Feng Ziying complained, then saw Jia Rong standing in front of him, came up to greet him, and said, "Brother Rong, why do you have time to come here?"
"Next door is the responsible Huangzhuang, not far away." Brother Rong laughed and said, "Uncle Pan thought that Uncle Shi would not come, and it was not early, so he set sail first."
Feng Ziying sighed, "This guy. I don't know how long it will take for him to return to Beijing after leaving. How could I not come to see him off?"
Brother Rong joked: "If Uncle Shi wants to see him, he can take a boat over right now and he should be able to catch up in half a day."
"He is the older one, but he just thinks that in the past, Shenjing would have lost a bit of fun without him. I don't know what a good day it is today. Brother Pan is going to Jiangnan. And Xianmei from Wanhua Tower is also He disappeared. If I hadn't known that Miss Xianmei disdained this guy, I would have thought that the two of them had made an appointment to elope."
Feng Ziying sighed and continued to joke.
Jia Rong hasn't been to Wanhua Tower for many days. Last time she heard Duan Yu mention Xianmei.
"It must have been bought back by some shady brother, so that Caiwanhualou can publicize it like this, so as to stop the thoughts of you princes and brothers."
"Bah... we don't have anything to think about. Can we really raise a pure husband outside? We can't do this, I'm afraid I will be beaten half to death by my father at home." Feng Ziying laughed, "Brother Rong, on the other hand, No one is in charge, even if you bring the Qinghuan back to the house to be your concubine, no one will say anything."
Brother Rong quickly shook his head, this was no joke.
Qing Guanren as a concubine?
Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng are two jealous people who must make a splash. When the time comes, the house will be filled with the smell of jealousy, which will be really uncomfortable.
"Uncle Shi, please don't laugh at me. That Xianmei and I have never met each other before. These days, I have been working in the water conservancy camp. Those who face the earth and turn their backs to the sky every day cannot enjoy such happiness."
When Feng Ziying heard Brother Rong mention the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion, her face changed slightly. He pulled Jia Rong over and asked, "I heard that Brother Rong gave Brother Lai a lesson a few days ago?"
"Has this matter reached Uncle Shi's ears?" Brother Rong replied with a half-smile, "Could it be that Uncle Shi is having a affair with Lai Shangrong?"
Feng Ziying said: "In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just a deal. The price is high at a discount and the low price is raised. If we can't reach an agreement, we just don't talk about it. Why go to this point."
Jia Rong asked lightly: "To what extent?"
"From what Shang Rong said, Brother Rong wanted to prevent him from becoming an official. Grandma Lai once served the old lady in Rong Mansion. Regardless of other things, she worked hard. Now her grandson has finally become a promising man. , suddenly there is no hope, I’m afraid Lai’s family is heartbroken.”
Jia Rong sneered and said: "I'm afraid Uncle Shi doesn't know what the brother of the Lai family said. He said that I am the brother of the Ningguo Mansion and he is the brother of the Lai family. How can our Jia family control what he does?" "
"This..." Feng Ziying also smiled bitterly, which was indeed a bit outrageous. If it weren't for the favor of the Jia family and the two houses, Lai Shangrong wouldn't have the good life he has today.
Brother Rong said again: "If that's all, I won't care about him. He also told his uncle that when it comes to seniority, I, the inheritor of Ningguo Mansion, have to respectfully call him uncle. I also I know that Uncle Feng Shishu has a wide network of friends and can talk to everyone, and he is also close to Lai Shangrong. But since he said such things, I must let him see what the Lai family brother is without the Ning Rong family."
Feng Ziying asked: "What does Brother Rong want to do? Do you really want to punish him?"
Jia Rong shook his head and said: "Uncle Shi wants to save him?"
"How could it be? In the final analysis, Lai Shangrong is just Grandma Lai's grandson and Lai Da's son. My relationship with Ming was based on the Jia family's face and Lai Da's face. Since Brother Rong doesn't like him, why should I? If we try to catch him again, wouldn't it damage the relationship between our two governments?"
A son of a prince like Feng Ziying could see it clearly than anyone else. The Lai family relies on the Jia family to live their lives. Without the help of the Jia family, the Lai family is nothing. The Feng family and the Jia family are family friends. How could the relationship between the Feng family and the Ning Guofu be ruined just because the same family gave birth to a son?
Jia Rong smiled and said: "I was thinking yesterday if I met Feng Shishu at the dock today, whether he would intercede for Lai Shangrong. With Shishu's words, I feel relieved."
"What are Brother Rong planning to do?" Feng Ziying looked at the expression on Jia Rong's face. Although she felt a moment of silence for Lai Shangrong in her heart, it was not deep.
