Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

Chapter 1

For Ai Ruo, going out for dinner can only be regarded as a burden, but it is not that uncomfortable.Just because she's lazy doesn't mean she can't do it.Besides, she came with a mission. Jia Zheng had already said so, so she naturally had to take it seriously.I thought so, if even Jia Zheng knew about it, it would be a bit harsh to say it outside, but he is the one who cares about face, so naturally he doesn't want people to talk about it.The main reason is that it is very embarrassing to treat her as nothing. For that little money, what is she doing?

So in fact, even if it wasn't for Jia Hu's marriage, she had to come out to meet people, and people had to know that she wasn't shameless.

The first one was the banquet at Princess Rui's house. On Princess Rui's birthday, she invited the wives from several families close to her, and she also brought her own girl to come, saying that it was for fun.Ai Ruo arrived earlier, and Princess Rui told her to arrive early, otherwise she would have done unnecessary things due to her temper. Princess Rui asked her what was going on outside while changing clothes in the inner room, so why did she spread the word? In order to fight for the family property of the big house, she forced the big brother to go to Zhuangzi.

"Look at what you said, you understand this matter better than my concubine, right?" Ai Ruo stepped in for her, and she really looked dazzling, "Your complexion is really good, it seems that the pills prepared this time not bad."

Ai Ruo knew that Princess Rui didn't like to drink soup, so she made pills, and they were delicious, and the effect was slower. However, Princess Rui was not the one who was impatient, so she was targeted, and the effect was different. At this time , Princess Rui's face is not only less scarred, but her entire complexion is also different.It looks very shiny.

"If I didn't know the cause and effect, why would I ask you." Princess Rui didn't take Ai Ruo's overtures at all.

"Who knows? It's obviously an obvious thing, but it turned out like this. It's clear that someone is pushing the flames, otherwise I'll show my face today?" Ai Ruo smiled slightly.

"People are relatively simple today. In fact, the lord wants you to meet the fourth concubine tomorrow, but I think about it, so forget it." The concubine looked at herself in the mirror and said casually.

Ai Ruo's eyes flashed, what does the princess mean by this? Thinking of Liu Rui, asking me to meet the fourth princess, this is full of deep meaning, right?She didn't answer, and looked down at the jewelry box, pretending to help Princess Rui choose jewelry, pretending not to hear.Princess Rui didn't mention it any more.

At about the same time, Princess Rui brought Ai Ruo to the main hall, and the wives were already waiting there. At this moment, Ai Ruo finally knew that Princess Rui really regarded her as her own before.Tell her to come first, and now bring her out together, even if you don't say anything, it is already silent support.

With Princess Rui's family making a good start, in the future, the posts of each family will go again, and Ai Ruo will go again, it seems that people have forgotten the tattered rumors outside.This kind of thing was originally a nonsense chatter among these backyard women. When someone with strength comes out to stand up, even if they are not from the same camp, they won't have nothing to do, and at most they will mutter to themselves in private.Slowly, those voices gradually died down.

Ai Ruo also knew that she was obviously pretending to be a little pretentious, she was a mature person, she didn't feel happy, but felt a little heavy.Because she is not a child, she has always believed that in this world, there is no free lunch, and what the princess gave her now, she will pay back in the future.

I just want to think about it, she won't worry about one thing for too long, she always has to pay it back, for her, it's useless to worry about it now.When it was time to pay back, she was ready.What they ask of themselves must be sure that they can do it, whoever is afraid of whom.

Jia Zheng was quite happy. Of course, Ai Ruo didn't say anything else, only that the concubine supported her, so everyone stopped talking.Jia Zheng didn't think much about it, Jia Hu still lived in their house, and the Rong Mansion was closed again, because even if someone was found immediately, it would take a year or two to prepare for the marriage, so think about it, it's really not worthwhile for him alone.And there is no one on Ai Ruo's side, it is very deserted, of course, the two good things are good together.

Regarding the rumors outside, he was speechless. He didn't say anything about his second aunt's character. In fact, he really doubted his second aunt's IQ, so he didn't take it to heart. It's not right to take your anger out on Jia Hu.Ai Ruozhen was speechless because of Jia Zheng's childishness.

After a few warm-ups, if Ai Ruo goes to the banquet again, no one will regard Ai Ruo as the wife of a sixth-rank official. She is someone that Princess Rui respects, so naturally she will not really talk about Jia Zheng's official position. .Of course, even if there was no Princess Rui, everyone wouldn't dare to do anything to her. Jia Zheng was in the Imperial College, and each of their families didn't have one or two children in the Imperial College?Who would dare to pick the class teacher's fault?Of course, Ai Ruo also made friends, first of all Mrs. Tang, the two had known each other before, and after meeting a few times, no matter whether she was someone whom Princess Rui could respect, she felt that Ai Ruo's temperament was quite compatible with her , so it's easy to make friends.

