Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 215
Brother Rong said slowly: "Brother Yu's family doesn't need to be afraid of him. Pity my Jia family has no parents to shade, and no brothers to match each other. How can I fight against the mighty and powerful Governor of Water Transport. This is a disaster. The river project has been delayed again, so we can only swallow our anger."

"Swallow a bird's breath."

Duan Yu squinted at him sideways, and said in a strange voice: "Who in the court doesn't know that you have four princes and eight princes, and you have the Wang family and the Zhen family to complement each other. You are just a governor of water transport. If several families are in trouble at the same time, you are afraid that you will not kill him? Brother Rong, don't you?" If we want to lose the prestige of Second Duke Ning Rong, let’s call the brothers who stayed in Yangzhou and write back to the family together. Tang Fufang, a birdman, wants to hinder our achievements, so we can’t spare him no matter what.”

Seeing Duan Yu's expression, Jia Rong didn't look like he was lying.I couldn't help being surprised, I just complained a few words and blamed the governor of Water Transport for the failure of the cement to be delivered on time, but I didn't expect to ask several companies to mess with Tang Fufang.

He quickly grabbed Duan Yu and said: "This matter should not be too publicized. We only reported to Jin Yisi in a letter earlier, and now we will report to the Governor of Water Transport. I am afraid that the palace will have other ideas."

When Duan Yu heard this, he immediately calmed down.Cliques are the most taboo in the palace, if there is another trouble, it will make the current impression of several families bad.He snorted unwillingly, "This time it's cheaper for him."

Jia Rong said: "He can't bargain for a bargain. It's just that the heavenly objects from the kiln factory in Ping'an Prefecture will take a month to deliver."

"How long does it take?"

Brother Rong laughed and said: "There was a mistake, so naturally we have to be more cautious. One month is a conservative estimate. If I can't find a suitable sea boat in the border of Ping'an Prefecture, I have to go to Xue's house in Jinling to find it." Borrow a boat."

When Duan Yu heard this, his eyes widened.Lian pulled Brother Rong to ask, "Why did you still get Jinling to borrow a boat? There are still two months until the end of the year, how can you afford the delay?"

Jia Rong said: "Don't worry, it will be delivered a year ago. The magistrate of Xuyi County is related to my Jia family, can I still deceive him?"

"That's the only way to go." Duan Yu replied in a muffled voice, but he held a grudge against the Governor of Water Transport in his heart.Although he didn't like Tang Fufang a long time ago, but this incident hindered his credit, and the grudge was settled.It's just that he didn't know that if Jia Rong hadn't asked the people from the Holy Church to light a fire, the cement would have been delivered in the past few days.

It's just that Duan Yu will never know the truth of this matter.

Since Jia Rong was in a hurry to go to Xue's house to borrow a sea-going ship, she didn't stay long in Yangzhou and Fengyang. She only hurried to Xuyi to see Duan Lang explaining the project and Duan Yu to explain the situation, so she took the boat Go south to Jinling.

Xue family.

It was the first time for Jia Rong to come here, and it was also the first time to see the glory of the Xue family.Although there are no extremely colorful and luxurious decorations, the furnishings in Xue's mansion are all extraordinary.It's just that there are still traces of mourning in the courtyard and mansion.

After asking, he found out that Xue Biao's father died of illness last year. Now only Baochai lives in the big courtyard of Xue's house, and Xue Biao's younger sister and mother live in the second courtyard.Since Xue Pan has already returned to Beijing, the only male of the Xue family in Jinling is now mourning in front of the ancestral grave.

"It's only been about twenty months, and my brother has to stay in the ancestral land for a few more months." Baochai said politely: "Our Xue family is different from your Jia family. The son is born for three years, and the mourning day is 27 months old. Not less. Brother Rong wants to join Brother Xue Biao, but it is not an easy matter."

Brother Rong curled his lips secretly when Baochai teased him.He was not lazy, at that time Emperor Xian De said that he should be regarded as a military officer, and the mourning period had already passed.Even if there is no past, it is the emperor's decree that seized love, let alone blame myself.

He asked: "So what? Maybe I will introduce my aunt and wife to discuss about borrowing a boat? The river project of Hongze Lake is still waiting for the cement in Pingan Prefecture. If it continues to delay, it will not be able to explain to the people in Jiangnan and the river government."

Xue Baochai glanced at him lightly, and said, "It's impossible to see outsiders within this period of time. You are not from our Xue family, let alone think about seeing your aunt."

"This..." Seeing the secret smile on Baochai's face, Brother Rong sneakily took this girl's little hand, and said in a low voice, "It seems that we can only trouble our dear Baoer. We only need one. No matter how much you spend and the freight, it will definitely not be short."

