Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 188 The Plan in My Heart

Baochai thought that she had a good intention, that she was trying to relieve Brother Rong's worries, and that she was making a contribution.But I don't know if Jia Rong really didn't dare to speak up tonight, who can resist Wang Xifeng's mouth.

Although they slept together, Brother Rong was extremely peaceful that night.

The two talked intimately.

"When Jinling finds the kiln site, who will Brother Rong plan to take care of?" After chatting for a few words, Baochai still asked what he cared most about.She didn't care about these things before.Now that the two of them are sleeping together, since it is Brother Rong's property, they feel responsible for it from the bottom of their hearts.

Jia Rong looked at the little face next to her. Although Xiao Nizi tried her best to conceal her face, she could see some sincerity.

He joked, "How about asking Aunt Bao to manage the cement kiln in Jinling?"

Xue Baochai thought for a moment, and said: "I am willing, but I am afraid that Feng girl will not."

"Why doesn't she want to?" Brother Rong chuckled secretly. If Wang Xifeng listened to this idea, she would definitely wish that Xue Baochai would stay in Jinling and never return to Shenjing.If Sister Feng is afraid that Baochai will make false accounts at the kiln, it is not that there is no one in the Jinling royal family, and when the time comes, a few cronies who supervise will be placed there.

Jia Rong asked, "Could it be that you really want to stay in Jinling forever?"

Baochai squeezed into Brother Rong's arms, although she was a little hot, she was unwilling to leave this reassuring embrace.

"Staying in Jinling all the time is naturally impossible. Apart from my aunt's family, the Xue family has no other close relatives in Jinling. My mother and eldest brother won't rest assured that I am here alone, not to mention that the cement kiln is full of men. There is no reason to stay here forever. .”

Brother Rong said: "Isn't Sister Feng's family also in Jinling? I heard from her that there is another brother in the royal family of Jinling, so there are no other close relatives. After all, you and Sister Feng are decent cousins. Isn't her brother yours?" cousin?"

Xue Baochai said angrily: "Young girl Feng recognized this brother who is full of five poisons, and she helped him a lot in the past, but she is not motivated. If he really treats other families as relatives, how can Lian's second brother come to Lianwang's house in the south of the Yangtze River?" Don’t you want to go there too? My first brother-in-law, besides Feng girl, who looked at him, when did the second elder brother Lian look at him.”

It turns out that there are still these inside stories.Only then did Jia Rong understand why Jia Lian didn't go to Wang's house after staying in Yangzhou for several months.At first, I thought it was because of Wang Xifeng's relationship, but from the meaning of Baochai's words, it seems that Wang Xifeng's brother is not good at life.

Baochai said: "What a stately Wang family was in Jinling in the past. Since the second uncle went to the Beijing camp to be on duty, the Jinling Wang family has been worse every year. The family property has not been defeated by this good cousin, even in previous years. Of the silver that Feng girl sent from Shenjing, there are not a few of them left now."

"Is there such a thing?"

Xue Baochai leaned on Brother Rong's chest, and said: "How can there be no more. If we say that our Xue family is now a strong outsider and a capable man, we don't even have a man who makes decisions. Feng girl's family is in a state of collapse, and there are many dirty things in it. Otherwise, the second uncle I will not take Feng girl to Shenjing, and she will stay away from the muddy quagmire of this room in Jinling early."

Brother Rong snorted, and joked: "Your Xue family ancestors were also brilliant, why are you laughing at yourself for being strong outside but doing well in the middle?"

Baochai said leisurely: "My father passed away early, and my uncle also died of illness last year. Now there are only orphans and widows left in the Xue family. Because of this, I wanted to take advantage of my ancestors to ask for a certain female official, but I didn't expect to be the first to be dismissed." Although the elder brother is old, he doesn’t know how to run the business. My uncle’s brother is slightly younger than me, and he is currently guarding filial piety in Jinling. But my uncle’s family’s business is bigger than ours, and the brother can’t take care of him when he is young.”

That's it!
After hearing Baochai's words, it is true that Xue's family is miserable enough.Although there was a prodigal family in the royal family of Jinling, Wang Ziteng's house is now in full swing.The men in the two households of Xue's family all died young...

