Let's say that after Chang Sheng dropped the teapot, he cursed Dai Quan in his heart, and went straight all the way to the Taishang Palace.

When he got outside the palace, he shouted the Supreme Emperor, and rushed in. Seeing the little eunuch pointing to the queen, he ran quickly again, and when he arrived in the small pavilion behind the palace, he saw the Supreme Emperor talking to a dowager, so he rushed to the palace. He took two steps forward and knelt outside the pavilion, shouting: "The emperor, it's terrible."

The Supreme Emperor was startled by him, and said angrily: "Such a big man is still so sloppy!"

"It's terrible." Chang Sheng said again.

The concubine was only in her early thirties, and she was in the prime of her life. She finally saw peonies blooming brightly. She invited the Supreme Emperor to enjoy the flowers, but she was disturbed by Chang Sheng. She was angry, but she was afraid of Chang Sheng's power. The honorable concubine also had to bear with it, so she persuaded with a smile: "Emperor Taishang, Eunuch Chang must have something important to go back and forth." Then, she whispered a witty word in Taishanghuang's ear, which made Taishanghuang laugh, and said Stepped back briskly.

"What happened?" The Supreme Emperor said coldly.

Chang Sheng took two steps on his knees, and when he arrived in front of the Supreme Emperor, he said tearfully, "The Supreme Emperor, our family has been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for decades, and we have worked hard without merit. The Lord transferred Xu Shining, the governor of Jiangsu, to Xu Shining. Your Excellency is entering the House of Internal Affairs."

The Supreme Emperor sneered contemptuously and said: "You are dreaming and confused. Since the previous dynasty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has ordered the internal supervisor to be in charge, and it is also easy to summon concubines from the harem. For no reason, why did you call Xu Shining here?"

"Your Majesty, our family personally asked Xu Shining's son-in-law Jia Lian, and Jia Lian told our family personally." Chang Sheng wiped his tears with his sleeve.

The Supreme Emperor was shocked, and asked for a long time: "Then Jia Lian, who was the one who picked him up at the Shenji Camp when he was out of the palace last time?"

"Exactly."

The Taishanghuang conjured up a handsome young man in his mind, and said to himself: "He is still smart, and he didn't hide it for his father-in-law."

"I also begged the Supreme Emperor to be the master. Before the imperial decree was issued, I hurriedly persuaded the Lord to change his mind. The House of Internal Affairs often has audiences with the empress and concubines. If foreign officials are allowed in, something unpleasant will come out of the palace..."

"Presumptuous! Xu Shining has already visited the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Dai Quan is taking me to see it." Chang Sheng thought of having a drink with Dai Quan yesterday, and his teeth itch with anger, "The Emperor, it's not too late..."

"Shut up, since Xu Shining has gone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what am I going to do to stop him? He was the governor of Jiangsu, do you think he would like to work in that eunuch's den?" The Supreme Emperor said angrily.

Chang Sheng tightly pursed his lips and dared not speak. He also knew that the Supreme Emperor was afraid of the Xu family and was very close to the Li, Yuan, and Fang families. "The Supreme Emperor, just let the House of Internal Affairs go out like this?"

The Supreme Emperor smiled, he didn't think about increasing income and reducing expenditure, he just felt that the emperor was trying to make things difficult for him, instead he asked Jia Lian, "How is Jia Lian with his father-in-law?"

Chang Sheng sneered and said: "The good is limited, the Supreme Emperor doesn't know, Jia Lian has been busy in the Shenji camp for half a year and has no home, and Xu Shining's wife gave birth to Jia Lian's wife and a daughter. It is expected that Weng and his son-in-law have been intimate these two days, waiting for Xu Shining Knowing what kind of situation his daughter is in, it will be interesting to see."

The Supreme Emperor was silent for a while, and then said to Chang Sheng: "Go and invite Xu Shining to come and talk."

Chang Sheng was stunned, and said with a smile: "The Supreme Emperor, Xu Shining has just met the saint, so I will call him now..."

"Go quickly." The Supreme Emperor urged.

Chang Sheng hurriedly smiled and agreed to go out, and when he got out of the palace gate, his old face drooped, secretly thinking that the Supreme Emperor must have tried to win over Xu Shining to fetch water from the emperor's bamboo basket, so he didn't ask the nimble little eunuch to go , I just went to the House of Internal Affairs by myself, and when I got to the alley in front of the House of Internal Affairs, I saw Xu Shining and Dai Quan walking towards the Hall of Martial Arts with square steps, huddled in the corner and waited for them to disappear, and then Quickly flashed into the House of Internal Affairs, saw the little eunuch guarding the door, and asked, "What did Mr. Xu read and what did he say?"

