Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 234

Chapter 230 Eight

He Jitong wrote the scriptures and picked a good time to prepare for the princess's funeral.This time, Qing Huan just sent his servants to mourn, but did not go there in person.

Rong Chen spent most of his time on official duties, while Qing Huan seriously started to educate Rong Jin.Brother Jin is smart by nature, and he is in poor health.After discussing with Rong Chen, Brother Jin took the civil servant route for the time being, and studied hard to take the imperial examination, and he was the best in the exam.If you can't, at least you can make sense.

And Rong Chen also set a goal for himself, which is to work hard and strive to accumulate enough merits before brother Jin becomes an adult. Even if he can't get a title, he can still have enough contacts to pave the way for him.

The husband and wife are working hard together, and the relationship is much better than before.It's just that... the gap that he decided to send Qing Huan and Rong Jin away when there was no discussion about Rong Chen that time is still there.

Rong Chen knew this, and so did Qing Huan.

"Mother, I want to go out to play." Rong Jin led Linglu in from outside, and that was the first sentence.

Qing Huan was slightly taken aback.

Rong Jin continued, "I want to play."

Qing Huan gave Ling Lu a wink.

Ling Lu whispered: "When I took the young master to the garden just now, a few young maids were talking about things on the street outside. When the young master heard it, he said that he would come back to find his wife."

I'm afraid it's heartbreaking to hear it.

Qing Huan glanced at Rong Jin, her heart softened.

Sighing secretly, facing him, she couldn't harden her heart no matter what.

"Wait until your father comes back." Qing Huan said to Rong Jin.

Only then did Rong Jin go down to take a shower.

When Rong Chen came back, Qing Huan talked about it.

Rong Chen thought for a while and asked, "Where are the maids?"

Qing Huan's eyes flashed, and said: "You mean?"

Rong Chen nodded: "The maids in the mansion seldom talk about these things outside, why did Brother Jin listen to it?"

Although there is a coincidence, Qing Huan also finds it strange that Rong Chen said this.I asked Xiang Nong to do this: "Don't be alarmed, find someone to keep an eye on them."

Xiang Nong nodded yes, go down.

"What about Brother Jin?" Qing Huan didn't want to disappoint Rong Jin.

Rong Chen thought for a while and said, "I'll take a rest the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Qing Huan said with a smile: "It just so happened that I went out to have a look, and it was thanks to Brother Jin. Since I married you, no... It should be said that I have never had such an opportunity since I came to Beijing. gone."

The last bit of displeasure of Rong Chen disappeared because of Qing Huan's words.

Since she wanted to go out to play, Qing Huan started to make arrangements.

When the day came for Rong Chen to rest, Qing Huan led Brother Jin's hand to the yard.After going out for a while, Rong Chen picked up Brother Jin and said, "Let's go."

Qing laughed and said yes.

The family got into the carriage.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to the troubled area in Nancheng, where the law and order are better."

Qing Huan didn't know this.

On the contrary, Rong Jin was excited all the way.

Qing Huan couldn't even hug him, so she directly stuffed him into Rong Chen's arms.

Rong Chen just glanced at him lightly.

Rong Jin settled down.

Qing Huan sneered: "I know I understand the wink too." Her tone of voice was sour.

Rong Chen snickered.

Knowing that Qing Huan was sour because Rong Jin didn't listen to her,

The carriage stopped at a restaurant.

Rong Quan said outside the carriage: "Master, we're here."

Qing Huan wanted to open the curtain.

Rong Chen has already handed over the drapery hat.

Qing Huan had no choice but to put it on.

Brother Jin, who was looking around, saw Qing Huan coming out wearing a hat, with a puzzled expression in his eyes, he kept digging into Qing Huan.

Qing Huan couldn't stop laughing,

"Brother Jin, let your father hold you."

Rong Jin glanced at Rong Chen and walked over.

"Go eat something first?" Rong Chen asked.

Qing Huan said: "It's fine, let's order something to fill his stomach first, so that Brother Jin won't see the food outside and clamor for it. At least let him eat eight percent full first."

After hearing this, Rong Quan went to the shopkeeper and asked for a box.

A group of people entered the box.

Rong Chen casually ordered some of the children's favorite food.

