Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 5
"Rong'er is here?"

The place where Jia Zhen called Jia Rong was neither the main hall nor You's Courtyard, but the Doufeng Pavilion in Huifang Garden.This place is very special, it is the room where Ning Mansion entertains distinguished guests.

But when Jia Rong came in, Jia Zhen was the only one in the room, but there were two cups of cold tea on the table.

"Master, do you have something to order?"

In this society, 'Master' is almost a universal appellation.The father is called the master, and the father-in-law is also called the master; the official gentry is the master, and the head of the family is also the master; the god is the master, and the monk is still the master.

It doesn't matter whether you know someone or not, you feel that the other person is noble, and you can basically call him a master.

Jia Zhen, the master of the Ning Mansion, asked casually: "I heard from my servant that something happened in Xuanzhen Temple. How is your grandfather?"

"It's fine for the time being, it's just that... the old masters Niu Gui and She Shen in Guanli changed the ancient prescriptions arbitrarily and added some poisonous doses, so they almost flew up in place. I'm afraid that next time, when no one is present, the grandfather will... ..."

Jia Rong made the matter more serious on purpose.

In fact, what happened to Jia Jing and others was entirely due to eating the golden elixir that he had refined blindly for several years.

The corners of Jia Zhen's mouth twitched when she heard this. "Why didn't you ask the local county magistrate to lock him up?"

"The old Taoist said that the prescriptions are the same as those used by Emperor Shizong of the previous dynasty, and he also said that today's saints also eat them. And...if the Taoist priests are locked up, I am afraid that our family will be involved in it."

"They Taoists harmed your grandfather, how could they involve our Ning Mansion."

Jia Rong smiled wryly and said: "There are two flavors in the prescription, one is the autumn stone refined from the urine of a hundred and eight boys, and the other is the menstrual blood of ninety-nine 81 virgins."

The so-called menstrual blood is also called Xiahong, and it is commonly called Da Yi Ma in later generations.

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Master, do you still remember the thousands of taels of silver that the mansion sent to the temple every year? Most of the money was used by Taoist priests to buy people. In order to ensure the purity of virgins and the connection between heaven and man, Niubizi only let people eat mulberry leaves and drink every day. dew."

Jia Zhen didn't take it seriously, and said: "Since it is bought, it is not a big deal even if people are killed. However, it is inevitable that people will gossip about abusing servants and ruin the reputation of our mansion. Tomorrow, I will go to see Li said."

When Jia Rong heard this, she felt extremely sad.

Although I exaggerated the matter, even though I only ate mulberry leaf dew on the day of geranium, these bought girls are still pitiful.

This master Zhen thought that it would not be a big deal if someone died, but he was afraid of ruining the reputation of the mansion.

All of them are human-like, but none of them are human.

Just because they signed the contract of prostitution, they lost their human rights in this feudal society.If you die, you will die.In the eyes of these masters who are also not human, they lost dozens of taels of silver.

This is the tragedy of the great age.

When he knew this, he also wanted to save these people.But the contract of selling himself is in the temple, and without the consent of the host of the temple, he can't do anything.To overwhelm people with power, Jia Rong's identity is not enough, there is still a Grand Master of the Ning Mansion in the temple.

Tang Law Ding: "Slaves and sluts, the law is more than livestock."

The law of Dayan in this dynasty stipulated: "Every family who gives birth to a servant, a servant bought by a seal, or a maidservant who has a child, is a domestic slave, and will serve forever. "

The translation is: Everything about slaves and maidservants, whether it is their descendants or their own lives, belongs to the owner of the house.

"Master, bring Grandpa back as soon as possible." Jia Rong said again, "If Grandpa wants to meditate, it's better to practice a temple in the garden than to be fooled by fake Taoist priests outside."

Jia Zhen frowned slightly, a little unhappy.

He thought: Master Jing is not in the mansion, he is the god of Ning Mansion.If Master Jing came back and stayed in the clean room every day to meditate, if he listened to some gossip and became disciplined, wouldn't it be his own foot?
So he said perfunctorily to Brother Rong: "I see, you go back, I will ask when I go to Guanli tomorrow morning to say hello."

