"The Xue family gradually quieted down, Chang Ningbo's mansion was still brightly lit, Chang Ningbo sat on a chair and looked at Ren Yanfeng, "The emperor asked people to check the changes in the capital, but there was such a big fire in our house last night." If this is discovered, it may be implicated in the rebellion. ”

Ren Yanfeng hurriedly said: "Prince An and the Xue family have made such a big noise, no one will pay attention to our family, and besides, it is just a fire that overturned the oil lamp, and it is not a big deal." ”

Chang Ningbo slapped one hand on the table, furrowed his thick black eyebrows, "It's just other things, that's it", said cautiously and looked around, "The crime of rebellion, there are countless people who have died in vain for this matter throughout the ages, not to mention that if someone really wants to harm you, even if you mention it in front of the emperor......... sneered twice, "If you are pretending to be sick at home, you are guilty of bullying the king, and having dissent is no different from rebellion." ”

Ren Yanfeng also frowned, "Father is serious. As long as we can support Prince Zhuang to ascend to the throne, we will naturally be safe and sound, and besides, my illness at home is all for the prince, how can the prince not care. If I accidentally find out and the prince will also be implicated, the prince will definitely protect our family. ”

Chang Ningbo said: "If you are cautious yourself, where do you need to ask others to help cover up?" How do you want me to explain in front of Prince Zhuang? ”

Ren Yanfeng lowered her head when she heard this, "It's not that the child is willing, I'll be careful next time and leave." ”

Chang Ningbo saw Ren Yanfeng's unrepentant appearance, thinking about the ridiculous things he had done over the years. This time the house is on fire, even if he passes this pass safely, he will be laughed at in the future, he has never been wrong in a woman all these years, but how can there be such a rebel, thinking of this, he suddenly became angry, picked up the cup and threw it on Ren Yanfeng, "You thing, my family business will lose in your hands sooner or later." ”

The hot tea that had just come up suddenly flowed into his neck, and Ren Yanfeng suddenly jumped up from the chair.

Mrs. Chang Ningbo and Mrs. Ren had just entered the house from outside, and when she saw this scene, she immediately stepped forward and said, "How can this happen." ”

Yaohua, who was walking behind, heard the voice and hurriedly walked a few steps forward. Ren Yanfeng only cared about pulling the clothes on the neckline, and Mrs. Ren cried while helping: "Master." You're crazy, how can you get burned? ”

Chang Ningbo still said: "It's the disaster of today's talent that you pamper him on weekdays", the back of his hand was also affected when he poured tea out, but he gritted his teeth and didn't open his mouth, or Mrs. Ren's mother next to him saw it clearly, and hurriedly asked people to take medicine to wipe it for the lord and the prince, and the house suddenly became a mess. It took a long time to calm down.

Chang Ningbo was angry, and only shouted: "Take a stick to kill the matter, and I will have less heart disease." ”

Mrs. Ren cried again.

Yaohua stood aside and didn't dare to raise her head, and finally waited until Chang Ningbo sat down to catch her breath, then knelt down and said softly: "Dad, don't be angry, I accidentally got up and knocked over the oil lamp when I was half asleep." When the prince passed by and saw the fire, he went into the house to put out the fire regardless of the prevention of men and women. "Tears fell as he spoke, whimpering and sobbing," the voice was sad to hear, "If there is a fault, it is the daughter-in-law's fault." ”

Chang Ningbo and Mrs. Ren already knew what was going on, but now seeing Yaohua crying like this, Ren Yanfeng knelt down and begged for mercy, and Mrs. Ren couldn't see her son suffering. also persuaded on the side, "It's all come to this point, the master can't be silent anymore." ”

Chang Ningbo flicked his sleeves and turned into the inner room.

Mrs. Ren hurriedly glanced at Ren Yanfeng, "I'll go in and see the master's injury." As he spoke, he looked at Yaohua with a slightly gloomy expression, "You can go down and rest too!" ”

Yaohua didn't dare to stay with Ren Yanfeng to speak, and asked how the injured person turned around and was about to go back to his yard.

