Mr. Wen paid so much attention to his daughter, Uncle Chengyi was very proud, the attitude of Shangguan and his colleagues towards him was obviously more enthusiastic than in the past few days, Uncle Chengyi was full of high spirits.
Maybe it won't be long before he can remove the two temporary prefixes from his acting position as minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Uncle Cheng couldn't help having a sweet dream.
Of the four beautiful daughters, the most beautiful fourth daughter has the best marriage and is the most helpful to Chengyi Bo. In the Shengde Dynasty, the hereditary titles of earls were only the title and food salary, and there was no fiefdom.
In the huge capital city, he is not as good as an official with real power. It is not easy to find a backer with a deep background.
Who made the previous generations of the Ruan family have no outstanding descendants, so they could only keep the family business of Bofu.
Uncle Chengyi is an ambitious man who works hard, takes in beautiful concubines, and gives birth to a beautiful daughter. He racks his brains to use marriage methods, but he only uses his prostitute to establish a relationship with the Marquis of Huaiyang.
He had good luck, and climbed up to the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry all the way, but this position is temporary, so he can't sit firmly. It is said that a certain prince wants to put his confidant in this position.
Uncle Chengyi almost lost his temper.
"Ms. Zhang is good!"
Uncle Chengyi is very satisfied with Zhang's self-assessment this time.
Although she didn't get online with a certain prince, she also got connected with the direct line of the Wen family.
The fourth daughter is a good fortune.
As the evening approached, Uncle Chengyi came back from the government office and came directly to Chengxin Garden.
"Si Niang, I heard from Dalang that you and Mr. Wen had a conversation alone. How is Mr. Wen treating you?"
Ruan Xi looked at the amiable Uncle Daddy, and was silent, for Uncle Daddy was really realistic.
She pretended to be shy and nodded: "Mr. Wen's attitude is very gentle, and he also said that he would give his daughter a foster mother."
Ruan Xi deliberately disclosed this matter to Uncle Daddy to increase her bargaining chip.
The more Mr. Wen valued her and the more eyes he focused on her, the more his aunt dared not act rashly.
When feelings and family relationships will deteriorate, only the relationship of interests is the most reliable.
Combined with the memory of the original owner, Ruan Xi knew that Uncle Daddy was a person who put his interests first. Among the four sisters, the original owner was the most beautiful and the best-looking, so even if she lost her biological mother, Uncle Daddy paid attention and the old lady stared at her. As long as the interests of the aunt are not hindered, the life of the original owner will not be difficult.
Now that something happened, the aunt might not be able to tolerate her anymore, so Ruan Xi was going to take advantage of Young Master Wen's influence.
Some aunts in the mansion also hinted to win over, and the most favored Aunt Lin even befriended her with a precious century-old ginseng, throwing an olive branch.
Ruan Xi is not stupid, she is so beautiful now because she has climbed up to Mr. Wen, it's just a false reputation, so she didn't intend to join forces with Aunt Lin to fight against her aunt.
Aunt Lin is favored and has a son under her knees, who seems to be evenly matched with the aunt, but the aunt Zhang has a son who has grown up and is doing well, and a daughter who is quite popular with the old lady, and her position is stable.
Besides, based on Ruan Xi's understanding of uncle's father based on the memory of the original owner, uncle's father is not confused, he should still be an official fan.
As long as the aunt does not step on his bottom line and does not harm the interests of the uncle's family, she is still a sincere lady.
Therefore, if you want to improve your situation, you can only work hard from Mr. Wen and uncle.
As for the old lady...
After careful consideration, Ruan Xi gave up. It is not a good thing to grab Ruan Sanniang's position in the old lady's heart and hug the old lady's thigh.
Uncle Chengyi was overjoyed, his heart was surging, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and as Ruan Xi expected, he paid more attention to his daughter, Siniang.
"Okay, Mr. Wen is still considerate. The Wen family is a big family with strict rules. He is taught by the Wen family's upbringing mother, so father can rest assured."
