[Comprehensive] Master of Merit

The effect of letting Jia Daishan come forward is obvious, but...it seems that the effect is a bit too shocking, which caused Jiamu and the others who were present at the time to be unable to recover.

Huo Mian returned to his yard and waited for a long time, but no one came to "harass" him again.He ate dinner as usual. After the meal, the maids cleared away the dishes, and the boy came to report: The master is here.

Sure enough, Jia Zhen was the one with the fastest thinking among the two houses.

As soon as Jia Zhen entered the door, she saw that Brother Rong's complexion was not very good, and before she even waited for Brother Rong to greet her, she came over and asked, "My pity, it's not easy..."

Huo Mian waved his hand, "If the master has anything to say, just ask."

Jia Zhen thought about it for less than an hour, and she dared to come here to ask for clarification, which is already a very courageous performance.

Having seen Brother Rong's true abilities, Jia Zhen couldn't bear the slightest bit of anger from his son's current attitude.Hearing this, he sat beside Brother Rong, "Can you invite your great-grandfather out?"

Huo Mian was also idle, so he gave Jia Zhen a "science popularization", "When ordinary people arrive in the underworld, they will soon be reincarnated. Only those who are virtuous and good and those who are treacherous and evil will live in the underworld for a long time. Only the former is an official in the underworld. , the latter will have to endure hardships to make amends.”

Jia Zhen tentatively asked, "Sure enough, your great-grandfather, great-uncle, and great-great-grandfather never reincarnated?"

"Grandfather Gao once asked Fairy to mention Uncle Treasure, but it was fruitless." Huo Mian smiled. "I am not the son and grandson that the elders chose early on. On the contrary, I took the initiative to find them. It is not wrong to ask the great-grandfather and the others to sacrifice their lives." It's cheap, it consumes my energy, it's not a small amount to say that it consumes our family's luck and merit."

No matter how ignorant Jia Zhen is about gods and ghosts, she also knows that it is not a good thing to consume luck and merit, "This..."

Huo Mian didn't wait for Jia Zhen to express his emotions, but continued, "Ninety-ninety percent of our family's luck and merits are accumulated by our great-grandfather and great-grandfather, and in my grandfather's generation, there is only subtraction, not addition. "

Jia Zhen's expression became more and more serious, "Brother Rong is as famous as he can say."

"It's not necessarily a good thing for an uncultivated master to know about luck and merit." Huo Mian paused, then said, "It will be very dangerous for the master to know that luck and merit are reduced to a level that does not match our title."

"Could it be that you can't get what you want?"

Huo Mian nodded and said: "That's exactly the reason. At that point, the family raid is imminent." After saying this, he drank tea in silence and stopped talking.

Jia Zhen also bowed her head and said nothing: To be honest, what he saw and heard today had a big impact on him.He has never been very respectful of gods, but the semi-illusory figure of his uncle and grandfather appeared in front of him. He didn't say he was at a loss, but his mind was absolutely blank at that time.Especially the secret thoughts of him and the two uncles when the uncle opened his mouth, they really couldn't believe it.

In fact, his uncle Jia Daishan is not optimistic about the current East Palace, and Jia Zhen also vaguely agrees in his heart—he wants to seek refuge in the East Palace, largely because the two uncles next door want to follow Wang Ziteng wholeheartedly.

Rather than saying that Jia She and Jia Zheng are optimistic about the East Palace, it is better to say that Wang Ziteng is optimistic about the East Palace, so this brother has to be optimistic about the East Palace.

At this moment, Brother Rong seemed to see through his thoughts, and suddenly said, "The two uncles next door don't even have the courage to say no to Prince Tengxu, where is the master?"

Jia Zhen smiled wryly, "What can I do?"

It was the first time Huo Mian saw Jia Zhen with such a bitter face.

Generally speaking, Jia Zhen is indeed the only Jia family man who has a bit of domineering spirit, and he also looks like the ruler of a large feudal family.Jia Zhen is probably the only one who can change his mind simply by using words.

