Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty was woken up forcibly, and still had a bit of a temper. He went to Jia Mu's house in a daze and saw Yan Liang was there, so he cheered up.

Jia Amnesty heard Jia Mu's questioning, glanced at Yan Liang, and shook his head hastily, "Which rotten mouth said that he gave the coffin? No, not at all! Well, brother Jing, why did you send me the coffin."

Mother Jia glared at Jia She, "Boss, I will make the decision for you, so don't worry and tell the truth."

"Brother, you can't lie!" Jia Zheng also hurriedly reminded.

Jia Amnesty immediately refuted Jia Zheng, "You man, why did I lie? I'm telling the truth!"

Seeing that Jia Amnesty was not enlightened at all, Jia's mother was panting with anger, her chest rose and fell.

Jia Zheng also panicked, and exchanged glances with Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang went to comfort Jia Mu.

"It's really rare to accuse outsiders without knowing the situation of your own family first." Yan Liang sighed, turned around, found a seat, and sat down calmly.

Jia's mother felt as if she had been slapped in the face in public, her face was hot, she turned her head and dared not look at Yan Liang.

Jia Zheng stood up and said, "I think this matter is strange. If Brother Jing didn't send the coffin, who gave it?"

Jia Zheng turned his attention to Jia Amnesty.

Mother Jia felt that her words were justified, so she agreed, and also looked at Jia She, shifting her anger to Jia She, "Say it! What's going on?"

Jia She clapped his hands and looked like a rascal, "I don't know who it is. I was scared to death when the things arrived, and the two coffin bearers also got sick. I wish I could beat them out quickly. Maybe I'll keep them How many days of interrogation will dirty our Rongfu place?"

It's not clear why this matter happened, but it must be that Jia She offended some hooligans when he went to Fireworks Lane.After all, there is no evidence, Jia Mu and others cannot blame Yan Liang.Jia Mula couldn't bear to apologize, so she pretended to rub her forehead and had a headache, blaming Jia Amnesty for making her worry.

Jia Zheng believed that Yan Liang was the culprit in his heart, but because he had no evidence to reason with, he was unwilling to make amends, and planned to confuse the matter by caring about Jia's mother's headache.

Jia Amnesty stood up suddenly, bowed politely to Yan Liang to make amends, "It's really wrong for you to make a fuss about our family and make you go for nothing. Respect brother, I will make amends for you!"

Yan Liang sneered, "I dare not take it."

Yan Liang glanced at Jiamu, who was sitting in the seat, but she didn't dare to look at him at all.Over there, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang also glanced away, with embarrassing expressions on their faces.Jia Mu is an elder, Yan Liang can't accuse her directly, but he knows where Jia Mu's pain is, Jia Zheng.It hurt her more to poke that one than to tell her directly.

"I was going to talk about it in a few days, but I was called by you today, so let's talk about it at this opportunity. I will clean up the clan tradition in a few days, and everything has rules to follow, so follow the clan rules."

"Clean up the clan style?" Jia Zheng got serious, frowned and pondered for a while, not understanding what Yan Liang meant.

Yan Liang went on to say, "For example, Brother Zheng, you framed me today, you committed the crime of 'disgrace your family' and 'frame your elder brother', it is a great disrespect, and you can be expelled according to the clan rules."

Jia Zheng immediately changed his expression, stood up abruptly, stared at Yan Liang, "What do you mean?"

Jia Mu also turned pale with fright, and glared at Yan Liang.

"You claim to be a scholar, don't you even understand this?" Yan Liang asked sarcastically.

Jia Zheng's face turned pale, and he turned to look at Jia's mother.

Jia Mu frowned and shook her lips.

They all forgot that this guy is still the head of the clan, in charge of the affairs of the Jia clan.In the past, when the old master of the Ning Mansion was here, he often cleaned up the family tradition and was very strict.But when he came to Jia Jing's place later, he didn't care about it at first, except for offering sacrifices, he didn't make any fuss.Later, when he practiced Taoism, his son Jia Zhen was replaced as the head of the patriarch.

