    The elegant room was bright and elegant, with a faint fragrance of tea. Liu Ruyi walked to Fu Rong and sat down, smiling and asking the two sisters: "How about this tea?"

    Fu Rong said sincerely, "You are so kind to us."

    She likes to drink scented tea. Among them, the Zhulan Huangshan bud from Huizhou is the most popular. The pot prepared by Liu Ruyi has a clear soup, elegant floral fragrance, and mellow taste. It is really top-grade, as is the Pu'er tea made by my sister. Fu Rong knew that this was just Liu Ruyi's ability to attract repeat customers, and he certainly knew what Mrs. Pangjia liked about, but it didn't affect her enjoyment of such thoughtfulness.

    Fu Wan thanked him softly.

    When the guest was satisfied, Liu Ruyi brought up the matter and pointed to the three little girls: “They all come from innocent poor people and have been with lady Gu for two or three years. The gold and silver jewelry is still not good, Huatian is like this. I know how to make gadgets. The third girl will see which one I like, and I will give you a deed."

    Let the three girls report their names.

    They are all jewelry-related names.

    The best-looking one is called Golden Fan, with fair complexion and delicate eyebrows. Fu Rong is very beautiful, and people like to use it. In her previous life, she chose the golden fan. Because of the special role of the golden fan, Fu Rong gave her an example of a big maid. As a result, Jin Fan didn't know what she wanted, so she dared to hook up with her brother behind her back, and Fu Rong sent the person back.

    After Liu Ruyi learned the reason, she generously asked her to choose another.

    For the second time, Fu Rong chose an ordinary-looking silver pendant and learned the lesson from the last time. Fu Rong only let the silver pendant be a second-class maid, and usually does not ask her to come and wait on her, lest she would be secretly attracted by her brother Fengzi. Silver pendants are also regarded as a duty for men and women. They just love to inquire about them. They always want to find out why Fu Rong has to wear Huatian. After being asked by Mei Xiang, he still doesn't repent.

    People's Ruyi Zhai is not a girl seller, so Fu Rong was embarrassed to disturb Liu Ruyi again. He only threw the silver pendant out of the house and prepared to go to the silver building nearby. Who expected the silver pendant to return to Ruyizhai to complain, carrying the baggage, Liu Ruyi personally went to the house to apologize on the same day. It is expected that the silver pendant did not serve her well, and then gave her Yuqin.

    Yuqin, he was the ugliest of the three, how ugly, so ugly that Fu Rong had never seen a second glance at the first meeting.

    But Yuqin gave Fu Rong an insight into what is not to look like. Not only is she ingenious, she is also quiet and introverted, and what is more valuable is loyalty. Many people want to find out why Fu Rong is obsessed with Huatian, including her sister-in-law. After Fu Rong married to the prefectural palace, her sister-in-law promised Yuqin various benefits, but Yuqin's answer was always the same.

    "My girl is beautiful."

    "Let her be her." Fu Rong stretched out his finger to Yuqin, who was looking down. "The big maid around me has incense in the name. You used to be lady Gu’s gangster, but now I’m suddenly cut off. I can only mention that you are a maid to make up for it. If you want, can you change your name to Qin Xiang?"

    When these words came out, both Liu Ruyi and Fu Wan were taken aback, and the gold fan and silver pendant became even more envied and jealous.

    Lady Gu's apprentice, it sounds good, but it's almost like a maid. In the past few years, she couldn't learn the real skill. Besides, it's boring to sculpt and carve all day long. The gold and silver jewels were passed on by others, and they were really unwilling to give up. And the big maid next to Fu Family three girls will marry the three girls in the future. If you are lucky, you will be an aunt, but if you are bad, you will be a wife in charge. That is a real good day.

    The more thought about it, the more became jealous, and felt a little bit of complaint. The three girls are so ugly. What does she like about her?

    Yuqin was the most unbelievable, but when she raised her head and met Fu Rong’s expectant smile, her eyes became sore. She quickly knelt down and bowed her head respectfully and respectfully to Fu Rong: "Thank you girl Qin Xiang for giving her name, and she will do it well in the future. Serving the girl." He kowtow to Liu Ruyi, "The boss's help, Qin Xiang never forgets."

