The filial son of the Red Mansion

Jia Rong, however, did not let go at all, and even said calmly, "Aunt, you came at the right time. I haven't asked about your health these days."

This guy had actually heard the noise outside and knew that it was Daiyu and Zijuan who came, so he didn't try to avoid suspicion. He finally figured it out. You Erjie and You Sanjie had ridden together in front of everyone at the horse farm, so why should he be afraid of others seeing him massaging Wang Xifeng in the East Mansion?

I'm not afraid of anyone coming.

Lady Jia, Xing and Wang would not come to Cong Lu Tang either.

Wang Xifeng secretly scolded Rong Ge'er in her heart for not letting go in front of the little girl. She could only explain helplessly: "I have been feeling unwell recently, and I heard that something happened in the mansion. My blood is not flowing smoothly, so I asked Rong Ge'er to help me massage it."

Lin Daiyu's eyebrows moved slightly, her pure eyes were like flowing water, and she smiled and said, "Rong'er is really affectionate. He is busy with Lian'er's affairs, and he is also taking care of the school and Lan'er's affairs. He also has to take care of the big and small things around the sisters of the You family. Now he even has to take care of Sister's discomfort himself."

What a nice little girl! Are you trying to put some lies in Feng Jieer’s eyes on her?

hiss!

Feng Lazi went crazy and even started fighting with Lin Daiyu and Zijuan in the presence of her.

Jia Rong said angrily, "Aunt, have you forgotten that you still have to take care of your health? A poor man like me is born to work hard, so how can I rest for a moment?"

Daiyu blushed for a while after hearing this, but she stopped arguing and said, "I have been feeling much better these days. Do you have any new tea, sister?"

Wang Xifeng patted Jia Rong's hand gently. She was too embarrassed to let him rub and pinch it in front of Lin Daiyu. She called Ping'er to serve new tea and said, "I still have a lot here. Sister, take some back later."

Lin Daiyu said, "What's the fun of eating in my room? It's better to come to my sister's place and ask for food. Maybe I can catch some fun and see how diligent and filial people who have become high officials are."

Jia Rong said: "If I am not more attentive in front of you, what will I say if my aunt and uncle suddenly find fault with Dongfang later?"

Lin Daiyu spat softly, and Ping'er happened to bring tea, so she took a sip. Then she saw Fengjie spitting at Rong'er, "When have I ever been mean to you? You conscienceless thing, go away and don't bother us sisters."

Jia Rong rarely saw Sister Feng being so shy, so he was unwilling to leave. Instead, he moved his body to sit next to Sister Feng. He smiled and said, "I am worried that something is wrong with the East Mansion and that it did not satisfy you."

Feng Jieer was actually unable to do anything with Rong Ge'er for a while.

Daiyu found it very interesting, cracking melon seeds and smiling. She heard that the new wife of Lian's second brother in the west had disappeared, so she asked again, "How many days will you stay in the east?"

Wang Xifeng naturally didn't care. Now that she had started, she could come anytime she wanted. So she asked, "Why are you asking this, sister?"

Daiyu said, "On weekdays, when I don't want to go out, it would be fun to have my sister accompany me in the east."

Wang Xifeng didn't think much about it and said with a smile, "Sister, if you want to stay in the east for a long time, I will accompany you."

Jia Rong was bored at the moment. They were talking about their own things, and he was too embarrassed to say anything to Wang Xifeng in front of a little girl. After sitting there for a while, he said, "While you guys were talking, I suddenly remembered something."

Seeing him leaving, Lin Daiyu could not help but say in a strange voice, "It's my fault. If I had known Rong'er was here, I would have come tomorrow. I wouldn't have left anyone alone, having him sit there for a long time without saying a word. If someone comes every day, it won't be so deserted here."

If you are thin-skinned, you will have to sit for a while after hearing this.

Jia Rong was still unwilling, so he laughed and said, "There really is something going on." Then he got up and left.

Lin Daiyu looked at him eagerly and felt a little reluctant to leave.

