Sweet Beauty Chapter 62: Rumours spread
Ling Guogong's wife Zhou Shi left, and Queen Hua summoned her niece, Huayu Ronghuayuhe, who was still living in the palace, and asked them about the Rong family daughter.
Speaking of Bai Er became Rong Er, and then was impeached in the courtroom. Queen Hua knew about it, but Hua Yu Rong and Hua Yu He, who lived in the palace, did not know, and Queen Hua did not tell them before questioning them. This issue.
Hua Yurong didn't take Jing Shu very seriously. Although Jing Shu made her faceless that day, although she has a big temper, she is not particularly stingy and vengeful. Besides, she already knows that she should be given a marriage. Jue, these days are filled with all kinds of complacency. When I heard Empress Hua ask, she just said: "He's a blind person, thinking that with the power of the county head Chengyi, anyone can be offended. Aunt, Didn't you take down the portrait of the fifth Miss Bai, why did you ask her again?"
Empress Hua did not say a word, but looked at Hua Yuhe again, who lowered her head and said respectfully in a low voice: "She has an excellent appearance, articulate, courageous and knowledgeable, and the daughter of a mere fifth-rank official, she can actually win the kingdom of Shu. The crown prince of the palace and the county magistrate of Chengyi treat her differently, and it is said that even the princess of Shu loves her very much, so it must be not easy.”
She paused again and added, "Also, I heard that before we arrived that day, she ignored Xueni for no reason, and then dared... to contradict the third sister, it seems that she is closer to Xiangjia."
Queen Hua nodded. She knew what Hua Yuhe was thinking. Listening to her words, she knew that she wanted to kick the girl of the Rong family away.
This niece has a good mind, has good looks, and has good looks, but unfortunately she is a concubine. Even if she wants to win, the Majesty and the Queen Mother will definitely not marry her to Jiang Yu...
But as the daughter of a petty official, that woman aroused the vigilance of the Chinese, so she should not be an ordinary one.
On the second day, after Empress Hua gave the Empress Dowager peace, she talked about the draft, and said, "Empress Mother, the Ministry of Rites came to report two days ago, saying that Mr. Bai, the Minister of Work, turned out to be the mansion of General Rong of the former dynasty. so the fifth Miss Bai will also be changed to Miss Rong now."
"Because it was related to the previous dynasty, my daughter-in-law paid more attention. I learned that this Lord Rong had been impeached by the imperial censor, and he was unfaithful and unfilial. His Majesty has sent someone to check. The daughter-in-law feels that no matter what the facts are , this girl's status as a rebel and descendant of the previous dynasty can't be changed, do you want to directly remove her from the draft list?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang frowned slightly when she started speaking, and when she finished speaking, she said gently: "Empress, since the emperor has sent someone to check, and Lord Rong has not been dismissed, this girl still has Qualifications to run for election. As for your claim that she was a rebellious minister of the previous dynasty, in fact her grandfather and uncle refused to surrender, but her father was a minister of our dynasty, and these are not without precedents.”
Speaking of which, she said with a wistful smile, "Speaking of which, during the South Vietnam War, Aijia also met this girl's grandfather. Back then, the old prince also admired General Rong very much, alas... "
Hearing this, Queen Hua knew that it would be impossible to directly remove the girl from the Rong family from the list. She thought she was just the daughter of an unnamed petty official. Her father was a rebellious minister from the previous dynasty. In the name of unfilial piety, the queen mother will be very displeased. I don't want the queen mother to have some friendship with her grandfather...
In this way, because of her deliberate mention, it may make the Queen Mother fall in love... This matter can only be considered another matter.
From the corner of Queen Hua's eyes, Concubine Xiang, who was silent but paid close attention to their conversation, was worried again.
The Xiang family wants to marry their Xiangjia girl to Jiang Yu, but this girl from the Rong family must not let her enter the palace. Since, since the palace of the king of Shu likes this girl, it is not a bad idea to let her marry the palace of the king of Shu. ...
