[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing's guess made her break out in a cold sweat.

If things were really as she guessed, then the county princess and Shun'an Marquis's Mansion would be enemies forever!

At that time, would Zhou Xue stand on the side of the county lady, or would she help him in return? Rong Enqing didn't dare to imagine.

Hu Shan was not a very thoughtful person, so after Rong Enqing raised the question, he was just confused.

Rong Enqing naturally would not explain to him. He just promised again that he would go to the County Lord's Mansion to sound out the situation, and then sent the man away.

Rong Enqing felt very upset and couldn't sit still, so he wanted to walk around.

However, Meixiang, who had always been serving by his side, was not there.

"Where is Meixiang going?" Rong Enqing wondered.

Er Yue said with a gossipy look on her face, "Madam, when you were talking to Hu Shan, Mei Xiang was called away by Zi Zhong."

"Oh, that's okay. Come walk with me." Rong Enqing smiled slightly and felt a little better. Finally, there was something worth being happy about.

A few days ago, she called Zizhong over and asked him what he thought. After a little hesitation, he happily agreed to the marriage. When Meixiang found out, she was also very happy for half the night.

Both of them were not young anymore. Meixiang was about to turn 18, and Zizhong was already 25, so Rong Enqing directly scheduled their marriage for a month later.

Originally, she wanted to set a date closer in time, but Meixiang had some things to hand over to Eryue, and she also needed to prepare some dowry for Meixiang.

Zizhong also said that he would prepare a wedding for Meixiang and marry her in a grand manner.

After the marriage was decided, she stopped Meixiang from serving her and let her embroider the wedding dress in the room. However, Meixiang still served her every day and embroidered the wedding dress in her spare time or at night.

When Rong Enqing heard Eryue say that Meixiang was called away by Zizhong, he was not angry but felt very relieved.

Although their marriage was just like playing house and was decided by just one word from her, she still hoped that they could like each other.

Rong Enqing took Eryue to Tingyu Pavilion first. Since getting engaged to Xu Changping, Yunshu rarely went out. She stayed in Tingyu Pavilion embroidering her wedding dress.

"What is your young lady doing? Is she still embroidering her wedding dress?" Rong Enqing instructed Li Ma, who was waiting for her at the gate, "It's still a long way to go before she gets married. Please remind her to take her time and be careful not to hurt her eyes."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Madam." Nanny Li responded happily.

These days, she also helped the lady to sort out the fifth young lady's dowry. The thick dowry list made her eyes widen.

In the past, she was worried whether the 12,000 taels of silver dowry that the lady had promised to give to the fifth young lady when the family was divided could be given to the fifth young lady in full.

As a result, the lady not only gave it, but also gave an extra 10,000 taels. Adding the things sent by the county lady, the fifth young lady's dowry was almost 30,000 taels.

Two months later, when the betrothal gift from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion is delivered, if it is also added as a dowry for the Fifth Miss to take away, wow... Nanny Li feels that she can wake up from her sleep with a smile for the Fifth Miss.

Nanny Li quickly pulled back her racing thoughts and said with a smile, "Young lady is not embroidering at the moment, she is practicing calligraphy."

Rong Enqing was puzzled and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of practicing calligraphy?"

Nanny Li smiled and said, "Mr. Xu Wu sent Miss several gifts and two letters. When Miss wrote back, she found that her handwriting was far from that of Mr. Xu Wu, so she decided to practice calligraphy."

In fact, she was just trying to cover up for her young lady by saying that their handwriting was very different. No one had cared about their young lady since she was young, and her ability to read was the result of her efforts in recent months. As for the handwriting, it was even more difficult to describe.

Before, the young lady thought that being able to recognize words was good enough. But until she saw the beautiful regular script of Mr. Xu Wu, the young lady was ashamed and prepared to practice her calligraphy, saying that she couldn't reply to Mr. Xu Wu's letter with her dog-paddling handwriting. So, she didn't reply to the two letters written by Mr. Xu Wu, but just sent someone to take the message back.

Later, Mr. Xu Wu heard from somewhere that Yun Shu was practicing calligraphy, so he sent a copy of the calligraphy to her. Then, Yun Shu became even more enthusiastic in practicing calligraphy.

Rong Enqing didn't come over these days, so he didn't realize that Yun Shu had quietly started to change for Master Xu Wu.

Rong Enqing naturally didn't know about the turn of events. He just thought that it was a good thing that Yun Shu was positive.

So, he didn't go into the house to disturb Yunshu practicing calligraphy. He just looked out the window and left.

After coming out of Tingyuxuan, Rong Enqing turned and went to Mingxinyuan which was not far away.

In Mingxin Courtyard, Yunluo was listening to Mr. Zhong’s lecture.

Rong Enqing did not go in to disturb them, but stood outside the window and watched quietly.

Yun Luo looked at Mr. Zhong who was teaching with bright eyes, and asked some questions from time to time. Mr. Zhong would patiently answer her every time, his eyes full of amazement.

On the other hand, A Shou, Nan Shan and the others all looked confused and could not understand the conversation between Yun Luo and Mr. Zhong. It was obvious that Yun Luo had already widened the gap with the others.

Mr. Zhong saw Rong Enqing outside the window, told everyone to study on their own, and then walked out quickly.

"Madam." Mr. Zhong greeted Rong Enqing with a smile, "Why are you here? Come this way."

Then he took Rong Enqing to the tea room next door.

After the two of them sat down, Mr. Zhong personally poured a cup of tea for Rong Enqing, and then asked, "What's the matter with the Madam when she comes over?"

Rong Enqing smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just walking around. How are these kids doing?"

Speaking of schoolwork, Mr. Zhong became interested and said with a slightly excited tone: "Yunluo is the most talented child I have ever seen. She learns things quickly and can apply them to other situations. If she were a boy, she would have a bright future. What a pity!"

Rong Enqing had an expression that said, "As expected." After all, she was the heroine, so she had some learning ability that was different from that of ordinary people.

"What about the others?"

Mr. Zhong frowned slightly, "The other children are a little bit behind. But literacy is not a problem. Well, the child named Nanshan is the most hardworking, a little better than the others, but also limited. Yunluo is still gifted, and I like him very much."

Rong Enqing could tell that Yunluo was the best student.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Zhong."

Rong Enqing politely spoke to Mr. Zhong for a while, but did not stay long and soon left Mingxin Courtyard.

Counting the days, in a few days, Yun Luo’s 100-day mourning period will be over.

It’s time to put the matter of formal adoption into the family tree on the agenda.

Thinking of this, Rong Enqing turned back to Baishou Hall and asked someone to call Butler Li over.

However, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Meixiang coming back from outside, looking distraught.
