Of course I didn't ask for the money.
Seeing that it was getting late, King Zhongshun sent Brother Rong back. Jia Rongyuan also wanted to ask Thirteenth Master about some matters about Zhungeer and Qaidam, and casually talk about potassium salt. Seeing that the emperor was present and it was difficult to talk about foreign affairs, he immediately returned to the house.
At this time, all the younger female relatives of the two houses were busy in Yixia Pavilion. It was only after Uncle Rong returned to the house that he heard from the maids in the room that not only Keqing had taken Ruizhu, Baozhu, Xiangling and others there.
Even the second and third girls of the You family came to Yixia Pavilion to get a share.
"It's not appropriate for me to go past this occasion. Go and report to Yixia Pavilion, and then I'll join in the fun after they have dinner." Uncle Rong asked the maid to prepare hot water again. Although the weather is still dry, but in After spending more than half a day in the fields, it was hard to get rid of our fatigue without taking a warm bath.
The maid who narrated the story also understood the meaning, and soon prepared a change of clothes and warm water for bathing.
Taking a bath is definitely one of the simplest and most effective ways for people to achieve happiness;
Another one is going to the toilet.
When people soak in hot water, their brain thinking will become extremely active. In this environment, thoughts can become clearer than at other times.
This is why Jia Rong likes to take baths. She can feel the heat waves attacking her skin, and feel the external temperature penetrate through the skin bit by bit into the muscles, blood, and circulate throughout the body.
The brain is running rapidly, and many things that are unclear or unclear about the next step can be answered at this time.
So when Jia Rongcai sat in the water, she immediately felt calm. Don't let the maid next to you wipe it, just use it when you need to add hot water. He thought about what he had seen and experienced in the past few days in his mind, and it seemed that since that day when he took off his armor in Yihong Courtyard, everything seemed to have gone away.
It was like opening a door that had been closed for a long time.
I have been used to being cautious for a few years since I first came to this world, and now I look back. I found that in the Jia family, I no longer needed to be as cautious as before. No matter Baoyu, Aunt Xue, or even the two wives of King Xing and the old lady, they no longer have to bear the shackles in the past.
"It can barely be regarded as an equal dialogue under unequal status." Uncle Rong secretly laughed in his heart.
Inexplicably, several figures suddenly flashed through his mind.
Aunt Xue who met at Aojingxi Pavilion that day; Princess Beijing County who had a chat in Cong Lutang's study that day; Princess Zhongshun who was reclining on the couch in Prince Zhongshun's Mansion that day. There are also several maids from Yihongyuan, the sharp-tongued Qingwen, the honest and considerate Sheyue...
Wang Xifeng, Xue Baochai, Li Wan, Xiang Ling and other women flashed past one by one, and even Lin Daiyu also appeared.
After thinking for a moment, Rong's grandmother Qin Keqing came to mind.
I don't know why, my thoughts suddenly flew around. Then I thought of Brother Chun, the Fourth Young Master of Prince Zhongshun, and of His Highness and the Crown Prince’s Young Master in the palace. Then he suddenly thought of King Zhongshun, the Emperor, and Jia Jing, the grand master of Ningguo Mansion.
After Jia Rong calmed down, she would always think about the way forward.
Because only at this time is the time to truly face your heart. Face your own desires, face your own desires, and face your own ideals. Think about the future and what the options are for each situation.
When it comes to survival, people are always accustomed to preparing more escape routes for themselves, and Jia Rong is no exception.
"Can you please add some hot water?"
Jia Rong, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted by the maid next to him. Only then did he realize that the water had cooled down a lot, and his fingers were wrinkled. "Just add some water."
I called the maid to help with the scrubbing, and enjoyed the feudal culture that I once looked down upon and even disapproved of.
People are always slowly affected by the environment, and the person involved is not even aware of it.
After washing in a hurry, I changed into clean and beautiful clothes. I just feel refreshed and have endless energy in my body.
Hiding what he had just thought deep in his heart, he accidentally glanced at the ancestral hall to the west and put on an energetic smile. Asked: "Have the people who went to Yixia Pavilion come back? Did the grandmothers and girls there say anything?"
"I've been back for a while, waiting outside."
"Let her come in and listen to what they say."
As soon as he finished speaking, two maids came over from outside. Brother Rong was quite surprised when he saw it. The person walking behind was actually Lin Hongyu, a girl from Wang Xifeng's goddaughter Lin Zhixiao's family.
I was surprised, but I knew it was normal.
Ever since Sister Feng came to Ningguo Mansion, Ping'er was the only one with her. Feng Lazi looked down on the other girls in Ningguo Mansion. I don't know how I got Lin Hongyu from Yihongyuan. Later, this little maid often did errands next to Sister Feng, and occasionally waited outside their room.
