Chapter Ninety-Four: Gossip
Since his rebirth, Rong Zheng has changed his previous temperament and lived a well-behaved life. Unexpectedly, in the end, with Ma's mouth, she had left a bad influence in the eyes of those official wives, and her reputation was damaged.
No matter how much the official wives can believe what Ma said, but the fastidious people will not say goodbye to such a young lady. Rong Zheng, like in his previous life, fell into an embarrassing situation.
Concubine Yan complained to the princess: "Why doesn't that lady of the Rong family have any demeanor at all, so she can hear her noisy, talking about some stepdaughters, like a vulgar woman in the market." Who the hell is this Mrs. Rong? ”
How did the princess know the origin of the Ma family, or the princess said: "She is the stepfamily of the Rong family, I heard that her mother's family is a businessman, and she is the concubine of the family." ”
"It's no wonder what kind of good daughter can be raised by such a family. But it's true that this Miss Rongsan and her stepmother don't get along. The two of them fought in the ring and came outside. This stepmother is angry with this stepdaughter, no matter what Mrs. Rong said is true or not, but there is one thing that cannot be faked, this Miss Rong San is frivolous and unfilial to her parents, but she is solid. ”
The princess said, "I heard that I haven't said kiss yet." It's the loss of the mother and the eldest daughter, and it seems that it will be more difficult in the future. ”
Concubine Yan thought for a while and said: "Wen'er is close to her, tell Wen'er, and tell her to stay away from such people in the future." How good can an uneducated lady be? Don't let the Rong family come to the door in the future! Having invited such a person to the banquet, what is the brilliance on our faces as hosts? ”
The princess and the princess both responded yes. Fortunately, Baowen didn't hear this gossip here.
Here is talking about something at the banquet, and suddenly the outside report "Uncle is here!" ”
Concubine Yan was still a little surprised and said to the princess: "I didn't come back on Chinese New Year's Eve, how can I come today?" ”
The princess didn't speak indifferently, and the princess looked at the princess.
After a while, Mu Xuan walked in. He stepped forward and saluted in a proper manner.
Concubine Yan said dishappily: "How can you come back today?" ”
Mu Xuan said respectfully: "It's time to come back and say hello to the old man." ”
"No wonder your father is angry, you only tell me what you have done. I won't talk about it a few years ago, but this year I moved out of the temple and it's still like this! In the end, there is no family in the eyes! ”
Mu Xuan quietly listened to the number of elders and said nothing.
The princess sat and drank tea for a while, then got up and said, "I still have something to do there, so I'll go back first." ”
Before Concubine Yan could speak, Mu Xuan took the first step and said, "Princess, please wait, I have something to say." The princess might as well listen to it. ”
The princess was extremely surprised, what else could she say between her and this stepson, and she heard the concubine say, "Just sit down and listen to what Da Lang has to say." ”
Mu Xuan didn't sit when he had a place, and stood straight in the room. Hearing his words, he said crisply: "I heard that the third brother said that everyone in the house is worried about my life's affairs, and it has caused you trouble." While this matter has not yet been decided, I have two requests to make clear. First, after I got married, I didn't live in the house, so I was officially separated. Everything in the house has little to do with me. Two. No matter who you marry, this family business needs my nod and agree. ”
When Concubine Yan heard this, it was not a difficult thing to laugh and said, "Both points depend on you." As for how to divide the family, you have to ask your father what he means. Besides, you are also surnamed Mu and a clan relative, so why do you say that the affairs of the house have nothing to do with you? You are the eldest son of our branch, but don't forget. ”
Mu Xuan said a little stiffly: "I am not the son of the world, and it is not me who will protect this family in the future." ”
Concubine Yan had no choice but to say to the princess: "This matter needs to be stepped up." Da Lang is going to be twenty-four here, and there are a few children like him who are as old as him. ”
The princess answered yes. She was not very reluctant to stop this, and seemed not very interested.
Mu Xuan said again: "In the future, my sister's affairs will depend on your help." ”
Concubine Yan smiled: "Look at what those two old men mean, I don't matter." However, Zai Jiao must not be compared to the first marriage, where the ancestral system is placed. ”
The talk was peaceful. Concubine Yan left Mu Xuan to eat in the mansion again, but Mu Xuan refused. In the end, his estrangement still made Concubine Yan unhappy.
"It's okay to live separately, I look at his ice cube face every day. I'll leave all the affairs of Dalang to your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. By the way, didn't you say the children of the Gu family before? I think that's pretty good! ”
The princess hurriedly said: "The two sisters in our family have already been married. ”
Concubine Yan said with some regret: "Then I have to find someone else's house." ”
said that Rong Zheng returned to the house, and he refused to even go to Ma's room to sit for a while.
