The brother and brother were talking when they heard the maid's voice to Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan paying tribute to him, "Please pay the third girl, pay the fourth girl, pay the third girl, and pay the fourth girl a blessing."

"How could they come?" Song Huai asked with a frown.

"I gave them a gift, and they came to thank them."

Outside the house, Song Ruochi asked, "Can the second sister be in the room?"

Song Huai smiled, "I heard from my mother that my sister used to be disdainful of doing such face-saving things."

The maid outside the room replied, "Miss Second Girl and Second Young Master are talking in the room."

"I used to be too young and ignorant, but now I am sensible." Song Ruoxi glanced at him, "Huai'er used to be crying, why don't she cry now?"

Song Huai laughed.

"Miss Two, Miss Three and Four are here." The maid reported.

"Please come in with the third and fourth girls." Song Ruoxi responded.

Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan walked in.

"Please pay my respects to my second sister, and my second sister will be blessed." Song Ruochi first invited me to my Song Ruoxi, and then nodded to Song Huai, "Hello, second brother."

"Please pay tribute to my brothers and sisters, and I will be blessed with you." Song Ruojuan bowed.

"Please sit down, two sisters, and have tea." Song Ruoxi said politely.

Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan sat down on the chair, and the maid brought tea.

"Chi'er likes the gift given to Chi'er by the second sister. Thank you for making the second sister spend money." Song Ruochi owed.

"Jun'er also likes it very much, thank you for your second sister." Song Ruojuan said.

Song Ruoxi smiled and said, "I haven't met for many years. I don't know what you like, so I just picked some casually, just like you like."

Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan thanked her again and again. Because Song Huai was sitting next to her with a stern face, they said goodbye and left without even sitting on their butts.

"Sister, don't be fooled by them calling us brothers and sisters intimately. They are very sensible. I don't know what bad ideas they will have. Don't be fooled."

Song Ruoxi sneered and asked, "Are you so easy to deceive when your sister is a three-year-old child?"

"Sister, if you were a three-year-old kid, I would still be in my infancy." Song Huai smiled.

"It's good that you know." Song Ruoxi raised his eyebrows.

That night, Song Sui stayed in the yamen to investigate the case, but did not come back. Ji Yun brought three girls and one son for supper, and four concubines stood beside him in a proper manner.

"Huai'er, your husband is back. Tomorrow, you will start to attend classes in school. Don't be naughty or lazy."

"Mom, my son knows, he will definitely study hard. He will become an official in the future and earn a first-class imperial edict for his mother." Song Huai said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, mom, wait." The children are promising, Ji Yun is happier than anything else. Looking at Song Ruoxi and Song Huai, thinking of her eldest son far away in the capital, the smile on her face is stronger. She gave birth to three good children and will never regret it in her life.

In the next two days, Song Ruoxi's life was very peaceful and regular. She got up early in the morning, went to greet Ji Yun after washing up, and after breakfast with her. When Ji Yun was dealing with her internal affairs, she would go back to the yard, read books, write, and fiddle with musical instruments. After lunch, she would take a nap and take a walk, and wait for dusk, and then go to greet Ji Yun. After dinner, she would chat with Ji Yun, go back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, go to bed, and the day ended.

On this day, Song Ruoxi invited Ji Yun to take care of her. Seeing Song Ruochi sitting obediently in front of Ji Yun, the two were talking gossiping. The four concubines stood beside her like a set board, lowering their eyebrows and narrowing their eyes.

Seeing Song Ruoxi come in, Song Ruochi gets up and salutes, "Second sister, you are here."

"The third sister came earlier than me." Song Ruoxi smiled.

"Please pay tribute to the second girl, I will be blessed with you." The four concubines said in unison.

Song Ruoxi pulled the corner of his mouth. The matter of the concubine's wife setting rules with her husband was so awkward. She was disgusted with each other and insisted on shaking her in front of her every day.

"Xi'er, come to my mother's side." Seeing his precious daughter, Ji Yun's smile on her face became a little more sincere.

