"Going back? What did grandma say? How did she deal with the two of them?"
Geng Xingchen asked immediately.
Seeing the light of expectation flashing in his girl's bright eyes, Jin Bao shook his head and said in a regretful tone, "Mrs. Uncle didn't deal with them, but just asked them to go back first."
"Just let them go like this?" Geng Xingchen still didn't want to believe it.
Geng Xingshuang asked: "Where is the third sister?"
"You should go back too!" Jin Bao imitated the voice and tone of Mrs. Xia's uncle, and repeated the conversation in the room word for word.
"Grandma?" The delicate voice filled with doubts was naturally Geng Xingbing's.
Jinbao held his breath and paused for a moment.
"Only you, Yan Lizhu, the Liu Dazhu family, Ruan Feixu, Lu Wu, and Mother Qiao know about this matter. The Liu Dazhu family, Mother Qiao, and Lu Wu will definitely not tell anyone..."
Jinbao paused again for a moment. Even though he couldn't see what was going on inside the room, Geng Xingshuang could guess that when her grandmother said these words, her shrewd walnut eyes must have been looking at Mother Qiao and Lu Wu. Intentionally or unintentionally, they glanced at Liu Dazhu's family, and at this moment, these three people must have shown a look of loyalty that would not open their mouths even if the sword was placed on their necks.
"As for Yan Lizhu and Ruan Feixu, I think your mother can also control them. They will not dare to say another word about this matter in the future, otherwise... so..."
"Grandma, you must not!"
Before Xia could finish her words, Geng Xingbing interrupted her eagerly.
Jinbao paused again for a moment. Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen looked at each other. The two sisters simultaneously demonstrated in their minds the scene of the confrontation between the Xia family and Geng Xingbing's grandson.
"Grandma, you see, my granddaughter has not had much contact with Yan's mother or the Liu Dazhu family. The Liu Dazhu family is not even a servant of Yinghe Courtyard, but my granddaughter accidentally found out about this. Grandma, there is no one in the world. The wall is airtight. If one day, the news spreads throughout Ningdu City that the lady of the uncle's house is living in the land of fireworks, then how will the uncle's house, my father, and us, the ladies of the house, deal with themselves, and even the married eldest daughter... The second sister and the second sister will also be deeply implicated..."
Geng Xingbing paused slightly.
"Besides, grandma is the most kind-hearted. For Yan's mother, Liu Dazhu's family, and Qiao's mother Luwu, apart from stern instructions, grandma can't use any other means. So in order to prevent the matter from being exposed and triggering an uncontrollable incident. As a result, for the current plan, my granddaughter thinks that the best way is to take Shen Shui home and recognize her as the third girl of the uncle's house. As long as the secret is no longer a secret, it will not become a weapon for others to attack the uncle's house."
Geng Xingbing had a firm expression and sincere eyes, and glanced at Qiao's mother and Lu Wu as if unintentionally.
Although Qiao's mother and Lu Wu stood quietly with hands down as before, their moods fluctuated rapidly with the conversation between Xia and Geng Xingbing.
"Three Sister's words..."
Geng Xingchen scratched her head and loosened her bun, which had been pulled out by the crabapple tree. However, she didn't care about it and just let Bai Zhi help her tidy it up, while she leaned close to Geng Xingshuang's ear. He whispered: "Fifth sister, do you think that the third sister can't speak today as well as before?"
"At first glance, the third sister's words sounded like a double-edged sword. It seemed like she was deliberately reminding her grandmother that she would have to resort to extreme means if she wanted to keep the secret, and it also seemed like she was trying to save the lives of Yan's mother and other insiders. , and it seems that grandma is a ruthless person who will not hesitate to attack her own people in order to keep secrets, just like the master-servant relationship between grandma and Liu Dazhu's family, Qiao's mother, and Lu Wu..."
"That's it, that's it..." Geng Xingchen nodded repeatedly, that's what she was thinking, "Fifth sister, your conclusion is so right!"
"But if you think about it carefully, after your grandmother, Liu Dazhu's family, and Qiao's mother calm down, will they blame the third sister again?"
Geng Xingshuang asked next. Jinbao realized that she was just a sounding board and that this question was not for her, so she continued to listen attentively to what was going on in the room.
The two masters and servants, Geng Xingchen and Bai Zhi, thought carefully and deduced the possible mental processes of Mrs. Bo's master and servant.
"It seems that we three girls are still kind-hearted, very good... very good... For a family like ours, the title has reached the last generation. If we want to continue to extend the splendor of this beautiful family, the younger members of the family must have noble character and good character." Maintaining a clean family tradition is the most important thing, it seems grandma was right about you."
Jinbao once again repeated Xia's words word for word.
Hearing this, Geng Xingshuang knew that this scene was over for the time being, of course, only temporarily.
"Let's go back."
A group of four masters and servants came quietly and left quietly without attracting the attention of the main courtyard.
"I'm not wrong. From now on, the fifth sister will move back to become the sixth sister, and I will become Miss Geng Qi!"
Geng Xingbing followed Geng Xingchen directly back to Qingcui Courtyard. She had to wait for news from Xianglan. It happened that Geng Xingshuang took advantage of this time to discuss various matters regarding Mingshang Pavilion's shoes and boots.
"First of all, in terms of manpower, if you have your own considerations, I will not interfere. If not, I will recruit with the embroiderer."
In fact, Geng Xingshuang already has some ready-made garment makers and embroiderers. They have all become familiar with the drawings and embroidery samples in her hands in the past two years. However, before they only sold them on consignment in other ready-made garment shops or embroidery shops, but now not only To supply goods to three garment shops and an embroidery workshop with which they have always cooperated well, and to support the Ming Shang Pavilion, the manpower previously available was naturally insufficient.
So this time we still have to recruit some people. In fact, what Geng Xingshuang wants to recruit the most, and what is most urgently needed right now, is besides tailors and embroiderers, and...according to what she said in her dream, she should be called "costume designers". Talent, but as far as she knows, there is no such industry in Daning today. Most of the clothes are made by tailors and embroiderers based on existing styles or slightly modified. Of course, there are also innovations, but not many , and the new styles are mixed in terms of comfort and beauty.
Although Geng Xingshuang herself can hold the position of "designer", Mingshang Pavilion cannot always sell the styles she draws. Not to mention that she doesn't have so much energy, but that those female relatives who are very discerning will eventually... …how do you say that word…
Geng Xingshuang frowned and thought for a moment, "Aesthetic fatigue!"
This word is really vivid.
"I'm not tired of the clothes you came up with, Fifth Sister! I like every one of them."
Geng Xingchen immediately expressed his stance.
It was not until the time of Shen Zheng that Geng Xingshuang finally received the news from his uncle and spent one hundred and twenty taels of silver to redeem Xianglan and Banjuan from Yu Yapo.
"Girl, my uncle asked me to tell you that when he left Liu'er Hutong, he seemed to have seen the carriage in our house. He stayed and looked at it for a while, and finally the carriage stopped in front of Granny Yu Ya's house."
Hua Lian didn't know what Geng Xingbing went to the main room to talk about at noon, so when she heard the Ruan family's young man Liu Fu, she only hurriedly asked her what Geng Xingshuang had told her to ask before, and hurried away. When I got back, I forgot to ask Liu Fu to have a cup of tea with the concierge.
