"Why are you here?" When the princess of Beijing County saw Brother Rong, her frightened expression suddenly turned into joy.
"I missed you, so I came."
Uncle Rong said with a smile, and there was no flaw in the expression on his face.
Princess Zhen Xun, however, was not fond of lakes. She only looked into the room and saw that it was clearly the courtyard of the fourth princess's mansion. This bad guy suddenly sneaked up, how could he be thinking about himself?
However, she was not prepared to reveal it, and instead let Brother Rong help her sit up. She looked at him carefully and said with a smile: "I haven't taken a good look at you for a long time. I never thought that the handsome young man back then has now become a red-faced and black-faced Master Guan."
"Where is it dark? I'll show you later. It's all white."
"We are at the princess's residence. If any maids from the princess's residence come in. Don't say these words, it is enough to make people embarrassed." The princess's cheeks were pale red, her eyes were as tender as water, and her clear and bright eyes were filled with tears. Reflecting Brother Rong's appearance.
In fact, he is not black.
It's just that the cheeks are red and the skin on the face is much rougher than before. From the looks of it, it looks a little more rugged than before. His appearance and facial features haven't changed much, but his eyes are brighter and more lively.
His white and slender fingers touched Uncle Rong's thick arm, feeling a little shy.
"Brother Rong is getting stronger and stronger."
"Life outside the Great Wall is very tempering. You are exposed to the wind and sun all day long, running around here and there. Last year, you were busy supervising the construction of the Princess's Mansion, and this year, you are busy building the Minister's Office, so your body is naturally strong." Uncle Rong said so, raising his eyebrows Said: "It's better for men to be stronger, so as not to be unable to carry people."
"It just means that I am richer than last year."
"It's just right now."
"Just tell me, which one wants you to take action? How can I meet anyone if I want to be seen by Her Highness the Princess?"
Uncle Rong was surprised. This was the first time that Princess Beijing showed such shame in front of him. It had never been like this even that night, as if this woman had suddenly changed.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether Zhen Xun was embarrassed because she was afraid of being seen by the fourth princess, or because of some kind of emotional expression in her heart.
"I can't help myself when I see Xun'er," he replied.
"Don't be so careless." The princess hummed softly, looking around with her eyes. He said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that what Brother Rong just said will reach the ears of the princess?"
"What am I afraid of?"
"In the princess's palace, you are also hooking up with other women. Are you really not afraid that the princess will know?" The princess smiled calmly. Although she didn't find any hiding place around, she had already guessed the reason why Brother Rong appeared here.
"I came here at the invitation of the princess, and I will stay here tonight. How did Brother Rong come here?" The second girl of the Zhen family also has a cunning and cute side. She threatened: "I wonder where your highness the princess is when you come here? Everyone is secretly looking at us. What Brother Rong said just now has already been heard by Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Look when you see, listen when you listen." How could Uncle Rong not know clearly? According to the temperament of the fourth princess, this girl might even be hiding under the bed. But he doesn't want to choose which one, and he won't make the princess sad just because she is a princess.
Of course, all of this was just to take advantage of the fourth princess's affection for him, so he had nothing to fear.
This is the confidence to be favored. Although it is a scumbag behavior, it is what Brother Rong thinks is the best way to deal with the matter at hand. Since the fourth princess has already tested her like this, why bother to hide her anymore? Besides, he is not the real prince-in-law.
Only the Prince Consort can protect His Royal Highness the Princess.
"Let's leave her alone. Even if she hides in one place and peeks all night, she is free." Uncle Rong deliberately raised his voice.
"You bad bastard."
The princess had no time to stop her, and because of Uncle Rong's verbal attack, she stopped caring about where this place was, and didn't think about whether Her Highness the Princess was peeking somewhere or arranging for a maid to eavesdrop.
Only those who have tasted the pain of lovesickness know it. Originally, before Uncle Rong left Beijing, the relationship between the two was very close. It was unimaginable that they had not seen each other for a year. I never thought much about a scumbag like Uncle Rong. As the saying goes, when you have a new love, you forget about the old love.
If you are about to forget a relationship, the best way is to start a new relationship.
It just hurts the person I miss all the time.
When the two of them were having sex, the eavesdropping maid hurriedly went to the next hall to spread the news. The fourth princess frowned after hearing this, but she just waved her hands and let the maid continue to eavesdrop.
However, this listening is a lot of time.
"Brother-in-law hasn't come out yet? What are they talking about over there? Do you want to spend the night?"
The maid was hard to answer.
The night got darker, and the fourth princess finally got tired of waiting. She had a rather weird temperament, so she made a prompt decision and led the two maids to the next door.
