Ruan Mianmian understood that her eldest uncle and her second uncle were really crazy about doting on their younger sisters. This meant that they planned to move their mother to a courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ding'an Marquis Mansion. But could the Yancong Courtyard accommodate so many things?
"In addition to clothes and jewelry, what I gave to the princess were also many knick-knacks collected by the second master during his travels."
"I know, thank you for your help." Ruan Mianmian gave Jiu'er a wink.
Jiu'er knowingly took out a silver note and handed it to Zhou Sheng: "The princess gave it to you."
Zhou Sheng waved his hands and refused: "No, no, we are working for the uncle and the second uncle, and we will not receive any reward for no merit."
"Take it and share it with everyone."
"Then I will thank the princess for everyone."
Ruan Mianmian walked away and went to find Zhou Yunning, and saw that she was busy asking people to carry all the boxes into the house and put them away.
"Mom, there are so many things."
"It's not much. I'm afraid they will keep sending it in the future." Zhou Yunning was also helpless, "If they send it again, we won't be able to put it in the smoke cage courtyard."
"Are you going to send more?" Ruan Mianmian blinked, "We really don't need so many things."
Zhou Yunning smiled and sighed: "The eldest brother and the second brother have not changed. They just like to crazily stuff things into me."
"Mom, I hear your tone sounds like you're showing off."
"In the past, I quite liked owning many objects, even just looking at them made me happy. But over the past few years, I have become indifferent to them. Life is just a six-foot bed, and death is just a six-sided coffin. Why do I need so many things?
"
"You're still young, don't sound like you've seen through the world." Ruan Mianmian couldn't see Zhou Yuning being like this. She waved her little fist, "We still need to open an embroidery workshop and do a big business. My mother wants to earn more than her grandfather.
silver."
"Okay, okay." Zhou Yunning touched Xiaotuanzi's head, "Mom, I listen to you."
Ruan Mianmian took Zhou Yunning's hand: "Mother, please take the time to tell your two uncles that you should stop sending things to us, especially in such a grand way. It's really not good."
Zhou Yunning was stunned: "If you don't tell me, I will tell them not to send anything again. It's just that you can't say it, why is it bad?"
"My uncles have good intentions and want to let your grandparents know that you have your mother's family to support you, but you are not the only daughter-in-law of them. Not to mention Chen Wanyu, there is also a second aunt..."
At this point, Ruan Mianmian stopped. Seeing Zhou Yuning's look of sudden realization, she didn't need to say anything more.
"I was negligent. I won't let them send anything in the future, lest I get into trouble with my second sister-in-law over this matter."
"It's good that mother has an idea." Ruan Mianmian stood up, "I'll go to Fu'an Hall to pay my respects to my grandfather and grandmother."
"Go ahead."
At this moment, in Lingyun Courtyard, Gu Qingrou looked unhappy. When Ruan Zhu came in, she didn't get up and just sat there.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Zhu walked in and saw Gu Qingrou with a dark face.
"It's nothing." Gu Qingrou said, but the look on her face was completely different.
Ruan Zhu glanced at Gu Qingrou. Since she didn't say anything, forget it. He walked past her. Unexpectedly, she got up and followed him.
When he reached the secret room, Ruan Zhu stopped and didn't look back: "If you have something to say, I'll be busy if nothing else."
Glancing at the two closed doors of the secret room, Gu Qingrou knew that Ruan Zhu was going in, and no one was allowed in there except himself.
Isn't it just a lot of books and desks? It's almost like a small study room. I don't know if there is any treasure hidden there. But she thought to herself that Gu Qingrou still spoke, because if she didn't say anything, she wouldn't have the chance to say it.
"Master, what do you think Zhou Yunning's mother's family is? They sent a lot of things early this morning."
"Sending something." Ruan Zhu was surprised, "Is anyone from my mother's family coming?"
Gu Qingrou looked at Ruan Zhu: "Don't you feel strange after hearing this?"
Ruan Zhu half-turned around: "What's so surprising? You also have a natal family."
"I'm different. I married into the Hou Mansion from my mother's family. Even though I was married far away, when my third brother married Yun Ning, I didn't see half of her family present. For five or six years, everyone thought Zhou Yun Ning was an orphan. How come she suddenly
Just come out of your parents’ house?”
"These have nothing to do with us."
Ruan Zhu turned around impatiently and was about to leave when Gu Qingrou grabbed him: "Listen to me."
"Tell me, tell me." Ruan Zhu suppressed his temper and listened.
"There are many big boxes. Zhou Yunning's natal family is so generous. They carried them into the house like dowry."
"So what? Who knows what the gift is?"
"I don't know what the gift was. I heard that I accidentally rummaged through a box at the door. Many servants were dumbfounded. There was a box full of jewelry."
Ruan Zhu's eyes flashed: "The Zhou family is quite generous."
Gu Qingrou said enviously: "Yes, I heard that it is not an ordinary thing, it looks like a rare item. I wonder what is in the other boxes?"
"How do I know? If you want to know, just go and see for yourself." After Ruan Zhu finished speaking, he walked towards the secret room and ducked in. The moment he closed the door, a light flashed in Ruan Zhu's eyes.
"That's right." Gu Qingrou turned around excitedly after hearing what Ruan Zhu said, "I'll go to the Yancong Courtyard to have a look."
In Fu'an Hall, Ruan Geng and his wife were a little surprised when they heard the old housekeeper's report, but they didn't take it seriously. It was not uncommon for their daughter-in-law's family to send things.
At this moment, Mother Yun's laughter came from outside: "The Princess is here, and everyone in Fu'an Hall is thinking about you."
"Aunt Yun was joking. She thought that I was a lie, but she thought that the snacks were real." Ruan Mianmian replied with a smile.
"Haha, the princess is joking." Aunty Yun stepped forward and took Ruan Mianmian's little hand, "What a coincidence, the old marquis and the old lady are both sitting in the hall."
"Grandpa, are you taking a bath today?" Ruan Mianmian asked as he walked towards the hall.
As he walked up the steps in front of the hall door, Xiao Naituanzi saw his grandfather and grandmother sitting inside, smiling at him.
"Mianmian, give it to grandpa. Grandma is here to say hello." Ruan Mianmian let go of Grandma Yun's hand and stepped across the threshold and said loudly.
"Little darling, come quickly, grandma is thinking of you." Mrs. Ruan opened her arms towards Ruan Mianmian.
The little girl snuggled into her grandmother's arms: "I'm thinking about my grandmother too."
After hearing this, the old Marquis coughed twice, and Xiao Naituanzi added with interest: "There is also grandfather."
"Things changed very quickly." Ruan Geng couldn't help but smile, "I guess your mother kicked you out because she thought you were in the way."
Ruan Mianmian snickered secretly in her heart. It seemed that her grandfather was also very curious and would not go around asking for information.
"Mom is busy packing the things sent by my uncles." Ruan Mianmian obediently followed Ruan Geng's words.
"Family love cannot be measured by things." Mrs. Ruan said casually. This chapter has been completed!
