Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 400 Seeing the Four Princesses Alone

Brother Rong fastened the clothes for Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes gleamed with anger.Shame and anger were intertwined, and they suppressed Brother Rong's intimate words that were about to blurt out.

He changed his words and said, "It's a long way from Shenjing to Jinling, and my wife is injured. Baochai can't rest assured. Besides, the second master of the Xue family and Miss Qin are still in the mansion. Their business is not over, and it is not easy for the wife to leave of."

"Didn't you find Tiao'er to go to Mobei to do business? The family of Qin girl Xu's will not be able to return to Beijing until next year. At that time, Tiao'er will also come back from Mobei, and I will come from Jinling to host Qin girl."

Hearing Aunt Xue's words, Brother Rong was inexplicably relieved.

After all, she is still the kind and kind Aunt Xue, and she still maintains her warm heart.

Thinking that Aunt Xue would return to Shenjing, Brother Rong suddenly felt a lot less burdened.

I was thinking with my head down, but I heard Aunt Xue say: "Brother Rong is about to go on a long journey, don't be distracted by my injury, and spend more time with Bao girl and the others when you have time outside of making business decisions."

"Forehead……"

"Occasionally go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to see Daiyu, don't come to this courtyard again."

Did Aunt Xue regard herself as an uninvited guest?
While thinking about how to return, Aunt Xue called out: "Tongxi, Tonggui, send Uncle Xiao Rong back to the house."

Uncle Rong was sent out of the small courtyard where Xue's family lived, looking at the corner door leading to the courtyard of Xue's guest residence behind him, and looking at the spacious avenue in front of him.

Youyou sighed, but didn't know where he was going.

Outside the corner gate is the green peak of the Grand View Garden, with a stream in front and the main entrance of the Grand View Garden on the side.

There is a road next to it, which leads directly to Yihong courtyard.

Lian shook his head, and hurriedly left this well-connected place.I hurried past Qinfang Pavilion from the avenue, and hesitated again, whether I should take the Qinfang Gate Bridge to cross the main hall to Hengwu Garden, or take the Cuiyan Bridge to Aunt Lin's Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

After thinking for a moment, I turned around and saw the Buddhist Temple surrounded by mountains in the east, and the incense smoke from the nunnery on the mountain.

someday.

Uncle Rong and Grandma Rong were sent to Zhongshun Palace.

Brother Rong first paid a visit to the sick Prince Zhongshun by himself, and after chatting for half an hour, Prince Zhongshun sent him to the garden of the palace to meet the concubine.

Concubine Zhongshun's beauty is still the same, with a touch of polish, just like a young woman in her 30s and [-]s.She heard that Brother Rong was coming here, her expression remained unchanged, and she hummed slowly: "That bastard of yours doesn't care about things, so why don't you forget it. Anyway, I am also the grandmother of that little guy. How much trouble?"

After hearing this, the fourth princess hid her sad face to rescue the god-sister who often communicates with letters.He laughed and said, "Your Majesty misses her grandson, but she forgets about her daughter. Elder sister is also kind, knowing that today is a banquet organized by her younger sister, how can she bring her grandson here. Wouldn't it be that I stole the limelight as my younger sister?"

Ke Qing said: "I really want to bring that child. Not only can I get a big gift from the empress, but I can also ask for a string of colored rope money from Her Royal Highness. However, the uncle in the mansion has schemes. Say a few auspicious words, and then let him seek auspiciousness from his empress and His Highness."

The empress was surprised and said: "Is there any difference between this time and my brother's coming later?"

Ke Qing said: "My Lady's nephew in Ning Mansion said so, as long as the child has a clever tongue and can coax Her Majesty and Her Royal Highness to be happy. The gift of meeting for the first time will naturally not be small."

The concubine smiled and said: "Everyone listen, that bastard even wants to come to me to calculate the gift of the child. Can we do without him in the Zhongshun Palace?"

After hearing this, all the concubines and wives in the garden couldn't help casting envious glances at Qin Shi, Grandma Rong.The words of Concubine Zhongshun can spread throughout Shenjing within a day.

The meaning of the words just now, those of them who are concubines, who are the wives of Gaoming, can't understand.Considering the attack on Lord Rongjue in Ningguo Mansion in the mountains a few days ago, there has been no progress for many days.

The words of the concubine just now are to declare to the outside world that the Ningguo Mansion is protected by the Zhongshun Palace.

His Royal Highness the Fourth Princess knew better than others that the reason why the empress said these words was because Brother Rong was attacked, and the second was because Brother Rong wanted to accompany him to Mobei.

There was a sad look on his face for a while, and he couldn't completely hide it.

Secretly said that in the past year, there was no man in charge in the Ningguo Mansion, so the Zhongshun Palace naturally had to protect it.

However, she listened to Niangniang's changing topic, and she slowly rebuked there.

