Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 86: Rejoice in anger
  When Daiyu heard the words, like a wooden figure, she slowly turned her head and glanced at Jia Cong. The emotions in her eyes were complicated and inexplicable, including sadness, disappointment, anger, helplessness, and pain. She immediately lowered her head. As expected, Brother Cong felt that Without me.

Jia Cong looked at Daiyu's eyes as if she was dead and heartbroken, and his heart trembled. He had just rejected Lin Daiyu. Seeing Baochai's implicitly reproachful eyes, he panicked and regretted it. He wanted to change his mind but didn't know how to say it. He stood up and froze there.

Fortunately, Mother Jia had already scolded her: "You unpopular bastard, do I want you to give it away to someone else? This is your eldest aunt's only flesh and blood, shouldn't you give it away? If you take the martial arts exam, even your relatives will not recognize you." Yes, what did you take the exam for?"

Everyone didn't dare to speak when they saw Mother Jia banging the table and yelling curses.

Jia Cong felt relieved and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "Old lady, please calm down. Cong was speechless for a moment. In fact, in my heart, I am willing to send Sister Lin away."

Everyone was relieved to see Jia Cong surrender.

Mother Jia's expression softened a lot, and Brother Cong also knew that he would correct his mistakes and not be hopeless.

Daiyu suddenly said: "Old lady, Brother Lian has given me enough gifts. Don't delay Brother Cong's future because of me."

Jia Cong saw that her face was pale, but there was a trace of stubbornness and determination in her eyes. He felt ashamed and regretful, and he grabbed her hand and said, "Not enough! Brother Lian has no martial arts. What if there is a big insect on the boat?"

Daiyu struggled for a while but didn't break away, but her heart warmed slightly and she said: "Where did the big insects come from in the river?"

"There are no big insects, but there are dragons. Even if there are no dragons, it would be bad if there are some sneaky thieves that startle my sister. It's better for me to go there in person, so I can rest assured." Jia Cong held Daiyu's weak and boneless body. Little hand.

Everyone laughed, it was rare for Brother Cong to stay down and be a child.

"Okay, Yu'er, please don't be angry. He is a young monk chanting sutras - he is saying it but not really, so just let him go. I feel more at ease." Jia Mu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, sister Lin, will you take me to Yangzhou for some fun?" Jia Cong hurriedly shook her hand and begged.

With so many people watching, Daiyu blushed and muttered in a low voice: "Just go, don't let go if you show this to anyone." The scoundrel grabbed her and wouldn't let go, and even rubbed her back and forth. I was rubbing it so hard that my heart almost jumped out of my throat.

"Thank you sister for showing mercy." Jia Cong then let go of his hand.

When the news came that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, it became clear that the banquet could no longer go on, so Jia Mu dispersed and everyone went to take care of themselves.

Jia Cong and Baochai nodded goodbye and returned to the room. After thinking about what was at hand, he ordered Qian Xue to summon Wang Cai while he sat down at the desk to write a letter.

Now there are only two things on his mind, one is the liquor business, and the other is the training of his soldiers.

Seeing that he was about to write, Qingwen hurriedly came over to grind the ink for him and asked softly, "Master, has something happened?"

Jia Cong didn't hide anything from her, and said: "I just received a letter from Uncle Lin at Rongqing Hall, saying that she was ill and wanted to take Sister Lin back for a visit. The old lady asked me and Brother Lian to escort her. I guess Uncle Lin can't do it. ”

Qingwen was also surprised. Daiyu's temperament had always been to her liking, she had frequent contacts with her, and she had done several jobs for her in the past.

"Then don't Miss Lin cry to death?"

Jia Cong nodded and sighed: "Human life and death are determined by fate, and crying will not help."

"Now that I'm gone, I need to give more advice to Miss Lin. She is already weak. If she suffers another great tragedy, she may be hurt." Qingwen looked worried.

Jia Cong said: "When the time comes, you can persuade her personally. I won't persuade others."

"Me?" Qingwen's eyes widened and she reacted: "You want to take me with you?"

