Chapter 226 Toad wants to eat swan meat

The last time Rong Jingqiu heard about Zhang Jiqing was the one who was talking about when Princess Qinglan came over.

Although Zhang Jiqing's wife did not sue the emperor, the mysterious resurrection of the mother and son, and Zhang Jiqing confessed his guilt and was sentenced very quickly, so some pedantic censors said good things to him, which made Zhang Jiqing save his life, but he had to be exiled to the bitter and cold border area for life to serve labor and will never be forgiven.

"According to me, it's a bargain. It's not worth dying like this." Princess Qinglan said hatefully, and after taking a sip of hot tea, he said, "But he didn't expect that his wife would be willing to exile with him. According to the people who went to watch the fun, his wife said that no matter whether he is good or bad, it's her own father. She was willing to give him a chance to correct her. Many people who went to watch the fun cheered. He heard that Zhang Jiqing was still moved and tears filled his eyes. The last family reconciled." Then he tsk twice disdainfully, "It seems that she wants to die again."

Rong Jingqiu has not been able to sleep well recently, which made her mentally weak. It took some effort to remember who the good sisters were talking about. Since she saw the essence of Zhang Jiqing's wife, she has never been in charge of this matter anymore. As for how to develop in the future, it is not her business.

"If you seek kindness and get kindness, she will be happy and she will be happy. No one can care about it. It will make the two children suffer." She said softly.

"Who said no? It's hard for your mother to hold a ritual for her. She used this reason to help her return home or stay in the capital. This is the happy ending for everyone."

Hearing Princess Qinglan's misfortune and angry at her words, Rong Jingqiu burst out laughing, "There are so many women in the world who regard their husbands as the sky, and we can't take care of them. Okay, don't mention this murder case to ruin the fun."

Princess Qinglan was right to think about it. It would only make people feel uncomfortable when she mentioned it, so she changed the topic, "Forget it, your sixth sister seems to be about to enter the East Palace, so she is afraid she will be busy for a while."

"My mother has prepared a dowry and something, but there is actually not much to be busy with." Rong Jingqiu said, "It's just that she dressed up her mansion and was more festive at that time, but after all, she was not as good as marrying a crown princess, and the etiquette would be much simplified."

Rong Jingji is now being taught etiquette and rules by the nanny sent by the queen, and life is quite difficult. She feels very uncomfortable when she looks at her side, but she can do anything about it. After all, with the queen's nature, no one can help Rong Jingji, and even the prince may not be able to persuade his mother, let alone others?

Princess Qinglan saw that Rong Jingqiu's expression was a little cold, and she knew that she was not satisfied with Rong Jingji's marriage to the prince, but at this point, nothing was useful to say. So she also tactfully stopped mentioning this topic, and when she talked about it, she chose some relaxed topics to talk about it.

Rong Jingqiu has been thinking a lot in the past two days. No matter what Zhao Yu has made of, she cannot be led by him, and her own pace cannot be chaotic. If the marriage imperial edict is issued for a day, she will still have room for further struggle.

After thinking it through, she went to talk to her mother Rong Jin again.

When Rong Jin heard his daughter's purpose, he paused slightly, waved his hand to signal the person who was serving him to withdraw first, and then held his daughter's hand tightly and said, "Qiu Yat-tou, I know that you are anxious about this marriage now, but we can't just point to someone as a son-in-law. This matter is not urgent, so we have to take it slowly."

She was actually more anxious about her eldest daughter's marriage than anyone else, but after experiencing Bo Jingran and Zhang Jiqing, she found that she could no longer find these stingy literati, and she still had to search among the children of aristocratic families. Only such people know the truth and avoid being deceived.

Rong Jingqiu really wanted to say that it was really hard to delay. If there was a way, she would not force herself to find someone like Zhang Jiqing.

"Mom, my daughter just feels that the New Year is not far away as winter begins. Next year, my daughter will be one year older. It's better to settle the marriage earlier to be at ease."