    Liu Ruyi smiled, "It is your good fortune that can be seen by the third girl. Okay, go back and pack up and prepare to go with the third girl. Don't forget to say goodbye to your master."

    Qin Xiang wiped her eyes quickly, and walked down.

    Fu Rong watched the three girls walk away, then turned to Liu Ruyi and said, "Please also thank lady Gu for me." It is rumored that lady Gu has an ugly appearance. She often lives in the backyard and does not go out, and occasionally wears a hat when she goes out , So she wouldn't be able to go to thank you in person.

    Liu Ruyi nodded, and handed Qin Xiang's deed to Fu Rong.

    When Qin Xiang was cleaned up, Liu Ruyi followed Sister Fu Rong downstairs: "It's been a long time since I saw my wife. Let's go to meet you today. Just ask for money when we meet. Madam will definitely annoy me."

    The smile on Fu Rong's face did not break, "Where did you help me so much, my mother is happy..."

    Halfway through the conversation stopped abruptly, Fu Rong stared at a newly dressed young man dressed in grey at the entrance of Ruyizhai, frowning slightly.

    Why is this person so familiar, where has he seen it...

    A solemn and majestic figure suddenly rushed into his mind. Fu Rong looked behind Xiaosi in shock, but only saw pedestrians on the street. There was no figure of her former father-in-law, Xin Capital king Xu Yaocheng.

    "Dense?" Fu Wan cried out curiously.

    "Oh, it's okay, let's go." Fu Rong returned to his senses, seeing the young man glanced here, and then standing at the foot of the stairs as if waiting for someone, Fu Rong casually went downstairs with Fu Wan. .

    After their sisters passed by, the little boy spoke: "My boss, there is a letter from you."

    He actually called Liu Ruyi's boss?

    The matter was too bizarre, Fu Rong couldn't help but turn his head, and saw Liu Ruyi put the letter in his sleeve casually. The young man hurried towards the door as soon as he finished his work, and disappeared in a flash.

    Seeing her curiosity, Liu Ruyi said casually: "I sent someone to inquire about the price of gold and silver in the capital a while ago. I finally handed back the news today."

    Fu Rong didn't believe it instinctively, but she couldn't inquire much about it as a guest.

    There was a carriage when it came, and there was another one behind when it returned.

    Fu Rong accompanies Joe to entertain Liu Ruyi. She speaks sweetly, Liu Ruyi has witty words, and Guan is lively and sexy, and there is endless laughter in the hall. Qiao also liked the three hairpins very much. Liu Ruyi asked for nine hundred taels. She added one hundred taels to round up the whole number, and the host and guests enjoyed themselves.

    After sending Liu Ruyi, Qiao called all three daughters to the main room and asked them to pick hairpins.

    The big one let the small one, Fu Wan let Fu Xuan pick first.

    Regardless of the total price of three hairpins of 900 taels, the unit price is by no means three hundred taels each. The most expensive one should be the one with sapphire, followed by pure pink tourmaline, and finally the white jade hairpin.

    Seeing that Fu Xuan was going to get the white jade hairpin, Fu Rong blocked her hand and said to the Qiao family, "Mother, let your brother give us a share. Every time you take out one, your brother will give it to whoever refers." Which one is she? It didn't matter, she liked the white hosta, but she didn't want her sister to choose the cheapest one.

    "Why bother so much." Seeing through the mind of the third sister, Fu Xuan insisted on getting the white hosta.

    Taking advantage of her height, Fu Rong pushed her sister aside and rushed to hand all three hairpins to her mother.

    Qiao smiled comfortingly. The girls are all *** comparisons, and sisters are also unconvinced with each other, but her three daughters have never had that kind of awkwardness. One is gentle and elegant, one is lively and charming, and the other is like life, saving her a lot of trouble.

    "Well, let Guan divide it." Qiao made a final decision.

    In the end, Fu Wan got the sapphire, Fu Xuan got the white jade hairpin, and Fu Rong got the pink tourmaline hairpin she liked most.

    This is also Qiao's most satisfactory distribution.

