Chapter 173 Take the opportunity to pick peaches
The queen's imperial decree was sent to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion with great fanfare, so that the world would tell the world that if Rong Jingji did not enter the Eastern Palace in the end, who would dare to marry a woman named by the royal family?
Being an old girl for life or becoming a monk in the ancient Buddha with green lamps is a visible ending for the naked eye.
Rong Cheng may not care about raising a daughter until she grows old, but Rong Cheng always gets old. In the future, the brother and sister-in-law will be the one who is in charge. Rong Ma is not a scheming person. She can tolerate Rong Jingji. The key is that Rong Hong, who is the elder brother, Rong Jingji's blood ties are separated by a layer. During Rong Hong's growth, Aunt Fu was at its peak. Is she really not at all jealous of this concubine's sister?
Rong Jingqiu remembers that his elder brother Rong Hong was just as ordinary as her compatriot's sister in his previous life, let alone the half-brother Rong Jingji?
As for Rong Lu, he naturally has a deep affection for Rong Jingji's siblings, but he always grows up and gets married. It is hard to say what his wife will be like in this life.
Anyway, she had no good impression of Rong Lu's wife in her previous life. Rong Lu's personality was cowardly and incompetent. His wife was just the opposite. She was a competitive and often pointed at Rong Lu for a long time. When she saw her, the ninth princess, she looked flattering. In short, she was a swaying master who was too arrogant.
This daughter-in-law was favored by Aunt Fu. Rong Jinshi did not interfere in Rong Lu's marriage. Aunt Fu had a smooth life and was always Rong Cheng's favored concubine, but her family was her fatal flaw. She would fall in love with such a daughter-in-law, just because the other party was a merchant and had money, she could give her daughter a generous dowry and benefit her family. Then she decided to make such a woman to be a wife for Rong Lu.
She still remembers that her own mother Rong Jin told her about Rong Lu's contemptuous expression when she married her, but Aunt Fu doesn't care about this. Her son was born to her. It is her ability to encourage Rong Cheng to agree.
Therefore, it is also an unrealistic idea to rely on his younger brother Rong Lu to support Rong Jingji in the future.
Of course, if Rong Jingji could let go of her identity and go to Jiangnan with her, she might be able to open up another situation. At least the sky is high and the emperor is far away. No one knows that she has ever been attracted by the royal family. It would be easy to find a family with a wealthy family to marry.
But this is the worst strategy. Rong Jingji would not choose this path. She has too much concern. Her younger brother is the most important one, and there is also Aunt Fu. Although the mother and daughter are having a rift now, the blood relationship is endless, and it is not a matter of noisy words.
This is also the truth she realized after a lifetime of experience. Before she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she didn't care much about her parents, but after a while, as long as they showed their concern for her, her heart would involuntarily soften. What's more, did Rong Jingji grow up under Aunt Fu's knees? It's impossible that she really doesn't recognize her mother.
Sure enough, Rong Jingji shook his head, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he spoke calmly, "Sister Three, I know your kindness, but I can't drag you down, let alone do this. I've been crazy and made a fuss, and the tone in my heart has dissipated. If this is my life, then I will accept my fate."
Although the imperial edict is not as good as the imperial edict, the queen's authority cannot be provoked. She really wants to be selfish. But after calming down, she thought that in this family, there was a father who loved her very much, a younger brother, and... the aunt who gave birth to her, and the third sister who always cared for her, and she could not harm them because of her own selfishness.
What's more, she also knows her situation. Even if she doesn't enter the Eastern Palace, where can she go?
The only two roads left are left, but these two roads are not much better than entering the East Palace. Since the result is that, it would be a joke for her to resist entering the East Palace. There is no smooth road in front of her, but there is only a road covered with thorns, but she still has to go on.
So she didn't ask Rong Jingqiu what could be done to get the queen to take back the imperial edict, because it was useless to ask, not to mention that she didn't want to drag Rong Jingqiu down.
Rong Jingqiu sighed, knowing that Rong Jingji thought everything clearly and said that. He reached out and gently pushed Rong Jingji's hair into his ears, "Sixth Sister, you are stronger than I imagined. You will be more useful to the third sister in the future. The third sister has no choice but to do it."
