Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Yan Liang met Jia She on the way.In this person, Yan Liang saw more evil causes than Jia Zhen.

The two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia are really wonderful gathering places. I really don't know how the old masters of the two prefectures taught their children to develop such a bad look.But this Mr. Xi is a bit funny, he is a real villain, he shows everything on his face, without pretentiousness.Compared with his hypocritical younger brother, Yan Liang still prefers the 'truth' of Jia She.

"Brother Jing, I really didn't expect you to come back. I wanted to see you a long time ago, but I was afraid that you like to be quiet and don't bother to see a filth like me." Jia Amnesty was afraid that Yan Liang would not understand, so he added with a smile, "I had a stomachache on your birthday, so I didn't go."

"You are too polite. I welcome you whenever you want, but there is one thing, just don't tease my maid." Yan Liang patted Jia She on the shoulder.

Jia She laughed, a little flattered, he didn't expect Jia Jing, who has always been upright, to joke with him sometimes.In the past, there were three brothers, him, Jia Zheng and Jia Jing, but he was not in the top class.Both of them are good at reading, and they usually talk about poetry, ambitions, etc. Jia She really can't get along with them.

But today, Jia Amnesty felt that Brother Jing was a little different. Although he still looked a little 'high', it was different from the previous Qinggao.Jia Amnesty couldn't help getting closer, "Where are you going?"

Yan Liang: "Rongxi Hall."

Jia She was not happy when he heard this, "Ah, just after you came back, you went to Rongxi Hall to look for him, but you didn't look for me. Sure enough, you despise me and don't want to see me."

"It's not. After I visited the old lady, he said that my brother was waiting for me to have a drink at the Rongxi Hall. Could it be without you?" Yan Liang asked back.

Jia She's face became even more unhappy, and he rolled his eyes and said, "The old lady is partial, how could she think of me."

After all, he turned around and left, not intending to greet Mother Jia.

"Come with me to Rongxi Hall over there." Yan Liang looked at Jia Amnesty with bright eyes, and felt that this fellow was easy to deal with, so he planned to get closer to him first.

"Really? That's a good thing. When my second brother runs on me later, you have to help me." Jia Shele laughed.

Yan Liang nodded slightly.

The two chatted all the way to Rongxi hall.

The maid who was sent by Mrs. Wang earlier told the story of just being at Jiamu's place.Jia Zheng is filial and feels that Jia Jing has gone too far in these two matters.There is also that child Xichun, since the old lady likes to raise her, he should send the child here, and save himself trouble, why should he refuse, as if their Rongfu would treat his daughter harshly!

Jia Zheng was already on fire, a little dissatisfied, but when he heard the rumor from his servants that Jia Jing had brought Jia Amnesty, he was very upset.

Yan Liang came to Rongxi Hall for the first time, and couldn't help but take a second look.When the maid picked up the curtain, his eyes were still on the maid who had just entered the courtyard holding the golden vase.

"Brother is here when he's free." Jia Zheng laughed, and sent someone to fetch another wine glass, bowl and chopsticks.

Jia Amnesty was laughing at first, but when Jia Zheng sighed, he became very angry, and his face became gloomy.

Jia Zheng pretended not to notice, and after inviting Yan Liang to sit down, he asked about Jia Zhen's injury, and said that he had a good ointment in his hand, and asked someone to bring it to him in a while.

Jia She sneered: "Second brother, what good medicine is it? Let's take a look. I don't believe that Ningfu will lack it?"

Yan Liang glanced at Jia She approvingly, smiled warmly, and suddenly felt that this guy had merit.

"Don't meddle in it." Jia Zheng said in a helpless tone.

Jia Amnesty stared angrily, and was about to argue with Jia Zheng when Yan Liang took the lead.

"Your elder brother is right, there is no shortage of medicine in Ning's residence, and the child is young and has strong bones, so don't worry."

Jia Zheng choked and took a sip of wine in a muffled voice.

Jia Amnesty was happy, and smiled and toasted Yan Liang.The two clinked glasses, and after drinking, they chattered about, and finally talked about Jia Lian, leaving Jia Zheng aside.Jia Zheng had never received such a cold reception when eating wine among the Jia family brothers, and he was very sullen.

"I heard he's getting engaged?" Yan Liang asked.

Mentioning this, Jia Amnesty became annoyed, "It should be. It's not my turn to speak. It's all decided by the old lady. I guess it's because she likes a good girl, so she absolutely refuses to let go."

