Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Yan Liang didn't know what Jia's mother was planning, after all, it must be a bad thing to want to take his daughter away.It's not a day or two for the old lady to have a lot of things, so there's no need to deal with everything, just ignore it.

Naturally, Yan Liang never saw anyone sent by Jia Mu.

Jia's mother had expected him to be like this, and she didn't feel annoyed after hearing the woman's embellishment, so she just called Jia Zheng and his wife to discuss.

Jia Zheng had already had enough of Yan Liang's anger, but it was too late for Jia Zheng to hide in his affairs, so there was no way he would be in a hurry to get involved.Then he persuaded Jia's mother, "Since it's about raising their daughters, why should we get involved? One thing more is worse than one thing less."

Mother Jia shook her head, "It's a matter of life, I can't just watch the Dong Mansion always bully you, besides, I'm his elder, I should help him worry about it, this is also for the sake of the reputation of our Jia family girls. "

Mother Jia squinted her eyes after she finished speaking, and there was a shallow and kind smile on her face, which made people feel close to each other when they saw it.

Mrs. Wang heard this in a muffled voice, and immediately grasped the point of what Jia Mu said, and quickly echoed Jia Mu, saying: "Mother is right to worry, but Xichun's child's discipline in the future is a worry. A man can call the wind and call the rain outside. It is a great matter to help the country and the people, but no matter how powerful this man is, they don't understand the mess in the back house at all. Let alone raising their daughters, mother, you are kind and considerate of their father and daughter. "

"What's the use of that? Look, people don't appreciate my kindness at all." Mother Jia patted her chest and said sadly.

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Mother, don't be angry about such unworthy things, let them go!"

Mother Jia glared at Jia Zheng, "Your child is good at everything, but he's a bit too kind. Okay, let's take a step back and don't care about the past, but now we have to care about the reputation of our own girl. Yingchun, Tanchun, and Yuanchun in the palace all deserve fame!"

"This is..." Jia Zheng turned to look at Mrs. Wang in confusion.

Mrs. Wang quickly explained to Jia Zheng in a low voice.Jia Zhengfang understood.This matter can be big or small, if it gets bigger, it can get a big name.Jia Zheng thought about Yan Liang's use of the family rules to suppress himself by using the family rules to make things big, but now the old lady's actions are nothing at all.

Jia Mu asked Jia Zheng, "What do you think?"

Jia Zheng bowed to his mother, "What mother said is absolutely true!"

"In the future, if he raises an immoral girl to marry off, the whole Jia family will be ashamed, and the reputation of our girls will also be affected. This time, we can't let him get away like last time. Let's take care of it! "Mother Jia patted the table and said.

"But if he manages like this, with his nature, it's inevitable that he will tear his face and quarrel." Jia Zheng felt a headache when he thought of Yan Liang, and frowned tightly.

"You, you are too simple and honest. People sometimes bully us, so we should let him know that we are not easy to mess with!" After Jia's mother said, she sent Jia Zheng and his wife to Ningfu to reason, and repeatedly asked Jia Zheng not to lose Rong Mansion's face, but this time they took advantage.

When the couple arrived in Ningfu, they split into two groups, one went to see Yan Liang, and the other went to the back house to look for Youshi.Mrs. Wang's side was smooth, but Jia Zheng's side was more troublesome.When the doorman heard that he wanted to see the master, he was hesitant to inform him, so he was reprimanded by Jia Zheng and led him directly to Fulu Hall.

The boys were very afraid that the master would punish them for this, so they hurriedly chased and stopped them, and rushed to report.When the group arrived in front of Fulu Hall, they were suddenly blocked by a group of tall guards.

Jia Zheng recognized at a glance that these people were from the palace, and he knew it was not easy to offend, so he explained the reason.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, Mr. Shang Shu has important matters to deal with, and no one will be seen!"

"I'm his brother, can't I see it?" Jia Zheng asked.

"It's related to the important affairs of the autumn exam. If the exam questions are leaked, who can take the responsibility?" The guards of the Imperial Army don't care about the world, they just obey their orders and stick to their own tasks.They wouldn't even give face to a second-rank official, let alone a mere Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng's face was burning instantly, as if he had been slapped on the spot.Especially he was used to being flattered by those cleanups before, but now he was insulted by a guard, it was really embarrassing.

After the guard finished speaking, he stood there with a cold face, motionless like an ice sculpture, ignoring Jia Zheng in front of him as nothing.

Jia Zheng was taken aback, feeling rather embarrassed.While annoyed, Fang remembered that these guards were specially sent by the emperor to protect Yan Liang after he was assassinated last time, which shows that he is deeply favored.

How can you fight with him, how can you be qualified...

A huge sense of gap rose from the bottom of his heart, Jia Zheng turned around silently without saying anything.

The window of the West Wing of Fulu Hall was opened a crack, and he only went up gently after Jia Zheng had left.

Yan Liang picked up a pen and wrote Jia Zheng's name on the white rice paper on the table.It took some effort and was very careful, and it looks similar to the deity's previous handwriting.In the past, wherever he wrote, he tried his best to find someone to write for him, leaving few loopholes.He has practiced this handwriting for some days, and he can finally become handy.

Seeing that Jia Zheng returned home in a hurry, Jia's mother was a little annoyed. She was angry at Yan Liang for not thinking too much about family affection, and also hated her son for not doing anything.

