The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Concubine Ming stayed in the side palace for 21 days. During these 21 days, the two historians made a mistake on the seventh day, and both officials were demoted to a lower rank; The day is gone; on the 15th, Xu Shining was also demoted to a lower rank due to a mistake by the Ministry of Internal Affairs; on the 18th, Jia Mu stepped on the moss in the garden and twisted her waist.

After the 21st day, neither Jia Mu nor Xu Qingheng could go, only Jia Lian packed up his luggage and followed the funeral procession to Xiaoci County. When I was bored, I took a look at the elegiac couplets sent by each family, and remembered those that might come in handy in the future; when I got tired of reading the elegiac couplets, I went to see the scenery in the suburbs again, and saw luxuriant grass and warblers singing everywhere. Yan Wu also finds it interesting.

In the evening, he settled down at a village eunuch's house. Jia Lian washed his hands and went out because he was interested in seeing the rural scenery. The servant was trying to drive an old lady to go elsewhere, so he had to take a detour.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved a step, the old lady shouted: "But the second master of my in-laws?"

Jia Lian didn't know where such an in-law came from. Seeing that the old lady was neatly dressed in patches, she laughed and said, "Which in-law is the old man in Jia's house?"

"My family name is Wang, and I belong to the second wife's family in the family."

Grandma Liu?Jia Lian was startled, and said with a smile, "What is grandma doing?"

Grandma Liu said coyly: "The family has had poor harvests for the past two years, and I can't get over it. I went to the city four or five times a year after the year, but I didn't meet the rightful owner. Today in Zhuangtou, I heard that someone from Jia's mansion also came to funeral for the concubine. So I came here to say hello."

"The old lady at home twisted her waist, and grandma was busy taking care of the house, so she didn't come over." Jia Lian handed her her purse without waiting for Grandma Liu to say.

Grandma Liu was disappointed, when she suddenly saw that she didn't say anything good, she got a heavy purse, which was worth 20 taels of silver.

"Where did the old woman come from?" Suddenly someone said.

Grandma Liu looked over in a daze. Seeing that he was an ordinary-looking person, she didn't take it seriously. She still bowed to Jia Lian.

"There's an old man who doesn't know Taishan." Shui Hongsheng sneered, walked up to Jia Lian and asked, "Where are you going? See if you look at the couplets and clouds all day, so you're at ease."

"Going to have a look at the rural scenery, are you going?" Jia Lian asked.

"What's so interesting about that?" Having said that, Shui Hongsheng saw that Jia Lian was already walking towards the field, so he followed him, and when he saw many guards following him, he ordered them to go further away.

From the old elm money tree, within a hundred steps, you can see a field. At this time, it is already late, and with the spring breeze, the tiny mosquitoes are flying all over the sky, attracting countless bats, like butterflies in the dark night, flying in the sky. flying between.

"You really have the guts to tease me." Shui Hongsheng chuckled, probably letting go of his guard, and his voice was much softer, but it was still deeper and hoarse than an ordinary woman's voice.

Jia Lian glanced back at her, seeing that she was showing a womanly look at this moment, squatted down to look at the shepherd's purse flowers emerging from the ground, grabbed a handful and gave it to Shui Hongsheng.

Shui Hongsheng took the shepherd's purse flower, saw that the root was still attached to the flower stalk and had a little soil, so he pinched off the root and said with a smile: "You are really arrogant. If you kill Hong and Long in front of me, you are not afraid that I will kill you." Silence; just give shepherd's purse flowers, why don't you even pick off the roots?"

"It's too dirty." Jia Lian wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

Shui Hongsheng was taken aback, first threw the shepherd's purse flower on the ground angrily and stomped on it with his foot, and then said arrogantly: "Pick another one, and I will pinch off the roots for you."

Jia Lian scoffed.

"Are you born so arrogant?"

"If yes, will you reincarnate with me?" Jia Lian wiped his hands and walked forward along the ridge of the field. He just saw an acre of land, and in the dim sky, there were coins the size of coins in the shimmering field. Crabs are patrolling below.

Jia Lian thought to himself, no wonder Grandma Liu knew the market price of crabs. It turned out that someone near her village raised them.

"Why do you have such an attitude? On that day..." Shui Hongsheng followed closely and said angrily behind Jia Lian.

Jia Lian looked back at her and asked with a smile, "Want to eat crabs? I'll catch them for you."

