Red Mansion Cat Master
Chapter 3 The Road to Repair
Xuanlou saw that Jia Lian was upset at a glance, so he stretched out his hand and patted Jia Lian again, hitting him on the forehead.
Jia Lian shrank her neck, covered her forehead with her hands, and looked at Jia Amnesty in puzzlement.
"Look at how cowardly you are, it's hard to be afraid of women." Xuan Loubai glanced at Jia Lian, and said coldly, "Don't say you are my son when you go out, it's embarrassing."
Jia Lian was already holding back his stomach, but hearing his father's dislike for him, he almost vomited blood.What can he do? Before that lady didn't come in, he was one of the best butlers in the mansion, and all the servants respected him at that moment.However, after this girl entered the door, she was so clever that she deceived him for several years, and even the old ancestor and second aunt were devoted to her.Over the years, that bitch has become the boss, and he has become an errand for her all day long.Jia Lian felt even more annoyed when he thought about his changes over the years.
He sniffled aggrievedly, and complained to the old man with a pale face: "The grandpa is the biggest in the whole family, and she is protecting her, what can I do? And the second aunt, that's her aunt, how can I look to the old man?" Me, I expect the master and wife to stand up for me, can you?"
"Bastard, you are incompetent yourself. It is the master and I who are to blame." Mrs. Xing couldn't stop listening, so she opened her mouth to refute.
Jia Lian knew that what he said was a little too much, so he shut his mouth, lowered his head, and waited for the elder to scold him.After a long while, he didn't hear any sound, he raised his eyes tentatively, and saw that the old man was smiling at him with his eyes open.Jia Lian couldn't figure it out for a while, but he met the old man's eyes anyway, and just followed with a smirk.
"Those who are able go up, those who are mediocre let go, and those who are mediocre go down."
Jia Lian's smile froze on his face, he didn't expect the master to say such a sentence suddenly.How would he answer?Yes, Wang Xifeng is a capable person, but he is a mediocre person.
Is it his own father in front of him?
Jia Lian turned his head away angrily.
"Very good." Xuanlou rolled his eyes, and smiled lightly, "I still know that I am not convinced, and I still have a bit of fighting spirit."
Jia Lian became more and more puzzled, and looked at the master wonderingly: "What do you mean?"
"If you listen to my orders in the future, there will be a time when you can be proud." Xuanlou is a cat at heart, a lazy cat, and it doesn't move when it gets lazy.Jia Lian has been running errands for Wang Xifeng all these years, so he must be very experienced in running errands.Xuan Lou didn't like to do this kind of unachievable work the most, so it was just right to keep Jia Lian by his side.
Jia Lian was attracted by Xuanlou's persuasive eyes, and was stunned for a moment.After recovering, he realized that the master was going to help him, and he was very excited. "What good idea does father have?"
"Don't be impatient, take pictures slowly." Xuan Lou glanced at Jia Lian, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Could the master be teasing him?What can he do.When Jia Lian questioned, he suddenly felt a murderous look in the master's eyes.His heart was shocked, and his heart beat fast several times.
Seeing that Jia Lian did not dare to look directly into his eyes, Xuan Lou raised the corners of his mouth and raised his chin high. "From now on, I will be Xuanlou."
Jia Lian was surprised: "Father, you just said... what... Xuan Lou, what does this mean?"
Xuanlou squinted at him: "Jia Amnesty, my name is Xuanlou. I think my previous life was mediocre and ineffective because of this name. From now on, my name is Xuanlou, and I have a lot to do." Seeing Jia Lian, Xuanlou seemed suspicious. If you don't like it, you have to answer him without thinking.Even if it doesn't make sense, you have to tell the truth. If you are strong, he will be weak.
Jia Lian was dazed for a while, then nodded weakly in agreement.Jia Lian found that his father was getting more and more annoying.I also suddenly wanted to change the wording on a whim.Dear, listen to me!
"Yes, yes, the master will be named Xuanlou in the future. My son will send a letter to inform all relatives and friends tomorrow."
Xuan Lou put on his coat, and brushed off his clothes casually, the coat fit his figure neatly.Xuan Lou was standing there, with a straight back, a rather upright figure, full of energy, and a bit of grace and luxury.
