Chapter 12
The elegant room was bright and elegant, with a faint tea fragrance floating. Liu Ruyi walked to Fu Rong and sat down, and asked the sisters with a smile: "How about this tea?"
Fu Rong said sincerely: "You are so nice to us."
She likes to drink flower tea, among which she likes Zhulan Huangshanya, Huizhou, the pot prepared by Liu Ruyi has clear soup color, elegant fragrance of flowers, fresh and mellow taste, and is actually the best. The same is true for her sister's Pu'er tea. Fu Rong knew that this was just Liu Ruyi's ability to attract repeat customers, and she must have a clear understanding of the wife and ladies in the other family, but this did not affect her enjoying such considerateness.
Fu Wan also thanked softly.
The charmer was satisfied, Liu Ruyi mentioned the serious matter and pointed to the three little girls and said, "They all came from innocent poor families. They have been with Mrs. Gu for two or three years. They can't make gold and silver jewelry well. They can do small things like flower and den. The third girl see which one she likes, and I will give you the contract to sell her body."
The three girls were asked to report their names.
They are all related to jewelry.
The best-looking one is called Jin Fan, with fair skin and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Fu Rong loves beauty and likes to use it. He chose a golden fan in his previous life. Because the golden fan is special, Fu Rong mentioned her the example of a maid. As a result, Jin Fan was ungrateful and delusional, and dared to hook up with her brother on her back. Fu Rong sent the person back.
After Liu Ruyi learned the reason, she generously asked her to choose another one.
The second time, Fu Rong chose Yinzeng, which was an ordinary-looking Yinzeng. He learned from the last lesson. Fu Rong only asked Yinzeng to be a second-class maid. He usually didn't ask her to serve her, so as not to secretly get moved when she saw her brother Fengzi. Yinzeng was a duty to be a man and a woman, but she was so stubborn that she liked to inquire and always wanted to find out why Fu Rong had to wear Huadian. After being mentioned by Mei Xiang, she still refused to repent.
Ruyizhai is not a girl, so Fu Rong was embarrassed to disturb Liu Ruyi again, so she drove Yinzhu out of the mansion and was about to go to the Yin Building next to him to take a look. Unexpectedly, Yinzhu returned to Ruyizhai with a bag and complained. On that day, Liu Ruyi went to the mansion to apologize. It was probably because Yinzhu was not serving him well, so she gave Yuqin to her.
Yuqin is the ugliest of the three. How ugly is it? It’s so ugly that Fu Rong never saw it again when he first met.
But Yuqin let Fu Rong see what it means to behave like to behave like a person. Not only is she skillful, she is also quiet and restrained, but what is more valuable is loyalty. Many people want to inquire about the reason why Fu Rong is obsessed with Huadian, including her sister-in-law. After Fu Rong married into the Prince's Mansion, her sister-in-law promised Yuqin various benefits, but Yuqin's answer was always the same sentence.
"My girl loves beauty."
"Just want her." Fu Rong pointed at Yuqin, who was drooping his eyes, "The name of the maid by my side is full of the word Xiang. You were originally Madam Gu's beloved disciple, but now I have suddenly lost my future. I can only mention you as a maid and make up for it. If you want, how about changing it to Qinxiang?"
As soon as this said, Liu Ruyi and Fu Wan were both surprised, and the golden fan and silver pendant were even more envious and jealous.
Gu Niangzi's apprentice sounds nice, but it's actually similar to a maid. She couldn't learn real skills in the past few years. Besides, it's boring to carve all day long. She's just someone else's hand in gold, silver and jewelry, so I really don't want to leave. The maid next to the third girl of the Fu family will marry with the third girl in the future. If you are lucky, you will be a concubine, and if you are not bad, you will be a wife. That is the real good life.
The more I thought about it, the more jealous she became, and she felt a little complaining. This third girl is really, Yuqin is so ugly, what did she like about her?
Yuqin was the most unbelievable, but when she looked up and met Fu Rong's expectant smile, her eyes turned sour. She knelt down quickly and kowtowed to Fu Rong respectfully: "Qinxiang thanked Miss Nickname, and she will definitely serve the girl well in the future." She kowtowed to Liu Ruyi, "Qinxiang is so kind to save her life, and Qinxiang will never forget it."
