The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Compared with the thrilling of Jia She and his party and the calmness of Mrs. Xing, the biggest obstacle Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng encountered came from the Grand View Garden.

When Jia Rong and Jia Qiang went home to report the news, Jia Zhen was in a state of trembling, and got on her horse and ran away in a hurry, without even thinking of an excuse, and even the wife did not go to inform.Jia Rong also only cared about packing up her belongings and left Su Xian behind.Not to mention Jia Qiang, what does the Youshi Hu family have to do with him.

As soon as the pillars ran away, Youshi was also alarmed, and hurried out to check what happened, but he was alone, so he could only be stupid with the cheap daughter-in-law.After all, Mrs. Hu was young, and his mind turned quickly, so he immediately reminded: "Why don't you go to the next door and ask?" Mrs. You immediately woke up and went to the Grand View Garden to inquire.They had no sources of information and could only rely on others. If Wang Xifeng was at home, Needless to say, Youshi would also go to her.But now that she is missing, Youshi can only find Mrs. Shi Taijun to find out what happened.

Shi Taijun didn't see her, and Mrs. Wang casually ordered, "Ask Lian'er." Just confronting Ning Shan, at least in view of the title of marquis, he should be polite in words.

The unlucky Jia Lian hurried towards the north city gate in fear, but was blocked by the people sent by Daguanyuan to look for him on the way.It's also a bit wrong, the Ning's family is just south of the Grand View Garden, and if you want to go to the North City Gate, you have to pass through there, so the Grand View Garden comes first, blocking Jia Lian on the way.

Zhou Rui is Mrs. Wang's most convenient confidant. He usually arrogantly thinks that he can stand up to Jia Lian who is also an errand runner, so he speaks unceremoniously: "Second Wife tells Second Master to go quickly, I have something to order."

Jia Lian thought: I'm going out of the city today, and I don't know if I will come back in the future. I must get angry with you, a dog slave.So he grabbed the horsewhip, stood on the shaft of the chariot, and cursed: "Slave who wants to die, how dare you make a noise in front of the master? If you don't beat me, you will be turned upside down." Zhou Rui's head on the ground was pulled away.

Caught off guard, Zhou Rui was whipped a few times, and shouted while hiding, "Why did the second master hit me?"

The soldier driving the carriage walked over, kicked Zhou Rui to the ground, and shouted: "Second Master hit you to flatter you, I should have come." After finishing speaking, he grabbed Jia Lian's whip and shook it in a half circle in the air, "Huh Hoo" and covered Zhou Rui's head with a ringing sound.

Jia Lian was very happy watching, and kept shouting: "Hit it again, hit it again, the harder the better, I will kill you if you kill me."

Sister Feng raised the curtain and scolded, "Why are you fighting with slaves at this moment? Come back quickly." The noise outside woke up Sister Qiao.When Jia Lian heard her daughter crying, she didn't bother to compete with Zhou Rui, and hurried back into the car. Seeing that the second master didn't care, the soldier kicked Zhou Rui away, and then went back to drive the car.

Zhou Rui was lying on the ground, his head was bloody, and his eyes were full of evil.The whole family was sneaky and didn't know where the second wife was going.When he goes back and tells the second wife, they will definitely not be able to please them. Only then will he know what Uncle Zhou Rui's methods are.

Mrs. Wang was worried about the sudden death of Wang Ziteng outside the city. She wanted to arrest Jia Lian and go to work but couldn't find anyone. She was fueled by Zhou Rui's meal, and she immediately became angry—she went to complain to Shi Taijun. The current Mrs. Wang only has this means left.

Shi Taijun was also woken up in his sleep this morning, but it was someone who was looking for the girls from the Grand View Garden to enter the palace, and he immediately beamed with joy.Originally, after Yuanchun fell out of favor, she had been preparing to train Tanchun and send her to the palace, and the sisters would help each other, but she couldn't find the opportunity for a long time.Unexpectedly, today someone suddenly took a famous post from the palace and called Tanchun and Xiangyun into the palace.These two girls grew up around her, and no matter who was favored, she was the beneficiary.Therefore, on this day, Shi Taijun spent the whole day in apprehension and excitement, and was finally persuaded by Yuanyang to lie down after lunch, and was immediately woken up by Mrs. Wang.

I thought it was good news again, and I was quite happy to let Yuanyang serve the best tribute tea, but Mrs. Wang entered the room with a mournful face, and Shi Taijun told Yuanyang: "Go down, there is no need to wait." Even the tea was not served. , She didn't give up her seat, and let Mrs. Wang have something to say quickly: "Who is sorry for you? With such a face, are you deliberately looking for my old woman's bad luck?"

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and cried: "My poor brother has patrolled the border for several years and worked hard..."

Shi Taijun interrupted impatiently: "It's a pity that Mr. Wang died, but what's the use of crying again? Seriously put away your tears and send Lian'er to Haosheng to inquire about the process and take care of the funeral."

