Chapter 103: Piercing
The people of the Ji family stayed in Bianliang for nearly twenty days, and the attitude of the county lord of Duanhui was clear, and there was no way out of the palace. Ji Ding and his wife had no choice but to go back to Fujian in a gloomy manner.
Let's say that Rong Zheng lived a few peaceful days in the Qi family, and the matter of opening the shop was not hidden from Mrs. Lu in the end.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she nodded and said, "It's good that you have this idea, it's better to run it yourself than to rent it out and earn those two dollars a year." You're a stupid girl, too, hiding all these things from us. You told us, and your uncles will help you. There are some things in your house that are not suitable for showing up, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet. ”
Rong Zheng said with a smile: "I have written down everything grandma said. ”
Old Madam Lu said again: "It's also a skill that you can manage the dowry left by your mother well. A few years ago, you asked someone to give something from the village, and I tasted it, and it tasted good. ”
Rong Zheng smiled and said: "Grandma likes it, I still don't know how to honor you." ”
"Silly boy, it's good that you have this heart."
Yun Xia was very envious when she heard that Rong Zheng had opened a shop by herself, so she pulled Rong Zheng and said, "You are so good, you can earn your own money and spend it." ”
"I just opened and I don't know if I can make money. But fortunately, my father supported it, so I had to give it a try. ”
Yun Xia said again: "It would be great if you opened a jewelry shop or a powder shop." I'll buy something from you, and you'll be cheaper. It's just a ...... who sells pen and ink."
When the nurse heard this, she couldn't help but laugh at Yunxia: "Miss is not afraid of Miss Rong being annoyed when she says this." ”
Rong Zheng smiled: "Why should I be annoyed. We sisters say this if there is anything, so that they seem to be sisters. ”
Yunxia likes Rong Zheng's refreshing temperament. Rong Zheng pulled Yun Xia to look at the pots of copper coin grass she cultivated. Because it is well cared for, the copper coin grass has survived smoothly, and new green leaves have emerged, which are round and very cute.
"Do you want to raise it, I'll give you a pot?"
Yun Xia pouted and said, "Is it troublesome to raise this?" ”
"It's okay, that ginger lady told me how to raise it. Such a pot is also very elegant in the study, and it is pleasing to the eye than what flowers are placed. ”
Yun Xia did not refuse Rong Zheng's kindness this time, and accepted a pot of copper coin grass with satisfaction.
Later, Rong Zheng sent a pot to Yun Huan and Yun Hong respectively. There were two pots left, and she kept one for herself. The last pot is going to be given to Qi Jun.
Qi Jun's pot of Rong Zheng was sent by sending red snails.
Early the next morning, Qi Jun saw the pot of green grass, and was very curious and hurriedly asked, "Who put this here?" ”
Chunya smiled: "I told the fifth master last night, but I didn't know that you forgot about it again." It was sent by Miss Rong to send the maid. ”
"Sister Rong? I've heard what flowers she grows herself, why don't she see the leaves but not the flowers? ”
Chunya shook her mouth and smiled: "I heard that this is for appreciating leaves, not flowers." ”
Qi Jun only noticed it when he heard about it. In the blue and white porcelain bowl, three or four young green seedlings look very weak, but the round leaves are very cute. Accustomed to seeing those purple and red, this new green is indeed eye-catching and refreshing.
Qi Jun said happily: "Sister Rong's mind is really different. He put on his clothes and ran straight to Mrs. Lu's courtyard.
Rong Zheng just started. The maids were waiting for her to freshen up, Qi Jun picked the corner of the curtain and looked in, but saw her sitting in front of the dressing table. The cloud-like hair was draped over his shoulders, black and dense. Qi Jun couldn't help but want to touch her hair, and the maid named Zisu was combing her hair.
A little girl who had just kept her head came in with a big copper basin, and suddenly saw Qi Jun standing by the door, startled, and shouted, "What is the fifth young master doing here?" ”
Rong Zheng turned around in surprise, and sure enough, he saw the maid pull the curtain, and Qi Jun walked in a little embarrassed.
"Early in the morning, I saw the pot of green grass that Sister Rong gave me. Come over and say thank you to my sister. ”
Grass? Grass indeed. Rong Zheng smiled: "I planted a few pots and sent one to the fifth brother, I don't know if the fifth brother can look at it?" ”
Qi Jun saw that there were all kinds of grate hairpin rings and rouge gouache on the dressing table, among which there was a beaded hairpin, and the bead on the top was very round and shiny. He couldn't help but play with it in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Sister, this hairpin has a origin." ”
Rong Zheng stretched out his hand and said, "Fifth brother take my hairpin, what to do, return it to me quickly." ”
Zi Su helped Rong Zheng casually pull a child, and he smiled and said, "I'll put it on for my sister." ”
Rong Zheng is a human being. In addition, she has read a lot of the books of talented and beautiful women that Qi Jun sent her. Suddenly, when he heard what Qi Jun said, his face was flushed, he was ashamed and angry, and he hurriedly said, "Fifth brother." What nonsense are you talking about. Don't make a fuss, I don't wear this hairpin. She said and got up.
