Chapter 179: Farewell
Winter goes to spring.
Rong Zheng thought that the birth of his daughter would make Mu Xuan come back to visit her new daughter, but she didn't know that she saw the letter but no one, and in a blink of an eye, her daughter was already two years old.
Rong Zheng has the company of his daughter, so that his life will not be so bleak and lonely. watched her daughter grow up little by little, and filled her emptiness little by little.
The two-year-old Sister Yuan walked in with the nurse in her arms, and Rong Zheng saw her and said, "Why don't you go by yourself and ask someone to hug you?" ”
The nurse smiled and said, "The eldest lady said, 'My legs are sore, I can't walk'." Just a little older child, you can say these things. Our eldest lady is really smart and clever. ”
"You're too used to her, she can walk herself, so let her walk more. Don't grow up and be so lazy. ”
Duan Hui came from outside, and when he heard Rong Zheng scolding her, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "How old is she, and you are so harsh on her." Which girl like us is not pampered and noble. Will you still be worried about getting married in the future? ”
When Sister Yuan saw her aunt, she squirmed to come down, and kept shouting, "Auntie!" Aunt! Hug! Then he stretched out his arms to Duanhui enthusiastically.
Duan Hui looked at her niece's smiling face, her whole heart softened, she hugged Sister Yuan in her arms, and kissed Sister Yuan's face affectionately.
The daughter likes her aunt more than her mother, which also makes Rong Zheng helpless.
"She looks exactly like Junhua when she was a child, and when I look at her, I think of Junhua."
When Sister Yuan heard them say "Junhua", she knew that it was her father, and she also shouted "Junhua" in her mouth, but she was young and her speech became "pro-China".
Poor Sister Yuan is two years old, and she hasn't seen what her father looks like.
Rong Zheng couldn't help but hurriedly corrected: "You have to call Daddy." ”
Duanhui sighed and said, "Poor our sister Yuan, we don't even know what Daddy looks like." I don't know when he'll be back. ”
Rong Zheng has long been used to it these days, she said indifferently: "You can come back whenever you want, now that Sister Yuan is with me, life is going by quite quickly." ”
The two teased Sister Yuan for a while, until Rong Zheng saw Sister Yuan yawning, so he handed over his daughter to the nurse and let the nurse carry her to sleep.
Mother Bai came in and reported: "The county lord, the eldest grandmother, Grandma Cui Qi and the little young master are here." ”
In the past two years, with the unremitting efforts of the county lord and Rong Zheng, fifteen mothers and them have finally moved very close again, and even Brother Xiang often follows in and out of the villa, just like Cui Shangzhou back then.
When Duanhui heard this, he hurriedly said, "Invite them in." ”
Under the guidance of the maid, Fifteen Niang walked in with the seven-year-old Brother Xiang and saluted the county lord. Fifteen Niang blessed Rong Zheng again. Rong Zheng grabbed her and said with a smile: "Fifteen Niang, you are too polite." ”
Brother Xiang also saluted in style.
Duan Hui grabbed Brother Xiang and looked him up and down, nodded and said, "This kid is a bit like Xiao Qi." ”
Fifteen Niang mentioned that Cui Shangzhou was not as secretive as the previous two years, and she smiled heartily: "The fifth uncle is a little similar to the seventh master, I heard our wife say that in the early years, the brothers went out together, and people thought they were siblings." ”
Duan Hui smiled: "This is true, but I am not familiar with the fifth child of your family." ”
Fifteen Niang didn't see Sister Yuan, so she hurriedly asked, "Where is Sister Yuan going to play?" ”
Rong Zheng smiled: "You think about her, she just went to sleep." ”
Fifteen Niang untied a bag she was carrying, took out a neatly folded small dress inside, as well as two glass bottles, solemnly handed the small clothes to Rong Zheng's hand, and said, "I'm idle and I'll make this little jacket for Sister Yuan." I don't know if you like it or not. ”
Rong Zheng looked at it carefully, it was a big red diagonal placket embroidered with osmanthus and jade rabbits.
