The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 12 Stupid Husband and Foolish Woman
Jia Zheng studied the classics of saints since childhood and studied in the Imperial College. He originally planned to be like Uncle Jing of Dongfu, get a title on the gold medal list, and become an official in the scientific examination.

However, a few months ago, when Jia Daishan's inscription was published, Emperor Taikang not only agreed to Jia She's accession to the title, but also rewarded him with the title of chief minister of the sixth rank.

He was about to go to work for Qin Ye, a doctor in the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Industry.

It can be said that in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng paid the most attention to Confucian etiquette and reputation.

Jia Zheng personally agreed to use Jia Zhu's wedding to celebrate Jia Daishan. This is also a common way for wealthy people to show their filial piety.

Therefore, by sabotaging Jia She's innuendo, he was unfilial to Jia Daishan. Jia Zheng was angry in his heart, and his fair face immediately turned red.
But he didn't dare to do anything to Jia She. He only dared to direct all his temper at Caiyun, the culprit, and shouted sternly:

"You bastard, what kind of place is this? How can a slave like you come here?"

"On weekdays, I don't care about family affairs, but I'm even more indulgent of you being so bold!"

"Where's Zhou Rui? Why don't you take it out? It's embarrassing!"

With that said, Zhou Rui quickly called a few boys to come forward and took something unknown, regardless of whether it was dirty or smelly, and stuffed it into Caiyun's mouth.

A large group of gentlemen, in front of all the dignitaries in Shenjing, dragged Caiyun Sheng, who was hesitant to speak, down, not afraid of being laughed at and insulting his elegance!

At this time, seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Jia Zhen quickly came out to smooth things over and persuaded:

"Haha...it's okay!"

"Brother Zhu and his younger siblings have bowed three times and the ceremony is complete!"

Speaking of this, Jia Zhen winked at Jia She secretly, pulled Jia Zheng to say something nice: "Uncle Zheng, there are many guests outside!"

"For my nephew's sake, let's expose it today!"

Jia Zhen is young, and the way she tries to smooth things over in front of her elders is very funny. At this time, the two Jia She brothers don't care about jokes, they just want to smooth things over decently.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Jia She snorted coldly, flicked his long sleeves, and went to greet his relatives and friends in the hall.

What happened just now made Jia Zheng very embarrassed, but he was also clumsy and unsociable. If he stayed here any longer, he would be even more embarrassed.

Therefore, Jia Zheng hated Mrs. Wang half to death in his heart, but he still greeted people with a smile. He toasted a few glasses of water and wine with a few old friends, and then went to Mengpo Zhai with a gloomy look to find his sweetheart Qing. The guest has gone away to talk.

But Mrs. Wang, after Jia Daishan confirmed that she had passed away, she made arrangements for the funeral, then found a secluded place, opened Jia Dai's secret letter and took a look, her face immediately turned pale, and she was scared to death in her heart.

He clutched his heart and waited for a long time. He looked around and saw that no one was following him. He relaxed and put away the secret letter.

With a solemn expression on her face, she walked back and forth under the apricot tree, thinking about getting her family out of a major rebellion, and at the same time thinking about getting the maximum benefit for her second wife from this matter.

"Second Grandma..."

Caixia came out of Jiamu's courtyard, passed through the alley, and turned a corner. She wanted to go to the garden to get some air, so as not to go back to Lixiang Courtyard and see Mrs. Wang's stinky face.

Unexpectedly, when she crossed the rockery, she saw Mrs. Wang wearing a gold hairpin and colorful clothes. Her heart skipped a beat and she was about to sneak away.

However, she was still caught by Mrs. Wang who suddenly turned around.

Caixia panicked and stammered her greetings.

Hearing the noise behind her, Mrs. Wang immediately calmed down. When she saw it was Caixia, she immediately thought about it and thought to herself: Second brother is here as a guest. He was a Jinshi and was a high official in the court. He is a knowledgeable person. There is a second brother. Help me to check the details, Rongxi Hall, they have settled in the second room.

So, Mrs. Wang said with a straight face:

"Damn girl, where are you? I've been looking for you for a long time, but I haven't seen you anywhere!"

"Second Grandma, I..." Caixia was so scared that she couldn't speak.

Mrs. Wang looked impatient, waved her hands and said: "Okay, don't make excuses, I don't have the time to listen to your fabrication."

"I'm busy with things in the house today. For your sake, I won't argue with you for the time being."

"Go to the front yard to find my uncle and say..."
