Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Before Jia Rong left the mansion, in order to prevent any unexpected incidents, although he had already listed the places he was going to Zhiwen Zhiqiu, but this plan could not keep up with the changes, and the itinerary he listed might not be all accurate. Yes, there can't be a messenger talisman like in the previous life.Sound can be transmitted thousands of miles away.

Therefore, when Jia Rong saw the person sent by Wushou, it was already the beginning of September and autumn.

Jia Rong's beautiful Danfeng eyes flashed a bit of sharpness, and she waved her hand and said, "Okay. I already know. You can go down first."

The person who came cupped his hands and retreated.

After the people withdrew, Jia Qiang immediately said in a loud voice: "Brother, since that's the case, let's go back quickly. The old lady of the West Mansion is a difficult one. Although I believe in Zhiqiu's ability, but after all Bad status. If she succeeds in this case, it's not a joke."

Jia Rong nodded: "You're right." Then she turned her head to Wu Ya and said, "Let someone pack up the things. I'll go back tomorrow morning."

Wu Ya immediately nodded his head in response, but did not mention the implementation in the past.

Jia Qiang noticed what Jia Rong said just now, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, "Brother..."

Jia Rong knew what Jia Qiang wanted to ask, and said, "I plan to go back by myself. As for you, go as we agreed before, and I will let Wu Ya follow you." It made people feel a little uneasy, but Jia Rong could tell that Jia Qiang actually didn't want to go back.After thinking about it, Jia Rong felt that it would be good for Jia Qiang to practice more outside.

boys!Just don't be too coddled.

When Jia Qiang heard Jia Rong's words, she knew that he already knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but blushed, "Brother, am I being too willful?"

"No, boy, you should be brave. It's very good of you." Jia Rong expressed her appreciation for Jia Qiang's thoughtfulness.

Jia Qiang is not a hypocritical person either. Hearing what Jia Rong said, she didn't say anything at the moment. If I go back with you, she also nodded and agreed.

Early the next morning, Jia Rong took Guan Yan with her, and after Jia Qiang saw him off, she boarded the boat back.

Standing on the deck, Jia Rong's face was full of coldness. His marriage, let alone Jia's mother's great-uncle and grandmother who lived next door, even Jia Zhen's own father, couldn't be counted.It seems that Jia's mother is living too comfortably now, and she is very leisurely, so she turned her brains on her own head again.Good, good, really good!

Since he is so free, after he returns, he will find more things for her to do.In this way, she won't have the leisure to worry about other people's affairs.

Qin family

When Qin Bangye's old wife saw Qin Bangye coming back, she immediately went up to greet him, and asked hurriedly, "Master, how is the situation now?"

"What else can I do? I don't know where it came from. Now it is said that there are noses and eyes. I went out today, and many colleagues came to congratulate me. But things are not what they think. Now Well, if this can't be done, then how will Keqing deal with herself in the future? I don't know which one is so wicked? It's such a gossip. "Qin Bangye thought of what he was doing today. In the yamen, those colleagues frowned with envious eyes and flattery, and said so.

When Qin Bangye's old wife heard Qin Bangye's words, her face was sad for a while, but then she didn't know what she thought of, but she had a happy look on her face, and said, "Master, although there are a lot of gossips now. But after all, there is no reality." What's more, we just took advantage of this shareholder style to achieve the marriage between Keqing and Brother Rong. Isn't it also a happy marriage?"

Qin Bangye sighed and said: "Ma'am, you can't think so easily. You don't know the situation. These words will only make the Ningguo Mansion think that we spread it like this on purpose, in order to spread the terrible news. Qing married into their mansion, climbing dragons and phoenixes. Let’s not talk about whether things can be accomplished? Just by looking at the current attitude of Ningguo Mansion, you already know that even if Keqing married into Ningguo Mansion in the future, I’m afraid it will be the same in the days to come. It's hard. What's more, the rumors are spreading all over the sky now. The Ningguo Mansion has no reason not to know, but they didn't even make a statement, obviously they didn't take Keqing seriously."

"Then, what should we do now? There's a lot of rumors going on now, if...then Keqing's life will be ruined?" Qin Bangye's old wife immediately panicked when she heard Qin Bangye's words. Said anxiously.

Qin Bangye was also frowning: "What else can I do? It seems that I can only have a free time, take a look at Ningguo Mansion, and ask them what they mean?"

"Well, master, you must make the decision for Keqing. I don't know which wicked person, God damn it, actually spread this matter, but it hurt my Keqing. If you let me know, I will forgive you Not her." Qin Bangye's old wife gritted her teeth and said.

Qin Bangye patted his old wife's hand, and said comfortingly, "Okay, don't worry about it. Things may not be as bad as we imagined. After I ask Ningguo Mansion's attitude, how about things?"

After hearing this, Qin Bangye's old wife nodded with a heavy heart, and she felt much better.

