Chapter 73

Jin Ling picked it up and weighed it, reckoning it was more than two or two taels, he couldn't help being overjoyed, grinning non-stop.

Zong Yunlong drank the word "roll" and strode towards the cabin where Rong Lanxue was.

Yupan was guarding the door, and when he saw him approaching this way angrily, he hurriedly reported loudly: "Master Zong San——"

Zong Yunlong didn't wait for her to finish reporting, he pushed her with his hand, opened the door directly, and rushed in.

Rong Lanxue was half lying on a soft couch, holding a volume of books in her hands, reading intently, and Lianxiang was waiting on her side, peeling a grape or breaking a piece of orange and feeding it into her mouth. See how leisurely and carefree.

When Zong Yunlong saw it, he became even more angry, stepped forward and snatched the book from her hand, and shouted: "You leave everything to me, and you will be at ease!"

Rong Lanxue was engrossed in watching it, and suddenly her hands were empty, she was very dissatisfied, and frowned, "What did Mr. Zong San say? What did I leave to you?"

Zong Yunlong said angrily: "A few days ago, all the people in charge on the ship ran to me to collect the money, and today Jin Ling ran away again, what do you think I am?"

Rong Lanxue said aggrievedly: "You have all the money, and I have no money at hand. If I don't look for you, who will I look for?"

When Zong Yunlong thought about it, it made some sense. Although he gave Rong Lanxue the right to be a housekeeper, he didn't give her any money. The so-called clever daughter-in-law can't live without rice. Who is he looking for?

After thinking it through in this way, Zong Yunlong not only calmed down, but also blamed himself a little bit, so he was taken advantage of and took the initiative to say: "I have an account in my house, and the money is with Mama Yang, but now She is on the boat, and she is ill again, so there are a lot of inconveniences, we can talk about it when we get off the boat and go home." Then, he asked the servant to fetch a box, handed it to her, and said, "Here are some scattered silver, you Put it away first, come to me if you don’t have enough.”

Rong Lanxue was very satisfied with his reaction, and ended up saying, "Thank you, Third Young Master."

Although giving money to his fiancée was justified, Zong Yunlong somehow felt that he had been calculated, tilted his head in doubt, and went out.

The boat traveled very fast, and in the early morning of the third day, it had already dropped anchor and docked. Yupan went out to have a look, then ran back to the cabin, panting, and told Rong Lanxue, "Miss, miss, there are many people and carriages outside. , so many sedan chairs, the entire pier is occupied.”

Rong Lanxue originally wanted to go out and have a look, but she was afraid of the strict rules of the clan, so she was hesitating when she suddenly saw Jin Ling appearing at the door, greeting her with a pleasant smile.

Rong Lanxue was a little surprised, and asked, "Mother Yang called you here?"

Jin Ling smiled and said: "Mother Yang is still lying on the bed and can't get up. The maidservant is thinking of getting off the boat today, so come here to see if Miss Rong needs any help."

Rong Lanxue couldn't help laughing, the old saying, money can turn ghosts, it is true, Jinling must be thinking, Rong Lanxue first arrived in Guangzhou today, facing the big battle of the clan, she must There are many things she doesn't understand. If she can take this opportunity to serve her well and get a few taels of silver, this year will be enough.

Lianxiang looked at Gurong Lanxue's face, and said to Jinling: "We are really happy that you come to help, but I am afraid that Mama Yang will not be happy."

Jin Ling said: "Miss Rong is a guest, I'm here to help, it's the way of hospitality, even if Mama Yang knows about it, she will only praise me for being sensible."

Since she wasn't afraid of scolding herself, why would she have any scruples, Lianxiang immediately asked: "I heard from Yupan that there are many people on the pier?"

Jin Ling smiled and said: "This pier originally belonged to the Zong family. I heard that Mr. Zong San was coming back, and the port was closed three days ago, waiting for our ship to dock. So now there is no other people on the pier except for the people who are coming to pick up the Zong family. People are waiting."

The Zong family has such a big ostentation!I don't know if it's because of Zong Yunlong or because of her.While Rong Lanxue was surprised, she couldn't help but sigh that the clan was so rich that it even had its own dock.

Probably because there were so many people today, Zong Yunlong didn't show up to avoid suspicion. Jin Ling, as the only representative of the Zong family, introduced this and that to Rong Lanxue very attentively.Seeing her like this, Rong Lanxue wanted to ask her about the population of Zong Yunlong's family, who they were in, and their temperament, but she still didn't dare to ask—not because she was shy or embarrassed, but because she was hindered by her status as a girl-to-be. , after all, in ancient times, she had to do as the Romans did, so she couldn't be said to be shameless, right?
Speaking of the situation of the Zong family, Rong Lanxue really didn't know anything about it. She blamed the Jiang family for marrying her own daughter in a hurry, so she didn't have time to inquire about it.Forget it, I have already boarded the pirate ship at this moment, and I can only take one step at a time.

As she was about to disembark, Mother Yang's "illness" was still not cured, but Rong Lanxue showed the demeanor of a quasi-headed mistress. Compliments.

There were too many people coming to pick them up, and Rong Lanxue didn't know who was who, she just got off the boat with a maid who led the way, and then boarded the car and headed towards the city.

From the layout of the car, it can be seen not only that the family is rich, but also that they often do overseas business, with some small decorations, full of exotic customs.

