The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 182 Daiyu: Why are you still not happy?
Jia Cong stood up to greet Jia Cong, and took advantage of the situation to leave Jia Mu's Arhat bed. He took two steps forward and stood briefly. Jia Zheng came out and was very happy to see Jia Cong, "Brother Cong is here? Just now." What can you say that makes you so happy?"

"Second Master!" Jia Cong shouted, but he didn't know what he was talking about. He didn't know where Jia Zheng knew it. They were so happy to talk about it. I'm afraid that not only Mrs. Wang, but now he is targeting Baoyu, Even Jia Mu regretted inviting him and his wife over for dinner.

"Just now I was discussing with the second wife about the upbringing of several sisters and the second brother Bao. The conversation was a bit heated. Cong spoke so quickly that he was afraid of offending the second wife!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Jia Cong with a pair of eyes full of resentment. She was indeed a bitch raised by a small family, and her method of complaining was no different from that of a vixen.

This is what Jia Zheng is most concerned about. After meeting Jia's mother, he took Jia Cong to sit down together and said with great interest, "What do you mean? Brother Cong, do you have any ideas?"

In Jia Zheng's eyes, Jia Cong is the unicorn son of his Jia family. Now he is a holy family member. Not only did he fight in the army at a young age, he was victorious in every battle, but he also had the reputation of being a scholar. The head of the Jiangning Mansion was Wen Tao Wu. Jia Zheng could only be grateful that he could care so much about Baoyu, even though he was a stranger.

"Cong got the second wife's permission to take the second sister and the third sister to Dongfu. If the old lady wanted to have a happy marriage, she would always call them over. In fact, the sisters are getting older now, and the second brother Bao is also Living in the same place for a long time, there are many inconveniences that I don't talk about, for fear of bad rumors outside, this is why the second brother Bao and his sisters have a bad reputation, this is just a little bit of Cong's superficial knowledge."

Since the old lady denied his aristocratic family's rules for raising children, he had no choice but to promote the matter from another angle, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Baoyu is a busy man with nothing to do. If he targets Yingtan Erchun and encourages Jiamu to take them over, he will not leave the capital. For his sake, Jiamu will let the two sisters live in Dongfu for a few days. , as soon as he leaves Beijing, he may take over immediately.

Could it be that the sisters of his Jia family are all his Baoyu’s dolls?

Mrs. Wang was also shocked. It was clear that she was not talking like this. However, her words were even more ugly. She said that her Baoyu was eating the rouge on the girls' mouths, and now she said that girls would gossip outside if they were kept together with Baoyu. .

Who outside knows about what happened in the backyard of her Rong Mansion, and who can say anything about it?

What a master...at making something out of nothing!

Seeing Jia Zheng's serious expression and looking at Baoyu with a fierce look, she knew that her husband was not happy with Baoyu. If Jia Huan had not become more and more miserable, her husband would have given up on Baoyu and vigorously cultivated his concubine. Mrs. Wang's heart skipped a beat. He didn't bother to compete with Jia Cong and said to Jia Zheng, "Master, Baoyu is still young, and he is raising it in front of the old lady, under Cheng Huan's knees. This is his filial piety. How can it be like what Brother Cong said? I was thinking. , Brother Cong wants her sisters to live there, just go there, there’s no need to say this! "

Jia Cong didn't know. He just sat upright and drank a cup of tea. He was sure that although Jia Zheng had a sharp ear, he never had any opinions. He listened to the words of the woman in the backyard, but when it came to Baoyu, , Jia Zheng deeply resented that he was indulged in playing with his sisters all day long and did not take his career to heart.

Sure enough, Jia Zheng said, "Baoyu is a few months older than Brother Cong, and Brother Cong has already been convicted. Now he doesn't even memorize the four books. He spends all his time learning some exquisite naughty things, and he won't be able to do anything in the future." It’s something that brings shame to our ancestors!”

"That's not necessarily the case!" Jia Cong said.

Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at Jia Cong and said to herself, now do you know how to find something nice to say to the master?

Jia Zheng was also extremely interested and asked quickly, "What did Brother Cong say?"

