"Mother, sister, please take a seat." Zhao Yan took the lead in the house and greeted Jiang Qingrou's mother and daughter with a smile.

"The eldest sister is really polite." Jiang Qingrou took Zhao Ruxiu by the hand and sat down on the chair.

"Isn't that how it should be?" Zhao Yan also commanded: "Cherish the rain and serve tea." ”

Soon, a maidservant girl brought a teacup with a tray.

"Sister, do you want some snacks?" Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Ruxiu with a smile.

Zhao Ruxiu couldn't wait to splash the tea in her hand on her face.

This Zhao Yan is too good at pretending.

Obviously, every time they meet, they are-for-tat, Zhao Yan wants to pretend that nothing happened, and even looks very close to her.

It was disgusting to her.

"No need, big sister, you're too polite." Jiang Qingrou put down the teacup in her hand and said softly: "I'm here today, I'm looking for the eldest sister, and I'm going to pay back the silver." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Yan took a sip of tea, and there was a look of surprise on Chouli's little face: "Mother prepared so many silver taels so quickly?" ”

"It's not." Jiang Qingrou smiled and said, "You also know that my mother has no income, and she has three small shops in her hands.

In addition to the tea cake shop, the business is not bad, and the other two shops are barely keeping their capital.

This time, I brought a silver ticket and returned these to the eldest sister first. ”

She said, pulling the silver ticket from her sleeve pocket.

Zhao Yan signaled to cherish the rain.

Xiyu stepped forward to take it, and put his hands in front of Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan took the silver ticket, unfolded it and glanced at it, the corners of her lips hooked slightly: "One thousand taels?" ”

Jiang Qingrou, is this a flower child?

I owed her a million taels of silver, and after more than a year, I gave her a thousand taels.

That's it, there are also faces coming to the door, and you still want to get back those dresses and jewelry?

"Don't be too little, eldest sister, as the saying goes, a little adds up." Jiang Qingrou smiled softly and said slowly: "We are all a family, I will definitely not miss your things, but you have to let me come slowly."

You also know that your father's little money is not enough for the family's expenses at all, and I am also ......."

"Mother is too insincere." Zhao Yan put the silver ticket in her hand on the table and interrupted her unhurriedly: "I won't talk about the side, only the jewelry I got back."

If I send those jewels to the pawnshop, how many taels of silver does my mother think? ”

"I really can't take it out......" Jiang Qingrou's face remained unchanged, and she still smiled: "Eldest sister, we are not outsiders, you can give me some leniency."

When you were young, didn't you always hope that your father would treat you better?

When I went back, I persuaded him that our family would be in harmony in the future......"

She knew how much Zhao Yan longed for Zhao Wenjun's love.

That's one of her chips today.

Zhao Yan laughed as if she had heard some joke.

She laughed for a while before she said, "Mother is really joking, I'm married now, and I'm not a child."

Is my father treating me well, and what's the matter? ”

It's funny.

It's like those interesting gadgets that you couldn't touch when you were a child, so small when you were about to play when you didn't have it, who would be rare when you grew up?

"You ......" Jiang Qingrou didn't want her to be half impressed, and couldn't help but feel a little tricky.

"Mother, don't talk about it." Zhao Yan raised her eyes and looked at her, and said straightly: "If you want me to stop taking those dresses and jewelry outside, use the tea cake shop to exchange them." ”

She said, picked up the teacup and blew it gently, looking at Jiang Qingrou with a smile on her eyebrows.

Jiang Qingrou didn't say anything for a while.

She is calm, but where can Zhao Ruxiu endure it?

Zhao Ruxiu stood up even if she patted the table, pointed at Zhao Yan and said loudly: "Zhao Yan, my mother said that the silver will be returned to you little by little, don't you have to inch in!" ”

Zhao Yan ignored her and just looked at Jiang Qingrou.

Jiang Qingrou pulled Zhao Ruxiu over: "Xiu'er, sit down!" ”

"Mother, she's too much!" Zhao Ruxiu stomped her feet angrily.

"Shut up." Jiang Qingrou scolded her.

Zhao Ruxiu had no choice but to close her mouth sullenly and sit down again.

