The filial son of the Red Mansion

The world of Red Mansions is really great. There are so many beautiful people you can get close to, and those you can’t get close to can be buried to get rewards.

Jia Rong was moved, and with a smile on his face, he said, "I've seen her, and she is indeed a pretty girl. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble these days!"

Wang Xifeng was quite pleased with what he said, and said complacently, "It's just a small matter. When you marry the girl from the Qin family, it won't be too late for you to come and thank me together."

Jia Rong said, "From now on, I will bring her here every day to pay my respects to my aunt."

"That's a nice thing to say, but don't forget your aunt just because you have a wife." Wang Xifeng glanced at him sideways, and without waiting for Jia Rong to argue, she continued, "The Qin family has always had some connection with our family. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very good-natured. Even the old lady likes her very much. Rong'er should control her temper after getting married and bring a son to the family as soon as possible."

"My nephew will definitely work hard then!"

Jia Rong replied with a smile, only to notice that Wang Xifeng's expression was not right.

In fact, he also knew that the most regrettable thing for Wang Xifeng was that she had been married for three or four years, but there was still no movement in her belly.

I don't know how many times the ladies in Rongguo Mansion have complained to her about this.

The relationship between the Ning and Rong families was also deep. In the past, Jia Rong's great-grandfather Jia Yuan had the merit of following the emperor, and was named Duke of Ning. Jia Yuan's brother Jia Yan was named Duke of Rong. Although the Jia family had two dukes in different families and passed down for several generations, they were still as close as a family.

The Ningguo Mansion had few descendants, and Jia Rong's grandfather's generation was a single-line inheritance.

The Rongguo Mansion has a large population. There are two brothers of the same generation as Jia Rong's grandfather. The eldest son is Jia She, who inherited the title of first-class general; the second son is Jia Zheng, who is currently a deputy minister of the Ministry of Works. Wang Xifeng's husband Jia Lian is the eldest son of Jia She, the eldest son of the first son, and the future inheritor of the title of Rongguo Mansion.

It is a big deal wherever the heir to the title has not had any children for many years.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for Jia Lian.

Although Wang Xifeng was beautiful and charming, she was resolute and fearless, and she was also jealous. Before she gave birth to a child, she would not allow Jia Lian to take a concubine, and even sent away the maids who came with the dowry and kept only one loyal assistant.

Jia Rong thought to himself: If I were treated like this, I would definitely let women know what Qicilang is!

Wang Xifeng was a very clever person. Seeing Jia Rong's hesitation, she asked, "Rong'er, you didn't come here just to thank me, did you?"

It's comfortable to talk to a smart woman.

Jia Rong smiled and explained his purpose. "My father sent me to ask Auntie, saying that the master of the Qin family will be coming over tomorrow, and he wants to borrow the glass screen that Auntie's uncle's wife gave her the other day, and then just put it up and send it over."

Wang Xifeng lowered her eyes slightly, then glanced at him sideways and said, "You were a day late. I gave it to someone yesterday."

Jia Rong was not a dull person, and he understood the meaning of this expression. Wang Xifeng was not unwilling to lend, but simply enjoyed the feeling of being asked by others, being needed by others, and being able to show her ability.

Women who are smart, strong-willed and like to show off are actually very easy to deal with.

A real man can bend and stretch, let alone a child of about two hundred months old.

What's the big deal if I show a little weakness, express my grievance, and beg this pretty aunt? Besides, asking for help is the easiest way to get closer to her.

Men have to be thick-skinned.

Jia Rong did just that. He hurried forward, squatted down by the edge of the kang with a smile on his face, grasped Wang Xifeng's hand, and begged, "Aunt, you also know my father's temper. If you don't lend it to me, and you say I don't know how to speak, I'll get a good beating. Please just pity your nephew."

Wang Xifeng obviously did not expect his slightly out-of-line behavior. Although she did not think much about it, a strange look flashed across her face when her little hand was grabbed.

"I haven't seen any good things from you either. Are all the things from the Wang family good? You have those good things there, but I just can't see them. But mine are the good ones." As he said this, he shook off Jia Rong's hand.

Jia Rong nodded repeatedly, his face full of sincerity.

"How can this be better than Auntie's!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Wang Xifeng's hand and begged her, thinking at the same time that he must get close to such a beautiful person before burying her.

