Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 193
People are always attracted by novelty.Jia Rong was no exception, looking at Baochai wearing a long cloak, she couldn't help but fantasize about the appearance inside.

The bastard glanced left and right, thinking of trying to find out the difference between what Baochai asked someone to make and the previous life.

As soon as he passed by, Baochai avoided vigilantly.

"We are afraid that Aunt Bao will not be comfortable wearing it. If it hurts her body, we will be guilty of a great crime." Brother Rong hung his hands and said with an embarrassed smile: "I have no other intentions. When did we lie?"

With a cry of anger, Xue Baochai called out with a red face, "Ying'er sent Master Xiao Rong out."

this girl...

When Jia Rong saw Ying'er, it was hard to reach out.He's not that beastly yet, he would do unrefined things to Baochai in front of others.

Brother Rong said softly: "Now that we have a pattern, we will make a few more sets inside and out."

Xue Baochai felt that Jia Rong was thinking something wrong again, and said angrily, "I won't continue to do it."

"Auntie misunderstood us. Now that we have made the style, we will continue to improve it to make it more comfortable to wear. We will add a few more styles, and when we can mass-produce them, we will push them to the female relatives in various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River." Rong Ge Er'er laughed and said, "But it's not urgent, these things are easy to be imitated and weaved. So we have to reserve one or two latecomers. When others imitate the simplest one, we will recommend a better one."

Xue Baochai was originally a son of an imperial merchant, so he understood business matters better than he did.After hearing this, I immediately understood.Said: "If this business can be sustained, there must be great benefits. How should the Ningguo Mansion and the Xue family divide the accounts?"

This stumped Jia Rong.Although the idea is valuable, it's not easy for him to open his mouth to his woman.After all, material purchase, clothes weaving, and sales are all managed by the Xue family, and even the follow-up research and development is also in charge of the Xue family.But Jia Rong would not be reconciled to sending all of them to Xue's family for nothing.

It's all money.

Seeing his appearance, Xue Baochai snorted softly.Said: "That's what you look like. Separately, I will be responsible for the purchase and weaving in the future, and the sales will go to Xue's business."

When Brother Rong was puzzled.

Baochai bit her lower lip and said, "I'm not greedy for your money either. The Xue family and I are only responsible for this business. The Xue family pays for the purchase and weaving, and sixty-four percent of the profit from the sale. Sixty percent belongs to Ningguo Mansion, [-]% go back to Xue's house."

It doesn't feel right.Didn't do anything, just get [-]% of the idea?When did Baochai become so talkative?

Just in time, Daiyu who had changed her clothes next door came towards her.Baochai glanced at him, blushed and said, "I will keep [-]% of the Ningguo Mansion. When you tell your mother about our affairs, the [-]% interest will be sent to Ningguo Mansion as soon as my dowry is contracted."

What a Xue Baochai, the calculation in his heart is to play brilliantly.

If Jia Rong didn't go to Aunt Xue to talk about their relationship for a day, [-]% of the clothes business would go into Baochai's private treasury.Nominally, the [-]% belonged to the Ningguo Mansion, and even the Xue family couldn't take it away if they wanted to pursue her private house.

This girl is definitely a profiteer when she goes into business.

Brother Rong saw that Lin Daiyu had come in, so he couldn't say anything more.He hummed softly, "I'll settle the score with you when I go to Jinling."

Xue Baochai smiled lightly and said, "Ying'er is not sending Master Xiao Rong out yet."

Seeing Brother Rong secretly gritted his teeth and left, Baochai felt even happier.How could she let Brother Rong eat up so easily, even if she couldn't be the main house, she still had to take these things to get a position in Ningguo Mansion.A position that even Grandma Rong cannot bully casually.

Xue Baochai, who is precocious, knows all this very well. Only when her mother's family has power and money can she have status in her husband's family. Even if she doesn't have these things, she must become an indispensable role.Grandma Rong's family was poor, but she was accepted as a god-in-law by the concubine, and no one could underestimate this grandma.Although the Xue family is rich, Baochai still needs to continue to increase the money.

It is said that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, but Jia Rong couldn't understand why the young Baochai had so many twists and turns in her heart, this girl really didn't want to suffer at all.

…………

On this day, Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai had already returned to Jinling.Jia Rong has also gone to the Hedao Yamen to report that he is patrolling Hongze Lake with some old river workers from Yingtian Prefecture.

Suddenly I heard a horse galloping outside.It's the servant who runs errands in Lin Ruhai's house.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jia Rong asked.

With a smile on his face, the young man said eagerly, "It's a happy event. The master has to hear the holy voice today, and in a few days he should set off for work in Beijing."

Oh?
I don't know where the bifurcation happened. Lin Ruhai, who died in Yangzhou in Jia Rong's memory, did not have any accidents, but now he has to be transferred back to Shenjing.

"It's indeed a happy event. What's the reason for letting you come here?" Jia Rong asked suspiciously.

