The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 69 Jia Zhen can’t
"Green Ant's new grain wine, a small red mud stove. It's going to snow in the evening, can you drink a cup?"

Familiar handwriting fell in front of her eyes, and the brushstrokes that did not match her age were copied by Daiyu countless times in a deserted place.

Thinking of every time she sneaked around, Daiyu's face was stained with red clouds unconsciously. Her eyes were staring at Jia Cong's hand, as if she was carefully studying how to operate each stroke, or how vigorously he wrote. Either the hidden front is thick, or the reverse front is thick, and the exposed front is like a god.

Jia Baoyu just didn't want to learn, he was not illiterate. When he saw this poem and his good calligraphy, he was amazed, but when he turned his head and saw Daiyu's entranced look, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Sister Lin!"

Daiyu was stunned and looked into Jia Baoyu's injured, innocent and somewhat pitiful eyes. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Last time, I asked my sister which of my handwritings was better. She said all of them were good. Can I see today, is my handwriting really good?"

Daiyu tilted her head and glanced at him, twitching the corners of her lips slightly, feeling extremely impatient, "You Baba came to ask me, if I don't say yes, how can I still say no? Are you okay? If your uncle is here to take care of you, how can I take care of you?"

Baoyu first wanted to interrupt Daiyu's thoughts and prevent her from indulging in Jia Cong's words and poems. Secondly, he wanted to please him. However, after hearing this, he felt unhappy. He had never been a person who could People who are indifferent to emotions and anger will be so anxious that they are sweating profusely and cannot speak clearly.

"Ever since my sister came, how could I not take my sister into my heart? I don't play around with my little sister. If the girl wants it, I can take it with my beloved food. I heard that the girl likes it, so I hurriedly clean it. Keep it for the girl to eat.

The girls didn't think of it. I was afraid that the girl would be angry. I asked the girls to think of it. I thought to myself that girls are generally like me. Every brother and sister. Since we are in the same place, we should be more intimate and warmer than before. Others are more friendly.

Unexpectedly, the girl never took me seriously. She only played with others and threw me aside. My filial piety was in vain! "

Jia Cong knew something was wrong as soon as he saw him having an attack. At this moment, he saw that Baoyu's face turned pale, his eyes straightened up, fluid flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he was in a trance, looking like he had lost all his soul. Everyone in the room was stunned.

Daiyu was so frightened that she could only sob. She was a frail person with tears in her eyes. She stood aside, not even daring to get close. She only said, "It's better to strangle me to death with a rope."

Tanchun hurriedly stepped forward to support Baoyu and shouted in panic, "Second brother, wake up, second brother!"

After hearing the news, Xi Ren rushed over and saw him dumbfounded, with hot sweat on his face and purple swollen face. He quickly took his hand and cried out, "It's fine, why is it like this?"

Jia Cong was speechless for a while. He helped Baoyu sit on the chair and pinched a handful of Baoyu's people. Seeing that he was in a daze, he was also worried that the old lady and his wife would come soon. It was inevitable that he would follow suit. He didn't care anymore and shouted in his ear, "Baoyu, the old lady wants to see you off, and Sister Lin is going back to the south. You go and stay there!"

"Sister, sister, don't leave!" Baoyu came in trembling.

Coincidentally, the old lady and Mrs. Wang heard the maid report about the situation here and hurried over. Baoyu saw it at a glance, rushed over and put her arms into the old lady's arms, "Old ancestor, you are going to take me with you." go!"

Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said with tears, "Who said what on earth to make this idiot wrong?"

Tanchun looked at Jia Cong and saw that there was no fear on his face, and his uneasy heart calmed down.

Daiyu stood aside. This incident started because of her words. Now, if she doesn't stand up, who will?She knew clearly that speaking out would definitely make her aunt unhappy, but she was not afraid.

"Old lady, it's your grandson's fault! Just now, the brothers and sisters were playing together. The grandson said something rash about Sister Lin returning to the south in the future. Brother Bao Er was playing with Sister Lin. They had a deep relationship. After hearing this, he became anxious. , it turned out that my grandson was reckless and spoke inappropriately!"

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, but she was a little unhappy, "Your second brother Bao has a dull nature. Why are you trying to coax him?"

Xifeng joined in and said, "Brother Cong, really, Baba, why are you talking about this now? Do you want your sister Lin to go south?"
Look at your sister Lin and Brother Bao eating together and sleeping in the same bed. They are different from other sisters. Now they are talking about each other so passionately. How can he not feel sad? "

Daiyu stopped crying. There were two lines of tears hanging on her fair face. She looked at Jia Cong with open eyes. She saw that although he was accused, he was not angry at all. She smiled and apologized to Baoyu, "Baoer Brother, we are brothers, please forgive me for the sake of our ancestors!"

