Rong Zheng received a post from Qixia Villa, inviting her to go to the Villa to enjoy pomegranates on May 12th.
She read the gold-sprinkled red paper back and forth twice, still a little confused in her heart.
She had no contact with the newly returned princess, but at this moment, he suddenly left a message for her, and she felt a little uncertain.
She asked Ruyi beside her: "Did you know that in addition to me, this princess also invited other people?"
Ruyi smiled and replied: "I heard that I also invited the old lady of the Qi family and several cousins."
Rong Zheng felt at ease now and said with a smile: "It seems that I have taken advantage of grandma."
She took the post to find Ma.
Ma heard that the princess invited Rongzheng to be a guest, so the Rong family only invited Rongzheng.
She said with a half-smile, "Since the princess has invited you through the post, it's such a shame."
It’s natural to show your dignity.
Don’t lose your etiquette when visiting someone else’s place.”
Rong Zheng responded yes.
She just wanted to inform Ma, and the decision of whether to go or not was up to her.
After Rong Zheng explained the matter, he went back to his yard without staying to chat with Ma.
Ma's face was a little uncertain, and she said to Aunt Zhou beside her: "I didn't know she had such a great reputation, and the princess would even send a message to invite her."
Ma's sour tone made Grandma Zhou smile slightly and said hurriedly: "I heard that the old lady from the Qi family and several cousins were also invited."
"I have forgotten about this level.
These days, the master always asks me to pay attention to her marriage.
I have been choosing many suitable people, but there are few suitable ones.
You said that if she really climbs the high branches of the palace, she will have this kind of marriage in the future.
With so many backers, will your eyes no longer be able to tolerate me as a stepmother?"
"Madam, what are you saying?
If Third Miss has someone to rely on, it will also be helpful to Fifth Miss in the future.
Maybe we can still benefit from her."
"Zhan Guang" Ma Shi sneered.
She knew that Rong Zheng had been keeping a close eye on the two villages where Qi Shi had stayed these days.
It seems that he wants to hold these two industries in his own hands.
If that's the case, wouldn't her management these years have been in vain?
And once a hole is poked out, how will she be able to deliver work to the master?
Thinking of this gives her a headache.
I thought that Rong Zheng was just a little girl who didn't know much about the world, and she could hold it easily in her hands, but I didn't expect that it would not be that easy.
Two days later, members of the Bai Shengchun family came into the house to pay their respects to Rong Zheng.
"There are so many things going on at home these days, I can't even bother to say hello to Miss.
Miss is doing well lately."
Rong Zheng nodded and said, "Very good.
Thank you for your concern, Madam."
Bai Shengchun's family added: "The seedlings have been planted.
The lotus roots and water chestnuts have also been planted.
The wheat is also almost cultivated.
If Miss is free, do you want to go and take a look?"
Rongzheng was not familiar with these farming tasks either.
Then he said: "Let's talk about it when we have time.
By the way, what about Lei Bo?"
Bai Shengchun's family smiled and said: "He is a very good young man.
He can write, do math, and has many ideas.

Thanks to his help, things in Zhuangzi have been straightened out a lot."
Rongzheng was satisfied after hearing that.
Then he asked: "Has anyone been looking for him recently?"
Bai Shengchun's family said: "Someone actually went to look for him a few nights ago, but he didn't stay long and left.
Lei Bo only mentioned it briefly afterwards.
We didn't have to ask too many questions."
Rongzheng thought to herself that the uncle of the Mu family must have gone to find Lei Bo.
She had to find out as soon as possible whether there was anything else hidden in Lei Bo.
After all, he is working under his own hands now.
It came suddenly.
She never dared to entrust Lei Bo with important responsibilities, and still had some scruples about this person.
After Bai Shengchun's family left, Rong Zheng asked Mei Fen to find Xiao Lu.
Xiao Lu heard that Rong Zheng was looking for him.
Without saying a word, he put down what he was doing and came over immediately.
Rong Zheng met him in the hall.
"I heard your master praise you two days ago.
He said that you have become much calmer in your work recently."
Xiao Lu's face turned slightly red and he said respectfully, "It's all because of Master's good teaching."
Rong Zheng nodded and stated his intention directly.
"That Lei Bo in the village may have an origin we don't know about.
You can find out for me how to find out."
Xiao Lu was slightly surprised.
He raised his head and glanced at Rong Zheng, then immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "Is there something wrong with this boy named Lei?"
"No, I haven't found it yet.
It's just that I feel a little uneasy after all.
You can find a way to find out for me clearly.
I'm not in a hurry to ask you for the result.
I just have to find out clearly before getting back to me."
Xiao Lu remembered that he had been a bit rude in doing things in the past, his face was slightly shy, and he responded calmly.
After getting up from a nap, Rong Zheng took Ruyi to the third bedroom.
It happened that Du Shi and Rong Xiao were eating watermelon.
Du Shi hurriedly invited Rong Zheng to sit down and eat too.
"This is the watermelon that just arrived this year.
Try it."
Soon, a maid brought a plate with two pieces of watermelon for Rong Zheng to eat.
Rong Zheng was naturally not polite here and took a piece.
It had red flesh, black seeds, lots of juice, and was very sweet.
"The watermelon here tastes really good, and it comes out earlier than elsewhere."
Mrs.
Du quickly ordered: "Send two watermelons to the third lady, and two more to the second sister-in-law."
Rong Zheng asked about Rong Xiao's health again: "I was studying piano yesterday, why didn't I see my fourth sister?"
Rong Xiao blushed and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I took a leave of absence."
Rong Zheng was worried again: "What do you think the doctor said?
It's not a serious illness.
Why is it that it never gets better?"