He asked, "Your uncle also has only one son in his family?"

"Besides the brother who is slightly younger than me, there is also a younger sister who is in her teens. Before my uncle passed away, he had an in-law relationship with a Hanlin surnamed Mei." Baochai said leisurely.

It is said that orphans and widowed mothers are deceptive, and the Xue family has two widowed mothers and orphans, but the family business is doing a lot.Brother Rong can imagine that the current situation of that family is basically the same as that of Xue Baochai's family. In the next few years, the business in various provinces must be losing money every year.

Jia Rong sighed secretly.Sure enough, what the old ancestor said was not completely unreasonable.The family needs to be prosperous, otherwise, no matter how big the family business is, the children and grandchildren may not be able to keep it.

Like Xue's family, there are only one year old boy left in both houses.How can we manage the fine-looking general managers and shopkeepers in the provinces.If the children and grandchildren lose by themselves, at most they will blame the children and grandchildren for being unfilial; if they are stolen and taken away by outsiders, they may not die with peace of mind.

Brother Rong thought to himself, it seems that my uncle has broken his promise, and he still has to pray for more sons in the future.This is by no means patriarchal, but his mother. In this ghost world, it is really difficult to pass on a family business without a son.

He also understands now why there are so many temples and Taoist temples in the north and south of Dayan.Those people knew that it was not their own child who was begging in the temple, but they were willing to beg for a child.

All profit-oriented.

He laughed: "We should have more children in the future, so that the children will not be bullied in the future."

Baochai blushed, rubbed her small head on his chest and nodded.

She said: "I'm talking about Jinling with you. I just want to talk about these things. I just let Brother Rong have an idea in advance, so that in the future, Feng girl will not know how to insert Wang Ren'an into the cement kiln to manage things. She is considerate of cousin Wang Ren's dissatisfaction." Easy, it hurts our business.”

This lady spared a lot just to guard against Wang Ren?
Although Jia Rong felt a little unbelievable.But thinking that this world is different from the previous life, I still listened to Baochai's persuasion, and secretly left an idea in my heart.After all, Wang Ren is not Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong can still try to support him when he is young, and the price he pays is also small.But Wang Ren is in his 20s and has always been a prodigal, how can this help.

There can be relatives, but they can't be too outrageous.

Fu Qin Zhong lost dozens of taels of silver at most, and this Wang Ren is not something that can be solved by dozens of taels of silver.

He said: "This is the only benefit of Ningguo Mansion outside the country, and it is also the foundation of Ningguo Mansion's future foothold. Naturally, untrustworthy people cannot be allowed to intervene. When the kiln site is selected, I will send a letter to Shenjing and send Qiang Brother, come here."

Baochai hummed, "Brother Qiang and you are brothers from the same family, so he is naturally more trustworthy than outsiders. But on that day, the Jia family in Jinling will give some benefits to prevent the resentment of those who belong to the same family. "

Jia Rong really didn't think about this.He almost forgot the existence of more than ten houses in Jia's Jinling.He asked curiously, "How can I benefit them? Jinling's ancestral land has more than a dozen houses, and a few hundred taels of silver for each house is not a small amount."

Xue Baochai said: "It is also difficult to calculate. You are the head of the Jia family. You are nothing more than building bridges and temples, buying family properties, donating money to reward family studies, etc. First, let the Jia family remember Rong Rong's kindness. When something happens at the cement kiln, people from different houses in the clan can easily order it."

It's about money again.

Ugh……

Brother Rong thought for a moment, and could only agree with Baochai's statement.

He could remember an incident that happened in his own family in his previous life. There were many remarkable people in his old home in a certain southern province, and one of them was from the same clan and village.

It's just because that big man didn't make any contribution to the clan after his success, and he didn't do any good to the county either.In the end, it became a delusion for the descendants of the great man to sleep in the ancestral land forever after a hundred years.Even the memorial hall of that great man was not completed until the eve of his arrival in the Red Chamber World.

Humans are all about profit.

In the past, he also persuaded the people in the clan to build a memorial hall without spending money from the clan, and it could also boost the local economy.But what they got in exchange was the clansman's eyes and sneer.

