Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 23 Slap you to death

After changing clothes, Jia Lian asked Guixiang to take him to the study to meet.

Ping'er's heart was also beating hard. Her fate was tied to Wang Xifeng's, and she must have come as a dowry for the marriage.

Jia Lian's attitude determines most of her future fate.

Seeing Jia Lian standing in front of the desk with a smile on his face, Ping'er's nervousness eased a little. He came forward to say blessings and said: "Ping'er has met the second master, and the lady asked me to bring a return gift and a message."

The eyes were the most real, Ping'er felt it very clearly, and Jia Lian's eyes were full of appreciation for her.

"What message did your lady ask you to deliver?" Jia Lian sat down with a smile, and did not ask Ping'er to sit down and talk. This was normal. If you really want her to sit down, drink tea and talk, Ping'er will have a heart attack.

"The picture album sent by the second master, the lady likes it very much after reading it. I wanted to write a reply in person. Haven't I just learned a few days? The slave came here with a message and a sachet embroidered by the lady herself." Ping'er said When the sachet was presented, Jia Lian took it and looked at it. He couldn't tell whether the embroidery was good or bad, but he must have put a lot of thought into it.

"I like it very much. Go back and thank your lady for me!" As he spoke, Jia Lian put it into his sleeves instead of putting it aside. This made Ping'er feel a little regretful. It would have been nice if he had embroidered this by himself. There will still be opportunities in the future.

Ping'er is Tongfang, what does this do? When a couple does something private, someone needs to be there to wait on them, and when necessary, they have to step in to help. If Wang Xifeng is pregnant, Ping'er will have to support her to prevent the vixens from outside from taking advantage of her.

Jia Lian's appearance is the best, the kind of person who can live on a soft diet in modern society. Regardless of size, most women like handsome men. I don’t know what Jia Lian was like before, but now he looks like a handsome and elegant scholar. Ping'er knows her future, and with her intelligence, she can naturally grasp the scale of getting along with Jia Lian.

"The young lady also said that she is learning to read and write. The words on this paper were written by her. In a few days, she will be able to reply in her own hand."

Ping'er took out the calligraphy written by Wang Xifeng from his sleeve. Jia Lian wanted to laugh but couldn't hold it back. It would be great if Wang Xifeng could devote himself to practicing calligraphy. Don't expect too much. Thinking about it, Jia Lian opened the inkstone to grind it. Ping'er saw this and stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."

Jia Lian was not polite, nodded, unfolded a piece of paper, when the ink was ready, he picked up the pen and wrote "Study hard and make progress every day", put the pen down and blew it dry, handed it to Ping'er and said: "There are hundreds of people in the Jia family, all kinds of flowers." If you can't write accounts, you can't read, you can't count, and you're deaf and mute, how can you manage the house? If you learn to read and count, you can help me in the future."

When Ping'er took it, Jia Lian's fingertips passed over his hand. With such a little contact, Ping'er felt like he was getting an electric shock. When he looked up and met Jia Lian's eyes, Ping'er felt endless tenderness. His heart suddenly skipped a beat and his cheeks felt slightly warm.

The girl's emotions are warm and sincere. Ping'er, who was born in the Wang family, realized very early that life was not easy, but still had a beautiful yearning for relationships. In the future, having a male host who likes me will be what I look forward to the most.

Naturally, Ping'er would not fantasize about Wang Xifeng's replacement.

"Ping'er remembers it. Miss is still waiting for news. I'm going back." Ping'er who quickly calmed down bowed and said goodbye. Jia Lian walked to the door of the study and asked Guixiang to be sent back.

Jia Lian is not in a hurry. From now on, Ping'er will definitely come and go between the two. With Ping'er helping, Jia Lian is very confident in Wang Xifeng's transformation. Things related to the back house are naturally not trivial, but they are not urgent and I have time to take care of them slowly.

The top priority was the imperial examination, which was related to his future and destiny. He said that he wanted to familiarize himself with the situation. In fact, Jia Lian still hoped to come back as a scholar, and he could even get whatever he got in the examination.

In this era, the imperial examination is really a channel that can change your destiny. From this point of view, it is significant.

If possible, Jia Lian wouldn't mind being a second-generation dandy. The problem is that the heads of Rong Ning's second house are all useless people who fail to succeed but fail to succeed. However, they all feel good about themselves.

In the evening, Jia Lian stayed up late again. This time he did not draw the little book, but concentrated on finishing the homework assigned by Old Master Fang.

The five articles that were completed the next day were handed in. Old Master Fang nodded with satisfaction. During this period, Jia Lian's eight-legged skill had improved a lot. Looking at these articles from Old Master Fang's perspective, it was not a big problem to become a scholar. The main reason is that Jia Lian has a very old foundation and is not familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, so it is difficult for him to make a difference in the examination room.

