Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 5 Jia Jing: With such a filial grandson, I have nothing to ask for!
……

When Jia Baoyu entered the room, everyone was busy giving Lin Daiyu a look, but Lin Daiyu didn't care about that at all. She smiled and said, "I want to make a purse for Rong'er. Don't block my way. I have to go back to sew."

"What! You want to be a purse for that parasite?"

Jia Baoyu jumped up, he could hardly believe his ears!

Lin Daiyu has never made anything for him!

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "I am willing. Why? No?"

Seeing that the two little ancestors were about to quarrel, Li Wan felt a headache and quickly stood between them and said with a smile: "The old ancestor has sent someone to call us. Let's go over and see what fun there is."

However, Baoyu, who was already furious, could not listen and stared at Lin Daiyu blankly: "Do you really want to be a purse for that parasite?"

"Of course it's true!"

Lin Daiyu showed no sign of weakness.

Originally, she had no intention of making a purse. After all, the number of days she sewed in a year could be counted on one hand, so her needlework skills were naturally much worse than those of her other sisters.

But now, she had to do it!
"Okay, okay!" Jia Baoyu gritted his teeth and said, "Since you are serving that parasite as a purse, I will just pretend that I have never known you!"

“Hahaha.” Lin Daiyu sneered: “It just so happens that I’ve never known you.”

"Woooooooo..."

Jia Baoyu slammed the door and ran out crying.

"Second Master! Second Master!"

The little girls guarding the door hurriedly followed, shouting.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu had also covered her face with a handkerchief and was crying, Shi Xiangyun, who usually quarreled with her the most, didn't want to fight anymore. She stepped forward, held her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, Sister Lin. I think he is just spoiled. It's ok for him to hang around in our team all day without any knowledge, but he doesn't allow others to study and make progress? He should really be taken to the East Palace and severely disciplined by Master Jing for two days to see if he is still full of parasites!"

By the way, how is Master Zhen now?
It turned out that Jia Zhen couldn't lie still after Qin Ye left. He was restless all night, but he didn't dare to go to Jia Jing to talk about it in person. So he sent someone to find Jia Rong early in the morning and said sternly, "You evil creature, you are already an adult now, but you only know how to read books all day long, like a nerd. You still have to let a half-dead man like me take care of your life-long affairs!"

"Fortunately, I know that old Qinye has a daughter. I have seen her before. She is a match for you in terms of looks and character. You can talk to Grandpa about it in a few days. It would be best if the marriage is settled first. It will also be my wish."

Jia Rong was speechless for a while.

It seems that Master Zhen has recovered well in the past two days, but he still can't stop taking the medicine!

"Master, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Jia Rong said respectfully.

Jia Zhen scolded: "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart. Don't use these pretentious words on me!"

Jia Rong said, "Then I'll be frank. It has been the tradition since ancient times that 'parents's orders and matchmaker's words'. It would be inappropriate for me to go to Grandpa to discuss this matter. It would be appropriate for you to discuss it with Grandpa in person."

"You! Ahem!"

"You rebellious son! Ahem!"

"Have you become stupid from studying? Look at how sick I am now, how can I go find the old man?"

Jia Zhen was angry and started coughing again.

Jia Rong hurriedly said to the outside: "Hurry, the master's cough has come back, come and give him medicine."

"Hey!"

Peifeng agreed and came in with the medicine bowl. She glanced at Jia Rong and then said cautiously, "Master, it's time to take the medicine."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Jia Zhen coughed and swallowed the medicine reluctantly, then glared at Jia Rong and cursed, "Ahem, sooner or later I will be pissed off to death by you, a rebellious son, ahem..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold snort was heard from outside.

"Hmph! Bastard!"

"Who are you calling a rebellious son?"

Jia Jing strode into the house.

Jia Zhen was immediately frightened and trembled. He lowered his head and said nothing, not even daring to cough. "You have been doing things that are ignorant and unskillful all day long. Do you want to teach my grandson bad things? From now on, you are not allowed to ask Rong Ge'er to come over without my permission!"

After that, he looked at Jia Rong and said lovingly, "Rong'er, didn't I tell you to just focus on your studies? You don't need to come and wait on me here. If you get sick and miss out on your studies, that would be bad."

Jia Rong looked at Jia Zhen with a worried look on his face: "Master, he..."

Jia Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to him. He's not going to die yet. Don't you have to go to the academy for classes today? Don't delay your studies."

After saying that, he pulled her out without further ado.

Jia Rong had no choice but to turn around and carefully instruct Pei Feng who was standing by his side: "Master, you must not stop taking the medicine. You must give it to him on time!"

"Hey!"

Peifeng nodded quickly and agreed.

Jia Rong then walked away, looking back every few steps, his eyes full of worry.

As a result, Jia Jing became more and more satisfied with Jia Rong.

With such a filial grandson, I have nothing to ask for!

Son, at this point it doesn’t matter whether you want it or not.

"Cough cough cough..."

The sound of Jia Zhen coughing could be heard from inside the room.

……

Jia Rong needs to go to the academy for classes today.

"Master, are you staying at the academy today or going home?"

The speaker was Xiao Xiao, a maidservant who served Jia Rong. She was sixteen years old this year, tall, with handsome eyebrows and bright eyes. She had a long ponytail hanging down behind her, and looked quite heroic.

Over the years, Jia Rong had only Xiaoxiao as his maid.

There are two reasons.

First: The old man was afraid that too many maids would delay his studies, so he did not force any maids upon him.

Second: There is a restless old father who misses his aunt today and thinks about the little maid tomorrow, and Jia Rong is away at school all day. Everyone knows how to guard against fire, theft and the master.

"Let's go home." Jia Rong said.

Jia Zhen was bedridden, and as a filial son, it was inappropriate for him to live outside all the time.

"There is something I need to tell you."

"what's up?"

"I want to go out with Grandpa today, and go home to see Grandpa."

"Well, it should be."

Xiaoxiao's grandfather's surname is Jin, and his given name is Deli. When he was young, he used to be a bodyguard under the great master. He followed him to the battlefield several times and was very skilled in martial arts. Later, when the war was settled and the weapons were put into storage, the great master dismissed all the guards around him.

Jin Deli has no other specialties except martial arts, so he opened a martial arts school in Kyoto. Although he is over 70 years old now, he is getting stronger and stronger. Ordinary people are no match for him.

Jia Rong took Xiao Xiao to the outer courtyard. Just as they were about to get on the carriage, he suddenly turned back and said, "You go in the carriage and wait for a while. I will go to the front courtyard and tell Pei Feng not to forget to give the master the medicine."

Xiao Xiao held her forehead with one hand and said, "Pei Feng's ears are all calloused."

Jia Rong said, "It is her own business that her ears are calloused. My advice to her is a show of filial piety."

Xiao Xiao stood in awe.

"Master, you are so filial."
