The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Entering the Rongqing Hall, the old lady was sitting on the couch, stunned.

Sheng Jizong cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Old aunt, many have never seen your body and bones still tough, right?"

The old lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Thanks to you, it's okay! Please take a seat!"

Sheng Jizong pleaded guilty and took the seat, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were standing on the side, "Old aunt, your brother Lian is very good! Seeing that the old prince has a successor, we, the younger generation, are very pleased!"

The old lady nodded and smiled and said, "It's just Hu Xian, how good is he? But it's only because of the blessings of our ancestors and the help of you who have made us what we are today!"

Sheng Jizong said with a smile: "If you are not afraid of the old aunt's annoyance, if Brother Lian is not good, we will not praise him."

The old lady smiled reluctantly.

He turned around and said, "Have you called Baoyu?"

Chapter [*] This should be auspicious. Not long after, a man came out from the back of the hall. He was wearing a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair on his head. A two-color golden butterfly wears big red arrow sleeves, is tied with multicolored silk and flower knots with long spikes, and the outer cover is azurite with eight groups of Japanese forged earrings.His face is like the moon of the Mid-autumn Festival, the color is like the flowers of spring dawn, cut like a knife, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his face is like peach petals, and his eyes are like autumn waves.On the neck is a gold chisel and a five-color silk sash tied with a piece of beautiful jade.

The old lady hurriedly greeted: "Baoyu, come and meet Uncle Niu of the Duke's Mansion."

Baoyu immediately walked up to Niu Jizong obediently and gave a long bow.The action is unrestrained, completely the model of everyone's son, impeccable.

Sheng Jizong smiled and said: "It's really good!" He glanced at Jia Lian again, wearing a straight tie, any silk tie, and a hosta on his head to tie his hair, which was also tied with a ribbon, "Look at you! With you Compared to my brother, that's casual! I don't know if I have to dress up when I come out to see guests? I really don't know the rules."

He shook his head and sighed, which made Jia Zheng's face dull.

Sheng Jizong patted Baoyu on the shoulder enthusiastically, "This boy is handsome, I'm afraid he will be a handsome boy in the future!

Jia Lian had experienced Niu Jizong's slap, and it was so powerful that with just one touch, Baoyu couldn't take it anymore, she frowned, afraid that she didn't cry out, Jia Lian smiled and pulled Baoyu away, "Uncle Shi, my younger brother is weaker than him. Don't let your nephew be beaten, if you miss, the old lady will trouble me, be careful I'm in a hurry, so I have to grab your beard to take revenge."

Sheng Jizong just took his hand back, "After all, the children of the Wuxun family, even if they don't go on the battlefield to kill the enemy, should be different from other Xungui families. Just like the boys in my family, since they were eight years old, they have He told them that they had to go out to fight me every day and it didn't matter whether I won or lost, the key was to practice courage, sharpen arrogance, and build up my backbone, so after all these years, it didn't count as shame for me. I must go ahead, only the blood is called a man, and it is the man of the government of our town."

As soon as Sheng Jizong talked about his way of running the family, the old lady's face changed.Especially to encourage their own children to go out to make trouble, it is simply unacceptable!

How can the children of our Rongguo Mansion be so rude and rude? Sheng Jizong smiled and said, "This child Baoyu is weaker. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't train me, just like the grandfather of the country, he trained hard, and there is no one who can't become a talent."

It was as if the old lady almost forgot about the person in front of her. She was no longer a shy boy who spoke in front of her twenty years ago, but an important court official in a high position and calling for wind and rain.

She had the heart to say a few words for Baoyu, but she couldn't say it with a smile, Jia Lian said, "Uncle Shi, my brother shouldn't go on the battlefield to kill the enemy. It's his duty to be gentle and polite."

