Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 196 Where did that pair... go?
"What are Duan Yu and Brother Bing coming here for?" Jia Rong muttered in her heart, and smiled and asked the two colleagues to go in and report.

King Zhongshun seemed to have expected that Jia Rong would come, and a faint smile appeared on his face after hearing the news from the guards.Let everyone in the room go out before letting Jia Rong in.

"You kid isn't guarding the embankment of Hongze Lake, what are you doing here?" Thirteenth Master asked with a smile.

Ask knowingly.Brother Rong curled his lips and replied: "The boy heard that the Thirteenth Lord and the governor of the river will go back to Lema Lake tomorrow morning. He was afraid that he would be in charge of flood control in Hongze Lake, so he hurried over to ask the Thirteenth Lord for advice."

The thirteenth master listened to this. "The matter of Hongze Lake has been planned for a long time, and Duan Yu and Brother Ji are here, so it's your turn to take on the important task."

"Eh..." Look down on people.Jia Rong muttered: "Master Thirteen, why don't you let the jade guards take charge of Huaihe, Hongze Lake, and Gaoyou Lake?"

The Thirteenth Master snorted, "Those two boys are good at arresting people, but they don't know anything about water control. The method of opening canals to divert water and build gates to store water was proposed by you, so it's up to you to take care of it. Do you still want to shirk? The matter is not decided by this king, your stay or departure is seconded by Hedao Governor Shangzuo today. Could it be that you are on duty in the palace, and your affairs will be arranged by this king?"

"Is not it?"

The Thirteenth Master put aside the relationship and said: "Of course not. You are the second-class bodyguard handpicked by the emperor, and you are only dispatched and arranged by the emperor when you are abroad."

"The part-time job in the water conservancy camp and farm office is also ordered by the Holy One?"

Jia Rong saw Master Thirteen and nodded before she understood.It's no wonder that the elder brother is also a guard of the palace, but he can control the military power in the local area.It turned out that all the part-time missions were appointed by the emperor, and his part-time missions in Shuitian Mansion and Hedao Yamen were no exception.Maybe when I was resting in Yangzhou, the governor of Hedao was playing a borrower.

The Thirteenth Master said: "Don't pretend to be foolish in front of this king, just talk about what's important."

Brother Rong laughed dryly, brewed his emotions for a while, and sighed: "Thinking that the people in the south of the Yangtze River live day and night under the threat of water disasters, my Ningguo Mansion is blessed by God, and I want to repay the holy favor. The boy is fortunate to be favored by his ancestors. I once entered Lihentian and obtained a prescription for a heavenly object. After thinking about it for a long time, I only felt that this heavenly object was beneficial to the world, and I wanted to publicize the heavenly object to the world."

Listening to Jia Rong's words, King Zhongshun thought that this kid had finally made progress, but he didn't expect that the last sentence of publicizing the world almost made him vomit blood.The strange color said: "Have you thought it through?"

Just listen to Jia Rong's loud and righteous voice: "Although it is the private party of our Ningguo Mansion, it is for the people, for the people of the world, and for the great Yan community. It is nothing for the Ningguo Mansion to suffer a little loss. I just want everyone in the world to be safe." Can live in peace."

King Zhongshun frowned, and when he spoke, he snorted coldly and cursed: "Fortunately, you said this in front of me. If you change to another place, your head will move tomorrow. If you talk about the people and shut up about the country, it is you who say that." Can you say it? You have good intentions, and if such words are spread, people will think they have ulterior motives."

How can it be ulterior motives to think about the people and the country?
Brother Rong was stunned for a while, and then listened to King Zhongshun: "In the future, don't mention the matter of sharing the worries of the people. Remember that you are sharing the worries of the Holy One and doing things for the royal family. Not everyone has the right to think about the people, nor is it Anyone is qualified to share the worries of the common people."

Jia Rong has a flexible head, so she understood after hearing this.In feudal society, all officials did not serve the common people, but served the royal family.The common people are just a group under the royal rule, and the officials are the tools of the royal rule over the common people.

So when someone calls out to share the worries of the people, then this person becomes a different kind, and will be regarded as a rebel who is trying to shake the imperial power.

Wang Mang is not so easy to be.

Brother Rong lowered his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "The boy has indeed been wronged. Since you want to present Fangzi, you must shout your slogan beautifully."

The Thirteenth Master gave the bastard a blank look, and said with deep meaning: "You Jia's family will not suffer, especially the palace..."

Palace?Isn't it Yuanchun?
It's all good calculations.

On the outside, there is an excuse for all the officials to stand on the high ground of morality, and on the inside, there is the expectation of everyone in the Jia family to hope that Yuanchun will be favored.

In the final analysis, this is nothing more than an exchange of interests.

Jia Rong now also knows why the emperor named Yuanchun, firstly to win over Bagong and Wang Ziteng and others, and secondly to force Jia Rong to hand over the cement formula by the way.

