Chapter 185: Coming to Beijing
The promotion wine is finally over, and for two whole days, Rong Zheng has to personally inquire about everything. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info I was also very tired after two days.
Rong Zheng took out the gift list of the past two days and looked at it, and calculated an account in his heart, in addition to the cost of the banquet and the money spent by the troupe, there is still a profit in this calculation.
However, the earnings are only temporary, and they will have to be counted in the future, and even the additional ones will be returned one by one.
Sure enough, it was only ten days, the Zhang family's 100-day banquet, the Li family's 50th birthday, the Liu family's wife, and things came out one by one. Rong Zheng took out the gift list and instructed people to give gifts one by one. They have just arrived in the capital, and they will inevitably have to deal with these people in the future, so they can't put up a fight, and they have to go and sit for a long time before they can come back, regardless of their relatives.
At the end of June, Rong Zheng realized that she was pregnant again, she was just pregnant, and the fetal image had not yet sat down, so she didn't dare to do it herself. Fortunately, the housekeeper's mother, Zhongbai's mother, is a good hand, and even the nurse Xiao Wang can also help herself a lot. She gave a lot of things to the two of them to help with it. I ordered someone to invite a doctor to come to check the pulse, and after confirming that there was joy, I didn't leave the house much, and kept the baby quietly at home all day long.
Mu Xuan knew that Rong Zheng was pregnant again, and she was happier than anyone else, so she tried to come back early every day to accompany Rong Zheng. The things on the shop and the things on the Zhuangzi are also shared for Rong Zheng, which makes Rong Zheng worry a lot.
Mu Xuan spent a lot more time hugging Sister Yuan than before, and even told Sister Yuan repeatedly: "Niuniu, your mother has a baby in her belly, don't pester your mother, okay?" Wait until the baby comes out and you play with him. ”
Sister Yuan glanced at Rong Zheng's flat lower abdomen, and couldn't see any signs, so she asked a little incomprehensibly: "Xiao Xiaohou, I'm also in my mother's belly?" ”
"Yes, it's also when Niuniu is young. Do you like your mother to add you a sister or a brother? ”
Sister Yuan replied without thinking: "I want a brother." ”
Rong Zheng has a black line, where does she have the ability to give Sister Yuan a brother, and said with a smile: "It can only be a younger brother or sister, and my mother can't give birth to a brother." ”
Sister Yuan didn't do it anymore, and cried: "Brother, I want my brother." Brother Rui and Brother Xiang. ”
It's been a few months since she came to the capital, and Sister Yuan still remembers Brother Xiang of the fifteenth mother's family, and after coming to the capital, the crown princess often asked her to take Sister Yuan to play with Brother Rui. The crown princess likes Sister Yuan very much, so for Sister Yuan, Chengqian Palace is about to become her second home.
For Sister Yuan'er's unreasonable trouble, Rong Zheng and Mu Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, and they didn't know how to explain to her.
On the third day when Rong Zheng confirmed that she was pregnant, she received a letter from her father. The letter didn't ask her to help find a house, and Rong Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after saying some trivial things. She didn't have the energy to help find out what a suitable house to go to.
At the time of the Midyear Festival, Rong Zheng asked people to set up a shrine at home for Mu Xuan to pay tribute to his deceased mother, and also burned a few sets of clothes and hundreds of strings of gold and silver paper ingots to her biological mother who had been gone for many years to express her grief.
One day at the end of July, Mrs. Fang sent a mother-in-law to bring Rong Zheng a message: "The second master has brought his wife, young lady, and young master to Beijing together." I arrived in Beijing yesterday almost in the evening. ”
Rong Zheng was not surprised at all when he heard this, and nodded very calmly and said, "I know." Who else is with you? ”
The mother-in-law said: "There is also the third wife's sister-in-law, Mrs. Du, who brought her young master and grandmother, and the Liao family in Nanyang also came with her son and daughter-in-law. ”
I've heard that Du Mu came to Beijing with her, where did this Liao family come from?
All she cared about was her father, and she asked Huiqiu and Ronggui by the way, and she didn't care about the rest of the people at all.
The mother-in-law came to report to Rong Zheng in the morning, and just after the afternoon, Rong Jiang came to the door.
When his father came, Rong Zheng had to drag his uncomfortable body to receive him personally.
"Daddy has worked hard all the way."
Since Rong Zheng got married, he and his father haven't seen each other a few times in total, and suddenly feel that his father is much older, and the gray hair can be faintly seen on his temples.
The nurse brought Sister Yuan to salute her grandfather.
When Rong Jiang saw his granddaughter, he immediately changed into a kind and amiable smile, bent over, stretched out his arms, and motioned for Sister Yuan to go to his arms, he wanted to hug this granddaughter.
