[Red Mansion] Master Jia

It didn't take long for Mrs. Wang to think about it, but it was the villain Jia Yucun who sued Ningguo Mansion, and then he was sued for corruption, colluding with gentry, and arbitrarily judging the case.

Jia Yucun was imprisoned, and what he did in office was naturally exposed.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue met once. The shop south of Xue’s house has not been managed yet. After all, she is much more informed than Mrs. Wang. En promoted his Zhen family, they really should be damned.

I really thought that if the Zhen family collapsed, Jia Yucun would be able to skyrocket. The relationship between the four kings and eight princes has always been very close. Su Ri'an is now in decline, but as long as the other families find out the handle of Jia Yucun, how can they see it? Such a vicious dog that bites and barks.

Mrs. Wang said "Yes", and looked up at Aunt Xue, "I heard that Pan'er got into trouble again?"

"Injured the son of a family..." Aunt Xue was not in a good mood when she mentioned this matter, but fortunately Xue Pan didn't beat anyone to death, and it would be troublesome if she died.

Aunt Xue was frowning, and Mrs. Wang had a faint smile on her lips. Xue Pan didn't learn well, which was actually what she liked. Without Xue Pan in the Xue family, Baochai's mother and daughter had no choice but to rely on themselves.

It's a pity that although Xue Pan's head is not bright, and sometimes he is impulsive, but when something happens, he still wants to ask someone to settle the matter, and go back to discuss with his mother and sister. Baochai mentioned Lian's second brother.

Xue Pan patted his thigh, "That's right! Good sister, you're still the smartest." Without waiting for Aunt Xue and Baochai to ask him, he even forgot to prepare the gift, and rode directly to the suburbs of Beijing.

When he arrived at the Temple of Fa, Xue Pan entered the main hall, but he didn't dare to make any noise. It was strange to say that the atmosphere here made him involuntarily solemn.

"Second Brother Lian, this man is about to die. His family is more powerful than mine... just help me." Xue Pan almost knelt down and kowtowed. It's just that the imperial businessman and his family business almost ruined him.

Jia Lian was sitting on the chair, drinking tea slowly, looking at Xue Pan, he had a half-smile: "How can I help you? What's the benefit of helping you?"

"Ah, what's more beneficial? After all, we are relatives..." Xue Pan almost swears to the sky, "From now on, second brother, if you say one thing, I will not say another thing. If you make me believe in Dharma God, I will not worship Buddha." !"

Jia Lian sneered, "If you believed in Buddhism, you wouldn't have caused so much trouble."

Xue Pan laughed when he heard the words.

"It's not impossible to help you. In the future, if your cousin needs you to run errands, you can do it." Jia Lian said unexpectedly to Xue Pan.

Xue Pan scratched his head, "Didn't my cousin have you as the second brother Lian? Besides, there is also brother Wang Ren." Will Wang Xifeng ever count on her in the future?

"You shouldn't."

"Yes! Why shouldn't it! It's just that there is no such thing, Sister Feng is also my cousin, how can I not be busy." Xue Pan smirked.

"You secretly brought this bottle of medicine back to Captain Qiu. It was given to you by an old monk in the south. It was used to save your life. Give it to them. If a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, that person will live. Just ask them to keep their mouths shut, otherwise this will happen. Wait until the medicine is not given to the emperor—" After Jia Lian finished speaking, Xue Pan patted his chest and promised.

"You have to change your temper, I don't have time to clean up the mess for you in the future." Jia Lian narrowed his eyes, asked Xue Pan to donate a drop of blood, and then recited a long incantation, a faint red light fell On Xue Pan's wrist.

"Second Brother Lian... what is this?" Xue Pan was so startled that his whole body trembled. Anyone who saw the roses with thorns wrapped around the skin of his arms would be shocked, and the roses gradually disappeared. , Xue Pan's skin returned to normal within a few breaths.

"It's just something to calm you down when you're 'excited'. In the future, if you lose your temper at will, or want to hit someone, hmph...you try!" Jia Lian said lightly, and threw a bottle of potion to Xue Pan.

