Du Ruo was favored again. During the day, she knew that Cheng Yunshuo had picked her up after hearing her fever at the family dinner yesterday.
He didn't even give the old Marquis Qin's face. At that moment, the secret joy and satisfaction in his heart was extremely high.
Even afterward, everyone in the house was talking about them, and the old Marquis and Mrs. Qin would even be disgusted with Cheng Yunshuo because of her actions.
She didn't care at all.
Because she likes this feeling of being criticized.
The more everyone discusses her, the more she has a sense of presence and satisfaction, and she can feel Cheng Yunshuo's favor towards her.
She didn't care at all about the attitude of the old Marquis of the Qin family towards her.
She would even compare her with Xing Dairong.
If the old Marquis of the Qin family dislikes her and hates her more than the previous Xing Dairong, she will be complacent.
Because she knew that it meant that she had surpassed the previous one.
Of course, the old Marquis of the Qin family was too lazy to pay attention to her.
But the old Marquis of the Qin family ignored her and had a different feeling in her heart.
She will feel that there will be no consequences if she does this, and she will become even more unscrupulous.
She only felt that her weight was very important.
Today, her brother found her.
"Aunt Du, your brother is here."
"Brother is here, where is he?" Du Ruo heard her brother coming and stood up immediately.
"At the back door."
"Why are you at the back door and not inviting people in?" Du Ruo scolded.
Xiaoqin didn't even bother to tell her about the rules of the house. Foreign men could not enter the inner house easily. Even Cheng Qi, who had recently been a guest in the house, lived in the outer courtyard.
When a foreigner comes to visit, he can only invite him to the reception room in the outer courtyard.
"Master Du doesn't want to come in, so he asked you to go to the back door." Xiaoqin said.
This is true. Du Tai came to the door today. Even if he came from the back door, he would not enter the house and asked Du Ruo to sneak over.
"Fine."
Du Ruo was too lazy to say anything else, so she quickly got up and went to the back door to see her brother.
As soon as she walked in, she saw her second brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"elder brother!"
"Aruo?" Du Tai's eyes lit up when he saw Du Ruo, then he looked left and right, "Yunshuo doesn't know if you come here."
"He went to the palace as an errand, how could he know?"
Du Tai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "How are you doing?"
"Very good. I am favored in the Hou Mansion. My master favors me alone. Even the Marquis and his wife dare not interfere." Du Ruo raised his head, his face full of pride.
When Du Tai heard this, he rolled his eyes and smiled with satisfaction, "That's good, then you must have money. Lend brother some money to spend."
Du Ruo: "..."
She stared at her brother with wide eyes. His brother had already taken off the coin purse from her waist by himself.
"Why do you only have so little silver?" Du Tai opened his silver wallet and took a look at the money inside.
Du Ruo carries a few pieces of silver with him. As an aunt, she has to take care of the servants when something happens, but she doesn't have much money, no more than one tael of silver at most.
"Brother, how much do you want?"
"Give me ten taels of silver first!"
"What do you want so much money for?" Du Ruo stared.
Du Tai rolled his eyes and showed a flattering smile, "My hands are smelly recently and I have lost a lot."
Du Ruo immediately raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "You're gambling again!"
"It's a little gambling for fun, just for fun."
"There are ten liang!"
"Isn't my sister favored? Ten taels of silver are nothing!" Du Tai smiled, "Help brother."
Du Ruo glanced at him and said angrily, "Just wait!"
She went back to the house and took out ten taels of silver from the dowry box. Excluding some fixed assets from the original dowry, the money she got married for was only a few hundred taels.
The bulk of it was the bride price given by the Hou Mansion.
After giving Du Tai 10 taels of silver, Du Ruo warned him fiercely, "Don't gamble anymore! Do you understand?"
"I know, my good sister." Du Tai looked at her with a smile after getting the money, "You are doing well in the Marquis Mansion. If you are angry, tell your brother, I will call you to support you!"
"Come on!"
Du Ruo was too lazy to pay attention to him, closed the door and drove Du Tai away.
However, things didn't stop.
The next day, Du Tai came to ask for money again.
This time it's fifty taels.
When Du Ruo heard the amount, he was so angry that he scolded Du Tai.
As an aunt in the Hou Mansion, she only had two taels of silver a month, while Du Tai lost fifty taels every time he lost.
Despite the scolding, Du Ruo finally gave the money to Du Tai in disgust.
Du Taiqian promised that he would never gamble again.
Du Ruo was angry and angry, and ordered him to be driven away.
He didn't come on the third day, but on the west day, Du Yang came to the door.
"Brother, are you here to ask for money too?"
"Your second brother was caught by the casino. If he didn't pay, he would have his hand chopped off." Du Yang was more reliable than Du Tai, he said with embarrassment.
When Du Ruo heard this, he was so angry that he threw something at the back door, "What did you do? It's not that you don't want to gamble, why do you gamble every day?"
"Have you lent him money before?"
"Yes, he has borrowed sixty taels from me in a row! How much does he owe this time!"
"One hundred taels."
"One hundred taels!" Du Ruo's eyes dropped, "Second brother, how dare he! He bets every day, and he bets so big!"
Du Yang had a sad look on his face and frowned, "I can't help it. You can't watch him get his hand chopped off by someone from the gambling house!"
Du Ruo tilted his head and sighed helplessly, "I don't have much money anymore. This is the last time I will help you!"
Fortunately, after giving the money this time, the Du family stopped and did not come to the door again.
Today is also the big day of the draft.
After ten days of rush production, brand new clothes, a full set of luxurious jewelry, accessories, and everything that could be used when entering the palace were prepared for Qin Shaojing.
The Qin family personally sent Qin Shaojing to the palace together with Lu Lingjun.
The palace will pay a carriage fee for the talent show, which is not much, only ten taels of silver for each show girl.
Naturally, the Marquis Mansion refused to accept the money and gave it to the father-in-law who sent the message first.
The father-in-law looked at Mrs. Qin with a smile, "Miss Qin has a pure heart, is dignified and polite, and my family must be rich and noble."
When Ms. Qin heard this, she smiled from ear to ear. She gave Aunt Wen a wink, and Aunt Wen presented her with a big, thick money bag.
"This is my niece's first time entering the palace. If she doesn't understand anything then, my father-in-law will definitely help her."
"This is certain, certain." The father-in-law calmly accepted all the money, revealing a message to the Qin family, "This year many princes have reached the age of marriage. His Highness the Crown Prince likes pink and blue clothes the most, and the third prince likes Green clothes, the fifth prince likes purple clothes, and light yellow clothes are versatile, and the Queen Mother likes them."
After saying that, the father-in-law left.
After receiving the news, Qin and Qin Shaojing's eyes immediately lit up.
"Auntie, I want to change into pink and blue clothes."
