Rong Zheng thought about the connivance that Ma had given her before, and it shouldn't be difficult to ask her for two more people in the room, so after thinking about it, she went to the upper room.

Rong Jiang is out. Ma sat in the warm pavilion and taught Rong Sheng to tie flowers.

Rong Zheng walked in and said with a smile: "My sister is so young, why does my wife want her to learn to do needlework?" ”

Ma said: "She's so naughty, she can't do it if she doesn't find something to do." Besides, the needlework of the girl's family is the first priority. ”

Rong Zheng smiled and said yes, but Ma never taught her these words.

Ma asked Rong Zheng to sit on the kang, and grabbed a handful of Hetian dates for her.

Rong Zheng looked at his sister's patient appearance and said with a smile: "Why don't my sister follow me to learn how to draw patterns in the future?" ”

Rong Sheng liked it very much, and was about to agree, but Ma Shi rushed before and said: "How can you bother you, she is just a child, let's just let her be by my side." It is enough to have a nurse and a maid to teach you. ”

Rong Zheng saw a trace of disgust flashing in her stepmother's eyes, and sneered in her heart, for fear that she would take Rong Sheng so badly and protect her so tightly. She originally wanted to get along with her sister, but now that she saw this little bit of enthusiasm, she cooled down, and she didn't mention it anymore, she didn't want to circle with Ma too much, and explained her intention.

Ma didn't know what the third lady had planned, she didn't ask more, and she didn't want to embarrass Rong Zheng, so she agreed, and said, "When you are older, you should have two more people around you." If you want to buy something, help spread a word or something, it's also convenient to have two small guys. ”

Rong Zheng knew that his stepmother smiled happily and thanked Ma.

She wanted to discuss with Xiao Wang's family and see what other positions were vacant. When I came back, I saw Zisu and Ziying talking with Siqin.

Rong Zheng secretly thought, didn't Du Hong go back to Du's house, why did his people come here again?

As soon as she stepped into the threshold, Si Qin hurried to salute Rong Zheng, and said with a smile: "Our master asked the slave to come over and send something to the third lady." ”

Rong Zheng glanced at it, and the so-called thing was the small black wooden box on the table. She secretly said, when did she get close to Du Hong to this point? Nodding with a smile, he asked more: "Do I have it alone, or do I have it elsewhere?" ”

Si Qin replied, "Every young lady has it." ”

Rong Zheng was relieved at this time. gave Siqin a pair of silver buns, and asked Du Mu again. Siqin has questions and answers, and is very alert. Rong Zheng asked Ziying to talk to Siqin and drink tea again, and turned around and went to the warm pavilion.

"When will the nurse come back?"

Zi Su replied with a smile: "I'll be back tomorrow, does Miss miss her?" ”

Rong Zheng said: "I have something to discuss with her. ”

Si Qin drank a cup of tea and took his leave. Ziying brought the small box in. put it on the kang and lifted the copper buckle to let Rong Zheng see it for himself. Rong Zheng paused before opening the lid.

But I saw that most of the boxes of things in it were tied up in different categories, neatly stacked, and there was no mess. The first thing that catches your eye is a string of eighteen bracelets carved from apricot kernels, which are very delicate in workmanship, unlike those vulgar things that are generally circulated on the market. Rong Zheng picked it up and looked at it twice.

Ziying said with a smile: "This Du Ye has a heart, and the bracelet is also good-looking." ”

Rong Zheng raised his eyebrows, and then stuffed the bracelet into Ziying's hand: "If you like it, you can wear it." ”

Panicked, Ziying hurriedly put the bracelet back in the box, and hurriedly said: "Miss, isn't this a slave maid, what Du Ye gave you, how can the slave maid ask for it." With that, he stepped back.

Rong Zheng didn't expect her reaction to be so big, and said: "I saw that you really like it, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." You still don't want it? ”

Shisu smiled: "She's all out." Miss, you're scaring her. ”

Rong Zheng pouted and said, "I'm too bold." She continued to look at the contents of the box, in addition to the bracelet, there was also a small bamboo basket, the flower basket was very light, but the size of a palm, suitable for playing on the table. Porcelain dolls, noodle figures, small embroidered sachets, and a box of incense. Two blank fans and two spindles of orchid ink. Although it is not a very precious thing, it is better than the word "skillful", and only Du Hong has such a mind. is indeed to please the young lady who does not worry about food and clothing. Rong Zheng frowned and thought, if Du Hong's mind can be used elsewhere, is he still afraid that it will not work?

