109 Chapter 109
After the imperial examination, the Dayu court ushered in another change of blood, and the situation in Beijing became more and more confusing, and there were dark tides everywhere under the calm water.
At the end of April, Rong Tang returned to Ningxuan's mansion as usual.
Qian is about to be full-term, but he is always a little uneasy.
Rong Tang originally wanted to take the princess to Yong'an Lane to live temporarily, but first, there was no housewife in the palace for fear of criticism, and secondly, Wang Xiuyu was unwilling to leave.
There is no way, Rong Tang can only go back regularly, and ask Dr. Lin to diagnose her pulse every time, in case of an oversight, and ending up with the same ending as the previous two lives.
But I didn't know that the eldest princess moved back to the palace, and Rong Mingyu and the Qian family converged; Or Wang Xiuyu thought about it herself, and delegated the power to the second room, so as to work less. In short, she has a strong body, and there are almost nothing to worry about except for the stubborn diseases left by childbirth in her early years.
Rong Tang was about to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing these words, Wang Xiuyu bent her eyebrows, and said to the doctor: "Take the pulse for Tang'er." ”
As a result, the situation often evolves into the old doctor locking his brows while diagnosing his pulse, and together with the princess, he turns to telling Rong Tang, a real patient, to take care of his body and not to worry too much.
Su Huaijing is usually silent at this time, no matter how many glances Rong Tang gives him and begs him to relieve him, he should not see it, and he may even echo the doctor and ask him what he thinks of Rong Tang's physical condition, leaving Rong Xiaoshizi alone to suffer from the enemy.
Rong Tang regretted why he had to make this show, but the next time he returned home, he still had to ask the doctor to diagnose Wang Xiuyu's pulse.
No way. It is impossible for him to watch the original owner's mother repeat the mistakes of the past.
On this day, catching up with Su Huaijing to rest, Rong Tang took him back to the house to have lunch with the princess.
After that, he went back to Tanghua Courtyard to rest, and Su Huaijing went to the courtyard of the eldest princess.
Lazy in early summer, it is very suitable for taking a nap, and the birds and insects outside the courtyard are all calming music.
Rong Tang woke up from sleep, Su Huaijing hadn't come back yet, he relaxed in the courtyard, and slowly followed the path to the garden, wanting to breathe fresh air.
There is not much difference in age between the children of Ning Xuanwangfu's generation, except for the four-year-old little brother in the second room and the unborn child in the Qian family's womb, the others are all around twenty years old, all of them are brothers and sisters who have grown up since childhood.
But no one can say clearly how much family affection is there.
Rong Tang walked to the garden, saw two shadows standing by the pond, and was about to leave, but one of them turned around and called out in surprise: "Brother, are you back home?" ”
There was no way, Rong Tang could only walk over hard.
That's Rong Ning, the youngest sister of the long room, and Rong Ying, the eldest sister of the second room.
Several people said hello, and Rong Ning smiled and opened her mouth to bring up some topics to lead them to chat. She has always been lively, and she was pampered by Rong Mingyu and Rong Zheng, and she naturally has a naivety that does not understand the world.
Compared with her, Rong Ying is much more mature and stable.
Rong Tang looked at her, and always felt that this time they met, she added a little gentle sorrow to her face.
He was slightly distracted, thinking of a plot in the original book.
The queen's concubine died early, the middle palace had nothing to come out, the emperor had no son-in-law, and the harem faction was divided into three parts on the surface, forming a three-legged trend, which was closely related to the previous dynasty.
The Jiangnan Wang clan behind Queen Wang's back, behind Concubine Hui
's generalissimo Xia Jingyi, and Concubine Yi's back, Zhang Gelao.
The previous dynasties checked and balanced each other, and the harem went its own way.
Concubine Hui has three princes and six princes, Concubine Yi is the biological mother of the second prince, and the fourth princess is like a concubine and a maidservant beside her.
Although Fang Guiren is friendly with the queen, and the seven princes born by him also have a faint tendency to succeed to the queen's knees and become the concubines of the middle palace, but firstly, the position of the concubine is respected, and the succession is not so simple, and secondly, Fang Guiren is the mother in the end, but he is actually unwilling to pass on his children to others.
Strictly speaking, the three-legged situation of the harem is more like a bubble on the surface of the lake, which will break up with a slight poke.
This illusion was maintained until Concubine Yi became pregnant again and was about to give birth to a dragon fetus, which was completely on the verge of shattering.
Rong Mingyu expressed her sincerity to his wife and came up with a way to send her niece into the palace as a concubine to assist the queen and queen.
