“Selling private salt?”

Zhang Juling looked at Yang Ruo, "...This is a serious crime of beheading."

"Who said no?"

Yang Ruo smiled: "However, all the ways to make huge amounts of money are serious crimes."

He paused and said, "But some people just love money and don't live..."

Zhang Juling remained silent. He was just a Hanlin Academy editor now and could not do anything... The sun was about to set in the distant sky.

Zhang Juling bowed and said goodbye to Yang Ruo.

Yang Ruo stood there without moving.

A few days ago, when the fourth sister went home to visit relatives and chatted with her mother, she talked about Gu Han’s happy things.

She married into the Zhang family for several years and finally got pregnant... It was a great joy.

He should have been happy for her, but his chest was so stuffy that it was unhappy.

"Young Master, let's go back too?"

Seeing that his young master was staring at the direction of Lord Zhang leaving, Deshun asked him tentatively.

"No, I'll go to the south wing room of Zuoshunmen first. I want to ask my father about private salt reselling."

Dong Pavilion is located in the south wing of Zuoshunmen, which is a place where Yang Siyuan works.

Deshun agreed and followed Yang Ruo to the back of Qianbu Lobby.

The clouds were dyed red by the sunset, golden and like flames.

Sun was invited by Wang to watch the show for a day. When he was about to sit in the Osmanthus Garden, he sat and drank tea.

"You try this."

Zhang Jusi brought Sun a plate of red bean cake and explained with a smile: "... The cooked red beans and snow sugar are made together. They are sweet and delicious, and can also replenish qi and blood."

"Miss Four is diligent."

But Sun did not answer: "...It would be better if the girls did the little things to serve.

You are the fourth lady in the mansion and have a noble status.

Don't have to do this for me."

Since she learned about Zhang Jusi’s intentions, she felt petty when she saw Zhang Jusi’s small actions again.

Which real lady would personally serve tea and water for the guests? No matter how well-behaved and meticulous, she would be suspicious of being self-deprecated.

Zhang Jusi's body stiffened and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wang. "Mrs. My wife doesn't know that Si is filial and does everything in the morning and evening.

When she saw you, she felt kind and must have regarded you as me."

“…It’s your blessing.”

When Wang said this, Sun smiled.

He waved his hand and asked Li Yu to pick up the red bean cake.

Zhang Jusi sat back in his seat, feeling a little embarrassed.

Sun's attitude today is very different from yesterday... What exactly happened?

She didn't do anything either.

Could it be that there was something wrong with which fish I sent last night?

Wang smiled reluctantly and told Sun that the girl would go to the hairpin next month. "The child grew up in a blink of an eye, and after the wedding ceremony, he would go to find his husband's house."

Sun also expressed his feelings: "Yes.

Children grow up quickly... When the wind blows, they will be the same every day.

Just like Brother Chun.”

If she followed Wang's words, she would be afraid that she would mention Zhang Jusi's marriage in the next sentence.

She is not fooled.

Seeing that he talked about his son, Ning took a sip of tea and smiled: "Brother Chun is a bit picky to eat.

He is not as tall as a child of average age.”

Her parents' nephew Ruan Ge'er was born in the same year as Chun Ge'er, but she was a little taller than Chun Ge'er.

Chun Ge'er was sitting beside her mother eating silk candy. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she looked back with her eyes wide open, "... Tangtang, sweet."

His face is so pretty and cute.

Everyone laughed kindly.

"Good boy, eat."

Wang looked at the eldest grandson with love.

After talking for a while, Sun came out of the Osmanthus Garden.

As soon as she left, Wang said to Ning: "Old guy, you have been tired for a day, go back and rest."

Ning looked at her mother-in-law's face, whispered "Yes", and hugged Chun Ge'er and stepped back.

"Mother."

The people in the room slowly left.

Only Zhang Jusi and Wang were left.

She felt a little panicked.

