Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 325 Teach Concubine Yuan a lesson

The note read: The eldest brother only has eight horns, and the second brother only has two horns. The eldest brother only sits on the bed, while the second brother likes to squat on the room.

Jia Huan was a little embarrassed when everyone made fun of him, so he could only say: "A pillow and an animal head."

The eunuch remembered it and wanted to go after receiving the tea.

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "My father-in-law, please go slowly. I also have a letter, please give it to the noble concubine."

"Yes." The eunuch went outside to drink tea and wait.

Jia Mu said, "Brother Cong, what do you want to tell me?"

Jia Cong first ordered all his servants to retreat, and then he sighed: "As the saying goes, you can see the whole leopard by looking at one spot.

Logically speaking, the eldest sister is well-educated and well-educated, so she shouldn't do things like this, but she did it anyway. Although it was a trivial matter, Cong was very puzzled. "

Jia Mu asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"

"All the sisters were rewarded with the lantern riddles just now, but why didn't the second sister and brother Huan?" Jia Cong said.

When Mrs. Wang heard what Jia Cong said about Yuan Chun, she was very unhappy and said lightly: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning.

The empress had already spoken in advance, and it was only after she had guessed that she had spoken. If she had not guessed, there was no such thing. It’s just fun, what’s it worth? "

Jia Mu also nodded.

Jia Cong sneered and said: "Do you think it's a good thing for my eldest sister to be so ding-dong-mao-mao? Jinyiwei and Sanfa Department don't dare to say they are meticulous in handling cases, but the imperial concubine is selfless!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold, and no one dared to speak.

"Brother Cong, are you talking about your mother-in-law?" Mrs. Wang said coldly.

"Yes!" Jia Cong said firmly: "When the emperor does something wrong, all the officials can give advice. What? But the imperial concubine can't say anything?"

"豼!" Mrs. Wang had nothing to say. She couldn't suppress Jia Cong now.

Jia Mu also frowned and said, "I've said that."

Yingchun said hurriedly: "Third brother, I didn't guess at all. It's not worth anything. How dare you say my eldest sister's fault."

Jia Huan also advised: "Third brother, it's just a game. Big sister treats us very well."

Jia Cong sighed: "Do you think I am obsessed with this point?" He pointed to the palace-made nanmu poetry tube with carved landscape patterns and the purple bamboo tea spoon on the table.

"In the deep palace, the situation is complicated, and the concubines are vying for favor and fame, and they use all possible means.

Although the eldest sister comes from a high family, it is inevitable that she may be a little proud sometimes and offend others unintentionally.

For example, this time, during the Chinese New Year, it is fun to guess riddles between close relatives. The eldest sister is both the eldest sister and the empress. Is she reluctant to let go of the two little naughty children, or does she want to be the master of Qingtian and want to make a clear decision?

Old lady, you have had many ups and downs over the past few decades. I would like to ask, does one of our ladies do things like this?

Let alone a lady, even an illiterate peasant woman in the countryside might not be able to do such a thing. "Jia Cong said.

Everyone secretly nodded, thinking about it, the eldest sister really didn't handle this matter very well.

Even if we want to distinguish between superior and inferior, it is better not to leave Yingchun and Jia Huan alone, but to give them second-class rewards.

Jia Mu was speechless and said, "My Majesty has her own considerations, so you don't have to make blind guesses. Do our family still hate your Majesty?"

"That's fine with my own family, but if I offend someone in the harem, old lady, do you think others won't take revenge on my eldest sister because she is a concubine?"

Jia Cong said slowly, feeling quite resentful that iron cannot become steel. With Yuan Chun's emotional intelligence, no wonder he was killed in a palace fight.

He was so unkind to his sisters, let alone to the palace people and other concubines.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although they had never seen it before, there were many tragic palace battles recorded in history books.

Suddenly, she felt that Jia Cong was right. Yuanchun was in a situation where she could not make any mistakes.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were also aware of the seriousness of the matter, and they knew it at the slightest level, which can be seen from Yuanchun's behavior in the harem.

"You're right, it's up to you..." Jia Mu said.

"Congchang heard a miracle doctor say that the disease should be treated before it is diseased." After Jia Cong finished speaking, he ordered a pen and paper.

Sister Feng hurriedly went to get it herself.

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, quietly pulled Baochai, and whispered: "This is what Mr. Ye, the miracle doctor who cured my father, said."

Baochai nodded lightly, deeply convinced, and whispered: "Cong'er has really grown up, and the Qi family is here."

"Well, all I need is you, the housekeeper wife." Daiyu nodded and smiled.

"Bah, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful." Baochai blushed and sat down sternly, ignoring her.

Jia Cong sat aside, thought for a while, and wrote two sentences.

"What are you writing about?" Jia Mu asked hurriedly when she saw Jia Cong stop writing.

Jia Cong laughed, handed the letter to Baochai, and said, "Sister Bao, please read it to the old lady."

Baochai glanced at it and was surprised. This was too harsh.

Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, he had no choice but to glare at Jia Cong and read:

The virtuous concubine empress Yi Jian:

Now I heard that all the sisters were rewarded with the Lantern Festival riddles, but there were only two people who were welcoming and ringing.

Cong deeply respected his empress for her ruthlessness and uprightness. Since I have not solved the riddle, I dare not be ashamed to receive the reward. I am afraid that it will damage the empress's character of being lawless and noble, so I hereby return it.

The empress is selfless and merciless, so the people in the palace should respect her like a cong.

Di Cong paused

Everyone was speechless, these few words would probably make Concubine Yuan faint from anger.

Selfless and upright are all good words, but when used here, they are extremely ironic and sarcastic, which is really bitter.

