Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 35
A few days later it was Jia Jing's birthday.

Early in the morning, Jia Rong first went to You's courtyard to greet him, and then went to the clean room next to the ancestral hall to invite Jia Jing'an.

"Today is Grandpa's birthday, and my wife specially ordered my grandson to come to invite Grandpa early in the morning. After a while, relatives and friends from all over the family should also come, and they all want to kowtow to Grandpa."

Jia Jing closed his eyes and meditated, as if he didn't hear.If you are an old monk in meditation, you will not answer for a long time.

Brother Rong waited for a while, and then said: "The boy who went ahead reported that the four princes and eight princes are on the way, and even the king of Beijing Jing has come in person. The grandfather should see him."

Jia Jing still didn't answer, when the time came, his mouth and nose made light noises, as if he had just woken up.

"I have nothing to do with the world. The birthday party will only cause dust." Jia Jing replied slowly without opening his eyes. "You will!"

I knew it!

Jia Rong had expected in her heart that although the grandfather of the Ningguo Mansion no longer took the golden pill and his complexion improved a lot, he still ignored ordinary things.If it wasn't for Jia Rong who came to pay his respects every day, the grandfather would have forgotten even his family members.

Jia Rong said again: "The granddaughter-in-law has gone to the West Mansion to invite my little aunt two days ago, and my little aunt is here today, and the grandfather will not see each other?"

"not see."

After all, Jia Jing entered the fugue again, and Ren Jiarong didn't respond to what he said.Only after Jia Rong left, did she stand up gracefully and stop by the window, not knowing where to look.

Gradually, people came to Ningguo Mansion.

First, Jia Qiang and Jia Yun looked at the seats.Brother Qiang asked: "Is there anything?"

The servant replied: "Our lord ordered the servants to find a group of small opera performers and a group of ten performers. They are all preparing on the stage in the garden."

The next time, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and Baoyu all came, and Youshi and Qin Keqing took them in.Youshi's mother was here first, and everyone had seen each other before giving up their seats.

Apart from these ladies and wives, a group of girls also came in, their faces were filled with joy, except for the youngest Xichun who looked on coldly.

Since Baoyu didn't go to Yixue today, Baoyu greeted everyone and couldn't wait to play with Jingqing.It also caused Lin Daiyu to look at the back for a long time, even if there was no sign, she would not look away.

Only a slight sigh of resentment.

Qin Keqing saw her and brought Aunt Lin to sit down.

Because Baoyu always looked for Qin Zhong in the East Mansion after Yixue, Lin Daiyu often came to Keqing's courtyard.Since then, the two of them have grown closer, and even Daiyu shared many things in her heart with Keqing.

Mrs. Wang asked You Shi about Jia Zhen: "A few days ago, I heard from your elder sister that your master is not in good health. What's the matter?"

You Shi said: "The master was injured at that time, and he woke up after a few days of treatment by the imperial doctor Wang. Only two days later, he fell ill again, and he didn't talk about it. He became more and more depressed every day. It was Sister Feng's birthday. Suddenly, for some reason, the master became even more insane. I invited Feng Ziying’s husband, Zhang Youshi, and Imperial Physician Bao to see it, and after taking a few medicines to fix the wind and strengthen the yuan, I could only fall asleep every day.”

A few people said a few words, "There are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings." 'if.

After a while, Jia Rong came in and greeted Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and all the aunts.Responding to Youshi's words, "Just now I sent food to the grandfather, and the grandfather told the key points of the cultivation not to be disturbed. Please don't ask the younger ones to pay your respects. Just ask the wife to take good care of the grandfather and his wife, and ask me to take care of them. Uncles, aunts and brothers."

Youshi nodded and apologized to the wives, and I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other today.

Xichun still watched like a bystander, neither speaking nor smiling, very indifferent.

Jia Rong glanced at the little aunt, said nothing, and left with everyone.

Here, Mrs. You said to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang: "Ladies, eat here, or in the garden? There is a little play in the garden."

I'm getting ready. "

Mrs. Wang said to Mrs. Xing: "It's very good here."

You Shi ordered the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to prepare dinner quickly.They agreed together outside the door, and everyone took their orders.Soon the meal was served,

Mrs. You asked Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and her mother to sit, and she and Sister Feng sat on the side seats.Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "We came here to pay homage to the elder, isn't this our birthday?"

Sister Feng said: "The old man is good at keeping quiet. He has cultivated and he can be regarded as a god. When the ladies say this, it is called 'knowing with the heart'."

