Chapter 248: Enter the palace
The afterglow of the evening had not yet been washed away, and the big red wind lamps in front of the Rong Mansion lit up a row. Luo Yan's carriage had just stopped, and there was the sound of horses' hooves behind them.
Luo Yan helped Rong Xi's men get out of the car, and Mrs. Jiang and Rong Yongxi also got off the car in front of them, and when they heard the sound of the carriage behind them, they looked back together.
A warm car decorated with red tassels at the four corners of the canopy slowly stopped, and Rong Jue jumped out of the car. Rong Jue looked at Luo Yan and Rong Xi for a moment, and then glanced at Rong Yongxi and Mrs. Jiang, "The third uncle and third aunt are back!" Rong Xi's voice couldn't hear half of the warmth.
"Winter has to come back. Where did the virtuous nephew come from, it seems that he has walked a lot of roads. Obviously, Rong Yongxi was in a happy mood and said a few more words.
"Yes, it's the Winter Festival, and I have to give my ancestors a pillar of incense to ask for protection. The nephew rushed back from the capital. Rong Jue nodded at Rong Jue and turned to look at the carriage. The curtain of the car was raised, and Shui Lian jumped out of the car and raised her hand to help Meng Lingju get out of the car.
"Mother-in-law, let's go in first!" Luo Yan took Rong Xi's arm and walked behind Mrs. Jiang and Rong Yongxi.
Meng Lingju was more enthusiastic than Rong Jue, and politely shouted the third uncle and third aunt behind her, and when Mrs. Jiang and Rong Yongxi turned to look at her, she gave a light salute......
"It's such a coincidence, the third master and the third grandmother are also back." Meng Lingju wore a brocade cloak sprinkled with crimson flowers, and his face looked a little gloomy.
"yes, what a coincidence." Luo Yan answered, took Rong Xi and quickly caught up with Mrs. Jiang, and walked towards Cuiyuan together.
Rong Jue stood at the door and looked up at the red wind lantern, Meng Lingju came in and called him, but he didn't seem to hear it. Meng Lingju had to walk up to him and pull his sleeve, "Xianggong, it's almost time, we still have to take a shower and change clothes!" ”
"Hmm!" Rong Jue retracted his gaze and stepped into the mansion. Meng Lingju was stunned at the door for a moment, then quickly caught up with Rong Jue and entered the Yonglu Building together......
The treasure chest saw Rong Yongxi and Rong Xi enter the Cui Yuan, and shouted happily: "The third master and the third master are back!" Jin Hai lifted the curtain. Invite them in.
Rong Yongxi and Mrs. Jiang gave the old lady a salute, and Rong Xi and Luo Yan also gave a full salute.
"Sit down, sit down!" The old lady wore a newly-made forehead wipe on her head, and her face was smiling like a flower. beckoned Rong Xi and Luo Yan to sit beside her.
"Is the old lady always good?" Rong Yongxi sat down and looked at the old lady with a smile.
"Good, good! It's never been so good! The Rong family finally has hope. Old Lady Rong looked a little excited.
"That's good, the old lady is in good health, and it is a blessing for us to be the younger generations of our children." Mrs. Jiang's face also looked particularly vivid in the brilliant lights.
Luo Yan knew that it was all because Rong Jianniang had entered the palace! In the end, the Rong family still hopes to be attached to the glorious lintel of the emperor. But who of them would understand the pain in Rong Jiaoniang's heart......
“…… Jiao Niang can enter the palace, so it is not in vain that the old lady has cultivated for so many years. Rong Yongxi couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, happiness came too suddenly. Although he is not greedy for vanity, he can contribute to the glory of the Rong family, and he is of course proud to be a descendant of the Rong family. Especially on today's day of petitioning ancestors.
"Yes! These many years of training Jiao Niang have not wasted my efforts. You're kind of out of it! Especially Li Niang, I didn't expect Li Niang's life to be so good, and this time she was also called into the palace! I thought she missed the age of the draft,......," Mrs. Rong chattered.
Luo Yan was really surprised, Rong Liniang also entered the palace! I didn't expect Rong Liniang to enter the palace with Rong Jiaoniang.
