Coming out of Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Zhaoming rode straight back to Lu Mansion. Along the way, he saw that there were people everywhere talking about him, and he didn't care. However, after entering his own courtyard, he gave the order: "Pack up all my things in the Jian Xin Pavilion." ”

At this time, someone came to invite him to the main courtyard: "Lang Jun, Madame, please come over." ”

Mrs. Wu was asking a Taoist priest to do it in the courtyard, and there was a miasma. Seeing her stepson coming, she held a thick red skin plaster on her forehead, and her eyelids did not lift, but said, "I heard that you are moving to Jian Xin Pavilion?" ”

"Yes, madam, Zichu was careless for a while, causing such rumors, which disturbed the parents, elders and younger siblings. Therefore, I moved to Jian Xin Pavilion for self-reflection, and Mrs. did not have to worry about it. ”

Mrs. Wu thought quickly in her heart, she knew that he must not be as he said when he moved away at this time, the so-called repentance, self-blame, guilt, these nonsense words from the mouth of her stepson, she didn't believe a word.

However, even so, she didn't dare to say anything more.

In fact, she knew in her heart that this stepson, who was talked about very badly in the eyes of the world, was definitely not a person to mess with. And what made her suffer the most was that every time he had such a thing, he always couldn't pick it up and pushed it off. Afterwards, when people talked about him, he also brought his stepmother in.

Over time, even her husband is very dissatisfied with her in his heart, but he has never had a seizure.

So in the end, she could only swallow the bitter fruit in her heart, nodded calmly at him, and advised: "Then you can do it yourself." ”

Because of the delicate timing of the incident, early the next morning, Jingzhao Mansion was called by the crown prince Xiao He to ask about the beginning of the case, and Xu Zhizhang, who was talking to Lu Zhaoming in the house yesterday, was also present.

After Yin Yang Yanming returned to the investigation results of the case, the prince looked at him and asked with displeasure: "Rulin, to tell you the truth, did Zi Chu already notice that this embroidery girl had bad intentions, so he took the opportunity to leave the Lu Mansion?" ”

The young man who was called Rulin was surnamed Xu, whose name was Zhizhang, and he was the governor of Jingzhao Mansion. At this time, he didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly knelt down and said: "This embroidery girl was indeed arranged by King Qin's people to enter the Lu Mansion, and he wanted to use her to tempt Zi Chu, but he saw through it early." However, he passed this embroidery girl several times to embroider Buddhist scriptures for himself, and it was indeed intentional, and Rulin did not dare to hide this matter for him. But then the embroidery girl hooked up with Tu Chang next to King Qin, and then she became pregnant. I don't want to, this Tu Chang is really ruthless, and he can even do his own flesh and blood! ”

When the prince heard this, he just smiled and played with the taste: "Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, he Tu Chang follows King Qin, if he doesn't even have this little bit of ruthlessness, I'm afraid that he will be replaced by someone long ago." ”

He said again: "That's it, since this matter was handled by Zichu and Rulin, the two of you, then Gu has nothing to worry about." ”

Jingzhao Mansion has always been efficient in handling cases, but in two days, there was a closing statement at the mouth of Wuyi Lane, saying: Xiuniang Qiurong, since she was married to the little girl in Lufu, and had an affair with a man surnamed Guan outside. After being pregnant due to adultery, she wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Lu Zhaoming, the eldest of Lu Mansion, and was pushed into the pool by a man surnamed Guan to blame Lu Fu. Now that the truth has been ascertained, the cause of his death has nothing to do with Lu Fu and Lu Dagongzi.

Since the date of the issuance of the notice of the closure of the case, the government has offered a reward of 100 taels for the wanted man surnamed Guan until he is arrested and brought to justice, and his crimes will be investigated according to the law, so as to show the law of the country.

Although this is the case, the people who eat melons are talking about the so-called "Longyang Fetish" of the eldest prince of Lufu because of this, and many matchmakers have red eyes, gritted their teeth and said: "Violent heavenly things!" Tyrannical creatures! Such a handsome noble son, he doesn't like girls? Is there any reason for this? ”。

Fortunately, the parties didn't care at all, so that afternoon, after moving into Jian Xin Pavilion, Lu Zhaoming packed his bags, took two entourages in a light car, and went straight to Los Angeles, which was 300 miles away from Beijing.

Inside the Yin Mansion in Los Angeles, backyard.

Fangfei now lives in a small courtyard in Yinfu, because she has liked hibiscus since she was a child, and she was born in the early June season when hibiscus are in full bloom, so her grandmother named her yard Hexiangwu.

The furnishings in the lotus incense dock are all exquisite and gorgeous, and there is a small but very elegant Fuchi in the courtyard, and the frog sound is in full bloom in summer, which is not inferior to the rest of the cousins and cousins who live in what Begonia Spring Dock and Xiangjun Pavilion are not inferior to.

Since the last time she fell into the water "to save people", she was forced to pretend to be a patient on the bed for a few days, and then almost everyone from all over the house came to her small courtyard in person. It wasn't until the second lady appeared in person that Mrs. Yin nodded and allowed her to go to the ground.

