Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Chapter 317: Guan Ancestral Hall makes trouble, Xue Qin arrives

If I remember correctly, the new teacher just said this morning that his grandfather praised him.

Now he started fighting with people right under his nose.

Jia Rong didn't dare to look up at Jia Jing, for fear that Jia Jing would show disappointment in him and throw him back to his father.

Thinking of Jia Zhen, Jia Rong looked up at the sky in his heart.

What kind of person is his father?
Jia Rong, who had not been beaten much recently, shook his head and tried his best to reduce his presence.

Song Shaocong saw this and smiled slightly in his heart.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Song!"

Looking at the group of troublemakers, Jia Jing felt that his face was almost gone.

"Who picked this?"

Jia Jing's expression turned serious.

None of the Jia family students in the room dared to lift it.

"I'm asking you, who started this?"

Jia Jing's voice was loud and clear, full of majesty and solemnity.

Still no one answered.

"Okay, everyone has grown wings."

"This clan school was set up for you to learn. Since you don't want to learn, how about Rong Ning Mansion shutting down this clan school?"

Jia Jing's threatening words rang out.

The naughty children finally learned to be afraid, and some of them from poor families have started to cry loudly.

Jia Rong couldn't bear it any longer and stood up himself.

"Father, I took the lead."

"Don't stop the clan school!"

Jia Rong stood in front of Jia Jing with his head lowered and took the responsibility.

Knowing his grandson, Jia Jing looked at Jia Rong in front of him with his eyes narrowed in disbelief.

"Rong'er, are you really good at what you do?"

When Jia Rong heard Jia Jing's words, he instantly became afraid and regretted standing up.

The image of Jia Zhen being beaten began to repeat in Jia Rong's mind.

"Hands out!"

Even though he didn't believe it was Jia Rong, Jia Jing still ruthlessly picked up the ruler on the table.

Jia Rong, who was about to be beaten, was about to cry.

"Tell me, who are your accomplices? Who else are there besides you?"

Jia Jing's ruler fell on Jia Rong's little hand, and tears instantly burst out of Jia Rong's eyes.

The naughty children standing behind prayed that Jia Rong would not give them away.

And the most fearful one among them is Jia Huang.

Jia Huang was afraid that Jia Rong would give him away.

After confessing, he will not only be punished, but will most likely be forced to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Jia Jing's face turned pale, and he suppressed his pain and hit Jia Rong three times in a row.

Jia Jing used all his strength with each thrust.

The second time, Jia Rong's hand was swollen, and the third time, Jia Rong's little hand had begun to turn blue.

Jia Rong's tears welled up in his eyes due to the pain.

"That's enough, brother. Stop fighting!"

Song Shaocong couldn't bear it anymore and started to stop them.

He knew exactly how the school got into chaos.

Song Shaocong's eyes fell on Jia Huang in the crowd.

"Jia Huang, come out!"

Song Shaocong began to call the roll.

It is impossible to expect to make these kids admit their mistake by beating Jia Rong.

Most of these children are completely useless.

For example, the famous Jia Huang, who was only eleven or twelve years old, went to visit brothels. When he grew up, he would definitely become a drunkard.

Jia Huang stood up in fear.

Song Shaocong ordered a few more.

After several people who had a good relationship with Jia Huang stood up, Jia Jing's eyes fell on them and then turned to Song Shaocong.

"No one knows better than me, the teacher, why this school is in such a mess."

"Although Rong'er was the one who started this, he is innocent!"

Song Shaocong spoke a fair word for Jia Rong.

Jia Rong lowered his head and tears fell.

"Do you want to say it yourself, or do you want me to say it for you?"

Jia Huang and his companions were shaking like sieves.

Jia Jing and Jia She both frowned and looked at them.

"Brother Jing, do the Rong and Ning State Houses have a new clan rule?"

Jia Jing frowned and nodded.

"There is one rule, but did they violate the clan rules?"

Song Shaocong nodded towards Jia Jing.

"You still don't admit it?"

Song Shaocong's stern gaze fell on several people, and Jia Huang did not dare to say anything.

His younger brothers could no longer hold on and knelt down in front of Jia Jing and Jia She.

For a moment, there were all kinds of sounds, including ghosts crying and wolves howling.

"We know we were wrong. It was Jia Huang who took us there. We respect our uncle and ask for his life!"

Jia Huang, who was exposed, looked at them in shock.

What on earth was wrong?

Jia She and Jia Jing were curious and frightened.

