Chapter Nine, Slap.
Madam, if there are some blind individuals who provoke your anger, simply give them a good beating; after all, they are just a few cats and dogs, what is there to be concerned about?
It is simply because Jia Huan's father is present here, making it inconvenient for him to directly discipline.
It is truly astonishing that she could like Jia Huan
Bang
Jia Huan's gaze was clear; although he was merely a seven-year-old boy, he was able to maintain a demeanor that was neither servile nor arrogant
However, it was not long before the prominent figures of the Jia family hurriedly arrived, even though no instructions had been given by the mandarin ducks.
His mind was buzzing, and his first reaction was: Damn, are you daring to mess with me?!
Dissociative Disorder
It seems that Jia Zheng is extremely angry, and a shadow flits behind the door curtain, leaving one to wonder whether he has truly gone to summon the family law.
However, his words nearly drove Jia Zheng to the brink of fainting, as his handsome face twisted into a purplish-black hue. From the situation, it was evident that he was still unaware of Jia Huan's affliction with the 'soul-separation syndrome'
However, seeing that she could not be bothered to respond to Wang Xifeng's inquiring gaze, nor did she pay any attention to the lewd expression of the chubby boy across from her, Jia Huan felt a sense of relief.
Sitting to the right of Grandmother Jia, Lin Daiyu, who had been wiping away Grandmother Jia's tears with a handkerchief, suddenly turned her head and spoke
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it felt frozen. Jia Huan glanced innocently at the handsome uncle in front of him, then looked at the mute Jia Mu and the indifferent Wang Fu Ren, and also cast a glance at Jia Baoyu, who was cowering like a frightened quail. Finally, he focused on Wang Xifeng, who was smiling at the corner of her mouth while whispering to Lin Daiyu.
After the door curtain was lifted, several men strode in
Wearing a top hat, adorned in a luxurious purple brocade robe, exuding grandeur and elegance
Jia Huan numbly wiped the corner of his mouth and looked down, discovering a streak of crimson
Indeed, without waiting for him to say anything, Jia Zheng, who was following him, automatically stepped forward, pointing angrily at Jia Huan and shouted: "You wretched creature, you are simply lawless. Speak! What outrageous and treasonous act have you committed to infuriate our ancestor to such a state? If you cannot provide a reasonable explanation today, I will personally execute you, this unfilial beast."
But now, because of Jia Huan, she has no choice but to abandon a multitude of matters to come and comfort Grandmother Jia
Indeed, I must say, each one presents a remarkable appearance and exudes an extraordinary demeanor
But how could a person not even recognize their own father? Such an act is utterly outrageous
Outside the door stood an unknown number of maids and servants, who at this moment were all making greetings and bowing in a flurry, creating a noisy and chaotic scene
She was initially smiling and coaxing the old lady, but then suddenly changed her expression, sharply reprimanding Jia Huan with a fierce tone, her eyes blazing with anger
Jia Huan found himself feeling somewhat nervous, and in a hurried attempt, he forced a smile, only to realize that the other person had already turned their head away
The leading middle-aged and elderly comrades are likely Jia She, who holds the highest age and title in the Rongguo Mansion
Jia Huan naturally had no interest in witnessing the family rules of the Jia family; if Jia Zheng could even beat Jia Baoyu to the brink of death, how much more so could he do the same to this illegitimate son
Most importantly, this kind of charm will absolutely not evoke any feelings of disgust, not even from the most sanctimonious moralist.
The first to arrive in the morning was Wang Xifeng, who had a brief meeting with Jia Huan.
As Wang Xifeng had not yet arrived, her voice was heard in advance. The several old maids and young maidservants behind her remained outside waiting. After she lifted the door curtain and entered, she glanced at the still wailing Grandmother Jia, who was holding Jia Baoyu, and then looked towards Lady Wang, who was comforting her.
Are you tsundere
However, before Jia Huan could relax, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the room
However, the fleeting thought of retaliation that just arose in his mind was extinguished before it could take shape, not because he cared about the virtue of filial piety, as he had no impression of this cheap old man at all. Rather, it was because the thin, stick-like arms before him indicated that he was very likely unable to win the fight.
Following him was a young man, who should be Jia Lian, the eldest and most distinguished young master of the Rongguo Mansion's current generation, also displaying a demeanor of remarkable elegance and distinction
Cut it out! Isn't she just a little girl of around ten years old?
At this moment, the three individuals all bore solemn expressions. The elder gentleman, Jia She, approached and first knelt to pay his respects. Without waiting for Jia Mu's response, he stood up and disregarded the greetings from Wang Xifeng, Jia Baoyu, and Lin Daiyu, who were beside him. He looked at Jia Mu with concern and asked, "Mother, what is the matter with you?"
Following closely behind him is likely his father, Jia Zheng, who presents an image of a handsome middle-aged man
As the most esteemed person in the Jia household, Grandmother Jia's loud weeping caused a commotion that exceeded Jia Huan's imagination
Madam Wang gently patted Grandmother Jia's back while subtly shaking her head at Wang Xifeng to indicate that there was no major issue. She also cast a glance at the innocent-looking culprit Jia Huan standing nearby.
Your esteemed self, upon weeping, fills the entire courtyard with blessings. It is indeed fortunate for us to be able to share in some of these blessings by being close to our ancestors, but those with lesser fortunes do not have such a fate. In all matters, excess can be detrimental; therefore, I implore you to show some compassion towards them, so that they do not suffer beyond their means
Jia Huan did not pay attention to Lin Daiyu's defense for him, yet he was stirred by her voice, causing his whole body to tremble
Jia She followed Jia Mu's hand and looked at Jia Huan, his brows immediately furrowing and his gaze becoming sharp
Jia She, Jia Zheng, and others were even more incredulous
Since we are currently unable to compete, it is more important to keep a low profile and seek survival. Jia Huan stood up feeling somewhat dizzy, casually straightened his clothes, then looked up at Jia Zheng and innocently asked, "Who are you?"
