The next day, Cheng Deqing picked up the scattered clothes on the ground and put them on. He saw that Liu Yunniang was still covered in the quilt, with only a section of her fair calf exposed, which was not visible at all. It was tender and smooth. Cheng Deqing couldn't help but stretched out her hand and touched it a few more times before going outside. .

Ruping and Cui'er waited on the second master to wash up and eat. Cheng Deqing sat at the table and told Ruping while eating, "The girl who sweeps the backyard will pick a smarter one and give it to Er Shunzi."

Ru Pingcuier was stunned, seeing the second master's eyes sweeping towards her, she hurriedly lowered her head in response, but her heart was filled with waves.

What kind of girl should I give him as a gift? Weird!

Cheng Deqing finished his meal, rinsed his mouth, and walked out of the courtyard gate to the house gate.

Shen Ruyi was waiting for her at the door of the house. She was dressed in fancy clothes today and had the same Japanese-style bun that Liu Yunniang liked to wear. She also imitated Liu Yunniang and put a peony blossom on her temples.

Cheng Deqing glanced at it, sneered, imitated others, humiliated himself, and left without looking back.

Shen Ruyi was unwilling to give in and hurriedly ordered the driver to drive to catch up before Cheng Deqing could enter the door. She looked at his back and shouted sweetly, "Second cousin~"

Er Shunzi had goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't help but feel a chill.

Cheng Deqing also frowned. He must tell his mother tomorrow to restrain his cousin. It is ridiculous to be so indiscreet in public!

Uncle Gao of the county captain's family happened to come out of the government office opposite the academy and heard Shen Ruyi's cooing. He looked at Shen Ruyi while riding on his horse. His eyebrows were lightly scanned. I felt pity for him, he was quite pretty~

Since she was Cheng Deqing's best friend, he would snatch her away and make Cheng Deqing heartbroken.

He couldn't help but adjust his clothes, pretending to be chic, and walked towards Shen Ruyi gracefully.

Seeing Shen Ruyi's pair of wonderful eyes looking towards him, his whole body felt like electricity was flowing through his body. The bastard looked at Mung Bean and instantly made eye contact. Yes, he was also missing a eldest wife, and she was the one.

Uncle Gao stepped forward and said attentively: "This little lady, I am Brother Cheng's classmate and friend Gao Heng. You see that he is busy with homework, so he will not come out today. But I happen to have time today, so why not go with me?" I'm walking around, the autumn weather is crisp, it's time to have some fun."

Shen Ruyi looked at this person's wretched posture, sunken eye sockets, and a look of excessive sexual indulgence. She immediately rolled her eyes to the sky. It's so disgusting that everyone is chatting with her these days! If it weren't for his second cousin's classmate, I would have spit on him!

Then he ignored Uncle Gao, retracted the carriage, and asked the coachman to drive away.

Uncle Gao slammed his riding whip angrily, "This girl's skin is so delicious, it makes my eyes roll and my heart itch~"

The boys all started laughing, and a boy came over to flatter me, "This little lady hasn't realized how good I am yet. If I let her taste it once, she won't be able to put it down~"

The other boys burst into laughter. Uncle Gao laughed twice and suddenly slapped the boy in the face with a whip, "You are the one who can talk to me, the eldest lady of the Gao family?!" "Slap your own hands!"

All the young men were too frightened to say anything, wondering why their uncle suddenly fell in love with this young lady! Didn’t I just groom a girl at Yihualou last night?

It was really puzzling, but I heard the crisp "papapapa" sound of the guy who was being mean-mouthed just now.

Uncle Gao touched his chin, recalling Shen Ruyi's rolling eyes, and his heart was as hot as a teapot sitting on the fire. He beckoned the servant to ask about the girl's origins.

In Tanxiang Courtyard, Ruping stopped Er Shunzi last night and asked Er Shunzi what he had done the night before. Er Shunzi was very tight-lipped and didn't ask anything. He only swore that Er Shunzi had never been sorry to his wife.

This morning, when the second master went out, he hesitated whether to tell his wife or not.

At three o'clock in the morning, Liu Yunniang sat up lazily with her arms in her arms. The sun shone in through the window lattice, like rays, making it warm and feeling a bit like winter.

It's a great life. I don't have to pay greetings every day, my mother-in-law doesn't treat her harshly, my husband is motivated and upright, and I don't have to go to work. I can just write a notebook and get a steady stream of money. Thinking of this, Liu Yunniang rolled around in bed again.

Ruping and Cui'er heard the movement in the inner room, opened the door, and saw Liu Yunniang rolling around wrapped in a quilt, they couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.

Cui'er said with a smile, "Madam, get up quickly. The sun is already so high and the horse is in the middle of the morning. The girl from the old lady's courtyard came over and sent a message, asking you to go draw cards together in the afternoon."

Ru Ping also forced a smile, "Madam, what are you having for breakfast today? Liu Yachen came over and gave you your favorite tofu skin buns."

