The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Yang Jihe was still walking forward. Jia Lian grabbed his sleeve and said displeasedly, "Mr. Yang, since you all told me that my Rongguo Mansion is on the edge, it's time for me to do my best as a landlord. , drink a glass of water and wine before leaving"

Fortunately, Yang Jihe is also a cheerful person. He didn't give Jia Lian a chance to turn his face. He readily agreed. Jia Lian had to endure it, led him into the Rong Mansion with a smile, and borrowed Jia Zheng's study Mengpo by the way. Zhai spoke. We sat down to greet the tea and finished serving tea. Jia Lian asked about his past situation again. Yang Jihe said: "At the moment, in the court, apart from you, the prince, there are officials who support the crown prince, as well as those who support the second prince. .Even Prince Anyi is very active."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I know all this."

If only these were the words, Yang Jihe nodded, "It goes without saying that the prince, the second prince's mother is Concubine Wu. Recently, Wu Tianyou's family welcomed the concubine to save her relatives, and she was so powerful that she was much more majestic than the empress in the family of the grandfather, the one outside Guangcheng... There are three or four li, the size, the pavilions, the pavilions, the mountains and rivers, and the most wonderful things.”

Jia Lian's response was indifferent, "His family's money is useless. Tomorrow, let the Ministry of Household urge the Wu family to owe money to the state treasury."

Yang Jihe said with a smile: "It's just a little troublesome. Concubine Wu's holy family is strong, so it won't work. What's more, I think that Concubine Wu wants to be the queen, and then it is logical to abolish the prince and make the second prince the prince."

Jia Lian nodded secretly, but the emperor didn't have so much time for her. "You can talk about it!"

Jia Lian remained calm. Yang Jihe was also observing Jia Lian, only to see Jia Lian smiling all the time, without the slightest bit of surprise, he decided to tell his true intentions. "Master Guo knows who persuaded the prince to close the door and beat the dog today. "

After closing the door and hitting the dog, Jia Lian suddenly changed his color, and he asked intently, "Mr. Yang knows?"

Yang Jihe unhurriedly took out the folding fan from his sleeve, opened it slowly, and there were only two words on the fan, "Confused"

Endure it! Jia Lian took a deep breath, cupped his hands and asked, "Mr. Yang please enlighten me!"

Yang Jihe pretended to fan a few times before leaning over and said softly: "It's a little eunuch in front of the prince. But this eunuch has something to do with Prince Anyi. Coincidentally, it happened to be known by the next."

Jia Lian sneered, "Prince Anyi is just the emperor's nephew, and Prince Zhongshun is in front of him!"

Yang Jihe shook his head, "Noye, Noye. Guo. Prince Anyi has no idea of ​​competing for the crown prince, at least not now. He just has a good relationship with Concubine Wu."

Jia Lian couldn't help but think about what it means to be so good that he wants to kill two birds with one stone. He continued, "The reason why I came to Rongning Street today is to see what will happen today."

Jia Lian stood up and said with a smile: "Then Mr. thought something would happen"

Yang Jihe shook the fan gently, "After all, Grandpa Guo is a young man, he must be young and vigorous, he can't hold back for a while, and casualties are inevitable. Then, at this moment, the Rongguo Mansion may have been surrounded by the Jinyi Army. As for the prince, also It won't last long."

Jia Lian took Yang Jihe's fan and slammed it twice, "It seems that they will be disappointed."

"It's just, why did you tell me this. You just said that you were the scavenger of Prince Anyi."

Yang Jihe sat up straight and looked at Jia Lian, "I'm just curious."

Jia Lian said in surprise: "What am I curious about?"

Yang Jihe said with admiration: "The grandfather of the country has become famous in recent years, and I just want to know the reason."

"that's it"

Jia Lian laughed, "I can tell you that current events force you to do it."

At this time, Yang Jihe actually stood up to leave. Jia Lian didn't hold back, "Mr. Yang doesn't seem to have to go back to Jinling so soon."

Yang Jihe just cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Just in the past few days, there are still a few good friends of the same year to reminisce about the old times.

Jia Lian asked him to offer gold and silver again. Yang Jihe did not accept it, and left gracefully. Jia Lian sighed for a long time, looked at the folding fan in his hand, and said to himself, "It's rare to be confused!"

Only after entering the backyard, he asked Ke Qing to find out who Yang Jihe was. Just as he was talking, a loud reprimand from Sister Feng came from the courtyard, "You are not upright, and you dare to chew your tongue behind your back. It really hurts my heart. I rush tomorrow to let Brother Huan live alone, and follow his shallow-eyed Laozi, what else can I learn from it To clean up a small courtyard, Jane sent a stern and serious girl to teach Brother Huan well."

Jia Lian heard clearly, came out and said with a smile: "What makes our second grandma so angry, brother Huan"

When Sister Feng saw Jia Lian, she hurriedly greeted him, "There are only these masters in the family. Baoyu doesn't care, Langer is still young, Huan and Cong are brothers who are really coming out of the stove. Yes, I couldn't get on the stage, I didn't study well, and my heart was too narrow. I scolded Zhao Yiniang a few times over there, and the more I thought about it when I came back, the more angry I became. I'm afraid it's better."

