Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 260 The Woman in Yixia Pavilion

Mrs. You entertained Li Wan, and Brother Rong felt uncomfortable not looking for him.Wandering alone in Huifang Garden, not even a girl with him.Just climbed to the Yixia Pavilion, and a woman with a report came downstairs.

"There are people from Prince Zhongshun's residence who want to see the uncle."

After hearing this, Jia Rong was puzzled and thought to herself: "The Thirteenth Master has already led the troops to Monan Mongolia, and the only acquaintance in the palace is the concubine. Keqing also went to the palace to greet her two days ago. How is it today?" Send someone again?"

He asked his mother-in-law, "Did the person who sent the messenger from the outside tell me who he was?"

The mother-in-law doesn't know either.

Uncle Rong had no choice but to order his mother-in-law to go back to the outer sect. He invited the guests of Prince Zhongshun's mansion to the front hall of the mansion. He went back to the courtyard to change his clothes.

When they met each other, Brother Rong hurriedly invited Gui to sit down and have tea.He said with a smile, "Why did Brother Zhou come here?"

Zhou Changshi got up to greet him, and hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to bother me, the next official is here on order, and I have something to ask the Lord Genji."

After hearing this, Jia Rong was confused for a moment.He has little contact with the chief minister of the palace, and he is not connected in official affairs. Why did he come here?Quickly asked: "Which order did the elder brother come here? Didn't the Thirteenth Lord leave Beijing a few days ago? Could it be that the mother called me?"

When Zhou Changshi saw Jia Rong calling "big brother" left and "big brother" right, his face became uncomfortable.Invited Brother Rong to sit down together, sighed and said: "Tell the truth to Brother Rong. Today, my brother was punished in the palace, and I was going to go to your West Mansion to question someone. Thinking about Brother Rong I came to you first because of the relationship with the palace."

"Oh?" Brother Rong asked in surprise, "Is there someone in the West Mansion to question? Who offended the people in the Wang Mansion. Even though Brother Zhou said, the Thirteenth Master and the Empress have treated us well, and we will not protect them privately."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Zhou Changshi hurriedly said with a wry smile, "It's considered a big deal, but today is a festival, and there was another accident in the palace, and several masters in the mansion were angry about it."

"What did you say?" Brother Rong had a bad feeling in his heart, and said, "Brother, let's talk about what happened first. If there is a misunderstanding, we can take someone to the palace to plead guilty."

"Brother Rong, that's out of the question." Zhou Changshi shook his head and said, "There is an official in the palace who is a young girl. He has always been in the mansion well, but now he hasn't gone back for three or five days. I can't follow his way. So I checked everywhere, and eight out of ten people in this city said: He has gotten along very well with the jade-bearing brother in Rongguo Mansion recently. This is not a trouble, but A few days ago, something bad happened in the palace, and today is the festive season, planning to have fun in the palace to pass the bad luck, how can I not find a beautiful official, and provoke public anger."

This matter is not big, and it is not small.Brother Rong thought for a while, then glanced sideways at Zhou Changshi.He laughed and said, "Brother got orders from your mother today, so he came here specially to beat someone up."

Zhou Changshi was taken aback, and said, "Brother Rong, how do you say that?"

Jia Rong laughed lightly and said: "Brother said that everyone in the palace was angry because the Qi official left the palace to hand over to others. It is true for the time being, but it is not worth letting the eldest brother, the chief historian of the palace, spread the word to get someone. Besides, the Qi official is both It is also impossible for outsiders to live in Jia's mansion. Eldest brother came here during the festival, so where can I find the actor in Jia's mansion, I am afraid it is mostly for the purpose of beating and accountability."

Zhou Changshi was pointed out by Jia Rong, and he no longer pretended.Embarrassed, he replied: "I showed off in front of Brother Rong. This is not the intention of the brothers. This official visit may be a trivial matter in the eyes of Brother Rong, but in the eyes of the people in the palace, it is the favor of the Jia family. The arrogant bullying went to the prince. Although the empress did not personally order the matter of the next official to come, it is generally the empress's intention."

Brother Rong was completely confused, and asked: "Is it so serious?"

Zhou Changshi said with a sneer, "It's not that the brothers don't give the Jia family face, but that the young master of Rongguo Mansion is too out of line. If it's just a casual acquaintance, the Wangfu will not pursue the relationship between Ningguo Mansion and Brother Rong." However, these two people actually changed their sweat towels in private, and even hung out with the King of Beijing and others. After all, this matter is detrimental to the face of the Prince's House. If you don't show it, our Palace and your Jia's It won't be easy."

"Thank you big brother for coming, I will give the palace an explanation for this matter." Brother Rong stood up and cupped his hands.Thinking back when the female officials and nuns from the Zhongshun Palace came over, he didn't dare to entertain them in a more presumptuous manner.Baoyu dared to exchange sweat towels with Qiguan. Isn't this a private love relationship for life?
Jia Rong just wanted to scold people at the moment.This treasure jade is really courageous, and all the thieves went to Zhongshun Wangfu.Not only did he steal it, but he also stole it together with Beijing Jing Wang Shuirong, and even Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and others participated.

