Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 307 Cucumber
"What are you thinking again?" Li Wan recalled that day when he got drunk and lost his mind, he actually took the initiative to lean over to eat, which made Brother Rong very proud.He hummed and said, "I'm going back. Brother Rong has to come to Daoxiang Village if he cares about the progress of agricultural books."

Jia Rong also felt bitter.It wasn't that he didn't want to go to Daoxiang Village, but that he was afraid of entering the Grand View Garden.The maids in Baoyu's room also moved around a lot. One day when they bumped into her on the road and were sent to Yihong Courtyard, Jia Baoyu had to catch up and beg him to do ridiculous things with the maids?

Sometimes, men face beauty without asking.Ruanrou Township is a tomb of heroes, and Brother Rong also clearly recognizes that he has become a hero, so he is even more afraid now.

He hastened to grab the judge, and said in a good way: "My elder brother who is married as an adult always runs into the big garden, which is not plausible. There are also aunts from the Shi family, the Lin family, and the Xue family living there, and so many maids. , nuns, actors, and even the aunts in the mansion are very old, after all, it is not suitable for them to go often."

Li Wan politely said: "The wives don't know what's going on with the Xue family and the Lin family. Don't you know about the one I live in the garden? Those two girls often go to Yixia Pavilion to accompany Feng girl."

Brother Rong said with a smile: "It should be because their sisters are close. I think Aunt Lian lives alone in Huifang Garden, and I worry that she will be idle."

Li Wan didn't believe it.She didn't know about Lin Daiyu's situation.At least she saw Xue Baochai with her own eyes, and she still looked naked, which made her have a tiring dream for half a year.

She was about to go back, but she also remembered that the maids of the West Mansion often ran to Daoxiang Village with their things recently, and their enthusiasm was really frightening.It would be bad if the maids of the West Mansion ran into the two Zhenghuan by accident.

I had to reluctantly reply: "Anyway, whether they are close sisters or not has nothing to do with me. Brother Rong doesn't want to go to Daoxiang Village, so I can't help it. I don't ask you, whether love comes or not."

Rong Geer took the hand of the palace judge, and said softly: "This is a bit hurtful, so I don't want to go. I'm just worried about ruining the reputation of the palace judge, and I'm afraid that if I go to the harem, I will be in a dilemma between the two houses."

Speaking of these things, Li Wan was also disturbed and troubled.At the moment, I don't reply to Brother Rong's words anymore, while watching the fish in the stream at ease, while letting go of my thoughts and thinking about it.

Brother Rong said in a soft voice: "It is always inconvenient to enter the big garden in the west, and the Ningguo Mansion is also spacious. You can find a lot of places to compile agricultural books, not to mention the many vacant rooms in Tianxiang Building, and The big study in the front yard, the side study in Conglvtang, and the Ningxi Pavilion by the northeast stream. Everywhere can be used as a place to compile and read books.”

Li Wan glanced at him quietly.If it is a serious book compilation, it can be done anywhere as long as it is quiet.But most importantly, she still wanted Tong Rong to stay in private.Regardless of whether you are looking for happiness or not, even if it is just two people reading and compiling books together, you have to find a satisfactory secluded place.

"The big study in the front courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, how can you entertain guests occasionally. Isn't Cong Lvtang the retreat place in your mansion for Princess Beijing? When the princess comes, wouldn't I occupy the magpie's nest?" .Ningxixuan and Tianxianglou are even more banquet places, and I don't want to go either."

Brother Rong thought about it, Ningxixuan is mostly a place for men to push cards and drink, it is really not good.Tianxiang Building is feasible, but... He suddenly observed that Li Wan's face was not angry, and he suddenly remembered that Li Wan once said that he liked Cong Lvtang.

He laughed softly and said, "It's not that Cong Lutang has been put under someone's name. The princess of the county can live in it, and the magistrate can even live in it. Besides, the princess of the county rarely comes here once in a month or two. When the concubine of the county comes, I will allocate some rooms for them to retreat."

Li Wan sullenly thought about it in private.Daoxiang Village can't be visited recently, otherwise I wouldn't often go to Dongfu to avoid disaster.Tianxiang Tower is also close to Yixia Pavilion, so one day you will meet Feng girl, and you will inevitably have a bad mood.

After all the calculations, Cong Lvtang is the one who suits him best.

"I still don't know what Cong Lvtang has changed after being lived in by the princess of the county." Li Wan said sourly.

Brother Rong's eyes suddenly brightened, and he smiled and said, "Why don't I take the court official over there to have a look, and take a good look at the room, so I can rest in Conglvtang when I'm tired on weekdays."

