Sure enough, within a few days, Mrs.
Fang had prepared various tonics and was ready to visit Rong Zheng.
It happened that Rong Di came home with his son, so he made an appointment with Rong Di.
Mother Du thought that after all she was a guest, and now she was living in Scissor Alley, she had to be more active in everything she did, so as not to let Mrs.
Fang look down on her.
I would have many places to rely on in the future, so I also bought a few things and said I would go with him.
The same is true for Mrs.
Liao.
As an official wife, she has long been familiar with the relationship between people.
Only Ma's place was silent.
Du's mother and Mrs.
Liao met and made an appointment to come and persuade her.
"Why don't the second ladies want to go to Yangliu Hutong together?"
Ma said wisely: "What am I going to do?
Maybe people don't want to see me.
Am I going to cause trouble for them?
You can go ahead."
Du's mother had a good relationship with Ma.
Although she had not interacted with her second roommate after Ma's accident, she had had tea and played cards with her before, not to mention that Du Hong had received a lot of advice from her second roommate.
Seeing that Mr.
Ma refused to go, he kindly persuaded: "The third lady was very generous at home.
I will be very happy to see the second wife.
Besides, we just came to the capital and we have to rely on them.
I heard that Uncle Mu is very popular now."
The prince attaches great importance to you, and the third lady is favored by the princess.
It won't be a bad thing if we get closer to you.
Maybe the fifth lady's marriage will depend on her in the future.
Over there at Yangliu Alley.”
"Nonsense, what kind of family Sister Sheng will marry into?
Of course I have the final say.
How can she, a married woman, interfere in her half-sister's marriage?"
Madam Ma raised her eyebrows in anger.
Mrs.
Liao was a little helpless.
Mrs.
Rong Er couldn't understand why she couldn't understand the key points.
This Mrs.
Du was also unable to speak.
Seeing that Mr.
Ma was a little annoyed, she hurriedly smiled and said, "The second wife misunderstood Mrs.
Du's words.
We are all new to the capital, and we must rely on them in many places."
Help.
Ordinary relatives may forget it, but the second wife The real eldest daughter's husband's family.
The second wife is her stepmother.

If you take Sister Sheng with you, why can't she drive you out?
Relatives have to move around each other, let alone alienate them.
We are very close to Dong Gong, and the second uncle is a royal relative again. " Mrs.
Du and Mrs.
Liao said something to each other, which finally made Ma's heart moved, and finally persuaded her.
She also prepared two gifts and took Rong Sheng to visit Rong Zheng.
The ladies agreed on a date, and Mrs.
Fang took her sedan chair, and then called for a flat-head car, allowing Mrs.
Du and Mrs.
Liao to sit.
Ma took a small sedan chair.
Rong Sheng, Liao Xian's wife, and Du Hong's wife were sitting in the car behind.
Together with the accompanying maid and mother-in-law, they finally exited Scissor Alley.
Rong Zheng was taking a nap in her bedroom when suddenly Xiao Wang came in a hurry and said, "Grandma, get up quickly.
Several ladies are here to see you."
Rong Zheng rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked in confusion: "Who are coming?"
Mrs.
Xiao Wang said with a smile: "The eldest wife, the second wife, Mrs.
Du's wife, Mrs.
Liao's family, the two young daughters-in-law, the second aunt's grandmother and the fifth lady are also here."
Rongzheng frowned, thinking that there were all kinds of random people, most of whom were enemies she didn't want to see.
After Mrs.
Xiao Wang finished reporting, she quickly asked her maid to comb Rong Zheng's hair and dress her.
"Grandma, please take your time.
The old slave has already invited them to sit in the flower hall for grandma and served tea.
Someone has already gone to report to the uncle."
Only then did Rong Zheng remember that Mu Xuan was taking a break today.
People came to the door, and she could be seen even if she didn't see them.
The people who came were all women, so Mu Xuan couldn't just let Mu Xuan socialize with them all.
Yutang and Qiu Ci, one combed Rongzheng's hair and the other chose clothes for Rongzheng.
Yutang even held out several sets of clothes for Rongzheng to choose from.
Rong Zheng was a little frightened and said, "What are you doing in such a grand way?
Even if you go into the palace to meet the Queen Mother, it wouldn't be like this."
Qiu Ci smiled at the side and said: "Grandma, this little girl Yutang has a very flexible mind.
She wants grandma to gain face in her family.
It's not a bad thing, grandma just obey her."
Rong Zheng pursed her lips and smiled: "You know her quite well."
Yutang smiled and said: "Sister Qiu Ci is right.
Grandma should dress up beautifully.
Stop the mouths of those who look down on you."
Yutang is Rongzheng's maid, so she naturally knows something about the Rong family.
Qiu Ci's hair was combed as well as the dead Ruyi's.
Rongzheng looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a low bun with a ruby on her head.
It looks very elegant.
It was already a quarter of an hour later when she got dressed and went to the flower hall to meet her relatives.