And if His Majesty really asked Jiang Yu to marry this girl, it can be seen that His Majesty did not intend to succeed him and make her a crown prince, which would solve a hidden danger in his heart...
Therefore, Queen Hua did not look unhappy or unwilling because of the rebuttal of the Queen Mother, but after listening to the Queen Mother's words, she smiled and said: "The mother said yes, but the daughter-in-law looks like. The daughter-in-law also heard that This girl is very beautiful, and when she thinks of the previous dynasty, she said that the Rong family had a good life, which must be true."
When Empress Dowager Zhuang saw her letting go, she could see that she only proposed to remove the girl Rong out of concern for her relationship with the previous dynasty. Beautiful, when the old general Rong was young, he was very handsome, and when we arrived in Nanping, I don't know how many girls in the boudoir have been fascinated..."
Speaking and shaking his head, he smiled, "But I heard that this lady Rong was not very well-born. You said that this girl was born well, but it made Aijia curious and wanted to see her. now..."
The two were talking on their own, and also led the queen mother to talk about some old things about the Rong family. The queen also heard that the queen mother didn't have any bad feelings towards the Rong family. I also said that the girl Rong I heard was very pleasing and that the Princess of Shu liked her very much...
During this time, Concubine Xiang never interrupted.
But Queen Hua deliberately mentioned it, and said many times that the girl was born beautiful. This matter naturally entered the heart of Concubine Xiang. When she returned to the palace, she called Xiang Yilan to Yiwei to inquire about the girl of the Rong family.
In this draft, the Xiang family intends to give Xiang Yilan to the third son of the king of Shu, and has also made many walks with the prince and concubine of the king of Shu in private. According to the meaning of the queen mother, this matter should also have six or seven points. Got it.
In this way, Xiang Yilan is naturally a little nervous about the affairs at the Shu Palace.
Xiang Yilan remembered the words of his personal maid, and when he heard aunt deliberately mention this fifth Miss Bai, his heart tightened, and he said, "Aunt, why did you ask about it? This fifth Miss Bai... She was born very well. Excellent, that is, the simple dress that day, the smile and the smile can't help but be amazed, but the more you think about it, the more moving you are..."
"The county magistrate of the Prince of Shu's Mansion, Chengyi, treats people quite indifferently, and takes good care of him. Aunt, isn't it, is it from the Prince's Mansion?"
Concubine Xiang heard what she said, and a worry arose in her heart. She immediately sent a letter to Xiang Jia to investigate the girl from the Rong family.
After half a month, that is, in early August, the girl who was initially selected by the Empress Dowager, the Empress, herself and Concubine Han Shu will enter the palace for half a month, and will be selected by His Majesty on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.
After entering the palace, many things are difficult to control. If it is really a hidden danger, it is better to solve it before entering the palace.
********
The new house of the Rong family is very large, and there are only a few masters. Jing Shu herself has a separate and hidden yard, and there is a door behind the yard, so that people can go out directly.
Because there are so many things to deal with these days, Jing Shu didn't go to Zhuangzi anymore, but moved to a new house.
In the past few days, one thing after another, the Rong family's affairs did not end because of the decision of the Bai family and the 'vacation' of the second master Rong. On the contrary, one after another was caught off guard. Uneasy things followed.
First of all, Jingshu's eldest sister, Rong Jingyu's future husband's family, Zheng's family, sent someone to ask to break off the marriage.
This matter makes Master Rong Er very annoyed and disappointed, because Rong Jingyu's future father-in-law, Master Zheng's third master, and he are both classmates and scholars of the same discipline. The relationship is very good. I didn't expect that His Majesty would only ask people to investigate this matter, and the Zheng family sent Geng Tie and betrothal tokens to ask to retire.
Master Rong Er is also a scholar who has the backbone and can't stand this kind of anger, so he immediately asked people to take the eldest daughter's fiance's Geng Tie and other items and quit the marriage with the Zheng family.
