Ming's name is a concubine. According to the rules, she can only have one third-class girl and two rough servant girls to serve her. However, she has a special status and is a good concubine given by the emperor. Therefore, the servants around her are upgraded to a second-class servant. Waiting girls, a third-class girl, and two rough-and-tumble girls, but since Jinse came to her side, the Ming family not only dotes on her and treats her as her own daughter, but also specially begged a first-class girl from her ancestors He gave her the title, not to mention other girls, even his own daughter-in-law would give this girl a certain degree of favor. Such pampering naturally cultivated Jinse's delicate and savage temperament.
Ming nodded and said, "Yes, but do you know what's so lovable about you?" Without waiting for Jinse's answer, she simply continued, "It's because you are much smarter than other girls and know how to understand me." "I made you arrogant, and you became arrogant, but have you ever thought about why I want you to be arrogant?"
After Jin Se retreated, Ming looked at Hua Zhuo and said, "Eighth Miss..."
Er sighs that the eighth sister of Rong'an Hall has eight exquisite orifices, one more than the seven orifices. Every time she retreats and advances, she actually has the upper hand over her aunt. It's pity that she, the second cousin sister-in-law, broke her leg running back and forth. Until now, I understand the key to this. No wonder the eighth sister just left at that time. She didn't have the attitude of coming to ask for help at all. She had already planned the next move in her relationship.
Hua Zhuo didn't expect Ming to solve this problem immediately, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Ming and second cousin."
Ming nodded and said, "Yes, but do you know what's so lovable about you?" Without waiting for Jinse's answer, she simply continued, "It's because you are much smarter than other girls and know how to understand me." "I made you arrogant, and you became arrogant, but have you ever thought about why I want you to be arrogant?"
As he spoke, he hit his forehead heavily on the ground. Although it had been cold recently, Ming's house had not been carpeted yet, so his forehead hit the cold and hard ground directly, making a muffled sound.

Such pampering naturally cultivated Jinse's delicate and savage temperament.
Jinse thought about the days when she was pampered, tears shed again, and choked up: "My aunt said... because Jinse is lovable..."
Seeing her reacting so quickly, Ming felt even more in love with her. She also liked Qingsha who was sitting with Qiqiao just now, and said, "I'm going to the main room. It's not convenient for Jinse to follow, so just come here." Serve.”
Hua Zhuo didn't expect Ming to solve this problem immediately, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Ming and second cousin."
"Aunt Ming." Hua Zhuo quickly changed his words.
Ming nodded and said, "Yes, but do you know what's so lovable about you?" Without waiting for Jinse's answer, she simply continued, "It's because you are much smarter than other girls and know how to understand me." "I made you arrogant, and you became arrogant, but have you ever thought about why I want you to be arrogant?"
Ming thought for a moment and said: "This is a big problem. Let's do this. I am a woman and I can't think of any solution. I will wait until your second cousin comes and ask again. He is a monkey. I love hanging out all day and night. I have many friends and a wide circle of people, so I might be able to persuade a few big businessmen to give me money."
After thinking about this, Mrs. Liang felt ashamed. It was just that she couldn't compare to Mingshi. But she was still a few years older than Hua Zhuo, but she was not even better than this sister-in-law. Could these extra years of life be like living like a dog? went. When Hua Huan asked her to secretly send a note to Hua Zhuo to express his goodwill, she was quite dissatisfied. Now she realizes that her husband still has good taste.

I love hanging out all day and night. I have many friends and a wide circle of people, so I might be able to persuade a few big businessmen to give me money."
"Auntie... Jinse realizes her mistake..."
When I came out of Ming's house, I immediately saw Qiqiao and a girl sitting on the porch, chattering non-stop. They were so affectionate as if they were sisters, and Hua Zhuo laughed again. Get up, this girl lives up to the clever word in her name. In just a short time, she has made friends with the girl next to Ming.
Ming nodded and said, "Yes, but do you know what's so lovable about you?" Without waiting for Jinse's answer, she simply continued, "It's because you are much smarter than other girls and know how to understand me." "I made you arrogant, and you became arrogant, but have you ever thought about why I want you to be arrogant?"
So when Mingshi asked, Hua Zhuo said honestly and bluntly that he was short of money.
Qiqiao immediately knelt down and said with a smile, "Aunt Ming is so ridiculous. Qiqiao is just a little clever."
"It's for..." Jinse's nature is smart after all. She was just used to being arrogant before and couldn't restrain herself for a while. When Ming mentioned it like this, she seemed to be enlightened. Yes, my aunt's original intention was for her to pretend to be... With a black face, she protected her aunt from those people she didn't want to see, but she was so complacent that she forgot this time that Miss Eight was not one of those people in the side family who wanted to curry favor with or take advantage of her. Not only did the Eighth Miss come from the direct line, but she was also of great use to the aunt. Finally, the Eighth Miss came to her door automatically, but she scolded her and left. As a result, the Auntie's original initiative turned into a passive one, and the one who was begged became the one who asked for help. .
"Aunt Ming." Hua Zhuo quickly changed his words.
Mingshi also spoke at this time: "Since Miss Eight doesn't blame you, just get up."