Liu Ruyi smiled, "It is your luck to be taken by the third girl. Okay, go back and pack up and prepare to leave with the third girl. Don't forget to say goodbye to your master."
Qin Xiang quickly wiped her eyes and took a small step.
Fu Rong watched the three girls walk away, turned to Liu Ruyi and said, "Please thank you for me and Madam Gu." It is rumored that Madam Gu is ugly and often lives in the backyard and doesn't like to go out. Sometimes she wears a veil when she goes out, so she won't be able to go over and thank you in person.
Liu Ruyi nodded and handed Qin Xiang's contract to Fu Rong.
After Qinxiang was packed up, Liu Ruyi followed Fu Rong sister downstairs: "Long time no see you, Mrs. I'll go over to visit you today. I just have to ask for money as soon as I meet. The lady must annoy me."
Fu Rong's smile never stopped, "When did you help me so much, my mother is happy..."
Halfway through his speech, Fu Rong stared at a new servant dressed in gray at the door of Ruyizhai, frowned slightly.
Why does this person look so familiar? Where have you seen it...
A solemn and majestic figure suddenly surged into my mind. Fu Rong looked behind the servant in shock, but saw pedestrians walking on the street, without any of her father-in-law from her previous life, Xu Yaocheng, the king of Xindu.
"Thick?" Fu Wan shouted curiously.
"Oh, it's okay, let's go." Fu Rong came back to his senses and saw the servant look at this side, then stood on the side of the stairs and seemed to be waiting for someone. Fu Rong went downstairs with Fu Wan as if nothing had happened.
The servant spoke after their sisters passed by: "Boss, I have your letter."
He actually called Liu Ruyi's boss?
This matter was too bizarre, and Fu Rong couldn't help but turn around, and saw Liu Ruyi put the letter in her sleeve. The servant quickly headed towards the door like he finished his errand, and disappeared in an instant.
Seeing that she was curious, Liu Ruyi said casually: "I sent someone to inquire about the price of gold and silver in the capital a while ago, and I finally sent the news back today."
Fu Rong instinctively didn't believe it, but she couldn't find out more about any customer.
There was a carriage when I came, and there was one more behind me when I returned.
Fu Rong accompanied Qiao to entertain Liu Ruyi. She was sweet-mouthed and talkative. Liu Ruyi's words were funny. In addition, Guan Ge'er was lively and cute, and the hall kept laughing and laughing. Qiao also liked the three hairpins very much. Liu Ruyi wanted nine hundred taels, but she added one hundred taels to make up the integer, and the host and guest were all happy.
After sending Liu Ruyi, Qiao called all three daughters to the main room and asked them to pick up hairpins.
The big ones are the small ones, and Fu Wan asked Fu Xuan to choose first.
Although the total price of three hairpins is 900 taels, the unit price is definitely not as high as that of three hundred taels per one. The most expensive one should be the one inlaid with sapphire, followed by the pure pink tourmaline, and finally the white jade hairpin.
Seeing that Fu Xuan was going to get the white jade hairpin, Fu Rong blocked her hand and said to Qiao, "Mom, let me give it to us. Every time you take out one, you will give it to anyone you point to." It doesn't matter which one she is. She also likes the white jade hairpin, but she just doesn't want her sister to choose the cheapest one.
"Why do you have to be so troublesome?" Seeing through the third sister's thoughts, Fu Xuan insisted on getting the white jade hairpin.
Fu Rong relied on his height to squeeze his sister aside and rushed to hand the three hairpins to his mother.
Qiao smiled with relief. The girls all like to compare, and some of their own sisters are dissatisfied with each other, but her three daughters have never had such awkwardness. One is gentle and upright, the other is lively and silly, and the other loves books as life, which saves her a lot of trouble.
"Okay, let Brother Guan break up." Qiao's final sentence.