"Eldest sister, I know that when you were in your mother's house, I was a little harsh with you, but I was also for your good." Jiang Qingrou quickly returned to her usual normal, revealing her usual soft smile: "Now that you have become a family, our two families still have to come and go, and you don't have to be so ...... in doing things."

"That's what I do." Zhao Yan glanced at Zhao Ruxiu with a smile: "It is said that my mother loves the fourth sister."

Why would you rather give that tea cake shop to the third sister as a dowry than exchange it for the fourth sister's things? ”

She made this matter out of nowhere, but there must always be a reason to say it.

When Zhao Ruxiu heard this, she was really stunned, and looked at Jiang Qingrou in disbelief: "Mother, do you really plan to do so?" ”

"Big sister, what are you talking nonsense?" The soft smile on Jiang Qingrou's face suddenly retracted, and she turned her head and comforted Zhao Ruxiu and said, "You and Yuehua are both born to your mother, how can your mother favor one over the other?" ”

Zhao Ruxiu was skeptical, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

This is the mother who loves her the most, it shouldn't be possible to be so eccentric!

However, she remembered her mother's usual count of her and her praise for her sister, and her heart was a little bottomless.

"Didn't Mother plan to do so? But I was stupid, and after listening to the rumors in the market, I believed it. Zhao Yan took another sip of tea, covered the lid of the tea cup, and asked, "So what did my mother plan for that tea cake shop?" ”

"Of the two, one for each of their sisters." Jiang Qingrou saw that she wanted to make a fuss about this, so she simply explained: "The tea cake shop, I keep it for myself." ”

That's all right, right?

"Therefore, the reputation of the fourth sister is not as good as a tea cake shop in my mother's heart." Zhao Yan covered her lips and smiled with bent eyes.

Her eyes turned to the faces of the mother and daughter opposite, and she was very satisfied to see that their faces had changed.

"Eldest sister, you also know that the shop is almost the only source of money in the family, and you really can't do things too much." Jiang Qingrou still spoke in a soft tone, but her voice was unconsciously raised.

No matter how old and spicy she is, she can't stand Zhao Yan's big mouth.

That tea cake shop is really the most profitable shop under her hands today.

She was angry again, regretting that she didn't directly kill Zhao Yan at the beginning, and finally raised a tiger to make trouble.

Zhao Yan sighed, as if she sighed: "Everyone values different things, if I am blessed to have a pleasing daughter like my sister, let alone spend a shop for her, what about ten or eight?" ”

Zhao Ruxiu asked Jiang Qingrou, did her mother really not hurt her as much as she thought?

She is a scheming person, and the contradictions and entanglements in her heart are written on her face.

Jiang Qingrou was secretly anxious, but now she didn't tear her face, and it was not good for her to tell her daughter Zhao Yan in front of Zhao Yan that she was sowing discord.

"However, my mother still loves my sister, after all, I still bought my sister the same dress as before." Zhao Yan stood up with a smile and said quite eloquently: "Then mother will keep that tea cake shop."

I also saved a lot of silver to buy dresses and jewelry for my fourth sister, in fact, it was the same. ”

Jiang Qingrou looked at Zhao Yan, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Zhao Yan is threatening her, if she doesn't take out the shop, she will continue to spread those dresses.

"That's right." Zhao Yan seemed to remember: "I had nothing to do the day before yesterday, and I took a look at the jewelry I got back from my fourth sister."

Among them is a set of gold jade heads, but it is worth a lot of money.

I remember that it was my sister who entered the palace for a banquet and wore that golden jade head, and even the queen mother praised it.

Presumably, there are many people in the imperial capital who are impressed. ”

The gold jade is golden in color, and there is gold like sand and gravel in it, which is an extremely rare jade color, and the golden light is shining, and it is very expensive.

That set of jewelry, to say the least, is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, Zhao Ruxiu wore that jewelry at the beginning, but she was out of the limelight at the banquet.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Ruxiu stood up again.

"I'm wondering, should I let the Oiran of the Golden Spring Pavilion wear that gold and jade jewelry, or should I let the girl who is second only to the Oiran wear it?" Zhao Yan blinked her apricot eyes, as if she was really thinking: "Sister, you say, the two of them, whose face is richer?" ”

"Mother, you promise her!" Zhao Ruxiu collapsed suddenly, pointed at Zhao Yan and cried: "If you don't agree, my reputation will be ruined......"