"Why are your little hands so cold! It's not enough for Rong Xi to hurt you! Mrs. Rong patted Luo Yan's hand, smiled, and looked at Rong Xi again. Rong Xi! If you win the first Jinshi, you will be able to get the emperor's own imperial seal, and then make some merits, whether the Rong family can inherit the prince depends on you! ”
"The old lady is right, it's not enough for me to love Luo Yan, she has to worry about her business every day, and I will love my mother more in the future. But the prince that the old lady said, I'm afraid that Rong Xi won't be able to do it! Although Rong Xi knew that the old lady was confused from time to time, she also understood that the inheritance of the throne on the ancestors of the Rong family was the wish of the old lady......
"This." The old lady paused, "I'm not afraid of this, as long as you can be an official in the court, there will naturally be a way to ...... then" The old lady didn't finish speaking. The treasure chest hurriedly came in and said that the offerings in the ancestral hall were ready, and the worship could begin at the end of the unitary time.
"We also brought some offerings, this time we want to personally offer to the ancestors, and ask the ancestors to bless our Jiao Niang in the palace, and Rong Xi Lu Shi is successful." Mrs. Jiang asked Mama Zhu and Jin Yuan to carry the food box and follow the treasure chest to the ancestral hall.
"Good. Yongxi has a heart, the ancestors will definitely bless it, Rong Xi married Yan'er, who has the life of a concubine, and in our generation, we can finally realize the last wish of our ancestors......" The old lady wiped her eyes with embarrassment.
"Old lady, let's go now! It also takes some effort to get to the ancestral hall. Luo Yan was afraid that the old lady would become more and more excited the more she talked, so she hurriedly opened up the topic. What kind of bullshit concubine's life, Luo Yan doesn't believe this.
Yan Mama hurriedly took the cloak of the raccoon dog collar and helped the old lady put it on, and everyone surrounded the old lady out of the Cui Yuan.
"Old lady, do you want to call a small sedan chair to come over?" Mama Yan asked softly with a wind lantern. The sunset was gone, the night was up, and a cold wind swirled in the courtyard of Rongfu.
"No, you don't! I haven't walked around for a long time, and this time I walk, but also to do my best to my ancestors. The old lady straightened her waist and grabbed Luo Yan's hand tighter.
Luo Yan looked at Rong Xi, and Rong Xi gave her a warm smile......
The ancestral hall is on the side of the Rong family meeting hall, which enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of the Rong family. As soon as Luo Yan and the others arrived at the ancestral hall, Rong Jue and Mrs. Cheng arrived at the Yonglu Building.
Luo Yan politely greeted Mrs. Cheng and Rong Yonglu, Mrs. Cheng nodded, Rong Yonglu didn't say much, and his face was not sad or happy.
"Second sister-in-law, Mei Niang is about to give birth, right?" Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Cheng with concern. The old lady just mentioned that Mrs. Cheng went to Rong Meiniang's house in Beijing to accompany Mei Niang to give birth, and she rushed back early yesterday morning to celebrate the Winter Festival.
Mrs. Jiang knew that Rong Liniang also entered the palace with Rong Jiaoniang, and suddenly felt that she seemed to be closer to Mrs. Cheng.
"I haven't given birth yet, and it's only been a few days. Ming'er, I still have to go to the capital. Mrs. Cheng said flatly. Rong Liniang was able to enter the palace beyond her expectations, and when she heard the letter, she hurried back, but she didn't expect Rong Liniang to leave the Rong Mansion one step ahead of her......
"The eldest lord and the eldest lady have arrived!" The little maid at the door reported nonoly.
Mrs. Wu and Luo Chan walked in slowly, and Rong Yongfu followed behind them with heavy steps.
Mrs. Cheng picked at the corners of her narrow eyes and greeted her, "The eldest brother and the eldest wife came just in time, Rongrui and Yonglu and I have already taken care of it for you, you and the eldest brother can relax." ”
"Really?" Luo Chanfeng's eyes flashed, and her listless face became angry.
Mrs. Cheng glanced at Luo Chan, "I'll talk to your parents-in-law!" ”
Luo Chan didn't refute, but her expression was irrepressible joy. Luo Yan saw that Luo Chan's body had lost weight again, and her face was also blushing......
