Chapter 63: The Echo
A few days later, news came from the Lutang side, saying that the matter of the weir pond had been properly settled.
Bai Shengchun and the tenants have already planted lotus root and water chestnut, and after another half a month, they said that the seedlings have also been planted.
After Rong Zheng heard these news, he smiled with Xiao Wang's family: "Lutang will be a new world next year." ”
Xiao Wang nodded and said, "Miss took it herself, and she is doing better than before." ”
Rong Zheng wanted to say that Ma was willing to seriously manage her mother's dowry, and it was true that she wanted to take it for herself.
April will soon be over, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be removed at home. The Rong family leaders discussed and planned to go to Puci Temple to do a three-day water and land dojo.
Rong Jiang had no objection to his younger brother's opinion, so he said, "It should be good-looking." ”
Rong Yu smiled and said: "Our family is not short of those two money now, originally we wanted to invite the monks of Daxiangguo Temple, but I met the Li Cabinet family again. The second brother also knows that the monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple are the most likely to become inflammatory, so they don't dislike that there are no big officials in our family now. The eldest brother is not in Bianliang. ”
Rong Jiang said: "Puci Temple is not bad. Master Yuankong is a famous master in Bianliang, and it would be better if I could invite him to help us chant the scriptures. ”
Rong Yu said: "This Yuankong Master has a good reputation, but I heard that he is a little high, and most people are afraid that he will not be moved." ”
Rong Jiang smiled: "I have a way." ”
Rong Yu didn't know what his second brother was thinking, so he didn't ask much.
"I wonder if the eldest brother will come back? Do you want to hear what he means anymore? ”
Rong Jiang said: "I haven't seen anyone send a letter over, I'm afraid I won't come back." ”
Rong Yu didn't say anything, he stayed at home and kept his business, as long as he could keep his shop. The above two elder brothers are officials, and they can cover him all the way on the business road.
Ma and Du quickly discussed a charter, waiting for the day when the Dragon Boat Festival arrived.
Rong Zheng is not at home, and it is naturally not her turn to worry about these things.
She followed Zheng Niangzi to learn the piano and practiced calligraphy in her spare time. Zhang Qingchun's set of "Luoyang Law" has already been written by her. Then there is to learn needlework from a show aunt on needlework. I don't ask much about anything else.
Rong Zheng counted the time when Xiao Fu went to the capital, and said in his heart, if he was a qiē shun lì, he should also come back. Xiao Wang asked about Xiao Fulai several times. Xiao Lu also asked a few times, and if he didn't come back, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide it.
At night, it was Zisu's turn to be on duty, and Rong Zheng quietly discussed with Zisu: "Do you think Xiao Fu will encounter anything on the road?" If something happens. How should I face the nurse? ”
Zi Su smiled and was relieved: "Miss is worried that these are not of much use now, and besides, Miss must trust him when she sends him." ”
Rong Zheng said: "The two brothers of the Xiao family, Xiao Lu is still a hairy boy, which is not very reassuring. Xiao Fu is a little older after all. Be steady. Hopefully he'll come back smoothly. ”
Shiso said, "Definitely." ”
But Rong Zheng was still a little worried, and then asked about Zisu's brother.
"I haven't seen your brother for a long time, and he's on an errand in my father's study, so it's hard for me to send him. How is he doing? ”
Zi Su smiled: "Thank you Miss for your concern, brother, he is very good." ”
"You sue your brother and let him live a good life. Learn more skills, and I'll arrange other things for him during the Chinese New Year. ”
Zi Su heard that Rong Zheng promoted her brother, and she was happier than promoting herself, so she was busy kowtowing to Rong Zheng on the pillow and said, "Miss is very kind, brother, he will definitely be loyal to Miss." ”
Rong Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Just do things well." As long as he's a manufacturable material. It's definitely going to be useful. ”
The next day, Shisu ran to the outer courtyard to see Ye Lin. Tell him what Rong Zheng said.
Ye Lin was happy at first, then a little depressed, and asked, "Do you really have to wait until the Chinese New Year, there is still more than half a year." Can you please inquire where Mademoiselle has placed me? ”
Zi Su frowned and said, "Miss just said that, you come so much, how can you let me speak." Let's do a good job first. When you're fine, go and say hello to the young lady. ”
Ye Lin nodded a little blankly.
Zi Su knew her brother's temperament, so she couldn't help but persuade again: "If you are down-to-earth, you will naturally have a chance to be promoted." Miss doesn't like people with low eyes. ”
Ye Lin smiled again: "Then when you are fine, you will say a few more kind words for my brother in front of Miss." ”
Shiso didn't speak.
Ye Lin smiled: "I want to make money, make money to marry your sister-in-law." And make money to save a dowry for you. ”
"You take care of yourself first, don't let my mother and I worry about you." Shiso usually doesn't come here much, but after such a trip, it has attracted a lot of small people to raise their eyes here.
In the afternoon. Ye Lin came to this courtyard to greet Rong Zheng.
Rong Zheng saw him in the flower hall, and Ye Lin kowtowed to Rong Zheng twice in a proper manner.
Rong Zheng smiled and asked, "Father, how many words does he usually write, how many books do he read, and what kind of books do you like to read the most?" Who did my father receive in his study? ”
Ye Lin said hesitantly: "The little one and Tong Si are on an errand in the master's study together, Tong Si is the old man that the master is used to, and the little one doesn't have much chance to get to the front." It's just a matter of sprinkling and tidying up. "The subtext is that I'm not familiar with other things, so you can ask Tong Si to go.
Rong Zheng smiled gently: "I see." So he brought tea.
Ye Lin's heart was like a drum, and he came down from the flower hall nervously. Zi Su heard the movement in the flower hall in the ear room, and was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and wondered why her brother was so unsuccessful. How will Miss use him in the future?
When Zisu was serving in front of Rong Zheng, he kept his head down, asking what to say, and he couldn't see the liveliness and cheerfulness on weekdays.
Rong Zheng knew Zisu's thoughts, but he secretly thought to himself, Zisu is a clever person, steady and troublesome, how can he give birth to a brother who is a fellow mother, but not as good as her. Originally, I wanted Ye Lin to introduce him to the shop to learn something when the shopkeepers came back to reconcile the accounts at the end of the year, so I was afraid that it would be embarrassing.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the fifth month, after Rong Zheng came back from the study. Ruyi came up and said, "Miss, Xiao Fu is back." ”
The big stone hanging in Rong Zheng's heart finally fell to the ground, and he hurriedly said, "Where is he?" Hurry up and call him to me. ”
Ruyi went to pass the word.
The little maid brought the copper basin, Rong Zheng cleaned his face, and did not change his clothes, so he went to the flower hall to wait for Xiao Fu.
She sent all the maids out and let them wait outside.
When Xiao Fu came in, seeing the formation, he couldn't help but feel a little weak, so he had to go in and salute Rong Zheng.
I haven't seen him for two months, Rong Zheng saw that he had a lot of tan, and he was in good spirits.
"Have you seen your mother?"
Xiao Fu said truthfully: "I happened to meet just now." ”
Rong Zheng smiled and said: "It's okay, her old man has been asking you all these days, and I can't hide it anymore, but fortunately, you finally came back." (To be continued.) )