Get up, this girl lives up to the clever word in her name. In just a short time, she has made friends with the girl next to Ming.
"Auntie... Jinse realizes her mistake..."
After waking up, Jinse cried bitterly and knelt down again. First he kowtowed to Ming, then turned to Hua Zhuo and cried: "Eighth Miss, it's all my fault. Please don't blame your aunt, Eighth Miss." On the head, Jinse kowtows to you to apologize."
Ming was indeed in a good mood, her brows once again revealed her charm, and she said with a smile: "I can barely be considered your elder, so calling you Zhuo'er doesn't count as a big deal. Don't call me auntie, even though I'm not qualified to be you." She is an eldest aunt, but I think she deserves to be called an aunt."
"Zhuo'er, I wonder if your parents are in good health lately? The Fourth Master was supposed to return to Beijing this month to report on his work, but why did I hear that he submitted an official document to the Ministry of Personnel and refused to come back? But what's the problem? You and I Tell me, maybe I have some ideas." Ming asked with concern.
"Auntie... Jinse realizes her mistake..."
So when Mingshi asked, Hua Zhuo said honestly and bluntly that he was short of money.
In fact, Hua Zhuo didn't know much about building the river embankment, but she knew her father's determination. She would never leave until the river embankment was repaired. She also felt that her father had done the right thing, otherwise there would be many floods next year. She had personally experienced the tragedy of innocent people being harmed. She didn't want to do this before because she knew there was nothing she could do, but now that she had the chance, she must help her father.
After waking up, Jinse cried bitterly and knelt down again. First he kowtowed to Ming, then turned to Hua Zhuo and cried: "Eighth Miss, it's all my fault. Please don't blame your aunt, Eighth Miss." On the head, Jinse kowtows to you to apologize."
I sighed at my aunt's good intentions, and it turned out that Du Chong Jin Se was deliberately trying to train a arrogant girl to be a black face, so that my aunt could hide behind and pretend to be a red face, sing and harmonize, and make everyone in the house docile. , no wonder my aunt has been hiding behind the scenes these years and has nothing to do with her hands. However, in the hearts of everyone in the house, her status is not given to Mrs. Hui at all.
Hua Zhuo didn't hide anything from her, so he told Hua Xu's thoughts one by one. There was nothing to hide. In fact, Ming should have known about it when his father's official document arrived at the Ministry of Personnel. Now that she asked, she would not know it. It was just a gesture of goodwill to Rongantang, saying that if there was anything she could do to help, she would definitely help.

As he spoke, he hit his forehead heavily on the ground. Although it had been cold recently, Ming's house had not been carpeted yet, so his forehead hit the cold and hard ground directly, making a muffled sound.
Mingshi smiled and said: "They are all members of the family. How can I say thank you? By the way, you came to Rongchang Hall today for the first time and met your ancestors, but you haven't gone to meet your eldest aunt yet. At this point..." She glanced at He glanced at the hourglass placed in the corner and said, "It's almost dinner time. Let's go. Aunt Ming will take you to the main room to have dinner."
In fact, Hua Zhuo didn't know much about building the river embankment, but she knew her father's determination. She would never leave until the river embankment was repaired. She also felt that her father had done the right thing, otherwise there would be many floods next year. She had personally experienced the tragedy of innocent people being harmed.

Hua Zhuo didn't expect Ming to solve this problem immediately, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Ming and second cousin."
"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."
Naturally, other aunts are not qualified to call her by her name directly, but Mingshi still has this face, not to mention that she also has Mingshi's request. If she doesn't show her kindness at this time, she will show her kindness at any time.
Ming's name is a concubine. According to the rules, she can only have one third-class girl and two rough servant girls to serve her. However, she has a special status and is a good concubine given by the emperor. Therefore, the servants around her are upgraded to a second-class servant.

Such pampering naturally cultivated Jinse's delicate and savage temperament.
Hua Zhuo quickly stood up and helped her up, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take responsibility for what my sister is doing. I don't blame you. My sister is devoted to Aunt Ming. Don't I know it? I just want to ask my sister to understand my difficulties." I had to leave at that time. Oops, my forehead is red. Get up quickly and apply cold water on it, otherwise it will swell and you won't be able to see people."
"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."
When I came out of Ming's house, I immediately saw Qiqiao and a girl sitting on the porch, chattering non-stop. They were so affectionate as if they were sisters, and Hua Zhuo laughed again. Get up, this girl lives up to the clever word in her name. In just a short time, she has made friends with the girl next to Ming.
Mingshi also spoke at this time: "Since Miss Eight doesn't blame you, just get up."
Jinse thought about the days when she was pampered, tears shed again, and choked up: "My aunt said... because Jinse is lovable..."
It was only a few steps from the west courtyard to the main house. Just walking in the courtyard, Hua Zhuo heard a crisp and sweet laughter coming from the house. He listened carefully and saw who it was if it wasn't Hua Yan. It seemed that she was really happy to see Zhuang Zheng.
Hua Zhuo paused for a moment, and suddenly thought that the current situation was the same as that of Aunt Yao. She also competed with the legitimate daughter of Rongchang Hall. Thinking back to what happened to Aunt Yao back then, she shuddered and decided to do it this time. You must hold Ming's thigh well.
Seeing Mingshi and Hua Zhuo coming out one after another, the two girls hurriedly came forward to greet her. Mingshi looked at Qiqiao for a few times, then smiled at Hua Zhuo and said, "You girl, I think you are more lovable than Jinse." I like it, I wonder how you trained it | taught it."
In fact, Hua Zhuo didn't know much about building the river embankment, but she knew her father's determination. She would never leave until the river embankment was repaired. She also felt that her father had done the right thing, otherwise there would be many floods next year. She had personally experienced the tragedy of innocent people being harmed. She didn't want to do this before because she knew there was nothing she could do, but now that she had the chance, she must help her father.

