Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Chapter 4 Unhappy Retribution

Yan Liang's return to the mansion was not deliberately concealed, and soon both Jia Zheng and You Shi got the news.The backyard was alright, so we couldn't come to look for it right away, but Jia Zheng and the guests couldn't sit still after waiting for a while.Now that the birthday star has returned, and they all came to congratulate Jia Jing on his birthday, it is natural that they should congratulate Jia Jing in person after seeing him.So all the male guests asked Jia Zheng to lead them, and rushed to Fulu Hall to meet Jia Jing.

At this time, before the crowd reached the entrance of the courtyard, they heard the screams of pain from the Fulu hall, which sounded like a pig being slaughtered.The voice sounded familiar, and everyone looked to Jia Zheng for confirmation, and seeing the difference in his expression, they all understood in their hearts.

Everyone looked at each other and said goodbye.Since the master taught his son a lesson as soon as he came back, and had no intention of living his life, they all left wisely.

Jia Zheng felt rather embarrassed because of this, and after sending off the guests with apologetic smiles, he rushed into the Fulu Hall quickly.He wanted to see how big of a deal it was, he had to force Jia Jing to do it as soon as he came back, even ignoring all the guests in the garden!

After Jia Zheng entered the room, the voice stopped.

The boy helped Jia Zhen pull up her trousers and carried her out.Jia Zhen's face was covered in cold sweat, her blood had gone, her facial features were forbearably distorted, and she looked sluggish and powerless.Compared with the way he flirted with women before, this expression is in huge contrast, and he deserves it.

Yan Liang drank his tea calmly, without looking at Jia Zhen, and let his servants get him away.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng became even more curious about what happened, and why did Jia Jing teach the child in such a calm manner?The child is incompetent, and the father beats and scolds, and it hurts in his heart and anger on his face.

Yan Liang had already noticed Jia Zheng, thanks to the word from the woman at the door, he knew his identity without thinking too much.

Yan Liang looked at this man in his early thirties, he was gentle, a little square and dull, but he looked like a humble and kind person.However, Yan Liang has seen this kind of scholar who claims to be a breeze in his life. He often says one thing and does another, which is extremely hypocritical.This Jia Zheng, Yan Liang was sure and affirmed, he belonged to this kind of prudish person.

Because Yan Liang also saw a lot of evil causes in this person, although not as many as Jia Zhen, but the weight of the retribution is as serious as Jia Zhen.

Jia Zheng bowed his hands politely, and warmly said to Jia Jing: "Good brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Long time no see." Yan Liang made a gesture of invitation and asked Jia Zheng to sit down.

"Poor parents all over the world. Sometimes children are ignorant. We have to be cruel for their future well-being. But Zhen'er is so old, and she is still in front of all the guests today. Isn't it too much for you to beat the children like this?" gone?"

"This punishment is what he asked for." Yan Liang glanced at Jia Zheng, feeling that he was meddling in his own business.

Jia Zheng had nothing to say for a while, so he didn't mention Jia Zhen for the time being, and asked him why he came back. "When you left, you said that you were devoted to the Tao and would never come back. In the past two years, you have never asked about big or small things in the Ning Mansion. We really thought that you would never come back."

"From one moment to another, you just think I'm in a different state of mind." Yan Liang pondered for a moment, then asked Jia Zheng, "How are you?"

"It's still the same. Thanks to the grace of being promoted, I can still be an official. It's just a bit regretful. I couldn't get an official through the imperial examination, and I haven't moved in the same place for the past two years. I'm afraid the people above think I have no talent. I only rely on the protection of my ancestors to achieve today, so I don’t want to reuse me. Thinking about it this way, I hate myself for missing the good opportunity.”

"Those who take their own exams are the same as those who are appointed by the saints. There is no difference. But being an official is different from reading. You need ability and courage." Yan Liang paused, staring at Jia Zhengdao, "In short, the book Not everything that is said in the book is good, just thinking about it is not enough to eat. If you want to achieve success, you can't just rely on your mouth, you have to do it."

"Brother Jing was born as a Jinshi. He used to be a senior official and has been in the officialdom longer than me. Naturally, you have unique insights and are different from ordinary people like us."

Jia Zheng's tone was slightly sour, obviously he didn't like Yan Liang's words.To be precise, every sentence of Yan Liang hit his sore spot.He was most annoyed that the strengths he was most proud of were being looked down upon by those who were more powerful than him.

If Jia Jing is still an official, Jia Zheng might be more humble, but he is obviously a waste of alchemy and a failure, so what qualifications does he have to educate him!

Yan Liang chuckled, lowered his eyes, and swirled his slender fingers around the edge of the teacup.There was still a distant smile on his face, but he just kept silent, not responding to Jia Zheng.

The sudden silence made Jia Zheng regret his gaffe.

In order to save the embarrassment, Jia Zheng took the initiative to pass on the farewell words of those guests, and deliberately described in detail how the guests left in embarrassment when they came to see Jia Jing.He hoped that Jia Jing would realize his mistake of beating his son, but after all, he didn't see the slightest regret on Jia Jing's face.

"I'm tired." Yan Liang chased people away.

