The ladies in the house were happy for a while, but Mr. Zheng's wife secretly frowned and got angry. In her room, she cursed someone from Dongfu several times, but even the maid next to her didn't know the reason.
Now the head of the inner house of Xifu is Grandma Zhu Li Wan. When she heard that Sister Feng was coming back, she sighed for a while. On this day, the smile on her face disappeared a little, and she seemed to be the chaste and chaste woman who was dead and gray again.
Those old men are still there as always.
Jia Zheng was not accustomed to secular affairs, so he relied on Jia She, Jia Lian, Lin Zhixiao, Wu Xindeng, Zhan Guang, Cheng Rixing and others to arrange and manipulate him. He built mountains and dug ponds, erected buildings and pavilions, planted bamboos and flowers, and set up some scenic spots. There was also a mountain and wild system. During his free time in the next court, he just visited various places and discussed the most important things with Jia She and others.
Although Jia She was in charge of all matters related to the construction of the courtyard, he often lay leisurely at home. If there was a small matter, he would call Jia Lian to take orders.
Second Master Lian became the official in charge of affairs in the mansion, but he could not restrain his leisurely mood. And because he was now free from Wang Xifeng's control, he became more and more dissolute in the mansion.
Although he went to visit her every day, he could always hook up with a daughter-in-law from the mansion to have a little fun, which made him happy. There were many delicate daughters-in-law and handsome young men in the West Mansion who were favored by him, but the money in his hands was also splashed out like water.
However, no one cares about it.
When Jia Lian was short of money, he took the engineering project to Lin Zhixiao, who was in charge of the treasury, paid the money, and was able to have fun again. In addition, the brothers, nephews and nephews in the clan who have taken over the affairs are also generous in giving gifts and favors. Mr. Lian is actually living life more freely than a god these days.
The two housekeepers Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng, as well as the two housekeepers Zhan Guang and Cheng Riching, are really taking care of the specific affairs of the villa. In order to please Jia Zheng, Zhan Guang and Cheng Riching chose a prosperous and prosperous style for the construction of other courtyards. Just as the saying goes: If you don't choose the best, choose the most expensive.
The courtyard has just been renovated, and its luxury has already been revealed.
Jiayi, the female official of the palace who stayed in the Ningguo Mansion, was also horrified to see it. After the completion of this courtyard, it should be even more grand than the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion. But because Qin Keqing had been pregnant for several months and was now closer to giving birth, she did not say these disappointing words. After hearing the news that Uncle Rong was coming back, he ordered the maids of Ningguo Mansion to clean up the furnishings.
"It is indeed a happy event."
When Grandma Rong heard the news about Sister Feng's pregnancy, she said something like this, and it was hard to tell whether she meant it or not.
After Qin Keqing ate, he reluctantly walked around in the courtyard for a while. When he was tired, he went back to his room to rest.
In the Ningguo Mansion, Grandma Rong has been out of business for a long time since she became pregnant. Most of the affairs in the house are taken care of by Rui Zhuozhu, and only when major events happen, you will be asked to make the decision. The internal and external affairs of the house are temporarily under the control of Butler Shi, and they are all dealt with as usual.
However, something happened in the mansion now, which was far beyond the scope of Butler Shi's ability to handle.
Jia Qian, Jia Qin and General Manager Lai actually returned from visiting Heishan Village in Northern Liaoning years ago. In addition to a few of them, Wu Jinxiao and his son were also traveling with them.
Jia Qin shook the snow off her clothes, her eyebrows shining with pride.
"Since Brother Rong is still on his way back, Wu Jinxiao and his son will stay in the servant's room for the time being. We can settle the accounts in detail when Brother Rong returns home."
Butler Shi took the list and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. I have never dealt with such a thing before, so I looked helplessly at Manager Lai.
Lai Sheng said: "After counting the goods and verifying that they are correct, put the goods in the warehouse and let your wife send the ones that should be sent to the backyard."
After hearing this, Manager Shi nodded repeatedly and went to take stock.
Both Ning and Rong mansions are busy in their respective affairs. Because Baoyu had such a big event at home, even his master Jia Zheng was not in the mood to ask about his book, so he felt happy.
Now that winter is coming, the city is covered with heavy snow.
Baoyu couldn't find Daiyu when he went to Lin's house, and couldn't find the person he wanted to see when he went to Dongfu. Recently, Baoyu and Zhang Hongchen got closer. When he had a little free time, Baoyu drove to Zhang Hongchen's small courtyard to have sex for a while.
In the cold winter days, Jia Baoyu and Zhang Hongchen, two sad and unclean people, avoided their long-term attendant and cuddled up in Zhang Hongchen's room in Nancheng to keep warm.
Zhang Hongchen lay down and said, "From what I heard in the past two days, it's time for your uncle Xiaorong from Ningguo Mansion to return."
