"You also know it's cold."
The tigress finally showed her terrifying fangs.
"I admit defeat." Uncle Rong retracted his hands with great self-knowledge, but in order to express his dissatisfaction, he did not forget to sweep his hands before withdrawing.
Wang Xifeng was so angry that he chased him forward, leaving a mark on his lips with the sharp and terrifying fangs.
This girl is determined to ruin my good deeds.
Uncle Rong touched his lips, and there was a dull pain there.
Wang Xifeng next to him was so proud that he didn't forget to interrogate him.
"What benefits are you going to grant to the Xue family?" Sister Feng has her own reasons for resentment. As she said before, the Xue family has brothers, the Wang family has brothers, and the Qin family also has brothers. The Qin brothers have made progress now and don't need to worry about it.
The brothers of the Xue family and the Wang family are more ridiculous than the other.
Xue Pan is hiding outside now, and he probably won't be able to do anything. The Wang family brother now lives in Beijing, but he is idle and wanders around the casino. If Jia Rong dares to grant benefits to the Xue family, how can the Wang family lose their share?
That's what she thought.
Uncle Rong replied carelessly. "Isn't the Xue family responsible for the export sales of the cement kiln factory? They just let them go to several hinterland provinces. It just so happens that this year the Water Conservancy Camp Office is working in the fourth department. Taking advantage of this spring breeze, we should be able to make a lot of money. It’s silver.”
"You still use the imperial calendar of which year to bluff me." Wang Xifeng is so smart. Today is Baochai's birthday, and I knocked on the Xue family's door again, but this slick guy didn't even give me a big gift.
This great gift is indispensable for Uncle Rong's effort, effort, effort, and hard work.
Brother Rong saw that she didn't believe it, and he didn't intend to lie to her intentionally. He had no choice but to talk about Prince Zhongshun asking him to marry the fourth princess, and then said: "Isn't Xue Biao in the house now? Even though his father traveled abroad when he was young, he knew all about the northwest, Mobei and other places. So he thought The two members of the Xue family are asked to join forces to form a caravan, follow the wedding procession to Mobei, and then enter Eros for trade."
"Are you going to Mobei?" Wang Xifeng didn't hear a word of what he said next.
For people in Shenjing, the only impression of Mobei is that it is far away. Followed by Mongolia, grasslands, and red-haired ghosts.
Brother Rong obviously noticed that something was wrong with Sister Feng's voice and nodded silently.
Wang Xifeng asked with a trembling throat: "Do you have to go? It's so far there, and you've never been on such a far trip. How can I...my family feel at ease?"
Brother Rong lowered his head and looked at Sister Feng's hand that grabbed his wrist. She was very strong.
"It's impossible not to go. Prince Zhongshun has already made a decision. He will probably report to the palace today."
"You are not a member of Prince Zhongshun's palace, so why did you go instead? Are you a descendant of their palace? A prince in the palace? It's not your turn anyway." Wang Xifeng said anxiously, "What's going on outside, these days? Rumors are spreading throughout the family. The red-haired ghost is restless, and Mobei is even more restless. Let’s go to the palace and push this matter away. Even if we stay in Yingtian Mansion as a minor official for the rest of our lives, it would be better than going to Mobei."
"Don't worry, Mobei is actually not far away. In terms of distance, it is the distance to Suzhou. In our family, there is no letter from Suzhou in any month. Mobei is not peaceful, and it has nothing to do with me. I am going For the princess to marry, if Mobei is in chaos, the King of Mobei must first protect the princess and me."
Brother Rong replied easily.
Things are actually not as bad as imagined. Mobei is remote. This remoteness is just a little more difficult on the road. But the team of royal married women is limited even if it is difficult.
Jia Rong is not worried. Looking at Wang Xifeng with a sad face, he couldn't laugh out loud. I can only hold this girl gently, the sweet-smelling little girl, the soft little girl.
The huge palm caressed Xiao Nizi's thin back without any teasing movements.
Because, even through the thick coats between the two of them, he could feel Sister Feng's nervousness and even hear her anxious heartbeat.
Wang Xifeng is no longer the calm Mistress Lian, nor is she Brother Feng who is fearless in heaven and earth.
She leaned into Brother Rong's arms, raised her head, and swallowed her words just as she was about to speak.
