Chapter 120: The East Window Incident (II)

Xue Mingrui went back to the house to change his clothes and came to the old lady's house, and dinner officially began. (Niu Wen ~ Net)

The new chef really made a lot of novel dishes, and the old lady used a lot, and the faces of the people in the second room were very bright.

After the meal, the old lady left everyone to eat tea, with Xue Mingrui on the side, Xue Mingbai was not as enthusiastic as just now, until the people in each room left one after another, and the second room found an excuse to stay.

Rong Hua followed Xue Mingrui to Mrs. Xue's room to sit.

Mrs. Xue wore a fuchsia makeup gown, and sat with Xue Mingrui and talked.

Rong Hua listened quietly beside her, and found an opportunity to tell Mrs. Xue that she wanted to send the companion room brought from her mother's house to the Zhuangzi assigned to her.

Mrs. Xue frowned, "Those people are all used to by the old lady, so they will be replaced." ”

Rong Hua smiled, "It's not that I want to change people, it's just that I used to do ordinary errands." The words were just tactful, and Mrs. Xue should be able to understand what she meant. What are the two Zhuangzi, even if she calls someone to ask, it is superficial, and the real situation has to be figured out by people before talking to her.

Mrs. Xue nodded, "That's fine." "It's also in line with the rules.

Rong Hua smiled: "Then I'll arrange it." ”

Mrs. Xue drank some tea and talked to Xue Mingrui, "I heard that the old lady has the intention to let people clean up the courtyard of the accompanying capital," said and frowned, "They all said that it was good over there, but I didn't think it was too far away, so where can it be cool?" Besides, the capital is hot for so many days, and the patience will pass. ”

Rong Hua looked at Mrs. Xue, this was the second time, and Mrs. Xue had a look of boredom in her eyes when she mentioned the companion. Mrs. Xue is not an ordinary annoying companion. It seems that if Mrs. Xue proposes to accompany the capital, Mrs. Xue may not follow.

On the way back, when he walked to a secluded place, Xue Mingrui suddenly mentioned, "My father died in the capital." ”

Rong Hua was slightly surprised when she heard this, not because of anything else, but she didn't expect Xue Mingrui to mention the past to her in person at this time.

During the time she spent with Xue Mingrui, she could feel that Xue Mingrui was a person who didn't like to reveal anything to others and hid himself very deeply, whether it was the old lady or Mrs. Xue in this mansion, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart, so it was actually not easy to hear what he was saying in his heart by chance.

Mrs. Xue's few words touched Xue Mingrui and reminded Xue Mingrui of the past.

The two men went back to the house and changed their clothes, and told the maids to retreat.

Rong Hua bit his lip and asked, "Why didn't my father have it?" ”

Xue Mingrui said: "My father was not in good health at that time, and he was injured when he traveled a long way. ”

It's all for the sake of face.

Probably he wouldn't be willing to tell her the truth anyway, she married her with her mind, and he also had his plans to marry her, so this marriage is already the best to respect each other, and there will be no more expected results.

It's like she won't tell him about her past.

Rong Hua smiled slightly and stopped asking.

Xue Mingrui glanced at Rong Hua. She only comforted him a few words and stopped asking, from knowing her to the present, she has done everything just right, and has been more considerate and thoughtful to him, neither asking too much of him, nor asking him anything else.

It stands to reason that he has been able to achieve what he wants, can help him manage the inner house, and will not panic at critical moments...... It's just that sometimes I can't help but wonder what she's thinking in her heart.

Under the lamp, Rong Hua was doing needlework and occasionally thinking.

Xue Mingrui said lightly: "What are you thinking?" ”

Xue Mingrui suddenly asked, Rong Hua was slightly stunned, and immediately put away his thoughts. What to say? Honestly?

Rong Hua turned over, "It's nothing, today I went to Chang Ningbo's house and met Mrs. Cai, the Marquis of Yicheng, Mrs. Cai talked about going to the saint to accompany the capital to escape the summer, and asked me if the Hou Ye would accompany him." ”

I knew that she wasn't thinking about it just now.

Xue Mingrui said "um", and there was nothing else to say.

You know that's not what she's thinking, right? I don't know how such a calm atmosphere makes people a little uncomfortable.

She and Xue Mingrui had their own thoughts, and neither of them refused to let go of their hearts and say everything in their hearts.

Finally stayed up to sleep.

Xue Mingrui was reading outside the bed, and Rong Hua went to sleep inside.

After lying down for a while, Rong Hua couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

"Does Master Hou know about Man'er?"

Xue Mingrui's hand to flip through the book stopped, she turned over a few times, and finally couldn't help but speak, but she didn't expect her to ask this.

"Heard some."

"It was the old lady who suppressed this matter, in fact, I think ......" Rong Hua wanted to speak and stopped.

Xue Mingrui looked sideways, she was a little hesitant, and seemed to be not used to talking about this kind of thing.

The first time I tried to communicate my thoughts with others, it was really difficult, Rong Hua said: "The matter of accompanying the capital is also the old lady asked first...... the words are not finished.

"Do you think I should listen to my grandmother?" His face sank suddenly, and his gaze was a little sharp.

"That's not what I think......" she hastened to explain.

