The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Prince Zhongshun had a sneer at the corner of his mouth, secretly thinking that if it was him who spoke, Jia Lian would reluctantly agree in the end; and if Liu Xianglian really had an affair with the eldest girl of Jia's mansion, he would definitely agree to it.In this way, what kind of debate is true or false?

Besides, wouldn't this chill Jia Lian's heart again?

"My lord, what do you think?" Hu Jingzhi asked with a smile, thinking that if Jia Lian refused to make Prince Zhongshun suspicious, he would definitely not agree.

Prince Zhongshun shook his head, and said casually: "I have already found someone else for the Jia family."

"I don't know whose son the lord is looking for?" Hu Jingzhi asked a little nervously.

Prince Zhongshun said nonsense: "Zuo is just a very familiar young man." After talking, he sent Hu Jingzhi out, and he also went up to court in a sedan chair.

Sure enough, in the court hall today, the ministers shouted "the harem must not be without a master" and implored the emperor to establish a queen.After the emperor agreed in embarrassment, the direct descendants of Zhou and Wu rushed to recommend their own mothers.

In this way, even though they did not leave the court until noon, there was no debate about which character of Concubine Zhou or Concubine Wu was far superior to others.

Prince Zhongshun came out of the court hall and saw Xu Shining going out alone, so he bowed his hands to him a few steps away.

Xu Shining frowned and walked over, cupped his hands slightly, and said with a smile: "Is the prince okay recently?"

"I heard that Eunuch Xian will be executed tomorrow?" Prince Zhongshun asked tremblingly, remembering the close relationship between the princess and Eunuch Xian in the past.

Xu Shining nodded, "Who told him to lead people to kill Daming Palace that night?"

"Is there enough staff in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"Is there anyone you want to recommend, my lord?" Xu Shining asked.

Prince Zhongshun quickly waved his hands and said: "I am not confused, how dare I hit the gun at this moment? It's just a question. According to this king, you don't avoid relatives when you are a virtuous person. Tell your children to go."

Xu Shining quickly waved his hands, "No, no, tens of thousands of taels of silver are handled here every day. I often walk by the river, and I want to stay far away from here."

While speaking, the two left the palace. Outside the palace gate, Prince Zhongshun's Chief Historian came over and said in Prince Zhongshun's ear: "My lord, Hu Jingzhi has gone to the Ji family."

Prince Zhongshun turned cold.

After hearing a few words, Xu Shining asked, "Are you talking about little brother Hu Jingzhi?"

"Lord Xu also recognizes him?" Prince Zhongshun said in surprise.

Xu Shining said with a smile: "Eunuch Dai once brought him here, and he only said that he was a poor boy who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. Some of them were born with bad luck, and often had accidents before the exam. I thought about him, and I was going to agree. On Ningrong Street, a young eunuch from Eunuch Dai killed someone, and he is feared by people, so he dare not use him again. I don’t know what happened to that brother now?”

Prince Zhongshun said chillingly: This person has already attached all the people in the capital who can be attached to.So he admired Hu Jingzhi's ability, pitied him for his bad luck, and secretly hated him for concealing his relationship with Dai Quan and the Ji family.Suddenly he thought again, could it be that Hu Jingzhi was sent by the emperor?Thinking of this, cold sweat suddenly broke out.

"My lord, let's meet again some other day." Xu Shining cupped his hands and got into the sedan chair to check the Sixth Prince's Mansion under construction.

Prince Zhongshun got into the sedan chair, closed his eyes slightly, and after resting for a while, he took out the list in his arms very carefully, and scanned the people above one by one. With a light swipe on the name, seeing that there are still many people available-especially there are two or three big officials in the frontier, I feel at ease again.

Prince Zhongshun suddenly remembered that he had never been to Jia Lian's mansion, so he said, "Don't go back to the mansion, go to Rongguo mansion."

"Yes."

The sedan chair changed direction on the way, and went directly to Rongguo Mansion. The sedan chair did not pass through Ningrong Street, but went from behind the house of Ningrong Second Mansion, and entered Jia's house through the back door.

