Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 107 Take the person and go back to Jia's mansion

"Mr. Dai, go slowly!"

Jia Gong stood in front of the Hou's Mansion and sent Dai Quan away. Cailuan, who was standing beside him, looked at Dai Quan's back with a displeased face.

"Little bastard! That's one hundred taels!! That dead eunuch is not afraid of dying~~"

Hearing Cailuan's words, Jia Jun shook his head, the eunuchs who followed the emperor did not lack these things, this one hundred taels might be a huge sum of money to others, and it meant nothing to him.

Seeing that Cailuan was still in mourning, Jia Gong smiled.

"Okay, let's see what hurts you, isn't it just a hundred taels of silver, from now on, all the money in our house will be under your control, as long as you don't use the money to do things that hurt heaven and reason, it's up to you~"

It turns out that Jia Jun and Cailuan asked for the one hundred taels of silver note given to Dai Quan just now, and now Cailuan, who has become a miser, is feeling distressed!
Cailuan's eyes lit up when she heard Jia Jun's words, she licked the corners of her mouth, and a smile appeared on her face again, "Really? You can't play tricks!!"

Jia Jun nodded. Although there are servants arranged in the house, he can't trust these strangers, so he can rest assured that things like money are left to Cailuan.

After finishing speaking, Jia Guan turned around first and walked towards the mansion. At this time, a very blessed old man led a group of servant girls and servants standing on both sides behind the main entrance of the Hou Mansion, lined up in two rows. Jia Guan looked roughly, There are about forty or fifty people, and there are about twenty maidservants with uneven appearance, and most of the servants are young servants.

Seeing Jia Gong and Cailuan coming in, the group knelt down and shouted together, "See you, Lord Hou!"

Jia Guan raised his hand, "Get up!"

Looking at the old man at the front, Jia Jun asked aloud, "Are you the butler assigned by the family?"

Hearing Jia Gong's question, the old man didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Lord Hou, this old slave is the housekeeper assigned to Lord Hou by the clan mansion. The old slave's surname is Yang, and his first name is Liben. If there is anything wrong with Lord Hou Son, just tell me~”

Jia Guan narrowed his eyes slightly, he glanced at the others, and asked again: "Are the others appointed by the Clan Mansion?"

The Clan Mansion is Dakang’s institution that specializes in the management of the royal family and the etiquette and law matters of the noble family, including succession of titles, weddings and funerals, posthumous title decisions, and talent introduction.

However, most of the noble families in this dynasty did not use people from the Clan Mansion. For one thing, the people in the Clan Mansion had complicated backgrounds, and they didn't know whether the other party was a spy of the royal family or a rival family. It is not a wise move to arrange spies to put these people in the mansion.

Yang Liben sighed in his heart, these people had spent a lot of effort in order to enter this marquis' mansion, but judging from what Jia Gong meant, he didn't seem to want to use them.

But he didn't dare to lie when facing Jia Gong, so he could only reply honestly: "Yes~"

Jia Guan pondered for a moment, and then said to Yang Liben: "You stay, the servant girl keeps three, the servants keep two, and send the rest back!"

When everyone heard Jia Jun's words, there was a hint of disappointment in their eyes. They thought they had come to a good place, but they didn't think that this Lord Hou didn't give the family's family face at all.

Yang Liben swallowed his saliva when he heard this, and sent back so many people at once, how could he explain to the people above him!After all, those who can enter this Marquis Mansion are not ordinary people.

"Master Hou! The mansion is so big, so two people probably won't be able to take care of it!"

After a long silence, Jia Ju didn't speak, and Yang Liben couldn't help being stunned, but from the corner of his eye, he looked at the figure still standing on the high platform in front of the door, knowing that Jia Ju didn't leave, so he didn't dare to look up, so he Standing there with your head down.

As time passed, the courtyard became more and more oppressive. Even though Jia Guan didn't say a word, the hearts of all the people present trembled, as if a big rock was pressed on them, and they became more and more out of breath.

Of course, it was Yang Liben who touched him the most. After all, he was the one who spoke directly to Jia Jun, and the others did not dare to breathe. The servants and maidservants standing on both sides felt that time seemed to stand still at this time. Usually, there is the sound of my own beating heartbeat next to my ears. Although I don't know the true ability of this champion, but right now, it is still like a year.

