The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Jia Lian pointed at the two people beside her: "Xichun, Xiuyan, you two help me feed her a cup, and my brother will save you from punishment later!"

Unexpectedly, Xichun and Xiuyan both shook their heads, "You can't be fooled!"

Xichun said: "Sister Lin, you have always been kind to me, my sister toasts you!"

Daiyu glared at Jia Lian and had no choice but to accept, "Good sister, let's talk about it later."

Xichun stuck out her tongue playfully. Seeing that Daiyu had finished drinking, Jia Lian asked Baozhu to give him a cup of glutinous syrup. "Just take a break."

Then, he poured another cup for Baochai. Baochai sat upright, "Why did you punish me?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Sister Xue, since you are here with your brother, just do your best and don't care about what's on the side. No matter what the outside world is noisy, keep your heart."

Baochai blushed when he heard something in the words, "Brother said yes."

Qianqian drank it. Then came to Tanchun. Tanchun drank a cup first, "It was my sister who provoked it. I punished myself for a cup.

Jia Lian poured another glass, "Third sister, if we didn't start a poetry club in our garden, it would be very deserted, but there is one thing, the collection I just mentioned, you need to start compiling it. As soon as one volume is finished, I will spare my face to ask the elder sister-in-law's father to write a preface for you, all of us serious poets are Fengyuan poets, which can be passed down to future generations."

Tan Chun's little face turned red, "Brother, is it really okay?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "As long as you drink this cup, my brother will do it for you no matter what."

So Tanchun did it neatly. "Brother, let's make a promise!"

"When did my brother lie to you?"

Jia Lian poured another cup for Yingchun, "Second sister, in theory we are close brothers and sisters, but you are weak and gentle, always taciturn, and your brother doesn't know what you want, so he may neglect you many times. You can be presumptuous, brother, there is a woman who dares to bully you."

Yingchun said a few words with tears in her eyes, "Brother!"

Jia Lian comforted: "Drink this cup and you'll be fine."

Yingchun covered her face and finished drinking, turned around and wiped her tears. Xiuyan looked at Jia Lian timidly at this moment: "Brother"

There is still hope in his eyes. He just listened to Jia Lian pouring wine for her, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuyan, you don't talk much like the second sister, but you actually have your own ideas and are smart, but you have always had a heart attack. I thought that I came from a small family and looked a little cautious and cautious. In fact, it is not necessary. We sisters are the most kind and pure, and the people who are like angels have no bad heart. You are here with your elder brother, your elder brother is the Duke of Chaorong, and you are a big family. Our garden doesn't have the old woman in Rongguo who likes to chew your tongue, so drink this cup with peace of mind, don't hide it and walk down the street. You have to think about how to move a few times.”

Xiuyan's face was shy when she heard it, and she whispered: "How can you say that?"

He also drank it obediently, and there was nothing left. Then, Jia Lian walked up to Li Wan, "Big sister-in-law!"

Li Wan's hands trembled, "Brother Lian"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Today, as a younger brother, I just want to talk about you. The reason why the old ladies and the ladies are so relieved to keep so many sisters in my yard is to point to you to teach the sisters to learn acupuncture and reason. .And to condone these girls' troubles, it's really not proper!"

He also learned Jia Zheng's tone with his hands behind his back. Li Wan laughed angrily and said, "It's still up to me, you all listen, whoever is the most unruly in this garden and says that I'm leading the charge, it's not because you spoil them, If you have a cold or a cold, you will ask the imperial doctor, I am afraid that the princess and the princesses are just like this."

Daiyu hurriedly stood up and stood among them, saying solemnly: "Sister-in-law, although I think what my brother said is quite right, I like the way my sister-in-law and my brother are arguing. Amitabha, he is always in charge of us, and also Someone should take care of him!"

Li Wan twisted Daiyu and said with a smile, "You are just as stubborn as your brother, the most disobedient."

Baochai stepped forward and pulled Daiyu, "Fu'er said just now that it's bad, not to mention the elder sister-in-law, even Sister Feng can't control my brother. I thought, the reason why my brother built this garden is just for this! "

Jia Lian listened, coughed hard, and said angrily: "Sister Xue, just think about this kind of truth, don't say it. The old lady is still annoyed that I kidnapped you and made her talk to no one in front of her. !"

Li Wan said with a smile: "The old lady is a lively lady, please invite her tomorrow."

Jia Lian said: "I am willing to ten thousand, but in the eyes of the old man, this is not Rongguo Mansion. But in my opinion, this is Rongguo Mansion."

Tan Chun showed a puzzled expression, "Brother, what do you mean?"

Daiyu's eyebrows were like a crescent moon, "The one on Rongning Street... Rongguo Mansion belongs to the old lady."

