The filial son of the Red Mansion

Jia Rong wanted to roll his eyes at Liu Xianglian, so he asked hurriedly, "Second Master, can you give me an example?"

Liu Xianglian said: "Not letting others see you is hiding. Not letting others see you is attacking his eyes. Not letting others be able to hit you is attacking his feet and crotch."

"Isn't this just eye-poking and crotch-kicking?"

"It is this method. Wasn't Rong Ge very good at it before?"

"..."

Am I such a wretched person in other people's impressions? It's a waste of words.

Jia Rong simply rolled his eyes.

Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian couldn't help laughing. Xianglian consoled him, "I have a few tricks that are even better and more hidden. Rong'er, do you want to learn them?"

Of course I want to.

However, at this time, Wang Xifeng was drinking tea in Youshi's room, and Qin Keqing was accompanying her.

For some reason, Youshi felt even more uncomfortable than Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing.

Chapter 53: Disaster will happen during the Dragon Boat Festival

"Didn't you get enough rest yesterday, sister-in-law?"

Wang Xifeng drank tea in a dignified manner, her every move and gesture showed the upbringing of a rich and powerful family, and she maintained a dignified demeanor on her face and body no matter what the situation was. If someone knew her since she was a child, looking at her current appearance, it would be impossible to connect the Feng Lazi who was braver than her brother when she was a child with the dignified grandmother in front of them.

Yu-shi glanced at Wang Xifeng and said slowly, "Perhaps the weather is too hot."

She simply couldn't understand how Feng Lazi could remain so calm and self-satisfied even though she had done such a thing.

I feel even more ashamed of myself.

Yu Shi had only accidentally seen Jia Rong and Feng Er playing in the water, and she had felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Yesterday, she saw Wang Xifeng's flushed face, and she hadn't slept well all night.

Even if I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, the dream was still very strange and absurd. After waking up, I felt uncomfortable everywhere and inexplicably anxious.

It is said that Lady Zhu of Rongguo Mansion is a widow who has been faithful for many years. In fact, isn't she the same? It's just that she has been living a widow in the past years, and now she has truly become a widow.

It was a coincidence that Youshi and Li Wan were of similar age, both in their twenties. However, Li Wan was still able to take care of her son Jia Lan, while she only had a stepson who was not much younger than her.

This embarrassment has become more obvious since yesterday.

How could Rong'er really do such a thing? She is an elder, an aunt, and a aunt.

Youshi thought quietly in her heart, and then looked at Wang Xifeng, who still looked normal. Although she had a lot to say, she didn't know where to start.

Wang Xifeng did speak up, and said slowly, "Today I came to pay my respects to the old ancestor. The old ancestor specifically told me that tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I must invite you, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, to come over. She said that although the mourning period for elder brother Zhen is not over, you are her nephew's wife and great-grandson's wife. The old ancestor hates to see it lonely, so she asked you to come and have a drink during the festival."

Qin Keqing was also feeling strange at this time. She had just discovered the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong, and she was a little unsure about how to look at Wang Xifeng. After hearing this, she didn't want to go west, so she said, "We still have to follow the rules of the master's mourning period."

Wang Xifeng glanced at her and said with a strange smile, "We are all family, and we all know whether we have followed the rules or not. It is not considered as a violation of etiquette since the ancestor has spoken."

Who can really follow the rules in this kind of thing?

Not to mention Jia Rong in the east who secretly performed bad etiquette during the mourning period, even when Jia's grandmother heard that Jia Min had died, didn't she take Lin Daiyu, who was still in mourning, back to the Jia family?

Qin Keqing blushed when she heard this. She and Master Rong had done many things that violated etiquette and rules.

Youshi didn't know what to say. Not only did she turn a blind eye to Jia Rong's breaking of the rules, she even helped him to do evil.

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she stood up slowly, her face radiant and bright, a world of difference from Qin Keqing and Youshi. She said, "I won't bother you any more. If you don't need me tomorrow, I'll come back and invite you."

Yu naturally agreed.

Wang Xifeng also noticed that Qin Keqing looked sad, so she said, "Will Rong'er see me off? We can talk on the way."

The wind in May is cool, always carrying a chill, as if it might rain at any time.

