Chapter 233: The sediment rises

Tao Zheng'an, the eldest lady and Yaohua talked for a while, and Yaohua went back to her room. ()

Tao Zhengan sat on the chair and thought carefully, and the eldest lady sobbed quietly on the bed.

Tao Zhengan frowned, "Okay, I haven't figured out what the hell is, what's the use of crying now?" Your daughters are more far-sighted than you. ”

The eldest lady took down her handkerchief and looked at Tao Zheng'an, "What does the master mean, is he going to let Yaohua marry?" ”

Tao Zhengan hesitated and didn't speak, and only said after a while: "There are only two paths, you can choose" to protect the official position or to protect the daughter, "When these daughters in the family get married, which one is not clear to you?" What did you say when the third sister and the fourth sister got married? ”

It's all for the Tao family.

The eldest lady opened her mouth and choked there.

Tao Zhengan stood in the room for a while, flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he clearly instructed his mother-in-law, "Go and call Yaqin to serve." ”

The eldest lady's hand held the edge of the bed and trembled uncontrollably, her eyes showed resentment, and she persevered for a long time, before it fell like a dead leaf, and Chen's mother saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.

is all the injustice of the previous life, and if you want to complain, you can only complain that her life is too thin, and she married such a heartless person.

Rong Hua looked at the letter brought back by Wang Bao in the room, obviously this letter was written by Wang Bao himself, and he picked up easy words to write, although the words were not written well, the meaning was clear.

Wang Bao opened a plot of land in Yin County, eastern Zhejiang, and hired local people to plant seeds.

Jinxiu came over with a cold plum soup and asked Rong Hua curiously, "Young lady, can this saline-alkali land really grow agricultural products?" ”

"The imperial court has been trying to find a way, many places are either nine disasters in ten years, or the land is not easy to grow crops, so there are disasters and famines every year, and the imperial court means to have a variety of food, so that the people will not at least not starve."

Jinxiu smiled: "This is a great thing. ”

Things are good things, as the saying goes, it is good to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water, and it is not easy to grow things in the saline-alkali barren land. Once something is planted, it is a big deal.

Jinxiu wanted to say something, but suppressed it and didn't say it.

When Rong Hua was resting just now, he vaguely heard Jinxiu and Mu Hibiscus talking, Mu Hibiscus was indignant, but Jinxiu said, "Let them talk about it, we can't stop them." ”

Rong Hua drank the plum soup and raised his head to look at Jinxiu, "What do people outside say?" ”

Jinxiu looked at the hibiscus, and the hibiscus stuck out its tongue.

Rong Hua said: "Tell me about it, if you don't say it now, it will reach my ears sooner or later." ”

Jinxiu then said: "Some mothers-in-law in the house chewed their tongues, saying that the young lady is a good settler, let the people on the mother's Zhuangzi go out and go around and send away the seeds given by the imperial court, and the land on the Zhuangzi only leaves a little seed of the imperial gift, but through this, a lot of people have been promoted. ”

She selected two girls from Zhuangzi to enter the house, and it became a lot at once...... Rong Hua smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Jinxiu and Hibiscus looked at each other.

Rong Hua then spoke, "As long as you are in charge of things, there will naturally be discussions, and there is nothing bad about me listening, but it just means that I am too shrewd and have not calculated the foolish accounts." There is no need to say anything to them when you meet them in the future, if you don't say it in front of your eyes, you will naturally say it behind your back, and those mothers-in-law are not chewing my tongue alone. ”

The fourth room received the old lady's ladder silver, and it was not always talked about, saying that the fourth master made a fortune by taking advantage of his illness. Some words can't be stopped.

Mu Hibiscus said: "That being said, it sounds like it is inevitable to cure qi. ”

Jinxiu also smiled with Rong Hua, counting the hibiscus, "You are the most unbearable." ”

As soon as Jinxiu's words fell, Chunyao came in with Feng Lichang's family.

The little maid moved the brocade and let Feng's mother sit and serve the freshly brewed tea, and then went down.

Without waiting for Rong Hua to ask, Feng's mother spoke: "Chang Ningbo's Mansion went to the house to propose a kiss. ”

Yaohua took this step so fast, people have to admire her thoughtfulness and can handle many things properly.

"It's just ......," Feng's mother's voice changed, "There is also news from Changningbo's Mansion, saying that Shizi is seriously ill and bedridden, and he went to several imperial doctors to check his pulse, and they all say that Shizi's illness is not easy to cure." ”

Chang Ning Bo Shizi is sick?

A good person suddenly fell ill at this time, Chang Ning Boshi did not follow the emperor in the Beijing camp this time, but stayed in Beijing to stand by, in addition to the emperor's pro-army, the emperor's most trusted should be the children selected from the nobles and clan relatives in the Beijing camp.

Rong Hua remembered the scene in the flower tree in Tsinghua Temple, Chang Ning Bo Shizi admired Yaohua so much, and now he finally got what he wanted...... But at this time...... What a coincidence.

Rong Hua raised his head and asked Feng Lichang's family, "Is there any other news at home?" ”

Feng Lichang's family said: "I don't know anything else, the mother in the yard of the eldest lady is good with me on weekdays, but she doesn't dare to say too much." ”

Yaohua should have reacted immediately when she heard the news.

