Chapter 245 Rumors Spread
Zhuang Jingmin pursed her lips vigorously, and a hint of sternness flashed across her face: "Jiang Hongmin and the fourth master walked very close, and Sister Shu also often went in and out of the fourth master's mansion, and followed behind Princess Ruijun, helping Rui The princess of the county entertains the guests..."

"Is it rumored that I was bullying the concubine's daughter by the family of Uncle Yongyi's mansion?" Zhuang Jingyi laughed instead, "Why are you angry, sister? It's not worth it for this kind of person!"

"What's not worth it?!" Zhuang Jingmin's voice suddenly rose, "She poured dirty water on Uncle Yongyi's mansion like this, which is tolerable or unbearable! How can I not be angry? Isn't she the girl of the Zhuang family?"

Zhuang Jingyi laughed "puchi", pulled Zhuang Jingmin to sit on a chair, and brought a cup of tea to Zhuang Jingmin: "Sister, you are wrong, she is really not a girl from the Zhuang family! That's why she treats Uncle Yongyi's house as an enemy Right, it should be!"

"..." Zhuang Jingmin was suddenly speechless.

"Sister, have you forgotten what she said on the day she got married? She has actually hated our family for many years, but she had no choice but to pretend to be a snake. Now that she has a husband, she has Duke Rui, with full confidence, naturally vented all his resentment."

Zhuang Jingmin said angrily: "That's what I said, but all along, our second room has not treated the third room badly, just because of the useless third uncle, it is difficult to even hold up the door!"

"Sister, drink a glass of water first to calm down." Zhuang Jingyi looked indifferent, "I think the reputation of Uncle Yongyi's mansion is very bad now?"

"Not really." Zhuang Jingmin took a sip of water and took a deep breath, "Some people don't think so. They think sister Shu is a bit exaggerated. Among these rich and noble families, which one has no sons and daughters, and those who treat them harshly There are too many, but there is no concubine in any family like Sister Shu..." Zhuang Jingmin's voice paused, "Sister, that Xiao family has also come out, and that Xiao Yixuan..."

"Him? What's wrong with him?" Zhuang Jingyi raised her eyebrows with a look of surprise, "Could it be that she's messing with him again? Isn't she afraid that Jiang Hongmin will be angry?"

"Angry?" Zhuang Jingmin looked disdainful, "How could he be angry? In my opinion, it's too late for him to like it!"

"How could it be?" Zhuang Jingyi was really surprised at this moment, "This world...there is really no limit to shamelessness."

"Do you know that Xiao Yixuan is going to be an official?" Zhuang Jingmin put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, "A few days ago, King Ruijun approached the Ministry of Officials to make up for Xiao Yixuan's lack of a sixth grade. , is not a very important position, but it is able to show up often, for Xiao Yixuan, it is just in line with his temperament."

"..." Zhuang Jingyi was suddenly speechless, no wonder there is an old saying that there are people in the court who are easy to be officials!A scum like Xiao Yixuan actually..., Zhuang Jingyi really shook her head besides shaking her head.

"Sister, let's not talk about her, it doesn't make people sick!" Zhuang Jingyi curled her lips, "She can toss as much as she likes! The happier she tosses, the more miserable she will cry."

"Could it be that she is allowed to tarnish the reputation of Uncle Yongyi's mansion everywhere, but we have no power to fight back?" Zhuang Jingmin gave Zhuang Jingyi a fierce look, "I know that we disdain it, but I don't know that we thought we were wronged!"

Zhuang Jingyi looked at Zhuang Jingmin and said with a smile: "It's not just rumors. What's the point? Rumors are three parts true and seven parts false. It's impossible to clarify. As the saying goes, the more you describe, the darker it becomes. No clarification, presumably this is also the reason why grandma and father kept silent."

Zhuang Jingmin's face turned dark: "Could it be that we can only..."

"Not really." Zhuang Jingyi smiled and interrupted Zhuang Jingmin, "Actually, the best way to clarify the rumor is to create another rumor."

"Creating another rumor?" Zhuang Jingmin's eyes lit up suddenly, "Sister, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that even if you want to create a new rumor, you have to keep it flowing." Zhuang Jingyi said slowly, "But when one rumor slowly dissipates, another rumor begins to spread quietly..."

Zhuang Jingmin's eyes lit up more and more: "Sister, I understand, this rumor has to be one after another, step by step!"

