Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 121 New Year's Greetings from Shenjing Wang's Family
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Rong Geer specially changed into energetic clothes and coats, and Qin Keqing was also dressed in pink and black, so pretty.

When the couple arrived at the West Mansion, they heard that Mrs. Wang was unwell for some reason, and she would not go to Wang's house this year.Seeing that Li Wan's mother-in-law was not going, neither did she and Jia Lan.

So this year, only Aunt Xue led Xue Pan and Xue Baochai, Sister Feng and Baoyu, Tanchun and Jia Rong were the only ones who went to Wang's house to pay New Year's greetings.

The leader is Xue Pan riding a white horse, followed by Baoyu and Jia Rong.All the other female relatives took a soft sedan chair, creaking and creaking, and were carried by the servants from the outer palace.

"During the first month, why is Brother Rong so preoccupied?" Xue Pan, who was originally in the lead, pulled his horse and stood side by side with Brother Rong, and said with relief: "Uncle is not at home this year, and the brothers and sisters of the Wang family are easy to get along with. It's making things difficult for you."

Brother Rong didn't think of this, he thought of Sister Feng.He glanced at Xue Pan lightly, and said, "How can it be embarrassing to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year?"

It was only then that Xue Pan remembered that Brother Rong was from Dongfu, and he had no close relationship with the Wang family, and he didn't know the temperament of the Wang family's uncle.Hehe smiled and nodded.In fact, he was a little nervous. Although his uncle was not at home, his aunt had the same temperament as his uncle, and she was strict with her.

This is also the reason why Xue Pan has been in Shenjing for so long and is unwilling to go to Wang's house.

There is nothing I can do about it today, I can't come to Beijing, and I don't even go to my uncle's house for the Chinese New Year.That's too much to justify!

Brother Rong seemed to see through Xue Pan's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Could it be that uncle is still afraid of going to Wang's house?"

Xue Pan smiled awkwardly, and said: "It's not that I'm afraid, Brother Rong doesn't know that my aunt and uncle love to preach, but I'm not a good person in their eyes. Every time I go, there will be a meal Don't be afraid, Brother Rong, now several relatives are spreading the good news about you, and even heard the news that you made meritorious service to the court a few days ago."

No matter what kind of meritorious service he did, the main purpose of hitting him by mistake was not to catch him.He just wanted to prevent his wife from being hurt at all, but ended up catching a thief in the world!
Later, I went to help them interrogate out of selfishness.It's a pity that there is no reward, and everyone is very stingy.

Brother Rong shook his head slightly and said, "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning."

Jia Rong was also depressed, no matter what the reason was, it was meritorious.It doesn't matter if the reward is small, but it can't be done without.

Xue Pan laughed enviously, and suddenly didn't want to be side by side with Brother Rong, so he went to the front to look for Baoyu.

Brother Rong looked at Baoyu still depressed today, as if he had been abandoned by his lover.He stopped his horse and waited for the sedan chair behind to come, then he looked for Baoyu's maid and asked, "What's the matter with Uncle Bao today?"

Xiren looked at the second master in front of him from a distance, and his heart ached, and he said worryingly: "I don't know why, but he didn't reply when I asked him. That day when he came back from the ceremony at Qingxu Temple, a full month passed, and he was still the same. Like this."

This is pitiful, presumably he was so frightened that night that he still hasn't come back to his senses.

Brother Rong shook his head helplessly, and asked again: "Hasn't he been out of the yard these days?"

Xiren gave Uncle Xiaorong who was on the horse a strange look, "I went to the grand ceremony, I went to the old lady's place to say hello on the first day of the junior high school, but I went to the East Mansion on the second day of the junior high school."

"Why is Second Uncle going to Dong Mansion?" Uncle Xiao Rong frowned, could it be that he hadn't scared him that day, and now he still doesn't give up?
"Second Master heard that Uncle Zhong of the Qin family was in Dongfu, so he went to see him, but he was even more depressed when he came back. He stayed in the yard for a whole day yesterday. If his wife hadn't asked him to go to Wang's house today, he might still be in bed right now. sleep."

Brother Rong was amused, it seems that this little fat man really lost his love.My wife and younger brother have changed a lot recently, Second Uncle Bao is afraid that Qin Zhong has been turned away by Qin Zhong.

When Jia Rong was questioning Xiren, Ping'er, who was beside the sedan chair in front, turned his head from time to time and reported to the people in the sedan chair.When Ping'er heard the insider say: "Don't pay attention to him, talk to whoever you like to talk to."

After a while, Ping'er did not see the figure of Uncle Xiao Rong. After looking back several times, he saw the figure riding a horse next to the last sedan chair.

