Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

The news that Jia Yuanchun was wet in the arms of the Seventh Prince Si Jingting, Jia Rong soon found out.

Putting down the book she was reading, Jia Rong played with an exquisite jade bead carved from suet jade, smiled slightly, and said with a bit of sarcasm in her tone: "It seems that the good news of Rongguo Mansion is coming soon. .”

After listening to the detailed process of Wu Ya's return, Jia Rong had to admire Jia Lian for his thoughtfulness.Although Jia Yuanchun was held in the arms of the Seventh Prince, no one else saw him except the members of the Jia family and the Seventh Prince.It can be said that as long as the mouths of the two families are blocked, outsiders will not know what happened today.

If the other party is not the prince, maybe we can discuss it.But obviously, the seventh prince still has a good impression of Jia Yuanchun, a beauty.On the spot, he took off the jade pendant around his waist and gave it to Mrs. Wang. When he got sick, he said that he would be responsible, and Najia Yuanchun entered the mansion as a side concubine.In two days, the official dispatched media will come to the door to finalize the matter.

No matter how unwilling Madam Wang disagreed with this, she could only answer dryly with a nod.If she forcibly disagreed, the Seventh Prince would definitely be upset.Although the Seventh Prince's power is weak and he is still just a bald prince, but if he publicizes this matter, then Jia Yuanchun's life will really be ruined.

"A good thing? From my subordinate's point of view, not necessarily. At this moment, Rongguo Mansion may also get the news. After hearing the news, the old lady of the West Mansion may have fainted just like that. It's unknown when the Second Wife of the West Mansion returns. I don't know how to mess around?" Wu Ya thought about the expression on Mrs. Wang's face he saw before he came, and said with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jia Rong cast a slanted glance at Wu Ya, and after a while, she said, "Chaos? No matter how messy it is, the outcome of the matter has been settled." Carefully cultivated by Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu, the most valuable member of the Jia family A flower, I'm afraid it will be destroyed.

Wu Yaqing knew that what she said just now was a bit beyond her identity, and now she heard what Jia Rong said, so she stopped talking.

Jia Rong didn't care about this, and said, "Okay. I don't have anything else to do here. You can go down and rest." After a slight pause, she continued: "When things are completely settled Before you come down, you should stop contacting the West Mansion."

"Yes."

With such a show, the Xifu side may not be able to stop in the past few days. This wonderful scene must be played one after another.If it wasn't for the bad relationship between him and the West Mansion, he really wanted to find an excuse to go to the West Mansion and see with his own eyes how chaotic the situation was.Oops, what a shame.Jia Rong put down the ornaments she was playing with, and thought of it regretfully.

The first person in the Rongguo Mansion to get the news was naturally Jia Lian, the planner and instigator.Zhao'er and Wu Ya came back almost the same, and Zhao'er was even one step ahead of Wu Ya, but when he came, Jia Lian was not in his yard, but was joking with Jia's mother in front of her. .

Therefore, when Jia Lian got the news, it was half an hour later than Jia Rong.

"Is it going to be done?" In fact, looking at Zhao'er's expression, Jia Lian already knew that the thing was probably done, but he didn't get any definite news, so he was still worried and asked a little anxiously.

Zhao'er nodded at first, then lowered her voice almost subconsciously, and replied, "Second Master, rest assured." Seeing that Jia Lian's brows were still full of suspicion, he said again: "The servant saw it with his own eyes. After that, I got up and came back."

A smile suddenly appeared on Jia Lian's face, and he looked at Zhao'er appreciatively, and immediately praised: "Okay, you did a good job! Good boy, it's not in vain for me to love you every day. At the critical moment, I really can use it. on."

Zhao'er bowed slightly, and said: "Second Lord taught us well on weekdays. Things went so smoothly, and God saw that Second Master had suffered too much these years, and loved you so much. This made things go smoothly and successfully. .”

"It's your mouth that can speak." Jia Lian obviously liked Zhao'er's words very much, and lightly tapped Zhao'er's head, saying so.

Zhao'er just chuckled.

After a while, Jia Lian said again: "Okay, you've worked hard today. Go down and rest. Remember, you just left the house today to run errands for me."

Zhao'er nodded immediately: "Second Master, don't worry, this slave knows what to do."

Only then did Jia Lian nod in satisfaction and reassurance, then turned around, picked up the things Zhao'er had bought for show, and went to Jia's mother again.

This matter is his meticulous masterpiece, in order for the eldest sister to marry the prince smoothly, I don't know how much thought he has spent.Now that there is a result, if he doesn't go and see it with his own eyes, wouldn't it be a waste of all his efforts?Besides, he is a filial person. After the grandmother finds out about this, she will be extremely happy. Why don't he accompany her to be happy together?