Mrs. Wang immediately said: "Where is Lian'er willing to listen to me now? I sent Zhou Rui to look for him just now, but he not only ignored him, but even beat Zhou Rui up, and even said 'beat him to death'. The old man It's a good saying: 'Beating a dog depends on the owner', where did he hit Zhou Rui? He clearly wanted to hit me, so how dare I say anything."

Shi Taijun said displeased: "I know that Dafang doesn't have any good seedlings, and the one on the left and the other on the right are going to turn the world upside down. Lian'er was considered well-behaved in the past, but she is getting more and more asshole with the old university. Go and call him. scold him."

Mrs. Wang's speed of slander is no slower than Zhou Rui's: "I'm afraid, the old lady is troubled, let someone invite Second Master Lian."

The more she showed weakness, the more prestige Shi Taijun wanted to play. Immediately he called Lai Da and said, "Go and bring back Lian'er's dirty seed."

Mrs. Wang hypocritically said: "Housekeeper Lai, please bring more people there. Lian'er has a lot of strong young men who follow around, so I don't have to hurt you anymore."

Shi Taijun patted the kang table and said angrily: "Lai Da is the person I sent, which bastard dares to do it?"

Lai Dahu went there pretending to be a majestic tiger, and led a strong leader to follow the horses in the street, which happened to block Jia Lian and his party on the only road less than a mile away from the city gate. There were many people coming and going, and Jia Lian was in a hurry. He was furious, but he couldn't fight anymore.Because the cunning Lai Da yelled "The old lady is looking for the second master Lian urgently" before he dismounted, Jia Lian could beat and curse the people sent by his aunt, but he couldn't do anything to the grandmother's people.

Sister Feng anxiously wanted to dismantle Lai Da, but she couldn't show up. Ping'er anxiously coaxed Sister Qiao who kept crying. For a while, I didn't know if I should directly overthrow the person to the ground.What's more unfortunate is that Lai Da's voice was too loud, and he also attracted all the soldiers patrolling at the city gate.

Jia Lian became more and more panicked and had no choice but to scan his eyes left and right, hoping that someone would come out to relieve the situation.But Lai Da got more and more excited when he saw more and more people. He said "the old lady misses the second grandfather and second grandmother", and then "the old lady is sad that her relatives died", and then "I am depressed, looking forward to the second grandfather and second grandmother to go back." "Unfolding", the words were emotional and reasonable, and the onlookers and others talked a lot, as if to smear Jia Lian as an unfilial person.

That's all right, he is a slave after all, and Jia Lian can still deal with him if he really wants to show off.The bad thing is that Lai Da mentioned Wang Ziteng's name, and when Sister Feng in the car heard this, her head swelled up, and she raised the curtain and called Jia Lian: "What's wrong with my uncle? Tell me ah!"

Jia Lian was pinched from front to back, making a fuss and losing his temper. He scolded Sister Feng and said, "Go back, is this where you came from?"

But Sister Feng didn't care about these things, she said it nicely and straightforward, but she was used to doing it badly, and she didn't care about the constraints of noble women not being able to show up in the street, so she simply stepped out and pointed at Jia Lian and asked, "You're hiding the truth?" What are you looking at me for?"

Lai's big eyes rolled, although he didn't understand why Sister Feng still didn't know anything about the news that had spread to Beijing for so long, but this didn't prevent him from judging that the couple could provoke, and immediately said: "So that Second Grandma knows , the master in-law died of a sudden illness, and the body is still lying outside. The old lady's heart hurts badly, and she said that she should let the second master Lian take care of it, but I don't know why the second master has been refusing to go home. This matter..."

When Sister Feng first heard the bad news, she was stunned on the spot, her tears streaming down uncontrollably, and the surrounding audience became even more noisy when they saw it, and even the city gate officials pointed at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was already guilty and timid, and being coaxed by so many people together, it wouldn't be much better if he didn't talk about the two wars.Ning Shan's personal soldiers are not a problem in fighting, but they are not very flexible in verbal warfare. They are incomparable with Lai Da's tricky slaves. They are anxious but can't think of anything. I've come here, if it arouses his disgust, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the city.

Ping'er kept tugging on Sister Feng in the carriage, and persuaded in a low voice: "Second Mistress, the most urgent thing is to get out of the city. Let's talk about the matter of the Eldest Master after we go out." Wang Ziteng called Grand Master.

Sister Feng also came back to her senses, remembering the tension of the journey, she wiped away her tears and said, "Go out first, and we'll settle the score after we get out."

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, turned his mind away, and pointed to Lai Dao: "Master, I went out this time to take care of my uncle's funeral. I just heard about it this morning, and the Ministry of Household Affairs also filed a leave. It just so happened that the old lady also asked me to leave." I'm going to take care of this matter, so you can go and answer the question, Lord, take a step first." After speaking, he got back into the carriage and called: "Go quickly, don't waste time."