Wang Xifeng frowned slightly and said unhappily, "What are you touching?"

Jia Rong said: "My nephew knows how hard it is for you to run the household. It just so happens that I have recently learned a way to relax my muscles and relieve my fatigue. I only ask that you will have mercy on me!"

Wang Xifeng waved her hands repeatedly, "Go away, go away. You are getting married but you are still like your children, without any rules. If you touch anything, you'd better watch your skin." Then she asked her confidants Ping'er and Feng'er to take the key and find someone to carry the things.

Jia Rong saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so he planned to run away. "I personally brought someone to take it away, so that they wouldn't touch it."

Although Wang Xifeng was dissatisfied with Jia Rong's unruly behavior, she was very satisfied with his sensible words. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: After all, he is going to get married, not the little boy who used to follow her around.

Seeing Jia Rong was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "Rong'er is back. Ping'er and Feng'er are watching over her."

He then called Jia Rong to sit down on the edge of the kang, and seeing that there was no one around, he said, "I have something to ask you."

Jia Rong was sitting upright, and when he smelled Wang Xifeng's fragrance, he couldn't help but have some strange thoughts in his mind. He also looked at her bright red phoenix eyes, and when he saw Wang Xifeng from a close distance, her appearance became even more gorgeous and beautiful, and he felt a little itchy.

Only when Wang Xifeng's voice reached his ears did he suddenly come back to his senses.

"Money loan?"

Wang Xifeng asked me to lend money at high interest rates? Isn't that cheating! If you weren't beautiful and so nice to me, I would have buried you!

Chapter 3: Stopping Wang Xifeng from lending money at high interest

Lending money at high interest is something that is against the moral code and is not something a kind person like me can do. What's more, it can easily get me into trouble.

Don't do it!

Absolutely not!

No matter how much benefit there is, I won't do it.

Jia Rong secretly pouted.

Although he wanted to go along with Wang Xifeng, it was definitely not this kind of going along.

There is a funeral system, do we still need to put up interest?

How much can you earn by lending money? Can it be as fast as what I earn by working as a funeral director?

A level 1 treasure chest has a chance of opening several hundred taels of silver notes. After Jia Zhen is buried, not to mention the rich family property of Ningguo Mansion, I wonder how many good things will be opened from the level 7 treasure chest alone.

He remembered that in the original novel, Wang Xifeng did secretly lend money without telling the Rongguo Mansion, and only earned a thousand taels of silver every year.

The only thing I didn't expect was that in the original novel, Wang Xifeng lent money at high interest and even her husband Jia Lian didn't know about it, but now she is discussing it with him.

This auntie really knows how to pick people!

Jia Rong said with a strange look on his face, "Aunt wanted to do this, and I didn't try to persuade her. I never thought that you were so poor that you had to rely on such a lowly business to make a living."

"Bullshit, when has your aunt ever been poor? If we, the Wang family, just sweep the cracks in the floor, it will be enough for your Jia family to live for a lifetime!" Wang Xifeng was used to being domineering. She got angry and kicked him.

Jia Rong didn't tolerate her and directly grabbed the kicking foot.

Wang Xifeng said, "Let go!"

Jia Rong didn't want to make things awkward now, so he suppressed his temper and said, "Aunt, why did you want to lend money?"

Wang Xifeng tried to pull it back, but her ankle was tightly held and she couldn't pull it back. Looking at Jia Rong's face again, she couldn't help but feel a little strange, but she refused to give up. She cursed to gain momentum: "You heartless son of a wild buffalo, let go quickly, can you just hold a woman's feet casually?"

Seeing that she was changing the subject, Jia Rong knew that Wang Xifeng didn't want to make things awkward, so he smiled and said, "Aunt is not someone else!"

"Bah, bullshit! You are a fool, your heart is blinded by greed, and your tongue is rotten. How dare you say disgusting things in front of your aunt?" As Wang Xifeng said this, she picked up the pillow on the kang and was about to throw it at her.

Jia Rong quickly let go and heard Sister Feng wail.

"Oh, you filthy worm, you must die a miserable death. I have protected you for so many years..." Wang Xifeng hit her foot and it was obviously very painful. She started to speak nonsense. "Why don't you hurry up and give me some medicine to rub on it?"