Because Jia Zhen is also... not so willing to take refuge in the East Palace.Reluctantly, when Yuan Chun entered the palace, he was assisted by Wang Ziteng, and Yuan Chun relied on Wang Ziteng for a lot of things after he was concubine.However, if Ningrong and Rongfu wanted to win the favor of the Holy Master again, they had to be favored by Yuan Chun and speak well in front of the Holy Master.

Holding the teacup, Huo Mian fluttered and said, "Where is this going? Your Majesty is in his prime, and the East Palace doesn't even have a son-in-law. Our family has to rely on the prince to make a living, so we have to follow him to the East Palace? Master, don't you feel ashamed?" He sneered, "Master, you don't need to think about virtue. My daughter-in-law's cousin is still there. Why did my daughter-in-law die? There will be frequent lawsuits in the future. At this time, it's time to find a good master. There are so many masters in the world... You have to choose a character that makes the old people in the underworld feel uneasy."

If the original version of Jia Rong spoke like this, Jia Zhen would have to use family law to beat her son half to death.However, Jia Zhen really didn't dare to do anything about Brother Rong who was taken over by Huo Mian.

Besides, what Huo Mian said was the truth.Rao Jia Zhen usually has "rough skin and thick flesh", and now her face is hot.After a while, he said in a low voice, "I didn't expect her to be so violent, so I just went there."

Huo Mian laughed at Jia Zhen's shamelessness, "It's her fault anyway, isn't it?" After saying that, the teacup instantly turned into powder in his hands.

Jia Zhen's heart beat like a drum, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Rong, you know that's not what I meant." She stuttered a little.

Huo Mian raised his hand, and the porcelain powder fell to the ground, "Fortunately, the master is very knowledgeable about current affairs." Before Jia Qiang grows up, the Ning Mansion still needs Jia Zhen to take the lead.

Jia Zhen left Brother Rong's yard, only to realize that the cold sweat on her back had soaked her clothes, and he couldn't help shivering when the breeze blew.Counseling is cowardly, fear is fear, but with such a son, I don't worry that my family will not be able to regain the former glory, and even... go one step further!

Jia Zhen's mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny: Not to mention that she will be as simple as her grandfather in the emperor's heart, with great power in her hands, as long as she can be a great official in the frontier, so what if she pretends to be a grandson?It is better to bow your head to your son than to bow your head to Wang Ziteng!

Huo Mian didn't know that Jia Zhen was so... flexible.At this time, he was more concerned about the results of the spies between Jia's mother and her two sons - by the way, Jia Lian was also present, but at this time he could only be at ease as a background board, after all, Rongfu didn't have much room for him to develop.

Jia Daishan's words, Jia's mother and Jia's pardon and Jiazheng brothers have always been regarded as the norm, regardless of whether Jia Daishan is dead or alive.

As long as there is no trouble with her, Mother Jia doesn't even care about the affairs of the house, let alone foreign affairs... But her husband, who has been dead for many years, shows up to warn her, and she can't ignore what she says.

But she didn't go straight to the point, "I want to see your father in the future, I'm afraid I have to beg Brother Rong."

Brother Rong in the past was indeed easy to bully, but he showed such skill... Who would dare to underestimate him?

Brothers Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are not very smart, but that is compared to the nobles who are almost all human beings.Jia Amnesty glanced at his younger brother before saying, "Look, son, it will cost a lot to invite father back once."

Otherwise, Brother Rong would have used this trick long ago, right?

Jia Zheng also said: "I just looked at my father and didn't dare to miss it. After saying a few words, I hurried back to that door." He thought about his words, "I don't know what wasted, and I have to ask him later. Brother Rong."

Jia Mu nodded and asked again, "What are you going to do?"

The master is not optimistic about them taking refuge with the prince, but they have already handed in the certificates, and they will get on the boat and then come down... It's difficult.

Jia Zheng glanced at his brother and suggested, "Why don't you ask your mother for a word first?"

Huo Mian, who has been monitoring the family meeting in Rong Mansion, couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this: Jia Zheng would have to back down when making a decision... But it's okay, Yuan Chun sees farther than her uncle and father Also firmer.