Jia Rong asked about returning to Ningli tomorrow, and after receiving Jia Zhen's prepared reply, she pouted and went back to her yard.

If it wasn't for him being in the Ning Mansion, he wouldn't care about the life and death of this family, it would be better if they were all dead.But I don't want to die, and I don't want to be implicated by these pig teammates.At the beginning, I also had the idea of ​​revealing the matter, but the reputation of the Ning Mansion was ruined, and my own reputation was also ruined.

Maybe that little aunt Xichun is the one with great wisdom, and she separated herself from the Ning Mansion early on.

Although helpless, I have to go on with my life, let alone married a beautiful girl.

Suddenly remembered, why didn't I see this little aunt when I went to Xifu today?

Could it be that he was not born yet?
It shouldn't be, the little aunt is only a few years younger than the third girl.

Could it be that he doesn't want to see his eldest nephew?

Ugh……

At this moment, Brother Rong accepted the fact that he came to the Red Mansion, and he also accepted that he was the unlucky Jia Rong.

no way!
These things cannot be changed!But he still has plans for his future.

I have worked hard all my life in my previous life, and I have made a name for myself... Now I come to such a bad house... No... In Dream of Red Mansions, the most important thing is to get rid of Jia Zhen first, and find a way to eliminate the crisis of Jia's being copied and defeated. Then protect the dear and lovely daughters-in-law, aunts, and aunts of the Dream of Red Mansions...

Live a free, loving and happy life!
It's not in vain to come here!
After having dinner in the courtyard, I saw Qin Keqing came back with the two maids behind her, who were still holding the rewards from the ancestors of the Xifu.

"Thought you were reluctant to come back?"

"It's nothing, the new daughter-in-law won't come back overnight, so she has to go to the wife to set rules."

"What rules?"

The servant girl Baozhu smiled and said, "What else can we do to make rules? It's broken the etiquette. Before we came back, the wife of Mr. Zheng's family set the rules for my aunt, and taught our grandma to say that if the concubine married by the master is disobedient, she will be severely punished." Raise her memory ruthlessly."

Jia Rong was ashamed immediately, how can she teach people such things when she is only married.

Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, wife and concubines, one over the other, are complicated relationships and difficult to deal with.

"Whoever said I want to take a concubine, your grandfather likes your grandma."

Ruizhu said bluntly: "Who knows, the second grandma Lian told grandma that my father has been stealing rouge since he was a child, and asked grandma to watch you order, and don't bring people home every three days."

"Ruizhu." Qin Keqing called out reproachfully, and then said softly to Jia Rong, "Don't listen to their nonsense, Auntie is just joking."

I am not a stallion, how could I bring people home every three days.

Jia Rong didn't take it seriously, but she was a little bit lacking in confidence, who can guarantee what will happen in the future.

On the contrary, it's useless for Sister Feng to watch Jia Lian closely. Shouldn't she eat and eat secretly, and get angry when she wants to get angry.

"Aunt Feng has the ability to be a housekeeper. You can learn from her. Others, it's better not to learn."

Such things as playing with power and lending usury, these things must never be learned.

"Forget it." Qin Keqing nodded lightly, after spending a long time socializing in the West Mansion, she was obviously a little tired at the moment.

Jia Rong said: "It's getting late, why don't you rest earlier?"

For some reason, Qin Keqing blushed immediately, ordered Baozhu and Ruizhu to wait in the outer room, and said, "Take it easy today."

"Ok?"

Qin Keqing lowered her head, hesitated and said for a long time: "I have to rush to the Qin Mansion tomorrow morning, today...today...you should take it easy."

Looking at Qin's blushing face and her whole shy appearance, Jia Rong still didn't understand.I couldn't laugh or cry for a while, who said that rest is the rest.

Obviously I was worried that you were sleepy and tired, and you thought I was a big pervert?Besides, he is lustful, and he was gentle yesterday, so he has to think about the bodies of the two of them.