In the days before the rainy season in the north, when there is no wind, the weather is dry, which often makes people feel uneasy or have wild thoughts.

They didn't know what Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing said to each other, but the maids just felt that Madam Xiao Rong had finally cleared away some of the gloom, and it seemed that the day had become clear and cool.

Jia Rong was sweating all over.

Originally, Liu Xianglian had just wrestled with him in the archery path, but later he learned a few dirty moves, so he specially called a clever servant from outside. The servant was also excited, and in the afternoon he limped away with two taels of silver, holding his legs together.

It happened that Baoyu, Jia Lan, Jia Huan and others came over and saw this scene. They all looked at Jia Rong with strange eyes.

Grass!

I'm not Jia Lian, why are you looking at me like that?

I make others get hurt in front, while Jia Lian makes others get hurt in the back.

Jia Rong cursed inwardly, bowed to Baoyu and Jia Huan, and then greeted Jia Lan. Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian were even more delighted to see Baoyu, and they didn't care about archery and wrestling, and hurriedly urged Baoyu to play the game of throwing pots.

Jia Rong and Jia Lan did not join in, and were busy pulling their bows. Only Jia Huan tried to join in with Feng Ziying, Baoyu and the others. Fortunately, they were all respectable people who did not say anything bad and joined in the fun.

Unfortunately, Jia Huan always wanted to compete with Baoyu in everything. Although Baoyu was a silver-plated spear head, he was proficient in all kinds of games. How could Jia Huan compare with him?

After Jia Huan lost several times, he became more and more angry. Finally, he ran away because of inexplicable grievance.

Feng Ziying looked at Jia Huan's back and said strangely, "Brothers in your family are different from those in other families."

Baoyu didn't understand the meaning, nor did he care what Jia Huan thought, and still pulled Feng Ziying to compete.

After losing several games, Jia Huan felt that he was inferior to Baoyu in every way. He also felt that not only his family members liked Baoyu, but also outsiders treated him and Baoyu differently. He went back to his room and found his mother Aunt Zhao, saying a lot of bad things about Baoyu.

Tanchun was in front of Aunt Zhao at the time. After hearing this, she couldn't help but say, "It's just a game. Why are you so angry?"

Aunt Zhao's anger suddenly rose up, and she pointed at Tanchun's nose and scolded, "Huan'er is your real brother, but you don't side with your brother, but side with the one born by Madam. Do you really think you are the daughter born from Madam's belly?"

But Wang Xifeng had already returned to Rong Mansion by then. After chatting with Lady Wang in her room, she came out and heard some noise in the east wing, so she walked over and happened to hear Aunt Zhao scolding Tanchun.

She frowned and said coldly, "Whether she was born from Madam's belly or not, she is also Madam's daughter, a decent girl in the mansion."

When Aunt Zhao saw Wang Xifeng standing at the door, she was so frightened that she dared not say anything.

Wang Xifeng ignored her, put on a smile and said to Tanchun, "Come here, third sister. I have something to ask of you." Sister Feng emphasized the word "sister" very much, as if she was warning her of something. She made an excuse and took Tanchun with her and left without looking back.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao became even more furious, and she cursed Wang Xifeng, Tanchun, Baoyu and others with gnashing teeth. She cursed for a long time but still couldn't calm down, so she cursed Jia Huan. It was not until the evening when Jia Zheng came to sleep that Aunt Zhao changed her face to a soft and charming one.

When the fun stopped late at night, Aunt Zhao lay on her side beside Jia Zheng's pillow and complained that Jia Rong and others were playing pot-tossing at the archery range in Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "It's nothing serious."

Aunt Zhao added, "I heard that Baoyu is here too, and he doesn't even want to read in order to play."

Jia Zheng's eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of coldness. He said with a suppressed anger, "I'll ask him tomorrow."

At this time, Baoyu was also very depressed. He had not seen Qin Zhong for a long time. Today, he asked Jia Rong about it and found out that Qin Zhong was studying at the Qin family and was afraid that he would not come to Ningguo Mansion this year.

Baoyu tossed and turned in bed for a while, thinking carefully: How about asking Ziying to find an excuse to take me out of the house and go to Qinghe Town to find Jingqing?

