Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Yue'er and the two little maids carried Zhu'er's mother to Jia Rong's yard.On the way, she didn't choose the shortest path, instead, she took a long way from the other side and deliberately passed by Huifang Garden, so she didn't gag Zhu'er's mother and let her Howled and screamed and begged for mercy all the way, but there was no intention of paying attention.

"Sister Xiuju, I seem to have heard the voice of Zhu'er's mother begging for mercy." Siqi frowned slightly, turned his head, and said so to Xiuju.

Xiuju also frowned, "No way?"

Siqi said, "She didn't make any mistakes again? Was she caught by the people of Ningguo Mansion?"

Hearing what Siqi said, Xiuju quickly reacted, and immediately said: "...According to her greedy temperament, what you said is not impossible. In this way, Xiuju, you should quickly look for it now. Let's see where Zhu'er's mother is now? I have to answer the second girl here. If there is nothing wrong, it's okay. If there is an accident, I'd better let the girl know earlier and let her pay attention. "Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of Uncle Rong, it will not only be a matter of embarrassment for my own girl, but the entire Rongguo Mansion will be embarrassing along with it.

When Siqi heard Xiuju's words, he took it for granted, nodded, and went to find Zhuer's mother without mentioning it.

Of course, Zhu'er's mother had already been escorted to Jia Rong by Yue'er at this time, so she naturally couldn't find it.This chess player is also a smart person, he realized that Zhu'er's mother could not be found anywhere, and already had a bad feeling, so he went to the door and asked.

Knowing that before the cup of tea, there was a woman here. I don't know what happened to Yin?Being pushed by Aunt Pei's first-class maid, Yue'er, she went to the uncle's yard.Hearing this news, Siqi's eyes darkened immediately, and he calmed down his emotions. After finding out the woman's clothes and general appearance, his complexion suddenly changed.Immediately trotted to the garden.

While Siqi and the gatekeeper of Huifang Garden were listening to the news, Yue'er had successfully escorted Zhu'er's mother to Qinghui Garden.

Jia Rong was teasing Sister Han in the yard at this time.Sister Han, who is only two and a half years old now, is very old, and her facial features are completely taken from Aunt Pei's delicate and beautiful facial features.

As a woman in her previous life, although her temperament was not always strong like a woman's, she still had a woman's unique inertia in her bones.For cute things, there will always be two points of love.

This sister Han is Jia Rong's half-sister. Although they are not direct relatives, the two of them don't have any enmity, and they don't have any interest in each other.Her biological mother was smart enough, and the little girl herself was cute enough.So Jia Rong still dotes on this younger sister very much.

"Sister Han, are you sleepy?" Jia Rong looked at the little girl who kept rubbing her eyes, then looked up at the current time, stretched out her hand to scratch her nose, and said so.

Sister Han nodded vigorously: "Yes. Big Brother, Sister Han wants to sleep." Then she opened her arms for Jia Rong to hug.

Without any hesitation, Jia Rong stretched out her hand to hold the little girl in her arms, and patted it gently with one hand. The little girl also put her arms around Jia Rong's neck, and fell asleep within a short while.After confirming that the little girl was asleep, he handed her into the arms of Sister Han's wet nurse, Nanny Liu.A maid put a cloak on Sister Han's body.

Jia Rong looked at Mammy Liu and said, "Take Sister Han back to Caiyue Residence, so that she can take good care of her."

Nanny Liu bowed slightly, and agreed softly.

Just before Nanny Liu left, she bumped into Yue'er who was coming over with Zhu'er's mother on her back.Nanny Liu is also considered an old man in the mansion, so she knows what to ask and what not to ask, although she is familiar with Yue'er, but at this moment she left without even pausing in her footsteps.

"My servant has seen the uncle." Yue'er respectfully blessed her body, and said so.

Jia Rong looked around, smiled lightly, and said, "Why are you grabbing other people's servants for no reason?"

Yue'er immediately told the story all over again, and at the end, she said: "Because the mother-in-law claimed to be the wet nurse of the second girl in the West Mansion, my aunt also verified that she was indeed not a slave serving in our mansion. Therefore, my aunt did not dare to be presumptuous." Dispose of it yourself. Then order the servants to bring the uncle to the uncle, and ask the uncle to arbitrate."

"Okay, I see." Jia Rong nodded and said.

