Ding's backyard, upper room, afternoon.

The old lady Xue rubbed her eyebrows: "Ge Shi? What did she come to do! ”

The maid knew that Old Madam Xue had never liked the pampered and arrogant Ge family, so she replied cautiously: "Aunt Ge said about the second son, she has an idea, and she wants to ask the old lady to slap her eyes." ”

"This is all over the house has been discussed, and I have no choice but to let Yan'er suffer this loss to hire that cheap. Women, what can she think of an aunt?! Old Madam Xue sneered.

His grandson knows that Ding Qingyan was born in an official family, and he was born with a handsome and talented appearance, and it is not once or twice that he deceived an ignorant girl outside.

It's just that Mrs. Xue's second son passed away early, Ding Qingyan has a sweet mouth and can coax people, and Mrs. Xue inevitably has special pity for this grandson - Ding Hanlin tried to discipline his nephew several times, but was scolded by Mrs. Xue, and over time, he became more and more bold, tired of the people in the fence and the little jasper, and actually stretched out his hand to everyone.

It's just that everyone is beautiful, and it's not just Yang Yi's room who suffers, but no one else has made a fuss, and they quietly have a private relationship with Ding's family. has such a criminal record, no one believes it.

Seeing that Mrs. Xue's tone was impatient, the maid didn't dare to make a sound, and was about to quietly retreat back to Ge's, but was stopped by Mrs. Xue's henchman Nan's mother.

Nan's mother persuaded: "The old lady can't sleep now, so it's better to call her in and ask." If there is really a way to make the second son not have to marry that water. Sex. Poplar. Isn't it good to be a flower girl? If her idea is not good, the old lady can also admonish her, lest Aunt Ge act more and more frivolously, and lose the dignity of our family. ”

This is a punching bag delivered to your door!

When Old Madam Xue heard this, she nodded: "Then call her in!" ”

After a while, Ge Shi entered the door - she was only in her twenties, her appearance was gorgeous, her figure was enchanting, and she gave a salute to Mrs. Xue delicately, knowing that she was not pleased with the old lady, and she was not verbose, and said: "The second son has fallen into the evil deeds of the Yang family this time, if he marries the fourth Miss Yang according to the Yang family's calculations, it will inevitably make people talk about it in the future, and it is really wronged." ”

Old Madam Xue originally planned to call her in to vent her anger, but when she came up to help her most painful grandson Ding Qingyan speak, her face softened slightly, and she said, "Didn't you say that you have an idea?" ”

"Let's just say that Miss Yang Si deceived the second son." Ge Shi nodded, "The second prince thinks that she is just a maid of the Yang family, and she is not a young lady of the Yang family anyway." In this way, she deceived the second son, why did our family marry her? You can also be a concubine at most! ”

Old Madam Xue and Nan's mother glanced at each other, and they both showed a deep expression: "But when Yan'er was found by the Yang family, she had already recognized that she knew the identity of Yang Yi's room. ”

"Didn't the second son be beaten a few times by that Yang Yiyong?" Ge Shi was confident, "Let's just say that the Yang family wants to drag our second son's top tank, and when the second son falls outside, Shengsheng will beat the second son into a trick!" ”

Old Madam Xue pondered for a long time, and said noncommittally: "I know, you go down." ”

Ge Shi answered, and the money was withdrawn.

When she was about to walk to the door, Old Madam Xue suddenly asked, "Who taught you this?" ”

"Nope!" Ge Shi immediately said, "It's the concubine who thinks about it!" ”

Old Madam Xue sneered: "You haven't usually taken care of Yan'er, why are you so enthusiastic this time?" ”

Ge secretly praised the person who bought him as a last resort, and the old lady really doubted it.

But she had already been reminded that she would naturally not be seen at this moment, so she turned around and bowed down in fear, and said tremblingly: "In the past, I didn't dare to care about the affairs of the second son, because the second son was old, and the concubine was not the second son's aunt, so I didn't pay much attention to the second son for fear of causing gossip." Since the concubine enters the door of the Ding family, it is the Ding family, the affairs of the Ding family, how dare the concubine not care? ”

Old Madam Xue stared at her for a moment and snorted, "That's a nice thing to say!" Give you one more chance - do you tell the truth or not?! ”

“…… Concubinage...... The concubine ......" Ge Shi estimated the heat, his face was timid, and he said with Ai Ai, "The concubine heard that the master will continue to ...... soon."