Song Shaocong spoke up for several people and revealed that Jia Huang had taken people to visit brothels, bullied his classmates in school, and used foul language.

Jia She breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be good if there was no little boy mother. If there was, Jia She would hardly be able to hold back his knife.

When the time comes, Jia She will first chop off these unfilial descendants of those who sell hooks, one by one.

Song Shaocong continued to ask: "Brother Jing, how do you plan to deal with these people?"

Song Shaocong saved Jia Rong and asked Jia Zhen about how to deal with Jia Huang and others.

Jia Jing glanced at the people who were shaking like sieves, and finally his eyes fell on Jia Huang.

Jia Huang couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground. He looked so useless!

A flash of disdain flashed through Jia Jing's mind. He had thought that he was a tough guy, but he turned out to be someone who had the courage to do things but not the courage to admit them.

Now he fell to the ground with his buttocks.

Jia Huang began to beg for mercy.

"Uncle Jing, Uncle She, I know I was wrong!"

Jia Jing took a deep breath.

"Don't come to the clan school anymore!"

Jia Jing wanted to expel several people completely. Jia Huang and others were completely panicked and began to feel scared.

If they are fired, they will probably be beaten to death by their families when they return home.

Suddenly there was another sound of ghosts howling.

But how could Jia Jing be soft-hearted? Not only was he not soft-hearted, he even punished them by making them kneel in the ancestral hall.

Each punishment lasts for half a month. After kneeling for half a month, the knees of these kids are probably broken.

This is just killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, to show the other dishonest people in the Jia family.

The new rules had just been established and what happened to Jia Zheng was still fresh in people’s minds, yet they dared to act recklessly.

This is a slap in the face of Jia Jing and even more so of Jia She.

A few kids were dragged to the ancestral temple and were told to do what they were supposed to do in the school.

However, the news spread quickly, and before long, the families of several people came to their door.

Jia She and Jia Jing agreed and both disappeared.

The few of them got really upset, and since they couldn't find Jia She and Jia Jing, they started looking for Lady Jia.

In such a huge Rongning state, there are only a few masters in charge.

If you can't see this one, go see that one.

Lady Jia, who had suffered an unexpected disaster, felt a headache when she saw the people coming to see her.

She had no idea what was going on. Why did these people come to her?
"Go call the boss!"

Looking at the several women who were sent here and were crying, Grandmother Jia was completely furious.

What's the point of you crying in front of her?

She can't control anything.

"Old lady, please make the decision for us!"

With only half her life left, Lady Jia said she was powerless.

After a while, the maid who went to invite Jia She came back and knelt down when she saw Lady Jia in front of her.

"Madam, the master said he is busy and asked someone to throw him out!"

Hearing the decisive words brought back by the old woman, Grandmother Jia frowned and glanced at the women who came to complain.

The woman began to cry and scream.

The voices of old ladies and sisters-in-law were heard, all pleading for their own children or scolding Jia She and Jia Jing.

Grandmother Jia's brows were tightly furrowed. She was lying down and was also shot.

If you want to cry, go find Jia She and Jia Jing to cry to. What’s the point of crying to a half-crippled old lady like her?

"You guys go back, I'm no longer the boss of this place!"

Annoyed, Grandmother Jia closed her eyes, and the crying of several women became louder again.

The impatience in Grandmother Jia's eyes grew more intense.

"I told you to go back!"

A few people who were unwilling to leave until they saw the rabbit refused to leave.

As expected, children are like their parents. By looking at the behaviors of several women, you can tell why the children were raised that way.

Annoyed, Grandmother Jia started to chase people away, and several women were driven away.

A few people who were unwilling to be driven away stayed at Lady Jia's door, but Lady Jia was not affected at all.

Cry if you want to cry, make a fuss if you want to make a fuss.

Seeing that crying and making a fuss were useless, the women went to find Madam Xing, who had already received Jia She's instructions.

When the women arrived, Mrs. Xing had them stopped outside the door.

Seeing that they couldn't get through the door, the women, unafraid of Madam Xing, started yelling at her.

Wang Liubao's family, who had been promoted, couldn't help but show disgust on their faces when they heard the unbearable curses from the woman outside.

"Madam, are you just going to watch them scolding each other outside?"

Mrs. Xing ignored the scolding and looked at the account book in her hand slowly.

"They can curse whenever they want."

Wang Liubao's brows furrowed.

"Madam, you are the wife of the Marquis Rong, a super-first-class lady. How can you just let them do what they want?"