He did have something to do, and as soon as Ping'er left the room, he hurriedly took Ping'er to the small courtyard behind Conglutang. He hugged Ping'er tightly and asked, "My dear wife, why is she so weird today? What did someone say?"

Ping Er knew that Master Rong was asking about Wang Xifeng, but her buttocks were being grasped by Master Rong's big hands, which made her body feel hot. She twisted her body slightly and said with a smile, "Who told you to be so greedy and lustful? How could she hide what happened in the horse farm?"

The horse farm in Zhuangshang?

Jia Rong pouted and said, "It's not a big deal."

Ping Erh spat, "Isn't it a big deal? The sisters of the Yu family are relatives of the mansion, and you actually harbor evil intentions to target them. And Miss Lin is at an age of ignorance, and you are getting closer and closer to her. Grandma has seen it all."

Jia Rong was surprised, "Since she had heard all this, why didn't she react?"

Ping'er quickly grabbed the handkerchief and rolled her eyes, saying, "She couldn't even control Second Master Lian in the past, how can she control you now? As long as there's no chaos in the inner houses of the two mansions, she won't bother to care now." After a pause, she continued, "Master, you should also be more focused. There are so many women in the mansion, and you're not satisfied? If outsiders hear anything, they will report you for bullying men and women and forcing good women to be concubines. It's not worth it."

“Not satisfied.”

Jia Rong chuckled.

Ping'er is a good person after all. She not only cares about Wang Xifeng, but also about Rong'er, and even about You Erjie and You Sanjie. Even though her handkerchief was taken off and her soft breasts were held by Rong Da Ye, she still tried to persuade him. She said, "It's not that I don't allow you to find a new one. There are so many maids in the East Mansion, even maids in the West Mansion, you can choose any one you like. Why bother to mess with those decent ladies?"

The maids in the two mansions are very easy to find, and most of the good-looking maids follow their masters.

Master Rong gently pulled and twisted her hair, and without responding to Ping'er's words, he leaned over to her ear and said, "My dear wife, I want to do something domineering right now. Can I borrow your clever words to help me?"

Ping'er knew that he was trying to change the subject but there was nothing she could do, so she squatted down after being coaxed for a few words.

The news that Jia Rong, You Erjie and You Sanjie were riding on the same horse not only reached Wang Xifeng's ears, but also reached Youshi's ears.

Poor Youshi really had no idea what to do. Although she tried to persuade You Erjie to keep it secret, You Erjie didn't take it seriously. So Youshi could only pretend she didn't know.

In the afternoon, Li Wan, who witnessed everything that happened at the horse farm, went to Ningguo Mansion to find Rong Ge'er.

Li Wan was not doing this for anything else, it was still about Lang'er's business.

It turned out that Jia Rong had someone build an archery course behind the charity school and invited a former archery master to lead the students in archery practice every afternoon. Unfortunately, the situation at the charity school was complicated, and although the afternoon archery course was not abandoned, it gradually became an archery game.

Jia Lan didn't like that kind of scene, so he wanted to come to Huifangyuan Archery to practice alone.

After hearing this, Jia Rong just stared quietly at the young widow Li Wan in front of him.

Li Wan rarely saw such a sharp look. She couldn't help but pull Lang Ge'er back a step, feeling a little annoyed, and said, "Rong Ge'er doesn't want to?"

It wasn't that Uncle Rong didn't want Brother Lang to come and practice, but he didn't understand why Jia Lan couldn't practice with the people from the charity school? Even if it was just to play games, what did it matter? People who were withdrawn were not welcome anywhere.

"Auntie, have you ever thought about what kind of person you want Lang Ge'er to become in the future?"

Jia Rong said this seriously, then asked someone to open the archery range, saying that Jia Lan could come to Huifang Garden to practice archery at any time, then bowed and said goodbye to Li Wan.

He really didn't want to talk to Li Wan any more, and he didn't even feel any urgency about Li Wan's task. Instead of wasting time with Li Wan, he might as well go and coax You Erjie and You Sanjie, as the You family was hosting a banquet for him tonight.

