Ruthless Lian Erye in the Red Chamber

"Old ancestor, old ancestor, Zhang's dowry can't be given to Jia Lian's unfilial son, it can't be given," Mrs. Wang knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably: "Then, that Zhang's dowry, in the palace, Yuanchun , How can my Yuanchun survive in the palace, my poor Yuanchun, she entered the palace for the sake of the entire Jia family, she is trying her best to win, if, if there is no more money, "Madam Wang Taking two steps on his knees, he grabbed the hem of Shi Taijun's clothes: "Old ancestor, you can't give it, you can't give it."

Shi Taijun looked at the daughter-in-law whom he quickly preferred with a troubled face, but he was also helpless: "Then what do you say now? A lot of people are waiting in the ancestral hall now, but Jia Lian said that if you don't give it, you won't do it as before. Yes, he immediately went to knock on Dengwengu, not only to sue us for privately using Zhang’s dowry, but also for Feng girl’s usury,” Shi Taijun slapped his thigh, He said angrily: "Young girl Feng is really, she is too courageous, she was caught by that bastard Lian'er, but now it's a good thing, Wang Ziteng is forced to kill that bastard, if Lian'er is not caught Get out, and the relationship between our Jia family and the Wang family will be broken."

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, her mouth was still slightly open, she looked a little ridiculous: "Usury? Brother, brother," she blinked, tears fell a lot, but her expression was not sad, it looked a bit funny: "My brother is also in the ancestral hall, he, he agreed?"

"From the second family," Shi Taijun took Mrs. Wang's hand, and said in a embarrassed and cautious way: "Now, we are riding a tiger. If we don't give up the money and Lianer doesn't go out, my entire Jia family will be implicated. For Rongguo Mansion For, for the sake of Baoyu, we have to give this money, you just, you just go and prepare it, you can take it from the public treasury or from my private treasury, it doesn't matter, if it really can't make up, just go Let’s give the discount first, today’s matter must be clarified.”

It turned out that Shi Taijun rushed back to Rongguo Mansion from the ancestral hall in a hurry, so he asked Mrs. Wang to come. Zhang's dowry has now passed for more than [-] years. Treating this thing as their own, it has been used a lot, and it has been given to Yuan Chun in the palace a lot, because only the two of them know about it, and the rest of them either don't know the details of Zhang's dowry. Or if they don't recognize me, they will be greedy for the money, so they can't grow instead.

Although Shi Taijun is the old lord of Jia's family and the wife of a super-class Duke, he naturally cherishes feathers even more. Since Jia Lian has already been removed for being unfilial, he can't give Jia Lian a chance to stand up in this matter. In addition, Jia Lian has already explained the matter so clearly, and Prince Teng is staring at him, if they shrink back at this time, they will really be out of character, and the Wang family, the most powerful family among the four major families , will also break with them, and maybe the remaining few families will take advantage of the trend to draw a clear line with their Jia family. This matter must never happen, so the money must be given.

Shi Taijun took two heart-protecting pills, finally relieved the constant dull pain in her chest, and then sat on the chair in Rongqing hall, thinking about this matter, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was being raped by Jia Lian. I was lied to, now that Jia Lian can't leave, their Rongguo Mansion's face will be lost, but now that Jia Lian doesn't leave, Prince Teng will hate him, but if Jia Lian wants to leave, he will get a few hundred thousand taels of silver, come to think of it, It's just not reconciled, sure enough, sure enough, he is a cold-hearted and unfilial son who doesn't keep any family affection.

After about an hour, Mrs. Wang came into the room sweating profusely: "Old Ancestor, everything is ready."

"Have you checked it out according to the list?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, and gritted her teeth unwillingly: "The total is 63 taels, including the unsold antique calligraphy and paintings, books and jewelry, land deeds, and the remaining Zhang's spouses who have not been sold. The houses are all here, and the missing items, premises and servants have all been paid for in silver according to the price on the list Jia Lian gave."

Shi Taijun staggered: "This, so many?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, and raised her hand to wipe her tears with a handkerchief: "My poor Yuanchun, my poor Baoyu."

"Enough, enough," Shi Taijun waved his hands impatiently: "Won't you let your brother get these back? Why are you crying here?"

Mrs. Wang raised her head when she heard the words, and looked at Shi Taijun in surprise. When she saw the obvious indifference on Shi Taijun's face, she frowned: "It's still the ancestor who loves Baoyu."