Jia Lian also felt it was appropriate, the couple discussed it well, and they did not have to go back to Jia Zheng, so they placed it in a yard beside Mengpo Zhai. "Second brother"

A crisp laughter came in. Jia Lian heard it cordially and hurriedly looked outside. It turned out that it was Xiang Yun, who was pulling Daiyu, and sisters Baochai and Sanchun Xiuyan, all of them. You danced so well, it turned out that it was Sister Yun! Even if you arrive sooner or later, I don’t send anyone to tell me, I’ll go to your house and pick it up in person!”

"Pooh!"

Xiangyun spat: "Brother is a liar, last time he said that he would keep me here, and he would not come back when he went to the south. I finally heard that the second brother was back, so I was looking forward to picking me up. I don't know any news at all. What's even more disgusting is that the second brother obviously built such a big garden, the sisters all went there, and even started a poetry club, and I was left alone, I was very sad! My sister forgot

Tears were about to flow as he spoke. Jia Lian hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Yun, don't be surprised, she has been busy all the time, and I was thinking of picking you up these few days!"

"Humph!"

Xiangyun said disapprovingly, "I can't believe what the second brother said. This time, I asked the old lady to take me back. I asked the old lady to take me back. Otherwise, I might have to wait until when Woolen cloth!"

She came up and pulled Jia Lian's sleeve, "Second brother, when are we going to your garden, or we can go now, can you also give me a small building to live in? If not, then I will live with Sister Lin. , is also convenient. Is it okay?”

Jia Lianzhi pointed at her, "Sister Bao's birthday is in two days. Let's go there together after we have eaten her wine."

"real"

Xiang Yun smiled and clapped his hands, "Then I'm really here!"

She went over to hold Bao Chai, "Sister Bao, you must have a lively event!"

Baochai smiled and said, "As soon as girl Yun comes, we will be lively enough here."

Xiangyun smiled and said, "You don't know what life I've been living at home. I've dreamed of coming here! The sisters are talking and laughing, and they can also write poems! It's great!"

Chapter [*] Who is Yang Jihe? The arrival of Xiangyun makes the Rongguo Mansion a lot brighter. It's just because the girls in Jia's family and Baodai Xiuyan are all quiet, even if they are more lively explorers. Chun Ye was just looking forward to a god, and would never chat and laugh loudly like Xiang Yun. Jia Lian smiled and said, "I always feel that something is wrong these days. Now I know that it was Sister Yun who didn't come. It's cold at home”

Halfway through speaking, I found that many pairs of eyes were looking at me. "Well, there are many people in the family, and there is another person who likes to write poetry. The third sister must be the favorite."

Tan Chunxi smiled and pulled Xiangyun, "Second brother is right, seeing that our poetry club is getting more and more prosperous, why don't we go to discuss how we will open the club next time?"

"Okay! I've been free for so long, this time you must let me be the host!"

Everyone laughed. Jia Lian looked at Yingying and Yanyan in the courtyard, and the unpleasantness from before disappeared. Sister Feng walked over and held Xiangyun's hand, "You girl previously complained that your second brother didn't want to miss you. He is I kept talking about it, I just don't know how many things happened this year. Don't look at him as Hou Chenggong. He has been on the battlefield several times. It really doesn't work. I picked it up early in the morning. How can you thank me?"

Xiangyun quickly blessed and said with a smile: "Thank you sister Feng for thinking of me! Tomorrow I will put more incense sticks in front of the Bodhisattva, and bless you to give birth to a big fat boy for your second brother! Amitabha!"

"You girl!"

Sister Feng was going to pinch her, she turned and hid behind Daiyu. Sister Feng also smiled and said, "I remember, if not, I will ask you to settle the account!"

After laughing, Jia Lian asked, "Where does Sister Yun live?"

Xiangyun replied: "The old lady taught me to live in the biscuit closet, but I want to be with everyone."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "In my opinion, you might as well stay with the third sister, it is convenient to discuss the poetry club, and if you make trouble, it has nothing to do with us."

"It doesn't matter"

Xiang Yun immediately refuted: "My brother is the most biased. When I came, I heard the third sister say, when the mother was saving her relatives, she wrote poems on the spot, and also linked sentences with the sisters. I can't envy it. Next time, you can't hide it and tuck it away, if it doesn't work well, you will be punished!"

Jia Lian jokingly said, "I will give you a Fengyuan Collection tomorrow. It's a rare masterpiece. I wrote it myself."

"real"

Xiang Yun clapped his hands and said, "Second brother immediately. Give it to me!"

The sisters were a little ashamed. Tan Chun pulled her, "This is a random collection of numbers, where is a collection of serious poems and my brother's poems are not a single one, but he wrote and copied it at the end."

Xiang Yun glared at Jia Lian and said, "That's fine!"

They quarreled for a while before they left. There is no need to talk about this section. Let's talk about this day, in the East Palace, the prince called repeatedly: "Where is Xiaodouzi, come find him, and ask him if you have anything else."

