One hundred and twentieth eight chapters out of place
When Jia Cong and his little maid Lingque came to Lixiangyuan at noon, they saw a lively scene.
There is a large round table of finely carved mahogany in the main hall. Aunt Xue is sitting on the main seat, with a phoenix egg next to her. The aunt and nephew are smiling and saying something righteously.
Sanchun and Daiyu sat on both sides, while Xue Baochai stood on one side and directed the servants to serve tea and snacks, looking very happy.
"Ha, brother Cong is here!"
Seeing Jia Cong, Aunt Xue greeted him with a smile. How could she be reluctant at all?
"I've met Madam, as well as all your brothers, sisters and sisters!"
Jia Cong smiled as he greeted each of them, took the guest of honor seat, and said with a smile: "I feel sorry for asking Madam and Sister Xue to bother so much for such a trivial matter for me!"
"What are you talking about? This is what it should be!"
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Brother Cong, too. If you didn't tell us earlier that it was your birthday a few days ago, we would have to postpone the celebration!"
Aunt Xue smiled and said nothing, while the Phoenix Egg, Sanchun and Daiyu next to her had slightly subtle expressions.
These few people had been invited before, but they never expected that they would be celebrating Jia Cong's birthday.
Weird thoughts inevitably arise in their hearts. It's not that they are heartless, but they feel that the Xue family is so 'flashy' and seems to be trying to please them.
By the way, in the entire Rongguo Mansion, the only one worthy of the Xue family's fawning is the old lady. Even the second wife is not very qualified.
Is Jia Cong, the concubine of a wealthy family, worthy of such high regard from the Xue family and their daughter?
"I didn't expect it to be your birthday a few days ago. Don't be surprised if you didn't celebrate it!"
Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu spoke hurriedly, smiled at Jia Cong and said: "But it's not bad to celebrate your birthday now, and my sisters are all here!"
Damn, as long as he has a bunch of sisters and sisters by his side, he will probably be content and have no regrets.
Sanchun and Daiyu said some blessings, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Thank you, thank you, you are so considerate!"
Jia Cong laughed, accepted all the blessings from everyone, waved his hands and said: "Brothers, sisters, and sisters, there is no need to be polite. I didn't take the initiative to visit you on your birthday, so it's my fault!"
By the way, Miharu is really pitiful.
The old lady only paid attention to Phoenix Egg and Lin Daiyu, so Sanchun had to step aside.
Apart from other things, apart from themselves and their personal maid, who cares about Sanchun's birthday alone?
To be blunt, people who are not valued as much as Yingchun and Xichun can hardly even get a bowl of longevity noodles on their birthdays.
It can only be said that Rongguo Mansion's culture of favoring superiors and suppressing inferiors is not limited to subordinates.
The Xue family put a lot of thought into this banquet, so Jia Cong naturally felt at home. Including Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu were all very happy.
After they had eaten and drank enough, Aunt Xue left early, leaving the young boys and girls to have fun on their own.
Jia Cong was quite grateful for Aunt Xue's initiative to receive her. He would pay it all back to Xue Pan in the future. I think this is what Aunt Xue wanted.
Without her elders by her side, Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, was accompanied by a group of sisters who were as beautiful as flowers. She was almost going crazy with joy.
As for Jia Cong, the so-called "longevity star", he has long been thrown out of the sky.
Fortunately, Jia Cong didn't take it too seriously. In other words, he, Phoenix Egg, and all the other sisters really had nothing in common.
Listen to what they said, about flowers and grass, poems and lyrics, and playing with pairs and the like. It's full of the atmosphere of a talented person and a beautiful lady.
It's not that Jia Cong couldn't answer the conversation, after all, he had read a lot of poetry and books, and his cultural accomplishment was definitely not bad, but he just found it boring.
He is not like his elder sisters who are locked up in Rongguo Mansion. They are in a small circle that is extremely familiar to them all day long. That's all he can say.
Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, is full of girly vibes. She can chat with her sisters and even become the most dazzling one among them.
Damn...
Seeing such a harmonious and harmonious scene, Jia Cong didn't know what to say.
With such a temperament, how could he sustain the rapidly declining Rongguo Mansion?
Of course, this is an issue that the old lady should consider. Jia Cong has no intention of getting involved in the power of the Rongguo Mansion. He just wants to leave when he gets older and start a new business. What happens in the mansion has little to do with him.
Xue Baochai was indeed an all-rounder. While actively participating in Baoyu and Sanchun's discussions, he also did not forget to take care of Jia Cong, the 'longevity boy'.
"Brother Cong, what are you usually busy with?"
"What else can I be busy with? It's just running around between ethnic studies and bookstores, working blindly!"
"Brother Cong is joking. Who doesn't know the name of 'Third Young Master Cong'? Brother Cong is now a famous novelist in the capital!"
“It’s been praised so much that I really can’t afford it!”
While they were being polite, Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu suddenly came over for some unknown reason and asked curiously: "Third brother, was that book "The Richest Man in the World" really written by you?"
As soon as these words came out, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu, who were chatting softly, also looked over, obviously very curious about this topic.
In the past two months, there has been a trend of "The Richest Man in the World" in Beijing. Even the ladies in wealthy families have heard of it, and some have even read the entire book.
Obviously, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu should have seen or heard the plot, otherwise they wouldn't be so curious.
"Of course!"
Jia Cong was a little confused and didn't understand why Phoenix Egg suddenly asked this?
"Why did you write such a novel? It's full of filth and filth. It makes people feel disgusted just by looking at it!"
Phoenix Egg is direct and looks confident when he says this.
The originally harmonious and joyful atmosphere in the room came to a halt. Sanchun, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai all looked at the Phoenix Egg with subtle eyes.
"Why don't you write this?"
Jia Cong was not angry, and said funnyly: "I can't write about talented people and beauties. What can I write at my age?"
As soon as this statement came out, there was a burst of laughter.
This is indeed the case. Jia Cong is too young. Even after his birthday, he is only eleven years old. Despite his appearance, he is actually an out-and-out young boy.
This is why after the novel "The Richest Man in the World" came out, others thought it was Wang Ziteng or Lin Ruhai's secret guidance, but few thought it was Jia Cong's personal behavior.
A burst of laughter swept away the awkward atmosphere in the room. Under Xue Baochai's deliberate guidance, he did not talk about the novel "The Richest Man in the World", but talked about the arrangements and activities for the New Year and the Lantern Festival. His voice was clear and chirping, okay?
