Chapter 123: Marriage
In the end, Rong Jiang did not hand over the letter of resignation to Ma's hands, nor did he let Ma Kun take Ma away, but showed her another way.
"I discussed with your eldest brother and allowed you to go to the Plum Blossom Temple to practice."
When Ma heard the result, he was discouraged. Let her become a monk? How willing she was, she pulled the hem of Rong Jiang's clothes and begged bitterly: "Master, I won't go there!"
"Not going? So you're going to take a leave of absence? ”
What is the difference between this and being suspended, Ma sobbed: "I'm leaving, what should Sister Sheng do?" ”
"You, femme fatale, are still worthy to be her mother? I'll leave you two points of face, don't be embarrassed, in the end, Sister Sheng'er will be affected. Pack up and go to the plum blossom hermitage for me before the fifth day of the new year. ”
When Rong Sheng heard that he was going to be separated from his mother, he had already cried and fell to the ground, pulling Rong Jiang to intercede: "Daddy, I want my mother, I want my mother!" ”
"You follow your third aunt, and no one is allowed to intercede for her again!"
Rong Sheng cried like a tearful man.
Rong Zheng heard this decision, lowered her head in silence, and she didn't say anything.
Ma knew that the tide was over, and he had to accept this fact. Let her go to the plum blossom nunnery to practice, and she didn't say that she would be a monk, and she would come back one day. She glanced at Rong Zheng viciously, and said in her heart, Okay, you have forced our mother and mother to this point, I want to see if your tail can reach the sky.
Ma's matter is over. Rong Jiang named his newly-born son "Gui", which was the same name as the son born to Ma. raised under the name of the Qi family and became the first sister-in-law in the second room. It is enough to see Rong Jiang's love for this hard-won son.
Huiqiu's birth of Ronggui was meritorious, and Ma's loss of morality allowed Huiqiu to temporarily manage the middle feed of the second room.
A qiē made Ma feel like the sky was falling apart.
Huiqiu raised a son, and the Qi family also sent someone to send a three-trick Lilly, carved a long-lived hundred-year-old golden lock, and eight sets of four-hour clothes. Rong Jiang didn't plan to stay in Bianliang for a few days, but when Huiqiu suddenly gave birth, he had to take a few days off and wash his young son three times before leaving.
In the past two days, there are often gifts, and it is inconvenient for Huiqiu to take care of things in the confinement. Rong Jiang invited Du Shi to come over for everything. Du Shi had no choice but to agree and help with the cooking.
Ma's incident gave Rong Jiang a headache and didn't sleep well for several nights, but fortunately, he added a new son, which diluted this anger a little. He took a nap in the outer study. The little maid came to report that the eldest son of Yu Wangfu Mu asked to see him. Rong Jiang was excited, and that little drowsiness suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Let him in!"
After a while, the little servant led a young man in. Rong Jiang sat on the Taishi chair behind the bookcase and did not move, raising his eyes to look. I saw Mu Xuan wearing a purple and gold crown, dressed in autumn-colored silk and straight face. Ordinary people wear autumn fragrances, and most of them are lined with black and yellow. But when this color came to him, it made him look like Fu powder.
Mu Xuan saluted Rong Jiang, and Rong Jiang nodded and said, "You are well-informed and know that I have returned to Bianliang." ”
Mu Xuan didn't shy away from it, and said with a smile: "Cui Shangzhou should have come to visit as soon as he came back, but he stumbled over something temporarily, and he didn't leave for a while." How are you doing? ”
Rong Jiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'm a new father again, so it's naturally good." ”
Mu Xuan hurriedly asked Pingkang, who was accompanying him, to present the congratulatory gift, and said, "Sister said that this is a great joy and should be congratulated." ”
Rong Jiang said: "Lord Lao bothered. ”
The scholar offered tea. After dividing the guest of honor and sitting down, Rong Jiang thanked Mu Xuan first, and said, "Sister Zheng'er has made this matter clear in her letter, and I am really grateful to you for saving her life." If it weren't for the coincidence that you saved her, the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”
Mu Xuan hurriedly said: "These are all as they should be. ”
Rong Jiang said again: "Feng Yi's matter is also thanks to you, otherwise I'm afraid that we will still be in the dark." Let the little girl be wronged. ”
Mu Xuan said: "It's the third lady who helped Wansheng, and Wansheng will naturally do her best." ”
"Did you and Sister Zheng know each other before?"
Mu Xuan didn't know what Rong Jiang meant when he suddenly asked this, so he replied thoughtfully: "When I was still in Puci Temple in the past, the third lady came to avoid the rain and met by chance. Later, thanks to the third lady, she took in the son of the late-born nurse. After coming and going, I gradually became acquainted. "Beat him to death, he didn't dare to say that he was in the palace, he almost strangled Rong Zheng to death.
