007, be the master of the house
The afterglow of the sunset reflects the red sky and the colorful glow.
The heat wave of the morning sun has not yet subsided, and the wind is still carrying the heat.
The courtyard was as silent as ever.
The sky was getting darker, and I couldn't see anything around me at a glance.
Zhiyi was tiptoeing into the courtyard gate, but when he saw that Rong Jinghao had not returned, he strode in with his head raised and his chest held high.
Her momentum changed, and she looked like a villain.
The two girls behind them glanced at each other, and they both spit on each other.
The three of them walked straight to the cellar and turned on the lamp at the door.
Zhiyi opened the cellar door, and a cool breeze hit his face.
The three of them moved quickly, picked up a bucket of ice cubes and walked outside.
Zhiyi stood in the middle of the cellar, thinking that there was no one in the courtyard anyway, and it didn't hurt to carry one more bucket, it would always be able to use it.
Thinking like this, she began to do it.
Suddenly, a shadow fell, and the male voice of the urn sounded.
"What is this doing, girl?"
The two little maids who had just come with them had already left with a bucket of ice.
At present, Zhiyi was the only one left in the cellar, and she couldn't stand a shudder, and looked at people with a smile on the corners of her stiff mouth.
"Hey! Who am I? ”
Zi Ning squinted her eyes, seeing through her mind at a glance.
This girl is as cunning as her master.
Accustomed to pretending to be familiar.
Zi Ning stood motionless in front of her, "What is this girl doing?" ”
He asked again.
The topic has not been pulled away, and Zhiyi is somewhat embarrassed.
Why did her master's tricks not work for her?
Thinking that Shang Sang had been so hot that he couldn't sleep for several nights, but the master and servant of Xihe Courtyard were living so comfortably, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Glaring at Zi Ning, he didn't have a good breath, "Can't you see?" I'm moving ice. ”
Zi Ning was stunned for a moment, she couldn't imagine that she was so arrogant.
"Stealing so openly?"
One sentence made Zhiyi angry, "How did you talk, how did you steal?" The things in this yard are all from the Rong family, how did I help the young lady get some ice cubes and become theft? If you insult me, you can't treat our young lady as a non-human being. ”
Zi Ning wiped the saliva on her face, a little puzzled, he just said the word 'steal', she was so excited, if she continued to talk, maybe he would be sprayed into a sinner for the ages.
"Alright, alright, you can carry it away." Zining waved his hand with a face: I admit it.
Knowing his opinion, he looked disgusted, and his heart became more and more unhappy, and when he wanted to say something, he interrupted.
"If you don't go, the ice will melt."
Zhiyi knew that he couldn't lose a big deal because of a small one, so he glared at Zi Ning viciously, "You're lucky." ”
The corners of Zining's lips twitched, and he almost thanked her.
Zhiyi didn't feel complacent for long, and just out of the cellar, he bumped into Rong Jinghao in the yard.
She bowed, her neck shrunk from the shock of his aura.
Rong Jinghao didn't pay attention to her, and his dark eyes looked directly at the ice bucket.
Zhiyi didn't plan to say much, and when she mentioned the ice bucket that weighed half a person of her, she was about to slip away.
"Wait."
Rong Jinghao's voice was as soft as the wind, slowly drifting into her ears.
She wanted to pretend that she couldn't hear it, but Rong Jinghao was a character she couldn't afford to provoke, so she had to stop in place and laugh like a spring flower in March.
"What does Young Master Jing command?"
Rong Jinghao beckoned and greeted Zi Ning, who had just come out of the cellar, "Send the ice bucket to Madame." ”
Zi Ning got the order, strode forward, and lifted the ice bucket like carrying cotton.
Zhiyi opened his eyes, envious of his brute strength.
A gust of wind blew around, bringing a refreshing and dry atmosphere.
Rong Jinghao walked out one step ahead of her.
I thought that Rong Jinghao had something to leave, but I didn't expect him to appear in Luoxia Courtyard after Zining.
Know-how is straightforward.
At this time, Shang Sang had already enjoyed the shade under the acacia tree in the courtyard, and when the pu fan fell, he saw Xi and the master and servant of the courtyard appear together, and immediately looked at Zhiyi in confusion.
Zhiyi pouted, not daring to look at her.
"Why bother Uncle to send it personally."
Shang Sang guessed that he would definitely be held accountable, so he simply blocked his next attack with a sentence.
"If the ice cubes in the house are not enough, my brother and sister can tell me earlier, and they don't have to send all of them to Xihe Courtyard." Rong Jinghao looked like he knew the righteousness, if Shang Sang hadn't guessed his intentions a long time ago, he would really have been deceived by him.
"I don't show tea to my uncle yet." She stood up and commanded unhurriedly.
Rong Jinghao did not refuse, and sat on the stone bench opposite her and looked at her expressionlessly.
"My younger brother and sister are Yaxing, but the Rong family is not as good as being in the imperial city, and there are many servants around them, and there are many things that need to be done by my younger brother and sister."
Shang Sang bowed, "Uncle is right, this time it was my negligence, and it was a coincidence, I have never been so embarrassed in the two years since I entered the house, and it has caused Uncle to suffer unjustified disasters." ”
There was something in her words, alluding to Rong Jinghao's own bad luck.
"But I didn't come by chance." His words sent the temperature plummet.
Shang Sang has seen a big scene, and he has long been immune.
Even when he felt oppressed, he still sat upright with a smile.
"I believe in my siblings' abilities, and this kind of coincidence will never happen again." Rong Jinghao's expression changed and returned to normal.
The identities of the two have changed because of his words, and she herself is more like a subordinate who has made mistakes, and she can only let the leader shake her face and say cold things.
