Chunlu was also injured, a few maids followed her back to the Plum Garden, Qiuxiang followed Fengyu to find Mrs. Feng, just after entering the second gate, the maid in Fengyu's courtyard came quickly, her face a little dignified, "Girl , Wang Lizheng of Yiling Village came here today, and the eldest wife became very angry and sent someone to the Plum Garden to invite you."

"understood."

When Fengyu arrived at the Da Furen's courtyard, Fengyu was throwing pots with the maids in the courtyard, and when she saw Fengyu, she became angry, "Third sister is here, I heard that you played a big role in Yilingzhuang."

"Fourth younger sister's clothes are so pretty, they must be the new style of Ruyi Zhuang." Feng Yu clasped her hands in front of her body and smiled.

Feng Heng was wearing a lake-blue pink rose double-breasted short jacket and a white water skirt. The skirt was inlaid with pearls, shining brightly, which made her unparalleled in beauty.Feng Yan spun around triumphantly, the hem of the skirt spread out, and the looming pink rose was hidden in the pleated skirt. The design was exquisite and beautiful, "This is the unique skirt of Ruyizhuang. It took me 300 taels to snatch it, isn't it beautiful?"

Fengyu smiled like a flower, picked up a wooden arrow, waved it lightly, and threw it into the pot, "Beautiful."

She climbed up the steps, and Mother Li at the door opened the curtain, and said inside that the third girl was coming, Feng Yu entered the inner room, Mrs. Feng was teaching Feng Wan to be a housekeeper, and she looked unhappy when she saw Feng Yu.Feng Yu saluted, "Hello, Auntie, Hello, Big Sister."

Feng Wan said, "Mother, you are talking about things with the third sister, and the daughter will go down first."

"Sit down and listen too."

Feng Wan glanced at Feng Yu, took the handkerchief and embroidered quietly.

Mrs. Feng moistened her throat with tea, "Three girls, my aunt has also heard about the matter of Yiling Village. It's certainly wrong for them to lie and underpay the land rent. Now that you have discovered the clue, why don't you tell the elders in the family to make the decision? If you have to cause trouble by yourself, even the county magistrate was alarmed by the dissatisfied tenants of Lingzhuang. If there are any problems, I can't explain to your parents."

"I have settled the matter of Yiling Village. The tenants are willing to pay back the land rent. Everyone is happy. Why is my aunt angry?" Feng Yu seemed to have just remembered, "Wang Li is your distant relative. Done?"

Mrs. Feng's face was extremely ugly, and she put down her teacup heavily, "Wang Li is indeed my distant relative. Back then, your mother asked him to manage Yiling Village because of his ability. We were exiled from the capital for more than ten years, and Wang Li was in charge. As a tenant farmer, spring plowing and autumn planting have never fallen, and the rent is paid truthfully every year, so that Yiling Village is well-organized and more prosperous. Even if he is not a distant relative, I have to say something fair for him. He has no credit but hard work. You are so aggressive. Aren't you afraid that others will say that you kill the donkey with a single sentence?"

Mother Li brought tea, and Qiuxiang took it and put it in Fengyu's hand. Fengyu's eyes fell on the tea, and the aroma of the top-quality Longjing tea was fragrant. Fengyu smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."

"You are really stubborn. Thinking about your reputation in Beijing, you are stupid, ignorant, barbaric and vulgar. After your marriage was divorced, you became obsessed with foreign men and shameless infamy. Now that the matter in Lingzhuang is causing trouble again, you still want to Why bother to hurt your friendship and reputation for a few thousand silver?" Mrs. Feng hated iron for being weak.

Feng Yu's face turned cold in an instant, the infamy of a merchant girl once made Su Yuejiao lose her head in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing.

Qiuxiang thought to herself, it's over, the lady has stepped on the girl's bottom line.

Feng Wan raised her head from the embroidery, "Third sister, mother is also thinking about your reputation, I am afraid that these tenant farmers will gossip, and if you end up with the reputation of being a merchant girl, it will be even harder for my sister to say goodbye."

"Merchant girl..." Feng Yu picked up the teacup and gently shook the tea foam, "Auntie, if there is no merchant girl, our whole family was demoted to Ningzhou back then, you would not have to worry about food and clothing, and you could open the door in Ningzhou. Sociability? Leaving aside, the eldest uncle earns 160 taels of silver a year, and the fourth sister buys Ruyizhuang’s dresses with 300 taels of silver, without blinking an eye. Where did the money come from?”

Mrs. Feng's face was blue and red, embarrassing and angry, "Feng Yu, you... you are presumptuous!"

Feng Yan originally wanted to come in to hear how her mother reprimanded Feng Yu, but as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Feng Yu talking about her purchase of the dress, she was ashamed and angry, and tugged at the hem of the dress.

Feng Wan didn't expect Feng Yu to be so ruthless, and she argued, "Third sister, the Feng family has a property, and they don't live on their father's salary, and their mother also has a dowry property. It's too hurtful for you to say that."

"The Feng family is a Qingliu poor family. Although my grandfather was an official to the second rank, the property he bought was not rich. When he was demoted, almost all the property in the family was sold, and there was not much left. After returning to Beijing, it was my sister who used my mother's dowry to redeem the property. Go back to Feng’s family’s property and shop, and transfer the two profitable cloth houses to grandmother’s name.” Feng Yu’s smile is gentle but ruthless, “Although Feng Yu is young, she also understands a simple truth. Pick up the bowl and eat the meat, put down the chopsticks and don't scold your mother."

Mrs. Feng was so angry that her chest hurt and she almost fainted. Feng Wan hurriedly went to comfort her, but Feng Yu rushed in angrily and scolded Feng Yu, "Feng Yu, you are too arrogant, why scold us like that?"

Feng Yu looked into her angry red eyes, smiled lightly and said, "Fourth sister, I'm talking about something you should understand but pretend not to understand. Two years ago, the Su family sent me good information. You stopped me, took all the good ones, and left some defective products for me and my sister. My sister didn't care about it, she could buy better ones for me. This year, the Su family will send leather jewelry again. People sent it directly to Meiyuan, and I didn’t choose it for you. You made a fuss for several days, and you were still beating me in my room. You forgot, this is my thing. I’m willing to give it to you. , I don’t want to give it to you, so you can’t move.”

Mrs. Feng waved Feng Wan to appease her, and said bitterly, "You rely on the Su family to be rich, you have no respect for your elders, you are lawless, and even dare to contradict your elders. What you mean is that our Feng family depends entirely on your mother." on."

"Isn't it?" Feng Yu chuckled lightly, holding up her teacup, "This Dragon Well was all sent by the Su family."

Mrs. Feng was slapped severely by the reality, and her eyes were red with embarrassment. Feng Yu accepted it as soon as she saw it, and stood up calmly and said, "Auntie, take a step back and say that Yiling Village is my mother's dowry. How to deal with it is all my business, you should not ask, no one knows how much money Wang Lizheng has made for so many years, you are his distant cousin and the eldest wife of the Feng family, if I were an outsider, I would guess whether you Received his money, it belonged to melon fields and plums, you should avoid suspicion."

Mrs. Feng was stupefied, Feng Yu was weak, and often didn't like to move around in the plum garden. Although she had acted arrogantly, she had never contradicted her elders like this, and even slandered her for taking money from Wang Lizheng.Mrs. Feng wants to explain that Feng Yu has taken Qiuxiang away, and Feng Yan sees Mrs. Feng's red eyes and chases her out angrily.
