Winning every step of the Red Mansion

237

Jia She was flipping through the mansion newspaper in the study, when suddenly the butler hurried to find him with a greeting card in his hand, seeing Jia She hurriedly told Jia She that someone threatened to set fire to the Lanshu Pavilion, and said that it was The person who sent the letter was sent by Lai Shangrong in the past.Jia Amnesty pondered for a moment, then hurriedly ordered people to go to the Book Pavilion first, let him rest for a day, cleared out all the people in the library, and then carefully checked to see if there was anything that could cause a fire in the library, and everything was taken care of properly.Jia Amnesty picked up the greeting card and looked at it carefully for a long time, then ordered people to prepare horses and go to Wangjiang Tower.

Wangjiang Tower was originally owned by Jia's mother, but Jia's mother couldn't come here often, but Jia She and Jia Zheng would come here occasionally to entertain colleagues and old friends.Seeing Jia She's relatives coming today, the shopkeeper thought that he was going to have a banquet again, so he hurriedly went up to greet him, and hurriedly ordered someone to pack up the special box of Jia's mansion, and wanted to lead Jia She to go inside.Who would have thought that Jia She asked, "Where is the boy surnamed Lai waiting for me?" The shopkeeper was taken aback by this question, and he blinked at Jia She and said, "Master, who are you talking about?" She was taken aback when he heard this, and said: "Then Lai Shangrong didn't come?" The shopkeeper was even more confused this time, and hurriedly asked: "Master, could it be that the guest you invited hasn't arrived yet, so I'll prepare a car and send someone to bring it to you." Please come." Jia Amnesty darkened his face when he heard this, walked into the private room in a muffled voice, and sat down by the window.Seeing that Jia She's face turned dark, the supervisor was worried that Jia She would be displeased by saying something wrong, so he also kept his mouth shut, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring tea to Jia She first.He stood by himself, not daring to speak, and waited for Jia Amnesty to order.

Jia Amnesty was sitting in his seat drinking tea.At the beginning, Peng Luo left all his belongings to his son Jia Hu to build this Lanshu Pavilion. Once the pavilion was completed, many students praised Peng Luo's generosity and Jia Hu's generosity. The reputation of Jia's mansion is now well-known among Qingliu scholars.In the past, those celebrities who were no more than nodding acquaintances with Jia She, now often post posts asking Jia She to come to the house to talk about it, and Jia She is also proud of being able to make friends with these people.If there is a mistake in the many books in the Lanshu Pavilion, not to mention that Jia Hu will have no face to see his mentor in the future, even Peng Luo, who is thousands of miles away, will be in a hurry when he gets the letter, and he might have to ride immediately. He came to the capital with his horse to find himself to settle accounts.What's more, he patted Peng Luo's chest as a promise back then.If he wants to build the world's number one book collection pavilion and properly arrange Peng Luo's treasures, how can he break his promise to others.

Jia Amnesty was angry at this time, firstly because he would not be afraid if the boy from the Lai family came to seek revenge, but he absolutely shouldn't have taken this idea of ​​Lanshuge.Secondly, he was also angry with himself. This time, because he cared too much about Lan Shuge, he was led by the nose by others, which made him a little confused.

Jia She drank a cup of tea, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Go and tell the waiter, if someone comes here to look for me today, first ask their first and last name, and if the surname is Lai, please come and see me. I would rather Let's see what that kid can do." Hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly responded, and then asked someone to spread some of Jia She's favorite dishes in the past, and brought in a pot of good wine for Jia She.Jia Amnesty waved his hand to make everyone back down, and he began to think for himself.

Let's say that Qiu Li has already reached the Wangjiang Tower at this time.It was not a place where people like me could eat and drink. Looking up, I happened to see Jia She, who was standing by the window on the third floor. He was drinking by the window with a glass in his hand. Is looking for someone.Qiu Li straightened her student robe and walked in.As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Er greeted him with a smile and said, "Guest officer, who are you? Do you have a reservation?" Qiu Li said, "I'm looking for someone." Wei Wei changed his question: "Guest officer, what is your surname? Who are you looking for?" Qiu Li walked up to the third floor and said, "I said looking for someone is looking for someone. Just now I saw him sitting upstairs at the street corner .I'll go by myself, you don't have to follow." After speaking, he walked faster and faster.Although Xiaoer knew what Jia She said, but he didn't disclose his name, he couldn't confirm whether it was true or not, and he didn't dare to block it rashly, but there are few people upstairs now, and the only one sitting at the table by the window is the master.Maybe this person came to find his elder master.Xiao Er trotted all the way and asked: "Is the guest surname Lai? Guest officer, is your surname Lai? If you answer me!" Qiu Li stopped at these words, glanced at Xiao Er, and nodded. He lowered his head and said, "That's right." Xiao Er said with a sigh of relief, "You said earlier that your surname is Lai, and my master is waiting for you in the inner room." After that, he hurriedly walked to the front and led him to Jia In the private room where Amnesty is located.

Because Jia Amnesty came, the shopkeeper retreated out the door, but he didn't dare to go far. At this time, he saw Xiaoer attracting someone, and nodded vigorously at him, so he knew that the person waiting for the master had arrived.He was busy going into the house to report, but this Qiu Li didn't care about him, he walked up a few steps, kicked open the closed door, pushed the shopkeeper aside, and walked in.The shopkeeper was taken aback, looked at Jia She with trepidation and said, "Master, this guest officer is looking for you."