Don't I know it? I just want to ask my sister to understand my difficulties." I had to leave at that time. Oops, my forehead is red. Get up quickly and apply cold water on it, otherwise it will swell and you won't be able to see people."
Jinse then got up from the ground and said, "Jinse, thank you so much, Miss Eight."
Hua Zhuo quickly stood up and helped her up, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take responsibility for what my sister is doing. I don't blame you. My sister is devoted to Aunt Ming. Don't I know it? I just want to ask my sister to understand my difficulties." I had to leave at that time. Oops, my forehead is red. Get up quickly and apply cold water on it, otherwise it will swell and you won't be able to see people."
Ming nodded and said, "Yes, but do you know what's so lovable about you?" Without waiting for Jinse's answer, she simply continued, "It's because you are much smarter than other girls and know how to understand me." "I made you arrogant, and you became arrogant, but have you ever thought about why I want you to be arrogant?"
So when Mingshi asked, Hua Zhuo said honestly and bluntly that he was short of money.
Ming saw that her forehead was indeed red, and she felt sorry for her, and said: "Go down, you don't need to wait here anymore."
After thinking about this, Mrs. Liang felt ashamed. It was just that she couldn't compare to Mingshi. But she was still a few years older than Hua Zhuo, but she was not even better than this sister-in-law. Could these extra years of life be like living like a dog? went. When Hua Huan asked her to secretly send a note to Hua Zhuo to express his goodwill, she was quite dissatisfied. Now she realizes that her husband still has good taste.
Mrs. Liang stared at it coldly for a long time, feeling just amazed in her heart.
She didn't understand how to build the river embankment, but she knew that such a big project only meant two words: money and people. Huainan Mansion is not short of labor, but it is short of money. Otherwise, why would my father lose face and deal with those profit-seeking businessmen every day, just to persuade these people to donate money to repair the river embankment. It's just such a thankless thing. No businessman is willing to do his best. Even if he gives out money, it's just for the sake of Hua Xu being his parents' official, giving him thirty or fifty taels for the occasion. She left Huainan Mansion. At that time, I heard Aunt Shuangcheng say privately that without one hundred thousand taels of silver, there would be no way to build this river embankment. At that time, Aunt Shuangcheng was taking inventory of the inner treasury, thinking about what things could be sold and exchanged for money to be posted in Xiuhe Yinli. Although Rongantang still has a lot of foundation, it does not have much cash. Even if the seller is willing to use the money to subsidize the repair of the river, he can only scrape together twenty to thirty thousand taels in a short while, which is still less than one hundred thousand taels. Not even close.

Hua Zhuo said quickly: "Auntie, just call me Zhuo'er."
Hua Zhuo lowered his head and smiled, knowing that Mingshi reciprocated the favor, and what he said about the money just now was false, and it was true that he took her to see Zhuang Zheng. Calculating the time, Hua Yan should have persuaded Hui Shi to invite Zhuang Zheng to the main room. He was probably talking at the moment. Ming Shi took her there now, which was exactly the right time.

After waking up, Jinse cried bitterly and knelt down again. First he kowtowed to Ming, then turned to Hua Zhuo and cried: "Eighth Miss, it's all my fault. Please don't blame your aunt, Eighth Miss." On the head, Jinse kowtows to you to apologize."
After thinking about this, Mrs. Liang felt ashamed. It was just that she couldn't compare to Mingshi.

Such pampering naturally cultivated Jinse's delicate and savage temperament.
Ming saw that her forehead was indeed red, and she felt sorry for her, and said: "Go down, you don't need to wait here anymore."
Ming thought for a moment and said: "This is a big problem. Let's do this. I am a woman and I can't think of any solution. I will wait until your second cousin comes and ask again. He is a monkey. I love hanging out all day and night. I have many friends and a wide circle of people, so I might be able to persuade a few big businessmen to give me money."
Hua Zhuo quickly stood up and helped her up, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take responsibility for what my sister is doing. I don't blame you. My sister is devoted to Aunt Ming. Don't I know it? I just want to ask my sister to understand my difficulties." I had to leave at that time. Oops, my forehead is red. Get up quickly and apply cold water on it, otherwise it will swell and you won't be able to see people."
Qingsha was overjoyed and quickly responded, following closely behind Ming. She was just a third-class girl, but later Jinse was promoted to a first-class position, and the second-class position became vacant. She looked at it eagerly, but she couldn't please the Ming family, and was suppressed by Jinse. I have a good relationship with another maid who is a rough messenger, and I am trying to get that maid to be promoted. Qingsha is blocking the middle, which is an eyesore. I usually have a hard time, and I have no chance to show off in front of the Ming family, so I have been unable to get promoted. Going up, it was rare that Jinse got into trouble today, but unexpectedly, it gave him a chance to serve her closely. Apart from being happy, he also felt a little more grateful to Qiqiao, knowing that he had taken advantage of this sister today.
Hua Zhuo didn't expect Ming to solve this problem immediately, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Ming and second cousin."
Ming was indeed in a good mood, her brows once again revealed her charm, and she said with a smile: "I can barely be considered your elder, so calling you Zhuo'er doesn't count as a big deal. Don't call me auntie, even though I'm not qualified to be you." She is an eldest aunt, but I think she deserves to be called an aunt."
Jinse then got up from the ground and said, "Jinse, thank you so much, Miss Eight."
After Jin Se retreated, Ming looked at Hua Zhuo and said, "Eighth Miss..."
This change of words is equivalent to a preliminary alliance between Rongantang, Ming and Hua Huan. Of course, Ming will not discuss the specific conditions with Hua Zhuo. The person who makes the decision must be Hua Xu, but Hua Zhuo The role of this bridge can be regarded as playing its due role.
She didn't understand how to build the river embankment, but she knew that such a big project only meant two words: money and people. Huainan Mansion is not short of labor, but it is short of money.

