The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But when the sixth prince suddenly showed his power to punish Jia Lian, the sage couldn't figure it out.The affairs of the Rongguo Mansion have always been under the control of Feng Ziying, so he hurriedly ordered him to go and inquire.Feng Ziying called Jia Cong to talk for a long time, Jia Cong groaned and said: "Anyway, I have offended people, don't ask Brother Feng, and don't ask Second Brother, he dare not say it."

The sage thought for a long time after hearing the news, and asked, "You and Jia Lian are quite familiar, what do you guess?"

Feng Ziying kowtowed and said: "According to my minister, there is nothing wrong with Jia Lian, except for the word 'color'. This is not the first time he has been wronged."

The sage couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that Jia Lian seduced the sixth woman?"

Feng Ziying lowered her head and said: "The Sixth Prince's woman is only in the mansion, and he can't see her, unless it's a foreigner with a bad background."

The sage thought about the old face of the sixth prince, and then thought about Jia Lian's handsome peach blossom face, and laughed: "Since ancient times, it is reasonable for Chang'e to love young people." Measure, why bother to make trouble with an ordinary small official."

Feng Ziying said: "Small officials don't matter, what matters is face."

The saint couldn't help laughing more and more.

But at this moment, Dai Quan came in and said, "The virtuous king is a thousand years old, please see me." The saint hurriedly ordered him to come in.

At that moment, Situ Pan entered the hall and said with a smile, "That bastard Jia Cong came to beg me to ask the saint for mercy and release Jia Lian."

The saint frowned slightly: "Why is this? Those impeached by Lao Liu are all messed up."

Situ Pan said: "I see that it would be better to temporarily move Jia Lian out. Sixth brother has warriors in his hands. If impeachment is useless, other methods will be used if the security is not complete."

The saint frowned: "He dares!"

Situ Pan smiled wryly and remained silent.

The saint was annoyed: "Does he treat me as a display?"

Situ Pan persuaded: "Third brother, wait a minute, the old man is still here for a while. Jia Lian looked like a dandy earlier; judging from his years in the court, he is extremely frivolous but practical. Let him go outside to experience the meeting If you don’t have enough, you can become a real talent.” He blinked as he spoke, indicating that he still had braids all over his body to catch.

The sage slapped the dragon so heavily that no one dared to say anything.With enough time for two cups of tea, he asked, "In your opinion, where should I move him?"

Situ Pan smiled and said, "Jia Cong pleaded and said that it would be best if his brother could go to Qiongzhou or Taiwan." He unceremoniously poured out all that Jia Cong said that day about "sea bans and shipyards".Hearing "Look at what the saint means, wait until the old saint is gone...", Feng Ziying couldn't help laughing.

The saint's face was a bit cloudy and uncertain, and he glanced at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "The minister and Jia Cong are very close, this must be said by that kid. His usual words are quite disrespectful to the old saint."

The sage snorted: "It's useless to guess what you want!" His face softened a little.

Situ Pan smiled and said: "Ruhai is his husband. I'm afraid Ruhai didn't pay attention to what he said. He is very clever. It's not surprising that he can guess the third brother's mind. Anyway, if there is Ruhai, the big house of the Jia family must be Our side. The second room, Jia Zheng is useless, Jia Baoyu is a nerd, Jia Huan will be the one who will be used in the future."

The sage nodded: "Students like Ruhai must be useful. How about the son of Jia Amnesty's personal soldier?"

Situ Pan said: "20 years later, there will be another Lin Hai."

The sage smiled and said, "I'll just wait."

Two days later, the imperial court issued a decree to transfer Jia Lian, the deputy envoy of the Tongzheng Envoy, to be the prefect of Taiwan!There was an uproar in the court.Jia Lian was originally of the fourth rank, but the prefect was from the fourth rank, not to mention down one level, and transferred to a barbaric land!It's almost the same as distribution.The sixth prince's people were so rampant that they almost raised their chins and eyebrows, but Jia Lian honestly took the order to thank him and behave like a man with his tail between his legs.Just one day later, the sage specially gave Jia Lian a Duan inkstone for his daily use!There was another burst of random guessing at the court.It is easy for courtiers to get rewards, but how difficult it is for saints to get daily use!The word "Duan" in Duanyan is also very thoughtful.