Ren Yanfeng hurriedly chased after him through the hall, and he didn't say anything else, only to accompany him. "It's all my fault, who knew that the wine was so strong, and I didn't know it soon after drinking it. If you are even the slightest sober, you will definitely not do this, you will spare me this time. In a moment, I will make it clear to my father and mother that this time it is always none of your business. No matter what the outcome, I'll take it all in. ”

Yaohua didn't speak, just wiped her tears, Ren Yanfeng only felt itchy when she looked at the cheeks, "Don't worry, I know that your dowry has burned most of it, and I always want to make it to you and leave." ”

Yaohua shook her head and whimpered: "Money is just something outside the body, as long as the prince finds a way to protect himself, if it doesn't work, I will cut my hair and become a sister-in-law, and wait until the prince will marry another person in addition to clothes." "In the end, I was choked up and couldn't continue.

Ren Yanfeng's eyes widened with a look of disbelief, "Who are you and me?" You defend me to say today's words, how can I not understand the truth in my heart", said with a deep face, swearing, "Don't worry, even if you are broken, I will bear all the crimes." ”

Yaohua returned to the house. Emerald is in the side room for people to tidy things up. The courtyard was on fire, and Yaohua moved into this courtyard with people, which was only separated from the west courtyard by a wall.

After entering the inner room, Xiangzhu brought tea to Yaohua and comforted: "Since the prince agreed, it can be seen that there is no such meaning, and the young lady is married in a beautiful and beautiful manner, and the lack of a round house is just because the prince has not been removed, in fact, the name has already been decided, where can there be no name in the main room." ”

Yaohua picked up the tea and drank it, couldn't help coughing after taking a sip of water, and hurriedly covered her chest. How could she be willing to think so much, as the saying goes, a gentleman takes precautions, and there has been no peace since she married into the Ren family. How can she not think about everything, if it weren't for the status of the main room, she wouldn't have married into the Ren family in a hurry, if she didn't even have a reputation, she would have no chance......,... What she is afraid of is that this matter will make a big fuss, and the Ren family will marry another wife in the future. Her mother's family has no talent to rely on, and the clan dislikes her a lot, and who will stand up and speak for her.

Yaohua was thinking. Jade came into the house and said, "Did the eldest grandmother tell Mrs. to change the yard to live?" The aunts are all in the west courtyard, only a wall away from us, and it's not a joke if it spreads. ”

If it weren't for the fact that Jade didn't know where to hide where the mother-in-law outside would see her grandmother's embarrassment, Jade didn't think about it, and now she still didn't have the heart to shout and scream, and she blocked her grandmother in vain, Xiangzhu frowned and looked at Jade fiercely, "See if I don't tear your mouth." ”

Jade was shouted unclear so she only felt aggrieved, just about to step forward, Xiangzhu had already said: "Grandma is not in a situation now, you don't know, instead of complaining here, it is better to think about grandma, grandma only brought a few of us from her mother's house, we don't care about waiting for others to see the joke?" ”

Jade said: "I'm also for my grandmother.........

Seeing that the house is going to be chaotic again," Yaohua frowned, "Don't say anything." ”

Xiangzhu and Jade's faces tightened, and they all stopped talking.

Yaohua raised her eyes to look at Jade, "How much loss?" Figured it out? ”

Jade pressed the grievances in her heart, and stepped forward and said, "Figure it out." The brocade brought by my grandmother burned more than a dozen horses, and only five of them were burned lightly, but they couldn't make clothes. The clothes in the box were all destroyed, and only some silk and yarn ...... remained."

Yaohua said: "How are the calligraphy, paintings, and ancient books I brought?" ”

Jade said: "The calligraphy and paintings have been burned. It's a little wet, and it's okay to put the ancient book far away. Then there are a few sets of heads that can be washed out in front of it. "Most of the burned calligraphy and paintings and clothes were put into the side room because they were valuable, but I didn't expect it to be because of β€”... Fortunately, the book did not burn.

Jade said: "There are not many dowries for the eldest grandmother, and this burn has burned a lot, and I see that I am about to buy clothes, but there is no fabric, and the slave and maid are also sad so they don't choose to speak." ”

Yaohua is already full of sorrow. After freshening up, it was hastily settled, and the next day I just had breakfast, only to hear someone outside: "The fourth lady is here." ”

Yaohua hurriedly got up and went to greet Ren Jingchu.

Ren Jingchu brought a few maids into the house happily, and when she saw Yaohua, she smiled and said, "Look what I brought you." ”

Yaohua looked over and saw the maid holding a few pieces of clothing and a few things for life.