"Are you teaching Benhou how to do things?"

A whirlwind blew past in the courtyard, and Yang Liben trembled all over. The pressure Jia Jun put on him was too great, even the Lord Zongzheng in the clan mansion never let him do this, he couldn't help but feel in his heart What kind of weight does the word "Champion Hou" really have?

While thinking about it, he quickly knelt down on the ground, and hurriedly replied: "I don't dare! I don't dare! Please forgive me~"

Jia Gong took a step forward and walked in with Cailuan. When he passed by Yang Liben, Jia Gong said something, making Yang Liben nod his head as if he was being pardoned.

"It's not an example!"

"The Marquis's personal guards will come in a while, and arrange a place for them to live in. In the future, servants will not be invited from outside. If there is anything wrong, just tell them!"

"Follow your orders~"

Then he said to Cailuan who was beside him: "Go and pick the servant girl!"

Cailuan nodded obediently.

Jia Jun pointed to a servant and said, "Go to the study, you will lead the way!"

There was a hint of surprise on the boy's face. At first he thought that he would be sent back. After all, his relationship was not so good, and he couldn't be ranked with Yang Liben. down.

He got up nimbly and led the way in front of him until he disappeared. Yang Liben wiped off the cold sweat that had already covered his forehead. Now he regrets taking on such an errand. The young man in front of him The champion Hou, who is so good at controlling people and acts so domineeringly, must not be a good master, and I am afraid that he will be sad in the future.

After arriving at the study room, Jia Jun asked the boy to leave. The layout of the study room was similar to Lin Ruhai's study room he saw in Yangzhou.

After arriving at the desk, Jia Guan took the Eight Immortals chair back and sat down.

Looking at the stack of thread-bound Four Books and Five Classics on the table, he was slightly lost in thought. When he was in court in Fengtian Hall, he vaguely noticed something abnormal. Although his breath was very faint, he could feel that the person he had met before The three major sacrificial offerings in the later Yuan Dynasty are the same.

Thinking about what the three of them said to him, he could naturally think that that person should be the person behind Dakang, or the person behind Dakang's royal family.

But today that person didn't seem to notice his abnormality, and his aura was also fleeting.When I left the palace before, I was thinking about that too, and because of this, I almost injured the eunuch in charge of Emperor Mingkang's side - Dai Quan.

"It seems that we have to pay attention to these people in the future~"

Jia Gong said in his heart and put this matter aside for the time being. It is a good thing for him that the left and right parties can't intervene in the affairs of the world without authorization.

Then Jia Jun planned today's affairs again. He should go to Jia's mansion. After all, he was born there, and his little maid who was rescued from Jinling was also there, as well as Xichun, and the protagonists of this overhead world. , Jinling Twelve Beauties, Phoenix Egg Jia Baoyu, and that psychic jade are all there.

While he was still thinking about these things, the door of the study was pushed open, and Cailuan came in with three handsome maidservants. I couldn't even arouse interest, so when choosing, I chose the three most beautiful maids, but at this time the eyes of the three little maids were a little red, as if they had cried.

"Ask clearly?"

Seeing them coming in, Jia Jun said something confusing, but Cailuan smiled lightly.

Looking at the three little maids standing at the door, Cailuan pointed and said: "One is from the palace, one is from the First Prince's residence, and the other is from the cabinet Fan Yuanhe's family!"

Hearing this, Jia Jun was taken aback for a moment, and then the corner of his mouth twitched. It seems that he was right in not keeping those people. If they were all kept, wouldn't his mansion become a sieve? It's not good, it's actually fine as it is now.

Jia Guan touched his chin, and then asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will lie to you?"

Cailuan giggled, a hint of deep meaning flashed in her eyes, she touched her nails, and replied: "I fed them something~"

Hearing Cailuan's words, the three little girls didn't know what they thought of, they trembled unconsciously, and then fell to their knees with a plop.

"Master Hou!! Please let us go! We swear that we will never disclose any news to the outside world!"

"Please be kind to Lord Hou! Please be kind to Lord Hou!"

