Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

When Jia Rong returned to the capital, it was already a warm sunny day in May.

Jia Qiang was the only one who came to pick up Jia Rong.Hmm...Jia Zhen was infected with the cold some time ago, and she still hasn't recovered from it. She is still lying on the bed, so naturally she cannot come.As for You Shi, as Jia Zhen Mingmei's wife, she is naturally serving Jia Zhen now.

Jia Ying wanted to come with her, but because of the wind blowing some time ago, she coughed a bit. Although the weather is warm today, it's a little windy today. For the sake of her body, Jia Qiang didn't bring her out together. .

"Brother, you are finally back." Jia Qiang said with a big smile when she saw Jia Rong.

Jia Rong looked at Jia Qiang, who hadn't seen her in half a year, and her eyes became brighter and brighter. She looked up and down, nodded, and said with a smile, "Well, yes, I haven't seen her in half a year. She has grown a lot taller. The body also looks a lot stronger."

"Brother, it looks like he lost a lot of weight than when he left. But life in Jinling is not going well." Jia Qiang thought about the news of Jinling that Zhou Rui brought back after the year. The unstoppable movements in the other side made me feel tired for a while, and I frowned slightly, and said so.

Jia Rong smiled and said: "I don't like it? How could it be? I had a really good life in Jinling. The scenery there is first-class, rich and beautiful, and there are many beauties. Well. Maybe there is someone else who has a bad life, right?"

Hearing Jia Rong's words, Jia Qiang's brows that were still slightly frowned suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Brother, what you said is absolutely right. Ever since Zhou Rui came back, the Rongguo Mansion has been in a state of chaos. It was a mess. The old lady was sick, and she was still lying in bed. On the second day after the old lady was ill, Grandpa She and Grandpa Zheng came together for a few times, and it was very interesting. Uncle’s no. At that time, the sound of quarreling and scolding in the study could be heard outside the courtyard.” When Jia Qiang said this, the corner of Jia Qiang’s mouth twitched with a touch of Leng Xia, and she continued: “…so on the second day after they left During that time, my uncle fell ill. According to the doctor's diagnosis, my father was suffering from depression and a cold. He still hasn't recovered..."

To be honest, Jia Qiang really looked down on Jia Zhen. Although she was the head of the Ningguo Mansion and the patriarch of the Jia clan, she was really out of character.He will not talk about being greedy for flowers and lust, and his behavior is even more absurd and incompetent.If it wasn't for the fact that the Ningguo mansion had few descendants and his grandfather had only one son under his knees, he wouldn't have been able to take his turn as the patriarch of the Jia clan.It's just that as the patriarch, what he did was really not very dignified, it was just a decoration!Although Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are slightly higher in seniority than him.But thinking about Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's scolding of Jia Zhen on that day, what made him even more annoyed was that, facing such a situation, Jia Zhen just blindly smiled.That posture does not look like the head of a clan.

So, on the second day, he made his uncle sick.And spread the word to the imperial physician with great fanfare, and afterwards, people spread the word that Jia Zhen fell ill because of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's scolding.It discredited the Rongguo Mansion very much.

Jia Rong is smart, when she heard what Jia Qiang said, she only thought for a moment before she understood, a cold light appeared in her eyes, and she said, "Brother Qiang, you did a good job!" , and asked again: "How is your father's illness?"

Although he really looked down on Jia Zhen in his heart, but he was Jia Rong's biological father, and now he has become Jia Rong.Naturally, it is the responsibility to act on behalf of Jia Rong and act as the Son of Man.So as long as Jia Zhen doesn't cause trouble, he has always turned a blind eye to his behaviors of flirting with cats and dogs, lusting for sex, visiting brothels, and making love to Baohua Niang, and doesn't care about it.Anyway, he is just a dandy who is not motivated.

When Jia Qiang heard Jia Rong's question, she lowered her voice, and said, "Brother, don't worry, my father's illness is fine. As long as the healthy ones will take care of them for a while, they will be fine." Speaking of which, I can't help but Not to mention Aunt Pei.

He finally understood why her aunt who was born as a maid was favored by her elder brother.Really a smart woman.The measure of this strike is really just right.

Jia Rong nodded and said nothing more.

While speaking, he had already arrived at Ningguo Mansion.

After not coming back for more than half a year, when Jia Rong saw the vermilion lacquered gate, she still had a sense of intimacy.

The main gate of Ningguo Mansion will never be opened in normal times for non-imperial decree visits and non-marriage funerals.Their daily walks are also through the side door.

Since the Ningguo Mansion was rectified inside and out by Jia Rong, most of the original slaves in the mansion have been sold out.The ones who stay are naturally doing things with their tails clamped.Seeing Jia Rong getting off the carriage, he immediately bowed and said in a very respectful voice, "Master is back."

Jia Rong only nodded, and walked in side by side with Jia Qiang.

When Jia Rong came back, she naturally wanted to greet Jia Zhen first.

After all, this Jia Zhen was the father of his body no matter what, so it was only natural to pay his respects to him after returning from a long distance.What's more, now that Jia Zhen is still sick, as a son, he naturally wants to pay his respects and do his filial piety.

Yushengyuan

Although Jia Zhen was ill, she was actually fine.It's just that he has been sick for so many days, and he can't help being a little weak. In addition, Jia Qiang also confessed to the imperial physician here, deliberately asking him to make his illness a little serious.So although Jia Zhen was very bored, she didn't go out.It's just that he will mutter a few words, when he recovers from his illness, he must go out and relax.