Jia Zheng couldn't bear to walk away with this embarrassment, so he got up and said to Yan Liang: "Brother Jing, we are all one family, so I won't avoid suspicion with you. Do you really think it's appropriate for you to beat your son on an occasion like today?"

"You said it all, that's my son. What does it have to do with you if I teach him a lesson?" Yan Liang's voice sounded soft, but there was a strong threat in his tone.He didn't even lift his eyelids, he seemed disgusted but he didn't care that Jia Zheng talked to him like this.

Jia Zheng was silenced again.

The atmosphere in the room froze, and Jia Zheng couldn't take it any longer, so he left with a black face.

Yan Liang stood up with a faint smile, but his eyes pierced into the bones like ice picks, staring at Jia Zheng's back.In Jia's house alone, there are so many evil causes. It seems that he doesn't have to worry about having no official job and no money to spend in the future.

But the most important thing is that he has to get rid of the evil causes of the deity first, so as not to turn around and follow his own bad luck.

News came from the backyard over there, it seemed that Mother Jia couldn't wait and wanted to see him.

There were so many female relatives, Yan Liang was worried that he would not be able to recognize so many people at once.So I called a duty-laden woman to come to me and said to her, "I've gotten used to being quiet for the past two years, and then I fell into a problem. When the scene is chaotic, I tend to get dizzy. In addition, I haven't seen them for a long time, and even more It’s easy to be overwhelmed. Remember to remind me next time. If you’re afraid of being confused and don’t know which ones to introduce and which ones not, just say them all.”

Mrs. Song nodded and agreed one by one.

After Yan Liang visited Jia's mother, Jia's mother wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and sighed that it would be best for him to come back and make decisions in Ningfu.

"Zhen'er's child is still young, and with such a big family business, it's better for him to be able to see through it. If you are able to return to his post, it will be even more joyful. We are all happy for you."

"This is not up to me." When mentioning being an official, Yan Liang smiled helplessly.

When Yan Liang looked at himself in the mirror this morning, he discovered that one of the most evil causes of the deity's crimes was related to the things he committed when he was an official.As for the specifics of this matter, Yan Liang didn't know, but he could feel how much disaster this thing would bring to him.This time when he returns to the capital, he will inevitably touch this evil cause, and if he is not careful, the evil effect will be accelerated.At that time, let alone being an official, he might lose his life.

The elimination of evil causes is difficult and easy, and this in Yan Liang is extremely difficult, almost impossible to eliminate.Therefore, he must help others eliminate the evil causes as soon as possible, so as to improve his official luck. When his official luck is strong enough, he may be able to avoid this disaster.

After Yan Liang chatted with Jia Mu for a few words, he avoided suspicion and withdrew.The time was short, and the mother-in-law reminded him that Yan Liang's performance was tight.

Inside Fulu Hall.

Yan Liang ate his lunch in a good mood, and took a look around his new residence by the way.This Ningguo Mansion really deserved to be a family that had prospered in the ancestors. The room was bright and transparent, and the furniture and furnishings were very particular.Just thinking that Jia Zhen lived in Fulutang, Yan Liang felt that the place was not clean, so he asked someone to replace all the furniture with new ones.

"Get some more grapefruit leaves, to get rid of bad luck."

The housekeeper agreed one by one, and went back to Youshi.

When You Shi heard that Jia Zhen was beaten, she ran to take a look.After going out, he had a closer look at the process, and found out that he was the one who flirtatiously teased the official singer, so he scolded him in his heart that he deserved it.

This time the master is back, he will definitely not let him do anything wrong, thinking of this, You Shi feels relieved.So she took great pains to personally supervise the changing of furniture in the master's room.

In the afternoon, Yan Liang began to look through the family's ledger and carefully counted the property of the Ning Mansion.No matter where this person is, as long as he moves a step, he can't do without money.So Yan Liang's first step back home was naturally to start with money.

Jia Zhen didn't know that the master moved so fast, she just lay down on the couch in embarrassment, screaming in pain.Holding his breath in his heart, he called Jia Rong to scold him.

Jia Rong felt aggrieved: "My son wanted to send someone to inform you, but grandfather refused. He said he would come back with me, so he will see you naturally."

"Stop bluffing me! I think it's because you hated me for teaching you a lesson, so you ran to tell him about me, which made the master hate me so much, that's why you came back and taught me a lesson, didn't you?"

Jia Rong cried and confessed her innocence, and swore to deny it.

Jia Zhen spat at Jia Rong, "Then let me ask you, you went in the morning, why did you come back late at noon? What have you been doing for so long?"

Mentioning this, Jia Rong's face changed drastically, "It's okay if I don't talk about it, I'm afraid now when I talk about it. Father should remember to accompany the master to the old man Wang Shi who was staying in the temple. He died in an accident today! The reason why we came back It's late, all because of this."

"Dead? What's going on?" Jia Zhen asked in surprise.

"This bastard Wang Shi has been secretly replacing the master's cinnabar, shoddy. The master exposed him today, and he wanted to run away with money. The Taoist boys chased him together, but he accidentally went down the mountain, slipped, slipped, and drowned .”

"Drown? Are you kidding, just Xuanzhen watching the shallow stream under the mountain?"
