009 Lifetime Event
As soon as Rong Jiu returned to Rong's Mansion, he was directly stopped by Rong Yu. She sneered, "Xiao Jiu, don't blame me for not reminding you. You shouldn't have come home today. ”
Rong Jiu frowned slightly and said, "Eighth sister, what do you want to do?" ”
Rong Yu waved her hand, "It's not me this time." ”
As soon as Rong Yu's voice fell, she saw seven women coming out of the main hall, all of them with dignified looks and gorgeous clothes.
"Xiao Jiu......" Qi brushed and shouted, and Rong Jiu knew what Rong Yu meant.
The seven women in front of him are his seven sisters. The seven of them appeared together, basically with only one thing, concerned about his wife.
Rong Jiu only thought of one word, escape.
Before Xiao Jiu......'s feet moved, he heard another majestic voice coming.
That person was the old lady of Rong Mansion, Rong Jiu's mother. But Rong Jiu was not born to this old lady, but to an aunt of Rong Jiang before his death. But Rong Jiu's biological mother died of illness not long after giving birth to him, and the old lady has always regarded him as her own. In addition, the old lady has a lot of style in the world, and she has always been admired by Rong Jiu.
"Mother." Rong Jiu bowed slightly, and his tone finally had some respect.
Old Madam Rong sat on the chair and said, "Several of your sisters came back to see you, why don't you come over quickly?" ”
"Yes, Mother."
Rong Yu smiled evilly at Rong Jiu, revealing a look of self-begging.
Rong Jiu arrived in the main hall, sat down too, and said, "I don't know what happened when the sisters came back?" ”
"Naturally, it's for your life's work." The eldest sister Rong Hua has always been a straight person, straight to the point and straight to the point.
Knowing that it would be like this, Rong Jiu was already starting to feel a headache.
So, Sister 234567 began to take out dozens of portraits of women, and began to gossip, "This is the daughter of Master Li's family, and she is both talented and ......beautiful."
"This is the daughter of Zhang Yuanwai's family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting......"
"This is the daughter of a wealthy businessman who will take care of the family business......"
……
After finally finishing speaking, Mrs. Rong asked, "Your sisters have shown you so much, but any of them are eye-catching?" ”
Rong Jiu didn't look at those portraits at all, and replied, "No." ”
Several sisters were depressed at once.
Old Madam Rong made a mistake, "This is not the first batch, you didn't even like it." Xiao Jiu, what kind of girl's house do you like? You don't want any of these, it's better to let your cousin, Mingxiang, marry you. ”
"Uncle, don't mess around with the mandarin duck score." I didn't see anyone and heard his voice first, but I saw a woman in yellow walk in. The skin is white and beautiful, and a pair of big apricot eyes look very energetic and playful.
This person is Rong Jiu's cousin, Ming Xiang, who has been living in Rong Mansion for five years.
She walked in and said, "Mingxiang has always treated Brother Jiu as an elder brother. What's more, the ninth brother is too old and has become a little old, and Mingxiang has never seen his effect. Mingxiang lives with him, doesn't he have to be sad every day? When Ming Xiang said this, everyone present laughed.
The party Rong Jiu didn't feel any embarrassment.
Old Madam Rong looked at Ming Xiang and said, "You girl, other women want to enter the door of our Rong family, but their heads are sharpened, and they are squeezing in on tiptoe, you are good, you actually said this Xiao Jiu." ”
Ming Xiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Ming Xiang is just telling the truth." What's more, Brother Nine definitely doesn't want to marry Mingxiang, otherwise, after all these years, Brother Nine won't say a word about it. ”
Rong Jiu took the opportunity to say, "What Ming Xiang said is not wrong. Mother doesn't need to rush this matter. ”
Old Madam Rong shook her head and said, "How can I not be in a hurry?" You are thirty-two, but you have not yet taken a wife, and you will not even have a concubine. This Rong family is only one son of yours, how do you let me face your father and mother and the ancestors of the Rong family? There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, Xiao Jiu, a few years ago, I never urged you. But now, I have to be in a hurry. ”
"Xiao Jiu, to be honest, do you have some problems? If this is the case, we will ask the best doctor to treat you. "It's still the eldest sister Ronghua who goes straight.
"Poof......" Rong Yu squirted out directly with a sip of tea.
Old Madam Rong frowned and said, "Eighth child, you also take care of your own image." ”
"Yes, Mother."
