Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 303 What's wrong with my sister-in-law?

"Have you figured out what to do?" After Wang Zisheng left, Jia Ying asked Jia Lian again.

After a moment of silence, Jia Lian asked, "Second brother, Master Shi Er really sent someone to attack Uncle and Sister Lin?"

Jia Ying nodded and said, "The person who attacked Yu'er in Beijing was definitely sent by him. As for the assassin outside Shanhaiguan, even if he didn't send it, it is probably related to him. He himself It’s already caught in it, and it’s inseparable.”

"Who is the mastermind? Does His Majesty know these things?"

"Who is the person behind it? I have some guesses. It's just that some things haven't been clarified yet, so it's hard to make a conclusion. As for Your Majesty, I can find out more. It's empty talk."

After finishing speaking, Jia Ying looked at Jia Lian again and said, "You may have many doubts in your heart, if you have any questions, please ask them all together."

After this incident, Jia Ying didn't intend to hide anything from Jia Lian anymore. If she could still choose to support him at this time, Jia Ying couldn't treat Jia Lian as an outsider. After all, this kind of thing is risky.

Hearing this, Jia Lian's expression changed, and he sighed slightly and said, "Jia Shi Wang Xue, this is not empty talk. The four great families that used to be, in the eyes of many people, are the noble families that cannot be touched by generations. I just didn't expect that the four famous families would come to this point."

"Second, you know that I didn't care about these things before, but now it's gone. In the past, I was the leader of Rongfu's family, so I can be regarded as a dude at best."

Seeing Jia Lian's suddenly mature appearance, Jia Ying couldn't help teasing, "Not at most, you are."

"Second brother, I'm talking to you about something serious, very serious." Jia Lian had a rare expression on his face, imitating Jia Zheng's style, but Jia Ying seemed not only not used to it, but also a little funny.

But it's rare that Lian Er has a heart. This is a good thing. He should be happy to see his success and not be discouraged.

"You say, I listen."

"You interrupt me like this, so I have to brew it." Lian Er complained, and after a short pause, he continued:

"In the past, it was my father who took the title. The success or failure of the family is all his business. Even if I lose, it will not hinder me in front of my ancestors. To be honest, when I first received the title, I was still a little happy. Second Master Lian can always hold his eyebrows high and proud, and after asking for his order, let's see if Yasha Xing dares to stop me from taking a concubine."

"But what followed was a piece of shit. You offended the historians, and I offended the Wang family. Only then did I realize that the so-called four major families were nothing more than that. But I couldn't figure out why. to where it is today?"

Jia Ying was also thinking, why?It may be because he rescued the orphan girl of the Qi family in Huguang, otherwise his mentor Feng Yankuan would not have found out about Fei Lianbaosi. At the end of the day, he will not rebel, Xu Zhemu will not and will not be exiled with his family, Lin Ruhai will die young, Li Endi may retire later and more beautifully, maybe he can be added a third division title No matter how bad it is, it is one of the three masters of the prince.

With Li Endi around, Xungui would still be the original interest group, and naturally he wouldn't be where he is today.

But what's the use of saying this now, the worst thing is that he suddenly came to this world.

Jia Ying smiled lightly, looked at Jia Lian and said, "Maybe it's because I'm too greedy, I tied Jia's family to this carriage forcibly and couldn't stop."

"However, there is a saying that is true, prosperity must decline. When I entered Beijing and passed through Huguang, my mentor Heng Shigong once told me that Donglai Gongzhi was in Xungui, and told me to prepare early after entering Beijing. Today's situation The status quo, even without you and me, will appear in front of you in another form because of others. So, there is nothing to worry about, at least we have tried hard before, and the result will not be worse, right? "

Jia Lian suddenly asked: "Are you so sure that the loser will be Xungui?"

Jia Ying said with a smile: "It's only a hundred years since the establishment of the dynasty. It's the time when it's full of vitality and progress. For a dynasty that can unify the Kyushu, how many have you heard of whose status is less than a hundred years? Since the dynasty It won't die, and it will be a matter of time before Xungui loses, and Xungui can't delay it compared to time."

"Furthermore, if the dynasty falls, how many of these centuries-old homes will be left?"

"Last question, will you win this time?" Jia Lian looked at Jia Ying seriously.

Jia Ying shook his head and said: "That depends on how the battle in the north is going. The army is ready, the food and grass are sufficient. For this matter, His Majesty and the princes of the court have been preparing for more than a year. If we can rely on this battle Completely destroy the Xiongnu, even if they are maimed and abolished, northern Xinjiang will usher in at least 20 years of stability, and then His Majesty will be able to free up his hands to do unfinished business. Otherwise."

