Chapter 34: Showdown

Zeng Rong didn't want to be completely attached to the Xu family, but she also knew that it was impossible for her to gain a foothold in the capital with her own ability.

Therefore, the condition she put forward was that it was best for the Zeng family to provide her with a subordinate house to rent, and then introduce her to a nearby big embroidery workshop, and she could take care of the rest.

As for the future, she said that she hadn't thought so far ahead, and if she could gain a foothold in the capital, if she could support her sisters, she would be more likely to stay in the capital.

Zeng Rong didn't think about renting a house by herself, but after all, she was only twelve years old, and she was renting a house outside with a six-year-old sister, in case she was targeted by an eyeless street ruffian or something, she would definitely not be able to do it with her own ability, rather than this, it was better to live with the people of the Xu family, with the protection of the Xu family, those little gangsters and ruffians would definitely not dare to approach.

Mrs. Xu saw that Zeng Rong's request was quite simple and thoughtful, and it was not a big burden for the Xu family, it was nothing more than spending a few dozen taels of silver to settle Zeng Rong's family, so she responded and ordered someone to take another ten taels of silver for Zeng Rong.

However, Mrs. Xu also said that she only had to take Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua into Beijing, how to convince her parents and family was Zeng Rong's own business, she gave Zeng Rong a day and a half, and left early the day after tomorrow.

Coming out of the dormitory, Zeng Rong had no intention of picking any herbs, and pulled Zeng Hua into the main hall of the temple with him.

She wanted to persuade Zeng Hua to go with her.

In fact, this morning when the two of them were hunting pigweed by the lake, Zeng Hua was still wavering, one would say what if she left and there was no one at home to do things, one would ask what if she was homesick in the future, and the other said that she couldn't help the eldest sister when she went to the capital, and would only drag the eldest sister back or something.

In short, she just didn't want to go.

In fact, from Zeng Hua's desire to speak and hesitation, Zeng Rong guessed that the above are not the key to the problem, what really makes Zeng Hua sway and hesitate is her origin, Zeng Hua still does not know her true identity, how can she talk about complete trust?

But Zeng Rong really didn't want to answer her for the time being.

So, she had to take Zeng Hua to the main hall, and pulled her to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva, but it happened that there were no outsiders in the hall, and Zeng Rong didn't have to worry about anything, and took the initiative to say with his hands folded: "The Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, the little woman's name is Zeng Rong, who is a native of Zengjia Village, Qinghu Town, Anshui County, Anzhou Prefecture, yesterday by chance saved a little boy from the capital, and now wants to take his sister to Beijing to beg for life, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the little woman with all the best on this trip, and also ask the Bodhisattva to be here for the little woman to be a witness, Regardless of whether this trip to the capital goes well or not, what the result is, the little woman will definitely try her best to protect my sister Zeng Hua next to me, and she will definitely treat her well. ”

Before Zeng Rong could say the last two words, Zeng Hua rushed over and hugged her, "Eldest sister, don't be like this, eldest sister, I believe in you, I believe in you, I'm just a little relieved that I can't get rid of them, and I'm afraid that I will drag you down." ”

Zeng Rong touched Zeng Hua's head, "Silly sister, with you accompanying the eldest sister, the eldest sister will not be lonely." Otherwise, the eldest sister will be homesick when she is away alone. Also, the eldest sister really wants you to get out of that sea of suffering, I don't want you to stay in this family for the rest of your life as a cow and a horse but you don't get anything in return, you are so kind and so benevolent, you deserve a better life. ”

Zeng Hua's tears rolled out, she didn't know what the consequences of her stay were, but she had always lacked the courage to fight, or rather, she lacked such an opportunity.

But now that the opportunity is in front of her, what else is she struggling with?

Besides, the eldest sister swore to Guanyin Bodhisattva, what else did she have to worry about? Even if this body is not lived by her relatives, this body is always hers, and the other party must also want to repay her for the sake of this body.

So, she choked up and nodded, "Eldest sister, I listen to you, I listen to you." ”

Zeng Rong hugged her and shed a few tears with her, and then, Zeng Rong took out his silk handkerchief, first wiped Zeng Hua's eyes, and then wiped his tears, and helped her stand up.

Coming out of the temple, Zeng Rong had no intention of picking any herbs, the two of them returned to the academy first, took the ten taels of silver yesterday, and went to the field on the way back to the village, only to see Zeng Fuxiang alone in the field.

Knowing that Zeng Chengchun had gone home first, Zeng Rong also called Zeng Fuxiang and asked him to go to the patriarch and the third uncle's house, she had something important to say.

Zeng Fuxiang thought that something had happened to Tian Shuilan again, Zeng Rong shook his head with a smile, and only said that it was a good thing, and asked him to find someone first.

Zeng Fuxiang saw that his sister said so solemnly, and the eyes of the two were still a little red, obviously crying, thinking that something really happened, and went straight to the village to call someone without even washing his feet.

When Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua arrived home, Zeng Chengchun was stewing fish soup in the stove room, and when he saw Zeng Rong, he was a little flustered in addition to the accident.

The main reason is that Zeng Rong complained about his partiality more than once because of eating, but he couldn't do it, the child didn't have enough milk to eat, so he couldn't watch the child scream from hunger, right?

But with this condition at home, if he can take care of this, he can't take care of that, what can he do?

That's why he secretly chose to come back at this time to cook something delicious for the child's mother, who knew that he would be bumped into by his daughter today?

Under normal circumstances, this daughter will not come back in the afternoon.

"You, you two came back so early?" After Zeng Chengchun finished asking, he found that both of them came back with empty baskets, and he was even more surprised, but he also knew to ask, "What's wrong?" ”

"Dad, you call your mother out, I'll let the eldest brother call the patriarch and the third uncle." Zeng Rong didn't want to waste his words to explain one by one, and he didn't bother to look at Tian Shuilan's face, so after speaking, he put down the basket and turned around and walked out of the stove room, pulling Zeng Hua back to the house to clean up her change of clothes.

As soon as the two of them poured Zeng Hua's clothes onto the bed, Zeng Fuxiang came with the patriarch and the third uncle, and at the same time there were grandmothers and Wang and Zeng Rong's second uncles Zeng Chengxia and Zeng Chengqiu, and the people behind were called by the patriarch.

The smart patriarch saw that Zeng Fuxiang made a special trip to invite her, saying that it was Zeng Rong's meaning, and he naturally knew the reason, so he personally went to invite Zeng Rong's grandmother and two uncles.

Zeng Rong was even more happy to see that the people were so complete, and he hurriedly took out a few benches and invited everyone to sit down, and then learned the things of the past two days, focusing on saving people and entering Beijing.
