Chapter 395 Volume C: The Storm in the Jia Mansion (Part 2)

"Brother Feng is coming to the mansion tomorrow?" Tan Chun was also stunned. Of course she knew that Feng Ziying was very busy during her return. Brother Lian didn't meet her twice when he came to the house, so why did he come to the mansion?

"Haha, third sister doesn't know either?" Jia Huan crossed his arms and sneered, "It seems that no matter how much you try to please others, they still don't take you seriously, right?"

A look of anger flashed across Tan Chun's face, but it only passed away briefly.

The whole family is aware of the bad relationship between Brother Huan and Brother Bao. The dispute between concubine and concubine is the same in every family. Even though Tanchun is only thirteen years old, he already understands the reason behind this.

Brother Bao doesn't like to study, but he is the legitimate son. In the future, the second house of Rongguo Mansion will have to separate the family, and there will always be some money left. Not to mention that she also vaguely heard that the master and his wife intend to marry Brother Bao. This is a noble family, so as to continue the confidence of Rongguo Mansion.

She can understand that Brother Huan is not angry, but life is like this. Fortunately, Brother Huan is good at studying. I only hope that Brother Huan can read like Brother Feng. Even if he cannot pass the Jinshi examination like Brother Feng, as long as he can If you can pass the exam, you will be considered a proud ancestor, and you will be able to have a good fortune in the future.

"Brother Huan, I didn't know that Brother Feng was coming to the house, but when Brother Feng came to the house, it must be serious business for the eldest and the old master to see Brother Feng. It is also reasonable for Brother Lian and Brother Bao to accompany them. Brother Huan, you are still young, so it is normal that the government does not allow you to participate. When you get older in the future, I and my wife will naturally consider it for you..."

Tanchun tried his best to suppress his inner worries and avoid irritating Jia Huan.

She knew that her younger brother had an extreme temper and often liked to confront brother Bao. But in the end, he would probably suffer the consequences, and even drag his aunt into it.

Since you can study, why bother with Brother Bao? Read your book honestly. As long as you can read it, wouldn't it be good to jump out of this circle and fight for your own share of the world? Tanchun looked at this compatriot from the same mother with some hatred.

"Is there something serious? Of course I know that Brother Feng is here because he has something serious to do. Both his uncle and his father are going to participate. But Baoyu can participate, why can't I? I'm young? Ambition does not mean age. Baoyu will either be in the cosmetics all day long. Hanging around in the bush, or playing happily in the theater. I can't study or do things well. I'm two years younger than him. He can participate, why can't I participate?"

Sighing out a breath, Jia Huan's face became more sinister, his eyes were piercingly cold, and his voice was raised a bit.

"My uncles all said that I have a talent for studying. Brother Feng has always been very optimistic about me. Last time, he also encouraged me to study hard and become an official in the future. This time, Brother Feng has come back with great achievements, and the court will reward me soon. He is about to go to the Hanlin Academy to work as an editor and editor. Shouldn't I go to congratulate Brother Feng and ask for advice? What does Baoyu know? Isn't it just sitting on the wax if he goes to accompany him? "

Tanchun was frightened when he heard this, and his face changed.

Especially when she heard Jia Huan raise her voice, she was even more frightened and looked around, deeply afraid that someone else would come at this time. If these words were heard by his wife, she would be in serious trouble. .

Even if your uncle and Brother Feng admire you, can they still interfere in such family affairs?

“Brother Huan, you are crazy!” Tan Chun said with a stern voice, “Brother Bao is your elder brother, why do you use such language to ridicule him? If the master and his wife hear it, you can’t afford to suffer!”

"Third sister, have I ever ridiculed him? I'm just telling the truth." Jia Huan glanced at her compatriot sister contemptuously, "Forget it, you are also a bloodless person. You are always looking forward to your wife giving you a good look. I'll find a good family for you, but I'm afraid your wife may not like your thoughts. Her thoughts are all on Baoyu, so how can she care about you?"

His face turned pale with anger at his brother's words. Tan Chun stretched out his hand and slapped Jia Huan. Jia Huan didn't even try to avoid it. After receiving the slap, Jia Huan just let out a faint "poof" and walked away. Tanchun, who was left with tears in his eyes, stood there blankly.

"Girl!" Shishu supported Tanchun. They, the maids, could not intervene in the disputes between siblings and could only act as bystanders.

Seeing his girl burst into tears, the waiter lovingly wiped away her tears with a sweat towel, "Girl, don't be angry. I'm afraid Third Master Huan also hopes to see Uncle Feng. I heard that Uncle Feng is very fond of him." Appreciation, he was motivated by this, so he studied very hard, probably hoping that Uncle Feng could see his efforts."

"I know his intention is to let Brother Feng see the difference between him and Brother Bao, but can he compare with Brother Bao?" Tan Chun took a deep breath, "Human If you are different from others, don't compete. If you want to prove your ability, then study hard. If you really want to compete in autumn and spring like Brother Feng in the future, who can look down on you?"