Wang ignored the girl's cry, and she lowered her head and drank the tea in the bowl.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Jusi was even more panicked, "Don't stop talking, Sister Si is afraid."

"Do you still know how scared?"

Wang's bowl fell heavily on the small table.

"Mother, what did my daughter do wrong?

You said it straight."

Zhang Jusi bit her lip and went to Wang to act coquettishly.

The girl's pitiful little look made Wang's angry a little. She said earnestly: "You are a dignified lady, and you always have to hold your airs up... Your father and I can't bear to serve you tea and water, why do you show your kindness to an outsider so much..."

"I don't."

Zhang Jusi whispered: "My daughter just brought pastries to Mrs. Gu Er..."

"Also quibble."

Wang looked up at the girl: "What is the difference between serving pastries and serving tea? Haven't you served tea yesterday?"

She snorted coldly: "I heard that you asked the girl to go to Qiulan Pavilion last night to send the boiled fish with spicy and sour water?"

Zhang Jusi was stunned, and then anger surged up.

Yue Lantang really informed her mother! She muttered unwillingly: "When I go back, I will definitely deal with those slaves and let them gossip."

"Do whatever else's business is.

This is what Sun said to me herself. She also said that the fish was too spicy and could not be eaten..." Wang was so angry that she couldn't get a good deal of steel. Seeing that the girl was obsessed with her, she no longer went around with her: "I know what you think, and I'm not sure that you can make it clear to you today... You can't marry the Gu family. Don't say that Sun doesn't agree, even if she agrees, I won't agree."

"Why?"

Zhang Jusi was surprised and puzzled: "Mother, stop saying anything else Gu Nuan is not worthy of me. I just like him and want to marry him.

I admit that I have suffered and suffered."

"Sister Si'er!"

Wang's anger also came up: "The Gu family is a wealthy family. If you marry, you can't even get along with your sister-in-law..."

"Mother."

Zhang Jusi said stubbornly: "I can learn it.

No one can do anything at birth.”

When Wang saw the girl talking back, she was so angry that she couldn't speak. She picked up the empty bowl at her hand and wanted to hit Zhang Jusi.

Zhang Jusi didn't move at all, and looked at her mother with wide eyes.

The girl's eyes were very similar to what she had born, and there were tears flashing inside. Wang was reluctant to let it go again. Suddenly, she thought of her dead eldest son. Tears couldn't stop flowing down and cried: "Brother Ning, once you die, no one will be filial to your mother... Mother might as well go with you, so she can't worry about your sister's affairs every day, but she doesn't appreciate it."

Madam Xu and the others were all guarding outside the door. When they heard the noise inside, the wife cried and looked at An Qi, and they carried the curtains into the room.

When Zhang Jusi saw her mother crying, she was so scared that she knelt on the ground. She didn't want to compromise and choked up.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

Xu Zhu walked to Wang, "Miss is ignorant, you are so angry."

"...She doesn't listen to anything I say. Why am I still alive and why would I die."

"I don't."

Zhang Jusi said while crying: "You insisted on forcing me... What's wrong with me if I want to marry into the Gu family?"

It was already this time, and the girl was still stubborn. Wang couldn't bear it anymore. He got up and grabbed Zhang Jusi and beat him.

The slap did not hurt much when it fell on her body, but Zhang Jusi was shocked.

Not to mention beating her, my mother rarely scolded her once since she was a child.

Tears rolled like beads with broken threads.

"Madam, Miss Four has grown up and dare not beat her again."

When Xu Xu saw that Wang was really going to beat Zhang Jusi, he hurriedly stopped him with An Xu.

“…Miss, please hide.

Let your wife admit it wrong.”

An Xu looked at Zhang Jusi who was beating and scolding, and felt very distressed.

The room was in chaos, and Zhang Juan, who had returned from the yamen, came to pay his respects to his mother.

He is now in the Ministry of Personnel to observe politics. Although he is free, he has many places to study.

