Chapter Ninety-Six: Maintenance
Rong Zheng followed Mrs. Ren back to Qi's house. She went straight to Old Madam Lu's courtyard. At that time, Mrs. Shen was serving in front of her.
When Mrs. Shen saw Rong Zheng coming, she came out and waved to her, "The old lady just went to sleep." ”
Rong Zheng heard that it was inconvenient to disturb, so he only guarded outside.
"What is Grandma's illness? What did the doctor say? "In the previous life, Mrs. Lu was very long-lived.
Mrs. Shen said: "It's better to take the medicine, and the old lady will wake up in a while, you have to comfort and comfort her." If she hadn't listened to those words, she wouldn't have fallen suddenly, and if the old man had a good one, I don't think you would be able to get by! ”
Mrs. Shen's words were a little unpleasant, but Rong Zheng didn't dare to say a word.
Mrs. Ren San thought to herself on the side: Her second sister-in-law, it's useless to talk about this at this time, Sister Zheng feels uncomfortable, isn't this adding to her blockage.
Mrs. Ren stood in front of her for a while, and then excused herself to go back to her room.
Mrs. Shen left Rong Zheng and went back to rest. Rong Zheng stayed alone in the flower hall, and it was quiet inside and outside the house. A red plum tree in the courtyard outside has already bloomed, and as long as there is some residual red, green leaves have already emerged from the branches. Winter has passed, and spring has arrived. The words of the second wife of Shicai Shen made Rong Zheng unable to let go of her heart, if there was really any accident because of her grandmother, she would never forgive herself in this life.
Rong Zheng later went directly to Mrs. Lu's inner room to guard. It wasn't until the two sticks of incense had passed that Fang heard a thin cough coming from the tent. Rong Zheng hurriedly got up.
Xiuzhu heard it outside, and hurriedly approached and asked, "Does the old lady want water to drink?" ”
Old Madam Lu said in the tent, "Give me water." ”
Xiuzhu hurriedly went to pour water, Rong Zheng walked to him, bowed his head and said, "Grandma, my granddaughter has worried you." ”
Mrs. Lu heard Rong Zheng's voice, picked up a corner of the tent, and saw Rong Zheng standing in front of the bed, and called out to the old man: "My sister Zheng!" ”
Rong Zheng bent her knees in front of the bed, and when Xiuzhu came over with water, she hurriedly hung the tent with a copper hook. Then he helped Mrs. Lu up and put a pillow behind her. He also personally ministered to the old man and drank water.
Mrs. Lu asked Rong Zheng to sit on the edge of the bed and said to her, "Silly child, why don't you tell your grandmother if you are wronged?" ”
Rong Zheng said blankly: "I haven't suffered any grievances?" ”
"And said no. Your stepmother treats you badly. You should sue me. I said to your father, take you and live next to me, who dares to despise you! ”
Grandmother's maintenance of her made Rong Zheng's heart warm. said with a smile: "I know that grandma feels sorry for me, it's okay." I've also grown up, and I'm not as out of character as I was when I was a kid. ”
"You're just too honest. Now you can live in peace and don't have to think about anything else. With your grandmother for a day, I will protect you for a day. ”
Rong Zheng's mind is now on the shop, but seeing that the old man is like this, and he is sick, he can't bear to refuse her, so he has to laugh and say: "Okay, it's all according to grandma." You can rest assured. It's just that I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare anything, so I ask my grandma to forgive me. Let me go back and make arrangements to come back again. ”
Old Madam Lu didn't let Rong Zheng go, bluffed and said, "You don't have anything to do with the house." Just send a woman back and bring your usual things. Does your stepmother dare to stop you, if she dares to say no, I will ask her face to face, now you don't want to think about anything or live with me. ”
Seeing this, Rong Zheng had no choice but to rely on her grandmother for the time being.
At that moment, Mrs. Lu arranged for the maid to clean up the house for Rong Zheng, and the eldest cousin-in-law sent a tent and something like that.
When the Yunxia sisters heard that Rong Zheng was coming, they all came to talk to her.
Mrs. Lu put Rong Zheng by her side, and then she was a little relieved, and Rong Zheng served Mrs. Lu very dedicatedly. Not negligent at all.
Yun Xian is already married, Yun Huan is wooden, she doesn't talk much, and Yun Hong is young. Yunxia was left alone for a while, so Rong Zheng came home, and the happiest person was Yunxia.
She invited Rong Zheng to sit in her room, and said to Rong Zheng with some indignation: "No wonder the old lady is so angry, even if I hear it, I am so angry." Do you know what the outside is saying about you? ”
Rong Zheng shook his head.
