The more Zeng Rong didn't want to say it, the more Zeng Fuxiang and Zeng Guixiang wanted to know.

It's no wonder that they are curious, along the way, the two not only didn't let them spend a penny, but also bought two new clothes for each of them, and both of them were silk.

That's it, after entering Beijing, not to mention that they were placed in such a good house, and all the furniture in the house were also purchased.

Friend, what friend can do this?

"Since you call me eldest brother, and eldest brother is like father, how should I tell the truth, don't let my eldest brother worry." Zeng Fuxiang said.

"Yes, Ah Rong, my eldest brother and I are really worried, since those two people found us, we have been trying to ask what they are doing and what their identities are, but those two people are so mysterious that they refuse to say anything." Zeng Guixiang also asked.

"Big brother and second brother, I entered the palace to be a palace maid, and I can't come out to see them from time to time in the future, those two people I asked someone else to pick them up, because I don't want to care about my father and that woman, but it just so happened that someone went to the south to do something, so I asked him for help, otherwise I was afraid that they would have to follow." Zeng Rong said half-truthfully.

There's no way, with Zeng Hua here, she can't hide her entry into the palace for too long, and besides, it is difficult for her to get out of the palace once, and she can't bring her relatives to her for a few months without showing up, right?

As for her and Zhu Heng, there are too many variables, and even she herself is not sure where she will go, so she must not let the rumors spread out from her side.

"Palace? Entered the palace? Zeng Fuxiang asked.

Zeng Guixiang thought that Zeng Rong had entered the palace and was a nobleman, so he was busy pulling Zeng Rong up and down.

"Second brother, what do you want? The eldest sister entered the palace to be an embroiderer. Zeng Hua saw Zeng Guixiang's thoughts and glanced at him.

"Embroidery?" Zeng Fuxiang was confused by two words.

It's not that he suspects his sister of lying, but when he learns embroidery.

No matter how knowledgeable he is, he also knows a little bit, how high is the skill of being able to enter the palace to be an embroiderer? My sister hasn't even embroidered a silk handkerchief at home before, and she can enter the palace as an embroiderer in Beijing for a year, so whoever listens to it won't believe it, right?

"Yes, Ah Rong, when did you learn embroidery? Why hadn't I seen anything embroidered when I was at home before? Zeng Guixiang asked.

"The eldest sister learned from Granny Liu from our academy." Zeng Hua took the words for her.

Zeng Guixiang naturally remembered who Granny Liu was, and he was taught by a master, so he didn't doubt it anymore, but cared about another question, how much silver he could earn as an embroiderer in the palace, and whether he could afford to study.

"I have told Mrs. Xu that someone will lead me to the academy in a few days, second brother, I hope that after entering the academy, I will have a good student to study, and don't learn from those rich brothers. Also, we are not allowed to brag about our relationship with the Xu family, Mrs. Xu has already let go, we are her distant relatives, and the life-saving grace of the son of the Xu family must not be mentioned again. Besides, I can't be an embroiderer in the palace. . . ”

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I won't say anything to others, I'll just say that we entered Beijing by ourselves, and this is done, right?" Zeng Guixiang interrupted Zeng Rong impatiently.

"Second brother, Ah Rong is right, big families have big rules and pay attention to reputation, we can't help Ah Rong, we can only try not to make trouble for her." Zeng Fuxiang warned his younger brother with a straight face.

"I know, it seems that I am so ignorant, I have been studying for so many years, can I still see through this bit of reasoning?" Zeng Guixiang muttered.

Zeng Rong saw that he listened, so he didn't ramble on him anymore, and asked about those people in his hometown, although she didn't care about them, it was okay to listen to gossip.

Also, she wants to know who is the master of the eldest brother's family business.

According to Zeng Fuxiang, after Zeng Rong left in the old year, the woman still had the idea of fifteen taels of silver in his hand, but fortunately, Zeng Guixiang was there, and only handed over ten taels, and Zeng Guixiang kept the five taels for himself.

Zeng Chengchun bought two acres of good paddy fields with 20 taels of silver, and then repaired the old house with 5 taels of silver, and expanded a courtyard and two thatched houses from the back, just for Zeng Fuxiang's personal use.

In this way, they had ten taels of silver left in their hands, and Tian Shuilan wanted to keep the ten taels of silver for her two sons to study in the future. So, Tian Shuilan put on the idea of the two pieces of silk again, which were the best silk, and sold eight taels of silver back, and Tian Shuilan deducted four taels of silver, and only spent four taels of silver to marry this Chen family.

"Big brother, it's true, I ordered it in vain, I specially handed over those silver taels and silk in my hands, it disappointed me too much." Zeng Rong was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

I thought of his foolishness, but I didn't expect it to be beyond her imagination.

I really don't know how he came over in the previous life, fortunately Zeng Rong was not by his side, otherwise he would have to be angry with him.

"Ah Rong, he, he is our father, besides, as the eldest son, I should share my father's worries." Zeng Fuxiang bowed his head and said ashamedly.

"It's for him, but how can he think about it for us? He never cared about our lack of food and clothing, but what about the woman and her children? It's eggs and fish soup, in order to get her a bite to eat, the work in the field would rather delay my father than go down to the ditch to touch the fish, and he said, when did he hurt us so much? That's it, they're going to sell us too. Zeng Hua couldn't get angry, and cried.

She remembered the helplessness of her previous life, and the loneliness and helplessness when she was forced to jump into the lake.

This person, I can't tell what's going on, I miss it when I don't see it, it's the kind of missing that hurts to the bones, but when I really see people, and then I hear those bad things, I feel panicked in my heart, it's better not to see it.

"Don't cry, Ah Hua, don't cry, it's the eldest brother who is incompetent, the eldest brother who is useless, and the eldest brother who doesn't protect Ah Rong well." Zeng Fuxiang touched Zeng Hua's head, and tears fell.

Zeng Hua's words also touched his memories, reminding him of the scene when Zeng Rong jumped into the lake and was rescued, in addition to self-blame, more shame, not only did he do nothing for his sister, but also caused his sister to commit suicide and almost died, just like this, his sister also took the trouble to take him to the capital to live a good life.

The more he thought about it, the more ashamed Zeng Fuxiang couldn't help but squat on the ground and cry, beating his head with his hand while crying, saying that he was incompetent, that he couldn't live with everyone, and that he was ashamed of his mother's dying entrustment.

These words successfully forced Zeng Rong's tears out.

The cry alarmed Chen, and Chen got off the kang with difficulty holding his stomach, walked to everyone with tears in his eyes, and without saying a word, took Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua into his arms.
