Chapter 81: Scars all over
Grandmother Jia was startled at first, and then her eyes showed deep disappointment! In fact, in her heart, even if Jia Cong was now a noble, his status was naturally not as good as Baoyu's. However, Baoyu's performance today disappointed her too much.
This throw not only embarrassed Jia Cong, but also embarrassed the ancestors...
Jia Cong raised his eyebrows. This Baoyu, no wonder the sisters in the original novel ended up like this! Baoyu is not a bad person, and even compared to other dandies, he is still a good one. However, as the next generation ruler of Rongguo Mansion, he has no sense of responsibility.
People have to take on responsibilities wherever they are in their positions, and no one can escape it! Unless one has the ability and strength to change everything.
Jin Chuan'er jumped into the well, Qingwen was expelled, which of these were not the women he liked on weekdays? But did he ever say a word for these women?
If he could be a little more tough in protecting her, given his position in the mansion, how could he not be able to protect her?
Daiyu died of tears, Baochai stayed alone in the empty room, and all the sisters fled and tried to escape. Which one had a good ending?
Maybe these sisters also have their own faults, but in the final analysis, isn't it because Baoyu, a man, cannot support the family and cannot provide these sisters with a support?
He seeks sorrow and hatred for no reason, sometimes he seems foolish and crazy, even if he is born with a good appearance, he is actually a wild man inside. He is poor and ignorant of worldly affairs, stupid and stubborn and afraid of reading articles, his behavior is eccentric and his personality is eccentric, so he doesn't care about the slander of the world!
Rich people don't know how to enjoy their work, poor people can't stand the loneliness, it's a pity that they waste their youth and have no hope for their country and family. He is the most incompetent person in the world, and the most unfilial person in history . I would like to advise the dandies and the rich not to imitate his behavior.
Many people in later generations praised Baoyu as a rebel in feudal society. But what did he do for this so-called rebellion?
Is it possible that a person who spends all day surrounded by women, who is neither good at literature nor martial arts, cannot make his parents feel at ease, and cannot support the family outside? If such a person is considered a rebel, then there are too many rebels in this feudal society.
Humans are social animals. Since they have concerns, they cannot be independent of themselves...
Jia Cong leaned over to pick up the breastplate and said calmly, "I am sorry for offending Second Brother Bao. It was inconvenient to wash during the march, so it is really dirty!"
Jia Zheng felt that all his reputation had been lost by that unfilial son!
"This evil creature, come here, bring a big stick!"
"Master, Baoyu has never seen such a horrifying scene, and he is already in poor health, so please spare him!" Wang hurriedly advised.
"Bang!" Grandmother Jia hit her cane hard, "Wang, go and look after Baoyu!"
"Feng girl, go call a few old maids in!"
"Grandfather, let Lan'er hold it for my uncle!" Jia Lan stepped forward and took the breastplate that was half his height. Then Tanchun glared at Jia Huan fiercely, and Jia Huan had no choice but to step forward. Only Jia Rong was left. After hesitating for a moment, he walked up with his nose lightly covered.
Several people managed to remove all the armor. Then, Jia Zheng took off the cloth wrapped around Jia Cong layer by layer, gradually revealing Jia Cong's chest and back.
Yingchun, Tanchun, Li Wan and Keqing half-covered their faces, looking a little shy. Wang Xifeng's heart trembled as she looked at Jia Cong's skin that was as hard as steel.
When the last layer of cloth fell, Jia She and Jia Zheng, who were closest to him, were all horrified, and saw that the new and old wounds on the skin were almost overlapping , some of which had turned dark, and some were still tender flesh. The scars looked horrible and hideous, but also particularly shocking.
Yingchun cried out in surprise, and then she covered her face and cried! Tanchun and Xichun also burst into tears. How much suffering and hardship did their brother endure before returning home?
But even so, there was no resentment on this brother's face, not even any pride, just a little shyness. Thinking about Baoyu's performance just now, it was simply incomparable.
Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and Keqing were all pale, and even Youshi and Xingshi were horrified! A moment ago, they were just thinking about Jia Cong's title, but now they know how he got .
Jia Cong's physique was indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people, but he was not invulnerable to swords and guns. How could he not get injured in all these fights? However, with the same injury, he recovered much faster than others.
Little Xichun hesitated for a moment, then ran forward, looked up and asked, "Third brother, does it hurt a lot? I'll give you all the fruits in my room, and you'll stop feeling the pain after you eat them!"
"Hahaha!" Jia Cong laughed loudly, "Okay, then Third Brother will wait for your fruit to be eaten."
The one who behaved the calmest was the old lady. She had obviously experienced such scenes many times in the past. So, although she was heartbroken, she was not as surprised as the others. It was obvious that she had expected it.
The old lady stepped forward, looked around at everyone and said, "The four kings, eight dukes, and twelve marquises all have the rule of taking off their armor in the back house. The reason why our ancestors set such a rule back then was to let the women in the back house know that wealth and glory are not easy to come by."
"Open your eyes and look at me. The scars on your body and the marks of knives and axes on your armor represent human lives! The wealth and luxury you enjoy today were earned by the men in the front yard at the cost of their lives!"
Everyone present was moved. Almost every man and woman present had heard about the deeds of the dukes, and the old lady also often taught them how to emulate their ancestors.
However, the old lady is saying it, the elders of the older generation are also saying it, and even Jia Dairu occasionally tells the younger generation in the clan school!
But no one really wants to do it, and most people just treat it as a joke.
But now, a person is really willing to risk his life and fight for wealth like his ancestors did. Everyone is shocked and speechless.
"Why is it so? Why is it so?" Jia Zheng was ashamed and shocked.
Jia Cong supported Jia Zheng and said with a smile, "Second uncle, if you want to bring glory to our Jia family, you should combine civil and military skills! Baoyu likes literature, and I should establish a family with military achievements! Only in this way, others will not dare to underestimate our Ning and Rong mansions."
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Xifeng, "Second sister-in-law, why don't you give Third Brother a set of clothes? You can't just watch me make a fool of myself like this!"
Wang Xifeng heard this, gritted her teeth, dragged Li Wan beside her, and moved her soft legs to the back hall. Not long after, she brought a brocade lining and a gorgeous gown!
Jia Cong rushed over and pierced through in no time. Feeling the strong masculine scent coming towards her, Wang Xifeng felt as if her heart was about to jump out. However, she could only grit her teeth and curse in her heart, "This wild buffalo..."
"Go, put the armor in the back hall for display. Congge'er doesn't need to go back to the courtyard. Just wash it in the warm room next to it!" After hesitating for a moment, Jia's mother continued, "Yuanyang, go and help Congge'er take a bath yourself!"
Obviously, in order to win over this promising grandson, Grandmother Jia cruelly used her ultimate move - the beauty trap!
