Someone from the Tao family came early in the morning, and I heard that it was sent by Mrs. Tao, Chunyao greeted the weeping flower door and led the grandmother into Ronghua's house.

Rong Hua asked Mu Hibiscus to move the brocade pestle for Sun's mother and poured tea again.

The first time Mother Sun came to the Hou Mansion, she couldn't help but be a little restrained, and she had heard in Rui Qing's mouth how the eighth aunt and grandmother liked the old lady, so she was even more cautious, and she didn't dare to speak first when she sat there, just waiting for the eighth aunt and grandmother to ask her.

"How's Grandmother's illness?"

Mother Sun heard Rong Hua's voice and hurriedly replied: "It's not good, the imperial doctor still goes to the house on time, no matter how much medicine is used, the old lady is getting weaker and weaker, and now it is very inconvenient to walk, and she can't get out of the house." ”

Rong Hua's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Every time she talked about her grandmother's illness, her heart felt like a stone had been crushed.

Mother Sun also quietly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, "The old lady remembered yesterday that the second lady was going to get married, and she wanted to prepare a dowry for the second miss, so she moved all the things in the house out, but she didn't find a satisfactory one, and Rui Qing was scolded for it." ”

Rong Hua was slightly surprised.

Mother Sun said again: "The old lady only said that something was lost in the house. These things are all in Rui Qing's hands on weekdays, and Rui Qing can't take them out, so the old lady says that Rui Qing is not satisfied. In fact, we all know that most of the things in these old ladies' houses are borrowed. ”

Most of them are lent out. Rong Hua saw that there was a bit of deep meaning in Mother Sun's eyes, and he understood the meaning of these words. Over the years, the eldest lady has taken things from the old lady's house, and even if she borrows them, she has borrowed them but not returned them.

How could the old lady suddenly think of these things? And he wants to use these things to make a dowry for Yaohua.

Mother Sun said: "The old lady asked me to talk to the eighth aunt and grandmother, and the old lady asked the old lady to set up a banquet, and asked the Hou Ye and the eighth aunt to go back tomorrow." ”

Rong Hua looked at Mother Sun, "Have you invited anyone else?" ”

Mother Sun said: "The slave maid just came to invite the eighth aunt and grandmother. ”

That is, there are others.

Rong Hua nodded, "You go back to your grandmother, and I'll tell Hou Ye when Hou Ye comes back." ”

Mother Sun got up and said goodbye when she had nothing else to do.

Ronghua asked Mu Hibiscus to take two taels of silver as a reward, and Sun's mother was busy and thanked.

Rong Hua looked at Chunyao, and Chunyao stepped forward to lead Sun's mother out.

After a while, Chunyao came back from outside, and Rong Hua took fish food and was feeding the koi.

Chunyao said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the old lady took out the list registered in the house a few years ago and showed it to the eldest master, and said that it was only three or four years, and most of the things on it were gone, and the old lady asked the eldest lady to find out all the things." ”

"Where did the eldest master know about the affairs of the family, he only said to let the eldest lady come and talk back, the eldest lady was unable to move, so she sent Chen's mother to the old lady's room, and as a result, the old lady asked the grandmother in the house to beat Chen's mother, saying that Chen's mother didn't know the rules."

It's such a big deal.

Hearing that the eldest lady was complained, Chen's mother was beaten, and Mu Hibiscus smiled unnaturally.

Rong Hua frowned.

Chunyao continued: "The old lady lost her temper, and everyone in the family was cautious. Only the second miss and the old lady are still spoiled on the tip of her heart, she just sent the second miss back one moment, and the next moment she remembered the second miss and let people shout. I tossed a few times in the middle of the night, and I refused to listen to any persuasion from others. ”

The old lady feels sorry for Yaohua every day, and she wants to ask the maids around Yaohua to serve carefully, what is Yaohua's illness, the old lady has always been the old lady to see her, especially in winter, the old lady is not even allowed to say hello, only let Yaohua stay in the house. Now this distress has changed, and in the middle of the night, Yaohua ran back and forth a few times. With Yaohua's character, he is naturally happy to go, and his face is like this, and only Yaohua himself knows whether he can bear it or not.

Chun Yao finished speaking and looked at Rong Hua.

Rong Hua cleaned his hand and sat back on the kang again, looking at the blooming flowers in the dendrobium, "I'm worried about the old lady's illness." ”

Chunyao arrived at a cup of tea and put it in front of Rong Hua, "Last time, the imperial doctor didn't say that this year was irrelevant. ”

That's what the words say.

Chunyao comforted again: "The old lady's illness is not a day or two, the young lady has also done her best, and she has also taken a lot of secret medicines, maybe those medicines have not taken effect yet, and they may get better in a while." ”

Rong Hua knew that Chunyao was changing the law to explain her, so he nodded.

Chunyao said: "Mother Sun mentioned by the way, the second lady's wedding date is set, and the day is three days later," paused and continued, "Chang Ningbo's house is urgent, the prince's illness is not improving, Mr. Yin and Yang are invited, only say that the second lady's eight characters are very compatible with Chang Ningbo's son, as long as he marries the second miss, the prince will save the day." ”

For this marriage, Chang Ning Bo Shizi actually spent so much effort. Yaohua not only got married for herself, but on the surface, she married aggrievedly for Tao Zhengan.

I just don't know that there is a saying called: willing to be cheap.

Make a compromised appearance in front of everyone, and really marry into the house in the future, and ask others to look up to it?

Yaohua is smart by herself, and now it seems that the Tao family and the Ren family hold her in their hands, but in fact, this plan of Chang Ning Bo Shizi may not be to please the beauty.

