The Red Mansions

Chapter 29 Jia Zhen: Don't say this, I swear I'm not a human being!
Just at this time, a servant came to report outside the hall, and the second master Lian sent Zhao'er, a servant beside him, to pass on the message, and Sister Feng hurriedly asked people to come in.

Zhao'er hit Qian'er and said: "Please be well to the ancestor, please be well, please be well, the second grandma... Uncle Zhen has woken up, and he also invited the doctor, saying that his face was swollen and his skin was traumatized. The heavenly medicine will be great."

"Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless..." Mother Jia recited a few words of the Buddha's name, and the others were also slightly relieved of worry, and kept chanting. Only Sister Feng looked strange, raised her eyes and looked at You Shi, the two sisters-in-law vaguely understood what.

On this side, Baoyu also came out from behind the screen, followed by the little girls Dai, Ying, Tan and Xi who also got up and looked around curiously.

"Old ancestor." Baoyu rushed into the old lady's arms, acting coquettishly and foolishly.

Jia Mu hugged Jia Baoyu and said comfortingly, "My Baoyu, you weren't frightened just now."

Jia Baoyu acted coquettishly for a while, and asked, "Old Ancestor, why did I hear that Brother Zhen, something happened?"

"I don't know what's going on, but these servants are yelling, I'm going over to have a look." Jia Mu smiled kindly.

As long as it wasn't for the horrifying things that happened to the top man in front, Mother Jia, the old lady of the Jia family who was used to big storms, would still be able to withstand things.

As if feeling Jiamu's calm attitude, the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall that was originally mourning and concubine dissipated, Sister Feng persuaded with a light smile: "Old Ancestor, it's a dark time, why don't I accompany Sister-in-law You to Dongfu to have a look?" Brother Jane."

Although there are passages between the East and West Mansions, but in the middle of the night, the old lady is getting old, so if something goes wrong, it's not just a joke.

Mrs. Wang said: "What Feng girl said is reasonable."

Jia Mu said: "Yuanyang, you also go to have a look and ask what's the matter, why did you swell up the face."

Baoyu also said: "Old ancestor, I will also go to Dongfu to see Brother Zhen."

"It must be a mess there right now, you can go see your brother Zhen tomorrow." Jiamu said with a smile, and nodded Baoyu's forehead.

Baoyu had no choice but to give up.

Seeing that the mandarin ducks were about to go there, Sister Feng knew that she couldn't hide the matter, and said, "Old ancestor, I'm afraid it wasn't Master Heng from the back street who beat him."

"Which Master Heng?" Mother Jia frowned and asked.

Zhao'er at the side said, "Second Master said, it was Uncle Heng who beat him."

Sister Feng met the gazes of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and said, "It's Uncle Jia from the wicker alley in the back street. He disappeared a long time ago, and only Aunt Dong and a boy, Jia Heng, are left. Big, Aunt Dong passed away a few years ago, this child has no parents to take care of him, so his temper is not so lonely."

In front of Jia's mother and other relatives in the inner house, Sister Feng didn't call Jia Si'er by his first name.

A strange look appeared on Li Wan's jade face at the side, and a tall and straight figure of a young man seemed to appear in front of his eyes, Jia Heng?He is very brave.

There was a bit of displeasure in Jia Mu's old eyes, holding back her anger, and asked: "Which Uncle Heng am I? Why did Jia Heng beat Brother Zhen?"

Wang Xifeng said: "Then Jia Heng is used to wielding knives and guns, and is very aggressive. It is quite normal for young people to throw their fists at each other when they disagree with each other."

Youshi was kind and honest, but he didn't add any embellishments. His soft and charming voice was choked with sobs, and he said, "The master found a marriage for Brother Rong. She is the daughter of Qin Ye's family, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, but he doesn't want her to marry him." I have already made a baby marriage, and I made a marriage letter in the early years, and the man in the marriage letter is Jia Heng. The master wanted to ask Jia Heng to let him withdraw the marriage. After a while, there was actually a commotion. Lai Sheng went over and said a few words If you don't agree, you will be beaten with a swollen face... like something."

Remembering that her husband had just been beaten and his face was swollen, Youshi swallowed the words when he reached the edge of his pink lips, and hurriedly changed his words.

Mother Jia was silent for a while, thinking non-stop in her heart.

Needless to say, Brother Zhen in the East Mansion is mostly using money, intimidating and luring people to withdraw their marriage, but he happened to meet a hot-tempered clansman, young and energetic...

