Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 332
Not to live up to expectations is really not to live up to expectations.

Uncle Rong has had a lot of restraint over the years, but he has even more habits of never restraining himself.

Habits die hard.At least when it comes to dealing with beauty, Uncle Rong has never learned to restrain himself.Ningrong and Rongfu didn't give him a chance to restrain himself.However, on this day, he still left Yihong Courtyard without doing anything.

"Why are you summoned to the palace at this time?" Uncle Rong couldn't figure it out. After winter, the temperature dropped sharply, and even the days became much shorter.

At this moment, the sky is already hazy, and it is estimated that it will be night after arriving at the palace.

Mr. Shi Zhou, Chief of Zhongshun Prince's House, replied: "It's all because of the agricultural book presented by the Lord. In the past few days, the Thirteenth Lord has summoned many agricultural officials and peasants into the mansion, as well as many court officials. I don't know how many days later. Why, after the thirteenth Lord was overjoyed, he suddenly became seriously ill. After finally waking up, the first thing he said was to send an order to call the Lord into the mansion."

Is it that serious?

Brother Rong's mind tightened, it shouldn't be so serious.Although he also knew that the cold winter every year was a catastrophe for the sick, but King Zhongshun should only do so.I also met two days earlier, and it seemed to be getting better at that time.

Brother Rong asked, "What else did Master Thirteen say?"

Zhou Changshi replied: "My lord, there is no need to worry about it. The thirteenth lord is going to ask for credit for his lord."

Please credit?

Yes, there are some agricultural officials in the Water Conservancy Camp and Field Mansion who are really capable, especially the agricultural envoy of the Holy Church.Who would have thought that a rebellious party thief was half an agricultural major?Moreover, as far as Uncle Rong knew, the peasant envoy was originally a general from Jilongshan, not a peasant at all.

It's fucking weird.

However, Uncle Rong himself did not spare much effort. For the agricultural book, he not only wrote most of his previous experience in the countryside, but also racked his brains to recall some agricultural production manuals and technical manuals issued by the local government when he was a child.

Walking this way in a hurry, he entered Prince Zhongshun's mansion before it was dark.Coming back this time, Brother Rong's movements are different from before, his footsteps are lighter, his voice is more elegant, and there is no irregularity at all.

Even Prince Zhongshun, who was lying down, couldn't help joking, saying: "Looking at your careful and disciplined appearance, it makes people feel uncomfortable. This will remind you of your unscrupulous and unruly behavior in previous years."

Brother Rong quibbled and replied: "The boy always behaves in front of the Thirteenth Lord."

"Is there?" King Zhongshun asked, but he didn't care. He dismissed the others and said, "This time you did a good job. Whether it's the agricultural book or the harvest of the fields in the camp, most people will be convinced when they know it. You go up." For the second request, this king will write a letter to ask for the emperor's order, and Dayan's paddy fields will be handed over to you."

"What did Master Thirteen say?"

"The farmer will go down to build the provincial and county yingtian yamen." The Thirteenth Master coughed and said, "You can think clearly, if this matter is decided. In the next few years, you will gradually leave the guard's office, and you may even have to pay for it." I often leave Beijing, and it is difficult to transfer to the Six Departments within a few years."

Brother Rong fell silent.This is indeed a difficult question to decide. The Water Conservancy and Land Management Office is a new institution established by Emperor Xiande, and Prince Zhongshun is the prime minister.Yingtian Mansion is neither under the jurisdiction of the local government nor subordinate to the Six Ministries, so it is a difficult problem to raise the value of officials.

Originally serving as a guard, if he didn't care about the Yingtian Mansion, he would be able to serve as an official of the Six Departments in the future, and he could even be transferred to the Forbidden Palace.

Which is more beneficial?
Brother Rong thought for a moment, then replied: "I just want to do more for the common people, and do a few practical things for Dayan. There is a lot of food, Dayan is rich, and the people's families are prosperous. This is what I want wholeheartedly, and I don't care about the rank. Grade, don’t care whether you can walk in front of the palace or a department of the prime minister.”

There is a lot of food, the big swallows are rich, and the people have more food.These are naturally what Brother Rong wants to see, but he is more inclined to selfish considerations.

With the achievements of Dayan's rations, as long as there is no rebellion, even a political crisis such as standing in the wrong team can save his life.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he will stand in line, but with this level, he can avoid the trouble of being forced to stand in line.

This is what Brother Rong and Uncle Rong are looking for. He spends a lot of time compiling agricultural books, optimizing planting techniques, and searching for potassium salts, etc., in order to create a life-saving talisman that truly belongs to him.

No matter how chaotic and turbulent the future will be.The food problem is an eternal problem. As long as Uncle Rong can solve part of the food problem, he will have a life-saving talisman.A more useful and effective life saver than anything else.

After hearing his reply, King Zhongshun finally showed a gratified smile.

