Chapter 283 Looking for a substitute, taking the opportunity to make trouble
Feng Debao felt the displeasure of his master. He was always smart and didn't understand what he did wrong? In fact, this was related to his never-experienced feelings. As a eunuch, he naturally lost his lover's ability, and naturally could not understand Zhao Yu's subtle emotions.
Seeing Feng Debao kneeling uneasy, Zhao Yu did not blame him. The old eunuch was unmatched. Besides, the two of them had many years of master-servant relationships. As the saying goes, there was hard work without credit.
"Your Highness, should Miss Rong San send additional staff to protect her?"
This was exactly what Zhao Yu thought. He nodded immediately and finally ordered, "Let them not show their strength and let Miss Rong notice it, otherwise I will never let you go."
You can't annoy Rong Jingqiu, otherwise he will be the one who suffers. The little tigress will take power and even he will avoid it.
Feng Debao quickly responded and said he knew.
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already transferred down His Highness's money for the An family, and the Ministry of Works also came to say hello, saying that the repair drawings have been made, so let Your Highness see if there is any need to be modified?"
Zhao Yu was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the Office of the Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works. "Please bring the drawings and I will take them to Miss Rong to review them before deciding."
This is the mansion that will be lived in for a long time in the future, so he naturally has to satisfy Rong Jingqiu first. After all, women's range of activities is limited, and most of them are limited to the inner house, so it is most important to satisfy her in this regard.
Feng Debao opened his mouth and finally tactfully swallowed the words of advice back into his stomach. According to his master's love for Rong Jingqiu now, he had to wisely avoid his sharpness, otherwise he would have exhausted his years of affection for his master and servant, and he would have really finished playing.
"Yes, I remember it." He responded respectfully, "By the way, Your Highness, there is a lack of a coordinated person in the new mansion, and this cannot be entirely supported by the people of the Interior Ministry. You must have someone to watch it. Otherwise, if you arrange Madam Dou in to take charge of the affairs, and then make arrangements after Madam Rong San enters the mansion in the future. What does Your Highness think?"
Madam Dou is Zhao Yu's wet nurse. After all, she grew up drinking her milk. Zhao Yu respects this wet nurse quite much. What's more, when Zhao Yu was young, Madam Dou was beaten and injured while protecting him. At this point, the disease fell into the hands. When it was windy and rainy, it would hurt so much that she could not do any work.
Zhao Yu remembered all this in his heart. Like Feng Debao, he believed in his loyalty to Madam Dou.
When Madam Dou's eldest son got married, he took the opportunity to send Madam Dou out of the palace, so he kept asking her to live outside the palace to manage some industries for him. In fact, these were all used to An Dou's heart, so she could not think too much, thinking that he thought she was useless when she was old, so she drove her out of the palace.
"Then let Madam Dou come back and manage the personnel, but don't let her be too tired. Give her two clever maids to serve."
After hearing the master's instructions, Feng Debao's heart came to fruition, "Yes, I remember it."
What he asked for next were trivial matters. Zhao Yu was impatient to deal with these trivial matters, so he handed them over to Feng Debao to handle them.
Compared to these things, Rong Jingqiu's safety is more worth worrying about. In fact, Rong Jingqiu's idea is really feasible. He pondered for a while and then said, "Go and find a woman with a look and figure that is somewhat similar to Miss Rong." He paused, "It's better to know how to do it."
Feng Debao suddenly opened his eyes wide, what does the master mean?
Could it be that I was so anxious that I couldn't wait for those two or three months?
This...this is the matter of finding a substitute...
Feng Debao licked his lips secretly. This was a good opportunity to dig a hole for Rong Jingqiu, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, your highness, I will do it as soon as possible."
Zhao Yu was thinking about how to plan to lead the snake out of the hole, so he didn't notice Feng Debao's secretly excited expression. After all, he was always the most at ease with his work. Feng Debao knew the right amount of responsibility.
However, no matter how sensible the person is, he can't keep his thoughts from being wrong, let alone having a bad intention.
Rong Jingqiu didn't know about the follow-up of the box. She had just returned to her small yard and changed into her home clothes when she saw Rong Hong sitting down in the warm room. Obviously, she had something to say to her.
She sat directly opposite Rong Hong, with the Chu River and Han Border between them, "Tell me."
Rong Hong didn't like Rong Jingqiu's side very much, which made him feel uncontrollable. At this time, he put down the teacup, "Do you really plan to not even look at it?"
Fortunately, Rong Ma's handbag has been given a lot of care, and the situation is not too bad. When his mother recovers from illness, it is easy to get the palm again. This is what he is most satisfied with Rong Ma's handbag.
It looks ugly, but fortunately it still has some ability.
Rong Jingqiu lowered her eyes slightly, and did not let Rong Hong see the emotions in her eyes. She said lightly, "I have said that if my mother is willing to see me, she will meet you. If she keeps silent, why should I get angry with her?" Seeing that Rong Hong was going to say something else, she raised her eyes and continued, "Even if you still have resentment towards me now, let alone mother? She only remembers that she is Rong Jingdong's mother."