This damn, really trampled the face of Zhongshun Palace to death.

Seeing Brother Rong gnashing his teeth, Zhou Changshi calmed down and said: "Brother Rong, let's see what happens. It's not appropriate to make a big fuss. Everyone knows that it will ruin the relationship between Brother Rong and the palace. relation."

Brother Rong nodded.Thinking about it, Qiguan is a loyal and obedient person to the palace.Baoyu doing such a thing is basically tantamount to secretly sleeping with a maid or female official in Zhongshun Palace.

It is equivalent to cuckolding King Zhongshun, and of course it may be cuckolding one of King Zhongshun's sons.Anyway, Nima is looking for death.

He asked curiously: "Is Qiguan a man or a girl?"

Zhou Changshi glanced at the bastard, and replied hesitantly: "The common name of Xiaodan is Jiang Yuhan, and she is a boy."

oh.Baoyu is an idiot who actually steals a man who is loyal to the king... no, a male favorite.Male pets are even rarer in this society than maids, no wonder the chief historian came to the door in person.only……

Brother Rong still has doubts.King Zhongshun is not in the mansion recently, and Jiang Yuhan is a male role. It stands to reason that even if the concubines are rehearsing plays in the palace today, Jiang Yuhan will not have a role.

Male actors are not perfect, and men and women have different stages. All plays for women are sung by girls.According to the situation of Ningrong and Rongfu, the only ones who can enter Tianxiang Tower and Grand View Garden to sing are girls.If you really want to listen to male dancers singing, you will only invite a few actors to come over temporarily, and arrange them in Ningxi Pavilion next to Huifang Garden. Outsiders other than relatives must not be allowed to enter the inner garden.

This is the basic rule of defense for men and women.

Therefore, Zhou Changshi said that the rehearsal in the palace is lively, and the hosts will not be the princess of the palace and others.Brother Rong squinted his eyes and asked, "What evil happened in the palace recently?"

Zhou Zhangshi faltered and refused to say, and made excuses to leave with a smirk.

Brother Rong said: "Is the elder brother not even willing to speak in front of the brothers? We want to know, but we have to go to the palace again."

"His Royal Highness is seriously ill, the imperial doctor has already diagnosed, I'm afraid..." Zhou Changshi shook his head with a sigh, cupped his hands and said: "Brother can still send someone to get that actor, so let's say goodbye."

This society is like this, even in the mighty and powerful Zhongshun Palace, even the extremely noble people would just disappear if they said nothing.

King Zhongshun had nine sons and four daughters.Today, only five sons and two daughters are alive.

The rest died young.

Now even His Royal Highness, who has just grown up, is seriously ill again. I am afraid that King Zhongshun will only have four sons and two daughters left under his knees, and more than half of them will die young.

If this is the case in a country's Prince's Mansion, the situation in other families is even more difficult to imagine.

Jia Rong thought of her two children again, and became worried about them for a while.In a society with such a huge proportion of premature deaths, he had to worry.After thinking wildly for a while, I felt that the rule of not being too close to children in the mansion made some sense.

For the sake of family education and discipline is also good, but on the other hand, is it not a choice made helplessly because of worrying about the child's early death?In the absence of modern medicine, any infection could kill a child, let alone a child with a weaker immune system.

Stop thinking about it, and calculate Baoyu's affairs again.

Jiang Yuhan, Jiang Yuhan, what a good name.

One Hanyu and the other Xianyu, these two are really a couple.

It's a pity that Uncle Rong is planning how to break up this natural couple, at least to break some of their relationship for a while.

Not long after, a maid came from the Grand View Garden and told Uncle Rong that Second Master Bao hadn't returned to Yihong Courtyard.Jia Rong thought it was not a good time to go to Mrs. Wang's courtyard to find him, even if she was talking about something, she was not in a hurry.

He wandered back to the inner house, and then went to You's courtyard.It's not to join in the fun, but thinking about the death of many sons in the Zhongshun Palace, recalling that the Jia family also died early, I still can't help but go to see my eldest brother.

Uncle Xiaorong had just entered the courtyard, and a servant girl went to the main room to report to Youshi.After hearing that Uncle Rong went to the wing room again, the few people who were eating and drinking had no choice but to smile wryly, but they didn't bother.

They all warmly entertained Li Wan.

Grandma Zhu stopped the cup in her hand, her face was already on the top, she blushed and said with a smile: "Where is the excitement of inviting me to the festival, it is clear that you are bullying me together."

Wang Xifeng didn't blush, and her heart didn't beat wildly, she didn't look like she was drunk at all.She lifted the cup and said with a smile: "How many cups have you drank, I drank more than you, if you say bullying, you bullied me together."

Seeing that Sister Feng wanted to respect him, Li Wan hurriedly hid the cup and said angrily, "You said it wasn't bullying, but your family ganged up to get me drunk."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the room was shocked.Regardless of grandma, aunt, and maid, their hearts were beating wildly, and Suyun behind Li Wan was even more frightened, looking at Wang Xifeng worriedly.

