Chapter Ninety-Seven, Private Talk
Seeing that Zeng Rong still insisted on entering the palace, Mrs. Xu and her husband glanced at each other, Xu Fushan got up and left, and Mrs. Xu personally stepped forward to help Zeng Rong up, and motioned for Bauhinia and Ziyun to go down as well.
"Child, it's just the two of us here, you and I are honest, do you want to enter the palace, do you have any other plans?"
That's the only reason to say the past, right? Otherwise, who would have to live a relaxed life but have to find their own guilt?
But in the past three days, she has thought about it over and over again, but she has not found what Zeng Rong is plotting?
You must know that palace maids are no better than concubines, and there are few opportunities to meet saints on weekdays, not to mention the female workers of the Shanggong Bureau.
Therefore, the old lady was worried that Zeng Rong would be deceived, and wanted to persuade her again, and at the same time talk about these rules in the palace.
"Back to the old lady, I, I, I don't have any plans, I just want to hide from someone." Zeng Rong knew that if she couldn't come up with a suitable reason, Old Madam Xu would definitely have a mustard in her heart.
Knowing that Zeng Rong might recruit the prince of Shangzhenyuan, and Wang Fan actually took two classmates into the Splendid Workshop to find her, the old lady's mouth didn't close for a while.
It's also incredible.
What kind of magic is this kid having?
"Are you sure he's the prince of Zhenyuan?"
Zeng Rong shook his head, "I'm not sure, I guess." ”
Zeng Rong learned about her and Wang Fan's two chance encounters, the first time was in the Jumingxuan Teahouse, when Wang Fan was having an awkward quarrel with Ouyang Lin, Ouyang Lin went out first, and the little guy next to him recognized Zeng Rong and wanted to pay the bill for Zeng Rong, but Zeng Rong didn't agree.
Wang Fan should have heard their conversation and learned about the friendship between Zeng Rong and the Ouyang family, and according to Wang Chuchu's description, it is not difficult to guess that she is the little embroidery girl who made his sister angry, so she generously asked to buy the book for her in the bookstore, the purpose was to provoke her.
"By the way, I heard those two call him Brother Siqi, and the shopkeeper said that the clothes they wore were too learned." Zeng Rong added.
"Brother Siqi?" These words don't mean much to Mrs. Xu, where would she, a grandmother, pay attention to the name of a little hairy child who has not dried up, but she remembers that the son of the Wang family is named Wang Fan.
"It should be the Wang family, otherwise he doesn't need to be unforgiving to me, most likely because he learned that I refused to sell myself to the Wang family, so he thought of persecuting me, if it wasn't for the other two sons to help him today, I'm afraid that the shopkeeper can't help him, I think that there will be a second time in this matter, if I insist on staying in Jinxiufang, maybe there will be some jokes, but I'm afraid that it will also affect the shopkeeper and the second wife, so I want to enter the palace for a few years, as long as I honestly hide in the Shanggong Bureau to do things, I may be able to find a chance to come out in five or six years."
When Mrs. Xu heard Zeng Rong say that she would find an opportunity to come out in five or six years, she pinched her fingers and counted, five or six years is not exactly seventeen or eighteen years old, and it is the time to get married.
So, Mrs. Xu misunderstood again, thinking that Zeng Rong was waiting for Ouyang Si, Ouyang Si was just a talent, and he could only participate in the autumn festival after three years, plus the spring festival or something, but it would not be four or five years, which was still smooth.
But even so, you don't necessarily have to hide in the palace, right? Where can you hide someone?
"You, that's it, it's up to you." Mrs. Xu originally wanted to say that let Zeng Rong stay in the Xu Mansion, and Wang Fan could really find the Xu family to ask for someone?
It's just that in this way, the Xu family and the Wang family are only afraid that they will really have a grudge, and Zeng Rong must also know this, so he proposed to hide in the palace for a few years, maybe there are other creations?
"Child, Ah Hua will stay in Xu's house, let her move in and live with Xu Jing and the others, don't worry, I will treat her like my granddaughter." The old lady took the initiative to say.
"Thank you old lady, Ah Rong also has this intention, but I have to bother the old lady again, Ah Rong has a good heart and does not want to go, but please rest assured that the old lady will be able to use Ah Rong's place in the future, Ah Rong will do his best." Zeng Rong knelt down again and kowtowed in thanks.
This promise is exactly what Mrs. Xu wants to force Zeng Rong to establish, and when she saw Zeng Rong take the initiative to speak, the old lady was both relieved and a little uncomfortable, she shouldn't be scheming with a child.
"Child, get up quickly, you also need to remember one sentence, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace, our hands can't reach into that place, if there is anything outside the palace, just open your mouth, we will definitely do it for you." The old lady hugged Zeng Rong.
After these years of getting along, she fell in love with Zeng Rong more and more, and always felt that this child was very close to her, and Zeng Rong seemed to be very clingy to her, like her granddaughter.
"Thank you, Ah Rong remembered, old lady, you also have to take good care of your health." Zeng Rong couldn't say the extra words, she was afraid that she would cry again if she couldn't control it.
Coming out of Jishan Hall, this time Zeng Rong did not go to see the Yang family and the Bai family, but went home directly.
As soon as he arrived at the door, when he was about to push the door, he saw the door open from the inside, Zeng Hua couldn't see Zeng Rong's face clearly, so he had to pounce on her, "Eldest sister, did the Xu family promise you?" ”
Zeng Rong stretched out his hand and touched Zeng Hua's head, "Well, let's look at the screening next, Ahua, the old lady said to let you move to the Xu family, and I will buy you a maid, so that you can also have a companion." ”
Zeng Rong has more than 100 taels of silver in his hand, and he can buy Zeng Hua a maid to add some clothes and jewelry, after all, this time is different from the past, she is worried that Zeng Hua will have low self-esteem because of the big gap after a long stay, which will affect her character, after all, there are many people in the Xu Mansion, and there must be a lot of snobs who are high and low.
"Ah, buy maids, and buy jewelry?" Zeng Hua's eyes widened, only surprised, not happy.
"Okay, it's up to the eldest sister to do this, the eldest sister has the ability to support you." Zeng Rong pushed her into the house in a daze.
"But the eldest brother and the second brother, they still need more places to use silver." Zeng Hua really didn't want to live in the Xu family, if she had a choice, she would rather use the money to buy a small courtyard and bring the two brothers in the family.
"There is an eldest sister who earns money, and the shopkeeper asks me to design a batch of tricks for her every month, and she pays me to buy out the silver, so you can rest assured, there is one point, these words cannot be said to outsiders." Zeng Rong admonished.
That night, Zeng Rong did not read a book for the first time, but turned out the silk and silk cotton sent by Mrs. Xu and the Yang family, the Bai family and others, and she wanted to make Zeng Hua's winter clothes.
When Zeng Hua saw her like this, he knew that she had made up her mind, and it was difficult for others to persuade her.
For the rest of his life, the two will eventually become strangers, if he reunites in the new year, will he have any regrets, and will he have the opportunity to continue his relationship?
Zeng Hua didn't know, but he felt that his heart was cold, and when he touched his face, it was also wet.
