Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

——But seeing that Jia Rong was wearing a pine blue brocade robe, her figure was as slender as a green bamboo, and she had become the exquisite and beautiful features of her biological mother. Under the sunshine, she looked more and more beautiful. Facing such a mess, he couldn't help it. But there was no look of surprise on his face, and there was even a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth. Even holding a long soft whip in his hand could not destroy the gentle and jade-like temperament on his body.

If you don't know his character, just his appearance alone is a perfect interpretation of the eight words "a modest gentleman is as gentle as jade".

It's just a pity...

With the sound of the whip, everyone in the yard temporarily stopped their movements and looked at Jia Rong.But unfortunately, it's just a click.Then he resumed his movements.

For such a scene, Jia Rong had already expected it, and was not surprised at all. She just looked sideways at the big man standing not far away who was watching with cold eyes.His whole body can be regarded as the only clean place in this yard.

The corners of Jia Rong's mouth hooked up, Jia Rong's figure flashed strangely, the whip in his hand seemed to have eyes, and in a short while, it was already wrapped around the big man's neck, and he pulled it hard, and suddenly it sounded like killing a pig The voice resounded immediately.

"Well, hurry up and ask your subordinates to stop. Otherwise, your head will be separated from your body." As he spoke, he exerted force on his hands again.

Although the big man didn't know where such a person came from, but out of the instinct of fear, he immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone stop." There was a slight tremor in his tone.

It really makes sense to capture the thief first and capture the king.

Look, isn't this group of people obedient?

"Where did the little yellow-haired boy come from and dare to grab our boss, you give me... ah..." One of the big men roared angrily after seeing Jia Rong's action, and raised his fist towards Jia Rong. Rong rushed over there.He just took two steps, Jia Rong's whip was directly on his body, only to hear him wailing, covered his neck, stopped, and didn't dare to speak anymore, only using a pair of copper bells The same eyes looked at Jia Rong, with a touch of fear inside.

Jia Rong looked sideways at the big man with a clear red mark on his neck, and said, "I'm Jia Rong from Ningguo Mansion, and I'm also the head of the Jia clan. I don't know what happened to them? It actually caused you to make a fuss here?" He unhurriedly played with the ruby ​​at the end of the long whip.

The big man can tell that although Jia Rong is almost a head lower than him, he still has a harmless aura, but for some reason, when he looks at you, he just makes you feel chills from the bottom of his heart for no reason.Stretching out his hand to touch his neck, a burst of tingling pain spread all over his body. The big man immediately told the ins and outs of the matter without hiding anything.

While talking, the anger in the big man's heart gradually came up, he forgot what happened just now, looked at Jia Rong angrily and said: "Since you said that you are the patriarch of the Jia clan, then come here and take a picture of your conscience. Judgment?" Looking at Jia Zheng with distaste in his eyes, he continued, "He took my sister, should he be responsible? Married my sister? If you don't agree, I'm a straight-tempered person, no matter what? This matter If he dares not to take responsibility for the matter, I am not afraid of embarrassment here, I will definitely go to the Jingzhao Yamen to seek justice for my sister. Even if it comes to the Holy Spirit, I will definitely not give up."

Although Jia Rong already knew the cause and effect of the incident, she looked at Jia Zheng and asked, "Grandpa Zheng, is what he said true?"

Jia Zheng is the most face-saving person. Such a shameful and humiliating thing was brought up again and again. There were many maids and servants in the audience. He was already ashamed and didn't know what to do?Now I heard Jia Rong asking herself again, all the eyes in the audience were looking at me, and I could even clearly feel a lot of naked disdainful eyes.He was even more ashamed, if there was a crack in the ground now, he really wished he could get in right away.

"Second Grandpa Zheng, I want to ask you something. Could it be that Grandpa Zheng didn't want me to intervene because of my younger generation? But yes, such a shameful thing really cannot be said. If so, just I can ask my great-uncle and grandmother to come over and be fair. After all, she has the most right to speak." Jia Rong looked at Jia Zheng, who was silent with his head down, raised his eyebrows immediately, and said so.

After saying this, he wrapped the whip around his waist again, and started to walk away.

"Brother Rong, wait a minute..." Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Rong could not be allowed to leave now, otherwise, such a group of bandit-like people would not make a fuss, so she immediately called Jia Rong to stop.

Jia Rong didn't intend to leave just now, but now it's a rare time to watch a good show, so how could he just leave.So after hearing Mrs. Wang's words, she stopped her steps openly, turned around, and just stood there.

At this time, Mrs. Wang, after being confused and unreliable, finally calmed down, walked to Jia Zheng's side, and said in a cold voice, "Since Brother Rong asked you and you are unwilling to answer, then I will Finally qualified. Is this true?"

Although Jia Zheng still didn't say a word this time, he nodded invisibly.

"So it's true. I didn't expect Grandpa Zheng Er to still have such a state of mind at this age. It's really admirable!" Jia Rong whispered at the right time.