Then the facts also proved that when Qin Bangye's old wife knew that the cause and effect of this matter were all reported by Jiamu and Mrs. Wang, she made a big fuss in Rongguo Mansion with a tough attitude, which made Rongguo Mansion feel ashamed. The recent loss made many people in the capital see a big joke, which made Jia Lian's marriage difficult.

However, this all happened after Jia Rong came back, and I will not express it now.

Jia Lian's yard

While changing Jia Lian's clothes, Zhao'er asked, "Second Lord, do you really want to listen to the old lady, go to Dongfu?" Then her tone paused, her voice became much softer, and she continued: "Now the old lady Jun wants you to go to the East Mansion, saying that you are going to see Uncle Zhen? But to put it bluntly, it is not for Uncle Rong’s marriage. Second Lord, you have an agreement with Uncle Rong in Dongfu. I know, he is the one who holds grudges the most, and his heart is even more ruthless. If he comes back and knows that you also had a hand in this matter, he may not know what will happen then."

Jia Lian looked at Zhao'er sideways and said, "Grandmother has already said that she just went to Dongfu to see Brother Zhen who is sick!" As for the rest, he thought he didn't know.

"I'm afraid you won't believe it yourself if you say this. Nowadays, there is a lot of rumors about the marriage between Master Rong of the Dongfu and a girl from the Qin family. The old lady and the second wife originally called someone to ask Master Zhen to come over. It's just a coincidence that Uncle Zhen fell ill. That's why I asked you to go to Dongfu to inquire. Isn't it clear that I want to push you out? It's also due to the fact that you have been filial to the old lady in the past few years, but there is If something happened, should the old lady be eccentric or eccentric. Why don't you let Second Master Bao pass by." Zhao'er twitched the corner of her mouth and said in such a thoughtful way.

"Second brother Bao is still young, I'm more suitable than him." Although Jia Lian said so, his eyes turned darker unexpectedly.

Zhao'er is the best at observing words and expressions. Seeing this, she knew what she said just now. Jia Lian had heard what she said in her heart, and knew the truth that too much was too late, so she stopped saying it now, "Second Master, it's ready, you can go."

Jia Lian nodded, adjusted his cuffs for the last time, and walked out of the room.

The corner of Zhao'er's mouth twitched, and she followed immediately.

Caiyueju

"Auntie, Miss Zhiqiu who is next to the uncle is here." Yue'er opened the curtain and walked in, blessed Aunt Pei who was teasing her daughter, and said so.

Aunt Pei raised her head and said with a joyful smile, "Hurry up and ask Miss Zhiqiu to come in."

Speaking of why Aunt Pei is so polite to Zhiqiu.The matter still has to talk about the child in Aunt Pei's womb.In mid-June, Aunt Pei gave birth to a daughter prematurely.As early as when she was just pregnant, Aunt Pei's fetus was unstable, and later she was hit by Sister You, and she almost had a miscarriage. If it wasn't for Jia Rong's life-sustaining pill, it would have been Aunt Pei, let alone a child Whether I am alive or not is still a question.However, although she had the life-sustaining pill and saved the child, and in the days that followed, Aunt Pei was also nourished with ginseng and bird's nest every day, but she couldn't make up for it.

Aunt Pei herself has a slender and graceful figure, so she suffered a lot when giving birth.After struggling all day and night, she gave birth to a thin and thin daughter with a weak voice like a cat. After the imperial doctor diagnosed her, she also said that her congenital deficiency would be difficult to raise in the future.Aunt Pei, who woke up from a coma, saw such a daughter and listened to Yue'er's report, tears rolled down immediately.In my heart, I hated Third Sister You so much that I even hated You Shi.

The eldest sisters who were just born would fall ill within three or two days, taking medicine more than meals, and some of them even almost died.The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription, but the other medicinal materials on it are easy to say, only Tianshan snow lotus, but it is not easy to find.Although Jia Rong has them, but he is not in the mansion at the moment, his things, let alone Aunt Pei, a little aunt, even Jia Zhen dare not touch them.Aunt Pei almost despaired.It was Zhiqiu who boldly took it out.Aunt Pei thanked her again and again, and it is precisely because of this that Aunt Pei's attitude towards Zhiqiu is so polite now.

Zhiqiu opened the curtain and came in, blessed Fushen, and said, "Aunt Pei."

Aunt Pei laughed and said, "Miss Zhiqiu, you don't need to be so polite. Yue'er, hurry up and pour tea for Miss Zhiqiu."

"Aunt Pei, you are really annoying this servant. The servant came here this time at the order of my wife, and asked my aunt to go to the Yusheng Court." Knowing that Qiu was blessed, she did not change in any way because of Aunt Pei's kindness. , said in a respectful tone.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Pei knew what was the reason, she frowned and said, "But Master doesn't take medicine anymore?"

Zhiqiu nodded.I don't know if it's because of being sick for too long, but the master's temper is getting worse and worse, and he smashes bowls and things at every turn. I can give you a few words of advice.

