The afternoon sun shines on the fish pond by the rockery, a few koi fish leisurely shuttle under the spring stones, and the autumn cicadas crouch on the branches and sing.

Inside the house, the ladies were sitting around the table making tea and chatting. At this moment, Fei Ruyi had all kinds of tea sets in front of him, and he was explaining the uses of these tea sets to Xie Xiaowan one by one.

"Longjing tea is best brewed with Longjing water, Tiger Hill tea is best brewed with Hupao Spring, and pineapple tea is best brewed with Longchi water. There are clouds in the tea scripture: eight points of tea are soaked in ten points of water, and the tea is also ten points, and ten points of tea are soaked in eight points of water, so the tea is only eight points, which shows the importance of making tea with water! Fei Ruyi put the tea leaves into the tea sieve with a teaspoon, and explained carefully, and the action was pleasing to the eye.

Xie Xiaowan couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said with a smile: "It turns out that drinking tea is so particular, in the past, people used to put tea leaves in the pot and drink them with boiling water. ”

Fei Jixiang smiled: "Sister Xiaowan, unwashed tea is mud tea, and you can't drink it." ”

Fei Xiaoyu pouted and said, "I think the taste is similar, why do you drink tea and make it so troublesome." ”

Fei Jixiang quipped: "So the fifth sister is a vulgar thing, and the third sister is a fairy!" ”

The girls giggled.

Fei Xiaoyu said disappreciatively: "Anyway, I can't learn the third sister in this life, wouldn't it be good to be a happy and happy vulgar thing." ”

Fei Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled: "So the fifth sister is the most enviable." ”

Fei Xiaoyu said with a smile: "The third sister is enviable, look at this spring breeze on her face, everyone wants to bite your face." ”

Fei Ruyi's appearance is the most outstanding of the three sisters, her face is ruddy at the moment, her beautiful eyes are sparkling, and she is even more intoxicating.

It's no wonder that although Xu Jin sent a sketch portrait before, he didn't actually make a clear statement, which made Fei Ruyi always in a state of gain and loss, but today Xu Jin risked three thousand taels for her Geng Ti, and finally even went into battle shirtless and snatched Geng Ti back with violence, which is already self-evident to her intentions.

So Fei Ruyi's heart is steady, her mood is as light as the spring breeze at the moment, and her joy is beyond words, and the girl who is already stunning is naturally more beautiful.

Fei Ruyi glanced at Xiaomei and said, "Fifth sister is talking nonsense and saying some bastard things again, Xiaowan sister doesn't need to pay attention to her, I'll teach you to boil water." The water used to make tea should not be too old, and it is not good to be too tender, so it is best to use the second boiling water......"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and all the beautiful women looked at each other, only to see three handsome scholars walking in, it was the brothers Xu Jin and Fei Maoxian.

"Xianggong is back!" Xie Xiaowan stood up happily.

Xu Jin smiled: "Brewing tea?" Looks like we're back just in time! ”

Fei Maozhong said: "We were scolded in the study, but you are here to make tea and chat, it's really unfair!" ”

Fei Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Who called you men, by the way, did my father punish you?" ”

Fei Maoxian said honestly: "My second brother and I were not punished, but Ziqian was miserable, and we had to copy the "Da Ming Law" and "Book of Rites" within three days!" ”

"I guessed that it was a book copy, and my father was that kind of person!" Fei Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Fei Ruyi frowned lightly, but she knew how long the "Da Ming Law" was, plus a "Book of Rites", how could it be copied in three days? Uncle's punishment is too heavy!

Fei Jixiang quipped: "Young Master Xu, where is my third sister's Geng post?" The daughter's birthday can't be hidden! ”

Fei Xiaoyu chuckled: "The third sister's Geng post was won back by Xu Jin, so naturally it is Xu Jin's, is there a problem with the private collection?" ”

Fei Ruyi suddenly blushed and lowered his head shyly. Xu Jin hurriedly said: "Ruyi girl's Geng Ti Fei Shi is going back, cough ...... You talk slowly, copy the book in the next study, and lose it! ”

After Xu Jin finished speaking, he retreated.

……

In the living room of the East Courtyard of Fei Mansion, Zhao and Mrs. Fang sat across the coffee table.

Mrs. Fang said angrily: "Mrs. Fei, you said this morning that the third girl was unwell and couldn't go with you, but the woman ran men's clothes and went to the street with Xu Jin, and the most hateful thing is that Xu Jin actually injured the dog and snatched the third girl's Geng post back, what is the matter?" ”

Zhao said with a smile: "Mrs. Fang is angry, Ruyi is really uncomfortable today, maybe she was picked out of the house by the five girls in the mansion over there, and the five girls are notoriously wild." As for the matter of Xu Jin beating your son, I am also extremely angry, this son's behavior is perverse, and even the prince of Ning Wang was beaten at the beginning, but Mrs. Fang can rest assured, I will find him to get him back. ”

Mrs. Fang said suspiciously, "Are you sure you can come back?" ”

Zhao said with a smile: "I will definitely be able to get it back, the marriage between Ruyi and Young Master Tianyou ......"

"That's the end of the marriage!"

Before Zhao could finish speaking, a cold voice came in from outside the door.

