Just as Jia Rong and Qin Keqing entered the room, they saw two people supporting an old woman with silver hair on her temples to greet them. No introduction is needed, both of them bowed down to say hello. This should be Mrs. Shi, the wife of the second generation Rong Guogong of Xifu.

Jia Mu quickly pulled Mr. Qin up, looked her up and down carefully and said, "You are such a beautiful man. Rong'er is so lucky to marry you."

Everyone in the room cheered in unison, but Jia Rong, who was worshiping alone there, was left unattended.

"Rong'er, get up, are you still waiting for our ancestors to invite you?" A young woman with double red and phoenix triangular eyes next to Jia Mu gave her a step.

He recognized her with gratitude and saw that this person was about the same age as him, and he was dressed in brilliant embroidery. It was Sister Feng and Auntie Feng, whom he was most familiar with.

Sister Feng only said this, then she took Qin Keqing's hand and said, "Look at this great-grandson daughter-in-law of our ancestors. If you look closely, she still has the style of Sister Lin at home. No wonder Rong'er looked like a different person just after she walked in. It’s our family’s turn to be blessed.”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mother Jia smiled and glared at Sister Feng, not knowing the meaning of her words, and introduced to Qin Keqing: "This is your second aunt Lian. She has been the head of the children among Ronger and the others since she was a child. You can also call her Aunt Feng with Ronger."

Qin Keqing hurriedly apologized and called out: "Auntie, auntie", but he was wondering which sister Lin was.

Jia Rong on the side took a cursory glance at the people in the room. They were all girls and wives, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. I have seen this kind of scene take root among women many times, and I have become accustomed to it.

When Jia's mother took Qin Keqing to meet the two uncles She and Zhengjia, Jia Rong also led Qin Keqing to call the younger generation, an aunt on the left and an aunt on the right.

Even I can't tell which aunt is Yingchun, which aunt is Tanchun, and which is the aunt of the Lin family. All these eight or nine-year-old girls should be collectively called aunts.

Sister Feng couldn't help laughing when she saw it: "I only praised you when you know how to save trouble. This will be embarrassing."

Jia Rong just laughed. The age difference between these girls was only one or two years. He couldn't tell them apart, and he was afraid that he would call them by the wrong name. If his second uncle Bao were present, he would at least be able to recognize Lin Daiyu.

Just as he was thinking about it, a fat man with a face like the Mid-Autumn Moon suddenly ran out of the room.

The piece of jade that the fat man was carrying jumped up and down as he ran, which was particularly eye-catching. He ran to a girl who was panting slightly and her dimples were as sad as Xizi holding her heart, and said, "I heard that Brother Rong and his wife are coming over today."

Jia Rong felt happy and came just in time. She joined hands with Qin Keqing to go to his side and said, "I have met Uncle Bao."

Qin Keqing also called "uncle".

Unexpectedly, when Jia Baoyu saw the person next to Jia Rong, he couldn't move his eyes away for a while. His anger suddenly turned into shyness, and he hummed softly.

Damn it, another little sex batch? It’s just that my wife is too charming.

Unexpectedly, before Jia Rong responded, a delicate little loli next to Jia Baoyu became dissatisfied and reached out to pinch Baoyu's waist. Suddenly the little fat man let out a cry of pain, causing Qin Keqing to cover her mouth and snicker.

This time, the little fat man was even more stunned.

Jia Rong lamented that it was a pity that her frown was only that big at this time. Ignoring the little fat man, he pulled Qin Keqing towards the jealous little loli and introduced, "This is Aunt Lin."

Lin Daiyu retracted Baoyu's small hand from her waist and nodded with slightly red cheeks. She knew that the scene just now must have been seen by Jia Rong and his wife, and she was a little shy at the moment.

Qin Keqing thought that this was the sister Lin mentioned by Aunt Feng, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. Jia Rong thought of Yan'er's illness and paused for a while.

