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

Three days later, it was time for the tea-tasting banquet at the Anguo Mansion.

As a die-hard fan of Princess Anyang, Yun Shu came to Baishou Hall early in the morning and waited there.

When she arrived, she did nothing but sit in the hall with an expectant look on her face. Whenever someone came in or out, she would start to look around anxiously, fearing that she would not be the first to know the news of the county lady's arrival.

Seeing Yun Shu's anxious look, Rong Enqing couldn't help but laugh. She really didn't expect that Princess Anyang would have such a great influence on Yun Shu.

In the past, Yun Shu would never take the initiative to approach her. Even if you asked her to come over, she would be trembling and timid. If she came, she would want to run away. If she couldn't run away, she would shrink aside and pretend she didn't exist.

How could he be like this now, staying with her, not only was he not afraid of her, but he actually completely ignored her existence. His heart was filled with anticipation for the coming of Princess Anyang.

Like Yun Shu, everyone in Baishou Hall was eagerly looking forward to the arrival of Princess Anyang.

In the morning, Rong Enqing noticed everything. Whether it was Eryue, Chunyu, Nanshan, A'shou, or even Meixiang, who was the most patient, they all passed by the hall door from time to time.

When Ah Shou appeared at the door of the hall for the fifth time, Rong Enqing finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped him.

"A Shou!"

Ah Shou's fat body trembled, and he turned and walked into the hall, showing a big smile to Rong Enqing, "Madam, do you want to ask me something?"

"Why are you hanging around here so early in the morning instead of doing your business?" Rong Enqing looked at the clepsydra. "It's Mao time now. Aren't you supposed to be with Mr. Zhong, learning to read with him?"

After Zhong Yan moved into Mingxinyuan, he started teaching the next day.

Because the maids had their own errands to do every day, Rong Enqing asked Zhong Yan to give them a concentrated lesson for one hour every morning from 7 to 9 o'clock. The martial arts training was in the afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock, which was also one hour.

And now is the time to concentrate on learning to read.

Ah Shou shrank his neck guiltily, and after a while he said, "We, we all asked for leave today."

Rong Enqing was stunned. What the hell? Asking for leave, or asking for leave together?

Then Ah Shou said in an enthusiastic tone: "Madam, the county lady is coming to our house today! If the county lady comes, Sister Ruhua will definitely come too! You don't know how much we admire Sister Ruhua! We asked for leave today just to see Sister Ruhua! Sister Meixiang also knows about this. She agreed, so we asked for leave from Mr. Zhong."

Rong Enqing raised an eyebrow, "Did Meixiang allow it?"

Ah Shou nodded quickly, "Yes. Sister Meixiang said that we should see how capable Sister Ruhua is and how loyal she is to her master, so that we can learn from her in the future."

Rong Enqing was speechless. How come she didn't know that Meixiang also had such an unreliable side? She said she wanted the little maid to learn from Ruhua, maybe she wanted to see Ruhua's style herself?

She remembered that when she mentioned practicing martial arts before, Meixiang raised her hand without hesitation.

It turns out that Meixiang is also a fan?

"This is the only time! If you dare to ask for leave without reason again, I will let Mr. Zhong punish you to write big characters!" Rong Enqing said with a serious face.

Ah Shou was not willing to study, and had no patience for writing. When he heard Rong Enqing's words, he became depressed and replied reluctantly, "Yes. I won't dare to do it again."

At the beginning of the Si hour, the Princess of Anyang County finally arrived.

It’s a pity that some people are happy while others are sad.

The one who was happy was Yunshu, while the little maids like A Shou were sad.

Princess Anyang entered the room, exchanged greetings with Rong Enqing, and then asked in confusion, "Madam, what's wrong with the maids in your courtyard? Do they not welcome me? Why do they all look so sad?"

As soon as she entered the room, she noticed that several maids were hiding in the corridor and secretly watching her. At first they were smiling, but soon they became gloomy and disappeared.

Along the way, she met quite a few people, all of whom came up to her with big smiles on their faces, saluted and greeted her, and then began to perform face-changing shows.

If it was just one or two, it would be fine, but why are all the servants in the entire yard like this?

The Princess of Anyang County was not someone who could keep secrets in her heart. When she saw him, she naturally wanted to ask for clarification. So, she asked immediately.

