The Red Mansions

Chapter 30 Jia Heng Enters Rongguo Mansion
The two brothers were talking, when there was a sudden noise from outside, "Grandma You and Grandma Lian are here."

Sister Feng and You Shi entered the hall, looked at Jia Zhen who was lying on the rattan chair, moaning in pain, they were taken aback for a moment, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"How could it be like this?" Youshi wailed, but after all, she had just cried a while ago and didn't have many tears, so she went to check on Jia Zhen's injury.

As a result, Jia Zhen felt ashamed, and her heart was irritated. She pushed away the crying Youshi, and said angrily: "What mourning, I'm not dead yet!"

You Shi was pushed aside, her heart ached, and the circles of her eyes turned red, but this time she really burst into tears.

Sister Feng asked anxiously: "Why did you have a conflict? Isn't it a matter of negotiation and quantity?"

Jia Lian sighed, and said: "Then Jia Heng didn't plan to agree, Brother Zhen said 1000 taels of silver, but what he said... If Brother Zhen also promised him one thing, he would withdraw, and then... Just started fighting."

"Promise what?" Sister Feng asked, frowning and said: "1000 taels is not a lot."

Jia Lian glanced at Mrs. You and said, "Then Jia Heng said that as long as Brother Zhen writes a letter of divorce to divorce Sister You, he will also give Brother Zhen 1000 taels."

Sister Feng: "..."

Youshi: "???"

You Shi raised a piece of pear blossoms with rain at this moment, and I saw the pitiful face, the plump and moist pink lips that glowed brightly under the light, pursed, and said in a clear voice: "Where did I provoke him, I got him So targeted!"

Sister Feng raised her willow eyebrows in the same way, and said, "Okay, what a blind bastard, he really knows people, face and heart! What kind of toad dares to eat swan meat!"

Jia Lian sighed: "Oh, this is clearly a deliberate use of words to provoke Brother Zhen, and then... a fight broke out."

Jia Zhen said coldly: "Report to the officer, take him!"

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this matter won't make a big splash. If Brother Zhen is beaten up badly by him, he can still report the crime of assault to the government."

When Jia Zhen heard the words, anger surged in her eyes, and her beard trembled with anger. Was the beating less severe with him?
Seeing Jia Zhen's expression was wrong, Sister Feng just gave Jia Lian a look and said, "I have to report this matter to the old lady. The old lady was so angry just now that she will call Jia Heng for questioning tomorrow."

Jia Lian thought for a while and said: "The former minister of the Daming Palace sent someone to say that the eldest sister has now been selected to serve as a female official in the Queen's Palace, and the next year or two is the key, so it's better not to make a lot of noise in the city. "

Because after Yuanchun entered the palace, most of the secret affairs in the palace, such as bribery of eunuchs, were handled by Jia Amnesty, and Jia Lian was the specific person in charge, so he knew Yuanchun's current situation in the palace.

Jia Zhen's face darkened, no matter how unwilling she was, she didn't dare to hold back on the matter of whether the Jia clan can attach to the Tian family, her eyes were gloomy, and she said coldly: "Could it be possible to just let that little bastard go?"

It's okay to let it go or not.

It's just that the little lady of the Qin family, when she thought of the little lady of the Qin family, she felt a burning sensation in her heart.

Jia Lian sighed: "Go see the old lady first tomorrow and see what the old lady has to say."

Jia Zhen snorted coldly, apparently her anger was still lingering.

……

……

It was dark at night, and in Jia Heng's house in the wicker alley, the lights were still on in the study room. Jia Heng, who had just taken a bath and changed into a blue gown, was holding a brush and writing the first chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in lower letters under the lantern. Two times.

I was still sleepy just now, but after taking a bath, I couldn't fall asleep for a while, so I simply picked up a brush and started writing.

Circles of candle flames from the solitary lamp fainted and landed on the boy's face,

"Brother Heng, it's late at night, it's already the third watch, let's go to bed earlier."

At this time, the bamboo curtain was raised, and Aunt Cai held a cup of tea in her hand.

Jia Heng put down his pen and said with a smile, "Go to sleep now."

Although I only wrote a few hundred words, I feel much calmer. There is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, not only for Jia Mu, but also for the Qin family.

The means Jia Zhen can use is to report to the officials. Although there is a high probability that Jia Zhen will control the family affairs, there is no guarantee that she will not go to the government to sue him.

In this way, he needs to prepare in advance.

