The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 22 The Yu Sisters
Jia Rong was delayed in discussing business, and when he came back in the evening he slept in Jia Yuanchun's room.

The next morning, Jia Yuanchun got up and found that Jia Rong was not there.

"Where's the master?"

Baoqin stood nearby and said, "Grandpa went out for exercise. When he first got up, he was afraid of waking grandma up, so he moved very gently. He also asked me to tell grandma that he could just go to the backyard to check, and grandma didn't need to go over."

Jia Yuanchun nodded.

"it is good."

Jia Yuanchun got up and changed her clothes and combed her hair with the help of Baoqin.

There are few rules in Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Rong's relationship with his stepmother is cold, but not bad.

Although Jia Yuanchun also wanted to be a good daughter-in-law, she went to pay her respects to Youshi every day.

However, it was You who took the initiative to come over, and after many times, she realized that it was best for no one to see anyone.

Jia Yuanchun realized that her husband might have said or done something to Youshi, causing Youshi to not dare to regard herself as a mother-in-law.

Jia Yuanchun didn't want to make this matter public.

Not only did she never tell the Jia family, she even helped Jia Rong lie to make it appear that Jia Rong was a very filial son.

Jia Rong didn't let him go to the backyard, and she knew that if she went there, Youshi would come to pay her respects early the next morning.

There are some things that everyone has a tacit understanding about.

Jia Yuanchun didn't even dare to guarantee whether Jia Rong and Youshi were clean or not, but she had to deny such things verbally.

However, this time, when Youshi's mother came with two beautiful girls, Jia Yuanchun felt relieved.

At least these two women are much more distantly related to her than Youshi. If Jia Rong could focus his attention on those two beautiful girls, she would feel at ease.

"I can't go because I'm not feeling well. Have someone give my hairpin to the two sisters, and give fifty taels of silver to Old Lady You and the other two for their expenses."

"Yes!"

Jia Yuanchun had a lot of private money, and Jia Rong gave her a lot of it to reward servants and help her sisters.

On the other side, Jia Rong was practicing martial arts and swordplay not far away in the backyard.

Sure enough, not long after, several maids and the You sisters secretly lay on the wall and peeked in.

Jia Rong quickly performed a set of difficult and handsome moves, and after that he sheathed the sword in a handsome manner!

Suddenly he turned around and looked at the Yu sisters not far away.

The two sisters' faces were burning with anger!
Jia Rong smiled slightly, walked to the poolside railing where the two sisters had been yesterday, sat down, took the book handed to him by the servant, and read it.

The sun shines on my shoulders, as if I were a scholar.

After reading for fifteen minutes, Jia Rong calmed down and walked towards the You family compound.

The two sisters had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they saw him coming, they shyly hid back in the house.

"master!"

"master!"

As Jia Rong approached step by step, the servants outside also greeted him one after another.

Youshi and You Lao Niang went out together to greet them.

Although Old Lady You felt it was strange, it was the son who should greet his mother at home, and it didn't make sense for the mother to go out to greet him.

However, considering that Youshi had no relative relationship with this man and his father had passed away for several years, as a married stepdaughter, being able to bring her stepmother to her husband's family to enjoy the good life was already a strong moral achievement.

Old Lady You also vaguely felt that Mrs. You had a very low status in front of the male owner of this family.

"The master is here!" Yu Shi took the initiative to greet him.

Jia Rong looked at Youshi and the women beside her, then at the You sisters who had just come out of the inner room.

"I heard that Old Lady You and the two sisters were coming, so I came to see them. I was busy last night and came back very late. I didn't come because I didn't want to disturb you."

Youshi said hurriedly, "Master, you have important things to worry about. You can come over anytime you want. Master is the one who takes care of everything in this family. He is also busy taking exams, studying and making money."

"So from now on, if you have anything to say, just tell us directly. We women have nothing to do at home, so why would we be afraid of disturbing others?" Jia Rong said with satisfaction, "That's good. These two sisters must be You Erjie and You Sanjie, right? Let me guess who is the second sister?"

Jia Rong looked at the You sisters and ignored Old Lady You.

Old Lady You finally understood her own social status and stood aside awkwardly, smiling along.

