The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 128
Wang Ziteng asked Jia Huan to sit down, but the latter would not be too big to actually sit down, so he continued to stand.Seeing this, Wang Ziteng didn't force himself, just took a sip from his teacup, and after a few seconds of ecstasy, he smiled and said, "I vaguely heard earlier that Brother Huan had some conflicts with your second sister-in-law, and had a fight with your benevolent cousin. Not fast, is it?"

Jia Huan's heart tightened. Although Wang Ziteng was smiling when he spoke, it still made him feel an invisible pressure. Concealing it, I did have some small conflicts with my second sister-in-law because of a misunderstanding, but now the past has been resolved, and as for Cousin Ren, my nephew is indeed dissatisfied with him."

A look of surprise flashed in Wang Ziteng's eyes. He thought Jia Huan would deny it, but he didn't expect the kid to admit it frankly, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Since the conflict between Brother Huan and Girl Feng has been resolved, what is wrong with him?" Well, then I won't ask any more questions, but why are you dissatisfied with your benevolent cousin?"

Jia Huan said slightly angrily: "It's because Cousin Ren has gone too far and tried to snatch the property under my name at a low price. I don't agree. He also wanted to beat me violently, and he even conspired with others to rape me afterwards." Buy it. My nephew has always heard that my uncle is upright and fair, with a stern face, and since my uncle asked about it today, my nephew has the guts to let my uncle comment on it."

Ma Fen, who was standing beside him, grinned grinningly when he heard the words. The boy is quite eloquent, but he turned against the general and tried to hold the master up with a tall hat, which is a bit too naive.

A gleam flashed in Wang Ziteng's eyes, and he lowered his face and said: "In this way, it is indeed Cousin Ni Ren, but since Brother Huan is doing business with the Seventh Prince, why didn't he say it clearly in advance? Or deliberately conceal it. Let your benevolent cousin suffer from the Seventh Prince?"

When Wang Ziteng said this, his eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, and the momentum on his body was released suddenly. Jia Huan suddenly felt the pressure pressing down like a mountain. Tsk tsk, if it was the little Jia Huan from before, I am afraid that he would have been so frightened that he knelt down and cried bitterly at this moment Please forgive me.

"Uncle Mingjian, my nephew definitely didn't hide it on purpose, because my nephew didn't know beforehand that Xu Wei was the Seventh Prince Xu Wenhou, and my nephew had already explained this to the old lady and the wife." Jia Huan said while wiping his forehead. There was cold sweat and panic on his face.

Wang Ziteng stared at Jia Huan coldly, as if he was weighing the truth of what Jia Huan said, after a long time he calmed down and said, "Brother Huan, it's not that uncle and I are protecting our shortcomings, it's true that this matter has hurt my Wang family too much. Your benevolent cousin and uncle are still in Jinyiwei’s prison, and the crimes involved range from beheading to exile.”

Jia Huan stood with his head bowed, with a look of panic at a loss, and said stutteringly: "My nephew didn't intend to harm Cousin Ren, and I really didn't know the real identity of the Seventh Prince beforehand."

Wang Ziteng sighed and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is irreversible, Brother Huan, this matter cannot be completely blamed on you, after careful calculation, it is your cousin's own fault."

This turn was a bit hasty, and if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so Jia Huan remained silent and did not answer, still pretending to be at a loss.

Wang Ziteng glanced at Jia Huan, and said seriously, "Brother Huan, don't panic, I don't want to blame you, but you have to understand that the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue are in the same spirit, and we all prosper and all suffer. If there is damage, we should support each other and take care of each other, instead of tearing each other down and fighting each other, do you think so?"

Jia Huan nodded and said: "What uncle said is that my nephew also asked the Seventh Prince to intercede for Cousin Ren, but he was unsuccessful and was beaten up instead."

Wang Ziteng hummed and said: "I heard your mother mention this matter, Brother Huan, you have a heart and try your best, so uncle doesn't blame you, but from now on, brothers and sisters should love each other and listen to you." As for your mother, if you are wronged at home, don’t hide it in your heart, tell your mother, it’s okay to talk to your uncle at the worst, and don’t turn a small conflict into a big enmity.”

"Yes, my nephew always remembers my uncle's teaching." Jia Huan said respectfully.

Wang Ziteng nodded in satisfaction and said: "Brother Huan, you are a seed for studying, and your future is boundless, but don't forget your roots. Without roots, you can only be duckweed drifting with the tide, and you will never grow up." Those who become towering trees, remember to remember."

Jia Huan nodded quickly and said yes, and had to admire Wang Ziteng's eloquence and wrist. From the first sentence of the meeting, he first raised and then lowered, then raised and lowered, strong and soft, both kind and powerful. Maturity, I'm afraid it has been repaired to be docile at this moment.

Seeing Jia Huan's respectful look, Wang Ziteng seemed to have a good effect, so he smiled and said, "Your third uncle (Wang Zisheng) has a daughter under his knees, who is six years old and looks very fresh. I'm afraid I won't lose to your Lian's second sister-in-law, how about marrying you as a wife?"

