674, in one fell swoop
Deng Yarong came very early on the day of Laba, an hour earlier than the time agreed on the post, and was the first to arrive.
This is the first time Deng Yarong has come to the Zheng family, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are just maintaining peace on the surface, especially after the Queen Mother gave birth to the princess, she gradually no longer endures the Queen Mother's dictatorship, and the Deng family and the Zheng family, who are the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's mother's family, naturally only maintain face, and almost do not move around on weekdays, only every solar term, send someone to send a gift back, so serious walking, this is the first time, although it is only between juniors, but this seems to be an omen.
Deng Yarong has always been pampered and domineering, only others let her, not when she let others. It's just that in the Zheng family, they don't dare to be presumptuous anymore, after all, the status of the two families is equal, and Deng Yarong still knows how to be pampered, especially after experiencing so many things such as Qi Rui marrying her and being forced to marry, she has some understanding of human feelings, and everything in this world cannot be satisfactory.
"First meeting" Xu Shu, Deng Yarong behaved very decently, "I received Miss Nine's post, but I didn't have time to prepare, I only prepared a thin gift, and please don't dislike Miss Nine!" And Deng Yarong obviously didn't recognize that the person in front of her was Xu Shu, but she was curious about how she knew about her holiday with Xu Ting, as if she knew everything about her past.
If he didn't know clearly what kind of character Deng Yarong was, Xu Shu would have believed that Deng Yarong was really the decent and generous appearance in front of him! It seems that in order to let Deng Yarong get married, Mrs. Deng has put a lot of effort into it.
"Fifth Miss is polite, I'm very happy to have you here!" Even after saying this, Xu Shu still accepted the gift handed over by Deng Yarong. "What kind of tea does Miss Fifth like to drink?"
"It's good to have any tea, I don't pick it!" Deng Yarong doesn't like to drink tea, so she just behaves, and there is no need to be picky.
Xu Shu nodded and ordered.
Deng Yarong quietly looked around the room, and found that the layout in the room was very simple, and it was not like what a woman's boudoir should look like, although the only few furnishings were worth a lot of money, such an arrangement Deng Yarong felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while, and the Miss Zheng Jiu in front of her also gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Deng Yarong smiled, "I seem to have come early, so I didn't bother you, right?" ”
"No!"
"Miss Nine said that Miss Xu Qi will come today?"
"Miss Xu Qi?" Xu Shu blinked, "I don't know Miss Xu Qi well, so I didn't invite her today!" ”
Deng Yarong's smile immediately froze, and her calm and modest tone couldn't be maintained anymore, "When I answered the post that day, the maid clearly said ......"
"My maidservant only seemed to say that I also invited Miss Xu of the Xu family that day, but she didn't say that I invited Miss Xu Qi!"
Deng Yarong was stunned, indeed, the maid who went to deliver the post that day did not explicitly say that Xu Ting would come, but she clearly meant that in and out of her words, and now she wanted that maid to deliberately lead her to Xu Ting!
"You fool me!" Deng Yarong looked angry.
"It's your own wishful thinking, thinking that the Miss Xu family in my maid's mouth is Miss Xu Qi's!"
Deng Yarong was about to leave with her sleeves up, but Xu Shu suddenly said slowly, "Speaking of Miss Xu Qi, I saw her when I went to the temple to offer incense a while ago!" At that time, there was also the second grandmother of Yongle Houfu, Liang's grandmother! At that time, they seemed to be saying that they were going to Qingwangfu or something! ”
Liang's second grandmother is Xu Ting's cousin, the Liang family is King Qing's uncle's family, there is nothing strange about the Liang family going to King Qing's mansion, what is Xu Ting going to do? Could it be that she wants to tie up with King Qing?
Also, with the status of the Xu family, Xu Ting married into the Rongguo Mansion, not to mention being recognized by the elders in the family, I am afraid that even the mother-in-law and servants who are on an errand will despise her, she does not tie up with a powerful backer, how to gain a foothold in the Rongguo Mansion.
Xu Shu smiled, "Miss Xu Qi seems to be Miss Deng Wu's younger brother and sister in the future!" As soon as you came, you asked about Miss Xu Qi, thinking that she had a deep affection and had been thinking about her! ”
Deng Yarong sneered, "Who cares!" The disdainful tone was instantly revealed, and all the gentleness and decency were just an illusion.
"Listening to Miss Five, it seems that you don't like Miss Xu Qi very much?"
"What's your business?" Deng Yarong looked at Xu Shu coldly, obviously forgetting Mrs. Deng's explanation before going out.
"It's none of my business!" Xu Shu spread her hands, "Who you like, who you don't like, you are free!" It's just that some things are not something you like or don't like, and Miss Deng Wu understands this better than anyone else! ”
Deng Yarong likes Qi Rui, but Qi Rui can't marry her, Deng Yarong doesn't like Xu Ting, but Xu Ting can still be upright, Ming Media is marrying Qi Rui's wife, and becoming the identity that Deng Yarong dreams of, whether Deng Yarong likes it or not, whether she hates it or not, this is a fact that is about to happen.
"You!" Deng Ya glared at Xu Shu angrily, slapping people without slapping her face, scolding people without revealing her shortcomings, but Xu Shu picked her sore spot and stepped on it.
Xu Shu shook her head with regret on her face, "Fifth Miss has such a straightforward personality, how can she be the opponent of the thoughtful Miss Xu Qi, thinking about the fact that Miss Xu Qi can marry into a dignified family as the last family and not the eldest of the family, this scheming is not deep?" When Miss Xu Qi marries into the Rongguo Mansion, will there still be a place for the fifth lady in the Rongguo Mansion? ”
"You don't have to worry about it!" Deng Yarong has a strong appearance, but she understands in her heart that the Deng family and the Xu family competed for marriage with Qi Rui at the same time, and the Deng family did not hesitate to stop it with the excuse of giving marriage, but in the end the Xu family sacrificed Xu Shu, and took this opportunity to get the emperor's marriage, in this competition, the Deng family lost to the Xu family, and lost miserably, in order not to lose face, so she was forced to marry her eldest cousin and became the sister-in-law of her fourth cousin...... The Xu family, a small family that does not enter the stream, was able to defeat the Deng family, relying on the ruthlessness of sacrificing their own flesh and blood, and in the future, she will have to deal with Xu Ting from such an unscrupulous family, in addition to extreme boredom, she also faintly reveals a trace of fear.
Deng Yarong, who is strong on the outside and strong in the middle, has always only pressed each other with power, and she has no defense against the selfishness and roundabouts of those inner houses, Xu Shu almost doesn't have to think about it to know that it won't take long for Xu Ting to make a move on Deng Yarong after entering the door, after all, Deng Yarong's thoughts about Qi Rui are well known in the Qi family, and it is impossible for Xu Ting to leave such a big threat in front of her.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew in, and Deng Yarong trembled for a while, and didn't want to turn back and scold, "Don't you have long eyes?" Won't say a word before coming in? ”