Jia Lian had never seen his father so handsome, so he was a little dumbfounded.
Mrs. Xing was waiting outside, and when she saw Xuanlou walking out, she hurriedly asked him where he was going. "The master is recovering from his illness, it is not advisable to go outside to catch the wind."
"Madam is very right." After Jia Lian agreed, he remembered that there was an old doctor waiting for him to deal with outside the door.He patted his forehead and said to him hastily, "Master, did you just take something off the doctor's neck?"
Xuan Lou planned to ignore those two people.Xuan Lou thought of the bell spirit stone that the old doctor was wearing around his neck, and stopped. "You come." Xuan Lou glanced at Jia Lian and said lightly.
Jia Lian hurried forward.
"Ask the doctor where the stone came from, and find the source. Return the rope to him." Xuan Lou threw the red rope in his hand to Jia Lian, turned and walked out.
Jia Lian obediently nodded in agreement, but then realized something was wrong. He clearly wanted to argue with the master about his "evil deed" of scratching people and grabbing things.He actually left indifferently!
Jia Lian raised his foot to chase after him, but saw a piece of clothes flashing outside the courtyard gate.The eldest lady was still waiting in the yard. When she saw Jia Lian coming, she hurriedly asked him to argue and asked for a stone.
"Master just left, why didn't you stop him?"
"I think...he's so scary, how dare I! It's the same with you looking for the second master Lian, who told you that you are his son. I don't care, you have to give an explanation for this matter. "
Jia Lian took out the 27 taels of consultation money he had previously coveted, and gave it all to the old doctor. "That's all, is there any more? If you don't accept it, you can report to the official."
The old doctor saw that this was a lot of money, and besides, Rongfu is an official family, so he dared to report to the official to ask for trouble.The old doctor accepted it as soon as he saw it, and accepted the money with a smile.
"Let me ask you, what kind of broken stone are you wearing around your neck, and where did you get it?" Jia Lian asked.
The old doctor shook his head: "It was left to me by my father. I heard that it is a treasure from the mountain in his hometown."
"Then where is your father's hometown?" Jia Lian asked again.
"I don't know where the boundary of Yangzhou is." The old doctor didn't want people to know his past, so he replied vaguely to Jia Lian.He didn't understand why Jia Lian cared about that stone, it wasn't a treasure at all.However, this broken stone can be exchanged for more than 20 taels of silver, which is enough for him and his wife to live on.
The old doctor walked a few steps away when Jia Lian suddenly stopped him.The old doctor thought that Jia Lian had changed his mind and wanted to pay more money, so he ran over.
"I'll give you this back!" Jia Lian threw the red string back.
The old doctor held the red string and left with a disappointed look on his face.
Jia Lian turned to say goodbye to Mrs. Xing, but saw Mrs. Xing leaning against the door, looking up into the distance.There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of longing.
This look...how is it a bit like a 'girl thinking about spring'.
"Madam?" Jia Lian twitched the corners of her mouth.
Mrs. Xing came back to her senses, looked at Jia Lian with a dull face, and waved her away.She turned around and went back to her room, continuing to be in a daze.Ever since the master fell ill, she felt that the master suddenly became imposing.Although she is only in her early thirties, she is still young, but she has long since lost those thoughts of men and women, and now seeing the master is lonely, arrogant and handsome, she seems to have returned to her youth all of a sudden.
During her recent visits, every time she saw the master, her heart would thump.She really likes the way the master looks like now, and it would be even better if he doesn't miss sex anymore.
Xuan Lou found a secluded place in the rockery in the back garden, meditated, and absorbed the aura of heaven and earth.Although Rong Mansion is not a place of exquisite beauty, the aura contained in it is much better than other places. Even Shushan, the holy place of cultivating immortals, may not be able to catch up with this place.According to common sense, only when the gods come, can there be such a strong aura, and why there are so many dwellings for mediocre human beings like Rongfu, Xuanlou has always been puzzled.But he didn't bother to find out the reason, he wanted to enjoy the spiritual energy, and it was serious to take the opportunity to practice.
