Chapter 16 The More Complicated World of Red Mansions
Bu Wuniang talked to Jia Yun for a while and then left Jia Yun's small bedroom. She didn't want to disturb her son who was currently studying martial arts diligently and reading.
The small bedroom became quiet again, and outside the window there was still the bleak autumn wind, autumn rain, but the sound caused by the wind and rain, to Jia Yun's ears, accentuated the quietness in the room.
Jia Yun sat down at the old small desk again and continued to read "Grandson".
However, a moment later, Jia Yun heard a cry from the small courtyard outside the window: "Where is Jia Yun?"
Jia Yun subconsciously thought that another branch was coming to make trouble. When he immediately heard the voices of Bu Wuniang and the caller, Jia Yun recognized that this person was Jia Rong, the only son of Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion.
"What's Jia Rong doing all of a sudden?"
Jia Yun frowned. Although she didn't know the answer for a while, she could tell that the person who came was not good!
Jia Yun had not had much contact with Jia Rong before, and Jia Yun also knew that he had received great favors from Jia Zheng, making him a sensitive figure in the Jia family. Jia Rong's sudden visit at this time must be due to bad intentions.
Jia Yun stood up from the small desk, preparing to go out to see what was going on. As soon as she reached the door, the door was pushed open from the outside. The person who pushed the door was Jia Rong, and there were several servants standing behind him.
Bu Wuniang was anxious and angrily stopped by two servants. She looked at Jia Yun at the door and said in an aggrieved tone: "Yun'er, I want to stop them, but I can't."
Jia Yun smiled slightly: "Mom, it doesn't matter."
After saying that, Jia Yun looked at Jia Rong face to face.
Jia Yun smiled and said hello: "Cousin Rong is such a rare visitor. I wonder why you came to see me suddenly?"
Although Jia Yun is now a young boy, and Jia Rong is also a boy, Jia Yun has a delicate appearance and a long figure. Jia Yun also has a delicate face, a charming figure, a light fur belt, and beautiful clothes.
Both of them are the sons of handsome men, and they are both children of wealthy families, especially Jia Rong, who has an extraordinary status.
The two of them standing face to face, if placed in Jia Yun's previous life, it would be a bloody scene in a popular TV drama. I don't know how many women and girls will be fascinated by it and their hearts will flutter.
Even the youthful look of the two men was attractive to many women and girls of that era.
Jia Rong snorted, ignored Jia Yun, and walked into the door without permission. Jia Yun looked on with a smile and did not stop her.
After Jia Rong walked into the small bedroom, he looked at the environment inside the room and showed disdain. This bedroom was too simple for him.
In terms of "extremely extravagant and lustful", Ningguo Mansion is even worse than Rongguo Mansion. Although Jia Zhen often blames and humiliates Jia Rong, Jia Rong's material life is definitely very luxurious.
Jia Rong then took a look at the small desk and found that there were several books on the desk. One of them was still open. It was obviously Jia Yun who was reading it. Out of curiosity, she walked over and picked it up and looked at the title of the book.
"Grandson? Haha, Jia Yun, are you really planning to take the martial arts exam?" Jia Rong sneered.
Jia Yun still smiled: "My cousin was not born rich like you. My family's situation is really poor, so I had to bite the bullet and try my hand at martial arts."
"I don't expect to be very prosperous in the future. If I am lucky enough to win the martial arts examination, it can at least improve my mother's and my life."
After saying that, Jia Yun asked again: "I wonder why cousin Rong is looking for me?"
Jia Rong smiled coldly, threw "Sun Tzu" back to the desk, and looked directly at Jia Yun: "You won't be able to laugh after you say it. I think you don't want to take the martial arts test of Lao Shizi."
"I came here today on the order of Mr. Zheng to get back the one hundred taels of silver from you. Mr. Zheng also said that he promised you from the bottom of his heart and recommended you to go to the Niu Family Martial Arts School in Zhenguofu.
It doesn’t count anymore.”
Jia Yun put away her smile after hearing this. Even though he judged that Jia Rong's visit was not good, the severity was still beyond his expectation. For him, this situation was undoubtedly too bad.
