Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 29: Rongqingtang Jia Mansion
"What happened?"

"Zhou Rui, who is sitting in the sedan?"

Jia Cong stepped forward and asked.

"To answer Third Master, Miss Lin from Jiangnan is returning home, and the old lady specifically ordered me to go to the dock early in the morning to welcome her back."

Zhou Rui cursed himself inwardly for being unlucky, but hurried forward and put on a smile.

"Cousin?"

"Are you talking about cousin Daiyu from Yangzhou?"

Jia Cong suddenly thought of this, and his expression gradually became cold.

In powerful and wealthy families like the Jia family, the main gate is often used, for example, when a distinguished guest comes to the house.

The middle door is only opened on important occasions such as sacrifices, receiving imperial decrees, weddings and funerals.

As for the corner gate, it was used purely for servants to go in and out, or if a master in the mansion took a concubine, he would have someone carry her into the house through the corner gate.

Jia Min is Lady Jia's legitimate daughter and grew up in Rongguo Mansion.

He doesn't get along with Mrs. Wang, the wife of the second wife, not to mention Jia Baoyu, the old lady's favorite.

On the contrary, she was particularly fond of Jia Cong, who was only two or three years old at the time, and often took Jia Cong out to play before she got married.

Jia Cong only remembered this after his innate wisdom was activated.

It’s a pity that Jia Min had already passed away.

"Zhou Rui, let me ask you..."

"How many people do I have to kill before you understand what a master is and what a servant is?"

Jia Cong rode on a white tiger, glanced at the delicate figure in the sedan chair, and asked lightly.

"Pfft!"

Zhou Rui was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to his knees.

"Please spare my life, Third Master. Please spare my life. I really don't know what I did wrong."

"I beg you to spare my life, Master San!"

……

"Uncle Lin comes from a family of marquises for four generations, and he was the top three in the imperial examination."

"When I return to Beijing after my term in Yangzhou, I will have to be at least a minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Now that cousin Daiyu has just arrived, who gave you the courage to open the corner door and carry cousin Daiyu into the house?"

"If Aunt Jia Min knew about this..."

"Forget it, tell me who told you to do this. If you tell me, I might be able to save your life today!"

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be a big deal for me to replace all the servants in Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Cong gently stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The tone was calm, but it sounded extremely cold to everyone's ears.

Zhou Rui was originally a slave brought as a dowry by Lady Wang. He is currently the second steward of Rongguo Mansion, and his status is only second to Lai Da.

At this time, I was sweating coldly.

The blood of the Wang family has not dried yet!

"Third Master, please spare me, Third Master, please spare me, I will tell you, I will tell you!"

"I was blinded by greed and followed the Second Madam's instructions a few days ago, bullying my cousin for not knowing the rules."

"I specially asked the maid to carry my cousin in through the corner door."

"To ruin my cousin's reputation."

Zhou Rui immediately told the whole story like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

"act recklessly!"

Jia Cong glanced at Zhou Rui with cold eyes.

Then he rode the white tiger to the sedan chair.

The curtain of the sedan chair was drawn open, revealing Lin Daiyu's pretty, pitiful face with red eyes.

It has the beauty of a bud just beginning to bloom.

"Is it Cousin Cong?"

"Daiyu has met Cousin Cong."

Lin Daiyu greeted him in the car.

"You don't have to be polite, sister. My aunt loved me very much before she got married."

"My sister came to the mansion today, and I was wrong not to go and greet her."

"It's not too late now. There are too many people in the Ning and Rong mansions, and we were used to indulging them in the past."

"Now the servants are not like servants, and the masters are not like masters."

"Today, cousin, I will teach you a trick to live well and comfortably in Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Cong saw that Lin Daiyu looked pale and frail.

He stretched out his hand and some divine powers were infused into Lin Daiyu's body.

Slowly releasing mysterious power, gradually improving Lin Daiyu's physique.

Then he turned around and looked at the servants Zhou Rui had just brought out.

"Someone come!" "Take all these people to the front yard and give them fifteen canes!"

"No matter life or death!"

"promise!"

Half of the ghost soldiers dismounted as ordered, ignoring everyone's pleas for mercy.

He drove away the maids and servants and ran to the front yard.

After a while, the muffled sound of sticks hitting flesh came from the front yard, along with screams one after another.

……

In the carriage

Hearing the screams coming from the front yard, Xueyan, the maid Lin Daiyu brought from Jiangnan, grabbed her mistress's arm in fear.

You don't have to think about how miserable the situation in the courtyard is at this moment.

Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, remained calm and composed throughout.

"Your Excellency, the execution is complete!"

"Nine people died suddenly from the caning, and the rest were all seriously injured!"

Not long after, the two ghost soldiers came back and knelt on one knee to report.

Jia Cong turned to the sedan chair and chuckled.

"Sister, did you see it?"

"If you want to live well in Rongguo Mansion in the future, you must learn to complain to your brother Cong."

"If one doesn't work, try ten. If ten doesn't work, try a hundred!"

"If these servants don't beat them until they are afraid, they don't know what their duty is!"

……

"Brother Cong, how can you make fun of your sister like this when you first meet her?"

"You make me sound like a gossipmonger... just like that."

Lin Daiyu's watery eyes couldn't help but ripple.

A sensitive mind can better feel the kindness and malice from those around you.

Although he did not look up at Jia Cong, his words sounded much more intimate.

"If I tease my sister, I'm afraid my aunt will..."

"Never mind, it's my fault..."

Jia Cong was halfway through his words when he suddenly noticed the sadness on Lin Daiyu's face.

Thinking that it had been less than a year since Jia Min's death, he quickly looked up and spoke loudly.

"Someone, open the front door and welcome cousin Daiyu into the house!

"Whoever dares to obstruct or delay will be killed!"

"promise!"

……

Having learned from the previous experience, the servants in Rongguo Mansion would not dare to do anything bad on purpose this time.

No care for the rules.

The middle door is wide open!

Several maids carried Lin Daiyu's sedan chair into the mansion and did not put it down until they reached the outside of Rongqing Hall.

She got down from the sedan chair with the help of her maid Xueyan.

Only then did Jia Cong see Lin Daiyu's full appearance.

"Thank you for your support, Brother Cong. Daiyu is honored."

This family has been a marquis for four generations, and this is their first time entering the Rongguo Mansion.

Even the old pedants could not find any fault with Lin Daiyu's manners.

"Speaking of which, I have never met my sister, but I think she looks kind, so I think we are old acquaintances."

"Today we are just meeting again after a long separation."

"It's getting colder in the fall, and my sister is not feeling well."

"I remember there is a white fox fur coat sent from the palace in the courtyard. I will have someone send it to my sister later."

"Come with me into the house first. I guess the old lady has been waiting for you since early morning."

Jia Cong raised his hand to support him.

Although the first half of the sentence was a bit confusing, he was smiling and looked very graceful.

But when Lin Daiyu heard it, it didn't seem strange at all.

I just think that Jia Cong was looking for an excuse to get closer to him, but in fact he was always thinking about Jia Min.

I love the person and the dog in him, and I secretly thought that maybe this was really fate?
After expressing his concern, Jia Cong led Lin Daiyu into the house.

Rongqing Hall is extremely lively today.

Every maid who comes and goes has a good look.

The beautiful girls decorated Rongqing Hall beautifully.
