MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 178

After Rong Xin and Jingxi peeked at it, they pretended not to know anything and went back separately.

Dongzhu was already up, and a palace maid was standing by the bed with clothes as if to ask her to change, but Dongzhu ignored it and sat on the bed with the quilt motionless.

As soon as Dongzhu heard Rong Xin come in, she stared at her closely, as if she was complaining.

Rong Xin glanced at the time on the self-ringing bell. It stands to reason that it is not yet the time when Dongzhu usually wakes up, but it is indeed Rong Xin's fault to leave her alone in the room in an unfamiliar place.

Therefore, Rong Xin immediately approached, apologized directly and explained: "Sorry, Grid, just now the prince looked for me, and I went out. I will take you with me next time."

Dongzhu then retracted her gaze, stretched her upper arm, took the clothes from the palace maid's hand, and supported herself.

The palace maid explained: "As soon as Gege woke up, the servant told you where you were going and wanted to help Gege change clothes first, but Gege just wanted to wait for you."

"It's okay, Grid can do it well."

In this era, it is common for masters to be served by servants to change clothes, but the prince is self-reliant since he was a child, and it is even more so when his grandson and other grandchildren grow up.

Dongzhu's situation is even more special, Rong Xin even asked her to do her best to do it herself. Now Dongzhu is no different from ordinary people except that she doesn't speak.

Rong Xin waved back the palace maid, and when Dongzhu was dressed, he asked her to sit in front of the mirror and comb her hair in person.

"Gege, let's go out today, how about going back to the palace tomorrow?"

Dongzhu lowered her head and fiddled with it without answering, Rong Xin was used to it, and continued to talk to herself: "Do you miss the Crown Princess? Let's go to the street market and pick up a few gadgets for gifts. Crown Princess, as long as you choose, the Crown Princess will definitely like it very much."

"That's it." Rong Xin directly regarded her silence as acquiescence and decided on her own.

Rong Xin combed Dongzhu's whip and led her out, only Jingxi sat alone in the main hall, Guo Luoluo still had a future.

And Jingxi was very constricted. As soon as Guo Luoluo appeared, he deliberately asked: "Why, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Guo Luoluo's eyes flickered with guilt, and then calmly said: "I haven't slept well since I came to Zhuangzi. Did my uncle find out today? It's obvious that he doesn't care enough about his niece."

"Hey—?"

Rong Xin smiled secretly, his acting skills and skills were not inferior to the old man yesterday.

What else did Jingxi say, Guo Luoluo immediately turned aside and asked, "Where are Uncle and Lady Rong going today?"

"Wherever you go, it has nothing to do with you." Before she could tell the difference, Jingxi said indiscriminately, "You have also met people, and you will be honest with Zhuangzi for the rest of the time. ."

Guo Luoluo pouted, not very happy, but did not say any more willful words.

They have Guo Luoluo's daughter to be married here, Rong Yu is inconvenient to show up, and they have breakfast in the room alone before meeting with Rong Xin and the others in the front hall.

Rong Yu didn't ride a horse this time, but was called into a carriage by Rong Xin.

"Rong Yu, congratulations to you for being admitted to Juren."

Rong Yu sat up slightly cautiously, and immediately shook his head when he heard the words: "Rong Yu has received the gift from aunt and likes it very much."

Money, they can save money now, but there are good things. Rong Xin is inconvenient to give it to Rong Yu, so he chose a good inkstone that is not very eye-catching.

Rong Xin saw that he really liked it, so he raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked, "I just found out that you have a wedding date. Has the wedding date been set?"

My grandmother and my parents would like to hold it when you are free, so please come."

Rong Xin wrapped her fingers around Dongzhu's pigtails, and after a while, she nodded and said, "You just decide, let me know when I have time, and I will come when I have time."

A smile appeared on Rong Yu's face, "If the family knew about it, they would be very happy."

"Whose family does the girl belong to?" Rong Xin showed a little curiosity and asked with concern, "Did your father choose it?"

Rong Yu bowed his head a little shyly, "My father made it, Mr. Zheng's granddaughter of the academy, named Zheng Shuyu."

