Chapter 197
The lady just smiled at Ruoxi and said: "Last time Mrs. Wang's old mother met Mrs. Hou on her birthday, she praised Second Mistress every single word, and she was very satisfied."

"I made Madam laugh." Ruoxi smiled lightly, knowing that these were just entertainment on the scene.The old lady didn't even introduce her, so she knew that she was not an important person, and she probably didn't even speak correctly when she said that she had met her mother-in-law.

At this time, several wives brought their wives and girls over, and the old lady introduced them to Ruoxi.They had known for a long time that the Second Mistress of the Hou Mansion was the ninth girl of the Han family, and now they all flattered and drew close to her when they saw her, leaving Ruoying aside.

For the sake of the old lady, Ruoxi had to socialize a few words, and finally sent this group away, and a few more came over there.Fortunately, the banquet will start soon, and everyone will be seated, only then can Ruoxi catch her breath.

Ruoyan was pregnant and didn't come, and Ruoting's in-laws didn't show up, Ruoxi didn't see Ruoling for a long time, so she dragged her to sit with her, and Ruoying sat next to them.

"You guys come out and live alone, you must have a happy life." Ruoxi whispered to Ruo Ling, and saw that her face was a little fatter, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little sharper.It seems that she has a good appearance as the mistress of the house, and she has a faint majestic aura on her body.

But Ruo Ling replied: "If you are not in charge of a family, you don't know how expensive it is, and it is even more difficult for me as a poor person in charge of a family!"

Ruoxi's heart moved when she saw this, she guessed that life at home must not be easy.Chen Weimin failed in this year's final exam because of his poor health, and all the people in the house depended on the farm and some money they got when the family was separated.Chen Weimin devoted himself to studying and didn't care about government affairs, Ruo Ling had to support the whole family, but his temper tempered a lot.

On weekdays, eating and drinking can be handled well, but if there is a little more entertainment in a month, the budget will be overrun.This time when Liu Huanchen got married, Ruo Ling took out the dowry money and added it in first.

"A few days ago I posted a post to invite you, but you were sick. Our sisters were close when we were in the mansion, so it's no wonder we haven't seen each other for so long." Ruoxi didn't say anything in advance, and said with a smile: "Next month It's the old lady's birthday, so you must come over!"

Ruo Ling's eyes flickered when he heard this, and then nodded.When she heard that the old lady of the Hou Mansion was celebrating her birthday, her first reaction was what kind of gift should she give.It's embarrassing to make such a small talk, but she really can't afford this face, so she has to take the middle class no matter what.

"This fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Sixth Sister and Ninth Sister should taste it while it's hot." Ruoying interrupted them with a smile, and personally picked it up.

"Ouch." She didn't catch it, a piece of fish fell on Ruoxi's lapel, and immediately oiled her clothes.

"What should I do?" Ruoying said apologetically, "Sister, follow me to the back to clean up." After saying that, he dragged Ruoxi to the empty house behind, Qingyu hurriedly followed her to wait after seeing her.

Ruoying asked Nongqin to get some clean water, and personally dipped a brocade handkerchief in the water to help Ruoxi wipe it.The oil was wiped clean, but a large piece of the skirt was wet and would not dry for a while.

She thought about it and said, "Why don't you let the girl go home and get some clean clothes to change into? Does Jiumeimei still have clothes in Qingfengtang? It's very close to home, and half a cup of tea is enough for coming and going. .”

"Qingyu, you should go back to the Han Mansion." Ruoxi said after hearing this.

"Grandma, what if the servant goes to you and there is no one to wait on you?" Qingyu hesitated, "Why don't the servant go out and catch a woman, since they are all from our Han family anyway."

"How can the women outside go to the Qingfengtang to rummage, they don't know where to put their clothes, and the little girl who stays to watch the house doesn't know what to do, so you better go. I spoil you on weekdays, but let you I'm so lazy that I don't even want to do errands." Ruoxi frowned and scolded.

After hearing this, Qingyu wanted to argue, but when she saw her put her face down, she went away resentfully.

"Sister, why bother to be angry with a girl? You are too sexual on weekdays, and you brought the sapphire back from the farm. Naturally, it is inevitable that you are different from the other girls. Let her do these jobs for the runway. She Of course I don't want to." Ruoying then ordered Nongqin to find some refreshments.

"I made my sister laugh." Ruoxi's face turned a little brighter, "Last night I told Second Master about my cousin's marriage, and I said I didn't know what gift to give, I was counting on Second Master to help me come up with an idea , but..." She stopped in the middle of speaking, and her face became ugly again.

Ruoying saw a twinkle in his eyes, and said softly: "There are a lot of business things these days, even the third master can't see the end, let alone the second brother? He thinks about big business all day long, how could Do you care about these little things? Sister, don't get into trouble with your second brother because of these insignificant things, it won't be good if you hurt the relationship between husband and wife. "

"Where do I want to bother him with these trivial matters? Just chatting with him a few words, who would have thought that he would be impatient and seem a little angry. But this morning, he put down the business in the shop and insisted on coming together. What a weird temper! " Ruoxi complained for the first time, and then raised her eyes to look at her, "There are too many things recently, I seem to be a little nervous. Do you think I'm a bit wordy?"

"Women are like this sometimes, but it's better not to whine in front of men. If my sister has any unhappy things, just talk to me about it, and it will make me happy when you say it." Ruoying held her hand affectionately. hand, showing a gentle smile.

She stared at Ruoying, and suddenly said lightly, "Eighth sister, we are always sisters!"

Uh!Ruoying was startled when she heard the words, and felt that there was something in her words, but it was normal for her to say such things under such circumstances.

The door opened suddenly, and Nongqin came in with tea.Ruoying hurriedly got up to take it, and ordered: "Go and watch at the door, our sisters can talk about themselves for a while." After speaking, he winked while Ruoxi was not paying attention.

Seeing this, Nongqin retreated, leaving only the two sisters in the room.

"My sister seems to be in a bad mood, so you might as well tell me if you have something on your mind." She poured two cups of tea and handed it to Ruoxi, "Let's chat while drinking tea."

"Drinking at this time is the most suitable time." Ruoxi didn't stretch out her hand, but said with a slight frown.

She got up and went to the door to call Nongqin, and after shouting twice and seeing no one, she said with a smile: "Just now I said that my sister is a slave, so now I'm talking about talking. Where must the girl playing Qin go?" I went to watch the excitement, and I will clean her up when she comes back."

"It's safest to play the piano, I must go to the latrine. Forget it, we don't want to get drunk when our cousin gets married, so we will replace the bar with tea." After finishing speaking, Ruoxi took a sip of the tea in front of her, "Well, come on Good Yuqian Longjing, won’t my sister taste it?”

After hearing this, she picked it up and took a sip, then said with a smile: "It really is a good tea, with a slightly bitter taste and sweet aftertaste."
