The back of the young man in black blended into the night, and Rong Yu stood still for a while before turning to leave.

In front of the lotus pond, Rong Hua walked towards her from a distance and said, "Your little maid's mouth is very tight, no matter how I ask, she won't say where you went......"

Rong Yu looked at the treasure vase approvingly, and then went back to the east courtyard with Rong Hua, and relayed the words that the old lady of the Shao family entrusted Shao Beicheng to Rong Hua.

Rong Hua was silent for a long time after hearing these words, and finally sighed: "The old lady and the ladies of the Shao family have pity on me. ”

At this time, they had returned to the east courtyard, Rong Yu followed Rong Hua into the house, and dismissed the mother-in-law and maid, she pulled Rong Hua to sit down and asked, "Big sister, do you want to marry into the Shao family earlier?" ”

Rong Hua looked at Rong Yu helplessly: "Marrying is a matter of two families......"

"Even if I can't marry into the Shao family for a while, it doesn't matter, whether I am the young lady of the Rong family or the daughter-in-law of the Shao family, my heart for the second son is the same......"

"After a long time, the old lady of the Shao family will one day see my sincerity and determination, and she will definitely accept me on that day."

Rong Yu shook his head: "Big sister, the old lady of the Shao family is old, and this time she has suffered a great mourning ......."

"If the old lady of the Shao family ...... After that, even if the ladies of the Shao family were moved by your intentions, none of them dared to go against the old lady's intentions......"

"If that's the case, when will you be able to marry into the Shao family?"

"Besides, in our house, the second sister is the pearl of my father's palm, and the second sister is twelve years old, and she has also reached the age of talking about marriage......"

"Daddy is naturally pleased that you have the heart to be a thrifty woman right now, but in another year or two, if he sees that it is difficult for you to marry into the Shao family, and blocks the marriage of the second sister......"

Rong Yu looked at Rong Hua worriedly: "At that time, big sister, what do you think Daddy will do?" ”

If Rong Hua insists on staying at home and blocking Rong Ying's marriage, what will Rong Heng do?

The easiest thing to save trouble is to give Rong Huaxu a personal home casually.

An old girl who has been engaged to a marriage contract since she was a child and her fiancé is dead, what kind of marriage can she have in a hurry?

Rong Hua's face became whiter and paler......

Rong Yu silently recited the sin in his heart:

According to her experience in her previous life, although the old lady of the Shao family walked around less later, the old man was very long-lived, and the old man was still alive and tenacious when she died of illness......

At present, in order to persuade Rong Hua to make a decision early, she used the age of the old lady of the Shao family to talk about things, which is really offensive.

Rong Yu looked at Rong Hua's face and continued: "Big sister, the old lady of the Shao family didn't let go at this time because she didn't know how resolute your intentions were, so let's let her see your intentions......"

Rong Hua interrupted Rong Yu's words: "Let the old lady of the Shao family see my mind clearly?" Sister Yu, what kind of family are we, I must not ......"

Rong Yu smiled: "The eldest lady of the Taining Hou Mansion naturally can't be like those little girls, making some kind of crying, making trouble, hanging and other means that can't be put on the table......"

Rong Hua looked at Rong Yu puzzled: "Don't use those means...... What else? ”

Rong Yu poured a cup of tea for Rong Hua: "In the past two days, people in the house are talking about the second sister initiating fundraising, that fundraising is a rare thing, and it is a good thing to do good deeds......

"I thought, why don't we borrow the east wind of the second sister and donate money in the name of the second son's fiancée......"

"Acting in the name of your fiancée...... In this way, the old lady of the Shao family should always know her sister's intentions, if the old lady can't bear to damage her sister's reputation, she will definitely come forward to settle the matter, and her sister will be able to marry into the Shao family as she wishes. ”

Donate money......

Rong Hua pondered for a long time, and finally looked at Rong Yu gratefully as if he had figured out something: "Sister Yu, thanks to you for reminding me, if I don't think of this, I'm afraid that no matter how resolute my heart is, I won't be able to marry into the Shao family......"

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Rong Yu's face: "Our sister Yu is now my sister's little military advisor......

Rong Yu looked at Rong Hua suspiciously: "What did my sister understand?" ”

Rong Hua's eyes were clear, and he said, "One word, money." ”

"Everyone in Kyoto knows that my dowry is rich, and the second son is alive, but he is dead, if I still marry into the Shao family, the world will inevitably speculate, whether the Shao family is greedy for my dowry, so they put pressure on our family as the government and forced me to marry to observe the festival?"

"With this concern, the old lady of the Shao family will pity me again, and the wives of the Shao family will be reasonable, and they will never let me marry into the Shao family and damage the century-old reputation of the Shao family......"

