Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 479 Jia Rong has thoughts
Beijing,

Rongguo Mansion, Liyuan Hall,

The second grandmother, Wang Xifeng, was sitting in front, looking at Grandma Liu's reddish complexion, and thought of something, but she still needed to say this herself. The so-called asking for help had to be spoken.

Grandma Liu was obviously embarrassed and could not speak for a long time, but when she thought of her uncle and daughter at home, she had no choice but to say with shame:
"My aunt is still open-minded and reasonable. Today I met my aunt for the first time, but I shouldn't have said anything. I just came all the way to your hometown, so I couldn't help but say..."

Just when I said this, before I could say the right thing, I only heard movement outside the door. The boy at the second door ran over and said back outside the hall:
"Second Grandma, Uncle Xiao Rong from the East Mansion has come in."

Wang Xifeng waved her hand and quickly stopped Grandma Liu from saying anything.

Then he asked:
"Why is he here? Where is your uncle Rong?"

I was still wondering why Jia Rong was here at this hour. Didn't he say that the house was opening a altar to refine medicine these days, and no one was allowed in or out.

There was no knock on the door, only the sound of boots and feet, and a crowned young man came in. He was quite handsome, and he might have had an official status. He didn't feel frivolous like before, and he had a light Qiu Bao. The belt, the beautiful clothes and the crown, are the direct descendants of the Jia family.

Even Wang Xifeng couldn't help but take another look. He hadn't seen him for a while, and he had changed a lot. Why did he feel like he was going to leave the world? Could it be because of Ning Guofu's seeking for enlightenment? Taking the elixir really worked. What if? Otherwise, when you have finished practicing the elixir, you will come over and try one or two. Just thinking of the appearance of the eldest master Jia She, I am afraid that the elixir will protect you to death.

Grandma Liu was the only one who couldn't sit or stand at this time. She didn't recognize the person coming, so she had no place to hide, so she seemed to be dodging.

Wang Xifeng came back to her senses and said with a smile:
"Grandma Liu, just sit here. This is my nephew. There are no outsiders."

After hearing this, Grandma Liu stood up, bowed, gave a salute, and then sat down on the stool.

"Brother Rong, why are you here in such a hurry today?"

When Jia Rong saw someone in the room and Grandma Liu sitting below, she knew that the second mistress still had something to deal with, so she didn't delay and said with a smile:
"My aunt is well. My father sent me to beg my aunt. He said that the gold-rimmed screen with bright scenes that my uncle's wife gave to my aunt last time was borrowed for a brief display because my father wanted to invite an important guest to the house tomorrow. Come on, I’ll send it over after I’m done.”

Sister Feng thought it was something, it was just a rare thing. Why do so many people like this? She replied:
"Unfortunately, you came late. You said you were one day late. It was already given to someone yesterday."

When Jia Rong heard about it, her face was startled. It was true or false. What a coincidence. Suddenly she saw that her aunt's body seemed to be plump again. She didn't know what Uncle Lian was doing at night. Although Jia Zhen was obsessed with practicing Taoism these days, , but he did not forget to find a bride for Jia Rong. He dragged away old friends and screened all the ladies everywhere, but the reputation of Ningguo Mansion was not known to be good or bad. None of the nobles and nobles agreed, and the civil servants and courtiers also expressed their opinions. Shake his head.

Of course, there are many people who cling to power. After all, Ning Guogong's eldest grandson also attracts many officials from the capital. Those who have daughters also come to propose marriage, and some bring portraits. But Jia Rong still didn't feel that Jia Zhen saw her. I always feel dissatisfied, not to mention others, not even Mrs. You in the house can compare with her. Jia Rong has seen too many portraits of women. Although she is not as good as Jia Zhen, she also knows that the woman she marries is at least not as beautiful as she is beautiful. To be as good as Wang Xifeng from Rongguo Mansion and Mrs. You from Ningguo Mansion is to be considered proud of one's life.

Although thinking like this, Qin Keqing's figure still flashed in his mind. Unfortunately, his identity is different now, so don't even think about it.

Not knowing whether he was daring or hysterical, Jia Rong stepped forward and sat down next to the table.

"Auntie, don't say that. If I don't lend it to you, my father may say that I can't speak anymore, and I'm afraid I'll get another beating when I go back. Auntie just thinks of it as a pity nephew! Think of another way."

Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Rong, her expression was unsmiling, as if she was mocking,
"You said it nicely. Every time you took it, I didn't see you return it. Are the Wang family's things all good? Generally speaking, there are probably a lot of good things in your house. They are all hidden, but they can't be seen. !”

When Jia Rong saw Wang Xifeng smile, the plumpness on her chest trembled, and she immediately attracted attention. It was better for her to marry like this. It made Jia Rong make up her mind about what kind of woman to marry.
"Auntie, no matter how good you are, it's not as good as this! I'm just asking for mercy."

I don’t know what kind of favor it was. Naturally, Wang Xifeng saw Jia Rong’s eyes and was secretly annoyed. The Jia family is indeed a virtuous family. There are so many women raised in the house and playing around, and they are not satisfied. It seems to be a warning. ,

"If you touch it a little, you should be careful with your skin! Ping'er, let someone get the key and send it to Brother Rong."

