Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Mother Jia took a long breath and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, you have established this special honor. I will open an ancestral hall tomorrow to pay tribute to my ancestors."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Just follow the old lady's orders. Now that the world is at peace, the old lady should go and rest first. She didn't sleep all night and has seriously hurt her body."

"Okay, I'll go and lean for a while." Jia Mu smiled and nodded. Li Wan and You helped her up quickly and took Baoyu away.

Qingwen, Qianxue and others hurriedly followed to make arrangements.

He saw all the girls from the two houses looking at him curiously, obviously wanting to hear the hero's story.

"There's nothing good to tell about the story of fighting and killing people. I won't tell you if I tell you to scare you, so don't tell me. Just tell me what's going on at home. I just saw corpses all over the ground at the door. It almost scared me out of my mind." Jia Cong sighed with lingering fear.

The girls were moved in their hearts and hurriedly expressed their comfort softly.

Ruyi told everything that happened after the farewell, and she also learned the skill of telling stories from Jia Cong. A plot was told with twists and turns, and it was thrilling.

When it was said that the Wanyan sisters' quivers were empty and the rebel army was still there, even though Jia Cong saw that they were safe and sound, his heart was still pounding and he asked hurriedly: "What next?"

Ruyi rolled her eyes at him and said: "Then Yang Fengfeng and Miss Bai led dozens of good men, jumped down from the roof, and killed the bandit army!

It's a pity that you didn't see the wonderful swordsmanship of the two girls. They were as powerful as a swimming dragon, as graceful as a startling giant, coming like thunder and leaving like clear light. Even I am ashamed of myself. "

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yan'er is very humble today." He looked at the two girls again, stood up suddenly, and bowed to the ground.

"Master Marquis, what are you doing! How can we bear it?" The two women hurriedly dispersed, not receiving his courtesy.

Jia Congcheng said: "Siniang, Qiu Wei, you arrived in time and saved my whole family. I really don't know how to thank you. I will never be able to repay this kindness in my lifetime."

All the girls also got up to give blessings.

Yang Siniang's face turned red and she hurriedly waved her hands and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. It's just a trivial matter. It's not worth mentioning. Don't take it to heart."

Bai Qiuwei was also very embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Master Hou, your words are serious. We, the people in the world, are chivalrous and righteous. It is an ordinary thing, so I don't bother to say thank you."

Naturally, Jia Cong and Yang Siniang were not so polite. They went up to hold her hand and said with a smile: "Siniang, I won't thank you. Sooner or later we are all one family anyway.

They are all sisters. If you save them, it will benefit you in the future. Qiu Wei, what I promised you will be done immediately. Don't worry, never break your promise. "

The two girls got into a big blush. When Bai Qiuwei saw that everyone in the hall was his "family", she couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly said: "Master Marquis, ladies and gentlemen, if this matter is over, I won't bother you any more. Farewell." After saying that, he ran away.

Yang Siniang buried her head deeply in her towering chest. When she saw a group of ladies and sisters-in-law, she didn't dare to raise her head. However, she felt relieved. Since Jia Cong dared to speak out, he also meant that he was responsible for himself.

All the girls showed genuine expressions. They smiled and pulled Yang Siniang into the team, chattering and asking questions.

Ruyi whispered: "You bastard, how many romantic debts have you incurred without telling us?"

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "I swear, it's definitely gone. If I hadn't taken in Siniang, who would have rescued you at this critical moment? Is it a merit or demerit?"

Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled: "For such a great contribution, Sister Ruyi should reward you with something."

Jia Cong smiled dryly and said, "That's not necessary. I always do good deeds without leaving my name. Don't you know?"

Baochai smiled and said: "You can see that one drink and one peck, could it be that it is a predestined relationship, and a thousand-mile marriage is tied by a thread. If Cong'er was not romantic, we would have encountered a catastrophe today."

Ruyi smiled and rolled her eyes at him, and said: "Six Niang is a good person, and I like her very much. Let's forget it this time."

"Good Yan'er, such a good wife." Jia Cong hurriedly held Ruyi's hand and coaxed.

"Don't drink the ecstasy soup with me. What's going on with that 'Qiu Wei'? Tell me clearly as soon as possible." Ruyi opened his hand with a snap and hummed softly.

Jia Cong glanced at the crowd and saw that they were all talking and laughing around Yang Siniang, so he said in a low voice: "It's a long story. Qiu Wei is a member of the Jianghu community. She was an enemy rather than a friend to me at first. Later, we turned into enemies. Now we are friends. Now that we have saved so many lives in our family, this..."