Rong Yu suddenly realized.

After all, she still hasn't experienced much, and she didn't even think about this layer at all......

Thinking of it, how to resolve it?

Even if Rong Hua married into the Shao family alone without a dowry, it would not be able to eliminate the speculation and discussion of the world......

Rong Yu couldn't help frowning.

Rong Hua looked calm, and teased Rong Yu first: "There is no way for the little military division?" ”

"It's actually very ...... easy"

"The Shao family is afraid of my rich dowry, so I will scatter all my daughters, and there is no best reason now?"

Rong Hua looked at Rong Yu: "Sister Yu, according to the method you said, let's donate money in the name of the second son's fiancée, and moreover, we have to donate a big one." ”

All the money is gone......

Rong Yu looked at Rong Hua in amazement.

Rong Hua's dowry is more than a daughter......

Real money, that's it......

She is a person who has died once, and she is sincerely distressed......

Coming back to his senses, Rong Yu persuaded Rong Hua and said: "Let's wait for one day, maybe the old lady of the Shao family didn't think of this, she didn't want you to marry into the Shao family, but she simply pitied you......"

Rong Hua followed Rong Yu.

But on the second day, there was no news from the Shao family.

Rong Yu had to plan with Rong Hua to donate a huge amount of money, and on this day, the rest of the people in the house were enthusiastically discussing the matter of fundraising.

After the fundraising was over, Rong Heng accompanied Rong Wen and Rong Ying to the military department to ask for the list of casualties, and then went to the household department to hand over the property raised on the first day, confirm the list of the first batch of people who distributed relief money and food, and were busy until late at night before returning home.

The discussions in the house are mainly from the mouths of the little guy who went out on an errand with Rong Wen and Rong Ying on this day:

"You don't see how long the queue of people who donate money and materials today, what noble and high-ranking officials, small people in the market, and oily businessmen, these people will never get together on weekdays, but today they are all lining up together in harmony......"

"The money raised is also very scary, not to mention a basket of copper coins, even a hundred taels of silver tickets are filled with a box. However, it is still the most generous to count the prince of Jinghai, he actually donated a thousand taels of silver, which is really scary, I can't earn money in a few lifetimes, but people say donate it. ”

"Oh, who is the Houma family in Jinghai? There are the Queen Mother and Concubine Jia in the palace, and the soldiers on the southeast coast are held outside, what is a thousand taels of silver to the prince of Jinghai? ”

"In my opinion, I'm afraid that Ma Shizi has other plans for throwing a lot of silver, who knows if he donated it for the families of the casualties and armor to have a good New Year, or to get our second lady to take a look at it......"

"Speaking of touching, if it is an old woman who sells oil cakes donates 100 yuan, an oil cake is only 2 yuan, the old woman is faltering and her clothes are shabby, and I don't know how many oil cakes she fried to save......"

"There is also a soldier who donated all his military salaries, and he said that his brothers have not been able to come back, and he only hopes that his brothers' families can get a share of the relief money and food......

Speaking of which, the stewards, mothers-in-law, maids, and maids of the Rong family also took out their money bags one after another, and everyone made up ten taels of silver to donate.

……

On the morning of the third day, Rong Hua took Rong Yu to find Steward Ding, saying that he wanted Rong Yu to go out and deliver a letter for her.

Steward Ding immediately understood......

Now the eldest lady's marriage contract is also the top priority in the house, and the Hou Ye has the heart to marry the eldest lady into the Shao family to observe the festival, but the Shao family politely refused.

For the sake of face, it is not easy for the Hou Ye and the eldest lady to come to the door in person at this time, and it is very appropriate to send the third lady to deliver a letter, which can not only hand the eldest lady's mind to the Shao family, but also get by on face......

Steward Ding figured it out, and neatly arranged the carriage and entourage.

Rong Yu was carrying an inconspicuous batik wrapped box in her hand, and the vase behind her was carrying a small burden, and the master and servant boarded the carriage together.

The box is filled with letters, tokens, but small baggage......

Steward Ding glanced at the little burden twice.

Rong Hua frowned when he saw this, and reprimanded Rong Yu and said: "It's only been a while, but you have to bring a bag of snacks, the woman of the Great Zhou Dynasty is slender and beautiful, you can eat like this again......"

Rong Yu stomped his feet in shame: "Big sister, don't say it, I'm going to miss the errand you asked me to do later!" ”

Rong Hua looked at Rong Yu and said solemnly: "I'll talk about this matter with you when you come back", then put down the curtain and instructed the coachman: "Go, be smart on the road!" ”
