The filial son of the Red Mansion

It turned out that I was specifically asked to come and audit the class to learn how the assignments were made.

Jia Rong's eyes lit up, and all of a sudden, even his sleepiness disappeared. He was moved, extremely moved, and his heart was moved.

The more he looked at Wang Xifeng, the more he liked her.

Where can you find such a good person? She is so considerate. Not only what happened today touched him, but almost everything in the past few days touched him. He really had the urge to hold Wang Xifeng in his arms and give her a big kiss.

He said with emotion: "You have worked hard these days, auntie."

Wang Xifeng nonchalantly sent the maids and servants away, leaving Ping'er behind. She said to Jia Rong, "Come sit upstairs, and I'll tell you a few things about what's going on outside."

Jia Rong would never refuse the request to go to the kang no matter what the time.

He was not too presumptuous and chose to sit on the other side of the kang table. He hurriedly said, "What is it? Please teach me, auntie."

It wasn't a big deal, just some details of foreign affairs that Jia Rong needed to pay more attention to. Perhaps Jia Rong was too sleepy, and he dozed off like a fisherman after talking for a while.

Wang Xifeng didn't care and simply stopped talking. Seeing Jia Rong fall asleep on the table, she hesitated for a moment before reaching out to pull Jia Rong's cloak to cover him more tightly.

After doing all this, her hand stopped in front of Jia Rong's face.

Wang Xifeng's expression changed several times, and she stared at Jia Rong, not knowing what she was thinking.

Maybe sleepiness is contagious.

She stared at it for a while, and then she felt sleepy, so she withdrew her hand and yawned softly. She had indeed slept too late last night, and got up early again today. She called Ping'er to get her cloak, and leaned against the wall, closing her beautiful eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Jia Rong suddenly woke up and remembered that he had to go to Youshi's place. He saw Wang Xifeng dozing off beside him, and Ping'er was talking to someone outside.

"Aunt? Good aunt?"

Jia Rong called out twice, and seeing that Fengjie didn't even blink, he was sure that Fengjie was sleeping soundly. A bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He looked around to make sure that there was no one else in the room, and quietly stood up and passed by the kang table to appreciate Wang Xifeng's beauty from a close distance.

If I kiss her secretly at this time, will I be discovered?

Jia Rong pondered inwardly. His heart was pounding, and he felt a little palpitating. The more he thought about it, the more he felt the urge. He slowly moved his head closer, holding his breath, and approached those seductive lips little by little.

soft!

Very soft and warm.

Without lingering for too long, he kissed her and then pulled back. His heart was beating like a drum. Seeing that Wang Xifeng really didn't wake up, he wanted to do it again.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching, and he quickly sat up and pretended to have just woken up. He saw Ping'er leading a few maids to deliver food, and he was very lucky. Seeing that Ping'er didn't look suspicious, he quickly got off the kang and said, "Sister, tell aunt later that I have something to do and I'm going to the mistress's place."

After saying this, Jia Rong quickly slipped away.

At this moment, Wang Xifeng suddenly opened her eyes.

Ping Erh asked, "Is Madam awake? Madam Zhen sent someone to bring food. Master Xiao Rong went to Madam Zhen's place for something."

Wang Xifeng nodded, cursed softly, and then touched her lips lightly with a complicated expression.

He asked Ping'er to put the food on the table, and they ate together without distinguishing between master and servant. At this time, another maid came in with a lacquer box.

"Master said this is a secret dessert that has medicinal properties that can replenish qi and warm the body, so he specially asked me to bring it to Second Madam Lian as a gift."

Wang Xifeng then remembered that Jia Rong had indeed said a few days ago that he would bring her some medicinal food and snacks to nourish her. When she saw what the maid took out of the lacquer box, her heart somehow warmed up, and a gentle smile slowly formed at the corners of her mouth.

In You's main room.

When Youshi looked at Jia Rong in front of her, she suddenly remembered the noise she heard outside the mourning hall last night.

