"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber

Chapter 24

This year's New Year's Eve was not a good day for Shi Taijun. His beloved son beat his beloved grandson, and both of his darlings were lying on the bed and couldn't get out of bed. For a moment, Shi Taijun felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Old ancestor, there is a granddaughter-in-law guarding here, you should go and rest for a while." Wang Xifeng stepped forward, obediently, without the usual ostentatious appearance.

Shi Taijun wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Jia Baoyu lying on the bed who was drowsy and groaning, and felt pain in his heart: "Is Zheng'er feeling better?"

"It's better, it's said that he took the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor and fell asleep." Wang Xifeng replied.

"Can you say what kind of disease it is?"

"This..." Wang Xifeng paused for a moment, and then said, "It's because of anger and blood stagnation."

In short, he was pissed off and ruthless.

Wang Xifeng was also puzzled, Baoyu didn't like reading for a day or two, how could the second master be so angry.

On the contrary, Shi Taijun listened to Wang Xifeng's words and realized that his heart was even more desolate. His youngest son was really oppressed by the elder son too hard.No, I have to move faster.

"What's going on with the boss?" Shi Taijun put down his veil, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly replied: "The old ancestor was kind enough to spare the old man's greeting, and the old man has already gone back to the yard."

"I just asked you how he went back?"

Wang Xifeng was speechless again. Seeing the fierce expression on the face of the always kind-hearted old lady, she said what she had suppressed: "I have a careful dinner in the yard, and have a feast with all the juniors? Listen He said, I heard that there were a few fireworks set off."

Shi Taijun snorted coldly: "He is in a good mood. Why doesn't he know what filial piety and brotherhood are at this moment?" After finishing speaking, Shi Taijun glanced at Wang Xifeng and said with a smile: "It's so boring in my old lady's yard now. If you feel bored, you can also go to the boss's place, it's very lively, after all, it's Chinese New Year's Eve, so it's not easy for me, old woman, to hold you back."

Wang Xifeng quickly expressed his loyalty: "Old Ancestor, what are you talking about? You are the god of the Rongguo Mansion. Who else can we juniors rely on if we don't rely on you? Granddaughter-in-law will definitely be here to accompany you."

Only then did Shi Taijun smile with satisfaction: "Young girl Feng is still good."

Wang Xifeng felt happy, and felt that it was always right to hug the old lady's thigh, and it was much better than following the old man's father-in-law who turned his elbow outward.

On one side, Wang Xifeng was busy proving his loyalty in front of Shi Taijun, on the other side, Jia Lian was lying on the bed with his arms around Ping'er's body, his face full of depression.

"Tell me, what is the second master going to do for the Chinese New Year? A good Chinese New Year makes the family go crazy, and none of the women and servants are happy. What's the matter?"

Just now, the two of them had been warming up for a while, and now Ping'er was lying on Jia Lian's chest, thinking that Jia Lian could come to see him tonight, but it was only because Wang Xifeng was busy seeking performance in front of his ancestors.Ever since I became Jia Lian's aunt, these days have not been as good as when I was a maid. Wang Xifeng didn't miss the old love, and found fault with herself everywhere. With the help of the madam, my own life became even more difficult, and when I thought about how the old man asked me to be around Jia Lian more, my opinion of the old man was even higher in my heart.

From Ping'er's point of view, it would be better not to have Jia Lian's son, who wholeheartedly helps outsiders and doesn't kiss his own father. If it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of the elder, Jia Lian, an unfilial son, would not have been given so many opportunities.

Ping'er took the opportunity to say, "Master, if you think the courtyard is too depressing tonight, why not go to the Grand Master's courtyard, the old ancestor said tonight that juniors can go to the Grand Master's courtyard to celebrate the New Year."

Jia Lian's heart was a little moved, but he still felt estranged from Jia Amnesty, so he hesitated for a while.

Ping'er took a look, and continued to work hard: "After all, the elder is the father of the master, how can he not be towards the master? Thinking about the Chinese New Year today, there are already a lot of juniors in that yard, and there is no difference between the master and the master. The old master cultivates and cultivates feelings, isn't it."

When Jia Lian heard this, he felt that this was the case. Isn't he still trying to curry favor with Jia She, asking Jia She to help him get his mother's dowry back?

Thinking about it this way, Jia Lian gave Ping'er a kiss and got up, "You are still smart, go, since your second grandma is busy doing filial piety in front of the old ancestors, you can follow the master to the old man to do your filial piety. "

Ping'er got up quickly and dressed Jia Lian, and the two took a few villains and went to Jia Amnesty's yard.

The atmosphere in Jia She's courtyard was indeed the New Year's Eve atmosphere. When Jia Lian and Heping'er arrived, Jia She had just returned, and the banquet was just opened. Jia She was not unhappy when he saw the visitors, so he quickly asked Mrs. Xing to arrange the people around him. As a result, Jia Lian had been in prison, and because Ping'er was familiar with Tanchun and the others, Mrs. Xing also arranged for Tanchun's table.

Talking and laughing, but there is a Chinese New Year atmosphere.

Jia She was drinking, looked at his grown-up son with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder: "Lian'er, you have to work harder, don't just look at the one-acre-three-point land in this mansion all the time, go out more. If you go around, you will have different opinions, don’t you have a lack of understanding? Do it too, it’s much better than being the chief executive.”

When Jia Lian heard this, he was unhappy. In his opinion, taking care of the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion was a symbol of his status as the heir of the Rongguo Mansion. To do what the Tongzhi was doing was a vain job donated, and it was meaningless to do it. .

But thinking that his father was happy to come here today, he suppressed his dissatisfaction, nodded, and hurriedly changed the topic elsewhere, making everyone present laugh.

