Ning Guofu's carriage hurried toward Xifu in the moonlight.
The sound of wooden wheels grinding on stone slabs was particularly harsh at night. In addition, Brother Rong could also feel the two bodies on the left and right shaking and bumping against him.
When the car reached the northeast corner of Ningguo Mansion.
The little bird on the right side of Brother Rong rushed towards him. Before Mirai could react, he saw another figure rushing towards him in the darkness.
"How did you drive?"
Brother Rong cursed and hurriedly supported Yuanyang, who was supporting his legs. After passing the corner, the atmosphere in the car became awkward.
It wasn't until the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion that the group of people got out of the car, and everyone saw Yuanyang's face turning red with embarrassment.
Little Que'er looked at Yuanyang's chest and then at Uncle Rong's hands, humming in her heart that they must have done it on purpose. He just looked down at himself and couldn't help but sigh.
After entering the house, Brother Rong couldn't help but ask: "Miss, can you tell me the reason for the trouble today?"
Yuanyang blushed and did not dare to look at Uncle Rong. He walked back and replied: "I heard that the second wife was making trouble there because it was Master Bao who was beaten by Mr. Zheng. It seems that he is still talking to Bao about the free study. It’s related to the son of Grandma Li next to the second master.”
"The long follower who was born decent?"
Yuanyang said: "He was a decent person in the past, but for some reason, Li Changsui followed Mr. Bao and started causing trouble in the school. As a result, Mr. Duan from Yi Xue reported him to Mr. Zheng."
"What kind of trouble can a long follower do?" Uncle Rong said with a smile, "The long follower has to listen to his master after all. It was Uncle Bao who caused the trouble."
Yuanyang said: "It has something to do with Mr. Bao. It is said that when Mr. Bao was lecturing, Mr. Bao sat on Li Gui, and the two of them were still bickering. Mr. Li, who was lecturing, was so angry that he became ill. Duan The gentleman then took the two of them to Mr. Zheng to complain."
Baoyu is really lawless.
Jia Rong asked again: "I've been punished and beaten. It's just a trivial matter in the school, so why did you call me here?"
"The second wife feels sorry for Mr. Bao and wants to drive Mr. Duan away."
Brother Rong grinned and said with a sneer: "What does this have to do with Mr. Duan? Mr. Duan is also doing it for the good of the free school, but is it wrong to file a lawsuit instead?"
Yuanyang's face turned red again, and he said cryptically: "The quarrel between Mr. Bao and his eldest son Li Gui was not a quarrel. It is said that when Mr. Bao was pulled up, Li Gui had not yet put on his pants."
"hiss……"
Damn it!
Brother Rong's eyes widened, thinking that he had heard wrongly.
"Mr. Duan must have made a mistake."
Yuanyang said: "The second wife also said that Mr. Duan made a false accusation and ruined Mr. Bao's reputation, so she wanted to kick him out. But Mr. Zheng doesn't care about this matter, so we can only invite Mr. Xiaorong to come over."
During this period of romance, even if you actually see Baoyu and Li Gui sitting there, you can't make it public. Aren't you looking for trouble?
only……
Brother Rong suddenly asked: "Is it really Uncle Bao sitting on Li Gui? Isn't it Li Gui sitting on Uncle Bao?"
Yuanyang's face was filled with embarrassment, and he hesitated: "How could I know this? I heard the second wife say it when she was making trouble."
Something's wrong, something's wrong.
Jia Rong shook his head. Could it be that Duan Lang was really framed by Baoyu? Although Baoyu can't help being a man or woman, he still takes the initiative. How could he give himself to others? This is not in line with Baoyu's character.
This thing is so strange, it seems we need to investigate it carefully.
Yuanyang led Uncle Xiao Rong into the Hall of Rongxi and opened the curtain for him.
When Uncle Rong went there, he saw that there were people everywhere in the room.
The person sitting in the hall at the head was naturally Mrs. Shi, followed by the cold-faced Mrs. Wang. Next to them stood Li Wan and her son, and kneeling on the ground were Grandma Li and Li Gui, the eldest attendant beside Uncle Bao.
There were only a few maids in the room, and they were all kicked out by the old lady and Mrs. Wang.
When the old lady saw Jia Rong coming in, her face was kind. She smiled lightly and said, "Brother Rong is here to make noise at night. Brother Rong won't blame me, an old woman."
Jia Rong greeted the old lady and replied: "It is an honor for our great-grandson to be summoned by our ancestors. What is going on today? Why are there two kneeling on the ground?"
Brother Rong glanced casually. This Aunt Li is none other than Li Gui's biological mother, but also Jia Baoyu's wet nurse. It can be said that Jia Baoyu has been raised by Grandma Li since she was a child. Even Jia Baoyu has to respectfully call her mother when she sees her.
Therefore, Baoyu and Li Gui are considered half brothers. In private, Baoyu and Li Gui often call them "good brothers" several times.
Mrs. Wang put on a bad face and said: "There are no other things, but the clan's moral education needs to be rectified. I don't know where I invited the juren to taint my brother in the family."
As the saying goes, one official is half an official, and it is too late for every household to win over the official. How can you say such a thing.
Jia Rong secretly shook his head. Mrs. Wang is also a lawless master. If such words are spread, won't she offend everyone in the world? No, what is offended is all the scholars who want to take the exam for merit.
