Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 31 Jia Cong was scolded
  Rongqingtang

It was bleak.

The servants, government officials, patrolmen and others who were sent out to search for it came like a snowflake of news. There was no one in the North City, no one in the East City, no one in the West City, no one in the South City... They searched everywhere in Shenjing, except for officials, nobles, clans and other nobles. They searched everything except the mansion, but no one was found.

Marquis Anren and Admiral Wu Lang of the Nine Sects were already big-headed, but now they looked even bigger when they saw Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others wiping away their tears.

"Old lady, two madams, don't worry. I have sent all my men to search inside and outside the city. I believe there will be a reply soon. And I heard that the third young master of your residence, Mr. Cong, is the person who was enlightened by the spirit of the late Duke Rong. , His martial arts skills are already extraordinary at a young age, and he is smart, what could happen?" Wu Lang comforted him.

"I am ashamed to accept the good words of Lord Marquis." Jia Zheng said with cupped hands.

Jia She stood aside without saying a word, and even felt a little happy in his heart. This evil obstacle was taken away by Hua Zi, which could be regarded as getting rid of a harm to the family.

Li Wan, Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, Yingchun sisters and others in the back hall were already crying like tears, but they didn't dare to speak out for fear of disturbing the conversation in front of them, so they covered their mouths tightly.

Baochai thought that the last time she saw Jia Cong, she didn't give him a good look and didn't save any food. She felt even more regretful in her heart, like a knife being twisted, which made her breathless.

Lin Daiyu was originally a thoughtful and worried person. Although she had no friendship with Jia Cong and Jia Huan, she could not help but shed tears when she thought of the poems written by Jia Cong, secretly sighing that God was jealous of talented people.

Not to mention Ying, Tan and others, they were blood brothers after all, and now they are suddenly gone, how can they not be heartbroken. Especially Tanchun, when he thought that it was because he had given money to Jia Huan to buy things that this happened, he felt even more guilty and regretful, and wished he could take his own life.

Jia Baoyu was either trying to persuade him or not. He was watching his sisters crying and spinning like headless flies. He suddenly thought that if he was slapped away by Hanako, his sisters would also shed so many tears for him. , this life is not in vain. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become crazy.

"Report...report!" The young man rushed straight into Rongqing Hall regardless of etiquette, his face full of excitement.

"Old lady, gentlemen and madams, Third Master Cong and Third Master Huan are back!"

Everyone stood up in a panic, "Where is he?!"

Before he finished speaking, Jia Cong came in with Jia Huan and kowtowed to Jia Mu.

"Greetings to the old lady, let the old lady, the master and the ladies worry about it."

"You evildoer! You're going to piss me off to death. You've been wandering around all day and you can't get home. Why are you talking about what's going on today!" Jia Mu said angrily, while Wang Xifeng hurriedly helped her sit down.

"Old lady, be careful not to get too anxious. It'll be fine when you get back."

Jia Cong told what happened today, slightly modifying the details, only covering up the origin of the Mongolian sweat medicine and the matter about Yang Siniang.

"Brother Cong is indeed a heroic young man. He deserves all the hard work of the Duke Rong, so good!" Wu Lang said with a smile. Hearing that the young master of the Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion had also been found, he completely relaxed and finally settled the matter. event.

Jia Zheng was busy making introductions on his behalf.

Jia Cong bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Uncle Shi, for taking the trouble. We two brothers are deeply grateful."

"It's easy to talk about. My nephew is young but calm in the face of danger, smart and courageous, brave and resourceful, which is really commendable. If you want to make a career in the army in the future, you can come to our infantry commander's yamen, and I will definitely do a good job for you." Wu Lang smiled.

Jia Cong was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Shishu, for your attention. In two years, Cong will learn martial arts. If Shishu doesn't give up, you can do whatever he wants." This is a way to become an official. Let's take it first.

Wu Lang laughed, patted Jia Cong on the shoulder, said goodbye to Jia's mother and left.

Jia She gave Jia Cong a cold look and left without saying a word.

Jia Zheng praised Jia Cong, scolded Jia Huan, and went out.

The sisters in the back hall hurriedly came out and saw that the two of them had returned safely. Jia Cong was also appreciated by Wu Lang, and they were all happy for a moment.

Although Jia Baoyu looked down upon Jia Cong's enthusiasm for fame and wealth, he did not dare to say strange things at this time.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Cong and her sisters laughing and joking, but she felt a little uncomfortable. If she had known that Brother Cong had this ability, there would be no need for a name card. This bastard would only cause trouble for me.

He shook his head and sighed: "Brother Cong, you are lucky this time, my ancestors will bless you. You are not young anymore, you should know how to measure. Things are extremely dangerous today. What if there is something good? Is that okay? You are an elder brother, Brother Huan is so young, how can you bear to have him gone like this? Do you understand why a rich man cannot sit down in court? "

Jia Cong was silent and did not defend himself. He just bowed and said: "Cong will strictly follow the old lady's teachings and will definitely take good care of Brother Huan in the future and will never let him be kidnapped again."

"Well, go ahead." Jia Mu waved her hand tiredly.

Suddenly a servant came to report, "To the old lady and the two wives, Manager Zhang of the Zhenguo Palace has just come personally to leave a message and invite Third Master Cong and Third Master Huan to come over for a banquet tomorrow."