Looking down at the trembling woman, she asked, "Are you Jia Yingchun's wet nurse?"

Earlier, Zhu'er's mother had heard a lot about Jia Rong, and knew that this was a ghostly master, but she didn't dare to hide anything at the moment, and said in a trembling voice: "I... no, it's the servant girl."

"You are so courageous. You stole everything into my mansion? Since you are Jia Yingchun's nurse, you should have two positions in Rongguo mansion. Don't you know what kind of temper I am? How dare you Stealing things from me? Do you dislike the comfortable life of a good life? " At the end of Jia Rong's words, her tone suddenly turned cold.

"No, no, no, Master Rong, spare your life, servant girl, servant girl, I will never dare again in the future. Please, Master Rong, forgive this servant girl this time for the sake of the second girl." After speaking, he slammed his head a few times.

Jia Rong said coldly: "Do you think the second girl of your family has such a big face, do you want me to let you go?" Then she waved her hand, "Pull this old thing down, and you will be punished fifty times. If she survives, she will be counted." Fate is big, I don't care about stealing things. If you die, you can only blame your own hands for being cheap. What's wrong with imitating others? I just learn to have three hands. If there is such a misfortune, don't do it in the next life. done."

When Zhu'er's mother heard Jia Rong's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then she shouted in a mournful voice, "Your maidservant belongs to Lin'an county lord, Mr. Rong, you have no right to dispose of your maidservant."

Fifty strokes of the stick, let alone fifty strokes, even twenty strokes, she couldn't stand it.With the fifty boards down, I will definitely die.

Hearing her words, Jia Rong waved her hands to the two people who were about to pull Zhu'er's mother, "You guys go down first."

The two servant girls blessed themselves and retreated.

"You said you belonged to the Lord of Lin'an County?" Jia Rong asked.

In order to save her own life, Zhu'er's mother didn't care about anything, she nodded again and again: "Yes, this servant is the owner of Lin'an County."

"So, the Lord Lin'an ordered you to come here to steal things?" Jia Rong narrowed her beautiful eyes and said so.

At this time, Zhu'er's mother was very frightened by Jia Rong's previous two words. When she heard Jia Rong's request to go back, she felt like she had narrowly escaped death, and even her mind was a little confused. She didn't really hear Jia Rong's words.He didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.

Jia Rong got the answer she wanted, and the expression on her face suddenly became happy. She turned her head and raised her voice to say: "Zhiqiu, Wuya, tie this man up for me. Let's go to the West Mansion right now, and personally Ask Lin'an County Lord. What does this mean?"

Zhiqiu and Wuya immediately responded crisply.

At this time, Zhu'er's mother's frightened expression also recovered, and her face turned pale when she heard Jia Rong's words.Just wait for her to say something?Then she was tied up by two maids, and a veil was stuffed in her mouth. She could only open her eyes wide in horror and let out a sobbing sound.

Jia Rong didn't have much time to pay attention to her at this time.

Asked to make preparations immediately, he went back to the room by himself, changed his clothes, picked the ruby ​​at his waist that had become his logo, and said with a smile: "Yue'er, come with us and be a Witness. In addition, take all the things she stole from you, these are all physical evidence."

Yue'er's face was full of excitement, blessed her body, and answered with a crisp voice, with undisguised joy in her voice.

Just when Jia Rong and his party took Zhu'er's mother swaggeringly to the West Mansion.On the other side, in Huifang Garden, Jia Yingchun already knew about Zhu'er's mother's actions.His face blushed, and after being reminded by Xiuju, he had no choice but to walk up to Jia Ying with a face full of embarrassment. He hesitated for a while, but couldn't speak.

Fortunately, the two maids beside her, Xiuju and Siqi, were both reliable, so they were blessed right away and made things clear.

Jia Ying didn't seem embarrassed when she heard this, so she let the maid beside her feel comfortable and went to Jia Rong's yard to have a look, unexpectedly, it was already a step too late.Zhu'er's mother has been taken to Xifu by Jia Rong.

Because of this incident, the halfway flower viewing party had to end early.

But when I went back, I looked left and right, but Jia Baoyu was nowhere to be seen.I felt a little strange in my heart, but after I asked, I found out.Just now, Jia Baoyu was a bit tired, and Jia Ying had already sent someone to take him to the guest house next door to take a nap at noon.Haven't got up yet.

