Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 26 Tanabata ([-])

Mrs. Ma nodded lightly: "Since the master has said so, you can take Rong Ma back home and settle down! Go to Zhou Mama to get a set of bedding and two clothes. Rong Ma, you can be regarded as an old man who has stayed in the house for many years." Now, I know all the rules in the house, so I won't say more, take good care of my lady and do your duty, my wife will not treat you badly!"

"Yes, this old servant will follow Madam's instructions, and will not disappoint Madam." Rong Ma respectfully agreed, lowering her head slightly.

Ma Shi gritted his silver teeth secretly, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

"Mother, I brought all the fruits back. I'll pick a basket and send it to Zan'er. I'll let my mother decide to distribute the rest! This is a little bit of filial piety from Manager Yang. Said, please ask my daughter to say hello to father and mother on his behalf!" Yao Cunhui smiled and stood up.

"Okay, you go now! He has a heart!" Ma Shi said these words lightly without raising his eyelids.

Yao Cunhui backed away on knees, and took Rong Ma to pick the fruit, and sent it to Yao Shizan without mentioning it.

As for how angry Ma will be, and how she will settle accounts with Mother Wen, that's not her business.

When Rong's mother returned to Luomeiyuan, Hong Liao was stunned when she saw that it was her, and almost knocked over the basin in her hand!Crying and laughing in Rongma's arms, it was the first time Yao Cunhui saw her lose her composure.

Yao Cunhui's heart warmed, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile: It seems really right to invite Rong Ma back.

Rong's mother had red Polygonum to greet and arrange her, so Yao Cunhui first went to Mingfengxuan to visit Yao Shizan, and stayed with him for a while before returning to her own yard.

In the afternoon, guessing that everyone had woken up for naps, Yao Cunhui personally took Rong Ma to the Mao family, Yao Cunjia, Yao Cunmei and Mingfengxuan to say hello.Rong Ma recently returned home, so naturally she should go to say hello everywhere, this is in line with the rules of the family.

Mrs. Mao has been dissatisfied with Yao Cunhui for a long time now. Yao Cunhui thought that she would ignore her when she came to the door. Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Mao saw Rong's mother, his eyes lit up, as if he saw another chess piece that could stir up storms, his face was full They were all smiling, politely invited Yao Cunhui and Rong Ma into the room, sat and talked for a long time before letting them go.

Then when they arrived at Yao Cunjia's place, they naturally had another pleasant surprise for each other. It was inconvenient to say something private in front of others, but one look was enough to make each other understand.

At Yao Cunmei's place, she only greeted each other, and then retreated.

After coming out of Mingfengxuan, he returned to Luomei Courtyard, and changed to Red Polygonum and accompanied Mama Rong to several housekeeping mothers to say hello to each other. When Mama Rong returned to Luomei Courtyard, it was already time for dinner.

That night, Master Yao suddenly ordered his family to go to the main courtyard for dinner, and when Rong's mother came back, Yao Cunhui had already taken the red branches, so she had dinner with Rhizoma Polygonum, and then waited for Yao Cunhui to come back.

Rong Ma insisted on vigil, but Yao Cunhui let her go.

This night, the master and the servant talked for most of the night, but it was not something that should not be told to others, but something about recalling the past and feeling the passage of time.

Both of them are human beings, how could they not have expected that not only tonight, but also for countless nights, Hong Zhi would definitely come to listen to the corner, how could she let her listen so easily?

The next day, she sent Hong Zhi to the kitchen to rush for lunch. Seeing no one around, Rong Ma sighed to Yao Cunhui: "Second Miss, you have been wronged all these years! This house is not a place for a daughter like us to stay! Alas, if Madam is still here, how can someone despise Second Miss like this!"

Yao Cunhui suddenly smiled wryly, thinking that fortunately it's now, if you had seen it a few days ago, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to complain!
It looks so good now.

"Mother Rong, I don't care about these things. Besides, we won't go on like this forever, right?" Yao Cunhui's face was calm, and a pair of clear and bright eyes were softly and firmly fixed on Mother Rong. The self-confidence radiating from the inside out made people unable to help The spirit lifted.

"Yes, yes! It will definitely not go on like this forever! Second Miss, Rong Ma will help you, and Rong Ma will always stand by your side to help you." Rong Ma was both relieved and sad, and the gratified thing is that Second Miss has finally grown up Oh, what makes her sad is that she said such words at a young age, so you know how much she has suffered!

"I'm relieved to have Mama Rong's words!" Yao Cunhui raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, but was overwhelmed by Mama Rong's next words.

Rong Ma said: "Rong Ma will definitely help the young lady to choose a satisfactory husband, and make the young lady happy and healthy for the rest of her life, so that she will never suffer again!"

"Mother Rong," Yao Cunhui helped her forehead, and said seriously, "I still have Zan'er to protect, and I don't want to marry yet. Don't mention this matter, Mom Rong, okay?"

