Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 216 Half Awake Half Drunk Day After Day

In the room, Xue Baochai looked at her and smiled, looking quiet and graceful.On the white and tender neck, the blush from the inside out looks like a peach blossom in spring.

Brother Rong looked down, as if he was in a peach blossom forest.Forget about the movement outside the house, and don't care about the warblers outside and the cool breeze outside.In his eyes, the pink peach blossoms were swaying in the wind, so he looked carefully.Layer upon layer, each blossom is blooming.

Jia Rong knew in his heart that he would not have much time to meet Baochai.Tomorrow, I will go to the kiln factory outside Jinling City, and I will cherish this good night even more.

Hearing Baochai's angry and tender voice, he felt endless pressure at the same time.

This kind of pressure seems to come from the underground abyss, as if there is a strong suction force that cannot be escaped from the ground, and it is also like a sudden increase in gravity between heaven and earth.

"Brother Rong!"

Xue Baochai called softly, and Duanxian's face became even more charming.There seems to be a spring of the East China Sea hidden in the eyebrows, and the trickling spring water flows down.She only felt her body sinking, and her sensual body couldn't help trembling.The reserved and closed knees relaxed their vigilance, and the arms went over to hook Brother Rong's waist.

She blushed and glanced at Brother Rong, and then closed her eyes, looking even more pretty under the gorgeous dress.A voice echoed in my head, is this my husband?He also thought about the face of Brother Rong, who was looking at him in front of him, but he didn't take a good look at it recently, but his face turned darker a lot.

Frolicking in the room, Yinger outside the room has mixed feelings.

When the girl met Uncle Xiaorong, she became more and more daring after being misled by him.

How could she know the beauty of Peach Blossom Temple as a little girl?

I don't even understand the hymn written by the famous poet Tang Bohu in the previous dynasty:
"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Immortals in Peach Blossom Temple. Peach Blossom Immortals plant peach trees..."

"Drunk and still come to sleep. Half awake and half drunk day after day..."

"One in the flat ground and one in the sky... He has to drive and I have time... Others laugh at me for being crazy... No flowers and no wine to hoe the field."

A maid like Pian Ying'er knows how to appreciate poems, even a maid like Xue Baochai doesn't know what it means to go back and forth, layer upon layer, and intricately.

Brother Rong chuckled: "I like Baoer's wrinkles the most."

Xue Baochai opened her eyes in doubt, she is in her youth now, where did the wrinkles come from.In a state of perplexity, he carefully studied Rong's explanation, only to hear the villain snicker and whisper something, and then his face turned pink.

She was about to fight, but she couldn't summon the strength at all.With a murmur, he lightly raised his arm but couldn't help but grab the curtain beside him.

outside the room.

Ying'er was fascinated by the sudden autumn and winter drizzle under the night light, and the only blooming flowers in the courtyard seemed to be more colorful under the drizzle.Listening to the voice inside, she had the illusion that she had come to Chunri.

She slowly walked down the eaves, taking advantage of the drizzle at night to come under a tree.I saw the dust dripping along the petals in the flower bones after the autumn and winter rains and strong winds, and then disappeared.

"It should not disappear, but the night is too dark, so I can't see it again." Ying'er squatted down and muttered to herself.Reach out to pick up the flower buds that were knocked down by the wind and rain on the ground, put them on the tip of your nose and sniff lightly.

She let out a groan of disgust, dropped the flowers, and came back from under the tree.Stepping back to the eaves, I saw flowers and plants living under the eaves, and the long and thick leaves were even more green after the wind and rain.

Ying'er was full of curiosity, she lightly tapped the tip of the leaf with her finger, and immediately felt the temperature of the drizzle.

It's really strange.

The servant girl Yinger squatting under the eaves was puzzled.

After pondering carefully for a while, listening to the sound of rushing in the room, the servant girl Ying'er was stunned on the spot.

It took a long time before I heard Yinger's name being called in the room. It was the girl who asked her to fetch water.After hearing this sound, Yinger ran away shyly.

A few more days.

Jia Rong has already gone back to the kiln factory outside Jinling City. As the weather gets colder, the kiln factory in Jinling gradually looks like a factory.All the rules were also made with the assistance of Jia Qiang and Zong Cheng.

Thinking about it, in the future, I can take a chance to sneak back and go back to Wang's house once in a while, and go to Xue's house secretly.

It was a beautiful scene, but because of the letter from Shenjing, it felt dull again.

"homesick?"

Brother Qiang asked him.

He said: "Yes. It's been a long time since I left Shenjing, and your sister-in-law is pregnant again. How can you not think about it?"