The young man continued to laugh and said, "It's not just this happy event. I received a letter from Beijing today, and the one who entered the palace from Mr. Zheng's family chose Fengzao Palace to be the concubine. The second master Lian has already boarded the ship and headed north. Going to catch up with the fun. The master asked Master Xiaorong to go back to the Lin Mansion in the next two days to explain some important matters."

Jia Rong froze on the spot.

Is Yuanchun a concubine?Although he has forgotten many plots, he vaguely remembers that when Yuan Chun became a concubine, it was the birthday of a certain member of Jia's family.In the past ten days or so, no one in the Jia family should have passed their lives.

The time is not right.

Could it be that, like Lin Ruhai, he was affected by something, which caused the time of Yuanchun to become a concubine to change?I don't know whether this change is developing in a good way or a bad way.

But for now, it can indeed be regarded as a good thing.He was just worried that the Jia family's gentlemen and wives would no longer keep a low profile because of Yuan Chun's concubine, and cause unknown disasters instead.

Prosperity and decline.

Now the Jia family is about to reach the peak, but the higher the peak, the more dangerous it is.If there is a choice, Jia Rong does not want Yuanchun to be a concubine.The best option is to wait a year or two until Yuanchun turns 25 and is released from the palace.

It's a pity that Jia Rong can't decide and influence these things.

He took a small piece of broken silver from his pocket and rewarded the boy, saying: "Go back and report to my aunt, I will go back in the afternoon."

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao Rong." The servant who took the money was all smiles, thanked left and right after a long meal, and hurried back to Yangzhou.

Duan Yu looked at his sad face, and joked: "In the future, you will also be a relative of the emperor, why are you still so sad when such a good thing happens?"

Brother Rong chuckled: "I'm not afraid that you will make a fuss and ask us to buy a drink. We don't have any money on us."

"Today is different from the past, but wine is still required."

Duan Yu laughed out loud, and the people around him also booed.Even the unsmiling Old River Worker was also happy. Seeing this, Jia Rong hurriedly said: "Brothers, please forgive me. I will invite you to drink this wine. However, I have to leave early in the morning. From here to Yangzhou is the closest It’s still a day’s journey away. It’s specified that you can’t drink it today, just wait until I come back.”

In this way, everyone just spared him.

That night.

King Zhongshun called Jia Rong over.

"Have you received the news from Shenjing?"

"I got the news." Jia Rong replied honestly.

King Zhongshun nodded, and said: "It's expected that your Jia family will be favored by the Supreme Emperor again, but I didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor would favor your Jia family so much. He also intends to grant you to walk for the Daming Palace, yourself What do you think?"

Ok?
Jia Rong heard many meanings from King Zhongshun's words.First, the title of concubine in Yuanchun is related to the Supreme Emperor; second, the Supreme Emperor intends to allow himself to be on duty in the palace, but the emperor and King Zhongshun are not willing.

Brother Rong said with a smile: "The Supreme Emperor is so kind, I should go back to the Daming Palace to thank you. However, the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are complicated. If the Huanghuai waters are not properly managed, I will be ashamed of the emperor's kindness."

Sure enough, as soon as Brother Rong finished speaking, he saw the satisfied smile on King Zhongshun's face.He went on to say: "Although you can bathe in the emperor's grace day and night in Daming Palace, you can't see the suffering people in the world. If the flood in the south of the Yangtze River is not eliminated for a day, you will never return to Beijing."

The Thirteenth Lord nodded and smiled: "It's good to have such a heart. However, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River will not disappear in a day, and the camps in Jingji still need you. How can you stay in the south of the Yangtze River forever. Besides, your wife is still pregnant. My child, if I force you to stay here forever, the concubine will not be able to settle accounts with me."

Brother Rong smirked twice.But I was thinking in my heart that it was too coincidental.A few days ago, Xiao Que'er brought Jia Jing's words, asking herself not to return to Beijing in the near future.Not long after Yuanchun became a concubine, she also intends to transfer herself to the palace as a guard of the forbidden palace.

Could it be that the matter of concubine Yuanchun was planned long ago?But where did Jia Jing get the news?

Dai Quan?

Or the King of Beijing County?

So whose idea was it that he transferred himself to the Forbidden Palace?Why did Jia Jing ask himself not to go to the Forbidden Palace?

Jia Rong couldn't understand the relationship.

Just listen to King Zhongshun and said: "In this case, it is best to patrol the river with the officials of the river yamen. It is not a long-term solution to discharge the flood water of the Yellow River and the Gaoyou Lake into the river. After returning to Beijing, the king will tell you to plan for you today." The official position of a water conservancy camp envoy."

Jia Rong showed doubts in his eyes, he had never heard of such an official position.

King Zhongshun explained: "The paddy fields along the Qinghe River have achieved great joy today. The great scholar Shu Bole made four suggestions. Encourage the people to cultivate their own fields. According to the number of acres, they will be given official positions above the ninth rank and below the fifth rank; at the same time, they will go to the water conservancy camp The people who work in the field will be recorded as officials with different positions depending on the amount of work they have completed in contract. Officials who are demoted or dismissed can be dismissed and rehabilitated; criminals who have been exiled can be reduced. According to your merits, you should have a five-rank official position .”