"Could it be that you have been in charge of the affairs of the Lu clan for two years, and you really think that you will be corrected?" Old Madam Xue was suspicious at this time, and said coldly, "Go back and keep to yourself, my Ding family wife has always been virtuous, you don't blame, who is impatient to worry about a concubine with you!" ”

Ge Shi heard that Mrs. Xue was promising herself, as long as she didn't cause trouble, Ding Hanlin's steproom would also protect herself from bullying when she entered the door in the future, so she hurriedly showed a look of great joy and thanked her: "Thank you for the old lady's mention, concubine!" After the concubine goes back, she must remember the old lady's teachings! ”

That's weird! The old lady turned around and took the private room to entrust someone, and the new lady must not be allowed to enter the door!

Ruan Qingyan looked at the wealth in the hall, not only did he send back the share he gave to Ge's family intact, but also added a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and after listening to Ge's request, he couldn't help laughing: "She should go to Miss Hehe for this matter, what do you want me to do?" ”

Dong Ran said with a smile: "The eldest lady is too famous, this Ge family is afraid of being known, after all, the old lady of the Ding family doesn't like her, if she knows that she has a big heart, she will definitely be kicked out of the house." So where would she dare? That is, this time we took the initiative to interact with her, but we didn't let the old lady notice, and she immediately thought about it. ”

"It's decisive." Ruan Qingyan smiled, "When the Ding Yang family really gets together, let's find someone to send these things to the eldest lady, and the right to run an errand for her." Whether or not to pick up with the eldest lady depends on Ge's own life. ”

This leg was completed the next day-if the Ding family is a man's daring according to Ding Hanlin's meaning, and Yang Yi's identity is not an insult to Ding Qingyan-To be honest, Ding Hanlin is very unaccustomed to this nephew who was spoiled by Mrs. Xue, and feels that Yang Yiroom is the one who is wronged in terms of his conduct.

However, Old Madam Xue resolutely refused: "Qingyan wants to admit that she has a private relationship with Yang Yi. Tong, even if he marries someone, this city is full of wind and rain, can he continue to gain a foothold in Beijing? He has no fame and can't be an official, so let him be an official?! If you want to hide, you can only go back to your hometown - our ancestral home is thousands of miles away from Beijing, do you rest assured that he will go over like this? ”

Ding Hanlin said cautiously: "The child must arrange someone for him." ”

"What about me?!" Old Madam Xue's throat was high, "I'm an old person, God knows when this life will pass as soon as I close my eyes!" I like this kid, don't you know?! As soon as he leaves like this, if I want to see him again before I die, I can't see him again, do you want me to die without turning a blind eye?! ”

Ding Hanlin smiled: "Mother, you are in good health!" How can you say this now? ”

"I don't care, I want a good granddaughter-in-law to marry! Then Yang Yi's room couldn't stand Yan'er's hook in the boudoir. Lead, who knows if you will be hooked by someone else after passing through the door? Old Madam Xue said arrogantly, "And Yan'er grew up with me, I can't bear to let him go!" The Yang family can't get married no matter what! ”

"But Yang Yiroom is already pregnant, if Qingyan doesn't marry her, where will she still live? The Yang family will not agree. Ding Hanlin said helplessly, "This is too evil." ”

Old Madam Xue glared at him fiercely: "That's the Yang family's goddaughter is not strict!" What's the matter with our family? Why didn't other people's girls have an affair with Yan'er?! Anyway, I don't agree, you can do this - give them more money, even if you can speak for their family in front of the court or your uncle, there is no way to marry their daughter! ”

knew that Ding Hanlin was more kind-hearted, but he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the persecution and pleading of the Yang family, and announced, "You dare to let Yan'er marry Yang Yimu, when will she pass the door, and when will I die to show you!" ”

His mother sacrificed a killer weapon, and Ding Hanlin had no choice but to play tricks no matter how sympathetic the Yang family was—after all, filial piety came first in these years.

His trick is like a bolt from the blue for the Yang family!

