Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Jia Dairu himself has always been cautious and strict, and in addition to the pain of losing his son in his middle age, he seldom mentioned to Jia Rui what happened to his parents back then.During this long journey back to Jinling, he gradually understood his grandson's state of mind along the way. Only then did Jia Dairu realize that his grandson's inner distress was different from that of ordinary children.Jia Rui had no father or mother since he was a child, and he had never experienced the love of his father and mother, and because he looked forward to his grandson Jackie Chan, he had been raising him harshly, which made him feel no love and care.This child has been discouraged recently, has gradually become decadent, and does not know how to make progress. I am afraid that there is also a reason for this.

As for Jia Rui, his understanding of his grandfather even surpassed what he had known in the previous ten years.After hearing him sadly talk about the death of his parents, Jia Rui realized how difficult it was for his grandfather to raise him. He was so strict with himself because he shouldered the expectations of his parents.

Jia Rui became very considerate of his grandfather and became more filial to him.On the other hand, Jia Dairu cared and cared for Jia Rui, and wanted to return all the kindness he owed him when he was a child.

The grandfather and grandson rushed to Jinling City happily.After Jia Dairu settled down, he took his grandson Jia Rui to do things according to Yan Liang's orders.

"Although you, my grandparents, and my grandson were driven to Jinling because of him, it was also because of him that we had an epiphany and reformed ourselves. We should thank him sincerely and help him manage the affairs of the clan, and serve Jia The family members will do their part." Jia Dairu said seriously to Jia Rui.

Jia Rui nodded in agreement, expressing that he would obey his grandfather's orders in the future.

After the two lived in the old mansion in Jinling, Ningfu, they found that the servants left in the mansion were all old and out of use.So he gave up some money and bought two servants and two maids, who were responsible for cleaning and other affairs.Jia Rui was at the age of masculinity, and he immediately fell in love with the more beautiful of the two maids.Seeing it, Jia Dairu hated him for not living up to expectations, and even had the urge to beat him up violently in his heart.Then I recalled Master Jing's instruction before leaving, "Everything will be reversed, don't force it, you should follow the trend."

Jia Rui's mother lost his mother since he was a child, and he has never been taken care of by a woman before him. Now that he has grown up at such a youthful age, it is reasonable to like to see women.Jia Dairu then calmed down, endured the tightness in his chest, and tried his best to understand the matter, except that after three or five days, he was finally willing to ask your maid to serve in Jia Rui's room.Of course, before he agreed to this matter, he put a lot of conditions on Jia Rui, telling him not to indulge in lust too much and delay the business.

Jia Rui happily agreed that in the first few days he was a little excited when he entered the world for the first time, and sometimes he would not sleep for most of the night.About half a month later, he is just like a normal man for this kind of thing, he just has occasional needs, and he won't be obsessed with it all the time.

At this time, Jia Dairu's grandfather and grandson had already purchased hundreds of acres of land near the family's ancestral grave.After Jia Dairu made some achievements, he sent a letter to Yan Liang, telling the truth about the situation here.And told him the news that Jia Rui knew how to study hard.

But before the letter arrived from the capital, Yan Liang received another appreciation from the emperor.The emperor suddenly promoted him to be the chief examiner of this autumn examination.The main examiner is responsible for coordinating all matters of the imperial examination, and checking and finalizing the examination questions.And the final judgment of whether the result is good or bad must be carried out according to his will.

But all the candidates who pass the autumn test can be called the main examiner's students.The selection of talents and the preference of the questions are all based on the opinion of the examiner.The imperial examination is a major event in the court, and those who become officials through it will always have a few people who will sit on important positions related to the court and society in the future.The chief examiner just took the opportunity to win over talents, and this is the reason why the so-called close to the water is the first to get the moon.Since ancient times, the chief examiner of the imperial examination has been a shortcut to attract talents to his side.Therefore, every autumn exam, a round of frantic battles for the position of the chief examiner began in the court.

The position of chief examiner was originally a position that many first-rank officials could not even ask for, but now Yan Liang got it easily.The emperor didn't even discuss with too many people. When he was in court, the emperor raised his mind, turned around and asked Qi Shengao what he meant, and made a decision directly.Even if the others refused to accept it, it was irrefutable. Who told this newly promoted minister of official affairs to win the sacred heart, and also received the protection of the powerful minister Qi Shengao, naturally no one would dare to offend him face to face.It's just that behind the scenes, everyone talked a lot and felt jealous, saying that he was a courtier who would use tricks to confuse the Sacred Heart.

For this reason, Qi Shengao specially invited Yan Liang to a banquet in Guangyuan Tower to comfort him.