"So, we should pray that this Northern Expedition will go smoothly."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "I understand."

At this time, Jia Zhen came back, along with Jia Zheng.

Perhaps anticipating the embarrassing scene just now, Jia Zheng avoided showing up from the beginning to the end.It's no wonder he, the three nephews made his brother-in-law half-full of anger, only Jia Ying and Jia Lian were enough for him to have a headache, and Jia Zhen also stabbed him with a gun and a stick, what do you ask him to do.

Fortunately, Jia Zheng was not in the same bureau as Jia Lian, otherwise he wouldn't have to go back to his room at night.

"Ying'er, just now," Jia Zheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to apologize, but Wang Zisheng came to the door to make things difficult, but he, the elder, was not there.

"Second Master, my nephew understands your difficulties, and I have relatives on both sides. I didn't want to involve you in the first place, so you don't have to feel embarrassed."

What Jia Ying said was the truth, it would be very rare if he didn't make trouble at this time.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but nodded in relief.

"Words came out from the palace lady, but the others didn't say anything. They just mentioned something irrelevant, saying that in this palace draft, a cousin of my uncle's family was dismissed by the female official Shangyi because of her lack of status in front of the palace. It's over, everything in the palace is regulated, and she can't interfere wantonly', empress, please tell her to let her temper her heart and choose again in the next year."

It is not a secret among the four families that the Wang family has sharpened their heads and wanted to send their daughter-in-law to the palace. They were defeated a few times before, but they did not say the reason. This time it is a bit abnormal. Was deposed because of no status in front of the palace?How "reasonable" must be the female officials in the palace to do such a thing.

I just don't know if it was the emperor's meaning or Yuan Chun's meaning.Fortunately, the Wang family had already failed several times, so the damage was not serious.

While the uncle and nephew were talking, Lian Er and Jia Zhen were also having a conversation on the other side.

"Brother Zhen, where are you on?"

Jia Zhen said with a righteous face: "I am the patriarch of the Jia family, so naturally I stand on my own side, but I can't do things like the second child who doesn't talk about human nature and the world. Alas, it's hard for the patriarch to do things."

"How did I hear that you have been getting very close to Chen Wenrui and others recently, aren't you trying to tear down the second child?" Jia Lian said relentlessly.

"What do you know?" Jia Zhen snorted softly and said, "As for the situation in the court, I still have a good idea, Shi Ding is definitely going to fall this time, even if there is an uncle who comes forward to help, the result will be the same.

But the dispute between civil and military is not something that can be decided in a short time. No matter how great the odds of the second child's victory are in the future, he has to get through the current hurdle first.Our family has a big business, how can we stand such a toss, eggs can't be put in one basket, do you understand? "

Seeing Jia Lian's disbelief, Jia Zhen said in a sober tone, "Just wait and see, there will be troublesome people coming to the door recently."

"Who's looking for trouble?"

Jia Ying came over at some point and said to Jia Zhen, "Brother Zhen is also here today, so I have to say something in advance."

"What's the matter?" Jia Zhen asked.

"There are always a few people in the mansion who eat inside and outside. They were kept in the past because they didn't want to startle the snake. Now that they are free, it's time to clean it up. When the time comes, brother Zhen, please don't be offended."

He also heard what Jia Zhen said just now. As for whether it is true or not, it is hard to say. Jia Ying himself does not believe it. Just let him go.

Before leaving the Rong Mansion, Jia Lian brought up the idea of ​​wanting to be a foreigner. After Jia Ying heard this, she also understood Jia Lian's choice, and just nodded silently, keeping it in mind.

At the gate of Caidao Rong Mansion, Jia Ying changed into a stern expression, Xi'er was waiting at the gate with a few personal guards, and there was also a group of soldiers.

"My Lord has already greeted the two governments. You take someone to bring him to Zhongcheng Bingma Division. It is an important case related to the life and death of the officers and soldiers of the Division. Let Che Zhen try it and report it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for approval. I will not ask questions. .”

"It's the second master."

Xi'er turned around and waved to the people behind her. Several personal guards went to the East Mansion, and the Bing Ma Si went to the Lai's mansion.

After Jia Ying walked slowly, he also walked towards the East Mansion. In the mansion, he met Lai Er who was leading Xi'er and his party to fetch someone. With a touch of lightness.

The matter of Lai Shangrong was obtained from Jia Rong. About half a month before the incident, Lai Shangrong began to host frequently, entertaining the soldiers who were watching the night nearby. Although the matter was kept secret, it could not be hidden from the eyes of many servants in the mansion. .

Jia Ying didn't care how Jia Rong got the news. To him, the Lai family was nothing more than ants.Seeing loyalty, he would enjoy the food, and the seller begged Rong to eat the inside and outside, and he just disposed of it casually, without even needing him to do it himself.

