Zeng Rong only learned from Xu Jing and others at dinner time that Xu Jing went to study at the Mingshan Academy outside the city, and the normal situation was to take a day off at the end of each month.

Zeng Rong recalled carefully, it seems that Xu Jing entered Mingshan Academy at the age of twelve in the previous life, and Taixue at the age of fifteen, this life is ahead of schedule, will it have anything to do with Zeng Hua?

Also, why didn't Zeng Hua tell himself about such a big thing? Did you forget or deliberately didn't want to mention him?

The Xu family's dinner was very lively, in addition to Xu Jing, several grandchildren were there, as well as Yang's Bai and other concubines, although the banquet was silent, but before and after the meal, these people pulled Zeng Rong to ask questions, especially Bai's, she was originally close to Zeng Rong, and it was she who strongly recommended Zeng Rong's embroidery workshop, and Zeng Rong was recommended by her embroidery workshop to enter the palace, so Bai's self-proclaimed Bole was Zeng Rong's Bole, and there was no less stepping on Yang's words.

Yang still didn't like Zeng Rong as always, but he also asked Zeng Rong about some things in the palace, such as what he was responsible for, whether he was at fault, how to punish him if he made mistakes, and asked others if he didn't understand whether the other party was willing to teach him wholeheartedly, whether he usually read books and practiced calligraphy, and whether he got along with others friendly.

"Oh, sister-in-law, I said that you are too worried, who Ah Rong is, others don't know, don't we understand? This child can become famous in the capital after half a year in Jinxiufang, and he can change from a palace maid to a female official next to the emperor after half a year in the palace. Bai Shi took Zeng Rong's hand and said affectionately.

Yang raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and replied coldly: "What do you know, it is precisely because of this that we should guard against arrogance and rashness, and we should be more cautious, the depth of the water in the harem is not something you and I can imagine, who knows if Zeng Rong has robbed others of the opportunity to offend people who should not be offended?" The other party wants to make a stumbling block behind his back, how old is Zeng Rongcai, can he prevent it? ”

Zeng Rong heard this with a lot of gunpowder smell, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the reminder, Mrs. Zeng Rong must keep it in mind." ”

"But you don't have to keep it in mind, your eldest wife, you have been cautious all your life, and you almost didn't put these four words on the door of your head, but you don't know, this person, what should be in his life can't be hidden." Bai sneered.

Zeng Rong always felt that these words seemed to mean something, thinking of Xu Jing's early departure from home and entering the academy, the sensitive Zeng Rong guessed something, so she looked at Zeng Hua.

Zeng Hua's gaze met Zeng Rong's, and he quickly lowered his head to dodge.

When I was puzzled, I saw the old lady speak, "It's always good to be cautious, as the old saying goes, since ancient times, blessings and misfortunes have depended on each other, and there are few things that are happy and sad?" ”

She still attaches great importance to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family, knowing books and etiquette is one thing, taking care of the middle feed is one thing, and disciplining the children is another thing.

Zeng Rong saw that Bai was beaten by himself, and he was quite reluctant to go, so he had to leave his previous doubts, and said with a smile: "Yes, what the old lady taught is that Ah Rong remembered, Ah Rong can have today, and it is indeed inseparable from the old lady's advice and help, and Ah Rong has always remembered it." ”

When Mrs. Xu saw Zeng Rong take over the conversation, she smiled, and took the initiative to change the topic, asking Zeng Rong what time he would return to the palace the next day, but what he wanted to eat, buy and do.

The old lady's words reminded Ah Rong that Ah Rong really has something to eat. Zeng Rong wants to eat wormwood Qingtuan, not only does she want to eat, but she also wants to learn to make it.

"This is easy, there is wormwood in the back garden, Ming'er asked someone to cut it early in the morning, and the ham dumplings, if you like it, bring some into the palace tomorrow." The old lady was very happy to see that Zeng Rong was not allowed to leave.

"Didn't you say that you weren't allowed to bring food into the palace?" Yang asked, she remembered that Xu Jing accompanied Zeng Hua to see Zeng Rong before, and the food she brought was only slightly moved and brought back.

"Mrs. Hui, the authority of the female official is slightly greater than that of the palace maid, as long as it is not medicinal materials or other dangerous goods, normal food can be brought into the palace, but there is one point, which needs to be registered." Zeng Rong asked Cui Yuanhua.

"In that case, what else do you want to bring, just say." Old Madam Xu asked.

"No, Ah Rong is afraid that bringing too much will cause unnecessary trouble." Zeng Rong shook his head and refused.

She is afraid that it will reach the ears of the imperial concubine or the poppy, who is hungry for hometown snacks.

However, the old lady's words reminded Zeng Rong of one thing, she wanted to ask the old lady for some green vegetable seeds from her hometown, maybe the southern orange and the northern orange, but she also wanted to try her best, in case the emperor really ordered her to grow vegetables on a whim.

The Xu family has been in the capital for decades, and the old lady will have a lot of discomfort and unaccustomed to it when she is young, but the conditions for that meeting are limited, and she never thought of bringing seeds from the south.

Therefore, when the people present heard Zeng Rong say that they wanted seeds, they were really stunned for a moment, and the Yang family and others thought that Zeng Rong was asking for them at first, but then they thought about it, can she use it in the palace? Who will give her land to grow vegetables?

Old Madam Xu knew what was going on, but she couldn't explain it clearly, thinking that her husband was still worried about Zhu Heng's legs, Old Madam Xu motioned for everyone to go down, leaving Zeng Rong alone.

Zeng Rong saw that the other party asked about Zhu Heng's leg injury, although he was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but be a little happy, if the Xu family helped, maybe Zhu Heng's leg would be saved.

Knowing that Zhu Heng's leg was really calculated, the old lady couldn't help but scold, "What has lost its conscience, how old a child is, this can also be done." ”

"What's more, a few days ago I did a ritual in Kunning Palace, the second prince fainted in shock, originally according to the emperor's original intention to end this ceremony, but the queen stopped him, ordered someone to give the second prince acupuncture to wake him up, fed him a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup and pushed it to the front of the sacrificial table, even the queen mother can't do it, she will only get angry." Zeng Rong once again had a deep understanding of human nature, which confirmed the imperial concubine's sentence, if you want not to be bullied, you have to become stronger and bigger.

But how can the Xu family help in this matter?

It's not difficult to find a famous doctor for Zhu Heng, the difficult thing is not to alarm anyone in the palace, after all, the Xu family doesn't want to bet their net worth on Zhu Heng, it's too risky, don't say that the Xu family won't do this, if you really want to do this, Zeng Rong won't agree.
