The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 216
The old lady entered Ganmi's yard nervously, and the little bookboy stood outside the door. Seeing the panicked appearance of the old lady, she hurriedly stopped her: "Didn't you tell mom? The young master is studying hard now, and can't bear the slightest disturbance. What do you want?" If you need anything, go to the eldest young mistress."

The old lady smiled wryly: "My brother, you don't even ask what's the matter. If you want to do something else, I might as well disturb the young master! It's Mrs. Xing from Fengwei Hutong who brought the young lady here!"

The little book boy was funny, and he didn't want to ask the old lady to go in: "Why is Mom getting more and more confused, you should go to the young lady for this kind of thing."

"You don't have to scold me, or think that I may not be able to do things well." The old lady snorted: "The eldest young mistress is recuperating now, and the lady in charge of the front yard disturbed her yesterday because of a trivial matter, and she had a serious meal. I'm too embarrassed to go out! What am I? If I was scolded by the young lady, I would be ashamed of my old face. Besides, Mrs. Xing asked me to meet Young Master Mi by name, and I was so angry just now. Are you here? Lori is blocking it here, just in case you cause trouble to Young Master Mi."

The little book boy quickly put a smile on his face, and while holding the old lady who was about to leave, he said kindly: "Mom, don't be as knowledgeable as me, I'll tell you about it!" Leaving, hurriedly beckoned to a few little girls: "Bring a futon for mom, and pour a cup of good tea for mom to moisten her throat."

The little book boy is very prestigious here, as soon as he gave the order, the little maids hurriedly gathered together, some brought tea and water, and some brought fruit and cakes.The little book boy entered the study, and seeing his young master writing big characters with his wrist hanging, he stood at the door several times hesitating to speak.

Talking Gan Mi just came to a piece of "Ji Shi Tie". When he was looking at it carefully, he suddenly saw a dark shadow at the door. ?”

The little book boy trotted, and whispered a few words in Gan Mi's ear.Gan Mi's complexion changed drastically, and he quickly put the wolf hair in his hand on the pen holder, "Confused, why didn't you come to understand me about such a big matter!"

The little book boy saw Gan Mi lift his foot and left, and hurriedly chased after him: "The words sent by the eldest aunt, how dare the little one disturb the young master's review!"

Gan Mi hit the little bookboy on the forehead with a big chestnut: "Stupid thing, can Mrs. Xing be the same as others? It's too late for us to respect the Xing family, but you're lucky to be here to cause trouble for me." The little bookboy's face was pale, and he asked tentatively : "Master. I see that the wife of the Xing family is very shrewd. She won't be aware of our family's affairs, right?"

Gan Mi suddenly stopped, and the little book boy couldn't dodge in time, and bumped into Gan Mi's back abruptly, a large piece of his nose collapsed in an instant, and he felt his nose and eyes turning sore.

"Master!"

The little book boy hurried and finally caught up with his young master in the guest house.Before the kid could catch his breath, Gan Mi strode in early.

At that time, Mrs. Lu drank two bowls of tea but did not see the young lady come out to see her. She called Xiuyan quietly: "Don't you want to regret the marriage?" nor.

Xiuyan smiled: "Mom, don't guess nonsense, the Gan family doesn't have the guts to turn against us. I think it's mostly an internal dispute within their family, but that's fine, Gan Mi is disheartened, and he would definitely prefer to be with us. Walk around. Mom treats him like half a son, even a hard-hearted person will be moved, let alone Gan Mi is not that kind of person!"

Outside the door, Gan Mi heard Xing Xiuyan's words clearly. He was still hesitant to avoid this elder sister, but now he heard the other party's sincere words, and Gan Mi lifted the corner of his clothes: "Junior Gan Mi, Mrs. Please be safe."

Mrs. Lu hurried over to help him, smiling: "Good boy, it's been hard for you these few days." Mrs. Lu kept looking at Ganmi from top to bottom, and found that the other party was in good spirits, full of energy, and didn't look listless, so he couldn't help but Give up half of your heart.

Gan Mi felt ashamed, and his face showed a bit of embarrassment: "Nowadays, the house is in disarray, and there is no decent person to entertain the wife, the younger generation feels..."

"Hey, what does the family talk about?" Lu said with a smile: "People in your family say that the eldest and youngest mistress is sick, but is it serious?"

"My wife is Miss Lin's mother, and naturally she is also my mother. There are many things that are difficult to say in front of others, but there is no need to hide it from my wife." Gan Mi recounted the changes in the family after the fourth uncle came: "Fourth uncle's official position It’s not high, but it costs a lot. When we first came to Beijing, the old man asked his sister-in-law to manage all the expenses in the mansion. Who would have thought that the fourth uncle would ask the fourth aunt to steal this job, and said that the old lady gave the order herself. The sister-in-law Although she is older, but her seniority is a bit shorter, she doesn't want to fight with Sifang, so she says she won't be sick. I will go back to my hometown in Jining after my marriage is over."

Mrs. Lu defended him: "It turns out that's the case, then I have to have a good talk with the eldest young mistress, is it possible that this will not even take care of your marriage?"

Xiuyan stood behind Lu Shi and looked at Qianmi with a smile: "Let me ask you, what's in your mind? The meaning of my aunt is to ask you to buy a house and build a mansion to get married!"

