The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

The cool wind of midsummer couldn't blow into Mrs. Wang's heart. By coincidence, she heard that Yingchun was keeping Liu Xianglian's sword, so Mrs. Wang figured out a way that Yingchun could not "pass on the family line" to Rongguo Mansion.

In the midst of the chirping of summer insects that night, Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Zheng had gone to Aunt Zhou's place, so she called Qin Xian's family, and said to Qin Xian's family: "Tomorrow, let's say at the house that the girl next door is the same as before." Liu Xianglian, who is staying at Rongguo Mansion, has an affair."

Qin Xian's family had tall crutches and big eyes. When Mrs. Xing was in Rongguo Mansion, she followed the lead of Wang Shanbao's family. She was a bit quiet in recent years, and she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would not reuse her. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang sent away all the servants from other families, but left her family alone, and hurriedly said: "Madam, who would believe the words out of thin air?"

"You said you heard it from your niece, don't you just have it?"

Qin Xianjia smiled embarrassingly.

"Don't you still think that your niece will take your family to Rongxi Hall?"

Qin Xian's family hurriedly said: "Ma'am, although Siqi's parents are from the Elder Master's side, we are really from the Second Master's and Second Wife's side, so we dare not have any bad thoughts."

"Leave the word out, and ask your man to go to Mr. Xian's house, find Mr. Xian's adoptive son, and tell him about this."

"Hey." Qin Xian's family was outside all the year round, and when Mrs. Wang ordered them to come down, they didn't leave immediately.

Mrs. Wang knew that she was waiting for a reward, so although she felt distressed, she asked Jin Chuan to give her a drop of money.

Qin Xian's family took the money, pouted when they went outside, and went to the servant's room. When they saw Jin Chuan's mother, they shook the string of money and said with a sneer: "In the first few years I was outside, I only heard that the two Madam, this year is nothing compared to a year, but who knows that it has become like this. On a hot day, when you send someone out to do errands, you only give such a small reward."

When Jin Chuanniang saw it, she said, "It would be nice to have these. We haven't paid the monthly money for last month yet, and we only gave half of the monthly money last month. If it weren't for Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan in the wife's room , we left early too." Yin asked Qin Xian's family what errand they were going to do.

In order to show off his ability, Qin Xian's family told Jin Chuanniang.

Jin Chuanniang said casually: "For this string of money, it's better to go to a chess player. Once Miss Yingchun makes a move, the guarantee is fifty taels." After finishing speaking, she went to wash Jia Dairu's old wife and replaced it clothes.

He does not mean that.Qin Xian's family wanted to follow the east wind of Siqi to go to Yingchun to do business, but Jia Lian had strict control before, and Siqi didn't dare to accept her.Now hearing what Jin Chuanniang said, she immediately went home, saw that Qin Xian was already lying on the bed, pushed him awake, and whispered the words to him.

Hearing this, Qin Xian leaned on his pillow and remembered that he and his brothers had the same father and mother, but because they married different wives, one was with the second wife and the other was with the eldest wife. He was finally summoned by Mrs. Wang, and he saw Seeing that his brother's house has a tidy courtyard and a full warehouse of rice and grain, it is a world of difference compared with his. Moreover, Mrs. Wang's words hurt Siqi, except for Mrs. Wang who is satisfied, what good is it for him?

"What do you say?" Qin Xian's family hurriedly asked.

Qin Xian yawned, and said: "Tomorrow, I'll borrow a donkey from my brother's house as an excuse, and ask my elder brother what he said." After saying that, he turned over and fell asleep.

The next day, after Qin Xian lazily got up, he scratched his neck and went to the stable at the front. When he saw that there was only a bay red pony in the stable, wagging its tail and chewing hay, he said to the boy feeding the horse: Is there a horse left?"

"Mingyan and Saohong, the servants who are called Second Lord Bao, rode away."

"Saddle the horse, I'm anxious to do my wife's business."

The boy who fed the horse moved lazily, and said, "That's not okay, what if Mr. Huan wants to go out? Only this one is left for Mr. Huan to complain about."

Qin Xian muttered intentionally: "It's so hot, don't you ask people to go out on horseback?" After muttering, he went out of the black oil gate, went east, and went north along the alley between Ningrong and Rongfu. At the crowd room under the Guofu, they clamored to borrow a donkey to enter the chess player.

