The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Feng Ziying stepped over a crabapple-like round stool, sat directly at the table, and poured wine into Wu Song Dahu's cup with the jug in hand.

Chen Yejun said eccentrically: "Drink it as soon as you drink it, and I'm afraid that second brother, you will lose your military power with a glass of wine?" After sitting down without saying a word, he picked out Lin Chong's glass.

Feng Ziying saw that his posture was underappreciated and had a rift with Yuan Chun, so she poured wine for him with a jug.

"I'm not afraid of those." Xue Pan sat down with a smile on his face, "Let me pick out the handsome one." Just as he was about to pick out the most handsome one, he saw Feng Ziying holding a mane-like beard, which was extremely ugly. Li Kui's cup gave him wine, so he had to use it.

Seeing that the three of them were already seated, Jia Lian sat down too, and took a cup casually. When Feng Ziying brought him wine, he raised his glass first without looking at the one engraved on the cup.

Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Xue Pan raised their glasses one after another. After clinking glasses with Jia Lian, the four drank the wine in one gulp.

"What's the matter?" Chen Yejun lowered his head slightly and asked in a muffled voice, took the jug from Feng Ziying's hand, stood up and refilled the glasses of the four of them.

Jia Lian pointed at Chen Yejun with a silver three-inlaid coral chopsticks, "You must think that there is no room for you in the Shenji Camp. It is used as a guard of honor, how can it be used at other times? It has been decades, and there are many official positions in the camp. Your father and your brothers have taken all the positions that are beneficial to show their faces in the Shenji camp. If you are As the son of the governor of Shenjiying, it is difficult to gain a foothold in it."

Chen Yejun was caught by Jia Lian's words, he clinked a glass with Jia Lian, drank the wine sullenly, and then said: "Before, I saw that my marriage could not be my own decision, so I was sold out like that. How can it be fun? I thought I was doing it once, and I would stand out and show people, who knows... I was exhausted in the barracks, and I didn't have to talk about it; when I got home... the Zhen family has already spent the first half of the year. I don’t know if your elder sister has been going back and forth with the Zhen family behind my back."

Xue Pan was glad that he and Wang Xifeng and his wife were of the same heart, and felt sorry for Chen Yejun and his wife, so he patted him on the shoulder and was taken aback when he saw Jia Lian's chopsticks pointing at him again.

"You are not the one who can sit back and relax. According to me, Aunt Xue, Sister Xue or the eldest sister must have taught you something behind your back, otherwise you would not have intentionally come to point out and give me a gift."

"Second brother Lian, brother, I am..." Xue Pan hurried to distinguish, got up suddenly and poured out the cup, his clothes were soaked.

Feng Ziying hurriedly held him down, shook her head slightly to signal him to be calm and listen to what Jia Lian had to say.

Jia Lian withdrew his hand, wrapped his fingers around the gold chain at the end of the coral chopsticks, and said with a smile, "You don't have to tell. If I hated you as a philistine, I wouldn't say it. I know it must be your family who told you to use it in the future." There are many places where you go to Lian'er, don't be reckless when you see Lian'er, say something nice to him', that's why you are not as comfortable and casual in front of me as before."

Xue Pan coughed, as if he recognized it.

In the past, he was an equal brother, so he was naturally unscrupulous in his speech; now in the palace, apart from his nominal name, Wang Ziteng is useless, from Aunt Xue to Ping'er, no one does not give him repeated orders to ask him to be more polite when he sees Jia Lian. Then, when he saw Jia Lian, he felt that he was two points shorter in his heart.

"Then what about me?" Feng Ziying looked at Jia Lian with a smile on her face.

"You?" Jia Lian paused, pointed at Feng Ziying with chopsticks and said with a smile: "Although you seem to have no troubles, the troubles are the biggest. If people in the world only think about tea and food, they can live happily. They are like ants, but they feel satisfied after drinking and eating; if they think about the common people in the world every day, even if they are well-clothed and well-fed, they will surely have trouble sleeping and eating. The old general Feng is useless, he can only be Feng Tang and Li Guangzhi every day Sigh, thinking about it, you, a filial son, would not be happy to follow him. Besides, bandits and bandits are coming frequently in the coastal area, thinking about it, you can't wait to ask the imperial court to take action."

Feng Ziying shook her head and sighed: "The two lords in the imperial court only know about 'fighting between dragons and tigers', but they don't bother to deal with the young people overseas. It's really hard to watch! Now those bandits are still weak. After two years, They have robbed us and grown stronger, and it will be difficult to deal with them!"

Jia Lian nodded, Tanchun was growing up day by day, and when she reached the age where she could marry Haijiang far away, Haijiang would be hard to deal with.