Gan Mi only felt his face was burning, and he didn't dare to look at the elder sister, so he said honestly: "I still have some money in my hands these years, and my mother has left me a little money, and my uncle is willing to subsidize a little bit." .Although housing prices in Beijing are ridiculously high, I will never lose money to Miss Lin. It is not a problem to buy a small courtyard with two entrances and two exits."

Xiuyan deliberately sneered: "How many rooms can there be? There are more than a dozen rooms at a time, and even my sister's maid can't fit in. Although she is not the daughter of a wealthy gentry, let alone a lady from a royal relative's family, she has been I haven't suffered at all, but you can bear it, but I can't bear it."

Just as Lushi was about to speak, Xiuyan pressed down on her mother's body that was about to jump up.

Gan Mi was ashamed, but after thinking for a while, he raised his head and looked at Xing Xiuyan without any distractions: "What the elder sister taught me is that I know I have wronged Miss Lin, but please don't worry, my wife and elder sister, within five years, I will definitely Tell Miss Lin not to suffer such grievances again."

There was a smile in the eyes of Lu Shi and Xiuyan, and Lu Shi hurriedly said: "Don't listen to your eldest sister, she has a sharp mouth and a heart, so she has already prepared a house for you."

Gan Mi looked at Lu Shi in a daze, and Xiu Yan snorted softly: "What, is it embarrassing? Or do you disdain our Xing family's things in your heart?"

Gan Mi hurriedly waved his hands: "Elder sister misunderstood, I just want to ask if Miss Lin knows about this?"

Lu said with a smile: "That girl doesn't mean to wait for you?"

Gan Mi is not hypocritical, and nodded casually: "This is the kindness of my wife and eldest sister. If I refuse, it will appear that I don't know what is good. I will accept the house, but please write a note, how much will this house cost? Three years Later, I will provide you with the original number."

Xiuyan nodded inwardly, although she was proud, she was not a pedantic guy, she knew when to bow her head, and knew what it meant to advance and retreat with restraint.Presumably such a temper will not cause Daiyu to suffer in the future.

The two sides discussed the matter of the house. At this moment, Gan Mi thought that the house given by the Xing family was a three-in, three-out house, so he thought that he could pay off the debt in three years.Seeing that he didn't ask, Mrs. Lu didn't say anything, but said: "You should discuss this with your sister-in-law first, and after the palace examination is re-opened, you hurry up and pack up there and move there. It can also be regarded as a great joy in the capital."

The so-called three blessings come to the door, the first is to move to a new home, the second is to be named on the gold list, and the third is to tie a happy marriage.

There are three proud things in life, Ganmi is a lucky person.

It was almost noon when we came out of the Qianfu.Seeing restaurants of all kinds lined up on the street, Mrs. Lu thought that it was rare for her mother and daughter to go out for a stroll, so she asked the housekeeper to take them to the largest restaurant in the capital.After walking to Zhuque Street, Xiuyan suddenly saw a familiar figure through the half-opened curtain.

"Look, Mom, is that the Jia family's carriage?"

Mrs. Lu looked intently: "It's Mrs. Xing? The one next to her is Aunt Li's? How could they get together?" As Mrs. Lu saw, Mrs. Xing was holding Aunt Li's arms affectionately, Behind the two are sisters Coco Li and Li Qi.The four of them entered a shop surrounded by several maidservants.

The housekeeper found out after a while that it was a makeup shop, which was also very famous in the capital.

Xiuyan smiled and said: "According to my observation, Aunt Li dislikes Mrs. Xing's pettiness and Mrs. Wang's condescending appearance, so they have not been on good terms in the Jia family for a year. As for the two of them walking together at this moment The reasons are nothing more than the following." Xiuyan pointed to a group of people getting off the sedan chair in the distance, Mrs. Xing's companion, Wang Shanbao's family, led the way for the woman getting off the sedan chair with a look of hospitality.

Because of the distance, Lu Shi and Xiuyan didn't see clearly who was getting off the sedan chair at first, but when the other party suddenly turned around to call out to the servant girl, that pale face suddenly came into view.

"Why is it her?" The mother and daughter looked at each other in surprise.

After getting off the sedan chair, I knew someone!
Princess Fu!
How did Mrs. Xing get on the line of Princess Fu?Moreover, Princess Fu didn't go out in costumes, could it be that she was still covering her eyes?

Xiuyan called the housekeeper, "Call a clever girl to go in and buy makeup, and see what Mrs. Xing is doing." The housekeeper sent a rude little maid, stuffed her with 20 taels of silver, and sent her in to buy things.Fearing that the people in Prince Fu's Mansion would suspect them, the Xing family parked their carriage in a small alley, and a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the powder shop without blinking.

Not long after, the little maid came back in a hurry, and she half-kneeled on the shaft to report softly: "They entered the backyard, but the shopkeeper stopped me. The servants were afraid of revealing their identities and causing trouble for the wife and the girl, so they didn't dare to go in." But the shopkeeper said that Mrs. Xing had been here before, and paid a lot of money to reserve a wing in the backyard."

Mrs. Xing is a standard penny-pinching iron rooster, it would be strange if she had no plans.

Lu Shi didn't want to get involved, so she wanted to ask the housekeeper to set off, but Xiuyan looked thoughtfully at the appearance of the car in Prince Fu's residence.
