In the small study room, Jia She sat at the dark sandalwood table, watching and playing with the pot-shaped Ru kiln in his hand.

He was wearing a luxurious robe, with a long black crown on his head, and a hosta on it. At first glance, he looked quite elegant.

Only his stooped shoulders, gray beard, sideburns, and hollow eyes all exposed his old and frail body that was invaded by alcohol and sex, and was strong on the outside but dry on the inside.

He is the hereditary first-class divine general of Rongguo Gong, and he is also the master of Dongkuoyuan, the branch of Rongguo Mansion here.

What he was holding in his hand was the treasure he had just bought for three hundred taels of silver.

Three hundred taels of silver, if placed in a small household, would be enough for ten years. But it was nothing to Jia She. He just bought it with a wave of his sleeves because he heard that the porcelain pot was a relic of the previous dynasty and had an inscription from a generation of Tanhualang on it.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard the sound of someone running violently on the verandah. Just as he was about to scold him, he saw the housekeeper rushing to the door in a panic, panting: "Master, Master , Second Master Lian! Second Master Lian is coming towards the study..."

Jia She was furious: "Okay, this little beast still dares to come to see me...Huh? Why are you panicking?"

"Second Master, Second Master is holding a sword in his hand!"

Jia She was stunned and said: "What sword?"

" Just... someone just saw Mr. Lian coming out of his room with a sword in his hand. He immediately came to tell the servant, and the servant hurriedly came to tell the master."

The housekeeper stuttered back. He said, his face could not conceal his fear

In the morning, Second Master Lian was beaten severely by the Master and almost died. As soon as he woke up, he came to see the Master with his sword in hand, and it was said that Second Master Lian " His face was gloomy and he looked very scary."

Mr. Lian’s violent and unusual behavior made him easily think of bad things.

"Okay, I want to see what this rebellious little beast wants to do!" Jia She can naturally think of anything that the housekeeper can think of.

Although he didn't believe that Jia Lian had the courage to attack him, he couldn't control the fear in his heart, so he shouted to the housekeeper: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you go and call someone?" !!”

The butler turned around to leave after receiving the order, but he hesitated.

Jia She's heart trembled for no reason. Following the housekeeper's gaze, he saw a faint figure moving slowly through the window paper, and finally appeared at the door of the room.

Who is that rebellious little beast? In his hand, he actually held a shining sword!

“Second Master Lian, you...” the housekeeper went toHe took a step in front of the door, trying to stop the admonishment.

"Get out!"

The cold scolding and the sword that seemed to shake made the butler immediately back away, and the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.

His old arms and legs cannot withstand the sword of the young and energetic Master Lian. Besides, the other party is still the master, so if he is hacked to death, his death will be in vain.

"Beast, do you still want to kill your father??"

The housekeeper stepped back, and there was no one else in the room. He looked at the man who walked in with his head buried without saying a word. Jia Lian, Jia She's voice couldn't help but trembled.

Perhaps suppressed by his shout, Jia Lian finally raised his head.

First, he glanced at Jia She, who had turned behind the chair and stared at him with a wary expression. He said nothing and had no expression on his face. Then as far as the eye can see is Jia She's study.

It may not be appropriate to call it a study, because the bookshelves here, apart from some scattered desolate books, are full of all kinds of toys and treasures, which have been polished to a shiny and translucent color. With precious light.

Under the bookshelf, there are large wooden boxes placed in rows, locked with copper locks. Jia Lian knew that all of them were treasures collected by Jia She over the years.

Therefore, this is not only Jia She’s study room, but also his “treasure pavilion”.

I have to say that the furnishings in Jia Lian’s room seemed shabby compared to here. It's no wonder that "he" has tried to sneak in here countless times, steal a few treasures and exchange them for money.

Of course, in the end, I didn’t dare to take action because I was afraid of the old man’s power.

I felt a little amused in my heart. From the corner of my eye I saw that Jia She’s expression was full of anger, and he almost couldn’t suppress it. There were also many footsteps in the corridor outside. Apparently a large number of people came after hearing the news.

Knowing that the time had come, Jia Lian did not hesitate at all. He knelt on the floor with a plop, raised the sword above his head with both hands, and said loudly: "My son has made a big mistake. I came here to ask for death." !"

