Ruthless Lian Erye in the Red Chamber

Jia Lian has always had an official position as a five-rank acquaintance, which was specially donated for the sake of looking good when he married Wang Xifeng. Speaking of which, Jia Lian has never been on official business.

When he came out this time, Jia Lian didn't know whether he wanted to buy a sword that was still in his hands, and also wanted to resign from his official position.For a martial artist, there is no need for so many cumbersome deepening, which delays his swordsmanship for nothing.

If the minister resigned, if he was in an important position, he would naturally have to write a good note and ask the emperor to resign, but for a small official like Jia Lian who was just donated, he only had to go to the Ministry of Officials to explain it. The background of Rongguo Mansion is relatively hard, so it is naturally easier.

Jia Lian just knew that it would not be difficult for him to resign, so he directly dealt with the matter together today.

He didn't bring any servants with him, he was alone in plain clothes, and the jade crown and jade belt went straight to the household department.

When he arrived at the entrance of the official department, he explained his purpose to the guard guarding the gate, and was invited to wait in the lobby of the official department, saying that someone would come to help him in a while.

But this time, I waited for nearly an hour.Jia Lian was not in a hurry, because a swordsman had to be as calm as water, so that he could keep his hand steady and not shake the sword when he drew the sword. However, the main purpose of his coming out today was to sell the sword, and at this time it was only for this mere reason. The resignation delayed the time and made him unhappy.This displeasure made Jia Lian's air-conditioning radiate outwards as if he didn't want money, and only the boy guarding the door shivered from the cold.

After deciding to go in and find someone by himself and planning to walk away now, Jia Lian stood up decisively and walked towards the door. It will be good if someone comes here to help me with it tomorrow. Let's go and see it first. It is most appropriate to look at the sword.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the lobby, several people walked towards him.

The leader was a man in his thirties, dressed in fine clothes, with a handsome face. His aura made him look like he was not something to be taken lightly.On the other side, the person wearing the golden pheasant embroidered official uniform followed the man in the Chinese costume respectfully, followed by many officials from the official department. Visually, all of them were higher than Jia Lian's five-rank Tongzhi official.

The man in the Chinese suit looked at the man standing in front of him. His appearance was handsome. The most important thing was that the cold air emanating from the man at this time was really freezing to death. Looking at the cold face of the man, the eyes of the man in the Chinese suit Immediately, his eyes flashed, he turned his head and asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials beside him: "Master Wen, this is..."

Because Wen Xianzhi had been serving His Royal Highness who came suddenly just now, he naturally didn't listen to the message of this servant, so at this time he didn't know who the man in front of him was, and immediately showed embarrassment: "To the Prince Your Highness, this person, I don't know if this person is an official."

After hearing what the man said, Jia Lian immediately understood the identity of the man in fine clothes standing in front of him. He was the crown prince and the next emperor.However, as Sun Wangmei, his world has always been forbidden by martial arts. In the eyes of these Jianghu people, this emperor is not a big deal. Otherwise, there would not be the famous decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.At this time, as Jia Lian, although he was born in an official family, he had been recovering from his injuries before, and he had no sense of awe towards the members of the royal family in his heart, so he was not cowardly at this time.

He said calmly: "Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Prince Situ Xu was a little curious about Jia Lian's attitude, raised his eyebrows, and said, "So it's from Duke Rong's mansion. I don't know if you're here today. What's the matter?"

"I'm here to resign."

"Resign?" Situ Xu raised his eyebrows again: "A good official is wrong, why did you resign?"

"This official was originally donated. It doesn't matter whether he is a proper official or not. Now that he finds it troublesome, he will naturally resign." Jia Lian replied truthfully.

The officials of the official department who were listening at the side, when they heard Jia Lian's reply, they broke out in cold sweat. Someone would say that the official position is useless in front of the majestic prince, and they don't want it. Isn't this slapping the prince in the face?

On the contrary, Situ Xu was not dissatisfied after hearing Jia Lian's words, on the contrary, he was very happy to hear his answer: "You are an honest person, so tell me, why is this official position troublesome?"

"I want to learn swordsmanship. I have no use for this official position. Why don't you give him to someone who needs it, and let him use it well."

"Okay," Situ Xu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You can see clearly, you know that you are not that material, and you know that even if you step back, well, your request will be granted."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Jia Lian cupped his hands in thanks.

"Since your request has been approved by Gu, can you tell Gu why you are acting like this, as if you are very angry." Situ Xu looked at Jia Lian with a gleam in his eyes.

Hey my prince, are you very angry?It must be killing people, otherwise, how could the cold air be like freezing to death.A group of officials from the Ministry of Officials recited silently in their hearts.

Jia Lian had nothing to say: "I'm going to buy a sword, I don't want to wait."

"Oh, you want to practice swords, but you don't have a sword yet. How did Gu hear that this Rongguo Mansion started with military exploits, why doesn't it even have a good sword in the mansion?" Situ Xu raised his eyebrows.

"The people in the mansion are too wasteful. They took out the good sword and pawned it to pay back the money." Jia Lian replied.From what he saw, life in Rongguo Mansion was indeed too wasteful and extravagant. Not to mention the master, even the servants would have to spend a lot of money. He asked Jia She for the sword, and Jia She said no, so he would One can only think that this Rongguo Mansion is too corrupt, pawning all the good swords to maintain the current luxurious life.