In the old lady's house just now, Second Mrs. Xue also asked her, I heard that Chang Ning Boshizi was seriously ill again, and Yaohua was going to marry in the next few days.

Now the whole capital knows about it.

Chang Ningbo's family just spent a lot of money and married Chongxi's stepfamily, what does the Tao family have to do with their family, after all, Chongxi is the most important.

Rong Hua just picked up a book to read, and Feng Lichang's family came in from outside and said, "Young lady, there is your letter." ”

Jinxiu hurriedly took the letter and handed it to Rong Hua.

Rong Hua picked it up and saw that it was a letter from his second uncle Tao Zhengqian. Rong Hua opened the letter, in addition to greeting his family, he said his gratitude to Hou Ye, although Yin County in eastern Zhejiang is far away, it is a rare promotion, and it is a good thing that he can't ask for.

Rong Hua smiled slightly, in this way, the second uncle can go to Yin County, eastern Zhejiang to do the affairs of the county, and he can make sure that the old lady will be able to tomorrow.

Feng Lichang's family retreated, and met Gao Yue, the little guy next to Hou Ye, talking back and forth.

Gao Yue knelt down behind the screen and said, "Master Hou has something to do in the yali at night, come back later, don't wait for the young lady."

Rong Hua asked, "Which yamen is Hou Ye in now?" ”

Gao Yue said: "In the Criminal Department." ”

There are things in the criminal department, most of them are for Gu Ying's case. Could it be that Prince Zhuang made the first move?

Rong Hua asked, "Master Hou......"

Gao Yue said: "I don't know if it's a matter of urgency, the adults in the yali are not allowed to go back to the house, even if the Hou Ye ordered me to go home and report the news, there are also people next to me." ”

Do it so confidential.

Sure enough, Xue Mingrui expected that Prince Zhuang not only got the news so quickly, but also thought of countermeasures, but no one present was allowed to leave and report the news in advance.

Rong Hua nodded, "Does Master Hou have anything else to say?" ”

Gao Yue said: "No." ”

Since there is nothing else to say, it should be fine. Although Xue Mingrui said before that if there was something at home, let her go to Dingnan Bo Shizi Rongchuan.

Xue Mingrui is in Beijing, even if there is something, she can do it properly, and she doesn't need to worry about it.

……

Rong Hua leaned on the bedside to read a book, and just saw the end of a book, he heard the sound of the door opening.

Rong Hua was about to get up and go out, and Xue Mingrui had already strode in.

Rong Hua took the clothes and changed them for Xue Mingrui, and asked the maid to wait for them to be freshened up.

There was a faint aroma of wine on Xue Mingrui's body, Rong Hua raised his head to look, and his beautiful eyebrows were raised, with an unfathomable smile in it.

Rong Hua smiled slightly, "Do you want someone to bring the decanting stone?" ”

Xue Mingrui's lips curled, "It's just a few glasses of wine, and it's not enough to stump me." ”

Rong Hua remembered that when Xue Mingrui went to Tao's house to recognize his relatives, no one at the table could respect him.

Xue Mingrui pulled Rong Hua and hugged her in his arms with a bowed head.

Rong Hua only felt that the hand on her waist was hotter than ever.

Xue Mingrui smiled lightly in Rong Hua's ear, "Prince Zhuang is too anxious, but when he heard someone's secret report, he felt that something must be there, and the result was ...... To no avail. ”

No wonder Prince Zhuang is in a hurry, the evidence of those officials' crimes is indeed a good thing, Rong Hua was thinking about it, only to feel Xue Mingrui's slender fingers flicking around her waist, in addition to the aroma of grass that he smelled on his body on weekdays, there was also the aroma of wine he exhaled, she was almost a little drunk, and her cheeks were slightly hot.

"You don't seem to be worried at all."

Rong Hua tried not to pay attention to the fingers on his waist, just as he was drunk, "Since Hou Ye didn't let people say anything, it must have been arranged, what is there to worry about the concubine, as long as Hou Ye is here, there must be nothing outside." ”

There was a chuckle in his ear, like flowing spring water, very beautiful.

As soon as the hand on his waist was released, before Rong Hua could react, the whole person was hugged.

Rong Hua involuntarily clenched Xue Mingrui's arm.

Delicate kisses, gentle touches, but at the last moment she was inevitably a little scared.

He took her hand and put it on his cheek, touching it slowly, his eyes flashing with a bright light, "Trust me." Pull her hand tight, and slowly sink ***.

……

Rong Hua told Jinxiu to pack up the things she was going to bring, and when she came out of the old lady's house, she was going back to Tao's house.

Rong Hua came back from the old lady's house, and the third lady took the maid into her yard, and handed over the bag brocade longevity pattern box in her hand with a smile, "I heard that the old lady of the in-laws family is sick, and I have nothing to give, so I asked my younger brother to take some medicine from home, it is not uncommon, just a heart, you accept it and take me to say hello to the old lady of the in-laws." ”

It's hard to refuse.

Rong Hua accepted it with a smile, "Then thank you Third Aunt." ”

The third lady smiled: "Don't be so polite to me, I can't thank you for your help." ”

After sending off the third wife, Rong Hua took Chunyao into the carriage.

When the carriage arrived at Tao's house, Rong Hua came out of the carriage and saw Tao's third wife Liao waiting at the door.

The Liao family welcomed Rong Hua into the door and walked into the corridor, Liao's expression was complicated, and he whispered nervously: "There are people from the clan, the second old lady and the third old lady are all in the old lady's house." ”！ ~！
