Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian wandered around the study unconsciously, walked countless circles, stared at the distance for a long time with his eyes over the window lattice, and fought and weighed fiercely in his mind: Is it an official?Still private?

Thinking of a small guard camp, there are so many open and secret struggles. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the court, it is not possible for one person to be brave and resourceful. You must have someone to support you to gain a firm foothold.

As the saying goes, a hero with three gangs, someone in the court is easy to be an official!

In the end, Jia Lian sat down again, picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Wang Ziteng, and then knocked on the table, Longer came in a gust of wind and knelt down: "What orders does Second Master have!"

Jia Lian dropped the letter: "Send it to the palace, and hand it over to the third master of the Wang family!"

Jia Lian waited in the study. After half an hour, Pan You'an brought back five large carts, swaggered into the Rongguo Mansion through the side door, and then quickly lifted five large boxes with brass locks from the carts, and carried them straight into the room. Daylilies Hall.

Everyone knows that Pan You'an is taking care of business for Jia Lian, and he should be responsible for bringing in a few large boxes next year. Therefore, this group of people is not eye-catching.

Later, as if to prove Pan Youan's behavior, Sister Feng carried a large box with a brass lock back to Rongqingtang, Jia's mother's residence, but Pan Youan brought back mushrooms, fungus and lotus root powder from Huguang.

Turning around, he said that Wang Ziteng, the third prince of the Wang family, was a close minister of the emperor just like Jia Lian, and his treatment was just the opposite. He was the emperor's confidant and was ordered to be responsible for the safety of the palace during the Spring Festival.From the night of New Year's Eve, they will be on duty in the palace, and they will not be able to leave the palace until after the New Year's Eve.

Therefore, he is now taking a bath early and is relaxing at home, cooperating with ordinary disciples to clean up guests, disciples and old officials gather together, recite poems and Fu, drink and have fun, so happy.

Unexpectedly, his elder brother Wang Zisheng secretly told him: "Brother Feng's son-in-law has sent a letter again!" Hearing Jia Lian's letter, Wang Ziteng suddenly felt ominous.Probably that great aunt got into trouble again.

For Mrs. Wang, Wang Ziteng was very helpless, but he had no choice but to take care of it. He turned around the flower hall with a smile, and said haha ​​to a group of drinkers who were cooking wine and discussing Taoism: "Everyone, feel free, I have a private matter ahead, just come when you go."

All the officials of the Qing Dynasty were drinking poems and wine, and no matter whether the master's family was rude or not, they didn't think they were afraid: "My lord, do as you please!"

The old brothers of the Wang family came to the study and looked at Jia Lian's beautiful lower script. Wang Ziteng frowned and his eyes were dizzy. It was the same letter last time, which caused the Wang family to lose face.

Seeing that his younger brother was hesitant, Wang Zisheng handed over the letter paper: "Third brother, the son-in-law has written clearly and wants you to sign it!"

The letter was clearly addressed to the patriarch of the Wang clan. Wang Ziteng felt heavy in his heart, and it was definitely not a good thing to ask the patriarch to come forward.He knew that there must be something wrong with their aunt, otherwise, Jia Lian wouldn't have sent someone over in such a careless manner.

These days, Wang Ziteng thought that he treated Jia Lian very well, that the Weng and his sons-in-law should have some respect, and Jia Lian was also very respectful to him before, but unexpectedly, something happened in a blink of an eye.

Wang Ziteng couldn't help smiling bitterly. Once upon a time, he was a dignified leader of the bodyguards, ministers, and favorite ministers of the emperor. He actually wanted to see the face of this niece and son-in-law.

Jia Amnesty, the heir of the Jia family, has been trampled on by him all his life.

Hey, Wang Ziteng couldn't help sighing, this is really a feng shui turn, who told the Wang family not to live up to expectations!

However, the prince let go of his anger, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he would usually put the interests of the family first when it comes to such important family matters.

Opening the letter paper and taking a look, Wang Ziteng was so angry that his veins burst out, and he handed the letter paper to Wang Zisheng bitterly: "Look at what our aunt did!"

