Chapter 445 Encounter by chance
With a red whip crackling on the wall, Ruian walked out of the side entrance of Prince Ping's Mansion in a bright red outfit.
Behind them are two carriages with big red balls tied on them, dragging loads of dowries. In order to make it easier to go on the road, everything has been bundled up. Clothes from all seasons, rouge pollen, bedding, bed curtains, washbasins and dishes, and even children and grandchildren buckets are packed.
Box and cage, tied tightly.
Before getting in the car, Hui Niang personally took a dowry list and a bunch of keys and handed them to Ruian, "It's not convenient for you to travel, and it's hard to carry those big pieces of furniture, so I've prepared more gold and silver jewelry for you.
It's all locked in that iron box, you have to watch it carefully."
Ryan nodded and thanked her, and even shed two tears.
Huiniang felt soft after seeing this, thinking that a woman would only be there once in her life, and that she might not see her again in the future, so she temporarily took off a pure gold fan from her clothes, and said with joy, a precious stone dropped from the bottom.
Give her a breast button to add another layer of makeup to her.
Ruian accepted it and thanked him again, and finally got in the car.
Listening to Hui Niang's explanation to Sun Xi outside, the general idea was that when Ruian arrived at Sun's house in the future, she would ask for some kind words such as taking care of her, and then said goodbye and cherished each other, and then the steward of Prince Ping's Mansion took them out of the city.
.
At this time, Ruian opened the car curtain a crack and carefully looked at the breast button in his hand. He confirmed that it was indeed a good thing, and then he was satisfied.
Because we were in a busy city and we were dragging a lot of luggage, the car was not going very fast and we could still hear the people talking next to us.
"Which house is hosting a wedding here?"
"It seems like it's Prince Ping's Mansion, that's why I heard the sound of firecrackers."
"Who could that be? His princess?"
"How is that possible! The last time the princess got engaged, it was such a grand event. Look, this time she didn't even open the front door. It's probably a girl from the mansion, right?"
"Tsk, tsk, even marrying a girl with such a large dowry, you are really lucky."
…
Ruian's hands gradually tightened, and he didn't notice the pain in his palms from the buttons of his clothes.
She wanted to be angry and angry, but what qualifications did she have to show off her power now?
In fact, she has always known that her name is Liu Axiang and that she has her own biological parents. But she would rather be Mu Shaoqin's daughter and the noble head of Ruian County.
It's a pity that all this was ruined by the girl named Nianfu. Because she was Mu Shaoqin's biological child, and although she could still be called Ruian, she was no longer the county owner. She was even regarded as
Good luck, girl.
Ruian wanted to be dissatisfied, but the few months she spent practicing meditation in Baoguang Temple were enough to teach her a lot of good manners. At the very least, she knew that no one would tolerate her losing her temper at this moment.
The journey out of the East City Gate went smoothly. Sun Xi's luggage and the gifts he had brought for others had been dragged there by the coachman. The housekeeper of Prince Ping's Mansion also said goodbye and left.
Since Ruian was a new daughter-in-law, Sun Xi took good care of her and still let her ride in the car alone. However, not long after walking, she met a random person on the road and wanted to give her family members a ride.
This is a good thing to be kind to others, and besides, they are going to take a boat at the next intersection, which will only take less than half a day, so Sun Xi naturally agreed.
But as soon as the female family member got into the car, both of them were startled. What a coincidence. It was Mrs. Tan.
After a while, Ruian forced out a smile and said calmly, "Madam, you're fine."
Mrs. Tan put away the embarrassment in her eyes and replied, "You can't survive now?"
Ruian didn't bother to pretend anymore, he didn't even smile, "You don't seem to be doing very well."
She had just seen that the merchant wanted to free up the carriage to put goods, and insisted that Mrs. Tan sit on the shaft of the carriage. Mrs. Tan did not want to, so he took her carriage.
Mrs. Tan was slightly annoyed, and suddenly said bluntly, "Yes, I was forced to have no choice but to get married and leave the capital, but I will still find a chance to come back. As for you, if you are kicked out like this, I'm afraid you will never see anyone else in this life."
Do you want to go back to the capital again? Looking at you, the person you want to marry is not a powerful person, right?"
This sentence touched Ruian's sore spot, and his expression suddenly changed.
Although stuttering is not a disability, it is still a flaw after all, and she is not a biological child of the Sun family. If she could, why would she be willing to marry such a person?
Mrs. Tan looked at her face and felt that she felt much more balanced.
Under the pressure of Nian Fuming and secretly, her life was extremely difficult. Several farms were taken back by the Kang brothers, and she only had some cash, clothes and jewelry.
As soon as the brothers found out about the house that Lu Dashi occupied, they immediately came to persecute him. In the capital, houses are so coveted. How many things can be solved with one more house?
Mrs. Tan saw that the small courtyard could not be taken back from Lu Dashi anyway, so she simply sold the house to her brother at a low price of three hundred taels of silver, and hid after collecting the money.
No matter how arrogant and rude Lu Dashi was, he was just a slave. How could he dare to offend the official? In the end, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and take his wife and children away. Even Lu’s mother’s bones were not buried and were thrown into the yizhuang, and he didn’t care.
No, I just looked around for Mrs. Tan’s theory.
Mrs. Tan saw that she could not stay in the capital, so she chose a widower as her husband, and wanted to leave the capital to escape.
