The Traitor Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

In view of Jia Zhen as a reference for comparison, Jia Lian is quite satisfied with her married life.Situ Le is perfect in other aspects except that he can't bloom branches and leaves, especially when he is playing with his father, if he wants to climb a tree to catch cicadas, he will definitely not roast cicadas.

As the singing of cicadas became louder day by day, news came from Yangzhou that Jia Min finally died of illness on June 23.Now the Lin family's funeral procession is still on their way to Beijing.

Thinking of the letter from Feige that he received early in the morning, Jia Lian looked at the laughter and laughter in the courtyard again, his eyes sank, and he decided to suppress the news first.To him, to his father, Jia Min was nothing more than a close relative in terms of blood relationship.

The most important thing right now is the Martial Palace Examination on the surface.

There is only one day left until the exam.

Martial arts exams are different from literary exams. This last exam is a practical exercise. The top ten teams will draw lots to lead their teams, and they will go up the mountain to capture the flag to determine the winner.

"Stupid, don't talk too much nonsense, my father thinks every day to open the door of Wu Zhuangyuan's mansion next door, so that it is convenient to visit."

"Uncle She will definitely get what he wants." Hu Tu said confidently.

"Oh, the tone is not small. My father may have thought of it for his eldest nephew. Jingyu has also been shortlisted for the top ten." Jia Lian habitually said, and then said: "You should be careful. Shijia, either he is a descendant of a general who went to the barracks or was a frontier soldier. They are all veterans on the battlefield, and you are the only one talking about military affairs on paper. Besides, the word dislike is written on your forehead today."

"I know." As soon as the present was mentioned, Hu Tu's face darkened, and he laughed: "For you and the old man, you never leave a child, but for Yu'er, you never leave a wife. This..." This emperor is really too good free.

He could hear the meaning of being confused, and Jia Lian could only sigh silently about it. Right now he is not powerful enough, he is soft-spoken and has no ability to fight back.Birth and the like had to be ignored.

Just when the two of them were secretly feeling sad, they heard a servant report that Master Biao, Shangguan Jingyu, had urgent matters to see.

"Come on," Jia Lian said, puzzled.After this eldest aunt's son came to the capital, he just paid a courtesy visit to the Rong Mansion and seemed unwilling to have too much involvement with the Jia family, so why did he take the initiative to visit now?

Maybe the fish got hooked.

While Jia Lian was thinking, his peripheral vision glanced in confusion.

Seeing this, Hutu bid farewell, and just two steps out of the study, when Shangguan Jingyu saw him, a cluster of flames flashed in his eyes, and said: "This matter has something to do with you, please don't leave yet."

"Me?" Hutu frowned, then entered the room.

"This..." Jia Lian saw that he was confused and then returned, and seeing Shangguan Jingyu's murderous look, he said, "Brother Jingyu, why are you so angry?"

"Brother Lian, please forgive me for being rude." Shangguan Jingyu's expression was serious: "Before Ningfu recommends the spot of Wutu Wushu, is there any investigation?"

"Both my parents have registered as merchants. When they obtained Yanyin, all their resumes were archived in Xunyan Yushi's Mansion. Why can't they be fake?" Hu Tu said in a deep voice with no expression on his face.

"Although the Taizu has ordered that the Four Kings and Eight Dukes use the quota to recommend Wu Xiucai, and it is not necessary to check the resume in detail like Wen Ju, but Brother Hu, to put it bluntly, you have offended someone. Or someone can't tolerate the Jia family. Continue to practice martial arts. The fact that your parents have fake resumes will naturally be found out." Shangguan Jingyu said: "I only heard this, what should you do, you should discuss it yourself."

"Thank you brother Jingyu for letting me know." Seeing that Shangguan Jingyu's voice fell, Jia Lian turned around and left, hastily sending each other out the door. The moment he stepped out of the threshold, he glanced back at the dazed dazed bewilderment, and heaved a sigh of relief.

