"We were talking, nothing else."
Uncle Rong smiled shamelessly, but received a very charming eye roll from Li Wan.
Grandma Zhu changed her position and followed the bad guy's hand to lie down in Uncle Rong's arms. His eyes were affectionate, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upward, and he really enjoyed the quiet solitude.
Although the princess and concubine of the county have never come here, they are still being cleaned every day.
Today she asked the maids to dress up again, and the aromatic smoke rising from the birds beside them added some exquisite elegance.
Li Wan once loved incense and elegance the most. Nowadays, only when I get along with Brother Rong, I can feel that elegant and leisurely mood. Lying leisurely in the arms of your lover, admiring the fragrance beside you, is such a wonderful and emotional thing.
It's just that this bad guy's hands are very wanton, and he can always disturb her peaceful mood of enjoying fragrance.
But after admiring the fragrance for a while, she crossed her legs and glared at him.
"You're still being honest after being scolded by your wife?" Li Wan felt his heart heat up and said softly. "You can stay here in Conglutang for the rest of your life. Don't even think about going anywhere, let alone do anything you want to do with me."
"really?"
"Seriously." Li Wan sighed softly and glared at him with a blushing face. She took his hand out delicately and resentfully, and said calmly: "You are not afraid that your body will be empty, but I am worried. Youshi only heard you say that you would take care of yourself on the way to Mobei, but I didn't believe it. This rhetoric."
"Why doesn't the palace judge believe that I can still cause trouble in the wedding procession?" Brother Rong said with a frown.
"There can't be any chaos there."
The palace judge slowly got up from Uncle Rong, took his hand and said with a smile.
"Brother Rong has no chance to cause trouble there. The soldiers and officials who are getting married are all men. Although the princess is casual, many of them are maids and maids, which gives you no chance to be alone. Those gifts given to the princess to build a mansion today The servants and maids are all gathered together, even if you want to steal, you can't."
Brother Rong smiled and said, "I only steal from the palace chief grandma at home."
"Don't talk nonsense." Li Wan spat lightly with a smeared face. For a moment, I was overwhelmed by the long-standing guilt in my heart. I felt ashamed of both the ancestors of the Jia and Li families and the deceased Uncle Zhu.
Unbearable with his thoughts, he slowly left Brother Rong's side. An Jing looked at him, took a few breaths in thought, and then said calmly.
"The north is desolate, and the weather there is not as good as in Beijing. It is a long and bumpy journey, crossing grasslands and deserts, and you need a good body. Sharpening a gun in the middle of the battle may not be useful, but it will take a few days to adapt easily. Brother Rong is not here now You just want to have fun, and you need to recuperate your energy instead of being acclimatized in the grassland."
"I am not a delicate and weak brother. Exercise like that can be regarded as sharpening one's skills in battle."
"Bah, I'm going to tell your wife to catch you and skin you."
Li Wan's face became more and more rosy as he thought about having a good conversation with Brother Rong. I felt my hands were so hot that boiling water seemed to overflow from my left and right cheeks. My heart was beating fast, and the original offense of the word "steal" was gradually forgotten.
Lovers sometimes don't need too many words. A look or an action can help you understand what the other person is expressing.
It's time.
Xue Biao invited Aunt Xue to make an appointment. "Auntie, do you have something to tell your nephew?"
"You are the only governor of the Xue family. Have you really decided to follow Brother Rong to Mobei?" Aunt Xue has been thinking about a lot of things these days. She even became concerned about the affairs of the Xue family, which she had rarely interfered with before.
"Despite the hasty calculation, the family has prepared more than ten carts of goods. Now they have been placed outside the city. Just waiting for the wedding procession to set off, my nephew will follow Brother Rong and the others to Mobei." Xue Biao said immaturely. There was a determined look on his face.
"It's not that I won't let you go to Mobei, it's just a long journey..." Aunt Xue frowned slightly, "Girl Qin stayed alone in Jia's house. After all, the family needs a man to support the scene. The shops in Beijing and the business conditions of each province , all need people to take charge and control.”
The little Xue Biao straightened his body and replied: "The general managers and shopkeepers in various provinces only need to follow the work step by step. It is the same as in previous years. There is not much to do. In the past, when the master was still alive, he also led the caravans to the west and north, as far away as the West Sea and as close as the desert. Bei. The child is just going to walk the same path that the master once walked."
"You are too young after all." Aunt Xue sighed quietly.
She doesn't understand business matters, much less understand them. I only know that when wealth comes to an end, the family can eat as much as they want. Pan'er has a loose personality in the big house of the Xue family, but with the help of Bao Yatou, he can barely support the big house property. The second wife's son is very talented, but he is too young.
Now the master of the second house is away, and the wife of the second house is seriously ill. Aunt Xue became the only elder in the two houses who could take care of things.
"Auntie, I forgot that girl Qin traveled all over the country with her father since she was a child. She can go. How can I, the elder brother, fall behind?" Xue Biao chuckled and hid the resentment in the corners of his eyes. "I have to earn a big dowry for Girl Qin no matter what, so that she won't be bullied when she gets married, and others won't dare to look down on her."
After being in Beijing for so long, the attitude of Mei Hanlin's family is so ambiguous. How could he, the elder brother, not be angry at all? Xue Biao knew very well that the Mei Hanlin family no longer looked down upon the Xue family, and the Mei family regretted this marriage.
