Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "My sister is partial, how could I forget my sister? In the cooperation between your two families, our courtyard has paid ten thousand taels of silver. Could it be that you have colluded to swallow my ten thousand taels?"
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai suddenly felt a dull feeling in her heart. She glanced at Grandma Rong and had to suppress the anger in her heart. He smiled and said, "No one can forget my sister if I forget."
Jia Rong felt warm when she saw Wang Xifeng asking Xue Baochai to drink. Xue Baochai didn't care about the occasion. With Wang Xifeng here, what advantage could she get?
Ping'er was originally the protagonist today, but she drank too much, and Qin Keqing couldn't stay up late, so the drinking party broke up not long after.
Wang Xifeng was originally thinking of staying overnight with Ping'er in Yixia Pavilion, but suddenly she heard Xue Baochai asked Brother Rong to see her off, and her heart tightened for no reason.
How could Sister Feng give Baochai a chance to get along with Brother Rong? She didn't trust Baochai, let alone Brother Rong. She knew Brother Rong's temperament very well. Even though this guy had an upright face, he was quite lustful.
"Girl, I'm really happy today. I didn't even have a few drinks but got drunk first. If there is any other serious matter, let's talk about it another day, so as not to talk about it after drinking and not remember it the next day."
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "It's not really an important matter. It's just that several shopkeepers of the Xue family have heard some news in the past few days. It seems that someone else has made cement in Shenjing. So I'll ask Brother Rong first. !”
Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Rong suspiciously, her face instantly turned cold, and she asked seriously: "Is this happening? Which family took advantage of the leopard's guts."
She wondered whether Jia Rong's cement kiln would be affected, and also wondered where the leak was, so that other families also got the cement recipe. Feeling angry and anxious, I chased Baochai and asked, "Quickly tell me which family it is from."
They dare to touch Brother Rong's business. This family is really brave.
Qin Keqing is also worried about this. The cement recipe was obtained by the uncle from the sky. If it were not leaked, how could outsiders know about it. The Qin family's father and son also know prescriptions, so I hope it won't have anything to do with the Qin family's father and son. otherwise……
Que'er glanced at Uncle Rong suspiciously. With the uncle's shrewdness, how could he leak the recipe? Qin Zhong, who knows the recipe, went to Ping'an Prefecture. Master Qin Ye and Second Master Qiang were at the village. There was something hidden here.
Xue Baochai sighed, "I am also the shopkeeper of several shops, and I heard people coming up to sell them. Some were selling cement materials, and some were selling cement prescriptions. I asked people to talk to them, but these people were very cautious. Refuse to reveal the source.”
How could such a thing be revealed?
Brother Rong sighed with pretense of regret and said, "This matter probably has something to do with me."
"What's going on?" Wang Xifeng's eyes were filled with anger, like a tiger staring at its prey. I was so angry that this recipe was leaked by this bastard?
Brother Rong grinned, knowing that he couldn't make mysteries in front of Sister Feng, otherwise she would really believe it now, and later found out that her worries were in vain. There will never be a good life in the future.
Jia Rong glanced around and said, "It's not a big deal. My wife, let's take them back first. I'll discuss a countermeasure with Aunt Bao and Auntie."
Qin Keqing naturally believed in the uncle, and immediately called Xiangling to take the maid Fu Ping'er to Yixia Pavilion to rest, while she returned to the main courtyard with Ruizhu and Baozhu.
Baochai glanced at Ying'er beside him and asked Ying'er to go to Yixia Pavilion with Que'er.
Not long after, the Tianxiang Building was completely empty. Except for Que'er, who was the door god downstairs, there were no other maids or women in the building. Only Jia Rong, Wang Xifeng, and Xue Baochai were left on the second floor.
The three of them changed rooms and closed the door behind them.
Brother Rong smiled coquettishly and said to Sister Feng, "Let's calm down first. The recipe Aunt Bao mentioned must have been deliberately released by me."
Um?
Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai were both stunned.
Released on purpose?
"What are you going to do? How can we tell outsiders our family's secret recipe? Otherwise, we will have a few more opponents in vain." Wang Xifeng frowned and reached out to Brother Rong's waist.
"Ouch, it hurts... have mercy on me." Brother Rong grabbed Sister Feng's little hand and begged for mercy: "Don't be anxious, just listen to me slowly."
"Say it."
Wang Xifeng's hand was pulled away, and the other hand was pulled on again.
Seeing the two people flirting, Xue Baochai felt empty in her heart. Asked: "What on earth happened? You actually came up with such a calculation."
"Last month, many guests came to the house, and all of them were asking about cement, secretly or openly, so I suddenly came up with this idea. The cement materials in Ningguo Mansion were cleared away by the Water Conservancy Camp, and now Ningguo Mansion has no It's ready stock." Brother Rong said.
