Chapter 899: Trouble at the Jia Mansion
(Daiyu)11 In the backyard of the Rongguo Mansion, in Lin Daiyu’s study.
When Lu Cheng came here from Rongqing Hall, Daiyu had already asked Zijuan to find out what happened outside, and the two were talking in a low voice.
Seeing Lu Cheng coming, Zijuan quickly stood up and bowed, then left the space to the two of them.
Daiyu also felt a little sympathetic towards Wang Xifeng at this time: "I really didn't expect it. Brother Lian and his wife seemed to be quite good friends on weekdays. Why did they suddenly start shouting for war and killing? Brother Lian is really a bit absurd."
"Yes, Second Brother Lian really went too far this time."
In fact, Jia Lian did go too far this time. Not only did he have sex with the servant's wife, but he also slept with her. How could Wang Xifeng, who had always been strong-willed, tolerate this? It would have been strange if she didn't make a scene.
However, compared with Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others, Jia Lian is considered to be a good candidate among the Rong and Ning mansions.
Jia Lian was indeed a playboy, but he would not seduce decent women, nor would he force them. Whenever he saw someone he liked, he would ask someone to give him gifts of gold and silver. If the other party agreed, he would continue, a fair deal. If the other party disagreed, he would not take them by force.
However, Jia Lian's vision is not very good. Although he is a handsome and elegant young man, he can do anything.
Bao Er's wife was of average appearance, a little old, and the wife of a servant, so Jia Lian didn't care about her.
There was also the female sea king, Miss Duo, who had played with all the men in the east and west mansions of the Jia family and had "tested" most of the men in the two mansions. She also had an affair with Master Lian. Jia Lian was also somewhat desperate.
Of course, this was also related to Wang Xifeng's close attention. Ping'er was obviously a legitimate maid, but every time she spoke a few more words to Jia Lian, she would be interrupted by Wang Xifeng.
However, in front of Daiyu, Lu Cheng certainly joined her in criticizing Jia Lian's immoral behavior.
The two talked for a while, and Daiyu couldn't help but sigh: "Second sister-in-law Lian usually manages everything in the mansion, and she is such a strong person. Now that something like this has happened, she must be embarrassed and angry. She is usually very nice to me, and she always thinks of me when she has something good. I will go over to accompany her later."
Lu Cheng nodded: "My junior sister is indeed a considerate, gentle and considerate girl who knows how to repay kindness."
Daiyu's lips curled up slightly, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, but she still snorted: "You want me to say it? As long as you don't do things like Second Brother Lian in the future, I will be satisfied."
Lu Cheng laughed: "I can guarantee that." He promised that he would never come here secretly, but would come here openly.
Then, Lu Cheng immediately changed the subject: "It's not convenient for me to come here during this period. I haven't seen Junior Sister for a while, so I specially prepared a small gift for her. I don't know if she likes it?"
As he spoke, Lu Cheng took out a long brocade box and handed it to Lin Daiyu.
Sister Lin opened it and saw that it was an exquisite hairpin. She quickly took it out and looked at it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She opened her mouth and ordered, "Zijuan, come here and put it on for me."
Lu Cheng reached out and took it: "Let me do it."
After saying that, Lu Cheng skillfully inserted the hairpin into Lin Daiyu's hair and took a mirror from the side for her to look at.
Sister Lin looked left and right, and couldn't help asking, "Zijuan, does it look good?"
"Of course it looks good. My uncle has excellent taste."
"You're the only one who talks so much."
After laughing and joking for a while, the two started talking about issues related to cultivation. Lu Cheng carefully checked Daiyu's progress in cultivation and left her a few intermediate body-building pills so that she could continue to strengthen her physique.
Daiyu is still young now. Although she has developed better than ordinary girls due to years of exercise and her muscles and bones are stronger, she is still not fully grown and is not suitable for practicing external skills. She mainly needs to lay a solid foundation.