"Mr. Zheng..." Most of the academy's Mr. Rong Xin had an impression. After a little thought, he asked, "But that Mr. Zheng from Henan?"

"Exactly."

Rong Xin looked at Jingxi uncertainly and asked, "I remember that this gentleman used to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy?"

"Yes, Zheng Chunran, a jinshi in the early years, is pedantic and does not know how to adapt. He has not been promoted in the Hanlin Academy for several years, but he is very knowledgeable.

"Mr. Zheng has three sons and one daughter. The eldest daughter's husband is Peng Taiping, the chief of the Zuo Temple of Zhengliu Pin Dali Temple. The mediocre is almost in his thirties, but he is only admitted to the scholar."

Jing Xi looked at Rong Yu, "As far as I know, Mr. Zheng's eldest daughter is quite strong, and she is a bit snobby, often pointing fingers at her parents' family affairs, can you be satisfied with your future niece-in-law? "

"This..." Rong Yu glanced at Rong Xin, and said honestly, "Rong Yu met Mrs. Peng once before the marriage was confirmed, and he did treat me in a normal manner. The two met again when they got engaged. , it's a bit better than before."

As soon as Rong Xin saw Rong Yu's expression, he guessed that his knowledge was not as good as Jingxi, and asked him if he couldn't ask why, so he asked Jingxi directly: "Then Mr. Zheng's eldest son is an official How? What about this Lord Peng being an official?"

Jingxi nodded affirmatively, "Mr. Zheng is such a person, he also attaches great importance to character when teaching his son to choose a son-in-law. ."

Of course, this family background does not include Rong Xin.

Rong Xin's attitude towards the Rong family has always been that she will give some help, but she still depends on her own future, not someone who tries her best to help her mother's family.

Rong Sheng must have thought about it, so he never thought of borrowing Rong Xin to climb higher, he just chose Mr. Zheng, who has a little family background, but is not surprising in the capital.

As for the eldest daughter of the Zheng family, as long as the man in charge of the family is upright, she will not cause any trouble.

Then, Rong Xin smiled at Rong Yu: "You are married to the Zheng family daughter, Mr. Zheng will definitely teach you everything, you need to know how to be grateful, and treat your wife better in the future."

Rong Yu assured: "Aunt, don't worry, Rong Yu will not be such a conscienceless person."

Whether his guarantee is trustworthy or not will be known in the future, at this time Rong Xin just nodded slightly.

This is where the tenants usually pay their rent.

There is also a room dedicated to storing the books that Rong Xin copied one after another for the students to copy.

As soon as Rong Xin and others entered the yard, one person walked out of the side hall, it was Rong Sheng.

Rong Sheng bowed slightly to Rong Xin, "Sister, I thought you might come over yesterday, so I waited here early."

After Rong Sheng asked Rong Xin, he turned to Jing Xi and bowed, "Greetings to the King of Xi County."

Jing Xi saw Rong Xin's face, flipped the fan in her hand, grabbed it upside down, and gave him a free hand, which should be a return salute.

Rong Sheng led them in, Rong Yu walked beside his father and asked curiously, "Have you seen the Prince of Xi?"

"The prince came to our house, but you came back late and didn't see you."

At this time, two students appeared at the door of the study. One of them was also on the mountain yesterday. When Rong Yu saw him, he resigned from his father and aunt and went to talk to his classmates.

Rong Xin came here today for business, so he just went into the house to teach Dongzhu to drink a glass of water, and then went around this place with Jingxi.

My aunt went back to her mother's house today, and I heard that there is also an aunt in your family, and I want to invite her up the mountain for a talk."

Rong Xin raised her eyebrows, "Is my business spread to my relatives so quickly?"

Rong Yu came over and said, "Auntie, what happened on the mountain yesterday has been spread in the academy, so..."

Rong Xin suddenly realized, turned to Jingxi, isn't the culprit here?

Jingxi was not ashamed at all, and said against the guest: "The king of this county is traveling with the aunt of the Rong family, there is no reason to go up the mountain to see your aunt, ask her to come down the mountain, and also ask your husband The family and the young lady came down the mountain to recognize their relatives."