She looked at it eagerly, but she couldn't please the Ming family, and was suppressed by Jinse. I have a good relationship with another maid who is a rough messenger, and I am trying to get that maid to be promoted. Qingsha is blocking the middle, which is an eyesore. I usually have a hard time, and I have no chance to show off in front of the Ming family, so I have been unable to get promoted. Going up, it was rare that Jinse got into trouble today, but unexpectedly, it gave him a chance to serve her closely. Apart from being happy, he also felt a little more grateful to Qiqiao, knowing that he had taken advantage of this sister today.
Hua Zhuo quickly stood up and helped her up, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take responsibility for what my sister is doing. I don't blame you. My sister is devoted to Aunt Ming. Don't I know it? I just want to ask my sister to understand my difficulties." I had to leave at that time. Oops, my forehead is red. Get up quickly and apply cold water on it, otherwise it will swell and you won't be able to see people."

Get up quickly and apply cold water on it, otherwise it will swell and you won't be able to see people."
Ming thought for a moment and said: "This is a big problem. Let's do this. I am a woman and I can't think of any solution. I will wait until your second cousin comes and ask again. He is a monkey. I love hanging out all day and night. I have many friends and a wide circle of people, so I might be able to persuade a few big businessmen to give me money."
"Auntie... Jinse realizes her mistake..."
Ming nodded and said, "Yes, but do you know what's so lovable about you?" Without waiting for Jinse's answer, she simply continued, "It's because you are much smarter than other girls and know how to understand me." "I made you arrogant, and you became arrogant, but have you ever thought about why I want you to be arrogant?"
Er sighs that the eighth sister of Rong'an Hall has eight exquisite orifices, one more than the seven orifices. Every time she retreats and advances, she actually has the upper hand over her aunt. It's pity that she, the second cousin sister-in-law, broke her leg running back and forth. Until now, I understand the key to this. No wonder the eighth sister just left at that time. She didn't have the attitude of coming to ask for help at all. She had already planned the next move in her relationship.
Naturally, other aunts are not qualified to call her by her name directly, but Mingshi still has this face, not to mention that she also has Mingshi's request. If she doesn't show her kindness at this time, she will show her kindness at any time.
Seeing Mingshi and Hua Zhuo coming out one after another, the two girls hurriedly came forward to greet her. Mingshi looked at Qiqiao for a few times, then smiled at Hua Zhuo and said, "You girl, I think you are more lovable than Jinse." I like it, I wonder how you trained it | taught it."
Hua Zhuo didn't expect Ming to solve this problem immediately, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Ming and second cousin."
Hua Zhuo lowered his head and smiled, knowing that Mingshi reciprocated the favor, and what he said about the money just now was false, and it was true that he took her to see Zhuang Zheng. Calculating the time, Hua Yan should have persuaded Hui Shi to invite Zhuang Zheng to the main room. He was probably talking at the moment. Ming Shi took her there now, which was exactly the right time.
In fact, Hua Zhuo didn't know much about building the river embankment, but she knew her father's determination. She would never leave until the river embankment was repaired. She also felt that her father had done the right thing, otherwise there would be many floods next year. She had personally experienced the tragedy of innocent people being harmed. She didn't want to do this before because she knew there was nothing she could do, but now that she had the chance, she must help her father.
It was only a few steps from the west courtyard to the main house. Just walking in the courtyard, Hua Zhuo heard a crisp and sweet laughter coming from the house. He listened carefully and saw who it was if it wasn't Hua Yan. It seemed that she was really happy to see Zhuang Zheng.
Ming was indeed in a good mood, her brows once again revealed her charm, and she said with a smile: "I can barely be considered your elder, so calling you Zhuo'er doesn't count as a big deal. Don't call me auntie, even though I'm not qualified to be you." She is an eldest aunt, but I think she deserves to be called an aunt."
Qiqiao immediately knelt down and said with a smile, "Aunt Ming is so ridiculous. Qiqiao is just a little clever."
"Aunt Ming." Hua Zhuo quickly changed his words.
As he spoke, he hit his forehead heavily on the ground. Although it had been cold recently, Ming's house had not been carpeted yet, so his forehead hit the cold and hard ground directly, making a muffled sound.

