Chapter 404 Sophora Bread

The imperial seal to Xiuxiu was issued along with the dowry, and she has been the second-rank wife of Ru'an County since then.

Xiuxiu thanked her for her kindness, and was mixed with joy and worry.

At night, Changying accompanied her for dinner, she tapped a bamboo shoot in sesame oil in front of her with her teeth and then stopped moving.

"What's wrong?" Changying asked.

Xiuxiu looked at her: "Ling Dang, how are the pirates in the south doing?"

Changying paused, and said, "It's still fighting. That pirate is very cunning, and it won't be clear for a year or so. You can rest assured and wait for the birth, don't worry about anything else."

Xiuxiu didn't say anything, but she didn't move her chopsticks either.

Returning to the room after dinner, Changying called Zixiang over, "How is Xiuxiu?"

Zixiang said: "It looks pretty good, but I spend too much time alone in silence. I always feel that she probably has a guess."

Changying rubbed his forehead.

Ever since Rongyin's accident happened, she asked everyone to tell Xiuxiu that Rongyin went to fight in the south, first she said to fight the rebels, then after the rebels were done, she said to go to fight pirates, no matter what, she wanted to delay the matter until the child was born Look for another chance to talk to her.

But with more and more people coming to the mansion recently, she can't completely prevent her from contacting outsiders. It's really hard to say whether this matter can be kept secret until the child is born.

Although Xiuxiu didn't give herself and Rong Yin any chance since she left the Rong family, and there is no saying that she harmed Rong Yin, but after all, Rong Yin left the Fu family because of her.

And obviously, although the two of them have no intersection, they have still developed a tacit understanding in the past four years. If she hears something, with her temperament that she never wants to owe anyone a favor, why not stop it immediately?

Changying pondered for a while, then said, "Liang Feng said how long is the delivery?"

"At least half a month."

In less than ten days, she will have to enter the palace. If she is not in the mansion, it is even more difficult to say whether this matter can be guarded.

"I can only tell Liang Feng and Wen Po, let them unify and not let her out of the inner courtyard." She made up her mind.

Although it was difficult to do so, if the news got out, she was really not sure if she could control the consequences.

Zixiang nodded.

The next day, looking empty, Changying took Zixiang to Rong's house.

Rong Jian and his wife waited at the door early, and accompanied her to the Qingliu Hospital.

Qingliuyuan is the closest courtyard to where the old man of the Rong family lived.

"My father used to be the strictest towards my second younger brother, always resenting him for being unruly and undisciplined. After Liu Zi'ang's incident happened, my father wanted to drive him out of the house for a while, and then there was talk of dividing the mansion.

"But this time after Brother Yin's accident, my father didn't say anything, and he was the one who couldn't let go of him the most. Maybe this is the mood of 'Strict Father'."

Rong Jian said with a warm smile.He added: "I always remember when I was young, my father once said that the combined achievements of our brothers are not as good as Brother Yin alone. It can be seen that this old father's heart is actually partial."

Changying stopped under the gate of the courtyard and said with a smile: "Grandpa Rong has a unique vision. Although he hates iron, he knows what kind of person does what kind of thing."

Rong Jian is the head of the Rong family, and the Rong family has indeed not had any mistakes in his hands these years, and it can even be said that the reputation of the family is still growing—of course, Rong Yin, the great general, also has credit, but in the end When it comes to the Rong family, the old house in the east of the city will always be mentioned first, which shows that it is not insulting.

Hearing these words, Rong Jian knew that he was trying to save face, so he smiled and waved his hands: "Go in and talk."

It was early summer, and a tree of pagoda trees in the yard was in full bloom. The thick trunk was rough and natural, and it could be seen that the well-groomed courtyard was simple and quiet.

Under the verandah, there was a young girl washing Sophora japonica flowers with her sleeves rolled up. Her gentle and tranquil appearance turned out to be Rong Biru, who had always been violent and aggressive.

"Sister." Madam Rong called out to her, winking.

Rong Biru raised his head and looked at Changying.

Changying looked at her who was thinner, and felt a little guilty in her heart.

On a big scale, Rong Yin was lured by Fu Rong to Fu's house to seek great things for Yang Su, and also to seek justice for Ling Yan; on a small scale, it was also to save Xiuxiu and her children. No matter which one of the few people involved is related to her .

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Wash Sophora japonica, make Sophora japonica cake."

Sophora japonica cake is a kind of pasta in Northwest China. Changying used to eat it a lot. Rong Biru was surprised to make this. "You can do it?"

"I wouldn't do it at first, but I've consulted people from the northwest, it sounds like it's not difficult to do." Rong Biru said.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​making this to eat?" Changying asked her again.

Rong Biru slowed down, holding a dustpan full of washed Sophora japonica flowers, looked at Changying and said, "In this world, there are many things and things that I haven't seen. Everything that I haven't seen, I want to get to know each other.”

She, who used to be as shallow as a mountain stream, now speaks with profound meaning.

Madam Rong smoothed things over: "Sister Ru, go and wash your hands."

Rong Biru left.

"It's really a girl's eighteenth change. I haven't seen her for a while, and she's getting more provocative." Changying turned to Madam Rong.

Rong Biru was several years younger than her, and the two were not playmates when they were young, and Chang Ying could be considered to have watched Rong Biru grow up.

Mrs. Rong sighed: "It's just a pity that we wait until after the mourning and come out to say goodbye. It's only seventeen or eighteen."

After finishing speaking, thinking that Changying was not too young, she finally got married with Yang Su, and hurriedly fell silent again, trying to find a topic to divert.

Changying smiled and said, "Girls who are loved by others will not be too unlucky."

Whenever Rong Biru's siblings are in the old house, they are always taken care of by Rong Jian and his wife, and the siblings are always cared for.

Madam Rong couldn't help laughing: "You can really talk."

Changying responded with a smile, then raised her eyes to look at the quiet main room.

Maybe it was because the meeting with Rong Biru wasn't too pleasant, and the courtyard was so quiet that even under such joking, it still couldn't feel warm.

The scene of Rong Yin falling into a pool of blood that day is still vivid in his memory, this is a scene that Chang Ying will never forget.

Changying felt that she should go to the next door to meet the old man of the Rong family first. At this time, the door opened, and Rong Yan came out of the room with a book in hand.

"Sister Shen." Rong Yan bowed to them respectively, and then looked at Changying with warm eyes: "Elder sister makes Sophora japonica cakes, I think my father suddenly mentioned this last night, I think, Eldest sister is going to make it for him to eat .”

Changying's hand on Zixiang's wrist tightened suddenly: "Can Uncle Rong chew?"

"Not yet." Rong Yan said, "Whether you can eat it or not, maybe Eldest Sister still wants to give it a try. Eldest Sister is just having trouble with herself, and with her father, and she is not blaming anyone. Sister Shen doesn't have to take it to heart."

Changying looked at him for a while with clear eyes, and then thought that although Rong Yin couldn't chew, he could actually talk, which was also a remarkable change.

Then he said, "Why did he mention Sophora japonica cake? What else did he say?"

"There's nothing else. Actually, I'm not sure if it's about pagoda cakes, because the voice is quite vague. It's just that the elder sister said that she had seen her father eat it often, so she decided it was what she was talking about."

Hearing this, Changying raised her eyes and looked at the main room opposite.
