Chapter 240 Love the House and the Dog
Rong Bing, who looked nervous, was stunned by Bao Ya's shout.
"Baoya, do you know them?"
Baoya nodded: "Yes, I know them. They are Master and Brother Xiaojing."
When Rong He heard her say "Brother Xiaojing", he also lifted the curtain on the other side and looked out.
He remembered that when they were watching the lanterns on the night of the Lantern Festival, Baoya seemed to be rescued by this little brother Jing, and then she left with this little brother Jing. Neither the eldest brother nor the second brother of the Yun family stopped her.
I looked over and saw that it was indeed the boy from that night.
"Grandpa, it's someone Baoya knows." he said.
Rong Bing glanced at him and said in an unhappy tone: "You know this again?"
Rong He pouted: "I saw it the other day."
"Grandpa, can I get out of the car?"
Beside her, Baoya tilted her head back, her watery eyes gazing at Rong Bing eagerly.
"Okay," Rong Bing helplessly supported his forehead with his hand, "Grandfather will go with you."
The little girl smiled immediately, her rosy little face full of brightness.
Baoya got out of the car first with her nimble little body, and stood on a footstool to open the curtain for Rong Bing, who then got out.
Rong He naturally didn't want to stay in the car alone, so he jumped out as well.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren got out of the car, and Jingzhen and the young man also walked over here.
The young man had an ordinary appearance, squinty eyes, a slightly dark complexion, a flat nose, and thick lips. He was not handsome at all.
"Brother Xiaojing, Master..."
Although Bao Ya knew that this young man was most likely Nan Xuan wearing a mask, she couldn't call him by his name, perhaps because his face was too ugly.
The young man saw that she stopped shouting halfway, and said "huh" in disdain and turned his head away.
Baoya: ...
It was confirmed that this person must be her master.
"Pavilion Master Rong."
Jing Zhen was the first to bow to Rong Bing and took the initiative to introduce himself, "Junior Jing Zhen, this is my master Nan Xuan, and Bao Ya is my junior sister."
Rong Bing did not answer, and there was no expression on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Jingzhen.
"Pavilion Master Rong."
“…”
"Pavilion Master Rong?"
"grandfather!"
Rong He, who was standing by, saw his grandfather suddenly staring at the young man in a daze, and embarrassedly pulled Rong Bing's sleeve.
"Hmph." Rong Bing came back to his senses and stared at Jingzhen with cold eyes.
"Old man, this is our first meeting, right?" Nan Xuan said unhappily, "What do you mean by staring at my little disciple like that?"
Rong Bing felt suffocated when he was called "old man".
He said coldly, "What interest can I have in you? His name is familiar to me, and he looks a bit like the son of an old friend of mine!"
"Oh..." Nan Xuan deliberately dragged out his words, "Then you must not have a good relationship with your old friend. You glare at someone who looks like his son?"
"You may be quite young, but your tone is quite aggressive," Rong Bing said coldly. "If it weren't for those narrow eyes, you would have glared at me long ago!"
Nan Xuan:......
Although this face is not his true appearance, but... it is quite heartbreaking.
Seeing that he was choking, Rong Bing flicked his sleeves and said, "Why, are you going the same way as us?"
Rong Bing is Baoya's grandfather after all. Jingzhen was afraid that Nanxuan would say something unpleasant again, so he quickly said:
"Please don't blame me, Pavilion Master Rong. My master is just a bit harsh in his words, but he's still a good person. He's always like that. Please don't bother with a junior like him."
"To be honest, my master is the owner of Hongdouxuan in Ping'an Town. We are returning to the main store in Beijing to purchase goods and settle accounts."
Hongdouxuan is just a branch store in Ping'an Town. The main store in the capital is called Baidouxuan.
Baidouxuan is quite famous in the Great Kang Kingdom. The current emperor's father who has passed away, the current empress dowager, and even the current emperor himself have all developed a spoiled appetite due to this dim sum shop.
Therefore, Baidouxuan was very prosperous, with branches all over the country of Dakang, even in small places like Ping'an Town.
However, it is said that the owner behind Baidouxuan is very mysterious and has never shown his face in public. No one knows whether he is a man, a woman, an old man or a child.
After hearing Jingzhen say that they were the apprentice and shopkeeper of the Baidouxuan branch, Rong Bing looked Jingzhen up and down again.
"In that case, let's go together." Rong Bing agreed very reluctantly, "I'm doing this for Baoya's sake, but we'll go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master Rong." Jing Zhen bowed to him politely again.
Rong Bing glanced at him, then his eyes swept coldly across Nan Xuan's face, then he flicked his sleeves, took Bao Ya and Rong He's hands, and turned back to the car.
Baoya didn't know why her master and grandfather had a falling out as soon as they met. She was being held by Rong Bing, and she turned her head with great effort and pouted at Nanxuan.
What happened to Master today? Even though she was usually unreliable, today, she felt that Nan Xuan was doing it on purpose.
Seeing Baoya pouting at him, Nan Xuan shamelessly made a face at the little girl.
Jingzhen was helpless and gave Baoya a comforting look.
Rong Bing took Bao Ya and Rong He back to the car, and the two of them also got on their own carriage.
Jing Zhen looked expressionlessly at the somewhat unremarkable young man sitting across from him: "Why are you deliberately picking on me?"
"Didn't we agree to test Rong Bing?" Nan Xuan looked innocent.
"But aren't you testing too much?" Jing Zhen looked displeased.
Nan Xuan raised an eyebrow and looked Jing Zhen up and down: "Tsk tsk tsk."
"What are you doing?!" Jingzhen was angry.
"Love the house and love the dog." Nan Xuan smiled, "I used to have a lot of problems with the Rong family, but now that Baoya has become a child of the Rong family, all the past things are written off."
"I remember." Jing Zhen's voice was cold, "But this is none of Baoya's business. Rong Bing is her grandfather now. As long as he doesn't get in my way, I won't interfere."
Nan Xuan stopped talking, shook his head and looked away.
Jing Zhen also turned his head. He lifted the curtain and looked ahead. The Rong family's carriage was not far ahead.
For four or five generations, the Rong family had ancestors who worked in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and each of them had superb medical skills and was highly appreciated by the royal family.
The ancestors of the Rong family had a motto: give priority to curing illnesses and saving lives, do not form cliques for personal gain, do not be greedy for money or power, and if you are able to serve in the palace, you should only be loyal to the emperor.
When it came to Rong Bing's generation, when Rong Ruoruo got into trouble, Rong Bing went to the palace to complain. The current emperor only said a few words of comfort and gave the Rong family a sum of gold and silver as compensation, but did not punish Ye Jinghua.
Rong Bing was heartbroken after losing his daughter. He did not express his opinion immediately, but at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he resigned from his position in the Imperial Medical Bureau to the emperor, saying that he planned to concentrate on running the Yaoxian Pavilion.
The feud between him and the Rong family started from the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet...
