married daughter

Chapter 168
"Yesterday was your birthday. I wanted to come here first, but I heard that you and Brother Lan went to the old lady's place in the morning, and you were not in the mansion in the afternoon, so you didn't come." Xu Ninghui said, taking out the Two sachets, one powder and one blue, handed them to Ruan Yunting with a smile, "This is made by my mother, and the incense inside is made by her herself. It's a small gift, just a heartfelt gift. Please don't dislike it, sister Ruan." .”

"How could it be?" Ruan Yunting was very grateful in her heart, Aunt Xiang missed them so much, she also gave them a sachet on their birthday last year, and it is the same today, it can be seen that she is a loyal and long-lasting person.Xu Ninghui was calm and steady in her work, she liked it very much, but after she went to the academy, Xu Ninghui was not among the girls who were drafted and trained, so the contact between the two gradually decreased.

Ruan Yunting looked at the sachet in her hand, handed the blue one to Ruan Yunlan, then looked at her own pink one, but found something strange.

The two sachets were not made by one person.

But Ruan Yunting didn't think too much about it, she just thought that Aunt Xiang was too busy to find someone to do it, the gift was originally a wish, so don't take it too seriously.

Xu Ninghui looked at Ruan Yunlan and then at Ruan Yunting, seeing that they hadn't noticed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and stuffed the blue sachet back into it with her left hand hidden in her sleeve.

"Sister, look at the pear blossoms on the sachet. My mother said that this kind of flower is the most suitable for girls, clean and elegant."

Ruan Yunting was the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Xu Ninghui was a little shy, although she didn't understand why, she didn't make things difficult for her, so she followed her words and chatted with him for a while.

The three of them were chatting happily in the Jingsi Garden when the little girl at the door suddenly ran in panting:
"Girl, girl!"

"What's the matter? In a panic."

"The imperial decree came ahead. The third master and the second master have set up an incense table in the outer courtyard to receive the decree. The old lady ordered the girl to go there immediately."

"Understood." Ruan Yunting's complexion remained unchanged, and she stood up slowly.The last time I received an order, I sent her to the Trial Court to push for a one-year memorial. Could it be that the people of the Lu family still haven't vented their anger and thought of a new way to torture him?Or did the Lu family have new tricks after seeing Concubine Lu in the palace that day?

In any case, things have happened and can only be faced.

Ruan Yunting, Ruan Yunlan, and Xu Ninghui rushed to the front yard together, thinking wildly along the way, without any good thoughts at all.

But who knows, the imperial decree has nothing to do with Ruan Yunting, it is to praise the second master Xu Xingbang for winning the first battle at the border.Among them, he praised Xu's loyal family, Xu Chengfeng's bravery in killing the enemy, and his reputation as a general was well-deserved, and he rewarded a hundred taels of gold with a plaque on one side to show his commendation.This is simply an honor for the Xu family.

The old lady and the third master accepted the order, and even the pores on their bodies wanted to breathe happily.

Just about to get up, the eunuch stopped him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Madam Xu, Mr. Xu will be here later, there is another edict to be read."

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly knelt and straightened.

"By heaven's blessing, the emperor summoned and said, I heard that the wife of Secretary Cheng Xu Xing's family, Junshi Liyuan, is gentle and quiet, and has a gentle and gentle personality. The queen mother and I are very happy to hear that, and I am specially appointed as a fifth-rank man, and I will give you a hundred taels of silver. The salty emissary heard it, and admired it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En." Everyone was busy chatting, and in the shock, the old lady straightened up and explained to the eunuch Xuanzhi: "This father-in-law, Mrs. Jun is currently at her mother's house and has something to do. If you can't take the order immediately, please The father-in-law went to the front hall to serve tea, sat for a while, and the old man immediately sent someone to invite him."

"Mrs. Xu is polite. Our family will naturally wait."

The old lady stood up, hurriedly pulled the third master who was still in shock and didn't recover, and said in a low voice: "Or order someone to bring Mrs. Jun back!"

The third master nodded: "Yes, my son knows."

The old lady led the crowd with a smile on her face, and led the father-in-law all the way to Rongzhi Hall.In fact, I was already very angry.

She understood that what happened today must have been caused by Mrs. Jun's hands and feet. Just now, the imperial decree mentioned "The Queen Mother and I are very happy to hear about it". No one knows that Mrs. Jun and the current Queen Mother were close friends in the boudoir when they were young ?
It must be that the third wife was reprimanded and returned to Jun's house. Mrs. Jun was partial to her daughter and didn't know how to teach. As for the old lady, since the third wife was kicked out, they must find a way to let Xu's family go to Jun's house to invite him back.

She originally thought that Mrs. Jun would find a way to get people from the Xu family to invite the third wife back, but she didn't expect that even the empress dowager would be involved in this matter.

The fifth grade is pleasant?A random title is nothing more than an open-mouthed matter for the royal family, but it is a great honor for the Jun family. If the Jun family returns to the mansion this time, won't it be even more lawless? !

The atmosphere in Rongzhi Hall is harmonious.The old lady has a noble status, the second master Xu Chengxuan and the third master Xu Xing's family are also sitting and accompanying, girls and boys are standing behind the old lady.

