Chapter 10 The Marquis' wife (above)
Rong Hua walked into the First Mistress's house, Chen Mama was all smiles, "Eighth Miss is here."
The First Mistress glanced around at her with a loving gaze, "Why are you here so early."
Ronghua obediently went up to greet the First Mistress.
The First Mistress smiled, "Come over quickly, it just so happens that your brother is here, you guys should meet as well."
Just talking, the side room someone lifted the curtain in, Ronghua turned to look, ten year old boy's eyes have taken off a lot of childishness, should be the face of the sadness also has beyond the age of the depth of the face, there is no longer a pure mischievous and bright, probably yesterday was punished, walking slightly different.
Hong brother in these three years do not know what have gone through, there is no one around the sincere good to him, everything has to be careful, Ronghua can not help but some heartache.
Touching Rong Hua's gaze, Hong was suddenly stunned.
The First Mistress smiled and said to Hong, "This is your eighth sister, originally did not enter the house, you do not recognize."
Hong and Ronghua met.
The First Mistress added, "Do you see if this outfit looks good on Brother Hong?"
Rong Hua nodded, "It looks good."
The First Mistress smiled broadly, "I originally said that I wanted your eldest sister's husband to see if he could let Hong brother go to Zongxue in the name of the Marquis, but I didn't expect it to be done so quickly. Thanks to the fact that I made some clothes for Hiroshi some time ago, otherwise this would be a busy time." Looking at Brother Hong, a few points of satisfaction flowed from the First Mistress's brows.
No wonder the First Mistress is happy, to be able to borrow the relationship of Yi Cheng Marquis on the left wing of the Zongxue, such an honor is with what can not be exchanged, if it is Hiroshi again have success, Ronghua look at Hiroshi.
Hong is also looking at her, his slender phoenix eyes have a few points of doubt.
She just accidentally revealed her true feelings, when Hong brother, actually became so smart.
The First Mistress said, "When you go to the Left Wing Zongxue, your schoolwork is even more important."
Hong could not help but frown.
Ronghua couldn't help but laugh in her heart, no matter how much has changed, the nature of playfulness is still like before.
This can't be blamed on Hong, a board of articles she also do not like, if not can not find other books to replace, she will not go to read.
Later, in and out of the bookstore, only to read some of the miscellaneous, from then on in the heart of the seeds of rebellion.
This rebelliousness is not recognized by the world.
After a while, Miss Six came late.
Miss six dressed more than elaborate, the head of the rocker is Tsubaki color blue emerald, the outside is decorated with warm Cangzhu have tears, wearing a light red pomegranate flower pasted together, eyebrows and eyes flow, face like peach blossom, from head to toe is undoubtedly not carefully carved, even the bottom of the skirt embroidered shoes, but also vaguely reveals the unusual to.
The First Mistress glanced at Rhenhua and faintly complimented, "Rhenhua is really pretty today."
Yan Hua's face immediately showed a disappointed expression, she would have liked this elaborate dress will make the crowd stunning, but the first wife did not behave warmly, the heart is feeling a little lost, and then see next to Hong and Rong Hua, the heart of the unhappiness suddenly disappeared without a trace, unconsciously showed a complacent demeanor.
Hong is wearing blue arrow sleeves, covered with azure dark patterned coat, there are a few big son of the mood, she and Hong stood in a place, only like the young masters and young ladies, as for that Ronghua, even if it is a better appearance, wearing such plain clothes, a small family, will not attract the attention of the marquis and his wife, the rest of the young lady is still young, have not been called, the first lady wants to choose a candidate, it is between her and Ronghua, and she is the only one that can be called, but she is the only one that can be called. between her and Ronghua.
When Ronghua thought of this, the corner of her mouth involuntarily rose.
At this moment, a maid entered the room and said, "Outside, the Marquis' wife is about to arrive."
The First Mistress hurriedly stood up, "Quickly, all go with me to the door to greet them."
The First Mistress walked in front of her, and Yan Hua hurriedly followed with Hong Ge, squeezing Rong Hua to the side.
Marquis wife Cai's, from a famous family, ancestor was a founding minister, with military service was awarded as a prince of a different surname, later because of supporting the crown prince on the mistake, lost the title. Cai's family in these years, although less than the previous prosperity, but with recent years, Cai's father border retreat martyrdom, Cai's second sister into the palace as a consort and gave birth to a son, the third sister was named Princess Honghua on behalf of the Princess and relatives, Cai's family and has a prosperous trend.
Yi Cheng Marquis wife's carriage stopped, the first wife immediately went forward,研华看到所有人都是这样恭敬，不禁羡慕。 One day in the future, she must also have this kind of light, so that the entire Tao House respects her like this, she is no longer a concubine daughter who flatters in front of people and is miserable afterward.
The marquis wife entered the house, the first wife immediately introduced the family, talking about yan hua, yan hua went up and bowed, a slight smile, face like a peach blossom, the marquis wife's rich face had a smile at once, "I have also seen a lot of famous family family's young lady, but even all of them are not as good as your family's sixth young lady."
When Ronghua heard this, she was even happier in her heart. If the Marquis' wife praised her like this, the First Mistress would also think highly of her.
Speaking of Ronghua, Ronghua went up to bow.
The Marquis' wife just raised her hand and smiled, "Also a good boy."
The winners and losers are immediately obvious.
Ronghua smiled, she originally thought that she had to put some effort on Ronghua, but now it seems completely unnecessary, Ronghua stood there, just like a log, dull and unattractive.
Which like her, wherever she goes is so outstanding, the first wife said she, long a set of exquisite heart, that is the other maid in the house can not be compared.
