The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

"Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want—" Feng Ziying said this suddenly for some reason.

Jia Lian didn't answer his words, but listened to the imperial doctor in the room performing scraping, acupuncture, and decoction, as if all eighteen martial arts were displayed on Jia Zhu, and he didn't dare to go away. He wanted to persuade Feng Ziying to go back first. Seeing that he refused, I sat with him on the porch, and when it was daylight, I saw Uncle Xing Xing Dequan coming.

Xing Dequan said: "Second master and second wife are not easy to come here, but I am here, so the old lady sent me to see what happened."

"I'm sorry to trouble uncle. Uncle goes back and tells the old lady that brother's condition is said to be all right. I'll watch over here. If there's anything else, I'll send a letter back immediately." Jia Lian yawned, thinking of Aunt Xing, San My uncle came to Rongguo Mansion yesterday to say goodbye, and asked Uncle Xing, "What does third uncle do?"

Xing Dequan said with a smile: "Miss sister is a little older, where can I find a good one? She is an old bachelor who feeds the whole family by herself. The second sister is a matchmaker and works as a shopkeeper in other people's shops. Fortunately, the young lady is not I despise him and treat him as a person.”

Jia Lian laughed and said, "If that's the case, it's okay to ask him to help take care of us in our shop."

Uncle Xing begged for this, poured tea gratefully for Jia Lian and Feng Ziying, and said, "I went over to say hello to you yesterday. When the old man saw such an unworthy brother-in-law, he rewarded them with 100 taels of silver and called them They bought a clean small yard to live in; they got 20 taels of silver from the old lady, a large bag of clothes, shoes and socks, and two collars of silk curtains and two feet; the second wife got ten taels of silver, a bag of her old clothes The second girl only said that there were still some unimportant big wooden things in the warehouse, and told them to just come and tell her what furniture was missing after buying the yard. Now that the second master gives me an errand, the days are not bad. "As he said, he complained in his heart that Mrs. Xing refused to take care of their siblings in the past. If it had been like this, the life of the Xing family would not be so difficult now-although it looks like poor relatives are fighting the autumn wind, life is better after all. many.He went to the room to see how Jia Zhu was doing, and saw that Li Wan's eyes were red and swollen like peaches from crying, and he sent a few words for Li Wan, and then hurried out to Jia's house.

In the past, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang would not use Xing Dequan, but now that they have divided the clan with Dongfu, it is not easy to ask Jia Zhen to help with things, and it would be contemptuous to ask someone to go. The young and the old had their own errands, and Xing Dequan was the only idler in front of him, so he ordered him.

When Xing Dequan entered the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion, he was surrounded by Jiamu and Mrs. Wang's maids and went to Jiamu's Rongqing hall.

He had never received this kind of courtesy in the past, and Xing Dequan was very grateful. Following the servant girls into the Rongqing Hall, he saw Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Yuan Chun looking at him anxiously. He talked about what the family had seen and heard, and then explained in detail what Jia Lian and Li Wan had brought back.

Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief, "With brother Lian here, Zhu'er will be fine."

Mrs. Wang straightened up and sat listlessly on the chair, secretly scolded Li Wan for being a bastard, and then asked, "Then why didn't you bring me back?"

Sitting on the couch, Jiamu hugged Baoyu and Xiangyun and scolded: "What kind of bastard are you talking about? Even if you have a headache, the in-laws will keep them for two days, right?"

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, and thought to herself that she was really confused. Isn't this a good opportunity to get back together with Li Shouzhong?It was time to ask Jia Zheng to come to the door to thank him, and shake hands with the Li family to make peace, and then he was about to speak. When Jia's mother stared at him, he couldn't help but shudder, not daring to say what he wanted to say about being intimate with the Li family while the iron was hot.

Jia's mother said to Pearl: "Ask the kitchen to bring out the old duck soup that has been simmering for half a day, and the fresh wild vegetables sent by Brother Zonglifen are boiled for your uncle to eat. The wild vegetables should only be boiled in hot water once and sprinkled slightly Some fine salt, if it is really made too finely, it will lose its taste."

Xing Dequan hastily declined and dared not accept it.

