The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

"Sister, Pan'er, he offended the King of Li and the King of Cheng..." Wang Zijiong really felt that he couldn't lift his head to see his sister. The sister's family was so happy that she wanted to marry the daughter of their Wang family, and at the same time, she was preparing to marry her daughter. Marrying to the dowry of King Yijun, she didn't say it was just icing on the cake, this was just a marriage, her bastard son, as someone else's cousin, offended the future husband's brother, what is going on!If there is no such relationship, it will be even worse... Thinking of this, she felt a fever on her face, this child, Pan'er, is really, really worrying!

But who made him his own child?

Wang Guizhi frowned, three of her four servant girls were married off now, leaving only one Caiying, who is best at helping her with makeup, and now she even knows how to trim her eyebrows.

She wondered who Wang Chengjun of Lijun was, and how could he suddenly deal with Xue Pan?It's not that she looks like Xue Pan, but in the capital here where there are so many officials and relatives like dogs, a second-generation ancestor like Xue Pan, let alone the top [-], may be able to be assigned to the top [-]. For the sake of her daughter marrying Prince Yi.

How could such a guy who is not outstanding in the eyes of others offend these two county kings?

"Don't panic, don't cry, and explain the matter clearly."

Wang Zijiong raised his eyebrows slightly when his sister heard this, let go of the anxiety in his heart, and began to talk about Xue Pan's "happy" life all the way.

——"Pan'er went to Beijing. At the beginning, the master's illness was unknown, and he was worried day and night just like us. After the master woke up, although he couldn't move freely as before, he gradually understood the family affairs. It has been handled properly, but we still need to take care of it carefully, everyone feels a lot more relaxed, and Pan'er can go out to play often."

"Yeah." Wang Guizhi felt normal when he heard this. After all, Xue Pan was only in his teens, and his father's illness finally got better. He thought he wanted to be the pillar, but he didn't have to. He is also lively and active by nature. How could it be possible to stay in the palace quietly again.

"Because he is accompanied by someone every time he goes out, and at the same time, every few days he will go to study with the teacher invited by his brother on time, and when his brother comes back, Pan'er can always listen to his instructions at home, even Morning greetings are always well-behaved, I thought that after this big change in the family, Pan'er has learned it well." Wang Zijiong smiled wryly, who would have thought that it was not what she thought at all, the security she thought , it was just used by Pan'er to fool her, "It turns out that once he left the house, he was like a horse without a rope, wandering around, afraid that others would bump into him, like Zhenwei Restaurant, Zafangji, etc. If there are Wanwu Chamber of Commerce, Wantong Logistics and other places, I will not go there. I will only look for places that my relatives and friends don’t know about. It’s also because I have no way to discipline. All the boys around him only know how to listen to him and follow him around. No one is willing to tell me that Pan'er only knows how to hunt chickens and tease dogs outside, and compete for fun!"

Wang Guizhi sighed softly, "He just went, and the casino saw that he was a newcomer, which would increase his winning rate. Anyway, at the beginning, no one dared to make a big bet. It doesn't matter even if he wins. If you know his details, if you know he is rich, you won't immediately catch him, but you will first send someone from them to have a relationship with Pan'er."

"Become Pan'er's friend first. After having this friend, Pan'er may have good luck in the early stage. Even the people who followed him won a lot of money. Am I right?" Jia Zhu also met him in Shanxi at the beginning, but when the head of the gambling shop knew that he was the chief secretary's son, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and he didn't dare to continue the trick. The guy Zhu called "friend" was tied up and sent to her before three kneels and nine kowtows to plead guilty.

She stopped Jia Zhu's monthly expenses for half a year and asked him to follow a friend to see him.Things will be easier in the future. The casino will be open if you are attracted by wine and meat friends. After finding out all the details of your wealth, the casino will adjust your winning rate according to the situation. Anyway, they will only lure you to send money in. But if you gamble more and more fiercely, and if you gamble more fiercely, they will only be happy to see it. As for whether you become a loser in the end, or how the family members live, they don't care.

Wang Zijiong said in embarrassment, "What my sister said is very true."

"I also know that even though Pan'er gambles, for him, the money he wins or loses is not as good as getting a response from his friends in the casino or having a wonderful cockfight and dog fight. Besides, the money he loses is not as important to your Xue family. It’s not a big deal, otherwise it’s impossible to hide it from you.” Wang Guizhi said bluntly, “Sister, just tell me how Pan’er offended the Master.”

"Yes, it's all because I indulged Pan'er too much." Wang Zijiong had to admit, "It's hard to find fighting cocks and dogs, and the goal is too big, so Pan'er found fighting crickets. Hanging it on your body, you can have fun anytime.” Thinking of the time when he said he would think about it, and she still smiled and agreed to ask the accountant to pay the money, she couldn’t help but close her eyes in pain, wishing she could go back to that time and slap herself twice, When Jia's family was expelled from school in Jinling, she said she would discipline Pan'er ruthlessly, but in the end...

