Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 231 Putting on Auntie
Li Wan took Ke Qing with him and said, "You really don't do any good things. During the first month festival, you also imitated Miss Feng and laughed at me."

"Don't attract me." Wang Xifeng quickly waved his hands to deny, and said with a smile: "Who in the family doesn't know Grandma Zhu's character, and if she doesn't accompany her upstairs to accompany her ancestors, she must have something to say when she comes here. Rong's daughter-in-law took Rong'er Get rid of it, you don't appreciate it."

Being teased like this, Li Wan didn't pretend to lie.Said: "I know kindness, but I came here to find Brother Rong."

Grandma Zhu spoke openly and honestly, but deep down in her heart, there was a strange awkwardness hidden.

No matter how shrewd Wang Xifeng is, he can't see through Li Wan's heart.She only knew that although Li Wan looked haggard and ashes on the surface, in reality it was Li Wan's way of living in Rongguo Mansion.She never thought about it in other ways, after all, Li Wan has always been a cautious person, although she can't help meeting the men in the house, she also strictly guards her reputation as a chaste woman.

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Oh, hey, how could I have expected it? I thought my sister-in-law came to see us, so I thought that the words between us would not be good for their elders to listen to. Ping'er, hurry up, give Grandma Zhu Rong Call me back."

"Come on. Don't tease me anymore. It's not a matter between the two prefectures. I'll go and talk to Brother Rong about the things about learning from Lan'er, so that he won't disturb your cleanliness again and again."

The second daughter in the room didn't care too much, no one was arguing here, but they were at ease.

Before Jia Rong went far, she heard someone calling her from behind.Seeing you later, it turned out that Aunt Zhu had come out of Keqing's room with her maid, Suyun Biyue.Curiously replied: "Auntie is looking for Rong'er?"

At this time, the masters, grandmas, brothers and sisters of the two houses are all busy in Tianxiang Building.Li Wan had already looked around, there were people in every room upstairs and downstairs, and it was not a place to discuss private affairs of the free school.

Li Wan said: "It's the matter of Yixue. We need to discuss the details again. Brother Rong can find a quiet place to discuss."

Yixue.These days, Jia Rong really didn't have time to talk to Jia Zheng and the others, and said in an embarrassing way: "Auntie says whatever she wants. It's just that the building is busy today, and it's cold outside. I'm afraid I can only go to the Xiangxian Pavilion or Yixia Pavilion next door." Sit down."

Grandma Zhu heard about Dengxian Pavilion and Yixia Pavilion, but she suddenly thought of Cong Lvtang, and her heart tensed and panicked.He smiled and said, "Although it's cold outside, it's not hard to freeze if you say a few words."

Seeing her slightly wary look, Jia Rong thought it was some gossip about widows and orphans that Li Wan was worried about.Seeing that Suyun was also behind Li Wan, she secretly praised Aunt Li Wan as a chaste virgin, and she didn't give anyone a chance to gossip.

"Auntie said yes." Brother Rong smiled heartily, and said: "Just as the plum blossoms in the garden are in full bloom, several maids from the two houses are enjoying the flowers in the plum blossom forest. Rong'er takes Auntie over to have a look, or you can walk around chat."

In Li Wan's opinion, this choice was excellent. There were many pavilions in the garden, and it was best to find a quiet but not remote place to talk about.There will be neither being overheard nor the embarrassment of being alone in a room.

Just stepped out of the Tianxiang Building, a gust of cold wind came and hit the face, which really made people wake up a lot.

Brother Rong, Grandma Zhu, and Suyun Biyue walked away from Tianxiang Tower not long after, and arrived at the plum blossom forest by the river in Huifang Garden.Going to the pavilion on the river bank, looking at the garden full of plum blossoms covered with snow, occasionally a few girls frolicked through the plum blossom forest.

It was a warm scene.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry too much. If you are short in school for a while, sir, it is also feasible to ask the second grandpa to clean up the guests for a while."

"I can't." Li Wan's plan was that Jia Lan usually still studied in the free school, and after school, he would let Jia Lan go to the old uncle of the Li family to study, just like Qin Zhong asked Mr. Duan Lang to make up lessons.She knew very well in her heart that the group of grandpas raised by her father-in-law were all elegant guests who played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with her, and asking them to go to free school would only mislead their children.

Jia Rong replied: "It's just a temporary response, not a long-term calculation. If you can find a teacher to teach within a few days, you don't need those gentlemen to go there. There is also Uncle Bingrui, the owner of the Confucian mansion, who can occasionally To Mr. Li to help govern the students."

Li Wan hesitated.Sighing: "Uncle Li is old and has limited energy. There are many students in the free school, Uncle Li can only focus on teaching a few of them..."

A gust of wind came, and the cold was like a knife, and the ears hurt.

