After Mama Zhou finished explaining, Mama Zhou stepped back to do things.

Here Ma Shi coped with this daughter who was separated from her by a layer of belly.

"I came to you to ask you, what are your arrangements on the fifteenth day?"

Rong Zheng smiled: "I want to spend a good day with the two cousins." They don't know when they'll be able to come back. ”

Ma nodded and said, "That's right, your eldest sister has to prepare to enter the palace to be selected." If you are chosen, you will not be able to get out of the palace gate for the rest of your life. Your sisters' days are numbered. It just so happened that there was going to be a lantern in the Bianhe River, so I said why don't you take your sisters out to enjoy the lanterns. ”

Rong Zheng said: "I think so too. Since the wife has opened her mouth, it has been decided. However, I have one more request, that is, I want to invite the third lady in the palace again. ”

Ma Shi understood that Rong Zheng wanted to return the courtesy, and said with a smile: "Cheng, you plan this matter yourself." Tell me in silver. "It means that if you don't get it, I don't care how you arrange for you to come by yourself.

Rong Zheng really didn't want his stepmother to interfere, so he agreed. Here I went to Rongyun's room again and discussed with her how to invite Mu Baowen to enjoy the lantern.

Rong Yun was doing needlework alone in the house, and heard the maid announce that Rong Zheng was coming. She put down her needle and thread and got up to greet her.

Rong Zheng opened the curtain and walked in, and said with a smile: "The eldest sister is working so hard, is it not possible to give herself a dowry?" ”

Rong Yun's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "You came to make fun of me again." ”

Rong Zheng was not polite with Rong Yun, and sat on the kang. took Rong Yun's unfinished needlework and looked at it, and saw that it was a silk handkerchief, and the pattern of lotus leaves was pierced. It looks like it's going to be used in the summer.

"The eldest sister is skillful, this lotus embroidery is really beautiful. It's like growing out of a pond. ”

Rong Yun's expression was faint, he put away the needle and thread, and talked with Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng explained his intention.

"I think about the good days after tomorrow, but you haven't returned to Beijing yet, eldest sister. I invited the third lady back, so I asked her to enjoy the lanterns. We have our own boats, so let people pack them up and swim around in the Bianhe River. I can't get enough of the scenery on both sides of the strait. I thought about it, I didn't need to prepare any tables, just two delicate fruit plates. ”

Rong Yun heard her cousin say this, and knew that she had already made arrangements, so she nodded and said, "The third sister is in charge." ”

Rong Zheng looked at Rong Yun and smiled: "I don't know what day the uncle has set to start?" ”

Rong Yun said: "Seventeen. ”

Rong Zheng thought that there were two days of circling, and it seemed unlikely that the uncle's family would be left behind, but as long as the ins and outs of the situation were figured out, even if the uncle and they returned to Beijing, they would be able to plan and hover. Anyway, it's still early to be selected.

Rong Yun thought for a while and said, "Since it's the third lady who went back to the palace, I'll also give some of the silver." So saying, he told the maid to bring the money. Rong Zheng didn't be polite to her.

Rong Yun paid ten taels of silver, Rong Zheng himself gave another ten taels, and there must be a foil for the stepmother, thinking that the banquet should be fine, and the painting boat is also complete. and there was amplification in his hands.

Rong Zheng saw that there was no one around Rong Yun, and asked quietly: "I heard that the eldest sister is going back to Beijing to prepare for the election, what are your own plans?" ”

Rong Yun blushed and said, "Third sister, what do you mean." Naturally, my family asked me to do whatever I did. Will you still disobey your parents? ”

Rong Zheng saw that Rong Yun was a little anxious, and hurriedly comforted her: "Eldest sister, don't worry. The two of us had a few words of truth in private. Everyone says that the palace is rich and noble, but I don't think the days of the palace are necessarily so easy. The eldest sister is so gentle-tempered, if only there was a foil. ”

Rong Yun hurriedly waved his hand to Rong Zheng, and said, "Third sister, don't talk nonsense." ”

Rong Zheng felt that he was a little speechless, and said with a smile: "If the eldest sister is unwilling, it is better for us to think of ideas." ”

Rong Yun was shocked, staring at Rong Zheng, as if she didn't know her.

