Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

When the two arrived, Yan Liang saw the reluctance on Jia She's face, so he knew why he was forced to come here.Jia Zheng's demeanor was a little more complicated, with a straight face and soft eyes.

Yan Liang invited the brothers to sit down, drank tea, and waited for the two of them to explain their intentions.

Jia Amnesty opened his mouth to remind first: "It's just a little shit about the Chinese New Year!"

Jia Zheng was unconvinced when he heard this, "Brother, how can this be called nonsense, this is something that my mother seriously told us to come and discuss."

Jia She snorted, and looked away, not bothering to talk to Jia Zheng.What the old lady said, it was clearly Jia Zheng himself who was afraid of accidents in the exam, so he found an excuse to have a relationship with Yan Liang.When the old lady found out, she was afraid of making matters worse, so she ordered him to accompany her.

Jia Zheng turned to Yan Liang and said, "Adhering to my mother's wishes, our brother is here to discuss with you about the year-end sacrifice and the ceremony after the new year. Her old man also said that the ceremony of the royal family this year should not be too thin, after all, the status is there. , and we had trouble with others before."

"The sacrificial ceremony is done according to the rules of previous years. It can be grand, but what does the Wang family have to do with me? I send some small gifts over during the Chinese New Year, just because of the friendship between the two ancestors. It's your Rongfu's business."

Yan Liang's words made Jia Zheng's face darken suddenly, he reminded him so much, it was for his own good, lest he offend Wang Ziteng.Jia Zheng didn't expect Yan Liang to be so ignorant of his kindness.

"Do you really think that you, a mere fifth-rank official doctor, can deal with the Jiedushi? You didn't give him face last time, and he is still angry with you now! It's no good for you to offend him, I'm kind Tell you, but you are like this, that’s all, you can figure it out yourself.”

Jia Zheng couldn't hold back his face, so he was about to walk away.But no one stopped him, so after he paused for a few steps, he could only choose to go out.

"Haha, I knew you were capable, let him run away in anger." Jia She clapped his hands happily, and leaned over to tell Yan Liang another bad thing about Jia Zheng, "Pearl's condition has worsened, and she has to stay in bed often, my second brother But I only went to see him twice, and each time I just told him to recover from his illness quickly and not to delay his studies."

"He also said that Zhu'er's typhoid fever can last for so many days, which is not up to par. You say this is funny, who wants to get sick? You say whether the disease is cured or not depends on the medicine, and it has nothing to do with whether you don't live up to expectations."

"It seems benevolent and righteous, but in fact it is ruthless and ungrateful." Yan Liang disliked Jia Zheng's temperament the most. He thought he was justified, a little too paranoid and rigid, and never repented.On this point, Jia Amnesty is much better than him.

Jia She rolled his eyes and took a sneak peek at Yan Liang, and couldn't help itching, so he urged Yan Liang to play a few games with him.After two fights, Jia She lost consecutively and began to reveal his stinking nature. In the third game, Yan Liang let him play ten pawns.

Yan Liang raised his eyebrows, "Leaving the third son is already a great favor, how dare you mention the tenth son, give me a reason."

"Well, we have a deep brotherhood." Jia She said with a chuckle.

Yan Liang: "It's too far-fetched."

"You understand righteousness, you are kind-hearted, and you are kind-hearted, so you are willing to help me." Jia She said again.

"I'm helping you because I'm afraid of getting hurt, and it's just for my own good. It has nothing to do with playing chess." Yan Liang said mercilessly.

Jia She was a little sad, "Don't be so heartless, then you will make my third son succeed."

"I'm in a bad mood, don't let me go."

Jia Amnesty couldn't help it, and begged Yan Liang with a mournful face, but it was still useless, but he still wanted to do it, so he had to bite the bullet and continue.But when he was playing chess, he couldn't help whining, scratching his head in regret and annoyance for a while, cheating to prevent Yan Liang from taking his stone, and bluffing to distract Yan Liang on purpose, and then stealthily. Yan Liang's Baizi.