"That's natural. Why don't you want to go to Yangzhou? Then I'll take Qian Xue there alone." Jia Cong said teasingly.

Now that the eldest man and his wife in the house are eager to eat his flesh and drink his blood, he will not be stupid enough to put two pretty girls at home as targets. If something happens, he will regret it for the rest of his life. "I'm going, I'm going, I don't want you to take Qianxue alone." Qingwen pouted her little mouth, acting coquettishly.

Seeing her delicate look, Jia Cong couldn't help but put her on his lap and sit down. Just as he was about to do something, footsteps sounded, and Qian Xue led Wangcai in.

Qingwen hurriedly stood up and turned away with a blushing face, for fear of being seen.

Wangcai didn't dare to look around. He lowered his head and made a thousand greetings, waiting for instructions.

"Send me a letter..." Just as Jia Cong started to speak, he suddenly heard a shouting voice coming in from outside. She was none other than Nanny Jiang.

"Mr. Cong, I beg you, Mr. Cong, to have mercy and let my two sons come back. They are not soldiers. I'm afraid they will miss the important things of the Third Master."

Jia Cong sneered in his heart, can't you bear it after only a few months?
  "Mom, what do you mean by this? But what's wrong with Cong to treat the two nanny brothers badly?" Jia Cong helped her up and said with a smile.

Aunt Jiang cried and said: "Third Master, the instructor in charge of the soldiers is too cruel. I went to watch it secretly. It was a drill that was neither white nor black. They were either carrying rocks and running on the mountain road, or two people were using wooden guns to fight against each other. The beatings were all real beatings, and it hurt just to look at them.

Your two nanny brothers have lost more than 20 kilograms in less than a month and have lost their appearance. If this continues, their lives will be hard to save. I beg Third Master to be merciful and let them go. "

Jia Cong asked: "Where are the two brothers now?"

"They... they couldn't stand it anymore and ran back." Nanny Jiang whispered.

Jia Cong snorted coldly: "Mom, you are also an old man in the family. Have you ever heard of the old man and his soldiers escaping? Since they are soldiers, they are subject to military law. What is the crime of escaping in battle? Besides, I have not treated you badly. Their monthly salary of 5 taels of silver is higher than that of Baoyu. How should Cong treat them? In this case, military law is ruthless, so I can only..."

Seeing Jia Cong's murderous look on his face, Aunt Jiang knelt down, hugged Jia Cong's thigh, and begged for mercy.

"Forget it, for mother's sake, I will send their heads for now. When I remember them, I will pick them up again." Jia Cong said coldly.

Seeing that she had escaped disaster, Grandma Jiang knelt down to thank her and stood up to say goodbye. This soldier said that she would not do anything anymore, no matter how much money she gave her.

"Mom, wait a minute. After this incident, mom should understand a truth. You are my nanny, and I respect you, but I don't have to respect your son. If you continue to rely on your old age and act like one in the future... hum."

When Aunt Jiang heard this, she was filled with hatred and fear. It turned out that it was the little prostitute Qingwen who instigated her.

I came here for the sake of my son's future, but I didn't expect that Brother Cong was so hard-hearted that he didn't get any advantage and even lost his face. His son also suffered half of his life. Why bother?

Seeing her dead mother look, Qingwen couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I told you to chew maggots, and you dare to scold a girl. Let's see if you dare to show off in the future."

After sending the nanny away, Jia Cong pondered for a moment and wrote two letters.

He handed a letter to Wangcai and said: "Tomorrow morning, you will deliver this letter to Mr. Yan Fei, do you understand?"

Wangcai hurriedly knelt down to take it and repeatedly agreed.

"Go away." Jia Cong waved him away.

The letter first asked him to hand over 40% of his wine profits to Xue Pan. The second is to strictly supervise the drills of the soldiers and not to relax. Third, the secrets of the winery must be strictly protected. The fourth is to praise the Jiang brothers for doing very well.

Jia Cong picked up another letter and wanted Qingwen to give it to Baochai. After a slight hesitation, he decided to go in person and say a few words of peace of mind in person.
