The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

The sun was scorching hot in May, and there were already people on the streets of Jinling City picking up freshly picked water chestnuts and lotus pods for sale.

Xue Pan listened to Xu Yuheng and Li Bizhou talking about each other, and said in awe, "Second brother Lian can also be like them, you are the same as you, and I am also the same?" The seal was still stuck, and he passed by his shop again, and saw that the door of his shop, which had always been a thriving business, was empty, thinking that even their family was also implicated?I heard people muttering on the street all the way, although I couldn't hear clearly, but looking at it, it was obvious that they were talking about the ridiculous things that happened in Jia's house yesterday.

When I got to the gate of Jia's old house, I saw that the old house was very lively, and the people who came and went were all decent servants from various families.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Xu, and Uncle Xue are here." Zhao Tianliang, who was seeing off the guests, saw these three coming, and immediately called someone to meet the leading horse, and then asked someone to tell Jia Lian. Seeing Xu Yuheng, he also brought a generous gift. , and called someone to respond again.

"Is your grandpa okay?" Li Bizhou asked.

"Uncle Li, the master ate a bowl of fish roe porridge last night, and listened to the jokes told by the second master this morning, and ate more than half a bowl of porridge."

"Where's your second grandfather?"

"Second Master was not idle. In a fit of anger, he detained the Second Master and the Second Wife. He wanted to take care of the Master and interrogate who murdered the Master. He didn't sleep until the fourth watch."

Li Bizhou and Xu Yuheng nodded, and went in together with Xue Pan. Just looking at the Jia family's old house, it was like a new world. Smiles, especially the peonies, peonies, and hibiscus in jade pots, white lotus, red lotus, and green lotus in porcelain vats, and the blossoming flowers that come and go are even better for this one yesterday. The old house of the funeral has added a bit of vitality.

"Where did these flowers come from?" Xu Yuheng asked curiously.

Zhao Tianliang followed behind with his hands down and said, "This is sent by Mr. Wang San. Mr. Wang said that Mr. Wang is not in good health. He has been bored in the house for a long time, and his health is getting better and better. He should be asked to enjoy these flowers. Have fun."

Li Bizhou, Xu Yuheng, and Xue Pan didn't know that Wang Zisheng's move was because of the [-]th Anti-Rebellion. They all thought that Wang Zisheng was guilty of burying Jia Amnesty alive. Li Bizhou and Xu Yuheng snorted coldly. .

As those flowers entered Jia She's courtyard, Xu Yuheng couldn't help but laugh.

But it turns out that Jia Lian and Yingchun are filial piety, seeing the beautiful weather today, they specially moved out the beauty couch, and asked people to put colorful flowers beside the couch. With jade pillows, embroidered quilts, and surrounded by fragrant fragrances, it is extremely elegant, but Jia She, who has gray hair and beard and is old and sallow, nestled on his head, is really a distaste for the scenery.

"The three of you are here. Please feel welcome if you are far away. Don't blame me." Jia Lian came out of the room in a hurry, holding Jia Amnesty's medicine in his hand. Let Li Bizhou, Xu Yuheng, and Xue Pan enjoy the flowers and talk.

Xu Yuheng glanced at Jia She on the beauty's couch from time to time, thinking that the sallow and wrinkled Jia She is there, who wants to enjoy the flowers?But I knew that this was Jia Lian's filial piety, and he didn't want to stay too far away from Jia She, so he hurriedly greeted Jia She, and seeing Jia She answered with a grunt, he sat down at the square table on the side porch, and saw the square table. There were a few pieces of paper with strange symbols on them, and on the paper, I wrote down carefully why this symbol should be used, and sighed: "Second Brother Lian still has time to do this?" For him, how could Jia Lian do this.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "At first I didn't know where I was taken by the second master's people, and I was terrified, so I made a mistake in a panic, so I concentrated on thinking about the punctuation that brother Yuheng said earlier. Scared like before."

"It's so." Xu Yuheng sighed.

Li Bizhou took the green tea, took a sip, and seeing Xu Yuheng's praises, he thought to himself, "Didn't Jia Lian propose the four words of punctuation first?" "How is Sister Yingchun? My mother said, if you are really noisy, she will ask someone to pick up Sister Yingchun and stay there for two days."

