The filial son of the Red Mansion

What does it mean?

Ping Erh said anxiously, "There must be a urinary tract in the young lady's room. Just ask the maids to pour it out later."

Zijuan knew that the girl had a mysophobia, so she said in defense, "I don't know if that has been used before. It's not as convenient as a wooden horse."

What the hell!

Jia Rong understood now. Lin Daiyu wants to come here to relieve herself!

Shit, I’m hiding in the wrong place!

Chapter 147: A sense of déjà vu

Lin Daiyu had just finished bathing and was now wearing a thin gauze dress. Under the flickering candlelight, her slender figure was vaguely visible, and the slight bulge in front of her body was like the tip of a purse in the water.

Why did the little girl come out wearing this dress?

It's totally disrespectful.

Fortunately, I was the one who was seen. If someone else had seen it, it would have been terrible.

Jia Rong took a secret glance and kept shouting “sin, sin” in his heart.

Lin Daiyu seemed to sense something, and frowned, looking into the darkness behind the large wall in the hall. It was pitch black there, and she couldn't see anything at all. She only felt a cool breeze blowing from behind the wall, making her clothes flutter and her hair stand on end.

Ping'er saw Daiyu looking at that place, and her heart was lifted up. She also looked at the darkness nervously. Seeing Zijuan holding a candle and shining it over there, she couldn't help but follow and said hurriedly: "I just remembered that I just went to the toilet and made a mess inside. Miss, please go back to your room and wait for a while. Let me clean up first and come back later."

Lin Daiyu frowned slowly and asked, "Did Sister Ping'er go out just now?"

Ping'er was startled and looked back carefully. Only then did she discover that the back door of Cong Lu Tang was opened a crack, and wind was blowing in from the small garden at the back.

"Yes, he went out." Ping'er was almost scared to death. Seeing this now, she knew that Master Rong must have sneaked out just now. So she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The front door is closed, and only Madam and the young lady live inside, so the back door is not closed. It is convenient to hang out the clothes at night."

The small house in the back garden is used for the maids to bathe and wash clothes. After washing, the maids can hang the clothes in the back to dry. In this kind of weather, the clothes will be basically dry after a night of wind.

After Ping'er got into the wall with the candlestick, she gently closed the back door and took the opportunity to take a look into the small room where the wooden horse was kept.

Uncle Rong was not inside.

She put the candlestick into the hut and said, "The girl can come now."

Lin Daiyu nodded slightly.

When the door of the hut was closed, Lin Daiyu sat on the wooden horse, her cheeks quietly turned red, brighter than red flowers. Accompanied by the sound of water, she felt a little uncomfortable all over. She was annoyed: Why did he come to Cong Lutang at night? He must be here to see Sister Feng? Why did he slip away?

He couldn't figure it out in his little head, he just felt his face getting hot and he was extremely embarrassed.

Jia Rong was very lucky that he had hung the lantern outside when he entered the main hall. Now in the back garden, he could just see the light shining from the corridor in the Cong Lu Tang courtyard.

He tiptoed along the wall and walked towards the corridor. After passing the corridor between the main building and the skirt building, he arrived at the Conglutang courtyard again.

The night breeze is very cool, just right for a summer night.

Jia Rong took two long gulps of cold air and felt comfortable and refreshed, waiting for Ping'er to come at night.

On the second day,

There was quite a bit of movement.

In the morning, Jia Rong slipped out of Conglutang when it was still hazy. In the morning, Jia Rong found an excuse to ask Jia Yun to go to the garden so that Jin'er could meet him. Then he went to the West Mansion, met Jia Zheng, and visited Baoyu.

"What is Rong'er laughing at?" Baoyu was very distressed.

Not only was Lin Daiyu close to Rong Ge'er, she was also beaten up for no reason, and now Rong Ge'er was actually laughing beside her!

I am so angry!

Baoyu lay there, his round little face almost distorted.

Jia Rong said with a smile, "Uncle Bao, you'd better behave yourself from now on. I just came from Second Master's place, and from what he said, if Uncle Bao causes trouble again, he will beat you up."

