The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Hu Jingzhi was so frightened by Jia Lian's words that he was so frightened that he wanted to take the Hu family and his son back to his hometown immediately. No matter what Lai Da or the Rongguo Mansion, it was just a matter of being named on the gold list, having a bright future, and inheriting the Rongguo Mansion. All make him yearn for it.So in a daze, he also forgot to lead the horse, and went home in a daze.

When he got home and entered the study, Lai Da asked him excitedly: "What did the prince say?"

"...The lord said, ask me to be named on the gold list, have a bright future, and inherit the Rongguo Mansion in the future." After Hu Jingzhi finished speaking, he woke up in a jerk. Seeing Lai Da's excitement beyond words, he secretly thought that since Jia Lian had released these words, he would listen to them. It would be foolish to provoke Jia Lian if you trust him greatly; it is better to hide it from Lai Da.

Lai Da rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good. Then how will the prince deal with Jia Lian?"

"...The prince said, don't act rashly for the time being."

Lai Da nodded again and again, so he asked, "Brother, do you want to use money?"

"No need, until next year's exam, I will just study behind closed doors." Hu Jingzhi thought about inheriting the Rongguo Mansion in the future, and immediately became ambitious. After a few words with Lai Da, he forgot to sleep and eat.

Lai Da was afraid that he would make another mistake, so he also sat in the room and read with him.

Suddenly, Qin Xian shouted from outside: "Master, Grandma beat Mrs. Hu and wants to marry Mrs. Hu to the groom at home."

Hu Jingzhi tightened his hand holding the book, glanced at Lai Da, and said to Qin Xian: "Give their brothers and sisters 20 taels of silver, and send them back to the countryside." Throw it out through the window.

"Hey." Qin Xian agreed and went.

"Why does a man have to worry about not having a wife? Just put up with what the Xia family has to offer, and she will bear what she has in the future." Lai Da encouraged.

Hu Jingzhi nodded heavily.

On the other side, Jia Lian was sitting in a sedan chair, but went to Xiaohuazhi Alley, entered Xiaohuazhi Alley, pushed the door open and walked in, walked through the small front yard, and when he reached the backyard door, he saw Chen Ye. Jun Leng stood hunched over and looked at him.

"……I did not say anything."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "I heard it from behind the screen."

"...Then what are you doing here?"

"Come and see you, let you know, I'm watching you." Jia Lian put his hands behind his back, and when he saw Douer drooling over to touch the jade pendant on his waist, he took off the jade pendant and gave it to him, staring at him in warning. Chen Yejun took one look, but still went out.

When he got on the sedan chair outside, he was carried from the back street of Rongguo Mansion into the Lixiangyuan. In the Lixiangyuan, he was called to Jia Yun, Jia Qiang, Jia Zao, Jia Lan and other children.

Everyone rushed over at his call, but saw Jia Lian sitting on the front hall with his feet up.

"Second Uncle asked us to come, why?"

"What's going on in the Xue family these days?"

"Second uncle is asking Uncle Xue, or Grandma Xue?" Jia Yun asked hurriedly.

Jia Lian said, "How about Uncle Xue, and how about Grandma Xue?"

Jia Yun said with a smile: "Grandma Xue is busy with business, and she sees the eunuchs in charge of Concubine Xiande—the second uncle is not here for a few days, and the eldest grandma often comes here, so I ask my second aunt to help me talk and ask the House of Internal Affairs to take care of it." Concubine Xiande is more; Uncle Xue is still practicing daily in the Feng family's army, and he doesn't go home. It's just that some people pester him to eat wine and listen to the theater."

Jia Lian said in his heart that sure enough, he closed his eyes slightly, and first said to Jia Lan: "Tell your mother that you are going to study in the south of the Yangtze River. After you pass, the Yuan family will take care of you."

"Yes." Jalan agreed.

Jia Lian looked at Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, and Jia Zao again, "Separate our family's business from Xue's, and slowly get the business out of the capital. The name of the state mansion only hangs the signboard of the Liu family, and the money earned does not need to be transported back to Chang’an County. I’ll go and have a look at it when I’m free.”

"Second Uncle, why is this? Youdao leans against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and with Grandma Xue, this business is doing very well." Jia Yun said puzzled.

"I know you miss Hongyu, so I will marry her next year and take her to Jinling with me," Jia Lian instructed.

Jia Yun frowned, and suddenly said, "Second Uncle thinks the Xue family is too showy?"

Jia Lian nodded, this is just one, and the other is that sooner or later he will part ways with the Xue family.

