Compared with Rong Ting, the only child in Sanfang, Rong Erye's family is full of children and grandchildren, with a large population.
Mr. Rong Er married three wives in his life, and also took in several concubines. There were six sons in his family, Rong Er, Rong Si, Rong Wu, Rong Liu, Rong Qi and Rong Ba, as well as two married daughters.
.
The eldest son Rong Errong Hua was born to his first wife, Rong Liurong Xiu was born to his second wife, Rong Ba Rongtang was born to his current wife He, and the remaining Rong Four, Rong Five, and Rong Qi were all born to concubines.
Among them, Rong Er, Rong Si, Rong Wu and Rong Ba are all married. Only Rong Liu and Rong Qi are unmarried. Their grandchildren already have six boys and four girls. The youngest one is Rong Ba's daughter-in-law, Xiao He, who is holding her in his arms.
The little girl is only two years old.
This Rong Ba's daughter-in-law is none other than a cousin of Rong Ba's mother's family, the He family. At this time, there is no such thing as the saying in later generations that close relatives cannot get married, so cousins are the best marriage partners.
Rong Ba is twenty-three years old, only one year older than Rong Ci, but he already has two children.
Xie Yixiao's eyes hurt when she looked at so many children, and she couldn't tell who was who. When others spoke to her, she just responded with a smile.
Let her tell you, in a place like Rong Guogong's Mansion, with a small population and a large area, it's okay to live together. We only have dinner together twice this month, but the second uncle Rong's family has so many descendants.
Sun and Sun live together and eat at the same table. Doesn't this mean they have to fight several times a day?
Let alone a quarrel, even if they were together now, she felt like her head was hurting.
Fortunately, Mr. Rong's family all depended on Duke Rong's government to live their lives. Although they had the same grandfather, their identities were already different. No matter how much they fought in private, they did not dare to offend anyone from Duke Rong's government.
Although Xie Yixiao was the youngest among the daughters-in-law of the Rong family, no one dared to make a mistake in front of her. They praised her again and again, and praised her again and again, making her seem like a fairy descended from heaven.
Fortunately, Xie Yixiao had dealt with the people of the Xie family and was able to deal with them with ease.
Of course, these people are also very thoughtful.
The He family wanted to pave the way for their son, and decided to follow the example of Rong Ting and adopt Rong Ba to the Duke Rong's palace. From then on, he would change his appearance and enjoy wealth and glory.
Rong Er's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Song, applied eye drops to Liao Zhuyin without leaving any trace.
The Song family and Liao Zhuyin were similar in age, and they married into the Rong family almost at the same time. Originally, the two families should have the same status, but Rong Ting was so lucky that he actually won the love of Rong Guogong and his wife, and adopted him.
head.
However, Mrs. Song felt that she and Liao Zhuyin were similar. When they were young, they wanted to get together, but Liao Zhuyin didn't look down on her at all. He looked at her aloofly and coldly, as if she was garbage on the ground and was not worthy of talking to such a noble person as her. But
This made Mrs. Song very angry, so the grudge was forged.
Because Liao Zhuyin was still the third young lady of Duke Rong's family in these years, Mrs. Song had no choice but to hold back and endure a lot. Now that she saw Liao Zhuyin was in bad luck, she naturally wanted to step on her.
Especially knowing the grievances between the Liao family and the Xie family, she would naturally put some eye drops in front of Xie Yixiao. It would be best to make Xie Yixiao hate Liao Zhuyin even more and make the future of the Rongting family difficult.
"I invited her to come with me in the morning, but she said she was sick and couldn't get up." Ms. Song looked worried, "She doesn't get sick sooner or later. Why did she get sick at this time and miss coming?"
It is such a pity that I will see you again."
"I asked Rong Qing again if she was going, and someone from their family told her that Rong Qing was also sick. I didn't know why the mother and daughter were sick at the same time. When I got back, I went to their home to visit."
When the people in the room heard her words, their expressions were subtle, and Rong Ting felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.
No one present knew that Liao Zhuyin's illness was just an excuse, she just didn't want to come.
Rong's family was too lazy to look at her face, and they were afraid that she would cause trouble when she came and make things unhappy, so they all acquiesced in the fact that Liao Zhuyin and Rong Qing would not come.
This Song family is just pretending to be stupid.
Xie Yixiao smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law is interested. Maybe the third sister-in-law and I have no fate, so we can't meet each other today, but it doesn't matter. Since I'm married, we will meet each other forever in the future."
"But now that I'm newly married, I'm afraid it won't be convenient for me to visit her recently. It's a pity. If my second sister-in-law goes, please say hello to me and ask her to take good care of her health."
Xie Yi smiled and refused to take issue with Mrs. Song. She knew how best to deal with the grudge between her and Liao Zhuyin, and she didn't need anyone else to instigate it.
Mrs. Rong Guogong snorted softly: "What do you want to do with her? If you want to visit her, just go."
Seeing Mrs. Rong Guogong's displeasure, Mrs. Song said sarcastically: "My niece-in-law is just a little worried, that's all, let's not talk about her."
Rong Si's daughter-in-law, Lan, smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law is really kind-hearted. If she is so worried about her, she really needs to go there. However, the relationship between the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law was not that good in the past. Today, she is so concerned about the third sister-in-law."
Mrs. Song's expression changed slightly: "Whether I go or not, I don't need my four siblings to worry about it."
Lan took a sip of tea gracefully and said nothing.
Mrs. Ming was afraid that the two people would quarrel, so she coughed slightly: "Okay, it's almost noon. You all go to the outer courtyard to have lunch. You have been busy for many days and are tired. After lunch, you all go home.
Go and have a good rest."
When Mrs. Song and Mrs. Lan saw that Mingshi had opened her mouth, they shut up and did not dare to speak.
A group of people went to the outer courtyard to have lunch, and then dispersed. Rong Guogong and his wife went back to Mulan Garden first, Rong Jing and Rong Xuan went to play after eating, and the remaining four people walked to the garden together.
Ming said: "Don't worry about them. The second family had a grudge with the Liao family in the past, and they were not at odds with the fourth family. The second family has no ability and is not reliable at work, so they mostly reuse the fourth family. In the heart of the second family
It’s sour.”
Duke Rong Guo settled Rong Er Ye and his family in the Imperial City for some reasons. First of all, they were his younger brother's family. It was hard for him to live a good life, and his family must have lived a miserable life.
Second, there are not many heirs in his lineage. In the future, Rong Ci will have to be adopted by his maternal ancestors. The next generation will probably only have Rong Jing Rongxuan. I also want to have a few trustworthy and useful people.
So as long as they do things well, they are the same as others when using their brothers' descendants. Now Rong Si and Rong Wu are both working for Rong Guogong's government. Among them, Rong Si is the most capable, and Rong Guogong and Rong Xun also value him.
of.
As for Rong Er, he is just a fool waiting to die, so it's no wonder that Mr. Song is so sour.
Xie Yi smiled and understood: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know it well." Even if she didn't understand the twists and turns, she couldn't be led by others.
Mingshi smiled softly: "As long as you know what's going on."