Lao Fuhe heard that Jia Lian was downgraded and released yesterday, so he buried himself at home and tried his best to write notes, trying to appeal for Jia Lian's grievance.But he got this letter before he finished correcting the notebook, laughed, tore up the manuscript of the notebook, twirled his beard and said to his son triumphantly: "Your father's eyes can be wrong! Hurry up and send me a good gift. Congratulations from the Rongguo Mansion!"

His son was stunned: "Congratulations? Master Jia has been relegated..."

Lao Fuhe hummed: "I still worry about whether I will be promoted in the future?" Nai walked away with his arms behind his back and his chest out.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing and said to Ping'er when he received the congratulatory gift from the Lao Mansion: "Second Master, this old boss is really winky!"

When Jia's mother heard that Jia Lian was going to be released, although she was depressed, what about Naitian's family?Then he called Wang Xifeng over and said, "Lian'er will go for at least three years, and the place is far away. Let Ping'er go with him. You and Meng'er Fu'er are still in the mansion."

Wang Xifeng already knew that going out this time was to avoid chaos, Taiwan is very close to Guangdong and Guangxi, and it would be cheaper to go to see Wang Ziteng, so she hurriedly said: "Second Master is reluctant to part with Menger, let me take me with me."

Mother Jia's face darkened: "It's rare that my wife is willing to part with Meng'er? Taiwan is thousands of miles away, how can Meng'er bear a child."

Wang Xifeng pushed [-] smoothly: "The grandson's daughter-in-law really has no choice but to let the second master go, and I hope the old ancestor will tell him."

Jia's mother immediately ordered someone to call Jia Lian to come over. Wang Xifeng said, "Second master hasn't left the Yamen yet, and there are many things at hand that I have to tell my colleagues." Jia's mother had to let him go back to the house and come again.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian asked his colleagues to have a drink at night, and when he came back drunk, he fell on the kang and did not move.Jiamu prepared a lot of words but never waited for him, so she smashed the teacup in anger.In the next few nights, Jia Lian was out socializing, and it was almost the second watch every day when he returned home, and he gradually forgot about Jia's mother calling him to go.

But Wang Xifeng arranged the accounts by herself, and invited Li Wan to come over and explain them one by one.

Yuanyang got this letter and quietly returned it to Jia Mu. Jia Mu was stunned for a long time and sighed: "My old lady is really old!"

On the other end, Jia Cong quietly slipped into the girls' yard to invite Tanchun Xichun together, and asked, "Sister Shi Jia is staying at our house these days, what do you think? Will you do something bad for us?" Because When Shi Nai returned to Beijing, people took Shi Xiangyun back.

Tanxi and the two were startled, and Tanchun asked, "What's not so good?"

Jia Cong said: "There is something I didn't tell the two elder sisters. Seeing that the ancestor is going to have his [-]th birthday, I'm afraid that day will come." one time.

Erchun was shocked!Xichun blurted out: "Then sister Lin is going to fall into the fire pit?"

Jia Cong said: "Isn't it? Their family is the emperor's family, and they are not looking at Sister Lin but Uncle Lin. There is really no way to make them let go. There is no choice but to run away."

Tanchun frowned and said, "Where are you going to flee to in the whole world?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Because, there is another matter. The Supreme Emperor has not lived for two years."

Erchun looked at each other, and Tanchun said: "So, is it possible that the situation in the court has changed in the past two years?"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "It's not just that there are changes, there are wars." I even sent the weapons for them. "Second elder brother's release is what I asked the virtuous king." He looked at the two elder sisters and said, "The fourth elder sister is still younger, the third elder sister must find a way to go south together. You are 15 years old this year, and the second uncle is a shameless, The old ancestor was snobbish and short-sighted. In case when the chaos started, which one accidentally got the upper hand, and someone with something important came down to ask for a marriage, they promised you out if they couldn't keep it together. Not to mention that the man Xu is good Lai, since the situation is chaotic, those who gain the upper hand and even the emperor may not be able to sit securely."

