Female Official In the East Palace: Chapter 123
Rong Xin has already guarded the first seven of Qi mama, but Qi mama is still in the village, the incense can not be broken, she also has the responsibility of taking care of Gu Suma Lagu and the twelve elder brothers , Finally, the hatchback was measured, so I chose to run back and forth, stay in the village at night, and return to the palace during the day.
Rong Xin was not in the village during the day, and he could not keep the guards in the village, so he asked the neighbor Xu for help.
There is a little girl in the Xu family, named Sanni, she is fourteen years old this year. Mother and a younger brother, she couldn't let go of the house, and she refused to propose a marriage occasionally.
Rong Xin also saw that this little girl was having a hard time at home. She was also kind and strong, so when she asked for help, she went to the Xu family.
The villagers didn't know Rong Xin's identity. They only watched the two heroic descendants doing things respectfully before and after their lives, and guessed what kind of noble person she was from a big family. I don't know why they came to the village. Have a funeral.
work.
After observing for a few days, Rong Xin became more and more fond of the Xu family and Xu Sanni. In the evening, she wanted to do needlework by the candlelight here, and Rong Xin agreed to it, and even practiced embroidery. Give her a few pointers.
"Madam is amazing!"
In the eyes of the little girl's admiration, Rong Xinmu pointed to Qi Momo's coffin, and said gently: "The real powerful person is her old man, and I'm just pointing out a few words to you, If you really do needlework, you are not as delicate and meticulous as your child."
The tablet reads "Mother Qi Wanniang", which should be marked with her husband's surname. "Didn't Madam's mother teach you the craft?"
Rong Xin could still see the look on a little girl's face, but there was no need to explain the relationship between her and Qi Momo to Xu Sani.
Rong Xin only replied to Xu Sanni's question: "I am that kind of person who has the desire to learn but is stupid, and naturally cannot learn the essence."
The little girl is full of pity.
Rong Xin was funny, and said to her: "If you like it, it's okay to teach you something while you are free."
"Is it really possible?" Xu Sanni was excited, and immediately said, "If I learn this kind of embroidery, I can make money from it in the future. I shouldn't accept the salary that Madam said earlier. I need to honor you a little bit."
This is a very reasonable girl.
"One yard is one yard, and the salary is what your family deserves." Rong Xin said indifferently: "Besides, if there are thousands of skills in the world, if they are all hidden in their hands, they will eventually be lost. One day, I will teach you, and you will teach others later, and it will be passed down from generation to generation."
The best skilled craftsmen and the best embroiderers are all housed in the palace. These palace skills are different from those inherited from folk families. Rong Xin can't learn them, but it does not prevent her from teaching others.
There are not many many Sanni, maybe she will form her own faction in the future.
"It's just that you are young, don't burn your body, the gains outweigh the losses."
Xu Sanni studied very seriously, she even stayed with Rong Xin every night, just to learn a little more.
Rong Xin is not stingy, but whatever she knows, she will give it to her, no matter how much Xu Sanni can absorb in a short time, and whether it can be integrated, that is her fate in the future. .
Later Xu Sanni asked Rong Xin to "name her and her younger brother an elegant name". Rong Xin also agreed because of their short-lived mentorship.
Rong Xin had little experience, and after returning to the palace, she mentioned to Su Ma Lagu that Su Ma Lagu chose for her the "Si Wen", "Si Ask" and "Thinking" in "The Analects of Confucius". Bright".
My elder sister is Xu Siwen and my younger brother is Xu Siming.
Elder Twelve heard what the two said, hugged the book, and said unhappily: "Aunt Rong has been running around these days, and she has lost a lot of weight, how can she still spend energy to teach others? "
Su Malagu heard the words and said to Rong Xin, "You've been looking really bad recently, you need to do what you can."
Rong Xin touched her face and said with a smile: "At my age, I am running around like this, and I also stay up at night, and fatigue is common. After a good rest, I will be radiant again.”
"You pay more attention to yourself, think more about the prince, Madam Qi and your parents and relatives, don't spoil your body, and teach those who care about you to be distressed."
