Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 57 Qin Ye and Son
  Jia Rong did not stop and personally escorted Jia Jing back to the mountain.

This time, Ning's mansion arranged a sedan, carrying large and small bags, all of which were Jia Rong's "filial piety" gifts.

Among them, gold, silver, lead, mercury and Ganoderma lucidum account for the majority. It was to show filial piety to Jia Jing and allow him to refine elixirs more quickly so that he could complete his merits and ascend to immortality as soon as possible.

Jia Jing saw it and praised Jia Rong for his filial piety.

Jia Rong smiled very happily.

******
  Return to Xuan Zhen Guan.

Seeing the boy from Ning Mansion carrying big and small boxes one by one into the Xuanzhenguan warehouse, every Taoist priest smiled brightly.

Xuanzhen Temple is supported by the Ningguo Mansion. Every Taoist priest can share the benefits of the filial piety of the "Golden Mountains and Silver Seas" every year. He is well-fed and fat, and lives a life of fine clothing and food, which is no worse than that of wealthy businessmen and gentry.

Among them, Jia Rong can only guess how many are "dirty".

However, in order for Jia Jing, the dear prince, to have perfect merit and merit, he can be ranked among the immortals. No matter how much gold and silver he spent, Jia Rong was always willing to do so.

Who makes him a good grandson?
  This time, Jia Rong specially prepared a gift for General Man. He also asked the prison and the capital to take good care of General Man. I mentioned that today I happened to meet a barbarian general fighting a tiger and taught him the "Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu".

In fact, Jia Jing knew about this when he came down the mountain, and even praised General Man.

It's just that Jia Jing is a carefree shopkeeper, and the power of Xuanzhen Temple is in the hands of the Prison Court and the "Three Capitals, Five Lords and Eighteen Heads".

This kind of private matter still has to be reported to the prison, so that the Taoist priests of Xuanzhen Temple can treat the barbarian general "normally" and not "deduct the reward".

Asking General Man to remember his kindness would be of great use in the future. Jia Rong thought clearly about it.

  When I came back from Xuanzhen Temple, it was already getting late.

Although it is the summer in June, the sky is overcast and snowflakes are falling, so it gets dark very quickly. When the lanterns are turned on, the "night scene" of Shenjing City begins to flourish.

Tonight is Niu Junjie's treat at Taihe Building.

It was originally when Jia Rong stood up and showed off her power, but because Jia Zhen was ill, she had no choice but to write a post and have it delivered.

In Taihe Building, Niu Junjie was livid, preparing to greet Jia Rong. But unexpectedly, I received a message and learned that Jia Zhen was seriously ill and Jia Rong could not come. I was relieved immediately, but on the surface, I was nervously concerned about Jia Zhen's condition and said I would visit tomorrow.

It’s not just Niu Junjie.

Most of the brothers and gentlemen who came to Taihe Building for the meeting knew about this, and they were all surprised. He also learned that it had snowed heavily last night, and Jia Zhen had been hit by the cold wind, so they all shook their heads and sighed.

"The wind was so strong last night, I'm afraid Daddy Jane will do something bad this time."

I don’t know how many men and brothers were talking to each other and shaking their heads.

Some people also secretly thought that if Jia Zhen died, wouldn't that mean that Jia Rong was going to seize the title of Ningguo Mansion? With his character and ability, if he takes over the power of Ningguo Mansion, it will mean that he will officially enter the official career.

What will happen in the future? What kind of political landscape will it be?
  At this moment, many careerists were talking to each other, their eyes twinkling.

******
  The next morning, Jia Rong went to wake up Jia Zhenyou as usual. After greeting the two of them, they came to Xiangnan Hall to take charge of the affairs. Not long after, letters of greeting arrived one after another, and people from many noble families came to visit Jia Zhen and sent them gift lists.

Jia Rong recorded everything in his account and sent him off to entertain the visiting brothers and gentlemen.

No matter who he was, he took good care of him and didn't let anyone find fault.

Not only the nobles, but also the "disciples and old officials" and "old relatives" of Ning Rongjia's mansion all sent people or gave them a gift.

