Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 146
  Jia Mu nodded and said, "To be honest with you, the six princes' mansions also came to your door for this matter. I didn't agree. It's not that I'm stingy and like to eat alone.

Just because there is someone from Chen Guojiu in this business, how dare I make the decision without permission? It's better to wait for Brother Cong to come back and discuss it with him. I don't understand business matters, so I won't worry about it. "

Everyone was helpless and turned to look at Jia She. The old lady can't be the master, but you, the father, can always be the master of your son?

"Brother Enhou, this matter needs more help from my brother." Shi Ding cupped his hands and said.

A trace of resentment and resentment flashed in Jia She's eyes, and he sighed: "Brother, now Jia Cong is lawless, rebellious and unfilial, and I can't control him. I thought this business is of great importance, how can I let a little boy do this? , so I took a few stewards down to the winery in the village to inspect it. Unexpectedly, Minzhuang, the owner of the village, stopped me halfway.

I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Jia Cong gave them. No one in Yandao Rongguo Mansion recognized him but Jia Cong. I, the eldest son of the Rong Mansion, was actually blocked by a descendant of my own soldiers. To be honest, it really brought shame to my family and made my family friends laugh. "

The Shi brothers and Mrs. Wang both looked shocked. The old lady used Chen Guojiu as a shield, so they were not surprised.

But Jia She can't control his son and can't even enter his own village, which makes them a little unbelievable. Brother Cong is only 14 this year? Isn't this going to be earth-shaking? If a king wants his ministers to die, they must die; if a father wants his son to die, his son must die. Is it just empty talk?
  Mother Jia frowned when she heard this, her eyes became sharper, and she stared at Jia She. If these words were spread, Brother Cong's reputation would be ruined! Did the boss take the wrong medicine today?

Brother Cong is no longer a promising young man in the family. He has won the favor of the Holy Father at a young age. Now he has a reputation of being unfilial. How will he behave in the future? What good will it do to the Jia family to destroy Brother Cong? What good will it do to you, the great old man? You don't even understand that family scandals shouldn't be publicized, this bastard!
  Just as he was about to open his mouth to say a few words, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the door. His brows furrowed even more tightly, and he felt weak in his heart. If this bastard didn't come back sooner or later, why would he come back now?

"My lord, what you said is wrong!" Jia Cong stepped in the door with a serious face. He did not say hello to anyone else, but stared at Jia She and said, "It's just that the secret of wine making is hidden in the village. If it is leaked even slightly, Jinshan The silver sea suddenly disappeared. Who will bear the thunderous wrath of the uncle Guo? Will the great master go?"

"You?! The treacherous son! How could I reveal my own secrets?" Jia She was furious. In front of his family friends, he was mercilessly contradicted by Brother Cong. How could he, a great man, have any face?

Jia Cong said: "Of course Cong doesn't dare to doubt the eldest master, but the eldest master's stewards and servants will not leak it?"

"They are all old people from my family, how can I not trust them?"

"Oh, Mr. Chen. Everyone, if I pay 10,000 silver to buy a secret from the Shi family, the Wang family, and the Xue family, can you buy it?"

Jia Cong turned his head and glanced. Now he is not afraid. You are begging me, why do I need to be polite?

Shi Nai and Shi Ding were a little dissatisfied with Jia Cong's aggressiveness, and frowned: "Brother, this is a bit big. Although the servants in our family are incompetent, they still know the word "loyalty" and only have ten thousand pieces of silver, so they will not betray their master. Home."

"That's good. How about I offer you one hundred thousand silver?" Jia Cong sneered, "Can your two cousins ​​and uncles guarantee that the servants in the family can withstand the temptation of one hundred thousand silver? If so, please call them out. Cong Dao Open your eyes to the kind of people who treat money like dirt.”

Everyone immediately fell silent. No matter what family the child was born in, no one dared to guarantee it when faced with the temptation of one hundred thousand silver.

"That's it. I can't afford it for a mere hundred thousand silver. How much is the method of making wine in Shenxian Winery worth?" Jia Cong said calmly.

Shi Ding and others came back to their senses and hurriedly said: "Of course it is a priceless treasure. Unexpectedly, I am so cautious at such a young age. This is right. How can such a valuable treasure be revealed to others so easily? No matter how strict you are in protecting it, , and it is reasonable.”

