Jia Cong, the concubine who crossed the Red Chamber

Jia Cong returned to the mansion in a trance, went back to his room first, changed his clothes, and washed his face.

Chen Yu said worriedly: "What's wrong with you today, why does your expression look a bit wrong, but what's the matter? Today, the eldest lady of the Lin family is here, so please go ahead, you can't hang your face like this."

Jia Cong frowned, looked in the mirror, patted his face vigorously, asked Chen Yu to borrow her rouge, and lightly brushed it on, and Mrs. Xing, who just came, said hello to her room.

Mrs. Xing saw Jia Cong moving in with a smile, her face was like a peach blossom, like a moving happy ball, the corners of her mouth could not help but raised, and she said with a smile: "You look good today, but you seem to be getting fatter."

Jia Cong touched his small face, "Is there anything, I don't think I have any appetite recently, maybe it's because of the clothes."

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "Your sister made you a dress last time. Although the stitches are a little thicker, you can still see through it. I look thinner too. Why don't you try it."

Jia Cong was taken aback when he heard about Yingchun's clothes. He had never heard of Yingchun's skills, so he hurriedly picked up the clothes and changed them.

Mrs. Xing was very pleased when she saw it, and said with a smile: "Yes, you look more handsome in your clothes, just dress like this, the old lady will ask her to have dinner with her later."

Jia Cong said: "Mother and sister-in-law just go, what does the old lady ask me to do? I can't eat with you in the back room, it's boring to be alone."

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "You forgot, Miss Lin just arrived today. Unless the second master and the second wife have the ability to reach the sky, they will turn their backs. Now that the old lady is all on Baoyu, don't you want to find someone for him?" Good Yue family? Let me tell you, the old lady will definitely ask you and Baoyu to eat in the back room tonight. Just say that you are still young and are relatives of our own family, so even the nuns can't stop you."

Jia Cong sneered and said: "I mean, what kind of meal did you ask me to eat when there were foreigners. It turned out to be a cover for her golden grandson. Jia Baoyu doesn't want to study or take imperial examinations, and wants to live by climbing women's skirts , do you have to pull me? Look at me and he don’t want reputation like him?”

Mrs. Xing shook her head and said: "In my opinion, that Baoyu is just a spoiled child who knows what is good. It was all instigated by the old lady. Since you can't push it, why don't you just say you are sick."

When Jia Cong heard the word "sick", his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Madam, this is a great idea. It's just that it's better to do a full set of acting. Why not be 'sick' with tomorrow's homework."

Mrs. Xing knew that Jia Cong was not one who would be lazy in his homework, so she was not angry when she heard this, but said with a clear face, "I'm afraid you are being naughty again, and avoided illness."

Jia Cong blushed and said embarrassedly: "As expected, my wife knows me best, so she will obey me."

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "It's nothing to you, it's just that I ate a crystal steamed stuffed bun with bean curd yesterday and thought it tasted very good..."

Jia Cong hurriedly replied with a distressed face: "I'll ask someone to bring my order. What mother likes to eat, just say, son should be filial to you."

Sure enough, that night, Jia Mu still asked Jia Baoyu to sit on her left to eat.He said that his family was happy, and he also said that the nuns had worked hard, so they only sent them to eat elsewhere, and did not ask to serve Daiyu.Daiyu had no choice but to sit on Jiamu's right hand, facing Baoyu.

Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng, and Li Wan, the three daughters-in-law, just spread a few chopsticks of dishes at the beginning, and asked Jia Mu to let them go to the outhouse to eat by themselves.There were only Jiamu, Baoyu, Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and other servant girls, big and small, at the banquet.

Baoyu was extremely attentive to this familiar younger sister, and would help Daiyu spread a few dishes with chopsticks from time to time.Daiyu's mothers and maids were not around, so it was hard for her to speak, so she had to eat with her head bowed in shame and anger, without looking up.Seeing this, Jia's mother thought it was because her youngest daughter was shy, and she was very satisfied.Baoyu is ignorant, Tanchun is happy to see it, Yingchun sneers in his heart and doesn't show it.Several people ate an indigestible dinner with their own thoughts.

The next day, Jia Cong was still "ill".For the sake of effect, he begged his elder brother Jia Lian to sign a series of unequal treaties, so that Jia Lian could go to the academy to ask for leave in person.

Mr. Meiyuan met Jia Lian, so he believed in his words, knowing that Jia Cong was really ill, and it was not serious.After expressing his sincere concern, he did not mention that Jia Cong was punished for copying the Analects of Confucius.

At the morning reading, Chen Ruiwen handed in the fine writing, and the husband flipped through it briefly, and said: "Yes, I think you have copied a lot, and your handwriting is not bad. You must not bully your classmates in the future, do you understand?"

Chen Ruiwen was upset in his heart, but he couldn't speak out, so he just bowed his head in response.The gentleman sighed: "Jia Cong is still young, and the situation at home was like that before, so it is inevitable that he is more worried. Just now his brother came to the school to ask for leave in person, saying that he has been ill since he went back yesterday, and he can't get up now. Good day Think about it."

The teachers of Qingyun Academy are naturally impartial.Speaking for Jia Cong like this today, one reason is that he felt that Jia Cong did not make a big mistake yesterday, but he fell ill from fright.Compared with Chen Ruiwen, who is often punished, the heart of a child can be seen.Second, when Jia Lian came to ask for leave just now, he spoke earnestly, quite politely, and pitifully. Besides, the eldest family of Rongguo Mansion has a lot of holy relatives recently, and the husband also intends to sell his favor.

