Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 99: The fight between gods is cloudy and foggy

"Jia Lian, it's good for everyone to leave some room for everything." Old Man Liu put away his elder's expression and talked as an equal. He also stood up. Only when they faced each other did they realize that they were just as tall as each other. Jia Lian is sixteen years old during the Chinese New Year, and he still has a lot of years left. This thought made Old Liu's heart tighten. What will happen in the future?

Jia Lian also put away his playful expression and looked at Old Man Liu seriously: "You are an elder, and you are fairly fair, not as outrageous as some people. It is very rare to say, and I respect you for this?" Confucius said: How can we repay kindness with kindness? Now I can still stand calmly, without jumping three feet high, and I have left some room. I have reached the age where I can establish a family, and the things I do and the words I say cannot only be seen. Benefits, don’t see the consequences. People must be responsible for their own speech and behavior.”

Old Liu looked at Jia Lian expressionlessly, his eyes suddenly changed, how should I put it? Just like an old hen with a group of chicks, when faced with an eagle, she spreads her wings to protect the chicks, while desperately launching a futile and crazy counterattack.

Jia Lian was not afraid in the face of such a look, and conveyed a message with his eyes: "I don't mind the death of fish and the net, it just depends on whether you have that ability." 】

Peace cannot be sought, peace sought through struggle is the real peace.

Old Man Liu's mentality of regarding himself as the patron saint of the academy was completely exposed at this moment.

Jia Lian didn't know the old man's background, but he showed up without fear. This is the background of a top noble.

The Jia family is undefeated. If Jia Lian is defeated, he will go home and lie down. What is the future of Qingyun Academy?

Don't think that the Qingyun Party is very powerful. In fact, the most powerful group in the Great Zhou Dynasty is still this group of nobles. As the first people in the empire, they took away the second largest cake in the Great Zhou Dynasty and have been suppressed by two generations of kings. , is still the top power, even the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Chenghui have to win over.

Old Man Liu sighed, said no more, and walked past Jia Lian to the gate. Two Longjing Lieutenants came to stop him and smiled. "Please stay, don't make it difficult for us." Old Man Liu took out a sign with no expression on his face: "See clearly."

Wang An appeared in time. After taking a look at the sign, he seemed to have encountered a frightened mouse. He took a step back and then stopped, saluting respectfully: "Slave..."

Old Man Liu interrupted his salute in time: "Get up, get out of the way, and prepare your horse."

Half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves outside Tsinghua University came closer and closer in the night. The Imperial Guards on guard stopped dozing and cheered up.

Old Man Liu on horseback strode forward and raised the sign in his hand: "I want to see you, Your Majesty."

The guard took the sign and ran away without even looking at it.

The Supreme Emperor, who was washing his feet in the garden and getting ready for bed, frowned slightly when he saw Dai Quan coming in, but he didn't have an attack.

"Sage, Liu Ren wants to see you." Dai Quan, who spoke, held the sign in his hand.

The Supreme Emperor glanced at it and suddenly fell into a trance. The bloody storm of that year was still before his eyes.

Two moments later, the Supreme Emperor, who had changed into light home clothes, was playing with the rosewood sign in his hand. He looked at Old Man Liu who was standing and bending to greet him after he came in. He said softly: "I still think you want this sign." Bring in the coffin.”

"The signboard of Qingyun Academy can't be reached. It's a dead thing. It won't be a loss if you take it out in exchange for a good result."

There was no trace of reluctance on Old Man Liu's face. He raised his head and looked calmly at the Supreme Emperor in front of him. The Supreme Emperor was still three years older and looked a little younger. Unlike Old Man Liu, he looked like an ordinary little old man when he walked out.

The Supreme Emperor seemed not to have heard what he said. He looked up at the heights and muttered to himself: "Twenty years ago, you led the army in the northwest plateau to resist the imperial decree and killed more than 100,000 people in one breath. Sun Huazhen was no more than a county magistrate. , the memorial stated: Within a thousand miles, there is not a single foreign man, even those who are still nursing. Your name is wrong, you should not be called Hehe, you should be called Human Slaughter."

Old Man Liu's expression remained unchanged, he did not defend himself and remained silent. The Supreme Emperor continued to talk to himself: "At that time, I would rather be dismissed from office than take out this sign to beg for mercy."

After hearing this, Old Man Liu finally responded, simply and neatly: "Qingyun Academy was founded by Taizu and cannot fail!"

A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, he stood up, looked at Old Man Liu and said angrily: "Where was your courage when you and I snatched the cotton clothes sewn by my mother? Then you wanted them all. For one piece of clothes, how dare you Hit me. Why do you want to stare at Qingyun Academy when you are old? "

Old Man Liu didn't say anything, but the Supreme Emperor flashed a hint of anger and stamped his feet: "Keep the sign. Without this thing, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight against the fourth son, and you won't be able to protect the lineage of Qingyun Academy." After that, the Supreme Emperor stepped forward and grabbed the Old Man Liu put the sign into his hand. After Old Man Liu took it, his body stagnated slightly and his tone was slightly choked: "Thank you, third brother."

