It's just that this carefree look shows off her slender figure, which is truly sexy.
At this moment, Jia Zheng walked in with a spring breeze on his face, like a blooming old tree.
When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng's rosy face and kind-hearted look, her mood couldn't help but darken. What day is today? How could the master go looking for that slut?
Jia Zheng was unaware of his presence. After greeting Lady Jia, he looked at Shui Rong again and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, regarding the affairs of the Central Military Commander's Office, I would like to recommend someone to you."
"The Central Military Governor's Office"? Grandmother Jia paused, as if she had guessed something, and asked, "Zheng'er, what does this have to do with the Central Military Governor's Office?"
Jia Zheng had nothing to hide, so he said frankly: "Mother, the prince wants his son to serve as an official in the Central Military Governor's Office."
Upon hearing this, Jia's mother suddenly realized that her guess was correct. Mrs. Wang was excited. The current situation was that the prince's son-in-law was going to promote his father-in-law. He was indeed a good son-in-law.
But what is the official position of the judge? He must be a high-ranking official. I have to find someone to ask him later.
Shui Rong looked at Jia Zheng, and had nothing to say about his big mouth. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Who does father-in-law want to recommend?"
Jia Zheng said sternly, "Your Highness, this man is my student, named Fu Shi. He is quite proficient in Daqian Law, so I would like to recommend him to be the prosecutor, so that he can help me."
"Fu Shi"? Shui Rong didn't have a deep impression of this person, but he remembered that Fu Shi seemed to have a beautiful and talented sister named Fu Qiufang. He didn't remember much else.
It was not a big deal for Jia Zheng to recommend his students to help. After all, the position of in charge of cases was only a ninth-rank official position. With Jia Zheng's ability, he could make the decision on his own. Now that Jia Zheng came to ask for instructions, it was already good. It was exactly what Shui Rong wanted.
Moreover, Jia Zheng is an upright person. Since he said that Fu Shi is well versed in Daqian Law, he must be not much different.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong said generously: "Since it was recommended by my father-in-law, then when my father-in-law takes office, I will take him to the Central Military Governor's Office to take up the post and prosecute the case!"
Upon hearing this, Jia Zheng respectfully said yes with a serious attitude.
Chapter 107: Pretty Ping'er
Shui Rong did not stay in the side room for long. He let Yuanchun chat with Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang in private, and then left under the pretext of visiting Tanchun.
Seeing this, Sister Feng stepped forward with a smile, saying that she was going to go upstairs and lead the way for the prince, so she simply followed him.
Grandmother Jia looked at Shui Rong's back as she left, and said with some emotion in her heart: "The prince has a humble character and is a caring person. The eldest girl is so lucky!"
Mrs. Wang agreed deeply with what she said. This son-in-law was of noble status, yet he was humble in his words and deeds. He was considerate and understanding of their mother-daughter relationship. He even stayed with her for a day. He was indeed a good son-in-law.
Thinking of this, the thoughtful mother-in-law began to consider her son-in-law. Although it was against the rules for the new son-in-law to stay at his parents' home during the "returning ceremony", the newlyweds could not sleep together. In other words, Yuanchun had to avoid it, so the maid who served her was very important. However, she had only seen the maid sent by the Lai family beside the prince, and no unfamiliar maids.
After a pause, Madam Wang asked, "Girl, it seems that the prince has no maids to serve him. In this case, we need to arrange some nice people to serve him."
Yuanchun nodded slightly when she heard this. Because she was "returning to her parents' home" and wanted to have a meal, Shui Rong did not bring Xiangling with him. Even Yingluo, who had been transferred to live with her, stayed in the palace. At this time, Shui Rong only had Qingwen by his side.
Yuanchun understood what Mrs. Wang meant. Qingwen was still young, so it was inevitable that she would not serve him well. Her husband loved her, so she naturally could not let him suffer. Logically, she should send a few of her maids to serve him.
Pursing her lips, Yuanchun said softly, "Mother, the prince has always liked my third sister. How about letting my third sister serve him at night? That will also make my third sister feel at ease."
As a wife, she cannot sleep with her husband, but it is okay for Tanchun, who came with the dowry. Moreover, the prince has not made any other arrangements for Tanchun since she entered the palace, which seems to be quite neglected by others. Now, letting Tanchun serve in the evening is just the right way to appease the third girl and let her help him wholeheartedly in the future.
