Chapter 25: Branches


Fire trees and silver never sleep in the sky.

Rong Zheng heard the laughter of her half-sister Rong Sheng, which fell like silver bells in the cabin.

I thought, after all, I am a child, so happy.

Mu Baowen watched the last ray of light disappear into the dark night sky, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.

She suddenly said: "It looks good, but it's too short-lived."

Rongzheng nodded approvingly.

At this moment, there are also several water lanterns swaying on the water, and the floating lanterns on the water are like the Milky Way descending.

Rong Xiao and the second and third young ladies of the Qi family came over, each holding a lotus lantern in their hands.

"Third sister, do you want to put one out?"

Rong Zheng nodded and said: "Let it go, of course I have to let it go."

Mu Baowen smiled happily when he saw the lotus lanterns: "Water lanterns are put out in the middle of July.

I didn't expect that water lanterns will also start to be put out during the Lantern Festival."

Rong Zheng asked someone to get one for Mu Baowen.

She helped Mu Baowen light the candle.

Mu Baowen walked to the bow of the boat, bent down and gently placed the water lantern on the water.

The lotus lantern slowly floated away with the water waves.

Other sisters also came and set off lotus lanterns.

Rongzheng was the last one to put out the lantern, and the wish she made was about her children in her previous life.

The Huafang goes all the way east, and after passing the Xingguosi Bridge is the Zhouqiao.

There are more and more pleasure boats on the water, and I can hear the singing of women on some boats in the distance, accompanied by the laughter of men drinking wine.

Perhaps it is a pleasure boat from a brothel.

The mother-in-law boiled the wine, Rong Zheng invited the sisters to sit down, and they all drank a glass of pear white together.

Yunxia pulled Rongzheng and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disturb you all night again tonight."

Rongzheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've made arrangements a long time ago."

She turned to ask Mu Baowen again, but Mu Baowen said, "Don't worry about me.

I'll dock in a while and my family will pick me up."

Rong Zheng had long noticed that in addition to the two escort boats of the Rong family, there was also a grasshopper boat that had been following them from a distance.

Although Rong Zheng didn't ask, she had already guessed that it might be someone sent by the palace to protect Mu Baowen.

After crossing Zhouqiao, you can see Daxiangguo Temple in the distance.

Rong Zheng couldn't help but think of Liuli Pagoda.

At this moment, I heard the Zen bell ringing in the temple, and the sound was very loud.

Rong Yun and Yun Xian were playing chess.

The chess pieces could stick to the chess board and were not afraid of falling off when it was shaken.

Rong Xiao watched from the side.

Rong Sheng was playing with Yun Hong, the sixth daughter of the Qi family.

Laughter spread quickly.

The wet nurse was afraid that Rong Sheng's laughter would be too loud and make Rong Zheng unhappy, so she whispered in Rong Sheng's ear: "My lady, don't be so loud."

Rong Sheng turned his head and said to the wet nurse like a young adult: "Can't I laugh even if I laugh?"

"It's not that you can't laugh."

After all, the nanny was a little afraid of Rong Zheng's anger.

Although Rongzheng is young now, she has made a lot of noise in the past, beating and scolding maids with her own hands.

It is said that the people who serve in Rongzheng's house are afraid of her.

Thinking of this, the wet nurse couldn't help but glance at Rong Zheng who was talking to Miss Mu's third daughter.

Rongzheng seemed to feel that someone was looking at her, and turned around to meet the nanny's eyes.

The wet nurse hid in a hurry.

This situation fell into Rong Zheng's eyes, thinking that she was so afraid of what she would do.

She didn't teach anyone with a straight face.

Or is she feeling guilty and doing something wrong?

But she didn't bother to ask about things around Rong Sheng.

Mu Baowen and Rong Zheng talked about what they had seen in Beijing.

Rong Zheng listened with interest and occasionally chimed in.

Speaking of the latter part, Rong Zheng couldn't help but ask: "I heard that the third lady kept Zhang Qingchun's Dharma stickers, right?"

Mu Baowen smiled and said, "So you also know this Zhang Qingchun."

Rong Zheng said hurriedly: "I just started practicing calligraphy, and I heard about this Mrs.

Zhang."

Mu Baowen smiled and said: "Her name is very famous in Beijing.

I keep it there and have someone send one to you another day."

Rong Zheng said hurriedly: "Then I would like to thank Third Miss.

I will send it to Third Miss immediately after finishing."

"It's okay."

Mu Baowen smiled.

Rongzheng never found a chance to ask the princess about her plans again.

Mu Baowen didn't want to mention it.

There were probably two reasons.

First, Mu Baowen didn't know much about the situation inside; secondly, she knew the situation, but she It’s not easy to open your mouth, there’s something difficult about it.

No matter what the reason was, Rong Zheng didn't get the answer he wanted, and felt a little disappointed.

Rong Zheng went to the stern of the boat to get some air and wanted to be alone for a while.

She lifted the curtain and saw Luo Liang's boat following closely behind them.

Luo Liang stood on the bow of the boat, talking to a boy.

She remembered the figure of the boy.

He was Xiao Lu, the son of Xiao Wang.

Xiao Lu saw Rong Zheng bowing to her, and Luo Liang had already cupped his fists towards her.

Rongzheng nodded.

Suddenly I saw a huge sound of water not far away, as if someone fell into the water.

Rongzheng thought, maybe the people on the bridge were too anxious, someone was squeezed into the water.

After all, it was a matter of life and death.

She just didn't see it, but if she saw it, she had to save her.

However, before she could open her mouth, she saw Xiao Lu plunge into the water and swim towards the place where the sound came from.

It looked like someone really fell into the water.

Rongzheng glanced at Luo Liang, and Luo Liang knew it and said to Rongzheng, "Third Miss, please don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

Rong Zheng naturally felt relieved about him.

Luo Liang has been working as an errand in the Rong family for more than 20 years and has never made any mistakes.

I once went to Quanzhou with my third uncle.

It is said that something almost happened when she went to Quanzhou.

If it weren't for Luo Liang, her third uncle would not be able to come back.

There is nothing to worry about with such a slave Rong Zheng.

Thinking that there was a group of young ladies in the boat, I was afraid of scaring them, so I didn't say anything until we found out what was going on.

After a while, Rong Di came over and said to Rong Zheng, "Are you still angry with me?"

Rong Zheng glanced at her with some doubts and shook his head.

Rong Di said: "We will leave the day after tomorrow.

You should get rid of any anger you have.

By the way, do you have any money?"

Rong Zheng was astonished that Rong Di had said such a long sentence just now, just to ask her to borrow money.

She didn't ask Rong Di what she used the money for, and handed Rong Di a purse from her waist without saying a word. .

Seeing how happy Rong Zheng was, Rong Di smiled happily and said, "I'll pay you back when I get back."

Then he went to the front.

Rong Di borrowed money and started playing dominoes with Qi Yunxia, ​​Mu Baowen and Rong Xiao, but she was left alone.

She leaned against the beauty and looked outside.

Not long after, she saw Luo Liang waving to Rong Zheng.

She knew that the person had been rescued, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, she heard the whimpering sound of a flute in the distance.

His voice was earnest, melodious and low, giving people a sense of coldness and loneliness, which was incompatible with the hustle and bustle tonight.

Rong Zheng secretly thought that the flute player might be a lonely person like her