"Whatever this or that, just say whether you want to let her in or not." Ruyi interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

Daiyu said sourly: "Qiuwei is as good-looking and good-looking as a martial artist. If it were me, she would definitely be tempted. Is there anyone who doesn't want to? That's either a fool or a blind man."

Jia Cong hurriedly looked at Baochai for help, but she glared back at him, saying that he had to solve the trouble he had caused.

He had no choice but to be shameless and said with a smile on his face: "Yan'er, Yan'er, just think about it, Qiu Wei is a chivalrous woman in the world, what can we do to repay her?
She regards gold and silver treasures as dung, and grand mansions she discards like worn-out shoes.

In order for you to have peace of mind, I privately thought that apart from sacrificing my ego and committing myself, there is really nothing I can do to repay you.

Of course, it depends on whether the person is willing or not...hehe. "

"Fuck you, shameless." Ruyi blushed and pushed him.

Daiyu was also a little angry. She pointed at Jia Cong and said, "You had no good intentions at the beginning and actually used us as a target. Could it be that without what happened today, you would have let Miss Bai go?"

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "I...the relationship between me and her is pure...in vain. Please don't wrongly accuse good people."

Baochai couldn't help but spat: "You, you just like to do some sneaky things. If you fall in love with someone, you might as well come back and explain it clearly, and we will bring them in fair and square."

No matter how good it is to other girls or to you, are we the ones who cannot tolerate others and must force you to go out and sneak around? "

Jia Cong was most afraid of Baochai's anger. Bai Qiuwei had a special status and he couldn't explain it, so he had to surrender.

He whispered: "Three good wives, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. My little brother will definitely change his ways and change his mind. So many sisters are watching, so at least they will leave me some sympathy."

"Scoundrel!" The three women sneered and rolled their eyes at him angrily.
Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and saw Xiang Yun excitedly asking Yang Siniang for sword skills. He suddenly remembered something and said, "Sister Bao, there is one thing. Please choose an opportunity to tell Xiang Yun. I don't know how to say it."

"What's the matter?"

Jia Cong sighed and said: "Brother Ruolan followed me into the palace tonight to serve the king. He was wearing strong armor and leading the army. Unfortunately... he was killed in battle."

"Ah?!" The three women were all startled and took a breath. In this way, wouldn't Xiangyun become an outcast? How will you get married in the future?

Looking at Xiangyun's innocent smile, the three women couldn't bear it and turned away together.

Jia Cong sighed: "The matter has come to this, and we have to face it eventually. Xiangyun has a bold and heroic temperament, so he probably won't hurt himself too much. Sister Bao, I'll leave it to you. There's still chaos in the city, I'll go out and take a look first ”

Baochai said hurriedly: "I understand. Be more careful and bring more people with you."

Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, most of the rebels have been destroyed, and some remnants in the city are not worth mentioning. I left my soldiers at home to keep them safe." After saying that, he stood up, said hello, and went out.

The Mo Dao soldiers carry too much weight and are only suitable for positional warfare, not for this kind of search and suppression warfare running around. If they are pulled out, the Shenjing City is so big, I am afraid that I will die of exhaustion before I can find the enemy.

After killing all night, it was already dawn, and a trace of fish belly white appeared on the eastern horizon.

As soon as Jia Cong went out, he met Dai Quan coming with several eunuchs and a team of guards.

"Oh, what are you doing out of the palace if the steward doesn't follow you?" Jia Cong hurriedly reined in his horse.

"I'm here to ask for a small favor, brother." Dai Quan returned the favor with a smile.

"But the manager said it's okay. Why are you and my brother so polite?" Jia Cong said with a smile.

"I'll take advantage of my brother Hu Wei to accompany me on a trip to Dongchang Alley." Dai Quan said with a smile.

Jia Cong's heart moved. It was obvious that Dai Quan was preparing to take over the power of Dongchang, and this must be what Jin Shang meant, because he smiled and said: "It seems that the general manager is going to be the governor. I would like to congratulate you first."

"You're welcome, we share the same joy." Dai Quan's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum in full bloom. After being depressed for so many years, he was finally feeling proud.

"Well, without further ado, let's set off immediately. Dapeng will dispatch two hundred soldiers to follow me," Jia Cong said.

"Thank you, brother." Dai Quan said with cupped hands.

