The Return of Lord Qiang of the Red Mansion System

Today's autumn sun is fine, the Zhumen are open, a beam of extremely brilliant sunlight pours down through the green shade, covering the young man's body, the brilliance is so dazzling that people dare not look directly at it.

Because he didn't go out, he only wore ordinary clothes.The round-neck gown with light green bamboo pattern is not tied, it only covers the body loosely, but it looks more and more elegant, tall and handsome.With elegant and picturesque eyebrows, like a crane flying in the clouds, it stands out from the crowd.

The people who came to announce the good news had also been to other Xie Yuan's homes in previous years, and most of the people they saw had plain faces.What's more, when he heard it right, he was overjoyed, phlegm-obsessed and crazy, and made a lot of unbearable things, which was even more obscene.It is nothing like cloud and mud from what we see today.

These two people came here for the reward money from the Ning Mansion, but after seeing Jia Qiang, they suddenly felt that even if there was no reward, just looking at this handsome young man Xie Yuan was worth it.

Even Sister Feng, who wanted to strip Jia Qiang of her skin, was stunned when she saw him come out.After waking up, she quickly said: "You are the one responsible for this matter, it has nothing to do with you, who else has to do with it? This maid said that you raped her, and here is the physical evidence. What do you have to say?"

Jia Qiang's eyes turned to Man'er who was still kneeling on the ground with her head bowed and crying, and finally she fell back on Sister Feng, with a half-smile: "Even if I have something to say, is Second Aunt Lian willing to listen? It's better to look at the evidence first. "

Hearing this, Sister Feng's heart, which had been slightly suppressed before, suddenly jumped up again: weird, really weird.She had experienced Jia Qiang's verbal skills before, and knew that he could make a person so mean that he couldn't lift his head, so she wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in to avoid embarrassment.Today he backed down, could it be that he still has a back hand?

Before staring at Jia Qiang, the officials and scholars who forgot to speak for a while listened to their conversations, suddenly came back to their senses, and then looked at Jia Qiang with very strange eyes: "This should Is it the new Mr. Xie Yuan Jia Qiang? I don’t know if this maid is..."

Although there were all sorts of doubts in her heart, at this moment she was already riding a tiger, and Sister Feng was beating a small drum in her heart, but she had no choice but to answer according to her original plan: "If I knew you two were coming, I would not come. Actually, it's nothing, just Xiao The child was messing around with the servant girl like a greedy cat, but came into the uncle's room. As an aunt, I have to come to ask, because I broke the rules, I got angry, and I didn't think that today was his favor Days. Since this is the case, I will avoid it for the time being and talk about it later.”

She kept saying that it was not the right time, but she pointed the finger at Jia Qiang again.Looking at the two men, they all became shocked, and their four eyes went back and forth to inspect Man'er and Jia Qiang. Sister Feng knew that the fire was coming, so she gave Ping'er a soft push.

Caught off guard, Ping'er almost slipped and fell. Although he stabilized his body, the package in his hand rolled on the ground, and a crumpled bed sheet spread out, with bloody spots in the middle, supported by the plain white color, which was quite shocking.

Sister Feng pretended to exclaim: "Ping'er, you should be more careful. If you overturn this kind of filth, you will bump into two uncles from the official school!"

The matter has come to this point, how can the two people still not understand what happened.There was a family scandal in high school, and the two of them had never seen such a thing in their life.Surprised, I couldn't help feeling contempt for Jia Qiang: I read the sage books for nothing, but I turned out to be such a jerk inside!

Jia Qiang didn't seem to see the faces of the people in the official school, and glanced at the bed sheet, the smile on her lips deepened: "Man'er, is this your evidence?"

Kneeling for a long time, finally got Jia Qiang's words, Man'er didn't know whether to be happy or angry: "Exactly."

"That's amazing." Jia Qiang shook her head, with a look of surprise on her face: "If this is solid evidence, then what about the child in your stomach?"

"Child?!" Sister Feng reacted extremely quickly, exclaimed, and immediately stared at Man'er's belly, as if wishing to tear off her shirt and open her belly to see what happened.

Man'er's face was pale, her lips moved a few times, and she denied loudly: "I don't know what Qiang Lord is talking about!"

"It's okay to deny it. You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from yourself. Why do you think I made you kneel for so long?"

