Chapter 87: I can't catch the turtle in the urn(1/2)
Rong Jingqiu was not used to her. Since she didn't drink, she wouldn't have dry mouth. So she sat down by herself and sipped the cup of tea slowly and quietly. Not to mention, the food and consumption of the Marquis' Mansion was better than her in the village. The tea was obviously sweeter and much better than what she sent someone out to buy.
When Rong Jin saw that her daughter was still intent on drinking tea, she stood up with a "wow" sound, and reached out angrily and knocked the tea bowl in Rong Jingqiu's hand to the ground. The tea bowl was broken suddenly, and the tea water spilled out and wet Rong Jingqiu's skirt.
"girl."
Lin An shouted hurriedly, then immediately took out a handkerchief and half-kneeled down to wipe Rong Jingqiu's wet skirt. The second wife was too much. She bit her silver teeth tightly, otherwise she would be afraid that she would commit crimes and cause trouble for the girl. This was the first day after returning home. She was just pretending to be her own girl like this. No wonder the girl was not keen on returning home at all. How could she be her own mother? She was just an unreasonable shrew.
When Rong Jin fell to the ground and broke the tea bowl, she regretted it. She shouldn't have acted so impulsively, but she didn't know why she was so angry at that time? She was standing on the ground a little embarrassed.
Rong Jingqiu pulled up her nanny and was wet, and it would not help any longer.
She looked up at Rong Jinshi with an expressionless face, "Mom, can you calm down now?"
"Qiu Yatou... Wei Niang didn't mean it either..." Rong Jin wanted to explain, but couldn't find a suitable word for it for a while.
On the contrary, Madam Hua, who was standing beside her, quickly explained, "Madam is so angry, otherwise she wouldn't have this. The third girl is more responsible, so how can the mother and daughter have an overnight revenge?"
"Yes, yes, that's it." Rong Jin quickly remedyed it. He had obviously gotten along very well with his eldest daughter before, but in a blink of an eye, he was ruined. It was a lie to say that he was not upset.
Rong Jingqiu sneered, "What's that madman angry about?"
"I..." Rong Jin opened her mouth and said, but she was speechless again for a moment. After venting, she calmed down. She found that she still had many suspicious points that she had not figured out, so she took care of losing her temper first.
Rong Jingqiu didn't feel sorry for Rong Jinshi at all. She understood where the irritable impulse in Rong Jingdong's personality came from. It turned out that Rong Jinshi had this personality defect, so it was normal to pass it on to her children.
She has to be careful not to get into this bad habit.
"Does my mom think I instigated my aunt to step up and let my grandmother punish the fourth sister?"
As soon as we mentioned this, Rong Jin's dissatisfaction surged again, "No matter what, we are all a family. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell Wei Niang that our family will solve it with the door closed..."
"Where did I hear this gossip from? Or did I see it in person?"
"I……"
"I didn't hear anyone mention it or saw it myself. Just based on my grandmother's actions, I'm going to guess out of thin air. I'm going to pull an outsider to step on the fourth sister. Mom, you can be partial. As a daughter, I don't stop you, and I don't have the right to stop you. But I have to tell you everything. If you don't have any evidence, don't just wrong people, otherwise it will be cold."
When Rong Jingqiu finished saying this, she stood up and ignored the blushing on Rong Jin's face. "The fourth sister is young and ignorant and complains casually. If you don't advise her, why are you still imagining with her? Mom, are you alive as a dog at all?"
Rong Jinshi was extremely ashamed. Although her eldest daughter did not complain when she saw her younger daughter, she seemed to have seen it with her own eyes. For a moment, she didn't know what to say to restore the already weak mother-daughter relationship.
"I am your biological daughter. Even if I haven't been close to you for 16 years, can't I even tell the difference? That aunt is sweet-hearted, can I really believe her? You must know that you are my mother, she is not."
Rong Jingqiu didn't want to say these words too bluntly, but when he saw Rong Jin's confused side, he didn't feel relieved.
"Qiu Yatou..."
Rong Jingqiu didn't want to pay attention to Rong Jin for the time being, so she turned to look at the Madam Hua who was shrinking her neck, "Madam Hua, where is my yard arranged? My clothes are wet and I'm about to change it."
Madam Hua looked at Rong Jin's eyes, and Rong Jin nodded to her.
Then she smiled again and said, "It's in the small yard next to you. The fourth girl lives on the right. The third girl is kept on the left. The wife's house is handled by her own hands."
"Then let's go first." Rong Jingqiu finished speaking and walked out the door first.
Madam Hua did not dare to be negligent and quickly jogged forward to lead the way.
Rong Jin felt ashamed, so he didn't follow him, and he was always a little uneasy, so he sent someone to find out what happened in Ning'antang before.