Lin Daiyu didn't want to mistakenly think that the two were laughing at her, so she snorted softly and ignored the idiot Jia Baoyu's heart-to-heart talk with Jia's mother.

The last two people who are not famous are one who is gentle and approachable, and the other who has outstanding features.

Just when she was not wondering which one was the Spring Festival, the girl with outstanding features smiled first. She came closer and said to Qin Keqing: "I am Brother Rong's third aunt. It would be best for you to come here more often in the future."

Naturally, the third aunt is here to visit spring, and the rest is for the second girl to welcome spring.

As soon as he saw the gift, Jia Rong was filled with emotions. In an instant, I remembered some parts of "Dream of Red Mansions". One was smart and capable, but in the end he could only look at the river with tears in his eyes; one was bullied by the servants on weekdays, and finally fell into the hands of the Zhongshan Wolf, which was the most heartbreaking.

Mrs. Qin and these girls and ladies soon became acquainted and chatted.

Jia Rong has gradually become one of the two ignored.

"Brother Rong? Let's go out." Another person who was left out came over, looking a little lonely.

"Are you having a conflict with Aunt Lin?"

Baoyu rolled his eyes, as if to explain that he knew something.

Jia Rong looked at the little fat man and remembered that in the book it seemed that this guy had lusted after Qin, and she suddenly wanted to scare him. He chuckled softly and said: "You came out of the clan school early today and let Master Zheng know about it, so he will inevitably find trouble with you."

Baoyu was stunned and immediately became nervous. He glanced secretly outside the room and whispered: "Brother Rong, don't tell the master that I came back this morning."

"Um."

The little fat man felt a little relieved when he saw Jia Rong nodding in agreement.

Suddenly, I heard Jia Rong say again: "But even if I don't tell you, the girls in the room and the maids outside the room will know that you are back. There are also those people in the clan school who will complain if they are not safe."

At this moment, the little fat man was really scared. Two lines of tears actually flowed from his eyes, and he murmured: "I have to go back, and I have to go back now."

As he said that, he hurried away.

There is only one word to describe it - fear of father like a tiger.

Although he felt a little child-like pleasure in retaliating against Baoyu, Jia Rong couldn't laugh. In the entire Jia family, who is not as fearful of his father as a tiger? Starting from the generation of Jia Jing and Jia She, they have always received a violent education, and beating and scolding are commonplace.

In fact, it is not just the Jia family, but the entire feudal society.

Even in the era when he lived, there was a legend about a pair of brothers from the Qing Dynasty who were beaten by the strict father's stick. At that time, it was regarded as the bible for raising children: If you are ranked last in academic performance, you will be beaten; if you are ranked second, you will be beaten; even if you only lose 0.5 points, you will be beaten.

If you don’t fight, you are not your own son.

Thinking about it this way, the behavior just now was a bit boring.

However, I don’t know why. Uncle Rong didn't naturally have a good impression of Baoyu, he only respected him because of his status and seniority.

There are all the Yingying Yanyans in the room, except for the elder ladies, even the maids serving next to them are all beautiful. Jia Rong was admiring it when Sister Feng came up to her.

Sister Feng said: "Why are you still here? Our ancestors want to keep your wife here to have dinner. You go back first."

…………

"outrageous."

"That's outrageous."

"Am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others? Think of me as that person."

"Obviously I just want to enjoy the beautiful scenery there."

In fact, although Jia Zhen is in charge of the Ning Mansion, Jia Rong is also responsible for some things. Not to mention that he was newly married and had a lot of things to do of his own.

Tomorrow, I have to take Qin Keqing back to the Qin family. This is a courtesy, and I have to prepare a ceremony. Although these matters are handled by Jia Zhen and You, they have to take care of themselves.

When I returned to Ning Mansion, I felt a little regretful thinking about going to see Jia Zhen.

Today, no matter how hard you talk, you can't fool Jia Jing back. You still have to face Jia Zhen on your own.

"Let's go back to the room first and think of a countermeasure."

As soon as I entered the yard, a girl came over and said it was the master who called me.
