The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 42: Crying

Jia Zheng knew that today was Wang Xin's first day reporting to the yamen.

So after leaving the yamen, he came to Tuobi Villa specifically to ask. He was fine when he came, but not when he left, with a strange look on his face.

"What happened?"

Jia She became anxious when he saw Jia Zheng's expression.

"That's what you said."

"I'm so anxious."

Jia Zheng really didn't know how to explain it, so he could only repeat what Wang Xin had said, especially his words of gratitude to the Jia family.

Jia She also shut up.

How could the Jia family have such great ability?

"You admit it?"

"Of course I can't admit it. How can I hide it?" Jia Zheng smiled bitterly. "I haven't even tried to circumvent the situation yet. If I told that brat the truth, even if I did, I'm afraid it wouldn't have such a good result."

"makes sense."

Jia She was annoyed. "You're spending so much money on someone from the Jia family, aren't you? You think our Jia family is easy to bully, and anyone dares to step on us. Could it be your brother-in-law again?"

Jia Zheng shook his head. "Wang Ziteng is far away in Shaanxi, a thousand miles away. How can he take care of him? Moreover, even if he were in the capital, the Jingying Jiedufu is gone, so it wouldn't be so easy."

It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but once he did, Jia She became even more angry.

Even if the position of Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp falls into the hands of another family, the relationship with the Jia family is still there. With the efforts of the younger generation, they will get it back one day.

But Wang Ziteng turned out to be fine.

They had agreed to be of the same blood, but for the sake of his own future, he exchanged his official position for that of the Governor of the Beijing Camp.

If it weren't for the fact that the Jia family really couldn't turn against him, Jia She would definitely not let Wang Ziteng go easily.

Just can't help it.

Now it is the Jia family that is begging Wang Ziteng, and they have to endure many things even if they feel uncomfortable. Jia She is embarrassed because he has finally found a talent, but he doesn't know who will snatch it away.

"They all come to bully the Jia family."

"They're nothing."

Jia She cursed twice.

The two brothers were helpless and dejected.

After returning home, Jia She became more and more angry and asked someone to call Jia Lian over.

For a while.

The servant returned empty-handed and replied, "Second Master Lian has gone out."

"Go find it."

Jia She slammed the table.

The servants did not dare to delay and went to look for him separately. Finally, they found Jia Lian, Xue Pan, and a group of young men playing in a brothel. Jia Lian learned that his father was angry and did not dare to stay. He bit the bullet and said goodbye, riding a horse home with the servants.

As soon as Jia She saw Jia Lian and saw that he was drunk, he became furious.

"You evil creature! I've been working so hard to take care of the household, but you've been living it up outside, living a life of debauchery. Sooner or later, the family business will be lost to you, you evil creature! I might as well kill you, your unfilial son, today for our ancestors."

Jia She cursed him fiercely and slapped him twice.

Jia Lian covered his face and dared not move.

The housekeeper and the servants didn't even dare to persuade him.

However, Jia She was restrained in his actions and did not hurt his son in the end. However, the noise was so loud that Lady Xing and Wang Xifeng both rushed back.

In the evening.

Xue Pan returned home drunk. Aunt Xue talked about Jia Lian being beaten during the day. Xue Pan not only did not sympathize with her, but was secretly proud in his heart, thinking that he had no father left and no one could control him.

They are nothing like the children of the Jia family, who were all beaten and scolded.

Only then can you live a happy life.

"Mom talked for a long time but couldn't explain why Master Lian was beaten."

Xue Pan said with a smile.

"It seems to be because of the guests in the mansion."

"What kind of guests are in the mansion?"

"There is a man named Wang Xin, who is also a member of your uncle's clan, but he is five generations away from you. I heard that he is very talented and your uncle also appreciates him." Aunt Xue introduced.

Xue Pan was not very interested.

Xue Baochai, who was in the inner room, suddenly said, "I heard from Miss Lin that our families also have some connection."

"Why is it involving our family again?"

Xue Pan asked curiously.

Xue Baochai said, "It seems that my uncle helped him when he passed by Yangzhou." "This guy is really good at making connections."

"All we need is a historian."

Xue Pan sneered.

Aunt Xue was stunned by her son's words.

My son always speaks differently from others.

Xue Baochai was speechless and said quietly, "I think this man is very talented. Everyone who has come into contact with him values ​​him. Brother, you should also get to know him more. Maybe he can be of help to you."

"Haha."

"I need his help. He's just a military officer, but my sister keeps referring to him as her. Have you met her before? If that's the case, brother, don't be prejudiced. You can ask her in person on her behalf."

"You idiot, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Aunt Xue was so frightened that she started cursing.

really.

There were already cries coming from the inner room.

When Xue Baochai cried, Xue Pan sobered up and began to feel sorry for his sister. He lost his previous attitude and let Aunt Xue beat and scold him without saying a word.

Aunt Xue was reluctant to hit her son, so she hit him a few times before Xue Pan went back to his room to rest.

Then Aunt Xue went to persuade Xue Baochai.

The north of the Jia Mansion was crying, the middle was crying, and the south was crying.

Baoyu also cried because Lin Daiyu ignored him.

They all burst into tears.

Wang Xin didn't know and looked at the little girl in front of him, not knowing what to do.

"Let you go, you have nowhere to go."

"I told you to go back to Baoyu, but you feel ashamed and don't want to go back."

"I left you here, and you kept crying."

"Just make up your mind. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you. Is that okay? You've been crying all day. If you keep crying, your eyes will really go blind. What will you do if you go blind at such a young age?"

Wang Xin used both coaxing and threatening.

Qingwen didn't know whether she was tired of crying or frightened. Although her tears had stopped, she was still sobbing.

Her face was tearful and she looked coquettish.

The thin little shoulders shrugged.

"I don't know."

Wang Xin understood that the little girl had no idea what to do, after all, times had changed.

So he patiently comforted her, "Just take it one step at a time. Eat first, then have a good sleep. It won't be too late to come up with an idea later."

When she heard the word "sleep", Qingwen looked alert.

Wang Xin was speechless.

Who does the little girl think she is?

"Tubi Villa is so big and has so many rooms. If you're not afraid, you can stay in a house farther away."

Qingwen gritted her teeth. The little girl was still brave.

Just pick up your bag and go.

out the door.

I saw that it was pitch black outside, so I went into the next room.

Hearing the sound of someone making the bed next door, Wang Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally go to sleep.

Don’t say anything else.

The habit of going to bed early and getting up early has been formed.

Qingwen suddenly ran in again.

Without saying a word, he buried his head in tidying up Wang Xin's bed. After everything was tidy, he ran out with his head lowered. Then there was the sound of the door closing.

Wang Xin looked at the flattened bed and found it quite amusing.

"The hot water we brought is getting cold. Hurry up and wash up in the house. It's getting late and everyone else is asleep. You should clean up by yourself. Don't go too far or you might fall."

After being reminded loudly, Wang Xin took off his clothes and fell asleep.

I have to go to the yamen tomorrow.

It is indeed a bit strange to say that I am asked to lead the troops, and I don’t know what the specific rules are.
