The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Jia Lian sighed, "In that case, Feng'er, you help Brother Rong to take care of the internal affairs, and I will handle the external affairs!"

Just now, Sister Feng pushed Jia Lian's hand, walked to the steps in front of the hall, and shouted, "Where is the manager?"

There was no answer for a long time. Jia Lian asked the ten confidants who followed him to list them on the left and right with sticks: "Within ten breaths, the heavy responsibility is forty! Brother Zhen is gone, I was thinking of you. Some of them are going to accompany him!"

So Lai Sheng went to work together and stood at the foot of the steps respectfully. Sister Feng punished at will, "You lead forty people to go and make tea and prepare meals alone, and you lead forty people to add incense and oil in front of the spirit alone, hang a curtain to guard the spirit, Serve food and tea, and express your condolences at the same time, you will lead ten people, 10 cups, saucers, tea utensils, wine and rice utensils, you will lead ten people, 10 single tubes of lamp oil, candles, and paper everywhere.”

And you lead thirty 30s to spend the night in various places every day, taking care of the door, watching the candles, and cleaning the place."

After speaking, he ordered to prepare all the things, handed them in, and registered with a pen. Everyone was on duty, so he was busy but not in a hurry. Jia Lian instructed to invite Qin Tianjian to choose a day, and also asked the monks and Dao Dao to do good things in the dojo, and gradually arrived. Tianming. The successor of the Ning Mansion passed away. All the lords, relatives and friends came to offer condolences. Jia Lian came and went to greet him, but he was also overwhelmed. It was too late at night, and Sister Feng couldn't bear to stay up late. Jia Lian ordered Ping'er Su'er to go back to rest. Zhen turned away a stack of paper money and looked at the ashes, but said to Jia Rong in a cold voice: "I didn't ask carefully yesterday, why didn't Brother Zhen ask you to explain it truthfully! It's too late, what are you going to do in Tianxianglou?"

Jia Rong's tears still lingered, "Second Uncle Lian, the one who stumbled and fell!"

"shut up!"

Jia Lian asked: "There are only the two of us here. Please tell me carefully, is it related to you?"

Jia Rong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Second uncle, no matter how courageous your nephew is, how could he possibly make a move?"

Jia Lian warned: "Tomorrow, the court will come to offer condolences. It is a major matter of whether you are the title holder. If you have any secrets, you can tell me now, otherwise, once it reaches the ears of the court, there will be a catastrophe in an instant!"

Jia Rong hesitated. Jia Lian scolded: "Speak!"

Jia Rong just whispered: "Second uncle, nephew, tell you the truth, last night my father was with the Hu family. According to her, when the two of them got upstairs, my father shouted and stepped back. When he stepped on the air, he fell down. Before he died, he kept thinking of Jiao Da. My nephew thought, it should be Jiao Da who came to ask for his life!"

Jia Lian's face was gloomy, "That Hu family"

"Second uncle, she told me everything, and she was also forced. Now she has a miscarriage and has suffered from blood conjunctivitis. I have to talk about whether she can survive it or not. Now that the matter has come, I don't plan to pursue it."

Jia Lian's eyes gradually softened, and he patted his shoulder, "Boy, you still have some conscience. In the future, Ning Guofu will point you to take responsibility, and take your father as a warning!"

Jia Rong calmed down at this moment, and said to Jia Lian sincerely: "Second uncle, my nephew now has no father and no mother, only one grandfather asks immortals and does not care about common things, and he is young and ignorant, and everything will depend on the second uncle in the future. Point out assignments."

Jia Lian comforted: "Everything will be fine."

Jia Rong knelt down in front of Jia Lian again, "Second uncle, you are only going to be one more son. You tell me to go east, and I will never go west. In the huge Ningguo Mansion, I would rather give half of it to my uncle."

Jia Lian said angrily: "You are also playing tricks on me,,,,! I am reluctant to give up the Rongguo Mansion, and I want your Ningguo Mansion"

Jia Rong hurriedly kowtowed, "Second uncle, nephew is wrong. In the future, Ningguo Mansion will also need your second uncle to take care of you. My nephew is an expert in spending money, but he is really not good at business. Several properties in the Ningguo government are entrusted to the second uncle, just to follow the previous example."

