With the fifty taels of emergency given by Rong Jiang, Rong Zheng can rest assured that he can add makeup to Ziying.

She also carefully planned the fifty taels in her hand, it was beautiful and affordable, and the money had to be used on the blade. From buying jewelry, to buying fabric and tailoring clothes for Ziying, and adding rouge gouache, there are a lot of things to buy. Except for the clothes that can be bought from their own silk and satin village, the shopkeeper only collects some money symbolically and saves a sum, and the rest of the expenses are not small.

There are not many people available around Rong Zheng, and she handed over the matter of buying a dowry for Ziying to the nurse. Xiao Wang's family was able to draw up a list for Rong Zheng according to the amount of money.

Rong Zheng glanced at it and said, "The ability is limited, so it's already good." You can take it and show it to Ziying. ”

Xiao Wang said with a smile: "If you marry a maid like this, the Rong family is afraid that it will be the first one." Miss still said that it is not good, so what is good. Ziying followed Miss, which was her blessing. ”

Not long after, Ziying thanked Dade and kowtowed to her with satisfaction.

It's April in the blink of an eye. Spring is gradually coming to an end, and the jacket is replaced by a single shirt. The curtain in Ma's room has been hung with black lacquered bamboo curtains.

The eighth day of the fourth month is the day of bathing the Buddha, and it is also the birthday of Rong Zheng.

Just entered April, and people came in one after another to give birthday gifts to Rong Zheng.

Two Zhuangzi sent people to send things to Rong Zheng, and Xu Lizhuang was Chang Fugui's lady who came over, and sent 50 eggs, 20 bunches of noodles, as well as two big fat ducks and two big geese. Mei Fen's mother came over from Lutang, and brought Rong Zheng some home-dried vegetables, as well as pickles made by herself, a small jar each, and also fifty eggs, and a jar of honey that Bai Shengchun finally took out also came.

These things were placed on the ground, Rong Zheng kept some for himself, and gave some of the rest to his father, and some to Sanfang. gave the two mothers-in-law a purse, which contained two taels of silver. He also gave them a table of wine in the kitchen and invited them to eat. When the two Zhuangtou ladies left, Rong Zheng also selected two pieces of cloth from the treasury to give them clothes.

The two kowtowed to Rong Zheng happily.

Two more days passed. The Qi family sent Mama Meng to give gifts to Rong Zheng as usual, from Mrs. Lu to the two aunts, several cousins, and the cousins gathered a box full of things.

Rong Zheng left Mama Meng to drink tea. As usual, there was a first-class reward, and Mama Meng.

After Ziying got married, Rong Zheng brought Ruyi up to help her manage the affairs in the room.

In this room, Shisu took the list and read it, and counted the number as he wished. Halfway through the o'clock, Rong Zheng came in. She glanced at a pile of things. From treasure toys to handkerchief fans, there are many names. She looked at these things, and said that her grandfather's family had loved her.

Not only her grandfather's family, but also Du's mother came to visit her in person, and gave Rong Zheng two pairs of shoes made by herself. One color of water red embroidered with the pattern of the eyebrows, one color of willow green embroidered yellow oriole embroidered shoes. It is placed on the kang head upright, which is very cute.

Rong Zheng was more than polite to Du Mu, but he never became affectionate. She left Du's mother for lunch, and Du's mother went to the third room.

Du Shi was a little surprised to see her sister-in-law coming.

"Why did my sister-in-law come here?"

Du Mu smiled: "I went to see the third lady. ”

Du Shi came to his senses. Shaking his head, he said, "Look at my memory, it's the Buddha Bathing Festival in a few days." Are you here as a birthday gift for Miss Three? ”

Du Mu smiled: "I made two pairs of shoes for her, and I don't know if they fit or not, anyway, I enlarged them a little, thinking that the third lady is growing her body when her feet are growing fast." ”

Du Shi warmly greeted Du's mother for tea, and said: "A piece of your heart, just send it." I heard that her family gave her a box of birthday gifts. ”

"Yo, that's generous."

"Why is it not generous, the Qi family is such a granddaughter. Don't feel sorry for her, who does she feel sorry for. By the way, do you want to come over for the Buddha Bathing Festival, and when the time comes, let's go to the Great Xiangguo Temple to incense, okay? ”

Du Mu smiled and said, "Of course I want to come." I'm going to go to the second room to ask for a bowl of shou noodles to eat. ”

Du Shi was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "The third lady will be thirteen years old soon, I'm afraid that after the Dragon Boat Festival, I should discuss marriage, right?" ”

Du Mu was surprised: "So fast? ”

"It's not too fast, it's about this age, and there are not a few people who have settled down. But it's just my guess, after the second uncle's service is full, he will have to wait for the transfer of the imperial court. When the official position goes up, I am afraid that it will be easier to say goodbye to the third lady. If you really like Miss Three. You still have to plan as soon as possible. ”

Du Mu's eyes sank, and she said slowly: "What can I plan, you also know our family's family background." I'm afraid that the second room can't be looked down upon. Earlier, you said that you wanted to let Brother Hong have a reputation before you went to propose, but now I think about it, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. ”

Du Shi sighed: "This is also fate." It depends on whether Brother Hong has this blessing. ”

Du Mu arrived: "It depends on the hospital test here." If you pass the hospital exam, you can be regarded as famous. Next year will be the year of Dabi, and it will be good to wait for the township test. ”

Du Shi secretly said that it is not so easy to lift people, and some people have not entered from Xiucai to lifting people after taking the exam all their lives. The situation of the Du family is somewhat specific, and if Brother Hong wants to achieve something in the future, he really has to find a wealthy Yue family to help him in the future.

"You have made up your mind that you want to marry the third lady of the Rong family, so it's better to get an idea as soon as possible."

Du Mu frowned and said, "So I came to discuss with you." ”

Du Shi smiled bitterly: "I don't have any good ideas for the time being." ”

Du's mother sat in front of her sister-in-law for a while, and then went to Du Hong's room. The serving Siqin and Zhishu came to visit, and Du's mother asked Du Hong about his food, clothing, and homework.

Si Qin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs., our master has worked very hard in his studies." It is said that he has always been praised by Mr. Chang. I think it will definitely happen this year. ”

"If you can't pass the exam, there's no hope."

Siqin and Zhishu comforted Du Mu a few more words. Du's mother sat for a while, knowing that it was still early for the school to disperse, and she couldn't wait for her son to come back, so before leaving, she explained to Si Qin: "When Brother Hong comes back, you tell him." Miss 83's birthday gave him an expression. Don't be disrespectful. ”

Although Si Qin agreed, there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

"What? What's the difficulty, is it a lack of money? Du Mu hurriedly untied a purse on her body, and there were a few pieces of loose silver in the purse, which was estimated to be two or three taels.

Si Qin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not that there is a lack of money. ”

"Why is that?"

Si Qin had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Mrs. doesn't know yet, now we don't move around much with the third lady." ”

"Ahh Du Mu was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "What happened?" Brother Hong offended the third lady? ”

Si Qin said: "The slave and maid can't say it, but it's really not as close as before." I don't even dare to send us to greet us now. It seems that the third lady also wants to cut off contact with us. ”

Du's mother was surprised, but she was more sad for her son, she said slightly: "It's just a lost mother's eldest daughter, and she looks down on us in her eyes." It's too arrogant. She couldn't help but think of Rong Zheng's previous style, and I heard that he was also arrogant. thought that if it weren't for her father being an official in the court, he would have mentioned Brother Hong a lot, and the family was quite solid, she was reluctant to let such a woman enter the door of the Du family.