"Don't blame me for being strict. After entering the examination room, I have to write an average of two good essays every day. The rhyme and rhyme of the poem are correct, as long as you don't violate taboos. Therefore, it is important to do well in the essay, but it is also important to do it quickly. Otherwise, you can do it. No matter how good it is, it will be in vain if there is not enough time.”

The old master was imparting his experience in the imperial examination. Naturally, Jia Lian was not worried about his imperial examination results. It was impossible for any gentleman in Qingyun Academy to teach in Qingyun Academy without the title of Jinshi.

The old master's words reminded Jia Lian of an important thing. He had to get a "Book of Rhymes" to memorize.

Jia Lian's ecological environment in the class has changed a lot, and he is more popular than before.

A group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys naturally have little resistance to the image carefully set by the sophisticated Jia Lian.

Among them, Jia Lian's reading notes played a huge role. Many contents that were ignored in class were clear and understandable when I took a look at the notes. Being born well is not something you can decide on your own, but how you behave is something you can decide later in life.

He is always modest, cautious and unassuming to others, and he always maintains a friendly attitude towards his classmates. Who wouldn't like such an image?
  Of course there are exceptions, such as a small group of six people led by Guo Song. The characteristic of this group of people is that their parents are officials, they act in a high-profile manner and always seem to be superior to others. Comparing the two, the students are not stupid, no one is willing to kneel down and lick others.

Naturally, Jia Lian was very popular, and Guo Song and others could only play their own game.

In contrast, Jia Lian seems to be good with everyone, but in fact he has no particularly close classmates.

This is caused by mentality. Jia Lian is an adult at heart, and is always at a distance from the enthusiasm of teenagers. There was also a reason why everyone looked at Jia Lian in a different light at the beginning.

After school, Jia Lian, the only day student, was on his way home when three strong men walked towards him.

The two families following him immediately overtook Jia Lian and rushed forward to block possible harm from the intruder.

"Second Master Lian, please be polite. My master is in the teahouse in front and would like to invite Master Lian to come over and have a chat." The speaker's voice was a bit sharp and he looked like he was in his thirties. Jia Lian met this man once during a spring outing, so he knew who his master was.

Some people are destined to be troubles, or troubles you can't solve. For example, the owner of this chamberlain.

"Go back and tell your master that there is no need to meet. It will not be good for him or me." Jia Lian responded very simply. The visitor looked angry after hearing this. He couldn't get angry in broad daylight and could only glare at Jia Lian and count. He sighed, turned around and left angrily, without saying goodbye.

If a slave is like this, the master can imagine it. But Jia Lian no longer cared about whether he would offend His Highness the Third.

There are things like this in the Jia family that you should never touch. Smart people all know who will be loyal to whom as the emperor, and placing bets in advance is called gambling. The Jia family is a double family, why do they want to gamble? Even if you do nothing, pay the price of lowered living standards, and just hang around until the end of the Zhou Dynasty, it won't be a problem. So, how unreasonable is it to risk the entire family on Conglong's achievements?

In the teahouse diagonally opposite, the third prince Li Heng was staring. Even if Jia Lian walked away, he had no intention of moving.

Behind him, the eunuch came back to report. The original text conveyed Jia Lian's words. Li Heng turned around expressionlessly: "Go back."

Jia Lian just didn't see his reaction, otherwise it would be even more worrying. Young prince, the deep side of the city is quite scary, whether he is pretending or not. If he directly showed that the carriage and horses were causing trouble, Jia Lian was really not afraid. At most, he would give him a beating and then it would be okay. There would be trouble, but it wouldn't be a big one.

Jia Lian will not bet that he is an open-minded person, which is irresponsible to himself.

I thought the matter was over for the time being, and when I didn't want to pay my respects to Jia Mu, the old lady asked about it.

Jia Lian told the story in detail, and Jia Mu was silent for a while to express that she understood, but there was nothing more to say.

Returning to Dongkuayuan, Jia She called him over and asked him the same thing. After Jia Lian said it again, Jia She said angrily: "I'm confused, that's the third prince. What's the harm in going to see him?"

After hearing this, Jia Lian couldn't help but ask: "Father, do you know that the emperor is in his prime?"

Jia She was treated as a fool by Jia Lian, and he became furious. He grabbed the teapot in his hand and threw it towards him. Jia Lian dodged and with a bang, it shattered into pieces on the ground. Seeing that he was not hit, Jia She got up and chased him. Jia Lian received a few light punches and dodged a few heavy kicks.

Jia She scolded and beat him at the same time: "You little beast, how dare you talk back and hide?"

