When Jia Zheng heard Jia Baoyu's cry for help, he immediately said: "Gag your mouth and beat her to death!"
When the young boy heard that Jia Zheng was so strict, he did not dare to neglect him. He immediately pressed Jia Baoyu on the stool, and someone brought a big stick and hit him more than ten times.
However, these servants dared not hit Baoyu hard, so they looked like they were being raised high. In fact, when they hit Baoyu, they only fell gently. Although there was some pain, not even the flesh was injured.
Baoyu knew that he couldn't beg for mercy, so he just cried. It was a good thing that he didn't cry. This cry made Jia Zheng pick up the clues. The cry was full of anger, and it didn't sound like he was being tortured.
Jia Zheng immediately stepped forward, kicked the palm of the board away, grabbed the board himself, and hit him more than a dozen times. Baoyu had never experienced such pain in his life. At first, he felt the pain from the beating, but he still screamed and cried. Later, he gradually
Weak and hoarse, unable to whimper.
Besides, at this time in the Rongxi Hall, several of Jia Zheng's guests had already hurried into the Rongxi Hall from outside. It seemed that they got the news from the servants and came to intercede with Jia Baoyu.
As soon as they came in, they saw that Jia Baoyu had been beaten very badly. They came over quickly, some hugged Jia Zheng's waist, and some grabbed the thick wooden stick to prevent Jia Zheng from being beaten.
Jia Zheng was helpless now that he was surrounded by all the Qing guests. In addition, when he saw that Baoyu's voice had gradually faded away, he felt a little unbearable. He could only throw down the stick in his hand and sit there with tears streaming down his face.
It was Wang Zuomei who was one of the Qing guests who came up to comfort him and said, "What can't be solved? Why should I be so angry?"
"You ask him what he did, and whether he can be spared or not! It's you people who have spoiled him all the time, and now he's here to try to persuade him! Tomorrow he'll be used to his father-in-law and regicide, let's see if you guys can do it.
Come to persuade?"
Wang Zuomei is considered a eloquent person among the Qing guests. Now she hurriedly came up to comfort her, "Why should I be sad, sir? The future will be my fault. With my cleverness and careful education, I will definitely achieve something in the future."
Not only was Jia Zheng not happy when he heard what he said, but he kept sneering. In Jia Zheng's heart, Jia Baoyu was a complete waste. Youdao saw that he was old when he was three years old. With Jia Baoyu's appearance now, he will be successful in the future.
, I wouldn’t believe it even if I beat Jia Zheng to death.
Yuanyang and Yuchuan'er, who were outside Rongxi Hall, had already known that something was not going well when Jia Zheng was about to take action. They both hurriedly ran to the inner house to deliver messages to their respective masters.
Only Xiren was left waiting anxiously outside the Rongxi Hall, crying constantly as he watched Jia Baoyu being beaten, but could not do much to help him.
As for Mrs. Wang at this time, she had just heard from Jin Chuan'er that Jia Ke had returned and was fighting with the loyal and obedient chief minister of the palace in the Hall of Rongxi.
Therefore, she put her heart in her stomach and sat down slowly on her bed, thinking that this time Baoyu had passed the test. She just didn't know what Baoyu had done this time, and he was able to work loyally and obediently.
People from the royal palace.
Mrs. Wang is also a little angry with Baoyu now. To be honest, her feelings for Baoyu are not more than those of Jia Zhu, so she does not always care about Baoyu like in Dream of Red Mansions.
In addition, Jia Baoyu himself did not live up to his expectations and only fell in love with those girls, so Mrs. Wang was also a little discouraged towards him.
Now Mrs. Wang is focusing on Jia Zhu. She only hopes that when his health is better, he can go out to work as an official and earn face for herself. Otherwise, she will feel a little guilty every time she sees Aunt Zhou. Although she is a decent person.
However, she was a little afraid of this concubine, which made her feel very humiliated.
Mrs. Wang had just sat down, and when she thought everything was fine, she saw Yu Chuan'er outside, running in like crazy. Before she could stop to take a breath, she said, "Madam, she's not good. I'm beating Mr. Bao. I just came." The fighting had already begun, but I don’t know what will happen now.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang didn't have time to go back to Jia Mu, so she hurriedly got dressed and went out. Regardless of whether there was anyone or not, she hurriedly helped a girl and rushed to Rongxi Hall. All the guests were so panicked that they couldn't avoid it. All of them could only He turned his back, not daring to look at Mrs. Wang.
Jia Zheng became even more angry when he saw Mrs. Wang coming in. He picked up the board on the ground and was about to hit Jia Baoyu again.
Jia Zheng now thinks that the reason why Baoyu is like this is because of Mrs. Wang's continuous connivance. Now seeing Mrs. Wang coming to persuade him, not only did he not extinguish his anger, but it only raised the anger that he had suppressed just now.
Mrs. Wang quickly stepped forward, hugged the board, and begged Jia Zheng, "Even if the master has a big problem, please let him go this time. I think he is young, and now he knows he was wrong."
Jia Zheng felt a little sad when he saw that Mrs. Wang was already quite old and even had some gray hair on her head. Now she was kneeling in front of him, pleading for this unfilial son.
Jia Zheng said helplessly: "That's it, that's all! You must be mad at me today!"