"What happened? I didn't have time to ask clearly on the way. Could it be that the two gentlemen from the Yixue school offended the brothers in the mansion?" Brother Rong pretended to be dumbfounded and looked at Li Wan and his son again.
Since the matter is related to the two gentlemen Yi Xue, Jia Rong will naturally mention Duan Lang alone. That Mr. Li came from the noble Li family of the Qing Dynasty and was Li Wan's uncle. According to seniority, Mr. Li is also of the same generation as Mrs. Wang.
He added: "Fortunately, the free school is not far from the mansion. Both gentlemen live in the back streets. Why not invite them both here now. Ask them in person and know what the matter is, and then draw a conclusion. It’s not too late.”
Li Wan said calmly: "Lan'er went to greet the old gentleman in the evening. He is probably still ill at the moment and may not be able to come over."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face darkened.
Why did Mr. Li get sick? It was her precious son and Li Gui who made her sick. When Li suddenly said this, didn't he mean that his good son was sitting and having fun with his eldest follower Li Gui in the school?
Brother Rong said again: "No matter what happens in the free school, these two gentlemen are responsible after all. Then invite Mr. Duan Lang here, and the two owners of the free school will also be called."
Seeing that Jia Rong wanted to make the matter known to everyone, Mrs. Wang's face became even colder and she only said: "Why bother inviting them? It's a fact that the person who has tainted Baoyu has a reputation. Just kick him out of the free school. "
"You have to ask clearly whether it is true or not. There are many children in the voluntary school, and I have to be responsible for them." Brother Rong replied neither humble nor arrogantly, and then looked at Li Wan and his mother, saying: "Brother Lan should be in the school today, specifically. How, I think Langeer knows it. Not only Langeer knows it, but all the students in the school listening to the lecture should also understand it. As long as I ask everyone tomorrow, the foundation of everything will be clear."
Jia Rong turned towards the old lady, wanting to see what she meant.
The old lady please sigh and don't want to get entangled with Jia Rong on this matter anymore. After all, it was about Baoyu's reputation. He said the same thing as Mrs. Wang: "Give that gentleman more money, and I won't want him to come here in the future."
"It's easy." Brother Rong responded, curled his lips, and said: "However, before driving Mr. Duan Lang away, we still have to find out the matter. As a teacher, you can slander a student's reputation. If you let him If the officials find out, Duan Lang will have no hope of career in the future. If he harbors resentment, he will accuse us of being bullied by the Jia family."
Mrs. Wang said urgently: "Then shut him up completely."
"How to shut up completely?" Jia Rong asked with a half-smile.
The old lady glared at the rude Mrs. Wang and said in a good voice: "But it's not that difficult. There is no need to make a fuss about the free study matter. It will be resolved privately at home and will not be spread out. Tomorrow I will get another thousand or two taels of silver from the house. Donate to Mr. Duan as a county official, and he will have no complaints."
Tsk tsk...
The Rongguo Mansion is rich, and they can donate thousands of taels of silver to others as officials, and they can take it as they please. If there were a few more people like this every year, I wonder how much money the Rongguo Mansion would have to spend.
Brother Rong said: "You have to ask the Second Master, and you also have to ask Mr. Duan whether he agrees with this solution. Although I am in charge of the free school, I can't be anyone's decision."
Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Rong coldly, wishing to skin him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why wouldn't a poor man like him not want such a good thing? If he has his own way, why should he come to our Jia family to be a teacher?"
Jia Rong did not answer her words, but asked: "The second great-grandfather is in the house, I will go and ask the great-grandfather what he means. If the second great-grandfather agrees to this method, I will send someone to tell Mr. Duan tomorrow."
Mrs. Wang was so angry that her teeth itched.
Then he glared at Mother Li and her son who were kneeling on the ground, and cursed: "Go back to your own yard, don't embarrass yourself here."
Jia Rong walked up to Li Gui curiously and asked, "Mr. Duan Lang really framed you?"
Li Gui trembled. He could still look decent in front of others, but in front of these serious masters, he didn't dare to tell even a lie. Trembling, I didn't dare to speak for a moment.
After seeing this, Uncle Rong had an idea.
He really didn't expect that Baoyu would actually hang out with Li Gui... No, the correct way to say it was that Li Gui would hang out with Baoyu.
Judging from Li Gui's appearance, he looked upright, and there was no trace of rouge on him. Why...could it be exactly what Yuanyang said?
Huh……
Jia Rong shuddered.
Why did Baoyu become like this? No wonder Qin Zhong's temperament had changed at that time, and Baoyu was still pestering Qin Zhong. It turned out that Baoyu changed his direction and changed his temper.
Thinking of this, Brother Rong smiled unkindly. Now that Baoyu has changed her temper, will she no longer care about anything else and have no thoughts about other women?
Brother Rong accidentally looked at Mrs. Wang's murderous eyes staring at him, and remembered that he seemed to laugh just now.
It's a bit too presumptuous.
After all, Jia Baoyu is his second uncle, how can he take pleasure in others' misfortune. I just feel sorry for Sister Lin. If she comes back and finds Baoyu like this, I don't know how sad she will be.
Brother Rong met Mrs. Wang's sinister gaze and said: "Although there is a way to solve this matter, it is just that the free school is a place for scholars after all. If anything happens in the future, justice must be dealt with."
