The filial son of the Red Mansion

There was a kind of pleasure in breaking the rules, which made his heart beat faster and even his breathing quickened. His hand slowly moved down to Wang Xifeng's waist. Fengjie's waist was soft and slender, but it was always uncomfortable under the thick clothes. He moved quietly and put his hand into the cloak.

Wang Xifeng frowned, feeling that their bodies were already pressed tightly together. Just as she was thinking about stopping Jia Rong from getting too aggressive, Ping'er outside suddenly said, "Grandma, the second master is in the car in front."

Second Master? Second Master Lian, Jia Lian?

Wang Xifeng's heartstrings suddenly tightened, and an even stranger feeling came from her heart. She, who had never been shy, finally felt ashamed.

Didn't this bastard hear that?

Why don't you stop after hearing this? Jia Lian is outside.

Wang Xifeng didn't know whether to continue pretending to sleep or wake up immediately. But Jia Rong's movements became more and more outrageous.

She felt that in addition to her waist being held, there was also a strange hand quietly crawling up her body.

Damn it!

Ping'er didn't know whether the people inside heard what she said, but she didn't hear any sound at all.

"Grandma is asleep?"

Ping'er murmured softly, watching the two planes getting closer and closer, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Jia Rong in the carriage had evil intentions, and he leaned sideways and carefully probed with his big hand. Wang Xifeng felt a chill, and hurriedly pretended to be disturbed in her sleep, hummed softly, and reached out to hold Jia Rong's hand. She said in a daze, "Ping'er, don't do anything weird!"

The hand really stopped.

When she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a dark shadow moving in front of her eyes and felt the warmth of the shadow's breath.

What does this bastard want to do?

Wang Xifeng clenched her teeth tightly, but her lips were already occupied by warmth. The hairs on her body stood up, and it seemed that thousands of flavors spread from her lips to her whole body.

What an unlucky thing, what a damn maggot, what a disgusting seed, knowing that Jia Lian is right in front of him, yet still dares to be so presumptuous.

Wang Xifeng clenched her fists. The tingling sensation in her mouth, which she had never experienced before, made her feel at a loss. She was once the person with the most ideas and means, but now she was just standing there in a daze.

Suddenly, Fengjie felt something soft passing across her lips and tapping her teeth.

“Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!”

She finally turned her head away, hiding away with a red face and a heart full of shame.

Jia Rong was stunned. Looking at Wang Xifeng, who was hiding her ears and trying to steal the bell in the dark, he felt that Sister Feng was even more adorable. He said softly, "Auntie, are you awake?"

Wang Xifeng did not reply to him immediately. Instead, she uttered "What?" in a dreamy voice and pressed her hand down inside her jacket.

Jia Rong understood, knowing that this was Wang Xifeng's bottom line, and Jia Lian's carriage was just ahead. Although he also knew that Fengjie and Jia Lian had fallen out recently, the title of husband and wife would always be there.

He didn't want Wang Xifeng to get angry and make a scene with him at this time, so he slowly withdrew his hand.

"We are almost at Rong Mansion. It's lucky that my aunt woke up in time." Jia Rong laughed softly.

The only response Wang Xifeng gave him was a roll of her eyes in the dark.

As soon as Jia Lian got off the carriage, he saw Ping'er standing next to the carriage behind him, and immediately thought to himself that there was a female demon in the carriage behind him. Without hesitation, Jia Lian turned around and ran into Rong Mansion, heading straight to the outer study, planning to tell Jiao'er in the outer study about the thrilling incident.

At this time, Jia Rong saw that the carriage had stopped, so he got off the carriage very "filially" and prepared to welcome Wang Xifeng.

Ping'er suddenly opened her eyes wide, and hurriedly pulled Jia Rong to the back of the carriage. She cursed in her heart, "Both masters are troublesome, one is fooling around outside, and the other is putting rouge on people in the carriage." As she said this, she pulled out a towel from her body and wiped the bright red rouge marks on Jia Rong's mouth.

Jia Rong understood what was going on from her actions. His eyes fell on Ping'er's resentful and angry face, and his heart was pounding.

This is his favorite Ping'er.

Now that there has been progress with Wang Xifeng, Ping'er will also be able to achieve success in the future.

"Thank you, sister."

Looking at Ping'er's clever and virtuous appearance, the more I look at her, the more I like her. Quietly, I grabbed Ping'er's hand.

Chapter 32: Treasure Chests, Lots of Treasure Chests

Ping'er was one or two years older than Wang Xifeng, and she was also Wang Xifeng's maid, so how could she not know the world of love? When Jia Rong suddenly grabbed her hand, and looked at his expression, her face naturally could not remain calm.

She understands Wang Xifeng too well.

She knew that her fate would be nothing more than two: either she would be taken in by Master Lian as his roommate, or she would be alone and grow old with the title of Master Lian's roommate.