After all, she was not Jia Rong's biological mother, and the age difference was not too big, and they had not been close in the past. At this moment, she could not help but feel a little ashamed and embarrassed.

"Have you had your lunch yet, Rong'er?"

Chapter 29: Wang Xifeng's Night Summon

Where did you have breakfast?

Last night, I stayed in the mourning hall with Keqing all night. I returned to my room with Keqing at dawn. As soon as I lay down, I was called over by Wang Xifeng. Although I took a short nap, I tasted the rouge on Wang Xifeng's lips.

But can you eat enough of the rouge on other people's lips? It's still just a small bite.

"My second aunt called me to ask some questions, and I remembered Madam's instructions, so I came to Madam's place before I had time to eat."

Jia Rong replied, looking at the food in front of Youshi. To be honest, he was really hungry.

Although the things in his system warehouse could fill his stomach, he thought about it all night yesterday and suspected that the reason why the blood was swelling and boiling in a certain part of his body from time to time was not only because of practicing the book "The Secret of Sex Techniques", but might also be related to the supplements he secretly ate every day.

This is already the age of youthful impulse. If you practice martial arts and take tonics every day, how can you not be too excited?

That's why once I have some free time, I think of finding someone to relieve my stress.

Although he secretly cooled down his heat with Qin Keqing last night, he was still hot inside. Although those things could strengthen the body, he didn't dare to eat them casually.

After hearing this, Youshi asked her maid Yindie to bring the bowl and chopsticks and asked Jia Rong to eat together.

Perhaps Youshi had something to say, for she stopped eating after only two bites. Jia Rong didn't eat much either, leaving a large table full and calling Yindie and the other maids to come and eat.

The two went into the inner room to talk.

You Shi hesitated and said, "I called you here because of my two sisters. I want to ask Rong'er and your wife what they think."

Jia Rong could clearly understand the meaning behind Youshi's words.

He didn't care. After all, before his death, Jia Zhen invited Old Lady You, Second Sister You and Third Sister You to live in Ning Mansion, and Old Lady You had always held this idea.

Although the mother and the second and third sisters of the You family have no blood relationship with You, they are also You's family members according to etiquette. It's just a matter of three more pairs of chopsticks. Can he really drive them away because of such a small matter?

It doesn't have to be.

His reputation for filial piety cannot be ruined.

Besides, after two or three years, You Erjie and You Sanjie grew up to be graceful and elegant ladies, and they became a beautiful sight in the inner house of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Rong's main point is filial piety. He said, "Old Madam You and the aunts are not outsiders. They are in a difficult situation now. It would be good to clean up a quiet courtyard for them to live in and send two or three smart maids to serve them. This will make the relatives closer, and the lady will have more companions to chat with."

Seeing that he was thinking of her wholeheartedly, Youshi was slightly moved and was about to speak.

Jia Rong added: "Whether the master is here or not, Madam will always be the Madam of our Ning Mansion. The children and the daughter-in-law are still young and don't understand a lot. I hope Madam will pay more attention to the affairs of the inner house."

He has a lot of ideas in his mind.

The inner house of Ningguo Mansion cannot be controlled by one person alone. If Qin Keqing fails to manage the inner house in the future, at least Youshi can help. It's not that I don't trust Qin Keqing, but different positions lead to different ways of thinking. Everything must be prepared in advance, and only with checks and balances and supervision can you sleep peacefully.

It's impossible for Wang Xifeng to be responsible for everything in the east.

Why not take care of those trivial matters in the inner house with the help of Yushi?

When Youshi heard this, she not only felt respected, but also looked at Jia Rong with new eyes. She even suspected that Jia Rong's previous stubborn character was just an act, but when she thought of the noise in the mourning hall last night, she gave up the idea.

If he wasn't a fool, why would he go to the clean room at this time to do that?

It is simply ruining the family's reputation and undermining filial piety.

Yu Shi felt very embarrassed for a while, and with red ears, she said, "Rong Er and my wife should also be aware of the impact, how can they make trouble in any place?"

