The Red Mansions

Chapter 272 Jia Amnesty: I'm going to kill you!

Honor Hall

Guided by Ping'er, Jia Heng stepped into the hall, met the gazes of all eyes, stood on the wool carpet, and rushed to the head of Jia Mu, who bowed her hands and saluted, saying hello, and then looked up. Daiyu, Tanchun, Yingchun, Xiangyun, Xichun and others nodded.

Mother Jia smiled all over her face, and said: "Brother Heng is back, Yuanyang, hurry up and move an embroidery pier for Brother Heng."

Jia Heng thanked the mandarin ducks, then sat down, and before Mother Jia could ask why Ke Qing and You Shi didn't come, she said softly, "Old lady, long time no see, how are you at home?"

Jia Mu said with a smile: "everything is fine at home. No, Baoyu's aunt has also gone to Beijing. The family is getting more and more lively. How can I hear that you have encountered something in Huayin County?"

Jia Heng said: "It coincided with the meeting, and we walked together for a while when we came back."

Aunt Xue took over the conversation with a smile and said: "Thanks to Brother Heng for escorting us, we slept peacefully along the way."

Jia Mu sighed: "In the past two years, the place has not been very peaceful."

Then, he turned his head to look at Jia Heng, and asked: "Just now your aunt said that bandits and bandits were rampant along the road. If they hadn't brought many servants with them, and they had been taken care of by the government along the road, I don't know how many twists and turns would have happened? What happened, did the imperial court not deal with it?"

Hearing this, Sister Feng, Li Wan, Tanchun, and Yingchun all turned their eyes to the young man in brocade robes and listened quietly.

Even Baochai turned her head to the side, and looked at the young man in brocade clothes with eyes full of water.

Jia Heng said: "In the past two years, natural disasters have continued and people's livelihoods have been difficult. In addition, tiger officials, tyrants and evil gentry have exploited and oppressed many people. I discussed this matter with Li Butang of the Ministry of War and other colleagues. Last month, the Ministry of War ordered the local capitals, prefectures and counties to speed up the suppression. Because the matter involved two capitals and 13 provinces, it was not published in the residence newspaper. The officers and soldiers of the brigade have arrived."

Aunt Xue looked at the young man talking eloquently across the way, smiled and said, "I met a lot of officers and soldiers on the road."

Jia Heng's face turned solemn, and he said seriously: "The imperial court also attaches great importance to the rampage of bandits. Fortunately, the corruption in the counties of Gyeonggi has been curbed a little."

Sister Feng Danfeng's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "If it wasn't for Brother Heng who led the army to fight outside, they wouldn't have settled down so quickly. Besides, wouldn't Brother Heng be in charge of big and small things in Shenjing City? I remember something last time , and was entrusted to the Wucheng Bingma Division."

When Jia Heng heard the words, he glanced at the beautiful young woman, he always felt that there was something in Sister Feng's words.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Brother Heng, you are in charge of the Wucheng soldiers and horses now, and you can take care of your aunt's family's business in Beijing."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I will."

The most taboo thing about this kind of thing is to guarantee the ticket. For the three members of the Xue family, there is one Xue with a big head, how many butts do you have to help wipe?
Because Jia Heng has always been indifferent, Jia's mother is used to it, so she doesn't doubt him.

Only Sister Feng looked at Jia Heng with a calm face, but she sighed softly in her heart.

That is to say, if her second master doesn't live up to expectations, she can't go out and get a part-time job, otherwise, she wouldn't make it so difficult.

Now, no one can be found again.

As for Aunt Xue as a guest, seeing that although Jia Heng's attitude was not very enthusiastic, she couldn't say much else, so she politely said: "I will have to trouble Brother Heng a lot in the future."

Jia Heng turned his head to look at Aunt Xue, and said in a concentrated voice: "Auntie is not too polite to relatives."

Aunt Xue nodded with a smile.

