Chapter 95: Who Is Big Sister Like?
Brother Rong came out of Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, and when the carriage arrived at Ningrong Street, it was getting dark, and both Ningrong and Ningrong Mansion had already turned on the lights. As he was passing by the gate of Ning Mansion, he heard someone shouting outside, "But Brother Rong is back? "
Lifting the curtain and taking a look, it turned out to be Shuirong, Prince of Beijing County.
Why did this guy come to Dongfu instead of Rongguo Mansion? Brother Rong was very confused. He was now the head of Dongfu, and the other male protagonist was Jia Jing, the great master who cultivated immortality. But since King Beijing had already greeted him, Brother Rong also got off the car happily.
"Why is the prince here?"
"It's not convenient to come here on weekdays. Today I'm taking advantage of the festival to pay a visit to the old man. It's a pity that the old man is obsessed with cultivating immortals and cannot allow me to show up."
Jia Rong looked at the regret on King Beijing's face and comforted him: "Since I became an immortal, I have become more and more refined. Sometimes I may not even come to greet you in the morning. Maybe the immortal should have his own rules and fate. It may be that the Grand Master is practicing in seclusion today and has not yet come out of seclusion."
Shui Rong was young and light, but he had a lot of thoughts. He forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid that's the case. Shi Weng is in good health now?"
Brother Rong said with a smile: "I heard from the boy who was waiting in the courtyard that when I have a good appetite, I can eat two bowls of rice in one meal. I returned home from Xuanzhen Temple outside the city and my health should be getting better day by day." .”
"Your Majesty is in good health, and I, my nephew, can feel at ease." King Beijing sighed softly, and then asked, "Brother Rong went to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion today?"
Jia Rong's expression changed slightly, she glanced at Lai Sheng and others, and said, "I happened to go there for some business."
Lai Sheng and others all showed innocent expressions. They only heard King Beijing say: "There are many spies outside Prince Zhongshun's palace. It's better to go less often in the future, so as not to be hated by others."
Would a visit to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion still be resented? Jia Rong's face was filled with doubts and she couldn't figure out the reason.
Shui Rong explained: "The iron-blooded loyal king is the living king of hell in the world. No matter who is against him or who is close to him, there will be a bad end. This Thirteenth Master is rigorous in running the army, and he is even more harsh in governing officials. He is everywhere in the world. , I don’t know how many people I offended.
If it weren't for the fact that King Zhongshun has won the trust of the emperor and holds great power in his hands. There are many people who want to join him, Brother Rong will not go wrong if he stays away from him, so as not to be blamed by other officials."
Looking at the expression on the face of King Beijing, Brother Rong could guess that the King of Beijing County was also dissatisfied with King Zhongshun. Last time, I heard Feng Ziying and others mentioned that when the household department of King Zhongshun, the Prime Minister, was in deficit two years ago, he had Forcing the Prince of Beijing County to sell property outside the palace to make up for the shortfall.
King Zhongshun really showed no mercy to the Prince of Beijing. How could Shui Rong, the King of Beijing, have no objections in his heart?
Brother Rong smiled and replied, "Thank you so much, the prince, for your advice."
"It's not really an advice, it's just a reminder to Brother Rong. Even though everything is calm in the court now, there are undercurrents surging inside. In the past few days, I heard that the Wang family and King Zhongshun have taken care of you. If it weren't for those ten Third Master, how can you become a fourth-grade city gate captain in the Nine Gates Patrol Yamen now? Otherwise, you have to guard the inner city of Shenjing for several years and protect the whole city. Maybe you can be promoted in the future. It is not impossible for him to become a lieutenant or even an admiral of the nine sects."
"The prince is joking."
Jia Rong had an embarrassed smile on her face. Even though King Beijing is not older than Jia Rong, he can brag better than anyone else. What kind of officer is he or she captain? He is a serious third-rank official. Admiral of the Nine Gates Not to mention, he has always been the most trusted person of the emperor. As the Jia family once supported Prince Yi Zhong, how could it be possible for the Jia family to win the emperor's trust?
King Beijing seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He was stunned for a moment, glanced left and right as if nothing had happened, and laughed loudly: "Don't be discouraged. Since you have the Thirteenth Master, the wise king of the dynasty, to protect your capital, you will definitely have a good future for the dynasty."
Opportunity to serve.”
Brother Rong just smiled and nodded his head, unable to think of how to answer.
Fortunately, after the Prince of Beijing County said this, he laughed twice and said, "Someday, I invite Baoyu and others from Shangxi Mansion to come to the Prince's Mansion to play." and left in a hurry.
Two days later, it snowed heavily in Shenjing.
People in Ning and Rong Mansion were busy, sweeping away the snow in the mansion courtyard and preparing for the big festival at the end of the year.
There is another happy event in Xifu today.
It turns out that the eldest sister was born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month and it has been more than 100 days now. Earlier, Mrs. Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing You specially invited Taoist Zhang from Qingxu Temple outside the city to shorten the days and record the eldest sister's hundred days.
It’s set for today.
Grandma Rong, Grandma Zhen and the others from the East Mansion changed into their coats and cloaks early in the afternoon before dinner and went to the West Mansion to help.
Today's occasion was attended by women and there were many relatives, but Uncle Rong did not attend.
When Grandma Rong Qin Keqing came back, it was already time to display the lanterns, and there was still snow falling in the night sky. Uncle Rong took Qin Keqing's cloak and asked, "Is the second aunt's yard still busy today?"
Qin Keqing said: "How can there be no excitement? The old lady gave the eldest sister a hundred-year-old lock, and the eldest lady gave a hundred-year-old clothes. I don't know how many auspicious gold and jade clothes I took. I have met your Jia family today.
His wealth is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people."
After all, this is the Duke's Mansion, and even if it falls behind this etiquette, there must be some brother or sister. Uncle Rong said: "Don't you envy Sister Feng?"
"Why do I envy her?" Qin Keqing suddenly sighed and said, "It's because the family relationship in our family is weak. I didn't believe it in the past. Only now have I seen it. It turns out that this is the first time that the old lady and the others have looked at the eldest sister.
Now, today, the eldest sister was taken out by her nanny. She just hurriedly glanced at everyone in the room and was taken away by the nanny again. "
"These are all rules. When a child is still young, how can he always come into contact with outsiders? He has always been with the wet nurse, and even his own mother rarely sees him." Uncle Rong has heard of such things before. Generally, children from big families have not seen him since he was a child.
When the child is with the nanny, the parents only bear the responsibility of discipline. When the child is mature, the nanny will take the lead to greet the mother every day.
Qin Keqing hummed: "There are so many rules in your family."
"This is not just the case in our family, it is the same everywhere. After you wait for your children to know, there are so many things to deal with every day in the house, how can there be energy to take care of them. On weekdays, you can look for the nanny to say a few words.
It’s rare to even take a second look at it.”
"I know what you said is right. I just feel that if a child is raised by someone else, he will never be close to his parents when he grows up." Qin Keqing said angrily, "I heard a few young aunts talk about me. They
I have only kissed my nanny since I was a child. When I have children later, I will not let them kiss only my nanny."
Uncle Rong sighed: "If I want to have a child, it seems that I will have to suffer again tonight."
Qin Keqing looked ashamed and spat: "I don't feel well today."
"Not feeling well? I don't remember it being the past few days."
Que'er next to her seemed to see through everything and whispered in Brother Rong's ear: "I don't know which aunt said it. My eldest sister's features look a bit like the uncle's. Grandma must be sulking."