As for Lai Er, it was Jia Rong who begged. Jia Ying didn't ask about the past between the two of them, it was just to save Jia Rong's face.

But now it seems that the chief executive of the Eastern Mansion intends to kill his relatives righteously. As for whether there will be any excuses afterwards, or whether he will have repeated thoughts. If he dares to jump up, he can just be crushed to death, and it doesn't take much effort.

The reason why it took a lot of trouble to send him to the Military Division for conviction was because Jia Ying didn't want to leave a mouthful of words to others and sow the seeds of disaster for himself.

Lai's family has a son, but Lai Shangrong has already released his citizenship. Moreover, the new policy of the imperial court ordered the abolition of humble citizenship. Although it is not a felony to kill a domestic slave, it is hard to guarantee that no one will make a fuss about it.

The way to be an official, if you want to think about it for a long time, the first word is "cautious and independent". If you can use legal means to achieve your goal, why do you have to take risks?

Everyone in the mansion was alarmed, Lai Shangrong and several deacons and servants were tied up and taken out, Youshi came to inquire and happened to meet Jia Ying.

"I hope my sister-in-law will forgive me for disturbing the peace of my sister-in-law."

Seeing Jia Ying here, Mrs. You didn't stop him, but asked, "What happened?"

Jia Ying nodded and said: "Five soldiers under my command were missing, and finally found Lai Shangrong's head. I have already greeted Brother Zhen, and I came here just to say hello to my sister-in-law, so as not to be abrupt."

"But it has something to do with the attack on sister Lin by the bandit in the mansion?" It's not difficult for You Shi to guess why Jia Ying made such a fuss. They don’t even remember the slightest bit of their kindness, and they actually do this kind of thing, the two Ying brothers just take people and let them stay in the mansion, who knows what kind of outrageous things they will do.”

"Lai Er over there."

"This matter has nothing to do with him. Rong'er begged me again, so keep it. After all, there can't be everyone in the mansion."

Lai Er also came over at this time, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, grandma and second master, for your generosity. Don't worry, grandma and second master. From now on, I will serve you masters with all my heart. heart, otherwise the little one will suffer a terrible death."

Jia Ying snorted coldly and said, "It's your fate. You met a benevolent master like Grandma and Brother Rong pleading for you. Then Lai Shangrong is your nephew. I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back this time. No complaints?"

"Second master, when that wolf cub did that shady thing, why didn't he think that the younger one was his second uncle, and that the younger one got his errands in the mansion only after he begged the uncle. To bear a debt of gratitude is to be disloyal, to implicate one's parents is to be unfilial, such an unfaithful and unfilial person, the little ones dare not marry him, it is better to break it off as soon as possible."

Jia Ying smiled softly and said: "You don't have to say these loyal words, even if you have complaints in your heart, it doesn't matter, I gave him a chance for your elder brother's family, and I will give you a chance today, whether to go with them or to be with them The relationship between master and servant depends on your own choice."

Lai Er was drenched in sweat, just lying on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Jia Ying gave You Shi a wink, You Shi understood, and said: "You are also an elderly person, get up quickly, I also see how you have been in the past, otherwise I will not keep you, you After all, that nephew came from the West Mansion, and he is different from you, from now on you will still be in charge of the manager, just remember to do your own thing, if there is a next time, no one will be able to protect you."

"Grandma's benevolence and righteousness, I will keep it in my heart, and I will serve and honor the second master and grandma wholeheartedly in the future." Lai Er, who is about the same age as Jia Zheng, is crying with snot and tears at this time, and he doesn't know why. Acting is still from the heart.

It's just that Youshi on the side was very uncomfortable after hearing Lai Er's words. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, but there was always something strange about it.

What about the second master and grandma, how can they talk like this, they are also in a daze.

"Okay, you go down too."

Lai Er wiped his tears and turned to leave, but he said those words on purpose just now, the East Mansion has never been normal before, and he has seen too many things, Er Ye Ying and Grandma's singing together is comparable to Jane's. The uncle is still like the master of the house.

Jia Ying, who was at the side, saw Youshi's cheeks suddenly flushed, and asked suspiciously:

"Sister-in-law is not feeling well, why is her face so red?"

Youshi was even more ashamed, it was just a stupid talk, but she was thinking wildly in her mind, let Jia Ying see her embarrassing things, she glared at Jia Ying under shame and indignation, trembling her waist, twisting her plump buttocks, head He left without going back.

Before leaving the East Mansion Gate, Jia Ying took off the jade pendant around her waist, threw it to Lai Er who was bowing beside her and said, "Your reward."

There is a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, and the scenery is beautiful today.
