Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 148 Heroic Spirit
  Lin Ruhai wrote in the letter that because Jia Cong had saved his life, assisted in handling the salt affairs, and made great contributions, he loved her very much, so he entrusted Daiyu with him for life, asked the old lady to make the decision, and kept it secret for the time being, so as to avoid the risk of misunderstanding. It is not easy for children to see each other on weekdays.

Ruhai is so confused, how could a good person like Daiyu be entrusted to a bastard like Jia Cong? Jia Mu lamented in her heart, but she had no choice but to force herself to go against her father's wishes and decide on her grandson's daughter's marriage. .

Baoyu looked at Jia Mu, waiting for Jia Mu to support him, but Jia Mu shook her head and sighed: "You all go down, I have a rest. Baoyu, don't make your sister Lin angry in the future." After saying that, she returned to the inner room, where Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and others were busy waiting on her.

What? Baoyu stood there blankly, looking so lost that all the sisters couldn't bear to see him.

Jia Cong said: "Baoyu, Uncle Lin said that from now on, Zhui'er will not be comfortable living in the house, so he will move out of the house immediately. Now, if Zhui'er wants money and people, he will not be bullied by others any more than in the past. Be careful."

"Why should I bully Sister Lin? You're the one who called me "Bi'er"!" Baoyu said angrily, feeling aggrieved and angry, and subconsciously went to pick off Baoyu from the collar.

Everyone was shocked and rushed to persuade him.

"Let him throw it. He dropped the jade today. I just happened to take Zhu Er out of the house immediately so as not to be upset by seeing him all day." Jia Cong sneered.

Baoyu raised his hand in the air, but couldn't fall down. Tears rolled down his face. He looked at Daiyu and said, "Zi'er, do you really want to be separated from me?"

Daiyu frowned and said, "Baoyu speaks carefully. Now that the sisters are all grown up, how can we use the random names we used to call them in the past? And they are all close sisters, so why are we talking about life and death?"

Jia Baoyu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and said angrily: "Sister, you... you didn't say anything about Brother Cong just now, so I just called him random names."

Daiyu said coldly: "Brother Cong is different from others. Baoyu, please respect yourself."

Everyone understood the reason. It was obviously Jia Cong who had taken advantage of her. Originally, Daiyu and Baoyu had a very close relationship, but now that they were caught between them, Daiyu had no choice but to choose her lover unequivocally.

Baochai glared at Jia Cong who was watching the show. After all, it's all your fault.

Jia Cong leaned over and laughed softly: "This is the magic of love."

"Hey, what's going on? I've only been away for a while, and I'm already singing in the hall? Which song are you singing today?" Wang Xifeng arranged for the old lady and came in from the back. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, she hurriedly laughed.

The crowd was silent.

Daiyu said: "Sister-in-law Feng came just in time, and I was just going to talk to you. I am a guest from afar, and I can't live in the house for a long time eating and drinking for free. Although the old lady, my wife, my sisters-in-law, and my sisters don't take it to heart, I still don't care. It was also inappropriate for people to see.

From now on, all the servants' monthly money in my house will be lost, and I will have my own ideas. In addition, the government will be given an additional 300 silver per month for food, drinks and miscellaneous expenses. If it is not enough, Sister-in-law Feng can just say whatever she wants. "The words were spoken crisply and sharply.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The pretty girl seemed to be a different person. She still looked half as soft and weak as before. They couldn't help but look at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong touched his nose and looked at what I was doing. Now Daiyu has hundreds of thousands of taels of pocket money in her pocket. She has also read martial arts novels and learned some heroic spirit from the heroines. Naturally, she is no better than before.

"Hey, Girl Lin, what are you talking about? If the old lady, madam, knew that I had accepted money from you, why would you scold me to death? Besides, I am a close relative of our own flesh and blood, and living at home is a matter of blood. No matter what the money is. , If you say it, people will laugh at our family tradition. No, absolutely not." Sister Feng waved her hands hurriedly.

Daiyu smiled and said: "As for Sister-in-law Feng, she naturally loves me, but as for me, I can't eat, drink and live for free and let the servants laugh. That's it. If Sister-in-law Feng is worried, please say something If the words continue, who dares to tell the old lady or madam.

I am not afraid of my sister-in-law's annoyance. Nowadays, my sister-in-law's stewardship is getting harder and harder. I know that. I don't care about these money. Sister-in-law Feng can use it to reward the servants and save some reward money for the house. .

