The filial son of the Red Mansion

Qin Keqing also secretly glanced at Jia Rong and said with a smile, "Aren't you just worried whether Auntie's food is to her taste?"

Lin Daiyu's face suddenly brightened up again, and she hurriedly asked Qin Keqing to eat with her, and drank two more sips of tea. Suddenly, she heard Zijuan's scream, and hurriedly turned around to see that the fish had taken the bait.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry~ Rong'er, come and help me!" Lin Daiyu stretched out her hands. Although she didn't move much, the excitement in her heart was fully revealed in her words.

Qin Keqing, Feng'er and others were also extremely excited. As soon as they heard Daiyu's voice, they hurried to help Zijuan.

Daiyu followed closely behind Jia Rong, and together they picked up the fishing net and tried to go to the place where the fish was jumping.

"What a fat one!"

The group had dinner at Ningguo Mansion. When they returned to their room, Daiyu was still very excited. She and Zijuan lay in the large room arranged by Ningguo Mansion, on the large bed.

Daiyu smiled and said, "Let's go again tomorrow."

Zijuan just nodded and called Xueyan to instruct the maids in Ning Mansion to fetch water. After everyone left, Zijuan whispered, "Mr. Xiaorong is married after all. Although they are relatives, it is better for the young lady to avoid suspicion. The young lady actually squeezed in with him when fishing. Fortunately, no maids saw it, otherwise there would be a lot of gossip."

Lin Daiyu sneered, "You're trying to avoid suspicion just now? Those old women think too badly of me. Rong'er and his wife treat me well, so I'm naturally close to them. Those old women are just meddling, I don't care what they say."

Zijuan nodded helplessly, but she had deeper worries in her heart.

Uncle Xiaorong has indeed treated Miss Lin too well, and Miss Lin likes to come to the east to play. If this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later.

Zijuan is not the only one who has the same concerns.

After dinner, Xue Baochai heard that several sisters were staying overnight in the east, so she stayed for a while. When she came back from Tanchun's place, she went straight to Lin Daiyu's room.

Some things are better to be prevented in advance.

When Lin Daiyu learned that Baochai was coming, she stood up with a smile and quickly pulled Baochai to sit on the bed. "Why are you here now, sister?"

"Come and talk to sister Pin'er about something." Baochai was very smart and enthusiastic, so she sent Zijuan and Ying'er away. She asked with a smile, "Is Pin'er happy to come here?"

This is nonsense that doesn't need to be asked.

Lin Daiyu nodded, thinking that they were the closest to each other recently, and said, "Sister, don't go back tonight. Sleep with me here and we can talk all night, okay?"

Xue Baochai was worried that she would not have a good chance to persuade Daiyu, so she nodded happily. She swallowed her words for now and would talk about it in detail later in the night.

That night, no one knew who brought up Jia Rong and Baoyu first, but it ended up making Daiyu ponder for a long time.

I really just wanted to see how close Rong Ge was!

The night is quiet.

Although Daiyu had countless words in her heart, she didn't say a single word to anyone.

In the east courtyard, Jia Rong and Qin Keqing huddled together.

"Seeing Aunt Lin reminds me of myself," Qin Keqing said softly, and after Ruizhu and Feng'er helped clean the area, she snuggled into Jia Rong's arms again. She had also lived a cautious life like Lin Daiyu, and her sensitive mind was also developed at that time.

Because she was adopted by the Qin family.

Chapter 118: Shen's Sister

As a person who has read the original novel, Jia Rong can probably guess what Qin Keqing is going to say.

His method of making Qin Keqing shut up was also very simple, and the originally quiet room suddenly became noisy. The gentle Keqing's eyes overflowed with tender tears, and she never mentioned the past again.

However, things in the East Courtyard have been arranged after tonight.

Now there are a group of young maids in Ningguo Mansion. Feng'er and Ruizhu will move to the side rooms of the East Courtyard in the future, and they will each have a maid with them. Qin Keqing will only keep two big maids, Feicui and Baozhu, and a few small maids to follow her.

Only in this way can a legitimate granddaughter of the Ning family be dignified.

Jia Rong also readily agreed, but he secretly felt sorry that it would be a bit troublesome for Feng'er and Ruizhu to rub his back together in the future.

On the second day,

Master Xiao Rong got up early in the morning. After a busy day in the East Courtyard, he and Qin Keqing went to Youshi Courtyard to pay their respects. All the girls were there, and Jia Rong greeted them one by one. When he heard that they were going to the old lady in the West Courtyard later, he left early.

He was still thinking about going to Captain Qiu's house for a meal.

I didn't think much about it until I went back to my room to change clothes, but I heard a steady stream of reports from people outside.

Jia Rong ordered the servant to invite everyone to Ningxi Pavilion. When he arrived, he saw the burly Feng Tang with a big grin, chatting with a group of young gentlemen.

"Greetings to Master Feng, and to all the uncles."

His eyes were darting around, and suddenly he saw Shen Nian in the crowd, and his heart started beating fast.

Why is he here?

"Rong boy, come here. Are you used to being on duty at Shenwu Gate these days? Have you been bullied?" Feng Tang waved his big hand and looked Jia Rong up and down. He wanted to put his arm around Jia Rong's shoulders, but then he realized that Jia Rong was half a head taller than him. He said suspiciously, "Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, how come you look much taller."

Jia Rong didn't know what was going on with him.

Although he is not yet twenty years old, his height growth should have slowed down, and he is also a heavy drinker and sex in which case his height growth would usually stagnate.

Could this also be the credit of "Yin Yang Can Tong Qi"?

Jia Rong was also secretly proud, but he saw Shen Nian frowning and walking out.

hmm~

Still not as tall as Shen Nian! This guy is probably about 1.9 meters tall and looks like he's not easy to mess with.

