Master of Karma in the Red Chamber
Chapter 28
Zhang Dianshi opened his mouth, stared at the front with both eyes dazedly, and was speechless for a long time.He felt as if two sharp knives had been pierced into his left and right ears at the same time, and the pain penetrated his entire head. He couldn't think anymore, and his body was numb.As if he was going to die, his mouth didn't listen to him at all.And his situation at this moment is no different from death.
Seeing how ugly Zhang Dian's incident was, all the onlookers tried their best to hold back their laughter, which made the scene even quieter, creating a strange and depressing atmosphere.
Zhang Dianshi felt that everyone's expressions were full of sarcasm, and everyone's eyes were about to swallow him alive.
Seeing Zhang Dian's matter, Yang Feikuan had nothing to say, so he swept him calmly and sent everyone to disperse.Zhang Dianshi chased after his head in embarrassment, and knelt on the ground motionless.
Seeing this, Yang Feiqian narrowed his eyes.Then a test envoy came up, pulled Zhang Dianshi, and urged him to leave quickly.
Zhang Dian hung his head unwillingly and was half dragged away.Before the last step of leaving, he turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of Yan Liang from the corner of his eye.Coincidentally, I just found that the other party was also looking at me.
Yan Liang's eyes smoothed over Zhang Dianshi's body lightly, his face was expressionless and indifferent, but it was like a fierce tiger, very intimidating.
Zhang Dian's heart trembled, his teeth chattered, and his legs fell down as if he had stepped on cotton.Kao Shi was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so he immediately grabbed Zhang Dianshi's arm and dragged him away.
Yang Feikuan was even more dissatisfied with Zhang Dianshi when he saw that Lin wanted to leave and made moves.Instead, he patted Yan Liang on the shoulder with a smile, and praised him for his ability, "You have just entered the Ministry of Officials, and you can inspect the officials to such a fine point.
Yan Liang hurriedly thanked him respectfully.
Seeing that he behaved well, even if he was praised, Yang Fei was not arrogant or impetuous, he was very humble and polite, and he appreciated Yan Liang more and more.There are fewer and fewer people in the officialdom who are as calm as water. Many people just don’t understand that the most taboo of being an official is to be eager for quick success. If you are in a hurry, you will easily make mistakes. Once you make a mistake, you will never be able to get promoted.
"By the way, what are you going to do with that guy?"
"Not yet." Yan Liang said.
Yang Feiqian shook his head with a smile, "What else are you thinking about? Let's dismiss such a person, it's useless to keep such a person. The prince's life is not a joke, and he can't be given a chance."
Yan Liang nodded and looked at Gao Qi.Mu Qi hurriedly picked up the grade book, and drew a big red cross on Zhang Dianshi's name with a cinnabar pen.
However, this result will not be announced until the next year according to the rules.For Zhang Dianshi, this is undoubtedly another big blow.Give an answer and give it a happy time!Constantly guessing, fearful and worrying but at the same time unable to bear a trace of fantasy, this torment is clearly a bottomless pit.
At dusk, Shi Yun came over to say hello to Yan Liang, "I heard that you got the limelight in the first performance test today. How about it, do you want to invite Brother Shi to have a drink to celebrate?"
"But according to orders." Yan Liang said.
"That's refreshing! I've heard that you opened the Guangyuan Building. Since you really agreed, then I won't show mercy."
Yan Liang didn't expect Shi Yun to talk so funny in private, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, you can't eat me poorly."
"It seems that this Guangyuan Building is really making money." Shi Yun smiled and watched Yan Liang get in the car and leave, while rubbing his chin, frowning and thinking seriously, whether he should take out his private house and open a restaurant.
Shi Yun probably thought too deeply and couldn't help muttering.
"Stop dreaming, it's useless." Wu Min appeared next to Shi Yun at some point, and patted him on the shoulder.
Shi Yun was startled, and immediately bounced away, hugging his chest and keeping away from Wu Min, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"You officials are interesting, so stay here to watch the show." Wu Min was full of joy, stretching his neck and looking at the direction of Yan Liang's carriage, full of interest.
"Look at what?"
"Naturally, it depends on the talent, so maybe you are a pig." Wu Min gave Shi Yun a hard look, and said goodbye to Shi Yun proudly with his hands behind his back and his head held high.
When the carriage arrived at Ningguo Mansion, Wu Qiumao jumped off from the back of the carriage and put his foot down.
He helped his master get out of the car, and said: "Master, after you got in the car, another person appeared beside Mr. Wu."
"What clothes?" Yan Liang turned his head to look at him.
"The purple official robe, the specific pattern is not clear because of the distance."
Purple is used by officials of the third rank and above, and today the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the two servants have already left the Yamen, so the ones left can only pretend to see Wu Min, the servant of the Ministry of Industry during the day.
Thinking of this person, Yan Liang frowned and didn't want to think about it.
After dinner in the evening, Yan Liang leaned on the large plain-faced blue satin back of the Luohan couch to read a book.
Jia Zhen came with a gift list in her hand, and asked Yan Liang to have a look.
"This is the New Year's gift list for relatives and friends everywhere."
Yan Liang glanced, "To celebrate the New Year, just send some rice cakes and brocade to each other. Pearls and agates like the Wang family and the Shi family are too heavy, so there is no need."
"But we have been giving away according to this routine in previous years, and the things they give us in return are very valuable, and it would be embarrassing if they are too thin."
"This year we will send it earlier, explain the reason, and let them know that we have changed our habit."
Jia Zhen hesitated.
Yan Liang raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp.
