The weather was as cold as a day, and the first snow ushered in on the tenth day of October.

After entering the winter moon, it snowed twice.

Du Shi and Hui Qiu pulled Rong Zheng to look at the things piled up in the treasury with red ribbons, these were all dowries for Rong Zheng.

Du Shi pointed to a few rolls of leather and said, "Yellow sheep, silver rat, gray squirrel, sable, green fox two rolls each." See for yourself that you have a number. ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "I'm just afraid to move all the good things out of our shop." ”

Du Shi said: "We can still get these skins out of our family. You have to spend some money to add makeup. ”

In addition to these leathers, the others are silk and satin, brocade, silk, etc. The Rong family opened their own silk and satin village, and these high-quality fabrics could be easily obtained.

"In addition to these cloths, I have cut you twenty-four sets of clothes. The names are all on the list, do you want to look at them again? ”

Rong Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't look at it for the time being." ”

The three of them looked at other dowries, and Rong Zheng probably had a number in his heart. She asked Shisu to put the list away carefully. In addition to these things that can be seen and touched, the rest is the fields and shops. At the end of the year, she might be able to go and see the one in the capital, but the one in Yangzhou had to be rented out first. She doesn't need to take care of the two granges, and she can collect her own rent every year.

Farewell Yonggui and Ziying brought the baby to the house, and Rong Zheng warmly entertained them.

Rong Zheng glanced at the baby in the swaddling clothes and said with a smile: "It's only a hundred days, right?" ”

Ziying nodded and said, "Yes." ”

When Rong Zheng saw it, he wanted to hug it, Ziying carefully handed it to Rong Zheng, and Rong Zheng took it familiarly. Looking at the white and chubby little guy, his eyebrows and eyes looked like Ziying, and Rong Zheng praised the child for his good looks.

Ziying's mother-in-law smiled brighter than a chrysanthemum, and Rong Zheng could see that Ziying's mother-in-law was very satisfied with Ziying.

The first time I saw the baby, Rong Zheng inevitably gave a meeting gift. I gave a gold lock plate, two pairs of small shoes, and two sets of small clothes. A jade plaque was also given.

Ziying hurriedly thanked him.

Rong Zheng said to her: "You can bring up the child with peace of mind, and then come in to help me when you can leave." Now the few people on hand can still use it for the time being. There's no need to rush. ”

Ziying smiled and admitted: "Miss is worried, if Miss needs anything in the future, she will order the slave to come." ”

Rong Zheng watched Ziying's happy life, which was greatly improved compared to the previous life. Peace of mind.

Other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law came to the house, one is to bring the child to show Rong Zheng, and the other is to add makeup to Rong Zheng. Ziying made a double-sided embroidered screen and sent it in, and put it in the flower hall. The embroidery is splendid flowers, very lively and rich.

"This embroidered screen has taken a lot of your thoughts, right?"

Ziying smiled and said, "It's okay." After the manuscript was written, it took two months to complete it. His father also said that it was cheesy, and he was afraid that the young lady would not like it. The slave maid thought that adding a dowry would require these magnificent appearances. ”

Rong Zheng said approvingly: "It's hard for you." It's not bad to be a shopkeeper. I am also glad that you have lived a good life. ”

Immediately afterwards, the Bai family and the Chang family came in to see Rong Zheng and gave Eli Lilly to add makeup. The Bai family and the Chang family are both Zhuang households, and they can't take out anything particularly delicate, but they are all mindful, Rong Zheng happily took it, left them to drink tea, and rewarded each of them with a ruler.

It is now the twelfth month of winter, and people close to the Rong family have come to add boxes to Rong Zheng one after another. Fourteen this day. Rong Jiang finally rushed back from Anyang, and no matter how busy his daughter was getting married, he should take a trip back. Otherwise, when it comes to the worship hall, it is impossible to face two empty chairs.

My father was very happy to come back to Rong Zheng, and enthusiastically offered tea to Rong Jiang, sat down on the embroidery pier in front of him, and said, "I thought my father would come back at fifteen." ”

"I should have come back a long time ago, but I have a lot going on right now." Rong Jiang looked at his daughter, Rong Zheng's complexion has been good for most of the past six months, he has grown taller, and he is not as thin as before. Seeing the joy in his eyes and heart, he secretly said that this marriage was really paired.

Rong Jiang handed a list to Rong Zheng and said, "The two families above are what I recommend to you to manage the two Zhuangzi." They are also rushing to Bianliang, but they don't know if they can come before seventeen. If it's a few days late, I'll ask them to go directly to Mu's house to find you. When the time comes, you can ask them if you have anything to say. ”

Rong Zheng solemnly accepted the list. Rong Jiang said again: "In the past, you said that you liked the wind in my study, but now I will give it to you." ”

Seeing that his father was so generous, Rong Zheng said with joy on his face: "Thank you Daddy!" ”

"Silly girl, it looks like you really like it. You take it with you. ”

This piano is said to have been stroked by the mother. The previous life finally came into the hands of Rong Sheng. In this life, she finally asked for it, and she had no regrets in her heart.

