Huaiziniang poured a full cup of fragrant tea for Rong Zheng.
She was dull and taciturn.
She stood in front of her for a while without knowing what to say.
I had no choice but to retreat to the room below again.
Zisu accompanied Rongzheng out.
Rongzheng sat in the main room and waited, but Mu Xuan didn't come.
She couldn't help but feel angry in her heart: This person was interesting.
He made an appointment with her, but he didn't show up.
If it was any longer, she would leave.
Rongzheng sat alone for a quarter of an hour, while Zisu chatted with her for a while.
Suddenly Lei Bo came.
He walked in accompanied by a smiling face, bowed and saluted Rong Zheng, and asked with a smile: "Miss, is there anything you need help with running errands?"
Rong Zheng was a little surprised and said: "If you don't guard the shop, why are you running here?"
Lei Bo said with a smile: "Miss, it's not easy for me to go out, and I don't have many people with me.
If you need to run an errand, you have to do it without someone."
Lei Bo said, and looked at Zi Su with his peripheral vision.
But when he saw Zisu staring at him, Lei Bo's heart jumped suddenly and he hurriedly lowered his head, pretending not to know.
Lei Bo added: "There is a delicatessen shop in front, and the business is extremely booming.
The chestnut flour cakes they sell are very good.
I will buy two boxes for the young lady, and the young lady will try it.
How about it?"
Rongzheng smiled and said: "I asked Huaizi to buy two boxes, why are you joining in the fun?
You don't care about the store.
Since the shopkeeper is back, well, you ask him to see me, I just have something to say.
Talk to him."
Lei Bo then agreed to send the message, and Zi Su stood up and said, "I'll see Brother Lei off."
Rongzheng was speechless.
The two of them walked to the courtyard gate, Lei Bo stopped, turned around and smiled at Zisu: "Sister Zisu, your needlework is so good, I don't know if you have time to help me make another pair.
Don't let my sister produce the fabric and cotton thread."
I'll buy it myself without having to pay for it.
After she's finished, I'll give her the best wages."
Zi Su smiled and said: "Since you appreciate my craftsmanship and are used to wearing it, I will make another pair for you.
I will use whatever fabric and cotton thread you want.
I will also waive the wages.
I used to take such good care of my brother when we were in Lutang.
This kindness is It hasn't been paid off yet.
But if you rush to get it now, it might be too late.
My lady's wedding is coming soon and she has a lot of things at hand. " Lei Bo blushed and said, "I'm not in a hurry.
Sister can do it anytime.
I just ask that I don't miss my sister's business."
He hesitated before asking, "My lady is about to marry into the Mu family.
How did she arrange my sister's business?"
of" Zisu also blushed, lowered her head and said, "The lady chose me as a dowry."
Lei Bo nodded.
Said: "This is also expected.

Sister, take care, I'm going up to the front.
If you want to see me for anything, miss, just go up and send me a message."
Zisu nodded in agreement.
Lei Bo turned around and left, Zi Su stood there and saw him out.
Rong Zheng drank tea in boredom.
Occasionally, I looked up into the courtyard and saw these two people standing at the gate talking.
He chatted for a long time.
The last one has left, and the other one is still standing there watching.
This situation made Rong Zheng suddenly understand.
Such a thing happened under her nose, but she didn't notice it at all.
Wait until Zi Su walks into the house.
Rongzheng looked at Zisu's face carefully and saw Zisu's cheeks were slightly red.
Rong Zheng understood everything and pretended to be calm.
Act like nothing happened.
Seeing that the tea in Rongzheng's tea cup had become cold, Zisu hurriedly said that she would pour hot water for Rongzheng.
Rongzheng didn't stop her.
Mu Xuan finally came.
He strode across the threshold, walked to the main room, and hurriedly bowed to Rong Zheng and apologized: "I'm really sorry, I came a little late, so you can wait."
A trace of impatience was clearly visible on Rong Zheng's face, but her words were calm and she said, "I just sat here for a while.
What's wrong with you asking me out?"
Mu Xuan looked at Rong Zheng with tenderness in his eyes.
During the six months since he left, he had been thinking about Bianliang all the time.
No matter when or what he did, he always thought of the third young lady of the Rong family in Bianliang.
After being stoic for more than twenty years, he tasted what lovesickness is for the first time.
When he finally returned to Bianliang, he couldn't wait to see her.
Now that we finally met each other, Mu Xuan suppressed the excitement in his heart.
He opened his thin lips and said slowly: "I have been away for half a year.
I just want to hear what you have to say."
Rongzheng thought to herself that the two of them had not had much close contact before.
Just when he was thinking about how to reply to Mu Xuan's words, Bieyonggui walked over.
"Miss, are you looking for something?"
When he stepped across the threshold, he suddenly found Mu Xuan here, with a surprised look on his face.
Rongzheng glanced at Mu Xuan, then at Bieyonggui, nodded and said, "Well, I have something to discuss with you."
She glanced at Mu Xuan again, thinking, do you have the sense to go outside and wait for a while, or should you?
Let's drink tea Mu Xuan stood up and said, "You guys talk slowly, I'll stand outside for a while."
Bie Yonggui seemed a little uncomfortable, Mu Xuan would also be his master in the future.
Rong Zheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Uncle Mu, please wait for a moment.
Shopkeeper Bie and I will finish discussing the matter before we continue talking to you."
"It doesn't matter, just speak slowly."
Mu Xuan went out by herself.
Rongzheng asked Yonggui to sit down and talked to him about Ziying again.
Ziying gave birth to a son for the other family, and the other family's wife liked it very much.
"I chose your family to be my roommate.
I will rely on you to help me in the future.
I will still leave you to take care of the business in the shop.