The Supreme Emperor looked up at the sky, his body trembling slightly and said: "You and I are the only old people we were together with back then. In the future, you can come and see me often when you have time, is that okay?"

"The common people obey the decree!" Old Man Liu seemed to have returned to his previous image of a little old man. The Supreme Emperor raised his foot and kicked him angrily. Old Man Liu did not hide. After two kicks, the Supreme Emperor was no longer angry. He turned around and said, Said: "Dai Quan!"

"My slave is here!" Dai Quan appeared like a ghost, walking without making any sound.

"Go and pass on my oral instructions. Wang Zhiwang, the chief examiner of the current rural examination in Shuntian Prefecture, is dismissed. Because of the laziness of teachers who are not strict in teaching, all the teachers in Qingyun Academy have resigned and returned to their hometowns. They cannot be reinstated as officials within five years. Those who have sons cannot participate in the imperial examination within ten years. Become a teacher Yes, we can’t let the disciples accept their work if something happens, and let the disciples take the blame if something happens. The students are innocent, so let’s leave it at that.”

Dai Quan took the order and left. When Old Man Liu was about to leave, the Supreme Emperor looked at him leisurely and said, "It's time for you to rest."

Old Man Liu paused for a moment, then continued to kowtow: "The grassroots family still has 300 acres of land, so they can just go back to their hometowns to farm."

"Hmph, the Imperial Manor in the south of the city belongs to you. Don't cut off the incense of the old brother." When the Supreme Emperor said this, Old Man Liu knocked his head heavily on the ground and directly gave a [gold brick] two halves, saying : "The common people thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

It was already late at night, Dai Quan appeared at Qingyun Academy, and Sun Huazhen and other officials came out to greet him. After announcing the decree, Dai Quan waved his whisk, turned around and left, not wanting to stay any longer.

After Sun Huazhen stood up, she looked back at everyone and said, "Just follow the order! Long Jinwei sent the students home safely one by one. If something went wrong, he would find a place to wipe his neck. The others stayed quietly and waited for me to come to the palace to see you at dawn. Let’s talk about it later.”

Jia Lian, who originally thought he was going to feed mosquitoes in the corridor all night, did not expect such a change. It was like a fight between gods and goddesses, and he couldn't understand it at all. Just this matter has led to many hidden bosses.

Why did it come, and why did Jia Lian go back? A Lai Da jumped out of the concierge, stepped forward and saluted: "Second Master Lian is back, the old lady is not asleep yet, she is still waiting."

Jia Lian looked at the energetic Lai Da and thought to himself: This guy can stay in the position of the housekeeper and his son can be an official, not just by being trusted. Speaking of which, Lai Da was not Jia's mother's dowry attendant, but a son of Jia's family. "Second Master, I still admire Uncle Lai who called Lian Geer more." As a human being, you must be broad-minded. This is a persona and cannot be broken! Jia Lian's smiling words seemed to be a joke, but he didn't give Lai Da a chance to react. He sped up his feet and rushed towards Jia's mother's residence.

Lai Da, who stayed where he was, was weak all over and his legs were trembling. With the support of the people around him, he took a few steps forward. After returning to normal, he stamped his feet, his expression quickly recovered, and he quickened his pace to catch up.

When Jia's mother saw Jia Lian, she breathed a sigh of relief. It's hard to bear it even now. He stood up and said, "It's good to come back. Go and have a rest. Your father and your second uncle asked me to drive them away." Jia Lian kowtowed to Jia Mu and left. When he came out, he saw Lai Da coming and smiled strangely. Jia Lian laughed the same way the people in the film laughed at night.

Jia Lian didn't believe a word of the so-called statement that Jia She and Jia Zheng asked Jia's mother to drive away. Jia She and Jia Zhen drank a lot and probably didn't come at all. Jia Zheng probably came, but he didn't stay too long and took the initiative. Go. Mother Jia was holding a rosary and was accompanied by two little maids. She must have kicked those ladies away because they thought they were in the way.

Jia Mu likes to be lively, but she also has time to do things. Now about Jia Lian's affairs, Jia Mu may not be able to sleep that night unless she sees the person coming back with her own eyes.

In the palace, Yuanchun has evolved from being unbearable at the beginning to being able to take the lead.

After all, it is physical work, so it is normal for Emperor Chenghui not to get up first.