"This is the reason, but I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Rong Jinshi was not easy to coax this time. Rong Jingqiu frowned slightly and thought that it was probably because Bo Jingran and Zhang Jiqing had a fuss. After thinking about this, she would hate these two people to death.

Just as she was about to say something to convince her mother, a maid outside said, "Madam, the fourth lady is here."

Rong Li's family?

What did she do?

Rong Jingqiu and Rong Jinshi looked at each other, and both mother and daughter were confused.

Rong Jinshi said, "Please come in."

As soon as he lifted the curtain, Rong Li came in with a smile, and a woman who looked older than her was followed behind her. The woman's hair was combed very neatly, and her face looked a little smart.

Rong Jingqiu recognized this person and saw Rong Li's birthday a few days ago. This is the sister-in-law of Rong Li's mother's family, Li He. Her husband became a sixth-rank prisoner who was not painful and had almost no hope of promotion.

Seeing the elders coming, she still stood up to salute others.

Rong Li said hurriedly, "Don't be busy with Qiu Ya, they are all their own people."

Although Li He was the wife of a small official, because of Rong Li, he was not nervous. He stepped forward and greeted Rong Jinshi, and then pulled Rong Jingqiu over with a passionate look, "The third girl is getting more and more handsome." She even looked up and down with a smile.

Rong Jingqiu didn't like being so close to others, and she didn't like the other person's gaze, so she took her hand back without a trace and smiled politely, "Aunt Li's praise." She paused, "Aunt Si, Aunt Li's aunt sit first, I'll go down and have someone make a bowl of good tea."

After saying that, she was blessed and immediately retreated.

Rong Jin hurriedly called her sister-in-law to sit down with Li He. Seeing that Li He seemed to want to say something, she smiled and said, "Let her go and work."

"How can I be so embarrassed to bother the third girl?" Li He smiled.

"Sister-in-law of the Li family is sitting with peace of mind." Rong Jin still gave Rong Li a great face, so he also gave Li He some face.

Rong Li was a little uncomfortable. Her sister-in-law's behavior made her feel embarrassed. She didn't want to bring her here, but her sister-in-law insisted on not being able to come over to the mistress. She was afraid that others would not be polite, so she couldn't resist and brought her to meet Rong Jin.

Seeing Rong Jinshi so easy to talk, Li He's smile on his face became stronger and he was thinking about what to say next.

Originally, she wanted to have some breath with her sister-in-law first, but for Li didn't take her back, she had to swallow her words again, and she felt so uncomfortable.

Since she saw Rong Jingqiu at her sister-in-law's birthday party that day, she looked at her a few more times. At that time, she only felt that such a princess and daughters were not something her family could think of. She felt a pity that she was getting old. Later, she went back and talked to her husband a few words, but her husband didn't say anything. At that time, she thought her husband was just annoying her to nag.

After a few days later, her husband told her that the eldest daughter of Dingyuan Hou, Rong Jingqiu, was not very famous. Once this woman became famous, the marriage would become a difficult problem. She could only look for a suitable partner to marry. Such an opportunity was tailor-made for their family.

She was worried about the problem that Rong Jingqiu could not have children, but her husband said she was stupid. What if she couldn't have children? Anyway, their family had no title to inherit. In the future, she would let her son take a concubine and give birth to a child. If this Rong girl was a person who could not tolerate others, she would adopt another one from other sons. Anyway, they were all the bloodline of their Li family, and she would do whatever she wanted.

The most important thing is that if he can become the in-law of Dingyuan Hou, he can move his official position forward. Being a fifth-rank official is not a problem, right? It is better than being in the position of a sixth-rank official.

It makes sense for Li He to think about it. Anyway, she has many sons, so she really doesn't care whether Rong Jingqiu can have a child. As for the rumors about her with other men, she doesn't like it, but her husband said she was stupid, not to mention it was just a scandal, even if she was dipped in a girl again, marrying her into the house, it was a huge profit.

The couple reached a unified unity on this issue, so she came to Dingyuan Hou Mansion to try her luck. Perhaps, as her husband said, there was not a complete lack of chance.