Mrs. Xing put down the account book in her hand and looked at Wang Liubao's house with a chuckle.

"If I don't let them do what I want to do, what should I do?"

"Send someone to beat them out."

Madam Xing couldn't help but laugh. As the wife of Marquis Rong, she really shouldn't be afraid of them.

"As you say, take a few strong women and throw them out."

"From now on, they will not be allowed to enter the gate of Rongguo Mansion!"

Mrs. Xing gave the order without changing her expression.

Wang Liubao's eyes lit up, and his wife finally came to her senses.

Wang Liubao's wife smiled happily and agreed quickly, then took care of a few maids and went out.

At this time, several women were still making a scene on the ground.

Wang Liubao's family will not spoil you. They all rely on the Rongguo Mansion for their livelihood. You are just lucky enough to be born into the family. They are servants.

To be honest, they all rely on the Rong and Ning mansions and eat from the same pot. Who can be nobler than who?
"Ladies and old ladies, my wife is not available to see you now, please?"

Wang Liubao's family stood with their hands on their hips, with an arrogant attitude.

In the eyes of several women, she became Mrs. Xing.

Immediately, several women started cursing.

"Is this the face of a slave?"

Wang Liubao's family did not tolerate them and ordered their men to twist one of them and throw them out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Several women fell heavily to the ground and cried out in pain.

Wang Liubao's wife no longer pretended to be humble. She stood at the gate of Rongguo Mansion with her hands on her hips, looking at the women arrogantly.

"Look at all the elders present. They are the ones who raised children. At such a young age, they went to brothels and learned how to be prostitutes. They used foul language to bully their classmates and corrupted the innocent children in the school!"

"Everyone, keep an eye on us. Don't let our children play with your children in the future." Wang Liubao's family clapped their hands, pointed at a few people, and revealed the affairs of Jia Huang and others.

This is shameful in itself, not to mention that it involves children.

Several women covered their heads and ran home.

Wang Liubao looked at the backs of the few people and spat on the ground.

"Shameless thing, your own child broke the clan rules, and you still want to blame Rongguo Mansion."

"Look, it's those few people. If they dare to enter Rongguo Mansion in the future, stop them all outside one by one. Don't let irrelevant people in."

"This is my wife's order!"

Wang Liubao’s family gave important instructions.

Menzi's face was full of flattery and he nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Ma'am. I will keep this door tightly guarded."

Wang Liubao nodded and left.

For half a month, several second-generation black sheep including Jia Huang were locked up in the ancestral hall and forced to kneel as punishment.

At the same time, the ship that Xue Qin was on arrived.

However, after drifting for half a month, Xue Qin had lost a lot of weight when she got off the boat.

Jia Ping's coffin was carried down, and Xue Qin carried it all the way to Rongguo Mansion.

The old woman guarding the door saw Xue Qin's mourning clothes and found them somewhat eye-catching for some reason.

But this is not something they can control. People can wear whatever they want.

"Miss, please get in the sedan chair. I will take you to see my wife. After meeting my wife, please wait."

"My wife will personally take you to meet the old lady."

The old woman was respectful and personally pulled up the curtain of the sedan chair for Xue Qin.

Xue Qin thanked him lightly and was helped into the sedan chair by the maid.

Jia Ping's coffin was also carried away and placed temporarily in the place arranged by Jia She.

Xue Qin sat in the sedan chair, feeling a little nervous.

Although the servants in Rongguo Mansion did not show any disrespect to her, she could still feel the sense of alienation.

Xue Qin was a little afraid that Mrs. Xing didn't like her.

However, Mrs. Xing had already sat in the main room of the courtyard early, holding Yingchun and waiting to see her.

"Madam, my cousin is here!"

The little maid's festive voice sounded, and Mrs. Xing stood up with Yingchun.

Xue Qin, dressed in mourning clothes, appeared in front of Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing stepped forward to greet her.

Xue Qin opened her eyes wide and saluted Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing hurriedly and enthusiastically pulled the person up, but as soon as Mrs. Xing climbed onto Xue Qin's wrist, shock flashed in Mrs. Xing's eyes, and she pulled up the sleeve on Xue Qin's wrist.

What caught my eye was Xue Qin, whose arms were so skinny that only bones were left.

And the marks of being beaten were still there.

Mrs. Xing's eyes widened immediately.

"Your child's arm"

Mrs. Xing didn't know what words to use to describe it. Although little Yingchun didn't understand the adult world very well, she knew that her sister was suffering.

