Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 342 Domineering

At the end of April, Emperor Xifeng opened his mouth, and there were guards in imperial robes looking at him, and the barefoot imperial censor Hanlin inside wanted to kill people. How could the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty dare not refuse to pay, so the collection of the deposit was very smooth, and there was no need to mention it.

After Jia Cong finished his evening classes, he realized that his kung fu had progressed very quickly, and he was secretly happy. He thought that his martial arts achievements in this life should be higher than those in his previous life.

Suddenly I saw Amber coming to send a message, saying that the old lady was inviting me.

Jia Cong had no choice but to wash and change clothes hastily and follow her to Rongqing Hall.

Sister Feng smiled and said: "Brother Cong is here. Let me tell you some good news. Yesterday, the imperial concubine sent the eunuch out with one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

I asked him to hold a peaceful ceremony for three days from the first to the third day of the lunar month at Qingxu Temple, perform operas and make offerings, and asked Brother Rong to lead all the men to kneel down and worship Buddha. There are also rewards for the Dragon Boat Festival. are you going? "

Jia Cong sneered and said, "I won't go if I don't have time." Feudal superstition, praying to gods and Buddhas can keep the family safe? Nonsense.

Everyone laughed.

Jia Cong was stunned and said, "Why are you laughing?"

Sister Feng said: "Just now we all made a bet on whether you would go or not.

Girl Bao and Girl Lin both said that you definitely didn’t want to go, and it turned out to be true. Damn it, you caused me to lose another host. "

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I'd say go for a walk, just to relieve your boredom. Bao Yatou will go too, and even your mother will go too. Even if you live forever, you will sleep at home."

Baochai was afraid of the heat and didn't want to go out, so she had no choice but to agree.

When Sister Feng heard about it, she smiled and said: "My ancestors are going too, it's good to be brave! It's just that I won't be able to use it anymore."

Jia Mu said, "Tomorrow, I will be on the main floor and you will be on the next floor. You don't have to come to my place to set the rules, okay?"

"This is because my ancestors love me." Sister Feng smiled, then looked at Jia Cong and said, "Tomorrow all the sisters will go, including Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou, so you won't go?"

Li Wan, Tan Chun and others all snickered, only Baochai and Daiyu could invite Brother Cong to this big Buddha.

Jia Cong pondered for a moment, since there was nothing going on at home anyway, so he said: "In that case, I will just follow the crowd. By the way, what gift did the eldest sister give me?"

"You have more than us. You have got two fine palace fans, two strings of red musk beads, two ends of phoenix tails, two cloud brocade summer clothes, a collar of hibiscus mat, a jar of imperial realgar wine, and a basket of imperial rice dumplings. Qingqing Wen and Qianxue both have them."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "What did the sisters get?"

"Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou have less wine and rice dumplings than you. Baoyu also has less summer clothes."

"The rest only have fans and counting beads. By the way, Er Yatou and Brother Huan have an extra set of the Four Imperial Treasures of the Study Room." Wang Xifeng has an excellent memory and knows every family treasure.

Jia Cong smiled and nodded. It seemed that the eldest sister had adopted her "unheard advice."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "I also told you Qiao Zong'er. Qingxu Temple is in the south of the city, next to our village. The village built by your Aunt Wanyan is not far away. You can stop by and have a look. .”

Everyone knew that Wanyanwen had bought a lot of land outside the city and built Zhuangzi under Jia Cong's order. Although they felt that it was inappropriate for her aunt to show up in public, no one dared to say anything.

Only Jia Mu couldn't stand it and said, "Brother Cong, you should also have some concerns.

If you want to build a village, you don't need Wanyan girl to supervise it, just send any steward there.

If people knew that our aunt was dining out and sleeping in the open, with hundreds of men, how would she behave? "

Everyone nodded secretly in their hearts.

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The old lady is too worried. You'er followed me in front of the Liaodong formation and killed the enemy with ease, let alone this matter.