Grandmother Jia didn't care who was assigned to serve. She heard something else in the words and asked, "Has the third girl never served the prince?"
As people who have been through this, Grandmother Jia and Mrs. Wang know very well that it is difficult for a girl to bear the first time. As a dowry, Tanchun should have shared the burden with Yuanchun on the wedding day. Unexpectedly, the third girl did not seem to fulfill her responsibility. Considering the young and energetic body of the prince, this is really inappropriate. Could it be that the prince is ill?
Yuanchun had no idea of what Grandmother Jia was thinking, and her pretty face blushed. On the wedding night, her husband served her without any disdain, allowing her to feel the joy of a girl. He also said that the day belonged only to him, and that even though he was not having sex, he did not need the service of his third sister. This compassion made her happy.
Thinking of this, Yuanchun's cheeks were slightly drunk, and her sparkling eyes were like stars. The wedding night was the most precious memory in her heart, and it was still fresh in her memory. However, since it was a matter between husband and wife, even her grandmother and mother could not say much, so she nodded her head lightly and said nothing more.
Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, and was quite dissatisfied with Yuanchun's arrangement. According to her idea, she originally wanted to let Yuanchun's maids Baoqin or Jin Chuan'er to serve her daily life, and there was no need to specifically let the third girl, the concubine's sister, serve her.
Just when Mrs. Wang wanted to say something, Grandmother Jia said in a deep voice: "The eldest girl is the mistress of the palace. You can decide for yourself how to arrange it."
When Mrs. Wang heard what Lady Jia said, she kept her words to herself and twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand.
Grandmother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang and said nothing much. As for the affairs of the palace, even a close relationship like that of the mother-in-law should not be interfered. As the mistress, the eldest maid had her reasons for making such arrangements.
On the corridor.
Sister Feng glanced at the tall young man in front of her, her eyes slightly turned, and she said with her red lips slightly opened: "My Lord, do you have any taboos about the furnishings in the house? I can arrange it here."
Hearing this, Shui Rong looked at Sister Feng, who was smiling, and said casually, "It's just a one-day stay, so there's no need to trouble you. Sister Feng, just do whatever you want."
Hearing the other side, a dignified prince, calling her sister-in-law, Feng Jieer was naturally overjoyed, her eyebrows raised, she knew that the prince in front of her was humble, so her temperament was relaxed a lot, and she smiled sweetly, "That won't do. The prince has condescended to live in the mansion. If I don't treat him well, wouldn't it be a waste of the prince's calling me sister-in-law? But I am not knowledgeable, I have never experienced big things, and I don't know the rules of the royal family. If I don't take good care of the prince, this lady will be a little uncomfortable, and I will be scared and can't even sleep. I took on this matter, but I didn't know that I was sweating. The prince should pity me as a sister-in-law and make amends."
Shui Rong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. This Feng Jieer was really good at talking. She first praised him and then played the victim. Even if there were some mistakes in her arrangements, he wouldn't care.
Moreover, Feng Jieer is too out of bounds. How can she use such a slightly coquettish tone to talk to her brother-in-law? She really is a good sister-in-law with a pretty face.
Since Sister Feng wanted to do some repairs, Shui Rong had no reason to refuse. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sister Feng, just prepare some new quilts. There's no need to put out all those dazzling things. I won't say much."
If you are staying overnight, you don't need to bother. Just have new bedding. After all, no one likes to sleep in a room that has been slept in by others, unless it is
However, Shui Rong also knew that this was a sign of the Jia family's importance attached to him, so all they had to do was prepare new bedding, and they wouldn't say anything else.
When Feng Jieer heard this, her eyes lit up slightly. The prince only needed to prepare new bedding, which meant meeting this requirement. She could arrange everything else. In this way, the task would be much easier to accomplish.
Thinking of this, Sister Feng raised her willow-leaf eyebrows and said in a delicate voice, "Okay, Ping'er, do you hear me? Just do as the prince tells you."
At this time, the pretty maid following behind Sister Feng smiled and replied, "Grandma, I know."
Hearing Ping'er's name, Shui Rong couldn't help but turn around and take a look. He saw that the maid who answered the call was wearing a lilac-colored pleated skirt with gold-threaded edges, a blue embroidered handkerchief on her waist, and a white handkerchief with red polka dots in her hand. Her beautiful eyes were flowing and her cheeks were clear and pretty, like the pure girl next door, touching people's hearts.
