The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

Fortunately for Ji Wen, Lin Chen has always been very appreciative of all kinds of women around the Prince's Palace. Although he now knows that Jia Yuanchun's existence is a bit disturbing, he doesn't take her seriously and use it to make fun of her It's fine with Ji Wen a few times.Besides, he is now in charge of the household department, and he also has to worry about the Lin family's business in the northwest, and also guards against the Gu family's betrayal at a critical juncture. What about the woman in Ji Wen's backyard?

Today Lin Chen met Xie Qing who had just returned home in the study outside, and he brought a post from the Jia family at the door, saying that Jia Lian invited him to drink.In recent years, Lin Chen has often pocketed money under the nose of Prince Zhongshun in the name of Jia Lian. Now that he is posting a post to treat guests, Lin Chen naturally wants to give him this bit of face.

Since it was said to be drinking, Lin Chen was not the only guest invited by Jia Lian. When Lin Chen passed by, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Feng Ziying, Shi Guangzhu and a few familiar dudes had already taken their seats. Seeing Lin Chen coming in, They all smiled and wanted to drink the groom's official wine.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Brother Lin, didn't you irrigate enough on the day you got married? You're going to make trouble now."

Lin Chen picked up the wine glass with a smile, and after drinking three glasses in a row, he smiled and said: "Please wait, everyone, Lin is willing to punish himself for three glasses. As for the extra, there is no more." Then he put down the wine glass, He sat down on Jia Lian's lower right, facing Feng Ziying.

As soon as he sat down, Baoyu pulled someone over and introduced to everyone present: "This is the one I mentioned a few days ago, and so is Leng Erlang of the Liu family." Then he smiled at Lin Chen, "others I don't know who he is, Cousin Lin must have never seen him before." Then he introduced everyone present to Liu Xianglian one by one.

Liu Xianglian has always liked to put on a play and pretend to be a little girl, she is the most romantic character.Apart from Lin, Feng, and Shi, the people sitting at the table are all well-known dandies in the capital, who like to play with the wind and play with the moon the most. How could they have never heard of Leng Erlang's reputation? Even Jia Lian was right. He has admired him for a long time, but he is cold and arrogant, and it is difficult for everyone to make friends with.This time it was recommended by Baoyu, and naturally they all gathered around to talk to him, and Lin Chen and Feng Ziying were the only ones drinking together.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "This Leng Erlang is a character who dared to refuse even the post from the county prince's mansion. Baoyu and him are very friendly."

Feng Ziying glanced at Liu Xianglian who was surrounded by everyone with a cold face, and said with a slight smile: "It's just a shabby martial artist, because of his good figure and face, people are willing to give him some face, and he really treats himself as a dish. "Different from the younger generation in Beijing who admire the south wind, Feng Ziying hated the nasty things among these men the most in his life, but Liu Xianglian became famous because of this, so he naturally couldn't understand it.

Seeing his disgusted face, Lin Chen just smiled and raised his glass without saying anything.

As soon as Jia Lian turned around, he saw Lin and Feng sitting there motionless, as if they couldn't see the excitement here.He knew about Feng Ziying's strange problem, so he didn't say anything when he saw him sitting still, but why did Lin Chen also look like he was not interested?Leng Erlang's reputation. Who in the capital knew that Lin Chen was not interested in these things?

Jia Lian was afraid that he did something bad with good intentions and offended Lin Chen, and worried that Lin Chen was just shy and embarrassed to approach him to make friends.

He rolled his eyes, smiled and leaned forward to toast Lin Chen's wine, and when Lin Chen stood up to drink, he said: "Brother Lin, you don't like to go out, maybe you don't know the reputation of Leng Erlang in the capital. He My Xiaodan is not bad compared to Qiguaner."

Hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly pulled Liu Xianglian over, and said with a smile to Lin Chen, "Erlang is not only good at acting, he is also very good at riding and kicking. In my opinion, it's just about punching and kicking." , among our group of people, he is the one who is comparable to Brother Feng and Cousin Lin."

Feng Ziying just wanted to say "he is the person on the door plate, and he deserves to be called us", but Lin Chen gave him a wink, so he could only sneer and drink in silence.

Because Baoyu admired Lin Chen very much on weekdays, in fact Liu Xianglian had a very good impression of Lin Chen. Seeing that he didn't surround her like those dudes today, her impression was even better.So when Baoyu finished talking, he poured himself a full glass of wine and signaled to Lin Chen.

Calmly glanced at Jia Lian, who was full of smiles, Lin Chen got up and drank the wine toasted by Liu Xianglian, and said with a smile, "I have admired Erlang's name for a long time, and I will see you today. Fortunately, fortunately. It's just that I already have some wine today." I really don't dare to drink any more, and I hope to learn Erlang's tricks next time." He put down his wine glass and was about to sit down.

In fact, Liu Xianglian is still very popular in the capital, usually the dandies are begging Liu Xianglian to play a role in their own hall, so that Leng Erlang can sing with two voices, and it will also save face when speaking out.Jia Lian also saw that he was born well, had a good reputation, and was a son of an aristocratic family (although he was in decline), not as dirty as a little opera actor, so he bluntly brought him in front of Lin Chen, but he didn't want to, Lin Chen It was so shameless.

