I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Lin Zhixiao, the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, hurried to Jia She's courtyard to report that the old lady summoned the master of the mansion to Rongxi Hall.

Jia She was holding Jia Cheng and feeding him candied haws when he was suddenly interrupted by Lin Zhixiao. He was not happy, "Did the old lady tell me what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Lin Zhixiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed to himself that he was unlucky to have taken on such a tough job.

He replied respectfully: "In reply to the eldest master, the old lady received a letter from Yangzhou and is crying hard in Rong Xi Tang. The second wife asked us to notify the masters of each room to persuade the old lady."

Jia She snorted coldly when he heard this, "Humph, so it was the Second Madam who ordered it. I thought it was the Old Madam who gave the order. I didn't know that the Rongguo Mansion was actually named Wang.

The Second Wife is such a big shot, everyone has to listen to her, and you slaves just obey her every word."

Jia She's words were a bit harsh, and Lin Zhixiao didn't dare to respond.

Although it was the eldest master Jia She who inherited the title, everyone knew that the second master Jia Zheng was the one who actually managed the affairs of the mansion.

But knowing it is one thing, and they, the servants, did not dare to neglect the master. After all, when Jia She went crazy, he would be extremely unruly, and they, the servants, did not dare to confront their master head-on.

After Jia She complained, he called to Mrs. Xing, "Come on, let's go and see what happened to the old lady. If we don't go, outsiders will use us as a handle to accuse us of being unfilial."

Jia She said this with a cold face, then looked at Jia Cheng in his arms with a smile, "Shuanbao, play by yourself in the room for a while, your parents will be back soon, you just be good."

Jia She's tone was unusually gentle. Lin Zhixiao looked at Jia She in surprise. Was this still the old master he knew? How could he be so gentle one day?

Jia Cheng was very well behaved. After listening to Jia She's words, he did not cry or make a fuss about going with them. Although he was very curious about the people in the Jia Mansion, he did not rashly ask to follow.

Jia Cheng is very careful about his life. Who knows if Mrs. Wang has evil intentions? He has read many fan fictions of "Dream of the Red Chamber", all of which say that Mrs. Wang is cruel and ruthless.

Not only did he kill Jia She's eldest son and original wife, but he also made Jia Lian useless, all in order to allow Jia Baoyu to inherit the title.

Jia Cheng was not willing to take the risk. Anyway, he thought Mrs. Wang in the novel "Dream of Red Mansions" was quite scary and usually portrayed her as a villain.

He is still very weak now, and the golden finger cannot protect himself. At most, it can increase his favorability. He should not be curious about Mrs. Wang.

Wait until he has enough luck to open a mall, buy a few amulets, and then go out to meet the people in the Jia family.

Jia Cheng had a good idea, but Lin Zhixiao failed to make it happen.

Lin Zhixiao lowered his head, wishing he could bury it in his crotch, and said to Jia She respectfully: "Master, the old lady has been crying, and the second wife said that all the masters in the family should go over to persuade the old lady."

After Lin Zhixiao finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Cheng. His meaning was very obvious, that is, none of the masters of the main house could be left behind and they must go.

Over the years, Rongguo Mansion has always been managed by Lady Wang, who has strong control over the household.

Although Jia She cleared some obstacles and asked the servants in the house not to spread Jia Cheng's affairs everywhere, the Rongguo Mansion was a sieve and those servants could not control their mouths at all.

So Mrs. Wang had already known that Jia Cheng could speak, which made her full of curiosity about Jia Cheng.

But Jia Cheng never left the yard, so she didn't want to test him rashly. So she took advantage of the fact that Lady Jia was sad and crying to lure Jia Cheng out.

Mrs. Wang used to pay more attention to Jia Cheng. After all, this child was the eldest wife's legitimate son, and was born on the same day of the same month as Baoyu.

If it had not been confirmed later that Jia Cheng was a mute little fool, Mrs. Wang might have tried to suppress Jia Cheng.

