Chapter 93: Drunkenness
"Niece, don't listen to her, her daughter, she was only spoiled by the prince a few days ago." Sure enough, Yan Ran was still thinking about it, and someone whispered in Yan Ran's ear.
It turned out that her daughter was taken in, no wonder she was dressed better than usual, Yanran secretly wondered. There is the round of the field: "This blessing, you have to look at everything, you have to say according to me, this, all of them are blessed, they are all stronger than us, and they are all able to wear gold and silver and go out and call grandma seriously." Like us, although we can buy a few bodies of gold and silver, we don't dare to wear it out in front of the master, let alone let the word grandma enter the master's ears. ”
This sentence caused everyone to nod and praise, and just as Yanran was about to speak, someone outside said: "Grandma Rongsan, the prince said, please let the third master go in and talk to the prince." "According to the ceremony, when a child like Yanran gets married, when he returns to the door, he and his husband always go to the Hou Mansion to kowtow to the masters, but Mrs. Zeng wants to raise Yanran, and she said early that she will let Yanran waive this gift, and on the day she returns to the door, she doesn't have to go in and kowtow again.
At this moment, I heard someone say that the prince invited Rong Sanye to come in and speak, and suddenly even the people in this room were honored, or the fast-talking one just now, and he had already praised it: "There are many people hired from outside, but there is no one like Yanran's niece, the prince invited her husband, and she used the word invitation, which is really, never honored." "When one says this, naturally someone will follow.
Aunt Zheng was humble in her mouth, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows clearly proved that others were right, only her own daughter had such a glorious scenery.
Zeng Zhiqing, who listened to Rong Qi, invited himself to go inside to talk, and followed the people to the Hou Mansion, this time not through the back door of the Hou Mansion's garden, but through the main gate of the Hou Mansion. When Rong Qi stepped in, he couldn't help but think that one day, his wife would follow him, and he would also walk in from the main gate of this Hou Mansion and be a guest generously, instead of coming in and kowtowing to the host.
It's just that it's not the time yet, come to think of it, Zeng Zhiqing thinks the same way. Rong Qi thought in his heart, and had already stepped into the gate of the Hou Mansion. Someone was already waiting there, respectfully inviting Rong Qi to the hall, Zeng Zhiqing sat there thinking about something, and when he heard the footsteps, he stood up and bowed hands to Rong Qi: "Xiao Rong, come, sit down, and tell me how lively your banquet was." ”
Over the years, everyone has changed a little, and the one who hasn't changed much is probably the prince of the Hou Mansion in front of him. Rong Qi thought in his heart that the smile on his face did not change: "Our banquet is naturally not as lively as your banquet in the world, but it is just a matter of making everyone harmonious." ”
"Go!" Zeng Zhiqing said this in a long voice, and then looked at Rong Qi's face and looked at it: "Look at the tips of the eyebrows and eyes, the joy is about to overflow, and you are embarrassed to say that it is not as good as mine?" That's it, I know you're going to say that. ”
"What does the Son of the World want me to say? Do you want me to say that it is a bleak wind and cold rain? Rong Qi's words made Zeng Zhiqing laugh again, and then Zeng Zhiqing said: "Look at this is really different, you wouldn't say such things before, but now it's smooth, just open your mouth." Sure enough, a person, you have to become a relative to be an adult. ”
You are all a father, but your temperament is still so jumpy, Rong Qi said this in his heart before he smiled and said: "Don't dare, but I always want to thank you masters, and your subordinates are merciful." This sentence made Zeng Zhiqing's brows furrow, and then Zeng Zhiqing sighed: "You say, Yanran, this girl, is she a stupid girl?" If you want to talk about wealth and glory, it's not that I'm bragging, our Hou Mansion, even if she is an aunt, has more wealth and glory than outside, but she refuses to die in this Hou Mansion, so she has to go out. What's so good out there? ”
Zeng Zhiqing's words made Rong Qi slightly stunned, remembering what Yanran said that day, even Shizi had said that he liked it, but his liking was just to treat himself as a thing and put it around him. What Yanran wants is to be treated like a human being, to know her joys, sorrows, and sorrows, not just to give her glory and wealth.
Rong Qi couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, and his voice was a little low: "The prince doesn't understand Yanran, so the prince doesn't understand either, why did Yanran go out!" Maybe that's right, Zeng Zhiqing sighed again, holding his chin with both hands: "You say, I don't understand anything, before, I thought that whoever said this didn't understand me, but now I know that this is right." All I can see is the Hou Mansion. ”
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was passed into the hands of Zeng Zhiqing, and it was already the fifth generation, as long as Zeng Zhiqing kept to himself honestly and did not mix with those things in the court, he thought it would be passed on to the sixth and seventh generations. When Zeng Zhiqing dies, he will also be given and sacrificed by the imperial court. With a beautiful funeral, what the Hou Mansion needs is a safe heir who can let the Hou Mansion spend peace. If you calculate it in this way, Zeng Zhiqing's temperament is not bad.
