Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 91 Picking Wei

During this voyage, Jia Rong traveled for 42 days. From the Mid-Autumn Festival on August th to the end of September. The memorial boat that Jia Rong was riding on had just arrived at Stone City.

Along the way, with the escort of water boats, it turned out to be safe and sound, and there were no more water bandits.

Jia Rongan studied and practiced martial arts steadily, and also tried military training methods. Gradually, more than fifty young men from Ningguo Mansion were united into a rope, and they developed a somewhat "soldier look".

When training soldiers, you must first make the soldiers obedient.

Jia Rong is the master of Ningguo Mansion, and the servant of Ningguo Mansion is his slave. Following Jia Rong's orders is a survival habit forced by the environment. But it cannot inspire their autonomy and enthusiasm.

Therefore, Jia Rong needs to "win people's hearts."

Distributing pensions, visiting to express condolences, buying corpses for burial, and setting out running water mats as rewards are all for this purpose.

"Thank you for the reward, sir, and die for me!"

Jia Rong kept his word. On the day he left Jinmen Pier, he held a banquet on the deck and invited the sailors of the high-rise ship and the servants of Ning Guofu to eat on the flowing water table.

Before the banquet started, Jia Rong walked up to each of the sailors and servants of Ningguo Mansion, took out a five-tael silver ingot and stuffed it into their palms.

This is another "reward" issued by Jia Rong.

It had not been mentioned before, but now Jia Rong suddenly distributed it, which soon made the sailors of the building ship and the boy of Ning Guofu excited, and they couldn't help but cheer and scream.

Sun Rui, in particular, was even more clever. After Jia Rong distributed the reward to him, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Thank you for the reward, uncle, and die for the uncle!" to express his loyalty excitedly.

Jia Rong was very satisfied, patted his shoulder happily, and praised him a few more times.

When others saw this scene, they all followed suit. Every time it was their turn, they would grin and shout at the top of their lungs to express their loyalty.

Doctor Xia looked even more strange.

"Uncle Rong, where did you get these methods?"

However, he had to admit that this trick was really useful. Even he was rewarded with a higher level of 10 taels of silver by Jia Rong. I couldn't help but be secretly excited. I felt that Jia Rong had beautiful features and a much taller figure.

"It's a pity that Uncle Rong spent money to hire cavalry soldiers to protect us. Otherwise, if we encounter a few more water bandits on the road, we can still make a fortune."

After getting 5 taels of silver, I had a hearty meal on the flowing water mat. All the sailors on the high-rise ships and the boys in Ningguo Mansion were all in high morale, and they seemed to be "happy to hear the battle".

"Come on, if we weren't guarded by cannon soldiers, would we be so safe? Maybe a few people would have died. Although the pension is large, it's better to be alive."

Without the external danger of water bandits, Jia Rong did not make it easy for the servants of Ningguo Mansion. He organized the fifty people into five teams, with ten people in each team. He appointed Jiao Da as the captain and selected Sun Rui and four Yongwu. Those who were brave and loyal were made team captains and continued to practice on the deck.

If you take my money and eat my food, you will have to work for me, and you will not be able to live well.

A total of 3000 taels of silver were spent. If the young man in Ningguo Mansion was not trained to a good level, Jia Rong would not be able to eat.

Jia Rong wrote a "training outline" and asked five team captains including Jiao Da and Sun Rui to implement it in detail, focusing on the "discipline" of the servants in Ningguo Mansion.

Stand as you should stand, sit as you sit, eat in a proper manner, and sleep in an orderly manner. Jia Rong's series of "orders" made the servants of Ning Mansion complain endlessly, but they did not dare to resist. There is nothing you can do, anyone with eyes can see it. Jia Rong wants to "train troops", "ruly the family" with military laws at home, and restore the "old etiquette" of his ancestors.

I can only grit my teeth and persist.

Anyone who takes Jia Rong's money, eats Jia Rong's rewards, or complains about pantothenic acid will be "sitting" in the entire team. Other teams eat meat, but their team eats vegetarian food. After a set of "combination punches", no one dared to resist. He could only be trained obediently by Jiao Da, who beat and scolded him.

Thorny head? Jia Rong likes it the most. He has many ways to treat thorns.

For more than a month, the boy in Ningguo Mansion spent like this in "hell military training".

Within ten days, the young man in Ningguo Mansion had developed discipline. He stood like a pine tree and sat like a bell, and his whole mental outlook was completely new. Military Doctor Xia was dumbfounded, and secretly marveled at Jia Rong's military training methods.