If you follow filial piety, Rong Xin should actually go up the mountain to visit her parents, but she glanced at Dongzhu and didn't refute Jingxi's words, just instructed Rong Sheng: "Don't disturb your father and mother, Rong Yu knows The address of the county king's village, I will invite someone in a while, just go directly to the county king's village."

My sister has a special status, Rong Sheng didn't feel anything wrong with this matter, and agreed immediately.

Rong Xin and Jingxi went back to his Zhuangzi together, on the way, Jingxi shook his fan and said, "It's unreasonable to keep your identity from your future niece-in-law and her family. When I see my future niece-in-law, I can use this to deter anyone who can cause trouble, killing two birds with one stone."

"The king is thoughtful."

Dongzhu hid, and he poked again, just as Rong Xin said the word "Junior King" to stop it, she saw Dongzhu suddenly open her mouth and bite down at Jingxi's hand.

Jingxi's skills and reactions naturally quickly avoided, and Dongzhu missed a hit and found that he did not continue to touch her things, so he gradually calmed down in Rongxin's arms, and resumed She lowered her head and immersed herself in her own world.

"The king." Rong Xin hugged Dongzhu, patted her on the back to soothe her emotions, and disapproved at Jingxi, "Gege is not familiar with you, how can you touch her? thing?"

Jingxi touched her nose with a guilty conscience, and said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect her to react so violently..."

Rong Xin glared at Jingxi lightly, and put Dongzhu on the other side of her, farther away from Jingxi.

Dongzhu is rarely like this in Yuqing Palace, and now, Dongzhu has a much higher tolerance for familiar people, and it is rare, but it is not that it has never happened, so everyone They are very patient with her, and seldom provoke her on purpose.

This is the first time this has happened in more than a year.

"Cough." Jingxi coughed, but failed to attract Dao Dongzhu's attention, and said in a softer voice, "I have a collection of Qianyuan copper fire guns, there are four A hundred years of history, I give it to you, let's write it off?"

Rong Xin asked suspiciously, "Why does the prince collect this thing?"

"The ethos brought by the big brother, many nobles in Beijing are willing to collect one or two firearms, but it is a pity that this thing is strictly controlled by the court, and it is easy to get it."

His smug face seemed to show off that he could have something that others didn't have, Rong Xin deliberately smirked, "Then I have thanked the county king for Gege, when will it be delivered? "

Jingxi said cheerfully: "I will give it to you when I return to the city, but this thing can't be sent to the palace, right?"

"The king of the county is dedicated to the emperor, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

Kangxi's attitude towards the prince is quite subtle now, but to the grandsons, he is like a kind grandfather. Small things will naturally be accepted.

Today they got up earlier than usual, and it was only noon when they returned to Zhuangzi. Guo Luoluo found out that it was a little strange that they came back so early. Arranged hospitality, very knowledgeable about the world.

Jingxi looked at her niece's back, and said after a long time: "If the emperor refers to her as a clan next to her, then everything will really go well in her life, Brother Eight..."

Rong Xin listened, and said lightly: "Since you are clear, don't indulge too much, otherwise she will suffer."

"It's different." Rong Xin pulled the hair down from Dongzhu's temples behind her, "Guo Luoluoge is asking not only for the backyard, but also forcing my eighth brother to give up. Many, of course he can't respond."

Care what the world thinks of him?

Guo Luoluo came back not long after, Rong Xin and Jingxi didn't say any more, they naturally skipped this matter, and talked about some messy content at will, until the concierge came to report, Rong Sheng And the Zheng family arrived.

Rong Xin first asked Guo Luoluo to take Dongzhu to the side hall to play, and then Jingxi ordered someone to welcome the guests in.

Mr. Zheng is an elder, Rong Xin did not really sit there and wait for people to visit like Jingxi, but got up and greeted the guests when they appeared in front of the hall .

The image of Zheng's family is not too different from what Rong Xin imagined after please Jingxi finished the general situation.

