Chapter 140: Fixing the Storm (Part II)

The sun is silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The day after I met Jia Zhen, at noon, a carriage slowly drove from Yixing Villa to Dongzhuang Town.

Senior brother Gongsun Liang sighed in the carriage, "Senior Brother Jia, once you make a mistake, you will laugh for thousands of years, and then you will be a hundred years old." I am ashamed of the teachings of the mountain chief. ”

This is Tang Bohu's verse. Jia Huan was amused in his heart, and comforted him with a serious face, "Senior brother, it has nothing to do with you." It was a problem with the medicinal liquor yesterday afternoon. ”

Last night, Mr. Longjiang hosted a banquet to entertain him and his senior brother, and the beauties accompanied him during the banquet. He wrote three beautiful poems to pass the test. Mr. Longjiang happily wrote a letter to Princess Qixia to guarantee Qin Keqing's right of residence.

However, the medicinal power of the medicinal wine yesterday afternoon was a bit strong, and the senior brother didn't hold it at night, and returned to the room with the two Meiji raised by Mr. Longjiang. He is still a teenager, so this kind of romantic battle is naturally avoided.

However, when his body was normal, he also felt the medicinal power of Pengbai. Master Zhichen's pharmaceutical level is a bit high!

Gongsun Liang's depressed mood was slightly better, and he talked to Jia Huan all the way. Jia Huan was sure that Jia Zhen's Alexandre Dumas would be tricked, and he was relaxed. The 20-mile journey went by very quickly.

Qin Keqing was there, Jia Huan didn't plan to see her now. Qin Keqing's gratitude, of course he will accept it. But I won't go to see her specifically to receive gratitude. That's not his style of doing things. He didn't plan to have an affair with Qin Keqing.

If it weren't for Jia Zhen's forcible seizure of the brick kiln and trying to get into his core interests, he would not have made up his mind to get rid of Jia Zhen. And if you want to engage Jia Zhen, of course, you must engage in a big one, once and for all. Who is impatient to grind with him? The consideration of saving Qin Keqing, in this determination, does not account for such a high proportion.

Back in the town, Jia Huan said goodbye to Gongsun Liang and returned home. Ruyi was sweeping the floor in the house, and when he saw Jia Huan suddenly come in, he threw away the broom and threw himself into Jia Huan's arms and cried, "Third master... Woo..."

Jia Huan smiled helplessly, making him look like a soldier returning home from the battlefield. However, I was indeed a little moved in my heart, and patted her on the back, "Okay, okay." Don't cry. It's all gone, and it's still like a child. ”

At this time, a giggling sound came from the door, "It's a coincidence that I ran into it again!" Jia Huan looked back and saw Qingwen smiling at the door, her posture was pretty, and her beautiful big eyes were glancing at him and Ruyi, beautiful and colorful, containing a playful smile.

Jia Huan laughed, in a happy mood.

After living at home for three or two days, Jia Huan returned to the Tanzhe Temple in Miaofeng Mountain to study hard, waiting for the fermentation after he fell into the fruit; Wait for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit, and the clouds will open and the moon will shine.

On April 11, at noon, Jia Lian returned home from the outer city. With the aftermath of the medicinal power, he lingered with Wang Xifeng, and under the service of the beautiful concubine Ping'er, he tidied up, and the two talked on the bed.

Recently, because of Rouge's business, the relationship between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian has recovered a little, and asked, "You went outside the city yesterday to be a middleman for Brother Zhen and Huan Laosan, what was the result?" ”

Jia Lian smiled: "What else? Brother Huan is a smart person, he is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he will be soft when he meets...", he explained the situation again.

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, he turned out to be a bully who is afraid of the hard." I thought he was going to make trouble? Someone in the house can finally cure him. Otherwise, he will turn up the sky. ”

Feng Ziying came back from Tongjia Village and was in a bad mood. One afternoon after the beginning of summer, he made an appointment with Baoyu to have a drink at home.

In the exquisite Ming Hall, you can enjoy the scenery in the courtyard. Wine and food are served on the round table. The attendants all rushed to the outside of the Ming Hall for Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying drank a glass of wine with a depressed expression and asked, "Brother Bao, what kind of character is your brother Su Ri at home?" This is the reason why he invited Jia Baoyu to drink today.