That is to say, renting, he only takes the money and does not care about the operation. As expected, there are two. Jia Lian calmed down and pointed at him and scolded: "This is in front of Brother Zhen, if you say that again, I will I'll teach you a lesson for Brother Jane! Okay, I'm right what you said, but it's only for three years. After three years, you should also learn how to manage the house."

Jia Rong respectfully kowtowed, "Thank you, Uncle Er."

The uncle and nephew were gossiping for a while, and Yindie came to spread the word that You Shi invited them to come over. Jia Lian shook his head and said, "It's too late, I have something to do. Just explain it to Fenger tomorrow."

"Second Master Chain"

You shi sat on the table and asked the girl to come over. Seeing her pale face, Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward with Jia Rong, "Sister-in-law, you are still weak, you need to take good care of you. The root of the disease that fell from the moon, let the queen It will never be better."

With a smile on the corner of You Shi's mouth, she passed away in a flash, with a sad face on her face, "Your brother Jane is gone, what else do I have to do with my life?"

"Sister in law condolences!"

Jia Liandao. You Shi said sadly: "You guys can rest, I want to guard him."

Jia Lian refused: "It's windy at night, sister-in-law, please come back. Brother Rong and I will do the guarding."

Then he told Yindie, "Send your grandma back!"

There was no doubt in his tone. You looked at Jia Lian fiercely, and went back with a sigh. Jia Lian Jia Rong sent him a while before turning back. Suddenly he heard a few old ladies drinking and playing cards in the corner booth. "You said that the uncle died. I don’t understand, will anyone harm anyone?”

"What's the harm or not, who doesn't know about the uncle's ashes"

"I also heard that Uncle Shang was originally with Grandma Xiao Rong last night."

"Why did you hear that you bumped into Jiao Da's soul!"

"How did Jiao Da die, we don't know yet"

"You said, what Jiao Da said, who is raising the uncle?"

"Grandma"

"Grandma Xiaorong"

"How about you guessing!"

Jia Rong was so angry that he was about to catch up to teach him a lesson. Jia Lian immediately pulled him back and told him not to make a sound. "Let's go through like this, I'm afraid even we will be arranged in."

Jia Rong asked, "What should I do?"

Let it go on like this, Ning Guofu's reputation is really bad. It's a shame I can't hold my head up for several lifetimes. Jia Lian asked, "I asked you to pick up your grandfather today, why didn't you come back?"

Jia Rong sighed, "Grandpa only said that he will come back to burn incense on the day of the funeral."

Jia Lian said: "Invite your grandfather back tomorrow and explain why. If he doesn't do it, then I can only do it!"

Since you have moved your hand once, you are not afraid of the second time. Recommended

Chapter [*] Everyone who should be back will be back until dawn, Jia Rong went to invite Jia Jing back to Ning Mansion. But Jia Jing didn't come back until night came. The thin face was expressionless, and there was no immortal spirit under the loose robe. The gray beard trembled, and he walked to Jia Zhenling and was silent for a long time. Jia stepped forward and saluted, "Uncle! Brother Zhen's sudden incident is really embarrassing."

Jia Jing sighed: "Everyone has their own destiny, and you can't force it. I also saw it. It's just that this beast, if something like this happens, it will even implicate me!"

He pointed at Jia Zhen, and there were tears in his eyes. So Jia Lian helped him sit down in the next room: Jia Jing said, "Brother Rong has already told me. But I am an outsider, and the world has nothing to do with me. .Only come back to die."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "What uncle said is very true. I am an outsider in the matter of Ning Mansion, and it has nothing to do with me. After paying homage to Brother Zhen, I will send my uncle back to Xuan Zhen Guan, and I will return to my garden. Let Brother Rong toss here!"

Jia Jing's beard is still there: jumping. Jia Rong saw that the two of them were about to give up their sons, and knelt down in a hurry, "Grandpa, if you don't care, then the grandson will also go to the monkhood. We don't want Ning Guofu anymore."

"Little beast, how dare you!"

