Chapter 317, the old road
This time it was Zeng Rong who came in.
Zeng Rong came out with Zhu Heng, in order to hide people's eyes, she was wearing a men's dress that Zhu Heng had when he was a child, so Aunt Qin, who opened the door, didn't recognize her and asked her who she was looking for.
She came to find Uncle Qin.
Zhu Heng had something to say to Uncle Qin, he originally wanted to come to the door, but Zeng Rong thought that the family was afraid of inconvenience, especially he didn't want to cause speculation from the two brothers, so Zhu Heng ordered someone to send him back to the Qian family, and the reason why he and the queen mother also wanted to come out to meet the housekeeper and care about the benefits.
Although the Queen Mother didn't know how much money Queen Qian left behind to this grandson, she knew that the Qian family was a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, so she was overjoyed to see that this grandson suddenly became interested in mundane affairs.
Because it means that the grandson finds hope and courage to live, or still have fun, in short, no longer feels that life is beyond it, which is a good thing, and she must support it.
And the reason why Zhu Heng chose this day to leave the palace is because every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen Mother will feast these grandchildren in the Cining Palace like Chinese New Year's Eve, as well as those princes and princes who stay in Beijing, the sons of the county royal family, and the emperor and the concubines above the third rank in the palace will also participate.
In the evening, the queen will come forward to hold a moon viewing party in the back garden, during which there will be poetry recitation and piano performances.
Zhu Heng had always been insensitive to such gatherings before, and he would usually only reluctantly have a meal with everyone because of the Queen Mother's face, and hide the rest of the time.
The same is true today, as soon as breakfast is over, taking advantage of the fact that everyone else is accompanying the Queen Mother to the back garden to listen to the play, he took Zeng Rong and Amei out of the palace, not Xihua Gate, but a small corner gate next to Cining Palace, Zeng Rong and Amei did not show up, hiding in the carriage.
After leaving the palace, Zhu Heng first ordered someone to send Amei home, and put Zeng Rong at the door of Xu's house.
Zeng Rong entered Xu's house this time to see Lord Xu, and wanted to ask Lord Xu and Zhu Heng to meet, as for the place to meet, Zeng Rong also found a good place, so she went to the house she had just asked Mrs. Xu to buy, there were no acquaintances in that area, the house was also vacant, and there were no outsiders and idlers.
Zhu Heng meant that he first went to the Qian family to make a false shot, and then came out of the back door of the Qian family to the house that Zeng Rong bought newly, which was a double guarantee.
Coming out of Xu's house, Zeng Rong came to Nanqing Hutong, passing by a ready-to-wear store on the way, Zeng Rong's heart moved, and he went to buy a pure cotton muslin clothes for himself and Zhu Heng, Zeng Rong's is a short dress, Zhu Heng's is a long shirt, and a pair of thin cotton pants, carrying two clothes, she entered Zeng's house.
"Aunt Qin, is Uncle Qin here?" Zeng Rong replied to Aunt Qin with a smile.
When Aunt Qin heard this salutation, she looked at Zeng Rong carefully for a moment, then patted her head, and stepped forward to take the package in Zeng Rong's hand with a smile, "Look at my foolishness, I didn't even recognize the young lady." ”
The people in the house heard the movement and ran out, Zeng Rong saw that Xu Jing was also there, and couldn't help but be stunned, mainly because he was in Xu's house, neither Mrs. Xu nor Lord Xu mentioned Xu Jing's movements, could it be that he came secretly by himself?
Xu Jing was also stunned when he saw Zeng Rong, mainly because he had never seen Zeng Rong in men's clothes, but he felt that such Zeng Rong was very fresh, very handsome, not girly at all, and his bearing was really like a big man.
However, the biggest change in Xu Jing's eyes is that Zeng Rong has lost the gloom between his eyebrows and eyes, and the whole person seems to be a lot more cheerful, smiling, and when he looks at him, there is no sadness that wants to talk about it.
It's so good, he no longer has to hide from Zeng Rong, and he doesn't have to ponder the unwarranted aura between him and Zeng Rong.
"Eldest sister, why did you come out today?" Zeng Hua ran to Zeng Rong and dragged her thoughts back.
"The eldest sister has something to do temporarily, let's go in first, I'll have a few words with Uncle Qin." Zeng Rong said.
Zeng Fuxiang and others did not know Uncle Qin's true identity, seeing that Zeng Rongshan left Uncle Qin, and was quite respectful to Uncle Qin's words, they all had a trace of doubt, but there would be outsiders here, Zeng Fuxiang didn't ask anything.
After everyone went in, Zeng Rong said that Zhu Heng had left the palace, and asked Uncle Qin to come forward to find a doctor with better medical skills, preferably who did not know each other, and took the person to Zeng Rong's courtyard after an hour.
When Uncle Qin heard this, he hurriedly went out.
Zeng Rong stayed for the time being, and when he learned that Xu Jing was here to give a gift, Zeng Rong smiled faintly, how could there be a person who came to the door to give a gift on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, most of which was an excuse for the Xu family to come to Xu Jing's door.
It seems that this Xu Jing still walked the old path of the previous life, the grace of saving his life, and he wanted to make a promise with his body, but he is still young and does not realize this, but he has an instinctive closeness to Zeng Hua, which is determined by the kindness in his bones.
But Zeng Rong didn't want Zeng Hua to repeat the tragedy of her previous life, Xu Jing was good, but the humiliation and embarrassment of being a concubine would wipe out all the good past between the two, not to mention, Zeng Hua moved out of the Xu family early in this life, and Xu Jing also went to study in the academy outside the city early, and the childhood sweetheart between them could not be as deep as Zeng Rong and him in the previous life.
Therefore, what Zeng Rong really wants to fulfill is Ouyang Si and Zeng Hua, but the age difference between these two people is too much, I just don't know if Ouyang Si can afford to wait.
Of course, this is just what Zeng Rong thinks, marriage is such a thing, the most important thing is to look at fate, therefore, Zeng Rong didn't say anything, she did everything she could do for Zeng Hua, and what the final result was, she could only wait for time to tell her the answer.
After chatting with everyone for a few words, Zeng Rong said goodbye on the grounds that he urgently needed to return to the palace, and before leaving, she took two packages and asked Zeng Fuxiang to send her to the mouth of the alley alone, mainly to explain to him, don't treat Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin slowly, they are not ordinary people, they are the stewards of their friends' families.
Zeng Rong guessed that the reason why the couple did not leave was mostly Zhu Heng's meaning, on the one hand, they might want to wait for the Chen family to give birth; On the other hand, it should be to wait for Zeng Guixiang to enter the academy, and wait for Zeng Fuxiang to fully adapt to the current life.
"Ah Rong, tell my eldest brother, what is the identity of a friend? I asked Uncle Qin about the ginseng sent by someone last time, and said that it was worth two or three hundred taels of silver, and how could we afford to call people? Ah Hua brought three over there, plus Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin, more than our brothers and sisters. Zeng Fuxiang has long been full of doubts.
Zeng Rong explained the origin of the ginseng, and as for Zhu Heng, she still kept silent, only asking him not to think about it and wait for Chen's production with peace of mind.
Also, one day Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin are gone, don't keep them.
As for the expenses of the family, Zeng Rong will send people to send them regularly, this family, even if the three people brought by Zeng Hua are added, Zeng Rong's five taels of silver per month should be enough.