There was nothing to do on this day, she roughly counted her assets according to her memory, and roughly classified the shops, antiques, goldware, silver, Zhuangzi, fields, jewelry, etc., and then put down the pen in her hand, nodded with satisfaction, and then went to the Jixu Zhai where Yin Chonghua, the eldest cousin of the long house, lived.

Yin Chonghua is chaste and quiet by nature, dignified and beautiful, and usually uses embroidery, writing, painting and painting to pass the time in the boudoir, among the sisters of the Yin Mansion, she is a unique talented woman.

Fang Fei came to the door of Jixu Zhai alone, only to see that the courtyard door was empty, and it was quiet inside, thinking that the people were taking a lunch break. Hearing the footsteps, a mother-in-law rubbed her eyes to greet her, and was just about to open her mouth to salute, when she smiled and waved her hand and asked, "Where is the big sister?" But taking a nap? ”

The mother-in-law felt a knock in the palm of her hand, and then touched the temperature of the silver, and smiled into a big chrysanthemum at the moment, and said again and again: "The old slave asked the seventh lady to say goodbye, my girl has a short nap time, and she has already gotten up at this time, and she is embroidering the dowry in the pavilion!" ”

Fang Fei willingly let her leave, and after two steps, she waved and whispered. The mother-in-law nodded again and again, only saying that the sisters in the boudoir wanted to say a few words to themselves, and immediately responded: "Little lady, rest assured, the old slave must be optimistic about the courtyard gate." ”

Turning the green banana tree under the eaves, I happened to see Yin Chonghua sitting in front of the ice cracked oval window in a plain spring shirt. Fang Fei saw a pot of green calamus beside her, the long leaves were as smooth as jadeite, and it made her faintly have a bit of fairy charm.

"Big sister is fine."

Yin Chonghua raised his head when he heard her voice, then smiled, put the needle and thread in his hand into the dustpan, and said loudly: "Seventh sister is here, come here, watch the tea." ”

Fang Fei sat down and looked at a belt that Yin Chonghua was embroidering, which was obviously embroidered for her future husband, the son of the Luo family. Thinking of the memories of his previous life, although this Luo Gongzi was from a poor family, he did later take the imperial examination, and he can be regarded as a talent.

However, his widowed mother was mean and jealous, and she had always looked down on a daughter-in-law like Yin Chonghua, and later in order to hold her daughter-in-law's status in the family, she specially found a niece from her mother's family to marry into the door as a concubine, so she sighed softly in her heart: I hope that everything in the past life will not be repeated in this life, and the eldest sister should not suffer such grievances.

Yin Chonghua saw that Fang Fei just drank tea and didn't speak after she sat down, so she guessed that she had something to say to herself, so she sent the maid next to her and asked, "Is there something wrong with the seventh sister?" ”

Fang Fei nodded and slowly said her plan. When she learned that Fang Fei wanted to take out more than ten shops and a Zhuangzi from her dowry to supplement her, Yin Chonghua immediately shook his head and asked, "Seventh sister, why do you suddenly say this, this is absolutely impossible!" How can I ask for your dowry, it's a relic left to you by your aunt! Do you hear someone chewing their tongues? ”

Fang Fei nodded and said, "I heard Cousin Qiongzhi complain to people at home a few days ago, saying that her grandmother is partial, complaining that her dowry is too thin, and it will be undignified to marry her in-laws in the future. Today, I heard that the eldest sister, your in-laws, came to find the eldest aunt, and they were talking about the dowry...... I know that I am young and ignorant, but I really want to share my worries for my grandmother and aunt, as well as my eldest sister and Sister Qiongzhi. So I thought about taking out some of the assets left by my mother, so that you don't have to worry about these things. ”

Yin Chonghua also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden, but when he heard Fang Fei say this, he still sighed, shook his head and said, "Seventh sister, this matter must not be done." If you really do this, outsiders will definitely say that our Yin Mansion has no rules and disregards family affection, after all, there has been no such precedent from ancient times to the present. Furthermore, and more importantly, I am not afraid of my mother-in-law's sudden request, because she is not reasonable, and my husband will not approve of it. Moreover, I am married, and my status in my husband's family is not determined by the amount of dowry, but by me as a person, my character and morality, and whether I can do my duty as a husband and children, serve my mother-in-law, and take care of housework. To put it mildly, I, Yin Chonghua, will not use this bit of gold and silver to measure my value. This is a big joke to me. I say so, you may be relieved? ”

Fang Fei nodded, pretending to be a little confused, and said, "I understand what the eldest sister said, and I also know that the eldest sister has a valuable character and is the most courteous and affectionate." But I'm worried that when you get married, the rest of my sisters won't pity my sister who is not surnamed Yin as much as you do. So ......"

Yin Chonghua suddenly understood, reached out and shook Fang Fei's right hand hanging by his side, and after thinking about it, this was indeed the case. So he groaned slightly, and finally said: "Don't worry, seventh sister, our sisters, this matter is related to the reputation of our Yin family, I will definitely try to take care of it for you." ”

Hearing her say this, Fang Fei was relieved. Because it is really inconvenient for her to come forward in this matter, looking at the entire Yin Mansion, only Yin Chonghua's identity is the most appropriate.