I remember the enmity of decades ago.

Baochai asked him again, "Do you have a plan in mind?"

Brother Rong giggled: "I suddenly came up with an idea, according to the appearance of Shenjing Yixue. There is also a scholarship set up in Jinling Ethnic Studies. In addition to the monthly rewards for outstanding students, how much will be rewarded for those who have passed the college exam? What about the test takers? Give this scholarship a nice name, it’s called the Jia Rong Scholarship.”

Xue Baochai laughed when he heard this. "It's shrewd. It's good to do so. But what if the family is poor and has no money to go to school?"

Jia Rong snorted, "Ningrong and Rongfu also donate a lot of silver to Jinling every year. If these ten houses can't even protect the poor in the clan, you should ask them. Our family's silver is not good either. How can it be thoughtful when the wind blows over."

Baochai said: "Brother Rong knows how to measure, so he can rest assured."

Who is this girl underestimating, she is a few years older than her.No, it should be said that the age in my heart is not younger than her.Many things are easy to understand, after all, they are hard enough.

He said: "Bao Er should know our strengths. I didn't get in touch with them in the past. As long as I get in touch with them a little bit, I can not only know the proportion, but also know the depth."

After hearing this, Baochai turned up suddenly for some reason, and her face gradually turned red.

"Don't say such stupid words. You must know..." Baochai's words came to his lips, but he felt that it was hard to say, let alone the depth.Youyou rolled his eyes at him, and then said: "As long as you know what's in your mind. In the past two years, the cement kiln production has been temporarily supplied to the imperial court, and the people are watching eagerly. The Xue family is not in a hurry for this temporary transaction. When the output is available, The Xue family will send this day's goods to all provinces."

This girl also understands hunger marketing.

Brother Rong laughed, "We'll change his name from now on. The word cement doesn't sound good. Changing it to Tianwu Gonghui will make people feel taller."

Although Xue Baochai didn't understand the meaning of Gaodashang, she understood the meaning of Brother Rong's words.He nodded and said: "Brother Rong, even if you build a kiln for production, if Jiangnan and Jingji can't sell it, the Xue family will sell the cement to Nanling and Beiliao. If Beiliao can't sell it, they will send it to Yili and Zhenzhen. Sell."

"Where is Zhenzhen Country?" Jia Rong had never heard of this place.

Baochai suddenly felt a slip of the tongue, and thought that her sister was young now and had already married someone.Just then he smiled and said: "I don't know how far it is, but I just heard my sister mentioned that it is on the coast of the West Sea. The girls there have the same face as the beauty in the Western painting, with yellow hair and couplets. Anyway, we The Xue family, except for the overseas countries in the east, can’t do business now, there are connections in the north, south and west.”

"Look how proud you are." Brother Rong laughed, stretching out his hand to tickle her.

There was a lot of commotion in the room, and when Baochai finished laughing blushingly, the two could barely fall asleep.

Day two.

Early in the morning, Ying'er blushed and came to help Baochai get up.I didn't dare to say anything, I just kept my head down and didn't dare to look around in the room.

In front of Ying'er, Xue Baochai said without hesitation: "Sister Lin will be coming later, so don't rush to leave. The servant girl of the Lin family will bring breakfast. If there is something to do, we will go over after breakfast together. "

Jia Rong nodded.

When he came up with this idea, on the one hand, he was worried about Jia Lian's accident, and on the other hand, he wanted to grab the credit of Jinyi Division.

Now that Jia Lian is recovering from his injuries in the Lin Mansion, and was messed up by the people from the Jinyi Department yesterday, there is no need to deal with the salt dealers in Yangzhou City anymore, and Brother Rong himself doesn't want to go to the study and sit stupidly.

After a while, it was as Baochai said.Sister Lin came over excitedly, and when she saw Brother Rong in Xuanzhong, she obviously smiled even more.

After breakfast came, Brother Rong couldn't take it anymore.

Daiyu is a girl who can speak clearly and logically a while ago, which is really not in line with Brother Rong's style.Food is to be eaten, so there are so many rules.

Rough people don't understand elegance and vulgarity.