There may be other more important things for you in the future."
Bie Yonggui solemnly said: "Young man will definitely live up to the entrustment of the young lady."
Rong Zheng smiled and said: "I still know your abilities.
Go back and talk to Ziying and let her prepare to come in and help me in the future."
Bieyonggui responded yes.
Rongzheng said again: "There is no rush now.
Let's wait until the children grow up."
Then they talked about some business matters in the shop.
The business this month was not very good.
Rongzheng nodded and said: "I have already read the account books.
Yes, there is a new one opening not far away, which will definitely have an impact on our family.
Let’s wait and see after the New Year.”
Farewell to Yonggui's heart, that's all he can do now.
The master and servant talked about business matters.
Rong Zheng raised his head and glanced outside, only to see Mu Xuan standing under the eaves with his hands behind his hands.
Bieyonggui was a knowledgeable person, so he bowed his head and said, "Miss, I have no other instructions, so I left.
After all, there is something else to do in the shop."
Rong Zheng nodded and said: "It's nothing, you can go down.
If I have anything to say later, I will let someone send you a message.
When the child is a little older, find a time when the weather is nice and let Ziying carry him into the house and let me take a look.
Look."
Bieyonggui should claim to be.
He turned and went out.
He nodded to Mu Xuan before leaving.
Mu Xuan turned back and took away the Zisu in front of him.
He moved his chair and sat down next to Rong Zheng.
Rong Zheng wanted to ask him what he was doing in the capital, but felt that he should not interfere with his affairs, so he did not ask, but asked: "How are you doing, Princess?"
Mu Xuan said: "It's okay."
Rongzheng thought about the events of her previous life.
It was said that the princess who returned home died young.
In the end, he didn't live long.
But as far as she can see now.
Princess Duanhui is in good health and should not die of illness suddenly.
There is something strange in my heart.
"How about you, are you doing well and everything at home is in order?"
Rongzheng nodded and said, "It's not bad.
I don't usually go out much."
Mu Xuan said: "I was most worried about your safety before, so we will get married soon.
Now that we are a family, it will be much easier for me to take care of you.
We may go to the capital soon after we get married."
"What are you going to do in the capital?"
Rong Zheng asked hurriedly.
Could it be that Mu Xuan had a tacit understanding with her and knew that she wanted to go to the capital?
Mu Xuan said: "At the end of the year, you have to go to Beijing to pay tribute.
This is the rule every year.

