The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

"The grass boat borrows arrows?" Lin Ruhai, because Jia Lian understood what he said, was also somewhat frank with him, "Who is the grass boat, and who do you borrow arrows from?"

Jia Lian pointed at himself and said: "The Jia family built a grass boat and borrowed the 'order arrow' from the saint to temporarily protect Prince Yizhong's mansion."

Liu Xianglian was puzzled and said, "What's the way? Isn't this setting yourself on fire?"

Lin Ruhai also waited for Jia Lian to explain in detail.

Jia Lian caressed the psychic gem, and repeated two times begging his elder sister Jing Huan to bless him to be promoted and get rich, and then said: "Since it is a grass boat, it must be empty. I also ask my uncle to justify the crimes of Jia's family in other provinces and write Report on the name of Rongguo Mansion. Although my nephew is incompetent, he still has an empty name. The sage has praised me, and I will definitely not deal with Rongguo Mansion right away, or he will talk about it; My children don’t know it yet, so we should make it public now, so that one day in the future, people from other provinces will make trouble and blame us inexplicably.”

"But what about Ling Jian?" Liu Xianglian understood that Jia Lian wanted to let everyone inside and outside Shenjing know that their family only had four households, and that the other Jia family members had nothing to do with him, but she couldn't understand that this remark had nothing to do with him. What does the former Yizhong Palace have to do with it?

Lin Ruhai laughed and said: "The sage will not dispose of the Rongguo Mansion, and the imperial decree must say some words about comforting the veterans. This is the 'order' to temporarily protect the Prince Yizhong's mansion. Otherwise, there is no reason why the Rongguo Mansion is a veteran, and Prince Yizhong is not a veteran. What's more, it will take half a year to conduct such an investigation, and the matter of Prince Yizhong can be postponed.He said again: "But the Prince Yizhong's mansion was hidden for a while, what will happen in the future?"

"The Jia family's method is feasible, and the Yizhong and Zhongshun families will naturally learn it. Before the birthday of the Supreme Emperor, I encouraged them to also use the trick of "borrowing arrows from straw boats". Prince Yizhong thought that the saint would give him amnesty and willingly built a grass boat. But this time, he wanted to shoot Prince Yizhong's house full of holes and linger on his last breath. Uncle thought, the right arm who was originally powerful is now dead but not stiff. Who? At that time, who should be thinking about scraping bones to cure poison, cutting flesh to treat sores? And who is at the end of the road, thinking about dying and getting back?" Jia Lian said softly.

Lin Ruhai hesitated and said: "This method is very good, but I'm afraid that the sage will not follow this method after setting up the chessboard."

"It depends on how my uncle persuades the sage. It is said that I, us dukes, the rest are just dudes who only know how to drink and gamble. Without the help of the sage, they collapsed within two years. Those Prince's Mansions are the most difficult to deal with. If it wasn't for the fact that Prince Yizhong's old thousand-year-old is getting old, and the subordinates are not very close to the Supreme Emperor, the saints would not use the Prince Yizhong's mansion for surgery. There is a saying that good steel should be used on the blade instead of dealing with it. We, why not save our energy to deal with important people." Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile, and then sighed intentionally, "Uncle, don't look at what I said earlier, if Uncle and Aunt really have something, we will not be easy to take care of Sister Yu Son? In order to comfort the old lady, she will also raise Sister Yu as a girl in the family."

To put it bluntly, what Lin Ruhai cares about now is his official career, and what Jia Lian cares about is not to offend the Zhongshun Palace. If there is a way to make these two things come true, then everyone will be happy.

Lin Ruhai smiled. The population of the Lin family is sparse, and the distant relatives of several clans are also scattered in various provinces. Although they have a family name, they are like strangers who have nothing to do with each other. He couldn't trust other people—even if he could, that family didn't have the ability to protect his daughter well.Besides, Jia Lian never mentioned the words asking him to dismiss his post or to pretend to be sick and tell his old age, but he felt that his words were very pleasant, so he nodded and gradually eliminated the barrier.

