Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 516 Worries about welcoming the spring
Jia Cong and Bao Dai left Qiu Shuangzhai, crossed the Fengyao Bridge, and turned a path to Zilingzhou, where Yingchun lived.

This was his first time here, and he felt a little guilty. He didn't seem to care much about this Ermu sister on weekdays. During the holidays, he lost a lot of shoes and socks made by her.

"Master Marquis is here, please come quickly. Say hello to the two grandmothers."

At the door, Siqi, a tall and well-built man wearing a red brocade jacket, with sideburns, rushed to greet him.

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Is the second sister here?"

"Girl, please stay here for a while. Mr. Hou and the two grandmothers, please come in. Xiuju, please bring some tea."

Hearing the sound, Yingchun came out wearing a goose-yellow ermine skin Sichuan embroidered jacket. She was surprised and happy, and said with a smile: "Why is the third brother here? Two younger brothers and sisters, please come in."

Baochai and Daiyu saw that her face was a little pale and her spirit was haggard, so they hurriedly helped her in and said, "Second sister, go in quickly and take care of the wind."

Jia Cong followed in and said, "Second sister, are you feeling better?"

Yingchun forced a smile and said: "It's okay, it's just that the weather turned cold suddenly a few days ago and I felt a little sick.

The imperial doctor has looked at it and taken a few doses of medicine. He is now well, so I have to worry about it for my third brother.

So do you. Why don't you, the newlyweds, spend more time with the princess, Bao Yatou, and Lin Yatou to see what I'm doing? If you're not feeling sick, go back quickly. "

Baochai said hurriedly: "What did the second sister say? You are Cong'er's sister, aren't you our sister? We were all playful sisters in the past, but now we are strangers."

Daiyu also smiled and said: "It can be seen that in the past, the second sister loved the house and the bird, and then she loved us. Now that she is the eldest sister-in-law, does she still need to look at our faces?"

"Oh, you guys..." Upon hearing this, Yingchun was so anxious that her pretty face turned red and she was speechless.

She was poor at words, so she was no match for Baochai and Daiyu.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't make fun of the second sister, don't you know that she is the most honest and dull?"

Bao Dai just covered her mouth and smiled and said nothing.

Yingchun took a breath and said angrily: "You two know that I am clumsy and clumsy, so you are making fun of me. It's outrageous."

"Second sister, calm down, it's just a joke." Bao Dai apologized with a smile.

Jia Cong asked a few more questions about her condition. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he felt relieved and gave her a few more words of advice.

I know that these girls are stuck in the house, and most of them are fragile. Moreover, medicine is not developed in this era. A minor illness may become a serious illness, and a serious illness may become a terminal illness.

"Third brother, don't worry. I'm not a child. I can take care of myself." Yingchun said with a smile. I feel warm in my heart. This humble brother a few years ago has really grown up.

Jia Cong nodded slightly and said to Si Qi: "Send someone to report to me every day about my second sister's condition."

"Yes, Lord Marquis...it's just..." Si Qi agreed, but hesitated.

Jia Cong saw her expression was different and said, "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

"Yes, the girl's illness may not all be caused by the cold weather, or she may have some heart problems..." Si Qi glanced at Yingchun and said boldly.

"Si Qi, don't talk nonsense." Yingchun scolded hurriedly.

Um? Jia Cong raised his hand to stop Yingchun and said, "Si Qi, just say it."

Si Qi got Jia Cong's permission and hurriedly said: "My former children and grandchildren have sent people to our door many times to propose marriage. The eldest master has the intention of making a promise..."

"Which Sun family? Why don't I know?" Jia Cong frowned.

"The Marquis was fighting in Shandong a while ago, and then the two houses were busy with the Marquis' wedding, so no one mentioned it."

Jia Cong said: "Go on."

Si Qi said: "I ordered my cousin Pan You'an to go and inquire about it. It is said that the Sun family is from Datong Prefecture. My ancestor was a military officer. He was a disciple of the two prefectures at that time. He is also a family friend.

Now there is only one member of the Sun family in Beijing, who is currently in command and is waiting for promotion in the Ministry of War. This person has a bad reputation... so the girl is worried..."

Yingchun's face turned red with embarrassment, her energy and blood surged up, she couldn't help coughing, and said angrily: "Si Qi, what are you talking about?"

Bao Dai hurriedly expressed relief together.

Jia Cong frowned. This story sounded familiar. Could it be that Yingchun was destroyed at the hands of the Sun family?

Because he asked: "What is this man's name?"

"Sun Shaozu."

It turned out to be this person. Jia Cong was a little lucky that he found out early.

Because he said: "This son is not a good person. Don't worry, second sister. With Cong here, how can the treacherous person succeed?"

I think he asked to marry his second sister just to take advantage of our family's influence to get promoted and make a fortune, but he was a bit naive. Lingsu! "

Cheng Lingsu, who had always been with him, was inseparable. Hearing the words, Cheng Lingsu ducked in.

"Master, please give me your instructions." "Go and tell Wangcai, take my post to visit Mr. Meng Huacai, the left hall of the Ministry of War, and ask him to depose this Sun Shaozu for me.