Seeing the terrified faces of the three of them, Jia Gong guessed what Cailuan did just now, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Cailuan, after all, they were all spies sent here. Seeing no fluctuations, he said in a deep voice: "I give you two choices, the first one is to let you go~"

Hearing this, the eyes of the three little maids showed a hint of surprise, they were almost not scared to death by Cailuan just now, to be honest, they don't want anything now, they just want to leave here alive.

But before they were happy, they immediately changed their minds.

"It's just going out sideways, the Marquis doesn't believe that you can control your mouths!"

Hearing this, the three little maids immediately trembled, and Cailuan beside her was also full of fun. She couldn't leave by herself back then, how many of them little girls are still daydreaming?

Regardless of how the other party reacted, Jia Jun said again: "Second, stay in the mansion as an errand, you can pass on news to your master, but you have to know what news to send! If Ben Hou finds out something Abnormal, don't blame Ben Hou for being cruel!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the three maids were a little strange, they quietly raised their heads and glanced at Jia Jun.

"Of course, this is an ugly thing to say. If you have always been loyal, I will not treat you badly. According to the monthly rules of the first-class maids in the capital, every month is double. When you reach the age, you are allowed to go out of the house to match people. If you don't want to , the Hou Mansion will not miss you a bite of food!"

After Jia Jun finished speaking, the throats of the three little maids twitched violently. They glanced at each other and said in unison: "I am willing to listen to Lord Hou's order, and I will never refuse to die!"

It's better to die than to live, and these little maids naturally know how to choose.

Jia Gong nodded, "Go alone and talk to Yang Liben, Benhou will go out in a while, let him get ready!"

"The remaining two are going to help Ben Hou prepare clothes, and Ben Hou needs to change clothes~"

When the three little maids heard Jia Jun's order, they bowed Yingying, said aloud, and then hurried away.

It's just that Cailuan on the side was a bit apprehensive. Seeing the three maids leaving, she looked at Jia Jun eagerly. Put on your clothes, we will go together in a while, then you are not allowed to talk, just watch~"

The corner of Cailuan's mouth curled up, and she ran out in a hurry.

Half an hour later, Jia Guan walked out of the Hou's mansion wearing a red suit. In front of him was a lifelike golden unicorn, with a jade belt around his waist, a pair of soap boots under his feet, and a jade crown around his hair. Just looking at the young man with sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes, his nose like a daring nose, his face like a crown of jade, and his extraordinary appearance, Cai Luan was stunned.

"The little bastard is still long~"

When Jia Ju heard this, he frowned, "Are you crazy again? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cailuan gave Jia Guan an annoyed look, this is their southern Xinjiang dialect, and they are praising a man for being handsome!This ignorant idiot.

"It's saying that some little bastard looks better than Pan An!"

Seeing Cailuan like this, Jia Jun chuckled, shook his head, and didn't care anymore, "Sit in a sedan chair or ride a horse?"

"What kind of sedan chair to sit in? I'm not a weak little girl!"

After Cailuan finished talking, she also asked someone to pull out a horse, and got on the horse's back as soon as she stepped on the pedals, and then glanced at Jia Gong, as if to say that the old lady is not so weak.

Then Jia Guan lightly tapped the ground and climbed onto the horse's back.

"Go~"

The streets in the capital city are very spacious. There are many shops on both sides of the street. The cries of small merchants and hawkers in the streets and alleys can be heard endlessly. Sugar figurines, candied gourds, juggling, performing arts, and all kinds of snacks are available. Crowded.

Seeing Cailuan's excited expression, Jia Guan shook his head helplessly, "Another day! Today's clothes, even though they are ordinary clothes, are still a bit ostentatious."

Hearing this, Cailuan looked away reluctantly, and followed Jia Gong into another street.

There are three words written on the archway on the street, "Ningrong Street". Compared with the previous street, this street is obviously much deserted, with only a few merchants. Looking at the bookstore on the street, Jia Guan's eyes flashed Reminiscing, when he was preparing to take the imperial examination, he often came here to read books, and the time was quiet. Now, in a blink of an eye, it has been five or six years.

