The filial son of the Red Mansion

"Fuck your mother's fart."

Wang Xifeng spat and quickly told him to take his hands off her plump buttocks.

She didn't know why, after the pain she suffered that night, she had two embarrassing dreams even after the swelling subsided. Today, this bastard hugged her for a while, and the numbness and itchiness in her bones even caused a secret dampness.

This kind of thing had never happened before, and it made her feel uneasy. Li La stared at Jia Rong fiercely, pulled out a towel from her clothes, and pretended to be tough and said, "Wipe your stinky mouth."

"I can't see it."

Jia Rong was speechless. Seeing Wang Xifeng lower her head and help him, he was secretly happy again. While Sister Feng was wiping his mouth, he quickly kissed her white and tender fingers.

Sister Feng said unhappily, "Next time I won't wash my hands after using the toilet, let's see if you still kiss me."

Grass!

Why do you have to disgust people on purpose?

Although he knew that Wang Xifeng would definitely wash her hands, after hearing this, Jia Rong still lost all desire. The heat in his body also subsided a lot, and he felt more uncomfortable than having a fly in his mouth.

Seeing him like this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel proud again. She said, "Next time you do something naughty, I will disgust you."

At this time, Ningguo Mansion was also making preparations to welcome the filial son home.

Youshi and Keqing asked people to take care of the Jia family ancestral hall and tidied up Conglu Hall. In Conglu Hall, Youshi finally pulled Qin Keqing aside to say what she had been holding back for a long time.

Youshi said, "They say the two houses are one family, but the east is the east and the west is the west. We respect the west for their seniority, but we have our own way of living after all."

Although Qin Keqing was soft-hearted, she was very smart. She knew what Youshi was talking about in a blink of an eye. It was nothing more than that she had been following Wang Xifeng all the time, making it seem that the things happening in the inner house of the East Palace were also related to Wang Xifeng.

Youshi said, "The old lady is of a high enough generation, and she is also the wife of a duke. When the old lady was in charge, I heard that our two families were closer than they are now. Back then, the old lady didn't always interfere in the affairs of the east. Your second aunt is a person who likes to show off. Although she has means, she is only the aunt of the west after all."

Youshi had been holding these words in for a long time, but it was not easy for her to tell Jia Rong, so she had to ask Qin Keqing to do it.

Qin Keqing also understood the meaning and nodded softly, "I'll remember it."

When Youshi saw her humble and submissive look, she thought of Wang Xifeng's strange behavior over the past three months and was really afraid that Qin Keqing would be bullied by Wang Xifeng.

Helplessly, she said, "You are a very meticulous person. You will think about everything for days. I can't say many things, for fear that you will misunderstand. Now that Rong'er has returned home, you should show your maternal grandmother's aura. After all, you are the one who will manage this family."

Qin Keqing listened to everything with an open mind.

Yu Shi suddenly sighed and said slowly, "There won't be any major events in our mansion this year. Even the old master's birthday will be simple. Just prepare it boldly and don't worry about anything going wrong."

Qin Keqing kept the words in her heart. She secretly thought:

What else could I do? As soon as I entered the house, the master of the house passed away. Although the wife of the family treated me kindly, the elders in the west never blamed or made things difficult for me. The old lady even came to see me and comfort me a few days ago.

Aunt Lian was even more enthusiastic and she took the initiative to teach me many things.

I am not as lucky as my second aunt, who has an uncle who is a high-ranking official and an aunt who is my aunt. I have people to take care of me inside and outside.

She and the master had known each other since childhood and had a very close relationship, which was even known to the maids in both mansions.

I trust her, maybe more than I trust me.

How can I compare with this friendship that we have had since childhood?

Qin Keqing's inferiority and grievances slowly surged into her heart, and her eyes gradually turned red. She also had a bad guess in her heart, but it was too absurd, even she herself did not dare to believe it. She just muttered to herself: That late night, the master stayed alone in the backyard where the second aunt lived for a long, long time.

A man and a woman who have been friends since childhood and are of similar age would make anyone suspicious.

What's more, how could a new daughter-in-law who had just entered the family not be sensitive to this?

