Chapter 103: The Rong Family
Zhou took a step back, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "The third uncle really has a good eye, sure enough, the beauty of this life is just upside down, and this work of observing words and colors is much better than us!" Rong Qi has always had to give up the edge of this powerful second sister-in-law, and when she heard this, she only smiled lightly, and Qiu Shi had already said: "What the second aunt said is that you can't let the old man wait for a long time." ”
Zhou's lips pursed up before he said: "Speaking of which, there are more people in this family going out, and no one is like this time, the old man gathered people in the hall early to wait!" Qiu Shi didn't answer her, Zhou's eyes glanced at Yan Ran again, and then Shi Shiran walked into the hall.
Qiu Shi had already whispered: "Second Aunt is such a personality, don't pay attention to her!" "Yan Ran only answered one word, the first time she arrived, of course, she listened more and watched less, as for this Zhou's, whether it is pretending to be strong in pinching the tip, or is it serious and so personal, you always have to take a look at it.
At this time, several people had already walked into the hall, and as soon as Qiu Shi entered the hall, he left Yanran to stand with her husband. There was already a housekeeper lady who put down the prayer mat in front of Master Rong, and Rong Qi and Yanran both stepped forward to greet Master Rong.
Although he hadn't seen him for four or five months, Master Rong had a tired look on his face, and he seemed to have a few more wrinkles, and he nodded when he saw Rong Qi's expression: "Okay, you're back, it's good, the family is just to be reunited." ”
Rong Qi responded with a word, and said a few words of hard work, before Master Rong said to Rong Qi: "You have been married to your daughter-in-law for a few months, and you should also let your daughter-in-law meet your brothers and sisters-in-law!" Rong Qi should be, so he got up with Yanran and went to salute his brothers and sisters-in-law one by one.
Uncle Rong and Second Master Rong were already prepared, and they each gave the gifts, and when the Second Master Rong put down the gifts, he smiled and said: "Third brother and sister, your sister-in-law has such a temper, in the future, if something happens to you, don't put it in your heart!" ”
"Well, ruining my reputation in front of others again!" Zhou said with a smile, but he had already reached out and twisted Rong Erye's arm. Rong Erye laughed and didn't say anything else. Yan Ran has already guessed this contrived, but I'm afraid that Zhou's straight temper is just pretending, but what's so terrible about this?
Yanran smiled lightly, and sat next to Rong Erye and them, and Rong Siye came to meet his brother and sister-in-law. Rong Siye is seventeen this year, the youngest of several nephews, I heard that he has already made a marriage, and he is only waiting for April to marry.
Seeing that several of his nephews were sitting down, Master Rong swept around before asking, "What about Yuzhi?" Didn't she know that her third brother and sister-in-law would come back today? Why not in the hall? ”
"Master, the eldest lady said, when the third master and the third grandmother come back, I will invite her!" A voice came from behind Master Rong, and Yan Ran found that there was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman standing behind Master Rong, she lowered her eyebrows, and stood with the maids, at first Yan Ran mistakenly thought she was a servant, but at this moment, she found that although she was dressed plainly, the clothes and the jewelry on her hair were different from others. Come to think of it, this is the housekeeper's Aunt Zhu, so low-key and indifferent, it is really not the same as Yanran's imagination.
Sure enough, Master Rong had already snorted coldly: "It's you who spoiled her, at such a time, how could you ask your brother and sister-in-law to wait for her to have a child." ”
"Dad, you also know that I am still a child, let my brother and sister-in-law wait for me for a while, I think they will also take care of it!" Saying Cao Cao Cao Da, Yan Ran only felt that the red light flashed in front of her, and she saw a girl standing there talking to Master Rong, and then the girl had tilted her head to look at Rong Qi: "Third brother, you say, will you take care of me?" ”
Bright and delicate, this is Yanran's first impression of Rong Yuzhi, from what she wears, you can see how favored this girl is in this family. But for some reason, Yan Ran always felt that there was a burning feeling in her eyes, and it was said that this feeling should not appear in such a girl. And then soon the scorching was gone, fast, like it was just an illusion.
Master Rong was already smiling, and this smile came from the heart: "You, it's okay to be normal, it's ...... today."
"Daddy's words are not right, just because it is a family member, my daughter can come later!" Rong Yuzhi looked coquettish, and Master Rong had already shook his head: "That's it, I can't talk about you, hurry up and see your brother and sister-in-law!" ”
Rong Yuzhi stuck out his tongue lightly, and stepped forward to salute Rong Qi and his wife, and when he saluted, he was not like Fang Cai at all. Since everyone is together, and they have each seen the ceremony, Master Rong also said a few words to everyone, but they are all a family, and they must work hard to make any contradictions.