"Second Uncle, we all know." Jia Zao, Jia Qiang and others said.

"It's good to know. Our family is a family that ransacked the house. Everyone is watching why the East Mansion is gone. We must not act like a family that has not experienced prosperity and decline. When they see the limelight, they rush Stick on."

"Yes."

"Let's go." Jia Lian waved his hand, seeing that Jia Lan, Jia Qiang and others had all gone, he sat in the hall for a while, thinking that since Wang Xifeng had gone to find Xu Qingheng, he would find him sooner or later, so After thinking about how to deal with it, he moved forward again.

Sitting in the back building, Xu Qingheng saw that he was worried, so he smiled and said: "It's been so difficult, why didn't you make great efforts to help the Xue family? Didn't you say that brothers are like brothers and women are like clothes?"

Jia Lian reached out and twirled a chess piece and tapped it lightly, and said with a smile: "Although that is the case, there are some clothes that cannot be thrown away."

Xu Qingheng was furious when he heard the words, so he stretched out his hand to mess up his chessboard.

"Looking at you, you can't help being teased, and you want to find something to say, isn't it self-inflicted?" Jia Lian smiled and rearranged the chess pieces.

Xu Qingheng puffed up his face angrily, and asked seriously: "Why do you look down on the Xue family?"

"Grandma Xue's temper..."

Xu Qingheng sneered and said: "The one in the palace has a good understanding with you, and you know the one outside."

"Knowing that my dish is shallow, why do you insist on pouring vinegar into it yourself?" Seeing that she was angry again, Jia Lian couldn't help teasing her.

Xu Qingheng laughed when he heard the words, and said, "It depends on how people come to demand debts again, how do you pay them back!" As he said that, he heard that the vegetarian food was ready, so he pulled Jia Lian forward.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Jia Lian went to Shenji camp again. After staying in Shenji camp for four or five days, he came to the city on horseback on the day of Xiumu.

When his horse entered the city and arrived at a shop of Xue's house, a shopkeeper came out of the shop and said, "Second Master Lian, our grandma invites you to come and talk."

After Jia Lian listened, he got off the horse, thinking that he had money to take.

Sure enough, he passed through the front cabinet and entered the backyard, and saw Wang Xifeng sitting under the persimmon tree holding a copy of "Historical Records", with a pile of white money in front of him.

"What is Grandma Xue doing?" Jia Lian asked, holding a whip in his hand and crossing his arms.

Wang Xifeng rolled up the book and put it on the money, and without standing up, she smiled and said, "Isn't it because you knew you were short of money and were being pressed for debt, so you rushed to get the money."

"Thank you grandma for your kindness." Seeing that the flowers on her collar were not of local color, Jia Lian reminded her, "Although the monks outside can recite scriptures, they invite monks from outside to chant scriptures everywhere, for fear that they will annoy the local monks."

"Your yin and yang words are really incomprehensible. According to me, if Yingchun has a girl in her belly, let her match our eldest brother."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "What you said is that we're just waiting for a brother to come out, and you wish we had a sister."

"Not much to say, let me ask you, what do you think of our eldest girl?" Wang Xifeng asked.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "How dare I judge the concubine Xiande."

Wang Xifeng stretched out his hand, asked Jia Lian to sit down opposite him, and said, "Dai Quan is old and cunning, and I can't get a single word of truth out of his mouth; Chang Sheng is on the side of the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager, and he can't stretch his hands long enough, nor can he say anything in his mouth." To be honest. We are old friends, so let me ask you a question, what do you think of our eldest girl?"

Jia Lian glanced at the book Wang Xifeng was reading, and said with a smile, "Since you intend to become Lu Buwei, you still ask me?"

"Everyone gathers firewood with high flames. I just ask you a question, and I feel at ease." Wang Xifeng fell on the chair, leisurely served tea and sipped it carefully, and saw Jia Lian with a smile on his face, and his bamboo and green arrow sleeves set off his face. Ru Guanyu, with a heroic appearance, raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that if Jia Lian went to Qianxiang country, what would happen to Baoyu?Seeing that he didn't say anything, he asked again, "What do you think? Don't look at my face, just look at Pan'er's, and you still refuse to nod?"

"I don't get involved in these matters." Jia Lian laughed.

Wang Xifeng was furious and said: "The relatives of the two families can be torn apart without mixing anything?"

"Then tear it slowly."

