Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

After a while, when they arrived at the place, Jia Cong came down with Ping'er's men. All the boys and girls looked sideways, secretly thinking that Miss Ping was about to fly up the branch.

Ping'er hurriedly shook off his hand, stood aside politely, and whispered: "I'm not going in yet."

Jia Cong smiled, knowing that due to her status, if she was too close, it would put great pressure on her, so he nodded and walked through the hanging flower gate to Rongqing Hall.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw several little girls lying on the windows and eavesdropping, and faint cries could be heard in the hall.

"What happened?" Jia Cong quietly walked up behind the little girl and patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't make trouble, Sister Yuanyang is crying." The little girl shook her shoulders impatiently. Suddenly she thought of something, and her body froze. She slowly turned around and almost fainted when she saw Jia Cong.

Jia Cong hurriedly supported her, made a gesture of silence, smiled slightly, and eavesdropped with her.

Just listen to Yuanyang crying: "If there is good luck, I will die before the old lady. If there is no good luck, I should die. If I serve the old lady and return to the west, I will not follow my mother-in-law and brother. I may be seeking death." , or cut your hair and become a nun!
If you say that I am not sincere, I will use my words to falter for the time being, and I will have other plans in the future. The heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, the sun and the moon will shine on my throat, and a boil will grow out of my throat, and the rot will turn into sauce here! "

It turned out that when she came in, she had a pair of scissors in her sleeve. As she spoke, she opened her hair with her left hand and pinched it with her right hand.

"Ouch!" Suddenly, there was an exclamation, and a figure stepped in. The ape reached out and grabbed Yuanyang's right wrist. He twisted it slightly, and with a clang, the scissors fell to the ground.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the person coming was none other than Jia Cong.

"Sister Yuanyang, what are you doing?" Jia Cong asked.

When Yuanyang saw it was him, his face suddenly turned red, he quickly retracted his hand and sobbed softly.

Jia Mu was already so angry that she started fighting. She only said: "I have such a reliable person left, and they are still plotting against me!"

Seeing Mrs. Wang nearby, he said to Mrs. Wang: "It turns out you are all coaxing me! You are filial outside, but you are plotting against me secretly.

If you have good things, you will come to ask for them. If you have good people, you will come to ask for them. If you have such a little girl left and see how well I treat her, you will naturally be angry and get rid of her so that you can play with me! "

Mrs. Wang quickly stood up, not daring to say anything back.

Jia Cong smiled and helped the mandarin duck up, walked to Jia Mu and sat down, and said: "Old lady, I have wrongly blamed my wife. My son wants to take a concubine, and my son doesn't even know about it. How can my little aunt know about it?"

Jia Mu was stunned and said with a smile: "Brother Cong is right, I was confused and wrongly blamed a good person.

Baoyu, I wrongly blamed your mother. You never mentioned me and watched your mother suffer. Kneel down for your mother and apologize for me. "

After hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly walked over and knelt down to say something. Mrs. Wang smiled and pulled him up.

Jia Mu smiled again and said, "Sister Feng doesn't mention me either."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "I didn't send the old lady, but the old lady came after me?"

After hearing this, Jia Mu and everyone else laughed and said, "This is strange! I want to hear whether it is true or not."

Sister Feng said: "Who taught the old lady how to cook people? The water she cooks is like green onions, how can she complain about it? If I were a man, I would have asked for it a long time ago, and I still have to wait until now."

Jia Cong also smiled and said: "Sister Feng knows me too. Old lady, Cong Zheng has this intention. Why don't you always give Sister Yuanyang to me, so that I won't worry about it and you won't be angry."

Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "You monkey, I didn't ask for anything from you, but you asked for my people first? I am the only mandarin duck in total. If you ask for it, who should I ask for?"

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Old lady, Cong is not as ignorant as the elder. He knows that you can't eat and sleep well without Sister Yuanyang, so he still comes to demand you.