Baochai also smiled sweetly, "This is my brother's Rongguo Mansion."

Seeing that the girls were all quiet, Li Wan hurriedly said, "There is only one Rongguo mansion here and there. Where is your brother Rongguo Gong, where is the Rongguo mansion. You can't see the emperor's royal pen inscription on both sides. In my opinion, your brother is just lazy, and no one cares about it."

Jia Lian also went on to say: "It's too far away, as long as the sisters are happy!"

At this moment, the girls let go, laughing and playing with each other. Jia Lian sat and watched. At this time, Xiangling led a few girls up and said with a smile: "Second Master, the girls all respect you. Wine, we dare not compare, but I also want to say, Second Master, drink this glass now!"

So Man'er Heng'er and Baozhu Ruizhu waited all around Jia Lian, and only told him to finish drinking before giving up. Jia Lian drank a dozen or so cups in one go, and then stopped, "You girls, be careful, wait a second. Lord, I have taken your faults, and I will punish you right away! You can't do anything wrong!"

Keqing and Miaoyu accompanied him, "While they are happy today, let them be arrogant for a while. I won't dare to do it tomorrow."

Jia Lian couldn't help his younger sisters, so he could only laugh in a low voice: "Ke'er, Miao'er, rub your waist for my husband. I don't know what happened recently, but my back always hurts very much in the middle of the night."

"Pooh!"

Both of them blushed, but at the same time they reached out and twisted Jia Lian's waist. "Second Master, does it still hurt?"

Jia Lian had no choice but to grit his teeth and said with a smile, "It's much better than before."

Chapter [*] Are you trying to rebel? Jia Lianzi is in the garden chanting poems and writing poems with his sisters, drinking and joking. The Rong Mansion has already started to demolish the courtyard in the east, and the private lanes of Rong Ning and Rong Ning Mansion have been built to build the Grand View Building. Jia The government is impatient with vulgar affairs, and Jia Lian has no shadow, and only Jia Rong is left to take the lead, arrange the husband, decide the materials, and make all the changes after reporting to Jia Zheng's approval before assigning them. Ground. Even Jia Yun and Jia Qiang have arranged deacons, but they are all right. On this day, Jia Rong came to Fengyi Garden and waited for a long time in Rongyang Hall before she got a happy Jia Lian. Jia Lian Impatiently said: "Brother Rong, you are not demolishing the house to build a building, come to me to do this"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Uncle, today is my mother's birthday. Please invite my uncle to the house for a drink."

Jia Lian frowned and said, "I've never heard of the eldest sister-in-law's birth in June! Brother Rong, say it as soon as possible, how dare you be sloppy in front of me!"

He patted the armrest of the chair heavily. Jia Rong hurriedly stepped forward and knelt at Jia Lian's feet, "Uncle, nephew doesn't dare to deceive, it's really someone who explained that, they must invite you home."

Jia Lian frowned and asked, "Who told me if it was my uncle?"

Jia Rong took two steps on her knees. Seeing that there was no one left or right, she whispered, "Uncle Niu asked Wei Ruolan to pass on the message in private."

Jia Lian immediately asked, "It's really Uncle Niu"

Niu Jizong, this old man, although his luck is not very good, he still has vision. Only this time, he has made these mysterious things again. I don't know what to do. Jia Lian is very satisfied with his current life. People are restrained and at ease. If they go, there is no doubt that the old man will have some trouble. Still not going! But I am worried about missing something. You must know that no matter how well-informed you are, sometimes you will not be able to catch up with a good mind.” Where did Uncle Niu say?"

Jia Rong whispered, "It's right at the Duke's Mansion."

Jia Lian pondered for a while, "Go!"

Let's see what he said. So the two uncles and nephews rode back to the Ning Mansion. But they went out from the back door of the Ning Mansion in a regular blue-mantle carriage. The back door of the Guogong's mansion entered. There were already servants waiting in the aisle. When they saw Jia Lian and Jia Rong, they went straight in. This is a pavilion in the heart of the lake in the garden, with water on all sides and rippling rays of light. The servants smiled and said, "Your uncle is too careful."

It's a pity that those little servants didn't speak. After passing the trestle bridge to the pavilion, Niu Jizong's eldest son, Niu Tiansu, greeted him, cupped his hands and smiled: "Master Jia"

Jia Lian hurriedly said humbly, "Brother Shi, you call me that, and you want me to go!"

That Niu Tiansu laughed, "Xian is just waiting for your uncle and nephew! Let's go!"

Jia Lian smiled and asked, "What kind of people did Uncle Shi invite today?"