After thinking about it, while Rong Jin was happy, she just mentioned her thoughts, "Sister-in-law, I really like the third girl of the noble family. Not only is she good-looking, she is generous and extremely filial. This is a good wife who can't find even with a lantern. It will be a blessing for anyone to marry in the future."

Rong Li's heart skipped a beat. Her sister-in-law's words sounded like a compliment, but she knew her temperament. This was a person who could not get up early because she was afraid that she had a plan to attack Rong Jingqiu. How could this be done?

She knew that her father was better with such conditions. She barely got into a fifth-rank official, but her brother was not good enough. She could no longer make it to the position of a sixth-rank official. In the eyes of ordinary people, she was already a powerful official, but such a sixth-rank official in the capital was not at all. She could marry into the Rong family and burned Gaoxiang.

Even though Rong Jingqiu's initial engagement partner Bo Jingran was a white man, she seemed to be unable to compare with her parents' family, her husband scolded her and told her not to say such poor words and asked her to go out and inquire about what the Bo family is in Jiangnan and in the Scholars. That was what the saints wanted to invite him to be the imperial teacher.

So she never dared to go to Rong Jinshi to say something belittled Bo Jingran, but unfortunately the marriage was finally blew up, and she had a long time in private.

Now that she thought that her sister-in-law was a toad that wanted to eat swan meat, she was very upset and immediately gave Li He several winks, telling her not to mention some delusional words.

However, Rong Jinshi looked at Li He with some suspicion. What exactly does this sister-in-law want to say?

"My girl is good at everything, but this thousand-mile horse must be appreciated by Bole." She replied indifferently.

When Li He heard this, he ignored the eyes of his sister-in-law and hurriedly took a selfie's chest and said, "Although I dare not boast that I am a Bole, I am really satisfied with the third girl." He paused, "My third son is now studying in the Imperial College and is only sixteen years old. He is about the same age as the third girl. This time he came to ask for marriage to the third girl of the noble mansion. If the third girl can marry into my house, I will treat her like a biological daughter. No, it is better than the biological daughter..."

When Rong Li saw her sister-in-law, she was so ignorant that she proposed marriage to Rong Jingqiu. She suddenly felt dizzy and could only hold the chair handle with her hands. At this moment, she didn't dare to look at Rong Jinshi for fear of being vented by her anger.

Of course, Rong Jinshi was unhappy. She knew exactly what the Li family was. After all, when his brother-in-law Rong Bo was going to marry, Rong Fu asked her to take the lead. At that time, she didn't like Li. She thought that her family was average and was not compatible with the Marquis's family.

Rong Fu did not fall in love with Li at first. She wanted to find a wife from a high school for her beloved youngest son, but Rong Bo did not inherit the title. Rong Fu was promoted to a concubine, and many wealthy families were not very fond of him, so naturally they would not allow their own daughter to marry him. It doesn't matter if they are born.

But Rong Fu was angry. She looked down on the concubine and felt that marrying her was insulting her son, so she looked for it. In order to get this family, the Li family promised to give a large dowry. For the sake of money, Rong Fu reluctantly agreed. If she couldn't get face, she would have to be a good person. I think it would be a good loss.

Besides, the daughter-in-law who is married will serve her baby son more carefully, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to control it. The abacus is also very good.

So how could Rong Jinshi look down on the Li family at this time? She immediately put down the tea bowl she was holding heavily.

The sound of the tea bowl hitting the table made Li He who was talking nonstop. She could see that Rong Jin was unhappy and her face immediately felt a little embarrassed. She thought she was easy to talk to, but it turned out that she was a humble person.

"My sister-in-law, it's not me that the third girl's reputation is really not very good, so my family doesn't care about it. I can promise you here. If the third girl doesn't want my son to take a concubine in the future, then adopt a son from his brother and raise it under his knees..."

"Sister-in-law, please shut up quickly." Rong Li quickly shouted, then looked at Rong Li, "Second sister-in-law, sometimes my mother's sister-in-law speaks without thinking about her. Don't bother with her, she is just a mess."