After dark, Jia Lian led Liu Xianglian down the teahouse first, Lin Ruhai waited for a while, and then led the servant out of the teahouse, and returned to the yamen through the back door of Lantai Temple. After much deliberation, after seven or eight days, First went to face the saint, and then half a month later, there was a report on the impeachment of the Rongguo Mansion. The report only said that the descendants of the Jia family in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian and Jia Lian, committed slavery and raped the daughters of the people as wives.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, hearing that it was Lin Ruhai who impeached the Rongguo Mansion, everyone in the capital was horrified, and they all believed that Lin Ruhai had completely turned against the Rongguo Mansion.

The news spread quickly, and there were fewer and fewer pommel horses in front of Rongguo Mansion. Jia's mother asked Jia Lian that those impeached by Lin Ruhai were all children from other provinces and had nothing to do with Rongguo Mansion. I can't wait to do anything, so I play jokes with Baoyu and Xiangyun every day with peace of mind.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion kept their law and order, but the people in other families were not like that.

In the Ningguo Mansion to the east, Jia Zhencai buried her mother in a grand manner. When she heard that Lin Ruhai had sued the Rongguo Mansion, she was afraid that she would be implicated by the Rongguo Mansion. I went to Youshi's room and saw Youshi hugged Xichun contentedly and did not let go, humming a little song, because he blamed Xichun for his mother's death, and refused to stay in this room for a long time. In the front hall, when I saw Jia Rong and Jia Qiang dressed up in greasy hair and pink faces going out, I yelled angrily, and when they came over obediently, I sneered and said, "My wife's bones are not cold, where are you going? Woolen cloth?"

Jia Rong hurriedly lowered her hands and laughed, "Father, some fools don't know that our Ningrong and Rongfu have separated, so my son wants to make a big show so that we won't be troubled by the Xifu."

"Hmph, I think you've been messing around without drinking for a day, and your skin is itchy." Jia Zhen sneered, and beckoned Jia Rong to take two steps forward, "Where are the two of you?"

Jia Rong hurriedly said with a stern face: "Father, don't think about it. You didn't see how many gentlemen spoke well for him when his wife was at the funeral. In the East Mansion, because Uncle Lian acted quickly, it was the old lady who spoke. It's not easy for people to intervene; here, the gentlemen outside have already pleaded for Lai Er, if we ignore it, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the gentlemen outside? Besides, when the wife went to the funeral, Lai Er made a lot of money for us. What about silver." The reason why he said this was because Nalai Er tactfully flattered him, and he had to say this because he was soft-spoken.

Jia Zhen was so choked up by these few words that she really saw the "slave bullying the master" at this time, so she said to Jia Rong: "Don't go fooling around, just go to Wang's house for a better life. Turn around and ask how this matter will end."

Jia Rong laughed and said, "How can it end? It's not our Ningguo Mansion who are suing."

"Young Hu, hurry up."

Jia Rong quickly agreed, because Jia Zhen wanted to keep Jia Qiang to talk, so she didn't take Jia Qiang with her, but took eight young servants with her, and went all the way to Wang's house in a grand way.

The Wang family is the descendant of the prince of the county under the command of the Du Taiwei.This Wang family's residence is only slightly smaller than Ning Rong's duke's mansion according to regulations, and in terms of wealth and magnificence, it is even worse than it.

Jia Rong came to the door with Jia Zhen's name card, waited for a while in the front hall, and was led to Wang Ziteng's study in the inner courtyard by his servants. After entering the inner study, he saw Wang Ziteng sitting cross-legged on the heated kang, which seemed to be sleeping. Appearing to have just woken up from drunkenness, he hurriedly handed the hangover soup to Wang Ziteng, and said what he wanted in the future.

Wang Ziteng frowned and said: "Then Master Lin really doesn't listen to people's persuasion, he actually took it seriously..." Then he chuckled, "Go back and tell your father that the people Master Lin sued are from the Jia family in other provinces, even the family members of the same clan No, it's not a problem."

"Prince Yizhong is a thousand years old..." Jia Rong rolled her eyes, and saw that there was a silver-red curtain of assorted Japanese satin and tapestry hanging on the door of the inner and outer rooms, and beside the curtain was an imported glass bottle placed on a pear wood treasure chest. Next to the glass bottle is a box of snuff gold star glass boxes depicting blond-haired and blue-eyed foreign women. Looking at the other boxes, there are foreign goods inlaid with gold and jade everywhere, and I feel that the Wang family is really rich.

