The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

"Yes." Dai Quan bowed his body, tried his best to hide the smile on his lips, the queen and the Ji family were tied together, and waited to see how the two families would get along after the Zhen family was destroyed.

Shui Mu didn't see the smile on Dai Quan's mouth, stared at the scarlet spot on the memorial in a daze, and said after a long time: "Order, keep a close eye on Zhongshun Prince's Mansion and Jiangnan Zhen's House, if there is any disturbance in these two families, immediately Come report."

"Yes." Seeing that Shui Mu no longer gave orders, Dai Quan slowly withdrew to deliver the decree.

When these two imperial decrees were passed on, the empress, Wu Guifei, and Ji Huifei were covered in cold sweat, they had no choice but to accept the decree to thank each other, and they would inevitably look at each other when they met again.

So in April, Mrs. Zhen's family took the third girl to the capital, and seeing that the matter had settled down, she greeted relatives everywhere, and hurried back to Jiangnan in early May.

As soon as the Zhen family left, the palace sent a letter saying that the Zhen family had sent a large sum of money to Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

When Shui Mu heard the news, he remembered that Dai Quan said years ago that Prince Zhongshun got a lot of money from Zhou and Wu, so he wondered why Prince Zhongshun was so eager to seize the large sum of money?He also asked Prince Zhongshun's latest actions, and heard someone say, "Prince Zhongshun has been going to Qingxu Temple every now and then since last year."

"Is it the Taoist temple where the immortal is?" Shui Mu asked.

"Return to the Lord, that's right."

"Who did he meet in that temple?"

"Returning to the lord, there are many official disciples who come and go in Qingxu Temple, and it is impossible to find out which one he has met—whether he is close or not, when he enters a Taoist temple, he always wants to exchange a few words."

"There's no one special?"

"There is one person who is very strange. This is Fu Cairen's elder brother Tongpan Fu Shi in the palace. From the beginning of the first month, Fu Shi will either send people to wander outside the Qingxu Temple, or go there in person."

"Fu Shi?" Shui Mu frowned slightly, and said with a sneer: "You can tell from the name that he is an unknown person. He must be looking for an opportunity to flatter the loyal prince. Find a reason and send him far away, lest I forget to deal with him later. .”

"Yes."

After the subordinates got the order, they went to investigate immediately.However, within three or two days, several charges of Fu Shi's embezzlement and perversion of the law were found out.

Fu Shi didn't know where he learned that someone was investigating him, and he was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, so before he was arrested, he found out that Jia Lian was visiting Zhou's family home, and rushed over in a panic. When he arrived at the gate of Zhou's house, he reported his name. After a long time, Zhao Tianliang came out and led him to Zhou's house.

Fu Shi was flustered, so he walked all the way without looking at the scenery, and waited to hear Zhao Tianliang say: "Masters are all ahead." Then he raised his head, who knew that looking at it, it was like entering a fairyland. A clump of stream fell high, throwing out layers and layers of continuous water mist, and the water mist enveloped the red lotus swaying with the wind. At a glance, people think that there are gods on the mountain, and the water mist There is a real dragon hidden in it.

"How do you see the view of Master Zhou's house?" Jia Lian asked Fu Shi, putting his hand on the white jade railing by the pool.

Fu Shi came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "This scenery is completely natural, it is really ingenious."

Mr. Zhou stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Too much, too much." Gritting his teeth secretly, he thought that he would avenge his deceased disciples one day.

"What do you want me to do?" Jia Lian had named Wu Jiayuan's son before, but today he racked his brains and came up with a few pairs for the Zhou family. He couldn't handle it any longer. When he saw Fu Shi coming, he led him say.

Fu Shi almost burst into tears, and hurriedly said: "Teacher, the students have something to say to the teacher."

Jia Lian then cupped his hands to Master Zhou and said, "Jia Lian will take my leave first."

"Please."

