Jiaojiao's black silk hair is embedded with gold and gem-set dragonfly hairpins. Her beautiful face is full of red clouds, her lips are slightly crimson and full of luster, her eyebrows are like black and white, her eyes are like apricots, her figure is as graceful as a flower, and she is as graceful as any fairy.
"What a coincidence. Why is the eldest mistress going out?" Wang Mengjiao has adapted to her identity and no longer calls Xu Ruoshui 'sister-in-law'.
"Yes, I went to say hello to my mother, but it's a little late." Xu Ruoshui pursed her lips and said with a smile. Wang Mengjiao's life was really good. A month had made her look much better. "Is there something wrong with Aunt Wang?"
Wang Mengjiao hesitated for a moment, "It's nothing, I just have a very nice-looking hairpin for you, my eldest mistress. I hope your eldest mistress won't dislike it."
Xu Ruoshui saw a long box in Bi'er's hand. If he remembered correctly, there should be a green snow-containing hairpin inside. This was a piece of green jade, because one end was as green as snow and the other as bright as plum blossoms.
Named Lvxue Hanfang, "You're too polite. I just accepted your pearl bracelet. How can I be so embarrassed?" She took the box directly from Bi'er's hand, opened it, and pretended to be surprised, "That's really cool."
It's really a wonderful thing. How did my aunt know that I like these jade things? What's the name of something so special?"
Wang Mengjiao didn't know what its name was, so she chose it from among the dowries because she didn't have a name. "It's fine if the young mistress likes it."
"It's better to call it Green Snow and Fragrance. What do you think? It's a pity... Oh, I won't say it anymore. I won't say it anymore. Since this thing is destined to me, I will keep it. I won't go to my mother's place either.
?I have never seen such high-quality jade, very good, very good." Xu Ruoshui couldn't put it down and deliberately named it.
On the contrary, Yan'er was very surprised, "How did the eldest young lady know that her name is Luxue Hanfang? That's what the second young lady said at the time."
"Oh~~~ My ex-sister-in-law and I have a certain fate. Come on, come on," Xu Ruoshui took Wang Mengjiao's hand affectionately, "Go sit in my room for a while." Those who didn't know thought that this late autumn was just a philistine.
"Isn't there something going on at Madam's place? It's not okay if we delay it," Wang Mengjiao said slightly, "I don't know if it's urgent or not? Why don't I go there with the eldest mistress?"
Xu Ruoshui heard the smell inside. It turned out that she was going to Chunhui Hall with her. She thought that Fang Liying was not the only one who was concerned about being left to talk yesterday. "It's something like that, but it's actually nothing."
The big thing is just a trivial matter for the housekeeper." Xu Ruoshui realized that he had become a little gloomy. Acting was so easy that he didn't need to make any plans at all. Just mentioning it like this wouldn't kill Wang Mengjiao's appetite.
"Housekeeper? Madam, you asked the eldest mistress to help with the housekeeping?" Wang Mengjiao confirmed, as if she couldn't believe it was true. She thought that Mrs. Meng was just showing kindness to her concubine's daughter-in-law, but it turned out that she was treating her concubine well in her heart.
"I took the account book from Mother Wang and asked me to learn how to read it first. I don't know what the purpose is, Aunt Wang," Xu Ruoshui asked for advice, "If it were you, what do you think it was for? I'm thinking about it in my heart.
It’s here.”
"Young lady, don't laugh at me, how could I know." Wang Mengjiao waved her hands to refuse, the ringing of the bracelet on her hand ringing loudly.
"It doesn't matter," Xu Ruoshui poured the tea, "you can help me analyze it. You know that if something goes wrong, you won't let me down." The water vapor curled up on the tea cup, which disturbed my thoughts.
Wang Mengjiao went to the tea stall, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile, "Isn't it because Madam wants to leave the family affairs to the eldest mistress?"
"Hi~~~ No way?" Xu Ruoshui said in surprise, "I'm afraid my identity is inappropriate."
It was indeed inappropriate. Wang Mengjiao almost blurted out, but she said, "How could it be? The eldest young lady is the most suitable candidate now."
"Even you are looking down upon me. I wish that the second young master would marry the second young mistress as soon as possible. My burden here would be lighter. I also have to take care of the eldest young master. I really don't have the resources to do all the work."
When she mentioned the second young mistress, Wang Mengjiao's face was full of expectations. If she became Meng Tianqi's wife, she would be able to seize the right to be the head of the family. By then, who would be popular and who would drink spicy food would not be the one who has the final say, and there are still so many
It's better to have many maids and servants at your disposal than to live in the Xu family with someone else.
Xu Ruoshui knew that her words had had an effect. Meng Tianqi's two concubines both wanted to become the head's wife. If they could live together peacefully, they would no longer be the Wang Mengjiao she knew.
"Madam, it's almost noon now, why don't you go to Madam's place?" Yan'er reminded her as she looked at the time.
When Xu Ruoshui led Wang Mengjiao into the house, she had no intention of going to Mrs. Meng's place. Checking the accounts was not an easy task. In the past, she would have asked a few questions and she had to think of how to answer. It was better to wait for Mrs. Meng to ask.
On the contrary, he would appear clumsy and not attract Mrs. Meng's attention.
"It's rare for Aunt Wang to come and sit here. Madam's place is a trivial matter anyway. It doesn't matter." Xu Ruoshui weighed it up and chose not to go to Chunhui Courtyard. Then he asked Wang Mengjiao what he meant, "It's rare for Aunt Wang to fall in love with each other, so we'll stay for lunch."
Let’s get together.”
Wang Mengjiao wished she could get closer to her, "This will make me nag the eldest mistress."
"Yan'er, go talk to the kitchen and add some dishes for lunch. Also, go see if you can get some wine. Aunt Wang and I will have a few drinks." Xu Ruoshui ordered one by one, "By the way, let Mrs. Hu do it.
Bring over some chestnut cake, I like that stuff so much that I have to eat some every day."
Wang Mengjiao knew that Xu Ruoshui liked chestnut cake, but now she also likes it in late autumn. This made Wang Mengjiao doubtful again. The familiar feeling came back to her, "The eldest young lady's preferences are almost the same as those of my cousin."
Ah, no wonder I feel so connected to you."
"That's right," Xu Ruoshui said happily, "but now you and I are almost as different as sisters."
Wang Mengjiao nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Hu served the chestnut cake and glanced at Wang Mengjiao twice. Wang Mengjiao showed her openly. She was so confident in herself that even a bad old woman was attracted by her beauty.
"Mom, please go down." Xu Ruoshui was displeased and said to Wang Mengjiao, "Look, even our mother was attracted by Aunt Wang's beauty. It's really a shame to keep you here for dinner." She was full of jealousy.
, and lifted Wang Mengjiao by the way.
Wang Mengjiao smiled brightly.
Xu Ruoshui's jokes brought the two closer together.
