Chapter 68

"Then have you been discovered by him?" Rong Lanxue asked with concern.

Lianxiang shook her head triumphantly, and said, "I was very careful, how could he find out—"

Before finishing the sentence, he was interrupted by a sarcasm: "Don't look at evil, your lady didn't teach you? Even if she didn't teach you, eavesdropping on the master's speech is against the rules, you should know that?"

It wasn't Zong Yunlong who said this, he actually returned what Rong Lanxue said to him earlier, intact.

Lianxiang consciously lost Rong Lanxue's face, her face flushed with embarrassment, she lowered her head and dared not look up.

Zong Yunlong came in from the cabin door, knocked on the door panel, and said: "The door is open, so I walked in, you can't pick the thorn."

Rong Lanxue opened the door just to prevent someone from eavesdropping, but she didn't expect Zong Yunlong to succeed even with the door open, so she couldn't help feeling angry and anxious.

Zong Yunlong gave her a hard look, turned around and left.

As soon as he left, Lianxiang knelt down, Rong Lanxue sighed, and said: "After all, I was naughty and told you to eavesdrop. No wonder others, forget it, get up."

Yupan said: "He eavesdropped on us once, we eavesdropped on him once, it's even."

Lianxiang thought for a while, and said: "Last time and this time, he eavesdropped, but we only eavesdropped on him once, and we still owe him once."

Rong Lanxue couldn't help laughing: "Then next time you have a chance, go again."

"Just go." Lianxiang straightened her chest, "I can see that, in fact, Mr. Zong San is just a paper tiger, he can only swear at people, but he can't be serious."

But Rong Lanxue said seriously: "Don't be complacent, I think Mr. Zong San is a man with means, don't offend him, be careful I can't save you."

Lianxiang hurriedly lowered her head, but still felt strange: "How did you see this?"

Rong Lanxue couldn't help laughing: "A person who can't wait to come to propose marriage as soon as he hears that I'm going to dismiss Tongfang, can he be an ordinary person?"

Lianxiang was taken aback for a moment, then she couldn't stop laughing, and Yupan laughed too.

After laughing, Lianxiang showed a sad face, and said: "I think Miss Wu was right that day, Mr. Zongsan actually expects you to dismiss his housemate, this is unreasonable, there must be some fraud."

Rong Lanxue was really worried about this, and said, "I don't believe that there are no twists and turns in this matter, but I don't know anything about it. Guangzhou is too far away from Linjiang County. It’s far away, and it’s hard to find out.”

Yupan walked over from the side, and said nonchalantly: "Didn't Miss just say that that day, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, so what are you afraid of? Besides, Mr. Zong San took the initiative to mention this family relationship. If anyone makes things difficult for Miss, he will Tell Mr. Zong San to go and let him back you up." Yupan suddenly realized something as he spoke, and said, "Miss, I suddenly understand why Mr. Zong San was angry just now. Push on him, don’t let yourself get ahead in everything.”

Rong Lanxue lowered her head and pondered.

Lianxiang nodded again and again, and said: "Yupan is right. Miss, her mother's family is far away thousands of miles away. If you are wronged or bullied, and there is no one to help you, you can even write a letter to ask for help. It's not a matter of a moment, besides, their family is powerful, if someone deliberately intercepts the letter and cuts off the young lady's way out, then the young lady can only let them be rounded and flattened. So, when you first started When you come to your husband's house, you must be at a disadvantage. If you want to protect yourself from being bullied, you can only find someone to rely on, and who is more suitable than Mr. Zongsan? As long as he wholeheartedly protects you, you will Rest easy."

I have to say, Lianxiang's words are very reasonable, so what if she can make shoes and open a store to make money, those skills, in the eyes of the family engaged in overseas trade, I am afraid that they are at the level of playing games, and they can't get into others at all. However, her natal family is far away, if she is not careful, not only will she be bullied, but the dowry may also be lost. Thinking pessimistically, if she offends someone, she may lose her life.In the final analysis, it was because this marriage was decided by Mr. Zong San himself, and his parents' opinions were not known, otherwise Rong Lanxue would not have these worries.

Since Mr. Zong San is the one who decides to marry her, he has to be responsible to her, and even though she is a little woman hiding behind him to enjoy the shade, keep a low profile and keep a low profile, everything will wait until she has a firm footing.Thinking of this, Rong Lanxue began to analyze what she did on the deck just now, it's okay, it's okay, from the beginning to the end, she only offended Jinling, that girl had a bad heart, and she fanned the flames in front of Mama Yang Well, it's fine to suppress her, but if she is suppressed by a maid before reaching the Zong's house, then it's not playing low-key, but being angry.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Yupan muttering to Lianxiang in a low voice: "Oh no, you also said that you want Miss Zongsan to stay with some Mr. Zongsan so that Mrs. Zongsan can protect her, but today we have offended Mrs. Zongsan. And more than once..."

"What can we do?" It was Rong Lanxue who asked the question.To be honest, she doesn't know Zong Yunlong's temperament at all, she only knows that he has a hot temper and is not sympathetic at all. Alas, people with such a temper will most likely be accompanied by such things as "revenge", "small stomach and chicken intestines" What if he hated himself because of this, and when she was in trouble, instead of helping her, he rolled up his sleeves and watched the fun?
Yupan and Lianxiang at the side probably also thought of this, their faces turned pale.Yupan said repeatedly: "Since you have offended, you must try your best to make up for it. Miss, let's invite Mr. Zongsan to have a meal and reconcile?"

Lianxiang gave her a blank look, and said: "We are on the boat of the Zong family, do we want to treat guests with things from the Zong family? It's on the river, and it's not easy to go down to buy vegetables and wine."