"Not only must the steps be compact, but it must be like a story, with ups and downs, ups and downs, plot twists, and fascinating." Zhuang Jingyi stretched out her hand to pick up a cup of tea, picked up the lid, knocked lightly, and lifted it slowly. He got up, took a sip leisurely, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhuang Jingmin, with a narrow smile in his eyes.

Zhuang Jingmin didn't look at Zhuang Jingyi at all, she just frowned, thinking about something, and for a while, the room fell into silence.

Zhuang Jingyi was not in a hurry, she just drank tea, and waited for Zhuang Jingmin to think things through. Finally, when Zhuang Jingyi was about to finish drinking a cup of tea, Zhuang Jingmin finally turned her head to look at Zhuang Jingyi, and called softly: "Sister~"

Zhuang Jingyi raised her eyebrows, raised her brows, and responded with a smile: "Sister, what do you think?"

"A bit, why don't we two sisters sum it up?" Zhuang Jingmin's dark face was now full of light.

"Okay!" Zhuang Jingyi put down her cup and stood up, "Sister, the moonlight is just right outside, why don't we watch the moon and talk at the same time?"

Zhuang Jingmin stood up without saying a word of nonsense, "Come on, let's go out and talk."

"Sister, don't worry, I made some mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival today, and my sister will try it." Zhuang Jingyi said, and ordered Qiuxiang to go to the small kitchen to get mooncakes.

The two sisters were sitting in the courtyard, talking while admiring the moon, until the moon was in the sky, Yuan Han came to find him, Zhuang Jingmin got up and followed Yuan Han.

After Zhuang Jingmin left, Zhuang Jingyi sat in the yard for a long time, then got up and went back to the yard, Qiuxiang took care of Zhuang Jingyi to sleep, then went out to pack up the mooncakes and distributed them to the maids, but turned around and went back into the house Seeing that Zhuang Jingyi was still asleep, she smiled and said softly: "Go to sleep, girl, it's getting late."

Zhuang Jingyi turned over and turned to look at Qiuxiang: "Qiuxiang, did you hear what sister said today?"

Qiuxiang nodded and scolded: "These three girls are really nothing! Remember how kind the old lady and madam were to her back then?! But... she bit the old lady and madam instead..., that heart is black at all! "

"It's going to rain, Niang wants to get married, there's nothing I can do about it." Zhuang Jingyi sighed sadly, "The third younger sister naturally has her own ideas."

"But we can't just watch the third girl ruin the girl's reputation like this!" Qiuxiang gritted her teeth.

"Qiuxiang, go to Prince An tomorrow and talk to Prince An." Zhuang Jingyi raised one arm, raised her head to look at Qiuxiang, and beckoned to Qiuxiang.

Qiuxiang hurried forward and leaned in front of Zhuang Jingmin: "Miss."

Zhuang Jingyi lifted her body, leaned close to Qiuxiang's ear, and whispered a few words. Qiuxiang suddenly opened her eyes wide, and turned to look at Zhuang Jingyi, with a surprised expression on her face: "Girl..."

"What? You think it's too vicious?" Zhuang Jingyi raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiuxiang.

"No, no!" Qiuxiang straightened up abruptly, "Based on what the third girl did, the servant still thinks that the girl is too polite! For someone like the third girl, she should have been taught a lesson before she can restrain herself. !"

Zhuang Jingyi looked at Qiuxiang with a smile: "Our Qiuxiang really looks like a heroic heroine at the moment! We must settle the injustice in the world!"

"Girl!" Qiuxiang stomped her feet and gave Zhuang Jingyi a reproachful look, "You'll make fun of me!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, Miss Qiuxiang, go to bed early, go to An Jun Wang's mansion tomorrow to find An Jun Wang, and tell An Jun Wang what I said." Zhuang Jingyi said, her body tilted, Lying on the bed.

There was nothing to say all night, and when Zhuang Jingyi opened her eyes again, it was already the morning of the next day.

Qiuxiang waited on Zhuang Jingyi to freshen up, and then she left Yongyibo's mansion and went to Anjun Wang's mansion.

Zhuang Jingyi took the little maid to Xu's yard.

Mrs. Xu was arranging Zhuang Jingyi's dowry. When she saw Zhuang Jingyi coming in, she hurriedly greeted her: "Miss Yi, come and have a look at this, do you like it?"

