Chapter 52: A New Hope
How did you get to this? Rong Hai looked at his daughter suspiciously, but listened to her, "If Emperor Longwu has no intention of accepting concubines at all, then this incident is just to kill chickens and monkeys and block the mouths of other people who admonish them, but the eldest princess of Jinyang was released after being locked up for less than half a month, how can she really be angry?" ”
"Ministers, who cares about these days, father, don't you say?" Rong Lan covered her mouth and smiled, "I'll just say, how can there be a group of girls in the right age in this world who don't choose and guard a woman who is nearly thirty years old?" What's more, this Queen Yun has been in the emperor for ten years, and she hasn't even given birth to a princess, if it weren't for the Yun family's contribution to the court, I'm afraid that someone would shout after the abolition. ”
Hu listened to it for a long time, and didn't know why his daughter didn't talk about Li Jingyi, and began to talk about royal affairs here again, "It's all me, if I wasn't so anxious, I wouldn't make such a fuss about the post,"
She resented Ronghai even more in her heart, obviously Ronghai swore to her that the eldest princess of Jinyang would not be able to turn over this time, and the emperor wanted to use this half-sister to build his good reputation of deep affection! She didn't believe it at the time, and asked repeatedly, but Rong Hai sighed with her for a long time, saying that without the secret contribution of the eldest princess of Jinyang, they would have fewer connections in the capital, and asked her to prepare a few "local products" immediately and send them to the people who made good friends in the capital.
You are not gullible, but the resentment in your heart is buried too deep, too thick, as long as there is a small spark, you can no longer control it, in the end it is your "biological mother", Rong Lan doesn't want to nail her too dead, "It's useless to say these things now, the most important thing is in front of you, if Li Jingyi really gets into court, how should we deal with it?" ”
"I've asked people to spread a lot of news these days, and there are many sympathizers for us,"
Rong Lan said to Rong Hai what she has been doing these days, "If it really goes to the court, Li Jingyi refuses to reconcile and give her brother another chance, then don't blame us for turning our faces and being ruthless, a disobedience is proper, Li Jingyi is a county lord and not a princess, and she is not surnamed Zhao, I see that she is reluctant to use what kind of monarch and minister, when the time comes, I will send someone to incite the people below, and when the time comes, the crowd will be angry, as long as Yunhou has a heart, he can also push the boat down the river and press this matter." ”
"How should we make amends, how should we make amends, can Yunhou really sentence his brother and her to be reconciled? As long as their husband and wife status is there, the elder brother is still a proper guest of honor, the eldest princess of Jinyang has always been a fool, as long as we work hard, she may not be towards Li Jingyi, as for An Guohou's side, he is a stranger to the eldest princess's mansion, the eldest princess will not pursue it, as long as the brother's sincerity is enough, who will make a scandal in the capital? ”
Rong Lan didn't miss anything, and pointed out what would happen after that, "Father, what do you say? ”
"Alas, if you are a son, I will kill this waste immediately," after listening to his daughter's words, Rong Hai blurted out the regret in his heart.
What about daughters? These ancients are really enough, they want to take advantage of their daughters, but they also don't look down on their daughters in their hearts, Rong Lan sneered slightly, "Where did my father say, my brother was also confused by his cousin for a while, and now that I understand it, I don't know how much I regret it, otherwise I wouldn't have knelt outside the gate of Fangyuan all day long, and I have lost a layer of skin!" ”
What's so great about tanning and peeling? It's really squeamish, thinking that he earned today's achievements in the sea of blood, Rong Hai is not in the mood to affirm Rong Zhi's merits, "This is what he deserves, not to mention that he just sheds his skin, even if he breaks his leg on his knees, he deserves it!" ”
"By the way, did Hu Xueying find it?" Rong Hai remembered this culprit.
"Not yet, the concubine estimated that she had run back to Yangzhou, so she sent someone to Yangzhou, or in a few days, the third brother would come back in person," Hu was afraid that Rong Hai would go to find his niece in person, so he said busily.
Rong Lan glanced at Hu Shi and pursed her lips and smiled, "Mother knows my cousin best, she said that her cousin ran away, I think it's true, it's just that my cousin just got bored, this Yangzhou is not far away, it is not close, I don't know if my cousin can return home safely." ”
"She has to go back for the New Year every year, and this road is also familiar, so she should be fine," as long as she keeps her niece and can coax Li Jingyi in the future, she has to give her niece a name.
After saying nothing for a while, Rong Hai shook his hand and went directly to Manfen Pavilion, while Aunt Lin seemed to expect Rong Hai to come over, she had already prepared a light side dish, and waited for him with her son Rong Qi.
"I've seen the master,"
"Sit down, it's just you, I can take a breath," I used to think that Aunt Lin's Manfen Pavilion was too simple, and even felt that cleaning up the house like this was a habit in Lin Hanmo's bones that was difficult to change, even if she became an aunt, she would treat herself as a slave, now look at it, this snow-white powder wall, scattered but unique potted plants, and the ink landscape on the wall with a distant artistic conception, Rong Hai has another layer of understanding of Aunt Lin.
"From then on, the master will come to sit here with the concubine more often," Aunt Lin pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm afraid that the old man thinks that the concubine is old, has a rough appearance, and can't speak......"