In fact, ever since Ping'er followed Fengjie, Shui Rong had guessed her identity when he saw her beautiful face, but he was not sure. Now he confirmed that the maid in front of him was the "Pretty Ping'er", who was not only pretty in appearance, but also had first-class character. She often did good things behind the back of Fengjie, her "evil" master.
The master, Feng Jieer, has a rosy face and a charming and enchanting figure, while the maid, Ping'er, has a pretty face, clean and clear but not transparently slender. Not only their appearance and temperament, but also their character are opposite. They are truly a pair of contrasting master and servant. Jia Lian is quite lucky.
When Ping'er saw Shui Rong looking at her, her pretty face turned pink and she quickly lowered her eyes, and her blue-bottomed embroidered shoes couldn't help but take a step back.
Feng Jieer, who was standing aside, looked around and couldn't help but spit in her heart. Even the well-behaved and polite prince in front of her would feel uneasy when he saw his lustful daughter. All men in the world are the same, they are greedy and greedy. What the ancestor said before was indeed very wise.
If it was any other maidservant, the prince would like her and would be able to sell her well if he gave her to him. But Ping'er was different. Her husband had always been thinking about her. If he hadn't pressured her, Jia Lian would have taken Ping'er away long ago. If he let her be given away, Jia Lian would definitely make a fuss.
And the most important thing is that Ping'er is her right-hand man. She really can't do without Ping'er. Moreover, Ping'er knows many of her secrets, which makes it even more difficult to share them with others.
Thinking of this, Sister Feng said calmly: "My Lord, the third girl is in the room in front, let's go there first."
Shui Rong was not aware of him when he heard this. He thought this "Qiao Ping'er" was indeed pretty. When facing someone with good looks, any normal person would have some thoughts about her, and Shui Rong was no exception.
In response to Feng Jieer's invitation, Shui Rong nodded slightly and said no more.
Seeing this, Feng Jieer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If the prince asked her for it, it would be difficult to refuse.
After a while, Feng Jieer led Shui Rong to a wing room. Hearing the chirping and laughter coming from the room, Feng Jieer turned around and smiled at Shui Rong. She lifted the curtain with her bare hands and laughed with her red lips: "Oh, I am not late, am I? Poor you, you sisters-in-law are having fun while I have to work hard for you."
"Her fair face contains charm yet is not revealed, her red lips are not opened yet her smile can be heard." The charm in Feng Jieer's smile made Shui Rong's heart tremble, she was really charming and flirtatious.
Chapter 108 Daiyu: Brother-in-law wants to kill her without leaving a single piece of armor
Inside the small house, everyone knew Feng Lazi had arrived as soon as they heard the voice. They all smiled at each other and looked towards the door.
When Sister Feng came in in a hurry, Daiyu's willow-like eyebrows like mist and rain slightly raised, and her bright starry eyes showed a hint of teasing. She held the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and smiled, "You annoying little girl Feng, why do you follow us wherever we go? You are so annoying!"
Hearing this, Sister Feng'er's phoenix eyes stood up pretty, she raised her pink embroidered handkerchief and put it on her waist, saying "Pah": "Look, look, there are so many teas and fruits in this room, which one was not carefully selected by me? Now that you have eaten and drunk your fill, you have turned your back on me."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, even Daiyu, who had spoken first, was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.
At this moment, Shui Rong followed him into the house. As soon as he entered the inner room, Shui Rong smelled the scent of cosmetics coming towards him, as if he was in a bush of flowers, with the fragrance in the air, and the flowers so numerous that they were dazzling.
When everyone saw Shui Rong, they stopped laughing immediately. The room suddenly became quiet. The lively faces showed different expressions, some were surprised, some were panicked. Some were exquisite, competing with each other for beauty, which made Shui Rong dazzled.
Several girls had met Shui Rong before and knew how humble he was. After they came back to their senses, they kept bowing to him, calling him "brother-in-law" over and over again.
Daiyu looked a little hesitant. She called out "brother-in-law" softly and then lowered her eyes without saying anything. Baochai raised her bright eyes to look at Shui Rong and also called out as everyone else did.
Tanchun's bright eyes flickered, and she stepped forward and asked, "Why is my brother-in-law here?"
