Chapter 5: Alienation

Rong Zheng opened the letter, and when he unfolded it, the familiar handwriting had been separated by many years. There was nothing important written in the letter, it was all the short-term concerns of the parents.

Rong Zheng frowned, read the letter in three or two clicks, and threw the letter paper into the brazier, and as soon as the letter paper was touched with coals, it immediately burned.

Ziying was even more surprised, her young lady's actions were a little uncertain. In the past, Young Master Du wrote letters or brought things over, isn't her young lady very precious, she looked at it several times, and she had to carefully pick it up and put it in the dark compartment behind the chest of drawers.

Rong Zheng watched the letter burn out, and she breathed a sigh of relief, didn't say anything, just waved to Ziying and let her go down.

Du Hong, whose name is Yansheng, is the nephew of the third aunt's mother's family. Because of the middle of the family, he studied in the Rong family's family studies. I heard that there has been a lot of progress in the past two years.

My uncle is not a scholar, and he doesn't know how to write articles, so he naturally looks down on the nephew of this wife's family. But Du Hong got close to their room. The reason is that at the beginning of the year, Du Hong wrote an article and asked his father to help him read it, and his father praised it greatly, and gave Du Hong an inkstone carved with mountains and rivers on the spot. Maybe it's because the father doesn't have a son's relationship, so he became a little closer to Du Hong, and he went to the school to greet Mr. and take good care of Du Hong.

Rong Zheng and his cousin Rong Xiao are close, Du Hong is Rong Xiao's cousin, and he often comes here to find his father, so they are very familiar with each other. Du Hong was born handsome, literary, and personable, and the former Rong Zheng fell in love with him. Rong Zheng is a pampered and expensive young lady, with a good appearance, Du Hongyan can not like it. The two exchanged things and exchanged letters in private, and it has been more than half a year in the blink of an eye.

If Rong Zheng in the past would naturally have a little infatuation, but the experience of her previous life told her that it was impossible for her and Du Hong to come together. Those people have been beating her up for a long time, waiting for her to show her feet when she will come out, and then ruin her reputation. In her previous life, she was so stupid that she was led by the nose, otherwise how could she marry the Liao family in Nanyang.

After Rong Zheng was reborn, for the first time, she re-examined the situation around her, how to go in the future, she faintly had a goal.

It's just that if you want to get things done, you have to have useful people. Rong Zheng has no brother to rely on, although Ma added a half-brother to her later, but the age is far away, and there is a layer of belly, which is not available after all. Then there are her two cousins in the third room, one has the same character as her uncle, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and is extravagant, and the other likes to read, but unfortunately he is a nerd, and he didn't win the game until the end. I heard that I married a young lady from the prefect's family and lived with the money of the public school. Later, when he heard that his uncle intended to take him to do business, he was able to concentrate on his studies and manage a few shops.

After thinking about it for a while, there really wasn't much to use. Rong Zheng was a little dizzy when he thought about it.

"Miss, my uncle and wife have sent something here."

Rong Zheng came back to his senses from the chaotic thoughts, and hurriedly said, "I know, please sit in the flower hall." I'll go over it. ”

She got up and straightened her dress, and straightened her hair in the mirror before hurrying to the flower hall.

Rong Zheng walked out of the warm pavilion, passed through the east room, and walked for a while before arriving at the flower hall.

The uncle's wife sent her own roommate, Mama Meng.

As soon as Rong Zheng stepped into the door, Mama Meng stood up, saluted Rong Zheng with a smile, and said, "Miss Biao, our wife asked the old slave to bring you something." ”

Rong Zheng smiled and thanked him, invited Mama Meng to sit, and asked Ziying to serve a bowl of autumn tea.

"Is my grandmother still healthy? How about the eldest uncle, the eldest aunt, the second uncle, the second aunt? Are my sisters and brothers all right? ”

Mama Meng smiled and answered one by one.

Rong Zheng was relieved to learn that the elders were fine. Now in addition to the Rong family, the Qi family is her closest person.

"The old lady often talks about you, and says that she will send someone to pick you up after the New Year and live there for a while. Miss Cousin didn't know that now the marriage of the second miss has been decided. ”

Rong Zheng heard that her second cousin's marriage was decided, and she also asked for her second cousin: "Which family is it?" ”

Mama Meng smiled: "It's the nephew of our eldest wife's cousin." ”

In the previous life, her second cousin was married to the nephew of her eldest uncle's family, and she almost forgot about it, so she said angrily: "Why didn't anyone come to inform us of such a big event, otherwise we would have liked to say hello to my second cousin." ”

Mama Meng pursed her lips and smiled: "The old lady of the Rong family's clothes are not yet full, thinking that the Rong family is not going to be a relative, so the wife did not let me notify." ”

Rong Zheng is not good at saying anything.

Mama Meng got up again and said, "I still have to go and say hello to my lord and wife." ”

Rong Zheng understood and asked Zisu to reward Mama Meng with a tael of silver, and said: "The weather is cold, I am tired of Mama running this trip." Take it to buy wine and eat. Also, please help me tell my grandmother that I will visit her old man when the Festival of Lights is free. ”

Mama Meng smiled and thanked her.

Rong Zheng also instructed Zisu to send Mama Meng to the upper room. Mama Meng retreated, with a smile on her face, but she thought in her heart, this Miss Cousin looks a lot more stable and sensible, and it seems that she has grown up. Now the old lady should always rest assured.

Rong Zheng asked people to untie the two boxes that were still tied with splints on the ground. Xiao Wang helped Rong Zheng open the box, and immediately froze, and couldn't help but sigh: "Third Miss, the Qi family is really generous, giving you so many good things." ”

Rong Zheng stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, the box was full of things, from pen, ink, paper, inkstone, sachet and jade, and two pieces of cloth. All are high-quality Hangzhou silk. For such a horse, their shop costs five taels of silver each.

Rong Zheng asked Zi Su and Zi Ying to help her pack up her things, except for some of them for her own use, and the rest for giving away. From the father, uncle, aunt, etc., to the neighbors who serve around them, there are different intimacy, and the things she gives are also different.

Even the big girl who served Rong Xiao in the third room got a string of glass beads. In Rong Zheng's gift list, Du Hong is excluded. She deliberately forgot about him, and she didn't want to have anything to do with that man in this life.

Rong Zheng acted generously and won everyone's appreciation for a while. Rong Zheng smiled slightly, very generous and decent. She didn't do this in her previous life, although she lived freely, but she could win the joy of her elders, and she would be able to live a more comfortable life in the future, and she was willing to please.

The foreign family gave her so many things, naturally because her grandmother and aunts felt sorry for her. The mother left early, leaving her a single seedling, and the Qi family was worried that the stepmother was not good for Rong Zheng, so they thought of Rong Zheng everywhere, so they were extraordinarily generous.

"Daddy, my grandmother sent someone to tell me that she wanted to invite me to live in Qi's house for a while."

Rong Jiang nodded and said, "Mother-in-law misses you, it's okay for you to go and live for a while." ”

Rong Zheng didn't want to stay at home to see Ma's face, so he naturally hid as far as he could. When she came out of her father's study, she happened to meet Du Hong, who had come to greet her father.

Both of them were stunned, Rong Zheng bowed from afar and left from elsewhere, the two just looked at each other and didn't even say a word.
