The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 166 Because of the Fa conference, I was shocked to meet the Zhongshan wolf in the spring

Turn the day to the eleventh day of the first lunar month.

After exercising in the morning, Jiao Shun originally planned to sleep with Xiangling in his arms, and then get up for dinner when the morning is [[-] o'clock in the morning].

Who would have thought that as soon as he took off his sweaty clothes, Yu Chuan'er outside reported through the door that Jia Lian specially sent Qing'er to summon Jiao Shun to try his luck at a poker game.

It is also common practice to collect gambling games at home during the first month, not only in the gates of big houses, but also in small households who have to collect thirty or fifty yuan to play a game.

Idle left and right is also idle, this poker game is always more interesting than watching a play.

By the way, Jiao changed his clothes and came out, and said to Qing'er who was waiting on the porch, "Go back and tell Second Master Lian to come over after I have eaten."

"Uncle Jiao, just go there."

Qing'er bent slightly and said with a smile: "Our second master just set up a small stove to serve the game. The staple food and pastries are all ready-made. You can order whatever you want—by the way, there are also three baskets of fresh vegetables grown in the glazed shed. Where's the fruit!"

After he said so, Jiao ordered Yu Chuan'er to take 100 taels of cash and 400 taels of silver bills, and asked Shuan Zhu to rush to Jia Lian's study outside in his bag.

Entering the gate of the courtyard, you can see that there are no. 40 people sitting or standing in the two lower corridors waiting.

Going further in, the living room has changed its style. A large square table is placed in the middle, covered with half-inch thick beige glass. tea table.

Now there were seven or eight people around the table, but the host was not Jia Lian, but Xue Pan, who was a few catties heavier than before.

This guy obviously won, and he was yelling proudly with his chin on his face: "The master of the dealer has seven moths and nine times, and the opponent's family will kill twice, and the next one will double the road-Brother Wei, Lao Li, don't be dumbfounded, hurry up!" Take the silver!"

Seeing that Jia Rong was watching from behind Xue Pan, Jiao Shun went up to poke him with his finger and asked, "Where is Second Master Lian?"

Jia Rong turned her head to see Jiao Shun, laughed quickly and said, "Second Uncle is talking to Xing'er in the room, it seems that there is something serious to discuss - Uncle Jiao may as well push his hands on the table, and kill Xue's big head first! "

"Let's talk about it later, I'm still hungry."

As Jiao Shun said, he casually found a boy who waited on the game of cards and passed on a message to let the stove quickly cook two bowls of stewed noodles and bring them over.

The young man asked Jiao Shun what he liked, and within a quarter of an hour, he brought two large bowls of wide noodles with deer tendon and mushroom stew.

The deer tendon has been boiled long ago, the outer layer melts in the mouth, and the inner is full of tendons. It is served with thinly sliced ​​shiitake mushrooms and some green leafy vegetables. It tastes fragrant but not greasy, which really whets the appetite.

More than half of the bowl was given to Shuanzhu, and Jiao Shun swallowed the remaining bowl in a flurry.

As soon as the chopsticks were put down, there was a little maid again who brought out oil-free tea and a plate of peeled fruits.

Jiao Shun drank the moderately warm tea and walked towards the game with the fruit in his hand. He originally wanted to find a place with a feng shui treasure to replace him, but he didn't want to see Xing'er coming out of the room with his head downcast as soon as he opened his legs. That posture seemed to have been stretched by someone.

Jiao Shunyin asked about Tian Xingjian's business from time to time, and Xing'er was used to it, so he went up to meet him and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Could it be that Second Master Lian saw that you've gotten too fat recently and wanted to help you lose weight?" weight?"

Xing'er looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, then he spread his hands and smiled wryly at Jiao Shun: "If it's just scraping some oil and water, it's all right, but the second master and grandma are angry and insist that I give him the proceeds from the shop, what do you think?" ……Ugh!"

"Why don't we all say that the city gate caught fire and the fish in the pond were affected?"

Jiao Shun patted him on the shoulder: "It's up to you to spend money to avoid disaster, but you can't hide from it. If you don't want to put down the capital, after the Spring Festival, the helm of the shop may be changed again."

When Xing'er heard this, he sighed again.

At this moment, I saw a little steward enter the door in a hurry, pulled the boy to ask if Jia Lian was in the room, and then went there by himself.

Not long after, Jiao Shun, who had just teamed up with Wei Ruolan to occupy the Tianmen, heard Jia Lian angrily say: "It's just a maid, what kind of ritual is this young man doing? It's as much as two or three thousand taels of silver!"

The living room was silent for a while, but soon it became lively and noisy again.

