Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 243

Beijing Jingwang and his wife are definitely interesting, one just left not long ago, and the other came to the door again.

When Jia Rong arrived at Cong Lvtang, she did not see the princess of the county.The servant girl led the way through the podium to the corridor facing the water.Under the antique-looking corridor, the princess of the county, dressed in a stone-blue dress, was fascinated by the river in front of her.

A breeze came.

In the bamboo forest on the other side of the corridor next to Conglvtang, the emerald green bamboo leaves trembled up and down in the breeze, making a sound like the rush of the tide.

Jia Rong went with the wind, and only when she got closer did she see the side face of Princess Qingjun.With slender shoulders and thin waist, and a long figure, she is somewhat similar to Tanchun.Her temperament is more noble and mature than that of Que Tanchun.After all, she is the daughter of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no sister in the Jia family who can match this kind of temperament.

"Brother Rong is here." The princess of the county turned her head slightly, glanced at Jia Rong, and said with a light smile, "Your house has an elegant place, the only thing missing is a chair."

The face of the princess of the county is more like Tanchun, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a duck face, handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows.Gu Pan's flying appearance is softer and more delicate than Tanchun's.Jia Rong replied: "Then tell the maids to bring some chairs from Conglvtang."

"No need." The princess of the county shook her head lightly, and said, "Just seeing this curved water reminds me of Jinling."

Jia Rong said: "Your Majesty likes this place, but you can often come to sit in the mansion."

The princess of the county didn't answer him, she looked at the surrounding wall and asked: "That's the other courtyard built for Concubine Xiande's relatives."

"Exactly, it will be completed in April this year."

"It's a unique place." The princess of the county praised lightly.

Jia Rong replied, and the two fell silent in the corridor, looking at the river and stream together.After a long time, the princess of the county said: "The king of the county and Baoyu..."

Ok?
Brother Rong hurriedly turned his head and looked at the side face of the princess in doubt.

I saw the princess of the county shaking her head secretly, and said with a helpless smile: "It's nothing, Brother Rong, let's go back and do some work."

baffling.

After Jia Rong left Cong Lvtang, she still felt strange and puzzled.Call yourself over, just to ask your relatives?He went back to the yard full of confusion, and heard that Xiangling went back to the room to rest, and Uncle Rong went to visit again.

Xiangling suffered a lot last night.

As an uncle, you have to care about it no matter what.And it was all because of him, a rough guy and a reckless stick, that he caused Xiang Ling to suffer a great crime.

When Jia Rong came into the room, Xiangling fell asleep like a kitten.

What a docile and lovely appearance.

Uncle Rong couldn't help kissing Xiangling's forehead. Xiangling, who was sleeping, moved her long eyelashes, raised her upper eyelids slightly, and vaguely saw Uncle Rong beside the bed.

Xiao Xiangling suddenly woke up, looked at the sky outside, and whispered vigilantly: "It's still early today, sir, let Ling'er rest for a while."

"You have a good rest." Jia Rong said dumbfounded, and stroked Xiangling's head with her hand.

Xiang Ling hummed, clutching the quilt with both hands, but the vigilance in her eyes did not disappear.Carefully said: "Ling'er is still in pain."

After hearing this, Uncle Rong's hand stopped in the air.Embarrassment... With an embarrassing smile, she said, "Ling'er, sleep peacefully, the uncle will stay with you in the room."

"Yeah." Xiangling nodded.

"Rest at ease." Looking at Xiang Ling's tired eyes, Jia Rong felt distressed and helpless, so she got up and walked outside.After leaving the room, I called the little maid in the yard to go in to take care of Xiangling.

Seeing this scene, Xiangling in the room couldn't help showing a silly smirk.Seeing a maid coming in, she just fell asleep with a smile on her lips.

Jia Rong, who had nothing to do, went to the free school first, and asked several substitute teachers if they were dedicated.He also summoned Lai Sheng, Jia Fan, Jia Qin and others, and asked when they could leave Beijing for Heishan Village.

"Under the command of the uncle, we will naturally have a perfect plan. We will be able to leave in early February and arrive in Heishan Village in mid-March."

Jia Rong nodded and said, "How is the recruitment going?"

Jia Juan said: "I didn't dare to make a big fanfare, and I was afraid of arousing the suspicion of interested people, so I only recruited close relatives in the eight rooms. Although there are not many people, there are more than 20."

"That should be the case." Jia Rong nodded, "This time you don't have to take the land route, but instead take the sea route to the Haihe River, and from Shengjing to Beiliao by land and water. On the way, I will go to the kiln factory in Ping'an Prefecture first, and I have sent a letter I gave it to Jia Yun, and Jia Yun will make arrangements for you when you arrive."

"All according to Brother Rong's orders." Jia Fan and Jia Qin had bright smiles on their faces.

This time they went to Heishan Village, and they finally got a lot of money.Pan and Qin glanced at each other, and they could also participate in the business in Heishan Village, so they could earn more in the future.Deserving to get rich.