Jia Amnesty smiled, seeing Jia Lian's witty remarks there, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

After the banquet was over, Jia She went back to the house, Madam Xing stepped forward to help Jia She change, Jia She shook her head and said: "Lian'er seems hopeless, from now on, let's focus on Cong'er and Yingchun. "

Mrs. Xing heard this, and the corner of her mouth curled up. She and Jia Lian were only interested in face, how could she have any close relationship with Cong'er and Yingchun, who are already her own children, she quickly nodded in agreement, and told a lot of interesting things about Cong'er and Yingchun , to make Jia She happy.

That night, Rongqingtang and Rongxitang looked gloomy. Jia Lian, Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun also returned to their respective rooms after attending the dinner in the big room, but Lin Daiyu stayed and lived with Yingchun. We talked for a long time again.

On the second day, even though some people had a bad day the previous night, Jia Amnesty woke up early on this day and took Mrs. Xing, Lin Daiyu, Jia Cong, and Jia Yingchun to greet Shi Taijun.

Shi Taijun looked rather haggard, presumably he hadn't slept well all night, when he saw Jia Amnesty coming in, there was a trace of hatred in his eyes.Then, he accepted the gift from Jia Amnesty and others with a smile.

"Xie'er, it was hard for you last night, let your family look after the junior, hey," Shi Taijun sighed: "It's because your second brother didn't live up to expectations that this kind of thing happened, don't take it too seriously .”

Jia She quickly shook his head: "No matter what mother said, I can't blame my second brother for this matter. It's all the fault of being a junior."

Shi Taijun's face twisted a bit, what does this mean? Could it be her Baoyu's fault?

Shi Taijun took a deep breath, winked at Yuanyang, Yuanyang nodded quickly, and after a while, two beautiful girls came in.

These two girls are graceful and beautiful, and they are stunners at first sight. If Jia She in the past, she would have rushed to her, but in the present Jia She, she just looked at Shi Taijun with a puzzled expression: "Mother, This is……"

"This is a reward for you. Seeing that you have done things properly during this time, a mother should also be rewarded, so you can keep it." Shi Taijun said with a smile.

Jia She raised his eyebrows, his expression was a bit perplexed, Jia Zheng looked at it, and quickly said, "Brother, the elders can't refuse."

"That's right," Jia She nodded and thanked Shi Taijun: "Mother, then what you give to your son is your son's, right?"

"Of course." Shi Taijun replied with a smile.

Mrs. Xing tightened the veil in her hands. The master treated her better just now, so why did someone come to disturb the situation? Isn't it obvious that she doesn't want her to feel better?

Seeing Mrs. Xing's appearance, Mrs. Wang curled her mouth, feeling proud. No matter how much the Elder Master pretends to be, he is still a womanizer.

Jia Amnesty stepped forward and looked around at the two girls, then looked at Jia Zheng with a smile: "Second Brother, I heard that you were not feeling well yesterday?"

Whose fault was that? Jia Zheng rolled his eyes inwardly, and said respectfully, "It's my younger brother's body that doesn't live up to expectations."

"Since the second brother is not in good health, there should be a caring person to take good care of him. The eldest brother has two dexterous people here, so I will give them to the second brother." Jia She raised his hand and pointed to the two girls standing in the room. , It is self-evident who said it.

"Brother, it was given to you by your ancestors." Jia Zheng was stunned.

Jia She smiled and said, "Whatever is given to me is mine, and I can deal with it as I like." After finishing speaking, Jia She raised an eyebrow: "Second brother, the elders can't refuse the gift."

Jia Zheng choked up and couldn't speak.

Shi Taijun squinted his eyes, looked at it, and said with a smile: "If Xi'er doesn't like this, then the mother will reward you with something else." After finishing speaking, Shi Taijun clapped his hands, and two women raised a screen Come in.

The screen is two meters high, surrounded by many screens, each of which is a season, embroidered with gold and silver embroidery thread, looks lifelike, spring has the vitality of spring, summer has the fun of summer, plus this screen The screen feet are all carved from high-quality red sandalwood, and there is a faint fragrance from the smell.

This screen is a good thing at first glance.

Jia Amnesty narrowed his eyes and thanked Shi Taijun with a smile: "Son, thank mother for the reward."

"Okay, as long as you like it." Shi Taijun nodded and smiled.

When Wang Xifeng saw the red sandalwood four seasons screen, greed flashed in his eyes, and when he looked at his second master, his eyes were also full of covetousness, and he was thinking about it.

Jia Amnesty saw the expressions of everyone in the room one by one, and smiled even brighter.

After returning home, Jia Amnesty put the screen in Xing Shi's room, saying that it was a reward for Xing Shi, and Xing Shi was so happy that he almost didn't jump up.Then he turned around and sent those two beautiful girls to Jia Zheng. Since Jia Zheng hadn't explicitly refused before, don't refuse anymore.

After finishing all this, Jia Amnesty went to the library again.

The library was closed yesterday because of New Year's Eve, and it is open today as usual. After all, some poor scholars have no money to celebrate the New Year. It is not as important as reading and learning in the library, and there are heaters in the four corners of the library. , Fortunately, this winter is hot and warm. ,

Jia Amnesty was sitting in a private room on the second floor, listening to Zhao Tianshu's report on the status of the library in the past few days, when he heard noises coming from downstairs.

Jia Amnesty frowned, and looked at Zhao Tianshu who was beside him.

Zhao Tianshu waved his hands quickly: "Master, it's really not me this time."

Jia Amnesty nodded, stood up and walked downstairs. Before reaching the first floor, he saw a figure standing in the middle of the first floor, dressed in rich and noble clothes, with an arrogant expression on his face.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the dignified Prince Daqing came to his library, what are you looking for!