"Mom, did you sleep well yesterday?" Song Sui has been busy investigating the case these days. He went out early and returned in the middle of the night. Song Ruoxi was worried about Ji Yun.

"Mom is sleeping well, is Xi'er sleeping well?" Ji Yun stroked Song Ruoxi's hair hanging from her ears, and her movements were gentle.

"Xi'er slept well." Song Ruoxiyi was in Ji Yun's arms, "Mom, I don't want to eat chicken at noon, I eat chicken every day, so tired of eating chicken."

"Okay, if you don't eat chicken, what does Xier want to eat?" Ji Yun hugged her shoulders and smiled with a doting smile on her face.

"I want to eat lotus leaf rice and crispy lamb."

Ji Yun pinched her little nose intimately, "Oh, what a greedy girl."

Song Ruochi looked at the interaction between mother and daughter with enviousness and jealousy. Only the second sister could act so coquettishly in front of her wife, saying whatever she wanted and having whatever she wanted.

"Madam, the fourth girl is here to pay my respects." The maid reported.

Song Huai had already invited An to school. When Song Ruojuan came, Ji Yun ordered the meal to be delivered and breakfast with her three daughters.

"Second sister, after breakfast, let's go to Jinxiu Pavilion together." Song Ruochi said softly.

"Where is Jinxiu Pavilion?" Song Ruoxi asked.

"Your father hired a teacher for your sister to teach you how to read and write. Xi'er, do you want to go to school with your second sister?" Song Sui hired a teacher for his three concubines to teach them how to read and write. These days, Song Ruoxi returned, Ji Yun gave them a few days off. Today is their day to go to school again. As for Song Ruohu, Ji Yun had long said that the big girl is weak and recuperating is important, so she doesn't have to pay attention to anything else. She doesn't have to go to school anymore.

"Mom, I don't want to go." Song Ruoxi was not interested in sitting in the classroom and going to school again. She has been in modern times for more than ten years, which is enough.

"Okay, okay, don't go if you don't want to go. Just recognize the words, and you don't need to write poems and songs all day long."

A hint of suspicion flashed in Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan's eyes. In the past, the second sister liked to recite poems and talked about each other the most, cherishing spring and tragic autumn, and also liked to sit by the pond to play the qin. But in the past few days, she has not done these actions. In five years, her temperament has changed a lot.

After breakfast, Ji Yun had to deal with the affairs of the mansion, and the three girls and four aunts surrendered. Song Ruoxi returned to the room and sat in front of the desk and read quietly. Qinghe rushed over excitedly and said, "Girl, the drunken lotus in the garden is blooming!"

"Drunk hibiscus?" Song Ruoxi looked at her in surprise.

"It's the drunken hibiscus that has changed three times." Qinghe explained.

"You are talking about the three drunken lotus blooming in the morning, snow-white, turning into peach blossoms at noon, and turning into crimson at dusk?" Song Ruoxi asked with his head tilted.

"The girl is right, it's the three-drunk hibiscus. There are two plants in the garden. I heard that every household in Guangling Mansion planted yellow hibiscus and white hibiscus. Only our garden has these two drunk hibiscus plants. Should I go over and take a look?" Qinghe asked with a smile.

"Miss, it's not yet noon, you should be able to see white flowers, and you might be able to see pink in a while." Xiangduo also said to herself.

"Okay, then go and have a look." Song Ruoxi put down the book, "If you want to see the flowers, follow me."

All the maids responded positively and wanted to follow them. Liu Siniang stepped forward and stopped them, asking unhappily: "You all go see the flowers, who can see the yard?"

"Mom Liu, if you don't go to see the flowers, just stay in the yard." Several little maids said in unison. They were only * years old when they loved to play, and were locked in the yard every day by Liu Siniang, learning embroidery and rules, and they couldn't even find a chance to visit the garden. Today, it was rare for the girl to take them there, and no one was willing to stay.

"You guys stay, just have Xiangxiu and some serving the girl." Liu Siniang refused to let them go.

"Wuhan, you are steady in your work. Please stay here to come to the yard. I'm more at ease. They are so frivolous. If no one cares about them, I'm afraid they will break things by naughty." Song Ruoxi helped a few little maids.