"Brother, you will know soon. Tiansu took Jia Lian to the second floor, bowed and said, "Father, Master Jia and General Jia have already arrived."

"Complete discount!"

Niu Jizong laughed heartily and pushed open the door. "Brother Lian, come here!"

He pulled Jia Lian in and closed the door tightly. Jia Lian just stood firm, looked inside, and immediately turned around and went back. "Uncle Niu Shi, what are you doing?"

It's not... Look at these people in the house: in addition to the three of them, there are Lifu first-class Bo Liufang, Qi's third-grade Weizhen general Chen Ruiwen, Zhifu's third-grade Weiyuan general Ma Shang, and Qi's first-class son Hou Xiaokang. Shi Guangzhu, who built the mansion. He was famous in those days, but now the famous Hachiko has arrived neatly. The middle four are still armed with heavy soldiers from Gyeonggi and even the imperial city. If a little bit of news leaks out, the emperor is not suspicious enough, but Niu Jizong He slapped Jia Lian's shoulder with a slap, "Looking at how cowardly you are, I will tell you where the courage of Tiewangshan has gone, although your title is the highest here, but we are all your uncles, and even more so, Brother Rong. Uncle of my son!"

Jia Lian decided not to care about him, and turned his head to bow to the others: "My nephew has seen all the uncles!"

Liu Fang stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "Brother Lian, don't be too polite."

Jia Lian sighed: "Uncle Liu Shi, Uncle Niu's move is too unexpected. Those of us, in this situation, shouldn't have met. People who stay at home are thinking about it."

Liu Fang smiled and said, "Brother Niu is not to blame for this, it was originally my suggestion to invite everyone to discuss it."

Jia Lian wondered: "Uncle Liu Shi, it's not that my nephew is lying, we haven't arrived yet."

It's not like that... At the end, Liu Fang will let everyone take their seats again. Jia Lian is young, but the most prestigious title, he should have taken the first place. Liu Fang sighed: "As Brother Lian said, the situation has not yet reached that stage. It's just that we should have the worst plan."

Jia Lian was startled and looked at the others. Talking about this kind of thing, Jia Lian's first reaction was distrust. Not to mention these people who were doing it, no one was looking around to see if there was anyone on the road... Someone found Jia Lian Lian regretted that he was too curious. He knew that he should have invited these people to come. Therefore, he secretly made up his mind and only listened to it. He only listened to Niu Jizong: "The emperor retreated since he came back from the siege. My job is to appoint Brother Liu. I have no complaints, after all, it is my fault. It's just the emperor's recent actions that make me a little uneasy."

Hou Xiaolian also said: "The emperor constantly dispatched troops and horses from the frontier army to enrich the Beijing camp. He also transferred the honorable generals in the Beijing camp, as well as the commanders who were related, and even thousands of households, to other places one after another, and most of them were in idle positions."

Chen Ruiwen said with a smile: "My brother-in-law, who used to be a good commander in the Shenwu Army, was transferred to the Beicheng Army and Horse Division with an imperial decree yesterday. The boy is still there: I want me to find a way to transfer him back!"

Ma Shang echoed: "The lawsuit in Lin'an Bo's mansion still hit me, and now I have taken two thousand taels to my place. I'm at a loss!"

Only Shi Guangzhu did not speak. He was in filial piety, and he did not hold an official position. He was also invited this time because he was also within the Hachiko. The Jingying is in complete control, which is also what it should be. The Emperor Taishang foresaw it, and Jia Lian also thought about it. Can Niu Jizong and Liu Fang not think of it? No. They just don't want to lose power. , he would also like to be light without officials! But these few can't do it. If there is no official position and real power, they will really be in decline. For example, this uncle Niu Shi, who originally thought he was simple and honest like an old farmer, originally had actual military power in Gyeonggi. It's all in his hands. Of course, during the siege, it shows that there is moisture. Another new recruit, Jiedu, also seems to have a strong sense of crisis. Jia Lian really wants to say to them, "Uncles, what do you think? rebel?"

