Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 184 Figured it out
In Fayuan Temple, there are countless faithful men and women worshiping Buddha, and half of the young girls wear veils.

After offering incense in front of the Buddha, Qin Keqing did not stay too long. When he led his younger brother Qin Zhong out, Qin Zhong said: "Buddhism is interesting."

It was so interesting that Qin Keqing was frightened when he heard it. He didn't even look where he was, so he could talk nonsense.

He reached out and grabbed Qin Zhong's hand, dragging him all the way out. He walked out of the courtyard wall to the carriage. He felt more at ease because there were fewer people here.

The two maids accompanying him were young, and Qin Zhong should be followed by a male servant and a woman.

When the driver was about to go on the road, several strong men shot out of the diagonal stab and blocked the way. The leader said: "From Qin Bangye's family, follow us." Qin Zhong shivered in fear when he saw this, and hid in his sister's arms, Don't dare to look down.

The coachman and servants tried to stop him, but they were no match. They were knocked down in a simple confrontation and pinned to the ground unable to move.

The two siblings, the mother-in-law, and the two maids were put into the car and taken away in broad daylight. It was really lawless.

Qin Keqing wanted to shout, but the strong men showed their knives and did not dare to shout for fear of hurting their younger brother.

The group of people was pulled into a small courtyard, and a young man with a playful smile came out. After looking at him very frivolously, he sneered: "Are you Qin Keqing? Are you the one who dares to cling to the Jia family? Humph, honestly Stay here."

With that, Jia Rong walked away. Qin Keqing and others were locked in the yard, with strong men guarding the door.

In the afternoon when it was not so hot, Jia Lian left Zhang Mansion and went home. He was stopped by Jia Rong on the way. The man smiled and whispered: "Second uncle, come with me, there is something good going on."

Jia Lian was confused and thought it was about rolling cigarettes, so he followed him to the small courtyard.

Entering the courtyard and meeting Qin Keqing and others, Jia Lian had a question mark on his face: "What are you doing?"

Jia Rong pointed to the group of people waiting and said: "The one wearing the veil is Qin Keqing. At first I thought about forcing her to break off the engagement, but then I thought about it again. The second master only has Guixiang to serve him, so it would be good to have her as well."

Jia Lian is like a thunderbolt. It’s understandable that you don’t accept this marriage. Go talk to your father. What's the deal with kidnapping people? After coming back to his senses, Jia Lian raised his hand and slapped Jia Rong on the back of the head. Jia Rong was stunned by the slap. Jia Lian pointed at his nose and said: "Asshole! Although the Qin family's status is not high, they are also a family of officials. How can it be insulted?"

After taking care of Jia Rong, Jia Lian stepped forward and saluted Qin Keqing: "Miss Qin, my name is Jia Lian. My nephew Jia Rong is young and ignorant. I will deal with him severely when I turn around. Don't take it personally." But Jian Hu Qin Keqing, who was holding his younger brother in his arms, stepped forward and returned the courtesy seriously: "No wonder Master Rong, the Qin family is really high up. Now that the misunderstanding is over, please arrange a few people to send us back."

Jia Lian quickly arranged for his generals to go to the Qin family to report the news, and then arranged for four people to escort them home.

After the carriage left, Jia Lian turned back and glared at Jia Rong: "If I deal with you from now on, don't ask me for help."

Jia Rong immediately begged bitterly: "Second uncle, my nephew is indeed wrong. I thought that I, the direct grandson of Ning Guogong, am not a good match for marriage. How can I have any dignity in front of others from now on?"

Jia Lian sneered and said: "On the important matter of marriage, your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are up to you?"

Jia Rong drooped her head, resentful and refused to defend herself. The little calculations in my heart are constantly going on.

Speaking of Qin Bangye, when he learned that his daughter had been kidnapped, he became very anxious and angry. When he was about to report to the official, he saw the family's carriage coming back. It's just that the driver changed. Qin Keqing and Qin Zhong got out of the car. Qin Bangye hurriedly stepped forward and asked her, "What's going on?"

Qin Keqing just smiled and said: "There was a little misunderstanding, let's go back and talk about it."

Qin Bangye hurriedly let him into the house. Just as he was about to thank a group of generals, they were already more than ten steps away and could not catch up.

After Qin Keqing told Qin Bangye what happened, Qin Bangye looked up and sighed: "This is not a good match! It's too late to regret."

Qin Keqing lowered his head and said nothing after hearing this. Although he was raised in the Qin family since he was a child, he also knew some things. When the most considerate wet nurse in the past left, she once said that there were not many families in the capital who could protect her, and the Jia family was one of them.

When the Jia family sent a matchmaker to arrange a marriage, Qin Bangye never refused.

