Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 240

"I haven't heard of that news before." Jia smiled and said, "If the uncle wants to know, let's continue to inquire."

"No need." Brother Rong pouted.I asked Jia Xiao again if he had any other news, and when he saw him, he shook his head and boarded the car slowly.Everyone has secrets, everyone has the right to keep his secrets, this is his freedom.

Back in the car, Jia Rong became thoughtful.

Jia Xiao suddenly stopped himself from talking about a bunch of things about the holy religion. What is the purpose?Why did you choose to speak at this time?It was Baoyu's intention that he had guessed, was he implying something by coming here specially?

These people are also really interesting. If there is anything you can’t say clearly, you have to reveal a little bit and still use riddles.

But Jia Rong didn't get nothing, at least from Jia Xiao's words, some previous conjectures were verified.Jia Jing, the grandpa of Ningguo Mansion, has inextricable relationship with Shengjiao.

In addition to what I heard from the peasant envoys, the members of the Holy Cult are not only farmers and businessmen, but even officials and inner eunuchs are also members of the Holy Cult.

From this point of view, this holy religion is not as simple as a chaotic party.Maybe this thing is something made by the former royal family and princes' children.

Of course, these are all Jia Rong's guesses, and he is not sure about the truth.

"Master, we're here."

Jia Rong, who was thinking, was suddenly awakened by Shi De who was outside the car, and lifted the curtain of the window to see that he had indeed arrived at the corner gate of Ningguo Mansion.He didn't get out of the car in a hurry, thought for a moment, and called, "Go to Nancheng."

The architectural style of the southern city is very different from that of the inner city. Most of the inner city is the residence of princes and officials, so the architectural style of the inner city is grand.There are many civilians in Nancheng, so that the buildings in Nancheng are of different heights, some are grand and some are down-and-out.Those who have money use glazed tiles, while those who have no money use blue bricks and gray tiles, which look gray from the outside.

Those who are poorer may build houses by themselves, spread straw, and fix them with a few bricks and stones, which looks very dilapidated.Except for alleys, houses of various colors are built everywhere that can be built. If you climb to the roof and look around, you will see one after another, all kinds of strange things, and it is extremely spectacular.

Zhang Hongchen's courtyard is not conspicuous in Nancheng. It is neither the kind of rich mansion with glazed tiles, nor the kind of hut with a few bricks piled up randomly.Blue bricks and gray tiles, although not rich and luxurious, the courtyard is clean and tidy.

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I'm still here." Jia Rong chuckled.Looking at Zhang Hongchen's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his demeanor is really good, so it's no wonder that Baoyu can't forget this man.

"You'll regret coming."

"I never regret what has happened." Jia Rong sat down opposite Zhang Hongchen, looked at this man who seemed to be pretending to be a ghost, and asked, "Do you regret it?"

Zhang Hongchen shook his head, and said, "There are some things that I cannot afford to regret."

"It seems that you already know your current situation." Jia Rong looked around the yard and asked curiously, "Why don't you even have a servant girl?"

Zhang Hongchen took down the iron pot from the stove next to him, and gracefully poured Jia Rong a cup of tea.Red tea is like water stained red by blood.He said: "When Baoyu doesn't come, I just sit here quietly in a daze. I can't compare to you brothers and lords, why do you need a maid by your side. Even if a maid comes to the door, I dare not accept it."

Zhang Hongchen's voice was very calm and calm.

Completely different from the Hongchen Taoist in Jia Rong's impression, Zhang Hongchen has changed a lot in the past year or so.

Jia Rong blew on the hot tea lightly, and the tea was not bad.He said: "Baoyu won't come here in the future, you should put away other thoughts."

"I don't have any other thoughts." Zhang Hongchen laughed. "Maybe it was there before, but it disappeared later. Baoyu is okay, I heard that he was beaten up by his master."

"What you should worry about is yourself." Jia Rong took another sip of the hot tea, which was really warm in the cold weather.

"I just want to live." Zhang Hongchen also picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip. "This tea is good. Better to be alive than dead."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid that people in the sect will retaliate? Or are you afraid that your Jia family will cover up the scandal to silence you? Or will you be liquidated after being useless to the court?" Zhang Hongchen shook his head, calmly said: "It's like that at the guard's office. I have survived the days, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Looks like you already know."

"In the winter of the year before last, I had already thought of such a result." Zhang Hongchen added some water to Brother Rong's glass, and continued: "Isn't this exactly what Lord Ming wants?"

"Huh?" Jia Rong was taken aback.