Yun Xia said indignantly: "I actually said that you don't know how to pity people and treat people meanly." and said that you were arrogant and unreasonable. Love to be in the limelight and like to cause trouble. These are all okay, and it's even worse to say that you, with that person with the surname or something, are privately taught and received, and it is not clear. How could the old lady stand these words? I couldn't be angry, so the old lady didn't care about her friendship with the Huang family, so she turned her face at that time. Listen to what these words are. We are good, innocent people, how can we be abused like this? ”
I don't know if these are Ma's original words, or Mrs. Huang herself has already processed them. Rong Zheng seemed much calmer. In fact, strictly speaking, she used to have some of them more or less, but now she has already changed. Ma still passed on her like this, just because he didn't want her to have a good time and lose her reputation.
"What are you going to do next?"
Rong Zheng said: "What can I do, I can't control those rumors." ”
"Alas, you are pitiful, if your aunt is still here, how can you suffer such a grievance. Fortunately, the old lady feels so sorry for you, you serve well in front of you, and she will always make decisions for you. ”
Rong Zheng listened for a long time and was speechless.
Yun Xia said again: "It's okay if you are here, we have a companion somewhat." ”
Rong Zheng nodded.
When it was almost dusk, the perilla and the red snail came. She also brought quite a few of her things.
Rong Zheng was relieved to see Zisu, so he asked her, "What does Mrs. have to say?" ”
What could she say, there was a look of displeasure on her face. It's good to stay here for a while. ”
Rong Zheng's mind is on the shop, and he finally has a charter, and now he is afraid of many inconveniences when he lives in Qi's house. She said to Zisu: "You go home early tomorrow morning and bring Xiao Lu to me." ”
Shiso hurriedly agreed.
After settling down, Rong Zheng went to Mrs. Lu's room again, and at that time, the cousins of the Qi family had all come down from school and were having fun in front of Mrs. Lu.
Qi Jun squeezed his eyes at Qi Jun, Qi Jun blushed, stepped forward in a sneer, and saluted Rong Zheng: "Sister Rong, don't come unharmed!" ”
Rong Zheng smiled and said, "Fifth brother! Are you alright? ”
Qi Jun blushed and said, "Sister Lao is very good." ”
Rong Zheng just said hello to Qi Jun, and turned his head to talk to Yun Xia again.
Qi Jun secretly pulled Rong Zheng's sleeve and said in a low voice: "I heard that Sister Rong is going to live at home for a long time, but isn't it?" ”
Rong Zheng didn't plan to stay for long. Although she has her grandmother's maintenance and can live a comfortable life for a few days, she also has something to do, and there are many inconveniences here. But seeing Qi Jun say this, because he was in front of his grandmother, he had to say, "Maybe." ”
As the brother and sister spoke, Old Lady Lu nodded at them with a smile, while Second Mrs. Shen sat in the corner. But it was gloomy.
When the uncles got off the palace, they started the meal.
Mrs. Lu asked Rong Zheng to sit next to her, and treated her very kindly, and the Yunxia sisters had to stay behind.
Rong Zheng saw that his grandmother's spirit was slightly better, and his heart was a little settled.
When it was time to eat, the second uncle Qi Xin asked Rong Zheng about her father again, and Rong Zheng got up and replied: "Daddy, he went to Anyang on the eighth day of the first month. It's all good at home. ”
Qi Xin heard that he didn't have anything else to say, so he cared about Mrs. Lu a few more words in front of him, and then went back to the room.
Second Mrs. Shen also wanted to leave, but Mrs. Lu stopped her: "Second daughter-in-law, stay for a while." I have something to say to you. ”
Mrs. Shen had no choice but to stay. When she saw that Qi Jun was still talking to Rong Zheng in front of her, both of them were full of smiles, and said coldly: "Little Wu, you have to get up early tomorrow to go to the school." Why don't you go back to your room soon, didn't Mr. stay in school? ”
Qi Jun had no choice but to agree and say goodbye to everyone.
Yun Xia asked Rong Zheng to go to her room to talk again, and said that she would sleep with her at night.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she said, "Sister Zheng lives next to me and won't go anywhere." ”
"Okay, the old lady is just eccentric."
"Why don't I hurt your sister more? Is this jealous of me? ”
Yun Xia muttered, "How dare I." ”
Mrs. Ren San pinched Yunxia's face and said, "There is no rule, you give me a few days of silence." ”
Yun Xia asked Rong Zheng to go to her room to play, and now Mrs. Lu was left with only the second Mrs. Shen and the eldest cousin-in-law in front of her. Old Madam Lu glanced at her, waved her hand and said, "There is no need to serve in front of her." You go to rest. ”
The eldest cousin and sister-in-law then retired.
When Mrs. Shen saw that the old man left her alone, she could guess what it was for.