Brother Rong laughed embarrassedly, and asked, "How much is the water conservancy camp envoy?"

Zhongshun Wangdao: "From the fourth rank, you can use the paddy field envoy to ask the local magistrate and the yamen of each bureau to cooperate closely."

Jia Rong laughed when she heard this, and saw Master Thirteen's eyes.Quickly explained, "The boy is not laughing because of his grade, but because he is afraid that the grade will be low, and the government offices will not cooperate."

Thirteenth Master hummed, but didn't care, and allowed Jia Rong to send out tomorrow's fake.

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Rong and Xiao Que'er took a fast boat to the south, and they arrived at Lin Ruhai's residence in the middle of the night.

After arriving at the mansion, Brother Rong sent Xiao Que'er to the backyard, and went into the study to have a secret chat with Lin Ruhai.

That night, Jia Rong finally understood another reason why Jia Jing refused to let him return to Beijing.

Lin Ruhai was indeed transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, an outspoken institution that supervises princes and ministers.It's just more complicated than what Jia Rong, Xue Baochai and others thought. Although the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate involved falsehoods and was not guilty, but if he was deceived by the knowledge, he would be judged as wronging the country.

In other words, between the Lin family and the Jia family, we should avoid suspicion in the future!Don't cause other officials to think about coming to Jia's house just because there are too many people in Lin Ruhai Cucumber.

On the one hand, Emperor Xiande sealed Yuanchun, and on the other hand, he named Lin Ruhai as the inspector censor. From the eyes of outsiders, it can be said that the scenery is infinitely good.

In fact, the scenery is indeed infinitely good.

Apart from the need to avoid suspicion a little, there is no harm in other aspects.After being baptized by the former Ming Dynasty, although Dayan's inspector, Yushi, is ineffective to some extent, they have a right that outsiders can't match.

That is false accusation!
In the absence of actual evidence, just relying on hearsay, gossip, street news, and lace gossip, it is possible to report to the court and correct civil and military officials.If it is finally verified, the speaker will be rewarded; if there is no such thing, the speaker will not be punished.

"It seems that we have to keep a low profile in our actions in the future."

Just as Jia Rong was feeling emotional, she suddenly seemed to hit something.When she looked up, she could only see Daiyu gently rubbing her chest, looking at him resentfully with frowning eyes.

"It turns out that Aunt Lin is here."

Lin Daiyu said: "I called you a few times and you didn't agree, but you came directly to me as if you didn't exist."

Brother Rong showed an apologetic face, and said with a dry smile: "I was lost in thought for a while, and I didn't check the surroundings. Auntie hurts, do you want me to rub it for you?"

The moon is so round, the night is so cool, and the dark garden is extraordinarily quiet.Lin Daiyu's little face turned red, as if she was drunk, and she took a look at Brother Rong and left in anger.

Leaving little Que'er staring at Uncle Rong suspiciously, the servant girl rolled her fox-like eyes around, puffed out her chest and said, "Uncle also bumped into Que'er just now, can you rub it for Que'er?"

Jia Rong glared, raised her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I will give you a gentle rub."

"Oops!" Xiao Que'er hadn't reacted yet, only heard two crisp sounds.Guazi's little face also had a blush, begging for mercy, "Don't hit me, sir."

Xiao Daiyu, who heard the sound not far away, turned her head and saw it, her face was even more annoyed, she snorted and left without turning her head.

Zijuan persuaded: "They are men who are usually careless, how can they get any idea. Uncle Xiaorong didn't hit the girl on purpose, and the frivolous words were not unintentional."

Lin Daiyu sat on the head of the bed with a sad face, and said angrily: "We are not the worms in his stomach, who knows his heart."

Zijuan said again: "The girl will go back to Beijing tomorrow, and I don't know when I will see Uncle Xiaorong next time. I didn't want to have a good conversation tonight, so why did you come back again?"

"He's the one who made trouble. In the past, I used to quarrel with Sister Bao, and now a little girl has come to quarrel with him. How can I remember others." Lin Daiyu snorted Xiaoqiong, "What you said in the past will be remembered in the bottom of your heart. It's all deceitful. There is a sister Bao in the front, a little maid in the back, and a grandma in the house. His heart is bigger than that of a buffalo, can he hold so many people?"

Zijuan said: "Good girl, I'm still sad about such a thing. How about I go and scold Uncle Rong for the girl? By the way, drive that annoying little hoof out of the Lin mansion."

Lin Daiyu knew that Zijuan was joking when she heard this nonsense, but she couldn't help but said angrily: "There is no reason for the master to drive away guests. Que'er belongs to Brother Rong, so if you kick her out, you also kicked out Brother Rong."

Zijuan jokingly said: "It's good to drive out a bad guy like him."