But as soon as things were not arranged, Wu Kangbo's rebellion was exposed, Concubine Yi was demoted, Zhang Ge was an old beggar, the second prince party couldn't get up at all, and the fourth prince died quickly, Emperor Renshou gave the newly born eighth prince to the queen, and the queen had a nominal son-in-law, which saved Rong Ying from the fate of entering the palace.
Rong Ying is the same age as Rong Tang, because the month is two months older, Rong Tang wants to call her cousin.
Dayu women can choose a son-in-law to marry at fifteen, and powerful families do not want their daughters to marry prematurely, and it is common to stay at home for a few more years, but generally not more than twenty.
The second room has not seen her husband for her eldest daughter so far, and Rong Mingyu's abacus has already been told to them.
Because this didn't happen in the previous two lives, Rong Tang didn't think too much about it, but in this life, the butterfly flew too fast and far, so that even he didn't know what it would turn into in the end.
The person who is destined to die is saved, so will the instinctively fresh flower fall into the wither?
Rong Tang frowned slightly, and glanced at Rong Ying quietly.
The maid in the other corner of the garden trotted over, saying that the second son had returned to the house and brought a lot of outside things to the little lady, and called Rong Ning to see it.
The little girl was overjoyed, turned around and was about to go to find her own brother, when she just turned a corner, turned around and asked her cousin, "Is my sister going with me?" ”
Rong Ying bent her eyes and smiled: "I'll talk to Ah Tang for a while." ”
Rong Ning didn't think about it, and went back to his yard lively.
There were a few early lotus flowers in the pond, and oily green dragonflies settled everywhere.
Rong Ning looked at the lake and didn't know what she was thinking, Rong Tang didn't bother, and waited patiently for her words until Rong Ying asked: "Which one do you think is deeper, blood kinship or clan genealogy?" ”
Rong Tang was stunned, and looked at the cousin of the original owner very incomprehensibly, the latter eyebrows were pink, staring at the rippling lake with a pair of autumn-like cut pupils, and the corners of his lips smiled slightly, both gentle and atmospheric.
Rong Tang asked, "Why do you want to make a comparison?" ”
A trace of confusion floated on Rong Ying's face, it was clearly a question she asked herself, but it was she who felt puzzled: "I don't know, I'm just a little curious." ”
Rong Tang asked her tentatively: "But what is there at home that worries you?" ”
Rong Ying froze slightly, then shook her head with a smile: "How can there be something that can make me annoyed?" ”
She is the titular eldest lady of Ning Xuan Wangfu, her father is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and her uncle is Ning
King Xuan,
&n
bsp; Grandmother is the eldest princess of Duanyi, who is noble,
She was born honorable.
Rong Tang was stunned, because of the arrogance and dignity on her face when she said this, and even more self-confidence and publicity that she didn't even notice. That is in addition to the gentle atmosphere, the temperament that belongs to 'Rong Ying' itself.
He remembered that at the flower folding party last year, the two young ladies of the Rong family were clearly also at the scene where He Shangshu's daughter witnessed Yuerong's corpse, but from the beginning to the end, almost no one mentioned Rong Ning and Rong Ying at all, and everyone only knew that Miss He was frightened.
Rong Zheng said, "Uncle is cautious, even with the second cousin and sister, all the careful."
But behind such caution is extraordinary intelligence.
Rong Ying is probably much smarter than her younger brothers.
Because of this, Rong Tang's mentality of escapism trembled slightly at this moment, he hesitated for two seconds, and did not skip this topic according to Rong Ying's words, but asked her: "Why is my cousin still unmarried?" ”
This question is very abrupt, in the feudal era when there was a great defense of men and women, even cousins and sisters would not express their doubts so bluntly, it was because Rong Ying's face stiffened in an instant, and she looked at Rong Tang in surprise.
The latter didn't dodge at all, met her eyes, and asked softly: "Is it that there is no suitable person for you, or is it unwilling to marry?" ”
It was impossible for him to directly ask Rong Ying if he was waiting to enter the palace, but this also made the meaning obvious, if Rong Ying was really a smart person, he should also understand what he was asking.
There was silence all around, the summer lotus was blown by the wind, and the turquoise frogs jumped flexibly on the lotus leaves, and each jump would drive countless water droplets to fall into the lake, smashing a ripple.
Rong Ying looked at Rong Tang in a daze for a long time, and her eyes suddenly turned a light red.
But that bit of red was fleeting, Rong Ying had already turned her head, looking at the lake and not knowing where it was, or maybe it was just the traces of the sun shining on the water waves, she said softly: "Even if it is my grandmother's identity and talent, how can I make the decision about marriage?" ”
Rong Tang was silent, making sure that she already knew Rong Mingyu's plan.
