Chapter 45: Little Chinese New Year's Eve
Filial piety?
Rong Yu looked at Shao Beicheng in confusion, but Shao Beicheng avoided her gaze.
At this time, Shao Nanyan turned her head and urged her: "Sister Yu, come in!" ”
Rong Yu had to temporarily press the doubts in his heart and walked into the photo gallery.
Rong Yu asked Shao Beicheng and Shao Nanyan to go to the back hall to choose a painter, and took the opportunity to pay in advance, and the painting paper and framing furniture were all set up, and the salary of the painter in Layue rose a little, and the total was exactly one hundred and fifty taels.
After Rong Yu paid the money, he looked at the empty small purse, and secretly decided to bring more silver when he went out in the future......
After careful study of them, the painter sketched them and agreed on the composition with them, so that they could leave the shop and take the painting three days later.
Walking out of the photo gallery, Shao Beicheng insisted on giving Rong Yu the silver for painting.
Rong Yu refused to accept it.
What she owes him can be repaid with a portrait?
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and Shao Nanyan persuaded Shao Beicheng: "Third brother, Sister Yu looks kind on the outside, but she is actually more stubborn than you...... She won't take your money, and if you don't want to, invite us to dinner next time!" ”
Shao Beicheng had no choice but to respond: "Okay! ”
Before the three of them returned to Guiyun Tower, Rong Yu was about to say goodbye to Shao Beicheng, but Shao Beicheng said to her, "Third Miss, wait a while", and walked away after speaking.
Rong Yu looked at Shao Nanyan, and Shao Nanyan was also at a loss.
Soon, Shao Beicheng turned back, and he was followed by an entourage leading a horse.
Rong Yu looked at Shao Beicheng and inadvertently saw the face of the attendant, and she was shocked.
That person, she knew......
Shao Beicheng pointed at the entourage and said to Rong Yu: "Third Miss, your eldest sister asked me to find a reliable escort for you, and I chose Xiao Ge." ”
"You remember what he looks like, and remember to take him with you when you go out in the future."
So that's it......
Rong Yu looked at Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge looked up and smiled at her, and lowered his head again.
In her previous life, she thought that Xiao Ge was just an ordinary guard of the Rong Mansion.
She would notice him because Xiao Ge admired the jewel, and every time she traveled, Xiao Ge would actively ask to accompany her.
She saw that Xiao Ge was honest and good, and Baozhu did not dislike Xiao Ge, so she did not stop her.
In the fifth year of Youning, Shao Beicheng returned to Beijing and was awarded the title of commander and led a large army to the northwest.
Later, Xiao Ge did not come back, and Baozhu was waiting for him until death......
Rong Yu stared at Xiao Ge for a while, then at the orb on his side, and finally at Shao Beicheng.
Mu Linyuan and Shao Beicheng met, and wanted to come to the previous life, but Rong Hua asked Shao Beicheng to find someone to protect her through Mu Linyuan, and after Shao Beicheng selected Xiao Ge, Xiao Ge went incognito and went to Rongfu to be a guard;
Xiao Ge is not the Rongfu guard who went to join the army, he is originally from Shao Beicheng;
Shao Beicheng and his guards both died in Yanyun City, so even if Baozhu didn't hang herself, she couldn't wait for Xiao Ge to return......
Rong Yu felt a lot of emotions in his heart for a while......
In her previous life, she lived a confused and selfish life, and in places she never noticed, she didn't know how many people's care and kindness she had disappointed......
What she owes Shao Beicheng, I'm afraid she won't be able to pay it off anyway......
And the orb......
If in the previous life, Xiao Ge said that admiring the jewel was just an excuse to get close to her, then what is the ten years of waiting for the jewel? !
The emotional fluctuations in her eyes were obvious, and Shao Beicheng and Shao Nanyan looked at her puzzled.
Baozhu looked at their expressions, pulled Rong Yu's sleeve, and reminded her softly, "Miss......"
Rong Yu came back to her senses, she looked at the orb and said slowly, "I'm fine...... The eldest sister is now sad and self-conscious, but she still thinks about me, and my heart is moved......"
After speaking, she hurriedly saluted Shao Beicheng and sat in the carriage back to Rongfu.
Shao Nanyan's horse is still in Rongfu, so she also boarded the carriage.
Shao Beicheng looked at the carriage that turned around and drove away.
The emotions she surged just now were by no means the "moved" she said in her mouth.
She was a strange child, he felt......
