Chapter 158: Congratulatory Gift

Everyone saw Mrs. Li's ceremony. The county lord of Duanhui also generously let the maid hold a red box. She asked Rong Zheng to open it to herself.

Rong Zheng opened it in front of everyone and saw a box full of Nanzhu. The beads are round and jade, and they are the size of longan. The beads catch everyone's eye.

Min smiled and flattered: "I've grown so big, it's the first time I've seen so many pearls, and all of them are good." I'm afraid it's priceless. No, I am afraid that I may not be able to buy these even if I have money. ”

Duanhui County Lord is the elder sister, and in such a scene, she naturally wants to save face for Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng said with some uneasiness: "County Lord, this gift is too precious. ”

Duan Hui didn't care, and said, "It's just a few beads, and my sister can take them to make a few flowers to wear." ”

As a grandmother, Mrs. Lu is naturally not soft, and the gift to her granddaughter is a set of opals. It's very rare and very chic. Rong Zheng knew that her grandmother kept many good things that she had never seen before.

Mrs. Ren San also carefully selected a set of ruby earrings and rings. When it came to Ma next, all the eyes of everyone present looked at her in unison. Ma's face was red and white for a while, and he originally thought that he could just send something inconspicuous to him, just perfunctory. For this reason, she also chose a beautiful box to hold the pair of black silver bracelets. After reading the congratulatory gifts of those people, everything was a hundred times better than what she had prepared. She also knew that her reputation was not good among these people, and it was up to her to save face.

In the end, Ma gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and reached out to take off a phoenix hairpin on his head that had not been on his head several times.

"I was in a hurry and forgot to prepare a gift, only this hairpin could barely be handled. I hope Sister Zheng won't dislike it. ”

Ma's arrival was completely unexpected by Rong Zheng. I wouldn't have expected her to prepare a congratulatory gift for herself. This phoenix hairpin has only been worn by Ma once or twice, and it has been worn on very important occasions. Suddenly sent her this, Rong Zheng felt strange in his heart. However, Ma Shiken sent it away, and she didn't dare to accept it.

Rong Zheng took the somewhat heavy hairpin in front of everyone, smiled a little, and thanked him.

Ma Shi is ready to take it backβˆβ™‚dǐngβˆβ™‚diǎn∏ β™‚ Xiao ∏ β™‚ said, .Β±.β—Žos_(); , I didn't expect Rong Zheng to accept her things without disliking them, and it was quite surprising. So when Rong Zheng thanked her according to the number of courtesies, she was still a little uncomfortable.

When Mrs. Lu saw Ma's painful appearance, the corners of her mouth were about to reach her ears, and she was in an extremely happy mood.

When it was the princess's turn, she asked the maid to send a small black lacquered official suitcase. That's a box.

The princess smiled and said to Rong Zheng: "Our princess said that the sister-in-law and the concubine are a great joy, and we can't express it." These are the thoughts of me and Shiziye, please smile at my sister-in-law. ”

Everyone else is a gift, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the vassal king, Rong Zheng is not short of a few pieces of jewelry to wear. More or less just a diǎn mind. When Rong Zheng saw this box, he looked at the princess in surprise and said, "I can't afford a single piece, how can I be embarrassed to take these." ”

The princess smiled and said: "The prince said that these gifts must be sent to the sister-in-law, and we only have a sister-in-law like the sister-in-law, how can we do it if we are not filial piety." Sister-in-law, don't shirk it. ”

Rong Zheng touched the box, but finally did not open it in front of everyone, but his heart was like a drum. If it was really Mu Jing's meaning, then she wouldn't dare to accept it.

Ma Shi stared at the box without taking his eyes off, and his heart was really the palace, and his handwriting was different. The beads in the county lord's box just now made people unable to open their eyes, but I didn't expect that there was a more important scene waiting for them. Jealous, envious, all moods. Xindao thought that Mu Xuan was just a sick seedling, and Rong Zheng would be a widow soon after she got married, but she didn't expect it to be more and more moisturized. If Rong Zheng has a good relationship with her, the stepmother, it goes without saying, maybe she can pull her sister Sheng in the future. It's so bad between them, Rong Zheng's tail is about to go to the sky, where can she still tolerate her stepmother in her eyes. For a while, I felt a little remorseful.

The county lord of Duanhui saw the box, and said in his heart that this half-brother would come to trouble, and there was nothing wrong with him being willing to give Rong Zheng face. Motioned for Rong Zheng to accept it.

After receiving the gift, it was time for luncheon.

The luncheon was also held at the Seiyin Pavilion. A total of eight tables were held. The umami of all colors in the north and south has been personally confirmed by Duanhui. The banquet was windy, and everyone was very happy. Rong Zheng is not particularly good at dealing with such a scene, but today she is the protagonist, and she can't shrink into a corner, so she has to socialize.