Rong Enqing glanced at the unfamiliar face that followed Anyang County Lady today, and instead of answering, he asked, "Why didn't the county lady bring Miss Ruhua out today?"

Although Princess Anyang was puzzled, she still answered, "Didn't there cause trouble in the mansion last time? After returning, Ruhua was punished by Nanny Zhou to kneel for three days and three nights. The wound on her leg hasn't healed yet. Oh, by the way, Nanny Zhou is the Nanny in charge of my mansion."

Rong Enqing suddenly realized: "I was wondering why Miss Ruhua didn't go out with the county lady. It turns out that she injured her leg."

Princess Anyang smiled awkwardly and said hesitantly, "Actually, it's not because of the leg injury. It's mainly because Madam Zhou punished her by not letting her go out with me for a month."

Speaking of this, Princess Anyang couldn't help but feel guilty. Ruhua also followed orders, but she was fine, but Ruhua was punished.

Kneeling as punishment would have been fine, but Nanny Zhou was so cruel as to not allow Ruhua to go out for a month!

Before coming to the capital, she had heard that there were many delicious and fun things to do in the capital. She had originally planned to take Ruhua and the other three to eat and play all the good and fun things in the capital.

As a result, before the action even started, Ruhua was confined to her room.

She had originally wanted to plead for Ruhua, but Ruhua actually said that there was no need to plead, and she was willing to accept the punishment.

Thinking that Ruhua would rather be confined to her house in order not to embarrass her, she felt even more guilty.

Little did she know that Ruhua was not thinking about her at all. She would rather be confined to her home than go out with her again.

Rong Enqing naturally didn't know about this. Hearing what Princess Anyang said, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Aren't you wondering why the maids in my courtyard are so weird?"

The Princess of Anyang asked, "Why?"

Rong Enqing explained to her, "Because Miss Ruhua didn't come. You don't know, ever since Miss Ruhua showed her power over me that day, all the girls in my courtyard have been worshipping Miss Ruhua like crazy.

"Knowing that the county lady would be here today, these little girls started hanging around me early in the morning, just waiting to see Miss Ruhua."

Rong Enqing couldn't help laughing and said, "Now that they see that the person following you is not Miss Ruhua, it would be strange if they are not disappointed."

When Princess Anyang heard this, she was also happy. "I didn't expect that Ruhua could be so popular. But why do they admire Ruhua? Among my four maids, Ruhua has the worst martial arts, the ugliest looks, and even the shortest stature. What's more, she is a chatterbox and loves to talk about me the most!"

While Princess Anyang was listing Ruhua's faults endlessly, Tingqin, who was standing behind her, could not help but shed tears of sympathy for Ruhua in her heart.

As she spoke, Princess Anyang pointed at Tingqin behind her as if she was presenting a treasure, and said, "Madam, this is Tingqin. Like Ruhua, she is also my head maid."

Tingqin bowed respectfully and said, "Madam."

"Miss Gu, you don't need to be so polite."

Rong Enqing took a look at Tingqin in front of him. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an oval face and almond eyes. He had a generous and relaxed look and clear eyes, but his face was a little icy, and there was no trace of smile in the corners of his eyes or eyebrows.

Princess Anyang smiled and said, "Tingqin's martial arts are better than Ruhua's. She is also beautiful and doesn't nag me. The key is that Tingqin has good luck. I never run into any trouble when I take her out."

Rong Enqing glanced at Tingqin in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"

"Really." Princess Anyang nodded affirmatively, "Aren't we going to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion today? I've made an appointment with the Madam and Miss Yunshu to go with us. Nanny Zhou was afraid that something would happen to me again and implicate the Marquis' Mansion, so she asked me to take Tingqin with me."

As he spoke, he leaned towards Rong Enqing and lowered his voice, "Actually, I don't like taking Tingqin out. Tingqin is too boring. She doesn't talk to me all the way. It's so boring.

"Ruhua is still better. Even though her skills are not so good and her looks are average, at least she can still talk to me, so I won't be too bored on the way."

Rong Enqing couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Tingqin, who was standing behind Princess Anyang, twitched her lips when she heard this. Should she light a candle for herself in her heart?
