Rong Heng's gloomy dislike, Xiao Shen's worry and inquiry, and Rong Lian's jealousy and envy......

Rong Yu withstood the different eyes of everyone, ordered the orb and the treasure pot to hold the congratulatory gifts, and returned to the east courtyard.

She sat on the couch and looked at the peacock feather cloak with a solemn expression.

In his previous life, Shen Xun had never given her such a valuable and high-profile gift......

It is true that she defended the Shen family, but Shen Xun should not have traveled thousands of miles to send such a congratulatory gift......

Shen Xun, what does it mean?

At this time, Bao Jing walked into the house lightly, she rolled her eyes, and said to Rong Yu: "Miss, Young Master Shen ......"

Rong Yu looked at the treasure mirror in confusion.

Baojing said in a low voice: "Now the people in the mansion are talking about this rare peacock feather cloak that Young Master Shen gave you, and everything is ......."

Rong Yu asked, "For example?" ”

Baojing paused and said, "For example, some people say that the Shen family has to look at Shu, and they are not satisfied with the two Hou Ladies ...... Xiao wants to marry a Hou Mansion."

Normal......

Rong Yu's tone was calm: "What else?" ”

Baojing said hesitantly: "There are still ......"

"Some people also say, Miss, you may also have intentions for the Shen family, otherwise, you wouldn't have disobeyed Lord Hou and said those words to protect the businessman and the Shen family......"

Rong Yu couldn't help laughing.

Does she intend to marry back to the Shen family?

These idlers are really good at association......

Baojing saw that Rong Yu was unimpressed, and said hurriedly: "Miss, it is a major event related to your life, and you must not let that villain chew the root of his tongue!" ”

Rong Yu looked at the treasure mirror.

She wasn't in a hurry, but Baojing was really anxious......

Why is Baojing in a hurry?

Naturally, I wasn't worried about her young lady's situation......

It's because if she really marries the Shen family, Baojing will also go to the Shen family with her......

Baojing now has a heart to climb high branches, how can he be willing to fall into the Shen family?

Rong Yu laughed sincerely.

She wasn't worried about those rumors, and Xiao Shen would come forward.

As for her marriage, Rong Heng doesn't look down on the Shen family, and the little Shen family values her heart, so she will never marry into the Shen family......

However, she can take advantage of this turmoil to let the treasure mirror go......

Although she doesn't want to see Baojing, Baojing is a child of the family, and she has been with her for a few years, and now she has not made a big mistake, so it is inconvenient for her to drive her away for no reason......

Baojing saw that Rong Yu was laughing, and became more and more anxious: "Miss, why are you still laughing?!" ”

Rong Yu shook off the colorful cloak and said, "Look, how good-looking!" ”

"I never dreamed that there would be such beautiful clothes in the world!"

Baojing glanced at the cloak and persuaded Rong Yu: "Miss, you are the young lady of the Hou Mansion, although the Shen family has a few coins, but it is a lowly businessman......

Rong Yu put down his cloak and said coldly: "You go down, don't say bad things about the Shen family in the future!" ”

Baojing retreated angrily.

Rong Yu sneered in his heart.

As long as this treasure mirror doesn't want to follow her anymore, it's easy to do......

Finally, she opened the congratulatory gift given to her by Rong Hua.

The inconspicuous black wooden box glows golden in the candlelight.

It's five golden tickets......

……

An ordinary blue tile and white wall in the west outer city has two courtyards, and the word "Xia Fu" is written on the door plaque.

In the quiet of the night, a half-old green cloth carriage stopped at the gate of the house, and from the carriage stepped a young man dressed in a pine green official robe and with an elegant appearance.

Summer Year.

The husband and wife of the eldest lady of the Jiang family in the Rongguo Mansion.

Xia Sinian walked to the backyard, raised his eyes and saw Jiang Shi standing under the eaves waiting for him, he walked quickly to Jiang's side, took her hand into the house, and said apologetically: "I'm tired of waiting for me every night......"