One sentence made the whole room laugh.

On the other side, Brother Rong, Jia Qiang and Jia Yun received him.

Jia Qiang grew up in Ningguo Mansion, so it is normal for her to receive relatives and friends with Brother Rong.On the contrary, Jia Yun was not well received in Jia's family before, but now she is working under Brother Rong's hands, and everyone is more polite.

Apart from Jia Lian who is far away in Ping'an Prefecture, Jia's family, Ningrong and Rongfu's two families also have many children who have gone to the outer house.For example, Jia Chang, Jia Ling, and Jia Rui were never absent, and even Jia Qin and Jia Fan, who were almost kicked out of the clan, also came.

Jia Qin timidly walked up to Brother Rong and asked, "Brother Rong, how are you doing?"

Although Brother Rong looked down on him in his heart, he didn't shake Jia Qin's face.Today is Jia Jing's birthday after all, whoever comes is a guest.

Jia Rong smiled back and asked, "Brother Qin? How are you?"

"Not good." Jia Qin shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "Brother Rong, you should know that since I took up the job, I have offended many people in the clan. The elders of every house look down on me, and now I have..."

"No money?"

Jia Qin nodded embarrassedly and said, "Yes."

Since he and Jia Fan took over the task of clearing up the rumors in the clan, the children in the family have not been with him anymore.He has become the object of everyone's dislike, and he is afraid that one day he will say the wrong thing and Jia Qin will catch him and come to the two governments to inform him.

Jia Fan resented Jia Qin for making him lose money, and he didn't like to see him.

Now the only two who are still in contact with him are Jia Chang and Jia Ling.These two are not good things, and getting along with Jia Qin is just to win the money in his hand.

Now Jia Qin has lost all the money in his hands, and the family is not rich, and the mother is lonely at home and does not benefit much.Now I am really poor, and I can't even support my own expenses on weekdays.

Brother Rong also knew a little about his experience, and asked, "What does Brother Qin mean?"

"I want to ask Brother Rong for an errand, just like Brother Yun and Brother Qiang."

"It's not that they don't let you do their work, but that they are too tiring. You can't do it!" Although Jia Qin is miserable now, Brother Rong doesn't trust him, so why would he let this guy go to his own cement kiln.He said with a smile: "Your task this year is to take care of those sloppy things. Once you're done, I'll give you more money in private at the grand festival."

Brother Qin had a troubled face, there are still more than two months between now and the New Year's Eve festival, how can we wait.

"Well... I'm very short now... Can I support it first?"

"..." Jia Rong looked at this guy suspiciously. After all, he lived in a house outside the Rongguo Mansion in the back street, so how could he get into this. "You can pay first, but if you don't do things well, don't blame me for being rude at that time."

Brother Qin, thank you so much.

We have eaten together.

Jia Amnesty left in a hurry, only saying that something happened at home.Jia Zheng, on the other hand, didn't like to watch operas, nor did he like to be lively, so he also went home.The rest were dragged by Jia Yun and Jia Qiang to listen to the opera.

Not long after, the princes of Nan'an County King, Dongping County King, and Xining County King, six families including Zhenguo Gongniu's House, and eight families including Zhongjing Hou Shi's House sent people to present birthday gifts with name cards.

Jia Rong took them one by one, and put all the gift lists on the shelves.All the thank-you cards were handed over to the visitors from each family, who also rewarded them as usual, and let them go to dinner.

Hearing the arrival of King Beijing, the middle gate of Ningguo Mansion was opened, and Jia Rong led Jia Qiang to welcome him in the front yard.

Not long after, Jia Rong saw a handsome man in Chinese clothes who was about the same age as him, with a modest temperament.

Shui Rong just entered the door and blocked everyone's salute, saying: "The world is the best friendship, why do you need to see outsiders."

King Bei Jing asked the officials of the palace to carry them into the birthday ceremony, and said to Jia Rong: "You must be Brother Rong who was instructed by the old Duke. Your temperament is really good."

Jia Rong thanked the prince for his praise and wanted to lead him into the hall.

King Bei Jing anxiously asked: "Is the old man here?"

"The grandfather is practicing in the clean room, and he hasn't come out today."

Shui Rong seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and smiled sincerely: "Xiao Wang entered the court at five o'clock, and as soon as the official business was over, he changed into casual clothes and came here in a hurry, just to celebrate the old man's birthday. Speaking of which, Xiao Wang is a junior of the world man, so he should go to pay his respects today .”