Now that Jia Cheng is better, Mrs. Wang feels a sense of crisis, fearing that Jia Cheng will overshadow her Baoyu. After all, in terms of status, Jia Baoyu is only the son of a fifth-rank official, while Jia Cheng is the son of a first-rank general.

When they go out to socialize in the future, those who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak might look down on their own Baoyu. Mrs. Wang does not want to see such a scene, so she wants to make arrangements in advance.

She would never allow anyone to put pressure on her Baoyu.

Jia She and Mrs. Xing saw through Mrs. Wang's little thoughts at a glance. Mrs. Xing looked at her husband reluctantly, wanting him to come forward and reject Lin Zhixiao's request.

Jia She pondered for a moment, looked down at his well-behaved son in his arms, and finally decided to take Jia Cheng out.

He couldn't keep the child locked up in the room forever, and sooner or later the people in the Jia family would know that Jia Cheng had recovered. Didn't Mrs. Wang just want to see what her son looked like? Then let her see it openly.

Otherwise, there will be countless conspiracies and intrigues directed at their courtyard. Although Jia She is not afraid of the methods of the women in the inner house, he also has to consider Jia Cheng.

If Mrs. Wang couldn't see Jia Cheng, she might spread rumors outside to ruin Jia Cheng's reputation.

Many thoughts flashed through Jia She’s mind. He narrowed his eyes, and his look was somewhat dangerous.

He, the eldest master of the Rongguo Mansion, has been silent for too long, and his sister-in-law Wang Fu-ren no longer takes him seriously.

Jia She carried Jia Cheng out of the door. Mrs. Xing followed him in confusion and asked in a low voice: "Master, didn't you say you wanted to keep Shuanbao secret? Why did you bring him to Rong Xi Tang?"

Jia She sighed softly, "I was mistaken before. The news of Shuanbao's recovery may have already reached my good brother and sister's ears. Since everyone is curious about Shuanbao, let them see it openly.

You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. I will give Shuanbao a few more capable servants and maids. Our Shuanbao is very lucky and will definitely not be harmed by those villains."

Jia She gritted his teeth. He had been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so many years and had fallen into depravity, but he was not really stupid. It was time to let the Rongguo Mansion see what he, Marquis Jia En, was capable of.

If he can't protect this Qilin child, then he deserves to never be able to turn things around in his life.

Jia She held Jia Cheng in his arms and sat in the sedan chair. Along the way, he kept telling Jia Cheng not to be afraid and to treat him like a crystal doll.

Naturally, Jia She was saying sweet words to Jia She in his heart, and his heart was full of yearning for the outside world, and he did not show any fear of the outside world.

The system was a little puzzled, "Weren't you originally planning to stay hidden until the plot started before going out? Why are you now hinting that Jia She should bring you out more often?"

Jia Cheng calmed down, lowered his favorability towards Jia She and Madam Xing, and then replied to the system in his mind, [Plans cannot keep up with changes. Once I show up, everyone will know that I am not stupid.

Those conspiracies and intrigues cannot be prevented at all, so it would be better for Jia She to release me more often so that I can have more contact with people with great luck.

I should be able to meet the old lady of the Jia family and Jia Baoyu today. They must have a lot of good fortune.

The old lady of the Jia Mansion is at least a superior lady of the Duke's family. If luck is divided according to status, then her luck is definitely the highest in the Rongguo Mansion.]

The system thinks it makes sense. No matter what the fate of Jia Baoyu and Jia's mother will be in the future, at least they are living a good life now and can be considered to have good luck.

With this in mind, the system no longer let Jia Cheng hide behind, but encouraged him to get closer to those lucky people, so that he could open the mall sooner.

If it weren't for the fact that Jia She's luck was mixed with black air, and he had to go through great pains to purify it every time he absorbed a part of it, the system wouldn't be able to recover so slowly.

The sedan chair soon arrived at the door of Rong Xi Tang. Jia She came out holding Jia Cheng and strode into the house.

All the maids in Rong Xi Tang looked at Jia Cheng with curiosity, guessing that he was the eldest master's stupid son.

The rules in Rongguo Mansion are relatively loose, and those servants look at their masters in a careless manner.