It's a pity that Yuanchun died early, otherwise the Ningrong and Rongfu could have survived for a while longer.

Checking the time, there was still some time before her wife went back to the house to prepare for a rest... Idle was idle, so he turned his attention to Baoyu and Daiyu.

Baoyu was also hit hard today. When Xiren came back from home, he saw that Baoyu was preoccupied and didn't want to talk to her. She naturally winked... as quiet as a chicken.

This scheming girl was afraid that the matter between her and Baoyu would come to Mrs. Wang: she had seen Mrs. Wang's methods, and she knew that if the second master Bao refused to stand up and protect her, her best end would be... Rong Mansion can't wait.

It's also because Xiren's luck is good enough. Mrs. Wang is now introspecting in her room. Jia's mother and Jia She and Jia Zheng's mother and son are also tempted to cut off with Wang Ziteng, so she is destined to be honest for a while, so naturally she has no energy or time to take care of Xiren This girl with a big heart.

It is said that Xiren cannot be Xie Yuhua, and Baochai lives far away, so the one who comforts Baoyu... must be Daiyu.

Huo Mian was curious, and Krypton Gongde checked Bao Dai's mutual affection.Baoyu has [-] points for Daiyu, and Daiyu has [-] points for Baoyu—they have a high opinion of each other in the level that is enough to spend a lifetime in love with each other.

As for Baoyu's affection for Baochai, there are thirty points, which are similar to the favor for Xiren.According to Huo Mian's understanding, it's okay to have sex, and it's not a problem to get married.

By the way, Baochai only has twenty points of affection for Baoyu.Huo Mian couldn't help feeling: Baochai is really a sober girl.

At this moment, Daiyu was listening to Baoyu complaining in a low voice... Baoyu was honest, except for the fact that "my uncle doesn't look down on me", she didn't mention it, and the rest unexpectedly revealed everything.

Girls mature earlier than boys, besides, Daiyu was often reminded by her own father when she went home.At this moment, after hearing Baoyu's complaint, Daiyu couldn't help but murmur in her heart: she hasn't done anything worthy of respect, and her background alone can only coax the common people?

Daiyu didn't speak for a while, but Baoyu covered her face, "They want to be looked down upon, they just want to be in the literature or in the army..." What he hates most about his career is economics!But if he doesn't touch these things, he's afraid... he won't be able to marry Sister Daiyu.

Brother Rong's words today forced him to face up to this contradiction, and he was a little at a loss.

But Baoyu’s reaction, in Huo Mian’s eyes, felt that this beautiful young man was finally saved: If Baoyu was not entangled, even the girl he loved would still not be able to motivate him to make progress... The progress here does not require Baoyu to be in a high position or to be extraordinary in other fields The achievement is famous all over the world, but to become a responsible man, at least a qualified husband and a qualified father in the future.

Because that's what Huo Mian's mission required.I always feel that in the future, if I find an opportunity to drink a few more times, and let Baoyu fall a few more times to realize the reality, this task is almost done.

Turning off the auxiliary monitoring function, Huo Mian changed into clothes that are easy to move around, and took a look in the mirror... No matter how you look at it, you are a handsome young man.Jia Rong's appearance is somewhat similar to that of Huo Mian.

Huo Mian can comfort himself by saying that his wife can see himself through Jia Rong's appearance.

It is said that after doing such a long task, I have long recognized my soul but not my body, so why bother to make an appearance?Huo Mian laughed at himself, greeted the boy and girl on duty, and in front of the boy and the girl, the sleeves of his robe fluttered, and he floated up to the... room.

It wasn't until Huo Mian "floated" that his shadow disappeared, and the servants and maids woke up like a dream.

The servant was quite excited, "Our Uncle Rong has indeed become a fairy!"

The girl clasped her hands together and said, "Is it still possible to live in this mansion after becoming an immortal? It's almost the same as being a half-immortal."

As soon as Huo Mian left, the big girl who was proud of Jia Zhen found her: It turned out that the two masters of Rongfu came to visit together, and now they are waiting in the master's room.

