Chapter 331: Mother-in-law Looks at Son-in-law
Rong Xuan cares about Tang Ning's life experience, why doesn't Mrs. Rong care? Therefore, what Mrs. Rong asked the most was Tang Ning's life experience, what relatives he had, and so on.
This is a good answer, my mother has passed away, my father is in the palace, and there are two brothers who covet each other's property all day long, and there is an aunt......
The question is, can you talk to Mrs. Rong?
As long as the emperor did not make a clear announcement to the world, he could not say these things in public. If Mrs. Rong asked in private, Tang Ning might still hesitate.
But this is in the Rong family's living room, not only the future father-in-law and mother-in-law are present, but also the maids and servants are waiting in the hall and outside the hall.
If Tang Ning spoke directly, my father is the emperor, and there are two royal brothers, and my aunt is the eldest princess......
It is estimated that the people of the Rong family will have a black line, and the uncle looks like he is a nervous person......
So Tang Ning just said that his mother died early, and he didn't see his father when he was a child, and he was only raised by an old servant, and because he later settled in Aoki Town, he didn't know what other relatives he had.
Tang Ning's answer was not leaky, and Mrs. Rong was not surprised when she heard it, after all, everyone in Beijing knew that Tang Ning was born in the countryside.
The background is a little worse, but the marriage was given by the emperor, and Tang Ning also broke out of a huge family business.
Like General Zhenyuan, he was not also born in the countryside, but it only took more than ten years to become the top rich and noble family in the Great Zhou.
After saying that, on the whole, Mrs. Rong was still very satisfied with Tang Ning, and she became more and more cordial to Tang Ning.
It wasn't until Mrs. Rong had almost asked that Master Rong, who had been drinking tea, interjected: "General Tang is coming to the door for the first time, don't ask endlessly, let the kitchen prepare, and General Tang and I will have a few drinks." ”
Lord Rong smiled at Tang Ning and said, "Last time I told you about this wine lees duck paw, I really wasn't bragging!" When I went to Yue's house once, I became addicted, and I never got tired of eating it all these years. ”
"Mrs. Hurt often complained, saying that I was a relative who was worried about their family's sake lees duck palm."
I didn't expect Lord Rong to really love the sake lees duck palm so much, Tang Ning was also looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "The last time I heard the adults talk about it, I have always longed for it, but I have never been embarrassed to come to the door with a cheeky face." ”
Mrs. Rong smiled: "Look at what you said, this is just the work of the front and back yards, if you want to eat, just come, I will let the kitchen make it for you." ”
Tang Ning agreed, Mrs. Rong got up and took the maid to the kitchen, she wanted to go to the kitchen to take a look and arrange the dishes.
This future uncle came to the door for the first time, and the whole family treated it very solemnly, and Mrs. Rong went to the kitchen to arrange it in person and sent someone to fetch the treasured wine.
Lord Rong and Tang Ning were drinking tea and talking in the hall, talking all over the world, and there was no shortage of court affairs. Now that the two families are about to get married, there is not so much evasion between Rong and Tang Ning.
Lord Rong also knew that Tang Ning was born in the countryside, although he entered Beijing and entered the officialdom, but there was no elder to guide him, and he still knew a lot about the tricks of officialdom.
Even when Tang Ning interacted with other people, he was itching through his boots, and he rarely did anything to dig out his heart and lungs.
Although Rong Daren was born in a family of eunuchs, although his nature is weak and impatient with officialdom to compete for power and profit, the trick is still very clear, and the intricate relationships in officialdom are also clear.
The son-in-law is half a son, so Lord Rong has no reservations about Tang Ning. Tang Ning listened very carefully, like a treasure.
Although he is more mature than his peers, no one knows a little about these officialdom tricks, let alone how to pay attention to the intricacies of the relationship between Beijing and Li.
When he entered the capital, he relied on the saint to go on a rampage, although he didn't suffer any losses, but he was like a stunned person.
When Lord Rong talks about the anecdotes in the capital, it is like chatting and telling a story, and he will point out the tricks and relationships.
Tang Ning listened attentively, and asked unceremoniously if there was anything he didn't understand, and Lord Rong also smiled and patiently explained.
The two drank tea, one spoke up, the other listened fascinated, and it was not until Mrs. Rong returned that the two were interrupted.
"What are you talking about, so happy?" Mrs. Rong smiled.
Lord Rong took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said with a smile: "Idle some anecdotes in Beijing." ”
Tang Ning said with a smile: "People say that listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Listening to adults talk about these anecdotes made me pause, and if I was to think about it myself, I was afraid that I would have to ponder it for ten years. ”
This is not bad, officials who are usually born in poor families, even if they have to choose Beijing officials, without the guidance of their elders, they can only be touched after ten or eight years.
Mrs. Rong smiled: "The master is old, he just loves to nag, you just don't feel bored when you listen to it." ”
Tang Ning smiled: "Where and where, I have benefited a lot, and I have always looked forward to an elder who can guide me like this." ”
Mrs. Rong smiled gently: "It just so happens that the old man is worried that no one will listen to his nagging, this can be regarded as finding!" ”
Mrs. Rong said with a smile: "The master and General Tang have a few drinks, you might as well move to the pavilion under the shade of the flowers, the concubine is ready for the maids." :
It's more interesting to go to the gazebo for a drink, but it's more solemn to have a drink in the living room. Mrs. Rong's move did not treat Tang Ning as an outsider, after all, the gazebo drink would only happen among relatives and friends.
The shade gazebo is not in the outer courtyard.
Madame Rong commanded the maid to prepare everything, leaving the maid to wait, and then retreated with the rest of the maid.
Not only did Rong Xuan not appear, but Mrs. Rong also did not serve the table. Tang Ning knew that this was the rule of a large family, and his uncle was also a guest, and men and women had different tables.
The dishes are very rich, with a full range of colors and flavors. Tang Ning, the future uncle, came to the door for the first time, and the Rong Mansion treated it with unprecedented solemnity, Mrs. Rong personally arranged it, and the people in the kitchen also showed twelve percent of their skills.
However, what really attracted Tang Ning's eyes was the sake lees duck paw, which I had really heard Lord Rong talk about several times, and it was better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
To be honest, although Tang Ning is tired of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, he really doesn't feel rare, unless there are treasures like the three things made in the palace dining room, which makes Tang Ning feel greedy.
However, people are sometimes very strange, and there are times when they are tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but they never get tired of eating a certain snack.
Lord Rong said with a smile: "I know that you are not short of delicacies from the mountains and seas, come, first taste the duck paw of sake lees that I highly admire, it is really a must to accompany the wine!" ”
Tang Ning was also very curious about the sake lees duck palm that Rong Daren loved, and he didn't know what kind of charm it had that made Rong Daren love it more than the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
It is not as laborious as the usual duck paws, this sake lees duck paw is boneless, rotten and elastic in the mouth, and it is still its taste.