Brother Rong just looked at her, listening to what she would say.
Sister Feng hesitated for a moment before asking, "How long will it take to go this time?"
"I don't know the specific time, but I think it won't be too long. One time and another, including the wedding ceremony of the princess and Prince Mobei, etc., it can be seven or eight months at the earliest, or a year at the earliest." Brother Rong replied honestly.
"One year." Wang Xifeng calculated silently. Suddenly asked again: "Do Qin and the others know that you are going to Mobei?"
"I mentioned it to Keqing, but I didn't go into details. Baochai hasn't told me yet. I have to talk to you about the matter that has just been decided today."
"Everything has become a nail-biter. What's the use of talking to me now? Can it be regarded as a way to ventilate?" Wang Xifeng snorted, pushed Uncle Rong away, and returned to his original domineering appearance. "You don't have to talk to me about these things in the future. You can just leave when the day comes."
Brother Rong chuckled and took her slender, white fingers.
"Sister Feng is the most powerful grandmother in both houses. Naturally, such a big matter must be discussed with Sister Feng outside as soon as possible."
"I only pick up nice things to say."
Wang Xifeng glared at him angrily and saw that all the people in front of her were gone. Biting her lower lip, she said, "It's so cold that my legs are frozen. Please carry me back."
Brother Rong looked at her in surprise, completely unable to believe that these were the words that Wang Xifeng could say.
"Forget it if you don't memorize it."
"Carry, carry, carry." Uncle Rong laughed, how could he let her go. He quickly stepped forward and knelt down, took Sister Feng's hand and pulled it to her shoulder.
Lin Hongyu, who was holding a lantern, was completely stunned. Second Mistress Lian, who was feared by everyone in the two houses, actually had such a side. Uncle Xiao Rong from Dongfu, who gives the impression of being powerful and talented, actually has such a sense of humor.
I really can't understand it, I can't understand it.
Lin Hongyu was holding a lantern and leading the way, and her ears were filled with the laughter of Second Mistress and Uncle Xiao Rong.
The relaxed laughter seemed as if the heavy conversation just now didn't exist.
Occasionally I would take a peek and feel inexplicably envious.
Although the two of them were not in harmony with each other, the laughter they shared now was real, and so was the heaviness and tension just now. It was the first time for her to see such a sentimental person, even though she had not seen much.
"It's still the same as when I was little. I'm always dishonest." The second grandma smiled like an innocent little girl.
"It shows that my heart is firm and has not changed after so many years." Uncle Xiao Rong chuckled.
Lin Hongyu could see clearly that Uncle Xiao Rong was clearly shaking his shoulders vigorously and deliberately.
The shadows on the ground change back and forth as they move forward step by step.
The second grandma snorted: "You didn't have such courage or strength before."
"In order to be able to carry you, why don't I make myself stronger?"
"..."
"Hold on tight."
"..."
The three of them passed the Yimen of Huifang Garden, and continued walking without caring about the sight of the maids in the mansion. Wang Xifeng didn't react until she passed by Youshi's courtyard and quickly urged Brother Rong to put her down.
It's impossible to go any further. When you turn the corner of the house, you, Qin, Baochai and others must be there.
It doesn't matter what Sister Feng looks like in front of Brother Rong. She still has to maintain her original temperament in front of them and other servants.
The prestige of the dominatrix cannot be ruined.
"You two have a long way to go." Youshi glanced at Feng Lazi and Rong'er angrily, and then ordered Yindie, Ruizhu, and Baozhu to lead Feng Lazi and Bao Yatou into the courtyard to take a look.
Wang Xifeng's expression didn't even change when she heard Youshi's words. He said, "I can't recognize the road in the courtyard where I lived? Is Ping'er here?"
Ke Qing replied: "I'm afraid she has already rested at this time, so why bother to bother her again. There are also two little maids in Xiangling's room, who can take good care of her. Today, I only want to offend you to separate two maids from me. Come and serve me temporarily, and tomorrow I will look for two women and a few more maids."
Qin Keqing did it impeccably, so Wang Xifeng had no choice but to nod in agreement and look at Baochai again. Ruo said pointedly:
"Where is Bao Yatou's yard? Let's go and have a look, so we don't go to the wrong door later."
