Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 276
Let's say that Li Wan led Suyun to Conglutang and left. Brother Rong took a rest and looked at the four poems "Yonggui Tang Yinlin Cave" written by Jia Jing on the wall, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a smile.

Although no one is around, his leisure and elegance also come from the top.Light the smoker in the room, and the smoke slowly rises.I searched for pen and ink again and spread it on the case.Move the fire over and follow the poems on the wall.

Jia Rong read carefully: "What's the busy time in the Qing Dynasty... Kaopan Youjian... I have worked hard all my life... Side seats... It's not easy to hear the words."

Take a pen and copy all four poems.Comparing the handwriting, it is [-]% similar to the book signed by Jia Gongjin on the wall.

Change the pen again and mention the word "Jia Gongjin".

"The word respectful and sincere is quite similar, but it's still not enough." Brother Rong said to himself, "It takes more practice."

I copied it a few more times, and felt that the imitation was more similar, so I stopped.Open the window and look, but the moon is already in the sky.The front yard of Cong Lv Tang was deserted, and the two clusters of bamboo cast the same shadow under the dim moonlight.

Seen from this side, there is no difference between the bamboo shadows in the darkness.

Brother Rong was in a daze for a while, and then he looked down at the countless papers he had copied scattered on the ground.Find a copper basin and burn everything written tonight in the basin.It was as if he had done nothing tonight.

A few more days.

Jia Xiaoshen from Ning Rong's Back Street came to look for her mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "A little while ago, something happened in Nancheng. The concubine raised by His Majesty the Palace in the other courtyard of Nancheng was attacked and killed."

"Is there anything worth inquiring about?" Brother Rong said with a light smile.

Jia Xiao sighed and said: "That woman is also a powerful person, and many opponents on the other side were able to escape. Hearing that the person's whereabouts are unknown now, it caused the two highnesses in the palace to turn against each other, thinking that it was the little third master who did it. "

Brother Rong frowned slightly, and glanced at Jia Xiao.He said politely: "As the prince of the court, how could the little third master harm a little female concubine? They have turned against each other, presumably there was a change in the court, so they found such an excuse."

"My lord is wise." Jia Xiao laughed and said, "Two days ago, the various travels in the south of the Five Ridges sent a lot of Nanyang and Western rare artifacts into the palace, which won the favor of the two saints. Take care of the tributes and congratulations from various countries.”

"The Wang family has also taken care of the tribute and congratulations from various countries in the past. It is indeed a lucrative job. But... Your Highness thinks that the third master will be jealous because of this? You must have looked down on that guy too much."

"My lord underestimated this errand. Now the Lingnan Thirteen Lines are the only choice for Nanyang and Xiyang to do business in Dayan. Not only that, the ocean ships in Lingnan and southeastern provinces are all under the control of His Royal Highness. In this way, Lingnan The Thirteen Banks are comparable to the merchants in Shanxi in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. One more tribute errand will be even more popular than the Crown Prince."

No, it is a tribute in name, but it is actually overseas economic and trade.If it was the past, it would have been fine for overseas countries to come to the DPRK; now that the southern two oceans are powerful, the impact behind the tribute will be different.

Brother Rong curled his lips and said, "It's all about money, and has no serious rights. It's not someone to be envious of."

Jia Xiao whispered: "His Royal Highness, in the name of paying tribute, has already contacted the envoys of Dabazhou and Li Chaoguo."

Good guy, this guy is really eyeing Beiliao's business.Li Chaoguo and Dabazhou have always been the business scope of Shanxi Huangshang, His Royal Highness is grabbing the business of the third master.

"In this case, it's barely reasonable." Brother Rong said dumbfounded.Taking another look at Jia Xiao, he said flatly, "The girl raised by His Highness in Nancheng, as long as she doesn't die for a day, she will be a disaster."

Jia Xiao said helplessly: "Although the woman is very powerful, she can't escape. I heard from the grandfather of the Chen family who patrolled the yamen at Jiumen, that when the Jiumen police chased her, this woman had already been escorted away."

"Where are you from?"

"I don't know, it should not be from His Highness. Otherwise, His Highness would not be in a hurry to find her."

"Oh." Uncle Rong replied lightly, "I see, is there anything else? If there is nothing else, you can go to the clean room to ask the grandfather to say hello."

Jia Xiao said again: "There is news from the Qin Tianjian that there may be heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River in the near future."

Jia Rong's complexion changed slightly, she nodded and said, "Okay, you can go to the clean room."

He sighed again: "These people are really full. It's the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River. How could there be no rain?"

When Jia Xiao left, Brother Rong was still uneasy, always feeling that something big was about to happen.Frowning tightly and thinking for a long time, she asked the servant girl to write three letters and send them to Ping'an Prefecture, Xuyi County, and Jinling respectively.

The news of the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River has not yet been heard, but the news of the Qin family came first.

Qin Ye died of illness.

The filial son Qin Zhong was young, so Brother Rong, who was the son-in-law of the Qin family, went to host.After a few more busy days, the Jiangnan Express came to Beijing at this time.

"The rain lasted for more than [-] days in the first ten days of summer and May. The heavy rain lasted for seven days and nights on the ninth day of June, and it never stopped..."

"On the ninth day of June, there was a heavy storm, and the Yi River overflowed, flooding the fields and huts..."

