Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 147 The Foot Under the Table

There is good news?

The Xue family can send their own good news, could it be that the site selection of cement kilns in other provinces has been settled.

Brother Rong was overjoyed, and his expression became more enthusiastic.

He hurriedly greeted the Xue family brothers and sisters to the study for a secret talk.It was also passed on to a few directors' maids who first took care of the lamps in the study, and then brought some tea and cakes.

Jia Rong looked at the stack of blueprints in Xue Pan's hand, and purposely found a long case, and eagerly invited, "Uncle and Auntie, take your seat soon. Can you tell me what kind of good news it is?"

Xue Pan sat down with Brother Rong.

Baochai didn't like Brother Rong's expression of eagerness for quick success, so he glanced indifferently.Youyou took a seat opposite, and said: "The supervisor of Ping'an Prefecture has sent a letter, and there is new news from the place I read last time."

Brother Rong was also curious, "Didn't the letter come earlier? Why is it so fast now? It stands to reason that the letter I replied last time dared to arrive in Ping'an Prefecture."

Xue Pan said: "Brother Rong, you can see it. Before we sent the letter, the director of Ping'an Prefecture investigated the place in detail. He also contacted the owner of the land. The land is 3000 acres and the price is only [-] yuan two."

"This thing is really strange. In the land of Gyeonggi, the rich are 30 to [-] taels per mu, and the poor are from [-] to [-] mu. How can the land price in Pingan Prefecture be so cheap? It is only [-] to [-] mu after conversion?"

Xue Baochai said: "That place is next to the river and the mountains. Although there are a few acres of fertile land in it, most of the others are barren. It has been damaged by floods all year round, and there is a hill in it. In the past, the owner of the estate could only open a garden there. There is not much benefit from growing vegetables. In addition, Pingan Prefecture is full of strong people, so it is normal for the land to be cheap."

From Xue Baochai's words, he had already outlined the place, and pointed out the reason for the cheapness.

Brother Rong knew it, and sneered.

Strong beam?

What he is most afraid of now is the strong beam, and the cement sky is a big thing about Prince Zhongshun's opening of fields in the water.Which Qiang Liang just came to do something?The Thirteenth Master can't take the soldiers from the Eighth Battalion of Gyeonggi to Ping'an Prefecture to clean up the bandits?

It may be said that Jia Rong can still get a little credit.

He patted the table and said: "It doesn't matter if he is strong or not, as long as the owner is willing to sell the land, we will take this land first. Let's take a look at the surrounding water conservancy, coal mines, and iron mines. People go to Ping'an Prefecture."

Xue Pan laughed and said, "Brother Rong, don't worry. In mid-March, I have to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and I will pass by Ping'an Prefecture. After a few days, Brother Rong will call a group of people to go with our Xue family caravan. On the one hand, there is mutual support on the way, and on the other hand, our Xue family can also help when buying land."

Brother Rong was about to respond when someone kicked his foot under the desk.

Ok?
what happened?

Brother Rong glanced at Aunt Bao, and his puzzled eyes revealed: Why are you kicking me?

Xue Baochai knew that he had kicked the wrong person, so she had a natural expression on her face, but she didn't show anything.She just wanted to remind her elder brother not to talk nonsense.

The money said: "There is no need to say a word about the relatives' affairs. If the people sent by the Ningguo Mansion look at the land boundary and think it is feasible, our Xue family will help buy it first. The Ningguo Mansion also needs to transport this large amount of money to Ping'an Prefecture chaotic area."

Xue Baochai really knows how to sell favors.Brother Rong smiled secretly, but it is indeed a good way to get the Xue family's shop in Ping'an Prefecture to buy it.

However, when building kilns in the future, they still have to bring a lot of silver from Shenjing.Since it is necessary to revitalize a large kiln factory, it cannot be made with two or three thousand taels of silver.

Xue Pan said: "What my sister said is very true. We don't distinguish between you and me. There is no need to see each other about these things. When I go to Jiangnan, my sister and mother want to drag Brother Rong to take care of him in Shenjing. on."

Xue Baochai was very angry when he heard what his elder brother said.How could you say such things to Jia Rong, wouldn't it cause him some misunderstandings.

Slap it.

Brother Rong felt another kick under the table.

Xue Baochai, is this girl endless?
Brother Rong ignored her and said with a smile to Xue Pan: "Uncle is joking, why should concubine and aunt drag nephew? With the second wife of the West Mansion at home, aunt and concubine have nothing to worry about when they are in the mansion."

Xue Pan sighed, "Everyone always says I'm a muddleheaded person, but actually we are most worried about this girl. I have caused a lot of troubles in recent years, and I don't know if it will hurt my sister's candidate. My aunt has been worrying recently. There are a lot of things going on, and even my mother has been a little estranged these two days. If my mother hadn't had a relationship with the Wang family's aunt, I really want to persuade her to move to live with the Wang family."

What happened to Mrs. Wang recently?Jia Rong was puzzled, but suddenly got kicked again.

This girl is really...

Brother Rong gritted his teeth.

Xue Pan saw his sister glared at him, and only then did he realize that he had slipped his tongue.He said with a dry smile, "Did you hear about Brother Bao being beaten a few days ago?"

Of course Jia Rong knew about this, and because of Baoyu being beaten, she was called to Xifu by the old lady.

Brother Rong nodded and asked: "I know, but the anger of the second wife has not subsided?"

