Chapter 138 Hit her head with the idea
Rong Fu frowned slightly, but Rong Jingji was right, and she couldn't refuse to let her go, so she said, "It's rare that Ji Meitu has such filial piety, so let's go together."
Rong Jingqiu didn't say anything. When she took the tea served by Rong Jingji, she looked at her. Rong Jingji still had a smile on her face. She couldn't see anything wrong.
Rong Jin didn't think much about it. Anyway, the mansion had to do several rituals a year, and these expenses remained unchanged. Now that the mother-in-law wants to take her granddaughter to pray for blessings, how could she stop her?
"The daughter-in-law is going to arrange carriages and horses, but it is not good to leave other girls aside. It is better to take them together so that they can relax."
Rong Fu's forehead pounded when he heard this, and he wondered in his heart whether Rong Jin had noticed something wrong?
But after looking at it, Rong Jinshi's reaction was as usual, and she could not see anything wrong.
Rong Jingji, who has always spoken few words and expressions, said a lot today. "Mother's proposal is just right. We sisters gather together rarely this year. Now everyone is more lively on the way. Grandma, how are you okay?"
Rong Jin was disliked this concubine's daughter and didn't pay much attention to her words.
How can Rong Fu have a bad truth?
But her head hurt even more and she glanced at Rong Jingji. What's going on with this girl? She didn't say so much in the air, and she seemed to have changed her personality today.
Rong Jingqiu lowered her eyes slightly and held the tea bowl tightly. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. Rong Jingji should have noticed something was wrong, otherwise she would not have tried her best to pull a group of sisters to travel, which is not in line with her usual temperament.
Rong Li sat on the side and said, "That's good. My girl from Si is also a person who can't rest. Let her go and pray for her grandfather, and she just happens to be closer to her sisters."
Now Rong Jiang was not able to shirk her daughter, and her husband was a concubine after all, and she was the old lady Rong Fu, who had a thorn in her eyes, so she hurriedly said that her Xia Yatou could go as well.
In this way, almost all the girls in the mansion went to the temple to pray for blessings.
After the travel matter was finalized, Rong Fu said he was exhausted, and the group of people hurriedly left.
Rong Jingqiu followed Rong Jinshi and took a special look at Rong Jingji again before leaving, but Rong Jingji had no hint. Could it be that she was suspicious and guessed wrong? This trip was just a simple prayer?
After all the people left, Rong Jingji's expression became as indifferent as usual, as if the person who was happy that the sisters were traveling was another person.
Aunt Fu found her daughter in a furious manner and said angrily, "What are you doing? Your grandmother doesn't need you to pray for blessings, you force yourself..."
Rong Jingji looked up at her mother and interrupted her directly, "I should ask my aunt this, what do you want to do? Besides, I am also the granddaughter of my grandfather, so why is it wrong for me to pray for blessings? This is really hard for me to remember the suspicion."
Aunt Fu avoided the sharp eyes of this daughter, "What can I do if you think about anything? Now that your grandmother is holding me back, what else can I do?" The more I said, "Your father is also a kind-hearted person, and he doesn't think about us mother and son at all..."
Rong Jingji didn't hear anything about her complaints. She wanted to say that her father was the only one who ignored her. Her younger brother Rong Lu lived well in the main room, and her mother did not take her anger on her younger brother. She arranged food and drink more thoughtful and meticulously than her former aunt. If this was not good, then what was good?
"If my aunt doesn't repent, I want to plot against you. I think my dad will have any heart to strangle you to death." She sneered coldly, "Dad doesn't have many children. Including the two illegitimate ones and my brother, there are only five. If you let anyone break, please be careful that my dad will really kill you."
She never doubts her father's love for her children, and her own mother is challenging her father's bottom line.
Aunt Fu was shocked by her daughter's words and she turned her head and did not dare to look directly at her daughter, but she still said toughly, "You are more and more able to talk nonsense. What else can I do under your grandmother's nose?"
After saying that, she didn't care about the unhappiness of looking for her daughter, so she hurriedly turned around and left.
Rong Jingji looked at her mother's figure who seemed to be running away in a hurry and felt a sense of loss. This is the mother who gave birth to her and raised her. She would not plan for her children at all. She would only drag her back again and again. She really felt very tired.
