The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Jia Lian waited for Chen Yejun to leave, went back to the house to wash and change clothes, and went back to the porch to peel the peaches, and waited for Hu Po to say in a panic: "Second master, eldest son-in-law and elder aunt are bickering, and the old lady is scolding you." The second wife is confused, go and persuade her."

Jia Lian sat on the stool, put his elbows on his knees, looked at Amber and said with a smile, "Who stepped on your new skirt?"

Amber lowered her head in bewilderment, and the cat spun around like looking for its tail, only to see a light moss footprint left on her newly made hibiscus gauze skirt, and spat: "It must be Aunt Zhao who just pretended to persuade the fight Stepped on my skirt." After that, he took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and bent over to wipe it, and urged Jia Lian to go over quickly.

Jia Lian took the handkerchief from Quanxi and wiped his hands, put down the sleeves that had been rolled up, and then followed Amber to Rongqingtang.

On the way, he asked, "What are they arguing about?"

Hu Po felt sorry for the skirt and didn't bother to wipe it clean. She slightly lifted the skirt and followed Jia Lian, saying, "Second Wife has too many things to worry about, and even persuaded the old lady to give Sister Yu to Baoyu of Zhen's family. The old lady At first, I was moved - didn't the second master understand what she was thinking? The old lady was determined to protect our Jia family, and wanted to find another arm for the Jia family. That day the second master went out to take an exam, the old lady and the aunt Having said that, the aunt did not agree and did not agree. Now the eldest uncle went to say that the Zhen family might be trying to put a stigma on it, but the old lady immediately refused to agree. The old lady said that she is someone who is rich and rich like us. If the House of Good Gifts reaches the stage of lending loan sharks, the house will be empty, there will be no place to make money, and there will only be an empty shelf."

Jia Lian nodded again and again, only thinking that what Jia Mu said was reasonable, if the family was well-off, he should get money in his own public account like Jia Mu did.After Hu Po entered the Rongqing Hall, standing outside the door, she could only hear Mrs. Wang's angrily pleading, and Yuan Chun's vain description of the wealth and wealth of the Zhen family, but she never heard the voices of Jia Mu and Chen Yejun.

Seeing Yingchun and Xiangyun coming to find Jia's mother for dinner after class, he waved his hand and told them to eat in Yingchun's courtyard. Mother caressed her chest, and Aunt Zhou was busy feeding tea to Mother Jia.

Chen Yejun stood at the side with his hands down at a loss, while Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun, mother and daughter knelt on the ground covered with red pulu blankets.

After Jiamu drank the tea, she shook Aunt Zhao's hand away, pointed at Mrs. Wang and sneered, "You are so well-informed, you actually went to persuade your married daughter to do such a thing!"

Mrs. Wang was scolded in front of her son-in-law, she kept her head down and said nothing.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang loves her daughter deeply, Jia Lian dismissed the relationship with Zhen's family, walked up to Jia's mother and said with a smile, "What's wrong with the old ancestor? Even if the grandson can't be named on the gold list, he can't vent his anger to his second son. Aunt's head."

Mother Jia pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Yuan Chun lowered his head, and said for a long time: "Old lady, the Zhen family is bigger than ours, how could they put usury money? Since I was a child, I heard from the nuns that the Zhen family spends money like water when they pick up the driver. When you go out, the whole family is full of virtuous and polite people."

"You're pretending to be ignorant! Brother Jun is younger than you. He was coaxed outside to spend more money on drinks. Don't tell him how not to be coaxed, or how to pay back the money for him, first teach him He took the money from the bottom of the box in your room to interfere with the Zhen family's bastard affairs!" Jia Mu pointed at Yuan Chun aggressively and cursed.

Yuan Chun blushed with shame.

If Chen Yejun hadn't been short of money and red-eyed, he wouldn't have listened to Yuan Chun without hesitation, and just now said in a vigorous manner, seeing Jia's mother so transparent now, he couldn't bear to let her see her granddaughter and grandson-in-law with gray hair on her temples. Looking at her face, there was a lot of trouble, and besides, he thought that he was dizzy when he saw Qian's eyes opening earlier, so he quickly knelt down with Yuan Chun, and said, "Sister Yuan Chun also persuaded me, but I was so anxious that I refused to listen to her." of."

Jia's mother just sneered, and Jia Lian said with a smile: "Old lady, look at you scolding big sister Yuan, big brother-in-law feels distressed."