Old Madam Rong's attention was successfully diverted by Rong Yu, and she said, "Don't patronize watching the play there." You are older than Xiao Jiu, but you don't worry about your own affairs at all. If you weren't in the Rong family, this outside might have said something to you. ”
Rong Yu said indifferently, "Mother, even if I am in the Rong family, there are all kinds of rumors about me outside. It's just that I don't dare to pass it on to the ears of our Rong family. ”
Old Madam Rong shook her head helplessly, "You, what are you asking me to say about you?" ”
Rong Yu smiled, "Mother, don't say anything." The first seven sisters are already married, and there is no more than me, and there is no less than me. Mother, let's care about the only son of our Rong family first. ”
Attention shifted from Rong Yu to Rong Jiu again.
"Xiao Jiu, you really don't have something unspeakable, right?" Although she didn't want to believe it, Mrs. Rong still felt that this possibility could not be ruled out. Otherwise, with Rong Jiu's background and ability, he shouldn't be at this age, he is still not interested in women.
"Mother, I don't have any hidden diseases."
"Then why are you so reluctant to take a wife? You have choked our sisters enough and annoyed our mothers, which is really not right. Rong Hua was puzzled.
"It's just a matter of letting it be. If I meet the woman I like, I will definitely marry her into the Rong Mansion. I hope that my mother and sisters will not be in a hurry. ”
"That's it, maybe Xiao Jiu has already met the girl he likes, but he hasn't had time to tell you yet." Rong Yu said on the side.
Rong Hua immediately asked, "Eighth child, do you know something?" Tell us about it, we don't have to rush here. ”
Rong Yu looked at Rong Jiu and saw that he didn't seem to object, so she said, "Yesterday was the Lantern Festival, I went out with Xiao Jiu for a walk. Xiao Jiu met the girl he thought he liked, but it was a pity that he didn't ask for much information, but he knew that this girl's name was Yunshang. ”
"Yunshang? Old eight, is this matter reliable? That girl won't let someone else, right? Also, is it really Xiao Jiu's favorite? Rong Hua continued to ask.
Rong Yu nodded, "With my eyesight, that girl must not be married." As for Xiao Jiu, didn't you see the straight eyes he looked at the girl at that time, he must have taken a fancy to them. I've never seen Xiao Jiu look at a girl with that kind of look. ”
What Rong Yu said was true, but Rong Jiu still didn't stand up to refute it.
When Mrs. Rong heard this, she immediately said happily, "It doesn't matter what this girl's family background is, as long as we Xiao Jiu like it." Xiao Jiu, is this really the case? ”
In order to prevent the women from dwelling on this matter, Rong Jiu simply said, "That's true." It's just that this matter can't be rushed, otherwise it will only seem that I am too frivolous. ”
Hearing Rong Jiu admit it in person, Mrs. Rong was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I won't urge you, it's good if you have a girl you like." Then you have to hurry, don't make us wait too long. ”
"Yes. Then I still have some official business to deal with, so I won't accompany my sisters and retire first. ”
"Okay, you go get busy."
As soon as Rong Jiu left the main hall with his front feet, Rong Yu was surrounded by several sisters.
"Is that girl good-looking? How old is it? ”
"How did you see that? Did you talk to Xiao Jiu? ”
"How did the girl look at Xiao Jiu's eyes? Are you also directly fascinated by Xiao Jiu? ”
“……”
Rong Jiu was resolute and decisive outside, but he didn't have much to do with the few women in the family. He fled and returned to his study. As soon as he sat down, someone came in and said, "Young master, someone picked this up by the river and specially sent it to the young master." ”
Rong Jiu saw that it was just an ordinary river lamp, so he asked, "Why are you showing me this?" ”
The man took out the note from the river lantern and handed it over, "Just because there is this in it, please take a look at the young master." ”
Rong Jiu opened the note and looked at it, there was a line of small words on it, hoping that Rong Jiu, a big villain, would never marry a daughter-in-law, or marry a girl who was extremely ugly and had a bad temper.
The subordinate looked at Rong Jiu, thinking that he didn't know which person who had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall dared to curse the dignified Taifu like this. When Rong Jiu saw it, he should immediately order someone to find this bold person. But after waiting for a long time, not only did he not see Rong Jiu showing displeasure, but he saw that Rong Jiu seemed to bend the corners of his lips and smiled.
Their Taifu actually laughed, and it didn't seem to be terrible.
