Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 11 Accidentally cheated Baoyu

But half a day later, the news that Jia Rong met the two old princes at night spread in the two prefectures.No one knew what the old Duke and Brother Rong had said, except for the lords and wives in the mansion and someone in the palace.

Mother Jia and all the masters in the house felt that the matter was serious, and decided to hold a sacrifice to the ancestral hall to thank Xianen.

Not only did they forcefully invite Jia Jing from Xuanzhen Temple, but they also notified all the members of the Bafang family of the Jia family in the capital.

"In this way, the name Jia Rong should become famous in Shenjing."

Jia Rong looked helplessly at the couplet in front of the main hall of Jia's ancestral hall: "The descendants have inherited Fude, and Li Shu has read Ningrong to this day."

"If you are really spiritual, you should forgive me for lying."

I was just doing it for self-protection, why did this happen?

Fortunately, the nonsense that Brother Rong made up here made the Jia family look at it a few times.I really regard Jia Rong as the future pillar of Jia's mansion that the immortals are optimistic about.

So it was a blessing in disguise.

Jia Zhen has to take care of her face, and she shouldn't do anything out of the ordinary in a short time.The elders in the West Mansion also conveyed their intention to take care of them, and asked Brother Rong to go to each house more often.

Seeing Jia Rong in the ancestral hall, the descendants of the Jia family all had strange expressions on their faces. They also heard about the old Duke's entrusting a dream, and they were in very complicated moods.

Baoyu, Jia Huan and other young people were even more hesitant to speak several times, full of curiosity.

Jia Jing, the grandson of Jia Yan, Duke of Ningguo, presided over the sacrifice, Jia She, the eldest grandson of Jia Yuan, Duke of Rongguo, accompanied the sacrifice, Jia Zhen presented the noble, Jia Lian and Jia Cong presented silk, precious jade held incense, Jiachang and Jia Ling Spread the worship mat and guard the burning pool.

Playing scriptures, welcoming the gods, presenting gifts three times, worshiping four times, burning silk, and liberating wine.It takes a full half a day.

In the afternoon, Jia's mother returned to the mansion with all the female relatives.Before leaving, Jia Rong didn't know if she had an illusion, and found that Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, looked at her with a bit of coldness.

After the female relatives left, Jia Rong found the unkind eyes from the ancestral hall again, it was Jia Zhen.

"Why didn't you tell me first?"

"Huh?" Jia Rong pretended to be stupid, and asked, "What does the master mean?"

Jia Zhen snorted and left with a bad expression.

Jia Rong understood the reason for Master Zhen's displeasure.

Just because of Jia Rong's lie, everyone in the Jia family looked at Jia Rong differently.People who even the old father-in-law gave advice in person must not allow Jia Zhen to beat and scold at will.

Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty and others also taught Jia Zhen to treat Jia Rong leniently, which made Jia Zhen feel that her patriarchal rights had been affected.At the same time, Jia Zhen also understands that even if she misses her daughter-in-law again, she can't do anything for the time being.

Otherwise, it will not only affect his patriarchal power, but may even involve Jia Zhen's power as the patriarch of the Jia clan.

Jia Rong looked at Jia Zhen's back with a smile on her face.Jia Zhen is not happy, but Rong Rong is happy.

"The underworld system consisting of the Son of Heaven, the King of the City God Temple, and the Land Bodhisattva, and the Immortal System consisting of the Jade Emperor and various gods and monsters constitute the third system of power that dominates the people." Such a passage suddenly popped up in my mind.

Remember these three kinds of power—state power, family power, and divine power ruled everyone in feudal society.

The ancestors of the ancestral hall occupy two of the powers of the clan and the gods. Even though Jia Zhen is the head of the clan, he is also subject to this kind of power.

"Brother Rong, what are you laughing at?"

The lively little fat man slipped to Jia Rong's side at some point. Following Jia Rong's gaze, he looked outside the ancestral hall and saw a group of servants outside.

"Am I smiling?"

"Yes, I saw it." Baoyu nodded very firmly.

"Oh." Jia Rong thought for a while and said, "I just remembered a sentence from the two old princes. I am happy for Uncle Bao."

