The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

"Second master?" Hua Zifang asked softly.

Jia Lian took the pen and said with a smile, "It's okay, you can go."

"Hey." Hua Zifang agreed, and took Pearl to leave.

Jiang Yuhan changed her clothes and came out in good spirits, and asked Jia Lian about pearls.

Jia Lian said with a smile, "Anyway, she's a good wife and mother. It's good to marry her wife and children back to the heat of the kang." Seeing Jiang Yuhan's heart, he talked about the festival between Pearl and Baoyu in Jinghuanzhai.

After hearing this, Jiang Yuhan said, "It can be seen that the girl has a bit of character."

There is a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Jia Lian did not correct him.After a while, the yamen servant came to the door again and asked Jiang Yuhan to testify in the yamen, so he asked Quan Fu to get the sedan chair ready and take him there.

After Jiang Yuhan left, Jia Lian put the pug on the ground, patted the dog hair on his clothes, and walked towards the Dakua courtyard. After passing through the corner gate, he saw Yingchun, Xing Yanyan, and Xue Baoqin coming out of the Dakua courtyard. Said to Yingchun: "I'm afraid that there are some unpleasant words recently, you listen to it, just take it as a deaf ear."

"Hey." Yingchun agreed anxiously.

Seeing this, Xing Yanyan led Xue Baoqin from the back porch to Jiamuna.

Yingchun waited for the others to leave, then asked again: "I don't know what ugly words my brother said?"

Jia Lian thought about it and said, "Earlier, your sister-in-law Xue led people to make trouble and pretended Liuli to be seen by Sun Shaozu. When Sun Shaozu was about to die, he went around shouting that you are too beautiful..."

Yingchun chuckled and said, "I'm afraid some people will be disappointed if they see a real person."

"It's strange to say that it was Sun Shaozu who yelled a few words. Somehow in the capital, people spread the word about you, wishing to shout out the words 'There are beauties in the north, who are independent from the world'. There is another one who wants to talk to you this morning. The person who promised to marry was smashed to death with a wine jar filled with tin blocks when he left our Ningrong Street."

Yingchun's eyes widened suddenly, and after a long time, she muttered, "Could it be that Liu Xianglian is back?"

"It's not him. I don't know if it's a friend or an enemy who came here. Don't go out with other people recently." Jia Lian ordered, and when he saw the pug entangled him, he ordered Yingchun to go back to his room. He led the pug into the back upstairs, and carried his back He started to walk upstairs twice, and when he saw Xu Qingheng coming upstairs, he took the tea bowl from her hand, took a sip, and put it back in her hand.

"I heard something happened on East Street?" Xu Qingheng walked over leisurely, her skirt rippling like water ripples.

Jia Lian thought about it and said, "I'm afraid someone is going to frame the King of Beijing."

"What did you frame him for?" Xu Qingheng asked casually.

Jia Lian was silent, and smiled for a while, "It's probably because of the scapegoats I told him to take."

Xu Qingheng was stunned, and said angrily: "You can still laugh, how are you going to frame the King of Beijing?"

"I don't know, probably..."

Before Jia Lian could finish his sentence, he heard Yuanyang shouting from downstairs: "Second Master, a young eunuch has recruited you for the case on Dongjie."

"How do you say it?" Jia Lian leaned close to the railing and looked down.

Yuanyang raised her head and said: "It is said that it was ordered by the King of Jingjing." Because she felt that standing downstairs was not good enough to preach, she carried her skirt and went upstairs. On the armrest, he whispered: "It is said that King Jing of Beijing valued Miss Yingchun's beauty, and wanted to frame Miss Yingchun's reputation as a Koff, and when Miss Yingchun couldn't get married, he would take her as his own."

"I didn't expect Yingchun to be a disaster." Xu Qingheng sighed softly.

Jia Lian shook his head and said: "It's definitely not that simple." How could such a trick of blaming others be used by the Zhongshun Palace?

