The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 161 Searching Guanju Courtyard

Le An Ning took a deep breath and said, "Shi Mingzhu is so vicious! The Xie family has been unlucky for eight lifetimes to have the good fortune to do favors for the Shi family!"

Wang Fan said, "Who said it wasn't true? By the way, you came to see me not just to tell me that Lao Ba was rejected, right?"

Le An Ning asked with a smile: "Sixth Brother, why did you suddenly become smart?"

Wang Fan: “…”

Is Le Anning the only one with a slow mind?

It’s a waste of a pretty head.

Le An Ning held her arm, raised an index finger, and whispered, "Two things. One is that my sister-in-law has received news that the Third Master in our mansion is really bold and has secretly sent his confidants to Jiangnan to buy grain, transport it to Fengzhou, and sell it at a high price. The Imperial Censor has already targeted him, so there is no need for us to do anything further. He will destroy himself."

Wang Fan was secretly happy.

The more unlucky the Shi brothers are, the happier she is.

Besides, it was not her who instigated Shi Mingzhen to make money from the disaster. It was Shi Mingzhen who wanted to do it on his own initiative. If there were any benefits, she would not get a share. If she was implicated, her reputation would inevitably be affected.

If you want to cheat him, then cheat him. He is a son of an official, and an official at that, but he is so selfish as to do business.

Le An Ning raised his second finger, coughed, and asked, "Can you tell me about Shi Yao's past life?"

Wang Fan looked her up and down and asked, "Why are you asking about Shi Yao? Are you still grudgeful about you smashing her yard and her complaining about you kneeling in the ancestral hall?"

Le An Ning blushed and smiled awkwardly, "How long ago was that? Two lifetimes have passed between us, I have long forgotten it! I am just asking, you tell me!"

Le An Ning hugged her arm and shook her, acting coquettishly.

Wang Fan shuddered uncontrollably.

Come to think of it, she was also so pretentious when she was acting coquettishly in front of the lady.

After two lifetimes, she has long forgotten how to act coquettishly.

Wang Fan was in a trance for a while, and then he narrated in detail the life of "Shi Yao" in his previous life.

When she was dying, "Shi Yao" had just passed away a year ago. Before her death, she gave birth to eight daughters and died in the attempt to have a son.

Le An Ning was stunned: "Is she a pig?" Then he said, "How miserable! I finally understand that anyone who offends Shi Mingzhu will have a bad ending. In my previous life, Shi Yao was also miserable..."

She also talked about the miserable situation of another "Shi Yao".

Wang Fan was speechless: "I was blinded by a leaf before, but now I see clearly. To make a person crazy, compare him with another person, favor one and ignore the other. Over time, both will go crazy. Shi Yao went crazy, and Shi Mingzhu also went crazy."

Le An Ning felt sympathetic: "Those of us who are neglected, at least we have our sons by our side, so we can still live. Shi Yao feels the favoritism of her elders and brothers every day. She has been married for two lifetimes and has not ended up well. It would be strange if she didn't go crazy."

Wang Fan's face turned black.

Le Anning hurriedly apologized to her: "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!"

Wang Fan didn't bother with her. They chatted for a few more words and then went their separate ways.

Wang Fan returned to the garden to comfort her and Shi Mingmo's maids, and also to find out where Shi Mingmo had gone so that she could "do work" for him.

Le An Ning hurried towards Guanju Courtyard.

?

In Guanju Courtyard, Shi Yao and her group came back and stepped into the doorway. Aunt Liu Hua couldn't help but ask, "How much money did the young lady give to Mr. Xie? Was it because of the flood in Fengzhou?"

Ren Dong brought hot water over. Shi Yao put her hands into the copper basin and washed them while admiringly saying, "Aunt, you are so smart! It's not much, just one or two thousand taels. This is all I have. I can't donate more even if I want to."

Aunt Liu Hua has a headache. What is her magical plan?