Ren Jingchu smiled: "I'm afraid that you will be useless if you catch fire here, so I picked some and sent them over, don't dislike it." ”

Yaohua's eyes turned red, "Take out a handkerchief and wipe it."

Ren Jingchu hurriedly persuaded, "What are you crying about?" If it's not enough, I'll let someone take it for you and leave, anyway, I can't take it all with me if it's empty. ”

Yaohua couldn't help but be surprised, "Why is that?" ”

Ren Jingchu smiled, his face drooped, and the Qingqiong next to him had already said, "The Xue family has given news." No matter how much my uncle's marriage is handled, he can't go past Wu Muhou. ”

Ren Jingchu looked at Yaohua, "It's not a good thing that your eighth sister did." ”

Ren Jingchu pulled Yaohua into the inner room to speak, "I'm not talking about how your family is. But she Tao Ronghua is a concubine after all, why do you want us to hold her, no matter how low my dowry is, it can't be as low as two hundred. Mother only then discussed with the Xue family, the Xue family agreed, and they would definitely give a heavy gift, who knew that it would change in a blink of an eye, and all the previous discussions were not counted, and the dowry should be compared with Wu Muhou's. Aren't the things in my room in vainβ€”" he said again, "I heard that Mrs. Xue is sick. My marriage is not just ...... Your eighth sister on the head. As he spoke, Ren Jingchu tightened his veil.

If she really only has a dowry of a few dozen like the concubine, wouldn't she become the laughing stock of Miss Beijing.

When Ren Jingchu left, Yaohua called Xiangzhu and asked, "How much dowry has been prepared for the fourth lady in the house?" ”

I was afraid that the eldest grandmother would be unhappy when she heard it", so I never mentioned it, but now that the eldest grandmother asked, Xiangzhu said: "The fourth lady is the heart of the old lady, and when she came back from Jinhua Mansion, more than a dozen carriages were sent to Beijing." This time she said that she was going to get married, and the old lady sent someone to send a lot of things into the house, and the ones that were worn were not counted, and there were also heads, jewelry, even if the lady was like this, and there were still good furniture and boudoir beds made of Xiao Ye Tan, I heard that these plus soft can have two hundred lifts. ”

With a dowry of 200 lifts, no wonder Ren Jingchu was in such a hurry, one day she deliberately showed Ren Jingchu the dowry list. Ren Jingchu had an extremely surprised expression on his face. Ren Jingchu was also afraid of ending up with her, just because of the person they had to face together, Tao Ronghua.

"In addition to objects, there are also shops, rice shops, fat powder shops, and antique shops, all of which are accompanied by the old lady."

Yaohua nodded, "These shops are all taken care of by the fourth young lady?" ”

Xiangzhu said: "I heard that the son of the world is helping me." ”

Yaohua thought about it carefully, Wu Muhou had a bad reputation outside, and the second room of the Xue family was clearly going to overpower the big house. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the current political situation.

Behind the Ren family is Prince Zhuang, Prince Zhuang is hot in the court, and it is logical for the second room of the Xue family to want to rely on Prince Zhuang. It seems to be very beautiful to choose the grandson of the eldest princess as a son-in-law, but the clan relatives and nobles that the Ren family can climb up to are not limited to the Xue family. She already knows very well that now the Ren family is targeting Wu Muhou, since it is targeting Wu Muhou, why should she marry her daughter to the second room of the Xue family, but if you get married, it is nothing more than a relationship of interests, and the Xue family must have something to make the Ren family look good. Yaohua picked up the book and put it down, whether it was at her mother's house or her husband's house. Well, to stand firm, you have to feel like you can take advantage of it. Otherwise it will simply be thrown aside.

Yaohua was thinking about it, and Xiangzhu's godmother replied, "The Xue family has news that the eighth aunt is happy." ”

Ren Jingchu returned to the room and looked at the embroidery on the bed, "Xianniu, who was invited from outside to be a female celebrity, said with a smile: "The fourth lady also needs to embroider two stitches." It's also good luck. ”

Ren Jingchu was not in a good mood, so he answered casually twice, and when Mr. Nuhong left, Qingqiong hurriedly said: "Grandma went to Mrs. and said that she wanted to pick a gift to go to Wumuhou's mansion, and Mrs. Wumuhou was happy." ”

Ren Jingchu was surprised and dragged an "ah", and was stunned for a moment.

