Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 248 Helping Sister Feng

In the next few days, people in Shenjing were talking about the scenery of Ningrong and Rongfu.

"I used to think that Ning Rong and the two great government houses would decline from now on, but I didn't expect that the glory is even more prosperous now than before."

"Brother Tai's words are wrong. In the past, when the Second Duke Ning Rong was alive, that was the real glory. It's only the last 20 years. It's a bit worse. These two years have only restored a little of the former glory."

"This brother knows about Ningrong and Rongfu?"

"How can you not understand that our father-in-law is the steward of the Rongguo Mansion." The man who looked like a businessman laughed, "In the past, the Ningrong and Rongfu mansions supervised the building of ships and repaired seawalls in Yangzhou, Gusu. The old sage lived when he went to Jiangnan. This is the Jia family. At that time, there were two princes from one family, and there were princes and princes who came and went, and it was even more lively than these days."

"Then why did the Jia family move to Shenjing to fight against Xiao Shu?"

"The virtue of a gentleman will be cut for the fifth generation. How can the words handed down by the ancestors be forgotten? The Jia family is such a wealthy family, and it is difficult to escape this law. On that day, Duke Ning and Duke Rong were brothers and sisters of the same mother. One. Duke Ning was the eldest and had four sons. After the death of Duke Ning, Jia Daihua took over the government and raised two sons: the long name was Jia Fu, and he died when he was eight or nine years old. Zi Jia Jing attacked the official."

Leng Zixing sighed with emotion, and then said: "Then Jia Jing only loves burning alchemy and refining mercury, and doesn't care about the rest. Fortunately, he left behind a son in his early years, named Jia Zhen, because his father wanted to be a god, Let him attack the official. Jia Zhen gave birth to another son, Jia Rong, who is now the successor of the Ningguo Mansion. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have been blessed in the mansion in the past, and they have the potential to bring Ningguo Mansion down."

Someone interjected: "No, we heard that Jia Ronglai was mentioned, but he was a practical man. He not only served as a noble but also served as an official. I heard that when he was last year, he also made a big deal in the south of the Yangtze River. How could it be that? Prodigal."

Another person said: "Brother must be from another province."

"How to say?"

"Anyone who has stayed in Shenjing for two or three years probably knows that Jia Rong suddenly seems to be a different person after getting married. There are rumors in the village that he is the reincarnation of King Maitreya."

"Really or not, what else?"

"Who knows the truth, people pass it on like that." The man laughed, and looked at Leng Zixing again. "Brother Zixing should know more inside information than us."

Leng Zixing said: "There has been such a commotion in the two mansions. It is said that Jia Rong was enlightened by the old Ningguo Ergong when he was newly married, and he brought a method of making gods from the sky. This kind of theory of ghosts and gods is true. Whether it is true or not, outsiders will not know. On the contrary, Jia Rong has indeed changed his temper. Now the kiln factory built by his family made a profit of nearly ten thousand taels last year, and this year it will double or three times. Not only that, Jia Rong herself is also deeply trusted by Prince Zhongshun, not only presided over the water control in the south of the Yangtze River, but now she is a fourth-rank water conservancy envoy."

"It's really a strange thing."

"That's right, who would have expected that Xiao Shu's Duke Ning's mansion would have such a person who would completely reverse the trend of decline."

"That's not right. The bustle of the past few days sounds like it belongs to the Rongguo Mansion."

Leng Zixing said: "It's true to say so, but it has a lot to do with Jia Rong. The two families are from the same family, and they said that the lady who returned to Rongguo Mansion to visit relatives two days ago deliberately left Jia Rong alone to meet and chat privately. It's been nearly half an hour. Concubine Jia even said that the Rongguo Mansion would like to thank Jia Rong, if it weren't for Jia Rong's achievements in the court, the empress might not be favored in the palace."

"Where does this come from?" The listener was puzzled, and hurriedly dragged Leng Zixing to ask for an explanation.

Leng Zixing laughed and said, "Why don't you understand this truth? If the concubines in the palace are not powerful, their status in the palace will not be high. Jia Rong first made great achievements in Yangzhou, and then controlled the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Now he is in charge of the camp. Every piece of work is a real achievement, how can one not like such a Jia family nowadays, if there is any kindness, naturally it will be bestowed on Concubine Jia first."

Someone said: "There is some truth to it. Thinking about the great general who made illustrious military exploits when he reached the throne in the past and now, only her sister is the most favored today. I didn't expect that the imperial concubine died of illness in just two or three years, and the great general also died of illness." He was dismissed from office and confiscated and ordered to commit suicide."

The listeners were startled, and all looked flustered.

Leng Zixing quickly changed the subject and said, "It's not appropriate to say this, let's continue talking about the Jia family. This Jia family is not just Jia Rong, there is also a strange son in the Rongguo Mansion..."

In the past few days, the Ningrong and Rongfu were really lively.

