The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

"Second uncle, come over and look it up for me."

"Turn what?" Jia Zheng asked in a muffled voice.

"Turn it over..." Jia Lian was about to turn it over and say who was unlucky and who got rich recently, when he heard footsteps, he knew that he had already gone to court.

"Let's go, let's go." Like a thief, Jia Zheng dragged Jia Lian and rushed out, bumping into several old officials head-on, and turned his face away in shame.

Jia Lian humbly and politely met those old officials one by one, seeing Xu Yuhang and Xu Yuju's grandfather, Xu Zhi'an, the Minister of the Household Department, was also there, and said politely: "It's my lord's birthday, I can't congratulate him in person, I hope it's no wonder, lord."

Xu Zhi'an stroked his snow-white beard, smiled heartily and said: "If people don't come, it's when the heart comes."

Jia Lian said again and again: "Don't worry, my lord, my heart will definitely come."

Jia Zhengna wondered why Xu Zhi'an dared to ask for bribes blatantly, so Xu Zhi'an pulled Jia Lian and said to the other elders: "This is the sworn brother of my family Yuheng, Yuju, and Bizhou."

Jia Zheng suddenly realized, and sighed in his heart that Jia Lian was so capable that he even clinged to Xu's family.

"... Lian'er, the ancestor is still waiting at home." Jia Zheng couldn't get in the way, and refused to stay here to be pointed at by others, so he hurriedly urged Jia Lian to go home quickly and tell Jia Mu the good news.

Xu Zhi'an said: "Master Jia Er, let's go back first, I see that your second boy likes it very much, now I want to take him home and test his homework."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for pointing out my stupid nephew." Jia Zheng didn't dare to disobey. Then he remembered that Jia Zhu didn't listen to him. He always believed that Jia Lian was kind and righteous. Go to Xu Shangshu's house.So he first withdrew from the cabinet.

Jia Lian waited for Jia Zheng to leave, so he didn't bother to read the notice, helped Xu Zhi'an out of the cabinet, got into the sedan chair, and followed him all the way into Xu's house. In addition to Yu Yuji, Li Bizhou, and Yuan Jingfeng, there were three or four teenagers shooting pigeons in the front hall with bows and arrows.

"Why did fourth brother go out?" Xu Yuheng came over first, saw him wearing an official robe, and said with a sneer, "It must be your grandmother and uncle who asked you to intercede."

Jia Lian said: "Family and everything are prosperous, it's not a problem if the family is always in trouble."

Li Bizhou said: "Yuju, and I brought my fourth son here to change your clothes. Wearing such an official robe looks too eye-catching."

Xu Yujun agreed and called the fourth brother. After Jia Lian and Xu Zhian had left, he asked someone to go to the backyard to get his clothes, and led Jia Lian to change in his inner study.

In the east room of the inner study, Jia Lian just untied the jade belt around his waist, and saw an open "Tea Classic" with punctuation on the small table beside him. Punctuated the "Tea Classic"."

Xu Yujun threw a moon-white shirt to Jia Lian, and said disapprovingly, "Sister Wanting is messing around. It's hard for me to do sewing with my aunt, so I have to follow my sister-in-law to take care of it."

"It's weird, why is your grandma more expensive than your girl? Grandma can do it, but your girl can't?" Jia Lian held it in his hand carefully because he heard that Li Wanting made it.

Xu Yujue laughed and said, "How can this be the same? One is from my own family who married in, and no one else knows whether it is good or bad; the other is going to marry, and when he shows his meddling temper, wouldn't it scare my uncle?" The old lady said she would not let her join in." Seeing that Jia Lian was still watching, he said, "She showed it to us, the old lady told me to throw it away, and the eldest brother picked it up and threw it at me. The fourth brother looked interesting, Just take it."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "After all, it was made by a girl in the boudoir. If I took it, would it be..."

Xu Yujue chuckled, "It's not that girl who wrote it, but it's just the time, and the fourth brother will take it."

"If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Jia Lian laughed, wondering if only cousins ​​and cousins ​​in the Grand View Garden would be affectionate?Why is it that Li Wanting, a talented and beautiful girl, is so disliked by the Xu family brothers...

