It's a coincidence that Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren are out of the house today to attend a birthday banquet today.

The Li family came from the head of the Li family, Li Siliang, Li Siliang’s wife, Li Ma, and the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Ma.

The Ren family in Baihe Town can also be regarded as one of the largest households in the Ren family. The Li family wanted to enter the Ren family’s door but it was not so easy. They were stopped by the doorman at the door, and they were not able to communicate.

The Li family rioted at the door of Ren's house. Li Ma and Li Ma are worthy of being a mother and daughter, and their loud voices almost frightened the concierge.

Li Ma pinched his waist and cried while cursing like an orchid: "My father and mother spent several years saving and frugal in order to marry my brother such a daughter-in-law. As a result, after you received the bride price, you turned your face and refused. My poor sister-in-law who had not passed the door was sold, and sold to the kiln in the south! What kind of evil is this! My fateful brother-in-law! Who will comment on my family! "

Listening to his daughter crying and grabbing the ground, Li Siliang had attracted a few passers-by who passed by in front of Ren's house, and stood on the side pointing and watching the excitement. He was a little worried about his mother-in-law. The sleeves, whispered: "You let our girl almost get it. If the face of the host is not good, don't get the money and get beaten by the family."

Lady Li was crying and crying while watching the excitement. After hearing the words, she thought about it, and felt that Li Siliang was right, so she secretly winked at her daughter.

I don’t want Li Ma to speak energetically, so he didn’t notice her mother’s eyes at all: "...said it was because you accidentally offended your third lady, and was beaten so that only half his life was left. How can you be so cruel! God! Do evil! My poor sister-in-law!"

Seeing that there were more and more lively people, the concierge was also frightened. Some women found that something was wrong and immediately ran into the house to report to the masters.

When Mrs. Li listened, she felt something was wrong, she couldn't help but step forward to pull her daughter's sleeve. Isn't it for money? Why did you get involved with the lady?

The Li family buys rouge gouache, and Mrs. Li has been the proprietress for decades.

Li Ma gave Mother Li a calm look and bit her ears and said: "Mother, these big families are most afraid of embarrassment. I said that later they will give us more money to stop our mouths. If the younger brother wants to marry a good wife, should he prepare more dowry gifts? The big deal will come when I cry a few more times, saying that what I said just now was a misunderstanding."

Lady Li thought about her son at home, and hesitated to put down the hand that was holding Li Ma.

Li Ma was secretly proud. She went back today and slapped her father and mother over because she secretly collected fifty taels of silver from others. The person said that when she finished the play, she would still have fifty taels for her. A hundred taels of silver is a lot of money. When she got married, her father and mother kept her younger brother in order to save money. The dowry she bought for her daughter-in-law was less than twenty taels of silver. She knew their family’s wealth, so she always blamed her father and mother for being too partial. .

So she doesn't care whether her parents can get the silver from the Ren family today. Anyway, the silver has nothing to do with her. All she needs to do is to make things big and smear the reputation of the third lady of the Ren family.

Thinking of this, Li Ma cried harder and harder, the door plaque of Ren's family almost collapsed for her.

Ren Yaohua was coming out of the garden at the time, so she happened to ran into the concierge who came in panic to report to him. Ren Yaohua sneered: "I want to see what tricks they are playing!" Then she took her maid Zi walked to the gate.

Aunt Fang frowned when she heard the news and called Ren Yaoying over.

"You got the Li family?"

Ren Yaoying glanced at Aunt Fang: "Mother, if you don't bring down Ren Yaohua's daughter, I really can't swallow this breath! I don't want to see her show off in front of my eyes again! If you don't help me out, I'll come by myself. How could she marry to the Qiu family after her vicious reputation!"

Aunt Fang sighed: "Ying'er, why are you so disobedient! Auntie said that she will only let you bear it, and she will always help you plan. You are too reckless to do this today! Although Ren Yaohua is impulsive, But she is not stupid. You are the one who suffers a bite from her accidentally."

Ren Yaoying didn't think so, she stepped forward to hug Aunt Fang's hand and shook her, softly begging: "Mother, please help me. With you, where can my daughter be afraid of her calculations?"

Aunt Fang's face was helpless.

When Ren Yaoqi heard the news, he was watching Ren Shimin's paintings in Linxian Pavilion. Although it is not easy to tell how Sun Shiniang is, she is still very clever in mounting skills. Ren Yaoqi comes to see it every day. Sun Shiniang is responsible for uncovering the heart of the painting and repairing the bottom paper, while Ren Shimin is responsible for the full-color painting. The two cooperated to achieve a tacit understanding. It is expected that both paintings can be repaired in less than a month.