"Going back to Eunuch Xu, Mr. Xu didn't look at anything, he just walked around and heard that his father Xu Laoshangshu is in the cabinet, so he went with Eunuch Dai." The little eunuch replied unequivocally.

Chang Sheng nodded, remembering that Jia Lian didn't follow him, he asked again, "Where is the second master Lian?"

"Second Master Lian is talking to Brother Rong in the Punishment Department."

Chang Sheng didn't care about the sweat on his brow, so he rushed to the Department of Punishment. After entering the Department of Punishment, he quickly walked into a dark and damp room. Seeing Jia Lian standing in the middle of the room talking to Jia Rong, he stepped forward. Said: "Where can people enter this room, the second master Lian will follow me out to talk."

Jia Lian agreed, and then said to Jia Rong: "Remember what I told you, serve Eunuch Chang well, and you won't suffer."

Jia Rong repeatedly agreed.

Chang Sheng urged Jia Lian to come out, and when he came out, he complained repeatedly, saying, "Master Xu is here, where should we stand? Second Master Lian, tell the truth to our family, when did you know about this?" ?”

Jia Lian said: "You still ask me, I just came back from the suburbs yesterday."

Chang Sheng hurriedly sighed and said, "Our family has always been in contention with Dai Quan in the palace. You are wondering if this matter was caused by Dai Quan?"

"No need."

Chang Sheng said angrily: "It must be him. At that time our family wondered why he found our house, but now it seems that he has figured out how much our family has. It must be him playing tricks." Thinking that if Xu Shining finds out something about the account, his old life will not be saved, so while taking Jia Lian out, he tentatively said: "Second Master Lian, please tell our family, Master Xu, come in. Are you going to be the first to take the knife on our family?"

Jia Lian whispered: "I want to tell you the truth, so I can only tell you that you are not alone, my father-in-law's family is also embarrassed about this. Who wants to offend others if they have nothing to do?"

Chang Sheng said yes again and again, feeling a little more at ease, secretly thinking that it would be good for Xu Shining to know the pros and cons of it, so he said to Jia Lian: "The Supreme Emperor invites you to go over and talk."

"Really?" Jia Lian hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and then declined, "I didn't think about face-to-face today, and some clothes are not neat, so I'm gone." Then he said, "Why don't I stay here, and my father-in-law asks the Supreme Emperor to be safe for me. ?" He secretly tugged at Chang Sheng's sleeve, "Please say a few more nice words, father-in-law."

Chang Sheng was planning in his mind, and felt that if Xu Shining couldn't be stopped from entering the House of Internal Affairs, it would be better if he could make friends with Xu Shining's son-in-law and save his wealth, so he made a guarantee and went to the Taishang Palace again.

Because Xu Shining was not called, the Supreme Emperor looked very disdainful, and when Chang Sheng said, "Then Jia Lian made an excuse to talk to Jia Rong of the Ningguo Mansion and waited to see our family, and told our family that the Xu family was also afraid of offending the Supreme Emperor." Then he calmed down, and felt that Jia Lian was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he asked, "Did you see that Jia Lian was very close to Prince Zhongshun's mansion during the outing that day?"

Chang Sheng hurriedly said: "Then Jia Lian was promoted by the Zhongshun Palace." He took two steps forward and whispered: "Our family heard that when Jia Lian took the imperial examination, some disciples of the Zhongshun Palace urged the Imperial College to sacrifice wine. Because no one dared to stop them, they read the test papers before copying them."

"Nonsense! The Guozijian offering wine..." It took a long time for the Supreme Emperor to remember Li Shouzhong's name, and cursed again: "It's because Li Shouzhong has always followed the rules, how dare he do this?"

"Being teased by others, your forehead gets hot, what can't you do?" Chang Sheng tried his best to show off his ability to the Supreme Emperor, and then said softly: "It is said that Jia Lian answered the question very well, but he lost his name to Sun Shan. The Supreme Emperor knows how to answer something?"

"what happened?"

"It was Prince Zhongshun who moved inside."

"Oh? Isn't Jia Lian one of his people?" The Supreme Emperor was confused.

Chang Sheng said with a smile: "After Jia Lian lost his name to Sun Shan, he knew the ability of Zhongshun Wangfu, so don't obediently go over and be filial."