Li Wan was a little moved.But under Brother Rong's hot eyes, he shyly said: "Yesterday I was late reading and forgot to wash my body. Let's go to Cong Lv Tang tomorrow instead."

Brother Rong raised his eyebrows, this girl doesn't like to be clean.In this weather, it’s fine if you don’t take a shower, and you don’t even wipe it.But these grandmas stay in a quiet place every day, and can eat ice to cool off when it's hot, so they don't sweat or get dirty.

He pouted and whispered: "Later, I will ask Xiao Que'er to fetch water for the judge, and I will help the judge to clean his whole body."

Li Wan looked at him differently, and said with a shy smile, "But Brother Rong said it himself."

"Not only say it in person, but also act in person."

"..."

Xiao Que'er listened to the two chatting, but her face became more and more unkind.All these years, she had never done such a rough thing in Grandma Rong's room. Instead, it was the uncle who had to fetch water by himself for Grandma Zhu's sake.

Quietly glanced at the pair of dogs and men, and looked at the maid Suyun next to her, thinking to herself how this hoof should be the one doing the work.

Uncle Rong and Grandma Zhu were still counting in Huifang Garden, but a few old women in Daoxiang Village walked outside the door.

One person asked: "Miss, do you know when Grandma will be back?"

Biyue replied: "The time is uncertain, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly, and I will report it when grandma comes back."

The women shook their heads hurriedly, picked up a big watermelon from the basket and presented it.He smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, I just thought about the dry weather recently, so I specially picked some melons to pay my respects."

Biyue replied: "Grandma also misses you when you send melons every two days. It's a pity that grandma is not in the room because of her busy work these days, and the people in our courtyard can't eat so much. It's better not to be so good when you come over in the future." .”

Another woman just turned around from the foot of the mountain, also carrying a basket.Seeing the situation outside Daoxiang Village, he rushed forward with a basket of melons, and said with a cheerful smile, "It's all a little wish from our servant, girl, let's take it for grandma first."

Seeing this group of people, Bi Yue was really powerless to refuse, so she had no choice but to accept them.

But I never thought that these women who just went to Daoxiang Village to deliver melons would go to Qiushuangzhai with their baskets.

After Tanchun listened, no one left the room.He just cursed with a cold face: "I'm afraid they sent it to the wrong person."

The maid waited for the book and replied: "The little maids outside are also dismissing, but these women are as smart as ghosts, and the maids are no match for them. It is difficult to deal with one, let alone a group."

"group?"

"Isn't that right. I saw one or two before going over, and before I dismissed them, a few more women came behind. They all carried things in their hands, and their enthusiastic looks might scare people to death."

Tanchun was surprised and asked: "Did they give melons to all the maids, or just us here?"

Waiting for the book to reply: "I heard the women making noise in private. It seems that some of them have just come from Grandma Zhu. It seems that Grandma Zhu is not in the yard again today, so everyone squeezed out of our door."

Tanchun said: "I've never seen them flattering like this before, what happened recently?"

Waiting for the book to reply with a smile: "The girl can't even remember this? Earlier, Yu Chuan'er's sister died, and there was still a big servant girl in the wife's room. The girls of these wives are all in the wife's room now. Working as a girl in the house, I plan to earn a share of one tael of silver per month."

Tanchun was even annoyed when he heard this, and scolded: "The idea is all on me. I can't talk too much about who is the big maid and who is the little maid in the wife's room. Let people drive them all out and block them from the outside." What kind of words."

Waiting for the book said: "Don't be angry, girl, I have already asked the maids to persuade them to leave these women. You don't have to treat them coldly. When these people lose power, they are as docile as cats and dogs who have been hungry for a few days. Where will they wait?" When the sky got the power, they took advantage of the relationship and became domineering again."

"There has never been a slave who can be arrogant and domineering in front of his master. They study their own, even if they become popular with their wives, it's okay for those who are domineering in front of me to give her a slap in the face."

Tanchun said something angrily, and didn't ask any more questions, just let the maids send the women away.

Let's say that after Grandma Zhu entered Cong Lvtang, she looked like a different person when she came out again.I don't know if it's the twilight light shining on her face, or it's just as it should be.

At this moment, her face looked as if she had been drunk, and although she looked clean again, her steps seemed to be a little unsteady after being drunk.

Grandma Zhu was supported by Suyun, and she did not forget to order: "Bring someone to tidy up the room tomorrow, and bring some books from the study room in Daoxiang Village."

Suyun asked one by one, "will you live here in the future?"