It's not just Qin Keqing who is sensitive, Youshi is the same, which is why I said this just now.

Mrs. Wang of the West Mansion was fine. Although she also disliked Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong being too close, she didn't think about it that way. She just thought that Wang Xifeng liked to worry about trivial matters, so she let her do whatever she wanted.

Xing did have some complaints.

Her complaints came from the fact that Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng were in charge of the household. She complained that Jia She, the wife of the first wife, was not favored, and she, the wife of the first wife, had no power, and all household affairs were handled by the Wang family.

I even complained that Wang Xifeng was the daughter-in-law of the first wife, but she was closer to the people of the second wife. It seemed that in Wang Xifeng's eyes, apart from the old lady and Baoyu, there were only the aunts and aunts of the second wife, and she didn't take the mother-in-law of the first wife into consideration at all.

Apart from these two people, the only one who was so thoughtful was Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao was originally a maid, but because she was as beautiful as a flower, she was taken into Jia Zheng's room. She was also very knowledgeable about women and good at dressing, and was the most favored among all the aunts in Jia Zheng's room. Aunt Zhao also gave birth to a daughter and a son for Jia Zheng, the daughter was named Tanchun and the son was named Jia Huan; she was proud of this and also resentful.

But the old lady of the West Mansion doted on Baoyu, who was born with a jade in his mouth, because her second son Jia Zhu died early.

The first and second wives of the West Mansion, Zhu Da Niang, Lian Er Niang and others were all very considerate to Baoyu, not to mention the snobbish servants in the mansion, who acted as if Baoyu was the only decent boy in the mansion.

Aunt Zhao was always resentful because of this, and she couldn't stand Wang Xifeng's ostentatious attitude. These days, when she heard Wang Xifeng helping the East more, she slandered her a lot.

No matter what outsiders thought, Wang Xifeng returned to Ningguo Mansion smoothly, and there was no extra sticky substance in her body.

With regret in his heart, Jia Rong went to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors.

Wang Xifeng went to look for Youshi and Keqing in a spring breeze.

No matter how much dissatisfaction Youshi had with Wang Xifeng in private, the atmosphere was extremely friendly when they met. They both maintained their own dignity and she even led Keqing to thank Fengjie repeatedly.

Wang Xifeng's eyes slanted slightly, but she still looked proud, and said meaningfully, "Don't blame me for showing off. I am very grateful to you. The matter is done, and you can handle the rest by yourselves. I have to go and report to the old lady, so I won't chat with you any more."

In the ancestral hall, Jia Rong offered sacrifices to his ancestors and then went to Conglu Hall alone.

This will be where he will live for the next year.

One side is close to the ancestral temple, and the other side faces the water. The courtyard is also very spacious, and there are already some archery targets inside. Outside the courtyard are bamboo forests, banana trees, and a corridor along the water. It is indeed a good place to live in seclusion.

All I'm missing is a beautiful lady to keep me company.

Jia Rong sighed.

Qin Keqing led Feng'er, Ruizhu and Baozhu in from outside the courtyard. This idiot suddenly came to his senses and laughed secretly: We have already returned to the mansion, are you still worried about whether there is anyone to accompany you? Do you still need Wang Xifeng to cover up and make excuses?

Haha. Today is the first night back home, so we need to exercise properly.

I haven't seen my wife Keqing for three months. She has lost weight. It's really heartbreaking.

He secretly rubbed his hands together, and said with great joy, "Why is my wife here?"

Chapter 46: Good Wife

Qin Keqing walked slowly in front of Jia Rong and looked at the master carefully, with an unknown amount of sorrow and emotion welling up in her heart.

She suppressed her grievance and said softly, "Madam said that Master must have someone to take care of him, and the other maids in the mansion are afraid that they will be clumsy, so I brought Feng'er and the others with me."

Jia Rong was extremely shocked.

Why is it different from what Wang Xifeng said?

Wang Xifeng said that mourning was an absolutely hard time, everything was kept simple, and there was not even a maid to take care of her. Why did Qin Keqing bring Feng'er, Ruizhu, and Baozhu here now?