Mother Jia sneered, seeing that Chen Yejun and Yuan Chun were considered a harmonious husband and wife, she went down the steps, first asked Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun, and Chen Yijun to stand up, and then asked calmly, "What's going on with the Zhen family?"

Mrs. Wang secretly went to look at Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun lowered her head, both mother and daughter refused to speak.

Jia Lian thought the facts couldn't be clearer, isn't it just that the lack of money affects IQ, and a group of people pretend to be confused while pretending to understand?They also don't know how much reward the mother and daughter can get from encouraging him to give the Zhen family money together.

Jia's mother also understood in her heart, sighed softly, and said to Chen Yejun: "Go home and talk to your mother and sister-in-law very hard." Not everyone is willing to stop when they hear that the Zhen family is lending loan sharks. What's more, people are lucky enough to think that they will not be involved in this matter, so they are willing to give money; when something happens, Yuan Chun will become the target of public criticism, "You said that the Zhen family's fortune is coming, and there is no shortage of money." Looking at Mrs. Wang again, He couldn't help snorting, and then said to Jia Lian: "The married daughter of the Zhen family, our family is not good, after all, we are old relatives for many years. You should take the time to go for a walk, it's all loose and loose."

"Which family did the Zhen family's daughter marry into?" Jia Lian laughed.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's not someone else's house, it's Shi's house."

"Guangzhu?" Jia Lian was startled, then smiled and said, "Then we don't have to go, the Shi family hasn't sent us a message yet. When I saw him in the morning, he never told me. He didn't invite me. It’s not good for us to go hastily. Just send more gifts.”

Chen Yejun definitely wanted to go, but he was afraid that Yuanchun would be deceived by the Zhen family and really take the dowry to put a seal on the Zhen family, so he smiled at Jiamu: "I expected that the list will come down in two days, why don't you stay in Yuanchun?" Elder sister helps the old lady take care of the house? Otherwise, the old lady may not be able to cope with too many congratulations."

Jia's mother nodded, she wanted to tell Yuan Chun that only when the inside of the house was empty first would she plan to go outside, and she was afraid that it would lead to her stealing money from the public. It's a good idea to send Yuan Chun back to Chen's house after the wedding party has left, and then glanced at Mrs. Wang again: "Your daughter and son-in-law are so sensible, wouldn't you send money behind your back?"

Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "Where did mother say that?" If she and Yuan Chun hadn't had little money, they would never have told Jia Lian.Originally, it was a good thing for a close family to pull Jia Lian to make money together, but Jia Lian didn't say a few words to Chen Yejun, so he falsely accused the Zhen family, who had a lot of money and no land, for lending usury.

Seeing that Chen Yejun listened more to Jia Lian, Yuan Chun couldn't help but regret in his heart that he didn't generously pay back the money for Chen Yejun before Jia Lian.

Jia's mother said that she had a headache, and urged Jia Lian and Chen Yejun to go to Jinghuanzhai to talk, and then sent Mrs. Wang away, leaving Yuanchun alone to talk.

Jia Lian led Chen Yejun into the Jinghuanzhai again.

After entering the mountain gate through the wall, Chen Yejun, who had lost his mind, climbed the branches to pick persimmons by himself. When he looked up, he sighed: "If I had known this, it would be better not to marry a wife. Don't you know that all daughters in the world It's cute, but the one you marry, no matter what kind of temperament it is, is always the one you can't stand and guard against."

"Where did you get so many emotions?" Jia Lian folded his arms and smiled, and after Quan Fu whispered in his ear, he waved to Chen Yejun, and saw Chen Yejun holding the sleeves to frost the red persimmons After wiping it, he peeled and gnawed it. He couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he led him into the east room and sat in the third room on the Babu bed. He opened a box and took out the contents of the box, "Can you piece it together for me? up?"

Chen Yejun washed his hands and wiped his face, walked over, and sat on the footsteps of Sanjin. He saw a pile of long and short cylinders and even a wooden support that Jia Lian had brought out, and stared blankly at them. After taking a look at Jia Lian, he started to piece it together, and even asked for a hammer to nail the wooden support firmly. After a while, he handed Jia Lian a short musket that was most commonly used in the Shenji camp.

Jia Lian held a short musket in his hand, took the gunpowder from Quan Fu, loaded it, and tried to shoot out the window.