Fortunately, what happened today was that Jia Lian was sensible, and nothing out of control happened, which is also a blessing.

Jia Rong begged so hard that Jia Lian followed Jia Rong back. When he saw Jia Zhen telling the truth, Jia Zhen suddenly became furious and tried to smash the teacup over it. Jia Lian quickly held him down with quick eyes and hands and said, "Brother Zhen, please calm down. We need to explain this matter clearly before getting angry."

Jia Zhen said: "He can't help but change the world!"

Jia Lian said seriously: "Now that I'm here, I must explain this matter clearly to avoid causing trouble!"

Jia Zhen felt guilty for a while, looked around, waved her hands away, and left the two of them talking.

"I can't say anything about this. You can ask the old lady, or go to Xuanzhen to inquire about that person. In short, I can't say anything." Jia Zhen said this, and Jia Lian was even more annoyed.

"Okay, if you don't tell me, I won't ask any questions. It's Brother Rong's place, and I'm protecting him. Don't make things difficult for him."

Jia Zhen wanted to refute, but when he saw Jia Lian's face looking ugly, he said angrily, "I'm the one..." Jia Lian glared at him, Jia Zhen immediately turned off the fire and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't embarrass him."

Jia Lian then smiled and said, "Brother Rong has quite a talent for business. From now on, the Jia family will most likely be counting on him for their wealth. If you treat him better, it won't be a problem to spend money in the future."

When it came to expenses, Jia Zhen said willingly: "That's right. This time Liaodong and his party are not Brother Lian. Dongfu will have to pay more than 10,000 taels. Speaking of which, Prince Dongping is also involved. I... …”

Jia Zhen couldn't go on. He also guessed that they just wanted to scare him, but he didn't expect that someone had tampered with the saddle.

"There is no need to talk about the Liaodong caravan. Let's wait patiently and see the reactions of all parties before talking about it. Mr. Xuanzhenguan, please give me a message. Practice with peace of mind and don't get involved in the secular world anymore."

Mentioning Jia Jing, Jia Zhen showed an angry look and said: "Every month he spends a lot of money on elixir refining, cinnabar, mercury, and various medicinal materials. Whenever he wants money, he will be scolded if he is slow."

Jia Lian didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he said goodbye and left. Jia Rong was waiting outside, and Jia Lian gave him a smile to indicate that it was okay. Jia Lian went straight to Jia She's courtyard in the east cross courtyard, and no one dared to stop him.

There was a sound of playing in the distance, and then Mrs. Xing came out in a panic to speak. Jia Lian raised her hand and pointed: "Shut up!"

Ms.

Jia Lian raised his hand to push her back and rushed in.

A table was set up in the room. Jia She was shirtless, and the two aunts on the left and right were only wearing tulle.

Seeing a man suddenly come in, the two aunts exclaimed, stood up and ran inside.

Jia She, who still had some wine, was left behind, looking at the opposite side in a daze.

When he saw it clearly, Jia She was so angry that he overturned the wine table with both hands. He jumped on the spot and yelled: "You little beast, you are disobedient and unfilial! How dare you sit on my head and shit like your mother." Jia Lian stood where he was. On the ground, he calmly watched Jia She go crazy. And find some useful information from his words.

Seeing Jia Lian's calmness, Jia She suddenly remembered that his son was no longer the man who could beat and scold him at will. Immediately, his momentum dropped by three points, but he still insisted on scolding: "You little beast is still not convinced. What are you looking at? Do you still want to kill me?"

Jia Lian was already looking at him calmly, with no emotion at all. Jia She lost his temper again. He looked at the overturned wine table in front of him distressedly. He seemed to have almost woken up from the wine. He took two steps back and sat on a chair with a lot of eyes. He was a little sluggish, and his speaking speed also softened a little: "Little beast, can't you wait for someone to report something?"

The deficiency of earth energy has been completely revealed.

Jia Lian looked back at Mrs. , Jia Lian felt that the air in the room was uncomfortable to breathe, so he exited the door and stood on the porch looking at the courtyard in a daze.

After washing up, Jia She woke up from the wine and knew that Jia Lian must be in a hurry, otherwise he would not be so helpless.

When he came out dressed, he saw Jia Lian thinking in the corridor, walked to the door, and coughed.

Jia Lian looked back, stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting, saying: "Father, please step aside. I have something important to ask."

Jia She didn't make any more trouble. After waving his servants out, the two of them talked in the corridor.

"Did father know in advance about the marriage between Ningguo Mansion and the Qin family?" Jia Lian went straight to the point. Jia She was stunned when he heard this: "You respect your uncle as the master of matters, so you should ask him."

