Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 172 Brother Rong and My Sister...

Lin Daiyu takes Sister Feng and Baochai to Jia Rong's room.Seeing that the place is quite clean and there is no one inside or outside, Wang Xifeng is somewhat satisfied.

"It's a good place for him." Sister Feng sneered, although this mansion is far less grand than Ningguo Mansion, the courtyard inside is quite stylish.The spring water flows down from the front of the house, and there are strange stones, rockery, flowers, plants and green trees on the left and right, which can be regarded as another kind of beautiful scenery.

"This was originally the master's resting place. Recently, the master's health has improved, so he vacated it for Brother Rong to live in." Zijuan chuckled and explained: "The mansion is still planning to arrange for Master Xiaorong to stay with me." He sent two maidservants to serve, but he also sent them away. In such a situation, living alone is quite comfortable.”

Xue Baochai laughed inwardly, fortunately Brother Rong sent away the maid who had been arranged, otherwise there would be a big show to watch today.Laughing, said: "My sister treats Brother Rong very well."

Lin Daiyu replied: "When I was in Shenjing in the past, Brother Rong and his wife treated me very well. Now that he is a guest, I can't lose him. With his mouth, when I return to Shenjing, I can't blame the Lin family for their poor hospitality. "

A few people entered the front hall, which was extremely spacious and empty. There were mostly bamboo and silk utensils in the room, which was a little different from the northern style.Chunxian first went to the room to deliver the report. After a while, Brother Rong came to the front hall.

I saw Sister Feng's face was quite cold, but Baochai's face was still smiling as usual.

Brother Rong turned his eyeballs around to the left, showing surprise, and said with a smile: "Aunts and aunts, why did you come to Yangzhou? You are planning to wait until the day you recover from your injuries, and go to Jinling to pay a visit to the two houses."

Wang Xifeng had seen Brother Rong's kung fu of telling nonsense a long time ago, and she also smiled, a faint sneer.Said: "It seems that our Jia family's nephew still knows some etiquette. Even though he ordered us to go out to work, he didn't forget us."

Why did this girl get angry for no reason.

Scratch your head!

Rong Geer greeted: "Please sit down, please sit down, let's sit and chat. Please trouble Miss Xueyan to send someone to bring some tea."

"No need, since Brother Rong is fine, we won't disturb your rest." Wang Xifeng turned around mercilessly, pretended to leave, and said, "Brother Rong should continue to lie down, you are sick, it's not just a day or two." Good day."

Xue Baochai also said: "Sister Feng is absolutely right. Although she looks fine on the outside, she doesn't know what's going on inside. Brother Rong rests for a few more days, so as not to fall into the root cause of the disease."

Well, there is something wrong with these two girls today.

Can't be bothered.

He saw that Lin Daiyu was also in the room, and he couldn't say anything, so he said awkwardly: "Listen to my aunts and aunts, I will definitely not go anywhere these days, so I'll take it with me in the room."

Wang Xifeng groaned softly, and took Daiyu to the garden.

Jia Rong, who was in the room, sighed. Sister Feng's sudden arrival must have heard the news that she fell into the water, and her face must be to blame him for not sending the news to Jinling.

Trouble this time!
Jia Lian still lives in Lin's house.Sure enough, some time passed.Jia Lian, who had just come down from the boat, heard the news from Lin's mansion, and his knees and feet almost went limp on the ground.

How did this evil star come here?

He traveled among the Yangzhou painting boats these days, and he was absolutely happy and happy.As a result, Jia Lian knew that Wang Xifeng had returned to Jinling, but he didn't think about going to Jinling.

The pleasure of painting a boat is more enjoyable than that of Shenjing Wanhualou, so why is he willing to go to Wang Xifeng's place to find bad luck.So when he heard that Sister Feng had arrived at Lin's mansion, he almost frightened him softly.

"The good times are over!"

Jia Lian sighed.It's even more sad that I was suppressed by a shrew for several years, and now I only know the joy of men when I come to Yangzhou.The more I thought about it, the more sad it became, and I cheered myself up again.

There is no one in Yangzhou city to support her, can she continue to be majestic?
When the prostitute behind heard this, it seemed that she was afraid that such a rich and beautiful guest might be lost, and her face was unhappy.Gong Huo said: "What is the second master afraid of? Even if we are prostitutes, we understand the principle of marrying and obeying the husband. Is it possible that the daughter-in-law of the second master's family can turn against the sky?"

Jia Lian's face became hot, and he snorted: "In the past, all the family members in Shenjing were bought by her. When I arrived in Yangzhou, I was afraid that she would fail. I will treat her well when I go back today, and I will come to visit you in Yangzhou tomorrow. .”

The prostitute smiled, and said: "Second Master will go back and treat her well, and let her know who is the god of the family. The slave family will be waiting for Second Master to come over on the boat tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Second Master Lian chuckled, and his mood seemed to be back in the painting boat again, and that feeling was enough for him to linger on.

