Tower of Babel

This is the guy, but now he is acting like a hermit, showing off in front of the people in Rongguo Mansion. Jia Lian and Jia Zhen were talking happily when Yuanyang came.

"Master of the East Mansion, the old lady asked Master Lian to go to Rongxi Hall to pay respects to Master Guangji"

Jia Zhen was very unhappy when he heard this and said, "What Master Guangji? Where did this wild monk come from?" Jia Zhen's tone clearly showed that he didn't want to give face to the old lady.

Yuanyang was not angry, and said in a humble manner, "To answer Master of the East Mansion, it is Master Guangji from the Bodhi Temple, not some wild monk. Why don't I report to the old lady that Master and Master have something to do, so I won't meet them for the time being."

Yuanyang didn't have to mention the monk, but just said that the old lady summoned her. This was obviously a tip-off to Jia Lian. Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile slightly. The slightest movement in the Jia Mansion couldn't be hidden from Zhang Cheng, and he had long understood what was going on.

Last night, the old lady may have seen through that she was a fake, but she definitely didn't want to seek justice for Jia Lian, and she didn't want to fight to the death. The so-called demon-subduing was just a trick to deceive outsiders. If it fails, she will look for a master. She even thought about how to retreat, and she looked fierce but weak.

Jia Zhen was about to refuse Jia Mu, but Zhang Cheng said, "What is coming will come sooner or later. If I don't go, she will think I am afraid of her! Brother Zhen, please be patient. I will be back soon. Let's go, Yuanyang, lead the way."

Seeing that Jia Lian was about to leave, Jia Zhen hurriedly said, "Brother, wait a moment. I will accompany you."

After saying that, he stood up and followed. The two followed Yuanyang to Rongxi Hall. Yuanyang did not go to the side door or corner door nearby, but went around to the main gate of Rongguo Mansion. This was what Jia Mu ordered, thinking that she wanted to give him a warning.

However, Yuanyang slowed down and whispered: "Second Master, be careful, it's a Hongmen Banquet"

The Dream of Red Mansions repeatedly hinted that Jia Lian and Yuanyang had an affair. Many experts in the Dream of Red Mansions analyzed that Jia Lian colluded with Yuanyang to steal Jia Mu's property, but Zhang Cheng was not interested in an old girl, and did not take Jia Mu's property seriously. Jia Lian's soul search did not involve any information in this regard. He thought that the relationship had not yet begun, and he did not expect that after rejecting Jia Mu's gift to him yesterday, she still took the initiative to show her affection to him!

It is the most difficult to accept the favor of a beauty. Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: Thank you, young lady. I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future.

Jia Zhen heard this and said: "Brother, I will go and gather people now. If she dares to harm me, I will make her pay!"

But Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said: "No need to do this. It is not necessary. Let alone a wild monk, even if there are thousands of troops, I don't care about the means of ordinary people."

The two chatted and laughed, and came to the main gate of Rongning Street. They saw that the red lacquered gate had been opened. On both sides of the white marble stone lions stood mighty servants, as if they were facing a great enemy. They all held real weapons and stood in a forest of swords and guns.

When Jia Zhen saw this, he was shocked. Jia Mu actually mobilized the personal soldiers of the Shi family! Although the generals had personal soldiers, there were only more than ten people guarding the house and the rest were kept in the family's farm. Only the servants and slaves of Ningguo Mansion were not enough to challenge Rongguo Mansion today. It's too late to gather Ningguo Mansion's personal soldiers now.! Then he looked at Jia Lian,

However, Jia Lian was still calm and composed. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he heard someone shouting, "Second Master Lian is here - Second Master Lian is here -!" The voices shouted directly to Rongxi Hall, and Jia Mu replied with a "please come". The voices were also relayed one after another, and the servants at the door made a gesture of invitation. Jia Zhen and Zhang Cheng followed Yuanyang and strode into the gate and headed straight for Rongxi Hall.

What demon-subduing is just a name. The real power is still violent output, not some immortal magic. A married woman is like water spilled. The Shi family should not have come, but since Jia Daishan died, Jia Jing became a monk, Jia She was suppressed by Jia Mu, and the Jia family lost its pillar. The in-laws became big, and in the words of the common people, they took care of the mother's family. Concerns. If Jia Mu has problems, the Shi family has problems! If Jia Mu falls in the Jia family, the Shi family will lose their long-term meal ticket. So they come whenever they are called. Grandmother Jia is not a model of feudal society, what are the three obediences and four virtues. After the death of the husband, the son follows the son. After Jia Daishan died, Grandmother Jia was the hen who crowed at dawn.

Zhang Cheng couldn't help but think back to last night. Under the dim candlelight, he didn't know whether the old and dim-sighted Grandmother Jia noticed that he was wearing a human skin mask. Although Grandmother Jia didn't mention this matter during the subsequent monitoring, she had been talking to him this morning, changing her face faster than turning a book. Maybe she found something! Zhang Cheng couldn't help but touch his cheek. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the joint between the mask and the skin. But then he thought it didn't matter. Everything was nothing in front of strength. At worst, I wouldn't play anymore! Put aside the speculation in my heart and come to Rongxi Hall.

But the room was full of distinguished guests. Grandmother Jia sat in the main hall. Today, everyone who came to visit was actually to see Jia Lian. Now that the real owner has come, all the guests in the hall stood up to welcome him.

Grandmother Jia said with a smile on her face: "Lian'er! Now that you have achieved success in your practice, I will introduce you to a friend who is also practicing. This is Master Guangji, a high monk from Bodhi Temple. Come and have some tea! You two should drink a cup together."

Serving tea and pouring water should be the job of a maid. One reason is that the maid is pretty and can add a bit of elegance. Another reason is that this is not an important job. However, the one serving tea and water today is Zhou Ruijia, a woman in her thirties or forties. Although she is still pretty, she is already half-mature. She was a big hit in front of Mrs. Wang and half a housekeeper. Doing this job is somewhat cheap.

There is a teapot and two teacups on the square plate. Zhou Ruijia, with her pink fingers lightly raised, held the teapot tightly, revealing her wrist as white as sheep fat, gently poured two cups of tea, then put down the teapot, and passed one of the teacups to Jia Lian first, saying "please" very naturally.

Seven Steps Heart-breaking Red Eight Treasures Heart-Turning Pot. Without shaking hands or panic, without changing her expression, she quietly poured herself a cup of poisoned tea. This job is really not something a little maid can do! It seems that Zhou Ruijia has done this many times and is already familiar with it! Zhang Cheng took the teacup and stared at Zhou Ruijia. He didn't take Guangji Zen Master's tea-serving skills seriously at all.

These women are all old bitches. Jia Mu prepared servants to help, but gave the right to command the servants to Guangji Zen Master. This monk decided whether Zhang Cheng was a demon or not., Master Guangji was not stupid and asked for medicine. If Jia Lian drank it, he would be possessed by evil spirits, and if he didn't drink it, he would become an immortal. Neither side wanted to take any responsibility. Jia Mu was murderous, but in the end, she gave the opportunity to serve tea to Mrs. Wang. As for what medicine to give, Mrs. Wang decided...

And Mrs. Wang also thought of an excuse to withdraw. Zhang Cheng was so scared by Zhou Ruijia that she hurriedly withdrew, but was pulled back by Zhang Cheng. In the surprise of everyone, Zhang Cheng poured the poisoned tea directly to Zhou Ruijia. Zhou Ruijia knew that the tea was poisonous, and she refused to drink it and fought back desperately.
