Chapter 3 Benefits First
"I'm just waiting for my third sister-in-law." Ruan Ruyi said awkwardly. Although she was a concubine's daughter of Gaoyang Palace, at least she was also from a famous family. If her mother-in-law Tang had not asked her to do so, she would not have lowered her body to beg a common daughter of the lieutenant's mansion.
"It's still for the shops in the east of the city," Ruan Ruyi said worriedly, "third brother-in-law, you also know that now the third brother is promising, but your eldest brother still needs to pay for some everywhere because of his official position. Since this needs to be paid, it naturally requires money, and my dowry is not as rich as your third brother-in-in-law. Since the mother's concubine gave you three shops, it must not be difficult to even out. After all, Chang'an Changxi is his own brother. If Chang's official position is determined, he can also help Changxi, the third sister-in-law, in the court. Do you think that's the reason?"
After all, it's just for the sake of profit. Qin Yunuan smiled and said very politely, "My sister-in-law's words are really pleasant to listen to. It's completely different from what people outside said. She said that she is not the eldest son of Princess Ning or the young grandmother of Ning's Mansion. Anyway, I don't believe it, but as for what my sister-in-law said, this is Yu Nuan can't say anything about the mother's concubine's appointment. If the sister-in-law really wants to prepare for the eldest brother's official career, she will make up for the eldest brother at the time of Qiu Yan. Yu Nuan will also go to the temple to pray for the eldest brother and hope that the eldest brother will go to high school.
Qin Yunuan said a few words and choke Ruyi so much that she couldn't say a word. You said that the young master of Ning's mansion and the third young master have a deep friendship, so I exposed the fact that you were chewing your tongue behind your back. You said that you wanted Leng Changxi to be an official for Leng Chang'an, so I advised you to take the imperial examination directly. You want a shop. Yes, this is Princess Ning Order, if you have the courage, you can ask Princess Ning for the shop.
"Why do the three brothers and sisters have to speak so well?" Ruan Ruyi's tone was much gloomy, but there was still room for negotiation.
"My sister-in-law is more careful," Qin Yunuan smiled and said, "Yu Nuan only got married on the first day. How dare she be angry with her sister-in-law? Because she is also a new woman, she doesn't know much about many things. Naturally, she has to listen to her mother's words. How dares to disobey her mother's intentions?"
Ruan Ruyi's eyes picked up, and her tone immediately became cold, and her tone was much stiffer: "Since the third sister-in-law refused to help, I will not beg for it with a shy face. Although our sister-in-law can't be like sisters, we have to get along well. Your days in the house are short, and you will naturally know what to do in the future."
Ruan Ruyi thought in her heart that after the three siblings knew about Leng Changxi's illegitimate son, she might take the initiative to ask her for help. If the bloodline is not pure, the bloodline is impure. Even if Princess Ning is Leng Changxi's biological, she can't change this iron fact.
Qin Yunuan just smiled, turned around and shouted to listen to Xue follow, and went back to the yard along the original road.
Ruan Ruyi looked at Qin Yunuan's back and slowly leaving without panic, but she was full of grievances. When she was in Gaoyang Palace, she was extremely inferior because her concubine's daughter was not favored. Later, because her little sister died of illness, the person who married into Ning Palace temporarily changed to her, thinking that she could raise her in the future. I was angry. Who knows, this Ning Palace pays more attention to the rules than Gaoyang Palace. Although it is a county magistrate of seven grades, it doesn't make any good.
Although Leng Chang'an is the eldest son, he is a concubine after all. Leng Chang's biological mother has been living in the Ning Palace for so many years. She is not even a wife. This is simply a fire pit into another.
"I'm so angry," Ruan Ruyi pulled the veil and said fiercely. Fortunately, she still waited for Qin Yunuan for a long time. She thought that Qin Yunuan was born as a concubine like herself. She should be empathetic and easy to talk. "She's just a concubine's daughter in the lieutenant's mansion. What a five-grade princess, what It's okay to pray for the Empress Dowager's blessing. She casually changed her person and went to the royal temple to kneel down. It's okay to worship her. How can it be cheaper for her?
Before Ruan Ruyi's complaint was fully finished, Ma Shi, the nursing mother beside her, quickly pulled her hand.
"Don't say that," Mother Ma looked at it in private and made sure that there was no talent. "I got the news in the morning that the third young master spoiled the third young lady very much. Usually, he didn't smile. Now as long as the third young lady was in front of her, she smiled kindly. In addition, the maidservant I just heard..."
Mama Ma lay in Ruan Ruyi's ear and whispered for a while.
As soon as Ruan Ruyi heard this, her eyebrows immediately lit up, with an incredible surprise: "What? Did the mother give her the secondary key?
"That's right," Mother Ma nodded cautiously. "I heard that it was first to let the third young lady run the three shops in the east of the city for a period of time. If it runs well, she will start to let the third young grandmother learn to manage the accounts."