"Little Five! You come out for me! ”
I can only hear a shout! Everyone in the room was shocked, Rong Zheng turned around and saw Second Mrs. Shen standing there, looking a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I don't know that the second aunt is here, it's rude." ”
Mrs. Shen's face was like gold paper. didn't look at Rong Zheng, stepped forward and pulled Qi Jun's sleeve and took him out. Qi Jun looked back at Rong Zheng unwillingly.
Rong Zheng said in his heart, I'm afraid that my grandfather's house won't be long over. She glanced back at Shiso and said, "Let's go forward." ”
Zi Su was still holding the hairpin in her hand, and said blankly, "Miss really doesn't wear it?" ”
Rong Zheng said: "You put it away." ”
She walked to Mrs. Lu's room, Mrs. Lu had already gotten up, and when she saw her coming, she nodded and said, "Why is it late today?" ”
Rong Zheng said apologetically: "I got up late." ”
"By the way, I vaguely saw the second wife just now, why didn't I see it in a blink of an eye?"
The maids all said that they didn't know, and Rong Zheng was naturally embarrassed to tell his grandmother what happened in the house just now. After a while, Mrs. Ren, Sister Yunxia and others all came over.
Yun Xia took the initiative to talk to Rong Zheng, and the girls cooed for a while. The Wu family came belatedly, and Mrs. Lu ordered the dinner.
Wu was a little restless because Niuniu was sick and couldn't sleep well at night these days. Seeing this, Mrs. Lu said, "You have worked hard these days, so you don't have to come early in the morning." Is Niu Niu better? ”
Wu said: "I still have some cough at night. ”
Mrs. Lu said: "These days, it is cold and hot, she is small and weak, so she naturally has to be more careful. ”
Mrs. Ren and the maids helped set the dishes and chopsticks, Rong Zheng said a few words to Yunxia absentmindedly, and also followed Mrs. Ren to put the chopsticks. At this time, Mrs. Shen came over.
When Mrs. Lu saw her, she said, "I said I vaguely saw you just now, why did you disappear again in a blink of an eye." ”
Mrs. Shen Er hurriedly said: "It's not Xiao Wu's ......" Before the words fell, she saw Rong Zheng. It was like a fish in his throat, and he swallowed back what he wanted to say, so he had to say: "He made people angry early in the morning, and I already let him eat something and go straight to the school." ”
Mrs. Lu said: "This child has been pampered since he was a child. You're very precious. Don't indulge him too much sometimes. ”
The meal was set here, and Mrs. Lu still let Rong Zheng sit next to her, but she didn't eat this meal.
Mrs. Shen never said a word to Rong Zheng from beginning to end. It wasn't until Rong Zheng helped her grandmother copy the scriptures that her heart calmed down.
I had been writing the scriptures for nearly an hour, and my neck was very sore. I took a nap for half an hour. Rong Zheng estimated that Mrs. Shen should wake up, so she went to the second room.
Mrs. Shen's cold face naturally didn't have anything to say: "I don't have anything to say, you can go back." ”
"Second Aunt...... Rong Zheng knew that the morning incident made Mrs. Shen feel uncomfortable, she used to be a mother, she used to raise a son, she could understand Mrs. Shen's feelings, but the experience is one thing, she now feels that Mrs. Shen Er blames her for this matter, and she feels that it is one thing to feel wronged in her heart.
"Second aunt. In the morning, I really didn't know that the fifth brother would suddenly appear......"
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, go back!" Mrs. Shen didn't bother to say the same thing a third time.
Rong Zheng knew that it was too much to say and be wrong now, so he was only blessed and retreated.
Second Mrs. Shen clenched her fists and complained to Mama Jin beside her: "What I said in the past, in the long run, it is inevitable that something will happen." It's only been a few days! As long as she thought of the scene when her son took the hairpin and wanted to help Rong Zheng put it on, she felt heartbroken. She is a good son, and she can't be spoiled by such a charming woman.
The wife was angry. If the old lady knew, I was afraid it would be even more difficult. ”
"Hmph. She knew it wasn't right for her. I am Xiao Wu's mother, and I naturally have the final say in his affairs. Now we have to think of a way to keep these two people away. Otherwise, I will not be at ease day and night. Now that she sees Rong Zheng, she has a thorn in her eye, and naturally hopes that Rong Zheng will go back to her Rong family. But Mrs. Lu is there. She couldn't do it, so she could only ponder it slowly.
