The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 298 It’s hard to be a good person
After the invention of harvesters and tractors, it was not difficult to make a car.

Jia Rong finally gave up this troublesome matter.

Rather than trouble many people to make a useless car, Jia Rong would rather compile the technology he knows into a book and publish it.

With the improvement and popularization of steel technology, as well as the improvement of important steam engine and internal combustion engine technology, future industry will become increasingly large.

Jia Rong wanted to build an airplane even more.

But I don’t understand…

I understand cars because I have learned it, and I also know how to repair cars because I have encountered many problems while driving.

I have never repaired an airplane and am not familiar with its internal structure.

However, it should not be difficult to simply make early aircraft.

"take it easy."

Jia Rong began a low-key but fulfilling research journey.

It was busy from May to August.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Jia Yuanchun and Wang Xifeng came to visit Jia Rong.

They are an old couple, and there are maids nearby to help Jia Rong take a bath and change clothes, so there is no need to be shy about anything.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have not been favored in the past few months. This is not good for your health."

Jia Rong didn't care about this and said with a smile: "When I was young, I didn't touch women for three or four years and it was okay. Now I have enough children. It's good to concentrate on my own affairs and sleep well at night."

These words made both Wang Xifeng and Jia Yuanchun feel something was wrong.

After Jia Rong showed no interest in women, Wang Xifeng asked carefully, "Is the emperor ill? Or are you tired of seeing us old ladies?"

"If you think we are ugly, you can just find some young girls. Now we all have several children. We dare not be greedy and always get the emperor's favor. We just hope that the emperor will put state affairs first and leave more offspring."

The age issue is unavoidable, and Wang Xifeng, Jia Yuanchun and others have gradually reached the age of accepting their fate.

Jia Yuanchun also said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Empress Shengren, Sister Feng and I have already selected beautiful beauties for Your Majesty. These beauties are not only good at singing and dancing, but also have exotic beauties with good figures. We have also arranged in advance how they should serve Your Majesty."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "I have seen them all. The emperor will definitely like them. They are all passionate, their eyes can speak, and their buttocks can wiggle wildly!"

Jia Rong became interested, and seeing that Jia Yuanchun and Wang Xifeng both took the initiative to recommend it, he accepted it with a smile.

"Then I'll try it tonight." Jia Rong planned to watch a singing and dancing performance.

As for pampering them, forget it. They do it for the sake of pregnancy, and there is no way for you to make them pregnant, so let's not waste your energy on each other.

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Rong charmingly, walked over to him and sat down beside him, placing her hands on his legs.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you been to court for a few months? You have become so casual again. Now that you are the emperor of the Holy Dynasty, you can't always call yourself so casually as before. You have to follow the rules. Otherwise, how can you manage your subordinates well?"

Jia Rong took Wang Xifeng's hand that was on his leg and said with a smile, "Then you two should kneel down and pay your respects. I still have things to deal with."

Jia Rong's original intention was to let them go back and stop getting in his way.

However, the two women had no intention of leaving and insisted on humiliating themselves.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Yuanchun quickly knelt down in front of Jia Rong, continuing to kneel in an M shape facing Jia Rong, supporting their hands behind their backs, raising their heads and looking at Jia Rong with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

"explain."

Jia Rong looked at the two noble ladies kneeling on the ground and didn't want to bother them at all. They were the ones who were tormenting themselves.

When you have nothing to do, just eat, drink and have fun. Why do you have to worry about this and that?

However, Jia Rong also felt that he was like the bad man described by women in many novels.

What he probably needs is not a woman, but more like a mascot.

A woman who only needs to sit in her position as a wife does not need to do anything for herself, she just needs to sit there quietly.

Don't cheat, whether it's in bed or somewhere else, it doesn't matter, there are other women to have fun with.

A simple woman who can be a wife will do.

In terms of romantic interests, there are Qin Keqing, You Dajie, You Erjie and You Sanjie, and there is no shortage of people in this category.

As for the housekeeper, there is Wang Xifeng, who is strict with her subordinates but kind to her family.

Yuanyang, Ping'er, Xiaohong and others are responsible for doing things.

There is also Yinglian who is gentle.

Qingwen is also there to chat and relieve boredom.

The poetry game also features Lin Daiyu and others.

Jia Rong's requirements for Jia Yuanchun are very simple, but she is not a mascot, she is a woman, so she can't always do these things. Jia Yuanchun may have realized Jia Rong's requirements for herself a long time ago.