Everyone in Ningguo Mansion was shocked when they heard this statement.Even Jia Rong couldn't help but look at Shui Rong with admiration.

Not only did the county king in front of him not have any dissatisfaction, but he even said that he wanted to go to pay his respects.

Jia Rong hesitated and didn't know how to agree.

But Shui Rong urged him to meet the old man to celebrate his birthday face to face, he was of such a high status that even the Ningguo Mansion dared not refuse.Jia Rong didn't think much about it when she arrived, she just thought that someone else came to celebrate her birthday and wanted to see the old man.

Brother Rong asked Jia Qiang to entertain the officials of the Beijing Palace, and led the Beijing King Shui Rong to Jia Jing's clean room.

Just after passing through the gate of Yi, I saw that the hallway of this remote courtyard was closed tightly, making Jia Rong forcefully eat at her own home and the door would be closed.

what happened?

Why is the door closed?
It's good to come in the morning!
"I'll call the door." Jia Rong said.

Bei Jing Wang Shui Rong shook his head, pulled Jia Rong back, stared at the hall door and sighed.Inexplicably said: "The old man's morality is getting deeper and deeper, it must be Xiao Wang who has no chance."

Shui Rong didn't force her to see Jia Jing anymore, and asked about Jia Zhen's current situation, and Brother Rong replied one by one.

"You and I are both the head of the household at a young age, so we need to move around more in the future." Shui Rong said, untied a piece of jade from his belt, and handed it to Brother Rong. "If there is any inconvenience in the future, you can go to the palace to find me."

Jia Rong's mind is buzzing, what's the matter?

Just watched Wang Shuirong of Beijing perform his junior salute to the hallway gate of this courtyard, just do his best!
He comes and goes in a hurry.

Shui Rong didn't see Jia Jing, so he didn't stay in Ningguo Mansion.

"It's really strange." Jia Qiang handed over the gift list from the Beijing Palace, "His family's gift is too expensive."

"Yes."

Jia Rong thought of Shui Rong's strange behavior, but felt that the gift list in her hand was extremely heavy.

It seems that there are still many things in Ningrong and Rongfu that I don't know.

I shouldn't accept his jade pendant.

Brother Rong thought to himself, maybe something will happen after accepting it now.

At the bottom of my heart, I felt that Jia Jing was strange again.

If it is said that he is absurdly ignoring family affairs, it is true.But Jia Jing once revealed that his practice of seclusion was related to someone in the palace, and now the king of Beijing County is celebrating his birthday in person.

However, this grandpa even ordered the hall door to be closed, so no outsiders could be seen.

Facing the majestic king of Beijing Jing, it would be too shameless.

I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I didn't think about it anymore.He and Jia Qiang first went back to Tianxiang Building, where Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You and Sister Feng listened to the opera together, while the masters of each house sang and drank in Ningxixuan.

Youshi asked, "Prince Beijing has left?"

"I gave you a gift, and left without chatting a few words."

Mrs. You didn't ask any more questions, Sister Feng spoke first, and said, "I see your Second Uncle Bao? In a blink of an eye, Mrs. Gong ran away."

Brother Rong replied: "Uncle Bao and the brothers of the Qin family were picking chrysanthemums with a group of girls and boys outside the building. My nephew saw that they were having fun, so he didn't bother me."

Mrs. Wang gave Jia Rong a sideways glance, she had nothing to say, and just concentrated on watching the play.

Jia Rong didn't stay here too long, she talked and laughed with Shang Keqing and Lin Daiyu.

In the evening, after all the plays were ordered, the banquet was removed and the meal was served.After eating and drinking tea, everyone in Rongguo Mansion bid farewell.

In the corner, Baoyu took Qin Zhong's hand and said in a low voice, "It's agreed, I can come to Xifu tomorrow."

But Jia Rong heard this, turned her head and saw Qin Zhong shyly said in a daughter-like manner: "Tonight I will beg my brother-in-law and sister, let me move to live with you."

Jia Rong frowned, and sent everyone from Rongguo Mansion to the car first.Looking back, Baoyu and Qin Zhong still refused to let go, cursing in their hearts: This buffalo fucked!

Brother Rong said in a muffled voice, "Second Uncle Bao, it's time to get in the car."

"Oh, I'll come." Baoyu replied, and whispered a few words in Qin Zhong's ear, which made Qin Zhong blush with embarrassment and full of anticipation.

Jia Rong was so angry that she immediately grabbed Baoyu into the car where Sister Feng was, and gave Qin Zhong a stare when she came back.