"Oh, I have to go back and tell my mother-in-law." Ruan Ruyi's heart was tight. You know, although Tang's status has not been improved over the years, Tang's mind is still extremely shrewd. He has hidden a lot of small vaults in his hand, and the most important source is to praise it from the account room with inferior or false accounting.
People say that Princess Ning is kind, in fact, because Princess Ning avoids this. Generally, she should pay as much as she wants. Although other courtyards are not as obvious and bold as what Tang did, they all of them have made, but Princess Ning doesn't check it does not mean that Qin Yunuan did not investigate after she began to manage the accounts. I heard that this is quite intelligent in terms of managing accounts for the third young lady's business. If this is really checked, it will probably be shaken away.
When Qin Yunuan returned to the yard, Leng Changxi had not come back from the court. For Leng Changxi, Emperor Si Ma Xiu gave him enough freedom. He didn't have to concentrate on military chores day by day. However, today is the first day of Leng Changxi's wedding, and the marriage between Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi was personally given by Sima Xiu. On the face, Leng Changxi still wants to thank him.
Luomei has put a cool mung bean soup on the table. As soon as Qin Yunuan entered the yard, he greeted him.
"Grandma, the cold girl just came back and said that the powder on the red cap's head had been identified. It seemed to be a strong aphrodisiac powder." The cold girl in Luomei's mouth is Leng Shuang. Although Leng Shuang is called a maidservant, her status is much higher than that of her maidservant, so Man'er listened to Xue and these little maids respectfully call her "Cold girl."
And Luomei is also a treasure. Qin Yunuan's daily aunt sent her to her yard a few days before her marriage. She said that the maid was from Aunt Chang's family. She was honest and loyal. The most important thing was that she knew a lot about pharmacological knowledge and had excellent medical skills. In order to thank Qin Yunuan for giving Aunt Chang some time ago The mother's family secretly helped, and Aunt Chang specially asked her family to come over. As an accompanying maid, she accompanied Qin Yunuan to the Ning Palace.
Qin Yunuan lowered her eyebrows and took a look at the heroic Luomei. She still believed in the character sent by Aunt Chang, but now several maids around her are meticulous and the most loyal. She listened to Xue's decisive advice, not to mention Leng Shuang, and she doesn't know what this Luomei's ability is, Jane In other words, everyone left by her must be valuable.
Qin Yunuan asked casually while sibling the mung bean soup, "I heard Aunt Chang say that you know a lot about medical skills. According to you, is this kind of aphrodisiac powder?"
There are also many kinds of aphrodisiac powder. If Qin Yunuan wants to return a tooth, she will naturally have to figure it out.
Luomei nodded slightly and said respectfully, "If the maidservant guessed correctly, it should be Beidi's Hehuan powder. This aphrodisiac powder is extremely effective and generally not easily used by people. It is used for breeding animals. According to the amount of medicine brought by the cold girl, if the third young lady did not find it in time at that time I'm afraid that the third young master and the third young grandmother are now dying because of excessive indulgence and may die at any time.
Tut, what a vicious and promiscuous technique. Qin Yunuan slightly restrained her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Qin Yun's makeup was bold enough to use this. Not only will it leave traces of harming her with this method, but also in the eyes of outsiders, it is only as Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan's greed. Maybe someone will point to Qin Yunuan secretly. He scolded that she was a fox charming son, ** Leng Changxi, this method of killing two birds with one stone, I'm afraid Qin Yun makeup alone can't come up with.
Yes, there must be Qin Linfeng's participation. It seems that Qin Yunuan's lesson last time was not enough.
"Yes, has the marriage between the eldest sister and the third prince been decided?"
"Well," Man'er replied, "it's the 19th of next month, and it's almost there."
"Okay," Qin Yunuan snorted coldly, "She worked so hard for my marriage, and we have to give her a big gift."
Leng Changxi came back at noon. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to put his arms around Qin Yunuan, who was embroidering, and his body seemed to smell of sweat.
"I miss you." Leng Changxi has always been so straightforward.
Qin Yunu smiled sweetly: "This is just half a day."
Leng Changxi just put more and more close to Qin Yunuan's neck and said in a domineering tone, "But I just miss you."
Qin Yunuan smiled and held Leng Changxi's sweaty face covered with a mask, and reached out to knead his temple softly and rhythmically for Leng Changxi: "Are you tired? Take a rest first and look at your sweat."
"I guess it's too urgent," Leng Changxi looked at Qin Yunuan with a smile and enjoyed such considerate care. He said again, "There are too many people on the street today. Oh, by the way, today is the day when the eldest prince Sima Ruo gets married to marry Princess Beidi Saichun."
Qin Yu warmed her hands. When she thought that Sima Ruo, a fairy-like figure, had finally become a political tool, she felt a little worthless for him.
"What's wrong?" Leng Changxi clearly noticed the change of Qin Yunuan.
"It's just a pity. If you can't live a lifetime with the person you like, you can only have a prevariant marriage, how painful it will be for the rest of your life."
Leng Changxi kissed Qin Yunuan's lips pitifully and whispered, "So, we are very happy."
