"She wants to leave on her own. Why am I angry? If my aunt is angry, she should also lecture my nephew. How could she run away on her own?" Brother Rong argued.
You Shi Ruo pointed out: "No matter what you are doing, I only think that she left because of your coming. The servants can only see Grandma Xi Fuzhu coming back from our house with a bad look on her face." , if it spreads out, it won’t make outsiders misunderstand that our family is bullying a chaste woman."
Bullying can't be considered bullying.
Uncle Rong was willing to give such precious things and even feed them himself. Brother Rong curled his lips and thought, Mrs. Youshi didn't see the way Grandma Zhu had her mouth full of food.
"Okay, okay. I'll go over and apologize right now." Jia Rong said.
Youshi didn't reply either. Brother Rong had no choice but to look at Youshi holding his eldest brother in his arms, and secretly thought about how to bring his eldest brother back to Keqing's courtyard.
At the right time, a little maid came in. When the maid saw the people in the room, she greeted Uncle Rong first, and then she approached Youshi. She raised her hand and raised her five fingers to talk to Youshi.
Uncle Pian Rong didn't know what the maid said, so he could only look at Que'er behind him. After the little maid had finished speaking, Youshi told her eldest brother and nurse in a calm and leisurely manner: "The child is also tired today. Take him down to rest so that he can be taken care of."
Youshi looked at Brother Rong again. "I'm going to go to the backyard right now. Ronger should go and apologize. Don't stay in my courtyard and make noise."
The owner of the courtyard is not here either, and it is difficult for Jia Rong to stay. He told her to leave in person, and reluctantly left the room and left the yard.
After leaving the hall, Uncle Rong curled his lips and said, "What did the maid and madam say mysteriously?"
Xiao Que'er replied: "It's not a strange thing this time. The maid who just came here is telling Madam about the You family's affairs in the courtyard behind, which seems to be related to Miss You's marriage. The old lady of the You family asked her to come over and want to ask for help My wife helped."
"Second aunt's marriage? Didn't she promise it long ago?" Brother Rong said in surprise.
Xiao Queer smiled and said, "I can even find out about Princess Zhongshun's daily taste. How come I don't even know about the marriage of relatives at home?"
"What do you know? I'll repay the favor by treating the princess well." Brother Rong snorted lightly, "Not to mention that the old lady of the You family brought her two biological daughters to become the wife and stepmother. The old lady of the You family went there again. Good morning, we are the only ones in the Jishan family who don’t need that much money, so they come to our door to provide food and clothing and generous hospitality. If you really want to talk about it, this old lady and the two sisters have not yet been married to the Jia Xiao brother who is from the same family. "
There is one more thing that Brother Rong didn’t say. As a family gets bigger, there are more relatives. I don’t know how many relatives there are like this, and they don’t have much contact with each other on a daily basis, so how can they be close to each other?
Not to mention, Brother Rong is originally from Li Daitao. Moreover, even the You family was married to Jia Zhen later to fill the house. How could You family’s unrelated relatives who had no close contact with each other be considered relatives?
Of course, Mrs. You often comes to the door, but she always has the idea of taking Qiu Feng.
After all, people would bring something when they came to the door, even if they just brought a few cucumbers and green onions. It doesn't matter how much it's worth, or whether there's a shortage in the house. Even buying two bitter cakes worth one or two cents in Nancheng temporarily is better than leaving empty-handed every time.
Xiaoqueer said: "The old lady of the You family is also shrewd. She even asked our grandma to come here a few days ago."
Brother Rong asked: "Oh? What is it?"
"What else can there be? It turns out that the second sister of the You family arranged a baby marriage with someone who was the head of the imperial grain farm outside the city. The Zhang family failed to live up to expectations. In recent years, the Zhang family has been worse than ever and fell into decline early. In my heart, I calculated that the second sister, who was born like a flower, would marry into the Zhang family and suffer hardships, and waste the dowry provided by the family in vain. So I decided to ask grandma to come forward and go to the Zhang family to help the second sister break off the engagement. "
"Cancel the engagement? Will the Zhang family be willing?"
"I don't want to come over there, otherwise I wouldn't ask to come to the house." Xiaoque'er guessed, and then said to Uncle Rong: "If I were from the Zhang family, I wouldn't want to. It's such a waste. A beautiful daughter-in-law, and a relative of Ning Guo Gongfu, as long as there is a smart mind in the family, the Zhang family will become rich."
"You've calculated well. There are so many relatives at home, so where can everyone get up?"
