Chapter Seventy-Six, The Heart of the Fist
Old Madam Xu sent someone to inquire about the affairs of her family, Zeng Rong could still understand, but what was going on with Ouyang Si?
Could it be that she really believed those rumors in the village, thinking that she really had thoughts about people that she shouldn't have, so the old man paid special attention to him?
Or did the Xu family take a fancy to Ouyang Si's potential and wanted to take care of him as a protégé?
What does the old lady mean by this, Ouyang Si fell for the birth of the girl, she is not worthy of others, people have enough rice and grain every month to feed themselves, and they don't need her to worry about it?
But with the conscience of heaven and earth, she has no covetousness for Ouyang Si.
It's a pity that she forgot about this person after she entered Beijing in the previous life, and it is not clear whether he was promoted or not.
"The last time you asked me to send a letter to your hometown, I asked someone to inquire about your family's affairs, you won't blame me for many things, right?" The old lady saw that Zeng Rong seemed to be displeased, and explained.
Zeng Rong hurriedly got up and curtsed, "Thank you old lady for your concern, Ah Rong is too late to be grateful, how can he be so ignorant?" ”
This is true, although she has no good impression of unscrupulous parents, but she still remembers her eldest brother, but she suffers from inconvenient communication, except for the Xu family who helped deliver a letter when she first arrived in the capital, she has not sent a letter to her hometown, nor has she received any letter from her hometown.
There is no way, she is just a civilian, she can't deliver letters through the post station, and she is reluctant to spend a lot of money to ask the dart bureau to help deliver the letter, so she can only expect someone from the Xu family to bring a few words.
Seeing that Zeng Rong's words were a little sincere, Mrs. Xu thought about it for a while, understood why she was displeased, and said with a smile: "That Mr. Ouyang's matter was told by your family on the initiative, and I wanted your family to give you a letter back, but unfortunately that day, your second brother was not at home, and my people couldn't wait, so your family dictated these and asked us to tell them." ”
"Ah Rong, thank you old lady, I am worried about my eldest brother, he is too honest and responsible, my stepmother..." Zeng Rong didn't say the rest of the words.
In any case, she can't slander her elders in front of outsiders, although this is not slander, just a statement, but the old people will not want to listen.
Mrs. Xu understood what Zeng Rong didn't say, and she didn't have a good impression of Zeng Rong's stepmother, and she still didn't repent at all when she forced people to jump into the lake, such a person is not worthy of being a mother.
But the problem is that she also doesn't have a good impression of Zeng Rong's eldest brother, as the eldest son in the family, he is not too young, he can't even protect his sister, and he still has to use his sister's money to marry herself, what is the interest of such a man?
Therefore, the old lady did not have the intention of supporting, otherwise, she would have asked the people in her hometown to find an errand for Zeng Fuxiang.
"What are your plans?" The old lady changed the subject.
"Me? If you want to make more money, if you have the ability to open a small shop by yourself in the future. Zeng Rong confided in his thoughts.
Old Madam Xu only had a smile on her face when she heard this, she really didn't see the wrong person, don't look at this girl's young age, but she knows what she wants to do, and she has a plan for the future.
Thinking of this, the old lady felt more and more pity, wanted to help her, and wanted to fulfill her and Ouyang Si, as the old saying goes, don't bully young people to be poor, who dares to say that after a few years, these two people will not let the world wash their eyes?
"Child, there is no outsider here, tell me, what do you think of that afterlife?" The old lady asked in a low voice.
Reasoning, she shouldn't have asked Zeng Rong himself about this kind of thing, but Zeng Rong's parents were thousands of miles away, and she couldn't ask for a while if she wanted to.
Furthermore, although Zeng Rong is young, he is an idea and assertive, she first asked Zeng Rong what he thought, just to avoid doing bad things with good intentions, this kind of thing, although it has been the words of the parents since ancient times, but it should also be wishful thinking.
"Which offspring?" Zeng Rong didn't turn the corner for a while, but as soon as the words came out, she woke up, and her face was immediately flushed, not all ashamed and ashamed, but a little anxious, she was afraid that the other party would order the mandarin duck spectrum.
"Back to the old lady, Ah Rong thanked the old lady for her fulfillment, but Ah Rong had no intention of climbing. Marriage, pay attention to fate, he is my life-saving benefactor, but it is only out of kindness and conscience, and it has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, and I can't rely on others because of this. Just like our sisters who came to the rescue of Xu Gongzi at the beginning, we were also out of kindness, and we never thought about it. After the last sentence, Zeng Rong knelt in front of the old lady.
"Son, get up, I see what you mean." The old lady personally helped Zeng Rong up.
She believed in her again.
However, she thought that Zeng Rong refused this family business because she was ashamed of her appearance, so she pitied her even more, thinking that this girl was not only smart and cold, but also very backbone, and her efforts were not in vain.
It's just that it's a pity if this thing is so yellow.
It seems that she is impatient.
She also heard that Ouyang Housheng was seventeen or eighteen, and when he reached the age of marriage, it would be a pity if Zeng Rong missed it.
That's it, as Zeng Rong himself said, marriage matters, pay attention to fate, if these two children have fate, maybe they can be together again in two years.
She believes that in two years, Zeng Rong will definitely change a lot, whether it is talent, knowledge or economy, it will be much better than now.
This woman, like a man, will see the whole pattern of the world very differently, and she will act more calmly.
Also, if this woman has the ability not to rely on men, she will have the confidence to compete with men, and she will not stick to the small world of the backyard.
Next, the old lady asked Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua about their daily life, focusing on asking her what books she is reading now, how to ask someone for advice when she encounters something she doesn't understand, and whether she has any trouble.
Knowing that Zeng Hua also followed Zeng Rong to read and write every night, the old lady said: "That's it, I also have a private school at home, you don't have time to come on weekdays, why don't you let Ah Hua's children go to school with my granddaughters, and the children also have a companion, and you can feel at ease doing things outside, how about it?" ”
Zeng Rong knelt down again, "Thank you to the old lady for your success, Ah Rong is grateful, and I don't hide it from the old lady and say, I am really worried about this these days, I wanted to take her to the embroidery workshop after a few days, but the embroidery workshop is full of troubles, and I am afraid that something else will happen, so I have delayed it again and again." ”
To be honest, Zeng Rong didn't expect Zeng Hua to have such a great creation, and being able to go to school with Xu Jing and spread it out will definitely be of great help to her future family affairs, not to mention marrying a child of an official family, at least marrying a rich squire, right?
No matter how bad it is, you can marry a protégé of the Xu family, right?