Just yesterday, a chess player got two bolts of medium satin from Yingchun, because the color was old, it was suitable for her mother to wear, and she came to deliver the satin early in the morning, and now she was sitting on the bed eating melon seeds, and her uncle had returned to the city , first asked Qin Xian to sit down, and then said with a smile: "No wonder my mother just said that she would give a piece of satin to my aunt, so you are back."

Qin Xian smiled, seeing that Siqi was wearing a silk skirt and jacket with scattered flowers made by the palace, with a shiny gold jade hairpin on his hair, he secretly thought that Siqi's attire was more decent than that of the second grandma next door, Aunt Yuan, so he also Don't think too much, just tell Siqi what Mrs. Wang ordered.

After hearing this, Siqi raised his brows and said with a sneer, "I've never seen such a vicious person again. It's not enough for their girl to harm our girl once. They want to kill them all! Make our girl unable to even recruit a son-in-law? "

Qin Xian hurriedly said: "It's just that this matter is too unreasonable, so I'm talking about it. Tell me, what should I do now?"

Siqi has a strong temper. Hearing what Qin Xian said, he said, "What else can I do? Tell the girl, tell the girl to go to the second wife."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The chess player's mother listened outside the room, and came in and said to Qin Xian, "Just now the second master led people to the Shenji camp, you chase after them on a donkey, ask the second master before you talk." .”

Qin Xian secretly thought that by doing this, he could appear good to Jia Lian, so he quickly agreed, and said to Siqi: "So, don't tell the girl, lest she will be sad."

Although Siqi was reluctant to let Mrs. Wang go, but wanted to deal with this matter quietly, why bother to tell Yingchun specifically, and wondered how Mrs. Wang knew about Yingchun and Liu Xianglian, so he asked: "Second wife What supernatural power can know about that sword? Who did she meet yesterday?"

Qin Xian said: "It must have been said by the second grandma Bao. The second wife talked to the second grandma Bao yesterday." After hearing that the chess player outside had prepared his horse, he went out and rode out to chase Jia Lian out of the city. .

Unexpectedly, if he missed the road, instead of meeting Jia Lian, he met Jia Huan who was dressed fancy.

Qin Xianxin yelled that he was sorry, and hurriedly got off his horse to greet Jia Huan.

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Are you looking for Mr. Xian? I know where he is."

Qin Xian said with a sneer: "How does Mr. Huan know what the little one is doing?"

Jia Huan said with a smile: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Your wife told Jin Chuan's mother that when Jin Chuan's mother washed clothes, she told my aunt's little auspicious son. Let's go, I will lead You go to see Uncle Xian."

Qin Xian had no choice but to agree, and followed Jia Huan on horseback, complaining repeatedly in his heart, secretly thinking that it would be hard for him to behave in front of Siqi's family.

"Sister Yingchun is not as smart as my sister Tanchun. It's not good for her to find someone, but someone who offended Second Brother Lian. Let's see how Second Brother Lian knows about this and how to deal with her." Jia Huan was still restless riding on the horse. Hold the fan to fan the wind in front of you.

"Yes, yes." Qin Xianwei obediently agreed, and when he saw Jia Huan dismounting in front of a house with lanterns in the Chinese characters for Bian, he hurriedly dismounted too.

"Hey, the fifth prince's brother-in-law is here." When the people of Bian's mansion saw Jia Huan, they rushed up to welcome him.

Jia Huan raised his head and asked, "Is Mr. Xian there?"

"Yes, I'm having wine with our fifth master." The servants said, leading Jia Huan and Qin Xian inward.

The courtyard of Bian Mansion is deep, but from east to west, there is only one place full of people, throwing dice, laughing and cursing constantly.

Qin Xian looked carefully, and saw that the trees in the courtyard were no more than the thickness of a wrist, and there were no swallow's nests or moss under the walls of the four eaves, so he knew that the Bian family was a wealthy family, not an old family.

When I got to the crowded place, I saw a group of children with notes on their faces or rouge on their lips and cheeks, or even tea bowls on their heads, sitting at the table with their legs crossed and shouting loudly. Small in size.

"Uncle Xian, our wife sent someone to tell you the same thing." Jia Huan smiled and put his adopted son Xian Yuanchang on the shoulder of Eunuch Xian.

