The Traitor Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

In July of the 12th year of Taiping, it was midsummer, and the sun was scorching like fire. Even in the evening, the Golden Crow was still hot, so that people hid in the house and did not want to go out.

Xing'er looked at the big sun that hadn't set yet, and held up an umbrella to shield her master from the scorching heat.

Seeing this, the young servant who was ordered to hold the inkstone was a little dissatisfied, and urged: "Second Master Lian, please hurry up, the master has something important to say, so don't delay, our master will have to talk to Zhu after the meeting. Uncle is going to the elegant meeting of the Minister of Rites."

Not to mention that it was a hot day, he was plotted against once, pointing to such an errand job, he was a little annoyed, but everyone in the Rongguo Mansion knew this rule - the servants in the elder's room were respectable in front of the young master.Ever since he held the inkstone and became a servant in the master's study, in the past three years, no one really saw him and gave him a smile.

Even the second master Lian under the umbrella in front of him is gentle and polite when he sees him on weekdays.After all, almost the whole capital knew that the elder Jia She of the Rongguo Mansion was incompetent, and the elder Jia Zheng was upright and polite.As for Jia Lian, an incompetent son, although he was born well enough to have the young master's life, he lost his mother at birth, and his father didn't like it.Waiting for Uncle Zhu to be a scholar in high school, Second Master Lian can learn to be a housekeeper.

Jia Lian seemed frightened by the last sentence, so he quickened his pace a little, passed through the gate, passed through a hallway, went to the south hall, entered the main room, and then walked eastward to Jia Zheng's study.Xing'er, who followed closely behind, put away her umbrella in a hurry.

As soon as you step into the study, you will immediately welcome a cool air.

Jia Lian glanced at the ice cubes placed in the room, suppressed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and respectfully greeted the two people in the room: "I've seen the master, Brother Zhu."

Jia Zheng, who was sitting at the top, hummed lightly, looked at the second nephew, whose face was reddish from the rush, and sweating on his forehead, glanced at the umbrella leaning on the door, sank a little, and scolded him with a straight face. Said: "Lian'er, how many times have I said it. The heaven will send a great mission to Si, and people must first work hard and work hard. Although people like us have no shortage of ice or servants, but you You have to learn to work hard and not be coquettish. Don't blame the second uncle for being strict with you, just because you are afraid that you will catch some of the bad habits of the big brother."

Thinking of his eldest brother, Jia She, a well-known gangster in the capital who frequents brothels, Jia She then glanced at his second nephew, who had a similar face, and his brows furrowed even more.

Hearing this, Peng Yan snickered.

Jia Lian: "..."

Jia Lian, no, to be precise, Liu Jin always felt sick to her stomach and wanted to vomit when she heard these affectionate words.

A month ago, he had borrowed a dead body to revive his soul. From the famous [-]-year-old Liu Jin Liuxiang of the Jin Dynasty, he became Jia Lian, the son of the stable general, a descendant of the famous Duke Rong of the Zhou Dynasty.

Before reviving his body, he spent 30 years in officialdom. He received the favor of the emperor, supervised the army in the Southwest, defeated bandits, conquered Binzhou and Taozhou, held a heavy army, and ordered him to assist the new emperor. He returned to the supervisor of rites. Become the chief eunuch who writes.Even if Shi Zai was a treacherous eunuch and was flogged to the corpse in the end, at any rate, he died with a glorious life and power.

The 13-year-old Jia Lian was reincarnated from a dead body, with a rich and noble shell of a descendant of a prince, his biological father Jia She was a worthless waste, and his stepmother was stingy and not on the table.The second uncle seems to be a serious and strict father, the aunt seems to be kind, the elder brother Jia Zhu seems to be friendly, and the old lady Jia Mu who is in charge of the Rongguo Mansion is even more loving. Unfortunately, Jia Lian's surname is all fake.

Jia Lian just overheard the dispute between his second uncle, who was always like a strict father, and his aunt, who was like a loving mother. His words revealed murderous intentions - buying an official for him was not to make him look good when he talked about marriage, but to break him off. For the sake of inheriting the title, Liu Jin took advantage of the loophole because he died for a while during his official career.

Even though Liu Jin's psychological situation is a little different, but every time her slender fingers touch the thick and long object in front of her, Liu Jin has no opinion on becoming Jia Lian, and even weeps with joy. The poison took Jia Zheng's life to sacrifice Jia Lian's spirit in heaven.

One month is enough time for him, a stray dog ​​who has been recorded in history books and has the reputation of being a traitor forever, to be poisoned.

Well, next harem women commonly used medicine.

