I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 182: Submission
Now, he had just helped Daxia win Caogu County not long ago, and had already caught the attention of Emperor Yonglong.

And more importantly, he is now Prime Minister Kou's disciple.

What does Yuanchun rely on in the palace?
No, what good would it do her if she offended me?
It doesn't do her any good.

Therefore, Jia Cong concluded that Yuanchun would definitely not do anything to him.

……

At this time, in Rongguo Mansion, Grandmother Jia became more and more angry and furious the more she thought about it.

That evil creature actually rode on her head.

Tolerable or unbearable.

At this moment, Grandmother Jia really wanted to go to the palace to find the Empress Dowager and complain about that little beast.

But unfortunately, she didn't dare to do so.

Because Jia Cong's title and his status as the head of the Jia family were bestowed by the emperor.

If she went to the palace to sue Jia Cong, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Emperor Yonglong?
If they do this, will the Jia family end up with anything good?

Thinking of this, Grandmother Jia became even more angry.

Next, she hurriedly sent someone to the palace to inform Yuanchun in detail of what had happened in the Jia family.

Jia Mu's people were one step faster than Jia Cong's letter and told Yuanchun the news first.

After hearing this, Yuanchun also became furious.

This Cong brother really has no idea of ​​respect and does not know the rules.

Not only did he contradict the old lady in public, he also disobeyed her orders and even sent Baoyu to kneel in the ancestral hall.

If he is not severely punished, he will probably become even worse in the future.

Yuanchun was thinking about how to punish him.

However, after thinking for a while, Yuanchun couldn't think of a good solution for a moment.

It is true that she is the imperial concubine.

However, in reality, the imperial concubine did not have much authority of her own, but only because of her noble status, she was merely riding on the momentum of being the emperor's concubine.

However, Jia Cong was the head of the Jia family chosen by Emperor Yonglong himself.

Can I use my power as an emperor to suppress him? Of course not.

Use clan rules? Jia Cong is the head of the Jia family, so naturally he can't be disciplined.

Of course, Yuanchun can also use one last trick.

She could directly issue an imperial decree to punish Jia Cong. The orders issued by the prince, queen, concubines, and crown prince were called "imperial decrees."

As an imperial concubine, she is not without any authority.

But if she really did that, she and Jia Cong would become enemies.

It will also inevitably trigger internal strife within the Jia family, making outsiders laugh at them.

It is also extremely detrimental to her reputation.

Her title was Consort Xian De, which means both virtuous and virtuous.

If we do this, where is the virtue? Where is the morality?
At this time, Yuanchun received another letter from Jia Cong.

After opening Jia Cong's letter and reading it, Yuanchun's face showed a thoughtful look.

After a while, she placed Jia Cong's letter directly on the candle flame and burned it to ashes.

In the letter, Jia Cong did not apologize or make any excuses.

In addition to objectively describing what happened today, Jia Cong also recounted the various bad behaviors of the children in the Jia family.

After calming down, Yuanchun suddenly felt that having Jia Cong as the head of the Jia family might be a blessing for the Jia family.

Thinking of this, Yuanchun began to order the palace maids to grind ink.

Next, Yuanchun wrote a letter.

This letter was written to Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang.

In addition, she took some other things and ordered the eunuch to take them to Ningguo Mansion as a reward for Jia Cong.

……

It is said that Jia Baoyu knelt in the ancestral hall for a full hour before he was released.

Although Jia Baoyu was beaten by Jia Zheng every now and then throughout the year, he had never suffered such a hardship.

After he left the ancestral hall, his knees were swollen and he could no longer walk, so he was carried back by two servants.

After returning, it naturally caused another commotion, which is needless to say.

Grandmother Jia brought him good news.

She has already told the Empress in the palace what happened today.

Grandmother Jia told him to wait patiently, saying that it would not be long before the empress would punish Jia Cong and let him move into the Grand View Garden.

After receiving this news, Jia Baoyu finally felt relieved.

For him, being able to live in the Grand View Garden is of utmost importance.

Only by living in the Grand View Garden could he spend every day with his sisters.

He continued to pester Lin Daiyu, because he didn't believe that Lin Daiyu was really so heartless that she would really ignore him.

Jia Baoyu was so absorbed in thinking about how to please Lin Daiyu that the pain in his knees suddenly lessened a lot.

Not long after, he suddenly heard a piece of news that was like a bolt from the blue.

It turned out that the empress in the palace not only did not punish Jia Cong, but instead rewarded him with a gold and jade ruyi, two imperial new books, and two boxes of precious ink.

Upon hearing the news, Jia Baoyu felt very uneasy.

He didn't mind Jia Cong getting the reward.

What he cared about was whether he could still move into the Grand View Garden and play with his sisters.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly sent someone to ask Grandmother Jia.

Not long after, Jia Baoyu received news that made him feel like he had lost his parents.

The Empress sent a letter saying that she had been inconsiderate before and let Baoyu live in the mansion and study hard.

After hearing the news, Jia Baoyu was struck by lightning and became completely hopeless.

Done!Done!
He couldn't even move into the Grand View Garden!
He couldn't continue to play happily with his sisters!

In this case, it would be better to die!

It’s all the fault of that bastard Jia Cong!

The more Jia Baoyu thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more aggrieved he felt, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this time, Jia Mu and Wang Fu-ren read Yuanchun's letter and were also filled with hatred.

Because in the letter, Yuanchun advised them not to continue making trouble, as it would be bad for everyone.

They were even asked to win over Jia Cong and ease the relationship between the two governments.

Grandmother Jia was so angry that her teeth were almost broken, and Mrs. Wang was so angry that she almost fell down.

In this matter, how could they have offended Jia Cong?
It was obvious that Jia Cong had offended them badly.

Now they were asked to win over that little bastard? To ease the relationship between the two governments?

How could they swallow this?

However, to them, the affairs of the Empress in the palace are the most important.

Only if Yuanchun sits safely in the palace can their Jia family become more prosperous.

Therefore, they must obey the Queen's words.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother gritted her teeth and ordered someone to go to the storehouse to find two pieces of the best soft smoke silk and send them to the East Palace.

Mrs. Wang also sent some supplements to the East Palace.

The actions of Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang almost broke the waists of the masters and servants of the East and West Mansions.

They never imagined that Third Master Cong would disobey the Empress's orders, contradict the old ancestor in public, and even make Baoyu kneel in the ancestral hall for a full hour.

In the end, the Empress gave me a reward.

Even Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang took the initiative to send gifts.

It's okay, Your Majesty.

What Jia Mu and Wang Fu Ren did was clearly a sign of submission.

I wonder what Master Cong San did to make the old ancestor and the second wife give in?