Moreover, most of the people on the farm were Jurchen men and Tatar female slaves. If she didn't keep an eye on them, they would be afraid of causing trouble. Besides, Cong Qian'er has been turned into a sieve by ginseng. Are you still afraid that people will say this? "

Jia Mu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You, I don't know who you are like with this reckless and irresponsible temper, and you don't know how to change it. Who is like you, who has been in office for only two days and has a room full of impeachment scandals."

All the girls covered their mouths and chuckled.

Jia Cong shrugged and said: "Old lady, haven't you heard a sentence? Only great heroes can show their true colors, and they are true celebrities. Cong is upright, but he is afraid of being impeached by a villain?"

Mother Jia was also very angry and had to spit. There was really nothing she could do about her grandson.

The girls laughed.

The next day, there were many vehicles and people in front of the Rongguo Mansion.

The deacons and other people there smelled that the imperial concubine was doing good deeds. Mother Jia went to burn incense. It was the first day of the lunar month, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival. Therefore, all the things used were complete and different from those in the past. Same.

When I was young, Jia Mu came out. Jia's mother was alone in a sedan with eight people, and Li Wan, Sister Feng, and Aunt Xue were each in a sedan with four people.

Baochai and Daiyu rode together in an eight-treasure carriage with a green cover and pearl tassels, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun rode in a carriage with a vermillion wheel cover, and Qingwen and Qianxue took a carriage with a purple cloud cover.

Behind them were dozens of girls, mothers-in-law, and grandmothers from each house. They each took their besties to the car, laughing and noisy for a long time before getting on the car.

Jia Cong frowned impatiently, women are trouble.

Seeing that it was almost done, he led Baoyu, Jia Huan and others on horseback to clear the way, followed by cars all over the street.

Because Jia Cong was traveling, Jinyiwei had already sent out captains to clean up the streets and drive away the people along the way.

The group exited Ningrong Street, headed south along Wagonshi Street, exited Xuanwumen smoothly, and then exited You'anmen along Caiyuan Street. After leaving Shenjing and going up the official road, my eyes suddenly opened up, the carriages and horses were speeding up, and the little girls couldn't help but cheer and chatter non-stop.

After walking for a few miles, I suddenly saw dozens of horses galloping towards me from the opposite side. The official road was seven or eight feet wide, but it happened to pass by the Jia family.

Just hearing a scream, the two bearers were knocked away by the fierce horses. Jia Mu's sedan suddenly tilted and almost fell over.

Jia Mu exclaimed, luckily there were six bearers left, and they hurriedly stabilized the sedan.

Jia Cong was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Seeking death!" He reined in his horse and turned over.

The young man who was the leader of the knights also turned around, looked Jia Cong up and down, raised his hands and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, the horse was frightened."

Before he finished speaking, dozens of people behind him laughed in unison, very wildly.

Jia Cong sneered, and with a glance, he turned out to be an old acquaintance.

Except for the unknown leader, Xiong Lin, the prince of Baoan Hou, Zhu Hong, the prince of Yingchuan Hou, Zhu Zhou, the prince of Liu'an Hou, Qi Zheng, the prince of Qingyang Hou, and Zhao Guan, the prince of Ningling Hou, are all behind him, and the stars are like the moon. Surrounding him in the middle, it is obvious that this person has a good background.

Just as Jia Cong was about to have a fit, he suddenly heard a gentle voice coming from behind him: "Uncle Dang, since it was an accident, let's just let it go for Xiao Wang's sake.

Inside the sedan is Mrs. Rong Guo. How about I apologize for Li Zhen? "

The man said as he dismounted, went to the sedan chair and cupped his hands and said: "Old lady, the young king Sun Qiu is just returning from a hunting trip with all the distinguished princes.

