Huaizi Niang poured Rong Zheng a full cup of fragrant tea. She was silent, and stood in front of her for a while without knowing what to say. I had to retreat to the room below.

It was Zisu who accompanied Rong Zheng out, Rong Zheng sat in the hall and waited left and right and didn't see Mu Xuan coming, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart: This person is interesting, he asked her to meet, but he didn't show up. If it's too late, she'll be gone.

Rong Zhengwu sat by himself for a quarter of an hour, and Zi Su talked with him for a while. Suddenly Lei Bo came, he walked in with a smiling face, bowed to Rong Zheng, and asked with a smile: "Miss does you need any help with running errands?" ”

Rong Zheng was a little surprised: "You don't keep the shop, why are you running here?" ”

Lei Bo said with a smile: "Miss finally went out of the door, and there are not many people with her, if you want to call an errand, you can't have no one." Lei Bo said, looking at Shiso again. Seeing that Zisu was staring at him, Lei Bo's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly lowered his head, pretending not to know.

Lei Bo said: "There is a deli shop in front, the business is very hot, and the chestnut cakes they sell are very good. The little one went to buy two boxes for the young lady, and the young lady tried it, how about it? ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "I'll let Huaizi buy two boxes, what kind of fun are you going to follow." You don't care about the shop? Since the shopkeeper has returned, well, you let him come to me, I just have something to say to him. ”

Lei Bo agreed to pass the word, and Zi Su got up and said, "I'll send Brother Lei." ”

Rong Zheng had nothing to say.

The two walked to the courtyard gate, Lei Bo stopped, turned around and smiled at Zi Su and said, "Sister Zi Su, your needlework is so good, I don't know if you have time to help me make another pair?" I didn't let my sister out of the fabric and cotton thread, so I went to buy it myself and didn't work for my sister. After my sister is done, I will calculate the best salary for my sister, how about it? ”

Zi Su smiled: "You can afford my craftsmanship and wear it well, so I'll make another pair for you." What do you want cloth cotton thread. Wages were also waived. I used to take so much care of my brother when I was in Lutang. This kindness has not been repaid. It's just that if you rush to ask for it now, it may be too late. Miss's wedding date is approaching, and there are many things at hand. Wait a while. ”

Lei Bo blushed and said, "I'm not in a hurry, my sister can do it whenever I want, I just don't miss my sister's business......" He hesitated again and again before opening his mouth to test: "Miss is about to marry into the Mu family." How did the young lady arrange for her sister? ”

Shisu also blushed, bowed his head and said, "Miss chose me as a dowry." ”

Lei Bo nodded and said, "This is also expected. Take care, sister, I'm going forward. If the young lady wants to find me for something, just go up and say a word. ”

Shiso nodded in agreement. Lei Bo turned and walked away. Shiso stood there and sent him out.

Rong Zheng was bored drinking tea, and accidentally looked up at the courtyard, but saw the two of them standing at the courtyard gate talking. After a long time of muttering, the last one was gone, and the other was still standing in place and watching.

This situation made Rong Zheng suddenly understand. She didn't notice such a thing under her nose. When Shisu walked into the house, Rong Zheng looked at Shisu's face attentively, but saw that Shisu's cheeks were slightly red. Rong Zheng understood everything, and she pretended to be calm. When nothing happened.

Zi Su saw that the tea in Rong Zheng's tea cup was already cold, and he hurriedly said that he wanted to pour hot water for Rong Zheng again. Rong Zheng didn't stop her.

Mu Xuan finally came, he strode into the threshold, walked to the hall, and hurriedly apologized to Rong Zheng: "I'm really sorry, I'm late, let you wait." ”

There was obviously a trace of impatience on Rong Zheng's face, but his words were faint, and he said, "Just sit for a while, do you have anything to do with asking me out?" ”

Mu Xuan's eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at Rong Zheng. In the past six months, he has been thinking about Bianliang all the time, no matter when, no matter what he does. He always thought about the third lady of the Rong family in Bianliang. After more than 20 years of pure desire, he tasted what acacia is for the first time. When he finally returned to Bianliang, he couldn't wait to see her. Now that we finally have to see each other, Mu Xuan forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said slowly: "It's been half a year since I left." I just want to hear you talk. ”

Rong Zheng thought to himself, the two had not had a deep friendship before, and when he was thinking about how to reply to Mu Xuan's words, Done Yonggui came over.

