The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 111 Unique Insights

Jia Rong returned to the garden from the front yard and found a group of people flying kites near the peach forest.

The garden not only has corridors, pavilions and waterside pavilions, but also has special flat lawns for people to play.

There were deer and cranes living nearby, but they were all driven away now.

Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Qin Keqing, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Wang Xifeng, You Erjie and You Sanjie and others are all here, as well as the children and Miaoyu who has never been seen.

Miaoyu is a great beauty. In terms of beauty, she is no less beautiful than Qin Keqing, but she is also noble and detached, as if she is detached from the world.

He wasn't cold at first, and was smiling just now, but he became cold after I came over.

Jia Rong didn't bother with her.

When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Rong coming, she pulled the kite string and said with a smile on her face, "Master, Ying'er insisted on flying a kite, so the other children teamed up to bother the girls. We couldn't stand their calls, so we all came out to fly a kite."

Jia Ying raised his hand to snatch it, "Give it to me! Give it to me! Mother!"

Seeing that the child was about to cry, Wang Xifeng gave the kite string and reel to the older Qiao'er.

Qiao'er happily took it and quickly raised her head to play with it. Jia Ying continued to reason with her sister.

People who fly kites work in teams of many people.

Lin Daiyu has a maid named Zijuan and a maid named Xueyan.

Shi Xiangyun is assisted by her maids Cuilu and Xue Baochai
Qin Keqing did not compete with her sons, but watched her two sons flying kites.

At this time, the three children separated and started to quarrel and compete with each other.

Around Xichun are two girls, Li Wen and Li Qi, who have little presence. They have been married for several years, but only recently they learned how to curry favor with Jia Xichun and get close to her. They also know that this place is different from their home, and they prefer more lively girls.

You Erjie's child is still young. Although she is flying the kite herself, it is mainly for her son to watch. The youngest son is just giving instructions beside her and seems happy and comfortable when cooperating.

The third sister played by herself, and her son ran behind her.

Jia Yuanchun and the child holding the zither were older and did not like playing with the women. Their kites would easily get hit if there were too many people around, so they played nearby under the protection of the maids. Some of them even climbed up the rockery and stood on the rocks to play with their kites.

Miaoyu didn't fly a kite either. She and Xing Xiuyun stood aside and watched others fly kites.

Aunt Xue, Aunt Li and Mrs. Xing were chatting together in the distance.

Jia Rong just sat on the grass and watched, without disturbing the girls from having fun.

Wang Xifeng came over and said with a smile, "Why is the master silent? Is there something troubling you?"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm glad to see you guys are happy. I haven't had so much free time in the afternoon for a long time."

Wang Xifeng asked with concern, "Are things going well at the court?"

"It went smoothly." Jia Rong smiled. "It will be time to move to the mausoleum in a few days. Then we will have to go to another county to bury the body. I will be away for a few more days."

Wang Xifeng was relieved. She had been scared too many times by Jia Rong and the things happening outside. Seeing Jia Rong sitting on the ground without saying a word, she felt a little scared.

Xing Xiuyan took small steps and quickly came to Jia Rong.

"Master, this is Miaoyu."

Jia Rong and Miaoyu were meeting for the first time, and he politely said, "Master Miaoyu, just treat this place as a temple. I know that Master Miaoyu doesn't like vulgar men, but you can see my family, which is large and has a lot of people to take care of. It's really hard to keep it elegant and clean. You can stay with Xichun and practice in peace in this relatively clean house."

Miaoyu's impression of Jia Rong changed, and she said politely, "Duke Ningguo, there is no need to be modest. To have such an opinion, you must have some wisdom."

Jia Rong smiled.

Holy shit! I was just being polite, and you're so mad?
Jia Rong even wanted to go over and beat her up in the evening, but he felt that beating her now would be worse than beating her in the evening.

But this would make me appear capricious and make everyone afraid of me. Will I have to resort to force from now on?
What a disgusting woman! Jia Rong wanted to beat her but failed, and he hated this woman even more.

Wang Xifeng asked curiously at this time: "Master, how is Sister Yuanchun? I don't know if Yuanyang and the others can serve her. I see there are a lot of people in the mansion. Why don't we send some people over? I'm afraid there are too many things to do with the funeral of the old concubine and they are too busy to attend."

Jia Rong nodded and said, "I'll ask Yuanchun tonight."

Jia Yuanchun and Youshi could not live in the palace, so they went out early and came back late, helping the royal women as if they were going to work every day.

Also present were princesses from various places and wives of high-ranking officials in the capital.

Not only am I busy in the capital, but I will also be busy for a few days when I go to other places for the burial. Now I have asked someone to rent a yard to live in.

All expenses are paid by the family, and the emperor will not subsidize us, but it would be disrespectful if we don't go.

There are many nobles who are willing to pretend to be rich and save face, and they suffer in vain.

Wang Xifeng added, "I don't know if Sister Yuanchun and Madam Tai are used to the food in the palace. A few days ago they came back and said that the food was cold when they were about to eat."

Jia Rong had not heard of this. "Yuanchun didn't tell me, but she was afraid that I would worry. You can ask the kitchen to prepare some hot food and I will bring it to her later."

Wang Xifeng looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. He should be coming back soon."

Jia Rong said, "Today we have more things to do. I guess we still need to discuss the order and positions of the emperor's coffin. We won't be back until dark. Go and ask someone to do it. I will go to the Imperial Hospital tonight. Many people have fainted in the past few days. I will be back tomorrow morning."

Wang Xifeng said, "Then I will go now."

Jia Rong watched Wang Xifeng leave, and then said to Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu standing aside, "Why don't you go fly a kite?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "No."

Jia Rong smiled, "I'll teach you!"

Xing Xiuyun wanted to refuse, but Jia Rong had already pulled her away, leaving Miaoyu alone to continue her noble and noble life.

Miaoyu could only watch her good friend and disciple being hugged by Jia Rong, with a shy and happy look on her face, completely forgetting the sweet and happy expression of her friend.

Seeing this, Miaoyu could only turn around and walk towards Jia Xichun, no longer paying attention to this shameless pair of handsome men and beautiful women.

The spring scenery is so beautiful that I don’t want to go back to the house to chant.

There are people like You Erjie nearby who like to sit alone quietly, so Miaoyu standing here doesn't seem to be in the way or out of place.

Jia Rong's family is prosperous, and several children run around, chase each other and play. They are happy for a short time, but they start to cry because of the fighting between them.

Children always bully their younger siblings by nature. Jia Ying was no match for Qiao'er and soon went to Jia Rong crying.

"Dad, my sister hit me."

Jia Rong was flirting with girls when he heard Jia Ying calling him daddy. He let go of Xing Xiuyan's hand and let her fly the kite by herself, then picked up Jia Ying again.
Jia Rong said to Xing Xiuyan, "You go and play with Miaoyu. I will go and seek justice for this child first."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "Why bother? I'll just give him the kite to play with, so he won't have to quarrel with his sister."

Jia Rong looked at the child, "Is it okay?"

"Okay." Jia Ying just wanted to play with the kite and didn't necessarily want to seek justice from her sister.

Jia Rong then taught Jia Ying how to fly a kite together with Xing Xiuyan.

Miaoyu looked over here from time to time, and after seeing this warm scene, she found that Jia Rong was a very gentle man who was good to his wife, children, and servants.

She didn't know that Jia Rong was just thinking about whether to beat her.

She didn't even know that Jia Rong was very strict with his servants. The servants in her eyes probably referred to maids like Xiaohong, as well as the maids of girls like Lin Daiyu, Jia Xichun, Shi Xiangyun, etc., not all servants.
