MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 210
On the second day, Rong Xin and the others got up early in the morning and took the carriage to Merlin.
Rong Xin was worried that Dongzhu would stay in the palace alone, so she simply took her there, surrounded by many guards, and her safety was guaranteed.
The carriage stopped in front of Merlin, Rong Xin put on Dongzhu's cloak, and then stepped on the pedals.
Companion, Feng Shui not to mention, the location is really excellent.
There are no weeds around the tomb of Qi mama, and there are enshrinements in front of the monument, presumably someone has been visiting the tomb to pay homage.
About those two old palace attendants…
Rong Xin finished the incense first, then took Dongzhu's hand and stood to one side, watching Qianhang and Xueqing kowtow, while babbling to Dongzhu: "Mother Qi, it's like ours Mother. When I was young, I thought she was very strict, but when I got older, I realized that she was actually very kind."
Dongzhu looked at her sideways, then leaned lightly on Rong Xin's arm.
Rong Xin put her arms around Dongzhu's shoulders and said softly, "Later, I will take Gege into the village to have a look. I have a small courtyard there."
Qianhang and Xueqing knelt on the futon, their faces sad, maybe it was a catharsis yesterday, but there are not many tears on their faces today.
Perhaps, they feel sorry for the Empress, Qi Ma, they have done their best.
After a long time, the two got up, and Rong Xin said, "Go for a walk in the village and then go back to the palace. Let's come back in a few days."
Qianhang and Xueqing agreed, ready to put away the futon.
Suddenly, Dongzhu let go of Rong Xin's hand and walked to the tombstone.
The three of Rong Xin were puzzled at first, and then saw Dongzhu taking out three incense sticks, imitating the three of them and inserting the incense heads into the pot of burning paper money, and then bowed three times to the tombstone.
Rong Xin couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, her eyes were very relieved, she returned to the carriage, also hugged Dongzhu and said, "We Gege are really kind children under the heaven."
Qianhang and Xueqing agreed, and both looked at Dongzhu with a smile.
Dongzhu's eyes swept across the three of them, unable to bear their gazes, she lowered her head to avoid.
The carriage drove for another quarter of an hour and entered the village, still attracting the attention of the villagers, until the carriage stopped outside Rong Xin's courtyard.
Rong Xin hurriedly helped her up and said softly, "Mammy Sui, don't be too polite, and don't make any publicity, let's go first."
Mammy Sui quickly wiped away the tears of excitement on her face, and after welcoming a few people in, she said, "Miss Rong, don't call me Mama Sui, my family's original surname is Shi, I am now Take your husband's surname."
The husband that Sui Sui said was an old **** who had a pair of food in the palace, and the two lived in Rong Xin's yard for the rest of their lives.
Rong Xin exclaimed obediently, "Mrs. Shi, how are you doing all these years?"
Mother Sui nodded, "In this village, no one knows our identity, we live very comfortably."
"That's good." Rong Xin glanced around casually and asked, "Why haven't you seen Mr. Shi?"
"We didn't know you would come to Zunhua. A few days ago, I came back to pay homage to Qi Momo. When he returned to town yesterday, he was worried and went to deliver it in person." Sui Momo said , his eyes fell on Dongzhu, and he soon noticed something different, and said with some doubts, "Female officer, dare to think this is..."
Rong Xin did not hide it from her, and introduced: "This is the eldest daughter of the crown prince and the crown prince."
Mother Sui was startled, and hurriedly knelt down again and gave a big gift: "The servant greets Gege!"
Dongzhu didn't respond, Rong Xin helped Sui Momo up on her behalf, "Gege doesn't like to talk, Madam Shi, get up."
We have to rush back to the palace, we can’t delay here, Madam Shi doesn’t have to worry about it.”
When Mammy Sui heard it, she apologized: "Gege and the female official came over, but I didn't entertain them well, I feel really guilty."
"Never mind, sit down and let's have a few words."
