The old lady is reborn

Ever since Rong Ruzhi heard about the Niujiagou tragedy and the subsequent discussions on the streets about the extermination of Yan Zhiming's family, he has been like a frightened bird, always feeling that there are Sixth King's spies among the servants in his yard.

They were watching me, monitoring my every move, and if I did anything out of line, I would be killed. Perhaps it was not much better than being torn apart by five horses.

If he obediently accepted this kind of surveillance, maybe he could live longer. Thinking this way, he rarely went out.

Following his mother Song Ying's instructions, Rong Huaiyuan still visited his father Rong Ruzhi once a month.

He would bring something every time. Song Ying thought: Huaiyuan has been promoted again, and these face-saving things must be done.

Moreover, she was not sure what her youngest son, who had no memory of his past life, thought of his father.

If he didn't have the same deep hatred as she did, then perhaps he could only understand divorce, and a certain amount of resentment and revenge?

If Song Ying wanted everyone there to die and wanted to kill his father, what would he think? Would he feel that he had done something wrong and turn to sympathize with Rong Ruozhi, who now looked pitiful?

Song Ying planned to hide some things from her youngest son in advance.

This time, Rong Huaiyuan visited Rong Ruzhi and came home to find his mother, saying that his father wanted him to succeed the throne of the crown prince.

Song Ying asked: "What do you think?"

Rong Huaiyuan said: "My son wants my eldest brother to be the heir. My son has an official position and has married and has children.

My eldest brother is thirty-five years old and has suffered so much for so many years. With the status of a prince, whether it is marrying a wife or living a normal life, it will be much better to have a hereditary title. "

Song Ying asked: "What did your father say?"

Rong Huaiyuan said: "Father doesn't want me to give in again. He said it was his fault back then, and it would have been better if he hadn't exchanged the two children.

Now my father wants my eldest brother to get more land and shops. He means that the prosperity of Nan'an Marquis's Mansion depends on me."

Song Ying sneered in her heart. She was quite good at currying favor in front of her youngest son. She regretted admitting her mistakes but also had high hopes for him.

If Rong Huaishan and Tian Anran had not been defeated step by step, and the Six Kings had not seen him as useless, would he have "changed for the better"?

In his previous life, when he and Tian Anran and her son teamed up with the Six Kings and were doing well, how did he treat Huaiyuan?

After Tian Anran died and Rong Huaishan was deposed, he regretted changing his son, said he was sorry to Huai'an, and said he wanted to make Huaiyuan the crown prince.

Song Ying suppressed his emotions and said, "I'll ask your elder brother." The position of the crown prince should have belonged to Huai'an.

Rong Huaiyuan added: "There is another strange thing. When the servant went to make tea, my father went to the table next to me and wrote three words for me while talking to me.

It seemed as if he still wanted to write, but suddenly stopped.

The servant came up with tea and stood by to serve, and my father did not mention these three words again.

Song Ying asked: "What word?"

Rong Huaiyuan took out the three characters "Niujiagou" from his sleeve. Song Ying didn't understand what it meant, so after thinking for a while, she said, "Maybe he will write a few more words for you when we go there next month."

Rong Huaiyuan asked: "Then do you want to go again soon?"

Song Ying thought for a moment and said, "No need, just follow the previous schedule, once a month."

Song Ying went to Huai'an's yard, first looked at his leg injury, and then told him about the prince's matter, omitting the part about his brother giving way to him.

Rong Huaian was silent for a while, then said to Song Ying, "My son doesn't want him to be his heir.

When the son was in Niujiagou, he thought that his parents must have no idea that he was suffering so much.

Mother, please don't be angry. I thought that my parents might have passed away, or that I was abducted by someone and made a slave...

The son never thought that he was thrown out and replaced by his biological father...

He didn't think of coming to see me.

My son doesn't want this prince.

Mother, don't worry, your son can live well without this prince, and he can find a job."

Song Ying lowered his head and said after a long while: "There's no need to rush to find a job. Just study hard and take good care of your legs."

Originally I wanted to say that the land, shops and money in the mansion should be divided equally between you two brothers, and you can live a good life without having to look for a job.

I was also afraid that my words would ruin my child's study and progress. Finally, I said, "If you don't want it, then we don't want it!"

After listening to his mother's story, Rong Huaiyuan sighed and said, "My eldest brother feels so miserable... He doesn't want it, and I don't want it either. Next time you go, I will refuse."

