[Red Mansion] Master Jia Dadi

Spring House.

"Have you heard?"

"Is that what you're talking about?"

"what's up?"

"You don't know yet? It's about the son of Jia Shilang who caused a commotion in the capital a few days ago. I heard that he is going to pay homage to Mr. Liu."

"That old Mr. Liu?!"

"That's right, how many old Mr. Liu can there be in the capital!"

"Hey, then Jia Shilang's son must be very knowledgeable, right?"

"..., I heard that a few months ago, even the "Li Weng Conversation" was difficult to memorize."

"That Young Master Jia Shilang is really courageous. The grandsons of the two prime ministers can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics back and forth, but they failed to worship Mr. Liu. How dare he go?"

"Exactly."

Although the crackling sounds on the first floor were slight, they were clearly heard by Jia Amnesty.

Linda asked with some concern: "Master, do you want to find out who spread the news?"

Jia Amnesty waved his hand: "No need, the only ones who know about this are people in our family, either the old lady or the second daughter-in-law."

"Then how should we deal with it?" Linda asked in a low voice, with a look of cruelty in his eyes.

"That's it," Jia Amnesty took a sip of tea, "They say that you should be famous as soon as possible, and take this opportunity, so that Lian'er can also gain fame."

He has taught Jia Lian for so long, so he is sure of his current knowledge. He has already investigated Mr. Liu. If there is no accident, it will not be difficult for Jia Lian to worship Mr. Liu.

That Liu Qiuzhi has a bad temper and doesn't take hard things, but he has always had a discerning eye to recognize talents, and he is really a virtuous person.

Liu House.

Xu Jingshuo, Liu Qiuzhi's big apprentice, who is currently a member of the Ministry of Justice, Xu Jingshuo, couldn't help looking at Liu Qiuzhi who was sitting at the head.

Liu Qiuzhi didn't seem to be aware of it, holding the teacup and gently brushing off the tea foam on it with the tea lid.

"Teacher!" Xu Jingshuo couldn't help but shouted.

Liu Qiuzhi rolled his eyelids and glanced at him lazily, "What's the matter?"

"Could it be possible that the teacher doesn't know what's going on in Beijing recently?" Xu Jingshuo asked deliberately, he didn't believe that the teacher who was more gossip than him would not know about it.

Liu Qiuzhi coughed, "I've been studying hard for my teacher these days, so I don't have time to focus on other things."

Liu Xiuyuan, Liu Qiuzhi's son, nodded slightly, as if to express his agreement, but he began to complain about his father in his heart, who asked him to search for information about Jia Lian since yesterday, obviously very curious!

"Is that so?" The corners of Xu Jingshuo's mouth twitched, "Since that's the case, the students originally thought that if the teacher was interested, they would tell the teacher about their family affairs. Now it seems that the students are thinking too much."

"Cough, cough, cough." Liu Qiuzhi almost choked, and glared at Xu Jingshuo angrily. This apprentice has become more and more cunning after entering the punishment department.

Brat, if you dare not say it, believe it or not, I will take off my shoes and slap your face!

Xu Jingshuo felt the deep "teacher's love" from his master, and instantly took his thoughts of procrastinating for a while to the bottom, cleared his throat, and narrated what happened these days. His knowledge is profound, and he said The story was full of ups and downs, and the story was moving, and it made people overwhelmed. When Jia Amnesty got back the money from various families by making glass, his face flushed red.

"Okay!" Liu Qiuzhi jumped up, his eyes were piercing, what is a gentleman!This is the gentleman!What is virtue!This is virtue!

Liu Qiuzhi's applause startled Liu Xiuyuan who was still immersed in the story Xu Jingshuo told.

Before Liu Xiuyuan calmed down, he saw his father walking out.

"Hey, dad, where are you going?" Liu Xiuyuan asked quickly.

"I'm going to pay homage to Jia Shilang!" Liu Qiuzhi left such a sentence and walked out.

Liu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, quickly caught up with his father, and stopped his father from going out, "Father, you can't go!"

"Why?" Liu Qiuzhi blew his beard and stared at Liu Xiuyuan.

Liu Xiuyuan knew that Jia Shilang was about the same age as him, and he didn't want to have multiple uncles come out for no reason, so he quickly gave the culprit "Xu Jingshuo" a look of 'help me'.

Xu Jingshuo came to his senses, and like Liu Xiuyuan, he didn't want to have many uncles who were younger than him, "Master, it seems a bit reckless for you to go to worship Jia Shilang like this. We know that Master is a man of temperament, but Jia Shilang doesn't know, this will inevitably give Jia Shilang a bad impression, how about this, Jia Shilang's son will come to visit his teacher in a few days, and if he succeeds at that time, the master has his own reasons to get closer to Jia Shilang , if it doesn't work, that's okay, take this opportunity, Master also has a reason to get close to Jia Shilang."

Liu Qiuzhi hesitated for a while after hearing what his apprentice said, and Liu Xiuyuan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Father, it's just a few days anyway, why don't you get to know Jia Shilang more in these days."

