Two days later, Ma went to discuss with Rongjiang.

"Master, I'm afraid that Sister Zheng'er's family affairs will have to be decided by you personally."

Rong Jiang raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked: "These days, I have heard in a trance that several families have sent matchmakers to the door to propose marriage, and I don't have the time to ask." It's just so good that you and I have a good talk. ”

Ma handed over a famous post, on which three families were written, among which the Du family was impressively listed.

Rong Jiang took a closer look, and Ma introduced in front of him: "The first family is the Zhang family in Xinzheng, I heard that their family is in the cotton business, and the family has a lot of capital. Now the children in the family are all studying, and the family style is good. is talking about the second son of the Zhang family, who just turned fourteen years old this year. The second is the Luo family outside the Chenqiao Gate, and the seventh master of their family is now the prefect of Nanjing. ”

Rong Jiang asked, "Which son of the Luo family are you talking about?" ”

Ma Shi smiled: "It's the eleventh son." I heard that he is seventeen years old this year, slightly two years older, but it is also suitable. Then there is the Du family, what is the situation of the Du family, the master is only afraid that he is more familiar than the concubine, so he won't say much. ”

Although Rong Jiang admires Du Hong, he has no idea of marrying his daughter to the Du family at this moment, first, the Du family has a thin background, only a widowed mother, and there is nothing to help, and secondly, Du Hong has no fame, and he doesn't know what to do in the future. He thought for a moment and said, "I see." ”

Ma didn't say much.

When he turned around, Rongjiang sent someone to find out the details of the eleventh son of the Luo family.

A day later, Nagarjuna came back and forth.

"Luo Shiyi Gongzi is the young master in the fourth room of the Luo family, and I heard that he grew up in the fourth wife's room of Luo."

Rong Jiang frowned and said, "Isn't it from the grandson?" ”

Nagarjuna said truthfully: "I heard that it was carried by the maid's aunt. My aunt left early, and Mrs. Luo Si brought him up with her own hands. ”

Rong Jiang's brows were even more twisted together, and it could be seen that he was not satisfied with the Luo family either. The Zhang family is a businessman, and the businessman values profit over righteousness, and he doesn't want his daughter to marry a businesswoman again, so he denies the Zhang family first. What is the situation of the Luo family now, he is even more dissatisfied, does he really want to marry his daughter to the Du family?

Turning around, Rong Jiang and Ma discussed: "Sister Zheng'er's family affairs still have to be bothered to help take a look, and if there is a suitable one, you will sue me." ”

Ma was a little surprised. asked: "Could it be that the old man looks down on those three families?" ”

"I always feel that Sister Zheng has been wronged, she is not too old, she can't be rashly settled, let's take a look."

Ma responded absentmindedly. Then he smiled and said: "The third lady and Brother Hong also grew up, and the concubine thought that the master had won the Du family." Looks ......"

Rong Jiang pondered for a moment before saying, "The old lady of the Qi family opened her mouth and said that she would personally inquire about Sister Zheng'er's family affairs. I told her half of it before, and the old lady made it clear that she didn't like it. ”

Not to mention his mother-in-law, even he is not really willing to the Du family.

Hear here. Ma knew that the Du family was out.

In the afternoon of the next day, Du's mother came into the house to gossip with Ma, and Ma sneered: "This matter has to be discussed in the long run." ”

Du Mu showed an embarrassed look, and said after a long time: "It's true, our Brother Hong doesn't even have a reputation now, the second master must still think about it, you might as well wait for Brother Hong to win the show." ”

The matter was officially put on hold.

Du's mother stayed in the Rong family until Du Hong came back from the school, she saw her son, she was humiliated from the second room, and said to her son angrily: "You have to fight for me, I don't want to live like this again." I would like to ask the second wife to propose marriage. It just gave the Rong family a lot of face, but who knew that people didn't look down on it at all. One day I will make the Rong family regret it. ”

Du Hong didn't react for a while, and only said after a while: "Mother invited someone to propose marriage, why hasn't my son heard about it at all?" ”

"I'm the one who kept it a secret from you, for fear that you would be distracted. Now it's okay, you completely cut off this thought, and concentrate on your book. ”

Du Hong stayed there, and the third lady of the Rong family seemed to him to be just a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror. He never had the idea of marrying her, the affection between the two before. It has long sprouted in his heart, and it cannot be erased lightly. He thought that the marriage between the two was destined, but Rong Zheng's sudden estrangement, and now the Rong family refuses. It was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and he was so cold that his heart ached.

"Mother, if I become a student in the future, I will move out of the Rong family's academy."