Jia Huan almost fell head over heels, the old fox finally showed his tail, Ganqing's real purpose today is not to warn himself, but to win him over, just talking about it is not enough, even the tricks of marriage have been used, but it must not be admitted , Wang Ziteng is worthy of being the person who carries the banner of the Wang family. Both his vision and layout are many times higher than those of Mrs. Wang.

Fearing that she would threaten Jia Baoyu's status and interests, Mrs. Wang desperately suppressed herself, but what Wang Ziteng thought of was to win over and tie herself to the Wang family's boat.

"Huan'er is still young, and now it's time to focus on earning fame. It's not appropriate to think about marriage for the time being, so my uncle's kindness is appreciated." Even faster, the quality of the Wang family's women alone is not flattering.

Mrs. Wang is illiterate, Aunt Xue is illiterate, Wang Xifeng is also illiterate, and Wang Zisheng’s daughter must also be illiterate. There is a high probability that the level and pattern of mind will be much different.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are two good models. It is scary to think about this kind of woman marrying back home. Jia Huan naturally stays at a respectful distance.

Wang Ziteng heard the words and said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter if you are young, get engaged first, and then get married when you are older."

Jia Huan shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Let's talk about it in a few years after the provincial examination. Besides, my cousin is only six years old. When she is a few years older and sensible, she may have her own ideas."

A trace of displeasure flashed in Wang Ziteng's eyes when he heard the words, and he said lightly: "Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. What can she think, but since Brother Huan is only obsessed with the imperial examinations at the moment, delaying the engagement for a few years is also a problem." It doesn't matter, wait until Brother Huan wins Juren before getting engaged, it will be a double happiness."

Jia Huan could only pretend to be shy, so as not to further arouse Wang Ziteng's displeasure.

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Ziteng sent Jia Huan away.

Watching Jia Huan leave the inner hall, Wang Ziteng's expression darkened immediately, and he said coldly, "You really are a little cunning."

The long follower Ma Fen said cautiously: "Master, this servant thinks that Jia Huan is nothing more than that, why bother to win him over, he can kill him with one palm."

Wang Ziteng glanced at Ma Fen, and said with a sneer: "This son is the leader of the trial case in the Lianzhong County Trial and Mansion. He has made friends with the Seventh Prince and is appreciated by the King of Beijing. Such a person can't be called that much?"

Ma Fen said embarrassingly: "This kid may have some talents, but he is not as good as the rumors. When he heard that the master wanted to see him, he was very nervous along the way. He almost fell when he entered the door. Just now the master said it was serious. When talking, this kid was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, which shows that he is a coward."

Wang Ziteng said disdainfully: "You know what a fart, this kid killed a tartar in Pine Garden, how can such a person be timid?"

Hearing this, Ma Fen stammered: "What does the master mean... are all his fear and nervousness faking?"

Wang Ziteng sneered and said: "This kid is just a cunning trick. How can he hide it from me? It's a pity that this kid doesn't seem to be optimistic about my Wang family, and he is very wary. Otherwise, how can he win me over and use it for me?" It is not a thousand times stronger than suppressing him."

Ma Fen couldn't help being dumbfounded, it turned out that the master was so optimistic about this son, so he said cautiously: "Then what should we do now?"

Wang Ziteng pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "Since this kid doesn't know how to praise, then let him suffer a little bit. Press him for three years first, and if he doesn't know how to behave by then, don't blame me for being hot."

Wang Ziteng said with a sharp light in his eyes, and put the teacup in his hand heavily on the tea table. How can he be a good man and a faithful woman to sit in his current position.If Jia Huan can't be used for himself, but will harm his own interests, then the better Jia Huan is, the more dangerous he is, and he should not be destroyed continuously.

Ma Fen's heart shuddered, and he said cautiously: "Then how should we deal with the matter between Brother Ren and the elder?"

Wang Ziteng sighed and said: "How else can we deal with it? The emperor is aggrieved now, and he can't help me. He will inevitably take out his anger on them. It would be good to save his life. Exile for three thousand miles is the best result. Get ready. Let’s set off for Miyun tomorrow.”

If only Gubeikou was breached, it would be enough for the general guarding the gate, Qi Yuanchao, to take the blame. But if the Tatars killed Tongzhou and the foot of the capital, then one Qi Yuanchao was obviously not enough, and someone had to take responsibility.

Let’s say that when Jia Huan returned to his residence, he found Liu Xianglian was carrying a bundle and was about to go out, so he hurriedly asked, “Second brother Liu is going out?”

Liu Xianglian nodded with a smile and said, "There is no feast that never ends, Brother Huan, I will be leaving Tongzhou for a while."

In the past month, Jia Huan and Liu Xianglian got along very happily. He taught the latter to play the flute, and the latter taught him swordsmanship. Although they are very different in age, they also know each other well. At this moment, Liu Xianglian suddenly said that he wanted to leave. Unavoidably feeling a little bit reluctant, he asked, "Where is Second Brother Liu planning to go?"