Not only the maids and boys crowded at the door of the room were stunned by his behavior, but even Mrs. Xing, who hurried over and wanted to scold Jia Lian loudly, was also stunned.

Jia She suddenly understood something. The anger on his face slightly faded. He took a step forward and snorted: "You evil beast, I didn't beat you to death just now, but you were satisfied. Come and make this statue!"

Mrs. Xing was relieved to see that Jia Lian really was not here to "revenge". After entering the room, he said a few words to persuade Jia She to calm down, and then turned back to Jia Lian and said, "Lian Er, get up too. What are you doing in this clear day?

YesWhatever you want to say, you just have to talk to the master properly. It doesn't matter whether you die or not. You are the only son of my master. If you have something to say, why would you go to the point of using a sword if you can't say it properly? "

Jia Lian looked up after hearing the sound, his face full of sadness, and there were tears in his handsome and bright eyes.

He stared at Jia She in front of him, He said sadly: "My son knows that he is wrong, but I beg the master to calm down. My son is willing to die." "

On the surface, Jia Lian is filled with regret and sorrow, but in fact, Jia Lian is thinking about Mrs. Xing's words.

Jia She clearly has another son, his cheap brother, whose single name is " Cong". Why did he become Jia She's only son in Mrs. Mrs. Zhengtou. So Mrs. Xing feels that Jia She, her, and herself, the man born to the original wife, are the real masters of this courtyard.

Others, including Jia Cong She doesn’t take the children raised by her aunt in her eyes.

Although there are worldly truths to follow, such errors, biased and ridiculous words should not come from the mouth of the head wife.< br />
No wonder Mrs. Xing clearly has a distinguished status and is a first-grade wife, but in the original work she acts like a concubine, and is hated by everyone.

But that’s okay, Such a person is easy to deal with, which means that in Dongkuaoyuan, as long as he can deal with Jia She, everything will basically be fine.

Jia She did not expect that Jia Lian would suddenly be so confident and dare to do it. He raised his sword to let him die.

Judging from his appearance, he didn’t seem to be faking it. For the moment, he had no intention of killing him again, but he still had anger after all.

See again The faces of the people gathered at the door were joking, and their instincts were that they were being laughed at, and their anger suddenly found a way to vent.

"Why don't you all get out, what are you doing here? ! "

The angry teapot was smashed at the door, and the young man, the concubine, and the maids were immediately frightened.

With no one else around, Jia She had no scruples and glared again. Jia Lian: "You bastard, for doing such an animal thing, I really wish I could follow your wishes and kill you with one sword, so that you, a rebellious and forgetful thing, would not live in the world and stain our ancestors!" "

Faced with Jia She's insults, Jia Lian said in his heart that there is no one better than you to tarnish your ancestors...but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He only lowered his head and said: "My son knows his mistake, please calm down." ”

Mrs. He said a few more curses, and then scolded: "What are you still doing here? Why don't you go back over there? you rememberOkay, you don't have to come back without my summons from now on. You don't even need to say hello, so as not to make me angry. ”

Hearing Jia She’s words, Jia Lian knew that his goal had been achieved.

He had no other choice.

In this world , I am the king's law and heaven!

If he wants to rebel against heaven, the risk is too high. Even in his current position, resisting Jia She is seeking death!

Therefore, in the face of Jia She’s anger, his only choice was to calm down.

That’s why he played such a trick of pre-empting the situation and risking death.

In the end, the result was okay, and he no longer had to consider whether to abandon his sword and run away, or to fight back with a sword and then run away and wait for a narrow escape.

"Aren't you going to get out? "

Jia She was in a depressed mood. Seeing that Jia Lian was still reluctant to leave after putting down his sword, he shouted again.

However, Jia Lian hesitated again and again, and asked again: "My son, I am here. I know that my sin is so serious that I should have died. Let me die. However, my body, hair, skin, and everything on my body are gifts from the master. Not only have I failed to repay the favor of the master, but if due to my fault today, the master's reputation is affected, then I am dead. My son is really uneasy..."