Lian's second master led several long followers and rushed towards Lin's mansion in the rain.Although he had just uttered a big talk, his heart was very uncertain, and the closer he got to Lin's mansion, the more flustered he felt.I have cheered up many times from the bottom of my heart. Today, Wang Xifeng wants to not give himself face in front of his relatives, and he must show the majesty of the head of the family.

When Jia Lian left, someone on the river bank immediately went to the prostitute in the painting boat and asked them a lot.He didn't hear the news he wanted, and someone said: "I knew this guy was cowardly, so I should have tied him up and threatened Lin Ruhai to hand over the book."

The prostitute complained: "We have done what we should do, and we have said what we should say. I don't know if Jia Lian is playing stupid, or he really didn't hear Lin Ruhai mention it. He doesn't know anything about the Salt Transportation Department. "

Someone scolded, "If I had known this, I should have found a chance to kill Lin Ruhai last year, which would have saved me a lot of trouble. Now this inspector has been hiding in the mansion, and he didn't even have a chance to discuss it."

"How to discuss? Last year, Lin Ruhai fell ill suddenly, and always felt that something was wrong. Those officials and businessmen still didn't believe it. Later, when people from Shenjing came, we had no room for negotiation. We could only think about it. How to destroy the ledger calculated by Lin Ruhai."

Another person said: "Which one can calculate what happened last year? The people above are also belatedly aware. If it wasn't for the guard who led people to control the Salt Transport Department, I'm afraid everyone would still be kept in the dark. Damn it, it's a disaster now." Those of us who do things don’t get much money, so we have to deal with this shit for them.”

"Let's stop complaining. Which of the general business leaders above owes the palace a few hundred thousand taels of silver? They are naturally at ease, and at most they put all their family property out. Those of us who work, after the incident, no one can keep their heads The man sighed, and said: "Go and pass the news to the general manager. I can't get the account book, and the people from the Lin family won't come out. Let's see how to calculate it."

"I asked you to tie up that little girl yesterday, but you didn't want to move. Are you worried now?" The prostitute in the boat laughed, "We sent you the news early in the morning. That girl is the only daughter of the Lin family. With her in hand, aren't you afraid of Lin Ruhai's submission?"

With a slap, someone slapped the prostitute, "Why do you need to talk too much about the uncle?"

One person echoed: "What the bitch said is not bad. If I made a move yesterday, there might be some hope."

"Fucking hope. Do you know who was with the daughter of the Lin family yesterday? He's going to have an accident, and we can't even think about surviving. Do you really think that no one was guarding them yesterday? Someone is protecting him."

"What is the identity of that person?"

"It's just Shenjing, a descendant of the fallen Duke's mansion."

"That……"

The leader glared at them, and snorted: "Don't ask if you shouldn't, as long as you know, even our chief has to be careful to keep him safe. Don't criticize this person in the future, otherwise don't talk about your head , even our whole family will suffer along with it.”

"Could it be Saint..."

When the speaker saw the eyes of the boss, he shut up quickly.String together the information of the Lin family's relatives in Shenjing, the children of the Duke's Mansion, etc., and you will understand immediately.

Don't dare to say one more word, just recite silently in my heart, apologizing for my evil thoughts just now: "No life, loving mother, boundless kindness."

Of course, Jia Lian didn't know anything about what happened in Huafang.

When he returned to the Lin Mansion, a banquet had already been held there for Wang Xifeng, Xue Pan, Xue Baochai and his party.

"Second Brother Lian is back." Xue Pan laughed, winked and whispered in front of him, "If Second Brother doesn't come, it's time for Sister Feng to teach you a lesson."

Jia Lian snorted and asked, "Why are you here too? The shopping in Jiangnan Province has been completed?"

Xue Pan said: "My sister said she would come to Yangzhou, but I couldn't compete with her, and I was afraid that something might happen to me on the way. So I escorted her all the way here, just in time to see Lian's second brother."

Jia Lian asked curiously, "Why did my sister suddenly want to come to Yangzhou? You even brought her here?"

Xue Pan said: "Isn't it because I heard that Brother Rong was in trouble and thought something big happened. The second brother also knows that our family and Ningguo Mansion are still engaged in cement business. My sister is afraid that Brother Rong will make a mistake and the two businesses will be out of business. problem, so I am determined to come.”

Really?

Jia Lian frowned, his words were not convincing at all.I glanced left and right, but didn't see Brother Rong and the others.I was also worried about Xue Baochai in my heart, and said: "My sister has reached her age, and she is still unmarried. It is better to keep her away from Brother Rong. If something spreads between the two of you, how will my sister marry in the future. Rong Rong Brother is a married man after all, don't let them meet more often."

Although Xue Pan is a muddy person, he can hear the meaning of Jia Lian's words.He loves his sister the most, so he immediately pulled his face up.Said: "You have such a kind heart, so you should think about how to talk to your wife today. My sister is a fairy, how could she make such a thing. If you say such things in the future, I will definitely turn against you. "

When Jia Lian thought of Wang Xifeng, he felt helpless again.It will deflate again after the first few blows.Seeing Xue Pan's stern face, he held his hand and said, "It's my brother's bad mouth, so don't blame you. Girls naturally don't have any bad intentions, but when a man and a woman get close, they will inevitably be gossiped. And Brother Rong My son is not a relative in the same mansion, after several generations, we have been together for a long time..."