The Supreme Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "In this way, Jia Lian has an old enmity with Prince Zhongshun." Although he still valued Prince Zhongshun, but at that moment, Prince Zhongshun stretched out his hand to the prince, which already made him jealous So he said to Chang Sheng: "Give Jia Lian the tea bowl I use every day, and tell him why he is named Luosun Shan."

"What does the Supreme Emperor mean?" Chang Sheng asked tremblingly, he just wanted to show off his "talent", and absolutely didn't want to offend the Zhongshun Palace.

The Supreme Emperor said: "What I mean, you still don't understand? You have to let Jia Lian know who he should respect the most. Tell him to use my tea bowl and know whose meal he is eating."

"Yes." Chang Sheng hurriedly agreed, quickly found the box, and sent Jia Lian the white jade bowl that the Supreme Emperor used every day.

When Jia Lian received the bowl, he wondered why anyone would think that giving away their daily necessities was a reward?Holding the bowl, he went to the cabinet. Hearing that Xu Shining and Xu Zhi'an had returned home, he read the mansion newspaper, left the palace, went to Xu's house to pick up Xu Qingheng, and entered the Rongguo Mansion to send Xu Qingheng back home. Going across the courtyard in the east, I just entered the outer study, and saw Xue Pan was drunk and unconscious, and Baoyu stood beside Xue Pan in a small jacket and trousers, without any big clothes.

Jia Lian pushed Baoyu on the back and asked him, "What's going on?"

Baoyu quickly pointed to Xue Pan and said, "Brother Xue hugged me like a phoenix girl when he was drunk."

Thinking of Xue Pan's unscrupulous temperament, Jia Lian quickly asked, "I just hugged you, or what?" I don't know if Baoyu has tried it.

Baoyu blushed, and it was hard to tell Jia Lian about Xue Pan's drunken ugliness. Because he also drank two glasses of wine, his cheeks flushed and he said, "I'm going to say hello to the old lady." Go straight out.

Jia Lian ignored him, left Xue Pan, and went to the north room to look at the white jade bowl of the Supreme Emperor, and suddenly remembered that it was time to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony, so he stood up and walked east across the courtyard.

In the east courtyard, Xu Qingheng pointed to the south room with some embarrassment and said, "I chose the room over there as a study."

Jia Lian glanced at it from a distance.

Xu Qingheng asked cautiously again: "Where will you sleep tonight?"

"At your place first, I'll go back and sleep upstairs."

This answer was not satisfactory, Xu Qingheng didn't dare to force him to stay until dawn, and was about to ask him where the portrait he painted, when suddenly Wu'er ran in and said: "It's terrible, something happened in the police hall."

"What's the matter?" Jia Lian asked.

Wu'er hurriedly said: "Liuli saw that the flowers in Jinghuanzhai were blooming just right, so she went to cut the vase flowers for the old lady. Second master Bao came in drunk, and just called sister when he saw someone, Liuli saw that he was completely drunk, He was about to call Cuilu to help him back to the old lady's place to rest, but he hugged Liuli and babbled that Fairy Jing Huan had already promised Liuli to him, so he dragged Liuli into the room and returned it. Untie your pants."

Xu Qingheng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Liuli is so impatient, I'm afraid something serious will happen."

Wu'er said again: "Fortunately, Pearl went in in time."

"Then the pearl didn't come out?" Jia Lian laughed dumbly, thinking that Mrs. Wang was strict with Baoyu, and she was afraid that Baoyu would bump into Xue Pan today and mess around after drinking, so she was confused and wanted to try.

Wu'er hurriedly said: "She didn't dare to scream. Thanks to Liuli's righteousness, she broke free and called Quanfu and Quanxilai, and finally pulled Pearl out. Now Liuli and Zhenzhu are crying so much, It's all at the old lady's place."

"Then ask the old lady to deal with it. What are you calling us when you come to us in a hurry." Xu Qingheng thought that this matter had something to do with Baoyu, but it was better not to ignore it.

Wu'er hurriedly said: "We shouldn't care about it, but just now the second wife rushed over after hearing this, and begged the old lady to make the big thing smaller, and asked the old lady to give both the pearl and the colored glaze to Miss Yun. After two years, Yun The girl entered the door and took them to the garden on the east side. Pearl heard that and wept like tears, only saying that her brother and sister-in-law were still waiting for her to go home for reunion; Ma'am, just say that she was begged by the second master from the Lai family back then, she is considered our second master's person, how to deal with it depends on the second master and second grandmother."

Xu Qingheng thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I have a good place for the two of them." After speaking, he put Jia Lian's shoulders and asked: "Are you still leaving the house?"

