Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 298 Daoxiang Village Responds to Li Wan

Shaking a fan is indeed a tedious and hard job, and Rong, who was already sleepy, was shaking it, and somehow fell into a dream.

It was Princess Zhongshun who was still on the imperial concubine's bed feeling unwell, and suddenly woke up to see this bastard fell asleep while standing.The concubine concubine snorted, she wanted to kick him, but seeing his haggard face, she couldn't bear to do so.

The concubine called Jiayi to come in with a soft hum, and then asked Jia Rong if she was busy with other duties.

Jiayi whispered back: "The Thirteenth Lord ordered the Lord to write a book, but I have not heard about other matters. I only know that Sun Heting, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, sat in the Ningguo Mansion for half a day two days ago, and then the Lord entered the palace to plead guilty. .”

The concubine glanced at Brother Rong. Since the official duties are not complicated, there is only one explanation.He secretly cursed at the bastard, and kicked him away.

Brother Rong suddenly woke up, seeing the anger in the eyes of the empress, and said with a sneer: "What is the order of the empress?"

"Nothing, I didn't sleep last night, my legs feel a little uncomfortable."

Ok?
Brother Rong looked at the empress suspiciously, seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake.He also learned from the female officer Jiayi that the prince had a serious illness last night, so he believed it after hearing it.

Hehe replied: "Your Majesty, rest more to ensure your health."

"All the people in the world are the same as you?" Princess Zhongshun propped herself up on the imperial concubine's couch, and said angrily, "Yesterday I was worried about the affairs of the mansion all night, and at the end I heard that you were unruly in the palace. No one can worry about it." .”

Brother Rong scratched his head.The princess was worried all night, but she was worried all night.Everyone didn't sleep all night, and they were all tired and sleepy, but in fact it was pretty much the same.

Princess Zhongshun saw that he didn't take it seriously, and snorted again: "Don't rely on your past achievements to think that the emperor is reluctant to touch you, and don't think that the emperor has to look up to you because you are taught by immortals. The palace doesn't want to touch you right now. , because I think you still have value to use, and besides, this time is not yet the time to make a big move."

"Forehead……"

Jia Rong naturally knew that what Wang Fei's mother said was right, so she didn't refute, but said with a shy smile: "Miss Lao, worry about it."

"When I want to control you?" Princess Zhongshun said politely, "Master Shisan told me to watch you carefully when he left Beijing, and not to let you cause trouble. Why don't you compile agricultural books in the mansion and mix those things to do it?" very?"

"..." Jia Rong thought to herself that the Jia family had their own difficulties. If they don't do anything right now, it will be different when they are held accountable by the emperor in the future.

Concubine Zhongshun felt even more annoyed when she saw that Brother Rong only responded with that, but didn't reply for a long time.Seeing the tired look on his face again, he snorted: "Do more business in the house on weekdays, and less obsessed with gentleness. Stay away from those aunts and aunts in your family, and when you break your body, you still want Ke'er to suffer along with you? "

Jia Rong's complexion finally changed, and he said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, you have misjudged us. I am very serious, and I am dedicated to serving the public. Even if I am in the government, it is the same as being in the Yamen. I will never be dragged down by the slightest personal affair."

"I don't know the situation in your mansion." The concubine sneered, "Ke'er is all about protecting you and thinking about you, otherwise I would have gone to your mansion long ago and chased away all those who have no names and titles. You Just behave yourself, how long will the Thirteenth Lord protect you? It's still waiting for you to do a few practical things for the people."

Jia Rong was startled suddenly, and hurriedly asked: "But the prince sent a letter from Moxi?"

The concubine concubine glanced at Jiayi indifferently, and saw the female official exit the room gracefully, and then closed the door behind her.

The empress said softly: "It's a letter. The situation in the northwest is more serious than expected. Zhungeer has a Western weapon, and it is difficult to retreat for a while. The prince has an old illness and can only return to Beijing early."

Jia Rong remained silent.The climate in the northwest is harsh, and most people in the Central Plains used to be dissatisfied with the weather.Coupled with backward weapons, although they have manpower advantages, they are not easy to fight.

The empress said: "The Thirteenth Lord mentioned you in his letter, and asked you to cultivate the fields well, and was in a hurry to read the agricultural books. Who would have thought that you would spend all day and night in the mansion, forgetting all your business affairs."

"What a shame." Jia Rong called out loudly, "I'm so busy with my work that I just thought about how tired my wife was working as a housekeeper yesterday, which made my spirit a little depressed today."

Concubine Zhongshun didn't believe his nonsense, she said coldly: "Really? I have to call Ke'er to the mansion tomorrow to ask, she is too ignorant as a grandmother, is she going to hurt the men at home?"

amount……

The topic is a little sensitive.Brother Rong thought to himself: How can I lose money, it's just that I don't have enough sleep, just rest for half a day.