Jia Qiang smiled slightly, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Just after you came here, I specially asked someone to move the stone cauldron in the courtyard to the eaves, and then lit the musk. This spice is also worth some money. You have probably never used it before? Do you think it smells good? After smelling it for two or three hours, do you feel anything wrong? For example, body aches, dizziness, stomach pain, swollen lower part—it’s a pity for this child, With a confused mother, not to mention taking advantage of Lian Erye's childless, desperately keeping this child and earning a future, but being at the mercy of a vicious woman. After such a toss, the child is afraid that he will die if he never sees the light of day. It's really pitiful to die young. I don't know if Second Uncle Lian will arrange the teeth of the children in the future, will he remember him?"

Man'er originally planned to deny it to the end, but Jia Qiang's words were like thorny vines, climbing up her mind inch by inch, slowly twisting her original determination into pieces.Following Jia Qiang's words, she suddenly felt pain in her abdomen, and she was sweating profusely.

Thinking of Jia Liansu's tenderness and sweetness, and thinking of what Sister Feng said about being a servant.There is no need to think about which one is more honorable, a bright future or being a slave for generations.She finally made a decision, clutched her stomach tightly, and cried loudly: "Grandma, please forgive me! I already have a child with the second master! This fact has nothing to do with Master Qiang. I also forged it!"

She knew Sister Feng's temperament very well, but she still took a little chance, hoping that under the eyes of everyone, Sister Feng could only hold back no matter how much bitterness she felt, and recognize this child first.In order to take the matter on himself and take Sister Feng out.I hope that Sister Feng will think of her more, show mercy, and spare her and the child.

But before Sister Feng could react, Jia Qiang was "surprised" and said, "You have a child? The second aunt is such a shrewd person, and the second uncle has been worrying about the issue of children. She will not know that the person in the room is pregnant. ? I don’t think you did something good with some boy, and you want to mess with Uncle Lian again.”

Man'er felt her stomach hurt more and more, and she was drowsy, so she couldn't wonder why Jia Qiang pretended not to know that she had a child, and quickly defended herself: "Even if I have the courage to do so, I wouldn't dare to do it." Lie. This child really belongs to the second master. Two months ago when our grandma returned to her mother's house, the second master came to find me by the way. That's when the higher-ups were there. Slaves—"

"By the way?" Before she could finish speaking, Sister Feng suddenly interrupted her in a sharp voice: "You two have hooked up already?"

"Please, grandma, please forgive me... It's the second master who first—ah—"

Man'er's begging for mercy ended in a scream.It was Sister Feng who was full of hostility and kicked her in the stomach: "What a slave who betrayed the master! See if I can't beat you to death! Do you want a mother to be more expensive than a child? Dreaming!"

Unexpectedly, Sister Feng was so ruthless, everyone was stunned for a moment.It wasn't until Sister Feng rushed forward to kick Man'er again that she woke up like a dream, and hurriedly persuaded her to pull her away.Sister Feng was still not reconciled, she struggled to scratch Man'er's face, but was stopped by Ping'er and others, and tried to persuade her repeatedly.

When it was pulled down, not only Man'er's clothes and hair were messed up, but Sister Feng was also in a mess.The pair of golden phoenix hairpins on her head had been thrown away somewhere, and the messy bun was covered with sweat on her face, and her delicate makeup was stained.The clothes on her body were also ripped and torn during the pulling, and she didn't have the charming face just now, but she looked like a crazy woman.

Sister Feng didn't realize it, she just yelled and scolded Man'er.Until she was half hugged and half dragged to the Rong Mansion by her confidant maids, she could still hear her scolding.

Because she has always been domineering and flamboyant, the servants of the Ning Mansion were happy to watch this good show for nothing.It wasn't until Sister Feng walked away that she was surprised that there were still foreigners there.

The two people from the official school were also very embarrassed.Just as they were looking at each other, they saw Jia Qiang as if nothing happened, and bowed to them: "A little family matter, I made you two laugh, please come in with me, and sit down and have a cup of tea."

Seeing Jia Qiang as if nothing had happened, the two of them also pretended to be ignorant.They watched from beginning to end, knowing that Jia Qiang was really innocent in this matter.That being the case, the little whispers in my heart disappeared.After Jia Qiang let her into the courtyard, she had a good tea, met Jia Jing again, and got a big reward, and even forgot about it.