Yuanyang didn't understand why Jia Lian said that, and went downstairs after delivering the message.

Jia Lian turned upstairs with his hands behind his back, and suddenly saw the golden cicada embroidered on the tent, and thought of the sentence that the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole followed, so he said to himself: "If I knew it was Bei Jing What the king has done, will definitely hate the king of Beijing. Therefore, he will secretly trip up the king of Beijing. It can be seen that this scheme is ultimately calculated on my head."

"What's the matter with the King of Beijing that can trip you up?" Xu Qingheng followed closely behind Jia Lian.

Jia Lian said in a deep voice: "Baoyu also said that the King of Beijing has been so busy recently that he doesn't even have time to drink and compose poems." Taking a deep breath, he thought about what to do so that he would not offend the King of Beijing and not It caused the Zhongshun Palace to speculate.Suddenly felt that Xu Qingheng hugged him tightly from behind again, he was enlightened, secretly thought that he should just follow Prince Zhongshun, no matter what happened, he would see what Prince Zhongshun would do before he came out.So he turned around, patted Xu Qingheng on the cheek, and said, "Thank you for reminding me." As he spoke, he hurried downstairs.

Xu Qingheng followed behind him resentfully. Seeing Jia Lian writing a letter to Prince Zhongshun, he lay down on the desk and said, "Aren't you afraid of being fooled by the authorities? Maybe it's not against you or the King of Beijing, but against my father, or against the fifth prince." What about the mansion next door, but my father and brother Jingfeng are cleaning it up."

Jia Lian paused while holding the pen, secretly thinking that Xu Qingheng's words made sense, that is, Hong Helong hated the King of Beijing in his heart, and now that he has gone to Beijing, he must find a backer, maybe it was his backer who ordered him to do the job. ?So he called Wu'er and said to Wu'er, "Ask Zhao Tianliang to ask who is the apprentice of the little eunuch who confessed."

"Hey." Wu'er agreed and went out.

Because there was still a young eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Ningguo Mansion, Zhao Tianliang went to ask, and sent Wu'er back and forth in a short while, saying: "The little eunuch who committed the crime is the cousin of the little Li Zi who is next to Eunuch Dai Quan. Father-in-law managed to get him to the House of Internal Affairs."

Jia Lian frowned, but said nothing.

Xu Qingheng sat beside Jia Lian, embroidering with a thread frame, and said: "So, it's just an old eunuch doing something wrong."

"How do you say it?" Jia Lian stared at the embroidered tassels in Xu Qingheng's hands, wondering when did she put these things with him?

"Beggars hate rich beggars the most. How can ordinary people have trouble with a eunuch?" Xu Qingheng said while pulling the silk thread.

"...Could it be that it kills two birds with one stone?" Jia Lian said hesitantly, guessing that Hong Helong conspired with an old eunuch to plot against Dai Quan and King Beijing Jing?

"Who knows." Xu Qingheng said nonchalantly.

This was exactly as Jia Lian said, and the next day, the news that King Kaibei Jing had killed Bian Zhuang in order to win the beauty was spread, especially on the east side of Jia Zheng's side.Because of playing chess, Jia Zhengna deliberately shouted to them through the courtyard wall.So in Xiaozhong, with nothing to do left and right, Jia Lian went to the east garden in a moon white shirt, entered the black oil gate, passed a Yi gate, and went straight into Jia Zheng's study.

Jia Zheng was sitting in his study, when he suddenly saw Jia Lian coming over, he sneered and said, "Nowadays, in our place, anyone can come in openly." boy.

Jia Lian also ignored his words, and said straight to the point: "Second Master, let me take care of it, so that the people on your side don't shout anything."

"I can't even control the servants, who else can I control?" Jia Zheng said disdainfully.

"This matter involves the King of Beijing, and Baoyu is still in the mansion of the King of Beijing."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng coughed, put down his book, and went out. Seeing Baoyu lazily about to go out, he said to him, "Go and tell your mother to watch, and don't call the women in the backyard." People talk nonsense."

