The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Xue Pan, who was deceived by shopkeepers from all over the world, and ruled by a doting widowed mother and fierce wife inside, squandered the tens of thousands of wealth left by his father and grandparents, and was foolish and easy to play. At that time, no one was sincere with him. intersect.Jia Lian also took Xue Pan to make friends with wine and meat for the sake of the second aunt Wang's and Wang's family, so she had the right to support Xue's family.

At first, Jia Lian remembered the matter of that aunt because Aunt Xue served wine and concubines to Xue Pan with great fanfare. At that time, she was teasing with Brother Feng in the room, saying that she didn't know what kind of stunning person he was, who could make Xue Pan a fool. It doesn't count if you are confused, but you can still get Aunt Xue's favor.Said it and left it aside.

It was later that Xue Dafool ​​married the daughter of Osmanthus Xia's family. Once Ping'er thought it was something hurting her, she sighed, saying that the aunt's life was really hard, but she was abducted from a good family. Entered into a life lawsuit, her character and appearance are obviously enough to be a good wife, but she is a concubine to someone like Xue Pan, and she has to be tortured by the royal family.

Because Ping'er never told him much about other things in the courtyard, when he mentioned the aunt named Xiangling or Qiuling, his eyes were red, and Jia Lian remembered this person.Now they are paired with Master Zhen's daughter mentioned in the letter, and their characteristics and ages match.

Gently putting the letter on the table, Jia Lian first slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and then went through the life lawsuit between Zhen Shiyin's family and Xue's family.

The Zhen family is a wealthy family in Gusu. The daughter of the Zhen family was abducted about a year ago during the Lantern Festival, and Xue Dazi got involved in a life lawsuit with someone who robbed the daughter of the Zhen family in Jinling. It should be hiding in the area from Gusu to Jinling.Outsiders are too conspicuous in the smaller county towns and villages, so the kidnapper's den must be in a city full of fish and dragons.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian wrote a letter to the shopkeeper Ma Da.To find someone in a place where the three religions and the nine streams converge, no high-ranking family or official yamen can do it well, and some side methods are needed.

Since the kidnapper abducted the beautiful girl to raise him and then sell it, what if someone would pay a high price for the beautiful girl right now?It is only said that there are businessmen from other places who want to buy people to go back and turn them into skinny horses, and there is a local leader as a guarantee, so that the kidnapper will not be willing to take the bait.

When the time comes to find someone to come back to send their mother and daughter reunion, it can be regarded as a good relationship with the person, after all, it will save one crime.If Zhen Shiyin still has the day to return home, he can still ask about the lame Taoist.

But with the ability of that monk and Taoist... Jia Lian shook his head, but he didn't quite believe that Zhen Shiyin would turn around.

Jia Lian has heard a lot of rumors outside, and he has always believed in his heart that the lame Taoist and the monk with a scarlet head are people with real supernatural powers, but he has never been sure why they save people and how to save them.

In the previous life, they cured Baoyufeng's madness, and the lame-headed monk took Baoyu to become a monk after Jia's family fell. Take one of him.

Thinking about it these few days, Jia Lian always felt that his sudden dream had something to do with the lame Taoist, otherwise how could it come by such a coincidence?And looking at it now, it is really not a blessing to be favored by this Taoist.

Zhen's family suffered catastrophe, Baoyu had no meals when she left, and she ended up with nothing in her dream.

In the past few days, Jia Lian couldn't help but think a lot, worrying whether he was really not tolerated by the gods, and it would be useless to struggle any longer, and the torment and twists and turns were indescribable.

But after Jia Lian couldn't close his eyes for several days, he thought about it.This life is already in vain, if he still can't end well despite all his efforts, he has nothing to say, but if he is to let go and accept his fate now, it is absolutely impossible.

After sending away the envelope addressed to shopkeeper Ma, Jia Lian cleaned his hands with soap locusts, and then wrote books to the Sixth Prince and Lin Hai respectively. He told about the lame Taoist, only blurring the content of his dream and talking about this person. Mysteries and grotesque behavior can be regarded as preventive measures.After all, according to the people of the world of mortals, what this person did was not to separate the Zhen family and his wife, and to put the Feng family in a desperate situation. It is definitely not commendable for Zhen Shiyin to leave.

As Jia Lian wrote the letter, he secretly made up his mind that on the day when his family was ruined and his family was destroyed, his wealth and safety would all be in vain. If the lame Taoist and the skinny monk came to save him again, he would fight for his life and beat them both up. .

With this concern in mind, Jia Lian was at ease studying and practicing calligraphy in Zhuangzi, preparing for the subsequent government examination.With more than half a year of hard study and Lin Hai's guidance, Jia Lian was confident when he got the test papers. He felt that he should be able to pass this subject, but he didn't have much worry and anxiety in his heart.

After the results of the county examination were announced, Jia Lian really won. Although his ranking was not top-notch, it was still in the upper middle.

Jia Lian knew in his heart that this was because of his status as the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, to show respect to the No. [-] wealthy family in Jinling, and also to please Lin Hai, his mentor and uncle.

As for the estrangement of other students because of his status and even the many rumors and slanders, Jia Lian didn't take it to heart.He was born as a son of a wealthy family, and this point remains unchanged, so he is destined to be unable to be friends with students from poor families who are hostile to wealthy families.As for the ones that can be handed over, it is still too early to see more.

Jia Lian thanked the guests behind closed doors in the name of the scientific examination. At first, some members of the tribe didn't think so and laughed at him behind his back.Outsiders don't know, they still don't know?The uncle who can read ended up in Beijing, and I don't know how the second master who said he was going to Jinling to see his ancestral property thought of taking a test.No one thought he could hit it.

Unexpectedly, the second master Lian was really hit.Although he is only a child, he might not be able to win a scholar.No one in Jia's family takes a poor scholar seriously, but if this scholar is the Second Master Lian in the Rong Mansion, it would be very unusual.

These days, the gatekeepers of Chuang Tzu were almost tortured to death by the clansmen who came to give gifts and seek friendship. However, Jia Lian ordered them to come down to see none of them, so they could only invite the clan elders' family members away one by one in a good manner.

If so, more than ten days later, the posters of Xue's family, the number one wealthy merchant in Jinling, and the Zhen's family of Weaving Mansion also arrived one after another, and both of them were distinguished managers.

The Xue family invited Jia Lian to the banquet in the name of the uncle Xue Pan, to congratulate him on his success in the county test, but the wording was old-fashioned, which looked like Master Xue's handwriting.The Zhen family said in the name of Mrs. Zhen's mother, Mrs. Zhen, that they wanted to see the grandchildren of their old in-laws, so they could do their part.

The concierge didn't dare to stop him directly, so he just ran in to ask Jia Lian what he meant, but naturally he refused, which was consistent with what he said to the members of the Jia clan, the way is that the mansion has tried it before visiting, and asked the elders for forgiveness.

The two stewards didn't seem annoyed at all, politely put down the gift they had prepared, said some auspicious words for their master, and led them away.

The Zhenxue family didn't invite anyone, and the Zhuangzi where Jia Lian was staying was completely quiet, except for Lin Hai's letter mocking his ranking in the county examination, and along with the letter came a letter to prepare for his family's examination. The burden, no one came to his door until he went off the court again.

When it came to the opening day of the April mansion test, Jia Lian solemnly enshrined the Jin Ke and the first talisman that Jia Min had asked for him in front of the statue of the saint early in the morning, and kicked Xing'er who was suspicious, and then went to the car with a basket. Exam room.
