prosperous life

Dengzhou Xia Temple

The winking eyes closed shyly, and the red lips parted one by one.The wind rolls the grape belt, and the sun shines on the pomegranate skirt.Naturally, a beauty should be pleasing to the eye, but Rong Ningjin couldn't think that seeing Second Miss Yang in Dengzhou was a pleasing thing.

The cold and freezing rain in the spring has passed, and the imperial court has already issued a notice to deal with it, and exempted this year's grain tax. Although it cannot be compared with the lack of grain harvest, it also gave the people a little hope.

Now it's April, and Zhou Jing will take Brother Rong Ningjin back to Beijing in two days. Rong Ningjin followed Zhou He out today to buy some special products and go shopping. Who knew that he would meet such a novelty Condition.

Zhou He was very happy to take her cousin for a stroll. After all, she was the youngest in the family, and Rong Ningjin, who was younger than her, finally came. Zhou He showed her elder sister's style to full play.

Don't say that two months is nothing, even two hours, Zhou He still thinks that she is an older sister, and children should be obedient!

Rong Ningjin, who was obedient, bought some local dried fish and other foods in Dengzhou. The other things in Dengzhou are really nothing, but the fish, especially sea fish, are very good. You can’t take fresh ones. Dried fish is a good thing, and the more the better.

After ordering the two servants to bring the things back to the mansion, Rong Ningjin followed Zhou He and brought the rest of the maidservants to the altar of Xiashen on the way back to the Duke's mansion, saying that the altar was actually in a palace The one inside is different from the winter god altar that Rong Ningjin and the others have seen before.

Rong Ningjin and Zhou He had just entered the palace gate when they met Second Miss Yang who stood in the yard like a welcoming lady.Of course Rong Ningjin didn't know Second Miss Yang, and Second Miss Yang didn't know Rong Ningjin either.

But the advantage of traveling with someone is that the introduction is stress-free.

After Zhou He's introduction, Rong Ningjin understood that the two darker-skinned girls who were wearing the same style of lake green skirts on the opposite side belonged to Zhou He: Biao-cousin-sister, according to Zhou He, the taller one is called Su Meizhen The shorter Su Meizhu is the daughter of Mrs. Zhou's nephew, Su You.

That nephew Su You often came to the Duke's mansion to make connections when Mrs. Zhou was there, and wanted to marry the daughter of the Su family to the mansion, but Mrs. Zhou returned.

Now Zhou Jing doesn't give Su You face even more. Based on the unfriendly attitude of the Duke's Mansion, Su You basically doesn't dare to go to the Duke's Mansion.

The other girl is Yang Xixi, the second young lady in a pomegranate red skirt, who is also a distant cousin of the Su family sisters. Only the Yang family and the Su family know how far this distant family is.

Who is Miss Yang, Yang Xixi?It's Rong Ningjin's second aunt Yang's niece!So after Yang Xixi knew Rong Ningjin's identity, she immediately asked Rong Ningjin in a very delicate way: How does the Rong family, as the uncle's mansion, want to persecute the daughter of the Yang family...

Second Miss Yang asked a few words, and the passers-by also found their seats and prepared to watch the excitement. The posture made Rong Ningjin want to give them a bag of popcorn.

Rong Ningjin felt that none of the Yang family was normal, otherwise, how could they ask such a question in public, even if it wasn't Beijing, but it was true that the daughter of the Yang family who served Mr. Rong before was divorced.Regardless of the facts, on the Rong family tree, there is no successor name next to Mr. Rong, only the original wife, even the aunt of the Rong family is recorded under the name of Mr. Rong's aunt and treated as a concubine's daughter.

"Miss Yang, the woman who was divorced from the Yang family is your great-aunt, right? It is your filial piety to ask this question today, but the empress dowager sent that woman to make salt because of this, so you don't want to Presumably, and the Rong family has already separated, the decision of Uncle Deyang is not something we can intervene in." Rong Ningjin said lightly, turned sideways, smiled, and borrowed money in one go, and walked towards the inner hall with a calm expression.

