Chapter 38: Suspicion
The Qi family is a scholarly family, and there are not a few officials in previous dynasties. It's just that in the last generation or two, there have been no feudal officials. Rong Zheng's maternal grandfather was an official in the same dynasty as his grandfather, and he was tired of being a political envoy. He also admired his grandfather's knowledge very much, and married his sons and daughters. married the young lady from the Qi family to the second young master of the Rong family. Rong Jiang treated Miss Qi very respectfully, and the couple lived a peaceful and beautiful life.
My grandfather has always valued this son-in-law, but it's a pity that my father is so far behind after all, but he was born in the same jinshi, which makes my grandfather somewhat regretful.
Rong Zheng has four uncles, and her mother is the only daughter of her grandmother, and she is also the most favored. But the longevity of life could not be both, and his mother finally died after only living to be twenty-one years old.
Old Madam Lu took Rong Zheng's hand and said with a sigh: "I dreamed of your mother again last night, I asked her where she went, and she ignored me in her dream. ”
Rong Zheng smiled and explained: "Grandma misses her mother too much, so she dreams of her." ”
"I had several children, and she was the first to leave me. is the only daughter, and she is pampered in every way when she is at home, for fear of being wronged. Her older brothers said I was biased. I just said that I don't feel sorry for just such a girl, who doesn't feel sorry, I live a few days of comfort in my mother's house, and when I get married and want to teach my husband and children, I may not be so comfortable. ”
Rong Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Grandma is right." ”
Old Madam Lu looked at Rong Zheng and sighed, "You look more and more like her." But you're definitely better than her. ”
Rong Zheng couldn't laugh much when he thought of what would happen in the future. However, she is definitely unwilling to marry the Liao family in this life, she really can't, she will not marry in this life.
Mrs. Lu really felt sorry for such a lone seedling left by her daughter, so she repeatedly told her daughters-in-law that she would take Rong Zheng back to live for a few days. She is also relieved to keep it by her side.
In the evening, Rong Zheng's cousins and cousins also dispersed from school. When everyone came to greet Mrs. Lu, they also saw Rong Zheng.
"Cousin Rong, you haven't come to our house for a long time. Are you still having trouble with Xiao Wu? It was Rong Zheng's fourth brother who spoke.
The fifth brother who was named stood behind Mrs. Shen, looking at Rong Zheng and still a little timid, he didn't dare to come forward to talk to Rong Zheng.
Rong Zheng didn't notice the fifth brother's affection, and said with a generous smile: "Brothers and sisters are in one place, naturally they are harmonious, where will there be any awkwardness." Isn't it, fifth cousin? ”
Mrs. Shen pulled out her son behind her and said with a smile, "Your sister said so, what are you still hiding behind." ”
The person concerned, Qi Jun's face was red, he squirmed like a girl, and came out to say hello to Rong Zheng. Rong Zheng smiled and gave Qi Jun two ingot orchid inks as a meeting gift.
Qi Jun was a little surprised, but still accepted it.
Second Mrs. Shen was visibly relieved when she saw this. The smile on his face is also brighter.
When it was time to set the dinner here, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Ren were busy going to Zhang Luo. The fourth brother Qi Zhao and Rong Zheng gossiped.
"Xiao Wu, if he still dares to avoid you, I will help you train him!"
Rong Zheng smiled and said: "What to teach him, he is timid, don't scare him." ”
Qi Zhao smiled: "He is quite timid. ”
Second Mrs. Shen helped set up the dishes and chopsticks, walked over and called Qi Jun away, and whispered to him: "Your cousin of the Rong family is a pampered and domineering, don't mess with her if you have something to do." Your grandmother is a person who is biased towards the Yellow River, don't expect her to be reasonable and stand on your side. ”
Qi Junmumu responded yes, but said in his heart: Sister Rong hasn't seen her for a long time, but she seems to have grown a lot taller and become a lot more beautiful. Thinking like this, he went to look for the Rong Zheng in the crowd. Rong Zheng and Qi Jun didn't know what they were talking about, and Rong Zheng was full of smiles. Qi Jun looked at Rong Zheng's smile and was a little stunned.
Second Mrs. Shen noticed her son's gaze, and said with a calm face: "A girl who has no mother's upbringing, what is there to look at." ”
Qi Jun hurriedly said: "Mother, if you say this, beware of grandmother hearing it." ”
Mrs. Lu came out, Yun Xian on one side and Rong Zheng on the other, and the two girls carried her out. Her face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"There are guests here today, you all eat here with me, everyone is lively."
Mrs. Lu is old, and she always likes the family to be gathered together, lively and lively.
There were two tables of dinner at the moment.
Qi Zhao is an active person who can't sit still, even if he goes to the dinner table, he doesn't stop, chattering with Qi Jun about things in the school. Mrs. Ren San glanced at Qi Zhao and said, "Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking!" ”
Old Madam Lu smiled and pointed to the two grandsons and the others: "Xiao Si is too naughty again, let his mother worry about it." And Xiao Wu is too quiet, twisting like a girl. His mother was equally worried. ”
When the meal was finished, everyone accompanied Mrs. Lu to talk for a while. Rong Zheng's second and third uncles came to say hello. Old Madam Lu asked a few words casually and asked them to go back to their rooms.
Here, Zisu and other maids had already put the cages brought by Rong Zheng with them, and the eldest cousin and sister-in-law sent brocade quilts, tents, and so on.
Rong Zheng waited for Mrs. Lu to go to bed before coming over to rest.
Ziying untied Rong Zheng's hair, and Rong Zheng saw that there was no one in front of him, so he asked Ziying in a low voice: "Did I offend my fifth cousin somewhere?" ”
Ziying was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Miss has forgotten jì?" ”
Rong Zheng couldn't necessarily remember what she had with Qi Jun before, and looked at Ziying blankly.
Ziying said in her heart, but a few months ago, how could Miss forget it. At that time, there was such a big fuss, so the master asked people to come to Qi's house to pick them up. Not long after that, the young lady fell ill, and after the illness recovered, she felt that something was wrong with the young lady.
"Tell me, how did I offend him, and the way I look at Mrs. Shen's second wife, I always have some sharpness for me."
Rong Zheng also wants to have a good relationship with the Qi family, although she was a headache and an unreliable person before, but if she comes again, she is not a child again, thinking of her grandmother's love for her, she can't make the old man embarrassed.
Ziying saw that Rong Zheng bit her lip lightly, and felt a little remorseful, so she smiled and said, "Miss really forgot about it?" Before, you beat the fifth young master of the Qi family, and it made a lot of trouble. The second uncle's wife is so precious to the fifth cousin young master, but the old lady feels sorry for you again, helps you talk everywhere, and also reprimands the fifth cousin young master. Can the second uncle's wife feel comfortable? ”
"I hit my fifth cousin?" Rong Zheng's face was incredible.
"But no, did Miss really forget?"
Rong Zheng was a little confused, saying that she used to like to cause trouble, and it was not uncommon for her to beat someone. It's just that why she beat the fifth brother, but she can't remember anything.
It seems that Mrs. Shen's prejudice against her has long been buried.
