The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 158: Recruiting Xiangyun

Lai Da left, and Zhou Rui became the new steward of the Jia family.

No one had any objections. After all, Zhou Rui and his wife were both Madam Wang’s confidants and came with the dowry. If not them, who else could be used?
In this dynasty, the emperor has his own ministers. Sooner or later, the people under the old lady will be eliminated and replaced by Mrs. Wang's own people. It is only normal.

Apart from some old people who are mourning the loss of a rabbit, no one cares what happens to General Lai.

Lai Da also intended to keep a low profile. After taking the deed, he burned it on the spot after checking it. Then he kowtowed to Mrs. Wang to express his gratitude. He got a broken donkey cart, took his family, young and old, and each person carried a small bag. He walked out of the mansion in silence and disappeared at the end of the street.

All the servants in the mansion surrounded Zhou Rui and his wife and spoke well of them. Who would be willing to even look at Lai Da?
Lai Da didn't care either. He and the old woman supported each other. The whole family squeezed into the crowded donkey cart, feeling at ease and no one spoke.

It was not until the donkey cart was far away from the Jia Mansion that Lai Da opened his eyes with a smile. He leaned his head out and looked around carefully. After making sure that there was no one around, he looked up to the sky and laughed out loud.

"Haha...from today on, there is no more Butler Lai in this world, there is only Mr. Lai!"

The others also joined in the laughter and threw the small bags in their hands into the corner of the donkey cart, discarding them as if they were a piece of trash.

"walk home!"

Lai Dada waved his hand, and Lai Shangrong whipped the donkey hard, causing the donkey to raise its four hooves and run wildly.

Not long after, Lai Da's house appeared in everyone's sight. In terms of scale, it was certainly not as big as the Jia Mansion, but just looking at the luxurious facade, you could tell that this was not something an ordinary wealthy family could afford to live in.

The donkey cart arrived at the door, and without waiting for knocking, the door opened from the inside.

Lai Shangrong drove the donkey cart into the gate and the gate closed.

He gently helped his grandfather get off the donkey cart. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lai Da frown and shouted:

"Where did all the people in the family go? Why didn't they come out to greet us?"

Just as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed out from the backyard, all of them were wearing black scarves and masks, holding knives and guns in their hands, and they grinned at Lai Da.

"Master Lai, my village chief wants to borrow some money from you, Master Lai."

Lai Da was immediately shocked and angry, pointing his halberd and shouting:
"This is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, the best place. Who are you to dare to commit a crime in the capital?"

"Do you know who I am? How dare you come here to blackmail me?"

The man laughed and said:

"If you were still the housekeeper of the Jia Mansion, I would naturally be wary of you, but haven't you left the Jia Mansion now?"

"Why do you think that you, a nobody, can have so much wealth?"

Upon hearing the thief's words, Lai Da's face turned pale, his fingers trembled, and he shouted in a trembling voice:
"Did the Second Madam send you here?"

"My Lai family has worked hard for the Jia family for decades, so is she so cruel?"

"Idiot!" The man snorted coldly and waved his hand. Everyone rushed forward. Before Lai Da and others could scream, they knocked them out, tied them up, loaded them into a car, and transported them out of the city.

Of course, these people were sent by Master Zhan.

Ever since he heard that Lai Da was leaving home, Mr. Zhan has been coveting Lai Da's property.

Although he can turn stone into gold, that is an illusion. It can be used to deceive others, but it is not suitable for him to use on himself.

Since Lai Da wanted to escape from his sight, he might as well kill him all at once to replenish his blood.

After all, Mr. Zhan is used to spending lavishly, and the money he earns through normal means is never enough for him to spend.

After dealing with Lai Da, Master Zhan thought for a while and decided that since Lai Da had been dealt with, it would be bad to just leave Lai Er alone, so he might as well deal with him at the same time!

In recent years, Lai Er was transferred by Master Zhan to work at the Jockey Club, and he no longer had any real power in Ningguo Mansion. However, it was a lucrative job there, and he made a lot of money, so he cooperated very well with Master Zhan's adjustments to Ningguo Mansion.

