Chapter Ninety-Five: Preparation
Rong Sheng had never seen her father get angry, and in her memory, her father had always been gentle and gentle. Now I saw my father scolding my mother, and I was already scared and didn't know why, so I stayed there.
In the face of Rong Jiang's accusation, Ma hurriedly defended himself: "I have been married to the master for several years, doesn't the master know what kind of person I am." You know, I'm clumsy and not very good at talking. Mrs. Huang, who was in front of her at the table yesterday, accidentally asked Sister Zheng a few words, didn't I tell her. ”
"Then you don't need to be outside the length of Sister Zheng, how can you let her marry in the future?!"
Ma Shi burst into tears, and said pitifully: "Mrs. Huang asked me how old my sister Zheng is, and what she is doing at home, and I tell the truth. How did I know that Mrs. Huang didn't have a good heart, so she set me up. In the end, it makes people look at the joke. ”
Rong Jiang felt a headache and said angrily: "What do you mean to tell the truth......
Ma said: "Sister Zheng used to be strong, and she liked to deal with others, I am not wrong about this." ”
Rong Jiang no longer listened to Ma's discrimination, he gritted his teeth and said, "I think you just made up your mind to destroy Sister Zheng'er's future family affairs." I sue you, it's not that easy. Are you annoyed when you hear me say that Sister Zheng's dowry is 1,000 more? ”
Ma resented Rong Jiang's partiality, but she didn't dare to say it clearly, so she only said pitifully: "I don't know what I shouldn't say, and I have nothing to say if the master wants to blame me, but I definitely don't want to damage Sister Zheng'er." Please also ask the master to be clear! ”
Rong Jiang just didn't believe it and left in a hurry. threw down a sentence: "When you first entered the door, how did I tell you, Sister Zheng'er's mother left early, pitiful, let you treat her well." What you've done over the years, you have to think about it yourself. ”
Ma Shiyou felt aggrieved, and said with a sob: "Master, this stepmother is not good." I will give Sister Zheng what she wants, no matter what she does, I will follow her, is it still bad. Today, the old man heard these nonsense from nowhere. Just come and ask me. Tell me what I've done wrong all these years?! ”
Rong Jiang thought about it carefully, and Ma's treatment of Rong Zheng has always been good. Seeing Ma's aggrieved and tearful appearance again, he had to ask a few more words, and when he saw Rong Sheng's face next to him white, his heart couldn't help but soften. Sigh and say, "Okay." Home and everything is prosperous. You're a mother. Naturally, you have to protect them outside. Whether it's Sister Zheng or Sister Sheng, they are all your children. Sister Zheng used to be young, and it was inevitable that there would be some nonsense, but recently I saw that she was much more sensible. As long as you treat her well. She will honor you in the future. If you want to say anything in the future, you might as well think about it first. ”
Ma Shi cried and red-eyed, and replied yes.
Rong Jiang couldn't see the woman crying, and felt upset, so he didn't bother to ask about it for the time being.
After Rong Jiang left, Mama Zhou sweated, and said to Ma Shi with some trepidation: "The master won't ask about this matter again, right?" ”
Ma said: "Where do I know? ”
Mama Zhou said again: "In the future, my wife should not take the words of those official wives outside, beware of the cover." ”
Ma Shi smiled and said, "Do you think I'm really so stupid to be led by the nose?" She just wants Rong Zheng to have a good reputation, and she won't be able to marry in the future, and in the end, the master's heart will be light, and this matter may have to be held in her hands in the end, so she will have to deal with Rong Zheng at that time.
Ma Shi looked down and saw Rong Sheng standing there with a pale face, hurriedly hugged Rong Sheng, and said softly: "My sister Sheng, you are frightened." It's okay, don't worry. ”
Rong Sheng trembled and said, "Daddy's anger is so scary. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Sister Sheng, you have to remember that this qiē made by your mother will be for your good in the future. Why should you be shorter? ”
Rong Sheng knew that her father had fallen out with her mother for her sister's business, and her heart was naturally towards her mother.
It didn't take long for the turmoil in Ma's yard to reach Rong Zheng's ears, and Rong Zheng thought that his father's news was fast.
"Go and call me Ruyi!" The red snail agreed, and went to call Ruyi.
After a while, Ruyi came, Rong Zheng sat at the kang table, and said to Ruyi: "Let me ask you, what did your father call you to do in the morning?" ”
Ruyi said truthfully: "I just asked a few words." ”
"Was it those things that happened yesterday in the palace?"
