Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 242 Who sacrificed 2
  "Hurry up and say it." Tan Chun glared at him.

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "I just received a letter from my third brother yesterday. He said..." He glanced at Baochai and Daiyu furtively.

"What did brother Cong say?" Daiyu rolled her eyes at him angrily.

"The third brother said that he had just hired two Jurchen girls and ordered me to report to the old lady on his behalf. Considering the urgency of the matter and the overall situation of the Han and Yi people, it is not time to ask the old lady for instructions. I dare to make my own decision. Please understand the old lady. .”

Wang Xifeng sneered and said, "Brother Cong is a brat. He just takes concubines. What's the big deal? He's really dishonest."

Jia Mu also laughed angrily, her face darkened again, and said: "You bastard. Once you leave home, you will be like a wild colt with its bridle removed. You will drag everything dirty and smelly into the house. Even barbarian women will do it." If you don't let him go, he will be just like me. How can he look like a master?

Speaking of the overall situation, isn't it true that every border guard has to take in a few savage wives? What a bastard! "

All the girls couldn't help but laugh when they heard Jia's mother scolding Jia Cong. Only Baochai and Daiyu smiled with a hint of secret annoyance. Didn't this lecherous scoundrel mean that he was not good at martial arts and was not a womanizer? In a blink of an eye, two girls were admitted to the room.

Jia Huan hurriedly defended Jia Cong and said with an apologetic smile: "Old lady Rong Geng, third brother said that these two girls are not ordinary people, but the daughters of the head of the Jurchen tribe in Heishui. There are 70,000 to 80,000 people in the tribe. The matchmaker is the head of the Jurchen tribe in Liaodong." .

If you get these two people, you will win the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Jurchens in Liaodong. Not to mention anything else, the things I brought back today were obtained from trade with the Jurchens. The two sisters-in-law also married two thousand people, and the third brother easily obtained a thousand elite Jurchens. "

Brother Daocong seemed to have become rich because he had won over the Jurchens. Jurchens are known to be brave and brave. In order to subdue elite soldiers, it is not a big deal to recruit two women. Brother Cong is much smarter than Dai Shan, and he also knows how to use beautiful men. Jia Mu secretly spat.

"Asshole! Who is your sister-in-law? That's nonsense." Jia Mu glared at Jia Huan and feigned anger.

"Yes, yes, old lady, please calm down. What do you think you should do in reply to Third Brother's words?" Jia Huan bowed, rolled his eyes, and glanced at Jia Mu secretly.

Jia Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Just say I know."

"Yes, is this the end?"

"Do you still want me to praise him? You bastard." Jia Mu spat.

Jia Huan hurriedly said "I don't dare", picked up the tiger skin cloak, and walked away in a hurry.

Jia's mother glanced at Baochai and Daiyu. Needless to say, Daiyu, Lin Ruhai personally promised Jia Cong to be his equal wife. Isn't it about to leave the position of his wife to whomever she wants?
  Although her eyes are bright, her heart is not. She blames Brother Daocong for gifting her such a good old ginseng. This is the original intention.

Yin deliberately put on a serious face and said: "Girl Feng, when brother Cong comes back, you must remind me to scold him so much that he becomes more and more daring. There is no reason to make one's own decisions in marriage matters, even if it is concubinage, You should also report it to your elders before you can do it.

From now on, these two barbarian wives are not allowed to enter the house. "

Wang Xifeng glanced at Xue and Lin with a smile, knowing that these words were meant for them, and hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely keep it in mind, even I am angry.

My sister-in-law, who is fair and just, did not hear Huan'er call her so affectionately. Instead, the savage wife, whom I had never met before, became his sister-in-law. Do you think you are angry or not? "

Everyone laughed.

Xue and Lin both laughed. Baochai was generous, talking and laughing as if nothing had happened, but Daiyu was a little sour, not even interested in opening the gift, and just wanted to go out and grab Jia Huan immediately, and ask him to understand.

"Look what Brother Cong has given you?" Mother Jia said with a smile.

Wang Xifeng held a small box tightly. It was obviously not clothes. She was afraid that it was a woman without clothes. She would be so embarrassed. She hurriedly said: "I am a little thing, there is nothing to see. Look at Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou. Is that right?"

Everyone refused.

She had no choice but to gently open a crack, take a look, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she opened the box to show it to everyone.

ah! Everyone was amazed. Inside the box was a ball-sized Dongzhu. It was round, huge, and crystal-clear in color. Just this bead could not be bought for a thousand taels of silver.