"Don't bother the two masters with one thing. After the uncle has eaten the food, I have to bother the uncle to bring some clothes, shoes and socks of Zhu'er and Lian'er." Jiamu said with a smile.

Xing Dequan was flattered, and he agreed again and again, and followed a little girl to eat in the side room of Jiamu Courtyard.

"Old lady, this is Zhu Er and Li Jijiu..."

Mother Jia sneered, watching Mrs. Wang, whose eyeballs were spinning wildly, wishing to get married to Li Shouzhong's family immediately, and then glanced at Jia Zheng, who looked impatient even though she didn't speak, and sighed: "Haste makes waste, now If you come to the door, the Li family may not throw Zhu'er out. Don't worry, Lian'er has a sense of proportion and will definitely ask our Jia family to shake hands with the Li family to make peace."

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and pinched the handkerchief, thinking that it was of no use, it was just adding bricks and tiles to the big house and making the big house more proud.

Jia Zheng lowered his head, not daring to go against what Jia Mu wanted.

Jia She was idly waiting to say something sarcastic, and because he secretly got close to his concubine, he felt that his waist was very weak, so he pretended to ask someone to take out the bezoar, dog treasure and other suitable medicinal materials that were placed in his yard, and keep them for shouting. After the man gave it to Jia Zhu, he asked lazily, "Mother, let's wipe the dominoes twice."

Mother Jia was taken aback.

Jia Zheng frowned tightly.

"...There is nothing left or right." Jia Mu was still prestige, and Jia Amnesty immediately became timid.

After the incident with Zhang Cai's daughter, Jia Amnesty "couldn't hold back" twice in a row, every time he went out of the room, several people looked at him ominously, making him fearful and afraid to be more sexual. , I'm afraid that one of them can't hold back, and dies, and there's nothing to do with the money.So he thought about finding something to do in Jia Mu's yard, and also diverted his lust and heart away.

Mother Jia had the time to play with her grandchildren, so she didn't have the heart to look at her two sons with beards and old faces in Caiyi to entertain their relatives, her face paled a little, and then she was afraid that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang would leave her and be behind her back. Li Shouzhong's mischief made Li Shouzhong more and more unwilling to get close to Jia's family, so he nodded, and asked Parrot and Hu Po to set up a table to get the dominoes, and at the same time asked Yuan Chun to wipe the cards with him, and ordered Mrs. Wang to sit beside her and watch the cards for her. .

In this way, no one in the second room who can be in charge of the affairs will leave Jia Mu's nose. Although Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng, and Yuan Chun are impatient, they have nothing to do.

Xing Dequan had a hearty meal, and then followed Pearl into the Rongqing Hall. He was surprised to see Jia's mother wipe the cards with two bearded sons, and led Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, and Li Wan. and took the medicinal materials such as bezoar and dog treasure, and went out with Jincai and Lin Zhixiao again, but did not go out of Ningrong Street. Seeing Jia Rong and a few younger generations of Ningguo Mansion waving at him, he had to go Promise two sentences.

"Master Uncle, let's go to listen to Xingguan's opera, are you going?" Jia Rong raised her eyebrows slightly, intending to lead Xing Dequan to tell others about the absurd things in the Rongguo Mansion, so that they can understand It's not a bad deal with them.

Xing Dequan was worried about his errands, so he declined: "I dare not go, I am ordered by the old lady to go to Li's house to visit Master Zhu."

"Isn't the Li family cut off contact with the Rongguo Mansion? How can I go to the Li family to visit Master Zhu?" Jia Rong asked puzzledly.

Xing Dequan was originally a careless and dull person, so he finally "turned over" and received an errand in a serious manner, intending to show off, but Lin Zhixiao and Jin Cai were also there, not daring to make it public, chatted a few words, and then with Jin Cai and Lin Zhixiao rushed to Li's house.

Jia Rong watched the group go to the Rongguo Mansion. Hearing what Xing De said in his words, it meant that the Li family made things difficult for Jia Zhu, causing Jia Zhu to almost die. Family, the Li family is really hateful, for humiliating our big brother Zhu like this, go, go to the Li family to seek justice for big brother Zhu!"

