Chapter 40: Forgetting the Roots
Shao Nanyan looked at Shao Beicheng unexpectedly and asked, "Third brother, how do you know what kind of person the third lady of the Rong family is?" ”
Shao Beicheng was slightly stunned.
Why did he know that Rong Yu was not the person in the rumors?
He had witnessed her come to talk to Mu Linyuan about the conditions, planning to exchange the marriage letter with the hospital, and he had also heard her cold sentence "Where he lives has nothing to do with me"......
On the day of the donation, I watched her play again......
He didn't have a good impression of her at first.
But he knew that she was not a person who was unkind, hated the poor and loved the rich.
If she was unkind, she would not have taken the initiative to enter Mu Linyuan's door at all;
If she was unkind, she would not take the risk of donating money on behalf of Rong Hua to help Rong Hua marry into the Shao family to celebrate the festival......
He could not tell whether she meant anything to him or not, but he could tell if she meant something to others......
Shao Beicheng was shocked.
In the art of war, this is a mystery for the authorities......
As the saying goes, it's called care, but it's messy......
……
In the courtyard of the second room of the Dingguo Mansion.
Guan reverently knelt in front of the small Buddha shrine and chanted sutras.
After Rong Hua saluted the incense and worshiped the Buddha, he respectfully presented the dim sum box to Guan Shi and said: "Mother-in-law, this is the dim sum that the daughter-in-law brought back from her mother's house, it is not a rare thing, it is just a little bit of the daughter-in-law's family, please taste it." ”
Guan didn't look at the box, and said coldly: "Rongfu's dim sum wants to be fine......"
"To the Bodhisattva!"
The generals of the Shao family in the past dynasties guarded the border passes and fought in the four fields, in order to prevent the children of the family from being indulged in the delicious Chinese things and being raised to be arrogant and lascivious, so there were family rules, and the descendants of the descendants used special rough meals since childhood.
This rule has been passed down to the present day, and the ladies and ladies in the Shao family's back house also use the same meal.
However, the Rong family pursues that they never get tired of eating and are not tired of being fine.
Therefore, although Rong Hua was willing to abide by the family rules of the Shao family, it was difficult to get used to it in a short time, and he was hungry in the Shao family for three days, and he didn't have a full meal until he returned to the door today.
In fact, although there are such family rules, it does not mean that the people of the Shao family cannot eat a mouthful of good things......
The golden lady of the third room, the county lord Xuanning, completely ignored the rules of the family......
Therefore, she kindly gave this box of dim sum to the Guan family.
Rong Yu specially prepared a snack for her......
Rong Hua looked at Guan Shi and was about to persuade him again, but Guan Shi spoke again: "I have read the scriptures you copied, and there are a few places where you are in a hurry, it is obvious that your heart is not quiet, how can such an unreverent thing be buried with the coffin?" ”
Rong Hua was stunned when he heard this.
Ungodly Buddha ......
She slept and rested less, starved and copied the scriptures for three days, and Guan's sentence of "not respecting gods and Buddhas" made her mind empty......
Guan was born in a scholarly family, and he was keen on worshipping Buddha, and his reputation outside was very good.
Now, it may be a sudden change, and his temperament has become a little more scathing......
and annoyed that Rong Hua used means to marry into the Shao family, and wanted to establish the prestige of his mother-in-law......
Rong Hua held back her tears.
Even without that scripture, Shao Xize's heroic soul must have known her heart for him......
She lowered her eyes and said, "You are right, but your daughter-in-law has not done a good job." ”
……
On the day of the burial of the generals of the Shao family in early September, as in the previous life, Rong Yu did not see it.
In her previous life, it was because after Mu Linyuan took Ronghua out of Beijing, she was too sad and fell ill.
This time, it's because I'm grounded......
On the first day of September, she embroidered flowers in a small pavilion by the pond in the backyard of Rongfu......
The same is true on the second day of September......
In other words, holding a silk handkerchief and needle and thread in his hand, he sat in a small pavilion in a daze......
Only those who have been grounded know the value of freedom......
Rong Lian was also there, and she relayed to Rong Yu the unprecedented grief of the Shao family's generals when they were buried:
"After the generals' coffins go out, they will be carried from the Shao family to the main gate of the Forbidden Palace, and the saints, Niangniang, and the princes will all mourn and send their spirits on the gatehouse!"
"There are so many people who send spirits, in addition to the ladies and ladies of the Shao family, the eldest sister is also among them...... And many armor, and many people......"
"It's the first time I've seen so many people......"
"Daddy won't let us go to the outer city, and I won't see me anymore......"
Although Rong Yu has not seen the scene that Rong Lian said, he can imagine it.
She had seen Shao Beicheng buried......
At this time, Rong Lian said regretfully: "Third sister, it's a pity that you didn't see it, the little Langjun who held the coffin of the Shao family yesterday was so heroic, I heard that it was the son of the third room of the Shao family, the only son of the lord of Xuanning!" ”
Rong Yu looked at Rong Lian.
If this little poisonous woman dares to fight Shao Beicheng's idea......
Rong Lian was still saying, "If only the eldest brother-in-law hadn't died in battle...... Although the eldest sister did not cry yesterday, her expression was extremely sad......"