Jia Rong blinked quickly, knowing that now was not the time to find out who was lying. Seeing Keqing's expression, his heart was moved for no reason, and he immediately embraced her.

"Good grandma, if you bring them all here, you will be left with no one to serve you."

"There are so many maids in the courtyard, how could there be no one to serve them?"

Qin Keqing replied. The moment her body was embraced, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and crystal tears rolled in her eyes. She didn't know why, but she just wanted to cry in Jia Rong's arms.

"Who bullied our Ke'er?" Jia Rong felt indescribable pain when he saw this. He held the delicate girl in his arms tighter with his fiery hands, and gently wiped the corner of Ke'er's eyes with his slender fingers. He said kindly: "Just tell me, I will make the decision for Ke'er."

Qin Keqing had no chance to express her doubts, and she felt that even if Second Aunt Lian really had something going on with the master, she had no right to interfere.

It’s just that the grievances are lingering in my heart.

Keqing sniffed her delicate little nose and tried to force a smile. "Ke'er couldn't hold back her tears when she thought about the suffering that Master had endured outside for three months."

Although the three months in Tiekan Temple were somewhat monotonous, it was not a hardship at all.

When Jia Rong heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by a soft blow in his heart.

Damn it, such a good wife, why did she have to meet a scumbag like me.

Ugh!

The more I look at her, the more I feel distressed. Jia Rong thought to himself, and could no longer resist the urge to cover her cherry-like mouth. His hot hands caressed Keqing's back, and her curvy body moved in his arms like a shy mermaid.

His arms were around Keqing's thin waist, and he pulled her delicate body close to his arms. It was not until Keqing suddenly shrank back and hummed that the atmosphere was ruined.

Jia Rong looked down and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, my dear wife. It just hasn't seen you for three months. It can't wait to greet you."

Qin Keqing's eyebrows and eyes were red, her face was as if stained with rouge, and her lips were red and tender. She felt ashamed and said angrily, "It's still early. If someone comes over, I will lose face."

It was better when it was early in the morning. As soon as it got dark, Qin Keqing went back to the front.

Jia Rong was about to hold Keqing in his arms, but nodded and said, "She is a little excited. Don't worry, my wife. No one will come here at this time."

Qin Keqing half-reluctantly accepted his embrace again, lowering her eyebrows and saying, "The old lady and two aunts of the You family live in the mansion. The master has just returned, and they may come to talk to the master, and the madam as well. If any of them sees me, I will be too embarrassed to do that."

Not right, not right.

It’s very different from what Wang Xifeng said.

Jia Rong was puzzled and asked, "Didn't they say that during a period of mourning one should not see outsiders, not even family members?"

Qin Keqing was stunned in his arms for a while, then said, "Master, who told you that? It is true that you don't see outsiders, don't leave the house, and don't live in the inner courtyard during mourning. But how can you say you don't interact with your family members?"

Damn, no wonder Wang Xifeng had such a playful expression on her face when she said this.

It turns out that girl was lying.

Jia Rong pointed to the archery targets in the courtyard and asked, "Why are they placed here?"

Qin Keqing replied, "Second Aunt said that Master must practice archery when he returns home. Since he will be living in Conglutang for the next year, she has placed a few targets in the yard so that Master will remember to practice archery every day when he wakes up."

Ningguo Mansion does have an archery range specifically for practicing archery, located at the foot of Tianxiang Tower.

Wang Xifeng, this girl, is so close to him, yet she still wants to play tricks on him. Jia Rong was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Now he finally understood why Feng'er, Ruizhu and Baozhu were called here.

There is no such thing as keeping everything simple.

Even if there is, only those who are famous for their filial piety can do it.

Are we like that kind of filial son?

Just because Jia Zhen died, she didn't want the maid to take care of her? She didn't want to be intimate with others? She just stayed in her room and ate cold soup and cold dishes every day?

Neuropathy!

I will go to Rongguo Mansion to settle accounts with Wang Xifeng tomorrow.

Jia Rong's eyes sparkled. Qin Keqing said, "Madam said that we can't go west this year. Although we are a family, we still have to follow the rules. First, to avoid some people saying it's unlucky, and second, it's not good for outsiders to see you go out."

So this is ah!
