He shook his head, "You know that the conflict between the Rong family and Prince Yu is not Songyin's fault. My father is the emperor's master. I am in charge of the imperial army for the emperor. I am both civil and military. How many times have I forced Gui Laoliu to do it?" I suppressed the play and made him unable to move. Is this hatred only for Songyin? He just used her excuses to create trouble. Songyin is so innocent! I think differently from you. Not only do I not complain I blame her, but I'm grateful to her. Interview: . She didn't alienate me to protect herself. Is she stupid? She has a clear mind. If she dislikes poverty and loves wealth, Gui Laoliu has shown her kindness so many times, It was eight hundred years ago that she became her direct descendant Fujin, and yet she has waited until now! She wholeheartedly wants to be with me, and I feel the same way about her. We used to fight, but now that we are in love, I will treat her twice as much. Okay. Didn¡¯t you prepare a betrothal gift for me a long time ago? It¡¯s better to choose a day than to hit it, so let¡¯s make the betrothal gift today!¡±
The old lady must not agree at this moment. Mrs. Rong who came later became angry when she heard his nonsense, "You are fooled by lard. Will your family harm you? You said You have to be eloquent, let me ask you, why did you give someone a reason to arrest you for nothing? What is the current situation? The more you do at this time, the more you have to avoid taboos. It would be better for you to hit someone on the head with a gun. Why does it look like you have a stiff neck? ?My ex-child heard that the Sixth Prince spent the night at her place, and I felt dissatisfied. A good girl has ruined her reputation. How could our innocent family let someone of unclear ethnicity enter the door? son?"
Rong Shi's face darkened, "I know everything about that night. I'm in the palace, and you can't rely on her."
Mrs. Rong said: "Why should I rely on her? I don't like to hear what you say. Why don't I want to see you doing well? If you don't sincerely want her to be your wife, why should you prepare such things? You know What's the use of her innocence? We Han people are not like the Manchus. We can't mess with the regulations, and we can't marry people with unclear foundation. I'm not conservative. I have to follow the old principles. We shouldn't be entangled with the Three Flags. Marriage, but have you seen that we despise her? I don't intend to pursue the matter of my ex. As long as she is peaceful, the past is past. After all, such a promising girl is hard to find. Now, why do you want to marry her? She got into trouble, and you fought with the Sixth Prince and broke his arm. Are you suffering from a demonic disease? Is it still possible to get it if you keep going like this? If I let you go, what will you do? If you don't obey me, just wait for me. Stay here until I come back to take care of you!"
He fell into the crowd of women and was so confused that he said depressedly: "You still treat me as a sucking baby? If I get married early, the children will be all over the floor. You are restrained. What should I do? Do you have to 'force' me to 'elope' with her?"
The old lady was so angry that she couldn't hold her breath, "The more you act like this, the harder it will be for Songyin to marry you. It's terrible. If you marry a daughter-in-law and leave me alone, you won't be obedient now."
"That's how the old lady is. When she's reasonable, she's great, but when she's unreasonable, she's like gold and jade. If she doesn't want to see her, she doesn't want to see her.
He lowered his hands and sighed, "What do you want? How can I do what you want?"
Mrs. Rong pointed at Yi Zhuang with one finger, "Let's take your sister into the house first. I've seen it really well these days. She is a beautiful and smart child, and she is honest. Both the old lady and I like her."
Yi Zhuang on the other side was frightened and immediately blushed. When they first defected to the Rong family, they had a difficult family background. In fact, their original intention was to get married to the Rong family. At that time, her mother had her thoughts in her hometown in Fangshan. Although she was reluctant, she did not object in the end. The Rong family is a high-ranking official. The eldest son died, and the remaining one became an eyeball. In the future, such a large portion of the family property will belong to him. I am afraid of being poor. Who can know the embarrassment of eating the grain of Mao in the Yin year? Therefore, as long as there is a chance to get promoted, she will admit it even if the second master Rong is a pockmarked man. Unexpectedly, when she entered the Rong family, it was completely different. The Rong family was a high-class family, and it was hard to find Rong's real appearance and character. Even if he opened and shut up and said "go to hell", she would not She felt that his temperament was that of a man, and she admired him wholeheartedly. It's a pity that he has a girl from the Tong family. She thought that she would have to settle for the next best thing and fulfill her wish. Now that their marriage seems to have failed, if they work harder, they might be able to achieve great success.
