Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 92
Brother Rong didn't know that Wang Xifeng was conflicted.

If she knew about this, she would definitely talk badly, and even use decades of life-long learning to persuade her to leave.It's just that he didn't know that Sister Feng was already taking the monthly money from the Rongguo Mansion to lend money to collect interest before Yuanchun became a concubine to visit her relatives.

Just came back from the West Mansion, entered the courtyard, and saw Qin Keqing sitting half-lying on the kang.

"Why did you lie down and fall asleep again?"

Ruizhu pouted and said: "This morning, the old lady and aunts of the You family came to the house, and grandma sat with her in the wife's room for a while."

Brother Rong, a relative of the You family, has never had much contact with him.Not knowing the situation, the black face asked: "Could it be that the old lady of the You family gave your grandma a face?"

Qin Keqing gave Ruizhu a light look, shook her head and said, "Don't listen to Ruizhu's nonsense, it's too cold today. I'm afraid I'll catch a cold after walking."

Brother Rong touched his daughter-in-law's forehead and found that her body temperature was normal.Said: "Since I feel uncomfortable, I will send an imperial doctor to have a look."

"Grandma isn't feeling well, it's because she's feeling sick in her heart." Que'er snorted, and she ignored Grandma Rong's hinting eyes, and shouted, "People from You's family came here today and said they brought some offerings. As the head of the inner house, grandma naturally couldn't be stingy. So according to the old rules of the two prefectures, she returned to You's house for dozens of taels of silver. However, the You family felt that there were fewer people, and said that when the master was alive, every day Every time I come to the mansion, there are more than a few dozen taels."

There are many relatives in Ningrong and Rongfu, and there are also many favors that come and go every year, but it is only two or thirty taels nearby, and ten or so taels far away.These are the tacit favors of the two governments, and if there are many, it is the filial piety or rewards of some individuals in the government to relatives.

In the past, when Jia Zhen was still alive, she did often send money to You's house.Now that Jia Zhen is gone, without the personal favor of Uncle Zhen, the money returned will naturally be much less.

Brother Rong asked, "What did Madam say?"

Que'er said: "Where can my wife say anything, she is not a mother or sister. In a small family outside Shenjing, the whole family spends only 30 taels of silver a year on food and clothing. Come to relatives and send [-] taels of silver." Two silver is already the highest standard. After the members of the You family left, the wife even cursed in a low voice."

Uncle Rong sat on the kang and comforted him: "It's just about relatives, so there's nothing to worry about. The relatives are not satisfied, so we have to spend more money. Isn't it true that the Chengfu is supporting them? According to the rules, they can't say anything."

Qin Keqing said: "My lord looks down on me too much. I don't worry about these things. Those relatives come here, they should be rewarded, and they should leave. It's just that in the past, the master spent a lot of money, and some relatives There will be more favors posted. Now that the house follows the rules, the relatives have a rift instead. This is why I feel unhappy for a while."

When Qin Keqing's own younger brother lived in the mansion, she only gave Qin Zhong two taels of rewards out of her own monthly money for daily expenses.Even when Qin Zhong returned to Qin's house, Ke Qing didn't send any valuables, but only brought two boxes of pastries from Xue's house.

It's not that Ke Qing is ruthless, it's just that everything should be done according to the rules.Except for Qin Keqing's own monthly money, everything else is public accounts, so she naturally can't do something like taking money from the public account to subsidize relatives.

Keqing's actions are even approved by his wife Youshi.

Brother Rong said with a smile: "They have grievances, it's their own business. Even if these relatives take the initiative to break up because of too few favors, it has nothing to do with us."

Qin Keqing nodded, and asked: "The old lady sent Miss Yuanyang to invite you over today, what did you say?"

"Isn't it Xiayuan Festival today? The old lady invited the old nun Jingxu from Shuiyue Temple to chant sutras, but she didn't arrive after waiting, so she invited me to ask about the situation." Brother Rong laughed, " Since you're tired, it's best to rest. I'll change my clothes and go out, so don't wait for me for lunch later."

Speaking of the old nun Jingxu, Brother Rong felt angry.Mrs. Jia Shexing is like that, because she is from the Jia family, Brother Rong has no chance to trouble them for the time being.But this old nun provoked the two governments, and he will not show mercy.

He and Ruizhu Que'er waited for the servant girls to give orders, and when they arrived at the outer house, they took two long followers and drove straight to Zhongshun Wangfu in a carriage.

A person like King Zhongshun who can't rub the sand in his eyes had to ask someone to investigate after hearing this.After all, this is also a matter of connecting officials and using power to deceive others. As long as they have anything to do with officials, King Zhongshun has the right to take care of them.

The carriage of Ningguo Mansion was halfway, when Uncle Rong called to stop it.Secretly said: "Today is the New Year's Eve. Is it not good to visit empty-handed? If I had known earlier, I would bring a box of pastries from the mansion as a door-knocking gift."

A follower named Shi En asked, "What happened to the uncle?"

Uncle Rong raised his eyebrows and said, "Turn around and go to the outer city to find a pastry shop."

"..."

King Zhongshun saw the carriages of Ningguo Mansion parked at the door with the servants outside the door, each of them seemed to be facing an enemy.The gatekeepers discussed in a low voice, and they pushed out a person very friendly, and asked him to go to the carriage.

Another guard scrambled and rushed into the palace, and shouted in a panic: "It's not good, it's not good, someone from Ningguo Mansion has come to complain again."

Jia Rong, who just got out of the car, heard the guard's cry from a distance, and her brows jumped.What the hell...who came to your Ningguo Mansion to complain?Am I that kind of person?

Brother Rong's complexion is very bad, it's strange to be able to get better if he is misunderstood like this.Pulling his face, he looked at the stammering and hesitant guard of the royal palace, and asked, "Is the prince in the palace?"

The guard who came over to ask a question loudly said, "What are you going to do? You can also ask about the prince's itinerary? Hurry up and leave, this is not a place where you can be presumptuous."

These guards working in the Zhongshun Palace are not afraid of anyone from the Duke's Mansion, but they are afraid that the people from the Ningguo Mansion will come to play tricks.

The guard had a psychological shadow. He knew about the conflict between Ningguo Mansion and Zhongshun Prince Mansion a few months ago.At that time, there was such a big commotion that the entire capital of Shenjing was rumored to be buzzing.It is said that the Zhongshun Palace insulted the Ningguo Palace, but the children of the Ningguo Palace ran to the door of the Zhongshun Palace to beg for mercy.

Is that begging for mercy?
That frankly ruined the reputation of Zhongshun Palace.

However, the Wangfu cannot drive them away, otherwise the Zhongshun Wangfu's reputation of bullying the Ningguofu will be fulfilled.

The guards are about to cry, damn it.Why is he guarding the gate by himself on this day, and people from Ningguo Mansion came to make trouble.So fucking unlucky...

Jia Rong didn't have golden fingers that could listen to people's voices, so how could she guess what the guard in front of him was thinking.Although he looked at this person with a bad attitude, he didn't care about it from the bottom of his heart, thinking that the guards in the palace were different.He only said: "Did someone go in to deliver the report just now? I'll just wait here."