Everyone has long forgotten such things as family rules, and even Jia Zheng, who claims to be abiding by the rules, doesn't remember much.

After all, Jia Mu is someone who has experienced the world, so she quickly realized it and said to Yan Liang: "Our two houses are evenly matched. We both inherit the title and respect each other. It stands to reason that no one should make things difficult for each other. Today's matter It is true that we misunderstood first, and my aunt is getting old, so I will apologize to you first. But one thing must be made clear, this is just a misunderstanding, not a frame, and it is not an insult. Besides, even if someone in the clan commits a crime, If the rules are broken, it is impossible for us to remove him because of a single family rule, right?"

"I don't understand what the old lady said. Could it be that you don't like the rules set by your ancestors?" Yan Liang asked indifferently, raising his eyebrows.

Mother Jia hurriedly said she didn't dare, she was so suffocated that she couldn't vent her anger, so she went straight to the top of her head and shook her body, really feeling dizzy.

Mrs. Wang exclaimed that it was not good, and hurriedly supported Jia Mu, and took the opportunity to say that she was out of breath and helped her to rest.

Jia Zheng pointed at Yan Liang, "Jia Yanliang, you are too deceitful!"

"It's the other way around." Yan Liang smiled lightly.

"Heaven and Earth Monarch and Master. I have the official title bestowed by the emperor's grace on me. Don't think that you can suppress me with the status of a patriarch."

Yan Liang was not afraid of this, and retorted Jia Zheng: "In this case, you should lead by example and live up to the saint's expectations. If the saint knows that you are a person who is not fraternal, will he regret giving you an official?"

"You—" Jia Zheng was so angry that he almost spat out blood.

What Yan Liang said was not unreasonable. For example, as the patriarch, he really insisted on killing his mistakes, which would indeed affect his reputation. If the emperor listened to these rumors indiscriminately, it would definitely be of no benefit to him.

Jia She watched the excitement anxiously, not thinking it was a big deal at all.Seeing an opportunity now, they joined forces to bully Jia Zheng, "You say you, why are you so stubborn, hurry up and make amends to brother Jing, the old lady has admitted it, but you don't, you still want to wrong him for nothing ?”

Jia Zheng bit the bullet and cupped his hands, said he was wrong, and left in a haste without shame.

Jia Amnesty took Yan Liang to his side, he held back for a long time, and finally went to his own room and laughed out loud while clutching his stomach.

Yan Liang took the opportunity to look around Jia She's residence, and had to say that it was completely incomparable with the grandeur of Rongxi Hall, even the yard was separated from the garden, which shows how unpopular he is in this house .

"Has the concubine been dismissed?" Yan Liang asked.

Hearing this, Jia She hurriedly bowed to Yan Liang, "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would really..." Jia She suddenly remembered, took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, and pointed it at his neck.The red dot is still there, but it has faded a little.

"But I didn't expect that people like you would lie and tell them that the coffin was not sent by you."

"It was not sent by me, but by someone I hired." Yan Liang sat down at the invitation of Jia Amnesty after finishing his observation.

"Yo, you're playing tricks." Jia She laughed.

"Regardless of the means, as long as the result is good and the process does not hurt others, it is a good thing." Yan Liang is a lazy person, his character is not evil, but he is definitely not a pure and good person.As long as he can dig a shortcut and save effort, he will never take a long way.

"That makes sense." Jia Amnesty nodded in admiration.

Yan Liang looked at Jia She: "Are you sweating a little?"

"I've been having nightmares lately." Jia She wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. "When I close my eyes, I think of the man who suffered from the disease and festered in the ruined temple that day. I'm really afraid of death."

Yan Liang: "It's good to be afraid of death, stop your drinking and sex."

Jia Amnesty nodded.He raised his hands and swore that he would obey the doctor's orders in the future.

Yan Liang nodded, was silent for a while, and asked him, "What do you think of your Pearl?"

