Chapter 16: Clues
Zhen Zhen twisted comfortably in her aunt's arms, "Auntie, what do you sell in your own shop?" ”
"There are only three shops for my aunt, and the others are all Zhuangzi outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The three shops are all selling some women's things, one is a rouge gouache shop, the other is a silk and satin shop, and there is a ready-to-wear shop, and then the business is not good, so the shop is rented out.
Speaking of which, thanks to your eldest cousin's girl Rong Yunlin, she likes to fiddle with some incense since she was a child, and the incense in this non-rouge gouache shop is all fiddled out by herself, not to mention, the business is much better than before? Madame Rongda said with pride.
Mother Qin thought a little more, and Sister Zhen suddenly asked this, is there a shortage of money in her hand? Quietly touched Mrs. Rongda.
Without waiting for Mrs. Rong to react, Zhen Zhen came out of her arms with some excitement, "Really, Linlin still has this ability?"
Auntie, that's great. Zhen Zhen thought about how to talk to her aunt carefully.
Mrs. Rong and Mother Qin were shocked by Sister Zhen's actions, what happened to this child?
Vera had her own plans, the poor girl, no one knew she was dead until now, and no one would ever know.
I occupy other people's bodies, shouldn't I have an explanation? Especially such a wise and forbearant girl, how pitiful and lonely it is that no one thinks about it after death!
Since he occupies other people's bodies, he has to carry the lives of two people, no matter what his married life is in the future, in other places where he is able, he still wants more people to know and remember Ye Zhenzhen's name, which can be regarded as making up for the debt of the predecessor, and it can be regarded as another salvation for the girl.
Another point is that although his grandfather was dismissed from his official position, his prestige still has a great influence in the court, especially his protégés account for almost half of the court, and this Rong family will still be his biggest reliance in the future.
"Aunt, Sister Zhen has a lot of ideas, wait a few days for Sister Zhen to go back to her grandfather's house to live for a while, and we will plan carefully at that time."
As soon as Mrs. Rong heard that Zhen Zhen could go back to live for a few days, she threw everything away, "Sister Zhen, are you telling the truth?" ”
Zhen Zhen grinned and snuggled into her aunt's arms, "Auntie, you can clean up the room for Sister Zhen and wait for Sister Zhen!" ”
"Okay, that's good, I'll go back and tell your grandfather, the old man will be fine."
Although Mrs. Rong is full of promises, but her heart is indeed as calm as turning over the river and the sea, since the Hou Ye resigned from the official position, the Rong Mansion was angered by the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and later almost broke off contact.
I came here today because my father-in-law really couldn't rest assured that Sister Zhen was here, so I came here with the attitude of trying, who knew that it would be easier than I imagined.
Especially the attitude of Xiao Bai and the old lady today, as well as the attitude of Xiao Bai when he came to Xiao Meiyuan to Sister Zhen, these are too unusual, at least not like the style of those in the Hou Mansion.
So it can only be said that there are other things that I don't know, what is it that makes such a vicious old lady and the mean Xiaobai look at Sister Zhen differently?
When I go back, I still have to do some research.
"Auntie can't stay here for a long time, so I'll go home and tell your grandfather." Mrs. Rong reluctantly pulled Zhen Zhen out of her arms, and then took out a small purse from her arms and handed it to Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen looked at the small purse that her aunt took out, she knew very well what was inside, and she was not hypocritical, so she took it with both hands and put it in her arms.
"Aunt, don't worry about Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen will have the best life in the future." Zhen Zhen vowed to live so that everyone would envy her when she saw her.
"Okay, well, then my aunt will be relieved." Mrs. Rong picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears, stood up and walked to the door, turned around and hugged Zhen Zhen into her arms.
"Sister Zhen, remember, the Rong family is your dependence, don't carry everything by yourself." After speaking, she ruthlessly let go of Zhen Zhen and walked out quickly.
Zhen Zhen was brought out of tears by her aunt again, and the tears fell down without wiping, so she sent her aunt out of the room, and then out of the hanging flower door, and the aunt didn't even look back and left.
Zhen Zhen returned to the yard, and before she could enter the house, she squatted down in the yard, hugged her knees, and began to cry bitterly.
Although what he told his aunt was the truth, he still had no confidence in his heart, he was alone in another world, he didn't know how to go tomorrow, and no one told him about the grievances and pains in his heart, and that sense of dazed despair shrouded in Zhen Zhen's heart.
What happened in Zhen Zhen's courtyard quickly spread to the old lady and Xiao Bai's family, including Zhen Zhen's crying in the courtyard.
Xiao Bai smiled a little gloated, "Auntie, I said that it is useless for Mrs. Rong to come, it is just to see if people are okay, and she can't do anything else." ”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction, it seems that Mrs. Rong didn't say anything useful when she came, otherwise the three girls wouldn't be so painful.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, didn't the clothes be sent over, hurry up, and I'm going to the banquet tomorrow."