After the conversation was over, when seeing the guests out, one of them walked past the stone cauldron with lingering fragrance, stopped suddenly and took a few deep breaths, and praised with a smile: "It smells so fragrant, what kind of spice is this?"

"It's nothing, it's just ordinary incense sticks with various flower petals." Jia Qiang laughed.

The two were full of praise for Jia Qiang's ingenuity, and after being polite, they left the Ning Mansion, not forgetting to show off to the idlers gathered outside the door to beg for rewards: "Just wait, Master Xie Yuan is very generous. Not you."

He ordered his servants to prepare copper coins and show them to the happy people outside.Back in the yard again, Jia Jing asked with great interest: "I wanted to ask you just now, but I couldn't ask you because of the guests: What did you do to force that hot pepper to piss you off in public?"

When Jia Qiang confronted Sister Feng, Jia Jing didn't go out, but listened to their conversation in the courtyard.I was quite puzzled by Sister Feng's sudden uproar, and thought it must be her grandson who had done something wrong.

"It's nothing, but it's nothing more than hitting a snake seven inches." Jia Qiang picked up the copper pot for watering flowers and poured out all the lingering fragrance in the stone cauldron. Seeing that the servants have a body, they will find a reason to find the bad luck. In addition, she is jealous and can't allow anyone to get close to Jia Lian's body, so Man'er dared not tell the truth to her before. Knowing the truth suddenly, and Listening to me deliberately mentioning the hardships of the son, how many fires are lit, are you afraid that she won't get dizzy?"

"Ha, it's strange that I said you could bear it for so long, so it was because you were waiting for the best opportunity." Jia Jing didn't think that the grandson did too much, but thought it was too light: "Wang Xifeng only picked it up." In your good life, there has been such a disturbance in our house. I have to talk about it, so that she will live with her tail between her legs like Wang."

But Jia Qiang stopped her grandfather: "No need. She is smarter than Wang, and more greedy than Wang. With her searching and rotting the Rongfu, it saves me the effort to do it. Besides, the more she has to do, the more she is right. I'm getting better and better."

In the past three years, Jia Jing saw that Jia Qiang acted prudently and was more mature than those a few years older, so he made some noise, concealed the reason, and told him that his parents died because of Rongfu.So it's not surprising to hear this now, only that Jia Qiang hates Jirong Mansion and wants to get rid of it quickly.

She stroked her beard and was about to speak, but Jia Qiang said again: "Although there is no need to put her to death for the time being, an apology is necessary."

After hearing this, Jia Jing couldn't help laughing: "In the past few years, you have taken away many good things from Mrs. Shi in different ways, and now she pretends to have a headache when she hears your name, and she dares not even see you. You. It won't be long before it's that hot pepper's turn to have a headache."

Jia Qiang said with an innocent face: "It is only natural to pay off debts and compensate for mistakes. Whether she hurts or not, I have to satisfy me first."

"There is a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea. The Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling. Feng Lazi always said that sweeping the cracks in her Wang's house would be enough for Rong's house to live for a few more lives. Her house has more good things than old lady Shi. You Just build it up."

Jia Jing laughed, stretched his arms, and asked suddenly: "By the way, how did you tell that maid to defect? ​​I didn't hear a word."

"Oh? I told her that musk was burning in the cauldron, and asked her to think about whether to keep the child's glory, or let Wang Xifeng toss and bury the child. In the end, she made the most sensible choice."

"Musk?" Jia Jing didn't expect it to be so, and after a moment of astonishment, he laughed even louder: "You are a clever ghost. Did you calculate that Wang Xifeng would not touch this, and the maid who was biting at random didn't know the point of Musk?" It smells like burning, that’s why you’ve been walking for so long?”

Jia Qiang just laughed: "She is stupid, and she doesn't think about where the musk comes from in a man's room like me."

"Little slicker." Jia Jing smiled and pinched his face, ignoring his grandson's suddenly stiff expression, and asked, "Let's have a good time today, and we will have a banquet for people outside. What do you want to eat?" ? I'll let Jiao Er give instructions to the kitchen."

"It's good to pick up what grandfather likes to eat. I still have to go to Fengyuanfang, so I won't delay." Jia Qiang rubbed her face angrily and said.It's not that he wants to please his grandfather, but that he really has no obsession with food.The portion is sufficient and the taste is not bad.

