[Red Mansions] The prince is polite

Chapter 19 Jia Lian's Errand

Xiaoliu, who returned to Jia's mansion in the late evening, didn't want to move at all. He didn't even eat a few mouthfuls of dinner, so he didn't have the strength to move anymore. He carefully checked his inner thighs, applied the plaster evenly, put him back into his clothes and stuffed him into the bed, lowered the curtain, and stepped out of the screen to invite Taiji, "Why is this young man always getting scratched when riding a horse?" What's the matter? I only suffered for a short time back then, and after a few scabs, it will be fine."

Taiji was stunned, hesitated for a while, and then asked a little uncertainly, "I'll ask someone to put on the sweatproof horse cape again later, and add a few more layers of breathable and silky brocade inside. In hot weather, you can't put other pads on it. Otherwise, the horses will be uncomfortable, and people will be hot when sitting on them.”

Yinzhen was silent for a while, "It may be that the sixth younger brother is too nervous to go back and ride a horse, his legs hang down and relax unnaturally, and he has to stick close to each other for as long as he trains... It's okay, you can go down."

Taiji bowed and saluted, but did not leave. Yinzhen listened to what happened after Taiji left with a cold face, and nodded, "Since Shi Taijun can be cruel, let Jia Lian report to the admiral of the nine gates. According to the regulations, there is no need to reveal my name, just say that I was reborn by a dude. If I can’t change my old habits, I will arrange for him to be a small soldier guarding the city gate, and I will be pointed at and pointed at until I die of old age. You also tell Shi Taijun this."

Taiji Deling bowed and retreated, found an expert and whispered to him a few times, watched him nodding and pulling his horse to leave the mansion, and also summoned a sedan chair to Jiamuyuan.I saw Jia Lian kneeling weakly in the middle, and Wang Xifeng, who was kneeling beside her, crying and begging the cold-faced mother of Jia. Beside her was kneeling a sobbing little aunt Ping'er. Walking back and forth, sighing, Jia Sheren was clearly not thinking about it even though he was sitting there, while Jia Zheng was holding a cup in his hand and frowning, but Yuanyang also had tears in his face.

Amidst the quiet cries, Taiji appeared conspicuously in a flag dress among the many Han clothes. Jia Mu rushed up to meet him. Taijifu saluted and whispered a few times, and then glanced at the calm and calm Daiyu glanced at her, nodded slightly, and retreated.

Jiamu knocked on the ground with her walking stick, and although she hit the carpet without making a sound, her crying stopped for a while, "Brother Lian will go to the yamen of the infantry commander to report tomorrow. Let Shangfeng appreciate something, just guard the city gate for the rest of your life, or I will apply to transfer you to the garrison camp and go to the severe cold desert."

Jia Lian looked shocked, and dragged his knees that had been numb for a long time to climb up the ancestor's thigh in fear. Just as he was about to speak, Jia's mother gently stroked the top of his head with soft eyes, straightened the messy skirt, and patted Then he said: "Go, don't be like your father, don't you want to be the uncle of the country? You might as well fight for your own future, maybe you will be looked at differently, so you won't be too embarrassing."

"But the old ancestor..." Seeing that Jia Lian was still begging, Jia's mother turned cold, "It's a good fortune not to let you go to the Lutou Camp for those who don't understand, the infantry commanded all the people in the yamen. You don’t know what kind of people they are. Even a small gatekeeper may be a royal relative who has come to experience. They will be the people around the emperor in the future. It will be bad for you to eat and live with these people all day long. Step back, rest early, Feng girl, you don't need to take care of him, just bring some scattered money."

Then everyone retreated suddenly, and Jia Lian, who was originally reluctant, also had a little joy on his face, thinking that it would not be so shameful to be a gatekeeper, not to mention that the worst thing was to patrol the streets, where he could feel at ease. Very much, eating, drinking and having fun with the royal family is much better than empty fame.Wang Xifeng also had a happy face, and confessed directly to Jia's mother. Jia's mother didn't wave her hand until she got impatient and asked her to have a good talk with Jia Lian.

