Chapter 144: Arrival
On the second day, according to the previous plan, I had to go back to my parents' house. οΌ·ww.
Now I can't go back to Qingyun Lane in Bianliang, but I can go back to my uncle's house in Scissors Hutong outside Gulou Street.
Rong Zheng prepared a few greeting gifts and boarded the car with Mu Xuan.
Here, Rong Hai and Mrs. Fang had received the New Year's gift and congratulatory note from the Yu Wangfu as early as two days ago, and Mrs. Fang hadn't turned the corner much at first, thinking about how their family could be involved with the Yu Wangfu. Later, after being reminded by Rong Hai, he remembered that Rong Zheng married the eldest son of King Yu. Now the two families are in-laws.
At the end of the year, the vassal king wants to enter Beijing to reunite, and the family of King Yu also rushes to Beijing from Bianliang, and they should also move around. They haven't rushed to give gifts to the palace yet, but the palace has sent the New Year's gift first, and they really look up to them.
So on the second day of junior high school, Rong Hai and his wife didn't go anywhere, and waited at home for Rong Zheng to return to his parents' home.
When it was just right, the car of Yuwangfu entered Scissors Alley.
Outside the door, a small servant had already seen the car, so he took the initiative to open the door for them, and stepped forward to ask Qian'er for peace.
"Third aunt and grandmother, third aunt and grandfather are blessed for the New Year!"
Mu Xuan got out of the car first, and then went to support Rong Zheng again.
Rong Zheng asked the maid to reward the little maid with a bunch of newly made money, and the little maid happily took it and thanked him.
The courtyard of Ronghai is a three-entry house, adding up to a total of more than 20 rooms.
Under the guidance of the little guy, I arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate. Waiting in front of the Hanging Flower Gate were Mrs. Fang's companions, Mama Lan and Mama Yuan.
The two grandmothers looked up and saw Rong Zheng and Mu Xuan coming, and they all stepped forward to bow and say hello.
Mama Yuan said with a smile again: "Third aunt and grandmother, third aunt, our old lady heard that the third aunt and grandmother are coming back, and she has been waiting for a long time, please come here with the old slave." β
The couple was led by two grandmothers. Entered the Hanging Flower Gate, and went to the courtyard of the upper house.
A maid had already greeted them, and another maid had lifted the curtain for them.
"Mrs. Cai is still chattering, and she said that she was afraid that the third aunt and grandmother would not find a place, so she would let her go to greet her, but I didn't expect you to have arrived." It was Biqing, a first-class maid beside Mrs. Fang, who spoke.
Rong Zheng smiled at her and nodded, "There is Sister Lao Biqing." β
and to the main hall. When Rong Hai and Mrs. Fang saw them coming, they both stood up. Rong Zheng and Mu Xuan hurriedly bowed.
Mrs. Fang said humbly: "No need to worship." No need to worship. β
But they still did everything they could.
Mrs. Fang liked it very much: "When you gave us New Year's gifts, I was stunned. Your eldest uncle hasn't figured out how to get involved with Yuwangfu. I said that he was an official and confused. β
Rong Hai was a little uncomfortable and said: "Bianliang is far away from here, and he doesn't live in one place, so it's okay to be confused for a while." He couldn't stop looking at Mu Xuan. Xindao is really a royal clansman, and this all-round style is not comparable to the sons of ordinary people. Speak appropriately, behave moderately, and be a beautiful son. Brother Xindao got a good son-in-law. In the future, with his back against the big tree of Yuwangfu, there is nothing that can't be done.
It won't be long. Rong Zheng's cousins came one after another, and Rong Di also appeared and greeted each other. Rong Di looked at Mu Xuan, and Mu Xuan became a little embarrassed.
Everyone agreed for a while. Rong Hai invited Mu Xuan to sit in the study, and asked his eldest son Rong Chun to accompany him. Only Mrs. Fang and Rong Di were left to accompany Rong Zheng here.
Mrs. Fang pulled Rong Zheng and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you girl is still a little blessed to be able to marry into the palace." He is also the eldest son of a vassal king. β
"Although it is the eldest son. But I heard that he is not the son of the world. Rong Di interjected.
Mrs. Fang immediately reprimanded: "The prince's three sons are all sons-in-law, but there is only one son. It was also the fate of the niece and son-in-law that was a little worse. But no matter how bad it is, it's much better than the average person. Maybe there will be knights in the future, a county king, a town prince, an auxiliary prince or something. Sister Zheng doesn't have to worry about anything in this life. β
Rong Zheng sneered: "I don't know what the future will be, but it's not so easy to think about." β
According to the rules of the Great Xia Kingdom, the prince was crowned a prince at the age of ten, and when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he had a domain, and once he got married, he had to go to the domain. The eldest son born to him was named the prince, and the rest of the sons were not all county kings like other dynasties. Other sons have to rely on their own efforts to obtain the title, and there are indeed examples of outstanding and capable people who have been crowned county kings. is unremarkable, and it is very common to give a town prince in his age, and it is very common to assist the prince of the country. The king of the county is a prince, although he is not as noble as the prince, but he is also very noble. Because there are too many of them and the good and the bad, they are not worth much. Some even lost their family business early, or were expelled from the clan for doing bad things under the title of clan.