When Liu Siniang heard this, she was happy and stayed obediently.

Several little maids went out and said to Song Ruoxi: "Thank you, girl."

Song Ruoxi smiled.

The group walked along the veranda beside the pink wall, and suddenly heard an old woman begging for mercy and heard a sound. The others stopped and looked at each other. Because the pink wall was blocking it, they could not see what was happening there.

Song Ruoxi walked to the window and stood on tiptoe to look over there. An old lady knelt on the ground crying and was talking to Zhuyuan, "Mom Zhu, the fruit plate is really not broken by Lao Nu. Lao Nu has always been honest in doing things. If you do something wrong, you will never hide it. Please Zhu's mother find out about this matter and don't let the account deduct Lao Nu's monthly money. Lao Nu relies on this monthly money to buy medicine for his grandson. Please, Zhu's mother. Please, Zhu's mother."

Zhu Yuan picked her teeth with a round-headed silver hairpin, looked at the distance with her eyes slanted, and was indifferent to the begging for mercy of the old maid kneeling on the ground. The old maid kept kowtowing to her for mercy, and her forehead was bleeding.

"Okay, okay, don't pretend to be pitiful to me here. The rules in the mansion are there, rewards and punishments, and it's very fair. You're deducting your monthly money for a month is already lenient to you. If you want to talk more, don't be a job and get out of the mansion." Zhuyuan said coldly.

"No, Mom Zhu." The old lady kowtowed again and begged for mercy.

Zhu Yuan refused to pay attention to her anymore and walked past the old lady. I don’t know if she thought she was kneeling and blocking the way, or if she was still angry, she kicked her over. The old lady was dizzy when she kowtowed and kowtowed. She kicked her and fell to the ground and couldn’t move.

Song Ruoxi could no longer watch it, so he quickly walked over the crescent door in front of him and said sternly: "Zhuyuan, stop."

"That lifeless bastard, dare to call me mom... Second girl!" Zhuyuan didn't hear that it was Song Ruoxi's voice. She thought it was the maid and scolded her. When she turned around, she found Song Ruoxi standing behind her, glared and shivered, and knelt down.

"Who did you scold me just now?" Song Ruoxi had a gloomy face, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Miss Two, I deserve to die, I don't know it's you. My mouth is a cesspool, it's a shit. Don't keep it in my heart. I deserve to die." Zhuyuan slapped her face twice.

"You were not very majestic just now, why are you asking for forgiveness now?" Song Ruoxi sneered.

Zhu Yuan took a breath. The second girl stayed in the temple for five years, with a Bodhisattva heart and compassion for the world and wanted to help the old guy stand up. This was not true. She hurriedly said: "Girl, that Tao Mom, she broke things, and I taught her a lesson. It was not me who showed off her power."

"What did she break? How much silver is worth?" Song Ruoxi ignored Zhuyuan's argument and asked in a deep voice.

"She broke the red-glazed blue and white fruit plate and asked for four taels of silver."

"How much is her monthly money?"

"Three hundred coins." Zhuyuan lowered his head, and his eyes turned around.

"The fruit plate costs four taels of silver, and her monthly money is only three hundred yuan. If you want her to pay for the fruit plate, the monthly money you deduct for one month will be deducted less."

When Tao's mother heard this, she was frightened and sat on the ground. After that, she had lost more than a year of money. How could she and her grandson survive?

"What the girl said is that she should deduct her monthly money for one year and two months." A smug smile flashed across Zhuyuan's lips.

Song Ruoxi noticed the smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Where is the fruit plate placed? How did it break it?"

"The fruit plate was placed in the small kitchen warehouse. She broke it when she went to get the dishes." Zhuyuan answered like a stream.

"Did someone see with their own eyes that she broke the fruit plate?"

"At that time, she was the only one who went in alone. If she didn't break it, who could have broken it?" Zhuyuan said for granted.

"Are you questioning me?" Song Ruoxi snorted coldly.

"No, I dare not."