Grandma Zhu glanced at her, and snorted, "You prodigal son didn't get what you wanted today, so you are unwilling? I will give you a chance in the future. If you don't go back to Daoxiang Village at night, wouldn't it be as outrageous as Feng girl."

Suyun replied in a low voice: "What I'm thinking about is that Grandma Ming'er will help the Shijia girl to plan a banquet. I'm afraid I won't have time to come to Ningguo Mansion."

Li Wan's legs were a little weak, and he forgot about it.He said politely: "Tomorrow, you can bring two little maids to clean up. The garden will be lively in the next two days. It is necessary to invite the old lady and the others, and it is inconvenient to run here. Take your time, don't rush this moment."

One master and one servant were chatting, and when they returned to Daoxiang Village, the sky had already turned blue.The afterglow of the setting sun shone slightly, and I could barely see the rice paddies in front of me bent over by the rice ears.

Li Wan calculated: "It's time to harvest these days, don't forget about it, remember to remind me to call Rong Rong over to watch the ceremony before harvesting."

Suyun smiled and said: "I'll save you, I've kept it all in mind."

After the two of them entered the room, Biyue came back to talk and told one by one about the melon gift from the mother-in-law today.Li Wan sighed quietly, these women are also difficult to deal with.He frowned and said: "When I come back later, I will just say that there are too many melons and fruits in the yard to be harvested."

Bi Yue asked: "If these women talk about the request, how should the slaves respond?"

Li Wan said: "Although your grandma is in charge of the affairs of the inner house and the garden, she can't interfere with the wife. If she can pick up these things, others dislike them, so she has no ability. If she can't help, she just can't help. Just Tell them, sending them here is better than sending them to Yixia Pavilion."

Suyun said with a smile: "They are like ghosts, probably they have already made up their minds to go to Yixia Pavilion to pay tribute and flatter them. It's just that Yixia Pavilion is in Ningguo Mansion, and they brought things there, and they must be given to Grandma Zhen and Xiaorong. Grandma also offered it together. It will make them feel bad."

Li Wan said: "One tael of silver per month, how can they feel sorry for this melon money?"

Suyun laughed again: "Grandma doesn't know the reputation of Second Mistress in the house, and those women often scold her behind her back. Now seeing that Second Mistress is not doing anything, I feel very happy. How can she send her to her door?" Are you happy?"

Bi Yue followed suit and said, "That's not true. I've also heard a few times that those women said in private that no matter how many things they send, they may not be able to please Lian's Second Mistress. I sent things one by one, in case Lian Er Grandma didn't want to help, and all her thoughts were wasted."

Li Wan said coldly: "If she doesn't want to, I will?"

Suyun laughed and said, "Who doesn't know that our grandma is the most kind-hearted?"

Li Wan waved his hand and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

In the next two days, Grandma Zhu did not go to Ningguo Mansion again, but was dragged by a group of girls in the garden to participate in their poetry club activities.

Brother Rong has also heard about it, and it turned out to be some kind of crab feast.Even Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing, Xiangling and others were invited, but he, Uncle Rong, would have no part at all.

Wang Xifeng came back from drinking, seeing him like this, asked Ping'er to wash a cucumber.

"Today I haven't eaten crabs, and I haven't finished drinking wine. Try this. Grandma Liu brought it from the countryside."

Brother Rong took the cucumber and looked it over, it's not too big or too small...

He asked, "Why is the thorn on it gone? It must not have been used by you."

Wang Xifeng was at a loss to understand what it meant, and curled her lips and said: "The heart brought by the old man through hard work is very fresh, how could he be fooled like this."

Brother Rong still didn't dare to eat it, and asked with a single tendon, "Why are the thorns on the cucumber gone?"

Ping'er replied: "I was afraid of hurting my uncle's hands, so I washed them carefully."

After listening to Ping'er's explanation, Brother Rong was relieved a little, and carefully examined whether Wang Xifeng's appearance was telling lies.He once bowed his head and already felt extremely humiliated. Although he could still consider it a boudoir pleasure, he would be really depressed if he ate the used melon.

"It's never been used?" Brother Rong asked again, seeing Wang Xifeng's impatient expression, he took it into his mouth just now.After chewing it twice, Wang Xifeng's face gradually darkened.

Uncle Rong suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, a moment later, Sister Feng leaned forward and grabbed Uncle Rong's ear with one hand.He sneered and said, "What do you mean by using it?"

"Oh my goodness...good Feng'er let go. Your man's ears are going to be ripped off."

"Say it or not."

"This..." How to say this thing.Brother Rong took a look, seeing Wang Xifeng's ruddy face after drinking, and seeing her arrogant expression, felt even more itchy in his heart.

How could a shrew be so alluring.