She has to make concessions, and she can't mess up her position when she's happy. Unexpectedly, Rong Shi glanced at her and said: "My sister is a good girl, and I can't bear to delay her. The situation at home is not as good as it used to be. Has my wife made an explanation to her? The Rong family is in the sky at this moment, maybe in the blink of an eye. She fell into the eighteenth level of hell and told her to follow me and be shaken? She already has no foundation, and to make matters worse, I am not such a person. My sister deserves better. As for Songyin, she has too many sins or is it because of her She is capable. She works as an errand in the palace and lives her life with her head on her waist. She meets many people and has many things to do. She should not be compared with the ladies in the boudoir. She wants to inherit the family business and works for men. You can find a job in Sijiucheng. Is there any girl who is as good as her? Isn¡¯t this what the old lady and the madam were attracted to in the first place?"
Yi Zhuang was discouraged. He said it very tactfully, but his attitude was clear. If he didn't want her, he still wanted Mr. Tong. Everything is good about her, he is considerate to her, and he makes more mistakes because he does more. In his eyes, Tong Songyin is unique in Beijing. To him, everyone else is just tofu on a hemp string.
Yi Zhuang's eyes were red, but she never complained. Instead, she spoke for Song Yin, "Miss Tong is a woman who is not inferior to men. She is a rare girl. No wonder the second brother likes her. When I look at her, I can't help but feel hot in my eyes." How many people in the world of makeup and powder can have such great ambition and courage like her? Maybe no one wants to learn from her, but it is a pity that not everyone has such a good fortune. I was originally a guest, and the old lady and my wife love me. I know that, But saying this to my second brother now makes me feel ashamed. At least I can save some face for Yi Zhuang, otherwise I won¡¯t be able to stay in the house. "
She behaves well and talks politely to please her, which naturally makes the old lady and his wife pity her even more. Rong Shi was not like that. Songyin had mentioned it to him several times. The petty boy was very taboo about any cousins ??touching her, but now it became a prophecy. Are they going to give him this cousin who appears out of nowhere and use him as a wastebasket? He is a loyal person who loves someone for the rest of his life. In addition, Yi Zhuang said that "not everyone has such a good fortune", which is a disguised expression that she is not necessarily inferior to her, and Song Yin just takes advantage of her birthplace. He didn't have the nerve to tell her. She thought the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were just to keep accounts and distribute monthly money to the palace people? Is it something that anyone can do?
He breathed out slowly, "I'll send someone to send some money to my sister later, or go back to Fangshan or dispose of a property elsewhere. Don't stay at Rong's house. Rong's family is in turmoil now. If something goes wrong, It¡¯s going to hurt my sister and her whole family.¡±
The three people present were stunned. He was disrespecting his face. Yizhuang wiped her tears and turned away. Only then did the old lady react. She scolded her and rushed out to save Yizhuang.
Mrs. Rong did not leave, however. She stood facing her son Chu Hehan, and said in a depressed tone for a long time: "The old lady and I have also decided on her background. She is just a side house after entering the 'door'. You can find what you like in the future." Yes, I don¡¯t believe that in the forty-nine cities, I can¡¯t find anyone as good as Song Yin.¡±
He knew that talking more would be useless, so he turned away and said: "I have never thought about three wives and four concubines. I only want Songyin. I ask my mother to find a way to convince the old lady for her son that he wants to marry her."
Mrs. Rong was extremely disappointed, "It's because you haven't repented when a disaster is approaching. I should really go cry to Brother Xu right now. If he were here, he could at least persuade you and stop you from being so confused!"
He was so angry that he left Nai Nai and his mother. He stood in a daze for a while, putting down the chisel in his hand, feeling depressed and sad. After changing into his official uniform and going on duty, he stayed at home and disturbed him one by one.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs was very close to the Donghua Gate. He walked through the corridor and entered the back gate and asked where the young manager was. Su La said: "Chang'chun/Gong Cheng's son has caught the wind and cold. The Imperial Physician at Huamen didn't think so, so he asked for an order to notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked him to go to the imperial medicine room to report the medical correction. The young steward has to go and keep an eye on it. You go up to the ear room and sit for a while, and you will come back after talking."
He nodded blankly, but did not enter the ear room. He walked slowly to the door along the wall. Looking to the north, there is a vast expanse of red. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the wind in the corridor is strong, making people feel cold on their temples. She must have also heard about him and Prince Yu Buku, so I don't know what her attitude is. He became a little worried, what if she blamed him? He felt that he might have really done something wrong, but once he stepped out, he couldn't take it back, so he had no choice but to go down.
When Songyin came back, the sun had already set, the sky was rust red, and wisps of floating clouds were floating like white film condensing on a wound.
Su La stepped forward to plant the rice seedlings, "Master Rong came to see you first. Have you met me?"
She shook her head, "I haven't seen you. When did you come?"
