In the morning of the next day, Uncle Cheng's wife, Mrs. Zhang, reluctantly announced the news that Mr. Wen came to the mansion to visit Ruan Xi today.
The aunts in the mansion secretly laughed at Mrs. Zhang's majestic wife, who was too old to fight for favor, and said such a good husband-in-law to Ruan Siniang, a concubine, and stepped on her own daughter. The two aunts with daughters were very dissatisfied with Mrs. Zhang.
She was also a concubine, but Mrs. Zhang told Ruan Siniang, who had lost her biological mother, such a good marriage, and stepped on their daughter's head fiercely.
The two aunts couldn't calm down, thinking that Master Hou had been resting in the main courtyard for the past few days, secretly scolding the Zhang family for being so old, and still using such a trick to compete for favor.
Except for Aunt Lin, no one knew that Zhang's heart had been softened for a while, and he had long since regretted being cheated by his daughter.
Aunt Lin looked down on Zhang's hypocrisy and viciousness.
It was obviously his fault, but he took his anger out on Ruan Siniang. On the surface, he was virtuous and generous, but he secretly attacked Ruan Siniang, almost killing Ruan Siniang.
…
The servants of Chengxin Garden were all full of energy and smiling, they kept Chengxin Garden clean, and the flowers and plants in the yard were trimmed neatly.
Miss Fourth's fiancé came to see him personally, which meant Mr. Wen attached great importance to this marriage and Miss Fourth.
At the same time, it also showed sincerity that the uncle's mansion climbed to the big backer of the Wen family.
After hearing the good news, the old lady who didn't watch the fasting and reciting Buddha sent several sets of brand new spring clothes and jewelry over.
As soon as the old lady started, the wives and aunts in the mansion all followed with a lot of good things.
Silk and satin, rouge and gouache, jewelry...
What Ruan Xi received in one day was more than the private house the original owner had accumulated in fourteen years.
In the room, Suyu dressed up for the young lady beamingly.
Ruan Xi, the client, was the calmest and looked a little out of place.
"Miss, are you unhappy?" Suyu looked at the lady as usual, and couldn't help asking strangely.
Ruan Xi paused, showing a bright smile: "I'm so happy!"
Suyu: "..." I always feel that the lady's smile is a bit perfunctory, is it her illusion
Ruan Xi sighed silently. Before meeting Wen Tingzhou, she reserved her opinion on this fiancé, in case the other party is a time-traveling man...
Ruan Xi is not afraid of the other party's rebirth, but afraid of him crossing over.
Just in time for him to visit and observe.
Suzhu came back from the big kitchen with a big food box in her hand.
His face was flushed, and he was elated.
"Miss, on the way back, I heard someone say that Miss San held a tea party."
"Tea party?" Suyu's eyes widened.
"That's right, in the apricot garden in the mansion, now is the season when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom." Su Zhu put the food box on the table, and took out a plate of delicate snacks.
"Miss, because the third lady held a tea party, the big kitchen made a lot of snacks, and the slaves brought back several."
Ruan Xi nodded, glanced at Suyu, who was busy and busy, and said helplessly: "Okay, Suyu, don't worry about it, Mr. Wen is studying in the academy, and he has a short break at noon. I guess I will come with my elder brother after school in the afternoon. .”
The breakfast was greasy, and one or two meat dishes were faulty. Ruan Xi only took a few mouthfuls, and decided to fill his stomach with snacks.
I am hungry now.
It seems that the aunt is determined to fatten her up. She eats three meals a day, big fish and meat, and she is really willing to spend all her money.
As soon as Suyu heard it made sense, she had no choice but to stop what she was doing.
Ruan Xi moved to the table and sat down, Goldfinger didn't give any hint, it seemed that there was no problem with the dim sum, Ruan Xi started to eat it with confidence.
After eating, Ruan Xi frowned while drinking scented tea, thinking about something.
It's not a problem to go on like this every day. It's too aggrieved to be raised as a pig by my aunt.
Of course, getting married can solve all these problems. Ruan Xi thought that he has just turned fourteen now, and he is still a year away from Jiji.
Ruan Sanniang has reached the age of Ji, and her marriage should be next year.
What a headache.
Ruan Xi pursed her lips.
Suyu and Suzhu saw that the lady was frowning for some reason, and stood aside quietly with winking eyes.
Time passed unknowingly, the little sisters invited by Ruan Sanniang arrived one after another, and the house was very lively.