Sometimes I have to sigh that although Old Lady You is greedy for wealth and fame, she is really better at being a human being than Li Wan.

At this moment, Old Lady You was brainwashing Third Sister You, saying, "If Rong Ge'er didn't have feelings for you, why would he treat you like this? I specially invited him here today, firstly as an excuse to thank him for the gift of the horse, and secondly as an opportunity to test his mind. If he has feelings..."

You Erjie thought it would be best if the third sister was there to keep her company. After all, she couldn't bear to see her suffer outside, so she tried to persuade her, saying with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with Rong'er's appearance and character. Sister, have you forgotten how caring Rong'er was to you at the horse farm?"

Chapter 186: Steps to capture Sister You

Old Lady You said, "There are a few people like Rong'er in the world who don't bully others by taking advantage of their power and are humble and respectful to those above them and those below them. If a young master from another family had such a status and became the master of a house at such a young age, he would have long been the king of the mansion. Not to mention the women in the mansion, even the beautiful women of the relatives from the countryside would have been conspired to get married in a few days. Haven't you heard enough about such things?"

As Third Sister You listened to them, she felt less repulsed than before.

Most women are like this. They can hardly stand the long-term persuasion of those around them. If the other party is really lenient with them in every way, there will inevitably be some ripples even if they have another person in their hearts.

"After all, there is a generation gap." Third Sister You replied softly. Two figures involuntarily appeared in her mind, one was the ethereal handsome knight, and the other was the vivid and solid Ying Ge'er.

Old Lady You was a shrewd person. She knew that Third Sister's heart had softened after hearing these words, and she was immediately overjoyed. She smiled and said, "What's the big deal? We are not real relatives to begin with. It's only because Rong'er thinks highly of us that he is willing to recognize us. If it were any other family, there would be no kinship at all."

You Erjie also held Sanjie's hand and whispered, "I know what worries you, too. It's nothing more than thinking about the difficulties that elder sister is facing in the mansion. If you can settle down in the mansion, elder sister will have someone to help her, and she will be more authoritative in the future. Qin is not a powerful person. She is easy to get along with, and she has a relationship with elder sister, so she can't act arrogantly for no reason."

As they were talking and persuading each other, it was getting dark. Jia Rong came out triumphantly from Youshi's courtyard and went straight to the back porch.

A maid opened the curtain to report and hurriedly led him in.

In the room, Old Lady You, the second sister, and the third sister all had bright smiles on their faces, genuinely happy. The second sister was even more virtuous, and hurriedly ordered someone to pour tea.

The old lady said, "It's hard for you to take time out of your busy schedule to come here."

You Erjie said with a smile, "Brother Rong, come here. Why are you saying these polite words? He is only walking a few steps. Let him sit down quickly, and the maids bring the good wine."

Third Sister You saw Rong Ge'er sitting down. Perhaps because she passed by the broken window of the horse farm, she also saw Rong Ge'er as approachable, so she casually sat down next to Rong Ge'er and said, "I thought you were tied up by work and couldn't come here today. Why did you arrive only now?"

Take a building with a few broken windows, for example. If those windows are not repaired, vandals may break more windows. If there is some graffiti on a wall and it is not cleaned up, it will soon be covered with messy and unsightly things. If there are some scraps of paper on a sidewalk, there will soon be more garbage, and people will eventually take it for granted and throw the garbage on the ground. This phenomenon is the broken window effect in criminal psychology.

In interpersonal relationships, 'ice-breaking' is often used to achieve this effect, leading to changes in relationships between people.

In the end it is very simple. It is to use a seemingly normal behavior to break the 'first window' and create physical contact. From then on, the relationship between the two people will be closer psychologically, and there will be no resistance to slight normal physical contact in the future.

In fact, this method is usually used by women.

Jia Rong still remembered that in his previous life, a female star named Yang Xiaomi was the best at this trick. She would unintentionally pull a man's sleeve, or gently support a man's shoulder, and after these actions and then use a little trick, there was no man who would not be secretly moved.