Wang Xifeng suppressed his anger, thought about it, and asked: "You helped Fu Qiufang enter the palace back then, how amazing you are, it shows that you are not without means, why didn't you want to help your sister?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "I will tell Pan'er about these things. Once I talk about it, he knows that I don't like to get involved, so he will naturally understand."

"Your father-in-law is in the House of Internal Affairs. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to say hello to each other? What's the matter?" Wang Xifeng sneered, and then threatened, "If the two families quarrel, the business inside and outside the capital will be fine. You Jia family don't even want to get involved, look at your family with so many people, where do you go for food?"

"In this way, the Jiangnan area..."

Seeing that Jia Lian was also threatening, Wang Xifeng calmed down and said with a smile, "My wife is impatient, so let's just say that. You can take the money and hand it over to the household department. As for the Xiande Concubine, we will talk about it later. The future will be long, Who is in a hurry?"

Jia Lian stood up, ordered some, and saw that there were 10 taels, so he called Zhao Tianliang in to collect the money. Seeing that Wang Xifeng was smiling, he said to her: "I have received a letter from Kuang Yanbing, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Next autumn On the next day, there will probably be another good news. Your ward will tell your concubine Xiande that if you want to make the Ninth Prince show off, you should ask her to put some thought into the matter of the Ninth Prince's catching Zhou, and catch something that is auspicious and good omen. Everyone is happy. I will also take care of it for you, and ask people to find a way to set the day when the good news comes on the day when the Ninth Prince catches the week."

Wang Xifeng was overjoyed, thinking that Jia Lian had a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and said that he would not help, so wouldn't he draw his sword to help again?So he hurriedly agreed.

Jia Lian thought to himself that the news of selling 10 taels to Wang Xifeng was not a loss or a debt, so he told Zhao Tianliang to collect the money and go out to ride home.

When I got home, I heard Jincai say: "Wang Zhongshun sent a letter, saying that the money owed by the second master has already been repaid."

"Understood, the money given by Grandma Xue is [-] for grandma, [-] for the eldest girl, and the remaining [-], which will be shared with the big guys during the Chinese New Year."

"Thank you, Second Master, for the reward." Jin Cai smiled slightly, and took the silver and went.

Jia Lian sat quietly in the room, shook hands, looked at her strangely colored nails, and suddenly coughed. After this, she couldn't stop, and coughed four or five times in succession. Her voice became hoarse before she stopped, and after she stopped, she saw Lin Daiyu standing by the door with a pale face holding the curtain, and after taking a sip of tea, she asked, "Why did you come to the front yard?"

"...Is Lian's second brother okay?" Daiyu couldn't help but reached out and grabbed the bead curtain. Seeing Jia Lian's face blushing from coughing, it was like seeing Lin Ruhai lying in bed seriously ill.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "There was a bit of wind on the way back. What do you want to say?"

Daiyu walked over slowly and whispered, "I don't know if Brother Lian can..."

Jia Lian covered her mouth and suddenly coughed twice.

Daiyu has been taking medicine all the year round since she was born. Seeing him coughing like this, she felt ominous in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Second Brother Lian, you should take good care of your body!" She didn't want to bother him at this moment, so she said, "I will report to the police. The sister-in-law Xunzhu in the Huanzhai has gone to talk."

Jia Lian nodded while still coughing. When the cough stopped, he glanced at his palm and saw some bloody scum in his palm. He thought that he shouldn't be able to ride a horse when he came back, so he took a handkerchief and wiped off the bloody scum in his palm. After hearing this, Xu Qingheng called him to take medicine and eat, so he went to the backyard.

After entering the room, Jia Lian sat on the kang, picking and choosing from the plate with chopsticks without much appetite.

Xu Qingheng held down his chopsticks with his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Have you taken the medicine sent to Shenji Camp?"

"Eat, eat." Jia Lian said perfunctorily.

Xu Qingheng said with a smile: "Looking at you like this, I know you haven't taken any medicine." Then she held the back of her hand to test his forehead, "Why do you look so bad?"

"The wind blew on the way back." Jia Lian laughed.

"Why don't you be more careful?" Xu Qingheng complained, and asked someone to heat up the kang.

While eating, suddenly Yuanyang came in and said, "Second Lord, the little eunuch from Eunuch Chang is here to invite Second Master to eat and go to the palace."

"Got it." Jia Lian said.

Xu Qingheng asked suspiciously: "Who is this?"

"It must be too emperor." Jia Lian said, took two mouthfuls of rice, drank the sour bamboo shoot soup, then rinsed his mouth and went out.