Rong Jingqiu is not unfamiliar with this small yard. She lived here after she came back in her previous life. It is very close to the second house owner's yard. I think Rong Jinshi wanted her two daughters to get closer to her, so she arranged this way. After all, there is a gap in the relationship between her parents, so it is reasonable for Rong Jinshi to focus her life on her children.
As soon as I entered, the room had been cleaned up, and there was brightness everywhere, and there was a smell of flowers in the air, which showed that the layout was carefully planned.
She looked around and said to Lin An, "Woman, let Mei'er and the others come over and make some places again according to our habits, so that they can feel comfortable living."
Lin An nodded quickly, turned around and went out to make arrangements, but I was afraid that Mei'er and the others would have been anxious to wait.
Rong Jingqiu looked at the view of the small yard outside and said to Madam Hua, "I'll send some flowers tomorrow. I want to build a flower stand there." Then she pointed to a big tree over there and said, "Build a swing stand there..."
All the Madam Hua responded to the words "Okay", remembering Rong Jingqiu's instructions carefully, and turning back to do things properly. These three girls are a powerful character, and she doesn't want to hit her.
Lin An led a group of maids of all sizes and big and small to clean up the house again. The place where the things were placed was the same as the residence in the village, so that it would be convenient for her own girls to get things.
Just as I was making the small yard more comfortable, I saw a young woman walking in with her.
Rong Jingqiu, sitting on the bed of the Arhat, put down the travel notes in her hand, looked up, and recognized who the person was, so she quickly got down to put on her shoes, "This must be the second sister-in-law? Seeing that I was still in a mess, I originally thought that I would clean up and invite my sisters and sisters at home to have fun."
Rong Ma's sister-in-law Rong Jingdong, who had endured the troubles, suddenly met Rong Jingqiu, who was polite and could not adapt for a while. After all, she had dealt with Rong Jingdong's unreasonable trouble, and had a psychological impact on her sister-in-law.
Seeing her a little stunned look, Rong Jingqiu couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the other party and often had to deal with the emergencies on Rong Jingdong. Rong Ma's sister-in-law was really speechless, but unfortunately Rong Jingdong would never appreciate it in her life.
"I came here to see what else you lack on Miss Three? Although my mother-in-law doesn't give me the gifts, it can't make people neglect the girls at home." Rong Ma smiled politely. When Rong Jingqiu's sister-in-law had first contact with her, she didn't dare to conclude that she was just a worry-free person.
Rong Jingqiu directed Mei'er to serve tea, "There is nothing missing. If there is really, I will send someone to bother my sister-in-law."
This sentence was full of closeness. Rong Ma could hear it as soon as he heard it. He felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry. Why didn’t God give her such a normal sister-in-law earlier?
"That's good. I'll wait for the third girl's order." She smiled and turned to instruct the servants to bring the food box. "Now there is still some time before dinner. If the third girl is hungry, I don't know if this snack is in line with the third girl's appetite."
Rong Jingqiu looked at the pastry served by the maid. It was quite exquisite. It should have been made by Rong Ma himself. Although she came from a military general's family, she would not live a meticulous life. In fact, her sister-in-law was quite ingenious in life.
Unfortunately, she met her brother who only looked at her appearance but not her soul. Rong Ma was destined to be unappreciated in front of such a husband.
She picked up a piece with great confidence and tasted it. It was sweet, soft and glutinous, and had a very good taste, so she couldn't help but praise it.
Since Rong Ma married into the Rong family, no one has praised her. Now, when he heard Rong Jingqiu's praise, a hint of shame appeared on his face.
"If I am a good person, just say yes. Sister-in-law, don't be surprised." Rong Jingqiu picked up a piece of snack and started eating.
"Then I often send some to the third girl." Rong Ma said hurriedly.
Rong Jingqiu smiled and thanked her, but did not refuse. She had dealt with Rong Ma in her previous life and knew that her biggest shortcoming of her personality was that she liked to please others. If she missed her feelings, she would probably be sad for a long time and would infinitely magnify her mistakes, thinking that she was not good.
She didn't know how this kind of personality was formed. Perhaps after marrying into the Rong family, the people in her husband accused her of being vulgar. Sometimes, if they blame too much, they would become inferior. Of course, this was purely her guess.
Because Rong Jingqiu was unexpectedly easy to get along with, Rong Ma stayed with her until before dinner.
Rong Cheng hasn't been to the main house for a long time, because his eldest daughter came back today. As a father, no matter how she doesn't like this daughter, she cannot avoid it. So she didn't go to Aunt Fu's place and came to the main house directly.