Yingchun grabbed Xue Qin's other hand and lifted up her sleeve.

The same arm, the same scars, this was obviously caused by a whip.

How cruel must one be to whip one's own child like this?

The maids and servants in the room began to shed tears.

Mrs. Xing's eyes were also filled with tears.

In Jia's grandmother's courtyard, when she learned that Xue Qin had arrived, her face showed no joy or sadness.

It's as if nothing happened.

Mrs. Xing brought Xue Qin to pay a visit, but Lady Jia refused to see them.

He only sent someone out to tell Xue Qin to change out of her mourning clothes.

How could Xue Qin agree to this?
The mourning clothes must be worn for at least three months. Now the mother hasn't even been buried yet, and you should have someone change them.

Xue Qin wanted to move out immediately, and Mrs. Xing started to get flustered.

It was not until Jia She came back that he was told by Mrs. Xing what had happened today.

"Is the old lady looking for anything else?"

As expected, Jia She asked Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing shook her head at Jia She.

"no!"

"Qin Jie'er went to pay her respects, but the old lady didn't even see her. She just sent the maid out and didn't allow Qin Jie'er to wear mourning clothes in Rongguo Mansion."

Being unfilial is a great sin, and preventing others from being filial is even more disgraceful.

Jia She went to find Lady Jia.

In Lady Jia's courtyard, she was having dinner at this time.

When she saw Jia She coming in, Grandmother Jia's eyes were very cold.

"Mother!"

Jia She bowed to Lady Jia, but Lady Jia was eating and didn't even pay attention to Jia She.

Jia She straightened his back.

"I heard that mother doesn't allow Sister Qin to wear mourning clothes?"

Grandmother Jia clenched her hand holding the chopsticks slightly, but still did not respond.

"Third sister's body hasn't been buried yet, mother!"

When talking about Jia Ping, Grandmother Jia was so angry that her hands were shaking. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and threw the ceramic chopsticks in her hand hard on the table. The chopsticks broke into several pieces and Jia She's body was also splashed with oil.

Jia Ping, Jia Ping, your half sisters are the only ones in your heart.

"When you sent someone to pick up the mother and daughter, did you ask me if I was willing?"

"I can tolerate that little girl, so I am kind-hearted."

"You're still yelling at me?"

Grandmother Jia looked at Jia She with red eyes, and her outstretched hand was trembling.

"You knew that I hated them the most, but you still brought her back to face my gaze."

"Boss, how much do you hate me?"

Jia She was stunned by Jia Mu's questioning.

Jia She reacted quickly.

"Mother asked me this, but have you ever asked yourself this?"

It was rare for Grandmother Jia to remain silent.

"Mother, have you ever seen the body of the third sister?"

Jia She's words were simply heartbreaking. The reason why Grandmother Jia didn't let Xue Qin wear mourning clothes was because she was afraid.

Now Jia She was poking her lungs, and Grandmother Jia's face was almost turning green.

"You can keep that brat, but she can't wear mourning in this house, or get her out!"

Grandmother Jia pointed at the door and threatened Jia She.

Jia She didn't want to talk much. Do you still have the ability to talk now?

Jia She left immediately, which made Jia Mu very angry. She started crying and scolded Jia She.

At least this is not a big deal, otherwise Jia She would have to consider taking the risk and let her lie down again.

Thinking of this, Jia She left Jia Mu's place and met Xue Qin.

Xue Qin was arranged by Mrs. Xing to live in a courtyard adjacent to Yingchun.

Because she had to observe mourning and eat vegetarian food, Mrs. Xing prepared a small kitchen for her so that she could eat in her own yard.

Jia She came back and found Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing asked Jia She with concern.

"Well, what did the old lady say?"

When Jia She mentioned Lady Jia, he sat down.

"What else can I say?"

"If you have something wrong in your heart, you don't want to see it, so you are afraid."

Mrs. Xing frowned. These were beyond her imagination. What did it mean that she was afraid because she had something to hide?
Could it be that she was the one who harmed Jia Ping?
Mrs. Xing, realizing what was going on, covered her mouth. Perhaps she really had something to hide, which was why she couldn't stand seeing people wearing mourning clothes, and she ordered a ban on it.

Mrs. Xing was shocked and was taken by Jia She to visit Xue Qin.

Xue Qin was also eating at this time, and a servant was helping to serve her. Hearing the noise outside, Xue Qin subconsciously put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked outside.