After 42 days.

There are five teams of Ningguo Mansion boys, and their military appearance gradually becomes neat and solemn. When people look up at them, they will be shocked from the bottom of their hearts. I'm not sure whether it can be beaten, but it looks different, and it has an "elite" aura.

"Very good, very energetic!"

Jia Rong personally participated in the training. As a chief officer, he watched the boys in Ningguo Mansion change little by little every day, "transforming" into white swans like an ugly duckling. The satisfaction and sense of accomplishment I feel in my heart are simply indescribable.

This is the joy of cultivating a line!

It was far more interesting than him playing "hide and seek" with Mei Xiang and Cai Wei in the brocade tent.

Yes.

During the 42-day voyage, Jia Rong was unbearably lonely and could not help but eat meat. It's natural to be with Meixiang, but it's an added "different kind of interest" to be with Caiwei.

Jia Qiang is dead, and Caiwei is his eldest girl. Although she has lost her master, she cannot keep her in vain. Jia Rong asked Caiwei to come over, enter his room, and follow Mei Xiang to learn how to serve him.

Don't tell me, it's quite exciting.

Just remembering that "Caiwei" is Jia Qiang's eldest girl, and that Jia Qiang and Jia Zhen are lying side by side in the bottom warehouse, Jia Rong's blood boils and she can't help but be excited. Especially when Caiwei was wearing "filial piety clothes", she was even more elegant. Every night, Jia Rong and Caiwei would play "hide and seek" behind closed doors.

Caiwei adapted quickly.

The girls living in the house have experienced wind, frost, and swords since childhood, and none of them are good. Now that Jia Qiang is dead, Caiwei has lost her biggest supporter. If you want to survive in Ningguo Mansion, climbing up the big tree called Jia Rong is the best way.

She is Jia Qiang's eldest girl. She has stood out from others since she was a child, so she understands this. So her mentality changed quickly. After crying for Jia Qiang for a while, she fell into Jia Rong's "embrace" and began to compete for favor.

Caiwei's identity is very special.

She is Jia Qiang's eldest girl, and she is not from the same "yard" as Mei Xiang, Chuntao and others. Like an "outsider". Wanting to survive with Jia Rong is much more difficult than the original environment.

What's more, she is not perfect yet, and is still a step behind Mei Xiang and others.

Fortunately, my brother is "stubborn". He just fell in love with her status as "the eldest girl in Jia Qiang Courtyard". After only getting along with Jia Rong for a while, Caiwei figured out Jia Rong's "unique hobbies" and deliberately flattered him.

Wearing mourning clothes every day, she looks pitiful and will cry for Jia Qiang for a while. When Jia Rong wants her, he will also resist symbolically, with a face full of "reluctance", which stimulates Jia Rong's "desire to conquer."

Sure enough, the effect is obvious.

In the boudoir, in just a few days, Jia Rong obviously liked her more than Mei Xiang. In Jia Rong's room, he gained a certain "political status".

Caiwei thought clearly.

Now is the best time. We have been on the boat all this way, and she and Mei Xiang are the only two who stand out. It just so happens that the uncle likes to play that kind of "game". This is her biggest advantage! As long as you hold on to Jia Rong firmly and get Jia Rong's love, as an aunt in the future, you will have endless glory and wealth in Ningguo Mansion. Maybe it will be even better than in Jia Qiang's room.

"Slutty fox!" Mei Xiang cursed secretly.

She watched with helpless eyes as Caiwei climbed onto her "head" step by step.

The original "sisterly relationship" with Caiwei has now fallen apart and become "like fire and water". Seeing Caiwei deliberately pretending to be a coward to seduce Jia Rong's Huo'er every day, she became very angry.

She naturally knew the reason for Caiwei's "big change in temperament." I also watched helplessly as a gentle and elegant girl slowly turned into a disgusting "vixen".

It just so happens that my father likes her "romantic energy". He is not stubborn enough all day long, and even she is obviously "indifferent", which makes Mei Xiang very uncomfortable.

"Obviously I came first!"

Mei Xiang gritted her teeth and secretly resented it, feeling that it was difficult to be this personal girl.

Originally, we had to watch out for Chuntao and Huamei, then we had to watch out for "Ruizhu" and "Baozhu", and now we have "Caiwei".

"As my aunt, do you still have hope..." Mei Xiang looked melancholy, and couldn't help but feel a trace of misery. She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.

Oh, it’s so difficult!
