Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 29 Jia Zhen: Please help me!

Jia Zheng wants to see him?

Li Weijian smiled at the woman and said, "Okay, I'll change my clothes and go over there."

The mother-in-law walked away with a smile. Li Weijian turned around and saw Qingwen, Xiangling, and Xiuying coming out to greet her.

"Look what this is?" He smiled and lifted up one side of his coat, revealing the cat he was holding in his left hand.

The others were fine, Qingwen said "Ah" with joy in her face, she rushed over and held the cat in her arms, followed the cat with one hand, and said happily: "Fourth Master, where did this come from?"

Li Weijian said as he walked: "I was visiting Nengren Temple early in the morning, and I happened to see this drag gun with a seal - um..." It's broken. Sister Lin's bronchus is underdeveloped. It seems that she can't keep a cat. She bought it for nothing!

Qingwen liked it a little bit and blurted out: "Did you give it to me..."

As soon as the words came out, Qingwen felt something was wrong, it seemed a little too presumptuous.Unexpectedly, Li Weijian entered the house and took off his outer clothes, and said as he took advantage of the situation: "This cat is given to you. The owner is noble, so you must take good care of it."

Qingwen was immediately overjoyed.Xiuying and Xiangling also came over, chattering and teasing the cat, but Hongyu was annoyed.Thinking about what he had done yesterday, he was too embarrassed to imitate Qingwen and ask Li Weijian for help.

Because he was in a hurry to see Jia Zheng, Li Weijian took a sip of tea, changed into a lake-blue gown, and hurriedly walked to the front yard.

At the end of the day, Li Weijian went out of the small courtyard and walked around the east courtyard to the front of Demengpo Zhai.The servant reported and then led him into the inner study.

In Mengpo Zhai, there were not many guests from the Qing Dynasty. There was someone sitting next to Jia Zheng, but it was Jia Zhen, whom he had met once.

Li Weijian only took one glance and felt confident. He immediately stepped forward to greet him and said, "Have you met Duke Cun Zhou? Hey, brother Zhen is here too?"

Jia Zhen smiled and nodded and said, "Brother Jian."

The second master, Jia Zheng, had an inextricable gloom on his face, and he nodded and said: "Resurrection is not an outsider, just call me uncle from now on."

"Uncle Shi."

"Sit down and talk."

When Li Weijian sat down and a servant offered him tea, Jia Zheng said, "Fu Sheng has been leaving early and coming back late these days. I heard that he has gained the trust of Da Sikong and Shao Sikou?"

"I can't say that I'm trustworthy, but I just fell in the eyes of the two adults and helped with some chores."

Jia Zheng said: "It is not easy to win the favor of these two people, but don't delay your homework after rebirth. You must know that no matter how favored you are, you will still have to see the real results in the examination room."

"Uncle Shi's lesson is that my nephew has been busy for a while, so he will concentrate on his studies after completing his errands."

Study?How could Li Weijian waste such effort?

For enlightenment practical studies, most of the subjects in the internal high school entrance examination are related to mathematics, a small part is physics, another part is practical, and the last part is a policy essay.

Except that polishing the strategy requires a lot of thought, Li Weijian believes that there is nothing that can hinder him.

Seeing that Jia Zheng was about to talk about something else, Jia Zhen couldn't help coughing slightly and said, "Second uncle, let's get down to business, right?"

Jia Zhengyi glanced sideways. Although he said nothing, he was extremely dissatisfied with Dongfu's nephew.In official dealings, it is always necessary to have a good conversation before we can get to the point. How can we be so eager?
Seeing that Jia Zheng was still speechless, Jia Zhen simply said: "Brother Jian, I'm here to apologize to you. It's all my fault for that little beast in my family. He drank too much and couldn't take his eyes away from the cat's urine after seeing the money. So, He did something ridiculous.

Today, this little beast has gone to hang out again. Tomorrow I will ask him to come and apologize to Brother Jian.If Brother Jian doesn't feel relieved, I'll definitely make him remember it later! "

These words made Li Weijian look at him with admiration!No wonder Jia Jing went to Xuanzhen Temple and left the family property to Jia Zhen. Regardless of what Jia Zhen did at home, just these words alone made few people in the Jia family compare. (Note [-])

Li Weijian said: "Brother Zhen is a heretic when he says this. It's normal for relatives to have discord with each other. I didn't take it to heart at all, but looking for a green skin to fight... is really a bit much. In the end What’s more important is that the second son of Shaosi Kou’s family is also implicated.”

"That's the truth." Jia Zhen said: "I heard that Brother Jian and the Second Young Master Yan have an irreversible friendship. For my sake, Brother Jian sent a message to the Second Young Master to see how the Second Young Master can resolve the problem. Are you angry?"

"This..." Li Weijian pondered.

At this time, Jia Zheng also said: "We are all members of our own family. It is not easy to cause trouble outside and make others laugh."