It is said that the woman who does not serve the old lady all the year round may not wink, but the big girl who came back to talk is obviously not among them, not to mention that Jia Zhen will severely lecture her subordinates when she returns to her room, and she will treat me as she likes. Brother Rong.

The eldest girl Huo Mianxin promoted said neither humble nor overbearing: "Uncle Rong has just left the house, please ask my sister to call you back."

When Jia Zhen's eldest girl heard this, she quickly laughed and said, "Sister, why be polite." It is estimated that Uncle Rong was a little annoyed, and he was not sure if he didn't want to see the two Rongfu.

The girl went back to report, Jia Zhen waved the girl back, then turned to the two uncles and said, "Why don't the two uncles come back another day?"

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng looked at each other in dismay: Jia Zhen is their nephew, but facing the patriarch Jia Zhen, their brothers have no confidence to show off.

Seeing the reaction of the two uncles, Jia Zhen smiled instead, "Brother Rong talked to me for a while." After that, he told Brother Jia She and Jia Zheng about the merits of luck.

After hearing this, the brothers were half heartbroken: I'm afraid it won't be possible to expect their own father to come out and mention something from time to time.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, like Baoyu when they were young, were a little bit rebellious because they were "ignorant so they were fearless".However, in middle age, he had run into a wall many times in court—if he had nowhere to go, how could he have been coerced and lured by Wang Ziteng, and then boarded the boat of the East Palace?

Although their brothers deny it in words, they actually have a relatively realistic understanding of themselves in their hearts. In other words, the two of them have already accepted their fate.

Rather than letting Wang Ziteng lead the way reluctantly, of course he should listen to his own father.However, the cost of inviting a dear father is so high that the two brothers immediately hesitated.

Jia Zhen glanced at the two uncles and knew what they were thinking about.

It doesn't matter whether it's serious or not, he also got worried, sighed and said, "Please invite uncle to come back every now and then, our family's luck and merits can't last. I heard Brother Rong's meaning, originally It's not always possible to invite people, this time it's purely coincidental. Let's put aside when my uncle will show up again, now it's time to think about how to follow my uncle's wishes... stay away from the East Palace."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were also shocked by the fact that "the deceased father returns to the world again".

Speaking of disembarking from the East Palace, Jia She stopped talking - he was not the mastermind in this matter.Jia Zheng thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ask your brother-in-law what he means?"

But Huo Mian, who was a few hundred meters away, was squatting on the roof opposite his wife, and when he was thinking about how to show up, he brushed Jia Zhen's movements—he was really worried that Jia Zhen would be depressed and sleep again. Little girl, I just heard Jia Zheng's words...

Huo Mian couldn't help feeling sorry for Jia Zhen: It's no wonder Jia Zhen looked down on the brothers from Rongfu.One seems to be able to do anything, and he still has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, and the other is that whenever he needs to make up his mind, he will let others make up his mind...

If it is true that he has not taken responsibility in all aspects, is it just Jia Zheng who still has the confidence to beat Baoyu?Baoyu didn't take the responsibility either, but at any rate he never shifted the responsibility to others.

In such a comparison, Jia Jing and Jia Zhen father and son of Ningfu can be called "sensible people".

Silently pushing the invisible glasses plug, Huo Mian jumped off the roof and tapped lightly on the window frame.

Li Tong in the room not only heard the movement, but also saw a figure from the window.

Li Tong didn't feel much better yet, but her girl was frightened. Just as she was about to call for someone, her girl stopped her with her hand.Li Tong asked the girl to go out to have a look, and on the opposite roof, he saw the young man who had met once during the day.

Li Tong raised his face and smiled, "I always thought we would meet again, so it should be here." She looked carefully, and then said, "You are very good at kung fu."

Li Tong's two words were enough to startle the maids and women in the yard, but when they heard the sound, they went out to have a look, and saw that their girl was far away from the uninvited guest... Seeing that her girl was not only very calm but also very happy, so For the time being, it's all "wait and see".

