Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 140: Such a despicable act

In front of the Rongxi Hall, Jia Min stood on the steps, raised his hand and pointed at the three people who were about to step forward, and said with a frosty face: "Stop!"

Jia She and Jia Zheng were stunned for a moment, with a hint of fear on their faces as they saw Jia Min's rapid change. Jia Zhen was even more unbearable and took two steps back. Jia Zhen has personally experienced how powerful this aunt is. Back then, because he took advantage of Jia Min's personal maid, Jia Min blocked her at the door and scolded her. She apologized repeatedly and was let go.

Jia She is the boss after all. After a brief adjustment, an awkward smile appeared on his face: "You have worked hard all the way, little sister."

Jia Zheng, however, had a straight face and pretended to be an elder brother: "My little sister has already married into the Lin family, how can she still take care of the Jia family's affairs?"

Jia Min ignored Jia She, but looked fiercely at Jia Zheng, raised her finger and pointed at the plaque above and said, "Brother Xinxin, look up and see what's written on the plaque?"

Jia Zheng knew without looking up that the words "Rongxi Hall" were written on the plaque of Rongxi Hall.

Jia She, who was temporarily let go, quickly took a step back and pushed Jia Zheng out to face Jia Min. Even though Jia Min has been married for many years, the eldest brother still feels a little scared when he thinks of his own sister who dared to take action but still hit her.

Jia Zheng's face darkened: "What do you think, little sister?"

Jia Min said: "It seems that you know that this is the Hall of Rongxi. Now that you know, why do you tolerate a servant from the royal family running wild here? Why, the glory that the Jia family's ancestors bought with their blood is not as good as a person's face in your eyes Is it important? Second brother puts his personal face above the glory of the Jia family, don't you feel guilty when facing the matter of the ancestor's spiritual position? "

The servants of the older generation were better off. Many of the servants who came in later saw this scene and finally knew where Aunt Jia’s reputation came from. In a few words, the three most established men of the Jia family said that they did not dare to enter the Rongxi Hall.

The old people secretly curled their lips in their hearts, what does this mean? Back when my aunt was in charge of the family, there were even more exciting things.

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately put away her displeasure. What did her two sons say? It's a pity for Jia Zheng. Jia She has been given up for treatment. A mother's pity for her son can only turn into a sigh in the end.

He finished speaking quickly and left quickly, as if there were several wolf dogs chasing him behind.

Those words were like sharp claws that easily tore through Jia Zheng's thick skin. For a moment, Jia Zheng became angry. Just when he was about to get angry, he looked up and saw Jia Min already rolling up her sleeves. Then he remembered that if he really did it, he would definitely be beaten. A beating.

Jia Lian quickly responded: "I've met Brother Zhen! Who were the two elders just now?"

Jia Lian was dumbfounded, maintaining his gesture of greeting, and waited until Jia Zheng had gone far before getting up.

"Your second brother... By the way, why hasn't Lian'er come back yet? It's been so long." Mother Jia thought of some things in the past and took the initiative to change the subject. Some words can only be kept in the heart and cannot be said to Jia Minming.

When Jia Zheng saw this, he strategically retreated, flicked his sleeves and said, "It's unreasonable! Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"

No, what is this?
When Jia Lian was fucked, his face was covered, and his eyes were confused, Jia Zhen staggered out, with a palpitating expression on his face. When he saw Jia Lian, Jia Zhen quickly stepped forward and saluted proactively: "Brother Lian I’m back, it’s been a hard journey.”

Jia Min, who easily won the victory, watched the three people escape with disdain, turned around and returned to the house. Seeing Jia's mother looking at her with an unhappy face, she stepped forward with a smile and said: "Mom, these two brothers are really a little bit different." I haven’t made any progress at all, but fortunately my ancestors have blessed me and I still have Lian’er.”

After saying that, Jia Zheng turned around and left, leaving Jia She alone to face Jia Min. Now Jia She also panicked and subconsciously took two steps back.

Seeing this, Jia Zhen didn't dare to stay. She quickly folded her hands and bowed: "My nephew has something to do at home, so I'll leave first."

People really don't talk about it easily. Jia Lian happened to arrive at the door of the yard at this moment. He saw Jia Zheng coming out with an unhappy face. Jia Lian stepped forward to greet him: "I've met my second uncle." Jia Zheng looked at Jia Lian with a complicated expression and raised his sleeves to cover his face. He kept his face and left without saying a word.

Jia Zhen hurriedly said: "Hey, I won't mention it, I won't mention it, it's hard to say anything. That's it for today. Tomorrow, let your sister-in-law cook in person and cook some good dishes. My brother will take care of you. I still have things to deal with, brother. Take the first step.”

"Second Master, please carefully step on the threshold." Lai Da appeared quietly, his tone was so flattering that it made people feel sad.