When Jia Amnesty mentioned "who's family", he deliberately glanced at Jia Zheng.Everyone thinks he's an asshole, but he's not.Asking his son to marry Jia Zheng's wife and niece is clearly bullying them.

Yan Liang didn't know what was going on, so he just pretended it was a happy event.

Soon, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu came to say hello.Jia Zheng passed Jia Zhu's class and was satisfied with his answer, so Fang nodded and sent him away.Usually at this time, there will always be guests or Qingke who stand up and say a few words of admiration, saying that Jia Zhu is exceptionally talented.But today only Jia She and Yan Liang were present, and Jia She would not praise anything, because he didn't like scholars because of Jia Zheng's relationship.Yan Liang, on the other hand, didn't think there was anything outstanding about the questions in Jia Zheng's exam, so he naturally wouldn't praise anything against his will.

Jia Zheng became even more sullen, he couldn't drink a sip of wine, and his face turned red.

"I heard about the girl from Qinglefang, did you help Zhen'er with the idea?" Yan Liang suddenly questioned Jia Zheng, catching him off guard.

"Ah?" Jia Zheng was so embarrassed that Yan Liang laughed so hard that he felt uncomfortable.As a scholar, what he valued most was his innocence and reputation.He suddenly mentioned such a thing in front of his elder brother...

Jia Amnesty looked over.

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth, firmly denying it.

Yan Liang suddenly realized, smiled and said to Jia Zheng, "It must be because Zhen'er is afraid of being punished and lied. You say he is like this, and dare to frame his second uncle, can I not be angry? Is it wrong for me to beat him?"

"That's right, that's right, he really deserves to fight." When dealing with Jia Zhen's problem, Jia Zheng immediately changed his attitude.

Yan Liang stared at Jia Zheng: "Then your old lady..."

"I'll say it, I'll say it!" Jia Zheng still felt the threat in the other party's eyes, so he answered the conversation naturally.

The three of them drank a little drunk, so they just drank, each of them was special.

After watching Yan Liang off, Jia Zheng felt uncomfortable, so he called Qing Ke and then Jia Zhu to re-examine the eldest son.

……

After Yan Liang left Rong Mansion, he didn't go back to the mansion directly, but asked the carriage to drive casually on the street, he wanted to see the prosperity of the capital.It's really good, but it's just a little bit worse than the capital under his rule.

At the intersection of Xianghe Street, Yan Liang stopped the carriage and decided to get out of the carriage for a walk by himself. Among the entourage, only Wu Qiumao followed.

It takes about two sticks of incense to walk normally on this street from east to west.Yan Liang wandered aimlessly, and it took a long time to stop and go.

Yan Liang prefers to stay in crowded and lively places. If he can meet a storyteller in a teahouse, he will be more interested to sit down and listen to it.

Finally, I walked to a teahouse at the end of the street, full of people, and the storyteller was talking about the rebellion of a certain king.

After listening to the storytelling, Yan Liang asked Wu Qiumao if he knew who the person in the storytelling was.

Wu Qiumao looked around, and carefully said to Yan Liang: "It's that imprisoned Prince Shun, who is really bold in storytelling now."

Yan Liang drank tea without saying a word.

After leaving the teahouse, Yan Liang went to the shop to pick out a long-lived silver lock for Wu Qiumao's son.

Wu Qiumao took the silver lock excitedly to thank him, and said happily: "The little one is dead now, and I am content."

Yan Liang waved his hand and continued walking, and then stopped at the largest inn, restaurant, and tailor shop on Xianghe Street...

Yan Liang asked Wu Qiumaoyi to investigate to see if there were any shops for sale on this street, and told him later.

Wu Qiumao quickly agreed.

Then, Yan Liang went to the north of the city by car, and heard that there was an area where the people living were very poor, and there were refugees and beggars gathered together.

After Yan Liang drove around the north of the city, he saw a decent house for sale, and the alley behind the house was a resting place for many beggars.Yan Liang asked Wu Qiumao to ask the price of the house, and it was very cheap, so he bought it.

Leaving the north of the city, it was almost dark, and there were few people on the street. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow, bringing the aroma of vegetables and rice.

"Master, shall we go back?" Wu Qiumao asked.

Yan Liang pondered, "I won't be coming back tonight."

Wu Qiumao: "Master, where are we going?"

Yan Liang got out of the carriage, leaving only Wu Qiumao behind, and the rest of the people were sent away, not even the carriage.

Yan Liang asked Wu Qiumao to hire another car and drive directly to Hualiu Lane.