Jia's mother laughed again: "Brother Heng is being promoted this time, don't you celebrate it? It's better to have a lot of fun while your aunt and cousin are here."

Although Jia Heng was not very impressed with Jia's mansion's way of celebrating every wedding and funeral.

I remember when I watched a certain TV series back then, I always played "Qing Wen Ge".

But I also know that this is a relationship between human beings, and there will be some kind of entrance examination banquet in later generations.

"Let Sister Feng and the others watch over the arrangement."

Not far away, Baochai, who was sitting talking with Daiyu, Xiangyun and others, listened to the young man's words, with bright eyes of water and apricots, his face thoughtful.

In other words, he has become more and more familiar with Jia Heng's temperament.

His temperament is cold, and he doesn't seem to like the excitement and ostentation.

At this time, a maid brought out plates of tangerines, Baoyu took one, and with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and handed it to Baochai, saying softly, "Sister Bao, here it is."

Baochai had a snow-white face like a pear, with a bright smile, and she declined politely, "Thank you Brother Bao, it's cold, and the oranges are too cold."

Seeing that she was declined politely, Baoyu didn't care too much. She picked up the tangerine in her hand and handed it to Tanchun who was beside her.

Tanchun said thanks and took it, peeled off the orange peel, divided it into several petals, and planned to share the food with Xichun and Yingchun beside him.

Baoyu took another big tangerine and handed it to Daiyu, and said with a chuckle, "Sister Lin, eat an orange."

Under Dai Yu's smoky eyebrows, the autumn water fluctuated, she chuckled softly, and said softly, "Second Brother Bao thinks I'm not afraid of the cold anymore?"

When Lin Dang went online, the smile on Baoyu's face froze. For a while, he held the tangerine in his hand, but he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Xiangyun snatched the orange from Baoyu's hand with a smile, and said: "Sister Bao and Sister Lin are afraid of the cold, but I am not afraid. I am worried that there will be no fruit to satisfy my hunger in winter."

Baoyu looked at the delicate and innocent Xiangyun, and his originally gloomy and depressed mood suddenly became bright and joyful.

Xiangyun peeled the orange, and didn't shy away from anything. The little girl picked up an orange petal and stuffed it into her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes bent into crescent moons, and she even glanced at Baochai and Daiyu who smiled and said nothing.

Jia Mu ordered the mandarin ducks to set the meal, and then saw the people who were sharing the oranges, and said with a smile: "These tangerines are from the south as a tribute, you all come and taste."

Saying that, several maidservants came over with plates containing tangerines and brought them to Jiamu first. Jiamu said with a smile: "I won't eat any more, let them share it, and give it to my aunt too."

The maid brought it to Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue took one with a smile, and said, "Old lady, it looks bigger than the one in Jinling."

Jia Mu said with a smile: "This is originally a thing from the Southern Province. Although it is a common thing in the Southern Province, I don't know how much effort I spent traveling all the way to Beijing. It was originally a tribute to the palace. After entering the palace to greet the Empress Dowager, the wives have just divided up a few boxes."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "This is precious and rare."

The secret path, that is, such a duke's family, can eat all the seasonal melons and fruits in the southern province.

On the other side, the servant girl brought a plate and delivered it to Jia Heng. Jia Heng also took one, but did not peel it off.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "I'll just eat one for Ping'er. It's sweet and sour. I'm not used to it."

During the conversation, it was distributed in a circle.

At that time, I heard a woman enter the house and said: "Old lady, madam, the master has met the young master, and said that the concubine is old, and the nephew is young and does not know about general affairs. There are ten people in the Lixiangyuan on the northeast corner. If the room is empty, it is also idle, so you might as well let the concubine and the young master live in it."

When Aunt Xue heard the words, she was both surprised and happy, but she said modestly: "This... how can I bother you?"

