Chapter 59

Sister Xiang's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Isn't eldest sister afraid of being blamed by the master and wife? I heard that the master has lost his temper in the study."

In the study again?Rong Lanxue couldn't help laughing: "How often have I made the master angry? Not bad this time."

"You!" Sister Xiang didn't want her to be so thick-skinned, so she was at a loss for words.

Rong Lanxue chuckled lightly: "Besides, I'm not interested in the third son of the clan, so why bother to offend the third sister for a trivial matter, fifth sister, don't you think so?"

Sister Xiang got angry and said: "Madam has always been well informed. Sooner or later she will know about Third Sister. Do you think you can hide it?"

Rong Lanxue gave her a strange look, and said, "When did I say I was going to hide it? It's just that the master asked me to come over to tell me why the third son of Qingzong left the mansion, and he didn't ask the third sister. I didn't think about it for a while, no way. Is it?"

"You! You!" Sister Xiang became angry again, "You, treacherous!"

Rong Lanxue smiled: "There is no business without treachery, fifth sister, you are also the daughter of a merchant, why don't you understand this? Ah, let me guess, it is obviously the third sister who made the ugly, why don't you dare?" Go talk to your wife? Is it because you are afraid that she will blame you for not showing up in time to defend your sister when she saw that her sisters have lost their manners? You might as well be me. My sister is entangled."

Sister Xiang's face turned white and red, red and white again, she tightly pressed her lower lip and remained silent, Rong Lanxue thought to herself, it seems she guessed right.

This is what Rong Lanxue wanted, so she leaned closer to her ear and said, "Fifth Sister, since we have different goals and no conflict of interests, why don't we each get what we need? Go to your wife and tell us about the situation at that time." So what? What happened when I came out? The situation at that time was—the third younger sister grabbed the third son's arm and didn't let go. It further led to a big mistake. As for why the third son left the mansion, he must have been angered by the third sister at the time, but it was hard to explain clearly, so he had to claim that I was kicked out."

"You—" Sister Xiang swallowed the words "You want me to lie" into her stomach, thinking, saying this way, it seems that it is not harmful to herself at all, and it can also defeat Sister Jiang, so why not do it , so he nodded.

Rong Lanxue instructed again: "Remember, the third younger sister just grabbed the third young master's arm. If you go too far, you will make the master and wife have to react for her reputation, but it's just 'a bad thing done with good intentions'" gone."

If it is true that there is no evil and no business, it is strange that she can open a shoe shop to do business.Sister Xiang scolded her in her heart while nodding repeatedly.

After discussing it, the two separated, one went to the main road, and the other turned to the small road, as if the two sisters just met by chance and chatted a few words.Rong Lanxue gave Lianxiang a wink, then walked slowly towards Rong Tiancheng's study, halfway there, Lianxiang caught up with the report panting, "Fifth Miss has already reported on Third Miss, the wife is accompanying guests Unable to leave, I sent Luzhu'er to the study, and called Miss San to ask about the situation."

Rong Lanxue calmed down, quickened her pace, and finally arrived at the study before Lu Zhu'er - she didn't want Rong Tiancheng to think that she and Lu Zhu'er had made a confession.As for Sister Jiang, she will definitely deny it and report the truth, but it doesn't matter, now she is saying the same thing as Sister Xiang.

Rong Tiancheng's study room was still gloomy, and Rong Lanxue walked from room to room to the innermost one.Rong Tiancheng didn't know what Sister Xiang had reported on Sister Jiang, and when he saw Rong Lanxue, he was immediately furious, and asked her if she had driven Zong Yunlong out of the house.

"I didn't chase him away, I just hit him a few times." Rong Lanxue said aggrievedly.

"What?!" Rong Tiancheng was about to faint from anger, she, she dared to hit Zong Yunlong, "Do you know who he is? The entire Lin'an County, and even the entire provincial government, all the seafood depends on him for supply, he The family has several large ships that go overseas, such as pearls, corals, and foreign goods, all of which come from their family. It took me a lot of effort to invite him to live in our house, but you actually beat him and made him angry gone?"

"Father, I know he's important, but I really can't blame me for it." Rong Lanxue said, and told him what she had just given to Sister Xiang.

Sister Jiang grabbed Zong Yunlong's arm and threw herself into her arms?Rong Tiancheng was stunned, but he didn't have any doubts.Not to mention that Sister Jiang shared the bed with her cousin when she was a child, he also knew that Sister Jiang had been infatuated with Zong Yunlong for a long time. The first time she saw him, she did some inappropriate actions, He was also scolded by Zong Yunlong.It's just that he feels that the so-called "no fight, no acquaintance", maybe the two are happy enemies, if Jiang's son can marry into the Zong family, he will really laugh in a dream.

But he never expected that Sister Jiang would actually climb Zong Yunlong's arm. In fact, this move is not a heinous thing. If the man is affectionate and the concubine is willing, let alone grabbing the arm, what's the point of cuddling?As long as no one sees it.

But these two people were not only seen, but Zong Yunlong ran away in anger. What does this mean?It means that either Zong Yunlong has no intention of marrying Sister Jiang, or he just wants to take advantage of it. No matter what it is, he doesn't mean to marry Sister Jiang.

For a moment, Rong Tiancheng didn't know whether to blame Sister Jiang for her disorderly behavior, or to blame her for having no brains and fighting an uncertain battle.

