Chapter 209: Closure of the Garden
Rong Jue has been crooked on the bed since he returned to Yonglu Building, looking sleepy during the day, and frantically tossing Meng Lingju at night...... Every time Rong Jue bites and vents on Meng Lingju's body, Meng Lingju holds back tears and flows into his stomach. How could she have thought that Ruyi Langjun, who wanted to marry, was such a beast in the dark night!
The two little guys carried Rong Jue to Suxi Hall, and the silver hairpin carried Rong Jue's baggage and followed closely behind him. Meng Lingju looked at Rong Jue's figure disappearing behind the dead branches, and his eyes couldn't help but be damp.
"Miss, let's go back quickly, it's so windy today." Shui Lian hurriedly went upstairs with Meng Lingju in her arms, and suddenly heard the stairs behind her rattling, and Rong Yonglu came back with a black face.
"Father-in-law."
"Hmm!" Rong Yonglu did not stop, passed in front of Meng Lingju, and went straight to Mrs. Cheng's room. The door slammed shut, and Mrs. Cheng's surprised voice came from the room, and she couldn't help but whisper again.
Meng Lingju knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, Rong Yonglu came back with a pillar of incense, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the door of Rongfu, and the holy decree had arrived.
"Ahh Master, what will the emperor do with you? Mrs. Cheng was crying and panicked for a while.
"How would I know! This time, Zhu Duwei is desperate to knock me. There is no one in the court to help me speak, Mei Niang's public announcement is sick at home, if Li Niang's father-in-law Kong Shilang can help speak, it will not be until now, I don't even know what the emperor is thinking! My heart ......," Rong Yonglu sighed.
"The Kong family doesn't know how to lift, Liniang is so good, they will quit the marriage!" When Mrs. Cheng thought of this, she panicked.
"Don't be verbose, let's hurry up and take the order!" Rong Yonglu took the lead downstairs, and Mrs. Cheng trotted to follow while putting on her clothes. "Ling Ju, go and ask Rong Jue to receive the holy decree together." Mrs. Cheng asked Mama Qu to call Rong Liniang again......
The people in the second room of the Rong family knelt on the ground under the wall of the shadow wall of the Rong Mansion, and in the sound of the autumn wind, Mrs. Cheng couldn't hear what the eunuch said. Until the herald Tailin shouted, "...... Dismissal and investigation! …… The Yonglu Garden was sealed, and when the Criminal Department checked it clearly, I asked the emperor to order the park to be reopened! ”
Mrs. Cheng fainted on the spot. "Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law. Meng Lingju helped Mrs. Cheng and kept calling. Mama Qu hurriedly pinched Mrs. Cheng's people, and it took a long time for Mrs. Cheng to relax.
"Sir! What can I do? Mrs. Cheng watched the yacha close the door of Yonglu Building and put a seal in black and white, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Rong Yonglu sat on the ground decadently. The mouth kept repeating: "Dismissal and investigation!" Dismissal and investigation! ”
Rong Jue leaned against the shadow wall, as if he hadn't woken up. Rong Liniang walked to Mrs. Cheng's side, her cold eyes were even clearer, "Mother, I want to enter the palace." ”
"My father-in-law has now been dismissed. My sister has become the daughter of a criminal minister, how can she enter the palace to wait for the emperor? Meng Lingju looked at Rong Liniang, not knowing what she meant.
"I want to replace Jiao Niang into the palace!" Rong Liniang got up and didn't pat the dust on her skirt, and walked straight towards the dove tower.
Mrs. Cheng looked at Rong Liniang's back in a daze, "This kid wants to save our family!" ”
"But this is a crime of deception!" Meng Lingju's eyes showed horror.
"Shut up!" Mrs. Cheng scolded, and Mama Qu hurriedly said: "It's windy, this is not the place to talk, hurry up and think of a way, where to settle down!" ”
Mrs. Cheng gave Meng Lingju a blank look and asked the slaves and maids to help Rong Yonglu and Rong Jue go to Cuiyuan first. "Let's go, go to Cuiyuan and find the old lady."