"Him? Why do you ask him?" Jia She smacked his lips enviously, "Of course it's good, ten sons are no better than him. Among the grandchildren, he is the most promising, and the whole family thinks highly of him. My second son My younger brother himself has no chance to become an official in the imperial examination, and he regrets it, so he hopes that his eldest son will be able to succeed in the autumn examination next year."

Yan Liang twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, saying that Jia Zhu would not survive the next summer at all.

"You have to visit that child often, and it will be good for you to pay more attention."

"I care about him? I haven't taken care of my own son yet!" Jia Amnesty said with his mouth twisted.

"Speaking of this, I want to ask you even more. You have the time to drink and be lustful, but you don't have the time to discipline your children? Parents behave like children and think your son is worthless. I think you are less promising than him." Yan Liang A letter was stuffed to Jia She, "Do as above every day."

Jia Amnesty opened the letter and saw that there were three items listed on it: first, to set the province in the morning and evening; second, to ask the children at least three times a day, and to test the son's homework once; third, to give the children a gift every five days, Regardless of size.

Jia Amnesty didn't understand that just as he was about to ask, Yan Liang had already got up and was about to leave, and he deliberately left a sigh full of words

"Look at the place where you live, you don't know how to improve it... Anyway, we still have a place in the servant's room of the Ning Mansion."

Jia Amnesty shuddered suddenly after being stabbed in the sore foot.Kick the door in anger, it hurts too much!Jia Amnesty hugged his feet, took a cold breath, jumped to the edge of the chair with one leg and sat down.

Since brother Jing promised to help him, seeing how imposing he is in front of the old lady today, Jia She felt that he was right to listen to him.And when he thought that his second brother might be trampled under his feet, Jia Amnesty was secretly pleased, and decided to follow Yan Liang's instructions.

Although Jia's mother and Jia Zheng were very angry about today's incident, they complained in private for a long time, but in the end they prepared some shallow gifts and sent them to Ning's mansion as an apology.

The Rong Mansion finally calmed down, the days did not change much from the past, only Jia She was different day by day.

……

In November, the first snow of this winter fell, and the surrounding fields were covered with silver, and the pure whiteness covered up the depressed withered yellow, which made people suddenly feel refreshed.

Duan Gaohan, king of An, went to the hunting ground to ride a horse to enjoy the scenery on a whim.

As soon as the news came out, the Stable and Animal Husbandry Department became active, and everyone was busy buying chariots and horses for King An.Naturally, the horse farm where Yan Liang worked was also busy.

Shu Ling personally went to the horse farm to check the condition of the horses.The four pawns, principals and other officials in charge of the horse factory are ranked according to their ranks and accompany them.Yan Liang was only the leader of the Ninth Rank Association, so he naturally followed at the end, just enough for him to see all the people present.

The official ordered his eyes to sweep around the horses, raised his neck and said, "This time, Lord An is going to the hunting ground with Master Qi, and the accompanying officials are above the fourth rank, and their status is honorable. The slightest bit of negligence. Horses should be selected from the top three, and they must be strong and have a gentle temper. Especially the horses of the prince and Lord Qi, you must choose them carefully, and you must not be negligent, otherwise the horses will startle you. Err Waiting for my life to die!"

The officials hurriedly nodded and said yes.

Yan Liang felt that this person was like a clown, very funny.This commander has the evil cause of "killing people's lives", and judging from the results, the identity of the person who is going to kill this guy is quite high. Combined with what is about to happen, it is not difficult to judge who he is going to kill.But now he keeps emphasizing safety again and again, telling everyone to be careful, which is a sign of guilty conscience.Apparently this fellow was planning to play a trick to blame, and to shirk responsibility beforehand.

The order found that the last person in the crowd didn't nod, and immediately pointed out this person in annoyance, "You look new to me, you're new?"

Yan Liang bowed slightly, nodded in agreement.

The official ordered him to look at his style, then assessed his age, and laughed, "I remembered, you are the Jinshi master who was named by the sage to be the co-leader a few days ago!"

In the military officer's place, he called a ninth-rank subordinate a Jinshi master, which was naturally ironic.

The crowd burst into laughter.