At this time, the guard next to him led Xu Guang to report: "Your Highness, Xiaodouzi was taken away by the Jinyi Army."

"Brilliant Army"

The prince frowned, "What's wrong with him?"

Then Xu Guang replied: "I heard that he was a guile, slanderous and confused, and plotted to be evil. Even the good ones he had been friends with were also taken away."

I'm afraid it's bad luck now, and even his bedding has been taken away. The prince frowned even tighter, "He has made friends."

Xu Guang spat out a few words, "Prince."

Prince Anyi is not at ease now, so he received the news that his eyeliner Xiaodouzi and some other people in the East Palace were uprooted by the Jinyi Army. It is said that he was cut off without even being tried. ,, thinking about whether to plead guilty to the emperor, or just pretending that he didn't see it and didn't know it had nothing to do with him: "Wang Changshi, you have an idea!"

Wang Changshi smiled and said, "Your Highness is worry-free, there must be nothing to worry about."

Prince Anyi hurriedly brought tea to him and asked, "How do you say?"

Wang Changshi stroked his three mustaches, "If the emperor wanted to ask the prince's sin, he wouldn't have killed Xiaodouzi and the others so quickly and neatly. Wouldn't there be no evidence if they were killed?"

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of it?"

Prince Anyi laughed, took back the tea he was going to hand to Wang Changshi, and drank it himself. "By the way, I heard that Yang Jihe is still here: Shenjing, let him get out! In terms of your face, how can you take in the solitary and evil Jiangnan Zhen family, how much income is lost?"

A stern look flashed on Wang Changshi's face, and just then he said with a smile: "Well, then Yang Jihe should also leave."

The next day, Jia Lian invited Yang Jihe to Mengpo Zhai in Rongfu. Jia Lian served tea in person, "I heard that Mr. Yang worked in Zhejiang."

Yang Jihe said: "The district magistrate of Jiaxing is not allowed to enter the imperial court."

Jia Lian asked with a smile, "Then why did you quit?"

Yang Jihe said casually: "Just because the second son of the Zhen family wounded people in Jiaxing, I sent the yamen to arrest him, but the second son of the Zhen family was tied up and thrown out. Even I was reprimanded, and soon I was deposed. fall."

Not only that, shortly after he left his job and returned to Jinling, his only son became seriously ill, and the doctors around him were afraid of the Zhen family, so he stayed for a long time and even died. No career. Jia Lian returned the folding fan Yang Jihe left to him that day, "I'll tell you a secret, I killed Zhen Er, believe it or not"

Yang Jihe's eyes flickered, and he looked at Jia Lian deeply. He just listened to Jia Lian continue: "Also, the Zhen family can't grow. If you want to copy their home, maybe I can give you this opportunity."

Then Yang Jihe could no longer keep his indifferent appearance, and then stood up and gave Jia Lianchang a salute, "I have been waiting for this opportunity for the next ten years."

Jia Lian stepped forward to help him, "The Zhen family and my Jia family are friends, how can you believe me?"

Yang Jihe smiled and said, "The grandfather massacred the salt merchants in Yangzhou, and suppressed the tyrants in Jinling, but it's not what a family friend should do."

Jia Lian laughed dumbly, "Mr. Yang still sees it thoroughly. I just don't know what Mr. has to teach me right now."

So Yang Jihe took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Lian. Jia Lian took it over curiously and opened it, with more than ten people's names and official positions written on it. In the middle, the Imperial Servant and so on. Yang Jihe said: "I have had a chat with these people in the past few days. If the grandfather of the country is interested, you only need to spend some gold and silk painting and calligraphy, which can be used by the grandfather of the country. In order to promote the operation and promotion, the imperial court cannot be without the eyes and ears of the grandfather of the country."

Jia Lian was overjoyed, he has always been fighting alone, and the less is the power of the eyes and ears , I can recommend a gentleman in the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Rites, or even the Prefectural Court"

Yang Jihe shook his head and smiled and said, "I have no intention of pursuing an official career. If there is an extra room in the mansion, I would be very grateful if I could borrow it for a few days."

"I have a lot of houses in my house! Immediately. Arrange for you."

Jia Lian took out a jade card from his arms and put it in his hand, "Just use it for the cost."

The two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word. In the end, Jia Lian placed him in a small courtyard in the Rongyang courtyard of Beijuxianfang. Everything was in order. Jia Lian sang a ditty into Miaoyu with his hands behind his back. The room. Miaoyu smiled and said, "My brother has a happy event today."

Jia Lian said: "It's a big joy. Then Yang Jihe really hated the Zhen family as Jio Feng said, and we hit it off. Besides, he also gave me a big gift. How can I be unhappy?"

Miaoyu said: "That Xiaofeng and Yang Jihe are in the Prince of Anyi's mansion, naturally they know a lot about it."

Jia Lian put his arms around her, "The code name of Xiaofeng is somewhat interesting. Can't you see clearly from a distance when you stand in the corner of the hall?"

Miaoyu said with a smile: "Dragon gave birth to nine sons, this is just one of them."