Huo Mian was very relieved, no matter whether it was the reincarnation or the previous life, his wife's temperament was the same.

He also smiled, "I'm not showing off my skills, but I'm worried about making a noise. I can escape faster like this."

Li Tong pursed his lips and asked again, "Listen to my brother, the national teacher is very optimistic about you, are you going to be the next national teacher?"

Huo Mian said: "I want to be a national teacher? Why don't I know."

Li Tong walked a few steps towards Huo Mian, and the mother-in-law and the girl wanted to stop him when they saw this - but what they said involved the national teacher, and they really didn't have the courage to stop him.

Li Tong laughed even more happily, "They are all afraid of you."

Huo Mian replied: "It should be." He waved his hand, "I'll come to you later." His wife didn't reject him at all, so he was quite satisfied.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Huo Mian's figure disappeared in a flash.The girls and women in the yard were really dumbfounded this time.Li Tong waited for a while before saying: "You can come and go freely, even if you want to stop it."

The nuns were afraid of taking responsibility, so they came to their senses and persuaded, "Young lady should talk to the old lady and the old lady."

Li Tong's big girl feels... the girl is... tempted, right?This one is so different!

Li Tong nodded, "It's time to tell them." After speaking, she walked back to the room slowly.She was leaning on the couch, covering her chest with her hands: her heart was beating a little fast... Why is this person getting more and more familiar?

In Li Tong's house, there was no shortage of her parents' ears to tell the gods, and after a while, "Mr. Ningfu's visit at night" reached the ears of Li Tong's parents.

Li Tong's mother's first thought was: Toad □□ wants to eat swan meat!How unreasonable!

But Li Tong's father knew much more than his daughter-in-law. Seeing his daughter-in-law's face was angry, he told about the behavior of Uncle Ningfu in recent days.

Li Tong's mother was speechless for a long time, and after a while, she took her master's hand and begged, "I'm afraid it's not difficult for the national teacher to ask the Holy One for a marriage, our Tong'er..."

What kind of dirty place is that in Ningguo Mansion?Besides, the daughter still has to fill the house, Li Tong's father would be damned if he was willing!It's just that this man has been an official for many years, so he is naturally calm, and he always feels that the uncle of the Ning family and his daughter only met twice today, and their reactions are...very strange.

Who knows whose daughter is it!Tong'er looked friendly, but in fact he was the most cold-hearted. He had never seen his daughter look at any boy differently. Why did his attitude...be unusual?Besides, the one from the Ning Mansion is used to seeing beauties on weekdays, so why did he fall in love with Tong Er at first sight, so he had to meet again at night?

The national teacher is optimistic... The more Li Tong's father thought about it, the more he felt that the Ning family must have seen something unusual, anyway, it was something that ordinary people could not see.

After thinking about it, he still felt that it was not good to act rashly, and he had to ask his son to find out what happened.

When Li Tong's father called his son to him, Huo Mian had already returned to the Ning Mansion, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng hadn't returned yet.

After seeing his wife, Huo Mian was in a better mood. When he came to Jia Zhen's study, he casually cupped his hands and sat down beside Jia Zhen.

It didn't matter to Jia amnesty, but Jia Zheng was not at ease: after all, the second master is a "specialist".It's just that Brother Rong showed his magic, even though Jia Zheng wanted to teach him a lesson, he didn't open his mouth.

However, Huo Mian didn't want to spare him, "The two uncles are here to ask about the great-uncle's appearance? I mean, please don't invite him if you can, otherwise the price will become higher and higher. Within two or three times, our family will I can’t afford it anymore. The two uncles sent several letters to the old department of the great-uncle and grandfather, overtly and secretly persuading them to favor the East Palace...Many of these great-uncle’s old departments are still in power, and how many of them are already the Holy One My confidant, do the two elders have any worries in their hearts?" He smiled, "Let me tell you the truth, if it weren't for the protection of the empress in the palace, the letters from the uncles and uncles may not have any effect..." He stopped here said.

Brother Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng turned pale.

