237. Outbreak
On the tenth day of the fifth month, it is the day when the men of Rongfu take a break and the girls take a break.
After having breakfast, Rong Shoufu called the eldest master to go to the study in the front yard and talked about the new news from the palace.
I heard that the emperor intends to draft this year.
Over the years, although the draft is mainly for the emperor to choose concubines, it will also give marriages to the children of various princes or clans.
However, after Rong Shoufu got the news, he didn't think about choosing the women in the mansion to the prince or the children of the clan.
"The emperor is now in the prime of life, and he has never made a prince. For the sake of safety, it's better not to take sides for now. ”
Rong Shoufu groaned while talking to the eldest master.
But the eldest man had different ideas, so the two of them discussed.
While the two men were talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Old lady, big lord, big lady said that there is something that you need to go to Hongping Courtyard with the big master to decide."
The person who knocked on the door was the old lady's personal attendant, and at this time, he cautiously said.
Rong Shoufu frowned, but he still gave face to his eldest daughter-in-law in front of his son.
He took the eldest master back to Hongheiyuan. As soon as I entered the door of the main room of Hongheiyuan, I saw the figure of a woman kneeling on the ground.
Rong Shoufu couldn't help frowning again-—— how could it be his turn to deal with this matter in the inner courtyard?
As soon as she saw the eldest lady and Rong Qiaoyan, she was so shocked by Rong Qiaoyan's kneeling that she didn't come back to her senses, and when she saw the old lady coming in, she hurriedly stood up and greeted the old lady to sit in the first place.
The eldest lady stood at the bottom, looking cramped and uneasy.
"You should tell the old lady, the lady and the old man carefully. This is a matter involving Mrs. Tai's mother's family and the man in the front yard, and I can't do it. The eldest lady said with an embarrassed and cramped look.
The eldest lady was originally in the meditation courtyard, listening to the people of the Dingguo Mansion and telling Bao'er about it.
Who knows, these six girls came alone and said that they had something to say to her alone.
After she sent her subordinates away, leaving only her personal grandmother, the six girls knelt down and said something, which surprised and made her angry and angry.
But when she listened to it completely, her expression became subtle.
Since ancient times, the issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a difficult problem.
And between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Eldest Lady, they are not so motherly and filial piety on the face, but fight in secret.
Therefore, as soon as she heard that the matter was related to Mrs. Tai's mother's family, she immediately wanted to show Mrs. Tai's face.
So, the eldest lady not only brought Rong Qiaoyan to Hongping Courtyard, but also asked people to call the old lady and the eldest man who were discussing business in the front yard.
At this moment, seeing Mrs. Tai's confused look, thinking of Mrs. Tai's faceless appearance for a while, the eldest lady wanted to snicker.
"Yes." Rong Qiaoyan said in a low voice.
Of course, Rong Qiaoyan knew that it would develop like this in the end.
In the previous life, when the matter between Rong Qiaopan and Si Pianzhi broke out, it was specially troubled by the eldest lady in front of the eldest lady, the old lady and the eldest master.
However, in the previous life, the situation of Rong Qiaopan and Si Pianzhi was much more serious than what she has to say now.
Rong Qiaopan and Si Pianzhi are really privately taught, and they have a private engagement.
At that time, it was already early autumn, and the news that the government had decided that Rong Qiaopan was going to participate in the draft slowly spread.
Then, Rong Qiaopan and Si Pianzhi must have been ruined, and they actually made this matter public directly in front of the eldest lady.
They only thought that the two of them had already fallen in love, and Rong Shoufu took a fancy to Si Pianzhi's literary talents, and Xu Shi would be able to fulfill them.
However, they didn't think that in Rong Shoufu's view, the interests of the Rong Mansion were above all else.
However, Rong Qiaoyan never figured it out at that time.
At the beginning, Rong Qiaopan was obviously dismissive of Si Pianzhi, but how could he fall in love with him later?
Or after getting acquainted with the sixth sister-in-law, Rong Qiaoyan told the sixth sister-in-law about it before she figured it out, maybe this is the fierce girl who is afraid of pestering her, right?
Besides, Rong Qiaopan is not a martyr.
However, at this time, Rong Qiaoyan had no time to think about Rong Qiaopan and Si Pianzhi's previous life.
She made up her mind and told her what she had done in front of others.
