The Honor of the Red Chamber

Here Jia Rong is at ease in Jia Qiang's small family, while Jia's family is already busy there.

As the end of the year approaches, the aristocratic families like the Jia family are busier and busier. The old and the new are celebrated, and the stewards of the farms scattered all over the country also go to Beijing one after another to hand over their income for a year. With eight abacus, so as to clear the accumulated accounts for a year, all the officials and gentlemen do not touch the ground. Even Jia Zheng, who is in an idle official position, has to prepare various correspondence documents, report to his superiors for a year's work, and Participate bitterly in the examination and evaluation activities formulated by the Ministry of Officials, and determine the evaluation related to whether there will be changes in official positions in the coming year.

Although Dream of Red Mansions is mainly based on the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion, life is not a novel. The closer the year is, Ningguo Mansion is more hectic than Rongguo Mansion. At one time, it has to deal with people and accounts, and at the same time it has to arrange the affairs of the Jia family, and the ancestral hall at the end of the year Xianggong and so on, Jia Zhen, Youshi, Qin Keqing, the three of them were so busy that the soles of their feet hit the back of their heads.

After all, the Rongguo Mansion has a capable butler grandma, the cumbersome affairs are not too difficult for the smart and shrewd Wang Xifeng. Although Youshi is somewhat intelligent, after all, his background limits his knowledge, especially the banquets of those rich and powerful families are even more particular. Qin Keqing is smart and doesn't overwhelm Wang Xifeng, she is graceful and peaceful, and she has the demeanor of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hou family. However, she is weak and over-thinking, struggling to deal with it for a few days, and finally unable to hold on to bed. For a while, Jia Zhen was the only one left in the Ningguo Mansion, who was so busy that she didn't even know that You Shi had delegated power and that Qin Keqing had fallen ill.

When Jia Zhen was so busy that she didn't even go to the room of Peifeng, the concubine Ji whom Xiang Ri loved for half a month, Fang realized something was wrong and couldn't help being furious.

"Why don't you see Rong'er? Look at how busy everyone is. His wife has lost a lot of weight because of exhaustion. Where does he go to enjoy the blessing? He has become a homeless bastard?!"

She is in her thirties, and Jia Zhen takes good care of herself on a daily basis. Although she is overly drunk, she has a good skin. When her eyebrows are straight and her eyes are straight, she is quite majestic. , To Jia Rong is also a full-fledged strict father attitude, a little unsatisfactory, beats and scolds at every turn, humiliates in every possible way, tightly hugs Jia Rong on the word "filial piety", without any compassion.

You Shi felt bitter in his heart, but his face was nonchalant, but he still quietly defended Jia Rong, "Because his body is still not comfortable, since the small banquet that day, some doctors said that he needs to move around more. Seeing him several times, his complexion is It's better than usual, only the master is not at home, so I haven't seen him."

Jia Zhen didn't take it seriously, her face was still gloomy, "Why is he so delicate, he has been raised for a long time and hasn't improved? He is probably so used to it that he is arrogant again, and he doesn't even pay attention to me. He doesn't know how to share his father's worries all day long. What is he for?"

As soon as these words came out, Youshi immediately shrank his head, not daring to speak anymore.

Jia Zhen also took it for granted, turned her head angrily and ordered the servant—"Turn Rong'er back to me, what does it look like? I didn't see that my mother was too busy to touch the ground, and my son was taking a break!"

Unable to let go of her anger, she was especially angry in her heart, Jia Zhen unavoidably lashed out at Youshi again, her face became calmer, and she didn't wait for the servant to come back, she directly confessed to Youshi, and turned to Peifeng's place.

After Jia Zhen left, You Shi closed the door wearily, lowered her head and sighed secretly, if she had a son and a half daughter, she would be guaranteed to live in Jia's mansion, now she would not be so embarrassing, but she was not up to date, so what?When she married in, her stepson, Jia Rong, was too old to be close to, and she could see clearly that the father and son had long since separated. Even if she shed all the tears in her life, she knew that her husband The stepsons are unreliable.

If it wasn't for that vixen, how could she have fallen into such a situation?It's a shame that she treated that Hu Meizi as her own daughter at the beginning, so what kind of things don't go according to her wishes?If it wasn't for Brother Rong's accident, she wouldn't have known...

Now poor brother Rong has a home and can't go back, that Hu Meizi still has the face to hold his heart and frown all day long, his eyes don't know where to fly, and he's not afraid of retribution! !

