Chapter 240: Lame Taoist and Laitou Monk

The Royal Shang Xia family is a royal Shang family named by the Ministry of Revenue, and is one of the top major portals. The family is extremely wealthy. It is a big landlord and rich man in the capital. Needless to mention the rest of the land, there are only dozens of hectares of osmanthus. All the osmanthus flowers in the capital are from the Xia family. Even the bonsai in the palace is also tribute to the Xia family, so it is called the "Osmanthus Xia Family".

The Summer Family is famous and is known to everyone in Chang'an City, from kings and princes to businessmen to businessmen. When it comes to the name of the Summer Family, Ning Rong also knows it. The Xia Family is the top imperial merchant who monopolized all the furnishings in the palace and managed all the osmanthus bureaus in Chang'an City. Like the weaving bureau that supplies fabrics to the palace, the Summer Bureau is the imperial merchant yamen affiliated to Fengchenyuan, the Interior Ministry, which specializes in supplying flower bonsai in the palace. The reason for this is osmanthus, because osmanthus is a noble flower and is loved by the emperor, so the emperor lives in many places. There are three weaving bureaus, and the Xia Family manages all the osmanthus bureaus. All the furnishings in the palace are monopolized by the Xia Family, and the Xia Family's power is even stronger than Jiangning Weaving.

The royal garden garden garden is extremely important. The Interior House has huge funds for the gardens in the palace every year, and it is a very good job to work in the relevant yamen. Fengchen Garden, which specializes in managing flower gardens for the royal family, belongs to the Interior House, which is the third-rank yamen. The chief is the third-rank yamen. The Osmanthus Bureau is an important yamen in Fengchen Garden. The Xia family can not only operate such an important industry, but also exclusively monopolize the flower bonsai and furnishings of the entire palace. Even all the osmanthus bureaus in Chang'an City and outside Chang'an City are managed by the Xia family. It can be seen that the Xia family has a high status and is very prominent.

Jia Lian of the Xia family also knew that, after all, there were many things that Emperor Jinglong gave to him in his champion Hou Mansion and Duke Rong Guo Mansion, including those paid tribute by the Emperor Xia family.

In addition, the osmanthus forest from the Champion Hou Mansion was also sent by the Xia family.

As far as Jia Lian knows, the head of the Imperial Shang Xia family has passed away, and now only one widow and a daughter are left.

No one knows about this widow, but anyone who has seen the Red Chamber knows that the daughter of the Xia family is not an ordinary person.

Xia Jingui, the wife of Xue Pan, nicknamed "Hedong Shi". He was born in the Xia family of wealthy imperial merchants. Xia corresponds to Xue Pan's Xue, which means Xia is against Xue (snow), and snow will be melted when it is summer.

Xue Baochai once described it as a beauty who piled up snow; she was afraid that she would blow Miss Lin down if she became angry, and then she would blow Miss Xue again. Cao Gong made a secret statement in his running script, implying that Xia Jingui had married into the Xue Mansion, and the Xue Mansion would be even faster to lose.

This summer Jingui was born quite beautifully and knew a few words. He was named Jingui because her family had "pornographic flowers with dozens of hectares of land". Her family was also called "pornographic flowers Xia Family", which was very rich. Needless to mention the rest of the fields, the "orange flowers bureaus in and outside the city were all from her family. Even the palace was furnished with bonsai, which was also worshipped by her family."

Because her father died early and was the only daughter, her widowed mother spoiled Xia Jinguijiao and obeyed her in every way, she developed a rampant temperament. She respected herself as a Bodhisattva, and others were as dirty as mud. Because her nickname was Jingui, she was not allowed to bring out the words "Jin" and "Gui" from others. Anyone who accidentally said one word by mistake would have to be punished severely. She was really a shrew, and even Xue Pan's stupid bully could be cured.

Xia Jingui married into the Xue family and thought that as the leader of the family, she was shy and gentle when she was a daughter. She had to show her might in order to suppress others. Moreover, seeing Xue Pan's temperament and arrogant behavior, if she did not take advantage of the good relationship between the newlyweds and her husband, she would not be able to do whatever she wanted in the future. She also saw Xiangling, a concubine with all her talents and looks, in the room, which added to the meaning of "Song Taizu destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty" and "who would not allow others to sleep soundly beside her bed."

After Xue Pan was suppressed by her, she began to torture Xiangling again and changed Xiangling's name to Qiuling. In order to manipulate Xiangling, she asked Xue Pan to take over her maid Baochan and instigated Xue Pan to treat Xiangling. Aunt Xue came to extort her, and she shouted through the window to quarrel, causing the Xue family to be peaceful for a day.