Sister Yuan was a little timid, and she couldn't stop looking at the somewhat elderly person in front of her with a pair of big black eyes. Rong Zheng taught beside him: "Niuniu, call grandpa." ”
Sister Yuan suddenly found something, looked at Rong Jiang and Rong Zheng back and forth, felt that there was some similarity between her eyebrows, and she was a little bolder, and finally plucked up her courage and called sweetly, "Grandpa!" ”
Rong Jiang's heart was about to melt, and he put his arm around Sister Yuan, let Sister Yuan sit on his lap, and said with a gentle smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, my precious granddaughter has grown so big." It's going to call people, so good! As he spoke, he kissed Sister Yuan's forehead affectionately.
In Rong Zheng's heart, his father has always been a majestic character, and when Brother Gui was born, he didn't see his father so intimate, but he was even more intimate with his granddaughter. really responded to the saying "hug grandchildren but not children".
Sister Yuan obviously didn't like her grandfather's intimacy very much, and it didn't take long for her to squirm and want to come down. Rong Jiang reluctantly let her go. Sister Yuan immediately wrapped herself around Rong Zheng, and the nurse on the side saw it and exclaimed, "Miss, come here." Be careful not to hurt grandma. ”
The nurse took Sister Yuan down. Rong Jiang glanced at his daughter with some doubts, and said in surprise: "Are you sick?" I also saw that my daughter's complexion was not bad, and she secretly didn't look like a patient.
Rong Zheng said with a smile: "Daddy is worried, I'm not sick, but I have a body again." It's not even three months here. ”
Rong Jiang then understood, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing." You have a son in this birth, and you have stood firm from then on. ”
Rong Zheng didn't like to hear this, although he was unhappy in his heart, his face was not obvious, and he said a little calmly: "I have already stood firm, but I can't give birth to a son to have status." ”
"You kid, seventeen or eighteen years old, why are you still ignorant. You take advantage of your youth, and your uncle gives birth to a son for their palace as soon as possible at home, and your position will be stable. In the future, if your uncle takes any more concubines, you don't have to be afraid. If you have children and daughters, others don't dare to covet half of you. Being a father is all about your good. ”
The first time her father told her to give birth to a son, Rong Zheng felt a little embarrassed, and now what kind of palace was brought out, she glanced at Rong Jiang calmly, and said slowly: "Daddy, you don't know yet." Our house has long been separated, and it has nothing to do with Yuwang's Mansion. ”
Rong Jiang's face sank, and he reprimanded lightly: "What nonsense, it doesn't matter what you want." Although my uncle did not inherit the title and was not a son, he was the eldest son and had a great relationship. ”
It seems that the news that King Yu wants to sever relations with Mu Xuan has not reached her father's ears, and she has dispelled the idea of explaining to her father. After all, the things involved in it are complicated, and my father is a somewhat pedantic and outdated person, so it is difficult to explain for a while, so he is busy talking about other topics.
"Why did Daddy bring Ma to Beijing, she's well, shouldn't she go back to Meihua Nunnery? Or has Daddy forgiven what Ma did in the first place? ”
In the past, when Rong Zheng and Ma Shi did not completely tear their faces, she would still respectfully call her "Mrs.", but now at this point, she no longer disdains to use this title.
Rong Jiang's face was a little embarrassed, and he explained with some difficulty: "Her illness is good and bad, and she has to be raised." Besides, your sister is also pitiful, how can she do without a mother by her side. Seeing that she is about to reach the age of kissing, I am afraid that she will be affected. ”
Rong Zheng knew that her father was soft-eared, her mother left early, and she had almost forgotten how her parents got along. In her previous life, she ended up so bleakly because of Ma's facilitation on the one hand, and on the other hand, her father had always been what Ma's said and couldn't stand the chatter. If there is no evidence to prove that Ma is not a good person in this life, I am afraid that my father will blindly listen to Ma's words. But even if there is evidence, what can be done, Ma didn't stay long in Meihua'an before he came out, and he went to Beijing with a cheeky face. It's never happened before. If my father was tougher, would he let Ma lead the way? Thinking of this, her heart also cooled down a little, and she was lazy to deal with it for a while, so she planned to use her lazy body to rest, and at this time Mu Xuan came back. Rong Zheng was still a little surprised, Mu Xuan came back half an hour earlier than usual, and I don't know if she learned the news that her father was coming.
Mu Xuan invited Rong Jiang to the study to speak.