At such a time, Wang Ziteng's anger and resentment disappeared, and he felt a little grateful to Jia Lian. If such a thing made trouble in the Yamen, as long as there was a little rumor, the reputation of the Wang family would be discredited, not to mention being an official, the Wang family I'm afraid there will be no place to stand in Beijing.

This matter became a big deal, and after a moment of silence, Wang Ziteng gritted his teeth and told Wang Zisheng: "Second brother entertain the guests for me, I have to go to Rong Mansion right away!"

Wang Zisheng saw the content of the letter clearly, and was very angry. It was strange that Wang Ren acted like that last time, so it turned out that this was the root of the trouble.It's just that right now is not the time for my family to settle the matter, Yin asked: "Should I call the second wife, let's go and see Brother Feng together, and we can also mediate one or two?"

Wang Ziteng waved his hand; "No, the matter is a foregone conclusion. He wrote the letter because he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. It's the best ending to settle it in private. It's useless. We wronged Brother Feng before and didn't make decisions for her , this time, don't make any more incidents, so as not to chill the child's heart, maybe in the future, these nephews will have to rely on her, an aunt, to take care of them."

Wang Zisheng slammed the table bitterly: "The eldest sister looks fine at home, why did she become like this when she went out? I thought that after what happened last time, she could change it, but I didn't expect it to get worse, and it was a waste of us to help her." Mediation, is she not leaving a way of life for herself, nor for her natal family?"

Wang Ziteng just waved his hands with a dark face: "Don't say anything, just set up a car for me!"

Wang Zisheng looked at Wang Ziteng's face ashen, and felt a little worried: "Third brother, let me accompany you,"

Wang Ziteng interrupted him: "No need, this time I'm not going to discuss, but I have to make a decision. You must be prepared in your heart, the eldest sister may not be able to keep her."

A compatriot of the same mother, the love for him since childhood, Wang Zisheng couldn't bear it, but he turned his head away: "You're a sinner!"

At this time, it would be great if Sister Feng had a child, everyone can always discuss it, how can it be better now?

He is at a loss!

Wang Zisheng is not a decisive person, otherwise, he would not pass the responsibility of parents to his younger brother Wang Ziteng.

Here, Jia Lian and Sister Feng sat opposite each other. Sister Feng was silent for a while, wiped the corners of her eyes, and asked, "Send her to the family temple, is it okay? At least save your life!"

Jia Lian shook his head: "Usury exploitation is not tolerated by national law. If we don't solve it today, someone will strangle our necks tomorrow. Me, you, and our children will not end well."

Sister Feng was startled, and touched her stomach. Although she hadn't been diagnosed, she could feel the beating of life here. She once wished that Mrs. Wang would die immediately, but now she felt sorry for her, who would not die well at such an old age.

However, between her husband and children and her aunt, she did not hesitate to prefer the latter, but Sister Feng was very embarrassed: "If my parents come, what should I do?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "I've already written down the reasons for the matter. If your third uncle is a smart person, he should make a decision. This matter is no different from what happened last time. My family can be big or small. This time is not the time to bargain, it is about The common destiny of the people of our two prefectures. I believe that the third uncle will make the most beneficial decision for everyone."

Immediately, Jia Lian comforted Sister Feng: "If I come forward for everything, I won't embarrass you."

Sister Feng sighed when she heard the words, she really didn't know how things got to this point.

At this moment, the little girl outside announced: "Second master and second grandma, Long'er from the front yard sent word that it is grandma's third uncle Wang and third master who has arrived, and the carriage has already arrived at the gate of the house."

Hearing this, Jia Lian strode away: "I'll go to meet you!"

As for Sister Feng, it's up to her to decide whether she will show up or not, but Jia Lian has made up her mind, and she will never back down this time.

For a while, Jia Lian arrived at the Chuihua Gate, but saw the prince walking slowly with his sleeves on his hands, with a stern expression, but no sign of depression.

This is everyone's demeanor, and Jia Lian couldn't help being respectful.

Jia Lian quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Originally, the son-in-law was supposed to come to welcome his father-in-law to the house in person, but the stolen evidence here is important, and the son-in-law must do it himself to be at ease."

Wang Ziteng smiled: "In just a short period of time, you have grown so much, it is impressive!"

Jia Lian bowed: "Father-in-law has too much reputation, but my son-in-law is ashamed!"

