The filial son of the Red Mansion

Yin said: "You live far away, and it may be inconvenient for you to stay here. Just stay with your uncle Bao and don't learn from those useless people."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, his eyes lit up and his brows were filled with joy.

Jia Rong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said, "The old man is kind-hearted. There are still many empty courtyards in the east. Just let the brothers live in the east." He thought to himself: Keqing, Fengjie, you two are pushing Jingqing into the fire pit. Let Qin Zhong and Baoyu live together, won't these two settle accounts every night?

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter where we live. It's convenient for us to study together in the west, so don't worry about it. If you think the yard is empty, leave it for me and the girls. When the girls get tired of playing here, they will have a place to rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Keqing, Youshi, Feng'er, Ping'er and others all looked strange, fearing that the ladies in the West Mansion would suspect something.

The ladies thought that this was Wang Xifeng's persuasion and didn't pay any attention to it. Besides, the East and West Mansions had never been clearly divided except for their own property. Didn't Xichun live in the west? Speaking of the outside, Aunt Xue's family was also temporarily staying in the West Mansion, and Old Lady You's family was also in the East Mansion.

He also heard that last year at Tiekan Temple, Wang Xifeng had come to the East Palace and stayed with Keqing for a few nights.

Jia Rong was delighted, and seeing that Qin Zhong and Baoyu were also secretly happy, he ignored them and said with a smile: "It is an honor for my nephew and his wife that the aunts and aunts are willing to stay in the east for one or two days a year."

Wang Xifeng ignored him. Seeing that Lady Jia had asked Qin Zhong and Baoyu to stay here for dinner, she asked Jia Rong to call Lang Ge'er up to eat together.

After dinner, Jia's mother began to show respect, and the other ladies followed suit. Then, Baoyu and Qin Zhong were sent away to play by themselves, and Jia Lan returned to the archery range downstairs.

When the old lady was leaving, Jia Rong was thinking about how to keep Wang Xifeng and Ping'er in the East Mansion tonight. Ping'er came quietly and said with a red face, "Grandma asked you to go to the side bedroom to talk before sunset."

Chapter 77: Who is it?

At this time, dozens of dragon boats had finished racing at Changchun Garden outside the capital, and Emperor Longtai gave Pu wine and rice dumplings to the princes and ministers who followed him. Towards evening, he also gave feather fans, tea leaves, and purses to the ministers who accompanied him. This was the end of the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony at Changchun Garden.

After the ministers finished their greetings, they dispersed and Emperor Longtai also returned to the palace.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, all palaces in the palace were decorated with hanging screens with five poisonous creatures, calamus sticks were inserted on the doors, five poisonous creatures were pasted in the rooms, and images of Tianshi and Zhong Kui were hung. The palace ladies and eunuchs also wore python robes with patches embroidered with five poisonous creatures and mugwort tigers; the concubines and palace maids wore mugwort leaves, painted healing talismans on their bodies, and happily went to the back garden to admire the blooming pomegranate flowers, hoping for many children and good fortune.

In addition, the princes living in the South Three Buildings and North Five Buildings of the palace also have their own programs.

The palace usually rehearses plays such as "Fighting Evil and Responding to Festivals", "Collecting Herbs to Conquer Demons" and "Eliminating Monsters by Imperial Order" to make the princes happy and healthy and the palace lively.

But among all the princes, there were two who were different from the others.

Crown Prince Jiong is sixteen years old this year. He is born thin but has a brave heart. He is the most favored by the Emperor among all the princes.

He watched "Exorcising Demons by Imperial Order" and suddenly became interested. He called the eunuch Liu Xingping beside him to dress up as a Mongolian in Mobei. He also named himself the General of Guarding the North, led the eunuchs and guards, and rehearsed a drama about attacking Kulun in Mobei on the stage set up in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The sounds of killing and shouting resounded through the sky.

When Prince Jiong was having so much fun, he even staged a passionate drama in which he was attacked from all sides, fought his way out of the siege, and died on the battlefield.

There is another prince who is very close to Crown Prince Jiong and ranks fifth. He loves to hold funerals. He is called "Zhou Wuye" or "Xiao Wuye".