If you promise to give it to me, Sister Yuanyang will still serve you during the day, and go and serve me at night. If you don't delay at both ends, wouldn't it mean that all four corners are covered? What does Sister Yuanyang think? "

Everyone burst into laughter and looked at the mandarin duck. This girl was lucky. Except for Qingwen, this was the second time Jia Cong asked Jia Mu for a girl.

Yuanyang was so embarrassed that she couldn't stand still. She turned around and hid behind her, while the girls rushed to congratulate her.

Jia Mu spat: "You are a dirty seed. I have the same virtue as your father. There are so many good girls in the family, but you still come to stare at me."

Jia Congtian said shamelessly: "Han Xin orders troops, the more the better, Cong is the style of a general."

The sisters couldn't help but laugh, while Baoyu stumbled to the side and whispered: "Insatiable and shameless. Haven't you ruined enough girls?"

Jia Mu laughed angrily at him and was about to speak when she suddenly heard the girl outside say: "The eldest lady is here."

Mrs. Wang rushed out to welcome him.

Mrs. Xing came to inquire for information. When she entered the courtyard, several women had quietly returned to her. Knowing that Jia Cong had intervened, she was frightened to death. She was about to go back when she saw Mrs. Wang coming out. He had no choice but to follow in with a frown on his face.

Seeing this, Li Wan hurriedly led the sisters to the back; Sister Feng didn't want to see her, so she stayed away; Mrs. Wang, Youshi, and Keqing were afraid of disturbing her face, so they also found an excuse to go out.

Only Jia Mu and Jia Cong were left in the hall. Mrs.

When Jia Mu saw no one there, she said, "I heard you came to help your master. You are obedient and virtuous, but your virtuousness is too much!"

Now that your eyes are full of grandsons and sons, you are still afraid of him and can’t even say a word of advice? It's up to your master to make trouble. "

Mrs.

Jia Cong said calmly: "Since the eldest madam can't be persuaded, you should tell me, maybe I can persuade her? It was Qingwen the previous time, and it was Yuanyang this time. The eldest master and I have the same views. , as long as I like it, he is interested.

Now there are a few girls in the house who have caught my eye, why don't I just send them all over to save them the trouble of going back and forth. Mrs. Xing hurriedly waved her hands and said: "No more, no more." "

Jia Cong looked at him coldly, until Mrs. What's the point of filial piety?"

"Yes, Brother Cong is right." Mrs. Xing felt ridiculous in her heart. You are worthy of talking about filial piety, but you never dare to disobey Jia Cong, so you can only say yes.

After being stabbed again by Jia Mu with a gun and a stick, Mrs. Xing retreated.

After sending Mrs. Xing away, Jia Mu thought of business and said with a smile: "Brother Cong, I asked you to come here to discuss something."

Jia Cong knew it well and said with a smile: "But why do you want me to go abroad to study politics in Fujian?"

Jia Mu nodded and said, "That's it. The discussion in our family is that you are well-connected and well-rounded in officialdom. When you were unhappy, I treated you better than my own son. Now that you have become famous, but You have to protect him."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Needless to say, the old lady said that the master was kind to Cong, and Cong will never forget it. Later, he sent someone to greet the people in the Ministry of Rites and Fujian official circles, and ensured that everything goes smoothly for the master."

Jia Mu smiled and said: "It's a good idea, thank you for taking the trouble. Besides, you know, we made up for the shortfall last time, and the official turnover is temporarily difficult. Can you make some moves..."

Jia Cong raised his hand and said with a smile: "The old lady is too worried. There is no need for the old lady to give orders for some trivial matters. I will order someone to send fifty thousand silver later to enhance my husband's appearance. How about it?"

Jia Mu said happily: "Why use so much? It will cost you money again."

Jia Cong said: "It should be."

Jia Mu smiled and nodded, because Mrs.

Jia Cong glanced at Qin Keqing and saw her charming and tender smile. He smiled slightly. The flowers really needed watering.