Then Jia She also came out, with a look of embarrassment on his face. He was startled when he saw Jia Lian, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Lian'er is back, hurry in, your grandmother and aunt are waiting anxiously, I have to take a step in advance .”

"Hmph, when you were at home, you bullied our two brothers. After you got married, you still bullied our two brothers. Didn't you marry in vain? I don't know how Lin Ruhai tolerated your temper." Jia She He instinctively stood up and spoke. This scene is familiar, right? You are familiar with it. There have been many scenes of Jia Min verbally quarreling with her second brother in the past.

"You, you, you..." Jia She raised his finger and pointed at Jia Min. Unable to find anything to say, he took a few steps back, turned around and left.

Jia Min didn't let him go and taunted: "My good brother, you haven't changed at all in these years. Whenever there is any trouble at home, I hide away. Lian'er goes to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion to seek justice. You The father is not worried about him and is still making sarcastic remarks behind his back. Why do you have the nerve to come to Rongxi Hall? Aren't you afraid that your father's heroic spirit will come to find you at night?"

Jia Zhen also left. Jia Lian stood there and looked at the embarrassed figure. Thinking of Jia Min's reputation, he couldn't help but smile.

Jia Lian looked at him with a smile but not a smile. Without any nonsense, he crossed the threshold of the courtyard and strode forward. In the courtyard of Rongxi Hall, maids and women on both sides stood to say blessings. Jia Lian nodded frequently, crossed the courtyard, went up the steps, and entered. nave.

Jia's mother had already stood up, her eyes were red, and she supported Jia Min to stand firmly.

Jia Lian took three steps forward, pushed the gold mountain, toppled the jade pillar, and said loudly: "My grandson Jia Lian, say hello to my grandmother!"

Jia Mu's nasal voice trembled: "Get up, get up!"

Just as Jia Lian was about to get up, there was a little man beside him, who reached out to help him. When he saw clearly that it was Daiyu, Jia Lian showed the gentlest smile on his face: "Thank you, cousin!" His eyes passed over Jia Baoyu's face. The man was looking at him with jealousy, and quickly lowered his head when he looked at each other.

Daiyu whispered: "Brother Lian saved my parents. It's such a small thing, but I don't deserve my brother's thanks."

Jia Lian stood up with a smile, hugged his hands and bowed to Jia Min: "Report to my aunt, Jia Lian was lucky enough to protect the lintel of Jia's family and return safely!"

Before Jia Min could speak, Jia's mother had already spoken first: "My dear grandson, even if you are going, you should bring a few more people with you."

Jia Min twisted her lips and said, [Mother, that’s not what you said before. ] Daiyu turned around and snickered.

Jia Lian raised his head and smiled: "Grandma, Prince Zhongshun's palace is not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. Behind my grandson is the protection of the Jia family's ancestors. Even if he goes alone, he won't hurt a single hair. Things are going very well. Those who insult the Jia family should kill themselves!"

Jia Min listened and proudly said to Jia's mother: "Mom, Lian'er has grown up and can protect the lintel of the Jia family!"

Jia Mu stretched out her hand and said: "My dear grandson, come forward and let grandma take a good look!"

Jia Lian stepped forward and squatted down, letting Jia Mu put her hands on her face, looking up with tears in her eyes.

Jia's mother burst into tears. Seeing the family drama between the grandfather and grandson, everyone turned their heads and wiped away the tears.

About two moments later, when his mood gradually eased, Jia Lian stood up and said to Jia's mother: "Grandma, my aunt and cousin have worked hard all the way. Please settle down and rest early to avoid damaging your health. My grandson will go and offer a stick of incense to Brother Zhu."

Jia's mother didn't leave him alone, and told Jia Lian to go back and rest early after finishing his work. This journey lasted two months, from late spring to mid-summer, and he was seriously ill, and maybe half of his life was gone.

After saying goodbye to Jia Min and Daiyu, Jia Lian left the yard and went straight to where Jia Zhu was.

When standing at the gate of the courtyard, Li Wan was waiting with Jia Lan in his arms. When he saw Jia Lian entering the gate of the courtyard, Li Wan immediately knelt down and said, "The widow, Li Wan, thanks Uncle Lian for seeking justice for my husband!"

When Jia Lian saw this, he immediately turned sideways and explained hurriedly: "Sister-in-law Zhu doesn't have to be like this. It's about the lintel of Jia's house. Lian doesn't dare not to go. He has to go." That's what he said, but Li Wan felt aggrieved in his heart. Who can know?

Jia Zhu's death was not good-looking, was it just Jia Zheng who was embarrassed? It was the widow and son who suffered the most.

If Jia Lian had not come to seek justice, the servants would have looked down upon Li Wan and Jia Lan in the Hall of Rongxi from now on.