Mrs. Lu said: "I'm okay with this illness, in the end, Sister Zheng is willing to come back to see me." ”
Mrs. Shen was busy and said: "What's good about being sick, the old lady has to be healthy to be good." ”
Old Madam Lu shook her head and said, "If it weren't for this time, I wouldn't have known that Ma Shi was so unbearable. At the beginning, Aunt Rong wanted to continue the string, but we didn't stop it, and later I heard that he married a girl from such a family. I'm not very optimistic. It's just that Ah Mei is gone, this son-in-law just occupies a name, if it weren't for Sister Zheng, I'm afraid I wouldn't walk around lightly. However, when I heard the news, I also persuaded Mrs. Qiao a few words, but Mrs. Qiao had her own plans, but she just watched the Ma family's business do well, which would help their Rong family. In the end, I didn't take our sister Zheng to heart. This Ma is really out of tune. ”
He also said: "Sister Zheng is the age at which she said that she is pro, and now that she has added those words outside, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to find a very satisfactory family." So I want Sister Zheng to live next to me before she gets married, and I'll take care of it well. I will treat her how I conditioned her mother. This girl is smart and can understand a little, so I'm afraid that someone will bring it to me. ”
Hearing Mrs. Lu say this, as a daughter-in-law and an aunt, what can Mrs. Shen say is only to echo it.
Mrs. Lu also has her own plan, that is, she hopes to let Xiao Wu and Rong Zheng have more contact, the two of them look at the right eye, and when the time comes, the elders will settle the matter, so as to save the matter from being presumptuous, and the juniors will be awkward again.
Mrs. Lu said again: "At the beginning of the year, you said that you took a fancy to the fourth lady of the Rong family and wanted to tell the fifth lady. I don't know that people still look down on us. I used to say that you took the wrong path, and you still don't believe it, but now it's okay, I see what kind of face you have when you see Mrs. Rongsan. ”
Mrs. Lu said what Mrs. Shen was thinking, and she was a little uncomfortable: "If you can't get married, you shouldn't be an enemy." It's also in-laws. Let's put Xiao Wu's affairs on the go. She naturally knew her mother-in-law's plans, and she was afraid that her mother-in-law would immediately say that she would put her little five and Rong Zheng together.
"Sister Zheng didn't educate her well when she was at home, although I can still help take a look, but I'm also older and less energetic than before, so I have to bother you to help bring it. I think it's good for you to raise a good sister. I'm afraid you'll have to think a lot about it. ”
Mrs. Shen didn't want to take this guts, anyway, she never looked down on Rong Zheng from beginning to end. Now that there are those rumors, I always think that Rong Zheng is not cherished to provoke these words, but it is not good to directly disobey the old man's meaning, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "My wife also knows that there are a lot of things in my house, Xiao Wu's affairs, and my lord's affairs, and my health has not been very good in recent years." I'm afraid it won't be thoughtful. ”
When Mrs. Lu heard her say this, she was a little unhappy, and said with a heavy face: "She is fourteen years old, and she didn't let you teach her to eat, dress and write, but just a little bit, tell her some truth, and let her learn to run a house, these won't take much of your time." ”
Second Mrs. Shen originally wanted to put such a burden on Mrs. Ren, but when she saw her mother-in-law say this, she had to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I'll try my best." ”
A smile appeared on Mrs. Lu's face, and it was not a bad thing to let this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along in advance, and they would be easy to get along with each other in the future.
"How many monthly cases does Yunxia have, let's also give the same to Sister Zheng. She brought it herself, and then gave her two little girls, two mothers-in-law, let her live in my hugging house first, and then move her place again when it is cold in winter. ”
It seems that she is going to live for a year or two, and Mrs. Shen feels a headache.
Rong Zheng temporarily lived in Qi's house, accompanied by Yunxia every day, and served Mrs. Lu very dedicatedly. Let Xiao Lu follow him to Qi's house, if there is anything on the other side of the shop, or if she has anything to order, let Xiao Lu be a mouthpiece. Both of them are still peaceful.
Don't have to face Ma's, plus her grandmother spoils her again, Rong Zheng's life is very comfortable.
Later, she learned from Yun Xia that the second wife of Shen had been a matchmaker and wanted to give Rong Xiao to Qi Jun.
Yun Xia said with a smile: "Because this matter was not successful, the second aunt was very sad for a while. Is that fourth sister of your family really that good? ”
Qi Jun and Rong Xiao didn't become husband and wife in the previous life, is there such a place in this life? Or has it been before, but she just doesn't know it?
Rong Zheng was in a trance and said, "The fourth sister is naturally good. ”
Yun Xia also has a little impression of Rong Xiao, of course, she prefers her cousin, hugging Rong Zheng's neck and laughing: "I think she is not as good as you." (To be continued.) )
