Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

"Sister Bao (Zhen'er), you have a rest first and have something to eat. I'll come back as soon as I'm ready, hehe."

Jia Cong was very cunning and said the same words to Bao and Dai respectively, giving both of them the illusion that he was ranked second.

Thinking about coming to the two girls' house, he probably didn't know how long that kind of thing would take, and he would be embarrassed to ask about it afterwards. Jia Cong secretly laughed secretly.

After the ceremony, Jia Cong returned to the main hall after being reminded by the female officer. The congratulatory guests had already eaten. Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Jia, Jia Fang and other gentlemen were accompanying them everywhere.

Seeing him coming out, Niu Jizong, Feng Yuan, Prince Zhongxin and others all laughed and joked.

"So fast?"

"It's really too fast."

"Sure enough, the silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star." Feng Yuan said with a smile.

Jia Cong laughed and scolded everyone, and then said hello to Huo Peng, Dong Yi, and Jiang Feng who came to congratulate him. Then he sat down at the main seat, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating. After a hard day today, he had already eaten. So hungry.

"My lords, Cong has a heavy responsibility tonight and is in a hurry. Don't be surprised if he is rude."

Huo Peng said with a smile: "The ancients said that if a thousand-mile horse is not full and has no strength, its talent and beauty will not show up. Tonight, the prince-in-law's horse will ride together, and there will be three bloody battles. How can he show off his glory without being full? I won't be surprised."

Everyone laughed.

Jia Cong burst out laughing. Is it true that a serious bachelor can be so boring?

Feng Yuan said with a smile: "It can be said that the general does not take off his golden armor at night, and the troops are fighting each other in the middle of the night. In this situation, why don't the prince recite a poem to cheer for the prince consort."

Prince Zhongxin said with a smile: "Brother Feng knows me, and he just said a few words. The horse is newly riding on the white jade saddle. After the battle, the moon is cold on the battlefield."

Everyone applauded: "This poem is quite heroic. What a white jade saddle, it's extremely wonderful."

Niu Jizong said with a smile: "You guys in the middle hall have good poems, but we rough guys know nothing about it."

Huo Peng twisted his beard and said with a smile: "There are thousands of peaks in Yumen Mountain, and there are always beacons in the north and south of the mountain."

"Okay! I'd like to toast Huo Xiang. It's really a good thing." Everyone smiled lewdly.

Jia Cong secretly marveled, as expected, the scholars were all sanctimonious prostitutes, a group of old hooligans.

Everyone toasted to Jia Cong again and said with a smile: "The most talented man in the world must write poems tonight."

Jia Cong laughed and was about to say a few flirty words when he suddenly saw Liu Xianglian hurried in, whispered a few words in his ear, and quietly handed him a paper ball.

What? ! Jia Cong was startled, but with a calm expression on his face, he stood up holding a ball of paper, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone in the hall, princes, lords and uncles, please feel free to do so. Young Master Cong will accompany you."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about us." Everyone knew something was wrong and couldn't ask, so they all smiled and returned the favor.

Jia Cong turned back to the inner hall and opened the paper ball. Inside was a jade ring that Jia Huan always wore. There was a line written on the paper: The person is in my hand. Come to Baihua Tower quickly. No troops are allowed to stir up the crowd, otherwise the vote will be broken.

A white lotus is painted below.

Damn it, are you stubborn? ! Jia Cong cursed angrily.

Jia Huan disappeared and was suspected of being robbed. If the "monster" of the White Lotus Virgin wanted to harm him, Jia Cong didn't believe it because it was illogical.

If she really wanted to deal with him, why did she choose to do it in the city? If something happens to her, can she run away?

Besides, what's the point of her dealing with herself?
If it is to avenge the battlefield, Bai Qiuwei can take charge of the great religion, but she does not look like such a naive person.

What's more, the Jinyi Guards and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division have been inspecting the city several times recently. It's not that easy for the demons of the White Lotus Sect to gather silently and cause chaos.

Not to mention that the benefits of cooperation with her are far greater than confrontation, and she will not do such an unwise thing.

In addition, Baihua Building has always been the focus of Jinyiwei's supervision. Since there are no abnormal reports, it means that Baihua Building is not dangerous no matter how dangerous it is.

Jia Cong sat alone in the back hall and thought for a long time, then ordered Cheng Lingsu to pass the order and let Jinyiwei's spies secretly pretend to be prostitutes, infiltrate into Baihua Building, and monitor the surrounding areas inside and outside, just in case.