"Hey, in the future, you and I will be in charge of the factory guard, and we will most likely be hated by others. We need to help each other and support each other." Jia Cong pulled Dai Quan and whispered, and openly colluded with the "eunuch party" as a matter of course and without resistance.

"It's natural, it must be certain. Anyone who wants to deal with me should do it like he would deal with me." Dai Quan said sternly.

"My little brother is just the same." Jia Cong also looked solemn, wishing he could swear to the sky.

"Good brother." "For life."

The two "powerful traitors" were as good as one person, and they went back and forth. The current situation is like this. Dai Quan has just taken over the power of Dongchang and needs the support of the outer court. Jia Cong also needs his own people around Jinshang and the inner court. Therefore, It hit it off immediately.

As for whether this was collusion or collusion, Jia Cong couldn't care less. Politicians always only talk about interests, regardless of right or wrong.
-
The girls watched Jia Congyi go out again without taking off her armor, and they all looked at Ruyi and the three of them worriedly.

Baochai smiled and said: "Cong'er said that most of the rebels have been wiped out. What trouble can the few remaining defeated generals make? Don't worry."

Everyone was happy when they heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I haven't slept a wink all night. It's okay now. Sister Chan and Sister Ping, please take everyone to have a rest." Daiyu said.

Chu Chan and Ping'er agreed and hurriedly made arrangements.

"Xiangyun, come to my place and have a rest." Baochai smiled and waved.

"Okay, I have a lot to say to Sister Bao." Xiangyun smiled and ran over to hold her arm.

Ruyi and Daiyu looked at each other and sighed secretly.

Xiangyun chattered non-stop along the way, but Baochai just responded with a smile. It wasn't until he entered the room that Xiangyun stopped talking.

He smiled and said, "Sister Bao, don't you want to say anything to me? You see Sister Feng's cute little sister is so annoying. When will you have a baby?"

Baochai's face was slightly red, and he glared at her and said, "Girl, you are not ashamed to say these things. I think you can't wait to have children?"

Xiangyun laughed, blushed and nodded, holding her hand and saying: "Good sister, I just tell you, you are not allowed to tell anyone, in the future I will give birth to a boy and a girl. How about it?"

Seeing her innocent and innocent look, Baochai felt a pain in her heart and said with a forced smile: "Of course that's great. You are so handsome, so your child will be cute too."

Xiang Yun pursed her lips slightly and said a little uneasily: "This is not a matter of one person. What's the use of just being handsome."

Baochai comforted him and said, "Why are you so worried? I heard from Cong'er that Mr. Wei... is very handsome."

"Really? Sister Bao didn't lie to me? I don't believe what Brother Cong said." Xiangyun said suspiciously.

"Really. Mr. Wei is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and is handsome and handsome. He is indeed a good match." Baochai said softly.

Xiangyun smiled shyly and said, "Sister Bao said so, so I reluctantly believe it."

"Yun'er, when is the wedding date set for you and Mr. Wei?" Baochai asked after considering his words.

"Originally it was this month, but because of national filial piety, it will naturally be postponed, maybe in September or October." Xiangyun said.

"There are so many talented people in the capital. Why did Mrs. Baolinghou settle on the Wei family with you in the first place?" Baochai said.

Xiangyun shook his head shyly and said, "I don't know either."

Baochai said: "Mrs. Linchuan must have taken a liking to you."

"Sister Bao...you're laughing at me again." Xiangyun twisted Baochai's arm and acted coquettishly.

Baochai said: "This is not a joke, I'm just a little worried. Yun'er, you come from a noble family, you should know that in a noble family, all the achievements and honors are achieved on the horse.

If he is incompetent, he will be like a precious jade and spend his whole life as a wealthy and idle man.

If you are as ambitious and capable as Cong'er or Wei Gongzi, you will inevitably suffer some damage from fighting on the battlefield and charging into battle.

Think about it, those guns and arrows are so dangerous. The danger tonight is not even one-tenth as dangerous as the battlefield.

Now that I heard that Cong'er is going to send troops to release his horses, my heart feels like fifteen buckets of water. I must see him come back safely before I can feel relieved.

If you become a woman in the future, won't you worry? "

Hearing this, Xiangyun smiled and consoled him: "Good sister, what are you worried about? Although brother Cong is a bit bad, his skills are not what Huo Qiao can ride on. He is the only one who bullies others. Who can bully him?"

Baochai sighed quietly: "Even with the bravery of the champion, he died young, let alone others?"

