The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Mingchun Iron Net Mountain"

Shui Rong interrupted him and said: "There is no need to talk about this matter. The key is not me, but whether you have found someone. Do you want to be a mantis or a oriole?"

On the other side, it is not so gentle and elegant. King Zhongshun Gaozhu is in the hall, and there are people sitting in the chair. They are all wearing civilian clothes, and they can't tell the difference between officials and titles. It's New Year's Eve"

"All right!"

King Zhongshun is troubled. Ever since Jia Lian made a big kill, his money bag has become increasingly empty. If it weren't for the money in Jinling, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to support it. , even the Jia family hated him. If the emperor was still protecting the kid, he should have gone to search the house for a crime. He said slowly: "I'm afraid that the money will be short of you. Prepare it early in the morning, look. The way you fell into the eyes of money!"

King Zhongshun smiled, but the others didn't dare to laugh. Only King Zhongshun asked, "The money will not be short, and what the widow asks, can you do it?"

The man immediately patted his chest: "Don't worry, lord, everyone in the final commander's battalion can die for the lord!"

"Be careful!"

Someone next to him warned: "It is for the emperor!"

The man laughed and stopped talking. King Zhongshun looked at the few people next to him again. "I am willing to serve the dog and horse!"

"What the lord wants to do at the end of the day without saying a word!"

"Just like them!"

Only then did King Zhongshun nodded, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you succeed in one fell swoop, your wealth will be limitless!"

It's just that the person next to him still has some doubts, "My lord, please forgive your subordinates for being so talkative. You are so sure that there will be people in Tiewangshan next year. If there is a slight deviation, it will be us!"

King Zhongshun laughed: "I don't know about the other side, only this matter can be confirmed!"

Some of the people below are doubtful, some are contemplative, and more do not think at all, and they think for nothing.

Chapter [-] Who should I trust? Today, when Sister Feng came to the garden, she first found Jia Lian, hugged him intimately and smiled, "Second Master, I have something to tell you."

Jia Lian grabbed her hand, "I won't come for a few days, let me see if I have lost weight"

Sister Feng spat: "It's not right, let the girls see a joke."

The two rested in the octagonal pavilion in front. Sister Feng said: "The old aunt Jingxu from Shuiyuean came to me and asked me to do something. I didn't want to, and I pushed it again and again, but I thought about it. She is also an old acquaintance of our family, I am afraid she will lose face and hinder our family. I only tell her that I can't do anything, and we have to nod our second master to do this. "

Jia Lian frowned, "The old lady, relying on her relationship with us, doesn't know how many unconscionable things she has done in private. I haven't looked for her yet, and she dares to come over by herself"

Seeing that his face remained unchanged, Sister Feng smiled and said, "I said the same thing, in the future, I won't let her come to our house."

Jia Lian said: "Forget it, I don't worry about that. She coaxed the old lady and the wife to be happy, and she deserves credit for not bothering me."

Sister Feng leaned on Jia Lian's body, the faint fragrance made him almost unable to control it. "Feng'er, why don't we go back to Qifeng Hall to be quiet and no one will disturb you."

"Pooh!"

Sister Feng's beautiful eyes were affectionate, "What are you thinking about, the sisters-in-law and sisters here have leaked, and even they are too embarrassed to stay here."

Jia Lian put her arms around her, and Sister Feng said briefly, "The old lady said"

This is the story of the rich man's daughter Zhang Jinge and the son who was the guard of Chang'an who were beaten by the mandarin duck, Jia Yan, the uncle of the Jingzhao Mansion. What letter?"

Sister Feng sat up straight, her face full of displeasure, "Second Master, if you don't believe me, if I had done it two years earlier, maybe I would have done it. Now, you have repeatedly warned me that my ears are getting calluses, where is it? If you dare to make up your own mind if you can give me a word, the sister-in-law said, as long as I can withdraw from my relatives, I would rather give it three thousand taels."

When Sister Feng saw Jia Lian still looking at her and smiling, she blushed, "I'm not... the three thousand taels of jealousy. It's not that our family doesn't have it. Just forget it, you can tell me, I have other things to do!"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "I saw that the guard was just angry for a while, and said a few words without thinking. The root is: the Zhang family wants to curry favor with the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture. How can I make them wishful? Parents who want to get married will get married, and if they want to regret their marriage, they will regret it. They asked their daughters and sons if they met them, they are all infatuated with righteousness. If I broke this stick, wouldn’t it hurt heaven and reason?”

Sister Feng said: "Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents. Before there are many bridal chambers, you don't know how beautiful or ugly they are. Where there is love and righteousness, I don't believe in the retribution of the sinister!"

Jia Lian patted her face lightly, "People, be in awe!"

Sister Feng grabbed his hand, "Okay, second master, I'll be in awe of you now, give me an idea, I'll get back to that old lady, and save her from wandering around in front of me."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Tomorrow, I will visit Lord Yin, let him take care of his brother-in-law, and don't make trouble outside!"