Jia Zhen didn't dare to disobey, so she followed the master's instructions.Ling reported the New Year's arrangements in the mansion this year, although they were not satisfactory, but Yan Liang didn't pick them up, and told Jia Zhen to do it roughly, and as long as major problems were not committed, those minor details could be ignored.
Two days later, news came from the Rongguo Mansion, saying that the residences of the long house and the second house had been officially swapped.In the spring of next year, after Jia Lian marries Wang Xifeng, he will live with his father, Jia She, and walk very close to each other, so it is convenient for him to greet him.However, Mother Jia felt sorry for her youngest son and daughter-in-law, and was considerate of the inconvenience caused by their living far away, so she sent her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, to visit her when she didn't have time before the beginning of spring.
After Jia Amnesty knew about this, she felt that Jia's mother was biased, and hated Mrs. Xing's failure to live up to expectations, so she nagged to Yan Liang about it.
When Jia She finished talking, Yan Liang had already read half of the book.
"What a great opportunity." Yan Liang sighed.
"Opportunity?" Jia Amnesty pondered for a while, then asked Yan Liang wondering, "You mean the old lady is biased, and I'll take this opportunity to make a big fuss?"
"It's your husband and wife's chance to show off." Yan Liang glared at Jia Amnesty bitterly.
Jia Amnesty suddenly realized and figured it out.The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so it would be easy to put this matter on the two sons.The old lady is used to being lively, and now there is no one around to flatter and serve her. As long as they care more about the old lady at this time, the old lady will always notice the change in them.
Jia She was excited, "I'll go back now and tell her to be more dexterous in front of the old lady."
"You must take care of the family affairs, you and I are far away." Yan Liang felt a headache when he thought of Jia Zhen.How can he get rid of this lascivious disease!Jia Zhen seemed to be naturally exuberant in that aspect, and if she let him have a little leisure time, she would be filled with wonderful thoughts and intentions of doing something wrong.
The people Wu Qiumao sent to monitor Jia Zhen found that he always likes to run to Yu Lu's yard every two days after entering the house.Yu Lu is now the chief steward of the Rongguo Mansion, and it is reasonable for Jia Zhen to ask him to discuss things for the Spring Festival.But no matter what, the servant should be called by the master, but there is no reason for the master to come to the door to find the servant.
Yan Liang had already read the account book and servant register in the mansion, and had read it more than once.He remembered that there was an unmarried second girl in Yu Lu's family. Although he didn't know how old she was, according to Jia Zhen's hard work, it was estimated that this girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was just a budding flower.Wu Qiuliang also said that the girl is not in good health, and now she has been raised at home, and has never worked in the mansion.
Yan Liang pondered for a moment, how did Jia Zhen follow her.Wu Qiumao's people did not detect that Jia Zhen had met her, so Yan Liang felt that the incident probably happened in the back house, so he sent his mother-in-law to ask You Shi.
"Yu Lu's family once came to help grandma do needlework and brought her daughter to gain knowledge, but unfortunately, the uncle spotted him." After inquiring about the news, the woman hurriedly told the master.
Two days later, Jia Zhen began to try to find out Yan Liang's tone, expressing his desire to have one more person in his room euphemistically.It is also possible to connect with the room, aunt is the best.
"Father, you see that I have been studying and practicing martial arts in a peaceful manner recently. Although my learning is not exquisite, I have made great progress. It is also the end of the year. Can you reward your son? Of course, if you don't want to, you can just say it, son Just asking, please don't hit me again for this!" Jia Zhen said with a sad face.
"Why bother."
Yan Liang gave Jia Zhen a cold look, and the answer was self-evident.
Although Jia Zhen had expected this, she was still disappointed and went away in embarrassment.
Yan Liang stared at Jia Zhen's back who was reluctant to leave, and saw that he had a new kind of karma, whether it was lust | evil thoughts, or wanting to do something coercive.
The only lucky thing for this guy is that he exists as his own son.
Yan Liang caressed the white jade teacup with his hand, and took a long time to put it down.Dang even set off to Xianghe Street, because every house is busy buying new year's goods at the end of the year, the street is naturally bustling and even more lively.Yan Liang was not interested in anything else, turned east on the street, and there was an open space where jugglers gathered.
Most of the tricky ones are playing tricks like swallowing swords and jumping through fire hoops. It seems that they really have some real kung fu.Yan Liang picked a family that looked very sophisticated, and stood and looked at it for a while.He thought it was very good, so he sent Wu Qiumao to give ten taels of silver.Most of the common people who watched the sideshows would leave after watching them, and they didn't like to give money, but some were happy and generous to give a penny or two, at most five hundred.As for the silver, let alone ten taels, they have never seen even a small piece of broken silver.
Seeing such a large ingot of silver, the juggling boss was overjoyed and didn't know how to express himself, so he came over excitedly to thank him.
"I hire you to do some tricks and help people correct their mistakes, are you willing?
The juggling boss looked at the 50 taels silver note in Wu Qiumao's hand, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Starting from the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, all officials began to take the New Year's Day, which is the holiday for the Chinese New Year, for a total of seven days.
Early this morning, everyone in the juggling class dressed up as ordinary domestic servants and was invited to live in Ningguo Mansion.It was said to the outside world that there was not enough manpower during the Chinese New Year, and people were temporarily dispatched from Zhuangzi to help.
After Yan Liang drank his morning tea, he planned to meet the boss of the juggling class.It is strange that the mother-in-law who sent the message suddenly came to sue, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng brothers came to visit him together.
Seeing how ugly Zhang Dian's incident was, all the onlookers tried their best to hold back their laughter, which made the scene even quieter, creating a strange and depressing atmosphere.
Zhang Dianshi felt that everyone's expressions were full of sarcasm, and everyone's eyes were about to swallow him alive.