Baoyu didn't wake up. The old lady had already pulled him to sit down by the bed and was caressing him. Mrs. Wang laughed at the side and said, "It was a joke between brothers. I can't apologize like this for a day." It’s over, what a big deal it is!”

At this point, no one was in the mood to discuss poetry anymore, but Tanchun walked to the table, gently took the poem written by Cai Jia Cong into his hand, folded it, and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.

Not long after the old lady comforted Baoyu, there was a burst of noise outside, and she couldn't help but feel unhappy, "Who is outside again?"

Xifeng hurriedly went out, but did not come in. Mrs. Wang was worried and went to see her. After a while, she turned back with a bad look on her face. She glanced at Jia Cong and said, "It's the grandma from Dongfu who came here and said that Zhen'er is pregnant." That’s a bit inappropriate.”

Jia She and others heard the commotion and rushed over.

In the Rongqing Hall, the old lady was sitting on the Arhat bed, looking at Youshi who was kneeling on the ground crying and refusing to get up, and asked, "Stop crying, tell me, what's going on?"

The old lady was old and couldn't bear to see these crying things, so she said sternly.

Youshi covered her face with a handkerchief and cried. Xifeng, who was also her sister-in-law, stepped forward to help her up, but she was also impatient and said, "Oh, my grandma, what is going on? Please tell me something." Ah, is it possible to ask the old lady to guess riddles?"

Youshi is only in her early thirties and is in her prime. She is as old as a ripe peach. She is like a peach that has been pricked, dripping with moist water, with a burning charm and two crescent eyebrows. , a pair of pear-shaped eyes, a swaying waist, a narrow waist and a slim waist, and round buttocks that are eye-catching.

Although she was the wife of the Jia family, she was remarried like the Xing family, and she had no children. Her natal family was in decline, and she did not have the glory of Xifeng. Therefore, she was not respected by her elders, nor loved by her husband.

At this time, he was full of words and didn’t know where to start. He wiped his tears with a handkerchief and just lowered his head and said, "Old lady, it’s not that my niece-in-law doesn’t know how to speak. It’s actually... Can you let Brother Lian go and see his eldest brother?" ?”

The old lady's heart also skipped a beat, and she glanced at Li Wan. Li Wan hurriedly got up and took the disturbed girls out.

Jia Cong was about to leave when he was stopped by the old lady, "Go and see, you are the cause of today's incident!"

Youshi lowered her head and looked sideways, and happened to meet Jia Cong's eyes. Seeing his cold eyes with a bit of sharpness, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

He knew the severity of Jia Cong's kick. He knew that when he kicked it, he used all his strength. If he received a kick there, he would not be killed. If he was unlucky, it would not be easy.

Youshi was crying like this, which made Jia Cong have to think more. Could it be that it was just abandoned?

If this is the case, Jia Cong has no regrets, and it’s not like he caused a loss of life!

And Jia Zhen had never been soft on him. Like Jia She, he wanted to kill him. For those who didn't know, he thought they brothers had any hatred for seizing their wives.

There was a dead silence in the Ningguo Mansion. Yu Lu, who led Jia Lian and Jia Cong inside, bowed his body and slumped his shoulders, saying nothing.

Seeing this, Jia Lian felt a little uneasy. He turned his head to look at Jia Cong and saw that he held his head high and held his head high. He was not worried at all. He couldn't help but admire this concubine. He really didn't know if he was heartless or if he was confident. Dare to act boldly.

When they arrived at the house, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang came out to greet them.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are both thirteen or fourteen years old, a few years older than Jia Cong. But in terms of etiquette, in terms of seniority, there is a grandfather in the cradle and a grandson on crutches. Therefore, the eldest son of the Jia family is the direct descendant. People of the generation named Sun "艹" had to perform the junior ceremony in front of Jia Cong.

In the past, Ning Guogong gave birth to four sons, and Jia Qiang's ancestor was one of them. After Ning Guogong passed away, Jia Daihua inherited the title and also raised two sons. The eldest son was named Jia Fu, and he was born when he was eight or nine years old. Then he died, leaving only his second son Jia Jing to attack the official position.

Speaking of which, Jia Qiang is also an upright great-great-grandson of Duke Ning, with a good appearance. When Jia Cong looked at him, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his brows and eyes were very elegant. He was much more handsome than Jia Rong.

