Chapter 48 The most important thing in this world is regret
Rong Ci was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold the cup of tea. He wanted to explain: "Mother, this matter..."
Mrs. Rong Guogong raised her eyes and looked at him: "How do you deal with this matter?"
Rong Ci said: "This matter still needs to be discussed. Miss Xie and I are just..."
Mrs. Rong Guogong's eyes were sharp and she continued to ask: "Just how?"
Rong Ci paused. Although his mother had never seen it with her own eyes, she must have known that there was a maid in the courtyard at that time, and she also knows now.
Although he has been in this Yunzhong Temple all year round, he is not the least bit ignorant of the world. The reputation of a girl's family is especially important. Now he should hug her even if she shouldn't, and look at things even if she shouldn't. If she marries someone else in the future, the other party will know.
These, I'm afraid life won't be easy.
Speaking of which, he also found it strange that all living beings in the world are equal, and men and women should also be equal. However, men in this world can have three wives and four concubines, but they require women to be chaste and chaste, and not to be jealous or unvirtuous.
During this period, there were various demands and harsh demands. Men were clearly strong and women were weak. How could we speak of equality?
He was silent for a period of time because he really didn't want to marry a wife.
He has a cold temperament. Firstly, he is afraid that someone will disturb his tranquility. Secondly, he feels that he cannot give the girl what she wants. It is really selfish to delay the girl's life like this.
After a long time, he said: "Miss Xie should have her own marriage, I am not suitable."
Mrs. Rong Guogong asked again: "Why is it inappropriate?"
But Mrs. Rong Guogong didn't think there was anything wrong with her son. The grand master of the Duke's mansion would have a prince if he wanted.
He is also born with extraordinary good looks. He is extremely smart in both knowledge and martial arts. If he wants to make progress, he will definitely have a bright future. If he just wants to live a leisurely life, he will be rich and noble for the rest of his life.
There are countless women in the world who want to marry him, and it doesn't matter if they have a colder personality. As long as they live a decent life and don't have so many worries, then it's a good marriage.
"I'm a bit more quiet and like to be quiet, so I won't delay this girl."
"Why the delay? You have probably lived in this temple for a long time and don't know what it is like outside. Now you don't agree, saying it's for her own good, but how do you know what is good?"
"A woman will marry in her life. She was born in the Xie family and raised in the Changning Marquis Mansion. The person she marries must be a young master from a certain family in the Imperial City. Do you know what those young masters are like?"
"Some of the unmarried ones already have wives at home, and when they get married, they will be brought up to be concubines. Some of them are kept outside, and some even like to go to the flower streets and willow alleys to have fun."
"In some families, there are many conflicts between mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sisters-in-law, or there are many brothers. They fight for the family property and the title. What is wrong with our family? What is wrong with you?"
"Even if your third brother has something over there, there is no need to tolerate them. To put it bluntly, we are extremely benevolent to them. If they are still greedy and think everything belongs to them, then don't blame me for being rude."
From Mrs. Rong Guogong's point of view, she had no objection to raising her brother-in-law's son. It was not that she couldn't afford to raise him. It was okay to take him as an adopted son. Seeing that her brother-in-law had treated Rong Guogong well in the past, she tolerated it.
, in the future, he will be given some share of the family property, and it will be considered finished.
But if she covets someone who shouldn't be coveted, and even wants to bully her children and grandchildren, that can't be tolerated.
"Since you feel sorry for Miss Xie, why don't you think more about her? If she marries into those families, she will fight and fight her whole life without a peaceful life. How will she live her life?"
Rong Ci couldn't answer this question. He had never thought about getting married in his life. He originally thought of returning home and waiting for his parents for a hundred years before returning to Yunzhong Temple and spending his life here.
But now something unexpected happened like this.
Seeing that he was silent, Mrs. Rong Guogong knew that he was hesitating, so she said: "You can think about this matter carefully, but you need to be clear, Miss Xie will get married sooner or later, and if it's not you, then
It's someone else."
"If I miss it in this life, I wonder if I will regret it when I look back on it when I am old?"
"The most important thing in this world is regret, because no matter how much you regret, you don't want to be sad again, but you can't go back to the past and do it all over again."
At that time, all that is left is the pain of ‘not getting what you want’.
When Mrs. Rong Guogong said this, she asked him to go home: "After this incident, you will go home with me. Here, you can come back and stay for a few days when you have free time, and play chess with Master Huiyuan."
Have some tea."
I nodded in agreement with this speech: "Just follow mother's instructions."
Rong Ci drank a cup of tea, stood up and said goodbye. When he walked to the door of the courtyard, he remembered his original purpose of coming. He had originally gone to ask a maid to take care of Xie Yixiao, but he later forgot about it.
He wanted to go back and ask, but thinking of his mother's attitude, he wanted to get the two of them together immediately, and he probably wouldn't agree.
Finally, I had to sigh and admit it.
But in just one day, he felt that he sighed more often than he had in the past year.
.
It was already noon when Xie Yixiao woke up. The sunlight outside was just right, birds were chirping in the yard, and the faint fragrance of peach blossoms blew into the house with the soft spring breeze.
She was lying on a bed. When she opened her eyes, she saw a sky-blue curtain and a soft quilt on her body. She felt very comfortable sleeping.
When she wanted to close her eyes and continue sleeping, she suddenly remembered what happened last night and sat up suddenly. She was so panicked that she lost all sleep.
Where is she?
She glanced around and saw that the house was clean and concise, and the windows were clear. It didn't look like...
At this moment, someone knocked on the door: "Thank you, Miss? Are you awake?"
Xie Yixiao was startled, and then she heard that his voice sounded familiar. At this moment, she remembered what happened next. Her face lit up, and when she was about to get up, she felt very weak, and it was quite difficult to get out of bed.
Finally I had to give up and let him come in by himself.
"I'm awake, Mr. Rong. It's inconvenient for me to get up. Please come in."
After hearing this, Rong Ci opened the door and came in. He saw her sitting against the head of the bed, covered with a quilt. Her face was still very pale, but her mental state was better.
When she saw him, she even smiled, like the peach blossoms on the branches in the yard, with a hint of brightness in her weakness.
"Master Rong, thank you for saving me."
Rong Ci hummed softly: "No need to be polite, no matter who it was last night, I will not leave you alone."
Seeing that she was in good spirits, he was secretly relieved, but he was a little worried because of what happened last night, and he didn't know that she remembered it.
If he remembered, how should he face her.
Thinking that he has lived for so many years, this is the first time he has encountered such a worrying thing.
"By the way, where am I? Where are Mingxin and Mingjing? Are they okay?"
