Chapter 289: Calculation
Xie Rongzhao didn't want to come to the appointment, but thinking that Xie Ronglan was her cousin, she sent someone to Cheng's house, and if she didn't come, it would seem like she was so ignorant.
Liu Ruolan's excuse is also very simple, she got married, but her cousin never came to the door once, so she just took this opportunity to come over to recognize the door, and she will move around a lot in the future.
Xie Rongzhao didn't think that Xie Ronglan would do something useless to her.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Xie Rongzhao was very wary of her.
Sure enough, just after eating a cup of tea, Xie Ronglan looked at her wrist and said, "My sister's wrist is really good-looking, white and slender, I happen to have a pair of silver bracelets here, so I should be a gift for my sister." ”
Xie Rongzhao frowned, obviously a little incomprehensible to her statement.
"Yo, my sister already has a bracelet on her hand, let's take it off first, let's try this pair."
Xie Rongzhao had doubts in his heart, so he naturally refused to take off the bracelet.
"No need. I look at my big sister wearing this bracelet just right, my wrist is thinner, and it is easy to fall off when I wear it, but it is not as good as my sister wearing it. ”
The corners of Xie Ronglan's mouth twitched, is this scolding herself for being fatter than her?
"Since I said that I will give it to you, where is the reason to take it back? Let's try it, sister. ”
Xie Rongzhao was impatient and made a false accusation with her again: "Big sister, keep it by yourself, you said that you came to me to discuss something, what is the matter?" ”
Xie Ronglan saw that she refused to take off the bracelet when she said anything, and knew that she couldn't force it, so she had to put the bracelet away, and said seriously: "That's the case, I heard that Mrs. Cheng was sick a few days ago, and now she is getting better?" ”
Xie Rongzhao only felt that there was something wrong with this question.
Didn't you send people to Chengfu?
Then why don't you just prepare a gift for Cheng Fu to send over, it's normal to visit the patient, why bother to ask yourself again?
"Well, it's fine now."
Xie Ronglan smiled a little reluctantly: "That's good." As for me, I originally wanted to visit, but I was worried that Mrs. Cheng would be inconvenient to see guests, so I kept dragging it out like this. By the way, Sister Zhao and Cheng Jiazaburo's marriage was set since childhood, so she must know Cheng Yuanyuan, right? ”
Xie Rongzhao raised his eyebrows: "Big sister knows her?" ”
Xie Ronglan looked embarrassed: "Knowing is knowing, but this Cheng Yuanyuan is not a good person, and she has had an argument with me before." I didn't go to Chengfu to visit her for a long time, and I didn't want to meet her. ”
Xie Rongzhao was noncommittal, and always felt that there should be nothing good for her to take the initiative to mention Cheng Yuanyuan.
"Sister Zhao, I also want to ask you to be a lobbyist, Cheng Yuanyuan and I have a little misunderstanding, whether I offend her, or she has to ignore her, after all, our two families are relatives, it's really a big trouble, everyone's face is not good-looking, don't you say?"
Xie Rongzhao said with a smile: "Big sister said this, I don't even know what unpleasantness happened between you, how can I say something from it?" Besides, I'm just a child, and if you talk about this kind of thing, you should still go to Aunt Cheng or find my aunt. ”
Xie Ronglan choked, this girl can't talk badly.
"Forget it, this is my own worry, I'll go to Chengfu in person when I go back."
Xie Ronglan ordered someone to change the refreshments and left her to have lunch here.
Xie Rongzhao didn't want to stay, he always felt that if he stayed any longer, his bracelet would not be guaranteed.
Xie Ronglan saw that she insisted on leaving, but she didn't stay too enthusiastic, but just stuffed the pair of bracelets over.
Xie Rongzhao and the others have all gotten into the carriage, and it is not good to return the things back.
On the street, if you just throw something back, you don't know what kind of words will come out.
Chen Xia opened the box and looked at it: "Miss, this is a bit similar to the bracelet you are wearing, but it is easy to identify." ”
Xie Rongzhao just glanced at it lightly, and then subconsciously touched the bracelet on his wrist without making a sound.
"Miss, what do you mean by saying that this eldest lady wants you to come over? Could it be that the achievement was just to give you a pair of silver bracelets? ”
Of course not!
Xie Ronglan has always been unprofitable and can't afford to be early.
Xie Rongzhao fell his gaze on the small box again, was this bracelet prepared by Xie Ronglan, or was it someone else?
Two days later, Xie Rongzhao returned to Xie's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xie Ronglan first, she was still a little strange, why did Xie Ronglan go back to her parents' house?
When Xie Rongzhao noticed a figure behind her, he narrowed his eyes: "Who is this?" ”
Wang Ximeng hurriedly came out to salute: "Say hello to Miss Xie San, the villain's surname is Wang, and now he is working in the embroidery workshop in the county, Miss Xie is filial, saying that she wants to make a dress for the old lady, and the villain came here to tailor it." ”
Xie Rongzhao nodded slightly and went straight back to his yard.
Xie Ronglan said in a low voice: "Your plan is feasible?" Don't mess with this, she is the eyes of the Xie family, and no one can move it. ”
"Don't worry, eldest lady, we are not doing evil things such as killing people and overselling goods, so we can't be so scared."
Xie Ronglan patted her chest carefully, always a little uneasy.
"Miss, then I'll go and measure the old lady first, you can find a suitable opportunity to take out the bracelet."
"Are you sure? I didn't see anything unusual about the bracelet. ”
"Miss, if we can see the doorway, then can we stay in a small place like Gaoyang County? The noble man said that the bracelet was originally someone's old thing, and he just wanted to take it back to seek peace of mind. If the third lady was easy to speak, the nobleman would not have come up with such a method. ”
Xie Ronglan thought about it.
People said that they gave her silver, but she didn't want to take out the bracelet, so she had to think of another way.
"Wang Ximeng, if you get this bracelet in your hands, what I want, can you really agree?"
"Miss, rest assured, the nobles have their own opinions on this matter. The splendid articles in the capital will inevitably be sent to Chen Ergongzi as soon as possible, and then the township test and the meeting test, which will naturally be singing all the way and invincible. ”
That's a nice thing to listen to.
Xie Ronglan saw that Chen Erlang looked good and was very considerate to her, so she didn't want to reconcile with him.
It's just that the identity of a talented lady is really too low.
If you can be lifted, then you will have dignity when you go out in the future.
Of course, the reason why Xie Ronglan agreed to Wang Ximeng's matter was mainly because of the reward of one hundred taels of silver.
Although Xie Ronglan's dowry is a lot, most of them are dead things, and in terms of money, Xie Xiuran can't take out much, or Grandma Xie stuffed her with one hundred taels of money to press the bottom of the box, and later added the makeup given by each room, and barely made up one hundred and fifty taels of silver to the bottom of the box.
It sounds like a lot, but it can't stand Xie Ronglan's flowers!
"Miss, go quickly, as long as it is done, a hundred taels of silver can be presented immediately."
