I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 52: Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng form an alliance

In Rongqing Hall, Grandmother Jia was talking to Wang Xifeng. Now only Wang Xifeng could make Grandmother Jia happier.

Grandmother Jia leaned back in a thickly cushioned chair. Her mental state was much better than the previous two days. She felt that her body was slowly recovering.

This time the illness came on strangely, and Grandmother Jia knew that she was definitely not injured by Jia Baoyu.

No matter how fat Jia Baoyu was, he was just a child. Grandmother Jia knew how strong her body was. How could she be weakened by being hit by a child?

She felt that her condition was very much like poisoning, because no disease could make a person suddenly become weak.

Grandmother Jia had doubts in her heart, so she mobilized her own people to investigate.

However, the servants checked and found nothing unusual. Grandmother Jia secretly cursed these servants for being useless, so she had no choice but to ask Wang Xifeng to help her.

Today is a good time.

Mrs. Wang did not come to join in the fun today. She moved to Mingli Hall, where a lot of things were waiting for her to deal with. Jia Zheng was a man who didn't care about anything, so Mrs. Wang had to work harder.

Jia Baoyu did not come to see Grandmother Jia today. Jia Zheng was forcing him to study because Jia Baoyu was caught by Jia Zheng eating the rouge of a maid.

Between being beaten to death and reading to atone for his sins, Jia Baoyu chose to atone for his sins.

What happened was that today Jia Zheng suddenly had the urge to go see Jia Baoyu, wanting to ask him if he had adapted to his new residence. As a result, he saw Jia Baoyu hanging out with a group of women and eating rouge.

Jia Baoyu was a chubby ball, nestling in the arms of a skinny maid, acting coquettishly and cutely, wanting to eat the rouge on her lips.

Jia Baoyu hugged Keren's neck, moved in front of her, and pouting his little mouth bit her rouge-painted lips.

Honey was added to the rouge, so it had a little sweetness. Jia Baoyu ate it with great relish and couldn't help but bite the lovely lips.

Keren turned her head away in pain, trying to avoid Jia Baoyu's attack, but Jia Baoyu pressed her shoulders and said coquettishly: "Good sister, please give me another bite of rouge, it's so sweet."

Another maid with a seductive look on her face applied thick rouge on her lips to tease Jia Baoyu.

"Baoyu, I also put on rouge, why do you only eat sister Keren's and not mine?"

Jia Baoyu was even happier when he heard this. His chubby face was full of smiles. He stretched out his hand to Meiren and said, "Sister Meiren, come here quickly. Let me taste the rouge on your lips."

Jia Zheng was so angry that his face turned blue on the spot. If the servant hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten Jia Baoyu to death.

Ke'er and Mei'er, who had followed Baoyu in making trouble, were also punished.

Jia Zheng couldn't bring himself to slap the maids, so he had them each be beaten with five boards to teach them a lesson.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Baoyu's frightened and helpless face and did not scold him too much.

Jia Zheng had very low expectations for Jia Baoyu. He did not ask Jia Baoyu to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. He just wanted his youngest son to have a reputation.

As a result, this boy was greedy for women and lustful. He was a lecher at a young age. He did nothing serious every day and just thought about eating the rouge on the maid's lips.

If Jia Zhu had not died young, Jia Zheng would not have forced Jia Baoyu to study.

When Baoyu was doing the "Zhuazhou" ceremony, he grabbed a box of rouge. Jia Zheng thought that it was very accurate. At such a young age, Jia Baoyu only knew that women's rouge tasted good, but he had no intention of making any progress.

Seeing that Jia Cheng had memorized all the Four Books and Five Classics, and even his companions Jia Yun and Jia Hao were making rapid progress, Jia Zheng became anxious when he saw their learning progress.

He didn't ask Jia Baoyu to be as talented as Jia Cheng, but he also couldn't be outdone by Jia Yun and Jia Hao.

Jia Baoyu has been loved by his grandmother since he was a child. He was born with a jade in his mouth, and he is smart and clever. He is the apple of Jia Zheng's eye.

Jia Zheng always said that Jia Baoyu was wasting his time on pleasure, but he felt sorry for him in his heart.