Seeing the empress sneered again, she begged embarrassingly: "The empress is kind, why should I ask Ke'er? She is sensitive, and she has to think about it for a few days when the empress asks her a question. The boy will be more careful in the future, and spend more time on it. It's business."

The coldness on the face of the empress did not disappear, and she snorted: "Can you keep your mind on your own? Ke'er is very obedient. In my opinion, let Jiayi go to your house to guard, and see where you are every day Spend the night. Anyway, you and her are old acquaintances, and you can even communicate with each other on the way to the mansion."

Brother Rong was taken aback for a moment, and now he finally understood the reason for the empress's anger today.

It turned out that Concubine Zhongshun realized early in the morning that she asked the female official Jiayi to inquire, and was seen by the concubine with a tired face. It can be said that she was very angry and dissatisfied.No wonder the empress has changed her past today and left herself alone for so long.

Alas... it hurt the female officer Jiayi.

Brother Rong thought quietly.He replied again: "Miss is Ke'er's mother, and also the boy's mother-in-law and wife. How dare the boy lie to the empress? Miss Jiayi has been with the empress for many years, and the empress is used to it. The girl takes care of the empress. It’s also easier to come than other maids.”

"Hey?" Princess Zhongshun sat up from the couch, and said strangely: "You can speak nicely to her."

Brother Rong looked at the empress and guessed that her legs were numb from leaning on the cool couch, and wanted to please her, so she knelt down to help her, and said, "Son, tell the truth."

"Irreverent, presumptuous."

Hearing Princess Zhongshun's voice suddenly, Brother Rong was a little taken aback.He stopped in the air with both hands swinging his fists, so he should come over. This is Princess Zhongshun, not Wang Xifeng.Why can't I help but knock her legs.

Brother Rong rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty didn't sleep last night, and today you have been sitting for a long time, and now your meridians in your legs don't hurt. The boy is dredging your meridians and activating blood circulation for your Majesty."

Concubine Zhongshun paused for a moment, looked at Brother Rong's sincere face, and said with a sigh of relief: "I know you're kind, I don't need it today. You should go back and rest earlier, don't let the Thirteenth Master down."

Hearing this, Jia Rong wanted to escape from here immediately.However, he still got up and said: "Your Majesty also likes to rest. Although Ke'er is only Your Majesty's goddaughter, Ke'er is always concerned about your Majesty's well-being."

"She has a heart."

After hearing what Princess Zhongshun said, Jia Rong pretended to salute, and the female official Jiayi led her out of the palace garden.Thanks again to Jiayi, before turning back to Ningguo Mansion.

But I was feeling in my heart: It was so risky, I almost made a big mistake.

In fact, I really have no other crooked thoughts, just thinking about things, and for a moment I forgot that this is a feudal society where men and women are protected.It doesn't matter if you beat your legs or press your feet, really.

Brother Rong went back to the mansion and was finally able to rest for a while.After a good night's sleep, it was already a late afternoon when I woke up.

After hearing the maid's talk, he knew that two maids from the Grand View Garden had come to look for them, but they were all pushed away by Grandma Rong.

"Which two are they from?"

"At noon, Miss Qiuwen from Yihong Court came. In the afternoon, Miss Biyue from Daoxiang Village came."

Baoyu and Li Wan?
Brother Rong really couldn't think of anything for a while, what did these two people do to him.

"Did you say it was because of something?" Jia Rong didn't want to go there at an ordinary hour.Especially the trivial things with Baoyu in Yihong Courtyard, if you can't hide, why would you want to take care of them.

The servant girl replied: "Miss Qiuwen didn't make it clear, but only said that Second Master Bao invited the uncle to go to Yihong Courtyard. Miss Biyue did say that Grandma Zhu helped the uncle when he encountered something he didn't understand when compiling the book. Grandpa went over to give instructions."

"Eh... this is really important, why don't you wake me up?"

How could the servant girl come back? She also obeyed Grandma Rong's orders and didn't let others come and disturb her.She even omitted that Mrs. You in the backyard had also come to look for her, but Mrs. You was blocked by Grandma Rong.

Of course, even if it was about Mrs. You, Brother Rong would at most ask casually, and he would definitely not care about it.

Matters about relatives are usually first decided by the housekeepers such as wives and grandmas in the family. If the wives and grandmas cannot make up their minds, it will be passed on to Brother Rong.

Otherwise, Brother Rong, who has many relatives in the big Jia family, would be annoyed to death by these things every day.

Jia Rong changed her clothes under the service of the maid, thinking about the urgent matter of the agricultural book, and hurried to Daoxiang Village in the Grand View Garden.After entering the big garden, I was afraid of meeting people in Baoyu's room on the other side of Yihong courtyard, so I went around the side instead of going to the side of Yihong courtyard.