Baoyu agreed, looked at Jia Lian, and was about to leave when Jia Lian called him, so he stopped.

"What is King Jing busy these days?" Jia Lian asked, he didn't believe that a little eunuch could do anything to King Jing with empty words.

Baoyu thought about it, and said: "I have never heard of the great things that the prince has done." After a short pause, he said: "From what other masters said, it seems that sister Lin was in the palace and was greeted by others who entered the palace. The prince is busy with this matter." He paused, and then said: "Uncle Lin will go to Yangzhou on business when the weather is better, but Liu Xianglian is not here. The prince originally said to ask me to go, but mother, Sister Yun cried to death and refused to ask me to go."

With his right hand, Jia Lian held the fan cover that had been hung around his waist early, stroked the peach blossoms on it, and said to Baoyu, "Go."

Baoyu went after hearing this.

Hearing the sound of "Hang", Jia Lian turned around and saw Jia Zheng's face wriggling in embarrassment, and asked, "What's wrong with Second Uncle?"

"...It's okay." Jia Zheng said sullenly.

"But are there any difficulties with money and silk?" Jia Lian asked.

Jia Zheng nodded and said, "Recently, two young eunuchs came to talk at the door and asked to borrow a few dozen taels of silver."

After Jia Lian listened, he handed the two banknotes in his pocket to Jia Zheng, and then went out with his hands behind his back. He never thought that before he left Jia Zheng's door, Zhao Tianliang came over nervously and said: " Second Master, the King of Dongping County led the Eldest Prince into the mansion, and now, people are already in the back garden. Grandma has already ordered people to set out the wine and dishes, and the old lady ordered the younger one to invite the Second Master over."

Jia Lian was stunned at first, and then followed Zhao Tianliang home in strides. He didn't want to go out and walked a few steps, but Baoyu followed closely, and whispered in his ear: "I remembered, it seems that the eldest prince greeted the queen mother." When I was here, I bumped into Sister Lin."

"Understood, there are a lot of things recently, so you don't go out too much." Jia Lian urged, seeing Baoyu staring at his fan, he gave the fan to Baoyu, then strode home, entered the corner gate, and hurriedly Hearing Yuanyang say a few words about the visitor, he hurriedly walked back through the main garden gate of Wujian. Behind a pear tree, a man in a purple brocade robe was facing away from him, holding a snack in his hand and teasing the pug dog. The man in the pear blossoms was tall and straight, thinking that this is another handsome man born from a beautiful man, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "I have seen the eldest prince, and I have seen the king of Dongping County."

"What's your dog's name?" The eldest prince teased the dog and asked Jia Lian with his back turned.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I didn't give him a name." After getting up, he saw that the eldest prince was not the same as the royal son he imagined, whether he was handsome or beautiful. He only saw his brows and eyes pale, his lips were pale, and his facial features were not the same. There is nothing to recommend, although the brocade clothes are luxurious, but there is no nobility at all, and the legendary aura of domineering is even more so.

"It can be seen that you don't care about names. No wonder, this huge garden has pleasant scenery everywhere, and there is no place with a name." The eldest prince turned his head and looked around, and then said with a smile to Jia Lian: "I just got a name, called King of Dong'an County."

Jia Lian's eyelids twitched, and he thought that since he was crowned king, he was afraid that the crown prince would not be destined to be the eldest prince; it's just that there was a Dong'an County king named Mu Shi who committed a crime before, and he was afraid that it would be unlucky to use this name again.I also thought that the edict hadn't been issued yet, so this title might not be taken seriously.

The king of Dongping County hurriedly said: "This name is very good, wouldn't it be good to be safe?"

The eldest prince sneered, and said to Jia Lian, "Let's call me by my real name, Shui Hongsheng."

"Don't dare." Jia Lian bowed her head and said.

"Why dare you? In the future, there will be times when I need your help." Shui Hongsheng sneered, then sat down at the stone table under the pear tree, and invited the King of Dongping County and Jia Lian to sit with him.

