The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

"Damn!"

Wang Ziteng threw the tea cup in his hand angrily, "Why is this forcing me? Don't I know that I need to save Brother Ren, tell her, let her stay in her own house, and tell her to take care of things outside. !Teach the child bad!"

Ye Shi hurriedly persuaded: "Master, calm down, brother Ren's daughter-in-law is also in a hurry, and she doesn't choose what to say. And she always talks like this, so it's okay to spare her this time."

Prince Teng said angrily: "Killing for life, don't you even know the truth? Just go elsewhere!"

This sentence reminded Ye Shi, "Master, since you are in an awkward position, it is better to let Brother Ren's daughter-in-law go to Jia's family and try to solve the problem without the need for the master to come forward"

The prince snorted coldly, "It's long overdue, there is an imperial concubine in his family, even if the emperor is to blame!"

Although Wang Ren's matter is a problem for my Wang family, you are in charge! If my Wang family falls, your Jia family will not end well, and you will have to tear off a piece of meat. So Ye Shi hurriedly went out to console Wang Ren's daughter-in-law. After a while, The housekeeper came in: "Master, Master Jia from Xinglong Street has sent someone here."

Prince Teng frowned, "Let him in."

Not to mention how Jia Yucun and Wang Ziteng acted, Wang Ren's wife heard Ye Shi's words and immediately took a car to Rongguo Mansion. As soon as she saw Sister Feng, she knelt on the ground and cried, "Sister, please save your brother, Only you can save him now! Please!"

She was about to kowtow. Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law, why did you beg us here? What did the second uncle say?"

Wang Ren's wife shook her head, but refused to get up, "I got up after my sister promised to save your brother."

When it was about time to get to know each other, Madam Wang and Aunt Xue rushed over to hear the news, and they frowned when they saw Wang Ren's wife so rascal. Madam Wang said displeased, "If the sky is falling, it's impossible to make trouble here. Lost the face of the Wang family."

Aunt Xue also persuaded: "There is something to sit and talk about, it's not decency to make people laugh."

So Ping'er helped Wang Ren's daughter-in-law to sit down, and poured tea. Mrs. Wang asked, "I only heard that Brother Ren had an accident, but I don't know the details. What happened?"

Wang Ren's daughter-in-law cried and said about Wang Ren's beating to death, "Now the person has been taken away by the Ministry of Justice. It seems that he will be convicted. I heard people say that if he is convicted, it is a death penalty! What can we do?"

Madam Wang stood up in shock, "Second brother says how to save, there must be a charter."

Aunt Xue also said: "Yes, at this time, you can't be stingy. The money should be used for money, and the relationship should be changed. It is serious to save people first!"

Sister Feng calmed down first, "Theoretically, my uncle is the elder of the pavilion. If he can say hello to the Ministry of Punishment, it will be over."

At this time, I came here eagerly to beg our Madam Wang anxiously: "Second brother didn't say anything."

Wang Ren's wife cried for a while, and Mrs. Wang patted the coffee table angrily, "What are you crying about, say it!"

Wang Ren's daughter-in-law said, "I haven't seen my second uncle. Today, my second aunt reminded me to ask for my sister. Only my sister can save my family!"

After speaking, they had to kneel again. Ping'er and Su'er hurriedly stepped forward to support them. Sister Feng's face suddenly turned bad, "If the person surnamed Wang doesn't save himself, it's hard to ask the person surnamed Jia to save him."

Mrs. Wang also feels shameless now. In her heart, the Wang family is always stronger than the current Jia family. It is unbelievable that even the Wang family can't ask the Jia family to come. Aunt Xue can only sigh. Although she can't understand Wang Ziteng's political considerations, and do not know the faction of the court, but only Wang Ren's wife came to ask Feng girl to save her, it shows that the Jia family is still the Jia family [-] years ago, not the Wang family can compare. Quietly for I was glad for my previous correct decision. At this time, Yuanyang came over, "Madam, concubine, second grandmother, the old lady heard that the aunt and grandmother of the Wang family were here, so she asked to speak!"

