King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 350 The brothers’ petitions

"Why so panic?"

When You came closer, Jia Mu said this sentence with a straight face.

"Ancestor, something big has happened!" You knelt down in front of Jia Mu's knees.

Looking down at Youshi, Jia Mu asked, "What's the big deal?"

"The Thirteenth Master in the palace sent guards to take our master away!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Mu lost her composure. She immediately grabbed Youshi's shoulders and asked angrily, "What trouble did you get into again?"

"We don't know what happened, but the guards broke into the mansion suddenly and took the master away arbitrarily!"

Youshi raised his head anxiously: "Ancestor, you must think of a way to rescue our master!"

While You was crying, Baoyu happened to come into the house to say hello. Seeing this, he asked the maid in a low voice about the situation.

After learning about what happened, Baoyu walked into the house and said angrily: "This Thirteenth Master is too domineering. He sent people to break into private houses. Doesn't he have the law in his eyes?"

Originally, he planned to ask about the situation in detail, but when he heard Baoyu come out and talk nonsense, Jia Mu immediately glared at him.

"Baoyu, don't talk nonsense!" Jia Mu scolded.

"Ancestor..."

"Shut up, go out immediately and call your father and uncle!"

This is to send Baoyu away, lest he say something taboo again.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Jia Mu scolded: "Hurry up and go!"

"Yes!"

After Baoyu left, Jia Mu began to inquire in detail, but Youshi didn't know anything about it.

Immediately afterwards, Jia's mother called Jia Lian, Jia Rong, and Jia Zhen's personal entourage in Ningguo Mansion. After questioning them one by one, she had no clue.

It's also because Jia Zhen was too secretive, his followers only knew that he had seen Qin Zhong, and they would never connect this with today's events.

In the room, the entire Jia family was sitting around, and no one spoke, making the atmosphere extremely solemn.

At this moment, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but say: "Old ancestor, that Thirteenth Master is arrogant and domineering. I think this time he is clearly looking for trouble. Brother Zhen has suffered an unreasonable disaster!"

The quieter the scene was, the harsher Baoyu's words seemed, and everyone was stunned by his words.

Jia Lian disliked him the most and immediately scolded him: "Baoyu, don't talk nonsense!"

"Bastard, who told you to talk nonsense, don't get out!"

This time, Baoyu summoned up the courage to argue: "Father, now that my sister is the crown princess, why should we be so afraid of the Thirteenth Master!"

If in the past, when Jia Zheng was furious, Baoyu would not have the courage to reply, which shows that he has also grown up recently.

It's a pity that his growth is very minimal. He neither knows how to assess the situation nor understands the importance of respecting the elders and younger ones in the family.

Being contradicted by his son in public, Jia Zheng was so angry that he opened his eyes and yelled: "You bastard, how dare you disobey me!"

Seeing that his father was already furious, Baoyu was also afraid of getting slapped in the face, so he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "My child made a mistake, I hope my father will calm down!"

"Get out!"

At this time, Jia Zheng only felt that this boy was an eyesore, so he wanted him to disappear quickly.

"Yes!"

After Baoyu retreated, everyone in the Jia family continued to discuss, and finally they came up with a solution.

They couldn't handle this matter well, so they could only use Yuanchun's face to persuade the prince to help mediate the matter.

To ask Yuanchun for help, someone has to enter the palace. Today, Jia Zheng will enter the palace to participate in today's sacrifice to the mountains and rivers.

"Hurry up and go to the palace, time is running out!" Jia She reminded.

There is still nearly half an hour before the prince sets off, and time is already very tight.

Fortunately, Ningrong State Mansion is not too far from the imperial city, if you take a sedan chair, you can get there in less than half an hour, and if you move faster, you should be able to send a message to Yuanchun.

As for Zhu Jinghong, while he was waiting for Jia Zhen, his two good brothers came to the door.Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jinghao have been focusing on pleasing Zhu Jinghong in recent days, so that the latter can play with them.

There is no way, the prince's life is already boring. No passionate young man can stand sitting in the Wenhua Palace every day.

"The two sisters are here too!" Zhu Jingchun greeted enthusiastically.

This is called looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. The two princes will naturally respect the woman Zhu Jinghong values.

"I've met the Fourteenth Master and the Fifteenth Master!"

Seeing Baochai and two people saluting, the fifteenth-year-old Zhu Jinghao said quickly: "You two sisters, you don't need to be polite!"

"What are you doing?"

Hearing Zhu Jinghong's inquiry, the fourteenth elder Zhu Jingchun stepped forward with a smile and replied: "Thirteenth brother, today we are going to sacrifice the mountains and rivers of Sheji, please take us there too!"

They have not yet been granted the title of Kaifu, so naturally they are not qualified to participate. Zhu Jinghong made an exception because he was the legitimate prince.

Picking up the tea cup, Zhu Jinghong took a sip and then asked: "Aren't you good students? You should be focusing on your studies. Why are you always thinking about going out?"

The fifteenth-year-old Zhu Jinghao stepped forward and replied, "Brother Thirteen, don't you want to go out and see the world?"

"is it?"

Zhu Jingchun followed and said, "Of course it is. Besides you, Brother Thirteen, who else can take us to play!"

The two of them were talking to each other, and they responded and cooperated tacitly. It was obvious that they were well prepared.

Putting down the tea cup, Zhu Jinghong avoided showing a faint smile and said, "There are risks in taking you to play. How will you repay me?"

"This……"

Two sharp-tongued people couldn't answer this question.

They don't lack all Zhu Jinghong they have, and they really have nothing to repay Zhu Jinghong.

"Look...it was just a joke, but it actually scared you two!"

Zhu Jinghong's attitude was unpredictable, making Yang Jingting on the side feel that he was strange. This was the first time she had seen Zhu Jinghong in action.

Baochai, who was the guest, was not surprised by this. She had learned Zhu Jinghong's methods a long time ago.

"Brother Thirteen, we..."

Before Zhu Jingchun could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Jinghong.

"It's just that I ran into trouble today. Let's talk about the palace some other time!"

It's no trouble if it can be solved, so Zhu Jingchun asked: "Brother Thirteen, what's the trouble? We might be able to help?"

Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Someone bullies me to talk easily and puts my face on the ground. How can you help me?"

These words shocked both Xue and Yang, and they both lamented that Zhu Jinghong was so thick-skinned that he could even speak frankly about his "easy talk".

"Brother Thirteen, tell me who it is, and we'll help you beat him up!" Zhu Jinghao was the first to speak.

He was just saying it for fun, because he had already determined that this person was not at the scene, so it was not their turn to beat him up, so of course he could say whatever sounded good to him.

"That's right, Brother Thirteen, just say who it is, and we two will help you vent your anger!" Zhu Jingchun followed suit.

At this moment, the two of them puffed up their chests, as if they were willing to do something for their elder brother.

However, at this moment, Zhang Pingan came quickly and reported after entering the palace: "To report to the Thirteenth Master, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion has been brought here and is waiting outside the courtyard gate!"

"Yeah", Zhu Jinghong looked at his two younger brothers, with a smile on his lips, and asked: "The person who bullied me is outside. Didn't you say you want to help me beat him? I have whips and sticks in my yard." !”

Zhu Jingchun and his two men were stunned for a moment. They didn't know they were really going to beat him up.

Seeing the hesitation of these two people, Zhu Jinghong stood up and sighed: "Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back!"

These words were like a heavy hammer, awakening the courage of Zhu Jingchun and the others, making them instantly firm.

"Brother Thirteen, I'm going to get the whip!"

"I'll get the stick..."
