Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 147
Beijing,

Yichun Courtyard,
This place is located in Lechunfang, Dongcheng City. It can be regarded as one of the gold-selling caves for dignitaries and wealthy merchants in the capital.

In the courtyard of Yichun Courtyard, Jia Lian and the bustard were flirting together shamelessly. It is also anxious hands, anxious eyes, and even more anxious hearts.

As expected of Second Uncle Lian, the secret path has become more and more proficient in this method.

Jia Lian was also swayed by the evil fire. I didn't expect her figure to be so good, even fatter than the top card. Seeing that there are more and more people around, I had to ask,

"Which sisters are here today, Second Master, I have spent all my time in the Beijing camp, so I must take good care of you today."

The old bustard's eyes became blurred when he heard that, he stretched out his hand and smacked the hands that were already touching inside, and said coquettishly,

"They're all there. No one is picking up customers for Tweety today, and the others should be gone. Instead, there are quite a few generals in the army. It seems that the generals of the frontier army have pre-ordered those people."

Jia Lian was taken aback, the action of the good guy is fast enough, those guys don't call him when they come out now, it really is different.

"Sure, I'll ask Cui'er and Hong'er to come over to drink with me when I get back. You guys have to feed them well today and see if they've lost weight, ahaha."

The old bustard just came out of Jia Lian's arms, with a reluctance on his face, he teased and said;

"Then the second master hasn't gone in yet. It's useless to try it. My family all want to go to the latrine. Come here as a distinguished guest on the third floor."

"What about the third floor? It's lively on the second floor. Come to a few more tables and order some food and drinks for my brothers. We will serve you delicious food."

"Hey, listen to your second master."

The drink was originally invited by Jia Rong, but Jia Lian didn't want to be in the limelight. Jia Rong didn't care as long as the matter was done, but she didn't feel right.

The two were also regular customers, so they didn't need anyone to take them with them, and went into the Chunlou on their own.

The whole Chunlou is bustling with people, the flower seat on the first floor has long been full of people, most of them are sergeants, at first glance, it is the frontier army, the Beijing camp, and then there are a few forbidden soldiers, all drinking flower wine here, the atmosphere seems cordial Incomparable.

The same is true on the second floor. There are no partitions but there are quite a lot of gaps between each table. The two went to the second floor to take a look. It is still spacious on the second floor, with space and taste.

Jia Lian didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he chose a table next to the window, surrounded by partitions, and the tables next to it were all empty so he could guard him personally.

Turn around and ask Jia Rong;

"Brother Rong, that's it, look."

Jia Rong looked over and found that the location was okay, but it was not as hidden as the private room on the third floor, but seeing that Uncle Lian was in high spirits, it was not easy to disturb her, so she agreed;

"Success, Second Uncle Lian is here."

Jia Lian laughed, patted Jia Rong on the shoulder, said good boy, sat down, asked people to serve the food directly, and opened three more tables for the guards.

Jia Rong sat on the side and smiled apologetically, but still stopped Jia Lian from ordering with her hand,
"Second Uncle Lian, there are still people here who haven't come here today, wait a minute."

Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he smiled;

"Good boy, even your second uncle is hiding it, tell me who it is?"

Jia Rong didn't dare to hide it, so she told about the fact that she invited Luo Yunhou here in the name of the two prefectures. Jia Lian didn't expect that he was invited, so he hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Jia Rong had no choice but to see her father as a girl from the Qin Mansion and wanted to betroth her to her, but Luo Yunhou went to her mansion a day early and got drunk and cut her off.

The marriage contract was made first, and this time I want to see if Luo Yunhou can let Luo Yunhou call off the marriage, and the Ningguo Mansion can pay 10 taels of silver as compensation.

Jia Lian's eyes widened when he heard the 10 taels of silver, and wondered to himself whether it was true or not, whether there was something else going on inside, or other suspicions, the Grand Competition in the capital was coming, Jia Rong meant to seize the marriage, In other words, to buy a relative, the key is to pull yourself to face Luo Yunhou, what kind of drama is this singing.