"Miss, are you looking for something small?" When he stepped into the threshold, he suddenly found Mu Xuan here, and his face was surprised.

Rong Zheng glanced at Mu Xuan, then at Farewell Yonggui, nodded and said, "Well, I have something to discuss with you." She looked at Mu Xuan again, and said to herself, are you interested in going outside and waiting for a while, or are you going to drink tea on the side?

Mu Xuan got up and said, "You talk slowly, I'll go stand outside for a while." ”

Bei Yonggui looked a little uncomfortable, Mu Xuan will also be his master in the future.

Rong Zheng smiled with satisfaction: "Uncle Mu, please wait first, I will discuss the matter with the other shopkeeper and then talk to you again." ”

"It doesn't matter, you speak slowly." Mu Xuan went out by herself.

Rong Zheng asked Yonggui to sit down, and talked to him about Ziying again.

Ziying gave birth to a son for another family, and the other family's wife liked it very much.

"I chose your house to be my roommate. In the future, I will rely on you to help me, and the things in the shop will still be taken care of by you, and there may be other more important things to be assigned to you in the future. ”

Bei Yonggui said solemnly: "The little one must live up to the trust of Miss." ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "I still know your ability. Go back and talk to you Ziying, and let her be ready to come in and help me in the future. ”

Don't be forever.

Rong Zheng said again: "It's not in a hurry now, let's talk about it when the child grows up." Then he talked about the business of the shop, the business was not very good this month, Rong Zheng nodded and said: "I have already read the account book, and there is a new one not far away, which must have an impact on our family." Hold on for a while, and wait until the New Year to see it. ”

Don't Yonggui has no choice but to do so at present.

The master and servant talked about business matters, Rong Zheng looked up and looked outside, but saw Mu Xuan standing under the eaves with his hands in his hands. Bei Yonggui is an interesting person, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Miss has no other instructions, and the little one will retire." After all, there's still something going on over there in the shop. ”

Rong Zheng nodded and said, "It's nothing, you go down." I'll have someone write to you if I have anything to say. Wait until the child is a little older, find a good weather and let Ziying carry him into the house and I'll take a look. ”

Don't Yonggui should claim to be. He turned around and went out, and Mu Xuan nodded before leaving here.

Mu Xuan turned back again, and he took away the perilla in front of him. I moved my chair and sat down next to Rong Zheng.

Rong Zheng wanted to ask him what he was doing in the capital, but he felt that he shouldn't ask about him, so he didn't speak. Instead, he asked, "Is the county lord okay lately?" ”

Mu Xuan said: "It's okay." ”

Rong Zheng remembered the events of his previous life, the lord of the county who returned to the county is said to have died young, and in the end he did not live long. But according to her current point of view, the Duanhui County Lord is in good health. It should not die suddenly. There's something strange in my heart.

"What about you, how are you doing? Is everything in order at home? ”

Rong Zheng nodded and said, "It's okay, I don't usually go out." ”

Mu Xuan said: "I was most worried about your safety before, but I will get married soon." In the future, it will be a family, and it will be much easier for me to take care of you. Not long after getting married. We may have to go to the capital. ”

"What are you doing in the capital?" Rong Zheng hurriedly asked, could it be that Mu Xuan and her knew that she wanted to go to the capital?

Mu Xuan said: "At the end of the year, I will enter Beijing to congratulate." It's this rule every year, I'm so old, I still went with the prince when I was a child. I'm going to take you there this year. ”

"Oh." Rong Zheng still wants to live in the capital in the future.

Mu Xuan saw Rong Zheng's hands on her knees like onions, and finally couldn't help but cover it with her big hand and gently hold her hand.

Mu Xuan obviously felt that Rong Zheng's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you afraid of me?" ”

Rong Zheng nodded truthfully.

Mu Xuan was slightly surprised, and said at the same time: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it would make you feel scared." ”

Rong Zheng continued to say sincerely: "The more I get married, the more uneasy I feel. I was very worried. Rong Zheng couldn't tell Mu Xuan that she had experienced a failed marriage, and in the face of such a man who was not very familiar, she was indeed not sure about the future days. So this time, whether she was suitable or not, she had to come out to see him, and she wanted to make it clear in person.

Mu Xuan wanted to give her a hug, but she was afraid that this rash move would make Rong Zheng even more confused, so her outstretched hand stopped in mid-air and took it back, and said gently: "Do you know that I have been to Anyang?" ”

Where does Rong Zheng know, she shook her head blankly.