In the past two days, in order to restore the reputation of the Duke's Mansion, the lady had sent Aunt Tang to each courtyard to persuade the ladies to donate money.

The girl, on the other hand, actively responded to the call of the lady and spent thousands of taels of silver at every turn. Is it possible that she is addicted to doing good deeds?

If I marry into a harsh family in the future, won’t I be scolded to death by my husband and parents-in-law?

Banxia felt pain as she wiped Shi Yao's hands. She thought, it would be better to smash Shaohua Garden and get Aunt Liuhua's badge back!

At least give away dozens of taels of money at a time, and it will last for a long time!

This time he gave away thousands of taels of silver, and after a few days, he found other ways to give away another thousand taels.

——Now that Banxia has become successful, a few dozen taels of silver can be considered small change.

Aunt Liu Hua took Banxia away and asked about Shi Yao's past behavior.

The two of them chattered for a while, and Aunt Liu Hua learned that Shi Yao and Aunt Ji had been like this in the past, and would rather eat and wear less than they could do good deeds.

Aunt Liu Hua finally found the root of the disease, but she felt dizzy and wanted to faint!

No!

The girl needs to change her habit of being kind and generous!

It must be changed!

People only give alms when they have extra money. How can they go without food and clothing just for the sake of giving alms?

No wonder she heard people say that when the girl returned to Beijing, her clothes couldn’t even fill two boxes!

Therefore, Aunt Liu Hua specially opened a class to talk about "kindness", the main idea of ​​which is that doing good should be done in moderation.

Excessive kindness is not a good thing, but will harm others and yourself.

Shi Yao nodded repeatedly, saying "yes, yes, yes" all the time, but she was drowsy and nothing she heard went in one ear and out the other.

When her life is completely saved and no one can harm her, she will spend money on herself generously.

After class, Shi Yao saw Aunt Liu Hua turned around, so she took the opportunity to stretch secretly. When Aunt Liu Hua turned around, she sat upright, dignified and elegant.

Aunt Liu Hua's mouth was dry. She drank half a cup of tea and said, "That's enough for today. Go and have fun, young lady."

Shi Yao bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your teaching, aunt."

After that, she walked out gracefully. Mu Xiang hurriedly pulled her to the side room and said excitedly, "Girl! I've been waiting for you to come out. Xing Mi has something important to report!"

Shi Yao shuddered, and her confused mind immediately became clear. She took a few quick steps and entered the side room, where she saw Banxia, ​​Rendong, and Xingmi sitting around the table.

Banxia Rendong looked impatient, while Xingmi had a look on her face that said “I have gossip to share”.

When several people saw her, they wanted to stand up and greet her, but Shi Yao waved her hand to stop them: "We sleep in the same room, why do we have to follow so many rules? Xing Mi, tell me quickly, what happened in the front yard?"

Xing Mi smiled and asked, "How do you know that there is something wrong in the front yard?"

"Is there any need to ask? Just now Third Young Master Xie told me that they ran into Ning Yuanhou when they came here. Ning Yuanhou went to Hanxu Hall, so he must have gone to cancel the engagement. Did he cancel it?"

Xing Mi had a lot to say, and just as she started to describe it vividly, she mentioned that Ning Yuanhou and Mr. Xie were vying to run first, when she heard the maid calling from outside: "Is the second young lady here? Are Miss Muxiang and Miss Banxia here?"

Shi Yao winked at Banxia, ​​who hadn't heard enough: "Don't rush to talk, have some tea first, and we'll talk when I come back!"

After giving the instructions, he left.

Shi Yao smiled and said, "Go quickly, I won't forget you."

In less than a moment, Banxia came in hurriedly and said, "Miss, Wan Zheng's wife is here! She brought a few unfamiliar maids and wives with her, and said she wanted to search the yard!"

Mu Xiang stood up suddenly and asked in surprise, "What are you searching for?"

Banxia said: "Search for Master Ba!"