She leaned on the pillar tiredly. She couldn't receive any wind at all when her mother planned this time. That's how she was uneasy. So when she saw her grandmother wanted to pull Rong Jingqiu to pray for blessings, the way she could think of was to follow her, but she didn't believe that she followed her in an endless manner. How could her mother attack the elder sister? Unless she had to harm herself, if this was the case...
Then she would give her life back, which was a complete mother-daughter relationship that she did not want. However, under this premise, she did not want Rong Jingqiu to be hurt, and she did not want her legitimate mother to hold a grudge against her younger brother.
Aunt Fu didn't know what her daughter was thinking, she just felt angry and embarrassed. This daughter was really a stumbling block in her life. She couldn't move it away or smash it. She was really annoying.
When Rong Jingqiu returned to Dongqianyuan, she asked Lin Lan'er and asked her if she had observed any strange movements in Ning'antang?
Lin Lan'er said, "I didn't find anything unusual. It was just that the old lady of the Fu family's uncle came a few days ago. However, she would come a few times a month, so it was not surprising that I didn't tell the girl."
Rong Jingqiu pondered for a moment. Rong Fu's sister-in-law came over to ask for money, which was indeed not new, but she still said, "Go and inquire about it and see why she came to ask for money. Please find out more."
Lin Lan'er nodded, lifted the curtain and went out.
Rong Jingqiu told Mei'er to start packing her luggage. It usually takes three or five days to pray for blessings. She had to bring all the things, so she could save time and could not find them. She also ordered red clothes and green sleeves to accompany her.
Mei'er went to pack up her things. Zhu'er and Ju'er thought that this trip would let them serve, but they didn't expect that Hongshang and Luxiu had a face. They were a little disappointed. They were all left aside during this period, and they could only see Hongshang and Luxiu being proud, feeling very uncomfortable.
But these words cannot be said. The two of them could only help Mei'er pack up their things silently, and at least they could play their roles, otherwise the girl would not remember them even more in the future.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua was asking for a meeting outside.
Rong Jingqiu almost forgot about this person. After all, she brought her from Zhuangzi to pretend to be sick, but since she announced that she had recovered from the disease, she completely threw this matter behind her as soon as she was busy.
So I quickly let her in
Zhang Xiaohua no longer had the pale face and thinness when she first met. She looked bad. Not to mention how much she gained weight now, but her white and red skin color really showed her health. It seems that the root cause of the disease has been completely eliminated.
Yes, Doctor Xu is not reliable, but his medical skills are always reliable.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua giving her a big gift, she hurriedly asked her to help her up, "No need to do this, I am happy to see that you are cured of illness."
Zhang Xiaohua carefully sat on the carved round stool and said with gratitude, "There are so many girls. If it weren't for the girl, my life would have been gone. The girl would have been my reborn parents." At this point, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Rong Jingqiu did not fully take credit. In her opinion, she and Zhang Xiaohua both wanted at that time, so there was no need for Zhang Xiaohua to be so grateful to her.
She deliberately changed the subject and asked her what plans she had in the future since she was cured of the disease.
Only then did Zhang Xiaohua say that she wanted to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, but she didn't want to go back to the village.
In fact, this is a good multiple-choice question. Stay here and follow Rong Jingqiu. The future will be different. If you go back to the village, you will be destined to go to the fields every day, and you can only marry a farmer who doesn’t know a word of marriage.
While she was recuperating in Dongqian Hospital, she carefully observed the life of the servants of the Hou Mansion. It was really not comparable to that of Zhuangzi, so she had the idea of staying in her heart early, and for this reason she secretly learned to recognize words in private. After all, she was very envious when she saw that everyone else recognized words.
The other maids in the room looked at Zhang Xiaohua after hearing this, with complex eyes and different thoughts.
Rong Jingqiu would not despise her decisions based on reality. People are not sages, so who can have no selfishness? She asked herself that she was not a real good person.
"If you want to stay, then stay and be a second-class maid first. You can learn the rules of the institution. If you do well, you will have any chance of promotion at any time. Zhu'er, please take her to arrange it."
When Zhu'er heard Rong Jingqiu's name, she stood up happily and hurriedly led Zhang Xiaohua down.
Then Zhang Xiaohua quickly stood up and bowed and left. She was also satisfied with being a second-class maid. She should not be too greedy.
