Chapter 13: The Struggle of the Concubines, the Reward of the Father
After Rong Jingyu returned to the Yixin Garden, she simply washed up and fell asleep tiredly under the service of Yingluo, one of Mrs. Rong's several personal maids.
This sleep was deep, and it was not until dawn that Rong Jingyu reluctantly opened her eyes under Yingluo's call.
Although there is a sleep aid, Rong Jingyu's spirit is still a little sluggish, yesterday's fatigue turned into swollen eyelids, and he fell home on that delicate and beautiful face openly, making the psychic eyes less capable of grabbing people's hearts.
Yingluo finished dressing Rong Jingyu and looked at her eyes with some sorrow, "The slave maid will go and boil two eggs later, rub them for a while, and it should be gone." β
The eldest lady's body is really not sloppy at all, as long as she is tired, she will definitely look bad on the second day, this eyelid is swollen, Yingluo almost has to see it once in a few days in the first two years, and it is much better in the second two years, but there are also a few occasional times.
Yingluo couldn't help sighing, the two grandmothers, as well as Hua Sheng, Bu Shao, Yin Chuan, and Dian Cui, all went to Hongmo Garden with the old lady, and they didn't come back all night, so they left her and Zhuzhu to preside over affairs in the courtyard.
On weekdays, she always envied Hua Sheng's green eyes of the old lady, and the big and small things in the yard were handed over to her, but when she came by herself, she found that those jobs were really not easy, and she only hoped that Hua Sheng and the others would come back sooner, so that she could return the errands in her hand earlier.
"There's Sister Lao Yingluo." Rong Jingyu pursed her lips and smiled slightly, sat in front of the rosewood carved peony flower and leaf mirror in a dignified manner, asked Yingluo to help her comb her hair, noticed the different quietness in the Summer Garden, and asked, "Grandmother, they didn't return overnight yesterday?" β
"I really can't hide anything from the eldest lady." Yingluo was surprised that Rong Jingyu even knew this, in order to make Rong Jingyu feel at ease, Yingluo said, "Although Hongmo Garden is not as good as the Yixin Garden that she is used to, but with Sister Huasheng and the two grandmothers here, it will definitely make the old lady live comfortably, but Miss, don't be sad these days." β
This is not only for her good, but Rong Jingyu is not a person who does not cherish her body, so she naturally will not refuse. "Sister Yingluo, rest assured, my father is fine, and Jingyu is also relieved, and she won't hurt her mind anymore." At the end, she added: "Sister Lao Yingluo is worried about Jingyu." β
She has always gotten along very well with the waiters in the courtyard, in addition to her likable personality and age, another big reason is these subtle words of thanks and concern, which have shortened the distance between her and the other party a lot.
But anyone who works on an errand at the owner of the mansion, even if he is just an ordinary waiter serving tea and cleaning, cannot be easily underestimated. It is not strange to be polite, and if you are polite, you will not suffer after all.
When Yingluo heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but hook her lips, "The eldest lady can not hurt her spirits, and it is worth it to let the slave and maid be more careful." As she spoke, she flexibly combed Rong Jingyu's hair with her fingers, glanced at Rong Jingyu's smoky blue and pink embroidered gold-length skirt, and picked out a pair of butterfly wing rings of blue and white jade for Rong Jingyu to wear from the jewelry box in the small drawer of the mirror table, and hung a green jade Ruyi cloisonnΓ© silk ring.
After looking at it for a while, Yingluo put away her hand with satisfaction, packed up her things, and took Jingyu downstairs to eat.
When Jingyu drank porridge, Yingluo went to her small kitchen in Yixinyuan to cook two eggs, peeled the shells, and when it was almost cold, Jingyu also finished eating.
Rong Jingyu was lying on the bed of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Arhat in the middle of the room, the warm eggs were rolling in her eyes, and the soreness of her nerves relaxed made her relax her body comfortably.
The sunlight poured down from the window, gilding the pale face with a warm color, but the face that should have been bright could no longer be seen clearly, as if it was a Buddha in the light.
Yingluo was slightly stunned, looking at Rong Jingyu with a serene expression, and suddenly a trance rose, the trance eldest lady did not lie in front of her, but lay in the clouds, so far away.
Rong Jingyu noticed that Yingluo's movements stopped, and she brushed her hand away with some confusion, and Zhu Zhu walked over from the main hall and bowed to Rong Jingyu, "Miss, you are here, Mother Liu is back, and she is looking for you, saying that the adults want to see you and take you to Hongmo Garden." β
While talking, Liu's mother came over, and after entering the door, she said hello to Yingluo and Zhuzhu, and then walked to Rong Jingyu, who had already sat up at this time, smoothed the folds on her clothes, and said happily: "Miss, the adult woke up last night and heard that you saved him, so I specially asked us to take you over, hurry, don't delay the time, let the adult wait for a long time." β
No wonder Mother Liu is so excited, the eldest lady has always lived in a shallow way, was raised in the Summer Garden, because of her body, she never walks around much, and she is a companion with the old lady on weekdays. Sometimes I met an adult or a lady who came to ask for peace, and the time we got along was not long, and most of the adults and the lady said a few words, or because they were busy with things, or for other reasons, they said goodbye.