Wang Ziteng stopped in his tracks: "What do you want, just say it!"

Jia Lian smiled: "My son-in-law is still the same old saying, I hope the whole family is safe and the children and grandchildren are prosperous."

Wang Ziteng nodded: "I see! I want to see Zhou Rui, is that okay?"

"Father-in-law wants to see what's wrong, my son-in-law is trying to use his father-in-law's help to hold his eyes," Jia Lian said, poking his finger into the sky, and lowered his voice: "This matter seems to be involved there, so..."

Wang Ziteng's face suddenly became serious. If it is true, the elder sister really can't keep it, otherwise it will be a catastrophe. Those people don't care about the civil June Feixue for their own way of life.In order to keep the two governments from being implicated, only one person died.

At that moment, the sons-in-law and weng arrived at the Xuancao Hall, and Sister Feng had been waiting for her third uncle for a long time. When the uncles and nephews met, don't feel a little emotional.

Wang Ziteng is very satisfied that Sister Feng can come forward at this time, and feels that it may not be a way out to fully assist Jia Lian in the future.

As for Wang Ren, Wang Ziteng had a headache when he thought of him.

Sister Feng vomited because she was excited. Sister Feng didn't feel it, but Wang Ziteng and Jia Lian were very excited, and they secretly looked forward to it: "Please call the imperial doctor!"

Long'er got the news and hurriedly took the famous post from Jia's mansion to invite the imperial physician without mentioning it.

Wang Ziteng was really badass. When he saw Zhou Rui, he stepped forward and punched him in the face. When it came out, he collapsed on the ground and fainted in pain.

Wang Ziteng's kung fu of smashing peaches has subdued many fierce enemies, and it is really overkill to deal with Zhou Rui.

Wang Ziteng really hated these slaves who instigated their masters to act stupid behind their backs, so he took a cruel hand and cut off his life, not afraid that he would have a psychological breakdown and hysteria.

Then, Wang Ziteng pinched him, hung Zhou Ruiti who had woken up, and threw him heavily on the ground, then pinched his mouth and threatened: "Don't think that you escaped last time, this time You can also escape, don't try to deceive me, you know what the Wang family relies on to start their business. You can support this big stall of accounts, you must be a smart person, no matter who is hiding behind you, you dare to pull my Wang family back Copper pea, I can crush him, let alone you and the Leng family? Tell you, when I killed you, you were still playing with mud. It is easier for me to kill you than to kill bedbugs!"

Zhou Rui caught his breath, but he cursed loudly: "You cannibals who look like tigers and wolves, you look like a human, but in fact you are just selfish, vicious, greedy villains, poisonous women of the Wang family, In order to make money, we forced our husband and wife to do so many bad things for her. Every year, our husband and wife spend tens of thousands of silver on her account, and we are not satisfied. life or death."

"Loyalty is useless. It can't be exchanged for a life. We are also human beings. You beast-like creatures slaughter us like animals for your own benefit. But one day, you will also be enslaved and slaughtered." , just wait, today is my Zhou family, tomorrow it will be your Wang family's Jia family!"

"Hahaha, come on, it's just a dead word!"

Wang Ziteng sneered: "Do you think that if you die, you will be able to pay off, or do you think that the prince of Zhongyi County will come to save you?"

After speaking, he grabbed Zhou Rui again and shook his mouth: "Who do you think you are? A savior who fights against injustice? It's true that the king of Zhongyi County is a descendant, but so what? Now it's a concubine who is crushed to death." The emperor is happy with the birth of the son? Do you think the emperor doesn't know what the king of Zhongyi County has done? It's just to hinder the emperor. If the emperor dies one day, you and your in-laws, Lengjia, will just wait for the family to be wiped out. "

Zhou Rui's face turned pale when he heard the words: "It's impossible, he promised us,"

Wang Ziteng sneered: "He himself is in danger, what promise you? Is it useful? Let me tell you, the whole capital is under my control. I said that Leng Zixing is a thief, so he has to obediently go to prison."

Zhou Rui's eyes were about to split open: "You are disregarding human life, you will die!"

Wang Ziteng kicked him: "You are dead, and I don't care whether I die or die, you all die first!"

