Chapter 222: Keru
This is really not a good sign, Rong Shaotang simply put down his pen and slowly lowered the folded sleeves.
He had nothing to do today, so he didn't wear a uniform, but he wore a homely white satin ruyi pattern gown. At the same time, his appearance is very like his mother, with beautiful eyebrows and oblique flights, high nose wings, plump and handsome, like a jade man, if it were not for his habit of showing people with a cold posture, adding a little evil spirit, he would inevitably be regarded as an ordinary merry son at first sight.
But Rong Shaosong grew up with him since he was a child, and he knows best how decisive and ruthless this sixth brother is under the indifferent face, how can he easily underestimate the character who even has to let the eldest brother from the big house have to let him score three points?
Seeing Rong Shaotang's mood like the weather in June, sunny and cloudy, Rong Shaosong didn't dare to stay longer, and was about to leave.
"Stop."
However, Rong Shaotang's voice was already one step ahead of him, and he spoke first.
Rong Shaosong stood by the door of the study, and asked with a smile inside and out: "I have to go out, does the sixth brother have anything to do?" ”
Rong Shaotang looked over coldly, and without his words, Rong Shaosong immediately jumped back and said, "I didn't have to worry about it just now, I'd better wait for the sixth brother to finish talking and I'll go." ”
Rong Shaotang turned his gaze back, took off his long shirt, sat down on the chair in the study and said, "What did you say in front of your grandfather before?" ”
"In front of Grandpa...... What can I say in front of my grandfather......" Rong Shaosong said a little stumbling, playing the drum vigorously in his heart, and secretly said that he hadn't talked to his grandfather recently, if necessary, he couldn't wait to avoid Rong Guojun. Although in the family motto of the Rong family, cultivating children is to cultivate virtue and ability, rather than concubines, and he is a typical example of concubines who can't support the wall. If you can't read well, you can't learn your skills well, only the skills of spending time and drinking can be mastered, but this skill is inevitably too unpopular, so when Rong Guojun sees that he is rarely happy, it is already considered a grace if he does not scold two sentences.
He didn't pretend to be confused, Rong Shaotang glanced at his stupid appearance, unconsciously looked away, calmed down and said, "How did Grandpa know that I had met with the fourth lady of the Li family?" ”
"Huh? Oh, what is this......" Rong Shaosong hesitated and wanted to run again, "Isn't the "Beijing Daily" rated Miss Fourth as the flower of the Beidi School, I saw it at my grandfather's place, so I mentioned it more, saying that we had seen her once when we were in Shanghai. But sixth brother, don't worry, I definitely didn't mention the matter of the town guard embassy and Du Jiu. ”
Forgive him for not having the courage to mention it!
Rong Shaotang lowered his head and groaned, it seemed that it was from that day that the news of his imminent marriage came out in the house. Could it be ...... What is grandpa going to set for the lame little girl of the Li family?
If this is the case, he will not agree to be the first one, what will he do with Rong Liu, what kind of person would dare to stuff him?
He frowned, and didn't want to sit still, so he beckoned Rong Shaosong: "Come here." ”
Rong Shaosong really bowed down obediently and skillfully, and came to him, and Rong Shaotang muttered to him. The more Rong Shaosong listened, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but raise his hand at the end: "No, no, if my father knows, he has to break my leg." ”
The mistake he made before his son was still hanging in his father's account and not being settled, and this time he asked him to recruit Yingying Yanyan to come to the house for a dance.
He didn't agree that Rong Shaotang had other methods, so he said, "Or, you come to the next post, and I will hold this ball." ”
"You're going to do it? Sixth brother, don't be kidding. "Who doesn't know that the six masters of the Rong family are the most evil singing and dancing, especially when the four sides are in turmoil, if there is a scandal of "the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river", it will be a mess.
"How can I do it as a joke?" Rong Shaotang glanced at him coldly, stood up and dusted off his shirt, and said neatly and decisively, "It's scheduled for this Saturday night, and I'm going to hold a dance party." ”
"What about the name? You can't just have a dance party for no reason, right? ”
Rong Shaosong still couldn't believe it.
Rong Shaotang didn't think about it and said: "Let's just say that it's to congratulate one person, as for who to congratulate, let them guess." ”
All he wants is the headlines in the newspaper tomorrow, and it is bound to let his grandfather and the Li family know that he is not at the mercy of others.
It is rare for him to have this interest, Rong Shaosong is naturally willing to contribute, and besides, he already likes to be lively, and he is always not interesting when his family is tightly restrained. Hey, this time it's not his idea, he can enjoy a fun again, no matter how you look at it, it's a good errand, it's a big heart, scattering invitations everywhere, not to mention that the local ladies and ladies in Nanjing have received invitations, and even the nearby Zhenjiang and Yangzhou have invited people to come.
The Rong family as a whole is a Western-style building, the courtyard is spacious and generous, and the lawn in the yard is all imported from the United States Four Seasons Green, which is the most suitable for holding a dance party at night with colorful lanterns and tables and chairs.
When Rong Shao Song posted a post, he naturally sent it to relatives everywhere, especially the Lin family, who had close contacts with the Rong family, and he personally came to the door to deliver it to Lin Keru, the eldest lady of the Lin family.
Lin Keru thanked him and asked, "Well, why did your sixth brother hold a ball?" ”
Rong Shaosong naturally said according to what Rong Shaotang taught him: "I heard that it was opened to congratulate someone. ”
"To congratulate someone?" It is now half of July, and Rong Shaotang's birthday is in the second half of the first month, so it must not be for himself. And her birthday is close, on the first day of August, could it be for her? Lin Keru pinched the invitation in his hand, knocked his chin lightly and smiled slightly, "It's rare for him to have this thought." ”
"Yes, that's what I said." Rong Shaosong didn't know what she was thinking, so she only said, "In the past, when the sixth brother didn't criticize me with a cold face when he saw me participating in the ball, this time he changed his sex." The opportunity is rare, but Miss, you must remember to come that day. ”
"His ball, I'm going to it."
Lin Keru put away the invitation, and did not keep Rong Shaosong for tea, so he asked someone to send him out.
Rong Shao Song came in a hurry, walked happily, and blamed Rong Shaotang and Lin Keru in his heart, and it was difficult for these two people to have endless conversations, one was arrogant, and there was no word of thanks after calling him, but he was used as a microphone.
He went home in a huff, and looked at everyone a little unpleasantly. It just so happened that the weather was fine today, and several sisters-in-law in the family had nothing to do, so they made an appointment to go to the theater to listen to the play, and they didn't come back until noon.