When Ren Yaoqi heard that Apple came in to report that something was wrong, Ren Shimin, who was devoting herself to painting, was not alarmed. She quietly came out of Linxian Pavilion.

"The third sister has passed?" Ren Yaoqi asked.

Mulberry nodded: "The old lady and the eldest wife went out today, and the third lady passed as soon as they received the news."

Ren Yaoqi nodded: "Go and find the chief steward of the inner courtyard, and also go and call Mother Zhou."

Mulberry went there, and Ren Yaoqi took Apple and a few other servants out.

As soon as Ren Yaohua walked to the door, she heard the dry howling of Li Ma from outside. She stood on the screen wall and listened quietly for a while. The more she heard, the colder her face became, but she was still somewhat measured, and she ran out without surrendering. The so-called **** debate, otherwise it will really make a joke.

She beckoned Parsley to pass, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Parsley was also righteous and indignant at first, wishing that the young lady would let her out and bite the woman, nodded repeatedly after listening to Ren Yaohua's explanation, and then took the two women and walked out arrogantly.

Ren Yaohua did not show his face, still standing behind the screen wall and listening.

After a while, parsley’s crisp and sharp voice sounded outside: “Where did this so-called mother-in-law come from? The gate of Ren's family is also letting you go? And you! Watching others come and make trouble, won’t you not drive people? Is it possible that we have become a vegetable market in front of Ren's house, and whoever wants to make trouble let her make trouble?"

Li Ma looked at parsley secretly and saw that she was dressed decently, but she had also seen the shop for the rouge shop at home before she got married, and knew that this was just a faceless girl, so she didn’t bother her. , On the contrary, the matter of selling the Ren family to Chun'er was repeated and asked the Ren family to hand over the people.

Mrs. Li was relieved to see that someone finally came out, but her attitude was much better than that of her daughter: "This girl, we just want to ask for a talk today. The Ren family accepted our offer, but I sold Chun'er, so who should my son marry?"

The parsley maid glared and said: "Who do you want to marry? The Chun'er in your mouth is the maid of our Ninth Miss, right? She made a big mistake before being punished by the maid of our wife and sold. Go out! When will the maid of our Ren family who deal with the offense have to explain to you? I need to explain to the Master Qingtian in the government!"

"We gave the bride price..." Li Ma immediately said.

But it was cut off unceremoniously by Parsley: "What kind of bride price? Did she accept your bride price? She is a maid, who is not even a freelancer. How can she decide her marriage? If she really accepts you For the family’s betrothal, I will send someone to report to the officer and get her back! No wonder she will be kicked out of the office, this girl herself is wrong!"

Granny Li hurriedly said, "No, it's not that she received the betrothal gift after your master agreed to the marriage. It's not that she married without telling the master."

"Oh?" Xiangqin glanced at Li and said, "Our third elder and third wife have never been allowed to marry. Which master allowed her to marry?"

"It's Aunt Fang." Old lady Li said immediately.

Xiangqin laughed "Puff" when she heard the words: "Sister-in-law, are you here to make fun? Aunt Fang is also a half master, but where does her aunt promise marriage?"

As soon as this statement came out, the crowd watching the excitement also whispered. Auntie is not considered a decent master, even if she wants to be decent to the maid, she must get the consent of the mistress.

Outsiders don’t know that Auntie Fang’s position in the Ren family has always been a bit special. She has even more face than the decent wife of Sanfang in front of Mrs. Ren. In some trivial matters, the big wife, Wang, will also sell her aunt’s face. Aunt Fang wanted to win over people's hearts and marry a maid, it was nothing extraordinary.

Li Pozi and Li Ma looked at each other.

Xiangqian continued: "Since our mansion can sell Chun'er, then her deed is in the hands of our master. Do you want to go back and check Dazhou regulations?"

The Da Zhou law "Hu Lu. Marriage" stipulates that "the slaves and maids will marry the family head, whoever does not ask the master to marry privately, the whip is one hundred, regardless of whether they have had children for a long time, the divorce will be cut off."

Naturally, the owner of the family refers to the owner who holds a contract to sell a servant.

Although Parsley moved out of the Da Zhou law to bluff the Li family, their ordinary people also knew this, and they were even accustomed to it, so Parsley, who was also a slave, didn't feel uncomfortable when she said it. Because at that time this was accepted by everyone.
