Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 261: Sad Ronger

……

"know."

Jia Rong nodded, then looked at Xie Jiwen and said, "Are you serious this time? Don't let anything go wrong in the end."

Xie Jiwen was puzzled: "What accident?"

Jia Rong said: "For example, seducing someone and then abandoning them."

Xie Jiwen asked: "You still don't trust me?"

Jia Rong said, "I'm not very reassured. I've already told you in advance that since I'm involved, if you make a mistake, I'll help her."

Xie Jiwen curled his lips: "You just met, are you so good?"

Jia Rong said seriously, "It's not because I want to, but because I'm afraid that if I follow you, I'll be written into a vernacular novel and my name will be passed down through the ages."

Xie Jiwen: “…”

……

"Hey, Master Jia, why don't you say hello when you come? Our Su Wenwen and Liu Huahua are good at singing and dancing... They are both famous in the capital, why don't you go and meet them?"

As soon as Jia Rong went out, he was harassed by the beautiful woman in the building. She got very close to him, and her plump and proud breasts rubbed against Jia Rong's arm intentionally or unintentionally.

"Another day."

Jia Rong quickly waved his hand and walked out.

The beautiful woman came up to him relentlessly, and smiled as she approached Jia Rong, "It's settled, how about the day the results are announced? I believe that Master Jia will definitely pass the exam."

"talk later."

Jia Rong walked out of the building in two or three steps.

The beautiful woman hurried to the door again and shouted, "Master Jia, please take care. Come back soon..."

Only after Jia Rong walked away did the woman return to the building in embarrassment.

A group of girls immediately gathered around.

"Mom, mom, why didn't you keep me here?"

"That's right, didn't mom say that you would succeed once you took action? How did you fail?"

The woman smiled triumphantly and puffed out her chest: "Who said I failed? I got a great advantage!"

"Hehe, mommy is not ashamed anymore."

"Take advantage of Mr. Jia."

A group of women surrounded the woman, laughing.

The woman pointed at a few people and said angrily: "You guys are capable on weekdays, why don't you come up today? You just watched them leave helplessly."

A girl said shyly: "I am so shy when I see Master Jia, how dare I go up to him?"

The woman asked, "You have been seeing off guests at the back door and welcoming new guests at the front door for three or four years, right? Do you still feel shy?"

The girl said, "I feel shy when I see Master Jia. My heart is beating so fast, sob…"

"Me too."

"Me too, hmm..."

"What are you crying about?" The woman became more and more proud: "Look at how useless you are. It's said that the old ones are still the wisest. He will come again someday. Just wait and see what I do."

"Hehe, if mom can keep someone to serve her, can we secretly watch from outside the window?"

"..."

……

It was already dusk when Jia Rong returned to the mansion. The doormen at the gate came forward and bowed, smiling and saying, "Master, you are back. I wish you success in the imperial examination."

"No need to be polite."

Jia Rong nodded and smiled, then went inside.

Lai Sheng took small steps to catch up, bent down beside Jia Rong and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master, the master has been doing well these past two days. He even had half a bowl of porridge this morning."

Jia Rong said, "Then I feel relieved. Although I am in the examination room, I am always worried about the master's health and never forget it for a moment."

Now it all depends on the results of the imperial examination.

If he unfortunately fails, the next imperial examination will be held in three years, so Master Zhen can "go there and enjoy life" now... without any delay. He can observe mourning and study at the same time, patiently waiting for the spring examination three years later.

If you are lucky enough to win.

I can only let Master Zhen suffer from the pain for a few more days until I pass the palace examination. Of course, it would be best if I could be selected as an official and take up the post...

Lai Er wiped his tears and cried, "Uncle, you are so filial. I am so touched. Oh oh oh ..."

Jia Rong said with a straight face: "Stop crying! The master doesn't want to see us looking sad now!"

"Laugh!"

“Even if you have to force yourself to smile, you have to smile.”

"We can't let the master worry about us!"

Lai Er quickly stopped crying and said suddenly, "Master, a few words made me suddenly enlightened. We should really smile. We can't be sad in front of you and make you worry." As he spoke, he smiled.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Let's go and see the master."

"Hey!"

Lai Er hurriedly followed behind.

East Cross Courtyard.

There are many flowers planted in Jia Zhen's yard. It is the end of February, and all kinds of flowers have sprouted green leaf buds and delicate flower buds.

Full of vitality.

It's just that the smell of medicine is a little stronger.

In other words, if all the pills that Master Zhen had taken were put together, they would be several times taller than him.

The simple word "medicine jar" is no longer enough to describe it, and the word "medicine man" seems more appropriate.

This is because the Ningguo Mansion is wealthy and powerful. How can an ordinary family afford such a turmoil?

Of course, ordinary people can't stand this kind of torture...

I can only say that Master Zhen is really strong!
In the inner room, on the sickbed.

"Cough cough."

Master Zhen coughed and opened his cloudy eyes.

"Master, Master Rong is here to see you." Pei Feng said cautiously.

"Uncle Rong? Who is Uncle Rong?"

Jia Zhen shook his head and said something.

Peifeng glanced at Jia Rong and said, "Mr. Rong is Rong'er. Don't you remember him, Master?"

Jia Zhen looked around with his cloudy eyes and said, "Rong'er? Didn't that little bastard Rong'er die a long time ago?"

Jia Rong: “…”

Pei Feng whispered, "Don't mind it, sir. The old man has been a little confused recently."

"I know."

Jia Rong said slowly.

Looking at Master Zhen's current appearance, Jia Rong suddenly felt heartbroken and guilty.

After all, the words "bloodline" are hard to give up. Although he does not have the real Jia Rong in his soul, he carries Jia Rong's blood.

Our bones and blood are inherited from our parents.

Jia Rong felt unworthy of it.

But, for the family, for the family.

He had to!

Master Jane can't understand now.

Come to think of it...

After Mr. Zhen passed away, his spirit in heaven must have understood my difficulties.

……

Rongguo Mansion, Lin Daiyu's courtyard.

After dinner, the sisters were chatting and joking here. At this time, Lin Daiyu had already distributed the gifts she brought from Jiangnan to everyone, except Jia Rong.

Originally, she was planning to deliver it to Jia Rong personally, but now that everyone was here, she naturally felt embarrassed to leave her sisters alone, so she had to give up.

I thought to myself: I’ll send it off tomorrow.

There is no rush for that day.

Suddenly, Baochai, who was drinking tea, smiled and asked, "Is Rong'er back?"

Xichun said, "He just came back and went to his master's place in the East Cross Courtyard."

Everyone's mood suddenly became depressed.

Everyone knows that Master Zhen is very ill.

It's really not easy for Rong Ge'er.

I have to take exams and worry about my master's illness.

You must be very sad now, right?

We have to wait and comfort him.

Lin Daiyu tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

She really wanted to go and comfort Rong Ge'er right now.