"Yes, grandma."

Yin Mingping'er received the message, took the key to the building door, and sent several appropriate people to carry it around.

Unexpectedly, Jia Rong came back to her senses, saw Wang Xifeng's unkind eyes, and smiled bitterly,
"Auntie, no need, nephew, don't bother Miss Ping'er. I'll take it to you personally, don't let them touch it."

With that said, he got up and went out, as if running away.

Grandma Liu was very clear about what was going on here. The aunt and nephew actually had such things, and even talked about what was going on in front of others. As expected, a wealthy family in the government couldn't talk about it.

Wang Xifeng didn't know what to think. Seeing Jia Rong leaving, did she take this opportunity to ask about the elixir and shouted,

"Rong'er, wait a minute, come back first!"

The boy waiting outside said:
"Uncle Rong, come back quickly!"

Just after leaving the hall door, Jia Rong, who had not yet left the yard, hurriedly turned around and entered the house again. He stood with his hands down, listening to instructions and not knowing what to say.

Wang Xifeng had no problem and just drank tea slowly. After being distracted for a long time, Fang smiled and said:
"That's it! Just go ahead. I wanted to ask Brother Zhen about your Taoist practice. After dinner, I'll ask you to come over when you have time. There is someone here right now, and I don't have the energy anymore."

When Jia Rong saw that her aunt was really fine this time, she responded and then slowly retreated. Knowing what her aunt was thinking, she said before leaving,
"Auntie, the old god in the house said that it will take 49 to [-] days to produce the elixir this time. The altar has just been opened. If you want it, you still need to find out how many elixirs there are."

After saying that, he turned around and left. He didn't give Aunt Wang Xifeng a chance to speak. He left the house in the blink of an eye, reached the yard, greeted the boy beside him, and left in a hurry.

Several young men hurriedly followed, and after following them out of the yard, they asked,
"Uncle Rong, where are you going in a hurry? Things are going to be stolen."

Jia Rong just lowered his head and walked quickly. After walking far away, he said,
"If it's coming, it won't be that easy. I didn't see that all the men are gone. You are still there with the ink. If you call me back, you don't know how to smooth things over."

The boy is still puzzled. There is nothing to say about the relationship between Uncle Rong and Second Master Lian. Even the second mistress of Rongguo Mansion takes good care of him. How can there be anything to embarrass Uncle Rong?
"Uncle Rong, could it be that Second Mistress gave you something with some conditions? It shouldn't be possible."

Jia Rong didn't want to say it, but she always felt aggrieved. Every time Ningguo Mansion wanted something, I had to step forward and come to Ningguo Mansion to ask for it.

But every time I asked for something, I just passed it and my father Jia Zhen took it away, and basically never returned. As time went by, it became more and more difficult to borrow things. Although it was not embarrassing, it was It is inevitable that I feel a little slapped in the face.

The screen I came here to borrow today was a rare gift from the Wang family to the second wife, who then gave it to the second mistress. This matter had spread throughout the two houses, and her father Jia Zhen had also been thinking about it for a long time. No need.

But since the immortal master invited by her father entered Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen sent many of her collections to Tianxiang Tower for the immortal master to play with.

As for what Jia Rong said, the screen was used to entertain important guests at the house. In fact, it was not his father Jia Zhen who wanted it to be used as a dining table for the immortal master, because he was afraid that the alchemy furnace would make medicine. Yu Wen clashed with the immortal master, and then sent Jia Rong to Rongguo Mansion to borrow it.

But I didn't expect that even though the second aunt had borrowed it, she actually called her back before leaving. It was obvious that the immortal master in the house was refining the elixirs, and it seemed that she was interested in those elixirs.But how could I dare to play tricks with the second aunt? If I couldn't agree, and the second aunt used words to get around her and promised the second aunt to give her a pill, then I would be in trouble.

If he really mastered the elixir, let alone the second aunt, he might not even be able to see it. His father would be watching day and night. Whenever he was free, he would go to Tianxiang Pavilion to understand the true meaning of Taoism with the immortal master. By the way, While offering fire elixirs, I can't even enter the door of Tianxiang Tower. Anyone who goes has to ask his father for permission first.

Anyone who breaks into Tianxiang Tower privately will be punished according to the clan rules. A few days ago, a few servants with no eyesight broke the rules and entered the building. They were scolded by their father and sent to Zhuangzi below. But it frightened many servants in the house, and they have become more behaved these days.

After thinking so much, I looked at the few servants still surrounding me and sighed.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense about what happened today. You two and I will go to the warehouse to get the things. Be careful when you take them. Don't touch them. This is for the Immortal Master."

When the few boys heard that it was for the Immortal Master, they immediately looked more respectful and responded,
"Yes, Uncle Rong, don't worry, I and the others will be careful."

"Well, that's good, keep up."

Jia Rong nodded, then took out the key and ran to the warehouse in the second mistress's backyard.

Inside the Liyuan Hall,
Wang Xifeng also didn't expect that before she could say a word, Jia Rong ran away without leaving a word. Ping'er behind her was also puzzled.