Yan Liang regained his senses, turned his head to look at the chess game, smiled and said nothing, and continued to play.Jia Amnesty was quite happy that the opponent didn't notice, and excitedly added sunspots to the chessboard.Unexpectedly, within a short time, he was killed by Yan Liang.Poor Heizi had nowhere to stay in the end.

Jia She looked at the snow-white pieces on the chessboard, and rubbed his chin depressedly, annoyed that Yan Liang played too hard.

"You, you, you, you are too vicious. At least give me some face as a loser, and you will eat all of me!"

"You are holding your face in your left hand." After Yan Liang finished speaking, he waved his hand and left.He reckoned that if he stayed any longer, he would definitely be dragged into the night by Jia Amnesty.

"What, what, I don't understand." Jia She muttered guiltily, and when Yan Liang left, he awkwardly poured out the white stones he was holding in his left fist.

With a poisonous mouth and sharp eyes, he will never play chess with him in the future.

Jia She was depressed for a while, then happily decided to go play chess with his daughter and win back the victory!That girl Yingchun was born with a baby, and she was afraid of herself, so she definitely wouldn't dare to win him.

After Yan Liang got out of the hospital, he was going to turn around and go to Peach Blossom Garden in the east of Ning Mansion to meet the owner of the juggling class, but he found Jia Zheng standing under a plum tree, looking up at Mei muttering something, like writing poetry.

Yan Liang turned his head and asked Wu Qiumao to arrange the juggling class, and then walked towards Jia Zheng.

"You haven't left yet?"

Jia Zheng was taken aback, and turned to look at the man in front of him. He was wearing a black hat with a white fox collar. His voice was very soft, not sharp, but unexpectedly cold.

"Let's think about it, I have something to tell you." Jia Zheng rolled his eyes, his expression embarrassed, he really couldn't save himself by saying this.

"Go over there." Yan Liang took him to the pavilion in the plum blossom forest.

It had just snowed two days ago, and the crimson plum blossoms bloomed in the snow, which was particularly eye-catching.

Yan Liang turned his back to look at the scenery, ignoring Jia Zheng.He had something to say to himself, so naturally he said it first.

Jia Zheng hesitated for a while, seeing that the other party didn't take the initiative to ask, he had no choice but to say cheekily: "I heard that when you gave the exam to the officials of Taipu Temple, you judged Zhang Xianfei as inferior."

"Zhang Xianfei?" Yan Liang asked with slanted eyes.

"It's about the horse farm of your stable and animal husbandry department." Jia Zheng continued to be embarrassed.

Yan Liang smiled, "So it's him, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything else. I just want to know how his exam results are when we are friends." Jia Zheng is not a soft-spoken person, and his expression at this moment is extremely complicated and distorted.

"There will be news in the next year." Yan Liang turned around and looked at Jia Zheng seriously, "I'm curious, why do you have time to take care of your friends, colleagues or brother-in-law, but why don't you take care of your own son!"

"What's wrong with him, it's just that he's caught a little wind and cold, his body doesn't live up to expectations, and it's just repeated. When the weather is warmer in the next year, it will be fine."

"What if it's serious? As far as I know, wind-cold disease can also kill people."

"What nonsense are you talking about? His young body is just right. How could it be possible..."

"Oh, I just said that he is not healthy, but now I think he is in good health. Your biological father did it very cheaply."

"I have my own sense of family affairs, so I don't need you to take care of them." Jia Zheng was very annoyed. He used to find fault with his residence, and now he is teaching him to take care of his son, and he doesn't save face at all. If this guy wasn't in the official department, he would I don't want to see him in this life.

Yan Liang sneered, "Then I am an official, and I have my own discretion, so you don't need to ask more questions."

"You—" Jia Zheng's face was ashen, and he was almost choked to death by Yan Liang's words.