"I said that the master ate well, but I remembered that the girl also loved the food the most, so I brought them here. I also brought a few packs of snacks that the shopkeeper of the bookstore gave me yesterday. The shopkeeper is also eagerly waiting for you~"

Liu Yunniang burst out laughing.

He raised his eyebrows and smiled at Ruping, "My father really misses me. The shopkeeper misses my manuscript. That's all. I'll get up right now, revise and polish "This is How I Should See My Cousin", and send it to the book store. Well, this will save the shopkeeper from breaking his neck."

Ruping and Cui'er laughed happily after hearing this. They quickly dressed Liu Yunniang in home clothes, served her dinner, and then the master and servant went to the study.

Ruping was still reading through the manuscript with a frown on her face, correcting typos as she read.

I blushed with embarrassment when I read that my cousin and my cousin were in love. I gritted my teeth angrily when I read that my cousin was cheated out of money by my uncle and aunt. I also read that my aunt deliberately wore small shoes for my cousin. My cousin was tricked into marrying a noble girl, and my cousin coughed up blood. When they died, Ruping and Cuier were already in tears.

"Madam, this cousin is so pitiful. She has been tortured to death by this family." Cuier said with tears in her eyes.

Ruping also wiped her tears and said, "Hey, I know people but don't know their hearts. This couple of aunt and uncle deserve to be put in jail! Poor cousin, I trusted the wrong person."

Liu Yunniang took the opportunity to teach the two girls, "From now on when you get married, whether your husband sincerely treats you is the threshold. Secondly, character is the most important!"

"The most important thing is whether I can shoulder the responsibility and protect you. No matter how handsome and handsome you are, there will always be times when your appearance will fade with age. Don't be fooled by superficial things!"

Cui'er nodded vigorously, "Madam, what you said is correct. That cousin said he loved his cousin, but he failed to protect her and marry her. He is really incompetent!"

Seeing that her little boy was teachable, Liu Yunniang smiled and praised him hard, "You see, no matter how nice a man's words are, it still depends on what he does!"

Ruping looked at Madam with a complicated face, Hey, the second master was visiting a brothel and he didn’t know whether he should tell Madam!

Liu Yunniang saw Ruping's hesitant expression and wondered, "Why are you so preoccupied today? Isn't what I said wrong? That's impossible!"

Ruping hurriedly laughed and said, "No way, what you said is the truth. I was thinking that my cousin is really pitiful. Her parents died and she had to seek refuge with her uncle's family. If she didn't, what would be the outcome?"

Liu Yunniang smiled softly. A teenage girl who suddenly loses her parents in modern society will still have relatives who are destitute, let alone ancient times!

Even if the people's customs are liberalized and women can stand alone as female households, a weak girl who loses her protection, has a lot of money and land in her hands, and is beautiful will always have a big fat body.

Every man is innocent of his guilt.

Alas, it would be difficult for me not to seek refuge with my uncle's family, but to follow my cousin's arrogant, aloof and incompetent temperament.

The death of both parents is the beginning of tragedy, unless the cousin becomes pragmatic and like the ancient strange women in some books, finds reliable help, marries a good man, and lives a happy life, which is a complete life.

Moreover, the right time, right place, and right people are indispensable. In the environment of ancient times, it was really difficult.

That story is no longer this story.

Liu Yunniang couldn't help but sigh. From ancient times to the present, it has been too difficult for women.

Ruping and Cui'er sat aside silently, thinking silently.

There was silence in the study, only the sound of the clepsydra could be heard.

Liu Yunniang looked up, and before she knew it, her stomach was growling. She hurriedly packed up the manuscript and took the girl back to the main courtyard. In the afternoon, she had to go to the old lady to draw cards.

The three masters and servants had dinner. Liu Yunniang changed into a slanted collared jacket embroidered with magnolia flowers. She wore a plain jacket underneath and a green pleated skirt underneath, which was fresh and elegant.

Ruping tied jasmine flowers on her bun again, and Liu Yunniang took a mirror to take a picture of herself. In the blurry bronze mirror, she could see a delicate and elegant little lady, so she went out with satisfaction.

In Yi'an Courtyard, the old lady, the eldest lady, Aunt Zhang and Shen Ruyi have already played a circle of cards. Aunt Zhang and Shen Ruyi are willing to show off, and the eldest lady is also happy to give favors.

When Liu Yunniang arrived, she looked at the cashier who was smiling happily. Luzhu raised the bead curtain at the door. When she saw the second lady, she also said happily, "Old lady, the second lady is here. The old lady made a fortune today."

Seeing Liu Yunniang coming in, Aunt Zhang first praised, "Erlang's wife is really dressed up today. She looks like a real flower to me~"

Everyone laughed, and the eldest lady felt sour when she looked at the tortoiseshell hairpin on Liu Yunniang's head.

Shen Ruyi looked at the high bun Liu Yunniang wore today, which made her slender, white neck beautiful and long. She couldn't help but secretly thought that if she did it tomorrow, she would be even more beautiful!

Everyone picked up the cards again in a lively manner.