She found an envelope at the bottom, and knew that it was a letter addressed to her, so she took out the letter, and did not take any of the contents of the box, and let Shiso put it away.

The perilla was opened, and Rong Zheng opened the letter, and there was a bamboo blue flower note inside, which was written in the pavilion body. There was nothing else, only an old poem on it.

Rong Zheng glanced at it quickly, but saw that it was a poem in Han Yuefu.

"In the past, the spring grass was green, and now it is still snowy. Who knows that lovesickness is old, and the temples are white. ”

It's just four sentences, and the implication couldn't be more obvious. Rong Zheng looked at the red ears behind him, and couldn't help but say: What a shameless thing, it's only been a few days, why is it from spring to winter? Why do you add gray hair to your sideburns? Her hands trembled slightly, and she felt that the thin piece of paper was like a flame. She hurriedly shouted: "Shiso! ”

Zi Su was talking to Zi Ying under the porch, and when she heard Rong Zheng calling her, she hurriedly agreed and walked in.

Rong Zheng repacked the bamboo-blue paper in the envelope and said to Zisu, "You give this to Siqin." ”

Shiso was secretly shocked, why did the eldest lady write a reply so quickly? But he looked at Rong Zheng's face with some displeasure, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. I chuckled in my heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good. She took the letter and went to Siqin.

On this day, Du Hong and his mother came to Rong's house to visit the door, and he brought all the small things that Rong Xiao asked him to buy, he was a good person, except for Rong Zheng and Rong Xiao were carefully selected, and the rest of the young ladies He gave a gift to the past, showing a little affection.

Du's mother was talking at length with Du Shi about housework in the room, and Du Hong had already quit and went to find his eldest cousin.

Rong Kai is only 11 years old this year and was born to Du. Because the second room is thin and there are only two daughters, Rong Yu likes this son very much, and takes it with him wherever he goes. Although Rong Kai is young, he has seen a lot with his father, and he is seven or eight points like his father, and he drinks five and six everywhere he goes. Later, one of Rong Yu's concubines added a son named Rong Zi, who was born in the same year as Rong Sheng. I just started to study in the school.

Rong Kai invited a few friends in the city to get together for a drink, Du Hong passed, and Rong Kai hurriedly got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Cousin Du is here." ”

Du Hong glanced at the scene in front of him and said, "You also drink on any day, don't be afraid of your uncle saying things." ”

Rong Kai said: "My father knows, no, he didn't say anything. Besides, two glasses of wine won't make a difference. Our family is not an official, are we still afraid that people will not be able to impeach? ”

Du Hong's brows furrowed even tighter, his uncle did not enter the official ranks, but the eldest and second masters of the Rong family are all people in the officialdom, especially the eldest lord of the Rong family is now in command of affairs, aren't you afraid that people with a heart will make a fuss about officials, and the above will blame it, and if you are not careful, you will say that the housekeeper of the Rong family is not strict, and the crime can be big or small. Rong Kai is still young and ignorant, so his uncle is also a fool.

Rong Kai pulled Du Hong to drink two glasses of wine, and there was a storyteller below, and the scene was very lively. Du Hong was originally too strong to drink, and he said he was dizzy after two glasses. Later, he left the table under the pretext that it was convenient.

The garden of the third bedroom of the Rong family and the garden of the second bedroom are connected, and Du Hong stood in the quiet place at the base of the wall for a while before it was slightly better.

He glanced at the other side of the wall, thinking that he didn't know what Rong Zheng was doing at the moment, she received such a box of things, but he wasted the boss's strength to get it from everywhere, and he didn't ask for anything else, just to like Rong Zheng in his heart and give him a smile.

"Master, you can't find it when you look around, so you're here!"

Du Hong turned his head to look when he heard the sound, but saw that it was Si Qin coming.