Could it be that there was something shining in his son that he had not discovered?
"Cong was ordered to take over the three thousand battalions under Wang Jieshuai. He just went to the Beijing camp and had a conversation with Wang Jieshuai..." At this point, Jia Cong raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Wang and saw that she heard his brother, There was already a look of pride on her face, but Xifeng was more sober than her. She stared at Jia Cong with a pair of red and phoenix eyes, waiting for the next words.

"Cong thought, Wang Jieshuai is brother Bao's uncle. Among the children and grandchildren of our Jia family, no one else knows. In the future, brother Bao's future will definitely depend on his uncle. Wang Jieshuai will definitely help Second brother Bao is seeking fame. Why should the second master be concerned?"

Mrs. Wang was stunned, a pair of triangular eyes flashed with resentment, staring at Jia Cong, her mouth opened wide enough to put an egg in it, she still couldn't figure out what was going on with Jia Cong, why was Jia Cong going crazy and targeting her Baoyu everywhere?

But seeing the coldness in Jia Cong's eyes, a glimmer of realization came to Mrs. Wang's heart. Jia Cong deliberately used Baoyu to talk about things, and deliberately made things difficult for her. In the future, he would have reason to go far away from this side. some?
It was the old lady who was to blame for all the strange things. If it weren't for the old lady, who would have wanted him to come over?

Mrs. Wang felt depressed because the matter involved Wang Ziteng. She really couldn't open her mouth, but she thought in her heart that Baoyu's future would not depend on his uncle. Who else could the Jia family count on?
Among the descendants of the Jia family, apart from her jade, which one is perfect?
It's just that Jia Zheng's face turned livid. Instead of seeking self-reliance, the Jia family's descendants looked to their uncle. It's no wonder that Baoyu didn't like studying since he was a child. Maybe it was because of Wang's instigation.

Jia Cong saw it in his eyes and knew that Jia Zheng had taken it into his heart. How could a man like Jia Zheng, who was unwilling to grant the favor of his father and ancestors and only wanted to become an official through the imperial examination, endure his wife and children like this?
"However, I see that in Wang Jieshuai's capital camp, people are making noises and horses neighing every day. I heard that Brother Bao can't even bear the dust. He met me on Ningrong Street this morning and will ask for a doctor when he comes back. In the future, when I enter the capital camp and deal with a bunch of rough guys every day, can Brother Bao endure it?"

When Baoyu heard this, his brows furrowed, and disgust flashed in his eyes. He not only disliked Jingying, he also disliked Jia Cong. Thinking of the dust on Jia Cong's head and face on the first day, and when he met him face to face today, that rising The gray fog in the sky seemed to be covering him now, and Baoyu couldn't help coughing.

Jia Zheng's face turned green with anger. When Mrs. Wang saw this, she was afraid that Jia Zheng would do violence to Baoyu under Jia Cong's instigation, so she hurriedly said to Jia's mother, "Old lady, it's getting late. At this time in the past, the old lady I’m afraid they’ve all taken a break, otherwise, let’s pass on the food!”

Jia Mu understood the meaning of Mrs. Wang's words. Jia Cong came late, which made her wait. She hurriedly said, "Their men are busy outside, and brother Cong is busy with the emperor's errands. Please tell me the time." How can we be sure? We are at home all day long, we have nothing serious to do, we just wait for three meals a day!"

She smiled and said, "Then let's pass the food around. We agreed to treat my concubine as our host, but today I'm going to ask my concubine to follow us to get hungry!"

Just now, Aunt Xue had eaten several pieces of cakes. After hearing this, she laughed and said, "It's been a long night, what else can I do if I go back? I ate late, and I'm still very hungry at night!"

Xifeng took over the words at this moment, "Don't be afraid, aunt. I'll finish eating in a while. From here to Lixiangyuan, I'll be hungry again along the way. I wonder if I can catch another midnight snack when I go back!"

"You monkey, I've eaten everything, and you're making fun of me with what the old lady said!"