"Why is it swollen?" Jia Rong sat over and gently held the ankle.

"What do you think?" Wang Xifeng glared at him fiercely and held back her scolding. "Be gentle, you unlucky thing. I asked you about the usury and you turned hostile."

You want me to lend money at high interest rates, how can you not get angry?

If you lend me money at high interest, I will not recognize you anymore in the future.

Jia Rong muttered to himself, rubbing Wang Xifeng's ankle while asking, "Aunt, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Wang Xifeng frowned and said, "How can it be easy to feed hundreds of mouths in Guan Rongguo's mansion? I happened to hear a servant say that people outside were secretly lending money at high interest rates. It's not easy to tell the ancestors in the mansion about this, so I thought of calling you to ask about it."

It turned out to be the case.

Jia Rong asked suspiciously, "Which servant had such evil intentions to encourage our kind-hearted grandmother to do such a heinous thing? I will go and bury her."

"What are you burying? You've already buried the person, who can I use to go?" Wang Xifeng spat, suddenly pushed Jia Rong away, and said unhappily, "What the hell are you doing? Go stare at my glass screen."

"..."

I have been having a proper massage.

How can you massage the area that was hit without putting your hand inside the socks? How can it be effective?

How come there are no rules?

It's not like you're touching anywhere else.

baffling!

Jia Rong pursed his lips, and his eyes gradually became sharp. If Wang Xifeng really wanted to lend money at high interest, he would ignore her, and he could use her as a handle to get things done later. Anyway, if the high interest was investigated, she would be the only one to be held accountable.

However, those servants who dare to instigate their masters to do evil must be severely punished. This kind of atmosphere cannot be allowed to continue, lest it becomes more lawless and eventually implicates him.

Jia Rong looked around Wang Xifeng's courtyard and found a maid. "Sister, I have a surprise for Second Aunt. Please tell Brother Lai Wang to come to the East Palace."

Lai Wang was not only a male servant brought by Wang Xifeng from the Wang family, but also Wang Xifeng's confidant. Wang Xifeng asked Lai Wang to handle many confidential matters.

Jia Rong also knew that in the original novel, it was Lai Wang and his wife who instigated Wang Xifeng to lend money at high interest rates.

This evil servant who damages the reputation of the Jia family must be buried.

Dig a hole, dig a hole, hurry up and find a corner in Huifang Garden to dig a hole.

Jia Rong suddenly became excited. He was nervous and excited to find someone under the pretext of eliminating harm for the Jia family. Soon, he asked a few servants to dig a small pit half a person's height in Huifang Garden of Ningguo Mansion, and then sent the servants to wait for the target to come.

Lai Wang came quite quickly, but he looked at the pit with a puzzled look.

Jia Rong looked at the funeral reward displayed above Lai Wang's head: [Level 1 Treasure Box]. He smiled and said, "Brother Lai Wang, don't be in a daze. The treasure is still in the pit. Brother, please help me dig it out."

Lai Wang has lived for thirty or forty years and has become Wang Xifeng's confidant, so he is definitely not a fool. He laughed dryly and said, "Master Xiao Rong, please stop teasing me. There is nothing in the pit."

Jia Rong picked up the hoe on the ground, ready to dig up the dirt and bury the person. "How can I see it if I don't go down?"

Lai Wang was shocked when he saw this. There were many servants in the Ning and Rong mansions who disappeared, jumped into wells, or fell into lakes every year. As the confidant of Second Mistress Lian, how could he not know the reputation of Master Xiao Rong? He was a big stick who could do anything.

Lai Wang saw Jia Rong's hoe tremble, and he was frightened and knelt on the ground, saying hurriedly: "I have never offended you, sir. Please have mercy on me."

Jia Rong frowned, "There's no other reason, I just want to bury you. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer too much."

"Ah?" It was the first time that Lai Wang heard such straightforward words, and he wanted to run away immediately. But after a little hesitation, he did not run away, but crawled into the pit obediently.

Jia Rong watched this scene with an amused expression on his face. He took a hoe and dug the soil into the pit, and Lai Wang did not even try to avoid it.

"Interesting! You don't believe I would really bury you?"

"Believe it." Lai Wang raised his helpless eyes and sighed, "Everyone knows that Master Xiaorong always keeps his word. Since Master has made a decision, how can I escape it?"