Mother Jia took Aunt Xue's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "The whole family doesn't talk about each other. You stay in Lixiangyuan, and you often come to talk and laugh to relieve boredom. Our mother and I are also closer and more lively."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Sister Feng also persuaded with a smile, "Our relatives in Beijing are all on Ningrong Street, and it's cheap to walk around."

At this time, Mrs. Wang didn't say much, but kept silent, but this move was exactly what she wanted.

Aunt Xue seemed to hesitate for a while, then she was a little embarrassed to respond, and said: "The old lady's kindness, I don't want to let you down, but I have something to say, all the daily expenses are free, that's the way of life."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "That's all small things, I know your family doesn't lack these things."

As he said, he turned to look at Sister Feng: "Miss Feng, you order someone to clean it up first and tidy it up."

Sister Feng smiled and told Zhou Rui's family to take someone to help clean up.

Therefore, the matter of the Xue family living in Lixiangyuan was settled.

Jia Heng watched this scene silently, and couldn't help but secretly sighed at the inertia of fate.

After all, the three members of the Xue family still lived in Lixiangyuan. In fact, he also knew that this courtyard was located in the northeast corner of Rongfu, separated from Ningfu by a narrow road.

After the three members of Xue's family settled down, Jia's mother smiled more and more, and said, "Yuanyang, hurry up and let the back kitchen prepare the meal. I'm thinking that my aunt, Baochai, and Brother Heng are also hungry."

When everyone heard this, they laughed again.

The conversation was divided into two parts, and only said that Xue Pan was going to visit Jia Lian, but because he was in Rongfu, he happened to meet Jia Zheng on the way, who was working in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, so he had to meet Jia Zheng first.

However, he was led by Jia Zheng to Mengpo Zhai, where he was instructed like a mantra.

It was also because of Xue Pan's fatal disaster in Jinling Mansion. Jia Zheng was worried that Xue Pan would cause trouble in Beijing again, so he ordered people to go to Rongqingtang to let the three members of Xue's family live in Lixiangyuan, thinking that under his nose, they might be able to rule Let's take a look at the willful Xue Pan.

In Mengpo Zhai——

Jia Zheng twirled his beard with his hands, and said seriously: "Wenlong, you still need to study more if you are admitted to Beijing Middle School. Recently, your cousin has established a new ethnology school, and the lecturers in it are all highly moral and knowledgeable people, waiting for you After settling down in the past few days, I will study in the ethnology."

Being told by Jia Zheng, Xue Pan was already sitting on pins and needles, with a "sincere" smile on his head, he patted his chest and said, "Uncle, don't worry, after I rest for a few days, I will go to the ethnology school to study and practice martial arts. , if nothing else, I'll go find Lian's second brother first."

Xindao, first got acquainted with the little lady in the Goulan of Shenjing City, and then talked about the ethnology, but I am not familiar with the way, first go to my second elder brother, Lian, to lead the way.

Seeing that Xue Pan said yes, Jia Zheng frowned, but he couldn't say anything for a while, so he waved his hands and said, "Go ahead."

Xue Pan got up and went as if he had been pardoned.

Under the guidance of the young man, he went to look for Jia Lian, but he heard the young man say, "Second Master Lian went to Ping'an Prefecture and just came back the other day. He may be in the manor's courtyard now."

Xue Pan laughed and said, "I'm going to visit, it's a coincidence, isn't it?"

While talking, led the way by the young man, he went out of the west corner gate and looked at Jia She's courtyard. Since Jia She's residence is a small and unique courtyard separated from the garden in the Rong Mansion, the journey is not far away.

Xue Pan stepped into the mansion, had just passed the Yimen Gate, and was walking along the Chaoshou verandah towards the Moon Gate, when he suddenly heard "Killer!"

The woman's scream was high-pitched and sharp, followed by a roar like thunder, full of overwhelming anger.

"Bastard! Slut! I'm going to kill you! Ah..."

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, his big copper bell-like eyes widened, he felt his heart skip a beat, and thought to himself, Damn, who is so flirtatious?
Suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, and he saw a disheveled young man running out from the shadow wall.

