Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

"Master, Aunt Pei is here." Zhiwen blessed Fushen and said respectfully.

Jia Rong raised her eyebrows, paused for a moment while copying the "Great Compassion Mantra", and said, "Let her go to the small hall and wait."

Zhiwen replied, blessed himself, and withdrew.

Guan Yan took a cautious look at Jia Rong, and then he took the courage to say, "Master, this Aunt Pei is here, why don't you go now?" Now Aunt Pei is the first-class nobleman in the house.

The master's heirs are thin, and he has only one child under his knees. I have been anxious for a long time, but there are many women in the master's backyard, except for a few years ago, Aunt Li gave birth to a daughter for the master, who died before the full moon In addition, the others did not get pregnant again.Now, after more than ten years, Aunt Pei is pregnant, how could the master be unhappy? You can see how much he values ​​Pei Auntie instead of his wife when he stays with Aunt Pei instead of his wife on such an important day as the first day of the Lunar New Year. The child in the aunt's womb is gone.

Taking a slanted look at Guan Yan, he said coolly, "You talk too much." This Guan Yan is sincere, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the wit to wash ink.

Guan Yan dared to speak when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Xi Mo, who was arranging the books, couldn't help shaking his head.Guan Yan is also a bit confused, who is Aunt Pei?It's just an aunt who was born as a maid.Not to mention that she only has a body now, even if she gives birth to a son in the future, she will be nothing more than a bastard.How can the uncle use it to cooperate with her.The uncle is the eldest son of the master's original wife, what a noble status.Not to mention that her aunt is pregnant, even if the wife is pregnant, the uncle doesn't have to worry about it.

The time for a stick of incense has passed.

Just then Jia Rong put down her pen and nodded in satisfaction when she saw that the "Great Compassion Mantra" had been copied.He turned his head and asked Guan Yan: "Guan Yan, how many times have I copied my "Great Compassion Mantra"?"

Guan Yan bowed and replied: "The words returned to the uncle, counting today's transcribed words, there are about 120 times."

"Well, after it's done, put it away with the others." Every day, he would copy the "Great Compassion Mantra" at least once so that he could practice calligraphy, and the copied "Great Compassion Mantra" could also be burned for Mrs. Feng. She will be safe and happy in the next life, and she will never meet someone like Jia Zhen again.The matter of killing two birds with one stone, since the year Feng's death, he has already started.

"Yes, sir."

Jia Rong asked to play Guanyan, and then walked out of the study.

Seeing that Zhiqiu and two young maids were guarding outside, he asked, "How is Aunt Pei?"

Zhiqiu replied: "Auntie Pei is still waiting for the uncle in the small hall, and there is nothing strange about her expression." Even the little maid who followed her was quiet, so it can be seen that Pei It's really extraordinary for my aunt to win over a flamboyant and promiscuous master like a master.

Jia Rong never doubted Aunt Pei's intelligence, so he was not surprised by her behavior, because this is the smart Aunt Pei.

After coming out of the study, Jia Rong did not go to the small hall, but went back to her own room first, changed her clothes, and then went to the small hall.

"My concubine has seen the uncle." Aunt Pei saw Jia Rong walking in, she immediately got up, bowed her body, and said respectfully.

Jia Rong looked at the rouge, gouache and other things that had faded because of her pregnancy, revealing a plain face, a little less charming, and a little more gentle, "Aunt Pei, please get up." Sitting on the main seat, she A little maid poured tea, Jia Rong picked it up, took a sip, and then asked: "Aunt Pei is having a difficult time raising her baby in her own yard, what's the important thing about coming to me at this hour? "

After thinking for a while, Aunt Pei said, "Master is very smart. How can you not know why this concubine is here?" She suddenly put her hand on her abdomen, "Now this child in my concubine's stomach has become a The thorn in the wife's eyes, the thorn in the flesh, I ask the uncle to save the concubine this time for the sake of my loyalty to the uncle in the past. I will definitely repay the uncle's kindness with a straw ring."

Logically speaking, Youshi's natal family has declined, she has no children, and she has long since fallen out of favor, so her scheming and tricks are only average, and the position of the housewife is not secure.If the mansion hadn't been severely punished by the uncle, according to the previous situation in the mansion, the servants who had long been watched by others would have been left aside.How can there be a comfortable life today.To sum up, she shouldn't be afraid of You Shi.

