Chapter 106: Go Back
This spring banquet lasted for two days, and the lord of Duanhui only came to show his side, so he didn't come again. The next day, Mrs. Huang came, but Huang Xiajuan was left at home.
After two days of busyness, others were okay, but Mrs. Lu was a little tired, so she didn't show up in the afternoon of the second day, and only let the two wives socialize in front of her. She excused herself to rest.
The cost of the spring banquet was within the budget, and Mrs. Lu said afterwards: "Fortunately, I haven't overspended." It's been a hard two days. ”
Second Mrs. Shen and Third Mrs. Ren were really happy to see the old lady in the past two days, and their spirits were good, but after all, old people are inevitably a little lacking in energy.
Mrs. Ren San remembered the events of the day, and couldn't help but ask Second Mrs. Shen curiously: "Second sister-in-law, I saw that Mrs. Huang has been sitting with you today, muttering something to you?" ”
Second Mrs. Shen said busily: "That Mrs. Huang wants me to be a matchmaker for the second lady of her family. ”
Yun Xia and Rong Zheng heard this, and turned their heads to look at Mrs. Shen Er.
Old Madam Lu also came to be interested and hurriedly asked: "Which family does their Huang family want to marry?" ”
Second Mrs. Shen had no choice but to say: "Listening to Mrs. Huang's tone, it seems that she wants to climb the palace." This is not just spreading that the county lord's brother is talking about kissing, and their Huang family has such a thought. Wanted me to make peace out of it. ”
Yun Xia and Rong Zheng were even taken aback, and Yun Xia couldn't even hold back and asked, "That Huang Xiajuan wants to marry Master Mu?" ”
Mrs. Ren glanced at her daughter and said unhappily, "What are you doing so much?" So he said to Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Shen: "The second sister-in-law really agreed." ”
Mrs. Shen said, "She said so earnestly, I can't refuse her for a while." ”
Yun Xia muttered: "No wonder you are so careless in front of the county lord, it turns out that there is a reason." Second uncle, don't agree, you can't do this family business. ”
Mrs. Shen was a little surprised and hurriedly asked, "What can't I do?" ”
"Because ......" Rong Zheng secretly pulled down Yunxia's sleeve hard, and she swallowed the second half of the sentence back. Yun Xia's tongue was a little knotted, and she said very uncomfortably: "Because, I don't think Miss Huang Er is worthy of the eldest son of Mu." ”
Mrs. Ren was even more dissatisfied, and reprimanded: "There is also a place for you to put your beak in front of the elders? Don't stop yet. No matter how old you are, you're still like this, and you don't learn to learn from Sister Zheng. ”
Yunxia was reprimanded by her mother. I had no choice but to shut up in recognition, took Rong Zheng's hand and said, "Ah Zheng, let's go out." ”
After the two girls stepped back, it became even more unscrupulous to gossip about other families.
Mrs. Ren San said: "The Huang family is not greedy for the power of other people's palaces. Seeing that someone is the eldest son, his eyes are red. It's a pity that the eldest son is useless, and he is not the son of the world. This Mu Dagongzi still grew up in the temple, and I heard that he is unreliable and has the fate of dying early. ”
Second Mrs. Shen also nodded and said, "I've heard of this too." said that Master Mu's life was not good, so he was not named the prince. There have been speculations before about whether this eldest son will become a monk. Why do you want to start a family? also said that he chose a lot of young ladies who didn't meet Ruyi. ”
Old Madam Lu asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Mrs. Shen thought for a while before saying, "Since I am entrusted by others, I have to go through this experience." Whether there is fate or not depends on the creation of the two. ”
Old Madam Lu nodded and said, "It's okay, don't offend anyone." ”
Here Yunxia came to the hugging house where Rong Zheng lived, and as soon as she entered the house, she was full of complaints: "I can't get used to seeing their mother and daughter like that, one is sneaky, the other is flattering, and I have to spread your gossip everywhere." I guess the county lord will definitely look down on them, and we will also see their Huang family's jokes when the time comes. ”
Who Mu Xuan marries has nothing to do with her, and who Huang Xiajuan marries has nothing to do with her. Rong Zheng asked the maids to help pack up their things, and turned back to Yunxia and said, "It's either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." I'm going back. I've recently written a few letters, and if you like it, you'll take them, and I'll let you draw the patterns you've cleaned up. ”
Rong Zheng said and handed Yunxia a roll of things.
When Yun Xia heard that Rong Zheng was leaving, she was surprised: "You are good here, why do you want to leave?" ”
Rong Zheng said: "I should go back after living for so many days. ”
Yun Xia hugged Rong Zheng like a child, and said while crying: "I don't want you to go, it's not fun if you leave." ”
Rong Zheng smiled and said: "Anyway, I don't live too far, and I will come to live for two or three days when I have time in the future." She said and rubbed Yunxia's hair.
