What did you think it was?
This kind of problem can definitely be said to be the simplest in Jia Rong. But when the person asking the question was Li Wan, it became the most difficult question to answer. All of this was simply because of their special identities, the serious expression on Li Wan's face, and the warmth in Brother Rong's hands.
In just one breath, Jia Rong's expression became serious and she said extremely seriously:
"You are you, you are the palace judge, the unique palace judge. In my heart, you are the fairy I met in my dream in Tiantai Mountain; you are also the fairy in my heart who is as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon, and as bright as an autumn chrysanthemum. The goddess of Huamao and Chunsong; she is also the most demure and refined grandma in the Ning and Rong mansions. If I were forced to express my opinion about you, I can’t tell you. But I know that you will definitely be something I can’t forget, forever. There is a human being in the deepest part of his heart.”
"You..." Li Gongcai had never heard such words before. "Cao Zijian's words in praise of the goddess were passed on to me without changing a single word, and you didn't worry about blaspheming the goddess."
It's really shameless.
Brother Rong said hehey: "You are the goddess."
She knew clearly that he was telling nonsense, but it was very useful, so it would be difficult to pursue him.
Li Wan sighed and glanced down at the movement inside his shirt, but Brother Xunrong did not take his hand away. He just said: "Didn't you ask me to help you compile the agricultural book? How can we continue like this?"
"The future is bright." Brother Rong chuckled, his heart trembling. Li Wan, who is pure and low-key, actually looks a little cute if you look closely at him. There is even a hint of tenderness. This is not an illusion, but Brother Rong's real feeling and touch.
He continued: "There are several volumes in the agricultural book divided into seed selection, breeding, seedling raising, rice transplanting, fertilization, insect control, irrigation, etc., and I can't finish it in a while. I read some every day and change some. There are also soil, The climate and other issues require the assistance of the palace magistrate, and cannot be solved in one day."
"How many days will it take?"
"How many days will it take for the palace judgment to be made?"
Li Wan spat softly: "The sooner you complete your official duties, the better."
"We have made calculations for a long time. The agricultural book cannot be finalized in one or two years. It will have to be constantly revised later. I am editing it here first, and the agricultural officials from various provinces in the Water Conservancy Camp are also writing it. . Just waiting for the late rice harvest in the Yingtianfu experimental field in October, we will pick out an outstanding item, and the agricultural book suitable for the Gyeonggi area has also been drafted. The experiences of various places have been compiled into a rough draft, and agricultural officers will be sent back later. Each province conducts experiments by enclosing land and selecting methods that are suitable for the local area.”
Brother Rong smiled and moved his fingers. A special feeling is transmitted from the tips of the index and middle fingers to the nerves, which are then transmitted to the brain. A proud smile appeared on his face, and Li Wan's ears were already bloodshot and red.
Li Wan stiffened his neck and said, "You are lazy."
"I've always been diligent, as diligent as an ox." Brother Rong retorted shamelessly. His restless five fingers brushed down one after another, like strumming a string, and in a trance, he could hear wonderful sounds that were inaudible to mortals. Seeing the eggplant-shaped red agate earrings trembling under Li Wan's red ears, Brother Rong chuckled again and said: "I do agricultural books as a career. I not only have to optimize them every year. Even if I withdraw them tomorrow, I will do it today." As an official of the Water Conservancy and Field Envoy, I will also find ways to help people find ways to produce better yields."
There are no taboos on happy events, but a widow like Li Wan cannot have bad words at the same time, and she herself cannot listen to such bad words. Complain: "Say something unlucky."
Brother Rong took out his hand and shrugged.
A few years ago, the emperor only gave instructions to farmers to enter acres, and encouraged farming. Nowadays, the water conservancy and farmland management matters have begun to bear fruit, and even Gyeonggi's water conservancy has improved a lot. The emperor would not withdraw his water conservancy field envoy at this time, unless he would be transferred to the river yamen for water control one day. However, it is impossible even if you think about it. The emperor valued money and food more than managing the river.
Nowadays, I have fallen into the eyes of money.
Jia Rong took the booklet from Li Wan's hand and said calmly: "I am telling the truth. There are some things that are difficult to tell them. If Sister Feng finds out, it will be blamed for the unnecessary effort. I have no choice but to go to the palace alone." Tell me, I think the palace judge is different from them. If it is really thankless but beneficial to people's livelihood, will the palace judge support me? "
Li Wan actually wanted to say that he should just take care of himself, but looking at Brother Rong like this, he couldn't say anything against it. After recalling the words 'different from them', contacting 'support' felt like standing on the same page as Brother Rong.
It seemed that the two of them were closer to each other.
Li Wan said: "Brother Rong has the heart to serve the people, which is a blessing for our Jia family."
"Palace Magistrate, you are so kind." Jia Rong hugged him smoothly and whispered: "With the palace magistrate's support, I will definitely protect my family and never forget to think about the people."
