Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 8
Jia Rong scoffed at Mr. Zhen's statement that Master Zhen was not short of money, curled his lips and said, "Of course the master is not short of money, but my daughter-in-law's East Courtyard is lacking. My son just got married, and many people have been added to the courtyard. I don’t have any outside business. I only have to wait for ten or two months of money from the master, which is not enough. Why don’t the master invest one thousand or two hundred taels, and after the cement is made, the child’s house will keep some daily expenses, and the rest will be handed over to the mansion. .”

"Isn't talking so much just asking for money?" Jia Zhen thought she had seen through Jia Rong's thoughts, and just wanted to send Rong Rong away quickly, and waved her hand: "From now on, your monthly money will be 20 taels, Fang Zi, you can do it yourself." , don’t look for me again because of this.”

Jia Zhen turned around and was about to leave, but found that her left sleeve was still being held by Brother Rong.

Jia Rong asked later: "My wife's monthly money?"

When the impetuous Jia Zhen heard Qin's being mentioned, she seemed to have taken medicine: "Same, same as you, 20 taels a month."

After saying that, she was about to run upstairs, but Jia Rong didn't let go, "Master, why not..."

"Let go!"

Jia Rong was yelled at, but with a smile still on her face, she said in a deliberative tone: "Master, how about this, how about we discount this part of the monthly money raised in our courtyard? According to an annual increase of 240 taels, ten years That's two thousand four..."

"The monthly money is calculated separately. You are 20 taels a month. Is there a cent more? Get lost!"

If Jia Zhen hadn't been happy today, and bought some charming dancers, how could she have said so much to Jia Rong.Now that Jia Rong was making progress, Jia Zhen was so angry that she wanted to give Jia Rong a kick without even thinking about it.

Seeing the situation, Jia Rong had to let go and dodge. When Jia Zhen disappeared in a hurry, Jia Rong looked at the three characters "Tianxianglou" on the plaque and smiled with satisfaction.

Don't underestimate the fact that it's only 20 taels a month, but it's actually quite a lot. It's enough for a year's living expenses in an ordinary family.

When the laughter of the woman upstairs sounded, Jia Rong left here amidst the laughter.

This tossing not only raised the monthly fee in the courtyard, but also made it clear that Jia Zhen didn't like the workmanship formula, at least for a short time, she would let herself be stubborn.

The only regret is that the money for making cement has not been settled yet, and Jia Zhen doesn't want to pay the money.

I just hope that when Jia Zhen knows the power of cement, she will not regret it.

At the same time, the thorn in my heart couldn't be healed.Especially when I mentioned Qin Keqing just now, Jia Zhen's reaction was too suspicious.

"Old things will die in women's stomachs sooner or later!"

Waking up the next day, Jia Rong vigorously went to find Jia Zhen, but she still had something to ask yesterday.

"Greetings to the master."

When Jia Zhen saw Jia Rong, she remembered that this guy almost ruined her own good deed, and she couldn't get angry.He didn't see the person next to Jia Rong who he was thinking about, and he was disappointed and angry.

"Why didn't your wife come over?"

"Forehead……"

The smile on Jia Rong's face froze for an instant, and she said coldly, "I was tired from traveling back and forth yesterday, and caught a cold at night. I let her sleep for a while, and came here to say hello to the master."

When Jia Zhen heard this, her expression flashed anxiously, and she said, "Did you invite a doctor? I'll go and see her."

Jia Rong blocked his way unobtrusively, and said in a low voice: "The daughter-in-law said that it would be good to rest for a day. Before she came, she specifically asked not to let the master worry about it. The master went to see her. It is because the master misses his daughter-in-law, it shouldn't be Refused. But the daughter-in-law is naturally a thoughtful person, she is afraid of bothering others in everything, and worried about what she has not done well. Please, master, let the daughter-in-law rest!"

