Geng Xingchen didn't realize the meaning of Geng Xingshuang's words for a moment, but when she connected what Geng Xingshuang said in the main courtyard with what she just said, she suddenly understood. She looked at Geng Xingshuang with wide eyes, with shock and excitement in her eyes. ……admire.
"Fifth sister, you... lied to grandma?"
"It's not a lie. Yu Yapo and Wang Yaren did meet on Changning Street. There was a quarrel between the two before. Wang Yaren looked down on Yu Yapo's evil deeds. Yu Yapo thought Wang Yaren was too nosy and fake. Qing Gao, when the two met, they couldn't help but quarrel. The shop assistants who opened the door early saw it. As for the content of the quarrel between the two..."
Geng Xingshuang smiled and said, "Even if Yu Yapo denies it, so what? Can my grandmother and my second uncle still send people to ask the guys who heard their quarrel?"
Naturally, he won't do this. "What if we go to Wang Yaren?"
Two years ago, their family's servants were sold through Wang Yaren. Although they were sold outside Ningdu, most of them were sold to wealthy families as servants, and a small part were sold to restaurants. The inn and other waiters have a good place to go.
The Wang Ya people have a very good reputation and have connections with many wealthy families in Ningdu, and the Geng family is no exception.
"They won't ask Wang Yaren, because no matter whether Yu Yapo told him about the deal with our house, Wang Yaren won't tell him. He will only talk about insignificant things to deal with my grandmother and second uncle. They sent someone there, so there’s no point in finding him or not.”
Geng Xingchen thought about it and thought it made sense.
Indeed, their Anping family is gradually declining. A hundred years after my grandfather, their family will have to move away from Qingning Street where the Haoying family gathers. But no matter what, they are still a family with a title. Even if they don't have a title, With Wang Ya's shrewdness, he would only say things that were beneficial to himself.
"Fifth sister, have you planned to say this a long time ago?"
"No, after learning from Li Deng in the morning that there was such a quarrel between Yu Yapo and Wang Yaren, I vaguely felt that I might be able to draw something from it, but I didn't think about it in detail. I just faced Mrs. Bo in the main courtyard, Even when Mother Qiao was in a green state, she naturally made the response that I thought was most appropriate at the time."
Seeing that Geng Xingchen asked seriously, Geng Xingshuang also thought carefully about his actions and then told the truth.
"Fifth sister, you are so amazing!"
"Um?"
Geng Xingshuang almost lost herself under Geng Xingchen's increasingly admiring gaze.
"Am I really that powerful? Should Sixth Sister's reaction be mentioned in the letter?"
"It's amazing. In front of my grandmother, I couldn't say a word of the words I had thought of before. It was just like when I had a fight with my fourth sister before. I was so angry that I couldn't say a word. When I thought about it afterwards, I couldn't say a word. I found out that I actually had a lot to say to refute her, and I could make her speechless, but by then it was too late!"
Geng Xingchen has gone through this experience of losing control at critical moments several times, and he beats his chest every time he thinks about it.
So today I saw with my own eyes that Geng Xingshuang told such a rigorous and unbreakable lie in front of her grandmother without changing her expression. How could she not admire her fifth sister and her immediate reaction.
"Sixth sister also performed very well today!"
Geng Xingshuang also affirmed Geng Xingchen's ability to hold on and not retreat at the critical moment.
Geng Xingchen thought about it and felt that he had made progress today compared to before, and he became happy at the moment.
"My mother would be very happy if she knew that she wouldn't have to pay any money this year."
Although her mother is now vacillating, the money she earned is real. Even if she pays back the 60 taels of silver that Fifth Sister helped to redeem Xianglan, she still saves 180 taels of silver.
Geng Xingchen was happily calculating the small accounts of the third room, but Geng Xingshuang was wondering if her uncle had gotten more information from Yu Yapo. She didn't think Xia's purpose was just the one hundred and ten taels of silver. If so, how could she easily agree to waive the use of the three bedrooms in the big house for a year? She suffered a huge loss from this deal.
My specious threat was so useful to Madam Uncle. This shows that her step-grandmother must have something more important. For that more important thing, she would rather lose nearly 500 taels of silver and choose to settle down. .
The two sisters each thought about their own concerns and became quiet for a while.
At this moment, a figure passed by on the path next to them. Geng Xingshuang did not see it clearly because there were several winter jasmine flowers on the road they were walking on.
"Girl, fifth girl, was the third girl who just ran over?"
Bai Zhi, who was still following Geng Xingchen, recognized the figure.
"Is it the third sister? Why is she walking so fast?"
Geng Xingchen was surprised. Although he couldn't see clearly, the figure just flashed by.
Geng Xingshuang turned around and happened to see a trace of snow-green clothes disappearing around the corner of the main courtyard wall.
"The third girl is wearing a snow-green pleated skirt embroidered with ink orchid today." Bai Zhi confirmed the identity of the figure again.
"Third sister, are you going to the main courtyard? Could it be that she went back and thought about it, and still felt that Shen Shui couldn't be pushed into the fire pit like that, so she went to beg her grandmother?"
Geng Xingchen used her imagination, she was very curious.
Geng Xingshuang was also very curious. She found that her feet were a little unable to move, and there seemed to be nothing to do next. Even if there was something, it was not too urgent, or it could not be solved by just saving a little time. In that case...
"Well, cough, Sixth Sister, do you want to learn how people communicate with each other? This time, we are observing the communication methods between ancestors and grandchildren."
Geng Xingshuang asked seriously.
Geng Xingchen nodded politely, "I really want to!"
very good!
"Then... let's go!"
When the two sisters came to the front door of the main courtyard again, Shiliu was stretching her ears to listen to the noise in the main room. When she saw Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen, she was a little confused.
"Miss Five, Miss Six, didn't you just leave just now?"
"Oh, it's okay. We felt that staying indoors was too much to live up to the beautiful spring scenery, so we just walked around and enjoyed the scenery."
Geng Xingshuang was very insincere and made up lies.
But Pomegranate nodded with deep understanding, "I don't like to stay in the house, either. The sun is so warm that people feel most comfortable dozing under the sun... Um... Miss Five, Miss Six, do you want to go in?" ? This slave has to report it."
Pomegranate braked suddenly. It was so dangerous that she almost said what she was thinking.
"Forget it, we won't go in. We just disturbed grandma's lunch break, and we don't dare to disturb her again now."
"Mrs. Bo doesn't have a lunch break. Even if she has a lunch break, she won't be able to take a break. The three girls just went in."
Pomegranate pouted. Mother Qiao had just said that she had neglected her duties. When the third girl came just now, she did not doze off at all. She was about to go in to report, but the third girl ignored her at all and rushed in by herself. She was busy He also followed in, but was chased out by Qiao's mother like a fly.
Thinking of this, Shiliu felt even more unhappy. During dinner, she wanted to have a lively chat with her mother. No matter how powerful Qiao's mother was, she still had to support and coax her mother when she met her.
