Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 30: Water is out of trouble!
Unlike Jia Zheng and Jia She, there is still Jia Mu in the West Mansion, and Jia Zhen is the unshakable boss in the East Mansion!
After giving the order, several servants went up to hold Jia Rong down, took off his pants, and found sticks to beat him.He only beat Jia Rong until he cried for father and mother!

Jia Rong's personal servant saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly found a maid to deliver a message to Youshi's room. Youshi hurriedly found Qin Keqing, and the two of them ran out of the ceremony gate to ask for help, and saw Jia Rong being beaten. Her buttocks were covered with blood and she fainted. Only then did Jia Zhen order her to stop.

Uncle Zhen left in anger, not caring about Jia Rong's life or death. You and Qin Keqing hurriedly ordered people to carry Jia Rong back to the house, and invited the imperial doctor of the mansion to come and check.

When Jia Rong woke up, she didn't know why she received the beating today.After the reason became clear later, Jia Rong did not dare to hate Jia Zhen, and felt that Xue Pan was a brainless person, so she hated Li Weijian in her heart and wished she could get up and tear his bones apart, cramp his muscles, crush his bones and spread his ashes!
Let's not mention this.

The next morning, after Li Weijian had just practiced, Hongyu came to report that Wu Haiping had something important to report.

Not caring about changing clothes, Li Weijian went out with a bunt.Although this small courtyard in the northeast is within the Jia family's mansion, it is separated from the inner house by a side road. Behind it is the nepotistic house where servants live. It is similar to the Lixiang Courtyard and is not considered an inner house.

Once they entered the small courtyard, Li Weijian couldn't bring Hai Ping in, so he just talked to him in front of the door.

When they met, Haijiao held up his hands with a tired expression and said, "Sir, that can be done."

Li Weijian asked: "Why didn't you come to deliver the message yesterday? Didn't I tell you?"

"Tsk," Wu Haiping said angrily: "You are the master, and your legs will be broken if you open your mouth. I just met the proprietor in the afternoon yesterday. When I go to the Ding brothers' house, Tiandu It's dark. I won't be back until the second watch, so you should have a good rest then."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Sure, I'll mark you down. I see you're tired too, so you might as well take a rest today and don't follow me yet."

Hai Ping said: "That won't work. My boss has made a big bet and asked me to be at your service at all times. Master, if your well doesn't work, not to mention you, the little one will also have to suffer."

Li Weijian laughed loudly: "I'm sure it will work."

Wu Haiping was half convinced and left with anxiety in his heart.After washing up, when Hongyu came back with breakfast, she opened the food box and said, "Fourth Master, I just heard from Sister Liu in the kitchen that there was a scene in Dongfu until midnight yesterday."

"Huh? What's the fuss about?"

"Uncle Zhen doesn't know how to look down on Uncle Xiao Rong. When they met, he couldn't help but go up and beat him. It's not because Grandma Zhen and Grandma Xiao Rong came so quickly. I was afraid that Uncle Xiao Rong would be beaten to death in that moment. !”

Jia Rong was beaten?Well done!I couldn't get revenge on him this time, but I didn't expect that there would be twists and turns, and Li Weijian finally plotted to go back.

He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen also has a bad temper. How can you beat him without any reason?"

As he was talking, someone suddenly called the door from outside.Hongyu hurriedly welcomed General out, and then shouted in the courtyard: "Fourth Master, Sister Ping'er is here."

Li Weijian put down his bowls and chopsticks and was about to go out when he saw Ping'er leading several maids and women standing in the courtyard with smiles on their faces.

He hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Why is Miss Ping'er here? Come in and invite me."

"No, I really can't get away this morning. I have to wait for the second master and second grandma to eat later." While talking, Ping'er took out a scroll from his outer clothes and said, "Uncle Zhen sent me something this morning." This painting was sent to Second Grandma, saying that it would be handed over to Fourth Master as soon as possible. Fourth Master, please take a look and see if there is anything wrong. If it is right, I will return right now."

Li Weijian took the scroll, unfolded it, glanced at it casually, and said with a smile: "That's probably right. I'm sorry to bother Miss Ping'er."

"Fourth Master, don't say that. It's been cold this morning. Fourth Master is going back soon, so don't send it away."

Li Weijian sent Ping'er to the door, and then Shi Shiran returned, holding the painting scroll in his hand, thinking secretly in his heart that he expected the painting to be thrown away, otherwise Jia Zhen would not be so angry.

At half past midnight, Li Weijian went straight to Yan's house.The familiar man tied up his horse and entered the garden through the back door. He stared at the Liu family and his son as they were busy digging a well, but Yan Fenzhen was nowhere to be seen.

Just as he was wondering, he caught a glimpse of Yan Fengzhen's personal servant and hurriedly called him over to inquire.