Jia Rong also scratched his ear and said with a simple smile, "Madam has discovered it."

After all, Youshi was a young woman, not so thick-skinned, and not as temperamental as Wang Xifeng, so she was always a little shy when talking about these things. Moreover, the other party was her stepson, who was less than ten years younger than her, and she felt even more strange.

She held back her shame and said, "It's better for me to see you, but it's even more shameless for the servants to see you. I know you are young and newly married, and neither of you would want to leave the other for a while, so I don't blame you. But this is the mourning period for your master, so at least go back to your room first, even if it's sneaky."

I didn’t expect that Mrs. You was quite open-minded.

Jia Rong nodded gently and said with a smile: "I will pay attention to it in the future."

Youshi thought that since she had already spoken, she might as well say everything she wanted to say at once. "Even in the bedroom, you need to be careful. Getting pregnant and having a child during the mourning period will always affect your reputation. If the palace knows about it, or if the imperial censors hear about it, it will be another disaster."

Jia Rong was naturally prepared for this kind of thing.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I'm careful and won't get pregnant during the period of mourning for the master."

After hearing what he said, Youshi really had no choice but to say, "You must pay attention to this matter, whether it is your wife or the maids in the room."

After saying this, he let Jia Rong go back.

Just now, Youshi touched her face and felt that her cheeks were burning.

Jia Rong went back to his room and had a good sleep. When he woke up, it was already dark and the lights were on in the room. He felt not only hungry, but also had a flag raised high to show that he was very hungry.

Unfortunately, there was no one else in the room except Baozhu.

Jia Rong suddenly lost interest. Shouldn't a personal maid be two years older than her master? He really couldn't understand why Keqing had an immature maid by her side.

He pursed his lips and asked, "Where's your grandma?"

Baozhu hurriedly helped him get up and change clothes, and replied, "Grandma and Sister Feng'er were called away by Second Madam Lian."

Why did Wang Xifeng call Qin Keqing?

Jia Rong decided to fill his stomach first before going to take a look. Unexpectedly, just as he finished eating, Qin Keqing came back with Feng'er and Ruizhu.

After asking, he found out that Wang Xifeng had called Qin Keqing over to learn how to manage the inner house from her. She also took advantage of the evening when the wives and daughters-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion returned the keys to Qin Keqing to recognize their faces one by one, so that she could be used for future tasks.

"She likes to meddle in other people's business."

"Second Aunt is very capable." Qin Keqing looked impressed by Wang Xifeng. "Just now, a maid was late, and without saying a word, Second Aunt had someone drag her out and beat her with 20 boards. She scared all the maids so much that they dared not move."

Jia Rong said hypocritically, "On the first day, she established her authority. This is a common way to control her subordinates. Even if no one was late, she would find a reason to beat someone with twenty sticks."

Everyone can be wise after the event, but there are not many people who can think of a solution and implement it at the right time.

Qin Keqing looked like a fangirl of Wang Xifeng at the moment, and she said with a sly smile, "Second aunt wants you to hurry over as well. If you're late, you'll probably get 20 strokes of the cane."

"I'll give you twenty slaps first!"

Jia Rong smiled and embraced Keqing, then raised his hand and patted her. Qin Keqing screamed shyly, "Oh, my aunt really asked you to come over."

He was slightly startled, "Really?"

Feng'er nodded, and quickly suppressed her inner heat, and decided to beat Qin Keqing with the stick again in the evening.

Puzzled, "Aunt, why are you looking for me at this time?"

Chapter 30: Wang Xifeng’s Strange Mood

Even Jia Rong couldn't guess what Wang Xifeng was thinking, so naturally others couldn't guess it either.

When he arrived at the main building, Feng Ji was talking to Zheng Ping'er, discussing which daughter-in-law of the Ning Mansion had not done something well today, and which one had neglected something. The two planned to go and inspect the key points in person tomorrow.

When they saw Jia Rong come in, Ping Erh smiled and said, "Young Master Rong must have had enough sleep today. He looks much more energetic than when I saw him this morning."
