First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 119 Beware
Wen Sheng's favorite pattern was indeed not in the original place. It took a long time for the ginkgo to be found after digging through the boxes and cabinets. She didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried back after handing the things to Xi'er.

When she tiptoed into the door, she was shocked by the chill that hit her face—the window that she had clearly closed earlier was now half open, and the cold wind blew in unscrupulously, and the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a lot.

Ginkgo was so frightened that her face turned pale, she hurried up and closed the window, and went to see Guan'er in the crib.

The little guy was sleeping soundly, the quilt was kicked to his feet by her, his chubby little face was rosy and tender, and it was not affected at all.

Ginkgo touched her forehead in fear, and after confirming that everything was as usual, she collapsed on the ground and let out a long breath. She stretched out her hand to her back, and her close-fitting clothes were already wet...

@@@@@@@@@
The banquet lasted from noon to evening.

During the period, Du Rongzhi ran into her eldest aunt Song Yun a few times. The latter acted indifferently. Although she was not as close as an ordinary aunt, she didn't say any harsh words anymore. Du Rongzhi laughed it off. Never mind.

It was later that she finally found time to talk to Mrs. Du.

"That kid Guan'er looks really good, much stronger than when I saw it last time." Madam Du said, looked Du Rongzhi's eyes with a smile, and said with satisfaction, "I see that you are getting fatter too, but you are It looks better."

Du Rongzhi was intimidated by Nanny An at noon, and now she was unhappy after hearing Madam Du's words, she pouted and said, "Where do you look good? I can't wear all the clothes I used to wear... They are so ugly! "

"Look at your hypocrisy!" Mrs. Du laughed and scolded, "It's good to be fat... Only women who are round and beautiful are blessed!"

Du Rongzhi curled her lips disapprovingly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked meanly, "Could it be that my father said this?"

Madam Du was taken aback for a moment, then blushed with embarrassment, stretched out her hand and slapped Du Rongzhi, and spat in a low voice, "What are you talking about, brat? I think you owe it to me again!"

Du Rongzhi laughed coquettishly, and said coquettishly, "I just ask casually, mother will be annoyed..." Just as he was talking, he saw Xiangru, who was beside the lady, walked over quickly, smiling happily and said, " Young Madam, the banquet is about to begin, Madam invites you to come over."

Du Rongzhi nodded slightly, and said to Mrs. Du, "Then my daughter will go first."

Mrs. Du nodded, "Just keep busy with your work, come and talk when you have time."

Du Rongzhi responded, and then led a group of girls and daughters-in-law towards the eldest lady.

………………

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere in the flower hall became lively.

Du Rongzhi was toasting with the eldest lady from table to table before, and after the turn around, the eldest lady went to find a familiar lady to talk and joke, while Du Rongzhi was stopped by the young ladies headed by Mrs. Cen, and they toasted her in turn .

Du Rongzhi has just confinement, her body is still recovering, the flagon is only filled with white water.They didn't mind seeing it, they just brought flower carvings to pay respects, Du Rongzhi couldn't resist, so they all drank one by one.

Everyone saw that she had an amiable smile and no airs, and they were all happy, especially the family members of the low-ranking officials who were rarely able to get in touch with the Duke's Mansion, regardless of whether they belonged to this table or not, they all brought wine glasses over. fun.Among them, Mrs. Jiang, the wife of Mr. Liu, Song Zixun's colleague in the Imperial Academy, didn't know whether she was drunk or accidentally spilled half a glass of wine on Du Rongzhi's body with a shake of her hand.

Madam Liu's expression changed in fright, she hurriedly put down her wine glass and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, only to see that Qing He had already stepped forward to wipe it for Du Rongzhi.Jiang could only hold the handkerchief and watched nervously, her slightly rough pretty face suddenly flushed red.

Relying on her own status, Mrs. Cen has always disdained to make friends with women from low-income families. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but cast a disgusted glance at Mrs. Jiang, and was about to speak, but Du Rongzhi smiled and said, "I'm just worried that I can't think of a way to get out. , now it’s all right.” As he spoke, he blinked his eyes mischievously at Cen, and said deliberately, “Sister Jiang still loves me, unlike Sister Cen, who likes to tease people, causing me to drink a lot of water tonight. I can't even tell the pain."

"Damn! Let's drink and you drink water. We've earned a lot of money all night and still have the face to say you're a good boy here! See if I'll spare you!" Cen cursed with a smile, rolling up her sleeves as if to pinch Du Rongzhi's mouth.

Du Rongzhi was so frightened that she repeatedly begged for forgiveness, and her charming appearance made everyone laugh again, and even the previous unpleasantness disappeared in an instant.

Seeing that the atmosphere was warming up again, Du Rongzhi smiled and said, "Sisters and sisters, drink first, and I'll come back when I go back and change my clothes." After saying that, he led the girl out of the flower hall.

Outside the house is still fiery trees and silver flowers, as bright as day.

Du Rongzhi pulled the cloak on her body and said with a smile, "The room was very stuffy just now, let's go back along the lake to get some air."

Qing He and Yuan Yuan smiled and said yes, and each of them walked ahead with a lamp to light the way.

Colorful flowers bloomed in the sky from time to time, reflecting dazzling colors on the frozen lake, and the sound of cups being exchanged and interlaced at the banquet in front of me could be faintly heard, as if the air was filled with intoxicating ecstasy. booze...

The entire Duke's Mansion was enveloped in joy and peace.

Du Rongzhi watched quietly, feeling a little dazed——

Parents are healthy, husband and wife live in harmony, have children... Such a life was something she never dreamed of in her previous life.

But now, she has it all.

She will protect everything she has, and she wants more...

"How many red plum trees are there in front, young madam, do you want a hairpin to wear?" Yuan Yuan, who was lighting up the lamp in front, turned her face and asked with a smile.

Du Rongzhi came back to her senses, and smiled at her, "That's fine." She thought for a while, and then said, "Qinghe, let's go together. Fold a few plum blossoms that are in good shape, and take them back to put in a vase."

Qing He hesitated for a while, "But you alone..."

"I'm not a three-year-old child, can I get lost in my own garden?" Du Rongzhi smiled, "You go, I'll wait for you here."

Only then did Qing He feel relieved, "Then just wait for a while, we'll come as soon as we go." Saying that, she followed Yuan Yuan and walked quickly towards the plum tree.

Du Rongzhi simply walked along the path in the garden.

The busy maids and women around saw her and saluted one after another, Du Rongzhi nodded and smiled and continued walking.

When she realized that there was no one coming and going around her, she realized that she had gone a long way, and now she was clearly on the way to Fangfeiyuan...

Du Rongzhi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and was about to return the same way, but suddenly heard a few shrill cat meows from the bushes, she was slightly startled, and before she could react, she saw a dark thing suddenly Sprinted past.

Du Rongzhi was so frightened that Huarong turned pale, and instinctively stepped back, but unexpectedly got caught by the corner of her skirt, and she uncontrollably leaned back——

"Be careful!" A familiar exclamation came from the ear.

The next moment, Du Rongzhi fell into the other's firm and warm embrace.
