Chapter Eighty-Four: The Garden Festival
Why didn't Rong Ying help Rong Wen?
The more Rong Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was unusual.
It is human nature to care about flesh and blood, and in large families with a group of wives and concubines, children born from the same biological mother are often closer.
Just like her and Rong Chi.
Although she was jealous that Rong Chi had received more love from Xiao Shen's family, she also felt that Rong Chi was not handsome and smart enough......
However, Rong Lian and her subordinates are not allowed to speak ill of Rong Chi;
Prepare a thank-you ceremony for Mrs. Zhang wholeheartedly, and look forward to Mrs. Zhang being able to teach Rong Chi carefully;
The young middle school is not a junior high school, in fact, it is not an amazing achievement, but she is deeply proud of it, and believes that Rong Chi will definitely make a big difference in the future!
Because Rong Chi is her brother-in-law, she naturally cares for and favors him.
As for the tolerance and temperature......
They are dragon and phoenix fetuses, they have grown up in one place since childhood, Rong Heng loves them, especially favors Rong Ying, although Aunt Du is a little patriarchal, but she has never treated or ignored Rong Ying......
There is nothing out of the ordinary......
Why is Rong Ying unwilling to help Rong Wen?
Rong Yu recalled Rong Wen's encounter.
In her previous life, she didn't have much contact with this cousin, so for a while, she couldn't think of anything else except for such a major event as Rong Wen's marriage.
But there is one thing that is consistent with the current situation: in the previous life, Rong Ying was unwilling to help Rong Wen.
Rong Ying is a capable person, if she has the heart to help Rong Wen, whether she is in business or business, she can easily change Rong Wen's situation.
But Rongying didn't do anything.
Rong Wen's most decent identity later was Duanwang's uncle and the son of Taining Hou.
As for the origin of the throne of the Son......
Rong Ye broke off the fate of the dust, and Rong Chi participated in the imperial examination, the former took the initiative to give up the inheritance, and the latter was forced by Rong Heng.
None of this is Rong Ying's strategy.
After King Duan and Rong Ying got married, Rong Heng hired Aunt Du's maiden niece as his wife for Rong Wen.
After Aunt Du's father and brother returned to their ancestral house in Hangzhou, their livelihood was difficult, and they barely survived by relying on the help of the clan, teaching and selling literature.
Rong Wen didn't like Xiao Du's family, and took a few satisfactory maids into the room, Aunt Du felt ashamed of her mother's family, and supported Xiao Du's with an iron heart, pressing Rong Wen, not allowing him to take concubines, and not allowing those who had sex to give birth to children before Xiao Du's.
The back house is restless, Rong Wen is depressed in his heart, and his life is becoming more and more decadent.
In his previous life, until Rong Yu's death, Rong Wen had no children.
Rong Yu looked at the place where Rong Wen had sat with emotion.
In the radiant brilliance of Rong Ying, Rong Wen was easily ignored......
Soon, Rong Ying's gaze fell on Rong Yu.
Rong Yu's heart froze, he retracted his gaze, and calmly continued to eat.
She also has to provide for the wives of the Xiao Shen family and the Shao family, and keep festivals for Shao Beicheng, she must live well, but she can't be killed by Rong Ying because of curiosity......
……
After Xinglinchun opened and Mrs. Zhang entered Beijing, as in the previous life, there were no other major events in the summer of Youning's second year.
Time passed in the ordinary, and soon, it was August.
On the first day of August, the garden festival.
Due to the emperor's attention, the pursuit of local governments, and catering to the needs of young people to have fun, blind dates, and trysts, after more than ten years of development, although the garden festival is not a traditional festival, the liveliness is not inferior to the rest of the festival.
The bustling crowds, the street is crowded with vendors selling food and knick-knacks, and that's usually the case on festival days.
In addition to these, there are two special features of the garden festival: one is called the Lover's Yarn, and the other is called the Saiwen Club.
Lover's yarn, refers to the light gauze hat.
In the past, when the etiquette was strict, the ladies of the high gate wore hats when they traveled in order to avoid being seen by outsiders and abruptly.
