The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Jia Lian thought about it for a while, then put the matter aside for the time being, went out and got on the horse, and led the entourage to Xu Zhian's house.

It was getting dark on the road, and some people had violated the night ban and hurried on the road.When the people on the way were gone, only the footsteps of Jia Lian and his party remained on the street. After a long time, Zhao Tianliang, Zhao Tiandong and others heard Jia Lian's low sneer, not knowing why, so they drove forward and waited for his order. He drove the horse back again.

Jia Lian held the rein with one hand, and reached for the sachet on his waist with the other, caressing the psychic gem, wondering whether the Fairy Jinghuan would protect him this time to get promoted and get rich.

After thinking about it, he went to the door of Xu's house. Without using a post, Jia Lian entered the door and followed Xu's youngest son to Xu Zhian's inner study.

When he arrived at the door of the study, he saw brothers Xu Yuheng and Xu Yujue smilingly standing in front of the door waiting for him.

"My good fellow, you have offended King Beijing terribly! Although our family respects each other, we have nothing to do with him. Today, because of your business, he came here to talk to grandfather!" Xu Yuju jumped down the steps, three He jumped to Jia Lian's side in two steps, and the sapphire pendant on his waist collided with the white jade ring, making a clatter, as if the jade was shattered.

Xu Yuheng also took two steps forward. Although he also smiled, he was not as brisk as Xu Yujue, and said, "I only received your letter before, and only a few words in the letter were not understood. You are really sure." What?" Glancing at the two youngest children in the yard, he cupped his hands and asked Jia Lian to come in and talk.

Jia Lian went inward with Xu Yuzhen, and seeing that Xu Yuheng was still there, he said with a smile: "Won't the third brother go back and rest? I still hope that the third brother will eat well and drink well, and win the championship when the palace is right. .”

Xu Yuheng smiled confidently and said, "Why bring up that point again?" After finishing speaking, he accompanied Jia Lian into the room.

I saw an empty chair in the front of the room, and a black lacquer inlaid mother-of-pearl cloud and dragon pattern cover on the table next to the chair.Obviously only the distinguished guests go there.

Xu Zhi'an was not sitting upright, but was lazily sitting in the chair on the left with his head tilted.

The room is as bright as day, but people can clearly see Xu Zhian's slightly rolling eyes. If he still looks gentle and humble outside, now he seems to be showing his sharp edge, revealing his cunning and cunning. appearance.

"I heard from your uncle that you want to eradicate the confidant's serious troubles for the lord, and get rid of the governor of Guangdong. This is a good thing. Young people should be like this." Xu Zhi'an coughed, waved his hands casually, and told Jia Lian and the others to sit down.

At this moment when discussing important matters, Jia Lian didn't care about the red tape, and bowed his hands to Xu Zhi'an as a show of respect, then picked up the chair he had left and sat down, and said with a smile: "What the old lady said is true, I don't know that the Prince of Beijing just now Come here, is it because of your old man?"

Xu Zhi'an chuckled and said: "King Beijing is still young, even if he shows emotion and reason to the old man, he doesn't have much momentum, so don't bother. But how are you going to deal with the Governor of Guangdong? From the looks of it, you have to deal with him , no less than a mayfly shaking a tree."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Four or five years ago, it seemed that the younger generation wanted to shake the old grandmother at home. It was a dream come true. Now it is also possible to get what you want? It depends on man's effort. Don't worry, the old man, I will make my own plans for this matter. Now I beg the old man to look at me. , get a little closer to Prince Zhongshun, don't make him suspicious."

Xu Zhi'an nodded, pointed at Xu Yuheng and said, "For the sake of his and Bizhou's future, I dare not offend the Zhongshun Palace at this moment. Everyone knows that Chunwei is very strict. Can move hands and feet, let alone other things?" Because Jia Lian refused to elaborate, and felt that the method he wanted to use might not be the same method as dealing with Jiamu and Mrs. Wang, so he didn't ask further, and asked: "Do you want to use it?" Take Qingheng to Guangdong together?"

Jia Lian shook her head slightly, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid she will be left in Beijing to preside over the overall situation of the Rongguo Mansion."

Xu Yuheng was startled, and hurriedly said: "What kind of overall situation can she preside over? According to me, it's better to take her along."

"...According to Brother Lian's words, let Qingheng stay in Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion can't be left alone." Xu Zhi'an said.

Xu Yujun chimed in and said, "Grandfather, what can Qing Heng, a yellow-haired girl, do? The Jia family's affairs are in great chaos. There are the second house on the inside, and the Dongfu, Wang's, and Xue's families outside..."

"Is there any chaos in our family?" Xu Zhi'an sneered, knowing that Xu Yuheng and Xu Yujue were frightened and confused by Li Wanting's incident, and now they always act a little bit like children, and they are short-tempered.

Xu Yuheng and Xu Yujue were able to answer Xu Zhian confidently two years ago, but now they have no confidence at all when they hear him ask back like this.

Xu Zhi'an said solemnly: "Yu Heng turned around and told Qing Heng about this matter, and she can't let her make trouble about it. Her husband went out to make a fuss about his future, so she, a daughter, should take good care of her in-laws and take care of the housework. It's getting late, brother Lian After Yu Ji went to the study to rest, Yu Heng also went back to rest, tomorrow a good student will study for the imperial examination."

"Yes."

