Chapter 29

Xin Ruo generously admitted that she had indeed left Xin Rou and left, but it was only out of the Fangyuan Gate, what was wrong with waiting for her on the way, the one who really left the gate of the Marquis Mansion first was Xin Rou herself.

Now that Yuan Xinyu and Qingqiao are testifying for her, Mrs. Liang has nothing to say. If she doesn't believe what other people say, how can she not believe Xin Yu.

Sure enough, the old lady's face darkened when she heard this, and she looked at Xin Rou's face with a chill. Xin Rou didn't know that Xin Ruo would say such a thing, so she was stunned for a moment.

Xin Ruocai didn't care about it, and continued: "Before I left, my mother repeatedly taught me not to ruin the reputation of the Yuan Mansion, or I would deal with it according to the family rules when I came back. When I left, I wanted to go back home.

When I asked the fourth younger sister, the fourth younger sister chased the eldest sister away. I couldn't make up my mind for a while and was afraid of getting lost and losing the face of Yuan Mansion, so I followed.Zilan went out to look for spices for a long time ago, so she took the opportunity to get acquainted with some fragrances, so she could say a few words for the elder sister.

But Zilan is my maid after all, although it is right to help the eldest sister, it is a matter of the Hou Mansion after all, but the fourth sister wants to keep Zilan, I am afraid that I will be punished when I come back, so I took Zilan out of the yard . "

The more Xin Ruo talked, the redder her eyes became, and she looked timid that she was afraid that the lady would punish her, but the old lady heard the truth. The lady only taught Xin Ruo to obey the rules, but indulged Xin Rou. Although the old lady is old, But he is not confused at all but very shrewd.

If what Xin Ruo said was wrong at all, it would be strange if Xin Rou would jump up and criticize according to Xin Rou's temperament. Now it is clear which is right and which is wrong, Xin Ruo always puts the reputation of Yuan Mansion first, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Looking at Xin Rou's expression of unwillingness to criticize and glaring at each other, the old lady felt more and more that this granddaughter from the first line was not as good as Xin Ruohao, not to mention her arrogant temper, she didn't understand the truth.

The old lady immediately frowned in displeasure, "For the past half month, you will stay in your yard obediently, and you are not allowed to go out for half a step. Copy the female ring a hundred times in the house."

Immediately, Xin Rou's face turned red and white with anger, what was wrong with her, the elder sister was wronged, was it wrong for her to leave a maid, she was the one who left first, but in the end it was her fault.

She refused to accept, Xin Rou raised her neck, and retorted: "I refuse to accept, and I was right, so why should I be punished?"

Seeing Xin Rou's stubbornness, the old lady turned against her, and immediately put the teacup in her hand on the table heavily, "What are you dissatisfied with, Zilan is Xin Ruo's girl, how can you say to stay?" Stay in the Hou's Mansion when you are in the Hou's Mansion, you are used to being pampered in the Mansion, and being a Marquis' Mansion is also a place where you can mess around.

If you really keep Zilan here today, you will really tear your skin off with the Hou Mansion, and your eldest sister's life in the Hou Mansion will be even more difficult. Accused, you say you have nothing wrong! "

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, her eyes immediately turned to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady also turned the corner. It was not wrong for Zilan to help Xin Yu from the perspective of Yuanfu.

But if Xin Rou really kept Zi Lan, she would just hold on to Shizi's fault, and it seemed that the Yuan Mansion was stingy and left a thorn in Xin Yu's side.

The son is used to being a dude, and the most important thing is that he can't bear the loss of face. If Zilan is really by Xin Yu's side, in the future, the son will not wait to see Xin Yu even more when he sees him. Xin Rou left Zilan for Xin Yu's good. .

She knew that even at that time she might not have thought so much, let alone her, but the old lady's punishment just now must have been too severe, Xin Rou is also impetuous, she is still here, how can she protect her, She contradicted the old lady no matter what.

The eldest lady hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the old lady again, and spoke softly, "Xin Rou and sister Xin Yu are deeply in love. Seeing that Xin Yu had suffered such a big grievance at that time, she acted recklessly when she didn't do so much. It's the daughter-in-law who didn't teach well. She will definitely discipline her when she returns home, but the weather is getting colder, and the plum blossom banquet may start someday.

Xin Rou still has to practice the piano these days, and some friends in the boudoir are asking each other for advice. They come to the door, so it is not good to stay in the yard all the time. Besides, the old man’s birthday is approaching, and Xin Rou is busy preparing for the birthday gift. Slowly? "

Take it easy, I'm afraid it will disappear, Xin Ruo sneered at the moment, the lady is really good at Tai Chi.

Xin Ruo frowned, playing the piano can cultivate one's self-cultivation, which is much more useful than punishing women for copying rings.

Immediately helped to persuade: "Grandmother should do it, the fourth sister of the Plum Blossom Banquet has been preparing for a long time, she has to practice for three or four hours a day, she really doesn't have time to copy the female ring.

Last time when I gave my fourth sister cream, she was practicing in the pavilion. It sounded good. The bamboo grove in the grandmother’s courtyard was quiet and elegant, which was just suitable for the fourth sister to practice piano. Grandma could feel good when listening to it, and could help Just pointing out one or two, and you can do it in one fell swoop. "

Seeing Xin Ruo praising her, Xin Rou proudly raised her neck.

Being able to win the plum blossom banquet among many girls is also a matter of face to the Yuan Mansion. It is just right to come to the old lady’s yard to practice the piano and let the old lady know her hard work. Maybe she will reward her with something, so she followed Xin Ruo’s words:
"The granddaughter has to practice hard for three or four hours every day. She has made great progress in her piano skills. When she gets the piano later, she will come to relieve the old lady."