She didn't want to do this before because she knew there was nothing she could do, but now that she had the chance, she must help her father.
This change of words is equivalent to a preliminary alliance between Rongantang, Ming and Hua Huan. Of course, Ming will not discuss the specific conditions with Hua Zhuo. The person who makes the decision must be Hua Xu, but Hua Zhuo The role of this bridge can be regarded as playing its due role.
"Aunt Ming." Hua Zhuo quickly changed his words.
Ming saw that her forehead was indeed red, and she felt sorry for her, and said: "Go down, you don't need to wait here anymore."

"It's for..." Jinse's nature is smart after all. She was just used to being arrogant before and couldn't restrain herself for a while. When Ming mentioned it like this, she seemed to be enlightened. Yes, my aunt's original intention was for her to pretend to be... With a black face, she protected her aunt from those people she didn't want to see, but she was so complacent that she forgot this time that Miss Eight was not one of those people in the side family who wanted to curry favor with or take advantage of her. Not only did the Eighth Miss come from the direct line, but she was also of great use to the aunt. Finally, the Eighth Miss came to her door automatically, but she scolded her and left. As a result, the Auntie's original initiative turned into a passive one, and the one who was begged became the one who asked for help. .

"Zhuo'er, I wonder if your parents are in good health lately? The Fourth Master was supposed to return to Beijing this month to report on his work, but why did I hear that he submitted an official document to the Ministry of Personnel and refused to come back? But what's the problem? You and I Tell me, maybe I have some ideas." Ming asked with concern.

Hua Zhuo didn't hide anything from her, so he told Hua Xu's thoughts one by one. There was nothing to hide. In fact, Ming should have known about it when his father's official document arrived at the Ministry of Personnel. Now that she asked, she would not know it. It was just a gesture of goodwill to Rongantang, saying that if there was anything she could do to help, she would definitely help.
After Jin Se retreated, Ming looked at Hua Zhuo and said, "Eighth Miss..."
Hua Zhuo knew that when Ming said that she was lovable, she was praising Qiqiao for her intelligence, so he smiled and said, "She is born with skillful hands, a clever mind, and a clever mouth. I didn't teach her. If I have this ability, that would be great."

Ming saw that her forehead was indeed red, and she felt sorry for her, and said: "Go down, you don't need to wait here anymore."
"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."
Jinse then got up from the ground and said, "Jinse, thank you so much, Miss Eight."
"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."
Qingsha was overjoyed and quickly responded, following closely behind Ming. She was just a third-class girl, but later Jinse was promoted to a first-class position, and the second-class position became vacant. She looked at it eagerly, but she couldn't please the Ming family, and was suppressed by Jinse.

Apart from being happy, he also felt a little more grateful to Qiqiao, knowing that he had taken advantage of this sister today.
I sighed at my aunt's good intentions, and it turned out that Du Chong Jin Se was deliberately trying to train a arrogant girl to be a black face, so that my aunt could hide behind and pretend to be a red face, sing and harmonize, and make everyone in the house docile. , no wonder my aunt has been hiding behind the scenes these years and has nothing to do with her hands. However, in the hearts of everyone in the house, her status is not given to Mrs. Hui at all.
After waking up, Jinse cried bitterly and knelt down again. First he kowtowed to Ming, then turned to Hua Zhuo and cried: "Eighth Miss, it's all my fault. Please don't blame your aunt, Eighth Miss." On the head, Jinse kowtows to you to apologize."
"Zhuo'er, I wonder if your parents are in good health lately? The Fourth Master was supposed to return to Beijing this month to report on his work, but why did I hear that he submitted an official document to the Ministry of Personnel and refused to come back? But what's the problem? You and I Tell me, maybe I have some ideas." Ming asked with concern.
Seeing her reacting so quickly, Ming felt even more in love with her. She also liked Qingsha who was sitting with Qiqiao just now, and said, "I'm going to the main room. It's not convenient for Jinse to follow, so just come here." Serve.”

Jinse thought about the days when she was pampered, tears shed again, and choked up: "My aunt said... because Jinse is lovable..."
Jinse then got up from the ground and said, "Jinse, thank you so much, Miss Eight."
"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."

She didn't understand how to build the river embankment, but she knew that such a big project only meant two words: money and people. Huainan Mansion is not short of labor, but it is short of money. Otherwise, why would my father lose face and deal with those profit-seeking businessmen every day, just to persuade these people to donate money to repair the river embankment. It's just such a thankless thing. No businessman is willing to do his best. Even if he gives out money, it's just for the sake of Hua Xu being his parents' official, giving him thirty or fifty taels for the occasion. She left Huainan Mansion. At that time, I heard Aunt Shuangcheng say privately that without one hundred thousand taels of silver, there would be no way to build this river embankment. At that time, Aunt Shuangcheng was taking inventory of the inner treasury, thinking about what things could be sold and exchanged for money to be posted in Xiuhe Yinli. Although Rongantang still has a lot of foundation, it does not have much cash. Even if the seller is willing to use the money to subsidize the repair of the river, he can only scrape together twenty to thirty thousand taels in a short while, which is still less than one hundred thousand taels. Not even close.