In Wang Jiafeng, he could see her once in a while, but in Shenjing, Qin Keqing could only contact her through letters.Although Jia Rong is an asshole and is not a good man with special feelings, he still misses such a virtuous and good woman like Qin Keqing.

But he didn't know that at this time, in the water transportation department of Huai'an Mansion, there was a person who was cursing his mother.

Tang Fufang looked at the stack of letters in his hand, and looked at them again and again, feeling unspeakable pain in his heart.Originally, it was planned to wait for the grain to be transported to Shenjing, and then visit Jia's house.Now...he scolded Jia Rong enough, and started scolding the officials below.

"They're all without eyes. It's not enough to ask for benefits from the past merchants on weekdays, but they've even set their minds on rivers and natural objects. Can this thing be messed with? Now not only the people in the south of the Yangtze River are poking Ben Du's back , even King Zhongshun personally wrote a letter to reprimand him."

King Zhongshun is blaming the governor of Water Transport for not solving the problem of the destruction of the heavenly objects for a long time.

Chen Fu, the deputy general of Cao Biao in the courtyard of the Ministry of Water Transport, also had a bitter face, and picked up letters from various places in the south of the Yangtze River from the table to look at.Said: "Someone must be behind the scenes to fuel the flames, otherwise how could it spread all over the country."

Tang Fufang snorted and scolded: "Do you still want to think about this kind of thing? Except for Jia Rong, Duan Yu, and that brother, they are the only three who have the guts. Which of the other palace guards dare to do it with the governor?" right?"

"These three people..." Deputy Chen sighed leisurely when he thought of the identities of Jia Rong and the others, and couldn't say any more.

"The governor doesn't care about the people's scolding, but now he has offended the three families at the same time. It's even worse for King Zhongshun..." Tang Fufang paused, feeling extremely unwilling, and said: "Wang Zhongshun It's the reformers, how can we have a good life in the Ministry of Transport in the future?"

When everyone in the room heard this, they couldn't help being surprised.Someone said: "Such a small matter should not make all the officials agree to reform. After all, the masters of Shenjingli get a lot of respect from us every year."

Tang Fufang glared at the idiot who spoke.Cursed: "Bullshit filial piety. Don't Yangzhou's salt transport envoys pay a lot of filial piety to the officials? Don't the [-] kiln owners in Yangzhou give enough offerings to the court? In what year will they not send tens of millions of taels of silver to the capital? Not all the officials of the Salt Transportation Department in Yangzhou have been sacked. Even all the officials in the Yamen of Yangzhou Prefecture have been replaced, and such a big matter should not be used as a lesson."

Deputy Chen said helplessly: "In the past, the officials of the guards also collected money like this. How could they have thought that such a thing would happen suddenly. It also provoked the family star of Jia's family. Now we should think about how to solve it."

Tang Fufang secretly glanced at the crowd, and said gracefully: "Now that King Zhongshun is in charge of this matter, he must show his attitude. I heard that Jia Rong returned to Jinling in a hurry, so I should send someone to Jinling to meet this Ningguo The Lord Fu is the one. Which of you can recommend yourself and go to Jinling to settle the matter."

Everyone in the room lowered their heads when they heard the sound, not daring to answer.Tang Fufang and Chen Fu looked at the front, their faces became colder.Deputy Chen scolded: "In the past, when you were getting money, you were more anxious and diligent than anyone else, but now you pretend to be dead if you don't even go to Jinling?"

Everyone smiled wryly in their hearts, it would be impossible not to pretend to be dead.They heard that Lord Ningguo Mansion is not easy to get along with, so they don't know what request they will make in the end.Ruoning State Mansion's request is high, will they agree or not?In the end, I am afraid that neither side will get any benefits.

The temporary short meeting of the Ministry of Water Transport did not come to any conclusions in the end.

Because they all know that things have become big.

It was known to all by a "mysterious" person with a heart.The people in the south of the Yangtze River and the rich merchants who travel to and from the south of the Yangtze River all know it, the grain officials from other provinces who send grain know it, and even the hundreds of officials in the court know it.

Some things, everyone knows in their hearts is one thing, but everyone is talking about it is another.

"Brother, let's go to Jinling."

Tang Fufang sighed in disappointment.He knew how not to deal with the Ningguo Mansion first, and those mysterious people who preached the "good things" of the Ministry of Water Transport would not stop.The so-called three people become a tiger, and when the momentum is bigger, the officials in Shenjing may not dare to accept the tribute of Water Transport.

Deputy Chen felt even more bitter, and as expected, this painful job finally fell on him.

There are a thousand or ten thousand dirty words in his heart that he wants to say.

"He scolded him, I want to scold my mother." Duan Yu snorted angrily, "The bastards of the Ministry of Water Transport want to ruin the bright future of the brothers, let's not show him any color, how can he still have face? Wear this dress."