The eldest and second eldest members of the Xue family are in sympathy with each other.
This is true for the second bedroom, and the same is true for the large bedroom. Aunt Xue could naturally hear the implication of Xue Biao's words, and felt a little sad in her heart. If the Xue family still had its former glory, those matchmakers for Pan'er would have broken the threshold of the Xue family long ago.
The Xue family is rich, but they are still far from being truly wealthy. Those who are officials in the imperial court often despise businessmen, alas...
"More dowry will only give Girl Qin more confidence to speak for the rest of her life." Aunt Xue glanced at Xue Biao's appearance. She looked different from Pan'er, but she could be considered delicate and upright. After he became an adult, he could not be said to be a handsome boy.
She said slowly: "I didn't expect you to leave Beijing. Your sister and I discussed something a few days ago. I wanted to ask Feng Yatou to be the matchmaker and introduce the Xing family girl to you. Now, you want to do it again. Let’s leave Beijing and save a few months for this trip. This matter..."
Xue Tao was stunned for a moment. What young boy doesn't have a child, and then his face felt shy for a while. "According to the arrangement between my aunt and my sister, the matter of Mobei cannot be postponed. My sister also asked people to transport two carts of things from Jinling and asked Zhu'er to go to Mobei to sell them."
"..."
In a corner outside Shenjing City, the shopkeepers of each shop were counting their own goods.
A burly woman looked at the excitement in front of her from a distance and sighed: "It's such a big battle, there must be nearly ten thousand people here."
The traffic is busy and the people are like running water.
A smaller person next to him said. "I'm afraid it won't stop."
"It doesn't matter. When the princess goes out with her ceremonial guard, there will be at least 20,000 caravans behind her." Another charming-looking woman replied coldly, while speaking, she secretly glanced at the petite girl next to her. "This time around Mobei and his party, I'm afraid a certain uncle may have been upset along the way."
The little girl's expression changed. "Let's see who dares to harm me on the road."
The burly woman who spoke first gently pulled the little girl's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Are we waiting here? Why don't we go to Ningguo Mansion?"
"She has no face to see that person, how dare she go to Ningguo Mansion. I don't know if she was fed some kind of ecstasy soup, but she actually..."
"Sister, are you still complaining about me?"
"..."
It was getting late, and the women looked at each other wordlessly under the gradually darkening sky.
There was a place in Ningguo's mansion where a woman was tugging at her clothes and humming. "Of course I have to blame you for jumping out there for no reason. If you do something bad, how can I survive?"
Uncle Rong chuckled and reached out to take out something from the water. "Does the old farmer Daoxiang recognize this thing?"
"The clear spring bathes in the mud, and the teeth break the ice and frost. What did you do with the tender lotus root?"
"Suddenly I noticed that the lotus leaves here are tender and green, and I thought there are a lot of young lotus roots in the water at this time of the year. Today we two farmers will dig a meal here, and we will have some food to go with the wine at night."
"I don't know how deep the water is, how old I am to be so reckless." Li Wan really couldn't do anything to him, so when he saw a wave of water splashed on his clothes, several places were already wet. He stretched out his hand and said, "Come up quickly. If you want to eat, just ask the kitchen to make it and deliver it."
"Everything has been done in the kitchen, it's boring." Brother Rong laughed and said, "The water here is shallow, let's dig out more tender lotus roots, and we can go boating on this stream later, chewing the tender lotus roots while swimming. Lake view.”
Although Li Wan claimed to be an old farmer, he really didn't do much farming work. It was even more impossible to get her into the water. Not to mention the wet clothes and shoes, if a maid comes to look at her, how can she maintain the dignity of Grandma Xi Fuzhu?
Uncle Rong didn't embarrass her, rolled up his trousers and went to the lotus. Bending down, I had a good time groping.
When I came back, I already had a bunch of tender lotus roots in my hand.
The roots are as white and tender as frost, and the strips are as slender as fingers.
"Go back." Li Wan said anxiously.
What reply? Uncle Rong went to the shore, rolled up his trousers, and stepped on the rocks to wash his feet. He had already thrown the tender lotus root he had just touched to Su Yun and Bi Yue next to him, asking them to clean it.
"Did you see a small green boat there? Suyun went and pulled it over, and we took advantage of the darkness to swim in the stream."
Although Li Wan had countless worries in his heart, he couldn't say anything against it after looking at Brother Rong's expression. I thought that rafting on the water would be a pleasure.
Just looking at the sparkling water, I still couldn't help but feel scared. The excuse was: "People will see it."
"If there are no outsiders at home, who would come to the garden?" Uncle Rong smiled indifferently, and a gust of river wind blew his ears and hair, which made him feel so refreshed. In this increasingly sultry weather, the river breeze in the afternoon is indescribably comfortable.
Looking at the palace dresser in the wind, her temperament is as blue as water, and the fluttering dress reflects her exquisite figure.
A soft eyebrow and beautiful eyes, with a rather hesitant look.
She said: "It's not good for your wife or any maid to look at you."
"Wouldn't that be just right?" Brother Rong went over and took her hand, comforting him and saying, "Everyone in Dongfu knows it. It's easier to talk if you are caught, and there is no need to hide it anymore. We don't have to think about it later." We have to find all kinds of reasons to meet each other. Even if I have an accident in Mobei, you can openly shed a few tears for me in Dongfu."
"Pah...bah, bah, bah..."