Sister Feng's eyes widened, as if she was going to have a seizure. He gritted his teeth and said, "So you want to sell Zi to ensure a sufficient supply of Shenjing Cement?"
Jia Rong is not a fool, how could such a thing happen.
"Listen to me first, okay?" Brother Rong took Sister Feng's little hand, caressed it gently and said, "That prescription is fake. I deliberately found someone to leak it. Because of the heat of cement these days, Many people are eyeing the kiln of Ningguo Mansion. Firstly, I threw this bait to attract everyone's attention, and secondly..."
Jia Rong laughed twice, but Wang Xifeng scratched her ear and said, "Speak quickly."
"Oh...it hurts. Let's say it, let's say it right now. Secondly, it will also allow those people with evil intentions to spend a lot of money in vain, but in the end they will have nothing."
Xue Baochai felt very uncomfortable when she saw the two of them being so intimate. This feeling is not envy or jealousy, it is simply because she gave up her career during the talent show, and she was already depressed.
However, Uncle Xiao Rong and Sister Feng had no scruples in front of him. They would flirt with each other even while talking about serious matters, which made them feel angry and resentful. Don’t you know what respect is? This is not Yixia Pavilion, and there is an outsider like myself present.
What a good couple.
The most important thing is that Baochai actually asked a shopkeeper of the Xue family to buy a fake prescription for five hundred taels! I was really fooled by Jia Rong for nothing, and I became even more angry.
Brother Rong only felt pain on the right side of his waist. When he lowered his head, he saw that Xue Baochai's little hand was pinching him.
Jia Rong wanted to cry but had no tears.
What's going on with this girl? Afraid that Wang Xifeng would be discovered, she quietly used her right hand to pull it, pretending to be nonchalant.
"You can't blame me. There are so many people trying to make cement. I have to throw out fake recipes to divert attention. Whoever believes it is a fool. Hiss..." Brother Rong took a deep breath, and Baochai Nizi became ill again. Pinch so hard. He quickly held Baochai's little hand and continued: "If there are still people who really build kilns and try that recipe, the crisis in our cement kiln can be alleviated."
Sister Feng's attention was on the cement kiln. She didn't take a closer look at Brother Rong's expression and asked, "What's the crisis?"
"Because everyone has seen the importance of cement. In the past, although hundreds of officials knew about cement, they didn't take it seriously. But now the water conservancy camp's big move on both sides of the Qinghe River has attracted a lot of people's attention. Shuitian Prefecture is now The only way to do this is to transform Susukatsu into fertile farmland, which involves a lot of knowledge and involves the interests of many people."
How could Wang Xifeng understand this? She looked confused.
Xue Baochai also came to her senses, and it was no wonder that Rong Geer insinuated that she was a fool. He gently kissed Brother Rong's little hand on his waist and asked, "But whoever builds dams and canals with cement will increase the price of the land in his hands."
Of course, fields with water irrigation are naturally more expensive than fields without water irrigation.
Brother Rong said: "There is another key point. This dynasty encourages land reclamation. In the past, there might only be a thin piece of land for a year, but it was not worth it. Now that canals can be built to divert water, the land that is opened up may not be thin fields. You know, after land reclamation, In the past few years, there was no need to pay taxes on the land. So many people saw the value of cement and had evil ideas."
Jia Rong heard Brother Qiang say that there are always people wandering outside Ningguo Mansion recently. Many people even asked about the raw materials purchased by Ningguofu Cement Kiln and what proportion each accounted for.
The purpose is to develop a recipe for cement.
If you throw out a fake prescription now, there will always be a few people who believe it to be true and will study it.
Xue Baochai's face turned slightly red and he glared at Brother Rong angrily. He had already let go, so why didn't he let go of his hand. Question: "A fake prescription has been leaked out, and people know about it. Are you not afraid of coming to ask for an explanation?"
"Who can prove that I was the one who instigated it? Even if they knew it was me who was behind the scenes, they could only eat Coptis chinensis in silence, unable to tell the story of their suffering. If they hadn't been greedy, how could they have been fooled by this? I already had an explanation. This is a new research, and they can’t do it because they don’t understand the secret.”
Sister Feng finally smiled and glanced at Brother Rong with satisfaction. But he hummed: "You've made me worry in vain. You didn't tell me these things in advance. Is it because you don't trust me?"
Brother Rong held Wang Xifeng's hand with his left hand and said, "If I can't trust you, who else can be trusted? Haven't they all given the real details now?"
Xue Baochai, who was holding his right hand, felt that things were not that simple. If it is just to prevent others from prying into Fang Zi, there is absolutely no need to do this. It was just Xue Baochai's guess in her heart, but she felt that as long as the Xue family would not be harmed, there was no need to say anything else.
