The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 67 The Fourth Prince

Under the main corridor, the Fourth Prince came to a young man, saluted and said, "Brother Three Emperors."

The young man nodded and asked with a smile: "Although today's meeting is to unveil your newly built martial arts arena, not all of us royal family are good at martial arts. Besides, you also said that today is a poetry reception. Only wine, no poetry?"

The fourth prince said with little interest: "Brother Sanhuang knows about me, so I'll leave it to Brother Sanhuang to preside over the matter of composing poems. I will cooperate with you."

The young man knew his little brother's difficulty, so after nodding his head and saying hello, he asked people to stop the competition on stage and called on everyone to start making friends through literature...

Jia Lian saw that everyone on the field gathered towards the front, and knew that the leader above was the most prestigious prince in the entire Wei Dynasty, except for the prince.

According to rumors, he is also the only one who may threaten the status of the prince.

Even so, Jia Lian didn't mean to lean forward hastily.

Before there is no capital, rashly approaching people who are too much higher than oneself will not earn any benefits except for self-defeating.

Therefore, I only drink with Zhang and Feng, and occasionally meet the few disciples of the honored family on the court.

Zhang Su originally intended to come forward to participate in the literary meeting, but seeing that Jia Lian and Feng Ziying were not very interested, he didn't go, and acted as an introducer for Jia Lian and the two, introducing some better-behaved royal children to meet him. Time flies by too quickly.

On this side, the fourth prince managed to escape the sight of the third brother, got out of the crowd, immediately saw the person he was looking for, and ran over in a hurry.

"Jin Yan, why didn't you send someone to tell me when you came, come on, brother Sanhuang asked me to compose a poem, you can help me make up a poem, it doesn't have to be too good, as long as you can fool me..."

The fourth prince was about to drag Zhang Su to the small room while he was talking.

Zhang Su looked at Jia Lian and the others with some embarrassment, and explained with some lack of confidence: "Well, as His Highness's accompanying reader, it is common for me to help His Highness's articles to be polished..."

It's very common, everyone understands, and they all smiled and said that they just go ahead.

At this time, the fourth prince was not in a hurry anymore. He looked up at the people in front of him, fixed his gaze on Jia Lian, and said casually: "What a pretty face, how did you get the mark on your face? Are you the son of a rabbit? When I was fighting for you, I scratched it for you?"

Today is the private meeting of the four princes, except for Prince Duan, the evil guest, everyone else was invited by him.

He even knew Feng Ziying, but he didn't know Jia Lian. More importantly, Jia Lian was seven feet tall and had a dignified appearance. Standing in the crowd, it was hard not to be noticed.

When Feng Ziying and the others heard what the fourth prince said, they all had expressions that wanted to laugh but were not funny. Only Zhang Su quickly motioned to the fourth prince and explained: "This is my cousin Jia Lian, who is the grandson of Duke Rong of Rongguo Mansion. Bring him here to visit His Highness."

The fourth prince was speaking casually, without any malice, and said after hearing the words: "Oh, it's Jinyan's cousin, that's rude..."

As he said that, he was about to pull Zhang Su to help him cheat again, when he suddenly remembered something, and turned around again: "What did you say is your name?"

Jia Lian was not angry because of the impolite words of the fourth prince, after all, he had roughly seen the fourth prince's personality from his actions on the stage just now.If you don't win a cockfight, you end up fighting other people's chickens... how should I put it, it's a bit eclectic.

Hearing the words at this moment, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm Xia Jia Lian, and I've seen the Fourth Highness."

"Jia Lian? Are you Jia Lian?!"

Facing the rhetorical question of the Four Emperors, not to mention Jia Lian himself, no one else could understand what he meant.

Seeing that the fourth prince's breathing became thicker, he said in a very bad tone: "It's really hard to find a place to go, your mother is Jia Lian!!"

Obviously, this was not an unintentional mistake, Jia Lian also frowned, "Dare to ask, how did I offend His Highness?"

Jia Lian knew very well that this was definitely the first time for him to meet the Fourth Prince.

"Stop talking nonsense, watch the fight!"

Without saying a word, the fourth prince kicked towards Jia Lian.

Jia Lian's eyes were calm, and as soon as he moved his body out of the way, he was about to grab the ankle kicked by the fourth prince, but he saw that the fourth prince was also very flexible, he immediately retracted his leg when he missed a blow, and changed his fist.

Seeing this, Jia Lian decided to subdue Zhang Tao No. [-] first.

At the cost of being punched in the chest, the fourth prince's arms were trapped and tied behind his back.

The fourth prince struggled twice, unable to move, immediately said angrily: "Let go of me...!"

