Chapter 12 Letters
"The girl has arrived."
The soap-colored brocade shoes stepped on the small stool, and the hand stretched out by the wind slightly, Ronghua stood on the ground, and the two words "Qianfu" fell into his eyes. Ronghua felt that everyone's eyes were on him, especially one that was extremely strong, and Ronghua looked at it.
The concubine-colored dress is slim and decent, and although Shuli's face has left traces of time, it is undeniable that this woman was definitely a rare beauty when she was young.
Rong Hua said lightly: "Mrs. Qian." ”
Mrs. Bai felt that today's Ronghua seemed to be a little different, different from the previous Ronghua who was a little careless but still a little smiling, she didn't see a smiling face today, the whole person was slightly cold, and she looked at her at the gate of the small courtyard before as if she didn't know her.
Mrs. Qian looked at the dark robe, her face was a little bad. Does this mean not giving her face? She didn't respond to Ronghua, turned her head and asked Mrs. Bai with a smile: "Madame, is this?" ”
Madame Bai stepped forward and wanted to introduce it, but found that she didn't know who Ronghua was at all. Her face suddenly froze, how could she make such a mistake.
Madame Bai could only look back at Ronghua, but after waiting for a while, she found that the other party was not looking at her at all. And the maid who called the wind also stood dumbfounded, not saying a word.
Mrs. Bai touched Pan Nan, and immediately laughed, and pulled Pan Nan over to Mrs. Qian to push, "The concubine is afraid that it will be bad if she says something wrong, why don't you let the girl's maid introduce Mrs. Qian?" ”
Pan Nan's hands and feet began to soften the moment she was pulled, and when she was pushed to Mrs. Qian, she froze, and could only look at Ronghua helplessly, praying for a trace of mercy from the other party.
The pitiful tearful eyes were watery, and the wind frowned fiercely.
Rong Hua's phoenix eyes swept over Madame Bai and then to Madam Qian, "Go in." ”
For a while, everyone didn't know what Ronghua was talking about, but they still said with a smile: "It's windy standing outside, let's ask the ladies and ladies to go in first, and then we won't be in a hurry." ”
"Yes, yes, come on, look at Miss Qian's little face flushing, come in, it's not good if the wind is strong and cold."
"Come on, Madame Bai, come in."
As soon as the words came out, there was a young lady who was good at talking, after all, the scene of a bunch of people but no one spoke just now really made people unable to stay.
"This strain is very good, what does the girl think?"
Ronghua glanced at the flower that was being carried by the two. The color of the flower is gorgeous and catchy, the more the color of the flower center is darker, half roll and half Shu, Ronghua wants to reach out and touch, but his hand is stretched out, but Ronghua still takes it back.
"Don't you like it?"
"Beautiful." Any flower looks good.
Mrs. Qian smiled, "It's good if the girl likes it." ”
Mrs. Qian clapped her hands, and a team of maids holding flower pots slowly walked past each seat.
The maid, dressed in a pink dress embroidered with light chrysanthemums, walked in front of each lady and lady, and stayed for a while according to her personal preferences.
Mrs. Qian nodded, "If you like it, after you leave, the concubine will ask someone to send a few pots to the house." ”
After watching batch after batch, it was quite enjoyable.
The maid bent her knees and lowered the flower pot to get closer to Ronghua, and the two black chrysanthemums stood in a pavilion, the color was dark, reddish-purple, and the slender petals were rolled together, like a ball of ink, only one or two pieces stretched out.
"This is Mo Ju, I thought I was embarrassed to take it out before it budded, but the concubine thought it looked better than the budding one."
Mrs. Qian looked at Ronghua quietly at Mo Ju, and asked with a smile: "The girl likes it, why don't you give it to the girl." ”
Miss Qian listened, and pulled Mrs. Qian's sleeve under the table, this ink chrysanthemum is so precious that she also likes it very much, and her mother actually gave it to others!
Mrs. Qian ignored her daughter's thoughts. Miss Qian glared at Ronghua unhappily.
Ronghua raised his eyes and bumped into it, and Miss Qian turned her head in panic. Ronghua's fingertips fell on the purple petals, "Thank you so much, Madame, for your kindness." ”
Mrs. Qian smiled, "It's an honor for a concubine to like it." ”
Ronghua stayed at the chrysanthemum banquet for two quarters of an hour before getting up and saying goodbye. Mrs. Qian sent someone to send Ronghua and them away.
"Brother Min, why didn't you reply to me, do you know that I have been waiting for a long time?"
Ronghua stopped, looked sideways, and saw two people standing opposite each other, a man and a woman. The woman is Miss Qian, who has just left the banquet, and the man can't see his face clearly because he has his back.
"Miss, I have already said that it is better to have less contact between men and women."
I couldn't make out the sound, but it was supposed to be a young man.
Ronghua tilted his head slightly, and saw Pan Nan staring at the two people in front of him nervously, and the joints of his hands holding the plate of ink chrysanthemums were white, and the green tendons could be seen.
Ronghua turned his eyes to the wind and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Lai Feng thought about it carefully, "It's the son of the county order, and he was a show talent the year before last, and I heard that he was going to take the township test this year." Laifeng thought about it again, "The name seems to be called Shi Min." ”
Laifeng naturally has her own skills to serve Ronghua by her side, and she came to Baixian to inquire about many things, and the people who can talk about it here also know about it. It's easier to identify a person than to go to Beijing, there are a few young talents in total, and you can guess them one by one.
"Stone?"
Lai Feng remembered this and smiled, "Yes, the girl and the son are mistaken, and the white lord is actually Lord Shi." ”
"That can only be Lord Bai."
The heavenly family is the most domineering.