When Jialan grows up, when people outside mention his father, how should they talk about him? [Being beaten to death by family law because he was caught in rape? 】

When Jia Lian made such a fuss, the public opinion outside naturally became that the palace steward was bullying others, and the number one scholar of the Jia family came to demand his life! As for Jia Zhu, naturally no one cares about it. For Li Wan and Jia Lan, it is a good thing that Jia Zhu's affairs are ignored.

"Sister-in-law, please get up quickly? Lan'er is still young! If you hurt yourself, what will Lan'er do in the future? A motherless child's life is like grass!" Seeing that Li Wan couldn't afford it, Jia Lian sighed and spoke. The words were spoken with sincerity, and Li Wan could hear the sentimentality in them. The words "motherless child" were really too loud for Li Wan.

Li Wan got up silently, and Jia Lian walked forward and came to Jia Zhu's memorial tablet in the middle hall. He silently reached out to take incense, lit it on the candlestick, put his hands in front of his forehead, knelt down, and after three bows, he got up to burn incense and came back to face the emperor. He said to the spirit throne: "Brother Zhu, go well. My younger brother will definitely take good care of my sister-in-law and Lan'er's affairs."

When he turned around, he saw that Li Wan was about to kneel down again. Jia Lian said quickly: "Sister-in-law, don't be polite. If you have something to do in the future, just send someone to tell me. The people in the Jia family are accustomed to talking about red tops and white whites. If there is any neglect, let me handle it." ”

After Li Wan thanked him, Jia Lian didn't dare to stay any longer. After all, he was an orphan and a widower.

After leaving the courtyard gate, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, Li Wan was wearing a filial piety, and the impact of the scene was too strong.

Jia Lian didn't even dare to look directly, especially when Li Wan was thanking him, his figure...

After silently reciting "I am not a traitor to Cao" twenty times, he finally calmed down the turmoil in his heart.

Hey, after all, I was led astray by all the teachers in my childhood!

Speaking of which, why haven't you seen Mrs. Wang? Jia Lian was quite surprised and couldn't care about her for a while.

Returning to the Dongkua Courtyard, Guixiang led the crowd to greet him. Jia Lian went into his old home. After washing and changing clothes, he told his chief attendant to take messages to a group of generals and gave fifty taels of silver notes to each family. This time going south, Jia Lian's truest feeling was that with the protection of this group of family generals, he could go all the way. These generals were so skilled that Jia Lian didn't need to worry about anything along the way, everything was handled smoothly.

These are the most valuable talent resources left to the Jia family by Jia Daishan and other ancestors. It's such a shame that it was put on hold for so long.

After returning from this trip south, Jia Lian fully realized that although sailing was comfortable, it had great limitations. If you are really in a hurry, you still have to rely on horses to ensure mobility. From now on, it's okay to be an official in Beijing. Once he is released, it will be much more convenient to run away on horseback if something happens due to the public security situation in this era.

I used to focus on the imperial examination, but now I am a Jinshi. I have prepared for safety in advance. From now on, it is time to pick up the bow and horse.

You don't want to kill the enemy in front of the battle, but you want to be able to gallop on your horse when you need to run away.

To be honest, with Jia Lian's status, if he really needs to go into battle in person, it will definitely be an irreversible situation.

While she was resting on the recliner, Yuanyang came in front of Jia's mother. Guixiang led her in. After seeing the ceremony, Yuanyang said: "My ancestors have something to say. The second master has worked hard all the way. Let's rest for two days first. After recuperating, we can have a feast." ”

Jia Lian stood up, clasped his hands toward Rongxi Hall and thanked Jia Mu. Yuanyang hesitated and said, "Yuanyang thanks Master Lian for his kindness to the Jin family!" After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed. Jia Lian didn't react for a moment and got angry. Suffer it.

After Yuanyang bowed three times and stood up, Jia Lian came to his senses and said: "Jin Shi acts cautiously and abides by his duty. Why should I be careful!"

Yuanyang bowed to express his blessing and said: "Second Master, you don't have to be too modest. The family has long been convinced that everything is clear. My maid must retire."

The relationship was sent by Jin Shi in a letter, so it’s hard to explain. Forget it, there’s no need to explain.

Yuanyang couldn't help but care about it in his heart. In the letter, Mingshi mentioned everything about Jia Lian's arrival in Jinling. He was lucky enough to warn Yuanyang that Jia Lian's words could determine life or death, and he must not be negligent in the slightest.

After the mandarin ducks left, Guixiang started broadcasting today's news again when she came back.

"The second wife, Mrs. Wang, has been ill for several days after losing her son. The caravan of the Jia family to Liaodong came back, and Lai Er was carried back. The specific details are unknown, and it must not go well. The second master's My classmate Mr. Li came here and left a few words, saying that the second master was leaving in a hurry and it was too late to see the letter and he didn't have time to send it off in person. He complained that the second master should not do this next time. "

Before the news was finished, Jia Rong came in like two exhaust pipes emitting black smoke, sparks and lightning all the way. As he entered the door, he shouted: "Kill me with anger, kill me with anger!"