Brother Rong tightened his cloak, but when he turned around, he saw Li Wan, Suyun, and Biyue standing in the cold wind.He curled his lips secretly, the aunt said she was not afraid of the cold anymore, she even wore a cloak and a coat outside, and only wore a pair of blue duoluo woolen jacket.I don't know if it reflects the poverty in their courtyard or something, how can the double-breasted gown keep out the cold of the winter wind and snow.

Looking at Li Wan's plain appearance, it's pitiful for such a beautiful person.I also miss her being a widow and raising children, which is really not easy.

Jia Rong sighed leisurely, took off her cloak and coat and handed it to Suyun next to her, saying, "It's windy and frosty outside, so put it on for Auntie."

In fact, he admired this aunt quite a lot in his heart. He didn't understand it before, but he thought it was stingy and selfish.But when he and Keqing had a child, many things suddenly came to his mind.In fact, it is not easy for everyone, especially for a few people like Li Wan.

Looking at her now, there is a trace of pity, or maybe it is the nature of a man not to see a beautiful woman feel pitiful and uncomfortable.Especially for a beautiful woman like Li Wan who, although life is difficult, is steadfast and steadfast and refuses to admit defeat.

In addition to pity, there is another feeling.There's nothing wrong with Grandma Zhu being stingy and selfish, it's all for her children.

It's like in the clubs of later generations, there are often women who grab the man's weakness and set themselves a wronged identity that life is not easy.Most men who hear such remarks for the first time will feel compassion and can't help but spend money to comfort them.

Of course, Li Wan is definitely not comparable to the women in the later clubs, not only in appearance, but also in temperament and integrity.Li Wan is Li Wan, she is the grandma Zhu who has been young and beautiful for many years, but has not spread any gossip.

Such a person, let alone a man, even a woman would give her a little more sympathy.

How could Grandma Zhu have received this kind of courtesy, and she felt that these were clothes worn by men, how could she be able to wear them as a frugal woman.Lian refused: "This is how I came here in the past, Brother Rong, just put it on, don't follow me out and freeze you."

Jia Rong saw her reserved.

Seeing that Suyun was at a loss for taking the cloak, he had no choice but to take it back.But he didn't put it on himself, and said slowly: "I know that my aunt is thrifty, but the cold is unbearable after all. My aunt has to support a group of people in the yard, let alone get sick. Today my aunt is also here to study for Lang Geer , if one day Brother Lan enters school and becomes a scholar, and his aunt falls ill instead, how should Brother Lan feel ashamed."

Jia Rong walked towards Li Wan lightly with the cloak in her hand.This guy has always been a bold and rude person. Although he is becoming more and more like the original person in this world, there are still many codes of conduct that are incompatible with this world.

What is he going to do?
Grandma Zhu panicked.Seeing Jia Rong getting closer and closer, my heart was in a mess.There is a kind of fear in my heart, the fear of moral taboos; there is also a little strange feeling that I can't explain clearly.

Not long.

Li Wan saw a tall figure standing in front of him.Right in front of him, the distance is very close, and he can still vaguely smell the temperature of the incense on the other party's clothes.When she was in a daze, Jia Rong swept the cloak away from Li Wan's head, and the warm cloak and coat covered Grandma Zhu's shoulders.

Silly.

Totally stupid.

Li Wan, Suyun and Biyue were all taken aback by such an extraordinary move.

Suyun was with Uncle Xiaorong that night when he was drunk, and he also witnessed the meeting between Uncle Xiaorong and Miss Bao yesterday.At this moment, there is only one thought in her mind: Uncle Xiaorong doesn't really have any thoughts about grandma, does she?Such courteous behavior is already bad manners.

Biyue next to her lowered her head early, ready to kneel down and beg for mercy at any moment.He only thought that if he saw such a scene, he would suffer in the future, and would he be kicked out by bad luck.

At this time, Li Wan's mind was blank, and only when he really felt the warmth from his body did his thinking become more or less active.But looking at the tall figure in front of her, that handsome and bright face gradually coincided with the face of Jia Zhu in her memory.Just like the dream last night, his mind was confused for a moment and he couldn't tell whether it was Jia Rong or Jia Zhu in front of him.

Grandma Zhu could feel the warmth all over her body. This kind of warmth came from the thick cloak and also from the depths of her heart.

In a trance.

After all, some things are engraved in people's bones.Jia Rong didn't notice anything, but put a cloak on the female relatives.Slowly said: "Auntie should be aware of the cold and warm weather. It's cold, and you are most likely to catch wind and cold."

"Hmm..." Li Wan replied lightly, not knowing whether to thank her or reprimand him angrily.

But Jia Rong saw her temple hair fluttering in the air, and her ears turned rouge red.He stretched out his hand and carefully pulled the cloak and hat on Li Wan. He moved lightly, but when covering Li Wan's head with the cloak, he accidentally touched her ear with his fingers.