Sister Feng snorted and said, "Second Master, you are doing the opposite. Will the Zhang family be angry?"

Jia Lian said: "Then I can't control it. The Zhang family and the guard family have a marriage contract first, which is reasonable and reasonable, and no one can pick the wrong one."

Sister Feng held back her smile, "Then I'll be quiet and let him run away."

Jia Lian wanted to warn again, and Sister Feng said, "I know what the second master is going to say. Don't worry, the second master, I won't take her money. If I want it, the second master will give it to me, right?"

Jia Lian joked: "My silver is not yours"

Sister Feng only asked Man'er and Qingwen to follow her, and smiled again: "Let Ping'er and Su'er rest for two days, someone in the province will remember!"

After saying that, Tingting left. Jia Lian looked at them, Ping'er and Su'er blushed, and they were even teased by Xiangling. Because of this, Jia Lianxian was very bored, and he went to Jingzhao the next day. The government office, a small complaint. When Jia Lian came out, he could hear Jia Yan's screams. Amitabha! Then, Jia Lian went to the guard house again. It was only when he came to know that the guard was transferred to Yongxing at the end of the year. , will take office after the new year. Jia Lian is only half the age of the guard, but he reprimanded him, and he didn't dare to say a word. The guard was arrogant, and he prepared wine and food. After three cups and five cups, the When the garrison is intoxicated, he is full of nonsense, deducting pay and money at the peak, collaborating and squeezing out his colleagues, and even disobeying the law, making soldiers like family members, and even using rogues on the street to fill the gap when teaching drills. Jia Lian knows that there are many abuses in the Beijing camp. But it is not in the right place, and it is just listening. But then... the guard took Jia Lian's hand and whispered: "Master Hou, I will tell you a secret at the end, there are several camps stationed outside the city. Jun, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know about it."

Jia Lian was terrified. He pretended to laugh and said, "Jia guard, you are drunk. Whoever dares to mobilize the army thinks his head is too heavy, don't you?"

The guard said: "Master Hou, they are all dispatched by the Ministry of War."

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, "This is it!"

But that... the guard smiled and said, "Master Hou, they can hide from others, but they can't hide from me. The last generals are specialized in the Qing army. On the surface, there are only a few old and weak there, but in fact, they come and go, and they go back and forth. , A month ago, there were only dozens or hundreds of people in a battalion, and now it has reached three or four hundred. This is not normal."

Jia Lian frowned, just as he was about to ask what this abnormality meant, Jia Guard lay on the table and couldn't wake up no matter what! They were all foxes! So Jia Lian hurried back with a lot of thought, and hurriedly let people go. Undercover investigation, that Jia guarding is telling the truth. After two days, there is news that those battalions are the shelters for sick and weak skirmishers from the Fanshangjing camp from various places. Jia Shoubei said that the number of people inside is increasing every day. A total of four or five, 45 battalions, nearly [-] people. Such an obvious loophole, why no one pays attention to Jia Lian himself, Jia Lian can't understand, then Jia Shoubei talked nonsense after drinking, and made it clear that he would not admit that he said it himself. The question now is, who should Jia Lian find to change the story, and who should Jia Lian believe is hesitating and anxious, when Jia Shou reported Said, a person came to ask the question and indicated that he wanted to see Lord Hou. Jia Lian curiously asked someone to take him into the front hall. : "My nephew, why don't you know me?"

Chapter [-] You and I are both in the chess game, Jia Lian walked over quickly, looked at him, and laughed: "Uncle Niu Shi, are you running away from home, or are you sneaking outside and being driven out by Aunt Niu?"

After speaking, he hurriedly took him to the front room and closed the door, and no one was allowed to approach. After taking a seat, Niu Jizong smiled and said: "You kid, this place is in a good location, I was fine just now, quietly went around your garden and looked back and forth. At first glance, tsk tsk, the defense is really tight."

When Jia Lian heard this, his face turned ugly, "I said Uncle Niu Shi, you dressed up like this and asked me to come here, wouldn't you just tell me about it?"

Niu Jizong stared at him, "It's rude. The first time I came to you, I didn't even make a cup of tea"

Jia Lian poured a cup of cold tea from the table, "Do you want love!"

Niu Jizong didn't dislike it either, he took it in one breath and drank it, "I heard that Jia Houye is lecherous by nature, surrounded by beautiful girls and concubines all day, why haven't I seen any of them?"

Jia Lian suddenly became furious and pulled his hand, "Go, go, if you are slow, be careful I turn your face!"

"Ha ha!"

Niu Jizong said with a smile: "I know, they are all raised in the garden, so that no one will look at them! What a stingy!"

Jia Lian immediately rolled up his sleeves, "If you don't leave, I'll do it!"