As soon as Aunt Lin said this, Rong Hai found that Aunt Lin was much darker than before, and even the corners of her forehead were slightly red, "You have been outside Fangyuan these days?" ”
"Yes, it's just that the county lord doesn't want to see the concubine," Aunt Lin's expression darkened, and she lowered her head and said, "The concubine has already written several letters to the eldest princess in a row, and I don't know if His Highness has received it now." ”
The eldest princess of Jinyang, it's a pity that far water can't quench her thirst, Rong Hai's annoyed brows furrowed, "What's going on, that Hu family, usually just Hu Lai, even wants to poke a hole out of the sky!" ”
"The old man is angry, the nephew is still there," Aunt Lin helped Rong Hai to breathe and whispered, "The concubine has thought about it these days, speaking of which, Fang Tongzhi's wife is also from the capital, if you study carefully, Cheng Enbo's Mansion can be regarded as a close relationship with the eldest princess's mansion, I am afraid that the concubine will have the courage to ask to see Mrs. Wang, and ask her to make peace." ”
"Okay, I didn't even think of this," Li Jingyi lives in Fangyuan, their people can't get in, but the Wang family comes and goes freely, "Then what did the Wang family say?" ”
Aunt Lin smiled slightly, and finally didn't dare to say too much, "The gifts given by the concubine Mrs. Wang have all accepted, but she didn't say anything to tell the truth, the concubine has a little knowledge, how can there be a reason in this world to accept gifts and not do things?" ”
Seeing that Rong Hai didn't speak, Aunt Lin was frightened, her face changed, and she immediately knelt down, "Please also ask the master to forgive the concubine for the crime of making her own opinion." ”
"Hurry up, it's too late for me to reward you, how can I blame you, brother, help your mother up," Rong Hai smiled, "You inner house women still have a way to do this inner house, I didn't expect this layer, the county lord is not sensible, so can the Wang family not know how powerful it is?" With her persuasion, I will go with you tomorrow, let's give enough face, I don't believe that Li Jingyi can still ignore me, the metropolitan governor? ”
"What the master said is," Aunt Lin pursed her lips and smiled, and walked over to Ronghai with gentle steps, "The master is also tired outside, eat more." ”
The next day, as he said, Rong Hai personally took the whole family to Fangyuan, but Li Jingyi was still as usual: No!
Rong Hai, the governor of the South Road Water Division, naturally did not stay at the gate stupidly like the Hu family, but handed the post to Yun Chi, saying that he wanted to meet Lord Qincha.
"This Ronghai is really a treacherous and slippery," Zhou Shiqing shook the post in his hand, "Come on, let's all go to welcome the Grand Duke." ”
Rong Hai didn't expect Yunchi to be there?
Zhou Shiqing hugged his fists and smiled, "Early this morning, Hou Ye and Fang Tongzhi went out together, not to hide it from the Metropolitan Governor, Hou Ye saw that the people of Zhuzhou were simple and the scenery was pleasant, so he gave birth to the idea of buying a grange here, Master Fang chose a few places, and today Lord Hou went out of the city with Lord Fang." ”
Yun Chi and Li Jingyi expected that Rong Hai would come in person today, so Yun Chi simply called Fang Weimin early and went out of the city to see the scenery.
"That's it," Rong Lan looked disappointed, she hadn't seen Yun Chi for a long time, and she deliberately put on makeup today, but she didn't expect to be empty, "I don't know when Master Hou will come back?" ”
Zhou Shiqing twisted his beard and smiled, "This is really hard to say, Miss also knows, we are all subordinates, where is this Lord Qincha going, and how long he will go, he can only follow, and he can't ask." ”
Under Zhou Shiqing's substantial gaze, Rong Lan lowered her head a little embarrassed, "Then I don't know if Mr. Zhou can pass it on my behalf, my mother and I want to see the county lord,"
"Is this it? To tell you the truth, the county lord is not in the mansion today," Zhou Shiqing said with a smile, "The county lord's body has been raised these days, and it has been good, Zhou saw that she was not good and kept in a small courtyard, so he suggested that the county lord go out and walk around to breathe, and today the county lord invited Mrs. Wang's family to go to Miaoshui Nunnery." ”
None of this? Rong Lan was stunned to see Rong Hai, she made great efforts to buy a rough envoy in Fangyuan, but didn't she hear her send a letter saying that Li Jingyi was going to Miaoshui Nunnery?
If he couldn't see that Li Jingyi was avoiding them, Rong Hai would also be the governor of this water master in vain, "Lan'er, go to Miaoshui Nunnery with your mother." ”
After saying that, Rong Hai hugged his fist at Zhou Shiqing, "Farewell." ”
The little old man was quite horizontal, Zhou Shiqing watched Rong Hai brush his sleeves away, and said, "There is another thing I think the Metropolitan Governor should know, tomorrow the Hou Ye is going to officially open the trial of General Rong's wife murder case in the Zhuzhou Mansion." ”
The Rong family and his party all stopped, and Rong Hai turned around, his face full of disbelief, "Open the hall?" What kind of church? ”
Immediately, he understood, "This was said by Yunhou himself?" ”
"Naturally," Zhou Shiqing spread his hands, "The county lord's letter has been handed over for half a month, and if the court is not opened, it will be difficult for An Guohou to come over and explain, the metropolitan governor said yes?" ”
Rong Hai hid the murderous aura in his eyes, "That being the case, then Rong Zhi dares not to obey the order?" ”
"Father," he knelt for more than ten days, and finally got a result of going to court? Rong Zhi laughed out loud, and he glanced at Rong Lan with some schadenfreude, "The county lord doesn't want to let me go, even if I have been kneeling at the gate of Fangyuan for more than ten days, do you think I will continue to kneel today?" ”