"There were a lot of things going on in Shenjing in the past few months. I don't blame you for not visiting me, a mother. Your little brother from Ningguo Mansion won't come to the palace to report the classics and history books when he was one year old. This is not right after all. Fortunately, I even selected hundreds of books from the Wangfu collection for the little grandson, but I haven't sent them out after several months."

Qin Keqing also talked about this matter with Master Zeng Rong, but she never had the chance to have the book sent by Prince Zhongshun.And because Uncle Rong knew it was something not very valuable like a book, he didn't take it seriously.

At this time, Grandma Rong can only bring her mother to plead guilty.

However, His Royal Highness the Fourth Princess listened to the books and scriptures, and suddenly remembered that he had asked Brother Rong to give him a storybook and a novel, but he only gave it once or twice and never sent it again.

This meeting can't help but laugh and complain angrily. "My sister's good man still owes my sister a lot of books, when can I deliver them?"

All the ladies in the garden pay attention, in the past they only knew that Jia Rong had a good relationship with Prince Zhongshun, and only Jia Rong's daughter-in-law was recognized as a goddaughter by Princess Zhongshun.Looking at it now, it seems that this goddaughter is extremely favored by the concubine, and even His Royal Highness the fourth princess is also close to her.

After chatting for a while, it's time for the female officer Jiayi to talk into the ear of the princess.

After hearing this, the concubine laughed and asked the side concubine of the palace to lead all the concubines, wives, and sisters to the attic to watch the play.

"You also go to the theater together."

Qin Keqing lowered her body to receive the order, but Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess stood still, with resentment in her eyes. "I saw him too."

Princess Zhongshun had no choice but to ask Jiayi to guide the Fourth Princess to the Linshui Pavilion.He calculated that when the fourth princess met Brother Rong, he would let Brother Rong come to talk to him.

The fourth princess felt resentful and even more worried.He had heard about Brother Rong's attack, but he had no reason to worry about him.In the past two years, people have found out a lot about Brother Rong's deeds, and they also admire his talent and appreciate his spirit.

In particular, I often exchanged letters with Grandma Rong Qin, and talked more about Qin's daily life in Ningguo Mansion.

After getting a portrait of Mobei Prince's son from outside, he also heard that Mobei's prince had concubines, and even had several children.

I don't even want to marry to the remote Mobei.

"You stay outside." Her Highness the Fourth Princess said slowly to the maid beside her.

After several people looked at each other in blank dismay, they hurriedly knelt down.Straight said: "Your Highness has a delicate golden body, how can he be in the same room as a foreign courtier's man."

"He is my brother-in-law." The fourth princess muttered, her eyes were angry.She had something to say to Brother Rong in private, but she didn't want the people around her to hear it.Only then did he find out such an absurd reason for being unreliable.

Who doesn't know that Jia Qin's family is the goddaughter recognized by the princess, and Her Highness the Princess was sent to the palace when she was young. The princess and Jia Qin's family are inseparable relatives.

Not to mention Jia Qin's husband.

Even if His Highness the Fourth Princess wanted to meet a certain county king, a certain prince, or even a certain prince in the palace, the maids did not dare to get away.

Seeing the stalemate, Jiayi next to her said, "You guys stay on guard outside, and Her Royal Highness and I are inside."

After hearing this, the maids replied with confidence: "Yes."

His Highness the Fourth Princess also showed a smile, and said kindly, "Thank you, Sister Jiayi."

"Go in."

The two entered from the corridor on one side, and when they arrived at the room, they saw a large glass screen between them.Hundreds of birds are flying on the screen, the flowers are red and the leaves are green, and only the figure and shadow of the person opposite can be seen from the ground.

Brother Rong was also curious about what happened today.Didn't you say that the four princesses will hold a banquet?I just learned a lesson from the Thirteenth Master, and when I came to the garden, I was also taught by the princess?

How many private things have to be explained even if they are led to the remote Shuixuan building here.

Brother Rong scratched the back of his neck, but Keqing had already entered the garden to pay his respects to the empress, and if the empress had anything to say to Keqing, she just said it.All he wanted to do now was to quickly meet the empress and greet her, and then go back earlier to see Ping'er.

Ping'er somehow called Aunt Zhu here today, he was afraid that Wang Xifeng and Li Gongcai would fight in the East Mansion.

You have to rush back and suppress it as soon as possible.

After a while, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside.One of the voices was familiar and could be identified as the female officer Jiayi's.Nai He couldn't hear what was said, and couldn't guess what happened outside.

I had no choice but to stand in the pavilion suffocating boredom, staring at the scenery on the screen with a pair of eyes, simply passing the time.

Hearing the door behind him ring, Brother Rong knew someone had come in.

Curiously, he pressed his face against the gap in the wooden frame of the screen, only watching Aunt Jiayi respectfully invite a [-]-year-old girl into the room.The young girl was beautiful and brilliant, her appearance was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember it.