Brother Ji said a few words of comfort, and asked, "Brother Rong is the biggest sufferer, what did he say?"

"Brother Rong, what can you say?" Duan Yulian snorted twice, and said depressedly: "Brother Rong doesn't want us to pass the letter home and let the elders make trouble for the Ministry of Water Transport. Say it so as not to have any objections to us now."

Brother Ji nodded and said: "Brother Rong is not bad. It is really inappropriate to act like this, so as not to be charged with forming a party."

Duan Yu snorted and rolled his eyes at Brother Ji.Said sarcastically: "Brother Rong doesn't know what's going on, so can you still not know? Do you want to stay in the Sanhe camp in Yangzhou for the rest of your life, guarding two thousand soldiers in your hands? The Thirteenth Master and the scholar Shu Bole have already signed a letter To reform water transportation, now is the opportunity to deal with the governor of water transportation."

Brother Ji laughed dryly and said: "You are the ones who have been harmed, why bother to bring brothers in."

Duan Yudao: "Brother Bo has not been on duty with the Thirteenth Lord for a long time, so I don't know the content of the letter here. In the future, the Governor of Water Transport will be replaced by the Governor of Haihe, and the tens of thousands of Cao Ding will be renamed Xunhai Navy. According to Brother Bo's situation , maybe you can get a sailor general in it, wouldn't it be more chic than guarding two thousand rivers and garrisoning troops?"

Brother Toki shook his head. "I've only heard about the Fujian navy, but I don't know what the Haihe navy will look like. I don't want to go where there is Yangzhou on the sea."

"You don't want to go about the pirates in the southeast and northeast?"

"Ok?"

Duan Yu heheed twice, but he didn't want to talk about the rest.But Brother Bo understood the meaning, smiled on his face, and flattered Duan Yu, saying: "Brother says how to do it, we will definitely not postpone it. Isn't it just a governor of water transport? My brother wrote a letter to send to the father, and we must Let me talk about the pros and cons of water transport in front of you today."

Duan Yu nodded when he heard this.What they are doing now is not to contact the key people, but to write a letter to discuss the pros and cons, and take advantage of the reform of the water transport department to count the bad things that the water transport department has done in recent years.

When the other people saw the smile on Duan Yu's face, they couldn't help beating their hearts. How could this Shangguan be possessed by Brother Rong?He also learned that method and wanted to stab people in the back.

Brother Ji asked again: "Recently, Huai'an and Yangzhou prefectures have a lot of songs about water transportation, but brother ordered them?"

Duan Yu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't know anything about it.Shaking his head, he asked, "What's the situation?"

"We don't know. I thought it was my brother's instigation. Ever since I heard that the cement of Brother Rong's house was destroyed that day, it suddenly spread in Huai'an and Yangzhou. Everyone knows it, young and old. , the discussion is loud."

"There is such a thing?" Duan Yu asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Brother Rong instigated it?"

Brother Ji shook his head and said: "Because it's not him, Brother Rong is far away in Jinling, and there are no relatives from his family in Huaiyang, how can he order such a big battle?"

"..."

Everyone was puzzled.

Jia Rong is no exception.

When he saw Deputy Chen of the Ministry of Transport, he was completely dumbfounded.

"It's not me, don't wrong good people. We are decent people, and we will never do such indecent things."

Rong Geer shook his head again and again, this damn is shaming.How dare he do things that incite public opinion.At best, he would expose what the Ministry of Water Transport had done on the spot, but he would never guide public opinion.

If this thing is careless, it will set you on fire.

Chen Fu smiled wryly and said: "I also ask Rong Rong's guards to hold their hands high. This matter really shouldn't be a big deal."

"I really didn't do it." The feeling of being wronged is absolutely uncomfortable.Jia Rong is not a fool either. This incitement to the public can be big or small. Although it can have an impact on the Ministry of Water Transport, it may also be impeached by all the officials in the court.It may even become a thorn in the royal family's side, or a thorn in the side that even King Zhongshun may not be able to keep.

Brother Rong saw the desolate expression on Vice Chen's face, and was also muttering in his heart.Anyway, my family has already got the benefits I wanted, and I got another 3000 taels of silver.Tang Fufang is also generous.

Now I have to get out of it as soon as possible, so as not to be splashed with this dirty water.

He smiled cordially and said, "It's just a small misunderstanding between our Ningguo Mansion and the Ministry of Water Transport. It's good to clear up the misunderstanding. Tomorrow, I will go to Huai'an from the north of the Canal with the Vice Governor, so that the people on both sides of the strait can see that our misunderstanding has been cleared up." gone."
