Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

As soon as Jia Cong returned home, he heard that Liu Xianglian and his wife You Sanjie came to visit.

Jia Lian, Baoyu, Xue Pan and others are accompanying her in the main hall. As for Third Sister You, Youshi, Feng Jieer, Chu Chan and others are waiting in the inner hall to receive her.

"Brother Xianglian, long time no see!" Jia Cong came in with a smile and cupped his hands.

Everyone stood up to greet him.

"I would like to pay my respects to the Third Master and thank him for saving my life!" Liu Xianglian prostrated, her voice choked.

No one knew what it meant, only Jia Cong knew it.

"Brother Xianglian, what do you mean? Please get up quickly and sit down." Jia Cong helped him up.

Everyone sat down again and saw Liu Xianglian looking grateful, ashamed and regretful. They all knew that there must be something inside. Only Jia Lian knew about it, but he couldn't bring it up.

Jia Cong smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, then changed the subject and said, "The day before yesterday, I heard that Brother Xianglian repelled the bandits on Ping'an Prefecture Road and saved Brother Xue and his party. I haven't thanked him yet."

Xue Pan also thanked him repeatedly.

Liu Xianglian hurriedly said humbly: "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. And since Brother Xue and I are friends, how can we just sit back and watch?"

Xue Pan smiled and said: "Brother Cong is fine now. I have already chosen and compromised your mansion, and I will wait for your wedding wine someday."

Liu Xianglian cupped her hands and said, "I'm just here to invite you all to come down to my humble residence for a glass of wine on the fifth day of next month."

Everyone agreed.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I'm going to bother you about Brother Xianglian's wedding wine, but we can't skip the wine today. Let's have a few cups together later."

"I feel ashamed to accept it." Liu Xianglian said.

Everyone laughed and said yes.

"If you have anything to say, we can discuss it later at the wine table. I have something to ask Xianglian about. You guys sit down first." Jia Cong said nothing and took Liu Xianglian into the study.

"I will never be able to repay Third Master's life-saving grace with death." Liu Xianglian cried and bowed again.

Jia Cong hurriedly helped him up and said, "Brother Xianglian, you are also a cheerful person. Why do you do this for such a trivial matter?"

"It's a trivial matter to the third master, but it's a big deal to Xianglian. If the third master hadn't helped, Xianglian would have regretted it."

Liu Xianglian's heart was agitated and she took out a piece of paper from her arms. It was the chrysanthemum poem written by Jia Cong that day.

"Brother Xue gave me this poem that day, saying that it was a gift from the third master, but I still don't know its meaning.

Later, I listened to the slander and was deceived by lard, so I went to find my mother-in-law to cancel the wedding ceremony. The third sister was so angry that she couldn't bear the shame, so she drew her sword and killed herself.

At that time, the younger brother was frightened and regretful. He knew that he had wrongly accused a good person, but he could not stop him. He knew that the sword inherited from his family was extremely sharp, and the third sister would definitely die, but he did not expect that there was no danger, but only a broken skin.

Later, when I thought about it, I realized that it was the third master who helped me secretly, saved me from a big mistake, and taught me how to be inexplicable. "

After Liu Xianglian choked with sobs, she took out the sword from her waist and presented it.

Jia Cong took it and tried it with his fingers. Sure enough, the sharp edges of the two swords had been worn away. He smiled and said, "Although I have good intentions, I have damaged my brother's family heirloom. I feel ashamed."

Liu Xianglian said hurriedly: "The third master said this, I feel ashamed. How can a mere dead thing be compared with a living person?"
If it weren't for Third Master, I would have made a big mistake! Even if my ancestors have spirits in heaven, they will never spare me. "

Jia Cong smiled and nodded. When he heard about Liu Xianglian that day, he expected that such a disaster would happen.

Therefore, he secretly sent Niao Su to sneak into Sister You's room at night, charmed her with smoke, and used a whetstone to grind off the edge of the sword. Unknown to God or ghost, Sister You was not aware, and she actually used the sword to kill herself.

"Brother Xianglian, I know there are some bad things going on in Dongfu, but you have been walking around in the world for a long time, so you should know that people can't help themselves in the world. Even a heroic man like you can't help himself, let alone a weak woman?

Looking at it from the perspective of Cong, the You sisters are not bad in nature and have long been repentant. As the saying goes, no one is a saint, so who can have no faults?

Knowing that the third sister's son has a strong temper, he couldn't bear the fate of his beauty, so he rescued her secretly. I thought it would be a happy event if I could make things happen for you two. If not, I could save a life. "

Jia Cong still sympathizes with the You sisters in his heart. Faced with Jia Zhen, a domineering president, a veteran of flowers, a young girl who is ignorant of the world and dependent on others, how can she not make mistakes?
As the saying goes, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, you will still be a good comrade if you change it. It's just that the world is too harsh on women. Occasionally, if you make a wrong step, you will be doomed. Jia Cong still has some compassion for these beauties in the original work.