After turning around a few times, Jia Lian's breathing was steady, while Jia She was panting. Jia She, who had not calmed down yet, raised the door bar beside him. The butler beside him was shocked when he saw this. He stepped forward and hugged Jia She and said: "Master, calm down. .”

Jia Lian took the opportunity to run away, but Jia She couldn't catch up and cursed him like a little beast behind him.

Jia She didn't continue to chase, he must have understood, so Jia Lian was somewhat relieved, it seemed that he could still be saved.

In the Jia Mansion in the novel, various operations actually have one purpose, to maintain the prosperity and wealth of the Jia Mansion. His own hard power is not enough, and he always shows some stupid operations. If he does something that violates taboos, he will be recorded by the emperor. When the time is right, the knife will fall.

Judging from the progress of the novel, Wang Ziteng is the key. Now that Jia Lian is here, he naturally does not intend to continue on this path of leaving his destiny in the hands of others. When it comes to matters of wealth and life, Jia Lian will never give it up to others.

Back in the house, Jia Lian called Xiao An and two servants over. He looked at the three of them coldly and said, "I will only say this once, lest you accuse me of being punished for not teaching me. From now on, follow me outside and see something." , if you hear anything, it will rot in my stomach. If the next time happens, you all should get out of your own skin."

Xiao An looked around curiously, with an indifferent look on his face. After the other two looked at each other, they hugged Jia Lian together. Jia Gui among them said: "Please rest assured, second master, I will remember it and there won't be another time."

Jia Lian said nothing more and waved for the three of them to go down.

I thought this matter would go away for a while, but I never thought that the next morning when I was in the academy, the old concierge came to greet me and said that someone from outside was looking for me, calling himself Wang Ren, Jia Lian's uncle.

Jia Lian apologized to Master Fang and came out to see Wang Ren. With a beaming look on his face, this guy stepped forward and said in a commanding tone: "Jia Lian, the third prince asked me to do a favor. He will serve wine at Yanhua Tower during the holidays. Then he will clear up the misunderstanding in person. Let's go!"

Wang Ren felt that it was very honorable for the third prince to entrust him to handle matters. In the future, he would also have the ability to brag when facing his friends.

Jia Lian knew that this guy's IQ was not high, but he didn't expect it to be so low. If we really want to clear up the misunderstanding, we will not forget what happened later. After we said goodbye outside the city, we should not take the initiative to interact with each other again.

"Wang Ren, please stay out of my business. I advise you not to get too close to the third prince. That's all." After saying that, Jia Lian turned around and left. He really regretted coming out. If he had known it, he would have found an excuse not to come out. .

Wang Ren didn't expect Jia Lian's outright refusal. He suddenly felt that his face had been thrown to the ground, and his color changed instantly. He pointed at Jia Lian angrily and said: "Jia Lian, listen carefully. If you don't go to the double tenth banquet, don't blame me for doing something wrong." Too awesome."

Jia Lian originally planned to ignore him, but then he thought, the old man at the concierge was watching, it's not like I have such a good temper at such a young age. He immediately turned around and looked at Wang Ren coldly and said, "It's not because of the relationship between the two families. I'll slap you to death. Get out!"

Wang Ren's face turned purple with anger, and he went back cursing. He still felt angry when he got home. After the prince won the office, he went to complain: "Father, the third prince asked me to be a host, and invited Jia Lian to go to Yanhua Tower. Banquet, let's clear up the misunderstanding. My son thought this was a good thing, so he went to the academy to look for Jia Lian. He never thought that this guy would not give me face and would ask me to get out."

After hearing this, Wang Zisheng did not express his position immediately, but quietly asked Wang Ren to go back. When Wang Ziteng came back later, Wang Zisheng came over and talked about Wang Ren and Jia Lian.

After hearing this, Wang Ziteng said angrily: "Let someone break one of his legs, and tell the public that he broke it in a fall and is inconvenient to go out."

Wang Zisheng was shocked and said: "Brother, why is this happening?"

Wang Ziteng did not explain, but simply said: "Why, my words are useless?"

Wang Zisheng looked embarrassed when he heard this. He stood up and called two servants to follow him. He went straight to Wang Ren's yard. After calling the people out, Wang Ren still looked confused. Wang Zisheng said: "What do you mean, uncle?" , break one leg and take good care of it at home, I have already sent someone to call the doctor."

Wang Ren was so frightened that he cried and begged. When Wang Zisheng became a little soft-hearted, Wang Ziteng followed from behind and said, "Do it. If you don't let him have a better memory today, the whole Wang family will be killed by him sooner or later."

When Wang Zisheng heard this, he immediately said to his servant: "Do it!"