Jia Lian, Xu Yuheng, and Xu Yujue retreated from the room. Xu Yuhang bid farewell to Jia Lian and Xu Yujue first because he was going to tell Xu Qingheng about the matter.

Jia Lian followed Xu Yujue to Xu Yujue's inner study. As soon as he entered, he felt that his study room was different from before. Looking around, he found that those tender and erotic scripts were gone, and even the bed curtains and quilts were gone. Those delicate patterns.

Knowing that Xu Yujun had overkill, he was afraid of following in Xu Yuheng's footsteps, and now even the sewing girl's clerk could be spared, so he thought it was funny, so after washing, he rested on the arhat bed opposite Xu Yujun's bed.

A candle was flickering in the room, and the two of them went to bed without eating or talking.

Another autumn rain hit in the middle of the night, tick-tock, and the rain did not stop until almost dawn.Because of the rain, Jia Lian and Xu Yuheng got up a little late in the morning.

The two of them were eating after washing, when they suddenly heard a silver bell-like voice outside the curtain: "Has Second Master Lian eaten?"

Hearing the woman's voice, Xu Yujue said angrily, "Who let the woman in without seriousness?!"

Jia Lian picked out a plate of five-spice pickles with chopsticks, and when she saw Xu Yuju making a fuss, she laughed and said, "It must be that the little girl at the door changed people at meal time, and she came in when there was no one else."

As she spoke, she saw a 12-year-old girl without a skirt bowing her body tremblingly and said in a trembling voice, "I didn't see anyone at the door, so I came in by myself."

"Let's not take this as an example, what's the matter?" Xu Yuzhen frowned, fearing that his expression would be a little loose, and the little girl would mistake him for someone who could be seduced.

"The girl sent me to tell you that the flowers are from Jia Jiazhen's sister-in-law's house. As for other matters, just follow the orders of the second master Lian. She is a girl, so she doesn't have to worry about those things." The little maid said.

Jia Lian smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Understood." He waved the little maid to go, and asked Xu Yujun, "Why has Qingheng's temper changed, and now he doesn't care about it at all, 'just listen to me'. "

Xu Yuju was not in the mood to eat, so he took the tea bowl from the servant and rinsed his mouth and said, "She shouldn't be in charge of these things in the first place, but now several nuns are watching her."

Now that Xu Qingheng is "saving trouble", Jia Lian wondered whether she could manage the Rongguo Mansion after he left, and when he stayed, he had nothing to say to Xu Yujue, so he resigned, and ordered Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong to invite Xue on the way. Pan, Feng Ziying, and Chen Yejun came to Rongguo Mansion for a gathering.

When he returned to Rongguo Mansion by himself, he asked people to set up a banquet in the outer study room, put all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, Chinese and foreign delicacies on the banquet one by one, and brought a large wooden cup depicting Liangshan heroes, and sat quietly Waiting for guests in the study room.

After waiting for about half an hour, he heard the laughter of Xue Pan and Feng Ziying outside the house. Jia Lian rushed out to welcome Xue Pan, and saw Xue Pan smiling. It was two points weaker; Chen Yejun remained silent, as if he had thoughts on his heart; Feng Ziying was the only one, still laughing and scolding very freely.

Jia Lian thought that Feng Ziying was able to do this because of having a good father. If it was like Xue Pan who had no father, or if it was like Chen Yejun who was not valued by his father, he must also have thoughts.

"Why did Second Master Lian think of inviting us today?" Xue Pan strode up to Jia Lian, as if he was hiding a treasure, but he was afraid that people would know and couldn't help showing off, and asked in a low voice, "Second Brother Lian, is there Prince Zhongshun?" how?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Thank you very much for helping me, but don't do this kind of thing again in the future. I know you are loyal, but your family's money didn't fall from the sky, and you must never do this again in the future. "

Xue Pan boldly said: "What is that little money?" Seeing that Chen Yejun and Feng Ziying were puzzled, he pretended to push Jia Lian with his fists and said to Chen Yejun and Feng Ziying. : "Tell me, is the second elder brother out of touch? I just sent a few taels of silver to Zhongshun Palace for him, so it's worth it if he wants to say it?"

Both Chen Yejun and Feng Ziying knew that Xue Pan was really generous, but he was not tactful in dealing with the world, so they heard that he wanted to "show off" his generosity and loyalty, and laughed to himself that he didn't know how to put on airs. Flatter him two points.

The three of them opened the curtains and entered the study room. They first felt the scent of wine and coriander coming from the pavement, which made people salivate; and then looked at the table in the study room. On the table in the study room was Li Guang's white rosewood screen, which was supported by ivory frames. Holding a rare sword, even the jugs and wine glasses at the banquet are portrayed as heroic men who beat big insects fiercely or pulled willows upside down.

Xue Pan thought it was interesting, so he leaned over to watch Li Guang, who was walking through Yang at a hundred paces; Chen Yejun didn't know which hero he saw, and felt sad when he thought of his own situation.

Feng Ziying looked at all the furnishings in the room, and finally pointed at Jia Lian and said with a smile: "Second brother Lian is setting up a Hongmen banquet today, isn't it?"

The word "Hongmen Banquet" called Chen Yejun and Xue Pan came to their senses, and they all looked at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "It's the Hongmen Banquet. I wonder if the three of you have the guts to come and drink me a glass of wine?"
