The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 63 Years Ago 2
"No! I'm going to spend the New Year at home this year and I'm not going anywhere!"

Jin Yuanyang said angrily, "Aren't you going to the old lady's place?"

"No! Just like in previous years!" Jia Rong was truly a traitor!
Seeing Jia Rong was angry, Yuanyang could not continue to be angry and make things worse, so she quickly coaxed him, "Then the ladies and girls from Rongfu should come over. You have to entertain them well as in previous years, and you can't lose your temper."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "No problem! This is the money I received, it includes Master She, Master Zheng, and Jia Lian's money, you can take it back."

Jia Rong was the head of the household and helped to collect all the money from the Rongguo Mansion. Now that only Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan were in the Rongguo Mansion, it was inconvenient to do anything.

After receiving the golden purse bestowed by the royal family, Yuanyang felt relieved. Although things did not get better, they did not get worse either. It was just the same as in previous years.

A lot of things happened in the past few days. The old lady felt that she had scolded Jia Rong and that Jia Rong was angry, so she asked her to come and apologize and find a way out.

Normally, Jia Rong, the great-grandson, should have been the first to apologize in such a matter, but Jia Rong did not take it seriously. The old lady was afraid that it would be more difficult to talk if time was delayed for too long, so she took the initiative to ask someone to come over and talk.

After all, everyone knows what kind of person Jia Rong is. It's a good thing if he is willing to go, but it's normal if he doesn't want to go.

After returning, Yuanyang gave the Spring Festival reward money to the old lady and said a few words to help.

"Uncle Rong said that the situation this year is special, so we won't go out for the time being. We will go out after the situation becomes clear. However, we can still worship our ancestors and visit them. Uncle Rong also likes the hustle and bustle, and said that it will be more lively this year with more people."

Yuanyang took the initiative to speak well of Jia Rong. After all, she was Jia Rong's future woman, so how could she be so ungrateful?

The old lady nodded. "That's good. Since he said so, there must be a reason for doing so. We women should not discuss this."

The group of ladies and girls in the room also agreed with what the old lady said.

There was nothing he could do even if he disagreed. His relationship with Jia Rong was already very bad and they almost had a fight.

The old lady was thinking about mending her relationship with the other side, and saw Yuanyang standing beside her again.

"Didn't Master Rong tell you about your situation? You're not a child anymore. I think you can go there when the time is right and come back to visit later."

The old lady felt that Yuanyang should get married, and she had talked about this matter four years ago. Now Yuanyang has grown into a big girl.

Yuanyang explained, "Grandma Rong told me about this matter. She said that Master She had just passed away less than a month ago, so it would definitely not be possible this year. Besides, there are also two aunts, You Erjie and You Sanjie, who are from official families, who have also been delayed. If I marry three concubines next year, it will be bad for my reputation."

The old lady nodded after hearing this, "You are right, take your time with this matter, don't be in a hurry, your uncle Rong is a respectable man, he will not treat you unfairly."

Yuanyang certainly thinks so.

Mrs. Wang, who was standing next to her, was filled with resentment and said angrily, "How can he care about his reputation? I don't think he cares about his reputation at all. He is just playing tricks on people!"

Everyone thought she was just speaking in anger, and even Mrs. Wang herself knew that she was just saying that.

The old lady showed her elder's dignity and scolded him in a deep voice: "The young man doesn't follow the rules, and you don't know the rules either? What if it gets out that there is discord in our family and it delays his future?"

Faced with her mother-in-law's scolding, Mrs. Wang dared not speak.

The old lady thought about this matter carefully again and couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation for Jia Rong.

There are more than one thing that can delay Jia Rong's future. It's so frustrating to think about it carefully. There is nothing that Jia Rong does that will not be delayed.

But he is not afraid!!

Not only are they not afraid, but they also live transparently and become more and more capable.

Compared with his own children and grandchildren, Jia Rong is definitely more promising now.

"Alas! The titles passed down by our ancestors have become less and less powerful from generation to generation. Now that Master Rong has been able to bring honor to the family and raise his title to a higher level, it is a blessing for our Jia family."

"I think he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He may say whatever he wants to women, but he always does decent things and is very nice to both men and women in the Jia family."

"Your Majesty She is such a jerk, yet you have become friends with him regardless of age difference. Even when you and Jia Lian had a disagreement, you have never refused to help him."

"In the future, he will be needed to help with the marriages of Baoyu and the girls. Please visit him more often. If he doesn't come, you can go to his place. Don't be so distant."

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing both thought it made sense. Even Li Wan and Wang Xifeng felt that Jia Rong was the kind of good man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Not long after, the old lady's words were relayed to Jia Rong by the traitor Wang Xifeng.

There are too many traitors in Rongguo Mansion. The old lady's dignity was given by her son. Now that Jia She and Jia Zheng are not here, the old lady is always bullied by Jia Rong, so naturally she can't control the servants.

In the children's playroom of Jia Rong's house, several adults were sitting at the table chatting, while nearby children in cotton-padded jackets were rolling on the couch and riding on wooden horses.

Wang Xifeng looked at her lively and naughty daughter, and smiled at Jia Rong and said, "The old lady said that you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. No matter what you say, you are really good to your family."

Jia Yuanchun smiled and said, "Master is just that kind of person."

Qin Keqing also thought so, that her man was such a good man.

Jia Rong thought about it for a while.

Good to Jia She? Damn good.

Good to Jia Zheng? It seems that it was only about the boiler. I can't think of anything good about other things. Is it because I usually give him face?

