Chapter 25: Spring Night is worth a thousand dollars
The next morning, Brother Rong took Keqing to ask for You's blessing.
"What's wrong with that silly maid?" Jia Rong asked curiously on the way, "She looked at her with a strange look as soon as she came out of the room this morning, as if I owed her money and didn't pay her back!"
Keqing covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, "It's not that I owe her any money."
"What's the matter? How could I owe money to a maid?" Brother Rong said as Keqing was joking, "I didn't even know her name a few days ago."
Ruizhu also had a smile on her face and took the opportunity to joke: "They say a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Last night Que'er waited for our master in the room all night. It's not that I owed her money, it was still a lot of money.
.”
Baozhu grinned and said: "I haven't seen you and grandma. When I woke up this morning, I looked like a bird. The rouge on my face was smeared like a Bodhisattva in the temple. I thought I would have a good time when I woke up.
Look, sister Ruizhu kindly helped her wash it."
Jia Rong smiled softly and said nothing more. That silly maid seemed to be such a person.
After turning around the Yimen, you arrived at Youshi's Courtyard. Entering the main room, you greeted Youshi'an.
Youshi has been much more comfortable these two days. If Sister Feng hadn't come here to set off firecrackers yesterday, she would have been even happier. She invited Brother Rong and his wife to sit down, ordered Yindie, and Wan'er brought many rare treasures.
After the fruit was served, the couple was left to have a pre-noon meal in the courtyard.
"I don't insist on quarreling with Feng Lazi." Youshi put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "She is a girl from the Wang family, and her words are rougher than mine from the country. She is leaving with your wife again
She's so close, I'm afraid she'll lead my precious daughter-in-law astray."
"Madam, please calm down. Next time Sister Feng comes to quarrel with you, Rong'er will scold you back." Jia Rong said with a smile.
"You wish you could go and beat her legs and shoulders every day, but you are willing to scold her?" Youshi snorted. She had never heard of the rumors about Ronger and Sister Feng.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have scolded Sister Feng, saying that she was more like the mistress of Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Rong saw that Qin Keqing's face looked normal, and she quickly peeled off a grape and gave it to Youshi, hoping to gag her. "Madam, try this grape. It's much more delicious than the previous ones."
Youshi looked at Ronger's action of picking up the grapes for her, and she was slightly absent-minded. Considering that her daughter-in-law was still here, she calmed down. She remembered that when she first got married, Mr. Zhen was also so considerate, but it was a pity that he didn't pass it.
How long ago did the master have a new love?
She picked up the small spoon in her hand and put it into her mouth. It was indeed very sweet.
Looking at Rong'er's handsome appearance and her daughter-in-law's graceful and charming appearance, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Youshi said: "There are many people in the two mansions, and they are not strict with their mouths. No matter where you go or what you do, you have to consider the reputation of the two mansions."
"It's easy." Jia Rong didn't hear Youshi's voice-over at all, and said confidently: "Madam, you don't have to be too careful in the future. I told the clan yesterday. Anyone who spreads rumors in the future will be arrested and beaten.
Whether they are servants from the two houses or relatives from outside the house, they are all the same."
Youshi also nodded and sighed: "It's time to deal with it. These days, I have also rectified the atmosphere in the inner house. Rong'er also wants to talk to Manager Lai and ask him to be optimistic about the servants in the outer house. Just because the reputation of the house is not good.
, your sister-in-law never visits the house. It will be your grandfather’s birthday in a few days, so it’s time for her to go back."
Jia Rong nodded and said: "Rong'er save it, my little aunt will remember to invite you."
"Can you please touch her? No matter how old your sister-in-law is, she has more ideas than anyone else. Have you ever seen her in the many times you have been to Xifu? She doesn't even want to see me as my sister-in-law, let alone you.
Nephew’s.”
Forehead……
It's true to say that Jia Rong has been in Ningguo Mansion for so many days and has been to Rongguo Mansion many times, but he has never seen Xichun once. If he hadn't heard Sister Feng mention it once or twice, he would have thought that there was no Xichun in the world.
this person.