Xue Pan still didn't understand, took the porcelain bottle and went to Qiu Duwei's house, the enemy was very jealous when they met, Xue Pan explained a lot, seeing that they were still entangled, and even beat and scolded himself, the monkey temper came up, and even He was about to drop the medicine bottle, but suddenly there was a pain in his wrist—a piercing pain, and at the same time a chilly breath surged into his head, Xue Pan cleared his mind, calmed down, and the pain in his wrist just stopped. disappear slowly.

After he said all the good things, Qiu Duwei's family saw him with hatred in their eyes, but Xue Pan said he had the medicine, asked where he came from, and told him to retreat the servant.Xue Pan explained the origin of the medicine according to Jia Lian's instructions, and Qiu Duwei's family had already inquired about the matter of the Xue family, but he didn't believe it. Fang, he is in good health.It would not be surprising if the Xue family still had life-saving medicine or prescriptions.

Even Captain Qiu's only son is dying now, and a dead horse is a living horse doctor. If the son doesn't come back, Captain Qiu thought, he will let this Xue Pan eat and walk around, thinking that their Qiu family will go to court. Is there no one? !

The porcelain bottle that Xue Pan brought was opened, and an unpleasant smell came out. Qiu Duwei's wife insisted on pouring it carefully for her son. woke up.

Xue Pan immediately let go of his heart.

He even thought, second brother Lian is amazing!Will I have to believe in such a troublesome Guangming Dharma God in the future, but the other great immortals are much more powerful!

Xue Pan compensated Qiu Duwei's family tens of thousands of taels of silver. Qiu Duwei's son died within two days, but Qiu Duwei's family had exposed this matter with Xue Pan, and Qiu Duwei's son was also a peaceful A dude who is similar to Xue Pan, the two don't know each other, but they like each other and become friends.

Since then, although Xue Pan is still debauched, he is not so impulsive. Both Aunt Xue and Baochai have noticed something, and they are very relieved that his brother has grown up after all.

It's just that Xue Pan is still very dissatisfied with his mother and sister still thinking about the phoenix egg Baoyu, "What's so good about Baoyu, it seems to be useless... Humph!" Xue Pan wanted to ask someone to find a home for his sister.

Aunt Xue sighed, "You are an older brother who hasn't even married yet." There is one more thing to say, Aunt Xue is really worried about some "characters" in Xue Pantuo's life. Can you not be sure, if you really entrust Xue Pan to watch people, will Baochai's future be good?

Xue Pan himself doesn't care, it's not that there is no maid in his room, there is also Xiangling, who is gentle and beautiful, so he is not in a hurry to marry a wife.

"Pan'er, I have taken a fancy to a family that is also the family of the Imperial Merchant. The family has a lot of money and is an only child. If you marry her, the Xia family will be yours in the future. According to the matchmaker, the Xia family That girl looks so handsome, I think this marriage is good, what do you think?" Aunt Xue said with a smile.

Xue Pan scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, but he has always been filial, and now he can only rely on his mother to get married, so he naturally said: "Mom, you can decide what you like, and you must marry a good-looking one!"

"That's right." Aunt Xue promised that if she married her son an unattractive one, she would know that the life of their young couple would be difficult in the future without Xue Pan making trouble. This son is very fond of color.

……

Xue Pan has been following Jia Lian lately, and Jia Lian is not polite. Although this Xue Pan is not a very good person, if he is loyal to someone and does things for his brother, he is still extremely loyal and proper, and he has a bit of "spine".

"You said your mother took a fancy to a family with the surname 'Xia'?" Jia Lian asked with a snort, raising her eyebrows.

Xue Pan nodded. He didn't expect Jia Lian to be interested when he mentioned it occasionally.His eyes widened, and he asked with a smile, "Second Brother Lian, can you tell fortunes? You can figure it out for me. Is this young lady from the Xia family beautiful and gentle? Does she look like Sister Lin..." The last sentence was a mumbling with.

