The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 73 The Fear of Jia's House

On Ningrong Street, Jia Zheng rushed into the Dongkua courtyard and told the servants: "Go and call your elders to come out!"

The boys all knew that it was rare for Jia Zheng to set foot in the Dongkua courtyard, and seeing that his face was not looking good, they all panicked and hurried in to pass the news.

All of a sudden Jia She came out and saw Jia Zheng pacing in front of the hall, helped up the jade crown that was not wearing straight, went up and asked, "What happened, you came to see me in such a hurry?"

As soon as Jia Zheng saw Jia Amnesty, he immediately said, "Brother, something happened to Lian'er!"

Jia Amnesty asked, "What could happen to that little bastard? Could it be that he was beaten when he went out to eat drunk?"

"No, he hit someone..."

Jia Amnesty didn't care anymore, and said dissatisfiedly: "If you beat me, you will beat me. How long have people like us been afraid of such a thing? You really are getting older and more impatient. Let me tell you this as a big event. Depending on who he hits, he will only pay a few taels of silver."

"No, Lian'er beat up Prince Duan's son!"

Jia Amnesty was raising his hand to fiddle with his jade crown that was always loose, when he heard that he staggered and almost fell, he quickly grabbed the railing next to him and asked in surprise, "Who did you say he hit?"

"It's Prince Duan's eldest son. I also heard that my colleagues in the ministry sent someone to tell me that Lian'er has been summoned into the palace by the sage, and I don't know what's going on inside. Tell me, this But what should I do..."

Jia Zheng looked a little anxious.

What a noble status Duan Wang is, Jia Lian beat his son, and he is still a dignified son, isn't this a big deal?
Jia Amnesty had already changed his expression from the initial casualness, his face was a little pale, "Are you sure you are not mistaken, he, that little bastard, dared to do such a rebellious thing?"

After asking for no reason, seeing that Jia Zheng was not joking with him, Jia Amnesty got up in a daze, stomped his feet non-stop, and said regretfully, "What should I do? It would be better to kill him sooner, but now it has caused me such a disaster..."

The two brothers, one with an official and the other with a noble title, are both in their fifties, but they are like headless flies when they encounter bigger things.

Jia Zheng said: "Things have already happened, it's unintentional to say these things, now I still think about how to save Lian'er, and how to deal with the aftermath to be serious."

Hearing this, Jia She immediately became annoyed, "Why should I save this bastard, we should wait for him to die! Let's think about how to appease Prince Duan's anger...

Come on, send someone to inquire quickly, and come back quickly after inquiring clearly! "

Jia Zheng also had no other choice, so he asked his old friends who were on duty in the palace today to inquire about the specific situation...

Unlike Dongkuayuan, Rongqingtang was full of joy today.

Although Wang Xifeng felt that Jia Lian was thinking too much, she couldn't help but invite a doctor to take a look, and she was overjoyed by the result.

She is really happy!

Calculating the time, it is true that Jia Lian was conceived in the days when Jia Lian came back...

Jia's mother was also very happy. She leaned on the high chair, smiled and said to Wang Xifeng: "You have been here for two years, and your stomach finally has some movement. If that's the case, I feel relieved a lot. After you have Lian'er, secondly, you don't have to worry about that little screwdriver talking about you behind your back."

When Wang Xifeng heard Jiamu's words, she felt somewhat sad.

Housekeeping is an offending job, and those servants have resentment towards her, so they just use the fact that her stomach has not moved, saying that she has done too many mean things, and God punished her for not giving birth to a son!
For this, she was quite sick.

Now, it can be regarded as elated.

"This is also a blessing from our ancestors..."

After Wang Xifeng's usual opening sentence finished, she was interrupted by Jia's mother waving her hand: "I don't mind if you said that next time, but I can't do it today. Your stomach is not thanks to me, serious, You have to thank your family Lian Ercai."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The servants in Jiamu's room couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard the words.Yingchun Daiyu and the other little sisters looked at Wang Xifeng and smiled, but they still blushed indistinctly.

They also probably realized something unusual in what Mother Jia said.

"Old ancestor~!" Wang Xifeng blushed with embarrassment, and called out coquettishly.

"Hahaha." Mother Jia took Daiyu's hand and laughed.

In the whole audience, only Mrs. Wang had a calm complexion, with a half-smile on her face.But everyone didn't care. In their eyes, Mrs. Wang has always been like this, with a serious look.