"Originally, I should have invited you in the mansion to meet my unfilial son. It's just that there has been a lot of rumors recently, and everyone is talking about it. If you are on the cusp, I won't be too conspicuous in front of outsiders." Qi Shengao poured a cup of tea for Yan Liang, seeing that he was just greeting Yan Liang with the teacup politely, and when the cup was filled with tea, he slowly and calmly put the cup on the table without changing his expression.

"Why, are you in a bad mood because of those rumors?" Qi Shen tilted his head and looked at Yan Liang with a look of surprise, at least he didn't expect that a big man like Yan Liang would care about such trivial matters.

"What others say has nothing to do with me. It's just boring, think about something else." Yan Liang pondered whether the emperor's promotion of him as chief examiner was due to "luck".For the past two months, he has been busy with official duties, so he really doesn't have much time to help people eliminate disaster karma.It should be something that was done before, and now there are results.

"Heh, I'm a dignified minister talking to you, but you still feel bored and think about something else? Jia Yanliang, don't you think your actions are a little too rude?" Qi Shengao's face suddenly became stern, and he stared into Yan Liang's eyes Like shooting a knife.

Yan Liang responded with a slight smile, as if he didn't care, and took it very lightly.

This made Qi Shengao even more annoyed, he raised his eyebrows and stared at him more coldly: "Are you really not afraid of me?"

Yan Liang drank his tea with downcast eyes.

Qi Shen was silent for a while, then suddenly said in a deep voice, "Then if I threaten you to tell the story about you and Prince Shun, are you still not afraid?"

Yan Liang raised his eyes suddenly, and met Qi Shengao's eyes.

Qi Shengao finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, "It seems that you are still afraid. Well, you just need to know how to be afraid, lest one day you get mad and forget about it."

Prince Shun was imprisoned by the emperor five years ago for the crime of treason. At that time, the courtiers involved were basically demoted and died, and none of them stayed in Beijing.If this deity really had such a distinct relationship with Prince Shun as Qi Shengao said, then it would be impossible for him to sit here today.Even if he resigned and returned to the Taoist temple, the emperor could not tolerate such a person staying in Beijing, let alone tolerate him returning to the court as an official later.The emperor who hated this matter deeply, even if he was not sure about it, Yan Liang didn't think that Qi Shengao had any ability, and he held conclusive evidence in his hand.After all, when he came into contact with himself in those early days, he tried it intentionally or unintentionally.Since it is a temptation, it cannot be said to be accurate, it is just suspicion.

"Could it be that you're too scared to speak?" Qi Shengao saw that Yan Liang was in decline, and his arrogance became even more arrogant.Although he is a gentleman, he looks very gentle on the surface, but his eyes are full of provocation and condescension.

This time it was Yan Liang who poured tea for Qi Shengao. The hand holding the tea was steady, and the water gushing out of the spout formed a small curved water column, which fell into the teacup next to Qi Shengao without leaking. .

Yan Liang squinted at him calmly, "Don't be presumptuous, just now I couldn't understand what Lord Qi said at all, so I felt that there was nothing to say."

"Jia Yanliang, do you still deny it? Do you really think I will believe your words?" Since Qi Shengao asked provocatively, he was not afraid to continue asking.

"I have nothing to say. However, you can continue to ask." Yan Liang looked helpless, but his tone was gentle and gentle, showing great patience.It made Qi Shengao feel that he was making trouble for no reason, like a willful and crazy child.

Qi Shengao and Yan Liang looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and patted Yan Liang's shoulder pretending to be intimate, "It's best if you don't get involved, it's best! I won't hide it from you, I told you earlier that the emperor actually At the beginning, I was a little suspicious of you. I asked you like that just for your own good."

"The next official has learned." Yan Liang sneered twice, then bid farewell to Qi Shengao.

Qi Shengao knew that it was an embarrassing time, if Yan Liang was allowed to leave at this time, the relationship between him and Yan Liang would probably become more and more distant in the future.Yan Liang has a deep personality, he should keep any hatred in his heart, and neither speak it out nor show it.Although such a person has a calm temperament, is quick and appropriate in handling things, and is very pleasing, but his heart is hard to figure out, and sometimes it is quite daunting.

"Okay, okay, look, I'm also worried about you. You also know about Prince Shun. We are courtiers who are in danger. I think the emperor wants to use you, and I have always valued you, so I want to Be cautious, double-check, you see, you can't stand this joke."

While coaxing, Qi Shengao pressed Yan Liang's shoulder and told him to sit back.No matter what he said, Yan Liang finally listened to the persuasion.

Just when Qi Shengao thought that Yan Liang would not pursue his anger, he suddenly heard a low and cold voice.

"how about you?"

Yan Liang could clearly remember that Qi Shengao's name was on the list hidden in the bookcase.Yan Liang asked someone to investigate carefully the other names that appeared together with Qi Shengao's name, and now none of them has a good result, except Qi Shengao.What does this mean?