The boy had a strange look on his face. Perhaps he felt that Li Weijian had a close friendship with the second young master and had nothing to hide, so he lowered his voice and said: "Young Master Li, last night the second young master showed his face to the maid. I got up this morning. It’s a little late, I’m having dinner right now.”

Li Weijian blinked, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.Yan Fengzhen is already a pornographic guy. He is afraid that he will have to live for another three or two years. Normally, 16 years old is enough for him, right?

But the young man misunderstood and said: "The second young master made a marriage arrangement long ago, but my father-in-law passed away before the twelfth lunar month. My wife saw that the second young master was more interested in the craftsman's work than the girl's family, and she felt a little anxious. …”

Li Weijian regained his psychological balance in an instant, and he only started eating meat when he was twenty years old. Yan Fengzhen is indeed a technical geek.

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Where is Manager Xu? I have something to do with him."

"Young master Li, you want to ask Xu to take care of things? Young master, please wait a moment. I will call you here."

The boy walked away quickly, and within a moment Steward Xu came looking for him.He stepped forward and bowed his hands in greeting: "Master Li, do you want to find me?"

Li Weijian looked around, pulled Manager Xu under a peach tree, took out the scroll from his arms and handed it over.

"Let's take a look, Manager Xu. Is this scroll correct?"

"Huh?" Manager Xu took it and took a look, then looked at Li Weijian suspiciously: "Yes, yes, but Mr. Li... what do you mean?"

With the warm relationship between Li Weijian and Yan Fenzhen, and the master Yan Xiyao's great appreciation for Li Weijian, Mr. Li didn't even need to report when he came to the house. He was a good general manager, so why did he have to rush to send money?

Li Weijian said: "To be honest, this is given to you by the Ningguo Mansion. I also wanted to ask Manager Xu to bring a message to Young Sikou, so I said it would be fine."

Manager Xu was dealing with old matters, so he didn't ask what the matter was, and immediately said: "I understand, I will send someone to the Yamen to inform the master."

Li Weijian smiled and cupped his hands, saying nothing else.

"Resurrection is coming."

The second young master, Yan Fengzhen, said hello to this side of the carriage from afar. As he walked along, his figure was sluggish and top-heavy, but his face showed lightness.

Li Weijian immediately smiled teasingly: "I heard that Brother Jing Wen was delighted with a beautiful woman yesterday, but I didn't know it until it was too late. I will definitely send you a congratulatory gift in the future."

Yan Fengzhen was startled, then jumped to his feet and cursed: "Which forgetful kid let it slip? Yes, it must be Shu Mo! Look at me if I don't treat him well today!"

"Eh?" Li Weijian hurriedly held him back and said with a smile, "It's not a bad thing. Why are you so anxious, brother Jing Wen?" His voice was lowered and he asked narrowly: "How was yesterday...?"

Yan Fengzhen's face turned red, and after a long while he hesitated and said: "Okay...it's okay, but it hurts a little, and my waist is a little sore when I woke up early in the morning."

Just then, I suddenly heard Liu shouting from behind: "The water is out!"

Li Weijian immediately left Yan Fengzhen and turned around and hurried over. He glanced down at the mouth of the well. Sure enough, he saw water seeping around the well wall. The water soon rose to more than three feet.

Liu Da tied a rope around his waist, reached out to fish it out, put it in his mouth, tasted it, and said with a bitter face: "It's bitter, the little old man has told me a long time ago that we can't dig a well here."

Li Weijian didn't care and said with a smile: "You're so nagging, just follow my previous instructions, block the wall of the well, and keep drilling down!"

If I were given such an order on weekdays, I would have to carry buckets to fetch water all the time. It is possible that the water fetched out would not be able to catch up with the water seeping out.This was different with the volute centrifugal pump. The Liu family and his son, several big and round servants of the Yan family, and even Wu Haiping personally shook the handle, and the water pump buzzed to drain out the bitter water.

The Liu family's father and son mixed Sanhe soil with glutinous rice juice, and put a layer of bluestone on the outside. When the water went down, one layer was put on the other. Even so, this work could not be completed in three or two days. …………………………

Rongguofu.

It was just after midnight. The eldest man, Jia She, had ordered Mao early in the morning and then returned to his house.He led the first-class general Shenwei Jueer, and the Fifth Military Department also received a casual errand. Every day he went home and just finished the meal, and there was nothing else to do.

Dashun inherited the former Ming Dynasty, and the Fifth Army Headquarters corresponded to the Five Army Governor's Mansion.

The eldest master, Jia She, led a group of servants and boys back home in a grand manner. They entered the east courtyard and went straight to the inner house.

Yesterday, Jia She had just combed the hair of a maid, and that maid was a knowledgeable person. Jia She was thinking about it in the yamen, and now that she is home, she is thinking about being gentle again.

After entering Deyimen, Mrs. Xing hurriedly greeted her: "Master is back?"

