The filial son of the Red Mansion

Why are there two people shouting for help?

Chen Ruiwen looked closely and saw Jia Rong and Qiu Jiheng falling off their horses together in the chaotic crowd in the distance.

Jia Rong took Qiu Jiheng as a scapegoat.

"Help!" Jia Rong shouted in panic, put one hand on Qiu Jiheng's collarbone, and pulled Qiu Jiheng to block other people's legs.

"Rong... Rong'er, let go." Qiu Jiheng was like a mute eating bitter herbs. Not only was his collarbone held, but his flexor bones were also held. He couldn't escape. But Jia Rong, the damn bastard, was hunched over and shouting for help.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Ziying and Shen Nian also rushed up with dozens of people, and the scene became even more chaotic.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I'm here, please save me." Jia Rong grabbed Qiu Jiheng's bag of offspring, bent over and pulled Qiu Jiheng towards Shen Nian, who was like a god of war.

Qiu Jiheng also had powerful helpers. Soon hundreds of people were on their horses. When they separated, Qiu Jiheng curled up on the ground and cried bitterly.

Seeing this scene, Jia Rong innocently pulled the four princes and eight dukes and their close friends to thank them: "Oh, I was scared to death. Fortunately, my uncles came in time, otherwise the Ningguo Mansion would be extinct."

When Qiu Jiheng heard the word "unprecedented", the pain became even worse.

Feng Tang and Chen Ruiwen heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that everything had quieted down in the distance and that Jia Rong was also safe and sound.

When hunting, small frictions are inevitable, and only with frictions can one show one's bravery.

Unfortunately, after such a commotion, Jia Rong's performance was doomed to be bad. Feng Ziying, Shen Nian and the others were afraid that others would come rushing over, so they followed Jia Rong and chased the elk.

Jia Rong saw a guy with a [Level 6 Treasure Chest] on his head among the crowd of people hunting elk on the opposite side, and saw that the people on his side were similar to those on the opposite side, and suddenly he became excited.

"Shall we go up?"

"Let him go, we'll go hunt foxes in the back." Shen Nian made a prompt decision, told everyone to turn around and leave.

Although their group had a good harvest, it was not much after each family had it. When it came time to count, Jia Rong saw that he only had three weasels, and he looked at the Prince Zhongshun who was in the front with envy.

Sure enough, Prince Zhongshun won first place and was kneeling waiting for the award.

Qiu Jiheng is even more miserable than Jia Rong, he only has one rabbit.

However, the atmosphere seemed a little off.

The tenth-level treasure chest and the ninth-level treasure chest came out, one was the emperor, and the other was the loyal and obedient king. They walked down to look at the city and wanted to reward the most courageous brother.

Jia Rong whispered to the servants beside him, "Did you hear anything?"

The servant shook his head.

Jia Rong seemed to hear someone muttering something about the vacuum mother, but he didn't think about it. He just looked at the emperor a few meters away, wondering if he could get a level 10 treasure chest by taking out a Western musket at this distance.

Suddenly, several figures led by Prince Zhongshun jumped out and ran straight towards the emperor.

In a flash, the guards with spears stabbed those people like sieves.

Jia Rong was stunned for a moment. He quickly drew out the goose-feather knife from his waist, pretended to rush forward, blocked the guards, and shouted: "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor."

The guards behind him glanced at him speechlessly.

This idiot... the assassin is already dead, and he's still trying to take credit for it?

Jia Rong didn't care about that and whispered to the guards, "Brother, don't be afraid. I'm the best in the review and I'm very powerful."

We have soft armor made of gold thread, and can't be hurt by swords or knives. This is a perfect time to show it off.

Chapter 64: Xue Baochai’s mission begins?

The hunting at Tiewang Mountain was finally over. Although there were a few minor incidents during the process, it was actually quite smooth. However, the matter at Tiewang Mountain was not over yet. The assassins of the emperor were brought by the prince of Zhongshun, who was the emperor's closest and most trusted brother.

What will be the final result and what will be the impact?

No one knows and no one dares to discuss it.

However, Jia Rong's hands and feet were getting colder as the days became warmer.

During this period of time, he really realized how powerful Shen Nian was. He also thought carefully that unless he took out a western musket to attack, he would never be able to defeat Shen Nian.

Although the two had a bad relationship before, he really helped me in Tiewang Mountain. You can't just use a musket to attack me!

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.

He bowed, the smile on his face brighter than a rose.

"Brother-in-law... no, Uncle Shen. Now that the hunting is over, I got a message from the mansion saying something urgent, so I have to go back immediately. We'll meet again next time if we're lucky."

Feng Ziying knew what he was up to, so he suppressed his laughter and said, "Rong not only won first place in the review, but was also praised by the current emperor as 'courageous'. Why don't you invite us to Ning Mansion for a drink?"

Jia Rong's eyes moved rapidly, and he laughed and said, "Family matters are urgent. When the dust settles, I will invite my uncles to come to the mansion to have a talk."

You want to beat me up while I'm drunk? No way.

He bowed again, led the four strong men and ran away in a hurry.

I gained a lot from this trip, but unfortunately I didn't get some high-level treasure chests.

Jia Rong was not in a hurry either. The position of Dragon Guard was already a foregone conclusion. So why would he be afraid of not being able to find high-level treasure chests when he was on duty in the palace?

As I thought about it, the smile on my lips became even brighter.

Life is so beautiful!