He speculated about the emperor's behavior with the greatest malice, and Jia Rong even suspected that the emperor knew that the emperor and the old concubine were going to seal Yuanchun, but he just delayed until the Yangzhou incident was over before agreeing.

Regarding all matters in Yangzhou, if Lin Ruhai dies, the emperor will give the Jia family a favor along the way.In the end, Lin Ruhai didn't die, and Jia Rong made a big contribution by intervening, and it was justifiable to give Yuan Chun the concubine.

The emperor only earns but not loses.

Dry!
Brother Rong grinned, although he didn't remember what Yuan Chun looked like.But such a girl in her 20s was just sent to the dragon bed in the Forbidden Palace.Others think it's a favor, but Jia Rong doesn't.even……

Getting a woman for nothing, the other family still thinks it is a matter of favor, Jia Rong also wants it.

Jia Rong took out a piece of paper from her pocket, looked at it, and found that it was a cement prescription.For Yuan Chun, this is just a ticket, a ticket that can make Yuan Chun feel favored in the deep palace.He sighed, since the Jia family hoped that Yuanchun would be favored, it would be feasible to give away the prescription. Anyway, they didn't want the cement kiln of Ningguo Mansion.

With Fangzi, it is easy to burn cement, but it is difficult to grind it.Jia Rong felt a little relieved. With the simple ball mill made by Zongcheng, other people would never be able to produce the same quality and quantity of cement as Ningguo Mansion.

Brother Rong said: "The boy knows that the things of nature are of great importance, and although he intends to announce it to the world, he is also afraid that the world will be the queen, and someone will accidentally spread this prescription to other countries. So I have to ask the Thirteenth Lord and the present to do it for us."

After hearing this, King Zhongshun nodded in satisfaction, took a few glances at the prescription, but gradually frowned.Indifferently said: "My lord remembers that you once said that the materials needed to build bridges, dams and sluices are different from ordinary cement. What is recorded here may be used for the construction of sluices and dams?"

Knowing that King Zhongshun couldn't be fooled, Jia Rong sighed and said: "This recipe was brought by the boy from Lihentian in the past, and the recipe for building the sluice and dam was developed by Jia Qiang, the boy's brother of the same clan. Without Jia Qiang's permission , boy..."

"The head of the Supervisory Office of the Ministry of Industry is the sixth grade, responsible for the supervision of cement required by the Fourth Division of the Ministry of Industry and other government and civilian projects." King Zhongshun glanced at the bastard angrily, and snorted, "Are you satisfied?"

real or fake?Just casually gave him an official status?Jia Rong was skeptical, and said: "The kid has a wife and brother, and now he is in charge of the cement kiln in Ping'an Prefecture. He has also contributed a lot to the development of Tianwu Cement."

King Zhongshun gave Jia Rong a sideways look like a fool when he heard about it.He sneered and said: "Don't push yourself too hard, don't let your Ningguo Mansion take all the benefits, that empress is from the Rongguo Mansion."

He thought things were simple before, and it was really not an easy thing to arrange for a child like Jia Qiang who had no academic name and no father to be an official.Just thinking of the hard work I have put in, the Rongguo Mansion has taken advantage of it.I feel a little unhappy, it must be that Jia Zheng who was promoted in the Rongguo Mansion.

He said embarrassingly, "That kid's credit?"

King Zhongshun stared at him with wide eyes.

…………

"At this time, the uncle can figure it out." Seeing Jia Rong come out, Xiao Que'er happily went up with a lantern.

But no, the moon is high in the sky, and there is no sound outside.

Brother Rong asked Xiao Que'er to lift the cover of the lantern, put the paper with the cement square in his hand close to the flame, and lit it.Seeing that Fangzi had been burned to ashes, he took out a piece of silver and gave it to the coachman, and said generously: "I'm sorry for the long wait, now take us back to Hongze Lake station."

Knowing Jia Rong's identity, the coachman took the silver and said with a grin, "Thank you for the reward, sir, and I will send you back to the station safely."

Jia Rong and Xiao Que'er boarded the car, and the trip was not in vain.Consoling myself, the cement formula will be made public sooner or later, and it’s okay to get some benefits now.Anyway, it is good that the Ningguo Mansion keeps abreast of the latest technology.

Seeing Uncle Rong's tired look, Xiao Que'er showed distressed expression on her little face.He suggested softly: "Pass the lake and river during the hot day, and come here in a hurry at night. You must be exhausted, why don't you rest on Que'er's lap with your eyes closed?"

What is this girl thinking?
Uncle Rong pulled himself together and glanced at the little girl.There is not much flesh on those thin legs, I'm afraid it will hurt him.Without making a sound, Kui Kui closed his eyes and calculated in his mind.

Emperor Xiande, an old-fashioned critic, took advantage of Yuanchun, and asked Jia's family to give him a favor.If you have a chance, you must... Forget it.Emperor Xian De didn't even have a living biological daughter, so he couldn't avenge this even if he wanted to.

