"The second girl is dedicated to honoring the old lady as her own grandmother, and she doesn't know if she is sold," Su's mother, who was listening, couldn't bear it anymore and sneered, "These new things, I'm afraid that the dowry list will not be on it, and as long as the accounts are settled, will the Hou Ye still have to calculate with the old lady how many things he has given and how much silver he has converted?" ”
"I know," Zhang Lan said, Luo Yuanpeng has been absent from Beijing for many years, Luo Qingrong is just a little girl, who will check the accounts? Earn 10,000 a year, report 6,000, and easily earn the money, "Does the old lady have her own business?" ”
"Then it goes without saying, our old lady is the daughter of the Dingguo Mansion, and she was also the Luo family who entered the Luo family with red makeup for ten miles," Mother Lin patted her thigh, "It is said that the old lady has half of the Hou Mansion in her hand, madam, think about it, our emperor is the nephew of the old lady~"
Oh, her husband is still a cousin with the emperor, in this country where the monarchy is supreme, Zhang Lan didn't realize that she had such a relative, and Mrs. Luo, with such a background, is afraid that if she is doing business or something, there will be no unsuccessful business.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiao Guan will help me find a shop in advance, there are some things that can't be rushed," Zhang Lan took a sip of tea, Luo Qingrong's dowry has nothing to do with her, but it is really like what Mother Lin said, she was swallowed up by Mrs. Luo, and if she will be cheaper in the future, then her own daughter will be too much of a loss, thinking that Luo Qingrong jumped into the water to save Luo Sujuan without thinking about it that day, Zhang Lan's heart was hot, such a girl is not to say that it is ancient, even if it is modern, it is rare, she can't sit back and watch her daughter being bullied.
"This, madam," Xiao Shan stood up and hesitated for a moment and said, "There are a few shops in our house, although the location is not in Hongyun Street and Runyufang, but East Street is also good, but they are all rented, if you want to use it, it's a big deal to lose some silver, and those shopkeepers don't dare to talk to our Hou Mansion~"
"Don't, Hou Ye has just returned to Beijing, and he must not do anything that hinders his official reputation," Zhang Lan was resolute, Luo Yuanpeng was the foundation of this family, she couldn't be the kind of woman who bullied others and ruined her husband's future, "I know that those two places are expensive, and it is impossible for you to find them immediately, you just take your time~"
"Madam, actually," Xiao Shan bowed, "As far as the little one knows, Guangrun Yufang, there are several shops in the Gao family, if the Hou Ye sends a word~"
"Isn't it," Mother Lin said suddenly, "The mansion of the British Mansion is in Runyufang~" The Gao family is a minister of the dragon, and the reward is the first share.
"Girl, what should I do?" Shi Lu listened to Jin Feng tell her about the affairs in Jinse Hall, and was so frightened that he rushed straight into Luo Qingrong's study, and stumbled to tell his master the news he heard, "Shall we tell the old lady?" ”
"No need," Luo Qingrong smiled faintly, Zhang Lan is too easy to be gullible, to put it bluntly, she is too confident, as if the people around her should be good to her and loyal to her, how can she not appreciate the intentions of Xiao Shan and Mother Lin? "There is a way to cover the earth, what is the hurry?" At the beginning, she believed in this stepmother too much and believed that she would definitely make her own "career", so she happily took out her mother's dowry shop, and now she doesn't nod, what can Zhang Lan do to her?
"But the meaning of the surname Xiao actually said that our Gao family was greedy for the Luo family's silver," the rich mother was outside the door, and she couldn't bear to pick the curtain to come in, she was a servant of the Gao family, and she came over with the Gao family to marry, how could she let someone pour dirty water on the previous master?
"Xiao Shan knew this very well in his heart, but he deliberately kept it a secret," Luo Qingrong smiled coldly, he wanted to fish in troubled waters, but the Gao family's water was something he could wade?
"Come in," Luo Qingrong put the copied Buddhist scriptures one by one, "I have something to tell your mother to do." ”
Wife Zhang Lan has been running out of the house these days, Luo Yuanpeng has been alone in the empty room when he came back from the yamen several times, this time when he entered Jinsetang, he saw that there was no one around, and he shook his head unconsciously, his wife is smart, but she really owes something to this rule, and if she goes on like this, I am afraid that the old lady should have something to say again.
"Someone is coming~" These girls, as soon as the master is gone, they don't know where to hide.
"Master Hou, you use tea, Mrs. went out early this morning," Xianyun held up the tea tray and mustered up the courage to come in, her life, success or failure depends on today.
"Why are you still serving here?" Luo Yuanpeng looked at Fenghua and his own Xianyun, his face was full of disgust, "Did Madame call you back again?" ”
"No, it's not," Xianyun glanced at Luo Yuanpeng timidly, kneeling at his feet, "After the slave and maid were injured, the lady punished the slave and maid to be a rough girl in the courtyard. ”
"Oh, you get up," Luo Yuanpeng was quite unhappy in his heart, "Madame hasn't come back yet?" What about Jinfeng and Gyokuro? Zhang Lan said at the time that she was going to send this girl away, why did she stay in the yard to make people suspicious, "You tell Mrs. to let her find someone to marry you within three days, otherwise I will let Yazi come to get someone." "If something happens to the master, if you can spare it, who of these subordinates will take their children seriously in the future?
"Master Hou," Xianyun was really anxious when she heard it, she also heard from Feixing that Zhang Lan would send her out as soon as she was injured, and she made a big mistake, but any servant with some heads and faces would not want her, thinking of Feixing's red eyes, and now Luo Yuanpeng's words have beaten her to hell, "Master Hou, you can spare the slave maid for the sake of Xianyun's dedication to serving you," Xianyun walked a few steps on his knees and hugged Luo Yuanpeng's legs.