"Brother Rong is not that kind of person." Xue Pan mumbled, not even the joy of seeing Jia Lian at the moment.Not wanting to say anything more to Jia Lian, he secretly broke away from Jia Lian's hand and said, "I'm looking for Brother Rong."

Jia Lian pouted.Why didn't Xue Pan believe it?Alas, I am also doing it for his own good.After pondering in his heart for a while, he also knew that Wang Xifeng took her own dowry to participate in the cement matter, could it be that she also came for the cement kiln matter?

It's just that I feel that the reason why the second daughter went to Yangzhou is somewhat untenable.And he didn't want to think about the bad side. What he said to Xue Pan just now was actually said to himself.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong got too close, and when he was still in the mansion, Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong cared a little too much for each other.

It's not that he didn't doubt it at the beginning, but after the rumors about Jia Rong and Wang Xifeng in the two houses disappeared, his doubts were slightly dispelled.But...they have been away from Shenjing for several months, will there be any troubles during their time?

Jia Lian didn't know what to do.

The relationship between him and Sister Feng has weakened a lot after two years of marriage.When they were in the mansion, they often disliked each other, and they were often suppressed by her, and they felt very uncomfortable.

Apart from Brother Zhu who died young, who in the Jia family didn't have many concubines?Which family's daughter-in-law doesn't follow the man's heart, and if the man speaks, who dares to refute and object?However, his own family rode on the head instead.

Sometimes being annoyed by her, Jia Lian even had unspeakable bad thoughts in his heart.

But... after all, she is the official wife of Ming Media.

Just thinking of having Ping'er by Wang Xifeng's side, they probably didn't dare to cross the thunder pond to comfort themselves.

Not long after, Lin Ruhai came out, and Xue Pan brought Jia Rong over.The banquet officially started, and the female family members of the Lin family, Lin Daiyu, Wang Xifeng, Xue Baochai and others were in another room.

Seeing Uncle Lian, Jia Rong couldn't help but glance over there, and her mood was quite complicated.

It is absolutely impossible for Brother Rong to cut off contact with Wang Xifeng in the future.Brother Rong couldn't accept Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian being together again.

Just as Jia Rong was about to take the cup, Lin Ruhai said, "Brother Rong is ill, you and I have fun drinking tea, let the two of them drink for themselves."

Brother Rong gave up and said with a smile: "Master Lao is concerned, Rong'er will be disrespectful today."

There are many times when you are disrespectful.Jia Lian thought sullenly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wang Xifeng's purpose of coming here was most likely just to care about Jia Rong's injury.

operate?

That's just an excuse.

Xue Pan also had something on his mind, and the words of Lian's second brother still left traces in his heart after all.Although the girl does not stay in the boudoir all the time than other women, she occasionally walks outside.But there are not many men of the opposite sex who often come into contact with, especially Rong Geer, who is not much different in age and has both talent and appearance.

He looked at Brother Rong, then at Second Brother Lian, bowed his head and drank his wine.

Different from the stuffy atmosphere here, the next room is very lively and fun.

Lin Daiyu has been alone for several months, and she is happy to see her companion today.Xue Baochai saw Jia Rong without hindrance, he was in a good mood and had no other thoughts.Wang Xifeng is even more calm in dealing with things, even if she knew that Jia Lian and Jia Rong were sitting at the same table in the next room, she didn't worry at all.

Jia Rong left the table early, but Wang Xifeng and the others drank until the night.

"Brother Rong?"

Jia Rong turned her head and saw Xue Pan calling her back. She smiled and said, "Uncle, haven't you finished your drink yet? I'm not feeling well today, so I won't be able to accompany you. I'll make up for this drink when I feel better."

Xue Pan shook his head slightly, hesitated for a long time but didn't say what he wanted to ask.After a long time, he said, "Let's talk in your room."

Brother Rong led him over, poured tea again, and asked Xue Pan to sober up.He asked with a smile, "Uncle, when is he going to explain, why is he so serious?"

"Brother Rong and my sister..." Xue Pan said halfway, but couldn't continue, and stopped there.

Brother Rong was taken aback, thinking that Baochai had told Xue Pan what happened between the two of them.I was very nervous, for fear that Xue Pan would have a sudden attack.Asked embarrassingly, "What's your order, uncle?"

"Oh...it's nothing." Xue Pan couldn't say it after all.How could he doubt his own sister, she was so smart, a hundred times smarter than him. "After a while, I should also lead the caravan back to Beijing, and leave the Jinling matter to Brother Rong and my sister."

When Jia Rong heard this, she was slightly relieved.Baochai is so shrewd, so naturally she wouldn't reveal the relationship between the two to anyone at this time.Besides, the relationship between the two of them has not yet been clearly settled, and her private life has requirements.

"Uncle, don't worry, the cooperative operation will not let the Xue family lose money. The Thirteenth Lord has decided to open flood discharge and diversion canals in the Huaiyang area. Build more sluices."