After the age of fifteen, the tendons and bones are basically grown, and the internal strength will naturally take shape. At that time, by cultivating both the internal and external, you can quickly cultivate the bright and dark strength, laying a good foundation for the transformation of strength and the refining of marrow. In this way, before the age of eighteen, you will have the hope of transforming strength and becoming a master.
I don’t know what kind of weapon Lin Daiyu will choose in the future, a sword, a spear, a halberd, or an axe, a hook or a fork?
However, since Lin Daiyu is based on Baguazhang, it would be very appropriate if she held two swords or two Ziwu Yuanyang Yues.
In comparison, Xiangling's martial arts talent is slightly inferior, but she is more interested in poetry. Perhaps, in the future, she can be like Huo Ling'er in "Dragon and Snake Romance", enter the Tao through poetry and successfully hold the elixir.
After chatting with Lin Daiyu for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Lu Cheng had no intention of staying for dinner, so he got up and left the Rongguo Mansion.
After Lu Cheng left, Daiyu went straight to find Wang Xifeng.
At this time, Wang Xifeng was persuaded by Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang and others. Although she still felt aggrieved, she had nowhere to vent, so she was hiding in her room and sulking.
At the same time, Ping'er, who was being bullied by both sides, was hiding in another room and sulking.
As for Jia Lian, he also lost a lot of face after this commotion, so naturally he went somewhere else to drink.
When Wang Xifeng heard the maid say Daiyu was coming to visit, she quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes and stood up to greet her: "Sister Lin."
"Our little Feng has suffered a great injustice today. She is still angry, right? But don't get sick from anger. It's not worth it."
"Luckily, Sister Lin remembered to come and see me. You didn't see that cruel Lian Er today. He actually... He actually pulled a knife and a sword on me. If Cheng Ge'er hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid I would have..."
"Okay, okay, it's all in the past. Your ancestors will take care of it for you."
"Grandfather, she is only protecting her eldest grandson. Humph~ Let's not talk about this, Sister Lin, thank Cheng'er for me later. Your Cheng'er is still the best, he is knowledgeable and capable, and he knows how to care for his sister. He is nothing like that black-hearted Lian Er? For a whore, he actually wants to..."
Daiyu had never experienced such a thing before, and didn't know how to persuade her for a moment. She could only sit there and listen to Wang Xifeng's constant complaints, and occasionally give a word or two of comfort.
Finally, the old lady sent someone to invite them to the backyard for dinner. Only then did Daiyu get rid of Wang Xifeng's complaints and thought to herself that it would be better to stay out of such things in the future.
However, after this incident, the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Daiyu became better.
Because the old lady had said that the servants were not allowed to continue discussing the matter, the commotion was quickly settled.
However, Lu Cheng broke the sword in Jia Lian's hand with just two fingers. This incident was also very legendary and soon spread among the servants in the mansion.
At the same time, Ningguo Mansion was also very lively.
Since Jia Zhen's death, there was no one to control Jia Rong in the East Palace. Rong'er, who used to be dared to spit at the servants, became Rong Daye, and immediately began to discipline the servants around his father, and also had his eyes on the young and beautiful concubines left by Jia Zhen.
For this reason, Qin Keqing wanted to persuade Jia Rong, but Jia Rong directly retorted: "Mind your own business, I am the master of Ningguo Mansion now!"
Before Jia Zhen was alive, Qin Keqing had always been praised as a good daughter-in-law by both the East and West Palaces, but Jia Rong had always been beaten and scolded by his father.
In front of outsiders, the couple always acted harmoniously. But behind the scenes, Jia Rong had long been disgusted with his wife Qin Keqing.
The next morning, Emperor Changtai also received the secret report from the Jinyiwei. He couldn't help but wonder, "Is this rumor true? Did Lu Cheng really shatter a sword with just two fingers?"
"Your Majesty, this is the rumor, but its truth remains to be verified. There is also a broken sword blade here."
"Is there such a master among the Jinyiwei?"
"Your Majesty, it takes a lot of strength to break the sword with your fingers. Perhaps, the champion is born with supernatural powers."