At this time, Ding Hanlin also heard a trick, that is, the day before, the sixth and seventh ladies of the Yang family went to see the fourth miss Yang Yi's room, drank the tea prepared by Yang Yi's room, and was poisoned and vomited blood - the people in the third room arrived, and they suspected that Yang Yi's room was angry but his future was ruined, and he was jealous that the two cousins had poisoned him, and now the third room was arguing with the big house, and he resolutely asked to split the family.

At this time, Ding Hanlin, who was originally persecuted by Mrs. Xue and was unwilling to play tricks, also felt that Yang Yimu, such a vicious person, should not let his nephew marry......

So when the Ding and Yang families were dead and alive - Ruan Qingyan, who was relieved, invited Lian Ding, each with a dowry list, and Shi Shiran knocked on the door of Xihe Palace!

"Dowry?!" Qiu Mengmin's and his wife's faces changed several times, "The two of you are too anxious, aren't you?" Trolling Lan is still guarding her mother's filial piety, and it is not time to go out yet. Are you still afraid that when she goes out, we will wronged her? The things that should be given to her will naturally be given to her, but they don't have to worry about it! ”

Lian Ding knew that the city was not as good as Ruan Qingyan, and when he came over today, he was told by Lian Chen to try his best to let Ruan Qingyan take the lead, and he was responsible for beating the side drum, which would only drink tea and not speak.

I heard Ruan Qingyan say lightly: "Originally, I wouldn't have speculated about the prince and princess like this, otherwise why did I come to the door now?" It's just that two days ago, Ling Xiaohou Ye bought a dotted bead line color chicken head pot from a famous kiln in the previous dynasty at a high price, and Xia Guan happened to talk to the housekeeper Ruan An, and Ruan An mentioned that when his aunt came out of the pavilion, there was also a similar one in the makeup. As a result, the lower official mentioned it to Ling Xiaohouye, and Ling Xiaohou asked the seller casually, and it turned out to be sold from the house! It was because I invited the cousin of the Lian family to come over, and I wanted to ask the prince and the princess, did you take the cousin's things by mistake? ”

Qiu Mengmin's face was very ugly: "Princess? ”

"Xu is that there were a lot of things in our house a few days ago, and Hongzhi's first housekeeper was inexperienced, so he asked his subordinates to steal things out." Princess Yang saw that Qiu Mengmin asked herself without saying a word, as if he had no responsibility, she was unhappy, and immediately dragged Qiu Hongzhi out.

"That's how it should be." Qiu Mengmin frowned and said, "Dogs have always been focused on reading and don't ask about mundane things. A few days ago, the king and the princess were sick on the couch, and he only came out to preside over for a few days, and the young man had little experience, and the dog was far less capable than Ruan Hanlin, so it was inevitable that there would be omissions. I hope that the two of them can ...... Haihan"

After a deep groan, he asked, "I don't know how much it cost for Ling Xiaohou to buy that dotted bead thread color chicken head pot?" Since it is Ruan's brother and sister's things, it should be repurchased and returned to Tuolan. ”

Ruan Qingyan's full official title at this time was Hanlin Editor, Zheng Qipin. Because of the nobility of the Hanlin officials, the officials of this court, no matter how high or low, are not formal occasions, and if there is no official in the Hanlin Academy, outsiders will call a certain Hanlin - at first glance, Ruan Qingyan seems to be at the same level as Ding Yiming, who presided over the Hanlin Academy.

"There's no rush to this." Ruan Qingyan smiled lightly and said, "After Ling Xiaohou knew that it was something that his aunt left for his cousin, he had already given the pot to Xia Guan. It's just ......," he said slowly, "that seller didn't just collect it from the house recently, but at the beginning of the year!" At that time, Xia Guan remembered that both the prince and the princess were still healthy, right? ”

Qiu Mengmin said calmly: "Those days were at the court meeting, and my wife was worried that His Majesty was not strict, which made Ruan Hanlin smile. ”

"Then why is the Diancui phoenix title in my aunt's grandmother's marriage also out?" His voice fell, and Lian Ding, who received Ruan Qingyan's eyes, put down the tea bowl, took out a gorgeous, delicate and beautiful hairpin from his sleeve, and said with some dissatisfaction, "This was given to my great-grandfather by the emperor back then, because my aunt and grandmother married into your mansion and made a special pressure box...... Why did he appear in a prostitute? Human heads?! ”