It's just that everyone is absent-minded, and they can't help but scan inside subconsciously.

After a while, I saw Jia Lian, who was neatly dressed, coming out of the room with a dark face. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he forced a smile and bowed: "Master summons, I will come as soon as I go."

Everyone responded eagerly.

When Jia Lian left in a hurry, some people couldn't help asking around.

Those who can be invited by Jia Lian to be friends at home are naturally well-established masters, and there are relatives and nephews like Jia Rong and Xue Pan among them.
It didn't take long to piece things together.

But it turned out to be Qiu Tong from Mrs. Xing's house. Because Jia Amnesty took her to the Canton Fair to "play" for a few days, she hanged herself not long after she came back.

When encountering murder cases many times, Jia She felt that the year was not good, so regardless of the first month, he made a fuss about organizing the Water and Land Ceremony in the Dongkua courtyard.

However, he spent a lot of money in settling the lawsuit a few years ago, and scattered around the Chinese New Year. When the money was not available for a while, he sent someone to demand from Jia Lian regardless of face, planning to pay his debts to his father and son.

Knowing the cause and effect, someone said: "Since it is related to the Canton Fair, it is not surprising. The concubines and maids who were coaxed away from each family were not one or two who were hanged and thrown into the well."

It was only then that Jiao Shun realized that the so-called "Canton Fair" had nothing to do with Guangdong and Guangxi. It was actually a place where rich and powerful masters exchanged ideas with their concubines and maidservants.

Even in the era of monogamy in later generations, such things still existed. It is not too strange that such things happen under the system of multiple concubines.

But such a big fanfare is still a bit unacceptable.

Therefore, Jiao Shun couldn't help frowning and said, "Since people have already died, shouldn't the government care about it?"

"Tube?"

Wei Ruolan sneered, and said: "The people there are either rich or expensive. I heard that there is a prince behind them. How dare Shuntian Mansion dare to provoke the Canton Fair?"

Feng Ziying shook her head from the side: "I really don't know what this is for, but I want to send the woman around me to that place-according to me, it's better to spend money to go to Bada Hutong for fun."

Jia Rong held the oranges, sipped the juice, and said with a smile: "You don't understand that, do you? It's interesting to trade each other in this way. It's not the same taste if you change to Yaojieer."

"Shit!"

Wei Ruolan sneered: "The concubines in many people's families are all concubines, and they are all old prostitutes, so they are aimed at them!"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and asked him why he knew so clearly.

Xue Pan was the only one who was different, shaking his head and praising: "In this way, the old man is an honest person—if I go to the Canton Fair in the future, I will only trade with honest people like the old man! "

Everyone looked sideways in silence, only Jia Rong nodded secretly, obviously thinking the same thing.

Jia Lian originally said that he would come back as soon as he went, but he didn't disappear until noon.

Without him as the host, everyone felt a little unhappy, so they gathered together for lunch and then dispersed.

By the time they got home, Yu Chuan'er, Xiang Ling and the others had already heard the rumors.

While helping Jiao Shun, who was half drunk, take off his boots and put his legs on the bed, Yu Chuan'er couldn't help talking about Qiu Tong's death: "I heard that when she was buried, the body was almost There are not many good places - it is said that the master gave her to a soldier, and ruined her for three days as if she was not a human being!"

As he said that, the rabbit died and the fox cried sadly.

In fact, she could not get used to Qiu Tong in every possible way on weekdays, but the background and circumstances of the two were similar, so it was inevitable that she felt the same way.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun picked her sharp chin with his toes, pretending to be angry and said: "What kind of monster are you, you little hoof, making you cry, it seems like the Lord is treating you harshly."

Yu Chuaner hurriedly wiped away her tears, and smiled apologetically, "Master is very good. I'm crying that she didn't have such a good life. If she was by Master's side, where would she be..."

"With her temperament, I may not be able to tolerate it!"

Jiao Shun interrupted her, and said: "If Dongkua sent someone to look for me, you just presume that I'm drunk and unconscious."

Sure enough, he was expected.

Because Jia Lian pushed back and forth, but finally squeezed out only 1000 taels of silver, Madam Xing really missed Jiao Shun again, and specially sent Wang Shanbao's family to invite him.

As a result, Yu Chuan'er blocked her of course.

When Wang Shanbao's family went back to report, Mrs. Xing was so angry that she called Jiao Shun "slippery". Fortunately, she just wanted to trick him, otherwise if she really wanted to marry the second girl, wouldn't she lose her wife and lose her army!
Wang Shanbao's family was really inappropriate to hear her words. They wanted to persuade them but didn't dare, so they could only change the subject and said: "Madam, let's think about it quickly, how should the old lady explain it? If the maid knows how to do something, the old lady will definitely ask about it."