Jia Lian walked down the steps slowly, and suddenly heard a fluttering sound in the lotus pond. It turned out that a crane hiding under the lotus leaves suddenly spread its wings and flew high.He heard the group of disciples around Mr. Zhou praise the lotus pond as a fairyland, and he thought that the lotus pond was very strange, and he didn't know where the Zhou family found the red lotus, which was so red that it dazzled the eyes.Walking to Fu Shi's side, he led him a few steps forward, and when he saw the young man from the Zhou family being dismissed, he asked him, "What's the rush?" As he asked, he looked at the flowers and plants on both sides, thinking What good points can be copied to his small garden.

Fu Shi hurriedly clasped his fists secretly, said with a mournful face, "Teacher, for some reason, someone suddenly checked on the students."

"Who? If it's an ordinary person, I'm confident that no one will dare to touch you." Jia Lian swore.

Fu Shi hurriedly said: "I don't know who it is. He came to see the teacher when he heard the wind and grass. Please ask the teacher to go around and inquire for the students."

Jia Lian sneered and said, "Don't you believe me? As I said, ordinary people can't touch you, and no one dares to touch you." Suddenly he stopped and asked him, "What happened to your sister in the palace?"

"Students don't dare to send someone to inquire after listening to the teacher's words..." Fu Shi felt guilty when Jia Lian saw it, so he had to say, "Since the Lord met the real Buddha, Miss Xue, he hasn't been to my sister for a long time."

Jia Lian narrowed her eyes and said with a sneer, "Think about it again, what have you done behind my back?"

Fu Shi's scalp was numb, he hesitated for a long time, and then said: "The student cares about my sister, and only sent someone to find an eunuch to inquire twice."

Jia Lian frowned and said, "What you said is nothing. If you think about it again, what else is there?"

Fu Shi racked his brains, only remembering the trivial things in the yamen, and suddenly remembered that he went to Qingxu Temple twice in three days, so he didn't dare to tell Jia Lian, and hurriedly said: "There is nothing else."

"That's weird. Miss Xue's family cherishes her fame, and she will definitely not cross the bottom line before she is formally named concubine. She is also afraid that the lord will not be able to restrain her old people who want to capture her, and will lead the lord to Fu Cairen That's 'look at plum blossoms to quench thirst'. Now the Lord refuses to go to your sister's place... Could it be, what trouble did your sister cause?" Jia Lian's voice suddenly became serious.

There is a flower garden of colorful peonies beside him, but Fu Shi didn't care to take a second look. He looked at Jia Lian with his eyes straight, and tremblingly thought about the things he committed. It must be a very serious crime.

"I beg the teacher to show the students a clear path." Nearly in a desperate situation, Fu Shi's heart fell, thinking that if Jia Lian couldn't save him, he might as well take the words he heard from Chen Yejun and go to Zhongshun Palace.

"Come to Zhongshun Palace."

Fu Shi's eyes widened suddenly, and because of a guilty conscience, he asked tentatively: "The teacher means..."

"Follow me to Prince Zhongshun's mansion," Jia Lian said.

Fu Shideng said gratefully, "Thank you teacher."

"You don't need to say anything, just follow me." Jia Lian patted Fu Shi on the shoulder, comforted him, and led Fu Shi to the door.

After going around and going out of the fairyland-like garden of the Zhou family, the two of them went to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion against the warm mid-spring wind.

Following a young man to the front hall, Jia Lian saw Fu Shi staring at the incense burner in the hall in a daze, so he gave him a push.

Fu Shi came to his senses and hurriedly lowered his head and stood still.

Not long after, Prince Zhongshun came out, but Jiang Yuhan came out very gracefully in Taoist robes.

Jiang Yuhan glanced at Fu Shi, sneered and said, "Are you here to plead guilty?"

The second monk Fu Shizhang couldn't figure it out. If he didn't know that Jiang Yuhan was just an actress, he would have almost knelt down for him.

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "I don't know what this evil animal has committed?"

