The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Keqing asked: "Second Master, but those people"

Jia Lian spread his hands and pretended not to know: "Who?"

Keqing spat: "Second Master is still hiding it from us, if you don't know about it, isn't it our dereliction of duty?"

Miaoyu smiled and took his hand, "Shangqingxuguan must be very lively tonight."

Ke Qing nodded, "If Er Ye was so distracted just now, don't think we couldn't see it. It's just that I don't want to say it!"

Jia Lian waved his hand hastily, "Keep your voice down, let them know and be frightened."

"It's all right!"

Keqing said: "They all slept very deeply. Good second master, what's going on, but no matter what we do, we're all anxious to death."

Jia Lian smiled: "It's all good, just a few fish."

Miaoyu asked: "Then know who did it?"

Jia Lian only said: "There are more than one place here, and I won't understand it for a while. It's better to rest first, and I'll explain it to you when I have time!"

He yawned and went to the kang inside. They couldn't ask anything, so they had to blow the light and lie down beside Jia Lian. When the sky was about to dawn, Sister Feng sat up dimly and saw them Before he woke up, he hurriedly pushed Baochai to get up, and gradually he was all dressed up, and the girls were waiting to wash up. Sister Feng asked again, "When did the second master go out?"

Everyone looked blank and didn't know. Sister Feng scolded: "Every one of them is dead, and the second master doesn't know when he goes out. What else do you have to do?"

Baochai said with a smile: "Sister Feng, don't be in a hurry, here and outside... are all our people, the second master will be fine. I'll find out later by asking the servants outside."

Qian Xue, who was sleeping at the door, rubbed her dazed eyes, and said uncertainly, "Second Master just went out not long ago, and the servant asked him to come, and he said he would go back to the manor."

Miaoyu said, "You didn't ask anything."

Qianxue said: "The slaves only heard the second master talking to Mr. Yang outside the door. It seems that there is something wrong with the Dongfu Master Xiaorong, but the voice is small and can't hear clearly. I don't know about the rest."

In a hurry, when the dressing was finished, Amber in front of the old lady came over and said that the old ladies and the ladies had already woken up. So Sister Feng hurried out with Keqing, waited on the old lady and the others, and went to Princess Linhai to say goodbye. After having breakfast, I had to take a stroll around the scenery behind, and I could not go back until the afternoon. Besides, Jia Lian left Qingxuguan early in the morning, and only brought a small group of people back to Shenjing Rongning Street in a hurry. At the front door, Jia Rong ran over and knelt in front of him, crying loudly, "Uncle, my grandfather is gone!"

Jia Lian asked: "The eldest master has always been cultivating in Xuanzhen Temple, and he is in good health. What's wrong with him, why did he suddenly disappear?"

Jia Rong wept and said: "According to the Taoist priest who reported the letter, Grandpa originally ate the cinnabar made from the secret method, and he was fine last night. I don't think that the Taoist priests just said the situation was not good this morning and waited for my nephew. When I hurried over, my skin and lips were burnt and wrinkled, and my stomach was as hard as iron. It has been back to the sky for a long time. I had no choice but to quietly transport the body back and report to my uncle, asking him to take charge of the overall situation."

Jia Liandao: "For the time being, let all those Taoist priests be detained, and only tell the outside world that they will go back to their own house. Please ask the imperial doctor to see if it is really caused by taking pills."

Jia Rong replied, "My nephew has already ordered them to lock up the Taoist priest, and invited the imperial doctor Wang to come, and he also said that he died of poisoning from pills."

Jia Lian sighed: "The eldest master seeks benevolence, loses his form, and rises to the nine heavens. Let's be descendants and give him a good ride, that's all!"

Immediately, he entered the Ning Mansion and saw Jia Jing, and it was exactly as he said. Jia Lian therefore ordered the Ning Mansion to mourn, assign various deacons and servants, and prepare everything for the use of banners and bars. Knowing the funeral, he hurriedly removed his makeup and went home in plain clothes. Jia Lian also reported to the old lady that everything was in order, and there was no need for the old lady to worry about it. She simply stopped for another day and did not rush back. They didn't listen to the show or watch the dance, and only talked with Princess Linhai in the audience. Sister Feng and the others were no longer restrained, and the jokes were the same. The drummer's shed and archway had already been erected in front of the Ning Mansion, and the coffin was parked in the main hall. The veil was flying, and the mourning sounded. The funeral was reported to the court. The court remembered the merits of Ning Guogong in the past, and specially ordered Jia Jing to be awarded the post of third-rank general, and the Guanglu Temple offered sacrifices according to the above example. The funeral ceremony was held for several days. The guests were like clouds. Jia Rong was dressed in filial piety and knelt in front of the spirit. You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy taking care of the housework and assigning deacons. Guest. The princes, concubines, princes and uncles, and the elders of the imperial court and below will not be offering sacrifices or sending people to sacrifice. Soon, it was reported from the door that the king of Beijing had come in person! Jia Lian was a little confused, so he had to go out to greet him. When King Beijing saw Jia Lian, he also had a look of sadness on his face, "Second brother Lian, Xiao Wang heard that Shibo was concentrating on cultivating the Tao, so he raised his toes and flew up, so there is no need to be too sad."