"Auntie... Jinse realizes her mistake..."
Mingshi also spoke at this time: "Since Miss Eight doesn't blame you, just get up."
"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."
Ming was indeed in a good mood, her brows once again revealed her charm, and she said with a smile: "I can barely be considered your elder, so calling you Zhuo'er doesn't count as a big deal.

So when Mingshi asked, Hua Zhuo said honestly and bluntly that he was short of money.
Jinse then got up from the ground and said, "Jinse, thank you so much, Miss Eight."
Seeing Mingshi and Hua Zhuo coming out one after another, the two girls hurriedly came forward to greet her. Mingshi looked at Qiqiao for a few times, then smiled at Hua Zhuo and said, "You girl, I think you are more lovable than Jinse." I like it, I wonder how you trained it | taught it."

After Jin Se retreated, Ming looked at Hua Zhuo and said, "Eighth Miss..."
So when Mingshi asked, Hua Zhuo said honestly and bluntly that he was short of money.
"Aunt Ming." Hua Zhuo quickly changed his words.
Mrs. Liang stared at it coldly for a long time, feeling just amazed in her heart.
Hua Zhuo didn't expect Ming to solve this problem immediately, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Ming and second cousin."
Naturally, other aunts are not qualified to call her by her name directly, but Mingshi still has this face, not to mention that she also has Mingshi's request. If she doesn't show her kindness at this time, she will show her kindness at any time.
After waking up, Jinse cried bitterly and knelt down again. First he kowtowed to Ming, then turned to Hua Zhuo and cried: "Eighth Miss, it's all my fault. Please don't blame your aunt, Eighth Miss." On the head, Jinse kowtows to you to apologize."

Don't I know it? I just want to ask my sister to understand my difficulties." I had to leave at that time. Oops, my forehead is red. Get up quickly and apply cold water on it, otherwise it will swell and you won't be able to see people."

Get up quickly and apply cold water on it, otherwise it will swell and you won't be able to see people."
Ming saw that her forehead was indeed red, and she felt sorry for her, and said: "Go down, you don't need to wait here anymore."
Ming saw that her forehead was indeed red, and she felt sorry for her, and said: "Go down, you don't need to wait here anymore."
Mingshi smiled and said: "They are all members of the family. How can I say thank you? By the way, you came to Rongchang Hall today for the first time and met your ancestors, but you haven't gone to meet your eldest aunt yet. At this point..." She glanced at He glanced at the hourglass placed in the corner and said, "It's almost dinner time. Let's go. Aunt Ming will take you to the main room to have dinner."
When I came out of Ming's house, I immediately saw Qiqiao and a girl sitting on the porch, chattering non-stop. They were so affectionate as if they were sisters, and Hua Zhuo laughed again. Get up, this girl lives up to the clever word in her name. In just a short time, she has made friends with the girl next to Ming.
Hua Zhuo quickly stood up and helped her up, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take responsibility for what my sister is doing. I don't blame you. My sister is devoted to Aunt Ming. Don't I know it? I just want to ask my sister to understand my difficulties." I had to leave at that time. Oops, my forehead is red.

"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."
It was only a few steps from the west courtyard to the main house. Just walking in the courtyard, Hua Zhuo heard a crisp and sweet laughter coming from the house. He listened carefully and saw who it was if it wasn't Hua Yan. It seemed that she was really happy to see Zhuang Zheng.
Ming saw that her forehead was indeed red, and she felt sorry for her, and said: "Go down, you don't need to wait here anymore."
Qiqiao immediately knelt down and said with a smile, "Aunt Ming is so ridiculous. Qiqiao is just a little clever."

Ming nodded and said, "Yes, but do you know what's so lovable about you?" Without waiting for Jinse's answer, she simply continued, "It's because you are much smarter than other girls and know how to understand me." "I made you arrogant, and you became arrogant, but have you ever thought about why I want you to be arrogant?"

I love hanging out all day and night. I have many friends and a wide circle of people, so I might be able to persuade a few big businessmen to give me money."
After thinking about this, Mrs. Liang felt ashamed. It was just that she couldn't compare to Mingshi. But she was still a few years older than Hua Zhuo, but she was not even better than this sister-in-law. Could these extra years of life be like living like a dog? went. When Hua Huan asked her to secretly send a note to Hua Zhuo to express his goodwill, she was quite dissatisfied. Now she realizes that her husband still has good taste.
Hua Zhuo knew that when Ming said that she was lovable, she was praising Qiqiao for her intelligence, so he smiled and said, "She is born with skillful hands, a clever mind, and a clever mouth. I didn't teach her. If I have this ability, that would be great."
Hua Zhuo lowered his head and smiled, knowing that Mingshi reciprocated the favor, and what he said about the money just now was false, and it was true that he took her to see Zhuang Zheng. Calculating the time, Hua Yan should have persuaded Hui Shi to invite Zhuang Zheng to the main room. He was probably talking at the moment. Ming Shi took her there now, which was exactly the right time.
Hua Zhuo quickly stood up and helped her up, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take responsibility for what my sister is doing. I don't blame you. My sister is devoted to Aunt Ming. Don't I know it? I just want to ask my sister to understand my difficulties." I had to leave at that time. Oops, my forehead is red. Get up quickly and apply cold water on it, otherwise it will swell and you won't be able to see people."
"It's for..." Jinse's nature is smart after all. She was just used to being arrogant before and couldn't restrain herself for a while. When Ming mentioned it like this, she seemed to be enlightened. Yes, my aunt's original intention was for her to pretend to be... With a black face, she protected her aunt from those people she didn't want to see, but she was so complacent that she forgot this time that Miss Eight was not one of those people in the side family who wanted to curry favor with or take advantage of her. Not only did the Eighth Miss come from the direct line, but she was also of great use to the aunt. Finally, the Eighth Miss came to her door automatically, but she scolded her and left. As a result, the Auntie's original initiative turned into a passive one, and the one who was begged became the one who asked for help. .