Xue Baochai grinned and glanced at him strangely. "There are always no rules. Today you stay in the other courtyard of the mansion for the time being, and I will go talk to my aunt. This business should not be a problem."

When Jia Rong heard this, her palms became hotter, and she even felt that the little hands in her hands became softer.

"Excuse me, Bao'er."

Baochai became ashamed when she heard the sound, and called the maid outside, and led Brother Rong to a secluded courtyard outside.She took Ying'er to the courtyard of Xue Biao's house and told about the Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Rong didn't know how much time had passed, but only when the sky was gray and dark did someone come outside again.

Xue Baochai had just entered the yard when he saw Jia Rong, a bastard flirting with their little maid.Wei Se smiled and said: "The characters from the sky are really different. You can see a lot of things just by looking at the handprints on the palms. They are extraordinary after all. It's better to find out their bones, no matter how bad they are, there can be someone who can be a concubine." Life."

Got caught.Brother Rong didn't feel embarrassed, he pretended to be nonchalant.Hehe smiled and said: "It's all a trick to deceive people, how can it be taken seriously."

The maids in the small courtyard heard this, they couldn't take it seriously as a trick, and they couldn't help feeling disappointed.You Yuan glared at Uncle Rong, and left angrily.

When Xue Baochai saw that the maids had finished walking, she snorted: "Fortunately, they are our maids. They are going to be replaced by the ones in my aunt's yard. I don't know what is going to happen. They are all shameless snobbish eyes. Sooner or later, they will all be sent out of the house." go."

"Send them away, where does Bao'er have any servants in the mansion." Jia Rong eagerly pulled Baochai's round and fair little wrist, sat down side by side, and asked, "What did my aunt and wife say?"

"Coincidentally, the business has been neglected for more than two years, but two boats have been vacated." Xue Baochai said softly with a smile: "Brother Rong can use these two boats, but the crew and boatmen You have to recruit Ningguo Mansion yourself."

Um?Only boats, no crew?

What Jia Rong wanted most when she came to borrow a boat was the crew, especially the reliable old crew with sailing experience.Ningguo Mansion really only wanted a ship, and it would cost hundreds or even thousands of taels to buy a sea-going ship in Ping'an Prefecture, but the old crew might not be able to recruit them.

Seeing his embarrassment, Xue Baochai secretly said, "It's nothing to do. Because my second uncle died of illness, many businesses have stopped. Now there are only two empty boats at home. According to my aunt, there should be an old captain on each boat. The rest of the people have all dispersed. I calculated that after the funeral next year, I will sell the boat. Brother Qia Rong needs it, so it’s okay to borrow it from you first.”

According to this, the two houses of the Xue family are about to decline.Business has declined, and even seagoing ships have to be sold off.The so-called orphans and widowed mothers are hard to be in charge of the family, the Xue family has no man in charge of the two houses.

Jia Rong sighed secretly, the situation was worse than that of Ningguo Mansion.

"Can I still contact the original crew members and invite them back." Brother Rong asked, but suddenly saw a mysterious smile on Xue Baochai's face.My heart was inexplicably shaken, this girl has also learned to bluff people.He stretched out his hand and hugged Ren'er into his arms, as if he had to teach him well.

Baochai yelled, and said with a giggle: "Who made you so unruly that you even molested the little maids in the theater when you came to my house."

"Is it reasonable for you to lie to me?" Jia Rong snorted softly, stroking her with both hands.

Baochai, who has always been dignified, is smiling prettily at this time, her blushing face is coquettish and angry.She held Brother Rong's arm tightly with both hands, for fear that she would fall off his lap.While frolicking, I felt a hot current gushing out of my heart again, half-dry with a tingling feeling.

Baochai twisted her waist and arms, and begged for mercy, "Brother Rong, don't make trouble, I will explain, I will explain."

Ying'er, who had seen the whole process by the side, had already lowered her head in embarrassment, but she didn't dare to leave.He just closed the door and stood aside with his eyes blank, not knowing what to think.

"I'm not telling you the truth." Brother Rong also stopped making trouble, and put his arms around Baochai's slightly thick waist, his fingers patted the fat place below with his own rhythm.

Xue Baochai took two breaths, and let out a mouthful of warm breath.With a faint smile on his blushing face, he proudly said: "Uncle's family indeed has two seagoing ships resting, and the crew and boatmen are also familiar and reliable. It turns out that these two seagoing boats often go out to sea with uncle, but now they have to go to sea because of family affairs. There is no one to host, so the overseas operations in the southeast seas are suspended."

"So that's it." Brother Rong laughed, gave Baochai a light kiss, and asked with a smile: "If I borrow one of the sea boats, Xue Biao's family will go overseas for business in the future, what should I do?" ?”

