Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

It was the dead of night.

"Is things going well?" Jia Rong looked up at the bright moon outside the window, with a half-smile expression on his face, and asked so.

Zhiqiu twitched his lips, and replied, "Don't worry, sir, things are progressing very smoothly. Well... Looking at this hour, the second master of Zheng should already have a soft pillow on the high bed in Wenrou Township. There must be a beautiful and An unforgettable night."

Jia Rong played with the mutton fat jade ball in her hand, and then asked: "Then who is the candidate? But agree with the request I said earlier?"

"Master, you can rest assured. I went to see the person I am looking for with my own eyes. It is definitely better than what you asked for. She comes from a clean background. The dowry is also rich, but the appearance is... um... a bit ordinary, and she lost her parents in the early years, and her brother loved her too much, which made her a bit too hot. So much so that she is now in her twenties, I haven't been out of the pavilion yet." Zhiqiu said with a smile.

Although Jia Rong didn't have the same trust in Wuji as Wuya, she didn't have any doubts about his ability to handle affairs. Hearing what Zhiqiu said, she was still worried about it, so she let it go and laughed. He said: "Speaking of which, Grandpa Zheng Er is not a womanizer, and now there are only two concubines who are concubines, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao, who are maidservants. Now that I have found such a marriage for him, it is really a bit of a bargain for him."

Knowing Qiufu, Fushen smiled and said, "Master is really kind. It's really hard work to worry about such small things."

When Jia Rong heard this, she just smiled.

He is naturally a kind-hearted man who is rare in a thousand years.Otherwise, where would the Rongguo Mansion be able to send them to the west with poison in the well, which is still jumping around now.Save them and keep them here, and they will either make trouble for him or come here to make trouble for him.

Mrs. Wang is in a good mood these days.Although a few days ago, because of Qin Bangye's wife making a fuss in the Rongguo Mansion, there were a lot of rumors outside, but it doesn't matter, these rumors are not aimed at her anyway.After Mrs. Qin Bangye made such a fuss, her mother-in-law, who had always been on her head, fell ill.

Mother Jia fell ill.

Mrs. Wang became more comfortable managing the mansion. Taking advantage of this time, she found a wrong place for the wife in charge of the big kitchen, Mr. Shi, and replaced her from the position of the wife in charge. When she came down, she was replaced by her own person, her house servant, Fifth Sister-in-Law.

Like the big kitchen, it is the most luscious place in the house.

The reason why Jia Mu's private house is so rich, it can be said that half of it was taken from the big kitchen when she was the housekeeper.

So this time, taking advantage of Jia Mu's illness, and seeing that a few days have passed, her condition is not getting better, and over the past few years, as Jia Rong has killed several confidant servants around her, she is in the mansion. The control is not as good as before.Therefore, seeing an opportunity, she naturally would not let it go.

And on the second day after her confidant fifth sister-in-law took over the big kitchen, she sent her 100 taels of silver.Talking about purchasing silver according to the government's offer, what is left over.

Mrs. Wang can draw 100 taels of silver out of it within two days of seeing each other, which amounts to more than 1000 taels in a month and more than 1 taels in a year.It's no wonder that when Jia's mother gave Jia Rong money, she took out 10 taels without blinking her eyes.

This old godly woman has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for decades, and her private money has also entered several 10 taels.

Thinking that she has taken over the big kitchen now, she will also be able to receive more than 1 extra private money every year in the future.She can really wake up from sleep with a smile.It's just that she didn't expect that people who laugh at others will always laugh at them.Her 100 taels of silver are not warm yet.Then another trouble came up, which shattered her good mood all at once.

Speaking of which, it is still necessary to talk about Jia Zheng and a few Qing guests, who went to Ting Lanjuli in Fugui Street to recite poems to make an argument.Generally things like this take a long time, so until she fell asleep, she didn't receive a report from the maid about Jia Zheng's return.She didn't take it to heart, after all, like today, it was not the first time Jia Zheng came back late at night.What's more, there were two times when he never came back at all.

So early in the morning, Jin Chuan and Yin Chuan came to report that the master hadn't returned yet. She just muttered a few words and didn't take it to heart.

I just don't want to, it's noon of the day.

"What are you doing in such a panic? There are no rules at all. How did I teach you on weekdays? Don't panic. What do you look like now?" Mrs. Wang looked flustered when she saw Yin Chuan beside her. The steps under his feet were a little unsteady, and he immediately reprimanded him.