Xiangyun said: "Sister Bao, this is a bit sad. It sounds like what Zhuo'er said. How can Brother Cong be short-lived? People say that good people don't live long, but disasters live for thousands of years. If he is so bad, he will definitely live long. Live a hundred years.”

Baochai smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Then have you asked about Mr. Wei's personality? Is he a good person or a bad person?"

Xiangyun blushed and said coyly: "How can people ask about him? Isn't that a joke?"

"You really haven't asked about it?"

Xiangyun nodded, blushed and shook his head, saying in a voice like a gnat: "I heard from Baoyu that Wei... he is not frivolous. He is over the age of a weak man. He only has a few girls to serve him, and he doesn't even have a room." As for people, they are not like Brother Cong..."

After saying this, he came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Sister Bao, I'm not saying anything bad about Brother Cong, it's just... it's just that he... is different from Brother Cong."

"You and I have been sisters for many years, so I naturally understand what you mean." Baochai held her hand and sighed softly.

Poor Wuding Riverside Bone is still a spring boudoir dream.

Xiangyun finally noticed something was wrong in Baochai's expression. She was originally a talented woman with clear intelligence. Her heart suddenly tightened and she said in a trembling voice: "Sister Baochai... what do you mean by saying these words to me today?"

Baochai hugged her weak shoulders and whispered: "Yun'er, as the saying goes, if an earthen pot is not broken near the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. It is also said that the sky has unpredictable winds and clouds, and people have misfortune and good fortune..."

Xiangyun's face turned pale, and tears were streaming down her face. She shook her head and said, "Sister Bao, stop talking. I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. Let's talk about it another day."

Baochai caressed her temples and sighed: "Yun'er, the world is not going as well as it should. Heng ten is seven or eight. You should be more open-minded. No matter what, the old lady, me, and Qi'er will love you."

Xiangyun burst into tears and forced a smile: "Sister Bao, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Baochai said softly: "Tonight, all the nobles and Cong'er went to the palace to quell the rebellion and save the king. Mr. Wei did not avoid the arrows, but took the lead and sacrificed his life for the country..."

Although the words were spoken softly, they were like a thunderbolt exploding in Xiangyun's ears. There was only one sentence echoing in his mind - he sacrificed his life for the country...

Baochai was also startled when he saw Xiangyun's eyes were empty and his expression was dull, like a wooden man who had lost his business in an instant.

He hugged her hurriedly and called out: "Yun'er, Yun'er! Just look away, everything will pass. You, don't scare me."

Xiangyun only felt someone calling vaguely in his ears, but he couldn't hear what was said. His heart felt empty, as if all the emotions he had been filled with for several months were in vain, and he was so sad that he wanted to vomit blood.

Although she had never met or spoken to Wei Ruolan in the past few days, she had already pieced together an ideal husband in her mind based on the bits and pieces of information revealed from the conversations of people around her.

As for the young girl, who had just begun to fall in love, she had already firmly bound her love to this imaginary husband. Now that she suddenly heard that her "husband" had been killed in battle, she couldn't accept it for a while.

And the world is like this, for these young ladies, staying true to life is not only related to their own reputation, but also to the family tradition.

Thinking of the miserable situation in which he would be worse than Youshi, Li Wan, and Qin Keqing in the future, Xiangyun couldn't help but throw himself into Baochai's arms and burst into tears.

"It'll be fine if you cry, Yun'er, don't worry, no matter what the obstacle is, it will always pass." Baochai comforted her by stroking her back.

"Sister Bao, why am I so miserable... Wuwu." Xiangyun burst into tears.

Baochai thought about how she had lost her parents since she was a child and lived in the Baoling Marquis Mansion. Her uncle and aunt were stingy and unkind, and the dignified young lady of the Marquis had to work as a prostitute day and night to supplement the family income.

Fortunately, the old lady was kind and would often take it over to stay for a while and play with the sisters, which gave her some happiness.

Now it was easy to get a good marriage, but her husband died in infancy. For her daughter's family, it was like the sky was falling.

Thinking of this, tears rolled down Baochai's eyes and she said softly: "Yun'er, don't be afraid, my sister is here.

Even if my sister doesn't have the ability, I'll beg Ruyi, the old lady, and Cong'er. We can help you together and we can always make you happy, okay? "

"Sister Bao..." Xiangyun felt self-pity and inexplicable emotion, and cried even harder. (End of chapter)