Although I have envisioned the image of the men of the Jia family countless times in my mind, at this moment, none of them match.
Old Third, I have to say you are like a high-legged chicken, unable to stand on the stage. In the past, even when you acted foolishly, it was only in front of me and your brothers. This time, you fell ill and seemed to have forgotten everything from before; I thought you had become more sensible. Who would have thought it would only become more frustrating? How dare you act wild in front of the old lady
So amazing, so thrilling, isn't it
Jia Zheng, Jia She, and Jia Lian all stared in astonishment at Jia Huan, who wore an innocent and pure expression, their faces filled with doubt
Oh dear, what has happened? Ancestor, today is a good day, you must not be sad
Upon seeing this, Wang Xifeng slightly frowned her柳眉, feeling a surge of disgust in her heart, and the faint liking she had felt upon their first meeting in the morning was instantly extinguished
In the Jia household, there are hundreds of people, and each day there are countless matters, both big and small, that await her to handle
The charm of Lin Daiyu is embedded in the essence of her clear and melodious voice, alluring yet not cloying, enchanting the heart while remaining free of distractions
The ancestors are coming, they are coming quickly. I am currently handling affairs in the small hall behind and rushed over upon receiving the news. It seems that the gentlemen in front, as well as the elders, have also received word and are on their way here.
Wang Xifeng truly deserves her reputation as a person of great versatility; with just a few jokes, she managed to console Grandmother Jia and stop her tears.
Generally speaking, the so-called family law is either a ruler or a wooden stick, established by the elders of the family, and can be used to discipline the unworthy descendants within the family
With a handsome appearance and an elegant demeanor, he is adorned in a moon-white brocade robe that exudes the charm of a cultured scholar
In the twinkling of stars, Lin Daiyu's gaze seems to always contain a scoop of clear water, capable of penetrating the heart and soul
In "Dream of the Red Chamber," this person is depicted as an old lecherous figure, evoking disgust; however, at this moment, what Jia Huan sees is that this person's appearance can be described as upright and robust
Everyone was taken aback, including Jia Mu and Wang Fu Ren, who were somewhat incredulous. They knew that Jia Huan's soul had departed, and all past events were forgotten.
Lin Daiyu's voice is exceptionally unique, very crisp, resembling that of a child, yet it inherently contains a kind of coquetry rooted in the essence of femininity
Jia Huan gazed at Lin Daiyu with a somewhat dazed expression, until he met her gaze that was directed towards him
Perhaps it was because he found his wandering gaze annoying, that Jia Zheng, in a fit of anger, delivered a resounding slap.
Jia Zheng's entire body trembled with anger, and the fleeting pain in his heart vanished completely. His face turned a deep red as he pointed at Jia Huan with a trembling finger and said: "Good, good, good! I never expected that I, Jia Zheng, would give birth to such a beast who shows no respect for his elders, who even denies his own father. Today, I must execute you with a rod; otherwise, how can I face the world? Someone, someone, bring me the family law!" Today, I must execute you with a rod; otherwise, how can I face the world? Someone, someone, bring me the family law!
This shiver is not caused by the chill that raises goosebumps, but rather, it is a tremor that is almost mystical, originating from the depths of the soul
It may be that she did not want Jia Zheng to be driven to death by anger, or perhaps she did not want others to view her as the mistress in a different light afterwards, as she was aware of the circumstances surrounding the matter
This kind of flirtation is not a deliberately affected one, such as that of Lin X Ling, which makes people feel as if it is merely a display of affection
Wait for the master and the second master to arrive, and see if they will strip your skin off!
Caught completely off guard, Jia Huan suddenly fell to the ground; this time he was certain that he had truly seen the legendary golden light.
This little enchantress possesses an alluring charm amidst her clear and refined demeanor, exuding a natural elegance, and indeed, her substantial resources are quite impressive
Sir, do you have some misunderstanding?
This feeling is akin to the experience of him, who was unremarkable, sitting in an unnoticed corner during his past life as a student, occasionally casting his gaze upon a certain spot in the classroom.
Madam Wang, who had been standing by, finally spoke softly: "My lord, Huan'er not only does not recognize you, but since waking up last night, he has also developed a condition of soul departure, and he cannot recognize anyone."
Wow!
Standing beside the soft couch was the chubby Jia Baoyu, who, perhaps due to his lifelong passion for reading idle books, suddenly looked at Jia Huan with shining eyes
Sister Feng, you are wronging someone here
Indeed, this is the true essence that Feng Lazi should possess
The words were spoken in a hurried and rapid manner, yet they were remarkably clear and articulate
There sat the class beauty of our class
Scared
It appears that one has reached the age of knowing one's destiny, and with well-defined features and a neatly groomed beard that extends three feet below the chin, an additional air of authority is added.
Jia Baoyu is cared for by Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang, but when Jia Huan looked at the various noble ladies above, they seemed to have little interest in explaining things for him, so Jia Huan could only speak up to defend himself
Jia Huan secretly grumbled with a hint of jealousy, but soon smiled.
Although Grandmother Jia had already fallen silent, she was still in sorrow, and it seemed that she could not even speak. With a heavy heart, she raised her hand and pointed to Jia Huan, who was standing below.
Like the moonlight that is about to rise and fade at dawn, it is cold and lonely, yet carries a hint of fragrance
