Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 312

Xiao Que'er sneered and said: "During the few years since I came to Xue's family, the relationship between their family has been cut off, and it's all entrusted to our two houses. Although the money is spent separately, I don't know outsiders that it is Jia's annexation." The Xue family, or the Xue family attached to the Jia family."

It was the first time for Brother Rong to hear such remarks. He knocked on Xiao Que'er's head angrily, and taught: "The Xue family has a small population. Although there are some houses in the capital, they are all in Nancheng. Back then, the Xue family Staying here is still the decision of Mr. Zheng. The relatives live together and take care of them, and they didn't take your money, so you want to criticize them?"

Little Que'er pouted from the pain, and complained to Grandma Rong: "Grandma, look at Uncle, Que'er talked about her thoughts, and she wants to kill me."

Uncle Rong threatened: "You have only been here for a long time. How can a good girl imitate their snobbish eyes? It is time to silence her."

Grandma Rong looked at Uncle Rong in a different way, and said with a smile: "Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. A good maid has learned to be snobby, but she is still being led astray by the people in the house. Don't blame Que'er, sir. Aunt Xue's wife is indeed abnormal."

After Jia Rong thought about it carefully for a while, she gave Xiao Que'er a light glance. It turned out that the little maid's outrageous words just now were instigated by Grandma Rong.He said with a smile: "Ke'er is a little bit overwhelmed. It's a good thing that Xue's family has come and gone frequently. Our two families still have business, so we should be close to each other."

Grandma Rong looked at Uncle Rong through the mirror, and said politely, "Aren't you close to the Xue family? It can be regarded as close."

"Cough...hehe...this...is more than intimate." Uncle Rong smiled shamelessly, and said again: "It's better not to care about the daughter-in-law's birthday."

Mrs. Qin agreed without saying anything, and asked Xiao Que'er to hurry up and dress up, change clothes and wait for the guests to arrive.

It wasn't long before the grandma and girls from the West Mansion didn't arrive, but a servant girl came in outside to report.

"The concubine of Beijing County has brought the gift list."

Uncle Rong and Grandma Rong showed surprise expressions in the room.Grandma Rong was startled for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "Did the empress bring the gift list? Or did you send someone to bring the gift list?"

There is a big difference between a gift slip and a gift slip.

It's not like Qin Keqing had a birthday, and even though Grandma Rong is the hostess of the Ningguo Mansion, her seniority is not high among her relatives.In terms of kinship, Grandma Rong has to call the princess of the county an aunt; not to mention other things, she is the princess of the county, and the Qin family is only a fourth-rank respectful person.

It has always been only the inferiors respect the superiors, and the juniors congratulate the seniors.

How to put it, on such an occasion, it is enough for Beijing Palace to send a small gift, and there is no need to come here in person.

The servant girl replied: "There is news from outside that the princess of the county will be here soon."

Grandma Rong immediately got up and said: "Go and invite your wife, and go to inform Baozhu, Ruizhu, Xiangling and others, change clothes and go to the door to greet you."

Qin Shi didn't forget to glance at her uncle after giving the order, and there was not much meaning in the eyes.

Brother Rong also came back to his senses, and hurriedly called Xiao Que'er to change his clothes.Although it is fine to treat family guests with the clothes on, it is impolite to treat distinguished guests.

Another burst of busyness.

The women's family members in Ningguo Mansion gathered in an instant, and they separated from Uncle Rong.On the one hand, the You family and the Qin family were the leaders to welcome the princess of the county, and on the other hand, the housekeeper of the mansion led by Uncle Rong made a gift list with the Beijing Prince's Mansion.

At the same time, the East Mansion also ran out a few servant girls to the West Mansion, and invited a few more wives to tell the news that the princess of the county had come.

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, glanced at the old lady in the room, and said with a smile: "Since the Dongfu is here again, the old ancestor might as well go to have fun. After all, the Qin family is the great-grandson wife of the old ancestor, and her appearance and personality are very outstanding. , Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is decent with you in the past."

After hearing this, the old lady agreed, and called the mandarin ducks over and ordered them to pick out a good gift.

On the other hand, Mrs. Xing was very unhappy when she heard this, and complained in a low voice with her mouth pursed: "How can an ancestor go to celebrate his grandson's birthday?"

Mrs. Xing complained and complained. After hearing that the old lady asked Yuanyang to pick out gifts, she also knew that Dongfu must go.Even if you don't want to, you have to choose a passable gift to give, so as to show the love of the elders.

It's just that the more Xing thinks about it, the more depressed he becomes. It's not a big deal to give a gift, but it's uncomfortable to see Dongfu become more and more powerful.

What annoyed her the most was when she heard that Jia Zheng wanted to ask Brother Rong to come to the Rongguo Mansion for foreign affairs. She was already upset because of this, and wanted to give a gift to Brother Rong's wife, so she was holding her breath. .

I can't help but blame Jia Zhenglai.