It's no wonder that after his parents died, Jia Zhen would raise him under her knees. Nowadays, there have been many rumors among the servants in the two houses, about uncle and nephew. Zhen even abandoned his concubine, and only had Jia Qiang to serve him every night.

"Second Uncle Lian, Third Uncle Cong!"

Youshi was crying like that, but looking at Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, although their faces looked sad, anyone with a discerning eye would know that was not the case.Jia Lian was not sure either. As he walked in, he asked, "What did the doctor say? Is there any obstacle?"

"This..." Jia Rong seemed to be embarrassed to speak and hesitated, "The doctor is still here, why not ask Uncle Lian and Third Uncle Cong to listen to what the doctor has to say. My nephew is young and has little knowledge. When the doctor says it, he panics. I am so confused that I don’t know how to make the decision anymore.”

"Then please come out!"

Inside, the doctor had finished checking his pulse and was being led out by Lai Sheng. He learned that he was the young master of the house. After saluting, Jia Lian asked the doctor to sit down and asked about Jia Zhen's condition, "Whether it is a hindrance or not, let's be honest."

This doctor is about 60 or [-] years old. He is an acquaintance doctor often invited by Duke Ning's government. Needless to say, he has medical skills, but he was particularly hesitant at this time. "I am old and inexperienced. After looking at the injury, I feel that there is some obstruction."

As soon as he said this, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang both lowered their heads uncontrollably, but Jia Lian was confused and became more and more impatient.

"The injury, how did it happen? Where is it?"

The doctor stammered, and Jia Lian became impatient and sneered, "Is it because you think the money I gave you is not enough? Or maybe you are a poor old man and want to shirk the blame, why don't you tell the truth!"

"Second Uncle Lian, it's really hard to talk about it. My father was injured there, and I'm afraid it might be a hindrance to his children. We'll see how his father wakes up. If not, we'll have to hire someone else!" Jia Rong said. He looked down and shed tears, looking grief-stricken.

The doctor hurriedly stood up and apologized. He didn't dare to accept the consultation fee and left in a hurry.

My nobles, this is definitely a very shameful thing. I don’t know who the person lying on the bed had a conflict with. The cause is definitely not a good thing. The doctor would rather not know anything than know more and risk his life. catch up.

Jia Lian sat on the chair and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He didn't dare to imagine what he would be like if this matter happened to him. He looked sideways at Jia Cong and saw his handsome face, which was still as bright as ever. There was no expression on his face, and he didn't know if he was frightened or not.

"roll!"

There was a burst of shouting in the room. After waking up, Jia Zhen, who could not feel anything, endured the severe pain and angrily scolded the maid.

Jia Rong was so frightened that her legs weakened and she winked at Jia Lian. Jia Lian hurriedly patted Jia Cong on the shoulder, pointed outside, and told him to get out of here.

Jia Cong was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the effect was so good. Since he had benefited, there was no need to be a good boy. He quickly lowered his eyes and looked regretful. He bowed to the room and apologized. Without saying a word, he hurried away.

He returned to the small courtyard. Because he was in a mess, he did not go to see Aunt Zhong first, but went back to his room to change clothes.

Qingwen's hand was a little heavier and touched the pain on his back. He couldn't help but let out a cry, which shocked Qingwen, "I'm disgusting with you. How hard did I use it?" The energy is just buzzing. If the Third Master wants Sister Sheyue to serve, just say so. "

"You are so unforgiving with your mouth. What does this have to do with She Yue?" Jia Cong was really hurt and said, "Just take a look and see what happened to my shoulder. I was in the east today. I got a lot of sticks!"

When Qingwen heard this, she raised her hands and didn't dare to move. Her big eyes were filled with tears, and the tears rolled down like dams, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Didn't I touch you? It must have been very heavy!" "

"Okay, don't cry. It's not a big deal. It's just a minor flesh injury. I can't withstand being beaten!"

Jia Cong said and sat down on the stool. Qingwen was a clever person. She took off Jia Cong's clothes little by little. She saw a big bruise on her shoulders twice. Suddenly, the tears became more and more joyful. It fell on Jia Cong's delicate skin like a rolling ball.

"Master, you're hurt so badly!"

She Yue heard the commotion outside, opened the curtain and came in to take a look, gasped, and immediately cursed, "You don't know how to live or die, how can you not be punished if you do such a cruel thing and blacken the seeds of your heart?" Struck by lightning!"

Jia Cong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Don't just scold me. Go get the medicine. First, help me apply the medicine and rub it. I have to change my clothes and see my aunt."

She Yue's eyes were also red. She hurriedly opened the cabinet and took out the medicine that Jia Cong brought back from his master for the first time. She hooked it up with her fingers and wiped it on. Qingwen's thin hands rubbed Jia Cong's shoulders. On top, a cold and soft touch came.

