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

Half an hour later, Eryue came back, but the couple from Room 4 still hadn't come.

Rong Enqing asked Er Yue with a gloomy face: "What happened to the fourth room?"

Er Yue's face was also very ugly. She did not cover up for the Fourth House at all. She said bluntly: "The Fourth Madam and the Fourth Master had a big fight. She said that the Fourth Master wanted to take a concubine, so she divorced her first!"

Rong Enqing frowned, "Yun Hai wants to take a concubine? Who does he like?"

Well, Xiao Rongshi is not very pretty, and she is also a domineering, unreasonable, and violent person. It is really unfair for Yunhai to marry her. However, since Yunhai married Xiao Rongshi, he should live a good life with her. Want to take a concubine? Oh, not to mention that Xiao Rongshi is not happy, she will definitely not agree!

As soon as Rong Enqing finished speaking, Er Yue hurriedly explained: "Madam, you misunderstood the Fourth Master. It's not that the Fourth Master wants to take a concubine. It's clearly the Fourth Madam who is looking for trouble." Er Yue made the trip in person and felt really sorry for Yun Hai.

I was a little annoyed by Yun Hai's enthusiasm, but my anger suddenly subsided. "What's going on?"

Er Yue said indignantly, "Madam, you don't know that since the separation of the family, the Fourth Madam has been very strict with the Fourth Master. No matter how old or young the maids in the entire Fourth House are, as long as there is a pretty one, the Fourth Madam treats them like a thief. As long as she sees the Fourth Master talking to someone, she will catch the person and make a scene.

"Before leaving this morning, the Fourth Master just said a few words to Xiao Huan, but the Fourth Madam refused to give in. Not only did she beat Xiao Huan, she also beat and scolded the Fourth Master, saying that the Fourth Master despised her and wanted to take a concubine. No matter how the Fourth Master tried to persuade or coax her, the Fourth Madam would not give up."

"Xiao Huan?" Rong Enqing frowned, puzzled. This name sounded familiar.

Er Yue quickly reminded her, "Madam, you forgot that Xiao Huan came from Qinghui Hall. She used to be a second-class maid serving you. Later, when the mansion was divided, she was taken over by the Fourth Madam."

Rong Enqing just remembered this person. She remembered that she was a very pretty girl. When Xiao Rong wanted to leave, she was worried. Now it seems that something has happened.

As if she had guessed what Rong Enqing was thinking, Er Yue complained for Xiao Huan, "Madam, this is not Xiao Huan's fault at all. Before leaving the house in the morning, the Fourth Master just told Xiao Huan to take good care of Yun Ying. With just these words, the Fourth Madam started making a fuss."

Rong Enqing looked at Er Yue in disbelief, "Why would Xiao Rong be so desperate?"

February shook her head. She didn't know either.

When she was still in the Marquis' Mansion, Xiao Rong relied on the favor of the original body and was as arrogant as she wanted. She didn't care about anyone. Even Rong Enqing was turned away and scolded by her several times.

But now, you are actually being so petty?

Rong Enqing was helpless, "Then can you tell me what I asked you to say?"

Er Yue nodded and said with a grim expression, "Yes. The Fourth Master wanted to come over, but the Fourth Madam stopped him from leaving. She also said that if the Fourth Master dared to leave, she would take Yunying back to her parents' home and he would never see Yunying again."

"You bastard!" Rong Enqing felt his anger rising up. He really wanted to pry open Xiao Rong's head to see what was in her head and why she was so noisy.

Seeing Rong Enqing was angry, Meixiang quickly patted her chest to help her calm down. "Madam, don't be angry. Being angry will shorten your life."

As soon as these words came out, Rong Enqing took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, calming himself down and saying, "That's right! Don't get angry! Getting angry will shorten your life, and I want to live a hundred years. Huh, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

Eryue looked at Meixiang in surprise, and saw Meixiang smiling and winking at Eryue, meaning that she would tell her later.

