The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 84 If you can’t afford it, don’t play! (Please subscribe!)

He was grabbed by Jashan.

Jia Shan looked helplessly at the envoy of the Qianxiang Female Kingdom who was full of grief and anger, knowing that they couldn't afford it.

A little trouble or wave can mean life or death.

If you die, that's all. Don't dirty the land and go back to your old home to die.

Jia Shan winked at the guard on the side. The guard stepped forward and removed the samurai sword of the envoy of the Qian Xiang Kingdom in three strokes.

Looking at this decorative samurai sword, Jia Shan stepped forward and patted the envoy of the Qianxiang Kingdom on the shoulder.

The envoy from the Qianxiang Kingdom looked up at Jia Shan.

Jashan spoke calmly.

"There is a saying in Daqian that is willing to accept defeat when gambling. If you lose, you lose. Why do you have to live and die?"

Jia Shan asked the guards to return the samurai sword to the envoy of Qian Xiang's country.

The envoy of the Akane Kingdom shed tears while looking at the katana on the ground.

He is ashamed of his motherland.

The envoy from the Qianxiang Kingdom left the hall in a dangling manner.

Daqian students let out waves of laughter.

The envoys who stayed here all lowered their heads heavily, and Princess Hengyang looked at Jia Shan.

"Jia Shanyi is indeed my prodigy. You are so good."

"Wonderful praise from the princess!"

Jia Shan, who was praised, bowed humbly to Princess Hengyang.

Princess Hengyang, who disliked formality, waved her hand.

"Don't be humble anymore. I will ask Father for a reward on your behalf tomorrow."

Hearing this, Jia Shan's joy blossomed.

Princess Hengyang is better, she never talks nonsense.

This time, there seems to be a reward of a hundred acres of land for answering the question, but I don’t know where the hundred acres are.

If it was from a ravine, he would still give money to the villagers.

Jia Shan returned to her seat, and the prince excitedly pulled Jia Shan to ask for the formula for the Rubik's Cube. Jia Shan recited the formula again, and the prince ordered someone to write it down.

It was getting darker and darker, and until midnight, music and dancing were still playing in the hall.

Who said that ancient people could stay up longer than modern people if they didn't stay up late and turned on their bodies?

Jia Shan, who was very sleepy, said hello and left.

Jia Shan was able to perform such a feat. Boss Shuan, the coachman who was waiting at the entrance of Qujiang Pool, was so excited that he pulled the other coachmen who were waiting on the other side to have fun.

Although the other coachmen felt sour in their hearts, when they thought of Jia Shan, they all paid tribute to Boss Shuan.

Those of them who work as coachmen for their masters in the capital are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. The more powerful the master they serve, the more prestigious they are in the circle of coachmen.

With the rise of Jia Shan, Boss Shuan has also gained a place in the circle of coachmen in Beijing.

When Jia Shan came to Jia's carriage, Boss Shuan became more respectful than before.

I saw him lying on the ground, letting Jashan step on his back.

Jashan frowned deeply.

"Where's the horse stool?"

"Fourth Master, just step on the villain and get in the car, and let the villain imbibe your style."

Jashan's frown deepened.

Chang Wei, the servant who had been following Jia Shan for a long time, kicked Boss Shuan.

"Get out of here quickly, is Fourth Master the kind of person who treats people so badly?"

What the boy Chang Wei said touched Jia Shan's heart, and Jia Shan gave the boy an appreciative look.

Le Dian Dian, the young man, bowed humbly to Jia Shan.

Boss Shuan brought the horse stool, and Jia Shan stepped on the horse stool and got into the carriage.

Just listen to Boss Shuan’s voice and you’ll be fine~
The carriage of Rongguo Mansion was driving on the street heading to Rongguo Mansion.

At this time, the street was very lively.

Jia Shan couldn't help but lift the curtain. Seeing the lively scene outside, Jia Shan couldn't help but become curious.

Usually at this time, the curfew starts, but why is it so busy outside today.

Jia Shan looked at the boy.

The boy smiled and spoke.

"Fourth Master is unaware of something. Your Majesty is a virtuous majesty. Thinking that the banquet in Qujiang has been held, he asked someone to lift the curfew by the way."

Jia Shan nodded. From a distance, Jia Shan saw her second brother Jia Lian in official uniform.

Jia Shan asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the side of the road. Jia Shan jumped out of the carriage and ran to Jia Lian's side.

Jia Lian, who had been patrolling, saw surprise flashing in Jia Shan's eyes.

"Xiao Si, why are you here? Is the Qujiang Banquet not fun?"

Jia Shan shook her head towards Jia Lian.

"It's not that it's not fun, it's just that I'm sleepy. Why is my second brother here?"

Jia Lian sighed.

"Your Majesty has imposed a curfew, and there are so many kidnappers now. I'm afraid something will happen, so I go out for a walk."

Hearing Jia Lian's words, Jia Shan turned her eyes to the patrolling government servants, and a team of Jinwu guards appeared in front of Jia Shan.

Jia Shan couldn't help crying or laughing.