In the end, Fu Wan got the sapphire, Fu Xuan got the white jade hairpin, and Fu Rong got the pink tourmaline hairpin she liked the most.
This is also the most satisfactory distribution for Qiao.
She kissed the youngest son happily: "Our Guan brother has a good vision. He knows what color his sisters wear to be the most suitable for their demeanor. When they grow up in the future, they will definitely please the little girl."
Brother Guan grinned in the jewelry box.
Fu Rong leaned against his mother and looked at the smiling relatives around him, feeling unprecedented satisfaction.
Her greatest wish is to live a life of peace and worry about the whole family.

Returning from the main room to his cross-yard, Fu Rong rested on the pillow and ordered Meixiang to call Qinxiang.
"girl."
Qin Xiang, who had already changed into a white dress, walked up to Fu Rong with some restraint and looked at Fu Rong's waist.
Fu Rong looked at Qinxiang seriously. The teenage girl had a dark face, thick eyebrows, a collapsed nose and thick lips. The only thing she could see was her big watery eyes. Unfortunately, others probably didn't open their eyes before they noticed her eyes. Maybe they had been together for a few years and had gotten used to seeing her. Fu Rong didn't think Qinxiang was ugly now, and asked her with a smile: "Have you arranged your residence? What are the things missing in the house?"
Qinxiang hurriedly said, "Miss Lao is very good. She lives in the house next to Sister Meixiang. Both sisters take good care of me."
There were two little maids who turned their heads and smiled secretly, and they immediately did not dare to show it after being stared at by Mei Xiang. With such care, Qin Xiang was both happy and uneasy. She always felt that she was just a newcomer and was not worthy of being so valued.
Fu Rong had lived for two lifetimes, and Qinxiang was not good at concealing her, so she could easily see her concerns. She waved to Qinxiang and signaled her to get closer. Fu Rong pushed the eyebrows between her forehead and pointed to the small pit, "This is what I stayed from sickness. Pork, most of the time I will never be able to get rid of it in this life. I don't want people to see you, so I picked you to serve you. Qinxiang, except for the master and the wife, only Madam Sun Mei Xianglanxiang in the entire Xindu City knows about this. I believe you, and I hope you keep your mouth shut for me."
Let Qinxiang know how big her pit is so that she can make the most suitable flower pill.
Qin Xiang had an ugly appearance and a heart-warming person, and immediately knelt down: "Don't worry, girl, Qin Xiang swears to the sky and never mentions this to anyone. If there is any disobedience, just call Qin Xiang the next life, and she will still be like this in the next life!" Being ugly so much that she did nothing, she would become a laughing stock among other people.
Fu Rong did not laugh, but instead felt a little guilty for his contempt.
Putting on the shoes and Fu Rong personally helped her up, "Of course I believe in you. I can't care about the appearance of the person next to me. If anyone dares to laugh at you, I will drive the person away immediately."
Her voice was tender, but her words were full of firm protection. Qin Xiang lowered her head and cried silently. Her parents at home never treated her like this.
Fu Rong handed her a handkerchief: "Okay, you go down first and list all the materials and utensils for making flower ornaments. I'll ask you to buy them tomorrow. I won't rush to make them. Today I brought them back from Ruyizhai for a while."
"Well, girl, just don't worry, Qinxiang will definitely serve the girl." Qinxiang promised again, leaving with red eyes.
Fu Rong leaned back to the couch and picked up the hairpin that had just been placed aside and played with it.
What was going on with that guy?
She had never met him in Ruyizhai in her previous life. She only met him several times after marrying into the Prince's Mansion. Could it be that he was originally from Ruyizhai? Later, Ruyizhai went to Loukong overnight and Liu Ruyi's wife Gu was missing. He joined the Prince's Mansion again?
But it was only half a year before Liu Ruyi left and got married. It would be too strange that the servant became a confidant around her father-in-law so quickly? If he had really had that ability, he would not have been living in the small Ruyi Zhai now, and would have been a big spouse long ago.
Or maybe, he was originally his father-in-law and was sent to Liu Ruyi?
Does Liu Ruyi know?
If you know it, there is only one explanation left?