Jia Rong glanced at the silent Manager Lai Sheng beside him, and said, "This time, I have to trouble Manager Lai to go. If you finish this matter, you will have Steward Shi teach your two sons to live in the mansion." Take care of some things. Although there are some bad people in the Lai family, the Ningguo government still trusts your Lai family."

Lai Sheng smiled wryly and replied, "Thank you, sir, for your kindness."

Jia Rong said: "You don't have to think too much, even though your brother is in the village, life will not be too hard. After all, Nanny Lai has served the elders of the Rongguo Mansion for a generation, and she will keep her face no matter what. Our Jia family It is good, and it is grateful.”

When Lai Sheng heard about it, he immediately knelt down to Uncle Rong.He kowtowed and said: "My mother is getting old, and my elder brother is in the village again, and now the old servant has to go to Heishan Village again. I beg the uncle to give the old lady a peaceful old age for the sake of the Lai family's service for the two houses."

"Okay, get up." Jia Rong raised her eyebrows and said, "You told your daughter-in-law to go to Rongguo more in front of Heishan Village, and to accompany Nanny Lai occasionally, and no one in the two mansions would say much What."

"Thank you, sir."

"You don't have to thank me in a hurry. This time I went to Heishan Village with a mission." Jia Rong glanced at the three of them generously, and said, "In addition to the business of medicinal materials and mink fur, there is also the establishment of a cement kiln factory. Shipbuilding and other things are also extremely important. I still have one thing on my mind today, what you will do after you arrive in Heishan Village."

Jia Qin hurriedly said: "Brother Rong, just say it, we will definitely take care of it for Brother Rong."

"Don't be in a hurry to say such big things." Brother Rong whispered: "After you arrive at Heishan Village and finish the work at hand, you can go out and look for rock salt mines nearby."

"Brother Rong wants to make private salt?" Jia Fan asked in surprise.

"What are you thinking?" Jia Rong rolled his eyes, he would definitely not do such a thing as smuggling salt.Even if you want to make smuggled salt, you still go to the southeast coast. How could you choose a place like Heishan Village, where the weather is so cold.He just remembered that there was a huge potash mine somewhere north of Heilongjiang.

Anyway, Heishan Village happens to be there. If potash mines are found near Heishan Village, potash fertilizer can be separated.Isn't this more convenient than burning plant ash and human and animal manure?But also more efficient, greater output.

What Jia Rong was looking for was not halite, but potash halite.

He said: "You find the place first, and I'll tell you what's the use. Remember, you can find the best, and you don't have to think too much if you can't find it. The main task of you going to Heishan Village is to repair kilns and shipbuilding. The second is ginseng, Dealing in antler, mink fur, etc.”

"Forget it." Jia Fan laughed.

"Alright, there will often be letters sent to Heishan Village in the future, so you just do it."

No matter how his court develops, the cunning rabbit will also get the Three Caves, and the remote Heishan Village is an excellent stronghold.

Jia Rong finally felt at ease after ordering the affairs of Heishan Village.

The second day, the 23rd of the first month.At the end of the one-year vacation, Jia Rong went to the Yamen of the Water Conservancy Camp along the Qinghe River early.

"The days of misery have begun again."

Jia Rong smiled wryly.I want to wait for the next holiday, get the New Year's Eve at the end of the year, and there are more than 300 days left.

The days in the Water Conservancy Camp are quite normal.

Patrol the river every day, look at pictures, and ask farmers.

Visit the village every day, draw pictures, and measure land.

The original handsome face, walking in the fields every day, has long since become a rough man.For better work, Jia Rong often stayed overnight in the Yamen, and the nights when she returned to Ningguo Mansion became less and less.

"After all, there must be a servant by my side. A man who was so handsome in the past has turned into a savage who grew up in the mountains." Wang Xifeng said angrily.

In the past month, Jia Rong was very unhappy, but the two highnesses in the palace were extremely happy.

"Has the kiln been built?"

The little third master excitedly took one's hand.

Even if this person is a plump man with big ears, the third master doesn't care.The little third master said kindly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, thanks to your hard work. In the morning, I will go to Father Emperor to ask for credit for you."

The greasy fat man let out a shrill laugh. When he laughed, outsiders couldn't see his eyes at all.I just feel that there is a big mouth and a big nose on the big round face, and there is a slit on each side of the nose.

The obese man laughed sharply and thinly. "Serving Your Highness is our blessing."

The little third master held his big fat and round hands intimately, and said sincerely: "Without you, I don't know when this kiln will be built in this palace. With this kiln, the Tianwu kiln factory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the kiln factory of Ningguofu Contested. When every kiln is built, the entire Dayan will use the heavenly objects produced by our Ministry of Internal Affairs. Great work, great work."

The fat man smiled and said, "It's also thanks to His Highness's guidance, otherwise how could we people figure out a way so quickly."