You made it clear to that girl that you must not make any more moths at the banquet, it will be a big deal. ”
If Zhen Zhen is here, she will really feel cold, her own granddaughter is in such a situation, not only does she not have a trace of compassion and sadness, but she is worried about tomorrow's banquet?
Human nature is so indifferent and indifferent, no wonder Hou Ye has been gone for a few years, and he also knows that his wife is such a cold-blooded heart!
After the old lady finished speaking, she beckoned to Mother Kang to bring over a delicate Nanmu carved box, "Here are some jewelry, Mother Kang will follow and take it together." "My niece knows it too well, sometimes she is shrewd, sometimes her eyelids are too shallow, so it's better to let Mother Kang send it over in person.
Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with jealousy and envy, it must be a good thing left by the old lady for many years, and she secretly hated Zhen Zhen in her heart.
"Auntie, sister Huan, ......" Xiaobai tried his best to fight for his daughter.
"Take her tomorrow just to cover up. Don't be too shallow, when this girl gets married, what can't you get? The old lady's tone was a little stern, and his eyes were also full of anger, and he glared at Xiao Bai fiercely.
Xiao Bai saw that his aunt was really anxious, and he was a little scared, "Auntie, I'll send that girl over." Xiao Bai immediately smiled all over his face, smiled flatteringly at the old lady, and said goodbye.
The old lady looked at the little Bai clan who went out, and her heart was full of powerlessness, did she do anything wrong to help this person at the beginning. If you marry another room and come back to the Hou Mansion, wouldn't it be much better than now?
Alas, what's the use of thinking about these now, since he corrected Xiaobai's family, his son has completely separated from himself, although the external gifts are impeccable, he knows in his heart that the mother and son are only left with the superficial maintenance, and there is no real flesh and blood affection.
Forget it, as a mother, I racked my brains and tried my best for him. As long as the third girl is married to the Dingguo Mansion, the son's errand will be settled.
Zhen Zhen cried happily, and her mood got strangely better. After entering the house and cleaning up, he took a few girls and began to wander around the yard.
"Third Miss, Madame is here." The mother-in-law who guarded the door reported loudly at the Hanging Flower Gate.
Zhen Zhen looked at Qiu Jin strangely and then at the door, come here at this time? Is it to see the excitement?
"My son, why are you outside in such a cold weather? How do you slaves serve your master, the cold weather picks up your master to wander around outside. ”
As soon as Xiao Bai entered the yard, he saw Zhen Zhen walking around the yard with a comfortable look, and his heart immediately became uncomfortable, shouldn't he hide sadly and be sad?
"I don't know what advice Madame has for coming to my small courtyard?" Zhen Zhen saluted and asked in a tepid tone.
Ever since Zhen Zhen turned her face with them, she felt that there was no need to perform those fake scenes of motherhood and filial piety.
Xiao Bai's heart is secretly hateful, so I will let you be proud for a few days, and when you know what good family affairs you have set, see how you beg me.
"If you don't help your young lady into the house, they're all useless minions." Xiao Bai took the opportunity to enter Zhen Zhen's house.
Sitting on the couch in the East Pavilion, Xiao Bai covered his mouth with a handkerchief, "Seeing that you are all older, it is time to go out for a walk and see the world."
Tomorrow, your eldest aunt will hold a plum appreciation banquet in the Zhan Wang's Mansion, and invite the noble family of the capital to enjoy the plum blossoms.
Tomorrow, my mother will take you and Huan Huan with her.
White mother, bring in Miss's clothes. Xiao Bai didn't feel guilty or uneasy at all, and actually said these words so openly, forgetting that Zhen Zhen had a marriage contract before, but she was robbed by herself.
Mother Bai came in with two girls holding two large trays, "Third Miss, this is Mrs. ......"
Zhen Zhen ignored these people's pretended posture at all, and motioned to Qiu Jin to put it away, don't let these clothes be in vain.
Mother Kang stepped forward arrogantly, "This is the jewelry head that the old lady has rewarded." As soon as he stretched out his hand, he handed it to Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen didn't raise her head or open her eyes, nor did she tell someone to take it.
The old lady's previous mother was Ding's mother, and she was sent to Cining Nunnery because the third lady was sick, Ding's mother couldn't bear it, and said a few good words for the third lady, and was reprimanded by the old lady to the yard, and the house was taken over by Kang's mother.
Since Mother Kang entered the old lady's house, that is, the chicken dog has ascended to heaven, and the fox and tiger all day long regard herself as a character.
The old lady and Xiao Bai's attitude towards the third lady Kang's mother saw it in her eyes, and she actually followed suit.
Kang's mother stretched out her hand for a long time and no one paid attention to it, so she wanted to have a seizure, Zhen Zhen got up, "Madame, if there is nothing else, Madame, Zhen Zhen will not bother Madame." ”
It means that you hurry back and go about your business.
actually left Kang's mother aside.
Xiao Bai saw all this in his eyes, and his heart was secretly refreshed, you don't want to be the best, I will leave Sister Huan, turn around and prepare to leave.