Before Mrs. Cheng and her entourage arrived at Cuiyuan, Mrs. Rong already knew that the emperor had decreed that Rong Yonglu had been condemned. Of course, the old lady also knew that Rong Jue was deprived of the qualification for the autumn exam. "How good is that!" The old lady's heart was beating faster in a hurry, and her hands trembled unconsciously.
Mama Yan comforted: "Don't worry, old lady, this must be a misunderstanding!" The second master has been an official for many years, and he will definitely pass ......"
As she was talking, Mama Qu helped Mrs. Cheng open the curtain and entered the door, and Mrs. Cheng fell to her knees, "The daughter-in-law is not filial, and she failed to assist the old man in a smooth career." I got into trouble today, and asked the old lady to help me tide over the difficulties. ”
"Hurry up, I know everything." Mrs. Rong sighed, "Now the garden is closed." Yonglu Lou has the most slaves and maids, and it's really hard to arrange it for a while......"
Mrs. Cheng broke out in a cold sweat on her back, knowing that the old lady had always been unaccustomed to the group of slaves and maidservants in Yonglulou, so she went out to swagger. If the old lady wants to shake the might, let her! Mrs. Cheng sighed secretly, the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs! It doesn't matter what kind of face you have, you can have a place to live in the long run.
Mrs. Cheng didn't believe that a single Zhu Duwei could turn the sky upside down. If you are guilty, you have to pay attention to evidence, how could Rong Yonglu take home 100,000 taels of silver? Except for Rong Yonglu's Fenglu silver, the rest of the money in the house was carefully calculated and operated by Mrs. Cheng...... If it is really corruption and favoritism, it will not only be demoted and dismissed to investigate such a minor crime. It seems that the emperor is not fully convinced, and it is still possible to ......
Old Mrs. Rong pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Cui Yuan is not big, and the garden behind is ready to repair the garden for Rong Jue, and now there are only three north courtyards that can live in people, and the treasure chest, Jin Hai, and Yan Mama all live, and the slaves and maids of Yonglu Lou may be able to live in two or three by then."
The window on the side of Qingfangyuan has not even been pasted with clear paper so far, and it was planned to be pasted again during the winter solstice, so that it would be better to greet relatives during the New Year, but now it seems that there is no need for it. Save if you can! There can be more than 20 people living there, but there is no kitchen there, and it is empty for some time, but I am afraid that the house is damp, the smell is strong, and it is not very convenient to start the fire......"
Old Mrs. Rong said that the sorrow in her heart was even stronger. is old, old, and greedy for her son, and wants to take refuge in her! "When will this be done? Isn't there no silver to get rid of your post? ”
"The daughter-in-law doesn't know when she will be able to take care of this matter, but the daughter-in-law will definitely do her best."
"Okay, if you can't live in the slaves, do you want to send a few, or ask the Wu family's Baifuyuan if you can accept it." Mrs. Rong lowered her eyes, thinking in her heart that it was about to start winter, and she didn't have much silver in her hand, so how could it be good to have such a burden now......
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, just stay where you can!" Mrs. Cheng couldn't ask for it. hurriedly thanked the old lady and went out to settle Rong Yonglu and Rong Jue......
When Mrs. Rong saw that everyone was going out, she collapsed her face, "Mama Yan, you said that I just felt that there was hope for the future, what kind of sin did I do!" Why are my children and grandchildren getting older and getting older, but they have to rely on me......"
"Don't be sad, old lady, it's all temporary. The slave maid heard that Zhu Duwei was in the court to join the second master, and the evidence was not enough, otherwise the second master would have been arrested and sent to the criminal department to ask for the crime, and he would not have only sealed the garden of Yonglu Building, and he would not have to connect the nine clans or something......"
Old Lady Rong sighed and leaned weakly on the soft couch, "That's what I said!" I hope that Rong Xi's grandson will not be affected, and he will be able to show off his talent in high school, and he will take the Jinshi exam next year, which can be regarded as driving away the bad luck of the Rong family! ”
"The third master will definitely be able to go to high school!" Seeing the old lady looking over suspiciously, Mama Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't say that fools have foolish blessings!" The third master has been stupid for more than ten years, it must be a boundless blessing! ”
"Hmm!" Only then did Mrs. Rong feel a little more relaxed.
