Chapter 2317 The old lady of Rongge (first update)


Chapter 2317 Old Madam Rongge (1st update)

The invitation from Rongge Old Mansion?

Han Ruyi was surprised for a moment, then took the invitation handed over by the woman with both hands, and opened it carefully to read it.

"What are you writing about?" the woman asked from the side.

The upbringing and rules of aristocratic families are like this. This is an invitation to Han Ruyi. Even if she is a mother, she will not easily open it and check it after passing it.

After Han Ruyi read the invitation, a hint of excitement and joy appeared on her face.

She quickly said to the woman in front of her: "Mr. Rongge's wife invited me to attend a poetry gathering at Cuizhu House tomorrow night."

"A poetry gathering at Cuizhu House?" The woman raised her eyebrows, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Han Ruyi nodded quickly, "It's written in black and white, absolutely true. Mr. Rongge's wife didn't invite me three years ago, and I was very unhappy."

"I don't know if I missed it. What? ”

"I didn't expect that she would invite me this year. Mom, I'm so excited!"

Han Ruyi said.

She often attended poetry gatherings held regularly by aristocratic ladies in the capital.

However, it was all for small groups to entertain themselves.

But she had never participated in Cuizhulou’s triennial poetry gathering for celebrities in the capital.

When the woman heard this, she also showed a happy look on her face.

"Rongge Lao is one of the three great bachelors in the cabinet. He is well-read in poetry and books. All the princes, except the second prince, are students of Mr. Rongge."

"Rongge Lao When Mr. Ge was thirty-seven years old, his first husband He passed away. "

"Ten years later, I just married the daughter of the Gusu Lin family to fill the house, the lady who sent you the invitation."

The woman told her what she knew. , said this to Han Ruyi.

This is to give her enough homework, so that she won't have to worry about attending the poetry meeting tomorrow night.

“This Lin family was seventeen years old when she married Mr. Rongge. She was a talented woman from Gusu.” The second place on the list, the top five winners"

"is famous. She comes from a scholarly family, and it is said that Miss Lin has been practicing calligraphy and studying with these cousins ​​since she was a child. Unfortunately, she is a girl and cannot take part in the scientific examination."

"Otherwise, it would be a sure thing. The top talent.”

"A talented woman is naturally arrogant. At the age of seventeen, the matchmakers who came to ask for her hand in marriage almost crossed the threshold of the Lin family, but she just couldn't get along."

"Until that year, Rong Ge's wife The King of Qi went south for a private visit, came to Gusu, and stayed at the Lin family."

"Because Rongge did the same when he was young. A talented person, so the young master of the Lin family has no choice but to call one of his descendants to the front of the hall to listen to his teachings.”

“It happened that Miss Lin stood up and wanted to discuss knowledge with Mr. Rongge.”

“ It was music, chess, calligraphy and painting, comparing the past and present, and tried everything. In the end, Miss Lin was convinced.”

"Not only did I accept it, but I also completely admired Mr. Rongge. First, I was impressed by his profound knowledge, and then, my daughter's family fell in love with the man..."

"Wait a minute!"

Han Ruyi suddenly interrupted the woman.

This move, in the eyes of wealthy people, is very unruly.

So the woman's brows frowned in displeasure.

Han Ruyi realized that she had lost her composure and said quickly: "Mom, I was surprised when I heard something, so I interrupted you hastily. I didn't mean it, and I ask for your understanding."

The woman's frown slowly relaxed: "Why are you surprised? Tell me. "

Han Ruyi said: "Mother, did you just say that Miss Lin fell in love with Mr. Rongge?" The woman nodded, "Yes"

Han. Ruyi stretched out her fingers to calculate, "How old was Mr. Rongge back then?"

The woman said: "Forty-seven."

"What about Lin?"

"Seventeen."

"Huh? Thirty years older. Years old. This, you can become a grandson!" Han Ruyi couldn't believe it.

The fifteen-year-old generation is just the grandfather and granddaughter!

If you are a concubine for the emperor, it is not surprising that you are thirty years younger. After all, the emperor's house is like that!

However, this arrogant Miss Lin is really attracted to Mr. Rongge, who is thirty years older than her. This shocked Han Ruyi.

Here, the woman thought it was a problem, but it turned out to be this?

She smiled and shook her head, saying, "Mr. Rongge and Mr. Lin, this is also fate. When fate comes, there is no way to stop it."

"I want to tell you. Yes, ten years have passed since Lin married Mr. Rong Ge, even though they are an old man and a young wife.”

"But Mrs. Lin is extremely favored and admired by Mr. Rongge. The two of them raise eyebrows and respect each other as if they were guests."

"Mr. Rongge even dismissed the concubine from the former mansion for Mrs. Lin."< br>
"Rongge is always the right-hand man of the current emperor. Any major national policy decisions made by His Majesty the King of Qi will be made privately. I will seek the opinions of the three bachelors. "

" Among the three bachelors, the age, qualifications, seniority, and knowledge of Rong Ge are inferior to those of the other two. "< br>
“So, Mr. Rong Ge cannot be offended, and his wife Lin must not be offended.”

"Ruyi, even if you are destined to be a prince's concubine in the future, which prince you will be a concubine to is not something we, your parents, can control. It depends on the emperor, Mr. Rongge and others."

"That's why I guessed that Mrs. Lin sent invitation letters to you and other ladies."

"The poetry meeting at Cuizhu House tomorrow night may not be It’s just a simple poetry meeting.”

“It is very likely that Lin is selecting suitable concubine candidates for several princes in advance. Ruyi, you have to prepare well for tomorrow night’s poetry. Yes, you must let Mr. Lin notice you and appreciate you.”

“Winning her favor will be of great benefit to your marriage.”

The woman's words really gave Han Ruyi hope.

Why?

She was not going for the princes, she was thinking that since Lin was so capable, she could have an influence on the prince's marriage.

Then, you should also be able to take charge of the marriages of the young civil servants and generals in the court, right?

If I win the favor of Mrs. Lin, I can ask her to ask Mr. Rongge to suggest to the emperor that I betrothed to Mu Zichuan, that would be beautiful!

"Mom, don't worry. Ruyi will definitely perform well in the poetry and prose meeting at Cuizhulou tomorrow night." Han Ruyi said.

The woman was very relieved to hear this assurance.

"Those who go there tomorrow night must be all the ladies from the most prestigious aristocratic families in the capital. Ruyi, you must behave well and let Mrs. Lin notice you and appreciate you!" she said .

Han Ruyi nodded heavily again.

The woman was relieved, "Then you should be ready, I will leave first."

Han Ruyi leaned forward and respectfully saw the woman off on the bed.

Before she left, the woman glanced at the maid standing next to her, and warned: "You can follow me tomorrow night and serve the lady. Even though you are a maid, you must know the rules and don't lose yourself. It has ruined the face of our Taishi Mansion!”