"There is not much calculation. I just asked some colleagues from the Zhongshun Palace to help me check what Lai Shangrong has done in the palace over the years. I also asked Aunt Lian to settle the accounts and find out what the Lai family has done in the Rongguo Palace over the years. The share is calculated.”
Feng Ziying grinned and said: "The officials in each government will make some money, but how can they really be crystal clear? Even if there is some oil and water from it, the old lady knows it in her heart. It has always been nepotism, don't do it It’s better to make the water as clear as possible without fish.”
Brother Rong said politely: "My servant's service and the master's gift are all kindness. But the brother of the Lai family has benefited. Not only is he ungrateful, but he also ruins the reputation of the Jia family. This is nothing! He still needs to be in the Jia family. He shows off his power and is not soft-spoken in front of me, so how can he be easily let go. In the future, if the servants of the two houses follow his example, won't they all develop white-eyed wolves?"
Feng Ziying sighed and said: "This man is a little ignorant, and he is not in tune. In the past, when I drank with him, I was polite to him. I didn't expect him to be such a person. Brother Rong can take care of these things." , I will never meddle in other people’s business.”
After listening to what Jia Rong said, he almost understood what Brother Rong was going to do. The Lai family only relies on the prestige of Nanny Lai and brothers Lai Da and Lai Sheng in Ningrong and Rong. If the people they can rely on such as Nanny Lai are eliminated at once, how can Lai Shangrong still have a good life?
The so-called isolation and helplessness, without the protection of the Jia family, how long can a brother like Lai Shangrong be able to live freely in Shenjing?
"Uncle Shi, do you blame me for being too merciful?" Brother Rong asked with a smile.
Feng Ziying shook her head. This was a family matter of the Jia family, and there was no way he could get involved. Now that Jia Rong is one of the most promising people in Eight Miles, everyone will only agree, how can they go against Jia Rong.
He knows very well that friendship is friendship and interests are interests. Moreover, to be honest, he and Lai Shangrong had no friendship.
Feng Ziying said calmly: "But for a child who has lost his nationality, no matter what he does, it is not too much."
Brother Rong nodded.
There are so many people in this world who cannot recognize themselves. The so-called circles are different, don't force integration. For Feng Ziying, Xue Pan, and even Jia Baoyu, Lai Shangrong is just a dispensable role.
Maybe Lai Shangrong thought that Feng Ziying recognized his identity by calling him brother. In fact, it is just politeness when meeting.
These sons of princes can be friendly with others, but it is difficult for them to be friendly with people like Lai Shangrong. But Lai Shangrong thought that after drinking at the same place and calling them brothers by changing their name tags, they really became brothers.
is it possible?
Jia Rong looked at the boat in the Qinghe River and said to Feng Ziying, "It's time to go back to Huangzhuang for duty. It's not appropriate to stay too long."
"Let's go, it's time to go back to Shenjing. I rushed so slowly that I didn't see this guy once. I'll wait for him to come back and settle the accounts in detail." Feng Ziying laughed, not worrying about Lai Shangrong's affairs at all, and said: " After Brother Rong is busy for a while, we can go to the house to chat."
Seeing Feng Ziying come and go in a hurry, Jia Rong laughed helplessly. He asked Brother Qiang to take Master Qin Ye back, while he ran to the side of the carriage.
"I have always heard that the eldest sister is like mother, but I have never heard that the younger sister is like mother. Uncle Pan has a sister like Aunt Bao, which is really enviable and saves a lot of sorrow."
The person sitting in the car was Xue Baochai, but she did not reply to Brother Rong's words and told Ying'er to go back.
This girl still remembers the grudge she took off her socks last time. Brother Rong shook his head secretly, I didn't say anything when I smelled the smell, but she was the one who got angry.
Brother Rong has been living normally these past few days. Things in Shuili Yingtian Mansion are proceeding step by step, and Wang Xifeng is also quite busy, but Qin Keqing seems to be a little out of sorts these days.
Brother Rong came out of Huangzhuang and went to Sister Feng's courtyard in Xifu. When he came back, he saw Qin Keqing taking a nap on the kang.
"Grandma has lost a lot of energy in the past few days. We have to go find the imperial doctor, but she refuses to bother." Little Que'er complained to Grandma Rong when she saw him in front of him.
The little Que'er pouted and said: "Que'er is also doing good for grandma, but grandma blames me for letting other men come into the yard when the uncle is not in the house. She refused to see the imperial doctor, so the silly girl and I went to the Xifu to invite the imperial doctor. Grandma I don’t want to see him either.”
Brother Rong asked: "What happened?"
Que'er was afraid of disturbing Grandma Rong from her nap, so she pulled Grandma Rong and whispered: "Grandma can't eat much these days. Today I touched Grandma's forehead and it was also very warm. And... usually it will be done on the first few days of the month. Prepare some sugar water, it’s already the middle of the month, but there’s still no movement from grandma.”
