As soon as the maid closed the door, she saw the grizzled Aji standing at the door of the bamboo garden. The maid ignored her, and she asked, "I...... Where to stay? ”

In the past, this matter should have been arranged by Steward Jiang, but now Steward Jiang is sober even if it is good, and no one has done this kind of thing that is easy to offend the housewife.

So Aji followed him to Zhuyuan with a small bag of his own things, standing at the door waiting for someone to settle him, but from beginning to end, Bai Chuxi only had Rong Changning in front of him, and he didn't even look at his own son.

Rong Camel just came back from the backyard with a bucket, and stopped when he saw a woman who didn't know where he came from standing at the door of the bamboo garden, and the maid holding the piano behind him saw it and hurriedly replied: "This is the girl that Hou Ye brought back from the dome pass." ”

Rong Fang's expression was as cold as Rong Changning at the beginning, and she didn't care who she was who she would bring back, as long as she didn't block the second sister, it didn't matter where she was.

Thinking in his heart, he walked forward on his own. Seeing that it was Rong Cheng, he got out of the way and was about to open the door, but Rong Huang suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Aji: "You are from Beisai?" ”

"My name is Aggie."

"What's the last name?"

"Yunshang."

"Yunshang Aji?"

"It's Aji Yunshang."

Rong Fang nodded with a sudden realization on his face, and silently wrote down the name and Aji's appearance in his heart. Turning around and walking into the courtyard gate, the maid guarding the door reminded: "Miss Rong Liu, just go back to the room quickly." ”

Rong Cheng nodded: "There is labor." ”

……

The so-called family banquet was just to leave the relatives who came to visit the house for a light meal, and the Bai family did not make a public announcement. Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, what is said is also commonplace.

Bai Xiuyuan, who was the closest to the long house in the past, would be very uncomfortable. Everyone can also understand that he made such a big deal because his son involved the Lu family of Changfang, even if the people in Changfang didn't say a word about it, it still made Bai Xiuyuan feel ashamed.

Waiting for the people to disperse, Bai Chuxi sent Mrs. Ying Guo back to the house first, and Rong Changning took Rong Ying back to the main courtyard first. The maid cleaned up the scraps on the table, and all that was left in the house was cold silence.

Rong Zong walked and said for no reason: "I'll have someone with my second sister." ”

It was really the first time to see Rong Cheng open his mouth to ask for someone, and Rong Changning hurriedly asked: "Who?" ”

"Aji Yunshang."

"Who?" Rong Changning thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that the woman Bai Chuxi brought back seemed to be called 'Aji': "What do you want her to do?" ”

Rong Fang looked at the outsiders beside him before explaining: "I should go home in a few days, I will take her away, and no one will block the second sister." If the second sister feels that it is difficult to speak, I will go to ask the second brother-in-law for someone. ”

"I don't know what happened to the dome pass, and I don't know what kind of plan your second brother-in-law has to bring people back. Since he is involved with Jiang An, the deceased is the greatest. ”

"She didn't mean to offend the deceased, she just thought that if I took people away, I would save the second sister a lot of trouble."

"Are you afraid that the second sister won't even be able to hold a woman?"

"Second sister, don't take it lightly, the more harmless people and animals seem, the more likely they are to harbor ghosts. The second sister doesn't need to pinch outsiders, just pinch the second brother-in-law. ”

Rong Changning looked at Rong Cheng in surprise, and she didn't know where she learned these words, but she didn't want to ask more, so she only took Rong Min's hand and dragged the long shadow back.

Even if Rong Cheng didn't say it, Rong Changning planned to ask Bai Chuxi what he wanted to do with Aji. But there are too many things in front of Bai Chuxi at the moment, the assassin who attempted to assassinate the Eighth Prince in the New Year Fire has not yet been caught, and the Mao Poling case has not yet progressed.

said that it was a recall of the imperial city, but the trivial matters of piling up mountains and seas were in front of him, how could Bai Chuxi have the time to take care of these idle things?

But Xiao Dong felt that what Rong Cheng said was also a way. It is much easier to take people into your own hands, and it is much easier to dispose of them in the future. But Rong Changning did not make it difficult

Before dawn on the second day, before going to court, Bai Chuxi called someone to call Aji.

According to Rong Changning's placement, she first lived in Jiang An's former yard, and sent a few sets of clothes to her. After washing and tidying up my face, it can be regarded as a beautiful appearance.

Aji held down his left heart and saluted Bai Chuxi according to Beisai's etiquette: "General." ”

Bai Chuxi looked at her, and on the desk in front of him, there was a booklet, a pair of jade bracelets, and a waist card.

"Jiang An means to tell you to live a good life in the imperial city. I have consulted with my wife and will give you three options. There is a porcelain shop in Beixun, which is the account book and the title deed, which is selected by the lady from her dowry, which is enough for you to live a lifetime. When you get to Beixun, you can marry someone or do your own business, whatever you want. "Romance 888

Aggie listened sullenly and didn't dare to interject.

"This pair of jade bracelets is also found by the lady from her own dowry, if you don't want to leave the imperial city, I can also be the master to find a good family for you, this pair of jade bracelets is a dowry. There is also the waist card used by the maid of the Marquis Mansion of Mingwu, if you stay in the Hou Mansion, you can only be a maid. ”

After hearing this, Aggie raised his eyes and looked at the waist card. Madame's shop, Madame's jade bracelet, it is not difficult for Aji to understand that these three roads were placed in front of her by Mrs. Houye's hand.

"Jiang An values affection, she entrusts you to the Hou Mansion, and Madame will naturally not treat you badly."

