Chapter 7 Cousin of the Xu Family

After such a long time, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Rong Changning did not plan to find a bad year for the family, so he left with Rong Ling.

Rong Ruo called two young people to go to the backyard pond to fish, as if he had forgotten that he had been framed and beaten by his father not long ago.

Rong Changning held the stove and followed Rong Ling on the small bridge by the pond, vaguely looking at Rong Ruo standing on the ice behind the falling snow and dead branches, and suddenly sneered and said, "How fresh? The main mother's bones were not cold, and the concubine was in a hurry to sit in the main courtyard. ”

If it weren't for her father's permission, she wouldn't have the guts. Besides, in previous years, she also sat in that position and talked to her father and mother, which was nothing. Rong Ling understood that her younger sister did not allow Aunt Xu to sit in that position, but she recalled that her mother was a little sad in her heart, and she added some more grievances towards Aunt Xu.

Rong Changning nodded: "Ah Ruo is a broad-hearted, it's better to be broad-hearted." ”

"Ah Ruo's temperament is like that of a mother, and she doesn't hold grudges or pain."

"It's not a good thing if you don't remember the pain."

"I heard that someone is coming from Hengliang's hometown, and it should be there in a few days."

"Hengliang?"

Rong Changning has no memory of Hengliang, that is, he lived there for a while when he was a child, and it was at that time that his amorous father met the daughter of the Xu family, and now Aunt Xu.

As for the rest of the memories, there is only one word 'far', and I followed my parents to travel in a car for a month and a half to reach the imperial city.

The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and I don't know what the people of Hengliang are going to do when they come to the imperial city with the New Year's Pass, Rong Changning couldn't help asking: "Who is here?" The Xu family or the Rong family? ”

"I don't know." Rong Ling shook her head: "Aunt Xu has either had a leg ache or dizziness in the past two days, and my father will go to Lujia Courtyard if he is fine, maybe Aunt Xu will make something happen again, and she called someone from her hometown, right?" ”

"Call someone?" Hearing this, Rong Changning couldn't help but laugh: "She thought this was a march to fight?" Insufficient troops to ask for reinforcements? ”

"Maybe whose child wants to go to his father, although his father is not a big official, but in the end he is in the imperial city, and some people with heads and faces can always talk, and my uncle is a courtier."

"If it's who came to my father, it's a matter of the front yard, and we shouldn't ask more."

During the chat, Rong Changning caught a glimpse of a few maids coming out of the merlin and running in the direction of the back door of the Hou Mansion.

Rong Changning didn't take it seriously, but after a while, he saw a few maids running towards the back door. Rong Changning raised his chin, Xiao Dong called a little girl to ask, and came back after a while: "Miss, I don't know where this group of girls heard that Bai Chuxi, the head of the Bai family's long house, came back today to restore his life." ”

"The young general who dared to lead the northern expedition of the three armies before he was less than twenty?"

Hearing Rong Ling ask, Xiao Dong nodded: "The prince personally went to Xuanyuan Gate to greet him." ”

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, the prince can be called out of the palace to welcome people, but there is no second one in the imperial city." Rong Changning turned to ask, "What does it have to do with our Hou Mansion?" ”

"I don't know who brought the news back, saying that General Bai will pass by the back door of our Hou Mansion. They all planned to see if this little general had three arms and six hands, and a green face and fangs, which could scare the Northern Sai barbarians. Why don't you go and see it too? ”

Rong Changning couldn't help but sweep people's excitement, and replied coldly: "This Chinese New Year's Eve, it is not in accordance with the rules for the female dependents of the family to walk outside. ”

"I also want to go and see what kind of person this person can make the prince out of the palace to greet?"

Rong Changning reminded Na Rong Ling: "Eldest sister, this is really out of line." ”

"It's nothing to stand inside the threshold and take a look, it's not a step out of the door."

It wasn't far from the back door, Rong Ling pulled Rong Changning to walk a few steps out, and saw the back door that was half open, and there were many maids and maids standing there around the door, and there were many people from other families standing outside the door.

Rong Changning pulled Rong Ling away from the door by a few small guys, both of them were dressed relatively plainly, and they shouldn't be eye-catching.

A gust of wind blew in the door and pounced on Rong Changning's face, this cold stinged people's eyes, and their eyes turned red uncontrollably. Rong Changning just wanted to raise his hand to wipe the tears from his eyes, when he saw a tall horse galloping past at the door, and the horse's hooves swept up a thousand strands of snow on the ground.

Immediately, the young man was wearing a cold light armor, and he unintentionally glanced back at the back door of Baining Houfu, swept through the crowd and saw Rong Changning with red lips and white teeth and white mountain eyebrows.

Without three arms, six hands, and no blue-faced fangs, Rong Changning didn't see his appearance clearly, but remembered that his eyes were too clean, like ripples from the rain hitting the Fengjiang River.

How can such a pair of eyes see the sword and blood on the battlefield?

That person was like the wind, and with six or seven people behind him, he blew in front of Rong Changning's eyes and went straight to Xuanyuan Gate.

The tears that would be pierced by the cold wind just fell out, and Rong Changning hurriedly came back to his senses and wiped his face clean: "This wind is too fast. ”

Rong Ling took her hand: "Then let's go back, I didn't see what he looked like." Do you see clearly? ”

Rong Changning shook his head: "I don't have either." ”

Rong Changning only remembered those clean eyes, she had never seen such clear eyes, maybe she was wrong, that person galloped by, she didn't even see her face clearly, how could she see a pair of eyes clearly?