The maids served the tea, the fruits were set up in turn, the maids and maids-in-law of the house all stood by to wait respectfully.
The marquis' wife smiled and talked to the first wife about some family matters, "I only have one daughter at home, and she married early, unlike you who have these daughters around, it's really a blessing."
First Mistress said, "If you don't mind, come over from time to time. You don't know that having many children has the trouble of having many children, and I've had quite a bit of trouble with them on weekdays."
The marquis' wife sighed, "How do you know, to say that my mother's family also has a lot of relatives, but they all live far away, usually less interaction, I have a problem can not count on them, but the in-laws wife knows my heart."
When Jian Hua heard this, her heart beat unusually fast, if Mrs. Cai talked about her eldest sister's childlessness at this time, in that case, half of her matter would be settled.
Who knew that the two people would stop talking deeper when they got to this point.
The First Mistress laughed and said, "The Mansion has invited an opera troupe to come, and I don't know if Madam likes it."
Mrs. Marquis said, "Speaking of which, I haven't watched an opera in a while, I heard that there's another famous actor from the capital."
First Mistress smiled, "It's not him."
The First Mistress stood up and guided the Marquis' wife into the east side door towards the east courtyard.
Research Hua, Hong Ge and Rong Hua were just about to follow, but they were stopped in front of the door by Chen Mama, who laughed, "The Grand Master and the young ladies are not in a hurry."
Hong and Ronghua stopped, but it was Rhenhua who had an anxious look on her face, looking forward on one side and saying, "How can it be okay if there's no one by mother's side?" The voices of the Marquis' wife and the First Mistress talking were getting farther and farther away, gradually she couldn't hear anything anymore.
Mother Chen was busy compensating with a smile, "Don't worry, Sixth Miss, nothing will go wrong."
Only then did it occur to Rhenhua that the First Mistress had lured away the Marquis' wife because she didn't want other people to know what they were talking about, only that she knew that the ones they were talking about were closely related to her destiny but she couldn't find out, she couldn't help but clench her hands tightly.
How was she going to find out more, Qian Hua glanced at Rong Hua, or maybe there was another way.
There were two seats arranged in the front row of the theater.
The Marquis' wife and the First Mistress settled into their seats, and only then did she instruct Mother Chen, "There is no need to wait at your heels, it's a rare good day, so you all go and have some fun as well. Tell the grand master and the two young ladies that I will accompany madam, and that they should go back to rest if they are tired of watching."
Chen mother repeated the words of the First Mistress to Hong, Yan Hua, Rong Hua, and then ordered two tables to be set up a little farther away, one table to serve Hong, Yan Hua, Rong Hua to sit down, and the other table to bring their own maids serving the First Master and Misses to sit with the maids brought by the Marquis' wife.
After two scenes, Hong left with the maids, Ronghua drank tea steadily and watched the theater with great interest. Yan Hua however was already losing her temper, "These fruits today are not as good as the previous days."
Seeing Ronghua's lack of reaction, Yanhua took Ronghua's hand and said thoughtfully, "Since we are not needed here, sister will accompany you around the garden."
Ronghua stood up and saw mom Chen looking over, she pretended not to see.
The First Mistress and Madam Marquis were chatting happily, the grannies and maids were also happy, Ronghua looked around, now is indeed a good time to leave, even if no one can hear the content of the conversation between the First Mistress and Madam Marquis, there are always other channels to find out some clues.
Even if no one can hear the conversation between the First Mistress and the Marquis' wife, there are always other channels to find out what's going on.
Ronghua glanced at the Qian mother brought by the marquis's wife, Chen mother has been sitting and joking with her, Chen mother's glass emerald bracelet that she wore on her wrist this morning has disappeared in the blink of an eye, it must have gone into her pocket.
As long as she throws herself at her, she will be able to hear something from her mouth, even if it is only a tiny clue, she will be able to string the whole thing together.
The Marquis wife would not be this diligent with the Tao family for no reason.
Thinking about it again, these two years, the Tao House did not have few wedding events, could it be ...... Ronghua glanced at the side of the research Hua, dressed brightly, fearing that someone else would steal her scenery.
Ronghua could not help but smile slightly. 研华未免将事想得太简单容易了些，华丽的上场，未必就能博得满场彩。
Yan Hua had a plan, her footsteps were unusually light, she walked ahead, Rong Hua followed behind.
After a cave door, Ronghua far away to see a courtyard planted two red maple, know is the old lady's residence, Tao family old lady a few years ago got a strange disease, most afraid of noisy noise, so in the garden to find the most clean place to build this courtyard.
The old lady has long been not asked about the matter at home, the house of all matters are handed over to the first wife to take care of, only on major occasions to show up on one side, weekdays are also unwilling to let people disturb, even the late generation of the morning and evening introspection are exempted.
Ronghua is just a foreign house, the genealogy has not filled in her name, the first wife did not let her go to see the old lady.
Ronghua remembers that earlier when she was in the house, the old lady's illness is not so serious, three years ago to repair this courtyard is used as the old lady occasionally live, who knows that the old lady this moved in, and then could not move out.
The old lady did not give birth to a son and a half for the Tao family, the father Tao Zheng'an is the eldest son of the concubine, sent in the name of the old lady, and later as the first son inherited the family business. Tao Zheng An's filial piety to the Tao old lady's reputation spread far and wide, until three years ago after Tao Zheng An's promotion, the family business is growing, the other two brothers can no longer be compared to him, this mother's kindness and filial piety has become less important, and occasionally make a show of doing so, but it is just afraid of the outsiders gossip, which is the subtle relationship between the main housewife and the son of the successor.
