Red Mansion Cat Master

Wang Ziteng's eyes widened slightly, looking at Jia Zheng, as if to say: When did your elder brother become eloquent?

Jia Zheng raised his hand in embarrassment and stroked his beard.

Wang Ziteng hated Jia Zheng for not living up to expectations. After glancing at him, he deliberately snorted before turning the conversation to Xuanlou. "Brother Xuanlou, then I will not be polite, and I will say what I have to say. It is clear that you are deceiving others first! Sister She said that you all mistakenly thought that she ordered Feng girl to give loan sharks. Was she short of money? Back then we When the Wang family married someone into your family, how many cartloads of gold, silver and jewellery, would they be short of usury? How ridiculous!"

"Who would think too much money?" Xuanlou rubbed his chin with a smile and spoke the truth.That's what he thought in his heart, making money is really addictive.Because you have money, you can buy fish and eat it, and you can enjoy it.

"You—" Wang Ziteng was blocked by Xuanlou before he recovered his strength, and his chest was tight with anger.

"Besides, the old lady was just asking, and she didn't say that she really let usury. After all, it was the daughter of your Wang family who had the accident. Isn't my daughter-in-law also surnamed Wang? They are related, and As a housekeeper, it's normal to make mistakes and make people suspicious." Xuanlou shook his head lazily, and glanced at Wang Ziteng casually, "Brother Ziteng, don't you think so?"

This sound made Prince Teng's younger brother scream, which made Wang Ziteng feel nauseous and disgusted, and he became even more angry.People say that a person with a lot of knowledge can speak eloquently.This guy Jia She has no ink in his stomach, so why is he more powerful than a scholar's mouth.

Wang Ziteng suddenly understood why Jia Zheng was sent out of Rongxi Hall.Based on the level of Wailang, who has been a member of the Ministry of Industry for decades, he really can't beat Jia Amnesty.

Wang Ziteng started to look at Jia Amnesty squarely, took a deep breath, and decided not to underestimate the enemy anymore.

"Our daughter of the Wang family, how can you allow you to doubt?" Wang Ziteng was really angry, and roared, the veins on his neck burst out.

"Ah, the daughter of the Wang family shouldn't be suspicious." Xuan Lou nodded.

Wang Ziteng thought he was overwhelmed by his aura, raised his chin, and felt a little proud.

Xuan Lou squinted his eyes and smiled, still with a lazy attitude.He cocked his legs and swayed his toes leisurely.

"But she is now the daughter-in-law of the Jia family! Otherwise, brother Ziteng will ask your sister, does she want to be the daughter of the Wang family or continue to be the daughter-in-law of the Jia family?"

When Xuanlou spoke, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes gradually became cold.

The daughters of their royal family will just sleep when they say they want to!

Wang Ziteng's heart trembled, and he frowned and stared at Jia Amnesty fiercely.Good guy, this guy dared to threaten himself face to face.

Jia Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, he brought his wife and elder brother here to discuss family affairs, and in the end it turned out that Jia and Wang's family had a grudge.

"Two brothers, don't talk about it, it's not a big deal, it's just a misunderstanding."

Xuan Lou and Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Zheng at the same time.One ridiculed, the other hated him for not living up to expectations.

Jia Zheng was out of good intentions, but when he saw this, he couldn't bear it anymore.He angrily charged at Xuanlou: "Brother, you shouldn't have wronged her. You should pay attention to evidence in everything. You have no evidence, why are you making false accusations?"

Wang Ziteng saw that Jia Zheng finally got up, and his attitude became better, so he quickly agreed with him: "Our Wang family can't swallow this breath."

"Is there anything you can't swallow? We all swallowed it. No one said that your daughter-in-law is guilty. The final thing is Feng girl. She is the daughter of your Wang family. Since you want to make things big, make big things." , let outsiders comment on it!"

Wang Ziteng's face was pale and uncertain, he was very embarrassed and ashamed.How could he have forgotten that no matter who had the accident between the two of them, it would lose the reputation of all the women in their royal family.

He was really hit by Jia Amnesty!