Jia Lian said: "The elder sister got better because of her father's illness. She got better yesterday, but it's not easy to disturb my aunt." After that, he asked someone to ask Yingchun to write a letter of greeting. Forward to Mrs. Li.

Li Bizhou nodded, and went to read the punctuation that Jia Lian had transcribed. After reading it, he couldn't help applauding his explanation.

Jia Lian saw that his words were unfounded, so he picked up a pen, thought about it, and wrote on the paper, "It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and the passers-by on the road want to die. May I ask where is the restaurant? The shepherd's rhyme refers to Xinghua Village." Write down "It rains heavily during the Ching Ming Festival. Passers-by on the road want to die. May I ask the restaurant, where is it? The shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village." Finally, "It rains during the Qingming Festival, and passers-by want to die. May I ask the restaurant where is it?" Where? There is a shepherd boy, pointing to Xinghua Village."? "It rains during the Qingming Festival, and there are many passers-by on the road, wanting to die. Let me ask the restaurant: where is the shepherd boy? Point to Xinghua Village."

"What you say is useless. Why don't you try it with the punctuation and see how to break the sentence, but you can't make it." Jia Lian put the pen back to its original place and showed what he had written to Li and Xu. .

Li Bizhou and Xu Yuheng read the passage, first nodded for the punctuation, and then marveled at Jia Lian's bad calligraphy in just a short period of time. It can be seen how much effort he spent on writing. I watched it with relish for half a day.Afterwards, Xu Yuheng also picked up a pen, and wrote a long fu with iron and silver hooks, and added punctuation to this fu.

Jia Lian had never read this Fu before, and because the meaning of this Fu was too obscure, he still couldn't understand the whole text after reading it, but he looked at it silently with his face on his face, nodding his head from time to time in exclamation.

Xue Pan was also ignorant, he was inferior to Jia Lian in his ability to put on airs, so after a while, he scratched his head and head in boredom, thinking about how to lure Xu Yuheng, Li Bizhou, and Jia Lian to drink and listen to the theater.

"Pan'er, show the Fu to the master." Seeing that Xue Pan was getting impatient, Xu Yuheng gave the Fu to Xue Pan and asked Xue Pan to give it to Jia Amnesty, who was "going into the flowers when he is old".

Xue Pan couldn't wait to get up from this square table, took the paper, and impatiently glanced at it, then walked towards Jia She, who was squinting and admiring the lotus in the sun, "My lord, come and see how Mr. Xu's writing is." .” After finishing speaking, he handed the paper to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty's eyes were dazzled by the sun, and it took a long time for them to heal. He squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He first clicked his tongue and praised: "Good words...good words." Then he suspected that his eyes were dazzled, so he moved closer to look. Seeing that there were more tadpoles, circles, and fishing hooks on the Jinxiu article, he became angry again, pointed at Xue Pan and coughed repeatedly, then cursed in a hoarse voice: "You bastard...how dare you mess around on Jinxiu, Jinxiu articles... ...this article is something you can blaspheme?"

Xue Pan was scolded innocently, but Jia She was seriously ill and couldn't see him as well. He was sprayed with saliva all over his face. go around.

"Master Xu, why do you want to harm me?" Xue Pan said innocently.

But Jia Lian sighed: "Even my father is like this, it can be seen..." He shook his head regretfully. Even Jia She, an old man who doesn't study much, has such an attitude, which shows that those Confucians who are dead on reading are less likely to accept it. These.

Xu Yuheng frowned, but Li Bizhou, who was usually not very enthusiastic, said at this moment: "The road ahead is long, if you don't even have the courage to do this, you might as well go home drunk and die."

In a word, Jia Lian and Xu Yuheng were inspired again.

Although Xue Pan knew that Xu Yuheng wanted him to scold Jia She on purpose, he didn't know that Jia She cherished Xu Yuheng's handwriting when he first saw it, and when he saw the punctuation between the lines, he thought it was Xue Pan's nonsense. So he scolded Xue Pan for desecrating the splendid article.Since he didn't know, Xue Pan seemed to understand Jia Lian, and he admired Jia Lian more and more in his heart. In the past, people said that Lian's second brother didn't like reading like him, but now how can he see that Lian's second brother knows a lot?

