I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 49 Jia She Sends Qiu Tong Away

Let’s talk about Jia Huan. He became flustered immediately when Jia Cong looked at him like this.

He lowered his head and said, "Third Brother Cong, I was just joking. I didn't really want to take this dish back."

"Who are we? How can we do such a thing? Third Brother Cong, let's go now."

Jia Cong stood up, patted Jia Huan on the shoulder and said, "This dish is what we left over. It would be disrespectful to Aunt to bring it back for her to eat."

"It's rare that you have such filial piety. How about this? I'll ask the restaurant to make two more servings, and I'll take one back for my mother."

After saying that, Jia Cong really called the restaurant waiters and asked them to make two more servings of Eight Treasures Tofu, and then packed them in lunch boxes for them to take away later.

After giving the order, Jia Cong turned around and found Jia Huan with his head down, rubbing his eyes with his hands, tears falling down his face.

Seeing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Brother Huan, what's the matter? Could it be that I didn't entertain you well enough?"

Jia Huan wiped his eyes and sobbed, "Third Brother Cong, except for my mother, no one has ever been as good to me as you are. I just couldn't help it for a moment..."

"Brother Cong, from now on, you are my best brother! If you need anything in the future, I will go through fire and water and stick my neck out for you without hesitation!"

This guy must have listened to too many operas, right?
However, he could probably understand Jia Huan's mood at the moment.

Jia Huan was raised by Aunt Zhao since he was a child. As a bastard, and because he was raised astray by Aunt Zhao, he has great flaws in his character.

As a result, he was hated by everyone in the Rongguo Mansion, and even the little maids disliked him.

He lacks friends and love.

Being good to myself in school is actually just looking for a follower to gain psychological satisfaction.

At that time, he didn't really treat himself as a friend.

Later, as I traveled through time, the status of the two people gradually underwent subtle changes.

Until today, my small action has deeply touched the softest part of the heart of this lonely child who has never had any friendship.

That's why he was moved to tears.

Jia Cong patted Jia Huan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huan, from now on, we will be the best of brothers."

"Don't worry, if I have a mouthful of meat to eat, you will definitely have a bone to gnaw on! If I have a bowl of porridge to eat, you will definitely have a bowl to wash."

Jia Huan burst into laughter after hearing Jia Cong's words. With tears still on his face, he scolded with a smile: "Third Brother Cong, I treat you as my own brother. But you frame me like this. How can I have a brother like you?"

Soon, the dish was ready.

The two of them returned to Rongguo Mansion carrying the food boxes.

Not long after Jia Cong arrived at Aunt Mei's courtyard, Jia She's maid came with a message saying that the master wanted the third master to come over.

Aunt Mei was so frightened that her face turned pale. She thought that what happened yesterday was not over yet and this was another attempt to make up for it.

She insisted on following Jia Cong to meet Jia She.

It took Jia Cong's persuasion to persuade him to stop.

In the end, Aunt Mei sent Cai'er to follow behind, and asked her to come back immediately to report if the eldest master really wanted to beat the third master.

Jia Cong followed the maid in Jia She's room to Jia She's courtyard, and Cai'er followed behind them.

Although Jia Cong didn't know why Jia She called him, he felt that he shouldn't be asked to go over and beat him.

If they really wanted to beat him, they shouldn't have sent a little girl to call him, but should have sent a few servants to catch him.

Soon, Jia Cong came to Jia She's room.

When Jia Cong saw Jia She's happy face, he became more certain that he was not being beaten.

Jia Cong could not help but bow and said, "My son greets you, Master."

Jia She laughed and said, "Cong'er, come and sit down and talk. You are a very good person. Thanks to you for telling me what happened yesterday. Otherwise, I would have been deceived by that dog servant Wu Xindeng." "In our house, we always reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes. This time you have made a great contribution, so your father will naturally reward you handsomely!"

"This one hundred taels of silver, as well as this maid Qiu Tong, are all given to you by your father as a reward! In the future, if you find any housekeeper in the mansion cheating on his superiors and subordinates, just come and tell your father. Your father will definitely reward you."

Jia She actually gave himself a reward, which was beyond Jia Cong's expectations.

However, Jia Cong soon realized that this old man must have tasted the sweetness of this house search.

So he took out some silver to reward himself so that if he ever had any evidence against anyone else, he could just come find him.

He would only get more silver by confiscating the property.

From this point of view, this old man is indeed greedy.

However, what Jia Cong did not expect was that Jia She's other reward was to give him Qiu Tong.

This old guy is really ridiculous. Although Qiu Tong is nominally his maid, he has already taken control of her.

Now he actually wanted to give this girl to his son. Jia Cong really didn't know what to say.

Besides, Qiu Tong is not an easy person to get along with.

In the book "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia She actually gave Qiu Tong as a reward to his legitimate son Jia Lian - well, it was also a reward to his own son.

And this Qiu Tong is very tough.

Not only was she used as a gun by Wang Xifeng, but she also forced Jia Lian's second wife, You Erjie, to death.

Moreover, after You Erjie's death, she still dared to confront Wang Xifeng. Even Wang Xifeng was helpless against her for a while.

And even before Jia She gave her to Jia Lian as a reward, Jia Lian had already been flirting with her.

Jia Cong didn't want to take over such a fierce woman.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong hurriedly said, "Master, you are so kind to me, I shouldn't refuse."

"But now my child has put all his energy into studying, and having a maid named Hongxiu by his side is enough for him."

"Besides, with Second Brother Lian before him, even Second Brother Lian has not received any reward from the master, so how dare I ask for this reward?"

Speaking of this, Jia Cong suddenly had an idea.

He suddenly thought of what Jia Huan said in the restaurant.

When Mrs. Wang complained about herself to Lady Jia yesterday, Wang Xifeng exaggerated the matter and put all the blame on herself.

Since she did it on the first day, don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth!

Jia Cong couldn't help but think of a brilliant idea, and he couldn't help but say:
"I dare to give this girl to Brother Lian. I only want a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and I will be satisfied!"

Looking at Jia She again, he couldn't help but become even happier when he heard that Jia Cong was so sensible.

Of course, this is also under the premise that he is in a good mood. As long as Jia Cong is not too presumptuous, Jia She will think that what he says is very good.

If he is in a bad mood, it is a different matter.

Jia She could not help laughing and said, "Okay, okay! I'll do as you say and give Qiu Tong to your brother!"

"Brother Cong, which of the maids beside me do you like? If you like one, your father will reward you!"

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "Master, I don't want a maid. I just want two things."

Jia She couldn't help asking, "Oh, which two things do you want?"

Jia Cong said softly: "Monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!"