The scarlet ears are hot.

Grandma Zhu suddenly felt ashamed, and she was fully awake.Taking two steps back, he said with an embarrassed smile, "Brother Xie Rong's clothes are down."

"They are all family members, so you don't have to be polite."

Li Wan felt his heart beating faster, but in his heart he kept cursing himself for being out of order.Suppressing contradictory thoughts, he turned the topic back to Yixue.Said: "Mr. Li will focus on teaching Lan'er in the future."

Jia Rong looked at Li Wan who was wearing a cloak more pleasantly, and nodded with a hum.He understood Li Wan's meaning, and he wanted Mr. Li to focus on educating Jia Lan, and make voluntary studies and lectures a secondary priority.This is difficult. As the patriarch, the most important thing for him is fairness.

Although Mr. Li is the uncle of the Li Wan family, he will take care of Jia Lan to some extent.It's harmless, but it hurts the rights and interests of other children of Yixue to take care of Jia Lan...

Jia Rong said: "Well, since Mr. Li has his own ideas, Brother Lan is also willing to make progress. When the museum opens in the next year, let the children of the volunteer school take an assessment. The top few who are willing to follow Mr. Li will go to school. Let them stay in the free school every day to extend the time of admission. They take the test every six months, and those who make great progress can enter the small class with outstanding talents. They don’t need to spend more money.

"Brother Rong, just discuss with the masters."

Li Wan was naturally willing, with a smile on her face, she only wanted to benefit Jia Lan, regardless of the specific operational arrangements.If you follow what Brother Rong said, you don't have to ask Jia Rong to include Jia Zhu in the supplementary class list.Anyway, in the past two years, Lang Geer has been between one and two in the monthly free school exams.

Her son must be one of them.

Thinking of this, Li Wan felt that the stone on his chest was much lighter.It's just that every time I see Brother Rong's face, some embarrassing images can't help appearing in my mind.She even felt the same way, so she hurriedly led the two maidservants away.

After leaving the plum blossom forest, Li Wan's footsteps became heavier and heavier.The two servant girls behind them didn't dare to make a sound, and all three of them slowed down.Let the wind and snow from the sky fall sparsely on the top of the head and shoulders.

Grandma Zhu was still feeling the warmth of Jia Rong's cloak, and blamed herself for being distracted by her nephew at a certain moment.

Tangle, contradiction, self-blame, anger.

"Sister-in-law Zhu, what's on her mind?"

Suddenly there was a chuckle, and Li Wan came back to his senses, and saw Miss Bao leading Yinger and standing beside her.Baochai always had a faint smile on his face, a kind smile.

What Li Wan thought of was Baochai's misty smile he saw last night, crying and laughing prettily on Brother Rong.She hurriedly replied, "No, I didn't think about anything."

Xue Baochai had sharp eyes, and at a glance she saw that the gorgeous cloak on Li Wan belonged to Brother Rong.Thanks to Li Wan's tall stature, the edge of the cloak did not completely drag the floor.

Grandma Zhu didn't want to talk about it, but Baochai refused to let it go.A chaste woman from Rongguo Mansion was wearing Brother Rong's cloak, how could she not think too much about it.If things go on, it's okay?

"Look at my sister-in-law who is walking slowly with her head down, thinking that there is money to be found on the ground in Ningguo Mansion." Baochai laughed and said, "It's because my sister-in-law also lost something important. In other words, let my sister also move my sister-in-law to look for it." on."

Li Wan also noticed that Baochai's words were not in the right mood, and suddenly remembered the cloak he was wearing, so he understood.He explained: "I didn't lose anything, I just discussed with Brother Rong about the righteous school. I'm thinking about it."

Seeing that Baochai didn't quite believe it, Li Wan made up a half-truth and half-fake story, saying: "Just now at the Plum Blossom Grove, I watched the little maids from the two prefectures frolicking. I said it was too cold, so I had the audacity to face her. Brother Rong borrowed the cloak, and many maidservants in the forest saw it."

Xue Baochai heard it, but couldn't find any leaks.

When the two of them entered the Tianxiang Building, Li Wan changed his cloak again and asked Suyun to send the cloak to Uncle Xiao Rong who was still outside.

Baochai stared at her with a smile and fixed eyebrows, allowing Li Wan to see her expression.

Grandma Zhu explained: "I also wanted to wash the cloak before returning it, but I was afraid that the wives and grandmas in the two houses would be overwhelmed, so I had to return it first. Brother Rong is still in the plum blossom forest, and the wind is strong outside. , it will be warmer if you wear it earlier."

Baochai nodded gracefully, still dubious about Li Wan's words.Neither revealed nor made a sound.It's just that she felt that the way sister-in-law Zhu looked at her today had a special meaning.