Jia Jing blew his beard and stared at him. It was obvious that he was outside the sky, his heart was in the world, and he had been practicing Taoism for many years, but this obsession still remained: lingering. Speaking of which, it was a last resort when he became a monk. In three or five years, 35 kung fu will not come back. He sighed, as if he was still the same... young Ning Fu Junyan, but he was a little bit vicissitudes.

Jia Rong immediately went to do it. After a while, four or five women knelt down. Only Jia Jing asked, "What did you guys say last night?"

An old woman hurriedly replied: "In the words of the master, we only have a drink together and don't say anything!"

The other wives agreed: "Yes, yes, we only talk about things at the poker table."

Jia Jing put his hands in his sleeves, "pull them all down and hit [*] big boards, one person who is reported loses [*] boards, and the accused person gets [*] more boards."

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot! Those old women refused to say at first. When they were pressed on the bench and were about to be beaten, they all cried and called their mothers. The people who were reported were brought here. After a while, the whole room was full. Jia Lian just watched and didn't say a word. Jia Jing said to a woman: "It seems that everything is yours. spread"

The old woman Xu knew it was inevitable, and said stubbornly: "They are capable of being uncles and grandmothers, and they won't let others say."

Jia Jing still squinted his eyes and whispered a slogan before saying, "Since that's the case, I can't convict you. You go down and see Brother Zhen and talk to him!"

The old woman's face changed greatly, and she shouted, "The maid knows I'm wrong! Please forgive me!"

Jia Jing said: "God has the virtue of good life, if you forgive me, I will naturally forgive me!"

The old woman was so panicked that she was crawling and biting around, but it didn't work. Jia Lian reminded her, "You told everything about Jane, which makes him restless. Be careful that he will come to you at night!"

The old woman hurriedly kowtowed and thumped on the floor, "Master, it's because I ate too much wine and said nonsense. The family was fine, and there was nothing like that. It's my mouth that owes it, in fact, there is no real evidence, it's all nonsense! Lord, it's me!"

She left and right: slapped herself dozens of times, and both cheeks were red and swollen. Jia Jing still squinted. "Take it and lock it up!"

The family members on both sides pulled her out, and she was still begging for mercy while struggling, "Master, you forgive me, I'm really talking nonsense!"

Gradually, the voice became quieter. These people in the room looked at each other, and when they were feeling uneasy, a person came in outside, but it was the one who had just escorted the old woman out, knelt down and reported: "Master, just now the old woman broke free from our Hand, jumped out of the well!"

Ah! Jia Lian stood up in shock. How could he not understand the truth? It was just that he was too naive and weak. Today, Uncle Jing really taught him a lesson. When your heart is hard, you should be like iron. Be taught! If you had met Uncle Jing earlier, it would have been so simple. Jia Lian bowed his hands to Jia Jing. So all the people in the room knelt down and kowtowed in panic. Jia Jing was unmoved. He opened his eyes and said, "Thirty board games. If there's any nonsense, send her to serve Brother Zhen. He doesn't think there are too many people there."

This time, no one dared to beg for mercy. Soon, there was a burst of screams from the back hall. It spread far in the night. The news here was reported to the Rong Mansion, and someone reported it to the old lady. The master came back and beat the old woman who spread rumors over there. I heard that a woman has jumped out of the well."

The old lady didn't speak for a long time, "If he came back earlier and took care of Brother Zhen, how could it be so troublesome, since he is back, we don't have to worry about it. Since he is in charge, I can rest assured. ."

Not to mention about those wives, in the wing, Jia Jing turned to look at Jia Lian and smiled lightly, "I heard that you are a three-tailed jinshi"

Jia Lian bowed and replied, "In front of Uncle Erjia No. [*], it's just a joke."

Jia Jing shook his head, "Although I got a jinshi, it's useless to my family. From now on, if we want to revive, it's up to you."

Jia Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, you look at me too highly. Now I'm in a vortex, and I can't move on my own. If I don't involve my family, I'm worthy of my ancestors."

Jia Jingxu smiled and said: "Those who are not hated by others are mediocre talents. You are only twenty, you are already a first-class prince, and you have built a huge garden in Beijuxianfang, and you can see so many princes and princes in Beijing. My son, there is no one who can compare with you. Don’t belittle yourself. You are already standing on the top and attracting attention, no matter how you hide it, you can’t hide it from the attention of those who care. Just like just now, if you are weaker, things will get out of hand. .But you just have to be tough and some things will work out."