"Take it if you like it. Your great-grandfather once took care of the tributes and congratulations from various countries, and now there are still many foreign goods that are tributed by various countries." Wang Ziteng yawned, and said sleepily: "Don't worry about your father. Zhong Lao Qiansui has moved his fur, and Master Lin is about to use his muscles and bones, how dare Master Lin poke that hornet's nest?"

Jia Rong promised yes, but repeatedly refused, and waited for Wang Ziteng to ask him to take it, so she put the snuff box that exposed the shoulders of Bai Fufu's foreign woman into her waist purse, thanked Wang Ziteng, and saw that Wang Ziteng kept rubbing her temples, He hurriedly retreated out, met Wang Ren outside the door again, heard Wang Ren scolding Liu Xianglian a few words, and saw Wang Ren leading a green sedan chair out, looking at the tassels woven with silk sash on the sedan chair. Embellished with a few exquisite beads, he hurriedly asked Wang Ren: "Is the lady in the sedan chair?"

Wang Ren wiped the sweat from his neck with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "It's such a hot day, my wife is impatient to leave. It's your girl."

When Jia Rong heard that it was Wang Xifeng, she hurriedly bowed to the sedan chair, "Where are you going, Miss?"

Wang Xifeng lifted the curtain of the sedan chair with her hand, revealing a lotus face, and said with a light smile: "A few little sisters were joking together, and I also received the post, so go and have a look." He pursed his lips and smiled again: "Let me ask you, what has Second Master Lian been busy with in the past few days?"

"Hey, Second Uncle Lian over there is amazing. He is putting his life on the line and studying behind closed doors. Those of us playboys who have no ambitions, we can't see him even if we want to."

Wang Ren sneered and said: "I'm afraid he will stay behind closed doors, what he is reading is not a book." There is a saying that the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. He was sure that Jia Lian was doing those things that were neither human nor ghost in the study under the guise of reading.

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, put down the curtain, took his left hand to stroke the shining golden bracelet on his right hand, and urged Wang Ren to lead the sedan chair to go out. She can read and write, just looking at the broken roses on the top, she inquired in every possible way, and finally found such a family that is related to their Wang family and Xu family, closed her eyes and leaned on the wall of the sedan chair to rest, waiting If there is any movement outside the sedan chair, you know that you have entered the house of the former Ministry of Industry member Wailang Chu.

The sedan chair was carried directly into the backyard, and when I got off the sedan chair, there was a greenery in my eyes.

"Sister Wang is here." Miss Chu Ruhui stood beside the sedan chair, and when Wang Xifeng came out of the sedan chair, she stepped forward and took her hand. Seeing that Wang Xifeng was wearing a scarf-bottomed plum pattern round collar, She was wearing a red-purple horse-face skirt, and the red golden phoenix with beads on her head and a pair of oriental beads hanging from her ears complemented each other, so bright and moving that she felt ashamed of herself.

Wang Xifeng said with a sense of loss: "My mother passed away many years ago. I heard from the nanny a few days ago that I realized that my mother and the family were originally relatives. I haven't seen each other for many years. Please don't blame me."

Chu Ruhui smiled and said: "You are too polite, you are young, and the elders don't tell you, how would you know?" In detail, the old lady in Wang Xifeng's mother's family is the old lady in the Chu family now. Jun.

"The old lady is waiting. Follow me quickly." Chu Ruhui saw Wang Xifeng's handsome appearance and quick-talking, and felt that the sick old lady would be happy when she heard that her niece's daughter had come to her home, and she was busy. He led Wang Xifeng to the garden where the old lady of Chu was recuperating.

Wang Xifeng carefully looked at the pavilions and verandahs of Chu's house, and saw that the Chu's house was cramped and cramped everywhere, far from the grandeur and grandeur of the prince's house she had visited in the past. When she entered a small and exquisite garden, she saw a crawling There were two servants standing behind the fence full of vines. Looking carefully at the servants' clothes, they looked like the third-class servants of the Wang family. She sniffed in her heart, but this was also expected by her. If the Chu family was very wealthy, How could the Wang family have broken ties with the Chu family?When you enter again, you can smell the fragrance of medicine all over the room.

Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu also died of illness one after another, and the Chu family gradually declined.

At this moment, Mrs. Chu heard that the girl from the Wang family had come to her house looking for relatives. She helped the two little maids struggle to get up from the bed, sat in the light room, looked at Wang Xifeng with a smile, and said, "Sure enough, you are exactly the same as your mother." carved out of it."

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and smiled, knelt down and kowtowed gracefully: "I didn't know in the past, I didn't come to the old lady to fulfill my filial piety, so please don't blame the old lady."

"You child, why do you blame you?" The old lady Chu smiled hurriedly, and then looked at the pile of presents packed in brocade boxes sent by the maid behind Wang Xifeng, her heart became more and more joyful, coughed a few times, and asked carefully Regarding the matter of Wang Ziteng and Wang Zisheng, Chu Ruhui asked Wang Xifeng to go out to see Mrs. Chu.

There is a saying that people are poor and short-sighted, the Chu family watched Wang Xifeng standing in front of her like a fairy, how could she not flatter her, a group of people surrounded her and asked her to sit on the kang, and took treasures for many years When the good tea comes out, there must be two praises for her in the last three sentences.

"Your brother is also practicing martial arts now, and he wants to be an idle official in the Beijing camp, but no one promotes him." After talking for a long time, Mrs. Chu, who was sitting in the main seat, pressed her fingers on a thread protruding from her skirt. It was difficult to get the words out of my mouth.

Wang Xifeng smiled brightly and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Uncle is now serving as the military envoy of the Beijing Camp. If Auntie Biao doesn't speak up when she has difficulties, it seems like we won't draw our swords to help."

Seeing that Wang Xifeng answered happily, Mrs. Chu served her tea and snacks more carefully and attentively.

After eating a cup of tea, Wang Xifeng asked Mrs. Chu, "I was also very puzzled. Since my cousin has a problem, why don't I go to my relative Xu's family to talk about it?"

Mrs. Chu hurriedly said: "Then don't dare to go, their family is getting bigger and bigger every year, poor relatives like us, but our ancestors have some contacts with them, how dare we stand by their door now?"

"I don't agree with what Aunt Biao said. There is no such thing as poverty. Even the emperor has several poor relatives. Besides, who can predict who will not have a difficult time? The more difficult the time, the more It's time to communicate with each other, this is the truth for relatives to advance and retreat together." Wang Xifeng said seriously.

Mrs. Chu kept silent, if she was willing to go out and beg for help, she would have begged at Wang's family long ago.

Chu Ruhui pursed her lips and smiled, saying that there is nothing to do to be courteous, and she is either rape or stealing. She never expected that the Wang family, whose eyes are high above the top, will come to the door and ask for something, so she said with a smile: "The third master of the Xu family will get married in two days. We also wanted to send a generous gift, to congratulate in a dignified manner, but the family is stretched, how can we scrape together the money for the wedding banquet?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "I have my own, but my aunt at home doesn't like to go out. I follow her, and my experience is also short. Now I want to go to someone's scholarly family to open my eyes. I go?"

Mrs. Chu didn't dare to go to Xu's house to make a fool of herself.

Chu Ruhui immediately tugged at her sleeves with her hand, and quickly responded, "We are all petty, and I wish Sister Wang could support us."

Seeing that her wish was easily fulfilled, Wang Xifeng was overjoyed, she just said to ask someone to bring a congratulatory gift, and then she resigned.

After Wang Xifeng left, Mrs. Chu looked at the old furniture and objects in the room, and felt that the neck of the good clothes she was wearing at the bottom of the box was a little irritating, so she wiped her hand on the back of the collar, wondering: "Why bother to promise her?" Where did the clothes and sedan chairs for going out come from?"

Chu Ruhui said: "It's because my mother blindly belittled herself and refused to associate with relatives after my father left, which made life more difficult for the family. Now it's so easy for relatives to find them, and it's hard for them to associate with her. Is it okay to drive people out?"

Mrs. Chu was silent, then smiled suddenly: "The Uncle Wang who sent your sister Wang here is tall and handsome, but I don't know if he kissed you or not."

Chu Ruhui blushed, she understood what Mrs. Chu meant, and she refused to tell Mrs. Chu too much.