Jiang's appearance is beautiful, although she is wearing cloth clothes and silver hairpins, her bearing is still graceful, after listening to Xia Sinian's words, she said angrily: "You only have official business in your heart, I'm afraid you even forgot that today is a small year, right?" ”

Xia Sinian was stunned, and then said with a face full of shame: "Madam, on the day of marriage, I promised you how honored you were to be the young lady of the Guogong Mansion in the past, and you will be equally honored in the future......"

Jiang interrupted Xia Sinian's words and said, "You are knowledgeable, a high school scholar, and the concubine has never felt wronged in her heart for marrying you......"

"You are forging ahead, and you want to let the concubine share the glory, so the concubine should not say much......"

Jiang Shi frowned and looked at Xia Sinian: "The concubine still remembers how upright and upright Zhangtai was when you first arrived at Yushitai......

"Now, he is willing to be driven by the king of England, and he is embarrassed everywhere to make the king......"

"Mrs. Zhang did his best, did not love power, duanwang ruled the water for three years, and the people were grateful for ......"

"Although the King of England and the Ma family are now powerful, justice and people's hearts are all towards King Duan......"

Jiang's eyes were full of worry: "My lord, do you know how the Qingliu literati outside are talking about you and the Yushitai now?!" ”

"Compared with the high-ranking officials who have gained momentum, the concubine only wishes you to stick to your heart and be a good official who speaks for the common people and asks for the people's lives!"

Xia Sinian looked at Jiang Shi for a long time, bowed to her with his sleeves, and said, "Madam, you have a great heart and are more respectable than many court officials who have a vegetarian meal!" ”

"But, Xia is not a mediocre person!"

"How I was determined to be, I am the same ...... now"

He smiled coldly: "King Ying, Ma family, what is the way?!" ”

Xia Sinian is not a man of the British king......

Jiang Shi looked at him in surprise.

Xia Sinian's eyes were resolute: "Madam, what I want to give you is the glory of innocence!" ”

"Look at how your foolish father defeated the entire Rongguo Mansion!"

"Your sister-in-law who has exhausted her skills, what will happen in the future......

……

Sweeping dust, pasting Spring Festival couplets, worshipping the god of the stove, preparing New Year's goods, bathing and changing new clothes, keeping the New Year, setting off firecrackers, making dumplings, worshipping ancestors, and paying New Year's greetings......

In the lunar month and the first month, every household welcomes the new year, and everyone's face is full of joy, sweeping away the depression and dullness of Kyoto City in the months after the defeat.

In this lively New Year's Festival, Rong Yu also felt that his withered state of mind was much more vivid.

The past is full of bitterness and pain, and the future is full of thorns.

This lively and joyful moment is the only thing she can hold......

On the first day of the first lunar month, there was an endless stream of people who came to Rongfu to pay New Year's greetings, including the Rong family's relatives, in-laws and friends, as well as Rong Heng's colleagues and subordinates.

Rong Heng also wants to go to the relatives and the peak to pay New Year's greetings.

The sons and ladies of the Rong Mansion all assisted Rong Heng and Xiao Shen in entertaining guests.

For the so-called relatives and world friends who came to pay New Year's greetings, Rong Yu was not interested at all.

When the Rong Mansion was down, these people avoided it, and after Rong Heng married back to the Great Shen Clan, they all continued to communicate with the Rong Mansion as if they were nothing.

Distant relatives often bring a few boxes of rice cakes and a few bags of fried rice to the door, but Xiao Shen wants to wrap red envelopes for those old people and children, and use smoked fish, bacon, dim sum and fruits as a return gift......

To put it bluntly, I'm here to fight the autumn wind......

As for the "world friends", the Rong Mansion has produced two generations of unsuccessful marquis, and most of the people who come and go are some broken nobles......

