Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

"Mother, this is Sister Ying, the direct sister of the master's mother. Of these two boys, the taller one is the brother Rong I told you about, and the lower one is Brother Qiang." You Pointing to Jia Ying, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang one by one, he introduced it to Mrs. You.

The charming face of Mrs. You suddenly burst into a smile, and she said: "These three children are really well-born, just like the golden boy and jade girl under the seat of Guanyin. Come, this is a meeting gift for you. I just hope you don’t dislike it.” He took out three exquisitely embroidered purses from his sleeves, and handed them to Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and Jia Ying respectively according to the color of the designs on them.

Smelling the strong aroma of powder on the purse, Jia Rong frowned slightly, but she still reached out to take it, but her expression and tone were very cold, "Thank you, grandma." He gave it to Zhiwen behind him, and confessed, "It's easy to put it away."

Zhiwen responded respectfully.

Jia Qiang is the same.On the other hand, Jia Ying, because of her young age, was also spoiled by Jia Rong. She wrinkled her nose, fully expressing her dislike for the smell of cosmetics. She didn't reach out to pick up the purse in Mrs. You's hand, Looking at Ru Hua behind him, this Ru Hua is a few years older than Jia Ying. It can be said that Jia Ying has served by Jia Ying's side since she was born, and he knows her best, so he walked out and took the purse from Mrs. You's hand with both hands. , and then blessed the body to Mrs. You as a token of gratitude.

Regarding Jia Ying's situation, the smile on the corner of Mrs. You froze, but she was quite a scheming person, and soon recovered.

It's just that Mrs. You doesn't care here, it doesn't mean that other people are the same.Mrs. You's two daughters, the eldest daughter, the second sister You, was born with a submissive temperament, but she was fine.The second daughter, Third Sister You, was the most pungent. She felt that Jia Ying's behavior was humiliating them, and she looked down on them from the bottom of her heart. It can be regarded as your elder, the gift she gave you, don't say you have to take it with both hands to show respect, but at least you can't let a maid to pick it up. Could it be that your Jia family..."

As soon as she said this, Jia Rong's face sank immediately.

You Shi, who has always been paying attention to Jia Rong's expression, has a bad heart when he sees this. Brother Rong dotes on Jia Ying, the little aunt, the most. Even if the master said the last sentence on weekdays, he would not be happy.The three of them, mother and daughter, are such a trouble!

Immediately, he frowned, and before Third Sister You could finish speaking, she began to reprimand: "Sister Third, shut up. You don't even look at this place? Are you allowed to twist your temper and talk nonsense here. "

Mrs. You is a shrewd person. When she heard Youshi's words, she understood two points in her heart. Seeing Youshi's eyes sideways to Jia Rong, and seeing Jia Rong's face was a bit unkind, she also followed Youshi's few times. On the way home, I knew what kind of temperament Jia Rong was from her mouth.Immediately, he glared at Third Sister You, and said, "Sister Third, don't talk nonsense here."

Third Sister You was reprimanded by Youshi and Mrs. You, and she felt a little dissatisfied in her heart. She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, and was about to refute when she heard a cold voice.

"Being a person requires self-knowledge. When you are a guest at someone else's house, you'd better put away your little temper. If you really can't control it, you can go back to your own home and do whatever you want. I'm not here for you guys Playing with your temper." Jia Rong looked at the obviously unconvinced Third Sister You, and immediately said coldly.

In his territory, how could you be allowed to be arrogant here.Elder, she is the elder of my little aunt.The old lady of Rongguo Mansion who had a serious blood relationship with them, he still didn't even notice them, let alone them.

Listening to what Jia Rong said, Mrs. You wanted them to leave, inside and outside the words. First, she gave Third Sister You a hard look, and then said softly, "Brother Rong, don't mind. The third sister's temper It's just a little anxious, she didn't have any malicious intentions just now. Don't worry about her."

"I don't know if there is any malice, and I don't want to know. But mother, you have to be clear. We don't need an outsider to make irresponsible remarks here about the daughter of our Jia family. Since you are visiting someone else's house, you should have He looks like a guest. I don't welcome guests who are too high-minded." He said with a pair of dark eyes and looked at Third Sister You very much.

Third Sister You was so scared by Jia Rong's eyes that she didn't dare to say anything else.

Jia Rong already had a decision in her heart at this time, "Mother, I won't disturb your hospitality here. I still have something to do, so I will leave first."

"Mother, my son is also retiring here." Jia Qiang was already impatient with the three mothers and daughters of the You family, but his status was not as high as that of Jia Rong, so it was hard for him to say anything. Seeing that Jia Rong was leaving now, he He immediately got up and said.

Jia Ying naturally also got up, nodded and said: "Brother Rong, I want to go too." After speaking, she jumped off the chair and said to Youshi: "Sister-in-law, I have something to do here, so I'm leaving first."

In a blink of an eye, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, and Jia Ying were all gone.