It was the first time for the arrogant Leng Erlang to offer a toast, and he was disgusted by others. He immediately sneered, gave Jia Lian a hard look with an embarrassing smile on his face, dropped the cup and left, Baoyu hurriedly Follow up and intercede.It would be embarrassing to leave Jia Lian alone.

Jia Lian is not a fool. Although Lin Chen's actions in the Northwest these years have been hidden, he can't hide all of them from his eyes.When he first found out that Xie Qing was secretly in contact with people from the desert, he was frightened to death, and then hated Lin Chen who dragged him into the thief boat. just come over.However, after Duke Dun became Prince Zhongdun, he came to his senses and realized that since he had already boarded this master's boat, he could only follow one road to Hei, and had no chance of disembarking.

When he figured it out, Lin Chen, whom he hated to the bone, became a favorite. Every day, he thought about how to please this cousin, so that Prince Zhongdun could also remember him as a character. heart.

It's a pity that Lin Chen and Prince Zhongdun look the same, they seem to have a very easy-going temperament, but in fact they are very self-willed. Jia Lian just lost the opportunity to surrender, and the two can always defend with him until now.Especially that Prince Zhongdun, as if it was a fake that he worked for him in the northwest all these years, he was not at all in his eyes.

Later, he accidentally found out that Lin Chenya was good at Nanfeng, and recalled how enthusiastic he was when he ran to the Prince's Mansion, so he had vague doubts about the relationship between him and Ji Wen, but after thinking about it The same is true for Baoyu and King Beijing, and he is relieved.

Jia Lian was also forced to be helpless by the neglect of the Prince's Mansion for years, so he came up with the stupid trick of pimping Lin Chen.

As soon as Lin Chen sat down in the carriage, he couldn't hold back his laughter.His book boy servant Yan hurriedly made fun of him: "Master is in a good mood today, and Er Ye Lian must have spent his money this time." On their table alone, there are many rare and rare foods that are rarely available in normal times. I don't know where to go for luxury.

After listening to his words, Lin Chen laughed again and finally stopped.Patting Shi Yan on the head: "Well, Jia Lian really lost his money this time." Not only did he lose his money, he even lost his face.

----------Dividing line--------

Zhongdun Palace.

Lin Chen and Ji Wen were drinking together. He first told Ji Wen about Jia Lian's affairs, and then said: "I heard that there is another life lawsuit in their house, otherwise Jia Lian wouldn't be in such a hurry. You don't want the face of the family. You have hung him up for a long time, and Jia Lian is also a capable person in business, so he may be useful in the future."

This is pleading for Jia Lian.

Although Lin Chen has always been in charge of Northwest affairs, Ji Wen also knows the huge economic benefits and political rewards involved.This is also the reason why although he refused to accept Jia Lian's surrender clearly, he never moved away from him.It's just that Lin Chen, who has always disliked the style of the Rongguo Mansion, would take the initiative to intercede with Jia Lian. Ji Wen inevitably associated Lin Chen's change with Liu Xianglian.

With such an idea in mind, Ji Wen would naturally not have any interest in accepting Jia Lian: "Although this Jia Lian is still useful now, their big family is too distressed. If they are really recruited, they will not be able to do so in the future." Know how much trouble there will be."

Although what he said was angry, it was also true.This year alone, the Rongguo Mansion has been involved in several lawsuits, and their family's phoenix eggs are still entangled with the king of a foreign county. Ji Wen doesn't want to have such an ally with braids.The more Ji Wen thought about it, the more reasonable she felt, and the more righteous her gaze towards Lin Chen became.

Lin Chen poured him a glass of wine with a smile: "Although Jia Lian has no fame, he is also a rare smart person, and he is still loyal to you. If he hadn't covered up for you and me in Pingan Prefecture all these years, the Northwest matter would not have happened." It will be so smooth. As for the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian said that he is the grandson of the eldest house, but he can't say anything."

As the heir to the Duke's mansion but reduced to a handyman for his uncle and aunt, Jia Lian couldn't have no resentment in his heart.He was willing to follow Ji Wenqian, probably because he wanted to be able to talk at home.Only people like him who want to seek help from the Prince's Mansion can Ji Wen control them better.

Everyone understands the truth, but Ji Wen is still entangled in Liu Xianglian's matter. Lin Chen didn't say it sooner or later, and he just waited to meet Liu Xianglian before he came to be Jia Lian's lobbyist, saying that he didn't care about Liu Xianglian's face No one believes it.

"What are you thinking about? How could I like Liu Xianglian's hypocritical aloofness?"

Lin Chen's dumbfounded voice suddenly sounded in his ear, and Ji Wen looked up in shock, only to realize that she had spoken her heart unconsciously.He was extremely embarrassed for a moment, and he froze on the spot, not knowing how to end it.

Ji Wen valued him so much that he even wanted to eat the non-existent vinegar, Lin Chen couldn't be happier.

Although he wanted to see more of His Royal Highness's embarrassing and shy appearance, he at least knew that it was not appropriate to tease him at this time, so he changed the subject generously: "My lord, don't forget that the daughter of the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion is still here." In this palace, even if the prince doesn't want to get involved with the Jia family, I'm afraid the Jia family will recklessly post it."