Uncle Rong doesn't have to worry about going in the wrong direction. There are only a few courtyards in the Ningguo Mansion, and you can walk around them even if you squint your eyes. Besides, it’s my own home anyway, so it doesn’t matter even if I knock on the wrong door in the dark one day. In the inner house here, the only place you can't go to at night is Youshi's Courtyard.
No one else lives here either.
I'm not going to look.
Youshi smiled and said: "There are still two empty courtyards here. These two courtyards are in a row, just behind where Rong's daughter-in-law lives. The two courtyards are similar, except for the furniture and furnishings. Although they are not comparable. Places like Hengwuyuan and Xiaoxiang Pavilion are more convenient in the cold winter and spring."
Wang Xifeng said: "That's right, it's very cold in the first month of the year. When I walked from the garden tonight, I was lucky that I didn't see any snow or rain, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to walk."
Xue Baochai was not a picky person, so he turned a corner and came to the back row of the hospital room where Qin Keqing and Sister Feng were staying. After entering the first room, he said, "This is a great place. There isn't too much stuff. It's just the right place to stay."
Wang Xifeng looked around curiously and found that the yards were not much different in size and had similar layouts. Everything smelled shabby, and not a single window was made of glass.
Uncle Rong happened to catch Sister Feng's slightly disgusted look. What a girl, who did you show this expression to? I couldn't help but slapped him with my hand.
A soft muffled sound came from Sister Feng's body, and the originally inconspicuous sound was particularly clear in the Youning night. It attracted the attention of everyone who was walking into the room with Baochai.
No clues can be seen.
They knew clearly that Brother Rong and Sister Feng were causing trouble, but no one knew what was going on except the maid holding the lamp next to them.
When everyone turned around as if nothing had happened, Wang Xifeng stared at Brother Rong with piercing eyes. "Keep fooling around, don't even think about sneaking into Baochai's place today."
What a powerful threat.
Scared, scared.
"I just want to be with you." Uncle Rong was really happy today, so happy that he was a little carried away, even too much. I always want to tease Sister Feng.
Maybe it's because Wang Xifeng rarely looks like a little woman.
How can I describe this feeling? It is extremely exciting and satisfying. If it wasn't Baochai's birthday today and I had something important to discuss with Baochai at night, otherwise I would have sneaked into Sister Feng's room anyway.
Men, you can see a woman worrying about herself, you can see a woman even taking off her outer disguise to reveal her soft side.
How can you not be moved or heartbroken?
The soft charm that no man can resist.
Especially when a strong woman shows her soft side, its lethality is even greater, comparable to the little boy descending on Hiroshima.
Mature women will not dislike the childish side that men occasionally show.
Just after hearing the words "I just want to be with you", the smile on Wang Xifeng's face became extremely bright.
Like a flower, like a rainbow.
It's clearly in the night, and it's clearly under the light of a not-so-bright lantern. Wang Xifeng's smile was as bright as the sun. The rare tenderness and rare peace are all reflected in her smile.
Beauty, beauty is absolutely indispensable.
Wang Xifeng has always been beautiful, but her charm is even greater now. The charm that captivates the soul, the charm that can restore the heartbeat of the dead.
At this moment, one can ignore Sister Feng's exquisite figure, or even ignore her splendid, delicate and beautiful appearance, which is like a concubine and a fairy.
Just looking at her smile will make you fall in love.
"Don't mess around, I'll wait for you tomorrow night."
A quiet voice and a gentle tone came from the once domineering Wang Xifeng's mouth. The warm breath penetrated into Brother Rong's ears along with the sound.
itch.
The ears itch and the heart itch even more.
The hairs all over his body stood up quietly.
Brother Rong was enjoying this wonderful feeling, immersed in it, and had no time to speak in the future. Wang Xifeng chuckled and led Lin Hongyu away.
Just left.
Left the yard.
Uncle Xiao Rong stared blankly at the door of the courtyard. It was empty, with only the lantern hanging on the lintel shining brightly.
After provoking him face to face, he ran away quietly.
As long as you are a man, you can't stand it.
Little did he know that the smile on Wang Xifeng's face was even brighter than before. Like an adolescent girl, like a girl in love.
Youth, vitality, sunshine, beauty, it turns out that these words that are not comparable to Wang Xifeng are all reflected in her body.