Jia Lian couldn't make up his mind for a while, this matter was the Ningguo Mansion's fault, and Luo Yunhou had never dealt with him before, so he didn't know if he was a good talker. If it wasn't for this, it would be troublesome. It was mainly Jia Zhen's meaning or Jia Rong's own meaning.

"To be honest with Second Uncle, did you meet first or Luo Yunhou first?"

Jia Rong was taken aback for a moment, hesitating and speechless, Jia Lian shook his head in his heart when he saw this, and didn't know what Brother Zhen was thinking, this matter was obviously at the fault of the Jia family, so he had no choice but to leave Let's go and have a look.

"Then you can only ask about this matter. If it works, it's fine. If it doesn't work, don't bring it up again."

"Everything is up to Uncle Lian."

Jia Rong had no choice but to nod helplessly, wondering why his father would always choose that woman, and which family's daughter didn't marry.

Jia Rong herself really didn't know the specifics, that is, her father insisted on marrying the woman surnamed Qin. Could it be that she must be someone else?

The two waited for a while, but they didn't wait for Luo Yunhou to come, but Jia Zhen came. It turned out that Jia Zhen, who was in Ningguo Mansion, couldn't wait after thinking about it. After Lai Sheng and his guard Ding also came to Yichun Courtyard, they found Jia Lian and the others who were sitting on the second floor after entering the Chunlou.

When I came here, I was not ambiguous, and I directly ordered the top plate and served the food and wine. At first, Jia Lian wanted to ask if I should wait, but seeing Brother Zhen's indifferent, vaguely angry look, he didn't ask. After all, it wasn't his own. It's not easy to take a break, eat, drink and have fun, so I added it and ate it.

Only Jia Rong, who was on the side, thought in his heart that he was broken.

This is not over.

The maid began to serve the food and wine, and moved the tables and chairs to make room.

Geisha and dancer were ordered, and then the top cards of Chunlou came over one by one. Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were impatient and pulled the old friend into her arms.

A peach-eyed woman in a bright red silk satin, with a blushing face and eyes slightly closed, one hand reached into the woman's collar. The woman seemed to be unaware, and she was carrying a jug of old wine, pouring wine for Jia Zhen, not far away. There are also a group of geisha singing, babbling and singing, and the dancers are also dancing.

Accompanied by Jia Lian in general uniform and Jia Rong in civilian uniform.

Looking at Jia Lian, he was also wandering around, holding in his arms a woman who was equally gorgeous and graceful, but she was another number one girl in Chunlou, Xiao Cui.

Second Master Lian's appearance has changed after staying in the Beijing camp for a month. He was originally tall and handsome, but when the barracks rolled around, he became more masculine, and sister Yao in his arms became more enthusiastic.

Jia Zhen glanced sideways secretly, and cursed secretly in her heart, these kiln sisters still like handsome.

But I also thought of the little lady of the Qin family I met yesterday, that figure, that beautiful woman, and that expression all appeared in the depths of my heart, and when I looked at the top card in my arms, I felt that she was vulgar I'm just a fan, suddenly lost interest, and turned to ask the boy next to me;
"What time is it, go and see if Luo Yunhou is here?"

The boy was so frightened that he immediately went downstairs.

Jia Lian smiled on the side;
"Brother Zhen is so angry, don't be impatient, this Lord Hou just came to the capital, maybe he doesn't know the way."

Only then did Jia Zhen relax for a moment, and secretly said that although she is a nobleman, she is still a brat, maybe she is still a young child.

Thinking of this, some treacherous schemes were formed in his heart, and it was probably because he wanted to get some benefits from the Jia family.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhen couldn't help pinching the wine cup in her hand, as long as she can get divorced, it doesn't matter if she suffers a little, the self-righteous Jia Zhen thought of the key point, so she said sarcastically;

"After all, Marquis Luo Yun is from outside the customs, and he has no father to discipline him. He doesn't have the courage to be noble. I don't have the same knowledge as him. As long as he retires obediently, we will get along well in the future. If not, we will definitely not give up."