Now Jia Baoyu is growing up, but he doesn't like reading books about the imperial examination. Instead, he likes poetry.

Jia Zheng has always hoped that Jia Baoyu would study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and embark on a career in officialdom in the future.

However, Jia Baoyu had no interest in the imperial examination. He hated the eight-legged essay and preferred to play among piles of rouge, which made Jia Zheng very anxious.

Jia Zheng knew that although Jia Baoyu was smart, he was spoiled too much by the old lady and could not bear the hardship of studying.

He had also thought about whether he should relax his requirements on Jia Baoyu, but he was worried that doing so would make Jia Baoyu even more self-indulgent.

Therefore, he could only use strict methods to urge Jia Baoyu to study, hoping that he would wake up soon and understand the importance of learning.

However, Jia Zheng also knew in his heart that Jia Baoyu was not stupid, he just didn't like reading.

In fact, compared to Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan inherited Jia Zhu's talent for reading and worked very hard.

However, when Jia Zheng saw the child, he thought of Jia Zhu, so he avoided him.

Since Mrs. Wang already had her treasure Jia Baoyu, she felt inferior to Jia Lan. She also disliked Li Wan, and as a result, she also disliked her grandson.

She always felt that it was Li Wan who killed her son. Who cares about grandchildren? One can have countless grandchildren, but there are only two sons.

Jia Zheng wants to teach Jia Baoyu to read, and Mrs. Wang agrees very much. She is looking forward to the day when Jia Baoyu will become successful.

She hoped that Jia Baoyu could complete what Jia Zhu had not done.

Mrs. Wang still wants to compare herself with Jia Cheng, and she absolutely refuses to admit that Jia Baoyu is worse than Jia Cheng.

Mrs. Wang hated Lady Jia's constant comments that Jia Baoyu was still young and weak and shouldn't go to school.

Baoyu is a little weak in health, but it is better to study properly than to hang out with maids all day long.

Since Jia Baoyu could not come to Rongqing Hall to accompany his grandmother, Wang Xifeng became the most favored person around the old lady.

Her witty remarks and flattery made Lady Jia very happy.

As Grandmother Jia was laughing, she suddenly sighed. Wang Xifeng, who was very good at reading people's expressions, naturally hurriedly asked: "Old lady, who made you unhappy? Although I can't read, I have strength. I will go and beat up that thief."

Wang Xifeng deliberately acted fierce, and the emotions that Jia Mu had just built up were almost gone. She pointed her finger at Wang Xifeng from a distance and said, "You little Feng Lazi, when you are here, no one dares to mess with an old lady like me. It's just that my illness came on suddenly, and I'm panicking."

Wang Xifeng said comfortingly: "Old lady, you are the pillar of the Rongguo Mansion. Don't panic. You will live a long life."

Grandmother Jia dismissed the maids around her and took Wang Xifeng's hand, "Feng girl, I know my own body. My illness this time is too strange."

Grandmother Jia's face looked a little gloomy. It was the first time that Wang Xifeng saw this expression on the kind-looking old lady's face, and she shuddered with fear.

Grandmother Jia held Wang Xifeng tightly, not letting her retreat. "Feng girl, I like you best among all these granddaughters-in-law. In the future, Rongguo Mansion will belong to you and Lian'er. As long as you do your job well, you can become the housekeeper in advance."

The housekeeper mentioned by Lady Jia is not someone who runs errands for Lady Wang, but the mistress who truly holds all the power in Rongguo Mansion.

Wang Xifeng's blood boiled after hearing Lady Jia's two sentences. If she could be the manager directly, who would be willing to run errands?

Wang Xifeng took Grandmother Jia's hand and said flatteringly: "I know that you love me. You are the general and I am your soldier. I will do whatever you ask me to do.

Madam, you are the ancestor of Rongguo Mansion. Learning a few tricks from you will be of great benefit to me."

Wang Xifeng showed her loyalty, and Grandmother Jia smiled with satisfaction, "I knew that Feng girl was the one that suited my heart best, and I didn't have much to ask you to do. As an old lady, I just want to be healthy, but unfortunately, things don't go as planned, and my illness is strange."

