Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 73 Lin Ruhai is seriously ill

Wang Xifeng led Lin Daiyu away without stopping.

Brother Rong wanted to give it away, but Sister Feng turned her back. "I'm with your Aunt Lin, and I want you to send me something. I don't usually see filial piety, so I'm active when I send someone back. How much do you dislike us?"

"Rong'er doesn't mean that." Brother Rong just smiled sarcastically and told the women who were carrying the sedan chairs to calm down when he was so insulted.

Qin Keqing said: "Auntie doesn't know that my uncle misses Second Aunt and Aunt Lin most in his heart. Seeing that the night is getting dark, uncle must be worried about Auntie and Auntie."

Wang Xifeng glanced at Rong'er with a half-smile, and then at Rong'er-in-law who spoke for him.Ruo pointed out: "Which one can guess what is in his mind, maybe what he is thinking about."

Where did you make up your mind?

Jia Rong scratched the corners of her eyes, forced a smile and said, "Where is there any idea, since my aunt won't let me send it off, it's fine if Rong'er doesn't."

Lin Daiyu stood up and said: "Sister Feng is afraid of troublesome Brother Rong, Brother Rong should just accompany your wife well. Today I took up your time again, so it will be inconvenient to see you off at night."

When Jia Rong saw Sister Feng entering the sedan chair, she gave herself a vicious look.He said that he was innocent, and this time he really didn't make up his mind.The two of you came hand in hand, so naturally you will go back by car together, with a little girl like Lin Daiyu around, how can you do anything.

After the two sedan chairs left the yard, Brother Rong looked away and brought Keqing back to the room.

"It's no wonder Second Aunt and Aunt Lin dislike the uncle, smelling this smell, they are like stinky fish in the river." Qin Keqing joked, and asked Que'er to call the maid in the yard to fetch water.

"Aren't they all the loyal prince and your master, these two have been guarding the craftsmen. I can't leave, can I? I just watch from the side, and occasionally guide a few craftsmen in the Ministry of Works how to stir and add water. That's why I'm sweating."

Qin Keqing chuckled softly and said: "The master of the Qin family is also under supervision at such an age, so what's the harm in getting tired once or twice when you are young? If you can make a good impression in front of King Zhongshun, your career will be more secure in the future."

"I haven't noticed before, but you're still an official fan? If a daughter-in-law is born a man, she must be very promising." Jia Rong gently scratched Qin Keqing's little nose, and said with a smile: "You little lady has a respectful man Not enough? Is it possible that you still want to be honored by the palace to promote you as a lady?"

Qin Keqing tilted her head up and laughed, "It's good to have nature. It depends on whether the uncle can work hard and give his wife a different grade."

Uncle Rong took Keqing's little hand, and said: "If my daughter-in-law serves the uncle to take a bath today, don't say she is a third-class gentleman, I will let you be a decent wife."

"If you want someone to serve you, go find that little maid of yours." Qin Keqing booed and hid.

Que'er, who was following Jia Rong, blushed and asked, "Do you want Que'er to serve you?"

"..."

"I love to take a bath, my skin is good." Jia Rong sang a cheerful song in the bathtub, the only shortcoming was that there was a back scrubber missing.

"Wash up, wash down, rub left, rub right, and shake hands when you have time."

The next few days will not be so pleasant, Brother Rong will go to the manor of Zhongshun Prince's Mansion early every day, and if he comes back, he can catch up with the afternoon meal in the mansion, and if he comes back late, the mansion has already lighted the lights.

I made myself smelly every day, and after taking a bath, I didn't have any other energy.

At the end of September, the affairs of Zhongshun Wangfu Manor were considered to be over.

Uncle Rong not only built a dam for the Wangfu Manor, but also thoughtfully rebuilt the canals that diverted water from the manor's fields.The water from the upper reaches came down, and the dam was intact. It took less than half a day for the dam to store water.

"The canal is flooded!" Chang Shi shouted excitedly to announce the good news to the prince.

Having completed such a 'big project', Brother Rong still has a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Although the dam is not big, it is the first in the world to be built with cement and stones from beginning to end.The cement is still produced by Ningguo Mansion, which means more to him.

Jia Rong led King Zhongshun to walk on the canal. : "Chitose, please look here. The artisans have specially left a canal here. If the fertile fields under this place need water, you only need to remove the stones blocking the canal to separate it. When not in use, just Just block the mouth of the small canal with stone slabs."

King Zhongshun nodded and listened.

Jia Rong said again: "The canal has been built here. As long as the water in the river is not dry, the canal will not need to be rebuilt. If no one smashes it deliberately, the small canal will not be damaged for dozens or hundreds of years. From then on, the farmer who farms the land for the palace People, don’t have to worry about the irrigation of the fields anymore. If all the fields in the world can have such a canal that is not bad for tens of hundreds of years, all the land in the world can be irrigated.”

King Zhongshun became short of breath when he heard Brother Rong's words.What a sight that must have been.On the mouth, he said lightly: "Let's take a look at it later."

Uncle Rong knew that the thousand-year-old prince was still worried, but Jia Rong knew it well.Once the cement is solidified, unless it is broken vigorously, it can be used normally for 60 to [-] years under the sun and water. If it is repaired later, it can be extended a lot.

In the next few days, every day when the Zhongshun Dynasty came back, he would pass by the Ningguo Mansion to pick up Brother Rong and go to see the dam and canal on the manor.

This prince is very cautious.At first, Brother Rong felt a little depressed, even Jia Qiang, Zong Cheng and others went back to continue firing the kiln, and even found themselves here every day.

But after a long time, he developed some respect for King Zhongshun.

These days, I have also inquired a lot about King Zhongshun, such as being imprisoned in the battle for the heir apparent, leading troops to defeat Junggar, and having a small-scale battle with Eros in the north.Later, he took over the position of Prince Yizhong in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when Xiande came to the throne, he took charge of the deficit of the household department and recovered millions of taels of silver.

The prince in front of him, who looks about 60 or [-] years old, actually just turned [-] this year.

Brother Rong has seen everything these days, King Zhongshun is indeed a man of practical things.He knew that he might never be able to be like King Zhongshun, he couldn't do that, but he was not stingy with his little respect.

On the second day of October, the winter solstice, Uncle Rong was waiting at the door for the carriage of Prince Zhongshun.

Before I waited, there was news from Xifu.

"Yangzhou Uncle Lin is seriously ill."

Jia Rong's heart sank for a moment, Lin Daiyu's father was going to die, maybe he was already dying.

He vaguely remembered that in the original book, someone mentioned whether Lin Ruhai died on the third day of September or not.

But I don't know if it's September this year or September next year.

If this year... it would be the second day of October now.The news from Yangzhou came too late.