"It's been more than an hour. Maybe I just left when you didn't come back."
She stood still, choked on the cold wind, and her eyes filled with tears. He raised his hand and wiped it, his cheeks felt cold. Slowly go back to the check-in room and change clothes. You don't have to stay up tonight. It's time to leave the palace at this time.
When she left the Donghua Gate, it was getting dark. There were two lanterns twinkling in the distance on the other side of the Tongzi River. She didn't pay attention. They were probably the bearers who were picking her up from duty! When she came over the bridge, the two lamps came forward to greet her, and the one who carried the lamp spoke to her. "
She frowned, "Who are you?"
The long-dressed man pointed to the south. There was a sedan chair parked under the Dragon Claw locust tree. She looked carefully and saw that the swallows were flying under the eaves of the sedan chair. It should be used by the female family members.
She walked over and was about to ask when the sedan curtain opened and Mrs. Rong's face was revealed behind the curtain. She was startled, "Why is Madam here?"
Mrs. Rong smiled warmly, "You are busy on duty. You won't be free before winter, and there are no people in the mansion."Conveniently, I have a few words to say to you, so I have no choice but to come here and wait for you. "
Songyin knew in her heart that it was probably not a good thing. If it was to propose marriage, there would be no reason to say that it would be inconvenient to go to Tong's house. In fact, she was also thinking repeatedly today about where to go next. The old lady at home is cold-hearted, and the Rong family is slacking off again. This time she must have been cut off.
Sure enough, Mrs. Rong said kindly: "Today, the news about Rong Shi and Prince Buku of Yu came home, which shocked the whole family. The old lady is old and cannot stand such a scare. If the man does this normally, That's all, but Rongshi hurt Prince Yu, and then related what happened two days agowhat do people think? What I mean is that you should wait for a while, I told Rongshi, but he naturally refused to listen. , I thought about it a lot, and I have to entrust you with it. Your sister gave it to our family, and we treat you as our own daughter, and we don¡¯t shy away from you when we have anything to say. Rong Shi has been ridiculous since he was a child, and when he grows up, please After becoming an official, he gradually started to look like a person in the past two years. But he is a firecracker, and his career is secondary if he continues like this. I am afraid that he will get into trouble, and he will not be able to extinguish the sparks. The second girl , you are a smart person and have the heart of a parent in the world. You will definitely understand us. I am not telling you to break up right now, but I am telling you to take it slow, meet less, and wait until things cool down before discussing marriage. I wonder if you can wait? "
Songyin understood in his heart that asking the girl to wait or not was simply a modest way of saying goodbye. Although she is not like ordinary girls who rush to get married when they reach their age, but since they are in love but have been reluctant to accept the offer, wouldn't she be stupid if she said she was willing to wait?
She felt sour, with tears in her eyes, and her throat was so choked that she could not speak. She wanted to express her position, but the more anxious she became, the harder it was to calm down.
"I" She felt that her intestines were knotted and it hurt like needles. I didn't expect that one day, I would ask someone to come to the door to refuse, and my face turned into a rag. The old lady at home is right, the humbler you are, the less people will take you seriously. What else can happen now? She can't do what she's just begging for, is that the end of it? Marriage between two families is not just a simple couple's life, it concerns the entire family. The more people involved, the more things have to be taken into consideration. She took a breath and nodded slowly, "I can understand my wife's painstaking efforts. Things are happening one after another in this process. Not to mention you, I feel worried myself. I am a girl, and I do my best to do everything I can. Zhouquan, but there are some things that are beyond my control. At this point, I can't do anything. My wife is right, a good man will not suffer the immediate disadvantages, and it is right to avoid them." She supported the sedan pole with one hand, her body was shaking, How difficult it is to say these words, every word seems to be tearing out the heart. But you can't show it. If you tell Mrs. Rong that their son of the Rong family doesn't want her anymore, will you be so anxious that you're trembling and dizzy? She straightened her back as much as possible and tried to maintain her dignity. She smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, madam. I know the pros and cons. I just brought trouble to the old lady and the madam. I am really ashamed." Very good. Now that you are here, I understand what you mean. Please take a message to my second brother and ask him to take it seriously. Everything will go smoothly. I dare not say how I can help him. Even if we are not destined to be together in the future, I I will do my best to protect him."
The end of her words was beyond Mrs. Rong's expectations. She went up to hold her hand and said solemnly: "Second girl, you don't know how much we like you, but the current situation is beyond our control and I have wronged you. I say this with all my heart. If we can't get along with you, we are really unlucky. Even if we get married again in the future, it will be difficult to find someone better than you. You are both good boys with a good heart. There is nothing you can do. Your arms can't twist your thighs. Who can It's the master who asked us to offend him."