She gave this promise and would definitely be fulfilled in the future. She wanted to help Rong Jingji from the bottom of her heart, but at this moment she didn't know what this promise meant to her in the future. No matter what the situation was, she thought she would never regret making this promise in her life.
"Three Sisters." Rong Jingji rushed into Rong Jingqiu's arms with emotion. She was already crying and swollen with red eyes, and could no longer shed tears, so she could only sobbing silently.
While the two sisters were talking in their hearts, Rong Cheng's anxious voice came from outside the room.
"It's my father who is back, I'll go out to greet him." Rong Jingqiu gently let go of Rong Jingji, went to the washing plate to wet the veil, and took it to Rong Jingji's eyes.
Rong Jingji took it and gently pressed her eyes. She felt that the swollen and painful eyes felt much better. When she put down the wet cloth towel, her father was already standing in front of her. She hurriedly got up and saluted, "Dad is back."
"I feel wronged by my son." Rong Cheng looked at her eyes and knew that he had cried many times. The unspeakable sadness and anger, the royal family bullying too much, had killed a girl from the Rong family and had to take on his own daughter again, which kept his heart on the verge of anger.
"Dad, my daughter is not wronged, this is my daughter's life." When Rong Jingji said this, tears fell down again without any competingness. Finally, she couldn't help but throw herself into her father's arms and cried again.
Rong Cheng's eyes were also quite sour at this time. He gently stroked his daughter's hair, "It's all my fault. It would be great to have a marriage for you earlier. In this way, the royal family has no excuse to ask you to enter the East Palace..."
Ever since he had made a marriage for his eldest daughter, he began to look for other two remaining daughters. Thinking that Rong Jingdong is not good-looking, the royal family will not like her, and the younger daughter Rong Jingji is born in a illegitimate family. The royal family should also think that her background is not very decent, so he has always been relieved. He never thought that the accident would happen just by delaying it.
"Dad, my daughter doesn't blame me, really..." Rong Jingji hurriedly expressed that she didn't want her father to be resentful, otherwise it would be unfavorable for her father to be an official in court.
"No, Daddy can't bear to let you go to the East Palace to endure hardships, and the queen likes you to protect the emperor's grandson. Daddy can promise her. Anyway, since your cousin married the prince, our family has been the prince's clan, and there is no need to sacrifice you again."
Rong Cheng turned around and was about to go out to promote the royal marriage for his youngest daughter, even if he had to sacrifice his title and official position.
Rong Jingqiu did not stop Rong Cheng's steps. This was the responsibility of a father and should not be stopped. Of course, if Zhong Yi was here, he would definitely feel so sad that he would want to turn into lemon essence. But unfortunately, she was not Zhong Yi. If her father lost his title and official position because of this, then he would lose it. In her eyes, saving his life is the most important thing.
Now seeing everything flourishing, it is actually already undercurrents in secret.
When the future changes will happen, there will be no way out for this family to save their lives, so if they can take the opportunity to leave now, it will be a way out.
Oh, why didn’t you expect this to be able to operate like this before?
Rong Jingqiu's eyes lit up. She really wanted to come forward and encourage her father Rong Cheng to resign and return to his hometown to ensure the safety of his family. Unfortunately, this idea was only her. While she was thinking about it, Rong Jingji had already grabbed her father and refused to let him irritate the royal family. Rong Jin, who was visiting Rong Jingji, also stood in front of her husband, and obviously had objections.
Rong Jinshi sympathized with Rong Jingji, the concubine daughter, but the premise was that she could not sacrifice the title she would pass to her son in the future. She would not agree even if she died. After all, Rong Jingji, the concubine son, did not have such an important position in her mind.
"Mr. Marquis, I know you feel sorry for Ji Yatou, but all of us are counting on you. If you make a mistake, how can you let all of us live?" Rong Jinshi held her husband who was determined to be alone. "Even if you don't think about all of us, you should think about the ancestors. This family business was built by them to fight to the death. Do you really have the heart to give up? How can you face your ancestors when you are in the future?"
