Taking a closer look at the slender figure, he looked more and more familiar. What's more, it's as if the gentle touch from the dream remains on my hands. Gently shake hands and catch the cool breeze, which slips away between the palm prints and fingers.
empty.
Jia Rong smiled bitterly, even his dreams were ridiculous after drinking too much. Seeing Li Wan turn into Rongxi Hall, there was no one on the road, so he tightened his coat and continued to go to Sister Feng's children's courtyard.
He also didn't know that after entering Rongxi Hall, Li Wan's legs stopped, his lips parted slightly and he slowly exhaled a long breath. Grandma Zhu, who had been widowed for many years, touched her face with her hand, and felt warmth on her cheek from the back of her hand.
After standing there for a moment, Li Wan regained his composure, walked out of the Rongxi Hall and set foot on the road to the courtyard.
The path leading out from Rongxi Hall is very short.
Li Wan walked for a long time, and even though the cold wind was blowing outside, she moved forward slowly and steadily. The maid Suyun lowered her head and did not dare to look directly, and followed closely behind with small steps.
A master and a servant are like a pair of snails moving slowly. When we reached the intersection, we saw Uncle Xiao Rong turning into the alleyway. Li Wan couldn't help but take off the cloak on her head and let the winter north wind kiss her cheek. It seemed that only the cold could calm her down.
Some things are like commandments. When you break one of them, you will be filled with self-blame and regret.
Li Wan is now in such a situation, even if she knows in her heart that nothing happened, or that what happened is excusable. But she still blamed herself and regretted it. After meeting Uncle Xiao Rong, she became even more confused. It's all because I still feel the force in my heart that I accidentally pinched when I was drunk.
It was a feeling she had not experienced in many years, and it was also an uncomfortable feeling that kept her awake all night until she woke up and changed her pajamas.
If not for Lan'er, who would be willing to live such a miserable life.
Li Wan let out a long sigh and led Suyun forward, even if the north wind messed up his hair. After returning to the room, he sent Su Yun out early and found a few scriptures to copy with a pen and ink.
In another courtyard not far away, Wang Xifeng leaned against Brother Rong with her belly puffed out. The two held each other's little hands, with tenderness in their eyes.
"Are these your Grandma Rong's exact words?" Wang Xifeng asked with a smile.
Jia Rong turned around, looked into each other's eyes, and said sincerely: "The general idea is the same, but Ke'er also thinks that Feng'er can move here. After all, it is the seed of Ningguo Mansion, so how can it be raised in Rongguo Mansion."
In the charming and passionate Danfeng's eyes, a pair of eyes slowly rotated left and right. Wang Xifeng chuckled disdainfully and said: "In the past few days, I didn't notice that she had grown a lot. She could come up with such a way to speak. I'm afraid the female officer of the Zhongshun Palace in the East Palace taught her a lot. .”
Jia Rong said: "How to involve Aunt Jiayi? Let's just talk about whether Feng'er is willing to move to Ningguo Mansion."
Wang Xifeng glanced at this silly Ronger, but it was difficult to explain the confrontation between women to him. Yin and Yang said angrily: "How could I have expected that I would find a good teacher."
Jia Rong was puzzled, but Wang Xifeng did not explain.
However, he is not a native of this world, and he has never thought about the struggles of women in the inner house. As long as Uncle Rong knows more about the inside story of the inner house, he can guess Qin Keqing's true thoughts and intentions.
Wang Xifeng is such a shrewd person. In terms of internal tactics, he is a worthy minister but no match for her. Whenever he heard what Ke Qing said, Wang Xifeng could guess Ke Qing's intentions. The seeds from Ningguo Mansion were later brought to Ningguo Mansion to be raised, and Wang Xifeng came to see them.
All Qin Keqing said were bullshit to please Jia Rong.
Mrs. Qin is the eldest grandma of the Ningguo Mansion. Mrs. Qin is now close to giving birth. Grandma Rong's status will never be shaken by her love and law. As for her second wife Wang Xifeng who cannot see the light of day, when the child goes over, should he call Ms. Qin his wife or Wang Xifeng his wife?
Or is it based on Brother Rong's contemporaries being fostered in Ningguo Mansion?
When Mrs. Qin came up with this method, she did not suffer any loss to herself, but she also made Jia Rong happy. If Wang Xifeng knew the word green tea, she would have cursed green tea bitch in her heart.
Wang Xifeng didn't like this feeling of being controlled by others, so she refused: "It's the same no matter where you live. Although Second Master Lian thinks well, it's actually very considerate. It's good for me to move to Dongfu, but it won't matter if I have a child in my belly." But men and women also have to stay in Rongguo Mansion temporarily."
"What's the point of this?" Jia Rong felt depressed after hearing this.
Wang Xifeng sneered, looking like a knife at Brother Rong, and hummed: "I have also heard about Princess Zhongshun's behavior. I know that the children of the concubines and concubines in Prince Zhongshun's palace have all been raised by the princess since they were young. To put it nicely, All children are treated equally without distinction. To put it bluntly, as long as they use some tricks and show kindness and teaching, these children can grow up to have more adoptive mothers than biological mothers. Your Grandma Rong's methods have really learned the essence of Princess Zhongshun. .”
