Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Not long after Yan Liang returned to the mansion, Jia Zhen was carried back.

Youshi came to meet him crying.

Jia Zhen's clothes were disheveled, her body was covered with thorns, and there were still rotten eggs hanging from her hair. Naturally, she was in a very embarrassing situation.

When the servants at home saw this, they couldn't help laughing, and Youshi choked twice before holding back.Youshi asked someone to pull out the thorn, and took Jia Zhen to take a bath.A doctor was also invited over there to help clean up Jia Zhen's wounds.

When You Shi heard that Jia Zhen was going to Qinglefang to cause trouble, once he got angry, he didn't want to bother him.

Yan Liang asked You Shi to serve Jia Zhen well.

You Shi was sullen and dissatisfied.

"He is your husband, you have to take care of it, this is what you should do as a wife. No matter how much you scold him and beat him, I won't blame you, but if you choose to ignore him, don't blame me as a father-in-law mean to you."

At first, Youshi felt that the master was biased, but after hearing that, he became confused, and let her beat and scold him?

"But master, I am a soft-spoken person, how could he listen to me!"

"I'll support you." Yan Liang took out a land deed, "This is a land deed of [-] acres, for your natal mother. Tell her to live by it in the future, and don't always bring her daughter to Ningfu."

Yushi's face changed drastically.

"Status is earned by yourself, not by you crying. You bear the name of the great grandmother of Ningfu, and you have to do what you should do. From today on, let me see your changes, and let me see less Those servants who are lazy and greedy, otherwise... Lai Er is an example." After Yan Liang said, he put a porcelain bottle on the table, glanced at Youshi, and went.

At this time, the doctor who was seeing the doctor in the inner room came out, told Youshi the situation respectfully, and sat down with a pen to prescribe medicine.

Before You Shi could calm down, he picked up the porcelain vase on the table with complicated emotions.You Shi poured it out and found that it was a white powder that smelled a little salty.Youshi dipped it in and tasted it, it was salt!What did the master do for him?

The doctor in that room finished prescribing the medicine, and was instructing the mother-in-law: "After cooking these herbs, put them in the bathtub, and let the uncle soak for half an hour. There is also this bottle of plaster, and apply it on the body after bathing."

Put it on!

Youshi opened his mouth, and suddenly understood the meaning of the master giving her this porcelain vase.

You Shi thought for a moment, then went into the room and held up the medicine bottle and said to Jia Zhen: "The medicine just prescribed by the doctor, this smell needs to be wiped with melted water first to heal quickly, but it will hurt a little, so bear with it."

Jia Zhen nodded.

Then, there was a howling sound like ghosts and wolves in the room.

Half an hour later, Youshi came out with a happy face. She had never been so happy as she is today since she married into the Rong Mansion.Suddenly, Youshi had a new understanding of what the master had said to him before.

Half a day later, people in the house spread the embarrassment of Jia Zhen.

Yan Liang sent Mrs. Song to inform You Shi.

You Shi immediately understood what the master meant, and began to rectify these nonsense servants.More than 30 people were arrested in one breath, and their monthly money was deducted, and the serious four were even slapped.

It was the first time for the servants to be disciplined so harshly, and they still complained.

On the second day, Yan Liang raided Dianmao and drove away all the housekeepers who were late for no reason.Those who couldn't come due to illness, as long as they didn't ask for leave in advance, they wouldn't be given any favors.

All of a sudden, the subordinates of Ning Mansion were in a state of disquiet, and everything was well-behaved, and they never dared to do anything out of the ordinary.

Jia Zhen was recovering from her injuries to the extreme, and Yan Liang did not forget to urge him to explain the account book.

Jia Zhen was so scared that she peed her pants, and she didn't dare close her eyes while lying on the bed, for fear that the master would settle accounts with him again at this time and beat him up again.

"What should I do? He didn't like me playing with women. I told him that all the money was spent on women, and he had to kill me." Jia Zhen complained to You Shi.

"It deserves it." Youshi doesn't care at all now.Jia Zhen

Jia Zhen glared at her, and stretched out her hand to grab Youshi's ear: "What do you mean, you don't want to live anymore?"