"Ouch!" Xue Pan suddenly stood up again, slammed his hips heavily on the table, rubbed his hips and screamed, "Ouch!" Is the second elder brother going to make trouble in Liangshan? Brother, I have seniors and younger ones, so I must not go with the second elder brother Lian!"

"Nonsense! Sit down quickly." Chen Yejun laughed back angrily, and stretched out his hand to protect his own cup. Seeing that Xue Pan was dumbfounded and wanted to say that he had a girl who was not married, he pulled him hard again.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I just want to go to the beam, where can I gather hundreds of good men? There is a saying that a scholar rebelled and failed in ten years, so I didn't say these words to Xu Shangshu and my sworn brothers. I'm just telling you. After this is accomplished, the Shenji Camp will definitely be regarded as the most important thing by the emperor. At that time, those who are capable will win, and Yejun will definitely stand out. In the future, we can rely on our own ability to do business, and no longer have to rely on others; taking advantage of the rampant thieves who are not as strong as our soldiers, we can pre-emptively eradicate them completely. Old General Feng's long-cherished wish can also be fulfilled, and it is no problem to be named a marquis and worship a minister. down."

"My old man is not asking for the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, but not to see the rampant foreign enemies." Feng Ziying laughed.

Chen Yejun frowned and asked, "What method are you talking about?"

Jia Lian said: "Let me ask you, why is the magical machine in my warehouse rotten? The muskets in each house are rotten. After wiping, only two or three guns can be used by chance?"

Chen Yejun said: "Of course it's because it's useless. I have a strong army and a strong horse. Although some young people come to commit crimes beyond their limits, a few swords are enough to deal with them."

"Because it is useless, it is rotten. The two masters don't pay attention to the Shenjiying. If you want the two masters to see the Shenjiying, do you want to make it useful?"

Feng Ziying turned the cup in her hand, her eyelids kept twitching, and said for a long time what Chen Yejun dared not say, "Second brother Lian means that because the weapons of the thieves are not good, our court will not be willing to use muskets. It takes a lot of effort; if the imperial court is to value muskets, must first the bandits have excellent weapons?"

"Cooperate with the enemy?" Xue Pan opened his eyes wide.

Chen Yejun and Feng Ziying were startled, and quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "You and I don't have the guts to collaborate with the enemy. What's more, if you give them weapons, what if you raise tigers for trouble? This kind of thing is not easy to try."

"...What does the second brother Lian mean?" Chen Yejun turned his head, looking at the masculine furnishings in the room, his heart kept pounding.

"There is no turning back on this matter. If you leave my study and regret it, you will be sorry to other people. In this life, you will be enemies with other people, that is, you will be enemies with me-to tell the truth, my academician, Qiu Wei To be able to pass is because of today's secret instruction; what is said today is also today's acquiesce. The three of you want to get away at this time, just go; when I make my words clear, there is no room for repentance." Jia Lian cupped his hands towards the palace. , looking at Feng Ziying and the others without pretense.

Chen Yejun, Feng Ziying, and Xue Pan were all stunned. Jia Lian's threatening words were not so bad. Hearing that the courtyard examination and Qiu Wei were ordered by the present, they couldn't help saying: "So that's the case, no wonder he hasn't studied for a few years. Books can easily surpass those who have studied hard for many years in the poor window of others, so it turns out that someone promoted them in front of them.

"Then the second elder brother, Chunwei, is it..." Feng Ziying asked hesitantly.

"This matter has its own arrangements today. The three of you don't care about it. You can only think about whether you want to work with me now. Working together at this time, we will share weal and woe throughout our lives, and we will advance and retreat together." Jia Lian said loudly and authentically.

Xue Pan froze on the spot; Chen Yejun's expression changed, he got up and was about to go out, then hesitated, and turned around the room with his hands behind his back; Feng Ziying ate his wine with a tight frown.

The three of them each had their own calculations in their minds, and because Jia Lian said something serious, the three of them did not dare to make decisions based on their past tempers and just relying on loyalty.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Yejun watched as he was about to leave the room, put his hands on the door, stomped his feet suddenly, walked back in a smooth manner, straddled the plum blossom stool, and said dejectedly: "Let's go!" Forget it! Leaving second brother Lian aside, who is willing to discuss matters with me seriously? If I miss this time, I may spend my whole life in a muddle! Damn, I will listen to second brother Lian this time! Anyway, second brother Lian and I are the same My brother is brother-in-law and brother-in-law, so it's hard to get rid of it! If you don't rely on the second brother Lian, do you have to rely on those relatives who sold me for a few dollars for my mother-in-law?"

Xue Pan was still stupidly dazed, and was pushed by Chen Yejun before he showed his loyalty confusedly: "That is to say, in today's world, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, everyone just eats, drinks and has fun, who is willing to help me, a worthless person? If you tell me, just say it - I listen to the second brother, and the second brother listens to the present, and I also listen to the present!"

