Chapter Seventy-Five: The Ugly Daughter-in-law
Do you want thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, or are you in the arms of beautiful women?
For a moment, King Duan felt a little trance in his heart, as if he had encountered such a choice a long time ago.
And his answer will never change: he wants it.
……
The day after Rong Yu returned home, early in the morning, someone from the Dingguo Mansion came to the house, saying that the second young lady invited her sister to come over.
Xiao Shen took pity on Rong Yu for his long-distance travel, so he didn't ask her about the details of her trip yesterday, and only told her to rest early.
In fact, there are many doubts in my heart: why she is so tanned, where is the ugly girl she brought back, and what happened to Mama Wu's family......
She originally planned to ask Rong Yu carefully today, so after listening to Rong Hua's invitation, she was puzzled: "Why did you go back to Beijing and Hua Niang invited you to come over?" ”
Rong Yu dealt casually: "Xu is daughter left something at the eldest sister's place, the girl's things, it is better to take them back in person......"
There was uneasiness in his heart: this invitation must not have been made by Rong Hua......
Why are the old ladies and ladies of the Shao family in a hurry to see her?
Probably because of Shao Beicheng......
As a person in Shao Beicheng, he must have the heart to be responsible for her.
Therefore, he asked Shao Nanyan to bring a message to his family......
Before going out, Rong Yu deliberately went back to the house to change clothes.
It's always good to dress appropriately......
But I changed several times in a row, but I was not satisfied.
She used to be white-skinned and a little girl, so her spring shirts were mostly peach pink, goose yellow and other bright colors.
With such a color, she used to dress bright and cute, but now she is tanned and wears, and she looks rustic......
Because the Great Zhou suffered two disasters one after another, the defeat of Wucheng's Northern Expedition and the death of the crown prince, Xiao Shen specially prepared a few black and gray spring shirts for Rong Yu this year.
Rong Yu had to change into a soot skirt, tie her hair with a ribbon of the same color, and melancholy boarded the carriage to the Dingguo Mansion.
There is a saying that an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws.
In his previous life, King Ning's mother had already passed away, and his emperor's father and queen's mother were very busy and had no time to pay attention to him.
Naturally, she had no time to pay attention to her stupid daughter-in-law......
Therefore, now she has no experience in serving her mother-in-law......
And the one who might become her mother-in-law, Lord Xuanning......
In her previous life, the lord of Xuanning County regarded her as a thorn in her side, and every time she met, she would be reprimanded and sarcastic......
The face is ugly, and the language is so harsh......
If she hadn't been strong in her heart, I'm afraid she would have committed suicide in shame, or closed the door and never seen anyone again!
In short, the county lord of Xuanning looked at her unpleasantly......
Thinking of this, Rong Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Otherwise, the color makes the mind dizzy......
If it weren't for the starry sky in Saibei, General Shao Xiao was as bright as the stars, how could she be drunk and indifferent to him? !
After that, there will be no mistakes and have such a relationship with him......
It won't be that she wants to be the daughter-in-law of the lord of Xuanning!
……
The carriage stopped at the gate of Shao Mansion, and Rong Yu followed the maid to the flower hall in the backyard.
Mrs. Shao and the ladies of the Shao family's three rooms, as well as Shen's, Ronghua, and Shao Nanyan were all seated.
After Rong Yu entered the door, the eyes of everyone in the Shao family fell on her.
She calmly saluted the crowd in turn.
Mrs. Shao opened her mouth and praised: "He is a person who understands etiquette!" ”
He ordered Rong Yu to sit down, and ordered the maid to set the meal.
Taking advantage of the maid to set the meal, Rong Hua and Shao Nanyan secretly gave Rong Yu a look and encouraged her.
The county lord of Xuanning coughed lightly and looked at them sharply.
That kind of gaze is all too familiar to Rong Yu......
In her previous life, she was ashamed of Shao Beicheng, so in the face of the criticism of the county lord of Xuanning, she always accepted it......
This time, she respects the lord of Xuanning as Shao Beicheng's mother......
Rong Yu smiled sincerely at the Lord of Xuanning.
The county lord of Xuanning was stunned for a moment, and then threw her a disgusted look.
Rong Yu: ......
Soon, the maid set the meal.
Rong Yu looked at it, there were four dishes and one soup, which were fried cabbage, boiled radish, ground three fresh, scrambled eggs, and the soup was shallots and tofu soup......
As for the taste......
She took a bite and immediately remembered Mrs. Peng, who was far away in Tongcheng......
