"Girl." The mother-in-law who guarded the door of the Hanging Flower Gate walked in with Mama Yuan and said, "Miss Mu Ba handed over the prayer note and said that she would come to visit in half an hour. With that, Mama Yuan handed the greeting post she got to Zhao Ruxi.

Xiao Ruotong hurriedly said when she heard this: "You receive her, I'll leave in a while." ”

Xiao Ruotong often came, but Mu Qingqiang rarely came. And calculating the time, Mu Qingqiang soon got married.

The friendship between the two is here, and Zhao Ruxi is not polite to Xiao Ruotong, but she still explained: "She is going to get married." I guess they came to me to talk before marriage. After getting married, she couldn't go out often. If I'm an expatriate, I won't be able to see it. ”

Xiao Ruotong sighed suddenly: "I think you were still such a young girl when you entered the academy, but in a year or two, you all got married." ”

Saying that, she looked up at Zhao Ruxi: "I always heard you say the Four Books and Five Classics, saying that you want to be an official, but I have never listened to your Zhang Luo's relatives." I heard my mother say that you even refused the family affairs of the Jingping Palace. What the hell do you think? You can't get married, right? In two months, you'll be sixteen. Wouldn't this release become an old girl? ”

Zhao Ruxi walked to the table and wrote a reply, while saying with a smile: "I won't get married, just to accompany you to grow old." ”

"Nonsense. Do you believe that my mother and your mother are going to dismantle the two of us? Xiao Ruotong said.

The two laughed "haha".

When Zhao Ruxi gave the reply to the mother-in-law guarding the door, and returned to the table, he heard Xiao Ruotong sigh lightly, and said helplessly: "My mother said that in this Jinshi, if there is a suitable one, whether I agree or not, I have to marry." ”

"So if he can go on a mission with you, that's my last hope." She raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Ruxi, "I won't stay and not marry." I don't care about myself, but I don't want my father and mother to be pointed at and see the jokes of our palace. ”

Zhao Ruxi held her hand.

She understood Xiao Ruotong's difficulty.

No one jumped out of a crack in a stone. Xiao Ruotong has a grandmother and father who love her, and she also has to think about her family.

Princess Zhennan is such a strong person, her daughter is just leaving, but she still stays at home and can't get married; But the ex-son-in-law turned around and married a coquettish wife, and lived a harmonious life, she must not be able to swallow this breath.

For the sake of her mother, Xiao Ruotong will marry. Not to mention that when her grandmother and parents died, she was alone, although she was protected by her brother and sister-in-law, she had to endure the strange eyes of the world. If you have a little contact with a man, you will be criticized.

In ancient times, unless you go to the temple to be a sister-in-law, it is more difficult to be a happy bachelor than to ascend to the sky.

"In addition to my senior brother, there are many good people in the world." Zhao Ruxi comforted her and said, "The princess will definitely find the most suitable one for you." When the time comes, the only thing you have to do is to cherish the people in front of you, live a good life, and don't remember the past. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ruotong nodded vigorously.

After sitting for a while, Xiao Ruotong saw that Mu Qingqiang was coming soon, and was about to stand up and say goodbye, when he heard the maid report that Mu Qingqiang had arrived.

Zhao Ruxi chuckled: "You are also her master, it is better for you to see her and leave." ”

"It's fine." Xiao Ruotong nodded.

After a while, the maid brought Mu Qingqiang in. Mu Qinglian, who had always been by Mu Qingqiang's side before, didn't come this time, and she was the only one who brought the maid and mother-in-law over.

Mu Qingqiang had already heard Mama Yuan, who went to pick her up, said that Xiao Ruotong was here, and she was not surprised to see her.

"Master, I didn't expect you to be here." After she saluted Xiao Ruotong, she stood up and said such a sentence.

Xiao Ruotong thought she was greeting, but Zhao Ruxi, who knew Mu Qingqiang's temper, keenly heard Mu Qingqiang's words.

"Xiao Fuzi is not here, where do you think she is?" She asked.

Mu Qingqiang is a straightforward character, Zhao Ruxi asked, and she replied: "There was an accident in the British Mansion, I thought the master was not in the mood to come out as a guest." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ruotong and Zhao Ruxi were taken aback when they heard this.

Zhao Ruxi hurriedly asked: "Something happened to the British Mansion?" What happened? ”

Mu Qingqiang is not a gossip person, let alone Xiao Ruotong, a party here. But she is also a person who does not want to lie.

She blushed, pursed her lips and did not speak.

has dated a few times, and Zhao Ruxi knows her temper very well.

She pointed to Mu Qingqiang's maid and said, "You come on." ”

The maid glanced at her own girl, and when she saw that she did not object, she stepped forward and told her the story.

It turned out that after Xiao Ruotong and Wei Zheng reconciled, Princess Zhennan was angry and suppressed the British government in all aspects. The British duchess is angry, but Princess Zhennan is very hidden, even if she takes it out, others think she is too stingy.

Therefore, the British duchess held her breath.

She picked and chose in the capital, vowing to choose a stepdaughter-in-law who was not inferior to Xiao Ruotong in all aspects, and finally gave Wei Zheng Qi Ying, the fourth girl of the Weiguo Mansion, as his wife before the Chinese New Year.

Originally, although Wei Zheng and that girl had a concubine, they were not as good as their concubines, so the British duchess wanted Qi Ying to get pregnant as soon as possible, and it was best to get pregnant during the newlywed, so as to slap Princess Zhennan's face, and prove that it was indeed Xiao Ruotong who could not have children, so as to humiliate the Zhennan Palace.

But now half a year has passed, but Qi Ying's stomach has not moved. The British duchess was originally eager to hold her grandson, even if Qi Ying was the concubine of the Weiguo Mansion, she still didn't have a good face for this daughter-in-law, and she would find fault and punish her from time to time.

Qi Ying was unwilling to do this family affair, she didn't look down on Wei Zheng's personality, she had a scene before she got married, and she was hidden from her family, so she had to get married. Now she is being tortured by her mother-in-law, but she is unwilling.

She quietly found a few Lang Zhong to take her pulse to make sure that her body was very healthy, and she investigated the concubine who gave birth to a concubine and was proud in front of her all day, and finally found that the concubine was not Wei Zheng's species at all, but the maid who was pregnant with the nurse.

Today, on the birthday of the British Duchess, the British Mansion held a banquet. At the banquet, the English duchess picked on her thorn again, and said that she was not good. Qi Ying didn't have a seizure before, but she was waiting for today's opportunity. was said a few words by the British duchess, she broke out on the spot, shook the matter out, and put a personal and physical evidence in front of her, and finally asked for peace.

There were many female guests present at that time, and the British duchess was so shocked by Qi Ying's words and evidence that she almost fainted on the spot. The banquet was dispersed in a hurry, and after everyone left the table, the news spread throughout the capital at once.

Zhao Ruxi was dumbfounded when he heard this.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Ruotong and asked, "Sister, didn't you ask the imperial doctor to give you a good pulse?" ”

Since it is Wei Zheng who can't have children, then Xiao Ruotong shouldn't carry this pot.