But no matter how she thought about it, Jia Rong felt uncomfortable and unwilling.As if I was taken advantage of by others, I wanted to take this advantage back.

The carriage was rocking gently and moving slowly.

Although the residence where King Zhongshun lived was not far from the residence of Hongze Lake, there was still a long distance.Jia Rong was so tired these days, after thinking about it, she actually fell asleep.

In the carriage he had a dream, a strange dream.

It was like returning to that certain night, also in the carriage.He was lying comfortably on Wang Xifeng's lap, and Sister Feng's little hand was gently pressing his head, and they were so harmonious together.

It's just that as time went by, he realized that the pair of legs he was resting on didn't look like Wang Xifeng's, nor did they look like Baochai and Keqing's.

Aunt Lin?
He was actually lying on Lin Daiyu's lap, no wonder... I just heard Daiyu say softly: "In a little while, we will arrive at Ningguo Mansion, Brother Rong, let's rest for a while."

Daiyu's expression was very strange, but she didn't push him away.As if a piece of information had suddenly been added to his mind, he was injured and unable to move, so he was sent to Ningguo Mansion with a pillow on Daiyu's lap.

Things were weird and illogical, so he could only continue to sleep on his pillow suspiciously.

Suddenly, Uncle Rong felt a little itchy ear rubbing.It was as if...someone was blowing lightly between his ears, and it seemed that something was crawling over him.

Before opening his eyes, he heard a familiar chuckle, and then felt a warmth on his face, that he was secretly kissed.

This is not something Daiyu can do.

Is it Sister Feng?

He reaches out...

"Ok!"

The little Que'er in the carriage had a scarlet face, looked at the uncle on his lap, and didn't dare to move.I just felt that those hands were exploring back and forth, as if they hadn't been able to find the destination they wanted to reach.

In his sleep, Uncle Rong murmured: "Strange, how good are those old friends?"

Xiao Que'er was ashamed and annoyed when she heard this.But after a while, the disappointed Uncle Rong stopped his hands and became quiet, moved his head inward to find a comfortable position and continued to sleep.

Exhaling a gentle breath, Xiao Que'er felt even more uncomfortable, but there was joy hidden on her face.

After more than an hour, Zai finally arrived at the Hongze Lake station.Xiao Que'er breathed a sigh of relief and woke up the old man.Jia Rong didn't know what happened, she only showed embarrassment when she saw herself lying on Xiao Que'er's lap.

Carefully helping Xiao Que'er to get off the carriage, he pouted and said, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier, my legs are numb now."

Xiao Que'er lowered her head and blushed, not daring to answer him.I can't say that I want to get close to the uncle, just sneak a few kisses casually.After Uncle Rong sent the coachman back, he said in a soft voice, "Can Uncle Rong go in with a bird in his arms?"

Want to take advantage of the uncle?The little girl has a lot of thoughts.Uncle Rong shrugged and said, "It's only a few steps away, it's my kindness that I can help you there."

Xiao Que'er was helped into the room, and only after Uncle Rong left did she hold her face in both hands, with a foolish smile on her lips.With a whimper, he threw himself on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and rolled on the bed with the quilt sandwiched between his limbs.

Jia Rong, who heard the movement in the inner room, thought that the little girl had gone crazy.

In the next few days, Jia Rong felt more and more that something was wrong with Xiao Que'er, as if the girl looked at him strangely every time.

"Are you thirsty, sir?"

"..."

"Is the uncle hot? Que'er fan the uncle."

"..."

Jia Rong looked at the eyes of other people around her, feeling extremely speechless.He said in a muffled voice: "From now on, it's fine to take it with you in the private house in the station, don't follow it."

"Oh."

Brother Rong helplessly pushed Xiao Que'er away, and said: "Don't follow me in the future, look who is still following a waiter."

"Oh."

Seeing Xiao Que'er leaving lonely, Brother Rong grinned.Duan Yu, who was not far away, came over and said with a smile: "Why did you send me back? Isn't it good to have such a loyal maid by my side?"

"Brother Yu, just make fun of us, we have a thick skin, don't be afraid."

Duan Yu smiled and said: "I didn't mean to make fun of you, everyone is envious of you. Where can such a maid come from, how to train her, I also teach my brothers."

These nasty guys.

Brother Rong rolled his eyes.He said: "The location of the diversion channel for Hongze Lake to enter the sea has been selected, and it will be handed over to the officials of the river department. Tomorrow, it is time to go to Xuyi County to patrol the banks of the Huaihe River, and after selecting the storage lake, flood discharge lake, and diversion channel, It's time to go south."

Duan Yu said with a smile: "I heard from the night guard that you chatted with the Thirteenth Master in the middle of the night. You are so anxious when you come back this time? But after you return to Beijing, you will promote Brother Rong?"

Jia Rong laughed triumphantly, and said, "The heavenly secret must not be revealed."

　It was agreed on two updates, but... the goose hasn't eaten yet, so the update time will be later.Let's get up early tomorrow and watch it