After saying that, she got up and wanted to pull Li He's house away, so as to save her time offends the second house and damage her family's interests.

Li He refused to leave, and even said to Rong Li dissatisfiedly, "Auntie, why are you pulling me? I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Okay, sister-in-law, don't say anything, go back quickly." Rong Li ignored her struggle and pulled the person out, so as not to let Rong Jin drive people away, which would make him even less face.

"Hey, I said, aunt, where are you going?"

"Sister-in-law, if you want to climb my door again in the future, shut up now."

Rong Li was also angry at this time. He didn't say anything about this to her in advance, and just came to the other side to whisper. Has this sister-in-law ever considered that she would be difficult to be a human being? Forget it before, but now she has changed to the head of the second house and she still wants to enjoy the cool under the big tree in the Hou's Mansion.

Besides, the second wife has to help her, so that her reputation will not be ruined. She is a person who is grateful and knows that the second wife cannot use her, so she can avoid causing trouble.

Rong Jingqiu was standing in front of the window of the ear room, watching Rong Li pull Li He away forcibly. She could understand what Li He said just now. She clenched the fist in her hand and clenched it loosely, which meant that she had not made up her mind yet.

However, when she thought of what Zhao Yu did, she immediately made a decision.

So, he turned around and went in to find his mother.

Rong Jinshi's mood was still ups and downs. She was angry. Her daughter was so despised. She wanted to bite any cat and dog. If she hadn't had strong self-control at that time, she really wanted to tear Li Heshi away and make her a toad want to eat swan meat. Can she covet her daughter?

But reason stopped her impulsive behavior and she could no longer add a few rumors to her daughter.

"mother."

Hearing Rong Jingqiu's voice, Rong Jin came to his senses and waved his hand to let his daughter sit beside her, "Have you heard what you said just now?"

Rong Jingqiu nodded, "Mom, although the in-laws and aunts speak badly, she has one thing right, that is, the Li family does not intend to take concubines for their son and adopt the children of their brothers. This is not something that cannot be considered."

"Why are you confused again? Now that Doctor Yang is treating you, when the disease is cured in the future, who can't marry? After Zhang Jiqing's affairs, I don't plan to marry you down again." Rong Jin said his plan.

Rong Jingqiu is most afraid of this, otherwise why would she have tried her best?

"Mom, although Dr. Yang's health has improved, the disease will not be cured in a short while. My age cannot be delayed. His family doesn't care about their children. This is much better than other people's families, and I am not under that much pressure." She said leisurely, analyzing the aspects that are beneficial to her one by one.

The marriage was first made and then he planned to leave the capital in the future. I guess the Li family would not dare to stop her from doing anything. After all, the family was not equal, and the Li family could only provide her with her. In this way, she could also be free, at least she didn't have to worry about being accused of marrying Zhao Yu.

At this time, in the palace, the emperor glanced at Zhao Yu who was kneeling down, threw a bunch of impeachment notes in his hand on him, and said angrily: "Look at it yourself, you have provoked so many people to impeach you. If you don't want this prince's identity, I can help you."

When he saw Zhao Yu, he felt that his head was green and he didn't get angry. This is why he wouldn't see Zhao Yu at any time.

Zhao Yu didn't say anything and just knelt on the ground like that. He knew that no matter what he said, he would only anger the emperor. He had to wait until his anger faded and restored his emperor's rationality. That was when he could speak.

At this moment, someone came in to report, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince asked for a meeting."

The emperor sneered, "He came quickly, and passed on my will. I will not see him, so let him go back."

The prince outside the door was a little impatient. His father was furious about the case in Jiangnan. Zhao Yu ran into him. Who could he cut if he didn't cut him this time? He didn't expect that the impeachment memorial he deliberately put on the top was not seen by the emperor until today. If the emperor had been in a better mood two days earlier, it would be easier to say anything.

At this time, he had heard what the father said inside, and he was even more anxious and paced back and forth outside the hall.