Seeing Jia Lian addressing Fu Shi's evil animal in a serious manner, Jiang Yuhan suppressed a smile, glanced at Fu Shi coldly, and said with a sneer, "Second Lord Lian doesn't know, whoever assigned this evil animal to spy on us all day long outside the Qingxu Temple. The whereabouts of the lord." The lord Zhongshun was worried about finding a safe place to hold the "hero" meeting, so he fell in love with Qingxu Temple, and Fu Shi came to disrupt the situation, and it seemed that Fu Shi attracted other curious people. This is called Zhongshun How can the prince not hate it.

Jia Lian immediately glared at Fu Shi when he heard this, and said with a sneer, "You actually did this? Who appointed you? Could it be that you did this stupid thing behind my back in order to win the favor of your sister?"

Fu Shi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Student, how dare you..." For a while, he couldn't explain his curiosity about picking up mistakes, and he was afraid that Jia Lian would suspect him if he said too much, so he was speechless and didn't know what to say, so he had to beg for mercy repeatedly. : "Now the superiors want to investigate me, I beg this little brother to speak kindly to the prince for me."

"It's better to say something good, the prince said he would put you to death." Jiang Yuhan suppressed a smile and dropped a cruel word, and gave Jia Lian a wink, "Since ancient times, when students commit crimes, the teacher is guilty of the same crime. Second Master Lian, go and apologize to the prince, right? After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and asked Jia Lian to talk to Prince Zhongshun.

Fu Shi stayed alone in the hall, with his head down, not daring to look around, secretly hoping that Jia Lian would be able to persuade Prince Zhongshun.

After a long time of burning incense, Jia Lian came out with a gloomy face.

Fu Shi asked Jia Lian helplessly: "Teacher, what does the prince say?"

"You've cut off your back, and you still ask me?" Jia Lian sneered, and went out.

Fu Shi hurriedly followed, followed Jia Lian out the door, and begged a few more times.

At this point, Jia Lian said: "It took me a lot of effort before the prince agreed to save your life. Let me advise you, keep the green hills, and you will not be afraid of no firewood. You go home, and others will punish you. You Just don't admit it. Wait for me to clear it up for you, go out of Beijing to avoid the limelight, and come back in two years."

"Can you come back in two years?"

"Do you know Jia Yucun? He was convicted first, and when the emperor pardons him, there will be someone above him, so he can become an official again? The most important thing is to save his life now."

Fu Shi began to make calculations in his heart, secretly thinking that the Zhongshun Palace is probably behind the scenes, if he betrays Jia Lian, the Zhongshun Palace will not spare him, and it will be difficult to turn over again; it is better to listen to Jia Lian and leave a green hill Now, don't be afraid of running out of firewood.So he repeatedly begged Jia Lian to deal with him.

Jia Lian agreed, and first sent Fu Shi home to wait, and then went to Xu Yuheng's place to inquire.After learning that Fu Shi's lawsuit fell into Xu Yuheng's hands, he was immediately relieved and told Fu Shi about it.

Fu Shi heard that it was Jia Lian's sworn brother who presided over the trial, and he also felt that Xu Yuheng would be lenient. When he learned in June that he was only sent to a desolate place to serve as an official to redeem his sins, he felt that Jia Lian's intercession was the only way to achieve this result, so Before the distribution, he came to Rongguo Mansion to thank Jia Lian, and then left the capital with others.

As soon as Fu Shi left, Jia Lian learned from Jiang Yuhan that Prince Zhongshun's mansion said that Fu Shi would never return to the capital, so he became more relieved.

In the small garden of Charong State Mansion, peonies, peonies, and cymbidiums are in full bloom, and there are birds of various colors flying with wings, and there are peaches, plums, apricots and other fruits hanging on the branches.

Jia Lian leisurely led a yellow dog and eight pugs around the garden, occasionally throwing a stick into the flowers and calling the dogs to fight for it.I was watching the yellow dog lying in a cluster of roses crying and rolling, and I heard the rustling of the skirts around me. Seeing that it was Yingchun leading a Xichun with a smile, he said with a smile: "Where are your two sister-in-laws? Why? Didn't you see them come to visit the garden?"

