Xie Rongzhao originally didn't want to come to the appointment, but thinking that Xie Ronglan was her cousin, she sent people to the Cheng family. If she didn't come, it would look like she was ignorant.
Liu Ruolan's excuse was also very simple. She was married, but her cousin never came to visit her. She just took this opportunity to come over and acknowledge her, and she would move around more in the future.
Xie Rongzhao did not think that Xie Ronglan would do something that was of no use to her.
Therefore, Xie Rongzhao was very wary of her from the beginning.
Sure enough, after just having a cup of tea, Xie Ronglan looked at her wrists seriously and said, "My sister's wrists are really beautiful, white and slender. I happen to have a pair of silver bracelets here, so I think they are a gift for my sister." ”
Xie Rongzhao frowned, obviously not understanding what she said.
"Hey, my sister is already wearing a bracelet on her hand. Let's take it off first. How about we try this pair."
Xie Rongzhao was suspicious and naturally refused to take off the bracelet.
"No need. I saw that my eldest sister is wearing this bracelet just right. My wrist is a little thinner and it is easy to fall off when I put it on. It's not as good as my sister's wearing it just right."
Xie Ronglan twitched the corner of her mouth, was she scolding herself for being fatter than her?
"Since I said I would give it to you, why would I take it back? Sister, let's give it a try."
Xie Rongzhao was impatient and tried to make excuses with her again: "Eldest sister, please keep it by yourself. You said you came to me to discuss something. What is it about?"
Seeing that she refused to take off the bracelet, Xie Ronglan knew that she couldn't force it, so she had to put the bracelet away and said seriously: "That's it. I heard that Mrs. Cheng was ill a few days ago. Is she fine now?"
Xie Rongzhao just felt that there was something wrong with this question.
Didn’t you send people to Cheng Mansion?
Then why not just prepare a gift for Cheng Mansion and send it there? It's normal to visit the doctor, so why bother asking yourself again?
"Well, it's okay now."
Xie Ronglan smiled a little reluctantly: "That's good. As for me, I originally wanted to visit, but I was worried that it would be inconvenient for Mrs. Cheng to see guests, so I kept putting it off. By the way, Sister Zhao and Sanlang Cheng's family The marriage was decided since childhood, so you must have known Cheng Yuanyuan, right?"
Xie Rongzhao raised his eyebrows: "Eldest sister knows her?"
Xie Ronglan looked confused: "We know each other, but this Cheng Yuanyuan is not easy to get along with. She had a dispute with me before. I haven't gone to Cheng's house to visit her for a long time because I don't want to meet her."
Xie Rongzhao was noncommittal, always feeling that there was nothing good in her taking the initiative to mention Cheng Yuanyuan.
"Sister Zhao, I also want to ask you to be a lobbyist. Cheng Yuanyuan and I just have a little misunderstanding. Whether I offended her or she refused to let others deal with it, our two families are all relatives. It's really a big deal. Yes, everyone’s face looks bad, don’t you think?”
Xie Rongzhao smiled and said: "What eldest sister said, I don't even know what happened between you. How can I make peace with it? Besides, I'm just a child. You should still make peace with this kind of thing." It's also okay to go to Aunt Cheng or my grandma."
Xie Ronglan choked, this girl couldn't say anything nice.
"Forget it, I'm just worried. I'll go to the Cheng Mansion myself later."
Xie Ronglan ordered someone to bring some refreshments and asked her to have lunch here.
Xie Rongzhao didn't want to stay. He always felt that if he stayed any longer, his bracelet would be in danger.
Seeing that she was determined to leave, Xie Ronglan didn't try too hard to persuade her to stay, but just forced the pair of bracelets into her hands.
Xie Rongzhao had already boarded the carriage, and it was hard to return the things.
On the street, if I just throw things back, I don't know what kind of words will be spread.
Chen Xia opened the box and looked at it: "Miss, this is somewhat similar to the bracelet you are wearing, but it is easy to distinguish."
Xie Rongzhao just glanced at it lightly, and then subconsciously touched the bracelet on his wrist without making a sound.
"Miss, why do you think this eldest lady insists on your coming here? Could it be that she just wants to give you a pair of silver bracelets?"
Of course it's impossible!
Xie Ronglan has always had the temper to do nothing early.
Xie Rongzhao focused his attention on the small box again. Was this bracelet prepared by Xie Ronglan, or was it someone else?
Two days later, Xie Rongzhao returned to Xie's house. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xie Ronglan first. She was a little surprised. Why did Xie Ronglan return to her parents' home?
When Xie Rongzhao noticed a figure behind her, he narrowed his eyes: "Who is this?"
Wang Ximeng hurriedly came out to salute: "I would like to say hello to Miss Xie San. My surname is Wang. I am currently working in an embroidery workshop in the county. Miss Xie is filial and said that I want to make clothes for the old lady. I came here specially to have the clothes tailored to my needs."
Xie Rongzhao nodded slightly and went straight back to his yard.
Xie Ronglan whispered: "Is your plan feasible? But don't mess with this person. She is the eyeball of the Xie family and no one can touch her."
"Don't worry, eldest lady, we are not doing evil things like killing people and selling goods, so we can't be so worried."
Xie Ronglan patted her chest carefully, still feeling a little uneasy.
"Miss, I will go and measure the old lady first. You can find a suitable opportunity and take out the bracelet."
"Are you sure? I don't see anything strange about that bracelet."
"Miss, if we can see the secret, how can we still stay in a small place like Gaoyang County? The noble man said that the bracelet was originally someone's old thing, and he just wanted to take it back for peace of mind. What if? The third young lady is easy to talk to, but no noble man would come up with such a method."
Xie Ronglan thought the same thing.
People said they had given her money, but she was unwilling to take out the bracelet, so she could only think of something else.
"Wang Ximeng, if I get this bracelet, can you really agree to what I want?"
"Don't worry, young lady, you have your own opinion on this matter. The beautiful articles in the capital will be delivered to Mr. Chen as soon as possible. After that, there will be the provincial examination and the general examination. Naturally, he will sing loudly all the way and be invincible."
This sounds so comfortable.
Xie Ronglan saw that Chen Erlang had a good appearance and was very considerate to her, so she didn't want to make peace with him.
However, the status of a talented lady is really too low.
If he can win the prize, he will have dignity when he goes out in the future.
Of course, the main reason why Xie Ronglan agreed to Wang Ximeng's offer was because he was focused on the reward of one hundred taels of silver.
Although Xie Ronglan's dowry was quite large, most of it was dead goods. In terms of money, Xie Xiuran couldn't get much out of it, so Grandma Xie stuffed her with a hundred taels of money at the bottom of the box, and later added the money given by each house. To put on makeup, I barely scraped together one hundred and fifty taels of silver.
It sounds like a lot, but Xie Ronglan knows how to spend it!
"Miss, go quickly. As soon as it's done, one hundred taels of silver will be given to you right away."
