Chapter 1 Died before the announcement of the teacher
Ningrong Street is a very famous street in Beijing.
According to legend, when Emperor Taizu decided to move the capital from Nanjing, he personally ordered that residences be built in the new capital for the distinguished ministers of the Dingding Dynasty. Ningguo and Rongguo, who were famous and respected in the world,
The public is at the forefront of the imperial list.
In addition, because Ningguo and Rongguo were brothers from the same mother, they had a close relationship. The imperial court took this into account and built the Ningguo Duke's Palace and the Rongguo Palace in the same place. From east to west, the two palaces alone were
It occupies four or five miles.
The Ningrong Street in front of the two mansions also got its name from this.
As a result, although Ningrong Street is located in a prosperous thoroughfare of the capital city, the common people know that it is private land between the two governments. Not only the traffickers and lackeys dare not set foot in it, but even the crowing cocks and dog thieves do not dare to cause trouble here.
Ningrong Street seems much quieter and quieter than the surrounding alleys all day long.
However, just west of Ningrong Street, deep inside a single black oil door, a major case occurred today, which soon caused the majestic Duke's Mansion to be in a state of chaos.
"Oops, Mr. Lian has fainted!!"
"Master, don't fight. If you fight again, someone will really die..."
"This damn beast, it's just the right time to die, it will kill you, kill you!"
From just a few words coming out of the courtyard, the boys and slaves on the verandah knew that their second master Lian had fallen into the hands of the master again. According to past experience, poor second master Lian had to suffer another blow.
Got a severe beating.
But listening to today's momentum, it is much more vigorous than in the past. And listening to the voices of the stewards pleading for mercy, don't tell me that Second Master Lian was really beaten to death by him, right?
With such curiosity, the servants secretly headed towards the inner courtyard that they could not normally set foot on.
After all, they didn't see the main drama. When they finally entered the courtyard in tandem, they only saw the backs of the housekeeper and his wife helping Master Lian leave. And in the corridor in front, one of the few powerful masters in the two mansions,
Their master was leaning against the concierge, banging on the door latch and gasping for air, the anger still lingering on his face.
None of the nearby housekeepers, concubines, or maids dared to approach him.
When the servants saw this, they didn't dare to show off their prowess. They either quietly retreated, or lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, not daring to look at him again.
"If a word of what happened today is spread, they will all be beaten to death!!"
The heavy wooden latch fell to the steps and bounced to the white stone ground, making a continuous "clang" sound. When the people around heard the master's stern words, they couldn't help but trembled in their hearts, and then they hurriedly said...
…
Jia Lian felt sore all over his body and his head was not clear. Some bizarre scenes always appeared in his mind, like a nightmare, which could not go away.
He forced himself to sit up, opened his eyes wide and looked around, and soon became a little stunned.
Just when he had several question marks on his head and many thoughts flashed through his mind, a slight "crunching" sound disturbed him.
Turning around, he saw that the wooden door had been pushed open, and a young woman walked in.
This woman was tall and tall, dressed like a beauty in ancient costume, and she was quite eye-catching. But she was a little sneaky in her movements. After closing the door, she raised her eyes and scanned the room. Perhaps she saw him, her face
Shang suddenly showed a happy face and rushed over quickly.
"Second Master, you're awake~"
Jia Lian couldn't ignore the pretentiously charming female voice. He opened his mouth and blurted out: "Qiutong...?"
Qiu Tong was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Second Master received a beating, doesn't it mean he doesn't even recognize me anymore?"
As she said that, she thought she had seen through Jia Lian's tricks, and she hummed: "You don't have to pretend to coax me, I know you have no face to see people now! The second master is used to being cold and cold, but you don't want to think about it, then Mei
After all, my aunt is the master of the master's room, how dare you do something random? As the saying goes, "How can you not get your shoes wet if you often walk by the river?" You didn't know how to take precautions, and now you are bumped into by the master...
I say the beating that the second master received was not unjust at all."
Hearing these words, Jia Lian's face was stunned, but his heart gradually became clearer.
