Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 64
Jia Cong heard about this place in Qinghualou from the servants of the Lin family, so this is not the reason for Jia Cong's naughtiness.

Originally, he conspired with Jia Lian to create trouble for the officials of Yangzhou Prefecture and the children of those big families, and planned to set up fishing to see if he could help Lin Ruhai.

Unexpectedly, when I inquired about the situation in Yangzhou City, I got a shocking news.

In Yangzhou City, there are rumors that the father-in-law, Master Lin, has an extraordinary relationship with Yangzhou's No. [-] Huakui lady, Miss Jinse of Qinghualou.

This matter was serious, even though Jia Cong was as curious as a cat living in his heart, he didn't dare to inquire too much, for fear of hearing something unspeakable.

After telling the story of the beating just now, he realized the special place of Qinghualou, and he squeezed his mouth to refuse to answer Lin Ruhai's words.

"Heh, I heard from Lin Fu that you and Lian'er are inquiring about the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in Yangzhou Prefecture. I thought you two brothers were just curious, but I haven't seen you go out for a stroll in the past two days. What's the matter?"

Even though they only got along for two or three days, Lin Ruhai still figured out the personalities of the two nephews.

Nonsense is nonsense, skin is skin, but there is nothing bad about it.

Even Jia Lian, the son of the Hou family, has been busy helping himself with the housekeeping these few days, keeping everything in order, not to mention visiting brothels, but he hasn't even had a glass of wine.

"Who said that? It wasn't me! I didn't! It was the second brother who asked me to inquire!"

Jia Cong rubbed the back of his head, and smiled: "I heard that people in Yangzhou Mansion have been making trouble for my father these years, and I plan to join forces with my second brother to trick a few people to vent my anger on my father. By the way, let those families be busy for a while, Save these people from causing trouble to you while your father is recuperating."

"Bullshit!"

Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing, although he had no hope for the plans of Jia Cong and his brothers, but this kind of filial piety was really commendable, and it made Lin Ruhai, who had been alone and struggling all these years, feel extremely heart-warming.

He pinched Jia Cong's face and said with a smile, "My father and I will handle the outside affairs, you and your second brother stay at home, don't go out and mess around."

"Dad, don't worry, the child will not cause trouble, and the child is very familiar with tricks..."

Jia Cong didn't intend to stay at home obediently, he and Jia Lian had discussed this matter, how could they not make some noise after all the money was spent.

Seeing that Jia Cong had made up his mind, Lin Ruhai didn't try to dissuade him too much.Anyway, with him and Jia Amnesty around, the sky won't fall, so let the two children make a fuss, the muddier the water in Yangzhou, the better for him.

At this time, the servant next to Jia Lian came to look for Jia Cong. Lin Ruhai patted Jia Cong on the head and said, "It seems that the guests are coming, so you and Lian'er will go to meet them for me. Don't be rude."

Jia Cong patted his chest and replied, "Don't worry, Daddy, the child knows what to do."

Before going out, Jia Cong showed his brains in the door frame, and asked with a smile: "What is the relationship between Daddy and Mrs. Jinse of Qinghua Building? My son is going to hold a banquet in Qinghua Building for the young master of Yangzhou Mansion. Will you give it to me?" Daddy got into trouble?"

Now Lin Ruhai scolded with a grumpy smile: "What does it matter? It's just that I listen to her singing occasionally. Roll on, you really deserve a beating, you brat. I'll let my uncle beat you again later!"

……

There are quite a few guests from Lin's House today, from Pei Weisheng, Governor of Water Transportation of the second rank, Zhen Yingjia, President of Jinling Tirenyuan of the third rank, Tang Guangbiao, magistrate of Yangzhou, the fourth rank, down to the Lu family, Yang family, Tan family, and Sun family of the six major salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. , Mo's, and Bai's were all visited by the head of the family.

Almost all of these people brought their wives and young masters and young ladies with them. Luxurious carriages stopped in front of Lin's mansion one after another, and Jia Lian and Jia Cong welcomed them into the mansion.