After thinking for a while, Jia Jun got off his horse and came to the bookstore in three or two steps. There was a cover outside the store with a book written on it. The store was similar to before, and there was not much change. Jia Guan glanced at a corner Well, it was the same old man, a poor scholar hired by Jia Zheng from the countryside. He remembered that his name was Si Songgen.

Hearing the movement, the old man slowly got up from the bamboo chair, squinted his eyes, shook his head and said, "This place is Jia's Bookstore, which is temporarily closed to outsiders. Children of Jia's family can read here for free, but they are not allowed to damage the books! "

There was a stove where he was staying, but the books were flammable, so they were far away, and he didn't see the person coming. When he turned around from the wall, he saw a young man in bright red, Surprised him.

This kind of vermilion color is not something ordinary people can afford to wear. In the court, only officials of the fourth rank and above can wear red.

"Damn old man, your body is still so tough~"

Seeing this old man, Jia Jun said half-jokingly.

Hearing this familiar greeting, Si Songgen's heart trembled. He hadn't heard this voice for four or five years. He thought Jia Jun had died before!After all, Jia Jun was too young back then, and he was alone. In this world, the chance of a child surviving alone is not too high.

"You are little brother Gong??"

Seeing that Si Songgen's eyes were moist, Jia Guan felt a little bit of a sigh in his heart. When he came here to read books, he spent a lot of time with this stubborn old man. From the beginning he complained, but later he was willing to give him a few pennies. Prepare two steamed stuffed buns, Jia Guan is still grateful to this old man.

"It's me~"

Hearing Jia Ju's words, Si Songgen wiped his face twice indiscriminately, and smiled.

"The wind is strong, and the sand is blinding my eyes~"

Jia Gong knew that the old man was stubborn, so he didn't try to expose him. He casually pulled two stools aside, put one in front of Si Songgen, and put the other by his side.

Si Songgen didn't hesitate, so he naturally took the stool Jia Gong handed over, sat down, and then asked, "Brother Gong, where have you been these few years? I haven't seen you reading books~ "

Jia Jun chuckled, "I didn't go anywhere, I fought two battles on the Nine Sides, and I happened to win. Isn't this a homecoming!"

He knew that the old man had been staying here all day and never went out, and the news was very ill-informed. He expected that the other party didn't know who he was now, so he didn't use himself as a champion to stimulate him. Age, if it is stimulated, it will be bad if it dies.

Sure enough, Si Songgen didn't know what was going on outside, or he didn't think that the little brother reading the book in front of him was that famous champion!

"Going to the battlefield? It's good if you can come back! It's good to be back! Let me tell you! The battlefield is not a good place. There are swords, lights and swords. People are there, and they lose their lives accidentally. It's better to study! It's better to study what!"

For this, Jia Gong did not refute, the battlefield is indeed not a good place, if he did not have this all-powerful ability, he would definitely not take this path.

"It's okay, there will be no battles on the nine sides in the future!"

Hearing this, the old man was a little confused. The border area has always been a place where gunpowder and smoke never stop. How could there be no war?
Seeing him like this, Jia Gong continued with a smile: "Our Dakang has won a big victory this year, and we have beaten Houyuan to pieces, and they have been defeated. I am afraid they will not dare to come to the Nine Sides to fight the autumn wind for a long time!"

Si Songgen nodded when he heard this.

"That's right! The people on the frontier are very happy! Oh! By the way, brother Gong, have you seen him? I think you are not young, you have finally established a career , it is right to start a family as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Jia Jun couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly. He looked old, but he was actually not yet fourteen years old. It's a good thing this old man can figure it out when he gets married at this age.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Jia Jun asked Cailuan for a silver note of one hundred taels and handed it to the old man. It's not that Jia Jun is unwilling to give more, it's just that he knows that this one hundred taels is the limit that the old man can hold safely. Two, the rest will be given slowly in the future.

Afterwards, he told Si Songgen that if there was any junior in the family, he could find a job for him, but the old man declined.

In desperation, Jia Jun told him that if he had any difficulties, he would go to the mansion to find himself, and then he got up and left.

After leaving the bookstore, there were only a few steps ahead. Jia Gong didn't get on his horse again, and walked directly to the Ningguo Mansion~