Rong Qi couldn't help laughing: "This is the blessing of the son, the four words of wealth and idler, how many people think about it but can't get it." Zeng Zhiqing also smiled: "What I said is that sometimes, there is always some unease." ”
The title of the ancestor was obtained from the sword and the gun, not from the inheritance. Rong Qi smiled even more happily: "This is different, when the ancestors were ordered to fight on the battlefield, it was not just to protect the descendants, otherwise, what is the point?" ”
Zeng Zhiqing was silent at first, and then laughed: "That's a good thing, come, let the kitchen bring wine, me and you, have a good drink, go back, there is a congratulatory gift, I want you to take it back." ”
Rong Qi smiled and said, the little guy had already sent the banquet, and Rong Qi and Zeng Zhiqing also entered the banquet to drink and chat.
"Young lady, the prince and the third master Rong are already drinking in front." The maid reported to Mrs. Zeng, Mrs. Zeng snorted, gently slammed her waist with her hand, and the maid was busy putting a pillow behind Mrs. Zeng, and pinched her shoulders: "Young lady, I don't understand something." ”
"What's the matter? Why don't you understand? Young Mrs. Zeng asked casually, and the maid frowned and said: "Young lady, according to the noble status of the prince, although this third master Rong is rich in family resources, he is just a businessman, and he is married to a maid in this house, even if he met the prince when he was young, but now, how can he fight against the court?" ”
Rong Qi's identity, even if he doesn't marry Yanran, in the eyes of the people of the Hou Mansion, he is just a housekeeper who can come forward to entertain him, how can he sit and drink with the future heir of the Hou Mansion?
Mrs. Zeng smiled lightly: "So, you don't understand, you just think that there will be ** shares when you associate with people of such status, but you don't know that sometimes, doing such a thing will have other benefits?" ”
Other benefits? The maid's brows furrowed even tighter, and she wanted to wait for Mrs. Zeng to explain, but Mrs. Zeng smiled again: "There are people who are worthy of contact, forgetting their identities to communicate, this is called being virtuous and virtuous, Hugh said that he is the son of the world, even if it is my father, he can sit there and talk with the old farmer." "The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has been passed down to the fifth generation, and it is no longer a nouveau riche who has to associate with someone with status to show his identity.
No matter what kind of people you interact with, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and it will not hurt a point. Since her husband thinks that Rong Qi is a person worth dating, then follow him.
The maid didn't understand what Young Madam Zeng thought, and was about to ask again when she heard a voice talking outside, so she went out and looked at Fu and came in again: "Young Madam, it's Miss Cui." "Zeng Zhiqing's new maid is called Cuiliu, and the family calls Cui Girl. Young Madam Zeng sighed, and the green willow had already walked in, respectfully saluted Young Madam Zeng, and then stood aside to serve.
Mrs. Zeng smiled faintly, only people who have nothing will want to fight, and they will be honored to talk to people with status, and they will never be like this.
Rong Qi and Zeng Zhiqing drank a pot of wine, Zeng Zhiqing called for more wine to come and the little servant stepped forward and said: "The young lady said, the prince should drink less, for the sake of good health." Zeng Zhiqing smiled and said to Rong Qi: "Look, this has become a home, you don't have to worry about anything." ”
"That's why I said that the son of the world is a rare rich idler." Rong Qi's words made Zeng Zhiqing laugh, took the decanting soup handed by the little servant and drank it all, what do you want to do so much about the things in the world? The wealth and leisure that others want is within their reach, and this is enough.
Rong Qi drank the sobering soup, and after gossiping with Zeng Zhiqing for a while, he left the Hou Mansion and returned to the Zheng family. When he walked into the Zheng family, there were several tables of wine in the courtyard of the hall, and everyone was eating and drinking. Rong Qi couldn't help but have another party, and when the banquet dispersed, he went home with Yanran.
"The prince came in to talk to you, what did you say?" Rong Qi drank two wines, and although he drank two bowls of sobering soup, his face was still red. Yanran was afraid that he would make trouble, so she carefully opened the curtain of the car, and put Rong Qi's head on her lap for him to pillow, and did not forget to fan him in her hand. Seeing that Rong Qi was better, Yan Ran opened her mouth to ask.
Rong Qi smiled before holding Yanran's hand: "The prince didn't say anything, Yanran, I'm very happy to be able to marry you." Yanran looked down at Rong Qi, and saw that his eyes were very bright, and couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling: "Well, I know." ”
"Yanran, I'm not telling a lie, I'm telling the truth. I'm really happy! Rong Qi emphasized again, the smile on Yanran's lips became deeper and deeper, she didn't say anything but held her husband's hand, Rong Qi looked at his wife without blinking, and between the two, she only felt that the love could not be dissolved.
The car had stopped, the maid lifted the curtain, and Yanran helped Rong Qi get out of the car, Rong Qi half leaned on Yan Ran, and her footing was a little unstable.
"Hey, Rong Sanye and Rong San's grandmother are really newlyweds, so affectionate, everyone who looks at them is envious." It was almost dusk at the moment, and someone went to the neighbor's house after dinner, and just happened to see Yanran and his wife returning, so they laughed and joked.