"It's not just that there are only two sea-going ships in the family. In addition, in the past, it was under the mission of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so there was so much business. In the future, it will not be listed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Xue Biao is still young, so the overseas business will naturally decrease." Xue Baochai He said softly, "The aunt who said earlier wanted to sell the sea boat, it's not a lie. Uncle's business is huge, and now that he's not here, the family can't take care of it."

Now that the boat was borrowed, Jia Rong felt relieved.

"With sea-going ships, the cement in Ping'an Prefecture and Jinling will not only be supplied locally in the future. Many new ports have been opened in the southern coastal areas. In the future, they will not only be sold to Hangzhou, Fuzhou and other places, but even Lingnan. The region, Jilongshan and Leizhou Islands can also be sold.”

Xue Baochai smiled and said: "But it's agreed, your cement kilns are only purchased by the imperial court, and the private sales can be managed by the Xue family's shop. If you really want to sell it to Jilong Mountain and Leizhou, it is the Xue family who took the natural objects and transported them there."

"Remember, remember. I can't let your Xue family suffer. Your Xue family is the general agent of foreign distribution of the cement kiln factory. If you really want to make your Xue family suffer, my aunt will not allow me to see the best Bao'er in the future. gone."

"Bah. Buying and selling belong to buying and selling, how can it be counted together with other things." Xue Baochai snorted, but suddenly felt a strange movement, lifted her body slightly but couldn't stop her blushing.Youyou rolled a glance at Brother Rong, and said gracefully: "It's still early."

"Good treasure is too fragrant."

Brother Rong laughed twice, only to feel the strange fragrance of Baochai's body in his nostrils.This strange fragrance is delicate and long-lasting, and it can also seduce people's hearts and souls, and it actually makes his thumping heart beat faster.

Again!
I also feel that the person in my arms is extremely soft, and everywhere is softer and softer.It is definitely a normal reaction for Brother Rong to have a slight movement. It is absolutely normal for him to dare to do it in the name of Uncle Xiao Rong, and there is no abnormal reaction.

When Baochai heard this frivolous remark, she felt that the change was even worse, and the anger in her heart gradually became more and more hot.He let out a breath of hot air, pursed his pink and thin lips, and his eyebrows and eyes gradually softened.She twisted her waist slightly, as if it was the first time a woman who can't act like a baby acted like a baby, a little pretentious but extremely cute.

Baochai suddenly remembered something, and looked back, only to see that Yinger was still in the room.Give an order to ask Yinger to boil more hot water for later use.

After the two met the door and closed again, the world returned to peace.

Xue Baochai could only hear the heartbeats of himself and Brother Rong in the dark room.It was beating chaotically, and it was beating more and more urgently. She could even feel the blood in her veins surging with the rhythm of her heart.There was another movement that matched Rong's heartbeat.

These voices made her more ashamed, more dry, and her mouth became dry again.

Seeing her appearance, Brother Rong gently moistened his lips.This is definitely an excellent good way, the best choice to deal with dry lips in cold weather.At least Jia Rong thought so, gently lifted Xue Baochai's chin, he could feel that Baochai was extremely satisfied with this help.

He said: "The night is colder, let's go to a warm place."

When Xue Baochai heard this, a blush spread down her neck and extended to an invisible position.The plump Baochai was picked up by Brother Rong and changed places.

A puff of dry, hot and turbid air spewed out, and the temperature in the room rose rapidly.

Xue Baochai lowered her head and exclaimed, her fingers gently slid over Brother Rong's barely delicate skin.Brother Rerong took a deep breath of cool air, as if he was relying on this cool air to suppress the scorching heat in his heart.

At night, it's too urgent.No, it was the breath of oppression.

The clothes made of foreign silk are so soft and smooth. Has Western weaving technology developed to this point?
Thinking for a moment with a wry smile, although Dayan foreign silk comes from both the East and the West, it is mostly spun in Dayan according to Western preferences.However, he still thought that in the future, he should study it carefully.Ask clearly, see thoroughly, and make it clear.

Xue Baochai looked down at his expression, but couldn't help laughing.A shallow smile, just look at the faint smile on the corners of the mouth, like the famous painting "The Smile of Mona Lisa".

Gently unloading Brother Rong's clothes with both hands, the smile on her face turned into surprise.The thoughts in her heart were even more complicated and unspeakable, she knew very well what Brother Rong was thinking at the moment.Feeling agitated in my heart, I sighed, and rubbed my lips up and down to moisten them again.

The fiery breath slowly spread in the air, Xue Baochai's unrouged lips parted involuntarily, and let out a long breath very slowly.
