After Du Hong came back, Du Mu had already left.

Siqin served Du Hong diligently and talked about Du's mother's intentions.

Du Hong was silent after hearing this, holding the book tightly in his hand, his eyes had long been frozen.

After a while, he said: "I remember that her birthday was to be lively in the past, and it was not good for us to pretend not to know if we lived here." I know what to do. ”

He hadn't seen Rong Zheng for a long time, maybe even he couldn't remember, but now what he wanted was to get ahead, become strong as soon as possible, and no longer act under other people's roofs and look at other people's faces.

Soon it was the eighth day of the fourth month, and early in the morning, Rong Zheng asked Zisu to change her into newly made clothes. Pink embroidered crewneck blouse and garnet red silk skirt. There is a gold embroidered purse hanging on the waist, and a big red palace silk hangs, and a piece of Han jade carved diamond flower is tied on the silk side. He also combed his hair in a drooping bun, wore a hair crown inlaid with coral beads, and wore a pair of pearl earrings on his white jade earlobes.

Rong Zheng looked at the girl with bright eyes and bright teeth in the target mirror, as pretty as a flower blooming on the branches in March. At this time, she can be beautiful without fat powder.

Zi Su and Ruyi waited for Rong Zheng to wear makeup neatly, and the maids in the house came to kowtow to Rong Zheng one after another.

Rong Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Let's all have a good day." ”

Then she took Shisu to the upper room, Rong Jiang drank tea in Ma's room, and Rong Sheng did needlework in the bright room next door.

Rong Zheng saluted his parents, Rong Jiang looked at his charming daughter and said with some emotion in his heart: "I am one year older, and I will go to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense in front of the Bodhisattva." ”

Rong Zheng agreed with a smile. Ma gave Rong Zheng a purse containing a silver bun in the style of plum blossoms left over from the Chinese New Year.

Rong Zheng saluted Ma and thanked him. Rong Sheng came out to congratulate Rong Zheng. A family of four sat together and ate a bowl of noodles. Du Shi came over with Rong Xiao, and the mother and daughter congratulated Rong Zheng on his birthday.

Rong Xiao pulled Rong Zheng aside to speak, and Rong Jiang instructed a few words to be careful when going out and went to the outer courtyard.

Rong Xiao's birthday gift was two silk handkerchiefs embroidered by herself, one white silk handkerchief embroidered with orchids, and the other water-red silk handkerchief embroidered with two white gardenias. Rong Zheng likes both sides, and the two of them are talking about going to incense for a while.

Not long after, Du Mu came in. Rong Zheng took a look carefully, but saw that Du Mu had combed her hair in a low bun today. Wearing a jasper hairpin. The ginger jacket skirt lined Du Mu's face was even more black and yellow.

As soon as Du Mu came in, she greeted Ma with enthusiasm and said a few words to Du Shi. Rong Zheng saluted Du Mu with Rong Xiao. Du Mu only glanced at Rong Zheng, and finally fell on Rong Xiao's body, nodded with a smile and said, "Sister Xiao looks good today." This skirt is also newly made, and it's the first time I've seen you top. What material? ”

Rong Xiao replied with a smile: "Uncle can see at a glance that this is a new brocade with falling flowers and flowing water patterns this year." Originally, I was going to make a skirt, but my mother said it looked good to make a skirt, so I made a skirt. ”

Only then did Rong Zheng notice that the tender willow-colored modified skirt on his cousin's body was indeed novel and beautiful. Such cloth is said to be sold for ten taels of silver a horse in their shop. To do this line of work is naturally to eat this line, there are no new patterns on the market, and there are no good materials that have not yet been launched, and the Rong family always wears them on the market first, and always leads the trend invisibly.

Du Mu took out a long box from her sleeve and handed it to Rong Zheng. Only then did Xiang Rongzheng smile and nod and say, "Today is a good day, and it is also our young lady's birthday." Our Brother Hong was embarrassed to come in to see Miss San, and he asked me to bring this to you. ”

Rong Zheng was a little surprised, and said in her heart that she said a few words about Du Hong last time, and he didn't want the maid to send her something again, so he asked his mother to bring it in instead? Unexpectedly, she would not dare to refuse the kindness of her elders?

Rong Zheng was stunned, but he still took the box, and said half-bently: "Uncle thanked Cousin Du for me." ”

Du Mu looked at Rong Zheng with a smile and said, "Thank you or not, our Brother Hong entered the school here when he was ten years old. Thanks to the mention of Master Rong Er. Our Brother Hong often praises you and says that you are filial. And dexterous. ”

Rong Zheng chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart that this woman was talking about what she was doing with Du Hong in front of so many people at the moment.

Du Shi naturally understood her sister-in-law's intentions and echoed her: "Isn't it, Brother Hong can read and looks good." Talented and good-looking. Miss and the third are also childhood sweethearts, watching them grow up, and they are familiar with each other's temperaments. Both of them were respectful and never blushed. If others don't say it, how do they know that it's a cousin in the next room, and they think it's a brother and sister in law. ”

Rong Zheng's heart tightened. It's not good to scream.

Ma is naturally a smart person, and he is clear about the conversation between the two sisters-in-law.

Du's mother also wanted to praise her son a few words, and then involve a few words about how Rong Zheng and Du Hong had no guesses, and they were in love, and at this moment the housekeeper outside came in and said: "Ladies and misses, the car and sedan chair are complete, and it's time to leave." ”

Ma Shi glanced at the table clock placed in the hall, it was the end of the morning, and said, "It's not early, let's go." ”

Rong Xiao immediately went to hug her mother. Ma's hand stretched out, glanced at Rong Zheng, and motioned for Rong Zheng to come over and hold her. Rong Zheng lowered his head, and asked if he wanted to pretend not to see it, just as Rong Sheng ran over with a smile, hugged her mother, and said playfully: "I'll serve my mother." ”

Ma Shi glanced at Rong Zheng, his face a little gloomy.

Rong Zheng pursed her lips, thinking that she didn't need to be signaled by Ma Shi in the previous situation, she would definitely be full of joy and be the first to run up to support her, and live a new life, Rong Zheng understood many things, and treated this stepmother as affectionately as before.

Du's mother's eyes fell on Rong Zheng's body at this time, and she said in her heart, this girl is really no one in her eyes, no matter how she says that she has an estrangement with her stepmother, but after all, she is an elder, and it can be said that it is unfilial piety to cut the face of the elders in this way, but she thought of asking her to marry her son, so she planned to give Rong Zheng a step down, or stretched out her hand in front of Rong Zheng, and motioned Rong Zheng to hold her.

Rong Zheng looked at Du Mu with some doubts, she hesitated for a moment, and finally held Du Mu steadily. Du Mu patted Rong Zheng's delicate little hand with a smile on her face, and said, "Third Miss, today's Fangchen, it is such a good day, it is really a blessing." I don't know who is blessed to marry you back in the future. ”

Rong Zheng was stunned, she didn't understand why Du Mu suddenly said this, and bowed her head and said, "Uncle, you should be careful of the steps under your feet." ”

Ma, who was originally walking in front, heard their conversation and hurriedly looked back. Du Mu, who was smiling all over her face, was holding her Rong Zheng tightly next to her. This scene stabbed Ma's, and said in his heart, you are a sister Zheng, you will be clever. (To be continued.) )