Her usual words and deeds, joys and sorrows, seem to be all masks......
On the contrary, it was her sudden intense emotions, as if her true heart had broken through the heavy mask, allowing him to get a glimpse of it for a moment......
An eight-year-old child, how could she have such strong grief in her heart?
Shao Beicheng thought for a while and asked Xiao Ge, "You, have you seen the third lady of the Rong family before?" ”
Xiao Ge's head shook like a rattle: "No, today is the first time I have seen that young lady!" ”
……
The carriage traveled to Rong's house, Rong Yu got out of the carriage and was about to say goodbye to Shao Nanyan, Shao Nanyan called her, took out a square flat box from her side pocket of the saddle and handed it to her: "This is what the second sister-in-law asked me to give you today!" ”
It must be Ronghua's birthday gift......
Rong Yu didn't want to deceive Shao Nanyan, she took the box and said, "Nanyan, don't hide it, today is my birthday......"
"I don't want to hide it from you, and I don't want you to prepare a congratulatory gift for me......"
She gently hugged Shao Nanyan: "You are a congratulatory gift from God!" ”
That night, the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet in Rong Mansion was the same as in previous years, and after Rong Heng and Xiao Shen each said a few congratulatory words to Rong Yu, everyone gave her birthday gifts.
Rong Heng gave her a hardcover version of "Women's Training", and Rong Ye gave her a Buddhist scripture......
Xiao Shen gave her a pair of light purple hibiscus jade bracelets, Rong Lian gave her a hand-embroidered silk handkerchief, and Rong Wen gave her a hand-carved Qingtian stone seal......
Rong Ying gave her a handmade bamboo picture......
Before the banquet ended, Rong Heng announced another piece of news that surprised everyone: the Ministry of Rites sent an edict ordering Rong Heng to take Rong Ying and Rong Yu to the Lantern Festival Palace for a banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year......
There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto City, but only a few are lucky enough to go to the palace banquet.
The Marquis of Taining has not received this honor for many years.
In his previous life, only Rong Ying was invited to ...... for initiating a fundraiser
This time, there is one more Rong Yu.
has been a princess for ten years, and now Rong Yu is really not interested in palace banquets......
In order not to be seen as abnormal, he had to make a happy and excited look on his face.
Rong Ying is indifferent.
Rong Heng couldn't hide his joy, he was about to say a few more words, at this time, a guy with a gift box in his hand walked to the door of the flower hall and knelt down and said: "Master Hou, madam, the guy from the Shen family's silk village has come to give Young Master Shen a birthday gift to the third lady!" ”
In her last life, Shen Xunke gave her a birthday gift in the first year of Youning?
Rong Yu felt strange in his heart.
It seems that there are more and more things that are different from the previous life......
Rong Heng allowed the guy to enter the house and asked casually, "What kind of congratulatory gift?" ”
The guy bent down and walked into the house with the gift box, opened the gift box, and immediately folded out a dazzling light in the box......
Everyone looked over curiously.
Rong Heng took out the congratulatory gift from the box, which was even more dazzling and dazzling......
The man replied respectfully: "The young master specially presents the third lady with a gold-threaded peacock feather cloak, may the third lady be happy and prosperous!" ”
……
The official office of the Criminal Department.
As in the past three months, Duan Wang was busy until late at night before closing the case.
The King of England instructed the people of Yushitai to give him the qin inappropriately, and although the emperor did not reprimand him, he transferred him to the Criminal Department.
He went from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Punishment, which seemed to be a high move, but it was actually a punishment.
Because, the Criminal Department presides over major and important cases, and more than half of the cases are submitted after the Yushitai is seized.
The British king had the intention to embarrass him and instructed the imperial historians to move testimony and change official documents, so if he was not careful, he would handle one unjust case after another and wrong cases......
At worst, there is a violation of discipline, and at worst, there is a reckless disregard for human life.
If he didn't want to make a mistake, he would have to retry every case, and he would have to put all his energy and food on it......
The sound of firecrackers came from the houses of the people on the street, and it was another year Chinese New Year's Eve......
He walked for a long time before he found a noodle stall that was still closed, and ordered two bowls of egg noodles.
The shopkeeper served it, and he looked at it and ate it in silence.
He cared about her, but he couldn't even give her a birthday gift......
Never mind......
One day, the whole world will be on the shore of the land......
The top of the snow-capped mountains, the blue sea ......
All the good things in this world, whether she wants them or what she has never seen......
He'll hold it in front of her eyes!