Jia Yun quickly calmed down and looked directly at Jia Rong: "Why did Mr. Zheng do this?"
Jia Rong sneered and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that on the day you came to see Mr. Zheng, people from the West Mansion were in our East Mansion to celebrate Mr. Jing's birthday."
"The eldest wife of Xifu was at Tianxiang Tower listening to a play and drinking wine. After hearing your news, she sent a woman to Ningxixuan to tell Mr. She and my father that both Mr. She and my father were dissatisfied with you, so they both wanted to
Let Mr. Zheng take back his life."
"In addition, in the past two days, there have been people from the Second Mansion who have been going to the West Mansion to trouble Mr. Zheng. They all want to imitate you and ask for favors. Mr. Zheng has been impatient. Today, Mr. She and my father are looking for him together.
If you kill Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng will take back his life."
Jia Rong, who was born in Ningguofu, did have some accomplishments in being "smart and eloquent".
However, he is a playboy after all, and now he is a somewhat naive boy. He also looks down on Jia Yun at all, and resents Jia Yun in his heart. Now he deliberately tells the truth to provoke Jia Yun.
This means that Jia Yun, Jia Zhen, and Jia Zhen are dissatisfied with you, and Jia Zheng is no longer willing to protect you. From now on, not only will you no longer want to take the martial arts examination, but you will also have no place in the Jia family.
Jia Rong originally thought that after saying these words, Jia Yun would be frightened and uneasy, and her face would look like earth.
The result disappointed him. After hearing this, Jia Yun just frowned and simply replied: "Okay, I understand. Cousin Lao Rong came to inform me of the news."
"Logically speaking, I should treat my cousin to a cup of good tea. However, my family has always been poor and embarrassed. We do have tea, but it is a bit coarse. If I give it to my distinguished cousin Rong, it would be disrespectful to you."
Obviously, Jia Yun suppressed her temper again, making her temper as weak as her ability.
The truth told by Jia Rong is not complete, but Jia Yun can dig out one missing piece of truth.
The truth behind this omission is that after hearing the news about him, Mrs. Xing sent her mother-in-law to tell Jia She, which meant that Mrs.
In the original work, there is a couplet hanging in the upper room of Ningguo Mansion, which reads: Insight into world affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing.
It means that having a clear understanding of worldly affairs is also a kind of knowledge, and being familiar with human relationships can make a difference.
Jia Yun both likes and dislikes this couplet.
What I like is that this couplet makes sense and explains the sophistication of the world very well. What I hate is that this couplet is too realistic.
I hate it, but Jia Yun has lived in that era for thirty years in her previous life. After graduation, she lived in a very high-level society, and her skills in human relations and sophistication have been greatly polished.
So now, he can dig out the missing truth about Mrs. Xing from Jia Rong's words.
However, he did not expect that in the past two days, there had been constant troubles with Jia Zheng from side groups, and Jia She and Jia Zhen's troubles also had an instigating influence on this matter.
It doesn't matter if you didn't expect this. Jia Rong's words were enough to present Jia She and Jia Zhen as villains in front of Jia Yun, and it was enough to make Jia Yun hold grudges against Jia She and Jia Zhen.
In addition, Jia Yun has already seen that Jia Rong is also dissatisfied with him.
He and Jia Rong didn't have much contact before, and there were no holidays between them, but the way Jia Rong came to his door today clearly showed his hostility towards him.
"I was also drunk, but I just got a favor from Jia Zheng. Although a place in Niu's martial arts school is very precious, one hundred taels of silver and the annual tuition of fifty taels are not enough for Ningrong's second house.
It doesn't matter, why did Jia She, Jia Zhen, Mrs. Xing, and Jia Rong all become dissatisfied with me all of a sudden?"
Jia Yun felt depressed and puzzled. At this moment, he realized that the world of the Red Mansion was more complicated than he expected, including the monsters in Ning Rong's second mansion.

ps: When I wrote the previous chapter "Remembering Grudges" last night, my thoughts were confused, resulting in some mistakes, which were corrected last night. For example, it was not the third room that Jia Yun held a grudge against, but the Jin family and Jia Xiao.