"Happy for me?" Baoyu asked suspiciously, then suddenly shouted excitedly: "Did the patriarch mention me?"

Baoyu's voice attracted the attention of other people in the ancestral hall. Jia Huan and Jia Lan came over first, and Jia Zheng and Jia She came curiously.

But Jia Rong didn't know that the crowd had already gathered around him, and said jokingly, "Of course. Uncle Bao is my Jia family's treasure and a unicorn talent. The old Duke naturally has a heart for you."

When Baoyu heard the words, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, always feeling that Brother Rong in front of him wanted to cheat him.He asked suspiciously: "What did the old man say about me?"

At this time, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others were also surrounded, and Jia Zheng was also close.

I heard Jia Rong say boldly there: "The old man taught me that the person who held the jade at home was the waiter Shenying of the Chixia Palace in Lihentian in his previous life, and the jade in his mouth was the last stone left by the old God Nuwa when he mended the sky. "

Baoyu didn't believe it, and said, "You made it up."

Jia Huan next to her was shocked, and there was indescribable jealousy in her eyes when she looked at Baoyu Zhiyu.Not to mention Baoyu's father, Jia Zheng, who heard this, was also stunned on the spot for a moment. Baoyu was actually the reincarnation of a fairy?
Jia Rong laughed and said, "How dare I invent the words of the immortals."

Anyway, it was seen in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" before. The writer set it up like this, and I just told the truth, so I don't care if it is true or not.

After all, Baoyu was young, and the society respected ghosts and gods the most, so he believed most of what he heard.A smile suddenly formed on his face, he pulled Jia Rong's sleeve, and said eagerly: "What else did the old man say?"

Jia Rong sighed softly, and said nonsense: "The immortal said that Second Uncle Bao likes tenderness and loves rouge, but also dislikes stereotyped writing, otherwise, using the spirit of Shenying to mend the sky and make up the treasure, he will surely become the No. [-] scholar in high school and become a great help to revitalize Jia's family. "

Baoyu is stupid!

Jia Huan is stupid!

Everyone who heard Jia Rong's words was dumbfounded.

Naturally, it also included Jia Zheng and Jia She, who were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.Master Jia Jing, who was proud of his youth, was only a second-class Jinshi. Jia Zhu failed to pass the examination after entering school at the age of 14, and even Lin Ruhai, a well-educated son of a book eunuch, was only able to get the first place.

What kind of talent will Baoyu possess as the number one scholar recognized by the motherland?

Jia Zheng was very happy and relieved.The look in Baoyu's eyes became more and more different, and he felt that Jia's family should be happy, and he should pay more attention to Baoyu's study in the future.He made up his mind to urge Baoyu to be more strict in his studies in the future until he got the first prize.

The little fat man seemed to have sensed something, and when he turned his head, he looked at the piercing eyes of Master Shangzheng.

I shouted in my heart that it was not good!

Looking at Jia Rong again, he cried and said, "Brother Rong, you hurt me, you hurt me."

It was only then that Jia Rong realized that many people had been surrounded behind him unknowingly.Seeing Jia Zheng and Jia She with different expressions, he could only give a dry cough and said to himself, "Second Uncle Bao is on a good journey, and my nephew will see you off."

Jia Zheng squeezed forward at this time, and Baoyu ran away in a hurry to find some comfort from Jia's mother.

Jia Rong only listened to Master Zheng asking: "Did the two immortals really say this?"

"Eh..." Fortunately, Jia Rong's mind turned quickly. In order not to affect her status in the eyes of everyone in Jia's house, she said: "The ancestors mentioned it once when they were talking to the scorpion monk, and the nephew and grandson didn't listen to it." It’s true. I just remember that an old ancestor said that a person with a jade title should be a top scholar, but he pays attention to love and is difficult to understand, otherwise he would be much more relaxed when he was robbed.”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he sneered in his heart: How can there be any mistakes in the words of the ancestors and the words of the immortals?Since it's difficult to understand the heavy feelings, then I'll beat him to enlightenment.

Seeing Jia Zheng's stern face, Jia Rong felt even more silent for Baoyu.

Ugh……

I really didn't mean to.
