Chapter 8

"By the way, the clothes you were holding just now are more exquisitely made than the sisters-in-law next to me, but who do you want to make them for?"

After Ming Yu finished asking, she paid close attention to her expression.Sure enough, seeing her complexion changed slightly, she probably knew it in her heart.

Du Ruoqiu is older than Ming Yu by six full years, but for some reason, standing in front of this ten-year-old girl from the Ruan family, she always feels that she seems to be older than herself. Feeling so indescribable, he didn't dare to look at her, lowered his head and was speechless.

Although the Ruan family doesn't have many rules like the official family, the head of the family has always been lenient to his servants, and he doesn't allow things that are only given and received privately.Just now, although Ming Yu just flipped the shirt casually, she could only see that it was made for young men, and Du Ruoqiu had never heard of a brother in her family.

"Your father compiles books from the treasure house at my house, but it's for your father?"

Ming Yu said again.

Du Ruoqiu was a little flustered, but was awakened by these words, and hurriedly nodded.

Ming Yu smiled, and saw that her face was blushing slightly, knowing that it was almost time, she said, "Your father sent you into my house, but my mother left you behind. If you are smart, you must know the reason Isn’t it? This is really a beautiful thing, so many people can’t wait for it.”

The blush on Du Ruoqiu's face just faded away, her face turned pale, her eyes were fixed on Ming Yu, and she couldn't say a word.

"I don't know what's on your mind..." Ming Yu smiled and said casually without seeing her.

"My mother was ill, and all the valuables in the family were sold to buy medicine. When she passed away, my father sold two thatched huts in the family to bury her, and he owed the debt. My relatives avoided it. If Master Ruan hadn't taken in my father and daughter Man, I don't know where I'm going now. My wife thinks highly of me now, that's just flattering me, and I don't have any thoughts of my own."

Du Ruoqiu clenched her hands tightly and said in a low voice after a while.

"I happen to be short of someone there. You are good at sewing. If I ask you to come to my place, will you go?"

Ming Yu said leisurely.She had already figured out that Du Ruoqiu was already interested in seven out of ten, so she didn't have the idea of ​​flying to a high branch.In fact, even if she wanted to be her father's concubine, Ming Yu would definitely find a way to prevent it from happening.That's the best way to be happy.Sure enough, when Du Ruoqiu heard the words, his eyes lit up, he suddenly raised his head to look at Ming Yu, his mouth opened slightly, and his expression was slightly joyful.If she was favored by the eldest girl of the Ruan family and went to her garden, how could there be any reason to want the girl next to her daughter to be her father's concubine?
"If you don't want to, then forget it..."

Ming Yu stood up, brushed the corner of her skirt, and tried to leave.

"I'm willing, I'm willing." Du Ruoqiu hastily grabbed the hem of her clothes, and knelt down with a plop, "Young lady's kindness, I will definitely repay you as a cow and a horse."

Only then did Ming Yu call her up with a smile, nodded and said, "Don't worry, once you get to my place, I will make decisions for you in the future."

The two of them were talking here, at this moment Jiang asked the old lady how she was from the Suixi Garden, and was escorted out by Mother Rong.

Seeing Mama Rong winking, Jiang knew that she had something to say, so she went out of the garden gate and told Gu Xiang to stop, and she and Mama Rong walked a few steps, Mama Rong turned her head and saw that there were no girls from Suixi Garden on either side. Then he said in a low voice: "Madam, so that you know. The old lady called Dongmei who was in front of her yesterday, and the two of them locked themselves in the room. I listened carefully outside the door, and vaguely seemed to hear the mention of the old man. , What's so 'easy to serve', when Dongmei's hoof came out, I saw peach blossoms flying all over her face."

Jiang's heart skipped a beat. Knowing that the old lady was recovering, she finally couldn't bear to cram someone into her own room. Suppressing her upset, she let out a hum, and casually took off the gold silk bracelet on her wrist. Handed it over, Rong's mother rejected it a few times, then took it, and went away with a thankful smile.

Jiang shi thought all the way back to her own room, but heard from Xue Nan that the eldest girl had been here for a while.Gathering up her mood, she looked up and saw Ming Yu had already lifted the curtain and came out to welcome her.Jiang Shi held her hand and went in together, asked a few words, Ming Yu said: "Mother, my daughter came here because she wants to come to me alone."

Jiang smiled and said, "Who do you fancy?"

"It's Du Ruoqiu in the embroidery room," Ming Yu finished speaking, she was startled when she saw Mrs. Jiang, pretended not to see her, and continued, "Didn't mother usually tell me to practice female reds more? I heard that Du Ruoqiu My mother used to be a first-class expert in the embroidery workshop outside, but her eyes were broken later, so she lost her livelihood. I met today, and her stitching skills are no worse than the instructors my mother invited before. My daughter likes it very much , That's why I want to take her here, and bring a group of girls in my garden with me."

Jiang shi hesitated for a while, unable to speak for a while.If it was an ordinary person, she would have accepted ten.It's just that Du Ruoqiu was the one she had seen for a long time. At this juncture, if her daughter wanted to go...