Xuanlou stood up, stretched his waist, and looked at the two of them sharply, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. By the way, I don't like drinking."

After Xuanlou finished speaking, he walked out the door slowly in a straight line.

Wang Ziteng was furious when he saw his "playing cheap" appearance, and slammed his fist on the table hard.

Jia Zheng was taken aback, seeing Wang Ziteng's expression, he felt sorry for himself.He originally wanted to take advantage of his elder brother's visit this time to discuss his promotion, but this time, it's all gone.

Wang Ziteng was so angry that he lost face, he didn't want to stay here any longer.He pointed at Jia Zheng with trembling fingers, and warned him: "If you dare to make my sister wronged, you will be my best friend! Also, girl Feng is no longer the daughter of our Wang family!"

Jia Zheng watched Wang Ziteng go away angrily, embarrassed and didn't know what to do, and he also held his breath in his heart.On the one hand, he hated his eldest brother Jia She for causing trouble, and on the other hand, he hated himself for not picking out such a trivial matter.In the end, Rongxitang didn't want to come back, and even lost face.

Jia Zheng was so angry that he wanted to yell, but because he had to take into account his image of a gentleman, he couldn't yell, so he secretly kicked the door angrily, but the kick hurt so much that he had to hop on one leg, talking straight. Take a breath.Jia Zheng glanced warily at the maid in the room, pretending to be walking normally, but still limping.

As soon as the others left, the maids laughed together in the room.

Xuanlou was standing in the west wing, and as soon as he left, he came out with his hands behind his back, squinting at Jia Zheng's leaving back.He heard laughter in the main room and walked in.

The maids immediately fell silent and bowed their heads to salute the elder.Don't look at the old man's usual laxity, these maids dare not offend him the most.The old master showed his power to deal with people, even more powerful than Lian's second grandmother.A few days ago, Second Mistress Lian sent away many women in the mansion just because of the old man's words.Although these women are indeed lazy and slippery on weekdays and should be punished, it still makes them panic for a while.

Xuanlou walked towards the side room, heading straight for the Arhat couch.Jiao Hong understood immediately, and hurriedly laid out the mat.Xuanlou sat lazily, and asked them with his half-turned body, "Just after I left, did those two say anything?"

The maids hurriedly returned to him as before, and also vividly learned about Jia Zheng's kicking.

Xuan Lou was delighted to hear this, and praised these servant girls for their talents, and each of them shared a sling of money as a reward.And, he ordered one of the maids to learn Wang Xifeng's words from Wang Ziteng.It's also good to make Wang Xifeng feel cold, and completely cut off other thoughts.

All the maids received the money, very grateful for it, and listened to the master's instructions.

Xuanlou called Jia Lian to come to him and asked him about the progress of the school.

Jia Lian scratched her head with a smile, wondering: "Master, this matter is really difficult. If you want to mess up, you have to make a big mistake. My son has been working hard to inquire these two days. There are indeed some uneasy people in the school. The boys who are divided are making jokes and doing some messy things. But this is not enough to disturb the sex, at best it is to beat those boys out."

"Then let it go for a while, it's not an important matter."

Now Xuanlou is not concerned about trapping Baoyu anymore, he cares more about the stone on Baoyu's neck.If he didn't expect it, the effect of that stone must be much more powerful than that of Zhong Lingshi.The stone has always been with Baoyu, and it is easy to get it. What is not easy is how to break the curse on the stone.Only by restoring the stone to his real body can he cut and refine the stone for his own use.

Xuanlou pondered for a few days but couldn't figure out a solution, so he had to find another way.

"Father, these are the books copied by the son." It was the first time that Jia Lian had completed something so hard, and he felt proud, so he presented his achievements with his own hands.

Xuan Lou raised his eyebrows, looked at Jia Lian's black and yellow eye circles, smiled, reached out to pick up a book, and opened it to have a look.He had seen Jia Lian's handwriting, so he naturally recognized Jia Lian's handwriting.

"That's right, I'll reward you with 500 taels of silver for your obedience. I don't care what you do, remember, don't delay my master's business."