In addition, I sent an order to Wen Zhen to investigate the details of the Sun family in Datong. If there is anything illegal, I will handle it strictly according to the law. "

Jia Cong sneered, with a hint of murderous intent on his lips. If he wanted to change the fate of Jin Chai, how could he tolerate such variables? He would definitely strangle them to death.

What's more, given his status at this moment, Sun Shaozu and his like are nothing more than trivial matters in his eyes. Let alone killing him rightly, even if he kills them wrongly, it's just like crushing an ant.

I think Wen Zhen will understand the meaning of "acting strictly according to the law".

"Yes." Cheng Lingsu bowed and left.

Si Qi said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for being so kind. This way the girl's heart disease has been cured. All her ailments are gone."

Baochai and Daiyu covered their mouths and snickered. What could be more important to their daughter's family than a lifelong event?

Yingchun said nervously: "Youhun said, get down here. Third brother, will this be too much trouble for you? What's more, the eldest master's place..."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Second sister, don't worry, Minister Meng of the Ministry of War is also a member of the New Party, and Cong and I have always been here to help each other. What's the value of this little thing, a little effort?"
As for the eldest master... Zijuan went to tell me that the marriage of the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister is not a matter of one person. The interests of the family must come first. No one is allowed to make the decision without authorization, but those who seek marriage will be rewarded. I've decided. "

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled before taking the order and leaving.

"Third brother...you, aren't you being too domineering...I might offend the eldest master and the old lady." Yingchun didn't expect Jia Cong to be so generous, and she said in a clear voice.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Second sister, if Brother Cong wasn't domineering, he wouldn't be him anymore, so don't worry."

Jia Cong said: "Second sister, don't worry. As the clan leader, Cong is naturally responsible for girls like you. No one else can refute my words even if they think about it."

With tears in her eyes, Yingchun felt inexplicable and cried: "Third brother..."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Why cry? I will choose a suitable young husband for my sister."

Everyone laughed.

"Third brother!" Yingchun said angrily.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Jia Cong knew that she was thin-skinned, so he smiled and said: "I have something to tell my second sister, the eldest wife's sister Xiuyan is here.

I saw that she was kind-hearted and indifferent, and that she was knowledgeable and polite, so she would be compatible with her sister, so I let her live with her sister so that they could take care of each other. "

Yingchun said with a smile: "That's good, I'm worried that no one talks to me on weekdays." After saying that, he hurriedly ordered Si Qi to tidy up the room.

"As for daily expenses, Sister Bao, just send someone to bring more. The servants in the mansion have a pair of decent eyes, so that Xiuyan will not be underestimated." Jia Cong said.

Baochai smiled and said, "That's exactly what happened. I saw that sister Xiuyan was dressed in simple clothes. Although she showed her outstanding character, she would inevitably be ignored by the servants who were not discerning. I was thinking of buying something for her.

Not only your daily expenses, but also your daughter’s clothes, skirts, hairpins, hair and makeup, etc. After all, she is your sister, so don’t make others laugh. "

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Sister Bao is as meticulous as a hair and takes care of every detail. Cong can sit back and relax."

Daiyu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that Sister Bao is the most virtuous person in ancient and modern times? Xiuyan is so lucky to have such a sister-in-law. I didn't expect it, and I feel ashamed."

Baochai's jade face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "Look at your eyebrows carefully. I didn't care about your child's sharp teeth and sharp mouth in the past, but now you still don't hold them back here with my second sister. It's a joke."

Ask the second sister, who doesn't know that you have a delicate heart with seven orifices, and you can do things you can't think of? It's just that I said it for you sincerely, but you made fun of me. "

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I know very well that pretty girls are talented. Now that I'm a wife, I can't be as lazy as I was when I was a girl.

I have told Ruyi that from now on, she will take the lead in handling all matters in the family, Sister Bao will be in charge of external affairs, and Yan'er will be in charge of internal affairs.

In the future, there will be hundreds of servants in the house, but some of them will be busy, even if you don't want to be virtuous. "

"That's good. From now on, our food and clothing expenses can be attributed to Mrs. Lin." Baochai said with a smile.

Daiyu was so ashamed that she said angrily: "You two gang up to bully me, and I will sue the second sister." After saying that, she looked at Yingchun pitifully.

They smiled and watched the two bickering. They were sisters before, but now they are younger brothers and sisters, which has a different flavor.

She smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, Daiyu. The third brother entrusts each other with a heavy responsibility. How can you bully me? In the future, you will hold the most power, and the second sister will still rely on you."

"Second sister, you are making fun of me too." Daiyu said angrily: "Careful, I will ask brother Cong to choose a powerful second brother-in-law."

Yingchun blushed and spat, shyly silent.

Jia Cong sneered and said, "What are you talking about that you are so good at?"

When Bao Dai heard this, she blushed and spat in unison: "What nonsense are you talking about."

Yingchun is now 20 years old, but he doesn't understand anything. His face turns red with embarrassment, he bites his lip and looks away, pretending not to hear.
