Jia She, the local tyrant of the Red Chamber
Chapter 38
It is the vernal equinox, and the willow wind is blowing and the face is not cold.The back garden of Jiang Wu's house was tidied up by his wife. There is a small peach blossom grove in the middle, which hides a small bamboo pavilion. Some spring orchids are planted at the foot of the pavilion.
Peng Run arrived first, wearing a gauze hat and sitting in the pavilion, accompanied by Jiang Wu's wife Zou Shi.Not long after, Jiang Wu accompanied Qi Zhou and Jia Amnesty also arrived.
Peng Run saluted first and said, "You're taking the liberty."
Qi Zhou and Jia Amnesty return the gift.
Fang got up, Qi Zhou was about to exchange some pleasantries, when Peng Run suddenly looked at Jia She and said, "It's you!"
Jia She was taken aback: "Grandma Peng, we don't know each other."
Peng Run sneered: "So this is the "Green Book"!"
A flash of light flashed through Jia She's mind, and he suddenly remembered—isn't this voice the same as that unlucky guy who was cut off twice by Daiyu and himself?No gender can be heard in the middle and low range.The book had really been snatched from her.ha?It turns out that there were women who disguised themselves as men in ancient times!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Wu hurriedly winked at his daughter-in-law.Mrs. Zou interrupted, "What's the matter? Don't you play chess?"
Peng Run pointed at Jia Amnesty: "Play chess! I don't believe I can play against you!"
Jia She pointed at Zhou: "I can't play chess with him."
Peng Run said angrily: "You can't play chess, what are you doing to snatch the "Gen Jing"!"
Jia Amnesty said, "Give it away."
Peng Runli looked at him coldly.
Qi Zhou interjected at the right time: "Are you still going?"
Peng Run immediately dismissed Jia She: "Next!" He turned his head and returned to his seat, so that Qi Zhou could play chess.
Jia She cleverly reduced his sense of presence and leaned towards Jiang Wu so as not to wander in the opponent's line of sight.He is blind in Go, but everyone else in the room understands this, and Jia She is the only layman.I was so bored that I finally went out for a stroll.
He came back from a stroll, but didn't finish playing...then another lap, didn't finish playing...Jia She was really impatient when the third lap was not finished, so he ran to Jiang Wu's house to play with a deck of cards Hearts.
When Jiang Wu sent someone to call him, Peng Run had already left.Jia Amnesty said in boredom, "I shouldn't have come. I don't know chess and don't need to play chess."
Jiang Wu glared at him: "It's your business, but you have the face to hide yourself."
Jia Amnesty said dejectedly, "Where am I free? Your brother just tricked me once. I don't take their Yushitai's salary to help him work every day." Suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Xiao Qi , What do you think Leshan County King came to me to ask for peace? I have been hanging around with you all day long, and I have made it clear that I will not change jobs again. "
After waiting for half a day without hearing a reply, he turned his head and saw that Qi Zhou was distracted!This is an anecdote through the ages, Jia She and Jiang Wu stretched out a paw and waved it twice in front of his eyes: "Xiao Qi~~~"
Qi Zhou glanced at them both: "What's the matter?"
"What were you thinking just now?" Jia She was very interested.
"It's nothing. I just feel that Peng's girl's chess style is quite familiar. I don't know who is the master who taught her." Qi Zhou said indifferently, "What did you just say?"
Jia Amnesty didn't ask any more questions, so he told the story about the Leshan County King sending someone to deliver the box.
Jiang Wu frowned. "It's not easy to do it for nothing. How did you make him do such a simple thing?"
Qi Zhou interjected: "Baigan is a sensible person. Others don't understand so much."
Jia Amnesty suddenly realized that the two of them understood much better than himself, so he said "You two are thinking about it, let me know if you have any news", and went back as if nothing happened.I didn't remember until I got to the mansion, I just forgot to ask them who won and if they got the book back.After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Qi once claimed to be good at chess, since he said so, I think no one can beat him.
When Qi Zhou returned home, the concierge looked a little strange.Qi Zhou didn't ask any more questions, and walked straight in.Hearing a woman's voice suddenly, he frowned.
At this time, a servant saw him and shouted: "Your Excellency is back!"