Rong Hua nodded, and asked Feng Lichang's family to pay more attention to the situation on the Tao family's side, and Feng Lichang's family got up and retreated.

Rong Hua waited for Xue Mingrui to come back before going to the old lady's yard on weekdays, Xue Mingrui was a little late, and the mother in the old lady's yard came first and said: "There are a lot of fruits moved in outside, and the old lady said to let the young lady go over and taste it first." ”

Rong Hua smiled and said, "Mom will go first, and I'll come over after changing my clothes." ”

Rong Hua took Jinxiu to the old lady's house, and faintly heard the sound of talking in the courtyard, and the maid in the house stepped forward to raise the curtain and said, "The young lady is here." The voice stopped abruptly, Rong Hua raised his head and looked over, only to see the second wife's eyes flickering, the smile on her face was quite unnatural, Qian also looked at it cautiously and slightly bowed, there was a little soft sympathy in her big eyes, the second master sat upright, just glanced at Rong Hua with his eyes and moved away.

Only the old lady still smiled and said, "Come and try it, what year can you still eat such a fruit this year." You are all blessed with you. ”

Only then did the second wife smile and beckoned Rong Hua to sit down, "As the saying goes, the blessed do not fall into the unblessed land, and it is nothing if we are blessed, but the Xue family is a treasure land." ”

The old lady couldn't help but smile and looked down at the second wife, "That is, the treasure land of my family, so that you can raise your mouth." ”

The second lady laughed.

The old lady said, "Okay, okay, let's all taste it." ”

When Xue Mingrui came back, Rong Hua followed the Qian family to set up the chopsticks, everyone had dinner, and the second master left Xue Mingrui to talk in the old lady's room.

Rong Hua was going to Mrs. Xue's room, but was stopped by the second lady with a smile, "The old lady said, give the fruit to each room a point, you can help me, there are many that can't be eaten for a while, so you have to go to the cellar with ice." ”

It's not to keep her down to share the fruit, but to give her a chance to listen to what the second master is saying. Rong Hua smiled slightly.

After dividing the fruit, the second wife really asked Rong Hua to send a plate of washed apricots, "The old lady loves to eat, and after eating, she will fight her teeth." ”

Originally, it was natural to take it over, Rong Hua raised his eyes and looked at the second wife with some astonishment, and said in a low voice: "The second uncle is talking to the old lady and the Hou Ye inside, it's always bad for me to go over like this, right?" ”

didn't hide it, as if she knew what she meant, the second wife's eyes were full, and her hand holding the plate paused.

Rong Hua lowered his head and said in a soft voice: "Otherwise, when the second uncle and the Hou Ye come out, I will send them up." "The tone is soft and there is no room for focus.

The second wife looked at Rong Hua carefully, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It's that I didn't think about it." ”

If she sends things in like this, she will think that she is going to eavesdrop on Xue Chongyi's words, in case she is mentioning her, she will not advance or retreat from standing there.

When Xue Mingrui came out, Rong Hua brought a plate of golden apricots, and after a few words with the old lady, he went back to the courtyard with Xue Mingrui.

Jinxiu had already taken the tea tray to the study early, raised his head to see that the light shadow was shaking slightly, and was about to step forward to cut the lantern flower, Rong Hua reached out and took the scissors over, uncovered the gauze cover and cut the wick.

The maids in the room all retreated, Rong Hua picked up the ink strip to grind, and heard footsteps behind him, Xue Mingrui walked straight behind her, stretched out his hand and hugged her waist.

When I went to the old lady's house today, I saw the appearance of Xue Chongyi and the second wife, and I knew that what they said before must have something to do with her, and when I saw Xue Mingrui's deep eyes just now, I was even more sure.

"Is it Prince Zhuang who asked Hou Ye to avoid suspicion?"

Her voice was clear and methodical, "My father doesn't want to resign, otherwise he wouldn't marry Chang Ningbo's family, Master Hou should avoid suspicion, so it is logical, and others will not say anything." ”

Prince Zhuang asked Xue Mingrui to try the case together is nothing more than to make a gesture that he will not be arbitrary, and the next trial of Gu Ying will inevitably involve Tao Zhengan, and according to the law, Xue Mingrui should avoid relatives.

Xue Chongyi was afraid that she would insist on Xue Mingrui's help, so he would leave Xue Mingrui to speak.

Rational, composed, and generally knowledgeable, these few comments are not exaggerated on her, he once hoped to have such a wife by his side, but now he regrets it a little.

She should be weak and arrogant so that he can give more.

Xue Mingrui lowered his head, Rong Hua immediately felt an itch behind her ears, she shrugged her shoulders and avoided laughing, her hand just fell on the back of his hand, a knock sounded, Rong Hua was almost startled, and Chun Yao outside the door said: "Young lady, someone wants to see Master Hou." ”

Rong Hua turned his head to look at Xue Mingrui.

Xue Mingrui's slender eyes were slightly raised.

Rong Hua opened the door and asked Chunyao, "Did you say who it was?" ”

Chunyao shook his head and presented the post in his hand, and Xue Mingrui opened the post.

Not a word.

Xue Mingrui closed the prayer post and looked sideways at Rong Hua, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Xue Mingrui strode out of the door, Rong Hua sat on a chair and waited, only waiting for a cup of tea, Chun Yao hurriedly came back and reported: "Master Hou followed that person." ”