He was a man who did whatever he thought. Early the next morning, he asked someone to take a letter to Feng Ziying, and then went to Qinghe Town with Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian and Lai Shangrong to find Qin Zhong.

On this day, the Dragon Boat Festival, Jia Rong was alone in the archery range wrestling with a servant. In the afternoon, when he came out of the archery range, he ran into Youshi who was returning from a banquet at the West Mansion.

Youshi had her hair in a high bun, with white flower ornaments, a plain white patterned jacket with a front opening, and a light-colored pleated skirt. She looked respectable and elegant, yet not too flashy to break the rules. Her delicate hands were supported by her maid Yindie, her cheeks flushed from the alcohol, and her eyes a little blurry.

"Rong'er?"

Yu-shi was startled suddenly, looking at Jia Rong, who was covered in sweat, a strong man. Then she looked down at Tianxiang Tower, and could not help but think of the beautiful face of Wang Xifeng that day.

Chapter 54: The Strange Yu

"Madam, have you drunk too much?"

Jia Rong looked at the strange expression on Youshi's face in confusion, then looked at himself, but there was nothing else on his clothes.

baffling!

However, Youshi's eyes were blurry, her mind was suddenly tense, and her breathing became rapid. Her white-patterned jacket was rising and falling, as if she had encountered something extremely stressful and frightening.

Rong'er...why is he coming here?

In her eyes, Jia Rong seemed to be emitting some kind of wild evil spirit, which was dangerous and terrifying.

"Why didn't Madam bring more people with her today?" Jia Rong saw that Youshi seemed to be too drunk to stand steadily, so he hurriedly called Feng'er to help support her. "Help Madam to rest in the building first, I'll send someone to bring some sobering tea."

"No... not entering the building."

Youshi quickly waved her hand to refuse, feeling extremely nervous. She remembered that Jia Rong and Wang Xifeng had done something in this building two days ago.

If I entered the building, wouldn't that mean I had won Rong'er's favor?

There was a gleam of anger in Rong'er's eyes. Whatever he wanted to do, how could I escape now?

As Youshi thought about this, she felt more and more that Jia Rong's eyes were wandering wantonly over her. Her heart was beating rapidly, and she felt as if it was going to jump out of her throat at any time.

How could Rong'er be just like her father? Her father had once stolen Master Jing's second wife, so was Rong'er going to learn the same thing?

Just thinking about it.

Jia Rong suddenly stepped forward and said, "I'll ask the maids to help Madam back to her room!"

Youshi had experienced too many things in the Ningguo Mansion in the past few years, and had seen countless filth. When she heard this, she was shocked and anxiously thought: If this is true, if this is true, they are all the same kind of people, all with evil intentions, how can I stay in the family in the future?

Yushi shook her head secretly again.

I should have thought of it earlier, should have thought of it earlier. When had Rong'er ever been so filial before? It turned out that all her filial behavior had a reason, she was learning from her father to come up with dirty ideas.

Now that the master's body is still warm and he is still in mourning, how can Rong'er...

Youshi was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her eyes were filled with grief and anger. I am your father's second wife. Although I am not much older than you, I cannot do this.

She thought about it again, and remembered that Wang Xifeng had been taken advantage of by Jia Rong, and she felt even more miserable. She was so angry and drunk that she couldn't stand still.

Jia Rong just thought that Youshi was worried about being helpless in the future. He sighed to himself: She is also a miserable woman. She has neither given birth to an heir nor a family with a strong support. It is indeed easy for her to have wild thoughts at this time.

"Help the lady upstairs first and take good care of her."

He looked back and saw no trace of Qin Keqing in Huifang Garden.

Then he asked, "Why didn't my wife come back?"

Yindie replied, "The eldest lady was kept by the old lady to talk, and the mistress came back early because Lian's second lady persuaded her to drink a few more cups."

Jia Rong nodded. Ruizhu had gone with Keqing today, and with Wang Xifeng present, there was nothing to worry about. So he just asked Feng'er, Yindie and a few maids to help Youshi back to the front yard.

He didn't think much about it, just thought that Youshi was drunk, so he went back to Conglutang to rest.

But Youshi was helped back to her room and fell into a dream. She didn't know what she was dreaming about. After a while, she suddenly shouted, "Rong'er, don't!"
