Red Mansion Jia Enhou

Youshi sent the second son of the You family out, and the second son's face was full of happy smiles.

Without any effort, he got a three-story courtyard in the capital, which would be worth 18,000 taels of silver if placed outside.

His niece knows how to do things.

There was also calculation in Youshi's eyes when she looked at the second son of the You family.

If you take this yard, you will have to face that Niang San, and that Niang San is not easy to deal with.

You returned to You's home.

The next morning, Mrs. Xing packed herself up and rushed to You's house.

Jia She told Lady Jia that he was going to marry Youshi.

There was a look of dissatisfaction on Grandmother Jia's face. Jia Zheng had been exiled, so why would he marry?

There's no point in marrying her. Will it look good just by showing her off?
There is also the matter of proxy marriage, which sounds unreliable.

"The second brother is now exiled. Can't the You family's marriage be cancelled, eldest brother?"

He also wanted to return it, but the You family was unwilling to do so.

After all, it was the Rongguo Mansion that let down the girl.

Now people say that my daughter’s reputation has been affected because of Jia Zheng’s affairs, and that the other daughters in the family have also been affected.

Then the Rongguo Mansion will be responsible.

Jia She bowed to Lady Jia.

"If I could back out, I wouldn't agree to such a ridiculous thing."

Grandmother Jia frowned. Why couldn't she retreat?

The You family was just a family of minor officials, and the eldest sister of the You family was just an orphan who had no father and lived with her stepmother.

Isn't it easy to cancel her engagement?
"Don't worry about this, Boss. Call the You family over."

"I'll talk to them!"

Jia She was silent.

A man lives by his face and a tree lives by its bark. If you really cancel the marriage with the You family without knowing the reason.

What do outsiders think of their Rongguo Mansion?

"This marriage must be concluded. Not only must it be concluded, but it must be concluded with great fanfare."

"Boss!"

Jia She made the decision immediately. Originally, the Rongguo Mansion had canceled the marriage because Jia Zheng was in the wrong, and he used his power to pressure others.

Why is Jia She still hanging around in the capital?
What do outsiders think of Rongguo Mansion?

It would be better to marry Youshi, either as a decoration or as a helper. It will only be a matter of adding two more pairs of chopsticks.

"I came here today to inform mother. Now that I have informed you, I will leave."

Jia She bowed to Lady Jia and left.

Outside the open door of Rongguo Mansion, a person was wandering around.

Liu Changqing, the sergeant of the assault battalion who was no longer childish and pulled the whole battalion of people to escape punishment, was released as a free official after completing all the military merits.

At this moment, he was standing outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion, holding something in his hand, and was hesitant to go in.

Menzi noticed him early in the morning, but because he didn't do anything unusual, he didn't send anyone to arrest him.

"Has the person left?"

The old doorman in charge asked the young doorman who was looking outside. The young doorman looked at the figure who was still wandering around, turned around and shook his head at the old doorman.

"He didn't leave. Who is that person?"

"Why are you always hanging around in front of our house?"

The young doorman asked the old doorman curiously, and the old doorman raised his old eyes.

The man looked unfamiliar, how did he know him?

But most likely he is not a good person.

"Go find the master and tell him that there is a man whose background we don't know guarding our door."

"Let the master come and have a look!"

The old doorman instructed the young doorman that it was a rare opportunity to show up in public, so the young doorman bowed to the old doorman and ran off to find Jia She.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but shake his head.

Zhenzhen teaches his apprentice and starves himself to death. Now everyone knows the importance of showing up in front of the masters in this mansion.

The old man was still staring out the door.

Liu Changqing could clearly feel someone's eyes on him, but he didn't know who was looking at him.

This is the wisdom of the older generation.

The gatehouse was also cleverly built so that people inside could see clearly what was happening outside.

Only when people outside get closer can they see clearly that there is someone in the gatehouse.

Otherwise they will just think there is no one in it.

Liu Changqing looked suspiciously at the small hole in the wall next to the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

The old doormen at the doorway were used to this, and when they looked inside they were only suspicious.

People outside still don’t know whether there is anyone inside.

The old man just looked at Liu Changqing like this.

Liu Changqing also sat down across the street from Rongguo Mansion, looking at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Now he needs some money, and Jia Zheng says he will give him the money if he helps him pass the letter to his mother.

Liu Changqing took out the letter from his arms again and looked it over.

I didn't notice anything special.

But the old lady of Rong Mansion is really rare.

After entering the capital city, he inquired about the Rongguo Mansion in detail.

The Rongguo Mansion is like a sieve. If you don’t know, you might think it is a theater for performances and plays.

There is a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.

The entire Rongguo Mansion was quiet for a while because Duke Rong was away on the expedition.

