Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 243 Who sacrificed 3
  For a moment, everyone dispersed and came out individually.

"Zi'er, do you want to return this bead to Cong'er?" Baochai shook his fan lightly, covered his mouth and said with a smile.

Daiyu rolled her eyes at her and sneered: "I won't be fooled by him. He was like this when he was in Yangzhou. He only accepted gifts and did nothing, so I followed suit."

Baochai smiled and said: "Zhenzhen'er, those who have been close to Mo have become shady. I didn't expect Sister Lin, who claims to be aloof and has no bottom, to become such a philistine."

Daiyu retorted and said, "I'm not in my position and I don't seek political advice. It's not my turn to take the lead in these bad things. Someone else has to worry about them. Sister Bao, are you going to be virtuous again this time?"

Baochai spat, pinched her cheek gently, and said, "Looking at the resentful look on your face, you are almost as good as Meng Jiangnv, and you still say you don't worry, you duplicitous girl."

Daiyu turned away and said angrily: "Sister Bao, you don't care about him. If you let him wander outside, you will regret it."

Baochai smiled and said: "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Even the emperor can't care about me, let alone me. Just put your heart in your belly. You don't know what kind of person Cong'er is? Even Qingwen is so beautiful." How can you take a concubine casually if you can't bear it?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "That makes sense." Suddenly she laughed, "After winning two beauties, he said something about sacrificing his reputation. It's so shameless."

Baochai also laughed.

The two of them went to a quiet house in the northeast corner. Aunt Xue and others now live here, and the Lixiangyuan is freed up to give opera lessons to the young actors who were bought back.

This courtyard is right behind Mrs. Wang's courtyard and is very convenient.

Daiyu went to Baochai's room to rest, waiting for her to inquire about the news. At the same time, she sent someone to invite Jia Huan.

"Ouch, Pan'er, what's wrong with you?" Aunt Xue looked at Xue Pan lying on the bed, her legs wrapped in gauze.

Xue Pan smiled and said: "It's okay. I was accidentally shot by an arrow. I'm almost healed."

"Who dares to hurt people at will? Is there any royal law?" Aunt Xue said in tears, feeling hurt and angry.

Xue Pan was about to speak when he suddenly saw Baochai come in. He quickly pulled the thin silk blanket to cover his thighs and said with a smile, "How are you doing, sister?"

Baochai had already heard that Xue Pan was injured at the door, and asked quickly: "Brother is injured? Is it important?"

"It's okay, it's okay. The skin injury has healed." Xue Pan waved his hand.

Baochai nodded and said, "Have you seen Cong'er? What did he say?"

Xue Pan chuckled and said: "Of course you can see it. Thanks to brother Cong's care, our family has made a lot of money this time. We collected tens of thousands of furs, thousands of kilograms of ginseng, and even Dongzhu." few.

Also, Han Ping, the imprisoned man, dared to make his own decisions. The goods of the black Jurchens smashed the sign of our Feng brand. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have been able to withstand this arrow, this bastard! "

Baochai frowned and said, "Brother, please tell me more clearly. Why did you get hit by another arrow?"

Xue Pan then told the whole story, naturally skipping over the plot of teasing a common girl.

"As soon as I heard that the shopkeepers said that the Jurchens were causing trouble, I came out to speak. Little did I know that it was us who had hacked other people's goods. A Jurchen girl got angry and shot me with a bow. Later, Brother Cong came and chopped him up on the spot. Han Ping’s bully made us lose money and goods again, and things calmed down.”

Aunt Xue frowned slightly and said: "Brother Cong, why do you turn your elbows outward? He doesn't help his own people, but helps outsiders. He is still a barbarian. Besides, shopkeeper Han did this not for my family's sake, and it is not a capital crime." , it’s too unreasonable to kill at any time.”

Seeing that his sister's face was not good, Xue Pan hurriedly pulled his mother and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? You are not a member of the family or an outsider. Brother Cong is now friendly with the Jurchens because of national affairs. Do you understand?"

Besides, are you going to be Brother Cong or the unpopular bastard that you were back then? Now Brother Cong holds a powerful army in the Liaohai Guard. He responds to every call and kills tens of thousands of Tatars. Who dares to defy him?

If it weren't for my sister's sake, I think our shopkeeper would be dead. What does the shopkeeper mean if he dies? Mom, you must not be so benevolent as a woman and make a fuss out of a molehill to offend Brother Cong. When the time comes, you will not only harm your sister, but also our family. "

Aunt Xue rolled her eyes and scolded: "I still want you, a villain like you, to teach me how to do things? Why did I harm your sister and harm our family! It's obviously your and Brother Cong's business, why are you troubling your sister? You're going crazy. Is it done?"

Xue Pan hurriedly smiled and said: "Mom, don't be angry, I just said it casually. Hehe, you go out and rest first, and I will have a few words with my sister."

Aunt Xue spat at him hard, stood up and said, "Baochai, your brother loves to talk nonsense. If his words don't make sense, don't take it to heart. Just tell me and I'll beat him." After saying that, she glared at Xue Pan glanced away.

Xue Pan smiled and said: "Sister, please sit down."

Baochai sat on a chair and said, "Brother, Cong'er has taken in two Jurchen girls?"

"Eh? How do you know? Isn't it one? Why two?" Xue Pan was stunned. He had just come back and didn't know that Jia Cong had written another letter to Jia Huan later.

Baochai told what happened just now.