Looking at Qiu Tong, who had a mocking look in front of him and two finely trimmed eyebrows raised high, which in vain reduced his attractiveness to the opposite sex, he took a deep breath and looked away.
He knew that he had probably traveled through time.
Those blurry pictures in my mind are actually memories of my previous life.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he understood that his current identity was actually the character in the novel "Dream of Red Mansions", which is known as the first classic classic - the Second Master Lian of the Rongguo Mansion.
That is, the husband of the most powerful woman in the Red Chamber, the gorgeous woman Wang Xifeng!
He didn't have time to express his inner feelings. From Qiutong's words and the vague impression in his mind, he had already realized what happened before, and he called him a good guy.
Speaking of which, as a young man who has been immersed in countless novels in later generations, he has naturally fantasized about time travel and imagined a different life. But now that he really caught up with him, he has a way of taking the blame for others.
, the feeling of stepping into a big pit!
The little wife who stole from the old man was caught on the spot, and then the mad old man picked up a door bolt and beat her head and face until she fell unconscious...
Is this really something that ordinary people can show off?
In this feudal clan society with strict etiquette, even cheating will be punished by being imprisoned in a pig cage. So what should we do with such a bold and lewd behavior?
Fire rack? Oil cooking? Light sky lanterns?
Thinking of a series of possible consequences, especially the fact that these consequences are now likely to be borne by him, Jia Lian, who was a time traveler for the first time, couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
Qiu Tong, who was sitting aside, saw Jia Lian's face looking wistful, and thought he was behind him, so he comforted him: "Second Master, don't worry too much. My anger is probably gone now. Mrs. Noon came back and offered to help you."
When I invited the doctor, I didn't stop him at all... In addition, I had already said before that no one was allowed to tell anyone what happened today, so I don't have to worry about Mistress Lian finding out."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the end, Qiutong couldn't help showing a hint of sarcasm.
If she hadn't known that the person in front of her was a lackluster and henpecked person, and that Mistress Lian was a domineering and cruel person, she would have moved to that room by any means, so why would she have to stay here in a miserable state.
Jia Lian didn't pay attention to Qiu Tong's expression, but he listened to her words.
He suddenly asked: "How is Aunt Mei... how are you doing?"
Jia Lian thought that if he, the "second master", was beaten half to death by Jia She, that is, he was beaten half to death on the spot, Aunt Mei, who was one of the parties involved and a more vulnerable female generation, would probably end up even worse.
"Huh, it's already here, and you're still thinking about her!"
Qiutong was disgusted and angry, and raised her heavily rouged lips into a high smile.
"Don't worry, she didn't show her face for a long time. It seemed that the master was curious about something. I heard that she knelt in that room for half an hour. When the wife came back, I saw that she was already serving the master in the room and having a drink.
Already.
Oh, I’m not afraid of you being angry if I say it. In the eyes of the master, you, my son, are not as important as Aunt Mei. It would be better for you to not say anything about being beaten to death, but you still come back to care about others..."
Although she was dissatisfied, Qiu Tong didn't really want to offend Jia Lian. Seeing that Jia Lian stopped talking, she changed her expression and said with a smile: "How is the injury on the second master's body? Look, I just stole this from the master's room.
, a medicine specially used to treat trauma.”
Qiutong took out a small, delicate wooden box from her arms and opened the lid. Inside was a dark ointment, accompanied by a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
"After the second master has used this medicine, his injuries will surely heal faster. Huh, those rough-handed women are used to flattering others and putting down others. Seeing that the second master has made him angry, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything."
Why did you apply medicine to the second master and then leave? Let me wipe him again now."
Qiu Tong lifted up Jia Lian's sleeve, rubbed it gently on the scar, and then took some medicine to wipe it.
She was trying to please her. After experiencing this difficulty, Jia Lian was afraid that he would never dare to sneak over here again while the master was away.
If you don't say this, you won't be able to see Jia Lian easily in the future. I'm afraid that as time goes by, Jia Lian will forget them all.
"No need..."
