Chapter 156: Weathering the Storm Together (Part II)

Chapter 156: Spending the Storm Together (Part II)

Mrs. Shen's mother went and returned, talking in Mrs. Shen's ear, Zhao Wenwen was also unsettled, listening to Rong Hua while paying attention to Mrs. Shen's movements. ()

At this time, it was not good for everyone to feel nervous, and Rong Hua turned to talk about reprinting the collection that could not be bought on the market.

Zhao Wenwen listened and agreed, "In fact, many books on the market came like this, otherwise where can they be circulated for such a long time, whether it is a book or a quotation, it is a teaching after all, if it is not for people to see, it will be meaningless, but some people will not take out these unique books as property, the more they are not circulated on the market, the more expensive the price, the more such a book from a century-old family can get a few volumes to be great, if the descendants are all interested, it is good, if there are a few unfilial piety, either sold into property, or improper storage, There really won't be anything left down in the future. ”

Rong Hua said: "You and I want to go together." ”

Zhao Wenwen blushed, "It's not me, it's my husband and father-in-law who often talk about it," said with a smile on her face, "The last time I borrowed a book, my husband repeatedly asked me to thank the young lady." ”

Rong Hua pursed his lips and smiled, "Does my brother-in-law understand the matter of printing books?" I'd like to find someone to trust with a few books. ”

Zhao Wenwen's face suddenly showed a surprised expression, but it was not ambiguous, "If my sister is relieved, it will naturally be ......."

It's not that she hasn't inquired before, the Shen family has printed a collection of unique books several times, and the Shen family's big house runs a bookstore, so she couldn't be clearer about this matter.

Rong Hua and Zhao Wenwen talked like this, and unconsciously got a little closer.

In this way, Zhao Wenwen's face was embarrassed, it stands to reason that with Rong Hua's closeness to her, she shouldn't hide many words from Rong Hua, but even the master is difficult to decide on such an important matter, in fact, she is also afraid in her heart...... After all, the errand in charge of the river and defense is very dangerous, and if something goes wrong, it may cause a big disaster, just like the result of the Shen family's previous dynasty.

But the husband is very concerned about this matter. Some time ago, I heard that it was Wu Muhou who supervised the defense of Gyeonggi this time, and the lord also said, "It is rare that there is anyone who is dedicated to doing things for the imperial court, Wu Muhou is one, but unfortunately no one around him knows how to do water affairs, everyone knows the disadvantages of Gyeonggi defense, and the official in charge of defense is not a wealthy family, so you can imagine what the defense is like when they are empty." No one wants to take on such an errand, and no one is afraid of getting into trouble......"

The husband said: "Our family is a century-old family of water control, but we know how to deal with water affairs, and we are not afraid of trouble and being implicated." ”

These words made Master Shen so angry that he almost used family law, and only scolded his husband for being an unfilial son.

Zhao Wenwen looked at Rong Hua's gentle smile, twisted her fingers slightly on the handkerchief, and said, "Did Master Hou tell my sister about the matter on the embankment?" ”

Rong Hua said: "I said it, but where do I know a lot, now as long as it rains, I will be very nervous, and there is no other way." ”

Zhao Wenwen turned her head to look at Mrs. Shen, and her sister-in-law was pouring tea for Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen took the tea and briefly told the eldest daughter-in-law about the matter, and the eldest daughter-in-law, who had always regarded her as an arm, also looked at her with a surprised expression, "According to what the mother said, the Hou Mansion should put forward conditions for a while, and it is impossible to give such a gift so easily." ”

Something like this doesn't just come in without saying anything. Mrs. Shen went to see Mrs. Wu Muhou Tao again, Mrs. Wu Muhou looked like she didn't know anything at all, obviously worried about the Hou Ye, but she didn't easily mention to her that she wanted the Shen family to help, if she hadn't asked, Mrs. Wu Muhou might not even mention the Hou Ye's defense errand.

The main owner who sent the things was so calm, with a beautiful face, bright eyes, and a calm smile, but in comparison, their Shen family was panicked, but as the host, they were not as calm as the invited guests.

Mrs. Shen's gaze kept changing and gradually settled down, how old is Mrs. Wu Muhou, and how old will it be in the future......

The man is outside, although the woman manages the inner house, but the inner house is not safe, and it is difficult to have any good results outside, the Xue family married a good daughter-in-law.

After watching the play, the Shen family left Rong Hua to eat again, and Rong Hua said goodbye to Mrs. Shen.