After these few words, Steward Chen also came to report that the people were already waiting there to see the new young grandmother. Master Rong asked Rong Qi and his wife to go out, and when Rong Qi and his wife went out, Zhou said: "Uncle treats all of us the same!" ”
"They are all hired by the Rong family, and they are all the daughters-in-law of the Rong family, if they are treated differently, it will be wrong!" Master Rong's voice was very light, and Rong Yuzhi was already grinning: "Second sister-in-law, this is angry!" ”
Zhou's eyes rolled, and before he could say anything, Aunt Zhu had already said: "Master, the third grandfather and the third grandmother have been on the road for a month, it must be very hard, their yard has been cleaned up, do you want to invite them to go down and rest?" ”
"Let them go down and rest for a while, for the feast will be at night! Also, are you ready for a banquet? Although they have become relatives in the capital, when they return to Yangzhou, they still have to invite relatives and friends, so that everyone can know what our third grandmother of the Rong family is like. ”
Master Rong's command made Zhou's eyelids jump, and Second Master Rong pressed her hand, but Zhou didn't speak.
"Just wait for the master to set the date, and I still want to invite those important guests!" Aunt Zhu has always been gentle and calm, and this time is no exception. Master Rong sighed and said: "It's set for the fourth day of the third month, if you want to be a guest, please do it as usual!" ”
Aunt Zhu should be again, so she went out and asked Rong Qi and his wife to go back to rest, and Master Rong let everyone disperse. When Zhou returned to the room, he couldn't help but complain to her husband: "What are you stopping me from doing?" Who doesn't know that she is just a maid, and she will ...... then"
"The woman is a husband, she married the third brother, she is the daughter-in-law of the Rong family, the uncle has said so, if you shout about her background again, it will inevitably be a little bad!" Although Rong Erye said this, a cold light still flashed in his eyes.
Zhou couldn't help but snort, and Second Master Rong had already said: "But this kind of thing, our family can listen to it, is it possible that people outside are willing to listen to it?" If outsiders refuse to associate with her, then uncle's plan will be in vain! ”
To be a good head of the house, it is not enough to rely on a man alone, and the wife must also help from within. Zhou already understood what her husband meant, and said with a smile: "On that day, the general judge lady will also be invited, I want to see what she says to the general judgment lady." ”
Zhou's words made Second Master Rong smile, and he patted his wife's shoulder: "Don't take your uncle's words to heart, no matter how much you lift it, it's just a maid, and the Zheng family is a descendant of the Hou Mansion, after all, it's just a house slave, what else can you change?" ”
Zhou understood, but still said: "What if the lady is sentenced to promote her?" ”
Flattering? Rong Erye sneered, his wife didn't understand what those high-profile women were thinking, did she think they were all the same as her? The general judgment lady will not raise this grandmother Rong San, otherwise, where will her face go? The next person is the next person, even if the three media and six are married, they are still the next people.
Aunt Zhu kept sending Yanran and his wife back to their room, and when they walked into the courtyard, they saw that the maid brought by Yanran was directing people to put those suitcases and cages into the room. When Aunt Zhu saw those suitcases and cages, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, not all of them said that Yanran was born as a maid, but look at these cages, there are also a lot of dowries. If it is said that it is all purchased by Master Rong, Aunt Zhu is a hundred people who don't believe it, and Master Rong treats several nephews the same in terms of money, the same month, the same maid and servant, and the same furniture.
Although she thought so, Aunt Zhu still smiled and said: "The furniture in this courtyard should all be new, and some of them will have to wait for the luggage to arrive, and the third grandmother will look at what she loves and put it together!" ”
Yanran said that there was a lot of work, the maid had already stepped forward to salute, and Aunt Zhu said again: "According to the master's order, in each master's courtyard, there are six maids, two mothers-in-law, and two small servants." Since the third grandmother has brought these people, please give me the roster, and I will send a monthly report next month! ”
Yanran was already prepared, and asked the maid to send the list, Aunt Zhu took it and looked at it and said with a smile: "The maid brought by the third grandmother should be first-class according to the original routine." There are two maids left, a mother-in-law and a small servant, and then I will let someone send someone to pick and choose for the third grandmother. The third grandfather and the third grandmother are also invited to enter the house to rest first, and when it is time to eat, I will ask the third grandfather and three grandmothers to come! ”
Yan Ran also felt a little tired, and didn't keep Aunt Zhu to watch her take people away, and then she walked into the house, and the maid had already lifted the curtain: "Grandma, the housekeepers have just come to say, it turns out that this first-class maid of the Rong family has two taels of silver a month!" ”
Yanran touched the teapot, saw that there was tea in it, it was still hot, and she was going to pour a cup of tea to drink, but after listening to the maid's words, she almost smashed the teapot.
The maid was quick-eyed, hurriedly took the teapot, poured tea for Yanran, and said, "Grandma, but this house is different from the original, I'm afraid of ......"
"What are you afraid of? They all serve people the same, but they can't be discharged! Rong Qi has already looked inside and out, Aunt Zhu is doing things, naturally people can't find fault with it, and when she walked back, Rong Qi heard the maid say this, and said casually.