Chengxinyuan was rarely quiet.
It's just that the tranquility was quickly broken, and the first mother brought the old doctor to the door.
A mighty group of people packed Ruan Xi's room.
Mrs. Zhang is about forty or so, well maintained, looks in her early thirties, dignified and beautiful, Xu has been in charge of the middle school for many years, and she has the momentum of being a housewife.
Ruan Xi hurriedly gave a standard junior salute: "Daughter pays respects to mother."
The aunt Zhang nodded with a smile, and said kindly: "Si Niang, judging by your complexion, you should be almost fine, but let the doctor take a pulse."
After speaking, Mrs. Zhang immediately asked the old doctor to feel Ruan Xi's pulse, and then carefully looked at Ruan Xi's ruddy face.
She didn't expect that Si Niang, who was almost overwhelmed, didn't look like recovering from the cold at all.
Mrs. Zhang was secretly surprised that Si Niang's body was healthier than she imagined.
Sure enough, it was right to give her sterilization pills.
Ruan Xi pretended to be grateful: "...Thank you, mother, for your concern."
Yes, I should thank Mrs. Zhang for her 'concern'.
Knowing that she had just recovered from the cold, she asked the kitchen to prepare greasy meals for her.
She will remember the 'care' of her aunt.
If she remembered correctly, the old doctor who took her pulse in front of her was the doctor who prescribed the medicine for the original owner. Ruan Xi guessed in her heart whether he belonged to the aunt.
The old doctor carefully gave Ruan Xi the pulse, and took it back after a while.
Although Mrs. Zhang was disgusted in her heart, she still had a gentle and loving smile on her face.
"Doctor, is Si Niang's illness cured?"
The old doctor nodded, and said truthfully: "Miss Si's body is fine, it's just that the fierce wind and cold have hurt her vitality, and she needs to take care of her vitality to restore her vitality."
Mrs. Zhang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and nodded quickly: "Yes, please ask the doctor to prescribe."
The old doctor prescribed medicine to make it easier to leave.
Obviously, the fourth lady's cold is not serious, just drink some ginger soup and she'll be fine, but who knows that she's hit the road, hurting her vitality, this filth of a wealthy family... the old doctor doesn't want to get involved.
The aunt seemed to be very busy, she brought the doctor to take her pulse and left in a hurry.
The medicinal materials needed in the prescription were also sent over.
After Ruan Xi looked at them one by one, a glint of darkness flashed in his eyes, and Goldfinger showed his power again. These medicinal materials were more or less added with 'ingredients'.
The aunt was indeed 'well-intentioned'.
Medicine supplements won't work, and food supplements won't work either.
Let the old lady call the shots
Ruan Xi thought about it, but she still put aside this idea. The old lady might pay attention to it, but it would anger her aunt Zhang.
It seems that the only way to go is the way of fiance, I hope Wen Tingzhou has not been crossed.
The aristocratic temperament cultivated by ancient aristocratic families is very different from that of modern people.
This is the reason why Ruan Xi wants to race against time to completely integrate and master what the original owner learned.
The temperament of modern people is different from that of ancient noble ladies. Ruan Sanniang lived a lifetime in ancient times. After her rebirth, her flaws were not so conspicuous, but as a modern person, Ruan Xi could still tell the difference.
Ruan Xi suddenly thought that the heroine in the book should also come through at this time.
But she and the heroine should not have an intersection.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xi forgot about the heroine.
Sure enough, as Ruan Xi expected, Mr. Wen didn't come here at noon. The noble ladies who came to Ruan Sanniang's tea party were very happy to hear that Mr. Wen would come to the uncle's mansion today. Ruan Siniang had just recovered from a serious illness, and they all wanted to see this Ruan Siniang, and Ruan Sanniang was very angry.
It's a pity that they are going to be disappointed, Mr. Wen came to the uncle's mansion with his eldest brother after school.
Thinking of the purpose of holding the tea party, Ruan Sanniang could only suppress her perseverance and communicate with the distant cousin of the future empress dowager.
After the tea party, the ladies left reluctantly.
Coincidentally, not long after they left, the porter rushed to the main courtyard to report.
"Madam, the young master has brought Mr. Wen here!"
Master Wen is here...
The news quickly spread to Chengxinyuan, Suyu and Suzhu were both excited and nervous.
Ruan Xi: "..."