Hearing this, Jia Jing was a little unhappy: "You kid, what a big deal it is to pass the Jieyuan exam, besides, you are young. If you were placed in another house, you would be so happy that you couldn't find it. You look like a person who has nothing to do. Don't take it to heart. I want to congratulate you, but you say there is still something to do."

Jia Qiang said disapprovingly, "This fame didn't just fall from the sky for nothing, it was earned by me through hard work and reading. Treating outsiders as usual is already troublesome, so why should our own family do this?"

Jia Jing was amused by what he said about his family, and he waved his hand to signal to let him go: "That's right, there are so many polite manners in my family. As you like, go as you want, just come back on time for dinner."

Grinning her teeth at her grandfather, Jia Qiang led the young man to lead the horse and headed slowly towards Fengyuanfang in the East Hutong.

Fengyuanfang is the courtyard workshop he opened three years ago with the house stolen from Jiamu, which means to meet the source from both sides.According to his idea, the quadruple house was divided into several rooms, and each room had only one exit. The servants who came and went were deaf husbands and dumb servants who had passed away. They are not allowed to enter the hospital at all.The signboard is that it is confidential enough to allow people to speak freely.

Because of the novelty of this business, at first few customers would spend money to book a room in the back room. It was only thanks to the famous chef Jia Qiang hired with a lot of money to open a few tables a day that he could barely maintain the expenses.For a few months, it was like a restaurant here.

But gradually, as the number of customers increased, people gradually discovered the benefits of Fengyuanfang: it has the convenience of a restaurant, but it is not as crowded as a restaurant; it has the elegance of Wanxianglou, but it does not have the atmosphere of a romantic place .So people began to come here to discuss business and official affairs.

Over time, there are more and more customers.Jia Qiang took the opportunity to add some new rules: For example, the wing room with the most luxurious furnishings and the best location will not be reserved for strangers, but only for regular customers; if two people place an order at the same time, regular customers will be given priority, and so on.

In order to compete for this familiar word, many customers were taught to run more frequently.It has become a habit to come and go again and again, and because the place is really good, I recommend it to relatives and friends.If you spread the word ten to ten, more people will come.In the first half of the year, everyone in Beijing knew that there was a Fengyuanfang here.Gradually, many imitators were born, but after all, Jia Qiang's store is the "orthodox", so the famous people still love to come here.

Because of his great reputation, even though Jia Qiang didn't show up much and only let Uncle Sheng do it if he had any ideas, everyone still knew that he was the boss.

Although Jia's family is gradually exhausted and there are many difficulties in the mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, it is still full of flowers.In addition, Uncle Sheng has long sleeves and is good at dancing, and he is very familiar with many powerful housekeepers.The so-called seventh-rank officials in the prime minister's concierge, these housekeepers are out of the house, and they seem to be the second masters. Therefore, there are many people who see Fengyuanfang's business enthusiasm, but no one dares to make any suggestion about him.Except for the last time, Sister Feng was in the inner room, and she didn't know how deep she was to stroke the tiger's beard, but she was ashamed for nothing.

Except for the thousands of taels of silver spent at the beginning of the reconstruction, as well as the monthly wages and daily expenses, Fengyuanfang is almost free.Not to mention making a fortune every day, but making a fortune every month is not an exaggeration.Over the past three years, Jia Qiang has saved 10,000 to [-] taels of silver by relying on it. In addition, he has successively knocked from the Rong Mansion and inherited his parents' inheritance. Now he is a little rich man with a net worth of [-]+ taels.

Because she has been busy with her studies these past few years, and Fengyuanfang and the former small silverware shop are both making money, Jia Qiang didn't pay much attention to business matters.Now that he has won the exam, he only needs to take another Jinshi exam, and after a few years of activities, find a way to donate a idle job, and he's done.Some thoughts that Jia Qiang had been brewing for a long time came up again.

Seeing the signboard of her own store from a distance, Jia Qiang steered the horse and walked slowly, thinking to chat with Uncle Sheng today to see what kind of business is popular in Beijing, when suddenly a store clerk came over sweating profusely. He said in a panic: "Master, it's not good, something happened in the store! Someone shouted why he left and lost money, and asked him to use the shop to compensate him for the loss!"
