Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 218
All the wives in the mansion were happy for a while, but Mr. Zheng's wife frowned secretly and got angry.In her room, she cursed someone from the Eastern Mansion a few times, but even the maid beside her didn't know the reason.

Now Li Wan, the grandmother of Zhu, is in charge of the inner house of the West Mansion. When she heard that Sister Feng was going back, she sighed for a while.During this day, the smile on her face was a little less, as if she was that haggard chaste woman again.

Those gentlemen are still the same as before.

Jia Zheng and Jia Zheng were not accustomed to common affairs, and only relied on the arrangements of Jia She, Jia Lian, Lin Zhixiao, Wu Xindeng, Zhan Guang, Cheng Rixing and others.He piled up mountains and dug ponds, erected towers and erected pavilions, planted bamboo and flowers, and arranged scenery. There was also a system of mountains and fields, and the court was free, but it was just to visit everywhere, and to discuss the most important things with Jia Amnesty and others.

Although Jia Amnesty was in charge of all matters concerning the construction of the courtyard, he often stayed at home and lay idle. If there were any trivial matters, he would summon Jia Lian to take orders.

Second Master Lian became the specific manager of the mansion, but he couldn't restrain his idleness, and now that he was out of Wang Xifeng's control, he became more and more dissolute in the mansion.

Although I go to visit every day, I can always catch up with a daughter-in-law from the mansion during the trip, and I have three happy days a day.The slightly delicate daughter-in-laws and handsome servants in the West Mansion have been enjoyed by him many times, but the money in his hands has also been splashed out like water.

However, no one cares about it.

When Jia Lian was short of the money in his hand, he took the project and asked Lin Zhixiao, who was in charge of the warehouse, to pay the money, and he was able to enjoy himself for a while.In addition, brothers, nephews and nephews who have received work in the clan are also very generous in giving gifts, Second Master Lian's life these days is more chic than a fairy.

As for the specific affairs of the other courtyard, the two butlers, Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng, and the two housekeepers, Zhan Guang and Cheng Rixing, were really in charge of the matter.In order to curry favor with Jia Zheng, Zhan Guang and Cheng Rixing bought and purchased the prosperous and luxurious style of the construction of other courtyards, just like a saying: If you don’t choose the best, choose the most expensive.

The other courtyard has only just been repaired, and the luxury has already been revealed.

Jiayi, the female official of the palace who stayed in Ningguo Mansion, was also shocked. After the completion of this other courtyard, it should be more magnificent than Zhongshun Palace.But because Qin Keqing was pregnant for several months, and now it was getting closer to giving birth, she did not say such disappointing words.After hearing the news that Uncle Rong was going back, he ordered the maids in Ningguo Mansion to clean up the arrangement.

"It is indeed a happy event."

Grandma Rong heard the news of Sister Feng's pregnancy, and said such a sentence that she couldn't tell if she was sincere.

After eating, Qin Keqing reluctantly paced around the courtyard for a while, and returned to the room to rest after getting tired.

In Ningguo Mansion, Grandma Rong didn't take care of things after she became pregnant, Rui Jewelry took care of most of the internal affairs, and asked Youshi to make decisions on major matters.The internal and external affairs of the mansion are temporarily managed by Steward Shi, and they are dealt with according to the rules.

However, something happened to the mansion now, which was far beyond what Steward Shi could handle.

Jia Fan, Jia Qin, and Manager Lai actually came back from the Heishan Village in Beiliao years ago. Besides them, Wu Jinxiao and his son were also accompanying them.

Jia Qin shook the snow on his clothes, and his eyebrows gleamed with pride.

"Since Brother Rong is still on his way back, Wu Jinxiao and his son will temporarily stay in the servant's room, and we will settle the accounts carefully after Brother Rong returns home."

Steward Shi took the list and read it carefully, becoming more and more frightened.He had never dealt with such a thing before, so he looked helplessly at Manager Lai.

Lai Sheng said: "After counting the goods and checking that they are correct, let your daughter-in-law deliver the goods that should be sent to the backyard when they are put into the warehouse."

After hearing this, Director Shi nodded repeatedly and went to count.

Both Ningrong and Rongfu are busy with their own work.Because Baoyu had such a big event in his family, even the master Jia Zheng was not in the mood to ask him about his book, so he felt happy.

Now that winter is coming, the city is covered with heavy snow.

Baoyu couldn't find Daiyu when he went to Lin's house, and couldn't find the person he wanted to see when he went to Dongfu.Recently, she and Zhang Hongchen got closer, and when she had some free time, Baoyu drove to Zhang Hongchen's courtyard for a while.

In the cold winter, Jia Baoyu and Zhang Hongchen, two sad and unclean people, avoided the accompanying servants every day and snuggled up in Zhang Hongchen's room in Nancheng to keep warm.

Zhang Hongchen lay down and said: "Listening to the rumors of the past two days, it's time for your uncle Xiaorong from Ningguo Mansion to go back."