Rong Yu looked at Rong Lian seriously and withdrew his gaze.
Rong Lian said another matter: "Wei Fuzi has not resumed classes yet, and I don't know if she will come to our house to teach......
She looked at Rong Yu flatteringly, and said: "Third sister, in fact, I don't like Master Wei either, if Master Wei doesn't come, it's okay to change the master, then you can continue to study, Da Zhou is heavily taught, and the noble girl who has no knowledge will be despised by her husband's family in the future......"
Rong Yu raised his eyes to look at Rong Lian, and saw Rong Ying walking towards the small pavilion.
It came just in time......
After estimating that Rong Ying could hear it, Rong Yu spoke: "I have made my mind clear to my father, and I am willing to follow the teachings of the Holy Ancestor Empress Jiang, believing that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, no matter whether I change my master or not, I will not go to school again!" ”
She intended to let Rong Ying hear these words, intending to let Rong Ying understand that she was willing to live her duty and had no intention of competing with Rong Ying.
Rong Ying walked into the pavilion and sat down, and said to Rong Yu with a faint anger: "Heh, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented!" ”
"The women of Da Zhou have fought for a hundred years to go to school in a dignified manner, but now there are people like you who don't know how to cherish them!"
Rong Yu was also angry in his heart.
She admitted the rumors, and today she intends to show weakness, but people don't appreciate it......
She's not completely temperamental......
Rong Yu looked at Rong Ying and said, "Nowadays, women go to school, just to get a good reputation and marry a good husband, and they can't enter the official examination like men......"
"What is the difference between learning poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in order to please men, and female celebrities, or even lowly singing and dancing?"
"If you don't learn like this, you don't want to enter!"
Rong Ying looked at Rong Yu thoughtfully.
Rong Yu calmly looked at her.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Rong Lian looked at Rong Ying, then at Rong Yu, and persuaded: "Third sister, don't be angry, the second sister persuades you to go to school, always for your good......"
"You've been grounded these days, maybe you don't know, my sister only heard about it when she went out yesterday, and now there are some discussions about you outside......"
"Naturally, all that talk is nonsense......"
"Although those who are clear are self-purifying, they cannot let rumors run rampant."
"Third sister, you will study hard in the future, after a long time, people outside will ......know your good name after hearing your good name."
Argumentative......
Rong Yu looked at Rong Ying and interrupted Rong Lian's words: "Fourth sister, you don't have to persuade me anymore!" ”
"I've heard a few ...... about that discussion."
"It's not accurate to say that I am unkind, dislike the poor and love the rich......"
She smiled disdainfully: "But I did disobey my teacher, and I am a man who loves money!" ”
Rong Lian exclaimed, "Ah! Third sister, how can you say that about yourself?! ”
"Love Money ......"
Rong Yu looked at Rong Lian mockingly: "Yes, you love money a lot, why don't you love money, fourth sister?" ”
Rong Lian's face was full of disdain: "Gold and silver vulgar things, only businessmen chase them in the camp, we are the nobles' ......."
Gold, silver, merchants......
Rong Yu Zhengse asked Rong Lian: "Fourth sister, how is Shangjia, and what about Xungui?" ”
"Be a man who can't forget his roots......"
"Everyone in the world can look down on businessmen, but the people of the Rong family can't!"
"If there is no silver money obtained by the Shen family in business, there will be no pomp and circumstance of the Rong Mansion, and besides, Aunt Qian was originally a slave of the Shen family, if there is no Shen family, she still doesn't know where she is now, and there will be no you, the Miss Hou Mansion who does not love money!"
Rong Lian looked at Rong Yu angrily, her face was red and white, but she was afraid that Xiao Shen was holding her own marriage, so she didn't dare to argue with Rong Yu, so she had to pick up a handkerchief and cry: "Third sister, these words are taught to us by our father on weekdays, and my sister really doesn't know where she said wrong......
Indeed, this is how Rong Heng teaches his children......
He used the dowries brought by the wives of the merchants to support the court, but he paid attention to the false name, and especially liked to talk about despising the merchants and despising money......
However, the nobles of Kyoto knew each other well, and Rong Heng's practice of covering his ears and stealing the bell not only did not benefit his reputation, but made people despise him even more......
Rong Yu said: "Fourth sister, don't think that I am bullying you today......"
"Even in front of my father, I said the same thing!"
To Rong Yu's surprise, Rong Heng really appeared at this time......
He walked out from behind a thick old tree by the pavilion with a young man and a young man, and thought that he had listened to the conversation between the three sisters for a while......
Rong Yu looked at the two people who were following behind Rong Heng.
The people of the Shen family came......
Before she had time to look at the two of them carefully, she could hear Rong Heng shouting angrily at her: "Arrogant wickedness, now in front of me, do you have the courage to say those nonsense again?!" ”
Rong Yu let out a sneer in his heart.
A person who has died once, what would he not dare?!
She replied calmly, "Daddy, I think you have heard what I just said......
"Why are you angry......
Rong Yu looked at Rong Heng coldly and said, "When you marry the wife of the Shangjia family, you should have thought that you might give birth to a daughter like me who loves money!" ”