Xichun anxiously said: "Are you going to leave me behind?!"

Jia Cong said: "I have an idea, but I have to borrow Shi Jia's sister to pretend to be a fool for a while, but I don't know if she is willing. The two sisters can use this to get away, and even sister Lin can hit it off." Said once in a low voice.

After hearing this, Xichun immediately said, "I'll come!"

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "Sister, why bother with this reputation? I want to bother Sister Shijia to sing this play, just to make a personal deal with her. I helped us this time and took her with me. The place of Second Grandma Bao is reserved." Give it to her. If you don’t want to help, I’ll think of another way.”

Xichun said: "I am more suitable than Sister Yun. Think about it carefully, if Sister Yun came to sing this play, the third sister and I want to leave in the future, and there is no excuse. Who cares about the small reputation of the idea? After two years Naturally, I forgot. Since Concubine Hui's love for Sister Lin is only for her father, in the future I..." She blushed, "Could it be that she fell in love with me?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "That's what I said, it's not a good thing after all. It's better to let others go."

Tanchun also said: "I think the fourth girl is more suitable, after all, girl Yun is not our girl."

Jia Cong looked at the two of them, and said helplessly: "I also know that Fourth Sister is more suitable... Forget it, anyway, I will support Fourth Sister."

Xichun chuckled: "I really want to be a shrew."

On this day, Jia Mu's [-]th birthday, because most people in the court inferred that Jia Lian would be a high-ranking official sooner or later, there were more visitors than expected at first.All the important families in Beijing had their important female relatives, those who praised Jia's mother praised Wang Xifeng, and they flattered them so much that they laughed from ear to ear.

Suddenly someone came to report in a hurry, Concubine Hui personally sent an important father-in-law and an aunt who served her personally!Everyone was shocked and overjoyed, and Mother Jia hurriedly led the people to welcome them out.

I saw the two came in with smiles on their faces, and saluted Jia Mu very respectfully, saying, "Congratulations to the old birthday star~~" and sent Hui Concubine a pair of 24 jasper table screens in a red sandalwood frame of "Baizi Shoutao" .

Jia's mother was so flattered that she even said that she didn't dare to do it.

The aunt looked around, and immediately saw Lin Daiyu sitting in the middle of the visit, hurriedly walked over, smiling all over her face: "Isn't this Miss Lin?"

Daiyu quickly stood up and saluted, "Hello, Auntie."

The aunt came forward and together with the eunuch gave her a deep salute: "I met Miss Lin, hello Miss Lin."

Amazed.

Thinking of Lin Daiyu's father, who else can't figure out what Concubine Hui means?Mother Jia opened her mouth even more.She suddenly remembered Jia She's words that day, "Ru Hai is so important in front of a sage, it's no problem for Miss Lin to be a princess." The boss has a close relationship with Lin Hai, did he get some kind of letter early?Immediately rejoiced that he did not propose marriage to Lin Hai that day.Otherwise, if Baoyu robs the emperor's wife, I'm afraid he won't be able to resist her fingernails.

Daiyu was in a hurry to return the gift, saying that she couldn't afford it.

The aunt said with a smile: "The girl can't afford it, who else can afford it?" Then she stood in front of her table and complimented her for a long time, and she said some blunt and straightforward words. Flatter this Miss Lin.

Daiyu just shook her head, only the word "dare not".

At that time, the two of them went back to the palace, and Mother Jia had to send them out of the Neiyi Gate, but the two refused to let her see them off.The girl also quietly said to Jia Mu: "A few days ago, our lady invited Miss Lin to the palace. Oh, you are so gentle and generous! All the ladies are full of praise when they see you. Our lady knows that Miss Lin is the old lady. Raised, I praise the old lady for being able to educate people."

Jia's mother was overjoyed, her hands were trembling, and she hurriedly said: "This child is born with a very good temper, I really dare not take credit for it!"

The aunt smiled and went back to the palace together with the eunuch.

Mother Jia led the people back to the banquet, her body was straight and her head was raised even more, almost three points higher than before!There was a rush of flattery from everyone.

Immediately, someone came to Lin Daiyu and flattered her: "Miss Lin is so lucky! She is about to become a nobleman!"