Seeing that Ronghua's phoenix eyes were empty, Laifeng respectfully blessed his body, "Yes, the girl said that Lord Bai is Lord Bai." ”
Ronghua glanced at the wind, brushed his sleeves and turned to leave, not half interested in the children behind him.
Sitting in Mrs. Qian's newly changed carriage, Ronghua put down the bamboo curtain and said to the wind: "It's ruined." ”
Lai Feng blessed himself without surprise, "Yes." ”
Ronghua has a perverted possessiveness, if it's not hers, she won't even look at it, if it's hers, even if it's meaningless to her, she will only ruin. Her death was hers.
No one knows, they all think that Ronghua doesn't like other people to touch her things, and Ronghua has never liked much, which is also well hidden.
After staying for another four days, Rong Shen and Liang Fang inspected the work of Bai County, recorded it, and prepared to leave Bai County.
On this day, Ronghua received two letters, one from Shangjing and the other from Yingchuan Yuyuan.
After Ronghua saw the message sent by Shangjing, he immediately burned it, and his face was not very good-looking.
For the last time, before she left Beijing, she went to her little aunt, the eldest princess Jiashu, under the guise of the imperial grandmother, and asked her to talk about marriage.
The father found out that she went to the Nanfeng Pavilion, and naturally knew that the owner of the Nanfeng Pavilion was the property in the name of her cousin, Chen Xun, as for whether the others were found Ronghua or not. As long as the father knows, of course he will subconsciously be wary. The little aunt "just happened" to enter the palace to propose a marriage for her in-law's distant niece, Chen Xun was not married, the distant niece - Zhai Yao was not married, and the Zhai family was in the hands of her father.
It's just that the Taiwei Mansion was reluctant, and after getting the news through the spies in the palace, he immediately asked Chen Xun to marry the second wife, the second daughter of the eldest family of Chen Li's mother's family.
The emperor was so easy to refer to the second marriage, but he didn't expect that he would be stillborn before he said it. Today, he wanted to attack the Taiwei Mansion one after another, but he was evaded, although the emperor's anger was monstrous, but he endured it, and he gave several official positions to compensate the Taiwei Mansion. For a while, the Taiwei Mansion in Shangjing was in the limelight.
After the Taiwei Mansion calmed down, he knew that he was in trouble, and wrote to the queen, hoping to blow the pillow wind in front of Emperor Mingzhen.
Before the situation was serious, Empress Chen had already persuaded the Taiwei Mansion to give in to Emperor Mingzhen. But the Taiwei Mansion said that as the eleventh highness, the mother clan naturally would not back down because of these trivial things. After receiving a letter from her mother, Gong Lao Taijun, Empress Chen decided to let the Taiwei Mansion go.
But when this was asked to Fengqi Palace, Empress Chen still sent a letter to Ronghua first to ask Ronghua's opinion.
Rong Hua pinched the letter and put it on the candle flame and slowly burned it, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Taiwei Mansion, if you lose in the hands of this palace, it is better to fall into the hands of your father, at least help this palace." ”
This marriage is what Ronghua wants, even the eldest princess Jiashu thinks that Ronghua wants to tie up the Chen family with the distant niece of her mother-in-law's family, but she doesn't know that Ronghua has already calculated that the Taiwei Mansion is unwilling. provoked the Heavenly Family, and the consequences were borne by the Taiwei Mansion. She didn't want to save any face for a long time in the Taiwei Mansion that tried to control her, but since it was for the sake of the queen mother, she would not make a move and make the queen mother feel guilty.
In this way, with the help of his father's means, it can be regarded as a good suppression of the Taiwei Mansion to clean up some troubles in the future. She was merciful this time, and letting go of the Taiwei Mansion was the last concession she could make. And now she can make the Taiwei Mansion breathe for a while. After all, in the same boat, the Taiwei Mansion is still useful to her, at least not now.
When the goal is achieved, Ronghua is not much happy, but more gloomy. Because there is another thing mentioned in this letter - Chen Feifei is pregnant.
Ronghua's face was not good, she felt that things were a little out of her control, even if they were still going according to her plan. And I still learned about this from Empress Chen's letter, and it seems that the action of going to Beijing is going to be accelerated.
Pick up the pen and write down the letter, stuff it into the envelope, seal it with wax and put it on the table, and then let people send it back to Beijing later.
Then he wrote another one, sealed it with wax and stuffed it into a wide sleeve.
Open another letter, it's Liu'er's.
It was very short, and after a few lines, Ronghua saw the word "willow" on the letter, and suddenly threw the letter to the ground with a flick of his wide sleeve.
The letter fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Daring! dared to calculate her, but the hateful thing was that she was actually calculated, and only learned from other people's letters two days later!
Today, Rong Hua was really angry again and again, and this anger was also accompanied by shame, two things in a row that surprised her, and she only learned about it from other people's letters. This made Ronghua feel like he was being fooled.
Shipped openly under her nose, she still wanted to invite her to the so-called chrysanthemum banquet at that time to buy her? Or test her? Unexpectedly, people didn't take her seriously at all, and took advantage of that half an hour to go out on the ship to transport goods.
Ronghua sat on the chair, leaning back, his head slightly raised to look at the engraving of the beams above his head, and his phoenix eyes narrowed.
That day, the chrysanthemum banquet deliberately let her bump into Miss Qian, were they provoking her?
Officials and businessmen colluded to think that she would be afraid to do anything to them?
Thinking of this, Ronghua suddenly chuckled in a low voice, she was worried about how to cut in so as not to arouse suspicion and suspicion, but she didn't expect someone to send it to the door herself. Since it's stupid, don't blame her for stabbing them.
Ronghua did not rush to reply, but recruited Ran Dong - Mr. Qian.
"My subordinates have seen the girl, what do the girls command?"