"If she is determined to raise her in the West Mansion, then forget it, if she still misses the slightest bit of family affection." Youshi shook her head, "Let your Aunt Feng take your daughter-in-law to invite her in a few days. She hasn't met her nephew-in-law yet.
The family always wants to see each other.”
That's fine. After all, Xichun is the biological daughter of Mr. Jia Jing. When the new niece-in-law went to invite her, she couldn't help but refuse. Jia Rong really didn't believe how stubborn a four or five-year-old girl could be.
I can only aggrieve Keqing and say a few pleasant words to coax her.
"The day after tomorrow is your Aunt Feng's birthday. The gifts in your courtyard have been prepared. Rong's daughter-in-law will come here to receive them and take them with her."
Why do we get together to celebrate birthdays in September?
Jia Rong said with a smile: "For worrying about it, madam, it has saved us money."
Youshi pointed at Jia Rong and said to Keqing: "Look at your uncle, even after hanging out with Feng Lazi for a long time, he has become a miser."
But Qing covered her mouth and smiled, blooming like a flower.
On the way back to the hospital, Ke Qing and Rui Zhuozhu said, "You must listen to what Madam says. From now on, you should be more careful with your mouth and think clearly about everything you say."
Jia Rong knew Qin Keqing's character and knew that she was worried about these trivial things.
"You are too nervous. People in our courtyard can spread rumors, and ordinary jokes are nothing. It's just that if you hear the lies in the two houses, just treat it as farts, and don't spread it." Brother Rong.
Er smiled and said: "Yesterday, Jia Qian, the sixth-bedroom boy, and Jia Qin, the fourth boy from the third-bedroom family, were almost expelled from the family tree because they spread lies about the gentlemen."
Rui Zhuozhu was shocked when she heard this. If she spread a few rumors, she would be expelled from the family tree. If her servants like them were caught, they would not be sold.
At that moment, he nodded repeatedly and vowed from the bottom of his heart not to make any random jokes in the future.
"uncle."
When Jia Rong heard someone calling her, she asked Rui Zhuozhu to escort Ke Qing back to the courtyard first, and then walked towards the main hall of Ningguo Mansion.
"Mr. Lai, did you sleep well yesterday?"
Lai Sheng grinned his old mouth and said with an embarrassed smile: "The uncle will laugh at me. Brother Qiang asked me to send a message, saying that the cement kiln has chosen an address. The craftsman said that it will be auspicious for two days, and asked the uncle if he wanted to go to watch the ceremony.
"
"Does it require a sacrifice to build a kiln?" Jia Rong asked speechlessly.
"This is the rule of the craftsmen. Regardless of whether they are building a kiln or building a house, once the location is determined, they will kill chickens and sacrifice the land to worship the gods."
"Let Brother Qiang and Zong Cheng take charge. I won't go there. Call me again when the kiln is opened."
Jia Rong is not interested in this kind of thing. It is probably just like building a house in the village in later generations. What can be gained by putting out sacrifices and burning some paper money? Seeing that Lai Sheng was about to leave, Jia Rong said again: "Not yet
Leave in a hurry."
Lai Sheng asked: "Master, do you have anything else to say?"
Jia Rong immediately told Lai Sheng the rules set by the clan yesterday. In the future, if anyone spreads rumors outside the Ning Mansion again, he, as the general manager of the Ning Guo Mansion, will be held accountable.
"this……"
Jia Rong also knew in her heart that the East and West mansions were the same. Whether it was the maid in the inner house or the young servant in the outer mansion, the relationship was complicated. Maybe this young servant was the son of a certain wet nurse, and who was the certain maid?
The wife's cronies should not be offended easily.
Even if the general manager of the two houses is asked to handle it, they will still be hesitant and timid. If one of them fails to handle it well, one of the wives in the two houses may be offended.
"You don't have to worry. When it comes to relationships, no one can compare with your Lai family. Even if you sue the ancestors of Xifu, as long as Aunt Lai is here and you are in the right, no wife can take anything against you.
.”
But Lai Sheng was smiling bitterly. If you can't take it, you can't take it, but you will always be remembered if you offend him. The Lai family are servants in the two houses after all. If they are offended by the ladies in the house, life will not be so easy in the future.