As soon as Jia Amnesty finished listening, he clapped his hands, turned around and left, while Jia Zheng twirled his beard, loosened his brow knots, and nodded to his ancestor knowingly, thinking that all these days had passed, and all his colleagues at the peak were As usual, the home was peaceful, only the shop was sealed off, and the shopkeeper and his wife were taken away. It seems that the two elder brothers are also tolerant and clear-eyed.Glancing at Madam again, he waved her to go back first, and asked in deliberation, "Old Ancestor, when Brother Lian goes, if there are important arrivals, foreign affairs liaisons in the manor, and he handles the provincial hospital alone Yes, can someone choose to replace him?"

Jia's mother shook her head, "There is nothing wrong with this juncture, especially now that we have to build a family home for nobles, Jia's house will close its doors to thank guests from now on, just say that we are grateful for the great kindness of the emperor, and we don't have to worry about it. You wrote it and posted it at the outer door. As for this other courtyard, you and Brother She are together. You and him handle the purchase, hiring, supervision, and acceptance here. And you Madam is also a money grabber, so don't let her touch the money. If you don't have enough money, you can ask her for it yourself. If you are rude, you can just say: "You have received someone's dowry, but you are silent. There is absolutely no such cheap good thing." It's better to spit it out early and save your life."

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, but after a little thought he figured out what was going on inside, and hurriedly asked: "But she and Brother Lian, who went to pick him up, swallowed all the money of the Lin family? Did those two elder brothers know about it? Don't worry, my brother-in-law is on the emperor's errand, and the court must know how much money is left. No, this is a serious crime. I can't just watch Jia's family being questioned, let alone drag the nobleman down. I will discipline him right away. "After speaking, he lifted his hem slightly, and walked away quickly with an anxious look on his face.

Jia Mu glanced at the smiling mandarin duck although she was tearful, and sneered, "Do you have a secret tune? I remember that there was a very good thing last year, and it was given by the emperor. Why did I write it down yesterday?" Go and see, if it’s not in the storeroom, it’s not on display? But I heard Baoyu say that I got the things in Feng girl’s room? He also wants to play for Little Sixth Master.”

Yuanyang knelt down, kowtowed her head knowing she was guilty, but she also gritted her teeth and refused to admit that she had an affair with Jia Lian, but she heard Jia Mu say again: "Don't think you are my only big maid. If you are used to serving, you have to rely on you. My eyes have seen many things. You look down on the old man, but on his young, handsome and generous son, don't you? I can do anything Pretend not to know, only self-assessment is not allowed, why should I want a slave who is not with me? In the future, my warehouse will be emptied, what will I leave for my children and grandchildren? Leave the warehouse key, I I won't punish you either, but I'll let someone save you when I turn around, and go with Ping'er."

Yuanyang panicked immediately, and continued to kowtow and say, "The old lady is merciful, the slaves don't dare anymore, Second Mistress Lian is a fairy-like person, I definitely don't dare to have the thought of serving Second Master Lian with her , the servant is no longer confused," said and took off a key that was tightly tied around her waist, and held it to the old lady, "The servant does not ask for anything in vain, but I only ask the old lady for mercy. The family gave birth to a son, born as a member of Jia's family, and died as a ghost of Jia's family, please don't drive me out, old lady."

"I know your thoughts, and the cost of food and clothing is much better than that of many serious ladies outside, so you have cultivated your heart to be proud, but your life is thinner than paper. The calligraphy and painting you talked about that day were cherished by the Dongfu. The uncle wanted to go, but he didn't come to ask me, thinking that you had understood something, who would have thought that you not only fell in love later, but also became interested in the back house, and now you just want to please others with my belongings. Yuanyang, now I have fulfilled your wish with grace, but what do you want from me? You also grew up by my side, thinking that you have no father or mother, I take pity on you like a grandmother, and let you enjoy all this as it should be , and entrusted such an important thing to you, what do you give me in return? I always want to choose a good marriage for you before I die, and live the future life smoothly and beautifully, which is my last to you gift."

The voice in Jia Mu's mouth became lower and lower as she spoke, and at the end there were tears in her eyes, and she waved her hand at the mandarin duck, "Don't worry, I know that Feng girl is strong and jealous, but you also gave her dissatisfaction." There are less benefits, she is better than Ping'er, she won't lose you, go." After finishing speaking, ignore her, just let the little maid come in to serve and sleep.

Yuanyang stood up with a dazed expression, ignoring the constant shouting behind her, "Sister Yuanyang..." and just wobbled towards the side room.When she saw the little maid holding a cup of hot tea and still calling her sister enthusiastically, tears finally broke down, and she lay down on the bed and cried all night.