"Could it be that Mother has also taken a fancy to her? Mother shouldn't argue with her daughter, just let her."

Ming Yu pretended not to know, grabbed Jiang's hand, twisted her body and acted like a baby, even she felt a little chilly.

Jiang shi pondered for a while, and suddenly had another calculation in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's fine. There is no reason for parents to argue with their daughters. Since you have taken a fancy to her, it is also her good fortune to tell her to come to you in the future." It's in the yard."

Ming Yu thought she would have to spend some more time talking, but she didn't expect Jiang to agree so quickly. It was a surprise, so she thanked her immediately.When he got up to leave, he couldn't help but put his arms around Jiang's waist, raised his head and said with a smile: "Mother, my dream must come true, my brother may already be in mother's womb by now."

Although Jiang's heart was a little troubled by the news just now, seeing her daughter being so caring, she was also moved, stroked her forehead and laughed, "Okay, okay, mother will believe in your auspicious dreams."

Ruan Hongtian came back from a social event today, a little earlier than usual, and it was only in the middle of the day.Seeing that he smelled of alcohol, Jiang pushed him to take a bath.After changing clothes, he looked up and saw his wife's raven temples and black eyebrows, her cherry lips were slightly puffed up, and she was charmingly illuminated by the light, so she took advantage of the wine and picked her up and put her on the bed.

If it was this time normally, Jiang would definitely be too early and would push back, but today is not like usual, he just let him go with a little annoyance.

A few years ago, when she went out with Ruan Hongtian for a stay, she saw a nunnery, so she went in to donate incense and make a wish for a child.The aunt inside secretly gave a secret recipe, and Jiang came back to study it, only to find out that it was about the maintenance methods of the women's Xuanpu, all of which were taught secret recipes for smooth skin and virgin appearance.Jiang was embarrassed at the beginning, and wanted to destroy it quietly, but after all, the woman couldn't match her curiosity, so she followed it secretly, and after a few years, she did feel that it was effective.Now, with Zhang Yurun's peach-blossom face and soft boneless body, coupled with the deliberate pandering, Ruan Hongtian only felt ecstasy, after a lot of tossing, when he calmed down, he felt a chill on his shoulders, and looked down, and only then did he see her He was weeping silently on his own, and hurriedly turned over and hugged him to ask why.Jiang didn't say anything at first, but when he saw that he was asking a little harshly, she said sullenly: "Although Mother hasn't mentioned it yet, I can see that she probably wants to open the face of Dongmei, who has been serving her for many years. You are a concubine, so you can spread your branches and leaves. Naturally, I have nothing to say, but when I think of you hugging other women like this in the future, I feel sad..."

As he said that, another string of tears rolled down, and against the blush on his cheeks after the passionate love just now, it was extraordinarily sad and moving.

Only then did Ruan Hongtian realize that she had eaten vinegar, and he felt sorry for her, but also a little proud, and hurriedly reached out to wipe her tears, and hugged her tighter, then leaned close to her ear and whispered: " Didn't I tell you last time that I will take you out to pray to Buddha when I am free in a while. After leaving here, you will feel relieved, and you may have it. That Dongmei has served your mother for many years, and your mother is young. She will definitely not be used to it. Mother doesn't mention it, if she mentions it, you don't have to say anything, I will go back."

Jiang felt a little more at ease, but thought that if she was really destined to be childless, she would be fine now, and in a few years, let alone whether her husband would still think so, even if she couldn't pass this test, she suppressed the sadness in her heart and sighed slightly In a calm tone, he said: "Do you know the daughter of Du Xiucai's family in Congzhen Hall?"

"Which one?"

"When you were at home, I sent the girl who had been there several times to deliver refreshments to your study."

Seeing that Ruan Hongtian was puzzled, Jiang mentioned it.

Ruan Hongtian thought for a while, and then said: "I seem to have some impressions, walking with eyes on the ground."

Jiang shi leaned against him, and slowly said: "I originally took a fancy to her. Not only is she handsome, but she also has a quiet temperament and can read. I wanted to mention it to you a few days ago, but I was caught My mother's business was delayed. I don't want Yu girl to tell me today that she has taken a fancy to her and asked for her. It's rare for my daughter to ask for something, and I can't help her. It's just that you are delayed again. Although it's just A concubine, as long as the talent and appearance are passable, I will not be wronged you, if you can wait, I will find someone slowly."

Ruan Hongtian laughed: "It's just a girl. Ayu fell in love with it. Just give it to her. Tell me what to do so much. Back then, I admired your name and went to your house with my father to ask for marriage three times. I remember that there was another An official family also begged. After I agreed, I would never take another concubine again, so you got into my sedan chair aggrieved. Although I am full of copper stink, I can weigh the scales only by speaking. If you want me to say, don't think about these useless things all day long and stress your mind for no reason, you should relax your mind earlier."

Only then did Jiang settle down in his heart, knowing that as long as he can have a son, there will most likely not be any changes in her husband's place.All the men said so, if she behaved like that again, I was afraid that she would be unhappy instead, so she hummed, stretched her arms and hugged his neck, and whispered in the brocade tent, with tenderness like water.