In the past few days, Jia Rong got a sum of money from Lai's second hand, and his hands became more and more loose. Everyone liked that he was willing to spend money, and they ate, drank and joked with him every day. Now they listened to him, and there was nothing wrong with it.So he supported him, rode a team of more than twenty shiny horses, and shouted five or six times to call a group of children to go along the street to the Guozijian Jijiu Li's house.

Jia Rong deliberately waited for Xing Dequan and others to come to the door. The Li family saw a group of young masters who claimed to be Jia coming to the door, and hurriedly went to talk to Li Shouzhong, Li Jin, and Li Cheng.

They all have the word Jia. Li Shouzhong heard that a group of Jia family came to the door aggressively. He thought it was the Rongguo Mansion who was angry and wanted to take revenge. When I got to the porch, I saw Jia Lian and Feng Ziying, both of whom were lying on the deck chair covered with a cloak, dozing off relative to each other for the convenience of taking care of Jia Zhu. She hurried over to shake Jia Lian awake, and said with a mournful face, "Brother Lian, wake up, a group of people have come to your house." To seek justice!"

Jia Lian woke up in a daze, and said sleepily, "Why, just now when uncle came in, didn't he say that the old ancestor was very grateful to Mr. Li?"

Li Shouzhong was about to speak when Li Cheng came striding angrily.

Li Cheng opened his clothes neatly and neatly, and said annoyedly: "The Jia family is really unreasonable. Now they are sitting in the hall, waiting for us to serve you with good wine and good food."

Li Shouzhong couldn't help regretting that he asked Jia Lian to carry Jia Zhu in last night, he pursed his lips tightly, and only said to Jia Lian: "Brother Lian, take your Jia family away, I will accept the lawsuit. "

Jia Lian frowned, sat up from the reclining chair, saw Feng Ziying also got up in a daze, and asked Li Cheng, "What's the name of the person who came?"

"It's your uncle Rong!" Li Cheng saw Jia Zhu's serious illness yesterday, and saw Li Wan crying like that, so he regretted being too ruthless to Jia Zhu yesterday, but now he feels that he should be more ruthless.

"He's not from our clan. I'm afraid he came here today just to make trouble for food and drink. Mr. Li just asks someone to go to the yamen to sue him for making trouble at the official's house." Jia Lian covered his mouth and yawned , Seeing that Li Shouzhong was not moving, he knew that people like the Li family would usually not offend the powerful, so he paced and said, "Wait for me to go see Uncle Rong."

Li Shouzhong saw him yawning profusely, and felt that the dew was heavy today. He was afraid that another young master of the Jia family would also fall ill in Li's house, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring him longan soup, and asked him to chew a piece of French-made purple ginger. He refused to show up, so he asked Jia Lian to deal with Jia Rong who were patting the table in the front hall and waiting for the good tea to be served.

Jia Lian covered his mouth and yawned, and handed a wet handkerchief in front of him, just took it to wipe his face, and then threw it out casually, and sure enough, from a distance, he could hear an inappropriate voice calling for justice echoed in the Li family's mansion full of scholarly atmosphere. Tune, led by the servants of the Li family, along the corridor to the front of the hall, and then stood still.

Quan Fu heard that the room was still full of voices urging for tea, just like a teahouse, and kicked the door carved with sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in front of him.

With a bang, the hall fell silent.

Only then did Jia Lian walk inward slowly, and when he reached the chair where Jia Rong was sitting, Jia Rong immediately stepped aside, not knowing what to do.

Quan Fu immediately replaced Jia Lian's childbirth and chair burden, and then invited Jia Lian to take a seat.

"Second Uncle Lian, we are here to seek justice for Uncle Zhu." Jia Rong secretly gave a group of people behind him a wink, and the group of people immediately said in unison, "That's right, we can't ask the Li family to bully Brother Zhu like this. "

"Second Brother Lian, the Li family doesn't dare to do anything to us when we're in trouble. Let's make a fuss and tell the Li family to kneel and kowtow to the Jia family to make amends."

……

Jia Lian opened his sour eyes, watching a group of youths in their youth who were excited when they mentioned making trouble, and sneered softly, "Get out of here."