Rong Di said: "It's obviously the eldest son, but it's not the son of the world, and it's too much of a loss." β
Rong Zheng just smiled. She can't do this thing.
Mrs. Fang asked again: "Have you entered the palace, have you seen your eldest sister?" β
Rong Zheng nodded and said, "I've seen it twice." Eldest sister, I asked me to greet you. β
Rong Yun has been in the palace for more than a year, and the emperor has only turned over her brand once. Now the position is just a small selection of servants, and I thought that I could send my daughter in and control the power in the palace, but it seems that I thought too simply, and I blame my daughter for not having that life, and blame my daughter for not having that wrist. The strange Rong family doesn't have the ability to fix a favor for their daughter.
Mrs. Fang's eyebrows were gloomy, and she sighed softly: "It's not easy for her to live inside. I heard that Qing Concubine is flying and domineering, and now she is the lord of the Yuming Palace, and it must be difficult to live under her. It's hard for your eldest sister. β
Rong Di pouted and said, "My mother still wants to let the eldest sister go in and enjoy the blessings, but she doesn't enjoy the blessings now, but suffers again." Don't let the eldest sister in, tell her that she is a child of an ordinary family, and she can still walk around and meet from time to time. If you are really not doing well, you can still get along, so that you are like this? β
Rong Di's words were clearly blaming her mother for her decision.
Mrs. Fang frowned and said, "Am I not sorry for your eldest sister?" If I had known that I wouldn't have sent her in. What's the use of talking about this now, and you can't go back. I had to ask for more blessings, hoping that this child would have that life. Don't ask her to be a concubine, just ask her to be safe and smooth in the palace. β
Rong Zheng knew the end of her eldest sister, although she was also a concubine in the end, but her life has not been satisfactory. At this moment, she couldn't say anything, so she had to comfort her aunt: "Eldest sister, she is blessed." It's going to be fine. β
Mrs. Fang smiled bitterly: "I remember that she told her fortune when she was a child, saying that she was rich and noble in her life. I hope that the fortune teller will open the golden mouth, and he will be accurate as soon as he says it. This is just the beginning, and for so many years to come, who knows how, as long as she gets through the current difficulties. β
Rong Zheng asked, "When will the eldest aunt go in to visit the eldest sister?" β
Mrs. Fang said: "The ninth day of the first month is the queen mother's birthday, and I will definitely enter the palace to congratulate her." I just don't know if I can see it. "At this moment, Rong Hai has not been promoted. Rong Yun has not yet entered the position. Mrs. Fang is still only a fourth-grade wife, and she can't show her face in front of the Queen Mother at all. And Rong Yun is just a small waiter. How hard it is to see each other.
Rong Zheng said: "I will think of a way for the eldest uncle." β
Mrs. Fang has what else to worry about with Rong Zheng's words, so she pulled Rong Zheng and said, "Your identity is different now." It is said that the current Queen Mother attaches great importance to King Yu. It's also very important to talk to her, and you have to help a lot. β
Rong Zheng sneered: "I, I try my best." "She's actually soft-spoken, how much ability she can have. Where is the place where she put her beak in front of the Queen Mother.
Rong Di asked, "Is that Qing Concubine really that powerful?" Could it be that the queen mother doesn't care about it? β
Mrs. Fang said, "That's not the case. How could Concubine Qing be compared to the concubine and the queen. But her father is a capable minister who controls water, and he is very respected by the emperor. Now the daughter is in the palace. You can always get some blue eyes. Didn't you see that you are a talented person as soon as you enter the palace, but you will be a direct nobleman in half a year, I heard that she looks good, what does the emperor not like. He was also crowned as a concubine and became the lord of the Yuming Palace. β
Rong Di said: "That's not to blame the eldest sister's bad life, it's because my father is not capable enough." The emperor must not be heavy. β
Mrs. Fang pointed to her daughter and Rong Zheng with tears and laughter and said, "Sister Zheng, listen to what she said." If her father heard it, he wouldn't be angry. β
Rong Di pouted and said, "I'm telling the truth." Could it be that Daddy didn't even dare to listen to the truth, and it was no wonder that he had to be liked by the emperor. β
Rong Zheng said secretly, her eldest uncle was already very powerful, at least before she died, the eldest uncle was already a member of the second grade, and the Rong family has been the highest in the official position of the eldest uncle for several generations. But then my father was imprisoned and my uncle was deposed, so I didn't think it was much better.
Mrs. Fang felt that this daughter was a little choking when she spoke, and her heart was still less twisted in her belly, but it was nothing at home, but now she was such a daughter in front of her, pampered in every way, and she would inevitably suffer if she married into her husband's family in the future. It seems that she still has to put some effort into teaching her daughter well.