Zhao and Mrs. Fang looked out of the door in unison, the former's face suddenly changed, and Mrs. Fang also subconsciously stood up.

Coming in from outside the door was Fei Hong's Yuan Pei, the Yuan family's talker in the back house of the Fei family.

Yuan's family is forty and eight this year, a native of Runan, who is also from a prestigious family, she has the temperament of a superior person, which is naturally not comparable to a woman from a background like Zhao.

Yuan was wearing a set of ingot blue wide-sleeved gowns, covered with wisps of chrysanthemum purple and cyan armor, and his hair was tied into a peony bun common to middle-aged women, dignified and dignified, accompanied by four maids, and the porter Zhao Si'er followed carefully behind, looking at Zhao with a helpless face.

Mrs. Fang naturally knew that this person in front of her was the person in charge of the Fei Mansion's back house, but she didn't dare to treat the Yuan family with the attitude of treating the Zhao family, so she saluted carefully: "I've seen the old lady of the pavilion!" ”

Yuan just nodded slightly in response, and Zhao smiled far-fetchedly and said, "Why does Madam have to come here?" ”

Yuan ignored Zhao, sat down on the Nanmu chair next to the coffee table, and said lightly: "Mrs. Fang, sit down!" ”

Mrs. Fang sat down stiffly, after all, he was just a businessman's wife, and it was okay to bully the Zhao family, who was also not of high background and was also filling the house, but in the face of the Yuan family, she had to be careful and respectful.

Zhao stood aside awkwardly, because the chair Yuan was sitting on was the one she was sitting on just now. Even the master waited carefully, Cuiyun naturally didn't dare to make a mistake, and hurriedly served tea to the Yuan family.

Yuan Shi said lightly: "I came here this time to talk about Ruyi's girl, but since it happens that Mrs. Fang is also here, it happens that she will make it clear to each other, and it will save trouble." ”

Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "You say! ”

Yuan said lightly: "Then I'll say it bluntly, our Fei family is a Leadshan family, and the Fang family and the Fei family are not in the right household, so the marriage between Ruyi and the prince of your mansion will be stopped." When I go back, I will order someone to return all the things to the Fang Mansion. ”

Mrs. Fang's face was extremely embarrassed, and she stood up and said, "Since Mrs. Fei said so, then I will leave!" ”

Yuan picked up the teacup, gently plucked the foam on the tea soup with the lid of the cup, and said without raising his head: "Send off!" ”

"No need!" Mrs. Fang walked out of the gate with her servant in a huff.

Zhao stood awkwardly, although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't dare to interject, in the end, she was just a continuation of the big house, plus she was from a humble background, so she had no right to speak.

After Mrs. Fang left, Yuan took out Fei Ruyi's Geng post from her arms and put it on the coffee table, glanced at Zhao coldly, and said lightly: "Geng post is you gave to the Fang family, right?" ”

Zhao said with a smile: "Madam, that girl Ruyi is a lot older, and it is not a way to drag it like that, so the concubine thought about booking a family affair for her first." ”

Yuan Shi snorted coldly: "How can this be true, Ruyi is still keeping filial piety to his father, don't you know?" ”

Zhao distinguished: "It's just that the engagement is done first, and it doesn't violate the system!" ”

Yuan Shi shouted angrily: "Hugh has to quibble here, Ruyi is the daughter of the long house, although the eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, but it is not your turn to fill the house in her marriage." You dare to hide such a big thing from me, it's really lawless for you. What kind of goods are the three young men of the Fang family, you actually covered your conscience and pushed Ruyi into the fire pit for that little dowry! ”

The slaves around were silent, and in the Fei Mansion, the people were most afraid of not the old man Fei Hong, but the lady Yuan Shi, who held the power to manage the back house.

Zhao was scolded so red-faced, and said honestly: "Madam, you can't say that, although the three young people of the Fang family are fond of playing fighting games, they are still good people......"

"Shut up, what do you know as a woman, how much do you know about things outside, the Fang family is implicated in Ning Wangfu, the eldest brother let the thieves under Ning Wangfu kill him, you actually let Ruyi marry the Fang family, is your brain in the water!"

Zhao was speechless for a moment, she was just a short-sighted woman who was greedy for money and profit, how could she consider this.

Yuan reprimanded angrily: "All the silver gifts received will be returned to the Fang family in a lot, and in addition, the daily use of Dongfu will be cut by half in the future." ”

Zhao's face changed, and he refilled a cup of tea for Yuan with a shy face, and said with a smile: "Madame is angry, tomorrow the concubine will return everything to the Fang family, this matter is indeed not done properly, make compensation to Madame, and promise not to make an example."

You see if you can stop cutting it, it doesn't matter if the concubine is a concubine, but the people in the house are afraid of complaints, not to mention Ruyi's ......."

Yuan Shi said lightly: "Ruyi doesn't have to worry about you, in the future, her monthly money will be distributed by the government over there." ”

Zhao's whole body suddenly wilted, fell to his knees on the ground, and begged: "Madam, you just spare the concubine, I won't dare in the future." ”

Yuan snorted coldly, picked up the Geng post on the coffee table and put it in his arms, and said lightly: "I'll spare you for the time being, and next time you can clean up and go back to your parents' house!" ”

After Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and left the East Mansion with a group of maids.
