Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Yan Liang looked straight into Jia Zheng's eyes calmly, with a calm expression, except for a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel full of provocation.Jia Zheng was made guilty by the other party's so confident and candid appearance, so he turned his eyes to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty was a little flustered, hastily explaining his innocence.Of course Jia Zheng didn't believe it.

"Brother Jing, please explain to me quickly, I really don't know about this!" Jia Amnesty begged Yan Liang.

Yan Liang sneered: "If you explain it, he will believe it? I think he only believes what he wants to believe. He has learned so many lessons, and to this day, he still doesn't understand."

"What did you say?" Jia Zheng asked back unconvinced, and even took two steps forward, with the urge to hit Yan Liang.He can bear this guy's power to frame him and plot against him, but he won't accept insinuating that he is stupid!

"Jia Cunzhou, what is the death of your eldest son to you? Is it just the pain of losing a son?" Yan Liang sat calmly on the top seat, his eyes fell on his face as sharply as the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. body.

Jia Zheng was so stared at that he suddenly became stiff. He didn't understand, and asked even more puzzled: "Otherwise, what do you want from me? Is it not enough for my son's death to break my heart?"

"Ah, so you don't remember what I told you." Yan Liang immediately smiled helplessly, as if the person who just talked to him was a fool, and the other party's response was expected, and he really didn't It is necessary to distinguish right from wrong with a fool.

Jia Zheng was irritated by Yan Liang's attitude, and felt even more insulted. He rushed towards Yan Liang in two or three steps, but a guard suddenly blocked his way with a knife.Although the knife was still in its sheath, the guard's reaction was as quick as a blink of an eye. The cold apology was pressed against his warm neck, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, which really made Jia Zheng shiver.

Jia Zheng dodged instinctively and leaned back. Naturally, his body lost his balance and he almost fell headlong. Fortunately, Jia She reached out to catch him.

"I am ordered by the holy order to protect Mr. Minister, if you encounter a traitor, you will be killed!"

"You mean...I'm a traitor?" Jia Zheng pointed at himself with an incredulous expression on his face.

The guard had a cold face, staring blankly ahead, without saying a word, but his right hand was tightly grasping the shoulder knife at his waist.

"Second child!" Jia Amnesty hurriedly tugged on Jia Zheng, and whispered to persuade him not to be impulsive, "You are crazy! That is the guard, who is next to the emperor and who has been ordered by the emperor."

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth for a while, and Fang cupped his hands to explain: "You misunderstood, I just had a few casual conversations with Brother Jing, I am a gentleman, how can I do something that hurts someone's body."

The guard still had a dull face and didn't make a sound, but quietly retreated to the side.He stood beside the half-foot-high celadon vase, silently, like a statue.If you don't pay special attention, it is indeed easy to be overlooked.It was also because of what happened just now that Jia Zheng noticed the presence of the guards.

His heart was still beating wildly, and he couldn't help feeling the great change in the scene before him.Who would have expected that the broken Taoist priest who was still burning incense and making alchemy in the ruined temple three years ago would make a comeback and return to the court with the same scenery.

Yan Liang glanced at Jia Zheng and said, "Come here, let's have some tea."

After a while, two cups of tea were placed in front of Jia Zheng and Jia She.

Jia Zhengyu was startled, a little nervous, but still trying to save face.When he saw the tea, he quickly picked it up and drank it as if he had met a savior, to cover up his uneasy state.

He took a big gulp, and a thick bitterness rolled up in his throat.He resisted instinctively and almost vomited it out, but he swallowed it because of etiquette.Looking at the tea soup again, it is dark green to black.How thick is this tea, it is so bitter!

strong tea...

Only then did Jia Zheng realize that Yan Liang had seen through him a long time ago, so he specifically asked someone to make strong tea for him.

How annoying!Jia Zheng was extremely embarrassed.

Yan Liang sent the guard out.

When Jia Zheng was Yan Liang, he saved some face for him and calmed down a little.

"You are smart and know how to make smart choices. It's not too late for the old lady to wake up. She is barely a smart person. Jia Cunzhou, how about you?" Yan Liang asked Jia Zheng, raising his eyebrows.

"I don't understand what you mean!" Jia Zheng frowned and stood up, heading towards the door. He didn't want to stay in this ghostly place for a moment.

Yan Liang let him go.Jia She hesitated and stood where he was, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

Yan Liang looked at him, "How is your second brother at home?"

"What can I do, since you made him unable to go to the Yamen, he has been idle all day long. At home, he still talks about his words, chats with his clean-ups, and pretends to care about the common people. See It makes me sick." Jia Amnesty made a disgusted look with his nose crooked.

"Be more serious, no matter what you say in the future, your posture should be upright." Yan Liang pointed at Jia She's face with the handle of his fan.

Jia Amnesty immediately put away the attitude just now and straightened his facial features.

"I have a few people here, I'll take you to get acquainted first, so that you can recommend him." The next day, Yan Liang sent Wu Qiumao to post.