Du Mu was stunned and hurriedly said: "It's not that step yet, and besides, you are also a nephew in the third room, can anyone still drive you away." The gentleman invited by the Rong family is a famous Confucian. There may not be such a good gentleman in the county school. Besides, Mr. Fu also has a lot of guidance for you, so don't be rash. ”

Du Hong's hand pressed the corner of the table tightly, and the nails had turned white. After a long time, he said slowly: "Mother rest assured, my son will get ahead in the future, and he will definitely earn a life for his mother to come back." ”

Du's mother had a son, and the unhappiness in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she said happily: "Good boy, if I don't love you in vain, I know that you have filial piety." Now that you can study with peace of mind, your mother will marry you a gentle, virtuous, and beautiful daughter-in-law in the future. The custody is several times better than that Rong Zheng. There are not only girls from the Rong family in the world. They look down on our family, and I don't look down on Miss Rongsan. Now it's just right! ”

Since then, Du Hong has put all his mind on his career. I happened to go to the second room study to meet Rong Zheng, and he also maintained the proper etiquette in a proper manner, and never took a step.

Soon it was May 12th. Rong Zheng changed the magenta cloud brocade gown made by Mrs. Lu and the pomegranate red skirt. The beads of the red coral beads were lying quietly in her makeup box, and she thought about it again, but she still picked up the beads and asked Ruyi to put them on her hairpin.

Ruyi cleaned up Rong Zheng and praised with a smile: "Our young lady is so good-looking today." ”

Rong Zheng said with a smile: "Mrs. made a statement, saying that she couldn't embarrass the Rong family, and it was the first time that the county lord invited me, so I naturally had to pay attention to it." She looked at the bright and colorful girl in the target mirror and smiled with satisfaction.

Dressed neatly, she took Ruyi to resign from Ma's.

When Ma Shi saw her outfit, his eyes fell on the rose bead flower on her head again, nodded and said, "I know, you must pay attention to safety when acting." ”

Rong Zheng Muran's response is.

There was already a Zhu Luncui car waiting for her outside the door. Rong Zheng took Ruyi and Mei Fen and boarded the car.

This is the first time Rong Zheng has come to Qixia Villa as a guest, and when she got out of the car, she was immediately greeted by two maids wearing onion armor.

"It's Miss Rongsan, hurry up here, please."

The maids led Rong Zheng straight to the durian orchard.

The durian orchard is a quiet courtyard, connected to the flower dock behind. At this time, it is the season of pomegranate blossoms, and more than a dozen pomegranate trees are planted in the garden. Blooming like fire. An open house was built in the northeast corner of the garden.

Under a thick pomegranate tree, there are tables and chairs made of willow. Mrs. Lu and others have already arrived.

Rong Zheng smiled and stepped forward to salute the lord of Duanhui first.

Lord Duanhui nodded with a smile and said, "Miss Rongsan is here." Because it was the person who was named by her younger brother for the banquet, she couldn't help but look at Rong Zheng a few more times.

Rong Zheng then went to greet Mrs. Lu again, and the cousins who came with her were Yunxia and Yunhong sisters. Yun Xian and Yun Huan did not come.

Yun Xia was very happy to see Rong Zheng. took her hand and said, "You don't come to our house, it's hard for me to see you." ”

Rong Zheng said truthfully: "There are some things at home that I can't leave, and besides, I have to learn the piano from Master Zheng." ”

When Yunxia heard this, she muttered and said, "Then I'll go and play with you." ”

Old Madam Lu heard it next to her, and scolded softly: "How old are they?" I only know how to play, so that the county lord can see the joke. ”

Duan Hui smiled and said kindly: "When I was as old as them, I didn't just know how to play. ”

Old Madam Lu looked at her granddaughters with a loving face, and talked to Duanhui about the Chai family.

"The third wife of the Chai family was the best friend of me. I'm not from Henan, I'm from Jiangnan, and it just so happens that Mrs. Chai San is also from Jiangnan. Gradually, I became closer to Mrs. Chai San, and I hugged the princess when she was still in swaddling clothes. also praised her with Mrs. Chai San for her good fortune, and she couldn't sleep when she should sleep. Later, she became a princess, which was really a blessing. ”

Duan Hui said with a smile: "It is said that Fushou cannot be both. The blessing of the mother concubine is there, but unfortunately the word longevity is a little worse. ”

Talking about the events of the year, it is inevitable that I am a little sad. Rong Zheng thought that today's banquet of the county lord was a good day, and he couldn't evoke too many sad memories of the county lord, so he secretly pulled the corner of Mrs. Lu's clothes. Old Madam Lu turned around and smiled at Rong Zheng. She understood her granddaughter's thoughts, so she stopped the topic and did not go any further.