At the same time, if the Qin family knew that he had beaten Jia Zhen, would they think "this son is reckless, he is always aggressive and ruthless, and he must be a good match for you"?
This is again a problem that needs to be prepared for.

As for Jia Mu's question, he didn't really care much about it.

Because...he has nothing to ask from the clan.

As long as he looks respectful, no matter how disobedient his heart is, Jia's mother can only discipline him.

An old man who is about eighty years old, open his mouth to reprimand him a few words, just let him go in one ear and out the other, there is no need to be serious about it.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the old lady asked him to kneel in the ancestral hall, and it is actually impossible to beat him with a stick.

Still the same sentence, he belongs to the lineage of Ningguo, and he will be in five clothes again. This relationship node is very delicate. If he advances, he can cling to Jia's house, and if he retreats, he can stand on his own.

Gentleman's Ze, beheaded in the fifth life, but also, close and distant, after five clothes, he is basically a stranger.

The patriarchal clan rules did not have that much binding force on him, otherwise just a verbal confrontation would be enough to make him aggrieved.

Of course, he can't be too presumptuous, he should be neither humble nor overbearing to Jia's mother, understand it with reason, and move it with emotion.

Jia Heng thought about it, and realized that there was nothing wrong with it, so he also turned off the lantern and went to bed.

Silent all night, the next morning.

Jia Heng wakes up and washes up. He is eating breakfast. He is going to bring some presents to the Qin family first, pay a visit to Qin Ye, and then go to the Wencui Pavilion of the Imperial College for the book. It is still the same sentence, he definitely did not make a special trip Sitting at home, waiting for the reason why the Ningrong Second Mansion would come.

However, just after Jia Heng finished a bowl of porridge, he heard someone calling from outside.

"Is Master Heng at home?"

The voice of the servant passed over the courtyard wall and fell into the courtyard.

Jia Heng frowned, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, thinking to himself that the sound came so quickly.

Not long after, an old servant with an old face and several young and strong servants stood under the eaves of the corridor.

It was Lin Zhixiao.

Lin Zhixiao said: "Uncle Heng, what happened last night has alarmed the old lady, now I want you to go over and ask questions."

With a half-smile, Jia Heng said, "So, you sent Steward Lin to get me?"

Lin Zhixiao said: "No, it's just that the old lady heard that Uncle Zhen in the East Mansion was beaten by Uncle Heng, and she didn't sleep all night last night. Uncle Heng should go and talk about it, and let the old lady judge. Otherwise, Uncle Zhen will make a fuss again, talk about reporting to the officials, and invite the clan elders to discuss matters, and the trouble will start, and it will not look good."

Jia Heng smiled, and thought to himself, this Lin Zhixiao is really watertight, although his words are not threatening, and he even considers him everywhere, but he can't point out the consequences in the open and in the dark.

Of course, he didn't hide from him either. It's not helpful to let people look down on him for nothing.

"Steward Lin, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go." After saying that, he went to get the sword hanging on the wall.

Lin Zhixiao's eyebrows twitched, and he basically recovered some of the details from yesterday by asking some of the servants.

This Uncle Heng, who split a table several inches thick with his sword, went to see the old lady with the sword...

Wanting to ask, but meeting the young man's quiet and gloomy eyes, Lin Zhixiao's heart jumped, and he said to himself, "When we get to Rongqing Hall, let people lower his weapon."

Jia Heng is dressed in a blue robe with a sword hanging from his waist. His youthful appearance is clear and handsome, and his face is as silent as mysterious water. As he walks, his military appearance and posture as a border guard in his previous life are reflected in his aura.

Lin Zhixiao glanced at the servants who came with him, seeing fearful expressions on their faces, he smiled wryly in his heart, and thought to himself, the conflict really started just now, the people he brought were really bad.

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Boss Lin, let's go."

Lin Zhixiao responded, and then led the way towards Rongguo Mansion.

Entering from the West Corner Gate proudly, passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, and passing through the Chaoshou Corridor, the maids and mothers-in-law on the way all responded with amazed eyes.

"That's Uncle Heng, the one who slapped everyone in the East Mansion until their faces were swollen." A maid said, twisting a handkerchief in her hand.

"Early in the morning, Uncle Zhen from the East Mansion came here to find the old lady." A maid said in a low voice.

Jia Heng glanced at Jia's house indifferently, and thought to himself, it is indeed a century-old mansion, with pavilions, terraces and pavilions, vermilion eaves and green eaves, flying eaves and brackets, it is majestic and majestic.

Well, this is his first time entering Rongguo Mansion.