In fact, Hua Zhuo didn't know much about building the river embankment, but she knew her father's determination. She would never leave until the river embankment was repaired. She also felt that her father had done the right thing, otherwise there would be many floods next year. She had personally experienced the tragedy of innocent people being harmed. She didn't want to do this before because she knew there was nothing she could do, but now that she had the chance, she must help her father.
Mingshi smiled and said: "They are all members of the family. How can I say thank you? By the way, you came to Rongchang Hall today for the first time and met your ancestors, but you haven't gone to meet your eldest aunt yet. At this point..." She glanced at He glanced at the hourglass placed in the corner and said, "It's almost dinner time. Let's go. Aunt Ming will take you to the main room to have dinner."
Seeing her reacting so quickly, Ming felt even more in love with her. She also liked Qingsha who was sitting with Qiqiao just now, and said, "I'm going to the main room. It's not convenient for Jinse to follow, so just come here." Serve.”
"Zhuo'er, I wonder if your parents are in good health lately? The Fourth Master was supposed to return to Beijing this month to report on his work, but why did I hear that he submitted an official document to the Ministry of Personnel and refused to come back? But what's the problem? You and I Tell me, maybe I have some ideas." Ming asked with concern.
Qiqiao immediately knelt down and said with a smile, "Aunt Ming is so ridiculous. Qiqiao is just a little clever."
"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."
Qingsha was overjoyed and quickly responded, following closely behind Ming. She was just a third-class girl, but later Jinse was promoted to a first-class position, and the second-class position became vacant. She looked at it eagerly, but she couldn't please the Ming family, and was suppressed by Jinse. I have a good relationship with another maid who is a rough messenger, and I am trying to get that maid to be promoted. Qingsha is blocking the middle, which is an eyesore. I usually have a hard time, and I have no chance to show off in front of the Ming family, so I have been unable to get promoted. Going up, it was rare that Jinse got into trouble today, but unexpectedly, it gave him a chance to serve her closely. Apart from being happy, he also felt a little more grateful to Qiqiao, knowing that he had taken advantage of this sister today.
She didn't understand how to build the river embankment, but she knew that such a big project only meant two words: money and people. Huainan Mansion is not short of labor, but it is short of money. Otherwise, why would my father lose face and deal with those profit-seeking businessmen every day, just to persuade these people to donate money to repair the river embankment. It's just such a thankless thing. No businessman is willing to do his best. Even if he gives out money, it's just for the sake of Hua Xu being his parents' official, giving him thirty or fifty taels for the occasion. She left Huainan Mansion. At that time, I heard Aunt Shuangcheng say privately that without one hundred thousand taels of silver, there would be no way to build this river embankment. At that time, Aunt Shuangcheng was taking inventory of the inner treasury, thinking about what things could be sold and exchanged for money to be posted in Xiuhe Yinli. Although Rongantang still has a lot of foundation, it does not have much cash. Even if the seller is willing to use the money to subsidize the repair of the river, he can only scrape together twenty to thirty thousand taels in a short while, which is still less than one hundred thousand taels. Not even close.
"Zhuo'er, I wonder if your parents are in good health lately? The Fourth Master was supposed to return to Beijing this month to report on his work, but why did I hear that he submitted an official document to the Ministry of Personnel and refused to come back? But what's the problem? You and I Tell me, maybe I have some ideas." Ming asked with concern.