When Master Wu saw the prince fall to the ground in grief, he hurried forward, took out a piece of white cloth from somewhere on his body and put it on his forehead, then knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "My brother, you died tragically! I was a step late, why are you gone? Brother~ Brother~"

When Prince Jiong saw Master Wu Zhou crying, he refused to give in and fell to the ground, stretching out his hands and shouting, "Brother Zhou, brother Zhou, save me. Let's kill our way through Kulun together and take Princess Kulun back to be your maid~"

"Brother, go with peace of mind. I will let Princess Kulun bury you with me!"

Emperor Longtai, who had just stepped into the Taihe Gate, happened to see this scene. His hands were shaking, his eyelids were twitching, and he was furious.

absurd.

Emperor Longtai almost stepped over the high threshold with trembling feet, but fortunately Xia Shouzhong and Prince Zhongshun beside him quickly supported him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not know that Emperor Longtai and King Zhongshun had returned, and he cried out sadly on the ground: "This general would rather die... would rather die... Brother Zhu, where are you going?"

Master Zhou Wu had already seen several figures inside the Taihe Gate, so he quickly raised his hand to tear off the white cloth on his head and stuffed it into his arms. His movements were smooth and skillful, and it was obviously not the first time he had done this. He booed, and the two young eunuchs who were also wearing white stuffed the white cloth on their heads into their arms, and then they quickly slipped to the left wing door behind them.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was extremely puzzled when he suddenly heard silence from all around him. The guards and eunuchs beside him all knelt down on the ground tremblingly.

It's going to happen!

Then I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"How did the rumor spread in the capital that Ningguo Mansion educated Jia Rong into a talented person?"

Who is Jia Rong?

While His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was puzzled, he suddenly saw several Dragon Guards holding red sticks approaching him. It was too late for him to run away.

Master Zhou Wu, who was hiding in the left wing door, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said he was lucky. He ordered, "Go back to the palace quickly and set up my spirit altar. If you don't hold a funeral for me today, I'm afraid I'll be beaten too."

The guards at the left wing gate were sweating profusely after hearing this. The eunuch next to him said, "Your Highness is holding a funeral for himself now. I'm afraid His Majesty will be even more angry."

Master Wu Zhou turned around and scolded, "What do you know? I just held a funeral for my wife's brother. If I don't hold my own funeral now, I will die miserably. Hurry up and hang a white banner in the palace, so that my father will only beat the prince."

The two guards at the left wing gate looked at each other and felt that there was no brain in the heads of the two princes.

Do you have Mi Tian Gong in your head?

The steward of Ningguo Mansion died in the yamen. What should we do?

Jia Rong gritted his teeth in anger and snorted, "We are the Dukes of the State, so we should be merciful. Although they died in the prison cell of the government office, they have been the steward of Ning Mansion for many years. Even if they have no merits, they have worked hard. Go to Lai, the chief steward, to get some money and hold a funeral. I will go to the funeral myself tomorrow."

He must attend this funeral.

Although he looked down on the low-level treasure chest, as the current owner of Ningguo Mansion, what was wrong with helping them bury the body and attending the funeral? It was not like he had forgiven them. Their wives, daughters and sons would still be punished in the end.

If you make a mistake, you will be punished; if you make a contribution, you will be rewarded.

Soon, Lai Sheng got the news and called the other housekeepers to talk.

"Uncle Xiaorong is so kind and righteous, please don't let him down."

After hearing the reason, everyone sighed again. "I didn't expect that they would make such a mistake. In the end, there is still a place for their souls to rest in peace. The master is really kind. It's just a pity for their wives, daughters and children."

Lai Sheng said, "What a pity! They are all from the mansion. They knew they had made a mistake but did not give advice or return the money. They are accomplices. You should also give orders. Don't be bold just because you think I am kind. They are already dead. Can their families have a good ending?"

Jia Rong didn't want to care about what the outcome would be, nor did he ask. He just let the government handle everything according to the law, and Ningguo Mansion would no longer interfere.

He stood under the hanging flower gate and looked at the luxurious and beautiful ceremonial gate.

"I really didn't expect to die, but Ningguo Mansion must be rectified. Jia Zhen is dead, so why should we care about three housekeepers who deceived their superiors and committed crimes?"