Baoyu was wearing a two-color gold and white butterfly wearing a big red arrow sleeve, the figure was elegant, and said in surprise: "Why do you ask him?" He's at home, and he's a bad character..."

Baoyu felt aggrieved and dissatisfied with Jia Huan in her heart, and then Feng Ziying asked, and she poured it out.

Feng Ziying told the story of that day in Tongjia Village.

Jia Baoyu sneered: "Brother Feng, what's so strange about this? He was just a layman, a fool who watched the dishes, and was always opportunistic. Brother Jane tore his face, how could he not be afraid? ”

Feng Ziying sighed. He has a lot of dealings with Jiafu, and he has a little bit of power in Jiafu. Although it is not a first-class family of the country, the friends are all the envoys of the festival, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the real power figures in the six ministries. It is indeed not difficult for Jia Zhen to grasp and knock on a market like Dongzhuang Town.

After eating, Jia Baoyu took the servants home, watching the flowers dancing on the branches in the courtyard at the beginning of summer and spring, and his heart was indescribably happy. Haha, Huan Laosan, I can't imagine that you also have today!

...

A few days later, when Xue Pan was fooling around with his fox friends outside, he heard rumors, and when he returned home at night, it happened that Aunt Xue and Baochai were talking in the hall.

Aunt Xue asked, and Xue Pan told her about the situation. After hearing this, Aunt Xue was speechless and shook her head gently.

Xue Baochai stood up and said, "Mom, brother, I'll go back to the room to rest first." With that, he took Ying'er and left.

Leaving Aunt Xue and Xue Pan looking at each other, confused. Baochai is easily unemotional. What's going on today?

Back in the bedroom, Ying'er lit the lamp, and Xue Baochai sat in front of the dresser, feeling a little disappointed.

She herself is a person who is always at ease. But Brother Huan is a man, how can he be so subservient? He curry favor with Brother Zhen of Dongfu, can he get a good result? How stupid!

Brother Huan, what happened outside? was smoothed out by life, and he was lost to everyone, and he lost his demeanor when he first saw him.

She was a little sad.

Wang Xifeng's ridicule, Feng Ziying's disappointment, Jia Baoyu's happiness, Baochai's sadness, all kinds of emotions are not just isolated cases, people who have come into contact with Jia Huan have this or that emotion. In addition to the classmates in the academy, Qingwen, Ruyi, Tanchun and others.

These emotions are like an undercurrent hidden under the water, turbulent and dangerous. The reputation, prestige, and reputation that Jia Huan has built up in the past two years are in danger of collapsing.

Waiting for a cathartic moment.

Jia Huan didn't care about the emotions and reactions of these people, suppressed the letter written by the third sister Tanchun, and read quietly in the mountain temple. The morning sun rises and sets, and the sunset is brilliant, dyeing the sky, mountains, forests, and temples. Time is passing slowly.

The Xianheng Commercial Bank in Dongzhuang Town is following Jia Huan's arrangement, separating the finance and operation of the brick kiln separately, and letting the stewards and accounts sent by Jia Zhen fill it, watching these people work on procurement and other links.

But Du Hong, Yao Wei, Liu Yichen and others, who were born in Wendao Academy, didn't believe it, Jia Huan accepted 800 taels of shares to Ning Guofu fifty percent, and the matter was settled. No one will believe it!

Jia Huan is the leader and core who led them out of the desperate situation of life and death. They were willing to believe in his arrangement, and waited patiently, waiting, that there would be a time of blood, heartiness, and wanton like in the flood.

On the eighth day of the fourth month of the leap month, Lai Sheng, the governor of Ningguo Mansion, proposed to supply timber to Dongzhuang Town. Du Hong thought that there was wood to cut down in the mountains, and he would discuss it at the end of the month and push it off.

On the 16th of April in the leap month, Ningguo raised the coal supply price of the brick kiln, and the previous coal supply agreement reached by Jia Huan and Jia Lian at the cost price was torn up. The price is increased by 30%. Xianheng business forbearance.

On the 29th of the fourth month of the leap month, Sun Jiarong, the governor of Ningguo, went to Dongzhuang Town with people in person, one to discuss the supply of timber, and the other to meet Jia Huan, intending to monopolize the grain supply in Dongzhuang Town.

In the matter of timber, the Xianheng firm agreed, but the efficiency was slow and it was delayed.