As the carriage moved forward, the noise outside the carriage also gradually increased, and the sound of peddlers could be heard, and it seemed that they had already entered the city.Yupan became nervous, and said, "I don't know where they will drag us, and I don't know who they want to meet..."

Lianxiang laughed loudly, knocked her on the head and said: "Our young lady hasn't visited the church yet, where can we go? At least find another house, arrange for us to live in it first, and wait for the auspicious day to get married."

Yupan heard that he was looking for another house to live in, so instead of going to the Zong family right away, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said: "That's good, that's good, let's take advantage of these few days to find out the situation of the Zong family. Find out, and you won’t panic when you enter the door.”

Rong Lanxue nodded in satisfaction at her just as she had this intention.

Lianxiang guessed right, the carriage stopped in front of a not too big yard, look at the layout, three rooms and two entrances, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a big family house that can accommodate hundreds of people, it must be a I'm in another hospital.It's just that this other courtyard looks half-new and not old, some of the pillars in the corridor have even begun to peel off the paint, it doesn't look like a wealthy family's other courtyard.Rong Lanxue couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Yupan and Lianxiang also had the same thought, followed her for a while, and whispered: "Could it be that they dragged us to the wrong place?"

Rong Lanxue turned her head, glared at them, then pouted forward, signaling them to look at the maid leading the way.That maid came from the pier with the carriage, how could there be a mistake?However, this place does not conform to the identity of the clan, and I can't blame them for being suspicious.

A few people followed the servant girl to the hall in the backyard, the servant girl asked Rong Lanxue to sit up, and asked the little servant girl to bring tea, and went forward to bow down, saying: "Miss Rong, this servant girl is the maidservant in front of the second wife. It's called a conch."

Rong Lanxue was about to answer when she saw a large group of maids rushing in from outside, filling the entire living room in the blink of an eye, and she was stunned.These maids, without waiting for Rong Lanxue to speak, knelt down and kowtowed, calling "Miss Rong" in a hurry, and scrambling to introduce themselves, for fear of being one step behind others and being kicked out.

Yupan and Lianxiang were also taken aback, and after reacting, they rushed to Rong Lanxue, opened their arms, and stopped the maids and women from approaching.

After Rong Lanxue was surprised, she listened attentively. Although those maids and wives were yelling loudly, they actually said the same things.This made her even more strange, she cleared her throat, and said, "Be quiet, whoever makes a noise, should be kicked out first."

What she didn't expect was that her words were so eloquent. As soon as she finished speaking, the room was completely silent. Some maids who were too late to listen to the sound even covered their mouths with their hands, for fear that if they made any noise, they would really be caught by Rong Lan. Snow drove out.

Are they so afraid of themselves?Or, are you really afraid of being kicked out?Rong Lanxue became more and more surprised. In the surprise, there was also a little excitement. It seems that this family is not simple.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip unhurriedly, and called, "Conch."

When Conch heard her call her name, her face was full of surprise, while the faces of the others showed disappointment and resentment.What's going on here?

Conch's answer immediately answered her doubts: "Thank you grandma, Conch will definitely serve grandma with all my heart..."

Wait, what does this mean?Conch wants to stay with her?Did she ever say that?Dare they think that anyone who is named by her will stay.

Rong Lanxue understood what they meant and smiled: "Didn't you come from the same place?"

Those maidservants looked at each other, and they all showed a look of disdain for each other. One of the maidservants in bright clothes stepped forward and said: "The servant girl belongs to Tian Wang's family. If Miss Rong says, we They all come from different masters of the clan, and they all want to serve grandma."

Different masters!Even if Rong Lanxue wanted to be polite, she couldn't help but asked, "Is there no one in charge in your family?"

The maids and women below looked at each other, and Tian Wang's family also showed embarrassment. After hesitating for a while, they said: "Now the person in charge of the Zong family is our third wife."

As soon as these words were uttered, the pot exploded immediately, and Tian Wang's family became the target of everyone's attack.Conch was the first to attack, pointing at her nose and cursing: "Tian Wang's family, you are so shameless, the person in charge of the clan is obviously our second wife, and even this house was brought out by our second wife. What are you, why don't you hurry up and get out of here!"

Among them were a few maidservants who were about the same age as Conch, and probably belonged to the same master as her. Upon hearing her words, they immediately squeezed out and surrounded Tian Wang's house, as if they really wanted to fork her out.But Tian Wang's family didn't come alone, as soon as she yelled, several women with big arms and round waists surrounded her, forming a confrontation with Conch and the others.

At the same time, many other maids and women were not idle, and while they were fighting, they seized the opportunity to gather around Rong Lanxue, chattering.

Rong Lanxue listened carefully, and they actually said something like "our eldest wife is the head of the clan".Now she probably understands that they all think that their master is the person in charge of the Zong family, so they are not convinced with each other. .Generally speaking, at a time like this, there should be an elder in charge. Don't they have one?
Rong Lanxue was puzzled, raised her hand, signaled the group of maids to be quiet, and then asked, "Who is the most senior person in your family now?"

Good guy, after saying this, they exploded again, arguing about the seniority of their masters.Dare to love their masters, they are all about the same seniority, what is going on?Thinking of this, she cleared her throat and said, "If anyone can explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly to me, and let me understand what's going on, I'll let her stay."