She just nodded. Any words of comfort at this time were useless and only added to the pain. She opened the curtain for her and said, "Madam, please go back. It is getting late and it is not convenient for you to go out. Please take care of the old lady for me. I will go to the house to pay her respects when I have the opportunity in the future."
Mrs. Rong felt sad, it was such a pity to give up such a good child for nothing. But it is a last resort. If you don't be cruel now, the Rong family will be in trouble.
Looking at her again, she was standing beside the sedan chair, holding her sleeves and leaning forward slightly. She was dignified, not like a groveling slave. Mrs. Rong couldn't help but sigh, maybe she would achieve great things, but this small temple of the Rong family would not be able to accommodate her after all.
Songyin sent her to the sedan chair, lowered the curtain and watched the bearer lift it up and walk into the darkness. She stood alone for a long time, with the cold wind blowing on her body. It was not until her hands and feet were cold that she thought of returning to her sedan chair.
My heart felt bitter and sour for a while, but my breath was dying. When I got home, I felt like most of the people were dead. Aunt Jin and Ya'er didn't notice it at first, so they opened the curtain to welcome her and told her the interesting things that happened in the house today. She didn't have that thought. She stepped out and suddenly found that she couldn't move anymore. Her knees went weak and she knelt on the bluestone road.
Mother Jin was so frightened that she screamed, "SisterSister, what's wrongcall someone quickly! Call someone quickly!"
The house was suddenly in chaos, with such a valuable head aunt.?¡¯, if something goes wrong, the family will collapse. So a large group of people came out and carried her back to the house. The eldest lady cried loudly, "My second girl, you can't scare Enie. What happened? Is there any evil spirit somewhere?"
She fell on the bed without saying a word, tears streaming down her face, like the Yellow River bursting its embankments, unable to be blocked.
The old lady called the bearers to come, and the four bearers stood at the foot of the steps with their hands down and replied: "The servants were waiting for the second girl outside the Donghua Gate as usual. The second girl was fine when she left the palace, just because Mrs. Rong's wife and She said a few words and it became like this"
The old lady's face turned livid with anger, "Okay, I can't afford to offend the casserole or the fence. See why our Tong family is so easy to bully? If you have anything to say, you don't dare to come to the door to say it. If you go to the palace, the door will be blocked. My child, is this something a human being can do?" He yelled outside, "Get me a sedan and go to Qianliang Alley! Are you going to harm our child like this, just shrink his neck into the bastard's shell?"
The second wife hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her, "What are you talking about? This is a hidden mistake. If you eat it, you will eat it. There is no explanation for it when you come to the door. You are asking for trouble."
Songyin came over slowly, propped himself up and said, "Grandma, don't go, just save some face for me!"
"When she said this, everyone understood. Their guess was correct. The Rong family had given in. Rong really had the courage to move forward, and the two female owners of their family considered it carefully and decided to give up after much deliberation.
"It doesn't matter if they go their own way, their family won't have to worry about getting married, and the girls from the Tong family won't have to worry about getting married either.
The old lady comforted her in front of the kang, "It's nothing. I haven't decided yet. I'll find a way out as soon as possible without delaying anyone. You are just too serious. It's just a child's joke. The adults didn't agree. Let's go in." Isn¡¯t it a waste to have so much love so far? It¡¯s not too late to realize now that we didn¡¯t get married and everything is forgivable. If we get married and cause trouble, that would be really disgusting!"
Songyin was so confused that she didn't want to listen to the old lady's nagging, so she lifted up the quilt and covered her head. As a result, everyone stopped talking and looked at it helplessly for a long time. The eldest lady and the people waiting in her room were left alone, and the rest dispersed.
The wife was heartbroken and she sat in front of her kang without moving, calling softly, "Er Niu, don't scare me with Enie's 'meat'. When something big happens, think of Enie first, I and I Your Ama is pointing at you, if you have three advantages and two disadvantages, how can we both survive?"
She had finished crying under the quilt, stuck her head out, and said softly: "You can go back and have a rest. I have nothing to do, just take a nap. Don't ask me what happened. I don't want to recall those words. Let's just leave it behind." It¡¯s over.¡±
The wife was furious, "I have to work it out with your Ama, we can't let the Rong family be so cheap."
She said goodbye, "Rong Zhen did nothing wrong, don't blame him. In fact, this is human nature. If we were in another position, we would definitely do the same thing, so we can't blame others."
The wife sighed, for such a sincere child to still speak for others at this time, it shows that she was too affectionate and paid the wrong price. .