Wang Xifeng smiled sweetly after hearing Jia Rong's reply, but out of the corner of her eye she accidentally saw the hands holding each other under the table. Suddenly his expression changed, he glanced at Xue Baochai and said calmly: "Rong'er is really a calculating person."
Xue Baochai felt guilty and quickly struggled to take out his hand. Echoing Sister Feng's words, he said, "Since Uncle Xiao Rong has thought everything through, we don't need to worry too much."
Wang Xifeng said meaningfully, "Don't worry too much about things at the cement kiln. It's just a matter in the inner house. There will be trouble in the future."
Xue Baochai's ears suddenly became bloodshot, and she felt strange that Brother Rong had just been seen by Sister Feng. I defended myself in my mind: Who wants to enter this house? I won't be as shameless as someone, just commit myself to being a child, or just steal each other's second wife.
Brother Rong asked in confusion: "What's the trouble in the inner house?"
Sister Feng sneered, looking at Brother Rong pretending to be stupid. No matter what Baochai thinks in her heart, she only believes what she sees with her eyes. He stood up and moved to Baochai's side. He joined hands and said, "It's actually not a bad thing that my sister has been ostracized today. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and some of them can be favored by three thousand."
After hearing this, Jia Rong looked at Wang Xifeng with admiration. Sister Feng can actually recite two lines of poetry?
Xue Baochai grunted and stopped talking about this topic. He chuckled and said, "It's getting late, and the clock outside has rang several times. It's time to go back and rest."
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "It's time to rest. I can't go back to Xifu today, so I'll stay in Yixia Pavilion with my sister. By the way, let's talk about some of our Jia family brothers. My sister's uncle, Cong, is also very good-looking. He is such a talented person that my sister must have never seen before. Although Brother Bao who is nearby is a few years younger than my sister, he is also blessed."
Jia Rong was stunned.
Let me go. Sister Feng is going to be a matchmaker for Xue Baochai?
Jia Cong, Baoyu?
Really good at choosing people!
Xue Baochai's smile froze instantly. Although Jia Cong has never met him, he has been mentioned several times in the mansion as a man who pardoned the concubines of the master. Although she is not a frivolous person who chooses concubines, Jia Cong does not have much good reputation in the house.
As for Baoyu!
Xue Baochai felt uncomfortable when she thought of what happened between Baoyu and Li Gui. Such a good guy, why is he breathing up and down like a slutty woman?
If you're just ventilating up and down, that's okay. Guan Baoyu is not easy to learn, and every time he tries to persuade him to make progress, he gets angry. How could her husband be such an incompetent person?
Baochai laughed dryly and said, "We can't rush this matter."
Jia Rong snickered and glanced at Wang Xifeng, and asked the two of them to go downstairs carefully. After leaving Tianxiang Tower, I sent someone to clean up. He took Que'er and sent Sister Feng and Baochai back to Yixia Pavilion.
"Why are you laughing so hard?" Wang Xifeng glared at Brother Rong.
I really can't help it.
It was not good for Sister Feng to introduce anyone to Baochai, but she chose to introduce Baoyu. Who wants to be Baoyu's wife and then have to pretend to stab Baoyu?
Or maybe I think of my husband just now cuddling in another man's arms late at night. Who can bear this?
What a crime!
"Uh..." Jia Rong trembled, and quickly grabbed Sister Feng's hand, begging for mercy: "Be gentle, breaking it will not do you any good."
Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and said, "I just saw you guys playing tricks under the table. Uncle Rong is really good at it. You also took advantage of the Xue family's sister."
"It's nothing." Brother Rong was about to cry but had no tears. He shrank down and whispered softly: "Aunt Bao is still walking in front. It's not good for her to see her."
Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "I don't want to let you go easily. Your little bird has already led her across the bridge, and she should enter Yixia Pavilion now."
Jia Rong said: "There are maids and women cleaning the house in Tianxiang Tower. It's not good to be seen by them."
"Uncle Rong is still afraid of being seen? He was very bold when he was in Tianxiang Tower just now. He held one in his left hand and one in his right hand." Wang Xifeng snorted with a cold face. She was also afraid that she would really scratch Uncle Rong, so she let go Handed. "Isn't it an aftertaste? Even after leaving the building, you were still laughing all the way."
The conscience of heaven and earth, this is not why I am snickering.
Brother Rong heaved a sigh of relief, as the threat to his vitals was gone, and he straightened his back. He took Sister Feng's hand and said, "I am not thinking about it. I just accidentally touched Aunt Bao's hand and you saw it."
Wang Xifeng snorted coldly, expressing disbelief.
