Chapter 394 The warmth of family

Rong Zhao suddenly found that his father and uncle had disappeared at the same time. After asking the servants, he knew that he had gone to the study, so he looked for them.

Lord Rong understood what Duke Hu meant, and he agreed with him.

A family that is too prominent will become a thorn in the emperor's eyes. Although the emperor has not shown any dissatisfaction with them until now, sooner or later it will be a thorn in the flesh and has to be pulled out.

For them, Yizhou is definitely a good place.

"Father, Uncle, what are you two plotting here? The banquet has already been set up in the front hall, and I'm waiting for you to start the banquet." Before anyone arrived, the voice came first.The murmurs of Lord Rong and Duke Hu Guo suddenly stopped, and the two shook their heads tacitly, not discussing this topic for the time being.

Rong Zhao pushed open the door and saw the two sitting and drinking tea, with a chess board in the middle, and walked in with a smile, "So you are playing chess here, you two really have a good time."

The Lord Protector looked at her and said, "Did you father and daughter collude to know that your father is going to lose, so you keep making trouble?"

Rong Zhao didn't know how to play chess, and the white and black players, they knew her, but she didn't know them, so she asked Lord Rong, "Father, are you really going to lose?"

Lord Rong said: "I heard your uncle talking nonsense, you don't know who will win until the last move in this game of chess."

Duke Protector glared, as if he had to compete for superiority, "Okay, then let's spend it here today and see who doesn't have a single chess piece left."

Rong Zhao said, "Oh, you two are nearly a hundred years old together, why are you so naive, like children, you have to compete in a game and see who wins."

She messed up the chess, "I let you play, this time I will mess up everything for you."

Duke Hu shook his head, pointed at Lord Rong, and said: "Look at what I said, your father and daughter are in collusion, I'm about to win this, and she messed it up for me."

Lord Rong smiled complacently, "So what about the collusion, whoever gave me a good daughter, you can have one if you are capable."

Rong Zhao helped this to get up, and then helped the other to get up, holding one in each hand, "Okay, you two, stop earning money here, we are waiting for you two to have a banquet, don't dawdle here. Let me tell you, It doesn't matter if we are hungry, your precious grandchildren will cry again."

The Duke Protector nodded, "I cry when I'm hungry, this is like you."

Rong Zhao pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I followed this from you."

"You girl, you are really getting more and more poor-mouthed."

"As you like."

Rongzhao hasn't been home for more than three years. There are too many changes. All cousins ​​have their own children.

Looking at these children is like seeing their former selves.

There are two families, there are several tables for the children alone, Xiao Rongnian is popular, and I don't know if it is because of his good looks, the little boys are all vying to sit with her.

Naturally, Xiao Rongsheng is also good-looking, but there are few girls and she is reserved, relatively speaking, she is much cooler.

He's a little unhappy, isn't he likable?
When there are many children, they tend to be crazy. Rong Zhao looked around, but he was still worried.Since the two children were able to eat, they followed her.

He was called over and sat beside him before he calmed down.

"What's the matter with Yuanxiao?" Seeing that Xiao Rongsheng was listless, and didn't even take a few bites of his favorite fish, Rong Zhao felt that he was not feeling well, so he felt relieved when he touched his head and found that it wasn't hot.

Since the last time he was poisoned by Gu, Rong Zhao has been extra careful in taking care of him.

Xiao Rongsheng leaned towards Rong Zhao, and said in a muffled voice, "Mother Concubine, why are they all playing with Lian Rong, and they didn't rush to play with me."

Rong Yao happened to be right next to him, with pointed ears, he hugged his nephew from Rong Zhao's arms, and couldn't help sighing.

Xiao Rongsheng looked at him strangely, "Uncle, why are you sighing?"

Rong Yao shook his head, and said: "Uncle is emotional, you and uncle have the same fate. I think back then, uncle was like you and came here like this. It's just that there are more wolves and less flesh."

Pointing to the children of the Gu family, "Did you see, especially those ones, they have no girls in the Gu family, so they want to rob our girl. You have to protect your sister, and don't let her be taken away by wolves."

When Rong Zhao heard what nonsense Xiao Rongsheng was teaching him, he slapped him, "Go, go, don't teach my son badly, give him back to me."

Rong Yao chuckled and discussed, "Hold me for a while, hold me for a while, I'm not caring enough."

He can't mess with his sister right now, but in the future he will rely on his brother-in-law's people, if he messes with his sister, can his brother-in-law take care of him?

Rong Zhao glanced at him, and warned: "Hug him, don't say any gibberish words to him."

"When did I say gibberish words?" Rong Yao's way of liking people is to bite, "squeak" and kiss Xiao Rongsheng's cheek, "Did uncle say gibberish words to you, Yuan Xiao?" ?”

Xiao Rongsheng wiped his face in disgust, looked at Rong Yao, and said mysteriously: "Uncle, let me tell you, it's useless for us to grab the lotus seed paste again."

Rong Yao was surprised, "Why?"