Somewhat worried, Jia Cong called Pang Chao to discuss it again.

Pang Chao looked at the piece of paper and glanced at Jia Cong: "If you don't come early, you won't come later. This woman is going to attack Brother Cong on your bridal chamber at night, and talk about kidnapping. For example, when you and Brother Huan were kidnapped, He was tied up and taken to a remote place outside the city. This is common sense.

But she chose to stay in the prosperous part of the city. She knew that you were the admiral in Jinyi, but she chose to go to Hushan. Haha, isn't the meaning obvious? "

Jia Cong saw his strange expression and said, "Sir, please make it clear."

Pang Chao twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Is this girl a beauty?"

Jia Cong smiled dryly and said, "Not bad."

"Are you having an affair with her or using a beauty trick?" Pang Chao said.

"This is absolutely not the case." Jia Cong hurriedly denied it, "Don't you know about my character?"

Pang Chao smiled and said: "If you are upright and not afraid of the shadow, what should brother Cong be worried about? Guan Yunchang dares to go to the meeting alone, how about Jia Zilong?"

Jia Cong's face turned red and he laughed dryly and said: "Actually, there is a little connection. I captured her alive that day, and she wanted to use a honey trap on me. Sir, you know that Cong is a gentleman who is always in love, how can he fall into the trap.

Therefore, he used his tricks to trick her into trying to gain information..." He then stammered about what happened that night.

Pang Chao shook his head and laughed: "It is said that Brother Cong is the most romantic and talented man in the world, and it is true. I wonder why she is taking revenge on you this time and wants to destroy your bridal chamber."

Jia Cong smiled awkwardly and said, "Does Mr. Do you think I'm going?"

"You can go, or you can not go. If you don't go, I expect Mr. Huan to suffer a little at most, but it won't be a big deal." Pang Chao said.

Jia Cong smiled bitterly, forget it, let's go there. Although he didn't believe Bai Qiuwei would touch Jia Huan, he was still a brother, so it was better to get him back first.

Who can guess the temperament of the witch? Even if she doesn't kill anyone, she will be disgraced if she beats him up.

Pang Chao said: "You make up your own mind, I'm going to have a drink." After saying that, he left with a smile.

"Yuanba, take someone to guard the door of my study. If anyone comes to ask, just tell me that I have some urgent business to do, and no one is allowed to disturb me."

"Yes. I'm going out, why don't I bring some people with me?" Zhang Yuanba asked. "No, no matter what, buy me some time and don't let anyone know I'm out."

Jia Cong waved his hand, and as soon as his soldiers moved, everyone knew that he was out. On his wedding night, the consort slipped out to visit a brothel. If word got out, the consequences would be disastrous. He would slap Tianjia in the face, and Ruyi would be killed if he knew about it.

Bai Qiuwei, I will teach you a lesson later! Jia Cong felt secretly angry.

"Yes, little one understands."

"Lingsu, without further ado, ask your men to hitch the carriage and wait for me outside the back door. Follow me."

"Yes." Cheng Lingsu took the order and left.

After Jia Cong arranged things, he quietly sneaked into the room of Chu Chan, Qingwen and others, changed into casual clothes, and put on a hooded cloak, covering them tightly.

All the girls were surprised.

Chu Chan said curiously: "Cong'er, what are you..."

Qingwen spat: "If you don't go to the bridal chamber, why are you making trouble? Look carefully, the princess is angry."

Jia Cong smiled bitterly: "Brother Huan has been kidnapped. People are calling me by name. Can I not go?"

The two women were horrified: "You haven't reported it to the official yet? How could you have put yourself in danger?"

"I am the official. Don't worry, the kidnapper is also a friend. You are not allowed to make any noise. I will be back as soon as possible and leave without delaying the wedding."

How dare he speak out. The majestic commander of the Jinyi Guards colluded with the demons of the White Lotus Sect. This is definitely a huge scandal, more serious than the prince-in-law visiting a brothel on his wedding night.

"Eh..." The two women were still waiting to talk, but Jia Cong had already left. This man is already married and yet he is so confused that he can just send someone there casually. He will only know what is good if he offends the princess.
-
In the Baihua Building, in the room of Wu Ziyue, a famous prostitute and Qing Dynasty shepherd, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting alone at the round table, chewing heavily, with chopsticks in one hand and chicken drumsticks in the other, and his mouth was full of oil.