It's just that she went to the library to read a book, and saw that Si Pianzhi was being bullied, so she saved her.
Later, Si Pianzhi sent some flowers and pastries to repay his kindness.
She only met Si Pianzhi later, and sternly refused these gifts, who would have thought that Si Pianzhi would actually want to ask to marry her?
Knowing her identity, she naturally refused strictly. However, I didn't expect Si Pianzhi to still entangle her.
"The granddaughter didn't dare to cause trouble to her grandparents and her parents. Therefore, even if Si Pianzhi asked someone to send me something or a letter, I never listened or replied. However, just now when his granddaughter went to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, Si Pianzhi suddenly appeared and said to his granddaughter that he was going to come to tell his grandmother that he and his granddaughter had made a private agreement for life. The granddaughter was scared. The granddaughter is the daughter of the Rong family who has been a scholar for a hundred years, and has been taught by her father and mother since she was a child, and then taught by a female teacher, how can she dare to teach each other privately? This Si Pianzhi actually wants to frame his granddaughter, and the granddaughter would rather die than seek innocence. ”
Rong Qiaoyan cried as she spoke. I said it a second time, but the more I said it, the more proficient I became.
The old lady and lady in the first place, as well as the eldest lord and lady in the lower place, heard this, and their faces were very gloomy.
Especially Mrs. Tai, she was embarrassed and annoyed.
No matter what you say, this Si Pianzhi is a relative of her family.
There was silence in the room.
After a long time, Rong Shoufu opened his mouth on the top, "What you say, do you dare to confront Si Pianzhi?" ”
"The granddaughter naturally dares." Rong Qiaoyan raised her face full of tears and said stubbornly.
Rong Qiaoyan is not afraid of confrontation.
She saved Si Pianzhi in front of her brothers in the family, and it was in full view;
Si Pianzhi sent flowers, that is also the person who dotted the backyard flower room, and as soon as he inquired, he could find out that Si Pianzhi had indeed sent flowers;
As for Si Pianzhi's pastries, although he entrusted Zhou Lei, he also passed them to Mama Yang. But Si Pianzhi bought pastries, but he could also find them;
As for the matter of Si Pianzhi sending someone to send a message to express his feelings, after Zhou Lei's incident, Rong Qiaoyan kept an eye on it and kept it, but she never replied;
The little guy who helped Si Pianzhi spread the word, but this is a personal witness. However, this does not frame her;
As for the meeting this morning, although she made the core penetrate the wind and spread it to the ears of Si Pianzhi.
However, today is a day off, and there is nothing special about going to the back garden. As for what will be in the minds of those who hear it, who knows?
In fact, Si Pianzhi wanted to see her for a long time, but of course she wouldn't see her. But Si Pianzhi always asked the little maid to pass the word to Mama Yang.
Mama Yang hated Si Pianzhi to the core, but her own young lady asked her not to show it, so she could only endure it, but she also avoided it.
However, Si Pianzhi didn't seem to know that Mama Yang already knew that it was Zhou Lei who was harmed by him, and he actually asked the little girl to find Mama Yang many times.
Rong Qiaoyan asked Mama Yang to leave a letter from Si Pianzhi, but she never went to see it.
After Mama Yang left the house, Si Pianzhi couldn't get any news of her.
On the twenty-eighth day, when she asked Mama Yang to go to the academy to say goodbye to Si Pianzhi, she deliberately said that Rong Qiaoyan was originally Ding Shizi's concubine, and now, I am afraid that she is going to become a stepmother, which will trigger Si Pianzhi's heart.
On the thirtieth day of Humu, Rong Qiaoyan was afraid that Mama Yang and they would not go far and would be caught up by the Rong Mansion, so she did not cause this incident.
Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and Mama Yang and they have already gone far away, so she has a move.
Today, even if Si Pianzhi doesn't go to her in the morning, she will take the initiative to find an opportunity to see Si Pianzhi.
She must be a real company, and she will persuade her to agree to the words of mutual affection.
As long as they meet, the content of the conversation is up to her.
Sure enough, Si Pianzhi came according to her plan.
It's not in vain that she asked Shixin to go to the big kitchen and other places many times yesterday, saying that she went to the back garden this morning.
What she gambled on was that Si Pianzhi wanted to see her so much, and he would definitely not miss this opportunity.