Xue Pan said: "It's so easy to get rid of it, and I'm afraid of being laughed at by others, and I'm annoyed that my uncle has hit hard. It's been a few days without a smile on my face, and I don't even welcome my mother when she goes. Okay. In the past two days, brother Bao's injury has healed, and now he is clamoring to make brother Bao quit the free school and go back to the mansion to study."

Xue Baochai was in a hurry, and blamed his elder brother for talking to Jia Rong all the time, and then kicked him to warn him.

It is conceivable that she still kicked the wrong person.

In fact, I can't blame her, the first time I knew that Jia Rong was kicked.In the next two times, Jia Rong had no different expressions, thinking that it was the eldest brother who kicked.As a result, she found that her foot was clamped.

Baochai's face was suddenly ashamed.There were only three people in the study, and who else could do such a thing, except the daring Jia Rong.

A pair of smart eyes glared at Brother Rong, only to get a chuckle from Jia Rong.

Brother Rong continued to ask Uncle Pan, "Second Uncle Bao is going to quit school?"

This is a great thing for Jia Rong. Without the scourge of Baoyu in the righteous school, other students can be more peaceful.

Xue Pan said: "I stayed with my brother in the room for two days, but I naturally refused to hear what he wanted. The long follower, Li Gui, was transferred to another mansion by his aunt, and Nanny Li was also punished. The other partners are all in the free school. My brother also has few contacts. How can he stand the loneliness, he still wants to go to the free school."

Jia Rong looked at Xue Pan suspiciously.Now that Baoyu has changed his temperament, he can make a pair with Xue Pan.Could it be that the two of them have secretly agreed on the song?
Xue Baochai was annoyed when he saw Jia Rong's weird eyes looking at his elder brother, and his little feet were pinched by him again.He lifted another foot and kicked it.

Brother Rong's eyes froze, this girl is really endless.

When Xue Baochai saw his appearance, she panicked and recalled that night inexplicably.At this point, he dared not move any more, and persuaded the eldest brother: "Brother, don't speak ill of their family behind their backs. You will leave Beijing in half a month, and it will be difficult to involve brother in the future. You don't need to care about their family's appearance." , these days, it’s better not to always go to Brother Bao’s yard.”

Xue Pan also remembered that what he said was really easy to be misunderstood, so he smiled and said: "I and him are cousins, so there is no other thing. I just see him uncomfortable, and occasionally persuade him. I used to feel that brothers are the same. I'm a person all the way, but I didn't expect him to change suddenly. Alas...it's a pity."

Haosheng explained before he came, why the lock was unlocked when he arrived in Ningguo Mansion.He actually said everything to Jia Rong, can these things be said casually?

Before she could do anything else, her body froze suddenly.He felt that a hand had climbed up his trousers, and that hand actually reached into it to find the sock and rolled it back, Baochai's nerves almost trembled.

The sock feet were turned over by Jia Rong, and with such a light touch, Xue Baochai's mind was instantly emptied.

This asshole.

Xue Baochai gritted her teeth and warned Jia Rong not to mess around with her eyes.

Brother Rong smiled, and said to Xue Pan, "Uncle, what is there to embarrass. After all, the concubine and the second wife are sisters, and the relationship is also close. What kind of conflict can they have? If so If you are not used to living in the West Mansion, you can also live in the East Mansion. We also have a lot of spare yards here, so let's treat it as my aunt and wife coming to the East Mansion to accompany Ling'er."

Xue Baochai saw that Xue Pan really thought about it, and she was even more disappointed with her elder brother, saying: "How can that be possible, there is no reason for a godmother to live in a goddaughter's house, and besides, that goddaughter is not even half the master in the mansion. It's not that our Xue family has no place to go in Shenjing, but we just want to have relatives in Xifu and take care of each other on weekdays."

Baochai groaned inwardly, how could this matter be in accordance with the rules, let my aunt know what to think about the Xue family.This bastard Jia Rong must be paying attention to himself.Wouldn't it be cheaper for him to even want to move in by himself?

She really planned to find an excuse to leave, but suddenly felt her shoes loosen.A chill came!He hurriedly tried to pull his foot out of it, but felt Brother Rong's hand found the sole of his foot and slipped lightly.

"Um..."

The itchy and numb feeling spread from the soles of her feet to her brain, and Xue Baochai almost fell off the stool.

"What's the matter, sister?" Xue Pan asked intimately.

Xue Baochai was about to answer, but was slipped lightly again.With a jerk, he suppressed a smile again.Replied: "Nothing!"

Seeing Xue Pan continue to look at the drawings on the table, Baochai gave Jia Rong a vicious look.

Xue Pan said: "It takes about ten days to get from Shenjing to Ping'an Prefecture, and half a month later, but it's not too far away. The place I chose is closer to Shenjing, and the speed is only ten days. Brother Rong sits in town Shenjing may also be able to manage the situation there."

Jia Rong snickered and nodded her head, and praised: "Excellent."

But the hand didn't stop, and the bad taste came up, and it was scratched twice as punishment.

I saw Baochai on the opposite side couldn't help laughing.That look of suppressing a smile with resentment in his eyes is really interesting.

Let's see if you dare to kick.

Brother Rong didn't know that Baochai's resentment concealed shame, how could a man touch a woman's feet casually.If it were someone else, Xue Baochai would want to tear him apart.

It's just that the bastard Jia Rong bumped into Baochai all over the place, although he was ashamed in his heart, he didn't think too much about it.He was just thinking about how to get away, and he was afraid that he would be seen by his elder brother like this.