"Ah—it hurts! If you do this again, I'll call you master!" Youshi yelled, covering his ears.

When Jia Zhen heard this, she let go of her hand in fright, and squinted at him: "You have a backer, can a master protect you like this for the rest of your life?"

Youshi's aura immediately weakened, he glanced at Jia Zhen listlessly, and offered advice to her: "Just say to do good deeds and donate to the temple, how about it?"

"That's right, that's right, it's the sesame oil money donated to the temple, to pay homage to the mother and pray for the father!" Jia Zhen excitedly said.

On the second day, Jia Zhen ordered You Shi to go to the temple to handle the matter properly. After You Shi came back in the afternoon, Jia Zhen prepared her speech and went to see Yan Liang in a serious manner.

When Jia Zhen was about to arrive at Fulu Hall, she happened to find that Yan Liang was going out.Jia Zhen moved her mind, and hid behind the courtyard wall and watched secretly. Then he went to ask the accountant, and learned that the master had taken 2000 taels of silver and left.

Jia Zhen suddenly became excited, and immediately followed Yan Liang.

Jia Zhen found that the carriage was driving to the north of the city. There were no flower streets in that area, and ordinary poor people lived there.

After the carriage stopped, Jia Zhen saw Yan Liang coming out in half-worn ordinary clothes.

Jia Zhen rolled his eyeballs cleverly, and suddenly understood.The so-called "a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief", the master must have taken a fancy to a good family, so he went to a private meeting in disguise.

Jia Zhen followed immediately, and after making seven turns, she saw him get into a house.

"It's done!" Jia Zhen clapped her hands happily, and then his servant went to the front door to make trouble, and then she blocked the back door and waited to see her father make a fool of herself.

There is an alley on the east side of the house, which can just go around to the back.

The more Jia Zhen walked in, the more people came and went, and there was a scent of rice wafting out.Jia Zhen faintly felt something was wrong, and when she walked to the back door, she saw a long queue in front of her, and the master he was looking for was serving porridge in the porridge shed at the back door of the house.

Jia Zhen also heard the surrounding people call him Yan Dashan.

Crazy, crazy, his father is really crazy!What does it mean to go anonymously to such a poor place to give porridge, and to do good deeds without leaving a name?

"Master, why are you here?" Wu Qiumao recognized Jia Zhen who was dressed in the crowd at a glance. Everyone was wearing burlap, and he was the only one wearing silk and satin.

Jia Zhen was going to leave, but Wu Qiumao said so, so she had to bite the bullet and come to say hello to her father.

Yan Liang asked Jia Zhen to wash her hands, and then handed the long spoon in her hand to Jia Zhen.Jia Zhen imitated others and served porridge for the poor.

Yan Liang looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

"Ah, I happened to pass by here. Father, why would you think of this kind of place to give porridge?" Jia Zhen was afraid of being held accountable, so she quickly asked a question to divert the master's mind.

"Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and good fortune will return." Yan Liang said.

Jia Zhen blinked in a trance, and agreed with a smile, "Yes, yes, you are absolutely right!"

The little beggar came forward with a bowl, and asked with a smile, "Yan Dashan, who is this man?"

"Dog son." Yan Liang replied.

Everyone booed, calling Jia Zhen a "little good man", praising him for his handsome appearance and being a dragon and phoenix among people.

It was the first time Jia Zhen encountered this scene. In the past, the almsgiving in the mansion was always done by servants, and Jia Zhen never came to the scene in person.

Jia Zhen liked to be praised by so many stars, she scratched her head and laughed, and hurriedly took the porridge from the pot to the child's bowl with a spoon.

"Thank you little benevolent person, I wish you a long life!" Although the child's face was a bit dirty, his teeth were white and sweet, and he was very lovable.

Jia Zhen nodded in a daze, and went on to serve porridge to the next person.After ten times and eight times, his movements became proficient and his speed became faster.

Yan Liang sat drinking tea and looked at Jia Zhen by the way.