At noon, Jia Lian invited Li Bizhou, Xu Yuheng, and Xue Pan to stay for dinner. After the meal, Xu Yuheng left a few books for Jia Lian to read. Seeing that Jia Zheng's family was no longer able to make a comeback, he went home with Li Bizhou. .

"Second brother Lian is so amazing, and you are so proficient in those who know everything." Without Xu Yuheng and Li Bizhou, Xue Pan suddenly regained his spirits, touched Jia Lian secretly, and said in a low voice, "Second brother Lian will take time to follow me. Go for a drink and be back in half a day, so there's nothing to delay."

"Before Mao grows up, you think about those things all the time. You are not afraid of getting involved in any lawsuits, and people will kill you fiercely."

Jia Lian's words were exactly the same as what Xu Yuheng said yesterday. Xue Pan shuddered, but Jiangshan's nature cannot be changed easily. He felt that Li Bizhou's and Xu Yuheng's words were tasteless, not as interesting as those bamboo strips and girls in the restaurant, so he laughed. Let me say goodbye again.

Just at this time, Quan Fu took the post and said, "Second Lord, the magistrate of Mei County in Fengtai County is here to deliver the post again."

"Don't bother with him." Jia Lian didn't have the time to argue with a clown.

Quan Fu smiled and said: "It's fine to ignore him, I see that the magistrate of Mei County probably doesn't even have to be a Zhima official. He Zhifu sent someone to say that the accounts have been settled, and our shop's failure to open does not hinder the case. Our shop can tear off the seal and re-open today. As for the private shop owned by our wife, He Zhifu said that it must be returned to the public according to the family rules of our Jia family. Why don't he decide and change it? The deeds of those shops were changed, and the name of the second master was directly changed."

At this time Xue Pan was still standing with Jia Lian by the gatehouse of Jia Amnesty Court, because it was rumored that those privately owned shops belonged to Mrs. Wang, so he had no choice but to congratulate Jia Lian without embarrassment.

When Jia Lian heard this, he just smiled, and when he saw that Xue Pan was about to leave, he pointed to him and said with a smile: "So I just came with Li and Xu brothers. As soon as they leave, you see that I have something to ask for, immediately I have to say goodbye too."

Xue Pan patted his chest with his hand, making the fan pouch and jade pendant on his waist jingle, "Second Brother Lian is too contemptuous of people, do I look like that kind of person?" Then he asked: "Second Brother Lian If you want to ask for something, what is it?"

Jia Lian said: "You have no control over this matter. Go home and ask Aunt Xue or your uncle, and say that I beg your Xue family to help recommend some smart shopkeepers. If there are, I will be very grateful. , if not, that's okay, don't worry too much."

Xue Pan remembered that the people in Jia's shop were all locked up in the prison, and immediately assured him: "It's just a few shopkeepers, and there are quite a few at home. In the next two days, I can give them to Lian's second brother. Send ten shopkeepers here." After speaking proudly, he resigned from Jia Lian, and when he went out, he saw a small sesame official walking around in front of a sedan chair with a sad face, and thought to himself that this was the county magistrate of Mei. Get on the horse and walk away.

"Where are you going to loose loose now, sir?" the servant following Xue Pan laughed and asked.

Xue Pan was about to talk about going to Cuihonglou, when he suddenly reined in the reins, and patted his forehead heavily in frustration. Since his father left, he didn't know much about economics and world affairs, and he was able to call Xue Pan only because of the help of the old man at home. The family's business continued, and now, he promised Jia Lian that he would recommend the big shopkeeper to him, so where would he go to find the big shopkeeper?He didn't want to lower his face to reject Jia Lian, let alone tell Aunt Xue, so he had to go to the next door to find his uncle to discuss.

His uncle didn't dare to be the head of their house, so he only told Xue Pan that if he refused Jia Lian again, he would surely offend Jia Lian, Jia She and his son; If you hurt your own family, firstly, it will damage the business of your own family and chill the hearts of the old people, and secondly, it will be tantamount to turning against Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng. It will not be easy to reconcile in the future.

Hearing what his uncle said was reasonable, Xue Pan wandered the streets for a long time and dared not go home. Thinking of Wang Zisheng, he wanted to please Jia Amnesty, let alone him, so he could not refuse, but he agreed, what should the Xue family do?I just feel like the overlord of Chu who has lost the black horse and concubine Yu, facing the river, without the domineeringness of the past.