"Si Niang, you have to study hard, and you must not lose the face of the uncle's house!"
Uncle Chengyi stroked his short beard happily, and instructed carefully.
Ruan Xi nodded respectfully: "Yes, father."
Uncle Chengyi looked at his obedient fourth daughter, his brows stretched, and he was very satisfied.
"You are fourteen now, I have to talk to your mother about letting you learn to run the house."
"Well, I'm going to find you a mother who came out of the palace... When you enter Wen's house, you can have someone to help you."
Uncle Chengyi walked up and down while talking. The fourth daughter was mediocre in every aspect except her appearance.
The corners of Ruan Xi's mouth curled up slightly, the aunt might vomit blood after knowing uncle's plan.
She doesn't dislike her uncle's arrangement at all. Only worthy people will be carefully cultivated by the family. She can take this opportunity to learn more.
Apart from her aunt, she had a good impression of the Chengyi House.
"Also, you are Mr. Wen's fiancée now, and you usually communicate with Mr. Wen by letter or go out for a trip, and if you don't have enough money, you can directly withdraw it from the account."
Uncle Chengyi is very willing to spend money in this regard.
The corners of Ruan Xi's mouth twitched, uncle uncle is so open-minded, this is the rhythm for her to attack Mr. Wen.
Really think highly of her.
She lowered her eyelids: "Everything is arranged by my father." Isn't it just writing letters? She will, and if Mr. Wen asks her out, she will not refuse. It is a rare opportunity to go out, so you can go out and have a look.
Uncle Chengyi was very satisfied with Ruan Xi's obedience. He remembered that there were many servants in the daughter-in-law's courtyard, which was very lively, but Si Niang's courtyard was too quiet, so Uncle Chengyi waved his hand again.
"Si Niang, I just saw that your yard is a little deserted. Dad asked your aunt to send some servants over. Well, I need to add a few more guards."
Ruan Xi: "..."
No, she doesn't feel deserted at all, besides, there are many people with mixed eyes, and accidents are easy to happen.
"Father, this is against the rules."
Uncle Chengyi frowned, "The master of this uncle's house is dad, and dad has the final say on the rules."
Ruan Xi: "..." She wanted to get uncle's attention, but the attention obviously exceeded expectations.
When the time comes, the aunt will not vomit blood from anger, but wish to get rid of her and hurry up.
Ruan Sanniang probably also felt a sense of shock.
Uncle Chengyi saw his fourth daughter frowning, as if she was worried about something, with a look of resentment: "Si Niang, you are Mr. Wen's fiancée, so cautious and cowardly, how can you be the mistress of the Wen family in the future."
Ruan Xi, who was as timid as a mouse: "..." Grandfather really thinks far.
He didn't even know that the only time his fourth daughter was forced to "show the limelight", it cost her life.
"Father, listen to my daughter's explanation. My daughter is a concubine, but she is treated better than the third sister, a concubine. After outsiders know about it, they don't know how to arrange their daughter."
"Perhaps it will be said that the daughter will be rampant once she gains power. If the Wen family finds out, they may call off the marriage, and then the daughter will become a joke."
Ruan Xi tried his best to reason with Uncle Chengyi, especially aggravating the possibility of Wen's family retiring.
Hearing the fourth daughter's explanation, Uncle Chengyi was terrified. Such a situation might happen.
Uncle Cheng frowned.
"What you said is reasonable, but if people know about your current situation, outsiders will only say that the uncle's house treats you harshly."
Ruan Xi saw that Uncle Daddy wanted to let go, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot, dispelling Uncle Daddy's idea of sending the servants away.
"Father, you find a mother for your daughter who came out of the palace, and add guards to your daughter's yard. Outsiders will not say that you treat your daughter harshly."
"It's just that there are fewer servants, fewer servants, less right and wrong."
Uncle Chengyi was persuaded by Ruan Xi, and he took a deep look at his fourth daughter. It seemed that he still didn't understand this well-behaved and quiet daughter enough.