Someone like her......
From family background, reputation to talent, appearance, nothing is good......
They can only choose the opportunity to show virtues such as kindness and easy-going temperament......
For example, the current meal.
The taste of this rice is not good, if she eats it well, it can be seen that she is not a squeamish person, and it can also reflect her respect for the Shao family......
With such an idea, Rong Yu added three bowls of rice!
Everyone in the Shao family, from the master to the maid, looked at her dumbfounded......
Rong Yu, who had a beginning and an end, drank two more bowls of soup before he put down his rice bowl unsatisfied......
Old Mrs. Shao stared at her for a while, and then suddenly said, "Okay! Good! Good! ”
All:?
Old Mrs. Shao looked at Rong Yu and sighed with emotion: "Today's Miss Gaomen is very squeamish, and our Shao family's food, I'm afraid only you, a little girl, likes to eat!" ”
"You and the Shao family are indeed fateful!"
has a fate with the Shao family......
Everyone looked at Mrs. Shao in amazement.
Shao Nanyan winked at Rong Yu happily.
Rong Yu was also surprised and happy.
When Mrs. Shao said this, she was a euphemism to show that she was willing to accept her!
The Shao family is a hot national mansion, and the Rong family is no longer prominent;
Shao Beicheng's mother was the county lord raised by the Queen Mother, and her mother was a humble merchant;
General Shao Xiao is heroic and young, but she is a straw bale lady who does not learn and has no skills......
She originally thought that Mrs. Shao would not accept her easily.
Even, maybe she can't marry Shao Beicheng......
Even then, she didn't care......
Now she doesn't care about the so-called reputation......
As long as Shao Beicheng remains unswerving until his death, she will also keep her promise to him: to observe the festival for him and take care of his family on his behalf......
I never thought that it was just a meal, and Mrs. Shao accepted her!
Rong Yu stood up and solemnly saluted Mrs. Shao: "Little girl, thank you for your appreciation!" ”
Old Mrs. Shao nodded with satisfaction: "Good boy, sit down!" ”
The lord of Xuanning County looked at Mrs. Shao angrily: "Mother-in-law! ”
"That's it, that's it......"
"What are you satisfied with?!"
Old Lady Shao looked coldly at the county lord of Xuanning.
The county lord of Xuanning immediately realized that her words when she questioned Old Lady Shao were disrespectful......
She got up and confessed, and said, "Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law didn't mean to rush against you, it's really, really ......."
Old Lady Shao looked at the county lord of Xuanning and said coldly: "Follow me to the back hall!" ”
……
The backyard of Shao Mansion Flower Hall back hall.
Old Mrs. Shao looked solemn: "County Lord, I love Hua Niang, and I also love my own grandson......"
"I am in love with the three girls of the Rong family, not only to make up for the Shao family's debt to Hua Niang......"
"The person in the palace has a clear mind about Beicheng, but the noble concubine Niangniang has a deep grudge with the Ma family, you grew up next to the Queen Mother, how could the noble concubine Niangniang let that one be your daughter-in-law?!"
"What is the identity of that master? Her family affairs are undecided, who dares to discuss marriage with Beicheng?! ”
"Recently, the queen mother mentioned her niece, the seventh lady of the Changping Bojian family......"
"Let's not talk about Miss Jian Qi...... Just say what the queen means......"
"You grew up in the palace, don't you see clearly, the queen mother is going to use the queen mother and the concubine to fight the method to pick up a cheap price for her mother's family!"
"First, our family is leading soldiers, if we want to last a long time, we have to stay away from these rights and wrongs, and second, how can our family let them handle it?!"
"What Jin Zhi Yuye and Miss Jian Qi are not as suitable as the three girls of the Rong family! The Shao family owes Hua Niang, so they ask for the three girls to marry Beicheng, which not only takes up morality, but also avoids those ...... in the palace"
"It's hard to find such a suitable one with a lantern!"
"I didn't say it to you yesterday, let you think about it, it seems that you haven't thought it through......"
"You just think that the Rong family's family is not high, and the three girls are not worthy of Beicheng, but let me tell you, she is not inconspicuous, but she is actually very transparent, and she can't be wronged by your son!"
"Look at the guards she brought with her, aren't they the people your precious son used to be around?"
"And then the letter brought back by Nanyan......"
"What is your son's mind, don't you understand as a mother?"
"My Shao family's son, if you don't marry a concubine or accept a house, can you be ruthless and not let Beicheng marry someone he likes?"