Brother Twelve also came over with his little hands behind his back, and said solemnly, "I also feel sorry for Aunt Rong, don't hurt Yinying's heart for irrelevant people."
He is an awkward and gentle child.
Rong Xin smiled and replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I can save it."
Elder Twelve nodded with satisfaction, and then asked curiously, "Are Aunt Rong's parents and relatives outside the palace? They have never heard of it."
Parents…
Rong Xin has not seen them for a long time, father Rong Da and mother Ding Shi are also old now, but Rong Sheng is filial, so they should enjoy their old age.
Last year, Rong Sheng's letter mentioned that his mother, Ding Shi, had a disease and was dying, but she was much older;
Rong Sheng said that the two talked about her more and more in recent years, and also taught Rong Sheng in the letter to ask her carefully if she could meet after returning from Zunhua...
In fact, Rong Xin was just living with them. Those things in the early years were not a big resentment, so she was not very resistant to satisfying the old people's late guilt and affection.
And all along, they are maintaining the appearance of a family harmony.
So, Rong Xin answered the question of the 12th brother very calmly: "It's outside the palace, but I've been in the palace for many years, so I can't see you easily."
The 12th brother immediately burst into tears and said: "I haven't seen Huang Ama for two years, and I miss my aunt. If I haven't seen my family for such a long time, will I forget her relatives? Appearance?"
Rong Xin heard the words, looked at Su Ma Lagu, and then replied: "Since they are relatives, no matter how long they are separated, they will be close to each other as soon as they meet."
Brother Twelve immediately smiled when he heard it, "Then Yinying should study hard, and when Huang Ama comes, he will find that Yinying is very diligent." After that, he stopped chatting, Go back and pick up the book and memorize it carefully.
Rong Xin and Su Ma Lagu left the study without disturbing him.
Aunt Su Mala sighed and said, "In this case, I can't teach Brother Twelve to stay with me in Xiaoling."
Rong Xin nodded and persuaded: "You have been here with the Empress Dowager for two years, why don't you go back together after the emperor visited the mausoleum?"
"Aren't you ready to go back to Beijing? I can't worry about leaving you alone."
"I was going to come here with Qi Momo too." Rong Xin took Su Malagu's arm and said with a smile, "You don't have to miss me, let's go at our own pace. It is."
Su Malagu thought for a moment and said, "If you have to take care of Brother Twelve and me, you don't have to rush around like this, I'll just go back to Beijing with the emperor."
"I have no intention of despising you."
Su Mala patted Rong Xin's hand, "I know, you still have to go to the village, leave early, don't be greedy."
Rong Xin glanced at the sky, and replied, "Please tell me to Brother Twelve, and I won't bother him."
"Good."
Rong Xin left the palace, and just two quarters of an hour after she walked, the prince led many guards to appear in the palace. He heard Su Malagu explain Rong Xin's whereabouts, without delay, and immediately chased after him.
The prince and others were riding fast, and they caught up with Rong Xin's carriage in less than half an hour, just meeting in the plum forest in front of the village.
Rong Xin got out of the carriage and immediately jumped down after seeing the prince, with a look of excitement on his face.
"Auntie!" The prince came to Rong Xin with a big stride, with the same excited expression, but he looked at Rong Xin a few times and frowned, "Aunt, why are you so haggard? I lost a lot of weight."
Rong Xin wanted to sigh that he had not seen each other for two years, the prince became taller and more handsome, after listening to his words, he immediately explained: "I have been a vegetarian for the past two years, and it is normal to be thin."
As for the haggard, Rong Xin directly ignored it and urged the prince: "Mother Qi's mourning hall is located in the village, let's go to the village, don't suffer the cold wind here."
The prince's intention was for Qi Momo, so he followed her wishes and personally helped his aunt get on the carriage.
This group of people entered the village, naturally attracted the attention of the villagers, even if they were all dressed in normal clothes, their aura also taught the villagers to feel extraordinary, and they hid at home and secretly looked at them .
"Have you seen the young man in front? He's really handsome..."
"The material on that body looks better than that of the county master. Maybe it came from Fucheng."
"I don't know who this person is. The orphan and widow mother of the Xu family really have a great luck."
"How can the big people take them seriously?"