Duanhui talked about the pomegranate in front of him and said with a smile: "At the beginning, these trees were planted by my father. In addition to eating the fruit that bears fruit throughout the year, you can also give it away. There are people in our mountain village who know how to take care of fruit trees, and they cook neatly. This pomegranate tastes good, too. When the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived, I also picked two and gave them to the old lady to taste. ”

Old Madam Lu hurriedly bowed and said, "Ouch." This is a blessing for my old woman. Pomegranate has many children is a good omen, and the county lord will be blessed. ”

Duan Hui smiled. She invited the daughters of the Qi family to enjoy the flowers, and she didn't prepare any other programs, and all the dramas and texts were exempted. Her eyes fell on Rong Zheng's body, and said with a smile: "Our villa is not small, why don't you ask the ladies to walk around." You don't have to be with you all the time. but he has detained you. ”

Yunxia is lively and active by nature, and she couldn't sit still for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel itchy when she heard this, so she hurriedly got up and pulled Rong Zheng to say goodbye. Old Madam Lu glanced at Yunxia, her gaze was a little compelling. Yun Xia hurriedly lowered her head.

This little daughter's attitude completely fell into Duanhui's eyes, and she nodded with a smile and said, "Old lady, let their sisters play freely." There are no people in this villa, so don't worry. ”

Only then did Mrs. Lu confess: "Don't make trouble." ”

Yun Xia whispered yes.

Duan Hui asked the big girl in front of him to accompany the three young ladies to visit the villa at will. Yun Hong raised her head to look at the pomegranate flowers on the branches, thinking that it was very good-looking, and Yun Xia pulled Rong Zheng and cooed.

"The second sister is very busy now, and she follows the second aunt and sister-in-law every day to learn from the family. I said that today, the county lord will post please, just come out for a day and rest. She said that she had a lot of things. She will be married far away in a few months, hey, there is one less sister to laugh with. ”

"Second sister, she can't joke with us, unlike the two of us who are crazy and no one dares to care."

Yun Xia still felt that Rong Zheng was more in her temper, and the two of them always had endless words in one place. However, the last time Rong Zheng went to live at home for half a month, Yun Xia faintly felt that Rong Zheng had also changed, and he was not as active as before.

"I said what's the matter with you, and said to go crazy with me. When I was grounded by my grandmother, you didn't come to see me much, and when you went back to your Rong family, you didn't want me to ......" Yunxia thought in pieces.

Rong Zheng hurriedly said: "No, no, how could I not miss you." Seriously, I'll give you a post when you go back, can you come and live in my house for a while? ”

Yun Xia smiled happily at this time.

The two only cared about talking, but they ignored Yunhong. Yun Hong pouted unhappily and said, "The two sisters ignore me. ”

Yun Xia smiled and twisted Yun Hong's face and said, "Who dares to ignore you." ”

The group walked all the way and talked all the way, and before they knew it, they were out of the durian orchard. Under the guidance of the maid, I visited a few other gardens. Rong Zheng felt that the layout of Qixia Villa was much more chic than the garden in the palace. Perhaps it is because it is not affected by regulations, and the manuscript given by the Jiangnan garden builder was invited at the beginning, so it reveals a delicate and graceful flavor everywhere.

"Is this your county lord's courtyard?"

The maid in front of him in a sauce-colored armor hurriedly replied: "Now the county lord basically lives here, and it can be regarded as another courtyard." However, it was our princess's dowry, and the prince bought nearby land for expansion. ”

Rong Zheng nodded and praised: "To be able to build such a garden, the person who designed it must be a person with hills and valleys in his chest." ”

Yun Xia sneered, feeling that this was not Rong Zheng's tone at all, and asked with a smile: "How can you see it?" ”

"One step at a time. Each has its own attractions. No matter how much living water there is, it will be a good attraction, but without it, no matter how beautiful the garden is, it will be a pool of stagnant water. ”

Yunxia doesn't understand these, but she knows how to appreciate beauty, and she also thinks that Qixia Villa is good-looking, so she won't get bored if she lives for the rest of her life.

A few people walked slowly, and after a while, they had already arrived at Tangli Study. Rong Zheng saw the branches of the pear tree sticking out of the courtyard wall, pointed and asked, "What is this place?" ”

The maid who spoke just now hurriedly said: "It's Tangli Study, where our uncle lives now." ”

"Oh!" Rong Zheng's mind naturally appeared Mu Xuan's appearance. She thought he lived in the quiet courtyard behind Puci Temple, but she didn't expect that there was also a place for him to stay. Later, he thought about it again, the county lord was his own sister, so naturally he would leave a place for his younger brother to rest, and there was nothing unusual.

Not long after they passed the Tangli study, Fu Cui hurriedly caught up, and whispered to the maid wearing the sauce-colored bijia: "Sister Su, the uncle said that he wanted to talk to Miss Rongsan for a few words. Invite Miss Rongsan to sit in the study. ”

Su Su was slightly stunned, and hurriedly relayed the words to Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask this sister to lead the way." (To be continued.) )
