The filial son of the Red Mansion

After seeing Jia Lian off.

Jia Rong returned to the study and took Wang Xifeng in his arms, telling her what had happened in the main hall.

Sister Feng's face changed slightly, she looked straight at Jia Rong and said coldly, "You are not really planning to take advantage of those two sisters, are you?"

"Nonsense!" Jia Rong hugged Wang Xifeng and pressed her against the wall. He kissed her and said with a smile, "Why don't you think about why I said I wanted to give him a house?"

Wang Xifeng hugged Jia Rong tightly around his neck, thinking for a moment, and when she came to her senses, her face turned red. She cursed, "You bastard, the wall rubbed my clothes, watch out for your skin."

Feng Jieer was so smart that she knew Jia Rong's intention. This bastard was creating an opportunity for her to pretend in the future. When the two of them were about to hide it, they could take this opportunity to bring Mr. Lian's second wife into the mansion. Afterwards, she would pretend to be sick and move Ping'er into Ningguo Mansion.

In this way, even if something really happened later, the ladies in the West Mansion would feel less resentful about Jia Lian having a second wife.

The little bastard is actually considerate and can even consider the future of both of them.

Wang Xifeng's heart softened, and when she hugged him tightly with her hands, her eyes were unusually charming.

"My good brother!"

Those words of endearment seemed to have lit the world's biggest bonfire, and the room heated up again in the evening.

Day two!

Early in the morning, Jia Rong went to pay his respects to Youshi. Youshi's eyes were trembling, and after a while she hurriedly lowered her head.

Chapter 113: The You sisters have different thoughts

Rong'er's temperament is becoming more and more outstanding!

Yushi had a slight thought in her mind, and her heart beat even faster.

As Rong Ge'er grew older, his face lost its childishness and his eyes became more lively. This time when he came back from his duty in the imperial city, he had a temperament between maturity and childishness, with both his original handsome appearance and his heroic and majestic appearance.

Jia Rong now possesses a temperament that is not possessed by any other young master or lord in the Ning and Rong mansions.

The young master still had to do some serious work, so he joined the Dragon Guards, and his demeanor was different from before.

Not only is he confident and cheerful, but every move he makes seems full of vitality.

Yu Shi was inexplicably trembling. When she saw Jia Rong approaching, her heart beat like a bell. She was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She didn't know where to look. Her eyes moved left and right. From time to time, she would look up at Jia Rong, and her panic became stronger and stronger.

"Rong'er...you, sit down! Qin...sit down too!"

Yu pretended to be calm and ordered Yindie, Wan'er, Chaodou'er and others to invite Master Xiaorong and Madam Xiaorong to sit down.

How could she know that Jia Rong did this on purpose? Although the Dragon Guard had many rules and etiquette, Jia Rong was deliberately standing straight at this time, which he learned from his previous life.

When Jia Rong saw the look in Youshi's eyes, he felt very satisfied.

He didn't blink or anything, pretending to be unaware of it, and just greeted and talked politely.

She has a perfect temperament.

Xiao Rong's eldest grandmother Qin saw that Youshi looked strange and thought it was because Madam had decided to cancel the engagement for the second daughter of the You family. She asked, "Madam, are you still thinking about the second aunt?"

Yu shook her head.

Wang Xifeng handled the matter of You Erjie breaking off the engagement very well. Not only did she ask someone to return the marriage certificate, she also gave a sum of money and asked Zhang Hua to write a contract to break off the engagement. The contract was very detailed, not only stating the reason for the arranged marriage, but also describing the experience of the Zhang family losing the lawsuit, and adding that because he had a lover in Huaxiangzi and heard that the You family was close to the Ning Mansion, he came to ask for a sum of money to break off the engagement.

Wang Xifeng's move directly eliminated Zhang Hua's future legal prospects.

How could Youshi have any worries?

She glanced at Jia Rong, asked him a few questions about his duties in the imperial city, and then hurriedly sent him away.

Jia Rong was also happy with this, so he bowed and left alone.

There were many people around Youshi at this time, so she went to the porch where You lived to meet You's second and third sisters.

When the maidservants in the porch saw Master Xiaorong coming, they hurried into the room to inform him, and another maidservant with a bright smile opened the curtain for Master Xiaorong.

Jia Rong walked gracefully through the curtain, said softly, "Thank you, sister," and bowed as he entered the room.

"My grandson wishes you all the best to our great grandfather, and to our second and third aunts."

