Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Rongguofu

Seeing Mrs. Wang approaching with an unwavering face, Jia Mu said firmly, "Seeing your complexion is so bad, do you think you refused to come to Zhen'er?" The tone of affirmation shows that the result has already been known.

Mrs. Wang obviously thought of this, and said with some resentment: "But. What mother said is not bad at all. I thought Brother Zhen from the East Mansion was a good one, but I didn't expect that he would be a ignorant person now. Yes. Who is the Dongping County King? That is the second-rank County King, his direct sister, but a decent princess. Now I don’t think much of Rong, and I am willing to marry Princess Anhua into his family. He greeted him with joy and joy. He actually wanted to push it away.”

Thinking of Jia Lian and Jia Rong, whom she usually despises, but she is more capable than the other. First, Jia Lian married the daughter of King Fu's daughter, County Lord Lin'an, causing her current prestige in the mansion to drop. Everything is tied.The eldest daughter-in-law and niece who had been close to her before, also separated from her because of Zhu'er's early death.The elder brother got the sister-in-law's pillow problem, and wrote several times to reprimand her.Now, as the second wife, she is no different from the elder sister-in-law, only with an empty name.She had no choice but to seek refuge with Jiamu again.Furthermore, Jia Rong won the title of Chuan Lu at the age of 16. This was already enough to make her feel bad. Unexpectedly, the king of Dongping County actually fell in love with him again and wanted to marry his sister to him. he.

It was her Zhu'er back then, who was much better than Jia Rong, and she didn't have this blessing.He, Jia Rong, He De, He Neng, can actually be a county horse.

It's no wonder Mrs. Wang's eyes are turning red right now.In fact, there is a rule in this court that this son-in-law is not allowed to participate in politics, so although the status of the princess is noble, many nobles from aristocratic families do not want the son-in-law of the family to accept the princess as a son-in-law.Therefore, most of the sons-in-law of this dynasty are descendants of some families who have declined or are not very promising.

It was Mrs. Wang, who was proud of Jia Zhu at that time, and felt that her son was not worthy of a princess, but she just thought about it.If Jia Zhu really came back after marrying a princess, she might be the first one who doesn't want to.

But this princess is different.

Although his status is noble, this county horse is not limited to being an official. As long as he is capable and has the help of the Yue family, he is not afraid of losing his future in the future.When Jia Zhu married his wife earlier, Mrs. Wang didn't think about it.But Dongping County Prince's Mansion, Xining County Prince's Mansion, Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, and Beijing County Prince's Mansion have no daughters of the right age. As for the royal family and nobles, Madam Wang doesn't know any of them, so she can only give up. .Instead, let Jia Zhu marry Prince Teng's legitimate daughter.

Mother Jia said, "It's natural. Although Princess Anhua has a noble status, if Brother Rong doesn't have a marriage contract, Brother Zhen will naturally agree to come down happily. But Brother Rong has the same status as the eldest girl of the Gu family. There is a marriage contract. It is not uncommon for you to have seen Brother Rong's scheming methods. Brother Zhen can't be the master of Brother Rong, and this result is as it should be."

When Mrs. Wang heard Jia Mu's words, she was a little puzzled: "Since mother already knew that it would not be possible, why did you answer the question when the sixth prince and concubine came over that day? If it was not possible? You would have offended both the king of Dongping County and the sixth prince. What if they blame it?"

"It's just a promise to the sixth concubine, and I asked a question from it. What didn't I promise? Besides, the reason why the sixth concubine came to us was not to ask someone to ask in the Ningguo mansion directly. I just know that this marriage will be successful. It is unlikely. In order not to damage Princess Anhua’s reputation, she came to us quietly to ask. It’s done, of course thanks to us. If it doesn’t work, I won’t blame it.” His tone paused, and Jia Mother went on to say: "...Besides, I didn't intend to promote this marriage at all."

It's really a joke, if Jia Rong were to marry Princess Anhua, wouldn't his arrogance be even more arrogant.At that time, with the help of Dongping County King, although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that Brother Rong's talent was indeed good.In less than two years, Rongguo Mansion will completely become an appendage of Ningguo Mansion.

When Mrs. Wang heard Jia Mu's words, although she was happy in her heart, she asked in a puzzled manner: "Since my mother didn't plan at the beginning, why..."

Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang with a bit of resentment, cursing in her heart that she was so stupid that she couldn't even respond to such a simple thing. It's no wonder that Zheng'er would rather go to Sun's place than get close to her, "Sixth Prince The imperial concubine and the king of Dongping County have already expressed their intentions. We can't afford to offend any of these two families. Naturally, we can only push everything to the Dongfu. Even if we want to make trouble in the future, we will only focus on it. Going to the East Mansion? What does it have to do with us? After all, although we are of the same family, we are separated from each other, and the relationship is already far away."

Murder with a knife?

