Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Rongguo Mansion is the home of in-laws of the royal mansion, and Wang Ziteng is the most promising person among the four major families. His son's first birthday ceremony.In the Rongguo Mansion, except Mrs. Wang who did not come for unknown reasons, and Mrs. Jia who was too old to go out, the rest of the family members, including Mrs. Xing, all came over.

What surprised Jia Rong was that although Mrs. Wang didn't come, his precious son Jia Baoyu and Jia Zheng came together.

It can be seen that although Wang Ziteng disdains Jia Zheng, he is still good to Jia Baoyu, a nephew. At least when he faces him, his face is gentle, but when he talks to Jia Zheng, his whole face is dull , the tone of speech is also cold, as long as the eyes are not blind, people can see it.Wang Ziteng didn't like to see Jia Zheng.

What surprised him the most was that Jia Zheng had changed.

Jia Zhengsu prides himself on being a scholar, with aloofness and arrogance. In the past, he was most impatient with this kind of interpersonal entertainment.Not to mention that Wang Ziteng shamed him in front of so many people and made him lose all face. If it was Jia Zheng in the past, he might have walked away long ago.

But now, he is still sitting here perfectly, with a rather unmoving posture.In short, the skin is much thicker.

"Master, everything has been settled." At this moment, Wu Ya lowered his head slightly and whispered these words in Jia Rong's ear.

When Jia Rong heard this, she didn't feel any surprise. She bent her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "Well, I understand. Let them be more careful, so that they don't make mistakes."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, there's nothing wrong here. Go ahead."

"Yes."

"Lord Jia, what are you talking about so happy?" Although Jia Rong is not the protagonist of this banquet, she is not less popular than the protagonist Wang Ziteng. After all, as the new emperor's confidant, she is under 20 years old. At his young age, he was already the Minister of the Household Department of the second rank.Although it cannot be said that there is no one before or after, but if you look at the Daqian dynasty, he is definitely the first.

There were not a few people who fawned on him. Many officials present, especially those officials who were sent by the third prince and the sixth prince, came here after they knew that Jia Rong would also come.

Therefore, his every move is naturally noticed.

As Jia Rong's personal bodyguard, Wu Ya is naturally known to everyone as Jia Rong's status rises.Seeing him coming, he lowered his head and whispered a few words into Jia Rong's ear.Seeing that the smile on Jia Rong's face became brighter and brighter, it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.One of the young men asked a question.

Jia Rong looked sideways at the official who was speaking, but he was acquainted, a descendant of the Shi family, he could be regarded as Jia Rong's subordinate, he was an unranked master bookkeeper in the household department, smiled, and said: "You want to know?"

When the young man heard Jia Rong's words, although he still had a smile on his face and could even be said to look better than usual, for some reason he felt a little chilly, so he shook his head immediately: "No no , Master Jia, I'm just asking casually, you don't need to answer." The tone was as respectful as it could be.

His attitude made others laugh.

I thought I was slapping the big red man's ass, but I didn't expect that I almost got the photo on the horse's leg.

At this moment, I saw a young maid hurriedly walking over with her head down, walked to Jia Zheng's side, blessed her body, and said in a crisp voice: "My aunt, my wife sent word that yes The second aunt wants to see Master Baobiao, please ask Master Baobiao to come over."

"Master..." Jia Baoyu was already bored here, and wanted to go to the inner courtyard, but he was always afraid of Jia Zheng, and he didn't dare to bring it up in front of Jia Zheng. Immediately, he stood up tremblingly, and said in a trembling tone.

Jia Zheng didn't say anything when he heard that it was Shi who sent someone to invite him. He waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, you can go over."

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly got up to leave.

As soon as he walked out of the place where he was receiving guests, he saw Xiren who came with him follow behind him.

Speaking of Xiren, he is also a person with good luck.The last time when Jia Baoyu and Xiren Wencun had a good relationship, Jia Zheng bumped into him.Jia Baoyu was beaten almost to death by Jia Zheng.Logically speaking, even if the attacker was fine at the time, afterward, Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother, who love Jia Baoyu, would always settle accounts.She has only two fates.One was beaten to death, and the other was sold out.