But I can't remember when I gave him face.

Good to Jia Lian? Jia Rong glanced at Wang Xifeng. Although this woman was talking to Jia Yuanchun with a smile, she was always paying attention to this side. When their eyes met for a moment, they separated again.

Jia Rong thought carefully and realized that he was not very good to Jia Baoyu. He could tell whether he was good or not by the look on Jia Baoyu's face when he was facing him. As for the others like Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong, he usually didn't take them seriously and had no time to care about them.

Then there are women… this is indeed good.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong couldn't help but smile. He looked at Wang Xifeng, and then at Ping'er who was standing behind Wang Xifeng.

Ping'er was originally looking at the ladies talking and also at Jia Rong.

When Jia Rong looked up at her, Ping'er and Jia Rong looked into each other's eyes and she couldn't help feeling shy.

Jia Rong quickly stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and get some frozen pears."

When the children in the room heard that there were pears to eat, they ran over quickly.

"I'm going with my father."

"Just wait in the house."

Jia Rong quickly rejected his son's filial piety and walked out.

Not long after she walked out, Ping'er lifted the curtain and followed her out quickly.

"Master, grandma asked me to come over and help." Ping'er came over happily to help.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Okay, I just happen to be in need of a helper."

After the two men left, Wang Xifeng in the room laughed and said, "Ping'er, that little bitch, I think she can't help herself. I treat Ping'er like my own sister, so how can I not know what she's thinking? Don't blame me, sister."

Jia Yuanchun was well-educated and sensible. "This is a good thing. How can I blame you? Now I am pregnant again, and there are many things to do at home. I hope my sisters can help me have more children in the future."

Now that she has given birth to two sons in a row, no matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, Jia Yuanchun has fulfilled her mission as a lady.

In the future, you can continue to have more children, and you can also improve your health and educate your own and other people's children.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "That makes me feel relieved. However, Ping'er will definitely have to wait until Yuanyang. I don't think there is any rush in the next few years. On the contrary, I am too busy with a lot of things here."

After hearing this, Qin Keqing laughed and said, "Then you better be careful. If Ping'er gets pregnant, you won't be able to do anything about it. What's going to happen will happen."

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at her, "How could I not know how powerful she is!"

Third Sister You laughed and said, "How do you know how powerful it is, Sister Feng? You haven't tried it!"

Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "I only gave birth to a few sons, and your family has given birth to a few more. Isn't this obvious? You don't know how much my men envy your Master Rong! They have repeatedly sought advice from him!"

After hearing this, Third Sister You said with a smile, "Then you have to learn from your sisters."

They were all women who had experienced sexual intercourse, and there were no older girls among them, so they didn't care about the rules as much as usual.

Both men and women have desires, but there are not so many taboos between sisters-in-law and aunts.

However, such matters would definitely not involve a woman like Li Wan. Li Wan is not only a widow, but also a woman from a scholarly family.

On the contrary, Wang Xifeng was born into a Wu Xun family and was raised as a boy since childhood. Qin Keqing's family does not have a good reputation either, especially in recent years, they have been exposed to too much bad information.

You Erjie and You Sanjie usually say frivolous words like "woman" and "bitch".

Although Jia Yuanchun was well-educated and well-mannered, she couldn't bring herself to criticize Jia Rong in her own circle of women since he was following a guy like Jia Rong. She just smiled and said nothing.

After the topic of women was over, Jia Yuanchun quickly took a pen and paper and decided with Wang Xifeng about the New Year's wine.

"On the first day of the New Year, we have to go to the palace to pay homage, and then we have to offer sacrifices to our ancestors and drink wine when we come back."

"The first day of the New Year is for the close relatives of the same family, the second day is for the distant relatives, and the five generations of relatives and friends all greet each other. Starting from the third day, relatives, people of the same age, colleagues, and old friends greet each other. On the sixth day, the female family members go out and the daughters return home."

Wang Xifeng cannot write and knows only a few words, but she handles a lot of things in her daily life and understands various things without having to know any words.

On the contrary, because Jia Rong does not recognize any relatives, Jia Yuanchun has little experience in dealing with things and no practical experience.

One of them speaks and the other writes.

Arrangements for the New Year must be decided in advance, especially who to invite must be known to each other, so as to avoid having others come over and sit at the same table with unfamiliar relatives, or having to deal with two banquets at the same time and not being able to go to either house.

After deciding the order of visiting relatives and the general arrangements before the fifteenth day, Wang Xifeng got down to business.

"The rules of these two mansions are different, and the rewards are also different. Maids and servants often say that Rong Mansion is not as good as Ning Mansion. I think the gold and silver anklets for the New Year this year have been prepared. Even the amount of rewards should be set, and both sides will be the same, so that there will be no comparison after the New Year."

Jia Yuanchun nodded, "It should be so."

At this time, Jia Rong and Ping'er came in with two basins of frozen pears. Baoqin had already prepared a wooden basin and hot water.

Although cold water can also thaw the ice, children cannot wait that long.

"Go away. I'll call you when it's time to eat." Jia Rong scolded the children who gathered around him and didn't let them get close to the water basin.

Jia Rong quickly walked to the table and sat down, saying to Wang Xifeng, "Just now I went to the kitchen and found that the villagers had sent a lot of quails. I asked the kitchen to fry some. There are also quail eggs. Let's eat them before we leave."

Wang Xifeng said happily, "Great! There are still a lot of things to do during the New Year, and I've arranged them all today!"
