"It's windy outside, Aunt Bao, please go back to the cabin and rest! It's a long way to the south of the Yangtze River, and sailing is difficult. If Auntie is sick, I don't know how to explain it to Uncle Pan when I meet him in the south of the Yangtze River."
The expression on Xue Baochai's face remained unchanged. He looked at the moon in the river like a scimitar, hanging above the reflection of a lantern. A gust of wind comes, the river is sparkling, the crescent moon is shapeless, and the lantern on the pole looks like the moon again.
Her heart rippled like the crescent moon of a lantern in the river, "Brother Rong, do you really not want to see me?"
"It's nothing. I'm just concerned about Aunt Bao, and I'm afraid she'll be cold." Brother Rong laughed and said, "It's not early, so I won't disturb Auntie's mood of admiring the moon any more."
Brother Rong sighed inwardly, hoping that Sister Feng would behave herself tonight. Two people would deal with one person every day. No matter how strong a man was, he couldn't bear it.
"Wait a minute." Xue Baochai felt sour for no reason when she saw Brother Rong turning around and leaving. I had been waiting for him on the boat for a long time, worried about him for a long time, and now I just saw him and wanted to leave.
I felt very uncomfortable.
Was that really that attractive to him?
"Is there something wrong with Aunt Bao?" Brother Rong stopped when he heard the sound, remembering Sister Feng's explanation in his mind. Don't get close to Xue Baochai and take advantage of what happened in the south of the Yangtze River. Sister Feng looked for an opportunity to bite off the thing, but it was not worth it.
He didn't have a deep friendship with Xue Baochai, and he had always treated her like an ordinary relative. Of course, Baochai is very beautiful, and sometimes my heart will fall in love with her. That kind of heartbeat is not an emotional heartbeat, but is caused by certain circumstances. To put it bluntly, sometimes when lust arises, you may want to take advantage.
Most men will always have such a moment, but they rarely show it and rarely take action.
Maybe it was because of the other person's glance back, or a slight smile. It only palpitates at that moment, but later, due to various reasons, this distracting thought will be forgotten.
The two turned around and looked at each other. With the faint light from the lantern on the boat, they could barely see each other's faces clearly.
Xue Baochai stood beside the ship's railing, with a lantern hanging above his head and a crescent moon hanging behind him. Under the light, Baochai's face was hazy and she looked even more beautiful.
Jia Rong admitted that his heart definitely jumped twice more at this glance.
Xue Baochai was even more nervous. She didn't know why she really screamed. That was what I said from the bottom of my heart, but I thought it would be good for Tong Rong to stand on the deck and watch the night.
"It's not an important matter." Baochai replied softly, feeling anxious and unable to find a topic. Seeing that Jia Rong was still waiting for the next words, he continued: "Are you going to visit the cement kiln in Ping'an Prefecture in the next few days?"
"Let Master Thirteen arrange it. The cement kiln here is not far away. If we really want to go there, we can turn from the canal into the Daqing River and walk in one day to get there tomorrow."
Xue Baochai asked: "Brother Rong, don't you want to go there and have a look? Let's see what it looks like now after a few months."
Jia Rong smiled and said: "How can a large kiln factory be built in a short time? Even if they have the intention to move on, it is no different if they leave. It only delays the process."
Baochai nodded, it was just a random topic. I didn’t want to talk about anything specific, I just let it go for now.
When Jia Rong heard her mention the cement kiln in Ping'an Prefecture, she also wanted to go there. The boundaries of Ping'an Prefecture are chaotic, and there is a famous resort called "Liangshan Bo" not far from the cement kiln. Although there are not one hundred and eight heroes of Liangshan there, there are saints and horses hidden in this boundary.
Do you want the Thirteenth Master to go to Liangshanbo to deter the thieves in Ping'an Prefecture?
Brother Rong secretly shook his head and let go of his thoughts. This trip to the south of the Yangtze River was to solve the disaster caused by the Huanghuai River. Although there were many people on board the fleet, it was difficult to achieve success in trying to frighten the Holy Cult. After all, the entire fleet didn't even have a cannon.
Sigh... If there were a few cannons, I would have to go to Ping'an Prefecture anyway.
The thieves of the Holy Religion have always been in a corner, trying their best to attract believers. There is no need to mess with them now, just go down to the south of the Yangtze River along the canal.
The two of them stopped talking and just stood quietly on the deck.
"It's so exciting, no wonder I didn't come back without seeing you." Wang Xifeng came out of the cabin and saw the two of them standing side by side, and her jealousy was overturned in an instant.
Jia Rong's expression changed slightly, and she explained nonchalantly: "You haven't rested yet? I thought you guys were already asleep, so you didn't bother me."
Since Wang Xifeng left Jia's house, she no longer even pretends. As long as the rest of the Xue family was away, even if Baochai was on the boat, she would not hide it. It was as if she was declaring sovereignty in front of Xue Baochai, directly showing her unusual relationship with Jia Rong.