Lin Hongyu walked in and said: "Our grandma heard that the uncle was back, so she specially sent me to invite him. She also said that if the uncle can't come over today, those who are guests in Yixia Pavilion can't even think about having today's dinner."
Uncle Rong said: "She is quite good at calling. Today she is doing business in Yixia Pavilion. What should I go over to do? They are looking for fun, and I am afraid of disturbing them if I go over."
Lin Hongyu replied: "Our grandma has long expected that the uncle will come back like this. She also specifically explained that there are not many outsiders at the dinner party today. If the uncle doesn't go there for some reason. Today, Aunt Rong, Aunt Zhu, Bao Neither Miss Xiangling nor Miss Xiangling can leave, they must all stay and sleep in Yixia Pavilion."
"Ahem..." Uncle Rong laughed dryly and said, "What kind of ability does she have? There are not that many people in Yixia Pavilion."
Lin Hongyu said helplessly: "There are not enough rooms in the attic. Grandma has her own ideas, but I don't know. She always does what she says. She can only make us slaves and sleep in the attic at night." "
"What is this girl planning?" Uncle Rong thought to himself.
At the moment, I had no choice but to follow Lin Hongyu. To be honest, he left the Shuili Yingtian Mansion and went to the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion that afternoon. He didn't eat at the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion and took a shower when he arrived at the Ningguo Mansion.
I'm still hungry now.
After taking a shower, the feeling of hunger was even more obvious.
Uncle Rong found a plate of pastries and a plate of fruits on the table. He picked up a few casually and said, "Let's go over and see how they make fun."
While eating, Uncle Rong followed Lin Hongyu to Yixia Pavilion.
At the same time, the setting sun on the horizon also slowly moved away, gradually showing signs of being invisible. Slowly arriving outside Yixia Pavilion, I listened to the excitement upstairs. It turned out that Wang Xifeng, the girl, led all the women up to the night view balcony on the third floor. At this moment, a group of people were surrounding the railing to watch the sunset in the west.
The shape of the setting sun remains unchanged forever. As long as the sky is clear, the western sky will glow with golden light at this time.
Such dreamlike light comes from the west and shines on the top floor of Yixia Pavilion, reflecting the beautiful ladies enjoying the scenery on the fence. The floor beneath them seemed to be cut off. It was dark and not illuminated by the golden light.
When Brother Rong looked up from below, he felt like he was seeing a group of fairies descending to earth on colorful auspicious clouds.
In her ear, Lin Hongyu said slowly: "Master, come up quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
Brother Rong took a long look at the scene on the top floor of Yixia Pavilion, and several famous towers appeared in his mind for no apparent reason.
In ancient Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was a star-catching platform. You could climb on it to pick stars and gaze at the moon. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Bronze Bird Tower was built, and there were poems about it: the east wind did not cooperate with Zhou Lang, and the bronze bird spring locked two Qiao.
Not to mention the several famous buildings from past and present in my memory.
The Tengwang Pavilion built by Li Yuanying, a romantic prince during the Zhenguan and Yonghui years of the Tang Dynasty, and the Yueyang Tower, which allowed Fan Wenzheng to write a world-famous novel, were also used by Emperor Sun of the Eastern Wu Dynasty for lookout and garrisoning with the bandit slogan "I will send 100,000 heads to Hefei." The Yellow Crane Tower...
Brother Rong thinks that Yixia Pavilion is definitely not as grand as the ancient Star-Zhaing Pavilion and Tongque Pavilion, nor is it as famous as Tengwang Pavilion, Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower, etc.
But Yixia Pavilion also has its own advantages, that is, the beauty in the attic is alive at this moment.
Not to mention Yueyang Tower and Yellow Crane Tower.
On the star-catching platform, Zhouzi of Shang Dynasty died early, Prime Minister Meng De was not there on the Bronze Bird Platform, and in the Pavilion of Prince Teng, Yuanying of Prince Teng had turned into a butterfly. Even if these three romantic figures were alive, they would not be as happy as Uncle Rong in Yixia Pavilion.
Jia Rong compared the ancients with himself, and actually felt a little proud.
He slowly walked into the attic holding his robe, found the stairs, and climbed up step by step.
Before entering the balcony, I heard Wang Xifeng's laughter before he was seen.
"Good sister-in-law, why haven't I invited you? But I am so lonely in the attic that I always want to keep you company. I prefer my sister-in-law to be busy in the West Mansion. I would like to invite you, but I can't say that. Listen again. Brother Rong also asked his good sister-in-law to help compile books and so on, how dare I disturb him."
Brother Rong was listening outside, but why did he feel that there was something in this girl's words?
It's a little awkward, as if it's hinting at something.
