Resourceful beauty

Chapter 176 Cause and Effect
The man was wearing dark blue short brown trousers, a square scarf of the same color on his head, and a pair of black silk shoes on his feet.

Her back is straight, her smile is bright, and her eyes are sparkling even in daytime.

This is naturally Qiu Ming, but if it was him who appeared outside today, Fang Ruxuan asked herself, she would definitely not recognize him.

The last time I saw him was after Lanxi married into Qiu's mansion, he took Lanxi out to the night market. At that time, Qiu Ming, although he was an adult, everyone would think he was a child with his gestures, but at this moment, that The feeling is gone.

Qiu Ming seemed to be a different person, which surprised Fang Ruxuan and Mu Mian.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan sitting across from Lanxi, Qiu Ming's eyes lit up, blurted out the word "Piao...", and his steps forward stopped suddenly, Qiu Ming looked at Lanxi with some embarrassment.

Seeing Lan Xi's eyes full of encouragement, Qiu Ming walked down the steps to Fang Ruxuan, bowed his hands, and said politely: "A Ming has seen a beautiful sister."

He still remembers himself.

But in the eyes of others, even in Fang Ruxuan's own eyes, Qiu Ming is a complete fool, but at this moment, hearing Qiu Ming say "beautiful sister", Fang Ruxuan's eyes are slightly moistened.

In her previous life, those years in the Qiu Mansion were an experience that she would never want to remember forever, but even in that environment, God still gave her a ray of warmth.

Qiu Ming, who always wanted to protect her, and Tao Ye, who regarded herself as her own sister, had better save her life.

"Amin, do you remember me?"

Hiding her tears with a smile, Fang Ruxuan asked Qiu Ming.

Qiu Ming nodded again and again, seeing Lan Xi pulling his sleeve, walked over and sat beside Lan Xi, grinning and said: "We saw it when we were viewing lanterns on the [-]th day of that year. Also, we saw it when we were young." , Amin said that she will never forget her beautiful sister."

It still sounds like a child's words.

However, just based on his performance just now, the neighbors will not be suspicious, right?
But thinking that this is not a long-term solution, and there will still be risks, Fang Ruxuan came up with some worries: "I have a Zhuangzi outside, otherwise, I will arrange for you to live in the Zhuangzi? With Lanxi's ability, you can be a lady in charge. There is still no problem, when the time comes, I will arrange for people to deliver daily necessities to you every few days, so there will be no accidents."

Lan Xi hesitated for a moment, then declined with a smile, "My servant is very grateful for Miss's kindness, but I think this kind of life is very good."

"Lanxi has been serving the second lady since she was a child. Although she has gone out a few times, there are not many people who pay attention to the slaves. When she gets married to the Qiu Mansion, no one knows about the slaves. For more than a month, The servant girl has also gone to the city to buy rice, grain and cloth ornaments a few times, and it is very safe. After a long time, the matter of the Qiu Mansion has passed, and the servant girl and A Ming are walking on the street in an upright manner. I am afraid that no one will recognize it. of."

It seems that Lan Xi has already planned it, and Lan Xi said it in an orderly manner, "If you go to the young lady's village, there are so many things, big and small, I can handle it by myself, but by then, there will be no one around A Ming. Take care, how lonely will he be at that time? The servant can't bear it. Besides, it is precisely because the servant is always talking and playing with the servant that Amin is willing to listen to the servant, and it will be what he is today. I don't care about him anymore, no one can guarantee whether he will become what he was before. If he really returns to his original appearance, there will be some vulgar servants in Zhuangzi, who will throw ugly words on the ground It's all a pit, and if you don't say it's embarrassing to the young lady, the slaves and Amin will feel bad."

Fang Ruxuan only thought of taking care of their lives, but she didn't expect to be as considerate as Lanxi. Hearing what she said, she felt that it made sense.

No more forcing, Fang Ruxuan nodded with a smile, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't force you. However, since you have settled down here, remember to come to me if you have any difficulties, understand?"

Lan Xi responded with a quick nod, "Naturally, this servant will remember."

Fang Ruxuan smiled, turned her head to look at Taoye, and saw her sitting in the courtyard door with a small bench, holding a flower pattern in her hand, and from time to time she put her ear on the door panel to listen to the movement outside. Xiao Zhan was extremely vigilant.

There is no difference from the previous life.

Lan Xi saw it, and explained to Fang Ruxuan with a pursed smile: "She has such a temperament, she is more careful than a slave girl. When she first moved here, the aunts and sisters from the neighbors came to visit, and she also moved a bench to sit there and said Several times, she shouldn't, so the slaves let her go."

After all, Lan Xi waved at Taoye, "Taoye, come here..."

Tao Ye put down the embroidery work in her hands, stood up and leaned against the door panel to listen to the movement outside, came over and sweetly smiled at Fang Ruxuan: "Miss Fang..."

The address is unfamiliar, but the expression is sincere.

"Taoye, your sister Lanxi has a small time to spend with Amin, are you willing to go back to Prince Qi's mansion with me and work by my side?"

Fang Ruxuan took her hand and asked kindly.

Taoye's eyes were wide open, she first looked at Lanxi and asked, "Sister, don't you want Taoye?"