"Yes, dad, mother is right. My daughter is really not bitter. I heard that... the prince has a gentle personality. He will definitely not make things difficult for his daughter. Dad, don't be impulsive." She was afraid that she would not have enough chips, so she hurriedly turned to look at Rong Jingqiu, "Three sisters, come and stop Dad."
Rong Jingqiu really wanted to say no need to stop him and let him have such ambition, but what position did she say? He said it with a dream? The immortal said it? The foresight? In short, her father would not believe it. Rong Cheng did not believe it.
After thinking about it, this idea could only be abandoned, so she had to join the army that blocked her.
Rong Cheng saw that his wife and daughter were both united in stopping him from acting impulsively, and couldn't help but sigh and finally gave up his thoughts at this moment.
Rong Jin then breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Marquis, I know you feel sorry for Ji Yat-tou. Let's give her a richer dowry so that she can be more confident."
"Dad, my daughter has grown up. She knows how to seek profit and avoid violence. She will not easily lose her life in the Eastern Palace." Rong Jingji hurriedly promised.
Rong Jingqiu could only hold Rong Jingji's shoulder and said to Rong Cheng, "Dad, you have to believe in your child."
Rong Cheng felt even more guilty. He reached out and touched Rong Jingji's head, "Dad, I'm sorry for you..."
Rong Jingji's nose felt sore. With her father's words, she didn't feel wronged. She walked to her mother and bent her knees and said, "Mother, my aunt is a confused person. I will leave it to you in the future."
"Good boy, get up quickly." Rong Jinshi was moved and personally helped Rong Jingji get up. Rong Jingji's general approach was finally recognized by her.
More importantly, she could figure out that if the prince became a treasure in the future, Rong Jingji would be able to get at least one seat among the four concubines, not to mention that she would raise the eldest son of the prince, the emperor's grandson. This is a bargaining chip. If she is successful and has her own son, it is another bargaining chip. After all, if there is great luck in the future, this concubine's daughter will be incredible.
Thinking of this, she looked at Rong Jingji with a little more intimate look. It just so happened that the child had a bad time with his biological mother. She had to step up her goodwill. "If you have any difficulties in entering the East Palace in the future, you must tell your family that you will find a way to solve whatever the family says. After all, you can't write two words Rong, and you are the girl of our Rong family after all."
Rong Jingji knew very well why her mother showed goodwill, but she did ask for help from others. Since the Eastern Palace must enter, it must be valuable. So she said, "Don't worry, my mother, my daughter remembers it."
Rong Jinshi then gave several more words, and every sentence was heartwarming.
Seeing his wife so generous, Rong Cheng's contempt and ignorance were even more compared to Aunt Fu's contempt and ignorance. The suicide that Rong Jingji had committed before was unknown, but others didn't know. How could he not know as a marquis? This is not something Rong Jin's ban order can be banned.
At this time, his disgust for Aunt Fu went to a higher level. If he hadn't thought that she was his cousin and gave birth to a pair of children for him, he would have long since retired to her parents' home.
"I will remember both Ji Yatou and Lu Ge'er in your name so that their background will be better, and Ji Yatou will be more beautiful when he enters the East Palace in the future." Rong Cheng said to his wife.
After all, I was raised in the name of my stepmother, and it was much better than the words raised by my little mother.
Upon hearing this, Rong Jingji suddenly looked up at her father. She didn't know whether she should agree. Isn't this cruel to her biological mother?
Rong Jinshi's eyes lit up, but it was useful if these two children were willing, so she turned to look at Rong Jingji, and returned to the same time. Now she could nod happily when she was unwilling to do so.
Rong Jingqiu wanted to cover her eyes. Her mother was too anxious. She only thought about the benefits of this, but she didn't expect the risks she had to take in the future. However, even though she knew there was a risk, she was afraid that her mother would be willing. This was all to pave the way for Rong Hong in the future.
Rong Jingji was hesitant, but Rong Lu, who had returned from the kitchen, just heard what her father said and immediately made a decision, "My sister and I are willing to remember it in my mother's name."
"Brother?" Rong Jingji called out, and there was reluctance to Aunt Fu in that voice.
