Sure enough, within a few days, Mrs. Fang Da prepared all kinds of tonic and prepared to come to see Rong Zheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info happened to be Rong Di bringing his son to the house, so he asked Rong Di to go with him.

Mother Du thought to herself that after all, she was among the guests, and now she lived in Scissors Alley, so she had to be active in everything she did, and she couldn't let Mrs. Fang Da look down on her. In the future, there will be more places to rely on, so I also bought a few things and said that I would go with them. The same is true for Mrs. Liao, as an official wife, she has long been well versed in human relations. Only there was no movement from Ma's.

Du Mu and Mrs. Liao met and made an appointment to persuade together.

"Why doesn't the second wife want to go to Yangliu Hutong together?"

Ma Shi said interestingly: "What am I going to do, maybe people don't want to see me, don't I go to make people block." Go and go. ”

Du's mother and Ma's friendship is not bad, although after Ma's accident, she has not been in contact with the second room, but after all, she has also drunk tea and played cards, not to mention that Du Hong still has more points from the second room. Seeing that Ma refused to go, he kindly persuaded him: "The third lady was very generous at home, and she must be very happy to see the second lady go." Besides, we just came to the capital, and we have to rely on them. I heard that Uncle Mu is now very valued by the prince, and the third lady is favored by the crown princess. There are such in-laws who can't ask for it, so it won't be a bad thing for us to get closer. Why can't you turn a corner, madam? In the future, the fifth lady's family affairs may have to rely on the Yangliu Hutong side. ”

"What nonsense! Sister Sheng's son naturally has the final say on what kind of family she marries, does she still have to meddle in the family affairs of her half-sister as a married girl? Ma raised his eyebrows and was angry.

Mrs. Liao was a little helpless, why was this Mrs. Rong a little confused, and the key points were wrong. This Mrs. Du is also a person who can't speak, and seeing that Ma is a little annoyed, she hurriedly smiled and said, "The second wife misunderstood Mrs. Du's words." We are all new to the capital, and there must be many places to rely on for their help. Ordinary relatives may forget it, but the husband of the eldest daughter of the second room authentic. The second wife is her stepmother again, you took Sister Sheng'er to go, can't she still drive you out? Relatives have to move around each other, and if they don't move, they will be estranged. Not to mention that they are very close to the East Palace, and the second aunt is the emperor again. ”

Du Mu and Mrs. Liao's words, you and I's words, finally made Ma's heart move, and finally moved her. She also prepared two gifts and took Rong Sheng to visit Rong Zheng.

Several wives agreed on the date, Mrs. Fang Da sat in her own sedan chair, and greeted a flat-headed car for Du Mu and Mrs. Liao to sit. Ma took a small sedan chair. Rong Sheng, Liao Xian's daughter-in-law, and Du Hong's daughter-in-law sat in the flat-top car behind. Even with the accompanying maid and mother-in-law, it was out of Scissors Alley.

Rong Zheng was taking a nap in the bedroom, and suddenly Xiao Wang hurriedly came to report: "Grandma, get up quickly." Several wives have come to see you. ”

Rong Zheng rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked a little confusedly, "Who are here?" ”

Xiao Wang said with a smile: "The eldest wife, the second wife, as well as the wife of the Du family, the wife of the Liao family, the two young daughters-in-law, the second aunt and the fifth lady are also here." ”

Rong Zheng frowned, her heart was full of messy people, most of them were enemies she didn't want to see.

After Xiao Wang's report, he hurriedly asked the maid to comb Rong Zheng's hair and wear it.

"Grandma, take your time, the old slave has already beckoned them to sit in the flower hall for grandma and served tea. Someone has already gone to tell the uncle. ”

Only then did Rong Zheng remember that Mu Xuan was resting today. Everyone has come to the door, and she can see it even if she doesn't see it. The people who came were all women, so they couldn't all let Mu Xuan socialize.

Yutang and Qiu Ci are two, one combs Rong Zheng's hair, and the other chooses clothes for Rong Zheng. Yutang even took out several sets of clothes for Rong Zheng to choose. Rong Zheng was a little stunned, and said: "What are you doing so grandly, even if you enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, it won't be like this." ”

Qiu Ci smiled on the side: "Grandma, Yutang's little girl's mind is very flexible. She wants her grandmother to grow face in her mother's family. It's not a bad thing, grandma just clings to her. ”

Rong Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "You know her quite well." ”

Yutang smiled: "Sister Qiuci is not wrong. Grandma should be dressed up beautifully. Plug the mouths of those who look down on you. ”

Yutang is Rong Zheng's dowry maid, and she naturally knows a little about the Rong family.