Li Wan didn't have time to react, and suddenly felt like he was being held in his arms. If Jia Rong's hands weren't a little restless, she wouldn't even be able to figure out if something was wrong.
"Don't make trouble, the maid is still here."
"She ran away long ago."
Li Wan hurriedly turned his head and looked around. There was Su Yun's figure anywhere in the room. He could vaguely see it right outside the door.
There was a black shadow on the ground. Yinya bit her tongue secretly and said, "I knew you were making excuses and not doing any good things."
"where."
Brother Rong laughed, with stars in his eyes. When he became more and more interested, Brother Rong made a two-handed formation with both hands. Crossing the back from above, one feels the foreign silk is smooth; descending through the peach ridge of Nanshan, one feels the softness of the fabric.
He smiled and said: "Even if I make excuses, I still want the palace judge to come to this quiet place to express my feelings."
"There is no such naughty way to express your feelings." Li Wan said with shame. However, her body gradually softened, and she leaned against Brother Rong and listened to the strong heartbeat. He said slowly: "Are you really not in a hurry about the compilation of agricultural books?"
It feels so good. Brother Rong stopped making mischief and hugged her gently. He replied: "There's no hurry."
At this moment, it was as if time had stopped and space and time were frozen.
Jia Rong remembered many past events in the frozen time and space. For example, when I passed by Grandma Zhu's window that night, I had a startling glance at that perfect fairy-like person. It was a beautiful scene. Even though you could only see the back, wrapped in the heat, it was enough to make a man's heart flutter.
That passed.
He really never thought that he and Li Wan would reach this point, he just regarded it as an accidental glance. I even occasionally fantasize about what it would be like to turn around.
Now he already knows.
She is still perfect, not as perfect as if she had given birth.
He even recalled one day, a vague memory after being drunk one day. That's how I feel now, it's her, it's Li Wan.
That was absolutely unintentional.
Later...even though they met later, they were cautious about each other and avoided suspicion. Until that day, the day in Yixia Pavilion, the day when Liu Ruan went to the sky-like dream. Maybe this is fate!
Brother Rong thought so and quietly couldn't help but raise his head.
Li Wanruo felt something and looked at his face.
It was as if everything was urging me to take the next step. Li Wan also slowly lowered his head, Brother Rong thought so too. I didn’t want two sudden frog croaks to ruin the atmosphere in the room.
Jia Rong didn't want to worry about it, but the croaking voice just became more energetic. Brother Rong was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to use something to kill the guy outside who kept croaking.
Pushing open the sill window, I saw a dog lying not far outside the window, puffing out its cheeks and croaking loudly. Jia Rong picked up the case and put it on the inkstone, intending to throw it at the source of the sound.
"Don't disturb other people's good things." Li Wan said with a blush. Only she knows how difficult it is to live alone. At least there is someone to talk to in private, but in the past few years, she has not even had anyone to fight with at night.
"What good thing?" Brother Rong was puzzled.
Li Wan nodded and pointed to the side: "There are two more lying next to them."
Lying down, indeed lying down, but the posture of these two frogs lying down is not very elegant. Another word to describe it may be more appropriate - stack.
A frog hugging another frog.
The croaking one was not far away, making a sound that sounded like a protest.
Brother Rong said speechlessly: "This thing just knows how to bark. No wonder he can only bark when others are stacked."
"Don't disturb them." Li Wan took Brother Rong's hand and said. Then I looked out the window at the greenery, with bamboo forests, plantain trees, and streams forming a wonderful picture. This place is not ordinary after all. Although it is different from Daoxiang Village, it is still refreshing.
"That's right, they do their thing, let's make trouble with ours." Brother Rong chuckled, "The scenery here is nice, and there's a cool breeze, so it's so refreshing."
"Cool breeze?" As soon as Li Wan finished speaking, he felt a cool breeze hit his legs. Li Wan danced in panic when he heard two toads croaking outside.
"Quack..."
The lonely toad started to cry loudly.
Suyun outside the house couldn't help but pucker her mouth and imitate the croaking of a toad.
The sun sets. However, Suyun heard the frogs croaking in the Bajiao stream even more loudly, and the croaking sounds became one continuous sound. While bored, Suyun couldn't help but think about her future. She was already sixteen years old, and she was old enough to get married. Even if she stayed in the house, she would only have the last three years to live peacefully.
When maids like them reach this age, they are waiting to be judged by fate.
Among the girls who entered the Jia Mansion with her in the past, Yuanyang and Hubo still stayed with the old lady to serve them. Xiren became the aunt-to-be of Second Master Bao, Zicuckoo followed Miss Lin, but Keren and Jinchuan died. , Qian Xue was kicked out of the house, and Cui Lu followed Miss Smith.
People are very different.
No one can predict what will happen in the future. How many people are as lucky as Xi Ren? She Yue also entered the house together and was also in Master Bao's room, but she did not suffer the same fate as Xi Ren. Keren and Qianxue were also in Master Bao's room, but one died early and the other was kicked out.