"You said you are the same as me, so the concubine mother is naturally the same as Lianrong. But the concubine mother was taken away by the king, so it is useless to rob her now. Since it is useless, why should I protect her?" Xiao Rongsheng Speak one set of one set, very clear and logical.

Rong Yao blinked, really choking on him.

He hissed, and sent him back to Rong Zhao's arms. He was a grown-up man, but he was speechless when he was refuted by a child. What a shame!
Xiao Rongsheng covered his mouth and smiled secretly, and his mood improved.He understood that it wasn't that he wasn't likable, it was that those boys were lustful.

However, as far as Xiao Rongnian looks like, he is far behind his mother and concubine, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.

The dishes are very rich, and they are Rong Zhao's favorite.In the past two days, the meals were prepared according to her taste, and the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law specially explained.

Now the Ronghou Mansion is still run by the two of them together. Originally, Rong Yao married a wife, and the power of the house should be handed over, but Yin Rou is not good at these, so she declined.

Lord Rong said, they are all one family anyway, and it doesn't matter which house is in charge of the back house.

Mrs. Lin scooped up a bowl of soup and brought it to Rong Zhao, "Come to Zhaozhao, drink more bowls of black-bone chicken soup. Second Aunt sent someone to go to the market to buy it early in the morning. It was freshly killed."

Lin's sharpness of the previous years has faded, and she is much gentler. She is very kind to Rong Zhao and always pulls her to talk.It was also good for the two children, and even gave Xiao Rongnian the wreath that was her dowry.

She went straight, "I heard that you were in danger when you gave birth. The second aunt told you that this is not a trivial matter. Women lose money when they give birth, so they have to make up for it. This black-bone chicken is the best for women, and it usually has more money." eat."

A table is full of women, and there is no scruple in speaking.With the exception of Rong Yao, he had to accompany her daughter-in-law at this table.

Rong Zhao took it over, "Let my second aunt worry about it." The black chicken soup is very common, but the warm affection makes people feel warm.

Thinking back to the time when we fought against each other before, now that I think about it, I feel that it was quite naive at that time.

Lin said "tsk", "You are much thinner than before, why do you think the king of Chu abused you?"

Rong Zhao laughed angrily and said, "It's not that he is abusing me. When the second aunt sees him, she has to help me out."

"Oh, you think highly of your second aunt too, so how dare I?"

There was a lot of fun at the table, and everyone laughed.

Sitting next to Mrs. Lin was the third wife. She hadn't changed at all. People who burned incense and worshiped Buddha beside the Bodhisattva all the year round were also given special preferential treatment. Compared with before, they were a little more kind-hearted.

She didn't talk much, she just kept adding vegetables to Rong Zhao's bowl, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be full.

Rong Nuan recruited the husband at the next table, and the two of them poured a glass of wine, stood up at the same time, and toasted Rong Zhao.

She also got married the year before last, and she had an unfortunate encounter with her previous marriage.She thought that she would be alone for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect to meet someone who treats her sincerely.

She was grateful for Rong Zhao, if it wasn't for her at the beginning, now, she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive.

"Zhao Zhao, I would like to toast you with your elder brother-in-law. If you didn't help me that year, I don't know how miserable I am now, and I won't be as happy as I am now. Thank you very much." Rong Nuan was emotional, her eyes flushed , her husband is a considerate person, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for her.

Rong Zhao also stood up and raised his glass, "This glass is suitable for drinking. I didn't drink the wedding wine for the two of you, but I made up for it today." She was still so charming, "However, one glass is not enough. Three cups, three cups per person."

Looking at the eldest brother-in-law, "If you feel sorry for your wife, you can drink six cups alone."

Huo Shucheng was the No. [-] scholar in the imperial examination three years ago, and he was still in the same batch as Qi Hui.He was not as delicate as An Ziqian, but more rough.With sword eyebrows and star eyes, a face of righteousness.Rong Zhao looked pleasing to the eye, much better than An Ziqian's little boy.

But looking at his rough appearance, Rong Zhao is more willing to believe that he is a champion of martial arts.

He and Rong Nuan were also by chance, he lived temporarily in the temple before the imperial examination, and at that time the third wife always went to that temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, usually Rong Nuan followed.As for Huo Shucheng, a scholar doesn't study well in the house, and always goes to study under the big banyan tree in front of the temple.After that, everything will be in order.

Later, when Rong Nuan got to know him well, he found out that he felt that reading in the house would kill people, but if he wanted to go outside, watch the people come and go, and the flowers bloom and fade, and the things in the books would come alive.

This may be a unique way of reading. I don't know if it is suitable for others, but it is suitable for him anyway.That's how he read the number one scholar.

He didn't dislike Rong Nuan's marriage, and even felt pity in his heart, because this pity slowly turned into love.

Rong Nuan is that kind of standard lady, gentle and elegant. She used to be timid, but after the divorce, she exudes perseverance from the inside to the outside. This inner perseverance deeply attracted him.