After that, the husband arranged for everyone to mark their respective progress and asked himself to read aloud, and the sound of reading was heard in the room instantly.Only the two of them seem to be thinking about it, fidgeting.

Chen Ruiwen, a bastard, didn't know that Jia Cong didn't dare to show up right away because of a guilty conscience.I only feel regret in my heart, Cong'er is thin-skinned and weak, if she is really mad at herself, it will be a sin.Thinking about it this way, I just thought it would be a good time to go and see it.

Besides, Shi Guangzhu pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, wondering if Jia Cong was really ill, or escaped?If it's the former, then I usually think highly of him.If it's the latter, then this person can't be handed over, and he shrinks back when things happen, and the response is not enough.More importantly, this shows that Jia Cong's attitude towards himself before was all fake.

Besides, for Jia Cong, although he asked for leave and didn't go to school, he was not idle.

When I got up early, I asked Luoyan to prepare the bamboo and wood. First, I wrote a few lines of Analects on it with a small pen, and then I took it out and carved it out slowly.Like a seal, rub some ink on it, and then cover it with a layer of paper, that is, the Analects of Confucius again.Fresh bamboo and wood are very malleable, and they will be slightly deformed when they are slightly heated. If you rub it again, the handwriting will be slightly different, and it will be another Analects.

Since Jia Cong's first day in college, he knew that his husband likes to make people copy the Analects of Confucius as a punishment. After thinking about it, it took several months to research such a good method.I have also tried repeatedly, carving bamboo wood once and using it repeatedly, at least a hundred times will not be a problem.

Jia Cong nested in the room for a whole day without resting. Although he was not unkempt, his face was disheveled.At this moment, Chen Yu came in to answer, saying that a classmate surnamed Chen came from Jia Cong's courtyard and the corner gate of Ningrong Street.Because of this, no one else was alarmed.

As soon as Jia Cong heard it, he knew that it was Chen Ruiwen's bastard. He rolled his eyes and hurriedly instructed Chen Yu to put away the bamboo, wood and carving knife.He also told Chen Yu not to care about his appearance, he still posed like this, with his hair a little messed up.The maid, Guan Yue, had just had her menstrual period, and the nanny prescribed a few doses of blood-enriching medicine. Jia Cong asked someone to borrow it, and sprinkled some on the four corners of the room. The smell of soup and medicine filled the room. The window screens made it gloomy.

This is what Chen Ruiwen saw when he entered the door.The doors and windows were closed tightly, no wind could pass through, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine. Jia Cong huddled in the corner of the bed with a disheveled face, looking at him in surprise.Chen Ruiwen was shocked immediately, why did he look like this in just one day.Hastily stepped forward, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said anxiously: "Why is it like this! It's only a day's work, why are you bothering!"

Jia Cong, who was full of panic, naturally didn't dare to say anything, he just lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.Seeing this, Chen Ruiwen became puzzled in his heart, if it was just what happened to him yesterday, Cong'er would definitely not be like this!Something must have happened!

After that, Chen Ruiwen naturally asked about his health, and then asked what was going on.Jia Cong only said in a low voice: "It's okay, I just caught a cold, don't worry."

Chen Ruiwen said: "It's all right, what are you going to do? Could it be that you were laughed at instead of confessing to Shi Guangzhu?"

Jia Cong couldn't help trembling when he heard this, God, what kind of logic is this bastard, how could he think of this!Jia Cong was frightened by Chen Ruiwen's thoughts, but Chen Ruiwen himself didn't think so.Jia Cong was fine at first, but when he heard Shi's name, he trembled with fright!Wasn't she bullied by Shi Guangzhu?

As soon as Chen Ruiwen left, Shi Guangzhu came back.

Jia Cong's heart broke out in a cold sweat, the two of them were so close to each other that they hurriedly asked someone to welcome Shi Guangzhu in.

When Shi Guangzhu entered the room, the first thing he did was to look around, staring at Jia Cong's face carefully.He also took a few steps forward, squeezed Jia Cong's hand, and said: "This complexion is indeed bad, but these hands are very strong, and there are faint marks on them. Today must be a carving knife." Nose Wrinkled, sniffed, and said again: "The smell of medicine is coming from all around, but you don't have any smell of medicine on your body. Besides, this medicine is for nourishing blood and Qi. It must be used by some little girl, and you snatched it away." Come." Bending down to look at the ground, he smiled again: "Isn't that right, you must have carved something today, even though it was cleaned clean, there are still pieces left."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes, with his 5.0 eyesight, he couldn't see anything broken, okay?Does this product belong to Sheriff Black Cat?Seeing that Shi Guangzhu is so smart, he simply stopped pretending.Lifting the quilt, he threw himself on Shi Guangzhu, and said coquettishly: "Oh, brother Shi is the most powerful, you can see it at a glance, what a skill. Why don't you teach me, okay?"

Shi Guangzhu got goosebumps all over Jia Cong's disgust, twisted Jia Cong's ears, and sneered, "You still dare to act like a spoiled child! You are so brave. I only said a word to you yesterday, but I dare to get sick today! If I said a few more words , aren’t you going to commit suicide?”

Jia Cong hurriedly begged for mercy: "How dare you, Big Brother Shi doesn't know something, it's my family's business." Adhering to the spirit of a dead Taoist friend, Jia Cong selectively ignores what is a family ugliness that should not be publicized, and puts him in a few words. Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu were sold.

After hearing this, Shi Guangzhu believed it for five minutes, and said with a smile: "What is this difficult, I will teach you a trick, and it will keep them quiet for a few months."