The girl moved a chair over, and Liu Yunniang sat next to the eldest lady, looking down at the eldest lady's cards. This card is also called leaf play. The cards are drawn in turn, and the big ones can catch the small ones, similar to today's playing cards.

Liu Yuniang looked over carefully and found that the eldest lady was bound to lose. It was just a matter of losing more or less. The eldest lady also saw that and was feeling anxious at this time.

Her hands have been a little tight recently. The lottery is small, but mosquito meat is also meat, and the small money also makes her feel distressed.

The uncle has recently been asking her for money, claiming that she doesn't have enough money to do business. Now, apart from the private money she has saved privately in the bank, she doesn't have much left in her hands, and she has to spend every penny carefully.

She glanced at Liu Yunniang and saw that she was wearing beads and jade, and her clothes looked the same for several days. She thought that she was not short of a few small coins, so she smiled all over her face, stuffed the cards into Liu Yunniang's hand, and said to her. Liu Yunniang begged for mercy, "Brother and sister, please draw a card for me. My stomach is cramping and uncomfortable. I'm going to change my clothes first."

After saying that, regardless of Liu Yunniang's stunned look, she begged everyone for mercy and went out.

Liu Yunniang...

Liu Yunniang held a bad deck of cards and lost as expected. The old lady smiled cheerfully and said, "Come on, come on, give us the money~".

Ruping stepped forward and ordered the chips, and Liu Yunniang casually pushed them to the old lady's side.

Aunt Zhang said with a smile, "Er Lang's wife is very generous."

Shen Ruyi also guessed the eldest lady's intention and smiled maliciously.

Liu Yunniang also secretly hated the eldest lady for being scheming, but she really didn't care about a small amount of money. If she could make the old lady happy, then everyone would be happy too.

The four of them touched the cards again, and the old lady said casually, "How's the deal with Ruyi? I think the young master from Baosheng Bank is pretty good, he's fair and clean, and he's also a scholar."

Shen Ruyi pouted and said deliberately, "Old madam, you are afraid that if I win the money, you will drive me away. Okay, I will just leave by myself~" After saying that, she ran away with a red face.

Aunt Zhang pretended to be angry and scolded, "This careless guy just left and left the chips behind. He's really ignorant."

Everyone knew that Shen Ruyi was embarrassed, and Aunt Zhang was trying to smooth things over for her. After all, it was a girl's family, and she was still ashamed to talk about marriage no matter how careless she was.

Everyone laughed kindly.

Nanny Xiang supported Shen Ruyi's shortcomings, and the four of them started playing cards again.

"Who says it's not? I think he's very good, but Ruyi just dislikes him and says it's like killing a chicken in vain. It's useless at first glance! I'm so angry!"

"Hahaha~", the old lady laughed, "What kind of thing is Ruyi looking for?"

Aunt Zhang played a card and glanced at Liu Yunniang secretly. Wasn't the old lady pretending to be confused? She asked such a question about something that was not obvious.

"I just want to find someone who is talented in literature, looks better than Pan An, and is good at literature and martial arts," Aunt Zhang said haha.

"Hahaha, don't be in a hurry, just take your time and look for him. Ruyi's temperament is attractive to others, and there are many young masters who are after him." The old lady said with a smile.

Liu Yunniang and Grandma Xiang also pretended not to know and took the cards seriously.

"It's settled, give me money, give me money." Aunt Zhang felt unhappy and didn't give up. She used her special skills and finally won the money, and she sighed.

After playing two more games, seeing that the sun was about to set, the game ended. Liu Yunniang lost money without exception. The lady of emotion could predict that she would lose money today, so she thought of running away early.

Liu Yunniang took Ruping and Cui'er back to Sandalwood Courtyard. The breeze blew a little chill on their faces, so the three of them took a shortcut and took a small road.

When passing by the rockery, they heard someone talking behind the rockery. The three of them hurriedly held their breath and concentrated, and actually squatted down in the bushes in unison to listen.

……

"Mom, I don't like that prince, he's so mean and jealous, it makes me sick just looking at him!"

This is Shen Ruyi's voice.

"How about Mr. Li, the nephew of the county prime minister? His martial arts skills are very extraordinary. The old lady said that the county prime minister speaks highly of him. Mr. Li is also preparing to take the martial arts examination. He will also be an official in the future."

This is Aunt Zhang's voice.

"Mom, I don't even like him, but I just like my second cousin! I want to marry my second cousin!"

"You enemy, you are going to piss me off to death. Your second cousin has already married Mrs. Liu, so what nonsense are you talking about!"

After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she seemed to pinch Shen Ruyi hard, and Shen Ruyi screamed, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

"I don't care. When I came to Cheng Mansion when I was a child, you guys decided to marry me. I like my second cousin and I am happy to marry him!"

"In the end, my second cousin married Liu Yunniang. I was completely humiliated. The girls and women even laughed at me behind my back and pretended that I didn't know!"

"Mom, please, go and tell the old lady that you can let your second cousin take me in!"

Liu Yunniang...

Ruping cursed in a low voice, "Why are you dreaming about gold falling from the world!"