"Slap a sweet date? You underestimate me too much, besides, it's not the time to eat crabs." Shui Hongsheng said, seeing Jia Lian squatting by the crab field, eager to vent his anger, he walked to him Stretch out your hand and push him hard into the paddy field.

When Jia Lian fell down, he grabbed Shui Hongsheng's calf with lightning speed, and with the force of the fall, pulled her off and put her under the ground, tiptoeing her feet and still not leaving the field ridge, and supporting her firmly with both hands. On Shui Hongsheng.

"It's dangerous." Jia Lian said with a smile.

Shui Hongsheng, who had fallen in the paddy field, waited for Jia Lian to withdraw his hand, and put his hands in the mud under the water. He sneered at first, and then he couldn't help laughing. Seeing that the guards were coming, he waved them to stand farther away. Your grandma, are you like this too?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "She has suffered a lot. Wash your hands first, and I will pull you up."

Shui Hongsheng washed his hands in the water and didn't ask Jia Lian to pull them. He stepped on the muddy water and asked, "Do you know what I'm laughing at?"

"Lonely men and widows, all wet, why not find a place, light a bonfire, take off your clothes and I'll dry them for you?" Jia Lian said.

Seeing that his guess was correct, Shui Hongsheng took off his shoes and untied his outer clothes, only wearing a snow-green jacket and moon-white trousers, and said with a light smile, "Since you guessed right, you should be I know, this clothes is not just for me to take off."

"My lord has been a man for more than ten years. Don't you know that it's easier for a man to undress than a woman?" Jia Lian also said with a smile, looking at her body, and curious about how she exercises on weekdays.

Shui Hongsheng suddenly became angry again, threw his dirty clothes on the ground, walked up the road, walked a few steps, turned around and hugged Jia Lian tightly, "Look how beautiful this rural scenery is, With one or two acres of land, three or two medlar plants, and one or two yellow dogs, wouldn’t this life be free and easy? You and I, taking advantage of the lack of guards, can retreat to the countryside, okay?"

Jia Lian patted her on the shoulder, thinking about how she managed to achieve such a tall and straight figure, then took off her clothes and put them on for her.

"Is it because you don't want to go back to the countryside with me, or do you really don't want to go back to the countryside?" Shui Hongsheng asked.

"Jia Lian doesn't want to go back to the countryside."

"Prosperity and wealth are more important after all." Shui Hongsheng sneered, and put Jia Lian's clothes on his body, while tying his belt, he said: "Since you guessed that I am a woman, can you guess what I am going to do? Or, what do others want me to do?"

"Know a thing or two."

"Tell me and listen." Shui Hongsheng couldn't help but take another step closer to Jia Lian, wondering suspiciously how dangerous this person is, why did he stick to him?

"You can't tell the big ones, you can only start from the small ones."

"Say."

"It's said that my family has a garden, and there is a small kitchen in the garden. The kitchen is specially used for eating, drinking and joking with my old lady when she visits the garden. Every month, the cook in the small kitchen can always earn three or five taels of spare money. On the door of the small garden The mother-in-law who guarded the garden and had some relationship with the wife above saw it, and felt jealous. So the mother-in-law secretly won over the housekeeper who could talk and the willful girl who couldn't talk, and ordered the girl to smash the kitchen and expose the Bad things in the kitchen, and then..."

"There's no need to say the rest, just say, did the woman who guarded the garden take over the kitchen in the end?" Shui Hongsheng felt a little uneasy in his heart, but felt more and more that he had unique eyesight, and looked at him with burning eyes. Looking at Jia Lian, she thought in her heart that when things were done, she would give Xu Qingheng a happy death.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. Whether it's successful or not depends on how people do it."

"If you want glory and wealth, this king will give you glory and wealth." Shui Hongsheng sighed softly, and suddenly heard someone call the prince, and when he turned around, he saw that it was her cousin from her mother's family, so he suddenly turned his head and leaned his forehead On Jia Lian's shoulder, he laughed at himself and said, "Even if you were willing to go back to the countryside with me just now, I would not be able to leave. You are a smart person, so you naturally know that you cannot leave. Why do you still refuse to lie to me when you know it?"

"Since the lord has chosen that path, he should move forward like Jia Lian."

Shui Hongsheng took two steps back and said with a smile: "You are neither gentle nor considerate, where do you have the guts to put all your eggs in one basket on this king?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "My lord sees that I am clever and a philistine, so you should know that if Jia Lian stands behind you, you will have a good chance of winning."