Xichun had been waiting for someone to say this, and when she heard this, she said in amazement, "What nobleman?"

The man laughed and said, "Fourth Miss, how do you understand Concubine Hui's intentions? Your elder sister Lin is about to enter the palace."

Xichun hurriedly pulled Daiyu and said, "Sister, please don't go into the palace! It's not good at all to go in."

She spoke a little louder, Jiamu heard it, and shouted: "Presumptuous! Fourth girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Xichun pursed her lips and said loudly: "Why did you ever talk nonsense? Uncle Lin is the Minister, she can find any brother-in-law who can run amok at home; if she enters the palace, how can she have the final say! You have to listen to your brother-in-law in everything."

Wang Xifeng hurried over and said: "You are young and ignorant, women regard their husbands as heaven, but when they get married, no matter which family they marry, they need three obediences and four virtues..."

Xichun looked at Wang Xifeng, although she was speechless, there was a clear expression on her face: Second sister-in-law, are you coaxing the child?Wang Xifeng was amused for a moment.

Jia's mother scolded: "It's all because of your random reading and studying! I said earlier that the girl can read a few words, and it's all right if she doesn't open her eyes." She shouted, "I don't want to go down!"

Xichun hurriedly saluted, made a face, and ran away.

Lin Daiyu guessed that there must be a reason for this, but no one discussed it with her in advance, so she pulled Tanchun and gritted her teeth quietly: "You guys are so shameless, you haven't given me half a letter, just wait." He pursed his lips and smiled.

Everyone rushed to compliment Jiamu again, as if nothing had happened just now.It's just that there are too many people here today, what the fourth girl of the Jia family said spread like a wind across the capital, and some people secretly called her a "little shrew".This is for later.

After the banquet was over, Jia's mother was furious, and immediately ordered someone to go to Ningguo Mansion to call Jia Zhen to take Xichun back.It was just that the woman was stopped by Jia Amnesty's men as soon as she left the yard.

Jia She pretended to come over to persuade Mother Jia: "The fourth girl is still young and ignorant. After all, she was raised in our house, which caused a small mess of tongues. How can she just send her back like this? It's too inhumane." gone."

Jia Mu said angrily: "You just listen to what she said! If it reaches the ears of Concubine Hui and delays Yu'er's important event, what should I do!"

Jia Amnesty immediately smiled and said, "No, no, it's like the sea. What's the fourth girl? It's just a little girl."

Jia Mu said: "What about the third girl? The third girl is not young anymore."

Jia She then said: "Just now I discussed with Lian'er, Cong'er, the words of the fourth girl today are really inappropriate. But don't worry. The world forgets things too much. Anyway, Lian'er is about to take office, he It's far and remote there, so it must have been hard for the first time. Now we only say that the three girls and four girls will go with them to help Lian's daughter-in-law look after their nephews and nieces. After a few days, this matter has gradually become popular Forget it, spread some virtuous words to the two maids, and bring them back."

Jia Mu shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it's useless. The famous people in Beijing are here today. Who doesn't know? How can I coax people to go?"

Jia She said with a smile: "Who will coax them? It's just to give everyone a face to go down the steps. So what if the fourth girl is really a shrew? What is the meaning of the Duan inkstone that the sage gave Lian'er for daily use? The ancestors still don't understand? Baoyu Conger is all intelligent, and she is not afraid that she will not be able to stand in the court in the future; besides, there is Lin girl. You really like her virtuous and generous when you are Concubine Hui? I heard from Ruhai that Lin girl was the first time that day Entering the palace, she was so frightened that she had nowhere to place her hands and feet, how could she be generous? Because she has no brothers, cousins ​​are all useful!"

Mother Jia gasped!

"Don't worry, old ancestors, our girls are sure to be kept by good people in the capital, even the two of the Li family who are raised in our house are amazing. Old ancestors, please don't take two of them casually. Remember, don’t even let the big girl who is still in Shuiyue Nunnery go out casually. A daughter in a family is like a treasure!”

Jia Mu's eyes widened, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

Jia Amnesty snorted triumphantly: "In the past, they liked to ignore them, but tomorrow they will be overwhelmed!"