Jia Baoyu tidied his clothes by himself.These days, he has not learned anything else, but he knows how to wear clothes himself.How to wear which clothes and how to tie the belts are becoming more and more proficient.

Baoyu replied, "I'll be back in a few days."

Apart from those with ulterior motives like Zhang Hongchen, there were many other people who were paying attention to Jia Rong's arrival.Today, I suddenly went to Jia's house to visit Beijing Wang and his wife. The county king and his wife first went to Mrs. Shi to pay their respects, and then went to Ningguo Mansion alone to visit Jia Jing.

It's just that the Prince of Beijing, who had only returned from Beijing for a few months, still failed to meet Jia Jing.

"It's getting more and more hidden." Many caring people in Shenjing commented on Jia Jing in this way.

After the young third master got married, after a few months of hard work, he is now so energetic that he has the air of a righteous and loyal prince in the past.He beckoned everyone in the room not to be restrained, "In the days to come, there is hope."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your kindness."

In the room are all brothers who are the same age as the third master, each with bright clothes and extraordinary bearing.Even the woman who accompanied her in the room had an unusual demeanor, every frown and smile was within the rules, and she was actually a little ladylike.If it weren't for the seductiveness and charm in the eyes of the girls, people who don't know would think that these girls are sisters and sons of noble families.

The little third master laughed and said: "I am in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, and I will need everyone's help in the future."

"Your Highness speaks so seriously, it's a shame for us. It's our honor to serve Your Highness."

The third master was overjoyed when he heard the words, and exchanged cups with everyone present.He let out a long breath, and said haha: "I have invited everyone here today, I really have something to ask, I hope everyone will not reject me."

When everyone heard about it, they invited the third master to speak clearly.The disciples of the Imperial Merchant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't help but look at each other, with even wider smiles on their faces.

It turned out that His Royal Highness the Prince was trying to make cement.No, the preparation said that His Royal Highness has already got the cement prescription.As an imperial merchant, he originally served the House of Internal Affairs and the royal family, and the young third master was also the prince and the next emperor, so they naturally flattered him.

Lian Dao: "Your Highness Jinkou, we will naturally do our best. Don't say that we need to build a kiln together, but our family can also build a large kiln factory for Your Highness."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the room became more enthusiastic.

Jia Rong didn't know about these things in Shenjing.He is still on the boat at the moment, waiting on Wang Xifeng nervously.

It was not until the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month that Jia Rong and his party arrived in the Gyeonggi area, and finally entered the city of Shenjing near the end of the year.He sent Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai to the Rongguo Mansion, and led Xiao Que'er to the East Mansion.

"uncle!"

Just after entering the courtyard, Jia Rong saw a man with a round belly by the window.

Uncle Rong took three steps at a time, hurried forward, and said eagerly: "Don't move, be careful. Didn't we come back? What are you doing here? What if you fall?"

"Ke'er misses Grandpa."

It is rare for Qin Keqing to express her emotions like this, and she was about to snuggle into her arms, but seeing Ruizhu, Baozhu, Xiangling, Que'er, and Aunt Jiayi, the female official of the palace, were all there in the room, so she forced herself to calm down again.Said softly: "Master has worked hard all the way here, first let Rui Zhuzhuzhu wash away the dust from his body, after changing clothes, go to the palace to thank you."

Brother Rong sniggered affectionately, this girl actually taught herself, she is really a grandma.I also asked about the recent affairs in the mansion, and thanked Keqing for his hard work this year.

Qin Keqing said: "I am a sneaky person, how can I be tired? In the past few months, Baozhu and Ruizhu have been taking care of the affairs of the house. The two of them have no experience, and they are timid. It all depends on the wife. The good-hearted help of the uncle is to protect the property of the uncle. I have asked for it several times, and the wife has picked up good words, reassuring me and giving Baozhu Ruizhu peace of mind. Therefore, the mansion has passed these few months in peace. , and thanks to Aunt Jiayi who is always in the mansion, if there is something out of season, aunt will also remind the mansion."

Jia Rong thanked the female officer Jiayi again.

Jiayi sideways avoided, and led a group of little maids in the room away with a chuckle, leaving room for Uncle Rong and Grandma Rong.

Baozhu and Ruizhu went to order the water to be boiled alone, while the other went to prepare things for bathing. In the end, only two naive girls, Xiangling and Que'er, were left in the room to accompany them.

Qin Keqing said again: "In the past six months, a lot of things have happened next door. First, Second Uncle Bao made trouble in the school for a while, but was saved by the second wife, and now he doesn't even go to Yi School very much. Uncle Xue came back two months earlier. , but came to the mansion to send some things from all over the world. The eldest aunt of the West mansion sealed her as a concubine in the palace, and the two mansions have been lively for a few days. The grandmothers and wives of the former families have also come to visit. A few days ago, King Jing of Beijing came back from Mobei , I also met the second aunt of the Zhen family who is the concubine."

Brother Rong laughed at her. "You stay at home every day, but you still see so many relatives."