Jia Lian thought about Chen Yejun and Xue Pan's next decision after weighing the pros and cons, so he went to see Feng Ziying again.

Feng Ziying said with a dispensable smile: "Second Brother Lian wants to say something, just say it. Although our Feng family is not so good as to engrave the four characters of 'serving the country with all sincerity' on our backs, but if it doesn't bring disaster to the country and the people, it can attract people. The Supreme Emperor, let's put aside the court disputes for the time being, and help a few brothers to flourish, so why not do it?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "you are really refreshing! What I want to say now is that Pan'er gives money, Yejun gives firearms, and Ziying gives people. There are many servants in Pan'er's family, and some of them have gone to sea, so they fight overseas. Under the guise of a foreign envoy, he begged the governor of Guangdong to buy firearms for Shenjiying with a large amount of money; the governor of Guangdong may not agree, and at this time he will use people in Jiayu Village in Jinling. If you want to have a good relationship with Zhongshun Wangfu and Beijing Wangfu at the same time, you can make a fuss between them, so that both of them think that Zhongshun Wangfu instructed them to sell firearms to overseas countries for money; Tell Jia Yucun to do it; when Jia Yucun quietly goes to Shenjiying to buy firearms, Yejun doesn't have to handle them directly, but you have been in Shenjiying for a while, which one of the camp is the most greedy and which is the most lawless? You just decide which one to deal with—these people are all moths that will be cleared out of the Shenji camp in the future; after Jia Yucun buys firearms, the firearms will be handed over to the servants of the Feng family. The Feng family is a family of military generals. It is much stronger. These servants pretended to be bandits with the most powerful firearms in the dynasty. The merchant ships of the Xue family saw through the wolfish ambitions of the "thieves" and lost millions of wealth. In this way, it would also shock the government and the public. The court found the bandit muskets Naturally, we should pay attention to Shenjiying, this is the time for Yejun to become prosperous; Pan'er gave up millions of wealth for righteousness, and won the imperial court's award. In the future, you don't have to look at people's eyes when you do business; With such power, and determined to send troops while it is still in its infancy, this is the time for the Feng family and his son to make contributions. It would be a pity not to do such a good thing that has been achieved in one fell swoop."

There is nothing wrong with what Jia Lian said, Chen Yejun was stunned, he could understand what he said, but he felt that the point of the finger seemed to be directed at three people, and he said: "... Could it be the three people, Lord Zhongshun, Governor of Guangdong, and Jia Yucun?" Offended the second brother?" Since he was told first, he naturally wanted to find a way to get his father and brother out of the matter of Shenjiying.

"It's all about eating the king's salary, and taking care of the king's worries." Jia Lian cupped his hands towards the palace again.

"Is it the current order?" Feng Ziying asked in a low voice, and then said: "It's easy to say, but which one is easy to fool, the governor of Guangdong or Jia Yucun?"

"If it was easy, wouldn't everyone be promoted and get rich?" Jia Lian asked rhetorically.

Xue Pan smiled and said, "If that's the case, I can really be promoted!" This matter is of great importance, and his brows can't help but frown again.

"Every step of this matter is very difficult. We have to consider the priorities everywhere. There is a possibility of stealing chickens and losing money everywhere. Ziying can go home and tell the old general, but Yejun and Pan'er can only do it. The words are stuck in my stomach." Jia Lian said again.

Feng Ziying, Xue Pan, and Chen Yejun all thought that this plan was made today, and they felt bitter, but Jia Lian had already said the ugly thing before, and this matter was related to the present, so how could they be allowed to go back on their word?

Feng Ziying stood up silently, poured wine for Jia Lian, Chen Yejun, and Xue Pan with the jug, and said with a glass: "Let's gamble once! Otherwise, with our abilities and the current world, we will Apart from spending money to buy an idle official to spend time and drink, what else can you do to be respected?"

What Feng Ziying said was impassioned, Xue Pan didn't have time to think about it, so he also raised his wine glass. Chen Yejun thought about it for a while, he had the least influence on whether this matter would succeed or not, so he also raised his wine glass.

Jia Lian stood up, clinked glasses with the three of them, raised his head and drank the wine.

"Hey, why did the second brother take the cup of the prodigal son Yanqing? Is it possible to be a prodigal son in the future?" Xue Pan drank the wine, feeling impassioned in his heart, suddenly saw the cup in Jia Lian's hand, and couldn't help laughing.

Jia Lian glanced down, and before he could say anything, Feng Ziying joked, "What do you know, you bastard, Lian's second brother has both sex and righteousness!"

"Bah, if you don't talk about both talent and appearance, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Jia Lian spat, scolding Quanfu for not having the eyesight to bring him the cup of Jiyu.
