Chapter 80: Removing Armor from the Backyard
Wang Xifeng hasn’t appeared yet, but she’s already smiling!
After a moment, Jia Cong saw Wang Xifeng, who was dressed in brilliant embroidery and looked like a fairy, leading Li Wan and Qin Keqing to come.
Today's Wang Xifeng wears a golden eight-treasure bun, a five-phoenix hairpin with pearls, and a horse-faced skirt with a hundred butterflies in gold thread. She is so beautiful that it is dazzling.
Keqing standing aside was naturally also beautiful, but at this moment she was overshadowed by Wang Xifeng's beauty. Her beauty was bold and sharp, unlike other women who were so graceful and reserved. Such wild charm was like poison, making it difficult for people to control themselves.
Jia Cong's eyes flashed over quickly, "Two sisters-in-law, how dare I trouble you to greet me!"
"Isn't it that your uncle is back, and I, as your sister-in-law, should hurry up to please him!" Jia Cong's fleeting glance made Wang Xifeng's heart beat fast. If it were any other woman, she would be too shy to speak, but what kind of person is Wang Xifeng? The man in the pile of cosmetics not only did not dodge, but took two steps forward, "From now on, your sister-in-law will have to rely on you, the uncle, to support her!"
Jia Cong laughed out loud. Wang Xifeng, this little master of creating atmosphere, was indeed amazing. "Don't worry, second sister-in-law. In the capital, no matter what royal relatives or nobles they are, if anyone offends second sister-in-law, I will bring my personal soldiers to kill them and reason with you!"
Wang Xifeng also laughed when she heard this, and thought that this was what a man should be like.
"Sister-in-law, I just had a chat with Lan'er. She has made great progress in the past two years! But there is no need to be harsh on her. Now that I am back, let Lan'er come to find me when she is free!"
Li Wan hurried forward to express her gratitude.
Keqing, who was standing aside, had been staring at Jia Cong with her beautiful eyes. To be honest, she had never met Jia Cong formally, but she was extremely curious about her third uncle. After the female guard Qin Lian arrived and solved her biggest problem, she felt deeply grateful to Jia Cong.
"Thank you, Uncle San!"
Jia Cong gave him a fake support and just nodded with a smile, but didn't say much!
"Uncle, please leave quickly. The old lady has been waiting for you today and even asked the whole family to come and welcome you. Only you, the uncle, have the dignity to do so."
Wang Xifeng led Jia Cong into Rongxi Hall, only to see Jia's mother sitting on a high couch, with Xing, Wang, and You on her left and right! All the sisters and Baoyu were also on both sides. Except for Baoyu who was still looking around, the other sisters' eyes were all fixed on Jia Cong.
"Grandfather, your grandson is back!" Jia Cong stepped forward and was about to kowtow on one knee!
Grandmother Jia waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no! How can you kneel in the backyard wearing armor?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong bowed deeply!
Xing and Wang nodded slightly, but Youshi, the elder sister-in-law of the same generation, did not dare to neglect and returned half of the courtesy! She did not go out with Wang Xifeng and others to greet them because she was the wife of the clan leader after all, but as a peer, how could she dare to accept Jia Cong's full courtesy.
Grandmother Jia stood up and was supported by the two Xings as she came to Jia Cong. "Good, good grandson, you are finally back!"
"Now that the two mansions finally have someone who can make a difference, even if I, the old lady, go there now, I will have the dignity to meet the dukes..."
"Old lady, today Feng'er wants to refute you. You are the old centenarian who has come down to earth, and you have thousands of years of good fortune! Moreover, your grandson will soon be made a marquis or a duke. Please stop crying and talk about it later!"
Grandmother Jia made Wang Xifeng burst into laughter, "You monkey, I say one thing and you say ten things back to me. You better get out of here as soon as possible!"
After that, he turned to Jia Cong and said, "Come and meet your sisters!"
After hearing this, Jia Cong bowed to both sides and said, "Greetings to Second Brother Bao, and to all the sisters !"
Although he didn't say much, his eyes swept across the faces of the girls one by one.
Baoyu bowed, and all the sisters also bowed. Although they were all very happy, they didn't want to make a fuss because their elders were around.
"Old lady, I will go back to the courtyard to take off my armor first, and then I will come back to chat with you!"
Grandmother Jia pulled Jia Cong and said with a smile, "Grandson , your father and brother put on armor for you in the past, and today it is time for them to take off their armor for you too!"
"Zhen'er, the eldest, the second, Baoyu..."
"How dare I trouble my father and second uncle?"
"This is what they should do!" said the old lady firmly.
"Then let the sisters and I go first!" Jia Cong scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He couldn't wear ordinary linings when wearing armor for a long time, otherwise, it would be worn out in a day, and his body couldn't stand it, so he wrapped it with long cloth layer by layer. After taking off the armor, he naturally had to take off these strips of cloth.
There was nothing wrong with the lower body, but being topless was a bit embarrassing, especially in front of so many people.
It was rare for Jia Cong to show such a shy expression, which made everyone in the hall smile for a moment.
The old lady was about to speak, but Jia Lan bowed and said, "Third Uncle, our ancestors always taught us that today's wealth and honor are not easy to come by! In the past, our ancestors fought on the battlefield, and now Third Uncle is following their example. As a child of the mansion, it is wrong for us not to fight side by side with Third Uncle. Now that we have taken off our armor, how can we retreat!"
Hearing this, Jia's mother sighed, "Ah, Lan'er is right!"
"Lin girl, Shi girl, Bao girl, you guys go wait in the back first, the rest of you are fine, they are all sisters and relatives of the same bloodline..."
Although Daiyu and the other two were unwilling, they also knew that there was a difference between men and women, and it was indeed inconvenient for them to be here! As for Sanchun and the others, they were siblings of the same blood after all, so no one would say anything nonsense.
"Come, take off Brother Cong's armor!"
Jia Zheng and a few others, along with Baoyu, came forward and looked at Jia Cong's armor, but they didn't know how to start.
It cannot be said that the armor is dirty, but as Jia Cong had fought on the battlefield, it is not an exaggeration to say that the armor was soaked in blood. There are some dark stains on it that cannot be washed off at all.
Jia Zheng and his people are all 'untouched by ordinary water', how could they have touched such filthy things?
Especially Baoyu, who hid behind the three people and dared not look forward.
In the end, Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and stepped forward to help untie the belt around his waist. Seeing this, Jia She and Jia Zhen had no choice but to grit their teeth and step forward.
He took off the breastplate first, then turned around and saw Baoyu , whose face was pale. His eyes widened immediately and he said, "I'm busy here, and you're hiding away in the back?"
"Hold it!" Jia Zheng shouted angrily and placed the breastplate on Baoyu's chest!
Baoyu hugged it subconsciously, but then he felt a strange smell coming. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he threw the breastplate on the ground, turned around and ran out of Rong Xi Tang, and then vomited. The maids and servants guarding the door all gathered around him, making a mess...