The servant girl was afraid that Sister Feng would suddenly stretch out her claws and scratch her grandma's face.But Li Wan was so dizzy from drinking that he didn't even know what he said wrong.

Wang Xifeng turned her eyes slightly, as if she hadn't heard a mistake, and said with a deep smile: "The toasts are all to please, and I toast to you, also to please you. How can it be called bullying."

"It's rare to use such rhetoric to coax me." Li Wan waved his hand.

Wang Xifeng said strangely: "If you don't like the word flattery, let's change the word to reward sister-in-law for her hard work. After drinking this cup, sister-in-law is still waiting to respect me. I have worked hard in your family for several years, and there is no credit but hard work." , Is it necessary to have a drink?"

Li Wan couldn't get off the horse, so he could only ask the pourer to have a drink, and then give him another toast.

You Shi and Ke Qing didn't chase after the toast, but asked to eat more to suppress the alcohol, and they got acquainted and chatted.Let Li Wan come to Dongfu more in the future.

Wang Xifeng just felt bored, and planned to drink Youshi's wine.

Youshi said with concern: "It's only a short time since you gave birth, so drink less. You've got us all drunk, how can you get anything for yourself?"

Sister Feng just gave up.

The girls chatted for a while, and Li Wan felt sleepy.Youshi asked her to rest in a room in the courtyard, but Li Wan was unwilling.

Wang Xifeng knew Li Wan's temperament, how could he be willing to sleep in the bed that others had slept in.He said lightly: "It will take some time to tidy up a room in several courtyards here, it's better to let her rest in Huifang Garden."

Li Wan shook his head and refused: "No need to bother, Yun'er will help me back to the garden to rest for an afternoon."

Grandma Zhu was already drunk, and she wanted to force herself to leave first. Seeing this, several people had no choice but to break up the banquet.

Wang Xifeng faced Youshi and Keqing, and said calmly: "She is not a talkative, so there is no need to win over her. In the two mansions, she is not the only one who suspects. Sooner or later, the paper will not be able to contain the fire, even the wives Knowing everything, I can only hide the matter in my heart, there is nothing to worry about."

After hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Mrs. You was speechless for a moment.She knew that Feng Lazi was bold, but she didn't expect him to be so bold. Feng Lazi was going to have a showdown with her directly.

You Shi said bitterly: "You have done good things, but we are the ones who suffer."

But Qing should complain the most, but this will be caught in the middle of the two, and they can only persuade each other for a while.Xiefeng Spicy Shou'er said, "It's good to have one less person, and it's not a good thing to spread the word."

"Who dares to spread the word? Let's break up today. Don't call me to invite her to drink in the future. I will not deal with her." Wang Xifeng snorted and left proudly without being drunk.

Qin Keqing looked at his wife's complexion in embarrassment, and at Sister Feng's back.He softly bid farewell to his wife, You Shi, and called up Xiao Que'er and a few other maids to follow her drunken Grandma Zhu.

You Shi sat quietly on the seat for a while, and after letting the servant girl withdraw from the banquet, she went back to the inner room to take a nap.

On the way, Ping'er persuaded Sister Feng: "Although Grandma is not afraid of rumors, Grandma Zhen is helpless in what she does. On the contrary, talking like that in her yard is a disgrace to Grandma Zhen."

"She knows that I annoy Li Shi the most, but she still calls Li Shi here. It was she who provoked me first." Wang Xifeng sneered and mocked. "The eldest grandma in the Dongfu is the best at doing decent things. I don't know what she did to show off. In my opinion, she coaxed the Qin family to leave her eldest brother in her yard because she had a ghost in her heart."

"Grandma." Ping'er exclaimed and tugged at Sister Feng's sleeve, how could such words be nonsense.

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly and stopped talking, went back to the room and went to rest.

Over there, Mrs. Qin caught up with Li Wan, and seeing that she was very drunk, she decided to call her mother-in-law, Beizhu, and grandma to go to Yixia Pavilion in Huifang Garden to rest for a while.

This afternoon, Jia Rong was teasing the children in the wing room of You's courtyard, and no one disturbed him except for the guarding nanny and a few little maids watching over him.

It was so comfortable that I forgot the time.When it arrives, Youshi wakes up from a lunch break.

Uncle Rong pouted and counted from Huifang Garden to Daguan Garden to Yihong Courtyard to talk to Baoyu. He was only halfway through the garden when he suddenly saw a woman walking around on the second floor of Yixia Pavilion.

Is it Baochai?
Or Sister Feng?
It shouldn't be, if it was one of the two of them, how could they find someone to send a letter.

Could it be that there was a thief?
Uncle Rong's heart tightened.That can't be done, Yixia Pavilion is special to him and has special feelings.He presided over the construction of this building, which has a different meaning.Later, it became a happy place for him, Sister Feng, Ping'er, and Baochai, and the treatment was even more different.

Every object and object in it has a special meaning and purpose for him.

Busy, hurry over.