"Aunt Ming." Hua Zhuo quickly changed his words.
Seeing her reacting so quickly, Ming felt even more in love with her. She also liked Qingsha who was sitting with Qiqiao just now, and said, "I'm going to the main room. It's not convenient for Jinse to follow, so just come here." Serve.”
Ming saw that her forehead was indeed red, and she felt sorry for her, and said: "Go down, you don't need to wait here anymore."
After Jin Se retreated, Ming looked at Hua Zhuo and said, "Eighth Miss..."
After Jin Se retreated, Ming looked at Hua Zhuo and said, "Eighth Miss..."
Seeing her reacting so quickly, Ming felt even more in love with her. She also liked Qingsha who was sitting with Qiqiao just now, and said, "I'm going to the main room. It's not convenient for Jinse to follow, so just come here." Serve.”
"Auntie... Jinse realizes her mistake..."
Qingsha was overjoyed and quickly responded, following closely behind Ming. She was just a third-class girl, but later Jinse was promoted to a first-class position, and the second-class position became vacant. She looked at it eagerly, but she couldn't please the Ming family, and was suppressed by Jinse. I have a good relationship with another maid who is a rough messenger, and I am trying to get that maid to be promoted. Qingsha is blocking the middle, which is an eyesore. I usually have a hard time, and I have no chance to show off in front of the Ming family, so I have been unable to get promoted. Going up, it was rare that Jinse got into trouble today, but unexpectedly, it gave him a chance to serve her closely. Apart from being happy, he also felt a little more grateful to Qiqiao, knowing that he had taken advantage of this sister today.
Hua Zhuo didn't expect Ming to solve this problem immediately, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Ming and second cousin."
When I came out of Ming's house, I immediately saw Qiqiao and a girl sitting on the porch, chattering non-stop. They were so affectionate as if they were sisters, and Hua Zhuo laughed again. Get up, this girl lives up to the clever word in her name. In just a short time, she has made friends with the girl next to Ming.
Ming's name is a concubine. According to the rules, she can only have one third-class girl and two rough servant girls to serve her. However, she has a special status and is a good concubine given by the emperor. Therefore, the servants around her are upgraded to a second-class servant. Waiting girls, a third-class girl, and two rough-and-tumble girls, but since Jinse came to her side, the Ming family not only dotes on her and treats her as her own daughter, but also specially begged a first-class girl from her ancestors He gave her the title, not to mention other girls, even his own daughter-in-law would give this girl a certain degree of favor. Such pampering naturally cultivated Jinse's delicate and savage temperament.
Er sighs that the eighth sister of Rong'an Hall has eight exquisite orifices, one more than the seven orifices. Every time she retreats and advances, she actually has the upper hand over her aunt. It's pity that she, the second cousin sister-in-law, broke her leg running back and forth. Until now, I understand the key to this. No wonder the eighth sister just left at that time. She didn't have the attitude of coming to ask for help at all. She had already planned the next move in her relationship.
After Jin Se retreated, Ming looked at Hua Zhuo and said, "Eighth Miss..."
Ming thought for a moment and said: "This is a big problem. Let's do this. I am a woman and I can't think of any solution. I will wait until your second cousin comes and ask again. He is a monkey. I love hanging out all day and night. I have many friends and a wide circle of people, so I might be able to persuade a few big businessmen to give me money."
Hua Zhuo said quickly: "Auntie, just call me Zhuo'er."
It was only a few steps from the west courtyard to the main house. Just walking in the courtyard, Hua Zhuo heard a crisp and sweet laughter coming from the house. He listened carefully and saw who it was if it wasn't Hua Yan. It seemed that she was really happy to see Zhuang Zheng.
"Aunt Ming." Hua Zhuo quickly changed his words.
Ming was indeed in a good mood, her brows once again revealed her charm, and she said with a smile: "I can barely be considered your elder, so calling you Zhuo'er doesn't count as a big deal. Don't call me auntie, even though I'm not qualified to be you." She is an eldest aunt, but I think she deserves to be called an aunt."
"Aunt Ming." Hua Zhuo quickly changed his words.
"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."
It was only a few steps from the west courtyard to the main house. Just walking in the courtyard, Hua Zhuo heard a crisp and sweet laughter coming from the house. He listened carefully and saw who it was if it wasn't Hua Yan. It seemed that she was really happy to see Zhuang Zheng.
"When I left home, my parents were both in good health, but they were worried about repairing the river. My biggest problem right now is probably the lack of money."
So when Mingshi asked, Hua Zhuo said honestly and bluntly that he was short of money.
Ming's name is a concubine. According to the rules, she can only have one third-class girl and two rough servant girls to serve her. However, she has a special status and is a good concubine given by the emperor. Therefore, the servants around her are upgraded to a second-class servant. Waiting girls, a third-class girl, and two rough-and-tumble girls, but since Jinse came to her side, the Ming family not only dotes on her and treats her as her own daughter, but also specially begged a first-class girl from her ancestors He gave her the title, not to mention other girls, even his own daughter-in-law would give this girl a certain degree of favor. Such pampering naturally cultivated Jinse's delicate and savage temperament.
Hua Zhuo paused for a moment, and suddenly thought that the current situation was the same as that of Aunt Yao. She also competed with the legitimate daughter of Rongchang Hall. Thinking back to what happened to Aunt Yao back then, she shuddered and decided to do it this time. You must hold Ming's thigh well.
Mingshi smiled and said: "They are all members of the family. How can I say thank you? By the way, you came to Rongchang Hall today for the first time and met your ancestors, but you haven't gone to meet your eldest aunt yet. At this point..." She glanced at He glanced at the hourglass placed in the corner and said, "It's almost dinner time. Let's go. Aunt Ming will take you to the main room to have dinner."
After thinking about this, Mrs. Liang felt ashamed. It was just that she couldn't compare to Mingshi. But she was still a few years older than Hua Zhuo, but she was not even better than this sister-in-law. Could these extra years of life be like living like a dog? went. When Hua Huan asked her to secretly send a note to Hua Zhuo to express his goodwill, she was quite dissatisfied. Now she realizes that her husband still has good taste.
"Aunt Ming." Hua Zhuo quickly changed his words.
Naturally, other aunts are not qualified to call her by her name directly, but Mingshi still has this face, not to mention that she also has Mingshi's request. If she doesn't show her kindness at this time, she will show her kindness at any time.