Xue Baochai felt empty, and her good mood was ruined by Sister Feng's appearance. He chuckled and said, "Sister came just in time. She is also sleepy now, so there is room left for sister and Brother Rong."
"I am a common person who has always had a bad atmosphere, but I can't control my elegance." Wang Xifeng laughed at herself and said with a hint. "If you are not afraid of the cold, just continue to stand outside. I, Heping'er, will rest first."
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Sister is the real transparent person and can see everything clearly. Who wants to say that my sister has a bad atmosphere? Not to mention Brother Rong doesn't agree, even my sister definitely doesn't agree either."
Wang Xifeng groaned inwardly. You know, but you still want to steal a man?
He smiled and said, "No wonder my sister was so popular with the old lady when we were in the mansion."
Xue Baochai's smile stopped on his face and he said lightly: "Compared with my elder sister, I still have a lot to learn."
Brother Rong couldn't understand what the two said, but he could feel that there was something hidden in every word between them. He slipped away first as a courtesy and said, "While you guys are chatting, I will go back to the cabin to rest."
Regardless of what Sister Feng and Baochai thought on the deck, he left without looking back.
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Sister, please go to bed earlier. My sister is old and can't stay up long at night. She won't be here to accompany her anymore."
How long can you last?
Who was making trouble until midnight yesterday and still imitating bird calls?
Xue Baochai felt blocked and returned to the room leisurely.
Wang Xifeng knocked on Jia Rong's door.
What is supposed to come has come!
Uncle Rong sighed helplessly. "coming."
"Tell me honestly, do you have evil thoughts about her?" Wang Xifeng snorted.
"She treats everyone the same. It's just a chat outside. She doesn't have any bad intentions." Brother Rong said truthfully, "After working hard for several nights in a row, what else can I think about."
Wang Xifeng spat at him and laughed again. "Are you unhappy at night?"
Brother Rong's face turned red. From now on, you have to take your little bird with you when you go out, otherwise you will be despised by women.
"You will look good in the future."
"I'm tired too. I won't bother you today. Just lie down and talk!"
How nice that is. Brother Rong breathed a sigh of relief and patted the bed to signal Sister Feng to come over.
"Don't make trouble." Sister Feng patted Jia Rong's hand away.
Jia Rong has never been an honest person and has a thick skin. He will let go even if he is disliked. He leaned against Sister Feng's head and said: "This time when I go to Jiangnan, I will definitely have to travel back and forth between Huai'an and Yangzhou, and I will have to go to the Lin family at least. Have you heard from Yangzhou recently? Is Second Uncle Lian still there?"
The Governor of Water Transport is in Huai'an, the salt transport is in Yangzhou, and the Liangjiang Festival is in Jinling.
Now that Thirteenth Master has arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he must inspect water transportation and salt administration. It also happened that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, Lianghuai was an important place for salt courses, and King Zhongshun also came with multiple tasks.
Jia Rong went to Yangzhou. Is it possible that he really didn't want to visit Lin's house? Wang Xifeng went south to Jinling and also planned to go through Yangzhou.
When the time comes to meet Jia Lian, it will be very embarrassing.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Are you afraid now? A bastard who dares to steal even my aunt, is he still afraid of a second uncle?"
Jia Rong pinched her, causing Sister Feng to scream. He said: "It's always embarrassing when we meet."
"Just take it one step at a time. So what if he knows about it? He can't publicize it, and even if he is angry, he can only remain mute. I don't think he will be proud. No one will care about Gao Le in the future."
No one who has been cuckolded can be proud after knowing it. Even if the two of them have no feelings for each other, most men can't accept it. Wang Xifeng is a serious legitimate wife, and it is also about a man's dignity.
Brother Rong said: "When we arrive in Jiangnan Province, we still have to avoid suspicion. Feng'er will go to Jinling with Aunt Bao first. The Thirteenth Master and I have dealt with matters in Huai'an and Yangzhou, and we will also go to Jinling to find you."
"Come on. You are a bodyguard, you don't have time. You don't have to follow wherever the prince goes. Don't worry about Jinling's affairs. As long as I'm here, the Xue family can't cause trouble."
Seeing Wang Xifeng's confident look, Brother Rong was speechless. He is still convinced of Wang Xifeng's ability, especially for catching such conspiracies and tricks, and he is naturally sensitive.
Jia Rong hummed, and the two cuddled up and fell asleep.
…………
Jiangnan Province, Yangzhou Prefecture.
"Why did she go to Jiangnan? Shouldn't she be in Shenjing?" Jia Lian, who had sent the letter to Shenjing, was stunned. After only half a year of good life, why did this evil star escape to Jiangnan?
Jia Lian said to himself: "Maybe the evil star came to catch me."
"It shouldn't be! She is so powerful in Shenjing, how can she care about me? Besides, my brother-in-law is sick, and no one from the Lin family has reported to Shenjing."
