The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 174 Unpredictable Fate

Jia Yuanchun was affected by her mother's family in the west, and it was very serious!
She doesn't care about anything from the West now and would like to cut off all ties with the West.

Madam Wang sighed, "This is the Emperor's will, there is nothing we can do."

Jia Zheng said: "It is a blessing to be given the national surname, which is rare."

Jia Rong looked at Jia Baoyu, "Baoyu and Xiren don't have children yet? I remember there are many girls around you, is there any pregnant?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head and didn't want to talk about this.

The old lady sighed, "He lost his virginity too early. Now he has some health problems. Please help him, Lord Guoxing."

Jia Rong looked at Jia Baoyu and quickly shook his head, "I actually helped him a few years ago, but if I told you at that time, you would only blame me for cursing him."

"Baoyu's problem is congenital. He was born with jade in his arms, so he is destined to be childless."

Xiren suddenly lost her strength and collapsed to the ground.

Ping'er and Xiaohong quickly pulled her up and helped her to the back.

The old lady sighed, "It is true... We found a doctor when we were in Jinling, and we also found an imperial physician after we came back."

"He said he was fine, but the medicine he prescribed didn't work."

"The bad things about him are all the same. They say he is destined to be childless."

Jia Baoyu said angrily: "If there is no such thing, then there is no such thing. I will become a monk in the future!"

Jia Rong said, "If you like this world of pleasure and want to see men and women in love, go to Jiangnan and have a look. If you want to become a monk, don't go to a deserted place. You can practice in the temple outside our city. Don't let your parents worry."

Jia Baoyu didn't want to stay here anymore. Whether it was Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai or the others, the way they looked at him was full of sympathy rather than admiration.

"I'm back!"

Jia Baoyu got angry and walked out.

Jia Rong quickly said, "Jia Lan, follow your uncle out to relax."

"Yes!" Jia Lan quickly followed out.

He is not young anymore. He could shoot a bow and kill people back then. He is no longer a child.

Li Wan was even happier when she saw Jia Rong asking her son to do something.

Now that his son has no hope of passing the imperial examination, he can only have a future by relying on Jia Rong’s powerful connections!

Jia Zheng looked at his son and grandson who were leaving and sighed, "What a misfortune our family has! Such an unfilial son has appeared!"

Jia Rong consoled her, "Eat, today is the day I was given the imperial surname. Tomorrow I have to go to Xiaoling County, and I can't rely on women to handle things there."

Youshi smiled and said, "Feng girl has sent people back several times. How can she handle a large scene with tens of thousands of people? She begged the master to replace her and let her come back quickly."

Third Sister You laughed and said, "She has eaten a lot of silver, and now she is afraid of eating. She has never seen so many lucrative positions in her life."

Everyone laughed. Their status, position and power were no longer what they used to be. They didn't care about such a small matter as greedy for a little money.

Jia Rong looked at everyone laughing and suddenly felt that something was missing. He thought seriously about what he should do.

It was too boring to always receive pressure from the emperor, and Jia Rong suddenly reflected on himself.

It's clearly their own problem, but I always take it out on the emperor. Am I being too much of a pushover?

Jia Rong didn't really care whether the emperor felt wronged or not. He just suddenly felt that he had been wronged at home but instead of fighting back directly, he went outside to vent. He was really a bit like the assassin who entered the palace to assassinate the emperor. He was not a man at all.

Xue Baochai had been paying attention to Jia Rong the whole time. Seeing that Jia Rong was thinking about something, she asked softly, "Master, is there something wrong with Sister Feng?"

Jia Rong said, "Today someone said it was inappropriate for a woman to handle those matters. I am the nominal host, so I naturally have to go over there."

Interrupted by Xue Baochai, Jia Rong quickly forgot what had just happened and continued to talk about the arrangements for the funeral of the three kings.

Whenever he thinks of it, others will be in danger.

Full of uncertainty.

The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the princes in and outside the capital were all on guard against the assassin, not knowing when the assassin would appear. The assassin himself didn't know either.

The assassin always has an idea ten minutes earlier than others, sometimes even just a few minutes earlier.

After dinner, Jia Zheng went back. Li Wan continued to chat with the old lady and Mrs. Wang here and stayed there at night.

Jia Rong didn't like sitting at the table with the old ladies. After dinner, he would sit with the girls and chat.

Miharu was busy making kites, and their respective maids gathered around the table to help.

Because I have done it before, it is also easier to do this year.

Lin Daiyu also focused on making the kite and did not joke or play tricks with Jia Rong.

Yuanyang, Ping'er and Xiren sat together.

Xiren was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, while Yuanyang and Ping'er, who had become aunts, were comforting this good sister.

Ping Er looked at Jia Rong, "Master, is there really nothing Xiren can do?"

Jia Rong shook his head, "Don't think too much. It's fine to be an aunt. Not all aunts have sons or daughters. In fact, I know many aunts of high-ranking officials who don't have any children. Our family is an exception. We met a good man like me."

Lin Daiyu didn't want to talk about Jia Rong at first, but when she heard Jia Rong bragging about himself two meters away, she couldn't help laughing.

Xue Baoqin was helping to make a kite. When she saw Lin Daiyu's expression, she advised, "Sister Daiyu, the master is not lying. Why are you laughing?"

Daiyu said hurriedly, "No, Brother Rong is such a good man, how could I laugh at him?"

Xue Baochai tried to smooth things over and said, "Daiyu is still young and doesn't understand the good of a good man. She will understand in a few years."

Shi Xiangyun said in annoyance, "Stop talking and get back to work. You just talk about men's things all day long. How vulgar!"

Lin Daiyu looked at Shi Xiangyun with a smile, "Okay, Miss Shi has spoken, let's get to work."

Several people worked quickly.

Jia Rong also continued to chat with the maids.

As we were chatting, I don't know what got me wrong, but I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten before.

That’s right! Now there is no sense of tension at home!

What is coming cannot be avoided, this is fate.

Jia Rong was a reasonable man, so he did not seek revenge against outsiders this time.

"Yuanchun, come here for a moment."

Jia Rong called his wife, the wife of the Duke, over.

Jia Yuanchun came over quickly.

Yuanyang and Ping'er, who were comforting Xiren, quickly stood up and gave up their seats with Xiren.

Jia Yuanchun did not sit down, but asked, "What's the matter, Master?"

Jia Rong said, "Sit down and talk. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. It's about time to let the maids go."

Jia Yuanchun sat down, and the maid nearby quickly spread a blanket to protect her legs.

The maids and young ladies nearby were also listening quietly.

Jia Yuanchun said, "We have already let quite a few maids go last year and this year. Have you forgotten, Master? We let more than a dozen maids go after Old Lady You was buried in the twelfth month before the New Year, and quite a few more were let go after the New Year."

"When the Queen came, the wives from outside came in to help. This time, Sister Feng went out to help, and she also borrowed a lot of people from her relatives to go with her. I am also thinking of buying more maids to serve her this year."

It turned out that only more than a month had passed since the last time I punished my family.

Jia Rong showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Oh, I forgot about this. I haven't been to my second sister's place for a long time. I will go to my second and third sister's place tonight."