Sister Feng smiled and held Yuanyang's hand, "Sister Yuanyang, the old lady just had her breakfast and was just about to rest, so many of us are going, I'm afraid it will make her restless, and she will have nothing to do, wait until the old lady is free before going. Bar!"

Yuanyang smiled and said, "Second grandmother, I was about to accompany you or not. The old lady just asked, but the servant made a slip of the tongue for a while, let the old lady know, and asked the wife, the second grandma to punish!"

Sister Feng knew that she had also suffered on behalf of others. Wang Ren's wife was crying just now. It would be strange if she didn't ask! So she smiled and said, "What did Sister Yuanyang say? My wife and I are going to the old lady's place!"

Chapter [-] It doesn't affect our family Jia Lian guessed that Wang Ziteng would stand by and cause trouble, but he didn't expect Wang Ren's daughter-in-law to come so directly, and he didn't even want to lose face. He received news from Sister Feng, With a sneer, it was really a good calculation. In this case, there is nothing to say. When he came to Rongqingtang, the old lady looked serious, Mrs. Wang sat down and sighed, while Aunt Xue comforted Wang Ren's wife who was crying , Sister Feng came up, "Second Master"

He glanced at Wang Ren's daughter-in-law, full of disdain, but he had to care about Wang Ren's life and death. Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's delicious to call me back in such a hurry."

Saying that, he waved at the mandarin ducks, "My sister will give me a little bit of the delicious food that the old lady kept."

Yuanyang smiled and brought out a plate of steamed chestnut flour cake with sweet-scented osmanthus, chicken oil rolls, and butter fried noodles, "I have prepared it for the second master."

Jia Lian didn't wait: she put it on the table, came straight over, and ate it in her hand. "The old lady's rolls taste better here, but they don't have that smell when you leave the house."

The old lady smiled and said: "There are still guests, and you don't even look like you are a son of everyone, so you won't be laughed at!"

Jia Lian said: "The sister-in-law of the Wang family is not an outsider either."

Mrs. Wang and the others were not easy to speak, and only looked at Sister Feng. So Sister Feng ordered another serving of steamed sweetened cheese, "Why do you think you haven't eaten anything, it seems that they are willing to make you hungry."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Today the emperor called me into the palace early to talk with him to relieve his boredom. He didn't sit on a stool, and he had to think about how to answer his old man's words, so he was hungry quickly. No, I just came back. I came here, how can I get the porridge that I ate in the morning until now”

Sister Feng said distressedly: "The emperor doesn't care about food."

Jia Lian laughed and said: "It's almost time, the emperor said that he won't let you eat! I can't rely on it to enter the palace next time, and I will go to the empress's place to order some fruits as a reward, and make up for it."

Mrs. Wang said: "I'm afraid that the empress will reward you with a lesson. She has said that you are lazy and let you do a good job!"

Jia Lian ate a plate in a fit of rage. "My lady will not teach me a lesson for this. But she is my elder sister. Last time I had no reason to tell me: "I can't refute it. Fortunately, I gave me a stool and didn't let me kneel." say."

The old lady laughed and scolded: "The maiden is also for your own good, and you should be reminded by someone from time to time."

Sister Feng waited for him to eat two mouthfuls of cheese, "Let's put the mat first, I have already asked the kitchen to prepare a few side dishes. After you have eaten, I will ask you to discuss anything else."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's up to the old lady and you to discuss matters at home. It doesn't matter what you discuss with me. Don't ask me."

Sister Feng spat: "I'm looking for you for a serious business. Jia Lian looked at Wang Ren's wife, "Could it be from Brother Wang Ren?"

Sister Feng said: "You eat it first, then it will take a while."

Jia Lian stopped after taking a few mouthfuls. A maid held the tea with a small tea tray, Jia Lian rinsed his mouth, "Then let's talk about the eldest brother first, I don't know how the second uncle of the Wang family plans to proceed. Madam Wang smiled: "His uncle's It means I want to hear your thoughts first."

Jia Lian said: "Is that so? Can I have any ideas? If the second uncle of the Wang family can do things with just a few words, I won't go and cause trouble for the old man."