It's not that there are no masters in the Rongguo Mansion, Master Xi is still his brother, and Brother Lian is still his nephew.Why Jia Zheng can't trust them, and instead wants to explain to the grandchildren of the East Mansion.

The suspicion gradually expanded in Xing's heart, and he even blamed the old lady Jiamu.It's all the old lady who prefers the second son, and the huge family business doesn't give much to the eldest son, she is very partial.

The old lady also said at the right time: "You guys also go back and get ready, the lady came to show our family dignity."

After hearing this, Xing and Wang went back to the yard to change their clothes.

When the wives arrived, the princess of Beijing County was already chatting happily with the Qin family in the room, and Wang Xifeng was by her side.Everyone greeted each other, and Sister Feng even treated herself as a hostess and invited the old lady Jia Mu to take her seat first.

Xing looked at Wang Xifeng's enthusiastic appearance, and hid her resentment in her heart.

Mrs. Wang also looked at Mrs. Qin with complicated thoughts, and then at Mrs. Feng, the niece of Wang's family.Thinking about Brother Rong's deep trust of the political master, even the Beijing Palace is better than the East Mansion, plus the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Brother Rong.She didn't know what to think for a moment.

Just waiting for a few people to drink tea and chat, another maid came to report outside.

"Uncle and Mrs. Wang are here."

Mrs. Wang was in a daze for a while, thinking about which Wang family, which uncle and wife it was.Wang Xifeng laughed and talked to the old lady again, and Sister Feng went to meet her in person.Only then did Wang realize that it was Mrs. Wang Ziteng who had come.

An inexplicable annoyance arose in Wang's heart.What's the matter today, the princess of Beijing County came first, why even the brothers and sisters-in-law of the Wang family also came here.How can a junior make such a scene on his birthday.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang Ziteng arrived; after a while, the sisters of Daguanyuan and Xue's mother and daughter arrived.

For a while, Qin's room was full of people.

Not to mention that Wang and Xing didn't expect such a situation, even Qin, the eldest grandma of Dong Daorong, didn't expect it.I had to temporarily call my mother-in-law to invite a team outside, and invited guests to Huifang Garden to have fun.

It's just that before everyone got up, another servant girl came to pass the message outside.

"The Chen family of Duke Qi's mansion..."

"The Niu's house in Zhen Guogong's mansion..."

"The Feng family..."

Four kings and eight kilometers away, a few more families came over, and they were some familiar people.It's not because they look familiar, it's just that these people also came to the old lady's birthday party more than ten days ago, and they came again only ten days later.

Some came from the juniors of the Duke's Mansion, and some were gift lists from the stewards of the Duke's Mansion.The one who came from the Pianniu family was the wife of the first-class Uncle Niu Jizong, which shows how much the Niu family attaches importance to Ningguo Mansion.

They were all relatives, and the Ningguo Mansion was also lively for a while.

In the hustle and bustle, the guests were arranged to go to Huifang Garden from the backyard, and finally stopped for a moment.Other relatives came and went one after another, but Xing and Wang didn't notice anything.

When the troupe of Tianxianglou was on the shelf, after a few pushes, the old lady Jiamu ordered it first. While listening, someone came over again.

Xing frowned and looked, only to see a young woman in palace attire, leading several little palace ladies behind her.

Grandma Rong happily asked, "Why is aunt here?"

It turns out that this is the female official next to Concubine Zhongshun of the Zhongshun Palace.

The female officer Jiayi smiled and said: "Your Majesty knows your birthday today, so she asked me to bring a gift."

Ke Qing said: "Thank you for your kindness, my aunt, please take your seat."

"I came here with a mission, and I handed over the things to you, and I have to rush back to the palace to report." Jiayi waved her hands generously, with a faint smile on her face, and said, "I just met your nobleman on the way. Lord, if it wasn't for the order from the empress, he would have almost intercepted these good things."

Grandma Rong replied: "Uncle recklessly offended Auntie, Auntie should not blame her."

"This remark is too outlandish, who doesn't know the gentleman's temperament?" The female officer Jiayi said with a light smile: "Hurry up and lighten the things, these are all picked out by the empress from her dowry, and the empress also ordered Mo Let them be snatched by Lord Rong."

"This……"

"Hurry up and accept it, I am in a hurry to go back to the palace. Later, I will follow the empress into the palace."

Qin Keqing looked at what Jiayi had brought, and she was surprised and couldn't believe it.He looked at the female officer Jiayi suspiciously, nodded when seeing her, and just accepted it.

Mrs. Xing, who has been quietly paying attention to this side, saw her face was shocked, but she didn't even dare to feel envious.He just turned around complainingly, muttering a few unpleasant words in his mouth.

Besides Mrs. Xing watching, Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai were also watching.The two also saw it, and envy flashed across their faces.Although it is fleeting, Aunt Xue, who has been paying attention to Baochai's expression, catches it.