Liu Qiuzhi reluctantly nodded.

Forget it, he just waited a few days patiently.

"He, Jia Amnesty, has a good idea!" Prince Gong Tufeng sneered after hearing his subordinate's reply, and threw the book in his hand on the table.

Qing Ke at the side echoed: "That's not true, my lord, I heard that Jia Lian was ignorant. He used to be just a master who skipped class to fight crickets. Now the whole capital is spreading this story, and he will be rejected by Mr. Liu." , their Rongguo Mansion's face will be disgraced."

Hearing these words, Prince Gong felt much more at ease in his heart, but when he thought of Jia She's hiding his power and biding his time before, his brows suddenly frowned, "Tell me, would Jia She's son also deliberately hide it like his father?" What is your own ability?" Once bitten by a snake, and ten years afraid of well ropes, last time they all thought that Jia She and Qin Jianshen would definitely not be able to complete the task, but they didn't expect Jia She to hide such a trick.

The Qing Ke paused, frowned, and whispered in Prince Gong's ear for a while.

The smile on Prince Gong's face became wider and wider, and he glanced at Qing Ke approvingly, "Okay, let's do it like this!" If you can take this opportunity to make Jia Amnesty faceless, why not do it!

"Ah!" Jia Amnesty rubbed his nose, he sneezed several times this day, who is talking about him?

"Father, what is this?" Liu Xiuyuan saw his father frowning and looking at the two boxes on the desk early in the morning. There was a post on the box. Judging from the texture and fragrance of the post, it must not be the person who posted the post. Wait for others.

"It's from Prince Gong and Prince Yu's residence." Liu Qiuzhi said while twisting his beard and frowning.

"Prince Gong, Prince Yu?" Liu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, what are these two princes doing here when they have nothing to do?Wait a minute, Liu Xiuyuan suddenly remembered that these two princes seemed to be at odds with Jia Shilang, could it be these gifts?

Liu Qiuzhi twirled his beard and nodded, indicating that what Liu Xiuyuan was thinking was the truth.

"Father, what about us?" After Liu Xiuyuan figured it out, he looked a little flustered, this matter is really tricky, it's not okay to agree, and it's not okay not to agree.If you agree, your conscience won’t go away; if you don’t agree, there will be Prince Yu and Prince Gong under the saint’s knees. In the future, after the saint returns to the west for a hundred years, that position will be one of the two. If you give them shame this time, you will suffer in the future After eating, although Liu Xiuyuan grew up familiar with Confucianism since he was a child, he would not naively think that the superior person has a broad mind.

"Sneakily return these two gifts." Compared with Liu Xiuyuan, Liu Qiuzhi was less flustered, "You will not be rewarded for nothing."

After Liu Qiuzhi left these words, he walked out with his head held high.

Liu Xiuyuan was very distressed, scratched his hair, but had no choice but to send his servants to secretly return the gift. His father is a great Confucian, although he did not enter an official position, but he is famous all over the world, so the two of them should not be angry because of it. ?

"The gift has been returned?" Prince Gong frowned and looked at the butler.

Sweat broke out on the butler's forehead: "Yes, my lord."

"What a Liu Qiuzhi! You really have a bad temper!" Prince Gong smiled instead of anger, the butler looked at Prince Gong in astonishment, wondering why their princes laughed when the gift was returned?

Prince Gong waved his hand and signaled the housekeeper to go out, and then he laughed loudly. His post was not to threaten Liu Qiuzhi not to accept Jia Lian, but to force Liu Qiuzhi to accept Jia Lian. Copper pea, you can't go along, pull back, he is doing the opposite, just to make that Liu Qiuzhi hate Jia Lian, so that even if Jia Lian is really capable, Liu Qiuzhi will not accept him then down him.

At the same time, in Prince Yu's mansion, Prince Yu just took a look at the gift that was sent back, the corners of his lips curled up, and he exchanged glances with his aides, this plan has already taken effect!Just wait for Jia She and his son to be disgraced!

Inside Liu's mansion, Liu Qiuzhi was holding a volume of "The Analects of Confucius", with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, one or two of them thought that Liu Qiuzhi was a marionette, and they could do whatever they wanted?He, Liu Qiuzhi, has been silent for a long time, and it is time for these two masters to show the integrity of the literati. If the loyal old prince was still there, how could these two have a chance? !

"Coo coo coo", a snow-white pigeon suddenly flew into the window and stopped on the pen holder on the desk. Its eyes the size of mung beans rolled round and round, and a piece of paper was tied under its feet.

Liu Qiuzhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up from the chair, as if he had seen a ghost, quickly stretched out his hand and peeled off the paper from the pigeon's feet.

There is only one word on the note: "Take."

Liu Qiuzhi's expression changed a lot, sometimes he seemed happy, sometimes he seemed worried. He kept pacing back and forth in the room, and the candle hadn't been extinguished until the next morning.