Prince Zhongshun got off the sedan chair when he entered Pear Fragrance Courtyard, and walked inwards. When he reached the back room, he heard the sound of reading aloud. When he saw a gentleman in the room saw him, he waved to that gentleman. Looking in from the window, he saw that there were only young children in the room, and no young and strong men, so he became suspicious, and when Mr. Fang Zhong came out to pay a visit, he asked suspiciously: "The children of the Jia family are so rare?"

It was Ge Kui who came out, and Ge Kui said with a smile: "Back to this old man, the second master Lian of our family didn't believe the saying that 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', so he picked up the smart ones and sent them to do business; Those who are spiritual in reading, go to all corners of the country to study; others who are not very smart and are a little tired, go directly to their hometown in Jinling to look at the ancestral house and grave."

"Make the best use of everything, and make the best use of people." Prince Zhongshun said approvingly, and waved Ge Kui to go back to teach, then walked out of the Lixiangyuan from the front hall, entered the garden through the back corner door, looked up, and saw the whole garden Peaches, plums, and apricots are hanging on the branches, and about ten or twenty young women sweep the awn flowers on the path to clean up the fallen red.

Prince Zhongshun was watching, when he suddenly saw Jia Lian coming in a hurry, so he sat down by a pond, saw water chestnut flowers blooming in the pond, and the fragrance came blowing in the wind, he thought to himself that although Jia Lian's garden is not gorgeous , but don't have a lot of elegance.

"Your Highness steps on low ground, and Jia Lian is far away from welcoming him. I hope His Highness will forgive you." Before Jia Lian arrived, he pleaded guilty first.

Prince Zhongshun said with a smile: "Your garden is well maintained, and it is more pleasing to the eye than the gardens of Zhou and Wu."

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "It's nothing compared to the two of them. It's just picking up some leftovers." When the boy brought a tea and fruit plate, he put it in the pavilion by himself.

Prince Zhongshun saw two big black dogs with slender waist and long body playing in the peony garden again, and said: "If there are some clouds and mist, it will be interesting to look at those two dogs." After a pause, he asked again: "You What were you busy with?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Yesterday, someone surnamed Liu came to make trouble, so I have to comfort Sister Lin early this morning."

"Is there anyone else who dares to go to Rongguo Mansion to cause trouble?"

Jia Lian said: "The man surnamed Liu came over at night yesterday, talking nonsense. Hu Jingzhi said that the prince wanted to randomly choose a son-in-law for Yingchun, so I asked him if the prince gave Yingchun a marriage proposal, what does it have to do with him? He was speechless by what I said, so he said that when he was in the capital, Uncle Lin had promised him that all the properties of the Lin family would belong to him in the future; although Uncle Lin is gone now, he is willing to take care of the younger sister of the Lin family He only said that he would take the belongings of the Lin family sister and Uncle Lin away. In the conscience of heaven and earth, all the important things of the Lin family were burned, and the remaining money was only 30 to [-] yuan. How can I give him the silver after listening to his empty teeth?"

"I didn't expect Liu Xianglian to be such a rascal."

Jia Lian said: "He has a chivalrous heart and is straightforward. How could he think of asking for money from the Lin family? I'm afraid someone is behind his back and told him to use this method to force me to marry my sister to him."

Prince Zhongshun thought that that person must be Hu Jingzhi.What a Hu Jingzhi, now he talks nonsense in front of him, and then encourages Liu Xianglian to force Jia Lian to agree.

"What do you want?"

Jia Lian sneered and said: "Last night my wife went to ask my sister, and my sister is determined to be deceived by Liu Xianglian's appearance. I thought, then Liu Xianglian must have thought that marrying my sister can be the head of the Rongguo Mansion People, so I'm discussing with my wife, just let my sister marry him, and don't talk about recruiting a son-in-law."

Prince Zhongshun heard what he said, and asked hesitantly: "Could it be that your internal injury has healed?"