"Fool, why would my sister not want you? But with my sister, I can only eat simple food and drink for the rest of my life. When I am with the young lady, I will have a good life."

Lan Xi laughed.

Tao Ye took her hand out of Fang Ruxuan's palm, and hid behind Lan Xi with a vigilant face, "No Tao Ye, Tao Ye would rather eat bran swallowed vegetables by my sister's side."

Fang Ruxuan was not surprised if she knew there would be such a result.

Behind him, Kapok jokingly said: "Look, your sister and brother-in-law are living a tight life now. If you become a maid by our lady's side, the monthly expenses for food and clothing will be different. At that time, your savings With the money, you can still subsidize your sister and the couple, wouldn't it make them live a better life?"

Taoye lowered her head and began to think.

After a while, she still shook her head resolutely, "Taoye believes that as long as we don't separate, even if we live like this for the rest of our lives, my sister will not be happy. I don't want to leave my sister."

As he spoke, he hid a little behind Lan Xi.

Fang Ruxuan laughed.

It was only then that Taoye realized that Fang Ruxuan's master and servant were teasing her, and they never thought of taking her away from the beginning to the end, and her cheeks blushed.

But she didn't dare to complain, stomped her feet, Taoye turned around and walked around behind Qiu Ming, and hid back in her room.

They smiled forbearingly, while turning their heads to look at the little girl's embarrassment. After a while, the door of the side room opened, and Tao Ye ran out in small steps, picked up the embroidery work on her stool, and hid in the room again. up.

The door of the house was closed, and the courtyard suddenly became quiet. Lan Xi smiled and said to Fang Ruxuan: "The maidservant's deed was returned to me when an accident happened in the Qiu Manor and she followed Madam to flee. Take good care of A Ming. As for Taoye's body deed, after Qiu Shumin married to Wulingbo's mansion, she felt that Taoye was useless, and handed over the body deed to Madam along with other people in her courtyard who were not in use. The Japanese mansion is in a mess, and I also stole it from my wife's dowry box."

With a sly smile on his face, Lan Xi said: "According to the calculation, the servant girl and Tao Ye are considered good citizens now."

Fang Ruxuan was very happy for them.

Lan Xi continued with a smile on his face: "I have also saved some private houses over the years, and when I escaped from the Qiu Mansion, my wife gave back some, and I should speak louder. The servants and A Ming, as well as Tao Ye, are Sitting and eating, this life is more than enough."

"Although the servants have not lived here for a long time, they feel that the people here are simple and honest, and everyone around them is very sincere."

Then, pointing to the east wall, Lan Xi said with a warm face: "Ms. Zhou next door seems to see that A Ming is not very bright, so she takes extra care of her servants. Usually, people who cook meat and make dumplings at home will Bring some here, and if there is no smoke coming out of the chimney of the servant's house, come knock on the door and ask us to go to her house for dinner."

As she said that, Lan Xi pointed out a few more houses, all of which were treated well by the neighbors on the same street.

Lan Xi grew up in Prince Qi's mansion, and she was with Fang Ruyu. You plot against me and I plot against you, and they often end up dying. She has seen and heard a lot of such dark things, but this kind of ordinary people treat people from the bottom of their hearts. But she has never felt the warmth, so she cherishes it very much.

Glancing at the side room with the doors and windows closed, Lan Xi lowered her voice, "Taoye is still young, and the servant will save her dowry first. When she reaches her age in a few years, the servant will be sure that the person who comes to propose will be able to keep her The threshold has been trampled flat, when the time comes, the servant will search carefully and choose a good husband for her, so that she can live her own life well. At that time, the servant and sister will also have a help."

Lan Xi almost thought of everything she could think of. It can be seen that since she bought this yard, she has been planning the future for their little life.

This kind of Lanxi made Fang Ruxuan feel warm and real.

"Then there's nothing I can do to help you."

Fang Ruxuan said with a bit of a smile.

"Naturally there are..."

As if afraid of Fang Ruxuan's refusal, Lan Xi said anxiously: "My servant and Taoye's body deeds are now in the hands of my servant, but if I go to the government to file for the record, this servant feels a little dangerous, so I have to ask Miss for help. Such a big matter Son, the servants are helpless."

This kind of thing seems to be a big deal among ordinary people, but to Qi Wangfu, it is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning. Fang Ruxuan nodded with a smile, "Okay, I will ask my brother to do it later. It is guaranteed that there will be no ghosts and no one. disturb."

"The maidservant wants to change her name, so she will be called Fang Xilan, and Taoye will be called Fang Xiye."

Even though she has become a good citizen, Lan Xi still regards herself as a slave of Prince Qi's mansion.

Fang Ruxuan nodded with a smile, Lan Xi got up and went into the room to get their body deeds, Qiu Ming grinned at Fang Ruxuan, stood up and followed them in.

Seeing that everything that needs to be said has been said, and what needs to be done is about to be done, the sun has already set in the sky, Fang Ruxuan and Mu Mian are about to leave.

At this moment, Tao Ye bowed her head and came out to see off the guests. Behind her, Qiu Ming scratched his head and said with a smile, "Beautiful sister, stay for dinner, Lan Lan's craftsmanship is really good."
