Chapter 148: Asking for Marriage

The list of gifts to be sent everywhere has been listed, for Mrs. Lu, Yunxia, Rongxiao, Mu Baowen, Du, Huiqiu, and the younger brother who is not yet a year old. In addition to these relatives, among the friends, Li Shiniang left a reward she received from the palace, which was a pair of glass bottles of foreign tribute. In addition to these people, the maids and servants who stayed in Bianliang to guard the door of the house, as well as other families and Lei Bo, all gave gifts to each other.

Rong Zheng looked at this list back and forth, and always felt that there was something missing.

In the afternoon, Bei Yonggui came.

Rong Zheng greeted him in the flower hall.

Don't Yonggui respectfully saluted Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng smiled and said, "I haven't asked about the things in the shop for a long time, how is it lately?" ”

Don't Yonggui said: "There is nothing major, these days, the account book Lei account room will come to meet grandma in person." ”

"I heard that you were looking for me, and I thought there was something important."

Bei Yonggui thought for a while before saying: "This year is the year of Dabi, and it stands to reason that business is better." If you want to go to the capital again, you won't want to go to the capital again and buy some anthologies or something to sell. Fine pen, ink, paper, and inkstone also had to be added. ”

Rong Zheng said without thinking: "I'm okay with this, when are you going to go?" ”

Don't Yonggui said: "Wait for the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

"That's been too long, I don't think you'll leave next month. By the way, how has Ziying been lately? ”

Don't Yonggui said: "It's good. ”

"Give her time to come in."

Bei Yonggui hurriedly agreed.

It was almost dusk when Thunder Bo came. Rong Zheng deliberately left for a while, leaving time for Lei Bo and Zi Su to be alone.

"Grandma said she would come later, and Brother Lei would have a cup of tea first." Shiso made a bowl of Biluochun and served it.

Lei Bo hurriedly got up and caught it. said with a smile: "How embarrassed to let my sister do it herself." ”

Shisu smiled, and said in his heart that this kid has a sweet mouth, and shouted "sister" one by one. He was a little older than his brother and called her sister. She didn't dare to be.

After serving tea, as soon as Shiso looked down, he saw a new pair of shoes on Lei Bo's feet, square shoes made of cyan satin, which looked like β†’dǐngβ†’diǎnβ†’ Xiao β†’ said, .βŠ₯.♀os_ (); Her needlework.

"Are these shoes Brother Lei comfortable to wear?"

"Comfortable, of course comfortable. It's all good for my sister's needlework. It fits perfectly. I haven't thanked my sister yet. ”

Zi Su said: "It's good to fit the feet, say thank you." If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't be helping my grandmother manage Zhuangzi now. You have taught my brother many things. This diǎn is busy and should also be helped. ”

The maid in the Rong Zheng room. If you talk about posture. The most outstanding should be Ruyi. Shiso, who is also a first-class girl, can only be called Qingli. But what attracted Lei Bo was not Shiso's appearance, but that she often spoke with a smile, a gentle personality, and a very peaceful attitude towards people. I've never seen her quarrel with anyone.

Lei Bo looked at Shiso and combed a double snail today. Wearing a madder-colored bicara. Wore a pair of pearl drop earrings. More and more lined her beautiful and sweet. Ever since they came to live in Qixia Villa. Because of his identity, Lei Bo didn't dare to run this way often. In addition, Shisu went to the capital for almost two months, so he couldn't help but be a little worried. Suddenly seeing here, he was the only one left in his eyes.

Zi Su sat in front of him for a while, why didn't Grandma come yet, and let Lei Bo wait for fear that it would be dark. It's a long way into town. You can't delay people. After thinking about it, he got up and said to Lei Bo: "Brother Lei, you sit for a while, and I'll go find grandma." You can't keep waiting. ”

Lei Bo hurriedly said, "It's okay, grandma must be busy." I'll be able to wait a little longer. ”

"That's so good to keep you waiting. I'm going to urge my grandmother. Such a lonely man and widow in the same room made Shisu at a loss, even uneasy.

She came out of the flower hall in a panic and was about to go to find Rong Zheng. I saw Mei Fen and a little girl standing on the porch and didn't know what to say, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where's grandma?" ”

Mei Fen said: "Grandma is at the county lord's." Is there something wrong with Sister Shiso? ”

"Thunder...... Here comes the bookkeeper. It's not good to keep people waiting like this, so I went to urge grandma. ”

Shisu came to the Splendid Courtyard in a hurry, and walked out without waiting for the maid to inform her. Rong Zheng deliberately let them be alone, so he and the county lord drank tea and chatted here. When I looked up and saw Shiso coming in a hurry, I was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Zi Su hurriedly said, "Grandma, the thunder account room is here, and I am waiting for you in the flower hall." Come with your slaves. In her haste, she even forgot that there was still the county lord sitting in the house.