Before the words were spoken, the maid came in to report the matter, Rong Yun took Rong Zheng's hand and said eagerly: "Don't take out those words just now, third sister, don't talk nonsense." Otherwise, we're both going to die. ”

Rong Zheng smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I know it in my heart." ”

After she returned to the room, she hurriedly prepared an invitation to Mu Baowen. Early the next morning, let Xiao Wang send him to the palace.

At the second moment of the year, Xiao Wang's family came back, and replied with a smile: "Miss, the third lady of the Wangfu family has agreed." ”

Rong Zheng liked it, and was busy discussing tomorrow's banquet with Xiao Wang and Zisu.

What kind of banquet method, who to invite, what kind of painting boat to use. Rong Zheng also figured out a clue. She commanded one by one: "Mrs. is reluctant to interfere in this matter. I had to do it myself. Fortunately, the money is enough. We also have a painting boat in our family, so go out and ask the housekeeper to find out. What kind of specifications, what kind of curtain. What kind of lamp to light will have to be discussed with the housekeeper lady. Mama Lu, I have to trouble you to ask Sister-in-law Wu to come over. ”

Mrs. Lu, who was in charge of passing the word back and forth, promised to invite the housekeeper's wife Wu Rui's family.

Here Rong Zheng said again: "When you go out to play, the most important thing is safety." The matter of the nursing home will be handed over to the Luo nursing home. I also asked Ziying to help me invite Luo Huyuan to this matter, and I personally handed over the matter to him. ”

Ziying went to pass the word.

Rong Zheng said again: "Have a good time, have a good time." Our family is still not full of clothes, and it can't be too lively, so all the silk and bamboo are exempt. I had to work the fruit saucer. Ruyi, you invite Sister-in-law Zhang on the stove, I have something to ask her. ”

Ruyi agreed to invite Sister-in-law Zhang.

Rong Zheng saw Xiao Wang's in front of him, thinking that the nurse was the old man in the house, when his mother was there, when his grandmother was there, he had experienced a lot of these things, so he told Xiao Wang's plan again.

After hearing this, Xiao Wang nodded and praised: "It's really embarrassing for Miss, she thinks so well everywhere." As long as the steward comes to discuss it, it can be decided. ”

Rong Zheng said: "I'm young, I haven't experienced anything, and I think there are a lot of omissions. When the time comes, please ask the nurse to remind me. ”

The nurse smiled: "Miss don't worry, the slaves and maids know." ”

Before, Xiao Wang's family was still a little worried, his wife didn't want to care, and it was the first time for Miss to deal with such a thing, so she was afraid that Rong Zheng would have no clue. Now I see that she is very disciplined, clear priorities, and thoughtful, and has a gratifying smile on her face.

It didn't take long for those in charge to be invited, and Rong Zheng discussed with them separately. Decide what kind of painting boat to use, what kind of curtain to hang, what style of tables and chairs to use. also asked Luo Huyuan to find a few familiar water on standby. I asked the proposed menu on the stove again. Rong Zheng watched it for a long time, deleted a few things, and added a few new ones. There are two things that I haven't done in my own kitchen.

Rong Zheng said: "Go to Qingfeng Restaurant to make a reservation." They're doing a good job. ”

Xiao Wang agreed.

The three wives in the family are reluctant to go out, but the ladies like to go out. Five young ladies, plus one Miss Mu San, a total of six people. In addition, Rong Zheng also posted to the sisters of the Qi family, and there were second cousins, third cousins and sixth cousins who could come. That's nine people. Plus the money in your own hands, it's enough.

As soon as Qiē had a charter, Rong Zheng also put some heart at ease, but he didn't forget to tell everywhere to deal with it carefully.

Ma Shi listened to Mama Zhou's report on the situation in the Rong Zheng house, she was stunned for a long time and said, "This third young lady is a little interesting. Not yet thirteen years old, he acted like a grandmother who had been in charge of the house for many years. And everywhere is thoughtful. ”

Mama Zhou hurriedly laughed and said, "Who said it wasn't." ”

Ma Shi sneered twice, and said to Rong Sheng: "If only you had your sister's ability in the future." ”

Rong Sheng is still young and doesn't know much. However, this time Rong Zheng did not entertain the people of the Ma family, which made Ma's heart very unhappy.