"Even if you don't look at it, and the fingers are exposed, it is enough to chew."
“Tsk…”
Rong Xin and the prince went all the way to her small courtyard. As soon as the door was opened, they happened to meet Xu Sanni who had just helped burn the house down.
Xu Sanni never expected to see so many people, she was startled, and then she noticed the young man beside Rong Xin. Before her brain could react, her face turned red.
"Husband, madam..."
Rong Xin saw that her eyes kept peeking at the prince, and her voice was full of the cowardice of a young girl.
The prince heard that the young woman had been watching the incense for Qi Momo, so he politely bowed his hands and thanked him.
Xu Sanni was embarrassed to look at him at all, and waved her hands in a panic, "Young master is polite, little girls dare not take credit."
Seeing that she was at a loss, Rong Xin said to the prince: "You go first, I will have a few words with her."
The prince nodded slightly at the two of them, then turned around and entered the small courtyard, and went straight to Qi Momo's mourning hall. The rest of the guards were automatically divided into two, with one team staying in the hospital and the other guarding outside the hospital.
Xu Sanni also blushed and secretly glanced at the courtyard, Rong Xin took out a piece of paper from her arms and said to her: "This is the name you asked for earlier, I am both Written on paper."
"Madam..." Xu Sanni retracted her thoughts, took it with both hands, and thanked her repeatedly.
Rong Xin shook his head and said again: "I have to trouble you to help prepare some meals for my guards. It doesn't need to be rich, just full." Then, he took out a small piece of silver , and hand it to Xu Sanni.
There are dozens of them, and they have to eat a lot of food at one meal, Xu Sanni will not be swollen and fat.
But she held the piece of silver, her face blushed a little, and asked awkwardly: "Madam, what special explanation do you have for the dinner with that young master?"
Rong Xin smiled and said, "You don't have to be ours, he doesn't eat outside food, I cook it myself."
Xu Sanni couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes, but she didn't stop, and turned back home.
When Rong Xin entered the mourning hall, the prince had already finished offering the incense and was looking solemnly and sadly at the tablet of Qi Momo.
"It's a pity I didn't get to see Mammy for the last time."
"How can you be perfect? You can come, Qi Momo is already satisfied." With warm water on the stove, Rong Xin poured a cup and brought it to the prince, caring, "How is everything in Beijing? "
Prince nodded, paused, and said: "I told my aunt to suppress Suo'etu's arrogance, but because he presided over the peace, the matter was very important, so I didn't act for the time being. "
"It's time to take care of the overall situation." Seeing that the prince's expression was wrong, Rong Xin asked, "But there are other things?"
"Yes." Since the prince had already spoken, he was not ready to hide it, and replied directly, "I have always taught people to look at Suo Etu, and it is not surprising that he excludes dissent for a day or two. I just turned back and said that someone wanted to use your brother to have a relationship with me, so he gave your brother a lot of money."
Rong Xin lowered his face, "Rong Sheng received?"
"It wasn't your brother who took it. After your brother refused, someone took the path of your younger brother and sister." The prince saw that his aunt's face became more and more ugly, and added, "Actually, if you collect some small money, it is not a big deal. It's just that the number is too large now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your brother to end after the incident..."
"Whether he knows it or not, he can't even restrain the person next to him, so he has a negative commitment to me."
Seeing this, the prince tentatively asked: "If this is the case, can Aunt return to Beijing to deal with it as soon as possible?"
Rong Xin burst into laughter, "Are you waiting for me here?"
She saw it, and the prince did not hide it, and said directly: "That is your younger brother, if there is something, I will not be embarrassed on your face, but it is still up to you. It's more appropriate to deal with."
Rong Xin actually didn't believe that the prince could not solve it. After careful consideration, he shook his head and said, "If there is no important matter in the palace, I would like to stay for a few more days, and I hope the prince agrees."
Of course the prince couldn't force it, but now that he has entered the appearance of Rong Xin, he really can't let her stay in Zunhua like this, so he said again: "What if I have a child?"
"Prince Princess is pregnant?!"
The prince coughed and said seriously: "Song Yi is not pregnant. But I want it, maybe next month."