Rong Zheng was a little funny when she saw her anxious appearance, since she had come to the door, she couldn't excuse herself, so she hurriedly got up and said goodbye to the county lord of Duanhui with a smile.

Duan Hui diǎn head said: "If you have something to do, go ahead." ”

The master and servant hurriedly said goodbye.

On the way back to Qingyin Pavilion, Rong Zheng didn't ask Shisu anything. By the time they arrived at the flower hall, Lei Bo's tea was almost at the bottom. Shisu helped refill the tea in a timely manner, knowing that there was no place for himself to speak here, so he retreated.

Lei Bo piled the ledger he brought on the long case in front of Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng took a look, there were about a dozen books. It was impossible for her to read it in such a short time, so she said, "Put the ledger here first, and you can come and get it in two days." ”

"It's all at Grandma's orders."

Rong Zheng smiled: "The things in the shop let you worry about it." ”

"Grandma gives a bowl of rice to eat, this is what a small one should do."

Rong Zheng said: "It's really thanks to you." Without you, I don't know what to do. You can help me for a while. I'll send you something else later. ”

Lei Bo said in his heart, he still thought that he would stay in this pen and ink shop for the rest of his life, would there be other assignments. I can't help but secretly rejoice in my heart.

After talking about the business matters, Rong Zheng naturally shifted the topic to Lei Bo's personal problems.

"You're twenty years old here, aren't you? Don't you want to start a family? ”

Lei Bo blushed and said, "I'm almost twenty-two years old." ”

"That's an older youth. Last time I saw your mother, you said you didn't want to get married yet. I'm not too young anymore. How can anyone around you who knows how to know hot and cold. If you fancy a woman from any family, you must sue me. Rong Zheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea with the tea lid and foam.

Lei Bo, who was sitting at the bottom, became more and more nervous, what does grandma mean by this. Do you want to make decisions for him and help him get in the middle of a family affair? Grandma already has a candidate? No, grandma's words just now are clearly to sue him, depending on his own meaning. If he hadn't been bold enough to say it, he might have missed the shiso.

He got up in a little panic, and made a straight swipe to Rong Zheng, and then knelt in front of Rong Zheng, and said earnestly: "Grandma." There are already people in the small heart. Please also ask grandma to fulfill. ”

Rong Zheng smiled and said, "If there is really someone, tell me who I am." I'll see if I can be the master. ”

Lei Bo became shy, blushed and said, "It's no one else. The little one looks at the sister Shiso next to her grandmother, and it's very good. ”

Rong Zheng Xindao really fell in love with Zisu, and hurriedly said: "Which diǎn do you like about our Shisu?" ”

Lei Bo blushed and said, "Sister Shisu is generous. Gentle personality. Needlework and thread of the first class. Be generous......"

Rong Zheng smiled and said, "You get up." I made a note of it. I'll help you ask when you get back. If she doesn't want to, I can't help it. ”

"Of course, if she doesn't want to. How could I force it. Although he only said it, Lei Bo still couldn't hide the loss in his heart.

Rong Zheng smiled: "I can help you find out what Zisu means." It's just that you are alone in Bianliang now, and getting married is a big deal, but I'm afraid you have to take your mother to Bianliang. ”

Lei Bo said: "When marriage is a major event, parents are in charge. It's natural. ”

"Okay, the next time you come to get the account book, I'll tell you what Shiso means."

Rong Zheng saw that it was a little late, so he didn't keep Lei Bo much and let him enter the city.

Dinner was naturally eaten with the county lord of Duanhui, and the two naturally talked about Mu Xuan.

Rong Zheng couldn't help but be a little worried: "I don't know if he went to the northwest camp." I asked him to write home as soon as he arrived safely, hoping that he would not forget about it. ”

Duanhui County Lord said: "Junhua is a steady person, and he will not forget it when he thinks about it." If we don't report peace, we don't feel at ease. Are you planning to go back to your parents' house tomorrow? ”

Rong Zheng diǎndiǎn head.

Lord Duanhui smiled: "Say hello to the people in your family for me." In a few days, we will also invite some young girls to visit our mountain resort. Don't forget your sisters. ”

Rong Zheng knew that the county lord of Duanhui was used to being lonely, and he would be in a better mood if he was lively, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, when will you make a post, and what flowers will be appreciated, the county lord will be in charge." ”

Duan Hui shook his head and said, "No, I will leave this matter to you." All I have to do is have fun. ”

"Me?" Rong Zheng has no confidence.