Mrs.
Fang was chatting with Mrs.
Liao, and Mrs.
Du was looking at the furnishings in the room.
Mrs.
Ma was a little impatient, thinking that Rong Zheng was deliberately putting on airs, and her face was a little unhappy.
Mu Xuan was sitting in front of a room full of women, and it was not easy for him to interrupt casually.
It wasn't until Rong Zheng arrived that he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and greeted her, smiling gently: "A Zheng, you're here."
Rong Zheng smiled slightly and stepped forward generously.
The other party's wife stretched herself out and said with a smile, "It's such a hot day.
It's been a hard journey, Auntie."
Mrs.
Fang smiled and said: "It's hard work, but it's better to sit in a sedan chair."
Seeing Rongzheng's rosy face and brightly dressed clothes, she couldn't help but flatter her, and said: "Your clothes are pretty, yes.
It’s made fresh.
The ingredients are good.”
Rong Zheng lowered her head and glanced at the willow-yellow trousers embroidered with white gardenias embroidered with gold and silver threads.
She smiled and said, "This is made from palace silk."
Madam Ma interrupted at the right time: "The palace silk should cost four taels of silver a piece."
Mrs.
Fang Da replied on behalf of Rong Zheng: "Our family is in the silk business, and the fabric that costs four taels per piece is already of the highest quality.
But you may not be able to buy it easily if you have money.
I didn't guess.
If it’s wrong, it’s made from the stuff used by the royal family.
I’m just looking at the color and the pattern.
It would only be worn by someone of Sister Zheng’s age, and we don’t look alike.”
Rong Zheng first said: "This is the material that the Queen Mother rewarded."
Then he added: "I made a t-shirt and I still have some material left.
I was thinking about making a skirt to wear, but I couldn't think of a good style."
When Mu Xuan saw their women talking about dressing and eating, he casually accompanied them for a while and then went forward.
Rongzheng said a few words to Mrs.
Fang, but she didn't even look at Mrs.
Ma and Mrs.
Liao.
Only pay attention to Du Hong's wife and Liao Xian's wife.
Mother Du and Mrs.
Liao asked their two daughters-in-law to come out and say hello to Rongzheng.
Du Hong’s daughter-in-law’s surname is Li, and Liao Xian’s daughter-in-law’s surname is Jiang.
The two are about the same age.
Mrs.
Li is a little taller, and looks like a jade girl from a small family.
I don’t know if Du Hong married this Li family in his previous life, but she has long forgotten it.
Rong Zheng glanced at Mrs.
Li, and then looked at Mrs.
Jiang several times.

He is of medium height and appears to be sixteen or seventeen years old.
Oval face, almond-shaped eyes.
She looks a bit dainty, with a seven-point appearance.
However, the skin looks a little yellow, and there is not much expression between the eyes.
At first glance, he looked like he had not seen much of the world and was a bit timid.
Rongzheng didn't have much energy to greet the ladies, so he had the dominoes brought over, and he let the ladies sit at a table and let them touch the tiles freely.
Rong Di took a hairpin to play with Sister Yuan.
Rong Zheng saw her and asked Rong Di: "Second sister, why don't you bring your nephew and niece?"
Rong Di smiled and said, "I wanted to have fun for a day, so I didn't bring them here."
She had long heard her mother say that Rong Zheng was pregnant again, and stared at Rong Zheng's belly curiously.
Because the clothes were loose and not very revealing, he asked Rong Zheng mysteriously: "Have you checked with the doctor to see if it's a boy or a girl?"
Rong Zheng smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm not sure.
The doctors who came here said everything.
It doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman, as long as you're healthy."
Seeing that Rong Sheng was an unmarried girl, Rong Di felt inconvenienced in front of her.
He took Rong Zheng's hand and said, "Let's go, I have a few private words to say to you."
Rongzheng glanced at Mrs.
Li and Mrs.
Jiang.
Although she disliked Du Hong and hated Liao Xian, it was the first time these two people came to visit her home and they had no grudge against her.
It's the first time I've seen her.
She's the master, so it's not good to just leave her alone.
Mrs.
Li was a smart person.
She stood up and said with a smile: "Grandma Mu, don't worry about us.
Let's go watch the ladies play cards.
Grandma Mu, please do what you want."
Ms.
Jiang lowered her head and said nothing.
When Rong Zheng saw Rong Di insisting on pulling her away, she had no choice but to say, "Sisters, sit down for a while.
I'll be back as soon as I go."
Rong Di had been to Yangliu Hutong twice, so he didn't regard himself as a guest at all, so he took Rong Zheng to the banquet room there.
Rong Zheng ordered the maid to serve tea.
After Rong Di sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "When you first found out you were pregnant, you should have told me that I have an ancient prescription.
It is said that in the first three months of pregnancy, the sooner you use it, the more effective it will be.
To tell you the truth. , I used that recipe to give birth to our brother Qian.
I don’t know if it’s still effective if you take it now.
If you need it, I’ll have someone bring that recipe to you later.”
Rongzheng knew that Rongdi had good intentions, but she wanted to let nature take its course and reap the fruits of what she sows.
So he declined Rong Di's kindness and said, "Our uncle doesn't mind.
Anyway, regardless of gender, they are all his seeds."
"Hey, that's the case, but the father doesn't like his son.
You should make plans for yourself."
"I think it would be a good thing to have children, but I won't force it if I don't have one.
He didn't say that I would marry someone else if I couldn't give birth to a son."