Thinking about Rong Changning, he asked again: "I heard that the Bai family's room is such a lone seedling, and the old lady in charge can't bear to let him go to Beisai?"

"The ancestors of the Bai family followed the ancestor emperor to fight in the south and the north, and the previous generations were killed on the battlefield, and the top number of people in this generation was weak, and there was only such a thing left. It's impossible to say that you are really willing to do that. Rong Ling slowed down and said: "But loyalty to the imperial power is their mission, and several generations have been engraved in their blood. The old lady of the long house is the lady of Yingguo who was personally entitled by Emperor Zhao, and in the face of righteousness, she has to be reluctant to give it up. Aside from the title, Bai Chuxi's official position and prestige in the court are already far above his father's at a young age. ”

Rong Ling looks soft and weak, but she is very clear about the things in the front yard. Seeing that Rong Changning was silent, Rong Ling mentioned again: "Even if there is no title protection, this Bai Chuxi can be regarded as a famous man in the first battle, and he is also a well-known figure in the imperial city." Aren't we still studying in the private school of Yue Shangshu's house in the Ministry of Rites? Yue Shangshu, but General Bai's maternal grandfather, the one from Lukayuan has long been covetous. What about you? By this night, you'll be fifteen. ”

"Me?" Rong Changning looked back at the eldest sister, and the circles under her eyes were still a little red: "I'm not in a hurry, and I don't care." Rongxin is rare, let her go rarely, such a person is not necessarily easy to marry. ”

Compared with the eldest sister's successful attack on the throne, and the retribution that Lukayuan should have, getting married always seems irrelevant.

After eating the family banquet that his father said at night, Rong Changning did not stay much in the main courtyard, and went to the new ancestral hall to offer incense to his ancestors with the help of ventilation, and stopped the sound of firecrackers outside while burning paper money, and unconsciously passed the night.

It wasn't until it was almost dawn that he turned around and went back to his Wanqing Courtyard to prepare to rest, and when he was about to lie down, he didn't forget to call Xiaodong: "The silver beans prepared before will be sent to the people in our courtyard." You yourself rested earlier, and I have nothing else to do. ”

"The slaves and maids all remember it, so the young lady doesn't bother to go to sleep quickly, so as not to fall asleep when you ask for peace."

"Hmm."

Rong Changning responded with his mouth, but he still couldn't sleep when he lay down. The little man fell into a soft mattress, and his body was as light as if he were lying in cotton.

A pair of crescent-like eyes looked at the curtain, and couldn't help but think about the eyes I saw in the daytime, and those eyes must be very beautiful when they laugh.

What are you thinking about? Rong Changning lifted the quilt and wrapped himself tightly, closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep quickly.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, who is Hengliang coming?

Early in the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Rong Changning, who had always been curious, climbed the threshold of Baining Houfu. In this way, the person who comes should spend the New Year on the road.

No wonder Aunt Xu was busy in the front yard and behind the courtyard, anxious to vacate the empty yard, to live for these people.

The fragrance of tea in the flower hall in the front yard was refreshing, and the person sitting opposite Rong Changning was obese and bloated, staring at Rong Changning, and refused to remove those 'poor' eyes.

This man wears a gold pendant on his wrist and a collar around his neck, and the big lock with gold and jade hangs in front of his chest, which is cumbersome and cumbersome, and it is simply unbearable. He was wearing a plush smooth and smooth gray squirrel skin jacket, and the material lining was not ordinary. Under the jacket was a dark purple and gold shirt, which was obviously a luxurious color, but it looked a little rough and funny on this person.

Rong Changning took a sip of tea and swallowed lightly, not looking at this person.

The person on the seat is Rong Changning's distant cousin's aunt, surnamed Xu. is also the mother of the nerd in front of Rong Changning.

If you want to talk about aunts, the cousins and aunts of the Rong family have a basket, and they can't be counted far away. The reason why this one is special is because of Aunt Xu.

When it comes to distance and proximity, she is impartial and is Aunt Xu's sister-in-law. It was this aunt who sent her sister, now Aunt Xu, to her father.

Thinking of this, if Rong Changning can have a good impression of this completely unpleasant nerd in front of him, it will all come out of the sun in the west.

The only merit of this family is that it is well-off. The Xu family, like the Rong family, is a businessman from a wealthy family, and no one knows the surname Rong Xu as soon as they enter Hengliang.

It was only because the ancestor of the Rong family planned early to send his descendants into the temple that he had today's Baininghou, and the local prestige naturally greatly overwhelmed the Xu family.

But this aunt came, and Rong Chuan still called 'cousin' in terms of generation and age.

"Eh, which one is your family Eiji?"

Hearing the call, Rong Changning raised his eyes, and when he saw Rong Chuan waving his hand, Rong Changning had no choice but to get up and say hello: "I've seen my cousin." ”

"Oh, this is Xiao Changning? When I saw it once in Hengliang, it was still a doll with the size of bean sprouts, and now it is also slim and lovely. As she spoke, the richly dressed aunt winked her eyebrows and gestured to her stupid son.