"Uncle rest assured, I will be careful in the future, but the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, so please take care of Uncle at that time."
Rong Jinghao couldn't imagine that she would make mistakes so high-sounding, which could be regarded as an eye-opener.
He no longer chewed words with Shang Sang, and only said, "It's going to be hot for a while, I don't know what my younger brother and sister plan to do?" ”
Shang Sang was indignant in his heart, thinking about whether to write a written report to him and let him refer to it himself, but he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart after thinking about it.
"Uncle has a way?" Although she didn't plan to say anything about the assignment of Wu Shuo out of the mansion, she also knew that if Rong Jinghao had the intention to dwell on this matter, she could only know it in a few words.
"My brother and sister are the mothers of the house, and they should have responsibility and demeanor." Rong Jinghao had a sneer on his face, and almost said directly: It was true to say that you were useless last time.
Shang Sang grinded his back molars, eager to smack him in the face.
"Uncle is reasonable, now I am the person in charge of the Xunyang Rong family, how can I worry about such a trivial matter."
Rong Jing Hao did not get angry, but picked up an interesting look, and saw Shang Sang's hairs stand on end.
"Since it's a trivial matter, how can my brother and sister go to my yard to pick up ice cubes?"
Shang Sang choked and was speechless.
In his yard?
That wasn't sent by Wu Shuo's sycophant.
How did it become his personal own?
Seeing Shang Sang's complexion change back and forth, Rong Jinghao's smile became stronger and stronger.
When tears were brewing and he wanted to play green tea, Nan Feng came over with fragrant tea, and a wave of heat overflowed from the cup and floated around the two.
There is no reason for the meat to be sent back to the mouth.
can't even make a few buckets of ice cubes, she has been a fool for more than ten years.
Seeing that she was deflated, Rong Jinghao was in a very good mood, and took a sip of the teacup, which was light and sweet, and the taste was excellent.
"Jinzhou white tea, uncle is still happy?"
Shang Sang said with a little smile in his words, and looked at Rong Jinghao and raised his eyebrows, and the knot of Fang Cai was swept away.
Rong Jinghao chuckled in his heart, and said indifferently, "Since it is a gift from the emperor, it should be pityd, how can it be cooked easily." ”
It's good to know that it's a gift.
"As a human being, there will always be times when you make mistakes, what does uncle think?"
Rong Jinghao chuckled, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will also invite my younger brothers and sisters to drink a pot of Jinzhou white tea." ”
This was like a reminder to her that there will always be a day of revenge.
Shang Sang smiled dryly and clapped his little hands, "I'm looking forward to it." ”
This provocation did not provoke any reaction from Rong Jinghao, but only gave her a sad smile in return, and then lifted her robe and left.
"Uncle, walk slowly." Shang Sang smiled skillfully.
Rong Jinghao didn't look at her again, and left with a light breeze.
Nan Feng walked from under the corridor and said worriedly, "Madame provokes Young Master Jing so much, how will she deal with the Rong family in the future." ”
"He didn't intend to make me feel better when he came this time, so why should I be afraid." Shang Sang disagreed.
Nan Feng frowned slightly, and stopped talking.
How can a bucket of ice be like this?
However, Nan Feng quickly figured it out, although it was just a bucket of ice, it seemed to be just a trivial matter.
But Rong Jinghao wanted to challenge her authority as a housemother, how could Shang Sang give in.
Rong Jinghao is just a small test today, and he is not allowed to bury a trap for her in the future.
Since she is serving in front of Shang Sang, she also needs to pay more attention.
"But watching Wu Shuo go out of the city?"
Nan Feng nodded, "Madam, don't worry, the slave has sent someone to follow all the way." ”
Shang Sang bowed his head and did not answer again, and his brows were slightly twisted uncontrollably.
She can't be so passive anymore, Rong Jing is grinding, she is more grinding than Rong Jing, anyway, she is a big idler.
"Madame, but you have something on your mind?" Nan Feng rarely saw her like this.
When Shang Sang raised his head, there was already a smile in his crooked eyebrows. She touched her stomach, "I'm hungry." ”
Nan Feng knew that she didn't tell the truth, and didn't continue to ask, turning around to prepare a meal for her.
*
On the outskirts of Xunyang.
Wu Shuo strangled the hemp rope used to fix it on the carriage and instructed the entourage on both sides.
"It's going to be night, watch closely."
The two nodded solemnly.
"Uncle Wu really doesn't want to go to the Hui River?" Skinny Black Kim asked.
Wu Shuo smiled contemptuously, "It's just a little girl, can you easily scare Lao Tzu?" ”
"It's still Uncle Wu who has the courage, and a few of our brothers will have a chance to get ahead after Uncle Wu." Xiao Jin was busy patting his ass.
On the carriage were a few pieces of priceless beams that Wu Shuo had transported from the Rong family's warehouse, and he planned to transport them out to buy them at a good price while he was going out.
Xiao Jin also secretly admired Wu Shuo's courage and fatness, and he had been a housekeeper for a few years, stuffing his pockets full.
I was also very envious in my heart.
"Follow me and do it well, I have a mouthful of meat to eat, and you can drink a mouthful of soup."
When the two of them heard it, they immediately burst into joy.
"Uncle Wu, have you found a good buyer?" Xiao Jiang saw that he was non-stop all the way, and seemed to have an intention.
Wu Shuo patted him on the shoulder, "It's still you kid who is smart." ”
Xiao Jiang laughed.
"When you get to Caojiang, you'll know."
The matter has not yet been completed, and Wu Shuo is reluctant to reveal too much.
It was getting dark, and the three of them found a familiar post house to live in.
Wu Shuo was very cautious, although he booked a room, but in the middle of the night he was directly in the stable, and kept watch all night.