When the onlookers heard that Rong Ningjin mentioned that the Empress Dowager didn't understand, they hurriedly dispersed, and decided in their hearts that they would never marry someone surnamed Yang in the future. Who knows if she might be a relative of Miss Yang? !By the way, the two girls next to them are from the Su family. The Su family should also draw a clear line. Thinking of this, they ran back quickly, as if they would become in-laws with these two families later.

Conclusion This Miss Yang Er is also very Er!

Zhou He admired his little cousin's performance very much, and followed Rong Ningjin with shining star eyes. If it was Zhou He, he would have already fought with Yang Xixi.

After listening to Rong Ningjin's words, Yang Xixi's face turned pale and then red. She didn't understand how Rong Ningjin could be so sophisticated at a young age.She originally planned to attract people to watch to highlight her softness and charm, but now there are many people, but seeing the people around pointing and listening to their discussions, Yang Xixi couldn't stay still anymore.

The Su family sisters originally wanted to use Xia Shendian to meet a capable young man to choose a future husband, but now they have no choice but to feel that Yang Xixi is really annoying. Originally, it was annoying enough for their father to let them accompany Yang Xixi, who knew The Yang family still has this one.

The three girls left the stage amidst all the eyes and words left by the crowd.

Rong Ningjin and Zhou He came to worship the God of Xia in the main hall of the God of Xia, and planned to stroll around and then return to the Duke's mansion. Unexpectedly, the steward in the hall said that there would be an event later, which was to distribute some souvenirs from the God of Xia.

Rong Ningjin is not very clear about the souvenirs, but Rong Ningjin knows that the God of Xia is in charge of war victories and wealth. Thinking that her brother Rong Ningrui is going to the border, it is still necessary to carry a souvenir that blesses the victory of the war. .

Souvenirs are naturally not so easy to get. After waiting in line for two hours, Rong Ningjin and Zhou He finally received a special sachet. The light yellow brocade cloth was embroidered with golden blessing words. Rong Ningjin After smelling it, it should contain some refreshing medicinal herbs.

Zhou He also asked for one for Zhou Jia, and he was very happy to see the sachet. Zhou Jia will go back to the border soon. As a younger sister, Zhou He still cares about his brother very much. As for his sister-in-law Jin, to be honest, Zhou He is not very Like her, Zhou Jia went to the border and guarded the border, and the Jin family had never followed her. Zhou He couldn't understand why the Jin family could let her brother go to the border by himself, especially when her mother proposed to arrange a concubine for her brother, the Jin family was very active. Shouldn't you hope that your husband will be the only one who treats you well?

Seeing that it was already noon, Rong Ningjin and the others had lunch at a small restaurant near Xiashen Temple. Rong Ningjin originally planned to go to the beach in the afternoon, but Zhou He shook his head when he heard that. The fishermen and fishing boats, there is nothing to see, if Rong Ningjin wants to see it, I will ask someone to clean it up tomorrow, this Dengzhou is where the Zhou family's family business is, and the Zhou family wants to see the scenery by the sea and clean up the place or something OK.

After listening to Zhou He's words, Rong Ningjin understood that there was no pollution in ancient times, but the seaside was like a field. Can you imagine going to the farmland and telling the farmers not to plow the field just to see the scenery?Just to watch the sea and ask people to rest for a day without fishing?Rong Ningjin also shook her head, forget it.

Wangchun Garden, General's Mansion, Beijing

Xiao Wen handed back the embroidery stretcher in her hand to the sixth girl, Xiao Shu, and said, "What a beautiful peony flower, my sister's craftsmanship has improved a lot."

Xiao Shu lowered her head and said, "Fourth elder sister praised me, my younger sister is good at embroidery, but the others are not good." After a pause, she said in a low voice, "A few days ago, my aunt made an appointment for the third elder sister's marriage. Third sister's cousin, Master Zhang Er." Xiao Shu's eyes flickered after she finished speaking.

