The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 43

"It's still because of the previous incident. I heard that a royal censor impeached the Duke of Rongguo. If I am really guilty, no matter how the emperor punishes me, I should deserve my share. I only have my mother at home. After hearing about it, this I haven't been able to sleep or eat well for two days. The old lady is also an elderly person. If she makes a sudden mistake, isn't it... isn't it my fault! "

"So it's because of this!" Xia Jin frowned, "It's not impossible to do this. It's just that asking for connections is not a matter of a few cents of silver!"

"How much money, Mr. Xia, please don't save it for us. The old lady's health is a big deal!"

"Well, three thousand silver, I'm going to try this. Whether it works or not, the higher-ups have to say something!" Xia Jin pointed to the top of his head.

Jia She understood, but he was also overjoyed and said hurriedly, "This is easy to say, easy to say. For the sake of your disciple, Master Xia must help and fulfill his duty. Someday, Master Xia will be free. I Father and son are going to prepare a banquet and invite Mr. Xia to drink three glasses of wine!"

Jia She was afraid that Xia Jin would turn around and regret it, so he called the boy in and asked him to pay a banknote of 3000 taels of silver and handed it to Xia Jin with both hands.

Xia Jin took it over and took a look. Seeing that it was a bank note from Wantong Bank, there must be nothing wrong with it, so he folded it up and put it in his sleeve, and stood up to leave.

Jia She saw him off personally. When Xia Jin got into the car, Jia Cong was about to turn around. Xia Jin waved for Jia Cong to come up, "Cong'er, come here, I have something to tell you!"

After practicing stances, boxing, and archery all afternoon, Jia Cong's whole body was sore, but he still climbed into the carriage and said, "Master!"

Xia Jin took out the three banknotes from his sleeve and handed them to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment and wanted to draw a card to Xia Jin. Xia Jin held his hand and shook his head, "Go down!"

"Master!" Jia Cong knew that if Xia Jin got these three silver notes, he would say a word for the Duke of Rongguo no matter what.

Although he was certain that nothing would happen to Duke Rong's mansion, Xia Jin might not know.

"Go ahead and let the maids rub your arms and legs. If the pain is severe, apply the medicinal wine that the master gave you. You will be fine after ten days and a half. Since you have embarked on this road , we must endure the hardships we deserve, and we must not suffer any less.”

"Yes!"

Jia Cong got off the carriage and stood in the snow, watching the carriage slowly go away. A little head poked out of the window and looked towards him. He raised his sore arm and waved it gently. .

Jia Cong waited until the carriage left the street and turned right. When it was out of sight, he turned around and came in.

In his arms, he held the 3000 taels of silver notes that Xia Jin had just stuffed into him. This was not a small amount. After he and Xia Jin had discussed the double act, he originally planned to have Xia Jin give him at most 200 taels to buy a good horse. The excess should be regarded as the cost of learning from a master.

"Naughty son..." Jia She came over to meet him, Jia Cong walked towards him without blinking an eye, "Where is the monthly payment for my aunt and I? Ask my wife to send it to you quickly. If not... I will tell the master tomorrow !”

After saying these words, Jia Cong left without looking back.

Walking into the small courtyard, Qingwen stood under the eaves and looked over. When she saw Jia Cong, she waved happily, "Third Master is back. Third Master, why do you look like this? What are you doing?"

Qingwen pulled him and turned him around. She saw traces of dirt on his body and a few wet patches on his trouser legs. She hurriedly said, "Second Master, please come in quickly. I'll go get the water for Third Master to take a bath!" "

Jia Cong first went to Aunt Zhong's room. She was sitting on the bed drinking medicine. When she saw her son coming in, she drank the medicine in two gulps and pulled Jia Cong to look around, "Where did you go? How did you come back? Are your shoes wet?" "

"No, my son is very well. How is my aunt today? Do you feel better?" "Much better. It's not so hard to cough!" Aunt Zhong pushed her son, "You go take a shower first and change clothes. Come again. Have you eaten?"

"I just came back from Master's house after using it. After dinner, he sent me to the door."

Aunt Zhong felt relieved and watched her son go out. A long-lost smile appeared on her slightly fatter face.

"Third Master is much better now than before. I heard that this master whom Third Master worshiped is some kind of commander. He is a very powerful person. Even the old master is scared when he sees him. With him supporting Third Master, Third Master will only know how to do it in the future. It's getting better and better!" Huaping said about the rumors he had heard and stood by the bed folding clothes.

Here, Qingwen and Sheyue rushed for water. The huge bathtub was placed behind the screen. The two maids were standing next to the bathtub. Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "I don't need anyone." Help me bathe, I can do it myself."

"How can that be done? Can the third master wash himself cleanly? How do you rub your back? Besides, this is also a rule. How can there be any reason to let the third master wash himself?" Qingwen couldn't help but said, and came up to strip Jia Cong's clothes. .

Jia Cong hurriedly wanted to cover it up, but felt that it was embarrassing. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he asked, "Is this how you serve Mr. Bao?"

"We are the maids of the old lady, and we are not assigned to the second master Bao's room. However, second master Bao has Qianxue, Keren and the others in front of him. They all serve in this way."

When it came time to take off her underwear, Jia Cong pushed the two maids away. She was just a teenage girl after all, "I'll do it myself. You two can do whatever you need to do. It's not like I don't have any skills."

Qingwen and Sheyue looked at each other, glanced at Jia Cong's uncomfortable face, pursed their lips, smiled, turned around and went out.

Jia Cong came out after washing, and Qingwen was making the bed. Following her movements, the water snake twisted its waist. Jia Cong stood and looked at it for a while. She turned to look at Jia Cong's face, "Third Master, you are not ashamed just now." Alright?"

"I'm afraid that you will be ashamed. Aren't you afraid of being ashamed?"

"Hmph, what's something I haven't seen before? What's so surprising about it?"

"Whose one have you seen? Baoyu's?"

"No, I'm not waiting in Mr. Bao's room. Could it be that I haven't seen it? I don't know what it is like?" Qingwen raised her little face and greeted Jia Cong with a small handkerchief. Come.

Jia Cong grabbed her wrist and prevented the handkerchief from being thrown on his face, "Okay, then you will take a bath for me tomorrow, and you and She Yue will spend the day alone."

She Yue opened the curtain and came in, "Third Master, Mrs. Xia, the wife's companion, is here. She said that she was sending monthly money to the Third Master and my aunt on the orders of the wife. She also said that she had selected a few people to give to the third master and my aunt. Let’s take care of things in the house.”

Qingwen quickly helped Jia Cong put on his clothes, and two beautiful maids followed Jia Cong to the main room.

A woman who was over forty years old and had a sinister face was standing proudly inside the door. Under the eaves of the corridor outside, there were four or five people standing in front of each other. A few maids were whispering to each other. When they saw Jia Cong coming, Still pointing and pointing.

Jia Cong walked over, sat down in the room, took a sip of tea, and then looked up at Mrs. Xia.

This person is Mrs. Xing's confidant. She was also given two close-ups in "A Dream of Red Mansions". She is a character who appears much more than Jia Cong. The most highlighted one is when she instigated Aunt Zhao to cause chaos in Yihongyuan.

　The first!