Mr. Zheng has very deep decree lines and always has a stern face, extremely serious; Rong Sheng's future father-in-law, Zheng Erye, has a honest and honest face, and his expression is restrained;

As for the aunt of the Zheng family, she is dressed in silk and satin, with a bead hairpin on her head and body, but with Rong Xin's eyesight, only one hairpin is a popular style in the capital recently.

As soon as she came in, she looked at Rong Xin and Jingxi back and forth, and then before anyone noticed, she looked at the surrounding environment and the servants, obviously she was shrewd.

Rong Xin glanced at them when they were chatting, then looked at two strange girls, skipping one of them who looked like Aunt Zheng's, and looked at the other beautiful little girl The girl said, "Is this a girl from the Zheng family?"

Rong Sheng also brought his wife and two sons to visit his elder sister. At this time, Mrs Ye smiled and replied, "Sister has good eyesight, this is the girl from the Zheng family."

When she finished speaking, Rong Xin took Zheng Shuyu's hand, looked at her softly and smiled, "We are very lucky to have such a well-informed fiancee."

Rong Xin did not leave another girl behind, and asked her identity along the way, praised her again, gave the two of them the gifts she prepared temporarily, and invited everyone to sit down.

The aunt of the Zheng family was not as arrogant as Rong Yu said at this time, but with a smile on her face, she said affectionately: "I have never heard my wife say that there is an aunt in the family before, I don't know. you are…"

She said and looked at Jingxi, obviously guessing the relationship between the two.

Jingxi hasn't moved since everyone came here. At this time, after listening to her words, she turned to Rong Yu and asked, "You didn't tell your in-laws about your sister's identity?"

Rong Sheng replied: "Without getting the approval of my sister, it is naturally inconvenient to spread the word. Before I came to visit, I only told Mr. Zheng that my sister is the owner of the yard rented to the students and families at the foot of the mountain."

Mr. Zheng has always been neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the King of Xi County, Rong Sheng said, but he praised Rong Xin: "You are a woman, you have such great kindness, and you don't publicize and seek fame, really rare."

Rong Xin also respects this kind of elder who is united in virtue, so he humbly said: "Mr. Zheng has won the prize."

"The house at the foot of Mount Renzhao belongs to Aunt Rong?!" Aunt Zheng was very surprised, and then smiled even more brilliantly, "Hey, I really didn't expect, why did my in-laws always If you don't say it, the Rong Zheng family will soon get married, so why can't you say it?"

Mr. Zheng glanced at his daughter with a calm expression, and when she calmed down and straightened her back, he asked Rong Xin, "Some of the books you provide for the students to copy are only in the Hanlin. I saw it in the hospital, where did you get it?"

Rong Xin said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng has a wide range of books, and the younger generation admires it, and the younger generation does not hide it from you. Some books are indeed borrowed from the Hanlin Academy."

Mr. Zheng looked at her inquiringly, "Who are you to borrow books from the Hanlin Academy?"

Others of the Zheng family also looked at her in amazement when they heard the old man's words.

Rong Xin smiled mildly, and was about to speak when she heard the scripture from the main seat: "There is a female official surnamed Rong in the palace, who is quite famous in Beijing, and it is the one in front of you. "

"Rong female officer?!"

Rong Xin listened to these ensembles, she was very speechless at Jingxi's behavior of robbing words, but she smiled and said: "The prince has said too much, it's not worth it."

The Zheng family's eyes were faintly excited, among them, the Zheng family's auntie was the most, and Mr. Zheng was the most special.

"So, the yard and the book at the foot of the mountain are all made by His Royal Highness?!" Mr. Zheng stood up excitedly, took two steps back and forth, and knelt down in the direction of the capital. "His Royal Highness is very kind and kind, the blessing of the world!"

However, after Mr. Zheng was helped by Rong Yu and sat down again, he was still praising the prince's virtue with a face full of piety.

Rong Xin's eyes signaled Jing Xi to restrain the smile on his face, and immediately raised his forehead. He really didn't expect this old gentleman to be a fanatical admirer of the Prince.