Jia Lian said: "I don't know when the injury will heal, but seeing that the family wants to recruit a son-in-law, it caused a lot of troubles, not to mention that my sister threatened us with the saying that there was only one left in the house that she could pass on to the family, so she simply did it. That's it. Wait until you see a suitable child in the future, and then adopt him to your knees."

Prince Zhongshun nodded, because he asked Jia Lian again: "Have you seen Dai Quan recently?"

"I met him once when I was pleading for the second master of the family, Baoyu."

Prince Zhongshun pondered and said: "Then Dai Quan once recommended Hu Jingzhi to your father-in-law."

"The prince means that he is the person above?" Jia Lian frowned.

Lord Zhongshun nodded.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "My lord, according to my opinion, it is better for my lord to take him to live in the Qingxu Temple for ten days and a half months. If he patiently asks the lord for advice on Taoism within ten days and a half month, it is because the lord is too worried." Now, if he makes insinuations about other things, don't think too much, and figure out who he is in the future, and then follow the plan."

Prince Zhongshun thought that Jia Lian's method of tempting people was much better than Hu Jingzhi's method.

Just as he was talking, Lin Zhixiao suddenly came and said, "Second Master Lian, the master of the Wu family is here, and he is talking to Brother Lang in the second master's study."

After hearing this, Prince Zhongshun stood up and said with a smile: "He must be looking for you, please persuade the Xu family to ask the lord to enshrine their family's concubine as queen." Liu Xianglian plays an important role in the Feng family's army, so he can only suffer from being dumb, and must not offend him face to face."

"Yes." Jia Lian said, and sent Prince Zhongshun out of the back door all the way, and then walked forward slowly, walking on a path paved with emerald rain flower stones, when he suddenly heard rustling in the flowers, he thought it was a puppy The son crawled around, so he clicked his tongue, and stretched out his hand as if feeding, walked towards the flower bush, got closer, and just saw a blue belt, so he immediately shouted: "Who is there?"

After the sound, I saw the flowers tremble again, and then a man and a woman came out in a hurry with their pockets in their hands, the woman among them was playing chess, and the remaining man ran out with his clothes in his hands.

Unexpectedly, there were many dogs in the yard, suddenly the dogs saw the man running in a hurry, immediately surrounded the man and threw them to the ground.

"Who is it?" Jia Lian squinted at the man.

The man bared his teeth and barked.

Siqi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I beg Second Master to call the dog away and spare his life."

Jia Lian blew a whistle, and the big black or yellow dog immediately ran behind Jia Lian and lay down.

"Come and kneel for the second master quickly." Siqi's eyes turned red anxiously, and he was relieved to see that the man's face was pale with fright and did not leave any injuries. After the man knelt down, he turned to Jia Lian Said: "Second Master Lian, this is Pan You'an, my uncle's cousin, begging Second Master Lian to spare his life."

Jia Lian looked at the two people on the ground with a dull face, thinking that there was no way to guard against it, so he asked Siqi first: "You can sneak into the mansion in broad daylight, who can open the door?" Suddenly remembered and bought it. Seeing that Siqi didn't say anything, he asked, "But what did Qin Xian's family do?" He immediately regretted being soft-hearted and took Qin Xian's family in.

Si Qi hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Second Master Lian wants to punish, so just punish me, it's none of my aunt's business."

"I know that your family can't do good things! Why didn't you say you want to get married earlier, but you want to do these things that are neither human nor ghost. It's another thing to ruin the reputation of the family. What if someone follows the example and invites thieves in? Jia Lian sneered, seeing that Pan You'an was too frightened to speak, and asked him, "Aren't you originally from Ningguo Mansion? You were sent out, why did you come back?"

Pan Youan said hurriedly, "Second Master Lian, the young one..." Looking at Jia Lian tremblingly, he said for a long time, "The young one was sold to the south, and was bought by a family named Hao two years ago. Now I’m going back to the city with my master’s family.”

Seeing his flickering words, Jia Lian sneered, "How dare you talk nonsense?"

Siqi stretched out his hand and pushed Pan You'an flatly, and said angrily, "You have already been caught by the second master, so just tell the truth, then Lai Da doesn't have much kindness for you."