After a bang, the room was filled with a strong and choking smell of gunpowder, and the ears of the three people in the room were buzzing.

"Second Master, is it possible?" Quan Fu asked happily, and when Jia Lian nodded, he immediately ran out to spread the word.

This gun is brand new. When Chen Yejun saw Jia Lian put the gun in a box and put it away, he was a little dazed at first, and then he said in a low voice, "Second brother Lian, are you just joking around for a while? Really?"

Jia Lian put his arms around Chen Yejun's shoulders and said with a smile, "Don't ask me any more, I'll take your share. Anyway, I don't have the guts to rebel, so you just collect the money on time." The corpses are wiped out, and new ones will be brought before going out again; besides, the inspection on the pier is not strict. Things, of course, are foolproof.

Chen Yejun thought of Jia Liansu's boldness, and just now he didn't ask him how much money he owed, so he wanted to pay it back for him, so he whispered to Jia Lian: "Shenjiying draws money from the treasury, and every year some half-new ones are not old. All the usable items are hypothetically broken and left in the warehouse, if the second brother wants them, I will get them out for you. Anyway, they are smashed and recast every year as if they were broken."

"It's too risky, there's no need for it, it would be great if we could make a model."

"This is easier to handle." Chen Yejun smiled, completely disregarding the laws and regulations that were trampled by everyone in the Shenji Camp, and only had four words of brotherly loyalty in his heart.

After all, Yuan Chun is a beautiful and magnanimous wife, and Chen Yejun's thoughts on her are rather complicated. One side agreed to Jia Lian, but the other side was afraid that Jia's mother would scold Yuan Chun again, and went to Jia's mother to meet Jia Mu and Yuan Chun in person. After leaving, he said something about being foolish and being coaxed to spend too much money and regretted it, and then he was sent out of Rongguo Mansion by Jia Lian.

After Chen Yejun left, Jia Lian called for hot water again, took a good soak in the hot water, then went to look for Jia Amnesty in colorful clothes and played chess for a while, then went back to his room and fell asleep.

The next day there was nothing in the mansion, only two or three came to pay their respects to the same year before the announcement of the rankings, and Jia Lian just saw him; on the third day, he heard that Xu Yuheng had fallen ill after leaving the examination room, and Jia Lian wanted to I went to visit, but Jia's mother was afraid that he would go away "following the lame monk and the lame Taoist priest" like Huizi, so she refused to let him go, so she had to stay in the mansion and sent Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong to visit. It was a big problem, so I relaxed my heart.

After a few days, it finally came to the day when the announcement was made. Early in the morning, before dawn, Jincai and Lin Zhixiao took a few younger ones to watch the announcement; The purse is ready; Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu, and Mrs. Wang all gathered in Jiamu's room early in the morning to wait for news.

Even Yingchun, Baoyu, Tanchun, Xiangyun and Jiahuan didn't go to class anymore, and they all followed Yuanchun in Rongqing hall.

Naturally, Jia Lian was also left in the Rongqing Hall, sitting next to Jia Zhu, tracing his eyebrows with his hands. Seeing Baoyu beside him looking at him, he smiled and said, "How is Baoyu's reading of the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Before Baoyu could speak, Jia Zheng stroked his beard and said triumphantly: "He was born with a root of wisdom. Mr. Yan said that he can understand at a single point. Apart from his love of reading miscellaneous books, there is nothing wrong with him."

"It's good to read miscellaneous books, your horizons are broad, and your knowledge is naturally good." Jia She was nervous and disdainful of Jia Zheng's fighting spirit. This time, to show his identity, he beckoned Baoyu to come, and immediately praised Baoyu for his good reading. At the same time, he took the mutton fat white jade Pisces from his waist to admire him.

Baoyu took it, and hurriedly held it for Jiamu to see.

Aunt Zhao stood beside Jia Mu and waited on her. Considering the price of the jade, she couldn't help saying: "Brother Huan has also read a lot of words."

Jia Zheng nodded again and again, and Mother Jia didn't want to cause any trouble today, so she sent Pearl to find a sapphire pendant as a reward to Jia Huan, and called Jia Huan to come to her, seeing that Jia Huan looked fine, It is also very fair and delicate, but after receiving the jade pendant, she has been secretly looking at Baoyu's hand in a petty manner, as if she disliked the jade she gave her, so she said to Jia Huan with some displeasure: "Your jade is Your grandfather used it every day."