While he was still washing up, Qiu Shian appeared and told him what happened last night. After Emperor Chenghui listened expressionlessly, he said with a hint of coldness in his tone: "The handling is very good. Just follow the order. Sun Huazhen has worked hard. He will be rewarded with a thousand silver dollars, a python robe, and a jade belt to protect his young son. He is the fourth-class light vehicle captain. Each of the officials handling the case will be rewarded with five hundred silver dollars, and the officer Long Jin will be rewarded with twenty silver dollars each."

With the development of coinage, Emperor Chenghui discovered more and more that only when you have money in your hands can you do things easily. Doesn’t the person from Tsinghua University want to reward you with money? No, no, no, no money in hand, what reward can I get? All said and done, reward money is the most affordable and most inspiring.

As long as he has money in his hands, Emperor Chenghui believes that no matter what problems he faces, with his current position, he will be invincible.

Jia Lian had a saying that Emperor Chenghui believed deeply. The ultimate manifestation of any situation in the country is money.

In the prosperous times, the country's finances must be good and there is no shortage of money to do things. In the end of the world, the finances must collapse first, and there will be no money to help the victims or rectify the armaments, so a big ship will slowly sink.

Currency is originally a dead thing. When it is empowered by the circulation field, currency is no longer a dead thing, but shows itself in another face.

Currency takes the form of rights under certain circumstances.

People who don’t have a lot of money in their pockets don’t have the right to bark, so work hard to make money!

Jia Lian got up at the beginning of noon. His eyes were opened, but his soul had not returned to its original position.

Many people didn't sleep well last night, and there were still many unresolved things on their minds.

After washing up and eating, he took a leisurely walk to the main hall. Jia She also got up and was still yawning when he came out of the inner door.

After meeting Jia Lian, Jia She waved his hands impatiently: "Don't bother me if you have nothing to do in the future. I can't control you, and I don't want to."

Jia Lian smiled and still bowed to say hello. Jia She waited for him to finish his greetings, then turned around and went back.

Jia Lian didn't care and rushed to where Jia Mu was.

As soon as he walked out of the east courtyard door and walked less than twenty steps, he heard Guixiang cursing.

"What's wrong with the second young lady being born by a concubine? Our second master can't bear to say a harsh word. It's your turn to speak, a slutty bitch? Siqi, what are you afraid of? Go up and slap her, ten slaps in the face, if one is missing, you will Get out of the second lady’s place.”

Jia Lian came closer and took a look. Guixiang grabbed a woman's collar and forced her to kneel down so that Si Qi could take action. This woman is evasive and refuses to give in. Guixiang is not strong enough and will not be able to hold her for a while.

Deal with it impartially? nonexistent!

Jia Lian walked over expressionlessly and looked at the woman coldly. The woman suddenly knelt down and said, "Mr. Lian, please forgive me. I just said it unintentionally."

Grandma Li is another old lady who relies on her elders to show off her skills. Jia Lian knew that Si Qi was being bullied without even looking at her.

"Siqi, if you open your mouth for thirty days, you won't be allowed to eat for three days."

Without saying a word, Jia Lian walked away. This matter was not enough for him to spend more time on it. That is to say, we must save some face for Mrs. Wang, otherwise this old guy will be driven out to fend for himself, and everything will be over.

At this time, everyone in Lai who came after hearing the news saw Jia Lian coming and quickly said blessing. Jia Lian said yes, nodded and passed. We all came here to break up the fight, but with the situation in front of us, we didn't dare to say a word. After Lai Da came home last night, he talked in his sleep while sleeping on the kang, shouting: "Second Master Lian, please spare this old slave." 】

Jia Lian's look just now made everyone's legs weak. I had previously thought about donating an official position to Lai Shangrong, but looking at the current situation, it was best to seek Jia Lian's approval before doing anything. Otherwise, even if you donate your official position, you will still have a real vacancy, and you may die outside inexplicably. This is not an exaggeration at all. Among the men in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian is the only one who looks exactly like the Duke of the country back then.

Si Qi watched Jia Lian go away. When he saw that Lai didn't dare to say a word even if he came, he suddenly felt a strong sense of pride in his heart. He took a step forward, gritted his teeth, raised his hand and said fiercely A slap in the face: "Once! Don't hide! Two slaps!..."

Si Qi counted while spanking. As the second young lady of the eldest family, all the grievances she had suffered over the years were released in the palm of her hand.

Grandma Li is also a shrewd person. When she saw everyone Lai hunkering down and hiding away, she immediately understood that she couldn't escape this slap and could only live with it. If you want to blame me, blame yourself for being so troublesome and being used to bullying others.

hatred? Of course I don't dare to do it now, but more of a fear. Afraid that Jia Lian would miss him, he would have someone dig a hole in the back garden to make compost someday! I have stayed in Rongguo Mansion for a long time, and I have never seen or heard of such things.

That is to say, Jia Mu is getting older, her heart is much softer, and she doesn't deal with her servants that much. If you don’t believe me, ask the old people. When they first got married, there was no one in the back garden who dared to go there at night.