Ruyi, who went with him, felt quite unhappy and muttered, "This wife is so boring." What good would it do us to ruin our young lady's reputation. Don't be weak, young lady, because you still have something in your hand that is not good for her. Oh no, let's shake it out and see who doesn't want to be embarrassed! It just so happens that the old man is still in the house for a while. If the master goes to office again, I see what the young lady will do! ”
Rong Zheng said: "She is leading me to a dead end, so it's okay." Anyway, I decided not to marry, and she couldn't help me. ”
Ruyi was angry, busy and relieved: "Miss, you are angry and angry." You can't say that. ”
"Why? With my mother's dowry, as long as I manage it well, I won't starve to death in the future. You can live a lifetime without getting married. ”
"Miss, do you want your wife to splash dirty water on you?"
Rong Zheng said: "Bear with it first, and wait until you are on the right track in the future." As long as she doesn't offend me again, I will respect her a foot. ”
Rong Zheng secretly thought that Ma and her had a complete falling out. She still holds the hole cards in her hand now, and she can also deter Ma, and she will not show the hole cards in her hand when it is not critical. Because of the tragic experience in her previous life, she has never had confidence in marriage, so she doesn't have any hope, and now it's just right, she won't worry about the appearance of a second Liao family. Live a life of comfort!
When she returned to the province in the evening, Rong Zheng went to see her father.
Rong Jiang naturally didn't know anything about what was happening in the palace, he nodded and said, "I'm going back to Anyang again on the eighth day of the new year, you guys are all in peace, don't make trouble for me." I don't have to worry about it. ”
Ma nodded blankly in agreement.
Rong Zheng didn't look at Ma's, and said straight to Rong Jiang: "Daddy, after the Lantern Festival, I want to open the shop." It's just that there is still a shortage of money at the moment, so let's see if you can ......"
Rong Jiang smiled: "I nodded if you want to open a shop, but if there is anything you don't understand, you have to ask your mother." Your grandfather's family has also been a merchant for generations, and he has seen a lot of the world. If you don't ask your third uncle, don't come nonsense yourself. You know? ”
Rong Zheng nodded and agreed: "If I don't understand something, I will go to the third uncle for advice." "She's automatically eliminated Ma's.
Rong Jiang thought that the child was curious and wanted to try everything, and he hoped that Rong Zheng could really make money, and hoped that this child would suffer a little. I can grow in the future, so I agreed to Rong Zheng's request.
"Go back, you let Sister Zheng pay two hundred taels of silver in the account." Rong Jiang turned his head and said to Ma, and then said to Rong Zheng: "This money will be given to you first." But that's all I can do for you, and it's up to you to figure out the rest. ”
Rong Zheng estimated once, and the shop was ready-made. However, if you want to buy goods, you have to hire someone. There are two hundred taels that should be able to turn around for the time being.
"Okay, thank you Daddy."
When Ma heard that he was going to pay money, he was unhappy, so he asked coldly: "If the shop makes money, how can this money be calculated?" ”
Rong Jiang said with a smile: "Of course, even if it is Sister Zheng'er's own, but whether it is earned or lost depends on Sister Zheng'er's ability." ”
Rong Zheng hurriedly said: "Daddy, give me two years, and I will definitely pay back your capital of two hundred taels." ”
"Yo, you're not a small one. We have all heard this. Don't deny it when the time comes. ”
Then Ma Shi is disdainful, a shop can earn a hundred taels a year? But she did not believe. She wanted to see what Rong Zheng was capable of.
Now they go to bed.
Ma ordered someone to warm the bed with a soup woman.
Rong Jiang got up and said, "You can sleep by yourself." I'll go to Huiqiu. ”
When Ma heard this, his heart was half cold, and he said helplessly: "Be careful on the road, don't slip." I had to let the little maid send Rongjiang to Huiqiu with a lantern.
After Rong Jiang left, the grievances in Ma's heart instantly turned into tears, and she said in her heart, isn't she really jealous of Huiqiu? Doesn't she want to start a branch for the Rong family anymore, she dreams of having a son, but Rong Jiang finally comes back. and always ignore her, where did she give birth to a son?
Huiqiu never expected Rong Jiang to go back to sleep with her. When she heard someone calling for the door, she just didn't believe it. Later, the maid said, "The master is here." ”
Huiqiu had already lay down, so she had to put on her clothes and go to the ground.
She walked outside to take a look. Sure enough, I saw Rong Jiang coming.
"It's all here, why did the master come?"
"I don't come to see it, and I'm not sure. Is the child still obedient? ”
Huiqiu said with a smile: "He's okay today." ”
Huiqiu has to serve Rong Jiang Yu Mu with her own hands, Rong Jiang pities her now that she is pregnant, these things are only for the maids.