After makeup, Lin Ruhai's face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and he seemed to be dying soon.Uncle Jia Amnesty looked sad, and the two brothers Jia Lian and Jia Cong also looked sad. It seemed that the entire Lin family gave Pei Weisheng and others a sense of desolation and sadness.

After coming out of Lin Ruhai's room, everyone sat in the front hall and sipped tea.

Jia Amnesty entrusted the six major salt merchants to Jia Lian for entertainment, while he, Pei Weisheng, Zhen Yingjia, and Tang Guangbiao went to the Lin family's study.

As soon as Pei Weisheng entered the study, he said impatiently: "Brother Enhou, it's not that I insist on disturbing Mr. Lin's recovery. It's because the sage is pressing hard. The whereabouts of the salt tax are still unknown. If I can't find it again, I have to take it off." This official uniform is going home for the elderly!"

Jia Amnesty looked at Pei Weisheng in disbelief, "What? Brother Pei, don't you know that the money is now in a manor outside Huai'an Mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Yingjia was shocked, Tang Guangbiao looked confused, but Pei Weisheng was overjoyed, grabbed Jia Amnesty's hand and asked quickly.

"But it's true? I don't know anything about this matter. Where did Brother Enhou get the news? Can you tell me? Just say what Brother Enhou wants, but I will do my best if I can do it!"

At this time, Jia She is Pei Weisheng's reborn parents, even if Jia She asks him to bring the concubine No. 18 into the house, he will send it to Jia She without hesitation.

Resisting the greasy Jia She, he broke Pei Weisheng's hand away without a trace, looked at Zhen Yingjia who was hesitant to speak meaningfully, and said in a low voice: "It's a coincidence that I encountered water bandits at the Huai'an Mansion pier that day. Attack, Habayashirou, sent by the saint to protect the imperial gift, captured some water bandits alive, and after the first trial, he found out the whereabouts of the lost salt tax..."

Now it was Zhen Yingjia's turn to get nervous, and Zhen Yingyu ran back to Jinling overnight and told him that the guard next to Jia She was probably Habayashiro, but it turned out to be true!
It's over now, Habayashiro is the emperor's pro-army, and I'm afraid we can't hide the salt tax and silver.

This is how to do?Perhaps in a few days, the imperial decree will arrive in Jinling, and the more than one hundred members of the Zhen family will all have to go to Caishikou to experience it!

Snapped!
Overjoyed, Pei Weisheng slapped the table suddenly, and the sudden sound made Zhen Yingjia, who was falling into despair, slump down on the ground.

Pei Weisheng looked at Zhen Yingjia in confusion, and asked curiously, "Huh? Why is President Zhen sitting on the ground?"

Zhen Yingjia smiled uglier than crying, and said against her will: "Suddenly heard that there was news about the lost salt tax, I was overjoyed, my legs shook and I accidentally didn't sit still..."

……

Today, many female family members also came, not only Tang Guangbiao's wife brought their daughters, but also the wives of the six major salt merchants brought their daughters.

As the only girl in the Lin family, Daiyu entertained guests in the back hall accompanied by two nuns.

Let’s say that today’s weather is fine, and the courtyard is full of beautiful flowers in the high autumn air. The ladies led a group of flower bones, accompanied by Daiyu, to enjoy the beauty of the small garden of the Lin Mansion.

Although Daiyu is only ten years old, and because of her frailty since she was a child, she is a little timid, but Daiyu has a peerless appearance, a rare and handsome appearance.

The demeanor of the Lin family was fully displayed during the conversation, making the garden full of jewels and emeralds dare not be underestimated, and some women even whispered quietly, saying that the rumors that the daughters of the Lin family were poorly educated could not be true.

If such daughters are poorly brought up, then they are all vulgar fans, shameless!
While visiting the garden, there was a sudden noise outside the garden gate.

Daiyu frowned and whispered a few words to Wang Momo, Wang Momo who went to investigate soon came back, and whispered in Daiyu's ear: "It's the two sons of the salt merchant Yang family and the Tan family who want to break into the house. When they came to the courtyard, Third Master Cong had already received the letter, and ordered them to arrest the two of them, and they were going to hang them in the front yard and give them a good beating!"