"When will Mrs. Li leave Beijing?"

Xu Yuyu smiled and said, "I won't be leaving Beijing for a while, and there is a little uncle who is going to get married at home."

Jia Lian secretly slandered Xu Yuheng and Xu Yuju brothers for their ignorance. After changing their clothes, when Quanfu and Quanshou wrapped the official robes and hats with satin wrappers, they put Li Wanting's punctuated "Tea Book" on them. In the burden, then go out with Xu Yuju.

I went to the outside of Xu's house again, and saw the old man Xu Zhi'an holding a bow and arrow frantically as a young man, competing with Li Bizhou to shoot pigeons.

Jia Lian watched from the sidelines, when Yuan Jingfeng gave him the bow and arrow, and hurriedly declined, "I haven't learned this yet."

Yuan Jingfeng smiled and said, "Just learn a little bit today." As he spoke, he thrust the bow and arrow into Jia Lian's hands.

Jia Lian couldn't get off the tiger, so he took a look at Li Bizhou's and Xu Zhi'an's shooting postures, and then he also took up his horse's steps, drew his bows fully, and first put on a full posture. Seeing the arrow fly ten steps away, it fell straight to the ground.

"I only think of you as modest..." Yuan Jingfeng regretted it first, and hurriedly taught Jia Lian by hand.

"Forget it, you're still half-baked. The second son of the Jia family came over to talk." Xu Zhi'an handed the bow and arrow to Li Bizhou, and still told his grandson to shoot the arrow, and led Jia Lian to the porch to wash his hands and sit down to drink tea.

Jia Lian stepped on the pear blossoms that had fallen all over the ground, followed him in, and saw that the hall in Jia's house was reserved for servants waiting for errands, and in Xu's house, it had been decorated as a resting place for men. After taking his seat, he took a sip of the tea in front of him. tea.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Xu Zhian smiled and said: "Whoever drinks my bitter tea will not say it is bitter, you are the only one who can bear it."

"Bitter also has a bitter taste."

Xu Zhi'an nodded, "What did you ask your second uncle to help you find out in the cabinet just now?"

Jia Lian put his hands on the mat, sat respectfully, hesitated and said: "The younger generation used to be like a girl raised in a boudoir, knowing nothing about the outside world. After passing the cabinet, I wanted to go in and have a look inside. Decree. Unexpectedly, I found the proclamation of my uncle's promotion at home, and saw that there were two proclamations from the doctor of Lantai Temple and the Yushi to Lao Ding You. I felt a little strange, so I wanted to ask my second uncle to help me look it up. Look further ahead, whose family suffered a mishap and made a windfall."

Xu Zhi'an nodded, and heard Xu Yuheng and Xu Yujue laughing vigorously in the yard. Even the mature Li Bizhou and Yuan Jingfeng looked light and light, rubbing the fingers on their fingers, and said for a long time: "Your uncle Lin I have been a doctor of Lantai Temple, I am afraid that I will get a fat job."

Jia Lian thought that Lin Ruhai would be a salt inspector in the future, and he was just a fat job, so he hurriedly said, "Why? Could it be that the saint has something to order uncle to do? Could it be that he met a master that no one else dared to impeach, and the saint deliberately Want to call Uncle Lin?" Thinking that Lin Ruhai would get a fat job in the future, that is why he accomplished this matter; and among the red mansions, the only one who "broke things" first was Qin Keqing. After death, Jia Zhen bought the coffin and Xue Pan sold the coffin. The one who revealed his name knew that the Xu family didn't have much contact with those princes, so he boldly asked, "Could it be the old thousand-year-old Prince Yizhong?"

Xu Zhi'an was extremely surprised, his hale eyes widened, and he said in a low voice: "How do you know that, kid? How many old officials in the court are still ignorant!"