After returning home, Jia Zhen saluted Yan Liang in an awkward manner, and was about to leave.

"I think since you have time to go out for a stroll, you must have recovered from your injury, so you can start class tomorrow." After Yan Liang said that, he left with a gust of wind.The accompanying servants also followed the master with a roar, leaving Jia Zhen alone in a mess.

Jia Zhen stomped her feet angrily, he knew the master would not let him go.Blame him for being too stupid to follow the master, it's like shooting yourself in the foot!

After Jia Zhen returned to the house, she was so angry that she kicked two vases to pieces.The next day, after a drowsy class with the old gentleman, he returned to his room and found that the two high tables were still empty, and no new vases had been added, so he called his attendants to question him.

"Master, I really don't blame the servants, it's because the cashier refused to give the master the money for the new vase."

"Why?" Jia Zhen jumped angrily.

"They said it was the master's order."

Jia Zhen just remembered that he promised the master to account for those problematic accounts, otherwise there would be no money to spend.

Jia Zhen hurriedly ran to Yan Liang to greet Yan Liang while she was making an appointment at night, and talked about the book by the way.

"Oh, so you donated all the money to the temple to pray for blessings? Tiekan Temple? Very good, I will send someone to check tomorrow. If you dare to deceive me, you should know what will happen." Yan Liang glanced at Jia Zhen's lower body .

"Go ahead and check it out." Jia Zhen promised that You Shi had already helped her go to the temple to settle the matter.

Yan Liang smiled and nodded, "It's best if you have this confidence."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zhen felt a little guilty, and didn't dare to look at Yan Liang, and hurriedly retreated, he went to Youshi and asked her how she was doing.

"It's settled, the master only needs to donate 2000 taels, and they will settle the rest." You Shi laughed.

"You put it on first, and I'll give it to you later." Jia Zhen said with a sigh of relief.

"Shall I put it first? Where do I have money?" Youshi asked in surprise.

Jia Zhen had no choice but to say, "I'm so controlled by the master that I can't pay money in the cashier, you can just pay."

"I can't do it either. Now that the cashier pays more than 500 taels, it will be passed on to the master. At the end of every month, the master will check the account. You call me a daughter-in-law. How can such a large amount go?" Youshi didn't dare Stopping this kind of work, she has experienced how powerful the master is, although she is also afraid of Jia Zhen.But compared to the hatchback, one is heaven and the other is earth, Youshi is not stupid enough to choose to offend heaven.

"Then what do you mean, don't help me?" Jia Zhen asked anxiously.

"At that time, if I can't get it out because of my faltering, the master will still suspect him. When the time comes and the master exposes you, why will the master get angry with you? I think you might as well admit it voluntarily than cheating like this." You said.

Jia Zhen thought about it too, and she had no choice but to take the initiative to admit that all the money was used to coax women.

"In just two years, you spent 9 taels for playing with women, and if you count your other extravagant expenses, you can always have 30 taels. According to your spending, within five years, our house will have to sell our ancestral property to survive. "Yan Liang tapped on the table frequently.

When explaining these words, Yan Liang's expression was calm.But this made Jia Zhen even more frightened, he couldn't imagine what the master would get angry at the next moment. 30 taels!He never thought that he would spend so much money in the past two years.Probably the master went to Xuanzhen Temple, he was suddenly left alone, probably playing... too crazy.

"It's fine to be extravagant, but you were extravagant and dissolute during your mother's funeral!" Yan Liang suddenly raised his voice.

Jia Zhen was startled, knelt on the ground, weeping and tugging at the corner of Yan Liang's robe to show that she really knew she was wrong.

Yan Liang looked at Jia Zhen with a sneer, "What's the use of admitting mistakes?"

Jia Zhen kowtowed and had to express her determination: "No matter what the father says, the son is willing to be punished!"

"After class during the day, practice martial arts for two hours at night." Yan Liang asked sonorously.

Jia Zhen was dumbfounded for three seconds, very puzzled: "Father, I am already this old, you still want me to practice martial arts?"

"Shouldn't you?" Yan Liang said coldly.
