Lai Da said something more embellished and jealous, which made Zhou Rui's family open their mouths, like a dead fish being suppressed.
After that, Zhou Rui's family said a few words casually and hurried towards Mrs. Wang's Buddhist hall, not even caring about the rain splashing on the new satin shoes on their feet.
.
Lai Da looked at her back, smiled coldly, turned around and walked out.
Just as he turned the corner of the corridor, he saw a little girl helping his wife in.
Lai was beaten and kept at home for several days before she could barely get off the kang today. Grandma Lai asked her to quickly go to Jia's house and use the excuse of going to plead guilty to the old lady to take the opportunity to stir up trouble. p>
Lai Da saw his wife's head and body were wet with semen and her face was sallow. Knowing that it was raining along the way, he advised her:
"Go ahead and change some clothes first. You can rest for a while before you go. There's no rush at this moment."
His wife said with a bitter face:
"Forget it, let's go now.
Later, the old lady will have lunch. After the meal, the old lady will take a nap again, and she will have tea after the nap. I don’t know how long it will take to wait. Mom is still at home waiting for my letter." p>
Lai Da knew that his mother always told the truth, so he had to ask the little girl to hold her tightly, and then let everyone go to the back.
.
Lai D just walked to the front, but before he could enter the house, someone suddenly came from outside to report that the master was back.
Lai Da hurriedly led people to greet him all the way out. Jia Zheng did not enter the inner house when he came back. He changed clothes in the small study room of Mengpozhai outside, and then went to greet Jia's mother first.
As soon as he entered the small study room of Mengpozhai and took off his official uniform, Jia Zheng fell down on the bamboo couch and sighed in annoyance:
"It's troublesome to write documents, it's troublesome to kill people, and it's also tiring to kill people."
Lai Da personally brought the tea in and served it. Jia Zheng waved his hand casually, so he put the tea bowl on the table.
Lai Dakong said respectfully:
"Master, you have worked really hard."
The housekeeper lay on his back on the small bamboo couch and chanted slumpedly:
"There is little to suit the vulgar charm, and one's nature is to love hills and mountains.
I accidentally fell into the dust net and was gone for thirty years."
Lai Da knew that in all likelihood, Jia Zheng was either tired of being an official again, or he had made another small mistake.
He had served Jia Zheng for many years and knew how to follow his master's wishes, so he said softly:
"My master is as distinguished as Li Taibai. How can he endure those annoying worldly affairs?"
These words made Jia Zheng very happy, and he sighed frequently:
"Lai Da, you have been with me for almost forty years, and you are the only one in this world who can understand me.
Alas, what about the dashing celebrities? What about the romantic talents? Aren’t you entangled in these worldly things every day and become unbearably vulgar?
Suffering, suffering, suffering, all living beings suffer, and I suffer too."
Lai Da took the opportunity and said:
"The master is absolutely right. Celebrities also suffer. A celebrity like Mr. Shan Ziye is now said to have been greedy for a lot of money, and is immediately tied up with hemp ropes like an animal.
, I still don’t know whether I’m dead or alive.”
"What did you say!"
Jia Zheng was shocked when he heard this. He sat up from the bamboo couch and said loudly:
"What happened to Mr. Shan Ziye? Who dares to be so bold and insult the gentlemen?"
Lai Da deliberately replied with trepidation:
"This is something a villain would not dare to say.
Yesterday, Mr. Lian got very angry and scared the little ones out of their wits."
"Lian Er? Bastard! When will it be his turn to get angry in my house?"
.
While we were talking, someone came from outside to report that a large number of pilgrims had come to see me.
When Jia Zheng returned home, he originally wanted to see Jia Mu first, but he heard that all the Qing Dynasty guests were coming, so he had no choice but to go into the back house. He only changed into his regular clothes and said "you are invited".
Because Jia Zheng himself did not have an academic background, he has always been fond of scholars and courteous scholars. Whenever he chats with these scholars, Jia Zheng feels that he is also an "old scholar". Now his knowledge is finally worthy of that of his youth.
The elegance of the past.
After a while, eighteen Qing guests including Zhan Guang, Cheng Rixing, Hu Silai, Shan Pinren, etc. all arrived. Jia Zheng hurriedly invited everyone to sit down:
"It's raining heavily today, so you all came in good condition."
