[Red Mansion] The Wife of Powerful Officials
Chapter 16
For no reason, Jia Zheng felt his heart skip a beat, and he couldn't even move his legs.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason why He Shen was so fierce.
I'm afraid it's an illusion, right?
Jia Zheng thought about it, so he started to walk faster, and reached He Shen's side in two or three steps.
"Brother Zhi Zhai!" Jia Zheng called out in a low voice, polite yet friendly.
Only then did He Shen turn his head and look directly at Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng's heart skipped a beat, he could no longer ignore what was wrong with He Shen.
He Shen is not easy to get close to.
Everyone knows this well.
Although He Shilang usually smiles at everyone, it is only seemingly gentle.This Heshilang, at a young age, can be appreciated by the present, and he sat in a position that took others more than ten or twenty years to sit in.
Who dares to joke with him?
At the beginning, Jia Zheng looked down on him, but later on he gradually admired him, and later on, he inevitably felt a little awe.
Seeing He Shen's sharp features and fierce aura now, Jia Zheng couldn't even smile.
"Why don't you go in and talk first?" Jia Zheng thought about it in his heart, then smiled.
"En." He Shen replied lightly, but his posture was still not relaxed.
The more Jia Zheng saw him like this, the more uncertain he felt.
"Please." Jia Zheng forcibly suppressed his uneasy mood, and invited He Shen to enter through the gate and went straight into his yard.
Jia Zheng's complexion didn't look relaxed, so all the servants and maids were silent along the way.
For a while, the atmosphere in Jia Zhengyuan was a little scary.
The maids have long been used to He Shen's visits, and they are really impressed by this young master.
Without him.
Young and handsome, he was also an official in the same dynasty as the second master.
What girl wouldn't feel excited when she saw her?
But today, they didn't even dare to take a second look, and all of them stopped thinking about approaching.
After tea time, they retreated one after another.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant.
Jia Zheng had already figured out that there was some short-sighted person in the Rongguo Mansion who bumped into He Shen...
He was about to speak.
But a young man came outside the door.
Jia Zheng recognized at a glance that it was Baoyu's constant servant.
"What is it like to be in a panic?" Jia Zheng always had a good face, and he hated people who broke the rules outside.
Now in front of He Shen, Jia Zheng naturally felt even more humiliated.
But the young man was not afraid of Jia Zheng, instead he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Second Master Bao is ill again, the old lady went to see him, and the wife also went. I said I would invite you to go too."
As the boy spoke, he glanced at He Shen quietly.
He Shen twitched the corner of his mouth, and his face became even more cold.
It really is the same thing as the master.
Jia Baoyu didn't know what rules were, so everyone under his command learned them too.
"Didn't he get sick a few days ago? The doctor just went to see him. Didn't you see that I was entertaining guests?" Jia Zheng said displeased.
Jia Zheng naturally felt sorry for Baoyu's son, after all, the Rongguo Mansion did not have many heirs.
But more importantly at this time, don't let He Shen see the joke.
The boy was sweating profusely, faltering and fumbling as he wanted to speak but dared not.Obviously Jia Zheng could not be invited to go, and he could not explain to Jia Mu.
He Shen took the boy's expression into his eyes, and said lightly: "But the second master's son is sick?"
"Yes……"
He Shen twirled his fingers around the outside of the teacup, and said in a cold tone, "Is Master Ling often sick?"
Jia Zheng didn't speak.
The young man nodded in embarrassment, but then said: "Second Master Bao has jade body protection, it's good, it's good."
He Shen shook his head, and there was a cold light in his eyes: "I'm afraid it's not very good."
Jia Zheng's face was a little ugly: "What's wrong?"
"I heard that Baoyu was born with jade in his mouth, and he is very beautiful."
Jia Zheng's skin turned red.After all, He Shen has long known that Baoyu is not motivated...
"That jade is not something that contains spiritual energy, it is right to say that it is a monster."
Jia Zheng was startled, a tendon twitched on his forehead, he didn't understand why He Shen said that suddenly, and what he said was purely unlucky.
In Rongguo Mansion, who bumped into him?
"Don't Yuanwailang think so?" He Shen turned his head to look at him, "Master Ling grew up in the inner room, and spent all day hanging out with female relatives. If he didn't fulfill his wish at all, he would be bedridden and go crazy. What's the fight? It’s just that piece of jade? If it’s some fairy artifact, how can it make people so stubborn and shameless! In my opinion, it’s just a monster!”
Jia Zheng's chest heaved and his face was livid, but his throat was choked and he couldn't speak.
Has anyone ever said Baoyu so mercilessly?
Although Jia Zheng didn't like Baoyu's naughtiness, in the end they were all his children.Moreover, Jia Zheng was born with a jade title since he was a child, and Jia Zheng, like the rest of the Rongguo Mansion, was looking forward to Baoyu's great achievements in the future.
Where... where can others accuse like this?
Jia Zheng wanted to reprimand him angrily, wanting to turn his back on him.
But precisely because of He Shen's words, every sentence hurt people, Jia Zheng didn't know where to start to refute.
At this moment, He Shen stood up.
There was only a "bang", and the small teacup in his palm had already been crushed to pieces.
Not to mention Jia Zheng, all the servants in the room were terrified, and the servant even knelt down on his knees.
"He, He Shilang, what do you mean?" Jia Zheng tried his best to speak out.
Now that He Shen has already called him "Yuanwailang" in a distant manner, Jia Zheng will naturally not call him "Brother Zhizhai" with a shy face.It's just that he still can't figure out where he offended He Shen?