Xichun said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is looking for a wife for Brother Qiang, and Brother Qiang has fallen in love with a small actress. Now my sister-in-law is asking Lian's second sister-in-law to persuade Brother Qiang to change his mind."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law is in such a difficult situation, are you still smiling?"

Yingchun smiled and said: "She doesn't have any troubles, when she talked earlier, she also said that the little actor is so juicy and handsome."

Xichun said: "Left and right are just marrying one, I don't understand what the sister-in-law is arguing with Brother Qiang."

"When you grow up, let's see if you still talk like this." Jia Lian bent down and rubbed the yellow dog's neck to see if it had rose thorns on its body, and when she looked up, she saw Youshi with red and swollen eye sockets, wearing an apricot-colored shirt, reluctantly smiling. Then Xu Qingheng came over.

Jia Lian persuaded You Shi, "If the little opera singer is sensible and obedient, then it's enough for Brother Qiang to do business with peace of mind?"

You Shi said reluctantly: "If you really can't compete with him, you can only do this. You just have to make an agreement with Brother Qiang first, and the child you give birth must be raised by me, otherwise, if you follow the temper of that little opera... "

"Look at how troublesome sister-in-law is." Xichun said.

Youshi put his finger on her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily, "What will happen to your disregarding everything? Is it possible that you want to invite your son-in-law?" Seeing that Yingchun was abrupt in her words, she went to see Yingchun. .

Yingchun pursed her lips in resentment and said nothing, suddenly saw two people in pink and green clothes walking along the winding stream, arm in arm, and said deliberately, "Look, who is the one led by Baoyu?" Look again, but it's not Baoyu.

Jia Lian, Xu Qingheng, You Shi, and Xichun looked over one after another. When they got closer, they saw Shi Xiangyun wearing Baoyu's aqua green gown, clove pants, and black boots. A girl with a pretty face and a lively manner came over.

Xu Qingheng said with a smile: "It looks like it is somewhat similar to Baochai."

"Two points more beautiful than Baochai." Yingchun sighed.

Youshi and Xichun also sighed in admiration.

Among them, only Jia Lian wondered, could it be that he has been too kind in the past two years, and everyone can enter his garden?

Away from the Cymbidium, Youshi smiled and said, "Yun girl, you are married, your mother-in-law allows you to dress like this?"

Shi Xiangyun laughed and said: "This is Baoyu's old clothes. She wished I could wear them like this. While telling others that I love this, I can save money on clothes for the four seasons." .

Seeing that he had asked the wrong question, Youshi nodded and smiled at the girl in pink.

"Baoyu didn't take any silver home in the Beijing Palace?" Jia Lian frowned.

Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "He eats wine and composes poems with the gentlemen. From the clothes to the sachets, everything is the best, and all the money he brings back is spent on him. Fortunately, I like to dress up like this." I hope our wife doesn't care about it." Suddenly remembering that she hadn't introduced the woman around her, she said to everyone, "This is Baoqin, the sister of Sister Baochai's second uncle's family."

Jia Lian saw their daughters' house talking, so he led the yellow dog to Lixiangyuan. After walking a few steps, after listening to the girls' greetings, Youshi asked Aunt Xue why they came here. Shi Xiangyun suddenly said, "Aunt Xue is Entrusted by someone, I came to matchmaking for Sister Yingchun."

Because of this step, Jia Lian stopped in his tracks. Seeing Yingchun spat shyly and then went to the water pavilion, he frowned slightly, and led the dog slowly, and Baoqin took the dog's leash to hang it all over the place. Go to the shade of the little gourd, and ask Shi Xiangyun: "Which family is it from?"

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "I only heard a few words, it seems that the adopted son of a well-known old eunuch surnamed Xian asked Aunt Xue to be a matchmaker."

"That's not acceptable. You can't get married in the Spring Festival, so you have to stay at home and pass on the family line to the Rongguo Mansion." Jia Lian frowned, thinking to himself how far the Rongguo Mansion had fallen?Even the godson of a eunuch dared to ask for marriage.
