Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

May 28, 28th year of Longqi, suitable for marriage.

In Ningguo Mansion, gongs and drums are beating today, lanterns and festoons are decorated, and red is everywhere.Today is the day when Jia Zhen, the only son of the first-class general Jia Jing of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen, the third-rank Wei Lie, remarries his successor.

Speaking of Ningguo Mansion, it can be regarded as one of the best wealthy families in the capital.

The ancestors of the Jia family followed the Taizu to conquer the world. After the founding of the dynasty and the founding of the country, he was named the Duke of Ningguo.And Jia Yuan, the second son of the ancestor of the Jia family, is also extraordinary. With his military exploits, he earned himself a Duke of Rong.

One family and two fathers, the ancestor of the Jia family died with a smile on his face.

Because of one family and two males, the Jia family was divided into two branches, Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Yan, the second generation Ningguo Duke, was the leader, and Jia Yuan, the Rongguo Duke, was the second.

Jia Yan had four sons in total, one descendant and three concubines. His eldest son, Jia Daihua, inherited the title of title. The title of title, but that's just a false name, he has no real power in his hands.But this Jia Daihua gave birth to a good son, Jia Jing.

Jia Jing was very talented in reading, but at the age of 17, he won the exam, studied hard at home for three years, and became a Jinshi in Longqi Bingchen Division.After staying in the Hanlin Academy for three years, he was sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs.After another seven or eight years, when he was less than thirty, he was promoted to Yuanwailang. It can be said that his future is promising.But it is such a person with a bright future. For some reason, after his wife passed away in dystocia, he became obsessed with burning alchemy and refining mercury. For this reason, he resigned from his official position. When he was last year, He entered the Xuanzhen Temple outside the city to practice.

After he entered the temple, he presented himself to Emperor Longqi and let his only son Jia Zhen inherit the title of General Wei Lie of the third rank.

It's just that Jia Zhen didn't inherit his father's talent for reading at all. He is a full-fledged playboy who only wants to have fun. Earlier, his father Jia Jing and his mother Tian were in charge, but later Tian's dystocia When he died, his father Jia Jing went to the Tao again, and he attacked the official.This Jia Zhen only overturned the Ningguo Mansion, and no one dared to take care of it.

Last year, this Jia Zhen's wife, Feng Shi, died of illness, and now she has only kept her wife's filial piety for a year, and can't wait to welcome the bride into the door.

It is said that this marriage was planned by Jia Zhen herself.The other party is just a small family, and her father is only a ninth-rank official the size of a sesame seed, but the girl is really beautiful, and she was seen by Jia Zhen somehow, and she was very envious of her. He couldn't wait to welcome in the door.

In the Ningguo mansion, because Jia Jing was obsessed with cultivating immortals and became a Taoist, no matter what happened, the two wives in charge also passed away one after another. Jia Zhen was the biggest in the whole mansion, and no one dared to deal with his marriage with a wrong family. Say nothing wrong.

Qinghui Garden, Martial Arts Field

The predecessor of this martial arts field is Yishuiju, which is located in the northeast of Ningguo Mansion. It is a small courtyard. Three years ago, Jia Zhen's only son, Jia Rong, began to practice martial arts. The courtyard behind the courtyard, that is, Yishuiju, was opened up, and the two courtyards were merged into one courtyard, which was renamed Qinghui Garden.In addition, wooden stakes and other things were installed on the side of Yishuiju, turning this place into a martial arts arena.

At this time, in the center of the courtyard, a boy about seven or eight years old, wearing plain brocade clothes and born in jade snow, was holding a green dragon sword in his hand, and was gesticulating seriously.Although he is young, his moves are extremely powerful and fierce, not inferior to that adult at all.

After an unknown amount of time, the little boy put away his sword, exhaled a foul breath, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

And not far away, a few boys standing in the corner saw the little boy put away his sword and pushed and shoved, a boy of twelve or thirteen was pushed out, but seeing him turning his head three times at a step, Slowly walked towards the child.

When the little servant walked three steps away from the little boy's side, he stopped, bowed his body, and said in a more cautious voice: "Master, Manager Wang asked the servant to come over and tell you that today is the master's great joy." Day, look at the time, it's time for you to change and go to the front hall."

It turned out that this little boy was the son left behind by Jia Zhen's first wife, Mrs. Feng, who passed away a year ago. That unlucky girl had disguised herself as a male impostor, Jia Rong.

Jia Rong snorted coldly: "He is overjoyed, what are you looking for me for? Just go and go."

Hearing Jia Rong's words, the servant almost wanted to cry, "Master, don't embarrass this slave. Today is the master's great joy. If you don't show up, someone may make up something. No matter where the master is, the slave can't explain it." , Lord, please take pity on this slave at any rate, and go with the slave."

"Pity?" Jia Rong's tone became colder, "You said it yourself, you are nothing more than a slave. What right do you have to ask me to take pity on you? If you are a beauty, I would be more than happy. But you...how cool Why stay here..." His eyes suddenly turned cold, and his voice was even more icy, "Go back and get ten boards from Lai Er."

If I had known that Jia Zhen was not a good person, let alone his wife's filial piety had passed, it was fair for him to marry his second wife.It was just after Feng's death, before he was buried in the earth, he hooked up with a beautiful maid.Being so greedy and lustful, she was not at all surprised that he couldn't wait to welcome the newcomer into the house just after his wife's filial piety.But wanting her to put money on his new wife's face is simply a dream!If it weren't for the fact that she is really young now, someone in the house needs to be watching, and Jia Zhen is Jia Rong's own father.How could I allow him to jump around like this here!