Tao Ronghua was already extremely scheming, and now she is pregnant again. If she marries the Xue family at this time, will she not be at the mercy of Tao Ronghua? Thinking that a concubine was going to stand on her head and make a fortune, Ren Jingchu reached out and swept the tea bowl on the table to the ground.

Yaohua was still sitting in Mrs. Ren's room, when she saw a maid with a strange look and dragged her into the house, leaned into Mrs. Ren's ear and said a few words.

Mrs. Ren's face changed suddenly, "Nonsense, what she says is what she says." Saying that, he looked at Yaohua, "Prepare things tomorrow and ask the Xue family about the situation." Then let someone accompany you. ”

Yaohua stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

Yaohua is gone," Mrs. Ren hurriedly dragged to Ren Jingchu's room. I saw that the maid was cleaning up the broken porcelain and going out, and the things used by the relatives were thrown on the ground, and several second-class maids in the house were about to come forward to pick it up, and Ren Jingchu's voice was immediately heard. "I see which of you dares to pick it up."

Mrs. Ren bent down to pick up the scarf of the mandarin duck playing in the water, and everyone in the house stepped forward to salute, and Ren Jingchu saw her mother.

After sending all the people in the house down, Mrs. Ren and Ren Jingchu went into the blue yarn cupboard to talk, "What's wrong?" Who messed with you? ”

Ren Jingchu said: "Who else is it." Saying that, he became angry, "I'm not marrying, I'm not marrying." ”

Mrs. Ren straightened her face when she heard this: "What nonsense, why don't you get married." ”

Ren Jingchu cried: "Tao Ronghua is already pregnant. Where is there a place for me in the Xue family. Even if I get married, I just have to look at her face, and I just think of her fake appearance and I feel sick. But now I want her to climb on top of me......"

Mrs. Ren was stunned and said, "Who told you?" ”

Ren Jingchu said: "I asked people to go to my mother's place to deliver snacks, and naturally I heard it." Mother still wants to hide it from me? ”

Mrs. Ren sighed, Mrs. Wu Muhou is happy, what does it have to do with you getting married? ”

Ren Jingchu rudely wiped away the tears on her face, "Just look at my sister-in-law today to know Tao Ronghua's methods, where am I her opponent, and now I am pregnant, it's not that I want the wind to be the wind or the rain." I'd better be ......at home than marry and be humiliated."

Mrs. Ren took her daughter's hand, "It's really a child's temper, don't say that it is right to be happy after getting married, take a step back and say that when you enter the door, as long as it goes well, there will be news soon, who dares to do anything to you?" ”

Ren Jingchu still refused to agree, and the mother-in-law beside Mrs. Ren stepped forward and whispered: "I don't know how many things have happened in October when I am pregnant, even if I can give birth to a child smoothly, it depends on whether it is a boy or a girl." ”

Ren Jingchu hesitated slightly: "That's good" Just wait until she gives birth to a child, and I will marry her. ”

Mrs. Ren's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, "The date of marriage has been decided, how can you change it casually." What your father meant, "You are not too young, I want you to marry into the Xue family as soon as possible." ”

Ren Jingchu suddenly cried again, "I won't marry, I won't marry, and I won't marry if I die." ”

As soon as Mrs. Ren left angrily, Yaohua entered the house, and was also startled to see the house full of messes.

Yaohua looked at Qingqiong, "What's wrong with Fourth Miss?" ”

Qingqiong gritted his teeth and didn't dare to speak.

Only then did Yaohua step forward and pat Ren Jingchu's back, and said softly: "What's the matter, how can you cry so well." ”

Ren Jingchu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then choked up: "Your eighth sister doesn't know what the essence is, if I get married, maybe she will be swallowed alive." ”

Yaohua couldn't help but feel sad when she heard this, and sat on the side with Ren Jingchu and cried, Ren Jingchu gradually cried so much that she had no strength, but she saw that Yaohua still couldn't stop shedding tears, Yaohua was wearing a cyan shirt that made her look thinner and thinner, and the appearance of suppressing and crying when she lifted the silk was even more sad.