Rong's mother also looked at her seriously, nodded and sighed: "Second Miss, it's really hard for you! Don't worry, no matter what you do, Rong's mother will always stand by your side to support you and help you." Da Zhou's woman , Marriage is always late, not to mention that what Yao Cunhui said is also reasonable, Rong's mother didn't insist too much.

Although Master Yao dotes on Yao Shizan, but Mrs. Ma is different. Yao Shizan is still so young and grew up in the back house. If no one is watching closely, he will undoubtedly fall into the wolf's den. Madam Ma tolerates him and grows up safely. No wonder!
"Thank you, Mama Rong." Yao Cunhui was sincerely grateful.

Rong Ma sighed lightly, frowned, and said quietly: "Second Miss, your monthly allowance is not much, and you are being deducted every month, we have to find a way to solve it! Second Miss, here Surviving in a deep house and compound, two or three of us masters and servants are hard to be thorough no matter how careful we are, we must have money in our hands to do things well!"

Yao Cunhui suddenly realized that what Rong's mother said was right, if she didn't have money, she would give some sweets to the servants in the mansion from time to time, how could she build a good relationship with them?Not being able to establish a good relationship with the servants at all levels, not to mention not being able to get all kinds of news in time, and also lacking a lot of convenience, is equivalent to pushing everyone into Ma Shi's camp.

Just imagine, you don't have the slightest bit of benefit to others, why should they turn a blind eye and close one eye at the risk of offending Mrs. Ma when they are looking for convenience?Why do people need to tell you what news they got?

With money, there will be favors, and with favors, there will be convenience.All the servants in the deep house do not like gossip, and they have their own way to get and spread news. Maybe when these seemingly idle news can play a key role.

Red Polygonum is too honest, red branches are not available, Yao Cunhui is too conspicuous to deal with the servants by himself, and now there is Rong Ma, it is just perfect.With Mother Rong's skill, as long as she has enough funds for activities, she will definitely break out of the world very quickly!
The question is, where will the funds for this activity come from?You can't sell the jewelry left by your mother, right?

"This matter is not in a hurry, let's think about it slowly, Second Miss, don't worry too much." Seeing Yao Cunhui in a daze, thinking hard, Rong's mother couldn't help but feel distressed.

Yao Cunhui withdrew her thoughts, raised her eyes and said with a smile, "I see, Mama Rong can rest assured. I will find a solution!"

The master and the servant didn't talk for a long time, when they heard the voice of Polygonum chinensis laughing and greeting Hongzhi in the yard, they stopped talking and did not mention the meal.

Yao Cunhui did not expect that Yao Cunjia quietly sent the first campaign funds.A total of 20 taels, one ten taels of silver bills, and the other ten taels were thoughtfully replaced with scattered silver and copper plates for their convenience.

Holding the heavy money, Yao Cunhui's heart is also heavy. The elder sister is unknown, but she has been supporting her with all her strength. As for her, she doesn't even know what the danger she is going to face!Seeing the wedding day getting closer, Yao Cunhui became more and more uneasy.

In the twinkling of an eye, it’s Qixi Festival. This night, the entire capital city is a sea of ​​joy for all unmarried men and women. The girls all put on the most beautiful clothes, the most exquisite jewelry, eyebrow makeup, and powder, all dressed up beautifully. Go out and play together.

At that time, there will be a large activity place in the city, called Qiqiao City, with a market selling all kinds of Qiqiao items. Of course, there will be snacks, rouge powder, hairpins, fresh flowers, toys, etc. Selling stuff that girls like.

On the wide square, colorful flags and lanterns are hung everywhere, and there are Needle-Through Buildings and Qiqiao Buildings built by officials and businesses for people to "fight for skills". The lingering, the constant laughter.

In the center of the square, there is a huge big incense burner, in which famous incense is burned, green smoke curls up, and the fragrance is permeating. Thank you for being clever."The girls were joking with each other, teasing and asking each other about their wishes, and the sound of laughter came from far away.

This night, the ladies in Yao's mansion naturally would not let go of the excitement, and even the seven-year-old Yao Cunyun went to Qiqiao City to play under the leadership of Mao Shi.

Yao Cunjia is a woman who is about to get married, so she will not go.This was the last Qiqiao Festival held in the capital, Yao Cunjia smiled and promised Luhe, Luye and Yao Cunhui to go to have fun together, Luhe and Luye were overjoyed, so they got dressed early and came to Luomeiyuan to wait.

As soon as it was dark, Yao Cunjia went out with red Polygonum, red branches, green lotus and green leaves, bid farewell to Mrs. Ma, and took a carriage with Yao Cunmei, Ma Qunfang, their master and servant, Mrs. Mao and Yao Cunyun. Go to Qiqiao City.

Arriving in the city, the fragrance of makeup and powder wafted in the air in the dark night, and there was a sea of ​​people, with their shadows on their temples and their clothes fragrant, and the noise was like a tide. , I can't help but can't wait to join it.

"Second Aunt, my cousin and I will go to Nanshi to buy flowers first, how about you, Second Aunt?" Yao Cunmei didn't look at Yao Cunhui from the corner of her eyes, she just said to Mao.