As for Jia Zheng
Liu Changqing looked down at the envelope in his hand.

That was not a good thing either. Liu Changqing, who had known this for a long time, was still a little shocked by Jia Zheng.

If my brother says to harm you, then I will harm you; if my family says to harm you, then I will harm you.

He even dared to protect his enemies.

A gentleman has things he takes and things he doesn't take. If he wasn't in urgent need of money, he would never help him.

Liu Changqing put on the straw hat in his hand.

It looks a little special among the people walking on the street.

The doorman saw Jia She and told him about the strange big man squatting outside the Rongguo Mansion and refusing to leave.

A strange big man, squatting there and not moving.

The corners of Jia She's mouth twitched.

It feels a bit outrageous.

Could it be the emperor’s men?
"What are the characteristics of that person?"

The young gatekeeper tried hard to recall Liu Changqing's appearance.

"My Lord, I am dressed in rags, with a pair of worn-out shoes on my feet. I look like a beggar."

"Give him some food and let him go!"

Jia She gave instructions to the gatekeeper.

"Master, don't you want to go and take a look?"

The gatekeeper looked at Jia She in shock. Jia She glanced at the gatekeeper who seemed to have strong objections to his decision.

He was dressed in rags and had been standing at the gate of Rongguo Mansion for so long. It was obvious that he was a young man who had just arrived in Beijing.

Any experienced person would never do something that lasts so long.

"Give him a meal and send him away."

Jia She gave orders to the gatekeeper.

Following Jia She's order, the gatekeeper retreated.

As he walked, he felt that what Jia She did was inappropriate.

That person definitely had no good intentions. He either wanted something from Rongguo Mansion or was an enemy of Rongguo Mansion.

"How about it?"

"Is the master coming?"

The old man lit the pipe in his hand and asked the young man, who shook his head at him.

"Master, give that man a meal and drive him away."

The old man nodded slightly.

"Go buy that man some cakes."

The old man opened the drawer and took out a few copper coins to give to the young man.

The young man looked at the copper coins in his hand with disgust.

"The manager couldn't give more. He said a few cakes, but it was really just the money for a few cakes."

The younger man held the copper coin in his palm, and the older man hit the younger man on the head with his pipe.

"Just shut up!"

The pipe hit the little boy's head. The man who got hit grimaced but didn't dare to say anything. He just went to buy some cakes alone.

After the cakes were bought, Xiao Menzi brought them to Liu Changqing.

"Beggar, you've been staring here for so long, it's time to leave."

"This cake is for you. This is Rongguo Mansion. Don't stay here. You will disturb Rongguo Mansion."

"My master will give you a bite of food, and I will beat you to leave."

Xiao Menzi patted Liu Changqing on the shoulder. Liu Changqing, who was squatting, glanced at the pancake in Xiao Menzi's hand. "Take it!"

The waiter handed the pancake to Liu Changqing again.

"I'm not begging for food."

Liu Changqing opened his mouth, and his voice became hoarse as he hadn't drunk any water all morning.

The young man got angry when he heard what Liu Changqing said.

"If you're not begging, what are you doing in front of the gate of Rongguo Mansion?"

"This is Rongguo Mansion. You dare to stay at the gate of Rongguo Mansion like this. Do you know that this is a capital crime with bad intentions towards the Duke's Mansion?"

Liu Changqing was silent.

The waiter took back the cake given to Liu Changqing with an impatient look on his face.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Liu Changqing is just like that dog-skin plaster, still sticking there.

Xiao Menzi pushed Liu Changqing to the ground and became arrogant and domineering.

"Don't you understand me telling you to get out?"

Liu Changqing's expression began to change, and Xiao Menzi kicked Liu Changqing in dissatisfaction.

Bai made him worry for so long.

"Grow up a little more and stop squatting at the entrance of Renmin University!"

"Bah, scum!"

Xiao Menzi warned Liu Changqing that he was a gangster in the city who had lost his money and wanted to extort money.

Liu Changqing was not affected and was thinking about how to deliver the letter to the Rongguo Mansion.

The young man returned angrily.

"That's not a beggar."

"Not a beggar?"

There was a flash of surprise in the old doorman's eyes. If he wasn't a beggar, what was he doing squatting opposite the gate of Rongguo Mansion?
"Go and call that man!"

The old doorman gave instructions to the young doorman.

There was a look of reluctance on the little doorman's face. He came back and went out, went out and came back again. Without even having time to catch his breath, he could only obediently go to the gate and call Liu Changqing again.

This time the old man came out in person.

"who are you?"

"Why are you squatting at the gate of Rongguo Mansion?"