Seeing that Rong Tiancheng was in a daze, Rong Lanxue wanted to rub the soles of her feet with oil, but just as she turned around, she was stopped by Rong Tiancheng: "Who else knows about this?"

Rong Lanxue said: "At that time, only my fifth sister and I were there."

Rong Tiancheng nodded and waved her out.

As soon as Rong Lanxue walked out of the door, she ran into Lu Zhu'er who was walking hurriedly. Lu Zhu'er asked with concern, "Miss, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Rong Lanxue shook her head and didn't say much.

But Lu Zhu'er said: "Miss, Madam invites you to go over."

The Jiang family probably called her because of this matter, because she colluded with Sister Xiang's confession, Rong Lanxue knew the truth, so she didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to Nuan Pavilion.

Walking to the rockery in the garden, you can see many well-dressed young men and women beside the rockery from a distance. Among them, in addition to a few ladies of the right age in Rong's mansion, there are also several men in Chinese clothes that I have never seen before. It was the guest Jiang specially invited for a "blind date" today.

If you look carefully, you can also find that in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, there are several elegant ladies sitting, standing or sitting, or talking with each other, or silent, but all of them are looking at the rockery. , Presumably he is carefully selecting a daughter-in-law who meets his own requirements.

It's really like picking Chinese cabbage at the market, Rong Lanxue sneered in her heart, but then she thought about it, in this ancient era with strict etiquette, it is already very remarkable to be able to meet each other before marriage, it is better than wedding candles It is much better to know whether the other party is lame or not when you pick off the red hijab.As for what she hopes in her heart, it is probably wishful thinking to fully understand the other party's character and character before marriage. "Marriage is a gamble", this sentence can better explain the fate she faces.

Inside the Nuan Pavilion, the fragrance was still very strong, but there was no one there, probably they all went to the garden.Under the guidance of the little maid, Rong Lanxue came to the Xishao Room, where Jiang was dressed in hospitality, sitting on the Luohan bed, looking at the cup of tea in his hand.

After the little maid gave an announcement, she bowed and retreated.Rong Lanxue stepped forward to salute, and said, "Ma'am, did you call me?"

Jiang shi lightly mentioned the matter of her driving away Zong Yunlong, and asked about sister Jiang's throwing herself into her arms on the way, and then looked at the cup of tea again, and fell silent as if in meditation.

Standing below, Rong Lanxue was full of doubts. Hearing Jiang's tone, she didn't care whether Zong Yunlong was kicked out of the house by her, or whether Sister Jiang was a well-behaved person.She can understand these, because the person who cares about doing business with the clan is Rong Tiancheng, not Jiangfu.As for misbehavior, as long as it's not Sister Qing, what does it have to do with Jiang's?In the final analysis, the Jiang family is just a person who is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han. The property that the old man Jiang left her is enough for her to use for a lifetime.

However, she seemed to have something to say to herself, but she kept silent. Why?Is it difficult to talk about the topic?

If she didn't speak, it would be difficult for Rong Lanxue to ask, so she could only stand respectfully with her head half down.

After a long time, when Rong Lanxue's legs started to go numb, Jiang finally said, "Xue'er, is your mother still unwilling to move back to the mansion?"

Rong Lanxue was startled. At this moment, the guests were still there. Jiang, as the host, didn't go to accompany the guests, but called her to talk about Ye. What's the reason?She thought about it for a while, and then said: "I've been busy with the store these few days, I don't know what my mother thinks."

Jiang said: "It's better to advise your mother to move back to the mansion, otherwise when you find someone else, it's not safe for her to live outside with her children alone."

Jiang's most respectful person, Rong Lanxue heard her mention her marriage, and quickly pinched herself hard, forcing herself to blush and bow her head in silence, but she was shocked in her heart. Want to find her a husband's house immediately?Does she already have someone in mind?But don't be the Li family!

Just as she was thinking about it, Jiang took a book with a red background sprinkled with gold in her hand, and said to her: "Accordingly, I shouldn't have said these things to you, an unmarried girl, but you child, I have always had an idea, and if I don’t ask for your opinion in advance, I am afraid that something will happen, so I specially asked you to ask today.” Then, he handed the book to her and said, “See for yourself. Come on, choose one and tell me, if there is anything unclear, ask me right now.”

What is this for?Rong Lanxue took the book full of doubts, and after opening it, she found that it was a roster, but besides the name, she also remembered the person's age and family background. She read a few lines, and suddenly Wake up, did the Jiang family ask her to pick out a family of her own? !
She was extremely shocked at the moment, thinking that she had read wrongly, she quickly raised her head to look at Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang sat very upright, with a very serious expression on his face, and said: "Although the Li family in the east of the city has specified that they want to marry you, I think it's better not to repeat the matter of wiping your neck and retiring at the Rong family twice. So, this time I will let you choose yourself, you can marry whoever you want, the condition is that once you choose, you are not allowed to repent."

Rong Lanxue is very grateful for Jiang's approach. In this era when parents' fate is greater than the sky, children's marriage matters will never be discussed with themselves. Because of her shyness and reserve, she will take the initiative to avoid going out, and she dare not even think about such a thing as letting her choose a husband-in-law by herself.

However, at this moment, in her heart, suspicion was greater than gratitude-whose parents would rush to mention this to their children when guests came to the door?And from Jiang's tone, is she asked to choose now, if she doesn't choose, she is not allowed to leave this door?What made Jiang so anxious?
