Xiao Ruotong nodded: "It's good that you understand." ”

She came over, in order to comfort Zhao Ruxi, but also to remind Zhao Ruxi of this.

After saying that, she stood up: "I'll go back if it's okay." ”

"You're finally here, sit a little longer. We haven't talked in a long time. Zhao Ruxi said.

Since the dissolution of the painting class of the Northern Painting School, she has had fewer opportunities to meet Xiao Ruotong.

She has too many things to do, Xiao Ruotong moved back to Zhennan Wangfu to live, and the classes of Beining Girls' Academy were also gathered together, Xiao Ruotong only went to class for two days in a decade and didn't have to run anymore, so the two couldn't get together to chat.

When Xiao Ruotong heard this, he turned his head and instructed the maid: "Send someone back to the house to report, and say that I have come to Suipingbo's Mansion and will go back later." ”

Seeing the maid leaving, Xiao Ruotong sat down again and asked Zhao Ruxi: "I heard that the county lord of Pingyang came to invite you to the Beijing Women's Academy, but you refused?" ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded and asked with a smile, "Who did you listen to?" ”

Xiao Ruotong has always been deaf to things outside the window, and her mind is very simple. Others also know her temperament, and they have never chewed the root of her tongue in her ear.

This matter is extremely humiliating for Xiao Yuyue. She won't say it herself, and those who are afraid of her and Concubine Jin won't spread it, and few people should know about it.

If the academy hadn't been on holiday, Xiao Ruotong might have heard about it from Mrs. Cui. But the academy is on vacation, and Xiao Ruotong doesn't like to go out, so it's strange to hear about it.

"Eldest princess." Xiao Ruotong said.

Zhao Ruxi suddenly realized: "That's right." ”

The eldest princess of Shangde and Princess Zhennan are handkerchiefs, and they have an excellent relationship. When Xiao Ruotong's marriage went wrong, Princess Zhennan handed her over to Princess Shangde and asked her to go to Bac Ninh Women's Academy to relax.

This matter, the eldest princess of Shangde is not good to others, but there is no need to hide it from Princess Zhennan.

Although Zhao Ruxi guessed that Mei Zhongjun's attack today may have been instigated by Xiao Yuyue, she has no evidence. Besides, the matter ended after the eldest princess of Shangde gave her a Zhuangzi.

She waved her hand, "I'm fine." ”

Zhao Ruxi saw that Xiao Ruotong was a little listless, and he lost two points, and his complexion was not as good as before.

She asked, "Are you alright?" ”

Xiao Ruotong sighed: "It's nothing." It's just that my mother always wants to arrange the marriage for me. ”

She rubbed her eyebrows: "Xiaoxi, you say, do women have to get married?" It's not like our family can't support me. I don't need them to support me, with my dowry and the money from selling calligraphy, I can live a comfortable life. I don't know what she thinks, she always wants me to serve others and live by looking at people's faces. ”

"Most people think that when a woman gets married, it is their ultimate destiny in life." Zhao Ruxi nodded sympathetically.

This is true not only in ancient times, but also in modern times. The army of marriage urging is a huge team, and young people talk about it.

In her previous life, if she hadn't been forced to marry Naraush, she wouldn't know how happy she would be in modern times.

Xiao Ruotong probably didn't have anyone to complain, and complained to Zhao Ruxi for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

Zhao Ruxi sent her away, and as soon as she returned to Xiuzhu Temple, Zhu came and asked, "Is the county lord of Qingyang back?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Ruxi saw that her face didn't seem right, and she looked like she had something to say, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ugh." Zhu sighed, "You haven't heard of it, have you?" The British prince married half a month ago, and he married a girl from the Patriotic Family. In the heart of the county lord of Qingyang, I am afraid that it will be uncomfortable. ”

Zhao Ruxi thought about Xiao Ruotong's appearance just now, and was not sure whether Xiao Ruotong was sad for the British prince or because of the marriage urging by Princess Zhennan.

I guess it's for the former.

After all, a husband and wife are childhood sweethearts, and there is always a relationship. It's not that you can put it down if you want to.

"Which girl in the Patriotic Mansion? Don't the people of the Patriotic Family care that the British prince has an eldest son? Zhao Ruxi asked.

"I don't go out much, and I've heard people say it, but I don't know the specifics. It seems to be a girl. As for what to do with the eldest son, that's someone else's business. Zhu said, "If that Qi girl can't give birth to a son, it's just that; If you can give birth to a son, raising the eldest son crookedly, disabled, or even dead, is just a matter of thought. Wealthy families, is there less of this kind of dirty things? ”

Zhao Ruxi frowned: "That's why I hate people like this the most." ”

Zhu waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with the portal, the key is people." Looking at the Peng family that your eldest sister married, the family style is very upright. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid came in to report: "Madame, girl, the eldest girl is back, and she is asking for peace at the old lady." ”

Zhu and Zhao Ruxi glanced at each other: "Isn't it for your competition?" ”

Zhao Ruyu's father-in-law is Peng Guoan. After delaying for half a day, Peng Guoan wanted to come home too. Speaking of Zhao Ruxi's matter, Zhao Ruyu is not at ease to take a look, and it is normal.

Zhao Ruxi was not familiar with Zhao Ruyu, and said to Zhu: "Maybe there is something else." You go and see, if the eldest sister wants to see me, you can send someone to call me. ”

Zhu was also worried that Zhao Ruyu came back to complain because she was wronged at her in-law's house, but she didn't insist on letting her youngest daughter go out.

"Okay, you can rest. I'll take a look. She said, got up and went out.

After a cup of tea, a maid came to call Zhao Ruxi: "Madame said, the eldest girl asked the fifth girl to come over to talk." ”

Zhao Ruxi went to the inner hall.

Zhao Ruyu really came back on the orders of her father-in-law.

As soon as they met, she smiled and said: "My father-in-law is not at ease, let me come back to see you, I am worried that you have suffered a great grievance, and I feel uncomfortable." I just heard from my mother that you didn't take it to heart, so I was relieved. ”

Zhao Ruxi naturally said a word of thanks.

The two are not familiar with each other, and they have met once or twice before, but the old lady is sick, or in the Zhennan Palace, in a hurry, she has never sat down to talk properly, and she is like a stranger when she meets her, and she speaks very politely, and Zhu Shi sighs.

Zhao Ruyu remembered the child, and there was a large family to wait, and seeing that the hour was not early, he said goodbye.

After she left, Zhu smiled at Zhao Ruxi and said, "Your eldest sister just said that Master Peng intends to marry us, and she is talking about the fourth son of the Peng family's big house. ”

"The Peng family is upright, and only when there are no children can they take concubines, although they live together as a family, they are also harmonious. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to marry your eldest sister to his family back then. ”

"As for the fourth son, I met him once two years ago, only two years older than you, he looks very good, I heard that people are very smart, they know how to be diligent and motivated, and they have been admitted to the examination at a young age. In the spring of the following year, he will definitely be able to be admitted to the Jinshi. ”