Autumn words' hair is combed as well as the dead Ruyi. Rong Zheng looked at himself in the mirror, with a low bun and a ruby head. It looks very elegant and elegant.

By the time I got dressed and went to the flower hall to see my mother's relatives, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Mrs. Fang was gossiping with Mrs. Liao, and Mother Du was looking at the furnishings in the house, but Ma was a little impatient, feeling that Rong Zheng was deliberately putting on a shelf, and his face was a little unhappy.

Mu Xuan sat in front of him, they were all women in the room, and he didn't want to interject casually. It wasn't until Rong Zheng came that he breathed a sigh of relief, got up to greet him, and smiled gently: "Ah Zheng, you are here." ”

Rong Zheng smiled slightly, stepped forward generously, and the other party's eldest wife blessed, and said with a smile: "On a hot day, the eldest aunt has worked hard all the way." ”

Mrs. Fang said with a smile: "What do you say is hard, it's okay to sit in a sedan chair." Seeing that Rong Zheng had a ruddy face and bright clothes, he had to flatter her for a few words, and said: "Your clothes are beautiful, they are newly made." The material is good, too. ”

Rong Zheng glanced down at the set of willow yellow pinched gold and silver threads embroidered with white gardenia flowers on her body, and said with a smile: "This is made of palace silk." ”

Ma interjected at the right time: "The palace silk needs four taels of silver a horse." ”

Mrs. Fang replied for Rong Zheng: "Our family is engaged in silk cloth trading, and the fabric of four taels of silver is already the best material. But if you have money, you can't buy it easily, if I'm not mistaken, it's the material used by the palace king, right? I just look at this color, this pattern is beautiful. It has to be worn by someone of Sister Zheng'er's age, and we don't look like it. ”

Rong Zheng first said: "This is the material for the Queen Mother's reward" and then said: "I made a gown, and there are some materials left, and I am thinking of making another skirt to wear, but I can't think of any style to wear." ”

Mu Xuan saw that the women were talking about dressing and eating, so he casually accompanied him for a while and then went forward.

Rong Zheng said a few words with Mrs. Fang, but she didn't look at Ma and Mrs. Liao. Only pay attention to Du Hong's daughter-in-law and Liao Xian's daughter-in-law. Mother Du and Mrs. Liao asked their two daughters-in-law to come out and say hello to Rong Zheng.

Du Hong's daughter-in-law's surname is Li, and Liao Xian's daughter-in-law's surname is Jiang. The two are about the same age. The Li family is slightly taller, but looks like a small jasper. I don't know if Du Hong married this Li family in her previous life, but she doesn't remember it for a long time. Rong Zheng glanced at the Li family, and then deliberately glanced at the Jiang family a few times. Moderately tall, sixteen or seventeen years old. Melon seed face, apricot kernel big eyes. It looks a little delicate, with a seven-point appearance. However, the skin looks a little yellow, and there is not much expression between the eyes. At first glance, I haven't seen much of the world, and I'm a little timid.

Rong Zheng didn't have much energy to greet these wives, so he asked people to take dominoes, let the wives sit at a table, and let them touch the cards freely.

Rong Di took a hairpin to tease Sister Yuan'er. Rong Zheng saw it and hurriedly asked Rong Di: "Second sister, why don't you bring your nephew and niece with you?" ”

Rong Di smiled: "I wanted to play freely for a day, so I didn't bring them here." She had already heard her mother say that Rong Zheng was pregnant again, and stared at Rong Zheng's belly curiously. Because the clothes were loose, it was not obvious, and asked Rong Zheng mysteriously: "Have you looked for a doctor?" Is it a boy or a girl? ”

Rong Zheng smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, the few doctors who came here have everything to say, regardless of men and women, as long as they are healthy." ”

Rong Di saw that Rong Sheng was an unmarried girl and was a little inconvenienced in front of him, so he took Rong Zheng's hand and said, "Let's go, I have a few private words to talk to you." ”

Rong Zheng glanced at Li and Jiang. Although she didn't like Du Hong and hated Liao Xian, these two people came to the house for the first time as guests, and they had no grudges with her. It's the first time I saw her, and when she was the master, it wasn't good to leave them aside.

Li Shi is a smart one, got up and smiled: "Grandma Mu don't have to worry about us. We went to see the wives playing cards. Grandma Mu, please take care of yourself. ”

Jiang lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Rong Zheng saw that Rong Di insisted on pulling her away, so he had to say, "Sisters, sit down for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”

Rong Di has been to Yangliu Hutong twice, so he doesn't treat himself as a guest at all, and pulls Rong Zheng to the banquet room over there. Rong Zheng instructed the maid to serve tea.