Third Sister You saw that this man was tall and handsome, young and rich, and had a good appearance. He spoke in a humorous and kind manner and was likable. He was also knowledgeable and talented, and was proficient in both civil and military affairs.

Third Sister You smiled and said, "Then come and guess who is the older sister and who is the younger sister~"

You Erjie and You Laonian both thought she was too frivolous. What if she was looked down upon or got annoyed?
However, Jia Rong was not annoyed at all. He smiled and said, "People always say that the eldest son is quiet and the youngest son is noisy. I see that one of you has bright eyes and the other is charming and beautiful. There is no need to say more."

Old Lady You said happily: "Uncle Rong's guess is so accurate!"

Jia Rong, however, did not even look at her, and said to the two sisters, "Am I right?"

Now Old Lady You was more aware of her social status and she stood aside, not daring to say anything more.

Poor old lady You. At this moment, her two daughters were praised by their handsome brother, and she was so embarrassed that her heart was beating fast. She didn't care about her own life or death.

Third Sister You smiled and said, "That's right, but the compliments about us sisters are mostly false."

Jia Rong looked into Third Sister You's eyes and said with a smile, "What's fake about it?"

Third Sister You said shyly, "The eldest and second wives are both first-class beauties. We feel ashamed when we see them. When the master said we were beautiful, what else could he say but a lie?"

Jia Yuanchun and Qin Keqing are indeed more stunning beauties than the two sisters. With a beautiful woman like Qin Keqing around, the rest of the people feel that being a concubine is not even worthy of their attention.

In this case, being asked to be a concubine is naturally a blessing, and appearance is definitely not what matters.

Baoqin is Jia Yuanchun's maidservant, Yuanyang is steady and the most capable maid in the Jia family. Ping'er was given by Wang Xifeng herself and has been familiar with this place since childhood, so it can be considered an element of luck.

You Shi took the initiative to say, "Master, there is a lack of servants around you. Why not let them serve you?"

Not even a concubine, Youshi is making the You sisters serve as maids.

Without waiting for the two sisters to say anything, Jia Rong got angry.

"What are you talking about?" Jia Rong said sternly, "How could these sisters come here to work? There are more than a thousand servants in Ningguo Mansion, how could we be short of two workers?"

Jia Rong said to You Erjie and You Sanjie, "I am usually busy with studying and household affairs. My wife and concubine are about to give birth. I have been busy recently and have very little free time."

"If you have any problems, tell the maid to inform me. I don't come here very often, so don't be shy."

You Erjie said hurriedly: "No, no, I should be grateful for being able to live here."

Just at this moment, a maid walked in from outside the door. It was Jia Yuanchun's maid Baoqin.

"Master, grandma is not feeling well today and cannot come to pay respects. Knowing that Old Lady You is here, she asked me to bring gifts to Old Lady You and the two girls."

Jia Rong quickly asked, "What's wrong with Yuanchun? I'll go back and take a look!"

Jia Rong said to the sisters Yu, "You can have some rest and play here. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the study to borrow some books or walk around. I'll come back when I have time. Now I'll go back and take a look."

Seeing that Jia Rong loved his wife, You Erjie and You Sanjie were both envious and moved.

Third Sister You pushed him out, "Master, please go back quickly. We are fine here. Unless you want us to leave, we won't be willing to leave~"

"Okay! I'll ask someone to make some new clothes for you later." Jia Rong said and left quickly.

After Jia Rong left, Baoqin quickly gave the money and jewelry to Old Lady You and the two sisters, and then left.

Old Lady You was holding fifty taels of silver at this time, and said happily: "Mr. Rong is really generous, he looks like a good man!"

Third Sister You smiled and said, "What do you mean by 'watch'? He is a good man! It is a blessing to marry such a man!"

You Erjie also agreed with her sister's opinion and chuckled, "Don't be so reckless, or you might scare others."

Third Sister You looked at her elder sister with a smile, "What family? I think you are thinking about love!"

"You are the one who is thinking about love!" You Erjie turned around and ignored her, as if she was angry.

Third Sister You smiled and said, "When I pushed him just now, I found that he was very strong and sturdy! We can borrow some books from him and chat with him later."

You Erjie didn't say anything, obviously agreeing.