Those who called were all officials of the fifth and sixth grades, and they gathered in Guangyuan Building to have a good time.Yan Liang picked up something important and told Jia Amnesty to just talk about himself with these people.Speak less of good things, more of eccentricities, and speak of bad things appropriately.

There were not many opportunities to speak ill of Yan Liang, so Jia She happily accepted the job, and besides, he was also willing to associate with the court officials.He turned his head and went out, showing off that he had a lot of friends and had dignity on his face.

However, Jia Amnesty was unwilling to introduce these new friends he knew to Jia Zheng.When the time comes, Jia Zheng will agree with them, and if you say something bad about him, the good thing that he has saved face will be gone.

Jia Amnesty dragged on for a few days, but Yan Liang finally warned him that if he didn't go, he would sweep the pigsty.Jia Amnesty had no choice but to reluctantly drag Jia Zheng, who was even more reluctant, to Guangyuan Building.

The reason why Jia Zheng didn't want to go was because he didn't believe that Jia Amnesty would meet any good people.Unexpectedly, after meeting him, he did not expect that they were all the people he wanted to associate with on weekdays. These people were similar to him in grade, and they were all very knowledgeable.There are people from the six departments of the imperial court, and they can open their hearts to each other and chat freely.And from time to time, someone will analyze the movement in the court, and try to figure out the mind of the sage.All of these will be of great benefit to his future career as an official, which is much more interesting than chatting with those boring purges at home.

Jia Zheng became more and more keen on this kind of entertainment, and he would go to Guangyuan Building when he had nothing to do, and sometimes he never ate a meal at home.Now Guangyuan Building has been expanded many times, and the adjacent tea shop and inn have been incorporated.There are often literati and refined scholars who have a good time drinking and chatting there, and then stay away all night.The same is true for Jia Zheng. Sometimes he goes away and doesn't come back for three days, which is worse than when Jia She was obsessed with visiting brothels.

Jia Amnesty was still not convinced at first, and wanted to compete with Jia Zheng on who would make more friends, but he was persuaded to leave by the people sent by Yan Liang.

In the past two days, Yan Liang happened to be finalizing the final autumn exam questions, but no one was there.Jia Amnesty held back this for several days, and almost choked out a mouthful of old blood.

Today, when Jia She heard that the questions for the autumn exam had finally been finalized, Jia She rushed into the Ning Mansion as soon as possible.From a distance, Jia She saw Yan Liang's familiar tall and handsome figure, and was inexplicably excited.Jia Amnesty sniffled, with tears in his eyes, as if he was about to pounce on him.

"Stop." Yan Liang's voice was a little hoarse, mixed with a little tiredness, but it still didn't match his original coolness.

Jia She felt that he was suddenly swept by a gust of autumn wind, jolted, and stopped subconsciously.

Jia Amnesty blinked excitedly, looking at Yan Liang's face, he was indeed very tired.

"Stayed up late? Why don't you rest first, I'll turn around..."

"Say something quickly." Yan Liang cut off his words.

"Well, well, it's actually not a big deal. I just can't bear the arrogance of the second brother. Since I introduced those officials to them, he has been hanging around with them every day, and he will soon be out of the house. Didn't you ask someone to stop you?" Why don't you let me go, I just want to ask myself if I can..." Jia She said and laughed.

"Just a few petty officials of the fifth and sixth ranks have attracted your attention?" Yan Liang deliberately looked at him with a look of contempt.

"Uh...no, no! How could it be, I wouldn't be so ignorant." Jia Amnesty shook his head resolutely, denying it, "I just can't understand how arrogant my second child is. Besides, I don't understand, you Why are you so nice to the second child all of a sudden, why do you want me to introduce those people to him!"

"From what you mean, your second brother is very familiar with those people?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm not as familiar. They invited me several times, but I didn't go because you asked someone to stop me. It shows that I am the most popular." Jia She boasted proudly.

Yan Liang smiled, looked at Jia Amnesty, but did not expose the facts.

"I'm a little tired today, bring your brother to see me tomorrow. It's okay, you go." Yan Liang rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice.

"Okay!" After Jia Amnesty agreed, he turned around obediently and wanted to leave, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned around in confusion to ask Yan Liang why.It can be seen that Yan Liang looked tired, and he couldn't bear to bother him anymore, so he decided to keep his doubts in his heart first, and then talk about it later.

Yan Liang looked up at him, "Is there anything else?"

"Ah, by the way, I almost forgot to mention that during the past few days when you were working on the test questions, people from the Xue family came. It was my widowed younger sister who was a worthless brother-in-law. She came here with the same pair of children. I heard things like that I brought a lot of them with me, and it seems that I plan to live in the capital for a long time. Now the old lady will let them live in the Rong Mansion, and they will live in the Lixiangyuan, the courtyard where the old lady used to cultivate, you know."

Yan Liang: "Yes."