"Second Master Lian, please save your brother!"

When he stood up, he had to kneel. Jia Lian stepped aside. Sister Feng hurriedly shouted, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Wang Ren's daughter-in-law had no choice. Hearing Jia Lian's intention to shirk, she couldn't bear it any longer. She choked up tears at first, and then she burst into tears. In general, Mrs. Wang felt more and more embarrassed, and asked Cai Yunxia to take her down. Aunt Xue also followed. So there were only Jia family members in the Rongqing Hall. Sister Feng sat next to Jia Lian, "Second Master, what are you doing? want"

Jia Lian said: "I didn't think much about it, I just thought that your uncle was not very authentic. He didn't want to save people, and he didn't want to take responsibility, so he instructed the Wang family's sister-in-law to come to me, and wanted me to be charged with this crime of bending the law for personal gain. Or maybe he has already After thinking about it, our family is protected by the mother, how can I think about one or two murder cases?"

Sister Feng sighed: "As soon as my useless sister-in-law came, I knew there must be a problem here. It's just how could he do this. My brother is his nephew."

Jia Lian said: "The key Wang Ren has made too much trouble this time, and the cost of trying to save him is too high, so that the elder pavilion retreated and threw the blame to me."

Sister Feng took a few pictures of the case, "How could he do this?"

Jia Lian smiled and pulled her, "After all, your uncle still wants to be the first assistant. If Wang Ren's reputation is damaged because of this matter, he will be brought down. Many people in the court are waiting to see. How hilarious he is!"

Mrs. Wang thoughtfully said: "I heard from Wang Ren's wife, Jia Yucun, who used to come to us often, is in charge of this case at the Criminal Department."

Jia Lian said casually: "This Jia Yucun used to worship under his uncle's door and recognized his relatives, but when he saw that Wang's uncle became a patriarch and the market was bullish, he voted in it. Now it is under the patriarch's door, how can we do it? can be flattered"

Mrs. Wang didn't know that there was such a relationship, so she had nothing to say. Could it be that for Brother Ren's business, Brother Lian had to beg her second brother, and even she would say no to Brother Ren's uncle. Exit: What's more, Jia Yucun is from Jia's house. Sister Feng is really hard to say, "My brother is a jerk, and I always wish him to die. My sister-in-law is like that again, just pity my two nieces and nephews. If I can save it, I can save it, if I can't, then forget it, I just don't have this brother, I'll take my nephew and niece over after the big deal, and I'll have a good life."

Jia Lian didn't expect Sister Feng to be so sensible, and couldn't help but persuade: "Feng'er, your brother doesn't have to pay for his life. Let's see how the Ministry of Justice convicted Wang Ren. If he is convicted of manslaughter, he can atone for the crime, whether fighting or not. Therefore, all killings require prisoners, and if there is a pardon or reduction, then the sins can be atonement."

There were tears in the corners of Sister Feng's eyes, "If there is such a good fortune, it will be only after the amnesty. If there is no such good fortune, it is also his life."

Jia Lian comforted: "The court grants amnesty, such as ascending the throne, being promoted to a nephew, moving the empress, the emperor has a long life of more than fifty years, the empress dowager has a long life of more than sixty years, and martial arts, etc. There are examples of amnesty. Even the worst results, there are still It's been nearly a year. When the time comes, there will be a way. It's just that the death penalty can be avoided, and the life penalty is hard to forgive. The elder brother should also learn some lessons."

Sister Feng hurriedly took his hand: "Second Master, I only want him to be alive. It's better to break his legs, so as not to cause trouble outside. No matter how much money you have, let the Wang family go out!"

The old lady nodded and said, "If it doesn't affect our family, help if you can!"