"In another day, you call the elders of the clan, talk about this matter carefully, and make a judgment, and see if his actions are what the clan leader should do."

"I think it's better to forget about it. How can we make trouble with him, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, mother, why should we?" Jia Zheng frowned.

Mother Jia snorted angrily and scolded him for being worthless.Anyway, she has seen through this Yan Liang, and she will not accept softness, so she might as well toss and see, to ensure that there is no time for him to be soft.

Jia's mother knew that Jia Zheng was useless, so she sent him away.After Mrs. Wang came back, Mother Jia discussed with her.

Mrs. Wang is also afraid now, she hates Yan Liang even more.She will remember clearly what happened to her eldest brother for the rest of her life.This time it was the old lady who came out in the lead, even if it brought hatred, the old lady would still block it, and she was more than happy to do her best to help.

Three days later, at the instigation of Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, the elders of Jia's family were gathered together, and they went to the ancestral hall to discuss the matter of the patriarch's teaching daughter's continuation.

Originally, everyone was dissatisfied with Yan Liang's strict discipline of the tribe, especially after the restructuring of Jia's school, it affected all families with children who went to school, and they were all affected a lot by it.Everyone is afraid of change, and hates change, but because of Yan Liang's status as a high-ranking official, he dares not speak out.

In the past, Yan Liang always talked about things with clan rules and taught them a lesson.This time they had the chance, they really wanted to fight back, but they really didn't dare.The reason why they got everything together this time was because they had received tangible benefits from the Rong Mansion, they dared to come only when they had money and courage.

Everyone waited for half an hour in the conference hall, and finally they were looking forward to the people from Rong Mansion.After hearing footsteps, everyone stood up, even Jia Zheng.However, the visitor who stretched his neck and looked forward to it turned out to be Wu Qiumao, the entourage of the patriarch Yan Liang.

"why you?"

"The master is busy with work, so I really can't leave. But the master said, you must not neglect everyone. If you have any ideas, you elders, just mention them. The master asked me to record them carefully, and he will carefully review them one by one later."

Seeing an elder wanting to speak, Wu Qiumao hastily added: "Oh, yes, it is a disorderly misrepresentation. After I record it, I will ask all the elders to sign and sign after their speech."

I need to sign and pledge! ?

Wouldn't it be that their words are like a crime of confession, and they will always be caught by the patriarch!dare not!Never dare!

As soon as this remark came out, no one dared to be the first to speak this time.

"Uh... But you specially informed the master that you will come to the ancestral hall to discuss important matters, why don't you say anything?" Wu Qiumao looked at everyone with a smile, but his tone was very sharp.

Without saying a word, everyone looked at Jia Zheng in unison.Jia Zheng turned his eyes away and moved his butt uncomfortably. He really didn't want to experience this kind of pins and needles feeling for a moment.

"I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

As soon as Jia Zheng left, everyone lost their minds. They all talked evasively and hurriedly broke up.

"Master, it's strange, they left without saying anything." Wu Qiumao told Yan Liang truthfully.

"Ah."

Yan Liang put down the pen, rubbed his brain, and then handed the article in his hand to the boy.

Wu Qiumao glanced at it, and it seemed to be an article with annotations made with a cinnabar pen.

"Let Rong'er change accordingly." Yan Liang only explained this sentence.

Wu Qiumao watched the young man go, then smiled and said to Yan Liang: "Brother Rong is amazing, he can write such a long article at a young age, and his intelligence is very similar to yours, sir, I think he will definitely be in the Toad Palace soon. Fold the laurels and shine on the lintel."

"That's not necessarily true. How many sons are young and talented, middle-aged and incompetent. Besides, with his writing skills, he can't be called a talent, just average. If you want to be successful, you have to work hard." Yan Liang paused , and turned to say, "By the way, I heard that Brother Qiang always hangs out with him?"

"Yes." Wu Qiumao said.

"Tell that child to go with Rong'er, and send a few followers around him, be stricter, and have the same academic requirements." Yan Liang said.

Wu Qiumao agreed.

"I asked you to check how Xu Chong went?"

"Master, there is nothing special about him, except for one thing. His son, Xu Wen, married the granddaughter of Concubine Nan'an. The couple have a sweet mouth and are very popular with the concubine. It is rumored that Xu Wen is a very talented person, and he is very personable. Clever, he will definitely be the top three in high school in this imperial examination. Besides, I also found out that this Xu Wen has been with people from Mazhou several times."

It seems that the rumors were false.

Yan Liang sneered, guessing that Xu Wen was not someone with a lot of knowledge.If he is true to what the rumors say, I'm afraid that Concubine Nan'an won't go to Jiamu's place and send someone to interfere with his sequel.It is indeed common for an old lady to be eager to get a red line, but she is the only one who unilaterally rushes to get a red line without expressing her will.After much deliberation, she could only have other plans.

It is estimated that Concubine Nan'an heard Jiamu's complaints, and took the opportunity to think about it.

These two old ladies are easy to deal with, it's no big deal.

But this Xu Wen, seeing the date of the scientific examination approaching, he didn't study behind closed doors like other examinees, but instead had frequent contacts with the people of Ma Zhou, the minister of rites, which was quite strange.