Before leaving, the Shen family sent a return gift, and Mrs. Shen sent Rong Hua to the Hanging Flower Gate, and then said with a smile: "The third child of my family has always said that he wants to visit the Hou Ye. ”

When Rong Hua heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a real smile appeared on his face.

Rong Hua got into the car, the carriage slowly moved forward, and Jinxiu said in a low voice: "The Shen family's return gifts are all brocade. ”

Rong Hua smiled slightly when he heard the word brocade. It was obviously a charcoal in the snow, but it was vaguely said that it was the icing on the cake, and the Shen family agreed to help.

It took a lot of trouble to move the Shen family, Xue Mingrui spent a lot of time outside, not to mention, if Zhao Wenwen's request for a book did not come to fruition, or she and Zhao Wenwen failed to get close, or the old lady did not take out this gift for her to send to the Shen family, I am afraid that today's matter would not be so easy.

The Shen family began to let Zhao Wenwen come to the Hou Mansion to borrow books, which was also a temptation, one was to see the situation of the Hou Mansion, and the other was to test the attitude of the Hou Mansion, fortunately, she went smoothly every step, plus the Shen family is indeed a famous family, and the people are very easy to get along with.

Rong Hua took a long breath, when did the old lady know that Xue Mingrui was going to ask the Shen family for help, and when did she get the "Water Control Strategy" written by the ancestors of the Shen family? The Shen family was convicted in the previous dynasty, and such a book was not allowed to be passed on, and the Shen family itself failed to keep the next complete one, and now this book is back in the hands of the Shen family, although it is not the foundation of the Shen family's ancestors, the Shen family can be regarded as having an explanation in front of the ancestors, so Mrs. Shen knows that Rong Hua brought this book, how can she not panic?

As soon as the carriage turned into Xicheng Hutong, the sky suddenly darkened, and the mother-in-law who followed the car outside said, "Young lady, it may be raining." ”

The rain that came as soon as it came, and the sky that had just darkened was suddenly turned white by the rain, and in the blink of an eye, water accumulated on the ground, and although rain gear was prepared, the people outside were drenched before they had time to put it on.

The mother-in-law said: "When I arrived at the Weeping Flower Gate, the slave maid went down first and ordered someone to come and answer, and then got off the car when the young lady was ready, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Jinxiu responded for Rong Hua in the car.

The carriage stopped, and after a while, there were many footsteps, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law propped up the rain gear, and Hongying came out to give a pair of red sheepskin boots, a grape green small tail pattern cloak, goose yellow rhombus, Rong Hua got off the car after wearing it properly in the carriage, Rong Hua's feet just fell to the ground, and the Jinxiu side of Rong Hua happened to see someone coming in a hurry, and carefully stared at it It turned out to be Chen's mother.

Chen's mother didn't bring rain gear when she came out, the rain was so heavy and urgent, she didn't have time to dodge for a while, and was suddenly drenched so badly, seeing that there was a carriage stopped in front of the Hou Mansion, and there was a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a big posture, first Jinxiu got out of the car, and then the young lady wearing a grape green cloak next.

Chen's mother stepped forward to speak for a while, but she was afraid of being embarrassed and rude, and she didn't know what to do when she stood next to her.

Fortunately, Rong Hua listened to Jinxiu's words, turned his head to look at Chen's mother and said, "Let's go in with me first."

Chen's mother hurriedly agreed.

Jinxiu asked her family to hand an umbrella to Chen's mother, and Chen's mother opened the umbrella, so she could take care of wiping her face.

Rong Hua, Jinxiu, and Hongying have entered the house surrounded by their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, although the mother-in-law below covered it carefully with an umbrella, Ronghua was still wet by the rain along the way, and when she entered the door, Chunyao had already ordered someone to take clean clothes and hot water, Chunyao and Jinxiu took off the cloak on Ronghua's body and handed it to Hongying, and took a soft towel to wipe the rain on Ronghua's face.

Rong Hua instructed Hongyu, "Go see if there are any Chen's mother's clothes, and take a clean set for Chen's mother to change." ”

Chen's mother thanked Rong Hua and was led by Hongyu to the house in Luding.

Rong Hua changed his boots and entered the inner room, and Chun Yao said, "Let people prepare hot water in the clean room." ”

Rong Hua nodded, I don't know if it was rained, and I felt a cool breath on my body, especially a faint pain in my lower abdomen.