The old man looked Liu Changqing up and down and questioned him. Listening to the old man's questions, Liu Changqing wanted to answer.

However, the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them. Jia Zheng had warned him before.

If you meet someone from the Rongguo Mansion, do not expose yourself if you can, otherwise you won’t get a penny.

"I'm from out of town. This is my first time in Shenjing. I just want to find a place to sit and rest."

After resting for a morning, I arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Liu Changqing is not good at lying, and the old doorman's eyes are full of distrust towards Liu Changqing.

"Don't tell the truth!"

The old man's eyes began to turn unfriendly when he looked at Liu Changqing.

"This is the truth!"

Liu Changqing wanted to leave, but was surrounded by servants ordered by the old man.

"What a lunatic! What on earth are you planning to do standing at the gate of Rongguo Mansion?"

The old man asked Liu Changqing, but Liu Changqing didn't say anything.

The old man lost all his patience and directly ordered Liu Changqing to be arrested.

Liu Changqing was shocked.

"Let me go, let me go!"

"I am an honest citizen, just waiting at the door. Why are you arresting me?"

The old man didn't say anything.

Just let someone take him away.

Liu Changqing was dragged into the Rongguo Mansion by the servants. This time, it was the old gatekeeper who went to Jia She in person to talk about Liu Changqing.

Listening to the old man's narration, Jia She frowned.

Looking at it this way, there really is something wrong with that person.

Liu Changqing was dragged to Jia She's study, where Jia She sat on a high seat.

He looked at Liu Changqing carefully, and it was not until his messy hair was parted that Jia She saw the words engraved on his face.

This is the word "prisoner", which means that this person used to be a prisoner.

Still a serious prisoner.

Jia She's brows were tightly furrowed.

Why is a serious prisoner squatting at the gate of Rongguo Mansion?

"Let the man go!"

Jia She gave orders to the servants, and they let go of Liu Changqing. Liu Changqing's face was full of dissatisfaction.

The man was released by Jia She and snorted twice at the servants on both sides.

Jia She looked the man up and down.

"who are you?"

Listening to Jia She's questions, Liu Changqing remained silent.

"Did not say?"

Jia She's eyes fell on the tattoo on Liu Changqing's face.

"You must have just been released. You have a bright future ahead of you, but you don't know how to cherish it."

"Go report to the police!"

Jia She gave orders to people.

"The capital has its own rules. You have been squatting at the gate of Rongguo Mansion for such a long time. The Duke may suspect that you have bad intentions."

"If you report it to the authorities, you will be arrested again."

Hearing Jia She's words, Liu Changqing immediately snorted coldly.

None of these high-ranking officials are good people.

"Search him to see if he has any weapon that could harm anyone!"

Jia She gave instructions to the servants again.

The servants hurriedly started to search Liu Changqing. Seeing this, Liu Changqing quickly protected his chest and then began to beat the servants.

Jia She looked at him in shock.

Seven or eight people couldn't control one person. This guy must be a martial artist.

Jia She made a decision in his heart.

"who are you?"

It was not until the personal soldiers that Jia She kept at home arrived that Jia She stood up from his chair and asked again.

Liu Changqing had disheveled hair and was forced to kneel down, looking up at Jia She.

"Who I am is none of your business, Lord."

It's so out of control.

Jia She couldn't help but laugh. It was not up to you to decide whether to take care of it or not.

"master!"

Jia She took the envelope from his personal soldier. There was no name written on the envelope.

Jia She opened the letter directly in front of Liu Changqing.

After seeing the contents inside, Jia She was shocked. It turned out to be Jia Zheng.

Even though they were exiled as criminals, they still asked others to help them pass messages.

Jia She looked Liu Changqing up and down. This man actually helped Jia Zheng.

"Take it down!"

Jia She wanted to check Liu Changqing's identity, so Liu Changqing was taken to the woodshed.

"let me go!"

"let me go!!"

Jia She shouted for no reason, and was pondering Jia Zheng's letter in his mind.

I was still too kind to him.

Jia She's eyes fell on the envelope on the table again, and then he glanced at Rongqing Hall where Jia's mother was.

"Send this letter to the old lady."

The servants, unsure of what Jia She was going to do, looked at him in shock.

"Master, this is the second master's letter for help. Why did you give it to the old lady?"

Jia She glanced at the servant who was speaking.

"If you're told to do this, just do it."

Jia She wanted to see how Lady Jia would react when she saw the letter, and also to see whether she would really choose to settle down.

"Yes, sir!"

The servant took the envelope written by Jia Zheng and personally delivered it to Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall.

In Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother was talking to Jia's mother in private about the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren.

"Baoyu, do you like your sister Lin?" (End of this chapter)
