First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 158 But eating a lot of sugar

In the evening, Du Rongzhi chatted with Song Zixun, and the topic came to Aunt Zhong before he knew it.

"I thought that my third aunt's sister would be two years older than me, but I just found out today that my aunt and I are of the same age." Du Rongzhi poured a cup of tea and put it on Song Zixun's handy table, "Master today Can you see my aunt? Do you think she looks like Third Aunt?"

Song Zixun turned the pages of the book without raising his head, and said, "I don't really remember... Aunt Zhong was born by the third aunt's later mother, so it's nothing unusual even if she doesn't look alike."

Du Rongzhi curled her lips, "I think their eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar. But my aunt's facial features are weaker, what do you think?"

Song Zixun took a sip of tea casually, "Probably... I didn't pay attention."

Sometimes he really doesn't understand women's enthusiasm for gossip... But it's rare for her to take the initiative to talk to him, so he reluctantly listens to it.

But Du Rongzhi didn't know what was going on in his heart, she put her chin in both hands, and said excitedly, "I overheard my third aunt telling my mother today that I seem to want to talk to my aunt about getting married in the capital..."

Song Zixun finally raised his head from behind the book and took a look at Du Rongzhi.

Her nails had just been dyed, and each piece was crystal clear and pink, and her neat little face became more and more like white jade.

He picked up the scroll and tapped it gently on Du Rongzhi's head, "But you've been too busy lately? You dare to talk about elders' affairs."

Du Rongzhi frowned and rubbed her head, and said guiltily, "I'm just telling you... it's because I care about my aunt."

Song Zixun raised his eyebrows and squinted at her, but he still followed her words and said, "The situation of the Zhong family has not been very good these years, and there have not been many capable children in the clan... The third aunt loves her sister eagerly, and wants to give my aunt It makes sense to find a good family." Song Zixun paused, "After all, it's the elder's business, so don't meddle in it."

"The concubine knows." Du Rongzhi nodded, pondered for a while and then wondered, "The Zhong family is a well-known and prominent family in Sheng'an, but it has been in decline for these years, so can't they even find a decent marriage?"

Song Zixun glanced at her indifferently, "Why are you so concerned about your aunt?"

Du Rongzhi was startled, and quickly laughed, "The third aunt has always been very kind to my concubine, and now her sister is here, and she is about the same age as my concubine, and she speaks the same words, so naturally she pays more attention to it." Du Rongzhi paused , "With the appearance of my aunt, I don't know what kind of husband I want to find."

Song Zixun couldn't help laughing, "Judging from your tone, it sounds like you want to kiss your aunt."

Du Rongzhi pouted, and said coquettishly, "Sir, don't laugh at my concubine... Don't say that my aunt's marriage can't be said by me, even if I can, where can I find such a good person?" She said She bent her lips and said with a doggy face, "After thinking about it, this concubine only recognizes me as a young and talented master."

There was a slight smile on the woman's face, she was playful and charming, and Song Zixun thought about it, he stretched out his hand to wrap her in his arms, and asked seriously, "Did you eat a lot of candy today?" Seeing Du Rongzhi Dazed, he continued, "The mouth is so sweet."

"Isn't that right?" Du Rongzhi pursed her lips and smiled, "The shop brought some new candy, which is extremely sweet... Please try it some other day." After saying that, she wanted to get up from his arms.

Song Zixun leaned down first, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, just today."

Du Rongzhi was taken aback for a moment, but before he could react, his lips were already caught.

But Zhong Yutang came to the Duke's mansion, because of his beautiful appearance and gentle temperament, he quickly won the favor of the whole family, and he is easy-going and open-minded, so amiable, even the girls below love to be close to him .

The third wife also loves this half-sister very much. Later, whenever someone invites someone or holds a banquet at home, she will bring Zhong Yutang by her side and spare no effort to introduce it to the wives and wives of the whole family. Finding a solid and reliable offspring for the younger sister in the family can be regarded as living up to the earnest entrustment of the parents.

Every time Du Rongzhi saw Zhong Yutang dressed up beautifully, quietly and decently following behind the three wives, smiling and saying hello to each of the wives, and accepting their scrutiny, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her. The third lady sighed.

Among these intricate families in the capital, which ones have not cultivated like human beings... For a family like Zhong Yutang, those with a better background would disdain to marry the Zhong family who is dying in the west, and those who are worse, how could Zhong Yutang, whose heart is higher than the sky, let it go? In the eyes?The more enthusiastic the third wife is in planning for her younger sister, the more she will imperceptibly encourage her desire to climb up...

When Zhong Yutang got used to the days of being drunk and bewitching and beckoning to her servants, but found that no one who was capable enough to provide all these was willing to marry her, her eyes would naturally fall on the men of the Song family...

Du Rongzhi was thinking endlessly, but the sedan chair suddenly stopped.

Du Rongzhi came back to her senses, "But Debaoxuan is here?"

"Not yet." Qing He said from outside the curtain, "The government is taking people up front, our sedan chair has to wait for a while—" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly let out a "huh".

Du Rongzhi could also hear her surprise, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Qing He hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "This servant just watched, the two people guarded by the yamen guard look familiar, they look... like the two I met in Xiangyuexuan last time."

Xiangyuexuan?
Isn't that...

Du Rongzhi took a pause and hurriedly opened the curtain to look out.

On the avenue, a team of yamen servants was escorting two young men forward.One of them was the drunk man who had verbally assaulted her in Xiangyuexuan earlier, he turned his head and said something to the yamen servants angrily, but was pushed hard by the leader, He staggered and was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by his companion—that companion was undoubtedly Zhou Zhonglin.

Seeing that the spring is approaching, if he doesn't hurry up and study hard, why does he get into trouble with officials at this juncture?

Du Rongzhi thought for a while, and ordered, "Go ahead and inquire about what happened to the two of them."

Qing He hurriedly replied yes, and after a while, she turned back, "Returning to Mrs. Young's words... the servant girl asked a few people just now, it seems that the young man who was drunk last time committed a murder in his hometown... today He was recognized by the relatives of the deceased, and he was going to take him back to pay for his life."

Du Rongzhi frowned, "That week—what happened to the other son?"

"I didn't find out about the specific slaves either," Qing He shook her head, "I only heard that they were also involved in the case, and they will be escorted back to their original places."

Du Rongzhi let out a "huh", looked thoughtfully at the team of yamen servants who were drifting away, put down the curtain and said, "Let's go."
