Chapter 108: Breaking Away

Coming out of the palace, Zeng Rong first went to Xu's house to see Mrs. Xu, firstly to inform the results of this screening, and secondly, to agree on Zeng Hua's placement.

The old lady was not surprised by Zeng Rong's selection at all, so before Zeng Rong entered the door, she agreed with the Yang family on Zeng Hua's residence, and originally arranged Zeng Hua to live in Xu Jing's courtyard according to the old lady's intention.

Xu Jing's yard is not small, and Xu Jing said that he wanted to live with Zeng Hua when he learned that Zeng Hua was going to live in, saying that the two of them could live together and go to school together, learn the piano and play chess together, and it would definitely be effective to compare with each other.

Although Yang did not explicitly object, he raised a question, saying that Zeng Hua was only six years old, and as soon as Zeng Rong left, she would definitely be homesick, and she would become more sensitive and suspicious, if she lived with Xu Jing, in case the little girls in Xu Jing's house inadvertently said a few words that did not like it or treated the two differently, I was afraid that Zeng Hua would feel wronged, and after a long time, the grievances accumulated more, and the two would definitely have a disagreement, but they would lose the original intention of the elders.

The old lady understood the meaning of the eldest daughter-in-law's words, but she was unwilling to be awkward with the eldest daughter-in-law in these trivial matters, after all, this family is now the eldest daughter-in-law, and for the prestige of the eldest daughter-in-law, she can't refute the eldest daughter-in-law's face.

For this reason, she could only change her mind, arrange a courtyard for Zeng Hua, and give a second-class maid named Ziluo next to her to Zeng Hua, and two mothers-in-law who do rough work.

Zeng Rong hurriedly refused, she didn't know the process, she thought that the Xu family would arrange Zeng Hua to Xu Jing, she still trusted Xu Jing's character, and was as kind and gentle as her brother.

The most important thing is that Zeng Hua once revealed to her, saying that this is also Xu Jing's own meaning, Xu Jing has tutored her in her homework, taught her to play the piano and taught her to play chess, and if she has a dispute with others, she will definitely defend her.

Therefore, suddenly the old lady said that Zeng Hua would be arranged in the Dusk Cloud Pavilion, Zeng Rong was a little reluctant, a second-class maid and two mothers-in-law who did rough work, this favor was too great.

In fact, Zeng Rong also wanted to buy a maid for Zeng Hua before, but Zeng Hua insisted on refusing, and finally moved out of Xu's house to persuade her, saying that it made no sense that the Xu family wanted to raise her and had to help her raise a maid, she had hands and feet, and could take care of herself, if it weren't for Zeng Rong's peace of mind, Zeng Hua didn't want to move into the Xu family, she could live alone in Zhao's mother's side.

Zeng Rong remembered that she was also a person who lived a new life, not a real six-year-old Mengtong, but he didn't force her to buy a maid anymore, but he resolutely refused to let her stay in the Zhao family alone, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, wealth is also moving, and human nature is the most unbearable test.

But entering the Xu family is different, the Xu family is protected by an old lady, and Zeng Hua's money is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Xu family.

It's just that what Zeng Rong didn't expect was that this person went wrong before he entered the door, and after a little thought, Zeng Rong also guessed that the problem was on the Yang side.

Thinking about it again, this is not a bad thing, it is better to live alone, and the old lady gave the maid next to her to Zeng Hua, at least don't worry about these people giving Zeng Hua a look.

As for this favor, Zeng Rong can't pay it back, so it should be a little reward she took in advance, no matter what, she has to prevent Xu Jing from marrying Wang Chuchu.

When bidding farewell to Mrs. Xu, Zeng Rong burst into tears again, for the compassion of the old man, for his own renunciation, and for the unknown difficulties ahead.

Mrs. Xu hugged Zeng Rong and shed a few tears, she didn't know why, the more she came into contact, the more she had a sense of closeness to Zeng Rong, and it was precisely because of this closeness that she accepted Zeng Hua and exempted Zeng Rong from his worries.

The next day, Zeng Hua didn't go to the school, Zeng Rong took her to the street for a turn, bought her a winter woolen clothes, a few small jewelry, boots to wear on a snowy day, etc., and went to the bookstore to pick up a few books, some for her own and some for Zeng Hua.

On the night of parting, Zeng Hua hugged Zeng Rong, wanted to speak several times, and finally swallowed the words back, because she could see that the eldest sister had been avoiding this topic.

Zeng Rong really didn't want to have a showdown at this time, not all because he was afraid that Zeng Hua would not be able to keep this secret, but more because he was afraid that she would do bad things with good intentions and want to match her with Xu Jing.

After explaining what should be explained clearly, and what should be instructed is also instructed, Zeng Rong closed his eyes and said that he was tired and sleepy.

Zeng Huaxin thought it was true, put his head on Zeng Rong's shoulder socket, and also closed his eyes and remembered his thoughts.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zeng Rong woke up, the two sisters had breakfast together, Zeng Rong packed his luggage, and also put things in order for Zeng Hua, Zeng Hua still refused to go to the school, insisted on sending her to the palace gate, saying that it was convenient for him to visit her next time, and the province could not find a place.

To Zeng Rong's surprise, after opening the courtyard door, Xu Jing actually stood outside the door, his eyes were different from the usual dignified, and his gaze towards Zeng Rong was also a little probing.

Zeng Rong met his gaze, and was speechless for a while.

In the end, Zeng Rong came back to his senses first, "Master Xu, you... ”

"You tell the truth, why did you want to enter the palace, why did you enter Beijing, why did you want to..." Xu Jing interrupted her, or rather, the two spoke almost at the same time, but Zeng Rong shut up first.

And Xu Jing wanted to ask "why do you cry at me repeatedly", but this was too easy to cause ambiguity, and he really couldn't ask.

"I don't think so, I just want to try different environments, meet different people, and see different scenery, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to enter that place." Zeng Rong smiled.

"It's as simple as that?"

"Naturally, don't worry, I will protect myself." Zeng Rong knew the kindness of the other party, and was afraid that he would have some obsession because of this, so he hurriedly comforted.

"Okay, I'll send you over, in the future, I will accompany Sister Ah Hua to visit you, and don't worry, I will take care of Sister Ah Hua." Xu Jing also promised.

"Thank you so much." Zeng Rong smiled, and tears fell immediately.

"Eldest sister, why do you want to be like this... Zeng Hua was distressed when he saw it, and in impulse, he almost said something he shouldn't have said.

"Okay, didn't the eldest sister tell you, people live for a lifetime, you have to ask for something and give up, the eldest sister understands what she is doing, believes in the eldest sister's ability, and remembers what the eldest sister said to you." Zeng Rong touched Zeng Hua's head and stopped her.

Zeng Hua nodded.

While talking, Yu Yunqing's carriage came, because Xu Jing and Zeng Hua insisted on sending her, and Xu Jing even brought the carriage, Zeng Rong had no choice but to get into the carriage of the Xu family and follow Yu Yunqing's carriage to the direction of the palace.