People often say that she is not as good as Wang Xifeng or her daughter-in-law in managing the family, so how dare Wang Xifeng be so flamboyant?How could that Hu Meizi dare to dominate the mansion if she was not on the top of a few hills?It's not that...but for her, her husband is unreliable, her stepson is unacceptable, her daughter-in-law is unacceptable, her mother's family is untrustworthy, and her husband can't wait to give his heart to that vicious son. She has the ability, so how dare she show it?

It's just a pity for Brother Rong—she especially remembers that on the day she got married, Brother Rong, who was as fair and lovely as a pink ball, even though his face was pale, still respectfully called her "Mother"...

The young servant who was looking for someone was clever, and went straight to Jia Qiang's house as soon as he went out, and soon found Jia Rong.

Jia Qiang has been rubbed hard these days, curled up softly in bed all day long, drowsy, rarely pulled out by Jia Rong, and forced him to accompany her to bask in the sun and practice a set of "gymnastics" for physical fitness (taught by Ning The old man who respected Hai’s ancient martial arts mentality should be so angry that he jumped out of the coffin), and the two listened to the young servant’s vivid description of Jia Zhen’s expression and tone. After exercising his body nonchalantly, and then using Jia Qiang as a ruler to make gestures, he was satisfied to find that he was taller and stronger again, and finally returned slowly with the servant.

"Mother, I heard that my father is looking for me?" Jia Rong stood under the eaves of the main room and asked lightly.

Youshi's heart was disturbed, coupled with being scolded by Jia Zhen at will, and remembering what Jia Zhen had done to Jia Rong, he couldn't help feeling a little bit of sympathy for his stepson, which weakened the natural awkwardness of the stepmother towards his stepson before. Seeing Jia Rong again, I couldn't help but take a closer look.

Hei is a little thinner than before the injury, but he is more energetic. His originally plump cheeks are slightly flattened, highlighting the shadows of his cheekbones and jawbone. With a cold and hard air, he was dressed in a light blue brocade robe, tightly tied with an ivory brocade belt, showing a thin and strong waist, and the person became more and more straight and clear like a green pine and bamboo.

You Shi suddenly realized the difference between his step-son and his father. They obviously have five or six points similar in appearance, but their temperament is completely different. The inner beauty and brilliance have clearly gradually revealed themselves.

Youshi is not a fool, such an accidental discovery made Youshi's mind flashed an adventurous thought-although it is an adventure, but if she fails, the situation will not be worse than now, if she succeeds, she can guarantee the rest of her life Reliable.

Thinking of this, Youshi's expression became very kind. He nodded, sighed first, and waved back to the left and right. His tone was earnest and full of comfort, "Don't you know your father? It's not a big idea. I'm just angry with you. If you don’t want to go home, I think it’s not an option for you to avoid him like this. You might as well look away and live your life as you want. Born into a family like ours, there are not many worries? You little man, There will be a long time to come, how can you be depressed like this?"

Jia Rong, who seemed to be listening carefully under the eaves, raised her eyebrows in her heart, thought about these words for a while, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth—this is really called sleepiness, so she sent a pillow. I didn't expect to meet the first person so easily An ally, a female ally who, as Jia Zhen's successor, had ruined her talents and wisdom.

Jia Rong's unusual silence made Youshi tighten the handkerchief slightly, and carefully explored Jia Rong's expression, for fear that something might be wrong, but also secretly regretted that he was too reckless, even if he wanted to test, he had to take his time That's right, I said it so hastily, in case it reaches Jia Zhen's ears...

Here, Youshi was thinking wildly, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Jia Rong suddenly raised his face and smiled, and said leisurely, "Mother said so, the child is very ashamed, and can't share the parents' worries. Instead, the parents are worried. You should listen to it in the future." What my mother said, cheer up, a man is a man, if you fall and you can't get up, don't you laugh your ass off?"

You Shi felt relieved, overjoyed, unable to hide his smile, nodded quickly, "Very well, since you think so, I am relieved, you are willing to cheer up, why can't you get over it? Just now your father told you to go Borrow a glass screen over there, saying that you want to invite distinguished guests from the palace, and if you do it well, it will also be a talk to your father."

"The child obeys the mother."

Only after performing a filial and respectful gesture, Jia Rong retreated calmly, leaving Youshi with a smile that could not be suppressed, as if a big stone had been put down in his heart, and his whole body became light.
