Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 96: Grandmother Jia: Damn it! Rongguo Mansion is going to become a vassal!

……

It is said that Jia Jing dealt with the two women of the Wang family and their servants in a swift and decisive manner with just a few words, and the matter seemed to be over.

Lady Jia inside just breathed a sigh of relief.

unexpectedly!

The affairs within the Jia Mansion had actually just begun, and Jia Jing had just dealt with some small matters.

"Second brother!" Jia Jing looked at Jia Zheng with sharp eyes and said coldly, "Today, the censor impeached you for not managing your family properly. Do you know your crime?"

Jia Zheng's face turned pale, and he said tremblingly, "It was because I didn't manage the family affairs well that the censor found evidence to impeach me, and brought shame to our ancestors. I know my crime!"

Jia She, who was standing next to him, could hardly hold back his laughter, but he managed to hold it back by biting his tongue!
Little brother!

The clan leader has spoken, so just accept the punishment, give up Rong Xi Tang, and move into the East Courtyard!

"It's good that you admit your guilt." Jia Jing said calmly: "Go and get ten strokes of the cane first, and then move out of the main hall of Rong Mansion when you return..."

"I disagree!"

Grandmother Jia walked out with a gloomy face, and Jia Rong followed behind with a helpless look on his face.

The old lady was so strong that he couldn't stop her at all.

"Jing'er, I don't agree with this matter!" said Grandmother Jia angrily.

She doesn't care about dealing with the Wang family, but she will never agree if her beloved little son is touched!

Jia She, who was standing next to him, almost had fire in his eyes!

This biased old woman!
When you get to Mount Wutai, I will find someone to pry open the coffin for you!

Jia Jing said sternly, "Madam, this is not a matter of whether you agree or not. The emperor knows that the second son is not strict in managing the family. If he still lives in Rong Xi Tang, firstly, it is against the etiquette. Secondly, if he knows it but does not change, wouldn't it be a disrespect to the emperor? I will have a hard time explaining myself then."

After saying this, Jia Jing stopped talking nonsense with Lady Jia.

"Someone is coming."

Two personal soldiers immediately came in from the door.

"My subordinate is here!"

Jia Jing pointed at Jia Zheng and said, "Take him away and give him ten strokes of the cane!"

"Yes!"

The guards immediately dragged the pale-faced Jia Zheng outside.

Jia Zheng suddenly remembered how he had beaten Baoyu a few days ago. It was really a changing of circumstances...

Soon.

"Bang bang bang!"

"what……"

Jia Zheng screamed.

Jia Rong felt itchy after hearing this.

It's not common to see Master Zheng being beaten with a stick. It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes.

Grandmother Jia was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Jing'er! You! How could you be so cruel as to beat your brother?"

Jia Jing took a sip of tea and smiled faintly: "Don't talk about brothers, I will still beat my son to death if he makes a mistake!"

"Old lady, please sit down and wait. It's just ten strokes of the cane. Back then, the old master beat you much harder than I did."

Grandmother Jia was in no mood to sit down. She sneered and said, "Your grandson made a mistake? Are you willing to beat him?"

Jia Rong: “…”

Why involve me!
Jia Jing laughed and said, "What mistake did he make? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Grandmother Jia sneered: "You are the head of the Jia family, the Minister of War, who dares to tell you? Just like Baoyu, even if he made a mistake, who dares to tell me?"

Jia Jing stood up, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The old lady is an understanding person."

"Humph."

Grandmother Jia sneered and said nothing.

She has lived for sixty or seventy years. What doesn’t she know?
Jia Jing laughed and said, "I just want to ask you, Auntie, when you compare Baoyu with Rong'er, don't you think it's funny?"

At this moment, Jia She suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Mother, it is quite funny!"

Grandmother Jia glared at Jia She first, then looked at Jia Jing and frowned, "What do you mean?"

Facing the confused old lady, Jia Jing said bluntly: "The meaning of firefly and bright moon!"

"I won't say much about filial piety. The whole of Kyoto knows about Rong'er's filial piety."

"A studious boy of fifteen, who won first place in the Shuntian Prefecture Examination. How many people in the world can compare with him?"

"Ability, more than two million in tax silver, from Jiangnan to Kyoto, and also captured a bandit leader along the way. Lin Ruhai owes him a favor."

"I'm going to say something that you may not like to hear, old lady. Even if Rong'er is wrong, I really won't punish him!"

"The words of the Supreme Emperor are golden, the Jia family's unicorn son!"

"How should I punish him?"

Jia Mu: "..."

After Jia Jing finished speaking, he turned to Jia Rong and said seriously, "I was just saying this casually. Don't be proud. If you really make a mistake, I will not let you off with my stick!"

Jia Rong: “…”

"understood."

At this time, Jia Zheng, who had been beaten with ten boards, was supported by someone and limped into the house.

Jia Zheng was a scholar, or at least he considered himself a scholar, so he was naturally a little frail, and the ten beatings almost took half his life.

Grandmother Jia rushed over distressedly, holding Jia Zheng's hand and crying, "Son, are you okay?"

"Mom, I'm fine..."

Jia She stepped forward, patted Jia Zheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother. My second brother is in good health. He is fine. Even if he gets hit with twenty sticks, he will be fine!"