The other maids in the house saw the joy in Zhang Xiaohua's eyes and were much less prepared for her. After all, there were too many monks and too little porridge, and no one wanted to have another strong competitor. Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua had nothing special. Unlike Hongshang and Green Sleeve, they were a trainee, and they could protect the lives of their own girls at critical moments.
So even if Hongshang and Lu Xiu have many opportunities to make a name for themselves recently, others dare not feel resentful and jealous. After all, they can't compare with their force.
Everything was done, and the next day, a huge group of people left the gate of Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Rong Jingqiu specially took a carriage with Rong Jingji. There was also a daughter of three families in the carriage. The second girl Rong Jingxia, who had no sense of existence.
As for Rong Jingdong, the sister who was not in the way of Rong Jingqiu, she directly took a carriage with Rong Jingsi and Rong Jingping.
The little daughter Rong Jing'an in the big room was forgotten directly. Her sister-in-law Rong Feng often couldn't remember her, let alone others?
Rong Jingxia didn't talk much. After sitting down, she started to take out the book and pass the time while reading it. However, even though she didn't say anything, her ears were erect. She couldn't escape her ears when there was any movement.
Rong Jingqiu didn't get along with her much, but she only knew that her marriage would be next year. After getting married in her previous life, she had their own families, so she met even fewer times. Later, she could hardly even meet in the past one or two years before her death.
However, she still knew her temperament. If she pulled Rong Jingji to speak, Rong Jingxia would definitely think that she was excluding her. The existence of the three illegitimate houses in the mansion was very embarrassing, which led to Rong Jingxia's inferior and arrogant mentality. When she got along with her, she needed to maintain her self-esteem with great care.
"The carriage shaking, reading is not good for your eyes. The second sister might as well chat with us, and time can also slip faster." Rong Jingqiu invited.
Rong Jingxia smiled, "I'm used to it."
He talked to the sky to death with just one sentence, but fortunately, Rong Jingqiu knew her temperament and didn't care.
Rong Jingji just glanced at her cousin and never had much contact with her, so she wouldn't care even if Rong Jingxia was so cold.
Rong Jingqiu glanced at the two of them and felt a little bored. Fortunately, she didn't have to chat. When she turned around and saw Rong Jingji start to do embroidery work to pass the time, she just smiled and leaned against the soft pillow next to her and began to close her eyes to rest.
Rong Jingxia is prone to sleepiness when reading books. Not long after, she lay tilted aside and fell asleep, holding the book in her hand.
Rong Jingqiu took the book in her hand to the side and helped her adjust her sleeping position so that she would not hurt her neck when she woke up, but no matter how she swung her, Rong Jingxia did not wake up.
She was sure she had really fallen asleep, so she approached Rong Jingji. "Sister Six, let's talk, how about it?" She held the embroidered piece in Rong Jingji's hand and smiled at her.
Rong Jingji is not necessarily embroidered, but with Rong Jingxia, a slim cousin, she doesn't speak much, so she won't misunderstand that she wants to win over her third sister and exclude her.
"What do the third sister want to say?" She put the embroidery piece aside, tilted her head and said, "Sister just listen carefully."
Rong Jingqiu didn't like to talk around the bush, so she said directly, "Did Sister Liu find out what she wants to pray together?"
Rong Jingji shook her head, "I really didn't find anything, but," paused. Thinking of her younger brother who was raised under her legitimate mother's knees, she said again, "You have to be careful. I can't say what will happen, but I won't leave you. As long as we are tied together, they should be more restrained."
She was betting that her mother still had a little affection for her.
Rong Jingqiu understood that it was Aunt Fu who was causing trouble again. She couldn't help but think of the news that Lin Lan'er had inquired about yesterday. Fu Zong, a very unsatisfied grandson of the Fu family, lost a lot of money. Now the gambling house is here to ask for the account again. Rong Fu gave some money to send the person away.
This was not a new thing, and after hearing this, she thought that Rong Fu was discouraged and did not intend to care about the mess in her parents' family. After all, which family has so much money to fill the bottomless pit. In her opinion, it would be best if Fu Zong, a messy ghost, was cut to death by someone, and this would be good for everyone.
But now it seems that things are obviously not what I think.
She looked at Rong Jingji with a faint look and whispered in her ear, "Did the Fu family put their ideas on our Rong family girl's head? No, was it on my head?"