Yan Liang saw that he hadn't left yet. Considering that Jia Zhu didn't have much time, he still said what he had to say, "Cultivate yourself, govern your family, rule the country and the world. It is clearly written in the Book of Rites. You can't understand it just by reading. It's useless! I don't think you should be an official, sooner or later something will happen, and everyone will be hurt."

Jia Zheng looked at Yan Liang nervously and surprised, "Your words are too much! I'm just asking you something, it's fine if you don't answer, why do you need to say that about me?"

Jia Zheng was in a hurry, although he was worried that Yan Liang would trip him up in the official department, but he still couldn't show his face to give in, so he shook his hands and left.

"Prudish." Yan Liang snorted, then turned around, still looking at the plum blossom scene outside the gazebo, it was indeed quite beautiful.

Jia Zheng hadn't walked far, and heard the sigh impartially.He was so angry that he stopped, his face was as white as paper, he clenched his fist secretly for a while, and then he suddenly turned his head and shouted at Yan Liang.

"Why do you say that to me!"

"Why, you still don't accept it? You are just a hypocritical person who seems to be kind. If you were really kind, would you treat your son like that? If you were really straight, how could you tolerate the bastard behavior of the children of the clan? ? Do you think you can call yourself clean among a group of bastards by reciting poems and composing odes? It’s just their badness. In contrast, you are not bad. In fact, you are a person,” Yan Liang paused , looking at him amusedly, "It's really not that good."

"Jia Yanliang, shut up!" Jia Zheng pointed at the tip of Yan Liang's nose and roared angrily.

Yan Liang was not afraid at all. He strode up to Jia Zheng's side and spoke slowly and clearly, "Jia Cunzhou, I also tell you that if you don't correct your mistakes, you will be punished sooner or later."

Jia Zheng was so angry that his chest heaved and he looked back at Yan Liang with hatred.

Yan Liang passed by Jia Zhen, and said as he walked, "And sometimes, as a father, the retribution will be on his own son."

Jia Zheng was completely outraged by Yan Liang, since there was no one around anyway, he slammed his fist on the plum tree.The flower branches trembled and scratched his sleeves. Jia Zheng was so upset that he waved his hands desperately to break the branches.After a while, he suddenly heard footsteps, he hurriedly stopped to straighten his clothes, and put on a calm look.

Jia She was afraid that his girl would not want to play chess with him, so when he went out, he saw the little girl from Fulutang folded a bottle of plum blossoms and came back. A bottle, just as a gift to go back to coax the Spring Festival.Unexpectedly, they saw Jia Zheng as soon as they arrived at the Plum Blossom Forest.

Jia She looked in Jia Zheng's direction in bewilderment.

Jia Zheng looked at the plum blossom tree that had been broken by himself in embarrassment. He quickly reached out and stroked a broken branch, and sighed, "Which naughty little girl is it, what a pity, what a pity!"

"No matter who it is, it's really an idiot to make flowers like this!" Jia Amnesty didn't think much, and sighed angrily, and asked the little maid to clean it up. If there are any damaged plum branches, just give them to him. , can also be seen.

Jia Zhen was unintentionally scolded by Jia Amnesty as a jerk, and felt uncomfortable.After holding back for a while, he made an excuse and left with a dark face.

The little girl who was pruning looked at Jia Zheng who was leaving, and muttered in a low voice: "This flower branch looks fresh, look at how fresh the broken part is, and what girl is so tall, even the branches on it are so big. hurt."

Jia She looked up and saw that it was indeed so.Jia She happily took the vase from the little girl's hand and said he would come by himself, and then sent her to tell his master about it quickly.

The little maid froze for a moment, nodded and ran away.

Yan Liang was going to visit Xichun in the backyard, when he met a woman in her 30s on the way, leading two girls to the east.

Seeing the master, the women leading the way hurried over to salute, "Mother of the You family came to see grandma."

The mother and daughter of the You family also came to pay their respects.

The You family's stepmother has an oval face, delicate features, and quite charming.

When she saw Yan Liang, she felt a little shy, and hurriedly pulled her two daughters, Second Sister You and Sister You, to greet him with a blushing face.