"Master Hou, the slave maid has been following his wife, and he has been bent on serving Master Hou well, how could he do something to murder his master?" Xianyun lay softly on Luo Yuanpeng's lap, but her heart was like a rabbit, for fear that Luo Yuanpeng would kick her out as soon as he changed his face, "Master Hou, please have mercy on Master Hou, if Xianyun goes out, I will never see you again~" If she goes out, this life will really be over, Xianyun has been sweeping the yard for a while, and she has not listened to the mother-in-law in the house chewing her tongue, knowing that the heirs of the Luo family are thin, and there has never been anything to avoid the child, as long as you can get pregnant, even if you give birth to a girl, you can become a master, and this is what Xianyun desires most.
The familiar aroma slowly wafted in, and the two soft balls on her legs became tighter and tighter, but Luo Yuanpeng's face became colder and colder, this girl really couldn't stay, who did she think she was? It's hard for Zhang Lan to defend her everywhere, "Get out~"
No, I can't just leave, Xian Yun was anxious, she heard Su's mother say that there is no cat in this world that doesn't steal fishy, and there is no man who doesn't look at newcomers, Luo Yuanpeng was so strictly controlled by Zhang Lan, didn't he go to steal Aunt Jin? Thinking of this, Xian Yun boldly stretched out his hand to Luo Yuanpeng's belt, "Master Hou, you pity the slave and maid sincerely, the slave and maid came to the Luo family with their wife, and there is only Hou Ye in their hearts, and besides, the slave and maid are the wedding girls of Mrs. Zhang and Mrs., and they are the people of Hou Ye~!! ”
As soon as Zhang Lan turned around the shadow wall of the water house, she saw a person "flying" out of Jinsetang, and before she could figure out what was going on, she saw her husband striding out of the house, and when she saw her, she didn't pay attention to it, and snorted coldly and walked out of the courtyard door.
"What's going on? Where are you going? Zhang Lan stretched out her hand to grab Luo Yuanpeng, but was thrown aside by him, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
"Xianyun, Xianyun, what's wrong with you?" Yulu's eyes lit up, and she had already seen that the light purple figure on the ground was the former big girl in the water house, "Madam, Xianyun has fainted." ”
Zhang Lan had already come back to her senses, and then looked at the torn thin shirt on Xianyun's body, and thought with her nose that Zhang Lan also knew what was going on, "Carry Xianyun back to her room and call Feixing over." ”
Zhang Lan snorted coldly and entered Jinse Hall directly.
"Madam," Feixing followed Yulu in with a confused expression, and was startled when she saw the broken porcelain on the ground, "What's going on, Lily of the Valley," she raised her voice and prepared to call the little girl to come in and clean up.
"I'll just come," Jin Feng had already served Zhang Lan to change her clothes, she made a careful look at Feixing, briskly cleaned up the broken porcelain on the ground, and bowed her head and retreated.
"Where have you been? Do you want Yulu to call before you come over? Thinking of what might happen in Jinsetang, Zhang Lan was furious, "I want to come to Xianyun and you are good sisters, are you helping her make land?" ”
"Huh? What did Madame say? The slave maid didn't understand," Feixing said, and the person had already knelt down, "Today Su's mother hurt her wind, and the slave maid thought that you and Master Hou were not there, so she went over to boil medicine for her mother, and when she fell asleep, she sat in her mother's room for a while, who would have thought that she would also fall asleep, and it was the slave's fault that she was not in Jinsetang when she was on duty, but Madame's words just now, the slave didn't dare to admit it." ”
At this time, the flying star who admits death makes Zhang Lan feel more comfortable, and her stubbornness also shows the openness in her heart, "Who is the little girl in this room on duty?" How did Xianyun come in? ”
"She?" Seeing Feixing's face turn white for a moment, Zhang Lan waved her hand tiredly, "That's it, what's the point of asking this now?" Call Qin's mother to come over," she really misunderstood this Xianyun, she treated her sincerely, and wanted to seek a future for her, but she planned for her husband, Zhang Lan sneered, "You are also the dowry girl sent by Mrs. Zhang, what does this dowry girl do, you also know how to come, what?" Do you think I've wronged you by being jealous? ”
"Madam," Feixing was blushing by Zhang Lan's face, "Xianyun didn't know what the slave maid did, if she knew in advance, she would have stopped her, Madam, you have already made it clear to us when you marry into the Hou Mansion, Xianyun knows that she can't see it and wants to die, if Madam thinks that the slave and maid are the same as Xianyun, then send the slave and maid away~"
Feixing is slender, but not too thin, especially the pair of red lips, moist and full, or happy or disgusted have an indescribable style, perhaps because he knows his strengths, Feixing loves to bite his lips when he is nervous, and now, the corners of his lips have oozed blood, "I just said that, when you followed me, I said that I would find a good future for you, and I would not let you be slaves again, and your children would no longer suffer the grievances you had suffered, but why didn't Xianyun believe me?" Or was it when he didn't know that Xianyun had already moved his heart to Luo Yuanpeng? Zhang Lan only felt nauseous, "You go back and rest, the little girl on duty today will deduct a month's monthly money." ”
"Also, pass on my words, who would dare to go out and say half a word about what happened in Shuiju today, and beat them to death with a stick," Zhang Lan gritted her teeth and said, she is too benevolent to raise a traitorous minion, especially when she looks at Aunt Jin wholeheartedly, and the girl slapped her back with a loud slap, and she will not be laughed to death if it is passed out?