Xian Yuanchang looked at Jia Huan's hand with a cold face.

That day, the man who brought up the Spring Festival marriage with Xian Yuanchang in Xue's restaurant, that is, Bian Liang, the adopted son of Prince Zhongshun, pushed Xian Yuanchang, and smiled at Jia Huan: "Don't disturb other people's elegance, let's go and talk at the same time." .” Then he dragged Xian Yuanchang away from the gambling game, and spoke to a secluded and shady place.

"What do you want to say?" Xian Yuanchang folded his arms, feeling that he would also be a member of the first house of the Jia family in the future, and had nothing to do with the second house of the Jia family, so he didn't take Jia Huan seriously.

Qin Xian was sweating profusely on his forehead, seeing Jia Huan winking his eyes and urging him, he had to say: "Our eldest girl has actually had an affair with someone named Liu Xianglian, and now Liu Xianglian's Mandarin Duck Sword is in our eldest girl's hands." In hand."

Xian Yuanchang was determined to win Yingchun. Hearing Qin Xian's words, his eyes were open, and he said to Jia Huan, "You girls from Jia's family are exactly the same!"

"Master Xian, don't talk about my sister." Jia Huan joked shamelessly.

"Liu Xianglian?" Bian Liangji narrowed his eyes resentfully. Although he didn't dare to tell others, he always felt that it was too strange that Liu Xianglian suddenly came out to rescue Jiang Yuhan that day. After thinking about it, he felt that Liu Xianglian was a yellow bird In the back, waiting for revenge.

Xian Yuanchang spat hard, and said with a sneer: "No matter who Miss Jia is having an affair with, even if she gives birth to a wild child, she is still my Xian Yuanchang's!"

Bian Liang also said: "Then Liu Xianglian and Jia Lian have already cut off their righteousness..." Suddenly thinking, didn't Liu Xianglian give Jia Lian the sword?So he asked Qin Xian, "Is there any evidence for your wife's words?"

"Someone saw Liu Xianglian's sword in Miss Yingchun's hand." Qin Xian said.

Bian Liang originally wanted to appease Xian Yuanchang, saying it was a misunderstanding, after all, the elder brother who was willing to ask his sister to recruit her brother-in-law might not give the sword to his sister to decorate the house because of its rarity.But he hated Liu Xianglian at first, and wished that Xian Yuanchang would trouble Liu Xianglian, so he said to Xian Yuanchang: "Then this matter is almost the same. According to me, you might as well teach Liu Xianglian a hard lesson. Go talk to Jia Lian again. Jia Lian sees that her sister doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and she's dating a wild man who cut off all ties with him..."

"What if she refuses to ask her sister to recruit a son-in-law?" Xian Yuanchang was most concerned about this matter, and after hearing what Bian Liang said, he disapproved.

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Second brother Lian is waiting for Yingchun to pass on the family line to the Rongguo Mansion, and he will definitely not marry her out."

Hearing what Jia Huan said, Xian Yuanchang immediately felt relieved of his worries. He only felt that Bian Liang's words were very reasonable, and he settled down early, which also made Mr. Xian feel at ease, so he agreed.

Jia Huan's eyeballs rolled wildly, and it was not easy to intervene. He ignored Qin Xian and went to the game by himself.

Just as Jia Huan left, a man named Sun Shaozu came over and said to Xian Yuanchang and Bian Liang from a distance: "You two left suddenly, which hurt my luck. If you lose two or three games, you will lose no more than four or five." Hundred."

Bian Liang listened to Prince Zhongshun's order to get close to Sun Shaozu, who is now a candidate for promotion in the Ministry of War. In the past six months, he often gambled and drank with him. son."

"Which one is so bold? Don't you think you died early?" Sun Shaozu was immediately filled with righteous indignation because of Bianliang's close relationship with the Zhongshun Palace.

Bian Liang said: "It's that Liu Xianglian. Now we're going to find out about Liu Xianglian. If you are loyal enough, follow us. If you are afraid, just go back to gamble and drink."

Sun Shaozu sneered and said: "It's fine if it's someone else. I'm afraid of Liu Xianglian who has no official title. Is that still a person?" Liu Xianglian.