Mrs. Fang thought of the Ma family again, and couldn't help but ask Rong Zheng: "That Ma family was really driven to the Plum Blossom Nunnery?" β
Rong Zheng nodded.
Although Mrs. Fang knew about it for a long time, she still couldn't hide her surprise, and asked again: "It's too far away, and I don't know much about some situations, you tell your aunt what happened at home." I heard that her second uncle was going to divorce his wife, why did he go to the nunnery to repair again? β
Rong Zheng didn't want to mention the bad things in the past, but when the uncle asked, she still had to say: "She can't live because of her own sin, and she can't complain about others." β
This is also a choking girl, Mrs. Fang smiled: "How could she fall to such a point if she didn't die herself." At the beginning, I said that the concubine in the merchant could not be married, so let your uncle persuade your father. But your father saw that the two families had business dealings, and remembered that you were young and had no one to take care of you, so he carried you in. It turns out that what happened to the concubine was that he couldn't get on the table. I really didn't look away. Mrs. Fang didn't dare to mention half a word in front of the people in the third room.
Rong Di said again: "Then now that the fifth sister has no mother, will the second uncle marry again?" Or do you want to straighten out the aunt who gave birth to a son? β
Mrs. Fang said with a straight face: "What are you talking about, our Rong family is also a family with a head and a face, and a clean family style. How is it possible to build a through room into a main room. If your second uncle still wants to marry his stepfamily, there are only two possibilities, one is that the Ma family is officially ordained, and the other is that he is dead. Sister Zheng, do you think that's the truth? β
Rong Zheng nodded and said, "Uncle Niang is right. β
What concubines, what concubines, these messy things don't matter to Rong Di. She just felt that the fifth sister's situation would be difficult in the future, and if there was such a mother, the other party would definitely have to worry about it for a long time if she wanted to talk about her relatives in the future. Marriage may be far away, I can't take care of it, but when I get closer, I still have a status in the family? There are still people who are convinced when they speak, but they are afraid that they will not be happy everywhere. Rong Di shed tears of sympathy for Rong Sheng.
Mrs. Fang boasted that she was born in a famous family and was the eldest daughter, so she has always looked down on the Ma family, and she also looked down on the Du family, who had fallen into the middle of the family. There is no friendship with these two concubines. The Qi family, who went first, had some weight, but because the two did not have the same temperament, they had no affection at all.
The nieces and nieces and sons-in-law came to the door, and Rong Hai and Mrs. Fang generously arranged two tables of the same table.
Mu Xuan has been accompanied by Rong Chun's brothers in Rong Hai's outer study, and Mrs. Fang greeted Rong Zheng in the hall here, and asked Rong Di and her two daughters-in-law to accompany her.
The table is not restrained at all, eat what should be eaten, and laugh when it should be laughed. Rong Chun's daughter-in-law is a sharp mouth again, she speaks interestingly, and after a few words, she makes the people at the table laugh.
Mrs. Fang pointed at Rong Chun's daughter-in-law and scolded with a smile: "I think you are a monkey, and you are embarrassed to talk about others." I've never seen anyone thicker than you. β
Rong Chun's daughter-in-law was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "It's also my mother who is used to me, otherwise how dare I be presumptuous in front of my elders." β
Mrs. Fang smiled: "That's true, I know that you are a good boy who is quite knowledgeable. β
It can be seen that Rong Zheng, the sister-in-law, is usually very happy with her mother-in-law.
It wasn't until more than half of the afternoon that Mu Xuan and Rong Zheng said goodbye to their uncle's family.
When they were in the car, Mu Xuan and Rong Zheng said: "I was really right, your eldest uncle is indeed going to be promoted." β
Rong Zheng said happily: "Now you should always believe that what I said is right." β
"Perhaps." Mu Xuan smiled.
"It's so reluctant, forget it. Well, many things will come true in the future, and then you won't doubt it. β
Regarding Rong Zheng's words, Mu Xuan was originally skeptical, but now he has fewer doubts, and he believes more Cheng DΓΉ. But if what Rong Zheng said is true, then what should be the next step? Mu Xuan fell into doubt.
When the family was preparing for the fourth year of junior high school, some relatives and friends from Beijing were invited to get together, which had little to do with Mu Xuan and his wife. But it is said that the prince also sent a group of plays, and Mu Jing personally went to Chengqian Palace to thank him.
King Yu was friendly to King Wu, and of course he was also friendly to the crown prince. Judging from the results of Mu Xuan's own investigation these days, it is said that King Wu not only walked around their house, but also had a past with several other vassal kings in the court, as well as important towns. The harmony between the uncles and nephews and brothers is that even the officials can't find anything, but Mu Xuan remembered Rong Zheng's words, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, could it be that in the dream that Rong Zheng said, King Wu finally ascended to the big treasure, not only because he was lucky?