Sheng Jizong laughed, "I forgot, only you are qualified to be so unlucky in the Rong Mansion, but then again, your boy Yangzhou Cheng Chongguan is angry and doesn't talk about those salt merchants, and even the famous people who were once the Supreme Emperor were arrested. You have been slashed all over the door, and you are very ruthless and ruthless. I am afraid that the old man still remembers that the old man's expedition to the west was really paved with human heads, pushing it every inch and every inch. Over the years , Above the Nine Sides, those barbarians are terrified when they see the big banner of Jia character, and it is really fascinating to escape thousands of miles!"

Speaking of the grandfather of the old country, Jia Lian's grandfather, the brilliant achievements, the people present and Yourongyan, especially the old lady, are old and don't like these fights, but when it comes to the events of the past, Tears poured down and Jia Zheng cupped his hands and said, "When my father and grandfather created such a career, it is a pity that the children and grandchildren are not filial and cannot inherit honors and heroes. I am truly ashamed!"

Sheng Jizong smiled and said: "What is worthy of? You are not a family in Shenjing.

After all, Duke Rong has someone to follow, so he can comfort Jiuquan. "

The old lady wiped away her tears, "Ancestors protect me. I don't want them to be rich and noble, I just want them to live a happy life."

Sheng Jizong nodded, "What the old lady said is very true, if you are a parent, this is the case."

He squinted at Baoyu who was rubbing his shoulders beside him, and said with a smile, "I heard that this brother was born with a jade in his head, so he must be a fortunate person. Since he is absolutely skilled in martial arts, he must be someone who can read. Dare to ask Where did you read it?"

Baoyu, who was slapped by Sheng Jizong, did not dare to look at him, and he had to answer, "Just read "The Moderate Mean"

Sheng Jizong shook his head, "When I was young, my family used to force me to study. I don't know about our children. With my knowledge, filial piety, learning, and mediocrity come after Meng. With your current age, I'm afraid you have already It's too late. Since there is no Spyker, and you don't practice martial arts, you can only be graduated from the imperial examinations. This is a difficult time, far more difficult than going into battle to kill the enemy."

Seeing that Baoyu didn't listen at all, he didn't go on talking, "Your Rongguo mansion is richer than my town's mansion, and the family property is enough. By the way, can you show me that jade?"

Baoyu didn't move for a while, and Jia Zheng didn't like to scold him, so he had to take off the jade by himself, and hand it to Niu Jizong. Don't forget, Xian Shou Hengchang. This is a bit interesting. I didn't believe that Xian Shou had a little auspicious taste! Is this the legendary natural vision?"

Auspicious? Jia Lian on the side remembered what Jiahe Lingzhi, Shen Dingyu, and auspicious auspiciousness should all be handed over to the court? Knowing that it is auspicious, and keeping it by himself, do you have a different mind? It is also born with a vision ? This means deep hatred? In 680, Jia Lian laughed and said: "Where is the auspiciousness, the child is playing with it, but the old lady next to it is not happy." Wrong"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, look carefully, but is it auspicious?"

Sheng Jizong stretched out his hand to Jia Lian, but did not return it to Baoyu, "I can't tell the difference between auspiciousness and auspiciousness with my naked eyes. It's just difficult for others to tell."

The old lady hurriedly ordered Baoyu to put it on again. Now the old lady also reacted, and hurriedly said with a smile: "It's a rare thing. It can't be true."

Sheng Jizong got up and said, "Okay, I should go too."

Jia Lian urged: "Uncle Shi is busy with official business, so he should have gone back earlier. It's a waste of time to spend time here! I'll send Uncle Shi out now."

Sheng Jizong said annoyed: "You brat, you thought that being a marquis would make me one head taller, but I really tell you, since you are a prince, I'm still your uncle. Be careful, I'll give you small shoes in front of the emperor. !

However, Jia Lian said: "How will you return to your uncle now? You said you gave me a carload of things, but now there is no shadow."

Sheng Jizong rolled up his sleeves and said, "I am in front of the imperial government to help you out. You really fell for me, right? When you give birth to a son and inherit your Rongguo Mansion, I will give you a cart of gold beads."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Don't tie it with paper, right?"

Sheng Jizong smiled and said, "Do you still want the truth?"