Hearing the movement inside, the fourth princess glared at the maid fiercely.
In my heart, I hummed at this bison-turned-brother-in-law.
He only silenced the maid beside him and quietly led the two maids into the room. Seeing the scene in the room, I wasn't upset at all, and I still had some restraint and peeked from the side.
She could even hear the words "good heart" inside, which further tempted her to take a closer look.
Outside the room, the bright white flowers in the courtyard were swaying gently in the wind of Mobei. There are even birds singing softly on the branches of the cold-resistant trees in the courtyard, telling each other secrets.
While Her Royal Highness the Princess was listening, she suddenly saw a figure flying from the room. Before she had time to call out, Her Royal Highness the Princess was pulled into the room.
The two maids next to him were left looking at each other in confusion, and the flowers, grass, and birds outside the room were all watching the excitement.
"Master, please come back soon."
Since Ping'er gave birth to a girl, her status in Ningguo Mansion has been upgraded. Although he still lives with Sister Feng, there are also a few more maids around him.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
But Ping'er was a little unhappy. After all, she is a girl, not the boy she wanted to lead.
"It won't be long before the road outside the Great Wall is opened. There have been many changes in the court. Without the decree of the palace, it will be difficult for the uncle to come back for a while." The maid arranged Ping'er's hair for a while, and then took a single piece of clothing and put it on Ping'er. . Question: "Sister, aren't you ready to take a rest?"
Ping'er was about to go back to her, but someone came outside the wing.
"Grandma and sister Zhaoping have passed over."
"What did you say?" Ping'er asked.
"Grandma said directly that it happened in the inner house of the East Mansion." The little maid in Sister Feng's nursery replied.
The maid next to Ping'er snickered and said, "I think grandma called my sister over to hold a candle night talk."
A blush flashed across Ping'er's crisp little face, and she said angrily: "Chew your tongue, and next time you make nonsense, I will send you to the manor to be married."
"My sister doesn't dare anymore."
This girl is also close to Ping'er, and Ping'er treats them very well, so she can joke around. However, in recent days, the maids in this courtyard have been gossiping in private.
I originally thought that Sister Feng often summoned Sister Ping at night to set rules and teach Sister Ping etiquette. Later, more often, I saw Grandma Feng and Sister Ping harmonious in detail during the day. Although they were superior and inferior, Sister Ping didn't seem to always have rules set.
I never heard Sister Ping complain.
As maids, they didn't know what was going on in these two mansions. What is Aunt Zhao like in the West, where she is often taught how to behave and have rules? But there are many complaints in private.
Later, I heard from the girl in the big room, and I could occasionally hear Yingying's soft words inside. For a moment, the girls in the small courtyard saw that Grandma Feng and Sister Ping were slightly ambiguous.
Ping'er put on his clothes and left the wing. When he arrived at Wang Xifeng's room, the two of them rested and talked casually.
In the other courtyard separated by the wall lived Rong's grandma Qin.
Since Uncle Rong left Shenjing, all affairs in the Ningguo Mansion have been managed by Grandma Rong. The affairs of the Jia family were also handled with the help of Wang Xifeng.
It turns out that Uncle Rong's plan to let Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai take charge of the Jia family clan failed to be implemented in the end. The master of the eighth house of the Jia family in Shenjing only recognized Grandma Rong, so for many matters within the clan, the mother-in-law always had to go to Grandma Rong of Ningguo Mansion to ask about it.
Seeing this, Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai were too busy to take the initiative to ask about family affairs.
At first, Qin Keqing was always in a hurry when he first took over the Jia family clan. Even with Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai giving advice behind the scenes, Grandma Rong often went to Grandma Zhen Youshi.
Pianyou has never been in charge of family affairs and has no experience to speak of. In addition, Youshi has many personal reasons, and he does not want to get involved in any decision-making matters inside and outside the Jia family.
Grandma Rong, who was deeply stressed, even thought of asking Princess Zhongshun, but she gave up the idea because the palace was busy with internal affairs.
Fortunately, I gradually got used to it and became familiar with various things. Just like this, the daughter-in-law of the eighth brother of the Jia family ran to Ningguo Mansion every two days, just to ask for a good job for the descendants of the eighth brother of the Jia family in Shenjing.
"How many more clan fields have been added this year? Has it been implemented? The clan's charity kiln should also be expanded to allow more clan members to earn a living."
Ruizhu replied: "According to grandma, we have added hundreds of acres of family land this year, and we have spent thousands of taels of silver. All this money came from the east, and we did not let the west take it. People outside only know that The two governments are prosperous, and there are more people coming and going, and life in the west has been tight lately."
