Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 291 Master Zhen has passed away, woo woo
……

"Grandma, everything seems fine now. I'm just worried that she will say something untoward when she returns home in three days." After morning tea, Mrs. Liu, the second wife of the Nan'an Palace, said worriedly.

The Nan'an Concubine smiled and took a sip of tea, saying, "Don't worry, now the matter is settled. This is a matter between two families. No one would care about her being a girl. Even Lord Jia would not fall out with our Nan'an Palace because of a niece."

"I will go there in person when the time comes. If she is well behaved, that's fine. You can give her some freedom in the future. If she talks nonsense, humph!"

"Our ancestors were very thoughtful." Liu complimented with a smile.

……

That day, Master Zhen suddenly woke up, his eyes were clear and his face was rosy.

Everyone who was serving knew that this was a last burst of energy.

"Rong'er, who are you?" After waking up, Jia Zhen did nothing else. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Jia Rong.

"Master, I am Rong Ge'er."

"Your filial son."

Master Jane nodded.

"Oh."

"Then I'll go with peace of mind."

"Remember to be filial to your grandfather and your aunt."

"My son understands!"

Jia Rong nodded heavily.

Master, you can go with peace of mind.

This home will definitely be better without you.

Suddenly, Master Zhen closed his eyes quietly.

"master."

Jia Rong cried out in grief and knelt on the ground.

"Master, woo woo."

A group of people behind them knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and the whole Ningguo Mansion was filled with crying.

……

Master Zhen couldn't hold on and passed away.

Jia Jing, who was originally preparing to be an imperial envoy to Nanjing, had to temporarily put aside his official duties and devote himself to preparing for his son's funeral.

Since Master Zhen had no official position and was a commoner, it would be a bit ugly to have him on the spirit tablet. Jia Jing then asked the old eunuch Dai Quan to approve a note and get a fifth-rank position of Dragon Guard for Master Zhen, which finally made him look more glorious.

Rongguo Mansion, small Buddhist temple in the backyard.

Mrs. Wang, with white hair and wrinkled face, was chanting Buddhist scriptures when she suddenly heard bursts of crying coming from the east.

Could it be that Jia Jing is dead?
Mrs. Wang was excited.

"Why are the people in the East Palace crying? You two go and ask around."

Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er looked at each other and said together, "Madam, it's Master Zhen from the East Palace who has passed away."

"Is it Brother Zhen who is gone?"

Mrs. Wang muttered something to herself, clapped her hands and laughed.

Although the old man didn't die, the pain of losing his son was enough to make him feel sad.

"Okay, okay!"

"a ha ha ha……"

Jin Chuan'er was startled, knowing that the Madam was going to have another attack of madness, and hurriedly said to her sister, "Quick, get the Madam in quickly."

Yuchuan'er did not dare to delay, and the two of them hurriedly dragged the still struggling Madam Wang inside.

"Madam, don't talk nonsense. Be careful not to be overheard by others and attract those two black-faced women." Yuchuaner said in a low voice.

Jin Chuan'er nodded quickly: "Yes, Madam, you can't say anything nonsense."

It doesn’t matter if you get beaten, but don’t get us beaten too.

Only then did Mrs. Wang become a little more sober.

Yes.

After being caught by the two black-faced old women, she was beaten again. Mrs. Wang was a little scared.

"I know who arranged those two women. When my brother comes back, I will make sure they die!" Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said. Mrs. Xing!
She was about to cut the vicious lady into pieces to vent her hatred.

Mrs. Wang was just getting angry when someone suddenly came to the door.

"Madam, I'm here to pay my respects to you." Zhou Ruijia bowed to Mrs. Wang with a smile.

Zhou Rui's family has been living a very comfortable life recently, and is becoming more and more radiant, forming a sharp contrast with Mrs. Wang's gray-haired appearance.

"You're here. How is Baoyu doing recently?" Mrs. Wang asked quickly.

Zhou Ruijia smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry. I have been personally serving Master Bao recently. Master Bao has gained weight."

Mrs. Wang was relieved and said, "I am relieved to have you take care of Baoyu. If there is anything he needs, just ask me."

Zhou Rui's wife was delighted and said hurriedly, "Second Master has been studying very hard recently, and he often reads at night. He needs money for his writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, but the eldest wife is very stingy and stopped giving Baoyu the share that the mansion should have given. I was so angry that I said something, but Wang Shanbao's wife chased me out."

Madam Wang sneered, "It's that evil woman again! Don't worry, when my brother comes back, I will definitely ask him to deal with her!"

Zhou Ruijia thought to himself: Your brother has long been dead, why are you still cleaning him up? What a waste of time! However, Zhou Ruijia still had a flattering smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Madam is right, let's be patient for now and wait for Uncle Master to come back. No one can escape."

Mrs. Wang liked what Zhou Ruijia said very much. She waved her hand and said, "Jin Chuan'er, give Zhou Ruijia ten taels of silver and ask her to buy writing brushes, inkstones, and paper for Baoyu."

Jin Chuan'er curled her lips. This damn old woman is here to cheat the lady of her money again!
But there is no way.

The wife trusted Zhou Rui's wife very much. She mentioned it quietly that time, and even caused Mrs. Wang to scold her. From then on, she didn't care about it anymore. No matter what happened, Mrs. Wang would not let her spend the money she saved anyway.

Zhou Ruijia took the silver and immediately became happy: "Madam, I have something to tell you. Master Zhen of the East Palace has died."

She knew what Mrs. Wang liked to hear, so she specifically said what Mrs. Wang liked to hear.

Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "Good death!"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was about to go crazy again, Mrs. Zhou Rui hurried away, put the silver away, and went back to Mrs. Xing.

"Madam, I'm here to pay my respects to you." Zhou Ruijia bowed to Madam Xing with a smile on her face.

"Ah."

Mrs. Xing took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, "How is Baoyu doing recently?"

Zhou Ruijia hurriedly smiled and said, "I am serving you personally. Master Bao is very happy every night."

Xing Xiuyan, who was standing next to him, naturally knew what Zhou Ruijia had done. She felt very disgusted when she heard it, so she quickly found an excuse to leave.

Mrs. Xing knew that her niece was shy, so she didn't care. She smiled at Zhou Ruijia and said, "Well done, reward."

Wang Shanbao took out fifty coins and handed them over, saying with a grin, "This is a gift from the madam. Keep serving Master Bao well from now on."

Zhou Ruijia cursed in her heart: I’m going to scratch you to death!
But he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face, and nodded and bowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

"Well, let's go down."

Mrs. Xing waved her hand.

"The slaves retire."

Zhou Ruijia bent over and walked out of the room. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly saw Wang Shanbaojia following her out.

"Wait a minute, you old bastard."

"Hey, Sister Wang, do you have anything to ask of me?"

Wang Shanbao smiled slightly and said, "You serve Baoyu well."

Zhou Ruijia smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay."

Wang Shanbao suddenly lowered her voice and whispered, "I will go and serve Master Bao tonight, too. You get ready over there."

Zhou Ruijia: “…”

……

""

"Rong'er is so filial, he must be very sad when the master passed away." Yingchun said worriedly.

Tanchun thought for a moment and said, "How about we, the aunts, go and persuade him together?"

"it is good."

Yingchun nodded.

The two first went to find Xichun of Ouxiangxie to explain their purpose. Xichun said, "I was just about to go see him. It's a good opportunity for us to go together."

"Rong'er, the dead cannot be brought back to life, you should be patient and accept the change." Several aunts came to persuade Jia Rong.