After hearing Jia Rong's words, the boy was about to cry.

What's wrong with failing to do well what the master told me, and even getting ten boards for nothing?But looking at Jia Rong's fierce expression, thinking of this master's fierce temperament, and the martial arts that should not be underestimated at such a young age, the boy's heart is no longer willing, He had no choice but to answer with a mournful face, and then left in dismay.

Seeing the boy leave, Jia Rong only smiled coldly, then turned and left.

Back to the front, which is the original Zhisongyuan.

As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a well-dressed lady who was about forty years old.Seeing Jia Rong, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Brother, I'm back from practicing martial arts. The old slave prepared black chicken soup and let them cook it for three hours. Brother, hurry up and try it. I have worked hard for half a day, but I have to Replenish your vitality." As he spoke, he brought over a celadon bowl that was still slightly steaming.

Jia Rong was also refreshing, took the bowl from the woman, tested the temperature, and saw that it was just right, she drank it in one gulp, and then said: "Mother, let someone prepare water, I want to take a bath." She is a clean freak Yes, the most important thing is not to be dirty. Every time I practice martial arts, I must take a shower after sweating. Otherwise, the clothes, especially the inner shirt, will be wet and stick to the body, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.After a pause, he continued, "I'm a little hungry, so I'll ask someone to prepare some more food."

As for the woman in front of me, she is Mrs. Wu, the most powerful confidant of her deceased mother, Feng Shi. Feng Shi grew up, and he was the most loyal to Feng Shi.Before he died, Mrs. Feng realized that she was afraid that after her death, the bride would come in and not allow her son, so she asked Mrs. Wu to come and serve her.In order to protect her to grow up safely.

Jia Rong was somewhat resistant. Although there is no spiritual energy here and she cannot cultivate, she is not even capable of growing up.Just thinking that this was Feng's request before she died, she did not refuse.However, having Mrs. Wu by her side, taking care of all the affairs around her, did save her a lot of trouble.

"Knowing my brother's habits, I have already prepared it." Mrs. Wu looked at Jia Rong lovingly, and said so.

After bathing, Jia Rong ate something. Of course, since she was still in the filial piety period, the food was naturally vegetarian.

Because she was a cultivator in the past, and after the establishment of the foundation, she was able to indica, so she didn't have too many demands on her appetite?Just enough to eat.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wu said that she was practicing martial arts every day when she was growing up, and it was very hard.So after practicing martial arts every day, I must drink a bowl of fragrant black chicken soup by myself, which is said to nourish the body.

Just as Jia Rong had eaten, before the dishes could be removed, Zhiwen heard that Wang Xing, who was beside the master, had arrived.

"Please come in." Jia Rong said with a glint of gloom in his eyes.

Not long after, under Mrs. Wu's worried eyes, a young man in his twenties with an ordinary face, but with a shrewd and cunning look in his eyes was ushered in.Looking at the material of his clothes, which are high-quality cotton, one can tell that he has quite some status in the mansion.

"Come on, what are you doing here?" Jia Rong didn't have any interest in listening to him talking nonsense. After he saluted, he didn't ask him to get up, and asked in a cold voice.

Wang Xing was brought back from Zhuangzi once by Jia Zhen. Because of his eloquence and dexterity in handling affairs, he is now regarded as a proud person in front of Jia Zhen and is highly valued. Seeing him salute, Jia Rong didn't ask him to get up, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his face quickly, but he said: "Master, today is a happy day for Master to marry a wife. Master sent The villain comes over and asks the uncle to go to the front hall."

"I've already told you not to go. What's the matter? The boy you sent didn't tell you?" Jia Rong said coldly.

The corner of Wang Xing's mouth froze suddenly.

Earlier, he had already sent a young man over, but he didn't think about it, the man was not invited, but the young man got ten boards instead.It's just that today is a great joy, and it's not easy to see blood, so I will write it down first, and then receive the punishment after today.Now when he heard Jia Rong talking about this matter, he felt a little unhappy, thinking that Jia Rong had slapped him in the face, and adding that Jia Rong refused to let him get up for a long time, he felt even more unhappy.

What kind of master Zipu is in front of him?It is said that he is the eldest son of the mansion, but he is just a child who has lost his mother.Now that the new wife has entered the door, and she will give birth to a son for the master in the future, how can you speak?Thinking about it like this, I seemed to gain confidence in my heart, and the tone of my mouth became bad: "Master, don't embarrass the slave here. Today is the day when the master is very happy and the new wife is coming in. As the master and wife Son, if you don’t go to congratulate me, it’s not like brushing the face of the master. It will make the guests who came to congratulate you feel strange, thinking that you father and son are not in harmony. So please change your clothes quickly, and go to the front hall with the slave.” He said unexpectedly Before Jia Rong could speak, she stood up and even walked towards Jia Rong, wanting to reach out and pull him.

Seeing Wang Xing's behavior, Jia Rong suddenly laughed: "Wang Xing, let me ask you, who am I?"

Wang Xing was taken aback by Jia Rong's sudden question, paused for a moment, and then replied, "You are the son of the master, the master of the house."

"So you know. This means that you committed the crime knowingly." Jia Rong's face twisted suddenly, and he pulled out a whip with hooks from nowhere, raised his hand, and directly It hit Wang Xing.
