After all, Rong Yonglu's relationship was not in vain, after the Lantern Festival, Rong Yonglu finally embarked on his official career under the sponsorship of several ministers in the court.

Rong Jue Jinshi and the first, for some reason, only sent a county official under the jurisdiction of Tianshui. Coincidentally, Rong Meiniang's father-in-law, Yao Zhunxiu, was sent to Tianshui by Yao Zhongling to be the governor, and it was the brother-in-law who became the parent official of the county under the jurisdiction of his brother-in-law.

It is said that Rong Jue is just seventeen years old this year, and it is not a shame to be the head of a county. But Mrs. Cheng heard that Rong Xi was waiting in front of the palace for a while, and her heart immediately panicked.

When Mrs. Cheng saw Meng Lingju, she also lost her usual enthusiasm, "Didn't you say that your Meng family can ensure that Rongjue is at least an official from the sixth grade?" Mrs. Cheng's face was full of reproach. Meng Lingju didn't dare to answer immediately, since she had no children, Rong Jue had been a lot colder to her, and now she couldn't help him climb to a higher career, Meng Lingju felt that she was three points shorter. After all, it was she who climbed Rong Jue in the first place......

Mrs. Cheng was even more unhappy when she saw Meng Lingju's thick lips, "Your mother said so much when she came to the Spring Festival, she didn't say anything anymore?" ”

Meng Lingju's face turned the color of pig liver, and he snorted: "My cousin has only sealed a ...... from the seventh grade."

It's good that Meng Lingju didn't say this, but when he said this, Cheng Fu's thin lips moved with anger, and his narrow eyes were cold and terrifying. "Can your cousin compare with Rong Jue? How many places did your cousin Jinshi take? You girl really doesn't know where your elbow turns, and you actually compare your cousin with Rong Xi, can your cousin manage your food or your clothes......"

Mrs. Cheng's words smashed into Meng Lingju like a cannonball, and she could only tears roll in her eyes with grievances.

"Am I wrong about you? What to cry about! The family is just getting better. Look at your crying face and get angry! Mrs. Cheng turned her face away, and the north window of her room could see the direction of Mu Xiyuan. It has been a few months since the construction of Muxi Garden, and Mrs. Cheng has never been interested in going in to see it. Even a few days ago, Mrs. Jiang and the others moved back to live, and Mrs. Cheng just didn't think it was like this.

If she hadn't gone to the old lady's place in the morning to say goodbye and heard the old lady mention Rong Xi's matter, Mrs. Cheng really forgot about the people in Mu Xiyuan......

"My cousin is going to marry Tianshui on the eighth day of the fifth month."

Mrs. Cheng was stunned, "Meng Lingmei? Isn't she going to marry the eldest son of the protector? ”

"Mother-in-law doesn't know that Uncle Wen suddenly contracted a vicious disease and died in early February!"

"Then your cousin is getting married so soon? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed? She has a marriage contract with the Protector of the Kingdom? As soon as Mrs. Cheng spoke, she felt inappropriate. Meng Lingmei and Meng Lingju are cousins, of the same clan and clan. She dislikes the daughter of the Meng family for not abiding by the way of chastity and martyrdom. is undoubtedly a pot of for himself.

Mrs. Cheng coughed hurriedly and pretended to regret: "It's a pity that this good marriage!" ”

Meng Lingju smiled and didn't say anything, but she sneered in her heart, Mrs. Cheng heard that Meng Lingmei was going to marry the eldest son of the Protector of the Kingdom. It's a candidate who can't inherit it. Immediately change your face. This will again pretend to be compassionate......

"But how could your cousin marry the prefect of Tianshui? As far as I know. The prefect of Tianshui has two Chinese New Year's Eve today, and his appearance is not bad, as if he already has a wife. Mrs. Cheng finished. I already knew in my heart that Meng Lingmei was marrying someone else as a concubine, which was worse than marrying into the Protector's Mansion!

"This is what is often said to be fate! Just like me and Rong Jue. ”

Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips, Meng Lingju was able to marry her Yonglu Building, she really cultivated it in her previous life, no matter how you look at it now, Meng Lingju is not worthy of Rong Jue......