Qing Huan coaxed Rong Jin to eat better before letting go.

After half an hour, he walked out of the box again.

This time Qing Huan just brought You Yuan out.

Linglu and Xiangnong stay in the mansion.

Rong Chen brought along Rong Quan and several servants.

There are all kinds of vendors on the street, Rong Jin has never seen these before, and he can't look away for a moment, looking at this, but he can't bear to bear that.As long as it's not unclean food, Qing Huan thinks it's rare to come out, but let people buy some.

Not long after, there was a servant holding several paper bags in his arms.

This time Rong Jin's [-]% full stomach has already started to hiccup.

Qing Huan snickered, wanting to hug Rong Jin.

Rong Jin refused, but he wouldn't say it, he just blinked and looked at you.

Qing Huan finally couldn't resist.

Rong Chen said: "Let Rong Quan follow him. Anyway, there are servants around, so nothing will happen."

Qing Huan raised her eyebrows.

Rong Chen said: "Go shopping with me." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to hold Qing Huan's hand.

There are many young couples on the street who come out to shop, but there are very few who show their affection so blatantly like Rong Chen.For a moment, Qing Huan blushed.

But when Rong Chen held it over, he felt a little struggle, and then gave up.

At the beginning, Qing Huan walked a few steps and looked behind her.Rong Quan carefully held Brother Jin's hand, and several servants stood up and down, almost forming a circle around Brother Jin.

It looks like it has been trained.

In addition, along the way, the law and order here is indeed good.Qing Huan was also relieved, and no longer kept an eye on Brother Jin's situation.Instead, he started to go shopping with some interest.Occasionally, when I see something interesting, I go and buy some.

Rong Chen asked: "Buy so much?"

"Well, when the time comes, I will send some to Jun'er, as well as my aunt and grandmother." These things are just a temporary novelty and interesting, not precious, but they are just for fun.

Rong Chen fell silent after hearing this.

Qing Huan bought some interesting mahogany hairpins.

"What good is that?"

Qing Huan raised her eyebrows.

Rong Chen pursed his lips, and suddenly pulled him to the side shop.

Qing Huan staggered.

Only then did Rong Chen slow down his pace.

When Qing Huan raised her head, she realized that she was already in front of a gold shop.

Qing Huan was about to say something.

Rong Chen has already pulled people inside.

The guy came out to greet him.

Rong Chen said, "Take out the things I ordered here."

The man glanced at Qing Huan behind him, and said with a smile: "Okay, this master and madam, please come here."

Qing Huan was a little nervous.

According to Rong Chen's meaning, he must have ordered jewelry for himself here early.It just so happened that when he came out this time, he didn't know if he would have given it to him earlier if he hadn't bought the wooden hairpin just now.

Qing Huan muttered to herself.

"Take it out."

The shopkeeper behind the counter saw him, and said with a smile, "Wait a moment." He entered the inner room behind the curtain, and came out holding a tray in a short while.

The tray was covered with a piece of red silk.

The shopkeeper put the tray on the counter.

Rong Chen nodded towards Qing Huan.

Qing Huan uncovered the red silk and found a pair of gold bracelets inside.

What a bracelet.

Qing Huan was slightly surprised.

Rong Chen took the bracelet, unbuttoned the hidden buckle and put it in Qing Huan's hands, waiting for both of them to be put on.Qing Huan sensed something was wrong.

Rong Chen nodded.

Qing Huan suppressed the doubts in her heart.

When the two went out, they suddenly looked at each other.

"That's right, Brother Jin."

When they went out, they didn't see Rong Jin, and of course they didn't see Rong Quan and the others.

Qing Huan was anxious, her face turned pale, and she was about to faint.

"Suddenly a hand stretched out to embrace her, and Rong Chen said in a low voice: "Don't worry, this place is not far from our restaurant just now, maybe they lost their way and went there to wait for us. "

Upon hearing this, Qing Huan hurriedly said, "Then let's go quickly."

Rong Chen hummed, and when Qing Huan was not paying attention, he clenched his fists.

He was also anxious just now, and for a moment he almost ran out to look for it.Seeing Qing Huan's flustered appearance, he tried to calm himself down.

The two hurriedly looked towards the restaurant.

