Enemies in the Red Chamber

But it turned out that Jia Lian was afraid that Jia She would cause trouble, so he stayed by Jia She's side to watch.Said that Jia She was meeting friends today, and heard that there was a rare painting in an old man's house, so he took a few servants to see it, and he wanted to buy it if he was satisfied with it.This kid was clever, and felt that this was the time when Second Master Lian said, "If you see Master do something bad, come back to me right away", so he came to report in a hurry.

Jia Lian first rewarded the boy with a piece of silver and asked him to wait on the second gate, and immediately asked Wang Xifeng to wait on him and put on his clothes.

Wang Xifeng said in surprise: "In the past, I also heard that the old man loves Fengya, but he paid money to the account room to buy it. I have never heard of forced buying and selling. Because of this, the second wife was angry a few times. , Even the old lady taught the old man a lesson. How could this be snatched by force? Even if I don’t know how to paint, I know that a really good painting can’t be bought for thousands of taels. Thousands of taels are also available. 500 taels are no different from robbery.”

Jia Lian sneered twice, "Isn't it because of the noble concubine that the Eldest Master dared to do anything? Otherwise, how could he dare to openly violate the court laws with his guts smaller than a mouse? How dare the Second Master run away to others? As an official, how dare the Elder say something other than staying outside in his own home? I bet, in the past, even if he sold his daughter for money outside, he would not dare to pay back his debts, let alone rob other people's things. Now How dare you! I don’t even think about it, if something really happens, it’s better not to make trouble, so why would I try to deal with you? I think it’s great to be a knight, but I don’t know that someone is trying to take your title away!”

After a while, he packed up his body and left with his servant.After Wang Xifeng sent him out, he was stunned for a long time, and just about to call Ping'er, he realized it again, turned his head and smiled, and said to himself, "Who can think of everything", and went to play with sister Qiao. .

Jia Lian didn't care about filial piety and obedience at the moment, and Jia She's maidservants in front of her wanted to tease Jia Lian as before, but Jia Lian kicked her to the heart and fell to the side. She stretched out her hand and pushed Jia She's study room away without notifying her. door to go in.Jia Lian decided to go all out, and the evil things done by the second room can be avoided after waiting for a foreign appointment. At most, the old man is responsible for the crime of lax family management.There are those who want power, money, and fame in this mansion. No one dares to accuse him of being unfilial in the yamen, so what are you afraid of!

"Who is so bold?!" Jia Amnesty was leaning over the desk to admire the painting, when he heard his study door being pushed open suddenly, he asked displeasedly.Looking up, seeing Jia Lian coming in, he waved his hand, "Hi, it's Lian'er."

Jia Lian winked and told the boy he had brought to hold the courtyard door, close the door, stepped forward to roll up the painting on the desk, held it in his hand and asked, "Is this the painting that the master snatched?"

Jia She frowned displeased, and scolded him: "There are no rules! Who are you talking to! What are you doing here without packing your luggage in your room?"

"Oh, my son begged and begged for a position in front of me, thinking about making progress. Who would have thought that the master would not agree with his son, and wanted to drag him back! Today, my son is not afraid of anything, otherwise the master will beat him up. The dead son should be regarded as never having such a son, or the master will do everything according to the son's instructions in the future."

Jia Amnesty didn't even care about getting angry, and wondered, "What happened to you today?"

Jia Lian knelt on the ground and said in detail: "Master Dan knows that the second room has bad intentions, occupied our house, and wants to take our title. Why don't you think about it, if the master is really bad, you still need someone else to take it?" In the past, I used a few extra dollars to buy some cheap things and came back to enjoy myself behind closed doors, or bought some antiques with silver coins in a dignified way, or I didn’t go to court and didn’t go to court. But what is the master doing now? Forcibly buying or robbing other people's things, and one day when he confronts Jinger, can the master figure out how to get out? Besides, since this time, how can anyone know that no one will Instigate the master to have the next time and the next time, even murder and set fire. Not to mention the presence of the imperial concubine and the empress, count the houses in detail, can they be covered forever? It is the former king's house, Queen Li did not After it was settled, it was settled. It was still a dignified empress in the palace, the uncle's family and mother's family of the emperor at that time. It was not because of these, I also asked the master to accumulate some merits for his descendants. Now my son only has sister Qiao under his knees. We have committed too many sins in the past."

Jia Amnesty is hard to say, it's just a trivial matter, how come it is bigger than the sky in Lian'er's mouth? !He also gave the man 500 taels of silver.When Concubine Wu Guifei's natal uncle went hunting, Ming snatched a pair of children from the hunter's family and returned home, wouldn't it be okay?How could the empress not protect her, she still has to have a good reputation.

Jia Lian said again: "I know that when the master does this, a lot of it is because he feels aggrieved at home. After paying so much, he should use their name to play tricks. But if the master thinks so, isn't it just acquiescing to the second room?" Is he the head of the house? Rather than that, it’s better to stay in peace and quiet, and don’t let people pour all the dirty water on us. If the father is really upset, the son would rather be a common man and support his father to express his anger. , what’s the matter!” The last sentence is not called master, but the word father, intended to move people with affection.

