There is no doubt that Xie Ronglan just wants to please Liu Ruolan now, just so that he can follow them to the capital.
Although Xie Ronglan has never been to the capital, she can't stop her imagination.
She has seen with her own eyes how prosperous the capital city is, and the capital city is the most important place of a country. It is at the feet of the emperor and the most prosperous place in the whole country. It is where the nobles and talents from all over the country gather. There, she can definitely find herself. The wishful husband.
I have to say that Xie Ronglan really dared to think.
But what she didn't expect was Liu Ruolan's attitude towards her.
Liu Ruolan can be kind to her two nephews because they have always been kind to her daughter, especially Xie Ronghui. As long as he is at home, the eldest brother has no way to bully the mother and daughter.
Just because of this, Liu Ruolan would not show off to Xie Ronghui.
But Xie Ronglan is different.
Although Xie Ronglan is very scheming and knows how to hide things, she is still a child after all. When she was young, she could not hide the contempt she felt for their mother and daughter.
"No, I don't like eating it very much. You can take it back and give it to your sisters."
Xie Ronglan's face froze. She made it with great difficulty. How could she not like to eat it?
"Second aunt, are you blaming me?"
Xie Ronglan was extraordinarily thoughtful. She frowned and her eyes were red, "I know that my mother did something wrong before, but now that she has been abandoned by her father, she has been punished. Second aunt, no matter what, , we are all a family, I know the principle of mother's debt being repaid by daughter, if you don't mind, I will serve you by your side in the future, as a slave and maid, and I will never complain!"
This sounds nice to say, but how could she really be a slave?
Even if she wanted to, it was impossible for Xie Xiuwen and Liu Ruolan to allow her to be so low and humble. Do they want to lose the Xie family's reputation?
Although Liu Ruolan didn't like her, she was clumsy and didn't know how to reject her for a while.
Wang Zizhen, who was on the side, laughed: "Where are these words from the eldest lady? You are the lady of the eldest room, how can you come to the second room to work as a slave? If an outsider hears it, they will think that our wife is deliberately treating you harshly. You must never say this again. Our master has just received the reward and has not officially taken office yet. Please don’t harm our master."
Liu Ruolan felt relieved when she heard this. As expected, her mouth was unsatisfactory.
Xie Ronglan didn't expect that a servant would have such a sharp mouth, but she couldn't argue with him anymore.
"What mama said is that I was quick to talk for a moment, but I will never do it again. I originally wanted to atone for my mother's sins, serve my second aunt, and take care of Sister Zhao. I know that Sister Zhao is smart and smart. , I just heard that Second Aunt has a lot of things to take care of in the capital, and I am also worried that Sister Zhao will not be taken care of, so I said this. I hope Second Aunt will not blame me."
This is really nice to say.
She didn't mention a word about going to the capital, but every sentence hinted that she wanted to go to the capital with her, and it was to atone for Gao's sins.
Tsk tsk, this reason was so upright, I was afraid that Liu Ruolan would not agree again and would still act pitiful with her eyes red.
Wang Zizhen smiled: "Miss, please don't say this again. Now the eldest family has no mistress. You are the eldest daughter of the eldest family. Naturally, you want to help the elder to take care of the family. You also have two young children. As for the younger sister, after all, they need you as the eldest sister more. Although our young lady is young, we are under the control of the madam and the master, so we don’t need to worry about it. "
Xie Ronglan was almost hurt from anger.
Is this Grandma Wang deliberately going against her?
But there was no way. Aunt Wang was sent by the Liu family, and she was not a servant of the Xie family. Xie Ronglan really didn't dare to do anything to her.
Xie Ronglan returned to the room and beat the pillow on the bed angrily. She hated Grandma Wang for ruining her good deeds, and she also hated her second uncle and second aunt for being indifferent.
Xie Ronglan never thought about it. If her parents hadn't gone too far, and if she hadn't had a bad attitude towards her second wife in the past, how could the result be like this?
Even Xie Ronghui, who was adopted into the second room, didn't dare to mention going to the capital with her. How could her niece who lives next door have the dignity?
Xie Xiuwen went to Zhuangzi and picked out two families. They were originally long-term workers here. They did not sign the deed of sale. They lived in poverty and starved to death, but don't expect to live a good life.
Xie Xiuwen signed a twenty-year living contract with the two of them, and then planned to take them to the capital and then send them to the barren mountains.
After returning to Beijing this time, shops in the capital must be opened, and there must be a profitable business.
And the hilltop must also be put to good use.
In addition to the wealth that God had given him there, he also discussed with Guabao to raise some chickens and ducks there, which could then be sent to the shop as ingredients.
In addition, we need to raise some more pigs and sheep. At least half of the problem of eating meat at home can be solved, and giving gifts during the New Year will save us the worry of wandering around outside.
Xie Rongzhao meant that she could live in the villa and then raise livestock and poultry together. Unfortunately, her father saw through her little idea and refused directly.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. You just want to have fun every day. Humph, when you return to Beijing, all the gentlemen who should be found for you must be found. You can no longer be allowed to wander around."
Xie Rongzhao pouted with an aggrieved look on his face, why did he suddenly think of hiring a female teacher for her?
Xie Ronglan later searched for the second roommate several times, but either they were not available, or Xie Xiuwen didn't give her a chance to speak. In short, until the day they returned to Beijing, Xie Ronglan couldn't ask for any more words.
When he learned that Liu Dalang and Cheng Jingzhou were going to the capital with them, Xie Ronglan was so angry that his face almost deformed.
"He helps outsiders but doesn't care about his niece's life and death. How can he talk about being kind? I think it's clear that he is cold-blooded and ruthless!"
No matter how Xie Ronglan scolded him, Xie Xiuwen and his family boarded the ship and left.
When Cheng Jingzhou went to the capital this time, he brought Chang Sheng and Master Wu with him, and Xie Rongen had been practicing martial arts with Master Wu, so he simply went with him.
Fortunately, the yard Fang Hu rented was not too small and could fit in. Otherwise, he would really have to rent a house again.
The journey was uneventful. Xie Xiuwen and his party had just arrived at the city gate when they saw Fang Hu driving over to pick them up.
"Sir, Madam, you have had a hard journey."
Xie Xiuwen didn't have time to change his clothes when he got home, so he asked him first if he had found a shop.
"Don't worry, sir. We have found it. According to your instructions, I sold the bark and trunks of more than a dozen ash trees separately. I got a total of one thousand and eighty-two taels of silver. Currently, I have found two The shops are more suitable and the prices are not high, one is 922 taels and the other is 1,000 taels. I'm just waiting for you to come back and make your decision."