"Sure chances?" Shui Hongsheng chuckled, and took two steps back. He heard her cousin calling again and again, so he walked towards her cousin. After walking away, he turned around and saw Jia Lian squatting in the field. While watching the little crab crawling in the water under the moonlight, he stared blankly for a second, then moved forward freely.

When they got to the front of an elm tree, Shui Hongsheng's subordinates surrounded him.

"My lord, just now I saw that Jia Lian was really rude, and dared to tear the lord into trouble."

"Exactly, my subordinates have seen that Jia Lian is not a good person, the prince should be more careful about him."

"My lord—how about asking Jia Lian to come to discuss important matters? Right or left, since Jia Lian killed Hong Helong, why not ask him to fill in the vacancy of Hong and Long, besides, the lord can also use the Shenji Camp."

……

"The king knows." Shui Hongsheng scolded, smelling the light fragrance on the clothes, suddenly thought that the woman who wanted to occupy the kitchen would probably be kicked out again in the end.

"The lord should ask Jia Lian to contribute, so we can tell whether he is sincere or not."

Shui Hongsheng sighed and said, "This king said I understand." Taking a deep breath, he turned his head again and saw that Jia Lian had already merged into the night, walking farther and farther, he led all his subordinates to the squire's mansion, and entered the mansion , entered the wing room that Tete had prepared for her, and saw that all the members of the Ming family and the important subordinates were there, and the map of the imperial city was placed on the large table.

Shui Hongsheng sat down on the chair boldly.

Uncle Ming Guo said: "My lord, you can't hesitate any longer. The title of 'Dong'an County King' is very unlucky. The lord gave this title to the lord, because he has already saved his heart to eradicate him. In five or six years, the two princes married wives and had children. The prince had no children, so he would be criticized by others. Besides, the concubine disappeared suddenly, and a lot of spices were put into the coffin. After the death of the concubine, Long En was sent down. It can be seen that the death of the concubine may not be directed at the Ming family and at the prince. Rather than sit and wait for death, the prince should take the initiative to attack."

"Exactly. How many years has the Supreme Emperor never asked that woman in Suzhou, why would he kill the concubine because of that woman for no reason? After all, it is all to suppress our Ming family." The patriarch also sighed. Said.

"Understood, let's listen to the father-in-law and uncle of the country." Shui Hongsheng said lazily.

Uncle Ming Guo hurriedly said: "When Hong Helong was here, although he didn't reveal much, he also explained some things to the Supreme Emperor. After the matter was completed, he threatened the Supreme Emperor with this matter, and begged the Supreme Emperor to come forward to assist the prince. The Supreme Emperor will definitely nod in agreement; Many of our people have also entered the House of Internal Affairs, and because of the concubine's incident, Xu Shining is so busy that he has nothing to guard against; the three families of Xiuguofu, Zhiguofu, and Xiuguofu are in distress, and the other families are panic-stricken, and they are willing to join the prince's rebellion; besides, Feng Tang, the old prince of Nan'an, etc. led heavy troops to the south again, and there were not many guards in the capital. This is exactly in line with the saying that the time, place and people are right."

"Understood, let's proceed according to the plan." Shui Hongsheng sneered at the corner of his mouth, thinking that after the matter was completed, she would have to be like the gatekeeper woman, to please the Supreme Emperor, appease the officials, and enumerate the emperor's crimes.

"...My lord, why don't you bring Jia Lian in? His magical camp can also come in handy." Guojiu remonstrated.

Shui Hongsheng pondered and said: "Let's talk about it in two days, he may not be reliable. Let's all go away, the day when the concubine is buried, it will be the time to start trouble."

"Yes." The head of the country, the uncle of the country and others retreated respectfully.

Shui Hongsheng sat alone in the room, and suddenly asked, "Where is Jia Lian?"

"Go back to your lord, Jia Lian is still wandering around the fields."

Shui Hongsheng sneered, thinking to herself that she was really deluded by lard, how could she think that Jia Lian was better than King Beijing?Although he is clever, as long as he is pulled into the muddy water, he will have to flatter her.

The moonlight was thick, and when it was near the second watch, the field was full of mist, Jia Lian felt a little cold, and was about to go back to rest, when he saw two large, one small, and three shadows approaching from a distance, he stood still and waited for the shadows to approach. I saw that it was Grandma Liu who came with her son-in-law Gouer and grandson Baner.