Jia Baoyu arranged his clothes by himself. During these days, he learned nothing else but learned how to put on clothes by himself. I am becoming more and more proficient in which clothes to wear and how to tie my belt.
Baoyu replied: "I'll be back in a few days."
In addition to Zhang Hongchen who had ulterior motives, there were many other people paying attention to Jia Rong's arrival. Today, the Prince of Beijing and his wife suddenly visited Jia's house. The prince and his wife first went to Mrs. Shi to say hello, and then went to Ningguo Mansion alone to visit Jia Jing.
The Prince of Beijing County, who had only returned from Beijing for several months, still failed to see Jia Jing's face.
"He is becoming more and more invisible." This is how many thoughtful people in Shenjing commented on Jia Jing.
After the mistress got married, he had spent a few months of hard work, but now he was as high-spirited as the former Prince Yohitada. He called on everyone in the room to relax, "There is hope for the days to come."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."
There are all brothers in the room who are about the same age as the mistress. They are all dressed in bright clothes and have extraordinary bearing. Even the woman who accompanied her in the room had an unusual temperament. Her every move and smile were within the rules, and she actually had a ladylike demeanor. If it weren't for the hidden charm in the eyes of the girls, people who didn't know would have thought that these women were the sisters of wealthy noble families.
The mistress said with a smile: "I am in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I will need more help from you in the future."
"His Highness's words are serious and you are trying to defeat us. It is our honor to serve His Highness."
The young master was overjoyed when he heard this, and he exchanged glasses with everyone present. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said haha: "I have invited everyone here today because I have something to ask of you. I hope you will not reject me."
After everyone heard this, they asked the third master to speak clearly. These disciples of the imperial merchants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't help but look at each other, and the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
It turns out that His Highness the Prince is planning on making cement. No, the preparation said that His Highness the Prince had already obtained the cement prescription. As an imperial businessman, his job was to serve the royal family for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The mistress was also the prince and the next emperor, so they naturally fawned over him.
Lianda said: "Your Highness Jinkou, of course we will do our best. Not to mention that we are required to run a kiln together, and even our family can build a large kiln for His Highness."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became even more heated.
Jia Rong didn't know any of these things in Shenjing. He was still on the boat at the moment, nervously waiting for Wang Xifeng.
It was not until the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month that Jia Rong and his party arrived in the Gyeonggi area. Near the end of the year, they finally entered the city of Shenjing. He sent Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai to Rongguo Mansion, and then took Xiao Que'er to Dong Mansion.
"uncle!"
When he saw the yard, Jia Rong saw the person by the window.
Uncle Rong took three steps at a time and hurriedly stepped forward, saying urgently: "Don't move, be careful. Aren't we back? Why did you run out? What if you fall?"
"Ke'er misses uncle."
It was rare for Qin Keqing to show his emotions like this. Just when he was about to snuggle into his arms, he saw Ruizhu, Baozhu, Xiangling, Que'er and Aunt Jiayi, the female official of the palace, all present in the room, so he forced himself to calm down. He said in a soft voice: "I have worked hard all the way, sir. Let Ruizhuizhu wash away the dust from my body first, and then I can change my clothes and go to the palace to express my gratitude."
Brother Rong snickered affectionately, this girl actually taught him, she really looked like a grandma. He also asked about the recent affairs in the house, and thanked Keqing for his hard work this year.
Qin Keqing said: "How can I be so tired when I have some free time? In the past few months, Baozhu and Ruizhu have been taking care of the affairs of the house. The two of them have nothing to do and are timid. They all rely on their wives. It was with her kind help that I saved the family fortune for the uncle. I asked her a few times, but she always spoke kindly and reassured me and gave Baozhuruizhu peace of mind. As a result, the house has been living in peace and harmony for the past few months. , and thanks to the fact that Aunt Jiayi is always in the house, if something is slightly inappropriate, Auntie will also give the house a reminder."
Jia Rong thanked the female officer Jiayi again.
Jiayi turned sideways, chuckled and led all the maids in the room away, leaving space for Uncle Rong and Aunt Rong.
Bao Zhu and Ruizhu went to order the water to be boiled, while the other prepared things for bathing. In the end, only two silly girls, Xiang Ling and Que'er, were left in the room to accompany them.
Qin Keqing added: "In the past six months, a lot of things have happened next door. First, Uncle Bao made trouble in the school for a while, but was saved by the second wife. Now he doesn't even go to free school much. Uncle Xue's family came back two months earlier. , but came to the house to send some things from all over the world. The eldest aunt of the Xifu made the empress in the palace, and the two houses were lively for a few days. Grandmothers and ladies from several houses in the past also came to visit. A few days ago, King Beijing came back from Mobei , and also met the second aunt of the Zhen family who is the princess."
Brother Rong laughed at her. "You stay at home every day and still see so many relatives."