Only then did Jia Huan smile and kowtow to Mother Jia to thank her.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Zhao, knowing that Jia Huan knew how to look at jade when she was young, and guessed that Aunt Zhao was secretly instigating Jia Huan to say, "It's our mother's turn to do good things, they are all bad ones. Only then will it be our turn" and so on, which made Jia Huan such a ignorant person.She lowered her head and ate chestnuts with a small long-handled silver spoon. Considering that Mother Jia showed displeasure just now, she turned around and asked Mother Jia to keep Jia Huan by her side—if she mentioned it, then Aunt Zhao She will definitely jump up and down like a cat whose tail has been scorched by fire. Let's see how Jia Zheng can bear such a "crystal glass" person like her.Mrs. Wang's eyes glanced at Jia Lian again, and she silently recited the words "can't hit".

There was an undercurrent in the second room, everyone in the first room held their breath and waited for the news.

Suddenly the mandarin duck outside the door shouted: "Come here!"

Because her voice was full of joy, everyone couldn't help but look forward to it.Sure enough, after a while, through the curtain of the door, Jincai bowed and said, "Old lady, master is overjoyed! Second master is overjoyed!"

"How many!" Jia Amnesty blurted out, choking on saliva, coughing again and again.

Jia Zheng hurriedly got up and stroked Jia She's chest, and also looked out the door.

Jin Cai smiled and said: "It's amazing, the second master is eight! Uncle Xu is Xie Yuan, and Uncle Li is No.4!"

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were taken aback, and they both went to see Jia Lian, thinking how could Jia Lian also be among the best in the exam?It really is unreasonable!

Jia Lian knew that it wasn't that he was too good, it was that other people in Handan stumbled.

"When the list came out, many people said that it was because of the second master that he lost his name this time. It is said that Xuezheng has spoken. In the spring of the next year, people don't have to bring dry food in. Now I am afraid that this time will happen again. The Linggong Academy prepares hot meals, hot dishes and hot soup to serve the candidates." Jin Cai smiled and said some interesting things about watching the rankings.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhu didn't bother to listen. After asking Jia's mother for instructions, they ordered people to hand out rewards, and sent people to Xu's and Li's houses to congratulate them; Filial piety served with good wine and good food.

After hearing that men, women and children in the Zongli came to congratulate, they simply opened the Rongxi Hall. Jia's mother took Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng to drive over to receive congratulations from everyone in the Rongxi Hall.

Jia Lian was in high school, so he first went to the home of his mentor Ge Kui to thank Ge Kui, so he left the bustle of Jia Mu's side, and took two young men to Ge Kui's house, and when he arrived at Ge Kui's house, he saw Ge Kui He had been waiting in front of the door, so he took Ge Kui's hand and entered the main room of his house.

Ge Kui was very skeptical about Jia Lian's ranking at first, but he was relieved when Jia Lian told about the stomach troubles of many people in Qiuwei. Master, go over there to entertain people."

Jia Lian said with a smile, "Sir, tell me to hide for a while. It's full of people over there, chattering all over the place, and I can't hear what they are saying." A red hijab covered by a gray veil, with light yellow tassels sewn on the edge of the hijab, he smiled and said, "But sister Ge is going out of the cabinet?"

Ge Kui said with a smile: "I only talked about it in these two days, and I won't have time to tell the second master in the future."

"Which one is it?" Jia Lian laughed.

Ge Kui said: "It's not someone else, but Mr. Yan from Lixiangyuan. In this way, our family may be dependent on the second master."

Jia Lian repeatedly congratulated, and hurriedly said: "In the past, I was afraid that my husband would look down on me and left, but now I finally feel at ease."

Just as he was talking, Quan Xi came in and said, "Second Master, the eldest wife of the Zhen family has come to congratulate you."

"Just ask the old lady, the second wife, and the two older girls to accompany you. Why do you want to listen to me?" Jia Lian said angrily, reluctant to part with the cleanliness of Ge's house.

Quan Xi entered the door, and after a moment of surprise, he said: "Master Zhen's family just ordered the president of the Jinling Provincial Institute of Physical Education, and the old lady asked Sister Hu Po to say, "Second Master, please go and see me first, so please be courteous."

President?Jia Lian forgot some trivial matters about the Zhen family in the book, and was shocked by the word president at this time, and turned to look at Ge Kui: "Sir, what official name is this?"