First Wang Xifeng gave birth, then Jia Zheng's birthday, and then Yuanchun visits relatives.In just a few days, the threshold of Rongguo Mansion was trampled down by the guests who came to congratulate him.

Jia Rong looked at the girls in the courtyard and laughed, "Why do you come here in these busy days? The female guests from all the houses don't entertain, are you afraid of the ancestors' blame?"

Tanchun said: "There are no female customers, but there are a few familiar ones, and the others have snobbish eyes, so it doesn't mean much to stay in the West Mansion."

Jia Rong wondered: "Didn't your mother allow the aunts to live in another courtyard? Could it be that there are still people bothering you in the Grand View Garden?"

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "They just moved into the garden, who would have thought that something would happen in just two days."

"What's the matter?" Jia Rong asked.

Seeing that Tanchun was unwilling to speak, Xue Baochai said slowly: "In the past few days, we have been visiting relatives and entertaining guests. People from the house and other courtyards come and go, and things are lost somehow. Brother Rong also knows , the other courtyard has moved in a lot of new guests, a total of 200 nuns, actors, and maidservants. As the saying goes, there are many people, and the more people gather, the more they gather, I don’t know how to guess Brother Huan’s head.”

It turns out that Jia Huan is Tanchun's younger brother, and now people regard the third hand as Jia Huan, so Tanchun is naturally unhappy.

Brother Rong said: "Although Uncle Huan flirted with you at a young age, he wouldn't do such a thing. It's because of a misunderstanding."

Xue Baochai said: "It's not too valuable. Sister-in-law Zhu only ordered the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of each court to investigate secretly. After two days, there was no result. My aunt heard the rumors and punished Brother Huan to copy the scriptures anyway. I didn't think about it. There is another incident, and the West Mansion is not peaceful again."

Things in Jia Zhengyuan are always so weird.

Jia Huan was fined if no evidence was found.Jia Rong didn't need to wait for Xue Baochai to tell the rest, he could guess that Aunt Zhao must be causing trouble.Aunt Zhao is Tanchun's biological mother, and Mrs. Wang is Tanchun's aunt. She can only be out of sight and out of mind, so she ran to Dongfu to seek refuge.

This Jia Huan is also unlucky, no matter what his nature is, with a biological mother like Aunt Zhao and a aunt like Mrs. Wang, life in Xifu is not easy.

These days, Wang Xifeng has passed the seven-day observation period for giving birth.Now I can see people, but Qing kept Tanchun and Baochai in Dongfu for supper.

Jia Rong sneaked away to Wang Xifeng's place.

"Where is that child? Let me see you today." Brother Rong came over excitedly, he really didn't like the customs of this world.Why are newborn children not allowed to see people? It has been a few days.

He hasn't even looked at his own child's face.

The last time Qin Keqing gave birth was like this, and this time Wang Xifeng gave birth like this again.If it weren't for the maids who often guarded the children, he even suspected that these children were secretly dropped by the nanny without knowing.Isn't that how the civet cat was replaced by the prince in the script?

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at him faintly, and said: "I just sent him back to the West Mansion today, if you want to see it, go back to the West Mansion to see it yourself."

Jia Rong curled her lips and said, "To put it lightly, without your grandma's order, how could I see it?"

Wang Xifeng said: "You know how to care about the children, and you don't care about me? Suffering such a serious crime, you can't even see the slightest sincerity."

"You have to rely on your conscience to say this. Which of the ones that are placed in the room are not hand-picked by me?"

"They're all foreign things, things that can be bought with money, which is rare." Wang Xifeng said disdainfully, "Can I be short of this little money?"

Jia Rong rolled her eyes again and again, what did this girl want to say?He said: "Although the cement kiln factory made money last year, it's not time to distribute the profits now. Although Brother Qiang and Brother Yun shared the money, it is only what they deserve. Our money has to be used later. production calculations."

Wang Xifeng snorted and said, "Which one is talking about money. You help your grandma Rong squeeze things every night, and I am also in pain now, so you won't help squeeze it?"

It turned out to be this.

Brother Rong's expression became troubled.If it was for other matters, he would be more than happy to oblige.After all, he was willing to do anything that could relieve Wang Xifeng's pain.But now Tanchun and the others are all in the yard next door, they don't know when they will come over, if the squeezed things are spilled on the table, case, or the ground, it will be embarrassing for them to come and see.

Besides, Wang Xifeng's body still has to rest now, if this girl wants to touch his hand, she probably won't be able to let it go easily.

Brother Rong said: "I'm afraid of you. After the first month, I will come back to help Feng'er myself."

Seeing his embarrassing expression, Wang Xifeng was overjoyed, and said: "Treat me like a mother worm, can I still eat you?"

Brother Rong said with a smile: "I really want to taste what the big worm tastes like, but you are so weak, and you are so beautiful, I'm afraid I can't help it."

