But as soon as she returned home, she heard that Fang Liying had been entrusted with an important task by Mrs. Meng. Wang Mengjiao took the five-yuan banknote and asked to participate. Meng Tianqi had no objection, so the incident just happened.
Looking at the appearance of these two people, one knew that Meng Tianqi rested in Wang Mengjiao's room last night. As soon as Meng Tianqi left, Xu Ruoshui said, "Two aunts, let's go. The house is so big, let's take a look
It will take some time to do it all.”
"Pa", the moment Xu Ruoshui turned around, she heard a heavy slap, followed by Fang Liying's scolding, "Don't act like a vixen all day long, this slap is to make you remember what it means
The elders and the younger are in order.”
It turned out that Wang Mengjiao was beaten by Fang Liying, and Xu Ruoshui had no intention of trying to persuade her to make peace. She had long wanted to throw the slap away, but due to her special status, she had to endure it. Now the rights were regarded as the second wife's own business, so she did not interfere.
No one will say anything.
"Sister, I don't know what my sister has done wrong, why do you want to treat me like this?" Wang Mengjiao's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked extremely fragile and aggrieved.
This was really not her true face. Xu Ruoshui glanced at it and said, "There are important things today. If anything happens to the two aunts, it would be better to close the door and talk about it. The maids and servants are all here on the way. Let's
People take it as a joke when they see it.”
"Young mistress, I~~~~" Wang Mengjiao obviously wanted justice for herself.
"Okay, Aunt Wang, it's important," Xu Ruoshui interrupted her, and then said to Fang Liying, "Aunt Fang, you just fell short. If anything happens in the future, just talk about it behind closed doors.
Come on, don't do anything, you've lost your sense of proportion." After two sentences, the two of them were speechless. Xu Ruoshui secretly laughed, it turns out that the eldest mistress has such benefits.
"Huh," Fang Liying rolled her eyes at Wang Mengjiao viciously, then took Xu Ruoshui's hand and said, "Eldest Mistress, let's go, Madam didn't ask her to take care of things, she thought it was just a big deal to ask the Second Young Master to come forward.
"
Xu Ruoshui smiled and shook her head, "Let's go, my good aunt," she took Wang Mengjiao with her other hand, and the three of them walked away together, with the maids following with snacks and tea.
After swimming around for a long time, the three of them were already dripping with sweat. Since it was the autumn season, the usual fun places seemed a bit depressed and lacked life, so the three of them rested in the pavilion at the second entrance.
Yan'er and Chunjin served tea, but they didn't prepare Wang Mengjiao's in advance, because Xu Ruoshui passed the tea cup, "I wonder if the two aunts have any ideas? These places are really not as good as Madam's yard, even if they are
The lotus pond is also slightly better."
Fang Liying took a sip of water and said, "In my opinion, Madam's yard is better, it's spacious and refreshing."
Xu Ruoshui shook his head and said with a smile, "If Madam agrees, we won't have to make this trip."
"There are still two places I haven't seen yet. Why don't we discuss it after we've seen it," Wang Mengjiao said.
By this time, she was already tired. Fang Liying had no intention of continuing shopping, so she raised her voice and said, "If you want to go shopping, I won't accompany you."
The two started to disagree, and Xu Ruoshui quickly advised, "Okay, okay, there are still two places we haven't seen yet. Let's do this. Aunt Fang will rest here first, and Aunt Wang and I will go and take a look."
"
Wang Mengjiao glanced at Xu Ruoshui gratefully, got up and went with her. Meng Tianqi had explained something to her yesterday, so he brought her here simply.
These two places are what Meng Tianbo said are the two most deserted places. They are located on the left and right sides of the second entrance. The courtyard on the left is very spacious. The flower statues inside are only sand. The running water under the winding corridor has already disappeared.
It is dry, the cobblestones are lying alone, and the paint of several pavilions above the winding corridor is mottled and scattered, which makes it feel more than deserted.
After seeing the courtyard on the left, the two went to the courtyard on the right. This place looked more depressed than the one on the left, but the prosperity of the past could be vaguely seen. A large area of plum trees with dead leaves fell to the ground, and there were fewer streams than the courtyard on the left.
There are a few more large tanks, and you can vaguely see that lotus flowers were once planted in them. There is a hexagonal pavilion at each corner, and a well in the middle of the opposite corner, which is covered with wooden boards and weighed down by a big stone.
This actually attracted Xu Ruoshui's attention.
"Young lady, let's go. This place looks eerie and scary." Wang Mengjiao pulled Xu Ruoshui's hand to prevent her from approaching the well slowly, but Xu Ruoshui had already died once.
, there is nothing more frightening than being a ghost.
"I'll just go and take a look. If you're afraid, just stand still."
"Let's go," Wang Mengjiao demanded again, "Madam wouldn't choose this place anyway."
"How do you know Madam won't choose this place?" Xu Ruoshui was full of doubts. Because she was from Meng Tianqi, could it be that he had already decided where to choose?
"I'm just guessing," Wang Mengjiao said quickly, "Even I think it's too deserted. Madam will definitely not choose this place. What if there are snakes, insects, rats and ants that scare the guests?"
Xu Ruoshui took two steps forward. There was always a force pulling her to see clearly, but...she stopped. Why did this strange feeling become more and more obvious?
"Let's go, eldest mistress," Wang Mengjiao saw Xu Ruoshui stop and pulled her back. With this pull, she walked out of the right yard. When she looked back, she saw the broken plaque that read "
There are two big characters "Wangmei".
"Aunt Wang, after shopping around, what do you think?" Xu Ruoshui asked. She must know something about Meng Tianqi's intentions. If it is as she suspected, Mrs. Meng seems to be ready to make a fortune.
"How dare I express my opinion? Today is just for fun." Wang Mengjiao is not stupid, she also wants to hear Xu Ruoshui's opinion.
Xu Ruoshui covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes turned around on Wang Mengjiao's face, "Look what you said, if Madam accepts someone's opinion, she will definitely be rewarded."
When Wang Mengjiao heard this, her eyes suddenly shone, and she thought to herself, if this is the case, I won't be able to compete in front of Madam. Then what else will Fang Liying be proud of? After pretending to think, she said, "
In my opinion, the courtyard on the left is better. The Marquis is a big shot, so it makes people feel respected because it is newer. Although Madam’s courtyard is large, it feels a bit too small for a small family."
"Oh, why is Aunt Wang thinking the same as me?" Xu Ruoshui pretended to be surprised.
Wang Mengjiao's steps faltered, she stopped, and she said rather unnaturally, "So the young lady thinks so too, and I don't have the right to speak in front of the madam."
