Chapter 1070 Sisters (2)

Back at the mansion, Lu Xiu sent a woman in charge of the mansion to invite Yu Rong.

Seeing Yurong, the mother-in-law gave a blessing and said respectfully: "Grandma Wugu, my wife said that if Grandma Wugu is free, please come to the house tomorrow to talk about it."

On the day the post was sent, the Han family replied that they were too busy recently and would not accept guests for the time being.

Now that Lu Xiu wants to see her, Yu Rong is very happy: "Okay." A few days ago, Lu Xiu said that she was busy and had no time to see her, so she thought that Lu Xiu ignored her.

Hong Ye was also happy for Yu Rong: "Ma'am, I heard that many people want to have a relationship with the Han family, but Mrs. Han doesn't care about it." Mrs. Han sent a decent woman over for a walk, which shows that she attaches great importance to her master.

"The Han family has the fourth sister as the backer, and prosperity is a certainty." After finishing speaking, Yu Rong sighed: "The day the big brother went to the northwest, everyone said he was crazy, who would have thought that he would actually win him a big favor?" Future." Even she felt that Han Jianming had lost his mind.

Hong Ye said: "Uncle is optimistic about the princess, otherwise we won't be ruined."

Yurong laughed: "I've grown up, and I can use idioms."

Such a happy event, Yurong naturally wanted to tell Mr. Gao. In front of Mr. Gao, Yurong didn't hide her thoughts: "I'm afraid the old man is unreliable." After these days, there is no news from Jiang Hongfu's side.

If Jiang Hongfu really wanted to, even if he didn't see her, he should have seen Brother Zheng, and he shouldn't even have a reply.

Mr. Gao explained: "Ma'am, the Eldest Master has been living in the yamen for a while, and he hasn't returned home."

"Even if you're busy, you should at least give me a reply, right?" Like her second sister-in-law, she was too busy to see her, so she immediately told someone. Whether it's an excuse or not, at least people can't fault Lilly.

Knowing that Yurong was feeling uncomfortable, Mr. Gao spoke good words for Jiang Hongfu: "There is no mistress in charge in the mansion, and there are no regulations for many things." Jiang Hongfu's two concubines left early and arrived in the capital in early April. Today, it is Jiang Hongfu's other concubine, Aunt An, who is the housekeeper.

Yurong sneered and said: "Then Aunt An is the Min family's confidant, and the Min family has always disliked me, so how could she let the old man help my housekeeper?" In the Jiang family before, no one as powerful as her mother-in-law took advantage of her. It is also fortunate that they have been recuperating in Jiangnan due to poor health, otherwise there would be no place for their mother and son to stand.

Mr. Gao said: "Even if there is any unhappiness between the eldest lady and you, the elder will not ignore the political brother." After a pause, Mr. Gao said: "The family can only prosper if there are more talents. This point The Elder knows better than anyone else." Therefore, Mr. Gao is very sure that Jiang Hongfu should not know about this matter, rather than deliberately neglecting others.

Yurong respected Mr. Gao very much, and said: "Then make two-handed preparations. If the political brother can win the favor of the elder brother and my hall brother, it will be smoother to become an official in the future." All dynasties are the same.

Mr. Gao nodded.

After eating breakfast the next day, Yurong went to the Han Mansion. A woman was waiting at the door, and as soon as she saw Yurong, she graciously led her into the inner courtyard.

Yurong herself grew up in the Duke's Mansion, and Jiang Wenrui has experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships after his death, so how can he not know that the servants below are the most sensitive. If they are people who are valued by the family, they will be very considerate, otherwise, they will not say a word to you.

It's normal for her to be treated coldly in her current capacity, but Yu Rong was wary of being so attentive to this woman. But then he thought that Lu Shi is generous, and the Han family is now in power, no matter what, it is impossible to count her as a widow, and it would be bad to spread her reputation.

After entering the inner courtyard, the mother-in-law led her to the small living room. Generally, important people are invited to the small living room.

As soon as she picked up the tea, Yurong heard the maid outside whispering: "The second lady is here."

Yu Rong hurriedly put down the tea, and walked to the door to meet Lu Xiu. Now that she wanted to rely on the Duke's Mansion, she naturally lowered her posture.

When Lu Xiu walked into the room, seeing Yu Rong, she said kindly: "I was busy a few days ago and didn't have time. I finally have some free time these days. Please don't take offense to my sister." After speaking, she looked at Yu Rong without any trace.

Yurong is wearing an autumn-colored Hangzhou silk woven shirt today, a pleated skirt in the snow, and fragrant-colored embroidered shoes. A head of jet-black hair was combed into a bun, a red gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with suet jade peaches was inserted in the front, and a red gold hairpin with red gold and silk was pressed on the back, and a pair of gold bead earrings were worn on the ears.