"Grandma, what's going on with Uncle Rong? He hasn't even said a few words yet, look at him, he's so scared and he's running so fast."

Wang Xifeng also laughed at herself, knowing what Jia Rong meant,
"Don't talk about him. It's difficult for him inside and outside. Let's put it this way. I lent this screen and I didn't think about getting it back. It's not like you don't know how many of the things borrowed by Ning Guo Mansion can be returned. Yes, he is in trouble, so he still has the nerve to talk to me."

After saying this, Wang Xifeng no longer wanted to think about it. It took such a long time to refine the elixir. If there were only three pills, depending on their temperament, they would have already fallen into their stomachs.

He glanced at Grandma Liu and asked with a smile,

"Grandma Liu, don't be surprised. There are many things going on in the house. Okay, there are no outsiders here. You can continue."

At this time, Grandma Liu saw that the person was gone and felt at ease, so she said again:
"My aunt is so majestic. I just met you today. I wanted to come here, so I brought your nephew here for no other reason than because his mother-in-law was at home and didn't even have anything to eat. Now the capital has also robbed food, rice The price of the shop has tripled, and the family has nothing to cook for. The more I think about it, the less stylish I am, so I have no choice but to take your nephew with me."

After saying this, his eyes turned red. Ban'er beside him was eating fruit by himself. Grandma Liu saw him and pushed him. Ban'er was reluctant to put down the fruit and knelt down on the spot.

"Please grandma have mercy."

When Wang Xifeng saw this, she already understood in her heart that even if she came to beg for alms, she couldn't speak, so she wouldn't be allowed to speak anymore.
"Okay, grandma, there's no need to say it, I understand."

Looking at the grandfather and grandson, they felt so pitiful and embarrassed that they were running all the way, and asked,

"Grandma Liu, how did you come this far?"

Grandma Liu suddenly stood up, kowtowed to the north respectfully, and replied,
"I dare not hide it. From the countryside, Ban'er's father pulled a cart into the city, and then went back. I took Ban'er along the street and asked for directions, and rushed here. Who knew there was a bridge in the south? , what's the name of the bridge? I met a noble man who rode a big horse and led his troops to the north. They all called him Lord Marquis, and then asked me about it. As soon as he opened his mouth, he invited a carriage, sent food, and I didn't thank you, so I left in a hurry, the carriage was just outside, and he said he was taking me back, so there was no need to ask."

Wang Xifeng's eyes straightened. She didn't know that it was Yunqiao. Next to it was the residence of the Hou Mansion Chamber of Commerce. She just went for a walk when she had nothing to do. She could find the way with her eyes closed. Why did Luo Yunhou meet him? Could it be because he was from the Wang family? I'm afraid that's the case. After all, even though my aunt said so, she treats the women of the Wang family differently. No matter what, she can't lose face.

So I asked Madam Zhou:

"Aunt Zhou, I wonder if Grandma Liu is ready. Do you have breakfast?"

When Grandma Liu saw her aunt asking such a question, her attitude changed drastically. Knowing that it was the noble person who helped her, she replied:

"Go back to grandma. I rushed here early in the morning. I'm afraid I won't be able to find the way. It's so far away. How can I have time to eat!"

Wang Xifeng listened, nodded, and said to Ping'er,

"Ping'er, let Grandma Liu sit down. The dishes on this table have not been touched. You go and get two bowls of hot rice for Grandma."

"Yes, grandma."

Ping'er ordered the little girl to go to the kitchen to bring two bowls of hot rice, and arranged for Grandma Liu to sit down and eat here first, and then wait until she was full. Grandma Liu had been hungry for a long time. She had never seen such rich dishes. Qiquanzi started to eat, and from time to time he would pick up Ban'er's dishes.

When Sister Wang Feng saw it, she winked at Madam Zhou and took Ping'er out.

"Sister Zhou, I have to wait for you for a long time, but I can't accompany you anymore."

After saying that, he left the house.

Madam Zhou also understood, and after staying with her for a while, she also left the house. Seeing the second mistress waiting in the east room, she entered the house, but Miss Ping'er was not there.

Wang Xifeng saw Mrs. Zhou's wife coming in and asked her:

"Just now you went to my wife's room and answered my wife's question. What did you say?"

Mrs. Zhou’s wife replied:

"Going back to the second grandma, Mrs. Cai said that their family was not the same family, but because they had the same surname, they were officials in the same place as the grand master, and they were connected by chance. In the early years, they had some contacts, and they were able to do it in private. It's a lot of convenience, but I haven't moved around much in the past few years. I came here earlier, but they were not available.

Since she is here again today, she wants to greet us and look at us. It is her kindness, so she cannot be too negligent. If she has anything to say, she can just ask the second mistress to decide. "

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng suddenly realized that if she was really a member of the Wang family, even though she didn't know them all, she could still be familiar with them. It couldn't be said to be clinging to her, but she just thought of that enemy. The Marquis was really capable of everything. ,

"Let me tell you, we are from the same family, and we have met each other before, but we don't even know Ying'er. In this way, we can only say that we are related, but"