To be honest, Jia Lian couldn't help but feel worried about Xue Pan's desire to marry such a wife.

However, for Xue Pan, marrying such a wife may not be a good thing. If he has a wife who can control him, perhaps he will not do anything wrong outside.

Seeing Jia Lian's expression, Xue Pan said in confusion: "Is there any problem with the Royal Shang Xia family?"

Jia Lian shook his head and smiled and said, "It's nothing, this girl from the Xia family is just right for you."

"I don't care whether it's suitable or not. Anyway, as long as I don't stop me and don't let me drink flower wine." Xue Pan said indifferently.

Jia Lian smiled when he heard this. Xia Jingui was not just stopping you from drinking flower wine. It was probably her consent to find a concubine at home.

...

Jia Lian spent two days in Rongguo Mansion and didn't go out much, but was thinking about what name to give his precious daughter.

As Jia Lian’s first child, the name is very important. Of course, it is also related to the surname. The surname Jia is a bit inappropriate.

For example, Jia Baoyu, Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, or Jia Jing, Jia Zhen, Jia She, and Jia Zheng are not very nice.

The girl is better, like Daiyu's mother Jia Min, who is pretty good. Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, and Jia Xichun are all pretty good.

Jia Lian also thought better. Jia Lian's next generation was from the Jia generation, so the name of Jia Lian's baby daughter also started with this.

However, before Jia Lian thought of his name, Xue Pan brought Jia Rui's latest news.

I originally thought that Jia Rui’s matter was temporarily resolved, but who would have thought that this guy didn’t come to school the next day, and he was simply a tragic death.

Jia Lian was not angry, but just waited for lunch and called Xue Pan and walked towards the yard where Jia Dairu lived.

The clan school was not far from the back street where the clans lived, and it took less than half a cup of tea to arrive.

Before I could knock on the door, I smelled the rich aroma of medicine in the yard.

The one who opened the door was Jia Rui's grandmother. When she saw Jia Lian and Xue Pan, she whispered to remind Jia Dairu that she was angry and that Jia Rui was beaten to the point of her butt and applying medicine to recuperate.

Lying on grass!

Jia Lian was really shocked, turned his head and looked at Xue Pan, and saw the strangeness and dissatisfaction in the other person's eyes.

Jia Dairu had no intention of going out to meet guests, and Jia Lian didn't care much, so he just thought that this guy was about to enter the coffin. What should he do with an old-fashioned person?

When I saw Jia Rui, this guy was lying on the bed and humming. The smell of medicine in the room was quite strong and a bit pungent.

Jia Lian sat on the chair next to the coffee table, and naturally had no intention of opening his mouth.

Xue Pan walked forward and asked for some careful investigation before shook his head and returned.

"Boss, this guy is also a weird guy. He didn't have any preparation last night. He just told Mr. Dai Ru about his love for Qingwen. As a result, Mr. Dai Ru took action in anger. This guy's butt would have to be lying for at least half a month!"

Tsk!

Jia Lian immediately stood up when he heard this. There was nothing to say about such a thing. He ordered Jia Rui to write a sick leave note, and the rules of clan studies should not be broken.

He politely declined the invitation from the old woman to have a meal. After leaving the door, he couldn't help but shake his head: "That old guy is very cruel. If Jia Rui hadn't trained his body strong in the past few months, he would probably have not been able to do it quickly in less than half a year!"

He said that it was all here, while there was a tribe member passing by, Youran said, "I don't know what the old man was thinking. I really thought Jia Rui was a steel bar and iron bone and could be fine if he was tormenting?"

Um?

He made a random rumor, intending to disgust the old-fashioned Jia Dairu.

Suddenly, Jia Lian sensed two strange auras, illusory and elusive.

I suddenly looked up and saw a lame Taoist figure disappearing in an instant, and the already ethereal aura dissipated in a blink of an eye.

This is……

In the original work of the Red Chamber, one of the most magical duoes, is the lame Taoist?

The soles of his feet suddenly exerted force, and his body rushed out like an arrow from a string. In the blink of an eye, he crossed several feet apart. He came to the intersection of the back street and glanced at the left and right. Where could there be traces of a lame Taoist?

"Boss, you are..."

Xue Pan quickly followed, his face full of shock.

Just now, Jia Lian suddenly broke out and rushed out too fast. He almost arrived at the intersection of the street in the blink of an eye.

He had never seen such a method and was frightened.

"It's okay. I just saw a master. Come and take a look!"

After waved his hand, Jia Lian did not care about Xue Pan's shock. He returned to the clan school leisurely, but a slight turmoil in his heart.

The lame Taoist and the monk Laitou are basically in a state of being burnt and Meng Meng is not out of focus. It is obvious that the monk Laitou is also nearby.

