Chapter 234 Waiting for good news
For a moment, Mu Rong couldn't believe it.
It turned out that what she was busy doing before going to bed last night was preparing ointment for herself.
I held the small purple porcelain bottle in my hand, turning it over and over, and all kinds of feelings surged into my heart.
He was a first-rank military marquis and had received many rare treasures in his two lives, but this little medicine made his heart beat wildly.
"Thank you." He murmured, "This thing is worth a thousand pounds to me."
"A thousand gold?" Xu Rongrong said with a smile, "That's about right. Whether it's the Yuhong or the Xuejiecao, they are both rare and precious items in the Fanfan. They are indeed worth a thousand gold in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"The poison in your body has not been eliminated yet. Will this encounter with red be harmful to your health?" Mu Rong asked.
Xu Rongrong shook her head. "Don't worry, my Lord. The red grass's freezing poison is released by them to hide themselves. Only large-scale contact for a long time will cause poisoning. I was extra careful this time and will not be poisoned."
"Even so, don't try this again." Mu Rong frowned, as if looking at a disobedient child. "I'll send a military doctor to help you later."
Xu Rongrong originally thought that these were minor matters that did not require the use of military doctors. Even if she really did not encounter red grass in the future, the doctors employed in the pharmacies in the eight alleys of the capital could still help.
But seeing the slightly dim color in Mu Rong's eyes, she couldn't say no for a moment.
She nodded: "Thank you very much, my Lord."
"So it was the Marquis who tripped the County Lady. I was wondering why he had been standing outside for so long and no one had come out." Madam Lu walked in with a smile on her face. Seeing her coming, Xu Rongrong hurriedly said, "I have been ill these days, and I haven't packed up the scattered things yet. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Madam Lu smiled and glanced at Mu Rong: "Everything will be packed up eventually, but the more you talk, the more you talk."
Seeing her joking, the thin-skinned Xu Rongrong's cheeks suddenly turned red.
Mu Rong said openly, "The county lady will have to trouble Madam to take care of her from now on. I will have to go to the mansion to bother you."
Madam Lu smiled and said, "If you come to my house, no one will say anything, but my old man will be happy. As for Zhuxiang Yayuan... there's a wall between them, so naturally they can't bother me here. I don't like to meddle in the affairs of you young people."
Mu Rong smiled and bowed deeply.
Xu Rongrong did not stay any longer. She held Mrs. Lu's hand and left without looking back.
Her face was red, as if covered with powder. Seeing that the little girl was thin-skinned, Mrs. Lu stopped teasing her.
As soon as he got on the carriage, the frame was hit.
Xu Rongrong lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw another beautiful carriage passing by. From the carriage came the giggling and chattering sounds of young girls.
Luo Shu pouted and said, "How reckless! If you're rushing to the Flower Festival banquet, there's no need to make the car stagger."
Xu Rongrong lowered the curtain and sighed, "It must be another feast."
Although she has experienced two lifetimes, she is afraid that she will never have the chance to celebrate this festival again.
On the way to move to Zhuxiang Yayuan, Xu Rongrong passed by the garden where the Flower Festival banquet was held. The green core of the garden was in full bloom. Although there was not much beautiful scenery, visiting the garden at this time also had its own unique flavor, so the Flower Festival banquet was also called a garden party.
Through the flickering curtains, Xu Rongrong could see the radiant faces of the young men and women outside. Suddenly, a figure jumped into her sight.
It’s Lin Jiaoyue.
She was standing outside the garden, as if waiting for someone.
Because she had lost her title of princess, the noble ladies all knew that she was disliked by the emperor and empress. When facing ordinary girls, her every gesture and movement was deliberate. Therefore, although her appearance was not much different from before, no one was willing to approach her.
Among the crowd of two or three people, they stand out particularly.
As for the person she was waiting for...it was Cheng Jintong who was about to get into trouble.
Xu Rongrong was too lazy to look anymore and simply closed her eyes and rested in the car.
I believe we will all know the result of today by noon.
She had to personally avenge Lin Jiaoyue for what she and Wen Yao had done.
Soon, the carriage stopped outside the gate of Zhuxiang Yayuan. Madam Lu got off the carriage first and said, "Our yard hasn't been taken care of all winter. Please don't mind the mess."
Xu Rongrong was aware of the reputation of Zhuxiang Yayuan, so she didn't dare to be arrogant. She laughed and said, "I'm afraid that vulgar people like us have desecrated the courtyard."
Zhuxiang Yayuan is a two-entry courtyard with a side courtyard on the east and west sides, plus a garden.
Luo Chen arranged for Chu Yun to live in the east yard yesterday.
As soon as she entered the door, Xu Rongrong saw an acquaintance: Zheng Xiaoshi.
Seeing Xu Rongrong and the others come in, she stepped forward with a smile: "Mrs. Xiao pays her respects to the county lady and the two young ladies."
Xu Rongrong was a little confused: "Why are you here?"
Mrs. Xiao has been living in the farm in the southern suburbs, and her husband has difficulty walking, so why is he here now?
"My Lady, you forgot. Now you are the owner of the Nanjiao Manor. You moved here. My Lord was afraid that he would not be able to find a suitable housekeeper for a while, so he sent the old woman here to look after you for a few days. Once you find a suitable housekeeper, I will return to the Nanjiao."
When they were in the southern suburbs, Mrs. Xiao was very meticulous and careful in her work. She would even prepare things in advance that they had not expected.
The only drawback is that he seems a little noisy around Xu Rongrong.
"It would be great if you could come and help." Xu Rongrong said with a smile.
When Luo Shu heard his young lady say this, he understood that she agreed to hand over the management of this place to Mrs. Xiao, so he walked forward affectionately and took Mrs. Xiao's arm: "Since you are here first, please show us around the yard."
Luo Shu is a girl with a lively personality. She got along very well with Mrs. Xiao in the southern suburbs. Now that she sees her here, she is naturally very happy.
Wen Yao smiled and said, "Don't go if you want to. I still have to clean up the house for the young lady."
Xu Rongrong's room was in the middle of the backyard, with three large rooms. The east side was the living room and bedroom. There were bamboos planted in front of the door, which rustled in the wind.
The middle room is used for daily meetings and meals. The decoration of the room is very elegant and simple, which suits Xu Rongrong's temperament very well.
The westernmost room was divided into two by a bamboo screen, one was used as a tea room and the other was the maids' room.
The entire courtyard was clean and tidy. Except for the bamboo forest, the backyard was completely clean and empty.
Xu Rongrong couldn't help but feel strange. This place was different from what she had imagined.
Mrs. Lu, who came in behind, knew what was going on at a glance, so she smiled and said, "The old man has a peculiar personality. He always says that the house should be clean, and that elegance and refinement have their place. That's why our yard has always been plain. Besides, the backyard is usually for the female family members to live in. In my family... there are no other female family members, so there are few people living here, and it's even plainer. If you want to see the fun, after a rest, I'll take you to the garden to have a look." Xu Rongrong hurriedly thanked her.
But she had things to deal with today, so she made an excuse. Mrs. Lu didn't force her, saying that she was just tired, after all, she hadn't recovered yet.
So he advised her to rest more and then went out to instruct Mrs. Xiao about the matters in the yard.
Xu Rongrong sat on the couch. She hadn't been out like this for a long time and was indeed a little tired.
Luo Shu walked in: "Brother has already taken care of it."
Xu Rongrong nodded: "Then let's wait for good news."