Li Weijian changed his mind and made up his mind.Yan Xiyao said at noon that the Jia family should not be involved in this matter. I can't handle Jia Rong and Jia Qiang for the time being, but now I am dozing off and sending pillows.I want to give Jia Zhen a lot of money. According to Jia Zhen's temperament, I will definitely teach Jia Rong a lesson.

Therefore, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhen, I heard that Shao Sikou is quite fond of calligraphy and painting."

Jia Zhen said: "Like calligraphy and painting? It's simple. I'll collect two pieces from the house later and send them to him tonight."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Brother Zhen didn't understand. Young Sikou only likes the calligraphy and paintings in Wangji's calligraphy and painting shop near the Fire Temple in the outer city." (Note [-])

Jia Zhengwu couldn't understand the difference between the calligraphy and painting, but Jia Zhen, the head of the family, was enlightened and nodded sternly: "I see, I have also heard that the calligraphy and painting in Wangji's calligraphy and painting shop are all A treasure.”

Li Weijian and Jia Zhen looked at each other and smiled, which made Jia Zheng feel confused.

Jia Zhen had confidence in her heart and spoke much more relaxedly, saying: "Brother Jian will not care about the past grudges. The elder brother will see it and won't say anything else. When the matter is over, I will invite you to come over and have a drink." "

"Good talk, good talk."

Jia Zhen stood up immediately: "It's getting late, I'm going to the outer city to have a look. Second uncle, brother Jian, I'll go first."

Jia Zhen was afraid that something might change if she was too late, so she immediately got up and left, hurriedly going to the outer city to buy calligraphy and paintings.

After sending Jia Zhen away, Jia Zheng finally came back to his senses.What Wangji calligraphy and painting shop?This is obviously giving money to Yan Xiyao!
He was an upright and pedantic person, and he was extremely intolerant of these official interactions. He couldn't bear to be such a coward, because he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Qiangzi chatted with Li Weijian for a while, and someone in charge happened to come in to report, so he hurriedly sent Li Weijian away.

But Li Weijian Shi Shiran returned to his small courtyard, and when he entered the main room, he saw several maids teasing the cat.

Xiu Ying didn't care the least and just made some fun.She was born as a wild girl in the countryside. When she was a child, she was so hungry that she followed Haiping to catch a cat and burn it.

Hongyu was just an ordinary person. When she saw Li Weijian coming in, she hurriedly came over to serve him;

Qingwen felt the most pity, holding the cat in her arms and not wanting to let go for a moment - this was the cat given to her by the fourth master;

Xiangling, on the other hand, although she cared in her heart and stared closely at him, she didn't dare to go forward and hug her, and just stared at him helplessly.

Li Weijian took off his outer clothes and caught a glimpse of Hongyu who was hesitant to speak. He smiled and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Are you still thinking about what happened yesterday?" "Yes, Siqi is here again today. After a while, I blocked the door and refused to let him in." Hongyu said.

"Well, then don't think about it. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, just be careful in the future."

Qingwen, who was over there, heard this and stroked the cat and said, "Fourth Master is really tolerant. It is also a blessing for us as maids to have a master like Fourth Master. It's just that some people get the Fourth Master." It’s good for me, but what I’m thinking about is the master next to me, and I’m eager to climb a high branch.”

"Who are you talking about?" Hongyu said sternly, annoyed.

Qingwen rolled her eyes at him: "Who knows!"

"you--"

"Stop it!" Li Weijian quickly stopped and said: "Why are you arguing again? It's just some trivial things, not worth a quarrel. By the way, I had some snacks at noon, but now I'm a little hungry, Hongyu , you go and see what’s in the kitchen.”

Hongyu responded, gave Qingwen an angry look, and then turned away.

You could hear needles dropping in the main room, Xiang Ling was a dull boy, and Xiu Ying was a fool, so even though Qingwen was the youngest, when she got angry, the two of them were so shocked that they dared not speak.

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Qingwen, you too, the matter is over, why do you still bring it up?"

"I'm holding back my displeasure." Qingwen said, "I know exactly what she thinks. It's just that the contract is still in the house, so I don't want to offend anyone, and I think the fourth master has a good temper. , I would rather wrong the Fourth Master..."

What this means is that Hongyu accepted Aunt Xue's gift, then turned around and brought Siqi in without asking why.Li Weijian is very sincere in his heart. Although Qingwen is a bit petty and has a high-spirited attitude, if you treat her well, she will treat you sincerely.

Li Weijian II was accustomed to intrigues and deceitful tactics. He knew that he might not be able to return to his true nature, so he was very proud of his innocence and sincerity.

With this in mind, he opened his mouth and said, "She made the mistake unintentionally. Listen to me and I won't mention this matter again."

Qingwen said: "Fourth Master's generosity actually compliments my small belly. That's all, Fourth Master has said something, and I won't mention it again."

After a while, Hongyu happily returned with a food box, and came in and said: "Fourth Master, the old lady sent word today that she made sugar-steamed cheese, and she specially brought a portion for Fourth Master. .”