Baoyu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and wanted to shout "unjust" in his heart. He turned his head blankly and looked at Rong Ge'er. With tears in his eyes, he asked, "What does what happened yesterday have to do with me?"

What happened in the academy yesterday really had nothing to do with Baoyu directly. After all, it was Qin Zhong's romantic disease that had come back, and he had even followed others in taking a brotherhood and hooking up with Xianglian. But if you say it had nothing to do with him, then it did.

If Baoyu and Xue Pan had not brought a bad atmosphere to the school, these things would not have happened.

It was reasonable for Baoyu to be beaten for this.

Rong Ge'er had wanted to beat this guy up for a long time. Damn it, there are so many beautiful maids in the room, but he just went after those handsome relatives and even led Qin Zhong astray.

"Uncle Bao is not a child of three or four years old anymore. He is not young anymore." Jia Rong glanced at the eight big maids, Xiren, Meiren, Qixian, Qingwen, Sheyue, Tanyun, Qiuwen and Bihen one by one, and then winked at Xiren, asking her to let the other maids go down.

He continued, "The eight maids in Uncle Bao's room are as pretty as the girls, and their personalities are more colorful and interesting than the others. I have never had such kindness before, and even Uncle Lian has never enjoyed it. Why did Uncle Bao go to those people when there are so many good maids to be with?"

"How could I stand those people? Rong'er, don't talk nonsense. If the master finds out, I will be beaten again." Baoyu's face turned red and he glanced uncomfortably at the only maid in the room - Xiren.

Xiren also blushed and lowered her head, secretly blaming Master Xiaorong for talking to Master Bao about these things.

Baoyu was thinking secretly: Eight maids are no match for one Lin Daiyu.

"Today I have also lectured Jing Qing. You should let him live in the east from now on, so that people won't misunderstand that Jing Qing has led you astray, and the ladies in the mansion won't look down on him." Jia Rong didn't care what they thought, and talked to himself. Suddenly he whispered, "I see that Xiren has a deep friendship with Bao Shu. If Bao Shu is really interested in something, why not look for her? Besides, she was sent by the second wife, and she will definitely be a concubine in the future."

Although the voice was small, Xiren still heard it. Her face turned even redder, and her eyes were filled with both joy and embarrassment.

Although Baoyu had secretly had sex with Xiren before, he was still very embarrassed at this moment and begged, "Rong'er, please stop talking."

Just at this moment, a charming lady came in from outside, saying that the girls had arrived.

Master Xiao Rong gently pulled up the quilt to cover the wound on Baoyu's back and said, "Aunts, please come in. I have to go back now."

Baoyu was even more embarrassed now, and even preferred Rong Ge'er to embarrass him here, rather than Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun and other sisters watching him make a fool of himself. He hurriedly said, "Tell the sisters to go back first, and I will go play with them after I recover from my injury."

Jia Rong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "Uncle Bao, you should recover from your injuries. When the weather gets cooler, I will take you to the farm in the suburbs to ride horses."

He had just learned from Lai Sheng in the past two days that both houses of the Jia family had prisoners from the Jurchens and Mongols who were captured by their ancestors and given as slaves. Now they were all raising horses on the farms and had no other abilities.

It just so happens that these people seem to be naturally good at riding horses, and the horses they raise are always stronger than other people's horses.

Baoyu finally smiled when he heard what he said. He begged, "Brother Rong, please be kind and send the sisters outside away quickly. Don't let them in."

Jia Rong therefore said goodbye to Baoyu, and went out to greet all the girls. He kindly said that Baoyu was too sad to be affected by the wind, so he asked the girls to go back first.

Lin Daiyu, however, looked straight at Rong Ge'er, with an unspeakable meaning in her eyes. After a long while, when Rong Ge'er did not come over to talk to her, she left first with a cold face.

Jia Rong did not see Daiyu, and did not think much about it. He said goodbye to everyone, and when Jia Lan came back from school, he took Lan Ge'er to the farm to ride horses.

In the following two days, the weather was as gloomy and terrible as Lin Daiyu's face, and it rained heavily on the third day.