"I don't know what kind of bead this is. Please appreciate it, old lady." Wang Xifeng took it out and presented it to Jia Mu like a treasure.

"You don't even know these, and you are blind, but this is the finest Dongzhu. Back then, your great-grandfather also gave me such a pearl, and I wore it on the beaded hairpin with hundreds of birds facing the phoenix." Mother Jia looked at it. The beads in his hand showed nostalgia in his eyes.

"Oh, it turns out this is also a Dongzhu. Usually our Dongzhu is not even 20% of this size. I thought Dongzhu were all that small." Wang Xifeng covered her mouth and said with a smile. She didn't recognize him at all, but she just got an advantage. Being a good boy makes everyone feel itchy with hatred.

"Sister Bao, look what you have?" Xiangyun hugged Baochai and smiled.

Baochai opened the box with a smile, and the whole room seemed to light up. Everyone took a breath and looked at the box in her hand, unable to move away anymore.

Even a young lady like Jia Mu, who grew up wealthy and wealthy, has never seen such a good thing, and her eyes froze.

It turned out to be a necklace of East beads. Although it was slightly smaller than Sister Feng's bead, it was better because the beads were the same size, big and round, shiny, as bright as the moon, and as bright as stars.

Daiyu hurriedly opened her box and found the same necklace inside. She was relieved. Brother Cong still had a conscience. Looking at such a dazzling bead string, she didn't feel sorry for Jia Cong secretly taking concubines. Theorized.

Jewelry is always a temptation that women cannot resist.

Sister Feng is a little jealous, and Brother Cong is too partial. Although my own bead is big, there is only one, and although theirs is smaller, there are dozens of them. The difference in value cannot be calculated.

Baochai gently picked up the beads and saw there was a note in the box. Xiangyun was quick and snatched it away. After taking a look at it, he burst into laughter.

Baochai's face turned red, for fear that Jia Cong would write something embarrassing. In front of so many people like the old lady, wouldn't that cost people's lives? He hurriedly scolded: "Girl Yun, you are crazy again. Don't give it to me yet."

Seeing Baochai's flirtatious behavior, Xiangyun did not dare to be presumptuous. He returned it in a polite manner and said with a smile: "Sister Baochai, don't blame me. The origin of this Dongzhu necklace is written on it. Don't laugh after reading it."

Baochai rolled her eyes at her, took the note, looked at it, couldn't help but laugh, and handed it to Daiyu.

When Daiyu saw it, she laughed and was annoyed at the same time. She secretly cursed the scoundrel in her heart, but she would be able to excuse herself.

"What did Brother Cong write?" Mother Jia couldn't help but asked curiously.

Daiyu hurriedly recited: "Ordinary Eastern beads are of different sizes, not round in shape, and impure in color. This is because there are many collectors in the rivers, but there are only a few pearls and mussels. The top-quality Eastern beads come from the depths of the white mountains and black waters, and cannot be found by humans." In the end, only swans and swan geese came and roosted.

These two birds like to eat old clams, get pearls and store them in their crops. Therefore, if you want to get Dongzhu, you must first get geese. If you want to get geese, you must first get Haidongqing. If you want to get Haidongqing, you must first get Jurchens. , if you want to get Jurchen, you must first get married to calm your mind.

This is also the reason why Cong sacrificed his reputation and sacrificed his life generously. Also: This bead is a congratulatory gift from Wan Yan Shan and Wan Yan Hua. If Sister Bao and Zhu Er don't like it, they can return the original item and Cong find another gift to give. "

Everyone laughed after hearing this. Brother Cong became more and more cunning. In this way, accepting Dongzhu was equivalent to accepting two Jurchen aunts.

What girl doesn't like such good beads? Even if she grits her teeth and gives up, the rice has already been cooked. If the beads are withdrawn, how can Jia Cong return the two girls? Wouldn't that mean both sides suffer?

Daiyu laughed angrily and said, "No wonder Brother Cong wants to win the battle. How can the Tatars not suffer a loss if he is so cunning?"

Everyone laughed.

Baochai also shook her head and laughed. She didn't care about Jia Cong taking a concubine. Seeing that he took such painstaking efforts, he obviously valued the two of her very much, but she felt quite happy.

Mother Jia also laughed. Brother Cong is so cunning, he will be able to protect the family in the future. Let him deal with the affairs of Liaodong.