"You move around more, and you have more favors. The dignity of the Duke's Mansion cannot be less. Let's invite Feng Lazi next door and Aunt Zhu who lives in the big garden to come over tomorrow. The ladies in the west don't care about things, and neither can the young ones. Watching the family suffer losses.”
Ruizhu nodded a few times and said with a smile: "Grandma now really has the air of a patriarch's wife. It's just the Yi Kiln thing, but I don't care about it. I saved a few children, and those who are motivated have already gone to Heishan Village or followed Xiaoqiang. The second master has gone to Jinghu. The only thing left is no hardship, and everyone is waiting for relief from the clan. "
"How can this be true? The clan's charity money can only prevent them from starving to death, and the rest of the money is also prepared for those clansmen who are willing to make progress. This year, Lange'er from Xifu passed the child examination and should be given a typical award. A big sum of money. I heard that Brother Jun who lives in the back street is very talented. He will also take the children's examination in the past two years. His mother, Lou, has also come here several times. People like them deserve relief. "
Ruizhu said: "I'm just afraid that the Yi Kiln will be expanded, but not many people are willing to go. Even if they know that they are in charge of the affairs in the past, not many people are willing to go."
"No one wanted to go, so we hired people from outside to take care of it. As long as the kiln is profitable, the money will be given to the people in charge." Qin Keqing said calmly, thinking about it. He wanted to say something more, but he could only shake his head.
When the recent disciples of the two prefectures heard that Jia Qian and Jia Qin had made money in Heishan Village, those who had the desire to make money and were willing to walk out of Ningrong's backstreets followed Jia Qian, Jia Qin and Lai Sheng.
Later, another group followed Jia Qiang to Jinghu.
In the few rooms in Shenjing, there are really not many people who are willing to take the matter seriously, and everyone is just muddle along.
Originally, according to Qin Keqing's idea, these people had eaten up the whole family, so the clan would not support them at all, forcing them to look for ways to make a living outside.
But this decision was contradicted by Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai. After all, they were both descendants of Ning Rong, so how could they really be so heartless.
Uncle Rong's reputation will be ruined by this incident.
All matters, big and small, were decided late into the night. Grandma Rong was deeply tired, but she was used to living like this. It was only late at night, when the maids were wiping my body and lying on the bed, that I had time to think about Uncle Rong who was out there.
"When will you come back?"
"I'm not going back." In Yixia Pavilion, Lin Daiyu left with a blushing face and hugged the quilt.
Xue Baochai screamed and urged Ying'er: "You didn't stop her or find me some clothes."
Ying'er smiled and said, "I know that Miss Lin is thin-skinned and can't stand this, but grandma went out of her way to make fun of her."
"You're not joking, but I want you to know in advance the methods that our uncle is used to." Xue Baochai put on his clothes and said angrily: "Who knows what Brother Rong is thinking. I'm so moved when I see this beautiful appearance of Zhuo'er. . He has such a frowning look on his face that no one wants to pity him, but he is indifferent."
Ying'er secretly said: "Miss Lin pretends to be an uncle in her heart, not grandma. How can Miss Lin not be evil for what grandma did just now?"
Xue Baochai licked her pale red lips and said with a smile: "I just want to taste the rouge on her mouth for him, and I also want her to know what a good taste is."
"..."
Xue Baochai put on her shoes and hurried downstairs to Lin Daiyu's room.
In the Yixia Pavilion at night, two girls were talking softly, sometimes getting angry and sometimes humming. Finally, when Uncle Rong was mentioned, the noise in the pavilion gradually became weaker. Each of the women misses her deeply, but Xue Baochai misses her the most.
"I don't want to share a room with you, so as not to be disturbed by your sleepy voice calling Brother Rong in your sleep."
"Zi'er also barked last night."
"..."
"Go to bed early. It happens that there is nothing going on at home tomorrow, so I will invite Xi Ren, She Yue and the other girls to come here to play."
Some more time passed.
In the Mobei Princess Mansion, the Princess of Beijing County became increasingly depressed.
The fourth princess laughed at her: "Are you worried that your brother-in-law will never come to Mobei again after returning to Shenjing?"
The princess of Beijing County was silent, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Naturally, this kind of worry exists, for fear that Brother Rong will not be able to see him again if he returns to Shenjing.
Similarly, there are still worries about the Zhen family. I want to ask Brother Rong to help the Zhen family at a critical moment, but I don’t know how to ask.
Finally, it turned into a long sigh.
The fourth princess smiled: "You still have hope of returning to Beijing. And I..."