But because Xiren, Qingwen, Sheyue, Qiuwen and other maidservants are waiting in front of them, everyone is not worried.

Jia Ying then ordered one of her maids, named Caiping, to stay here and guard.If Jia Baoyu wakes up, he just needs to take care of him.

The others hurried back to Rongguo Mansion.

At this time, the Rongguo Mansion was filled with an atmosphere of imminent rain.

Although Jia Rong was not diligent in coming to Rongguo Mansion, he had a few nails in Rongguo Mansion, so he should not be too familiar with Rongguo Mansion's connections.It can be said that they went all the way unimpeded to Jia Lian's current yard.

When he came, the county lord of Lin'an was looking at the books and books in the Rongguo Mansion. While he was looking at them, he heard a loud noise outside. He turned his head, frowned and said to the servant girl Hongzhu, "Go and see what happened outside." Things? Why are you so noisy?"

Hongzhu took the order to go, and returned after a while, Fushen, with a bit of urgency in her voice: "County Lord, it was the Dongfu Rong who brought a woman here, and said he wanted us to explain it. He was very aggressive."

The head of Lin'an county frowned even tighter, stood up in a moment, and said, "Go, go out and have a look."

When I left the room, the first thing I saw was Jia Rong.Although it was not the first time Lin'an County Lord met Jia Rong, she had just married into the Rongguo Mansion at the previous meeting and was a bride. After taking a look, I vaguely remembered that Master Rong of Dongfu was an extremely beautiful child.Now that I saw it again, I began to look at it carefully.Wearing a bamboo green brocade shirt, he is tall and slender, with beautiful and delicate features, and a smile at the corner of his mouth. No matter how you look at him, he is a handsome gentleman?It's just that although Jia Rong had a smile on his face, when people looked at it, they felt chills for no reason.

At this time, behind him, a woman in lotus-colored clothes was tied up.There are also a few maidservants and servants by her side.A group of people can be described as full of posture.

The Lin'an County Lord knew that the bound woman was the nurse of the second girl, and his heart sank, and he had a bad premonition, and said, "Brother Rong, what happened? But Is it okay for this woman to offend you? If she offends you, please consider that she is the nurse of the second girl, and the adults will not remember the faults of the villains, so please forgive her this time."

"I've met the Lin'an county magistrate, I'm a courteous official." Jia Rong is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy handpicked by the emperor. He has officially taken office a few days ago, and he is eligible to be called an official when he is away.He paused slightly, his face turned cold, and he said: "Master Lin'an, I'm here to ask you something. What do you mean? As the royal county lord, his status is more noble than us. So you can do whatever you want, right? You instigated this woman to come to my house to steal things while my aunt was having a banquet with her sisters and happy. The county mistress, I would like to ask, what exactly do you mean? Is it because the mother-in-law went to other people's houses to steal things?"

When Lin'an County Lord heard Jia Rong's words, he secretly said something bad, but he didn't show it on his face, but his tone was a little angry, "Brother Rong, don't spit blood here. I never ordered anyone to come to you Stealing things from the mansion? It was you, as a foreigner, who broke into my yard for no reason. You even tied up the slaves in the mansion. Jia Rong, if you say this, you must have proof? Otherwise, believe me or not Punish you for disrespect?"

"What the county lord said is true. I have no evidence here, so I dare not come here. I, a mung bean-sized mung bean, can't bear the charge of offending the county lord. Yue'er, hurry up and get things done. The original, explain it clearly to the county mistress."

Yue'er is the most eloquent and has a shrewd mind. Although she speaks concisely, the meaning she should express is clear.After speaking, he held the things that Zhu'er's mother had stolen with both hands, and spread them out in front of the Lin'an County Lord.Then he stopped talking.

Jia Rong looked at the downcast face of the Lin'an county magistrate, and said, "County magistrate, it's not that I'm not relentless. If it's just ordinary theft, I'll bear it here, but it happened that I was punishing her. She herself said that she was instructed by you, the majesty of the county, to come to my house to steal things." The tone also became cold, "Miss the magistrate, although your status is precious, but I am not an ordinary person here. Do you know what crime it is to send someone to an official's house to commit murder and steal?"

"Uncle Rong, are you serious?" Although the Lin'an county magistrate was referring to Jia Rong, she looked at Zhu'erma who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, and asked every single word.