Xiaoqueer smiled and said: "The life that the uncle lives in the mansion is naturally different from the life that they live in the village. Two days ago, I heard that the girls in the garden were preparing to prepare a banquet. After calculating the twenty taels of silver, I still felt that it was too little. If the money is not enough, the twenty taels left on the farm can be enough for a year. As long as the Zhang family is smarter, even if they pick up a small job, they will be considered rich. "
That's right, a few dozen taels of silver is a small amount of money for a family like the Jia family, but it is a lot of money for ordinary people outside the city.
Brother Rong smiled and asked, "What happened to your grandma?"
Xiao Queer said: "Grandma didn't say much, but Mrs. You kept talking about how ruined the Zhang family was, how Zhang Hua was ineffective, and how Zhang Hua and the Zhang family's father had broken off the father-son relationship."
"It is indeed a fire pit." Brother Rong said helplessly, "If the You family wants to break off the engagement, it is a lose-lose method. Since they have come up with this method, they must compensate the Zhang family. If the Zhang family does not need much money, Just let your grandma take the money and settle the matter."
Brother Zhaorong's idea is that if it can be solved with money, don't use anything else. If the You family's mother comes to bother you often, it's better to send dozens of taels of silver there and let the You family and the Zhang family deal with it.
Xiaoque'er replied: "How can they be willing? They just want someone in the house to come forward."
Brother Rong thought about it carefully and finally understood what Mrs. You was thinking. No matter who initiates the divorce, it will bring bad reputation to the other party. It would be fine if it could be resolved amicably, but if the Zhang family was angered during the negotiation, in the end Sister You would not only have the title of engaged, but her reputation would also be lost.
Jia Rong sighed, "They can do whatever they want. If they ask for anything, just ask my wife to take care of it. Whether my wife is willing to find someone to break off the engagement, or she is willing to give money to the You family to deal with it, I agree to it no matter what."
Xiaoque'er nodded and said, "Grandma said the same thing. After all, they are relatives in the wife's family. We are all juniors in our courtyard. It is up to the wife to make the decision."
Brother Rong shook his head indifferently, but Li Wan was nowhere to be seen. He had no choice but to look in the direction of Huifang Garden, and asked Que'er to look for the passing maids to find out which way Grandma Zhu went.
The little bird rolled her eyes.
After a while, Brother Rong finally found Grandma Zhu at a pavilion near the water in Huifang Garden.
"Auntie is here? This is a good place. I haven't noticed in the past, but there are a few banana plants here." Brother Rong walked over with a smile, not looking out of place at all. He pointed to a place in surprise and said: "My aunt is really unique in her beauty. Others admire lotus flowers by the water, but what I am admiring here are banana flowers."
Li Wan cast a sidelong glance at him and said coldly: "You are the first person who can mistake a canna for a banana."
Brother Rong didn't know that there was a canna growing next to the pavilion. Although the leaves of plantain and canna are similar, they are quite different in other places.
The biggest difference is that the banana stem is as thick as a human leg, while the canna stem is only as thick as a finger. Moreover, the banana tree is about one foot tall, while the canna tree is less than half a foot tall. Its flowers are also different. The banana flowers and fruits are like red hearts, and after the pieces wither, small banana fruits appear. Cannas are mostly red and yellow in color, and their petals are as soft as a beauty wearing a long dress.
Brother Rong walked over quickly, took Li Wan's hand and said, "So this is called Canna. No wonder the enchanting flowers can match the beauty of the palace judge."
Before Li Wan could react, the little bird next to him rolled his eyes, and Su Yun behind Li Wan even snickered.
Brother Rong glared at the two maids angrily and said, "Is it possible that I made a mistake? Ah, I must have been thinking about it too much recently. When I saw the palace judge, my eyes were all fixed on him and he refused to move away, and he didn't even take a closer look at this. The appearance of Canna flowers. Although Canna is called a beauty, the person who named it must have never seen a real beauty. This flower is not even half as good as our Grandma Zhu."
The most beautiful time for a woman is when she has a straight face and can't help but want to smile.
The current Li Gongcai was like this. He snorted from his flawless little nose and really shook off Brother Rong's dishonest hand. Then she kept a straight face, trying to look serious, but she couldn't help but smile.
Li Wan tried his best to keep a straight face, but even his eyes narrowed into a smile. She also saw the smile on Brother Rong's face, and the laughter on the faces of Suyun and Xiaoque'er. He hummed: "Now let me tell you what I heard. Just now in front of Youshi, I don't know who blamed me for stirring up relations in your house."