Brother Rong looked at Qin Keqing on the kang, his face was rosy, but he didn't look like he was sick. But in my heart, Xiao Queer said that it was really abnormal.
He quickly took the sign to Xiao Que'er and said: "You are also familiar with Prince Zhongshun's palace. Take the sign and go there while the night is not dark. It would be best if you can see the princess, and you can't directly talk to the eunuchs in the palace. I explained grandma’s situation and asked the royal doctor from the palace to come over for diagnosis.”
After receiving the order, Xiaoqueer hurriedly left the yard, called a carriage outside the door and ran towards the palace.
Jia Rong couldn't bear to quarrel with Ke Qing, so she gently covered her with the quilt, sat down next to her and waited for the imperial doctor to come.
"Uncle is back?" Qin Keqing was still awakened by this slight movement, showing a lazy smile.
"Keep lying down, don't get up." Brother Rong helped her continue to lie down, scolding: "You are a good person, why do you learn to hide your illness and avoid medical treatment? I asked Que'er to go to Prince Zhongshun's palace to ask for a doctor. , it shouldn’t take long to arrive.”
Qin Keqing said: "The lights are on in the palace, why bother others to go there? It's just that I'm tired these days, a little weak, and I can't make such a fuss. I went to the palace to talk about such a small matter, the prince and The empress still doesn’t know what to think about me, so it’s not good to leave a doting and coquettish impression.”
"My daughter-in-law's health is not a small matter, it is the biggest thing in my heart. You are still my goddaughter. If you are sick, she should know the situation."
Qin Keqing let out a light sigh and leaned on Uncle Xunrong's legs while yawning.
"Qing Jing and Uncle Pan have already left the capital?"
"We left yesterday. We should have reached the boundary of Jinmen by this time, and we will reach the boundary of Ping'an Prefecture in a few days." Brother Rong gently stroked Keqing's hair that was messed up when she slept, and combed it carefully for her, and said: " I have already told Qing Jing that no matter whether the location of Ping'an Prefecture is feasible or not, let him go back."
"Let me worry about it." Qin Keqing smiled sweetly, rubbed her little head against Uncle Rong's leg, and found a comfortable position. Asked, "Is the Lai family's affairs settled?"
"What do you care about this?" Uncle Rong asked curiously.
"It's not only the affairs of the outer house, but also related to the inner house. Why can't I take care of it?" Qin Keqing said leisurely: "Aunt Lai is also a very considerate person in the two houses. Even the housekeeper Lai is also very considerate. Yes, why did the Lai family have such a brother?"
Uncle Rong didn't accept her trick and said with a smile: "Who came to you to intercede again?"
"I can't tell you what the uncle has decided. Although everyone from Lai came to see me, I shook my head and didn't know what to say. I just felt a little emotional in my heart. If the uncle really wants to touch the brothers of the Lai family, Xifu The old lady can't even explain it. In the eyes of those ladies, the Lai family members are all close assistants in the government, so how can they just quit at their own word."
"That's why I didn't rush to touch him, lest the people in Xifu say that I'm trying to make trouble for myself. If someone intercedes again next time, just accept it." Brother Rong smiled and supported Ke Qing. The arm said, "Keep squinting for a while and stop thinking about these things. Wait until the palace doctor comes over and takes a look at the specific situation."
If you want to touch the Lai family, you must kill them quickly. If people like Aunt Lai and Lai Da are kept in Xifu, even if Lai Shangrong can no longer be an official, will he still be attached to the Jia family to suck blood from now on?
Although he was sucking the blood of Rong Guofu.
When Jia Rong just didn't want the Lai family to have an easy time, everyone with the surname Lai was confused and felt uncomfortable.
This matter needs to be dealt with slowly and let the Lai family relax for a while. When they relax their vigilance, catch them off guard when they are most proud.
Nowadays, when Uncle Rong does things, he doesn’t just do them on a whim.
Although this can temporarily relieve anger, the consequences will always lead to a lot of trouble. Jia Rong is most afraid of trouble afterwards, and would rather have a little trouble in the early stage and do things steadily step by step.
Once and for all.
After about three quarters of an hour, Xiao Queer finally brought someone over.
"Why is Aunt Jiayi here too!"
The person called Aunt Jiayi is an old palace maid in her twenties and thirties, who has been serving Princess Zhongshun all these years. She hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, please lie down quickly. After listening to the girl's report, I thought that my sister was probably pregnant, so she asked us to wait for the royal doctor to come."
Brother Rong also bowed to Aunt Jiayi, but the old palace maid quickly avoided it and smiled: "Master Rong, please don't offend me. This will reach the ears of the Thirteenth Master. I blame the people in the backyard of the palace for showing off their identity in front of you." .”
He also called the imperial doctor to come in and diagnose Qin Keqing's pulse.