Yu Rong pretended not to see Lu Xiu's scrutiny, and said with a smile: "I know Second Sister-in-law is busy, if there is anything that needs help, Second Sister-in-Law just ask." She was afraid that someone would bully their orphans and widows, so she wanted to find the Duke's mansion Being a backer doesn't mean you don't have money to play the autumn wind. So, this time, I went out of my way to wear the best clothes and jewelry.

Hearing this, Lu Xiu smiled and said: "The affairs of the mansion are almost done, and I'm not too busy now. But my mother should be able to come to Beijing at the end of the month, and when the time comes, you can bring Brother Zheng over, and the family will have a meal." reunion dinner."

Yurong thought she heard it wrong, and asked, "Second sister-in-law, you want me to bring brother Zheng over for a reunion dinner?"

Lu Xiu said with a smile all over her face: "Although you are married, you are still the aunt of the Han family!" Yuxi recognizes Yurong as a younger sister, so the Han family naturally recognizes this aunt.

The world has been so chaotic these years, she is actually terrified in her heart. But there is no way, without the support of her mother's family, and she has a son to support, she can only grit her teeth and carry it. Now hearing Lu Xiu's words, Yu Rong's eyes turned red: "Second sister-in-law..."

Lu Xiu patted Yu Rong's hand and said: "I know, you have had a hard time these years. Not only me, but the princess also misses you very much!"

Yu Rong was stunned, and forgot to wipe away her tears: "Fourth Sister? Fourth Sister also misses me?"

"Yes, the princess misses you very much!" After finishing speaking, Lu Xiu said with a smile: "The princess wants to see you, but she is afraid that you won't want to, so let me ask if you are willing to enter the palace. If you want to, when the time comes Take Brother Zheng with you." Yuxi valued Yurong so much, how dare she neglect her.

Hearing this, Yu Rong burst into tears. When she was young, Yu Xi had a hard time getting along with her, and the two hadn't talked properly since they met. She thought that even if Yuxi didn't hate her, she should forget her in some corner.

After coming over for a while, Yurong calmed down, wiped away her tears and said: "Second sister-in-law, I will follow your arrangements for entering the palace, anytime is fine."

When to enter the palace is not up to her to decide. Lu Xiu said: "I'll let someone pass in later to see what the princess makes arrangements." After a pause, Lu Xiu added: "The princess has just arrived in Beijing and has a lot of things to do. I may see you later."

Needless to say, Yurong also knew: "I'm making the second sister-in-law bother." Although she knew that it was thanks to Yuxi that she was able to receive such preferential treatment, she still had to say something.

Seeing Yu Rong being so knowledgeable, Lu Xiu was also very satisfied: "My family, if you say these words, you will be offended." The most fearful thing is to help the white-eyed wolf. Yurong is so knowledgeable and interesting, it will be easy to communicate in the future.

A servant woman came in to report the matter, so Yurong said goodbye and went home.

Seeing Yurong's full smile, Mr. Gao was taken aback. Since the old man passed away, it was the first time she saw Yu Rong so happy: "Madam, what is the big happy event?"

Yu Rong nodded with a smile: "Fourth Sister wants to see me, but she is afraid that I won't want to enter the palace, so she asks Second Sister-in-law to ask me what I mean." The reason why Yu Rong is so happy is because of Yu Xi's attitude. He didn't directly send someone to declare her into the palace, but asked Lu Xiu to ask her what she meant first. Yuxi's behavior is a respect for her.

Mr. Gao also relaxed his brows, and said with a smile: "The princess has a heart." If his young master can win the favor of the princess, then he has nothing to worry about.

Brother Zheng was also very happy to hear the news when he came back. Although there are many rumors that are not good for Yuxi, Yurong often speaks well of Yuxi in front of Brother Zheng, so he is still very curious about this fourth aunt.

Although I don't know when Yuxi will have time, I have to prepare clothes and jewelry. When entering the palace, you must wear new clothes and new jewelry. You can’t wear old clothes and old jewelry. Those who don’t know think she’s going to cry poor!

In the past two years, she sold her shop and land at a good price, and now she is not short of money.

Thinking of the hidden gold, Yurong hesitated and asked Mr. Gao: "Sir, do you think we are going to buy some property?" Now she has no property at hand, only the hidden gold. But these golds are gone when they are used up. It's better to buy some property, Yurong is at ease in her heart.

