After dinner, Mrs. Fang and Ma Shi accompanied Mama Wang to talk. The Rongyun sisters and others all retreated. Rong Zheng and Rong Sheng went back to their own rooms. Ma asked the nurse to take Rong Sheng back for a nap.

Mama Wang saw that the time was almost over, and said with a smile: "The old slave saw that the Rong family would train the children, and several young ladies were born well. Especially the eldest lady and the third lady are all beautiful and beautiful, and the wives are really blessed. ”

Mrs. Fang and Ma exchanged glances, and it became clear to each other that Mama Wang suddenly mentioned this because she wanted to propose marriage to the young ladies?

Mrs. Fang had to cheer up, but Ma thought in her heart that if she proposed to Rong Zheng, she was afraid that the other party would be either rich or expensive. To Rong Zheng, that girl is blessed. But the first thing she thought of was her own daughter Rong Sheng. Hey, I don't know what a good marriage is, it would be nice if I could give Sister Sheng a good family affair, but Sister Sheng is still too young. After thinking about it for a while, I listened to the gossip of Mama Wang in a trance.

"The girls in our family are all pampered. Look at the eldest lady of our family, it goes without saying that she has the title of county lord; The second lady was raised by her mother, and now the marriage has been decided. The rest is the third lady, who grew up in the mother's house since she was a child, and the mother treats her no different from the second miss. Now the Lu family in Luoyang is also set. There are also Miss Four and Miss Five, which one is not a pain in the palm of the hand. ”

Mrs. Fang took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know which family your second lady is ordering?" ”

Mama Wang smiled: "It's the nephew of Princess Yongshou." ”

Mrs. Fang smiled: "It's really a good match." ”

Mama Wang nodded and said, "Princess Yongshou is in Yunnan, and I heard that there are still two years to return to Beijing." Only when you return to Beijing will you make a big gift. ”

The royal marriage, it was not Mrs. Fang's turn to say anything, she just echoed a few sentences.

Mama Wang then asked, "I don't know if your eldest lady is more than a dozen?" ”

Mrs. Fang smiled: "It was only in time for the winter months of the old year. ”

"Yo, that's a big girl. The dowry or something has been prepared for a long time, right, I don't know if it's decided? ”

Mrs. Fang's heart jumped, her palms were slightly sweating, and she looked at Ma uneasily. Ma Shi was also a little confused, and the secret path turned out to be for Rong Yun, and there was nothing wrong with Rong Zheng. She suddenly felt relieved, and said in her stomach, I just said where that girl has such a good blessing.

Mrs. Fang looked at Mama Wang's smiling face, pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "We are preparing to return to Beijing after the Lantern Festival to prepare for the autumn draft. ”

Mama Wang suddenly brightened, and hurriedly got up to say hello to Mrs. Fang, saying, "It's strange. I see that Miss Rong is talented and beautiful, and I think I will definitely be able to choose it. Your family will be rich and prosperous in the future. ”

Mrs. Fang likes to hear such words, but today she can't help but feel a little weak. The princess sent her mother-in-law to ask these words, what the princess was planning. She didn't dare ask.

Mama Wang sat down for another cup of tea before saying goodbye. Mrs. Fang and Ma sent Mama Wang outside the courtyard gate, and asked Mama Zhou to send her to the sedan chair.

The two of them went back to the room.

Mrs. Fang's face was solemn and not very good-looking. Ma Shi became attentive, pulled Mrs. Fang and asked, "Sister-in-law, did you say that the princess wants to kiss the eldest lady?" ”

Mrs. Fang said blankly: "I didn't dare to ask, so I had to guess on this." Now it seems that I am afraid that I am going to offend the Yuwang Mansion. ”

Ma Shi hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't think about it. Sending the eldest lady to be selected is a matter that has been decided a long time ago. The princess won't blame her if she thinks about it, isn't it for a grandmother to come and find out. Everyone didn't say anything, so they had to assume that they didn't know. Do you say? ”

Mrs. Fang nodded, thinking that this was the only way to go.

It is said that Mama Wang took a sedan chair back to the palace, and immediately went to the princess's Yinhua Hall to reply.

"Niangniang, the eldest lady of their family is going to prepare for the autumn selection."

When the princess heard this, she was a little surprised, and then sneered: "Yo, I think I want to climb the high branches elsewhere." It's a pity for our brother, who is infatuated and doesn't end well. ”

Mama Wang guessed: "Are you ready to tell the truth to the third master?" ”

The princess frowned and said, "Don't ask about this." Their Rong family wants to climb the high branches, but I want to see if Miss Rong has such blessings and luck. ”

Before evening, Mama Wang came to the house to inquire about Rong Yun's matter and reached her ears.

Rong Zheng was slightly surprised, this thing was a little strange. There was no such episode at all in the previous life. Of course, she didn't go to the palace with Rong Yun to participate in any poetry meetings. In the previous life, after the Lantern Festival, the uncle's family went on the road, and they didn't come back when it was time to worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival, so they only let the housekeeper have a little sacrifice. When the Dragon Boat Festival was removed, the uncle's family did not show up. On September 19, they received a letter from the housekeeper, saying that the eldest sister had been selected and that she had been selected from the sixth grade.

It's just that although her eldest sister is talented and good-looking, she has not been very smooth in the harem. finally got pampered, and only then did he go from being a waiter to a talented person. The eldest sister is not very favored, and it has been three years since she entered the palace before she became pregnant. Later, a princess was born. It is said that the emperor didn't even look at the princess. It's a pity that the princess was blessed and died, and died of pox when she was four years old, and she didn't even have a title after her death. The emperor took pity on the eldest sister, so he brought the position to the nobleman again. Later, I heard that after the eldest sister lost her daughter, she was depressed all the time, and there was no favor, and she was weak in the palace, and she fell ill after a few tosses. It's a pity that the eldest sister died at the age of twenty-seven. After his death, the emperor remembered that he had given birth to a princess, and finally made him an honorary concubine.

When the news of the eldest sister's death came, she had just raised Sister Qi's son, and her body had not yet recovered. Only let Liao Xian help her put incense in front of the Bodhisattva and offer scriptures. Now that I think about it, I don't know if Liao Xian has done this.

The uncle's official fortune is prosperous, thanks to his talent, and it has little to do with the eldest sister's entry into the palace.

Rong Zheng thought about all the previous things, thinking that the eldest sister was pitiful, so she went at a young age. Since she can predict the future, if she doesn't reach out and pull her to prevent her from entering the palace, maybe she can get out of another different life in this life.

But on the uncle's side, where can she interfere lightly.

Rong Zheng paced around the room, puzzled.

Just as Xiao Wang came in, he said with a smile: "Miss, Mrs. asked you to go over to discuss the Lantern Festival." ”

Rong Zheng nodded, and asked again: "Does the wife still have to prepare a banquet to see off the uncle's family?" ”

Xiao Wang nodded and said, "Yes, Miss is unexpected." ”

Rong Zheng called Ziying, and the master and servant went to the Ma family's courtyard.

Ma was discussing things with Mama Zhou, and when he saw her coming, he said with a smile on his face: "The third lady is here." ”

Rong Zheng nodded. The only thing she was worried about was the future of her eldest sister, and she wondered if she wanted to inquire about whether Mama Wang came to their house on the orders of the princess or something. Or what does the princess think of the eldest sister.

At this moment, she thought of Mu Baowen, and secretly said, maybe she could find out something from her. Now is the right moment.
