Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 147 Wishful thinking

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Don't take the saint's words so seriously. I'm not a scholar from the Imperial College. I just mean it."

Then he looked at Jia Mu and said sternly: "Old lady, Cong will pretend that what happened just now has never happened. If the eldest gentleman or the eldest lady talks nonsense in front of outsiders again in the future, Cong will not talk about anything else. I just ask the old lady to talk about it." Remove Cong’s name from the family tree so that I won’t be implicated in future raids and exterminations.”

"You bastard! What crazy talk are you talking about? Why don't you just run over your house and wipe out your family? Are you going to leave the house?" Mother Jia slapped the table and cursed.

Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Old lady, calm down and listen to me. If what Cong said is unreasonable, you can hit or scold me as you please."

"Say!" Jia Mu said angrily.

Everyone looked at Jia Cong with some worry. This brother Cong was not a worry-free person. He made the old lady so angry when he came back.

Baochai and Daiyu looked even more worried. Suddenly they felt each other's gaze at the same time. They glanced at each other slightly and looked away with a blush. It was all because of that bastard Brother Cong. It was so embarrassing for the sisters to meet each other now.

"Before I came back, my uncle talked with me about the situation in the capital. He said that the capital seems to be stable now, but in fact there are undercurrents. Let alone a wealthy family, it would only be ruined overnight.

The old lady had personally experienced the case of deposing the crown prince. Four or five princely houses were expelled. Fortunately, we four princes and eight princes no longer had military power, so we managed to escape. It can be seen that no matter how noble a family is, it is not immortal. of. "Jia Cong dismissed his servants and said in a deep voice.

Li Wan and Wang Xifeng saw him talking about serious matters and hurriedly wanted to lead the sisters in.

"There is no need to avoid it. If the family is destroyed, no one can escape and everyone will suffer the same fate. Sisters, please listen to this, otherwise you will die as fools." Jia Cong waved his hand and said.

Jia Mu glared at him, "How can we reach this point? Don't be alarmist."

Jia Cong sneered and said: "We haven't reached this point now, but we have to be just in case. A big family like ours can't be killed even if they are attacked from outside. The so-called centipede is dead but not stiff."

What I'm most afraid of is that my own people will be killed from within and chaos will arise. Now the eldest master regards me as an enemy and wants to eat my flesh and drink my blood. Do you think I don't know? But he made the wrong calculation and underestimated me! "

"Okay! How can there be any enmity between father and son? How can you say such things!" Jia Mu said hurriedly.

"Never say it again in the future! If you spread the word, people will laugh at the bad family tradition of the Jia family. I know you are a promising man, so I will teach the elder a lesson and make him be careful in his words and deeds. Now, who is filial and who is not filial in this family must first Asked me."

Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, old lady, for your kindness. Cong is an honest man. He can't speak. He has offended many times. Please forgive me, old lady."

Mother Jia feels a little tired, and now she is unwilling to forcefully remove Jia Cong, which is really harmful to the family.

Since he is capable of doing something, let him go on his own and the family won't know anything about it. If you are lucky enough to achieve something, your family will naturally benefit from it, just like the Fairy Wine Shop this time.

"Okay, I know you mean what you say but you don't mean what you say. At such an old age, can I still get angry with a kid like you?"

Jia Mu waved her hand and asked a few questions about Lin Ruhai's current situation. When she learned that she was fine, she recited a few words of Buddha and nodded happily. Seeing that Daiyu's complexion and energy were getting better and better, she was even more happy. She took Daiyu's hand and said, Keep asking.

Daiyu answered them all with a smile, and everyone was amazed when they heard about Ye Tianshi's magical skills.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Bao, when Mr. Ye comes to Beijing, I will also ask him to take a look at it. Once the root cause of the disease is eliminated, you won't need to take the cold fragrance pills in the future."

Baochai's tone was slightly sour, and she said: "Thank you, brother Cong. I think this miracle doctor must be like a dragon that sees the beginning but not the end. Where can mortals see it? I am not as lucky as the girl. Anyway, it's not a serious illness and I can't die." It’s just people.”

Wang Xifeng, Tan Chun and other people with sharp minds had already heard the meaning in the words, and they all looked at Jia Cong with a smile, telling you to mess with things, let's see how you deal with it.