Rong Jingyu is 17 years old, and will get married in a few months at the end of the year. This happened, and it was naturally a big blow. She only knew that the family was going through a change at this time. I washed my face with tears all day.
She even insisted on comforting her father and family: "Fortunately, this happened before marriage. If the father returns to the clan after marriage, the Zheng family is so ruthless and negative, I am afraid they will divorce their daughter. , or secretly let her daughter die of illness, wouldn’t her daughter really be called Tiantian’s ineffectiveness, and earth’s ground should not be? If things happened earlier, the marriage contract was dissolved, and her daughter would not have to marry such a ruthless family.”
The reason is this principle. Master Rong Er is very pleased that his daughter understands it clearly, but it is difficult to make peace in the end.
As soon as the incident of the eldest daughter broke out, Master Rong Er's heart hadn't calmed down, and not long after that, there were rumors that the second Miss Rong family, also known as Jing Shu, had a bad luck in her fate and was too violent. Rumors of Keren and others came, saying that when she lived in Shuzhong, her mother could not conceive for many years, and when she came to Beijing, her grandmother, Mrs. Bai, was lingering on the bed all day long, and the Bai family was born because of her. It's falling apart....
At this time, everyone was full of curiosity and gossip about the Rong family, so the rumors became more and more popular, and the rumors became more and more outrageous. Even the divorce of Jingshu and the Wen family was revealed... That Wen Xiyuan But it wasn't because he broke off the marriage with her that he became a jinshi, and then he wanted to renew the marriage contract with her again, but he couldn't stay in the capital anymore...
Master Rong Er was so angry that his face was blue. He asked people to investigate this matter. He actually found out that the source of this matter came from Mrs. Bai's mother's family, Wei's family. relation.
For this reason, Mr. Rong, a person who rarely has the emotion of 'hate', also began to hate and poison the third room of the Bai Mansion at this time.
He thought of the vicious swearing by Mrs. Bai to her daughter that day, and felt that this matter could not be escaped from Mrs. Bai.
How much do they hate their daughter to have to do everything possible to destroy her? Is it because the daughter may affect the fortune of the White House?
Master Rong was very angry and worried about his daughter. Of course, the rest of the Rong family were also worried about Jingshu. Even Rong Jingyu put down her own affairs and came to comfort Jingshu.
It's just that Jing Shu was nothing, but comforted everyone, saying that the rumor has nothing to do with it, it's not difficult to break it up, and after His Majesty's investigation is completed, the situation on the father's side will stabilize. Just do it again.
When Jiang Yu went to visit Jingshu at Rong's house, he saw his little girl quietly practising calligraphy. Although the weather was hot outside, she saw her quiet appearance, with a white, tender but calm profile. It gave birth to a calm and cool feeling.
Jing Shu turned around and saw Jiang Yu standing in front of the window. She just stood quietly and looked at her without making a sound. She put down the brush in her hand, got up and walked over quickly.
Laying on the windowsill, she asked him with a smile, "Are you here at this time to tell me that the marriage contract is not counted? Or come to see me, did you cry in a mess when you heard the rumors?" , In fact, their engagement seems to be just word of mouth.
Jiang Yu looked down at her carefully, unlike in the past, no matter how happy she was, her eyes would have a little gloom in her eyes. At this time, Jing Shu smiled mischievously, and her whole body was filled with a relaxed and happy feeling. , When watching him speak, his eyes seem to glow, which is amazingly beautiful.
Jiang Yu's originally worried mood disappeared without a trace, and his mood also became happy and relaxed, with some indescribable soft and sweet feeling.
He stretched out his hand and pinched her nose, smiled and said, "No wonder you can sit still so well, is that what you planned? But your Majesty's marriage decree is with me, and the marriage contract can't be counted. ."
That's what he's going to do. Who knows what the **** those people will do? Although he is confident in controlling the situation, Jing Shu is not someone else's business. You can use it at will. For those who set up the bureau, he still had to make an imperial decree before letting his majesty go down to toss.
