I’ve never seen anyone in such a hurry to drive someone away. Lin Daiyu replied coldly: "There are not many valuable things, but only three or five volumes of books. No one will read them if they are left here. It is better to move back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and avoid occupying your house for nothing."
Brother Rong coughed twice, and realized that he had just overacted, and replied: "It can't occupy a room, and it will be empty if it is empty. Aunt Lin got tired of staying in Xiaoxiang Pavilion one day, or one day Come to Yixia Pavilion to have fun with your sisters, you can also have a place to rest here."
"After all, it's not your own home. Wherever you go, you still have to look at people's opinions. If you clean it up early, it will save you a lot of trouble." Lin Daiyu didn't give Brother Rong a good look at all. She said it with a straight face and took care of Xueyan and The two maids Zijuan went to Yixia Pavilion.
Uncle Rong stood there, not knowing whether he should be happy or unhappy about this.
He originally planned to go back to Yixia Pavilion to have a good rest, but now he had to summon two maids and told them to follow him to take a look at Lin Daiyu. He took a side road and went to the pavilion by the stream, intending to enjoy the wind by the stream first, fearing that it would be embarrassing to watch Daiyu clean up in front of her.
"I'm really a scumbag."
Brother Rong laughed at himself and looked at the lotus flowers blooming in a corner of the stream, with many lotus pods facing the sun. Several maids held boats and passed through the lotus leaves, folding off the mature lotus pods.
Such a scene actually made Uncle Rong feel so beautiful that he forgot the time for a moment.
When the maid who had followed him to Yixia Pavilion came back, he finally came back to his senses. The maid said: "Miss Lin has packed up the books in the room and even taken away the paintings on the wall."
Brother Rong nodded and asked them to disperse. When I returned to Yixia Pavilion, I saw that the door of Lin Daiyu's room was ajar, and someone pushed the door open and went in.
Sure enough, it was empty inside. Not to mention the paintings hanging on the wall and the books on the table, even the glass hydrangea lamp that was originally hanging high was removed.
The lamp belonged to Lin Daiyu, so it was appropriate to take it away. Brother Rong smiled bitterly, feeling a little disappointed for some reason.
Maybe it's a bitch's pretentious fault.
There are some people who are so mean. When others appear in front of them, they wish they could walk far away and never see them again. But when someone else really leaves, they feel empty inside and feel an inexplicable feeling of regret.
A lot of things happened in this room. Lin Daiyu's smiling face when she moved here is still vivid in my mind, and Daiyu's strange voice that day still lingers in my ears, but now the place is completely empty.
The breakthrough in the relationship between Uncle Rong and Aunt Zhu happened here, in Daiyu's room.
He walked closer to the bed and placed his right hand on the head of the bed where Daiyu once leaned, and touched the bedrail where Li Wan used to hold firm with both hands. He laughed at himself and said: "Have I been infected by Lin Daiyu? How did I catch her hypocritical problem, or am I just pretending to be affectionate in my heart?"
"Just leave. No matter how beautiful you are, you are not suitable." Brother Rong comforted himself and did not want to go upstairs. He just lay on the bed in this room to rest.
Anyway, this place has become an ownerless land, and it serves as Uncle Rong's rest room.
In the afternoon, Uncle Rong had a beautiful dream in his room. I dreamed that I was rowing into the Xike Flower Stream, and there was an innocent girl sitting behind me. She kept directing him which way to go in the boat so that he could easily pick lotus pods.
Dreams are just dreams, they are false.
Even Brother Rong in the dream knew this. But when he reacted, he looked at the girl behind him and found that the girl was actually Princess Beijing.
I thought about it for a moment, Princess Beijing is not such a person.
Sure enough, the person behind became Baochai again.
Baochai occasionally had this innocent side, and when she really wanted to take a closer look, her face turned into Daiyu again.
Good guy, I heard Daiyu holding a lotus pod and reciting a poem I had never heard before.
Wake up from the dream in an instant.
For a while, I was in a trance, looking at the setting sun in the west close to Tianxiang Tower, and I hurriedly climbed out of bed. Walking out of Yixia Pavilion, looking at the surroundings seems like a world away. He didn't understand why he had such a dream, he only remembered that he was quite happy in the dream. Now that I'm awake, I can't help but reminisce about the innocence and beauty in my dream.
Who doesn’t love innocent times? Be carefree and don't have to think too much. There is no calculation, no right or wrong, even if you do a trivial thing, you can be happy for a long time.
In the Grand View Garden, troops and crowds were mobilized to prepare.