Jia Lian sat beside him sideways, and when he saw that Shui Hongsheng wanted to take the jug, he poured wine for him and said, "I don't know why the prince is here, and the official is really frightened."

"There will be a lot of visits in the future, so there is no need to panic." Shui Hongsheng pointed to the west side of Jia's mansion, and said, "The house on the west side of Ningrong Street is my house."

Moved out of the palace?Jia Lian thought about the fact that the mother and son of the new queen were really disliked by the emperor, so he intentionally showed a look of astonishment.

The King of Dongping County saw his expression in his eyes, but he didn't speak, and drank in embarrassment.

While pouring wine for the two county kings, Jia Lian excused that he was in Xiaozhong and did not drink.

Shui Hongsheng drank two glasses of wine in a row, and suddenly asked Jia Lian, "You're thinking about it, how capable is your natal uncle?"

"If you want to talk about the big things, you can become big, but if you want to talk about the small things, it's useless." Jia Lian said.

"Maybe be engaged to a fatherless woman?" Shui Hongsheng asked with a smile while holding his wine glass.

Jia Lian had previously thought that Shui Hongsheng was tentatively asking about Uncle Guo's family, but when he heard him ask this question, he remembered Baoyu's words and was stunned.

"Why do you insist on arguing with your Uncle Rong?" Duke Dongping finally couldn't help but opened his mouth, his brows were furrowed, as if he disapproved of Shui Hongsheng very much.

Shui Hongsheng smiled pointedly and said: "I want to fight. You two are smart people. It is reasonable to hear some clues. However, if something goes wrong, this king will know , it's time to find some smart, meddling person."

With Lin Ruhai here, it is definitely not Jia's turn to take care of Lin Daiyu's marriage.Jia Lian sees Shui Hongsheng's indifferent expression full of conceit, and secretly thinks that Shui Hongsheng wants to eradicate Lin Ruhai?When he was about to pretend to be stupid, he saw that Shui Hongsheng was looking at him with burning eyes, so he hurriedly said, "Why bother, my lord? Lin Ruhai and King Beijing are trusted by the Lord..."

"So what? Father can't trust me, how can he trust them?" Shui Hongsheng sneered, seeing Jia Lian's astonishment, he said slowly, "The queen of Qianxiang country, I don't know what kind of love is in her heart. Unexplainedly sent a sweat towel to the father, but the father actually gave the sweat towel to Shui Rong."

"It's just a sweat towel." Jia Lian and the king of Dongping County said in unison.

Shui Hongsheng suddenly threw the wine glass on the pear tree, sneered at the falling pear blossoms and said, "Why do you all say 'it's just a sweat towel'! What does the sweat towel mean? Understand?"

"Calm down, sit down and talk." Duke Dongping comforted Shui Hongsheng, who stood up suddenly, to sit down.

Shui Hongsheng didn't sit down, but said with a sneer to Jia Lian: "I'll just wait for the Rongguo Mansion to make the decision to send him to the Dong'an Palace. If there's anything wrong, you're the only ones to ask! Besides, since it's rumored that it's the work of King Beijing, , since you have an old enmity with the King of Beijing, I will wait and see how you take revenge on the King of Beijing! If you don't take action, then I can go and talk to the Lord Zhongshun." After finishing speaking, he threw up his sleeves go out.

Jia Lian thought that Shui Hongsheng was not as handsome as the royals, and he didn't even have the temperament of the royals. Seeing the king of Dongping sighing repeatedly, he quickly grabbed him and asked in a low voice: "My lord, This is how to do?"

"Who knows what to do?" Duke Dongping said with a sigh.

"...Could it be that the king of Dong'an County blamed Dai Quan for talking too much in front of the Lord because he wanted to seal the king out of the palace, so he killed Bian Zhuang and framed Dai Quan?" Jia Lian asked almost inaudibly.