Aunt Xue sighed in her heart: the girl is caught in it.

Thinking sadly, what's the use of envy?The Qin family is the grandma of Rong who is marrying, and was recognized as a goddaughter by Princess Zhongshun.This kind of treatment is not available to ordinary people.

Few of the people upstairs were concentrating on listening to the play, and each had their own thoughts.

I'm afraid that only the old lady and the girls of the Jia family are careless and happy, but Baoyu is the most polite.Even Lin Daiyu couldn't bear to look at Baochai and Sister Feng in a daze.After checking everyone's expressions, Xiao Daiyu also glanced over there, only to see Mrs. Qin going downstairs to give someone away, and turned her head unhappy.

After the Qin family sent people downstairs and came back, there was more excitement upstairs.

After several plays, Daiyu also gradually felt that the play was boring, and she was in a daze.

On the other hand, other people feel that Ningguo Mansion is becoming more and more beautiful, and it is even no worse than Rongguo Mansion.In particular, the Xing family is not at the core of the Rongguo Mansion, let alone the taste.

During lunch time, Brother Rong, Jia Lian, Xue Pan and several family members also came over and had a banquet in another room of Tianxiang Building.

Xue Pan asked with a smile: "Brother Rong, what arrangements do you have today?"

Jia Rong replied, "Uncle Pan has calculations?"

Xue Pan giggled, "Mid-Autumn is the perfect time to appreciate the moon. Later in the evening, the old lady will invite my mother and the wives and grandmas of the two families to have fun in the Grand View Garden. We can also find a place to watch the moon."

Jia Lian glanced at Xue Pan and knew what this guy was up to.Gently said: "Where is the convenience? It must be at night to appreciate the moon. Don't you come back at night?"

Xue Pan said: "It doesn't matter. Let's find another courtyard in the back street, and invite a few girls to come over and look at the beauty under the moon... Hehe, second brother understands."

The people at the same table looked at Xue Pan with disdain, but Xue Pan was not affected by their eyes.He did not forget to say: "Everyone is going to go today, all the money for the wine is on our head, and I don't want you to contribute."

"Really?" Someone immediately withdrew their contemptuous look and asked joyfully.

"Cough cough..."

These guys... Brother Rong smiled wryly, there was only a wall across, and he wasn't afraid that the people inside would listen.Even if you are sanctimonious, you should maintain your dignity outside.

Brother Rong replied, "I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you today."

After hearing what Brother Rong said, Jia Lian also hesitated a little.If Jia Rong doesn't go, it's not easy for him to go either.They were invited to the Grand View Garden dinner today, and they either didn't go, or they all went.

Xue Pan pulled Brother Rong and said: "We have been back for a long time, and we haven't gone out together yet. Brother Rong can't satisfy me with this?"

Don't talk about how close our relationship is.Brother Rong raised his eyebrows, Xue Pan has nothing to say, as long as he goes out tonight.People in Ming'er Mansion will definitely know the situation.

It's not that he doesn't dare, it's just that women are hard to coax.Women outside are not as beautiful as women at home.

Jia Lian grinned and said, "Baoyu has been bored at home for a long time. You might as well ask Baoyu to come over. He must be delighted to yearn for it."

"..."

Brother Rong didn't care how they calculated, he just ate with his head covered.

After the luncheon was over, Brother Rong hadn't greeted them yet.Xue Pan mysteriously recruited Baoyu to leave, and when he was about to enter the Grand View Garden, he heard the servant girl say that Baoyu had left the mansion with Xue Pan.

This kid is quite bold, isn't he afraid that Jia Zheng will lose his temper now?

Fortunately, the female relatives went to the Grand View Garden to play, and Brother Rong and Jia Lian waited for the night banquet to go there.The guests in Huifang Garden of Ningguo Mansion also left, Brother Rong also came down to find a place to take a nap.

"Why didn't Aunt Lin go into the garden to play together?" Brother Rong looked at Lin Daiyu suspiciously, this little girl had a very unkind expression.

Lin Daiyu snorted: "They are making fun of them, so I won't join in."

"Oh? It's good." Brother Rong said softly, and found that there really wasn't much to say between him and Lin Daiyu.Only thinking that Lin Daiyu hadn't left, she asked, "Where is Aunt Lin going?"

Thinking about where Lin Daiyu is going, I don't go there myself, it's better to separate.

Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth, and replied flatly, "Go to Yixia Pavilion to pack things."

Brother Rong's face was filled with joy, this girl has finally opened up?Stop staring at yourself?Free yourself?Happy, inexplicably happy.Being stared at by someone like Daiyu is actually very stressful.

Brother Rong felt that he couldn't hold on, so it was better for someone else to subdue Daiyu.

He smiled and asked, "What are they? I'll call a few maidservants to help."

Lin Daiyu looked at the smile on Brother Rong's face...

His expression became more and more distorted.

Really pissed off.