If she was really killed by Rong Jingdong that time, would Rong Jinshi be as sad as she is now?
Probably not. How important is her daughter she has brought back halfway, as she is the one she raised with her own hands?
"The fourth sister is dead, are you still so unyielding?" Rong Hong was immediately angry, "Why is your heart so hard? You can't give in just one step even though you know that she can't hold back?"
Rong Jingqiu really doesn’t want to argue with Rong Hong, this is the most meaningless thing.
"Look, even you can't talk to me calmly now. Do you think your mother can accept me again now? No, when she sees me, she will only think of Rong Jingdong's appearance when she died. Even if I'm unfilial, I don't want to piss her to death."
Rong Jingdong really didn't want to see Rong Hong's face, so she said directly to the maid beside her, "Send the second young master out." After that, she got up and planned to return to the inner room.
Rong Hong's face turned blue with anger, and he said ruthlessly, "You are all fallacies. Rong Jingqiu, you are so unfilial, wait for God to accept you." After that, he immediately left.
These words obviously cursed made Meier and others on the side change their faces.
Rong Jingqiu disagreed. If God thought she had done something wrong, she would not have given her a chance to be reborn. After all, she had personally sent Rong Jingdong back to the west in her previous life, and at least she hadn't been dirty in this life.
"Twist the cup that the second young master had just drunk."
Mei'er responded quickly and not only threw away the matching cup, but also asked someone to come in and wash the floor where Rong Hong stepped on. As for the chairs she had sat on, she even threw them into the warehouse and changed into a new set of home furnishings.
Rong Jingqiu was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch in the inner room and was about to send a message to Xia Wei to ask her to come over to the mansion. She was going to hold a small banquet to help Xia Wei open up her connections, so she turned a blind eye to the actions outside and let the group of maids perform their freely.
When Empress Dowager Xia received the post from Rong Jingqiu to Xia Wei, the smile on her face became bigger and bigger. She nodded with satisfaction and then handed it to her niece waiting by herself. "Miss Rong is also a daughter of a Duke and Marquis. You only have the benefits and no harm when you date her. Since she invites you, you can dress up and play with it."
Xia Wei was still quite surprised. She didn't expect Rong Jingqiu to be so active. She... she thought she might have to spend some time thinking about her, after all, her friendship is still shallow.
"Auntie, would it be too abrupt if I promised to go there?"
Seeing that her niece seemed to be worried, she took Xia Wei's hand and sat next to her, patted her back and said, "Silly girl, this is the normal social interaction between noble girls in the capital. Since she has set up a banquet, she will definitely not think you are abrupt. If you don't go, you will be embarrassed."
At this moment, she felt sorry for her niece without her mother's guidance, so she had some concerns and became increasingly dissatisfied with her brother-in-law.
Since her aunt said that, Xia Wei had no worries. She immediately replied to Rong Jingqiu under the guidance of Empress Dowager Xia. Fortunately, her handwriting was quite visible, she thought.
It snowed very late this year. The first snow of this winter happened to be the day Rong Jingqiu held a banquet, which just met the theme of today's snow viewing.
She did not invite anyone she didn't know about this banquet, but instead invited Princess Qinglan, a few cousins of the Jin family who could play with, and of course, Rong Jingsi, the cousin who could get along with her. As for the two younger cousins Rong Jingping and Rong Jingan, she did not invite her.
After all, the number of people is not large, but the success is that these sisters are all good-natured people, so it is just right to introduce Xia Wei to her.
On that day, she came out to greet Xia Wei in person.
Xia Wei was riding in a very ordinary carriage. Obviously, Empress Dowager Xia didn't want her to show off too much, but in order to give her niece courage, she still sent her confidant palace maid to follow her, and at the same time she did not have the opportunity to bully her niece.
It was the first time Xia Wei had visited someone else's mansion after returning to Beijing, so her eyes couldn't hide the excitement. When she got off the carriage, she saw Rong Jingqiu coming up. She couldn't hide the smile on her face. She hurriedly reached out to hold Rong Jingqiu's hand, "Miss Rong."
"Miss Xia."
After Rong Jingqiu said hello, she personally led her to the backyard. She had to introduce the scenery of the mansion along the way. However, it snowed today and everything was white. The scenery was monotonous compared to the other three seasons, but Xia Wei still enjoyed it.
Rong Jingqiu suddenly felt a little sad. What kind of life did Xia Wei live at the Xia family?
The Xia family is also a family of Dukes and Marquis. The scenery in the mansion is not worse than that of Dingyuan Marquis’ Mansion, and may even be slightly better. After all, there is also a daughter who is the queen mother.
But Xia Wei cannot enjoy the treatment that a daughter of a prince should have.
The anger in her heart was getting stronger and stronger. The beast that hurt Xia Wei to bear all this was really damn!