The fifty-fifth chapter only the emperor's order is to say that the emperor gradually dispelled the power of the nobles and nobles in the army, but to the disintegration of the entire power class of nobles. After the fort, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty basically became rice bugs that consumed the country's wealth, and could not be of any use to the court. The ultimate purpose of the emperor is this. Until the group of founding nobles who hold great power will naturally wither and decline, and someone can be promoted. Criticizing new dignitaries and repeating in this way can ensure the eternal power of the emperor. Later generations criticized Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, two rogues and poor emperors as emperors, and slaughtered the brothers and subordinates who fought with him in the past. That is because they all I didn't sit in that seat. The emperor is a lonely man. Those brothers all hold great power, and the power is hereditary. After a few decades, a class will be formed and a monopoly will be achieved. The reason why Niu Jizong was able to control before, even if it is Nominally, it was because all the troops of the previous imperial court were in the hands of Xungui or Xungui's relatives. Therefore, at that time, even the emperor had to be careful not to offend Xungui too much. In the West, even in the Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was very common, because this was the nobility. Thanks to the Huang Chao Uprising that destroyed everything, and the secession and wars that lasted for more than a hundred years, in the Song Dynasty, the real nobility, five surnames and seven Wang The halo has faded and he has become a commoner. After talking so much, he is actually saying a truth. In less than 100 years, a new aristocratic class has already formed, and they have held power, especially military power. The last siege In the incident, although the emperor's plan was broken, but with the help of Jia Lian, he finally turned the tide: there is a great opportunity to clear this cancer. If Jia Lian is the emperor, he will do the same. Niu Jizong and Liu Fang were among them, and they had to wave the flag for the class. I understand it, but Jia Lian was not optimistic about them. Because they had no way to resist the emperor's conspiracy. Most of them, including those in the Among the people sitting, they are no better than Jia Rong or the dead Jia Zhen. As Jia She once said, people like us don't need to study hard and practice hard, and when the time comes, they will naturally have officials. Therefore, , The honor and honor of the four kings and eight princes is a typical generation that is not as good as a generation. Except for Jia Lian. After thinking about this, Jia Lian no longer expects them to talk about anything. He smiled and said to Niu Jizong: "Uncle Shi, It's hard for everyone to gather here with you, but you're good. If you don't have good food and wine, and you don't have a beautiful woman to accompany you, let us just stare at us and drink cold water. This is not like the hospitality of the Zhenguo Gongfu. The way!"

When Niu Jizong heard the words, he laughed and scolded: "I know you young people, you only have such a little hobby, do you want me to go to Yangzhou to buy them for you?"

"That's a good feeling!"

Jia Lian immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Rong, let's not disturb your uncles' discussions, let's go to Brother Tiansu for a drink!"

Niu Jizong and Liu Fang glanced at each other. If Jia Lian left, what else would he discuss regardless of his age. He was a bit taller than the two old men. Besides, he was smart, and he has grown from two years old in just a few years. When General Mingwei was promoted to the real master, they had been fighting for half their lives, and it was only like this. This is the gap. Niu Jizong was not happy when he said: "Have you heard what your uncles said just now?"

Jia Lian nodded, "I heard Uncle Chen's brother-in-law only knows how to drink and gamble, but he doesn't know anything about martial arts and battle formations. He should have been cleared out of the Beijing camp, and Lin'anbo's relatives are rogues. Is this kind of person? Shouldn't it be cleaned up?"

Niu Jizong pointed at him and said to Liu Fang, "How about I say that this kid still has a long-term view?"

Liu Fang stroked his beard, "It's much better than that kid from my family."

Jia Lian just pretended he didn't hear it and greeted Jia Rong, "Let's go, let's see what secrets are in Uncle Niu Shi's mansion. Is it the same as the rumors outside, gold and silver are like mountains, there are groups of beauties, and cunning children can't tell male and female."

Before he finished speaking, Niu Jizong stood up abruptly and scolded, "You little bastard! I thought I was like your Uncle Chen."

"Oh"

Jia Lian stretched his voice and looked at Chen Ruiwen curiously. "Uncle Chen, I heard that there is a famous Qiguan in Shenjing now."

Chen Ruiwen didn't even change his color, but nodded with a smile: "This official Qi serves in front of King Zhongshun, and occasionally goes to King Beijing. It's really wonderful to be the same as Xiao Shi, and she looks better than Chaoxia."

Jia Lian only felt a cool breeze blowing, "Forget it, I'd better not ask about Uncle Chen's elegance!"

Chen Ruiwen didn't think about it, but said: "Right now, the atmosphere is strong, and I don't care about your uncle Niu's sanctimonious appearance now. In fact, he was also suave back then, tsk tsk!"

"Chen Ruiwen!"

Niu Jizong has the momentum to run wild, "If you talk about it again, I will cut my robe and cut my righteousness with you!"

Chen Ruiwen bowed his hands slightly, as an apology, and said to Jia Lian: "It's your family, your younger brother who was born with jade, is friendly to Qiguan, and there are many friends who are friends, and they are inseparable. And your nephew. Brother Rong"

Jia Lian really felt ashamed at this moment, stepped forward and kicked Jia Rong, "Shameful thing!"

Chen Ruiwen said with a smile: "My nephew, this old man doesn't like to hear this!"

"All right!"

Liu Fang quickly stopped, "Let's discuss business affairs!"

"Yep!"
