The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting
Chapter 40 Flattery
At the end of the year, after the Lesser Cold, heavy snow began to fall in Meizhou, located in the southeast.
The lady often kept saying, "Auspicious snow means a good harvest, it must be a good omen," and her wish came true.
After the Great Cold, approaching New Year's Eve, a messenger was seen rushing back from the capital. As soon as he entered the house, he knelt down and kowtowed to the master and the mistress, his voice as loud as a bell.
"Congratulations to the eldest master and mistress, the promotion has been announced! The master is - a fourth-rank official, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue! This is great news!"
Ji listened, chanted "Amitabha", turned around, and her face was full of smiles.
"Congratulations, Master. I've finally made it through..."
Master Ruan's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. He stroked his beard and nodded gently, "It is also thanks to the two relatives in the capital... The second lady's marriage will be held in a grand manner in the capital, so as not to let the relatives think that we are mistreating a concubine's daughter."
The smile on the lady's face faded slightly, but she still nodded and said yes.
This New Year was a very turbulent time for the eldest branch of the Ruan family.
He will take office after the first month of the year, and everyone in the palace is busy packing their clothes so that they can move to Beijing.
The master of the second branch remained in the seventh rank, and the second branch remained in Meizhou, guarding the mansion.
The smile on the second wife's face faded a lot. A few times when Ruan Yuluan saw her paying respects to the first wife, she couldn't hide the sour taste in her words.
Ji's lips curved, and there were two more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes from smiling these days.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Maybe it's just bad luck... After a few decades, it will get better naturally."
After enduring for decades, even if he becomes prime minister, he will probably be in his seventies or eighties. What’s the point!
The second wife was so angry at the hidden sharpness of his words that she went back and asked a doctor to come in to take her pulse. The doctor said that she had heart pain.
The twelfth day of the first lunar month was an auspicious day, and the eldest son's entourage set out from Meizhou in a grand procession.
The day we entered the capital was a sunny spring day. The weather in the capital was very good, and there was still snow on the road, but the wind from the north was cold and refreshing, unlike the sleet in Meizhou, which had a deep and sticky feeling.
A bare hand gently lifted the carriage curtain, and looking out, I saw the bustling streets, with houses on both sides that were neat and noble.
Ruan Yuluan knew in her heart that the nightmares from her previous life were gradually coming to pass.
But this time, she wants to take her destiny into her own hands.
The mansion that Mr. Ruan bought in the capital was slightly smaller than the one he had in Meizhou, but in the capital where every inch of land was valuable, having a courtyard with five entrances was already quite good.
Ji re-divided the areas where everyone lived, and Ruan Yuluan lived in Ziweizhai in the west wing, just like in her previous life. After a few busy days, she finally settled down.
The lady soon had to busy herself with preparing the second lady's dowry and discussing the wedding date with Countess Zhongqin, and she was so busy that she felt dizzy.
Ruan Yuluan often went to pay her respects, and seeing that she was too busy, she would also help take care of some small matters.
Ji couldn't help but raise her fingertips and pressed her slightly aching forehead. She sighed softly and looked up at her.
"Fifth Lady, what do you think of your second sister's marriage?"
This was not just a casual question, it was pointed out and was meant to test her intentions.
The girl held the account book in her fingertips, smiled awkwardly, and said, "How could I understand this... Madam is a kind mother, she will naturally not harm my second sister. I think this must be a very good marriage."
These words were a blatant compliment to Ji, and the lady's eyebrows softened naturally. She smiled and said to Mama Liu, "Look at this fifth girl. I don't know when she learned to be so smooth-talking!"