In addition, when I come back this time, my father has arranged for a few people to serve me. From now on, my affairs outside will be reported to Lin Zhong, and the inside will be handled by Aunt Shuang. She was my mother's dowry girl back then, and both the old lady and my wife know me. "

"Greetings to Grandma Lian Er." Liu Shuang stood up from the corner and blessed Sister Feng.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly helped her up and said, "Ms. Shuang, you have broken me. Don't do it again."

Liu Shuang smiled slightly, nodded, and stepped back.

"Oh, after I returned to Yangzhou, I really changed my mind. I was so talkative that even I was speechless. I will call you Lin Lazi from now on."

Wang Xifeng took Daiyu and looked her up and down, shook her head and smiled. He looked at Jia Cong again and said, "Brother Cong must be the one causing trouble and leading the elegant Lin girl into a bad person."

Everyone laughed, but Daiyu shyly stamped her feet in disbelief. Jia Cong stroked his palms and smiled and said: "This is the red color of a person who is close to Zhu. Now I have a bit of a heroic spirit. It's really not easy."

"Okay, you sisters, stop being stubborn and don't get angry. I'll arrange dinner and give you a break." Wang Xifeng left with a smile.

Baoyu's face was dull and he walked away step by step. The girls were busy helping him go back.

"Brother Cong, will Baoyu be okay?" Tan Chun asked.

"What's going to happen? Just get used to it. If he pretends to be crazy, just tell him that I'm going to take Qi'er out and live in him." Jia Cong said with a smile.

"What if the old lady doesn't allow it?" Xiangyun asked.

Jia Cong glanced at her and had some impression of the girl in his mind. He knew it was Xiangyun and sneered: "Why not? You are a guest, not a servant, let alone a prisoner. Uncle Lin has a house in Beijing. There are ready-made servants, and I want to leave, who dares to force him to stay?" He said with a hint of murderous intention.

Except for Xiangyun, everyone had seen him killing someone in public, and they didn't dare to speak. They secretly sighed that Daiyu was so lucky to have found a lover who protected her so well.

Xiangyun stuck out his tongue and asked again: "Brother Cong, how can you write such good words?"

Jia Cong had no intention of grinding his teeth with her and said with a smile: "Ask Qi'er about this." After saying that, he pulled Baochai aside and muttered.

Xiangyun snorted dissatisfied, took Daiyu's hand and complained: "Sister Lin, you don't care, Brother Cong is becoming more and more arrogant now."

"You rotten little hooves, full of nonsense, what does he have to do with me, and what do I care about him." Daiyu was embarrassed.

"I don't know who just said, 'Brother Cong is different from others.'" Shi Xiangyun raised his orchid fingers and imitated Daiyu's speech.

Everyone laughed.

"You... bastard, let me spare you." Daiyu stamped her feet and chased Xiangyun, causing the sisters to make a fuss.

"Sister Bao, have you seen my letter?" Jia Cong whispered.

Baochai nodded.

"Do you have anything to ask me?" Jia Cong asked, staring at Baochai's big and bright almond eyes.

Baochai pondered for a moment and said sadly: "Master Yanyuan's ancestors were princes, he was born as a Tanhualang, and he is now a high-ranking minister. Since I have promised you a pretty girl, how can I be an equal wife? Even if The girl is willing, but I am just the daughter of an imperial merchant, and I dare not be so frivolous."

Jia Cong whispered: "Sister Bao, you are knowledgeable, talented, elegant, kind and tolerant. You are also worldly and sophisticated, and can manage the family well. You should be the eldest wife of the family. I have already identified you, and no one can change it. .”

Baochai's ears turned red when she heard such direct praise. She bit her lip and said, "Young girl, are you willing? She is such a good person, how can I bear to let her be my equal wife."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, I don't care about this. In fact, you all think too much. In my heart, both the legitimate wife and the ordinary wife are the same, so there is no need to worry about it."

"Bah, you say it as if I care, forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you about these things that don't even have a single word." Baochai said angrily.

"So Sister Bao doesn't blame me anymore?" Jia Cong said.

"What's the use of me blaming you? You're almost ready to cook." Baochai rolled her eyes at him.

"Sister, you have wronged me. I have always guarded my body for my sister. If you don't believe me, ask Qingwen and the others."

"Bah, you dirty bitch, is this what I'm talking about?" Baochai stomped away, ignored him, and went to talk to everyone.

Jia Cong was left aside by everyone, a little dumbfounded. What's going on? Are you considered isolated? How could such a talented person like me be left out in the cold? Still being unreasonable.