After hearing Jia Mu's words, Mrs. Wang also reacted, and couldn't help admiring in her heart, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy.Her thinking like this is really a bit vicious.

The king of Dongping County is willing to marry his own sister to Jia Rong. He doesn't appreciate it. He is already annoyed enough. When Jia's mother passes on the message, he will add fuel and jealousy. At that time, the king of Dongping County and the sixth prince will knock Jia Rong down. In the dust, absolutely no problem.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang suddenly became happy, looked at Jia Mu with admiration, and said, "After all, I still eat more salt and rice than me and other juniors. This method is very good."

Jia Mu looked sideways at Mrs. Wang and said, "Since you already understand, then when the Sixth Concubine comes over again, you should know how to reply."

Mrs. Wang nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, I will save myself. I won't let mother down." Naturally, she can say how serious it is.This Jia Rong was just trying to beat her, because he was selected as a Jinshi, and Baoyu, who was tired, was punished by the master.

She couldn't do anything about Jia Rong, this time, she used the hands of Dongping County King and the sixth prince to abolish him.

Mother Jia nodded dispensably.

Yin Chuan, who had been standing behind Mrs. Wang from the very beginning, was like a mandarin duck, standing there motionless like a wooden stake, as if she hadn't heard anything.It's just that the ears covered under the hair moved slightly, which made people know that they didn't hear nothing.

In May, in Yiningguo Mansion, a field of peonies bloomed brightly and warmly in the garden.When Jia Ying saw her, she became very interested. She personally wrote an invitation post and invited a few sisters who were good friends in the West Mansion, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Lin Daiyu who was in the Rongguo Mansion. Shi Xiangyun, the niece and granddaughter of her natal family, found out about this, and insisted on following Jia Baoyu, who came to join in the fun, to go over the house to enjoy the flowers.

In fact, both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were not happy for Jia Baoyu to come to the East Mansion.After all, during the apricot list in April, the news of Jia Rongzhong Jinshi came, which aroused Jia Zheng's longing for the eldest son, so he called the youngest son over to test his knowledge. Now Jia Baoyu has not even finished reading "Historical Records".

He was so angry that he couldn't help it, so he took out the red board and slapped Jia Baoyu's delicate buttocks twenty times.

We all know that Jia Baoyu is the lifeblood of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and when the servants beat him, he dare not be cruel.However, Jia Baoyu was pampered and spoiled since childhood, even if he didn't use his strength to get down the [-] boards, it almost cost Jia Baoyu half his life.After a month of recuperation, it's finally over.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang would not let him go to the den of tigers and wolves in the East Mansion.

But Jia Baoyu saw that his sisters were all going, so he was left alone at home.Naturally, they refused to obey, and cried and made noises, which made Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang nod their heads in agreement.But in the end I was worried, so I followed a group of girls and women, and even specially asked Jia Baoyu's nanny Li Mama to go with him, so as to protect Jia Baoyu for a while.

After breakfast, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun and others were surrounded by maids and women.Most of the families of the daughters who have not left the court mainly focus on tea, but in order not to spoil the fun, they also ordered people to take two jars of non-alcoholic fruit wine.

Although Jia Ying and Jia Yingchun had a good relationship, it was her who went to the West Mansion, and it was the first time for Jia Yingchun and the others to come here.Therefore, when they arrived, Jia Ying took them around for a while.At this time, the mansion has already started preparing for Jia Rong's marriage.It was cleaned and tidy from the inside to the outside, and flowers in full bloom were placed in many places.Such as rose, viburnum, brocade, hydrangea, gorse and so on.

Looking at a group of joy.

When Jia Baoyu passed a courtyard, his eyes lit up, he pointed his finger, and asked, "Where is that place? It looks so elegant, and it's different from other places? I think I can live here Yes, but he is also an elegant person."

Following Jia Baoyu's gaze, there was a big red lantern hanging on the gate, with the word '囍' written on it.It can be seen from the entrance that the five rooms of the main entrance have mud loach ridges on the top, and the door rails and windows are all finely carved with new patterns, without vermilion powder coating. The walls of the same color are milled with water, only the five rooms of the main entrance are visible, and the white stone steps below are chiseled into the pattern of passionflower flowers. .Looking left and right, you can see the snow-white powder wall, and the tiger-skin stone below it is textured, which is not gorgeous and clichéd, so I like it.

Looking forward, you can vaguely see white stone caves, vertically and horizontally arched, mottled with dark green moss, or shaded by vines, and pebbles are slightly exposed.

When everyone saw this place, their eyes lit up, and Shi Xiangyun, who was quick to speak, said, "It's really like what the second brother said, so elegant, let me lead you there, and find out." to pass.

When Jia Ying saw it, she hurriedly shouted, "Sister Yun, stay here."

Shi Xiangyun turned his head in confusion, looked at Jia Ying, and said with a smile: "Sister Ying, don't tell me. This courtyard is a forbidden area in the mansion, so you can't go there."