That Niu Jizong knocked on the cup: "One more cup, I just walked in a hurry and my mouth is dry."

Jia Lian looked at him suspiciously, and filled him with a teapot, "I said, Uncle Niu Shi, what happened?"

It's really unusual for Niu Jizong to dress up like this, and to find it here. Niu Jizong drank tea again, and asked playfully, "Did you find someone to check a few military camps outside the city?"

Jia Lian flashed his vigilance for a while and smiled: "Uncle Niu Shi, what did you say I went to investigate what the military camp was doing, you were really joking."

Niu Jizong took the teacup and said: "You can't hide it from me, I've been staring at it, except you, there are four people who have checked it out, one of them came back without success, needless to say two, and one, you guessed it Who"

Jia Lian smiled calmly and said: "Uncle Shi, how do I know that it is the end of the year, and Honglu Temple has to prepare for the grand meeting, so I have time to take care of these little things."

Niu Jizong sneered: "You're still here: I pretended in front of me that if I hadn't been staring at you for a long time, I wouldn't know that you actually created a force by yourself, and you're not afraid of raiding your home."

Jia Lian's heart turned violent, but he still said with a smile: "Uncle Niu Shi, why am I getting more and more confused by what you said?"

Niu Jizong pointed at him twice, "Forget it, I don't care about you, it's not like your family is like this in Shenjing. No wonder!"

He knocked on the table again, "Why don't you have some food?"

Jia Lian looked at him with disgust, "Why, did you really get kicked out or was the emperor ransacked your house?"

"Hey!"

Niu Jizong laughed and scolded: "I'm here to save your life. Hurry up, good wine and good meat are waiting for you!"

Jia Lian gave him a stern look, but decided to believe him once, and instructed outside, "Take ten pounds of spirits, cut twenty pounds of beef! One plate of peanuts, three kinds of side dishes!"

Niu Jizong said with a smile: "That's right, only three small dishes are too few, at least twenty large dishes are good!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Uncle Shi is wrong. It's only wine, and the side dishes and peanuts are prepared for me."

Niu Jizong stroked his beard, "Brother Lian, tell me the truth, what?"

Jia Lian looked at him deeply, "Will you tell me?"

Niu Jizong said: "It depends on what you tell me"

After a long time, Jia Lian sighed: "It depends on whether you are trustworthy or not."

"Go!"

Niu Jizong nodded and said, "The situation is so complicated right now that I can't understand it. Everyone knows that there will be trouble, but who will make trouble, Brother Lian, is it the same for you?"

Jia Lian said carefully: "Uncle Niu Shi, I thought you would teach me."

Niu Jizong sat on the chair, "These days, my heart is not very stable, even your kid knows that something is wrong, how can you ignore it?"

Jia Lian's face darkened, "Uncle Shi, am I really that bad?"

Niu Jizong glanced at him, "Don't worry, you finally know how to keep a low profile, according to my estimation, since you made a big splash in the court, whether there is evidence or not, you have already missed you. idiot, right?"

Jia Lian just sighed: "If not, how can you protect yourself?"

Niu Jizong nodded and smiled: "This is the attitude of the conversation. But don't worry, no one will do anything to you before you go to Iron Net Mountain."

Jia Lian frowned and asked, "Uncle Shi's meaning, after the iron net mountain passes, someone will deal with me."

Niu Jizong said angrily: "If you can live without lack of arms and legs until then, who will care about the details of you?"

"All right!"

Jia Lian said: "Uncle Niu Shi, since you already know that there is a problem here, why are you not in harmony: report to the emperor"

Niu Jizong spread his hands, "It's the same sentence, you can't tell who wants to make trouble, can't you?"

Jia Lian said: "Is this not obvious?"

Niu Jizong asked: "The two sides clearly know that the other side is playing tricks, why don't you report and expose the people who have a tacit understanding. You add 100 people today and 100, and I will add [-] people and [-] tomorrow."

"Maybe, they are all gentlemen."

Jia Lian sighed. Niu Jizong sneered, "It's really like the Jinyi Army is eating dry rice, the water is deep here!"

Jia Lian only felt the cool breeze blowing on the back of his spine. At this time, the servant outside had already brought the wine and meat, and a table could not be put down. So Jia Lian carried a plate of peanuts by himself, sat on the couch, watching Niu Jizong is like a ghost reincarnated from starvation, eating Haisai. Jia Lian couldn't help but persuade: "You old man slow down, if you choke to death, I have to roll up two rolls of you and throw you at the mass grave outside the city at night. "

Niu Jizong scolded: "When Lao Tzu finishes eating, I will settle the account for you."

When Jia Lian was eating, he felt more and more uncomfortable. He thought that he did a perfect job, but his every move was in the eyes of others. He needed to calm down and think about countermeasures. Niu Jizong ate about two catties of wine and half of meat. , then stopped, "It's a pity that the meat is overcooked, it would be better if it were more tender."
