The filial son of the Red Mansion

How could a Taihemen guard suddenly die?

He looked at everyone's faces suspiciously. Those who were kneeling on the ground in front of the hall were crying extremely excitedly.

Is Yuan Zhen really dead?

Jia Rong almost laughed out loud. He really picked up a [Level 5 Treasure Chest] for free.

Suddenly, I saw the young man crying beside the altar. There was a [Level 7 Treasure Chest] on his head, and my heart almost stopped.

Happiness comes too suddenly!

He hurried to the coffin, where servants had already lit incense. After offering incense, he couldn't help but look into the coffin, and indeed saw Yuan Zhen lying inside, and he couldn't help crying with excitement.

"My elder brother, Brother Zhen, why are you leaving now? I just swore brotherhood with you last time, and I thought we would get drunk together next time. Why are you leaving now?"

Jia Rong cried sincerely and was extremely sad.

The young man who led the crying raised his eyebrows and whispered to the beardless middle-aged man next to him, "Is this person very close to Guard Yuan?"

The beardless man shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. He just looked at Jia Rong and guessed, "Perhaps they are very close."

The young man nodded, carefully observed Jia Rong's crying method, and imitated him by howling loudly. Then, the crowd below followed suit and cried loudly, and the main hall was filled with crying.

When Jia Rong heard the cries, he also speculated on the identities of the people around him. In particular, how could the young man leading the cries be a level 7 treasure chest?

He howled loudly, walked to the side of the coffin, supported the coffin and cried, "Brother Yuan Zhen, we have known each other for a long time, but we are not in a hurry to become close friends. You are gone at such a young age. If your family has any difficulties in the future, I, as your younger brother, will do my best to help. I will do my best to help your wife, children and the elderly... Oh!"

As she was crying, she saw Yuan Zhen's eyes moving around in the coffin, and his fingers twitching slightly.

Jia Rong was shocked.

"Brother is faking his death?!"

Oh my god, he really opened his eyes.

When Jia Rong saw Yuan Zhen open his eyes and glared at him fiercely, he was frightened and was about to go into the coffin with his fists raised. He thought to himself: No matter if you are a human or a ghost, I will hit you first!

The people around were quick-witted and quick-handed, obviously well-trained, and they quickly stepped forward to stop Jia Rong.

The young man who led the crying laughed loudly and said, "Guard Jia, please stop it quickly. Guard Yuan, please lie down quickly. The show is not over yet."

Depend on!

It turns out he wasn't really dead.

What a pity, what a pity.

No wonder I didn't see any of the women in Yuan's mansion. Damn, what a waste of expression!

Chapter 124: Wash it clean inside and out

It's boring that Yuan Zhen is not dead.

Jia Rong suddenly lost the motivation to cry. Even though there was a [Level 7 Treasure Box] right next to him, he didn't have the energy to make friends.

What a joke! That guy is definitely the fifth prince, also known as Master Wu Zhou.

What's the point of making friends with such a ridiculous guy? It's not easy to bury him, and you can't gain any benefits from him, and it's easy to get into trouble.

Under Yuan Zhen's gloomy gaze, Jia Rong said a few more polite words without revealing the identity of the Fifth Prince. He patted the coffin lightly and quickly said goodbye.

How come there isn't a real funeral in such a hot day?

Jia Rong returned to his house, while Qin Keqing, Youshi and others went to the west. It was really lonely and deserted, and I felt like I was forgotten by the world.

How come there is no one to talk to!

It would be fine if one of the two maids, Feicui or Baozhu, was in the room.

It’s like being alone in the end times!

This feeling is getting stronger and stronger, with an inexplicable palpitation as if reaching the end of the world.

Jia Rong went around and around, and went to the outer house to ask the housekeepers about their recent affairs, and gave them some random instructions. After the housekeepers left cautiously, he was alone again.

There was no movement in the inner and outer houses, and he went to Huifang Garden alone, wandering leisurely among the mountains and rivers. It seemed as if he was the only one left in the world.

There was no one talking in the huge empty house. Although I occasionally ran into a few maids hurrying back and forth, they were all familiar faces and there was nothing to say.

This was the first time Jia Rong felt lonely.

Inexplicable loneliness, or perhaps it could be said that it is the loneliness of the end of the world.

I don't know what to do.

Even though I have some things to do in my heart, I don't have much interest in doing them, as if everything is meaningless.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, as if he had no energy to do anything. But he just learned from the maids that Lin Daiyu was still sulking today, and after thinking about it, he didn't have any desire to go west.

In the evening, Qin Keqing brought back Feicui, Feng'er, Ruizhu, Baozhu and a group of maids, but he only saw that they had dinner and went to bed early.

No one knew what happened to him.

On the second day, Youshi and Qin Keqing led Feicui, Fenger, Baozhu and others out of Ningfu to attend the birthday celebration of the Duke of Zhenguo. Jia Rong also got a little more motivated and went to visit the relatives of the four kings and eight dukes.

The next day, Jia Rong went to Shenwu Gate to be on duty again.

The Shenwu Gate was indeed an idle job, and the people he dealt with every day were all eunuchs and servants. During these six days, Jia Rong did not stay in the Shenwu Gate all the time. Because the weather was getting hotter, the emperor led all the concubines to Changchun Garden to escape the heat.

Therefore, Jia Rong also followed him to Changchun Garden to serve on duty.