Old Lady You, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were sitting in the main hall of the porch when they saw him coming.

My eyes lit up as if I saw a mountain of gold coming towards me, and I kept asking the maid to let me sit down.

You Erjie has always been a sincere person, she would do whatever my mother told her to do. Seeing Jia Rong's attitude, her heart trembled for no reason, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Third Sister You was different from my mother and elder sister. Although she was not cold and sullen, she was not welcoming either. The smile on Third Sister's face was just a perfunctory response.

Old Lady You suppressed her joy and said, "Rong'er said she would come that day, but there was no sign of you. The next day, I sent someone to look for you, but I learned that Rong'er had gone to serve in front of the current saint."

Jia Rong had already sat down with a dignified manner, and he got straight to the point: "My grandson was thinking about what happened that day, and my wife told me that the marriage certificate of my second aunt had been returned. I felt relieved, but I didn't expect that someone from the West Mansion came to me yesterday, and actually wanted to marry my second aunt."

When Old Lady You heard that it was someone from the West Mansion, she was delighted and asked, "Which boy from the West is it?"

You Erjie was also very happy to hear this, thinking that Old Lady You's plan was effective, and she looked at Jia Rong curiously.

Only Third Sister You frowned and thought deeply, looking very unhappy.

Jia Rong sighed, "Actually, I turned down this offer yesterday on behalf of my second aunt. After thinking it over for a while last night, I felt it necessary to talk to my mother and my second aunt about it."

Old Lady You's expression suddenly changed, and she asked anxiously, "Why did you refuse?"

You Erjie was also confused and felt a little complaining in her heart.

Third Sister You, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself:

The only unmarried brothers in the West Mansion of the Jia family are the Second Master Bao, the Third Master Cong, and the Third Master Huan.

Although Master Bao is the oldest and has reached the age for marriage proposal, Master Bao is the most favored in the West Mansion due to his noble status. If Master Bao is interested, he will not just talk to Rong Ge'er. Master Cong and Master Huan are both slightly younger, with a slightly larger age difference from the second sister, and are not favored in the mansion either. Even if they are interested, they will first ask the eldest sister for her opinion and will never approach Rong'er privately.

I have heard some of the stories about the Ning and Rong mansions before. Those who came here privately are probably those married and lustful men in the west.

Jia Rong took in the expressions of the others and sighed, "It is a scandal in our family. My mother and the two aunts must have met my Second Aunt Lian, a very aggressive and powerful person. But I didn't expect that Uncle Lian avoided her and not only acted recklessly in the West Mansion, but now he has such dirty thoughts. That's why I refused."

Old Lady You pondered over it, feeling both regretful and emotional.

Of course, I have heard of the name of Second Master Lian, he is the heir of the West Palace. If I can get my second sister to marry him, she won't have to worry about a life of luxury in the future.

You Erjie's heart skipped a beat. Seeing the pity on her mother's face, she also felt a little resentful.

I saw with my own eyes how powerful Second Lady Lian was two days ago. How could Second Master Lian, hiding from her and coming to me, gain a good reputation in the future?

On Third Sister You's delicate and pretty face, she looked like she was neither smiling nor annoyed. She snorted, "Your family is really interesting. You actually wanted to let a decent girl from a relative's family be your second wife. Fortunately, you refused, otherwise I would have killed him with a sword."

Jia Rong bowed repeatedly to admit his guilt.

Third Sister You is a chivalrous person, and what she said is not just talk.

He echoed again and again, "I also said the same thing to Uncle Lian. How can our relatives be treated like this? Besides, Second Aunt is a fairy-like person. No matter whose husband she is, she must be married with the permission of her parents and the matchmaker, and married in a sedan chair with eight bearers. I can only send Uncle Lian away by charging him with the crime of secretly marrying her without telling his parents and divorcing his wife to marry again. I hope you, my mother, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt, don't blame me."

Old Lady You was in deep pain right now.

In the past, seeing that Jia Zhen was interested in the two sisters, she wanted to ask the second and third sisters to follow Jia Zhen. Now that Jia Zhen is dead and Jia Lian has come, she never thought that such a good thing would be ruined by Rong Ge'er.

What is the difference between Jia Zhen and Jia Lian!

What a pity, what a pity.

You Erjie thought about it seriously for a while and felt that Jia Rong's words made a lot of sense. However, her mother's words and Rong'er's words were entangled in her mind, and she couldn't tell who to listen to after thinking about it.