The horse of Li Zhen, the prince of the Marquis of Guanyang, was frightened. Unexpectedly, it frightened your old driver. I hope you will forgive me. "

Mother Jia hurriedly stopped in the sedan chair, opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and said with a smile: "The eldest prince is so polite. What is the value of such a trivial matter? Are you not injured?"

Sun Qiu smiled and said: "Thank you, old lady, for your love. We are all fine."

Jia Mu smiled and said: "That's good, that's good, I'll take my leave."

"Old madam, walk slowly." Sun Qiu slightly cupped his hands and stepped aside gracefully.

Jia Cong watched with cold eyes and saw Sun Qiu, who was about twenty-seven or twenty-seven years old. He was wearing a brocade robe and a golden crown. He had a handsome appearance, a calm expression, and he talked and laughed politely, which made people feel like spring breeze.

However, Jia Cong was a lord who had been killed on the battlefield, so he would not accept this trick. He smiled coldly, did not dismount, and slowly reined in his horse.

He said: "Eldest Prince, there is no need for you to apologize for this matter. It just so happened that I learned a method of treating frightened horses in Liaodong. It was very effective. It just comes in handy today. Yuanba!"

Zhang Yuanba smiled and rode a super "giant horse" - a Shire horse brought by a horse dealer from the Western Regions. He walked up to Li Zhen, suddenly took off the copper hammer on the saddle, and hit Li Zhen's horse on the head hard. superior.

boom! The BMW hissed miserably, rolled over and fell, his skull shattered, and he died on the spot.

Li Zhen was agile and in a state of shock and anger, he held the saddle with his hands and flew off the horse without being injured.

"Bastard!"

"court death!"

"What are you doing!"

"Be bold!"

The noble princes hurriedly reined in their horses and took a few steps back, cursing with their halberds pointed at them, and then hurriedly went to look after Li Zhen.

The eldest prince Sun Qiu glanced at Jia Cong, the spring-like smile on his face could no longer hold on, and said calmly: "What does Uncle Dang Kou mean by this?"

Jia Cong laughed, cupped his hands and said, "First Prince, I promise that this horse will never be frightened again. What do you think?"

Sun Qiu nodded and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good way to control horses. I have learned from it."

"Don't dare." Jia Congpi said with a smile.

As the eldest son of Li Meng, one of the three giants in the military and the right governor, Li Zhen had never suffered such a loss. He jumped onto another horse, took the spear, and rushed forward with his soldiers to challenge Jia Cong.

Just hearing a clicking sound, hundreds of soldiers under Jia Cong's command simultaneously took off the divine arm bows on their backs, stretched the strings, and waited. At this distance of more than ten steps, even if they wore two layers of heavy armor, they would be shot to the core.

"Brother Zhen, don't be impulsive." Qi Zheng, Zhao Guan, Xiong Lin and other people who had suffered losses from Jia Cong knew that he was evil-minded and ruthless, so they hurriedly pulled Li Zhen.

Just listen to Jia Cong say coldly: "If anyone dares to attack and kill the commander of the Jinyi Guards in the street, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" More than a hundred soldiers agreed in a loud voice, and murderous intent suddenly surged.

Li Zhen also fought at the border in his early years. He could see at a glance that these soldiers were arrogant and powerful generals who would kill without blinking an eye. How could they dare to show off their strength and die in vain? Because he sneered and said: "Jia Cong, we will see you later."

Jia Cong said: "Who are you? I will ask you to come and talk to me from now on. You are a bitch who doesn't know the etiquette of honor and inferiority. As long as you have an aunt to teach you, you won't be so embarrassed."

"You!" Li Zhen was so angry that blood filled his eyes, but he was speechless. Although he was the current guerrilla general of the Beijing camp, he did not have a title. His status was far different from that of Jia Cong, so he had no confidence to scold him.

"Uncle Dang Kou, it's enough to say this, for Marquis Guanyang's sake." Sun Qiu frowned.

Jia Cong waved his hand, indicating that Jia Mu and his party should go first, while he stayed behind.