Rong Jiang looked at his son-in-law with satisfaction, admitting that he didn't entrust the wrong person at the beginning, didn't look away, and said with a smile: "This time flies so fast, you have been to the northwest for more than three years, but you are becoming more and more sophisticated, I heard Sister Zheng'er's uncle say that you are now serving in the pro-guard army and promoted to the left commander, right?" ”
"My father-in-law is very well-informed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that first let me experience in the pro-guard army. In the past few years outside, I should accompany her in Ah Zheng. When I first came home, Sister Yuan didn't recognize me. ”
"It would be much better if you went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies." Rong Jiang always thinks that it is not a good thing for a man to love his family too much, so he should go out and have a good time.
"It's easy to say, but it's all arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince, and I listen to his dispatch."
Rong Jiang smiled: "It's also ......"
“…… Can my father-in-law find a place to settle down? ”
Rong Jiang shook his head and said, "It's too late, I'll stay at her uncle's house for the time being." Her eldest uncle said that there was no hurry, and it would be possible to find it slowly. ”
"What kind of house does my father-in-law want to buy?"
Rong Jiang sneered: "You can't overstep the system, buy a place with two in and two out, live first, and talk about it later." The location can't be too far away from you and your uncle's. ”
Mu Xuan knew it in her heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will pay attention to my father-in-law, and I will notify you if there is a suitable one." ”
Rong Jiang saw that his son-in-law was willing to help, so he expressed his gratitude.
Later, Rong Jiang greeted King Yu and the princess. Mu Xuan's expression was indifferent, and he said bluntly: "Father-in-law doesn't know yet, I have no contact with my family anymore." ”
Rong Jiang was very surprised, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and asked tentatively: "It's so decent, how can it be like this?" ”
Mu Xuan glanced at his father-in-law in front of him, and said in his heart that even if he was a father-in-law, he didn't want to tell his father-in-law about that bad thing, obviously he didn't want to explain more, so he said indifferently: "The past is over, let's not mention it." ”
"But...... You're too childish, aren't you? No matter how you say it, there are no parents in the world who are not. If you don't have the support of your family, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future. "Ordinary people are still like this, not to mention that Mu Xuan grew up in the prince's house.
Mu Xuan's face was a little cold, and he said, "I relied on myself to punch out, and I didn't want to rely on anyone." This heart has long since died. Father-in-law doesn't need to mention it anymore. ”
Rong Jiang became more and more puzzled in his heart, but when he saw that his son-in-law was unhappy, he didn't ask any further, and secretly wondered when he would call his daughter to inquire about it.
Mu Xuan stayed at Rongjiang for dinner, and before Rongjiang said goodbye, Mu Xuan ordered someone to send him off, and turned around and went to Rongzheng's room.
"Where is my dad leaving?"
"Gone."
Rong Zheng smelled the slight smell of alcohol on Mu Xuan's body, and said with a smile: "Let's drink with my father, my father doesn't drink well." Don't get him drunk. ”
Mu Xuan frowned and said, "I only drank two cups." Where to get drunk. ”
Two days later, it was still Mrs. Fang's mother-in-law who came here to bring a message to Rong Zheng.
"Our wife will set up a banquet at home tomorrow to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the second master and the second wife. Our wife came over and invited the third aunt and grandmother to come over tomorrow for a drink. ”
Rong Zheng had someone he didn't want to see, so after thinking for a while, he rejected Mrs. Fang's kindness, and the reason given was "I've not been in good health recently, and the doctor said that I should have a good life and recuperate." I can't eat a lot of things, so I'd better not go. In the end, I have to let my aunt take care of me, and I can't help it. I'll talk about it when I'm comfortable in the future. ”
The mother-in-law was a little embarrassed: "But the third aunt really doesn't go out for a walk?" I'm afraid that my wife will feel uncomfortable. ”
Rong Zheng said apologetically: "The doctor said that my pregnancy is not very good, and I want to rest well, so you can tell the aunt like this." She understood. ”
The mother-in-law had no choice but to go back to Mrs. Fang according to Rong Zheng's meaning.
When Mrs. Fang heard about it, she hurriedly said, "Forget it, let her rest well." I can't afford to miss something. ”
Ma pouted beside him and said disdainfully: "It's such a big shelf, and I don't even want to give the face of the elders." ”
Mrs. Fang had heard of what Ma had done, and she had been a little disdainful of this concubine before, but now she looked down even more, and sneered: "This is not a special case. I can understand her. Let her have a good life, and we will take the time to go to the door to see if she goes. ”
Ma took a step back, she didn't want to look at the little slut.
Mrs. Fang glanced at Ma's slanted glance, and secretly said that if it weren't for the face of her niece Sister Sheng, where would she be willing to take care of this unkind woman. (To be continued.) )