Jia Lian had no choice but to make nonsense: "Even several Lantai Temple officials and censors have to avoid his sharp edge, which shows that he is a powerful master. Looking through the cabinet's edicts and announcements, there are many articles, counting and counting, only that The righteous and loyal prince is a thousand years old. It's a pity that such a person, even if my uncle sued him for a while, won the Sacred Heart, and was promoted, he would also offend that person's accomplices. I am afraid that Uncle Lin will not die if he beats a snake. The days ahead will not be easy either. But if Uncle Lin doesn’t act according to the ‘sacred order’, this doctor of Lantai Temple will do well.” After all, he intentionally guessed why he thought of Prince Yizhong by sighing for Lin Ruhai. Things are over.

Then I thought about how many imperial merchants there are, people like Prince Yizhong, who set up a coffin board in someone's family, is to give favor to that family, and Prince Yizhong chose Xue's family to buy the coffin board, which shows that Prince Yizhong and The Xue family may not have no contacts, but Xue Pan still called him "Prince Yizhong, old thousand years old" after hearing the bad news, which shows the respect of the Xue family for him; It may not have nothing to do with Prince Yizhong; Lin Ruhai is also the son-in-law of the Jia family, don't look at how he is now promoted and has a bright future. After he passed the exam, he may not have relied on the Jia family. Among the people he made friends, there should be a large number of the four major families circle of people.

If Lin Ruhai impeached Prince Yizhong according to his current thinking, and sued Prince Yizhong, he might not have offended the Jia family, the Wang family and those who had been in contact with him before.

He was fine when he was alive, and everyone saw that he was in an important position, so they naturally forgot about Prince Yizhong's affairs to curry favor with him; once he was gone, the remnants of Prince Yizhong were still there, and everyone was eager to get rid of the responsibilities, so how could they be willing? Take care of the orphaned daughter for him again?

Moreover, when Lin Ruhai was still alive, Lin Daiyu was treated coldly in Jia's mansion when she first entered Jia's mansion. The attitude of Rongxi Hall and Jia Zheng and his wife, who presided over Zhongfu, were particularly indifferent. There was no room or clothes for guests. It can be seen that Mrs. Wang and others did not want to accept Lin Daiyu into Jia's mansion, but they could not persuade Jia's mother; It's hard to resist, Mrs. Wang neglected Lin Daiyu carefully, and Jia's mother did not dare to stand up for Lin Daiyu because of her "justice". It can also be seen that Lin Ruhai also knew that she had offended a powerful person, so she was discouraged, no longer married and no longer expected to have children. The son inherited the family business, and sent the only blood under his knees to be raised in the Rongguo Mansion far away——Lin Daiyu lived in Jia's family for many years, and Lin Ruhai loved her like a treasure. How could she know nothing about her situation? There is nothing else to do - no matter how bad the Jia family is, there is still a shell that can still protect Lin Daiyu. Compared with the deep water in Lin Ruhai, the wind knife and frost sword in Jia's mansion are nothing.

Xu Zhi'an took a deep breath, "Nan'an, Beijing, Xining, and Dongping have close contacts. The Prince Yizhong has a very good personal relationship with the Zhongshun Palace, although it's not like your Jia family and Shijia, Wang's, and Xue's families. One loses all, one prospers, but we all share weal and woe. As you said, if you beat a snake and you won’t die, you will suffer endless troubles.” After sighing again and again, I thought that everyone in the Jia family would be overjoyed for Lin Ruhai’s promotion. Foresight and foresight, the only one who can see the joint behind this is the little boy in front of him.

Jia Lian shuddered, very glad that he couldn't remember the romance in "Dream of Red Mansions" but remembered the plots.Isn't the Palace of Zhongshun Prince Hua Xiren's ultimate husband-in-law, Jiang Yuhan's benefactor, even Jia Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan have changed their sweat towels?Could it be that the root of the trouble came from Prince Yizhong's "bad things"?

Seeing Jia Lian frowning and contemplating, Xu Zhi'an frowned slightly, looking more and more handsome, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever promised a kiss, kid?" After asking once, seeing that he was lost in thought, he called again: "Second boy?"

Jia Lian came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "The second wife once wanted to promise me her niece, but the master and wife refused, so it didn't work out." He wondered if Xu Zhian wanted him to be his grandson-in-law or grandson-in-law?But it doesn't matter, an above-average woman with a good father-in-law is enough to overwhelm the country, and he has no reason to refuse.