Rong Hua entered the clean room and looked, sure enough, it was the menstrual affair that had been delayed for a long time, knowing that she was not pregnant, she felt a little relieved, she had just married in, and many things had not been arranged...... I don't know what's going to happen yet.

After the last time the imperial doctor in the palace came to the palace to diagnose her, she was more or less uneasy in her heart.

If a woman marries someone, who doesn't want to get a man to stabilize her position in one fell swoop, and who knows what God's will is, Rong Hua closed her eyes, don't deliberate in everything, it's best to go with the flow.

Chunyao hurriedly asked the small kitchen to fry salt, green onion and ginger and prepare a small cloth bag.

Jinxiu changed her clothes and came out, and when she heard Chunyao say it, she immediately frowned, "How good is this, it's already late, and the young lady loves abdominal pain, so it's raining at this time." ”

Chunyao said: "No matter what, put ginger and salt on it first, and then ask Lang Zhong to take a look." As he spoke, the small kitchen had already brought the cloth bag and brought a bowl of brown sugar water.

Hongying took off the dirty clothes, Chen's mother took the opportunity to take a look, and saw the daughter-in-law in the kitchen serving brown sugar water and a small cloth bag, and knew that it was Ronghua's little day.

Chen's mother asked Rong Hua for peace, Jinxiu moved a small pestle and sat down with her, and Chen's mother smiled and said: "Soaking your feet in hot water is also the top one." ”

Rong Hua nodded and smiled, and glanced out the window again.

Chen's mother said: "The young lady is young and I don't know, it seems that the rain will not stop for a while, I remember that it was also like this when I was a child, I heard my parents say that the rain will come for several days, and then the rain really fell for seven or eight days in a row, but the embankment near Gyeonggi was fine at that time." ”

Chen's mother is unleashing her.

Although it rained heavily for several days, not all of them were the same. Otherwise, how can those officials in charge of defense sit so steadily, because there are precedents, but what has become of the in Gyeonggi over the years? They didn't want to think about it anymore, otherwise Xue Mingrui wouldn't have come back to say something like that.

It can only be seen what countermeasures the Shen family has.

After saying these words, Chen's mother said that the purpose of this trip was, "Grandma Eighth asked the imperial doctor to go back to see the eldest lady......"

Rong Hua nodded, it seems that the eldest lady already has some eyebrows about this matter.

Chen's mother said: "As soon as the imperial doctor left, the eldest lady let people go to the Yichenghou Mansion to see the eldest lady, and the Zhao family couldn't hide it and told the truth, the eldest lady was frightened by the eldest aunt's injury, and she couldn't get out of bed when she came and went. ”

Rong Hua heard that the disease of blood collapse was a woman's disease that would kill people. Chang Ningbo's big milk is not a postpartum blood collapse......

Rong Hua sank his face, "Are you ready?" ”

Chen's mother said, "Not yet." However, such news has made the house a mess, the old lady is better, the eldest lady fainted suddenly, and then it was Lang Zhong Shi who gasped for breath, "Speaking of this, Chen's mother had a sad expression on her face, "Or the old lady came to comfort the eldest lady, since the Zhao family said that there seems to be a blood collapse, it can be seen that this is not necessarily the case, otherwise such a dangerous disease, how can the Zhao family hide it and not tell it, or ask Lang Zhong to go to the Yicheng Marquis Mansion to see." ”

The old lady thought of a deeper layer.

Mother Chen cautiously glanced at Rong Hua's face, and the old lady said that since the eighth aunt and grandmother could let the imperial doctor come over, she would probably also help, so she asked her to come to the Xue Mansion to beg.

Chen's mother said again: "The old lady remembered that Lang Zhong was optimistic about the eldest lady's illness before, otherwise she would have asked Na Lang Zhong to see it again, who knew that Na Lang Zhong had never been easy to go to the doctor, so she sent me over to ask the eighth aunt and grandmother, if she could come forward to invite that Lang Zhong to the eldest lady." ”

I'm afraid it's not just as simple as asking her to invite Langzhong, but to treat Shuhua in the face of the Xue family.

Mother Chen said humbly: "It's best for Grandma Eighth to go back." ”

Rong Hua looked at Chen's mother, and it can be seen that the current Tao family must be in a mess as she said, not only because Shuhua's illness is difficult to treat, but also because the Tao family feels that they are going to lose the in-laws of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family has recently neither let Shuhua go back to her parents' home, nor let the Tao family visit Shuhua, this kind of performance is very different from when the two families were close before, and the eldest wife is sick in bed at this time, and she can't go to Zhao's house to visit Shuhua.