Jia Amnesty put down the wine cup in his hand and nodded, and ordered the shopkeeper to prepare another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then picked out some dishes.The shopkeeper hurriedly responded and retreated to prepare food. After a while, the dishes were ready. Jia Amnesty sent everyone out of the house, so that they didn't have to enter the house without summons.

At this moment, Qiu Li stared at Jia She, still wishing to have his skin cramped.Jia Amnesty looked indifferent at this time, slowly took a mouthful of food, drank the wine in the glass and said, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and my education and cultivation are even worse. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

Jia Amnesty's words stopped Qiu Li immediately.There are tens of thousands of words stuck in his chest, but at this moment, he can't say a single word.Jia She looked at him pouring a glass like this and said: "Since you don't tell me, then I will ask you! Where did you steal the scholar's robe from my family's family to deceive you around. I thought you were just a poor tutor. Anyway, now that you're more capable, you're still doing such a bluffing and deceiving thing?" Jia She's words stabbed at Qiu Li's chest, and this scholar's robe was Qiu Li's most cherished garment.Even the cleaning was done carefully, but the one who passed the exam with his own ability was said so, which made Qiu Li even more angry.Qiu Li's eyes turned red immediately and said: "This is what I got into the exam openly. Where have I ever done bluffing and deceiving while wearing a scholar's robe?"

"No?" Jia Amnesty put his chopsticks on the table and said, "There are 800 students in my family in Jia's family. After looking through the roster, can you find someone named Lai Shangrong? What about people who don't even have a school record?" It can be said that you can enter the family school of my family? I said you are wrong? You also said that you were admitted, how can I believe it? "

"Now I've changed my name and surname. The natural science record is my new name, but the family study was indeed admitted by me." Qiu Li argued strongly.

Hearing this, Jia She nodded and said: "That makes sense, so you're not bluffing this time, you're just pretending to be an imposter, but it's not much different anyway." Jia She then picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of food He said again: "Whose thigh are you hugging now? How dare you come to Lan Shuge to set fire? If you want me to say that your family is ungrateful to be a slave. Even if you are an impostor and got close to the family school, even if you hold grudges with me , but what enmity does Lanshuge have with you? A great scholar like Peng Luo, a good teacher who is hard to find, no matter how many people want to worship him, I invited him to teach you and other lessons in the family school. He donated his life's hard work to get this Lanshu Pavilion. There are all kinds of preferential treatment for your family's students, so it's fine if you don't cherish it. How can you make up your mind to destroy it? It's really a shame! You still read it in vain Books, read the characters. Those sage books have been read into the dog's belly? In the past, your father managed Jia's family to exploit ink, but today you sneak into the family school and still don't feel grateful. How can there be people like you in the world!"

Jia She's words angered Qiu Li even more, he stared and said, "You are not afraid of angering me, I really have a way to burn the Lanshu Pavilion to the ground?" Jia She stopped laughing and said, "If you can do this , just based on your hatred for me, I’m afraid you did it long ago. It’s just empty talk. It’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but revenge for a villain is just doing some mediocre things, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

After hearing this, Qiu Li didn't say a word, took out the bag of phosphorous powder in his arms and threw it on the table, and then took out the stick of incense hidden in the shoe and patted it on the table: "This Phosphorus powder ignites when it sees fire. I just need to sprinkle this bag of phosphorus powder on the book. In this dry season, I can burn it with a little incense. Besides, your book is for people to borrow. Sprinkle phosphorous powder on the book. After you read it, I will borrow it, and then go to pick up the next book. It will be stained with phosphorous powder in two days. Wouldn’t it be spectacular if it were ignited? But a single book is easy to use after a long time , if you save it with water, even those that were not burned by the fire will be almost destroyed by the water." Qiu Li sat down slowly at this time, looked at Jia She and said every word: "I am a little girl. Man, I'll do a shitty thing."

Jia Amnesty's original intention was to provoke him to reveal the method of arson. After all, he might be able to guess correctly, but if the other party said it, he would be more prepared.Fortunately, this plan has not been implemented this time. If it is implemented, even if the save is effective, it will still cause a lot of losses.If it really becomes a big fire, then the tens of thousands of books on the whole floor will probably be ruined.At this moment, Jia Amnesty was really sweating from shock.Looking at Lai Shangrong who was sitting opposite him, he had a different opinion.Since Lai Shangrong was able to tell him about this, it meant that he gave up this practice.And the reason for giving up was not because it was inoperable, maybe because I had a better idea, and I came to demonstrate on this matter specifically?Or maybe he has a sliver of conscience, the conscience of being a scholar is still there, so he didn't do this matter?Jia Amnesty wondered to himself.

Seeing Jia She's sad face, Qiu Li felt a sense of vengeance in her heart.At this time, Qiu Li has realized how loyal and obedient the prince is to punishing people. It is too cheap to kill them, and people are afraid every day when they open their eyes, and worry all the time.It's a pity that I'm too humble, and I can't kill Jia Amnesty by myself, but it would be good if I can have a worry in my heart so that he can't rest day and night.

Jia She, who was on the opposite side, said slowly: "You have considered yourself a villain and confessed to this matter. Eat this good meal slowly. I am afraid that you will not have such a meal in prison."