"Brother Cong is really a role model for our generation. He admires both Han and foreigners." Seeing Baochai glare at him, Xue Pan hurriedly smiled and said, "My leg was shot by Brother Cong's new aunt. I think Since they are younger siblings, it is not easy to argue with them.

Brother Cong told me that his friendship with the Jurchens was not due to lust, but was actually done to benefit the country and the people for the sake of national security. You must not be jealous. It is common for a real man to have three wives and four concubines. Baochai sneered and said, "Is that girl pretty?" "

Xue Pan couldn't help but swallowed when he thought of Wan Yanshan's charming appearance, and said honestly: "Even if it's not as good as my sister's color, it's not much worse. I think it's just as good as Xiangling's. "

He also said it was not for beauty! Baochai spat, and when he couldn't find anything new, he turned back and came out.

Daiyu also cross-examined Jia Huan at this time. When she saw her coming in, she couldn't help but sneered: "Brother Cong really has a guilty conscience. He doesn't even dare to write to us. He only asks Brother Huan to say hello on his behalf."

Baochai also relayed Xue Pan's words.

Daiyu spat: "I knew this perverted guy would never catch a rabbit or fly a hawk. If that girl is ugly, let's see if he will sacrifice his reputation.

Baochai covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, Cong'er. No matter how beautiful a Jurchen girl is, how can she compare to your color? Cong'er once said that what he loves most is your eyebrows that look like a frown but are not. , a pair of pretty eyes that seem to be happy but not happy."

Daiyu was so embarrassed that she rushed towards Baochai with a red face, "I've treated you like a rotten person, and you've come to punish me again, so I'll spare you."

Baochai smiled and dodged, saying, "If I tell half a word of lies, I will die badly."

"Bah! You still said that!" Daiyu was ashamed and happy, and got into a fight with Baochai.

  Rongguo Mansion, East Road Courtyard

Bang! With a crisp sound, a colorful fish-and-algae-patterned tea cup, which could last for an ordinary family for several years, turned into pieces.

"You useless beast! None of the things I told you can be done. I asked you to buy a girl, but you couldn't buy a good one. I asked you to run the farm, but you asked someone to send you back with a few words! I want you What's the use? It's better to kill him!

Come, take the family law. "Jia She was frothing at the mouth, pointing at Jia Lian who was kneeling on the ground and furiously firing.

Jia Lian was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Mrs. Xing also tried to persuade her.

Jia She was angry from the bottom of his heart. How could he care about so many things? If he couldn't beat Jia Cong, I couldn't beat Jia Lian?

Aunt Jiang on the side saw it, her eyes moved, and she hurriedly smiled and said: "Sir, please calm down, this fact arises from Third Master Cong's disobedience and disrespect for his elders, but it has nothing to do with Second Master Lian.

Based on my humble opinion, there is a way to get both a beautiful maid and a golden mountain without any effort. "

Jia She's eyes flashed, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Tell me in detail."

"Yes. I heard someone said that Qingwen can manage the gold, mountains and silver seas for Third Master Cong, at least hundreds of thousands of silver. This girl also has slim shoulders, a slim waist, a long figure, and she is getting more and more dignified. With Xi Shi’s appearance, if the master brings her to his side, wouldn’t it be a gain for both people and wealth?”

Jia She's heart moved. He knew Qingwen's color. All the girls in the house couldn't compare to her. Plus the money in her hand... Thinking of this, his heart became hot and he muttered: "She was a reward from the old lady." How can I speak to the people in that evil beast's room?"

Aunt Jiang smiled and said: "There is no need for the eldest master to talk about this matter. Now that Brother Cong is not here, the two girls are idle in the room for nothing.

Now that the eldest master is 'ill' and there is no one who can take care of the decoction and medicine around him, it is not an exaggeration to think that he can borrow the girl from the third master's room to take care of him for a few days. Even the old lady couldn't bear to refuse. "

"Go on." Jia She twisted his beard and smiled.

"As long as Qingwen comes to the East Road Courtyard, can she change the world? Shouldn't she be left to the master's disposal then? I heard that Mr. Cong has not touched the girls around him because of his martial arts training.

As long as the eldest master gets Qingwen's body first and then gives her a title, wouldn't she be grateful to him? Then it would be logical for her to get Mr. Cong's money at that time, right?

Besides, if the parents are here, there is no reason for the children and grandchildren to accumulate private wealth, let alone leave it to the girl to take care of it, which is not an individual system. With so much money, it is only fitting that a great master should be in charge of it. "Mama Jiang said with a smile.

Jia She was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded repeatedly: "What you said makes sense. It makes sense. If this matter is accomplished, there will be a heavy reward."

"This is the duty of a slave. I dare not accept the reward from the master." Aunt Jiang knelt down and kowtowed, sneering in her heart, "Slut, it's time for you to be unlucky!" Let’s see if you can still pick on the nagging man, huh!
  She is Jia Cong's nanny. Ever since she was dealt with by Jia Cong last time, she has always held a grudge against Qingwen. Now that she has the opportunity, how can she not slander her.

Jia She said to Mrs. Xing again: "Madam, let's take care of this matter."

Mrs. Xing lowered her eyebrows and nodded in agreement.

Jia She looked at Jia Lian underground again and sneered: "If even a word of this is spread, I will beat you to death first."

"If you tell me back to the master, my son will never dare." Jia Lian was frightened when he heard this. They were too courageous to even try to take Qingwen's idea. Brother Cong would be killed if he came back!

"roll!"

"Yes." Jia Lian hurriedly retreated, asking God to bless him and not to take his anger out on him when Brother Cong came back.