These requirements...are exactly what women's virtues are required of in this era.

It’s just that various things have forced Jia Yuanchun to do something.

"Your Majesty, the Shu King's Concubine is old and has been feeling unwell recently. She has come to me several times and wants some magical medicine to relieve the pain."

Jia Rong heard this and asked, "Didn't I tell you to take care of this? Just give it to me yourself. Don't bother me with such a small matter."

Jia Yuanchun said awkwardly, "Your Majesty, we still have plenty of inferior fairy tablets and cigarettes, but the painkillers and analgesics that the Majesty personally made are no longer available."

Wang Xifeng knelt beside her. She knew a lot about the family affairs and took the initiative to share Jia Yuanchun's worries.

"Your Majesty, actually there were none left last year. When Your Majesty was in seclusion for the second time last year, there were many things going on in the court. A lot was given during the festival, and there are only a few left."

"Then it was slowly used up. I had thought I would use it after the emperor came out of seclusion this year, but I didn't expect that the emperor didn't go into seclusion this year and was busy with the craftsmen's work."

Jia Rong's men could only make simple painkillers, and they did not have the skills and utensils that Jia Rong had.

There are too many things to do nowadays, and the court is short of manpower, so it mainly focuses on industry.

The advancement of medicine requires the joint efforts of many people. From equipment and tools to pharmaceutical machines, only when they are all started together can we enter modern medicine.

Of course, the most important thing is that the side effects of that powerful drug are very serious... It is very easy to become addicted and turn to more advanced magic films.

"I don't have time for that. Let her be patient."

Jia Rong didn't want to hurt anyone anymore, so he sighed helplessly and said to himself: I just want to be a good person now and don't want to hurt anyone anymore.

Jia Yuanchun hesitated for two seconds, looked at Jia Rong carefully and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother of Shu once sent her niece to the palace to serve Your Majesty. She was a female official in the Inner Teaching House."

Jia Rong had no recollection of it at all. He had been in the Holy Palace for more than five years. There were so many women serving him in the palace, and these women were just there to play with him. Jia Rong had no recollection of how many he had slept with.

Who will count this...

Perhaps the female official who recorded his daily life remembered it, but Jia Rong never cared about these numbers.

The only thing that was certain was that she was not pregnant.

If you are not pregnant, then everything will be fine.

"Then send her away. I already have more than 30 concubines, and they are not young anymore. If I meet someone I like in the future, I can take her as my concubine. If I don't want to take her as my concubine, I will naturally not touch her."

Jia Rong has never had much desire for women. The main reason he took in the women of the Jia family was that he had more contact with them, and also because he had his own thoughts about the Twelve Beauties of Jinling.

If I have time, I would rather focus on things that interest me rather than those low-level interests.

Seeing this, Jia Yuanchun had no choice but to agree.

"As you wish..."

Soon the two of them took their leave, and Jia Rong changed his clothes and went to the factory to work on his plane.

It wasn't long after they were busy, just over an hour, that Yinglian walked in quickly.

"emperor!"

Yinglian did not kneel down, but walked straight to Jia Rong to speak.

Jia Rong asked, "What happened?"

Yinglian replied, "The Concubine Dowager of the Prince of Shu was wailing in the Yangxin Palace. The Princess of Shu wanted to commit suicide by banging her head against the wall, but the Empress stopped her, saying that the Emperor had granted them the death penalty and they had to die."

Jia Rong was so upset that he almost couldn't control his temper and went over to beat the two spiteful women to death with his own hands.

No, I want to be a good person.

Jia Rong quickly comforted himself and soon calmed down his inner impulse.

Jia Rong calmed down and thought about this matter.

"There is a box of painkillers in my room, which contains 500 painkillers. Give it to the Shu King's Concubine. Tell her to take it back to Shu and not to bother me anymore."

"Let the Princess of Shu go back as well. She is in good health. After she goes back, she should quit drinking and smoking, and stop taking random medicines. She will be able to get pregnant in a year or so."

Jia Rong still solved the problem using the most gentle means.

Yinglian replied: "Yes!"

A few days later, the news that the Queen Mother of the King of Shu had obtained 500 pills of the magic medicine spread throughout the Beijing circle.

A group of relatives and friends came to help her share the poison, but unfortunately the Queen Mother of King Shu did not understand the good intentions of her relatives and friends and refused to share the medicine.

"This is given to me by the Emperor. Go ask him for it yourself! If he doesn't give it to me, you can go and cry to the Queen. Then she will give it to me out of pity!"