After drinking seven or eight glasses of Jinhua wine, his cheeks were drunk, and he was more gorgeous than the peach blossoms. It's just that Rong Zheng feels a little drowsy, and he can't cope anymore.

Seeing this, Duanhui instructed Fucui and them to serve Rong Zheng for a good life, so Fu Cui and Ruyi helped Rong Zheng to go to the inner room to rest. Put down all these disturbances outside.

Fu Cui waited for Rong Zheng to lie down, and put down the emerald green gold tent. He sprinkled a handful of calming spices in the censer, and let the bird stand be moved to hang under the porch. Tell a little maid who has just left her head to pay attention to Rong Zheng's movements. Ruyi went to tell the kitchen to prepare a decanting soup, and after a while, Rong Zheng got up and was afraid that he would drink it.

Ruyi thought that Rong Zheng didn't have any instructions for a while, and then there was a little maid who temporarily put it away, and it was not too late to come and tell her when she woke up and called her. So he went out of the Qingyin Pavilion and planned to go to the Splendid Courtyard to watch the play.

Only then did he come out of the small door of the Qingyin Pavilion, and Ruyi met an old man from before. It was a maid who served tea in the former Rongjiang room, and her name was Lychee.

"Sister Ruyi!" Lychee stopped her.

Ruyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Lychee, why are you here?" ”

Lychee smiled: "I came with Miss Mrs., and Sister Ruyi didn't see me." ”

Ruyi thought for a while and asked, "Are you now on an errand in front of your wife?" She didn't want to call Ma Mrs.

Lychee said: "The people who served around my wife in the past have gone out, and my wife suddenly came home here to recuperate. Aunt Hui said that there could be no one around to serve her, so she sent me over to take care of my wife. ”

Ruyi pondered for a moment before asking, "When will the wife go back to the Plum Blossom Nunnery?" ”

Lychee shook her head a little blankly and said, "How can I know this as a slave." I'm just afraid that I have to wait until my wife's illness is completely cured, depending on the meaning of the master. "Lychee is just a third-class little maid serving tea in Rongjiang's room. Because Rong Jiang has not been in Bianliang for a long time, and she has no qualifications to go to Anyang with her, she has never been able to get a chance to get ahead. finally looked forward to this opportunity, and with her diligence these days, Ma still trusts her. Whether or not you can rise in the future, all your hopes are pinned on Ma.

Lychee is not very old, but she can see it very clearly.

If you say that, you can't pick out anything. She hated Ma's, and she didn't have much friendship with Lychee before, and she only reached the stage of getting to know her. She was still thinking about the drama of the Splendid Courtyard, so she smiled and wanted to say goodbye to Lychee.

Lychee waited here for nearly half an hour, how could he let Ruyi go like this. Seeing that she was leaving, she grabbed the corner of Ruyi's clothes a little timidly, and said pitifully: "Sister Ruyi, talk to me." ”

Ruyi didn't want to pay attention to Lychee, glanced at her, and said, "I still have something to do, how can I gossip with you here." ”

Lychee said: "I don't know other people well, so I know Sister Ruyi." Sister, I heard that Sister Zisu promised someone else and was going to get married, and I heard that it was the third aunt and grandmother who made the master. ”

"Ah, yes, my grandma is in charge. Xu gave Lei the bookkeeper. Ruyi obviously didn't want to talk more about Lychee. But Lychee, like her name, has a particularly sweet mouth, and her sister who opens and closes her mouth shouts, and will flatter people. Gradually, Ruyi was stumped,

After chattering with lychee for a while, another half an hour passed. The little maid who Fucui stayed behind to take care of Rong Zheng ran over and said to Ruyi: "Sister Ruyi, grandma is looking for you." Go for it. ”

Ruyi hurriedly got up, patted the dust that was not on her body, and said, "Grandma woke up so soon?" ”

The little girl smiled: "It's Sister Ruyi who forgot to speak, and grandma has been asleep for most of the hour." ”

Ruyi didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly said goodbye to Lychee, and didn't dare to think about watching a play or anything, so he went to the banquet place of Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng has changed his new makeup, and he still wears the golden hairpin full of ponds, and the fat powder is thinly applied, seeing that Ruyi is coming, he said with some disgust: "Why did you rest first, there are still many things ahead, don't come with me soon." ”

Ruyi didn't dare to gossip with Lychee for a long time, and just followed behind Rong Zheng without saying a word.