Skin-to-skin contact, Jia Lian subconsciously pushed his hand to reject.
To be fair, if he didn't understand the original work, and a girl was willing to give him scratch medicine at this moment, he would be happy to accept it.
However, he knew that this Qiu Tong was not a good person, but more importantly, she was Jia She's maid.
My predecessor had good teeth and liked to touch the smelly smell, but that was not the case with him.
Seeing Qiu Tong's expression change, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Many... thank you very much, but... the master may still be angry now, so you don't want to stay in my room for too long, in case someone sees you.
It won't be good if you tell the master. You can go back first, and I can just apply the medicine myself."
Jia Lian thought that Qiu Tong still had some weight around Jia She. In this era of "lords, ministers, fathers and sons", with his status, it would be difficult to get rid of Jia She's influence. Therefore, Qiu Tong should not offend him for the time being, and he might return it in the future.
Can be of help.
It's just that his predecessor often called Qiutong "sister" or "beauty", but he was a little unable to speak about it, so that his explanation sounded a bit delayed.
Qiu Tong didn't pay attention, only thinking that Jia Lian was frightened. And she was also afraid of being caught by someone if she stayed here for too long, so she put down the medicine, told her how to use it, and then gave her two winks.
Get up and sneak away.
After Qiu Tong left, Jia Lian slumped back on the kang again, his mind wandering.
He actually became Second Master Lian!
Alas, he became Second Master Lian...
I have long heard that ancient aristocrats lived a corrupt life, and I have also heard the famous saying, "Everything is clean except the stone lion at the door." Now, experiencing it personally, it is really refreshing for the soul and eye-opening. The ancients do not deceive me.
Putting aside the messy things in his mind, Jia Lian tilted his head slightly and saw the slippery quilt in his hand. It was made of fine silk fabric. This thing, no matter in the past or in the future, is a luxurious thing, not for rich people.
rare.
Taking another look at this house, although it was just his former residence and he does not live there now, all the furnishings and appliances in this house are valuable. If many of them were sold off, a single piece could make an ordinary family rich.
More than a month.
It is indeed the Duke's Mansion. I really want to continue to live in peace and be a rich second generation. Not only can I have wine and food, go to the theater, but also have a beautiful wife to warm me. What a wonderful life...
After all, it can only be thought about.
He forced himself to sit up. It was rare for him to experience such a strange experience. Not to mention the unwillingness to be ordinary that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, the current situation did not allow him to be like this.
The old man's anger, his own reputation, and the fate of his family... He remembered that the huge Jia family, a family with two princes, would eventually be destroyed in a few years.
As the ancient saying goes, "No eggs are left intact when the nest is overturned." By then, he, the Second Master Lian of the Rongguo Mansion, might not be able to escape disaster.
This is not the ending he wants to see!
However, these cannot be controlled at the moment. How to face the anger of the old man Jia She is the top priority.
In this era, if the father wants the son to die, the son must die. It seems that it is not just talk.
Touching the obviously swollen back of his head again, Jia Lian knew that the previous beating of Jia She was definitely a fatal blow. If he hadn't come by a coincidence, there would probably be no such person as "Second Master Lian" in this world.
.
Moreover, Jia Lian also knew that even if Jia She really beat him to death, it would not be a big deal to him.
Perhaps, the other party will grit his teeth and curse: "Damn little beast, it's just the right time to die!"
Then continue to drink when you should, and play with women when you should...
The world is like this, and Jia Lian can't complain for his predecessor. What he cares about is, if the old man knows that he is not dead, will he come over and give him another beating?
This was just the beginning of the game. Although "Sheng" died before he started, he didn't want to die as well. He was beaten to death by a bad old man in such a useless way!
However, Jia She has a noble title and is his father in name. If they deliberately deal with him, he will not even have a place to hide!
How to break this deadlock?
Jia Lian, who was suffering from a severe headache, suddenly caught a glimpse of a sword hanging neatly on the wall nearby, and his eyes suddenly froze.
As the saying goes... strike first to gain the upper hand?