Jia She was so angry that he vomited blood, and it was his own fault. He sneered, "Is it possible that all those people in Zhuangzi are so tight-lipped?"

"Of course I don't dare to say this, so now Zhuangzi has long been closed. People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. Even if he wants to leak the secret, he doesn't have the chance." Jia Cong said calmly.

Jia She had nothing to say and sat down slowly. The overwhelming hatred in his eyes made Wang Xifeng feel a little chilled. This was not looking at his own son, but clearly looking at a thief with a blood feud. Jia Lian, Daiyu and others had already met Jia Mu and others, and took Liu Shuang and others into the back hall.

Shi Nai saw that Jia Cong was really unruly, even Jia She regarded him as nothing, and his brother Jia Lian did not dare to say anything in front of him, let alone his cousins.

He hurriedly said with a flattering smile: "Brother Cong, since the king of Jia Shi, Xue Tongqi Lianzhi, now that you have grown so much, you may bring the Shi family and the Wang family with you. We don't ask for much, you If you eat meat, we can just drink the soup."

Mrs. Wang’s wife also smiled in agreement.

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth to hold back a smile. This was still the way elders talked to juniors. Only Brother Cong, who had no relatives, could calm these people down.

Jia Cong said calmly: "My cousin is serious. Today I am really tired from traveling and traveling, and this matter still needs to be discussed with uncle Chen Guo. In two days, I will invite two cousins ​​and talk to my uncle and his wife at the house. How about it?" ?
  "Okay, okay, you just came back from Yangzhou. You are really tired, so we won't disturb you. You have a good rest." The Shi brothers and Mrs. Wang said in succession, and said goodbye to the old lady and others, and rushed away happily. Yes, according to brother Cong, there is a lot of discussion on this matter.

Jia Mu hurriedly ordered Jia She, Jia Zheng and the two wives to send them out. Seeing Aunt Xue and Xue Pan following them, she turned to look at Jia Cong who looked unhappy and scolded: "You monkey, why did you just come back?" You and I will not be able to get off the stage in front of the guests."

Jia Cong laughed, found a chair and sat down, took the tea brought by the girl, took a sip, and said: "Old lady, do you listen to what the elder said? Logically speaking, he is already a eldest man, why? You don't know what to say? You are so ignorant and do not know the importance of things.

Could it be that ruining Cong's reputation would do him any good? What are the benefits to your home? Fortunately, the Shi family and the Wang family now have requests from me, so they are not afraid. "

Wang Xifeng burst out laughing and said: "Brother Cong, you are getting more and more courageous. You dare to teach the elder a lesson in front of the old lady. If word spreads, isn't this disobedience and unfilial?"

At this time, Li Wan and a group of sisters came out of the back hall and greeted Jia Cong.

Jia Cong glanced at Baochai and saw that her expression was as usual, showing no sign of great sorrow or suffering. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Sister Bao, Sister-in-law Feng has not read the book and doesn't know the reason. You have read the books of sages and sages. Sage But what should I do if my parents made a mistake?"

Baochai rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to pay attention to him, but she couldn't help but said: "The Master said: Parents give advice when it comes to matters. If you don't follow your will, you should respect it and not disobey it. Work hard without complaining."

"What do you mean?" Sister Feng was confused, looked at Jia Cong, and asked angrily.

Jia Cong laughed. He didn't understand either, but he said confidently: "You don't understand this, Sister Bao, tell her."

Everyone laughed, Brother Cong was too shameless, he clearly didn't understand himself and still lectured others.

Baochai had no choice but to explain: "It means that when you see your parents making mistakes, you should advise them. If your parents don't listen, you should continue to advise them respectfully and don't avoid them. Although you are sad in your heart, you should not be resentful."

"Look, I acted according to the sage's wishes. Did I persuade him? Did I persuade him? Did I resent him? No. Whoever dares to say that I am wrong means that the sage is wrong." Jia Cong said proudly.

"Bah, you don't have any respect at all. You are still complaining about the old man in front of the old lady. He really deserves a beating." Wang Xifeng scolded with a smile.