But he was distracted and thinking. What was the purpose of obtaining this system, burying people and getting rewards!

What was that sudden palpitation?

In the past, everything seemed to be pushed forward by the system, but now the system task is stuck and I don’t know what to do. It seems that many things cannot be completed overnight.

What to do next?

He hadn't the slightest clue.

Jia Rong stayed in this state for more than half a month. During this time, Qin Keqing, Youshi, Wang Xifeng and others all saw that he was worried, but no one took the initiative to say anything, hoping that Jia Rong would come out of it on his own.

That day, Jia Rong returned home after a day off, his brows still furrowed.

Qin Keqing was really distressed. She asked Feicui to make some arrangements, and then called Feng'er to invite Jia Rong to Conglutang for a bath.

When Jia Rong arrived at Cong Lu Tang, there were many maids carrying buckets of water coming and going. He walked in and saw a huge bathtub filled with steaming water in the back room.

Jade was wearing very thin clothes and came out from nowhere with a gentle and soft smile on her face.

"Master, it's time to take a bath. I will change your clothes for you."

Feicui's figure was better than expected, although not too graceful, and even some parts of her body were not plump, but her skin was white, tender and translucent, and when she walked slowly, the thin gauze on her body stuck to her curves, which made her look more or less gorgeous.

Jade's face is pure and her temperament is gentle and pure, so it does seem a bit incongruous to dress like this.

Jia Rong took a quick glance and could vaguely see some bright red spots in the gauze.

"Don't wear it like this in the future. It doesn't suit you." He said slowly, without any intention of playing any tricks. He let Feicui help him take off the clothes, and then sat in the warm water.

Feicui replied in a gentle voice, "If the master doesn't like it, I won't do that anymore. Maybe it's because the weather has been too hot these days, and many people in the mansion have strange tempers. But the master is still calm and not impatient, and the old lady has praised him several times."

Not anxious or impatient?

Jia Rong was thinking deeply.

He has indeed been calm and patient recently because nothing can be rushed.

Feicui rolled up her gauze sleeves, revealing an arm as gentle as her temperament, and took a wet towel to gently scrub Jia Rong's back. She added, "Things in the world are always strange. The master has become calm, and the wives and grandmothers are not used to it. They miss the master's past recklessness."

"Really?" Jia Rong finally said two words.

On Feicui's elegant and dignified face, the smile gradually became brighter, and the light in her eyes also became brighter. Rourou said, "Two days ago, Second Madam Lian said that she was not used to the days when the master did not act up. She also said that without the master's mischief, the mansion was much less lively."

Is this what Wang Xifeng said?

Feicui gently lifted Jia Rong's arm and placed it on her shoulder, letting the water droplets splash on her clothes. She concentrated on helping Jia Rong wash his arm, and said softly, "Madam also said yesterday that the master is like a lion gathering strength now, and he must be planning something big."

event?

What’s the big deal?!

Jia Rong sighed quietly. It seemed that he had everything he needed now, except the motivation to make progress; but it also seemed that he lacked everything, except the motivation to make progress.

After all, there are still so many beauties in the Red Mansion that have not been won.

He glanced at the jadeite and saw that the veil was completely transparent. The fire in his heart finally came out again. He smiled and said, "I am indeed planning something big."

Feicui paused, feeling her hand being held, and her face was filled with both shyness and joy. Her soft, almond-shaped eyes looked down slightly, and a little shyness flushed on her pure and chaste white face. She asked, "What are you planning, Master?"

Jia Rong gently pinched Feicui's little nose and said with a smile, "Did your grandmother teach you?"

"I don't understand what you are saying, Master." Feicui let out a soft cry, and her face became even more beautiful. Master Xiaorong stood up from the water, and he actually let her feet go up in the air, and in the blink of an eye, he sat in the bathtub.

Feicui's gentle eyebrows curved slightly, and she said shyly: "Master really hasn't changed."

How can a person's personality change?

Jia Rong just felt that he had been led by the system, so he had been concentrating on studying the system. But he didn't come up with anything.

Jia Rong chuckled and said, "Good Fei'er, take a closer look and see if I have changed in any way!"

Feicui understood what Jia Rong said, but did not respond to his words. She continued to lift Jia Rong's arm and wash it, saying gently: "Master has changed a little, and has put away his previous reckless temper. The ladies all said that Master has been blessed by heaven, has seen the emperor's face, knows how high the sky is and how thick the earth is, so he has grown up. But some grandmothers said that they still like Master's fearless look. As long as our family does not rebel, what can't we do? What is most important is to be happy and satisfied. If a person is unhappy for a long time, he will get sick sooner or later."

Qin Keqing couldn't say that!

Jia Rong looked at Feicui deeply, knowing that this little girl was a lobbyist invited by Qin Keqing.

Could it be that I really made Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng and the others worry for a while?

Wang Xifeng shouldn't be worried! If she was really worried, she would have come up and pulled his ears and scolded him!

What is there to worry about?

I have always been troubled by the same question: What if the emperor is buried?

Especially after meeting the fifth prince that day, this question became even more serious. What if those royal relatives were buried? What if everyone was buried?

What sound is making?

Jia Rong suddenly tilted his ear, took Feicui's hand, and asked, "Did you hear that?"

"Ok?"

"Hush! The ticking sound seems like a countdown." Jia Rong pricked up his ears and tilted his head to listen outside.