Seeing that Jia Lian had only left for half an hour, Jia's mother turned around again. When people are old, they like their children and grandchildren around their knees, and Jia's mother is no exception. Although she loves Jia Baoyu most on weekdays, she came to Jia Lian after this period of time. With no trace of favorability, his position in Jia's mother's heart is still not as good as Jia Baoyu's, but it is only behind him.At this time, Jia Baoyu went out with Mrs. Wang to fulfill his wish, but hadn't come back yet. Naturally, he was only happy to see Jia Lian coming.

He smiled and said, "You splashing monkey, why are you back again?"

Jia Lian showed a look of grievance on his face, "Grandmother, you don't welcome grandson here?" Then, he raised the things in his hand, and then said in a sad tone: "It's a good thing that grandson got something good here, baba Send it to grandma. Since grandma doesn't welcome grandson, grandson should just leave." Then he turned and was about to leave.

Jia's mother was very happy to be coaxed by Jia Lian's grievances. She tilted her head and smiled at Qingluan: "I said you are a monkey. You are really a monkey. Look at him, I haven't said anything here. What. He feels wronged here first."

Qingluan pursed her lips and smiled, and said in agreement: "That's what the old ancestor said."

"You big bag and small bag, what are you carrying?" Jiamu only noticed the things in Jia Lian's hands at this time, and asked with a smile.

Jia Lian seemed to have immediately forgotten the grievance just now, and immediately placed the things in her hand in front of Jiamu one by one with great interest.Some treasurers said: "Grandmother, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus shortbread I asked Zhaoer to buy for you today. Grandson remembers that you said last time that you liked this kind of sweet-scented osmanthus shortbread the most before you left the court, but the government The cooks here have never been to your liking, saying that they lack a little taste. Just a few days ago, there happened to be a sugar cake shop on the side of the East Street. The owner is from Jinling, and the craftsmanship is very good. It's not bad, among which the sweet-scented osmanthus shortbread is the most famous. My grandson asked Zhao'er to queue up early this morning. It's still hot. Grandmother, try it, but this taste?"

In fact, people like Jia's mother seldom eat outside food, but looking at Jia Lian's face of presenting treasures, and thinking about his unintentional words, he was running around, looking down and seeing the sweet-scented osmanthus shortbread Small and exquisite, even pleasing.I couldn't help stretching out my hand to pinch a piece, the tentacles were still warm, and I knew it was probably just out of the pot, I took a bite, nodded and said: "Not bad..."

Just when Jia Lian was about to ask a question.

Seeing a little girl named Yuanyang in emerald green clothes in front of Jiamu, she walked in in a hurry, and before Jiamu could reprimand, she said crisply: "Old ancestor, things are not good."

"What does it look like to be in a panic? What's wrong?" Mother Jia scolded.

Yuanyang replied: "The eldest girl was carried back by the servant girls in a coma."

When Jia Mu heard the news, she was shocked immediately, and the sweet-scented osmanthus shortbread in her hand fell to the ground, and asked repeatedly: "What? What happened?"

"The person who came to answer the question didn't say very clearly. He only said that the eldest girl fell into the water at Famen Temple." Yuanyang replied with her head bowed.

When Jia's mother heard it, it was not bad, but Yuan Chun was carefully raised by her according to the standards of a prince and concubine, and now is the time to sell, if something goes wrong now?That hurt her even more than when she gave Jia Rong such a large sum of money.Thinking again that Jia Yuanchun fell into the water, what happened to Baoyu?He couldn't sit still anymore, let Qingluan support him, and hurried to Jia Yuanchun's yard with the maid.

On the other hand, Jia Lian looked at the osmanthus shortbread with only two bites on the ground in a daze. After a long time, he spoke to the little maid and said, "Clean up this place. You should share this sweet-scented osmanthus shortbread too." When grandma comes back again, she has no intention of eating.

The little maid's tone revealed a bit of joy, and she answered in a low voice.

After Jia Lian gave some instructions, he followed him to Jia Yuanchun's yard.

Jia Yuanchun fell into the water, and now she is unconscious. Her yard is naturally in a mess. Rao, Mrs. Wang, who has always been calm, can't help but feel a little more flustered when she sees her daughter who has never woken up.

After finally being comforted, Mrs. Wang asked urgently: "Didn't you say that when you were on the way, someone sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor? Why haven't you come yet? What do you all eat? Why don't you hurry up?" Get someone to remind you again."

Jin Chuan immediately responded with a blessing, and walked away immediately.

Not long after, the imperial doctor also came over, checked the pulse, and said that Jia Yuanchun fell into the water because of his weakness, and couldn't bear the water for a while, so he passed out, and it was all right.

