Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 244 The Jia family is being targeted?
That day, early in the morning.

Baochai led Ying'er to Ningguo Mansion with a group of maids carrying some boxes. Xue Baochai saw Ping'er's strangeness at a glance.

"Why is sister Ping's mouth swollen?"

When Ping'er heard this, she shyly lifted the silk to cover her lips.Grandma Rong next to her looked normal, but Wang Xifeng snorted softly.However, Sister Feng had already trained Ping'er, so she didn't say much about this topic. She asked Baochai curiously, "Why did you bring so many things here? Could it be that there is still a great joy in the house today?"

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "The caravan from Jiangnan brought a lot of things this month, and there were a lot of private goods in the boudoir, so they sent them early in the morning."

Qin Keqing looked curiously at the boxes in the hands of the maids, but couldn't see anything.Smiling and sitting side by side with Baochai, he said, "My aunt is so worried about it. I just watched the battle and thought my aunt would move to our Ningguo Mansion to live here."

Xue Baochai laughed, and said with a little deep meaning: "You, the hosts, didn't even invite me, so I don't have the face to live in here."

Wang Xifeng glanced at Baochai, and said: "It's so good, how can you make fun of me. I'm just shameless, and I don't want to leave after I live in the east."

Grandma Rong chuckled lightly, and answered Wang Xifeng's words, "Is that what you said? Who in Ningguo Mansion doesn't want you to live here forever. Don't say that the other courtyard is being built in the west. It's better to live here."

"You can hear me." Wang Xifeng said with a cheerful smile, "It's not that I want to stay here, it's Grandma Rong who keeps me. , I will never move my butt."

"How can anyone talk about this thing all day long?"

"All of you have read books, I can't compare to you. I just talk about it, it's better than you who just keep biting your mouth."

The sound of bah, cursing, and laughter rang out together.

The maids serving beside her laughed, and Ping'er Juanzi covered her mouth and snickered.But accidentally caught sight of Sister Feng's eyes, and realized that the "biting" was not only talking about Baochai, but also about her.

With a swipe, Ping'er blushed.

His face was hot, and his lips were hot, numb and sore.Ping'er was suffering in her heart and couldn't tell, it was because she refused to let her go, it was obviously Uncle Rong who refused to let her go.Unexpectedly, it took quite a while for Uncle Rong to change his clothes and go to the yamen.

Xue Baochai only understood one of the meanings, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing you are still the grandma in the house. If the wives listen to it, they will look for you again."

"In this way, wouldn't it be more reason for me to live in the east."

Just as Wang Xifeng finished speaking, the room laughed again.

After laughing for a while, I finally got down to business.Xue Baochai first ordered all the little maids in the room to leave, and then called Que'er and Ying'er to watch outside.She just opened one of the boxes and took out a strange dress from it.

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "This is a strange thing, I have never seen it before."

Wang Xifeng has seen it before, not only has she seen it, but she has another set.Not only Wang Xifeng, but also Ping'er.It's just that Sister Feng didn't wear it after meeting Shenjing, and even Ping'er rarely wore it.

Sister Feng asked politely, "Is your tailor shop really open?"

"It took more than half a year to make these styles of clothes. I invited Aunt Xue's family to preside over them, and sent some to the houses close to me, and I also sent a lot to Shenjing. Several styles, various figures There are all styles." Xue Baochai replied with a smile.

She has already received a letter from the Xue family in Jinling, and the aunts contacted all the grandmas and sisters of the Fugui family, and the response was not bad.Although it was difficult to accept at first, after wearing it overnight, many grandmas went to Xue's house with happy faces the next day to ask if there were other styles.

These people also gave a lot of suggestions and needs.

Xue Baochai's clothing store is now accepting orders from Jinling.Now what is sent to Ningguo Mansion can only be regarded as a gift.At present, the biggest target group of clothing stores are the grandmas and aunts in the inner houses of wealthy families, followed by the young ladies and gentlemen in the fireworks alley in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xue Baochai called the people into the inner room and explained the benefits of the clothes.

All the women in the room were blushing, and Qin Keqing held two long and thin cotton fabrics in his hands, and asked, "What kind of thing are these? They are also worn on the body?"

"It's foot socks." Xue Baochai blushed when he thought of something, and replied, "It's on the legs."

Rui Zhu gestured with this pair on her body, and said in surprise, "It's too high, it's all up to her thighs, isn't this pants?"

"There are indeed trousers." Baochai laughed.

"what?"

Baochai smiled and said, "Everyone can try changing. In addition to these small clothes, Jiangnan also sent some one-piece dresses. They can be worn together with these things."

They all have status, how can they change clothes in front of others.