Xiao Wen's eyes also flickered when she heard this. The daughter of the first wife of the head of General Zhen Guo's mansion actually married a bastard from the second house of the Shuxiangmen. What's going on? "No one in the mansion said anything? Where is grandma...?"

"Grandma doesn't want to, but she can't find a suitable one for the third sister... The fourth sister doesn't know that she is in the uncle's house, and the third sister doesn't know what to think, so she ran to meet people on the way back to the mansion of Young Master Zhang. First, Mrs. Zhang is the daughter of the third wife of the Rong family, and her father has just been promoted to the Minister of the Household Department, so there is no need for patience.

Mrs. Zhang was also in the carriage, and she said that the third daughter of the Xiao family wanted to see her aunt. Most people naturally thought that Mrs. Zhang was not in the carriage. The third sister married to the Zhang family. On the one hand, the second wife of the Zhang family will not come to Beijing, and the third sister will not have the opportunity to meet the young master Zhang. Zhang family affection. "Xiao Shu said in a low voice.

In fact, everyone around the corner of the street where the carriage stopped knew about Xiao Yuan's running away, and there were obviously two carriages in Zhang's family, Mrs. Zhang was in the first carriage, Rong Ningzhu and Zhang Xuyou were in the first carriage. On the second carriage, these two carriages were borrowed by Rong Ningzhu from her natal family, just to make her husband comfortable on the way back after the exam.

Rong Ningzhu was very angry when she saw Xiao Yuan, and Zhang also felt that her sister-in-law was really imperfect, and she just wanted to have such a husband and such a daughter.

In fact, Xiao Yuan really didn't have any special ideas at the beginning, but because of what she did at the banquet before, there are no wives or wives who are willing to beg her for the son at home, and even if there are, they are also dandies.

Mrs. Zhang also often punished her, telling her not to run away to Zhang's house if she didn't want to be a concubine, and said that she would find a wealthy and idle person for her in the future, so that she could live a good life in the future. After all, Mrs. Zhang would not be able to protect her forever as a mother .

Xiao Yuan felt that she didn't want to find someone like that. Her father Xiao Pinzhi was a wealthy idler, or a very rich idler, but what?Xiao Yuan will be well-mannered but not sincerely respected by others, especially his father Xiao Pinzhi's wives and concubines are in groups, which impresses Xiao Yuan even more.

Although Xiao Yuan has a bad temper and is a bit stupid, she is not really stupid, especially when she looks at Xiao Hai, the fourth young master of the third room. Xiao Yuan doesn't want to be with such a person for the rest of her life.

The capable and motivated man Xiao Yuan knew was Zhang Xuyou, so Xiao Yuan decided that even if she was a concubine, she wanted to be with her cousin.If Xiao Yuan followed the normal path, her identity would not allow her to be a concubine. Xiao Yuan's maid, Shao Yao, gave her such an idea.

In fact, it would be really good for Xiao Yuan to be Zhang Xuyou's concubine. Of course, this good is compared with Xiao Yuan's life in the future. Apart from Xiao Yuan herself, probably few people knew about it.

Sitting in the small sedan chair, Xiao Wen thought about Xiao Shu's words carefully. Xiao Shu had already lived in Wangchun Garden, and Miss Zhang, who lived there before, was given to Duke Cheng as a concubine a few days ago.Miss Cheng is even more amazing, she is planning to marry Uncle Qigong Shen Guofu as his successor, who doesn't know that Uncle Qigong is very rough, especially after he left three wives, no one will marry him anymore, And Uncle Qi Gong is a little older than Miss Cheng's father, Master Cheng San...

Xiao Wen shook her head and smiled wryly, why bother with others?

Mrs. Shi Tongbo is already planning to allocate Shen Shuo's house, and she will have to plan for meals in the future, so she has no time to think about other people...Of course there is a chance to reveal to Mrs. Shi Tongbo what the big house of the Xiao family ordered for relatives and girls People, in order to give the wives and wives of the families more talk, it is also possible to pass on some inside stories about the Xiao family. Xiao Wen is very happy to make Mr. Xiao a headache.