Because of Jia Cong's words just now, the Rongqing Hall was separated by an eight-leaf screen, and two tables were opened, one for the women's family and one for the men. Baoyu had no choice but to share a table with Jia Cong and Jia Zheng.At the table, Jia Zheng put aside all his thoughts for the time being and asked Jia Cong about countering the rebellion, "Are you sure about this trip?"

Jia Cong said, "It's too early to say this now. A soldier just knows himself and the enemy and waits for the opportunity to move. On the battlefield, the fighter opportunities are changing rapidly. Cong has not yet left the capital. He only knows a little about what is ahead. A lot of information has not yet been screened, so it is not easy to draw conclusions. !”

When Jia Zheng heard these mature words, he felt relieved and admired him very much. He looked at Baoyu, who was sitting on his right side with his head bowed. There was no trace of joy or smile on his big round face. Even vaguely impatient, Jia Zheng looked at Jia Cong, who was talking eloquently and with a unique temperament. The unhappiness in his heart became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but cursed, "What are you doing with your head down all the time, you ignorant villain? We say Do you have anything to say about these?"

"Huh?" Baoyu was suddenly scolded and was a little confused. He even thought his economic career was in tatters. Let alone the sword fight, it sounded like all he had in his mouth was excrement!
Jia Cong glanced at Baoyu and saw through his mind. He pulled Jia Zheng and said, "Second Master, I'm afraid that Brother Bao is not used to this. In military affairs, talent is the most important thing. I'm afraid that Brother Bao is not familiar with these things." I wasn’t very interested, so I didn’t listen to it.”

Jia Zheng let out a long sigh. Over there, Mrs. Wang listened through a screen. She felt so depressed that she wished she could finish the meal quickly so that she could send these people away and be in peace.

After the meal, Jia Mu stayed with Jia Cong to talk for a while. Jia Cong left on the grounds that it was getting late and he had to go back to make preparations. Jia Mu called Yuanyang, "I'm sending Brother Cong and his wife, and Zhen." Brother, daughter-in-law, and the four girls, you all should go live in the Dong Mansion. When I get bored and panic, I will call you over to serve me."

Yuanyang hurriedly agreed and sent Jia Cong out. She held a lantern and walked beside Jia Cong. She smiled and whispered, "Why is it that Mr. Cong...is coming here so late today?" Want to eat?"

In the lantern, the orange light swayed in front of his feet. The bright moon in the sky shed light like water. The wind blowing from the north was still biting and chilly, and Jia Cong couldn't help but slow down his steps.

Beside him, Daiyu walked side by side. Jia Cong stretched out his hand to hold her slightly cold hand and said with a smile, "Sister Yuanyang, what are you talking about? I didn't mean to do this. I was just chatting with the second wife." I've caught up with the conversation, and the old lady asked Sister Yuanyang to help explain it."

Yuanyang glanced sideways at the young man's long and tall figure. His cloak was raised behind him, revealing that he was holding Daiyu's hand, holding it tightly like a treasure. Their cloaks were mixed together behind them. , the figures overlap.

She couldn't help but flash her eyes and said with a smile, "The old lady has always regarded Third Master Cong as Second Master Bao, and she always said that among the grandchildren, Third Master Cong is the most capable, and Third Master is also the general who leads the army. , turns out to be a straight-forward person, the old lady has always known it!"

Jia Cong smiled but did not answer. He walked out of the Weeping Flower Gate. Seeing the car in front, Jia Cong stopped and said, "Sister Yuanyang, just come here. It's windy outside. You should go back early!"

After getting on the carriage, Jia Cong held Daiyu in his arms and asked softly, "Is it cold? I held your hand just now and it was cold. How are you doing now?"

Daiyu felt that his body was like a furnace, heating up her face. She buried her face in his arms and said happily, "Fortunately, it's not cold anymore. Just now, what Sister Yuanyang said, I I also want to ask, why are you unhappy today? Is it because your errands outside are not going well?"

"Everything goes smoothly! Your Majesty has allocated the three thousand battalions in the capital camp and let me control them. These three thousand battalions may not be able to fight at the moment. However, with the current temper of the army, although the Ningxia Guards have five The six thousand soldiers should only be on the books. It is really difficult to say how many actual troops there are and whether they are even half of them.