"Let me ask Yuanwailang, why did Young Master Ling get sick this time?"
"I..." Jia Zheng couldn't answer.After all, he didn't care about such trivial matters.He just saw that Baoyu was fine, so he didn't worry about it.
Jia Zheng had no choice but to look at the boy beside him.
Where has the boy seen such a battle?
Trembling, he said: "Young master came back from seeing Miss Lin that day, and was beaten by the second master, so he became ill..."
Jia Zheng couldn't hold back on his face.
It was his father's fault that his son got sick after being taught a lesson.It would be embarrassing for anyone else.
But Jia Zheng turned his head and saw that He Shen was even more angry than him, and his facial features were still sharp, which made people instinctively feel fear.
"Yuanwailang, did you listen carefully?" He Shen asked coldly.
"...What?" Jia Zheng was taken aback.
"Just say it again for your second master to hear." He Shen nodded the boy.
The little servant often follows Baoyu, so he is also a famous figure.But the boy didn't even dare to fart in front of He Shen.
Under the inexplicable fear, he obediently opened his mouth: "Young master went to see Miss Lin that day and came back, and was beaten by the second master, so he fell ill..."
Jia Zheng was still in the fog.
Tell him to listen to what?
Hearing this once, he felt annoyed once.
After the boy finished speaking, he panted carefully.
"Say it again." He Shen said.
The servant looked blankly at He Shen, then at Jia Zheng, and finally repeated it in a low voice.
Only this time, the boy was already sweating profusely.
After repeating it many times, even he could hear something was wrong.
Jia Zheng's expression changed suddenly, and he said sharply, "Who did you say that to?"
The boy nodded, half of his body went limp.
That was frightened.
"You bastard! You bastard!" Jia Zheng stood up, "What did Baoyu say?"
"Second Master Bao, I didn't say anything..." the boy said tremblingly.
"Really?" He Shen's voice came in, with a neither salty nor bland tone, but the boy felt that his whole body was so frightened that he lost all strength.
The little boy burst into tears: "I didn't say anything else, but Second Master Bao seemed to be in a panic. He always wanted to see Miss Lin. Both the old lady and the wife knew about it..."
No matter how stupid Jia Zheng was, he could tell something was wrong.
It's just that he didn't pay much attention to these trivial matters in the past, but now that he was exposed in front of He Shen, Jia Zheng suddenly felt hot.
Jia Zheng was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and he always valued family traditions and children's education.
It's fine if you don't listen, but I heard it now, not to mention asking the doctor to see Baoyu's illness, he just wants to pick up the rattan cane, pull Baoyu out, and kneel on the ground for interrogation.
"Go and bring Baoyu here." The more Jia Zheng thought about it, the more he couldn't hold back his anger.
"Second Master Bao is still sick..."
Jia Zheng calmed down a bit, and then remembered... How did He Shen know?Now that he knows all about it, could it be that all the rumors about the backyard have already spread out?
Jia Zheng was startled, his back felt cold, and he didn't dare to think about it.
Only then did He Shen sit down slowly, and without returning to his angry appearance, he said lightly: "I shouldn't have said this, but since Lin Yushi told me earlier, you should pay attention to Daiyu One or two. I will not allow the Rongguo Mansion to bully Daiyu like this."
He Shen looked up at Jia Zheng again: "Speaking of which, Yuanwailang is also Daiyu's uncle. Rongguo Mansion is Daiyu's maternal ancestral home. Don't say that this kind of contempt and insult will be read by the officials...Yuanwailang How to face Lin Yushi?"
Give a sweet date with a slap.
This was planned by He Shen long ago.
He really wanted to tear Rongguo Mansion apart.
But now Daiyu is still being educated in Rongguo Mansion, if something really happens in Rongguo Mansion, it will hurt Daiyu's reputation.
Jia Zheng took a breath and calmed down more and more: "What you said is true, brother Zhi Zhai said." Jia Zheng returned to his usual tone.
At this moment, he didn't feel that He Shen didn't give face at all, and his attitude was too harsh.
He just thought, who would dare to say these things to him?
Only He Shen can say it.
I'm afraid it's for the good of his Rongguo Mansion!
Jia Zheng thought about it, gritted his teeth, and felt that he should take more bold actions.
One is not to keep people talking, the other is not to offend my sister-in-law, and the third is not to waste He Shen's intentions...
Jia Zheng looked back at the boy again, feeling his anger rising, he kicked him immediately: "Hurry up!"
Why did Baoyu become like this?
It's not that there is no good one around!
However, Mrs. Wang loves and protects her so tightly that she cannot be bumped or beaten.
The boy went out with his cards.
After entering the yard, Mother Jia asked, "Where is the second master?"
The boy shook his head, the fear was still entangled in his mind, so his tongue was tied up, and he couldn't understand the words.
Mrs. Wang looked behind her.
Where is Jia Zheng?
Mrs. Wang was a little unhappy in her heart, but she still said lightly on her face: "I'm afraid the master is still angry with Baoyu."
Jia's mother was angry: "Why did the father and son hate each other overnight? You didn't explain clearly. Baoyu is sick and confused, and has a high fever. Anyway, the second master should come and have a look."
The boy kowtowed on the ground, and said, "Second master got really angry just now..."
The young man swallowed, resisted the unkind eyes of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and said: "The second master also said that he will take the second master Bao to him."
Jia Mu was so angry that she crooked her body: "What's wrong with this?"
But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason why He Shen was so fierce.
I'm afraid it's an illusion, right?
Jia Zheng thought about it, so he started to walk faster, and reached He Shen's side in two or three steps.