Jia Cheng was also very curious about these people. After all, it was the first time he stepped out of his own yard and walked out of that small world.

He looked at the maids and servants whose names and favorability ratings appeared above their heads. Most of them were strangers to him and their favorability ratings were relatively low.

Only a few maids who look small, less than six or seven years old, may be more obsessed with looks. Seeing that Jia Cheng is good-looking, their favorability towards him directly reaches 40.

Jia Cheng silently sighed in his heart, [There are so many people, I am so happy.]

Jia She and Madam Xing heard Jia Cheng's thoughts at the same time and couldn't help laughing.

In their opinion, Jia Cheng just had the mentality of a child. It was his first time to see so many people, so he was very happy. It seemed that they would have to take him out for walks more often in the future.

Feicui, the head maid in Jia Mu's room, was waiting for Jia She and his family at the door. When she saw the child in Jia She's arms, she was not surprised at all.

She bowed respectfully to Jia She and the other two, then opened the curtain to let them in.

After entering, Jia She heard chattering in the room, a group of women were comforting Jia's mother.

From the fragmentary words of these people, it was known that Jia She and Jia Min were sick, and Jia Min was also pregnant. However, the pregnancy signs were not good, and Jia Min's life was in danger at any time. Grandmother Jia felt very sorry for her daughter, but there was nothing she could do.

Jia She was a little annoyed by the noise made by the group of women in the room, but he was a filial person in public. Even if he was upset, he still had to respectfully step forward to comfort Lady Jia and introduce his precious son to his mother.

After all, his mother only had Jia Baoyu in her heart, but never her own Shuanbao.

"Mother, what's wrong? Why is she crying like this? How can you take care of her? Can't you comfort her?"

Jia She sternly reprimanded the maidservant beside Jia Mu.

The room was quiet for a moment. Grandmother Jia wiped her tears, feeling very displeased with her eldest son who had no tact.

Jia She didn't care about other people's expressions. He put Jia Cheng on the ground with a smile and asked him to greet Lady Jia.

Jia Cheng obediently knelt down and kowtowed to Grandmother Jia, "Grandson Jia Cheng greets Grandmother, I hope you will live a long and healthy life."

Everyone in the room focused their attention on the unfamiliar Jia Cheng, and Jia Baoyu was even more eager. This younger brother was handsome, like a fairy boy, and he had never seen one before.

Grandmother Jia didn't pay much attention to this silly grandson. She knew before that Jia Cheng couldn't speak and his reactions were slow, but now he seemed quite smart and not stupid.

Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Cheng carefully. He looked well-behaved and delicate, with a pair of big, twinkling eyes that could melt people's hearts.

But Jia Cheng has an outstanding temperament and has an ethereal air at a young age, which makes people happy.

At this time, Jia Mu, who is obsessed with looks, also developed some feelings towards Jia Cheng, and her favorability level rose from zero at the beginning to 40.

It turned out that Grandmother Jia ignored Jia Cheng because she didn't want to have a stupid grandson. Now Jia Cheng is quite smart, good-looking, and has a good temperament, so Grandmother Jia has begun to like this grandson a little.

She quickly called Jia Cheng forward and held him in her arms, "Brother Cheng has grown so big, come here and let grandma see you."

Jia Cheng leaned obediently in Grandmother Jia's arms, with a little apology on his face, "Brother Cheng was sick before, and couldn't visit the old lady often, which made the old lady worried. From now on, Brother Cheng will accompany the old lady every day to make up for it."

When Jia Cheng said this, Jia's mother burst into laughter. "Originally, I only had Baoyu by my side, and I felt a little lonely. When Cheng'er comes, I will be blessed."

Although Grandmother Jia disliked Jia She and even marginalized him, she had to ignore her eldest son for the sake of Rongguo Mansion.

But as for the next generation of grandchildren, she likes them all as long as they are smart, good-looking and clever, and of course she likes the legitimate ones more.

After all, only if her descendants are successful can she, the wife of a super-ranking duke, sit more securely on the throne. She hopes that all her grandchildren will be successful.