The father and daughter had a heart-to-heart talk, and Rong Jiang was worried about his son, so he got up and went to Huiqiu's room.

Rong Gui, who has been eight months old, has just learned to climb, and he can't leave anyone around him for a moment. The maid and nurse who served in front of her had to make up her mind all the time, for fear that she would bump Rong Gui into it if she was not careful.

Rong Gui was only a few days old when Rong Jiang left, and he was shocked when he saw such a big son, and he stretched out his hand to hug his son. Rong Gui didn't recognize him, so he turned around and went elsewhere, not wanting his father to touch him at all.

Rong Jiang accompanied him for a while, and Huiqiu held his son in his arms a little helplessly and handed it over to Rong Jiang. As soon as Rong Jiang hugged Rong Gui, Rong Gui twisted his body to go down.

Rong Jiang was so tired that he sweated, and said repeatedly: "This kid has a lot of strength. ”

Huiqiu apologized: "Master, let's hand it over to the slave." ”

Rong Jiang had no choice but to return his son to Huiqiu.

Huiqiu asked the nurse to carry the child down.

Rong Jiang was very relieved to see that everything was complete at home: "I have worked hard for you in the half a year that I have been away from home." ”

Huiqiu said modestly: "With the help of the third wife, the third lady can still help take care of one or two, but fortunately, nothing happened." It was barely covered up. ”

Rong Jiang changed into his homely clothes and listened to Huiqiu talk about family matters. Then Rong Jiang closed his eyes and rested for a while, and when it was time to set the province in the evening, Rong Sheng showed his face.

She pursed her lips, saluted Rong Jiang mumu, and then sat in the corner like a wood, without any sense of zài. Seeing his little daughter like this, Rong Jiang shook his head helplessly, and said to Rong Sheng: "Sister Sheng, you are not young anymore." Follow Aunt Hui well, and follow your third aunt to learn how to behave in the world. ”

Rong Sheng had only one thought in her heart, she was going to wait for her mother to come back. In the past six months, she has wanted to secretly go to the plum blossom nunnery to find her mother several times. But the maids around her refused to take her, and she didn't dare to go out alone.

"Daddy, can my mother come back? When will I see her? After thinking about it for a long time, Rong Sheng finally opened his mouth.

When Rong Jiang heard Rong Sheng mention Ma's, his face was instantly unhappy. said coldly: "I just told you, didn't you hear?" I tell you to follow your aunt and live with your aunt. Don't mention your mother again! ”

Rong Sheng has always been afraid and afraid of this father, but now when he sees his father so angry, his face has changed color in fright, and he doesn't dare to say anything wronged.

When he went to bed, Huiqiu said to Rong Jiang by the pillow: "Fifth Miss is distressed like this, and the life of a child without a mother is miserable. Or maybe the old man let her meet his wife. ”

"You intercede for her too?"

Huiqiu said: "It's not good for Fifth Miss to keep everything in her heart like this. The master let her see it once, and let her get her wish. ”

Rong Jiang understood Huiqiu's thoughts, and only said, "Let's talk about it in a few days." She also had to know what ugly things her mother had done. Why was it punished. ”

On the fifteenth day, the Qi family came, and the two aunts, the eldest cousin and Yunxia came.

Second Mrs. Shen's expression was indifferent, and she was awkward when she saw Du Shi, but the third Mrs. Ren and Du Shi had endless words.

The eldest cousin-in-law handed the list of old lady Lu's makeup to Rong Zheng, Rong Zheng glanced at it, and saw that most of them were jewelry, as well as two calligraphy and paintings, so she asked Zi Su to accept it. Here, invite the eldest cousin and Yunxia to go to the flower hall for tea.

Rong Zheng personally poured two bowls, first to Wu, and then to Yunxia.

Wu smiled: "The old lady said that she would come to see you off that day." The old lady really favored you from beginning to end. Look at how many treasures the old lady treasured on that list, this is the first time we have seen each other. ”

Yun Xia also said: "The sister-in-law is the eldest granddaughter-in-law and has never seen it, and we have never seen it as granddaughters." To be honest, I only have a red eye. ”

Seeing the sister-in-law say this, Rong Zheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay." In the end, it's grandma's heart, don't squeeze me. In the future, when the eldest cousin-in-law marries a daughter-in-law and marries a daughter, I will definitely have to give a generous gift, and when the third sister gets married, she must also add a thick makeup. ”

Yun Xia smiled and Wu said, "Sister-in-law, look at her frivolous appearance, it's a shame that the old lady loves her so much." ”

The two teased once. Rong Zheng laughed in front of him, very decent.