These two people are both quite mysterious in the Red Mansion World, or like the Fairy Fairy Jinghuan, they have mysterious powers.

Even if Jia Lian's strength at this time has exceeded the limitations of human beings, he dare not say that he can definitely succeed in the joint efforts of these two people.

only……

In theory, the plot of the Red Chamber at this time has been almost messed up, so why are these two still appearing on Ningrong Street?

There was indeed such an incident in the original work. Jia Rui was hit by Wang Xifeng's lovesickness situation, but ended up falling seriously ill and recuperating at home. Then he got a treasure mirror given by a lame Taoist and was slapped.

The situation is completely different now. Although Jia Rui also suffered from lovesickness, he was not yet at the point where his mind was not greatly damaged.

Moreover, under the mandatory requirements of clanology, the body bones are also exercised quite strongly. Even if the butt is blooming for a while, he will not be worried about his life.

In the original work, the lame Taoist, under the banner of saving people, sent the magical Fengyue Baojian to Jia Rui, and then the guy was killed by death.

If you really want to worry, although Jia Rui in the original work is seriously exhausted, he can live at least a few more years with his youthful foundation. He will be able to end up after his entire body of essence is exhausted.

But the Fengyue Baoji sent by the lame Taoist accelerated the process, and this guy definitely had no good intentions.

By the way, looking at the original work of the Red Chamber, the plays of Taoist Paojiao and monk Laitou are not positive characters.

Any family they target will end up with a miserable ending of the destruction of their family.

It gives Jia Lian the feeling that it is a bit like depriving his target family of luck, and then a good family will soon lose their luck due to luck.

Otherwise, it would be too evil to explain why these two people visited which family, and that family basically didn't have a good ending.

...

There was a ruined temple outside the city, and the Taoist man and the monk Laitou sat cross-legged and silently.

After a long time, the Pozu Taoist, who seemed to have recovered his energy, suddenly said, "What's going on? The boy who was on the back street of Ningrong's second mansion before gave me a very dangerous feeling. He subconsciously used means to stay away!"

"Is there any such master in Beijing?"

Monk Laitou frowned and said, "Why haven't you heard the wind before?"

"It's true that it is worthy of being the capital of the Daqing Empire, with many masters of hidden dragons and crunching tigers!"

The Pozu Taoist smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that in addition to the palace and the imperial guards, there were such good players scattered among the people!"

"It's not considered the people. There are no so-called civilians living in Ningrong's two mansions!"

"What should I do? The task given to us by the fairy must be completed. At the same time, we must investigate whether there are any abnormal changes in the Ningrong Mansions!"

"The fairy didn't say clearly. What is an accident? Is there no clue at all?"

"Don't worry, first follow the plan and send the Fengyue Baojian to the Jia clan who is suffering from lovesickness. Monk, have you noticed that the treasure light of the Fengyue Baojian seems to be a little dim!"

“…”

I met a pokemon by chance, but it did not attract too much attention from Jia Lian.

Such a dragon who sees his head but doesn't see his tail will be tested. If he forces it, with the resources he controls at the moment, he will not be able to cast a net everywhere to find people.

Here, the investigation into Beijing Wang’s family background and personal character has ended, and the result is pretty good. This guy’s family situation is quite simple, and he is a bit chivalrous.

Then there is nothing to say. Although the injuries on King Beijing's body were not cured at this time, he didn't need to come forward in person when he proposed to a marriage.

Jia Lian first greeted the guy, then turned around and went to the general's mansion to find the master, and explained the situation, and simply repeated the investigation results.

I didn't expect that the master didn't care at all, so he waved his hand and asked Jia Lian to do it himself. Obviously, he didn't take Yingchun to heart at all.

While Jia Lian was amused and cried, he did not bother him much. Then he found Mrs. Xing, who seemed to be invisible, and explained the matter clearly to the legitimate mother.

"This is a good thing. Yingchun is indeed at the age of getting married!"

Since the master agreed, Mrs. Xing naturally had no objection. Anyway, there was still some money in the Rongfu Duke at present, so it would be good to take out at least ten thousand taels of silver to prepare for Yingchun, and she didn't need to pay the money.

So, Jia Lian asked Shui Rong to come to propose marriage.

King Beijing Shuirong was very smart. After a few days, he invited an old aunt from Duke Li's mansion to come forward and went directly to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage.

Neither the master nor Mrs. Xing refused, and exchanged Geng posts to calculate the eight characters, and this marriage was almost done.

It was not until Wang Xifeng, who had changed her residence, went to Rongqingtang to help Yingchun move her luggage that the old lady and Yingchun herself learned about the marriage.