Seeing that Rong Zheng was a little angry, Rong Di hurriedly smiled and said: "You are a pregnant woman now, don't be angry.
I'm a bitch and I don't know the importance of talking nonsense.
It doesn't matter if you are a daughter.
A daughter who cares about others is a blessing."
Rong Di remembered that she had experienced Rong Zheng's temperament when she lived in Bianliang a few years ago.
Now a few years have passed, and she has become a married woman.
After a lot of training, her temperament has become much more restrained.
She just thinks that Rongzheng is still the same as before without the discipline of her mother-in-law, so she is afraid of making Rongzheng unhappy. , she asked for trouble.
Rongzheng didn't want to argue with Rongdi about having a son or a daughter, so he changed the subject.
"Do you know where Mr.
Jiang is from?"
Rong Di said: "I heard someone talk about it, saying that some concubine of the county magistrate's family gave birth to a daughter."
"A concubine like Mrs.
Liao, who wants to be strong and powerful, would allow her son to marry a concubine."
Rong Zheng found it a little incredible.
"I'm not familiar with the Liao family, so I don't know the reason.
But I heard a few words from my mother.
It was said that Mrs.
Liao didn't like to see this daughter-in-law, and she often embarrassed the Jiang family.
But after all, she is the younger daughter-in-law.
Isn’t that the case all the time?
If you want to find out more, you might as well call her over and ask her in detail.”
Rongzheng knew Mrs.
Liao's behavior very well, so she curled her lips and said, "I asked her what she was doing."
Rong Di took Rong Zheng's hand and said with a smile: "Hey, we don't care what others do, they are not relatives anyway.
In the future, we can interact with each other if we are happy.
If we are unhappy, we will leave it alone and no one will say anything.
But you, I heard that you You are very close to the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess.
Then you should mention our eldest sister more in front of the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to take care of her, so that our eldest sister's life will be easier. " Rong Zheng said: "There are rules in the palace.
Now that the eldest sister has a child in her belly, she will definitely be treated more favorably.
It won't be as difficult as before."
Rong Di said: "That's what happened.
Now my mother can go in and see my eldest sister on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month.
In the morning, she also said that she would take me with her on the first day of the next lunar month.
When it was first reported that my eldest sister was pregnant, my mother I went to Baiyun Temple to donate sesame oil money to the eldest sister and offered lamps in front of Guanyin."
"Since your prescription is so effective, why don't you let me try it?"
"You think I don't want to, but I found out too late that my eldest sister was pregnant.
This pregnancy won't work, so I have to plan carefully for the next one."
Rong Zheng holds her forehead, the eldest sister Rong Yun is still just a talented person.
Besides, he is not very popular.
In her memory, the eldest sister had only raised one princess and never had any children of her own.
Rong Zheng and Rong Di chatted for a while.
Although they were sisters, they had different temperaments and different preferences, and they couldn't talk about it.
She went forward.
Both Jiang and Li were with their respective mothers-in-law.

Mrs.
Liao was very happy to win money.
She rolled up her sleeves and didn't feel inappropriate at all as Mrs.
Jiang drank and drank.
Ms.
Jiang acted like a standard little daughter-in-law and let things happen.
She scanned around but didn't see Rong Sheng's shadow.
Rong Zheng didn't care at all.
She called someone and gave a few instructions to be passed to the kitchen.
Then he remembered that he had to go to Mu Xuan to discuss something, so he went to the study.
Mu Xuan's study is located in the east wing of the courtyard on the first floor.
Mu Xuan liked a spacious and bright place, so the entire east wing was opened up and turned into a study.
It's just that the storage of books, calligraphy and paintings here is far inferior to that of Tangli Study, so it still looks a bit empty.
When she entered the courtyard through the back door, she felt that the courtyard was quiet, and the people serving her had no idea where they had gone.
The sun was a bit dazzling.
She walked through the corridor and came to the window of the east wing, only to see that the window was wide open.
She looked inside and saw Mu Xuan standing there, with a woman beside her, holding tea and about to lean against Mu Xuan.
That woman is none other than her half-sister, Rong Sheng:
