The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 12 Leisure Fun
Two months of good days passed, and soon Qin Keqing's belly became big.

Baoqin and others were waiting in line excitedly and anxiously, but they also knew that there was no way to prevent Jia Yuanchun's child before he was born.

Seventeen-year-old Jia Rong was already considered an adult in this feudal era when it was common to get married at the age of fifteen.

Every day he made friends with scholars and nobles, entertained guests as the head of the Jia family, and was also busy with the family business and various affairs.

By the way, try to make entertainment props such as guns and ammunition.

There is already little time for nighttime entertainment, and now that his wife and concubine are both pregnant, he must be unhappy.

Fortunately, the maids were not only willing to take action, but also to talk nicely. After they persuaded Jia Rong well, Jia Rong, who knew the reason, finally gave in and was willing to study hard.

Jia Rong knew that he should not waste his time when he was young, so he spent more time planning, accumulating knowledge, and managing relationships.

Jia Rong, who had nothing to do, asked people from his hometown in Jinling to look for Xiangling, but he took the initiative to accompany Jia Yuanchun to the Rongguo Mansion for fun for the first time in a long time.

Jia Rong was in charge of the Ningguo Mansion. Although the Ningguo Mansion made money, it was all Jia Rong's money, so the servants had less food, clothing and other expenses.

Fortunately, although the food, clothing and other expenses are not as luxurious as those in Rongguo Mansion, we can still get some money to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year.

On the contrary, the people in Rongguo Mansion wore gold and silver, dressed magnificently, and ate delicacies from land and sea. They spent more and more every year and could no longer control the money.

Fortunately, our ancestors have accumulated enough, and as long as we don’t take political sides, we can last for many years even if we are extravagant and wasteful.

Because Jia Yuanchun did not enter the palace, there was no need to spend huge amounts of money to build the Grand View Garden, nor did she need to be blackmailed by the palace supervisors, and she would not encounter various problems because of her political stance.

Jia Zhen died early, which also accumulated great merit for the Jia family!

If Jia She died quickly, the Jia family would be much quieter, but it would be much safer.

While Jia Rong and his pregnant wife were walking towards the old lady's room, he was planning how to torture Jia She to death.

Should we give him some aphrodisiac?

Jia Zhen’s contribution after death is greater than when he was alive, and the earlier he died, the greater his contribution.

If Jia She is gone, there will be hope for the Rongguo Mansion.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong thought to himself: Old Mrs. Jia must kowtow to me. Without me, this family would be in such a mess!

Grandmother Jia had no idea how wicked this guy was. She even sent someone out to greet him after she knew he was coming.

"Uncle Rong is here!"

As soon as I entered the mansion, I met Wang Xifeng and Li Wan who came to greet me.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Mr. Rong, what's the matter with you coming here? You are not usually seen coming here!"

Jia Rong would not come here normally, even though he had been married to Jia Yuanchun for a long time, he would not come here for no reason.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Aunt, what are you talking about? Can't I come over and have some fun if I have nothing to do?"

Wang Xifeng didn't dare to argue with him, "Look at what Master Rong said, everyone is looking forward to your coming!"

When Jia Rong married Jia Yuanchun, the generation order was messed up.

Fortunately, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and her seniority is still calculated according to the man Jia Rong.

But sometimes it is better to call someone less if possible.

For example, when Jia Yuanchun sees her parents, she still calls them "Dad and Mom", and it is impossible for her to call them "Grandpa".

It's not that Jia Rong wanted to make trouble, but the Jia family didn't want to marry Jia Yuanchun to Jia Rong at all.

However, it was Jia Zhen who was beaten to death for no apparent reason. The daughter of the Jia family, who had provoked a powerful enemy in the martial arts world, was not suitable to enter the palace to escape disaster, so the problem was left to the royal family.

It was the royal family that didn't want Jia Yuanchun, not the Jia family's unwillingness. Moreover, the dead are the greatest, and no one will blame the Jia family for this matter. This solves all problems perfectly!

It was already spring, and Jia Rong and a few others entered the room together. Li Wan and Wang Xifeng stood on either side of Jia Yuanchun, who was six months pregnant.

Jia Rong looked at Wang Xifeng's graceful body and said with a smile, "Aunt, what's wrong with you? You've been married for three or four years, but you're still pregnant. Is it my uncle Lian who is not good enough, or is it you who is not good enough?"

Wang Xifeng's face froze. No matter how good at speaking she was, she found it hard to resist when Jia Rong touched on the heart of the matter.

Jia Yuanchun said quickly, "Master, please stop teasing Feng Lazi. Don't you know medicine? Help her."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "I think there's nothing wrong with you, Auntie."

Wang Xifeng suddenly relaxed, her face turned rosy again, and she said with a smile, "You just know how to make fun of me. I don't believe you have any medical skills."

Jia Rong said: "Believe it or not, if you believe it, you can come to Ningguo Mansion to find me, and I will help you take a look, but you have to give me a reward."

Wang Xifeng cares very much about the issue of offspring, so she is naturally willing to make any sacrifices in order to have a child.

"What benefits do you want? As long as you can give me a child, I will give you everything! Whatever you want, I will give you!" Jia Rong said directly: "Please ask Jin Yuanyang if she is willing to be my third aunt."

Jin Yuanyang was a maidservant serving the old lady, Lady Jia, and was very much loved by the old lady.

At this time, the maids beside Li Wan and Wang Xifeng, as well as the maids beside Jia Yuanchun, all stopped and looked at this gentleman.

The scene fell silent.

People here underestimate his thickness of skin.

"Now that Yuanchun and Keqing are both pregnant, it's time for my Ningguo Mansion to have more children. I'm not interested in men, and I don't want to waste my energy, so I just thought of Yuanyang."

Wang Xifeng didn't want to speak, so she said directly: "It's not easy for me to bring this up. You can go and ask her first. If she agrees, it will be easy. If she doesn't agree, I won't force her. After all, the old lady also needs someone to take care of her."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Why don't I just give Ping'er to you? It's really troublesome to find Yuanyang."

Ping'er, the maid behind Wang Xifeng, suddenly became nervous.

Jia Rong glanced at Ping'er with a smile, then looked at Wang Xifeng who was also smiling.

"That's great, but I know you'll be reluctant to let her go. Ping'er is your right-hand man, how can I take her away?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Ping'er is my good sister. Of course I hope she will marry a good family. Why are you being so polite to me?"

Jia Rong said, "Ping'er belongs to Uncle Lian. It would be outrageous for me to take her away from him."

Wang Xifeng said, "Don't worry, she is my maid and she is clean!"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "I was told that your aunt is too strict and makes my uncle very uncomfortable. In the future, Uncle Lian will be the head of Rongguo Mansion. How can you not find him an aunt to have children?"

Wang Xifeng didn't care at all when someone said this to her.

She chuckled and said with disdain, "You only know how to speak for him, but not for me. It seems that I don't hang out with you often, and you don't know how to speak for me at all."

Taking a concubine is not allowed. Both Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng are very resistant to men taking concubines and are extremely overbearing.

Jia Rong didn't want to marry this woman because of her personality, but it didn't matter after they got married.

"Okay, it seems that I don't have time today. Come to my place some other day and I'll take your pulse and prescribe some medicine to regulate your body. I think you are overworked."

Only then did Ping'er dare to speak, and said quickly: "Grandma is very busy on weekdays and often has headaches. Please, Uncle Rong, help my grandma!"

"But didn't Uncle Rong just say that my grandma's stomach was fine? Then why is there no movement?"

Wang Xifeng was also concerned about this matter, but Jia Rong said, "I just remembered that I have an appointment with a friend today. I have to go and do my work now. Please say hello to the old lady for me."

"Don't forget about me, Aunt! Ask me in private and just write me back someday!"

Jia Rong ran away quickly. Even though he was only a few steps away from the old lady's room, he left without looking back.

From the beginning to the end, I never took my elders seriously.

Wang Xifeng shouted anxiously, "Don't run! Explain it to me clearly!"

Wang Xifeng was about to chase after him, but after running a few steps she couldn't catch up and could only stamp her feet in anxiety.

Soon, a maid who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin and beautiful appearance but simple dress came over.

"What are you guys arguing about? The old lady asked me to come out and see why it's so noisy."

When Jia Yuanchun and Li Wan saw Jin Yuanyang coming out, they looked at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng walked over quickly and said directly, "Yuanyang, what do you think of Master Rong?"

Jin Yuanyang was just a maid, but the highest-ranking maid beside Lady Jia. When she saw Jia Yuanchun, Li Wan, and Ping'er's smiling expressions, she instantly guessed what was going on.

"Uncle Rong... is a good man, promising, talented, kind-hearted... and good-looking..."

Jin Yuanyang still couldn't believe it, but when she thought about the fact that Jia Rong's wife and aunt were both pregnant, she gradually became nervous.

Wang Xifeng guessed what she meant from her expression and looked at her with a smile.

Jin Yuanyang also confirmed what was going on from Wang Xifeng's expression, and at the same time looked carefully at Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Yuanchun nodded to show her affirmation and acceptance.

Jin Yuanyang quickly nodded to Wang Xifeng.

it is more than words.