Jia Rong bowed cautiously and said with a smile, "How come Uncle Shen has the time to spare today?"

Shen Nian ignored him and just looked at him for a while, muttering, "He has grown taller, but unfortunately he is still a fool."

What the hell? Taunting!

Come out and fight! I don't believe you can fight one-on-one against the hundreds of servants in Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Rong didn't want to pay any attention to Shen Nian anymore, so he went to Feng Tang and Feng Ziying and asked, "The old general and uncle came here today, so what must have happened?"

Feng Tang patted Jia Rong's shoulder vigorously, grinning, and said, "You ran away that day without even inviting us to a feast. Today I brought them here specially to enjoy your feast."

Jia Rong then realized that the people who came today were all the young men who went hunting in Tiewang Mountain that day.

Except Wei Ruolan.

Wei Ruolan saw Jia Rong's look, and laughed, saying, "I happened to be on leave today, and when I heard they were coming, I naturally had to come too, to prevent you from having your legs broken by Brother Shen. Although I can't stop him, I can still protect Brother Rong's life."

Shen Nian spat inwardly and ignored Wei Ruolan, sitting down upright.

Feng Tang also called the other young masters to sit down and urged, "Why haven't you served the wine and food yet?"

Jia Rong's shoulders were hurt by the slaps. He really didn't know what to do with him, so he quickly ordered his servants to serve the best wine and food.

Seeing Jia Rong grinning, Feng Ziying couldn't help but smirk and asked, "How does it feel to be on duty at Shenwu Gate, Rong'er?"

The feeling of being on duty at Shenwu Gate can be summed up in one word: 'tired'.

The guards changed shifts every half an hour, and every two hours. The weather was hot now, not only because of the eunuchs, but also because the public thatch of Shenwu Gate was not far from where the guards lived. There was always a faint smell of an indescribable strange smell.

Feng Tang laughed and said, "You are used to having fine clothes and delicious food and having people serve you. You all have purses and sachets on you. If you were to march outside, you would stink all over. What's the big deal?" Seeing that the wine and food had arrived, he stopped talking about those disgusting things.

He just said, "Once you enter the Dragon Guard, take care of yourself. Don't wait for a few days and then refuse to go, otherwise... I will beat you to death."

amount……

Jia Rong nearly choked on his wine. He glanced at Feng Ziying suspiciously and said, "Uncle Feng doesn't have a job yet."

Feng Ziying was very nervous and kept winking at Jia Rong.

Feng Tang burped and said, "When we get home, I'll hang him up and beat him."

hiss~

Jia Rong and Feng Ziying both took a deep breath. Feng Ziying looked at Jia Rong with even more resentment.

Wei Ruolan's eyes sparkled, and she said to Feng Tang with a smile, "Uncle, this idea is very good. My nephew's family has an ancestral rattan stick that can hit people with great pain but will not hurt the body. I will send someone to deliver it to your house later."

After hearing this, Feng Tang cheered repeatedly and picked up the wine glass to drink with Wei Ruolan.

This bitch!

Jia Rong and Feng Ziying looked at Wei Ruolan at the same time. Feng Ziying gritted his teeth and glanced at Jia Rong, as if to say: You are also a bitch!

Feng Tang said, "I don't know where this trend started, but the price of rattan sticks has risen sharply in and around Shenjing City. I heard that the current emperor even asked the eunuchs to buy a batch of them and bring them back to the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also been beaten a lot. Rong'er, please be careful when you are on duty at Shenwu Gate. Don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find you."

what?

"Old... Old Master, what do you mean?" Jia Rong felt something was wrong.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince getting beaten, what does it have to do with me?

Feng Tang said: "I also heard from several imperial guards in the palace that every time the Crown Prince was beaten, he would always grit his teeth and say your name."

"The prince and I don't know each other and have never seen each other. Why would he mention my name?" Jia Rong was very puzzled.

Grass!

What the hell is going on? I haven’t even entered the center of power in the court, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already hated me?

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "I know about this. It's just the saying that a good son is born under the stick in the capital. Everyone regards Rong Ge'er as a model." He paused, then suddenly grinned and said, "I heard that Rong Ge'er went to Qiu Duwei's house a few days ago and even got a group of people who were drinking there to become sworn brothers?"

Wei Ruolan, Shen Nian and others all listened attentively.

This news was not widely spread, but these princes and nobles had heard of it, and came here today to find out the truth.

Most of the people who were at Commandant Qiu’s residence that day were Commandant Long Jin.

Jia Rong nodded, then suddenly shook his head and said, "Not all of them have sworn brotherhood. I didn't become sworn brother to Qiu Jiheng."

Qiu Jiheng?

The son of Captain Qiu!

Feng Ziying's eyebrows jumped, and he tried to suppress his smile. This idiot is really an idiot. He has already sworn brotherhood with Captain Qiu, and now he wants to sworn brotherhood with Captain Qiu's son?

Suddenly, everyone looked at Jia Rong differently.

Some people were really afraid of this fool and hurriedly said, "Brother Rong, we are all your uncles and great-grandfathers, so don't make any rash plans."

"No, no, how could I mess up the generations?" Jia Rong grinned. These people were all relatives of the Jia family and would be his helpers in the future, so of course they couldn't be buried.

What we need to do is to become brothers with our enemies!

Shen Nian pondered for a long time, then suddenly looked up and said, "My sister has been at home these days."

The room suddenly became quiet. After looking at each other, everyone looked at Jia Rong.

Everyone knew everything about the relationship between the Shen family sister and Jia Rong. Feng Ziying sighed secretly. This guy was really strange. A fool like Jia Rong actually had a girl like him. It would be fine if he just liked her. Jia Rong was married, but he still couldn't forget her.