"Why are you still worried about not doing well, that time your grandfather's family held a spring banquet, I heard that you helped handle it, I think it's very good. You are so careful, what are you afraid of? And I'm still there to help you check the gates, so be bold and do it. "The lord of Duanhui is not a word of praise.

The county lord said everything about this, and Rong Zheng had no choice but to agree: "Okay, when the time comes, I will discuss with the county lord if I don't understand." ”

"That's right, you have to have more confidence in yourself!"

When he slept at night, Rong Zheng deliberately let Shisu accompany him.

The two lay side by side, and Rong Zheng and Zi Su talked privately.

"You should be happy that you'll be home tomorrow and you can see your family. I'll prepare a gift for you for your mother and your brother. ”

"Grandma bothered!"

Rong Zheng smiled: "You are the big girl I rely on, and you have followed me for so many years. Naturally, I'll have to think about you. What about your brother, did the family marry him? ”

Zi Su heard some meaning and hurriedly asked, "Does grandma want to be a matchmaker for my brother?" ”

Rong Zheng said in his heart, this thinking has changed too quickly.

"Well, I'm just asking."

Zi Su hurriedly said: "Brother, he was married the year before last." It's just that the father of the woman's family has passed away, and the marriage may have to be delayed for some time. ”

Rong Zheng said in his heart, this brother has not yet married, and the younger sister should not marry so early. Just pity Repo.

"It's good to settle down. In the blink of an eye, you have been with me for many years, Ziying now has a son, and her husband is helping me manage the shop, which can be regarded as a lifelong support. It's just what you should do. I've been thinking about you. ”

Shiso's chest fluttered.

"Someone asked me to marry you today, do you know who I'm talking about?"

Zi Su felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she was ashamed and ashamed, but fortunately, the light in the tent was not very bright, she blushed and said in a panic: "Is it a thunder account room?" ”

Rong Zheng smiled and said, "You expected it well. I haven't said yes yet, I said I'd ask what you mean. Tell me, what do you think? ”

Zi Su said: "What can the slave and maid think, naturally what the grandmother asks the slave and maid to do, the slave and maid will ......."

"I don't like to hear that. If I'm in a hurry to push you out, why do I want to ask you what you mean? You and Ziying are my right-hand men. Ziying has now become a family and has something to rely on, how can I bear to ignore you. You don't look down on that person, I just need your words. ”

The perilla did not open the cavity for half a day.

Rong Zheng was a little anxious, Zi Su usually told her everything, why did she twist it at the most critical time, and said busily: "You give a word!" ”

"But it's up to grandma."

Rong Zheng was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Of course I will have arrangements, if you don't look down on him, then what should I do, I just want you to say a happy word." ”

Grandma suddenly asked the slave maid this, where could the slave and maid answer? Please let the slave think about it and come back to grandma in a few days. Besides, I have to discuss this matter with my mother. ”

Rong Zheng felt that he was a little persecuted by Zisu, his mood eased a little, and he smiled: "Okay, I'll ask you when you come back from home." You think about it for a few days. ”

Shiso calmed down at this time.

When he got up early on the second day, Rong Zheng suddenly remembered that the Cui family was missing from the gift list. Although she has no dealings with the Cui family, Cui Shangzhou has been helping Mu Xuan with things. Now Cui Shangzhou is Li Shiniang's fiancΓ© again, and he will inevitably move around in the future. had to order someone to add the Cui family. The gifts were redistributed. She sent Xiao Wang's family to help deliver the things from the Cui family.

Zi Su took a burden to say goodbye to Rong Zheng, and Rong Zheng saw that she had pulled a half-old ink burden, and asked Zi Su to untie the burden to her. There were two clothes to change of clothes with them, as well as a ruler and a handkerchief to wrap their heads. A new pair of men's shoes should be for Ye Lin.

Rong Zheng frowned and said, "This is too shabby." He rewarded two pieces of Hangzhou silk to Rong Zheng again, and gave her two gilded hairpins inlaid with treasures. Two boxes diǎn heart.

Zisu thanked Rong Zheng and then boarded the car and went home.

Rong Zheng went to say goodbye to the county lord, and she was going back to Rong's house. The accompanying maid brought Ruyi and Mei Fen. The mother-in-law only brought Xiao Wang's family.

The county lord smiled and said, "It's okay to go back and play for a few more days." Don't forget about this, let's play comfortably for two days. ”

"Yes!" Rong Zheng smiled and said goodbye to the county lord. (To be continued.) )