After hearing what the imperial physician said, Mrs. Wang put her worry into her stomach.The imperial physician prescribed two soothing prescriptions, took Xie Yin and went back.

The imperial physician was sent away here, and Mother Jia brought the maidservant over there.

"Where's Baoyu?" Mother Jia asked anxiously as soon as she saw Mrs. Wang.

"Mother, you don't have to worry. Baoyu is fine, he was just a little frightened. Now he has been fed with some shock soup, and let the servant girl hug him and coax him to sleep." Mrs. Wang knew that in Jiamu's heart , Jia Baoyu is the most important, so he immediately answered.

Mother Jia was relieved after hearing this, and asked about Jia Yuanchun's situation, and after getting the result that nothing happened, her heart was completely put back in her stomach.But since the two children were fine, Mother Jia also remembered to ask what happened, "What happened? Why did Yuanchun fall into the water?"

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard what Jia Mu said, she immediately waved her hand and told all the maids in the room to retreat, except for a few confidants.Then he looked at Jia Lian who was standing behind Jia's mother.

Jia Lian was also a good-natured person, his eyes flashed, and he was about to say something.Then I heard Jia's mother say with some displeasure: "Lian'er is not an outsider, even if something bad happens, he won't talk nonsense even if he hears it."

Only then did Madam Wang stop talking, and immediately told what happened from beginning to end.

In fact, this matter is also very simple.Speaking of this matter, in the final analysis, it was because of Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu is six years old now, just at the age of mischief, although when Mrs. Wang left, he was expressly forbidden to run around.But Jia Baoyu was obedient and willing to obey. At the beginning, Jia Yuanchun coaxed him, so he was willing to sit for a while longer, but after a while, he couldn't sit still.I heard from the maidservant that the lotus flowers in the lotus pond behind were blooming, so she clamored to go to enjoy the flowers.Jia Yuanchun couldn't hold him back, so he could only accompany him to see the lotus.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the lotus pond, there was already a young man standing there. He was about 20 years old, and his appearance was quite handsome. Not far behind him, there were several guards following him.

Although Jia Yuanchun didn't recognize him, but looking at the yellow belt around his waist, he knew that it must be the prince.Besides, earlier, the little monk in the temple also said that the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Prince's Concubine also came and rested in the yard next to them, so the young man in front of him was probably the lame Seventh Prince—— Si Jingting.

Originally, Jia Yuanchun wanted to withdraw quietly, but he didn't want Jia Baoyu to run over. Although Jia Yuanchun looked down on the Seventh Prince from the bottom of his heart, he could only go forward to greet him now.

Everyone has a love of beauty, especially the seventh prince, who was doomed from the very beginning and had no chance of being a great prince.And Jia Yuanchun is undoubtedly a beauty, so when the Seventh Prince saw Jia Yuanchun, his eyes lit up immediately.

Xingao is like Jia Yuanchun, naturally he looks down on the Seventh Prince, but Jia Baoyu lingers on the lotus, unwilling to leave, and the Seventh Prince asks the guards to help pick a few lotus in order to please the beauty.And Jia Yuanchun reluctantly dealt with the seventh prince for Jia Baoyu.

Who knew it was such a coincidence, Jia Yuanchun somehow slipped his foot and fell directly into the pool.At this time, the Seventh Prince who was with Jia Yuanchun naturally couldn't just watch the beauty fall, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull her.It's just that I didn't expect that the momentum was so great that even the Seventh Prince fell down.

The water in this lotus pond is not shallow, but there are many people around at this time, and the Seventh Prince also knows how to swim, so the two of them only suffered a little bit, and there is no danger to their lives.It's just that Jia Yuanchun, who has always been pampered, has never experienced such a thing. After being rescued, he fainted all of a sudden.The Seventh Prince naturally hugged Jia Yuanchun in his arms subconsciously.

This is the scene Mrs. Wang saw.

After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Jia's mother was really trembling with anger at this time, especially after hearing from Mrs. Wang that the Seventh Prince took off the jade pendant on his body and regarded it as a token. Concubine thing.Immediately, he couldn't help but slapped the armrest of the chair fiercely, and said angrily: "Stupid woman! What a stupid woman. How could Yuanchun have such a stupid mother like you? You..."

"Grandmother, don't be angry. It's useless for you to scold Second Aunt here. Why don't you call Father Second Uncle and Big Brother Zhu over to think of a way together? With a talent like Big Sister, Ruo Ruo If the Seventh Prince is allowed to be the side concubine, wouldn't it be a little bit of a grievance to the eldest sister?" Jia Lian frowned with a very worried and regretful look.

Listening to Jia Lian's words, Jia's mother patted the back of Jia Lian's hand in relief, "Lian'er thinks well."

Jia Lian lowered his head and lowered his brows to cover up the sarcasm flashing across his brows.