This businessman's surname was Lu Mingxing. His business was neither good nor bad, and his person was neither good nor bad. He didn't have any big bad habits, but he valued profit over righteousness. But there was only one good thing, and he had no son.
However, since his two daughters were already married, he didn't really want to have another son to work as a cow or horse, so he hit it off with Mrs. Tan, who was used to leisure and had a lot of money.
The two got married quickly. They planned to go back to their hometown from selling goods in the capital to resell, but they still had to come over in the second half of the year.
It was also crucial that Mrs. Tan fell in love with him. She was not willing to go back to a small town to live out her life. She also wanted to make some waves if she had the chance, so when she met Ruian by chance, she tried her best to do it.
Coming out of the east of the city, you have to pass through the Big and Small Song Mountains.
Lu Xing was a businessman, and he always paid attention to good luck in everything. Every time he passed by the foot of two mountains, he would pay homage to the land at the bottom of the mountain, burn incense sticks, and offer some fruits to bless him a smooth journey.
Today is no exception. Please ask Sun Xi to wait a moment, and he will come with your respects.
Since they had to go their separate ways after passing the mountain pass, Sun Xi, a good man, stayed true to his word, so his good intentions were naturally fulfilled. After the carriage stopped, he simply asked people to stop at a good place, and enthusiastically asked Ruian and Mrs. Tan to get out of the car and take a look at the scenery.
In early summer, large swathes of emerald green lotus leaves have sprouted up in Qixing Lake, but it’s still early to see the flowers.
Mrs. Tan and Ruian Ruian felt sad for a moment. They both remembered how proud they were of coming here to enjoy the flowers and go on a boat cruise when they were rich and prosperous in the past, and they felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, I saw a group of servants driving two cars past. Judging from their distinct costumes, they were obviously two families.
One of the family members said, "Our lady has prepared things, why can't we use them?"
Another family member said, "It's not that yours can't be used, it's just that our princess is used to using her own stuff, so don't be surprised if she doesn't feel comfortable using other items."
The servant smiled and said, "Of course not. Our young lady also wants to learn cooking skills from your princess. I'm afraid that if your princess's things are good, she will buy a set when she goes back."
"What is this? It's not like you, Mr. He, can't afford it..."
The two families left chatting and laughing, while Mrs. Tan on the side was so jealous that her teeth were sore.
He whispered to Ruian, "Did you see that I have two carts of cooking supplies alone? How much is your dowry? This person is so angry when compared to others."
Ruian glanced at her and snorted, "I still have two cars of dowry, what do you have?"
Mrs. Tan was choked and speechless. Neither of them was in the mood to enjoy the scenery. They got in the car and waited for Lu Xing to come back before leaving.
But when they were about to break up, Ruian suddenly said, "Seeing as you have talked so much along the way, I will leave you an address. If you want, leave one too. At least we got to know each other. I also called you mother for a few days, so that's it.
It’s a fate.”
Mrs. Tan looked at her again, sneered softly, left her address, and whispered, "Don't worry, no matter what benefits you get in the future, I, the mother, will not forget you."
The two looked at each other tacitly and parted ways as if nothing had happened.
There is no chance now, but if they wait until one day, they must come to see Prince Ping's Mansion and see the joke of the mother and daughter!
At this time, by the Qixing Lake, the Nianfu Orthodox Church congratulated Fengniang on steaming fish.
"Speaking of simplicity, there is nothing simpler than steaming. As long as the ingredients are fresh enough, you only need to rub a little salt, add some chives and ginger slices, wait until the water boils, and put the plate in. This sauce can also be used together.
Put it down to steam for a while, then pour it on the fish, and the taste will be more moist."
"Then let's give it a try." It was not He Fengniang who said this, but Kang Jierong.
She was really shameless. When she heard that Miss He's family invited Nian Fu to go out for fun, she met her uninvited. In front of outsiders, Nian Fu couldn't help but drive her away, and He Fengniang couldn't help it.
There was no need for her to follow.
Kang Jierong had been trying her best to please He Fengniang. While doing it, she said, "I'm clumsy, I'm afraid I can't compare to Miss Eight." She deliberately looked like she was in a hurry, either knocking this over or breaking that, and even being surprised.
, pretending to be innocent and cute, I almost vomited when I read the blessings.
Needless to say, she was so petty. It was just that she heard that there were several young men in the He family who were not married, so she was thinking about it.
After becoming the Lord of the Township, Kang Jierong's confidence greatly increased, and she intuitively felt that taking fame and wealth was like picking something out of a bag. She thought that as long as she could get familiar with the door of the He family first, and then walk around more, with her own methods, even if the Queen Mother did not help, maybe
She can also recruit a good son-in-law by herself. After all, she is now considered famous and has status, right?
Nianfu didn't bother to look at her flattering look, so he went back to the tent to rest on the excuse that he was a little tired.
Xue Li, the girl next to her, considerately handed over a cup of tea and asked, "Are you tired, girl? Do you want me to give you a squeeze?"
Nianfu nodded with a smile. Seeing that Liu'er was highly motivated and put in a good position, this girl had been working very hard recently. She had learned a new massage job and would show off from time to time.
Subordinates work hard, and leaders should also encourage them. They lie down after chanting blessings and want her to squeeze their shoulders. But at this moment, chaos suddenly breaks out. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