"Hurry up and send the things to that bastard. I will lie on the bed for a while. When I am old, I will be useless. If I am bullied by such unfilial children, I will fall ill," she said, turning her body aside. Yuanyang leaned on her body: "Remember to ask me a doctor when you go out."

"Yes, old ancestor." Mrs. Wang shook her handkerchief, turned around and went out, leading someone to send what Jia Lian wanted to the ancestral hall. Her expression didn't look angry at all, but there was a little bit of excitement. Well, maybe, in the near future, most of these things will be in her pocket, which is not necessarily the case.

Mrs. Wang arrived at the ancestral hall with her things. At this time, a whole room of people had been waiting in the ancestral hall for a long time. Mrs. Wang looked at the expressionless Jia Lian viciously, and shook her hands and said, "I have prepared everything. Your biological mother's dowry is all No less, those who accidentally reported the loss these years will also pay you with silver, so you should be clear about it, don’t let another moth come out and die in our Rongguo Mansion.”

Jia Lian took the bank note and bill from Mrs. Wang, turned her head to look at the things that were brought in and the rooms that were said to be Zhang's mates, and looked at the little girl who looked at her in panic. body.

Jia Lian nodded and took the little girl from the wife's hand: "Don't be afraid, Daddy is here."

The little girl bit her lip, nodded, buried her little head in Jia Lian's arms, and fell silent.Jia Lian reached out and patted the little girl's back.

Only then did Jia Lian look at one of the supporting rooms: "I'll trouble you."

"Okay, young master." A man in his 60s or [-]s immediately walked out of those rooms. He looked a little old-fashioned on his face, but his figure looked very energetic. He got Jia Lian's signal and immediately chose I bought two rooms and carefully counted the things brought by Mrs. Wang.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ziteng's eyes darkened: "Since everything has been clarified, then let's not get down to business," he said, warningly glanced at Jia Zhen with a cowardly face: "What do you mean?" Right, the head of the Jia family."

"Of course, of course," Jia Zhen nodded, cleared her throat and said in a loud voice: "Since the matter has been handed over clearly, then, Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion is disrespectful to the elders, disobedient and unfilial, and feels ashamed to become the Jia family. Here, let all the elders of the Jia family be a witness, and remove Jia Lian and his children. From then on, Jia Lian is no longer the Jia family. No matter whether he is prosperous or poor in the future, he has nothing to do with the Jia family After that, Jia Zhen looked at Jia She, and saw Jia She stood there with a complicated face but didn't make a sound, nodded, cleared up the family tree, and wrote Jia Lian's name with a pen, and also because Jia Lian divorced Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng's name was also crossed out, and Jia Cong's name was also recorded under Mrs. Xing's name. From then on, Jia Cong's only son was Jia Cong.

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, watching the servants who had finished counting nodded to him, and the whole thing was considered to be completed. He held the little girl in his arms, looked at the people around, and looked at them with expressions of resentment or gloating. After seeing it clearly: "Since it's over, then I'll go first."

Seeing that he raised such a big son, Jia She turned around and left without saying a word, feeling very uncomfortable in every possible way. He unconsciously took a step forward: "Lian'er, you still don't know what's wrong?"

Jia Lian turned around and glanced at Jia Amnesty: "You still don't understand what happened?" After speaking, he left without any regrets.

Wang Ziteng watched Jia Lian leave Jia's ancestral hall in a mighty way with those supporting rooms and the belongings that had been loaded into the carriage, and sneered: "I want to see, if you understand."

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

After the matter was over, no matter what everyone was thinking, the matter was settled. Originally, Jia Amnesty had mixed feelings, but after learning that Shi Taijun was so angry with Jia Lian that he hired an imperial physician, he became angry at Jia Lian's actions. Burned, and ran to Rongqing Hall cursing 'evil animal'.

As for Mrs. Wang, because of Shi Taijun's hint before, she followed the prince back to Wang's house, and as soon as she sat down on the chair, she spoke urgently.

"What's the rush?" Wang Ziteng sat on the chair and drank tea slowly: "Just wait for the person to come back and report."

"Brother," Mrs. Wang remembered what it looked like, but how could she wait now: "Just tell my sister."