Brother Rong screamed and said angrily: "Who is that bastard who used such malicious thoughts to speculate on our kind-hearted Grandma Zhu? Please also tell me that I will uphold justice for the palace judge and go and arrest her immediately." He peeled off the skin and sent him to a damp, dark mountain cave where he died of coldness."
"Hey." Li Wan looked at him sideways.
"The palace judge is not talking about me, is he?" Brother Rong replied in surprise, "Well... well, I will also punish Uncle Xiao Rong to peel off the skin tonight and send him to a humid and dark cave."
Li Wan felt something was wrong. After looking at Brother Rong for a while, he realized that the bastard had a weird smile on his face. After carefully considering Brother Rong's words, a blush appeared on his face. She glanced at the two maids Suyun and Queer beside her, but they still didn't understand.
The palace judge had no choice but to stab Brother Rong secretly with his eyes.
"Although the world is big, every place has its own owner, and you can't just lock people up wherever you want. If you want to go in, the master may not let you in."
"I don't believe there's nothing I can't win."
"I believe this." Li Gongcai said leisurely, "After all, the scenery in Yixia Pavilion is good, especially the dusk and night view there, which is really nostalgic. So much so that some people want to go to Yixia Pavilion even when it gets dark. Go, I really miss you so much."
Um?
Why are you talking about Yixia Pavilion?
Brother Rong's eyes rolled around, but he remembered that he had been resting in Yixia Pavilion at night recently. But how did Li Wan know? There's a traitor in the house who snitched
Uncle Rong immediately looked at Que'er behind him. The only one who knew where he went every night was the maid Que'er.
Xiao Que'er looked confused at this moment, not knowing what the uncle meant by his sullen expression.
Grandma Zhu said calmly: "There is an ancient book saying: If you want others to hear it, don't speak it if you don't want it; if you want others to know it, don't do it if you don't want it. If I hadn't stayed late in your wife's courtyard these past few days, I wouldn't have known you every day. When I come back from doing business in the day, I have to go to Yixia Pavilion to do business at night."
Forehead……
Is this girl jealous?
Brother Rong's heart skipped a beat, it shouldn't have happened. How could Grandma Zhu be someone who gets jealous easily? She is Wang Xifeng again.
His head was spinning rapidly, thinking eagerly, and finally thought of a possibility.
Could it be that she hadn't been to Daoxiang Village for more than ten days in the past ten days? This girl felt left out, and then she saw her running to Yixia Pavilion several times at night. The so-called worry is not about scarcity but inequality. Li Wan secretly felt angry because of the comparison.
After thinking about the root cause, it was easier to solve. Brother Rong touched his chin and said with a smile: "The palace judge is not bad. He is really busy with official duties recently. It's thanks to the palace judge's help that he sorted out a farming book first, otherwise he would have been so busy at night. I still don’t know when I can come back, but it’s not impossible to live in the Shuili Yingtian Mansion for a month or two.”
Li Wan looked at him doubtfully and said calmly: "You don't have to talk to me about your official business."
Brother Rong replied: "It's easy, it's easy. It's just that I have been getting a lot of help from the Palace Judge recently. I need to give you some feedback so that the Palace Judge can feel at ease after knowing it. I have some questions about official matters these days." Second Aunt, I’m usually not at home, so I can only go to Second Grandma Lian to inquire about her while it’s still early in the night after returning home.”
Li Wan frowned. I thought to myself: How many people in the house don’t know about your relationship with Feng Yatou? Are you being careless in front of me? I call Aunt Lian here, but in private I call her Feng'er Feng'er affectionately.
She also thought about her resentment and realized that she was in no position to be so resentful. Then he checked that his hands were being manipulated by this bastard, and looked at his face again. Even though he knew clearly that Brother Rong was lying, he still took it as the truth.
He said softly: "Girl Feng can't read a single word. How can she help you? I'm still helping you organize the rest of the agricultural book. If you have other questions, you can go to Daoxiang Village to find me."
This voice is so gentle.
When the palace judge said he went to Daoxiang Village to look for her, wasn't he expressing some kind of hint? Brother Rong was so provoked that he felt itchy. He said hurriedly: "I will definitely go there. I hope the palace judge won't blame me for always bothering you."
Li Wan felt his hands being grabbed deeper and deeper, and even his body was leaning against Brother Rong with an inexplicable force. Just as he was about to comply with Brother Rong's words, he suddenly noticed a familiar big hand behind him. It instantly brought back some hard and euphoric memories for her, and her voice became softer after opening her mouth.
"If Brother Rong is considerate, you will naturally have a sense of proportion. Suyun will always be there to serve you."
It seems that we are going to enjoy the blessings of the people of Qi again. Brother Rong felt happy.