When Jia Lian heard his second brother Lian, there was a flash of vigilance in his heart, and he cupped his hands and thanked: "What the lord said! Please sit inside."

He led the water into the Ningxi Xuan of Huifang Garden. Jia Lian said: "The lord took the time to come, and Jia's house is full of hospitality. It's just that you have filial piety, and you can't entertain banquets, but also invite Haihan."

Shui Rong shook his head and said, "You and I have always been friends in the world. Brother Lian is blaming Xiao Wang for saying this."

The two chatted for a while before Jia Liancai ordered tea to be served, "Your Highness, it's not early, this minister will send your Highness back."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Second brother Lian doesn't like seeing Xiao Wang so much"

Jia Lian poured himself a cup of tea, "I don't dare, I just feel that the prince is enough for the etiquette, and dare not let the prince break the festival and be impeached by the censor."

Shui Rong sighed: "Second brother Lian, you don't like to see Xiao Wang so much and now that the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor are not here, the grievances between you and me in the past should be gone."

Listening to his tone, he put the little emperor at He Jia Lian and snorted coldly: "Your Highness, be careful, that is a high temple and a temple. If today's son is wise and sage, he will be the king of Yao and Shun!"

"All right!"

Shui Rong said with a sneer: "This is your home, and it is also installed in front of Xiao Wang"

Jia Lian said lightly: "Then, why did the lord come here?"

Shui Rong looked around. Jia Lian ordered people to step back, "You can say it."

Shui Rong said with a smile: "If Xiao Wang once made a move to set things right, then Brother Lian is already on that road now."

Jia Lian said: "I am entrusted by the previous emperor to help protect the country and the country, and I can learn from the sun and the moon. How can you be compared with me?"

Shui Rong said faintly: "Even if you think so yourself, does the little emperor think so? Will those ministers in the court think so? Also, don't you think it's too strange for the prince to die?"

Jia Lian's face was expressionless, "Your Highness, be careful if you talk too much, you will lose it. The reason why you are still here now, and you didn't bury the Emperor Taishang, shouldn't you thank me?"

Chapter [-] Jia Lian, who has a great reputation for many girls, has no good feelings for King Beijing. Shui Rong said, "Second brother Lian, the reason why Xiao Wang is still alive is that the emperor at that time was the guardian of the emperor, and the emperor's imperial decree The second is that many ministers in the current dynasty have participated in the congratulations. If Xiao Wang is held accountable, they will not be able to escape. Naturally, it is necessary to focus on quietness, so Xiao Wang has no worries about his life for the time being!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's only temporary. When the court frees up its hands, I will think of you."

Shui Rong sat up straight, "Second brother Lian, if Xiao Wang can't run away, you can't run far."

Jia Lian played with the tea cup in his hand, "Please rest assured, my lord, if that day comes, I will still try my best to keep the lord's family safe."

The water-soluble surface twitched, "you don't worry about yourself"

Jia Lian said: "I need to worry about what to persuade you not to make the wrong idea. I persuaded the prince last time in the palace, don't think about unrealistic things in the future, just pay attention to the romance, don't make any crooked thoughts, be careful The Jinyi Army came to raid the house!"

Shui Rong suddenly came closer, "Second Brother Lian, you just trust Dong Hui, the commander of the Jinyi Army."

Jia Lian glanced at Shui Rong, "Your Highness is wrong, since Dong Hui is a Jinyi Army, I don't need to believe it or not."

Shui Rong sat back and leaned on the back of the chair, "Second brother Haojiao Lian knows that although the previous emperor swept away all the military camps in the court, there were always a few inconspicuous places that were missed. Therefore, Xiao Wang can still I heard some inside information. For example, the second brother Lian was assassinated when he was sent back to Beijing."