A little girl next to him was serving him dishes, pouring wine, and wiping the corners of his mouth from time to time.

Three girls were talking quietly inside.

Yang Siniang looked slightly worried and said, "Sister Bai, are we going too far? Today is his happy day."

Bai Qiuwei said: "Don't worry, that guy is very smart, not to mention he wants us to do things for him, I'm sorry he doesn't dare to say anything.

Aren't you angry that he left you alone in Shandong and came back to be his consort? Today is just the right time to vent your anger.

Tsk tsk, the prince-in-law abandoned the princess and ran to visit the brothel to see how he would explain it when he got back. "

Yang Siniang couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Jia Cong's anxious look. You deserve to be bullied.

Wu Ziyue smiled and said: "Eldest sister, Fourth Niang, aren't you afraid of offending the prince-in-law?"

"Bah, he is the one who pissed me off. He really thought that the White Lotus Sect was easy to bully." Bai Qiuwei sneered.

Jia Huan, who was outside, heard a few words and smiled vaguely: "My third brother is getting married today and he won't come.

Besides, he must have guessed that you won't do anything to me, so why go all the way in vain. I guess the most I can do is send a confidant over to take a look. "

"You bastard, let's eat what you have. Who wants you to talk too much?" Bai Qiuwei scolded.

Jia Huan smiled and said: "My sister-in-law, Si Niang, is here. Don't bully me." He looked confident.

Yang Siniang blushed, glanced at Bai Qiuwei, and said horrifiedly: "Sister Bai, he is a child, why do you argue with her?"

Bai Qiuwei glanced at her angrily and whispered, "You have become my sister-in-law before you even get married."

Yang Siniang blushed and said angrily: "Sister."

"Okay, okay, based on what I know about that bastard, he is bold, conceited, affectionate, and adventurous. He will definitely come. If you have anything to say later, just spit on him in front of him," Bai Qiuwei said.

"Ah, I, what did I say?" Yang Siniang said with a blushing face. She also listened to Bai Qiuwei's bewitchment and ran to Shenjing as soon as her brain became hot. Suddenly she didn't know what to say.

"Oh, you..." Bai Qiuwei smiled bitterly. Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard three long and two short knocks on the door.

"Here we come!" Everyone cheered up and hurriedly got up and came out.

But they saw Chen Qi and Bai Er standing at the door. Nine Deaths, disguised as a coachman, walked in first, took a look, and then gestured to the back. Cheng Lingsu accompanied Jia Cong in.

"Third brother!" Jia Huan stood up with a smile and rushed over to hug Jia Cong. Unexpectedly, the third brother really came.

"Stand still, who told you to run around? Someone brought you here." Jia Cong glared at him.

Jia Huan said aggrievedly: "Third brother, did you forget your command to give the jade plaque to Si Niang's sister-in-law? When I saw that, I thought it was your order, so I naturally followed."

Um, that seems to be the case. Jia Cong was a little embarrassed and couldn't say anything more, so he waved his hand and said, "Go aside."

Looking at Yang Siniang, Bai Qiuwei and others, he said angrily: "What are you doing? The boss is not young anymore, are you so naughty?"

Bai Qiuwei said with a smile: "The Marquis is as deep as the sea. It is difficult for us and the common people in the mountains to meet the Prince Consort, so we have no choice but to make this decision. This is not a joke, we really have important matters to discuss."

Yang Siniang hurriedly went to pour him tea and said with a blushing face: "Drink your tea first and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Jia Cong glanced at her with a wry smile and sighed: "Siniang, Si Niang, you said you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, but why are you following her in mischief? Forget it, send someone to send Brother Huan back first."

"Oh, oh." Yang Siniang nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said, "Bai Er, pick a few brothers and send Mr. Huan back to the house safely. Don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, the boss."

"To make a long story short, I'm in a hurry. Everyone who doesn't care should go down." Jia Cong glared at them.

Everyone retreated, leaving only Jia Cong, Bai Qiuwei, and Yang Siniang in the room.

When Bai Qiuwei saw Jia Cong sitting on pins and needles with a ray of light on his back, she couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart and said, "Siniang, if you have anything to say, just talk to the Prince Consort." At this moment, the word Prince Consort could not be heard. It's particularly jarring.

Jia Cong looked at Yang Siniang. (End of chapter)