Sometimes when I come back late, I don’t come to Osmanthus Garden.

As soon as Zhang Juan came in, he went to pull his mother, "Mother, please say something."

While speaking, he poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Wang.

Seeing that his second son was back, Wang also had a backbone, he sat upright and said, "Brother An, please advise your sister well, she will make me angry."

Zhang Juan had a smile on his face and rubbed Wang's back: "Si Jie'er is still young, teach her well and she can understand."

Wang sighed and told his second son about the cause and effect, "She is determined to marry Gu Nuan, but I can't say it thousands of times."

Zhang Juan walked to his sister and reached out to help her up: "I have seen him twice, and I am very proud."

He saw his sister's mouth curling up and looking proud, and said, "...but his family background is complicated, and you will definitely suffer a loss after marrying with such a temper.

Just listen to your mother, she will never harm you."

"Second brother!"

Zhang Jusi wiped her tears: "Why are you talking about the same thing as your mother?"

Zhang Juan rubbed his sister's hair and his voice softened: "The Gu family now has three bedrooms, and the eldest is Gu Jingran, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. He has two sons.

The eldest son Gu Shu passed the Jinshi and observed politics in the Ministry of Rites.

Gu Nuan is in the second room.

Although Mr. Gu, who is a third wife, is a businessman, his wife is the daughter of Mr. Yang, and Yang Ruo is the foreigner of the third wife of the Gu family... Their relationship is complicated, and any life experience is better than ours.

Once you get married, you are looked down upon.

How can you live your life in the future?”

Zhang Jusi didn't speak for a while this time, as if he had listened.

The second brother said so much, only one sentence came to her heart.

She Zhang Jusi is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid of being looked down upon.

Wang looked at the girl and shook her head, and said to An Xu, who was beside her, "Take you four ladies down."

The light dimmed, and a girl came in and lit the candle.

Zhang Jusi was discouraged and too lazy to say anything. After bowing his body and bowing, he turned around and walked out.

Then Wang took his second son to sit down and asked about his recent diet and daily life with concern.

"Son is all right, mother rest assured."

Zhang Juan waved his hand and asked the girl who was serving him to go down, and said in a low voice: "My mother asked me to check the inside story of the elder brother's death, there is really no clue."

He didn't believe that the third brother would kill the elder brother, but his mother's repeated begging still made him feel compassion... He thought that it would be better to check it out, so that his mother's heart would be more at ease.

"Mother doesn't believe it."

Wang's hands tightly clenched, "I dreamed of your elder brother last night, with blood on his face, crying and asking me to avenge him."

"Mother……"

Zhang Juan shook his head, "Don't say that anymore.

Let my father hear it and scold you again."

Once the eldest brother died, his mother seemed to have hysteria and was in a bad mood.

Wang sighed and closed his eyes. Because of the eldest son, Zhang Xiu hadn't come to Osmanthus Garden for a long time.

First, she blamed her for not raising her eldest son and let him cause trouble.

Second, he came every time, and he said that Zhang Juling had harmed his eldest son...

She also complained in her heart that Ning Ge'er is not her own child, so did Zhang Xiu have no responsibility to raise the child?

It was getting dark outside, and the lanterns illuminated by Zhang's mansion were hung one after another.

As soon as Zhang Juling returned to Qiulan Pavilion, he heard bursts of laughter coming from Xijima.

My wife should be very happy.

The little girl at the door saw him bowing and saluting: "Secret Master Third."

"Who is inside?"

He asked.

"It's Mrs. Gu Er, Miss Fifth."

Zhang Juling nodded and picked up the curtain and went in.

He saw Sun and Gu Xi and bowed and bowed: "Mother-in-law, fifth sister."

Sun waved his hand to get him up and said, "Sister Han is a little bored by himself, so let's talk to her."

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

Zhang Juling's tall figure was slightly bowed, and he had the respect of being a son-in-law.
