Chapter 346 Birthday
The old prince held a birthday, and Su Shi seemed very interested, and called Liu Ruoxi and Lao Shi to give a lot of instructions. But when it was time to take care of things, Su Shi was sleepy at night, and he also contracted some wind cold.
The Su family couldn't be a director, and the princess even called the old lady back, saying that she had not been in good health recently, and many things in Rongyuan Hall had to be taken care of, so she couldn't let the old lady come to the council hall for the time being.
This birthday matter fell on the shoulders of Liu Ruoxi and Lloyd's.
And Lloyd's is too careful, and he refuses to take one more step and say one more word. In this way, the burden on Liu Ruoxi's shoulders will inevitably become heavier.
After the day's events were cooked, Liu Ruoxi was inevitably a little tired, so she leaned on the couch and asked June to help her beat her legs to eliminate fatigue.
Rong Chenghan also sat on the couch and slowly flipped through a volume of documents.
Liu Ruoxi raised her eyes and glanced at Rong Chenghan, and couldn't help but complain to Rong Chenghan.
“…… Now everyone knows that if this longevity wine is done well, it is naturally good as ordered by the mother, and the princess is virtuous, and it has nothing to do with me. But if one of them doesn't work well, it will only fall on my head. …… Why am I suffering, thankless......"
Rong Chenghan knew that Liu Ruoxi had been working hard recently, so he simply put down the paperwork and listened carefully.
Rong Chenghan's attitude did make Liu Ruoxi's mood feel a lot more relaxed. She couldn't complain to others about these words, so she could only vent her bitterness to Rong Chenghan. If Rong Chenghan doesn't take it seriously, I'm afraid she will really vomit.
"Rao is my hard work, there is no benefit at all, and I have to be suspicious, and I have to be guarded against everywhere, for fear that if I seize power for a while, what will happen. Don't they know, I can't wait to move out and live, the gold and silver mountains in this house. Baby Pearl, I don't take the things they value. ”
"Good work, Auntie." Rong Chenghan listened carefully to Liu Ruoxi's complaints, and comforted him softly, "If others don't know, I know." Moreover, the father also knew it in his heart. We don't deserve to be angry with others. ”
"Not for anything else, but for my father." The old prince treats the little pig really well, and no matter what he does to Rong Chenghan. Liu Ruoxi has always valued and maintained.
Rong Chenghan said this, and Liu Ruoxi couldn't refute it.
"Sometimes I really want to do a bad thing or two, so that I don't have to worry about things anymore, and I can have a quiet time, and I don't have to be secretly suspicious and wary of me, but not everyone is happy." Liu Ruoxi sighed, "But I really can't do it." I didn't have it, and I didn't have it, and it ruined my own reputation. ”
Liu Ruoxi is telling the truth, she really once imagined it this way. But just think about it. It doesn't really put it into action. In the final analysis, she is still a little arrogant and refuses to be praised or criticized.
Liu Ruoxi not only didn't deliberately do anything, but everything that was handed over to her. She did her best to do it very well. Sometimes, she will even disobey the wishes of the Su family and the princess, just to get things done.
"There is a saying on the street, it is called to do things from the east. It's useless to be exhausted, and that's not how I think. Liu Ruoxi smiled bitterly and said to Rong Chenghan.
The backyard of this palace is the Su family and the princess after all. If Liu Ruoxi was more sleek, she shouldn't be so tough. As long as the Su family and the princess have instructions, she just does it, and if things go wrong, she only needs to say that it is the orders of these two people, and who can help her. In this way, she flattered the Su family and the princess, and she didn't have to work so hard.
Liu Ruoxi is not unable to be tactful, she just chose this approach now.
Go straight, and don't deliberately try to please the Su family and the princess.
As a result of Liu Ruoxi's actions, although the whole palace was managed in an orderly manner, it was even much better than when the Su family and the Lao family were in charge together, but Liu Ruoxi's reputation among the subordinates was also achieved.
The wife of the housekeeper of the palace is not only the most shrewd and capable, but also an iron-fisted person.
Liu Ruoxi didn't even buy the accounts of the Su family and the princess, let alone the subordinates of the palace. What has a face and no face, Liu Ruoxi will not consider these. In the eyes of Liu Ruoxi, the housekeeper's wife, she can only be loyal and capable and cunning and useless.
The loyal and capable have all benefited and been reused, as for those who are cunning and useless, and even some think that Liu Ruoxi is young and tender, unfamiliar with the affairs of the palace, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, Liu Ruoxi is not soft at all.
Some were punished and stayed, and from then on they served carefully, and they didn't dare to have other thoughts, and for the stubborn, Liu Ruoxi simply hit the board and threw them out.
There was a very qualified steward, because Liu Ruoxi wanted to get rid of him, he also begged the old prince. But Liu Ruoxi didn't even buy the face of the old prince, and finally drove people out.
If someone wants to be suspicious, let them be jealous. If she is not allowed to take care of the house, she will be happy. But as long as she is allowed to take care of it for a day, she will manage it according to her own will.
is not in charge, Liu Ruoxi will never allow this situation to happen to her.