Unfortunately, Jia Rong was not there.

If he knew that Xue Baochai had brought so many good things, he would have laughed a few times, thinking about how to be happy in the next few nights.

Cheongsam, stockings, such beautiful things.

It's a pity that Uncle Rong doesn't know anything.

However, he doesn't need to be sad, he just sat in the carriage and lost his mind to the capital not long ago.

The carriage was driving on the official road, neither fast nor slow, and the rhythm was just right.

Jia Rong was worried that Xiang Ling was turned upside down, and he held Xiang Ling steadily.

Xiangling blushed and clutched the seat in the carriage tightly, and could occasionally hear the loud voices of passers-by on the official road in her ears.Of course, what she heard more was the faint and ethereal sound made by the carriage as it was driving.

Creak, creak, creak, creak.

The carriage shook, and there was a muffled sound of the wood on the carriage colliding with the wooden barrel.

"Grand...uncle." On the bumpy road, Xiangling's whispering voice was also intermittent.

The official road is not easy.

A road with frequent traffic of people and horses and horses must be uneven.The two wheels of the carriage were pressed against the depression of the official road, and they bumped when they deviated slightly.

The more bumpy it was, the more uncomfortable Xiangling felt.

Uncle Rong sighed, seeing that Xiangling's hands grabbing the stool were red, he kindly helped Xiangling up.Gently fiddled with the hem of Ling'er's skirt, hugged her, sat down, and whispered: "Grab the window sill behind the uncle."

Xiangling blushed and hummed, and sat down honestly.

Brother Rong prefers Xiangling in his heart.Obedient people have the benefits of being obedient.No matter how unreasonable, no matter how absurd, Xiangling would not refuse.She will only cater to, cater to all the uncle's requirements.Xiangling is such a person, a very obedient person.

He is also a person that Uncle Rong can't help feeling sorry for.

When she reached the edge of the Qinghe River, Xiang Ling fell limply in Uncle Rong's arms.

The carriage stopped in the backyard of the yamen.

Jia Rong tidied up her clothes, got out of the car first, and then called the boy at the back door to find someone to carry the sedan chair.

People were puzzled.

Uncle Rong took Xiangling off the sedan chair and explained to the lady who carried the sedan chair: "The official road is too difficult for her to bear the bumps. Be careful and carry it steadily."

"..." Xiangling's body was limp after sitting in the classroom, completely limp.He didn't want to move, and when he was carried into the back house by the mothers-in-law, it was also Grandpa Rong who carried him into the yard.

Xiangling blushed, just like a sleepy kitten, locked in Uncle Rong's arms.

Since then, Uncle Rong has gained a considerate person in the water conservancy farm.During the day, when he is in the Yamen or going out on business, and when he returns to the back house of the Yamen at night, Uncle Rong can also relieve the fatigue of the day.

Jia Rong's life is quite comfortable these days, and she goes back to Ningguo Mansion every twenty days or so.Later, Grandma Rong also arranged two little maids for Xiangling to take care of Xiangling and stay by her side to serve Uncle Rong.

This rotten day lasted until April.

"Who?" Jia Rong, who was drawing in the yamen, asked suspiciously.

"Good boy, you don't even recognize me." Duan Yu's face was full of resentment, and his tiger eyes were fixed on Jia Rong, as if he was about to swallow him alive.

Jia Rong pretended to be stupid and said: "Why is this man so dark and not shady, like a savage in the mountains. Do you know this man?"

"Well, you Jia Rong, don't you want to blackmail what you promised us back then?" Duan Yu was tall and burly, lifting Jia Rong's collar with one hand, and said through gritted teeth, "You left me in the south of the Yangtze River for nearly a year, why don't you recognize the original promise?" promise...hehe..."

"Isn't it Wanhualou?" Jia Rong laughed quickly, "I haven't seen Brother Yu for a few months, and he has become more powerful and majestic. When I finish my work in the yamen, I must invite Brother Yu to Wanhualou."

"Bah." Duan Yu scolded.Seeing many people beside him staring at him and laughing, their faces became darker.He said gloomyly: "You boy, can these words be said in front of everyone?"

Seeing the reaction of the people around, Jia Rong suddenly realized, and quickly said: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. Our General Yu is a gentleman, how could he go to a place like Wanhualou? There is no Wanhualou, there is no Wanhualou, there is no such thing .”

The more Brother Rong explained, the louder the people around him laughed.

Duan Yu wanted to scold her more and more.

Two ignorant people slipped out suddenly, and said with a smile: "Brother Rong also promised our brothers to go to Wanhualou, just arrange for our brothers to go there with Big Brother Yu."

"roll."

