Chapter 207: Exploring Xiao Ruotong (2nd Update)
Zhao Ruxi told again: "If I don't go to the academy for class next day, don't forget to tell the academy." ”
"I won't forget, let's go back." Kang Shilin waved his hand and walked back to continue painting his paintings.
Coming out of the painting academy, Zhao Ruxi instructed Lu Bo to pick up Bao Zhai again.
Today, she was going to take Xu Yongyi back to the Hou Mansion, but it was too late, so she asked Lu Bo to explain.
Xu Yongyi was just worried about her, and he was relieved to know that she was fine. Said when you have time to go again, anyway, there is no hurry.
"Girl, the hour is getting late. If you don't leave, it will be dark before you return to the capital, and it will be bad if the city gate is closed and you can't enter. Qingfeng reminded.
Ruber, who had always been silent, said at this time, "Yes, girl, you can't delay any longer. ”
"You don't have to make a special detour, just turn around, I can leave after I say a few words, and it won't take long to delay." Zhao Ruxi said.
Xiao Ruotong helped her when she was in the most difficult time, and now that she has an accident, Zhao Ruxi can't help but ask. She has a full schedule of time, and if she doesn't go at this time, she may have to wait until when she will have time to inquire.
Hearing Zhao Ruxi say this, Qingfeng and Lu Bo stopped talking.
Lu Bo arrived at the intersection and drove the carriage into the door of Bao Zhai.
Zhao Ruxi is the chief designer of Bao Zhai, and the janitors are familiar with her.
Without reporting, she went upstairs directly, found Shopkeeper Wang and asked, "I heard Mr. Kang say that something happened to Master Xiao's family?" What's the matter? Does it matter? ”
Shopkeeper Wang had already heard about the Suiping Bofu, and he hadn't seen Zhao Ruxi for many days, and when he saw it at first glance, he was happy and was about to ask, when he heard Zhao Ruxi ask.
He suppressed the smile on his face and sighed: "What's the matter, I can't tell you Miss Xu." It's just that my young lady is sick because of this. Miss Xu, if you have time, go and see my young lady. The princess has taken her back to the Zhennan palace in the capital. My young lady has always liked you, and always praised you in front of us. With a few words of relief from you, maybe it will be better. ”
"Our girl has returned to Suipingbo Mansion. In the future, please ask the shopkeeper Wang to call my girl Miss Zhao. Qing Feng corrected.
This matter was asked by Zhao Yuanxun to be done. If the girls in their own country are not good at correcting themselves, they have to come forward.
Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly arched his hand: "Miss Zhao." ”
Zhao Ruxi waved his hand: "It's okay." ”
Hearing him say this, Zhao Ruxi knew about Xiao Ruotong, and it was difficult for the shopkeeper Wang to speak.
She didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go after dinner." ”
asked the address of the Zhennan Wangfu again, and wrote a greeting post with the pen and ink of the silver building, Zhao Ruxi said goodbye and went back to the capital directly.
Lu Bo sent her to the door of the house, and he did not go in, but drove the carriage to the Zhennan Wangfu to deliver the prayer post.
Zhao Ruxi entered the door, and according to the rules, he still went to say goodbye to the old lady first.
"Coming back? Have a quick meal. The eldest lady hurriedly ordered her subordinates to set the meal.
Zhao Ruxi had already told her not to wait for her to eat tonight, and the eldest lady was also worried that she would be hungry for the old man, so she ate first.
In the past, the old lady ate alone, and she didn't want to see the people in the second and third rooms. can eat alone with the big house, and it is easy to spread the reputation of a bowl of uneven water and mistreatment of concubines. In order to avoid trouble, she simply didn't call anyone, and only ate alone.
Now that the family is separated, there are only a few people in the big house, and they are not noisy, so they are all eating together now. The location is in the dining room of Rongxi Hall.
Zhao Ruxi shifted his position to the dining room, and the eldest lady accompanied him.
Mother and daughter, Zhao Ruxi didn't pay attention to "food and silence", so he told his mother about Xiao Ruotong and said, "You ask someone to prepare some gifts for me, I will visit Master Xiao in a while." ”
"Okay." When the eldest lady heard this, she hurriedly went to prepare things in person.
Not to mention Xiao Ruotong's care for Zhao Ruxi some time ago, only to say that she is good friends, Zhao Ruxi will go to the banquet in the future, I don't know how much trouble can be reduced, and the eldest lady is willing to be more generous.
This is a good connection that her daughter has made by herself.
Although there was a curfew, the ancients slept early, and Zhao Ruxi was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to go too late, so he went to Zhennan Wangfu with gifts after eating in two of them.
Worried that Zhao Ruxi would make a mistake, the eldest lady asked Mama Zhou and Qingfeng to accompany her.
After getting into the carriage, Zhao Ruxi had time to inquire about the family: "Mama Zhou, there is nothing to do at home today, right?" ”
"It's nothing." Mama Zhou said, "Today, the arches of the second and third rooms have been sealed. If the people in the second and third rooms want to come to our house, they have to enter through the gate. There are fewer people in the house now, and it is a lot quieter, and Madame doesn't have to worry so much. The girl can rest assured. ”
"Bricked? Built well. Zhao Ruxi praised Zhao Yuanxun's Mali.
Now that the family is divided, the matter of building a wall must be done quickly. Just get the two rooms out, so as not to cause more trouble.
"What about the back door? If they want to come in through the back door, we can't stop them, right? She asked.
The original Suiguo Mansion was very large, with a total of four gates. The front and back gates are facing the main street that can run two carriages, and the walls on the left and right sides face the alley, and the corner gates open. Of course, there are side doors and corner doors on both sides of the main gate. Usually, the main gate is not opened, only the side door and the corner door are opened. The master walks through the side door, and the next person goes through the corner door.
"The eldest lady said that there were fewer people in the house, and she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of it, so she directly locked the back door and the west corner door, leaving only the front side door and the east corner door for the kitchen to deliver food."
"My father and my mother arranged it so well, that's how it should be." Zhao Ruxi is deeply glad to have such a father and mother in this life.
Otherwise, if you work hard in front, the friendly forces in the rear will not only not be able to help, but will always stab you in the face. There are such pig teammates who really can't afford to hurt.
The Zhennan Royal Mansion is not far from Kang Shilin's house and is also very close to the palace. Visiting this kind of place twice in a row, Zhao Ruxi really understood the old lady.
A house in a location like Suipingbo's Mansion can't be bought even with silver and ten times more. Because it's close to the palace and the center of power. Safety aside, the neighbors are all nobles of equal or even higher status. Going to the top wealthy family to chatter is just half a cup of tea.
And if you live far away, even if you are a big official, you will be looked down upon because of your lack of background.
I heard that Wei Qiu used a lot of means for the house he lives in now.
Because of the post, Zhao Ruxi signed up at the gate of Zhennan Wangfu, and her mother-in-law invited her in.
The Zhennan Wangfu is naturally larger than the Suiping Marquis Mansion, Zhao Ruxi followed her mother-in-law for a while, and she didn't know how many halls and arches she passed through before entering a courtyard.
"Princess, Miss Zhao has arrived." The people in the courtyard saw Zhao Ruxi coming in and hurriedly went in to report.
The mother-in-law who led the way listened and smiled at Zhao Ruxi: "I think the princess wants to see the girl, and I ask the girl to come with me." And he led her up the stairs into the main house.
Princess Zhennan is in her forties, well-maintained, and her appearance is somewhat similar to Xiao Ruotong.