Mrs. Xing's face became increasingly pale, and she muttered: "Obviously the master caused the trouble, but every time I go..."

Although there was some resentment in my heart, I still belonged to Wang Shanbao's family and thought of many words to excuse Jia Amnesty.

Just as they were discussing, another boy came in from outside, eager to ask for money.

Mrs. Xing frowned when she heard the words: "Isn't everything already laid out? Why do you want money?"

"It was already laid out."

The young man replied: "But the master heard from Master Zhen that although there are many monks and priests invited, there may not be a few who sincerely pray. It is better to offer some incense to Xuanzhen Temple and let Master Jing help to eliminate the disaster." Jie—the master thought it was reasonable, so he prepared to send 500 taels over."

"500 taels?!"

Mrs. Xing's voice sharpened immediately, and she said bitterly: "If his temple is really useful, why would Brother Rong's daughter-in-law die without knowing why?!"

The boy didn't dare to argue with him, he just hung his head like a quail.

Mrs. Xing cursed a few words, but in the end she still gritted her teeth and took out more than 300 taels of silver, and gave the boy even the whole change, and said through gritted teeth: "There's only so much, if you want to take it out, I'm afraid it will be the Lantern Festival." The whole family can only drink northeast wind!"

"Ok?"

As soon as the words fell, someone at the door said displeasedly: "Master He Zhe, I'm still starving you?"

It was Jia She who did not know when he arrived outside the door.

Seeing him walking in with his hands behind his back, Mrs. Xing hurriedly laughed and said: "Master misunderstood, I didn't mean that, it's really..."

Just halfway through the conversation, Jia Amnesty stretched out his hand and held a bank note in front of her eyes: "What are you talking about? Hurry up and get it into the account!"

Mrs. Xing took a look and couldn't help exclaiming: "6000 taels?! Where did this come from?"

"Then Sun Dagang gave it."

"Da Sun?"

Mrs. Xing hesitated, "Is that the one that Qiu Tong used to...?"

"Isn't it him?"

Jia Amnesty said proudly: "He felt that he was somewhat responsible, so he sent 1000 taels as compensation—the remaining 5000 taels was to make up for a real vacancy in the army through our family's connections."

As he said that, he proudly said, "I just said that I want to hold a Dharma meeting? You see, the sutra altar has just been put down, and the money is delivered to the door!"

Mrs. Xing was overjoyed when she heard the words. Before, she felt that Qiutong died a little wrongly, but now she only has the word 'value' in her heart.

The two of him and his wife took the 5000 taels of silver as something in their pockets, thinking that before the family had a concubine, the second room would be able to promote Jia Yu's village official to resume his post; Go out and walk around with the sign of Rongguo Mansion, what's the difficulty in getting a real job in the army?
Seeing that Mrs. Xing received the bank note, Jia She said again: "I was sleeping in the room yesterday, and I always felt cold, maybe Qiutong's little hoof soul is still alive - let's live in the study outside for a few days, and wait Monks and Taoists come in to save lives, and it won’t be too late to move back.”

"This……"

When Xing heard the words, he pretended to be hesitant and said, "Then how should we arrange for Yingchun?"

Jia She flicked his sleeves and said nonchalantly: "Let her go back to the old lady's side, and it will save some money!"

His expression seemed to be playing with some cat or dog.

That's what Xing was waiting for.

Originally, she brought Yingchun by her side to save the second room's face, but now the bamboo basket was empty, and there was a lot of trouble for no reason. Naturally, seeing how Yingchun was an eyesore, she wished to send her back to the second room.

Now with Jia Amnesty's approval, he hastened to order Wang Shanbao's family to take care of it.

In the name of fearing that the monks and priests would offend the second girl, they even refused to give them time to pack their luggage.

Even so, the masters and servants of Yingchun were very happy, wishing they could fly out of the fire pit with their wings.

After packing up her bags indiscriminately for a while, Yingchun took the Supreme Sensation Sutra and two chess boxes alone, and went out of the East Chamber surrounded by maids and women.

As soon as he stepped through the gate of the courtyard, he saw Jia Amnesty at the bottom of the steps exchanging arms with a bearded man.

Because Siqi was walking ahead, she just collided with the fierce light in the man's eyes. She refused to admit defeat and wanted to stare back, but was dragged behind by her grandmother Wang Shanbao's family, and said in a stern voice: " You don't want to die?! That guy is Sun Da who tortured Qiutong to death, the most human face!"

When Yingchun heard this, she hurriedly looked away.

At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: Sanqing is above, and I don't know that the daughter of that family who has not accumulated virtue will fall into this kind of family as a wife.