Song Ying wondered, aren't there Rong Yunyue and Rong Yunfeng over there?

How could we let this title fall to those two people in the end?

In the previous life, which of these two people didn’t draw their swords and fight?

So she said, "Next time you go, you take it first, and I will think about this matter again."

The Duke of Anguo and his wife sent someone to deliver the invitation for the Lotus Appreciation Banquet. The Duke of Anguo I saw in my previous life was a fence-sitter, who once gave the list of military uniforms to Tian Anran at the instruction of the Sixth Prince.

Although Lady Tie Feiyan, wife of Duke Anguo, had some dealings with Song Ying, she was naturally not as close to him as Lady Yu Min, wife of the Minister of the Dali Temple.

Duke Anguo also sent invitations to Rong Huaian and Rong Huaiyuan.

Rong Huaiyuan is now on the rise, and it is not surprising that His Majesty values ​​him so much that he sent a message to Huaiyuan.

But Huai'an had almost no dealings with the official circles, so what was the point of inviting Huai'an? Was it because he was Song Ying's eldest son and Huaiyuan's elder brother, and was invited out of courtesy?

Although I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to take care of Huai'an because men and women would sit at separate tables, I still thought of Huaiyuan.

Children always have to go out and see the world.

Speaking of which, Huai'an looks very similar to Rong Ruozhi, and Rong Ruozhi was also quite good-looking when he was young, and he was also tall. The two brothers Rong Huai'an and Rong Huaiyuan were well-dressed and both had handsome looks.

Song Ying brought Mingdai and Rong Yunmiao with her. No matter what Huaiyuan's future career would be like, Mingdai had to get to know these ladies.

Five people and two carriages went to the Anguo Mansion for a banquet.

The banquet was held in Fenghe Garden of the Anguo Mansion. Although men and women were seated separately, they were actually only separated by a flower path. After taking a seat, one could see the seat opposite.

Song Ying brought Mingdai and Yunmiao to meet the ladies. There were also little girls of the same age as Yunmiao, and they soon started playing together.

Song Ying looked across and saw Huaiyuan leading Huai'an there, greeting everyone one by one. Huai'an was quite polite, so he felt relieved.

When most of the guests had arrived, today's host, Duke Anguo and his wife, stood up and spoke at their seats on both sides.

It's just that I see the lotus flowers in my garden are still there, and I think that Kyoto hasn't been lively for a long time. I miss everyone very much. Today, new and old friends are gathering together, and I hope everyone is happy.

They also said that they are old and like to have fun, so it’s fine as long as everyone is relaxed.

On the flower path in the middle, the maids took turns serving tea and snacks to the banquet tables on both sides.

There was suddenly a commotion among the female members of the family. Princess Anyang had arrived, and everyone stood up to greet her.

Anyang quickly gestured for everyone to take a seat.

The men's group had already started the game. Someone suggested writing poems on a certain topic. Jing Zhong, the son of General Jing He, said, "Please forgive me. If you dare to suggest writing poems again, I will suggest archery."

Duke Anguo said: "Everyone has his own strengths, and you will naturally have the opportunity to show your talents later.

Since it is a game, let’s make it appealing to both the elite and the masses, and something that everyone can play.”

Someone asked, "What is that? Don't be so cliché."

Duke Anguo had someone push up a large screen-like object, and when the red cloth was pulled down, it turned out to be a maze. Because it was so huge, there were many branching roads, loops, and dead ends.

Duke Anguo said: "Who wants to try it? There are prizes to be won."

Someone else asked, "You're keeping us in suspense again. What's the prize?"

Duke Anguo had someone carry up a large bow and place it on the shelf next to it.

Jing Zhong and other generals' eyes lit up, and they left their seats to look at the bow, and then they were eager to try it out.

Lin Yindi, the editor of the Imperial Academy, said, "Duke, you are biased. This prize is obviously prepared for those who practice martial arts."

Duke Anguo said: "This is the beauty of it. If someone wins a prize and it's not what he wants, he can give it to someone else. It's like making friends!"

I will prepare some prizes later, including hairpins, rings and bracelets. Whoever gets them can give them to the guests at the ladies' table!"

Jing Zhong, the first one who was "marching" on the maze with a bamboo stick, has been defeated and has reached a dead end.

After hearing this, he said to Lin Yindi: "If you help me win this bow, I will get what you want later. I will help you!"