Chapter [-] A warning that counts birds with one stone The Ministry of Punishment soon decided that Wang Ren was killed for some reason and should be hanged. I still remember that Jia Lian's target was Jia Yu Village at that time, but now it has become a matter of Jia Lian. He gave Jia Yucun an unselfish hat and got the news from the Wang family and the spies in Xinglong Street. It seems that Prince Tengzao and Jia Yucun had negotiated it quickly and truthfully, without giving other people any excuses. Righteousness kills relatives and tears. There have been many dramas in Zanzi since ancient times, not to mention it was just a nephew. It seems that Jia Yucun did not follow his character of both sides, and the gourd case was broken. How to look at it, this is a loss for Jia Lian Although they saw the cause and effect clearly and made the most correct choice, they couldn't convince Wang Ren to accept this reality, especially since he thought he would be able to go out soon. The jar was broken, and he insisted that Jia Yucun deliberately framed him. So when someone could remind him, he made a lot of nonsense and said a lot of bad things about Jia Yucun while a certain imperial censor of the Duchayuan was on inspection. He only has the status of a supervisor, but most of Wang Ziteng's affairs were handled by him, and he knew clearly about the relationship between Wang Ziteng and Jia Yucun, so his confession immediately caused an uproar in the court. Wu Tianyou and others How could they miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to keep an eye on Jia Yucun and chasing him fiercely, never letting go of him, and even criticizing him who was dismissed because of greed. Well, it doesn't matter anymore. In the dead of night, Wang Ren was still swearing, and then wept bitterly, obviously he had such a tough background, how could he still fall into this field, he just accidentally killed a person, and others have nothing to do with treason! It's unfair! I am still complaining. There is another person who is scolding, that is, Jia Yucun, who was dragged into the water, in the middle of the vortex. Obviously he did nothing wrong, why should he expose his shortcomings? Ten thousand horses galloping, I don't know if I can tell. Wang Ren, can't you die peacefully? Ziteng is very angry. This was done. Jia Lian was only watching a play for several days, and he also fanned the flames in private. Not long after, Jia Yucun hired himself as an outsider, and the imperial court made him a local governor. After all, he was accused of being greedy, and he was fired. . This is a later story. Even Wang Zi Teng had to ask for an official post, only the emperor comforted him, but it was not allowed. Jia Lian counted birds with one stone, and achieved his own goal. But it also made others see that there was no relationship between him and Wang Zi Teng. The fact of harmony. For a time, the court was talking about the upper hand, but Jia Lian was still in the body, and those people still tried their tricks on Jia Lian. In the Daming Palace, the emperor threw a book. Jia Lian picked it up and saw that something was wrong. He was impeached for his use of power for personal gain, such as the ten major crimes. "Your Majesty, this is simply nonsense and nonsense!"

Jia Lian looked very angry. The emperor smiled and said: "Why are you so anxious that there is still such a book! Where is the temperament of the court minister?"

Jia Lian took a deep breath, "Then they can't make things out of nothing, and slander them maliciously."

"All right!"

The emperor got up from the imperial case and walked over to Jia Lian, "What happened to you and Wang Aiqing recently?"

Jia Lian bowed and replied: "I don't think there is anything wrong!"

The emperor pointed at him, "You think that I am deaf and blind, but Jia Yucun is hateful, but he is a minister of the imperial court, not a member of a certain family.

This is quite serious. Jia Lian quickly explained: "If you go back to the emperor, the minister also thinks that as a court official, you should be loyal to the emperor and serve the court. Jia Yucun first joined the court of the minister's uncle, and later became friends with Wang Ge. It is very secret, this matter is nothing to the minister, and the minister has no party and no portal. During this period of time, the minister has not said a word, and he has not submitted a note!"

The emperor nodded and said: "Yes, everyone else can't wait for three 3% discounts a day, you are good, it's not about you, you may be happy in your heart!"

Jia Lian said: "I really don't have a minister!"

The emperor put his hands behind his back, "I don't care if you have..., this is the end of the matter! You and Wang Aiqing are both my humerus ministers, so we can't have a quarrel because of this."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no rift between the minister and the old prince. Your Majesty, please don't listen to the rumors on the books."

The emperor gave him a deep look, "It's fine if you don't! You can retire!"