Now, not only have the Second Mistress and Second Master Lian fallen out, but she has also had an affair with Young Master Xiaorong of the East Mansion. As a confidant maid, Ping'er has two more possibilities: either she will be sent to the East Mansion, or, if something happens between the Second Mistress and Young Master Xiaorong in the future, she will be beaten to death or driven out by the ladies of the West Mansion.

Ping'er tried to pull her hand away gently, but Jia Rong was much more difficult to deal with than Jia Lian. Not only did she fail to pull her hand away, she was also attacked on the face.

She was already a little resentful, and she had never been treated like this before, so her pretty face immediately turned red. She was angry and anxious, and hurriedly glanced at Second Madam Lian over there. After seeing that she was not discovered, she complained in a low voice: "If Grandma finds out, you and I will both die miserably."

Jia Rong chuckled and said, "Who told me that I have always liked Sister Ping'er in my heart? I just couldn't help it."

Ping Er was used to being bullied by Wang Xifeng, and her anger came and went quickly. She imitated Wang Xifeng's behavior, glared back, stuffed the handkerchief in her hand into Jia Rong's arms, said "Wipe it yourself", and ran away with a red face.

That night, Wang Xifeng had a strange dream, and so did Ping'er.

After a night, he went to Ningguo Mansion to report for duty in the morning, but saw two bowls of hot white fungus and lotus seed soup and a plate of familiar snacks on the table in the porch.

The maid who was doing the cooking inside said, "It was the master's order. He said that Sister Ping'er had been hard working with the Second Madam these days, so he ordered an extra portion to be cooked."

Ping Erh thought something was wrong and said to Feng Jie: "Mr. Xiao Rong is so considerate that he is even worried that I can't take good care of grandma."

Wang Xifeng nodded and no longer had any doubts.

But Jia Rong got up early in the morning, and he and Qin Keqing dressed neatly in mourning, and went to the coffin to burn paper and prepare to cry for the relatives who came to pay their respects.

After two days of silence, Ningguo Mansion finally became noisy again.

The maids and servants hurried back and forth inside, not daring to slack off or play tricks. The servants and slaves were setting up formal ceremonial guards outside, with the white silk banners fluttering in the cold wind.

Jia Lian arrived a little late today, his legs still a little weak, and he went straight to the main entrance of Huifang Garden. He saw two drum and music halls on both sides, two groups of blue-clad people playing music on time, and pairs of deacons chopping with swords and axes. There were also two large vermilion and gold plaques erected outside the gate, and opposite to them there was a high altar, with monks and Taoists facing each other.

Inscribed on the list were the following: "The funeral of General Jia Menzhen, the hereditary son of Duke Ningguo and a third-rank nobleman, is in the central part of the four continents, and the country of eternal peace is being built in obedience to Heaven. The chief monk Wan, the chief monk of the Monks' Records Office, and the chief monk Ye, the chief monk of the Yuanshi Zhengyi Sect, are respectfully observing the fast and bowing to the Buddha", as well as "We respectfully invite the gods of the temples, Jie Di, and other meritorious gods, to bestow their divine grace upon all and their divine power far and wide. For forty-nine days, a peaceful water and land ceremony will be held to eliminate disasters and cleanse karma".

Jia Lian rushed to the Dengxian Pavilion and almost fell down, and was seen by Jia Rong.

Jia Rong asked, "Why is Uncle Lian so anxious? Are there any relatives here?"

Jia Lian couldn't say that it was because he had exhausted all his energy in the study room last night. He nodded and said, "The old ancestor and the ladies are on their way. Rong'er, follow me."

After that, the two of them went forward to greet Jia's mother and other ladies. Not long after, there was another shout. It turned out that the wife of Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding came with her niece Shi Xiangyun.

Jia Lian, wearing a mourning belt, secretly introduced Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, to Jia Rong. It turned out that Shi Ding was the third son of the Shi family, the nephew of Jia's grandmother, and the third uncle of Shi Xiangyun.

Jia Rong saw that Mrs. Shi Ding was dressed in white, and she was accompanied by a petite and cute girl, who was about the same age as Daiyu, but was more robust than Daiyu. He only looked above their heads, one was a [Level 5 Treasure Box], and the other was a [Level 2 Treasure Box].

He just went to greet the two of them and cried, one for great-aunt, the other for aunt Shi. He then welcomed Mrs. Shi Ding and Shi Xiangyun in, and heard that the families of Marquis Jinxiang, Marquis Chuanning, and Earl Shoushan came to pay their respects.

Jia Rong was dazzled by the sight. Looking around, he saw several level four and five treasure chests.

Soon, Wang Ziteng's wife came with two sisters from the Wang family. Jia Lian first called his aunt, and then introduced them to Jia Rong as the great-aunt and aunts from the Wang family.