"Aji saw the main mother yesterday, and the main mother is very good, very beautiful, and kind-hearted. Aji came to the Central Plains alone, without support and didn't know how to live. So I didn't dare to go to Beixun......"

Bai Chuxi replied as if he didn't understand her words: "You don't have to worry about this, Madame has some acquaintances in Beixun who can take care of you, and no one dares to bully you because you are a foreigner." It doesn't matter if you don't know how to take care of business, someone will teach you. ”

“……”

"If you want to stay in the imperial city and get married, if you want to be a serious housewife, I'm afraid you won't be able to. However, Mrs. is willing to give you an identity, so that no one will dare to embarrass you after you get married. ”

Bai Chuxi sat on it, quietly waiting for Aji to make a choice. Only she thought for a long time, raised a pair of fawn-like eyes, looked at Bai Chuxi in horror, and finally reached out and took the waist card of the Hou Mansion.

"It's a great blessing to be able to come to the Imperial City. According to the rules of the Central Plains, before the husband's funeral, a woman is not allowed to remarry. I watched over him, just where he grew up. The mistress is so good-natured that she shouldn't hate me. ”

Bai Chuxi breathed a sigh of relief and replied unceremoniously: "The road is chosen by yourself, you have decided to stay, that is to decide to be a slave, even if the master mother hates you, you should accept it." ”

After speaking, Bai Chuxi got up and prepared to go to the court, and left her a sentence when he left: "Since this is the case, you can go to Madame, and everything will obey her orders in the future." ”

Rong Changning, who was standing behind the screen, looked at it, didn't say anything, turned around and went back.

Xiao Dong followed closely behind, thinking back to what Aji had said, he didn't feel angry, and his feet were tight and his mouth was not idle: "What is not supported and I don't know how to live, what kind of funeral is not good for remarriage?" I heard that Beisai women often have a newly widowed daughter-in-law marrying their father-in-law, and a widowed brother and sister-in-law marrying a younger brother, and they still care about this? I saw that it was all an excuse for her to stay in the Hou Mansion. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect an inconspicuous individual to have such great ambitions." Xiaoqiu asked, "Where does the housemother want to place her?" Why don't you send it to the front yard and do a rough job? If someone from someone comes to take a fancy to her, it will be considered her blessing. ”

"You two just do what you have to do." After saying that, he left first, and he didn't tell which yard this person was going to.

As usual, she also took care of her son's affairs in the house. Since Bai Chuxi said that he would leave people behind, Rong Changning found a similar errand for her, and the days went on step by step.

It's just that Rong Changning never thought that the queen would summon him at this time. After the incident in the East Palace, Rong Changning was rarely summoned to the palace, perhaps because he didn't want to see the Rong family to avoid suspicion, Rong Changning and the queen mother were more like a kind of relationship that couldn't be reached.

On the contrary, as soon as Bai Chuxi returned to the city and took over the inventory of the iron cavalry camp, the queen mother actually summoned Rong Changning and asked Rong Changning to take the two children.

The high walls of the palace make the blue brick road, which could have accommodated four cars in parallel, appear to be long and narrow, and there are still water stains left on the road that have just dissipated from the ice and snow.

The spring cold is steep, and the white disease cowers in Rong Changning's arms, the tip of his nose is slightly red, and his big eyes like grapes are gratifying. The queen mother looked at it and waved her hand at him: "You are a little white disease?" Come on, show the mother. ”

Rong Changning knelt on the ground with his head bored, watching his son beside him being carried into the curtain by the eunuch.

But as soon as this little white disease arrived in the arms of the queen, she cried and made trouble, and she refused to stay well, and shouted vaguely in her mouth: "A-Niang......"

Rong Changning raised his eyes worriedly, and saw the queen mother patiently coaxing: "Oh, why did this doll cry like this?" Are you afraid that this palace will not be able to eat people? ”

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins! Sick children are young and afraid of life. When my Hou Ye first came, he didn't dare to get close to Hou Ye. ”

"How could I blame a child?" Empress Li put down the white disease, the little guy ran to Rong Changning's side with a smoke, and sat on the ground with his clumsy jacket at once, Queen Li couldn't help laughing when she saw it: "Why didn't your second son bring it?" ”

"Back to the mother, the child is always crying and noisy, for fear of disturbing the mother's tranquility."

Empress Li blinked her eyes, her eyes looked at the trembling bead curtain, and her eyes were slightly red: "I'm just too clean here, and I always want to be lively." ”

"Mother forgiveness."

"You have a mouthful of 'forgiveness', which seems to be a lot of life." Empress Li waved her hand: "Come and sit." ”

When the palace maid heard this, she raised her hand and lifted the bead curtain to let Jin Rong Changning. Rong Changning also hurriedly got up, picked up Bai Ji and sat opposite Queen Li.

"I asked you to come to the palace just so that you could talk to me. Shengshang Kuanren, thinking of asking me to raise the Seven Princes. But think about the ...... of Qi Zhen back then," Speaking of this, Queen Li shook her head exhaustedly, and sighed full of sorrow: "It's better to give up." ”

The queen, who can't even implicate the abolished prince, is not surprised to be in a hurry to make an indisputable appearance. Immediately afterwards, Empress Li said again: "The middle palace is different from other places, the prince who is sent in will definitely be paid more attention to, I am old, and I don't want to be pushed to the forefront anymore, so I thought, it is better to raise a child outside the palace to avoid many incidents." can look at the imperial city, except for white disease, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Hearing this, Rong Changning suddenly raised his head, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Empress Li thought that she hadn't explained it, and hurriedly added: "If you can be trusted, it is better to put the white disease in the palace and raise him, and I will raise him personally!" ”