But although Jia Zhen can't go out, his life in the mansion is not boring.

In his backyard, there are so many aunts and concubines, and all of them are beautiful women like flowers, with thin swallows and fat rings, they have everything that one expects.Not to mention Aunt Pei, who is not only charming and charming, but also has an empathetic temperament like a flower of interpretation.

Although You Shi felt a little uncomfortable with Jia Zhen calling those goblins in the backyard over every day, but there was nothing he could do, and he could only sulk every day.But fortunately, those concubines headed by Aunt Pei are still knowing and respectful, and they are respectful to her, and Yindie comforts her, which makes her feel better.

"Ma'am, the second master has already returned to pick up the uncle. He has already entered the second gate." A little maid picked up the curtain and walked in, blessed her body, and said so.

Hearing the servant girl's report, Youshi nodded, "Yes, I understand."

The little maid stepped back.

Youshi asked Yindie and said: "Yindie, let someone clean up the uncle's Qinghui garden, but is it already ready?"

Yindie blessed Fushen and said: "Madam, please don't worry. Uncle's yard has always been taken care of. Now that Uncle is back, it is naturally already done properly."

In fact, although the uncle has been away from home for many days, the yard is taken care of every day.Besides, although the uncle is not at home, Nanny Wu and Zhiwen, two useful confidantes, are there. With the two of them, they are naturally a little bit involved in the affairs of Qinghui Garden.However, as the uncle's stepmother, the wife will inevitably be criticized if she ignores her.

"That's good." Youshi put a four-leaf emerald green hairpin into the bun, then flicked the non-existent dust on his body, got up, and said, "Let's go to the side room and talk to the master." Last one. The uncle has been away from home for more than half a year, and now that he is back, he must be very happy."

Yindie replied yes.

It was only here that Youshi told Jia Zhen that Jia Rong had returned, and then heard a little maid come and report that the uncle and the second master are here.

Although Jia Zhen was a little afraid of Jia Rong from the bottom of her heart, she was her own son. He was over thirty now, and he was the only son under his knees. He hadn't seen him for more than half a year, so naturally she still missed him a little.Knowing that he was coming back today, I was looking forward to it in my heart. Now that I heard the maid's report, I immediately said happily: "Hurry up and invite the uncle and the second master to come in."

Then she gave instructions to Yingying Yanyan who was in the room, "Okay, except for Aunt Pei, everyone should go back."

Although Jia Zhen's concubine Tongfang felt a little bit reluctant, they didn't dare to refute.Then they all blessed themselves and answered.In a short while, the originally crowded room immediately became clean.

At this time, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang also came in.

As soon as she entered the room, Jia Rong's nose felt uncomfortable for a while. Thinking about what she had just seen at the door, she knew it in her heart. She walked to Jia Zhen's side, clasped her fists, saluted, and said in a loud voice: "My son greets his father."

Jia Zhen waved her hand and said: "There is no need to be so polite between us father and son. Get up quickly." Then she said to the maid: "What are you doing here? I haven't seen the uncle coming, why don't you hurry up and serve tea?" Come."

The maids responded immediately, and went down to not mention it.

Afterwards, Jia Rong invited You Shi to Ann again.

After the ceremony, Jia Zhen sat down and asked, "Brother Rong, did you go to Jinling this time, did you have a hard journey?"

"It's the son's duty to share his father's worries." Jia Rong replied in this way.

Jia Zhen nodded, then she didn't know what she thought of, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Brother Rong, I heard that you expelled the descendants of the seventh and eighth masters from the clan, but really of?"

Jia Rong nodded, and replied: "It's true. My son didn't want to do this at first. It's really that the clansmen in Jinling went too far. Especially the seventh and eighth houses, it's just that it's not good to discipline their children and grandchildren. It's up to you to fight." With the name of our family, they have done a lot of evil things, causing the people of Jinling to mention our Jia family, wishing they could smash it with rotten eggs. Not to mention that the two of them even corrupted the clan's sacrifice. Take Tian's future and use it for your own use. Just expelling them from the clan is already a light sentence for the sake of the same clan."

However, after being evicted by him, Qifang and Bafang lived in a very uneasy life, not to mention those who have always been pampered, without the protection of the clan, their family properties were also taken back.The poor life made them uncomfortable for a while, not to mention, since they knew for sure that the Jia clan no longer cared about them, those who had been bullied by them came to their door one after another, almost every day. troublesome people.

Within a month, the Seventh and Eighth Masters passed away one after another. When they died, they were wrapped in a thin coffin, and they could only be buried randomly on the hills outside the city.As for the others, they are just dandies who have nothing to produce, and now they have all been reduced to beggars in Jinling City.

When Jia Zhen saw Jia Rong say this, her tone was obviously dark, her heart trembled, and she didn't dare to ask any more.Had to turn to other topics.

Then he said some homely words, and Jia Rong got up and went back to his yard.

Back in his own Qinghui Garden, Jia Rong took a bath first, and then slept for a while. When he woke up, he heard Zhiwen come and report back: "Master, Mr. Zheng and Mr. She from the Rongguo Mansion are here. gone."

When Jia Rong heard the news, she smiled coldly, and said, "They move quickly." Then she asked Zhiwen and Zhiqiu to wait on her, changed her clothes, and walked over.