At this point, Zhou Rui was completely in despair, and immediately languished on the ground: "I said, can you let my daughter and nephew go?"

Jia Lian sneered when she heard the words: "Why, you don't even want your son-in-law? Just now you scolded us for being human-faced and beast-hearted, so what about you yourself? A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, and you don't even let your son-in-law go. How dare you open your mouth to talk about people!"

Zhou Rui sneered, he didn't pay attention to Jia Lian at all, but looked at Wang Ziteng: "I won't tell you, if you want to find out who is behind the scenes, it will be impossible if you don't have ten or eight years. What about the two. How about it, do you agree to my conditions?"

Wang Ziteng nodded: "I promise you, on the day the Leng family is destroyed, I will rescue your daughter and nephew first!"

Knowing that the situation was over, Zhou Rui took out a jade token from his pocket and threw it on the ground: "I've never seen this person before, and I used this jade token as a proof for my transactions with them."

Wang Ziteng took it and looked at it over and over again. There was nothing special about it, and he threw it to Zhou Rui: "You want to deceive me, this is just an ordinary jade tablet."

Zhou Rui said with a smile: "We meet each other in the middle of the night. This jade tablet will glow, and a special mark will appear on it. Everyone's mark is different. My mark is a rich peony, which represents prosperity and wealth."

Jia Lian's face suddenly changed. He remembered the bills from his previous life, and he was afraid that it was Wang's scheming to trick Sister Feng into taking advantage of her.Because he tightly grasped the jade tablet, he glared angrily: "The glory and wealth represent the Rongfu? You are so courageous!"

Zhou Rui smiled sarcastically: "It's on behalf of the second wife, what can you do to her?"

Jia Lian glared at Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng rolled his eyelids: "I will give you an explanation, take me to see your old lady."

Jia Lian accompanied Wang Ziteng to Rongqing Hall to meet Jia's mother. Jia's mother was very surprised, but warmly received Wang Ziteng.

After the guests and hosts sat down, the prince stood up, bowed to Jia Mu, and said: "The younger generation shouldn't cause trouble with the old lady, but there is a matter in my family that I have to discuss with the old lady. I couldn't sleep at midnight, dreaming that my late mother was trapped in the blood pond hell, and weeping day and night, begging me, let us do seven-day dojo for him to get rid of evil obstacles."

"My nephew invited an eminent monk to calculate that as long as filial men and filial daughters recite the scriptures day and night in front of the altar for seven days, my mother can be rescued from the sea of ​​suffering, and then she can be entrusted with a human body. But my nephew, my emperor's life, has no time for a double body, and my second sister is far away. Jiangnan, it’s hard to come by, and my eldest brother died early, only my second brother and eldest sister can take on this task, and my younger nephew knows that her daughter’s marriage is no longer her mother’s family, but it’s an emergency, so she has to do it.”

"Therefore, the little nephew hesitated again and again, but still had the audacity to ask the old lady for mercy and help my mother."

Wang Ziteng knelt down while talking, and for a while, he burst into tears.Jia's mother was very surprised when she heard this unimaginable thing, but was immediately moved by Wang Ziteng's filial piety, and said: "Your mother has a son like this, and it is worthwhile to suffer more. My nephew, please, as long as the second wife is willing, I don't." No promise."

From the moment Wang Ziteng entered the door, he sang and chanted like flowing clouds and flowing water. Jia Lian was dumbfounded and admired secretly in his heart.

Such a person is not successful, and God will not agree!

Wang's heart is not going well these days, but fortunately she just received a large amount of money the day before yesterday, and she finally felt happier, thinking about going to the palace to ask the third brother to send the money in for Yuan Chun.What a blessing to the soul, the jade bracelet outside came in and reported: "Return to my wife, the third uncle is here!"

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to greet her: "What are you doing, quickly invite uncle and master in."

Yu Chuan said: "My uncle is talking to the old lady at the old lady's place. I heard that he is going to take the wife home to live for a while. The servants came to report after hearing about it."

Wang stopped her steps, turned back and sat down, frowned and thought to herself: "I'm busy at the twelfth lunar month, why did my brother take me to Ning?" Then he showed his face, who cares, he was going back to his mother's house, it's too late.