After Rong Enqing calmed down, Meixiang reminded him again: "Madam, now that the fourth master and the fourth mistress can't come over, Madam must be getting anxious. You see, should we tell Madam?"

Rong Enqing nodded, "It's time to tell them. Yannian is very agile, so let her go. Just tell them that the fourth brother and his wife have something to do and can't come today. Let Zhang think of a way to distribute the tasks that they are responsible for to other people."

"Yes." Er Yue answered, and just as he was about to go out, he ran into Zhang who came in quickly. He quickly bowed and said, "Madam, the Madam was just asking someone to look for you, and you are here by chance."

Zhang nodded to Er Yue, walked quickly to Rong Enqing, and said anxiously, "Mother, my fourth brother and his wife..."

Rong Enqing waved his hand to interrupt Zhang's words, "They can't come today. Let's assign the tasks they are responsible for today to other people."

Hearing this, Zhang was not panicked. Instead, she felt relieved, and even the anxiety on her face was less.

When everyone was puzzled, they heard Zhang's explanation: "I saw that my fourth brother and his wife were late, so I was going to assign the tasks they were responsible for, but I was afraid that after I assigned the tasks, they would come again. Then, it would be embarrassing for both sides."

So, now that she has received the confirmed news that the couple from Room 4 will not be coming, she will feel relieved.

Rong Enqing nodded and said nothing.

Zhang continued, "I'll hand over the things that Fourth Brother is in charge of to Third Brother, so he can take care of them as well. But the things that Fourth Brother's wife is in charge of are a little difficult to handle."

Rong Enqing asked, "What did you give her?"

"It's not a big deal actually. When the time comes, mother and I will personally take care of the guests at Tingfeng Courtyard. Outside, my second brother and Yun Ye will entertain guests at Rongsheng Hall. The remaining Tinghe Courtyard is used to entertain young ladies from various families. We were originally planning to let our fourth sister-in-law and fifth sister go there to entertain them. But now, our fourth sister-in-law can't come. How about letting fifth sister entertain them first, and when our second sister-in-law is done, we can go over to help?"

Zhang was a little embarrassed. Song was originally an official's wife, and it was her duty to greet guests at the door and then accompany Rong Enqing to entertain the guests.

But now they were going to send people aside after welcoming the guests and not let them see anyone? Zhang Shi always felt that it was not good.

After listening to Zhang's arrangement, Rong Enqing waved his hand and said, "No need to be so troublesome. Let's make the same arrangements today as Song's did before. As for Tingheyuan, since little Rong can't come, don't we still have Yunshu? Let her be in charge of entertaining guests at Tingheyuan today."

"Is this possible?" Zhang's heart was in a knot. Yun Shu was so timid and cowardly? If she was asked to entertain the ladies alone, she would be like a rabbit in a wolf's den. Wouldn't she be so scared that she would collapse?

Rong Enqing knew what Zhang was worried about. To be honest, she didn't think Yun Shu was qualified for this job. However, Yun Shu's personality couldn't be changed in a short time. Unfortunately, Yun Shu was at such an age that she didn't have the extra time to change slowly.

So, Rong Enqing prepared to give her drastic measures.

At today's banquet, Yun Shu was left alone to entertain the guests. She might make a fool of herself or even have a breakdown. But she might also gain some changes as a result.

Yun Shu's living environment was too simple in the past. From childhood to adulthood, the only people around her were Nanny Li and the two maids who served her.

She had no chance to contact the outside world, nor did she have the opportunity to learn to be independent.

Moreover, Nanny Li who was by her side protected her too well.

Let's not talk about anything else. In the past month since Rong Enqing came here, she occasionally saw Yun Shu a few times, and Li Ma followed her. If she missed something, Li Ma would pull her sleeve to remind her. If she encountered something and couldn't explain it clearly, Li Ma would supplement it for her, explain it for her, and help her get away with it. As for herself, she didn't have to do anything, and she didn't know how to do anything.

Rong Enqing felt that today's flower banquet was a good opportunity.