Jia Lian didn't expect that there would be a reward, so he was naturally happy.Housekeeper Jia Lian has seen tens of thousands of taels of silver. Although the 500 taels is a large amount, fortunately, he can control the money by himself, which is really great.

Jia Lian was very happy, and took the initiative to kowtow to Lao Ye to thank him.

Xuanlou waived Jia Lian's gift and asked him to talk about Wang Ziteng.

"Jingdu envoy of the Beijing camp is not a petty official. He is in charge of the forbidden army underground in the imperial city and takes care of law and order. Naturally, he has won the favor of his body. It is said that first-rank officials should be polite when they see him." After Jia Lian finished speaking, he saw The elder frowned tightly, thinking that it must have something to do with the uncle's visit today, "Master, did you offend him?"

Xuan Lou stretched his brows and laughed.He deliberately raised his eyebrows lazily to look at Jia Lian, "What do you think?"

Jia Lian's heart trembled, thinking about the old man's fierce temper recently, he was really scared.

"The master certainly couldn't hold back his temper. He is a more ruthless one, holding a lot of power in his hands. If he doesn't keep it in order to make things difficult for us, what should we do?"

"Hmph!" Xuan Lou sneered, and found a comfortable position to lie down on, and closed his eyes.

Jia Lian was in a hurry, lying on the edge of Luohan's couch and looking at his father, "Master, we have to be careful about this matter. Although there is the second wife here, he can't make things difficult for us, but small things come to us, but it's very important." Disturbing. After all, he will teach us a lesson, and the most important thing is that he wants to frighten the master."

"Well, first let me see how powerful he is." Xuan Lou groaned, then turned his back to Jia Lian, planning to sleep.

Jia Lian quickly backed away quietly.

Xuanlou suddenly remembered that he still had business to explain, so he got up suddenly and called Jia Lian, "Send people to various places where immortals and Taoists cultivate, and help me collect some books and tell some legends about immortals and gods, especially those in ancient times. Yes, something about stones and stuff would be better."

"What does the master want these books for?" Jia Lian was puzzled.

"Of course I read it." Xuan Lou glanced at Jia Lian, expressing that his question was too idiotic.

Jia Lian smiled helplessly, that's not what he meant, okay?

After Xuan Lou finished speaking, he lay back down again.

Jia Lian swallowed the words, but didn't ask any more, anyway, he has never understood the master's thoughts, and he just needs to do things well.

……

In early autumn, the weather turns cooler sooner or later.

Heavy rains have continued in recent days, and the water in the moat soared by more than three feet overnight.

The Jingying Jiedu envoy, Prince Teng Shenben, made the emperor order the Ministry of Industry to build another drainage canal.The place where the drainage was done was not right or wrong, and it just rushed to the land on a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Rongfu.

In the past two years, the harvest in Rongfu Zhuangzi has been bad. Only a few Zhuangzi have better harvests, including the one that was washed away by the river.The imperial court gave some subsidies and silver taels, but it was far less than one-tenth of the loss.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she wanted to argue with Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang went ahead and apologized to Jia Mu for her mistakes, and even choked up to explain his brother's difficulties.

This is a warning.

Mother Jia understands the truth, knowing that the Jia family can't compete with the Wang family now, so she can only pretend to be confused and swallow this breath.Instead of blaming Mrs. Wang, Mother Jia gave Mrs. Wang a pair of jade ruyis that the concubine empress gave her last time as a token of comfort.Mrs. Wang is still not reconciled and wants to go back to Rongxi Hall.

Sanhua had just learned how to behave, but now she was so angry that she jumped up and ran to Xuanlou to show her teeth: "They must be taught a lesson!"

"As long as this Prince Teng is dealt with, she will have no backing." Xuanlou smiled and sat up from the Arhat couch unhurriedly.

Sanhua nodded: "Okay, how about you take care of Wang Ziteng and I take care of Mrs. Wang?"

"That's too easy." Xuanlou smiled triumphantly, and immediately ordered Zongzhu to prepare two carts of straw, and specifically told him to wet all the straw on the cart with water.