Liu Ruoxi is like this, not only are the people serving in the palace afraid of her obeying her, but even Lloy's is also convinced of her. Although Lloy's avoided suspicion, he spared no effort to assist Liu Ruoxi.
Because such a foundation has been laid before, although it is the first time to encounter a major event, Liu Ruoxi is still unhurried and organized.
Even so, there were too many things, and Liu Ruoxi was inevitably tired, so she complained to Rong Chenghan a few words.
"If you're tired, you might as well say you're sick. …… You can't be sick and tired......" Rong Chenghan said again.
Liu Ruoxi was about to complain a few words, but when she heard Rong Chenghan say this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"Now in this house, if I am sick, who else can bear this matter?" This is still a trivial matter, if Liu Ruoxi doesn't do it at this time, the old prince's birthday wine will be stranded and can't be done, Liu Ruoxi can't bear it.
The old prince is also an elderly person, and Liu Ruoxi hopes to happily hold a birthday wine for the old prince.
Thinking so, Liu Ruoxi glanced at Rong Chenghan again. Rong Chenghan couldn't hold back at this time, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Are you agitating? You know I wouldn't say that by leaving my burden halfway through like this?! Liu Ruoxi guessed Rong Chenghan's intentions.
Rong Chenghan smiled but did not speak.
"I must do this thing beautifully, and when my father's birthday is over and my mother's body is better, let's talk about going out to live, I'm afraid it's easier." Liu Ruoxi thought for a moment. He said with a smile.
Liu Ruoxi did what she said.
On the birthday of the old prince, the palace was full of joy. Liu Ruoxi and Rong Chenghan both got up early in the morning, the two of them freshened up, and cleaned up the little pigs neatly and put on festive clothes. The husband and wife took the little pig to Chunhui Hall to pay homage to the old prince.
Su's body is slightly better and he can come out to meet guests. The princess was also carried in a sedan chair.
During the year, that is, on these limited days, the princess has to bow in front of the old prince and the Su family.
The prince Rong Chengyi and the princess took Rong Jin to congratulate the old prince on his birthday, and the old prince called Rong Jin to sit beside him. After that, it was Rong Chenghan's turn and Liu Ruoxi. Rong Chenghan personally held the little pig and saluted the old prince.
The little pig was in his father's arms, and he had already seen his grandfather, and while he was screaming vaguely, he stretched out two fat and short arms to the old prince.
As soon as the old prince saw the little pig, he was already smiling. When Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruoxi saluted, the old prince hurriedly asked Rong Chenghan to hug the little pig.
"Little pig, how did your father teach you, you have to kowtow to your grandfather for his birthday!" Liu Ruoxi smiled next to her and taught the little pig.
The little pig is too young, so naturally he can't understand what Liu Ruoxi says. But this was taught by Liu Ruoxi for many days. With Rong Chenghan next to him, Rong Chenghan picked up the little pig and let the little pig kneel on the couch. The little piglet meat dumplings are generally clumped together, with the assistance of their father. crookedly kowtowed to the old prince.
"Oh...... Wow, wow, wow......" said the little pig with bubbles in his mouth.
The old prince's smiling eyes narrowed into a line, and he hurriedly reached out and hugged the little pig.
"Good grandson, grandfather's good little pig......" The old prince kissed the little pig's head and greeted the people serving next to him. Tipping. Hurry up and tip. ”
Such a little grandson kowtowed to the old prince for his birthday, and the reward given by the old prince was naturally insignificant. The old prince gave the little pig two bags of small gold bills of various colors, and took out a pair of little golden pigs. Also given to the little piglets.
"It was that day that I saw the scattered gold, and I thought of the little pig, and I made it melt out. I was going to watch it by my side, but when I saw this pair of golden pigs, I thought of our little pigs. Now it's just for the little pig. The old prince laughed.
Rong Jin had already received the reward, but the old prince asked Rong Jin to give him a few gold bills. A pair of little golden pigs, but they were all given to the little pigs.
The little pig has sat firmly in the arms of the old prince at this moment, and when he saw that the old prince gave him so many things, the little guy reached out and touched them one by one, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth. The little pig's appearance provoked the old prince to laugh for a while.
"Since I had the little pig Chenghuan on my knees, my father's smile has increased several times more every day. The little pig is the lucky star in our house and the pistachio of the father. Rong Chengyi said with a smile.
"Poor Jin'er, she has been sick since she was a child...... "The princess suddenly said, her tone was complaining, and her eyes were red as she spoke.
Everyone was happy, and the princess was so abrupt and out of place, and the room suddenly quieted down. Everyone is embarrassed.
Rong Chengyi glanced at the princess quickly, and reached out to secretly pinch the princess's hand.
The princess raised her eyes and glanced at the princess, but she really stopped.
"Jin'er has been much better recently, and it will be good for Jin'er to let him be with Little Pig more in the future, and accompany his father. Perhaps, the lucky star of our little pig, can also help Jin'er get better slowly. Rong Chengyi smiled again.
With his smile, the atmosphere in the room immediately eased again. Everyone tried their best to pretend that they didn't hear what the princess had just said.