"Hey, I have to go and thank the old lady later." Li Weijian knew very well that it was Jia Mu who was trying to compensate him.

The food box was opened, and the steamed cheese with sugar in a celadon bowl appeared in front of us. The sweet smell mixed with the aroma of fermented rice and sweet-scented osmanthus was particularly tempting.

Qingwen handed over the spoon, and Li Weijian tasted it briefly, then put it down and said, "It's too sweet. I'm afraid only you girls will like it, so why don't you share it."

The maids happily thanked Li Weijian, and Qingwen quickly found the dishes and divided the steamed cheese with sugar into four portions.

Putting a spoonful into his mouth, Hongyu felt that it was indeed delicious, and thought about the old lady's care, thinking that he could save some money in the future;
Xiu Ying's eyes widened, she had never thought that such a delicious dessert existed;

Xiang Ling was stunned. She liked the aroma of the poems more than the delicious desserts;

Qingwen stammered, thinking that Li Weijian had been looking at her when he was talking, and she thought that the steamed cheese with sugar was clearly left to her by the fourth master who was reluctant to eat it, and the rest was just soaked in light.So after taking a bite, I would steal a glance at Li Weijian.

When only the bottom was left, he shouted: "What's wrong, I almost forgot to leave some for the cat."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "The cat can't taste sweet food, and it won't eat it even if you give it to it."

Qingwen tried it, and the cat sniffed and moved its head away, smiling: "Sure enough! Fourth Master knows a lot."

While joking, Li Weijian stood up, washed his hands, picked up the dishes in the food box and started eating.Just after dinner, someone came outside the door.

Hongyu hurriedly came to report. This time Aunt Xue came in person.

Li Weijian welcomed General out and let Aunt Xue into the room.

After sitting down, Aunt Xue said: "Brother Jian is really a busy man. I sent someone to look for him this morning. I didn't want Brother Jian to leave early."

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Young Master Kou Xiumu has made an appointment a long time ago to come to the mansion today for a talk."

"Brother Jian," Aunt Xue leaned forward slightly and asked with concern: "That matter... what did the second young master say?"

After worrying about it for so long, Xue Pan was going to be unlucky in the future. Li Weijian simply gave him an accurate answer and said: "My concubine has already asked about it. The second young master is busy with things, so I'm afraid he has forgotten about it a long time ago." It’s in the back of my mind. I mentioned it a few times in the past, but the Second Young Master didn’t give me the right words. I just thought, is it better to say that I have to mention it now than to mention it? "

Aunt Xue frowned and thought.

He added: "Brother Zhen was looking for me just now, and I helped connect him with Shao Sikou. This matter has probably been suppressed, so my concubine can rest assured."

"Really?" Seeing Li Weijian nod, Aunt Xue stroked her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, saying, "Oh my God, the clouds in the sky have finally dispersed."

Suddenly thinking of Xue Pan who had a bad temper, Aunt Xue said with a little embarrassment: "Pan'er has been busy with school these days and has never had time to express his anger. I heard him say yesterday that he met Brother Jian on the road and he didn't apologize. Already?"

Li Weijian nodded and said with a smile: "It's just some children's nonsense. If you are a relative, you can blush and turn away. There is no need for my concubine to worry about it like this. This matter has been revealed."

"Just uncover it, just uncover it." Aunt Xue recalled that Baochai said that the old lady seemed to have annoyed the Xue family, so she thought of easing up with Li Weijian to change the old lady's mind.So he said: "It's Pan'er's fault after all. I'll choose a day later, when Auntie is the host, and I can make good amends to Brother Jian."

Li Weijian refused and accepted.Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment before getting up and leaving.

On this day, there was nothing going on in the small courtyard, but the East Mansion was extremely lively.

But Jia Zhen hurriedly ran to Wangji's calligraphy and painting shop in the outer city, gritted her teeth and spent 2000 taels of silver to buy a calligraphy and painting shop. 2000 taels!How much is the annual income in Dongfu Village?

Jia Zhen, who had originally suppressed her anger to beg Li Weijian, became even more angry.It was also a coincidence that Jia Zhen had just entered Ningguo Mansion and happened to bump into Jia Rong who had returned from fooling around in the powder pile.

Now anger arose in her heart, and there was no Qin Keqing around to ask for help. Jia Zhen went up and kicked Jia Rong to the ground: "What a beast! I'm running around here and there for your business, but you, a beast, are running around doing whatever you want." Hey, it’s hard to teach you a lesson today, I’m afraid you won’t be able to learn well in the future. Someone, bring me the family law!”

Note [-]: Jia Zhen is not a thing. This person also has some merits. After all, people are three-dimensional and there can be no pure bad guys.

Note [-]: As mentioned in the previous article, when Li Weijian went to the Yan family for the first time, there was a negotiation between the official and the steward.

　After some communication with the editor, I decided to cut the crappy Xianxia book and concentrate on writing this book.

　　This week is enough, there will be more next week.Everyone remember to catch up on reading on Tuesday, thank you~