The eldest lady frowned, she practiced for three or four hours a day, she still needed her hands, she wanted to help Xin Rou refuse, but it was too late, Xin Rou answered by herself.

Just thinking about how to save her stupid daughter who was still enjoying herself, the old lady said, "Well, that's a good suggestion. My old man stays in the house all day and gets bored, so it's good to listen to the piano. "

After answering, the old lady looked at Xin Ruo more kindly than before. Not only was she respectful and polite, she was also a smart person, knowing that the eldest lady was just playing careless with her. In this way, she not only gave the eldest lady face but also punished her Xin Rou.

Three or four hours, according to Xin Rou's temperament, it should be a kind of torment, and she doesn't want her to practice for three or four hours, just two hours is enough, that arrogant temperament needs to be reformed.

Out of the old lady's yard, Xin Ruo couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing in a low voice. Seeing the madam's expression of hatred towards Xin Rou, Xin Ruo wanted to laugh heartily.

But she knew not to get too complacent, the eldest lady in this mansion has a lot of eyes and ears, she has just played the eldest lady's game, so she has to take it easy, if she wants to laugh, she can laugh until she returns to her place.

Seeing Xin Rou's triumphant look, Xin Ruo really suspected that she didn't know what three or four hours are, otherwise she would have chosen to copy a female ring. Last time when she was embroidering rich and noble peonies, she sat there for several hours in a row. She can remember it clearly.

Although playing the piano is a kind of enjoyment, but playing the piano for six to eight hours a day, and in the old lady's house, how dare she be sloppy, she must be 12 points energetic, and she will not peel off her skin after a few days.

No matter how much she messed up her time, she didn't dare to be too obvious. Who told her to boast herself? What is hard training? Concentrate on playing over and over again...

Zilan was also very happy, she only knew that the third girl couldn't sit still for an hour at the third aunt's place last time, and the fourth girl suffered a lot this time, she deserved it!

Who told her that the villain would file a complaint first, and wanted to keep her in the Hou's mansion. She thought so well, she deserved to be unlucky, but Zilan was also a little uneasy, and before she left, the vicious eyes of the eldest lady made her feel flustered.

Xin Ruo went back to the yard, and Nan'er and Bei'er rushed to greet her. Xin Ruo smiled and asked, "Has Mo Lan not come back yet?"

Nan'er shook her head, her pink smile was really cute, and her clear and crisp voice was like pearls and jade on the plate, "Sister Mo Lan hasn't come back yet, but it should be soon, girl, you are hungry, slave girl will go to the kitchen to get her meal."

Xin Ruo nodded, looked at the brooms in their hands, and said with a smile, "There are few people in my yard, and there is no need to sweep the fallen leaves. Just sweep once in the morning, and it will look autumnal if you leave some fallen leaves."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and told Zilan, "Last time, Third Aunt sent someone to send a piece of fabric, and you can make a set of clothes for each of you."

Zilan was overjoyed when she heard this, but she shook her head and said, "How can it be possible? It was given to the girl by the third aunt, and besides, the fabric is not something we maids can wear."

Nan'er and Bei'er also nodded. The materials of the maids' clothes in the mansion are in accordance with the rules, and the master is naturally happy to reward them, but if they are envied by others, they will be punished along with the master.

Xin Ruo is speechless, it's not like there are many rules in general, even if you want to reward them with some material to make two winter clothes to keep out the cold, it won't work.

Xin Ruo frowned slightly and thought for a while before saying to Zilan, "I should have a few taels of silver left over there. Later, you go outside and buy suitable fabrics and come back. You can make two sets by yourself inside and out, and there are also cotton wool and goose feathers. Buy some more, I will use them, if there are too many things, let Nan'er accompany you to get them."

A few people hurriedly agreed with smiles on their faces, Zilan was even better, and Xin Ruo had known for a long time that she treated them well.

Nan'er and Bei'er had only been here for a few days, and they were overjoyed. When Xin Ruo gave them the cream last time, the two maids were so moved that they kowtowed and cried, and Xin Ruo felt dizzy for a while.

After Xin Ruo gave the order, she went straight into the house, scratched her forehead and thought, this silver is still not enough, let Molan go out of the house with 15 taels of silver to buy spices today.

She bumped into someone and wasted two taels, and now she only has eight taels left, so she has to find a way to earn some money, otherwise she will always be at a loss if she wants to buy something.

While drinking tea, Xin Ruo looked at the three bracelets and a jade pendant in front of her, but what she was thinking about were those pearls sent by the Palace of Funing. Enough for her.

But it's not easy for her to find someone to ask for it, so she came up with the idea of ​​dowry before she was married, and felt a little weird in her heart, so she put this unrealistic idea away and didn't mention it.

After lunch, Xin Ruo embroidered for a while, and Mo Lan came back with two bags. Zi Lan hurriedly put down her work and poured her a cup of tea, asking, "Have you bought everything?"

Mo Lan put down the bag, took the tea and drank it, and nodded after listening, "I bought everything. The pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and paint are all in the small bag, and the spices are in the big bag."

Xin Ruo opened the small package and looked, and sure enough, a whole set of brushes was prepared. Xin Ruo saw that there were two different ones, so she picked them up to have a look.

After he reacted, he gave it directly to Zilan, and said with a smile: "The writing brush is broken, these two should be picked out for you by Molan, and this copybook should also be for you." In Zilan's hands.

Zi Lan immediately blushed, and gave Mo Lan a hard look. She never told the girl about the fact that she broke the brush while practicing calligraphy, and hurriedly went down with the brush and the copybook.

Seeing Mo Lan at the side, she covered her mouth and laughed straight away. Zi Lan came back with a copybook within 2 minutes after leaving, and handed it to Xin Ruo with a blushing face, "This should be for you, there are two copies."