Rong Xiao couldn't speak easily.
Du Shi smiled and said: "Sister Xiao is having a good time, she is still embarrassed."
Rong Xiao's face turned red.
Rong Zheng suddenly nodded in realization.
Speaking of which, Rong Xiao is still younger than her, so why has her menarche not yet come?
She has forgotten when it came in her previous life.
After a while, the steward's wife came over to give money to Mrs.
Du.
Mrs.
Du did not evade, so she asked the steward's wife: "There was something wrong with the money from the Xiangfen Shop last month.
Call me shopkeeper Jin later." " The steward’s wife quickly agreed.
Rongzheng knew that in the early years, Du used his own money to open a powder shop by himself, and all the money he made was his own and was not included in the company's account.
When Ma and Du formed a partnership, the shop didn't make much money in the first year or two, but something happened.
Ma quickly withdrew.
Who would have thought that not long after Ma's withdrawal from the business, the business of the fragrant powder shop gradually improved, but Rong Zheng didn't know how much profit he made every month.
At this moment, she had an idea and thought to herself, when she was worried about having no income, should she buy some stocks?
But at the moment, she didn't have much money to spare.
I secretly thought that I would save enough capital after a while.
Why don't you talk to your aunt about it?
"Uncle Madam is here" Mrs.
Du took the handkerchief from the maid next to her.
He said with a smile: "Please come in quickly."
Rongzheng didn't really want to see Du Mu, but she couldn't walk away right away.
Sitting there was quite uncomfortable.
Soon, the maid lifted the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang.
Du Mu lowered her head slightly and walked in.
Everyone in the room stood up.
Mrs.
Du even went to greet me and said with a warm smile: "Sister-in-law hasn't been to my place for a long time.
What are you busy with at home?"
Du Mu also saw sisters Rong Zheng and Rong Xiao at a glance.
The two sisters blessed Du Mu and bowed.
Mrs.
Du invited Mrs.
Du to sit down.
Du Mu then chatted with her sister-in-law.
"There is something going on in Zhuangzi at home.
I can't leave.
I was thinking about coming into the house to see my aunt, and also to see my sisters.
But I got stuck.
Brother Hong has been quite obedient recently."
Du Shi smiled and said: "He is studying in school and comes to greet me every day.
Why is he disobedient?
Besides, he is an adult, so my sister-in-law is not worried."
He glanced at Rong Zheng deliberately as he spoke.