"It's so beautiful, not to mention anything else, but this rabbit is really beautifully embroidered. Sister Yuan will definitely like it. ”
Fifteen Niang said a little apologetically: "When this dress was just drafted, it was during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, so osmanthus and jade rabbits were added." I don't know that the body is not good in the winter, and I didn't use the needle and thread, so I did it here. I don't know if it's going to be small. ”
"No, no, I'm afraid she can still wear it at the age of three. I thank you for her. ”
Fifteen Niang handed over the two porcelain vases to the county lord of Duanhui and said, "County lord, I know that you like jasmine, so you just made two bottles of jasmine dew." ”
Duanhui happily accepted it and said, "You are too polite." Every time you come, you always have to have a little something, and we like it when you come like this. It's okay to be a string of doors. ”
Fifteen Niang was still a little restrained in front of Duanhui, lowered her head slightly, and said gratefully: "If it weren't for your help in the past two years, how could that family be like it is now." ”
Duan Hui hurriedly said: "You and Ah Zheng are good sisters in the boudoir, when Xiao Qi was still there, the two families were very close, I have always treated him as a younger brother, you will be too much of an outsider if you are like this." ”
In the past two years, thanks to the mountain villa taking care of their mother and son, life has not been so difficult. Duan Hui knew that Brother Xiang had enlightened, and he specially wrote a letter to find a relationship to introduce Brother Xiang to a former Hanlin Confucian to sit at home. Now don't look at Brother Xiang'er is only seven years old, but he has already read "Kindergarten Learning" and "Thousand Family Poems", and I heard that he has already given him "Analects".
Brother Xiang is highly talented and diligent in learning, which is somewhat a comfort to Fifteen Niang. Fifteen Niang will never have children in her life, and she has always loved Brother Xiang as her own. Brother Xiang is also very dependent on her, and he is becoming more and more estranged from his biological parents.
Duanhui kept the fifteenth mother's mother and son to eat, and the fifteenth mother did not refuse. Brother Xiang saw that Sister Yuan woke up, so he went to play with Sister Yuan very happily, just like a big brother, and loved his sister very much.
Seeing this, Duanhui said to Fifteen Niang: "You will stay up for another ten years, and it will be easier for you to wait until Brother Xiang gets married." ”
Fifteen Niang smiled and said: "He is exceptionally obedient and sensible, which saves people a lot of heart." ”
During this period, they talked about Min's body again.
Fifteen Niang shook her head and said: "Mrs.'s body is like that, the first two years were physically and mentally injured, although she was also recuperating, but after all, she hurt her viscera, and it was difficult to heal for a while." ”
"Recuperate, you can't take it slowly."
was gossiping here, and suddenly heard Sister Yuan's cry coming in, and Rong Zheng couldn't sit still. Mei Fen hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry, the slave will go to see the eldest lady." ”
Fifteen Niang was afraid that Brother Xiang would hurt Sister Yuan, so she didn't dare to stay for a moment, so she hurriedly followed Mei Fen out.
It turned out that Brother Xiang took Sister Yuan to climb the tree, Sister Yuan was too young after all, and she couldn't climb up no matter how she climbed, so Brother Xiang had to hold Sister Yuan to the tree, maybe the strength was too much, Sister Yuan didn't like it, and she opened her mouth and cried.
When Fifteen Niang saw this scene, her face turned white with fright, and she scolded: "Brother Xiang, you don't stay honest, what are you messing around with Sister Yuan." Look at you made my sister cry. ”
Brother Xiang couldn't hear the child crying, so he was busy wiping Sister Yuan's tears, very guilty.
Rong Zheng and Duan Hui also walked out, Rong Zheng beckoned Sister Yuan to come over, Sister Yuan saw her mother, pushed Brother Xiang, and stumbled into Rong Zheng's arms. Because I walked too fast, my feet were unsteady and I fell. But she immediately got up again, didn't care about the dust on her hands, and got into Rong Zheng's arms.
Duan Hui couldn't help but persuade Brother Xunxiang when he saw Fifteen Niang: "Okay, it's all children, don't scare him." Besides, Sister Yuan is not so good. ”
The child was still crying just now, and in a blink of an eye, he forgot the pain. It didn't take long for Sister Yuan to run after Brother Xiang again, asking Brother Xiang to play with her.
At the beginning of March, Rong Zheng received a letter from Mu Xuan, saying that Mu Xuan might return to the capital after the Dragon Boat Festival. I hope Rong Zheng can take her daughter to the capital to go to the family reunion.
Rong Zheng was pleasantly surprised when he received this letter, and couldn't help but run to the Splendid Courtyard to show Duan Hui.
Duan Hui read the contents of the letter, and rejoiced: "He is finally coming back, how long has it been since he left." ”
Rong Zheng said: "Yes, our sister Yuan doesn't even know what her father looks like." He also said that I would take my daughter to the capital to meet him. The county lord will come with us, right? Rong Zheng sincerely invited the county lord.
Duan Hui stood under the window, looking out through the glass window. A Xifu begonia in the yard is blooming just right. This is a begonia tree planted by her mother herself, and she grew up with this tree. This is where the mother concubine once lived, and she was reluctant to leave here, so she thought again and again: "I won't go, let's guard the villa." When you return to Bianliang, there will be a place to stay. ”
Rong Zheng persuaded again and again, but Duanhui insisted wholeheartedly. Rong Zheng had no choice but to follow the will of the county lord.