After returning to the study, Jia Lian patted Hutu on the shoulder and said, "You also know my temperament. Since Big Brother Zhen recommended you, I have also investigated Hu's family in detail. I know why this is a fake. Are you If you want me to say, should I go back and ask members outside Hu?"

"Tell me, I don't want to go back and expose my parents' scars." Hutu looked back, looking straight at Jia Lian: "I don't think you bother to lie."

Jia Lian did not hide, with a helpless smile on his face: "Even if they are not related by blood, they are just from the same village, but because of the same surname and not married, your parents cannot get the approval of their family members. They eloped and ran away from home." Yes, that’s why I would rather become a merchant.”

"It's no wonder I confided my heart to them back then, and they didn't object to me..." Hu Tu rubbed his head, recalling the anxiety and entanglement he felt when he discovered his love in the past, and in the end it was his father who made up his determination to pursue love.

Feeling sad for a while, he glanced sideways at Jia Lian and asked, "Since you already knew, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"This kind of thing depends entirely on the superior. Today, I hate you for cutting off your sleeves, which made him lose a prodigy son-in-law, but I don't hate my Jia family who recommended a rising star. If someone is stupid enough to make a fuss about Hu Yuanwai and his wife, You will only shoot yourself in the foot." Jia Lian's expression was light: "No matter what your background is, since Big Brother Zhen has given you a place, you have done everything in the past, and my Jia family will deal with it. It's like no matter how great your military exploits are in the future, Feng When it's over, it will be imprinted with the imprint of my Jia family."

"Do you not care?" Hutu frowned: "This Shangguan Jingyu is also a good talent. If you want to develop in the army, wouldn't it be more justifiable to support him?" Supporting him, the son of a merchant, seems to be doing more harm than good.

"No!" Jia Lian's eyes showed a determined smile: "I will support myself. I will join the army as a general in the future."

"You are really ambitious." Hutu pondered for a long while, then paused word by word.

"You are a smart man. Our country's soldiers treat you well, and we will definitely want you to repay you as a country's soldiers."

"Hehe." Hu Tu shook his head and refused: "Even though there are some queen mother demeanors nowadays, if you ask yourself, you are good to Yu'er.

"That's natural, and I don't have the heart to avenge my revenge. I'm his Wenqu star, but I just have some things to plan ahead." Jia Lian smiled indifferently at the foolish rejection, and sighed: "I'm afraid of his back of those people."

There are not many clues about the matter of the corpse array until now. Apart from reorganizing the vagrants in the capital, there are also gangsters who kidnapped Tang Wuzuo and others. Their motives and purposes are completely reasonable.

This is so fucking evil!

He also vaguely knew about the corpse formation, and when he looked at Jia Lian in a daze, his heart became more and more sympathetic.The father-in-law is also capable, and this Jia Lian is destined to fight for power.

"Don't carry too much on your own, like me..." Hu Tu sighed: "You can leave it to Jia Zhen to investigate things like my background. Whether I am good or bad, he should be responsible."

"Think about this, do you believe it yourself?" Jia Lian rarely heard a comforting word in a daze, knowing that he believed in the elopement, and looked at him with a bit of sympathy in turn, couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth, and said coldly He replied: "I can't write Jia characters with one stroke. What's more, Brother Zhen helped our eldest brother intentionally or unintentionally before. I must pay attention to it."

"But it's good now, with Tang Yu in charge, it's completely..." Thinking of the bustling Ning Mansion, Jia Lian couldn't help laughing: "You can rest assured."

"That's right." Hu Tu couldn't help laughing, followed by the corners of his mouth, and smiled again and again: "Even Brother Rong is quite childish."

He also met Jia Rong once before, who looked like a little Taoist priest, and he was indifferent.

"You like children too?" Jia Lian looked at her with a dazed look: "I heard that Rong'er's enlightenment, you and Fu Yu plan to teach? Let me tell you, don't let Rong'er see things you shouldn't see."