The city gate officials listened for a long time, although they were still a little puzzled, but Jia Lian made a good excuse, so he didn't intend to stop them.However, Lai Da's task is to bring Jia Lian back and let Shi Taijun scold him. If he let him go like this, wouldn't he be the one who was scolded?Of course Lai Da didn't do it, he grabbed the shaft of the car and said in his mouth: "Although it is the same thing, but the old lady has other orders, the second master is not in a hurry at this moment, I'd better go back with the slave to see the old lady again Let's go." Everyone in the audience nodded unanimously and said yes, today's world is like this, no matter whether it is a high-ranking official or a wealthy family or a poor person, if the elders in the family dare not listen to what the elders say, they will be reviled by everyone.

Sister Feng anxiously scolded people in the carriage, scolded Lai and Zhou Rui, scolded the slave and scolded the master, and Ping'er was nervously grabbing the tasseled seat cushion under her body, pulling the edges up.Sister Qiao was the most pitiful, she was hungry and tired all day long but couldn't rest, at this moment, listening to the noise outside, she was frightened and cried again.

Jia Lian was completely at a loss, so he had to jump out of the carriage and told his soldiers, "You send Second Mistress out of the city first, and I'll go back and meet the old lady before catching up." I can't go anyway.But we can't drag Sister Feng and Sister Qiao here together, who knows if there will be any changes if we drag it on?Can you still make it?Jia Lian is going all out, at worst, go back and find his elder brother to face the imperial attack together, his wife and children must be sent away.

Sister Feng burst into tears, feeling Jia Lian's masculinity for the first time in her life, with mixed feelings.The little leader of the soldiers pondered for a while, sent out half of the people to go out of the city with the car, and personally escorted Jia Lian with the rest, saying: "The general ordered us to protect the second master's family, and we must not let the second master go back alone." Jia Lian climbed up weakly. A horse, too lazy to say anything, galloped towards the Grand View Garden, Lai Da was left behind, caught off guard and ate a mouthful of ashes from the horse's hoof.

All the soldiers followed Jia Lian at a gallop, turned around an intersection, and saw no one around, Jia Lian suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, everyone stopped quickly, and asked in one voice, "Why did the second master stop here?" gone?"

Jia Lian turned back with a smirk and said, "Brothers, I'm sorry to bother you, I'll clean up those dog slaves right here."

A small soldier shouted: "Second Master, do you plan to go back?"

Jia Lian laughed more ferociously and said: "Yes, a bunch of complaining girls, I won't serve you anymore."

The leader of the soldiers praised: "This is like the general's brother, with blood. Okay, the second master stands aside, let's be rude, don't get bloody."

Lai Da, who has run rampant in Jia's family for decades, is finally at the end of his good days.

On the other side, Sister Feng and Heping'er went out of the city, and hurried away until it was almost dark, without daring to stop, the soldiers got off their horses, surrounded the carriage, and said, "Second Grandma, Miss Heping, bear with me, I can't make it to the next place today. , please rest in the car."

Sister Feng raised the curtain and asked, "Second Lord, have you followed?"

It was so dark outside that people's faces could not be seen clearly, only another voice replied: "I never saw it."

Sister Feng's nose was sour, and she almost burst into tears. She turned her head and whispered to Ping'er, "I just said that the second master's family is stealing, raping, and playing tricks all day long. I never thought that he would be so bloody. We came out, but he was trapped in the city. What should we do?" good?"

Ping'er was also flustered, so he just casually said: "With the uncle here, I will definitely not see the second master suffer."

Sister Feng said dejectedly: "What we did was against the will of the royal family. The Supreme Emperor has such a domineering temper, how can he be forgiven lightly?"

Ping'er had no choice but to say: "It's all out now, it's useless to think too much, grandma just take a rest, I'm afraid I still have to go on the road tomorrow."

Sister Feng held Sister Qiao in her arms, put her head to her head, sighed and closed her eyes.Ping'er leaned against the carriage wall, threw his cloak on indiscriminately, buried his head, and didn't make any more noise.

Jia Lian, who was worried by his sweet wife and beautiful concubine, let go of his heart after letting out a bad breath, and simply invited all the soldiers to drink and eat.He has been tossing and tossing for a whole day today, so far he has not eaten a grain of rice, and his stomach is already hungry and thirsty.The leader of the soldiers persuaded: "Second Master, bear with it, go out of the city to catch up with Second Grandma, and we will have dinner at the post."

Jia Lian refused: "What are you afraid of? I won't run away yet." After that, he insisted on eating first, and invited everyone to have a few drinks together, but the cups were abruptly snatched away.A group of people were eating when they suddenly saw a small group of people coming in from outside. They looked like two masters and four dressed as attendants. They sat in the hall and ordered wine and food. Qiang'er, don't you come over to say hello to your uncle when you see him?"

The people who came were Rong and Qiang who were left behind by Jia Zhen. They didn't know what was going on with today's big retreat, so they didn't feel too scared. They packed up step by step and prepared to go on their way.Feeling hungry in the middle of the journey, he also ran to a restaurant to have a meal, and happened to bump into Jia Lian, so he got together, and the meal was not finished, and the two had been fooled by Jia Lian and decided to go north together.
