Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 29 Jia Rong
  Jia Qiang came to the reception room and saw the guests.

"Brother Rong!" he called after a slight hesitation.

"Brother Qiang!" The guest was Jia Rong from Ningguo Mansion. When Jia Rong saw Jia Qiang, he stood up and shouted in surprise.

When they were in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Qiang and Jia Rong had a good relationship. They went to school together, and when someone bullied Jia Qiang in private school, Jia Rong would stand up for him.

"It's my brother's fault for making Brother Rong wait too long!" Jia Qiang's mind was busy with her predecessor's attitude, and she saluted Jia Rong.

"I came in a hurry and didn't say hello in advance!" Jia Rong shook his head and said. He then looked Jia Qiang up and down and said, "We haven't seen each other for several months. Brother Qiang is already related to my brother!"

"It's not my fault, sit down quickly!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

Jade brought new tea, Jia Rong's eyes followed Jade's figure, which made Jia Qiang a little unhappy.

"Brother Qiang, do you know what kind of life I lived after you left the house?" Jia Rong complained to Jia Qiang after Feicui left.

He pulled open his sleeves with a miserable look on his face, revealing the scars on his arms.

When Jia Qiang saw it, he couldn't help but let out a breath of cold air. Even though he knew that Jia Zhen was cruel by nature, he never thought of being so cruel to his own son.

There is almost no good spot on Jia Rong's arm. There are long strips of black and purple, and some are irregular large areas of black and purple. At a glance, you can tell that these are left by various methods.

This is still the arm, thinking that Jia Rong may have more injuries.

"Uncle Zhen is so cruel?" Jia Qiang murmured.

"He beat me before, but this time he seems to be crazy. He beats me to death every time. I dare not say anything in the house. There is no one to talk to, and I am going crazy!" Jia Rong shed tears as she spoke.

Since Jia Qiang left Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen had been recovering from her injuries for a month. After recovering from her injuries, she discovered her incompetence.

Jia Zhen's temper was originally violent, but now it has become even worse.

When he saw Jia Rong, he thought of Jia Rong's perfection and his own imperfections. Every time he compared it, he couldn't help but vent his anger on Jia Rong.

Jia Rong was unlucky and was beaten all over his body every time.

He couldn't avoid Jia Zhen, because every morning he had to go to Jia Zhen's place to say hello. As a son, this was what he had to do.

Therefore, the time when he greets everyone every day is the saddest time for him.

In addition to saying hello, he tried his best to leave the house in order to avoid being missed and beaten by Jia Zhen.

But the problem is that when Jia Zhen knew that Jia Rong had left the house, she thought about whether Jia Rong was having fun outside. I am like this, but your son is still having fun, and the result is that the beating becomes even more fierce.

"I'm very envious of your current life!" Jia Rong looked at the guest room and said with a flash of envy in his eyes.

Although this second courtyard is far less prosperous than Ningguo Mansion, it belongs to Jia Qiang alone.

When he came to visit Jia Qiang, he heard Lao Shuntou call Jia Qiang "Master" and there were two beautiful maids. For Jia Rong, this place was ten thousand times better than the dangerous place of Ningguo Mansion.

"What are Brother Rong's plans?" Jia Qiang didn't know the purpose of his coming here this time, whether he just wanted to find someone to talk to or if he had other ideas.

"I came here this time just to ask Brother Qiang to find a way for my brother. If this continues, I might be beaten to death one day!" Jia Rong said with a pleading tone.

The reason why he thought of begging Jia Qiang was because Jia Qiang not only injured Jia Zhen, but also successfully escaped from Ningguo Mansion.

Because no one in the know dares to tell the details of Jia Qiang's departure from Ningguo Mansion, and he does not know the specific reasons.

In addition, he found out that Jia Qiang became a scholar after leaving Ningguo Mansion and entered the Imperial College. This gave him more expectations for Jia Qiang, and maybe Jia Qiang could come up with a solution.

It's funny to say that Ning and Rong have the best resources, but since Jia Jing's generation, there are no seeds of study.

The only one who could show his strength was Jia Zhu. Although he was a scholar at the age of fourteen, he was not able to enter the Imperial Academy.

Of course, if Jia Zhu really wanted to enter the Imperial College, the Jia family could apply for imperial favor and send him to the Imperial College.