Jia Rong said: "Our children are not raised in Ningguo Mansion, so it cannot be justified to let them go to Rongguo Mansion."
"The fourth girl is being raised in the Rongguo Mansion, and the eldest sister is also temporarily raised in the Rongguo Mansion. Naturally, the content in her belly is the same. As long as the two mansions don't fall out, the eldest sister and the child can only be raised in the Rongguo Mansion temporarily."
""
Seeing Wang Xifeng's resolute attitude, Brother Rong had no choice but to do the next best thing and planned to let Sister Feng move to Ningguo Mansion first, and where the child would be raised would be discussed later.
Wang Xifeng said: "It is your turn to talk to the wives about moving to Ningguo Mansion for recuperation. Do you want to cause trouble between the two houses during the Chinese New Year? I will go to Dong Mansion to meet my sister-in-law in two days. How can I do that?" It’s impossible.”
The eldest sister-in-law in Sister Feng's mouth is naturally Grandma Zhen, Mrs. Youshi of Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Rong agreed after hearing this, and said: "My wife has always been low-key, but in fact she has many rifts in her heart, but she doesn't often show her emotions. Inviting Mrs. Dongfu to come to Mrs. Xifu to intercede is naturally much better than what you and I used to do."
Wang Xifeng said angrily: "She is naturally talented, enthusiastic in doing things, and very popular. It's not like me. I have worked hard for Xifu for several years with no benefit, and my reputation is exhausted. I should learn from her, no matter what. Whether you see it or not, you don’t know. Not only do the old ladies in the mansion remember her well, but even the servants in the two mansions have a blind date with her."
"How can I taste her again?"
"Who tastes her?" Wang Xifeng said duplicity. To say that it doesn't taste good, I'm just a little envious. Why didn't Wang Xifeng want to be like Youshi, who didn't have to worry about anything, was free and undisturbed. At the same time, she also knew that she could not learn, so she could only envy.
Jia Rong stayed with Sister Feng in the nursery for a while and heard a lot of things. For example, after Sister Feng returned home, Second Master Lian never came to the yard again. I also heard that Second Master Lian hooked up with a daughter-in-law from Rongguo Mansion a few days ago and a few days after.
Brother Rong asked: "How come you want to inquire about this information?"
Ping'er was the first to reply: "We went to inquire about it. The maids in the mansion took the initiative to send the message. The second wife also came to ask, but she didn't care about what Second Master Lian did. Grandma didn't care about it after she returned to the second wife. The second wife’s face turned dark.”
Jia Rong doesn't care what happens to Mrs. Wang.
But Wang Xifeng knew the reason why Mrs. Wang was so dark. Firstly, she stated that she would no longer take care of Mrs. Wang's house in the future, and secondly, because Mrs. Wang also knew that the child in her belly was not Jia Lian's.
Although Mrs. Wang said nothing, the aunt-nephew relationship between Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng turned cold. This was also one of the reasons why Wang Xifeng did not agree to let the child in her belly be raised in Ningguo Mansion. There was another Mrs.
It’s okay for Wang Xifeng to go to Ningguo Mansion to rest, but it’s not okay to send the child to Ningguo Mansion to be raised.
The two reached a consensus for the time being that Jia Rong should not stay here longer and left Wang Xifeng. Then he pulled Ping'er to chew some food outside the door and told her to settle the accounts in detail after she moved to Ningguo Mansion.
After hearing this, Ping'er straightened his clothes and took a few breaths before entering the room to serve Sister Feng.
When Jia Rong came out of Wang Xifeng's courtyard, she saw that the door leading to the other courtyard was closed. What was even more strange was that the door of Grandma Zhu's courtyard at the end of the road, Li Wan, was also closed.
Brother Rong also wanted to talk to Li Wan and ask about Mr. Li's situation in the free school.
We turned back on the original road and reached the fork in the road, where we saw Aunt Xue leading Xue Baochai out from the side of Rongxi Hall. Brother Rong said hello, Aunt Xue replied with a smile, and Baochai only nodded coolly.
He curiously asked about Xue Pan's whereabouts and learned that Xue Pan, Feng Ziying and several others were playing in Baoyu Courtyard, so he did not continue to ask.
The three of them walked together for a while and saw Aunt Xue entering an independent courtyard to the east of Rongguo Mansion. They also knew where the Xue family lived. He secretly patted Baochai, and Ying'er next to him lowered his head, pretending that he didn't see anything.
Xue Baochai groaned, glanced nervously around and saw no one, then glared at him angrily. Without speaking to Jia Rong, he led Ying'er into the courtyard through the private door.
Jia Rong returned to the mansion and heard that the Qin family master was finally invited over and was entertained again. After asking about the situation at the Shenjing cement kiln, I learned that the kiln has been studying how to increase the output speed of the cement kiln, and asked Mr. Qin Ye to move to Ningguo Mansion.
It's a pity that he was rejected. Qin Ye felt that he was not used to living in Ningguo Mansion, and he felt even more uncomfortable. After chatting about the recent correspondence with Qin Zhong, I realized that Qin Zhong was already able to take charge of his own affairs at a young age, and I felt even more grateful to Jia Rong.