However, the news that Jia Rong ranked first in the review had already spread throughout the capital city, shocking the entire capital.

There were even all kinds of outrageous rumors.

Some people say that Jia Zhen has a good way of educating his children, and the story is very detailed. It is said that the tradition of the Jia family is that talents are born under the stick. As long as the stick is beaten hard enough, there is no need to worry about the children not making progress. If a stick like Jia Rong can be beaten into a talent, who else can't be a talent?

If someone objected to this, they would immediately present the facts, saying that in the past month, Master Jia Zheng had been beating Master Bao whenever he had no reason to do so. Master Bao's screams could be heard in the back streets of Ningrong, and even the Duke of Guo could not stop him.

"What? If you don't believe me, go buy a cane and try it. It's not expensive. The same cane as Mr. Zheng in Rongguo Mansion only costs twenty cents."

"You want the same rattan stick as the one from Ningguo Mansion? That one is a bit more expensive, thirty cents."

"I'm not bragging. With this cane and the master willing to teach you a lesson, you will definitely win the first place in the imperial examination."

There were also some absurd rumors. The idiot in Ningguo Mansion, because he got a gold belt, actually wore it naked and walked around the mansion, and was so proud that he almost used his front as a monkey's tail and swung it up to the sky.

There were also those who disbelieved, who questioned, “Is his thing as long as a monkey’s tail?”

"What's a monkey's tail? I heard that the gentleman usually tied it around his waist. You heard about the assassin who appeared in Tiewang Mountain. He just used the thing tied around his waist to swing hard and actually killed the assassin directly."

"so smart?"

"How do you think he got the nickname 'Bangchui'?"

"So what does this have to do with you selling mallets?"

"A mallet costs twenty-five cents. It can not only wash clothes, but also protect yourself."

In addition, the net worth of many fortune tellers and feng shui masters has skyrocketed.

Jia Rong, a well-known playboy in the capital, suddenly ranked first in the review. The only explanation for this phenomenon was metaphysics. So everyone started to study what went wrong. The Ningguo Mansion, which was about to fail, suddenly regained its strength.

In the end, all they could think of was the dead Jia Zhen.

Could it be that the place where Jia Zhen was buried is better?

"No, no, the coffin of Master Zhen from Ningguo Mansion is still at Tiekan Temple and has not been buried yet."

"That's because the location and direction of Master Zhen's coffin are good. Who knows, there are some special magic tools in the coffin."

"You're not selling magic tools, are you?"

"No, if you don't believe me, come with me to Tiekan Temple one day and open the coffin and take a look."

Jia Rong didn't know that Jia Zhen's coffin had been targeted by a group of quacks, nor did he know that rattan and mallets were becoming increasingly expensive in the capital city of Shenjing.

When he returned home, it was late April, Baoyu's birthday.

When Jia Baoyu heard that Jia Rong had returned, he trembled for no reason and looked around with his big round eyes. Only when he found that this was Jia's mother's courtyard did he quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master, you won't drag me out of here and beat me up, will you?"

Baoyu felt a little relieved, but he saw Sister Zhen, Rong'er's wife and others leave one after another, and Sister Feng followed them. The sisters sitting nearby began to discuss Rong'er.

Baoyu feels wronged.

It's obviously my birthday today, why are they all talking about Rong Ge'er? Why did Sister Lin care about these things? She even talked about Rong Ge'er with Sister Bao.

Boring, boring, so boring.

Jia Baoyu pouted his chubby face and habitually reached out to touch the jade hanging around his neck.

You can’t fall today, or you might get beaten again!

Baoyu put it down quietly again and sighed.

"It would be nice if Jing Qing was here, at least there would be someone to talk to."

When he thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly said to Grandmother Jia, "Grandma, I also want to go and see Rong'er's demeanor."

Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "Rong'er should be in the ancestral temple offering sacrifices to the ancestors now. When he returns home and changes his clothes, he will come here to pay his respects. You will see him later."

Many times, change happens in an instant.

At this moment, Grandmother Jia seemed to have forgotten how much she disliked Jia Rong before. Now Jia Rong has become her favorite offspring second only to Jia Zhu and Baoyu.

If Jia Rong had the ability to listen to one's inner voice, he would definitely sneer and secretly say: I don't have your Shi family's blood in my body.

Just as Jia's grandmother had guessed, Jia Rong changed into clean clothes, presented a plain gold belt and a goose-feather knife to offer sacrifices to his ancestors, and then presented the plain gold belt to pay his respects to Youshi.

Yu sat in the main hall, her eyes trembling.

"Put the things away quickly and send them to the old lady in the West Mansion for her to see."

Jia Rong also felt emotional. When he was offering sacrifices to his ancestors, he had asked the people he had ordered to inquire about her. It turned out that there was really nothing wrong with Youshi. She had never met with any men outside the family, and even the male servants in the mansion had never seen her.

I misunderstood Yushi.

He said gently, "I'm sorry that you've made my wife suffer these years. From now on, my son and I will be very filial to you."

When Youshi heard the word "filial piety", she couldn't help but look at Feng Lazi beside her. She felt a tingling sensation in her heart for no reason, and felt very uncomfortable.

Wang Xifeng thought Youshi was hinting at her, her eyes turned cold for a moment, and she said gently, "Rong'er has always been filial. She immediately presented the golden belt to you after offering sacrifices to the ancestors. Rong'er's wife is also easy to get along with. Sister-in-law, you should be content with their filial piety."