Zhang Hongchen stared into Jia Rong's eyes for a while, then gave a wry smile and shook his head. "So you don't know anything. Didn't the Jia family stop you?"

Jia Rong suddenly remembered that Jia Xiao had stopped the car, and said: "I stopped, so it is even more necessary for me to come here."

"Stopped it?" Zhang Hongchen was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing. "It's easy to stop, such a Jia family, such a king of Ming. You are so powerful, the world of mortals is convinced."

Jia Rong didn't understand.

Zhang Hongchen was still laughing, laughing loudly.Lian Dao: "Your family has interests, it really is interests. If you want to talk about conspiracy and tricks, you must count your Jia family. Not only are you ruthless to outsiders, but you are also ruthless to your own people."

"Why did the Taoist priest say that?" Jia Rong asked.

"They all say that I'm a traitor in the sect. It turns out that these are all guided by someone. Poor Ouchi and Jin Yisi, as well as that unlucky holy sect, have all been tricked by your Jia family." Zhang Hongchen refused to explain. , just laughing there.After laughing for a long time, he tilted his head and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the identity of the Ming King of the Holy Teaching will be passed on to the palace?"

"This……"

Jia Rong was still unable to speak.

Zhang Hongchen had already stood up, as if he had been greatly stimulated.It turned out that the calm and breezy appearance had long since disappeared, but at the moment he was actually insane, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.He only heard his voice: "Yes, you are not afraid. The palace already knew that you are the reincarnated King Ming, so they put you under their noses. Yes, you are not afraid, because no one knows who is behind you. After that, no one will know.”

"Master Hongchen." Jia Rong called out.

Zhang Hongchen didn't answer him, and talked to himself like crazy. "Okay, what a game of chess, a big game of chess. Great chess. From now on, your Jia family will be relatives of the emperor, and you will be the head of the holy religion when you leave. But I also helped you eliminate the followers of Qingzun's sect, and I It was you, Prince Ming, who caught it with your own hands. Okay, that's great."

Zhang Hongchen is crazy, pretending to be crazy.

At least Jia Rong thinks so.A man who has endured countless hardships, a man who is overblown, has survived all kinds of humiliation and sins, how could he be so easy to go crazy.

If a person is determined to pretend to be crazy, even if a naked beauty stands in front of him, it may not be able to make him sober.

Baoyu's words have been delivered, and Jia Rong calls Shi De to lead the horse away.Left alone in the room, Zhang Hongchen cried and laughed, scolded Jia Jing secretly a few times, and expressed his admiration twice.

He put on his cloak and went towards Qingxu Guan.

No one knew what Zhang Hongchen was going to do, just as no one knew how complicated Jia Rong was at the moment.

Brother Rong muttered in his heart: "From the beginning, was it arranged by Jia Jing?"

No one can give him the answer, except Jia Jing.

However, obviously Jia Jing would not give him an answer.

When he returned to Ningguo Mansion, Ping'er and the others also came back from West Mansion.Jia Rong will know, not because he saw Ping'er, but because he saw Lin Daiyu.

Some people say: If a girl has feelings for a boy, even the fog of the whole world can't cover it.

In this world, there are three things that cannot be hidden: cough, poverty and Lin Daiyu's joy when she saw Jia Rong.

Jia Rong secretly avoided that look, and Tong Keqing asked, "Are the master and brothers of the Qin family back?"

Qin Keqing shook her head and said: "The housekeeper Shi's daughter-in-law has been going back and forth. Mr. Qin is not in good health recently, and he doesn't want to go back and forth. The boss of the Shi family has already been sent to the imperial doctor, and he also packed a lot of supplements such as ginseng and ganoderma."

Jia Rong nodded. It seemed that Qin Ye's physical condition was very bad.It seems that the affairs in Ping'an Prefecture can only be managed by other people. Jing Qing will stay by Qin Ye's side for the past two years to fulfill his filial piety.

He swept away the people in the room and left with a slight sigh.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but get serious.Women always want to hear a man's promise, but the saddest thing for a woman is that a man can't keep his promise.Daiyu always remembers the phrase "wait for him in Shenjing", and when she sees Brother Rong leaving, she thinks that Jia Rong is avoiding her.

My heart felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.

"Zicuckoo, Snow Goose, let's go back to Lin Mansion."

Suddenly, Lin Daiyu was going back to the Lin family.Qin Keqing, who was also in the room, didn't react. She was fine just now, so why did she rush back to Lin's house?

After staying for a while, Lin Daiyu left without looking back.