After gently passing the door, I saw all the warblers on the balcony facing west, and no one turned around to see who had gone upstairs. Brother Rong knew that the top of this attic was a good place.
After all, it was designed by Jia Rong himself, and many things happened here with Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai.
At this moment, looking at the western sky from here, you can still see most of the golden setting sun in the western sky. The golden light came from over there, covering all the women on the fence side in the golden light.
Orbs, gold hairpins and other accessories on their heads reflected colorful light in the golden light.
If it is true, it is an immortal.
Jia Rong glanced around and saw that there were many people upstairs.
There are Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu whispering in the corner; there are Jia Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun holding hands and joking; there are Mrs. You and Aunt Xue sitting on chairs facing the west; there are people holding hands and talking intimately, standing in the best position to enjoy the scenery Wang Xifeng and Grandma Zhu Li Wan; and Jia Yingchun, Jia Xichun, Miss You Er, Miss You San, etc. who stood nearby and didn't speak much.
There is also Keqing sitting near Aunt You and Xue with Ruizhu, Baozhu and Xiangling.
Uncle Rong took a few steps ahead, but it was the maid on the balcony and the master backstage who reacted first. Regardless of their seniority, everyone greeted Uncle Rong with a smile.
At the right time, Li Wan in the crowd didn't know it yet and responded to Wang Xifeng's words first.
"I wanted to take some time off, but you, the former housekeeper, suddenly stopped doing anything, so the ladies had no choice but to call me. A few days ago, the old lady was still hinting that she wanted you to help with the chores occasionally. Take care of the affairs of the Xifu. Nowadays, brother Rong makes the decision on the external affairs of the two houses. It would be convenient for you to communicate with brother Rong if you live here. "
"Ventilation?" Wang Xifeng said with a playful smile on her lips, "We are all members of the same family. Who wouldn't be able to ventilate with Brother Rong? My dear sister-in-law spends a lot of time with him recently. When can I ventilate?"
Brother Rong listened to the chat between the two grandmothers and could only smile bitterly from behind. Sister Feng has really changed. She was such a serious person in the past.
Although Feng Yatou and Feng Lazi were powerful in their methods, they did not speak in such a shady manner.
Brother Rong even suspected that the breath in Sister Feng's mouth was definitely not meant to convey news, nor was it meant to discuss.
Could it be that because she followed him, this girl's mouth became more and more outrageous, and she also learned to be unruly?
Brother Rong thought about it for a while, and after a little aftertaste, he felt that Wang Xifeng used the word "ventilation" very well. There are no water pipes in this world, let alone faucets. The word ventilation is really vivid when placed in this context.
"Today I have to have a good time with this girl."
Uncle Rong smiled to himself and touched his chin. After scratching it twice, he finally found one or two relatively long beards on his chin, and pretended to stroke them.
Just as he was thinking proudly, Uncle Rong suddenly noticed two figures coming towards him. Taking a closer look, one is born delicate and beautiful, and the other is born charming and gorgeous. Who else could it be besides the second and third sisters of the You family?
What is the seniority of these two women? Brother Rong bowed politely and heard You Er happily say: "Brother Rong is finally here, everyone is waiting for you."
"It's my sister-in-law who promoted me." Brother Rong replied nonchalantly. He looked around and then asked, "Why don't you see Uncle Bao? I heard from the maids earlier that Uncle Bao is here too."
"Second Master Bao thought that there were all women upstairs and he found it boring to be here alone, so he returned to the garden early." You Er replied.
"oh."
It would be better if Baoyu was not present.
After all, I felt a little uncomfortable meeting him and them. That day in Yihongyuan, he showed great power. Although Baoyu got some ideas, Brother Rong still felt a little weird after a few days.
What if Baoyu brings Bihen, Sheyue and Xiren with him? That scene...
Tsk tsk, if there is Qingwen, I wonder if this girl will be angry in front of her?
Brother Rong was thinking about how one day he could make some compensation to the maids in Yihongyuan.
It was a bitter day for Bihen and Sheyue.
Brother Rong nodded slightly. The people who were talking next to him also turned around after hearing Brother Rong's voice. Especially Daiyu in the corner couldn't help but smile when she saw Brother Rong's figure.
Xiao Nizi wanted to run over immediately, but after thinking for a moment, she pulled up her face and turned back to talk with Baochai beside her.
Baochai chuckled and said, "How about I give you a chance to be alone during the dinner later?"
"You picked up the rest and brought it to me? I don't want it either." Daiyu snorted duplicitously.
Wang Xifeng, who was the host today, saw Brother Rong coming over and glanced at Li Wan next to him, smiling even more. Feng Lazi made up her mind to see her good sister-in-law make a fool of herself.