…………
"Let's take a look at the yard next door as well." You suggested.
Baochai shook his head. "It's getting late, and this is an excellent place. I'm satisfied with it inside and out, but I can't find anything bad about it. I'll rest here today, and I won't waste my wife's or grandma's time."
After hearing this, Qin Keqing couldn't help but smile and take Baochai's hand, "You also like to tell jokes. I know you still have something to say, so we won't disturb you here. Later, I will separate two people from the room. Here comes an obedient maid and asks them to serve here."
Grandma Zhen Youshi saw that Baochai was about to refuse, so she continued: "I know that the girl Ying'er beside you is well-behaved and obedient, but you can't let Ying'er do everything. With two more maids, the trivial things around you It’s good to have someone to take care of small things. If Ying’er has more free time, she can better follow and take care of her.”
Qin and You sang in harmony and settled the matter.
After the two people left, Baochai still smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't want the little maid, they gave it to me. There is nothing important around me, so why do I need so many people to help me."
"When you enter the mansion, your status is different. You can't be looked down upon. Although tacky pomp is not practical, it is very necessary in a family like this." Brother Rong understands this very well.
Only after seeing the pomp of these princes and ministers did I understand a truth.
It turns out that everything is subject to comparison, but the higher you go, the less meaningful the comparisons are. However, these meaningless comparisons are extremely important to those people.
Just like the sisters of a big family comparing the appearance and talents of the servants around them.
Just like brothers from a big family comparing themselves to the supervisors who went to school, they also compare the backgrounds of their classmates.
There are no servants in ordinary people's homes, and it is difficult for servants in the rich family to have outstanding six arts. Most of the disciplines in the world are children and scholars, and only those with great wealth and noble family background can seek refuge with them.
Everywhere is showing identity and highlighting different classes.
Class boundaries are often artificially represented by certain concrete things, such as mud, pianos, golf balls, etc. when he was a child in his previous life. Those who grew up playing mud and those who grew up playing piano are definitely not in the same class.
Jia Rong hates this kind of class division and hates this kind of comparison. But living in this world, when you are unable to change but must integrate into it, it is best not to be too independent.
Because that would be a lot more trouble.
If you just want to be beautiful alone, then everything is free.
Jia Rong is a person who is afraid of trouble. "Let them serve you for one night. If you are still not used to it, I will talk to Mrs. Qin tomorrow. In this courtyard, you are the master and the only grandma."
"I just like to see you tell lies that sound like the truth." Xue Baochai smiled lightly and put his arms around Brother Rong's neck before he could refute. "Just now you carried Feng Yatou all the way here, now it's time to carry me in."
This can also be compared, which Jia Rong never expected.
Yeah, it has some weight.
It is indeed heavier than Sister Feng.
In the inner room, candlelight flickered.
Ying'er was sent to the outhouse to wait for the arrival of the new maid.
"What gifts has our uncle Rong prepared this year?" Xue Baochai sat on a pair of soft boards, facing each other. Protecting Uncle Rong's neck with both hands, he asked seriously.
"Two copies, birthday gifts, things."
How could a serious sister understand his mysterious reference? She didn't understand until she checked and he straightened up.
"That's what I thought." Baochai chuckled, and even blushed after saying this. He added: "This alone is not enough. It is just a gift, and the gift has not yet arrived."
"What a great gift." Uncle Rong sent the princess to Mobei and told her about Eroschakoto's trade and other matters.
Jia Rong's expectant expression did not appear.
Xue Baochai thought seriously and seemed not to care at all whether Brother Rong would go to Mobei or how long it would take to send the princess off for marriage. She was thinking about the feasibility of the Xue family organizing a caravan to go to Kyaktu, and whether she could make money there.
Brother Rong misses Sister Feng a little now.
"It's not impossible, but it's not enough for the Xue family to contribute money alone. Our Ningguo Mansion also contributes a team of people and money, and the Wang family also contributes a share. In this way, no matter the profit or loss, no one from any family has anything to say."
Romance
Xue Baochai wore a faint smile, but the words in his mouth were extremely serious.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
I originally planned to have 8,000 words for this chapter, but I couldn’t keep it up. I'm sleepy, so I'll keep posting like this, and then continue coding during the day.