After thinking it over carefully, I no longer felt any burden in my heart and went straight to Tianxiang Tower.

At this time, although the old ladies had returned to the West Mansion long ago, there was still some heat in Tianxiang Tower. Li Wan, Jia Lan, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others just left at this time. Obviously, this afternoon, when the ladies were away, these grandmas and girls had a great time drinking.

Whenever Wang Xifeng and Youshi meet, the atmosphere is always lively.

Jia Rong pouted, not understanding why the two of them were so naturally incompatible. When he arrived at Tianxiang Tower, he saw that Baoyu and Xiren not only looked strange, but also walked in a strange way.

Mysterious.

He turned his head and saw Qin Zhong talking to a nun in a mountain pavilion not far away.

Whatever they do.

It's better for Qin Zhong to be on good terms with the nun than to settle accounts with Baoyu.

There's someone waiting for me upstairs! Jia Rong hurried upstairs, only to see that the second floor was empty, as if no one was there.

Were they all sent away by Wang Xifeng?

Jia Rong's heart suddenly burned with heat, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands together. He quickly went to the side bedroom.

He gently pushed the door open, only to find that there was no maid in the side bedroom, but a curvaceous woman was lying on her side under the gauze curtain. Even though she was covered with a thin quilt, the attractive curve of her waist made Jia Rong swallow his saliva.

The woman was facing inwards, had no ornaments on her head, and it was impossible to tell what clothes she was wearing.

For a moment, Jia Rong couldn't figure out who was lying there.

Looking at her figure from behind, she looks a bit like Wang Xifeng, and also a bit like Ping'er.

Does it matter who it is?

The ladies of the West Mansion and Li Wan had already left, and the girls had also returned. No matter whether she was Wang Xifeng or Ping'er, they would close the door first.

He closed the door gently, tiptoed over, quietly climbed onto the couch, and then went in.

There is a smell of alcohol. Which girl drank too much?

Could it be Wang Xifeng?

Jia Rong slowly reached out and put his arm around the waist of the woman on the couch, and his other hand quietly passed under her armpit.

It feels like Ping'er!

Jia Rong was in high spirits and felt a unique pleasure.

He moved closer to her, his chest pressed against her back.

His breathing became hotter.

Chapter 78: Not Ping'er? Let's just go with the flow?

Jia Rong moved very quietly, as quietly as a thief stealing a piece of perfume or jade, for fear of waking up the beauty on the couch.

He couldn't tell whether it was his illusion or not. At this moment, he really felt a kind of excitement of stealing. As he groped and explored to guess who the person in his arms was, it seemed to be a little more fun than usual.

Even temptation.

In the past, whether it was Wang Xifeng or Ping'er, they were used to being on high alert. This was the first time he encountered such a situation, hugging someone who was lying here completely defenseless, and his heart was as wild as the waves of the sea.

He took a deep breath, and what he touched was a delicate feeling like the finest silk.

Gently untie the sweat towel, and then there will be no more obstacles.

He was getting more and more excited, there was a refreshing fragrance in the quilt, very familiar, but he just couldn't remember who used to use the incense.

It could only be Ping'er! Ping'er, it was actually Pretty Ping'er. In his heart, he warned himself to be gentle, extremely gentle.

It’s the alluring Ping’er!

He was determined not to make the same mistakes he had made before. There were some things that were necessary before starting, which would directly determine the mood and state of both people.

He was like a climber, slowly moving forward, searching for the familiar place of yesterday while lost.

The beauty showed no sign of waking up, and her breathing was smooth and even. But he couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to wake the person in his arms with a kiss.

He gently lowered his head, found the woman's snow-white neck and kissed her.

hmm~

She made a sound, a soft moan, as if she was in pain, or a tender hum, and her long, well-proportioned legs moved quietly.

He could already imagine Ping'er's shy and coquettish expression when she woke up, his pretty face flushed and afraid to look up, his eyes glowing with soft light as he hummed and spat, "I'll cut off the root of your trouble later."

Ping'er is so cute!

Thump, thump, his heart was beating violently as he waited for the moment when Ping'er would wake up and then the most exciting moment when they would meet each other openly and honestly.