After Rong Di sat down, he couldn't wait to say, "When you first found out that you are pregnant, you should have asked someone to tell me that I have an ancient recipe there." It is said that in the first trimester of pregnancy, the earlier it is used, the more effective it is. To tell you the truth, our family's brother Qian was born by me using that recipe. I don't know if it will work if you eat it now. If you need it, I'll have it delivered to you, how about it? ”

Rong Zheng knew that Rong Di was kind, but she wanted to go with the flow, plant whatever cause, and get what effect. So he politely rejected Rong Di's kindness and said: "Our uncle doesn't dislike it, anyway, both men and women are his seeds." ”

"Well, having said that, the father doesn't like his son. What should you do for yourself? ”

"What am I going to do? It's good to have children and daughters, but I don't force it if I don't have it. He didn't say that if I couldn't have a son, I would marry another. ”

Rong Di saw that Rong Zheng was a little angry, and hurriedly smiled: "You are pregnant now, don't be angry." I'm cheap-mouthed, and I don't know what to say. Whether it's a daughter, it's a blessing for a daughter to feel distressed. ”

Rong Di remembered that when she lived in Bianliang a few years ago, she had experienced Rong Zheng's temperament. Now a few years have passed, she has also married a woman, after a lot of hard work, her temperament has also been greatly restrained, but when Rong Zheng is not disciplined by her mother-in-law, it is still the same as before, so she is afraid of making Rong Zheng unhappy, and she asks for hardship.

Rong Zheng didn't want to worry about giving birth to a child or a daughter, so he changed the topic.

"Where is that Jiang from, do you know?"

Rong Di said: "I've heard people talk about it, saying that it is the concubine of the county order family. ”

"Concubine? A person like Mrs. Liao, who wants to be reckless, would allow her son to marry a concubine? Rong Zheng felt a little incredible.

"I don't know the Liao family well, so I don't know why. But I heard my mother mention two things. said that Mrs. Liao didn't want to see this daughter-in-law, and often embarrassed this Jiang family. But then again, isn't it always the case to be a little daughter-in-law? If you want to find out, you might as well call her in and ask her carefully. ”

Rong Zheng couldn't be more clear about Mrs. Liao's way of life, pouting and saying, "I asked her what she was doing with this." ”

Rong Di took Rong Zheng's hand and said with a smile: "Hey, what do we do in charge of other people, anyway, we are not relatives, we will come and go if we are happy in the future, and no one will say anything if we are unhappy." It's you, I heard that you are very close to the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess. Then you should mention our eldest sister more in front of the Queen Mother. Let the Queen Mother help take care of it more, and our eldest sister's life will be better. ”

Rong Zheng said: "There is a system in the palace in the palace. The eldest sister now has a child in her belly, and she will definitely be treated preferentially. It won't be as hard as it used to be. ”

Rong Di said: "That's the case. Now my mother can go in to see the eldest sister on the first and fifteenth days of every month. In the morning, my mother also said that she would take me with her on the first day of the next new year. When the eldest sister first found out that she was pregnant, her mother went to Baiyun Nunnery to donate sesame oil money to the eldest sister, and offered a lamp in front of Guanyin. ”

"Since your recipe is so effective, why don't you let the eldest sister try it?"

"You think I don't want to, but I know it's too late for my eldest sister to be pregnant. This child is not good, so I have to plan for the next one. ”

Rong Zheng supports his forehead, and the eldest sister Rong Yun is still just a talented person. Besides, it's not very favored. In her memory, the eldest sister only raised such a princess, and she never had any children of her own.

Rong Zheng and Rong Di chatted for a while, although the two are sisters, but their temperament is not right, their preferences are wrong, and they can't talk about it. So she went forward. Both Jiang and Li were with their respective mothers-in-law. Mrs. Liao was winning the money, she was very happy, she rolled up her sleeves, and she didn't feel inappropriate at all about Jiang's drinking. Jiang looked like a standard little daughter-in-law and let it go.

She swept around and didn't see Rong Sheng's shadow. Rong Zheng didn't care at all.

She called someone and ordered a few words to be passed to the kitchen. I remembered that I had to discuss with Mu Xuan if I had something, so I went to the study.

Mu Xuan's study is located in the east wing of the courtyard on the first floor. Mu Xuan likes spacious and bright places, so the east wing is all opened up and made into a study. It's just that the books and calligraphy and paintings here are far less than the Tangli study, so it looks a little empty.

When she entered the courtyard through the back door, she felt that the courtyard was quiet, and the people who served did not know where to run. The sun was a little dazzling, and she walked under the porch to the window of the east wing, only to see that the window was wide open. She glanced inward, and saw Mu Xuan standing there, and there was a woman beside her, holding tea, and was about to lean on Mu Xuan.

That woman is none other than her good half-sister, Rong Sheng! (To be continued.) )