"Ban'er, quickly kowtow to the second master." Grandma Liu gave her grandson a push.

After Ban'er staggered slightly, it was probably when Grandma Liu was at home that he promised him what to buy tomorrow, and immediately kowtowed twice courteously.

The dog also laughed and kowtowed.

"It's all free," Jia Lian said.

Seeing that Jia Lian was only wearing a jacket, Grandma Liu laughed and said, "Isn't Second Master Lian cold? It's very cold."

"I'm a martial arts practitioner, so I'm not cold." Jia Lian had nothing to say to Grandma Liu's smiling faces, and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered the story in the book about a dog buying land for Zhou Rui. I have done my best, so even though Zhou Rui is allotted now, I still ask cautiously: "I don't know if you have ever bought land for the second wife?"

Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "Zhou Rui, the second wife of the family, bought the land back then, and the dog helped him out, but after buying the land, Zhou Rui disappeared. The dog went to the city twice to ask, Zhou Rui refused to ask for the land. Zhou Rui's son-in-law, Leng Zixing, bought the land after hearing that he had made a fortune in Jinling. Unexpectedly, not long after he bought it, he heard that Leng Zixing had a relationship with an official lord also surnamed Jia. They went to prison together; later Leng Zixing also went to jail. People say that the land is unlucky, but the good land is now in vain. Those who have money are unwilling to buy it, and those who have no money can’t afford it. Second Master Lian wants to buy it. Is it? Let the dog go and say, dozens of acres of fertile land, and a little bit of silver can be taken away." Saying that, he went to pull the sleeve of his son-in-law.

Gou'er was eager to earn some money by running errands for Jia Lian, and was afraid that Jia Lian would also find it unlucky and would not buy it, so he said to Grandma Liu, "Second Master Lian may not be short of this land."

"Then I will trouble the brothers of the Wang family to go for a trip. They bought the land and don't look for anyone else. Let the brothers of the Wang family be the masters and hire someone to plant some goji berries in the field. During the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, send some goji berry buds. In the house." Jia Lian said casually, and no one else wanted to plant them, because Shui Hongsheng mentioned wolfberry earlier, so he mentioned wolfberry first.

Grandma Liu said with a smile: "Could it be that the grandma and the girl in the house are not allowed to grow goji berries?"

The dog coughed awkwardly.

"What is the body?" Ban'er opened his mouth and asked.

Gou'er raised his hand and slapped his son, cursing, "Little bastard, did you ask me what your lord is talking about?" Then he laughed at Jia Lian and said, "Second Master, don't blame him."

"Not to blame, not to blame." Jia Lian's kanban was about to cry, so he threw the jade gourd he was carrying with him to play with, secretly thinking that Shui Hongsheng didn't want to grow flowers, nor melons and vegetables, but only two or three Lycium barbarum, could it be that water Hongsheng is yin-deficiency and internal-heat, and menstrual blood is irregular?Because thinking about it, if this is the case, Shui Hongsheng can also use Xue Baochai's Lengxiang Wan.Thinking about it, he said to Grandma Liu and Gou'er: "It's getting late, go back, and tomorrow I will send someone to do things with you. Just come and get as much money as you want."

"Hey, second master, go slowly." The dog said happily.

Jia Lian nodded, walked forward, and walked halfway, saw Zhao Tianliang coming to meet him, and said to Zhao Tianliang, "Go to Xue's house immediately, and ask Grandma Xue for some Miss Xue's Lengxiang pills. Tell her it's for important people."

"Yes." Zhao Tianliang agreed to leave.

"Wait a minute." Jia Lian called again, thinking about it, and then said: "My daughter's menstrual blood conditioning pills, also ask Grandma Xue for some, the more the better."

Zhao Tianliang was puzzled, agreed in a hurry, and did not go back to rest, and immediately rode his horse towards the city. When he reached the city gate, it was just opened, so he entered the city and went straight to Xue's house. Following the servant came in, went to the front hall to wait, after a cup of tea, Wang Xifeng who had just woken up hurried over.

It was rare for Zhao Tianliang to see Wang Xifeng face to the sky, so he looked at her twice more.

"I'm not afraid that I'll poach your dog's eyes. Why did you tell me so early?" Wang Xifeng asked, before Zhao Tianliang could say anything, and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that the second master of our family is gone, and the second wife is sick in bed again, the family business You can't do without me, and I want to follow you to Xiaoci County."