"Go and find out where Liu Xianglian is, come back quickly and tell me." Bian Liang intentionally asked Jia's second wife to get involved, and pushed Qin Xian.

Qin Xianwei was in a dilemma, so he had no choice but to agree, and when he went out, the hot sun was shining on his body, he cursed Jia Huan thousands of times in his heart, and wanted to see how he played chess, but Jia Lian and Yingchun absolutely refused. If the marriage of Xian's family is really done, he will not say that he will be ashamed to see Siqi in the future, and he is afraid that Jia Lian will not let him go.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard someone calling Uncle Qin.

Qin Xian turned his head to look around, dazzled by the sun, he didn't see anyone for a while, and was about to leave again, when he heard a woman calling Uncle Qin, he looked at a shop, and saw a strange expression on his face. The little girl in a bright red dress stood behind the threshold and called him.

Are you dazzled?How can such a well-dressed and smart girl stand behind the threshold.

"Come in and drink tea," the little girl called again, seeing that Qin Xian was not moving, she said, "My old man is Lin Zhixiao."

Qin Xian heard that it was Lin Zhixiao who was befriending him earlier, so he hurried over, got off the horse and handed the horse to the waiter, then looked at Hongyu and said, "I don't think the girl has grown so big, it's hard for the girl to remember me."

Hongyu smiled and said: "I know your horse belongs to a chess player, and I look at your face and I look like a chess player." Then he led Qin Xian inward and asked him to drink two large bowls of sour plum soup to quench his thirst. Then he said, "Our aunt is settling accounts upstairs, Second Uncle Qin please greet my aunt through the door."

When Qin Xian heard that she was an aunt, he guessed it was Ping'er, knowing that she was a very powerful person, hurriedly followed Hongyu up to the second floor, and said through several carved doors: "Greetings to my aunt, best wishes to my aunt. "

"In this hot day, are you working for the second wife of the Jia family?"

Hearing the gentle and delicate voice, Qin Xian hurriedly said, "I asked my aunt to guess." Thinking that Hongyu came from Jia Lian, he said to Xiaohong, "Hongyu, please ask my aunt for me. She sent someone to deliver a message to Second Master Lian for me."

"... Hongyu, lead him in." Ping'er said inside.

"Hey." Hongyu agreed, reminding Qin Xian to wipe off his sweat, and pushed open the carved door to let Qin Xian in.

When Qin Xian went in, he smelled a sweet scent of powder, and didn't dare to look up, so he told Ping'er what he had said to Hongyu.

Ping'er sat at the table and watched Caiming settle accounts, so he said to Qin Xian: "You want to send someone to find the second master Lian, but because of the second wife, what kind of moth is going to trouble the second master Lian?"

"Grandma guessed it right again." Qin Xian raised his head slightly in astonishment, and saw a beautiful woman covered in embroideries and jewels sitting behind the table, hurriedly lowered her head, secretly thinking that the Xue family is now supported by a woman.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it. Although our grandpa and grandma are not in the capital, our family is closer to the second master Lian than to the second wife. You just say it's okay. If you make a mistake and offend the second master Lian, you will die." It doesn't matter if you don't die, it's a big deal that our wife is stuck in the two rooms of Jia's house because of the trouble."

"What my aunt said is true." Qin Xian heard that she had a good conversation, so he talked about the most of the day.

Ping'er's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly remembered the legend that Liu Xianglian's wife, Zhen Yinglian, was forced to death by the righteous son of Prince Zhongshun. He secretly thought that Bian Liang might also be one of Zhen Yinglian who was forced to death, so he said to Qin Xian: "Just go to the Lin family to find out about Liu Xianglian's death. Xianglian's whereabouts, I called Liu Xianglian from another ward. Don't mention this matter to anyone else."

"Hey." Qin Xian hurriedly agreed, and when he saw Hongyu waving at him, he hurriedly withdrew and went to work.

Hongyu waited for Qin Xian to leave, and hurriedly asked Ping'er: "What is Auntie concerned about?"

Ping'er laughed and said: "According to me, Second Master Lian is not a fool. He would not give a man's sword to Yingchun for no reason. I am afraid that Yingchun has been promised to Liu Xianglian in private. You send someone to talk to Liu Xianglian Let's talk about this matter, no matter whether Liu Xianglian avenges his wife's murder or just avoids humiliation, in short, our favor has been sold to Rongguo Mansion."