Jia Lian's ears are sharp. This fool Xue has seen Daiyu before, so he really fell in love with him.

He looked Xue Pan up and down, and Xue Pan felt guilty for a while. "Look, what am I doing?"

"...Look at you, the toad wants to eat swan meat."

"Second Brother Lian, you heard me." Xue Pan sighed, "I'm just thinking about it in my heart, I didn't even dare to ask my mother about that fairy-like figure, and I didn't even dare to desecrate him in my dreams..." I can't wait Forget it quickly, thinking about it in your mind is full of heinous thoughts.

Jia Lian didn't laugh at it, but looked at Xue Pan with a little surprise in his eyes. It's rare that this rude guy still has delicate feelings.

But it's true, apart from Baoyu, as long as they meet Daiyu, I'm afraid there are not many people who don't like this girl.

"She's not what you imagined. But although I'm not 'good' at fortune-telling, I do know that Xia Qianjin is not suitable for you."

"Why?" Xue Pan didn't understand, and he couldn't refute his mother without a reason.

"It's just that she has an 'elder brother' with a temperament... I think he's three points stronger than you!" Jia Lian laughed. "If you marry her, I'm afraid that in the future..." Shaking his head, he must have done a good deed, and it would not be in vain for Xue Pan to rush back and forth for him.

Xue Pan recognized Jia Lian, and the money was not short. He also contributed a portion of the money to build a small temple in the capital. The blessing technique is now well-known. In a cycle of seven days, Jia Lian will spend one day preaching, telling some stories about the God of Light, and blessing the believers. It's really good.

Even the healing potion Jia Lian bestowed was very effective, except that it was extremely unpalatable and extremely expensive.

This is also one of the sources of Jia Lian's wealth. If a wealthy family is sick, and a business owner needs advice... Wait, as long as you come to Guangming Fashen, join the religion, have a devout belief, and donate a sum of money, naturally Jia Lian will look at it a little differently. Some.Poor people have no money, but if they are sincere and pious, clean the temple, bring two loads of firewood or gather some herbs, Jia Lian will treat them equally.

Therefore, since Jia Lian moved here, the prestige among the people is very great. As Jia Lian's half-disciple, Yinreng just watched with a sneer. He couldn't figure out Jia Lian's mind, but he was sure that he had underestimated Jia Lian in the past. the goal of.

Although Yinreng hated Kangxi and his brothers, he would not just watch the Qing Dynasty being pried into the wall by Jia Lian, but the matter did not develop to a certain extent. It seems that Jia Lian's picture is really not this country, and Yinreng is just observing for the time being. .

As long as the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is not changed, in fact, His Royal Highness the former prince is still very happy to see the Khan Ama Jia Lian gave him, and a certain brother who will ascend the throne in the future make trouble.

Here Xue Pan heard Jia Lian's words, and murmured in his heart. He knows Jia Lian's magic power these days. In his opinion, it is right for Lian's second brother to become a monk, because Lian's second brother is about to become a fairy, and everything is difficult. Do not pour him down.

After returning home, he told Aunt Xue and his younger sister about Jia Lian's words. Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment. Will there be a good life, so I can't help but say to Aunt Xue: "Let's find someone else to inquire about it."

Aunt Xue agreed, and sure enough, after a while, the two people who were entrusted separately came to report that the daughter of the Xia family was not appropriate.

"This king's matchmaker! How dare you take my matchmaker's money and lie to us!" Aunt Xue scolded, her chest trembling with anger.

Baochai hurriedly comforted her: "Matchmakers only keep their mouths open and they only accept money. The Xia family is not worse than ours. It is not unthinkable if the matchmaker's mouth is sealed with money... I think it is better to consider the matter of brother's marriage in the long run."

"Pan'er doesn't live up to expectations, who are we entrusting here?" It's not that Aunt Xue didn't tell Mrs. Wang about this, but Mrs. Wang's side has been silent. Not only Xue Pan's affairs are ignored, but also Baochai and Baoyu's. Marriage, did not exchange marriage certificates.You must know that the old lady is dead now, and Mrs. Wang has no reason to push back.

