Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 177 Jia Lian’s clever reply

Jia Lian stayed at the inn that night and returned to Chang'an to talk to Jia She the next day.

He knew that Jia She would not give up easily and had already planned his words halfway.

Jia She waited for Jia Lian for a day, feeling angry in his heart.

As soon as he saw him, he asked sharply: "I asked you to go and deliver a message. Why are you back now? Where did you wander around yesterday?"

Jia Lian hurriedly replied: "I don't know, but brother Qiong and the others went hunting in the mountains yesterday.

I had no place to look for him in the deep mountains and forests, so I waited until night for him to come back.

You haven't seen it, Brother Qiong is really brave.

Not only did he shoot a leopard, but he also killed a large insect with one knife. "

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Jia She lost his temper a little and said, "I only heard that Brother Qiong had practiced martial arts, but I didn't expect that he had such courage.

Now that he has this ability, why does he bother to take the exam for merit? Now he is only a sixth-grade petty official.

If he joins the army, it won't be difficult for us to find him a third-grade general.

What did he say about Yun Guang? "

Jia Lian complained in his heart: You look down on someone as a sixth-grade official, why do you ask others to do things?

"Back to my lord, brother Qiong said that it is not convenient for him to get involved in this matter now. He and the Jin Yiwei commander Ji Hongzhang will not deal with it.

If Yun Guang colludes with the Wala people, and he goes to intercede, not only will he not be able to save Yun Guang, but he will also probably get involved. "

Jia She frowned and asked: "When did he and Ji Hongzhang stop fighting? Why don't I know? It can't be prevarication."

"Probably not. Brother Qiong said that he was kicked out of Jinyiwei Yamen by Ji Hongzhang a while ago.

There should be many Jin Yiwei who know about this matter, he would not lie. "

Jia She said angrily: "This Jia Qiong, why did you offend Ji Hongzhang for nothing? Isn't this bringing trouble for yourself!"

Jia Lian knew that he felt sorry for the money Xu from Yunguang's family, so he said: "What Brother Qiong means, whether Yunguang can come out depends on whether he himself has colluded with the Wala people.

He will help keep an eye on it, but Jin Yiwei doesn't dare to do anything. Doesn't this count as us helping him?

You have already helped him clear the relationship. If he is safe and sound, he will have to thank you.

If he can't come out, it's because he has no luck on his own, so even if we help him, it won't be of much use. "

Jia She nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Students are still more spendthrift, so let's do it this way.

You go and reply to Yun Guang's family, so that he won't admit it when he comes out. "

Jia Lian hurriedly agreed: "It's the master, I'll go now."

The actions of Yun Guang and Jia She and his son were actually all under the supervision of Jin Yiwei.

As early as when Yun Guang was arrested, the Yun family was already under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.

The conversation between Jia Qiong and the others at the inn, as well as the conversation between Jia She and his son, were quickly sent to Emperor Longqing's desk by Ji Hongzhang.

Emperor Longqing saw the share of Jia She and his son, and said angrily: "These idiots in the Jia family are really hopeless.

He only thinks about money and has no idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. "

Ji Hongzhang agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, these are just a bunch of moths. It's better to get rid of them earlier."

Emperor Longqing glanced at him noncommittally and asked, "Have you become enemies with Jia Qiong? Why did you expel him?"

Ji Hongzhang sneered and said, "It's what happened with the Golden Tiger Gang last time.

He opened his mouth and asked me for five hundred steeds to ride on, but I couldn't hold it back for a moment, so I had someone drive him out.

In fact, I didn't take it to heart at all. "Ji Hongzhang told the truth, otherwise this information would not have appeared here intact.

Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "Although that boy has a prickly head, he is a talent that can be developed. I will make great use of him in the future."

Ji Hongzhang said hurriedly: "I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will not have any grudge against him because of this trivial matter."

"Okay, you go down."

After Ji Hongzhang left, Emperor Longqing picked up Jia Qiong's secret report and read it again, shaking his head and laughing.

He thought to himself: You naughty guy, I said I wanted to ask for leave that day, but all I wanted to do was run outside to hide.

Killing a tiger with one sword is a true warrior!

He is brave, resourceful, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and can be called a national scholar.

How to win over such a great talent? Emperor Longqing couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In the Qingyun Temple Villa, since returning from hunting that day, Jia Baoyu and the others began to study and learn martial arts with Jia Qiong.

Jia Qiong arranged the three people's work and rest time, practicing martial arts in the morning, studying literature in the afternoon, and sometimes taking them hunting.

Although Jia Baoyu does not practice martial arts, Jia Qiong assigned him more homework.

In the first few days, Jia Mu and Li Wan often came to visit, or directly sent maids to call them over, but every time they were pushed back by Jia Qiong's soft nails.

The key point was that Jia Qiong was full of truth, and they couldn't refute what he said.

Jia Baoyu and the other three were also willing to listen to Jia Qiong, leaving Jia's mother at a loss, so she finally gave up and allowed Jia Qiong to teach her.

Jia Qiong wrote a letter to Jia Zheng, asking him to invite him to teach Jia Huan and Jia Lan martial arts. With the Jia family's connections in the military, it was not difficult to find a martial arts instructor.

In a blink of an eye, it's the seventh day of July, another annual girls' festival, and it's also Jia Qiong's birthday.

Early in the morning, Jia Qiong took Jia Huan and Jia Lan to practice martial arts by the lake. Jia Baoyu was immersed in reading an article in a pavilion not far away.

Jia Qiong brought two bows today and wanted to teach Jia Lan and the others archery.

As he was teaching, he saw Yuanyang slowly walking over with some hesitation.

In the past few days, Jia Mu's eldest maid was often sent by Jia Mu to see Baoyu. She was often lectured by Jia Qiong and encountered the most problems, which made her a little afraid of Jia Qiong.

Yuanyang met Jia Qiong's scrutinizing gaze, stepped forward and said, "Uncle Qiong, the old lady said that today is Chinese Valentine's Day, and it is also your birthday.

You have been working very hard these days teaching these young masters to study and practice martial arts. Can you give them a day off so that you can have a day of leisure?

The old lady specially invited the theater troupe to come and celebrate your birthday. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Let the ancestors take the trouble. In that case, I will give them a day off."

Yuanyang was overjoyed when he heard this, and turned around to go back to restore Jia Mu's life.

But I heard Jia Qiong say to Jia Baoyu and the others: "I'm giving you a holiday not because today is my birthday or the Chinese Valentine's Day.

But because you have been studying hard these days, I think you can relax a little. Relaxation is the way of civility and martial arts.

But you must complete the basic training every day. The two of you will stand for half an hour while Baoyu writes an essay.

Three watch lights and five watch chickens are when the boy is studying.

This is the time when you need to work hard and make progress. If you catch a day off today, and another day off tomorrow for someone's birthday, how many days will you have left in the year?

Remember this sentence: One day of practice will lead to success; one day of non-practice will make you empty.

If you take one day off today and one day off the day after tomorrow, your training this year will be in vain, remember? "

Jia Qiong's training was very effective, and the three of them immediately replied loudly: "Remember!"