"It's good that you think so, that's fine." The old prince twisted his beard and said with a smile.
Obviously, Rong Chengyi's words are exactly what the old prince thinks in his heart, and it is also what the old prince wants to see the most.
People with a little introspection are like lilies growing in thorn bushes, because the reference objects are ugly and stiff, and lilies always have to suspect that their weakness and beauty are out of place, and Liu Ruoxi and others have just given the old prince a birthday, and the eunuchs in the palace have come to pass the decree and send the emperor's reward. The whole family received the order under the leadership of the old prince.
The eunuch who sent the decree away, and the decree and the reward were offered in the main hall. Although the old prince's birthday is simple, there are still many people who come to celebrate his birthday. Everyone looked at the decree and the reward, and each was envious. The old prince was also very interested in this, and he laughed endlessly for a while.
Everyone in the Liu family. From the old lady Liu, down to Liu Yuxiang, Liu Yuwen and others all came to the palace to pay tribute to the old prince. After seeing the old prince and the Su family, everyone in the Liu family came to Yunshui to drink tea.
The little pig was naturally hugged out, and was surrounded by everyone in the middle like the stars holding the moon.
The little pig was not afraid of sound, because some of the faces he was not familiar with, and at first he sat steadily, but a pair of big eyes looked around curiously. It's not like it's usually so skinny, but like a very quiet and well-behaved baby.
It's just that he was quiet and well-behaved for a while, and then he was jubilant again. Mrs. Liu took the little pig into her arms and hugged her for a while, because the little pig was happy. Mrs. Liu could barely hold the piglet.
The little pig is jumping so hard.
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu saw it next to them, Second Master Liu was faster than Second Mrs. Liu's movements, and he took the little pig into his arms first.
"The old lady can't hold him, this kid is getting heavier and heavier, and he has a lot of strength. Not to mention the old lady, even my hand that is used to holding a pen can't hold him anymore. Second Master Liu said with a smile, most of these words are true, except for the last sentence.
Second Master Liu is still very fond of his little grandson. Although I was a little tired after holding it for a long time, I was willing to do it.
"Father is tired, give it to me." As soon as Liu Er's voice fell, Liu Yuwen immediately said. He also gestured and stretched out his hand, "I learned riding and archery with my brother-in-law, and now I have some strength." ”
"Oh...... No, no need to ......" Second Master Liu hurriedly refused, so that he had the opportunity to hug his little grandson. This is not yet hot, where is it willing to let people.
Everyone revolves around the little piglet, but they don't delay gossiping.
"Xiang's daughter-in-law diagnosed the happy pulse. That's why I didn't let her come today. Mrs. Liu San sued Liu Ruoji.
Xiangda/Grandma is pregnant, this is a great joy, Liu Ruoxi is also very happy, thinking in her heart that it is no wonder that Mrs. Liu's spirit is exceptionally good today, it turns out that the Liu family has added such a happy event.
"My aunt and grandmother came back from carrying a letter from outside......"
Liu Ruoyuan is still a little unaccustomed to life in other places, and she wrote to Mrs. Liu to complain, as if she wanted to come back. Although Mrs. Liu felt sorry for Liu Ruoyuan, she did not agree.
"I have written a reply to the past, so that she can stay with her in office with peace of mind. If she comes back willfully, I won't recognize her, and she won't have to go to the door of Liu's house in the future. Old Lady Liu said to Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoyuan nodded secretly, Mrs. Liu is really thinking about Liu Ruoyuan.
"I see, my aunt and grandmother have been much more sensible in the past two years. If you leave it in the past, where will you carry any letters, I am afraid that I will run back in private. Mrs. Liu San said.
Frustration is the best teacher in life, Liu Ruoyuan has been frustrated again and again, and finally learned something. Liu Ruoyuan's future life may not be too smooth, but she can go on forever.
"The eldest lady said that she wanted to go to the temple to lose ......her hair," Mrs. Liu lowered her voice and told Liu Ruoxi.
"Oh?" Liu Ruoxi was taken aback.
"Since the second girl is gone, the eldest lady seems to have changed. Now he said that he was going to the temple to lose his hair, saying that he wanted to atone for his sins and recite a lifetime of scriptures for the eldest girl and the second girl in front of the Buddha. Mrs. Liu said again.
"I'm afraid it won't work. How could the old lady and the old man agree. Liu Ruoxi said.
"No." Second Mrs. Liu nodded, the Liu family may have a daughter who has lost her hair as a nun, but she can't have a daughter-in-law who has fallen into a nun. "The old lady said that it's okay to go to the temple to recite scriptures, but you don't have to lose your hair......"
"That's a way out." Mrs. Liu is now just a general ornament in the Liu family. Master Liu didn't want to remarry, and there was Liu Yuhai, and Mrs. Liu went to the temple to recuperate, and there was not much hindrance in all aspects.
"Exactly." Mrs. Liu nodded again, "I see that she seems to really regret it now." ”
Mrs. Liu now knows that Liu Ruojuan has always suspected that she is not her own child. (To be continued......)
