poisonous woman

Chapter 20
"Ah-choo--" Suddenly felt a cold wind blowing, Rong Zhao sneezed, which woke her up from the drowsiness, and she cursed silently in her heart, "Who dares to say that behind my back?" I speak ill of you! If you let me know, you will be cut into pieces!"

"Zhao Zhao!" A deep voice came from above his head, with a helpless tone, "Did you not sleep last night, okay? Why have you been yawning since you came here?"

Rong Zhao innocently looked at Lord Rong with the moisture left in the corners of his eyes when he yawned, "I slept well, but I feel confused when I read the Four Books and Five Classics. Father, do you think this book has a magical power?" , can hypnotize people."

Lord Rong sighed heavily, lifted up the book and knocked it on her head, he didn't use much force, he still held the measure, "Nonsense, if you say it like that, these thousands of students are all holding the four books The Five Classics are asleep, who still studies hard in the cold window?"

Rong Zhao blinked his eyes and nodded vigorously, expressing that he agrees with what Lord Rong said, but the tone of the words changed a little, "So I admire people who study, they don't know what kind of kung fu they have practiced, they can be invulnerable, and they can't be hurt. The hypnosis of books."

Lord Rong was defeated by this daughter, he shook his head helplessly, "Father knows why those teachers have left."

"Hee hee." Rong Zhao approached him with a playful smile, resting his head on his arm, "Father, don't be angry, in fact, you can just teach me what you want, just pass it by my ear and forget it. Mother I’ve said it all, a woman’s ignorance is virtue, why should I be so knowledgeable, take the number one prize?”

"Did she really tell you that?" Marquis Rong frowned unknowingly, so deeply that even the wrinkles on his forehead appeared.

Rong Zhao's lower eyelids formed a duck-colored shadow, his eyes flickered under his long eyelashes, and then he raised his head to stare at him, innocently saying: "Yes, mother said, as a woman, you have to marry sooner or later. It's not that you need to learn to be an official. On the contrary, it is not a good thing for a woman to learn more. If she reads a lot, she will have more thoughts and lack of virtue. Mother said that as long as a woman can know a few words, read well "Women's Rules" and "Women's Training" are very good."

"Nonsense!" Rong Hou slammed the book on the table directly, his chest heaved, and he seemed to be angry, "What a woman, narrow-minded. Also, all day long, he either fights with the people in the back house, or revolves around those few people. How can there be any vision if the account book is transferred."

No wonder my daughter has not improved so much in the past few years. It turns out that Mrs. Gao instilled these thoughts, making her think that women have no talent and virtue. Isn't this raising her daughter on a crooked path?
Seeing him angry, Rong Zhao timidly followed him, with a bitter face, looking extremely aggrieved, "Father, don't be angry, did Zhao Zhao say something wrong?"

Lord Rong took a breather, how could he be willing to wrong his daughter, put his arms around and patted her on the back, and said calmly: "It's none of your business, you're a child, what do you know?" said: "Women's virtue and appearance are very important, but it does not mean that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. Women who are literate and able to understand righteousness are inherently virtuous, so in the future, don't think that women's lack of talent is virtue. wrong thinking."

Rong Zhao pretended to half understand, nodded, and then smiled again, "I know, Dad." A cunning flashed in her eyes, and she started bargaining with Lord Rong, "But you have to take your time, It should be noted that haste makes waste, you want to stuff this book of poetry in my mind now, how can I bear it?"

Lord Rong raised his eyebrows, "Even haste, waste is just right, it seems that you are very motivated."

"That's right, I'm smart." Rong Zhao raised his chin, full of pride, seeing how pleasing in the eyes of Lord Rong, he couldn't stop laughing loudly.

"Be smart and work hard, come on, keep learning."

"Okay, little one obeys!"

There was a burst of laughter, and the father and daughter smiled.

The moment Lord Rong turned around, Rong Zhao's finger stroked a line of words on the book, which came from Zuo Zhuan, such a sentence, if you do unrighteous deeds, you will die.

Gao Yunyi, I'm just waiting for the day when you kill yourself.

Early the next morning, Rong Zhao followed Gao out of the mansion.Because it was the first day of the new year, the streets were extremely lively, and the sound of hawking in the streets and alleys was endless, which was very prosperous.

Rong Zhao was sitting in the carriage, poking his head out from time to time to wait and see, and he would stop the carriage to take a closer look when he encountered novel objects.

"The eldest prince and the third prince are returning to the imperial court, and they have arrived at the gate of the city." Just as they were about to enter the shop, there was a gong beating, and a man in a short brown padded coat walked through the streets to spread the word.With his voice open, he knocked on the gong three times, "Everyone, go and have a look, so that you can have a glimpse of the demeanor of the two princes."

With such a shout, many people flocked to the front door to watch, and the road became crowded for a while.

When Rong Zhao heard the news, he lost his mind slightly, the teacher went back to court, and Xiao Jinyu came back.

The man she loved the most in her previous life had returned.

"Oh? Jinyu arrived today? I went to the palace to see Concubine Wen Guifei a few days ago, and she could talk for two days. I didn't expect the two princes to travel very fast." Gao Shi put down his steps, with a look of surprise on his face She peeked at Rong Zhao, consciously or unintentionally mentioning Xiao Jinyu.

Xiao Jinyu and Rong Zhao used to be close friends, although there was no breaking point between the two, but the adults could see the behavior of the youngest.She could see that Rong Zhao was interested in Xiao Jinyu, so she mentioned it in front of her at this time, just to see Rong Zhao's reaction.

Rong Zhao shook his head, and the smile on his mouth was far-fetched, "Perhaps they are in a hurry to return to their lives, so hurry up and come back."

Now mentioning Xiao Jinyu again, Rong Zhao has no love anymore, and there is only a kind of numbness after the pain in his heart.

Gao frowned involuntarily. She originally thought that she would be overjoyed when Jinyu came back. If it was before, how could she stand here so calmly at this time, and go to the gate of the city to pick him up early.But standing here now, as if it has nothing to do with her, what is wrong with this?
"Shouldn't Zhaozhao go to meet Jinyu? He will be happy to see you." Gao guided Rongzhao calmly, wanting to see if Rongzhao had feelings for the third prince.

Rong Xi likes Jin Yu, but Concubine Wen's consideration is not unreasonable.For the third prince right now, marrying Rong Zhao is indeed more beneficial than marrying Rong Xi.

Although the Gao family is relatives of the emperor, it is not as good as the Huguo Duke's Mansion. The Gu family has military power. If the third prince marries Rong Zhao, they will have the support of the military.

As for the crown prince, even if there is a first-rank official named Zuo Xiang as his father-in-law, how can he compare with the Duke Protector's mansion who has been in charge of many generations.

On balance, she would also think that it would be better for Jinyu to marry Rong Zhao, at worst, wait for Jinyu to become emperor, then depose Rong Zhao and make her own daughter queen.What's more, seizing the throne is a dangerous thing. Once the third prince fails, wouldn't he be implicated.Therefore, let Rongzhao bear the burden, it's better for her daughter to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
