The patriarch was very surprised when he learned that Zeng Rong wanted to go to the capital, and at the same time he was puzzled, a person who had never even been to the county town suddenly wanted to go to the capital, where did this kid get the guts and courage?

However, when he heard Mrs. Xu ask whether Zeng Rong's parents would agree and whether Zeng Rong's family affairs were still counted, the patriarch suddenly woke up, and he guessed that Zeng Rong wanted to go to the capital for two purposes, one was to enter the capital to earn more money for Ouyang to study, and the other was to get in touch with this family.

You can guess without asking, the power of this family is definitely not small, from the analysis of the other party's accent and pomp, he guessed that the other party is either the family of Xu Fushan, a scholar of the current cabinet, or the family of Ouyang Ruoying, the head of the household, because his son once said that there are only these two members of the Anzhou Mansion in Beijing.

There are still a few petty officials, but those petty officials have some dealings with his son, and only these two families are beyond the reach of his son.

Of course, it may also be the family members of officials who have been released into Beijing, and it may be that the officials who have been released into Beijing are at least five grades or above, but he has also heard his son mention it, it seems that there are four or five, but they are not familiar with his son, so he is even more unclear.

But there is one thing, whether it is the officials who were released into Beijing or the two important officials in the capital, they are all big people that his son usually can't climb, so he never dares to offend, not only that, but the patriarch also made up his mind, saying that he would also fulfill Zeng Rong's entry into Beijing!

No wonder the old saying is good, don't bully the poor young man, he thought about this sentence when he agreed with Zeng Rong to move out of J's house, maybe he would borrow the light of this child one day, but at that time he was thinking about Ouyang Si instead of Zeng Rong.

It's just that the patriarch still has a problem that he hasn't figured out much, even if Zeng Rong is lucky to save the other party's grandson, but under normal circumstances, doesn't it just take a few taels of thanks? How could Zeng Rong think of entering Beijing and clinging to each other?

Is this something big a twelve-year-old can do?

Could it be that the previous ideas of learning to collect medicine and moving out of Zeng's house were Zeng Rong's own intentions, not Ouyang Si's ideas?

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the girl in front of you can't be despised even more?

The patriarch who made up his mind took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and replied in a deep voice: "Back to the old lady, our Ah Rong has not yet said that he is married, and the family affair mentioned before has already been stirred up by her stepmother, this child is very pitiful, there is no mother since he was a child, but there is a stepmother, and it is also a strong way to call her, Rao is so, seeing that the second daughter Ah Hua is older and can take over the housework, and I want to sell the eldest daughter, fortunately, the child is alert, found out in time, and asked for our head... ”

Next, the patriarch also learned a rough overview of Ah Rong's experience from childhood to adulthood, and because of avoiding suspicion, the patriarch did not mention Ouyang Si.

After all, he didn't know whether the old lady wanted to bring Ah Rong into the capital as a maid or had other intentions, so he felt that it was better not to say this paragraph between Ah Rong and Ouyang Si.

Old Madam Xu saw that the other party had been chattering for a long time and did not mention Ouyang Si, so she had to ask directly: "But how did I hear some bad rumors, saying that this girl has a lifelong agreement with someone?" ”

"The old lady is talking about Mr. Ouyang, right? This is a rumor, and it is the case that those who don't know the truth are jealous of this child's experience, and most of them have nothing to do with her stepmother and Wang Yapo. ”

This time, the patriarch told Ouyang Si how to save Zeng Rong and how to treat Zeng Rong's illness and the process of taking the initiative to leave in order to avoid suspicion, "I heard that Mr. Ouyang was afraid of affecting Ah Rong's reputation, so he took Ah Hua to the mountain to collect medicine, and when he came back, he taught Ah Rong to identify herbs in front of Sister-in-law Liu and others, and these sisters-in-law Liu of the academy can testify." ”

As for Zeng Rong's father, the patriarch couldn't find a better word to describe him than "confused".

When Mrs. Xu heard that Ouyang Si was an eighteen-year-old boy who was about to take the college exam, and that she had entered Beijing to earn money for him to study and repay him for this life-saving grace, she asked about Ouyang Si's knowledge again.

Knowing that the Void Master of Qingshan Temple had shown Ouyang Si his face and said that he would have great success in the future, Old Madam Xu moved the idea of taking this young man in.

She can not believe what others say, but the words of this master of nothingness, Mrs. Xu still believes a little, when her husband went to Beijing to take the exam, he also took refuge in the Qingshan Temple because of the rain, and met the master of nothingness.

However, at that time, the void was not a master, just an ordinary monk of the same age as her husband, because he was more close to his husband, the two talked very happily, and when they parted, the other party once divined a hexagram for her husband, saying that he would definitely be named on the gold list.

Three months later, her husband won the crown of champions as he wished, and when he returned to his hometown and passed by the Qingshan Temple, he went to see the monk again.

Since then, as long as her husband visits this master of nothingness every time he returns to his hometown, but later his official duties are complicated, and the number of times he returns to his hometown is getting less and less, but the friendship between the two has not been broken.

Since she had made up her mind to win over Ouyang Si, there was no reason why Mrs. Xu would not bring Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua into Beijing, but she had to talk about it in advance, so she ordered someone to call Zeng Rong over.

Granny Ding took a little girl to the academy to find Zeng Rong first, and learned that Zeng Rong had gone home, Granny Ding chatted with Granny Liu for a while and asked about Zeng Rong's daily life.

Coming out of the academy, Granny Ding took the little girl to Zeng Rong's house, but happened to meet Zeng Hua and Zeng Hua carrying a bamboo basket at the entrance of the village.

Seeing Granny Ding, Zeng Rong said that it was false not to be nervous, because there are many things in this life that are different from the previous life, and the path she wants to take is completely different from the previous life, so she has no confidence in her future at all.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua stood in front of Mrs. Xu, Zeng Rong rejected Mrs. Xu's proposal to sell herself, and frankly admitted that she only wanted to enter Beijing to support herself and her sister by her own craft, and did not want to sell herself into slavery.

In the last life, she had enough of the hardships of being a subordinate and a slave, and in this life, she really didn't want to go through that again.

What's more, in this life, she still wants to stop Xu Jing from marrying Wang Chuchu, and she also wants to find Wang Chuchu to get back justice from the previous life, if she enters the Xu family as a slave, I am afraid that she will never have this opportunity again.

Zeng Rong did not agree to sell herself as expected by Mrs. Xu, so she quickly put down the topic and asked about Zeng Rong's plans in the capital, even if the Xu family helped Zeng Rong find a job in the capital, where to live, whether she wanted to be attached to the Xu family or to be self-reliant.

Also, the most important point is whether Zeng Rong plans to stay in the capital forever or earn money for a few years and then return to the countryside after entering Beijing.