"All dynasties have been based on farming. Brother Rong is indeed smart and has chosen a good path. When Prince Teng, the ruler of the nine provinces, entered the palace two days ago, he intended to transfer you to the Beijing camp. Brother Rong has chosen water conservancy and farmland. Mansion, this king can also send a letter to enter the palace to ask the emperor to reject the prince's thoughts."

Ok?What's the meaning.

Wang Ziteng wants to transfer himself to the Beijing camp?

Good thing, great thing.

Being able to lead troops in the Beijing camp is better than playing mud with a group of people every day.Shit ideals, get the hell out of here.Which man does not have a dream of leading soldiers?How many men have imagined imitating the champion Hou Fenglangjuxu.

Uncle Rong's heart suddenly became hot, but seeing the smile on King Zhongshun's face, he realized that he had been teased by Lord Thirteen.

He said with a dry smile, "Master Thirteen, don't make fun of the boy."

King Zhongshun laughed and said: "Wang Ziteng really has such an idea. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he also has a hint. However, this king really doesn't want to see you enter the Beijing camp. The Beijing camp may not be comparable to the Yingtian mansion. This king also understands." Your mind is always thinking of reappearing the glory of your ancestors. This moment, and that moment. If the light is too much, it will be the end."

Brother Rong looked at the prince's smile, and always felt that this smile was extraordinarily complicated and contained extraordinarily many meanings.

For a while, I just stared at Thirteenth Master's smile, but forgot what to say in reply.

I heard King Zhongshun continue to say: "People in the world always like to recall the past, and they always care about the glory of their ancestors. Even if they are looking for their roots, they still have to find an ancestor who was enshrined in the king and worshiped him, but they forgot the ordinary and extraordinary ancestors from generation to generation in the millennium. Live well , choose the direction that suits you best. Don’t plant more hidden dangers because of the momentary glory.”

Is Thirteenth Lord really implying something?Brother Rong could hear vaguely, half understanding.If you talk about the words of the Thirteenth Master, it is naturally not entirely correct.However, if combined with the situation of Jia's family, it was more like Master Thirteen was warning something.

Brother Rong thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out, so he replied, "I don't want any glory, I just want to be safe."

King Zhongshun smiled, and his voice became obviously lower.Said: "It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe. The two sons and brothers of the palace, the king has also trained them. When it's time to be safe, you have to be safe."

"Master Thirteen, is something on your mind?"

"..."

King Zhongshun glanced at the kid.Gently said: "The fourth brother in the mansion taught you that you are two years younger and think more than you. Now that the king is still alive, he can stay in peace. When the king goes away, why not specialize in research and become active? Brother Ze, who is six or seven years old, has a good character, he can only read books and biographies at such a young age, being a rich and idle person can keep him safe forever."

Brother Rong opened his mouth in astonishment.

It turns out that King Zhongshun and the concubine have the same thoughts.Just listening to the words of rich and idle people, I suddenly thought of Jia Baoyu.The elders in Jia's mansion also thought that it would be good for Baoyu to be a wealthy and idle person, if it wasn't for the reason to keep him safe for the rest of his life?

Jia Rong was stunned for a while, and then recalled the past when he first arrived, with a lot of emotions.

Yes, it's good to be a rich and idle person.

At this moment, Brother Rong actually yearns for all the men in Jia's mansion to just be rich and idle.Let them do what they want.

Brother Rong thought quietly, the most important thing is that these people don't want to cause trouble.

King Zhongshun asked again: "Can you take the jade plaque that this king gave you back then?"

"It's here." Brother Rong hurriedly pulled it out of his arms and wanted to offer it.

King Zhongshun stopped him and said: "Take it, take it well, take it well. In the future, there will always be criticisms when the agricultural officials go to the local government to build a yamen. If the king goes to the underworld someday, you can get this jade card if you have it." The emperor opened the Internet. Even if Brother Chun has trouble in the future, you have to see that this king has treated you well, and you can keep him as a bastard just by sending the jade plaque back to the palace."

This... is still thinking like this.

Brother Rong said with a sneer: "Master Thirteen will live a long life, even after he is a hundred years old, he will have to ascend to the fairy world. At that time, the boy will be [-] years old. This jade card must be a token of the boy's search for the prince when he climbed to the fairy world." gone."

"Bullshit." King Zhongshun scolded, "Don't I know my own situation? You carry the jade card with you at all times. No matter the emperor or those who have been favored by the palace, it will be convenient for them to see this card."

Brother Rong replied: "Since the prince is worried about Mr. Chun, why don't you pass the jade card on to him?"

"This thing is in his hands, hmph... I'm afraid it will cause chaos in the world, and then he will be harmed." King Zhongshun snorted twice, and drove Brother Rong out.

On the contrary, Brother Rong left the room, holding the jade plaque in his hand, he could feel the warmth on it.

The inner eunuchs had entered the room to wait on him, and the night outside was getting dark, but he had never been so awake like this before.Staring blankly at the cold moon in the sky, it is round, like a white jade plate.

Suddenly someone came, but it was the female officer Jiayi.

"Your Majesty has a call."