Noon after eating, Qin Ye returned.
The days of Chinese New Year are the same as usual. It's just that on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year this year, Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing, and Jia Rong did not go to Wang Ziteng's house, but they invited the Xue family to bring gifts and told them about Keqing's labor situation.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, it was still dark, and the Ningguo Mansion was already brightly lit, with busy servants and maids walking nervously. As if something terrible had happened, Jia Rong, who was still sleeping, was woken up by the little bird that came in a hurry. Youshi in the courtyard next door also started to change clothes nervously.
The panicked crowd hurried to the courtyard where Qin Keqing lived.
In a courtyard forgotten by many people, Jia Jing woke up from his meditation early, making gestures and then counting in his head. However, I couldn't calm down and couldn't help pacing back and forth in the clean room, waving the dust fly again and again in my hand.
He kept muttering: "Men, men, men."
When Jia Rong got the news and rushed to the main courtyard, he was not dressed neatly and looked embarrassed.
"Uncle, don't go there."
Uncle Rong, who was thinking about his wife, rushed through the door anxiously, causing everyone in the room to tremble. Fortunately, the maids and women hurriedly stopped him and refused to let him in.
"Get out of the way, get out of my way. Ke'er, Keqing"
No one in the Ningguo Mansion had ever experienced such a battle. The last time someone was added to the manor was when Xichun was born several years ago. I have never seen the male owner eager to break into the delivery room. Even all the female officials and nuns in the palace were stunned by this sudden fright.
Jia Rong is worried. At this moment, he was so scared that he even didn't dare to face it.
He even regretted why he knew useless information such as the life-and-death difficulties of pregnancy and childbirth for women in ancient times. The more I know, the more scared I am; the higher the proportion of accidents I hear about, the more worried I feel.
He had never been so flustered or at a loss. He only had one thought: to see Keqing.
"Uncle", the thin and thin little bird hugged Jia Rong's body tightly. However, although this maid had learned some things, she was still a little unable to deal with the adult man who was frustrated and reckless.
When Xiao Que'er was holding Jia Rong tightly, from the corner of her eye, she saw Xiang Ling still in a daze outside, and cursed: "Silly girl, come here and help hold the uncle back."
"Let me go in." The people inside were holding the door tightly, and Jia Rong outside had two maids hanging on her body, so she couldn't open the door.
During the commotion, there was a commotion inside.
Jia Rong became even more nervous and said: "Let me in quickly."
Just in time, Youshi, who came over, saw the noisy scene in the courtyard. The good-tempered Bodhisattva shouted angrily: "It's all noisy."
The maid outside was calmed down by You Bodhisattva, but Jia Rong seemed not to hear it. She was so angry that You ran over. The handle held the back collar of Jia Rong's clothes and asked: "Do you want to harm your wife? Get aside."
Jia Rong felt a strong force coming from his collar, strangling his neck so hard that he could only retreat. I was still thinking about scolding anyone who dared to pull me, but I stopped when I saw it was Youshi.
Just listen to Youshi say: "Go to the side room and wait. You, a man, are here to cause trouble. Don't disturb your wife's mind."
Jia Rong said worriedly: "Listening to the sound of my wife's pain inside, this..."
"There are female officials and nuns from Prince Zhongshun's palace here. They are all rich people, so there is nothing to worry about. Just stay calm and don't cause trouble."
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. At this moment, Jia Rong calmed down and stepped aside. He said to the two pendants on his body: "You can come down now."
"No, just in case the uncle gets anxious and wants to rush in again. You can't let go of the uncle, otherwise it will disturb grandma's mind. Do you hear me, silly girl, for grandma's sake, you are not allowed to let go." Little Que'er hugged Uncle Rong tightly. I could smell Uncle Rong's breath and feel the warmth of Uncle Rong's body on my arm. I couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that I would never let go.
Han Xiangling always does whatever grandma tells her to do. Occasionally, I listened to Xiao Que'er's words and never let go for grandma's sake. I hugged Uncle Rong's arm tightly and stuck it tightly in the concave and convex places.
Suddenly I heard a grandma's voice coming from inside: "Grandma Rong is about to give birth, please bring some water quickly."
Jia Rong's heart tightened, and she suddenly heard Qin Keqing's cry of pain in the room. It seemed that even the white snow on the roof was shaken off by the sound, and the windows in the room seemed to tremble under the sound. Uncle Rong was so shocked that he even lost his soul. He shouted hurriedly: "Ke'er, wife. What's wrong with you? Speak quickly, don't scare me!"
The two pendants on his body felt difficult, and he saw that Uncle Rong showed signs of wearing them through the door again. Next to him, Mr. You picked up the collar of his clothes again, pulled him and explained, "This is when I got a headache. Why are you so anxious?"
What does Jia Rong know about the first and second pains in his head? But the worry in my heart didn't subside at all. Fortunately, at the right moment, Ke Qing's breathless voice came from the room: "Uncle, don't panic, Ke'er will give birth to this child for you."
I’m not nervous about the child, I’m nervous about you.