Grandmother Jia is a powerful woman who likes anyone who has a promising future. She values ​​Jia Baoyu because he was born with a jade in his mouth and a fortune teller said he has great luck.

Grandmother Jia's preferences change with her interests. There is no such thing as so many favoritisms. It's all calculations.

However, Jia Cheng was not disgusted by the two faces of Lady Jia. She used to ignore him, but now she was so affectionate to him. It didn't matter, as they were just using each other anyway.

Jia Cheng hugged Grandmother Jia and tried his best to absorb her luck. "Old lady, I will play with you and make you happy every day."

This made Lady Jia laugh, and everyone started laughing too. Then Jia She introduced the people in the room to Jia Cheng and greeted them one by one.

Jia Cheng could only barely match the numbers based on their age, and for the first time he met his half brother Jia Lian and sister-in-law Wang Xifeng.

Both of them have good looks. Jia Lian is romantic and passionate, while Wang Xifeng is charming and refreshing, like a rose with thorns.

He also met his sister Jia Yingchun, who looked gentle and timid, amiable and had no temper.

As for the elders in the family, Jia Zheng indeed looked very serious, like a pedant and had a scholarly air.

Mrs. Wang has a kind face and looks wealthy. She must have been a beauty when she was young.

As for other people, Jia Cheng didn't pay much attention to them, but since this was the first time he met them, he accepted a lot of gifts and was very happy.

Jia Baoyu stared at Jia Cheng's smiling face and rosy lips and grinned foolishly. This younger brother is so handsome, his lips look like they are painted with rouge.

The system is already feeling ecstatic. [So much luck! This old lady is truly blessed. Born into a family of historians, she never suffered when she was young.

She married an ambitious and promising man and immediately became the wife of a duke. Except for some bullying from her mother-in-law, she never suffered in her life.

The most amazing thing is that she died when the Jia family just fell into decline, but she didn’t suffer at all. She lived a long life and was able to survive. She had a lot of luck, slurp slurp. ]

The system kept muttering to Jia Cheng in his mind, but Jia Cheng did not reply to him. Instead, he acted out in his mind, “The old lady is very kind and amiable. I like her so much and want to see her every day.

But if I come here every day, I won’t be able to accompany my parents all the time. What should I do if my parents miss me? I’m really distressed. ]

Jia She and Madam Xing heard Jia Cheng's thoughts at the same time, and a smile flashed across Jia She's lips.

He thought to himself, "As expected, my son still misses me the most. However, it might be good for Cheng to come to the old lady's place and hang out more often."

The old lady has a lot of assets, but she can't give them all to Jia Baoyu. Her own Shuanbao is loved by everyone and can definitely replace Baoyu's position in the old lady's heart.

The more Jia She thought about it, the happier he became, and he decided to send Jia Cheng to Rong Xi Tang every day.

Mrs. Xing had a strange expression on her face, feeling happy yet helpless. She was unwilling to pay her respects to the old lady every day. After all, she was always a supporting role every time.

But if her son likes this place, then she will have to stay here with her son all the time. However, when she thinks of all the treasures in Lady Jia's hands, Mrs. Xing feels that she should just stay here with him, just for the money.

Jia Cheng's childish words made Grandmother Jia happy, and at the same time he expressed a friendly attitude towards Jia Baoyu.

How could Jia Baoyu stand the attention of his beautiful brother, so he sat down next to Jia Cheng and stuck to him and refused to get down.

The system screamed, [Jia Baoyu's luck is also very strong, worthy of being the male protagonist. Even if he failed in the end, his luck is different from others. I am so happy that I am almost dizzy.]

Jia Cheng ignored the system's sigh and continued to try to please Lady Jia calmly.

The system then discovered a progress bar below the system mall, which was currently 50% loaded, and the system was extremely excited.

[The system mall is about to open. Cheng'er, you should spend more time with Grandmother Jia and Jia Baoyu. Maybe the mall will open tomorrow. Good days are coming.]

The system's words made Jia Cheng excited for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. He didn't say anything in his heart, but just kept setting off fireworks in his mind.