Shui Rong looked at the young girl in front of him. Her small lips were slightly raised, and dimples appeared on her fair face, making her look like a young girl in love. Shui Rong couldn't help but feel happy, so he smiled and said, "I have nothing to do, so I came to take a look."
Seeing Shui Rong being led over, Sister Feng didn't want to stay any longer, so she interrupted and said, "Okay, I have to prepare the room for the prince, you guys can have fun first."
Tanchun looked a little puzzled when she heard this. Why was he going upstairs? So she asked, "Brother-in-law, do you want to rest for a while?"
Sister Feng laughed and said, "The prince drank too much, so he stayed in the mansion for a day."
Hearing this, Daiyu's eyes, which were filled with spirit, looked meaningfully at Shui Rong. Although her brother-in-law's face was a little flushed, it was not because he drank too much. Even if he did drink too much, he just needed to rest for a while in this situation and he didn't need to stay in the mansion for a whole day.
The people in the room were all smart daughters, and they all understood it at once.
Tanchun's eyes lit up slightly. They were lamenting the separation just now, but now they had to stay for another day. This was not the right time. Her brother-in-law was always considerate.
At this time, the young Shi Xiangyun could no longer hide her secrets. She smiled widely, puffed up her slightly chubby face, clapped her hands, and said excitedly, "Great, I want to sleep with my third sister today."
The girls all smiled as they looked at Shi Xiangyun's innocent look. Even Shui Rong couldn't help but be infected by her and felt more relaxed.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were elsewhere, Sister Feng'er's eyes turned slightly and she raised her eyebrows and said, "I said I was leaving, why didn't anyone respond?"
Daiyu smiled and said, "Then you should leave quickly, so as not to pollute our eyes."
Feng Jieer laughed loudly, then changed her expression and snorted, saying in a coquettish voice: "You good girl Lin, just wait for me, I will tear your mouth apart later."
Having said this, Sister Feng left with a happy face and she didn't look angry at all.
Shui Rong understood the situation after seeing this. Don’t think that these people are always sharp and merciless in their words. In fact, when facing people close to them, they speak freely without any scruples.
In the original novel, these women quarreled with each other a lot, but that was because of their close relationship. If they were strangers, how could they be so casual as they are all ladies from noble families?
Not to mention others, even Daiyu, who is known as "Lin Duidui", it can be seen that she used words to criticize him, which shows that she is not familiar with him.
Seeing Feng Jieer leave, Shui Rong asked Tanchun, "Third sister, I heard your laughter outside the house earlier. What were you doing?"
Hearing this, Tanchun turned around and looked at Xiangyun, smiled, pointed to the chessboard on the table, and said in a clear voice, "We were playing chess earlier, and Yun girl was making a fuss because she lost the game."
Xiangyun felt quite embarrassed, her face blushing as she whispered, "How could I have that?"
As she said this, Xiangyun gave Tanchun a reproachful look. If her brother-in-law knew about this embarrassing thing, she would lose all her face.
Shui Rong didn't notice anything when he heard that. Xiangyun was just a young girl, youthful and lively, and she was generous by nature. He guessed that she was just making a fuss.
However, looking at the chessboard on the table, Shui Rong was quite interested. He naturally knew a thing or two about chess, but he was not proficient in it. He just played it as a pastime.
After a pause, Shui Rong said with a smile, "Sister Yun, whoever you lost to in chess, I will avenge you and kill her without leaving a single piece of armor."
Everyone smiled when they heard this, and their pretty eyes looked at the delicate figure, it was Lin Daiyu.
At this time, Daiyu was a little flustered because the prince's brother-in-law wanted to kill her without leaving a single piece of armor. She pursed her moist lips, raised her misty eyebrows slightly, and said in a clear voice: "Yun girl is your sister, but I am not your sister. The prince is so partial to one and the other."
Shui Rong looked strange when he heard that, and he looked at the little girl with a slightly playful look on her brows. What she said not only pointed out that he was wrong in treating her differently, but she also called her "Prince" to show her attitude, which sounded like a question.
Shui Rong was just speaking casually and did not mean to discriminate against others. Daiyu's reputation for being sarcastic and picky about everything is well-deserved. This flavor is undoubtedly Lin Duidui.
Shui Rong chuckled and said, "Sister Lin, can you play a game of chess with me, your brother-in-law who favors one over the other?"
Daiyu smiled when she heard this. She knew that her brother-in-law was a humble person, but she didn't know that he could speak in a humorous way.