Meng Lingju said to herself, it turned out that the Protectorate Mansion was reasonable, and when Uncle Wen died, he did not force Meng Lingmei to be a chaste daughter-in-law in the past. took the initiative to divorce the Meng family. Just in time for Shi Ning, the prefect of Tianshui, to report to Beijing, heard about it, and when he returned to Tianshui, he went around to Suzhou and proposed to Meng Lingmei's father. Meng Lingmei's father was worried about Meng Lingmei's marriage, so he made a decision right away......

"Master Shi's wife just died a few years ago, and my cousin marrying him is a good marriage." Meng Lingju suddenly felt a little sad, her marriage to Rong Jue was a continuation. Unexpectedly, Meng Lingmei was also a man who married his dead wife. Could it be that the girls of the Meng family have all fallen into evil?

Mrs. Cheng sighed, Rong Jue was sent under the jurisdiction of Tianshui, and of course Mrs. Cheng had carefully inquired about Rong Jue's top boss. But she still leaked some news, it turned out that Shi Ning had killed his wife! Then Meng Lingmei married the prefect's wife, and this relationship is only good for Rong Jue, no harm!

Mrs. Cheng's narrow eyes provoked a smile and asked Meng Lingju to go to Muxi Garden with her to take a look. "I want to see if the original fool can really carp over the dragon gate, and he can't become a king!"

……

Jin Yuan invited Mrs. Cheng and Meng Lingju into the house to talk, but Mrs. Cheng didn't hear it. Meng Lingju was even more staring, and he had to let Luo Yan call them.

"I think the fourth grandmother has misunderstood, my father-in-law is running around, I have to be busy with a few businesses, it's too late to make money, how can I be arrogant!"

"This is quite good, you must know that the Rong family is supported by our Yonglu Building, don't think that it is great to win a Jinshi. You go and see, except for Muxi Garden and Baifu Garden, the rest of the courtyards and atriums are repaired, renovated, and maintained, which ones are not patched up by Yonglu Building. Since you can make money, you should also ask your mother-in-law to pay the previous fees, and I helped pay the dowry when I married you when I entered the door......"

The more Mrs. Cheng spoke, the more energetic she became, Luo Yan just laughed and said nothing, Rong Xi was coming back, and this joy could make her tolerant of malicious slander.

"Second sister-in-law!" Mrs. Jiang stood behind Mrs. Cheng with a flushed face. The money she borrowed from Mrs. Cheng was indeed not repaid, but she didn't want Mrs. Cheng to leak the bottom in front of Luo Yan, which was really embarrassing. "Second sister-in-law, don't say it again, if the second sister-in-law is free, I will go to the account room with you now to make up the arrears."

"I've always been curious, how could the third master be so stupid at the beginning, how could he marry a smart and clever lady! It turned out to be a rich dowry by borrowing money! No wonder you Luo sisters all go to Rongfu to marry. Is the Locke family so short of money? It's still a bad time in Jiangdu, I heard that when your sister got married, she also asked for a lot of dowry, but a good lady from a good family would rather be a continuation! Luo marries and sells his daughter, but there is really a set of ......"

Meng Lingju threw all the grievances that Mrs. Cheng gave her just now to Luo Yan, her thick lips turned over, and she almost wanted to drown Luo Yan with spittle. After she finished speaking, Luo Yan smiled, looking at Meng Lingju and smiling like a spring flower.

Meng Lingju suddenly realized something, and his face turned green.

Mrs. Jiang's face was even more embarrassed, and letting Luo Yan accompany her to be embarrassed at this time was really more uncomfortable than being humiliated herself.

"What are you doing in a daze, help the third grandmother into the house, the sun will be scorching!" Mrs. Jiang just wanted Luo Yan to leave quickly, out of sight and out of mind.

"The fourth grandmother is very right! My sister and I did receive the bride price from the Rong family, which was the respect and love of the in-laws for us. Unlike those who carry a lot of dowry to their in-laws' families, outsiders only say that the daughters who can't marry are posted to their in-laws, which is self-depreciation! But then again, scarcity is precious, and love is more precious. Is the love of husband and wife measurable by the dowry? ”

Luo Yan saluted Mrs. Jiang, "Mother-in-law has worked hard, it's time to rest now." As for the account that the second lady said, just let Mama Zhu go over. How much money is needed to come to my house and get it! ”

After Luo Yan finished speaking, she turned around and entered the house to bring the door, and Mrs. Cheng and Meng Lingju outside the door looked at each other, speechless for a while...... (To be continued.) )