The relationship between father and daughter, mother and daughter is weak, and the adults have never taken the initiative to ask to see the eldest lady, and the lady still remembers it at first, but since the third miss and the eldest son were born, all the energy has been poured into the third lady and the eldest son, and the eldest lady was directly forgotten in the Summer Garden.
If it weren't for staring at the identity of the eldest lady, and the old lady, I am afraid that I would be left out in the corner.
Now that Rong Hanmo wants to see Rong Jingyu, how can Liu's mother, who has been assigned to take care of Rong Jingyu since she was a child, not be excited? She was glad that the adults finally remembered the eldest lady, and with this time, presumably the adults would not forget the eldest lady in the future.
She straightened out her clothes, only to find that the color Rong Jingyu was wearing today was plain and peaceful, without any fresh color, and quickly turned her head to Yingluo and Zhuzhu on the side and said: "Go and take the eldest lady to change into brighter clothes, didn't Hongfulou send a silver and red makeup flower Yunjin jacket over a while ago?" With the tooth-colored satin horse-faced skirt, the jewelry is the pink beads and jade jade, the gold filigree red treasure unicorn ring and the gold bell bracelet. β
Seeing her like this, Rong Jingyu called out the two people who wanted to get the clothes, and said helplessly, "Why is Mother Liu so excited, Jingyu, as a daughter, to see her father is a common thing, just dress normally, but deliberately it is inappropriate." She sighed, "What's more, my father's injury has not healed, and Jingyu is dressed up brightly at this time to visit, but I am afraid that I will tell the truth." β
When Mother Liu heard these words, she also reacted, thinking about what she said, she was afraid of floating on her face after wiping it, and she slapped herself twice, "What the eldest lady said is right, blame Mother Liu for being happy when she got the news, and she fell into paranoia, and almost made a mistake." Liu Ning blamed herself for a while, and secretly made up her mind never to make the same mistake again, so she ended her self-blame and asked Rong Jingyu's opinion: "Then Miss, shall we pass like this?" β
"Or else?" Rong Jingyu asked rhetorically, without waiting for Liu's mother to answer, she said, "Liu's mother, let's go." β
As soon as Rong Jingyu entered the Hongmo Garden with half a foot, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed painting inside, who stepped forward and said with a smile: "Eldest Miss Fu'an." After the salute, Tihua couldn't wait to say, "Miss, come into the house quickly, your lord is waiting for you in the house." β
Rong Jingyu bowed his head, "The atmosphere of Guanhong Moyuan is joyful and lively, is there anyone else?" "Compared with yesterday, Hongmo Garden is filled with an active joy, this joy is just the words of those people in a few courtyards, it can't be made, it must be a group of masters chatting, let the waiters out, and then have the atmosphere that Rong Jingyu felt when he entered the garden.
"In addition to the adult, the old lady and the lady, the two concubines and the second lady are also here." "At this time, I will wait for the eldest lady to pass." β
Hearing that the two concubines were also here, Rong Jingyu couldn't help but be curious. She had never seen her father's two concubines in the Summer Garden, nor had she seen their remaining children.
Listen to Bu Shao and say: 'Second Miss Rongyun's biological mother Lian Wanhan has a delicate personality and is empathetic, and she is deeply favored by adults. Although Wang Nan, the biological mother of the fourth lady and the second son, is from a big family, she has a cold temperament, and before she has the remaining children, her status is not as good as Lian Wanhan, who has no family background. β
Now that she has the opportunity, she must take a good look, and maybe he will fight each other one day, so that he will not know anything about the other party.
The door was open, and as soon as Rong Jingyu appeared outside the door, she attracted attention.
"I've seen my father, I've seen my mother." Rong Jingyu saluted in a proper manner, she didn't see Mrs. Rong, she must have been upstairs or in a side room or cubicle.
"Presumably this is the eldest lady." Rong Jingyu looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was a woman wearing a light gauze white background printed hibiscus full-breasted skirt, with a delicate face, watery apricot eyes looked pitiful, but the slightly raised corners of her eyes added a touch of charm, making her not obsessed with plain white, like a peach with a spring bud blooming lightly, delicate and fresh, without the extreme scorching fragrance of blooming, some are just soft red and light pink, delicate and delicate with rain and dew.
Next to her was a woman dressed in a blue dress with a white curl embroidered with blue and white flowers. The woman's makeup is elegant, simple and generous, her beautiful face is faint, and her beautiful eyes are calm and unrestrained, just like the green lotus in front of the Buddha shrine, which is out of the dust.
Contacting the information he heard from Bu Shao, Rong Jingyu knew that the peach blossom-like concubine was Lian's concubine, and the concubine Nan was like Qinglian.