"The old lady won't let you go. The old lady also said that she wanted you to live in our house. ”
Rong Zheng is not such an uninteresting person, she knows that because of Qi Jun's affairs, her second aunt has always held a grudge against her. She won't be cheeky anymore.
Rong Zheng smiled: "I have already told grandma, and grandma agreed." ”
Yun Xia packed up her things with red circles in her eyes and went back to her yard sullenly.
When Rong Zheng was packing up his things, the few books that Qi Jun had sent were still there. Since that day, the two have avoided each other and have never seen each other. She has only read two of these books, both of which are scripts or legends of talented and beautiful women. The routines are basically the same, and when I first watched it, I thought it was very novel. After reading the two parts, it is a bit boring. It's not easy for her to return it herself. I had to call Hongluo and instruct her: "You help me send this to the fifth brother." ”
It's still the burden sent, Rong Zheng has already wrapped it, and she handed it over to Hongluo.
It was just a small errand, and Hongluo happily took it.
She walked briskly to Qi Jun's courtyard, and the onion under the porch was drying hand towels. Seeing her coming, Shui Shallot hurriedly wiped his hands on his skirt, and stepped forward with a smile and said, "The red snail is here." ”
Hongluo stuffed the burden into the shallot's arms and said, "Our young lady asked me to return the things." What is Sister Shallot busy with? ”
Shallot smiled: "There's nothing to be busy with, you've worked hard for this trip, come in and have some tea." ”
Hongluo was young, and it was the time to play, so he heard that he followed the shallots to the ear room. The shallots wrapped the tea cho on the stove in a cloth and lifted it, and poured a cup of tea for the red snail.
"Why hasn't the Fifth Young Master seen him recently?"
Shallot smiled and said, "Our young master has been a little uncomfortable lately. ”
"I'm uncomfortable, isn't there something wrong with you?"
Shallot said: "It's almost the same as being sick." You don't know, he hasn't even been to the school these days. Just stay at home and don't go out. His wife came to visit him early in the morning. The mother and son didn't know who said the wrong thing, the fifth cousin young master had a temper, and he didn't go anywhere all morning at home. ”
Hongluo said: "Our young lady said that she would go back to Rong's house tomorrow." Thank you young master for taking care of our young lady these days. ”
"You're leaving?"
"Yes, that's why Miss asked me to come and return the book."
The two chattered for a while, and suddenly saw the little girl Xiaodouzi come over and said, "Sister, the fifth young master is looking for you." ”
"What is he looking for me to do, isn't there Sister Tongshuang guarding in front of him?" That being said. But the shallots didn't dare to delay at all, got up and said, "You sit and wait for me for a while, I'm afraid that our young master has something to bring to Miss Biao." ”
Hongluo nodded and continued to nibble on her melon seeds. Slowly sipping tea.
The shallot walked to the upper room, Tongshuang opened the curtain and walked out, and when she saw that there was one more thing in her arms, she asked, "What are you taking?" ”
Shallot said: "It was Miss Cousin who asked me to return it." ”
At this time, I heard someone say, "What does Sister Rong say?" ”
Tongshuang's eyes sank, and she replied through the curtain: "Fifth master." What you gave to Miss Table, Miss Watch returned. ”
The shallots walked in, put down the burden, and thought for a while before saying, "It was sent by the red snail, and it was said that Miss Biao was going back to Rong's house immediately." ”
"Is she leaving?"
Qi Jun lay on his back on the bed and leaned out when he heard this.
Shallot nodded.
When Qi Jun heard that Rong Zheng was leaving, he immediately got out of bed, and hurried to ask for clothes to wear, eager to see Rong Zheng immediately.
Tongshuang came in and saw this scene and kindly persuaded her: "My lord, you better settle down." If you let your wife know, you will be upset. ”
"I can't even see my cousin now?" Qi Jun's temper came up, and no one could hold it back.
He hurriedly pulled up his clothes. With fluffy hair, he couldn't care about tidying up, so he put on his shoes, lifted the curtain and strode out.
Before he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Shen coming with her maid. The mother and son collided, and when Mrs. Shen saw Qi Jun in such a hurry, she pulled down her face and asked, "Where are you going to go here?" ”
Qi Jun said without thinking: "I'll go see Sister Rong." ”
"Sister Rong, it's dark, are you still going to her room? Are you thinking about drilling other people's boudoirs? ”
Qi Jun lowered his head, his face flushed with shame. He said abruptly: "Mother, I heard the maid say that Sister Rong is going home, and I want to say goodbye to her." ”
Mrs. Shen said, "Don't go!" ”
"Mother!" Qi Jun's eyes reddened.