What's the fate of yourself?
Other girls whose families are still there can still wait until they are twenty years old to be released from the house and let their parents choose their husbands. Otherwise, the master of the house would have to drag him out to provide personnel.
What's the difference between parents choosing a son-in-law and the master choosing a mate?
While Su Yun was sighing, she was awakened by her grandma's cry. I hurriedly stretched my head and looked into the room, only to see Uncle Xiao Rong and grandma bending over the desk to draw with one stroke.
I don’t know what is being drawn, so I probably can’t draw anything good. Suyun looked at it for a while and thought.
Then I heard Uncle Xiao Rong say: "Hold your pen more steadily."
Grandma replied angrily: "Who asked you to twist it?"
After hearing the noise again, Su Yun did not dare to continue watching, so she had to bend over and play with the toads that were croaking on the ground. She walked through the bamboo forest for a while, listening to the sound of the bamboo leaves chattering like the tide when the wind blew, and then walked to the edge of the banana forest.
This is where the frogs croak the loudest.
After searching for a while, Suyun saw two green frogs on the banana tree that looked different from other frogs and toads. The feet of these two frogs are so weird that they can even grasp the smooth bark of banana trees and stack them together to prevent them from falling off.
After looking at them curiously for a while, I found that they were motionless and not as lively as the ones in the room.
Hearing a sudden sound, Su Yun hurriedly looked outside and saw a group of people coming towards Cong Lutang from a distance.
who is it?
Suyun took a closer look and saw that the people walking in front were Mrs. Zhen, Mrs. You, and Mrs. Xiaorong, Mrs. Qin.
The two grandmothers were followed by Ruizhu, Baozhu, Yindie, Wan'er and other aunts and maids.
Suyun suddenly panicked. Grandma and Uncle Xiao Rong were still painting in the room.
Why are they here?
There is just a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. He was so busy that he was worried that someone over there would see him. I was afraid of making any noise, so I had to hurry towards Cong Green Hall with tiny steps.
Su Yun hurriedly entered the house, not caring about being knocked down by the door threshold, nor looking at the situation inside the room, and said anxiously: "Grandma, uncle, Grandma Zhen and Grandma Xiaorong are here."
I heard grandma scream strangely, and even in her panic, she didn't forget to look at Uncle Rong. "Hurry up and pack it up."
Suyun was panicking, wondering whether it was a matter of letting go or not. Fortunately, the maid was a little more agile. She quickly climbed up and closed the sill window, then ran back and closed the door.
Grandma Zhu was so frightened that she panicked. Uncle Rong hugged her tightly and said, "Don't make a sound. Listen to their chatter. They are approaching."
The three of them were anxious. Li Wan and Su Yun were trembling with anxiety.
Jia Rong is quite calm. After all, he has some experience in this kind of thing.
Most of the clothes on him and Li Wan were soaked, and it was useless to try to clean them up. Brother Rong looked around the room twice. What a mistake he made today. There was no place to hide.
Even if you hide behind the door, your shoes and feet will be exposed because of the threshold.
There are two choices before him now. One is to leave Li Wan and Su Yun in the room and go out to coax them away from coming here; the other is to all stay in the room and pray that Youshi and Keqing will not come here. Come to this house.
But with the way he is now, even if he makes other excuses, they may not believe him. Even if Keqing won't say anything to him, he still has to check it out in private. If word reaches Sister Feng, it will be a real volcanic eruption.
These girls are all very smart. If that happens, Li Wan will soon be blamed.
Brother Rong gently hugged the limp Li Wan and came to the door, followed by Su Yun. Jia Rong and Li Wan put their ears against the door and listened carefully to the movements in the courtyard.
Li Wan was sweating, and the smell of rouge and incense on her body penetrated Brother Rong's nose. In such an urgent situation, this bastard actually felt a little excited.
But what are you doing here with your wife?
Could it be that...
Came here specifically to catch him?
It shouldn't be.
But Qing and his wife Youshi don't care about this.
The only person in the family who can do such a thing is Wang Xifeng. If Wang Xifeng came, he would really jump out to prevent her from scratching Li Wan's face.
Brother Rong carefully paid attention to what was going on outside, but he couldn't stop thinking wildly in his heart.
After listening for a long time, there was no movement outside. Looking back at Suyun who was huddled behind, this girl couldn't have made a mistake, right? When he turned around to listen again, he saw that Li Wan had calmed down and was looking at him quietly.
Li Wan said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I find out. I will never be able to enter the underworld in this life, and I will never be able to see the ancestors of the Jia family."
PS: Recommend a book "Hanbo"
The protagonist is Huo Qubing's son, who fights against the female Huns... I'm wrong, it's against the Xiongnu, the Western Regions, big families, beat, beat, beat!
This guy published the book three months after me, and now he has more words than me. Fat enough to be slaughtered!