Mama Jin took the opportunity to say to Mrs. Shen's second wife: "Madam, didn't the master say at the beginning of the year that he would send the fifth young master to study in a college in a foreign country, so it is better to send the fifth young master out now." ”
"Let him out?!" This is not a lost method, but Mrs. Shen Er is reluctant. She was reluctant to leave her little five so far, she no longer had the third child. There is such a baby Xiao Wu by her side, she doesn't want Xiao Wu to go for many years before she comes back. But could there be a better way than this right now? As long as she thought of her little five, she felt piercing when she looked at Rong Zheng's eyes, and she didn't think that an idea would work.
"Let him go? I think it's better to let the other person go. This is the Qi family, and there is no reason to raise the daughter of the Rong family. ”
"But Mrs. ......"
Second Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "This Miss Rong San is a smart person. In a few days, she will offer to go back obediently. But if you want to have a long-term plan, you must give Xiao Wu's family affairs. It's just that I haven't been satisfied with these homes. Alas, children are a debt. ”
Mama Jin suddenly thought: "Why don't you give Miss Rongsan a matchmaker?" ”
"I give the media? Can't that old lady hate me to death? I don't know what she has in mind, so it's not going to work. ”
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Mama Jin can't do it.
Mrs. Shen Er deliberately wanted to meet Rong Zheng coldly, and since that day, she has never spoken to Rong Zheng again, and she will not see her again in the afternoon. Rong Zheng knew that Mrs. Shen had a bad feeling in her heart, and she had words of suffering. Only discussed with Zisu: "Let's move back after the Spring Banquet." ”
Zi Su felt that there was someone in the Qi family Rongzheng who was really loved, and once she left here and went back, she had to face the Ma family, she felt wronged, so she said: "I'm afraid that the old lady won't allow it." ”
"Look at the second aunt now, do I still have the face to live anymore? Grandma, I'll talk to her well. ”
Shiso was also a little helpless.
Regarding the suspicion between Mrs. Shen and Rong Zheng, naturally they did not escape the eyes of Mrs. Lu. She didn't understand what was going on at first, but she thought that Rong Zheng had collided with her second aunt, and later learned the ins and outs of the matter from the little maid's mouth. After hearing this, Old Man Lu sighed and said: "This second wife is also making too much of a fuss, doesn't she make our sister Zheng faceless?" I'm going to have to bang her for a good time. It's about to be twenty-three, and it can't be that these two people still avoid each other and don't see each other that day, and let our sister Zheng be wronged. ”
Old Madam Lu thought so, so she asked Xiuzhu to pass on the second Mrs. Shen to come over.
When Mrs. Shen heard the old lady's summons, she had to put down what she was doing and hurried over. On the way, she asked Xiuzhu: "Do you know what the old lady is looking for me?" ”
Xiuzhu mentioned: "I'm afraid it has something to do with Miss Rongsan." ”
Second Mrs. Shen's heart sank, and she secretly said that this old lady seemed to be going to ask her for revenge.
Soon arrived at Mrs. Lu's side, Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows and saluted, before her body could be blessed, Mrs. Lu pointed to an embroidered pier in front of her and said, "You sit there." Then he withdrew the maid beside him.
"I wonder why the old lady came to me?"
"What's the matter? You also think that I am old and useless. There is such a granddaughter in front of me, I want to love and love well, and you will also come to block me. I also asked her to follow you to learn the rules, so that you could raise her like Sister Xian'er. I heard that you haven't even seen each other recently, and you won't talk to her. Could it be that our sister Zheng bumped into your second wife! ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she hurriedly stood up and said in surprise, "Old lady, where did you start with this?" ”
"Where to start...... Sit down. I know you feel sorry for Xiao Wu. It's nothing to be eccentric for the sake of your son. Usually you also say that I am eccentric, I am eccentric. My only daughter raised such a Zheng sister, and the stepmother in her family didn't want to see her, I don't feel sorry for her, who feels sorry for her. After all, she is also the blood and blood of our Qi family. I just thought that this child had a hard life, and he was little without a mother. She is so cute and well-behaved. is sensible and very distressing. It's just that she is the eldest daughter who lost her mother, and those people outside look down on her, so the marriage has been delayed again and again. So I was afraid that I would wronged her, so I planned to give Xiao Wu to her. It just so happens that the two are the same age, and they look the same as the golden boy and jade girl in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In the future, you will be both her aunt and her mother-in-law, for my sake, for the sake of her dead mother's face, you will never treat her badly. ”
For the first time, Mrs. Lu brought this matter to the table, but Second Mrs. Shen was shocked when she heard it. She doesn't want Rong Zheng to be her daughter-in-law. She will not let Mrs. Lu get her wish in this matter. (To be continued.) )