In fact, Qin Keqing was not sick at all.It's just that Jia Rong remembered Jia Zhen's appearance yesterday, so she simply asked her to avoid Jia Zhen.Even if it was Youshi's place, he said hello early and returned.

The narrow-mindedness of some aspects of men is vividly reflected.

"Forget it, let the maids in the yard take good care of you." Jia Zhen stopped and told her, but she couldn't say anything else. "Go to the library and get some supplements for your wife. Later, I will send someone to send you a few hundred taels of silver. If you don't have any in the library, go outside and buy some."

"I thank the master on behalf of my daughter-in-law."

Now there is money to develop cement!But Jia Rong couldn't be happy when she thought that Jia Zhen was so caring about her daughter-in-law.

"Don't be hypocritical here. You didn't take good care of your daughter-in-law. I'm asking you."

"It must be taken care of." Jia Rong replied respectfully, and the superficial work still had to be done.He asked again, "Yesterday, what did my grandfather say?"

"If you don't come back, if you don't come back, don't go back. I reprimanded some old Taoist priests in the temple, and they will not do anything that insults the reputation of our mansion in the future."

The reputation of the Ning Mansion needs to be humiliated by others?
If Jia Jing doesn't come back, no one in the mansion cares about Jia Zhen.

Jia Rong was also afraid that something would happen to Xuanzhen Guan, if Jia Jing knocked himself out, or the girl in Guanli was forced into a hurry and something tragic happened.

The "Renyin Palace Change" of the previous dynasty made Emperor Sejong almost fall into the sky.What kind of painful torture would make the court ladies want to murder the then monarch?

Now Grandfather Jia Jing is also going this way, he deserves it if it arouses public grievances, but Jia Rong himself has nothing to do with it.

"Are you really not coming back?"

"Not going back."

A group of pig teammates, what pigs and dogs fuck!
What Jia Rong was most worried about was another matter. What Jia Jing said in his words on the road that day, it was obvious that Jia's mansion was not with someone in the palace.The cruel palace man who can make Jia Jing afraid is definitely not the father-in-law's inner prisoner.

What I'm afraid of is that this is still a huge pit, which is much more serious than the huge pit that I met with the Taoist Hu in the temple.If Jia Jing died suddenly, or if the incident broke out, would it cause a chain reaction?
Otherwise, Jia Rong would not bother to care about him.

I can't wait to get a cannon and shoot Jia Jing and Jia Zhen together.

these two days.

Jia Rong always asked Qin Shi to avoid Master Zhen, and also took supplements from the warehouse and ordered the big kitchen to make some and deliver them, which was enough tricks.In her spare time, she also asked Qin Shi to go to the West Mansion more often, and learn how to manage the inner house with Sister Feng.

"The villain has seen Master Rong."

"You guys are here, let me watch for a while." Jia Rong received a few people in the side hall, and they were all old craftsmen recommended by Qin Ye.

These few looked very simple and honest, and they didn't dare to say anything, restrained and waiting for orders.

"Don't stand still, sit down."

The crowd didn't dare, one of them said: "Master, I'm so disgusted, how dare a villain sit with Master Rong."

Jia Rong really forgot. Although the world of Red Mansions has blurred the boundaries between scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, there is still a clear separation of classes and levels.

An old craftsman named Huan Zongcheng explained: "The young ones used to work in the Ministry of Industry, but because of some incidents, they are now doing business outside the city. It is an honor for the young ones to recruit us."

Jia Rong is now extremely sensitive to getting involved, her eyelids twitched involuntarily.Ask: "What is involved?"

Zong Cheng sighed: "We workers don't understand either. We only heard that some masters in the Ministry of Industry had something to do with the old Prince Yizhong, so we were out of luck. Don't worry, sir, we are all clean and white." .”

Jia Rong was worried from the bottom of her heart, and made up her mind to find a few close people to investigate later.It is extremely important to do a background check before hiring someone.Just because it was recommended by Qin Ye, one should not be completely relieved.