"Ah."

Mrs.

"A woman's opinion!" How can Jia She have the mind to run an errand?He scolded: "How can a family like ours compete with the people below for jobs? Besides, Prince Tengcuo had to be recommended by my Jia family. How could he be in this situation?"

You should stay away from these external matters from now on. "

Mrs. Xing was obedient and did not dare to disobey.She was born in a small family, and she was a prostitute. She always looked at Jia Shema with an eye on her and never dared to say no.

After walking a few more steps, Jia She suddenly stopped and leaned over: "Why are you following me? If you have nothing to do, go to the old lady and wait on me."

Mrs. Xing responded with frowning eyes.

When Jia She saw him leaving, he was about to go to the maid's room when suddenly a woman came to report that an adult had come to look for Jia She.

"My lord? What lord?"

The mother-in-law said: "I came to report to the master after hearing the news. I was in a hurry and forgot about it for a while."

"Useless things!"

Cursing, Jia She had no choice but to walk back.After leaving the Eryi Gate in the east courtyard, a boy informed him that the visitor was Zhan Chong, the censor of the city patrol.

Jia She frowned deeply and wondered secretly, could it be that the incident between Qiang Geer and Rong Geer was not covered up, and the censor patrolling the city simply came to arrest them?That's not right. If you want to take someone, you should go to Dongfu.

He had doubts in his heart and hurriedly ordered people to invite Zhan Chong to the outer study.

He sat down in the study outside, and within a moment the person in charge led a young official in green robes in.

The official came forward to pay a brief courtesy: "I am the official patrol official Zhan Chong. I have met General Jia."

"Hmm, Ambassador Zhan is too polite. Please take a seat. Come on, let's serve tea."

Zhan Chong sat down calmly, took a sip of the fragrant tea after being served, and then said directly: "I came in a hurry, I really have no choice. Because there were two murderers out this morning, one of them said, then Ni When I was giving instructions, I told you that the person who gave the money was Xue Pan who was staying in your mansion."

"Oh... this..."

Without waiting for Jia She's explanation, Zhan Chong continued: "I just went to the Ministry of Punishment to check the case files a few days ago. If I remember correctly, Xue Pan... died of a sudden illness earlier, and he ran away again for some reason. Have you arrived at your mansion?"

"This...I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding."

Zhan Chong snorted coldly and said: "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, General Jia might as well investigate for himself. But if there is something wrong, I will tell you the truth if I can't say it. If someone in your mansion fails to report the knowledge, it will be a lie." .”

"Ah?" Jia She was so frightened that he jumped up: "Zhan Yushi, there must be some misunderstanding in this. Yushi, wait a moment, I will ask the reason and I must give an explanation to the imperial envoy."

Zhan Chong stood up and said coldly: "No hurry, General Jia will check himself first. I have important matters to attend to. I will visit you again in the future. I'll take my leave."

"Huh? I'll send the envoy off."

After sending the patrolling censor out of the door, Jia She turned around with a gloomy face.Aunt Xue is Mrs. Wang's sister, so she is all relatives on Jia Zheng's side. How could he, Marquis Jia En, miss such a thing as losing face to his second wife?
He immediately called out a young boy: "Go and see if Madam has gone to the old lady's house. If she hasn't left yet, ask her to follow me to see the old lady. That will tell you something big!"

"Go and see if Lian'er is here. If he is, ask him to go to the old lady's place too."

After receiving the order, the boy turned around and ran away.

After a while, Mrs. Xing, who was fully dressed, walked quickly and asked eagerly: "Master, what happened?"

Jia She had already forgotten about the rude maid last night, pulled Mrs. Xing over, and muttered in a low voice, until Mrs. What should I do?"

"Come with me to see the old lady. It's up to the old lady to make the decision on this matter!"

Without further words, Jia She led Mrs. Xing straight to Jia Mu's place.

At this moment, Jia Mu went to the room. Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Sanchun, Daiyu and Baochai were all there, but everyone was talking about the arrangements for Daiyu to have a baby in the future.

Yuanyang came in and reported that the eldest master and his eldest wife had come to see him.

The smiling Mother Jia immediately stopped her smile and frowned, "Why are you here looking for me now?"

Yuanyang said: "The elder said there is something urgent."

"Call him in."

Yuanyang responded, and in a moment, Jia She and Mrs. Xing were brought in.

The two of them came forward to meet and greet each other in a polite manner. Without waiting for Jia Mu to ask questions, Jia She said urgently: "Mom, something is wrong. Just now the censor patrolling the city came to see us. Something happened with Wenlong at my concubine's house!"

"what?"

Jia's mother was still surprised when she heard an exclamation from the left compartment, but Baochai was so angry that she suddenly fell on Xichun.

　I calculated my coding speed and initially decided to update it on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with a base of 4k for each chapter.