Jia Zhen has invested a lot of money this time, and she is ready to use both soft and hard methods, and has enough money, so she must call off the marriage.

Jia Lian didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't care. Jia's family is in full swing in the capital now.
"That's enough, Brother Zhen, they are all nobles. Let's talk about it and explain the total. It's almost enough."

Jia Zhen didn't take it seriously, but she still urged
"When Marquis Luo Yun arrives, the second younger brother should stand aside and say some things about Yuan Zhuan."

Jia Lian drank the wine in his hand, knowing Jia Zhen's meaning, one sang bad face and the other sang red face, and they talked with each other.

"Brother Zhen, don't worry, that's natural, you can't write two characters Jia in one stroke."

Then, Jia Zhen, who was still joking, suddenly showed a stern face, and said coldly;

"If Marquis Luo Yun still refuses to withdraw the engagement, don't blame me for disregarding honorable friendship, toasting and refusing to eat or drink fine wine, just show him some flair."

Seeing Jia Zhen in front of her like this, Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat. My good guy, I'm not here to throw a grand banquet for Luo Yunhou. What's the purpose here? Didn't I just come here to drink flower wine and relax.

Seeing that there were more and more people on the first and second floors, and the faces of the dignitaries were somewhat familiar, Jia Lian suddenly felt a little uneasy.

I don't know if there are other things in it. What is Brother Zhen's intention? How can he be so stubborn? Isn't he just a woman? , the daughter of a petty official whom I have never heard of, the heir of the Ningguo Mansion must have this daughter?
There are so many daughters of old relatives, which one is not good, but the little lady of the Qin family, isn't this a mental barrier?As if he was looking for a wife by himself, this thing made a lot of trouble.

Jia Lian, who is such a veteran of flowers, really doesn't understand what Jia Zhen has done, and he is not sure whether the matter was ordered by Jia's family or Jia Jing, to test Luo Yunhou, or Wang Ziteng's order. The Grand Competition is just around the corner, and it can be said that they each show their special abilities.

Stuffed, unlucky.

Jia Lian couldn't hold back and asked directly;
"Brother Zhen, tell me, is there anything else you haven't told me about this?"

Jia Zhen didn't understand what Jia Lian meant, so she asked suspiciously;
"What do you mean by brother Lian's words?"

Jia Lian pushed the woman in his arms away, let her sit aside, and asked seriously;
"The Grand Competition in the capital is coming soon. Is there anyone behind this matter who instructed Brother Zhen to find Luo Yunhou, such as Jing."

Jia Lian didn't tell the story of King Beijing, but ordered the wine with his fingers, and wrote water characters on the table. Jia Zhen naturally understood Lian's second brother's intention after reading it. As if not to enter, he nodded his head in a strange way.

But as soon as he nodded, he regretted it. You can't talk nonsense about this matter. Just as you were about to explain, you were interrupted by Jia Lian;

"Then I have counted. This matter can only be taken one step at a time. We really can't fight Luo Yunhou outside the pass. It would be fine if we add other nobles, but there is still hope for water to help, but only It’s just a matter of losing face, but I can’t move him.”

Jia Lian shook his head, naturally he knew that Marquis Luo Yun, who held a heavy army in his hands, would not be able to touch the ministers who were at the same level as Prince Teng, and he could only hinder the young man's face.

Jia Zhen wanted to explain at first, but seeing Jia Lian's seriousness, she couldn't open her mouth.

The two continued to drink and eat,

The heir of the Ningrong Second Mansion continued to talk there, and the servant downstairs ran over excitedly and said;

"Master, there is a large group of people at the gate of Yichun Courtyard, they should be Luo Yunhou."