Especially the last sarcastic remark, almost pointing at Concubine Yuan and saying, What you do is unpopular in the palace!

Jia Mu said angrily: "No, even if you want to remonstrate, you must not be so disrespectful to your empress. Rewrite!"

Mrs. Wang was also angry and furious. When Brother Cong scolded Yuan Chun, didn't he just scold her as a mother for not teaching her well?

Jia Cong said calmly: "Don't change a word. To treat stubborn diseases, you must use strong medicine. It's better for me to offend the queen than for the queen to offend outsiders."

Whatever punishment eldest sister has, I will take it. The visitor took the envelope and these two naughty boys and returned it to the eunuch, saying that I had no merit and no reward. "

"You bastard!" Mother Jia cursed, but there was nothing she could do about Jia Cong.

Mrs. Wang also stared at Jia Cong with hatred, wanting to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Old lady, madam, please don't look at me like this. You only saw me offending the queen. Why didn't you see when I was working for the queen?"

"You bastard! You haven't been home all day, and you haven't even gone to the palace to see the empress. What are you doing?" Jia Mu said angrily.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Cong Zhen has suffered a strange injustice. I have a good relationship with Dai Nei, for whom?

Not to mention other overt and covert cares, just talking about turning over brands, now the eldest sister can see His Majesty every four or five days. Why? Could it be that he was just lucky? "

All the sisters blushed and secretly scolded Jia Cong for speaking so freely. How could he say these things, but they were also curious in their hearts.

Mother Jia didn't care to scold him, and said with surprise and joy: "Could it be you..."

Jia Cong nodded: "This is the result of Dai Neixiang. I spent a hundred thousand silver for this. Old lady, when will you cancel the account with me?"

Everyone laughed.

"Madam, how can you reward me?" Jia Cong looked at Mrs. Wang teasingly.

Mrs. Wang was slightly embarrassed and said: "In our family, the old lady makes the decision, and we reward whatever the old lady says."

Jia Mu pretended to be angry and said, "I told you to give me a break. If you have something to say, you can't say it properly. You have to carry a gun and a stick. I have good intentions, so I don't want to cause any resentment to the empress."

Jia Cong chuckled and said calmly: "Old lady, if my empress is really smart, she will understand all my painstaking efforts."

Everyone was speechless when they saw his confident look.

Thinking about it, it is Jia Cong who is helping Yuanchun deal with things now. How dare Yuanchun offend him? Even if he is angry in his heart, he has to support Jia Cong.

Only when Jia Cong is good can she be good. Without Jia Cong, would Dai Quan still take care of her?

What's more, the two of them are cousins. They both prosper and suffer, so what can't they say? How could he really hold a grudge?

Suddenly I heard Sister Feng laughing and saying, "It's Bao Yatou's birthday in two days. Brother Cong, are you going to give birth to your sister Bao?"

Everyone knew she was trying to lighten the mood, so they laughed and agreed.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Feng is so rude. Now that you don't ask for such a big Buddha, you come to take advantage of me, a little brat?" After speaking, he pointed at the old lady.

Everyone laughed, and Baochai also glanced at him.

"Come on, people often say that you and Bao Yatou are close, but it seems that they are all hypocritical. To be so stingy, uncle, I think it is better for us to collect the money ourselves and treat Brother Cong to a free meal. Sister Feng said with a smile.

Mother Jia was fond of liveliness and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Since it's Bao Ya's birthday, I'll give you twenty taels. I'll leave it to Feng Yatou to organize the wine show."

Sister Feng laughed and said: "My ancestors celebrated the children's birthdays. Since they are so happy and lively, they have to spend a few taels of money on their own. Sooner or later, I will find this rotten twenty taels of silver as a host. This is also called I'll pay.

Sure enough, it’s just that we can’t take it out. The gold, silver, round, and flat ones all collapsed the bottom of the box, just strangling us. Could it be that in the future only Brother Bao can support you and climb Mount Wutai?

Those bodies are only reserved for him. Even though we are not worthy of using them now, don’t let them hurt us. Is this enough wine? Enough drama? "

What he said made the whole room laugh.

Jia Cong couldn't help but sigh to himself, if there was no Sister Feng in this family, there would be no reconciliation. Maybe Sister Bao could do it too?

Jia Mu said with a smile: "Listen to this, I'm pretty good at talking, but I can't speak to this monkey. If you think it's too little, just go and find Brother Xun Cong. He's now a high official, how can he get nothing?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "The old lady has already spoken, how can Cong dare to be strong? Sister-in-law Feng can spend money, no matter how much, just ask Qingwen for it."

"Okay, then I will make sure that Bao Yatou's baby is born in a glamorous manner, and I can also take the opportunity to get some money from Brother Cong for running errands." Sister Feng said with a smile.

Baochai said with a smile: "Thank you for using my name to make a fortune, and you don't want to share some benefits with me, so you want to live alone?"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "You are such a precious girl, you are guarding the golden mountain, but you come here to beg flowers to snatch food from the bowl?"

Naturally, everyone knew that the Jinshan that Sister Feng was talking about was Jia Cong, and they all laughed.

Baochai blushed and said angrily: "Girl Feng is getting more and more crazy. After all, she is a young lady from an official and scholarly family, but she compares herself to a beggar. Fortunately, you can speak out and are not afraid of people's jokes."

"Just laugh, don't come and share the money for running errands with me." Sister Feng said.

Everyone laughed, and the rogue settled down.

While they were talking and laughing, they suddenly saw Aunt Xue's girl, Tongxi, running towards her in a hurry and said, "Madam, please go home quickly. I'll have someone beat me."

ah? ! Everyone was shocked. Who dared to hit Xue Pan?
