Chapter 56, poke in the middle

Although Xu Fushan let Zeng Rong go, he still had two doubts in his heart, one is how talented this child is, he has never gone to school, but his talent is stronger than that of a person who has studied for a few years; The second is what is her purpose in climbing the Xu family.

With these two doubts, Xu Fushan sent two people to check the relationship between Zeng Rong and Ouyang Ruoying, and also checked her relationship with several other officials in Beijing in Anzhou Prefecture, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

Moreover, the two people said that Zeng Rong's daily life is very simple, except for going to the embroidery workshop to work and buying vegetables in the vegetable market, he hardly leaves the house at other times, and even if he goes out of the house, he takes the little girl to go shopping and play together, and has never had contact with outsiders.

Of course, that's for later.

Now it is said that Zeng Rong came out of Mrs. Xu's house, and under the guidance of Xu Jing, he went to see the Yang family and the Bai family, and he didn't stay in these two places for a long time, but he just told the other party that she had passed the test of the embroidery workshop and could stay, and start officially going to work the next day.

Yang also told her a few words, which was similar to Mrs. Xu, and also told her to be cautious when doing things outside, talk less, watch more, and do more, and don't participate in things that have nothing to do with her.

Bai's words were obviously much more domineering, and he directly told Zeng Rong that if someone bullied her, just come and tell her, she will be angry with her.

Subsequently, Bai asked Zeng Rong carefully how he passed the test, and learned that Zeng Rong embroidered a silk handkerchief with orchids, and there were two poems on the silk handkerchief, the corners of Bai's mouth curved a pleasant arc, and he looked at Zeng Rong and Xu Jing with deep meaning.

Xu Jing kept sending the two of them to the gate, and did not follow the two of them back to Zhao Dasheng's house under Zeng Rong's insistence, but still insisted that the two little girls send them back, because twilight was approaching at that time.

Coincidentally, when Zeng Rong stood at the door of Zhao Dasheng's house to thank the two little guys, Zhao Dasheng's family opened the door, and the two little guys obviously knew Zhao Dasheng's house, and hurriedly shouted respectfully: "Mother Zhao." ”

"Why are you two here?" Mother Zhao's eyes shot at the two little guys.

"It was the son's order to send the two girls back, saying that it was dark." One of them, the little guy named Jianxin, replied.

"That's the case, I came back from work to visit the old lady and the eldest lady and the second wife, Xu Gongzi didn't worry that the two of us were still outside after dark, so he ordered the two little brothers to give us a trip." Zeng Rong helped explain.

She didn't want to mention Xu Jing, but these two little guys were Xu Jing's long-term followers, and she couldn't lie.

Mother Zhao nodded, waved her hand, and let the two go back, Zeng Rong also pulled Zeng Hua back to the house, Mother Zhao followed in, she also had a lot to ask Zeng Rong, for example, what did the Jinxiufang side say, can she stay, see what the old lady said, see what the second wife said, etc.

Zeng Rong replied a little impatiently, "I'm sorry, Mother Zhao, my sister is still hungry, let's eat first." ”

Zeng Hua heard that he was busy going to the pot to bring out the dishes, and the stove in the north was not high because it was connected to the big kang, so the six-year-old Zeng Hua was completely up to it.

It's just that when Zhao's mother saw the two dishes and two bowls of rice brought out by Zeng Hua, she was not calm again, Zeng Hua was one year younger than her daughter Chunxing, and she even knew how to stir-fry and stew rice, the key is that the two fried dishes look good, and the stewed rice is also moderately soft and hard, which is too abnormal, right?

It's not normal to say that this is a sister.,Speak at a young age.,I haven't officially gone to school but can enlighten my sister.,Just learned embroidery for three months can be harshly left by the shopkeeper.,What's not simple,Actually know how to use a life-saving grace to change the fate of yourself and your sister.。

I'm not a normal person.

Zeng Rong saw this Zhao's mother staring at the two bowls of vegetables in a daze, and also thought of something, and said: "My sister is very capable, I lived in the academy for more than two months, and I learned all the work such as cooking, washing, feeding pigs, etc., no way, our children in the countryside have to share their parents' worries early, which is also an important reason why I insist on bringing her out." Otherwise, I'm really worried that my stepmother will squeeze her dry. ”

"Not only the children in the countryside, but also the children of the poor, Chun Tao went to the eldest son to be a third-class maid at the age of eight, sweeping the floor, hoeing the grass, watering the flowers and other rough work has to be done, our Chun Xing is too, and at the age of six she helped me take care of the child." Zhao's mother took the conversation.

Because this sentence pierced her heart, she also sighed for her two daughters, but let go of her doubts about Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua.

It's not easy to say, don't look at her life now, but it is also after many years of staying by the eldest wife's side, and now it is her turn to be her children, she also wants to find a good future for a few children, and she doesn't want their descendants to still be slaves for a lifetime like them, and their children and grandchildren are slaves.

Thinking of this, she somewhat understood Zeng Rong's thoughts, although selling herself to the Xu family as a maid could save her worries about food and clothing, it would be difficult for future generations to get ahead.

That's it, why should she embarrass a child, and she is still such a motivated child.

Zeng Rong saw that Mother Zhao suddenly looked a lot kinder, and no longer asked about her and Xu Jing, and he was still a little inexplicable in his heart.

But anyway, this is a good thing for her, she went out for a day, she had a lot to say to Zeng Hua, and at the same time, the study plan she made was not completed, so after Zhao's mother left, the two sisters quickly packed up and sat at the kang table, still busy with their own work.

Early the next morning, Zeng Rong saw that the food at home was enough for Zeng Hua to eat, and after arranging a study plan for her for the day, he hurried to Jinxiufang and found that many people had arrived in advance.

Zeng Rong looked around, did not see the shopkeeper Yu, nor did he see yesterday's Amei, so he went straight to his cabinet and found that there was a small copper lock hanging on it, Zeng Rong guessed that it should be that after she left yesterday, Amei went to Chang's mother to get the copper lock to help her lock things, and couldn't help but feel a little good about her.

It's just that Amei doesn't come, she can't open her cabinet, she can't take out her own things, so she moved a small stool to sit next to Honggu, and wanted to carefully observe the quilt pattern embroidered by Honggu.

Very luxurious dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern, in addition to the normal embroidery thread also used a large number of gold and silver thread, it is estimated that this set of quilt embroidery is not a hundred taels of silver can not be taken down, this is just a quilt face, which can be seen how much the whole wedding cost down.

Zeng Rong wanted to ask Honggu who embroidered this quilt for, because she suddenly remembered the mysterious eunuch yesterday and the silk handkerchief that she had just embroidered and disappeared yesterday.