It's better to bully a pulsatilla than to bully a young man who is poor. Brother Zhen, why doesn't he know this?If you have to make a fuss, why do you want to do this?

Brother Rong, the serious grandson of the Duke of the State, has no choice but to take away his family's marriage.

Brother Zhen is confused.

And Jia Heng, who has no seniority or inferiority, greets Brother Zhen's face as soon as he makes a move, is it plausible?

Jia Zhen is the patriarch, representing the dignity of the Jia family!

Mother Jia only felt tired for a while, so she leaned on her crutch so hard that the ground thumped, and said, "Someone call Jia Heng!"

"Now?" Sister Feng's bright face showed some hesitation, and said: "It's so late, how about tomorrow..."

It's about the right time, that is, after ten o'clock in the evening, even if you want to clean up Jia Heng, you have to wait until tomorrow.

Li Wan also stepped forward to persuade: "Old lady, please don't be angry. It's very late at night. It's earth-shattering. Besides, there are soldiers from the five cities patrolling the streets. It's inconvenient to come and go. Let the child come tomorrow and see you early." Now, it’s Big Brother Zhen’s side, which makes people worry, and I don’t know what’s going on.”

When Jia Mu heard the words, she also felt reasonable, sighed heavily, and said: "I am old, and I don't care much about the affairs of the family in the mansion. Brother, the shameful incident of brothers fighting each other made a lot of people laugh!"

Brother or not, it is natural to say that Jia Zhen, as a clan brother, snatches marriages for her own children.

Brother or not, that is to say, Jia Heng, as a clan brother, slaps his clan brother in the face, does he still have the Jia family in his eyes?
Yuanyang hurriedly brought a cup of maple dew tea, and persuaded with a smile: "Old lady, there are thousands of people in this clan, and everything goes well, there are always some youthful and willful, the old lady should follow along." If you are angry, then you don’t have to do anything for three meals a day, and you will be full when you get angry.”

This maid in Jiamu's house is just young, with a pretty face, almond eyes and peach cheeks, wearing a green waistcoat with pinched teeth on her upper body, and a pleated skirt with green radishes on her lower body, her soft and beautiful hair is braided and tied with a red rope. , the voice is clear and sweet, like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, calming Jiamu's anger.

When Sister Feng saw that Jiamu was angry, Danfeng turned her eyes and persuaded: "Old ancestors, ordinary people's homes, brothers' homes are always fighting, and they have a meal with teeth and tongue, and bump up and down from time to time. Fighting, who would say no to kissing? How can there be any jokes."

Mrs. Wang also came to persuade, and Baoyu was acting coquettishly on the side, and several sisters and sisters came to talk with them. Jiamu looked better and told Sister Feng: "Feng girl, and Youshi, hurry to Dongfu to see." Brother Zhen, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow."

After tossing for a long time, Mother Jia was obviously a little tired.

But in the East Mansion, the backyard was brightly lit, and in the flower hall, Jia Zhen was lying on a rattan chair with a towel on her face, whooping non-stop, with anger burning in her eyes.

This pampered young man was so grown up that when he was a child, he was slapped by his father Jia Jing. After many years, it was the first time he was slapped in the face by a member of the side tribe. He felt extremely humiliated.

He didn't even react before, and when his mentality was out of balance, he actually uttered shocking words of begging for death.

Now that he has calmed down, he can't help being afraid, then Jia Heng's face is full of viciousness, is he drawing his sword to kill him?

No, he didn't dare, he never dared to...

Jia Lian sighed at the side: "Brother Zhen, good business and good quantity. As the saying goes, there is no righteousness in business. How did you come to this point?"

Jia Zhen's eyes spewed fire, the pain on her cheeks, and the sense of humiliation in her heart tormented her heart, she said: "Second Brother, I want to kill that brat! I want to kill him, and I will report to the Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow. Sue him for disobedience to the patriarch, let someone take him! Exile, exile..."

When Jia Lian heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he thought secretly, disobedience to the patriarch, exile from the army?Brother Zhen's yamen was opened by our Jia family?
I still have to persuade: "Brother Zhen, calm down first, although Jia Heng is a bit hateful, but judging by his posture, he is also a fierce and tyrannical person. If he becomes more aggressive, he will attack Brother Zhen with a knife and a gun. …Brother Zhen, didn’t you hit the jar with a jade object?”

"If I don't say this, I swear I won't be human!" Jia Zhen said angrily.