Jia Lian sneered, "It seems that the lord is still not reconciled, how about the lord entrusting the princess to the next?"

Shui Rongsheng stood up and said angrily: "Well, you Jia Lian, this king persuaded with good intentions, since you don't listen and insist on going on the road to death, then this king has nothing to say, let your wives and concubines be in groups, gold and silver. Such as mountains make wedding clothes for others! Say goodbye!"

Angrily, he left immediately. Jia Lian didn't mean to stop him at all. Shi Shiran poured tea for himself and tasted it slowly. But Shuishun walked to the door, but he didn't leave. After a while, he turned back and sat down. Going down, he said sullenly: "Second brother Lian, maybe it's Xiao Wang who is unreasonably worried, you are really walking on a dangerous road, and if you are not careful, you will drop into the abyss."

"My lord!"

Jia Lian got up and said, "You don't have to worry about our family's affairs, I will handle it myself."

Shuishun also snorted coldly at this moment: "This king didn't care about you. If you hadn't made a mess at the time, how could someone put a knife around your neck like now. This king is just worried that you will be unlucky, and I will make them settle accounts in the autumn! "

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing and said, "It's selfish to say that earlier, and I'll believe you."

Shuishun then straightened his robe sleeves and sat down: "Second brother Lian, Xiao Wang, let me tell you this, as far as I know, the person in the hall is not... a child who doesn't know anything, who used to be in your name. It is circled with a red pen and painted over. Even if you push Niu Jizong and Liu Fang out, it will not change the fact that you are in control of the military. And they are not fuel-efficient lamps, and you are not necessarily in the same heart. Not only can't dispel their concerns, but it's causing trouble for himself. If the previous emperor was still there, you would have been torn down and killed by him long ago, and he would have waited until now, even if the little emperor didn't have a pro-government, he was quite tolerant. "

Jia Lian smiled and said: "I don't listen to this, you haven't told me what to do?"

Shuishun spread his hands, "Second Brother Lian, I think you are wrong, it's not what, but what you want to do"

Jia Lian said: "I don't want to do anything, but I have ambitions, so that's fine."

Shui Rong also poured a glass of his own, "Ambition doesn't exist from the beginning. Only when you get to that position can you experience the helplessness of reality. No matter how you want it or not, once you cross that step, there is no turning back. You can only go all the way to the dark. Even if you want to regret it, others will whip you behind you. You can't help yourself, and you can only move forward with a heavy burden. Gradually, even you will realize that you have long deviated from your original expectations."

He took a bite, "Second brother Lian, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it without ambition."

Jia Lian looked at the tea cup, "Is this talking about yourself?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "I sigh for a while, whether you believe it or not is up to you. Today, Xiao Wang is superfluous."

He didn't mention any conspiracy ambitions again, said a few more gossips, and then left. However, Jia Lian's heart was filled with ripples. At least one thing he said was right, then Dong Hui really couldn't believe it. Speaking of the afternoon, In the Qingxu Temple, the old lady and the others got into the sedan car and returned to the mansion. The old lady led the ladies and girls to worship in front of the spirit again. After comforting with You Shi, they returned to the Rong mansion to rest. Aunt Xue had other things to do. I also talked to Jia Lian. Just as Jia Lian sent away Wang Yongchang's concubine of Nan'an County, he turned back to see Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue got up and welcomed Jia Lian into the house, let him sit on the first couch, and sat on his own. Beside him, he smiled and said, "I know you are busy, so I don't dare to disturb you very much. I will just say one sentence."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, Mom, we are all family, so why be polite?"

Aunt Xue laughed, "Theoretical, it shouldn't be said at this time, but I'm afraid of delay, so I simply ask you for an opinion."

Jia Lian was puzzled and asked, "What is it?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "a few days ago, I found a very good marriage for Pan'er. You have a lot of face, and I want to ask you to talk about it."

"Oh"

Jia Lian was a little surprised, "I don't know which one I'm looking for for Brother Pan"

Aunt Xue said: "It's the legendary Osmanthus Xia family. There is only one daughter. The nickname is Jin Gui. The age and family background are all matched!"

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing, and he assigned her to Sun Shaozu in Qingxuguan, and here he came to the door, "I know a little about this Xia family, I heard that the girls in this family are not very good-natured"

Kindly explain it to her. Aunt Xue disdainfully said: "It takes a fierce temper to control the one in our family... Overlord. One day you have time to spare, and someone invites you to post. If it happens, you will be indispensable. the benefits of!"