"The eyebrows are like distant mountains, the eyes are like autumn water, the hair is like the floating clouds of smoke, the skin is the essence of ice jade, and the bearing is calm and elegant, what a beauty!" Lian Wanhan was full of praise, "At a young age, I already have the appearance of heaven and man, and I don't know how to fall into the country and the city when I grow up." β
She turned her head and said to Lan Qinxi: "Madame was famous back then, and now the eldest lady is so good-looking, and when she grows up, I am afraid that the laurel of the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River must be the eldest lady." β
Lan Qinxi would not be unhappy when she heard someone praise her daughter, and said with a faint smile: "I can't say it so surely, Jingyu is still far from the title of 'the first beauty in Jiangnan'." There was a little bit of humility and pride between the words, and there was a little bit of melancholy and expectation that others couldn't hear, but was captured by Rong Jingyu below.
It seems that there are quite a few stories in this...... The first beauty in Gangnam? Rong Jingyu didn't care, but she knew that other women wouldn't think like her. In terms of beauty, any woman with some looks will not be willing to admit defeat, just as she herself is not completely unconcerned about her appearance, but her reputation is tiring, and she is not sensitive to it.
"Madame is too modest, Miss Xianchen was the No. 1 beauty in Jiangnan back then, Madame only had one move behind the opponent's chess, and Miss Jingyu was so good, she will definitely be better than the blue in the future, and win the championship in one fell swoop, right, Sister Nan?" Concubine Lian smiled and asked the opinion of the concubine Nan next to her.
Even the concubine's move is not ruthless, but anyone who knows a little about the events of the year can know that Lan Qinxi has always been worried about missing the name of 'the first beauty in Jiangnan', and even the concubine can say it, but the concubine in the south can't respond at will.
Concubine Nan glanced at her coldly, and said to Lan Qinxi, who was sitting above: "The eldest lady's appearance is indeed rare in Wang Nan's life, even Miss Xianchen back then was slightly inferior, but now she is still young, and she can't see such a peerless appearance." β
Even the concubine wanted to pull the southern concubine into the water, but it also depended on whether the southern concubine was willing to go down for a visit, she avoided the edge of the concubine and did not offend the Lanqin Creek above.
However, she is not exaggerating, this eldest lady is really beautiful to surprise Concubine Nan...... Although the complexion is less bloody, it also makes the other party more like a jade man, standing in the world and transcending the world.
Thinking of the woman who was as bright as the sun and as charming as a poppy, Concubine Nan's heart still trembled slightly: that beauty, like a flame, was scorching hot, and the world was like a moth, knowing the ending, she couldn't help but fly over uncontrollably, and she couldn't tell whether it was a light source or a candle flame.
Concubine Nan looked at Rong Jingyu with complicated eyes, this eldest lady is even better than that person, and her appearance can't be seen now, but the kind of unadorned, light clouds and light wind flow out of the spaciousness, let her recall the scene of standing on the top of the mountain and watching the sunrise, she can almost imagine the waves when the other party grows up.
Rong Hanmo sat on the seat, took a sip of tea, let the three women in his backyard intrigue, and said to Rong Jingyu: "This is Concubine Lian, this is Concubine Nan, and this is your sister Rong Yun." Even if he was injured, it didn't eliminate the majesty of Rong Hanmo's family master, and as soon as he spoke, everyone in the room stopped and listened to him.
Rong Jingyu understood, took a step forward, and gave a half-salute to the three people who met for the first time, "Jingyu has seen Concubine Nan, Concubine Lian, and Second Sister." β
Rong Yun is in the arms of the concubine, she is not very old, and she does not seem to Rong Jingyu to come over, she can't understand what the adults say, but she can feel that this sister seems to be very popular, and she can't help but be full of envy, thinking of herself, looking at Rong Jingyu's sight, there is already some inferiority complex and jealousy.
"The eldest lady is very polite." The two concubines naturally wouldn't let Rong Jingyu salute them, in terms of identity, Rong Jingyu was only higher than them, they were just taking advantage of their seniority, so they could get a half-courtesy from each other.
Even the concubine touched Rong Yun, "Yun'er, don't call your sister soon, you have to get along with your sister in the future, you know?" β
Rong Yun called out to her sister a little timidly, Rong Jingyu smiled back, and her impression of it was the eyes with inferiority complex and longing in envy, and the bright facial features that were not like her mother.
"I heard afterwards that you saved me." Rong Hanmo saw that Rong Jingyu and the others had finished speaking, and said to Rong Jingyu and Yan Ruise: "Over the years, because you live with your grandmother, I have sometimes neglected you, but you have no trace of resentment, and you did not hesitate to detoxify and heal my injuries when the doctor was delayed, which really made my father feel deeply guilty. β
"I heard that your grandmother and mother both promised you a reward, and I, as a father, and saved by you, deserve a better reward than your grandmother and mother."
When Rong Jingyu heard this, he was a little surprised, and he had some unexpected feelings, and he couldn't help but be curious about the reward that the other party said.
Mother's reward is enough, is it a better reward than grandmother's?
Rong Jingyu is looking forward to it, what is it.
