I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 126 Messenger
Jia Cong smiled slightly, then led Jia Huan into Qingfeng Tower and ordered a table of wine and food.

Jia Huan immediately started to eat and drink voraciously.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Jia Huan finally had time to say, "Third Brother Cong, do you know how sad I was when I heard that you were driven out of the mansion?"

"I cried in my bed for half the night. I thought I would never see you again in this life!"

"Brother Cong, it's great to see you again! By the way, is there anything you want to talk to me about this time?"

"Were you driven out of the house and have no money to spend? Well, I have saved more than a thousand dollars. Wait, I'll get it for you."

The last time Aunt Mei was sick, Jia Huan lent her more than a thousand dollars.

But it was returned to him soon afterwards.

This time, he once again took the initiative to lend out his own money.

Although the money was not much, it was all his savings.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I don't need to borrow money. I didn't come to you to borrow money."

"This meal costs more than a thousand coins."

"I came to you because I want you to help me pass on some letters."

"These letters are for your sister Lin, your second sister, your third sister, and your fourth sister. I'd like you to deliver the letters to them quietly and don't let anyone else know."

"If they reply, please come to my house quietly. I will leave the address for you when I leave."

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask in surprise after hearing this: "Third Brother Cong, you've only been kicked out of the mansion for a few days, and you've already settled down?"

"Did you buy or rent your yard? Is it big?"

There is nothing to hide about this. After all, Jia Huan still has to deliver the letter in person. As long as he goes once, he will know the size of the letter.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong couldn't help but say: "I bought this house. I didn't care how big it was. It only has five courtyards."

That house was actually given to him by Xue Pan.

However, it was not convenient to say it out loud at this moment, so Jia Cong had to say that he bought it himself.

After hearing this, Jia Huan's eyes widened and he said, "Wow, a five-story house! If this is not big enough, how big can be considered big?"

"Third Brother Cong, you can buy a house now, you don't lack money to spend now, right?"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "I don't have much money, but it's enough for my expenses."

Hearing this, Jia Huan's eyes turned and he suddenly had an idea.

He couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "Brother Cong, what kind of friendship do we have? It's a friendship of life and death."

"It's only natural for me to help you deliver a few letters."

"But now you have been expelled from the family tree and driven out of the house."

"If I secretly deliver the letter for you and the master finds out, I will be in big trouble. I'm afraid I will be severely beaten!"

"This, this is really difficult..."

Jia Cong looked at Jia Huan with a half-smile, took out a tael of silver from his sleeve, threw it in front of Jia Huan and said:
"I won't make it difficult for Brother Huan. How about using this little money to buy you some snacks?"

When he saw the silver, Jia Huan's eyes lit up and he put the silver away with a whoosh.

Then he said with a smile: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult. What kind of relationship do we have? Who is he to whom? Brother Cong, just rest assured. I will make sure that the letter will be delivered to you without anyone noticing. Just keep an eye on it."

Jia Huan took the silver and was in a good mood.

After dinner, Jia Cong gave his address and let Jia Huan go downstairs and leave by himself.

Jia Cong did not follow him downstairs.

After Jia Huan left, Jia Cong got up and returned.

After Jia Huan returned to the Jia Mansion, he really kept his promise.

He quietly sent the four letters to Lin Daiyu and Sanchun respectively.

In the Jia family, Jia Huan is a character hated by everyone.

He ran around the house, but no one paid any attention to him. After Lin Daiyu received Jia Cong's letter, her eyes lit up.

When Lin Daiyu heard that Jia Cong was removed from the Rongguo Mansion's family tree and was driven out of the Jia Mansion, she was really worried about Jia Cong.

But he had no way to find out Jia Cong's whereabouts, and he was always worried.

Maybe Xue Baochai knows something.

Lin Daiyu went to Xue's house twice, but they were not at home and no one knew where they went.

Now that she had received the letter from her third brother Cong, Lin Daiyu could not wait to return to her room and hurriedly opened the letter to read it.

Only when she saw that her third brother Cong was unharmed and had bought a house and settled down did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking down, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but smile when she saw that Third Brother Cong told her to continue developing new rouge and powder and her treatment would remain the same.

Although the third brother Cong has left the Jia Mansion, I still keep in touch with him!

Next, Lin Daiyu found the sachet she had just made.

Lin Daiyu originally intended to give this sachet to her third brother Cong.

But just when it was done, Brother Cong was driven out of the house, and she almost couldn't send it away.

Now is a good time to ask Jia Huan to deliver the sachet over.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu hurriedly found out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to write a reply to Jia Cong.

Soon, the reply was written and Lin Daiyu put the sachet back in.

Then he found Zijuan and asked her to quietly give the letter and the sachet to Jia Huan, who would then take them to his third brother Cong.

At this time, the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun also received letters from their third brother Cong.

When they saw that Jia Cong had been settled, they were very happy for the third brother Cong.

When they saw that Third Brother Cong said that the previous rules remained the same, they became even happier.

For them, making packaging patterns is not just about making money.

This is actually their career.

And this career made them feel their value.

Now that this career has not ended with the departure of Brother Cong San, how can they not be happy?
So, they also wrote their replies and secretly sent them to Jia Huan, asking Jia Huan to give them to their third brother Cong.

Now, his three elder sisters and one younger sister all asked Jia Huan to do things for them, which made Jia Huan even more proud.

……

After breakfast the next day, Jia Cong ordered several servants to load the gifts prepared in advance onto the carriage.

He took a few servants with him and went straight to the Mei Mansion with Aunt Mei.

The Mei Mansion is still south of their house.

And their yard is already the southernmost end of East Street.

In other words, Mei Mansion is located on South Street.

The west is rich and the east is noble, the south is poor and the north is imperial.

One can roughly guess the situation of the Mei family by their residence.

However, there are always exceptions to everything, and we cannot generalize.

As the carriage entered the South City and got closer to the Mei Mansion, Aunt Mei became more and more nervous.

It is more timid to be close to hometown, and I dare not ask people.

Jia Cong is now sixteen years old. Since Aunt Mei was taken into the Rongguo Mansion, she has not returned to her parents' home for seventeen years.

In seventeen years, Aunt Mei had no idea how much the Mei Mansion would change.