Rong Jiang twisted his beard and said: "I see, it is also fate. ”
Seeing that the timing was right, Mu Xuan hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, "Lord Rong." Late life is willing to ask to marry Miss Rongsan, please be gracious! ”
Rong Jiang said, "You get up." ”
Mu Xuan knelt on the ground, leaning forward with her upper body in front of her, very respectful.
"Are those promises you made in Anyang true or false?"
Mu Xuan said: "I never speak in my later life. ”
"Well, I remember every word you ever said. You get up first! ”
It's not that Rong Jiang hasn't thought about Rong Zheng's life these days. The rumors in front of Ma have made Sister Zheng's reputation not so good, and many people dislike Sister Zheng for losing her biological mother early. And now it's happening again. Most of Bianliang knows about it. Where can I find a very wishful family for Sister Zheng'er? He didn't want his daughter to marry too far. Sister Zheng will be fourteen immediately, and he has to settle down before, otherwise how can he give an explanation to the dead Ah Mei. Thinking of this, he scolded Ma Shi thousands of times in his heart.
He looked at the young man in front of him cautiously again, his background, appearance, conversation, and knowledge really made him unable to pick out anything. It's just that what if he looks away from him. Otherwise, it will ruin Sister Zheng's life.
"Do you regret what happened today?"
Mu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Late life and eternal life will not." ”
Rong Jiang Zhengse said: "You let your father find someone to come to the door to propose." ”
When Mu Xuan heard it, this was a promise. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he was busy giving Rong Jiang a favor.
Rong Jiang said: "I hope you can remember what you once said and treat Sister Zheng well." ”
"Late life will definitely not disappoint Lord Rong."
Rong Jiang didn't keep Mu Xuan much, and sent Mu Xuan away, and Rong Jiang went straight to Rong Zheng's room.
Rong Jiang first expressed his gratitude for the events of the first two days: "When Hui Qiu gave birth to your brother, it was thanks to you who took care of you, so there was no chaos. ”
"At that time, the situation was urgent, my father was not at home, and the maid in her room found me, so I couldn't sit idly by. No surprises. ”
Rong Jiang said: "It must be your mother who is blessing this child." You kid should have given me that recipe in the first place, and the latter wouldn't have happened. ”
Rong Zheng said: "Daddy just went to Anyang at that time and was undecided, how can I trouble you again." Besides, nothing happened in the end. ”
Rong Jiang felt that it was fortunate that his daughter had stopped Ma's evil deeds, otherwise he was afraid that he would really catch the medicine according to the prescription, where would he have any son, and he thought that his daughter had been wronged because of his negligence over the years. Said sincerely: "No matter what, I still let you be wronged, and I will add a few more to your dowry in the future to give you a long face." ”
Rong Zheng said a little shyly: "Why did you suddenly talk about this again." I still want to serve my dad for a few more years. ”
"Fool, I'm afraid we'll have to wait. The Mu family couldn't wait. ”
Rong Zheng didn't come back to his senses for a while, and said with a smile: "What does it have to do with the Mu family?" ”
Rong Jiang was a little unwilling to say: "Sister Zheng, just Mu Xuan came to ask for marriage, I have already agreed, just wait for their palace to send someone to propose marriage." ”
"Huh?!" Rong Zheng was inexplicably surprised. Didn't her father disagree with this family business, and he rejected people before, why did he suddenly agree again, and he only had to reverse?
"You two know each other well, so you won't have much of a problem living together in the future, right?"
"But Daddy, my daughter is not very willing." Rong Zheng really didn't want to marry a husband who was destined to become a monk. That person, she has only seen so many times in total, but what kind of person Mu Xuan is, she is very unfamiliar.
Rong Zheng's reaction was also expected by Rong Jiang, and he said quite calmly: "Child." I'm afraid you can only marry him. I have tested him, and he should be a young man worthy of his life. That's it. ”
Rong Zheng felt like a burst of scorching thunder sounded above her head, the same words, in her previous life and this life, she heard it twice from her father's mouth. In two lifetimes, his father boasted that he had a good vision, but it turned out that Liao Xian was originally a scum. In this life, he said the same thing again, but Rong Zheng felt as if he had cast a spell.
"I hope that I can finish this while I am still in Bianliang, and I will also have an explanation to your mother. It's up to you to live the days ahead. You don't have to follow me to Anyang again, stay at home. Learn how to manage your house with your aunt. Rong Jiang now feels that Mu Xuan is indeed a good candidate, but he is kind to his daughter, and feels that Mu Xuan is polite and will not attack the throne in the future. There are many rules in the royal family, Rong Zheng is not a clan woman, just take care of her own small family, and there is a lot less trouble.