Master Rong saw Third Sister You's behavior and knew that the "first window" had been broken. After taking a sip of tea, he no longer maintained his attitude as usual and said casually, "There have been a lot of things to do these past two days, and my wife is pregnant and can't take care of everything, so I went to give more instructions. Have you had dinner?"

You Erjie also sat down beside her and said, "I knew you were coming, so I ate a little just now."

Rong Ge'er knew that after breaking the first window, he would break all the windows, and then he would enter the room and leave marks on the wall. He secretly made a hook and said with a smile: "I just ate some at the Madam's place. After a busy day and having to follow those rules, it's really better to relax here. Can you accompany me to eat a little more?"

Old Lady You took the bait and quickly responded, "What's wrong with that? If you feel comfortable eating here, you can come here often in the future."

You Erjie felt that Rong Ge'er's words favored this side, and she was overjoyed. She smiled and said, "My sister and I are not full." After saying that, she hurriedly asked someone to go to the kitchen to urge for a few more hot dishes.

Soon, the hot dishes were served.

Jia Rong was not polite either, and ate a few pieces of rouge goose breast, and urged You Erjie and You Sanjie to eat as well. After eating a few mouthfuls, he asked, "Aunt, have you had enough pain these past two days?"

Third Sister You knew that he was talking about the aftereffects of riding horses in the stables, so she smiled and said, "My pain was gone after two days, but your Second Aunt is weaker, and she was still in pain until yesterday."

You Erjie spat lightly: "Is everyone like you, monkey-like?"

"Does it still hurt?" Jia Rong asked curiously, and this was just an excuse to create normal physical contact again. If someone answered that it still hurt, he would tell them which places to rub next time, and create intimacy during the demonstration. If they answered that it didn't hurt, he could also take the opportunity to tell them how to avoid it, such as moving their bodies first or where to rub to relax afterwards.

This is definitely not taking advantage of the opportunity, and you should not have the mentality of taking advantage. Instead, it is to make the other party feel that everything is going on naturally and all actions are reasonable.

After all, You Erjie lacked experience and had not yet learned all of Old Lady You's skills, so she actually replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Jia Rong spoke according to his calculations.

You Erjie unexpectedly replied, "I won't learn it, and I won't ride it in the future. You can teach your younger sister, she is most interested in riding horses."

The second sister is really stupid and dumb. She doesn't know how to behave!

Rong Ge'er was helpless and looked at the third sister. The third sister You looked serious and asked, "What should we do?"

After listening to these conversations, Old Lady You wanted to bring them together again, so she hurriedly said, "Brother Rong, teach her a lesson."

Jia Rong said with a smile, "I can't teach you this for free. You have to toast me a glass of wine. A few days ago, Second Madam Lian from the west complained about her health and moved to the east. Today, I massaged her shoulders and her body aches have been reduced a lot. I was thinking that I would set up a stall in the mansion in the future. If anyone in the family is unwell, I would charge a little money and massage her. How much are you willing to pay to learn my skills?"

Third Sister You was startled for a moment, but when she heard that it was just a massage of the shoulder, she felt that it was not impolite. She just said, "You are too greedy, you really want to make money from us."

"Oh, what a lie!" Jia Rong sighed deliberately, stood up with an embarrassed look, and said, "All right, all right, then you sit down, I won't charge you any money today and you can teach me for a while."

As he spoke, he walked behind Third Sister You, placed his hands on her thin shoulders, and gently rubbed them through her thin clothes.

When Old Lady You saw this, she was overjoyed and pretended to complain, "Just for these few tricks, Rong Ge'er is also thinking of charging you?"

You Erjie also said, "He has fallen into the eyes of money."

Third Sister You had a bit of shyness on her face, but after hearing what the two said, her shyness faded a lot. She also joked, "Who wouldn't know how to play a trick on me with these two tricks?"

Jia Rong's hands were very well behaved and did not move anywhere else. He smiled and said, "This is just a small trick to relieve shoulder pain. There are many other ways."

"Only a ghost can believe it!"

"Really?" Jia Rong tried to be naughty by applying a little force with his fingers.
