Chapter 52: Calling the Shots
Rong Zheng didn't care about it before, but now he has the heart to ask about the marriage left by his mother, so he cares about it wholeheartedly. I heard that the people who would plant rice in Yuanyang had already come, so I asked people to help select some rice seeds to send to Zhuangshang.
She wanted to manage the two Zhuangzi left by her mother, she had read the account books, and felt that the two places were not small, but the things that came out of the fields every year were limited, and she intuitively thought that there was a problem with the business inside. Lutang is next to Bianliang City, and it should be managed well. If she could, she would also like to go to Tongxu to see that Zhuangzi.
Only by letting both places be managed, Rong Zheng thought, can she convince her father, and she will have more opportunities to speak. Ma also had an account book there, and she could guess that there must be something wrong with the accounts on it. Only now she was able to calm down. As long as she finds evidence and does practical things, she will ask Ma to take the initiative to hand over the account book.
So what she has to do now is to cultivate her own connections, and only when there are people under her who are willing to help her, can she make some achievements to show everyone.
There are two first-class maids in the Rong Zheng room, Zi Su and Zi Ying, two second-class maids, Ruyi and Suixin, and four little maids, the oldest of whom is no more than ten years old, and they are not in this cleanup. When it comes to what should be released at an age, Ziying is the first, and the other is free.
Ziying is the person left by the Qi family at the beginning, and she has served Rong Zheng since she was a child, and her relationship is very close. Now Ziying is the first one in the Rongzheng room, and there is no one to replace her for the time being, and for a while, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave her.
Xiao Wang showed the list to Rong Zheng, and Rong Zheng saw Ziying and Suixin's names listed. She looked at it for a while and said: "I remember that this casual servant is not our family, her family is still there, or ask the nurse to help me find her family, I will meet them and listen to what they mean." ”
Xiao Wang nodded and agreed: "It should be like this." It's just Ziying...... Miss, what do you think you should do about this? ”
Ziying is the son of the Rong family, and her father is helping to clean up a Zhuangzi below the second room. is also an honest person. Her mother used to be a pulp washing mother at her grandmother's place, but later her father became the head of the village, so he took her mother out and stopped doing the pulp washing work. Ziying has two older sisters in the family, both of whom are married. She also has two younger brothers under her, and the family is not too embarrassed.
Rong Zheng couldn't help but think of the ending of Ziying's previous life, and Ziying was finally assigned a little maid by Ma to serve in her father's study. After getting married, she never came in again, and her man has been helping her father manage the study. There was an incident before she got married. The little guy stole a jade paperweight from his father's study and sold it, and when he was discovered, he was beaten and kicked out. Since then, she has not heard from Ziying again.
It is said that Ziying did not have a good life after getting married, her husband had no ability, and she had a mother-in-law who was seriously ill in bed, so she had to do some needlework day and night to supplement the family. After her husband was expelled from the Rong family. I'm afraid that life will be harder.
Rong Zheng remembered the past, and realized more clearly that she had to find a good place for Ziying, and she couldn't let a girl who was so good fall into the quagmire.
"She's supposed to be nineteen this year, right?"
Xiao Wang nodded and said, "It's almost nineteen." ”
Rong Zheng sighed and said, "I delayed her, and I should have let her go two years earlier." ”
Xiao Wang smiled: "Where can I blame Miss, Miss is so young that she doesn't care about these things." Besides, there are Ziying and Zisu in this house, if there are no two of them, how can Zhang Luo come over. ”
That's just as well.
Rong Zheng thought about Ziying nineteen, and he really couldn't delay it any longer. I have to find a suitable person for her as soon as possible and solve her life's problems. She has to ask about this matter in person, and she can't let her stepmother match someone casually like before, and mistake Ziying for a lifetime.
"Miss, the slave is thinking, when Ziying gets married, she can still let her come in to help Miss, and then help Miss be a mother in charge. In the future, when the young lady is out of the cabinet, is it not the best of both worlds to be the companion of the young lady? ”
"Butler mother?" Rong Zheng was a little surprised. She blushed again and said, "Now I don't want to be the master of the house, and I don't need to take care of my mother." I'll ask her what she means, though. ”
Rong Zheng wholeheartedly wants to plan the future for Ziying.
In the evening, she went to visit her father again, and this time Ma and Rong Sheng were there.
Rong Sheng saw her sister and went up. He Rongzheng said with great interest: "Sister, Master Zheng is very strict, this morning the fourth sister played a wrong note, and she received a ring ruler." ”
"Ah, she's so harsh."
"yes, I'm glad I didn't go wrong. You'll have to practice well when you go back. ”
Ma smiled happily. He stroked his daughter's hair and said, "You have to try to fight for me, don't lose your father and my face." ”
Rong Jiang said: "Is this Zheng Niangzi too strict, just let them learn the piano, and don't want them to become any famous artists." That's pretty much enough. ”
Ma Shi hurriedly said: "How can it be almost enough." Since you want to learn, you have to learn well. ”
Rong Jiang knew that the Ma family was strict with Sister Sheng, so he looked at his eldest daughter again and said, "When are you going to study?" ”
Rong Zheng bowed his head and said, "Let's go back in two days." ”
Ma and Rong Sheng sat for a while and then took their leave.
Rong Zheng was concerned about his father for a few words, and then said, "Daddy, I currently have two things I want to sue you. ”
Rong Jiang hurriedly said: "You say." ”
Rong Zheng said unhurriedly: "A few days ago, I met Bai Shengchun, the head of the village on the other side of Lutang, and discussed with him, I felt that it was a pity that the twenty acres of paddy fields were in vain, and I wanted them to plant rice. But Bai Shengchun said that he didn't know how to plant, I heard that the rice in Yuanyang was planted well, so I asked people to go to Yuanyang and invite someone who knew how to plant to teach Bai Shengchun. Rice seeds have been bought here and sent down. ”
Rong Jiang used to just think that her daughter was pampered and a little pampered, but she never thought that she would think about this one day, and listened to the rear: "Your idea is not bad, if the rice really grows, there will be multiple harvests." ”
Rong Zheng said: "I don't know if it will be successful, it depends on how they manage it." There is another thing, which is the purple in my room. She used to serve her mother, and then she followed me and played with me from a young age. It's just that it's nineteen this year, and I can't delay it any longer, so I want to tell my father, so it's better to let her go. ”
Rong Jiang said: "You can discuss the matter in the inner courtyard with your mother." However, Rong Zheng attaches great importance to the people around him, which makes Rong Jiang a little surprised, and he feels that his daughter has indeed grown up, and her daughter who only quarreled with the little girl before last year and made her temperament very different at every turn. He is very satisfied with his daughter's growth.
Rong Zheng didn't want to discuss this with Ma, so he thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to my father, and my father will understand." ”
Rong Jiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sister Zheng, you have grown up." Know a little bit about the economics of general affairs. I'll talk to your mother and let you follow her in your studies. ”
Rong Zheng smiled: "Mrs. is in good hands, and I can't interfere, let's talk about it later." ”
Ma is a strong person, and he is reckless everywhere, how can he let Rong Zheng help with the housekeeper's affairs. (To be continued.) )