The old lady arranged a place to enjoy the moon, and Mrs. Wang sent Wang Xifeng to prepare a place for moon worship. In a large courtyard, a large incense table is set up with moon cakes, watermelons, apples, dates, plums, grapes and other sacrifices. There is a Moon God tablet on top, with two big red candles on the left and right. In front of the shrine, a brilliant golden incense burner is placed, with some incense placed next to it.
There are also three barons and a jug of wine on the big case.
Under the case, there are a number of straw mats and cushions.
Everyone calculated the time accurately, but the old lady could only see that there were only female relatives in the courtyard, and Baoyu was nowhere to be seen. Xunren asked again, and then sent someone to find Jia Zheng to inquire.
Jia Zhengcai asked people to send moon sacrifices and blessings, but he didn't know where the jade was. I only asked about the whereabouts of Jia Huan and Jia Lan, and I couldn't help but frown a little when I learned that they were both in the garden.
After hearing this, Jia Lian replied: "Baoyu was invited by Xue Pan today, and this meeting will be in the back street."
Jia Zheng thought for a moment, sighed and asked someone to go back to the old lady, no need to wait for Baoyu. But he didn't pursue Baoyu's itinerary, which made the servants next to him surprised for a while.
But Jia Zheng asked, "Why hasn't Brother Rong come over yet?"
The servant replied: "Uncle Xiao Rong disappeared after the luncheon. No one knows where he went."
Jia Zheng frowned and said, "Look for someone. I'll stop by to pay homage to my eldest brother."
There was no need for them to find Jia Rong, but Jia Jing would certainly not be able to find him. When night falls and the moon rises, the red candles glow in the Grand View Garden.
In the inner courtyard, wives and grandmothers worshiped the moon one after another, and clusters of incense were placed on the incense burner.
After the ceremony is completed, the blessings and paper treasures are lit on the red candles and placed in the gold basin.
The flames burned in the night. This ball of fire carried the wishes of all the women, lighting up the courtyard and everyone's faces.
Under the moonlight, Tanchun pulled Daiyu in a low voice and asked, "What did you promise?"
Worship the moon and seek good luck.
Daiyu glanced at Tanchun faintly. How could she tell the third girl what was on her mind?
In the crowd, Aunt Xue hugged Baochai tightly and said with a slight smile: "Girl is not young anymore, it is time to reach the age of marriage. I asked the Moon God for a good match for you. This year, I will ask more relatives. Find a good husband for this girl."
Baochai was stunned, what kind of good husband? Do you still need to search? The one in Dongfu is the one.
She didn't dare to say these words. Later, Tanchun and Daiyu were seen whispering, and something suddenly occurred to him, so he told his mother about it, walked over to Daiyu, and asked about Jin'er's situation.
Daiyu lowered her head and pulled Baochai to the corner, and whispered everything about her encounter with Brother Rong in the afternoon, her tone full of helplessness and resentment.
Baochai smiled and said, "Girl Feng and I are here to make plans for my sister. What does my sister have to worry about?"
Daiyu said faintly: "You all have good intentions, but you don't feel comfortable favoring me. I will always be unwilling to get it this way."
Baochai said: "Whether you are comfortable or not, happy or not, you have to get it before you know it. Who in the house doesn't know Rong Ge is the most soft-hearted. If you continue like this, are you afraid that he won't come to see you?"
Daiyu: "..."
This night, many people had many thoughts. Overall, everyone was happy at first. But halfway through the night banquet, the old lady called Rong's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin, and praised her in front of the two ladies.
Wang's face looked as usual, but Xing became more and more jealous.
Now Qin has become the old lady's most proud great-grandson's daughter-in-law, while Xing, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jia family, has become a transparent person in the Jia family. Just listening to the old lady's bright laughter at the banquet, Mr. Xing thought about what the old lady said, not to mention her taste.
"The others are older and may not be to your liking. Your Majesty and Brother Rong's wife are of the same age, so it would be good for them to move around more..."
"Girls are not young anymore. They spend most of their time with your sister-in-law and learn to manage the housework. Brother Rong takes care of the outside affairs..."
Mrs. Xing never imagined that Wang Xifeng had left the house and she still had no involvement in the housekeeper's affairs. Now that Jia Zheng is going to other provinces, he did not expect that the old lady would also approve the Dongfu to take charge of the external affairs of the Xifu.
"eccentric."
Xing was not the only one to think so, Jia She also thought so.
The atmosphere at the table where the men were sitting was also quite strange. Especially after Jia She heard what Jia Zheng said, he couldn't help showing an angry look on his face. Seeing Brother Lian's indifferent expression, Mr. She was even more furious.
I was cursing in my heart: "You're such a useless boy. It's better to have such a son than to have been in his mother's mouth in the early years."
"Shura Martial God"
Then Lian brother smiled and said to Jia Rong: "From now on, I will listen to Rong brother's arrangements. If you have any good things, don't forget me as your uncle."