Suddenly Lin Zhixiao's family came to Mrs. Wang's side and whispered to Mrs. Wang.

"what……!"

Mrs. Wang was startled and couldn't help standing up.

Jia Mu asked what was the matter.

Mrs. Wang thought about it, but she didn't hide it: "Go back to the old lady, there are rumors outside that Lian'er was outside and beat the prince Duan."

"what……?"

There was a burst of exclamation in the hall, and I don't know if there are more slaves or more masters.

Jiamu's brows were also tightly furrowed, all the kind smile she had just now disappeared, and she looked at Lin Zhixiao's family and said, "What's going on, can't you tell me clearly?"

"Outsiders said that the second master Lian went to the imperial city to attend a banquet for a prince, but at the banquet, he beat the eldest son of Duanwang's mansion.

Now the Second Master Lian has been summoned into the palace, the Eldest Master and the Master are all outside, very anxious..."

"Ah, he was called into the palace by the emperor, so will he be okay?"

Wang Xifeng's complexion had changed a long time ago, and at this time, he caught Lin Zhixiao's family for questioning.

Lin Zhixiao's family wondered: "How does this servant know, but both the elder and the master are trying to find a way outside."

Wang Xifeng had an anxious look on her face, and she didn't have the slightest joy when she found out that she was pregnant. Seeing that Lin Zhixiao's family was useless, she turned to look at Mother Jia: "Old ancestor..."

In Wang Xifeng's mind, the person with the most status and ability is probably Jiamu.

So, when she heard about Jia Lian's accident, her first thought was to beg Jia's mother...

Mother Jia naturally knew what she meant, but if the emperor really wanted to punish Jia Lian, who could save him?
However, seeing her pitiful appearance, she still comforted her: "Okay, you haven't found out the matter clearly yet, so don't worry."

Then he said to Lin Zhixiao's family: "Why did you fight, and how is the other party injured?"

"This, the servant girl doesn't know yet..."

Jia's mother was displeased and said, "then why don't you hurry up and call your master in to answer!"

Lin Zhixiao's family had no choice but to take orders.

In the hall, Xichun held Yingchun's hand tightly, her face tensed.

She didn't quite understand what kind of serious crime Lian's second brother had beaten the prince's son.In her heart, it is not too unusual for brothers and nephews in the clan to fight outside.

But seeing that everyone looked nervous and worried, Xichun knew that this time, it seemed to be different...

……

On Huangcheng Avenue, Jia Lian was sitting in the carriage, still recalling the scene when he met Emperor Ningkang before.

Before he met Emperor Ningkang, he had inquired from various sources that Emperor Ningkang was a diligent and ambitious emperor...

Probably the newly enthroned emperor is like this.

Now seeing it with my own eyes, this feeling is stronger and more intuitive.

He could feel that Emperor Ningkang was a very powerful person with a strong desire to control. For such a small person like him, he could spend all his time exploring him...

But fortunately, it seems that Emperor Ningkang didn't have any prejudice against him, and he even wanted to cultivate his appearance.

In this, Lin Ruhai should have played a key role.

Thinking of Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling grateful and respectful.

He treated the Lin family with sincerity, and Lin Ruhai also treated him with sincerity, using his unique holy family to open a way for him.And it was helping him silently, without him knowing beforehand.

Therefore, Jia Lian took the risk of offending the emperor and told the emperor the truth about Lin Ruhai's poor health.

Wang Ziteng is about to leave Beijing, so according to the plot, it is not far from Lin Ruhai's donation to Yangzhou City.

I hope that the emperor has the heart, and after listening to his words, he can transfer Lin Ruhai from the salt administration with many affairs and take a good rest, so maybe Lin Ruhai can live for a few more years.

This is what Jia Lian thought of, the only thing he could do for Lin Ruhai and Daiyu.

The troika returned together as they had gone, and they did not encounter any interceptors on the way.

After leaving the imperial city, several servants from Jia's mansion saw Jia Lian's carriage and immediately surrounded him.

"Second master, the master told the servants to wait here. When they see the second master, tell the second master to go back quickly."

Zhang and Feng lifted the curtain of the car, and they knew that the people in Jia's mansion were worried when they heard the news, so they asked Jia Lian to ignore them and just go ahead.

Jia Lian cupped his fists and saluted them, and hurried home.