Youshi was still smiling face, but he suddenly became cold, looked sideways at Third Sister You, and said unceremoniously: "Sister San, I know your temperament. But this is Ningguo The mansion is not your own family, let you do whatever you want. Sister Ying is the master's sister, the only girl in the mansion, the most honorable. Even I am gentle and kind to her, and I don't say anything serious. Dare to say, what kind of status are you, dare to hold the family tree in front of her."

Facing the two step-sisters who have no blood relationship with him, You's disliked from the bottom of his heart.If she had some affection for the gentle second sister You, she didn't have any affection for the third sister.He has an attractive face like a vixen, and his temperament is even more disgusting, and he doesn't even look at his identity, just holding it all day long, it's really disgusting to look at.

Third Sister You was unhappy when she heard You Shi say so impolitely, she twisted her face, and she was about to speak, but Mrs You, who is good at observing words and expressions, knows that You Shi's status is different now than when she was at home Hearing what Jia Rong said just now, she was also merciless, as if she wanted to drive them out immediately. Seeing Youshi's complexion was also ugly, and if the third sister spoke again, she meant to drive them back immediately, so she immediately glared. Glancing at Third Sister You, not letting her speak, she said to Youshi: "Elder Sister, you taught me the lesson. What Third Sister said just now was a bit too much. This child just complained for me, and didn't say anything. other meanings."

"Mother, let me tell you here. In this mansion, the person who can't be offended the most is Brother Rong. I'm not afraid to tell you. Just to make you laugh, in our Ningguo mansion, it's not me who is the master of the house." Xuxian's wife is not the serious head of the family like the master, but Brother Rong. Even the master dare not refute Brother Rong's intentions. If you don't want to be driven back by Brother Rong, you'd better let Third sister, restrain your temper and disposition." Youshi said so.

Listening to Youshi's words, Mrs. You didn't seem to be joking, so she responded immediately, and promised again and again that she would restrain Third Sister You in a good way.

"Okay, you must be already tired after coming this way. I'll let Yindie take you to rest first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after the lunch break." Seeing Mrs. You made a promise, You said to Mrs. You , she was still relieved, so she spoke.

Mrs. You nodded, and then left with Yindie.

On the other hand, Youshi, after they left, rubbed his forehead with some headaches, and murmured: "Did I do something wrong?" Maybe she shouldn't agree with Mrs. You and take them over.

On the other side, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and Jia Ying had just left the yard, and Jia Rong immediately said to Zhiwen, "Zhiwen, don't keep your purse. Keep the things in it for others to use." She didn't even look at what she was. identity?How dare you make a fuss here, if that's the case, then get the hell out of here.

Zhiwen knew that Jia Rong was tired of their mother and daughter, so he immediately replied yes.

Jia Ying immediately said to Ru Hua, "Ru Hua, you don't need to give me the things, I'll reward you."

Entering the painting, he immediately blessed the body with a smile, and thanked Jia Ying for the reward.Although the purse has never been opened, but she squeezed it just now, it is round, it seems to be in the shape of ingots, it should be just gold and silver nudes and other objects.Later, after it was confirmed that there were six golden nudes engraved with blessings, wealth and longevity, Ruhua couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous in his heart, and he was ashamed to use this kind of thing as a meeting gift for their girls.

Even if there is no money at home, things such as longevity locks should still be affordable, and they are better than this golden naked child.

Although Jia Qiang didn't speak, but judging from the expression on his face, she knew that the fate of this purse would not be much better.

"Brother Rong, because I didn't know that there would be guests coming in the mansion today. Therefore, I already made an appointment with Sister Yingchun and Sister Tanchun yesterday to appreciate poems and paintings, and I will go to the West Mansion later. At noon, you can sue me and my sister-in-law." Jia Ying felt a little annoyed at the thought of the three of you, mother and daughter, and frowned in displeasure, and said so.

Jia Rong nodded, "Well, since I already have an appointment with my second aunt and third aunt, I'll go to my mother's place and I'll talk about it." From his current point of view, the little aunt is naturally the third mother and daughter from Liyou's family. The farther away people are, the better, so as not to be spoiled by them.

Jia Ying got the picture of Jia Rong and quickly took her maid back.

Mother Fang had already received Jia Rong's signal, and knew that Jia Rong had something to tell her, so when Jia Ying left, she slowed down her pace.Walking at the end, now he blessed his body and called out: "Master."

Jia Rong looked at Fang's mother, and said, "Fang's mother, you have seen the situation just now. Outsiders came to the house, and you don't seem to be a peaceful person. You are my little aunt's nanny and a The old man in the mansion is usually the most prudent and careful, but take good care of my little aunt during this time, and don't let some irrelevant people go to disturb my little aunt."

Mother Fang knew who the irrelevant person Jia Rong was talking about. Mother Fang was a widow when she was young, and her child died as soon as it fell into grass. She herself also despises Mrs. You who looks flirtatious like that, so she immediately blessed Fushen and replied: "Yes, please don't worry, sir. This old slave will definitely take good care of the girl."