Zhuang Jingyi walked over and saw that Mrs. Xu was arranging the cloth, she couldn't help but grinned: "Auntie, what are you preparing for so much cloth? I went to the Prince's Mansion of Anjun, and there are no parents-in-law to be filial, and my sister-in-law and uncle have to take care of them in the afternoon, so I can only eat enough for one person." The whole family is full, these cloths are enough to last me a lifetime!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Mrs. Xu glared at Zhuang Jingyi, "I'm still worrying about not having enough cloth! An Junwang is the son of an official family. If you don't prepare more things, you will not even be able to reward others." Not enough!" Xu said while asking Mama Wu to write down what else to add.

Zhuang Jingyi dog-leggedly followed Xu Shi, looking at the boxes of items, she couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, the dowry of the ancients was really too extravagant!
"Sister Yi, come and take a look at this." Mrs. Xu took out a stack of slips, "This is the contract between Tianzhuang and Zhuangzi, the shop, take a look, but is it enough?"

Looking at the thick stack of lists, Zhuang Jingyi couldn't help but her eyes glistened: "Mother, these are all for me? Can you tell me where are these farms, villages and shops?"

Mrs. Xu handed the list to Zhuang Jingyi: "Look for yourself, if you don't understand anything, just ask me." Then, she handed the list to Zhuang Jingyi, "I prepared a companion house for you, it was your grandmother who gave it to me. Yes, I gave them to you today, so I can look at the dowry for you."

Xu said, and sighed: "At that time, your ancestors will definitely prepare a companion room for you..."

"She likes to give it, so just give it." Zhuang Jingyi shrugged indifferently, and continued to look at the list in her hand, "Whether it is necessary or not is my business, maybe she can still rush to Anjun Palace and force me to use the money she gave me. Accompanying room?"

Mrs. Xu raised her head and glanced at Zhuang Jingyi, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she nodded and said: "You are right, don't be stubborn when facing grandma, the good days are coming now, there is no need to let everyone angry."

Zhuang Jingyi nodded: "Mother, I see." As she spoke, she pointed at Shanzi, "Mother, how come this shop, Tianzhuang and Zhuangzi are all from the capital?"

Xu said: "It's all in the capital, you can take care of it, if it's a long way..."

"Aniang, can you exchange some of the Zhuangzi and Tianzhuang in the capital to other places?" Zhuang Jingyi stood up, stretched out her hand and shook Xu's sleeve, "Aniang, okay? I'll be bored by then, It’s good to go around.”

Xu gritted her teeth, and poked Zhuang Jingyi's forehead hard with a look of resentment: "You are so ignorant!"

"Auntie..." Zhuang Jingyi salivated and smiled, Xu shook her head helplessly, and was about to speak, but saw Zijuan come in with the curtain lifted, "Madam Ann."

"Sister Zijuan." Zhuang Jingyi let go of Mrs. Xu, turned around and walked in front of Zijuan, "Come and see, what is missing from my dowry?"

"Still messing around!" Mrs. Xu gave Zhuang Jingyi a hard look, "Zicuckoo, but mother has orders?"

"If you want to meet the lady, the old lady will ask the servant to invite the girl." Zijuan said, and gently bent her knees.

"Grandmother looking for me?" Zhuang Jingyi pointed to her nose, "Sister Zijuan, do you know why grandma is looking for me?"

Zijuan shook her head lightly, and said with a smile: "I don't know, the old lady ordered my servant to come and deliver a message." Zijuan said with a smile.

"I'll go with you." Mrs. Xu said, put down the booklet in her hand, and was about to call for someone to come over to wash her up, when Zijuan bowed her knees towards Mrs. Xu, "Madam, old lady, please go alone."

"This..." Mrs. Xu hesitated, and Zhuang Jingyi smiled, "Don't worry, Auntie, grandma won't make things difficult for me. I'll go over and listen to grandma's orders."

"Young lady was joking. Recently, the old lady has been praising her without words. How could she embarrass her!" Zijuan flattered her with a smile.

"Sister Zijuan said, let's go." Zhuang Jingyi bowed her knees and bid farewell to Mrs. Xu, and followed Zijuan towards the old lady's yard.

The two of them went out of the yard, went up to the verandah, turned around a door with hanging flowers, and walked up a small path.

"Sister Zijuan, why is grandma looking for me?" Zhuang Jingyi pretended not to ask.
