Chapter 173 I Want It All
Jia Cong did not return to Ningzheng Hall directly, but strolled slowly with Qingwen along the plank road beside the lake in Huifang Garden!
With the breeze blowing towards him, Jia Cong spread out his cloak and directly wrapped Qingwen's small body in it!
Originally, she wanted to ask her master about Miss Lin and Miss Bao, but at this moment Qingwen was dizzy and pressed tightly against Jia Cong, and she forgot everything.
They stopped beside a water pavilion. Jia Cong hugged Qingwen's slender waist from behind and looked at the dark lake!
It was not unexpected that I opened my heart to Daiyu today. Throughout the whole book of Red Mansions, Daiyu, this fairy-like woman, is probably the biggest regret in everyone's heart!
However, in the original book, Daiyu is a little bit mean because of her parents' early death and living away from Jia Mansion! She can accept Xiren waiting by Baoyu's side because of the class difference , but she cannot accept Baochai's closeness to Baoyu. For her, love is everything to her, so this love must be selfish.
However, things have changed in this life. Lin Ruhai is still alive, so Daiyu always has someone to rely on. Her feelings for Jia Cong have evolved from curiosity to gratitude and then to love, which is a natural process. Naturally, there is affection between her and Baoyu, but this affection is that of childhood playmates.
If Jia Cong had not appeared, it would have been a natural thing for these childhood sweethearts to develop into mutual love. It's a pity that Jia Cong blatantly intervened.
When Jia Cong held her hand, Daiyu finally understood that her feelings for this third brother were different from those for Baoyu! She had never experienced that kind of passion, that kind of secret joy, and that kind of uneasiness in Baoyu.
In addition, Jia Cong now holds a concurrent position as heir, allowing her to break the last shackles in her heart!
And for Jia Cong, coming to the world of Red Mansions and letting this fairy die of tears is simply the greatest sin. Or is it just as he thought before, I want both the wooden and stone alliance and the golden and jade marriage!
As for whether his behavior was that of a scumbag, maybe it was, but in comparison, he would rather believe that he could protect these girls for a lifetime, but would never watch these girls go to their original fate.
He had already been awarded the title of Marquis Guanjun, so he was more qualified than Baoyu to stay by these girls' side.
Jia Cong lowered his head slightly and kissed Qingwen in his arms. This was not the first time he had been so intimate with this little girl, but she still went limp all over...
The next morning, although Baochai and Daiyu were extremely shy, they still came early!
Jia Cong was naturally delighted. It was impossible to say that these two clever girls did not understand the meaning of this. But they still came even though they understood. Wasn't this a way for them to express their feelings to him? Especially Daiyu, the little fairy, with her flushed cheeks but a serious look, really made people happy.
Originally, after Jia Cong was conferred the title of Marquis Guanjun, he would naturally have to open an ancestral temple to worship his ancestors. However, Jia Cong told Lady Jia last night that there was no need to rush and they should wait until they were better.
Three days passed in a flash, and early in the morning Jia Cong asked someone to harness a carriage to pick up the old lady from the West Mansion and others!
"Old lady, you can't leave today! I have asked someone to find a troupe to come over. After we have dinner together with the old relatives, we will go to watch the show. If you go back today, I will bring my personal guards to grab it from Second Uncle for you!"
Jia Cong's colorful clothes to entertain his parents made Jia's mother laugh out loud, "Okay, okay, today I will listen to you, little monkey, and the old lady will stay in your East Mansion for one night!"
"Sister-in-law and niece, quickly help the old lady onto the high bed. Be sure to watch out for the second sister-in-law, or she might steal our ancestor back!"
Except for a few people, most people were smiling happily!
"Old lady, since you are honoring your grandson today, I will also be extravagant for once! In addition to us, there is also a big banquet in the front hall, and most of the branches of our family have come. I'm afraid that everyone in our family will come to toast you in a while!"
"Brothers Lian and Bao and I will go to the front yard to make arrangements. They are all our children, so we can't neglect them!"
"Okay, my grandson is close to the clan, which is also their blessing! I'll do whatever you want!"
As he was speaking, someone came from the front yard to report that all the descendants from the side branches had arrived!
"Just go and do your work . You don't need to accompany me here!"
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, niece-in-law, and all the sisters, I will leave the old lady to you."
After saying that, Jia Cong came to the front yard hall.
Led by Jia Dairu, Jia Daixiu and other elders , dozens of people all knelt and bowed, "Greetings to the Champion Marquis!"
Jia Cong stepped forward and helped Jia Dairu and the other two up. "Hurry up, two great masters. Just because I'm crowned Marquis of Guanjun, does that mean I'm no longer your junior? Today the old lady said she wanted to have some fun, so she invited everyone here. After all, brothers fight together in wars, and fathers and sons fight together in battles. If I have any problems in the future, won't I need the help of my brothers?"
Jia Cong called them "Grandpa" not because of his generation, but because of the clan, because there was Jia Lan, they were the generation of Grandpa, so they were given such a respectful title. In fact, Jia Cong and them were grandfather and grandson.
Jia Dairu and the others were very satisfied with the clan leader they had chosen. They were satisfied that Jia Cong treated them the same way in his current capacity. But Jia Lian and Baoyu, who were following them, were indifferent to them.
"Jia Yun, why don't you guys help all the uncles up?"
After chatting for a few minutes, someone came to report that Wang Ziteng of the Wang family and the brothers of the Shi family had arrived!
"Chief, please go and welcome the guests first. We are all family here, there is no need to accompany us!" Jia Dairu said hurriedly.
Jia Cong nodded and took Jia Lian and Baoyu to the front yard.
As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I saw Wang Ziteng, Shi Ding and Shi Nai coming together, and behind them was a sedan chair.
"Third brother!"
Before anyone else spoke, Xiangyun's voice was heard from the sedan chair, and then Xiangyun came out of the sedan chair.
"This girl, I originally asked her and her two aunts to go directly to the back house to see the old lady, but she said you must be in the front yard, so she accompanied us here!" Shi Ding explained.
"Haha, when I came back the other day, I was wondering why I hadn't seen Sister Yun. It was my fourth sister who told me that you were taken back by your two uncles. Fortunately, you are here today, otherwise my third brother would have to go to the uncle's house to see you!"
Xiangyun happily stepped forward and directly embraced Jia Cong's arm, "Third brother, I heard from my uncle that you were awarded the title of Champion Marquis. Isn't that impressive?"
"Haha, if anyone in the capital dares to bully my sister Yun, I, the champion marquis, will definitely support you!"