Sister Feng poohed and cursed, "Get out of here quickly."

Jia Rong couldn't see her child, and she planned in her heart to let Wang Xifeng call the nanny and brother over one day, so that she could take a good look at and hug the little guy.So, at this moment, he refused to leave.

After a lot of hard work, he even freed up his hands to solve the problem of swelling and pain for Wang Xifeng himself.

Sister Feng reluctantly agreed.

He left Wang Xifeng's courtyard, and when he returned to Qin Keqing's courtyard, Tanchun and Baochai's two daughters had already returned to the Grand View Garden.The guy turned around and walked towards the wing where the eldest brother was.

Now the mothers and ladies of the palace have all returned to Zhongshun Palace.There is only one nanny and a few little maids, who can stop him from watching his own son fail?
"What about people?"

Jia Rong pushed open the door of the wing room, and saw that it was empty inside.

The nanny is gone, all the little maids are gone, even the big brother...

Are there still child abductees in Ningguo Mansion?

Jia Rong's brows and eyes twitched, and her blood rose.Shout, "Where did the person go?"

Little Que'er appeared out of nowhere, looked at the old man pouted, and replied, "Brother was taken to the wife's yard by the nanny."

"Why did you take it there?" Jia Rong was very puzzled.

Xiao Que'er pouted and said, "It's not that every time the uncle comes back, he hugs the elder brother to be intimate for a while. Seeing that grandma can't control it, the nanny dare not stop her, so the grandma has to ask the nanny to take the elder brother to live in the wife's yard first."

"What's the problem with being a father's intimate child?" Jia Rong snorted indignantly, and walked out of the wing with angry steps.I saw Qin Keqing leading Xiangling, Ruizhu and Baozhu to occupy the door of the main room.The anger in his heart disappeared immediately, and he put on a smiling face and said: "Why is the daughter-in-law out of the room, Ling'er quickly help grandma go back to the room to rest, the uncle has something to go out."

Qin Keqing looked at the uncle amusedly, she didn't know what Uncle Rong was up to.After all, they are husband and wife who often communicate with each other, knowing each other's depths and ins and outs.

Ke Qing said: "It's night, it's not convenient for the uncle to go to the wife's courtyard now, let's go there another day."

The smile on Jia Rong's face faltered, and she reacted instantly, and said with a dry smile: "Daughter-in-law is thinking too much, I'm not looking for my wife, I suddenly remembered something and had to go out."

"Oh? Really?" Qin Keqing would not believe his nonsense.She knew best that when Uncle Rong lied, it was as clear as when coaxing someone into bed, his eyes were wide open, and there was a seemingly sincere smile on the corner of his mouth.

This is a look that wants to convince others to believe.Ke Qing didn't expose it, and said with a smile: "Master, you should come back earlier, it's getting late, don't go the wrong way at night."

"No, no." Uncle Rong laughed twice, he only thought that what Keqing said was going the wrong way, because he was afraid that he would go to someone else's room in the middle of the night.He smiled and said, "I'll borrow the little Que'er beside you to go there together. If there is a Que'er lighting a lantern, you won't go the wrong way."

Little Que'er also said: "Grandma, don't worry, Que'er will carry the lantern to light up the uncle's feet."

"..."

Jia Rong pretended to lead Que'er away, and made a detour to Ning Yitang, before quickly walking across You's courtyard in the east.

After Jia Rong took over the title, she rarely came here to pay her respects, but only now did she realize that the You's courtyard is more deserted than before.There is also a reason that some of Jia Zhen's concubines took a sum of money and left the mansion, and the remaining two quiet ones rarely came to You's.

So much so that in Grandma You's yard, apart from the maid Yindie, there are only Wan'er, Chaodou'er and others waiting in front of her on weekdays.

Wan'er and Chaodou'er were young, and when they saw Uncle Rong coming over at night, they were taken aback for a moment before opening the curtain for Uncle Rong.

In the room, You Shi and the nanny were holding their eldest brother and having fun, when they heard Uncle Xiao Rong come over, their expressions suddenly became strange.

You Shi laughed and said: "Today is strange. Usually I haven't seen you for a few months to say hello, but today I returned home at night. It really is my own baby brother. Are you afraid that I will kidnap him?"

The nanny said anxiously: "What should I do? Should I take my elder brother to hide?"

You Shi glanced at the nanny, and said angrily: "It's nothing, Rong'er is just a father, so he cares so much. He has come to my yard now, so he should let him see the child. Don't let him see it, right?" The only way is to prevent Rong'er from being too pampered."

The nanny is also bitter, she has never seen such a master.

Seeing Jia Rong rushing over, and seeing Uncle Rong's eyes fixed on the eldest brother in his wife's arms, the nanny felt even more bitter.

You Shi glared at Brother Rong and said, "A man doesn't even have the slightest rules just to look after his children."