Jia Rong went to Tanzhe Temple to see Jia Huan but didn't see him. According to the little monk Mingkong, Jia Yuan first went to Lingshan to play and has not returned.

Jia Rong waited for two days and left angrily.

Jia Rong was unfavorable this time, and she was worried, so she returned home and told Jia Zhen about the situation, waiting for punishment. Jia Rong drove Qi Xiaguan out in mid-April, and she couldn't make trouble with Qin Keqing again, so she came back to give Jia Zhen a good beating. Jia Zhen secretly asked someone to ask the reason, and reluctantly returned to the city from Tongjia Village.

In a courtyard in Ningguo's mansion, Jia Zhen was teasing the birds with a birdcage under the eaves of the porch, accompanied by a few small servants, after listening to Jia Rong, she squinted at him for a while, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that Brother Huan'er still thinks about me in his heart." Your second aunt and third aunt came to the house for the Dragon Boat Festival. You go to visit, and when you're done, you'll go with Qiang'er to invite your second uncle Lian to come over for dinner tomorrow. ”

Jia Rong wondered why she wasn't beaten, didn't think about it, answered, and hurried away. His stepmother, You, had two younger sisters. It is the younger sister brought by You Lao Niang's remarriage. Called the second sister and the third sister. looks like a peugeot, which can be called a special thing in the world.

Jia Zhen sneered a few times.

The next morning, the third day of the fifth month, the day before the Dragon Boat Festival. Rong and Ning are already full of festive atmosphere. In the new day of May, every family hangs the talisman, and inserts the dragon and the tiger. Vegetables are offered to rice dumplings, and wine is realgar.

Jia Lian came over early in the morning with his little servant. Dressed as a rich boy's brother. Jia Zhen set up wine in the pavilion of Huifang Garden, told Jia Huan about it, and said with a smile: "Brother Lian, Brother Huan'er is a little ignorant." ”

Jia Lian was slightly strange, "Wouldn't it?" Brother Huan wrote to me a few days ago, greeting you and my brother's body, and asking if you still want Shenglong Pei Yuan Dan? He repeatedly rammed and said that women must be forbidden when taking medicine. I was pondering this yesterday and came early in the morning to discuss it with my brother. ”

Jia Zhen snorted coldly, "I'm afraid he's doing one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back, right?" If you have that heart, you should write to me directly. I'm going to ask Shou'er to take my post to Qiu Zhubo in Wanping County and ask the county what the tax in Dongzhuang Town is this year? ”

Jia Lian smiled bitterly and drank realgar wine. He wanted to persuade him, but Brother Huan'er didn't know how to be a man!

At this moment, laughter came from Huifang Garden, and it sounded like Sister Feng, You Shi and others were laughing. Jia Zhen ordered Jia Rong, who was waiting on the side, to invite them over. Although he is an insider, Jia Lian is not an outsider.

After a while, I saw Wang Xifeng, Ping'er, You Shi, Jia Zhen's two concubines Peifeng, Kailuan, You Lao Niang, You Second Sister, You Third Sister and others coming over. In the small pavilion where Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were located, it was immediately Yingying Yanyan.

Wang Xifeng gave Jia Zhen a salute, and made fun of Jia Lian with a smile, "The second master went out in a hurry in the morning, and I said that there was something urgent." Don't want us to run into it again here. ”

Jia Lian now has silver to use, and he is not afraid of Wang Xifeng, and there are a few sisters who are good outside. But the positive words conflict with Sister Feng, and nine out of nine will lose. He smiled awkwardly.

The women in the hall all laughed coquettishly, and they were all different.

"Haha! Ha ha! Ha ha! Jia Zhen laughed. Brother Lian's life is not as happy as his.

Looking at the beautiful and bright two sisters-in-law, I was very proud. I thought of the special thing in the Xiangshan Taoist Temple. His heart was so hot that he was about to command him to bring wine. With a wall in his throat, two words popped out, "Keqing..."

The words "Keqing" frightened everyone in Huifang Garden, and no one dared to speak. Jia Lian was surprised in his heart. Time seemed to freeze for a second. But seeing Jia Zhen fall backwards, everyone suddenly exploded. panicked, they each rushed forward to help Jia Zhen. But to no avail.

At noon, Jia Zhen died. (To be continued.) )
