prosperous life

Minister of Rites Rong Fu

Rong Ningjin is picking out the clothes and jewelry to wear tomorrow. Tomorrow, the Fourth Miss Xiao Wen will marry Shen Shuo, the third concubine of the Shitong House. I can only go around for a while, after all, they are relatives of the Queen Mother's natal family.

But the etiquette doesn't need to be too generous, after all, he is a bastard, so he still has to give Mrs. Shitong some face.

Rong Ningjin chose a set of lavender plain brocade robes, and asked Bai Zhi to put away the rest. Just as she was about to choose jewelry, a maid said that Young Master Sui had come.

As soon as Rong Ningjin entered the hall door, Ade rushed over and said loudly, "Brother Jin, you are too mean, and you didn't ask me to go to Lai'an on the Thousand Yuan Festival!" He deliberately gave Rong Ningjin a blank look.

"Bai Shu, go get some snacks." Rong Ningjin knew her maid quite well, and after listening to A De's words, Bai Shu might be talking about the rules, so she should dismiss her.

Rong Ningjin watched Bai Shu leave the hall, then turned to Ade and said, "How are you going? Are you going to spend the night with my cousin?"

When Ade heard Rong Ningjin speak so formally, he immediately smiled with two dimples on his face, "Why can't it work? Didn't we hang out together before? In fact, you and Cheng Yu don't want to take me, right?" said She also shook Rong Ningjin's arm.

"Ade, you want to play with me and Brother Yu in the future. Of course we have nothing to say, but you can't do the same as before. I have my own brother with me, and Brother Yu with his husband. What about you? If you You still hang out with us, what will happen to your reputation? Master Sui and Mrs. Sui should visit me for comment?" Rong Ningjin wanted to make it clear.

"How could it be! My mother said yesterday that you and Brother Rong are not coming to my house to play, and I want you to go!" Ade thinks that it should be that Cheng Song always asks Brother Jin to go out alone so that he has no time to play with him. of.

"Ade, you used to be accompanied by Sui Wei, and everyone was with the family, so it's normal to hang out together. But now your new brother is less than a month old, are you planning to take him with you?" Do you want to play together? It's just that the twins are not strict, and they don't hang out with outside men all day long." After talking about Rong Ningjin, Bai Shu, who asked her to get some snacks, came back, and Rong Ningjin directly ordered her to go to her room to get a small snack. box.

"I understand what Brother Jin said, but we are so familiar with each other, why pay so much attention to it?" Ade said as he pinched a piece of snack.

Looking at Ade who was eating snacks with his mouth puffed out, Rong Ningjin was shaken a bit, but he immediately realized that it is better to explain some things clearly.

After a while, Bai Shu came back, handed a small box to Rong Ningjin, and then backed out.

Rong Ningjin handed it to Ade directly without opening the small box, "Open it and have a look."

"This... Isn't this a gift from me to Brother Rong? Why is it here with Brother Jin?" Ade opened the small box and took a look.

"Ade, how do you know this is from you? Maybe it was bought from outside? Or did you recognize it at a glance because it was embroidered by you?" Rong Ningjin said and put the small box on the table, Most of the small boxes are purses.

"Brother Jin, what are you doing? Brother Rong was the one who took care of me. My mother said she would send some small things to Brother Rong. You also know that my family has no money..." Ade said with a blushing smile.

"Ade, no matter if it's a woman or a twin, Dasheng's embroidery will not be given away except by relatives. Those who sell embroidery for a living need to collect money for their work, and there are marks on the embroidery. Actually, you also know Mrs. Sui's idea, otherwise, why would you keep saying that your mother ordered it, so the teacher is famous, right?

I didn't want to say it at first, but I kept it all away anyway, and no one else knew about it, but you and Mrs. Sui couldn't do it with my brother, so what's the point of going to my cousin?Ade, I have always known that you are smart, and I also know Mrs. Sui's calculating temperament, but I still think you can be a friend.

You saw that my brother never used the things you sent, and his attitude towards you has not changed, so you think of my cousin, right?That day at the hunting ground you asked me because of the veiled hat, but you were actually asking about my cousin's family background, right?Or do you want to say that is also what Mrs. Sui meant? "Rong Ningjin felt that Ade's mother was scheming and calculating, but in the end it was Ade.

