Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 31 Jia Rong: Actually, I am a man who dotes on my sister

……

When Jia Rong returned home, several young aunts were waiting for him in the yard.

"Brother Rong!"

Xiangyun stood up suddenly.

The other two aunts sat quietly, without moving at all.

"Aunt Yun, Aunt Lin, Fourth Aunt."

Jia Rong entered the room, bowed briefly, and said with a smile, "How come so many people are here today? Did the young aunt send an invitation?"

Xichun smiled and said, "Sister Yun wants to see you for something. Sister Lin and I are just guests."

Lin Daiyu was eating melon seeds nearby and said with a smile, "Your Aunt Yun is shy and doesn't dare to come alone, for fear that you would eat her."

Xiangyun didn't have the mood to make trouble at the moment, so she ignored Daiyu and walked forward and said with a smile: "I heard from Fourth Sister that only you can enter the master's study? Go in and ask the master for mercy. If you can say a few good words to rescue them, I will be very grateful. Just tell me what you want and I will do it for you."

Lin Daiyu sneered and pointed at Xiangyun and said, "Look at this girl bragging again. Can you make a wife for Rong'er if he wants one?"

Xichun covered her mouth: "Hehe..."

Xiangyun was furious, glaring at Daiyu and gnashing her teeth: "I'll make trouble with you again when I have time!"

"Brother Rong, how is it? Is it okay?"

Jia Rong found a seat at the bottom and sat down steadily, saying with a smile: "Why are they so anxious about being scolded? I just came back from drinking, so I have to drink some tea to get rid of the alcohol."

"Hey, let me pour you some tea."

Xiangyun poured the tea in a hurry.

"Auntie, you can't..."

"What's the use? Drink it quickly and go save people. Although I'm not in a hurry, my aunt over there is very worried." As he said this, he stuffed the teacup into Jia Rong's hand.

Jia Rong had no choice but to drink the tea brought by his aunt.

"Hum..."

Lin Daiyu hummed from somewhere, and no one knew what it meant.

After drinking his tea, Jia Rong put down his cup and said seriously, "I must know what it is first, so that I can go in and talk to you later."

When talking about this, Xiangyun stamped her feet in anger.

"It was my brother. He went out to drink early in the morning. For some unknown reason, he got into an argument with someone and ended up beating him up. Who would have thought that the man was actually a student at the Imperial College and had an uncle who was a censor in the court? He said he would go back and tell his uncle to impeach him. When my uncle heard that, he was terrified and that's when..."

Jia Rong was speechless.

Jia Jing hated those playboys who spent their days in debauchery the most, so he would have scolded Shi Nai and his son to death.

"Go quickly, Rong'er. My brother's survival tonight depends entirely on you."

Jia Rong waved his hand calmly.

"We can't rush this."

"First, I need to know how the person who was beaten is doing, how serious his injuries are, where the fight took place, who started it first, and what the specific reason was. You have to find out all these before I go in and talk. Otherwise, I won't know anything and won't be able to start talking even if I go in."

Xiangyun pursed her lips.

"This...I'm not sure either."

"Why don't you come with me to the West Mansion? Auntie will definitely know something."

"Ok."

Jia Rong stood up and said with a smile: "Who asked me to drink my aunt's tea? I'll run some errands for you first."

Xiangyun smiled and said, "How can an aunt let you down? You don't have anything on you, so I'll make you two sets of scent bags, purses, fan pendants or other small things to wear, so you can be more romantic."

Jia Rong said, "You want me to be scolded, don't you? My aunt kept all those things for me last time." Xiangyun shook her head and sighed with a smile, "It's not easy for you, Rong'er. You have such a powerful master. You dare not do this or that. Are you bored all day long?"

"No, don't I have books to keep me company?" Jia Rong said as a matter of course.

Xiangyun was filled with awe: "Oh, it would be great if my brother was like you!"

"You want to recognize me as your brother? That's fine!"

"Bah, you wish for that, I am your aunt!"

Jia Rong smiled lightly, "Privately, you can call me brother. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me and I will protect you. How about that?" As he spoke, Jia Rong continued to speak shamelessly, "Not to mention that no one in the whole capital dares to offend me, at least I can walk sideways in most of the capital."

Xiangyun smiled and said, "I am your aunt. If I ask you for anything, can you not help me?"

"That's different. Helping my aunt has to be beneficial. Helping my sister is my duty. In fact, I am a big fan of doting on my sister."

"…I'll tell you when I need it later!"

"If you want to admit it, admit it sooner rather than later. I won't admit it until the last minute."

"Yeah. I know!"

"Do you admit it or not?"

Xiangyun suddenly laughed, took two quick steps forward, looked back and said, "Rong'er, do you think I'm stupid? I'm your aunt, why are you lowering your generation?"

Jia Rong: “…”

Xiangyun continued to laugh and said, "Besides, I don't need to walk sideways, that's what crabs do!"

"But if you tell this to my brother, he will definitely insist on accepting you as his brother!"

"..."

As they talked, the two of them walked out of the yard and headed towards Rong Mansion through the west corner gate.

The two people in the room naturally heard the two people talking outside.

Lin Daiyu took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "Your nephew is quite cunning."

Xichun smiled and said, "Sister Yun is quite cunning, aren't you being deceived?"

Lin Daiyu narrowed her eyes and nodded, "I feel like it's just a little bit off!"

Xichun asked, "What?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Yun'er is already moved. If Rong'er insists a little longer, you will have another niece."

"Ah." Xichun sighed, supporting her chin with both hands and said leisurely: "Rong Ge'er really wants to have a younger sister."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "You are the one, right? You have to be both an aunt and a younger sister. It's really hard for you."

Xichun's eyes lit up, and she sneered, "How about I be the aunt and Sister Lin be the younger sister? Anyway, your last name is Lin, so there's no need to follow the seniority rules here."

"Bah." Lin Daiyu spat in anger: "I don't want to be a good aunt, why do you lower your generation? I'm still waiting for Rong Ge'er to be filial to me."

"Hehe..." Xichun smiled, suddenly picked up a piece of paper on the table, and said with a smile: "What is this? Rong Ge'er put it down just now."

Lin Daiyu stepped forward to take a look and said with a smile, "It's an eight-part essay that has been commented on."

There are many circles and dots on the article, as well as a few comments: Gu Yu's interpretation is like the spirit of ancient Chinese literature, and the method is the method of modern literature. He stays outside the topic to write about the topic, and he gets what he wants...

"Oh, Sister Lin can also read eight-part essays?" Xichun opened her eyes wide: "I heard Rong Ge'er say that girls can't write this kind of thing, they can only write poems or something like that."

"I don't know how to..."

Lin Daiyu picked up a few volumes of eight-part essays on the table and smiled gently: "But it's not that difficult. Don't listen to Rong'er's threats. It's just writing 'poems' using words from the Four Books and Five Classics. I'll go back and think about it for a few days, and then come back to ask my nephew for advice."