Brother Rong looked at the sky, pointed to the bright moon in the sky for Jiayi, and said embarrassingly: "At this time of day, it is inconvenient for an official to stay in the palace, let alone enter the inner courtyard of the palace."

"At this time, the lord can't get in even if he wants to." Jiayi said angrily: "The empress pointed to a small independent courtyard in the front yard for the lord to retreat to, and the empress is in a place next to the courtyard. Xuanfang summoned."

"Oh."

That's okay, that's okay.The Thirteenth Lord treats himself well, if he still enters the inner courtyard of the palace at night, wouldn't it be revenge for his kindness?This kind of thing can't be done, absolutely can't be done.

He also knew in his heart that although it was just a question, Zhenye's presence in the inner courtyard of the palace would really ruin King Zhongshun's reputation.This kind of thing has nothing to do with what has been done, others only care about the fact that the palace has no rules, so they make random guesses.

Brother Rong also saw that there were really many people behind the female official Jiayi, there were maids and maids, and there were also young eunuchs.Come to think of it, it's also to avoid suspicion at night.

Just followed the female officer Jiayi to the Xuanli, and when I entered, I saw a large screen with eight sides and five colored glazes in the Xuanli.After the female official Jiayi and the maid went around the screen, only the young eunuch and Brother Rong were left outside to talk.

Inside, Princess Zhongshun's lazy voice came.

"What did the thirteenth master tell you, and how long did he say it?"

Brother Rong will be able to speak openly, but because of the presence of the maid and eunuch, he will not mention the matter of Brother Chun and Brother Ze of Wang Fu.

Princess Zhongshun asked suspiciously: "Didn't I tell you about the fourth princess in the palace?"

Four princesses?
I haven't heard the prince mention it.What's the matter with the fourth princess?
Brother Rong echoed: "Never."

Hearing a soft sigh from inside, he said again: "October [-]st is the fourth princess's birthday, the emperor granted permission to do it in Prince Zhongshun's mansion. On that day, bring your daughter-in-law over."

"Forget it."

"Okay, let's go back and rest." There was another slight movement from inside, and the little eunuch next to him also wanted to ask for help, and the empress spoke again. "I think you are used to being a blessing in the Ningguo Mansion, and you are afraid that you will not be used to it in the Wang Mansion. Let Jiayi find two innocent maids in the Wang Mansion to entertain you, and let them serve you."

"Your Majesty's kindness, the boy appreciates it." Brother Rong replied sarcastically.

"Those two maids are also beautiful, and their backgrounds are innocent. Don't worry, their ancestors were not criminal officials, and they are not criminal girls themselves. They were bought by the palace from outside. If you look at them, you can bring them back to Ningguo Mansion tomorrow." also may."

"..."

Brother Rong didn't know what to say.

Instead, the little inner eunuch anxiously led him to the independent small courtyard arranged by him.

That night, it snowed heavily.

The next day, Brother Rong went back to the mansion and told Grandma Rong about the Fourth Princess' birthday.

Ke Qing laughed and said, "What gift should we give this Jin Gui's younger sister?"

"Look at it and give it away. I was raised in the palace since I was a child, what rare things have I never seen? Sending it back and forth, it's just a few things."

"The uncle is not interested. The fourth princess said earlier that she likes to listen to strange stories. It would be good for the uncle to collect some books as a gift."

"Books?" The books on the market are nothing more than witty scholars abducting beauties and poor scholars coaxing ladies.If I really want to send this kind of book to the concubines in the harem, I am afraid that I will sue the emperor.

There are other novels of Gods, Demons and Zhiguai, but the number and excitement are far inferior to the novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies.

Brother Rong joked: "If you want to give her a notebook, unless you make up one yourself, most of the outsiders don't like it."

Grandma Rong nodded and said: "Uncle is the best at making things up. In the past, he used to coax me with stories from heaven. Why don't you make up a book, which also suits the fourth princess's wishes."

After hearing this, Uncle Rong laughed and said, "I suddenly remembered a story, please listen to whether it is suitable or not."

"what story?"

"It was a cold winter day, very cold, snowing, and it was getting dark. On this cold and dark night, a little girl with no hat, no gloves, and no shoes, was walking in the street. Walk slowly.

In her hand was a basket of torches.

She is a little girl who sells fire discounts.

But a whole day passed, and not a single book was sold.Poor little girl!She was cold and hungry, and walked forward shivering.Seeing the houses on both sides of the street, knock on them one by one.Shouting in his mouth: "Huozhezi, sell Huozhangzi."Huozhangzi exchanged monthly tickets and rewards. '

It's a pity that no one is willing, and everyone tells her to go away in disgust.

The sad little girl sat down in the corner of the house, smelling the fragrant roast goose in the house.She was hungrier and colder.Only one fire pocket can be taken out.

Blow it and start a fire.

The sky is also illuminated at this moment, as if the snowflakes have been melted.

All she could see was the room she had knocked on just now, all set on fire.

The little girl felt so warm.Seeing the houses being burnt down, he said to himself: "It seems that I can only go to the reader's house to sell fire books." '