Rong Zheng raised Yingying's teary eyes and asked, "Daddy, do I really want to marry him?" ”
Rong Jiang was very sad when he looked at such a daughter. couldn't help but reach out and scratch her straight nose, and said, "He is kind to you, and he is in love with you for ten minutes." You shouldn't suffer a loss if you marry him. You believe in Daddy, and the husband Daddy chooses for you must be the most suitable one. Now you don't have to think about anything, just wait with peace of mind. ”
After his father left, Rong Zheng sat under the window and looked at the lush trees in the yard. She overlapped the memories of her past and present lives. Thinking of that time when she returned home from her newlywed and went to Puci Temple to offer incense, because she had a quarrel with Liao Xian, she later saw the man behind Master Yuankong in a tie robe, wearing a monk's hat, and always keeping his head down. Because she had heard a little about this person's identity, she couldn't help but look at it twice. She would have something to do with such a person in this life, she would never have imagined it anyway. If she hadn't encountered rain or Mu Ying when she came back from Lutang that day, she wouldn't have gone to the small courtyard behind Puci Temple to take shelter from the rain. If she had a general relationship with Mu Baowen, she would not have been invited by Mu Baowen to be a guest in the palace, and she would not have bumped into his conversation with Cui Shangzhou, and he would not have pinched her neck. If she hadn't saved Lei Bo at the beginning, he wouldn't have had contact with her repeatedly, and she wouldn't have stepped into Qixia Villa. If she hadn't gone to Lutang that day, he wouldn't have been in danger on the way, and he wouldn't have come forward, so much so that today in order to repay his kindness, his father would have promised himself to him.
When you think about it, this qiē seems to be destined in the dark. Maybe Rong Zheng didn't know at this time, it was because of her unintentional move, but it greatly changed the direction of Mu Xuan's life, and the fates of the two coincided.
Rong Zheng thought of the other day, in Tangli's study, he stood under his father's painting, staring like that. As the eldest son of a vassal king, what did he carry, and what did he and Cui Shangzhou complain about that time, Rong Zheng faintly felt that there must be a secret hidden in this man.
Is this kind of marriage what she wants? Rong Zheng asked herself again, if she took the same path as her previous life, she was afraid that she would never have a chance to start again.
On the morning of the fourth day of the first month of April, Ma's cloth skirt only brought a simple baggage, and reluctantly got on a plain mule cart and went to the Plum Blossom Nunnery.
Rong Sheng cried in the dark when he saw his mother gone, and he didn't eat or go out of the door. The maid who served in front of me had no choice but to run to report to Yu Rongjiang that he knew.
After hearing this, Rong Jiang frowned and said, "Hungry her for a day, see if she eats or not." ”
Huiqiu hurriedly said: "Although the fifth lady is still young, she is also very sensible, I am afraid that this matter will cause too much trauma to her, and it will not be able to heal for a while." If she doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid it will affect her for the rest of her life. ”
Rong Jiang said: "Her mother should taste the bitter fruit of the evil she has done." If she knew what her mother had done, she would not forgive her. Children are young, and they should be guided well. I don't want the house to be smoky all day. Why let her mother go to the Plum Blossom Nunnery, I will sue her in the future. ”
Huiqiu hurriedly said: "But what should I do now, mother and daughter are connected, what if Miss Fifth falls ill?" ”
Rong Jiang felt a headache, thought about it for a while and said, "It's time to eat something, I'll let someone persuade her." You're still in confinement, so don't worry about that just yet. Let's put our minds on Brother Gui. Wait until you are out of confinement, and then take care of the affairs of the inner house. ”
Huiqiu hurriedly said: "The concubine is stupid, I'm afraid that it won't be handled well." ”
Rong Jiang said: "How to deal with it, now I can only entrust you." At the beginning, you helped out in front of Qi's family, and I saw that it was very good. Her third aunt can only let her take care of it for a few days, and there is no reason for her to worry about our room all the time. Mess it up for a while, and you'll have to handle it later. ”
Huiqiu was originally a trouble-free, but she was Qi's dowry maid at the beginning, and she served in front of her in a proper manner. There were four maids in total, and the remaining three went out to match people, and she stayed until the end. When Qi was dying, he remembered that Rong Zheng could not rest assured, so he asked Rong Jiang to take Huiqiu into the house, and let Huiqiu take care of Rong Zheng a lot. Until the new wife entered the door, there was still a place for Huiqiu to speak. She has been introverted and low-key until she became pregnant with Brother Gui.
Now that Ma is dead, Rong Jiang asked her to temporarily preside over the middle feed in the second room. Huiqiu understands the situation in the future, she is just a newly raised aunt, what foundation can she have in Rongfu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to instruct those people. The road ahead will be difficult. (To be continued.) )