Who knows if the Zhao family took advantage of this to dare to hide Shuhua's illness like this.

Tao Zheng'an has brought many benefits to Zhao Xin, the Marquis of Yicheng, in this position in Zhejiang Shilang over the years, but the Zhao family has changed their faces in a blink of an eye, which is really chilling.

It is said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and the changes in officials and businessmen are even more intermittent.

Rong Hua said: "Now that the weather is like this, Mother Chen just said that the rain may not be light in the past few days, and grandmother and mother also know what errand Hou Ye has, how can I walk away at this moment." ”

Chen's mother nodded understandingly.

Rong Hua pondered for a moment, "I'll write a post and ask Mother Feng to follow you to invite Na Langzhong." ”

When Chen's mother heard this, her face suddenly became happy. Today, the eldest lady cried for a long time when she heard the news, thinking that the eldest lady was already like this, in case the eldest lady made any mistakes, it would be ......

Rong Hua looked at Mu Hibiscus, and Mu Hibiscus went down to call Feng's mother.

Rong Hua went into the small study to write a post and take it out, and Feng's mother was already waiting in the house. Rong Hua handed the post to Feng's mother, and told Chunyao to get the consultation fee.

Chen's mother hurriedly said: "The old lady has already ordered to get the consultation fee, so the eighth aunt and grandmother can rest assured."

Rong Hua nodded, and asked Feng's mother again, "Let's see if we can bring a car to pick up Lang Zhong." ”

When Mother Chen heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red, she didn't expect that Grandma Eighth would help like this.

Rong Hua looked at Chen's mother and said, "After all, it's a critical moment, so I won't say anything else." ”

Chen's mother stepped forward and saluted, and then left with Feng's mother.

She didn't know about Shuhua, but since she knew, she had to inform the Tao family, and the Tao family would naturally inquire about Shuhua's affairs. If there is a place for her help, she will not sit idly by, after all, it is human life, if it is really as she guessed, the Zhao family will end human life like this...... It's disgraceful, and it's no different from the Tao family's handling of the fifth lady back then.

Chen's mother left, and Ronghua asked Jinxiu and Mu Hibiscus to prepare rain gear to go to the old lady's house.

It was raining heavily, and the old lady didn't expect Rong Hua to come over, so she hurriedly beckoned to the maids, "Quickly take a towel to wipe the young lady, don't look at it as summer, you can't just get caught in the rain easily, you can't be careless when you're young." ”

Rong Hua smiled and said, "I tried to come from under the porch, and I didn't get anything drenched." ”

Seeing that the maids finished serving Rong Hua, the old lady patted her side, "Come and sit here." ”

Rong Hua smiled and walked over.

The weather was bad, the old lady's house was extremely quiet, Xueyu served tea, and Li's mother beckoned Jinxiu and Mu Hibiscus to the outside room, leaving Xiangyu alone to obey the orders outside.

Rong Hua said: "Does the old lady feel better?" ”

The old lady smiled slightly, "It's a lot better, and my chest is not so stuffy." ”

Rong Hua smiled: "That's good." Seeing that the old lady's face was really good, she told the Shen family about it, "Before leaving, Mrs. Shen also brought a lot of brocade to me, and said that the third master of the Shen family had long wanted to visit the Hou Ye." ”

The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "It is said that the Shen family is extremely difficult to get along with, what do you think of it this time?" ”

Rong Hua replied truthfully: "The daughters of the Shen family are all from scholarly families, even if they have some bookish faces, but they are excellent people and act rightly, it may be that the rules in the family are bigger, and most people outside only look at the surface, so there are such words." ”

The old lady kept nodding and smiling, "It's rare that you kid can see clearly." ”

There was no one else in the house, and Rong Hua couldn't help but accompany the old lady to talk a little more.

The old lady said: "It's strange cold outside, and the heavy rain is endless, I don't think you should go back first, it's cold on the road to the province, let people clean up the east side house in a while, and you go to rest." Dinner was served right here for me. ”

The old lady wouldn't leave her in the house casually, could it be that there would be some news from Xue Mingrui's side?

Rong Hua was thinking about it, and Mother Li entered the house and said, "Steward Yu has talked back." ”

Today the mission is done.

Someone urged me to do more.
