Jia Lian didn't care about the person who opened the door, and chased the white horse into the courtyard.
Seeing the white horse shaking its head and neighing constantly, Jia Lian stared at the door of the wing and said loudly:
"Miss Cornus, please come out and see me."
Jia Lian caught a glimpse of the thin scholar following him out of the corner of his eye, his expression suddenly changed, and his heart suddenly became clear—he had guessed it right.
There was a sound of "桄桔" on the door, and a handsome figure walked out with an angry look. It was Shiziyu who was wearing a half-worn scholar's robe.
Another woman disguised as a man.
It’s the kind of woman disguised as a man who can be easily recognized at a glance.
Is this girl’s IQ negative?
Or does she think other people’s IQs are negative?
.
Shiziyu directly kicked Zhaoye Snow Lion:
"This damn beast! He always misses things!"
However, when Zhaoye Snow Lion saw his old master, he was just happy and was kicked all over the place, but he still rubbed his horse's head towards the dogwood tree affectionately.
Jia Lian couldn't bear it, so he grabbed the reins of the horse and led the Zhaoye Snow Lion to his side:
"Miss Juyu scolded it wrong! She should be scolded as blind.
It is still attached to its old master like you, it is indeed blind."
Shi Zhuyu was ridiculed by Jia Lian, gritted her teeth and angrily said to Jia Lian:
"This was given to you by Master Juyu. You took good care of it. If there is something wrong with it, I will kill you!"
The thin scholar suddenly asked:
"Do you know each other?"
Shi Zhuyu snorted and gave Jia Lian a hard look:
"Who wants to know him?"
Jia Lian complained in his heart:
Do you think I want to get to know you?
You're smelling like a pufferfish today, and I can't even tell whether you're in the rebellious stage of youth or neuromenopause.
He could only smile awkwardly and saluted the scholar:
"I am Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion. Are you Mr. Shi?"
My heart moved at the same time:
Shi Duozi, Shi Zhuyu, Shi Gongzi... What is the relationship between these three people?
The scholar didn't return the greeting or answer anything, he just said:
"I live in a humble house and am poor. I can't bear the young master's aura of wealth and honor. Please come back."
After saying that, he turned around and walked straight into the house.
Walking to the door, without looking back, he just said:
"Cornus, come into the house."
Cornelian pursed her lips and choked, but at this moment she shouted:
"Brother, why don't you ask him why he came?"
.
Yes, this is another "brother".
God knows how many brothers this girl Cornus officinalis has.
.
The thin scholar remained motionless, only repeated coldly: "Come into the room." Then he walked away.
Juyu had no choice but to stamp her feet and trot back to the house.
The door was closed, and Jia Lian and his horse were left to dry in the courtyard.
Jia Lian then looked around and saw that the yard was not big, with no flowers or grass, and only a patch of green vegetables and green onions planted there. Although the yard was dilapidated and poor, it was kept clean.
After waiting for a while, no one answered Jia Lian.
In desperation, Jia Lian had no choice but to lead the horse out of the yard and close the gate before leaving.
I'm thinking that I might as well find someone to ask around tomorrow.
Especially that stone dogwood, one moment of wealth and another moment of poverty, no one knows whether it is true or false.
.
After riding a horse for a while, Jia Lian decided to go straight to Dongfeng Tower, intending to have a few glasses of wine and think about what to do next, especially how to avoid getting involved in the provincial affairs.
Unexpectedly, I just rode across Nanchang Street, and met Wei Tongguang, who was dressed in casual clothes, also riding a horse from a distance.
Jia Lian quickly jumped off his horse, cupped his hands and said:
"Mr. Wei is well, Jia Lian is polite."
Wei Tongguang also saw Jia Lian early, dismounted quickly and returned the courtesy:
"What a coincidence, I went out for a walk today and bumped into Mr. Jia."
When Jia Lian heard this, he understood that this was Wei Tongguangming telling him that he had nothing to do today, so he smiled and said:
"I wonder if Sir Wei is a good drinker?
I'm just going to have a drink. If you don't mind, you might as well go with me."
Wei Tongguang laughed:
"If you have wine in life, you must be drunk. How can a man not be good at wine?
Without fine wine, who can gallop on the battlefield and play sword in the rivers and lakes?"
So Jia Lian led Wei Tongguang all the way to Dongfeng Tower. He chose the innermost private room on the second floor to sit down, and ordered shopkeeper Chun to select the best wine and delicacies and bring them up.
Over the wine, Wei Tongguang became very interested and the wine was dry. After a while, the two of them became brothers.
Wei Tongguang asked Jia Lian and said with a smile:
"Now that a noble concubine has been born in your residence, I will be your uncle. I'm afraid I won't be able to reach a higher level here."
Jia Lian took the pot and filled Wei Tongguang with wine, shaking his head:
"Brother Wei made fun of me, how dare I call myself the country's uncle?
The emperor showed favor by promoting the eldest daughter of our family, together with the promotion of me to the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture last time. It was all for the sake of the emperor's loyalty to my ancestors. This is a favor. If we can feel at ease with this, we should die." Wei Tongguang picked up the wine glass and looked at Jia Lian with a smile, his eyes shining:
"I heard that the elders of my clan were a little unhappy because of the coffin of Jia Rong's wife last time?"
Jia Lian also filled himself up with wine:
"More than unhappy?
To be honest with Brother Wei, it’s a good thing that Brother Wei announced the decree and took me away, otherwise, I would have been tied up and taken to the ancestral hall.”
After saying that, he smiled and raised his glass:
"Come on, come on, I would like to thank my eldest brother for saving me." After that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Wei Tongguang also drank wine, but did not put down his glass and asked again:
"I'm a little curious. What would have happened if King Beijing had given the Wagtail Incense Twisted Pearl to my younger brother instead of giving it to him in the street?"
Jia Lian smiled:
"Brother Wei, why do you ask this? Since we are brothers, I might as well say it straight.
I, the Jia family, have been favored by the emperor, but I only want to be rich and have no disobedience.
Everyone knows that King Beijing has wooed the families of our heroes, and there is nothing hidden behind them. Baoyu and his ilk are nothing to mention.
What I said in front of the emperor last time is the truth. If you have any instructions, Brother Wei might as well say it clearly."
Wei Tongguang put down his wine glass, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"There is a man named Jia Yucun, do you know him?"
Jia Lian smiled:
"We have known each other since Gusu, but we have met a few times.
This person was originally a teacher in the family of my uncle Lin. My uncle Lin recommended him to my uncle Zheng. Master Zheng recommended him to be the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. I heard that he is now attached to Prince Teng, the governor of nine provinces. ."
"What kind of person is this person?"
"First, your knowledge is acceptable, otherwise you won't be able to become a Jinshi in one fell swoop.
Second, he was ungrateful. Zhen Shiyin donated money to help him. Later, when he learned that Zhen Shiyin's only daughter was sold, he did not want to rescue him, but instead added insult to injury.
Thirdly, he is shameless. He is very good at playing into his favourites. After trying to please my uncle, he then got attached to my uncle. When he got attached to Wang Ziteng, he no longer cared about talking to my uncle."
"It seems that my trip is not in vain." After saying that, Wei Tongguang picked up the wine pot and started to pour wine for Jia Lian.
Jia Lian hurriedly gave in and did not dare to accept it. Wei Tongguang held the wine bottle and said with a serious face:
"I'm here to pour wine for my brother. I want to see if he drinks my glass of wine."