"Yu'er likes Rong'er quite a lot. But Rong'er thinks that guests must go to an opera if they want to go to a brothel banquet." Hu Tu emphasized.

"Yeah." Jia Lian nodded heavily: "It's because my father didn't take it well." His father took Jia Zhen, and these were the only places he could visit.

"However, according to the Jia family's practice, I will teach Rong'er with me. It's good to have Professor Fu Yu. It will depend on the situation. Our two families will take turns to take care of Rong'er. Brother Rong is the eldest son, and he is The future patriarch, this education must not repeat the old way of the past." For a long time, he may not be able to have children, so Rong'er's education method should be extremely cautious.

Jia Lian's eyes paused, and he talked to Hu Tu about the original topic: "What Jingyu said earlier is correct. We, Jia Jiawu, have been reposting the text for a long time. Even if there is still some lingering shadows, it is still a waste of time. We can ensure that you have You are eligible to play, but for the rest, you have to work hard on your own!"

"It's natural." Hutu nodded and smiled.

"Then..." Jia Lian was about to chat for a while, when he heard a long and drawn out voice from outside the yard: "Dear-in-law, come and eat iced watermelon!"

"Father, don't eat any more!" Jia Lian rubbed her bulging veins, got up and walked outside.Now his father was able to bear it, relying on the half-light kung fu he learned from the King of Qin, he dared to climb up the fence, and then communicated with all by a "scream".

After all, the courtyard is too small. The wall between Wen Mansion and Zhuangyuan Mansion can be demolished directly.

"Eating bad stomach again, I will send you to Qingbei Academy to study hard."

Jia Amnesty, who was lying on the fence, turned to look at Jia Lian, aggrieved: "I don't want to go to school alone."

"Okay, no, you come down first." Jia Lian said, scanning the guards with his eyes, motioning for people to go up the fence, and supporting Jia She on the left and right to come down.

"Lien'er, don't be angry. I just learned lightness kung fu, it's amazing." Jia Amnesty tugged at Jia Lian's sleeve and shook it fawningly.

"No matter how powerful you are, you have to pay attention to your body." Jia Lian said with a straight face, "Look at how dirty the fence is! Also, how many times have you had a stomachache? Watermelon is cold, you should eat less , and your father-in-law can't eat it, so you can tease him with it, and when he gets anxious, you will be the one crying."

"Humph."

"If you lose your temper with your body again, then we will go back to Rong Mansion."

"Lian'er, I was wrong." Jia She said with a depressed face, "I... I'm just at a loss, I have more than a month of vacation, I don't know what I should do if I don't make trouble."

He has been trained to form a habit and study hard every day.But now?According to the plan, after the martial arts exam is over, King Qin will abolish Lian'er's erroneous internal strength, and then help her take good care of her body before the ceremony.After the ceremony, the King of Qin will take him to elope again... oh, to find the natural treasures that can help Lian'er restore his right arm.

So at this stage, with no homework and no restrictions from the master, at first it was very nourishing, but gradually it became a little lonely and empty.

Jia Lian took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said with a smile, "Prepare for the exam! I have homework assigned every day, so do it well for me!"

"I don't want to study alone. Xiaotangtang and the others are going on a study tour, and I want to go too, and I want to travel all over the world!"

"Wait until you get older. Now you study hard at home, I..." Jia Lian thought for a while, then said, "I'll ask Brother Rong and the others to accompany you, okay?"

"Rong'er?" Jia She nodded, "Okay." The big fat grandson will try to raise him first!

"Hey, let's go to the martial arts exam tomorrow, let's cheer for the fool, you should recharge your batteries now, right?" Jia Lian stretched out his hand to help Jia She bounce the dust off his clothes, and said, "There is also your eldest nephew, Shangguan Jingyu. , isn’t it? You will be majestic tomorrow! Two of the top ten belong to you.”

"Ah."

After saying a few more words, after Jia Lian coaxed Jia Amnesty away, he patted Hutu on the shoulder angrily: "Take care of your master, don't bring my father down."