The crowd choked up when they heard Jia Lian's answer, but seeing Jia Lian's serious and cold face, they couldn't help wondering whether Jia Lian's words were true, and murmured for a while.

Situ Xu also choked for a moment, but he didn't believe what Jia Lian said about the Rongguo Mansion being too poor to pawn the sword. After all, the Rongguo Mansion is the leader of four princes, eight kilometers and eight princes, so how could they have no money, but at this moment he Without saying anything, I thought Jia Lian was interesting, so I said, "Since you are going to buy a sword, have you thought about what kind of sword you want?"

This time, Jia Lian thought about it seriously: "I haven't been to the place where swords are sold in this city, and I don't know what kind of goods there are, but if I want the sword in my heart, I probably won't have it. Compared with Tianshan Black iron is hard to find, and when I find it later, I will find someone to make a good sword, so let’s just buy one and make do with it.”

The corner of Situ Xu's mouth curled up: "That's just right. There is a piece of Tianshan black iron bestowed by the emperor in Gu, but I don't want to practice swords, and I don't think about what to do with that piece of black iron. Take things and put them in the warehouse."

Jia Lian's eyes lit up when he heard Situ Xu's words, and the coldness that had not dissipated from his body was naturally gone. He took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and looked at Situ Xu seriously: "May I ask His Royal Highness to take that mysterious Give me the iron."

All the officials were sweating, my God, there are still people who just ask the prince for something, and they are not afraid of losing their heads. I really learned a lot today.

Situ Xu looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, blinked his eyes, his mind went blank for a few seconds, then looked at Jia Lian with a half-smile, and said, "No."

Situ Xu refused, this is a reasonable thing, he is the prince, the future emperor, naturally he can do whatever he wants, and he can give whatever he wants. Decided, when I go back, I will find someone to cast the black iron into a sword, so that Jia Lian can't find it, so I am anxious.

When Jia Lian heard Situ Xu's refusal, the light in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he returned to his desolate look. He nodded and said calmly, "Got it, you, Your Highness, I'll go first."

Situ Xu was taken aback again, really, a, a real person.

The capital city is a prosperous place, so Jia Lian just asked a few people if he wanted anything, and found the most famous iron shop in the capital city for making swords.

The blacksmith saw the decoration on the visitor's body, and immediately stepped forward with a smile: "Dare to ask this guest officer, what do you want?"

From the moment Jia Lian entered the shop, he fixed his eyes on the various swords hanging on the wall. It is worthy of being said that it is the first sword casting company in the capital. There are indeed many swords: "Here, there are Tianshan black iron cast Is it a black iron sword?"

When the blacksmith heard this, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face: "The guest officer is really good at joking, what a rare thing this Tianshan Xuantie is, it is a tribute to be offered, and it can be seen by us ordinary people."

"So, there is this thing in the palace." Jia Lian looked at the blacksmith with a blank expression on his face, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"But I don't know, this Tianshan Xuantie can be met but not sought, that is to say, the offering is made, but if someone finds it, it will be presented to the palace. Therefore, Xuantie is rare. In this palace, It’s not as easy as that.”

Jia Lian nodded, thinking that it would be better to wait until he had settled everything and go out to find a piece by himself, so he stopped struggling and said, "The sword I want has a three-foot-seven-inch blade and a net weight of seven catties and 13 taels. "

The blacksmith was stunned for a moment. He had never seen this kind of buyer before. He came to buy a sword without looking at it or trying it. He just reported the size. This is to buy a sword, isn't he here to buy cloth?

Jia Lian looked at the blacksmith coldly: "Is there any?"

Facing Jia Lian's cold gaze, the blacksmith felt a chill in his heart, and nodded Lian Lian: "Yes, yes." Then he took a sword from the wall and handed it to Jia Lian.

Holding the sword in one hand, Jia Lian flicked the sword slightly, nodded, "Give me another suitable black scabbard."

"Hey." The blacksmith nodded, and quickly took out the suitable scabbard.

Jia Lian put the sword back into the scabbard and nodded with satisfaction: "How much?"

"15 taels." The blacksmith stretched out his brush and was very happy to have made this deal.

Jia Lian nodded: "It's not expensive, but I didn't bring any money when I went out..."

The blacksmith's smile froze on his face, and he didn't bring any money when he went out. This means that he wants to get the Overlord Sword. Don't look at me as a blacksmith. I have some skills in my hands. My room is full of weapons. , It will definitely make you a kid who can't eat and walk around.

Then, Jia Lian said the next thing: "This is considered silver," he said, and he pulled off a white suet jade pendant from his waist, and threw it into the hands of the blacksmith: "It is definitely worth 15 taels of silver."

Value, value, of course, a piece of high-quality suet white jade, with a transparent body, is worth 100 taels, and this business is doing very well.The blacksmith held the jade pendant with both hands, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.

Jia Lian nodded and didn't care about the blacksmith's reaction. He walked out of the shop with the crow's sheath sword that was considered qualified, and murmured: "The best suet white jade is worth 500 taels. How could he have the guts to do that?" If he accepts it so calmly, isn't he afraid that I will settle the score afterwards?"

After finishing speaking, he put this matter behind his mind. Now that he has bought the sword, he will start practicing with great concentration tomorrow.