At this moment, Jia Rong is receiving two special guests-Qin Ye and his son.

That's right, Qin Ye, a doctor in the Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Industry, brought his son Qin Zhong to visit Jia Zhen. He looked at the in-laws, said a few words of comfort and gave him a gift.

"Don't worry, Lao Taishan, the wedding will be held as normal."

In the Xiangnan Hall, Jia Rong served Qin Ye tea and said some calming words. As soon as he said this, Qin Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good."

In addition to visiting Jia Zhen, he came here for a tentative reason, that is, he was afraid that Jia Zhen was seriously ill and would affect the normal wedding date of Jia Rong and Qin Keqing.

Or, if Ning Mansion pulls some tricks and tries to "make things happy", that would be a bad thing.

Jia Rong and Qin Mansion have already had a tea ceremony and agreed to visit on June 14th. According to the wedding procedure, Qin Keqing is already Jia Rong's fiancée, half of the "Ning Mansion" granddaughter-in-law.

If the Ning Mansion really wanted to "joy the occasion" and hold the wedding in advance, the Qin Mansion really couldn't refuse.

But the problem is:

The auspicious day of June 14th has been chosen, and it’s just a matter of time. There are only a few days left. If there is a wedding because Jia Zhen is seriously ill, all the ceremonies will have to be frugal and not as joyful as if they were held normally.

It's so aggrieved and embarrassing.

Therefore, after Qin Ye heard the news, he took his son Qin Zhong to the office to "find out the news."

And the results are gratifying.

Jia Zhen's face was flushed and she looked a little abnormal. It was said that she had taken a 'elixir'. But it should last for a while until Jia Rong gets married normally.

and……

If Jia Zhen gets old, wouldn't Brother Rong be the head of Ningguo Mansion? Not only do you have to inherit Spyker, but you also have the power. Even Keqing can transform from a grandson's daughter-in-law into the head of the Ningguo Mansion.

Except for the mother-in-law who was filling in the house, there was no one to take advantage of.

So even though his old relative was dying, Qin Ye was very happy, with relief in his eyes and his appreciation and respect for Jia Rong.

"I heard someone say that Rong Geer shot swans at the palace of Dongping County and won the first prize. He also composed several good poems in the Taiping Tower, which attracted countless oirans to praise him. Everyone in the Yamen said that you are both civilized and military. Woolen cloth."

Qin Ye stroked his beard and smiled.

Jia Rong was ashamed and couldn't help but look embarrassed.

In front of my father-in-law, it is always inappropriate to talk about going to a brothel.

"Old Taishan, please forgive me, my son-in-law is Meng Lang."

Jia Rong handed over his hand.

"Hey, for a family like yours, it's okay to go to a brothel a few times now and then. You just have to be restrained and don't indulge in pleasure. After all, it's a place where souls are eroded, and how many heroes and heroes have been seduced by brothels and their families have been ruined."

Qin Ye shook his head and admonished: "If others don't say anything, they will say it to you, sir. If I hadn't been hanging out with the oiran in Taiping Tower and sweating all over my body, how could I have been exposed to the cold wind and contracted the cold? My wives and concubines have to do their duty. , where are those foxy tricks in the attic.

“As the saying goes: Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom.

"Brother Rong, after seeing what happened to Mr. You, in the future, if you can, try not to go to that kind of place."

Jia Rong listened and nodded repeatedly, "What Lao Taishan taught me is that my son-in-law will never go back."

Qin Ye then stroked his beard and smiled.

As for Qin Zhong, he showed deep admiration for his brother-in-law after hearing that Jia Rong won the first prize by shooting swans at the garden party and went to a brothel to write some good poems, which caused courtesans to rush to praise him.

He was young and already full of expectations for the outside world. And Qin Ye and Qin Keqing controlled him very strictly. After listening to Jia Rong's story, I suddenly had a deeper impression of Jia Rong.

"My brother-in-law seems to be a great person." Qin Zhong's eyes lit up and he thought to himself.