Chapter [*] Then I will go ahead of you. Jia has always sent Niu Zong out of the house to Sheng Jizong, grabbed his hand, and said with a smile: "I can see that the old lady of your family seems to love your jade very much. The younger brother?"

Jia Lian said, "Uncle Shi has already said that he was born with a jade in his head, so naturally it is different."

Sheng Jizong smiled and said: "You don't need to be very nervous, your younger brother is also in his teens. Fortunately, the name of jade has been passed down a long way. Fortunately, the emperor and the emperor never cared about this. Turning a blind eye is just for you to understand that the emperor has a deep heart. When you are in the upper hand, anyone who accuses you of treason will be fine. If you drink cold water and get stuck between your teeth, even the fault of the work site may be a disaster! Such a conspicuous thing? Jia Lian gave him a deep bow, "Thank you Uncle Shi Jinyu for his good words!"

Sheng Jizong laughed, "I see that you have a very bad temper with me. If you mention a few words to you, don't blame me for being eloquent and deliberately trying to scare you!"

Jia Lian said: "Uncle Shi is very fond of my little nephew, and my little nephew is naturally grateful. If you will...

Before he could finish speaking, Jizong stopped him with a smile; "Remember, I'm not doing it for your Rongguo Mansion. To be honest, you are the only one I can see in your Rong Ning Mansion. It's not worthy of me to look at them. I'm cherishing talents for the country!"

Jia Lian became more and more confused, thinking that he was the leader of the founding nobles with King Beijing, and that he and King Zhongshun's party disliked each other.

Originally thought that King Beijing and the others were supported by the Emperor Taishang, while Zhongshun had the support of the Emperor.

Now it seems that he and King Beijing are not necessarily inseparable, and King Zhongshun and the emperor are not necessarily the same.

The old and the new were intertwined into a mess, which disrupted the overall situation of the court that Jia Lian seemed to have already distinguished.

Sheng Jizong kindly knocked on the head, "Don't you think that I'm with you enough to get other people's ideas?"

Jia Lian's confused eyes immediately cleared, "Uncle Shi, don't be joking, this is a life-threatening event. Sheng Jizong walked out of the door with his hands behind his back, "Think about it, you only recommended Jia Shouzhong, your in-law in the Rong residence, to do it a few days ago. Servant of the Ministry of Rites! The emperor defies all opinions!"

Unexpectedly, his unintentional actions caused such a situation.

Jia Lian always confesses to himself with a sigh, and he has to be low-key and low-key.

But I didn't think about it, everything I did was high-profile, and I was still alive!

Could it be that he is really the illegitimate son of the emperor? Otherwise, it is really unreasonable!

When Sheng Jizong was sent away, Jia Lian was very worried.

He has always tried his best to avoid entering other people's small circles, and for this reason, he is ready to be a solitary minister, but until now, he has actually built a circle.

But he also knew that behind every step he took was the shadow of the emperor.

Otherwise, how could a cunning and cunning old man like Niu Kangzong have such a good relationship with him? Some words, such as what he just said, are not the closest relatives and nephews, and it is absolutely impossible to say half a word.

Jia analyzes and analyzes, and it seems that he is most likely to be a pawn of the emperor. It reminds us of the never-ending quarrel in the court recently. The emperor did so naturally. The math teacher told us that the triangle is the most stable.

Although Jia Lian's side seems to be very weak now, when Jia Lian returned to Rong'an Tang again, the old lady asked Jia Lian anxiously; "Quickly tell me what Jizong said?"

Jia Lian pondered for a moment, "I didn't say anything. I just said something about the kindness of the saints, and being careful."

The old lady sighed, how could she wait until now? It can be seen that Uncle Niu was just joking. But Jia Zhen persuaded: "Don't worry, old lady, Baoyu is so big, if anything happened, Jia Zheng should just sit on the chair and frown, "Baoyu took the jade off and gave it to me, and I will pick it up tomorrow." It was presented to the emperor. I just hope that for the sake of the loyalty of the Rongguo Mansion, it will not be held accountable.