Qin Keqing said shyly: "The eldest aunt in the palace has been granted the title of empress. The relatives at home move around frequently. When visiting the West Mansion, they often come back to our East Mansion."
Brother Rong gently scratched her nose and asked curiously: "Why haven't I heard you talk about Princess Zhongshun? Is it possible that your godmother has never come to see you?"
Grandma Rong snorted, raised her chin slightly, and said proudly: "The empress came naturally, and often asked Aunt Jiayi to go back to the palace to report. Even the fourth princess came once, and your highness still resented the uncle for deceiving her. Something happened."
"What did I do to her?"
"His Highness complained that the uncle kept his words and did not send a story to the palace for more than half a year." Qin Keqing snickered.
Brother Rong scratched his head. "Thinking about the fact that the government was collecting songbooks in Shenjing, she refused to do so."
When Qin Keqing talked about the fourth princess, she somehow thought of Aunt Lin, who had a similar personality to the fourth princess. The smile on his face gradually faded, and he said calmly: "A few days ago, Aunt Lin's family often came to the house, but recently the visits have been less frequent. Every time I see Aunt Lin, I feel that she is full of thoughts, and the look in her eyes when she looks at me is different from before. .”
"" Brother Rong almost broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. Lin Daiyu, Xiao Nizi, is the last person who knows how to pretend to be stupid, let alone act. As expected, her secret was exposed when she arrived in Shenjing.
But I really have nothing to do with her.
Jia Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly. She reluctantly explained: "Aunt Lin is prone to random thoughts at this age. Maybe she saw Ke'er's pregnancy and thought of her mother. Or maybe she was thinking that she would be betrothed to someone else in a few years. The girl She has a lot on her mind, so we don’t have to worry about her.”
Qin Keqing said softly, but realized that things were not as the uncle said. But she didn't continue talking. Instead, she talked about the naughty guy in her belly, which made Jia Rong listen.
A harmonious burst of gentle laughter.
Qin Keqing did not mention a word about Wang Xifeng's pregnancy.
After a while, Xiaoqueer listened to the noise outside and interrupted the sweet talk between the couple.
Jia Rong left Xiao Que'er and Xiang Ling in the room to serve Ke Qing, and went to the wing next door. When I pushed the door open and went in, I saw the screen and then faced the billowing mist.
Ruizhu bowed her head in shame and called softly: "Change your clothes, uncle."
Brother Rong smiled silently and looked at the two girls carefully. Ruizhu and Baozhu have not seen each other for a long time. Now they have changed a little, but their appearance is still the same as before. The whole body's temperament is different, as if she has lost her childishness and has more feminine charm.
He said gently: "Thank you for taking care of things in the house these days and taking good care of Ke'er."
"This is what slaves should do."
Ruizhu took off the coat for Brother Rong, and Baozhu changed out of the skirt and robe for Brother Rong. Ruizhu tied up Uncle Rong's hair again, and Baozhu took off Uncle Rong's stockings.
Jia Rong hadn't been treated like this for a long time, and she felt strange in her heart.
Could these two ladies be teasing me?
Brother Rong entered this special large wooden barrel and still couldn't help but think about it. It was as if someone's hands were dishonestly probing around, and they were all going to the more nervous places. I really didn't want it to be an illusion, so I felt it carefully and quickly grabbed it when my hand reached down.
But Baozhu chuckled softly, "My uncle is scratching me so hard, please don't use so much force."
This girl
Brother Rong looked back and saw that the two little girls were all wearing thin clothes, with their sleeves rolled up and their hair tied up. The steaming hot steam turned the fair faces of the two women into a pink color. Ruizhu's face was shy, while Baozhu's eyebrows were charming.
Baozhu said: "I haven't seen my uncle for a few months. He is tanned a lot. He must have suffered a lot outside."
The thin clothes of the two women showed the appearance of bellybands underneath, and the light was faintly visible. Brother Rong pretended to be calm. He chuckled softly, shifted his gaze and said, "It's not too hard, it's just that I haven't been able to see you and your grandma for too long, and I feel a lot of lovesickness."
Ruizhu whispered: "Grandma also remembers uncle day and night."
But Baozhu said boldly: "I believe that the uncle misses my grandma. If I say that the uncle misses us sisters and the second grandma is with the uncle, there is no place for us as concubines."
This girl is really brave, and her slippery little hands even reached into the water. Brother Rong shuddered and glared. "Do you think your uncle is the unfaithful person?"
Ruizhu glanced at Baozhu secretly and replied hurriedly: "No."
Baozhu said: "We sisters don't ask for anything else. We just hope that the uncle will not forget us."
Brother Rong was teased and stood up, but the two girls were startled.
Bao Zhu has always been smarter and thoughtful than Rui Zhu, but he actually laughed and said: "Grandma told me to take care of the uncle." ChapterError