Mrs. Wang cried and said: "Baoyu has made a big mistake and deserves a beating, but you have to take care of yourself. Moreover, the weather is hot now, and the old lady is not in good health. If the old lady knows that Baoyu has been beaten like this, what if? If something goes wrong for a while, wouldn’t we as children be unfilial?”
Jia Zheng did not listen to Mrs. Wang and just said with a sneer: "Since I gave birth to this evil obstacle, the family has not been able to have peace for a while. It is better to kill him now to avoid causing trouble to the family in the future."
While the couple were talking there, Jia Zhu got the letter and rushed in from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jia Baoyu with blood marks on his back. And his mother, Mrs. Wang, was kneeling there holding Jia Zheng. Don't let go of the board in your hand.
Jia Zhu rushed forward and said to Jia Zheng: "Father, please don't do this. If my brother is wrong, let's educate him carefully. Even if he is broken, don't father and mother feel bad? Besides, how can the old lady explain it? ?”
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Zhu coming, he let go. Although Jia Zhu was not as good as Jia Ke, he was already a civil servant and could be considered successful. Therefore, Jia Zheng still gave Jia Zhu some face.
Moreover, Jia Zheng still holds some hope for his eldest son. After all, Jia Zhu is only in poor health. He has gradually recovered after being raised in the house in the past few years. Jia Zheng still holds on to the hope that if he is in poor health again, If he gets better, he can go out to become an official. In the future, he will inherit the Rongguo Mansion, which can be regarded as a bit of face. Otherwise, he may always bow his head in front of Jia Ke.
"You don't know what he did. Today, people from the Zhongshun Prince's Palace came to investigate. If your eldest brother hadn't been here, our Rongguo Palace would have lost its face to the Kingdom of Java." After Jia Zheng let go of the wooden board, he sat down. I kept sighing there, thinking why I gave birth to such a ungrateful son. My other sons were not like this either.
Jia Zhu quickly pulled a boy from the side and asked carefully what happened.
The boy actually saw everything that happened outside the Rongxi Hall, and now when he saw Jia Zhu asking about it, it was as if he had learned it all over again.
Of course, there are also some things that add fuel to the fire, such as the ambiguous relationship between Jia Baoyu and this Qi official on the ground. After all, this kind of thing is the most eye-catching in every dynasty. Even if there is no trouble, people still speculate about each other.
Besides, Jia Baoyu made such a big fuss.
Jia Zhu was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that Jia Baoyu would have such a hobby at such an age.
After Jia Zhu heard this, she couldn't help but look at Qi Guan on the ground. She felt a little distraught at this sight. This was not a man, he was really more feminine than a woman. If he were wearing makeup, he would be really beautiful.
Jia Zhu looked at Qi Guan and couldn't help but compare him with Li Zhi. This made her feel that Qi Guan was more beautiful. Although Li Zhi's color was not bad, it was still a little less beautiful than Qi Guan.
Jia Zheng was originally waiting for Jia Zhu to come over and persuade him a few words so that he could get off the donkey. But when he looked up, Jia Zhu was looking straight at Qi Guan who was lying on the ground.
Jia Zheng's anger that had just been suppressed came up again, and he roared: "Come here, pull this monster out and strangle him to death."
Jia Zhu woke up when she heard Jia Zheng's voice. She couldn't help but feel ashamed that she had been fascinated by a man just now. When she heard that her father was going to pull Qi Guan out of the underground and strangle her to death, she felt that it was a bit too much.
Yes, after all, this is a human life.
"Father, you must not do this. This is a human life. Our family has always been a philanthropic family. How could we harm someone's life just because of something like this?" Jia Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade Jia Zheng, fearing that he would do something in anger.
Something irrational.
After Jia Zheng listened to Jia Zhu's persuasion, his mind turned around. Although the man underground had signed a contract of sale with his family, it was a human life after all. If he really strangled him, the government would definitely
I need to give an explanation.
While everyone was trying to persuade Jia Zheng, they suddenly heard the maid outside say: "The old lady is here."
When Jia Zheng heard that it was Jia's mother who had arrived, he felt a little regretful. He did not expect that he would alarm his mother by disciplining his son.
Jia Zhenggan hurriedly took Mrs. Wang and Jia Zhu out of the Ronxi Hall to greet them.
As soon as they arrived at the door of Rongxi Hall, they saw the old lady already in front of the door. As soon as she saw Jia Zheng, she said in a trembling voice: "You beat me to death first, and then beat him to death, then you will be clean!"
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Mu's trembling appearance, he felt anxious and painful. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Jia Mu himself, "It's such a hot day, why should the old lady come here? If you need anything, please send someone to tell me, son."
It will be done naturally.”
Mother Jia was supported by Jia Zheng, looking at his face that was full of tears just now, and now she reluctantly apologized to herself with a joke. She also felt uncomfortable in her heart. This son is the most filial to her, and she listens to her in everything at home.
Yes, he has never been disobedient to himself, and now he felt a little sorry for him.
"Is this a lesson to my son? I have never taught you a lesson like this when I was alive. Can Baoyu withstand your deadly attack like this?" Jia's mother asked Jia Zheng several questions in a row, leaving Jia Zheng wondering how to answer.
