Chapter Seventy-Eight: Illusion

Xu Hong didn't agree with his wife's idea, he had also met Zeng Rong twice, although this girl had a mind beyond her peers, but in his opinion, it was just the environment and experience, not the nature.

Just imagine, a girl was forced by her parents and brother to commit suicide by jumping into a lake, you can imagine how difficult her situation was at that time, and it is generally difficult for people to have the courage to die again after dying once.

She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to be sold, in that case, she could only resist.

Presumably, in order to prevent future troubles, he desperately grabbed the backer of the Xu family and followed the Xu family into Beijing.

This child is smart, she knows that she can always have a bite to eat when she follows the Xu family into Beijing, and it is a full meal, and it is by no means the kind of poor days before when she was hungry and unclothed.

As for what she shouldn't have about Xu Jing, Xu Hong disagreed, first of all, Zeng Rong is two years older than Xu Jing, how can a boy get married at eighteen or nineteen, and a girl has to marry at fifteen or sixteen, she can't drag it out until she is twenty years old, right?

Besides, what kind of family is the Xu family, what is the girl's background, if she doesn't have this self-knowledge, her mother will never bring her to the capital.

Taking a step back, if the girl is really willing to stay by Xu Jing's side as a concubine, the Xu family will not be able to tolerate her, after all, her son's life was saved by the two sisters, which is beyond doubt.

Yang saw that her husband didn't think so, and when she wanted to say something more, the coincidental maid came to report that Zisu had sent Zeng Rong to kowtow.

When Xu Hong heard this, he hurriedly went to the next room, not only to avoid suspicion, but also because he was afraid that Zeng Rong would not feel comfortable.

After Zeng Rong entered the house, he first kowtowed and thanked the other party for the gift, "These days, the eldest wife has bothered to take care of it, and it has caused a lot of trouble to the eldest wife, so I thought of taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to make a purse for the eldest lady to show gratitude, but I didn't expect the eldest lady to break the bill again, Zeng Rong didn't want to go, and specially came to kowtow to thank him." ”

"That's it, it should be, how can I say that you are also my son's savior, I should take care of you, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me directly." Although Yang was unhappy, he still had to say two words.

Zeng Rong remembered, thank you for the eldest lady's concern. It was getting late, so he didn't delay the eldest lady to rest, and Zeng Rong said goodbye. Zeng Rong saw that the other party didn't help him up, so he had to stand up by himself.

Yang thought that Zeng Rong would stay and play with her, but when he saw Zeng Rong say goodbye, he was a little surprised, and at the same time, he also looked up to Zeng Rong, at least this kid's eyesight is good, and he knows how to advance and retreat.

Therefore, after Zeng Rong left, Yang went to ask her husband if she had mistaken the child.

Don't blame her for the contradictions, in her heart she wanted to treat Zeng Rong well, but because of the first impression, and Zhao Gensheng's family also said in front of her how much her son cared about the two sisters, she had to take precautions in advance.

Xu Hong really comforted his wife a few words, but Yang's personality was soft and easy to repeat, and he listened to it at the time, and after a while, he heard something from others and denied the previous one.

Besides, Zeng Rong came to Bai's place, Bai's was much more enthusiastic than Yang's, and pulled Zeng Rong to ask her if she was happy in the embroidery workshop in the past few months, whether anyone bullied her, and whether she suffered any losses in wages.

Zeng Rong replied one by one, and quickly said goodbye, she had to go to the other two.

This toss, it was already dark when she came out of the gate of Xu's house, but fortunately, Mrs. Xu was careful, and she had already sent two mothers-in-law to wait for Zeng Rong at the second gate, and the two mothers-in-law were holding a package in their hands, but the other party didn't say it, and Zeng Rong didn't want to ask.

Back at home, the two mothers-in-law put down the package, and then told Zeng Rong that the two packages were given to Zeng Rong by the old lady, saying that the old lady said that this was the clothes for Zeng Rong and the two sisters to prepare for winter.

After the two mothers-in-law left, Zeng Rong opened the two packages, one of which was silk cotton, the other was four pieces of clothing, two pieces of muslin and two pieces of silk, and the cotton cloth was used to desecrate clothes and lining.

In addition, the old lady also gave Zeng Rong a pair of thin twisted gold bracelets, which were suitable for a little girl of her age to wear.

"Eldest sister, this old lady is so kind to us, I heard that she also asked me to go to her private school to study? Me, can I really go? Zeng Hua saw Zeng Rong looking at the pair of bracelets in a daze, knowing that she must have fallen into memories again, and asked deliberately.

"Why don't you go? What a great opportunity, how many people want to ask for it but can't get it. But there is one point, study is to study, play is to play, you are not allowed to inquire about other people's family affairs, nor do you mix with their family affairs, and go home as soon as you get out of school. Zeng Rong instructed.

On the way back, she had already tacitly calculated, there were about five or six girls of the same age as the Xu family and Zeng Hua, some were concubines, some were long-term rooms, and some were two-bedroom and three-bedroom, and the relationship was more complicated.

Fortunately, at that time, everyone was still young, and there were not so many intrigues, Rao was so, Zeng Rong was not very relieved, the thoughts of children who grew up in big families were much more complicated than those of children from rural families like them.

"Don't worry, big sister, I know how to do it." Zeng Hua hinted.

She misunderstood, thinking that the eldest sister was worried that she would provoke Xu Jing, so she specifically mentioned that she should go home after school.

In fact, she was really not interested in Xu Jing, because she was very sober in her heart, how could she dare to expect a noble son like Xu Jing if she was not even worthy of Ouyang Si?

Zeng Rong didn't think much about it, seeing that Zeng Hua was so well-behaved and obedient, she touched her head, and then opened the clothes sent by these families, she wanted to make two jackets and thin jackets for Zeng Hua, originally she didn't plan to make silk, but Zeng Hua wanted to study with the ladies of the Xu family, Zeng Rong didn't want her to wear too shabby.

Zeng Hua saw Zeng Rong skillfully tailoring her while softly asking her what she was doing that day, whether she was happy or not, etc., in a trance, she suddenly had an illusion that the person in front of her was not her sister, but her mother.

Because her mother's hand had touched her so tenderly many times, she smiled at her tenderly and said gently, but the time was too long, and she couldn't remember it clearly.

Or, like herself and her sister in the previous life, died because of her mother's dystocia, and her sister did not enjoy the love of her mother for a day, so in order to make up for her poor sister, she also treated her sister as gently as possible like the mother in her memory.

"Big sister." Zeng Hua couldn't help but hug Zeng Rong, rubbing it around her chest, greedily absorbing the breath from her body.

She has more and more a feeling that Zeng Rong's kindness to her comes from her heart, and it is natural to have flesh and blood affection, unlike the kind that is good to her simply to repay her kindness or because of guilt.

It's just that she is a little confused at this moment, is the person in front of her her sister or her mother?
