Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 552 Couple’s Night Chapter

Rong Jin continued to eat in silence.

"What's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry? Are things going wrong in the office?" Hua Lei asked again.

"No, I just took advantage of the situation on purpose." Rong Jin picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth, saying, "This Qian is obviously stupid.

When they were on the road, they couldn't even get food for themselves and Rong Yu, and they had to look at the mood of their sister-in-law. It's not like the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion didn't provide them with food.

She just arrived today and wanted to live with us. It was simply because she was bewitched by her sister-in-law that she wanted to live in a house of her own.

She didn't even think about whose house this was and who paid for it. And this Qian actually dared to come to us and ask for it.

If I don't calm her down today, she will definitely come to you for another one in a few days when she knows that there are three houses behind us." Rong Jin said softly.

"Why, are you afraid that I can't handle it and will be caught by Qian?" Hua Lei said with a smile. "You really don't believe in my ability. In fact, before I left Beijing, my grandmother also took care of me.

I gave my second brother and his family a place to live, and let me take over all the other houses and shops. I have nothing to fear. Besides, I have already asked my father before.

The money for the house and shop that Uncle Dingsheng bought was all paid by my father personally. So if my father didn't give the house and shop he bought for us to my nephew and niece's brothers and sisters-in-law, I could say so.

My father also said that he had reminded my uncle in advance that if he had money, he could buy a few houses or shops. Maybe my uncle had already bought a house or something.

Moreover, my father also told me that night, and you heard it, that the house deed does not need to be given in the town, but if my second brother and his family want to live there, they will be given a house to live in.

The explanation is exactly the same as my grandmother's. So I gave them a house to live in, willingly, but I would only give them one.

As for the other things, whether I open a restaurant or collect rent, I feel at ease collecting it and I have no guilt in taking the title deed.

Besides, the two houses at the back have already been rented out. The contracts are for a year and the tenants have already moved in, so there are no vacant houses left," Hua Lei responded with a smile.

"It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but I'm afraid you're too shy to save face. Besides, you already have enough to deal with.

Not to mention the numerous government affairs, even the several shops at home have been handed over to you by your father. How can you have the time to waste time with this stupid woman? You will be upset then.

My anger today not only intimidated Rong Yu and the other two, but also Qian Er and the other two. Qian Er's wife no longer dares to instigate Qian to come to you.

I can't say it's a permanent solution, but at least for a short period of time, she won't dare to come to you to say something irresponsible. Otherwise, when she comes to you, I can't stand it, but I can't scold her directly. Wouldn't that suffocate me to death?

After all, as an elder brother, I can't just scold my brother's wife who asked my elder sister-in-law for help for no reason, don't you think?" Rong Jin also laughed.

Looking at Rong Jin's smiling face, Hua Lei also smiled. It feels really good to have someone who always stands in front of you, worries that you are upset, and tries to stop and solve your troubles in time.

"Thank you, husband, for being so thoughtful. Here, I'll reward you with a big chicken leg." Hua Lei put another chicken leg into Rong Jin's bowl, and Rong Jin took it with a smile.

"Then after dinner, should we go over and take a look?" Hua Lei asked again.

"No, now is the time for Rong Yu to stand up on his own. I can help him once, but I can't help him forever. When the situation is good, if he still can't take the initiative, then he will be useless.

You'll never stand up again in this life." Rong Jin helped Hua Lei scoop a bowl of chicken soup and also scooped a bowl for himself.

"But, after all, he is my second brother's brother-in-law, and his family background is not bad..." Hua Lei took the chicken soup from Rong Jin and said hesitantly.

"What's good about him? He's just the second son of the third branch of the Minister's Mansion, an uneducated guy." Rong Jin said disdainfully.

"The other party's grandfather is a minister..."

"It won't be like that soon." Seeing Hua Lei's confused face, Rong Jin explained again.

"Minister Qian will retire at the end of this year. He should have retired last year, but he wanted to pave the way for his sons and grandsons, so he refused to retire."

"Who is Minister Qian's eldest son?" Hua Lei didn't know much about Qian's family.

"Minister Qian's eldest son was a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, responsible for banquets and other matters. Qian's father was Minister Qian's third son, a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, in charge of monks and Taoist priests.

This Second Young Master Qian is the second legitimate son of the Third House, and is currently a seventh-rank clerk in the Warehouse Department under the Ministry of Works. Rong Yu's wife is a concubine's daughter of the Third House, and is the seventh child in the mansion. "Rong Jin explained softly to Hua Lei.

Mrs. Pei had briefly told Hua Lei before that Qian was a concubine's daughter and her aunt was a maidservant serving the mistress. After listening to Rong Jin's detailed explanation, Hua Lei finally understood Qian's background.

Compared with the second-rank Zhenbei Marquisate and Pei Jingyuan's third-rank Dingyuan General, it seems that the Qian family's background is indeed not that good?

If Minister Qian had become an official, he would have only an uncle of the fifth rank and a father of the sixth rank in his family, and neither of them was in a major department. In fact, Qian was marrying above her station.

Since Rong Jin couldn't make sense, Hua Lei stopped trying to persuade him. In her opinion, she already felt that Rong Jin had done a good job. Although he would discipline Rong Yu, it was also for his own good.

But Rong Jin couldn't justify it, it really wasn't justified. After dinner, he pulled Hua Lei into the study and leaned her against the small couch.

Thinking of Hualei who had been running outside all day and was very tired, Rong Jin called Qinghong and Qinglu and asked them to massage Hualei's legs.

I sat at my desk, lit the light, and started working overtime. There were many things to do in the county government, and all of them had to be recorded.

Moreover, it had to be presented to Emperor Shengwu, so Rong Jin did not dare to be negligent, so he had to take his brush and keep writing and revising every day, striving to make it fair and true.

Hualei asked Qingqi to pay more attention to the situation of the east house and report to him if there was any movement. However, Qingqi stood by the wall for a long time and didn't hear any movement. Hualei stopped paying attention to them.

Pearl, who lived in the middle house, heard Pei Rongyu's occasional loud voice, but there was no other sound, so she just went to sleep.

When the eldest brother was scolding the second brother just now, he didn't hold back his voice at all, so Zhenzhu heard it clearly.