Jia Lian became more and more respectful, "Uncle, nephew only now know that the wisest uncle in our family is none other than the wisest uncle in our family. Right now, the Ning Mansion and even the Rong Mansion seem to be calm, but I don't know when it will be in crisis. , My nephew is in a panic, I'm afraid that I will be caught off guard and make mistakes."

Jia Jing smiled and said, "If Brother Zhen was like you are now, I would be willing to die. It's just that, I've already made a taboo by telling you so much."

As he said this, he also laughed at himself: "Fortunately, Brother Zhen is not as good as you, and now it's a decent death, it's not the worst time I imagined."

Jia Lian became more and more confused and asked, "Uncle, what happened back then, how did you become a monk?"

Jia Jing interrupted him and said, "The past has passed away, and your father knows a lot about it, but he will not tell you what he is like now. Son, since the emperor uses you so much, don't think about him, and you won't do it with your whole heart. Wrong. Just, you have to be careful"

He glanced at the northwest side, and then read: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate!"

He was thinking about the Taiji Palace in the northwest, which was not the Emperor Taishang, when Jia Jing instructed Jia Rong: "From now on, you have to listen to your second uncle Lian, and take care of your father. I asked him to make decisions about big and small matters, and don't bother me again."

Jia Rong respectfully knelt in front of Jia Lian, "Uncle!"

Jia Lian hurriedly helped him up. At the same time, in Yangzhou, far away in the south of the Yangtze River, in the palace of the imperial censor, the eunuch who came from the palace handed over the imperial decree to Lin Ruhai, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, sir, for being promoted to Dali Temple Chancellor. !"

Lin Ruhai is back in Beijing!

Chapter [*] He can manage himself Lin Ruhai immediately after receiving the decree, the boat arrives in Huai'an, and there are eunuchs waiting for the decree. Lin Ruhai hurriedly burns incense and kneels. Lin Ruhai was at peace in the capital, and humbly thanked everyone for the banquet. So he boarded the boat again. After a few days, he arrived at the Eastern Capital. At the station, he changed carriages and horses. , "Lord Lin, our family has been waiting for a long time!"

Lin Ruhai bowed his hands without being humble or arrogant: "I have father-in-law, I don't know what father-in-law has to teach."

Dai Quan smiled and took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve, "Lord Lin, take the order!"

Lin Ruhai lifted his clothes and knelt down. At the beginning, he wrote a couple of words to describe Lin Ruhai's achievements, and then "promote Dali Temple Minister, don't let me down! Appreciate this!"

Dai Quan delivered the imperial decree and said with a smile: "Lord Lin has not yet entered the capital, and he has issued three imperial decrees in a row. It is really a holy favor, and it is very comparable to people!"

Lin Ruhai held the imperial decree in both hands, feeling that it was extremely important, "The holy family is like this, how can you not do your best and die?"

Dai Quan smiled kindly, "Our family has served the emperor for decades, and we have seen many. But like Lord Lin, it is unique, which shows that the emperor is so earnest. Lord Lin, don't live up to the emperor's expectations!"

Lin Ruhai bowed his hands in the direction of Shenjing, "Your Majesty's grace, if you die, you can't repay it!"

After saying that, we continued on the road. Jia Lian told Daiyu about the news of Shenjing and Lin Ruhai's coming to Beijing early in the morning. Daiyu was overjoyed and was going to pick her up immediately! Jia Lian naturally prepared the carriage, took her out of the city in person, and waited at the crossing. Daiyu opened the curtain and said narrowly, "Brother, get in the car, I have something to say."

Jia Lian pretended to be reserved and shook his head, "Uncle Lin is about to arrive. If he knows that you and I are in the car, he won't cut me into eight pieces."

Daiyu spat: "Bah! If you don't come up, you won't be in the future."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Lian had already dismounted, jumped into the carriage and got in, sitting next to Daiyu intimately. "Why don't you be afraid now?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "If you can't compare Yu'er, what's the big deal?"