All I can see is a delicate face with exquisite features, beautiful is beautiful, cute and cute.It's just that her eyes are full of sorrow that doesn't belong to her age, just like the dark clouds in the sky that can't be blown away by the wind, but the beauty of the haze makes people breathless.

"Move the screen, I will talk to Lord Rong face to face."

Brother Rong was shocked, this beautiful girl in palace costume really came to find him.After thinking for a moment, Fang Fan suddenly realized that this was His Highness the Fourth Princess.

It's just that the appearance is different from before, and the temperament has also changed.The former fourth princess was so cheerful and lively, but now the fourth princess is like a dark cloud covering the sky.

If he hadn't remembered that the fourth princess was hosting a banquet today, he would definitely not have recognized it in normal times.

Seeing that Aunt Jiayi hesitated a little, her eyes confirmed with the fourth princess, Fang listened to the order and pushed the screen closer.Seeing this, Brother Rong hurriedly took a few steps back, pretending that he hadn't peeked through the gap in the screen just now.

Aunt Jiayi was winking at herself, but Brother Rong couldn't read it.The appearance of the girl on the opposite side gradually appeared in front of him, she was very beautiful, and he could see the cuteness of the past.

"I have seen..."

"Brother-in-law."

Brother Rong hadn't finished speaking, and the ceremony was only half done.The gloomy girl had put on a relaxed smile, and walked to his side with brisk steps. "Brother-in-law, you don't need to be polite, sister please ask brother-in-law to sit down and talk."

Uncle Rong raised his eyebrows.

What brother-in-law, sister.It sounds like the female officer Jiayi is his daughter-in-law.

Jiayi also seemed to have heard something different, couldn't help but blushed, and politely led Uncle Rong to sit down and then poured tea for the two of them.

But she couldn't help looking at Brother Rong, the fourth princess's brother-in-law and sister made her have some fantasies that she shouldn't have.

Jiayi's face and eyes naturally fell into Brother Rong's eyes, took the hot tea in Jiayi's hand, and said thank you softly.Jiayi's face turned even redder, and Uncle Rong couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Brother-in-law, you always look at what sister Jiayi is doing. Do you want my sister to ask your mother to send you?"

"Ahem..." Jiayi is a maid and official, and a maid is different from a servant girl, she doesn't just give it away.Uncle Rong cupped his hands slowly and said, "Your Highness, please don't joke."

Next to her, Jiayi blushed into a monkey's ass, and spoke softly to His Highness the Fourth Princess. "Your Highness, stop joking."

The fourth princess hummed, looked at Jia Rong, and said, "Brother-in-law is too polite, too polite, not at all like when we first met."

Brother Rong always felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the name brother-in-law.How can I be able to let Her Royal Highness be my sister-in-law?

Silently complaining in my heart: You were just a little girl back then, but now you have grown into a little beauty, and you are also a princess who is about to get married.How can there be less etiquette, isn't this just waiting for you to find fault?
"Your Highness is joking. This humble minister is a scholar and Confucianist. How could he be disrespectful in front of His Highness?"

He replied softly, and slowly raised his head, only to see His Royal Highness the Fourth Princess and female officer Jiayi both suppressing their smiles.

"Brother-in-law, don't pretend. My sister often tells my sister about her brother-in-law's deeds in letters."

"What deed?"

"My sister often said that my brother-in-law would hide in a corner every time there was a banquet, especially when talking about poetry and poetry, every time he rushed to serve the wine and didn't follow the order." The fourth princess smiled and covered her small mouth, "Brother-in-law is so busy If you can’t answer the poems, can you still be considered a scholar and Confucian?”

Jia Rong looked at her with a smile on her face and worry in her eyes, knowing that the fourth princess might be worrying about going to Mobei.

Mobei is indeed not as prosperous as Shenjing, and the customs there are also different from Shenjing.Married to Mobei, it is also difficult to go back to the palace and the palace to see relatives.

He laughed dryly, and admitted: "In this way, I am indeed not a scholar."

The fourth princess secretly thought: Although Brother Rong can't drink wine, he can write poems and libretto in private to please the Qin family.The Mongolian men on the grassland advocate riding and shooting, so they have nothing to say to themselves.

"Brother-in-law is not a Confucian scholar, but he is more talented than a Confucian scholar."

Hearing the compliment from the fourth princess, Brother Rong felt that there was something wrong with the way the princess, whom he had not seen for a long time, looked at him.It's hard to put it into words, as if sitting opposite is a young concubine.

A very mysterious and calculating woman.

Time is like a knife, if you don't see it for a long time, it will be carved into something you don't know.

"Your Highness is wrong."

He replied humbly.

His Royal Highness the fourth princess gave Jiayi a wink.While Brother Rong was puzzled, Jiayi slowly walked away, and immediately felt the touch of her hand...