Hu Tu: "...This... This feeling is already a bit bad, Brother Lian, I didn't find out what's going on between them..."

Jia Lian tapped Hu Tu's chest with his elbow, and said with great force: "Nothing was found. My father, Wen Wen, is a child. Those who climbed walls and climbed trees were all brought by King Qin."

Hu Tu: "..."

Confused and speechless, he took a "black pot" back home.Since he accepted Jia Zhen's quota of Wu Xiucai, he went to Beijing with his family again, bought a courtyard house on Rongning Street, and settled down.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his mother picking out styles with the maids, each talking about what he liked.

"Is this making clothes?" Hu Tu asked.

"Although my son can wear silk and satin in a fair manner now." Mrs. Hu was happy, "but now I'm not choosing for you. I'm choosing for Master Zhen and his family. Brother Rong likes the three young masters of the Tang family very much alike. Clothes, it’s not that I have free time, I just want to make an identical set of family clothes for their family of three. This idea has already been discussed with Mr. Zhen and Mrs. Tang, and they agreed. Hey, this family is busy. Brother Rong looks very distressing."

"Their family has a sewing room, mother, how sad it is for you to embroider and cut by yourself."

"Our family also has a sewing room! Can it be the same?" Mrs. Hu scolded with a straight face: "Not to mention the kindness of the Ning Mansion for your support, it's Brother Rong. I like it just by looking at it, and I can't wait to abduct you home! We don't stop you, and you don't stop your mother from fantasizing about my fat grandson."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." Hutu chuckled and said, "I know, you are thinking about the child. I have discussed it with Yu'er. After our business stabilizes, we will think about it from us." Adopt one from each tribe."

"It's good to raise one!" Mrs. Hu heard the words, and looked at her son who was serious about planning for the future even though he was joking, she couldn't help but panicked, and hurriedly said: "There are too many children. Although it is lively, the palms and backs of the hands are uneven. It hurts all the children, as well as your hearts. If our family can adopt one from the Fu family, then we will be a scholarly family."

Before the martial arts test, the master had already told her that Jia Lian, the real head of the Jia family, had come to them to help them clean up the past.Now for the future of the child, for the future of the child, just bite.Anyway, their close relatives have passed away, and no one knows about their past, and no one knows that this child is not their own.

"Yes, a scholarly family!" Mrs. Hu clapped her hands and sighed, "How wonderful this is!"

"Mother, what are you talking about, maybe I am more capable, and I will ask you to come back after being named Marquis."

"Don't, don't, don't worry about going to the battlefield, don't try your best. You are a family man." Mrs. Hu nervously dragged herself, emphasizing: "We don't want to be rich and powerful. , but please be safe and secure."

"Mother, I'm sorry, I was wrong." Hu Tu gave up his original suspicion of seeking proof, held Mrs. Hu in his hand, and said very solemnly: "Father always said, Xiao Fu will be safe."

"That's right, that's the reason." Madam Hu patted Hutu's shoulder, and said with satisfaction on her face, "After your palace test is over, let's ask Mr. Qiuzhen and the others to find a way to clear things up so that you and Yu'er can be together as much as possible. Or there are those who don't want to be officials or generals after passing the exam, you and Yu'er will be the headhunters. You husband and wife are together, so we can feel at ease."

"Of course, these are just some of my mother's selfishness. The way to go in the future depends on your own choice." Madam Hu took a deep breath and said, "Let's not talk about these, let's help my mother to choose together. This capital city What style is popular in the noble circle?"

"I think let Brother Rong choose what he likes. Anyway, the child looks good and looks good in anything."

"No sincerity, you have to choose one that makes him more handsome."

Hu Tu: "This is difficult."

"I also find it difficult, so I simply change one set every day. I will make one set by myself, and let the embroidery workshop do the rest." Mrs. Hu clapped the case.