Heavy rain fell for several days in a row, covering many places.

Jia Rong returned from his duty at Shunzhen Gate, all wet. The East and West Palaces were much quieter. On a rainy day, there was less movement among the people.

This day is Zhou Yang’s 27th day.

Jia Rong brought the sacrificial offerings and several servants to Zhou's house in the heavy rain. In case he couldn't cry, he also brought a handkerchief soaked in ginger juice.

On such a solemn day, the Fifth Prince arrived at the Zhou family early, sitting in front of the coffin in mourning and crying. The relatives and officials of the Zhou residence who came to pay their respects were all surprised to see the Fifth Prince there.

When Jia Rong arrived, he was also stunned.

This is so fucking weird, why does this scene feel so familiar?

Chapter 148: When Bangchui starts crying, everyone wants to die!

Jia Rong came to his senses. This scene was not only familiar, but exactly the same.

The Fifth Prince, who had a [Level 7 Treasure Chest] on his head, was wearing mourning clothes and crying in front of the coffin. The courtyard was filled with wailing, and the guests on both sides were filled with grief and fear.

Why is this stuff everywhere?

Seeing the Fifth Prince crying in his own style, Master Rong pulled out his ginger-soaked handkerchief and wiped his eyes. He suddenly cried out, "Brother Yang, my Brother Yang! I remember that we were on duty together at the Shenwu Gate a few days ago. We worked together to subdue the assassin. Why are you gone now? Brother Yang?!"

The powerful cries drowned out the sound of the rain and the voice of the Fifth Prince.

Everyone was stunned.

Jia Rong didn't care about other people's eyes. He staggered and trembled as he hurried to Zhou Yang's coffin, and continued to cry: "Brothers are here! Brothers brought your favorite Huiquan wine, Brother Yang~"

What a lunatic!

Yuan Zhen and Xiao Kun, who had just arrived at Zhou's house, suddenly stopped in their tracks. Their hearts trembled inexplicably, and they were almost bumped into by the attendant who was holding the sacrificial wine behind them.

Yuan Zhen had the most complicated feelings.

He had heard Jia Rong cry once before, and it was in this tone and voice.

Hearing it again this time, it was like a nightmare coming back and my forehead was throbbing.

Xiao Kun suddenly had an idea in his mind. I heard that Rong Ge'er loved to cry at funerals. Does this guy cry like this at every funeral?

How embarrassing!

How could I become sworn brothers with such a person?

Xiao Kun wanted to pretend that he didn't know Jia Rong, but when he saw his colleagues from Long Jinwei looking at him, his rough face couldn't help but turn red, turning dark red.

depressed.

Could Rong Ge'er please calm down?

At this time, the fifth prince also recognized Jia Rong, and couldn't help thinking: Captain Jia is really a man of temperament, even more fierce than the last time he cried for Yuan Zhen. It would be a waste for such a person to be a useless guard instead of following me to mourn for others.

Wait until Jia Rong approaches the coffin.

The Fifth Prince's eyes were also shining, and he wished he could trick Jia Rong right now and let this Captain Jia follow him to handle funerals in the future.

"Brother Yang, I'm here to see you. I've missed you so much these days. I still remember your teachings in my mind and never dare to forget them. I will definitely inherit your will and take care of the palace for the current emperor with all my heart and will never slack off."

The fifth prince's eyelids were twitching.

Xiao Kun's eyelids twitched, and Yuan Zhen's eyelids twitched as well. The other Dragon Guards were no exception, and they were all at a loss, staring blankly at Jia Rong crying and shouting.

The most shocked were the Zhou family.

All of Zhou Yang's uncles and brothers looked at him sideways.

"Why didn't Yang Ge'er tell me before that they were so close?"

Everyone was talking in low voices, their eyes completely fixed on Jia Rong.

It's so conspicuous that no one can ignore this guy's existence.

Perhaps it was because the Fifth Prince saw Rong Ge'er crying too sincerely, or perhaps he wanted to compete with him, so he led everyone in crying and wailing.
