The reunion dinner started in Youzheng period, and the banquet was held in Shenxin Hall.
In the courtyard where Mrs.
Qiao used to live.
There were four tables full of family members, and there were no male guests, so there was no screen, but there were just separate tables for men and women.
Rongzheng's table was naturally composed of the four sisters, as well as two sisters in the next room who didn't get to know each other very often.
Rong Di didn't even look at Rong Zheng, and he and Rong Zheng were really at odds with each other.
Naturally, Rong Zheng didn't take it seriously, and she and Rong Xiao were chatting and laughing.
This year, without Mrs.
Qiao, it seems that there is no more restraint.
Everyone drinks and eats more casually.
Because we were still in Xiaozhong, we didn’t dare to make too much of a fuss, and the scene wasn’t big.
Not long after we sat down, our eldest cousin Rong Chun took Rong Bin to Mrs.
Fang's table for a toast.
Mrs.
Fang and the others had a drink happily, and Mrs.
Fang, Mr.
Ma, and Mr.
Du also each received a reward.
Everyone was rewarded with a purse containing all kinds of gold and silver.
Rong Chun and the others came to the table of Rong Zheng and the others again.
Rong Chun smiled and said, "Why are the sisters drinking?"
Mrs.
Fang smiled and said, "Your sisters don't drink much, so let them go."
But Rong Chun said: "It's Chinese New Year, so this glass of wine shouldn't be a problem."
Rong Yun drank half the cup generously, and the rest also gave Rong Chun and the others enough face.
When it was Rong Zheng's turn.
She stood up and said with a smile: "I am young and have a limited capacity for drinking.
I don't dare to drink too much.
I just want to be clear.
Brothers, please don't embarrass me."
Rong Bin smiled and said, "Why would we embarrass you?"
Rong Zheng covered it up with her sleeves and took two sips to call it a day.
Then Rong Chun paid tribute to the men in the family.
The men were not as easy as the women to let them pass.
They drank three drinks in a row and each asked questions.
If they couldn't answer the questions, they would be punished by three more drinks.
Those who answer will be rewarded.
As long as you ask, you can do it even if it doesn't go too far.
At this moment, Rongzheng envied the benefits of having a biological brother.
If she had a biological brother, her father would teach him patiently.
No matter how outstanding he was, she would have someone to rely on.
There were no fireworks after the meal, just a few firecrackers, and that was it.
Rongzheng went to the upper room.
Rong Jiang and Ma were sitting and talking.
Rong Sheng sat on Ma's lap, and Ma was peeling walnuts for her daughter to eat.

Rong Jiang nodded when he saw his eldest daughter coming in, and Rong Zheng sat down on the chair below.
Here Rong Jiang continued to talk to Ma: "Seventeen should send someone to Mu's house to deliver a gift.
They have been walking around before, and they should not stop this year.
It will be a big deal if they don't attend then."
Rongzheng knew that the Mu family her father was talking about was the palace of Prince Yu, so she interrupted: "Is there anything going on at the palace?"
Rong Jiang said: "It's the birthday of the Crown Princess.
In previous years, we have been giving gifts."
Ma said: "It should be so.
Even if the master doesn't say anything, I know what to do."
"It's good to know, I'm afraid you'll forget it by then."
The eldest concubine of Prince Yu's palace, whose maiden name is Gu, is from Lujiang.
Rongjiang's aunt also married into the Gu family in Lujiang, and she was from the same clan as the imperial concubine.
The Crown Princess also calls Aunt Rong the Fourth Grandmother.
Aunt Rong passed away seven years after opening the treasure.
The relationship between the Rong family and the palace was not that close.
In the past, the old aunt of the Rong family was still there, so she should move around due to emotion and reason.
After the death of my old aunt, I gradually stopped moving around.
Ma told her husband about the affairs of Prince Yu's Mansion again.
She said: "I heard that the princess who married to Fujian a few years ago in their family has come back.
Because Yibin passed away and the princess had nothing to do, the prince After all, I feel sorry for my daughter, so I want her to come home.”
Rong Jiang pondered for a moment and then said: "The affairs of other people's families are also the affairs of the palace.
It is not for us to discuss anything.
The service will be full after the Dragon Boat Festival, and I have to wait for the assignment from above.
The eldest brother will leave after the Lantern Festival. , he has asked for my post and said he would help send it to the Ministry of Personnel for review."
Rongzheng thought to himself below that his father's official career was good, and with the support of his eldest uncle, he would be promoted to a sixth-grade scholar in a short time.
She smiled and said: "Don't worry, Dad, my uncle has a bright future and will definitely be willing to help you.
You will definitely have a prosperous career in officialdom."
Ma glanced at Rong Zheng and wondered when did she care about these things?
Rong Sheng got off Ma's body, went over and took Rong Zheng and said, "Sister, let's go out together tomorrow."
"tomorrow" "Yes, dad has already agreed."
Rongzheng glanced at his father.
Rong Jiang said: "There will be no opera at home this year, and no New Year's wine is prepared.
It's deserted, and I'm afraid I'll detain you.
It's okay to go out and have a look, everything has been taken care of."
Rongzheng glanced at her stepmother and wondered why she didn't tell her earlier.
If her sister didn't tell her, she would still be kept in the dark.
After flattering her parents for a while, Rongzheng went back to her room to rest.
The people serving in this room haven't taken a break yet.
Rong Zheng said: "You guys go and have a rest.
We have to get up early tomorrow."
Yesterday, Mrs.
Xiao Wang got permission from Rong Zheng to go home for reunion.
Only Zi Su Ziying and some little girls were in front of her.
Many little girls had already heard that they couldn't bear it any longer, so they went to rest.
Rongzheng asks Zisu to sleep with her.