Ruyi said: "The master asked, and the slave had no choice but to say." ”
"How did my father know about yesterday? Didn't you take it out first and learn the tongue when you learned? ”
Ruyi was a little upset for Rong Zheng, and said busily: "The slave didn't talk nonsense, the young lady swallowed her anger, didn't she fall into the arms of his wife." The slave is anxious for the young lady. ”
"What can you say and what you can't say, it seems that I haven't taught you well before. Forget about it, if you encounter the same thing in the future, I will worry about you again. ”
Ruyi knew that the young lady would not be annoyed, but she didn't take it to heart.
Mei Fen reported outside: "Miss, Steward Li is here. ”
Rong Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, invite him to the flower hall for tea, and I'll go over immediately." ”
Rong Zheng instructed Ruyi to help her iron her washed clothes, and then went to the flower hall.
Li Yong saw Rong Zheng coming, and hurriedly stood up.
Rong Zheng said with a smile: "Steward Li, please take a seat." ”
Li Yong is in his forties, followed the third uncle to do some outside affairs, and became the shopkeeper of two shops, and he has a good set of business. Rong Jiang said that Rong Zheng wanted to open a shop, and he couldn't have a guide, so he asked Li Yong to come over and point out Rong Zheng.
Rong Zheng treated Li Yong with great respect, and his attitude was easy-going, and he asked earnestly: "Manager Li, I don't know if you have heard of the shop over there, I plan to open a pen and ink shop, I don't know how?" ”
It is not uncommon for the wives and grandmothers of rich families to save their private money and want to make some fat powder money in a shop.
Li Yong was not surprised to hear that Rong Zheng wanted to open a pen and ink shop, but asked with a smile: "Why did the third lady think about opening a pen and ink shop?" ”
Rong Zheng said: "**Fang is not far from Wenhua Academy, I think it should be possible to sell some pen, ink, paper and inkstone." ”
Li Yong smiled: "As the third lady herself said, there should be no problem. Now the rest is a matter of purchasing. The old slave knows the relevant people, so he can inquire for the young lady. It's just a matter of the shopkeeper and the account room, I'm afraid that the young lady will have to think about it. ”
At the end of the year, Rong Zheng asked Lei Bo to go to the third room to help, and Xindao asked him to study for a year or two and then come back to help him. At the moment, I really have someone who can use it.
When Zi Su came in to pour tea, she suddenly remembered Zi Ying, so she said to Li Yong: "I have a person right now, maybe I can use it." If he doesn't understand something, I'll ask him to ask you. ”
Li Yong said modestly: "Miss is too polite. ”
After Li Yong left, Rong Zheng let Bei Yonggui in.
Over the years, Bei Yonggui has also helped in the shop at home, and he has become a relative to Ziying. Rong Zheng trusts him.
When Don't Yonggui come in. He saluted Rong Zheng in a proper manner, Rong Zheng looked at the tea, and asked about the situation at home.
Bei Yonggui blushed and said, "Ziying, she just found out that she was pregnant here, so she didn't come in to say hello to Miss." Please forgive me. ”
"No wonder I saw your mother come in. Is she in good health? How many months? ”
Bei Yonggui replied: "It's only been two months." It's just that the joy is very strong. I don't want to eat anything, and I'm a lot thinner than before. ”
"It's good to get through this time. It's not easy to raise a child, you have to treat her well. ”
Bei Yonggui blushed and said, "Don't dare to treat her badly." ”
Here Rong Zheng discussed with him about opening a shop. Don't Yonggui also said with sincere fear: "Miss has entrusted such a heavy responsibility, but I'm afraid that the small one can't afford it." ”
Rong Zheng has always used people without suspicion, and suspects don't need to do it, since she called Bei Yonggui to come, she must believe him. Seeing Bei Yonggui say this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't have to be presumptuous. You've been in the shop for so many years. I heard from the shopkeeper that you are very down-to-earth. Now that I'm giving you such an opportunity, do you want to fight for it yourself? If there is any trouble, we can discuss it, and if it really doesn't work, we can go and ask Steward Li. If Steward Li can't make up his mind, he can still ask the third uncle, what are you afraid of? ”
Rong Zheng has said this part, it is too unambitious to say goodbye to Yonggui or retreat. Don't Yonggui thought about it again and again, and finally said horizontally: "Miss Meng can afford the small one, and the small one is willing to try it." ”
With Bei Yonggui's words, Rong Zheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, don't be afraid to do big things." That's a bit of manhood. Steward Li said to help us get the goods. Don't worry about this for now. The most important thing at the moment is the account room, do you have someone who can use it? ”
Bei Yonggui thought for a while and said: "The little one knows a few people who do the bookkeeping room, and I will introduce one to the young lady another day." ”
Rong Zheng said: "Okay, the shop has just opened, and the treatment may not be as good as you were before, and I will give you a salary increase when you slowly make a profit in the future." ”
Don't Yonggui hurriedly said: "This is as it should be. ”
Since then, the opening of the shop has been officially included in the agenda. Decorating the storefront, recruiting troops, and purchasing goods are all being carried out in an orderly manner step by step. Most of Rong Zheng's mind was placed on this.