"Did Second Uncle Bao go to the mansion to look for Jing Qing in the second year of junior high school?"

Qin Keqing heard the familiar business outside the sedan chair, took a look, and said cheerfully: "Isn't the uncle walking in front? How did you end up here?"

Brother Rong said: "They are all serious relatives of the Wang family, so naturally they are at the forefront. We are just relatives of relatives, and we are separated by layers of relationship. Naturally, we will fall behind, how can we steal their glory."

"You didn't arrange it like this." Ke Qing chuckled in the sedan chair, and Ke Qing said: "There were many guests in the mansion that day, but I remember that Uncle Bao went to the mansion, but he didn't stay for long. , It seems that there was a disagreement with Jingqing. They are only a little older, so I didn't take it to heart."

It's fine if it's unpleasant, if there's a happy one, it's a trap for the uncle.

Wang's house is not far from Jia's house, they are both in the eastern part of the inner city of Shenjing, and it won't take long to go there by sedan chair.Not long after, Brother Rong saw the main entrance of the Wang family, passed the main entrance, and saw several soft sedan chairs parked all the way east.

Just as he was wondering, a group of people came out from the east side door of Wang's mansion, replacing the original bearers and carrying soft sedan chairs into the mansion one by one.

Jia Rong, Xue Pan and Baoyu got off their horses and were led by the stewards of the palace to the main hall.

After passing through two Yimen gates, a group of sedan chairs stopped again, and all the sedan chair bearers were replaced by strong women.Just now a group of people entered the main hall.

Brother Rong looked at the palace curiously, and it was really different from the wealth of ordinary people, the doors and windows of the main hall were all inlaid with glass.From the inside to the inside of the house, everything looks resplendent and resplendent.

The flowers and plants in the front yard are also more particular than ordinary people, and they have a special sense of beauty.

The special feature of this aesthetic feeling is that the decoration style inside is different from the traditional Chinese style, and many objects have obvious Western colors.

If it weren't for watching the servants and maids of the palace walking back and forth, Brother Rong even thought he had come to some ancient modern building, and suddenly felt a sense of time travel.

Xue Pan explained: "I heard from the elders that when the Wang family was in Jinling, they were in charge of the tributes from overseas countries. These items were all sent by people from the east and the west. Our Xue family also has many such things. But in the end What is more brilliant is the ancestral house of the Wang family in Jinling, but the items in the ancestral house have been sold off by the elder brothers of the Wang family over the years. Otherwise, when you return to Jinling someday, you can still take a look."

Brother Rong nodded, he seemed to remember who had heard it before.Back then, the Wang family not only managed the tributes from various countries, but also most of the cargo ships in Fujian, Guangdong, Qiong and other places belonged to the Wang family.

I don't know if the Wang family still has a boat, maybe it will be useful in the future.

After seeing the female relatives over there, they got off the sedan chair one by one, and were led in by the maids of the palace.Xue Pan and Jia Rong also hurriedly followed, but Baoyu was absent-minded, and sometimes lowered his head and sighed.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng is also extremely rich. She is wearing a sable Zhaojun suit, pearls around her head, and a crepe ermine skirt. She is sitting there upright.

Seeing her, Brother Rong finally understood who Wang Xifeng learned her clothes from.

Everyone invited Mrs. Ann one by one, and when it was the turn of Jia Rong and his wife, the lady laughed even more.Said: "It's really a pair of green people, pleasing to the eye. No wonder your aunt keeps telling me that you two can't go back today, and you must stay in the mansion for one night."

Qin Keqing also responded generously, and Mrs. Wang cheerfully gave gifts to the juniors and assigned seats.

He said to Aunt Xue: "Sister must be thinking about the girls in our family. I have invited your family many times, but I couldn't invite you. A few days ago, the younger ones in the family were still talking about when Sister Bao would come. They should be peeking from the back hall."

Aunt Xue also smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want to come. Our whole family will be here today. When I first came to Shenjing, I had a lot of things to do. I went to take care of the shops, and the old accounts in the shops have not been settled until the New Year. .Speaking of which, my younger sister is also thinking about the little girls in the family, so she specially picked out some small toys to please them."

Mrs. Wang also wanted to go to the back hall when she saw Baochai, so she stopped in time, and said with a smile, "You girl, your mother doesn't come here on weekdays, so why don't you come and walk around. Fortunately, the younger sisters miss you, today You don't come back either."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "If my aunt doesn't say anything today, I will stay too. No one can persuade me."

It's just that Brother Rong felt that when Baochai said this, he looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Delusion?
probably.

This girl is the most ruthless, how could she suddenly stare at her.It must be an illusion!