Qi Zhou gave a "hmm" and saw a lot of boxes and cages piled up in the courtyard, so he asked, "Where did they come from?"
Hearing a smirk, a smiling woman came out of the hall and saluted Qi Zhou.
Qi Zhou then asked his servants, "What's going on?"
The woman rushed up to salute and said: "My lord, let me tell you. We are originally from Wuying Wuge's hometown. Our elder heard that there is only one wife in your family, and there are no children under your knees. For the sake of an heir, I specially sent one Girls and adults."
Qi Zhou still smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wu Ge. It's just that Qi Zhou's family is poor and can't afford to support him. I still hope that Mr. Wu Ge will be happy."
The woman had probably never heard of this kind of reasoning, so she choked for a moment.
At this time, the new butler from his house had come out, and whispered to Qi Zhou: "They have been here for a while, and I sent someone to invite Madam later, but Madam said she didn't want to see her."
Qi Zhou nodded, and then ordered: "Send off the guests." He pointed to the boxes and cages in the yard, "What day is it today, what are you packing up for?"
The woman hurriedly said: "This is the dowry of our Ruyan girl."
Qi Zhou said: "Please send her to the next house together with the dowry." He didn't even look at the slim woman who turned out from the hall, and turned to go back.
The woman was in a hurry, and called out to the Lord repeatedly, and Qi Zhou walked away.
In the backyard, Mrs. Liang came out with a smile and said, "My lord is very lucky."
Qi Zhou sighed: "Tomorrow, Marquis Xun En will ask some people from the patrol team to come."
Liang Shi laughed even harder.Smiling and laughing, he choked up again.
Qi Zhou didn't persuade her, just took the handkerchief and passed it over, and he stood beside her.
Gradually, Liang stopped crying and sighed: "I am useless."
Qi Zhou said: "Don't forget about this. Wu Ge is always the grandfather of the second prince. I have a good relationship with Jiang Wen, and the sage values it. I'm afraid there will be such people in the future."
Immediately, Mrs. Liang was led over by him, and said: "There are still others who came to give gifts, I pushed them all away."
Qi Zhou thought for a while: "Let's raise some dogs too." Another thing came to mind. "Today I had a hands-on negotiation with the Peng family's aunt, but I lost."
Liang Shi was surprised: "Losing?"
Qi Zhou nodded: "I think her chess style is a bit like my father's character." Then, he took out something from his pocket, which was Jia She's "Book of Acer", "Today, Enhou will go. It was too fast, and I forgot to give it to him."
Mrs. Liang hurriedly asked, "Who did she learn from?"
Qi Zhou said: "When she was young in Taiyuan, she learned from a Taoist priest, and that Taoist priest was replaced by 'Idiot Taoist', but no one shouted the Taoist name. It has been nearly 30 years."
This is naturally not taught by Mr. Qi.
"The Taoist priest also admired the "Great Sutra", so Grandma Peng also searched for it for many years."
Liang said: "Since that's the case, the Taoist priest must have something to do with the father-in-law."
Qi Zhou sighed: "Grandma Peng's aunt is also interesting. She was about six or seven years old at the time, and the priest told her not to care about her name, but she really didn't care about her name. If not, you can ask people to ask about it."
The couple discussed for a while, and went to eat without mentioning it.
Afterwards, several princes' relatives or confidantes often came to court or give gifts, especially beauties, Qi Zhou was very annoyed, so he pasted a couplet on the door:
Occasionally, the mood is mild and weak, but there is no money left to store passion.
After that, there were no more beauties.
This day is windy and sunny, and spring is boundless.Jia Shen, his youngest son and granddaughter each hugged a big cloth bear and sat in the yard basking in the sun to play house.Jia Amnesty, who was holding the mother bear in his hands, was preparing to feed Xiao Yezi's baby bear. The concierge came to report, and a monk came outside, describing strangely, speaking insanely, and specifying that he wanted to see him.
Jia Amnesty is overjoyed!I've been wanting to tease these two for a long time, and it must be the time for sister Baoyufeng to be cursed in the original book.Hurry up and ask someone to enter the reception hall.