So the old lady at the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Punishment celebrated her birthday, and Prince Rui himself is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, so Princess Rui will also come today.The Criminal Department has nothing to do with Jiajiarong's Mansion, but the old lady and Mrs. Wang are sisters. They grew up together. The old lady set up a running water mat. The old lady Wang had already brought her daughter-in-law to sit at the banquet. .Thinking about it, the eldest wife of their family still picked Princess Rui to come to this day, and invited Ai Ruo to come here, at least it was to give old lady Wang and Princess Rui some face.

Ai Ruo went in to pay homage to the old lady's birthday, because she grew up watching her, the old lady was very happy to see Ai Ruo, and she dragged and talked for a long time before letting her out.When they came out, they ran into Mrs. Tang, and the two sat on the side to chat.

So when Princess Rui arrived, she happened to see Ai Ruo talking with Mrs. Tang, seeing Princess Rui appeared, everyone stood up to greet everyone, Princess Rui waved to everyone, sat on the main seat, turned her head and looked at Ai Ruo and said with a smile : "You are early today too!"

"Hey, the concubine made fun of me again. The old lady grew up watching her. Isn't it right to come in early to pay respects?" Ai Ruo also knew that Princess Rui was joking, so she hurriedly laughed, and she didn't ask when she opened her mouth. Instead, the old lady pulled her to talk, showing that Ai Ruo was really different in Princess Rui's heart.

"I mean you've been working hard recently, you can be seen everywhere!" Princess Rui spat at her.

"Isn't my concubine in poor health a few years ago?" Ai Ruo smiled and bowed her head, as if she had admitted her mistake.

"It's because of laziness, it really hurts your laziness, let's see if you're not in good health!"

"According to my concubine, Mrs. Jia has done a lot of things in the village. Just now Mrs. Jia still said that she used the old clothes at home to let the girls of the village make purses, sachets and so on. , put them in shops in the city to sell them on behalf of others, made money, and distributed the money to them. What a great job! You said, what do you think in this brain, we all rewarded the old clothes directly, but never thought It’s better to share the money.”

"Why? It's old. Your family's old clothes are made of good materials. You can wear them for a season at most, so you can reward talents directly!" The princess was really curious.

In fact, everyone's rules are similar, the most common ones are clothes, and the clothes that come out to meet customers are obviously brand new, but they have been worn once, and they can't be worn again.Also, they don't know how to wear the clothes given by outsiders, so they never wore them once, which is really a pity.Therefore, their common habit is to reward people directly, to see who is pleasing to the eye, or to pack a few pieces at home, and reward them.This is a habitual practice, no one would think too much about such a trivial matter, they are all busy people, who would bother with such a small matter.

"In the past, it was for rewarding people. The rule is that Ji Ji has to make new ones. Many of them haven't been worn through. It's really ruined. Before, I also rewarded the girls around me, but the girls in the mansion couldn't wear them all. There are a lot of relatives and relatives at home. I have lived in the village for several years to recuperate. Only then did I realize that there are still a lot of poor people in the village, and many children can’t even wear coarse clothes! It’s really good clothes for them. They are even more wasteful. So I thought of this way, let them cut the clothes, and let them do something to make some money. But when I asked back, they were still reluctant to cut them, so they had no choice but to let the girls cut the clothes Dismantle it and distribute the fabrics to them; however, this will not work. They also save up the materials given to them. What do you mean save to marry a daughter-in-law, or the girls will marry in the future. I am so angry that I can’t help it! Get a piece, let them make purses, pencil bags, etc., exchange silver, and pay according to the work. Then tell them, in the village, marry a daughter-in-law and marry a daughter, and I will make a new wedding dress for you, so slowly They changed their little thinking. Finally, the result is good now, everyone has money, and I finally don’t have to see the little kid in rags when I walk in the village.”

"Did you hear that? In the final analysis, she is afraid that she will be an eyesore!" Princess Rui pointed at Ai Ruo and laughed, but changed the subject, "It's really a doctor's kindness. But, this idea is not good, you are too lazy Yes, this is a long-term plan, really, I have neglected this aspect. You can think about it again!"

"Wangfei has a good idea." The wife of the main family hurriedly joined in the fun.

"No, the second wife reminded me just now that many things are actually done together by everyone, maybe we can make it bigger, cut up good things, even if we make a lot of purses, pencil cases, and really sell them for money. I'm afraid it won't be worth half of the price of the clothes. How many people can I help? Really, every family is like her, and the purse won't be sold at a price." Princess Rui frowned and thought about it, but quickly shook her hand, "Now I can't think of any other ideas, go back and think about it, see if there is a better way?"

"Is the concubine united to do it together? Collect clothes from different families, maybe you can open a ready-made clothing store, which is new, and the price is slightly lower than ours, and then the money earned can be concentrated. Together, donating clothes and administering medicine, taking care of widows and widows and loneliness?”