As soon as he said this, both Jia Zheng's and Mrs. Wang's expressions became even more ugly.

"Just admit it. Tomorrow morning, you will send a matchmaker to my house to propose a marriage, choose an auspicious day, and respectfully bring my sister into your house to be a straight-faced second wife. If you dare not come , it must be making troubles in your Rongguo Mansion." Although the big man said this to Jia Zheng, he glanced at Jia Rong and saw that he hadn't made any movement. He waved to those big men and said, "Brothers, let's go."

As soon as they walked, more than half of the people whizzed by, and the originally noisy courtyard fell silent for an instant, and it could even be said to be a little empty.All that was left was the boy lying on the ground whimpering endlessly, and the mess all over the yard.

"Grandpa Zheng, although you don't say that people are not romantic, but you have a grandson now, and you should have passed the age of romantic youth. You really don't know what to say if you don't love yourself and make such a thing. Okay? I don’t know what gossip will come out in the capital tomorrow? It’s really exciting! But this is all your family business. Originally, I came to help, and I should be thanked by you, but Seeing how busy you are here, Second Grandpa Zheng and Second Grandma Zheng are not in the mood to come and greet me right now. I am a bit more sensible here, so I won’t get involved. I’ll go back first.” Jia Rong looked sideways. Jia Lian said so.

However, although his tone was flat, anyone could hear the obvious irony in his words.

Jia Rong's words are definitely worthy of hatred.Not to mention that Jia Zheng's eyes stared at Jia Rong viciously, as if he was the cause of all the culprits.Well, in fact it is true.Mrs. Wang's face here is even more ugly and ugly, and she looks at Jia Rong with extremely unkind eyes.

Jia Rong herself doesn't have any feelings about this, she's just a clown, it's not worth noting at all.

Soon, he swaggered and left Rongguo Mansion.

"Go, take today's matter to the side of Fugui Street, find a teahouse that is less conspicuous, and send a clever boy who is more familiar..." As soon as he left the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Rong immediately turned to Zhiqiu. ordered said.

Although Jia Rong hadn't finished speaking, Zhiqiu already understood what it meant, Fushen responded: "Please rest assured, my servant, I will definitely do my best."

Regarding Zhiqiu's ability to handle affairs, Jia Rong was still very relieved, so she nodded immediately and stopped asking.

The next day, Jia Rong was going to visit Uncle Feng's house, and he had been away for a few days.It's time to visit my uncle too.

It is said that "people take tea to cool down", the Feng family has passed away for six or seven years, and the Feng family has not been close to the Ningguo Mansion since Jia Zhen's succession, and has even become estranged.However, the relationship with Jia Rong has never been broken.Even because Jia Rong had a good impression of this uncle, she would go over to ask for advice from time to time, so the relationship between Ningguo Mansion and Feng's family is far away.But the relationship between Jia Rong and Feng's family is closer than before.

By the way, there are still yesterday's incidents, and now there are already results.

Jia Zheng's romantic affairs that he had to talk about had already spread throughout the capital, and even in the early court today, there was a report from the imperial history, which participated in Jia Zheng's book.Although Jia Zheng's official rank is low and he doesn't need to go to court, but today's morning court, he had some "splendours" in the court hall.

The current Emperor Longqi laments that Jia Zheng has no character like his father Jia Daishan, but for Jia Daishan's sake, Emperor Longqi just issued an order to reprimand Jia Zheng and deduct his salary for three months , Grounded for a month, good for self-reflection.

Although Emperor Longqi only imposed a symbolic punishment for Jia Daishan's sake, which was not very heavy, but for Jia Zheng and other people who want face.Being reprimanded for being demoted by the emperor is more serious than directly bumping his official position.

After this incident, Jia Zheng was so ashamed that he didn't even step out of the door during the month of confinement, but that's all for later.

Along the way, listening to Jia Zheng's gossip, he soon arrived in front of Uncle Feng's house.

"Master Biao is here, and the master is already waiting for Master Biao in the study." The boy at the gatehouse immediately saluted Jia Rong when he saw Jia Rong, and said in a respectful tone.

Jia Rong nodded, turned her head to Guanyan and Ximo and said, "You two stay here."

Guan Yan and Xi Mo immediately responded respectfully, and immediately stopped their steps.

Jia Rong stepped into the study.

But I saw a man in his 30s sitting in front of the desk with a refined face and a small beard. He was Jia Rong's uncle Feng Zheng.

"I've seen uncle." Jia Rong immediately saluted.

Uncle Feng nodded and replied: "Brother Rong is here. Have you learned anything after being away for such a period of time? I'll test you here first." He opened his mouth and said a bunch of words.

The relationship between Jia Rong and Uncle Feng has always been the same. First, he was tested on his studies, and then he was asked some common words, and then he was asked to go over to say hello to his aunt.

Seeing him now is no exception. After Uncle Feng passed Jia Rong's exam, he nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, I have gained a lot from this trip. But don't be complacent, you need to work harder in the future. "

Jia Rong nodded, and responded respectfully: "Yes."

