Chapter 59

"The old lady taught me the lesson." The third wife's eyes flickered, and she was secretly happy. With the old lady as her backing, let's see how she can punish that little bitch!
The little girl who came in outside reported that Ruoxi had come.After hearing this, the third wife didn't say anything, she got up and went back to prepare Ruo Ling's dowry.

"Did grandma sleep well last night?" Ruoxi came in, greeted her politely, and then served tea in person.

The old lady replied with a smile: "Ever since you massaged me every day, my insomnia has gradually improved. Yesterday, for the first time, I slept until dawn."

"I just read a few medical books and fiddled with them. It would be great if there is an effect." Ruoxi didn't go out of the door, and spent all his spare time reading books.

The old lady took a sip of tea and said: "I have so many grandchildren, but you are the only granddaughter who never leaves books. I don't know whether to be happy or sad as an old woman. That girl Ruoling is not half as smart as you, but she is protected by Aunt Bao." , only you are a poor child. But don't worry, having grandma around will definitely not make you suffer!"

Ruoxi's face immediately blushed, but her heart moved.Listening to what the old lady said, it seemed that she was dissatisfied with Aunt Bao's involvement in Ruo Ling's marriage, and when she thought about the third wife's visit just now, she suddenly understood a little.

The Chen family soon sent over the dowry, and the wedding was scheduled for next month.Ruo Ling began to prepare the dowry, feeling anxious and looking forward to it.

Ruoxi took time to look at her, and saw that she was embroidering her bellyband.Seeing Ruoxi, she hurriedly hid the bellyband behind her back, two blushes flew up on her face.

"What good things did Sixth Sister hide?" Ruoxi snatched it with a smile, saw two mandarin ducks embroidered on it, and said with a smile: "The workmanship is exquisite and the embroidery is vivid, if the sixth sister-in-law sees it, I don't know how to praise it Woolen cloth?"

"What an unscrupulous girl, the eldest girl dares to say anything!" She blushed with embarrassment, and hurried over to grab it.

Ruoxi refused to give her back easily, the two of them chased around the house, and when they were tired from running, they both collapsed on the bed, laughing and panting heavily.

"Ninth sister, I've heard what my aunt said." Ruo Ling said pantingly, "No matter whether I can live a good life in the future, I should thank you. I'm going to get married next month, and the only thing I can't worry about is my aunt , please protect Auntie more." After saying that, her eyes turned red.

Seeing this, Ruoxi hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, as long as I have a little bit of strength, I won't make my aunt angry. I asked my sister-in-law to find out that the young master of the Chen family was born Zhou Zheng, a loyal person, and he never failed to study hard in the mansion every day. There is a lot of debauchery outside. Scholars are inherently high-minded, and they will definitely not do things. You just treat each other with courtesy and follow the rules, and he will respect you. But for any husband and wife, having respect is a good start. You are not arrogant. A reasonable person has the most easy-going temper. After a long time, he will get closer to you when he knows how you are. I heard that your mother-in-law is the most honest and kind-hearted, and has the best reputation among the sisters-in-law. The nanny and mother-in-law liked her only when she was alive. The young master of the Chen family has an elder brother who is already married, and two sisters-in-law who are both married. Once you get married, you will go out and live alone without any fuss. This is a day of peace and happiness!"

"I'm really worried that my mother-in-law will separate us to live alone." She looked worried, "I've never managed the house, and I don't have the means of Jiumeimei. I'm afraid I will make a joke by rushing around."

Ruoxi laughed when she heard this, "Just now you said that I'm not serious, and the word 'mother-in-law' was called so smoothly before I got through the door, and I was full of thoughts about what happened after I got married."

"People tell you what's in your heart, but you just laugh at me." She heard that her ears turned red, and her pink neck drooped even more beautiful than usual.

Regardless of his appearance, this person looked at his spirit with a good complexion.Although Ruo Ling is not as good-looking as Aunt Bao's by five points, her facial features have a kind of quiet beauty.

Seeing that she spoke heartfelt words, Ruoxi stopped joking, and replied solemnly: "Actually, it's very easy to be a mistress, there is a trick, do you want to listen to it?"

"Ninth Sister, tell me quickly!" Her eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she asked eagerly.

Ruoxi laughed again, "The daughter-in-law in charge, don't keep talking about things, if you see them embarrassed, ask 'can we find the old rules', or pretend to be unhappy and ask 'you are all smart people, with a smart heart , It’s not that smart to do things, come and see me tomorrow when you’re done. ‘The daughter-in-laws of the custodians will be good when they see you, and everything can be done safely without your making up your mind.”

She imitated the third wife's tone as she spoke, Ruo Ling couldn't help laughing.But thinking about what she said, there is some truth in it.

Ruo Ling asked again: "This trick can work, but it can't always be this trick."

"Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, both grace and power are given, and lead by example!" She replied concisely.

Ruo Ling thought about it after hearing the words, and said in a moment: "The twelve words my sister said seem simple but difficult to do. I will slowly understand it with my heart. I often heard my aunt say that my sister has a delicate heart, and now I see you." Sure enough. If my younger sister is in charge in the future, she will definitely not lose to my wife!"

"The skillful one works but the wise one worries, and the incompetent has nothing to ask for!" She whispered a sentence from "Zhuangzi", "I am a person without virtue and talent, and I just want to live a peaceful life without wind and waves! "

Ruo Ling said with a smile: "If my sister has no virtue or talent, then I'm just a piece of wood, but I have poisoned the word 'everyone's lady'. On the fifth day of the first month of this year, my grandmother took us to the temple to offer incense. My sister is not a smoker. Did you sign one? "A wisteria trellis around the corridor, and a red medicinal fence. Climb branches to pick cherries, bring flowers to move peonies." This is clearly a sign of great wealth and wealth. This elder sister will follow suit."

"I don't see your clever mouth on weekdays, but now that you want to marry a good man, your mouth seems to have been smeared with honey." She couldn't help making fun of Ruo Ling again.

The two were talking and laughing, but they saw Aunt Bao walking in with an ugly face, Ruo Ling hurriedly asked why.

Aunt Bao ordered Shuyu to watch outside, and then said: "There is a piece of emerald brocade in the betrothal gift from the Chen family. I want to take it out and let Linger make clothes for her in-laws. Who knows that I just went to report to my wife, and my wife He actually gave me a piece of brocade, saying that using the dowry would make our family too shabby. Although this piece of brocade is also very valuable, it is not worth a piece of brocade with a thousand gold pieces."

"It's okay to use brocade, anyway, the dowry has to be brought back with the dowry." Although Ruo Ling doesn't quite understand the rules of weddings and funerals, Ruoying and Ruoyan both brought the dowry with them The in-law's family added a dowry.

Aunt Bao's eyes flashed when she heard this, and Ruoxi's thoughts quickly understood her worry.The third wife protects Ruo Ling's dowry so much and prevents people from searching in the vault. Could it be that there is something tricky about it?
She and Aunt Bao looked at each other, and said: "Ma'am, there is nothing wrong with this statement. If you insist on checking the betrothal gift, you may not be able to catch him and be turned into an army."