"Brother Jin, it's true that I know what my mother is thinking, and I followed suit, but I want to find a good family, can't I? Since you are my friend, why don't I be your sister-in-law?" Ade He felt aggrieved, and at first he was unwilling to do so, but later his mother told him a lot, especially when he saw that brother Jin was served everywhere, he felt that what his mother said was right.

"Of course it's not good. Why do you rely on it? Family background? Moral character? Talent? Even if my parents don't care about these things, it won't work if you and Mrs. Sui make calculations together like this. Did Mrs. Sui say that you are from the clan, and from the royal blood?" , very expensive?" Rong Ningjin saw Ade sitting there shaking and shaking, and knew that she had guessed right.

"You are a clan, but your clan is not as good as the natal family of Princess De and Princess An. You are not a royal family. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mrs. Sui and your mother if she dares to speak in front of outsiders. Go? To put it bluntly, you can choose the Rong family and the Zhou family even if you marry the princess. Mrs. Sui's attention is probably to let you be a concubine?" Rong Ningjin stopped and took a sip of tea.

"I... my mother can't..." Ade wanted to say that his mother didn't mean that, but what Rong Ningjin said was correct, it's just that he was blinded before, if his status was really noble, he wouldn't envy Rong Ningjin of life.

"I won't say much, you can take the things in this small box back, and go back and tell Mrs Sui: My brother is already engaged, he is the third son of Marquis Wu'an, and he will get married next year, and he won't take concubines. At my cousin's place, my cousin also said that the Zhou family won't let people who are single-minded and calculating come in. I won't keep you any longer." Rong Ningjin got up immediately after saying that.

In Rong Ningjin's view, there is no difference between friends who want to be concubines for their brothers and cousins, and those modern people who seduce other people's husbands under the guise of girlfriends. It's just that one uses you and wants you to get along well in the future, and the other When you're done using it, kick it away.

"Are you bored and perfunctory because Sui Li is gone? I know you look down on me, but why are you all closer to Sui Li than to me?" Ade stared at him and asked.

"Sui Wei is like an elder brother taking care of my younger brother. He never has any other calculations. Even just now, I regarded you as a friend, but you are still obsessed with it. Sui Wei left your house, even if you count it, you should be more sad, but If you ask Sui Wei like that, it's better to leave." Rong Ningjin thought that maybe according to what her cousin Zhou Bei said, she should directly find someone to make trouble at Sui's house?Perhaps at that time, Ade might feel that it was good for him to reason with him and cherish his reputation.

Seeing that the master had returned to the room, Bai Shu went into the hall and said to Ade, "Master Sui, my servant will send you out of the house." After saying that, he smiled slightly.

"The golden silk osmanthus cake made by brother Jin looks good and is delicious, and it tastes mellow and not too sweet. Today, your aunt is eating it." Cheng Hanqian simply brought a plate of "I'll give you Uncle take it, you two talk." Then he went out.

"Why is this time coming?" Zhou Bei took out the remaining plate of pastries from the food box and put them on the table, then put away the embroidered cloth on the couch.

"It's nothing, I just settled the matter of the Sui family, come and tell my cousin, Ade probably won't come here in the future, as long as Mrs. Sui is not too stupid, she won't be doing anything..." Rong Ningjin said lightly road.

"Are you feeling sorry for that child?" Zhou Bei ate a snack, "Everyone has their own fate, the environment, family background, and relatives can almost affect everything about a person. That Ade, who grew up with such a mother, actually His future has already been decided, he was not raised as a twin, but a calculating woman."

"Cousin don't need to comfort me, I understand." Rong Ningjin thinks that Ade is a lovely, pitiful and hateful person. Maybe he has a lot of things to do, but when he can choose, he doesn't choose but thinks himself. It's just that they It's not a road trip.

"It's best for you to understand. I told Dad to make him get engaged to Zhou Fan quickly. It was kind of interesting to fall in love with the Wang family before, but his young master did something like that again, so let's forget it. Rather. Cousin Rui is going to get married after the Chinese New Year, so if your cousin's daughter-in-law becomes a Jinshi next year, you will have a Jinshi sister-in-law." Zhou Bei laughed.

"Brother Xian is really good at studying. He is the same age as my brother. I don't know what he likes about my brother. I have to take the exam in two years. I just ask him to teach me. I can be regarded as a person who can give full play to his talents." Ha ha!" Rong Ningjin still has a good impression of her future sister-in-law Feng Xian.