Two days after receiving this letter, Rong Zheng was about to start working on going to the capital. Xindao must have lived there for a long time, and he had to arrange these things at home before he could leave.
It's a good plan for something else, but it's impossible to move away from the two dowry shops. The two shops have finally made some profits until now, and it is impossible to lose them. I had to call the treasurers of the two places to discuss. The shopkeepers in the two places are nothing, but the two shopkeepers are in trouble.
Ziying heard that Rong Zheng was leaving, and she also wanted to accompany Rong Zheng to the capital. This can make it difficult for Rong Zheng.
"I handed over the matter of the shop to your man, and everyone in other families is in Bianliang, so I can't let you separate your husband and wife. You might as well stay here and help with the housework and raise the children. ”
Ziying was a little unhappy and said, "Grandma, there are fewer people around the capital." What about perilla, do you take it with you? ”
Rong Zheng smiled: "Zisu is in the same situation as yours, and I also let her stay." ”
"Ruyi is dead, and Zisu and I are not by your side. Fucui and Autumn Words are also big, and it's time to talk about where to go. Grandma is becoming less and less reliable around her. ”
Rong Zheng saw that Ziying was worried about herself so much, and she was very grateful, and said with a smile: "Mei Fen, this girl can also be on her own, and Yutang is not bad." Rest assured, there are always people around me who serve. You take care of your home first. Maybe in the future, I will dispose of these two shops and reopen two more in the capital. I took both of you and went with you. ”
"Really?" Ziying's eyes lit up.
"Let's talk about it here first, and then we'll talk about it later."
Anyway, Rong Zheng's words still gave Ziying a glimmer of hope.
"I heard that your family also bought a piece of land, what is the harvest?"
Ziying said: "It's okay, at the end of last year, I made an extra load of wheat." My father-in-law is very happy. ”
After Ziying married to another family, other families treated her very well. Ziying gave birth to two sons for other families, and at the end of last year, she added a new daughter, with both children and daughters. It's enviable. Now that life is still passing, Rong Zheng is really relieved.
"You and Zisu also move around a lot, we will go back to Bianliang, and we will get together when the time comes." Rong Zheng said goodbye and brought tea. Ziying retreated with interest.
After handling these affairs, Rong Zheng drew up an agenda for going to Beijing. The steward Zhang Luo has already taken some of the cages first.
Duanhui suggested: "You guys are going to leave here, I see if you should invite you to be close, and it can be regarded as seeing off your mother and daughter." ”
Rong Zheng saw that the county lord was happy, so he agreed according to her wishes, and also mentioned it by the way: "Although we don't walk around with the mansion anymore, the third master and Wen'er over there are good friends with us." Why don't you post them too? ”
"Yes, just do as you say." Duan Hui instructed someone to draw up a list, and after it was prepared, he and Rong Zheng considered it again. Set a day for the feast, and then post everywhere.
There were a total of four tables at the banquet, and naturally there were no drama troupes or storytellers. Duanhui still invited two female singers who played the pipa.
Mu Baowen has a day now, just waiting to get married.
Rong Zheng handed Baowen a bag of things and said, "I know you must not lack anything, but I still have to give this to you." We'll meet again when we have fate. ”
Mu Baowen wants to marry in Luoyang, Rong Zheng will live in the capital, occasionally go back to Bianliang, and now he doesn't move around with the palace, and the opportunity to meet can be imagined.
"Sister-in-law!" Mu Baowen hugged Rong Zheng tightly, and said very reluctantly: "As soon as you say this, I know that it will be difficult to see the last time in the future." But I'm definitely going to look for you in the capital. When the time comes, you must lead me around the capital. ”
"Definitely, definitely."
After the turmoil at home subsided three years ago, the princess opened her mouth and did not allow the people in the house to have any private dealings with the villa. Mu Baowen didn't have a chance to come to the villa to play, but this time when she went out, Mu Ying and Baowen went to intercede several times before reluctantly agreeing.
On the day of the road, Rong Zheng boarded the carriage with his daughter and taught her daughter to wave to the lord of Duanhui.
Sister Yuan kept crying because she was reluctant to leave her aunt. Duan Hui was even more distressed when she saw her niece like this, and she really wanted to ask Rong Zheng to leave Sister Yuan behind.
"Sister! Take care. Meritus and I will definitely come back to see you. ”
After several years of marriage, this is the first time that Rong Zheng calls Duan Hui "sister" Duan Hui also waved at Rong Zheng and said: "You guys also take care, remember to send me a letter when you arrive." ”
It's time to say goodbye and leave, and Rong Zheng is about to leave the place where she was born. A new life is about to begin. In the future, there will be Mu Xuan with him, and with his daughter around his knees, he will definitely not be as lonely as he is now. Rong Zheng knew that a new page was about to be turned.