The reason why they didn't dare to buy property before was because they were orphans and widowed, and they were afraid that they would be coveted by others. But with Yu Xi and the Duke's Mansion as their backers, these worries would disappear.

Mr. Gao nodded and said: "You can buy a shop, but it is not suitable to buy land for now."

Yurong was a little puzzled, and asked, "Why can't you buy land?" Yurong's favorite industries are shops and land. The shop can be rented out even if it is not in business, and the field can guarantee the income in drought and flood.

Mr. Gao said: "The princes and concubines may reward the ministers who have made meritorious deeds outside."

Yurong said: "We don't buy properties in particularly good locations, we go to farther places to buy some land."

Mr. Gao nodded and agreed: "Yes. But don't buy too much, just buy five or six hundred acres. If there is any new policy from the imperial court, we won't lose too much."

Yurong was very convinced of Mr. Gao, and said: "Success, let's buy a few shops first. Now that the world is peaceful, business will definitely be easier in the future, and the shops will be rented out by then." Anyway, she was going to spend the money in her hand. Four out of five came out to buy property.

Mr. Gao proposed to buy a house.

Yu Rong shook her head and said, "Buying a house is too much investment, but the return is very low."

After a pause, Yu Xi laughed again: "But you can buy a bigger house for your own use later." Brother Feng Zheng has a child, and now the house is a bit small.

Mr. Gao nodded and said, "Okay, I will send someone to inquire." Most of the officials and rich households in the capital have gone to Liaodong, and all these houses have been taken over by the government.

Some of these houses were rewarded to meritorious ministers, and a considerable part was put up for sale. In the past, if you have money, you can't buy a house you like. Now, as long as you have money, you can't worry about not being able to buy a good house.

Before dinner that day, Meilan told Yuxi about Yurong's promise to enter the palace.

Yun Qing happened to hear this, and asked, "Do you want to see Han Yurong?" Yuxi rarely mentioned the third householder of the Han family, so Yunqing had no impression of Yurong. The last time he told Guan Tai not to embarrass Yurong, it was also because Jiang Hongjin died in his hands, not because she was Yuxi's younger sister.

"That's right!" Seeing Yunqing's surprised face, Yuxi asked strangely: "Why are you so surprised?"

Yun Qing said with a smile: "I thought you hated her?" Yu Xi is not a person who is rampant when she is in power. If she hated Yurong, she would only alienate her and not call her into the palace to humiliate her.

"Why do you think that way?" When she was young, she hated Wu and Yurong very much, but as time went by, those bad things were selectively forgotten.

"Stepmother and stepsister can't get along well." After a pause, Yun Qing said with a smile: "Don't tell me your stepmother is good." If Yuxi's stepmother is good, it is impossible I never took the initiative to mention each other for many years.

"Mr. Wu wants to make things difficult for me, but I can't make things difficult. There is an auntie!" At this point, Yuxi shook her head and said, "Mr. Wu is a stepmother, and I can understand if she doesn't like her. But Han Jingyan hates me so much, he hates it three times. Four times to kill me, I can't stand it."

Yun Qing comforted: "Don't be sad, don't you always say that there are all kinds of birds in the forest? As a parent, there are good and bad." If Han Jingyan hadn't died of illness back then, he would have ordered Falcon Damn him, lest he and Yuxi always come out to disgust him.

"I'm not sad. Han Jingyan only loves himself, and other people are not important to him. Doting on Yuchen is only because Yuchen can bring him huge benefits." Han Jingyan didn't feel sad when he treated her coldly.

Speaking of Yuchen, Yun Qing couldn't help but frown: "Han Yuchen, you're disfigured."

With Yuchen's love for her appearance, disfigurement was a fatal blow to her. Yuxi asked: "Then how is she now?"

This didn't sound right, Yun Qing asked, "Are you caring about her?"

Yu Xi glanced at Yun Qing and said, "It's just a casual question, why are you so nervous?"

"I won't stop you from Han Yurong if you want to follow the Buddha, but Han Yuchen is our enemy, and one day he will kill her to avenge Qi Hao. Otherwise, Qi Hao's crimes that day will be in vain." It's to remind Yuxi not to be soft-hearted.

Yuxi sighed and said: "Don't worry, I won't stop you from doing it." When Qihao had smallpox, she really wanted to cut Yuchen into pieces. But now that so many years have passed, the hatred in her heart has dissipated. But this doesn't mean that she will stop Yun Qing from doing anything, and she can't hurt her husband and son because of an outsider.

Yun Qing hugged Yu Xi in his arms and said: "You, you are too soft-hearted." Yu Xi is fine with everything, but she is a little soft-hearted.

If other people hear this, they will definitely vomit blood from depression.