It turns out that Wang Ziteng is Wang Xifeng's uncle, and Wang Ziteng's wife is Wang Xifeng's aunt in the Wang family. Another [Level 5 Treasure Box] and two [Level 2 Treasure Boxes].

Jia Lian simply invited the person in.

A moment later, the Zhenguo Mansion, Liguo Mansion, Qiguo Mansion, Zhiguo Mansion, Xiuguo Mansion, and Shanguo Mansion arrived together. Jia Rong followed the introductions, calling them uncle and aunt non-stop. His eyes never stopped, only looking at the large number of [Level 5 Treasure Boxes] and [Level 4 Treasure Boxes] with envy.

The most important thing is that he knew very well that some of these dukes' mansions still had living ladies of extraordinary rank like Lady Jia.

Treasure chests, so many treasure chests!

These are all potential rewards!

We must build good relationships and send them over one by one when the time comes? !

When Jia Rong thought of this, he called "uncle" and "aunt" in a friendly and sad way, as if he wanted to recognize his uncle on the spot.

But everyone saw this movement, and they felt that Rong Ge'er was sad because of his father's death, and they were even more emotional. After everyone comforted him, they went to the Dengxian Pavilion in Huifang Garden to pay their respects with mixed feelings.

When these people entered, suddenly there was a loud gong outside, as if an important person was coming. Jia She, Jia Zheng and others who were sitting inside with their relatives at the banquet hurried over.

I only heard the outer gate singing: "The hereditary prince of Beijing has come down to offer sacrifices."

The Ning Mansion hurriedly opened the middle gate, and Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian led Jia Rong and other Jia family members out of the middle gate to greet them.

It turned out that the Prince of Beijing had heard of the death two days earlier, but since there was an imperial decree from the palace, he had no choice but to accept the obituary today. He finished his official duties, changed into plain clothes, sat in a sedan chair, and came with a gong and an umbrella. When he arrived at the gate of Ning Mansion, he saw a sea of ​​white people kneeling in front of him.

Prince Beijing hurriedly got off the sedan chair and helped everyone to stand up.

Jia Rong looked towards Prince Beijing at this time. The first thing that caught his eye was the large characters [Level 8 Treasure Chest]. Then he saw that Prince Beijing was less than 20 years old, with an unusually handsome appearance and a humble and gentle demeanor.

What reward can I get if I send Prince Beijing away?

When he thought of this, he wished he could hug Prince Beijing's thigh and recognize him as his relative on the spot.

Shui Rong, the Prince of Beijing, did not act like a prince, but treated them as old friends. He said a few words of comfort in a gentle voice, and then asked them to go to Dengxian Pavilion to offer sacrifices. The servants of the palace escorted them in and carried the sacrificial offerings to the spirit platform. They lit the incense, did not stay, and left in a hurry.

Jia Rong felt very sorry.

After Shui Rong left, Feng Ziying, son of the Shenwu general, and other princes and sons of the kings such as Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan came to pay their respects. Unfortunately, most of these people had level 3 treasure chests, which really did not interest him.

After this day, the Ning Mansion was quiet for a few days.

It was another day, not a formal day, and there were not many guests in the house. Only the family members were talking in the house.

Wang Xifeng sat alone in the porch, not socializing with her sisters-in-law; even when female relatives came and went, she did not greet or see them off.

Jia Rong was just thinking of going to the porch to see Wang Xifeng, when he saw two people talking intimately in the pavilion facing the water in Huifang Garden. One was a passionate boy with a face like the moon in the middle of autumn and a trembling smile, and the other was a girl with a fair face and red lips, shy and timid.

What are Baoyu and Qin Zhong doing there?

Why do they look so wrong?

Chapter 33: Auntie, eat quickly

Qin Zhong is Qin Keqing's younger brother, with a weak and shy personality. The only thing he has in common with Baoyu is that they both dislike studying.

Jia Rong had never expected that Jia Zhen's funeral would allow Baoyu and Qin Zhong to meet earlier. He had never expected that Baoyu and Qin Zhong would still fall in love with each other at first sight, and they had been so close these days that they were inseparable.

If Mrs. Wang had not disagreed, Jia Baoyu would have moved to Ningguo Mansion.

Baoyu had his own way, which was to play with Qin Zhong until night every day before returning to Rongfu, which prevented Jia Rong from riding in the same carriage with Wang Xifeng for several days.

"The little fat guy is definitely taking revenge on me for cheating him in front of Lin Daiyu last time."

Jia Rong couldn't help being surprised when he thought of Lin Daiyu.

Why did the fat boy Baoyu stay with Lin Daiyu and go to the East Mansion to play with Qin Zhong? Could it be that in the eyes of the fat boy, Qin Zhong is more important than Lin Daiyu?