"If your cousin is unwilling, no one can persecute you." He said.
Rong Ying smiled lightly: "Ah Tang is easy to say, you are the prince of the world, and the princess spoils you like that, you have your own choice not to be persecuted." ”
Rong Tang said: "The favor and preferential treatment I have received are all because of poor health and my life is short, my mother knows that instead of putting pressure on me, it is better to let me live leisurely for the past few years, so that everyone has the 'do as you want' way of life." ”
Rong Ying was stunned and looked back at him.
Ordinary people say that they are going to die, and many are unwilling to give up, but in Rong Tang, she can't see any unwillingness, just saying an established fact.
I can't change my destiny, so I just accept it.
But what he said next was completely different from this remark: "But my cousin is different, you are the female champion at this flower folding party, if you have a son you like, you can wear red makeup and green clothes and marry a good family; If not, do you have to obey your parents' orders and stay in chaos for decades? ”
Rong Ying's face changed drastically and she looked at him in disbelief.
Rong Tang smiled slightly, relieved a little seriousness and seriousness, and said softly: "My cousin's poems are very well written, even if they are named by other people's names, they are still admirable. ”
Compared with the previous year, there will be more folding flowers in the ten years of Qingzheng, and it is more in Beijing
Talented and beautiful.
On the occasion of the imperial examination, Yu Jing stayed at students from all over the border, and happened to come to this flowering scene.
Rong Tang didn't have much interest, and Su Huaijing didn't have a holiday, so they didn't go at all.
Young Master Ke, who is still long-sleeved and good at dancing, came back from Songyuan, shook his fan, and said with a smile: "There is a female champion." ”
Few people know that Kui Shou's poem was written by Rong Ying, but how could Ke Hongxue be an ordinary person?
Yung Tong read the poem of Wing Chun at that time, and only felt that there was pride hidden in tenderness, which was a rare talent.
Now that he said the same thing to Rong Ying, the latter was stunned for a long time, and his eyes flashed with emotion.
Rong Tang didn't urge, but he was a little tired after standing for a long time, and began to quietly change his center of gravity to relieve fatigue.
Until Rong Ying settled down and asked him, "If I don't want to...... What to do? ”
Rong Tang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandmother believes in Buddhism, and it's almost the first day of the new year, my cousin might as well ask my grandmother if she wants to go to Tuolan Temple to ask for a pillar of incense, and eat a few days to clear her soul." At that time, if the Buddha gave any instructions, he would not dare to disobey. ”
He said it very plainly, and he didn't calculate the guilt and panic of the eldest princess at all, Rong Ying looked at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
She said: "Since I was a child, I have said that you are smart, but it is a pity that you have suffered from dementia for many years, and now it is really admirable." With all your talk and scheming, I began to look forward to a panacea when there would be a panacea to remove those stubborn diseases in your body. ”
Rong Tang nodded slightly: "I borrowed my cousin's auspicious words." ”
Rong Ying's gaze fell into the distance, and then quickly retracted it, and bowed to Rong Tang Yingying: "Thank you, brother, I have the answer to that question just now." ”
Rong Tang stood still, waiting for the next sentence, but there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he crashed into Su Huaijing's chest.
Rong Ying lowered her head and smiled, turned around and left, but didn't give Rong Tang an answer.
Rong Tang was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand, and subconsciously wanted to chase after Rong Ying, but Su Huaijing took advantage of the situation to hold his wrist and asked with a smile: "What did you say to your cousin?" ”
Rong Tang was helpless, Rong Ying had already gone far away, there was no way, he could only say to Su Huaijing: "My cousin asked me which is more important, blood kinship or clan genealogy, but I don't know the answer, she just said that she came up with it, I was about to ask, you came." ”
"......" Su Huaijing was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "Tang Tang wants to blame me again." ”
"I didn't." Rong Tang replied in a muffled voice, stomped his feet lightly, relieved the numbness of standing for a long time, and wanted to go back with Su Huaijing.
But Su Huaijing glanced down coldly, let go of his hand, and took a step forward and squatted on the ground.
Rong Tang was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”
The villain turned around: "Come up." ”
Rong Tang was stunned for a second, and immediately coaxed: "It's not very painful." ”
Su Huaijing: "Then I'll take you back?" ”
Rong Tang: "......" What kind of choice is this!
He looked left and right, but in his own house, he was like a thief, and he still lay on Su Huaijing's back.
And after his legs were in the air, he couldn't help but quietly his feet.
Well, it does hurt a little, and it's really comfortable for someone to carry home on their backs!!