Seeing him like this, Jia Lian reached out and took out his ears, and said calmly: "What are you doing? The bookstore is asking for orders?"

Jia Rong then said seriously: "To answer my second uncle, the bookstore hasn't asked anyone to order it, so it's almost the same for me."

Jia Lian looked solemn and sat up: "Oh, tell me carefully."

Jia Rong said: "Ten days ago, a general escorted Leng Zixing to Beijing and handed him over to the second house for disposal..."

It was the time of Jia Zhu's funeral, and the second room couldn't take care of it for a while. He was locked up in the woodshed, and Leng Zixing cut himself off with a belt in the middle of the night. Zhou Rui and his wife have each eaten twenty pieces of food, and they are still recovering from their injuries. Just after the first seven days, Jia Zhu was sent away and buried. It was really lightning fast. The next day, Lai Er returned from Liaodong and brought back a bolt from the blue.

This time the Jia family's caravan went out of the customs, and everything went smoothly at first. However, something went wrong at Shanhaiguan on the way back, and half of the goods were detained. Lai Da went to negotiate. In a hurry, he spoke uncontrollably, said some harsh words, and had someone beat him up. Fortunately, I was merciful there and my life was not in danger. Even so, I had to lie down all the way back.

The key is that all the goods that made money were detained. After the goods brought back to Beijing were sold, half of the capital was lost.

Jia Zhen didn't make any money, so when Xuan Zhenguan wrote another letter asking for money, Jia Zhen became interested in Jia Rong's private money.

Jia Zhen held a banquet and pretended to be affectionate and asked Jia Rong to come and have a drink. Jia Rong thought it was because of his successful career and was looked down upon by his father, so he ate and drank happily. He never thought that Jia Zhen would wake up after getting drunk by Jia Rong. Only then did Jia Rong realize that the person lying next to her was a concubine of her father. Before Jia Rong could react, the woman started crying loudly...

Jia Rong was extorted of 1,500 taels of personal money. What was disgraceful was that the concubine died suddenly that night.

After telling what happened to Jia Rong, Jia Lian was stunned. Is there such a thing?

Ordinarily, with the property of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rong's private money is really nothing? Even if Jia Zhen feels sorry for the loss of the caravan, there is no need to worry about Jia Rong's net worth, right? And it was done in such a shady way.

"Second uncle didn't understand, did he? I didn't understand it at first, but later I found out that he wanted to keep the water flowing for a long time. From now on, he would have a handle. They are obviously father and son. If he wants money, I can tell him. Why don't you give it to me with both hands? Unexpectedly, he acted like this. He made a confession and pressed my fingerprints while I was drunk. It stated that I would have to hand over five hundred taels of silver every quarter from now on."

Jia Rong said quietly, the resentment in his tone was so strong that it could not be dispelled.

Jia Lian really felt a chill down her spine. Jia Zhen must have felt that after Jia Rong had a backer, it would be difficult to control her. In order to seize the long-term benefits brought by the bookstore industry, she went to extreme lengths.

"What are your plans?" Jia Lian really didn't expect that the time would come so quickly.

After hearing this, Jia Rong looked back, Jia Lian raised his chin slightly, Guixiang immediately started to chase people away, and everyone was kicked out.

Jia Rong in the room lowered his voice: "Second uncle, I can't live this life anymore."

Jia Lian looked thoughtful, and Jia Rong became more and more anxious: "Second uncle..."

Jia Lian waved his hand: "Don't worry!"

Jia Rong said: "Why are you not in a hurry? He also said that he arranged a marriage for me and asked me to take a thousand taels to hire a matchmaker. I only had a few silver left in total, and they all went into his pocket. It's all my fault for being careless. He usually doesn't keep his mouth shut, and he knows everything about his family. Also, even the women in the family who are of some color have not escaped his hands. Maybe he is tired of it. He has not been close to women for a while. He took Jia Qiang and the others with him. A few days after Jiao Da came back from escorting Leng Zixing, he got drunk and cursed at Jia Zhen, saying that only a pair of stone lions at the door of Dongfu were clean. I haven’t touched a woman with a finger!”

Jia Lian heard that something was wrong and asked, "You didn't touch that one, did you touch something else?"

Jia Rong suddenly looked embarrassed. Jia Lian raised his hand angrily and pushed him hard. Jia Rong didn't hide when he was hit on the back of the head. After receiving the blow, he explained: "It's really not my fault. It's all those women." He took the initiative to flirt with me. I saw that he didn't want to, so I just tasted it, not even a few times. "

[The father and son are really from the same origin in their next work! 】

Jia Lian, who was still a little conscience-stricken, has now completed self-psychological treatment!