Yin Chuan stabilized his expression, and said hurriedly: "Madam, it's not good. I don't know why, the master was tied up by some thick men and came back. Now there is a mess in the front yard. Master The wife is ill, the Elder Master is not at home, and the Second Master Lian can't stand it any longer, so we should hurry up and ask the wife to come over and take care of the overall situation."

"What? What happened?" Madam Wang immediately stood up when she heard Yin Chuan's words, and said in a loud voice.

Yin Chuan also said anxiously: "Your servants don't know either. I just heard from the servants at the door that a group of big men broke in without any explanation. Because they had the master in their hands, it was difficult for the servants to do anything. I have to ask someone to come over and report to my wife, and ask my wife to go over quickly."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyes jumped suddenly, and for some reason, she had a bad premonition.

She had no choice but to ask Yin Chuan to help her change her clothes, and hurried to the front yard.

When Mrs. Wang arrived at the front yard, the atmosphere was confrontational, and the scene became even more chaotic.Standing in the center with more than 20 thick and strong men, it is quite conspicuous, but what is more conspicuous is not this, but Jia Zheng, who is held in the hands of a burly man like a chicken, and his face is also bruised and purple. One piece, so exciting.

A sharp-eyed servant immediately yelled twice when he saw Mrs. Wang approaching.

Hearing that the person in charge came, those big men who were originally a bit fierce, stopped.They all looked towards Mrs. Wang.

Jia Lian, who was originally negotiating with the leading man, saw Mrs. Wang approaching, a gloating expression flashed across his face unconsciously, but it quickly disappeared and turned into an anxious expression. He hurried over and spoke. Said: "Auntie is here."

"What happened?" Mrs. Wang felt a little hairy when she was stared at by these big men.That bad premonition was even stronger, he held Yin Chuan's hand, barely stabilized his weak legs, and asked Jia Lian.

Jia Lian replied, "My nephew is also at a loss." He said that Brother Rong in Dongfu is the most penny-pinching person, and was united by his grandmother and second aunt to let those rumors go out, so that his reputation would be damaged. How could it be possible that he didn't make any moves after he came back in a hurry.It doesn't suit his style of conduct at all.The original path has already been arranged.Looking at Second Uncle's situation, one knew that he had to be beaten up.I'm afraid this will not go well.Although the mansion has withered a bit in recent years, its prestige is still there.This group of people looks really not a good match, and there must be a backer behind them, otherwise, how dare they break into the Rongguo Mansion?

On the other hand, when Jia Zheng saw Mrs. Wang approaching, a look of shame appeared on his face, and he unconsciously lowered his head.

"Are you the one who can be the master of the house here?" The big man in the lead asked immediately when he saw Jia Rong, who was in charge just now, bowing to a richly dressed woman and calling himself his nephew.

Although Mrs. Wang was born in the general family, she herself was raised pampered. After marrying into the Rongguo Mansion, she was also the second wife. It can be said that the biggest scene she has ever seen in her life is just the maids bickering.Now these more than 20 strong and strong men stood together, and the leader, whether it was his expression or words, was even more unkind. She took a step back uncontrollably, and said with a trembling voice: "I am from the mansion. The second wife of the family. I don’t know that this strong man has brought someone in, but why?” He glanced sideways at Jia Zheng, thinking that the matter probably happened to him, otherwise, he wouldn’t have done it. So being carried.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, the leading burly man moved his arm and said angrily, "I think this person is your husband-in-law? I won't talk nonsense with you here. Your husband-in-law is really disrespectful, Last night, he was drunk and in a mess in front of my restaurant. I kindly asked someone to prepare a room for him and keep him overnight. This guy is very good. He actually crawled into my sister's room at night and raped him. Tell her, what should we do with this matter?" He said, throwing Jia Zheng, who was carrying in his hand, in front of Mrs. Wang like a trash.

Hearing the leading man's words, the faces of all the young servants and maids present were surprised, and some even yelled a little, but no one cared about it at this time.

When Mrs. Wang heard what the leading man said, her eyes went dark, her legs went limp, and she almost fainted.If it wasn't for Yinchuan's sharp eyes to grab Mrs. Wang in time, she would definitely not be able to hold on and would collapse to the ground. "You, you, what are you talking about? How is this possible?" Her voice was still trembling at the beginning, but at the end it became a bit sharp.