"Second Uncle Lian..." Jia Rong resentfully gritted her teeth and said, "Second Uncle Lian is scared, but we are not!"

"Aren't you really afraid?" Jia Lian sneered.

Jia Rong thought that there were many disasters in Rongguo Mansion, and it was very easy for a uncle of the doctor of Lantai Temple to come out. The new uncle took office. The first thing he did was to kill his relatives and sued Rongguo Mansion. Fair, what are you afraid of?"

Jia Lian stretched out his hand to Jia Rong, and when Jia Rong stretched his neck and offered his face, he slapped him across the face.

"Second Uncle Lian, you—" Youdao said that hitting people is not slapping people in the face. Jia Rong covered her cheeks, but she didn't have the guts to fight Jia Lian hard.He just felt that everyone he brought was looking at him, and he was angry and annoyed and anxious to save face.

"Quan Fu, ask Zhao Tianliang to invite Big Brother Zhen to come and ask Brother Zhen if the Jia family members don't want to study or go to school anymore? How dare you come to the Imperial Academy to make trouble at the Sacrifice Restaurant." Jia Lian yawned again, propping his head.

"Hey." Quan Fu agreed, and went out of the hall to tell Zhao Tianliang.

When Jia Rong heard that she was going to invite Jia Zhen, she panicked. Originally, after listening to Xing Dequan's few words, she believed that the Jia family and the Li family had more suspicions, so she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and wanted to make the Rongguo Mansion completely turn against the Li family. He just came to make trouble, not thinking that Jia Lian was defending the Li family, so he laughed and begged for mercy: "My son doesn't know that my second uncle has already taken care of the matter. If so, my son will take his uncle and brothers to go."

"No one is allowed to leave." Jia Lian lowered his head and sneered.

Quan Fu and Quan Shou looked at Jia Rong in a moment of impatience, and they already called themselves sons, and they thought it was ridiculous.

Jia Rong scratched her head and felt that there was no one studying in Rongguo Mansion, and she was not afraid of the Guozijian sacrificial wine, then she thought that Jia Zhen might not think so.

After suffering for half a day, seeing Jia Zhen's figure at the door, she hurriedly called to her father to meet her.

"You bastard will cause trouble!" Jia Zhen spat on Jia Rong's face, even he only dared to fight Jia Lian in a roundabout way, and didn't dare to argue with him directly, but Jia Rong had the guts to offend others first It's on hand.

Jia Rong lowered her hand, not daring to wipe it.

"Brother Zhen is here." Jia Lian got up to greet him.

Jia Zhendui laughed and said, "That bastard is useless, and Brother Lian has to worry about it."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It didn't take much trouble. It's just that Mr. Li is upright and has a good reputation. Brother Rong came to make trouble at the door of his house. If it spread, wouldn't it make people think that the Jia family doesn't respect scholars? Even if they don't study Well, isn’t there anyone in our family who spends money to buy a school supervisor to study in the Imperial College?”

"Yes." Jia Zhen nodded again and again. He didn't care who bought the school gate supervisor and went to the Imperial College to study. He just thought about Li Shouzhong's peaches and plums all over the world. He was afraid that he would offend someone at some point, so he rushed to tell Jia Rong to leave. So he asked Jia Lian to lead him to see Li Shouzhong, kicked Jia Rong twice in front of Li Shouzhong, and then left with shame on his face.

Because Jia Zhen was very polite, Li Shouzhong consciously saved his face and didn't care about it, and because Jia Lian came forward to "put down the chaos" he was even more impressed with him, so he still led his son to the Imperial College.

Jia Lian and Feng Ziying were still lying on the reclining chairs under the porch outside Jia Zhu's room. They closed their eyes and said to Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong: "Tell the children in the clan to be careful. When you see the Ningguo Mansion, you must be patient and don't fight with them." dispute."

Zhao Tianliang thought that Jia Rong came to Li's house to humiliate himself, and he would be bullied when he turned around, so he hurriedly agreed.

"I have plenty of ways to teach Jia Rong a lesson." Feng Ziying, who seemed to be sleeping all the time, interrupted suddenly.

"Then please." Jia Lian closed his eyes and said with a smile, someone volunteered to help, how could he refuse?