Mu Xuan said slowly: "When the princess said that she wanted to propose to your family, I still knew it from my sister. I heard that the object is you. I didn't object, after all, Xindao is a familiar person. And you may be able to live for a lifetime. Later, your father did not agree. My sister said that I don't have that fate with you, so I'll do it. But I'm not reconciled, Xindao has never worked hard. I have fought for it, if I miss you like this, I will leave regrets in the future, what will I regret? ”

Rong Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Mu Xuan when he heard this.

Mu Xuan continued to tell the story: "I don't care what my sister means, I stubbornly want to go to Anyang to find your father to understand." I finally arrived in Anyang, and I ate at your father's place. He didn't want to see me at all. Frankly. Twenty-four years of life, the first time someone treated me like this. I used to be arrogant, but somehow, I made a sideways heart, and I had to let your father see me, and I told him everything I wanted to say. ”

"I stood at your father's yamen for two whole days, and he didn't look at me. It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day, when it suddenly rained, that your father sent me a message from a servant to wait in the courtyard where your father lived. I finally met your father. He was very opposed at first, saying that he wanted to choose an ideal son-in-law for you, and I was not his ideal person. ”

"Actually, your father is right, I'm not much different from ordinary gentlemen. You know, it was from your father's setback that I decided to fight for the future. Ah Zheng, don't worry, I won't let you be wronged with me, and I won't let our future children be wronged. I know what path I should take now. I'm going to make a name for myself. ”

Rong Zheng looked at Mu Xuan blankly, she never thought that Mu Xuan would lower his body so much for her, he is the eldest son of the dignified vassal king, even if he is not the prince, as a clan, he is also noble and illustrious. Looking at the world, there are only a handful of people who are better than him, but there may be only Mu Xuan who can do this for her.

She couldn't help but be moved.

"None of these dads have ever mentioned it to me."

"It doesn't matter if you mention it or not, what matters is my determination to live with you for the rest of my life, and I hope you can have the same determination as me. Good no good? Mu Xuan's eyes were full of anticipation. He reached out again and held Rong Zheng's hand tightly, wanting to pass on his strength and courage to her.

"I promised your father to protect you. I'm a man who keeps my promises, I never make promises, and as long as I say it, I will do it. Zheng, please believe me! ”

Mu Xuan looked at Rong Zheng with burning eyes, and Rong Zheng lowered his head a little shyly. Both of them were speechless, and only time flowed quietly.

After returning from Xinghua Lane, Rong Zheng's mood became obviously brighter. The smiles on Du Shi and Huiqiu's faces also increased significantly.

Ruyi and Zisu around him were very pleased with the change in Rong Zheng, and Ruyi also said to Zisu in private: "It seems that this is the right time, I don't know what the prospective aunt said to our young lady." ”

Zisu didn't serve in front of him at that time, how did he know, so he said, "It's useless for you to ask me, I don't know." ”

Rong Zheng walked in, and the two immediately greeted him, Rong Zheng turned his head and Zi Su said, "You come in with me, I have something to ask you." ”

Shiso responded.

Rong Zheng sat on the kang, let Zisu sit on his feet, and asked, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”

Zi Su was puzzled: "Miss, how dare the slave." ”

Rong Zheng sneered, twisted Shisu's face, and joked, "Okay, I shouldn't have tried you like this." I'll just ask you what happened to you and that Rebo. Recruit from the truth! ”

Shisu blushed and said, "Miss! The slave and the maid are really nothing with him. When he was still in Lutang last year, he took care of his brother a lot, for; Thanks to him, I made him a pair of shoes. Today he told me that the shoes I made fit very well, and asked me to make another pair for him, and said what fabric and cotton thread he would come from. Listen, Miss, he has spoken, is it better that I can't excuse myself. The scraps of cloth will be searched for and you will have it. It's just that it's not free here, I said that I'll do it to him when I'm free, and I should only repay my kindness to my brother before. ”

Rong Zheng smiled after hearing this: "It's not easy for you to be a sister to do this job, and I can't care if you make shoes for him." If there's anything else you can't hide from me, you have to tell me. Otherwise, one day I would be confused, and I would have done something wrong, and I wouldn't know anything. ”

Zi Su was puzzled, why did Miss Xindao say this, and what did Miss mean by what she said. (To be continued.) )