However, this was the first time that Jia Rong sat at the same table with other women besides her own wife.It's a bit strange to say, after starting, the atmosphere in the room also becomes very strange.

"I said you sisters are nowhere to be seen, so they are all busy here. You didn't even ask me to come. Now you think your sister is an eyesore?" Wang Xifeng twisted her waist and came in, laughing strangely, "Brother Rong didn't come out today. Mansion? Is the matter of your second uncle Lian settled? He is still waiting for a reply."

The atmosphere in the room was even more strange. Brother Rong wiped his mouth and said, "Thankfully, my aunt reminded me that I got back too late yesterday and forgot to reply to the second uncle's news. He must be very anxious now, so he has to go quickly."

After all, he left the table and slipped away like running away.

Only Ping'er behind Wang Xifeng showed puzzled eyes, and he didn't meet Second Master Lian when he came just now, how did grandma know that Second Master Lian entrusted the uncle to do things?Furthermore, can Second Master Lian and grandma disclose the matter between the men?

But Wang Xifeng gently wiped the corners of her lips with the silk, and said with a smile: "Sister came over suddenly, the two sisters won't blame me for disturbing you."

Lin Daiyu walked away from Brother Rong, and said with a slight smile: "Sister Feng came just in time, and I have something else I want to ask my sister for help."

Baochai remained silent, tasted some food, and put away the bowls and chopsticks.Ask Yinger to bring tea, and sit by the side to watch the maids of the Lin family feed the koi in the lake.

"Brother Rong is here."

Jia Lian is still lying on the bed at this moment, the scars on his back are indeed a little hideous.In fact, his injuries were not serious, only his delicate skin and tender flesh were severely beaten, and his movements were inconvenient.

"Second Uncle is feeling better today?"

Brother Rong approached and saw that the medicine on Jia Lian's back should have just been changed.

Jia Lian was not in the mood to listen to this, but was only worried about how the woman outside the mansion was doing and whether the money had been delivered.This guy hurriedly sent the people out of the room, and after seeing the door closed, he asked Brother Rong, "Is everything all right?"

Brother Rong nodded and said, "Okay, Second Uncle still doesn't trust me? The other party has already collected the money, so don't worry. Second Uncle should take good care of his wounds, try to get well soon, maybe we can see her again."

"Huh?" Jia Lian frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jia Rong said: "I don't know what the relationship between the second uncle and that woman is. She heard my identity and almost ran away in a panic. Later, she took the money, and the woman said something inexplicable."

After hearing this, Jia Lian asked anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, "What did she say? But it's because I didn't go there in person?"

Uncle Lian is really a passionate seed.Call him scum, he gave away a lot of real money.You can say that he is not a scumbag, famous or unknown men and women, all comers are always welcome.

As far as Jia Lian, a good-for-nothing boy's means, how many women are not satisfied with seeing him?No wonder so many people love him, this guy...

Jia Rong sighed and said, "I didn't blame you, and I said a lot of words of gratitude. But later, I asked me to confess to you, saying that she was instructed by outsiders, but she didn't explain what happened. Then she hurriedly I quickly took the money and ran away, and after I chased it, I realized that it was the garrison of the Sanhe Camp who were arresting her."

"How could it be related to Sanheying?"

"I have an old relationship with the general of the Sanhe camp. After inquiring, I found out that this woman was placed next to my second uncle by an outsider. The purpose is to find a way to deal with Master Lin, and it has something to do with the emperor's order that Master Lin received." Jia Rong's story Zuo made a vague mention.

I saw Jia Lian froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.In the end, he sighed helplessly, and said: "So that's the case. Is there no need to worry about her life for the crime she committed?"

"It should be worry-free." Jia Rong originally thought that the seed of passion would lead him to save the woman, but seeing Jia Lian's appearance now, even though he was depressed, he didn't have such intentions.He said: "It's just that the woman was originally a prostitute in Yangzhou City. Although she was instigated by others, she was also guilty. In the future, whether she will be sent to Lingnan or sentenced to a punishment for a few years, and she will be convicted when the Thirteenth Master returns."

