Mama Yuan: ......

To be honest, every time she comes to Wutong Courtyard, whenever she is rejected, she has a feeling of expectation, and at this time, she still has a kind of confusion beyond reason.

The first reaction was that it was over, and the general's wife's abacus was crooked again.

After Huo Shi heard the news that Ning Ruyan was going to lead the cultivation in Wutong Courtyard, the whole person was completely bad, before she could say that the other party was just awkward in her heart and shirking, but now she knew that the other party really didn't want to have anything to do with the General's Mansion, but it was no problem if she wasn't implicated, the money had to stay, so she came over in person.

"Mother, why are you here?" Ning Ruyan couldn't ignore this, so he walked out, he was originally wearing filial piety, but at this time, he even took off the hairpin or something, and came out with his hair scattered, but he still held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

"You're ......"

"I've thought about it for a long time, the eldest young master is no longer here, all I can do is pray for him." Ning Ruyan smiled, "Amitabha." ”

Huo's: ......

Although he was speechless, he still took a deep breath.

"Ning, your eldest sister Ming'er has arrived, you ...... who is a sister-in-law"

"Mother, you are the head of the General's Mansion."

"Ning, my mother is old."

"Then let the second brother get married as soon as possible." Ning Ruyan's main focus is not to pick up, as long as she is not soft-hearted, no one will want to kidnap her morally.

"You ......"

"If there is nothing wrong, then the daughter-in-law will go back first, and this scripture must be recited nine times at a time." After Ning Ruyan folded her hands and bowed to the Huo family, she turned around and left the hall and went directly to the Buddhist hall in the backyard.

Huo Shi took a few deep breaths, and could only get up and walk out, but he stopped just two steps, and there seemed to be a bruise mark on Ning's neck just now, that ...... But when she looked over, Ning Ruyan's figure had disappeared, so she could only frown and walk out with the support of Mama Yuan.

The previous physical examination incident made her a little jealous, if the Ning family really did not abide by the women's way, then she had to catch the exact handle, otherwise, she would become the laughing stock of the General's Mansion again.

After lunch, Ning Ruyan was ready to go out, but after all, she was still sent to the fence, so she still needed to ask Huo's consent when she went out, but her reason was very sufficient, she wanted to go to the Big Buddha Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to pray for blessings.

"It's not a holiday, what are you going to pray for now?" Huo frowned.

"Mother, yesterday I dreamed of the eldest young master." Ning Ruyan stood there quietly, dressed in plain white, looking very weak, "He said that he was short of money and had no clothes to wear, so I was going to pray for him and send him a plate to wrap up, I couldn't live to sacrifice my life for the country, and I was so poor when I died...... " He lowered his head and wiped his tears as he spoke.

Huo's expression froze, he couldn't say he wouldn't let him go, right? In the end, he could only wave his hand, feeling that it was becoming more and more difficult to control this daughter-in-law, but before Ning Ruyan could walk out of the door, he suddenly stopped someone again.

"Mother, what's the matter?"

"Ning, it's the end of the month, and all kinds of accounts should be settled."

"So what?"

"You used to be in charge, now ......"

"Mother didn't say that I forgot, I took the dowry silver and pasted it before, it was originally a matter of the public school, but if my mother wants to make it up to me, then I'm not welcome." Ning Ruyan smiled, "Just go back and let the account room calculate." ”

"You ......"

"Mother, I'll go first." After Ning Ruyan curtsied, he turned around and left.

"Look at her, look at ......" Huo Shi pointed to Ning Ruyan's back and slapped the table angrily.

"Ma'am." Mama Yuan hurriedly came over to reassure, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it if you're angry." ”

Ning Ruyan also heard this, and what happened later was none of her business.

Out of the gate of the General's Mansion, Lao Qian had already driven the carriage and waited there, and when he saw Ning Ruyan coming out, he hurriedly came over and took down the footstool.

Banxia and Bai Zhi came over to help Ning Ruyan get into the car, and then they also got into the car.

Lao Qian and the other three people sat down, raised their whips, and left the General's Mansion in a hurry, and went directly to Wicker Lane.

"Miss, the slave is preparing to send a letter into the house." Ning Xing saw that Ning Ruyan was coming, and hurriedly greeted him in person, "The matter you asked the minions to investigate is all about it." ”

"Hmm." Ning Ruyan nodded, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Liniang found less news, after all, there is no such person in the Jiang family's hometown, and later the eldest lady sent a letter saying that after she claimed to be from Gusu, the slave sent someone back to Gusu, and the news over there has not yet come back, it is estimated that the eldest young master will pass it directly to the eldest lady at that time."

"Hmm." Ning Ruyan nodded, when Liniang asked her to say that she was from Gusu, she sent a message to Ning Xing.

"As for the Xu family in Lake City......" Ning Xing was silent.

"Questions?"

"The Xu family in Hucheng is a scholarly family, the Qing noble family of the previous dynasty, although no one has ever entered the court as an official now, but the ancestor has been the highest official in the criminal department." Ning Xing twisted his eyebrows slightly, "But the slave asked people to inquire about the news that came back, the master of the family is good, the wife of the family is surnamed He, and they are all there, there are two young masters in the family, two young ladies from the concubine, the eldest young master is only twenty-five this year, and there are people who are famous, but they have not entered the office, and now their son is only three years old, and the rest of the young masters and young ladies have not yet married." ”

"So, that Wu is lying?" Ning Ruyan was shocked.

Ning Xing didn't admit it or deny it: "However, the slave left someone there to see if there were any other people with the surname Xu." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Ning Ruyan nodded, "But let people come back, it shouldn't be able to be found." ”

Although Ning Xing was surprised, he didn't ask, just responded.

"There's something else for you to do."

"Miss, please."

"In this way, you go to Zhongxing Street to open a tea shop......"

When he came out of Wicker Alley, Banxia couldn't help but ask: "Miss, why did you think of doing a tea business?" ”

"Because one of the most profitable shops in the General's Mansion is the tea shop." Ning Ruyan picked up the pastries on the small table and took a bite, since Huo Shi didn't make up her mind to sell the shop, then she would help add to the fire.

Banxia blinked his eyes, and it took a long time before he suddenly realized: "......What does the eldest lady mean?"

"It's good to know." Bai Zhi stopped Banxia, "Don't be surprised. As he spoke, he poured Ning Ruyan a cup of tea.

Ning Ruyan just ate a piece of pastry, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she hurriedly took the teacup and took a sip, which made her feel much more comfortable, and her face suddenly changed: "Bai Zhi, you hurry up and grab me a pair of avoidance soup." (End of chapter)