"What the third master said is absolutely true. It's a pity that I have always been conceited and outstanding, and my mind is above the world. If I don't live up to my expectations, I am just a stupid person with blind eyes. I almost lost the life of a good man, and even harmed a strong and virtuous wife." Liu Xianglian. sighed.

Jia Cong nodded. Sanjie You had cleared her name by committing suicide. He also admired her a little. There was great terror between life and death. How many people in ancient history books were there who dared to die to express their will?

Because he said: "So this poem of mine is not for you, but for your wife. I would rather die with the fragrance on the branches than blow it down in the north wind. Is this appropriate?"

"Third Master is a great talent. Once this poem came out, Third Sister is no longer afraid of gossip. Thank you Third Master for your kindness." Liu Xianglian choked with sobs.

Now that Jia Rong's case has been revealed, people in Kyoto know that he molested his aunt, so how can the second and third sisters have the face to see others? But with Jia Cong's poem, the reputation of third sister You has been absolutely preserved, and even more so. It has the name of chastity and fierceness.

This is the power of literature.

"What are you thanking for? Third sister is my elder sister-in-law's sister, and she is also my sister-in-law. Why are you thanking her?
From now on, you will be my brother-in-law, and we are all part of the same family. From now on, the titles will be changed. You are not allowed to be called Third Master, just Brother Cong. "Jia Cong laughed.

"Brother Cong." Liu Xianglian said gratefully.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention this matter. I have another question to ask."

"Brother Cong, it's okay to say it."

"I heard that Brother Liu loves to travel around the world and meet many strange people in the wilderness." Jia Cong said.

Liu Xianglian said: "My little brother has been wandering around for many years, but he does know some men in the world. Brother Cong means..."

Jia Cong didn't hide anything, and said: "Brother Xianglian should know that my life after this disaster is really dangerous."

Liu Xianglian nodded.

"As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger. You can't bully me if you are honest. Now that I'm in this situation, I don't know when another disaster will strike. Then won't I be at the mercy of others again?"

"Brother Cong, just tell me, I entrust you with my life, but if you have a destiny, I will go through fire and water without hesitation." Liu Xianglian said in a deep voice.

Jia Cong said: "Thank you, Brother Xianglian. I think about the things given by the court and taking them back as soon as they are told. After all, it is not as convenient as my own things."

Please ask Brother Xianglian to help me build a group of people in the arena. I will inquire about information and do some secret things on weekdays.

To the outside world, I will call you in the name of your brother. Just tell me how much money you want. "

Liu Xianglian said without even thinking: "This is not difficult, just follow your orders." He also wanted to do something in his career, and being able to rely on Jia Cong was naturally a shortcut.

Jia Cong said: "For the outside world, I will give you the title of Jinyi Guard Qianhu. As a cover, even if you are discovered, nothing can be done to you.

In the future, when the time is ripe and the team is stable, whether you want to lead troops and fight, whether you want to be an official and do business, whether you want to be free and happy, it's all up to you, how about it? "

Liu Xianglian was very smart and said: "I understand a little bit what Brother Cong means. Do you want me to create a secret agent that will parasitize among the Jinyi Guards?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "That's exactly what I mean. Based on your reputation, brother, you may not be able to recruit many people. Most of the people in the world admire the official status. They want to have a good background, honor their ancestors, and as the saying goes, they can acquire literary and martial arts. This is the reason for selling it to the emperor's family.

Isn't Jinyiwei an excellent path? If you use this status to recruit people, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people?
As for your brands of Duiqianhu, Baihu, and Trial Baihu, I will give you as much as you want. As long as you have the ability, the more the merrier. "

Liu Xianglian muttered: "But most people in the world of Jiang Hu Cao Cao have wild tempers and may not obey discipline. And some people are capable, but they dare not compliment them on their conduct, for fear of causing trouble."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "How to select and lead troops is your business.

As for character, I don't care. I only follow one sentence: as long as it can be used for me, it is obedient and obedient. I don't pay attention to other details.

Moreover, their identities must be kept secret and no horizontal communication is allowed between them. If something goes wrong, I will not be implicated. "

Liu Xianglian cupped her hands and said, "I understand, little brother. Does this team have a name?"

"Hydra, from now on you will be the first thousand members of Hydra, codenamed Red Skull." Jia Cong has already thought about it.

Liu Xianglian bowed and said: "I obey, little brother." (End of this chapter)