"En." Just as Hu Tu was nodding his head, he saw Jia Rong striding forward. His plain Taoist robe was replaced by an elegant Confucian robe, and his eyes sparkled eagerly: "Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu, martial arts Take me to see the imperial examination, okay? Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu Tu! Aunt Yu agrees."

Dazed for a moment, the moment Jia Rong came, his mind suddenly went blank for no reason, his expression and tone seemed... as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Ah...Master, I was wrong." Jia Rong grabbed Hu Tu's collar and hid behind the person: "Master Yu, don't be angry! Sex is emptiness, emptiness is sex, whether it is a man or a woman, it is an aunt."

Being dragged back to his senses, he bent down in a daze, picked up Jia Rong with one hand, stretched out his hand to pinch his flushed face, "You, you still dare to tease Master?"

"Same as you!" Fu Yu slapped Hutu's hand away angrily, hugged Jia Rong with one hand, and said, "This kid, let him wear a school robe and make a fuss like you."

"No, I was very good when I was young."

Fu Yu: "Hehe."

Jia Rong followed suit.

The room laughed.

Hutu's drooping eyes blocked the trace of confusion in his eyes, he always felt that this scene had happened before.

At the same time, Jia Zhen walked into the gate of Hu's house quite familiarly, holding the ticket to watch the martial arts, and saw Jia Rong nestled on Chuan Lu, very beautiful.Apart from his marriage, Mr. Zhen had good luck in other things. He helped the big house by relying on his dandyism. As a result, the big house flew out of the Wenqu star champion, and then thought that it would be a waste to keep his quota, so he helped someone who was pleasing to the eye. The children of merchants and merchants, in the end, they passed on the story by the way.

Waving her hand to avoid everyone's salute, Jia Zhen cut to the chase and said, "In the last martial arts exercise, in addition to the fact that all civil and military officials will accompany the emperor to observe and bring a family member to the competition, there will be some additional places open. Bring one or two children into the venue to observe. However, "

Speaking of this, Jia Zhen paused on purpose, with a proud face on her face: "There are three places in our group of four kings and eight males. Hutu, here are you. It just so happens that the three of you can go together. This practice competition is quite exciting. They will all join in the fun."

"Thank you, Mrs. Zhen." Madam Hu bowed down excitedly after hearing this and thanked her.According to regulations, participating Gongsheng students can only bring one family member into the venue to observe.The couple discussed it, and felt that it was safer for Fu Yu to enter the arena.

"You're welcome." Jia Zhen waved her hand and said, "It's fine for you to go with Brother Lian and the others. Uncle She loves to be lively, so he must wear a noble robe to grab the best viewing spot. I have to watch him now .Actually, from above, it’s not lively at all, but other places are cool and you can gamble.”

"Father, I want to go too." Jia Rong shouted.

"Go? Find someone who can take you, and you go." Jia Zhen glanced back at Fu Yu, and Jia Rong immediately said, "Master and aunt can take care of me."

Fu Yu's face turned red.

"Haha, smart, follow me!" Jia Zhen heard the words and said beautifully: "I think back then, when your father and I went there for the first time, I asked my aunt to take care of it. But she..."

He never dared to forget that scene!

The aunt put him and brother Hu directly on the top of the mountain, and went to pick the fruit by herself, intending to watch it while eating, but it disappeared as soon as she picked it. In the end, it was the big inner secret agent who saw that Shijia had gone up the mountain, so she took them down and put them on the mountain. The flag that smelled of urine was inserted back.

Feeling that this room is also her own, Jia Zhen smiled happily and said: "...you go and find out, this is still one of the top ten unsolved mysteries. The flag was actually soaked in a boy's urine by my younger brother. .”

Hutu's eyes flashed, followed by a smile.

====

Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.In the study room of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Jia Lian rubbed Wenwan walnuts, "Outside the members of Hu, we all hope that tomorrow will be smooth sailing, otherwise, you have to be careful not to reveal any clues, so that people will see through it in advance."

"Thank you, Second Master Lian, for your help. This old man still has some abilities." Hu Yuanwai said with a flash of light in his eyes.No one can touch his wife and children.