Rong Lu didn't care about these things before, but now it's different. Her sister needs this false name to increase her bargaining chips. In the name of her mother, the Ningjing Hou Jin family is the real uncle's family. It is a good thing to have such a force behind her. It is always much better than the group of Fu family who just want to lie down and suck blood.
When Rong Jingqiu heard this, she faced this illegitimate younger brother for the first time. Unexpectedly, the one who was most stimulated in this matter would be him. Rong Lu did not have this decisive style in her previous life, otherwise she would not have been suppressed by her wife.
Rong Jingji then made up his mind and then pulled his younger brother to kneel in front of Rong Jinshi, "Mother, we are all willing to remember it in our mother's name and will repay our mother's kindness in the future."
She knew that for the wife, the concubine's children had always been thorns, and could not vomit or swallow them, so she never forced Rong Jinshi. No matter how she ignored them, she had never felt resentful. After all, her background was there and she put her heart in it. If she was in Rong Jinshi's position, she would still feel that they were upset.
"Everyone gets up, the whole family doesn't have to kneel down." Rong Jin hurriedly helped the siblings up.
Rong Cheng decided on this matter and just sent someone to inform Rong Fu. As for his cousin, Aunt Fu, he no longer wanted to think of her at all.
Rong Fu turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and said to his son's close servant, "I have no objection to this matter, let's do what the marquis said..."
"No, aunt, I don't agree." Aunt Fu couldn't bear it anymore. Her pair of children who were pregnant for ten months were about to be snatched away by the bitch Rong Jinshi. How could she be willing to do this?
Rong Fu glared at Madam Gou who was not good at doing things, and couldn't even take it personally. It was useless. Madam Gou subconsciously shrank her neck.
As for Aunt Fu's objection, Rong Fu ignored it at all, and just waved his hand to signal the closet to bring her words to Rong Cheng.
"Aunt, how can this be done? She can't rob it openly. Now the sixth girl has finally made a fortune, so she rushes to remember it in her name. The Marquis also mentioned this matter back then, but what did she do at that time? She disagreed with it, but now she wants to pick peaches. How can such a cheap thing?"
"What do you want? Let others laugh at your children as raised by my little mother?" Rong Fu's words were heartbreaking.
Aunt Fu was extremely sad and covered her face with a veil and cried, "But you can't rob it openly. She has snatched her cousin now and has to snatch my children. She has taken all the benefits. How can this be done?"
"Don't be fooled!" Rong Fu shouted angrily, calming down Aunt Fu's crying, and then his face calmed down. "You gave birth to them, and this will never change. It's just a name. What's the matter? How can there be an overnight revenge between mother and daughter? While Ji Yatou is still in the mansion, you can make something and send it over. After a long time, won't it be reconciled? Can she really not recognize you, your biological mother? And Brother Lu, you will care more about it in the future, so just stay at the intersection where he must pass to go to clan school every day, say some heartwarming words, and give him some food he likes, and the child's heart will still be on you..."
This is all about Rong Fu's experience. She raised her eldest son Rong Zhang in this way, which made the bitch who was pressing on her head suffer a loss. Whoever gave birth to the child would naturally get close to whom.
Aunt Fu still felt extremely wronged and always felt that her treasure had been snatched away. Her heart suddenly had a scar that was as big as a bowl of mouth.
When Rong Fu saw her look like she couldn't even light a cowhide lantern, she was so angry that she drove her out immediately. She was just a fool, and she couldn't teach her no matter how hard she taught her.
Rong Cheng was moving very quickly, and everyone in the family knew that Rong Jingji and his brothers were going to remember Rong Jinshi's name.
Rong Jiang, who was from the third room, secretly curled her lips. She couldn't tell that her second sister-in-law was moving fast enough. The speed of picking peaches made her feel inferior.
Rong Li, who was from the fourth room, praised Rong Jin's generosity and laughed and said that this should be done.
The fourth master Rong Bo took the opportunity to say, "Why not remember both Ping Meitou and Brother Ou to your name, so that you can also talk about marriage in the future."
Rong Li sneered, "When one day they will make a fortune, or be as sensible and well-behaved as Ji Yatou's brothers, you can say this to me again, otherwise you won't talk."