But being born this Xiren is different, and he found a third way for himself.I don't know what she said to Mrs. Wang?Not only did Mrs. Wang not blame her, she even promoted her to officially become Jia Baoyu's housemaid.

That is to say, from that time on, Jia Baoyu treated Xiren even more differently.Generally speaking, he would bring Xiren with him for small family gatherings like this.

All the way to the inner courtyard, Jia Baoyu was led by the servant girl to Shi's.But as a servant girl, even if Xiren is useful, it is not enough status to go with her at this time.After all, there are many dignitaries and ladies in the inner room, so it would be bad if they collide.

Here, Xiren was led into a warm pavilion on the side by a little maid.

"Auspicious, elder sister Xiren is a respectable person next to Master Baobiao. Waiting here is the most boring thing. Go to the kitchen and bring some snacks and dried fruits." Looking at Xiren again, he said with a smile: " Well, Sister Xiren, you can enjoy snacks here while waiting for Master Baobiao. This is the inner courtyard, and there are all female relatives inside, if you want to come, Master Baobiao will come out soon."

Xiren also nodded with a smile, "Then thank this sister."

The little maid smiled, and said a few more polite words to Xi Ren.

After a while, a little maid wearing emerald green clothes came in with a tray in her hand, and Fushen said: "The kitchen is busy today, so I only brought some snacks that have already been made here, I hope to attack people." Elder sister, don't mind." Then he took out the plates on the tray one by one.

Xiren is the most virtuous person, especially in other people's homes, he dare not take it too seriously, so he smiled and said: "This is really too polite, such a happy and busy day, but I let you bother me." Said Then he took off the twisted silk silver bracelet from his wrist, and put it on the wrist of the little maid who brought the things just now.He took off a silver-plated gold-plated treasure-inlaid butterfly hairpin from his head, put it on the head of another maid, and said with a smile: "It really suits you very much."

The two maids were not very old, so they were naturally overjoyed to see Xiren's generosity in action at this time.We talked together for a while.

Just like what I said before, Jia Baoyu came out not long after.Xiren also quickly bid farewell to the two little maids and left.

When Xiren left, he was still laughing and chatting with her just now, Xiren's elder sister was long, Xiren's elder sister was short, the two little maids who called happily.The smiling face turned cold in an instant. One of them was a little older, and he glanced sideways. The pastry that had been eaten by several pieces was crushed one by one by himself. .Then I don't know where to take out a piece of oil paper to wrap these broken pastries.

Turning her head to the slightly smaller maid and nodded: "Okay, it's all right here. Remember, if someone asks, just say it, don't hide it. Of course, if no one asks, just say it Let it go. Got it?"

The little maid smiled and nodded immediately: "Don't worry, sister, I will save it."

"Well, let's go get busy."

The two soon separated and were busy with their own affairs.

A group of people were chatting and laughing, and it was time to start the meeting.As the host, Wang Ziteng naturally warmly entertained the guests to take their seats quickly.

A series of exquisite delicacies were brought up, and the chef of Fumanlou personally prepared the spoons.Because Yue Mo really thanked Jia Rong for giving him a direct son, the few dishes placed in front of Jia Rong all tasted lighter.

Although it has been a year since Wang Ziteng got his son, his excitement is still undiminished and his mood is always good.He saw Wu Ya and Guan Yan who were standing not far behind Jia Rong, waiting for orders, and saw that behind the others there were also personal servants or maidservants.After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and told his confidant Wang Lu who was standing by the side, "Go ask someone to set up another table of dishes, and invite those young men to go over and be happy together." Baoyu couldn't help frowning and sighing when Xiren was behind him.This precious jade is much worse than the original Pearl.

Wang Lu quickly clapped his hands to answer.

Hearing Wang Ziteng's words, the other servants and maids quickly thanked him.He followed Wang Lu and went out together, and Xiren was no exception.

Because they are just servants and maids who serve others, naturally they don't value the difference between men and women like the girls and masters in the mansion, so they all eat at the same table.

