Chapter 20 Give me a pillow for taking a nap
Since Mei Zi had made a promise to those people, it was embarrassing for Mei Zi to drive them away now. Ling Ruoli asked Mei Zi to lead these people to the outside of the city to distribute porridge and build sheds, and she would find a way to get the money, and Mei Zi readily agreed.
After everyone left, Ling Ruoli instructed the people in the teahouse to clean up the backyard. Looking at the bare yard mixed with messy debris was really a headache.
Ling Ruoli has been staying in the teahouse these days. Today, she has nothing to do and plans to renovate the teahouse. She is thinking about how to raise enough money when a servant from the Ling Mansion comes and tells her personal maid Xiaohuan that there is an urgent matter and the young lady needs to return quickly.
"Miss, the young master of General Murong's mansion is here to ask for marriage."
Ling Ruoli was drawing the structural diagram of the teahouse according to her own ideas. She destroyed most of it with one stroke. She looked at the destroyed drawing and crumpled it into a ball. "Is he a rat? He sneaks in when he gets a chance."
At that time, I thought that guy was just fooling around, so I wanted to teach him a lesson, but now I don’t know what he is up to.
"Return Home"
Unexpectedly, before she even reached the main hall, she heard a quarrel in the yard. Ling Ruoli didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she heard the voice of the third aunt, "If you don't get married, there are plenty of people who will miss this store," and so on, she curiously asked, "What's going on?"
"A foreign official had chosen the second young lady, and the third concubine took the betrothal money and lied to the second young lady that she was the son of the Jingzhao Yin."
"This Third Aunt is out of her mind, or she forgot to take her medicine." Ling Ruoli was eavesdropping on the conversation, when unexpectedly a teacup flew over her head and landed in front of her.
Because of the Third Aunt's tantrum and seeing that she was about to throw things again, Ling Ruoxi snatched the teacup and threw it out.
"Big sister" never thought that she almost hurt someone. Ling Ruoxi felt very guilty, "I'm sorry"
"Third Aunt is so angry." Ling Ruoli looked at the person who was sitting on the stool and acting arrogantly.
"You are so lucky, young lady. Now that the general's mansion has offered you a marriage proposal, you are free." The third concubine mocked, "My daughter is not like you. As a mother, I have to make plans."
"Really? Whose family is he from? I have to give my second sister some advice."
Ling Ruoxi said righteously: "I won't get married"
"You" Third Aunt pointed at Ling Ruoxi angrily.
After that, the third aunt never stopped talking, and without caring about anything, she said that she wanted to buy Xiao Zhuofa, who came from an unknown background.
"Who is Xiao Zhuo?" Ling Ruoli asked suddenly, making the two of them shut up.
Xiao Huan, who was standing by, explained, "It was the Second Miss who saved a child."
"If you keep a man of unknown origin by your side, you won't have to worry about being criticized," said the Third Aunt.
"Xiao Zhuohuan is just a child, and how can he have an unknown origin?"
The third aunt emphasized that "this is all for your own good"
Ling Ruoli finally understood that this aunt wanted to use Xiao Zhuo to make a fuss so that Ling Ruoxi could get married.
"It seems that my aunt is very idle," Ling Ruoli said, "I guess my third brother Aze has no one to discipline him. Some time ago, my grandfather suggested that my father should find a master to teach him."
"What did you say?" The third aunt was anxious.
Ling Ruoli shrugged, "Ruoli just said it casually, just listen to it, it's also for the good of my third brother." He paused and said, "Oh, by the way, father seems to have something to talk to me about, Ruoli is leaving first."
Ling Ruoli just couldn't stand the concubines in the mansion.
But when she went to the hall and saw more than a dozen machines, she was somewhat surprised.
She hid behind the screen and listened to the conversation between the two families. It seemed that both of them were very satisfied with this marriage.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Just when she was at a loss for words, she suddenly looked at her hands and had an idea.
Ling Ruoli stood up and walked out from behind the screen, smiling, "Father."
"You are free today," Ling Rui said, "You haven't met Madam Murong yet."
"Meet the old lady"
"Hey," Old Madam Murong responded with a smile.
"Old Madam, you are so kind, but I have someone I love, so I can't accept it." Ling Ruoli said
Originally, she was optimistic about this girl, but after hearing what she said, Mrs. Murong looked unhappy and asked, "My grandson is a rare talent. When you marry into the Murong family in the future, he will not treat you badly."
"I have a sweetheart"
"Ling'er, stop talking nonsense. The Murong family is here.
Seeing that she repeatedly emphasized it, Mrs. Murong did not force it.
It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but she made such a fuss, and Ling Rui, as a father, couldn't bear it, so he hurried to smooth things over, "Ruoli is just childish, old lady..."
Madam Murong raised her hand and sighed, "I am old now, Miss Ling really doesn't want to..."
Faced with such a tone, Ling Ruoli was actually frightened and couldn't open her mouth for a moment. The old lady's aura was really overwhelmed by her.
"What Ruoli said is true." She didn't dare to look up at the old lady, but she knew that Ling Ruoli liked Shen Lanxi. When she heard the Murong family propose marriage, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.
"Let's forget about this. The Murong family is marrying up to a high standard."
Ling Rui scolded her and punished Ling Ruoli to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Old Madam Murong left Ling Mansion without stopping, and Ling Rui felt very apologetic.