Xuanlou closed his eyes and looked inside, and let it be natural when he inhaled, without any disadvantages.The aura traveled through the meridians, but it became weaker and weaker, and it disappeared in a flash.Xuan Lou frowned, tried again, still the same.After several times of tossing, although he absorbed some spiritual energy, it was not as good as the body's energy consumption.
Xuan Lou flicked his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound in the lower abdomen, a warm current surged up, and the smell of blood immediately spread in the mouth.
Xuan Lou spat out the blood in his mouth, and reluctantly got up.
Unexpectedly, the harm caused by the unity of soul and body was far greater than he imagined.No wonder, if there was no price to pay for the unity of soul and body, those ugly goblins and ghosts would have already discarded their bodies and cast them elsewhere.
This body of mine can last for a month at most. If he doesn't replenish his spiritual energy, his soul and soul will be shattered, and he will become a fool;
Xuan Lou suddenly thought of Zhong Lingshi.That stone has existed since the beginning of the world, and it has absorbed the essence of the world to this day, and it is a holy product to nourish vitality, which is extremely rare.But the old doctor's piece is only the size of a thumb, which is far from enough.Since even Rong Mansion's aura can't save him now, the only way is to find Zhong Lingshi.
Xuan Lou then got up, intending to find Jia Lian.It just so happened that Jia Lian was going to tell the old doctor what to say, and the two hit it off.
Xuan Lou was not very satisfied with Jia Lian's answer, but it was better than nothing, at least he knew that there might be a bell in the boundary of Yangzhou.
"Greetings to Elder Master and Second Master Lian." Hu Po hurriedly saluted, and said anxiously to the two, "A letter from Yangzhou said that my aunt was seriously ill. The old lady was very sad, and the Second Wife and Second Mistress Lian couldn't comfort her. Ask the old man to go and see."
Aunt?When Xuan Lou looked at Jia Lian, he found her identity from the memory of the deity.The aunt mentioned by the maid turned out to be this physical younger sister, named Jia Min, whose husband was Lin Ruhai, the inspector of salt in Yangzhou.
"My son will accompany you." Jia Lian made way for Xuanlou to go first.
Xuanlou stepped into the flower hall, and saw Jia Mu, who was sitting on the head with gray hair, crying.There were four women standing next to her to persuade her. These four women were Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng.
When Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and others saw the grand master coming, they stepped aside to avoid suspicion.
Mother Jia looked at her son Jia She with tears in her eyes, but he had a cold face and no expression, looking at the girls as if they were watching a scene.
Jia Mu was furious, and shouted at him in a hoarse voice: "Boss, how cruel you are! Your sister is seriously ill, and you don't feel any sadness at all. Why are you at ease? How many sins did my old lady do in her previous life? What an idiot you are."
"You didn't do anything wrong in your previous life."
"What did you say?" Mother Jia stared at Xuanlou.
Xuan Lou truthfully stated: "If you did evil in your previous life, you are no longer a human being, but a beast."
Jia Lian shrank her neck, covered her forehead with her hands, and looked at Jia Amnesty in puzzlement.
"Look at how cowardly you are, it's hard to be afraid of women." Xuan Loubai glanced at Jia Lian, and said coldly, "Don't say you are my son when you go out, it's embarrassing."
Jia Lian was already holding back his stomach, but hearing his father's dislike for him, he almost vomited blood.What can he do? Before that lady didn't come in, he was one of the best butlers in the mansion, and all the servants respected him at that moment.However, after this girl entered the door, she was so clever that she deceived him for several years, and even the old ancestor and second aunt were devoted to her.Over the years, that bitch has become the boss, and he has become an errand for her all day long.Jia Lian felt even more annoyed when he thought about his changes over the years.
He sniffled aggrievedly, and complained to the old man with a pale face: "The grandpa is the biggest in the whole family, and she is protecting her, what can I do? And the second aunt, that's her aunt, how can I look to the old man?" Me, I expect the master and wife to stand up for me, can you?"
"Bastard, you are incompetent yourself. It is the master and I who are to blame." Mrs. Xing couldn't stop listening, so she opened her mouth to refute.