Wu nodded and said, "People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and I see that you look good." It's not like when I was going to marry your big brother, and I was nervous for months. ”

Rong Zheng said truthfully: "I was also nervous before, but when I got to the present, I seemed to feel something." ”

Yun Xia sneered: "What are you worried about marrying someone who thinks Zhilan Yushu is like that." ”

The three of them talked for a while, and then said that they were going to the room. Wu walked in front, talking to his maid, muttering. Yun Xia and Rong Zheng held hands and deliberately fell a distance.

"On the first day of junior high school, my family received a letter from my fifth brother from Jiangxi, and he also wrote me a separate one. The letter also asked about you. If he knows that you are going to get married soon, he doesn't know how he feels. ”

Rong Zheng was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't have a brother or sister." The mother went early again, and then the stepmother came in the door. Added a half-sister. You all know what kind of person your stepmother is. There is a difference of several years with his half-sister, and he has never been able to play anywhere. On the contrary, I enjoyed the affection between brothers and sisters at my grandfather's house. You treat me well, I understand in my heart, and I understand that the fifth brother treats me well. In my opinion, the fifth brother treats me the same as you treat me. ”

Yun Xia suddenly smiled and said, "But the fifth brother doesn't think like this when he treats you." Well, what's the point of saying that now? You will live happily in the future, and the fifth brother will also be at ease. ”

Neither sister spoke again along the way.

As for the upper room, Du Shi is here to accompany him. Mrs. Ren was still joking with Du, but Mrs. Shen seemed to be left aside. Huiqiu was born as a maid, and the aunt who was later raised, where did she dare to accompany these serious wives and grandmothers. Only watched Rong Gui in the compartment, or ordered the maids and servants to do things.

Second Mrs. Shen looked at Rong Zheng and nodded slightly, but she didn't say anything. After a while, Du Mu actually came.

Mother Du came with two Lilly, smiled and congratulated Rong Zheng: "Miss Rong San is overjoyed." ”

Rong Zheng nodded with a smile and thanked him. Ordered someone to show Du Mu tea and let the maid accompany her.

Du's mother naturally recognized Mrs. Shen, so she talked to Mrs. Shen.

"Who are the Quanfu people invited?"

Mrs. Shen was at a loss, so she had to look at Du Shi. Du Shi hurriedly smiled: "I invited Mrs. Li to be a Quanfu person." ”

Second Mrs. Shen was surprised: "Didn't Mrs. Li be a matchmaker before, why did you invite her to be a Quanfu person again?" ”

Du Shi smiled: "It's what our second master means." ”

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she didn't speak, and muttered in her heart, she had also contributed to this marriage before, if it weren't for the kind words she said in front of the princess, would the palace be able to look down on Rong Zheng? She can't be a matchmaker, so she should be asked to be a Quanfu person, why hasn't she benefited at all.

Du's mother and Mrs. Shen talked enthusiastically about family life, and soon talked about Du Hong. Although Du Hong won the first case during the hospital examination, his lifelong events have been delayed, either because people look down on their family, or because they dislike the woman's family.

Mother Du's intention was already obvious, and she said directly to the second Mrs. Shen: "The second wife of the Qi family knows what suitable young lady is, remember to help pull a line for our brother Hong, after the matter is completed, Xie Wenjiu will definitely be indispensable to you." ”

Mrs. Shen's eyes are all rich and noble families, the Du family is now ruined, and she used to be attached to the Rong family, how can she look at it, but the words on the scene can be said, and she smiled after listening to it: "Okay, the reputation of the head of the case is loud enough." I'll keep an eye on it for you, but what are the requirements for Mrs. Du to choose a daughter-in-law? ”

Du Mu smiled: "Let's tell the truth to the second Mrs. Qi, our second wife knows about it, so she wants to find a wife for Brother Hong who can help him, so those women in the poor family don't think about it." The second is that it would be better if it was a concubine. Girl, she should be thoughtful, gentle, obedient and sensible. ”

Mrs. Shen listened, and said in her heart, no wonder the Du family's brother has not yet decided.

After Du Mu finished saying these conditions, her eyes deliberately glanced at Rong Zheng, and Rong Zheng also glanced at her. Du Mu smiled slightly, and said in her heart that these conditions Rong Zheng is indeed a personal choice, but it is a pity that the Rong family looks down on their Du family. It turned out that he was kept to be a royal prince. (To be continued.) )
