The concubine is often difficult to mess with: Prince, please make way

Chapter 42 Uncle Shen Rongguo
Close to the border of Fanyue, the environment in the field is not as bad as Jin Jiuying imagined, with green mountains and green waters, mountains surrounded by water, and mountains surrounded by water.

In such a place, fighting seems to be really difficult. If you are not familiar with Yamagata, it is easy to suffer.

The disaster situation in Hucheng was even worse than reported. Although the water has receded, traces of blisters can still be seen everywhere.

Along the way, when Jin Jiuying was approaching Hucheng, he saw hungry people everywhere, mostly old and young, women and children, and occasionally a man accompanying him, carrying burdens of all sizes on his back, ready to go. escape.

When they arrived in the city, most of the doors were closed, and it was rare to see a few people.

The rain that fell in Hucheng this time is rare in a thousand years, so this flood made this place a little unprepared. Now that Hucheng can still live normally, it is close to some residents of Xicheng.

Because the terrain there is relatively high, the water was not soaked, but most of the food from the families was donated after the flood to save other flooded families.

The county government office in Hucheng was originally located in a relatively high place, and the granary was said to be full all the time, but after the flood, it suddenly became empty, and all the rice and grain went to nowhere.

Some people here suspect that the magistrate of the county hid it, and some people suspect that uncle Shen Rong and his nephew, Li Yue, the son of sister Shen Xin, did it.

I want to wait until the disaster is over and the people regroup and rebuild their homes before selling them at a high price and extorting a sum of money.

After all, there are not many people who have food here now, but those who don't leave, if they want to continue living here, they will have to eat.

"Excuse me, is this the home of Uncle Shen Rong Shen Guo?"

Jin Jiuying circled around Tiger City, came to a large manor outside the city, and knocked on the door of that house.

Shen Rong's house is as grand as any minister's house, and even many princes' palaces are not as good as his mansion. I heard that it is outside, and there are gardens and rockeries inside.

I heard that his house is even connected to the rockery, and the basement was built from the tunnel. The basement is the same as the mansion, or even bigger, like a royal palace, or even a city.

This is a house, room furnishings, calligraphy and paintings and so on, and the price is even more expensive.

But Shen Rong didn't show off, because he was afraid of committing crimes, so he secretly coveted and enjoyed it in secret. Ordinary people would not even want to see the luxury of his house when they stepped into his mansion.

Of course, it is for people with status. Ordinary people will drop their jaws in shock when they see this house, even this gate with a few talents.

"Who are you?"

After Jin Jiuying knocked on the door a few times, a chubby man poked his head out from inside and asked her a question.

"My surname is Jin, and I come from the imperial city."

Jin Jiuying had to report the door, otherwise she wouldn't be able to enter the house.

This uncle of the country is not small, he will not meet ordinary people, and the people who come here generally cannot cross this threshold.

"Miss, wait a moment, let me report to the master again." The man replied to Jin Jiuying, turned and went back to the room.

Jin Jiuying nodded slightly, standing at the door and waiting for the news.

It is said that he came from the imperial city, Shen Rong probably will not miss him, but how he will see him is hard to say.

"Miss Jin, my master is here to invite you."

When Jin Jiuying was still thinking about who this uncle was at the door, the door opened again, and it was the same person who came out and called her.

Only this time Jin Jiuying could clearly see the man's attire. He was wearing a long blue cloth coat. He seemed to be a housekeeper or something, because the door was inside, and those people looked at him very honestly. nod.

"Miss Jin has tea first, and the master is changing clothes. He will come out soon."

That person took Jin Jiuying to an elegantly furnished room, had tea served for her, and then retreated.

After drinking one-third of a cup of tea, Jin Jiuying finally met the legendary mysterious uncle.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Jin from the Imperial City?"

Just as Jin Jiuying took a sip of tea, a voice sounded from behind.

Jin Jiuying was so frightened that he choked, this man walked without making a sound, he looked like a ghost.

The uncle in this country is not such a magical person, he is less than 1.7 meters five, not very fat, but his face is not small, his nose is flat, as if he was squashed by something, but his eyes are very similar to Shen Xin, his face There is a slight greasy shine on the skin, and the belly feels a little bit raised. Although I have worn a lot in this winter, I can still see the belly.

"Exactly, Ying'er is being polite here, Uncle Guo is in good health."

Jin Jiuying stood up, first took a hasty look at Shen Rong, and then saluted him according to the etiquette here.

"Ying'er, are you the crown prince's prospective concubine, Miss Jin Jiumei?"

Seeing Jin Jiuying, Shen Rong first greeted her, then motioned her to sit down, and asked the maid to change the tea.

Sure enough, Shen Rong was well-informed. It seemed that this uncle, who was far away at the border, was quite clear about the news of the imperial city.

"Uncle Guo praised her, Ying'er is the second child in the family, and the eldest sister is named Jin Jiumei." Jin Jiuying still pretended to be polite back to him, but guessed that he didn't know that she was the second child of the Jin family.

"No, no, Miss Jin Jiumei was born in the second room. According to etiquette, she should be the second child, and the crown princess is the one born in the main room. The regular eldest lady of the Jin family, the crown princess should not bully the old minister who is far away at the border. The news is not good. Spirit."

Shen Rong smiled and replied.

And his answer was also guessed by Jin Jiuying a long time ago. In fact, the rules of Shengyuan Kingdom are very clear.

Born in the royal family, no matter how young they are, they are still the eldest son and eldest daughter, and they are regular young ladies and young masters.

Those born in the concubine can only become young ladies, young masters, or several young ladies and young masters.

But Jin Jiuying didn't get this kind of treatment at home, because she didn't dote on her mother and didn't like her sisters, so Jin Jiumei was more respected.

It wasn't until Jin Jiuying and Jin Jiumei had a marriage contract that her status at home improved and they didn't dare to bully her.

"This is not so important in our family. Uncle Guo knows that our sisters have a good relationship. We never distinguish between them. My mother and aunt also have a very good relationship. They are called sisters at home, regardless of size."

Jin Jiuying knows that this is a common polite dialogue here, of course, these words are used to cover up the family ugliness, no matter how unfriendly the family is, they will still say it so nicely when they are out of the house.

"Well, this old minister believes it. A person like the Crown Princess who is knowledgeable and courteous, naturally lives in a family where the father is kind and the son is filial, and the family is harmonious and beautiful."

I have to say that Shen Rong is also very good at speaking. He knows that these words are a common polite reply, but he still speaks so nicely.

This nonsense is more talk than talk, it doesn't matter, so Jin Jiuying can only smile, and then bring the topic to the real business.