Just one thing, no matter how weak You's natal family is, no matter how unfavorable they are, and no children beside them, she is also the wife of the master who was carried into the mansion in a solemn sedan chair.And no matter how favored she is, she is nothing more than a concubine.As far as the identities of the two of them are concerned, she has always recognized them clearly.If the wife wants to attack her, there are plenty of opportunities, not to mention, although the wife's scheming methods are mediocre.But the girl beside her named Yindie is smart and clever.The child in her womb was something she had been looking forward to for many years, and there must be no mistakes.

She thought and thought, and the only one who could guarantee the safety of the child in her womb was the uncle.

Jia Rong frowned slightly, and said, "What do you mean, is the wife going to do something to the child in your belly?"

Since the news that Aunt Pei was pregnant, Jia Zhen has shown that she attaches great importance to the child in Aunt Pei's womb, which makes all the servants in the house look at her with a little bit of misgiving. subtle.They all want to know if he, who has a violent temper, can tolerate this half-brother.

To be honest, Jia Rong really didn't have any feelings for the child in Aunt Pei's womb, whether it was a boy or a girl.He is already twelve years old this year, and he is already at the age of being in charge here. Even if Aunt Pei gave birth to a son, he is only a bastard, and the age difference is also large, so he can't threaten him at all.Besides, according to the scriptures, Jia Zhen has only one child, Jia Rong, so the possibility of the child in Aunt Pei's stomach being born is very small.

"No, no...that's not what I mean. It's just that the uncle has supernatural powers, and I just want to take precautions to ensure that the child in my womb is safe..."

But before she could finish her sentence, Jia Rong's cool eyes looked on her and she couldn't continue.

Aunt Pei is a very smart person, and she knows that her request is somewhat unrealistic, but except for the uncle, in this Ningguo Mansion, even the master can't pat his chest and guarantee that the child in his stomach will be safe and sound. Fallen grass.So even though she knew that it was unlikely that the uncle would agree before she came, she decided to come and give it a try for the sake of her child after much deliberation.

"Your loving mother, of course I know it here. It's just that I, a son, can't get involved in the matter of the father's house. Aunt Pei is a smart person. How can she settle down? I think you should be I know better than me." Jia Rong looked at Aunt Pei's obviously depressed face, paused, and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. The house is still clear, so how can there be no room for a child?" Just relax your mind."

After Jia Rong's words, she gave Aunt Pei a guarantee, and she agreed to her request just now.Of course, that doesn't mean he's kind.It's just that before he was 15 years old, it was still useful to keep Aunt Pei, and the child in Aunt Pei's womb, regardless of gender, did not pose any threat to him.So he doesn't care whether the child can be born or not.

When Aunt Pei heard Jia Rong's opening words earlier, she felt chills in her heart. She didn't want to turn around, but Jia Rong nodded and agreed. Uncle's great kindness and virtue, I will definitely repay my uncle with a straw title in the future."

"Every few days in the future, I will ask Zhiqiu to feel your pulse. If you have something to do, you can also ask the maid around you to come and find Zhiwen or Madam Wu." Jia Rong said so.

Aunt Pei thanked Jia Rong again, and said a long list of words of gratitude and gratitude in her mouth without even thinking about it.

Jia Rong was the most impatient with this kind of thing. She waved her hand and interrupted Aunt Pei's words, "Okay, just remember what you said, and you don't need to say it again and again. Go back if you have nothing to do."

Aunt Pei thanked her again, and then happily took her maid back home.

"Master, how dare you promise such a thing to Aunt Pei." Aunt Pei just walked away, and Mrs. Wu looked at Jia Rong with some disapproval, and said so.

Jia Rong didn't explain so much to Mrs. Wu, she just said: "Why can't I agree. My father's heirs are weak, and Aunt Pei is lucky to have a son and a half for her father."

When Mrs. Wu saw what Jia Rong said, she knew that he was determined to save Aunt Pei's child.Although she was very unswerving in her heart, after thinking about it, she felt that Brother Rong was right. The only one under the master's knee was Brother Rong. Although there was Brother Qiang, there was no blood relationship after all.Although Aunt Pei is a good citizen now, her mother is still a slave, even if she is allowed to give birth to a child, she is not afraid.

Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Wu's displeasure went away.

Knot the grass to hold the ring?To repay your kindness and virtue?This is what you say and do.Before Jia Rong raised her foot to leave, the corners of her mouth hooked up, and there was a trace of coldness in her eyes, as she thought so.

Yushengyuan

Aunt Pei is now in a healthy body, and her every move is very eye-catching. The news of her past in Jia Rong's yard spread quickly.Although she went there in the name of asking for peace, all the servants in the mansion believed it. After all, although Aunt Pei is rich now, no matter how rich she is, she can't compare to the uncle, let alone she is the first wife out of the side.