King Dongping sighed and said, "You heard me, and you still ask me? Now that the King of Hades is strangling me, I can't even speak to Lin Ruhai Branch." Then, stomping his feet, he followed Shui Hongsheng up.

Jia Lian didn't go to see off the guests either, and stared at the leftovers on the table in a daze, weighing whether to cause Lin Ruhai to have an accident, or to call himself a suspicion of Dong'an County King, when he suddenly heard a dog barking, he picked up a piece with chopsticks The goose was fed to the pug, but the dog chewed the goose breast with its mouth open. Suddenly, its legs kicked and its eyes rolled over, and it lay on the ground foaming at its mouth and convulsed.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Xu Qingheng who was coming over cried out in panic when he saw it.

Jia Lian hurriedly carried the dog to the stream, and when he got there, he pushed aside the withered and yellow water plants, reached into the cold stream, picked up a handful of stinky mud, and stuffed it into the dog's mouth. The dog started to vomit convulsively, vomited out the goose meat it had eaten, and then drooped its head listlessly and lay on Jia Lian's hand.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingheng asked distressedly.

"It's okay, take out all the leftover dishes and bury them." Jia Lian rubbed the dog's head, recalling that Dongping and Dong'an only ate wine and did not eat vegetables, and thought that the king of Dong'an wanted to borrow the leftovers Cai poisoned his family's servants to give him a blow?Such a vicious person is really not easy to provoke, but if he dares to give him such a blow, he will definitely provoke him!

Xu Qingheng hurriedly ordered people to take out the remaining dishes and plates from the garden, and seeing that Jia Lian was still washing his hands by the stream, he ordered Wu'er to take the puppy and ask the doctor to look at him, squatting by the stream, and asked him: "How can I offend you?" people?"

"Someone is frustrated and came to our house to vent."

Xu Qingheng guessed who Jia Lian was talking about, and said, "Then just bear with it."

"Forbearance? If you don't want to die, hit my hand and tell him to die." Jia Lian sneered, thinking that there is one thing Dong'an County King doesn't know, that is, he already knew that not only Hong Helong was not dead, but Instead, he became his subordinate.So after washing his hands carefully, he went to the study in the front yard. In the study cabinet, he took out the portrait of Hong Helong that he gave to Hong Helong and put it in his bosom. Then he hurried to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion and left Ningrong Street. At the gate of Dongjie, I caught a glimpse of King Dong'an riding on a horse and watching him quietly from a distance, but pretended not to see him, and went all the way to Prince Zhongshun's mansion. The restaurant went up and down, so he hurriedly dismounted to meet him.

"Eunuch Chang." Jia Lian called out.

Chang Sheng probably frowned these two days, so there was a faint pink Sichuan character between his brows, and he sniffed when he saw Jia Lian.

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "What troubles have your father-in-law encountered these days?"

Chang Sheng sneered and said, "It's not that old boy Dai Quan. Little Li was involved, so he pointed at my nose and scolded me. Do you think this is ridiculous? Are you going to Zhongshun Palace?"

Jia Lian nodded, suddenly felt a thorn in his back, turned his head suddenly, and saw the Dong'an County King was still riding behind him.

"Is that the First Prince?" Chang Sheng shivered.

"...Eunuch was also blackmailed?" Jia Lian asked.

Chang Sheng trembled again because of the word, and seeing that the King of Dong'an didn't come forward, he pretended not to see it, and said in a low voice, "We met the Omen Star, and our family knew we were wronged, and who provoked me." Dai Quan and I were two, but someone said something wrong with Mr. Xian, and our old life will be paid for, so when we met Dai Quan, we were wronged for nothing, and we didn’t dare to tell the difference.”

Eunuch Xian?Jia Lian frowned slightly, seeing Chang Sheng looking at him earnestly, he knew that Chang Sheng dared not tell Prince Zhongshun, so he just asked him to pass it on to Prince Zhongshun.So I persuaded: "Elder-in-law, relax your mind." After finishing speaking, he got on the horse again and walked forward without looking sideways.
