The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 30 Four to One
Jia Rong soon welcomed his second legitimate son and second illegitimate son.

After the two children were born, Jia Rong brought the sisters You into the qin room.

Also present were Baoqin's good sister, and the maids from the West Mansion, including Ping'er, Yuanyang, Jinchuan, Xiren, etc.

When these girls found out that a baby was born here, they came over to join in the fun.

Jia Rong sat beside Baoqin's bed and said with a smile, "It's just a little different from Yuanchun's. It will be easier to remember this later. Now there are four brothers in our mansion. It would be nice to have some sisters later."

Baoqin was lying on the bed, listening to her son crying in the arms of the nanny outside, and she said happily, "Thank you, Master!"

"It's okay. You can take a good rest and take care of things after a month. I'll be at home during these months. If you can't help me, go and call Brother Feng to help."

At present, all three women have retired to the second line. Jia Yuanchun and Baoqin have just given birth to children and are not suitable for hard work. Qin Keqing is also pregnant and has to take care of her son. She is not the type to take charge of things.

Xiren said, "Master Rong, you have been very tired recently. I think you are still short of women in your family."

"That's right!" Jin Chuan said in support, "Someone is so distressed by you, Master Rong, running around that they can't sleep."

Yuanyang could tell that they were talking about her, but she was too shy to say anything.

She has a strong, generous and opinionated personality, but no matter how opinionated she is, it is not suitable for her to give herself away.

Yuanyang wanted to come over and help, but Jia Rong was indeed very busy. He had been out doing things all day and night recently and didn't like being tied down by a woman.

Several women at home had things to do, but he would run away whenever he wanted in the middle of the night. He did a lot of things like throwing javelins and Molotov cocktails into the palace, which made the emperor and his ministers unable to sleep well recently.

It was only in recent days that I was busy with my wife's affairs that I had some peace and quiet.

Jia Rong's super fast running speed and powerful arm strength make him want to do something beyond the constraints when he is bored.

However, precautions have been tightened recently, and Jia Rong decided to do it next year when he has nothing else to do. Anyway, he just wanted to try out his strength and creativity out of boredom, and there was no deep hatred involved.

This topic was quickly skipped over, and Jia Rong brought the maids out so as not to disturb Yuanyang from resting and eating.

Jia Rong looked at the sun outside. It was already autumn, and the weather was cool and chilly.

“The exam will be around this time next year.”

Yuanyang said quickly: "Then I wish Uncle Rong good grades in advance!"

Xiren smiled and said, "After I pass the imperial examination, I will marry two more aunts."

Ping'er and Yuanyang both smiled and said nothing, and also secretly looked at Jia Rong.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "After passing the imperial examination, you will definitely be busy taking the imperial examination, and then the palace examination. After that, you can enjoy yourself."

"If the old lady and Brother Feng are willing to send you over, I will definitely take you."

Jia Rong spoke directly to prevent the two girls from having wild thoughts.

Ping'er and Yuanyang both breathed a sigh of relief. This was the real affirmation they had received.

The Yu sisters, who were standing by, were envious and wanted to become one of them.

Unfortunately, the master was too busy and they had only seen each other a few times this year.

A group of people went to see Jia Yuanchun again. Jia Yuanchun gave birth yesterday morning and she is much better now, but she is still in bed taking care of her two naughty sons.

The one-year-old eldest can already walk and crawl, and is not at all obedient. He runs and crawls around and puts everything he sees into his mouth.

He only calls for his mother when he is anxious, and usually just shouts "hmm" and "ah" randomly.

His intellectual development and growth rate are normal, and he is also physically healthy.

The situation of the second son was similar. With the experience of the eldest son and Qin Keqing's eldest son, Jia Yuanchun also knew how to take care of the second son.

Li Wan got up from the bed and said to the people who came in, "It's almost time. I should go back and take care of Lan Ge'er's reading." The maids were all brought by Li Wan. There was indeed a strict separation between men and women. Unless they were doing something, there had to be someone watching to make things clear.

The two families are not considered one family, and since Jia Rong married Jia Yuanchun, Grandmother Jia actually doesn't like her young family members to get too close to Jia Rong.

Jia Rong said, "I was quite busy in the past few years, and Lan Ge'er was also very young. Now, Lan Ge'er is already eight years old. If there is anything he doesn't understand in the future, just let him come to me for advice. I also have a lot of books and annotations in my house, so he can come and borrow books at any time."

Li Wan was overjoyed to see that Jia Rong was willing to support her son.

"Thank you, Master Rong!" Li Wan thanked happily.

Jia Rong said, "Please give my regards to the old lady when you get back. I'm busy lately so I won't be there."

"Okay." Li Wan didn't say much about such things. She agreed like a good person and left with her people.

After Li Wan and her people left, Jia Rong looked at You Erjie and You Sanjie who were standing aside.

The two sisters made eye contact with Jia Rong, and they both squinted their eyes and expressed their feelings with their expressions.

You Erjie took the initiative to ask: "Master, are you going to chase us away?"

Third Sister You smiled and said, "I think the master is tired. Do you want to go for a walk in the backyard?"

Jia Rong didn't care about these teasings at all. He smiled and said, "How can I bear to drive you away? I wish you could live in the mansion forever."

Third Sister You smiled and said, "But what are we here for? Our names are not right, and our words are not in order."

"She's my aunt, isn't she?" Jia Rong said with a smile, "I've already asked someone to cancel your sister's marriage. They're reasonable people too. They sold my second sister for twenty taels of silver."

You Erjie was both embarrassed and angry. She was embarrassed because it was obvious that he wanted to take her sisters in, and she was angry because she was only worth twenty taels of silver.

Third Sister You was unhappy and said, "Why is it only twenty taels? It's not even enough for a meal."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Don't be so arrogant. How many Duke's mansions are there in this country?"

"Don't think it's easy to get into the Duke's Mansion. I've seen many beautiful women in Jinling and Yangzhou, but how many families are richer than mine?"

"I think you have gotten to know those people from the West Mansion. You didn't learn the good things, but learned the bad things, including the extravagance and waste."

After hearing this, You Erjie and You Sanjie realized how difficult it was to stand here.

Third Sister You approached Jia Rong and said, "I hope you have a conscience. I don't ask for anything else."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "I have a good conscience. Don't worry. You must learn needlework and sewing, and also learn how to serve me. When you have time, go to Second Mistress to discuss this matter."

"When you have learned well, I will take you in and let you know the benefits of being a woman."

Such ferocious words made You Erjie and You Sanjie blush and they quickly agreed with red faces.

Jia Rong had something else to do, so after saying a few words, he went to the study to do his work.

Yinglian was reading in the study. When she saw the master coming in, she quickly stood up from her chair and said, "Master."

"It's okay." Jia Rong had already arranged for the little girl to read and study, and he walked aside to start referring to the winning essays of previous top scholars.

Since entering the Jia Mansion, Yinglian has not done any heavy work. Everyone in the mansion treats her very well, and her mother, who had been separated from her for many years, keeps thanking this good master.

Yinglian herself could feel the good, and soon took the initiative to pour tea for Jia Rong, and then lit the incense burner, serving the master like the maids in the mansion served the eldest lady.

Jia Rong, who already has four sons, studies hard, while Wang Xifeng, who just has a daughter, is very anxious.

Although he got married earlier, he has now been overtaken by the latecomer, with a score of four to one.