However, what caught her eye was a man and a woman. She didn't know the man, but she knew the woman.

It was Mrs. Xing who had persuaded her for a long time in the morning.

Xue Qin, who guessed who Jia She was, quickly stood up to greet him.

Mrs. Xing smiled and pointed at Jia She, introducing Xue Qin.

"This is your uncle!"

Jia She forced a warm smile on his face. Xue Qin looked at Jia She with curiosity. It was this uncle who saved her and her mother.

It’s a pity that her mother died one day.

Xue Qin bowed to Jia She and spoke obediently.

"Uncle!"

Jia She smiled and nodded.

"Is Sister Qin living well?"

Jia She asked Xue Qin about her living conditions with concern, and Xue Qin responded with a smile.

"Everything is fine!"

I don’t know if it’s really good or not. I’m unfamiliar with the place and I experienced that right after I arrived.

If it were any other girl who had come to live with Yue's family, she would have been feeling uneasy long ago.

However, Xue Qin is not an ordinary girl. What she encountered in the Xue family was far more difficult than she had imagined.

Xue Qiu was not a good man. He asked to marry Jia Ping because he wanted to get an official position with the help of Rongguo Mansion. In the end, he did not get the position, and he even spent a lot of dowry in order to marry her.

This made Xue Qiu very uncomfortable. This was also the real reason why Xue Qiu made trouble for Jia Ping after he confirmed that the Rongguo Mansion did not care about Jia Ping and was even happy to see Jia Ping suffer.

As for Xue Qin?

Xue Qiu didn't care about her at all. Not only did he not treat her as his daughter, he also tried every means to sell Xue Qin for greater benefits.

Now, in the Rongguo Mansion, she has no worries about food and drink and has people to serve her. For Xue Qin, this is exactly the life of a young lady she had always dreamed of.

So she had no complaints.

This sentence, "Everything is fine," also came from her heart.

Jia She looked at Xue Qin and sighed.

"Qin Jie'er has suffered a lot in the past. If you need anything in this family or want to eat something, just tell your aunt. If she can satisfy you, she will definitely not refuse!"

Xue Qin nodded obediently.

Looking at the thin and sensible Xue Qin in front of him, Jia She felt indescribable pain and discomfort in his heart.

Mrs. Xing smiled and agreed with Jia She.

Xue Qin's eyes moistened slightly, and finally she looked at Jia She and uttered shocking words.

"Uncle, I want to enter the palace."

Jia She and Madam Xing looked at Xue Qin in shock.

The saying "once you enter the palace it's like entering a deep sea" is not a joke. Good days have just begun, why would such a young child want to enter the palace?
There was a flash of confusion in Jia She and Mrs. Xing's eyes.

But this was the result of Xue Qin's careful consideration. Her father was not a good person. Now that she had entered the Rongguo Mansion, he would definitely find a way to get close to her.

She didn't want to implicate others, and she wanted to move up even more.

Entering the palace might be a good path. She wanted to win an imperial decree for her mother in the future, and she also wanted to kill those who killed her mother with her own hands.

Hatred flashed in Xue Qin's eyes, and she knelt down towards Jia She and Madam Xing.

"I really want to enter the palace and have a chance to rise to prominence. I beg my uncle and aunt to help me!"

The looks in Jia She and Mrs. Xing's eyes changed.

"Sister Qin, do you know what it means to enter the palace?"

Xue Qin's eyes were firm.

"I know, uncle."

"Then why do you want to go?"

Xue Qin's eyes darkened.

"Because I want to personally kill those who harmed my mother, and I also want to earn a royal decree for my mother, so that she can die with dignity and stay in the Jia family ancestral hall without being despised by others!"

The kneeling Xue Qin had great ambitions, which moved Jia She and Mrs. Xing a little.

But the palace gate is not easy to enter.

Jia She and Mrs. Xing tried to persuade her and even brought up Yuanchun's matter.

Xue Qin remained unmoved and just kept begging Jia She to help her.

Xue Qin has made up her mind.

Jia She and Mrs. Xing looked at her and sighed.

"You are still young, don't rush to make any decisions, and consider everything when you grow up."

Jia She brought Madam Xing out of Xue Qin's yard. The two looked at each other and felt that Xue Qin was a little too precocious.

I'm afraid Yuanchun is not as good as her.

But don't worry, after she lives in Rongguo Mansion for a few years and grows up, maybe she won't think so. (End of this chapter)