Jia She was even more annoyed: "It's not bloody at all. No wonder that girl is living in Dongfu now and doesn't want to come back."
Of course, Jia She was dissatisfied, but he didn't make any sound. The old lady and her brother Jia Zheng have always made the final decision in matters at home. He, the eldest son and elder brother, has little power at home.
Jia She couldn't say anything against it, but seeing his brother Jia Zhengre looking at him, he had no choice but to agree. He said, "In this family, what chance do we have to talk? With you and the old lady in the Xi Mansion, and Brother Jing supporting us in the family, we have nothing to say."
Brother Rong could see that Jia She was very resentful. In fact, he didn't want to interfere with the affairs of Xifu, neither internal nor external affairs. Just looking at today's posture, it is estimated that the internal and external affairs of Xifu will have to worry about it in the future.
After all, where can we only discuss foreign affairs that do not involve internal affairs?
Brother Rong raised his glass and said with a wry smile: "Second Master thinks highly of Rong'er's abilities. Rong'er is a rough man, and he was also a playboy in the past. For many things, I need the guidance of the First Master and Uncle Lian. All matters in the two houses are controlled by the family." Everyone here should make decisions together, how can a kid like me make the decision?"
Jia She rolled his eyes secretly, thinking that Brother Rong still had a little bit of self-awareness. He replied smoothly: "Brother Rong, don't worry. As long as it's good for the family, I will definitely support it. As long as your Uncle Lian and I are here, there won't be any trouble in the West Mansion."
"No need, no need." Brother Rong agreed with a smile.
But Jia Zheng felt uneasy after hearing this. No one knew the details of the eldest brother better than him, the younger brother. Jia Zheng grinned, brushed his beard with his hand to hide his expression, and said softly: "In the future, there will be more Rong brothers in the house."
Jia She frowned and snorted, so he had to drink himself a glass. Looking at Jia Lian next to him who looked careless and careless, he wanted to kick him.
Jia She's unhappiness didn't go away until the dinner was over.
When they returned to Rongguo Mansion, Jia She and Xing complained a lot about this, but they were helpless.
Another day passed like this, but the princess of Beijing County had not left Ningguo Mansion yet. She only had a separate room in Conglutang.
"It's strange for their family that my aunt at home got involved in my husband's business errands. Instead of going anywhere else, he came here."
After listening to the words of the maid next to her, the Princess of Beijing County raised her lips slightly and showed a faint smile. He said: "This is the best. In the past years when I was still in Jinling, my father-in-law would ask my mother for advice on some official matters. It would be impossible if there was no interference between the inside and outside."
The maid said, but she didn't agree.
The princess of Beijing County smiled when she saw it and said: "You are still too young and don't know the depth of the inner house. You only see the women here giving ideas. In fact, in such a family, walking around and interacting in the inner house is serious. Many times , The inner house can affect the career prospects of the men in the family. It’s like this for Grandma Rong when Princess Zhongshun recognized her as her goddaughter, and it’s the same for Grandma Zhu when she came to help Brother Rong. The same principle applies.”
The maid thought for a moment and replied: "The two of them got married, but they were still a generation apart. Instead of going to the study in the front yard, they found a secluded place, and they were not afraid of people gossiping. One of them is a chaste woman."
The princess of Beijing County taught: "Don't talk nonsense. It's because of the generation gap that others can't gossip. It doesn't matter if you are a chaste woman, how can you look at people with such eyes."
The maid suddenly didn't dare to speak.
The princess of Beijing County said calmly: "They know clearly that there are guests like us here, so they still come here, so of course they have no worries. We won't disturb their work anymore. We have been to Ningguo Mansion many times, and we have also I haven’t visited this garden much. I’ll come back later in the afternoon.”
maid:"……"
Several people came out of Conglu Hall's main building, and the maid secretly looked at the study room on the podium floor, only to see Uncle Xiao Rong and Nanny Zhu Da behave themselves. The distance between the two was not close, and the doors and windows were open, so it was very aboveboard.
The maid only blamed herself for overthinking and lowered her head in a bit of shame.
Huifang Garden is not very lively on weekdays. Although the maids occasionally play here, they suddenly become cautious when meeting guests. The princess of Beijing County accidentally met someone from Yixia Pavilion and was invited to the attic for tea.
She also heard some gossip about Wang Xifeng and Brother Rong in Yixia Pavilion, and knew that Sister Feng was originally from the Wang family and was Mrs. Wang's niece. She had married Brother Lian of Xifu in her early years.
later……
Later, for some unknown reason, I had some gossip with my nephew from Dongfu. This year, I moved directly into Dongfu instead of going back to Xifu.
