It is said that Lin Zhixiao took the two little guys to Jiafu to rush to Jiafu, and braved the wind and snow along the way, and returned to Jiafu on the evening of the second day, but it was already three watches, so he hurriedly came to report to Jia Lian, but Jia Lian was not there, so he had to tell his wife and let his wife go to inform Mrs. Wang quickly.

When Mrs. Wang learned that Lin Zhixiao had returned, and heard that Jia Zheng had not come back, she was anxious, so she couldn't take care of it, and urgently ordered someone to pass on Lin Zhixiao to come in for questioning.

Lin Zhixiao saw Mrs. Wang, and before Mrs. Wang spoke, he knelt down and said with a smile: "Mrs. rest assured, the master's trip must have been very smooth, although I didn't hear the master's orders, but I saw the lord and the eunuchs and guards in the palace going in a mighty way, presumably to do something big." ”

Mrs. Wang said: "Since I am going to do something, why don't I send a word to the house." Since you saw the master come out, didn't the master explain a word to you?"

Lin Zhixiao said: "At that time, there were eunuchs and honor guards in the palace in front, the lord was in the middle, but there were many inner court guards in the back. But when the lord passed by the palace gate, he knew that I was waiting outside the palace gate, so he deliberately lifted the curtain of the car and waved to the servants, meaning to call us back, but he didn't dare to say a word. At that time, the slave also saw the look on the master's face, which did not look unfavorable, so he came back in a hurry. According to the slave, the master must have gone to deal with some major matter, and it is inconvenient to say. From this point of view, the lord must have won the emperor's favor, otherwise, what would the eunuchs and honor guards of the inner court do, as well as so many guards?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was a little happy in her heart, but she was still relieved, so she ordered: "You go and call Lian'er and his eldest brother Zhen quickly, and say that I have something to say." ”

When Lin Zhixiao heard this, he had to quit and hurriedly went with his wife.

The two of them came to the second gate, but Jia Lian and Jia Zhen came over in a hurry.

Jia Lian said: "You old man, don't tell me how to come back to the house, you have to send someone to tell me." You say, what is the matter with the lord going to the palace?"

Lin Zhixiao had no choice but to tell Jia Zheng about leaving the palace without saying a word and leaving with the eunuchs and others in the inner court.

Jia Zhen smiled and said, "It seems that the master's trip is done!"

Lin Zhixiao saw that the two were happy, so he bragged a lot.

Jia Zhen said: "Is this trip going well? I heard that the big inner secret agent in the palace has been dispatched, and he has taken people everywhere, but you haven't met him?"

A word reminded Lin Zhixiao. Lin Zhixiao stumbled and said: "It turned out to be a secret agent in the inner circle! Why didn't I meet it! My master and I went through a lot of hardships all the way, and finally arrived at the purple bamboo forest outside Wuliu Town, who knew that the snow was too big, knee-deep snow, and the mule cart was trapped. It should also be this catastrophe, the old man just got out of the car, the sky was bright, only to hear a wild laugh from the sky, and a grimace suddenly appeared in front of him. ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he exclaimed, "Grimace Daoist?"

Lin Zhixiao continued: "Exactly. The grimace Taoist stood on a big stone with a long sword, his eyes were full of murderous aura, and the two unsuccessful little guys who followed him had already fled in fright. To be honest, I was also scared, but the master is still here, and I have to fight to protect the master. Just as I was about to move forward, I saw the grimace fly down from the boulder in a flash, and stood in front of me and the master in the blink of an eye. The old man still had the courage and insight, so he untied a bag of money from the minion's waist and handed it over. ”

Jia Zhen said, "Did he take the silver?"

Lin Zhixiao said: "No! Since he is a secret agent in the inner world, how can he put that idea in his eyes." I saw him bend down and grab a handful of snow, make it into a snowball, and suddenly hit me in front of the door, and the slave was knocked unconscious by him. ”

Jia Lian said: "What about later?"

"Later, when I awoke, the old man fell asleep in the mule cart. The two unsuccessful bastards also returned, and our carriage came out of the pit, so we hurried to the palace. But I still didn't catch up with the early dynasty, and I didn't enter the imperial city until the afternoon. ”

Jia Zhen listened and said with a smile: "I guessed this, fortunately it was a false alarm, let's go see my wife quickly." ”

Jia Zhen said, pulling Jia Lian up.

The two of them came to Mrs. Wang's place, and when they saw that Sister Feng had also arrived early, Jia Lian was very unhappy in her heart, and she didn't look at Sister Feng in her eyes, but only said to Mrs. Wang: "Brother Zhen and I have also heard about the master, so it must be fine, and Mrs. Don't worry." ”

Jia Zhen said: "Since there are eunuchs and honor guards and guards in the inner court, this is the etiquette only for the minister to announce the decree, could it be that the old man went to the third sister!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly opened their mouths and said yes.

Jia Lian and Jia Zhen had long thought that there would be such a thing in the palace, but now that it has come true, they have already become uneasy in their hearts, but they don't dare to show it on their faces.

Sister Feng said happily: "In this way, the emperor still relies on our Jia Mansion." Now the one in the Grand View Garden has also exoneded, as long as she leaves, even if she doesn't leave, we won't bother her about anything, it can be said that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and there will be no disaster. Although we have lost a garden, but in the end in exchange for the emperor's trust and the peace of the house, as long as we are more diligent in the future, this day will definitely be like a day. This is all thanks to the lord and wife. ”

Sister Feng's words made Mrs. Wang happy, so she lost her sleepiness, so she simply asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet, saying that she would invite Aunt Xue and Baochai to come over for Lele tomorrow.

When Jia Lian heard this, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but pretended to smile with a smile on his face: "If it is really thanks to the master and wife, our Jia Mansion will turn the corner again, and in the future, it will definitely be rich and noble." Since my wife wants to have fun, now my aunt has moved out to live in her own shop across the street, and it is not too early for this day, but I am afraid that it will be five watches, so I will call someone to invite it, and by the way, invite a female shilling to have fun. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was overjoyed and nodded.

As soon as Jia Lian and Jia Zhen came out, they hurried to Ning Guofu.

Jia Lian said: "All this was said by my brother, but how can we deal with it next." If it is really as my brother said, the master will go to the third sister and return in vain, and our two mansions are only afraid that there will be another catastrophe, and the girls don't know anything, but they don't know what to do, and they really don't know that they are dying. ”

Jia Zhen sighed: "The one who should come will come back after all, we have to prepare early." This time, it's really a matter of life and death, and the handle of the knife must be pinched in your own hands. ”

Jia Lian said: "According to what the eldest brother said, how can we hold the knife handle in our hands?"

Jia Zhen stroked his beard and said: "You have also seen the king of Nan'an, and he is also a brave and unscrupulous person, but I am afraid that everything depends on our third sister." Our knife handle is her. ”

Jia Lian was shocked: "How do you say this? She is far away in Nan'anzhou, how can we control her?"

Jia Zhen sneered: "Do you think she is the best person to be with when she is not out of the cabinet?"

Jia Lian listened, thought for a while, and said, "Except for his wife, of course it's Baoyu!"

Jia Zhen nodded and said, "That's it! And we, too, are mixed. If we do it well, we will have more time to prepare, but if we don't do it well, we are afraid that a catastrophe will come. ”

Jia Lian said: "If the matter is urgent, let's desperately flee to Nan'an Prefecture and take refuge with the third sister." ”
