Chapter 86: Prince Ding's Mansion has been vacant for many years, and it's time to repair it
After Rong Ci returned home from Yunzhong Temple, he often stayed in the Spring Garden, and occasionally took people out for a walk.
At this time, he was wearing an ordinary green shirt, with a green scarf on his head, holding a bamboo hat in his hand, and a pair of thick-soled shoes at his feet. If he was wearing a hat and didn't look carefully, he would just think it was a man.
Ordinary people.
"Meet Mother."
Mrs. Rong Guogong glanced at him: "Where have you been today?"
Rong Ci said: "I went out for a walk. My mother came to look for me, but what's the matter?"
The two of them entered the room, and a boy came up to serve tea. Mrs. Rong Guogong took a sip of tea and frowned slightly, but she endured it in the end.
Maybe because she has been pampered over the years, she has become a little picky. In the past, when she was leading the army in the war, she could drink even muddy water when she was thirsty, but now she dislikes the tea made by her servants because it is rough and unpalatable.
She glanced around and saw that it was neat and clean.
Rong Ci slowly took a sip of tea, his expression calm and calm.
Mrs. Rong Guogong endured it for a while, but she couldn't bear it anymore: "How have you considered what I told you before? Your Majesty also agreed to this matter. As long as you nod, I will invite a matchmaker.
Go and say goodbye."
"Although Miss Xie's parents are no longer here, she was born in the Xie family and has a maternal ancestor's family like the Changning Marquis Mansion. She was also taught by Mrs. Gu personally. If she hadn't been sick all the time, how could she have waited until now.
"
"If you hesitate any longer, I'm afraid she will get engaged and belong to someone else. It will be too late by then, and you can't blame others."
Mrs. Rong Guogong was really anxious. The main reason was that her son was so cold and indifferent, that is, he was a little different to this girl Xie. She was really afraid that she would miss it. By then, he would really be with her for the rest of her life.
Passed alone.
It is true that the emperor was not in a hurry to kill the eunuch.
No, it’s because my son is too impatient to kill me!
Rong Ci paused, thought for a moment, and said, "Thank you, miss, I should have a good marriage."
Mrs. Rong Guogong disagreed with his words: "It's boring if you say these words again. I've said it several times, why can't you count it as a good marriage? You have to give her to someone else to be considered a good marriage?"
"This person, the only person you can control is yourself. You can't control the actions and thoughts of others. It's all vain for you to expect others to treat her well. How do you know that he really likes her? And
How do you know he will be the same in the future?"
"This world has never been fair to women. If she is married, no matter what pain or sadness she has, she has to swallow it by herself."
"If you really want her to get better, it's better to keep her by your side. At least what you can give her is what you can imagine and see, and others may not be able to give it."
Rong Ci looked at the tea soup in the teacup. There were slight fluctuations on the water, going round and round.
When Mrs. Rong Guogong saw that he still remained silent, she was extremely angry: "Okay, I don't care about you anymore. Just wait and see what kind of person she can find. If you regret it then, we will
Just grab it shamelessly."
"But if that time comes, don't think about it."
Mrs. Rong Guogong was so angry that she stood up and turned around and left. She thought that if Miss Xie really wanted to see someone else, she would catch them and investigate them, and if there was anything wrong with them, she would report them to him.
I don't believe he can still sit still.
Rong Ci sat at the tea table, watching her leaving back, a little lost in thought. His slender fingers slid over the edge of the tea cup, and he thought to himself:
Although Miss Xie is nice, I am not a good match.
He also couldn't give her the feelings that a man should give to a woman, and promised her that she would "love you forever and spend the rest of your life together".
He is not suitable for getting married, and he should not delay other girls.
He thought for a while, feeling a little upset, then got up and walked to the eaves of the door. There were four-cornered palace lanterns hanging under the eaves, with some exquisite patterns painted on them. There were various trees and flowers planted in the yard, and there were a lot of flowers at this time.
All kinds of beautiful.
The flowers in this courtyard are delicately and carefully cultivated. Although spring has gone and summer has arrived, the garden is still full of flowers as in spring, and it lives up to the word "spring garden".
At this time, the wind came, and the branches swayed slightly, and petals rustled with the wind. He stretched out his hand, and a petal fell into his palm. The petals seemed to have lost their moisture and were a little withered.
He lowered his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, then stretched out his hand to smooth the petals, took it back to the house, and sandwiched it in a book.
Since you are destined, you should seize that fate. As his mother said, if you miss it, it will be too late to regret it.
Regret is the only thing in the world that is unavoidable. Even if you regret it again, you cannot do it again. The only thing left is the suffering of not being able to ask for it.
But he always felt that Miss Xie should have better things, so that her life could be complete.
After sitting for a while, he heard that someone came to report that his father asked him to come over. He also changed his clothes and went to his father's study. When he arrived, he found that not only his father, but also his mother were there.
My elder brothers and sisters-in-law are all here.
"Meet father and mother."
Rong Guogong is over fifty years old. Although he is a military general, he is not tall by birth. Instead, he looks like a Confucian general. He looks kind and calm in character, very similar to Rong Xun. In other words, Rong Xun's temperament is casual.
of my father.
"Sit down and talk."
They are all members of the family, and Rong Guogong did not beat around the bush: "After today's morning court, I played two games of chess with His Majesty. His Majesty asked me about Prince Ding's Mansion, and asked me if Prince Ding's Mansion needs to be repaired and needs someone to live in it.
Got in."
The implication was that he was asking Rong Ci if he wanted to adopt his grandfather's name and inherit the royal title.
Emperor Shengwu had two sons, Prince Zhaoming and the emperor. Only Prince Ding had a biological brother. Prince Ding only had a daughter, Mrs. Rong Guogong. The three of them had a deep relationship since childhood, and it was no different as if they were their own children.
It is precisely for this reason that the prince has always treated Rong Guogong's wife with great respect and called her aunt.
The title of Prince Ding had been vacant for many years without heirs, and the emperor was concerned about it. Now that he had resigned and returned home, he naturally wanted to ask about the situation.
"What are your opinions on this matter?"
Naturally, Mrs. Rong Guogong had no objection, and Rong Xun also quickly expressed his position: "Prince Ding's Mansion has been vacant for many years, and it is time for repairs."
Ming said: "If it comes in handy, my daughter-in-law will also go and help."
The couple are not greedy people. Besides, between the two brothers, the eldest son will inherit his father's family. Since there is no one in the mother's family, it is natural for the second son to inherit his grandfather's family.
These two people would definitely refuse to give it to Rong Ting. If they want to make things easier for outsiders, wouldn't it be better to leave it to their son?
But to Rong Ci, there is nothing much to say.
Rong Guogong nodded, feeling satisfied. He was older and preferred to see a family reunited, with harmonious sons and daughters, and filial piety from the younger generations.
"Xiaojiu, what do you mean?"
