Out of Jinghe Hall, the mother and son of the Rong family didn't say a word, Rong Yu wanted to speak, but his mother was in a hurry, and what she wanted to say was forced back.

The Rong family's carriage was parked outside the mansion, and the Fang family stepped on the horse and entered the carriage, Rong Yu hesitated, but heard a sharp sound from the compartment.

- "You haven't gotten into the carriage yet, do you want to wait for me to leave and find the girl?!" ”

The female envoy waiting by the carriage was frightened, since they entered the Rongzheng Earl's Palace, they had never seen the Fang clan speak so loudly, no matter how they stayed up, they had always been humble and gentle.

Rong Yu's heart trembled, and he stepped on the horse and entered the carriage.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw Fang's dark face, Rong Yu sat down cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Mother, my marriage with Lan Shu is still up to me to tell my father." ”

Fang Shi was unmoved, and said in a flat tone: "No need, my son is not properly restrained, and it is difficult to escape the blame of being a mother." ”

Rong Yu lowered his head in shame. has remorse in his heart, but he is for Jiang Lanshu, he knew that this girl was so difficult to get rid of, he shouldn't have hooked up and provoked a lot of trouble.

"Mother told you a long time ago not to get close to Shen Jingyan, but you just didn't listen, there are many sons in the private school, who is not as good as Shen Jingyan, and now even the Rong family is embarrassed to follow you, and even your mother is ridiculed by Mrs. Shen."

Fang Shi said a few words, plucked his eyes, exhaled, and said lightly after calming down: "After you go back, whether you are punished by your father to kneel in the ancestral hall or punished by your grandmother is not your mother's business, and your mother will not intercede for you again." ”

"Yes, my son knows his mistake, even if he is punished to kneel in the ancestral hall when he goes back, he will admit it to being grounded." Although Rong Yu responded, there was a hint of disbelief in his words.

"Over the years, you have known a lot of mistakes, repeated mistakes, you didn't listen to what your mother said, too, your mother can't control you, you deserve to be humiliated, but today's mother doesn't want to have a second time, otherwise you will go back to Huainan for me, go to your grandfather and grandmother, with them, mother can set off any waves when you see your little splash, anyway, you are in Huainan is to accept more than a dozen concubines, cause a lot of trouble, and you can't bother the capital."

As soon as he heard that he was going to Huainan, Rong Yu's whole body stiffened.

When he was a child, he stayed in Huainan for a while, and now more than ten years have passed, and he still remembers the rules in his grandfather's and grandmother's house, from eating tea with chopsticks to visiting and welcoming guests.

Rong Yu shook his body, "Mother, if I don't go to Huainan, you will punish me for everything else." ”

"You still know that you're afraid," Fang Shi glanced at him, "But I don't look at that girl to be fooled, you marry her into the door, and I don't have to worry about it in the future." ”

Rong Yu was speechless.

In the main house of Jinghetang, as soon as the mother and son of the Rong family left on the front foot, the old lady Shen asked Fuyu to help Jiang Lanshu back to the bedroom to rest, out of sight and out of mind, it was too much at a glance.

Ye Lingwu walked to the table, held the purple sand pottery plate containing the osmanthus cake to Mrs. Shen steadily, and said: "Old lady, often this osmanthus cake is newly learned by Ling Wu, and this osmanthus is also picked by Ling Wu in the early morning when she goes to Haitang Zhai." ”

Old Mrs. Shen glanced at the pastry and said lightly: "Let's put it first, I don't have much appetite now." ”

Ye Lingwu nodded and put the osmanthus cake on the table.

At this moment, Mama Xuan on the side said: "Old lady, if you say these words to Mrs. Fang today, will it hurt the peace, Sister Lan Shu is going to marry and live under Mrs. Fang." ”

Mrs. Shen said: "What if you hurt your harmony, the Rong family has no way to teach their son, Rong Yu has a bad character, and the Fang family has an iron tongue but does not use it for his godson, and it is a loss to many noble girls in the capital to listen to his private school in the Rong family." In the future, private schools can be exempted, and the Hou Mansion of Ningbei is not unable to afford to invite a master. ”

Mama Rong said: "What does the old lady mean, in the future, a few girls don't have to go to the Rong family to listen to the school, and only invite the master to come in the Hou Mansion?" ”

Old Lady Shen pondered the Buddha beads, and said slowly: "This matter will be discussed by Chongwen and them when they come back, didn't I let you go to explore the situation in the palace, how is the Queen Mother now, and her body is improving?" ”

Mama Xuan said: "The queen mother's phoenix body has been sick from time to time since the year before last, and she has survived it before, but this will be ......, the old slave heard Xiao'e in the palace say that the queen mother has been lying on the bed every day since the beginning of the year, and the ground has never been down, so it is really not good to think about it." ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned when he heard this, raised his eyes to look at Old Lady Shen's expression, and saw that there was no surprise on her face, and guessed: "Old lady, you spoke so bluntly in front of Lady Fang before, are you worried that if there is a national funeral, Sister Lan Shu's marriage will wait at least half a year?" "It's going to be a real ugly thing then.

Mrs. Shen pinched her eyebrows irritably, and said: "You are smart, I didn't know that the relationship between the two families would be hurt today, but the attitude of the Rong family is unknown, I won't say it straighter, this family affair can't be dragged until the child falls to the ground, the Rong family and his wife have no way to teach their children, you also saw the reaction of the Fang family, hum, it's sad that she boasted that she was born in a famous family in Huainan." ”

Mama Xuan suddenly sighed thoughtfully: "The old lady is worried about Miss Lan Shu, she has a good life after going to Rong's house, or it is a chicken feather, and it is none of your business." ”

A few days passed, and the Rong family finally posted a post to invite Mrs. Shen and Jiang Lanshu to go to Jiyou Lake outside the city to enjoy the coolness.

Ji You Lake is far away from the capital, and when Ye Ling comes back from the fog, except for the flower fields, all around are bare.

Today is very different, the trees are full of trees, and only the distance from the carriage to the tent is unbearable.

Ye Lingwu exhaled a breath of hot air, pressed his cheek with a handkerchief, and asked Rong Xiu to see if her makeup was messed up, Rong Xiu smiled and whispered: "The girl just lightly smeared a layer of balm, not even the powder, but some sweat is not tight." ”

When we arrived at the lakeside tent, a long table was set up, with fresh fruit and refreshments, flanked by rattan soft chairs, and the cool breeze blowing from the lake forced the heat back.

Stepping in, I saw an old lady with goosebumps and crane hair and a slightly plump body, and under the side was Rong Zheng, the head of the Rong family, Fang Shi, and then Rong Yu with a depressed face.

Looking at his face, he knew that he had not eaten the reprimands of the elders in the family in the past few days.

Old Lady Rong sat at the top of the middle, and stood up with a smile to greet the guests: "My old sister, you are here, sit down quickly, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

As she spoke, she went to pull Old Lady Shen's wrist.

At the same time, Rong Zhengze, Fang's, and Rong Yu stood up and bowed their heads to greet them, and the group behind Old Lady Shen also bowed their heads in return.

Mrs. Shen doesn't like to be close to others, nor does she like others to be close to her, so she withdrew her hand without a trace and replied: "I haven't seen you for a long time, look at Old Lady Rong's spirit." ”

Old Lady Rong paused, and said without changing her face: "Where, the old sister is in good health, some time ago I heard that you went to commit a crime, and you also met Ayami's attack, you are in good spirits." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Rong invited everyone to sit down, and skillfully called the maid to serve a warm soup to relieve the heat.
