Chapter 2316 Mrs. Rongge (one more)
An invitation from Rongge's old mansion?
Han Ruyi was surprised, and then took the invitation card from the woman with both hands, and carefully opened it to read.

"What did you write?" the woman asked from the side.

The upbringing and rules of the noble family are like this. This is an invitation to Han Ruyi. Even if she is a mother, she will not open it for inspection easily.

After Han Ruyi read the invitation, there was a trace of excitement and joy on his face.

She hurriedly said to the woman in front of her: "Mrs. Rong Ge's wife invited me to the Cuizhulou to attend the poetry gathering tomorrow night."

"Poetry gathering in Cuizhulou?" The woman raised her eyebrows, and a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes.

Han Ruyi nodded quickly, "It's true in black and white. Three years ago, Mrs. Rongge's wife didn't invite me, so I was very unhappy."

"I don't know if I missed it, or what?"

"I didn't expect that she invited me this year, mother, I'm so excited!"

Han Ruyi said.

She often attends the regular poetry meetings held by noble ladies in the capital.

However, that is all for the small group to entertain themselves.

However, she has never participated in the poetry and prosess meeting of the famous ladies in the capital held every three years in Cuizhulou.

When the woman heard this, she also had a look of joy on her face.

"Old Rongge is one of the three great scholars in the cabinet. He has read poetry and books. The princes, except for the second prince, are all students of Elder Rongge."

"When Mr. Rong Ge was 37 years old, his wife passed away."

"Ten years later, I just married a girl from the Lin family in Gusu to fill in the house, that is, the lady who sent you the invitation."

The woman told Han Ruyi what she knew.

It can be regarded as doing enough homework for her, so that I won't have any doubts about going to the poetry meeting tomorrow night.

"This Mrs. Lin was seventeen years old when she married Elder Rong Ge, and she was a talented woman in Gusu."

"The Lin family of Gusu has three champions in one school, second in fourth, and top five."

"It's a well-known scholarly family, and this Ms. Lin, it is said that she has been studying calligraphy and reading with these cousins ​​since she was a child, but it is a pity that she is a daughter and cannot participate in the scientific examination."

"Otherwise, you will be the number one scholar."

"Talented girl, she is naturally proud and arrogant. At seventeen, the matchmakers who came to propose a marriage almost broke through the threshold of the Lin family, but she just couldn't match her."

"Until that year, Elder Rongge accompanied King Qi to the south for a private visit, came to Gusu, and stayed at the Lin family."

"Because Rongge was also a genius when he was young, the Lin family had to call a kind of descendant to the hall to listen to his teachings."

"It happened that Miss Lin stepped forward and wanted to learn from Rong Ge."

"It's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I compared the past to the present. I tried everything. In the end, Miss Lin convinced me."

"Not only was he convinced, but he also thoroughly admired Elder Rongge. First, he was impressed by his profound knowledge, and then, the daughter's family fell in love with the man..."

"Wait a moment!"

Han Ruyi suddenly interrupted the woman.

This move, in the eyes of the big family, is very unruly.

So the woman frowned in displeasure.

Han Ruyi realized that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly said: "Mother, I was quite surprised when I heard something, so I hurriedly interrupted you. I didn't mean it, please forgive me."

The woman's frowning brows slowly relaxed: "Where are you surprised, tell me."

Han Ruyi said casually, "Mother, did you just say that Miss Lin fell in love with Elder Rongge?"

The woman nodded, "Yes."

Han Ruyi stretched out her finger to count, "How old was Rong Ge?"

The woman said: "47."

"What about Lin?"

"Seventeen."

"Ah? I'm 30 years older. This, this can be a grandchild!" Han Ruyi couldn't believe it.

The 15-year-old generation is just grandpa and granddaughter!

If it is said to be a concubine for the emperor, it is not surprising that she is 30 years younger. The emperor's house, isn't that the case!

However, this arrogant Miss Lin really fell in love with Rong Ge, who was 30 years older than herself, which shocked Han Ruyi severely.

Here, the woman thought it was a problem, but it turned out to be this?

She shook her head with a smile, and said, "Mr. Rongge and Mrs. Lin, this is also fate. Fate has come, and you can't stop it."

"What I want to tell you is that ten years have passed since Mrs. Lin married Mr. Rongge, even though she was an old husband and young wife."

"But this Mrs. Lin is very much loved and admired by Elder Rongge. The two of them raise their eyebrows together and treat each other with respect."

"Elder Rong Ge dismissed the former concubine from the mansion for Lin's sake."

"Rongge is always the right-hand man of the current emperor. His Majesty King Qi will always consult the opinions of the three great scholars in private for any major national policy decisions."

"Among the three great scholars, Rong Ge's age, qualifications, seniority, and knowledge are what the other two elders are willing to bow down to."

"Therefore, Mr. Rongge cannot be offended, let alone his wife, Mrs. Lin."

"Ruyi, even if you are destined to be a prince's concubine in the future, which prince to be a concubine is not up to your parents or us. It's up to the emperor, the elder Rongge and others."

"That's why Mother guessed that Mrs. Lin sent invitations to you and other ladies."

"The poetry and prose meeting at the Green Bamboo Tower at Mingye may not be just a simple poetry and prose meeting."

"It is very likely that Mrs. Lin is selecting suitable concubines for the princes in advance. Ruyi, you have to prepare well. For the poetry meeting tomorrow night, you must be noticed and appreciated by Mrs. Lin."

"You won her favor, which will be of great benefit to your marriage!"

The woman's words really gave Han Ruyi hope.

why?

She didn't go for the princes, she was thinking that since Lin's ability is so great, she can influence the prince's marriage.

Then, should he also be able to take the lead in the marriages of those young civil servants and generals in the court?

If I have won Lin's favor, I will beg her to ask Elder Rong Ge to propose to the emperor to marry me to Mu Zichuan, that would be beautiful!
"Mother, don't worry, Ruyi will definitely perform well at the poetry meeting in Cuizhulou tomorrow night," Han Ruyi said.

The woman was relieved to hear this assurance.

"The ones who will go tomorrow night must be ladies from noble families who can stand on the stage in the whole capital. Ruyi, you must perform well so that Lin can notice you and appreciate you!" she said.

Han Ruyi nodded again.

The woman was relieved, "Then you are ready to prepare, and I will leave first."

Han Ruyi bowed and sent the woman away respectfully on the bed.

Before the woman left, she took another look at the maidservant who was standing next to her, and said: "You will follow tomorrow night, so that you can serve the lady well. Even though you are a maidservant, you must know the rules. Don't lose our grand master's house." face!"