Jia Amnesty circled with his hands behind his back.In fact, what he did was just to have fun for a while, and he really didn't think about it so much. Now that Jia Lian said this, even he himself felt that the second room was forcing him to do this. This is also due to the repression of the second room.For a while, I felt that although Jia Lian, a little bastard, didn't give his father face so much today, he was his son after all, and he had never done anything for him in his life, so he still had to help his son this time.After a while, I felt that Jia Lian was just bluffing. No one has done such things before, so it's nothing special.After a while, I feel that my big house is extraordinary because I haven't accumulated merits.After a while, I wondered if that poisonous woman of the Wang family was harming my wife.

It took a while to make up her mind, Lian'er finally realized that she was far away from the second room, no matter what he said was right or not, she had to give him face and not let him leave her heart.Anyway, my life was quite comfortable in the past, and it’s okay if I don’t do these things.

"Okay, okay, I know it's okay, I will be the same as before in the future, I promise that no one can find out my faults, so you can take office at ease." He handed the painting to him again, "Take it away , you can do whatever you want. It’s just a painting, nothing special.”

Jia Lian said with a smile, "Master, so my son can rest assured." Then he promised: "Master, please note that sooner or later, my son will let you live in the main courtyard."

When he was about to leave, he remembered one more thing, and told him: "It's not over if the master doesn't cause trouble himself. If anyone wants to give something to curry favor with the master, the master should be more careful, and he would rather ask the second wife for money to find it by himself." Don't accept gifts at will. Who knows if the gift is unreasonable, if it is really necessary, it will still have to be counted on the master's head."

Jia Amnesty replied impatiently: "I know, I know, hurry up and get out!"

"Son retire."

In the end, even Jia Lian was amazed. He never thought that today would be so smooth. He thought he would at least get a good beating.Back in the room, seeing that Sister Feng had even prepared the sore medicine, the two of them couldn't help but laughed.

At night, after enjoying the service of the two goblins, Jia Amnesty lay on the bed contentedly, thinking about how to teach Wang a lesson.Before I thought of it, I heard one of the goblins touching his chest and begging softly: "Master, my brothers are all fourteen and still playing at home, and they all know that I am the person by your side, so why don't you follow me?" Face is not."

Jia Amnesty thought of a coup in an instant, and slapped the maidservant's buttocks twice, laughing loudly with a crackling sound, "Ms. Wang, Mrs. Wang, I broke your left arm and right arm. What can you do with me!"

Another servant girl looked at him hotly, and twisted her body to rub against him, "Master~~".Jia She turned over and pressed her under him, and the three of them fought again.

Naturally, Jia Amnesty's coup will not be used until after Jia Lian and the others have left.Two days before they left, the mansion set up wine and sang operas to practice for them.Men's seats are set in Ningguo Mansion, while women's seats are still in Rongguo Mansion.Daiyu, Brother Liu and Xiangyun got it naturally, and Brother Liu and Baoyu also stayed at Rongguo Mansion because of the old lady's words.

During the banquet, just after singing "Si Lang Visits His Mother", the old lady said that Xiao Dan and the clown sang well, and Wang Xifeng said, "Why don't you just call them over and have a look, and if they are really good, I will reward them both with money. It's rare to be amusing." The old lady is happy." So he passed it over for a closer look.

At this time, the two of them had already taken off their costumes and hair makeup, leaving only the makeup on their faces, and saluted everyone.Everyone asked a few questions such as how old they are, how many years they have learned to sing, whether they are tired, whether the master scolds them on weekdays, etc., and they also followed the old lady's rewards.

Mrs. Wang pointed to the older one and said: "I see this child looks familiar. He is still wearing make-up. I don't know what he looks like after removing the make-up. He must not know who he resembles. good fortune."

Wang Xifeng sneered disdainfully, no one spoke at the table, even the old lady pretended not to hear.The little opera singers wanted to leave for fear of getting into trouble, but they didn't dare to get permission from their masters, and stood there timidly.

Shi Xiangyun said with a smile, "it looks like sister Lin." When they heard this, they seemed to be alive again. They pretended to look at it carefully and all laughed, but Baoyu seemed anxious but couldn't say anything.

Daiyu has a temper and has been pampered for so many years. For a while, she just feels wronged but forgot the calmness and calmness she learned many years ago. She put the cup in her hand and stood up straight away, "Miss Shi is really serious. No one else can match your good eyes!" Then he called the little actor over and said, "How about I recognize you as my younger sister? From now on, you will be the young lady of Lord Yanzheng's family and the niece of Duke Rong's mansion. Er, sisters of all the girls here, hurry up and clean up a room next to me tomorrow, and you will live with me when you come out, and play and play with everyone on weekdays, okay?"

When he said it was good, he glanced around and sneered in his heart when he saw the people whose faces turned blue and white. Isn't it a joke, let's all join together!Then he smiled and looked at the little actor with gentle eyes.

The little actor's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, "Thank you for your appreciation, miss, I don't dare to accept the lowly family background!"

The old lady frowned and let go: "This Yu'er is just playing tricks. If you like her cleverness, just reward her with a little more money. What's the matter? See if it scares her." Pointing to Wang Momo, she said: "Hurry up and help your girl go back, don't frighten other children."

Nanny Wang was never as considerate as Nanny Li, she just felt that her daughter had been wronged when she met this matter, but she didn't know what to do when Daiyu spoke out, now she saw the old lady's order and hurriedly followed suit.