"Did your grandmother tell you what to say?"

Rong Hua was slightly startled, how could Xue Mingrui think like this, "No." ”

Xue Mingrui looked at the book in his hand again and stopped talking, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

Why did she mention the old lady, and his thoughts were what the old lady said to her? The second room's performance today seems to be that she doesn't want to accompany the capital, but the old lady means to take her family to accompany the capital to escape the summer, in fact, it is contrary to the idea of the second room, and it coincides with Xue Mingrui's idea, although it will not be completely consistent, at least in some aspects...... She always felt that she didn't have to listen to the old lady, and she didn't have to go so far from the old lady, otherwise the long house would not have come to this point at home.

She didn't want to persuade Xue Mingrui to listen to what the old lady said, she just wanted to say that the second room might stay in Kyoto, these plans are not until the end, others will not know, in case Xue Mingrui has other thoughts about this, it is better to start preparing first, after all, the Xue family is not separated, and everyone is still one.

It seems that her words are a bit redundant.

Xue Mingrui, who can know, will always know, and he doesn't need her to remind him.

Rong Hua turned around, she was careless for a while, forgetting his avoidance, if he hadn't asked first, she wouldn't have said it.

……

The next day, Rong Hua greeted the old lady.

At noon, the old lady called Rong Hua over for dinner.

The old lady said with a smile: "If you enter the palace, please fold it down, and the day after tomorrow, you will follow me to the palace to thank the queen mother and the imperial concubine." ”

I didn't expect that the invitation to enter the palace would be approved so quickly, and it stands to reason that the general edict is not allowed to enter the palace, unless there is a special edict in the palace.

The old lady said again: "Let people take out the colorful crown of the costume in advance." ”

Rong Hua nodded, listened to some instructions from the old lady, and returned to the house to rest after eating.

Rong Hua didn't sleep well last night, and fell asleep after lying down for a while.

In a daze, she felt someone calling her, Rong Hua wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were a little heavy, until someone pushed her shoulder, and she suddenly woke up.

Rong Hua saw Chunyao's anxious face, and Jinxiu also stood aside with a frown, so he stood up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chunyao said in a low voice: "Mother Chen is here, and I have something urgent to tell my wife." ”

Rong Hua said: "Go and please come in." ”

Chunyao hurriedly went down, and Jinxiu stepped forward to wait for Rong Hua to get up.

Rong Hua asked Jinxiu in a low voice, "What did Mother Chen say?" ”

Jinxiu said: "Don't worry, madam, just now Sister Chunyao and I went out, and Mother Chen said that something happened at home." ”

If something happens at home, what will happen? Could it be Gu Ying?

Even Gu Ying shouldn't be so fast.

Rong Hua got dressed and came out of the inner room, and Chen's mother was invited into the house.

Chen's mother stepped forward to salute Rong Hua, "Eighth aunt and grandmother," she said and looked around, and when she saw that there were no outsiders, she came to Rong Hua's side and said in a low voice: "Auntie, go back and take a look, something big happened at home." ”

Rong Hua said: "Mother Chen, don't worry, what's going on?" ”

Chen's mother said: "The people from Shuntianfu arrived at home early in the morning, asked about Miss Five, and sealed the courtyard where Miss Five used to live. ”

Rong Hua was stunned for a moment, she thought it was Gu Ying's business, but how could anyone ask about Miss Five.

Chen's mother was anxious on the side, and Rong Hua was still in a trance, but she didn't expect the previous things to be mentioned like this. The people of Shuntianfu asked, could it be that someone suspected her death? Who's going to expose it?

"I don't know the specific slaves and maids, but I hurriedly came out to find my aunts and grandmothers to go back, the eldest lady is now sick in bed and can't move, and the lord has to deal with those officials, so the aunts and grandmothers can have a discussion when they go back."

Rong Hua heard this, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and talk to my wife, and I'll go back with Mother Chen." ”

Chen's mother nodded.

Mu Hibiscus brought tea for Chen's mother to drink, and several girls were calm and didn't dare to speak.

Rong Hua told Mrs. Xue, and led Jinxiu and Chen's mother back to Tao Mansion in a carriage.

Entering the Weeping Flower Gate, Rui Qing was already waiting there, letting Jinxiu and Chen's mother go to rest and then followed Rong Hua into the old lady's room.

"Grandmother." Rong Hua went into the inner room to greet the old lady.

The old lady hurriedly asked her to get up, "I only came back yesterday, and I called you over again today, what did my mother-in-law say?" ”

Rong Hua said: "Madame is a good talker, but she just asked me to bring it to my grandmother and mother and didn't say anything else." ”

The old lady nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "Among these girls, I only think you are a proper one, so I let people talk to you first." ”

Rong Hua asked: "I heard something from Mother Chen, how could someone from Shuntian Mansion come to our house, and why did they ask the fifth sister?" ”

The old lady's eyes sank, "It has nothing to do with us, it's just that a peasant woman sued her daughter's in-laws, saying that her daughter's in-laws poisoned her own daughter." The yamen wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy, but a body was dug up in the mass grave, I don't know why, the people of Shuntianfu said that the remains were your fifth sister, so they came to the door. ”

It's happened, guess who debunked it.