Zhan Guang took the lead and did not sit down. Instead, he saluted Jia Zheng with a worried look on his face:
"We sincerely ask this old man to rescue Mr. Shan Ziye, and don't let Sven be disgraced!"
Jia Zheng hurriedly spread his hands and said:
"My lords, please rise. My lords, please rise. I have only been away on business for two days, and I don't know what happened at home. Can anyone please tell me?
Don’t worry, gentlemen, I am also a scholar, and I will never do anything that is disgraceful to gentlemen and brings shame to my ancestors.”
Then everyone sat down one by one in order.
Zhan Guang said sadly:
"Old man, yesterday my wise nephew heard the rumors about the villain from nowhere, and suddenly attacked old Mr. Shan Ziye, saying that he had cheated the money from the residence, and immediately tied him into a ball and sent him away.
The Wanping County Government said it would formally file a case for rigorous investigation.
The reputation of a scholar is the most important thing, and if it is tainted for nothing, this is a worse thing than losing the life of a scholar.
Poor old Mr. Shan Ziye, how can an elegant man like a fairy endure the torture in prison? This... this is really an act of boiling cranes and burning harps."
When Jia Zheng heard this, he immediately asked Lai Da:
"You just said that Lian Er got angry. Is this what happened?"
Lai Da quickly knelt down and kowtowed:
"Replying to the master, when I saw the master, this is what I was anxious to say. What Second Master Lian did yesterday was a little... a little too much."
Jia Zheng slapped the table hard with his palm:
"Bastard! Bastard! Why did such a thing happen to my family!
An unworthy descendant who has not loved reading since he was a child has come to abuse a scholar! His ancestors have been completely disgraced by him!"
Immediately ordered to Lai Dai:
"Go and call Lian Er immediately!"
After that, he bowed his hands to all the pilgrims and said:
"Young men, don't worry and get angry. I am also a scholar, and the last thing I want to do is to see a scholar being abused.
When Jia Lian comes, I will ask him to go to the prison to pick up Mr. Shan Ziye immediately, and then I will ask him to come and apologize, so as not to insult the face of scholars all over the world."
.
Zhan Guang came here on the order of Prince Zhongshun. Knowing that Jia Zheng valued "the face of a scholar" and "the reputation of Jia's family for virtue" most, he gathered a group of Qing guests and planned to use this to bring Shan Ziye to the country.
The matter is settled.
The long history of going to Wanping County magistrate and important people was not actually sent by Prince Zhongshun.
Last night, King Zhongshun did not return from the suburbs of Beijing. Princess Zhongshun received a report from Zhan Guang and heard that Shan Ziye had been arrested. She was panicked and sent a fourth-rank historian from Prince Zhongshun's palace to find someone from the sixth-rank Xiaoxian County Magistrate.
Not coming?
As a result, I really didn’t want to come.
When King Zhongshun returned to his residence this morning, when he heard about this incident, he couldn't help complaining that Princess Zhongshun was too careless. Wouldn't it be "there is no three hundred taels of silver here" to act so rashly?
Princess Zhongshun said anxiously:
"I'm also afraid that Shan Ziye will tell us that we gave him 10,000 taels of silver and let him ruin the Jia family's feng shui."
King Zhongshun said bitterly:
"This kind of Feng Shui thing is just a secret in the world. How can you get official status? No one will believe you even if you tell me.
Even if Jia Lian understands it, Shan Ziye only needs to insist that he just likes painting and does not understand the art of Feng Shui. What can others do to him?
It’s just that I hate that Shan Ziye, who has already received ten thousand taels of silver from us, is still not satisfied and wants to steal the money from the Jia family’s garden construction. If this results in a failure, he deserves to die!”
However, Princess Zhongshun persuaded him several times, and then King Zhongshun ordered someone to tell Zhan Guang, asking him to quickly find a way to get Shan Ziye out of prison while Jia Zheng returned to the house.
.
Zhan Guang followed Jia Zheng and waited for about a small meal. The rain outside seemed to be lighter, but the thunder was louder.
The door opened, and Lai Da came into the house with the smell of rain. He kowtowed as he entered:
"If I tell you, Master Lian won't come."
There was a flash of lightning and a big thunder, which scared everyone.