Yu Pan anxiously said: "I can't treat guests, so what should I do? Miss Zong's family only knows one Mr. Zong San, if he doesn't even care about him, how will I live in the future?"

It's reasonable, if Rong Lanxue can't hold the third son's heart firmly, she will be alone in the Zong family in the future.When Lianxiang heard this, she also became anxious.

Rong Lanxue thoughtfully, looked down at the shoes on her feet, and said to herself: "Why don't you just keep doing my old job?"

Lianxiang and Yupan looked at Rong Lanxue's feet at the same time, and shouted excitedly: "Miss is smart enough to make a pair of shoes for Mr. Zongsan carefully. Once he is happy with it, he won't bother with us."

Making a pair of shoes is a lot of work, and I'm afraid there won't be enough time. Fortunately, Lianxiang and Yupan have learned some skills from her. If nothing else, it's no problem to help sew a few stitches. And the materials for making shoes, she carries with her What you bring is ready-made.The more Rong Lanxue thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was feasible, so she greeted Lianxiang and Yupan, and opened the box to find materials.

While rummaging through, Rong Lanxue found a new pair of shoes. She originally made them for Mrs. Ye. They were a pair of egg blue silk shoes embroidered with cloud patterns. Because she was too busy before getting married, she didn't finish finishing the bridal sedan chair. I felt it was a pity to throw it away, so I took it with me and asked someone to take it back when I was ready.But at this moment, it seems that I can use these shoes to do something first. As for Mrs. Ye, I will do it later...

Rong Lanxue thought about it, and asked Lianxiang and Yupan, "Have you ever noticed that Mama Yang's feet are about the same size as my mother's?"

Both Lianxiang and Yupan didn't understand what she meant, Yupan said: "I didn't pay attention to the feet, but Mama Yang is about the same height as Aunt Ye, and the feet are not much different if I think about it."

Lianxiang then asked: "Why, miss wants to give the shoes made for Mrs. Ye to Mama Yang?"

Rong Lanxue nodded, and said: "My mother is far away in Linjiang County, even if the shoes are ready, she won't be able to wear them for a while, why don't you let me see them first, and then give them to her in Guangzhou Let it go."

Hearing this, Yupan yelled: "Miss, then Mama Yang is not a good person, she didn't even allow us to leave the cabin door, just now on the deck, if you hadn't reacted quickly, maybe the person who was scolded now That's us!"

Rong Lanxue shook her head slowly, and said, "No, if she is really a bad person and has bad thoughts about me, she wouldn't treat us like this."

Yupan was confused: "Then according to Miss, if she is a bad person, what will she do to us?"

Rong Lanxue didn't answer directly, but asked her instead: "Let me ask you, it's been a few days since we've been on this boat, do you think the rules of this clan are really strict, or is it something that Mama Yang invented?"

Yupan didn't even think about it and said: "Naturally, they are really strict. Their maids are not allowed to go on the deck at will, and making loud noises is even more difficult." After she finished speaking, she was not convinced: "But miss you It's not a maidservant, but their future young mistress, how could you not be allowed on deck..."

Rong Lanxue interrupted her, and said: "Since you also said that the Zong family is really strict, if Mama Yang intends to harm me, not only will she not restrain my behavior, but she will pamper me as much as possible." , let me think that the Zongjia is a loose place, and then wait until I really go to the Zongjia and meet those elders who talk about the rules, and then watch my jokes."

If Lianxiang realized something, she nodded and said: "What Miss said is very true. It seems that Mama Yang is just being strict and old-fashioned, but in fact it is for Miss's best."

Rong Lanxue said: "She is Mr. Zongsan's wet nurse, so naturally she is only thinking of him, and I am the wife chosen by Mrs. Zongsan himself, so even if she doesn't like me very much in private, she won't make things difficult for me. In front of him, he will protect me even more."

"So, we need to have a good relationship with Mama Yang!" At this moment, Yupan finally understood, held up the unfinished pair of shoes that were originally intended for Mrs. Ye, and shouted.

Rong Lanxue laughed: "Now that you understand everything, let's do it first. Let's make the pair of Mama Yang's shoes first, and then we will divide the work and work together to try to make the pair of Mr. Zongsan's shoes before we arrive in Guangzhou." .”

Yupan and Lianxiang nodded again and again, and immediately searched for needles and threads, and under Rong Lanxue's guidance, they buried themselves in the needles and started to make shoes.With a goal and something to do, the life on the boat becomes less boring, and the time is easy to pass.In order to catch up with work, they hardly stepped out of the cabin door, and Mama Yang was satisfied. Jinling tried to get the place back again and again, but she couldn't do it because they didn't go out, so she had to stay at their cabin door every day. Walking around, she was scolded by Yang's mother several times because of this, and she was so wronged that she burst into tears.

A few days later, both pairs of shoes were finished. Mama Yang's was a pair of egg blue silk shoes embroidered with white moiré patterns, and Zong Yunlong's was a pair of red boots with leather lining and silk surface, which happened to be worn when they got married.

Lianxiang and Yupan were also worried that these two pairs of shoes were too thin and not suitable for winter. The closer they got to Guangzhou, the weather became warmer. They were relieved, and they all lamented that the south is indeed hotter, and it doesn't even look like winter. In winter, it seems that it will be difficult to see a snow in the future.

Before arriving in Guangzhou, she had the sorrow of parting. Rong Lanxue had to find some words to explain them, and at the same time secretly laughed again. Why is it that she takes on the role of psychological counseling every time? It is not for others to marry a bride. Come to untie her?