"Why is the girl crying?" Zijuan hurriedly wiped Daiyu's tears.I can't help feeling that the amount of tears a woman sheds has nothing to do with her body size.If there is, then it must be that the thinner the woman, the more tears she often has.

"Who will cry?" Lin Daiyu snorted with red eyes.She did not cry, but her eyes were red, and there was still a tear on her face, that's all.

Zijuan comforted her and said, "Uncle Xiao Rong came back after a busy day, maybe something happened, so he left in a hurry."

"It's none of his business." Lin Daiyu insisted.

"Grandma Rong said just now that the master of the Qin family is not in good health, or that master Xiao Rong is worried about this matter." Zijuan still understands Daiyu and knows what she is angry about.

"I didn't think about it. I didn't even greet you when we met. I didn't think it was something." After listening to Zijuan's explanation, Daiyu recognized half of it in her heart, but she still insisted.

After leaving Ningguo Mansion, Daiyu insisted on going back to Lin's house.

Jia Rong didn't know this.After hesitating for a while in the front hall, he finally gave up the idea of ​​meeting Jia Jing.Even if they met, Jia Jing might not be willing to reveal the truth.What Jia Jing was willing to say, he said it a few years ago.

Sigh.

Jia Rong has a habit of taking a hot bath whenever she is upset or has no clear thoughts.

Fortunately, Xiangling in his room is obedient.

When Xiang Ling went to give orders and came back, Jia Rong asked: "Why don't you go and stay with grandma, what are you doing in this room alone? You can also go to Ping'er, Que'er and the others to play."

"Grandma said that Ling'er will be the aunt in the uncle's room from now on, and she doesn't need to stay with grandma to serve her every day. Grandma will find an obedient maid for Ling'er in the next two days." Xianglian replied seriously, and explained: "Period My sister drank a lot at Xue's house, and she's still lying down now. Que'er has no time to take care of grandma."

Brother Rong laughed at her: "It's not interesting for you to stay in the room, don't get sick from boredom."

After hearing this, Xiangling smiled.The smile is very pure, so simple that there is no distraction.She said: "Ling'er has been used to being alone since she was a child, so it's okay. Ling'er was also worried that the uncle would need someone to take care of him when he returned to his room, so he stayed in the room and waited for him."

Jia Rong glanced at Xiang Ling in surprise, and couldn't believe that these words came from Xiang Ling.He smiled and said, "Which one taught you to say sweet words again."

"Sister Que'er has taught me a lot, but I can't always learn her words, and Sister Que'er often says I'm stupid."

"How can there be an aunt called Sister Maid, she is younger than you." Brother Rong took Xiang Ling's hand and came over. Although this girl had a little shyness on her face, it was extremely unobtrusive.Wait for Jia Rong to pick her up, put her in his arms, and sit down.Xiang Ling blushed uncomfortably.

Uncle Rong laughed and said: "Little Que'er is a ghostly spirit. Ordinary people can't learn from her, let alone learn from her. I don't like to listen to Xiao Que'er's nonsense, Hao Ling'er only said a few words now." Grandpa's heart."

"Which two sentences?" Xiangling asked naively.

Seeing this, Jia Rong couldn't help laughing for a moment.Even the troubles in my head were immediately emptied.This girl is so cute, she gently grabbed Xiangling's delicate chin, and asked: "Good Ling'er, raise your head, I will tell you."

"Huh? Uh... woo!"

After a while, Xiangling blushed and bowed her head.After seeing the uncle, he still looked at himself, and then slowly raised his head.

Seeing Xiangling's action, Uncle Rong tasted it again.The hand was also dishonest, sneaked in one hand, and scratched Xiangling's sensitive itchy place.

"Master let Ling'er undress first."

"..."

Most women should be shy at this time, and will struggle to some extent, even if it is pretending to be coy.Only Xiangling asked Brother Rong if it was convenient for him to move.Jia Rong couldn't help being helpless for a while, and it was indeed a little less interesting.However, seeing Xiangling's cute appearance, Uncle Rong didn't care about that anymore.

To have such a considerate person by my side, I don't know what a great thing I did in my previous life.

Uncle Rong said: "Good Ling'er, don't worry, when the hot water comes, let's take it easy."

Han Xiangling nodded, and said again: "Ling'er go over and urge them to hurry up and bring the water."

"..."

Jia Rong didn't refuse either, so she could only put Xiangling down, and watched Xiao Xiangling run out in a hurry, rushing for hot water for Uncle Rong's sake.

What a caring person.

Not long after, the splashing hot water was poured into the huge wooden bucket in the room.Bucket after bucket, Xiangling stretched out his hand to carefully test the water temperature.