"Girl, the third master is still young and has a short temper. How can he think so far ahead like you?" The servant comforted him: "The third master has been studying all year round and there is no one to encourage or comfort him, so I'm afraid he really wants to see Uncle Feng. On the one hand, he is afraid that he regards Uncle Feng as his role model..."

Tan Chun nodded slightly, Shi Shu's words are probably reasonable. No wonder Brother Huan is so resentful towards Baoyu. Brother Feng is coming tomorrow. Maybe he can ask Brother Feng to enlighten Brother Huan?

　　When Jia Lian returned to his small courtyard, it was already Kuai Zi time.

Stepping into the room, he saw Sister Feng yawning. She was wearing a goose-yellow silk satin tube top, with soft jade and warm fragrance. She was trembling. She was leaning on the pillow beside the bed. Feng'er was beating her legs beside her.

 “Where’s Ping’er?”

“Hey, let’s ask Ping’er what do you want to do when you get back?” Sister Feng glanced sideways at her husband, “What have you been doing for so long? Why are you still talking about it at night?”

"Feng'er, please go out." Jia Lian waved his hand and the little maid hurried out. Sister Feng was a little surprised. She sat up straight and stood up to help Jia Lian undress and untie her belt.

"What's wrong?"

"It's about a brother Keng coming to the house tomorrow." Jia Lian was a little absent-minded.

"Is this the case?" Sister Feng curled her lips, "Is it worth making such a fuss about? Even if he has made great achievements, what does it have to do with us?"

Jia Lian glanced sideways at the other party and went to bed. Sister Feng made room for her, and Jia Lian's hands became restless.

“Virtue, haven’t you said anything yet?” Sister Feng patted the other party.

"Hmph, that's what your second uncle came for." Jia Lian told the story angrily, "I guess the Shi family is doomed. It depends on whether the Ma family can be saved and Yun Guang is also involved. Yes, I remember you seemed to be saying that Yun Guang did you a favor the day before yesterday..."

Jia Lian was surprised when he saw Sister Feng's face turned pale and she was sitting there blankly. Jia Lian was surprised: "What's wrong, Sister Feng?"

Wang Xifeng suddenly grabbed Jia Lian's hand and asked hurriedly: "What do you think happened to Yun Guang?"

"It is said that Yun Guang has been involved in the Shi family's corruption and malfeasance. The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have already bitten him and suspended him pending investigation." Jia Lian didn't care much, but there seemed to be something wrong with Wang Xifeng's expression. , "Long Jinwei has also gone. He probably won't be able to escape."

"Is it just this one thing?" Wang Xifeng suppressed the panic in her heart, "Isn't Yunguang the governor of Shaanxi? Why was he involved in the Shi family's affairs? The suspension is pending investigation, so why is it said that the case has been finalized? ?”

"It's hard to explain. In short, if the Shi family is over, a group of people will definitely be involved. That Yun Guang is just the most conspicuous one." Jia Lian dismissed it, "All Long Jinwei's people are gone, do you think he can still escape? ? If there is no evidence, or the court does not want to touch him, then it will only be the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who will investigate. But now that even Long Jinwei has gone, then he will definitely be arrested directly. Maybe it will take a few days. He is about to go to prison, and if Long Jinwei does this, how can a scholar like Yun Guang withstand it?"

"Is there anything else about Yun Guang?" Wang Xifeng asked Jia Lian's arm nervously.

"Then how do I know?" Jia Lian saw that Wang Xifeng looked wrong and said suspiciously: "Sister Feng, is there something weird about what you asked Yun Guang to do last time?"

"It's nothing, I just asked him to help." Wang Xifeng tried to calm down, but she was filled with fear. Don't let this involve other things, otherwise this matter would be a big problem.

 Some time ago, she received three thousand taels of silver from the old nun of Tiekan Temple to help settle a matter.

The daughter of a wealthy family in Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province, was first betrothed to a son from Guyuan Shoubei, but later the daughter was attracted by the son of the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture and wanted to marry him. The rich man thought that he could climb up the pillar of the prefect here, so he took it upon himself to I agreed, accepted the betrothal gift here, and married one girl to the second.

The guard over there was also unforgiving, so he started making trouble and went to the province.

The Zhang family panicked and wanted to ask the province to suppress Guyuan's defense, so they asked someone to go to the capital. Although the old nun of Tiejuan Temple was an outsider, he had no money. He knew that Wang Xifeng was particularly good at this, so he asked someone to go to the capital. into her hands.

Although Yun Guang is a civil servant, he is married to Wu Xun, so he has some friendship with the Wang family and the Jia family, and he often visits Beijing in the past.

Wang Xifeng wrote a letter in the name of the Jia family and gave it to Yun Guang, hoping that Yun Guang could suppress the garrison at Guyuan Town. However, she never expected that the money would be collected. Not long after the letter was sent, Yun Guang didn't know Whether he helped handle the matter or not, it actually came to light because of the Shi family's affairs.

This letter is still in the Yun family. If it is caught by the Long Jinwei or the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I wonder if my family will be implicated?

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng felt like sitting on pins and needles. That night, Jia Lian slept like a dead pig, but she didn't even close her eyes. As soon as she closed her eyes, she dreamed of the Long Jinwei and the people coming from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