But when Qing saw the hooked look in his eyes, she was afraid that someone would see something, so she hurriedly lowered her head and blushed unconsciously.

Youshi rolled her eyes at him angrily, feeling ashamed and a little happy at the thought that she had also been dragged into the water.

Seeing this, Jia Cong smiled and said: "Old lady, I see that there are a lot of people here and the house is a bit crowded. It's not interesting for Sister-in-law Zhen to live alone in the house.

There are a lot of empty rooms in the garden now, so why not move into the garden and be with my sister-in-law and other sisters to make it more lively. "

He also had an idea. There were many people in the house and it would be more convenient if he could go to the garden.

Mother Jia gave him a half-smile, but she didn't know his plan. She obviously wanted You to move, but she had a plan secretly. If You moved, how could you not follow him and serve?

Both Youshi and Keqing were not fools. Their faces immediately turned red and they understood what Jia Cong meant.

"Well, what you said makes sense, so let's just do it. Wife-in-law Zhu'er, you can take care of the arrangements." The old lady agreed casually because of her shortcomings.

Li Wan hurriedly agreed and said: "Now Hengwuyuan is vacant and has been given to Xiangyun and Baoqin. No one is living in Xiaoxiang Pavilion yet, so it will be given to Sister-in-law Zhen and Brother Rong's daughter-in-law."

Seeing Jia's mother looking over, Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Very good, very good. The house is empty and broken."

Jia Mu said, "That's it."

As an old lady in charge, she couldn't possibly care what Youshi and Keqing thought. Since Brother Cong was interested, let him mess around. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal if the meat rotted in the pot.

These things are too common for a large family, as long as the overall situation of the family is stable, not to mention that now that Jia Cong is the Duke and the patriarch, the old lady may not be willing to go against his wishes unless there are special urgent circumstances.

Tan Chun said with a smile: "That's even better, our garden will be more lively." As he said this, he glanced at Jia Cong intentionally or unintentionally, and he was as smart as she could guess.

Sister Feng also smiled meaningfully at him and said, "It's a good arrangement. Sisters can be more naughty when they are in the same place."

Youshi couldn't understand the meaning of her words, so she smiled quickly and said: "Thank you, old lady, for your kindness. We are widowed and unemployed. From now on, I will joke around with my sisters every day, which will be happy."

Jia Mu smiled and nodded.

Jia Cong glared at Sister Feng, quickly changed the subject, and said with a smile: "There is still a happy event that I have not yet told old lady Ming. The Holy Father has given permission for my eldest sister to go to Yuan Dynasty for marriage next year. She will definitely be even happier when she sees so many sisters in the garden. ”

Everyone was overjoyed and cheered. The girls and daughters-in-law nearby quickly bowed down and congratulated her, while Mrs. Wang was busy watching the reward.

Jia Mu also smiled from ear to ear and said, "Well, by the grace of God, our family can be reunited again. It's just that I had to go to my post as soon as I said it, so I missed it."

Everyone hurriedly comforted: "The master is often at home, but the eldest sister rarely comes back. My ancestors should be happy."

Jia's mother said: "That's very true. It's almost the middle of September, and preparations should be made for visiting relatives and picking up relatives. Now that Cong'er is the Duke of the country, he shouldn't be too frugal. It's a joke. At home... …”

He sighed, obviously it was about money again.

Li Wan, Tan Chun, You Shi and other housekeepers secretly laughed in their hearts and looked at Jia Cong. The old lady was asking for alms again.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Old lady, don't worry about Gao Le. Let my sister-in-law and the others take care of these mundane matters. I'll ask Qi'er to help take care of it later."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Well, Yu'er has been spiritually enlightened since she was a child and handles things properly. It's good that she takes care of her, and I can rest assured."

The whole family was happy for a while, and the servants, women and girls also arranged the wine, food and dishes neatly, and invited everyone to take a seat. (End of chapter)