Second Master Lian could not figure out why Wang Xifeng came to Jiangnan.
Although the letter said that Sister Feng had cooperated with the Xue family and Ning Guofu to build a cement kiln in Jinling. But he still couldn't believe it. It is enough for the Xue family and the Ningguo Mansion to deal with the matter of building the kiln. She, the housekeeper of the West Mansion, is not taking care of her at home, so what is she going to do outside?
Was it because he had been away for too long that he became suspicious?
Jia Lian’s head is fried!
Go to the Lin family and ask, "Is the Xue family still in Yangzhou?"
A servant of the Lin family replied: "Uncle Pan went back to Jinling to buy things two days ago. The second master didn't come back all night that day. Uncle Pan had a busy schedule, so he didn't wait for the second master to come back."
When Mr. Lian received the letter from Shenjing, he immediately lost all interest in having fun.
Urgent!
Do you want to hide outside for a few days?
That doesn't work, no excuse.
My brother-in-law is still sick, how can I run away directly.
Sad.
Jia Lian hated him again. In the past, he could only take care of himself in the house, but he also chased him to the south of the Yangtze River. There is no old lady in Jiangnan to protect her. One day she will smash the vinegar jar to see if she is still powerful.
"Sister Feng and Brother Rong are coming to Yangzhou?" Lin Daiyu looked happy after hearing the news. He asked hurriedly: "When will you come over, and how many days will it take?"
Zijuan smiled and said: "Uncle Xiao Rong came with King Zhongshun. They have a large army and their calculations should not be as fast as when we came back. They can also come to Yangzhou in mid-June. By then, the girl can also see her I’m looking at Uncle Xiao Rong.”
"Who wants to see him?" Lin Daiyu looked thinner than when she left Shenjing. She also grew taller and looked like a big girl.
Xue Yan joked: "Girl is close to Second Grandma Lian, so naturally she wants to meet Second Grandma."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she became even more suffocated. Let the girl Chunxian go and get the original letter. .
"I haven't received a letter for more than half a year. She said she was thinking about someone. I'm afraid she has forgotten it." Lin Daiyu read the letter, went back to the room and took the little girl carved by Uncle Xiao Rong to sulk. "Now that he has made a career and has become the prince's personal bodyguard, even if he arrives in Yangzhou, he will not have time to visit people like us."
Zicuckoo smiled and said: "Your Majesty is not only the Prime Minister of Shuitian Mansion, but also leads the Ministry of Internal Affairs and supervises the salt class. Now that he comes to Yangzhou, he has to come to our mansion. At that time, Uncle Xiao Rong also came with us."
"Is it rare to come with someone else?" Lin Daiyu snorted, finally setting up the wooden sculpture of Xiao Daiyu, and went out of the yard with a slight smile hidden at the corner of her mouth.
The three maids Xueyan, Zijuan, and Chunxian were silent and quickly followed Miss Lin's pace.
One of them thought that the girl had never smiled as much as she does now after hearing the news about Mr. Bao.
"Smile?"
Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, raised the corners of her mouth and asked, "But is this so?"
"Forehead……"
Jia Rong, who was on the deck, stopped painting and said helplessly: "Can you be kinder? Your smile is visible to others, so there must be no misunderstanding. I thought it was because of something you were planning in your heart, that's why you sneered on your face."
Sister Feng glanced at Baochai next to Jia Rong, wasn't she planning something? The two of them were getting along so well, so why did she come over to join in the fun? She didn't see that even Ping'er stayed behind.
No eyesight!
Xue Baochai didn't know what Sister Feng was feeling, so she smiled beside Brother Rong and said, "Sister is sitting on the bow of the boat, letting the golden sunset shine on her face. She looks like a fairy in the heaven. I think Chang'e in the moon palace is only as beautiful as this."
Sister Feng said: "A girl's mouth is the best at pleasing people, how can an elder sister compare to a younger sister?"
Baochai was not annoyed after hearing this, but instead gave guidance to Jia Rong. Wang Xifeng was even more angry, and the faint sneer on the corner of her mouth remained unchanged.
Jia Rong had a vague feeling about it, so she put away her brush and rubbed her belly in a pretentious manner. Said: "Are you hungry? It's time to ask them to bring food."
Xue Baochai said: "When we come to Zhending Mansion, we have to try some famous dishes of Zhending Mansion. Last time we went to Beijing with my mother and eldest brother, we stopped here. I know that there is a dish here called hot meatballs, which has a certain meaning in the name. It’s called ‘hot’, but it’s a cold dish. Even though it’s called meatballs, they’re not round. It’s very interesting!”
Hot meatballs?
Brother Rong saw Wang Xifeng slightly squinting his eyes, and his gaze glanced downwards at him, and he felt a chill in his lower body.
There is nothing wrong with eating, so I prefer to eat cut-off meatballs.
Brother Rong quickly said: "Is there anything else?"