"Why, what I said doesn't work?"
Qi Jun said stubbornly: "Mother." My good mother. I only saw her once, and came back after a few words with her. ”
"I told you not to go! It's all lit, and you run to the room where the house is not out of the pavilion. Do you want to be embarrassed? Have you forgotten all those courtesies, righteousness and shame into the dog's belly? Second Mrs. Shen blushed and ordered the servants behind her to take Qi Jun back.
The servants were all tall and strong, and one of them said, "Fifth young master." Please go back. Please don't embarrass the wife, let the old slaves embarrass it! ”
Qi Jun was born thin and weak, and knew that he couldn't compete with these two women, so he had to turn his head and drill into his house.
Facing her son's failure, Mrs. Shen Er had a headache, but fortunately, the two were about to separate immediately, so she was a little relieved. Otherwise, if she does something ugly one day, I'm afraid she won't have a good time in her life.
Mrs. Shen sat on her son's side for half an hour, and then instructed Tongshuang and the other maids to say a long time before leaving. When she returned to her room, two days of socializing and her unconscious son made her exhausted, and she said she was dizzy at the time.
When the servant saw this, he hurriedly said, "Madame, do you want to invite the doctor to come in and have a look?" ”
"It's so late to ask for a doctor, if it reaches the ears of the elderly, it won't be able to live in peace. Just rest for two days. ”
Qi Xin hadn't come back yet, and Second Mrs. Shen didn't dare to sleep by herself. Lying on her back in the recliner, she waited quietly for her husband to come back.
After closing her eyes and resting for a while, she opened her eyes to see Mama Jin standing next to her.
Mrs. Shen said to Mama Jin: "Tomorrow, you ask the steward to write a letter of worship and send it to the palace, and on the twenty-sixth, I will go to the concubine and the princess to say goodbye." ”
Mama Jin said: "Mrs. doesn't have to be in such a hurry, it's okay to slow down the affairs of the Huang family." Besides, the Huang family is marrying a young lady and not a daughter-in-law, and they can't be in a hurry. ”
Mrs. Shen said: "I am free for the past few days, and I should also go to the palace to walk around and say hello to the two Bodhisattvas." When I went back, I had to prepare for Xiao Wu's long trip. said that she would let Qi Jun go to Jiangxi, she couldn't sleep anymore, and her headache was even worse, and she only scolded Rong Zheng seven or eight times in her heart.
Mama Jin handed a cup of tea to Mrs. Shen Er in a timely manner, and said respectfully: "Madam, the old slave has an idea, does the old slave want to listen?" ”
Mrs. Shen Er was slightly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What is the idea, you say it!" ”
But how did Mrs. Shen and Mama Jin plan at night. It wasn't until Hongluo hurriedly returned from Qi Jun's courtyard that he told Rong Zheng about the matter here.
Rong Zheng was calm after hearing this, and she said that she was good enough to be interesting, and she didn't need others to change her words to drive her, so she chose to roll gorgeously by herself.
The next day, Rong Zheng went to say good morning to Mrs. Lu, and happened to meet Qi Jun here. Rong Zheng didn't say a word to him. When Mrs. Shen and the others came, Rong Zheng had already excused himself not to be hungry and returned to Baoxia.
After the meal, Rong Zheng accompanied his grandmother to worship the Buddha for the last time. sorted out all the scriptures that he had copied a few days ago, bent his knees in front of Mrs. Lu and said: "In this world, except for my father, it is my grandmother who loves me the most." When I go back, I will often think about my grandma, and I will send someone to say goodbye to my grandma every once in a while. ”
Mrs. Lu became more and more distressed, holding Rong Zheng's face and said, "Good girl, your aunt is not good, I said it too, and scolded it." I wanted you to stay with me for a while. But I'm afraid that you will feel wronged in your own heart. You have to be good when you go back, your stepmother, you have a lot of thoughts, and some things are okay on the surface. ”
Rong Zheng listened to a sentence, and it didn't take long for his face to be full of tears.
Mrs. Lu looked at her granddaughter's appearance, and she thought of her daughter who had gone early, and her heart hurt more and more.
Although he has his grandmother's love in every way, after all, Rong Zheng can't live here calmly for a long time. No matter how bad the Rong family is, it is also its own home.
She said goodbye to her grandmother in tears and went to the rooms to say goodbye. Yun Xia's eyes were red, and she reluctantly took her hand and said half a basket of words. Mrs. Shen didn't see her under the pretext that she was not good, but Mrs. Ren gave her two gifts.
She took the maid to board the car, and the moment she lowered the curtain, she vaguely saw Qi Jun's figure in the crowd. Rong Zheng's heart trembled slightly, and she blessed this kind cousin in her heart. He will be very happy in the future. (To be continued.) )