"This matter is not your business, second brother. What's the use of your three melons and two dates here?"

"It's not under my control."

"But these people have to report the crime to the county government office."

Jia Lian asked Jia Shan, and Jia Shan nodded.

What is the inevitable connection between this? Jia Lian spoke again.

"Since I have to report to the county government, I, the county magistrate, cannot absolve myself of the blame. I will just be tired for a few days."

"What a pitiful parent in the world. Now that I'm a father, I really can't bear to see the separation of flesh and blood. I've been tired for the past few days, so I think it's to accumulate blessings for Brother Cang and Sister Qin."

Jason nodded.

Jia Lian is really getting better and better. The young master who only knew how to be happy and happy has now become a county magistrate who knows how to take the initiative to care for the people.

It makes such a big difference to have kids or not.

After a while, the sharp-eyed government officials caught a pickpocket and brought the pickpocket to Jia Lian to ask for credit.

Jia Lian used the fan in his hand to pick up the pickpocket's face. A big pimple appeared on the side of the pickpocket's mouth.

Jia Lian withdrew the fan in disgust.

"You are really brave. I am standing right here, and you dare to steal under my nose."

"Sir, spare your life!"

The pickpocket knelt down in front of Jia Lian, but Jia Lian didn't even bother to look at him and glanced at the yamen servant. The yamen servant understood clearly and held the pickpocket down.

Jia Lian's eyes fell on Jia Shan again.

"You should go back quickly. There is a lively banquet at home now."

After listening to Jia Lian's words, Jia Shan took the carriage back.

When the sharp-eyed Menzi saw Jia Shan coming back, he immediately ran to the house.

Jia Shan, who didn't care about this, took the carriage back to Dongchuayuan. He was sleepy and just wanted to sleep.

However, Jia Shan underestimated Jia Mu and others' curiosity about Qujiang Wenyan. Jia Shan, who had taken off her clothes, was dug out of the quilt by Jia Mu's people.

Jia Shan resentfully was dressed by the servant, and then sat in a sedan chair to Jia Mu's courtyard.

At this time, it was a lively time in Jia Mu's courtyard. Everyone was writing poems, painting, and guessing lantern riddles.

Even Wang Xifeng, who was recently in confinement, came.

"old lady!"

Jia Shan bowed to Jia Mu sleepily.

Mother Jia smiled and asked Jia Shan to stand up. Jia Shanyan sat on the seat and leaned on the table, answering questions from the sisters in the house.

"Shan'er, Shan'er."

Yingchun pushed Jia Shan whose eyes were closed, and Jia Shan slowly opened her eyes.

"Sister, just let me go and let me sleep."

Yingchun glanced sideways at Jia Shan.

"It's rare to have such a happy time, so why sleep?"

Jia Shan could no longer open her eyes.

The Spring Festival Order brought the refreshing ginseng soup and poured down a bowl of soup. Jia Shan saw two figures in front of her in a daze.

One is Yingchun and the other is Daiyu.

Jashan was startled.

"Good sister, just let me sleep. I really can't hold it anymore."

Jia Shan started to act like a baby, and Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled fondly at Jia Shan. "Why are you still sleepy after drinking ginseng soup?"

"I don't know, I'm just sleepy."

Jia Shan lay on the table and stared at Lin Daiyu like a puppy.

Daiyu was struck by Jia Shan's sleepy look.

Yingchun pushed Daiyu.

"Don't spoil him. How can we just let him sleep when we finally get together?"

"Yes, yes!"

Xichun helped, and Wang Xifeng came over from Jia Mu's table.

The sitting sisters all stood up.

"Why is the second sister-in-law here?"

Wang Xifeng spoke cheerfully.

"Old lady, let me take a look. If Xiaosi is really sleepy, let him go to the side room to rest. I won't let you girls bully him."

"Second sister-in-law is so bad, why did we bully him?"

Yingchun pulled Wang Xifeng's hand angrily, and Wang Xifeng tapped Yingchun's head with her hand.

"You girl, you are getting more and more naughty."

The mother-in-law carried Jia Shan into the side room.

Listening to the noise outside, Jashan slept comfortably all night.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that I woke up again and looked at the unfamiliar environment around me.

Jia Shan frowned as her mother-in-law came in from outside.

"Fourth Master is awake?"

Familiar mother-in-law, this is not the one in Jia Mu's house.

Jashan asked subconsciously: "Why am I here?"

The mother-in-law smiled slightly.

"Last night, you fell asleep at the banquet, so the old lady left you to sleep here."

"Where is the old lady?"

"There are a lot of guests coming to the house today. The old lady got up early in the morning."

Jia Shan nodded, and suddenly Jia Shan thought of her grandfather.

He was really sleepy. Today was not a day for rest, so why did he sleep like this?

Jia Shan asked her mother-in-law to find someone to get his official uniform.

The mother-in-law stood still, and Jia Shan looked at her doubtfully.

"Fourth Master won favor for us at the Qujiang Banquet yesterday. His Majesty granted the world a general amnesty and gave the civil and military officials a three-day holiday."

so good?
Jashan's eyes lit up.