Immediately unveiled the past and did not mention it, the two sisters chatted about some other things, Fang Fei looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls of Jixu Zhai and the embroidery in the embroidery, all of which were from Yin Chonghua's hands.

She was ashamed of herself, reflecting on the fact that under the protection of her grandmother and uncle, she had spent more than ten years in a daze, except for a beautiful face, she was a fancy person who neither read nor write.

It was precisely because he had no ink and an empty mind that he was sold and helped to count the money, so he was sent back to the capital by Su Linglong, and was cheated out of all the dowry by Lu Xiuyun, a scumbag.

At the end, I got on the sedan chair and entered the cave room, lifted the hijab and saw that the person I married was actually Lu Xiuyun's brother, what is the name of Lu Zhaoming's No. 1 wife and man!

In her previous life, until the last moment of her life, when she lit the happy curtain of the new house with her own hands, before she was engulfed in the raging fire, Fang Fei still had many things to think about.

She didn't know that since Mrs. Lu was married to her father, why did she want to kill her father and the Song family was raided? She didn't know why Lu Xiuyun didn't like herself, why did she leave her life and marry her to his brother?

Also, what she couldn't understand was that the man who finally became her husband had no feelings, but why did he rush in in the fire and try to save himself?

She has too many doubts, her past life is confused, and she still can't solve it in this life.

"Seventh sister, what are you thinking? So fascinating. ”

After being called back to her senses by Yin Chonghua, Fang Fei felt that people were stupid and had to read more, so she sincerely asked Yin Chonghua for advice to invite one or two female gentlemen to come back and teach her calligraphy and painting.

Yin Chonghua thought about it for a while, and then said: "The Mrs. Yao who used to teach me calligraphy and painting is no longer going out to teach, and the rest of the female gentlemen in Los Angeles are far less famous than her. Since you have some foundations, the gentleman you want to invite now should not be too mediocre. This matter is not in a hurry, you have to practice by yourself in the past two months, and I will go over every few days to take a look, and we will learn from each other. ”

After Fang Fei thanked her, she said goodbye and came back. After sitting in the house for a while, he changed into light clothes, and said to Green Calyx and Red Whisk: "Prepare the car, I'll go to Dongcheng Jian'anli to talk to Shopkeeper An about something." ”

At the gate of Yin's mansion, after seeing Fang Fei's carriage on the road, someone rushed to an adjacent house. After listening to the reply, Lu Zhaoming put down the scroll in his hand and said, "Let's follow." ”

In the area of Jian'anli in Dongcheng, there are dozens of shops belonging to Fangfei, which are built next to each other, so there are all kinds of food, drink, clothing, food and housing for business.

Now these dozens of shops are managed by the shopkeeper An, and the business is very good, which is the largest source of liquidity in the dowry left by Fang Fei's mother.

There are also two deputy stewards under the shopkeeper An, and the other is the shopkeeper in charge of each shop, this vast number of dozens of people, Fang Fei has only seen it a few times before, but I am afraid that most of the people will not even recognize her when they come to her.

Because there was no advance notice, after arriving at the teahouse called "Woyun Building" in Jian'anli, Fang Fei chose an elegant room to sit down, and immediately asked people to ask An to be the shopkeeper, and she took the green calyx and the red whisk to drink tea leisurely and wait.

Woyun Building is also an industry under Fang Fei's name, but she has recently changed the shopkeeper, and she has not met with anyone yet.

While he was waiting, he heard Hongfu come in from outside and hurriedly said, "The second lady is also here with Qiongzhi Girl." Sitting in the private room next to us, it seemed like they were waiting for someone. ”

Fang Fei's heart jumped, and after a little groaning, she said two words to the red whisk. Then when the shopkeeper was brought in, the new shopkeeper from Woyun Building also arrived.

Fang Fei indifferently asked how the sound insulation of the private room was, the new shopkeeper surnamed Zhao, seemed to be a smart and clever person, and quickly said: "The private rooms in our Woyun Building are all solid brick walls, even if they are two adjacent to each other, it is difficult to hear what the next door is saying." Therefore, a large number of people come to book, all in order to spend money to buy a clean and reassuring one. But—the private room next door is called Wenmei, but it is the only one of the twelve private rooms in our building that has an attic on top. ”

Fang Fei immediately understood what he meant, and immediately ordered Hongfu to go up to the top floor with the shopkeeper. Seeing that the shopkeeper An's face was surprised, he only smiled faintly, and said: "I remember that the previous layout of this Woyun Building was the meaning of the shopkeeper An, how could it be so coincidental today, after my second aunt came, she happened to sit in the Mei Pavilion?" An shopkeeper, we are Ming people who don't say dark words, as the so-called hearing the strings know the elegant meaning, without the arrangement of the shopkeeper, I definitely didn't listen to this corner as smoothly as it is now. ”

The shopkeeper is nearly 50 years old and has always been a cautious and diligent businessman. After hearing this, he repeatedly claimed that he was making amends, but he was very surprised in his heart: The girl is so powerful today, could it be that all the fools in the past were pretended?