First, news came from the front, saying that Uncle Zhen of Dongfu could no longer tolerate Third Master Cong and wanted to send Third Master Cong out of the clan. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhong remained silent and sewed a spring dress for her son. Another news came from the front, saying that the palace had issued an imperial edict and appointed the third master as the companion of the ninth grade. Only then did Mrs. Zhong's tears roll down.

"Congratulations to my aunt!" Huaping understood Zhong's mood well and took the lead in congratulating Zhong.

Mrs. Zhong said hurriedly, "You are seeking death. Why are you congratulating me? Is this something you can joke about?"

She is just an aunt. In terms of etiquette, she can only be regarded as half a master. She is slightly better than an ordinary slave. However, she is not Jia Cong's mother and cannot afford such congratulations.

Although Mrs. Zhong worked hard to raise her son, she always abided by the rules and did not want to cause trouble for her son.

Jia Cong stepped in. When Mrs. Zhong saw it, she stood up and came forward. She held her son's shoulders and looked around, "Did they make things difficult for you? Are there any injuries?"

"Third Master, he..." Qingwen spoke quickly and was about to speak when Jia Cong glanced sideways at her. Qingwen stopped talking and lowered her head unwillingly.

"No, everything is fine. Auntie, don't worry. I just had some misunderstandings with Brother Zhen before, and he wanted to sue me in front of several clan elders. Now, the palace has issued an imperial edict that I want to enter The palace reads to the princes, no matter what he wants to do, there is an old lady and a master above him, and I have a master outside, what can he do to me?"

Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh when he thought of You's crying in Rongqing Hall. He must have heard the doctor say that Jia Zhen was useless. Share?
Even if you can get a piece of the pie, how many years will you have to wait?

If You can have a husband who is willing to respect her, she is also a character, and her talents are undoubtedly outstanding. The section "The Death of Jindan Duyan is responsible for the bereavement" focuses on You through Jia Jing's sudden death. His ability contrasts with "Wang Xifeng assists in Ningguo Mansion".

However, the person she married was Jia Zhen, and she slept with her daughter-in-law and a group of concubines. "At the fourth watch, she went to Peifeng's room", which fully explained her loneliness of staying alone in the empty boudoir.

Jia Cong said this because it was for Kuan Zhong's heart. As expected, she became happy and joked on the sidelines, "Auntie, don't worry now. Third Master, what does the imperial edict look like?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It is enshrined on the big red sandalwood carving table in Rongxi Hall. How about I go and invite it for you to pay your respects to?"

He also had doubts in his heart at this time. Logically speaking, after the edict was issued, the edict should be taken to the ancestral hall, burned incense and turned into paper, and reported the good news to the ancestors, but neither the old lady nor Jia Zheng mentioned it. this matter.

Aunt Zhong was so amused that she ignored the rules and pointed at her son's forehead, "Then the imperial edict can be changed at will? If there is any mistake, the court will punish you!"

After waking up and doing some introspection, Jia Cong enjoyed it especially. He smiled stupidly and said, "Sister Huaping, what's so interesting about the imperial edict? It's serious, I should give you a reward!"

Qingwen cheered, "Third Master, how much is the reward?"

Huaping looked at Mrs. Zhong. How could Mrs. Zhong dare to make the decision? She looked at her son, "It's up to you. No matter how much, just to please you!"

This is where Mrs. Zhong observes etiquette. She always respects her son and does not regard herself as her biological mother.

Jia Cong said, "Listen to my aunt!"

Aunt Zhong agreed with a smile, tears welling up in her eyes, "Third Master is willing to reward you. There are everything in this yard, just one more month's worth of money!"

After her words fell, they heard cheers inside and outside. After the imperial edict was issued, there was a real sense of celebration here. However, there was no sound in the Rongguo Mansion, but it was after the day of celebration was issued. , everyone complained when they heard that there was going to be a two-day banquet.

If nothing else, when a banquet is held, everyone will be busy, and no benefits will be lost. Who would not complain?
At five o'clock the next day, the carriage from Prince Zhongshun arrived. Xia Jin accompanied Xian Ning to pick up Jia Cong and enter the palace together. He took office starting today.

When the car curtain opened, Jia Cong took a quick look at the people inside. He was stunned for a long time. He saw Xian Ning's hair with a pair of double buns and two strings of red coral beads symmetrically pinned to her head. Under the light, Under the illumination of the sun, her face, which was as radiant as snow, seemed to be coated with a layer of rouge.