Jia Zheng: "..."

Grandmother Jia glared at Jia She and gritted her teeth and said, "Don't talk nonsense here, big brother. Hurry up and help your brother go back to rest!"

Jia She smiled and said, "I dare not leave until Brother Jing gives the order."

Grandmother Jia: "..." The eldest son is indeed a rebellious boy! He doesn't listen to him, but listens to his cousin who is several generations away!
Jia Jing waved his hand and said, "Go back. Second brother, remember to move out of Rongxi Hall as soon as possible and find a courtyard to live in somewhere else."

"Also, the imperial court is not suitable for you. When you are ready, you can go to the clan school to teach. It is a good opportunity for you to take care of Baoyu. If you can educate Baoyu to become a talented person, it will be worth it!"

Jia Zheng: "..."

My career... is over?
Jia Mu: "..."

What is this going to do?
Why does it feel like Rongguo Mansion is about to become a vassal of Ningguo Mansion! ?

Jia She walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back and asked, "Brother, can I move into Rong Xi Tang now?"

Jia Jing said: "You are the heir to the title!"

Jia She said happily: "Thank you, brother!"

Mrs. Xing was even happier: "Thank you, uncle!"

Jia Jing nodded: "Remember to manage the house well, I don't want the next punishment to fall on you!"

Jia She shivered with fear and said hurriedly, "I understand. From now on, I will obey your teachings and run the family strictly!"

Jia Mu: "..."

……

Hui Garden, Qinfang Pavilion.

Li Wan, Yingchun, Tanchun, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Baoqin and the young mistress Xichun, seven people sat around the table.

The table was laid with various fresh fruit plates such as peaches, watermelons, apples, various snacks and tea.

"Master, the mistress is here."

"The master and mistress have also gone there!"

"The old lady is here!"

"Second Brother Lian, Second Sister-in-law is here too."

"Why is Uncle Wang here too?"

Qinfang Pavilion is located at a high altitude, and everyone can just happen to see the main hall in the front yard.

Seeing so many people and even Lady Jia herself coming to Ningguo Mansion, everyone realized that something big might have happened!

Li Wan said, "Let's go somewhere else to have fun. How about I take you to study and do needlework?"

Xiangyun said with a smile: "You go ahead, I just want to see the master show off his power here, I guess someone here will definitely be beaten! Who will be the first one?"

Xichun said: "I guess it's Brother Lian. He is the youngest, so he will definitely be beaten first!"

Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "That's not right. Rong'er also went in just now. He is the youngest!"

Tanchun smiled and said, "Sister Lin, don't worry. Apart from the old lady and Sister Feng, only Rong'er will not be beaten. That is the lifeblood of the master!"

Yingchun smiled and said, "Yes, it is more valuable than Baoyu. How could Master be willing to give it up? Sister Lin really doesn't need to worry."

"Pah, why am I worried about him?"

Lin Daiyu spat. Why was she worried about Jia Rong? She was just saying it casually.

Xiangyun smiled and said, "We were all talking about others, but you just mentioned him. You are such a good aunt, thinking about your nephew all the time!"

"I miss you big head ghost!"

"Ah, Sister Lin is so angry!"

The two of them started to play around.

Just then!
Something surprising happened!
So much so that everyone couldn't believe their eyes!

The first one: Uncle Wang came and left immediately, and he only spent a few words in the lobby!

Why does it look like they had a falling out over something?
That’s fine, the key is the second one!
Everyone was dumbfounded. They saw two burly old women dragging Madam Wang out of the main hall!

Mrs. Wang is in such a mess!
This is...what is going on!
Tanchun rubbed her eyes hard, she even suspected that she was dreaming!

Although Ermu Yingchun was a little dumb, she opened her mouth in surprise and murmured, "Impossible, impossible..."

Not to mention Li Wan, who saw her mother-in-law being dragged out of the hall, as if to be tortured, and her pretty face turned pale with fear: "Stop looking, let's go back!"

"it is good……"

Tanchun replied absentmindedly.

"Ok!"

Yingchun didn't dare to look any longer.

Everyone went down Qinfang Pavilion together.

Xiangyun smiled and said, "You guys go back first, I'll play with Sister Lin here for a while."

"Ok!"

Li Wan didn't have the mood to think too much now, so she took Yingchun and Tanchun back to Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "Yun'er, tell me what you are thinking of staying here!"

Xiangyun smiled and said, "What tricks can I have? I'm just playing with you guys."

"Hmph!" Lin Daiyu said, "Tell me the truth, do you still want to go back to the pavilion and watch secretly?"

"Hehe, let's go!"

Xiangyun was pointed out by Daiyu, but she didn't act pretentiously and pulled Daiyu towards Qinfang Pavilion.

"I know what you're thinking!"

"Why do you want to pull me here?"

Daiyu was pulled by Xiangyun and reluctantly returned to Qinfang Pavilion.

"Ah! Look!"

Xiangyun jumped up excitedly!

"The master was also dragged out and beaten! The master really showed his power!"

"A real man should be like this: lying on the lap of a beauty when drunk and holding a murderous sword when sober!"

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "You are possessed by a demon!"