Nowadays, the world is much more civilized, and noble ladies will even wear tulle dresses that show their necks and arms when they go out in the summer, and they do not wear hats on weekdays unless they are for clothes or going out.
The hats on the garden festival have a origin.
It is said that after the emperor was lucky with Xu Guifei for the first time, he deliberately went out of the palace on the concubine's birthday and accompanied her to the Kyoto night market.
The concubine has a noble status and can't wait to be seen by ordinary people, so the concubine wore a hat that day.
After the emperor set the birthday of the concubine as the garden festival, the women followed the example of the concubine and also wore the hat to travel, and now it has evolved into a young man holding a hat, and when he meets a woman who is happy, he will give him a hat, if the woman has no intention, she will refuse, if she is interested, she will wear the hat given by the man that night to travel with him, and talk in detail.
A hat has helped many young men and women in the world break free from the shackles of their parents' orders and matchmakers' words, and freely choose the person they like to match.
But, again, the matter of marriage is rare to be successful.
Others are not satisfied, and they pick their own, although it is a concubine before the moon, but it is inevitable that there will be a disgrace after firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Studying it carefully, the origin of this custom, the little palace maid who wore a hat and traveled with the emperor back then, her affection with the emperor is no longer what it used to be......
Saiwen is very easy to understand: compared to poetry Saiwen, motivate to learn.
On the morning of the first day of August, when Rong Yu went to greet Xiao Shen, he looked at the clothes of his brothers and sisters with great interest.
The most exaggerated is Rong Lian, she is wearing a gouache smoky tulle skirt, and a double-ring bun with a crystal hair ornament of the same color, which is very eye-catching......
But it is far less than Rong Ying.
Rong Ying is wearing a white cloud brocade skirt embroidered with silver thread embroidered hibiscus flowers today, her hair is tied with a brocade ribbon of the same color, and she is wearing a light purple hibiscus jade bracelet on her wrist.
The exquisite and elegant clothes and ornaments are worn on the body of the stunning beauty Rong Ying, which complements each other and makes people marvel......
Rong Wen was also wearing a new brocade robe.
Only Rong Ye was still wearing his half-washed brown cloth robe of the Guozijian students......
It's too simple......
Rong Yu suddenly felt a little regretful: Heng and Zhi Rong Ye wanted to be a monk, which really ruined his appearance and family background!
If she is lucky enough to be Rong Ye, she will marry a wife and take a concubine, be idle, and fight with Rong Heng......
How jolly and unbridled it must be!
or join the army to serve the country, go to the Dingyuan General's Mansion, stay with Shao Beicheng every day, and finally write down his last words and collect his body......
Rong Yuzheng sighed with emotion, and suddenly heard Rong Lian ask her: "Why is the third sister dressed so plain today?" Forget that today is the Garden Festival......"
Rong Yu retracted his thoughts and looked at Rong Lian.
This little poisonous woman has been a little arrogant lately......
Rong Lian's heart is not right, she is dressed up in a fancy way, and she still wants to pull her as a foil?
In her previous life, she had enough of such a secret loss......
Rong Yu thought about it for a while, and asked Rong Lian unceremoniously: "What about the Garden Festival?" I don't look at each other, I don't have a tryst, so why bother dressing up? ”
Rong Lian's eyes rolled, and she looked at Xiao Shen aggrievedly: "Mother, there are many noble girls on the street today...... The daughter kindly reminded the third sister to dress up decently, but she not only did not appreciate it, but also ridiculed her daughter......"
Xiao Shen: ......
Xiao Shen is a traditional woman, and all morning, she looked at Rong Lian's body, and her heart was very happy.
It's just that Rong Lian was not born to her, she had no intention of being too lenient, and she planned to open one eye and close one eye......
However, since Rong Lian took the initiative to open her mouth, there are some words that she will not vomit or be unhappy......
Xiao Shen counted Rong Lian and said, "Sister Lian, I think your body is too gorgeous today......
"This year is different from the past, you are still young, and it is not appropriate to go out in this out......"