Rongzheng and Zisu talked about going out tomorrow.
Zisu hurriedly opened the closet and let Rongzheng choose the clothes for herself.
It’s never good to dress too plain on New Year’s Day.
Rongzheng chose a light purple dark-patterned damask jacket and a oil-green piping brocade skirt, embroidered with bright yellow folded wintersweet, all made by Zi Su.
In addition, I chose a set of pearl headbands as jewelry to wear tomorrow.
Zi Su smiled and said: "This look is very nice.
Tomorrow I will comb the lady's hair, okay?"
Rong Zheng had no requirements and said, "Anything will do.
It's not early, so just go to bed."
Zi Su asked the little girl to bring hot water in, helped Rong Zheng wash her face, combed her hair, and changed her clothes for sleeping.
Tang Pozi has been used on the bed, and the bedding is warm.
After Rong Zheng went to bed to rest, Zi Su tidied up and looked at the stove outside.
There was a silver hammer on it, which was boiling water.
Afraid that Rongzheng would ask for water in the middle of the night, she couldn't serve her cold tea.
When Zi Su finished her work, she sat on the soft couch next to Rong Zheng's bed.
Although Rong Zheng was a little sleepy, she still couldn't fall asleep.
As soon as she closes her eyes, she will think of what happened at the Liao family.
During the Chinese New Year, she actually missed her children.
I don't know how Brother Guan and Sister Qi will live after his death, and whether the new stepmother will treat them favorably.
Zi Su listened to the sound of Rong Zheng turning around and tried to ask: "Is the lady still asleep?"
Rong Zheng sighed in the tent: "I can't sleep."
"Then slave, please talk to you for a while."
Rong Zheng said: "Okay."
Zi Su then rambled: "I will definitely go to the Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow to burn incense.
Then the lady must burn a stick of incense properly and then ask for a fortune."
"Just ask for a signature, there's nothing to ask for."
Zi Su pursed her lips and smiled and said: "How can you say that you didn't ask for it?
Although the lady is already rich and has no need to ask for it, she still has to find a good marriage for herself."
Rong Zheng smiled and said, "You are already thinking about marriage when you are young."
Zi Su blushed and said, "Miss and I are serious about what you want to do with me."
Rongzheng felt quite emotional when he thought about the past.
Zisu worked hard by her side, but it never ended well, and he also wanted to promote her in this life.
After thinking about it, he asked: "How did you enter the house?
Who else is there in the house?"
Zisu was a little surprised.
This was the first time that her daughter took the initiative to ask about her family affairs, and said: "I am not a son of the Rong family.
In the early years, due to famine, I couldn't eat.
Maybe they can still see me.
I was worth two cents, so she sold me in.
The lady also remembered that I used to work in the old lady's sewing room.
The old lady saw that I was quite stable, so she gave me to the young lady.
Now there is only one widow left in the family. and a brother.”
"You have a brother, why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Zisu secretly thought: You didn't care about this before.
Where can I tell you this?

She smiled again and said: "They live far apart in the suburbs.
The lady didn't ask, and the slave didn't mention it either."
"What do you do at home for a living?"
"My brother works as an apprentice in a shop and can barely make two bucks to support the family."
Rongzheng thought, then life would still be very tight.
She thought for a while and then said: "Go back and reunite with your family tomorrow.
By the way, help me ask your brother if he is willing to come in and serve as an errand."
Zi Su didn't react for a while, but when she came to her senses, she was so pleased that she kowtowed to Rong Zheng to thank her.
What Rongzheng was thinking was that there was no one available to her now.
Zi Su is a very loyal person.
In her previous life, she failed to do well with her, and she wanted to make up for her.
If her brother is useful, he can naturally help her a lot.
If he is not, it is better to give him a job, which can be regarded as doing her part and repaying Zisu's kindness to her.