So he comforted Xiao Ye Zi for a while, and then carefully entrusted her to Jia Cong's care.Jia Cong sternly promised that Cong'er would take good care of the little niece, and Daddy Xiong would also take good care of Baby Xiong.Jia Amnesty first asked Mama Xiong to go out to pick wild fruits, then exchanged fists with Jia Cong, told the servants a few words, and rushed over by himself.
Sure enough, I saw that the monk was lame-headed and shaggy, and the Taoist was lame and disheveled, somewhat polluting the appearance of the city.Jia She rushed over and asked, "Dare you guys recognize Fairy Jing Huan?"
The monk and Taoist were taken aback for a moment, but they said, "I can recognize it."
Jia Amnesty asked urgently: "May I ask who is in charge of the Jing Huan Fairy? Is it under the care of the Jade Emperor or the Taishang Laojun? Is it under the care of the Queen Mother or the Nuwa Empress?"
The monk didn't know the way, so he asked, "What does the benefactor mean?"
"I want to sue." Jia She said with a snort, "Who cares who owns her. I go to which temple to sue. Sue her for spreading pornographic knowledge to minors."
The Taoist monk was caught off guard and was taken aback by what he said. "Benefactor, Fairy Jing Huan is an outsider."
Jia Amnesty said with a sad face: "You know, when she led my nephew Baoyu to sleepwalk in the illusory world, Baoyu was only 11 years old. What did she teach our children? How to teach an 11-year-old boy how to hide from his parents? Playing with women! He also said that he was entrusted by the heroic spirit of my ancestors. Did my ancestors entrust her to teach his smartest descendants how to play with women? If it weren't for my wisdom, I would have separated him from those maids. How many maids would replace her? Did he die for the crime? How did his parents know that there was a woman who taught him that in a dream? They must think that it was taught badly by the people around them."
The monk was dumb.
The lame Taoist was about to speak, how could Jia She give him a chance to speak?These plug-in gods must be knocked out with one brick.
"I also promised 'Keqing' to Baoyu as his wife. Whose name is 'Keqing'? That is the daughter-in-law of Brother Rong who has gone! Baoyu's nephew and daughter-in-law! Seducing an 11-year-old boy to play with a woman is not counted, but seducing He! Do you think our family is all dead?" Jia She grabbed the Taoist priest, "Tell me quickly, who is her boss? Is it Empress Nuwa?"
How can monks and Taoists tell him?The Taoist was pulled by his arm, but he was very calm: "Do you know that there was a plant on the bank of the West Ling River that day..."
Jia Amnesty interrupted him impatiently: "I know this. There is a waiter in the Chixia Palace who is bored and waters a grass every day. What does this have to do with teaching an 11-year-old boy to play with women! I asked It’s Jing Huan, it has nothing to do with others. What rules does Jing Huan teach an 11-year-old boy to play with women, don’t talk about him!” He didn’t give them a chance to speak, and then said: “Forget it, don’t worry about it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you, just tell me who Jing Huan's boss is." He pretended that he didn't care about anything, as long as he knew the answer.
The monk and the Taoist were really irrefutable, and they refused to tell him the truth, they glanced at each other.The lame Taoist suddenly broke free from Jia She's claws, and the two of them stamped their feet and disappeared out of thin air.There was a voice in the air, "The destiny cannot be..."
Jia She was not willing to be heard, and hurriedly shouted: "You two wait, you two are covering up! You are the same as that man named Jing Huan!"
Naturally no one answered him.Jia Amnesty put up his airs and came out with a sullen face and told the people in front that if he met these two in the future, he couldn't help but tie them up immediately!
The author has something to say: I have always felt that Fairy Jinghuan can only be responsible for the affair between Baoyu and Xiren.As a child, Baoyu has absolutely no ability to distinguish.Xiren is a slave girl, so naturally she will only obey.If it weren't for him, Baoyu would have been stuffed with a book of erotic pictures by Jia Zheng before the big wedding, or had been stuffed with erotic books by other friends when he was half a child, and he would never have reached that age early.

The couplet at Xiao Qi's door was written by Jin Zi himself, welcome to make a brick.
Peng Run arrived first, wearing a gauze hat and sitting in the pavilion, accompanied by Jiang Wu's wife Zou Shi.Not long after, Jiang Wu accompanied Qi Zhou and Jia Amnesty also arrived.
