The second day is July 20, which happens to be the official's day off.

Before dawn, Miaozhi shouted softly in front of Rong Qiaoyan's bed: "Miss, miss, it's time to get up."

Rong Qiaoyan was woken up by the shout, "What time is it?"

"It's two o'clock." Miaozhi said softly as he opened the bed curtain for Rong Qiaoyan.

When Rong Qiaoyan heard this moment, she yawned and slowly sat up.

Nowadays, there is no fixed time for greetings, it is just set by each residence.

The rule in the Rong Mansion is that you should first go to your aunt's mother-in-law at 6:00 to say hello, and then go to the dowager to say hello at exactly 10:00.

It took some time for Rong Qiaoyan to get up and wash up.

In addition, Xingruoyuan is located in the most remote west courtyard of Rong Mansion, which is very far away from the Jingsi Courtyard of the eldest master and his wife and the Hongping Courtyard of Rong Shoufu and his wife.

What's more, Rong Qiaoyan's injury is recovering, and her body is still weak. It may take some time to walk there, so it was agreed last night that the time to get up today is a quarter of an hour earlier than usual.

If you go there in a soft bag, you won't feel tired.

However, Rong Qiaoyan, an unpopular concubine who was not sick or in trouble, actually went to pay her respects in a soft bag. It was so dishonest that Rong Qiaoyan and others never thought about it.

Hearing the noise in the room, the two maids standing outside covered their yawning mouths, carried hot water into the main room, and walked towards the clean room.

"Bai Mei, go make the bed. Shi'er, pour the hot water into the basin. Miaozhi will help the young lady wash up. I'll take out all the young lady's clothes and jewelry." Grandma Yang arranged things in an orderly manner.

The room suddenly became busy. Miaozhi put a big handkerchief around Rong Qiaoyan's neck and helped Rong Qiaoyan wash up.

After washing up, Rong Qiaoyan went to the inner room and changed out of her sleeping clothes. She put on a green bellyband embroidered with lotus flowers, trousers of the same color, and then put on a white undershirt.

Then, she walked out and sat down in front of the dressing table.

Grandma Yang combed Rong Qiaoyan's hair into a bun, took out two rice-sized beads from the jewelry box and put them on.

She dug into the box and pulled out a pair of pearl earrings of the same size for Rong Qiaoyan to put on.

After finishing dressing up, Grandma Yang and Miaozhi started to put on Rong Qiaoyan's coat again.

A silver-white embroidered top, a goose-yellow floral skirt, and a green silk ribbon belt. Then Grandma Yang carefully tied a blue and white glazed lapel on the belt.

"The young lady is now twelve years old. But these clothes are either made from the eldest lady's old clothes, or are made of inferior silk and satin. The sewing room is getting more and more excessive. And this jewelry, the beads of this pearl flower are only the size of a grain of rice.

, this is still the jewelry that can be taken out of the box. The others are either cloth flowers or silk flowers, not even hairpins."

Seeing that there were only Nanny Yang and the young lady in the bedroom, Miaozhi felt relieved and said angrily.

The age of twelve is commonly known as the year of the golden hairpin, which means that the hair can be put into a bun, a hairpin is inserted and a hairpin is worn.

Rong Qiaoyan listened to Miaozhi's words but did not get angry.

In her previous life, although she was weak, when she saw that she was being treated so harshly, she couldn't help but complain to the eldest lady--she just said that the steward of the sewing room had deducted her share.

The eldest lady openly said that she would make the decision for her, but she reprimanded the steward in front of her.

But later, not only did her treatment not get better, but she also attracted more obvious criticism from the manager.

The same pearl hairpin, others have big, round pearls of various colors.

What came into her hand was a small, flat white pearl.

She complained to the eldest lady again, but the steward was sophistical that the certificate only said it was a pearl hairpin, but did not say what kind of pearl it was.

She said that she would like to buy them all, but she can't buy them of the same quality.

The steward asked Rong Qiaoyan aggressively if this hairpin was called a pearl hairpin.

For a moment, she was so angry that she couldn't argue in front of the eldest lady.

This naturally prompted the eldest lady to warn her not to criticize her servants so harshly.

She only filed a lawsuit against the manager of the sewing room, but other aspects of her life were also affected.

Not to mention the relationship between these stewards is quite good.

However, when it comes to external affairs, they are also very united.

Therefore, for a long period of time, Rong Qiaoyan's food was the worst, the rouge and gouache she was given were the leftovers picked by others, the carriage she took out was the most bumpy, etc.

After all these and repeated attacks, Rong Qiaoyan was worried and scared, but she could only follow her aunt's instructions and serve the eldest lady with all her heart.

I didn't dare to file a complaint.

Even if you are so flattering, in the end, it is nothing more than...

Thinking about it later, Rong Qiaoyan couldn't help but sigh.

Later, when she chatted with her sixth sister-in-law a lot, she understood.

In Rongfu, fighting is useless.

If you are useful, the elders will take advantage of you; if you are useless, you will not be able to fight for it.

The so-called rules are only on the surface. Secretly, they are just based on profit.

When Grandma Yang heard Rong Qiaoyan sigh, her eyes turned red.

"The nannies are all useless. They can't even help the young lady to ask for things."

As the steward of this yard, she should try her best to get everything for her master.

However, she has a special status and it is not easy for her to stand out.

Seeing that Nanny Yang had misunderstood her sigh, Rong Qiaoyan could not explain the reason for her sigh. She could only pat her hand and comfort her: "Don't worry about it, nanny. You should just take care of the yard. Don't recruit anyone."

into my mother's eyes."

Eight years have passed since the previous incident, and the eldest son has not had any children since three years ago - and there will be no more children in the future.

Therefore, the eldest lady gradually let go of what happened eight years ago.

As long as Aunt Yang doesn't go out of her way to be an eyesore in front of the eldest lady, the ordinary eldest lady doesn't care much about her.

After all, as the mistress of a house, the eldest lady has a lot to do.

Grandpa Rong Zhiming’s marriage has been decided and will take place on the eighth day of April next year.

The eldest lady Rong Shunhua's wedding is scheduled for May 16 next year.

This son is getting married, a daughter is getting married, and the divorce period is less than a year away. The eldest lady is busy now.

Grandma Yang was comforted.

She looked at the time and it was getting late, so she quickly urged Rong Qiaoyan to go and say hello.

Rong Qiaoyan obediently took Miaozhi out of the room when she saw Bai Liu standing at the door.

"Miss, Bai Mei accidentally got her clothes wet just now. My maid will follow you to pay your respects."

Bai Liu said with a smile.

Rong Qiaoyan's feet paused.

Bai Mei just came out of her room with a washbasin, and she got wet by chance?

There is no need to think about this, it must be a good thing done by Bai Liu.

She didn't come out when she was serving. She had to go see the masters, but she came out.

However, Rong Qiaoyan said nothing, took Miaozhi's hand and walked out.

Bai Liu was not asking for instructions, he was just informing him.