Today's Rong Mansion, the most honorable and decent relative, is the Dingguo Mansion that Rong Hua married.

The people of the Shao family were late......

Rong Yu had nothing to do, so he watched Xiao Shen, Rong Ying, Rong Lian and the female relatives who came to pay New Year's greetings to socialize.

This look surprised her......

Rong Ying has a cold temperament, and treats people as cold as frost on weekdays, with few words......

But she was quite gentle to the poor distant relatives of the Rong family, listened to them patiently, and was not annoyed that her white dress was stained with children's dirty handprints......

It contrasts sharply with Rong Yu's carelessness and Rong Lian's perfunctory dislike.

The visitors were full of praise for Rong Ying.

Rong Yu admired Rong Ying even more.

He is neither humble nor arrogant to His Holiness, nor is he deceitful or contemptuous of the weak.

Rong Ying does have the bearing of a mother in the world.

She ate a few cups of tea and teased Brother Chi for a long time before the Shao family arrived.

Shao Nanyan wore a white riding suit, hugged Lamei, and respectfully saluted Xiao Shen.

Xiao Shen asked Rong Yu to take Shao Nanyan to play.

Rong Yu stood up and looked at the soles of Shao Nanyan's boots, sure enough, with mud ......

People who want to come to the Shao family first go out of the city to go to the grave, and then return to the city to pay New Year's greetings, not intentionally snubbing the Rong family......

After walking out of the flower hall, Rong Yu said to Shao Nanyan: "Nanyan, take me to see the New Year's gift from your family......"

"If the Rong Mansion does not return the gift properly, your second lady will definitely use it to talk about it again......"

Shao Nanyan grabbed her sleeve, pointed at Lamei and said, "Good sister, how can you be like a housekeeper at a young age......

"At least find a bottle to plug this plum up......"

Rong Yu said apologetically: "You deliberately picked these plum blossoms back to show me, but I ignored your intentions." ”

Shao Nanyan suddenly sighed: "You don't know how well the plum blossoms in the forest are today......

"The ladies of Kyoto don't want to see me, they think I'm a tomboy, and I don't like them to stay at home and be short-sighted......"

She looked at Rong Yu abruptly: "Those young ladies are just ......."

"But Sister Yu, you are so good, but you have to be confined to the back house......"

Detention in the back house......

Rong Yu walked back to the east courtyard with Shao Nanyan, and said: "Husbands and children, mothers-in-law, wives and concubines, and feeds in the back house, for thousands of years, women in the world have lived like this......"

"Although it is tedious and laborious, and there are even a lot of dirty thoughts hidden, there is also the fun of fireworks in it......"

She looked at Shao Nanyan, her eyes bright: "Nanyan, you are different from the women in the world......

She took a plum blossom and sniffed it, and said, "Although I have not seen the plum forest, I can see the plum blossom you brought me, and I can imagine how fragrant and ......beautiful the plum forest is."

"The good scenery in the world, you see it and tell me, it's the same......"

Shao Nanyan couldn't help but think again: It's a pity that she is not a man......

She thought again: Although she is not a man, there is still a young master in the Shao family who has not yet been married......

……

After a day of guests in the flower hall, Rong Ying didn't return to the house tired until night.

Gu Yu beat her back and said, "The third miss is persistent, and her reputation is bad, so she found another way and befriended the fourth miss of the Shao family......"

She asked Rong Ying, "Miss, are we ......?"

Rong Ying shook her head and said, "Let her go, as long as she doesn't have the idea of beating me and getting in my way, it has nothing to do with me if she wants to be the queen mother......

"How can I have so much effort to focus on her all day long......"

She instructed Gu Yu: "The most important thing at the moment is to take Mrs. Qiushui into Beijing after the New Year......

"And then there's the silver guessing business prepared by Shen Wenshui......"

"Also, how are the preparations for the festival to be presented to the Queen Mother at the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet?"