Only then did Aunt Pei feel relieved, and said, "It's just a trivial matter. Why do you need to know that Miss Qiu will come here in person, and just send a little maid to come here."

"Today also happened to be the day when it was time to feel the pulse of the eldest girl, so the slaves came here." The reason why Zhiqiu dared to take Tianshan snow lotus from Jia Rong's pharmacy back then was not because of her kindness or sympathy.It should be because she knew that the reason why Aunt Pei was able to keep the child was because the uncle gave him a life extension pill.She also knew a thing or two about the preciousness of the life extension pill afterwards.Since the uncle is willing to give such a precious thing to Aunt Pei, it is just a Tianshan snow lotus, and if the uncle is at home, he will be willing to give it up.Not to mention, when Aunt Pei gave birth to a daughter, she would not be able to threaten the uncle's status at all. Even if she was educated and married in the future, it would also be a help to the uncle.With this daughter here, Aunt Pei can be better used by the uncle.

As for Aunt Pei's cleverness, she has also seen it before, so after all the above considerations, she secretly took Tianshan snow lotus from the uncle's pharmacy under the eyes of Mrs. Wu's disapproval.

Aunt Pei smiled gratefully when she heard Zhiqiu's words, "Miss Zhiqiu has been working hard these days, and I will come here to check the pulse of the eldest sister in two days." Now the eldest sister can change the emaciation when she was just born, His body is much stronger than before, thanks to Zhiqiu.

"It's just the duty of a servant girl, it's not hard work." Zhiqiu said in a calm tone with another blessing.

After these days of dealing with each other, Aunt Pei knew a little bit about Zhiqiu's temperament, so she just smiled and didn't say anything else.

After Zhiqiu had a pulse diagnosis, she confessed to Yue'er and Xing'er, and then Aunt Pei got up and went to Yusheng Courtyard with Zhiqiu.

After they left, Yue'er hugged the big red baby, carefully placed it in the shaker, and shook it gently.Looking at the child inside, slowly falling asleep, she couldn't help showing a smile, but her smile was a little weird no matter how you looked at it.

What a lovely child!When she grows up in the future, she will definitely be a great beauty.

Between Yue'er's slender fingers, she nodded lightly on the child's forehead. When she raised her hand inadvertently, some fine powder fell, just below the nose. With the baby's regular breathing, those powders were very Soon it was gone.

After another month of boring life on the boat, Jia Rong finally came back at the beginning of October, after seven months away from Beijing.

When he came back, he had already notified Ningguo Mansion long ago.

So after getting off the pier, Wang Xing, the big housekeeper, and Wu Qi led a group of servants and mothers-in-law to wait for a long time at the pier.

After getting down from the pier, he took a carriage and headed for Ningguo Mansion without any delay.

"Let's talk about the situation in the mansion first?" Jia Rong immediately asked Wu Qi who was sitting in the driver's seat after getting into the carriage.

Wu Qi clasped his fists and replied: "Back to the old man, three months ago, Mr. Qin Bangye, the camp doctor, came to see the old man once, as if he said that he and the old man had made a marriage contract for their children's relatives, and now his daughter is gone. At the age of marriage, come here and ask, is this marriage easy or not? The master refused at that time. Although Master Qin went back with a bad face, he never came back after that. But it was less than half a month I don't know where the rumors spread that 'you and the girl from the Qin family have made a marriage contract'. The subordinates immediately went to check and found that it was written by the old lady of the West Mansion and the second wife. Zhiqiu knew that the old lady of the West Mansion Doing this with the second wife will definitely cause trouble. In order to prevent them from getting hurt by the master, we can only temporarily let the master fall ill." The tone paused, and then said: "I didn't think that the next day the master fell ill, they So I came here and sent someone to invite the master, saying that there was something important to discuss. But because the master was ill, it couldn't be done. After a few days, I asked the second master Lian to come over to inquire about the news. But this second master Lian is a smart man..."" ... After returning home, I don't know what to say. The old lady and the second lady of the Xifu didn't let anyone come over again. I thought the matter had come to an end temporarily, but half a month later, it was reported that the Qin family The girl is unwilling to fulfill the marriage contract because of the uncle... You dislike the poor and love the rich, and the girl from the Qin family, Zhenlie... Now the people outside have a very bad opinion of the mansion, especially you. The old lady of the West Mansion took advantage of this time to return The elders of the joint clan want to take this opportunity to decide on the marriage between you and the girl of the Qin family. But before she can act, the eldest girl in the mansion suddenly fell ill. The imperial doctor saw it and said it was very possible It's smallpox, the mansion has become a place where everyone scrambles to avoid, and this matter has been shelved until now."

Jia Rong asked with some doubts: "Big girl? The daughter that Aunt Pei gave birth to?" The news that Aunt Pei gave birth to a daughter in mid-June has already been known to him through the people sent to look for him. .

"Yes." Indefinitely replied.

When Jia Rong heard the words, she stopped talking.

In this way, he arrived at the mansion very quickly.