"You can't thank me, you have to thank Brother Rong." The third master laughed. He pestered Jia Rong every day. Although he didn't directly ask about the cement, he learned a lot from side-by-side.He laughed and said, "If it wasn't for Brother Rong's kindness, how could we have made this progress. I don't know what expression Brother Rong will have when he knows that the kiln factory of our Ministry of Internal Affairs has been built."

"It will definitely surprise you." The fat man replied.

"Yes, I will definitely be surprised." The third master nodded.Secretly sighed, why Jia Rong didn't want to get close to me?If this secret recipe was sent to Ben Gong directly, why would it take so much effort.

Since you don't want to give it away, then I will take it for myself.

Today, the third master is in a good mood.Not only did I hear the good news, but I was rewarded by the Supreme Emperor when I went to the East Palace.After returning to the palace, Qiu Jiheng heard about His Royal Highness' news again.

"The countries of the South China Sea? He is only so promising."

"Who says it's not, no matter how much money you earn in the South China Sea, you won't be able to send it to Beijing." Qiu Jiheng laughed in agreement, and said, "However, His Royal Highness has not only been in frequent contact with the Lingnan industries recently, but also with the governor of the Southeast Navy. There is a correspondence."

The little third master curled his lips and said: "With the governor of the navy, can he still rebel? Or is he thinking of leading the navy to sweep the countries in the South China Sea?"

Qiu Jiheng didn't dare to answer this question.

The little third master continued: "It's good for this fool to be honest with Lingnan businessmen, and to contact the traffic navy to find his own death. We don't have to worry about him, let him have fun secretly first."

Qiu Jiheng said wretchedly: "Your Highness can report this news to the present and the Supreme Emperor, this way..."

"Stupid." The little third master glared at him, "How dare you come up with such a stupid idea? You and I both know that the idiot is connected with the Southeast Navy, can the father not know? Not only can we not play, let alone leak this As for the news, just pretend you don’t know anything.”

"Yes." Qiu Jiheng nodded again and again, "It's all up to His Highness."

Qiu Jiheng felt that he was the smartest, not only won the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince, but now he was also a close person in front of His Highness.According to the current situation, His Royal Highness must be the new emperor in the future.

Qiu Jiheng was extremely excited, as long as His Royal Highness fell, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have no more competitors, and the Qiu family could follow suit.

The little third master waved his hand at the rammed goods, and said lightly: "If you hear such news in the future, you don't need to report it again. Just stay with the big brother honestly, so that the big brother won't be suspicious."

Qiu Jiheng's smile froze on his face.

Wind blows.

Qiu Jiheng, who was sent out of the palace, felt that it was extremely cold today.

The next day, early morning.

Jia Rong was pushed awake.

"Get up quickly, sir. Grandpa has to go to the water conservancy farm to do business." Xiang Ling looked at the time, and was so anxious that she didn't even have time to put on her clothes, she kept pushing the sleeping Jia Rong.

"Business?" Brother Rong, who was in a daze, felt something in his hand and grabbed it out of curiosity.Well, it's Ping'er.He narrowed his eyes and looked at the one who pushed him, and the one who was sitting was Ling'er.

Uncle Rong murmured, "What are you doing for business? I've been tired for so many days, can't people take a break? I won't go on business today, I'll just do it privately in my room."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and took Xiangling down again.

"It's still early, go to sleep."

"Master..." Xiangling was burning with anxiety, but she was held by Uncle Rong, and she didn't dare to move.

Ping'er next to him also woke up just in time, lifted the quilt and looked down resentfully, this villain didn't know the severity.Seeing that Uncle Rong still wanted to continue to sleep peacefully, he hummed, "Ling'er got up and went to find clothes for Uncle Rong."

Uncle Rong was very reluctant to leave, he really didn't want to leave such a warm place.It is also good to indulge in it for a while, and experience the gentleness of the country more, and it is also beautiful in the heart.

Ping'er pinched his arm and said angrily: "Sister Ling'er will follow the uncle to live in the yamen. When can't you pretend to be, why do you want to delay this time?"

The feeling of being pinched by a woman's arm is absolutely uncomfortable.

From Uncle Rong's memory, it seems that every woman is born with such a trick, which can be pinched accurately and painfully.

Brother Rong's whole mind was awakened by this pinch.

He looked at Ping'er's expression, and joked, "I'm going to subdue me early in the morning. I'm also kind, I went to the Yamen today, and I don't know when I will come back to see Ping'er."

Ping'er noticed the abnormality of the uncle, and said vigilantly: "It's getting late. I have to go to grandma to serve the uncle when he wakes up."

If it is said that the most colorful woman in Uncle Rong's room, Ping'er must have a place.She and Xiangling are two typical examples, Ling'er is smart and delicate, and Ping'er is generous.Ping'er's majesty lies not only in her shapely and slender legs, but also in the square inch Lingtai.

The bedding is half covered.

Uncle Rong's mouth was parched.

He grabbed Ping'er's little hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you go later."
