Que'er is a little maid, so her demeanor naturally goes unnoticed. On the contrary, Brother Rong glanced at it accidentally, but didn't care.
"I have been in Lixiangyuan these days. Uncle Bao and Uncle Xue can both testify with me."
Sister Feng looked at him suspiciously: "The Xue family has a candidate for the palace, why are you going there for no reason?"
Brother Rong said helplessly: "It's not about the cement kiln. Although the kiln on the village is now established, the output is too small. Moreover, the price of workers in Shenjing is getting higher year by year. I want to let Brother Qiang follow Xue The family's caravan traveled to various provinces, bought several pieces of land, and built some large kilns."
When Wang Xifeng heard that she was not looking for Xue Baochai, she immediately smiled and said, "Does what Rong'er said before still count?"
"What?"
Jia Rong pretended to be dumbfounded, which made Sister Feng grit her teeth. She kicked him quietly and said angrily: "I just said that I helped you a lot, and then you turned against me and refused to recognize me?"
Qin Keqing didn't have any grudges at first, but she couldn't bear to see Wang Xifeng being so enthusiastic about her uncle. Now seeing her second aunt like this again, although her face was full of yin and yang, she felt like she was flirting. Seeing that the two of them felt uncomfortable, he said to Uncle Rong: "Auntie has helped uncle many times, so uncle should thank auntie once. Now that auntie mentioned it, no matter how difficult it is, he should take the opportunity to repay auntie. That’s right.”
No one would have thought that Qin Keqing would say such words. Wang Xifeng was even more dissatisfied when she heard it. What does it mean to repay them together? Does it mean to sever the relationship?
"Auntie, don't be offended. My wife is just thinking about my auntie's help several times, so she is anxious to thank her. She has no other intentions! If my auntie wants to take a share in the new kiln, it is not impossible, but she has not found a way yet. Touch the ground."
With Sister Feng's temper, how can she listen to Brother Jinrong's advice? His attitude became much colder and he said calmly: "It's up to you, Ping'er, let's go back home."
Alas... the little aunt is really angry!
When Sister Feng left, Qin Keqing was still unwilling to give up and said angrily: "No one is petty, it's just all kinds of choices of cause and effect. She is good, and she cares more about the uncle than Uncle Lian."
"She also has good intentions." Brother Rong said something against his will, and then said: "Second Aunt Lian has contributed a lot to your uncle's official position. Even several of the masters in their Xifu have not asked for official positions. Without her, If you come forward, how can the Wang family give your uncle a petition to ask for an official position?"
Qin Keqing pouted, nodded her head, and said aggrievedly: "It's all Ke'er's fault. She can't help you. If the Qin family is more powerful than the Wang family, it's her turn to be a good person."
"Why are you useless? You have kept the house clean these days, and even my wife praises you. Not only that, I went to my grandpa's place to say hello two days ago and talked about some trivial matters. The grandpa also mentioned that it's fortunate to have a grandson-in-law like you here. , the house is managed in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere is far better than before. He also praised me for being lucky to have such a good wife like you."
"Did your Majesty really say that?" Qin Keqing had a smile on his face, but it was just fleeting, and he said, "Sir, don't comfort me anymore. Your Majesty only cultivates immortality, so how can you know what's going on in the house?"
Brother Rong joined hands with the discouraged Ke'er and said with a smile: "Although I am cultivating immortality, I can't completely stop worldly affairs. I stay in the clean room for one or two days every month. Could it be that you have also forgotten about the first two days? Then we talked about the recent changes in the mansion, and happened to talk about the arrival of my grandson-in-law, who is the proud one in your eyes."
Only then did Qin Keqing smile. She felt that there was nothing happier than being recognized by her elders. Asked: "Is it possible for me to do two things while meditating in the clean room and care about the affairs of the house?"
Brother Rong rummaged around with his hands and said with a smile: "You also do two things. You take care of the inner house on weekdays, and you lock me up at night."
"Locked?"
Qin Keqing didn't understand it for a moment, but she remembered something after looking at the meaningful smile on Uncle Rong's face. With a red face, he said angrily: "The maids are still here and they are talking dirty words."
Ruizhu, who was next to her, looked at the quarreling grandparents with envy on her face.
Bao Zhu saw it and whispered: "I made you not seize the opportunity last time, so what's the use of acting like this now?"
Ruizhu said stubbornly: "I listen to grandma."
"My uncle is about to go on duty with King Zhongshun. He may have to protect King Zhongshun on inspections in other provinces. I don't know when I will have the opportunity in the future." Baozhu sighed, not knowing whether he was warning Ruizhu. , or tell it to yourself.
The bird in the room has been thinking deeply, not knowing what to think.
Besides, although Qin Keqing was playing around with Brother Rong, he was still concerned about this matter. Early the next morning, she wrote a letter and sent it to the Qin family. Although the Qin family is not as good as the Wang family, the master of the Qin family is from the Ministry of Industry and may be able to help him. She herself has made up her mind to put the affairs of the house in order, not only to manage the inner house, but also to take care of the affairs of the outer house in the future.
If Brother Rong knew that Qin Keqing was thinking about this, he would be speechless. He is marrying a wife, not a housekeeper. Although there are many things that you don’t need to do personally, the more things you do, the more trouble you have.
It's noon.
When Qin Keqing saw Uncle Rong coming back in his guard uniform, he asked curiously, "Why did you come back?"
"Forget it, I went to the ministry first. The chief of guards told me that I was not under their control. Then I went to the palace. The emperor was busy changing the rules and only looked up at me, asking me to stay by the Thirteenth Master's side. After leaving the palace, I went to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, but it turned out that the Thirteenth Master was not in the palace either, but instead asked the Chief Historian to send a message asking me to take two months' leave at home."
"What does this mean?"
"How do you know? This is a gift of an official, and you don't want to take office immediately. Why don't you wait until after the new year to give me a gift? Who knows what went wrong." Jia Rong felt puzzled in her heart and sighed: "Ignore him. Since I've been given two months' leave, I can't waste the time before this year."
He shook his head. Since he didn't have to be on duty in the past two months, he would take advantage of this time to make plans to buy land and build a kiln in other provinces.
He immediately left the house and went to Lixiangyuan to find Xue Pan.
"Brother Rong, are you still feeling strange these days?" Since the last time he asked for medicine, Xue Baochai no longer avoided Brother Rong, although the two were not close. But the two families were obviously willing to get closer, especially when Aunt Xue and Baochai heard that Brother Rong was going to buy land to build kilns in various places, and they made up their minds to let Xue Pan and Jia Rong cooperate together.
"I'm so grateful for Auntie's pills. There are no exceptions." Brother Rong returned the gift and asked, "Is Uncle Xue here?"
"He went to play with Brother Bao." Xue Baochai chuckled. Seeing Brother Rong about to leave, he added: "Don't be in a hurry. Brother Rong is here to talk about building kilns in various provinces? It's the same as talking to me. of."