About three quarters of an hour, Thrush came in hurriedly from outside.First saluted, then made do with the old lady, whispered:
"Old ancestor, the third wife refuses to come back."

The old lady's face immediately became ugly.She never thought that the third wife would be so ungrateful.But there must be a smile, she still smiled: "What does the third wife say?"

Huamei glanced at Ruan Yunting who was the closest behind the old lady, and whispered in a low voice: "The third wife said that unless Miss Ruan invites her back in person, no one will be able to go."

Huamei lowered her voice for these words, no one else could hear them, and even a normal person would not be able to hear clearly from this distance.It's a pity that standing behind the old lady was Ruan Yunting who had taken Xiuyan Pill.

Ruan Yunting never imagined that the third wife would hate her so much.

That's right, they had bumped head-to-head several times before. Since the day she entered school, the third wife deliberately soiled her uniform, the third wife and the eighth girl have never less criticized her, searched, framed, and directly kicked out... ...All kinds of methods are really exhausting, so that Ruan Yunting can hardly remember the love between mother and child in the previous life.

But after all, that was also the person she called her mother for a long time in her previous life.The reality is cruel, even if she tries her best now, the third wife will not treat her well.

Now, she just wants to see what the old lady has to say.

Regardless of whether the old lady agrees or not, she must go to Jun's house, and it is obvious that she will be humiliated if she goes, and she will come back naturally after she has vented her anger on the third wife.

The question is whether the old lady will be willing to let her suffer this grievance.In fact, if she is an old lady, she has many ways to deal with her arrogant daughter-in-law.First, you can use your mother-in-law's identity to pressure her, saying "If you don't come back, you don't have to come back", just send a divorce letter to her, and if it doesn't work, you can use your mother-in-law's identity to go there in person, I don't believe that the Jun family will be ungrateful.

Ruan Yunting just thought of this, but the old lady stood up and said loudly: "Since Mrs. Jun asked Ting'er to invite her, then Ting'er, you can go."

Ruan Yunting's heart fell to the bottom of the valley in an instant, and she was completely cold.

The bright eyes of the water gave the old lady a deep look, yes, in the face of family interests, no matter how the old lady treats her, she will be the one who will be sacrificed when something happens.Knowing that she would be humiliated if she went, I still told her to go...

"Yes, old ancestor, Ting'er will go right away."

How could she have any other way, no matter whether the old lady nodded or shook her head today, she would go there, but it was also to be humiliated, and the moods of the two before and after were completely different.

The old lady felt bitter at Ruan Yunting's slightly sad glance, but she had no choice but to do it, this matter was related to the Xu family's honor.The father-in-law who passed the decree is still waiting here. If the Jun family is really stubborn and does not come back, and the disturbing father-in-law fails to pass the decree, and then spread it outside, what will be the face of the Xu family?If the emperor blamed him for this, they couldn't afford to walk around.

So the easiest way is to follow the third wife's wishes for the time being, and wait for the matter to subside before discussing it later.Ting'er is destined to be wronged once for the family.

Ruan Yunting left Rongzhi Hall in the eyes of everyone, and left the front yard wearing a blue satin cloak, went straight to the west gate, boarded the carriage that the old lady had just ordered to be prepared, and went all the way to the Junfu .

Seeing Jun Da's open door, and looking at the familiar environment in winter, Ruan Yunting felt a little convulsive in her heart. If she could, she would never want to step in here, because everything in this mansion gate, Bring back bad memories for her.

After entering Jun's house, boarded the sedan chair, trembled and walked for a while, and then arrived at the main hall.

At this moment in the main hall, apart from the third wife sitting in the middle wearing a bright red brocade beanie, with a radiant face, and Chang's mother beside her, there was no one else in the room.

Ruan Yunting asked Chanjuan who was accompanying her to wait outside the door, entered the room with a sigh, and went forward to salute: "Ting'er is ordered by the old lady, and respectfully invites the third wife to return home."

The third wife raised her exquisitely drawn eyebrows, and looked at Ruan Yunting mockingly: "Tsk tsk, I don't dare, how dare I bother Miss Ruan to invite her in person."

"The third wife was joking. You are the elder, and Ting'er is the junior. It is only natural for the junior to invite the elder."

"Elder, junior, it's rare that you can tell the difference clearly." The third wife stood up, walked slowly towards Ruan Yunting, looked at her drooping head for a while, then suddenly raised her right hand, and slapped her hard.

There was only a crisp slap in the air, Ruan Yunting's face was turned to one side, and the five fingers on the left cheek gave the impression that a red lotus was blooming.

"Let you also know what will happen to the juniors who disrespect the elders!" The third wife said harshly, and the other hand went over and slapped again.

Ruan Yunting's right cheek also immediately swelled up.

"girl!"

The door was open, and Chanjuan could naturally see what was going on inside from the door.Seeing that the third wife slapped Ruan Yunting twice, she was eager to protect her master and wanted to rush inside.

The third wife saw it clearly, and gave Chang's mother a wink beside her.Chang's mother understood, and when she reached the door, she called someone to hold Chanjuan, covered her mouth to keep from screaming, and went back to the room, closing the double carved wooden doors tightly.