Third Sister You's eyes brightened up a bit, and she looked at Jia Rong without her previous guard, and said with a smile: "We will blame you, Rong'er did a great job this time. Even if you never get married, you must not be a second wife. Your uncle Lian's wife is still alive, and you still have such ideas about your relatives, you must not be a good person."

When Jia Rong heard Third Sister You say this and Old Lady You had no way to refute, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

The fate of You Erjie and Jia Lian has come to an end.

This left him with a way to deal with future incidents with Wang Xifeng, and at the same time he gained a little closeness to You Sanjie.

He really didn't like You Erjie very much, and even when he saw You Erjie's death in the original novel, he didn't have much sympathy. You Erjie's crime was not punishable by death, but she deserved it. However, You Sanjie was indeed admirable.

Jia Rong carefully observed the expressions of the several people, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed and said, "Uncle Lian has given up the idea now, please forgive my nephew and uncle. Because of this matter, I am here to find out what the ancestors and aunts want in choosing a son-in-law, so that you can help keep an eye out in the various mansions in the future."

He also said this, and no one might pay attention to it, but his decency came out.

Third Sister You already had someone in her heart, so when she heard him say this, she couldn't help but look at him with admiration, thinking that he was a kind person.

Old Lady You suddenly became excited, thinking only of having fine clothes and delicious food, nothing else mattered. She said with a smile: "Since Rong'er is so thoughtful, it's noon now, ask the maids to bring food. Let's eat first, and then talk about it in detail."

As she spoke, I looked at my second and third sisters, and called the maids to prepare wine.

"There's no need to drink so early in the morning." Jia Rong grinned, a little frightened.

Old Lady You's eyes moved quickly as she said, "I feel uncomfortable if I don't drink a few cups every morning. Rong'er can drink two cups with me, so I won't drink too much. Your second aunt hasn't thanked you for your help yet."

Although Third Sister You had her own ideas, she could not go against her mother's wishes and could only sigh helplessly.

You Erjie read a lot of information from her mother's eyes. She couldn't help but look up and down at the young and handsome Rong Ge'er, and her mind suddenly had countless thoughts, and her face couldn't help but turn red.

Chapter 114: Yu Shi secretly felt bad

Eating is the best way to show one’s manners and etiquette.

The You family was a small family, and they did not have as many rules as the Ning and Rong families. As the saying goes, courtesy is not given to commoners. After the You family fell into poverty, the second and third sisters of You were not raised like the girls of the Jia family. Therefore, there were not too many taboos.

Jia Rong, however, still sat upright, appearing to be very gentlemanly, and intentionally distanced himself from the You sisters.

Old Lady You, however, had no idea what she was thinking, and she asked You Erjie and You Sanjie to sit on his left and right, wearing thin clothes and showing two different styles. They sat close together, which aroused people's reverie.

Jia Rong's abiding by the rules is not because he doesn't want to take advantage, but because there is nothing to be gained.

Firstly, the second and third sisters are not yet in their prime, nor are they at their most charming. Secondly, Third Sister You is not the kind of person who will do whatever you want just because you touch her hand or hold her waist.

He was not very fond of You Erjie's gentleness and innocence, but he liked to take on tough people like You Sanjie.

The Third Sister's temperament is similar to Wang Xifeng's. When she is angry, she will make a scene and even risk her life. If you want to bite the Third Sister You's toughness of drawing a sword and wielding scissors at any time, you must first put up an image that you are not greedy for her color.

Jia Rong had already made up his mind, and there was no reason why he could not succeed, even if he planned it deliberately. But because he had another purpose in mind, he was dressed in a polite manner at this moment.

The best strategy is always to attack the heart.

Old Lady You felt very sorry, wondering why this brother was not as bad as his father. She winked at the two sisters and told them to toast Rong'er.

You Erjie was a woman of good temperament and, under her mother's instructions, seeing Rong'er's spirited appearance, she also gently moved sideways towards Jia Rong, holding Rong'er's shoulders with her slender hands.

Her face was slightly bright, and she smiled as she raised a glass of wine and said, "We don't seek to marry into a wealthy family with a good foundation, we just want to live a stable life. I'm sorry to trouble Rong'er for worrying about this."

Jia Rong took a deep breath, drank the cup according to the rules, and said, "It's what I should do."

Old Lady You saw everything, and even the maids in the You family were secretly anxious, wishing they could take the place of their second and third sisters and roll into Jia Rong's arms.