When the leading man heard Mrs. Wang's words, this is the rhythm of not admitting it!Immediately, he became very angry, walked two steps quickly, kicked Jia Zheng who had just been lifted up by the maid, and said angrily: "Okay. Are you going to admit it? I can take my sister's innocence for granted." Is it okay to frame you? Not to mention this man, who is old, ugly, and incompetent. My sister is the same age. If he hadn't ruined her innocence, how could I have made my sister commit herself to someone like him. You guys still don’t want to admit it now. Well, it’s really good... Brothers, smash it for me, smash it hard.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the more than 20 big men who followed him, and they moved quickly, not for a while.The originally magnificent courtyard suddenly became dilapidated, and the boy who went forward to stop him was also knocked to the ground, lying on the ground screaming.

But these people didn't intend to stop at all, as if this movement seemed to activate the murderous factor in their bodies. In the end, there was nothing to smash in the yard, and several people rushed into the room, and then It was all kinds of screams and the sound of things being smashed.

Those who stayed in the yard even started to hold down the servants and beat them up.

Jia Lian didn't expect these people to be so unreasonable, and they would fight if they didn't agree with each other.Although he was still in the mood to watch a movie before, but now he is gone.Standing at the farthest distance, he confessed to Zhao'er behind him, "Zhao'er, hurry up, go through the back door, and ask Uncle Rong from the East Mansion to come with his guards."

Jia Rong's force value is well-known in the two prefectures. Because he has a cooperative relationship with Jia Rong, he was lucky enough to meet him once when he was in Ningguo Mansion.Although I don't know where Brother Rong learned that kung fu, but it is very good, and the usual five or six guards can't get close to him.The group of guards under him is even more powerful.Looking at the situation now, these big guys are all powerful, not to mention the girls and women in the mansion, this boy is probably not their opponent.Only by asking Brother Rong to bring the guard over can the crisis be resolved.

Otherwise, he suspects, if it goes on like this, the entire Rongguo Mansion may be lost.

After Zhao'er heard this, without any hesitation, she nodded immediately, said yes, and ran outside.

When Zhiqiu saw Zhao'er, he raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, "Zhao'er is here. It seems that the situation over there is as intense as the uncle expected. Second Master Lian Is this asking you to come and find the uncle to rescue the soldiers?"

"Sister Zhiqiu is right at all. The West Mansion is indeed in an uproar. It's the first time I've seen such an unreasonable and cruel person here. Second Master Lian couldn't control the situation. This Why don't you just order the servants to come here to ask the uncle for help?" Zhao'er gave Zhiqiu a thumbs up and said in admiration.

Zhiqiu raised his chin slightly, with a proud expression on his face: "Of course. This is planned by me alone, how could I not know it clearly. How is it? Is it perfect? ​​If it wasn't for the uncle So, don’t let me go to join in the fun, if there is trouble, I would have gone to the Rongguo Mansion to watch the fun. It’s a pity that I can’t witness my achievements.”

Zhaoer: ...

Jia Rong looked at Zhiqiu and Zhao'er who had been discussing over there, looked up at the time funnel clock placed on the side, put down the book in her hand, and stood up: "Okay, you two, don't stay here either. It’s almost time to talk. It’s time for us to pass. Otherwise, we won’t be able to catch up with the end of this year’s drama.” As he spoke, he shook the dust that didn’t exist on his body.

"Yes." Zhiqiu and Zhao'er immediately replied in unison.

At this time, the Rongguo Mansion was already in disarray.The originally good courtyard was completely ruined.There was a mess everywhere.

Jia Rong looked at Zhao'er who hadn't come back for a long time, and then looked sideways. Those burly men who became more and more addicted, and the second aunt even brought a maid, and hid in the corner of the wall tremblingly. Messy, and his expression screamed again and again.

This scene is really rare in a thousand years.

It's just such a scene, don't worry about it.Why did Zhao'er go for so long and not come back?Could it be that Brother Rong is unwilling to intervene to manage it?Shouldn't it?The reason why Zhao'er was sent there?It was also because he had a cooperation with Jia Rong, and he was the only one who knew about all the servants around him.Brother Rong should know what he means when he sees Zhao'er?But now...for such a romantic incident, it is not possible to report it to the officials, otherwise, the whole family will really lose face.He has now reached the age of marriage.The reputation of the mansion is not good in the first place, if something like this happens again, I am afraid that any better girl will not be willing to marry here.

And if the incident becomes irreversible, Brother Rong will take advantage of it...

Jia Lian was thinking wildly when he heard a "pop" from Pokong.

Hearing this voice, Jia Lian was overjoyed, knowing that it was Jia Rong.Then he turned his head to look at the past——
