The mandarin ducks in the tent cannot be warmed, and they meet again with pity and resentment. Brother Rong really can't get along with him. Now that Jia Zheng has left Shenjing, why is Baoyu still cowering in Yihongyuan?
Why stare at a person to commit sin.
Brother Rong folded his hands in front of his robe and replied awkwardly: "What do you want Uncle Bao to do with me? Why didn't you go drink with Liu Erlang and the others today?"
Baoyu said: "Erlang and the others went to the village, saying they were going to visit the Lai family. The Lai family did that kind of thing before. I went there out of season, so I didn't plan to leave the house."
Brother Rong laughed dryly and said, "The friendship between them is quite deep."
"Brother Rong will not want to deal with the Lai family, right? They are honest in the village now, and they are often bullied by the people in the village. If they continue to be in trouble, it will be..."
"Why should I embarrass them?" Brother Rong curled his lips and snorted angrily. "Aunt Lai is still living in the mansion. How difficult can their family's life be? But they are not as wealthy as before. I don't believe that they are being bullied. Whether they are lucky or difficult in the village, I There’s no need to worry about them. Just don’t do anything harmful to the two houses, otherwise Grandma Lai’s kindness will not be enough.”
Baoyu smiled sympathetically, and his eyes fell on the maid next to him.
He used to be a sentimental person, only after Qin Zhong broke up with him, Zhang Hongchen disappeared, and Jiang Yuhan was arrested and brought back to Prince Zhongshun's palace. The few people who were familiar with Baoyu, such as Liu Xianglian, Feng Ziying and others, were just ordinary friends in his opinion.
What if Liu Xianglian and Feng Ziying unexpectedly left or died one day? Baoyu could only be sad for one day at that time, and then lively again the next day. No matter how long he passed, he would only send the servants around him to burn incense at the grave of his former friend.
Therefore, although he once had a good relationship with Lai Shangrong, he now avoids any suspicion. I just heard Brother Rong say not to cause trouble, so he didn't take any more care.
At this moment, I have been thinking in my heart about how to take Brother Rong into Yihong Courtyard, or find a quiet place nearby, so that I can use the maid and Brother Rong to entertain my brain and body for a while.
Jia Baoyu said: "Brother Rong said this, I will believe you. Let's not talk about their family affairs. Brother Rong, let's go and sit in Yihong Courtyard. I still have many things to do with you." Brother Rong has discussed it."
Brother Rong was really attracted by Baochai, so he didn't want to stay with Baoyu.
He declined: "Uncle Bao had something to say, so I took the initiative to talk to him. But there are a lot of things going on around him now. Today there is either some miscellaneous matter in the Dongfu, or tomorrow there will be some errands in the clan. Now Mr. Zheng has also left the capital. , there are a lot of things going on outside. Not to mention the Zhongshun Prince’s Palace, the Beijing Prince’s Palace, the Wang family, the Feng family, the Niu family, the Chen family, etc., I am not allowed to intervene in any of them. If Uncle Bao really has something to do, I will just send someone there in the future. Just tell Dongfu and I will make time to help Uncle Bao get it done as soon as possible."
Baoyu begged in a low voice: "There is something I need your help with right now."
Brother Rong raised his eyebrows, wondering what Baoyu had planned today. But seeing Jia Zheng leave, there is finally no master to discipline him in the house, and now he is thinking about becoming the Monkey King in heaven.
It's just that Brother Rong really has no intention of playing with Baoyu at the moment. He just wants to divert his attention or find a place to vent his anger.
"My nephew has something important to do at the moment. If Uncle Bao encounters a difficult problem in the house, it is better to find Aunt Zhu or go to the Xifu to see the old lady for explanation. If it is a foreign matter in the house, you can talk to the old lady first. Really. If you have any unspeakable matters, please inform the messenger to me."
"There are unspeakable things happening right now." Baoyu held on to Brother Rong and begged anxiously. It's like dog-skin plaster, you can't get rid of it no matter what.
Brother Rong was secretly annoyed, what a sinner. While pushing and pushing, he gradually lost his temper and became less anxious. He said, "Uncle Bao bothers me so much. If it's just a private matter, I won't be able to tell the old lady, or she will blame Uncle Bao. If Mr. Zheng finds out, he will suffer the same consequences as Uncle Bao when he comes back."
Baoyu begged again and said: "Good brother Rong, please help me this time. It only takes some time, and I won't bother you much in the future."
Brother Rong thought that Baoyu was pitiful, and gradually softened his heart. The sigh followed Baoyu into Yihongyuan, but he forgot a word.
'Human nature cannot stand the test. '
Especially someone like Brother Rong, who is not a saint to begin with. The bottom line will be lowered every time you plead and beg, and most people are like this.
What's more, people like Brother Rong?
Jia Rong overestimated herself today.
The group of people quickly stepped into the winding path and secluded place. Something special was destined to happen in Yihong Courtyard today. [Author’s comment: It’s a pity that the text of “Brother Rong takes off his armor in Yihong Courtyard, and Bao Yatou invites you to Hengwu Courtyard again” is lost and there is no manuscript, sigh! 】
A few more days.
Brother Rong heard the news that King Zhongshun was approaching Shenjing, and took the Qin family to visit Prince Zhongshun's mansion.
In the palace, preparations have been made to welcome him, and Guard Rong is also here to help him all afternoon. At noon, Princess Zhongshun stayed with Jia Rong's family for dinner. After dinner, Grandma Rong, Mrs. Qin, took the girl back to the house first.
Brother Rong asked the princess to go to the side hall to talk.
The empress smiled sweetly, her charm and beauty were like the spring breeze blowing on her face. He smiled and said: "Brother Rong has been visiting the Three Treasures Palace for nothing lately. Now that you have come to the palace diligently, I guess you have other thoughts. Tell me, what else do you want from me?"
Brother Rong replied nonchalantly: "Your Majesty, you are really wise. How can you hide your thoughts from your Majesty?"
The princess had obviously heard that Thirteenth Master's old illness had improved slightly, and thought that there would still be some time before Thirteenth Master could arrive in Beijing, so she was in a happier mood today than before. He smiled and said softly: "Don't bully me in front of me. If you have any questions, just tell me."
Seeing this, Jia Rong took out a book from his arms and carefully handed it to Jiayi, the female official next to him. He said slowly: "Please take a look at it. What I want to say is related to this."
The princess took the book from Jiayi with her beautiful hands and looked at it. "I don't understand this stuff. You should ask the farmers about their crops."
"Your Majesty, I have misunderstood." Brother Rong replied softly. He glanced at the maids on the left and right, and said in a leisurely voice, "My Majesty, please listen carefully to what Rong'er said."
Nosy boy. The princess's mouth curled up slightly, and a faint dimple appeared on her face that had not changed in twenty years. The colorful and bright eyes glanced at the female officer Jiayi, and then ordered: "Take the people down, don't come near until you are called."
The female officer Jiayi paid attention to the book in her hand, and then took the order and left the room with all the ten people in the room. At the same time, he sighed in his heart that Lord Rong was really lucky. Not only did the Jia family become more and more powerful in the court, but his wife also treated him more kindly than before.
When Brother Rong and the Princess were the only two people left in the room, the Princess asked, "Tell me more, what are you asking me for?"