Mrs. Wang was very satisfied when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Your uncle has gone to other provinces, and I am bored in the mansion. It just so happens that there are more people here today. Three girls, you all stay here. I will be with you a few years ago. My wife said, you have to spend the night with my disgusting mother-in-law here."

"Whoever dares to say that aunt is disgusting, the niece is the first to disagree." Tanchun replied, and chatted with his wife for a while.Then I followed Xue Baochai to the back to find the sisters of the Wang family.

At this time, there were only three guests, Jia Rong, his wife and Wang Xifeng, left in the main hall. The other guests, Xue Pan and Baoyu, had gone to nowhere.

"You two good students, come here and let me have a look." Madam said to Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing, "Do you have a caring life in Jia's house?"

Mrs. Wang Ziteng is also interesting. What she said just now was obviously expressing her dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.At this moment, his attitude towards Wang Xifeng and his wife is completely different.

Sister Feng said carelessly: "Today, the couple recognized the door, and they will come here often in the future."

"Look at your blunt mouth, you've been spoiled by your uncle. Why didn't you bring your eldest sister here today so that I can see my granddaughter."

Wang Xifeng was not polite to her aunt at all, and said with a smile: "What's so interesting, it's just two eyes, two ears, and one nose, and it doesn't have three heads and six arms. If I raise a Nezha, I will definitely hug it Make my aunt curious."

"What nonsense are you talking about during the Chinese New Year?" Madam snorted softly, "Look at your haggard appearance recently, you have been tired at their house for the past two days. Your aunt has something to do, she doesn't care about things, she just wants to get tired You. When Ming'er goes to the mansion, I will definitely find her and talk to her."

"It's my aunt who loves me the most." Sister Feng smiled and said, "Don't push me to talk about it, but you have left out two new customers."

Brother Rong is really eating melons, but he has not reacted to being called out suddenly, but Keqing has already been joined by Mrs. Wang.Sure enough, my daughter-in-law is liked by the elders, and I don't know why!

Only yesterday was the concubine of King Zhongshun, and today there is Mrs. Wang Ziteng.

I only heard my wife say: "Don't be surprised, your second aunt grew up with me, and she is just like my own daughter. So I saw you today, and I was a little excited."

Qin Keqing hummed politely.In Madam's eyes, this performance felt a bit reserved.

She thought that what Sister Feng said was not bad, she still had to teach this little grandma well.

In order to prevent the Qin family from getting a chance to show off when they deal with the wives of various mansions in the future, it will also lose Jia Rong's prestige.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng knows best that women in the back house have a lot of meaning in their daily routines.

Brother Rong heard some information from these words.

No wonder it was Wang Xifeng who communicated with the Wang family every time. It turned out that it was not because Sister Feng was in charge of the inner house of the West Mansion, but because Sister Feng was already close to Prince Teng's family.

Now I also want to understand why Sister Feng must let herself stay in the Wang family. This place has many different meanings to her.

Jia Rong took a look at Mrs. Wang Ziteng. Is this considered meeting the parents?
But it feels a little weird to bring a daughter-in-law to meet another woman's parents.Not some, it's very weird!
Mrs. Wang's family is indeed capable of talking, even more powerful than Wang Xifeng's mouth.What she said was different from Wang Xifeng's nonsense, she was methodical, but she felt boring after listening too much.

No wonder Xue Pan and Baoyu ran away early.

Brother Rong finally made it to the night banquet, and by this time, his spirit was already a little sluggish.

Seeing him like this, Sister Feng gritted her teeth secretly, and pinched him hard as she passed by.

Brother Rong, who was drinking, groaned in pain, but Xue Baochai, who was seated next door, had a strange light in his eyes, and couldn't help but look at Sister Feng and Brother Rong.

Baochai looked at it several times, but did not see anything.When Wang Xifeng took a seat opposite her, Xue Baochai continued to have fun with her sisters as if nothing had happened.

Sister Feng pulled her aunt and said, "It's hard to go home today, and why doesn't aunt bring some good wine to entertain my niece?"

Jia Rong heard the voice outside, looked around, and almost dropped her jaw in shock.Sister Feng can act like a baby?It's kind of scary.

I heard Mrs. Wang Ziteng say again: "I knew I couldn't beat you, and I have prepared good rice wine for you."

Seeing Brother Rong always looking back, Xue Pan pulled him and said, "There's no need to worry about these things. They drink theirs, and we drink ours. It's rare that uncle isn't there when we come to Wang's house, so let's have a good drink."

The Wang family at the same table listened and grinned, but there was nothing he could do about such a fool.

Under the guidance of the immortal, Brother Rong made Tianwu Cement, and they also knew that the master of the family wrote the book for him.Seeing his handsome demeanor again, his attitude towards Brother Rong was quite different from that towards Xue Pan.

