Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 7 Jia Zhen: Is this rebellious son a bad omen for me?
……

"Uncle Rong, I heard that Master Zhen was beaten again? Is he okay?"

Although Jin Deli has been the owner of a martial arts school for many years, he still regards himself as a servant of the Ning Mansion and is very humble and polite.

"Master Jin, don't worry. The master is fine. He just has a cough. He should be fine after resting for a while."

As Jia Rong spoke, he picked up a sword on the wall and danced with it twice.

Jin Deli's expression changed when he saw this, and he stood up and said, "Xiao Xiao, go back to the mansion with Master Rong. There's nothing going on here, so don't worry about it."

There was a time when Jia Rong was obsessed with martial arts. He came here to practice martial arts for two days. When Jia Jing found out, he came to his house and not only scolded him, but also almost ordered the martial arts gym to be demolished. Jin Deli is still frightened by this.

Xiao Xiao rushed forward and grabbed the sword, stamping her feet anxiously and said, "My Lord, didn't you say you wouldn't touch this? What if my Lord finds out?"

Jia Rong smiled.

"My hands are itching, so I'll just play around."

"Master Jin, let's go."

Jin Deli hurriedly said, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, take me back quickly." He then reminded her again with a worried look on his face, "Everything is fine at home, don't worry, you don't have to come back unless you have nothing to do..."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Xiaoxiao turned around and said angrily.

"Ahem." Jin Deli said with a little embarrassment: "What I mean is that the intention is there. Uncle Rong still needs to concentrate on his studies. How can he have the time to accompany you everywhere?"

Jia Rong waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I'm just on my way to the academy. I'll bring Xiao Xiao with me tomorrow."

Jin Deli: “…”

As soon as they got out of the martial arts hall and into the carriage, Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at Jia Rong and said, "Master, have you forgotten that last time, Grandpa scolded you as well? How dare you wield a sword?"

In Jia Jing's opinion, this is truly a waste of time and he would never allow Jia Rong to touch it!

Jia Rong laughed and said, "It's just a joke. If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how would the old master know?"

"Humph."

Xiao Xiao glanced outside and chuckled, "It's hard to say. Who knows, there might be people who just like to curry favor with Grand Master."

Xiao Zhu, who was driving outside, shuddered and cried, "Sister Xiao Xiao, why are you involving me?"

"I didn't say that. You recognized it yourself."

"You are wrongly accusing a good person!"

Xiao Xiao said: "Master, did I wrongly accuse him? It's clear that he confessed himself!"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Well, if the master knows about this, he will be punished by being sent to the stable to tend horses."

Xiao Zhu was arranged by his grandfather to be with Jia Rong since he was a child. He must report back for some things, but after so many years, they have already developed a tacit understanding and know clearly what to say and what not to say.

Xiao Zhu swore hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir. If I dare to say something in front of you, I will die of rotten mouth!"

Xiao Xiao said with a straight face, "As if our grandfather is so cruel, you swear that if you say one more word in front of the grandfather, you will be raising horses in the stable for the rest of your life and you won't be able to find a wife."

Xiao Zhu said: "I don't want to find a wife in the first place. I want to always be with you and serve you."

Xiao Xiao sneered and said, "Master, look, he clearly wants to be the ear-reporting god!"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Don't blame him. He is still too young and doesn't understand the good of having a wife. He will understand when he grows up."

Xiao Xiao blushed unconsciously and whispered, "He doesn't understand, does Master know?"

"Know a thing or two."

Jia Rong said seriously.

Xiao Zhu outside heard this and said with a smile: "Master, what do you know? Tell me too, so I can learn more."

"Drive your car!" Xiao Xiao looked up and said unhappily to the outside.

"This is serious. Drive carefully and don't think too much." Jia Rong also reminded.

This is the main road in the capital. Not only are there people coming and going, but there are also children running around from time to time. Occasionally, you can also encounter one or two drunkards wandering on the street, so you have to drive carefully.

Xiao Zhu didn't dare say anything more and concentrated on driving.

After a while, I returned home.

The first thing, of course, is to see how Master Zhen’s condition is.

Is it better? Let Xiaoxiao go back first, Jia Rong carried two bags of medicine bought from the market into Master Zhen's yard.

"How is the master today?"

"It's okay, the coughing is less severe."

"That's good."

Jia Rong felt a little relieved, and handed the two packets of medicine in his hand to Pei Feng, saying seriously: "This is a folk remedy I found that is very effective for treating coughs. Remember to boil it in the evening and give it to the master."

"Ahem, who's outside?"

Jia Zhen's voice came from inside.

Peifeng smiled and said, "Uncle Rong came home from school and bought you two packets of medicine, saying it was for your cough."

"Cough, cough, cough, let that beast come in!" Jia Zhen said while coughing inside.

"master."

Jia Rong lifted the curtain, went in and bowed.

Jia Zhen glared and said angrily: "Ahem, you beast, what happened to the things I arranged for you that day?"

That day, who knows what day it will be?

Jia Rong smiled cautiously: "Master, what was it? I forgot."

"You! Ahem!"

Jia Zhen was so angry that he almost died.

When he gets better, I'll make this unfilial son pay!

Jia Rong hurriedly apologized, "It's my fault that I studied too late these past two days, and my mind is a little unclear. I hope the master will forgive me."

"Cough cough."

Jia Zhen coughed twice, and said, trying to suppress his anger, "Lao Qinye's daughter, have you mentioned cough to the master?"

"Well... no." Jia Rong hesitated and said, "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmakers' words since ancient times. It's really inappropriate for me to tell the master."

"You, cough, cough, you, you, cough, cough, cough..."

Jia Zhen suddenly started coughing and started coughing up blood.

When Jia Rong saw this, he immediately panicked.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Quick, Peifeng, bring the medicine!"

Pei Feng had prepared everything outside early. As soon as Jia Rong spoke, she brought in a bowl of steaming medicine and glared at Jia Rong first.

You're here to make the master angry again!
The master's cough has gotten much better today.

"Master, it's time to take medicine."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Jia Zhen coughed and reluctantly ate half a bowl of soup, and the other half spilled all over the floor, his body and the bed. Jia Rong personally went forward to carefully wipe it clean and served him wholeheartedly.

"Are you feeling better now, sir?"

"Cough cough..."

Jia Zhen is a little panicked now!

Coughing up blood is not a good sign.

Could it be that he was defeated by this rebellious son?
"Rebellious son! What are you still standing there for? Go get me a doctor, cough, cough..."

Just at this moment, a light laugh was heard from outside.

"Oh haha, who is so blind to make big brother Zhen angry again?"