Huo Mian looked at Jia Zhen, the helmsman of the Ning Mansion was quite calm, but his face was also ugly...Although Jia Zhen submitted a certificate of nomination to the East Palace, this surrender was not very sincere, compared to Jia She, especially Jia She The government spared no effort to deliver letters repeatedly, which made it even more indifferent.

It is estimated that Jia Zhen is yelling repeatedly in her heart at this time: Teammate pig!Pig teammates!Pig teammates!

Huo Mian thought for a while and then threw a reassurance, "But there is no need to worry too much, the actions of the two uncles will only make the Holy Majesty write a mark on Dong Gong and Wang Ziteng."

The two brothers in Rongguo Mansion, the Holy One didn't take it seriously at all, otherwise how could it be so easy for Yuanchun to concubine?Because the Holy Majesty was sure that even if Yuan Chun gave birth to a son, the Rongguo Mansion would not be able to become the kind of relative he cared about all the time.

Huo Mianzhen felt lucky for Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng brothers: To be honest, as a rookie, as long as you don't die, you will always be safe.

Jia Zhen fully understood Huo Mian's implication, and he smiled wryly again.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were annoyed when they struggled.It's not that they think highly of themselves, but they can't stand Brother Rong's way of pointing out the country, although they both feel that Brother Rong is right.

But Jia Amnesty never likes to stand out, otherwise how could he "settled in the inner house" after losing his official position?Jia Zheng always has official authority, so he couldn't help but take out the attitude of admonishing Baoyu to "remind" Brother Rong, "Although you have learned the skills, you must also know the dignity!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone present knew that Jia Zheng was really angry this time, because the second master of the Rong Mansion was not usually so untactful, so he had nowhere to spread his anger and could only target Brother Rong.

Huo Mian actually didn't understand: I'm like a soft persimmon?He waved his hand, "If I didn't care about dignity, I wouldn't be so patient with my uncle. If my wife and children commit crimes, my uncle will also get involved. Besides, my uncle is really a breeze in the Ministry of Industry?"

Jia Zheng choked and stopped talking.

Jia Zheng's salary alone is not enough to support his disciples.Having been an official in the Ministry of Industry for many years, the accounts will always be settled, where does the money come from in the family, especially after the death of his father, the filial piety has almost decreased by [-]%, Jia Zheng is just pretending to be confused.

In this regard, he is not as frank as Jia She: the elder of the Rong Mansion knows that the money he spends is not particularly clean, so he will acquiesce in following Wang Ziteng to the East Palace, and he also wants to find a good one for the money~ Protect ~ protect ~ umbrella.

Huo Mian laughed again, "There are not many noble families in the capital that are clean, but our family has no high-ranking officials, so we have to choose the right backer. Great-uncle and grandfather said clearly that they chose the wrong backer, and they didn't want to turn the boat around quickly. He was in a hurry to attack me," he cupped his hands, "I have been taught." Then he got up, and disappeared in a flash.

The room was silent, and after a while Jia She asked, "Brother Rong, what kind of true teaching did you get?" The national teacher is nothing more than that?

Jia Zhen was silent for a long time and finally told the truth, "If it wasn't for the family, Brother Rong would have left long ago."

Jia Zheng only lowered his head, but careful people could notice that the second master's hands were trembling slightly.

When Huo Mian returned to his room, he saw a letter on the table. He picked it up and looked at it, and was happy: "Look, I knew that Qin Keqing and her cousin had come to visit."

In the spring, Qin Keqing's cousin, Qin Feng, is going to return to Beijing from the northwest to report on his work, and also... Sister Lin and her father.

The author has something to say: Rongfu gave me the feeling in the original book that it was very weak, the kind that had absolutely no right to speak in the court, the reaction of the Jia family to the eunuchs in the palace, and Jia Zheng's response to the history of Zhongshun Wangfu. proof.

I think the liquidation of Rong Mansion was mainly caused by Wang Ziteng and Ning Mansion, because Jia She and Jia Zheng feel that they can't make too much trouble if they want to make trouble, but the two brothers of Rong Mansion are not innocent.