In the past, it was normal to greet the uncle.

Of course, You Shi didn't believe a word of such words.

When Yindie came to answer the conversation, Mrs. You happened to come to talk to Youshi, because Youshi had a good impression of this stepmother, and she wanted to ask Mrs. You to give her advice.So regarding this matter, she did not avoid Mrs. You.After hearing this, Mrs. You sighed a little: "This Aunt Pei is really smart."

Youshi said a little uncomfortably: "Mother, you have been here for more than a month. You should have some understanding of the master's temperament. I don't know how many flowers and plants have come and gone around the master in the past few years. Only this Aunt Pei, whose appearance is not the most stunning, has now passed the best flowering period, and there are people in her twenties, but the master still loves her very much. Now she has a child. Is she smart? ?"

"Then, elder sister, what are you going to do now? I think the way I see my uncle is right on Huanxi's head. If I want to touch Aunt Pei at this time, I'm afraid I will provoke the wrath of my uncle. Besides, this Aunt Pei is just Come out from Brother Rong. I'm afraid it's not a good time." Mrs. You said, frowning.

You Shi nodded in agreement, "What mother said is true. Now is not a good time to touch Aunt Pei." Besides, she didn't intend to touch Aunt Pei either.The doctor said that she was weak and might not be able to have a child of her own. If so, she would have to think about the future.What Yindie said was right, it would be fine if Aunt Pei had a daughter in her stomach.If it was a son, it would be a good idea to raise him under his knees at that time.

You must know that childbirth is a gate of hell, and there are countless women who die because of it every year.

Of course, Youshi didn't intend to tell Mrs. You about such things.Although she has a crush on Mrs. You, she is separated from her by heart.Naturally, he wouldn't tell her about such an extremely private matter.

Although Mrs. You said she was quite scheming, but she came out of the small door, and she naturally didn't know about the detours of the big family.Then she nodded and comforted You Shi, saying: "Yes. But you don't have to worry about it, big sister. The pregnancy period is ten months. Who knows what will happen after such a long time?"

Hearing Mrs. You's words, You Shi lowered her eyes, and echoed in a sad tone: "I hope so."

"Eldest sister, you too..."

It's just that the two people who were talking didn't notice that there was a little bit of water next to the vermilion lacquered pillar on the last side.

Wenyuan Pavilion

Just like its name, this courtyard is the most elegant and elegant place.As soon as you enter the yard, the first thing that catches your eyes is the bluish-white porcelain vat on the left that cannot be surrounded by three or four people, with a few lotus leaves floating on it, because it is still in the middle of winter, looking at This remnant lotus always makes people feel a bit desolate, but it also has another kind of beauty.Turning around a wall carved with green bamboo forest, you can see that the door rails and window lattices are all carved with new patterns. The walls of the same color are polished with water. The bottom is Baishitaiji, and the top is also chiseled into a bamboo forest pattern.Looking left and right, you can see a few hibiscus flowers, which are not only rich but also elegant.

Jia Qiang likes to be quiet, so there are not many people serving in his yard, and most of the time it is quiet.

But at this time, one was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a half-new lotus-colored satin jacket, a green satin vest with pinched teeth, and a water-green skirt underneath, with a bee waist and a slashed back, and an oval face, with very beautiful facial features. The servant girl came with small steps.This is Zhidong, the maidservant of Jia Qiang.

When Zhidong came in, Jia Qiang was sitting on the table, copying something with one stroke of his heart.She blessed her body and called out, "This servant has seen the second master."

"Is everything settled?" Jia Qiang asked without raising her eyebrows when she heard Zhidong's words.

Zhidong was blessed again, and replied: "It's already settled to go back to the second master. The servants came to answer after seeing it with their own eyes."

Jia Qiang said, "En, very good."

Zhidong hesitated for a moment, and then asked again: "Second Master, are you really going to do this? Don't you really need to inform me? Didn't you already get the affirmation from the uncle that the uncle will protect Aunt Pei a little bit. Now... is it really okay for the second master to hide this from the uncle? If the uncle finds out, will he blame the second master?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze, and Jia Qiang's hand holding the pen also stopped.After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Brother's heart is too soft, since he can't handle some things, then I will do it. Besides, we didn't do anything? It's just a guide from it. If you want to blame, you can only blame her too much heart." greedy."

Greed is not a sin, and she is so stupid when she is biased. Now that she is being tricked, she deserves it herself.