It's just that it hurt Brother Rong.

He kept thinking in his heart that there was still a big event tonight, how could he be poured down like this.In the end, he could only resort to that shocking move, pretending to be drunk...

Brother Rong has never convinced anyone about pretending to be drunk, it's something he has practiced for countless nights.If he was really drunk, he wouldn't have a share in the wonderful activities that followed.In his previous life, he only missed once!
Jia Rong was not drunk, but Baoyu was really drunk.When Brother Rong staggered out with the help of Que'er, Baoyu had already been carried away.

It's just that he hadn't walked a few steps, but he looked at Baochai with a strange look at himself.

What's the matter with this little girl today?
I haven't messed with her recently.

Seeing someone approaching, Jia Rong quickly continued to pretend to be drunk.When the people behind arrived, I saw that my daughter-in-law also drank a little too much today, and her face was slightly red at the moment.On the other hand, Mrs. Wang's family next to her was still dignified, and she said: "I have to borrow your guest today."

Brother Rong looked at Qin Keqing with a drunken face, wanting to ask her what she meant.

Qin Keqing nodded shyly.

Madam smiled and said: "The banquet is over, so why are you pretending to be drunk in front of us? Don't blame you, although your daughter-in-law has a clear heart, she has never dealt with the ladies of various houses. There must be a teacher for these things. Yes. You Ningguo Mansion doesn’t have any serious wives, and Rongguo Mansion doesn’t know how to be polite except for the old lady. From now on, your daughter-in-law will have to deal with ladies in the palace and wives of other mansions, and she will never be in front of them If you are timid, you can deal with things casually.”

When Jia Rong learned that she was seen through pretending to be drunk, she chuckled and simply stopped pretending.Seeing Madam speaking frankly, but with a slightly embarrassed face, she said: "Madam, please trouble me."

When Qin Keqing saw her, her face was angry and ashamed, she couldn't understand why her uncle was so shameless.

Madam didn't blame her, she smiled lightly and said to Ke Qing, "Don't worry too much, it's just pretending to be drunk, it's not impolite. Your second aunt often does this kind of thing, today she was the one who asked for a drink, and in the end it turned out to be drunk again. She pretended to be drunk and ran away. She is such a shrewd person, she will never really get drunk, this is her mind."

Jia Rong's words spread to Jia Rong's ears, but she felt something was wrong.Didn't Sister Feng get drunk on her birthday?Later, he met him halfway and sent her back to the room.

Brother Rong looked at his wife with some doubts.

I only heard my wife say: "Believe it or not, this girl has been nicknamed Brother Feng since she was a child, because even ordinary brothers can't drink her. All right, you don't have to continue pretending, and have a banquet tonight." So far. Tonight your daughter-in-law will accompany me to sleep in the main courtyard, so there is no need to worry about her safety."

Brother Rong took Rui Jewelry and said: "You are so good to stay with grandma and wait on the side."

After the group left, Jia Rong remembered what Mrs. Wang Ziteng said just now, and couldn't turn her head around for a while.

The amount of information just now is a bit large!

Could it be that on Sister Feng's birthday last year, she was... pretending to be drunk?

that oneself...

Such an insidious woman, I was actually deceived by her.Why did I coax her to come here with sweet words, she was the one who seduced me first.That's why those movements are so precise, so just right.

Brother Rong felt that he had failed too much these days.Gritting her teeth, she wanted to seek revenge on Wang Xifeng.

"Que'er, go back to your room and tidy it up, my uncle is going out to do some errands."

Que'er watched her uncle walk with pride, and murmured in a low voice: "It's not that I don't know, you are going to find Second Mistress Lian, why did you send me away."

Brother Rong just walked outside Wang Xifeng's courtyard, and saw a person standing outside the house next to him.

"Aunt Bao, why are you here?"

"Why did Brother Rong come here?"

"I just drank too much and wanted to walk to wake up. I came here before I knew it. Good night, Aunt Bao." Brother Rong waved and continued to walk forward.

These courtyards were specially prepared for them by the Wang family, so they didn't meet any servant girls along the way.After passing the corner, Brother Rong walked around the small courtyard like a nocturnal wolf.

Finally seeing that Xue Baochai was not there, he smiled and went into the yard.

Seeing him, Ping'er was overjoyed, as if signaling to the people in the room, and said, "Master is back!"

Uncle Rong saw the color of the lights in the room change, from the original faint orange light to a light red candlelight, which looked quite festive.

He pushed open the door and saw that the outer room was empty, and walked into the inner room impatiently, only to see a beautiful woman in a bright red robe.The red makeup is lightly applied on the face, and the bright eyes are full of water and smile.

"Feng'er!"