Before the others could react, the fourth prince had already greeted Jia Lian several times, but to their surprise, Jia Lian actually tied the fourth prince behind his back, and immediately shouted: "Bold, don't let the fourth prince go! !"

Zhang Su also hurried up to persuade him.

Only then did Jia Lian take advantage of the situation and let go of the little thing.

The fourth prince seemed to have a lot of backbone, he didn't continue to yell, but twisted his hands, looked at Jia Lian as if facing a formidable enemy, and praised: "Well, it seems that you are really not a rabbit master, you are quite clever! Just now I was careless, do you dare, let's go on stage and try two tricks?"

Jia Lian wanted to laugh, why are these fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys so irritable, Zhang Tao is, and this fourth prince is even more so.

"I dare not offend Your Highness."

"Nonsense, don't you dare? You tied my hands just now, and you even put your legs against me so that I can't move. It seems that you are a practicing family, why are you cowarding now? Don't worry, I am not a stingy person. If you hurt my ability to count you, I won't settle the score after the autumn." The fourth prince stared at him, looking unhappy if he didn't take revenge.

Jia Lian thought to himself, this statement is somewhat believable, after all, if it was someone else, he would have already become angry from embarrassment when he restrained him by pouting his arms just now, so why would he want to ask him to compete on stage?
He would not guard against such a promise.

He didn't know where he had offended the fourth prince, but it didn't look like he had a deep hatred. It just so happened that, through him, he showed his face openly.

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Our majestic Fourth Highness was actually cleaned up by a boy with a foreign surname. It's really a laughing stock."

Prince Duan came out of nowhere, just in time to see Jia Lian restraining the fourth prince, he laughed and walked over, looking happy.

"Your skin is itchy again, isn't it? Last time I taught you a lesson, you healed up so quickly and your scars forgot to hurt?"

Hearing the fourth prince's old words again, remembering how many punches he had received in the face at that time, Prince Duan couldn't laugh anymore, and said with a gloomy expression: "If I didn't let you, do you think you can beat me?"

"Then I don't need you to let me this time, so I will go up and compete now?"

The fourth prince has put aside his grievances with Jia Lian.

Prince Duan hesitated. Although he usually doesn't pay attention to the fourth prince, he is too lazy to ask him to fight with the fourth prince.

In case this kid is really hurt by accident, even if the emperor doesn't remember his fault, his father can hang him up and beat him up.

Why bother?

So he said with a smile: "Everything is first come, first served. Don't you want to compete with him? After you have competed with him, we will compare."

Jia Lian didn't want the fourth prince not to step down, and would bring two grievances to him later, so he cupped his hands and said, "I'm of low status, how dare you go ahead of His Highness and the Eldest Son, you two should invite first, and be willing to wait first. "

After finishing speaking, Jia Lian took two steps back, leaving the central area to only the two of them.

The fourth prince doesn't have to be embarrassed now, raised his eyebrows, and said to Duan Wang Shizi: "How about it, if you are cowardly, just say so, don't make excuses!"

Now it's hard for the crown prince to ride a tiger.He was a little annoyed at Jia Lian's ignorance of flattery, and also found that Jia Lian was the one who laughed at his black general at the gate earlier.

So he asked angrily: "Who are you, that you dared to be rude to His Royal Highness?"

There was a person beside him who was more familiar with Rongguo Mansion, so he whispered Jia Lian's identity to him.

Prince Duan didn't remember anything else, but when he heard the words "the son of the first-class Shenwei general", he suddenly laughed.

The fourth prince seemed to really hate this Prince Duan very much. Seeing his disgusting smile, he spit out a mouthful and cursed: "You laugh like a chicken!"

People at that time were not ignorant of these extremely vulgar words, but most of them thought they were dignified and would never say it.

At this time, hearing the fourth prince scolding the prince without any taboo in public, not only did he not feel vulgar, but he wanted to laugh.

Just looking at Duan Wangshizi's extremely gloomy face, he didn't want to get angry, so they all held back.

Prince Duan greeted the fourth prince's old lady many times in his heart, but suppressed his anger on his face, and smiled instead: "If I remember correctly, what does the big yellow chicken that His Highness raised earlier seem to be called, by the way, It's called 'Shenwei General'!
How do I listen, someone's father on the field is also called General Shenwei?
I was wondering, how can this man and chicken have the same name?

Tell me, is it funny or not?Hahaha……"

The fourth prince originally caused the death of his own general because of his careless naming, and he regretted it in his heart.

At this time, seeing Prince Duan's son say so, he also realized that Jia Lian's father may have this title!

Although he has always acted without fear of being hated by others, but he didn't want to be provoked so unreasonably by Prince Duan, so he didn't know how to respond at the moment.

　One foot in this era is smaller than in modern times. As for the specific number of seven feet, you can bring it in according to your own height.