Qin Keqing shyly said: "The eldest aunt in the palace has been conferred the title of empress, and the relatives in the family are moving around frequently. When they visit the West Mansion, they will come back to our East Mansion."

Brother Rong lightly scratched her Qiong's nose, and asked curiously: "Why didn't I hear you mention Princess Zhongshun? Could it be that your godmother has never come to see you?"

Grandma Rong snorted softly, lifted her chin slightly, and said triumphantly: "Your Majesty came here naturally, and Aunt Jiayi often asked Aunt Jiayi to go back to the palace to report. Even the fourth princess came here once, and His Highness still hates the old man for coaxing her." Something happened."

"What did I coax her for?"

"His Royal Highness complained that the uncle's words are not mean, and he hasn't sent a story to the palace for more than half a year." Qin Keqing snickered.

Brother Rong scratched his head. "Thinking about the mansion collecting librettos in Shenjing, she herself refused."

When Qin Keqing talked about the fourth princess, she somehow thought of the aunt of the Lin family who had a personality quite similar to the fourth princess.The smile on his face gradually subsided, and he said gracefully: "A few days ago, Aunt Lin's family often came to the mansion, but the time of seeing each other has been less recently. Every time I see Aunt Lin, I feel that my aunt is full of thoughts, and my eyes are different from before. .”

"..." Brother Rong almost broke out in a cold sweat when he heard these words.Lin Daiyu's little girl is the last person who can't pretend to be stupid, let alone act, and she will reveal her secrets when she arrives in Shenjing.

But I really have nothing to do with her.

Jia Rong couldn't help but smile wryly.He reluctantly explained: "Aunt Lin is the most prone to wild thoughts at this age. Maybe she saw Ke'er's pregnant appearance, but she may not remember her mother. Or maybe she is going to marry someone else in a few years, young girl If you're thinking too much, we don't have to worry about her."

Qin Keqing let out a light oh, but felt that things were not as the uncle said.It's just that she didn't continue talking, but she talked about the naughty guy in her stomach, and Jia Rong listened to the movement again.

There was a gentle laugh in harmony.

Qin Keqing didn't mention anything about Wang Xifeng's pregnancy.

After a while, Xiao Que'er heard the commotion outside, and finally interrupted the sweet talk between the couple.

Jia Rong left Xiaoqueer and Xiangling in the room to serve Keqing, and went to the next room by herself.Just opened the door and went in, but saw billowing water mist behind the screen.

Ruizhu bowed her head in shame, and called softly, "Change clothes for the uncle."

Brother Rong smiled silently, and looked at the second daughter carefully.I haven't seen Ruizhu and Baozhu for a long time, and now they have changed a little, although their appearance is still the same as before.Her temperament was different, as if she had lost her childishness and became more feminine.

He said softly: "These days, thank you for taking care of things in the mansion and caring for Ke'er."

"It's what slaves should do."

Ruizhu took off his coat for Brother Rong, and Baozhu changed his skirt and robe for Brother Rong.Ruizhu re-tied Uncle Rong's hair again, and Baozhu took off the stockings for Uncle Rong again.

Jia Rong hadn't been served by someone like this for a long time, and she didn't want to have a strange feeling in her heart.

Are these two girls teasing me?
Brother Rong couldn't help but think wildly after he got into this special big wooden barrel.It seems that someone's hands are dishonestly probing randomly, and they all go to places with a lot of nerves.I really don't want it to be an illusion, I felt it carefully, and I quickly grabbed it just as the first hand was probing.

But Baozhu chuckled softly, "Master scratched and hurt my family, don't use such force."

this girl...

Brother Rong looked back, and saw that the two girls were wearing thin clothes, with their sleeves rolled up and their hair tied up.The steaming heat steamed the fair faces of the two girls into pink.Ruizhu's face was shy, and Baozhu's eyebrows were charming.

Baozhu said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, you have been tanned a lot, you must have suffered a lot outside."

The second woman's thin clothes showed the shape of the bellyband inside, and the brilliance was faintly visible in it, Brother Rong pretended to be calm.With a light laugh, he turned his gaze away and said, "It's not too hard, it's just that I haven't seen you and your grandma for a long time, and I have suffered from lovesickness for a while."

Ruizhu said in a soft voice: "Grandma also remembers uncle day and night."

But Baozhu said boldly: "Uncle remembers grandma is true, if you say that uncle misses our sisters...with second mistress accompanying uncle, there is no place for us to be concubines."

This girl is so bold, she still dipped her slippery little hands into the water.Brother Rong shook his body and stared at him. "When your uncle is that heartless person?"

Ruizhu glanced at Baozhu secretly, and hurriedly replied: "No."

But Baozhu said: "We sisters don't ask for anything else, I just hope that the uncle will not forget us."

Brother Rong was teased for a while, but when he stood up, the second daughter was startled.

Baozhu has always been smarter than Ruizhu, and more thoughtful than Ruizhu, so she said with a smile: "Grandma ordered, I have to clean up the old man."