When Jia Lian heard this, he saw the tragedy of a woman with his own eyes.Under the sigh, there is sadness.He murmured: "She has evil intentions and intends to murder Xunyan Yushi, she should be punished."

Just as Jia Rong was about to comfort her, she saw Second Master Lian shaking her head secretly and said, "Forget it, even though we have a romantic relationship, after all, we have bad intentions to harm the future of our relatives. It's what we deserve, we... don't want her any more."

Brother Rong didn't expect this guy to have such awareness.Said embarrassingly: "Second Uncle is able to understand righteousness, it is my Jia family's blessing. I will be more careful in the future, it is difficult for outsiders to find out the details. Second Uncle is to ask for love, and he must be an innocent woman. Otherwise, Back in Shenjing, the wives may not be able to tolerate it."

Jia Lian turned her head to look, and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect you to teach me a lesson now, but she asked you to say this?"

"It has nothing to do with my aunt, but the voice of my heart."

Jia Lian took a deep look at Brother Rong, as if trying to see through Jia Rong's heart.After staring for a long time, he slowly asked, "You and her..."

Halfway through the words, he swallowed again.

Once people become suspicious, they will pay attention to various details.Jia Lian was no exception. Before Jia Rong was married, there were some gossips between Rong and Wang Xifeng.It's just that they were still behaved back then, and all the anomalies started after Brother Rong got married.

Later, after some time, Jia Lian also gradually discovered that the differences between Brother Rong and Wang Xifeng were indeed more different, and their husband and wife gradually became estranged.Now after he was injured, Sister Feng also came to visit a few times, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

Jia Lian saw that Brother Rong was hesitating to speak, so he said helplessly, "Brother Rong must always remember that we are a family with the same surname Jia."

Jia Rong hummed, and said, "I would like to follow my second uncle's instruction."

Jia Lian smiled wryly and shook his head, asking Rong to help him up.Looking at Brother Rong's face, he didn't say anything for a long time.

Sometimes it's better not to talk than to talk.

Even after Brother Rong came out of Jia Lian's room, he still couldn't turn his head.I don't understand what Lian Erye means, and I don't understand Lian Erye's thoughts.

Perhaps, what Jia Rong thought was a heinous crime was nothing more than that in Jia Lian's eyes.Or, Jia Lian was concerned about the future of the Jia family, seeing how hard it was for the Jia family to come out with such a success.

Anyway, Jia Rong didn't want to understand.

Even if there is only jealousy, there should be angry words, verbal threats, and expressions of dissatisfaction.

However, Jia Lian had nothing and did nothing.

"Second Uncle, take a good rest."

Jia Lian said: "If Brother Rong has nothing to do today, can you sit and talk with your second uncle?"

Brother Rong spent the whole morning in Jia Lian's room, and he didn't know what the two of them said or what they were talking about.

However, after Brother Rong came out of the room, his expression became extremely complicated.He let out a long breath, and let go of a certain stone in his heart.

Strange to say, this guy Jia Lian had recuperated for a few days, and most of his back injuries were healed.The strangest thing is that he actually forgot all about the woman and never asked Brother Rong again.

Today, it is rare for Daiyu and Baochai not to pester Jia Rong.He and Jia Lian were fishing outside Yangzhou City. When he was on the rise, a young man from the Lin family came to him.

"The old man finally remembered me. He thought the Thirteenth Master had completely forgotten us." Brother Rong laughed.

Jia Lian said: "When the prince arrives in Yangzhou, he will naturally start the reform of the salt class first, and let you rest for a few more days. Do you still dislike such a good thing?"

"Didn't we listen to the second uncle's teaching that day, thinking about contributing more to the court?" Brother Rong laughed, and said: "Second uncle is here to fish first, and my nephew went back first."

Jia Lian nodded, looking at Brother Rong's back, showing a complicated expression again.

It took a long time before someone collected the fishing rod.

The human mind is the most complicated.

In the city of Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai, the censor who patrols salt, lives in the mansion.

In the study, King Zhongshun and Lin Ruhai asked about the pros and cons of the salt class in Yangzhou over the years, and about the new salt class system.

After a long time, Master Thirteen frowned and asked, "The bastard hasn't come back yet?"