But Jia Zhu's body was weak, and the Jia family did not dare to send her to the Imperial Academy, so they could only raise her in the palace.

Jia Rong grew up with Jia Qiang, his younger brother who was a scholar and entered the Imperial Academy even though he was younger than Jia Zhu. When he encountered an unsolvable problem, he naturally thought of Jia Qiang.

"When a king tells his ministers to die, he dares not to die; when a father tells his son to die, he dares not to die. Your situation is not the same as mine at that time!" Jia Qiang couldn't help but shake her head and said. What good idea could he have? He had to risk his life to get the chance to leave Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Rong's situation is completely different. He is Jia Zhen's biological son. Let alone leaving, even if he dares to resist, he will be charged with disobedience.

"Am I just waiting to die?" Tears filled Jia Rong's eyes again. He seemed to see a more miserable life in the future.

"I heard that the imperial court has strict rules regarding titles, and those with disabilities are not allowed to ascend titles!" Jia Qiang reminded, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

When Jia Rong heard this, his eyes flashed.

Although Jia Zhen has been hiding it, how could she hide some signs from her biological son who lives at home.

Originally, Jia Zhen loved women and played with her two concubines every day. However, since she was injured, the two concubines were sent to a small courtyard in the outskirts of the mansion and were never hired again.

Jia Zhen has never left the house to have fun in the land of fireworks. Jia Rong has also heard some whispers from the servants, and he also guessed something.

Although Jia Rong didn't know whether having a useless lower body was considered a physical disability, but with this direction, he had some unusual thoughts about Jia Zhen.

Things that he had never thought of before were now coming to his mind.

"If Jia Zhen is really disabled, or..." He thought about the excitement and his face flushed.

When the title is passed on to him, he becomes the head of the family. When he has the power in his hands, Jia Zhen will no longer be able to hit herself.

"Brother Qiang, it's already late. I'm going back home first. See you later!" With his goal in mind, he regained his energy and stood up to say goodbye.

Jia Qiang sent him out of the house and looked at his leaving figure. She couldn't help but think of his expression just now, thinking that Ningguo Mansion might not be peaceful anymore, or that it had never been peaceful.

On the way back home, Jia Rong kept thinking about ideas.

Without exception, they all wanted to make Jia Zhen disabled. He said that he wanted to take Jia Zhen's life. He did not think of it subjectively. As for whether he subconsciously wanted Jia Zhen's life, it was hard to say.

This matter cannot be told to outsiders, even if it is Jia Qiang, he will not mention it. This matter can only be carried out by him.

In the following days, except for greetings and beatings every morning, Jia Rong no longer left Ningguo Mansion, but observed Jia Zhen's daily life.

His vitality is also tenacious, and he has never been beaten to death despite constant beatings.

Jia Qiang dropped a stone at Ningguo Mansion. Whether it caused a slight ripple or a tsunami was up to Jia Rong.

In the blink of an eye, it was early August. On this day, Jia Qiang got out of bed under the guidance of Jade. When he saw Jade, he seemed to have something to say.

"Jade, what's the matter?" Jia Qiang asked Jade with a smile.

After spending these days together, Jade has become the most important person around him.

It was also rare for him to see Jade asking for something, and he was always ready to try his best to satisfy Jade no matter what request he made.

"Master, the third day of August is my ancestor's sixtieth birthday, do you think?" Jade replied softly.

Only then did Jia Qiang realize that the third day of August was Jia Mu's birthday. Since he had left Jia's house, he didn't need to care about Jia Mu's birthday.

But Jia Mu was kind to him. She not only gave him jade and helped him escape from Ningguo Mansion, but also took out Qingfeng Tower as a gift for the scholar who passed the exam.

In terms of affection and etiquette, he must express his feelings on Jia Mu's birthday.

"Thank you Jade for reminding me, I almost forgot!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

He was even more satisfied with Jade. Jade reminded him not for himself, but for his sake.

"This gift still needs the master's decision!" Feicui said with a smile when Jia Qiang listened to her reminder.

She has been with Jia Mu for several years, and she is also grateful to Jia Mu. She has not seen Jia Mu for a long time, and it is just a good time to see Jia Mu during her birthday.

"I don't know what to do with the birthday gift, so just give it five hundred taels!" Jia Qiang thought about it and decided.