Although Jia Lian spoke implicitly, he believed that both Jia She and Mrs. Xing could understand clearly.

It is true that today If the incident were to spread, his reputation would be completely ruined.

But, for Jia She, what is the same?

What’s more, he is just a national If a young man in the palace caused such a thing, the worst he could do would be to stay behind closed doors and let others laugh at him.

But for Jia She, it would be terrible.
< br /> He bears the title of his ancestors and is in the first rank. Even when he enters the court and listens to politics, he is also at the forefront.

The more noble a person is, the more he cares about appearance. He does not believe that Jia She He would be happy to let outsiders, even his colleagues in the DPRK, point fingers at him.

Sure enough, after listening to his words, Jia She’s chest visibly rose and fell several times.

Suddenly he grabbed the jade-white tea cup in front of him and smashed it on Jia Lian's head.

Even though Jia Lian was on guard and avoided it immediately, the tea cup still fell on him On the shoulder.

The severe pain caused Jia Lian to lower his head quickly to prevent the coldness in his eyes from being seen by the two people in the room.

As expected, only one person can experience this kind of oppression and oppression in person. Only through humiliation can you deeply understand the anger and resentment of the original person.

Faced with a father who beats and scolds him frequently and has no regard for dignity and life and death, no one will retain the bond between father and son.

In the original heart, he has long wished that the old man would die early and be well...

This is very good, and it is in line with his wishes. In the future, he does not have to worry about that. A lot.

"Damn beast, you still have the nerve to say that, your ancestors will lose face!"

Jia Shewu cursed to himself, while scanning the table.

Fortunately, there was nothing else on the table except the previous-generation porcelain pot that he had just bought and was really reluctant to throw away.

Seeing that Jia She was angry again, Mrs. , it’s better to find a way to prevent today’s incident from spreading.”

“Then what do you think we should do?”

Compared with dealing with Jia Lian, Jia She was indeed more Cares about his own reputation.

Mrs.

"My son has no intention of abusing himself, but just for the sake of the master's reputation. After returning later, if Feng Yatou asks where the injuries on his son came from, the son will only say that he accidentally kept them in the master's study. Many years ago, the amethyst and jade vase that I cherished was broken, and the master got angry for a moment, so he hit me twice." Jia Lian raised his head with a calm expression.

When Jia She and Mrs. Xing heard this, they subconsciously looked at a small but extremely rare jade vase in the corner, and understood what Jia Lian meant.

Yes, after calming Jia She's anger, Jia Lian was not in a hurry to leave.

He also wanted to save his reputation.

Among the rich and powerful families, there are not many in the first place, and many of them are speculative and false.

Therefore, as long as Jia She no longer pursues him and is even willing to give him cover, today's incident can be covered up to the maximum extent.

I believe many people in the two houses will have heard about the turmoil in Dongkua Courtyard today. They must give a reasonable explanation.

As for whether you believe it or not, I don’t know. Anyway, no one will come to verify it.

As for whether Jia She is willing to provide him with cover, Jia Lian believes that for the sake of his own reputation, Jia She will agree.

Sure enough, although Jia She thought about it more and more and became angrier, he finally acquiesced to Jia Lian's statement, but he became more and more unhappy with Jia Lian, scolding him with a sullen face.

About thisJia Lian didn't feel angry at all in his heart, and he led with humility on his face. He waited until Jia She's scolding was exhausted before he resigned and left.

　……

When Mrs. Lian'er, such a shameless woman will be a disaster sooner or later. It's better to send her away as soon as possible, or kill her directly..."

Jia She said: "I asked just now, it's Lian She was intimidated by this beast."

"But..."

"Okay, what happened just now, you turned around and sent her away, wouldn't it be wrong? Tell the world clearly? Do I need to lose my face?"

Mrs. As my son said, this jade vase is probably inconvenient to be left here any longer, making people look suspicious. It would be a pity if it was smashed for nothing, why not give it to me, I will have someone take it out secretly, and I can exchange it for some money. ."

Although Jia She was reluctant to give up, for the sake of his own face, he had no choice but to give up.

Mrs. Xing smiled happily.

Today is not in vain. Although she has to give the money back to Jia She, there are still some benefits after passing it through her hands.