"This morning, His Majesty's reward has also arrived, and it's the same prince who came."

"Then why didn't you wake me up?"

The mother-in-law smiled again.

"The prince asked you to rest."

This is really a great honor. As she said this, the mother-in-law brought a small box from the table.

"This is your Majesty's reward."

Jia Shan took the box with great solemnity and saw two pieces of paper lying in the box.

Opening the paper, it said Wangzhuang Village, twenty miles east of the suburbs of Beijing. In addition, there was another paper showing a shop in the West Market in the city. A joyful light flashed in Jia Shan's eyes.

With these two, he will be financially independent.

Jashan closed the box.

"Fourth Master, do you want to get up?"

The mother-in-law, who had a little understanding of Jia Shan's habits, asked Jia Shan. Jia Shan shook her head.

"I want to sleep some more!"

After saying that, Jashan fell asleep.

In Jia Mu's room, the ladies surrounded Jia Mu like stars over the moon.

Mother Jia sat on the couch with a kind-hearted look and dealt with people with ease.

"How did the old lady teach her grandson to be so clever? Let alone pesticides. Yesterday, my family's son also went to Qujiang for a banquet. After he came back, he was full of praise for the old lady's grandson. Can the old lady teach you your experience? We should also learn from the old lady’s method of raising grandchildren.”

The wife of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple spoke.

When all the ladies heard that it was related to raising children, their eyes all fell on Jia Mu, wanting to hear Jia Mu's parenting experience.

At this time, Jia Mu's face was full of pride.

In the past, at times like this, she could only look at the other wives silently and talk, but now she can also speak up.

The mother-in-law who was waiting for Jia Shan came in.

Jia Mu looked at her mother-in-law.

"Xiao Si is up?"

The old woman shook her head.

"Fourth Master is really tired. He just fell asleep again as soon as he woke up."

Hearing this, all the ladies became uneasy. How could their children be like this? They woke up at midnight and continued to sleep.

Could this be the reason why Jia Shan was so smart? All the ladies began to wonder.

Jia Mu waved her mother-in-law away and looked at the ladies who were thinking hard with a smile.

"Everyone has seen it. That child is really not his business."

"How to say!"

The interest of the wives of each family was once again mentioned by Jia Mu.

Jia Mu sighed deeply.

"The child's mother died young, so I didn't take care of him, so he was raised like this. However, he also strived to be strong and studious since he was a child. He learned a lot of words without anyone teaching him, and then he started to read on his own. .”

The ladies in the room clicked their tongues, maybe he really was a genius sent from heaven, otherwise how could a little bastard with no one to look after him become so powerful.

Jia Mu spoke again.

"Do you know that the last Jiangnan Jieyuan was Shen Conglin."

The eyes of all the ladies lit up, how could they not know this.

That was Wenquxing who came to the world, won the first place in Jieyuan at the age of less than [-], and was a top three talent in the future.

They had discussed it together before, but it was a pity that Shen Jieyuan and Princess Hengyang were close.

Otherwise, Gao Luo would find such a good son-in-law for his daughter.

"Then Shen Jieyuan is my Xiaosi's biological uncle."

There was a gasp in the house.

Looking at it this way, it’s just following the roots.

"His biological mother is also a good person. She comes from a farming family. It is said that she is very lucky to meet such a good girl."

"Old lady, tell me."

Madam is the least resistant to gossip, so Jia Mu smiled.

"That girl is also a filial person. My eldest son has not had many children, so when he got married again, I took the opportunity to give him a room. By coincidence, I found out that there was a girl in a family on Zhizi Street who was waiting for marriage. I hope my family will be the one to marry him. You can’t live in that kind of family.”

The crowd nodded.

The ancestors who can live in Zhizi Street are families who have been studying for generations. How can a girl from such a family be a concubine?

Jia Mu continued.

"It happened that her father was seriously ill, and the family's money was scattered. It was impossible to raise any more money, so I just gave it a try and sent a matchmaker to go there. That girl is She is really filial, she clearly doesn’t want to be a concubine, her hands are bruised, but she still agrees for her father.”

Speaking of this, the eyes of the people in the room changed, and they couldn't help but make plans in their minds.

Many of their sons have reached the age of getting married. Should their sons also be given such a room?

The ladies in the house soon dismissed this idea.

How could the daughter of a scholar take someone as a concubine at will? The old lady also said that it was just good luck.

Everyone's hearts stopped.

"After that, the girl was ill-fated and died not long after. I asked my eldest son to carry her to the side room. This would not be considered as letting her down."

Everyone nodded, this is the reason.

For such a good girl to have given birth to such a promising grandson, this side wife should be taken care of.

"Where is the eldest daughter-in-law of the old lady's family?"

The wife of the family took the initiative to ask Mrs. Xing.

Mother Jia's displeasure with Mrs. Xing flashed in her heart.

"She has been in poor health for the past two years and devoted herself to Buddha."

Understanding what this meant, the lady in the house stopped mentioning her.