Sure enough, Mrs. Lu was leaving, and Rong Zheng personally went to send Mrs. Lu to the sedan chair. Old Madam Lu took Rong Zheng's hand and said with relief: "Your second aunt originally said that she was going to come today, but I knew that you didn't like her, so I didn't let me." I have nothing to regret seeing you like this today. Good boy, live a good life, come to grandma's house to see me when you are free. ”

Rong Zheng likes grandma the most, before Mrs. Lu got into the sedan chair, she also took the initiative to drill into Mrs. Lu's arms, as coquettish as when she was a child. Old Madam Lu touched Rong Zheng's neck lovingly and said with a smile: "Good boy, I am also very happy in my heart." In the future, when your grandson-in-law comes back, it would be good for you to raise a child as soon as possible. ”

Rong Zheng blushed and had a shy diǎndiǎn head. After his grandmother left, Rong Zheng went to the Splendid Courtyard to watch the play for a while with the county lord and the women. Lord Duanhui said with concern: "Seeing that you have drunk a lot of wine, it is not a big deal, right?" ”

Rong Zheng said truthfully: "The county lord knows that I am not very good at drinking, and after drinking so many glasses of wine, although I slept for a while, I still felt a headache. ”

When Duan Hui heard that he was busy preparing the decanting soup, he smiled and said, "This is not the order of the county lord, grandma has already drunk the decanting soup." ”

"In that case, you might as well go and rest for a while. It's very noisy here, but I'm afraid that I will be dizzy. It's okay, I'm in everything. ”

Rong Zheng sat for a while, and really felt that he couldn't stand it, so he got up and said goodbye apologetically. Everyone knew in their hearts that they were understanding.

Seeing that Rong Zheng was going back to Qingyin Hall to rest, Na Ma Shi hurriedly gave Rong Sheng a look. Rong Sheng hurriedly got up and volunteered: "Third sister, I'll accompany you back to the room." ”

Rong Zheng was still a little puzzled, but she immediately rejected Rong Sheng's kindness, and said with a smile: "Fifth sister is kind, can't I find the door in my own house." And then there are the girls. ”

Rong Sheng was very faceless at that time. Ma was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn't dare to show half of it.

Rong Zheng was not interested in the expressions of their mother and daughter, so he turned around and went out with Ruyi.

When he returned to the Qingyin Pavilion, Rong Xiao and Baowen were chattering under a banana tree. Rong Zheng said in his heart, the two are still harmonious. When they saw her returning, they both greeted her.

Rong Xiaoxian smiled: "It's the first time I've seen the third sister drink so much wine, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

Rong Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, so the county lord drove me back to rest." ”

Baowen covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister-in-law doesn't have a lot of alcohol, so she got drunk after only a few glasses." ”

Rong Zheng said: "I have never drunk much, and I have never dared to drink." If it weren't for today, I wouldn't dare to drink these. Fortunately, if you go to another house as a guest, you may be out of shape. ”

After standing and talking for a while, Rong Zheng said that he was going to lie down. Rong Xiao and Baowen didn't go up to bother.

It's sunny today, so it's a bit hot and humid in the afternoon. Rong Zheng lay on her back on the Luohan bed, and let a maid fan her beside her, so that her head could be clearer.

Later, seeing that Fu Cui took the gifts that the maids received today, he ordered a book. Rong Zheng naturally saw the little official's suitcase, and his heart could no longer be calm. He sat up, walked to the table, and reached open the box. Sure enough, there was a box full of gold, silver, and jewelry. Everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

Ruyi couldn't help but exclaim: "God, the princess of this world is too generous, the things in this world are worth a lot of price, and they are still full of good things." Grandma, you are developed. ”

Rong Zheng casually picked up the magnolia hairpin of Han jade, this jade, this workmanship, it is indeed expensive.

She weighed it carefully for a while, and said to Fu Cui: "Record this hairpin in the book." The rest were sent back to the Tung Flower Pavilion. ”

The people next to him looked at Rong Zheng in surprise.

Rong Zheng said: "How can I accept these things with peace of mind, I can accept this hairpin." I don't dare ask for any excess. "If she didn't know that Mu Jing's diǎn mind was good before, maybe she just sighed that the prince and his wife were generous, but now she is in this situation, and she doesn't dare to mess with it.

"Grandma, but it's okay for you to take it if the county lord wants you to take it. After all, it was the intention of the prince and the princess, and they went back, just afraid that people would be annoyed. ”

"Then they sent me a box of things without considering my feelings, and I was not annoyed. If it's mine, I'll definitely hold it in my hand, not mine, and I won't take a penny. That's my principle. You don't have to talk too much. Send someone to send this box tomorrow, and the princess shouldn't say anything. ”

Rong Zheng and the princess are quite close, and she knows what kind of person the princess is. This box has ** is what Mu Jing meant, and she didn't dare to accept it. (To be continued.) )