"He got two good crickets, and he was content for a while, but one day he was betting with others. The cricket of that man was bitten off by Pan'er's green-headed general, and he was so anxious. , caught Pan'er and asked him to pay for the crickets. Seeing that he was anxious to follow the house, Pan'er won by himself and only said that he didn't want his silver. The cricket in Pan'er's hand." Wang Zijiong sighed, "Sister, you may know a little bit about Pan'er's temperament, how he is willing to pay, and even asks that person to hand over the money he lost. The table jumps and jumps, and you can have as much money as you want, and you must let Pan'er pay him, so you have to give him the cricket. The two were arguing, and at that time, someone came out to make peace, and that person grabbed the person and said, Just right, Yucun, you are here. Quickly ask your relatives to hand over the crickets."

……

No, this Yucun, could it be Jia Yucun?

Wang Guizhi was about to ask more questions when he heard someone report in panic, "Madam, Madam, please go to Rongxi Hall immediately."

"But what's the matter?" Wang Guizhi was a little surprised. What's the matter with asking her to go at this time?

The man was also in a hurry, so he came in and knelt down and said, "Ma'am, Uncle Zhen came over just now and said that something happened in Guangxi, and it seems that it happened in Yunnan too... Not only was the master rushed into the palace, but also the elder just now. Called in by the eunuch, Master Jing from the East Mansion also..."

"what?"

This was much worse than Xue Pan's troubles, Wang Guizhi didn't care about Aunt Xue anymore, he stood up and said, "Get your horse ready, I'll be there right away."

"Yes."

Wang Guizhi got off his horse and trotted into the Rongqing Hall. He saw Jia Mu already leaning on the pillar at the door and looking at her. Seeing her coming, she was already in tears, "Did you hear what the master said?"

"Don't worry, old lady, what's going on?"

Mrs. Li's eyes were also red, "We don't know either. In the morning, the Eldest Master went to meet Mamao, and waited for the second younger brother who had gone to court to come back all the way to greet the old lady, and then the two of them talked for a while in the study. So, follow me and send someone to him to come back and let him look at Brother Lian's marriage. At that time, the Eldest Master told me that he wanted to have dinner with the second brother and let me set the table. Unexpectedly, after a while, Menzi Just came to report, the Holy Majesty called the second younger brother to enter the palace, but the people who followed the second younger brother have not come back yet, someone came and called the old master away."

"My father was also called around that time," Jia Zhen added.

Mother Jia was already flustered, and she looked at Wang Guizhi eagerly, hoping that she would tell her something that would make her feel at ease.

This information is too small, it happened so suddenly, Wang Guizhi stood up and thought carefully, it should not be what happened in the capital today, if someone participated in the impeachment, with her brother around, it shouldn't be able to cause anything Big wind and waves, what worries her more is...

"What happened in Guangxi? Do you know?" She looked at Jia Zhen and asked.

Jia Zhen immediately said, "Guangxi has always been the place where we let the Miao mountain people there raise snakes. They are good at making snake medicine, and most of what we want are not poisonous snakes. The supply has not been available all the time." It’s just that Chen Xingfeng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who just replaced him, wanted to carry out the administration of reforming the land and returning to the local people. One of the three Miao villages that happened to take over our business passed away. According to their customs, it should have been It was his only daughter, Miao Afeng, who would continue to be the head of the village, but the local county magistrate proposed that their county government should arrange who would be the owner of the village, on the grounds that a daughter would not be able to take over the job, and that the head of the village would be set up by the imperial court. People come to be the master of the village."

"Wouldn't it be good to send an official to die? The Miao people won't listen." Wang Guizhi knew that the folk customs of some ethnic minorities are very tough.

"Of course not. The county magistrate appointed Jia Yu, the steward we have been communicating with the villagers, to be the leader of the village." Jia Zhen smiled wryly.

……

Wang Guizhi looked at Jia Zhen, "When I think that I can become the master of a village, does Jia Yu's heart move?"

"...Yes, Auntie, what you said is absolutely right." Jia Zhen lowered her head and said, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. They don't know anything about the situation in Guangxi, and Jia Yu is still following the same pattern." Sending snakes to the caravan on a regular basis, writing letters to Jia's family, and paying money quarterly at the same time, he always thought that there was nothing wrong there.

This kind of thing, when the traffic is inconvenient, can't be entirely blamed on Jia's family, Wang Guizhi blinked, "Then what happened?"

"Jia Yu has a bit of a brain, knowing that the county magistrate wanted to use his strength to fight, but after he took over the order, he simply married that Miao Afeng, and now no one in the original village made trouble, anyway. The old village master has ascended to heaven. Since he married Miao Afeng, the position of village master is still in their own hands. Waiting for Miao Afeng to give birth to a child, and let him be named Miao, Jia Yu will have a greater say A lot, plus he has been in touch with the caravan, helping the village to buy salt and order, the whole Miaojiazhai has been prosperous, and gradually every household in the village has a new Diaojialou."

Mrs. Li heard this but said, "Isn't this very good? It sounds like this village owner is not bad."

"It's a good thing we are from the Jia family." Mother Jia also thought it was good.

Jia Zhen looked at Wang Guizhi, and sure enough, when she saw her aunt narrowed her eyes, she knew that it was the second aunt who understood.

Yes, this is a good thing for the Miao family village, but it is definitely not a good thing for other villages!