"Wai Yuan, as soon as he walks out of this door, he becomes apprehensive and frightened." Jia Lian said, "Of course, it's fine to look like a villain. The person who is planning to set up Hu Tu behind this scene probably knows that the King of Qin has accepted Hu Tu as his apprentice. So The appearance of you relying on something may make them even more proud."

"Second Master Lian, you don't have a child yet, so you don't understand what it means to be a father." Member Hu laughed when he heard Jia Lian's mood pointing out: "That man must know my Hu family in great detail. I'm just such a son. Ah, no matter whether he is capable or not, if this father knows that he will harm his child because of his past, he will only be distraught and regretful."

"Then I won't provoke Lu Ban's door. In short, Hu Yuanwai will adapt to the situation tomorrow." Jia Lian smiled.When he sent Xing'er to assist Jia Zhen to go south, he had already followed the clues and investigated the origin of the muddle.

An abducted child.

If it hadn't been for Jia Hu's early death, everyone would have seen it, and the remains of that accident would have been gathered together for burial, and he could not wait to dig Jia Hu's grave to find out.

After sending Hu Yuanwai away, Jia Lian looked at the sky, closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, then went to the wedding room with the design drawing he had been pondering for many days.

Because of Situ Le's secrets, there has never been a need for people to take care of this place, and the house was designed to absolutely isolate the outside world from eavesdropping.

"Jia Lian, you..." Situ Le, who was lying on the bed pretending to be in pain, saw Jia Lian approaching with a gloomy expression, and was puzzled, "I just gave Uncle Xi a piece of watermelon, and I definitely didn't eat too much."

"Change to call him father!" Upon hearing Situ Le's address, Jia Lian had no choice but to say, "No wonder my father kisses his father-in-law every day, and his father-in-law shouts!"

"It's not just the two of us in private."

"You have to get used to it in private, so you don't miss out." Jia Lian stretched out his hand and passed it over: "I said earlier that you and I are now one body. Both are damaged, and both are prosperous. I will not keep this from you."

"Hetu Luoshu, this..." Situ Le frowned: "Isn't this movement too big? What's more, aren't you ambitious?"

"Your Highness, what is inheritance? The inheritance of power at the beginning is based on the abdication system."

"You are challenging today's secular concepts." Situ Le spoke solemnly and said solemnly: "You can't reveal your ambitions as long as the sixth uncle is in power. Only when his princes succeed to the throne can you be properly forced Instead."

"I also know this truth. It was just an example." Jia Lian said: "The foundation I have worked so hard to build, can it be given to outsiders if it is not given to my children? I am building momentum for the present, and I am also building momentum for myself, and then those Princes, you will be unable to sit still."

While talking, Jia Lian told Situ Le what he had learned from Shangguan Jingyu.

The corner of Situ Le's mouth twitched: "You wouldn't have revealed this news, would you? With your temperament, once the Hu family and his wife entered Beijing, you would have found out all eighteen generations of his ancestors. Otherwise, you wouldn't have let them Live on Rongning Street."

Jia Lian smiled and said nothing.

Situ Le gritted his teeth: "It's weird, don't laugh, you plan to watch the martial arts competition tomorrow, let me explore the way first? But don't mention the miracle, digging an underground palace under the Zhuangyuan's mansion is not difficult It’s too big. Where will the excavated soil be transported? This is a busy city, with sewers and rivers everywhere, even if you dig all the way from the outskirts of the city, it may collapse.”

"Because..." Jia Lian felt more at ease when he heard people muttering. He didn't find the wrong partner at the beginning, so he smiled slightly and said, "I found the secret room that was nine thousand years old."

"Eh, cough..." Situ Le was stunned: "Are you sure? I heard from my father that before Liu Jin's mansion was divided into six, the Ministry of Industry was only three feet away from digging the ground, and nothing was dug up."

"That's because they are stupid." Jiuqiantui said unceremoniously.