Ren Jingchu said: "Mentioning her actually caused you to cry." ”

Yaohua couldn't help coughing for a while before saying, "The fourth sister was born pure, and she couldn't let go of these things in her heart before she complained to me." I shouldn't have failed to persuade you to shed tears on my own. ”

Ren Jingchu hurriedly said: "Good sister-in-law, I know the bitterness in your heart. ”

Yaohua raised her red eyes and tried to show a smile, "The same people may not have the same fate. What's more, I'm not bitter, it's my blessing to be able to marry, Mrs. is generous, "You are closer than your own sister, I don't ask for anything else, as long as the family is safe, it is my blessing." After a pause, he said, "I saw you sad today, and I ...... You're going to be a thousand times better than me."

Ren Jingchu said: "Where is this, your good lady has been suppressed by one of her concubines, and now she is Mrs. Wu Muhou, I will call her a second sister-in-law when I get married, and the Xue family has no place for me." ”

Yaohua put away the veil, "Are you worried about the dowry?" I'm afraid that I can't marry into my husband's family? ”

Ren Jingchu's face turned red and was silent.

Yaohua said: "I'll give you an idea, if you think it's reasonable, you can ask Madame, if it doesn't work, just because I didn't say it." ”

Ren Jingchu's eyes lit up, "took Yaohua's hand and urged, "You say it quickly, say it quickly." ”

Yaohua nodded, "The Xue family just can't give many dowries, but it doesn't stipulate how much dowry our family will prepare. ”

Ren Jingchu said: "I don't know this truth. My mother said that if my dowry is a little more, I will have face on my face, but the Xue family is not an idler, the difference is too great, the Xue family's face is dull, and I will not be loved by the elders when I enter the door in the future. ”

Yaohua said: "That's the truth, after all, Old Madam Xue is Princess Heshuo, so she naturally cares about face. It's just that before the dowry, you have to send all the items you use on weekdays to the Xue family first, you are the meat of our old lady's heart, and there are naturally more things around you. So it's okay to be thoughtful. ”

Ren Jingchu's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of this" As long as I don't follow the dowry box to carry it out, it is also my thing to enter the Xue Mansion earlier. ”

Yaohua smiled: "That's it." In the future, it will still be convenient for my sister to use. These things were placed in the Xue family, and the Xue family also understood the meaning of this, and knew that her sister was knowledgeable. Which family doesn't want the daughter-in-law's dowry to be more, and the younger sister is the young lady of the noble family. The identity is different, the etiquette is understandable, and it must be in line with the identity of the sister. Although my eighth sister has a lot of dowry, she doesn't use many personal objects on weekdays, which is different from her sister, and the things in the same dowry are very different, and my sister doesn't have to be afraid to look shabby. ”

Ren Jingchu grew up in Jinhua Mansion and didn't know the sophistication of the people in Beijing, just like Shi Mi last time, he thought that he would be able to win the first place with more rice and grain, but he didn't expect to be almost convicted for it. All the ladies in the capital are through the big scene, where can not see these, so often get together to discuss right and wrong, saying that Miss Ren Si is a villager, but Miss Ren Si is not allowed to enter the door, as long as you go out to participate in the banquet must be full of gold and silver, this time the marriage is to prepare two hundred dowry, I think this is the scenery.

In fact, the real scenery is not necessarily what it seems.

Ren Jingchu was overjoyed, "If my sister-in-law said it earlier, I wouldn't have to worry, and when I said this to my mother, my mother would definitely agree." ”

Yaohua said: "Marrying into her husband's family is not as good as being in her mother's family, and it is appropriate to think about everything clearly for yourself." ”

Ren Jingchu nodded in response, and suddenly remembered one more thing, "It's just that my grandmother gave me a few shops, what should I do?" Where do I know a lot, my brother does it for me on weekdays. ”

Yaohua hesitated: "I'm afraid that after my sister marries into the Xue family, those shop masters won't be able to help." Even if it is a sister's marriage, as long as she enters her husband's house, it will be her husband's family, how can she let her mother's family help again. ”

Ren Jingchu frowned, "Who can I trust except my brother." ”

Yaohua was also embarrassed.

If you enter the Xue family, you can't ask your mother's family for help, so what should I do?

Otherwise...... Ren Jingchu looked at Yaohua, "I'll leave a few shops at my mother's house and let my brother take care of them." ”

Yaohua deliberately avoided this topic, "It's better for my sister to discuss this matter with the prince." ”

Ren Jingchu thought about it seriously.

Even if Shizi is the only one, a man is only afraid that it will be difficult to speak, so she might as well remind Miss Ren Si for him.
