Because Zeng Rong had already said the words, therefore, there was no accident when she saw the emperor in the morning, and after getting off duty, she went back to the Inner Third Institute, took some moon cakes to the Inner Court Bureau, and after sharing food with everyone, she took a leave, saying that she was going to Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother already knew that she left the palace yesterday, and also knew that she was going to see her family, asked some about Zeng Rong's hometown, and also asked her how she wanted to settle them.

Knowing that Zeng Rong had been arranged, the Queen Mother nodded, and before leaving, she ordered someone to bring her a burden, saying that it was prepared for her yesterday, but she didn't expect her to leave the palace early, and she didn't have time to give it to her, so she could only send it out next time.

Zeng Rong saw that there were obviously a few boxes in the baggage, and guessed that there might be silver taels, so he wanted to open them in person to take a look, but he was afraid that he would lose his manners; Second, the Queen Mother didn't give her a chance, and directly asked her to go to the backyard to see Zhu Heng, saying that Zhu Heng loved to eat this mooncake.

The Queen Mother had an order, and Zeng Rong had to obey.

In fact, even if the Queen Mother didn't say it, Zeng Rong had to go to Zhu Hengna.

The strange thing is that when Zhu Heng saw her enter the door, the corners of her mouth had just curved a little, and there was just a little light in her eyes, but when her eyes fell on the burden on her hand, her face suddenly changed, her eyelids went down, and a row of thick fan-shaped long eyelashes covered the brilliance in her eyes.

What kind of expression is this?

What did she do wrong again?

It seems that after the two got acquainted, Zeng Rong found that Zhu Heng was becoming more and more easy to reveal his true temperament in front of her, and he no longer always had a warm smile like before.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Zeng Rong put down the burden in his hand and asked.

"Is this to thank me for going to buy it?" Zhu Heng asked.

"No, this is the Queen Mother's reward for me, oh, this is a special trip to thank you." Zeng Rong couldn't help but smile and handed over the oiled paper bag in his hand.

"Huh?" Zhu Heng was stunned for a moment, seeing that he had made a big fuss, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, reached out and took the paper bag in Zeng Rong's hand, pinched it, smiled, and asked, "What good things?" ”

"The salty moon cakes in my hometown, the Queen Mother tasted them, and said they were very fragrant, so I will try them for you." Zeng Rong said as he opened the burden on the desk.

She was curious about what the Queen Mother had given her, and at the same time, she was also looking for something to do for herself, otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to face that smile, and she couldn't bear to let the stars in those eyes fall.

When Zhu Heng heard that it was a salty moon cake, he suddenly felt very strange, because he had never heard of a salty moon cake, so he broke a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while, then squinted and smiled again, "It's delicious, crispy and crispy, the filling inside is made of lard, and sesame seeds, salty and delicious, your hometown is really strange, last time I heard you say, your zongzi is also salty, but unfortunately I didn't taste it." ”

"I'll make it up to you next year." Zeng Rong took a breath after speaking, and the things in the baggage scared her.

There are three cardboard boxes in the baggage, and the top one is a jewelry box, which not only contains a full set of pure gold jewelry, but also ten silver tickets, one hundred taels.

"I, I, give you these silver tickets." Zeng Rong didn't know what to say, and suddenly remembered the house where her brothers lived, and simply stuffed the ten silver tickets to Zhu Heng.

There is no way, she can't go back to the Queen Mother, and it just so happens that she doesn't want to owe Zhu Heng too much.

"This is given to you by the imperial grandmother, why did you give it to me?" Zhu Heng's face changed in an instant, he didn't like Zeng Rong to see him, which meant that he was born.

"The house..."

"You just have to live in that house, I bought it, don't worry, I'm not as poor as you think." Zhu Heng replied stiffly.

"Okay, okay, you're not poor, I'm poor, I'll keep it, it's just that the people who live there are miscellaneous, and the people who clean are also miscellaneous, so it's inconvenient to put me, so I'll keep it here for the time being, it's all done, right?" After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he simply took out the jewelry box and put it on the desk.

"Deposit?" Zhu Heng read these two words again, and smiled again.

Zeng Rong shook his head, didn't explain, and opened the second box, this box is larger, it is paper, and it is a ginseng inside, it should be known that Zeng Rong's sister-in-law should give birth at full term, and send a ginseng in case of emergency.

"Did you tell the Queen Mother that my sister-in-law was pregnant?" Zeng Rong asked.

Zhu Heng nodded, "I'm sorry, I don't understand this, originally the Uncle and Aunt Qin brought by Jiangnan are the people I found for you, I was afraid that your brother and sister-in-law would be uncomfortable, and I thought about it after a while, and then it was the imperial grandmother who told me that it was best for pregnant women to be guarded by women who had given birth, so I found the two of them back." ”

"Wait, Uncle and Aunt Qin, those two are...

According to Zhu Heng, the two are Qin Chuxue's brother and sister-in-law, and they are the descendants of Zhu Heng's grandfather's family, Zhu Heng's grandfather Qian Yi was also a Beijing official, and he was also a Confucian, and the Qian family was also a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the reason why Zhu Xu married Zhu Heng's biological mother back then was because of the fame and prestige of this Confucian.

Sure enough, after Zhu Xu got married, this Qian Yi began to spare no effort to assist Zhu Xu in his own government, but unfortunately, within a few years, it may be due to overwork or other reasons, this Qian Yi's illness is gone.

Qian Yi didn't have it, Mrs. Qian sent her husband's coffin back to her hometown, but she didn't think about it, during the period of filial piety for her husband in her hometown, there was news that her daughter was killed, Mrs. Qian became ill and fell ill, and she was gone for less than two years.

"Then you don't have an uncle or aunt or anything?" Zeng Rong asked.

Zhu Heng nodded, lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, there are two uncles, both in the south. I heard Aunt Qin say that my uncle and they had entered Beijing once seven or eight years ago, and my father did not let me go to see them, but only told them that I was very good. ”

After the last sentence was finished, Zeng Rong heard the choked breath in his voice, and was about to divert the topic, only to see a few tears falling on Zhu Heng's knees, which quickly drifted away.

"Actually, it's okay, at least it's better than letting them worry about you, if they know your current situation, I'm afraid that they won't leave Beijing easily, it will definitely be a curse or a blessing for them." Zeng Rong squatted in front of him, looked up at him and said.

"I understand. Aunt Qin said the same thing, but when she suddenly talked about it, I couldn't control myself for a while. Zhu Heng blinked his eyes, took back his tears, and tried his best to smile at all.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's see what's in the last box." Zeng Rong got up and diverted the conversation.

The last box is the fabric, which is a thin and soft light-colored fabric suitable for small babies, both cotton and silk.

"Let's give you all of these, see when Jiangnan is free to run for me, I can't take any more leave in the past two months." Zeng Rong said as he opened the two boxes and closed them.

This time, Zhu Heng had no objection.