Duan Yu scolded.He changed the subject stiffly and asked, "How are you doing recently?"

Jia Rong said happily: "It was good, but seeing you today, it's not so good."

Brother Ji said: "Brother Rong, there is no need to be sad, we will leave Shenjing in two days, and I am afraid we will not see each other within a year."

"Oh? What's going on, I'm leaving after returning to Beijing."

Duan Yu pursed her lips and said proudly: "No, after these few days, if Brother Rong wants to see us again, he will have to wait for a year."

Jia Rong suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard recently, and asked, "Could it be that Zhungeer has changed again?"

Brother Ji said with a smile: "Brother Rong is still well informed. We will go to Monan Mongolia in a few days."

Jia Rong glanced at Duan Yu suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Are you leaving too?"

"That's natural. As the bodyguard of the Thirteenth Lord, we naturally have to accompany him."

"That's not right. I'm also the bodyguard of the Thirteenth Lord. Why hasn't anyone notified me?"

"Brother Rong is now a water conservancy farm envoy, and hundreds of thousands of hectares of land in the capital are still waiting, how can you go away." Duan Yu laughed loudly.

Brother Ji answered: "Brother Rong has more important things to do, so naturally you can't let Brother Rong go to Monan to take risks. Besides, Brother Rong is the only son of Ningguo Mansion, where can we go there?"

Jia Rong pondered. It seemed that Dayan and Zhungeer were really going to fight again.

Seeing his silence, Duan Yu thought he was unhappy.Comfortingly said: "Brother Rong, you don't need to think too much, there is no such thing as Shenjing in Monan."

"Yes, when our brothers come over with a few credits, the brothers will not forget Rong Rong to take care of them." Brother Ji laughed, with a little lewdness in his sword eyebrows and staring eyes, and asked: "Today Wanhua Lou, is there any share for us?"

"..."

Two whores.

"How could it be so sudden?"

"It wasn't sudden." Duan Yu asked for hot tea, and said politely: "The first stage of the Huaidong Water Diversion Canal has been successfully dug and built. Hongze Lake has been connected to the canal and can be discharged into the sea. Just widen it. The water reduction and water storage dams on the Huaihe River are also under construction. With the county magistrate from the same family, there should be no worries about floods in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Is it so fast?" Jia Rong was still in a trance.He stayed in the yamen every day, or stayed in the farms on both sides of the Qinghe River, but he didn't know anything about what happened outside.

Brother Ji said: "It's not too soon. The new canal in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River has just been built, and the whole project will not be fully completed in two years."

Jia Rong naturally understands that flood control in the south of the Yangtze River is a gradual process.Not to mention two years, after two years, there is still one year to repair.

Duan Yu said: "Brother Rong, you don't have to worry, even though we go out with Master Thirteen, no one in Shenjing will dare to bully you."

Jia Rong curled her lips, she was the Lord of Ningguo Mansion after all, and anyone who was full would bully her.Besides, the four princes and eight princes are not easy to provoke, let alone ordinary officials, as long as the four princes and eight princes group is not disbanded for a day, even the royal family will be a little afraid.

Brother Ji also said: "Brother Rong, don't worry, if we stay for a few days, we will completely deal with Tang Fufang, the governor of water transportation. At least one of them will be chopped off, and the others will have scruples."

"What do you mean?" Jia Rong squinted her eyes, looking at Duan Yu and Brother Ji in front of her.These two people came here not simply to reminisce about the old days, but for other things.

He laughed and said, "Could it be that our Jia family is still being targeted?"

"Brother Rong doesn't know?"

Jia Rong shook her head.

Brother Ji said: "Why didn't the Rongguo Mansion communicate with you about this?"

Rongguo Mansion?What the hell is wrong with Nima Rongguo Mansion again?

"There are rumors that the empress of your Jia family is very fond of the emperor and empress dowager in the palace, and even in the past two months, she has a lot of love for the virtuous concubine." Brother Ji is a child of the royal family, and knows a lot of news that outsiders can't hear.He said: "Originally this was considered a great happy event, but this time the Zhungeer change, King Zhongshun, King Beijing, and General Feng Tang were all transferred to Monan. Wang Ziteng is far away in the southwest border, your Jia family There is no one in the court who can speak."

This... King Zhongshun, King Beijing, and members of the Feng family are all going?Jia Rong guessed that the King of Beijing would go, and the Feng family would also arrange to go there, which was unexpected.These two families are gone, four kings and eight kilometers, and the weight of the other families in the court is too low.

Jia Rong looked at Brother Ji suspiciously and asked, "What rumor did you hear?"

Brother Ji sighed and said, "It's related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