"Go home immediately after leaving the palace." Xu Qingheng chased after him and tied the cloak strap for him, and handed the medicine Wu'er sent to his mouth.

"Understood." Jia Lian said, pouring down the medicine, and went outside. When he got outside, he saw that Zhao Tianliang was preparing a horse, so he ordered him to change the sedan chair.Sitting in the sedan chair, he stared at the nails on his hands again and again, lost his mind for a while, and then got out of the sedan chair when he heard movement outside.

After getting out of the sedan chair, he followed Chang Sheng to the Taishang Palace.

"Is Aunt Miaoyu okay?" Chang Sheng asked with a smile.

Jia Lian covered her mouth with a handkerchief and nodded with a smile.

Chang Sheng has served the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager all the year round, and he has a lot of experience in health preservation. Seeing the color of his nails, his face changed drastically and he said softly, "Second Master Lian is young, why is he..." As he spoke, he heard Jia Lian coughing twice. Suddenly, I was startled again.

Jia Lian removed the veil and asked Chang Sheng to see some blood foam on it.

Chang Sheng asked suspiciously: "Second Master Lian, this is..."

Jia Lian nestled the handkerchief into a ball and stuffed it in Chang Sheng's palm, thinking that he couldn't continue to take Xu Qingheng's medicine, it would make his body weak, and he would die if he got a little cold, so he smiled and whispered to Chang Sheng Said: "My father-in-law looks at anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, so he will lead him to me. I will use this sad and sick body to get rid of him for you."

Chang Sheng held Jia Lian's handkerchief, and hurriedly hid the handkerchief in his sleeve. Seeing that there was a little blood on his pale lips, like a bright red peach blossom, he frowned again, thinking that if Jia Lian could Except for Dai Quan, that would be great; but this is wishful thinking, how can it be so easy to get rid of Dai Quan?After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "The Emperor Taishang just wanted to ask about Prince Zhongshun, Second Lord Lian just went back to him. When it comes to who is not pleasing to the eye..." As he was talking, he suddenly saw a A heroic young man in a lake blue brocade robe and a golden crown walked towards him.

"Jia Lian?" The boy slowly looked Jia Lian up and down with his hands behind his back.

"Exactly, I don't know if your Excellency is..."

"Ranked sixth."

"Sixth prince?" Jia Lian hurriedly bowed to pay his respects.

"Excuse me. Is this going to the Supreme Palace?" the sixth prince asked.

"Exactly." Jia Lian said with a smile.

Chang Sheng rolled his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Sixth prince, the Supreme Emperor is waiting, why don't you tell Second Lord Lian to turn around and talk to the sixth prince at Jin Lianchi in the imperial garden."

"Alright." The sixth prince said, and led a group of eunuchs to the west.

Jia Lian frowned, walked forward, and said with a barely audible smile: "Eunuch, don't you like the sixth prince?"

"...It was Dai Quan who didn't like him, so he did the next thing for Dai Quan, and asked Dai Quan to accept my love." Chang Sheng laughed.

Jia Lian thought to himself that Chang Sheng and Dai Quan had such a close relationship, and when the partial palace was close in front of them, they stopped talking, followed Chang Sheng to the palace, suddenly entered a warm place, and couldn't help coughing again. Fortunately, I held back.

Sitting in the Nuan Pavilion, the Supreme Emperor saw Jia Lian coming and asked him to excuse him, then asked, "How did the Xue family earn more than 100 million yuan?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Back to the Supreme Emperor, the servants are also puzzled."

"...Where did Prince Zhongshun's money come from?" The Supreme Emperor asked again.

Prince Zhongshun had previously told him that Hong Helong was in the hands of the King of Dong'an, and then he realized that many of his people either lost their positions or were transferred to other places without knowing it, or they lost contact for no reason.The same is true of him who should be the loyal prince, but who knows, he has another place where he can transfer money, which shows that the loyal prince has many things to hide from him.

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "I don't know."

"Hmph, he paid back the money for you, you still don't know?" The Supreme Emperor said angrily.

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "I really don't know, and I'm also very puzzled about it."

The Supreme Emperor suppressed his anger, and asked again for a long time: "Do you know who Prince Zhongshun is in contact with recently?"

Jia Lian shook his head again, "In the past six months, there have been a lot of things in the Shenji camp, and most of the subordinates stayed in the Shenji camp and did not often go to the Zhongshun Palace. I just heard from people in the palace that the prince has many friends. Who do you think the prince will follow?" It is not difficult for the family to move the money to use it."
