Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

Jia Rong still wanted to speak, but Jia Qiang secretly gave him a wink, interrupted what he was about to say, and said with a smile: "Then thank you very much, Uncle Bao. It's just that we can't live in vain, Uncle Bao, tell me a price." , even if Ronger and I rent it, how about it?"

Baoyu smiled slightly, and in the blink of an eye, an idea came up. "The rent is not necessary. It's just that if I need you to do something in the future, you just don't refuse."

Jia Qiang quickly assured: "Uncle Bao, don't worry, as long as it's something you tell me, Rong'er and I will go through fire and water, and we will do whatever we want."

Baoyu nodded, "I'll send someone to send you to Zhuangzi tomorrow, so you can know your way and see the environment. But you have to understand that some things can only be hidden for a while, but not forever. It’s not too late to plan ahead.”

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang couldn't understand what Baoyu was referring to for a moment, but saw him holding a piece of yuba with a smile and slowly tasting it. When they came to the mouth to ask questions, they swallowed them all again for some reason.

The moon and stars are thin, and the mist is blurred.

In a house not far from Ningguo Mansion, candles were flickering.

From within the heavy curtains, there could be faint bursts of blood-thumping crashing sounds, occasionally mixed with one or two suppressed groans.

After a long time, the commotion slowly subsided.

Jia Qiang embraced the sleepy Jia Rong, and gently pulled up the quilt to cover his cool shoulders.

Kissing him lightly on the forehead, Jia Qiang couldn't help but sigh.

After Rong's daughter-in-law died of illness, her uncle Jia Zhen became more and more disfigured.Gathered people to gamble in the Ningguo Mansion, raised a playboy, made a fan, and spent a lot of time and wine.These days, he even got mixed up with the two sisters of the You family.

Now in this capital, who doesn't know that Ningguo Mansion is notorious?What's more, they said that the Ningguo Mansion was clean except for the two stone lions in front of the gate, maybe even the cats and dogs were not clean.

Such a dirty reputation, if the higher-ups blamed it, how would they bear it?

Although Jia Qiang is not extremely intelligent, she also sees an infinite crisis from it.

It's a pity that others speak lightly, and there is no way to influence the overall situation.Originally, he planned to take Jia Rong away from the East Mansion, so as to protect himself wisely.But after hearing Baoyu's words, he felt that it was not enough to do this alone.

His Majesty Baoyu personally issued an order to enter the palace to compile a collection of poems, and the news was naturally well-informed.

What he said today to prepare for a rainy day must have meant something.

It's a pity that the time is not up, and he refuses to say it clearly.

Staring down at Jia Rong's fair face, Jia Qiang secretly complained about her incompetence.Knowing that there will be stormy waves coming soon, but he is stuck in the situation, helpless.

Rubbing her forehead, Jia Qiang made a painful decision and decided to follow Baoyu's footsteps.

That Uncle Bao is not as harmless as he appears.To be able to earn a family business under the eyes of the old lady, this is not something that can be obtained by luck alone.

In order to protect the most important person in him, what's the point of laying his wealth and life on Baoyu?

Thinking about the original Jia Huan, he was just a role to be bullied by others, but now he is able to participate in the poetry meeting of the Prince of Beijing, this is not an honor that ordinary people can enjoy.

Hugging Jia Rong's waist tightly, Jia Qiang smiled gently, "Rong'er, for you, what's the point of me taking this bet?"

............................................................................................................

When Jia Huan came out of Zuixian Tower, he followed Baoyu closely.

Until he returned to the Rongguo Mansion, he still had no intention of leaving.

Baoyu smiled, "What's the matter?"

Jia Huan nodded heavily.

Baoyu stroked his hair and led him directly back to Zhongzhong.

Magnificent and exquisite.The courtyard is surrounded by powder walls, green willows hang around, three gatehouses with hanging flowers, and verandahs on all sides.Although the weather has not yet fully warmed up, there are already countless hardy flowers blooming in the courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, the corridors are intertwined, decorated with mountains and rocks, and the backyard is full of roses and a pool of water.

In terms of luxury, it is also second to none in the Grand View Garden.Although it was not the first time for Jia Huan to come here, he was still full of praise along the way.

Leading Jia Huan to sit down, Baoyu laughed and said, "In the final analysis, this garden was built for the concubine. We can live in it for a while, but after three to five years, we will all have to move out."

Jia Huan was taken aback, "Why?"

Baoyu explained: "The girls are not young anymore, and they will definitely get married in a few years. When the girls are gone, what's the point of living with me as an old man?"

Jia Huan sighed: "Yes, the second elder brother will marry a wife at that time, so he can't marry a wife and live in the garden."

Baoyu was stunned, but he didn't expect Jia Huan to think of this aspect.Although he had made a decision in his heart, he couldn't speak to Jia Huan, so he could only keep silent for now.

Jia Huan didn't notice Baoyu's strange expression, he sighed and said: "Why do people want to get married? Rong'er married a daughter-in-law, but is he so interesting? The daughter-in-law is not his own, and it is difficult to be with Qiang'er. Heavy. Why can’t people live according to their wishes?”

Baoyu didn't expect Jia Huan to elevate the matter of marriage to the realm of philosophy.A little funny said: "You are mediocre. Don't say that Rong'er has Brother Zhen above him, he can't be the master. Even if he really becomes the head of the Ningguo Mansion, there are many things beyond his control. Don't talk about it in the world. It's us common people, even the emperor, don't we often have to compromise?"

Jia Huan looked up at Baoyu: "Second brother, shall we also get married in the future?"

Baoyu patted him on the shoulder, "That depends on how Lord Jingyang treats you. If one day he marries a wife and has children, will you still be entangled with him?"

Jia Huan shook his head and sighed: "I don't know. I didn't think so much at first, but after hearing the dilemma between Rong'er and Qiang'er today, I realized that many things can't be done as I thought. How is it?"

Baoyu saw that Jia Huan was getting more and more depressed, so he had to interrupt him: "Okay, Huan'er, it's getting late, let's sleep with my second brother today, okay?"

Jia Huan nodded listlessly, as if unable to cheer up.

Baoyu talked badly, and then he persuaded him.

Early the next morning, Baoyu took Jia Huan out of the garden.

After a night's rest, Jia Huan forgot all his troubles and returned to his usual smiling face.

Baoyu was very pleased.If a man complains about himself because of a trivial matter, he is really a failure.

Seeing that Jia Huan had regained his spirits, Baoyu planned to take him out to exercise first, and then go to greet Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, he saw a figure leaving in a hurry in the distance, his body seemed to be covered with filth.

Jia Huan said in amazement: "That figure seems to be Jia Rui."