When Rong Jin saw her husband coming, she did not go up to serve him in person, but pointed to a big maid beside her and went to serve him to wash. She just sat on the Arhat's bed and looked at the door with her eyes.
She finally figured out what happened in Ning'antang, especially when she heard her eldest daughter protecting her and said something fair, the old lady was displeased. She felt ashamed and sad, full of discomfort.
Rong Cheng changed his home clothes and saw his wife keep looking at the door, "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing." Rong Jinshi had no intention of making noise with her husband. In her heart, there was no difference between this husband and death.
Rong Cheng was left alone by her, and his brows couldn't help but frown. It was still the cousin's place that made people relax.
Rong Jingqiu came with Rong Ma. As soon as she came in, she saw her father sitting there. After watching her for two lifetimes, she felt that her father was still not good.
She stepped forward to greet Rong Cheng.
This was the first time Rong Cheng saw this eldest daughter. She had a good appearance, but she couldn't tell her temperament for a while. I hope that he would burn incense and fulfill his wish without being like the second daughter Rong Jingdong.
He scolded his eldest daughter with a stern face, but it was nothing more than some pedantic words.
Rong Jinshi didn't want to hear these cold words without warmth, so she said, "Dinner is ready, let's have dinner, Qiu Yatou is probably hungry too."
Rong Cheng was told what Rong Jingqiu said, but he didn't care about anything, and when he heard Rong Jin's rescue, he said, "My second sister-in-law gave me some exquisite snacks to fill my stomach. My daughter is not very hungry now."
Rong Jin then glanced at her daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law was decided by her husband. She was dissatisfied with her when she saw her. However, her husband fell in love with the Ma family background. She thought it would be beneficial to her son's future. If it is ugly, it is ugly. Anyway, if a man is not satisfied with his wife, he can still take a beautiful concubine.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they got married, they lifted the veil, and their son left the bride and left. Then the couple got along coldly and had no children to this day.
Later, her son even took over official duties in Jiangnan. Now that she has been away for half a year, she naturally cares about her daughter-in-law, and she also wants to take her anger at Rong Ma's daughter-in-law, and often gives her a cold look, but her daughter-in-law is really good and she endures them all.
But she felt guilty about her eldest daughter at this moment, so she became much better at Rong Ma's attitude and gave her a smile and said, "You're still careful."
Rong Ma was somewhat flattered. This was the first time that her mother-in-law had a smile on her since her husband arrived in Jiangnan.
During the meal, Rong Jin personally gave Rong Jingqiu a dish, and most of them were robbed by Rong Jingqiu's favorite food. Obviously, she remembered her taste, which was her feeling of guilt.
Rong Jingqiu glanced at her mother's cautious and pleasing face, and said nothing, but she ate all the vegetables she had taken to her.
Seeing this, Rong Jin was relieved. Sure enough, the mother and daughter did not have any overnight revenge.
Rong Cheng frowned when he saw this. This eldest daughter was too rude. She had only the younger generation who served the elders. She was so kind that she asked her mother to serve her with peace of mind.
Because his daughter-in-law was waiting for the meal, he endured it.
After dinner, Rong Jingqiu asked Rong Ma to go out to digest food. Rong Ma's eyes immediately became radiant. He looked back at his mother-in-law and nodded when she saw that her mother-in-law nodded. Then she happily went out for a walk with Rong Jingqiu.
When the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law went out, Rong Cheng said to his wife, "Don't spoil it too much, otherwise you will be someone who is ignorant of the world. You will suffer from it when you look back."
Rong Jinshi didn't like to listen to these words, and he wouldn't say these things at Aunt Fu's place, but when she came here, she disliked her children everywhere. It seemed that only Aunt Fu's children were good, she bah!
"I am willing to spoil my children. If you don't like them, don't look at them, and I won't beg you." She directly retorted, "Apart from your care, what I give birth to is your children, and what I give birth to is a straw in your eyes."
"You are simply unreasonable." Rong Cheng wanted to talk to her very angry, but after only three words, she began to argue with others.
Immediately, he left with his sleeves.
Rong Jinshi didn't keep him, and 80% went to Aunt Fu's place again. Just go there. Who can stop him?
Madam Hua sighed from the side, but what if the wife was soft-hearted? She parted in such a bad mood every time. It would be a damn thing that the couple had a good relationship.
On the first night after returning home, Rong Jingqiu slept well and did not recognize the bed at all.
As soon as she finished breakfast, Mei'er came in and said, "Girl, Princess Qinglan's greeting."
When Rong Jingqiu returned to the city, she asked someone to send a letter to Princess Qinglan, so it was not surprising that she received her visit. It was not good in the capital. It was necessary to submit a visit to someone else's house first. Everything was wrong.
In the afternoon, Princess Qinglan came here in person.