Compared with the delicious delicacies inside, their dishes are naturally inferior, but they are all exquisite meals that are rarely seen in their daily life.All the people are naturally very happy.However, these servants are also classified into three, six or nine ranks, and the master's position is high, so the status of these servants is naturally extraordinary.For example, Guan Yan and Wu Ya who came with Jia Rong are the objects of praise.

Neither Guan Yan nor Wu Ya are aloof and arrogant people, and they soon became friends with these little servant girls.Even the maidservants who were with him tried to test Wuya Guanyan with words.Of course, it was not a secret matter, but to ask if they were married, and after finding out if they were married, their eyes lit up and hinted to the two of them.

Just when they were chatting and laughing in harmony, something unexpected happened. Under the persuasion of one of the maids, Xiren picked up a chopstick of mandarin squirrel fish into his mouth.It's just that a sense of nausea that was caught off guard came to my heart, Xier panicked, and one of them couldn't hold back, so he vomited out.

Seeing this, the two people who were sitting with her quickly jumped up.The hem of one of the servant girls was splashed with vomit, and she was so disgusted immediately, she shouted: "What are you doing?" She kept stomping her feet, as if trying to get the vomit off the skirt Same.

"I'm sorry, I...vomit..." As soon as Xiren apologized, no one was there again, and he vomited.

Seeing this, many servants and maidservants who were together stood up from the dining table immediately, with disgusted expressions on their faces.Only one of the kind-hearted people was really uncomfortable seeing Xiren vomit. After seeing that she did not vomit, he poured a glass of water and brought it to her, and said softly, "Sister, drink water to moisten your throat?" Xiren's face was pale and pale, without a trace of blood, he paused and said: "Are you all right? Do you want to ask the doctor in the mansion to take a look?"

Xiren suddenly thought that her menstruation was late for a long time. The doctor in the mansion said that her body was deficient and her menstruation was irregular. Take it to heart.But thinking about the situation just now, she is not an innocent little girl, so she has some guesses in her heart, knowing that if she is really pregnant, she must not be found out on such an occasion, otherwise, Not to mention that the child in her stomach could not be kept, even she herself was in danger of life.The reason why she was able to convince the second wife to stay with her last time was because there were only a few people who knew about it, and they didn't spread it.But now, if the news of her pregnancy is revealed here and ruins the reputation of Second Master Bao, the second wife will definitely not bypass her.

Therefore, Xiren shook his head lightly and said: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I am here only because of the wind blowing on the way here. It seems that I have suffered from the cold and feel a little uncomfortable. There is no need to ask the doctor for such a Trouble. Go back later and take a couple of pills, and you'll be fine."

But even though she said that, her face was pale without a trace of blood, and as soon as she finished speaking, she felt sick again and wanted to vomit again.

At this time, a servant girl, seeing her like this, was so blessed that she suddenly thought of something. Her eyes, which were not too big, immediately opened wide, and she blurted out, "You look like you are pregnant, right?"

As soon as she said this, she saw other people immediately looked at Xi Ren with strange and gossipy eyes.

When Xiren heard this, he panicked for a moment and opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but when he opened his mouth, he vomited again.

The servants and maids present, the servants are okay to say a little bit, they are not very proficient in the affairs of the daughter's house, but this is a place to entertain male guests, and generally speaking, the servants or guards who come with them are the servants or guards.The maids who came with the men were not innocent people. They were either sent by the mistress to watch over their masters, or they were house maids like Xiren.

Although she has never been pregnant before, she may not want to.Naturally, the characteristics of pregnancy are also known.

Seeing that Xiren vomits badly, isn't it typical morning sickness?

They exchanged knowing glances with each other.

In a short time, I don't know which person who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal actually invited the doctor from the palace.In fact, people like Wangfu usually have a doctor in the mansion.So after the doctor came slowly carrying the medicine box, although Xiren tried to refute in her heart, but she didn't have much right to speak here, so she was forcibly held down, and the doctor felt the pulse.

"Congratulations, I'm pregnant for one and a half months." The doctor stroked his beard slowly and said so.

Hearing this news, Xiren's face turned pale.

But Wu Ya and Guan Yan, who had retreated to the back without a trace, looked at each other when they heard the news, then clasped their fists to one side, and stopped talking.
