The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 36 Pampering
Both Ningrong and Rongfus have prepared banquets to entertain their clan members.

After Ning Gong, he stayed in the East Mansion to have a drink. After Rong Gong, after paying homage to his ancestors, he went directly to the West Mansion next door.

Because of the feud between Jia Dai and Jia Mu, the two groups of people spontaneously lined up, and they were clearly separated, and it seemed that they would never interact with each other until death!
It's really ridiculous. The people above haven't expressed their opinions, but the people below are directly moving to the stage, eager to make decisions and humiliate their loyal servants to death.

The person who got it wrong is in a very difficult position!
Originally, Jia Zheng also wanted to go home. He is not used to socializing and entertaining. He only likes to read and talk loudly with his guests.

However, Jia Jing left the city overnight and rushed back to Xuanzhen Temple, refusing to stay.

Jia She was selfish and self-interested. He was still brooding about the past and did not even attend the banquet prepared by the Rongguo Mansion.

He went back to his Dongkua courtyard, hugged his little wife and drank to himself.

There are many people in a big family, and when they live together, it is inevitable to be dirty. Which family doesn't have a broken arm and hide it in their sleeves so that outsiders don't know?
Jia Zheng secretly thought, if he ignores this and returns to Rongguo Mansion, what will outsiders think of the Jia family?
Could it be that the two houses really broke up and stopped communicating with each other forever?

Absolutely not!
Not to mention that the eldest girl entered the palace to serve the Supreme Emperor, and the Dongfu had to contribute. Even when her father and uncle were in Japan, because of their different political views, the two houses offended many people!

If they learned that the Jia family was in internal strife and parted ways, wouldn't their enemies applaud and pounce on them one after another, shouting to kill them?

Will the Jia family still be intact at that time?
Jia Zheng thought he was able to deal with major issues of right and wrong, so he stayed in Dongfu and sent two brothers, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, back home to entertain and appease the clan members and prevent further trouble.

Entering the inner courtyard, Jia's mother was nowhere to be found. Jia Zheng suddenly looked like an ant on a hot pot.

He thought to himself: How could the old lady be so confused, why should she care about a child?
Is there anything that we can't sit down and discuss in a lively manner without having to get out of hand and make outsiders laugh?

"master?"

After three rounds of wine and five dishes of food, when the wine was in full swing, Jia Mu sent Yuanyang to the front hall to find Jia Dai to come in and talk. She had something to explain.

The mandarin duck got the order and walked meanderingly before crossing the hanging flower arch. Facing the faint moonlight, she saw a vague figure swaying in front of her, which startled her and made her little heart pound, as if it was about to jump out.

After waiting for a long time, Yuanyang thought to himself: Who is so bold and dares to come to the back of the Duke's mansion and run wild, if he doesn't want to live?
Besides, the arch was heavily guarded in front and back, and there were four strong women guarding it both inside and outside, so it was expected to be fine.

Yuanyang covered his heart with one hand, held a lantern in the other hand to look at the road, and cautiously touched it!

Seeing clearly who was coming, it was Jia Zheng who had been searching for Jia Mu everywhere. He wanted to check in the inner courtyard of the East Mansion, but was blocked by the strong woman and couldn't move forward or retreat!
Yuanyang asked tentatively.

The figure trembled, pretending to be calm, turned around and saw clearly that it was the mandarin duck in the old lady's room, with a calm face, he said:
"Yuanyang, is the old lady in there?"

Yuanyang nodded subconsciously.

Jia Zheng said yes and walked away as if nothing had happened, leaving Yuanyang alone with a lantern disheveled in the cold wind, not knowing why.

This sudden shock really frightened Yuanyang, who was still a little girl. After a long time, she calmed down, remembered Jia Mu's instructions, and hurriedly went to the front hall in the dark to find Jia Dai. Ever since Jia Baoyu was brought to her, after several months of getting along with her, Jia's mother has fallen deeply in love with this noisy little grandson.