It happened that a servant was looking forward to them, and when he saw them coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The young master is tired, and he couldn't find the master and madam, so he came back to rest first."

Qing Huan's face became hot.

No matter what, I can't tell, the fact that the two of us just walked away and forgot Brother Jin.

Rong Chen also gave a dry laugh.

Since Rong Jin is tired.

Rong Chen saw that it had been almost an hour and a half since he found out, so he planned to go back.

Qing Huan also had something in mind, so she naturally agreed.

The two went to the upstairs box.

Rong Quan came out with brother Jin in his arms, with a hesitant look on his face, hesitant to speak.

Rong Chen's expression changed slightly, and he exchanged a glance with Qing Huan.

After a while, after getting on the carriage.

Rong Jin asked innocently: "Daddy, I saw an uncle just now."

"uncle?"

"Yes, that uncle gave me this." Rong Jin said while pulling a small pouch on his body.

Seeing this, Qing Huan took it over, opened it and took a look inside.

Inside the purse is a seal of Shoushan Stone, and the word "He" is engraved on the seal.

Qing Huan looked at Rong Chen.

Rong Chen's expression changed.

Qing Huan bit her lower lip.

Rong Jin looked left and right, and shouted: "Father, mother, can you not have it?"

Qing Huan did not speak.

Actually she didn't want to.

Rong Chen said suddenly: "Since uncle gave it to you, let's put it away."

"You..." Qing Huan raised her head violently.

Rong Chen took a deep look at her, reached for the purse, and stuffed the seal back.He said to Rong Jin: "Brother Jin is still young, let your mother keep this thing for you."

As he spoke, he handed the purse to Qing Huan.

Qing Huan thought for a while and said, "After you go back, put it back in his little box."

Rong Chen specially made a small wooden box for Rong Jin, which contained strange things.

Rong Chen didn't speak, and Qing Huan was acquiescing.

When you go back, just throw it back into the box.

Rong Jin was carried down to sleep.

Rong Chen is not there either.

Qing Huan felt a headache when she thought about it, rubbing her forehead and frowning. ,

Xiang Nong came in from outside to deliver tea.

Qing Huan took a sip, felt dissatisfied, and said, "Go and make a cup of strong tea." "Sleep is because I don't want to sleep, but if I don't sleep, I feel headache and uncomfortable.

Just drink some strong tea.

Rong Chen left the outer courtyard.

When they got to the study room, Rong Quan was already waiting there.

"What's going on?" Rong Chen said unhappily.

Rong Quan lowered his head: "The young master was tired after wandering around. When we searched for the master and wife, we couldn't find anyone. Later, the young master quarreled for the master and wife. When we took them to look for them, we happened to meet We arrived at Uncle Ruyang and Young Master Sun. Uncle Ruyang called us, so we..."

"The seal was given by him?"

Rong Quan whispered yes.

Rong Chen's face darkened.

Even with his head down, Rong Quan could still feel his anger, let alone raise his head.

……

"Why did you give him that seal?" Sun Yichun asked with a fan.

He Jitong remained silent.

Sun Yichun would not let him go.

"This kind of thing can't be hidden at all, and they will definitely know when the time comes. If that kid Rong Chen makes things difficult for Miss Yan Qi, aren't you..."

He Jitong paused.

He said coldly: "If that's the case, then make things difficult for her, or just make things difficult for her."

Sun Yichun turned his eyes, walked up to him in a few strides, then looked him up and down and said: "You don't mean to be funny on purpose.

He Jitong's expression changed.

Sun Yichun continued: "I said, no matter what it is, she is already Rong's wife. What's the use of you doing too much. She doesn't miss your kindness at all. Besides... she has a baby now. Just now That kid, right? What's his name..."

"Brother Jin."

"Yes, it's Brother Jin. It looks like Yan Jun's when he was young. This nephew, Uncle Xiao, is really not a fake. But... I also met Rong Chen when I was young. Brother Jin is like Rong Chen when he was young. , almost printed out of the same mold. That pair of eyes, like his mother."

not...

I saw it originally, and it was the best to just walk by with a smile.

But unconsciously, he was attracted by the same pair of eyes.After calling people to stop, He Jitong couldn't speak at all when he saw brother Jin's ignorant eyes.