In addition, although there has been a lot of friction between the Ningxia Guard and the Tatars in the past few years, there has never been any major friction. I guess they don’t pay much attention to training, and their combat effectiveness is barely adequate. The Feixiong Guard under my command has solid troops. Pay, and a secret weapon. As long as I'm careful enough, this trip should be fine. "

Although it was a matter involving the military, Jia Cong still revealed the truth to Daiyu, so that she wouldn't worry. Why didn't Daiyu understand this? She held Jia Cong's rebellious hand and said, "Then you You still have to be extremely careful. Didn’t you say before that Ningxia is the strategic point in the northwest of the world, hanging alone beyond the river, and is actually the barrier of Shaanxi and the choke point of Shenjing. Moreover, Ningxia is close to the outside of the Great Wall and is a gathering place for Mongolia. If internal and external collusion occurs , what will happen to Brother Cong?"

Jia Cong gently pursed Dai Yu's sweet red lips, a dark tide surged in his peach blossom eyes, and breathed out on Dai Yu's face, turning her pink face to a blushing blush, "There is no one here right now." , why are you calling me like that again?"

"Husband...husband!" Daiyu's breath was unsteady, and she was wrapped in his arms like a puddle of water. Her palms were weakly pressed against Jia Cong's face, feeling very embarrassed, "There was someone outside, and he came back to the house after a while. ...Brother Cong, please stop causing trouble!"

"How did I mess up? Where did I mess up?" Jia Cong said with a malicious smile. After all, he still felt sorry for her little girl. If he really made trouble too much, he took his mouth away from her face and said, "That Ningxia girl The situation on the border should be very tense. What you said is not unreasonable, but what exactly will happen, I have to wait until I go and understand the situation before I can act. The situation in the court is also extremely unstable at the moment. The mutiny in Ningxia is delaying time. If it takes a long time, the imperial court may not be able to afford it, so it must be resolved quickly!"

"But the biggest taboo of military strategists is to be eager to win and avoid impatience!" Daiyu used to observe filial piety with Jia Cong, and she also read many military books with him. She was very smart, and Jia Cong often chatted with her about ancient battles. It will give birth to the regret that Daiyu is not a man.

"I know this, so you don't need to be too anxious. You have to know that I still have a secret weapon!" Jia Cong said in her ear, holding her in his arms like a child, with one hand just supporting her. On top of its roundness, Daiyu was shy and moved uneasily in his arms.

The carriage stopped in front of Dongfuyi Gate. Outside, Youshi and others got off the car one after another. Jia Cong let go of Daiyu and got out first. Then he held her hand and picked her up half-supported and half-hugged. Got the carriage.

There were maids and women in their respective rooms to greet them, and Qingwen came over and said, "Master Hou, someone from the army is waiting in the front yard, saying they have military information to report to Master Hou!"

Jia Cong ordered his maid and mother-in-law to send the three sisters Youshi and Yingchun back to the house. He took Daiyu's hand and said, "I'll take you back to the hospital first!"

"Won't I go back by myself? If you have something to do, go ahead and come back early to rest. You have to get up early tomorrow!" Daiyu said coquettishly. The red glow on her face has not yet faded. Fortunately, under the cover of night, outsiders can't see it. Not real.

"I have to get up early tomorrow. I'm afraid I'll make you uneasy, so why don't I rest in the front yard today to avoid waking you up again in the middle of the night."

Before Jia Cong finished speaking, someone pinched her waist severely. Daiyu turned around, half-lying herself in Jia Cong's arms, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "I also said, Let Zijuan serve you tonight..."

Before she could finish her words, Jia Cong pressed his lips with a finger and said, "No, I will go back to the room later. Zicuckoo, please go back to serve the lady, I'll be busy first!"

Jia Cong took off his cloak, put it on Daiyu, turned around and walked out. Daiyu looked at his back, wondering why she wasn't happy?
Since he didn't want to, why did he act so impatient with her?