    She happily kissed Yaozi: "We Guan has a good eye. We know what color the sisters wear best. When they grow up in the future, they will definitely please the little girl."

    Brother Guan grinned while holding the jewelry box.

    Fu Rong leaned against his mother and looked at the smiling relatives around him, which was unprecedented satisfaction.

    To live her life again, her greatest wish is that the family will be safe and worry-free.

    ~

    Returning from the main room to his courtyard, Fu Rong rested on the pillow for a while, and ordered Mei Xiang to call Qin Xiang.

    "girl."

    Qin Xiang, who had changed into a white dress, walked to Fu Rong cautiously, looking at Fu Rong's waist.

    Fu Rong looked at Qin Xiang seriously. The teenage girl has a dark face, thick eyebrows, a collapsed nose, and thick lips. The only thing that can be seen is the big watery eyes. It is a pity that others don't open their eyes before they notice her. I've probably been together for a few years, and I'm used to it. Right now, Fu Rong doesn't feel how ugly Qin Xiang is. He smiles and asks her: "Have you arranged your accommodation? What is missing in the house?"

    Qin Xiang said quickly: "Lao Lao bother, she is all fine. She lives in the room next to Mei Xiang's sister. Both sisters take care of me very much."

    However, there were two little maids who turned their heads and snickered. Mei Xiang glared at them and immediately did not dare to show them. With such care, Qin Xiang is both happy and uneasy, and always feels that she is a newcomer and she does not deserve to be taken so seriously.

    Fu Rong has lived two lifetimes anyway, and Qin Xiang is not good at covering up, so it is easy to see her concerns. Waved to Qin Xiang, motioned her to come closer, Fu Rong lifted the eyebrows between his forehead and pointed to the small hole and said: "This is what I left behind when I was sick, Mazi, I won't be able to get rid of it most of my life. People can see, so I picked you to come and serve. Qin Xiang, apart from the old ladies, only the grandmother Mei Xiang Lan Xiang in the entire Xin Capital City knows. I believe in you, and hope you keep your mouth shut for me."

    Let Qin Xiang know how big her pit is, so that she can make the most suitable flower tin.

    Qin Xiang looked ugly, and immediately knelt down: "Girl rest assured, Qin Xiang swears to the sky and will never mention this to anyone. If there is any violation, Qin Xiang will only be called Qin Xiang in her next life, and she will be born like this in her next life!" If you don't do anything, you will become a laughing stock among others.

    Fu Rong didn't smile, but rather apologetic, for the initial contempt.

    Putting her shoes down on the ground, Fu Rong personally helped her up, "I naturally believe in you. I can't take care of your appearance. If you are by my side, who dares to laugh at you, I will immediately drive her away."

    She has a soft voice, but at this moment, her words are full of firm support. Qin Xiang bowed her head and wept silently. None of her parents had treated her like this.

    Fu Rong handed her a handkerchief, "Okay, go down first, and list all the materials and utensils used to make Huatian. I will ask someone to buy it tomorrow. I will not be in a hurry to make it for the time being. I brought back enough from Ruyizhai today. For a while."

    "Well, the girl just don't worry, Qin Xiang will take care of the girl." Qin Xiang assured her again, leaving her eyes red.

    Fu Rong leaned back on the couch and picked up the hairpin that had just been put aside to play with.

    What is going on with that little boy?

    She had never met him in Ruyizhai in her previous life. She met her father-in-law a few times after marrying into the county mansion. Could it be that he was originally from Ruyizhai. Later, when Ruyizhai went to Loukong, Liu Ruyi lady Gu did not know where he was going, and he voted again. Arrived at the county palace?

    But it was only more than half a year after Liu Ruyi left to marry her. Isn’t it weird that the young man became a cronies around his father-in-law so quickly? If he really had that kind of ability, he wouldn't have been squeezed in the little Ruyizhai right now, he would have long since made another move.

    Or maybe, he was the father-in-law, and was sent to Liu Ruyi's side?

    Did Liu Ruyi know it?

    If you know, there is only one explanation left, right?

    Fu Rong lifted the hairpin and stared at the delicate pink butterfly wings, feeling a little complicated.