Jia Lian said: "It's not this."

How can a girl like Xia Jingui only give this one and not that one... Or should I give this first, and then give that... I'm really troubled! "I'm afraid I'll flatter them. And say we're bullying others."

Aunt Xue's face changed slightly, and she said, "I don't hide it from you. Today, I heard that a matchmaker told the girl to a conductor Sun. If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to count on it."

Jia Lian laughed and said: "Mom, this is a marriage for me to be a bad guy! I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Aunt Xue wanted to speak, so Tongxi walked in in a panic, "Ma'am, it's not good! It's not good!"

Glancing at Jia Lian, she stopped talking. Aunt Xue didn't know what to do, so she frowned and said, "Speak! Hesitant!"

That Tongxi said: "Madam, our uncle has hooked Duo Zun's wife for some reason, and now Duo Zun has taken him and is making a fuss over there!"

"what"

Aunt Xue also lived in the Rong Mansion for a long time. It's strange that she didn't know how many girls have such a great reputation. Then when did Xue Pan's taste become so important?

Chapter [-] It's all your fault Aunt Xue asked as she walked, "Didn't those girls be kicked out, why are they still here?"

Tongxi just shook his head and didn't know. When he walked to the back door of Ning Mansion, there were already a lot of people around. Inside the crowd, Duo Zun was full of alcohol and did not dare to approach Xue Pan, so he timidly shouted, "Uncle Xue. , Since you used my lady, you should give some money! My lady's flesh is also fine."

The people watching the lively around couldn't listen anymore, and they all cheered. Xue Pan rolled up his sleeves and said angrily: "Fuck your mother, when did I play with your wife? On the head, it's really a coward!"

Saying that, without saying a word, he threw up his fists and hit him. Those worms had long been ruined by the wine scum, their feet were sluggish, their hands were weak, and when they saw Xue Pan's bowl-sized fist, they were scared to death. He hurriedly turned his head and walked away. After only two steps, he was naturally caught up by the angry Uncle Xue, and was knocked to the ground with three punches and two feet. The worm cried out in pain, "Uncle Xue spare your life, Uncle Xue spare your life. Ah! The villain is willing to dedicate his wife to the uncle, or use it as an outside room, and just give some money, spend, drink and eat!"

But Uncle Xue is not calm, he can take advantage of the losers, and he is even more serious, scolding: "What a servant, you don't ask about it, I, Uncle Xue, are playing with women, so I should go to places like Chunfeng Building in Jinxiangyuan to find those people. You can squeeze out water with a pinch! Look at your wife, how can you compare?"

I grabbed too many girls and twisted them on her body. Who would have guessed that once these girls were next to each other, their muscles and bones would go limp and their eyes would fly. "Master hurts, have you forgotten about the slave family?"

The voice was soft and soft. Rao was a veteran of Xue Panhua's middle school, and it was also trembling. Xue Pan was not a blindly reckless man, so he immediately let go, "What is this, the uncle has never touched you, don't scratch your head in front of the uncle, otherwise, I will Go down with a fist and give the account of you bastards and scum, but you can't blame me! Get out of here while I'm in a good mood!"

He kicked Duo Zun again fiercely. Duo Zun just screamed. At this moment, Aunt Jia Lianxue and You Shi both rushed over. You drank away the little servant girl who was watching. She was early in the morning. After getting the letter, he said to the girl in disgust, "Whoever let you in tell me and I won't break your legs!"

That many girls are not afraid of men, but they are afraid of You Shi and other female masters, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "If you go back to the big grandma, it was Uncle Xue who brought the slaves in."

Xue Pan was next to him and was about to hit someone with his sleeves. Aunt Xue shouted, "Isn't it too embarrassing? Did you bring it in?"

Xue Pan did not dare to lie in front of Aunt Xue, and argued forcefully, "Mom, don't believe her words."

"Say it!"

Aunt Xue only felt that she was about to lose all her face in Jia's house. Xue Pan hesitated for a while before replying, "I brought it in."

Jia Lian asked curiously, "When you brought her in to do Shi Xuepan, her face turned red and then white. The many girls seemed to be okay, and said softly: "The uncle gave me ten taels of silver, two pieces of satin, and a few hairpins. Let the slave family accompany him. After entering the house, he needs to do things with the family's clothes, but the slave family refuses, and he is also annoyed. The slave family is a woman, how to fight for too little and have to obey him, and an hour, but I don't want my man Come in. Then they fight."