When he was approaching Daoxiang Village, he turned around in the bosom of the mountain, Brother Rong looked faintly at the low wall built with yellow mud, and the top of the wall was covered with rice stalks.

There are hundreds of apricot blossoms, like fire and steaming clouds.There are several huts inside.Outside, there are mulberry, elm, hibiscus, zhe, and other young trees of various colors, which follow the twists and turns to weave two green fences.Under the hillside outside the fence, there is an earthen well, beside which there is a genus of orange potter's wheel.The following plots are divided into acres, and the best vegetable flowers are endless.

During this period, there were several paddy fields, and the ears of rice just came out, which was a piece of green.

Through the paddy field, finally outside the farmhouse.

A servant girl called out: "Master Xiao Rong is here?"

There are not many maids in Li Wan's room, and the only ones he can name are Suyun and Biyue.He didn't know any of the other little maids who were working.He just nodded and asked Grandma Zhu where she was busy.

In the well-renovated farmhouse, a maid walked out to greet her first, and it was Biyue.She laughed and said, "I just said that I'm afraid Uncle Xiao Rong won't come over today, but it just so happens that he will come. Grandma is going to the west to accompany the old lady for a dinner."

It's really not a coincidence that this time came, Brother Rong also felt that his stomach was rumbling, and he didn't eat anything after sleeping today.He said: "Since my aunt is going to the west to accompany the banquet, I will come back tomorrow."

Bi Yue laughed and said, "Since Master Xiao Rong is here, it's inconvenient for us to go there. It's just an ordinary dinner, and it's enough to have the wives to accompany you. Grandma is already waiting at the house when Grandpa heard that Master Xiao Rong is coming, hurry up Come in."

Jia Rong took a closer look at this farmhouse surrounded by mountains and rivers, but it is also unique.He couldn't help but think of Wang Xifeng's words, this grandma Zhu is really the richest grandma in the two houses.

Although the farmhouse is not as grand as other places, the fruits and vegetables and a large rice field alone are not as good as other people's flattery.

Brother Rong laughed, followed Biyue past, and asked, "You guys are also taking care of the vegetable fields outside?"

Biyue replied: "We don't take care of it well, it's the women in the garden who take care of it. Grandma used to worry about it occasionally, but recently grandma is busy looking after the rice fields, and she doesn't care about the vegetable fields anymore."

Brother Rong let out an oh and looked back.The more than one acre of Rouge Yumi Tian outside is indeed well taken care of, obviously with care.

Bi Yue led the way, "Master Xiao Rong, this way."

He followed the servant girl through the farm houses in front, only to see a large courtyard behind.After two more turns, he walked to a room in the forest.Bi Yue said: "Master Xiao Rong, let's go in, Grandma is reading a book inside, so I won't bother you here."

Brother Rong entered the door and looked at Grandma Zhu Li Wan who was sitting by the desk. She seemed to be obsessed with the book in her hand as if she didn't hear the sound.Brother Rong called softly: "Auntie?"

He just watched Li Wan's back froze, but he didn't see her turn back.Jia Rong didn't care either, and looked at the study casually.Apparently, this room hadn't been tidied up for a long time. Although the location was secluded, it wasn't suitable for a place to put books.

There are not many books in the room, except for "Biography of Lie Nu", "Xiao Jing Ji Zhu" and "Nv Ze" written by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Empress Sun, etc., most of them are ancient and modern poetry collections, and there are some agricultural books with new covers, etc. .

Li Wan's long case is like Cong Lvtang's study room, with the case next to the long window.Outside the window here is a slope at the foot of the mountain, which is full of bamboo.There are also one or two big-leaved maple trees in the bamboo grove. Before Jia Rong entered the house, she saw that the maple trees covered the sky and covered the house completely under the shade.

With his cautious temperament, such a room is really not easy to use as a study.Firstly, the forest at the foot of the mountain is humid, and secondly, there are huge maple trees on the roof.

In case of a lightning strike one day, the fallen tree trunk must smash the house.

In the past two years, Jia Rong has been quite afraid of thunder.

Brother Rong approached behind Li Wan, only looking at her holding a pen in one hand and a book in the other.The book in his hand should be given to Li Wan by him, and there is also a book open on the table, Li Wan seems to be copying it.

He just watched without making a sound.Li Wan was also staring at the book in his hand, but the ink in his hand was stained with the long case.Brother Rong also noticed that one side of Grandma Zhu's ear was actually red, and it tended to become more and more red, even spreading to her delicate white neck.

In this way, he still doesn't understand.I'm afraid Grandma Zhu is also a drunkard today.He laughed and teased, "Where is the court judge puzzled?"

Li Wan coughed lightly, then turned around in surprise as if hearing Brother Rong's voice, and said, "Brother Rong is here?"

"Come here for a while."

"..." Li Gongcai didn't seem to be listening, his face moved a little, and he held a book together and said, "Look here..."