Mother Sui glanced at Gege, then sat on the stool carefully under Rong Xin's instructions, and said a little cautiously: "If you have any questions, just ask."
"We are old acquaintances, so you don't have to be so polite." Rong Xin was not polite to her, and asked directly, "You said, Xu Siwen came back to pay homage to Qi Momo?"
Mammy Sui replied: "Yes, they are both good children. They have lived together for many years and have taken care of us a lot. Earlier, our husband and wife went to visit the grave and they all went together. Later, Siming went to visit us. Siwen is studying in the town, and Siwen also opened an embroidery shop in the town, which makes it possible to come back every few days.”
Rong Xin nodded, not surprisingly.
When Xu Si asked to see Qi Momo, she was already dying, and the two of them didn't have much friendship or even communication.
But Rong Xin thinks that she has some eye for people. Xu Siming is still young, but Xu Siwen is a very good girl. Now it seems that she is not wrong.
However, thinking of what she said earlier, Rong Xin asked again, "You said your husband sent her back to town, where is her husband? Or...she didn't get married?"
Rong Xin had a hunch that Xu Siwen might not be married.
Sure enough, Sui Mammy sighed and said, "Si Wen, that child, relying on her good embroidery skills all these years, the people who seek marriage have never stopped, good and bad, but she always insists I don't want to get married."
It may be particularly difficult for folk women to live without marriage, Xueqing asked curiously: "Why is this?"
"We all thought she was for Siming to study, but later two couples offered very generous betrothal gifts and expressed their support for Siming's study, but she still wasn't tempted, it was just the reason, but it didn't Say it." Sui Mo said worriedly, "The names of those two children were named by the female official, so I will not hide from you. Our husband and wife secretly guessed whether she might be someone who cares about her..."
Rong Xin narrowed her eyes, and then said: "She is a girl with a plan, you two just spend your old age here."
"In the past ten years, it is inevitable that I have to worry more, but there is really no way to worry about it."
Rong Xin nodded, looked up at the sky outside, then got up and said, "It's time for us to return to the palace."
Mother Sui immediately got up to see them off, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and asked, "Will you come again?"
Rong Xin didn't give the right words, and told her not to spread the story of Grid, and then a few people got on the carriage and left the village.
Three days later, the prince took half a day to pay homage to Qi Momo. He had no plans to enter the village, so he just stood with the eldest grandson of the emperor in front of Meilin - Qi Momo's tomb.
The eldest grandson looked at the unfamiliar name on the tombstone and asked, "Ama, is the relationship between Mammy Qi and you just like Mama and our brothers and sisters?"
Prince withdrew his thoughts from his nostalgia and nodded, "It's almost the same."
It's just that in addition to Qi Momo, the prince also has his aunt, and many palace attendants from Kunning Palace...
There was a trace of tears in the eyes of the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he suddenly choked up: "Mummy hurt her hand earlier, Hong Zhao and Hongzhao are so scared, I don't want mama to leave me."
The prince slowly closed his eyes, gently embraced the shoulders of the eldest grandson, and comforted him silently.
On the other side of Merlin, Xu Si asked his sister and brother to hear people in the village say that Merlin was coming, thinking that it was Rong Xin who came again, and rushed over with excitement, but in the vaguely seeing Merlin After the person, stop.
Xu Siming's eyes were a little confused. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "Sister, is that Mr. Rong's relative?"
"Sister, let's ask this son, he must know where Mr. Rong is." Xu Siming said, and was about to move forward.
Xu Siwen grabbed his brother's arm and slowly shook his head under his puzzled gaze, "Since Mr. Rong is not here, let's not disturb others."
"But..."
Xu Siwen is no longer the girl full of girlish thoughts ten years ago, her eyes fell on the young man beside the man, and she turned around without hesitation, "No but, go back. "
The prince's guards had already discovered their siblings. Seeing that the two did not approach, but left directly, they just regarded them as ordinary villagers, and did not even inform the prince.