Daiyu understood, and immediately blushed and buried herself in Jia Mu's arms, embarrassed to raise her head.

Jia Cong had expected it and said with a smile: "Sister Bao, you have it. I think your luck will definitely not be inferior to that of Sister Lin."

Everyone laughed. Baochai also blushed, glared at him and ignored him. Suddenly I heard Jia Baoyu laugh and say: "Sister Lin, I haven't seen you for three months, and I feel more and more detached. Do you think I haven't?"

Jia Cong chuckled, looked at Baoyu, and didn't interrupt. After all, there are some things that you have to touch and bleed yourself to understand the truth.

Daiyu first turned her head to look at Jia Cong, and when she saw the playful look on his face, she felt relieved and said softly: "Of course I miss my sisters and brothers at home."

Baoyu couldn't help but said: "Qian'er saw the poem written by brother Cong in Jiangnan. It was frivolous and rude. It only offended the third lady of the Zhen family, but it also offended my sister. I really deserve to die."

"Oh? Brother Cong has written poetry again? What's so frivolous and rude? Show it to me." Jia Mu asked curiously.

Xiangyun glared at Baoyu helplessly, took out the poem manuscript from his sleeve and gave it to Jia Mu.

Jia Mu took a brief look and frowned immediately, especially the Magpie Bridge Immortal, which made her very unhappy. Brother Cong was so bold. Did Baoyu and Yu'er always get along well?

What a bastard for making such frivolous remarks, but the words were indeed written extremely well. Before she could speak, Jia Cong had already blocked her back.

"The old lady is laughing. It's just a Chinese Valentine's Day game. It's not worth anything." Jia Cong said with a smile.

"Xi Xi, why are you not good at writing poems? Why do you write such colorful poems, obscene words, and blasphemy against your sister? What's your intention?" Baoyu was so flustered that he took out what Jia Zheng had taught him and pointed at Jia Cong. Cursed.

Seeing Baoyu's incompetent and furious look, Jia Cong smiled and said, "It seems, Baoyu, you want to teach me something?"

Everyone was stunned, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. Brother Cong was too bad. Such good words were unheard of in the hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, they were still shining brightly and stood firm. How could Baoyu teach him?

"You, you..." Baoyu's face turned red as if someone had pinched her neck. She simply ignored Jia Cong and took out a string of red bracelets from her arms, holding them in both hands and handing them to Daiyu. , said: "Sister Lin, these are the Wagtail Fragrance Beads given by my predecessor, King Beijing. I specially left them for you. See if you like them."

Unexpectedly, Daiyu wouldn't answer the question, so she turned away and said, "Some stinky man took it! I don't want it."

Baoyu was embarrassed and took his hand back.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Baoyu, Sister Lin has been away for three days now. You should treat her with admiration. Look at the Persian cat's eye bracelet she wears on her wrist. It's worth fifty thousand silver. Don't give your sister anything ordinary in the future." ”

When she heard that it was so expensive, Jia Mu's face changed slightly. She had never worn such expensive jewelry before. Wang Xifeng and others even took Daiyu's wrist and took a look.

Daiyu shyly took off the bracelet, threw it to Sister Feng and said, "If you like it, just wear it. What's a string of beads worth? Brother Cong is clearly unkind and makes me look like a miser."

"Oh, you're welcome. I'll borrow it for two days and then return it to you." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Brother Cong... everyone turned to stone after hearing this.

The blood on Baoyu's face instantly faded, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sister Lin, what did you call him..."

Daiyu blushed and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Jia Mu couldn't stand it anymore and glared at Jia Cong and said, "Brother Cong, you are not allowed to bully Baoyu, or I will never listen to you."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I understand what the old lady means. This is a letter from Uncle Lin. Please read it. Because the matter in the letter is very important, my uncle has repeatedly asked the old lady to keep it secret for the time being." He took it out of his arms. Take out the envelope and hand it to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia glanced at him angrily, took the envelope, put on her glasses, and read it carefully. It was indeed Lin Ruhai's handwriting and monogram, and the seal was correct, but the content of the letter surprised her.