Emperor Xian De looked at the news from the place, his face was like a stone carving, his eyes were like fire.The high officials in the hall were talking and making noise.What these people are talking about is that Jiangnan, Shandong and other places will suffer a lot of disasters due to this heavy rain.

"Your Majesty, please summon Jia Rong, the envoy of water conservancy and farmland, to the palace. If the wind and rain are unstoppable..."

…………

Xuyi County.

Duan Lang stood by the Huai River, looked at the surging river, smiled wryly, and said: "The world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that there was a flood last year, and this year, there will be a heavy rain that occurs once in a hundred years."

"My lord, you haven't rested for several nights, you'd better go back to the yamen to rest."

Duan Lang glanced at the servant beside him, shook his head, and asked, "Have the people in the low-lying areas along the river moved?"

"According to your lord's plan, everything has been transferred."

"That's good." Duan Lang watched the heavy rain hit the river surface, with countless waves floating on it.He asked again: "Does the Hedao Yamen have any instructions?"

"Many places are flooded, and the governor of the river has gone to Lema Lake to command. The rain on Lema Lake is much stronger than ours here."

"..."

Ningguo Mansion, Huifang Garden.

"Unstoppable?"

Uncle Rong pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Third lady still has the heart to pay attention to Jiangnan, why don't you care about yourself. Now His Royal Highness in the palace is looking for you, the Holy Church is looking for you, and the group of mysterious people are also looking for you." you."

Xianmei sneered and said, "Your Excellency is the best method. Everyone in the world has been deceived by you. Sir, isn't he afraid that the sudden heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River will make all his hard work go to waste?"

"Not afraid." Uncle Rong replied with a chuckle, but clenched his fists unconsciously.Then he said with a playful smile: "It's time for the third lady to change her dressing again, oh...why are you looking at me like this? I don't have any evil intentions, I just want to change your dressing for you. I'm worried about you, otherwise you will have a child in the future, and so on." Seeing that when the little guy wants to drink milk, can't he be so frightened that he loses his appetite?"

"you……"

"Forget about you, me and me. There are no outsiders here. There are even many special designs to prevent some people with excellent hearing from hearing the sound."

"What exactly does Sir Alex want?" Li Xianmei gritted her teeth and asked.

"Actually, it's nothing." Uncle Rong said with a chuckle, "I am the most sympathetic, seeing a beauty like Miss Xianmei suffering, of course I have to help myself. Look, your front is bleeding again, alas... If What should I do if it is rotten? Could it be that you want to flatten the back and arch it at the same time?"

Li Xianmei was extremely ashamed, gritted her teeth and grabbed the clothes with one hand, panting: "Even if I die, I won't let you touch it."

Brother Rong was taken aback, and asked: "Could it be that Miss Xianmei thinks who took care of you during the past few days when you were unconscious? Who wiped your body, and who treated your wound?"

"You..." The extremely weak Li Xianmei was so ashamed that she couldn't speak, and fainted again in a fit of anger.

When Brother Rong saw this, he couldn't help curling his lips and called two maids from outside.Said: "Change her dressing, and when she wakes up, go to the front yard and let me know."

What a joker.Jia Rong ordered people to watch Li Xianmei closely before she came out of the room.

Sighing secretly, I don't know what Jiangnan is like now.

I hope that the heavy rain this time is not so strong, otherwise...if the construction of the Huanghuai River and Hongze Lake fails to stop the flood, Baiguan will have even more reason to ban cement.

There are a lot of jealous people.

However, he was also curious. He heard rumors that some officials in the court suggested that he be summoned for questioning, but there was no movement in the palace.Not to mention the South Study Room and the Hall of Mental Cultivation, at least the East Palace should ask me to answer the question.

There has been no movement, but I have no bottom in my heart.

After thinking about it, I didn't think about it for a while.However, thinking that even Jia Jing didn't look for him, he was a little relieved.

After all, if it is really a big crisis, it is Jia Jing who is the first to worry.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter.Turning his head to look, he saw another two charming girls arguing in the garden.Look at their clothes, they are not maids in the mansion.

When he was puzzled, he only heard the voice of an old woman nearby.

"Second sister, third sister, see Uncle Rong soon."

Second sister, third sister?
Jia Rong hadn't reacted yet, she was startled when she saw the two girls frolicking over there, turned her head to look at Brother Rong, and then hurriedly looked for a place to hide.

He even looked towards the old lady Sheng Sheng, but it was Old Lady You whom he had seen several times.He hurriedly called out: "I was thinking about going the wrong way for a while, old lady, don't take offense."

Mrs. You smiled and said: "The whole Ningguo Mansion belongs to the uncle, so it is the uncle who went the wrong way. These two sisters have never seen the world, and they are shy when they meet relatives. It is better for the uncle not to take offense."

As the old lady spoke, she called out Second Sister You and Third Sister You to come over.

Brother Rong looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do.Although the Second Sister You and the Third Sister You are the younger sisters of Mrs. You Shi, they can also be regarded as his little aunts.But how many layers of relationship are separated, the second sister and the third sister are also waiting to be married, so how can they meet each other.

Old lady Pianyou was extremely enthusiastic, and despite the shame of Second Sister You and Third Sister You, she pulled the two girls over.

This feeling, like...

She looks like the salesman Jia Rong saw in her previous life, and she also looks a bit like the enthusiastic old bustard in KTV.