Chu Ba Rongjiang was going back to Anyang again, and before leaving, he still secretly stuffed her with a sum of money, and secretly told her: "Be cautious in everything." Get along well with your family and be obedient. ”
Rong Zheng knew that her father wanted to persuade her to repair her relationship with Ma, and Rong Zheng didn't want her father to be embarrassed, so he said: "Daddy, don't worry about going to work." My daughter is no longer the ignorant little girl she used to worry about. ”
Rong Jiang felt that Rong Zheng had grown a lot recently, and nodded with satisfaction: "Good boy, thank you for your hard work." If there is anything difficult to do, either write to me or ask someone to come directly to Anyang. ”
Rong Zheng nodded.
After Rong Jiang went to Anyang, Rong Zheng rarely even passed the Ma family's yard, and there was nothing else to say between the mother and daughter.
When the shop is decorated, the personnel are all on duty, and the goods are bought, the opening will be mentioned. Rong Zheng found someone to calculate, and set the opening of the second dragon on the day of February. She mainly handed over the affairs of the shop to Bie Yonggui, and hired another account office. Rong Zheng plans to let Bei Yonggui help recruit a guy to deal with it first, and then add manpower when the business is good in the future, and he can't be busy. With Steward Li to help with the purchase, he can slowly let Bie Yonggui take over the matter. Whether it is Bie Yonggui or Rong Zheng, a qiē is an attempt, and many people who don't know can only slowly explore, hoping to get on the right track as soon as possible.
On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Ren, who did not come to the door, suddenly came to the Rong family.
Rong Zheng was a little surprised, didn't the second aunt come over a few days ago? Why did the third aunt come to the door?
Mrs. Ren sat down in Ma's room for a while and came to Rong Zheng's side.
Rong Zheng personally served tea and greeted her third aunt.
"Why did the third aunt have time to come over today?"
Mrs. Ren's face was not very good, and she whispered, "I came to see you on the order of the old lady." How are you doing lately? ”
Rong Zheng felt a little strange, and hurriedly said, "It's good." What about grandma? I've been doing a lot lately, otherwise I'd have gone to visit her old man's house. ”
Mrs. Ren San sighed and said, "Your grandmother is sick, you should go back and see her when you have time." She's sick for you. ”
Rong Zheng was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Third aunt, what happened?" ”
Mrs. Ren San looked at Rong Zheng's face for a while and said, "Good girl, do you have any grievances with your wife?" ”
Rong Zheng thought that the news spread really fast, and she didn't shy away from it, but she didn't want to set off any more waves, so she said indifferently: "Actually, it's nothing." ”
The old lady was so angry and angry when she heard those words, that night she cried out that her heart ached, and then she fell ill. The old lady is not at ease, let me take a look at you. Just now I was in the room over there, and I saw that the lady had a faint face, and she didn't want to deal with it. Good girl, go back and talk to the old lady about something. But there's one thing, don't scare the old lady anymore. She's such an old man. ”
When Rong Zheng heard this, he felt a little guilty, and then got up and said, "Third aunt, I'll go back to Qi's house with you,"
Of course, Mrs. Ren had nothing to say, so she agreed to go with Rong Zheng, and here she asked Rong Zheng to inform Ma. Rong Zheng said: "Just go back and let the maid say it." ”
Mrs. Ren San knew that the mother and daughter were really at odds. Now I don't care about it at all. Is it Ma who intends to frame Rong Zheng? Or is Rong Zheng's behavior out of line? In any case, when Ma said this about Rong Zheng outside, he was completely ruthless.
Rong Zheng and Mrs. Ren San rode in the same sedan chair.
On the way, Rong Zheng asked, "How do those gossiping grandma know?" ”
"How do you know, you don't know it from Mrs. Huang's mouth. This Mrs. Huang is also hateful, and she likes to spread these short stories all day long. The old lady was so angry that she turned her face with Mrs. Huang at that time, and Mrs. Huang couldn't get off the stage. ”
Rong Zheng lowered her head and thought for a while, it seemed that she had to do her filial piety in front of her grandmother. There are not many people in the world who can take her to heart like this. Mother left early, she had to at least do her part for her mother.
It seems that the matter of the hand needs to be put aside for a while. (To be continued.) )