Only then did Jia Rong nodded in satisfaction, "Well, I don't have anything else to do here. Go and get busy."

"The old slave resigns." Mother Fang blessed her body and left.

Yindie brought You's mother and daughter to Zhuyuyuan, saluted and said: "Old lady, second girl, third girl, this is Zhuyuyuan, the yard arranged by my wife for you. These days, you Live here first. In addition, there are a few little maids who run errands in this yard. If you need anything, just tell them. And..."

"Do the three of us live here?" Before Yindie could finish speaking, Third Sister You frowned, interrupted her and asked.

When Yindie heard Third Sister You's question, she froze for a moment before replying: "Yes."

Third Sister You received Yindie's affirmative answer, and immediately said with some dissatisfaction: "This mansion is so big, isn't there a lot of spare yards? Why don't you pack two more? The three of us are squeezed into one yard." , It’s simply too outrageous. Ask someone to quickly pack up two more? I want to live in one by myself. I see the yard next to this side is good. I don’t want to pick it, so it’s just it?”

"Third Miss, this servant is really incapable of being the master, please don't embarrass the servant. Besides, the Zhuyu Garden is very big, even if the old lady, the second lady, and the third lady live together, it won't be crowded." Yindie said to Third Sister You was contemptuous again, but she still put on a troubled look on her face, and replied respectfully.

Third Sister You was about to say something when Second Sister You stopped her and said softly, "Yindie, Third Sister was joking just now. It's not the truth. I think this place is very good, don't bother me any more. You go down Get busy. We will let the servant girl call you again if something happens."

When Yindie heard Second Sister You say this, she didn't say anything more, and left after being blessed.

"Sister, what are you doing to stop me? We are guests in Ningguo Mansion. The eldest sister invited us here, and I didn't want to come here? What do you mean now? The little girl named Sister Ying said this to her mother earlier. I just said a few words, but the eldest sister refused. Now let the three of us huddle together in the same yard? She invited us here specially to show us how well she is doing? Or Saying that she married into a wealthy family, does she look down on us low-class family members?" Third Sister You said with a bit of resentment.

Second Sister You persuaded: "Sister, we are here as guests, guests can do whatever they want, and I think this place is very good. Besides, wouldn't it be good for the three of us, mother and daughter, to live together? We must be alone. The yard, how boring."

Third Sister You looked at Second Sister You angrily, "Mother, look at Second Sister, it's not about being funny, it's about saving face. You..."

"Third sister, please stop talking. This time, I think what the second sister said is right. This place is no better than our own home, we are here as guests. Everything is arranged by your elder sister, and I can't treat you badly." You The old lady sat down and said so.

Through the situation just now, she can see it clearly.My uncle didn't show up today, so it can be seen that he didn't take them into his heart at all. If he really paid attention to it, he would show up no matter how busy he was.Although the eldest sister is a decent wife in this mansion, she has not given birth to a son for four years after entering the house, and she has never even had a daughter. It is said that the son-in-law has a greedy and lustful temperament, so the eldest sister's status in the mansion is probably not good. Very stable.

"mother……"

Mrs. You raised her eyebrows, turned her expression cold, and said, "Mother, what mother? I'm telling you, you should calm down your own temper. You thought it was your eldest sister who was worried about us and invited us to come. After your father died, the immortal members of the You family, because I failed to give birth to a son for your father, and you two are not the blood of the You family, they missed the family property in the hands of our three mothers. If it weren't for your eldest sister to marry When they arrived at the Ningguo Mansion, they had some scruples in their hearts. We might have been kicked out long ago. The reason why I was able to come here is that I wrote to your eldest sister first, crying about our situation, and said a lot of good things. She just picked us up." After a pause, he continued, "Your eldest sister didn't crawl out of my stomach. You two don't shed blood from the You family. If your eldest sister is determined to leave us alone , all three of us are going to drink the Northwest Wind. Both of you, please remember well that this is Ningguo Mansion, a very wealthy family, and Sister Ying and Brother Rong are the most precious people. If you If you don’t like it, just hide in the future. If you offend them, do you want us to be kicked out of Ningguo Mansion?”

After hearing what Mrs. You said, Third Sister You still had an expression of displeasure at first, but was replaced by shock and disbelief, but although she accepted it in her heart, she still said stiffly: "Who cares, no It’s not like we can’t live here, who cares about this place, and it’s not like we don’t have a house.”

Both Old Lady You and Second Sister You knew Third Sister You's temperament very well, and knew that she was just being stubborn at this time.

Mrs. You sighed, "Third sister, I know you want to be strong-tempered. But the world is like this, we have to bow our heads. There is no male in our family. If we don't rely on your elder sister, we don't know that we will be punished in the future." What kind of bullying is it? You just feel wronged and wronged."

Third Sister You suddenly thought of the gloomy look in Finance's eyes, and her heart trembled, so she nodded.
