Chapter 54: A Serendipitous Encounter
This sounds familiar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, he saw Kong Lang standing in front of him with a smile.
Hehe, it's really a narrow road.
"It turned out to be Brother Lang, that's really a hometown acquaintance."
Clenched his fists and arched his hand, Jia Lian looked at the smiling tiger in front of him with a smile.
This person is tricky, he suffered such a big loss last time, and he can still laugh when he sees himself this time.
Kong Lang seemed to know what Jia Lian was thinking, and the smile on his face became even bigger when he heard this.
"Who says it's not, they all say that there are three happy events in life: the candle night in the cave room, the title of the gold list, and then our hometown encounter."
After speaking, he stepped forward and rested his hand on Jia Lian's shoulder.
"Actually, speaking seriously, we account for two of the three happy events of me and the second master."
Disgusted, he took down the arm on his shoulder, and the corners of Jia Lian's mouth tugged.
"That's really fate, so I don't seem to have congratulated Brother Lang on the joy of the cave room."
Thinking of the payment that was cheated by Jia Lian last time, Kong Lang snorted coldly, and the smile on his face stiffened.
"Then Kong has thanked the second master here, I don't know why the second master came to Yangzhou this time?"
Without waiting for Jia Lian to speak, Kong Lang said to himself as if he had suddenly realized.
"Oh~ I still forgot about this stubble, the wife of Lord Shilin, who patrols the salt and the imperial history, I heard that it is your aunt and grandmother."
The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, and Kong Lang arched his hand towards Jia Lian.
"Then I really want to ask the second master to mourn, Mrs. Lin went suddenly, this shows that Yangzhou is not very peaceful, the second master has to be careful, and it is good to follow in the footsteps of Mrs. Lin."
Jia Lian heard that this was wrong, and was about to ask what was going on. Kong Lang ignored him again, and walked away with people straight away.
"Yangzhou is not peaceful?"
Jia Lian muttered this sentence repeatedly, his face was extremely strange.
Kong Lang is just a relative of the concubine of Prince Heshun's mansion, who gave him the confidence?
Where does the confidence come from? Say this.
Jia Lian pondered, and suddenly remembered the conspiracy theory of Jia Min's death that later generations said.
He remembered that his colleagues around him had talked about this section, saying that Jia Min's death was by no means ordinary, but a corroboration of Lin Ruhai's warning in the position of patrolling the salt imperial history.
The Imperial History of Salt Patrol is a fat man, and most of the people in this position are the emperor's henchmen. Because of the salt one, the interests in the middle are too great.
But because of this, the government and businessmen colluded below, the government could not collect taxes, and the people could not afford to eat salt, so they could only take the risk of buying private salt.
The treasury has no money, and the taxes have to be increased, so that the people will not be able to afford it, and more and more people will buy illicit salt.
Jia Lian looked at Kong Lang's back suspiciously.
collusion between government and business...... Could it be that there is still a matter of the Kong family here? Or...... Jia Min's death is really weird.
Lacking interest, he randomly found a teahouse to stay, and Jia Lian looked out the window in a daze.
Jia Mincai will die in January, and Jia's mother misses her daughter and wants to pick up her granddaughter Liao, which is normal. But why did Lin Ruhai send Lin Daiyu away so easily, even eagerly?
And there were only a few people with him, although he had only been here for a day, Jia Lian had already found out. Although there are not many masters in the Lin Mansion, there are a lot of subordinates, is it true that there are not even a few people who can be used? I also want Jia's mother to give it separately.
Could it be ......
Just thinking about it, a loud voice sounded.
"Adventure, adventure."
Jia Lian looked up and saw a person coming up from downstairs with his back to him.
"When did dude come? My younger brother didn't know that it was really fate to meet by chance today. ”
On the opposite side, an elegant-looking man in his forties, dressed in a long robe, got up and hugged his fists and smiled at the visitor.
Jia Lian couldn't see the face of the visitor, only looked at a back, round and round, like a ball.
Turning his head, Jia Lian continued to look at the people coming and going outside the window. And because the two tables are not far apart, the sound of conversation on the opposite side is also heard here.
"I arrived home at the end of last year, and now I have to go to Beijing, so I will find a friend to say a word to me on the way. Accept his affection, and keep me for two more days. I didn't have anything to do, so I sat around for two days, and then got up in the middle of the month. Today I have something to do, I came here because I had nothing to do, I didn't expect such a coincidence! ”
Later, the chubby man had a loud voice, and Jia Lian was so noisy that his head hurt.
Helplessly, he glanced at the other party, and after staying for a while, he saw that the two of them had no signs of leaving, and it was not too early to see that it was too early, or go back, and when he got up, he heard the fat man speak.
"Rong Guojia's mansion, but I won't insult the old man's lintel!"
After a pause, Jia Lian's face was extremely strange.
This...... The lines sound like Leng Zixing's speech about Rongguofu?
Could it be ...... This is Leng Zixing and Jia Yucun?
simply sat down again, and Jia Lian pricked up his ears this time and listened carefully.
He remembered that this Leng Zixing seemed to be from Jiafu.
The two drank and ate food at the same time, and Leng Zixing told Jia Yucun about the matter of Jiafu again.
Jia Lian used to know about Rongguofu only through TV and the jokes of female colleagues and the memories left by his predecessor, but this time Leng Zixing's remarks made him reacquaint himself with Rongguofu.
Jia Yucun smiled at Jia Baoyu's peculiarity, and was puzzled.
"I just said that Zhenggong already has a son of a jade, and there is a weak grandson left by the eldest son, and there is no one who can't pardon the old man?"
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, this is about to talk about the big house. He remembered that this Leng Zixing seemed to be from the second room.
"If you ask the old man, he also has two sons, the eldest son is named Jia Lian, and he is in his twenties today. I don't like business, and I mess with Kyoto every day. was originally in the country, but the ancestor saw that he was not successful, so he retired. Let the previous Uncle Nai's eldest son, Uncle Zhu, go. His uncle saw that he had a good chance on the road of the world, and he talked about it, and asked the clan to simply give him some things on the road of the world. The second son is well-behaved, but he is a little wooden, and the parents might as well be happy with the eldest son. ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, Jia Lian knew this time, Jia Zheng's reputation as "upright" was really good.
And because Jia Lian didn't want to meet this Leng Zixing, he was afraid that he would be recognized when he went out, so he simply shrank inside and didn't go out.
The two on the other side talked eloquently, and after a long time, Leng Zixing spoke.
"It's getting late, and my friend asked me to get together in the evening like a moon building, why don't you go with Yucun?"
Jia Lian had been impatient for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but who knew that Jia Yucun said.
"Brother, go first, brother has to wait for someone today, so you can't go together."
Leng Zixing said goodbye by himself, and Jia Lian sat for a while, estimating that the person had already walked away, before getting up again.
When I walked up the stairs, I saw a person coming up again, and walked straight to Jia Yucun.
"This is a success, thank you Brother Yucun for your help, this is a reward."
Jia Lian saw that the sky was indeed dark, so he only glanced at the person's appearance casually, and returned to the Lin Mansion with a few little servants.
Back in the courtyard arranged for him by Lin Ruhai, a small servant stepped forward.
"The little one has seen the young master, the master has returned, and I told the young master to take you to see him when he comes back."