=====

"Master, what you taught is that Lian'er knows his mistake." Jia Lian was obedient and even looked at Jia Zheng with admiration.

Hearing this, Jia Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "Now that you have started to learn how to be a housekeeper, you have learned to calm down. I discussed your marriage with your aunt earlier, and the Wang family only agreed to marry you today. Do you want to marry me?" Thank you Zhu'er a lot, understandable? If it weren't for him being a high school scholar, how could the big brother-in-law nod his head in agreement."

"Father, you're joking." Jia Zhu, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile, "If you hadn't interceded with the old ancestor, and Lian's younger brother looks better than Pan An, and his cousin is a childhood sweetheart, how could uncle agree?"

There is already a royal wife in the family, and if the future heir marries a royal daughter, it will be a waste of a good opportunity for marriage, and a waste of Jia Lian's face.

There was a sneer on Jia Lian's lips, as if he was mocking himself: "Second Uncle, Brother Zhu, you two, please stop making fun of me."

After finishing speaking, Jia Lian paused, looked at Jia Zheng, showed a naivety of ignorance of worldly affairs, and said straight to the point: "Second Uncle called me here urgently, but is there anything urgent that I need to do?"

"It's nothing important." Jia Zhu glanced at her father with a serious face, then turned to look at Jia Lian, with a gentle smile in her eyes: "I have the honor to be in the same department as the grandson of Lord Liu, Minister of Rites. Fortunately, after all, Jia's family was born as a military general, and there is some gap between civil and military. It is rare for me to be invited by the Liu family, who is a scholarly heirloom. However, I heard that my uncle and Master Liu are a little unhappy to be a Jade Buddha recently, so I have to ask Brother Fan Lian, you have to deal with it one or two times, and advise the uncle not to try to seize the Jade Buddha."

"This..." Jia Lian frowned when he heard this: "Brother Zhu, you also know my father's temperament, I...I also..."

Jia Lian glanced at Jia Zheng, whose expression was turning cold, and then at Jia Zhu, who was cautiously trying to get the benefits of having fun. He hesitated for a while, and finally seemed to have made some decision, and gritted his teeth to agree.

"Lian'er, it's gratifying that you can understand righteousness so deeply." Jia Zheng's expression relaxed.Originally it would be best for the old lady to come forward for this kind of thing, but just half a month ago Jia She pointed at him and scolded him only to find his mother, so now it is not easy for him to act like this.

After a pause, Jia Zheng said earnestly: "For a family like ours, all parties should work together to restore the glory of the ancestors." How could it be like his elder brother, who saw his son's high school scholar, but at the banquet, he was red-eyed, drunk, and full-hearted. The narrow-minded nonsense made such a noise that even his face became embarrassing.

Jia Lian smiled again and nodded, saying yes again and again.

Seeing Jia Lian like this, Jia Zheng waved his hands after a few more words of encouragement to make people retreat.After he left, Jia Zheng glanced at his handsome son, suppressed the flash of envy and jealousy in his eyes, and said expressionlessly, "It's inevitable that there will be some social gatherings like this kind of elegant meeting, and you should go and prepare for it." Prepare."

"Yes, father." Jia Zhu nodded and left after hearing this.Dancing girls and singers add to the fun at the banquet, and it is also a romantic and elegant thing to accompany the guests.

Watching his flamboyant and handsome son leave, Jia Zheng glanced at his confidant boy writing, his eyes sank.

He is thirty this year, at the age of a wolf and a tiger, and his concubine Aunt Zhao gave birth to a son for him the year before.But in recent months, there has always been some powerlessness.For an elegant gathering like tonight, where literati gather, the host is Liu Zheng, the Minister of Rites who is quite trusted today.Not to mention her high status and authority, even her daughter is also a favored concubine in the palace, and their Jia family is not easy to offend now.

Even if he refused to take over on the pretext of Rongguo Mansion's power, it would not work because of emotion and reason. He had to give the Liu family face.

Because the Rongguo Mansion failed to stand in line before, he has been dormant in secret for twelve years. Now he finally has a pair of sons and daughters with their own strengths. His son Jiazhu is in high school, and his daughter is favored by the Queen. Given the opportunity to be favored, he must seize every opportunity to recover. .

For 12 full years, he, a member of the Fifth Grade Industry Department who was rewarded by the emperor and was rewarded by his father, sat on the bench for 12 full years.

The writer, who was glanced at by Jia Zheng, looked out the door anxiously.He had already asked his younger brother Wang Lang to serve the medicinal food.