Wang Xifeng understood what was said and immediately said, "Hello, old lady. Only when Rongguo Mansion is well, I want to see if there is anyone playing tricks in this mansion."

Grandmother Jia and Wang Xifeng held hands tightly and reached a consensus.

Wang Xifeng acts in a hurry. She can't wait to investigate whether someone is harming Lady Jia. She actually thinks that Lady Jia's illness is abnormal.

It's just that she used to be a quiet person, but now that Lady Jia has given her the power to manage the household, she wants to meddle in other people's affairs.

Wang Xifeng would not do anything that had no benefit.

With the benefits in mind, Wang Xifeng worked hard.

As soon as Wang Xifeng came out of Rongqing Hall, she met Jia She who was holding Jia Cheng. Wang Xifeng saluted respectfully, feeling a little disdain for Jia Cheng in her heart.

Although there were rumors in the mansion that Jia Cheng was a good student, it was also said that he was very lucky.

But Wang Xifeng looked down on him, a six-year-old child who was held up by someone every day. There were more than a dozen maids with names serving him in the room.

This is too much pampering.

None of the princes in the palace were raised like this.

If Jia Cheng knew what Wang Xifeng was thinking, he would definitely feel very aggrieved. He also wanted to walk, but Jia She liked to hug him, as if hugging Jia Cheng was a big deal.

If Jia Cheng ever refused Jia She's offer to carry him while walking, Jia She would feel as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Since Jia She was willing to be his mount, Jia Cheng had no choice.

Jia She did not have a good face when facing his daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng, after all, she was Mrs. Wang's niece.

He ignored Wang Xifeng and carried Jia Cheng into Rongqing Hall.

As soon as he arrived, Grandmother Jia's face became stiff.

Recently, Grandmother Jia has been really afraid of Jia She. It seems that everything involving him becomes weird, and she always suffers losses.

Grandmother Jia asked with a fake smile: "She'er, what are you doing here?"

Jia She pretended to laugh cheerfully, "Madam, Cheng'er is filial. He missed his grandmother and said he was worried that she would not be able to adapt to the new residence. I brought him to see her."

Grandmother Jia snorted and laughed. She was really afraid of Jia Cheng's filial piety. Every time Jia Cheng showed filial piety, it brought disaster to her.

She would rather Jia Cheng stay away from her.

Grandmother Jia sat a little further away from Jia Cheng without noticing, but Jia Cheng, being a child, didn't know how to read people's expressions and just moved closer.

"Grandma, how are you? Brother Cheng is so worried about you." Jia Cheng blinked innocently.

System: [Ugh, continue installing.]

Jia She: My son is so cute, so filial, and so handsome.

Jia Mu felt her skin was numb and itchy when Jia Cheng touched her. She felt uncomfortable all over and resisted the urge to push Jia Cheng away. With shaking hands, Jia Mu said, "Brother Cheng is really filial and will definitely have a bright future. I heard that you have been reading a lot recently. Don't get too tired.

You don't need to worry about me. As a child, you just need to eat well, drink well and sleep well every day. It will be filial to me if you grow up healthily.

Well, I've seen it all, grandma is fine, you should go back and have some rest, it's so hot outside, be careful not to get a heat stroke."

Grandmother Jia talked a lot and wanted to quickly drive Jia Cheng and Jia She away.

Jia Cheng continued to act like an ignorant child, "Grandma, you are sick, how can I concentrate on my studies?

What I have been reading recently is not books on the imperial examination, but medical books. Once I have cured you, I will go back and rest. "

Jia Cheng’s smile was very cute, but in Grandmother Jia’s eyes it was like a death warrant.

Oh my god, this little bastard wants to kill her.

Grandmother Jia glared at Jia She, thinking that it was Jia She who was behind it. Not only did he ask her to move away, he even wanted her to die.

Grandmother Jia doesn't want to die, she hasn't enjoyed this rich life enough.

Jia She was confused by the glare. His son Cheng was so sincere, why was the old lady glaring at him? She was indeed biased.