Wang Ziteng smiled triumphantly: "Jia Lian is white now, and he hasn't come to the family's protection, what can he do with the few companions left by the Zhang family?" At this point, Wang Ziteng stopped talking, Looking at Mrs. Wang: "Just now Jia Lian could point out the companion so naturally, did they know each other before?"

"Well, I don't know about that." Mrs. Wang was also at a loss: "I have been able to release and sell Zhang's companions a long time ago, and the few left now are also in Rongfu. Here, it’s just cleaning the remote areas of Rongfu, because I haven’t done it for more than [-] years, and I have already forgotten about it.”

"Confused," Wang Ziteng put down the teacup with a bang: "Cut the weeds but not the roots. Looking at it now, Jia Lian can know about Zhang's affairs and investigate the matter so clearly that he can't be dragged along with these companions." relation."

When Madam Wang heard this, she suddenly realized: "I'm really confused, confused." As she spoke, she looked at Wang Ziteng flatteringly, thinking that Wang Ziteng should explain the matter to the bottom.

Wang Ziteng picked up the tea bowl again, and the old god was here: "What's the hurry, just wait for what you said, and you can make a person penniless and impoverished if you don't get rid of the roots. Be prepared to die."

There are only five or six companions left by Mrs. Zhang. Among them, Zhang Xi's family, that is, the man Jia Lian just pointed out, has his son Zhang Lai and daughter Zhang Yan, as well as a couple. Husband and wife, Li Ji and his wife, are smart people, that's why they escaped Mrs. Wang's cleansing of Zhang's accompanying room.

Among them, Zhang Xi can be regarded as a smart person. It was he who secretly investigated Wang Xifeng's usury and gave the evidence to Jia Lian. For the dowry list, you really have to admire the loving mother Zhang who died. Zhang was afraid that after her death, with Jia Amnesty's character, Jia Lian would be wronged, but she also knew that she was dying and could not take care of Jia Lian, so, He specially sent someone to keep a copy of his dowry with the official matchmaker, and copied a few copies of the dowry list, and kept them in the hands of different confidantes, just to leave a way out for his only son, and Zhang Xi's family, He happened to be one of those confidantes, so Jia Lian also had Zhang Xi's dowry list in his hand.

Jia Lian sighed, she really has a motherly heart, much better than his inconspicuous mother.

"Master," Zhang Xi was sitting outside in the carriage, "Where are we going now?"

This time Zhang’s dowry included a total of five carriages and several companions. Except for Zhang Yan, everyone drove a carriage. Keep it safe, now that they have left Jia's house, these people really don't know where they are going.

Jia Lian was holding the little girl in his arms, and the little girl had already fallen asleep in his arms: "Go to the outside of the city, which of my mother's villages has not been sold outside the city."

"There is a Zhuangzi in the northwest, on the outskirts of the city, not far from the royal paddock, because the paddock is the place where the royal family hunts, try not to have people around, the terrain is not good, there are many mountains and cliffs, just scattered here and there. Some villages were built and rewarded to some royal family members. It’s just a symbol, but it’s not worth much, and no one usually goes there. The master was given one because he was the prime minister. I really can’t buy it. No one dared to buy Zhuangzi at that place, so it must not have been sold." Zhang Xi sat outside the car and told Jia Lian everything he knew.

Jia Lian nodded, Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang were quite dark-hearted, he had also read the dowry list, and there were several good villas in it, which seemed to have been sold: "Then go there. "

"Yes, sir."

The carriage drove in a remote place for a long time, and gradually the road became desolate. Suddenly, the carriage stopped abruptly, and the sound of horses roaring outside the carriage was heard.

Jia Lian frowned, looked down at the little girl who was about to wake up, raised her hand to touch the back of the little girl's neck, and the little girl fell asleep with her head tilted again: "What's going on?"

"master."

Zhang Xi's voice sounded a little scary, which made Jia Lian's brows frowned even tighter. He gently put the little girl in the carriage, opened the curtain and peeked out.

I saw a dozen men in black masked blocking a remote path. Seeing Jia Lian's figure, the leader immediately shouted: "I planted this tree, and I drove this road. If you want to..."

Jia Lian said in a deep voice, "Did Wang Ziteng ask you to come?"

The man was speechless, with murderous eyes in his eyes: "Of course you know, just accept death obediently." After speaking, a group of men in black immediately raised their knives and rushed towards the carriage.