As I grow up, I still went there with the prince and the others when I was a child.
I plan to take you there this year."
"Oh."
Rong Zheng still thought about living in the capital permanently in the future.
Mu Xuan saw Rong Zheng's onion-like hands on her knees, and finally couldn't help but put his big hands on them, gently holding her hands.
Mu Xuan could clearly feel Rong Zheng's body trembling slightly.
He quickly asked: "Are you afraid of me?"
Rong Zheng nodded truthfully.
Mu Xuan was slightly surprised and said at the same time: "I'm sorry, I never thought I would make you feel scared."
Rongzheng continued to say sincerely: "The closer to the wedding day, the more uneasy I feel.
I feel very uneasy."
Rongzheng could not tell Mu Xuan that she had experienced a failed marriage and faced such an unfamiliar man.
She really wasn't sure about the days ahead.
So this time, no matter whether it was suitable for her or not, she had to come out to see him, and she wanted to make many things clear to him face to face.
Mu Xuan wanted to give her a hug, but was afraid that this rash move would confuse Rong Zheng even more.
His outstretched hand stopped in mid-air and then retracted, and said gently: "Do you know that I have been to Anyang before?"
How could Rong Zheng know?
She shook her head blankly.
Mu Xuan said slowly: "When the princess said she wanted to propose marriage to your family, I knew it from my sister.
I heard that the person was you, so I didn't object.
After all, we were familiar people.
We might be able to spend a lifetime with you.
Unexpectedly, your father didn't agree.
My sister said that I didn't have that fate with you, so I just let it go.
Regret, what should I do if I regret it?”
Hearing this, Rong Zheng couldn't help but look up at Mu Xuan.
Mu Xuan continued to talk: "I don't care about my sister's wishes, but I insist on going to Anyang to find your father to find out.
After finally arriving in Anyang, I was rejected by your father.
He didn't want to see me at all.
To be honest, Huo Xuan didn't want to see me at all.
This is the first time in twenty-four years that someone has treated me like this.
I used to be arrogant, but somehow I made up my mind to let your father see me.
I would feel relieved if I told him everything I wanted to say. ” "I stood in your father's yamen for two whole days, and he didn't even look at me.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day, when it suddenly started to rain, that your father asked a yamen servant to send a message to me, asking me to go to the courtyard where your father lives.
Waiting here.
Later I finally met your father.
He was very opposed to it at first.
He said that he wanted to choose an ideal son-in-law for you, but I was not his ideal person. " "Actually, what your father said is right.
I'm not much different from ordinary dudes.
You know, it was only after your father was frustrated that I decided to give my future a good try.
Azheng, don't worry, I will not let you be wronged with me, nor will my future children be wronged with me.
I know what path I should take now, and I will definitely make a name for myself."
Rongzheng looked at Mu Xuan blankly.
She had never thought that Mu Xuan would lower his stature so much for her.
He was the eldest son of the noble lord.

Even if he was not the prince, as a member of the clan, he had a noble status and a prominent family background. .
Looking at the world, there are only a handful of people with better backgrounds than him, but Mu Xuan may be the only one who can do this for her.
She couldn't help but feel moved.
"Daddy has never mentioned this to me."
"It doesn't matter whether I mentioned it or not.
What matters is my determination to live with you forever, and I hope you have the same determination as me.
Okay?"
Mu Xuan's eyes were full of expectation.
He reached out again and held Rongzheng's hand tightly, wanting to pass on his strength and courage to her.
"I promised your father that I will protect you.
I am a person who keeps my promises.
I never make random promises.
As long as I say it, I will definitely do it.
Azheng, please believe me."
Mu Xuan looked at Rong Zheng with burning eyes, and Rong Zheng lowered her head shyly.
Neither of them spoke, and only time flowed quietly.
After returning from Xinghua Lane, Rong Zheng's mood became obviously brighter.
The smiles on Du Shi's and Hui Qiu's faces also became more obvious.
Ruyi and Zisu around her were very pleased with Rongzheng's change.
Ruyi privately said to Zisu, "It seems that it is a good idea to go.
I wonder what Uncle Zhun said to our lady."
Zi Su was not there to serve at that time, so how could he know, so he said, "It's useless to ask me, I don't know either."
Rongzheng walked in, and the two of them immediately greeted her.
Rongzheng turned to Zisu and said, "Come in with me.
I have something to ask you."
Zi Su responded.
Rongzheng sat on the kang, asked Zisu to sit on the footrest, and immediately asked: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Zi Su said in confusion: "Miss, how dare I do this?"
Rongzheng chuckled, pinched Zisu's cheek, and said jokingly: "Okay, I shouldn't be interrogating you like this.
I just want to ask you what's going on between you and Lei Bo.
Hurry up and get the truth."
Zi Su blushed and said, "Miss, I really have nothing to do with him.
When he was still in Lutang last year, he took great care of his brother.
Thanks to him, I made him a pair of shoes.
Today he told me that I The shoes he made fit him very well and he asked me to make another pair for him.
He also said What kind of fabric and cotton thread do you want to come in from?
Listen to me, miss.
He already said it.
I can't refuse it.
I just searched for the scraps of cloth and found them.
I said I'll make them later when I have free time.
He just wants to repay his previous kindness to his brother."
After hearing this, Rong Zheng smiled and said: "It's not easy for you to do this as a sister.
I can't help you make shoes for him.
If you have anything else, don't hide it from me.

You must tell me.
Otherwise One day I was confused and I didn’t know what I did wrong.”
Zi Su was puzzled as to why Miss Xindao said this and what she meant by her words