"I'll go to the back building to write." Jia Lian said, and went out to the back.

Xu Qingheng stared at him and let out a soft breath.

Wu'er laughed and said, "Grandma and Second Master have reconciled, so we can rest assured."

"When did you worry about it?" Xu Qingheng walked out of the Dakuanyuan as he spoke, thinking on the way that the Jinghuanzhai was decorated by Jia Lian in a colorful and delicate way, so it's no wonder that Jia She and Baoyu both appeared there. After the incident, either lock it, or send others to live in it. Thinking about it, he entered the Rongxi hall, and when he went outside the upper room, he heard Baoyu talking non-stop.

Baoyu said: "What's going on? I was still in the illusion of Zhulan Baishi, green trees, clear streams, and exotic flowers and grasses. How could I open my eyes and be here with the old lady? Besides, Fairy Jinghuan is already Betrothed her to me."

Xu Qingheng opened the curtain and went in, secretly thinking that the Jinghuanzhai is Zhulan Baishi, green trees, clear streams, exotic flowers and plants.

Seeing Xu Qingheng coming in, Jia Mu sat on the couch and pointed to Liu Li and said: "She only said that she belongs to you, so you can deal with her—if something like this happens, I can't keep her by my side." From the corner of his eyes, he glanced into the green gauze closet, waiting to see what Shi Xiangyun, who had been silent all this time, would do; he also felt that Baoyu had molested both of her maidservants, causing a commotion, which really made her feel ashamed.

Xu Qingheng smiled and looked at Liuli without crying or smiling, and was about to speak when he listened to Baoyu.

"Sister-in-law, just reward her to me. I will not move a finger of her, and just offer her up like a fairy. Don't ask her to match a boy. How can those boys be worthy of her character and appearance?" Come on?" Baoyu heard too much that Mrs. Wang used "beautiful boy" to scare the maidservant, so she hurried to "save people".

Liuli said anxiously: "What is Second Master Bao keeping me for? Besides, no matter how good my character and appearance are, I'm still just a girl. Okay, I'm all from Second Master and Second Grandma, and Second Master Bao doesn't care about it." Secretly said Su Rili looked so gentle and irritating, why did he become a different person after drinking too much cat urine?He was also afraid that Xu Qingheng was in a hurry, and he really turned her into a kid for a trivial matter, so he looked at Xu Qingheng with tears in his eyes.

Xu Qingheng thought with a smile and said: "Why don't you let her out, give her a free body, and then send a letter to Grandma Xue's family, telling her to go with Grandma Xue. The old lady doesn't know, Grandma Xue is amazing, Everyone says that she is the heroine of the women's middle school. She manages the affairs of Zhou and Wu's provincial courts. She has thousands of people under her command and she thinks she is understaffed. Seeing that Hongyu is eloquent and will come again, so to speak, I begged for Hongyu, and asked me to recommend a few capable people, saying that I will follow her to see the queen in Qianxiang country in the future, why not recommend Liuli? She Although she has a quick temper and can't speak, she is very good at needlework, and the things she makes can be put on the table, and it is the best tribute to the queen."

Baoyu hurriedly shouted: "I can't, I can't. Brother Xue just said that Miss Feng is now accompanying the men to the table to eat wine."

Sitting on the couch, Jiamu just wanted to smooth over the matter quickly, so she asked Liuli, "What do you think?"

Liuli was also frightened by Baoyu's words, and secretly thought that Grandma Xue was so courageous. Although she was not conceited, she knew that she was the most beautiful girl among the girls, and there was no guarantee that Grandma Xue would not force her to go with the men drink wine.

"Second Master Bao is scaring you. You see, Hongyu followed, and Lin Zhixiao and his wife went to send people off happily. When they came back, they said that Hongyu was highly regarded. As soon as they entered the door, they took full control of the Xue family's relationship. In her hands, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, when the Xue family will send someone to give someone what gift, let her assign. The housekeeper is willing to send his daughter, but you dare not?" Xu Qingheng said.

Yuanyang hurriedly testified and said: "Grandma Xue is serious about running business, and it's a big deal. How can it be as bad as Baoyu said? If you are worried, you can simply accept Lin Zhixiao as your godfather, and keep Xiaohong as a company like this. What are you afraid of?"

Liuli was said to be tempted, and then thought that the left and right should get free first and then go to Grandma Xue. If one is not good, she would just pack up and leave, so she quickly thanked her and said, "Let the old lady and grandma take care of you."