=====

Wang Lang, who was being resented, came from the kitchen, his eyes full of impatience, he carried the steaming medicine stove, and walked against the wall of the veranda, wiping his sweat, when he met Jia Lian at the corner, he only saluted perfunctorily.

Jia Lian didn't care either, she looked at the eye medicine stove impartially with downcast eyes, and then left on her own.When he walked out of the main room, Jia Lian suddenly turned his eyes and looked up at [the red gold plaque with nine dragons and green ground, on which there are three large characters written in big characters, "Rongxi Hall"], revealing a murderous intent.

This is his Jia Lian's stuff!

With the belief that he must win, Jia Lian walked slowly back to the east courtyard where the big house was located, and felt shady, and walked through the hanging flower gate, and happened to meet his father, Jia She.

Lying on the soft bed, the servant behind him held an umbrella on the left and played a fan on the right, and there were two handsome concubines on the left and right, feeding grapes, drinking wine, and wiping sweat.There are even dancers dancing in the yard.

Jia Lian raised his eyes to look at the golden crow that was gradually setting in the west, and looked at the large ice cubes that could be seen with the naked eye as the cold air drifted up and melted rapidly, and finally glanced at Jia She, whose face was glowing red against the burning clouds.

It is undeniable that Jia She was born very well.

Good reincarnation, when the Jia family was born at the peak of power, there was a grandmother who held her hand as a pain in the eyes, Jia Daishan was considered a strict father, and it was said that he favored Jia Zheng who could read, but Jia pardoned everything that the eldest heir should have.

Even if Jia's mother prefers the second room now, and drives Jia She to the horse shed in the side courtyard through filial piety, and lets the second room live in the Rongxi Hall, there is no limit to Jia She's financial expenses. For example, the prodigal son has placed two rows of ice cubes in the yard , and didn't directly kill this waste snack.But maybe there is also the possibility that it will be raised and then slaughtered.

Jiuqiantui, who has always believed that human nature is inherently evil, doesn't mind using the most vicious thinking to figure out everyone in the Jia family.

Of course, Jia She's looks are not bad.In other words, the entire Jia family looks good, and this Jia Amnesty is even more masculine and feminine. At this moment, his eyes are shining, his eyebrows are bright, and he compares his two concubines abruptly, even if he is thirty this year. There are three.

Of course, as his son, Jia Lian looks good too.

Seeing this face, Jia Lian saluted: "Father."

"Pfft." Jia She spit out the grape seeds, raised his eyes to glance at Jia Lian, and snorted coldly: "Second Master Lian, do you still remember who is your father?"

"Father, you are joking," Jia Lian said.For a month, he had fulfilled his filial piety every morning and evening every day, and he also found out Jia Amnesty's spoiled temperament.It is evidenced by the combination of words and phrases in the mansion and the political turmoil outside the mansion.Jia Amnesty is a good-for-nothing who was carefully raised when he was young.It's just that people are not as good as heaven, even though the Jia family is a royalist party and was ordered to assist the former prince, but the successful person sitting on the throne is not the prince, but the sixth prince who was originally unknown.Although the Jia family's backer, the Supreme Emperor, is still there, but now the emperor has been in power for 12 years, and he hates the Jia family, the four kings and eight princes and other noble and veteran officials.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one.The obvious chaos in the Jia family can barely avoid the current suppression.

As for Jia She, the emperor felt that Jia's family was an eyesore, as long as he didn't order the house to be ransacked, Jia She's life as a wealthy and idle person would be worry-free.Of course, the premise is that he doesn't commit suicide.

"Oh." Jia She glanced sideways at Jia Lian, and casually took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, "My lord, I have a bitter summer, and I don't like to move. Go, buy me the Jade Buddha in the Treasure Pavilion that day. The rest I'll buy you snacks."

Jia Lian took the bank note from Jia Amnesty and frowned.He doesn't need to count, just pinch the thickness, and he knows it well.

1 taels!

"Too little?" Seeing Jia Lian's eyebrows frowned, Jia She said nonchalantly, "Then go to pay the bills. Let me tell you, I am determined to get that Jade Buddha Master. Buy it here, and I will smash it in front of my second son, huh!"

"I'll go tomorrow." Jia Lian replied blankly, went back to his room, and ordered someone to carry water.

He also hates summer.

If it wasn't for confirming whether his plan was successful, he wouldn't bother to threaten the snake.

After taking off his clothes and entering the water, Jia Lian's eyes were shining brightly. After holding his left hand and then his right hand, he went back and forth several times before he could barely restrain his joy.

The baby he had dreamed of in his previous life until his death.

In this life, he was finally a man, a complete man.