Baochai guessed Mrs. Wang's intentions a little bit, she was a little annoyed in her heart, she only hated her humble family background, and her elder brother was a troublemaker in the past, but fortunately he is not so irritable now.

"In my opinion, it's better to ask sister Tuofeng." Baochai suggested.

Aunt Xue's eyes lit up: "That's right! My son is still smart. Entrust girl Feng, can Lian'er be busy? I heard that many powerful people believe in the God of Light, and even I want to see Lian'er all the time. Do you think your second elder brother Lian really has 'fairy' skills?"

Baochai shook her head, she didn't really believe in reasoning, but her sea was also given by an expert, there are still some mysterious things in this world that can't be explained...

After receiving Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng drank a cup of tea and used it as an excuse to let Jia Lian go home.

She was so dejected that she could take it easy, and in addition, in the house of Jia's house, the size of the butler was up to her own discretion. Madam Xing, as long as she gave the mother-in-law a share of money, naturally she wouldn't argue with herself. It's the housekeeper's right now.

Wang Xifeng is really saying the same thing now, and life is comfortable, the two children are also cute, the eldest brother is also smart, and already knows most of the characters, Wang Xifeng and Ping'er have long discovered that the eldest brother and eldest sister are familiar with each other. This made Wang Xifeng look at these two children every day, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Now, except that the second master doesn't come back often, there is nothing imperfect in life.

How many wives are envious of her, Wang Xifeng is right to think so under Ping'er's persuasion.Who doesn't have a bad husband-in-law, whether it's a concubine or a maid, or the in-laws above, and now she thinks that there is no such opponent.

However, she still wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at the second master. Jia Lian also went home after receiving the message from Wang Xifeng.

After the family had a meal, Wang Xifeng talked about what Aunt Xue had said.

"There are suitable people, and Xue Pan's temperament has changed a lot now," Jia Lian said.

"Second Master didn't lie to me? I know what kind of temperament my cousin is. It would be a waste for a daughter of a good family to marry him." Wang Xifeng frowned.

Jia Lian smiled, "However, in fact, the candidate is ready-made, and Xue Pan himself likes it, but there is a problem with this person's identity now. The servant girl is just a thing in the eyes of the master, and no matter how much he likes it, it will not last long. If she leaves This identity is a good one, and it is good for your aunt and cousin of the Xue family."

Wang Xifeng heard something in these words. "Second Master, who are you talking about?"

"Xiangling." Jia Lian said after taking a sip of tea.

"Ah—she, no. No matter how good her character is, she's still a maid bought from a kidnapper." Wang Xifeng shook her head and sighed.She had talked about this girl with Heping'er a long time ago, and it was a pity for her fate, but when it comes to kissing, one must pay attention to the right family, otherwise there will be no harmony in the future.

"If Xiangling's life experience can be found, it can be regarded as the right family." Jia Lian said lightly.

"Second Master, you know that girl Xiangling..." Wang Xifeng sat up and asked curiously.

Ping'er also came over to refill tea and pour water at this time, she was also very surprised.

"I got some letters earlier, but I didn't bother to take care of them before. Xiangling is a girl from a gentry family, but her family has been ruined. If you give me some money, my status can be justified. After all, his father was once a juren, and he can be considered a rich family. The Xue family doesn't have any fame, and the business in the palace is exhausted. In fact, it is already in decline. To put it bluntly, the Xue family is not as good as the humble children of a scholar's family."

"..." Wang Xifeng wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it. Thinking about it objectively, what Jia Lian said was really not bad.

Sighing, Wang Xifeng also took a break to find a rich family for Xue Pan, saying that after Wang Ziteng's death, their Wang family was counting on Wang Ren to revive the family. Huayue, daydreaming.

"Since the second master said so, it is Xiangling. She is also lucky." Wang Xifeng said.

"It's not because of Xue's family's good fortune." Jia Lian smiled disapprovingly. If Xia Jingui had married into Xue's family, the Xue family would have made a fuss.