Hongyu smiled and said, "Auntie is right." So she hurriedly sent someone to deliver the letter to the Lin family.

Besides, Liu Xianglian couldn't help being furious when she received the letter from Hongyu, secretly thinking that Bian Liang was so shameless that he wanted to force his two wives to death. Ni Er's hooligan called Ni Er is very righteous, thinking that since he is a debt-ridden, he must have a group of daring thugs by his side, so he took 200 taels of silver and asked people to go to Ni Er in secret, and only said To avenge the murder of his wife.In the evening, I heard that Ni Er sent a letter to deal with this matter, so I rode out alone, bought some incense candles in the incense candle shop, and went out of the city.

At the gate of the city, as expected, he saw people looking at him furtively, so he went out without looking aside, heading directly towards the mass graves outside the city. When he arrived at the cluster of graves, it was already dark. Lighting candles and burning paper money by the side of the grave, seeing torches dancing like will-o'-the-wisps in the distance, I knew it was Ni Er telling him to get out quickly, so I didn't ride the horse, and quietly went to the distance, hiding in someone's house. Look behind the mound.

Sure enough, there was only a sound of hoofbeats, and then eighteen people rode over. Judging from their clothes, they were three young masters and fifteen attendants.

Liu Xianglian thought to herself that he really is a group of rats, seeing that he is the only one with so many followers.

Liu Xianglian watched from one side, and from the other side, Bian Liang got off his horse and kicked out the candle. Seeing that Liu Xianglian had only one horse left in front of the grave, he couldn't help wondering, "Where did Liu Xianglian go?"

"The horse is still there, it can't go far, so ask someone to search for it." Sun Shaozu said more enthusiastically than Xian Yuanchang.

Bian Liang got on his horse again, and was about to wave his hand to make people search, when suddenly he heard the sound of breaking wind, he still held his hand, but he turned his body and fell down.

"Not good." Xian Yuanchang yelled, only to hear the whistling sound.

"Get down quickly." Sun Shaozu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed Xian Yuanchang on the horse. Seeing that his followers fell to the ground in response, he hurriedly pulled Xian Yuanchang onto his own horse. After reaching his own horse, he crawled and rode his horse to the city gate.

Seeing that there were only two survivors, Sun Shaozu and Xian Yuanchang, Liu Xianglian wanted to chase after her. She didn't want her shoulders to sink, and when she turned around, she saw a bearded man holding him down.

Ni Er said with a smile: "The poor should not chase after them."

Liu Xianglian quickly thanked him, thinking that Ni Er was a reckless man with only a chivalrous heart, and he knew that he would call people to shoot arrows, so she hurriedly said, "Thank you, brother."

"You don't need to thank me, just look at whose family this arrow belongs to?" Ni Er said, and took out a feather arrow to show Liu Xianglian.

Seeing the inscription Zhongshun Wangfu engraved on it, Liu Xianglian became more and more surprised, and hurriedly said: "How can there be an arrow from Zhongshun Wangfu in Xiongtai?" If you rush to work, how can you make this arrow in half a day?Don't think about where the arrow came from, but think that if the arrow is seen, the first suspicion will fall on Zhongshun Wangfu.

Ni Er said with a smile: "A gambler was forced to death by debt collection earlier, and he got involved in a lawsuit. Fortunately, Brother Yun interceded with Second Lord Lian for me and compensated him for his money. I just left the city and happened to go to the Shenji Camp. Dear Second Master Lian, once you talk to him, he will say that he has dispatched people to put those bastards to death." As he was speaking, he saw Liu Xianglian's horse returning, so he cupped his hands and said: "There will be a time later." Seeing that there is a ready-made incense, she wants to offer incense to Zhen Yinglian.

Liu Xianglian hurriedly stopped him and said, "This is not the grave of my dead wife. She was timid and afraid of frightening her, so she found this unknown family's grave and paid her respects."

"After all, I've disturbed others, so let's pay my respects." Ni Er said, holding the incense and bowing, put the incense in front of the grave and went.

Liu Xianglian also bowed hurriedly, lest the surviving Sun Shaozu would go back to rescue the soldiers and would not return to the city immediately, thinking that Feng Ziying was in the south, she rode to the south.