The old lady said flatly: "No! If you go to the emperor tomorrow and ask why you didn't submit it before? Waiting for someone to tell you to do it will prove that there is a ghost in your heart."

Jia Zhen also said: "The old lady is right, let's keep quiet, just assume that there is no such thing, and we won't make any noise in the future, and the outside world will gradually forget about it."

Baoyu has been out to entertain guests many times before. Who doesn't praise him? The old man who came here today is really rude, and his shoulders still hurt. "I don't want this shit for a long time. Now you can give it to whoever you love!" "Sit on the couch angrily.

The old lady smiled and persuaded him; "Baoyu, you were born with it, it is your life!

The above said that there is no need to lose and forget, how can you discard it at will? Take it with you at home. If you go out, let the girls pick it up and put it away, and you must not throw it away. "

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Old lady, the key is not the jade, nor the person, but whether the jade is ineffective. Speaking of which, this jade is not only unintentional, but also harmful. It is better to serve as a substitute for Baoyu in front of the Buddha... old lady Annoyed: "What is a substitute? Baoyu is good not to be a substitute! When the time comes, I will find you to settle the account!"

It used to be the biggest pride in the family, but now that Niu Jizong broke it with a joke, he became uneasy.

Also funny!

Seeing that the old lady did not agree, Jia Lian only said: "The ancestors love Baoyu, and besides, I have a lot of things to do.

Baoyu became more and more annoyed as he listened, "It's all this broken stone that caused trouble, I'll smash it and it's all over!" As he spoke, he tore off the jade, and went up to the ground to hear a crisp sound, the piece of jade jumped.

The old lady immediately turned pale in shock, "You little friend, look for it, where did Yu go? Look for it!"

The daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law who were waiting in the house, searched for them one by one as if they had lost their souls.

There are also Mrs. Wang who heard the news, and Li Wan, sister of Feng, also joined them.

Instead, Jia Lian happily watched them looking for jade.

Like him, there is also Li Wanji, who quietly went out (of Jia's).

The two of them slipped out at the same time and entered the hall from the backyard one after the other.

Li Wan stopped, Jia Lian also stopped, Li Wan walked, Jia Lian also walked. Seeing Li Wan walking faster and faster, Jia Lian was still strolling in the courtyard, but his pace was a little big, and the two still kept a similar distance.

Just after passing through the hall, with no one left or right, Jia Caiken turned around and said, "Second Master Lian, what are you doing with me?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, we are all going back to the yard, we are on the same road!"

Li Wanshui's face flushed, and she said in annoyance, "Then you can't wait for a while? Do you have to be behind me?"

Jia Lian looked at her, white was her base color, her whole body was blue or blue, the color was cold, and there was very little red.However, the faint red cloud on her face and the red tassels on her shoes that were hidden under the skirt, and only occasionally showed her shoes, made people suddenly remember that she was just a young woman in her youth.

"Sister-in-law, shall I go ahead of you?"

Chapter [*] Jia Lian took a few steps one wave after another, just in line with Li Wan.

"Sister-in-law, why didn't you leave?"

Embarrassment flashed across Li Wan's face, "Didn't you say go first?"

Jia Lian smiled, Daozi, please!"

"Where, you are the elder sister-in-law, how dare the younger brother walk in front of you 2 elder sister-in-law Li Wan holds the handkerchief with both hands, the corners of her mouth want to speak, but she can't open it, her legs want to move forward, but she can't move." You are the one who wants to go, and you are the one who wants to leave, so I won't leave at all. "

Jia Lian cupped her hands and said, "I'd better ask the eldest sister-in-law to go first! The younger brother can attach the pouch tail."

Jia couldn't help laughing and said, "You're still a jinshi! What do I have to attach? I'm afraid we'll all attach to you in the future!"

Jia Lian shook his head: "I borrowed a sentence from my sister-in-law, what can I add to it? You haven't seen the old lady, the wife, and the family, what is it like?"

Li Wan walked with Jia Lian unknowingly, hesitantly said, "You mean that piece of jade 2"