"Then let's do that, tell Yuanyang to clean up, first take you to Lin Zhixiao's house, and then ask Lin Zhixiao to take you to Grandma Xue's." Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the tear-like pearl again, and asked She: "Are you really going home?"

Pearl wiped her tears, thinking that her appearance is not as good as Liuli's needlework, her tongue is not as good as that of ruby, and she is full of delicacy in her heart. She was born to Wang Xifeng, she already has a flat child, and she may not be able to succeed if she goes away. If she cries more pitifully, she will gain more She fled to Jinling for her elder brother and sister-in-law, who had already clinging to the Jia family and started a business. She wept bitterly and said, "My sister-in-law just wrote to say that my brother has found a marriage for me in Suzhou. Only two years later, when I was older, I begged the old lady to go out and get married. Now that something like this has happened, people outside may not be willing to ask for it after hearing about it.” As he spoke, tears fell down again.

"Then follow girl Yun." Mrs. Wang intentionally told Shi Xiangyun in the green gauze closet.

Shi Xiangyun finally couldn't bear it and said: "Old lady, then give her to me, I used to be friends with Pearl—"

"The mother in the family is not good. I'm afraid she won't survive for a few years. She gave birth to me. If she follows Miss Yun, she will never be filial in this life." Pearl cried again.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, secretly thinking that a shameless yellow-haired girl has picked on their second wife one by one.

Jia Mu didn't like Pearl's ignorant words very much. After all, she entered the master's house and had nothing to do with her biological parents. Xu Qingheng said: "If that's the case, let her go too, and send someone to take her home. Give more dowry, and tell the family her brother found for her not to talk too much."

"Yes." Xu Qingheng agreed.

Jia's mother said: "You can take the pearls and colored glazes now, and tell the people in the house to be more strict."

"Hey." Xu Qingheng agreed, asked Wu'er and Liu'er to help Zhuzhu and Liuli, and went out.

Baoyu stared blankly at Pearl going out, but didn't dare to speak. Seeing Shi Xiangyun coming out of the green gauze cabinet, he thought worriedly: I don't know what sister Yun thinks in her heart?If you see her going out, hurry up and follow her.

Jia's mother and others all went, so she sneered and said, "You have raised a good son, and you have molested my girl. If you run into Lian'er's girl, can this matter be good?"

Mrs. Wang said angrily, "It's all because he and Pan'er drank two glasses of wine too much, Pearl and Pearl have no manners, why did they go to Jing Huan Zhai for no reason?"

"Why are you pretending to be confused? The population in this mansion is small, and Lian'er is busy with business and doesn't come here often. The girls use Jinghuanzhai as a garden, what's the point?" Jiamu said defensively.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's the small population that makes the old lady treat those unseemly things as commonplace."

Mother Jia listened to the hidden words in Mrs. Wang's words, and waited quietly for her to continue.

"Young girl Yun will pass through the door in the next year. There are few houses on the east side, and the fronts are connected to the fronts. Where can I live? There are ten rooms and nine empty rooms on the left and right sides of Rongxi Hall. Why don't you ask the old lady to call the shots and ask Lian'er and his wife to excuse me?" Give Baoyu a courtyard? The old ladies on the left and right don’t want to part with Miss Yun, why don’t you just reward Baoyu and Girl Yun with Jing Huan Zhai?”

"Reward? You still think Rongguo Mansion is your site?"

Mrs. Wang said embarrassingly: "Zhu'er daughter-in-law is silent, she is already pregnant in May, and Yuanchun and Baoqin's master and servant are also pregnant. Seeing that the east side is crowded, there is really nothing to do. Ask the old lady."

Jia's mother remained silent, and asked for a long time, "Why don't you tell Yejun and his wife to move out?"

"...When they sent Tanchun into the palace, they used Yuanchun's self-discipline. If they move out and rent a yard, they won't be able to open the pot." Mrs. Wang was embarrassed, but her face was full of pride, and she said : "Your brother Lian was injured. It is said that it is difficult to have children. The Meng family gave birth, and brother Lian swore that it was not his child. The old lady always thinks about the future."

Jia Mu asked Mrs. Wang: "Look, how many years can I live with this old bone?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Why is the old lady saying that?"

Jiamu said with a smile: "I haven't had a few years to live. I don't care about the lintel or the ancestral hall. One day I enjoy good wine, food and entertainment, and I don't care about the rest."

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, and she was counting on Mother Jia to stand out for the Jia family, "The old lady can't do this..."

"Even though you have children in the east, no matter how many there are, you will support yourself. Take Baoyu back quickly." Jia Mu said impatiently.