Jia Lian asked again: "Do grandmother and father know the details of the girl from the Qin family?"

A stern look flashed through Jia She's turbid eyes, then disappeared immediately, and his tone became slow: "Uncle Jing, you did something bad back then and almost got imprisoned. It was all thanks to the shadow of our ancestors that the Supreme Emperor saved his life. It's not Come to think of it, your two grandfathers made both bets and failed, and someone came up that no one expected."

Jia Lian heard the smell and immediately asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"

Jia She rarely showed an arrogant expression and curled his lips: "Some things cannot be explained in just a few words. If you ask about the marriage between the Dongfu and the Qin family, I can only tell you that no matter which family it was, all parties were betting on it. , but all the bets of the four princes and eight princes failed. The emperor still used good methods while he was ill. It is said that at that time, the emperor thought of the old prince's good fortune, so he took the little prince to his side to raise him. I don’t know either. Ask your grandmother.”

Jia Lian felt that the lack of information in the past was really a huge potential threat, so he continued to ask: "Father, you might as well make a guess, and I can confirm it later."

Jia She looked thoughtful, and then said after a while: "Perhaps you are unwilling to respect your uncle, and your grandmother can't get over your private actions, so you have to tell her in private. I guess your brother Zhen doesn't even know the details. , if you ask, you will definitely get scolded. Look at your brother Zhen, you can see how you respected uncle in the past. At that time, he was very popular, let alone me, even your grandmother may not have much. Take it seriously. When I was inconspicuous, you showed disrespect to my uncle many times. "

There are too many things determined by a person's origin, the most valuable of which is the platform, which brings vision and knowledge. This kind of platform is highly exclusive, so ordinary people's lifelong struggle is just the starting point for people on the platform to survive.

Jia Lian's thoughts began to drift away. The information Jia She had in his hands was still astonishing. Jia She was unbearable. Looking at the problem from another angle, I can obviously be prosperous and wealthy just lying down, so why should I struggle?
Various factors led to Jia's mother's partiality. Jia She's method of resistance turned out to be just to enclose herself in the east cross courtyard, and even opened another gate to embarrass the Jia family. This is not the Seven Injury Fist, this is self-mutilation. ah.

Because of this, it is understandable that Jia She does not have complete information about Qin Keqing.

Do you want to ask Jia Mu? Jia Lian walked around the courtyard as if there was no one around, not noticing Jia She's indignant behavior as he walked away angrily. Leaving Jia's house means that even if he lies down, he can live a prosperous and wealthy life away, which fully exposes Jia She's stern appearance and inner eternity. Faced with Jia's mother, Jia She, who was powerless to resist, and Jia Lian, the son who could bring the future, Jia She still softened first.

As time goes by, Jia Lian no longer has the aggressiveness he had when he first crossed over. All aspects of pressure and constraints are essentially the price he must pay for everything he has now. This world has its own underlying logic of operation and will not disappear just because someone is unhappy.

A person who cannot adapt to society, even if he is a genius, will still be abandoned by society. If a genius wants to make a difference in reality, he must first learn to adapt to this society. Those who are high-minded and reclusive will always be able to stay in a small circle.

Should he go to Jia Mu and prevent Qin Keqing from entering the East Mansion? This question has been lingering in Jia Lian's mind.

Time passed quietly until Mrs. Xing appeared quietly with her maid and said cautiously: "Brother Lian, your Guixiang is here to find you." Jia Lian came out of his hesitation and suddenly became enlightened.

Yes, why get yourself into trouble? I'll just jump out!

As long as I am on the outside, I can naturally avoid the storm to the greatest extent and at the same time, I can see everything clearly.

The better you develop outside as an outsider, the safer the Jia family will naturally be.

As for the inside of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Rong still has to make a fuss about it. It's okay to do bad things, just don't do it yourself. Be sure to be able to pick yourself clean at any time.

Jia Lian had a feeling of enlightenment. Why did he think so much? Since he couldn't break into Xuanzhen Temple and force Jia Jing to break off the engagement by grabbing his collar, he could just sit back and watch. Qin Keqing is Jia Mu's most proud granddaughter-in-law. If Jia Jingxin is unwilling, why not Jia Mu?
What if? By then, won't Jia's family still have the status of a relative of the emperor?

Looking at the problem from Jia Mu's perspective, she really doesn't have many chips in her hand, and she is not willing to completely cut any of them.

Suddenly enlightened, Jia Lian's expression became calmer. When he saw Guixiang standing outside the courtyard, he suddenly felt ashamed: "What's going on? I'm blocking you from going out?" Guixiang looked shocked, and the woman who looked after the door looked at her. He knelt down in fear.