Rong Zheng pretended not to see it.
He lowered his head to look at the patterns on the carpet.
Du Mu said: "Now I'm worried about Brother Hong.
In more than two months, it's time to take the college examination.
If you pass the examination, you will have fame.
I can be considered as successful."
Du Shi agreed: "No."
Rong Zheng thought to himself.
Scholarship has just started, and there will be provincial examinations and palace examinations later.
Who can guarantee that Du Hong will have a smooth journey?
It may be said that it is easy to become a scholar, but many people will be here for their whole life, and going further is as difficult as reaching the sky.
After Du's mother said a few words to Mrs.
Du, she glanced at Rong Zheng again and saw that she was wearing an apricot red dress.
She couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Third, this dress is newly made.
It looks good."
Rong Zheng said: "I made it last year."
"Hey, I thought it was newly made, but I didn't see the third lady wearing it.
It looks really good.
With such a bright color, you young girls can only wear it well."
Rong Zheng's expression was indifferent.
She now kept a distance from the Du family as long as she could, and didn't want to get close to them at all.
He stood up and said goodbye to Mrs.
Du: "Thank you Auntie for the watermelon."
Du Shi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's just a little watermelon, so why thank you."
Seeing that Rong Zheng was about to leave, Rong Xiao hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said, "Third sister, come and sit in my room."
That's fine, Rong Zheng didn't want to stay here any longer, so the two of them took their leave.
After the girls went down, Du and her sister-in-law started discussing in a low voice.
"I heard that the second master over there asked Ma to help find the third lady's in-laws, and two families came to propose marriage, but the second master either disliked the family's poor family background, or disliked the young master's incompetence, and he had a choice.
The third lady also I'm already thirteen.
If it hadn't been for the old lady's obedience, the marriage would have been decided long ago.
I said, sister-in-law, why don't you act faster and ask a matchmaker to propose marriage?
Wrong."
Du Mu had never heard of the news, but she had her own plans.
But now that my sister-in-law is from the Du family, it is not convenient for her to say some things directly.
After being silent for a while, she said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs.
Gu, I understand in my heart."
Mrs.
Du patted Mrs.
Du's hand and said, "Sister-in-law must take this matter seriously.
Decide on this matter while the second master is still at home, otherwise I'm afraid there will be some changes when the second master is sent abroad."
Du Mu suddenly remembered that Rong Jiang had told Ding You to keep the uniform at home, and now he was waiting for dispatch from the court as soon as the uniform was full.
It is said that Mr.
Rong Er got an excellent grade in the examination, and it seems that he is about to be promoted.
She couldn't help but feel a little tangled in her heart.
In the future, having an in-law from the Rong family would definitely be of great help to Brother Hong.

Moreover, Mr.
Rong Er admired Brother Hong, but she had long been resentful towards Rong Zheng.
Xin, not so willing to let Rong Zheng in.
Du's mother was silent, which made Mrs.
Du anxious.
She hurriedly took Du's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, do you have any other concerns?"
Du Mu suddenly shook her head and smiled: "No, no."
Mrs.
Du sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, we really can't delay this matter.
Brother Hong is no longer young anymore.
Let's arrange a marriage for him and let him study with peace of mind.
Do you have any other plans?"
"No, it's not" Mother Du murmured.
She couldn't say anything that she didn't like about Rongzheng.
After all, Du was Rongzheng's aunt.
Because of this, it was difficult for her to speak.
Mrs.
Du gave her sister-in-law an idea, "Our family has contacts with the Xiang family in Wuxue Lane.
I heard that the second wife of their family was once a close friend of the second sister-in-law.
Now the second master of the Xiang family has just been appointed as a Qianhu family." .
You might as well go to her to discuss it, ask her to be a matchmaker, come to propose marriage, and maybe it will be done."
Du Mu said dullly: "My aunt, don't worry, I have an idea."
"Okay, okay.
I'm just making a suggestion.
My sister-in-law has her own opinion and I won't say anything more.
If you have any difficulties, just ask me directly.
I can help you in any way I can."
Du Mu agreed calmly.
She sat in front of Mr.
Du for a while, then got up and said she wanted to go to Mr.
Ma's place.
Du Shi readily agreed.
After Du's mother left, Mrs.
Du and the people around her said, "It's true that my sister-in-law doesn't act in a hurry when things are about to happen.
Isn't she impatient?
Naturally, the sooner you plan this matter, the better. ” The people around me smiled and said, "My uncle and my wife are very satisfied with this marriage, so I don't need to worry about it."
But he said that Du Mu left Du's yard and slowly went to the second room.
When she walked to that quiet and uninhabited place, she whispered to the grandmother beside her: "Do you really want to marry Sister Zheng?"
Mammy smiled and said: "Madam, haven't we already liked each other for a long time?
Now it is being spread all over the house that the third lady will marry to the Du family in the future.
Is it possible that madam will regret it again?"
"I also want to regret it.
But after all, the second master of the Rong family is in the officialdom.
In addition, the eldest master Rong is now prosperous in officialdom.
With such an in-law to help, Brother Hong can save a lot of trouble.

But" Du Mu After hesitating, he added: "I don't like Sister Zheng, so I'm in a dilemma."
Grandma was full of surprise, didn't her wife like Miss Rong San very much?
For Miss Rong San’s birthday, she eagerly made two pairs of shoes and sent them to her.
Why did she suddenly not like them?
After thinking about it, Mammy said with a smile: "When the third young lady enters the Du family, Madam, you are just a daughter-in-law.
You can teach her whatever you want.
What are you worried about?"
The words woke up the dreamer, and she said happily: "Yes, I became her mother-in-law and asked her to set the rules.
Could it be that she would do the opposite to me?
Brother Hong listens to me the most.
What do I want to do in the future?"
You can do whatever you want, I'm afraid she's a little girl, so I thought wrongly.
Let's go talk to the second wife and let her know