Mother Jia took a look at the post and said, "What did you say?"

"Manager Zhang said that the old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion and the ladies should personally thank Mr. Cong for rescuing Mr. Niu."

Mother Jia smiled slightly, and she was happy that Jia Cong had earned her face, "We have been family friends for several lifetimes, so this little thing is of no importance. Mrs. Zhenguo is too polite. Anyway, since I have invited you, we will go tomorrow. Come on. Brother Feng, please tidy up the two of them and don’t lose your etiquette."

"Hey, don't worry, old lady, I promise to make them look like the number one scholar." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

Jia Mu waved her hand and went to rest. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing hurriedly followed her to serve.    Suddenly the atmosphere in the hall relaxed.

"Brother Cong, please tell me how you escaped?" Tan Chun asked Jia Cong with a curious look on his face.

Jia Cong laughed, glanced at Xue Baochai, and said, "Didn't I just say that? What are you asking again?"

"Bah, what you just said is not entirely true. Are you trying to fool a ghost? There must be something hidden." Jia Baoyu said.

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "I testify that there is indeed a secret. It depends on whether you want to know or not."

This bastard made Jia Cong's face darken.

Xue Baochai smiled slightly, poured a few gold and silver coins from his purse and stuffed them into Jia Huan's hand, saying, "Brother Huan, tell me quickly."

"Don't say it! Just watch carefully." Jia Cong glared at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan hid behind Baochai and others with a whoosh, and stuck his head out: "Sisters, I dare not say that Brother Cong wants to deal with me."

All the girls blocked Jia Huan and said to Jia Cong: "Brother Cong, you are not allowed to bully Brother Huan, or we will sue the old lady."

Jia Cong could only smile bitterly and raise his hands in surrender, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, I'm going back."

Seeing Jia Cong leaving, Jia Huan explained a series of Jia Cong's operations.

"Then is Yang Siniang really that beautiful?" Jia Baoyu asked.

"That's natural. Although she is not as good-looking as Sister Bao or Sister Lin, she is better looking than the Second Sister, the Third Sister, and the Fourth Sister." Jia Huan said carelessly, playing with the mace in her hand.

Tanchun and others were so angry that they pinched Jia Huan hard and ate everything inside and out.

"I didn't expect that there was such a person in the wilderness. I really want to make friends with him." Jia Baoyu sighed, longing for him.

Jia Huan sneered and said: "You can kill her with just one sword, and you still make friends with her. Brother Cong also spent a lot of effort to subdue her."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "That girl really has good martial arts skills?"

"That's natural. If it weren't for the medicinal wine, Brother Cong would be in some danger." Jia Huan talked casually, feeling very proud that so many sisters gathered around him to ask him for advice, which was unprecedented.

"You said Brother Cong rode back with Yang Siniang, and Brother Cong let her go?" Lin Daiyu looked at Xue Baochai with a smile and asked.

Baochai couldn't understand her eyes, so he rolled his eyes at her and ignored her.

"Yes, Third Brother Cong held her hostage all the way back, and he released her only after going to court. After all, we are also noble children, and we can't keep our word. That woman didn't know what is good or bad, and even scolded Third Brother. "Jia Huan said proudly.

"What did she scold?" Xue Baochai couldn't help but ask.

"She...she scolded..." Jia Huan secretly thought, "It's not good. If I tell him, Brother Cong will definitely blame me."

Seeing him hesitating, everyone became curious and urged him.

"Why do you care so much about these trivial things? I forgot, it's too late tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow." Jia Huan stood up and wanted to run away, but suddenly heard a cold voice behind him, and his heart trembled.

"Huan'er! Stop, if you don't tell me clearly, I have a good son of yours." Who else but Tanchun, she was the only one who could calm Jia Huan.

"I won't tell you, Mr. Huan is also a loyal person." Jia Huan retreated into the chair dejectedly, holding his head in his hands, as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

Everyone laughed angrily.

Tanchun poked him hard on the forehead.

Baochai smiled and pulled her, waved her hand, then took out her purse and poured all the gold and silver coins on the coffee table.

"Brother Huan, how can you say that Mr. Li Shu has no reason to say half of what he said? Besides, you have already said more than half of it, and you are not short of these two sentences. This is the tea money given to you by the sisters, please tell me quickly."

Jia Huan struggled to move his eyes away from the coffee table. Then he thought that what Sister Bao said made sense. After all, Brother Cong was so brave, so he was still afraid of them? Right, that is it.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan chuckled, wiped the gold and silver thorns into his arms, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. I heard Yang Siniang calling Brother Cong 'dirty' and 'sexy', hehe, don't say it's me." That's what I said." After saying that, he ran away.

Everyone laughed.

Wan, Ying, Tan and others all spat with red faces, obviously guessing something.

Lin Daiyu chuckled and went to look at Baochai, meaning: As expected, I knew Brother Cong was this kind of person.

Baochai's face turned red and he glared at her, "Naughty ghost, what are you looking at me for?" Watch carefully. Thinking of the last time Jia Cong pulled his hand, I couldn't help scolding Jia Cong a few more times in my heart. Brother Cong is really a bad boy. Whenever he sees someone who likes his eyebrows, his hands and feet will not behave properly!