"Not at all."

Jia Ying finished speaking, and Jia Baoyu said anxiously, "Since it's not, why wait here. Why don't you go in and have a look together, it's the right thing to do." As he spoke, he took Shi Xiangyun's arm, I'm going to go inside.

Seeing this, Jia Ying immediately said, "Sister Yun, Second Brother Bao can't go." Seeing that the two stopped, she hurriedly explained: "You don't know something. The name of this place is Qinghui Garden. It’s the residence of my ineffective nephew, Rong’er. He’s a bit weird and has a big temper. He likes to be clean, and he’s not allowed to go in if he’s an idler. I hope you two will be considerate.”

This Shi Xiangyun is straightforward, cheerful, and very mischievous.Needless to say, Jia Baoyu was so spoiled by his uncle and grandma.She was really afraid that she would be slow in explaining for a while, and the two rushed in so recklessly, if Rong'er found out.Whoever you are, you're bound to get angry again.

She invited her sisters to enjoy the flowers today, not to cause trouble.

"Ah! It turns out that this is the residence of my eldest nephew. No wonder it is different from the other places." Hearing that this is the place where Jia Rong lives, from Mrs. Wang and some bad-mouthed maids, I heard too much about Jia Rong's violent things. In fact, because of Jia Rong, he himself had been reprimanded by Jia Zheng many times, and some time ago, he was reprimanded again. He already had a shadow of Jia Rong in his heart.So upon hearing Jia Ying's words, Jia Baoyu almost subconsciously took a step back, with some trills in his voice.

Shi Xiangyun also listened to Jia Rong's deeds a little bit, but what she heard was limited, and she had never actually seen it, so she didn't have much fear of Jia Rong.I still don't give up in my heart, "Sister Ying, it's just a yard." He smiled, with a teasing tone in his tone, "I still don't believe that Brother Rong is so stingy. He went in and took a look for me. One whip can't be pulled out."

Hearing Shi Xiangyun's words, Jia Ying couldn't help the black line, don't say it, this is really possible.

It's just that Jia Ying hesitated a little here, Shi Xiangyun rolled his eyes, and trotted towards the yard.

"Sister Yun, it's really impossible."

It's just that before Shi Xiangyun entered the far gate, he saw a beautiful maid come out from nowhere, stretched out her hand, and grabbed Shi Xiangyun. Because of the force, Shi Xiangyun staggered and nearly fell.After stabilizing his figure, there was a bit of anger on his face, "You servant girl are so courageous, you dare to block my way."

Zhiqiu looked at Shi Xiangyun, who was the first to sue, and almost laughed angrily, but he said: "Your servant Zhiqiu is the servant girl in front of the master. I don't know if Miss Shi came in and asked the master for something?" Miss Ying today She wanted to invite her good sisters to enjoy the flowers together, so she knew about it, so she glanced at it immediately and guessed about what happened.

As soon as Jia Ying saw Zhiqiu coming out, she breathed a sigh of relief, then hurried over and said, "It's Zhiqiu, it's not a big deal, it's just that when Sister Yun passed by here, she looked at Brother Rong's yard. Qingya, I want to go and have a look."

Not bad at all from what I guessed.

Zhiqiu said: "Miss, don't blame your servants for offending your distinguished guests. But you also know this uncle's temper. Others in his yard have improved. What's more, Miss Smith is the daughter of a family who has not left the court. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to just enter the yard of the foreigner with such a big thorn. Please also invite the eldest girl Haihan." Said, bowed to Jia Ying and Shi Xiangyun respectively.

Shi Xiangyun was ashamed by Zhiqiu's words, and wanted to get angry, but Zhiqiu was so polite and did it for you, so she could only keep her anger in her heart.

At this time, Jia Baoyu also came to him, stretched out his hand to hold Shi Xiangyun and said, "Sister Yun, don't make trouble. What this sister said is very true. It is a bit inappropriate to break into other people's yard like this without their consent." good."

In fact, Shi Xiangyun knew that what he did was wrong after saying this, but he was still a little stubborn when he was about to say something.Tanchun also came over, pulled Shi Xiangyun and said, "Okay, sister Yun, I know you have a straightforward temper, but what the second brother said is right, it's a bit inappropriate to enter other people's yards for no reason. I think, It's almost time. Why don't you go back to Huifang Garden, enjoy the flowers and drink, and rejoice at us. Why bother to be bored here."

Hearing what Jia Tanchun said, Yingchun and Lin Daiyu hurried over to try to persuade them, and the servant girls who followed them also surrounded them.

Zhiqiu moved her fingers slightly when no one was paying attention.

After the group of people left, Zhiqiu stood at the door with a strange expression on his face.

It’s true that there is a way to heaven if you don’t go, and there is no way to hell if you break in.