After coming out of Daming Palace, Jia Lian made sure of one thing. Wang Zi Teng is a god that the emperor deliberately put on his head. Although it is a puppet, you can't break it. Always keep Jia Lian in check. Think about it. Thinking, this is the technique of the emperor, the big and small, the internal and the external, and never let a certain force dominate. Jia Lian laughed at himself, when did he become a force that needs to be restricted by the emperor, and the little eunuch went to Fengzao again Gong. After kneeling down and taking a seat, Yuanchun asked about Wang Ren's case. Jia Lian said: "I have been detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. This matter was decided by Mr. Wang Ge himself, and we can't let: people grab the handle and say that he It's a waste of life. Right now, the city is full of storms, and I can't do anything about it."

Yuan Chun sighed: "I only have pity on his two children."

He didn't ask any more questions, and instead said with a smile: "Princess Linhai often comes to me recently and said some interesting things, do you want to know?"

Jia Lian's heart suddenly became nervous, "Niangniang, what did the princess say?"

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "I didn't say anything. I just said that Daiyu is getting older, and it's better to find a good husband. I asked Ben Gong to find out which young talent is suitable. Ben Gong only replied, if Speaking of talent, we have two in our family, but one brother Lian is married, and the other Baoyu is not worthy, so there is no suitable one."

Jia Lian couldn't help standing up, "That's what Princess Linhai really asked."

Yuan Chun's laughing flowers trembled, "You're in a hurry now"

How can Jia Lian not be in a hurry? If Princess Linhai asks the emperor to marry him, I am afraid that he will have to rebel to keep Daiyu. He just heard Yuanchun say: "I already knew about you and Daiyu, and Princess Linhai did not let Daiyu go out. The meaning of hiring. It's just that she looks down on you a little, for fear that you will wrong Daiyu!"

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Madame, this minister will not wrong her."

Yuan Chun smiled and said: "Princess Linhai really loves her daughter, you can be careful, you... mother-in-law is not... easy to fool."

After chatting for a while, he added: "Last time my mother came to the palace, she said that Baoyu is too old, you should pay attention to other people's marriage, but I haven't been able to find a good one. I looked at a few carefully, and I don't know if it will work or not. you listen"

Chapter [-] Baoyu should also kiss Jia Lian thinking, Baoyu has passed fifteen this year, and when it was time to discuss kissing, he smiled and said, "The maiden has the right idea, as long as the old lady and aunt agree. , I will personally go to the family to accept the ceremony. No matter what kind of family, there is a mother to preside over the marriage, and the dignified prince proposes marriage, who would dare not give face"

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. If you say it, it will be in conflict with what you like, wouldn't it be bad?"

He said that Jia Lian was uneasy. Could it be Baochai? After all, Mrs. Wang was always thinking of setting up a good relationship with Jinyu. If there are really other people, I can warn you again, don't even think about asking the emperor to give you an imperial order. Even if the emperor approves, I will not agree, I will definitely refute it."

Jia Lian replied: "Niangniang, you have said it many times. Let's talk about the person you appointed."

Yuanchun did not continue to preach, and asked Baoqin to bring a few scrolls of paintings to Jia Lian. Jia Lian opened it and saw that they were all line drawings of ladies, needless to say, she was the girl in Yuanchun's picture. Just listen to her say: "One She is the only daughter of Han Tong, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who is about the same age as Baoyu. One is the second daughter of Huang Deshou, the chief of the Dali Temple, who is one year younger than Baoyu. The other is the youngest granddaughter of Chen Qixun, the deputy imperial envoy of the Ducha Yuan. , He is also two years younger, but he is well-behaved and sensible. Naturally, there is no need to be picky about these three 3 appearances, and it is even rarer to be virtuous and virtuous.

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief. Yuanchun didn't get angry at all, and spat: "It's really unreasonable to be at ease now! Tell me, which one do you prefer here?"

Jia Lian shook his head, "I've never seen it before, so how can you say that Zi Chou Yin Mao is going to stand up and down, you're all set."

Yuan Chun laughed and said: "It's not for you to see people, it's for you to see their family background, are there any... who can't get married, or need to befriend."