When Jia Rong saw the action of Lin'an County Lord, she knew what she said, and she already believed most of it.Showing a smile, "Naturally. Although I have a bad temper, I never get angry with slaves for no reason."

Lin'an County Lord believed Jia Rong's words, but it was precisely because of her belief that she looked at Zhu'er's mother again with a different expression from before.Turning his head to Jia Rong, he said, "Brother Rong, don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."

After all, Zhu'er's mother is considered an old man, and she still has some ability to read words and demeanor, and besides, the words of Lin'an County Lord just now were not polite at all.So her face turned pale immediately, and she remembered what the two maids muttered when they came here, and immediately shouted sadly: "Master, Lord, you can't just ignore your slaves like this!" .Although the slave girl failed to complete the task you gave me, the slave girl did her best to the county lord. If it wasn't for the county lord's affairs, the old slave would not have gone to the East Mansion today anyway. I beg the county lord to watch over the slave girl For the sake of my sincerity, I will save the old slave this time. The old slave..." He said with a few bangs of his head.

"Don't block her mouth, let her talk nonsense here." Lin'an county master saw Zhu'er's mother talking like this, his complexion changed, and he said so.

heartfelt?She really had the nerve to say this, if it was sincere, she wouldn't have said such a thing at this time.He should just keep his mouth shut, maybe he can save her once.As it is now, it must arouse Brother Rong's suspicion.Second Master had told him many times that he was a man who would never be recognized by his relatives, ruthless and ruthless, so he told him not to provoke him easily.

As soon as Lin'an county master finished speaking, a maid immediately stepped forward, took out her handkerchief and stuffed it into Zhu'er's mother's mouth.

However, as soon as Lin'an County Lord raised his head, he saw Jia Rong looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.Seen by Jia Rong's expression, the Lin'an county magistrate felt very uncomfortable, and asked, "Brother Rong, what kind of eyes do you have? Did you believe this woman's nonsense?"

"Whether she is talking nonsense, you and I know very well." Jia Rong looked at the Lin'an County Lord and said.

When Lin'an County Lord heard Jia Rong's words, his eyes shrank suddenly.

"As for this matter, I don't want to go to the past to delve into it. Why don't you ask Lin'an county magistrate to hand over this woman to me?" Jia Rong said again.

The county magistrate of Lin'an immediately refused: "How can this be possible. Well... I mean, this woman is from the West Mansion after all, so it's not easy for you to handle it with Brother Rong. But don't worry, I will definitely give you satisfaction confession."

Jia Rong glanced at Zhu'er's mother, reached out and took the woman out of her mouth, and said bluntly: "If you think about it, you know it now. You have already stepped into the coffin with half a leg. Why don't you say it, Lin'an county magistrate What exactly did you ask me to steal from my mansion? If the answer satisfies me, I will save your life, how about it?"

"Brother Rong, don't make trouble here. This woman is talking nonsense, and you can believe what she says." Lin'an County Lord felt a headache when he saw Jia Rong like this, and said in a somewhat stern tone.

Jia Rong ignored the words of Lin'an County Lord, but said to Zhu'er's mother: "What do you think?"

The Lord of Lin'an County looked at Jia Rong, who was obviously stubborn and determined to investigate to the end, his face darkened, and he sternly reprimanded: "Jia Rong, don't go too far. I've told you about this matter. I'll give you an explanation, what? Our slave in the Rongguo Mansion? How should I deal with it? Is it up to you?" Then he said to Hongxia, the big maid beside him, "Go, bring this woman back to me. "

Hongxia responded and was about to go over.

Jia Rong also opened her mouth and said to Zhiqiu, "Zhiqiu, take good care of people. If you lose it, I will ask for you."

Zhiqiu responded immediately, and Yue'er and Yue'er stepped forward to support Zhu'er's mother.

Seeing this, Hongxia looked at the county magistrate Lin'an in embarrassment.

"Jia Rong, what do you mean by this? Don't think that you can do whatever you want if you become a Jinshi and enter the Imperial Academy. You are just a junior official of the seventh rank." Although Lin'an County Lord is the concubine daughter of King Fu, but because of Concubine Fu has no daughter, and she is the youngest, so she was very favored at home, so she has a very savage temper, and now she is stripped of face again and again by Jia Rong.His temper naturally came up.

Jia Rong said coolly, "Is the county mistress trying to suppress people with power?"