Faintly on him, she could see the figure of Jia Daishan when he was young. Part of her deep longing for her late husband was transferred to Jia Baoyu.

Accompanied by the innocent Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother was no longer gray and white and became more alive when she was a widow in the deep house compound.

Gradually, I doted on Jia Baoyu!
For example, the day before yesterday, Jia Baoyu was deceived by Caixia and went to the Buddhist hall to meet Mrs. Wang, who was thinking about something.

Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to bewitch him with the affection between mother and son, and annoyed Jia Baoyu to beg Jia Mu to let her out.

Jia Baoyu's plea, Jia's mother did not hesitate, and immediately agreed, sending the amber in the room, and Mrs. Wang was released from imprisonment that same day.

After causing a catastrophe of genocide, Mrs. Wang's punishment was just to order her to eat fast and chant Buddha's name in the Buddhist hall for a month. Compared with Jia She, how unfair is it?
Jia Mu's love for Jia Baoyu can be seen from this!
Yesterday, on a whim, Jia Baoyu heard someone tell him about the past and present life of psychic Baoyu, and he shouted that he should go to Qingxu Temple to fulfill his wish!
This summer, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, and there was no harvest. Many hungry people, not knowing who heard the noise, went east along the official road to Shenjing to seek survival.

Now, both inside and outside Shenjing are crowded with emaciated victims, and gangsters appear from time to time, killing people and stealing goods.

The Wucheng Military and Horse Division, together with Shuntian Prefecture, sent out troops many times to clear out and surrender, but it remains the same. Recently, at the end of the year, it has become more and more rampant.

Even on the most prosperous Chang'an Street, it happens from time to time. Rich people are in danger, and everyone is in danger. It's best not to go out these days, if possible!

In a word, Shenjing City is not at peace!
However, Jia Baoyu was stubborn and accepted death. No matter how much he was willing to obey, he still kept crying. This made Jia's mother, who was nearly sixty years old, troubled all day and night. She couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, and had a lot of white hair on her bun. Got several.

Unable to stop Jia Baoyu from making a fuss, Jia's mother had no choice but to agree. It was difficult to find someone to escort her.

At this time, Lai Da happened to come in and ask about the rituals, and came up with an idea, saying: "The current Uncle Dai of Dongfu is the commander-in-chief of the commander's camp, with thousands of soldiers and horses under his command."

"Why don't you invite him to go with you? If the thieves look at the officers and soldiers, they won't dare to get close. Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"

Who taught Jia Dai to insult his nephew Zhou Youcai? He dismissed his duties and rushed to Guining Village in a remote area.
They were forced to stand in the cold weather and were not allowed to rest. They were so weak that they fell to the ground, almost losing half of their lives.

He is Jia Mu's companion, and has been in Rongguo Mansion for more than forty-three years. Who would not respect and support him?

He was partial to Jia Dai and didn't know what was good or bad. He dared to offend the Lai family and didn't give him a look. Those who didn't know better thought that the Lai family had fallen into ruin!
If you don't avenge yourself, you are not a gentleman! After finally getting this opportunity, how could Lai Da not repay it?
When Jia Mu heard this, she agreed. When she planned to worship her ancestors tomorrow, she told Jia Dai about it. Jia Baoyu and her friend Qin Zhong were happily waiting for the first day of the new year to go to Qingxu Temple to fulfill their wishes and pray for blessings!
It's just that what happened today made her very embarrassed. How dare you disobey her and ask your concubine to get involved and come before her? How can you tolerate it? Who can't tolerate it?
After the ancestor worship, Jia Mu wanted to return to Rongguo Mansion, but she couldn't lead a group of females, and she had to look at Xing's face, which was very boring.

However, he couldn't bear Jia Baoyu's innocent request, so he had to bite the bullet and stay. While making excuses with Aunt Xing, he sent Yuanyang to the front yard to look for Jia Dai, hoping that he would not be ignorant of good and evil!

Therefore, Jia's mother stayed in Dongfu to eat, not because she knew the general situation like Jia Zheng and took care of the face of the big family, but because of her precious grandson!