Zhao Tianliang hurriedly said: "Grandma, I know you are also a person with a mandate, now is not the time to talk about this. Our second master said, please dig out some of the eldest girl's Lengxiang pills, and then take those pills for the daughter's family to regulate menstrual blood." The more the better, put them in porcelain bottles. The second master is in urgent need."

Wang Xifeng sat on the teacher's chair with her legs crossed, and said with a smile: "I know that your old lady, wife, and grandma will not go. Who is this urgent need for? Is it possible that your second master hooked up with someone else after only going out of the city for a day?" Can't your grandma do it?"

"Grandma, look at my eyes. If I didn't need them urgently, I would have rushed here overnight?" Zhao Tianliang pointed to his eyes.

Seeing that his face was exhausted, Wang Xifeng didn't know why the daughter Jia Lian was taking the medicine urgently, but fearing that it would delay his work, she hurriedly ordered people to dig out the jar of Lengxiang Wan under the flower tree in the garden, and used the porcelain bottle as white as jade. After packing thirty pills, he filled two boxes full of pills from his daughter's home brought back from Qianxiang country, wrapped them carefully in snow silk, and asked Zhao Tianliang to take them away.

Zhao Tianliang took the medicine, and immediately went out of the city without stopping. It was not until the evening that he caught up with the funeral procession that had stopped for the night, and hurriedly sent the medicine to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian insisted on the medicine for a while, then took out a clay pot, and ordered Zhao Tiandong to send it to Shui Hongsheng.

At this time, Shui Hongsheng was washing in the squire's wing. Hearing that Jia Lian had sent something, he thought that the leftovers were just some handkerchiefs and jade pendants, so he asked people to put them on the table first, and then he sent them to him after wringing his hair. Walking in the open room, I first looked at the rough clay pot with a narrow mouth and a big belly. I didn't know what Jia Lian meant by sending it here. After looking inward, I saw a thatched house made of reeds and thatch, and three square fields were arranged with moss. On the edge of the field, several clumps of goji berries are hung with tiny agate-like fruit sticks, and two yellow dogs made of mud spread their hooves to chase a pheasant with flapping wings.

Shui Hongsheng's eyes warmed up, and he took a look at the bright tile lamp hanging in a corner of the room, and saw a man and woman with an ordinary appearance vaguely reflected on the lamp, with both hands clasped on the jar; There was still a package, so I opened the package and saw a note inside that said, "This medicine uses 12 taels of white peony stamens that bloom in spring, 12 taels of white lotus stamens that bloom in summer, and 12 taels of white hibiscus stamens that bloom in autumn. Twelve taels of white plum blossom stamens that bloom in winter, plus twelve qian qian of honey and 12 qian qian of white sugar to make. When taking it, use [-] fen phellodendron decoction and send it down." Open the note, and see a white porcelain bottle with three Lengxiang pills written on it After reading the word, I opened the plug to smell it, only to smell a cold and strange fragrance coming to my nostrils.

"What kind of medicine did you give away for no reason?" Shui Hongsheng was puzzled. Seeing that there were still boxes, he opened the box and saw that there were sixteen bottles of medicine in the two boxes. medicine.

Shui Hongsheng suddenly realized that he hugged the earthen pot and leaned on it, looked and looked, crying and laughing for a while, secretly thinking that although he has a bad temper, he is a hundred times more careful than others. As a woman, what she is worried about is not Jiangshan Sheji is nothing more than appearance and offspring.

"My lord, the country's father and uncle are here," said the little eunuch outside the door.

Shui Hongsheng's smile froze, and he thought that Jia Lian must also come to discuss matters when the father-in-law and uncle come.For some reason, when Jia Lian talked about the gatekeeper woman last night, she vaguely felt that it would be difficult for them to make trouble like this.Suddenly he took a few steps outside, opened the curtain by himself, and said to the little eunuch who was serving outside: "Tell Second Lord Lian to immediately return to the Zhuangzi where he stayed last night, and order him to return to the capital in a month."

"Yes." The little eunuch wondered why the king of Dong'an made such an order, and just followed suit.

Hearing Shui Hongsheng's words, Jia Lian guessed that tonight the father-in-law Guo's uncle's house was going to coax him into the muddy water, so he immediately took his own people away while everyone was rectifying.

Seeing Duke Li and Shi's family going with Uncle Guo, he thought that the remaining Dukes might not end well, so he went to Zhuangzi who went yesterday.