In the end, even he himself didn't know what was going on, but he actually took out the seal.

This is indeed a bit embarrassing.

So is she in danger now?

He Jitong pursed his lips and sighed deeply.

Sun Yichun was still thinking about it beside him.

"Didn't your wife have a child? You should be more honest and go back." After leaving these words, He Jitong walked to the waiting carriage and immediately let the driver leave.

Leaving Sun Yichun alone, he was stunned for a long time before he realized it.

But the carriage has long gone.

Sun Yichun got angry and scolded: "It's really... forgetting friends when you see sex." He just babbled a few words, and left him behind.Really...

The ten years of friendship, really can't compare with a Yan Qi girl.

If I knew this earlier, why should it be in the first place?

Thinking of this, Sun Yichun sighed and called the person who carried the sedan chair on the side of the road.When I passed a shop selling candied fruit, I stopped to buy a pack of sour plums and then went back.

……

Rong Jin's affairs were interrupted that day.

The matter about the pair of gold bracelets was also ignored.

When Qing Huan remembered, when she took it out, she studied it carefully, only to find that there were many hidden buckles on the bracelet, not only could the bracelet be unfastened, but it was still hollow inside.

No wonder when I was in the store over there, the weight I bought felt wrong.

hollow?

Qing Huan pursed her lips.

Thinking of what happened that chaotic night, she seemed to understand what Rong Chen meant.Qing Huan asked everyone to go down, and stayed alone in the room for a while.

When Rong Chen came back, he saw Qing Huan wearing gold bracelets on both hands.

"Is it heavy?"

Qing Huan was startled, and after a while, she smiled and said, "Fortunately, it's not too heavy."

Rong Chen hummed.

"This year's Qionghua Banquet will be brought forward. My aunt and grandma want you to help my cousin take care of the Qionghua Banquet."

"Didn't my cousin take care of it several times?" She was in charge of it last time.

Why call yourself now?
Qing Huan was really puzzled.

Rong Chen said lightly: "This time the princes and concubines are also coming."

Qing Huan frowned.

"There has never been an example of this before."

"So... I want you to help my cousin. My aunt's health is not good, and she has gradually receded in the past few years, and she doesn't show up. But only my cousin, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

As for what was inappropriate, Rong Chen didn't say anything.

Qing Huan would not ask stupidly.

Qing Huan knew she couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to agree.

After tidying up, I went to Princess Danyang's mansion the next day.

Mama Xia was there too.

When seeing Qing Huan, Princess Danyang asked about Brother Jin.

Qing Huan just said yes.

"I can eat and drink, and run often. I am much more lively than before. My face is always rosy, and I see it is getting better and better."

"It's the same with children. You can't keep him locked up and let him move more." Princess Danyang nodded with a smile: "Brother Rong was like a little pony when he was young. Hold him and throw it directly to the guards. Unexpectedly, going back and forth will make him more naughty."

"I see Brother Jin's temper is similar."

Princess Danyang think about it.

you do not say.

If it wasn't for his poor health, Shengsheng would be another Rongchen.

After joking around, Qing Huan asked about the Qionghua Banquet.

"In the past two years, I haven't even attended the banquet very much. And I have only attended the Qionghua Banquet three times. If my cousin assigns tasks, I can still do it, but if we are together..."

Qing Huan felt embarrassed.

It is justifiable for Wang Yi's wife to organize the Qionghua Banquet.

And it's really not suitable for me.

She can foresee how many rumors there will be at that time, and more importantly, if the news is spread, more troubles will follow.

"Well. You go and meet her and see what she means."

Qing Huan had to think about it.

Mother Xia called Buckwheat to come in, and took Qing Huan to find Grandma Wang.

After Xia's mother came back, she said, "She probably doesn't want to."

Princess Danyang smiled: "She and Brother Rong are both people who are afraid of trouble, but... without her, I don't worry about other people."

After hearing this, Mother Xia knew that it was indeed the case.

Qing Huan went to see Grandma Wang.

Before she could speak, she held Qing Huan's hand with a smile on her face: "You are finally here. If you don't come, I will go to your place. Help me think about it together, when the time comes The prince and concubine are coming, and I'm worried."