Not Jia Lian, or who?
With disheveled clothes and blood dripping from his forehead, Jia Lian ran out of the house in a panic.

A handsome face was already as pale as snow, the body was trembling, and in a blink of an eye, he had run up to Xue Pan, did not listen to Xue Pan's call, and ran past Xue Pan like a gust of wind.

Let's go back in time a little bit.

Because before the winter moon, Jia Lian was sent by Jia She to Ping'an Prefecture on an urgent errand, which lasted more than half a month and only returned home the day before yesterday. Because he spent most of the time on the road, he was already angry.

In the middle of noon, Jia She received a post from the Beijing Prince's Mansion, saying that he had invited Liu Fang, Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang and others to have a drink together, and Jia She readily agreed.

According to Jia Amnesty's habit, if he doesn't drink and enjoy music until evening, he will not come back.

Now Jia Lian had a free time and slipped into Jia She's backyard to find Yan Hong's friends.

In fact, having an affair during the day is safer, because Jia She will probably come back at night, which is not safe.

But Jia Amnesty had just arrived at the street where Prince Jing's Mansion is located, and suddenly thought of a gold and stone seal from the Song Dynasty that he had bought the day before yesterday, and an official kiln porcelain from Jingdezhen in the Ming Dynasty. Liu Fang and others hold palm eyes, which can be regarded as talking points when drinking.

Worried that the servant didn't know the severity and would be damaged by bumps again, he ordered the chariots and horses to come back and pick them up in person.

But it was said that Jia Amnesty brought a few servants to the Heichaomen's mansion, and was about to go to the study, when he saw someone dozing off on the railing of the veranda leading to the Yanhong courtyard, walked up to him, and said solemnly "Why are you dozing off, where is Lian'er?"

Xing'er shuddered, when he saw Jia She, his face turned pale, he lost his mind for a while, and walked away.

Jia Amnesty became suspicious, and shouted heavily: "Come on, catch him!"

Immediately, several servants held down Xing'er and knocked him to the ground.

"If you run away when you see me, you must have a ghost in your heart!" Jia She said coldly, "Say it!"

"Master, I..." Xing'er faltered, but dared not answer.

Jia She's complexion changed slightly, and he walked quickly towards the small courtyard where Yan Hong was, bypassing a rockery, walking along the corridor, before the wing rooms were exhausted, he could hear men and women laughing.

Jia She took a light step, approached as close as possible, and pressed against the window, his face gradually darkened.

There were extremely familiar male and female voices, as well as the familiar... Huanhao panting.

……

……

As well as unbearable obscene words and laughter.

After hearing a few words, Jia Amnesty's complexion was red and white, and he felt an evil fire hitting his forehead, his eyes were scarlet, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

He walked quickly to the closed door, kicked the door open, and shouted angrily, "What a beast!"

The two of them, who were tossing up and down in the room, didn't know what the sky and the earth were, screamed out, almost frightened out of their wits.

Jia Amnesty entered the room, looked at the disheveled men and women on the bed, roared angrily, couldn't hold anything at hand for a while, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it, hitting Jia Lian on the forehead, only heard a "click", Blood flowed.

Jia Lian was "anxious" and did not take advantage of the clothes, which was revealed in an instant. He let go of the handlebar, endured the severe pain in his head, picked up the clothes on the side, and rushed out.

"Bastard! Bitch! I'm going to kill you!"

Jia She roared angrily, stepped forward and slapped Yan Hong first, then out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the town house sword hanging on the wall, took it, and was about to stab Yan Hong.

Yan Hong obviously woke up too, picked up the quilt and threw it at Jia She's face, she didn't care about being naked, she got out of bed and ran, shouting as she ran, "Killed, killed."

Jia She fell on the quilt and chased and killed the two with a sword. He was so angry that he almost lost his mind and cursed, "You bastard, bitch! I'm going to kill you! Ah..."