Lai Da?Jia Lian asked hesitantly, "The one surnamed Hao is Lai Da? Can he come back?"

Pan Youan hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Second Master Lian, it is said that when Lai Da went overseas, he was caught in a strong wind and rain, lost his way, and lost water and food. With his good tongue, Lai Da persuaded the crew on board to hijack him. He made his fortune by selling the goods on the ship. It is said that he met the old prince of Nan’an in Guangdong, and the old prince of Nan’an still recognized him, so he praised him once or twice, so Chief Manager Lai made a comeback.”

"Now he comes to seek revenge on me?"

Pan You'an bowed his head and nodded, and said: "Lai Da said that my cousin is still in Rongguo Mansion, so she asked me to come to see her, and told me to be sure..." He hesitated for a while.

Siqi hurriedly pushed Pan Youan, "What are you talking about?"

Pan Youan said hastily: "Director Lai told me to throw a package of things into the Grand Master's yard."

Siqi didn't know about this, so he trembled with fright.

"what?"

Pan You'an kowtowed and said, "I don't know what the small ones are, I just touched one by one in a brocade box."

Jia Lian sneered when he heard this, and saw Lin Zhixiao urging him again, so he said to Lin Zhixiao, "General Siqi's family, Qin Xian's family, Pan You'an, and those who are guarding the gate with Qin Xian's family today, all of them should be arrested and watched." Strictly."

"Yes." Lin Zhixiao wondered why Lai Da appeared again?Confused, he led Pan You'an, Siqi and others outside.

Siqi was supposed to be a secret meeting between her and Pan Youan, but Pan Youan did that again and said to Jia Lian, "Second Master Lian, please tell the girl that Siqi has failed her."

"Let's go." Jia Lian waved his hand, and went to the Northeast courtyard very unhappy. When he got to the door, he opened the courtyard door. Jia She and Bi Lian were not greeted as usual, so he led the people into the room. Go, and sure enough, I saw Jia Amnesty stroking his beard admiring a handful of exquisite fans.

Jia Amnesty gave all the previous things to Xu Qingheng, it was rare to see these again, just like an old tree in spring, he said with a smile: "Lian'er, these are all for me? You still have some conscience."

"Master, you can't keep these." Jia Lian said, going to get the fan.

Jia Amnesty hurriedly protected the fan and asked, "Why can't you keep it?"

"Think about it carefully, master. How could someone throw fans in for no reason? Tell me to take these fans out quickly." Jia Lian wrapped the fans with the original burden as he said.

Jia She lay on the table sideways, waved his hands and said, "You are very powerful now, what are you afraid of? Even if it's planting the blame, don't you think it's fair?"

Jia Lian saw that he was playing tricks, so he sneered and said, "What I'm doing now offends people. Don't you think carefully about why the Ningguo Mansion next door didn't exist?"

When Jia Amnesty heard the words "Ningguo Mansion", he gave in. He watched Jia Lian take those ancient fans back one by one, swallowed, and asked, "Have you found the son-in-law you want to recruit?"

"No more, no son-in-law."

Jia Amnesty was overjoyed when he heard this, rubbed his hands and let Jia Lian take all the fans away, and hurriedly called Bi Lian to tell the happy event.

But Jia Lian came out with the fan, and was about to burn the fan a hundred times, but after a while, he thought that Lai Dahou might have another trick, so he went to Pan Youan with the fan, and asked him in front of the chess player: "Are you right?" Is Siqi really interested?"

Pan You'an immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course it's true."

"If this is the case, then secretly put the fan back to Lai everyone. If it works, I will marry Siqi to you in the future. Otherwise, sell her. She is so beautiful, she will not be a girl if she goes to others. "Jia Lian said.

Pan You'an hurriedly kowtowed and said: "At first I didn't know what Lai Da'an's heart was. He thought that the second master Lian could take care of everything, so he boldly did things for him. Now that the second master said so, the younger one immediately gave him the things. send back."

After hearing this, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and still went forward to meet Master Wu.