When he was lying on the bed, Rong Jiang said some warm words to Huiqiu on the pillow, and said, "Wait until he comes out." I'll be sure to come back and see you. ”
Huiqiu said with sincere fear: "The master is in office, where can he come back when he says he will come back?" ”
"It's not that you can't take leave."
For Rong Jiang's sincere heart, Huiqiu felt warm in her heart, and asked with a smile: "Does the master want the slave to be pregnant with a son or a daughter?" ”
Rong Jiang said without thinking: "Now I have two daughters. is over 30 years old, and he doesn't even have a son, of course, he hopes to conceive a son. ”
"Then what if the slave gives birth to a young lady, what about the master?"
"What else can I do, my daughter I also admit it. You don't have to think about anything now, raise the fetus with peace of mind, and give birth to him smoothly. If you can't decide anything, go and discuss it with your wife. ”
Huiqiu thought of the methods that Ma had done to her, how could she dare to go to Ma's. If Rong Zheng hadn't saved her halfway, I'm afraid that the child in my belly would have been gone. Rong Zheng was still very grateful for her kindness, and thought of the words that Ruyi came over in the afternoon to babble.
Huiqiu spent half the night, and finally spoke: "Master, the slave maid heard about something. ”
Rong Jiang came up sleepy, looked at it worriedly, and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”
"The slave and maid came back to the palace with their wives and ladies today, and said ......"
Huiqiu swallowed and vomited, not happy at all.
Rong Jiang was a little impatient, and frowned: "If it is important, say it quickly, and if it doesn't matter, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Huiqiu gritted her teeth, she had already opened her mouth, and she didn't take it back to the end, and her heart continued: "The slave maid heard that Mrs. went to the palace today as a guest, and mentioned our third young lady to those wives and grandmothers outside. ”
"Sister Zheng is just talking about kissing, this is not unusual."
"But...... Mrs. didn't say anything good about Miss Three. ”
Rong Jiang's sleepiness suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Who did you listen to these words?" ”
Huiqiu naturally can't say that she listened to Ruyi, and her heart was empty; "If you don't believe it, you can go and verify. The slave will never tell lies to deceive the master, nor will she frame the wife. ”
Rong Jiang knew that Huiqiu's temperament had always been gentle, and he never said three or four things behind his back, and he wondered in his heart: "What you said is the truth?" ”
Huiqiu hurriedly promised: "There will never be a word of falsehood." As long as Ruyi's little hoof doesn't lie to her, she won't make it up at will, but it's hard for her to say it.
"What the hell is this Ma thinking? Why did she want to tell outsiders that Sister Zheng was not. What did Sister Zheng offend her? ”
Huiqiu shook her head and said, "This slave doesn't know. ”
Rong Jiang was suspicious, and because Huiqiu was pregnant with a fetus, it was really not good to ask her more, which made Huiqiu worry and moved the fetus, but he also comforted her: "I know about this, and I will find out." You don't have to worry about it. ”
Huiqiu closed her mouth in amusement, not daring to ask more.
Early the next morning, Rong Jiang asked the people around Huiqiu and asked who Huiqiu had seen yesterday afternoon. The maid who served beside him said that the Ruyi around Rong Zheng had come.
Rong Jiang said in his heart, what kind of tricks are these people doing. When he left Huiqiu, he asked someone to call Ruyi.
At that time, Ruyi was combing Rong Zheng's hair, and I heard that the master called her over. Ruyi was shocked, and he didn't dare to delay for a while, so he had to go.
Rong Zheng was still puzzled, and asked Zisu: "What is the master looking for her?" ”
Shiso shook her head.
At two o'clock, Rong Jiang found Ma with an angry face.
Ma's Orthodox Rong Sheng writes.
Rong Jiang didn't care about his little daughter in front of him, so he opened his mouth and came: "Tell me what good things you have done?" ”
Ma Shi hurriedly got up and said, "Where did the master provoke such a big anger?" ”
"Hmph, if I'm not at home, you'll just come here. Now even my own people don't know how to maintain it. Tell me why you're doing this! Today you have to give me an explanation. Rong Jiangzi's face swelled.
When did Ma Shi see Rong Jiang's formation, just as Mama Zhou glanced at her in fear, Ma's heart sank, could it be that the dead girl handed over all those things to the master?
When Ma was the master of the six gods and didn't know what to do, Rong Jiang shouted: "It seems that you don't know what mistakes you have made, so let me ask you, why do you want to slander Sister Zheng in front of outsiders?" Isn't she your daughter? ”
Ma panicked, it turned out to be for this matter. Don't be afraid, she has already thought of a way to deal with it. (To be continued.) )