Afterwards, Uncle Feng picked up some more, for example: Is he doing well in the mansion?Have the gossip and rumors in Beijing been resolved, etc., and other common questions.

"Okay, I'm fine here. Go over and greet your aunt. She knows you're coming today, but she asked the kitchen to make your favorite snacks early, and she's waiting for you." Uncle Feng He said with a smile.

Uncle Feng's first wife is the Fang family, who is from Suzhou, and her family can be considered a prominent family in Suzhou, and her father is the fourth-rank magistrate of Suzhou.She was married to Uncle Feng for five or six years, but she had no children and had no children. She has always loved Jia Rong very much.Even after giving birth to her own child, her attitude towards Jia Rong has not changed.

That being the case, Jia Rong naturally respected this aunt very much.

She has two sons under her knees now, the eldest son, Feng Yuan, is only eight years old this year, and was sent to study in the Imperial College by Uncle Feng when he was last year old.The second son, Feng Hao, was just three years old, and it was the most lovable time.

Jia Rong answered yes.

Coming out of the study, Jia Rong walked towards the inner courtyard familiarly.

The maid waiting outside saw Jia Rong and immediately got up to salute, and raised the curtains one after another, and said loudly: "Madam, Master Biao is here."

When Jia Rongfang entered the room, before he could salute, a three-year-old Yuxue, a cute and chubby little boy, grabbed his hand and called out crisply, "Brother Rong." It was Uncle Feng's second son, Feng Hao. .

"It turned out to be Hao'er. I haven't seen you for a long time, and Hao'er has grown a lot taller. I miss my brother these days." Jia Rong picked up the chubby ball and said with a smile.

Feng Haomeng, who was held in Jia Rong's arms, nodded, with big eyes, and replied in a childlike voice: "Well, Hao'er misses Brother Rong. Where is Brother Rong? Hao'er is so long." I haven't seen Brother Rong in time."

"I went outside to buy something fun for Hao'er. Look, it's all at Zhiqiu's place. Go and see if you like it?" Jia Rong turned her head towards Zhiqiu's side and pouted her mouth, saying so. .

When Feng Hao saw the good things in Zhiqiu's hands, and the little noodle man he had been thinking about for a long time, his eyes lit up, he jumped out of Jia Rong's arms, and ran towards Zhiqiu.

Seeing that Feng Hao's eyes were already attracted by those things, Jia Rong bowed to the beautiful woman in her thirties who had been looking at them with loving eyes and laughed, "I've seen my aunt."

Fang covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Brother Rong, get up quickly. The whole family uses so much courtesy." Then he waved to Jia Rong, "Come to Auntie, let me have a good look."

After hearing her words, Jia Rong took a few steps forward and cupped her hands.

I looked up and down, and nodded again and again: "But I haven't seen you in half a year, and Brother Rong's stature has grown a lot. He is already an older child. If your mother can see you like this, I don't know how happy she is. Well. It's just a pity..." As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Jia Rong hastily said a few words of relief.

"By the way, Brother Rong, let's talk about this. I remember it. You are 14 years old now. It is already the age to talk about your marriage. Does your father have any rules about your marriage? And What happened to that girl from the Qin family that was rumored a while ago?" Fang asked again and again.

Jia Rong cupped her hands and said, "Aunt Rong, I came here today to talk about this matter."

En... He came to his uncle's house today, apart from returning from a long distance and paying his respects routinely, there was another matter like this.He is 14 years old today, and here is the right age to talk about kissing.He is the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion and the patriarch of the Jia clan, so it is impossible not to marry him.And he didn't intend to never get married for the rest of his life.It's just that he doesn't know much about the ladies in the capital. His marriage was originally arranged by Jia Zhen, the father, and Youshi, the stepmother.It's just that Jia Zhen has such a temper and is unreliable.If you count on him, you might pick someone to disturb the family.Not to mention Youshi's stepmother, let alone.

Therefore, he can only come to his uncle's house and ask them to take care of it.

Fang Shi is a smart person. Hearing Jia Rong's words and thinking about the situation in Ningguo Mansion, he understood it.He waved his hand first, and asked the little maids in the room to retreat, leaving only two confidant maids to serve in front of him. As for Feng Hao, he was coaxed and carried into the inner room by the maids.

"Brother Rong, do you want me to help you pay attention to your future wife?" Fang asked with a sigh in her heart.

After all, Jia Rong is a person who has lived a new life. When it comes to marriage, she is not shy or embarrassed. She nodded and said, "My aunt also knows about the situation in my family. My father has always been indifferent about this matter. I can't use it with my mother." So I can only ask my aunt to help me pay attention. My requirements here are not too high, I just ask the other party to be virtuous and able to manage the house, and the family population should be simple."

He never planned to marry the wife of a high-ranking lady. Marrying a wife of high status, although it can bring great benefits to his future.But the same will bring him infinite troubles.After all, here, family consciousness is put first.As for his future?He will fight for it by himself, without relying on a woman to be in charge.