However, cooperation is cooperation, and it is human nature to abandon one's former lover after his death.

Now that we are going to reap the benefits, we certainly can’t miss him!

The most important thing for a family is to be together!

Now, after years of experience, Yang Yougong has become a master in this field. No matter whether it is torture, coercion or inducement, it won't be long before the two large houses of Lai family are changed to the name of Zhan, and all the land and properties are also transferred.

These do require official cooperation, but Mr. Zhan's current title of Viscount is enough to give all parties the green light without too much interference.

As for the IOUs and the like, Mr. Zhan simply asked people to take them as favors and burned them all, without even taking the principal.

Mr. Zhan doesn't cheat poor people out of their money!

He was doing things with great fanfare, but the outside world was silent. No one noticed, or no one cared about the disappearance of the Lai family.

If Lai Shangrong passed the imperial examination and Lai Da redeemed him, Master Zhan would have to take more detours to do things. But now Lai Shangrong was just a scholar, and if he was gone, he was gone without even a splash.

Not only is human life as cheap as grass in times of chaos, but even in times of prosperity, ordinary people without protection still find it difficult to protect their lives and property.

So don't be surprised that many people are always trying to climb up. If you don't get on top, you will be slaughtered. Those who are not motivated can only be because they have never been cut by the knife, or the knife is cutting slowly.

After doing such a big thing, Mr. Zhan acted as if nothing had happened. He continued to do what he was doing and wander around the Jia Mansion.

The Jia Mansion is now in a state of panic and decay. No one stops outsiders like Master Zhan from wandering around.

What's more, there are traitors like Mrs. Wang watching from above, so anyone who talks too much will be suppressed directly.

Now, when Mr. Zhan visits the Jia Mansion, it is just like visiting his own back garden.

The Grand View Garden has been built, so how far is Mr. Zhan’s harem?

Mr. Zhan has made up his mind. In the future, he will treat the Grand View Garden as his own back garden and arrange all the women in his family who have no status to stay there. He can use whichever one he wants and even hold a gala during festivals. Isn't that wonderful?
Although the underground palace is fully equipped with props, the environment is rather cramped and not as quiet as the Grand View Garden, where people can have sex in broad daylight.

After teasing Yingchun for a while, Master Zhan returned to the mansion and Yang Yougong came to report.

"Master, the sentence of the Baoling Marquis Mansion has come down. The whole family will be exiled and will leave soon."

"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. I'll take Xiangyun to see them one last time."

Mr. Zhan went into the backyard to look for Xiangyun, and saw her and Qingwen playing cards there, with their faces covered with notes.

Mr. Zhan had always been a fun-loving person. Now that he had money and free time, he brought out many chess and card items from later generations and spread them widely in the mansion.

These things have been able to be passed down to later generations because they have all been tested over time and are the most addictive. There is no one in the mansion who doesn't like to play with them.

Xiangyun's original personality was cheerful and she was generous and free-spirited. After getting rid of the cautiousness she had when she first entered the mansion, she quickly won the love of many sisters, who were all willing to take her with them when they had fun.

Now seeing Master Zhan coming in, Xiangyun was not afraid at all, but jumped up and shouted:

"The master is here, he must be looking for me, I don't want to play anymore."

The sisters laughed and scolded:
"You've got it all over your face, you're clearly trying to take advantage of this opportunity to cheat!"

"Why did you have to learn something else from my younger sister, to learn how to shirk your debts?"

"If I had known that you were being led astray by her, I wouldn't have let you two play together."

Xiangyun just covered her ears, pretending not to hear anything, and jumped to Master Zhan's side, her eyes full of admiration.

"Master, are you here to see me?"

Now that she has lived in the mansion for many days, Xiangyun has a general idea of ​​what kind of person Master Zhan is, and she no longer rejects him.

Although she was just a concubine, she was naturally generous and free-spirited, and she was open-minded. She put worldly views behind her and was very satisfied with this marriage.

Mr. Zhan liked her lively and innocent character the most, so he laughed and hugged Xiangyun in his arms. He tore up the note first, kissed her on her cherry lips, and then got down to business.

"The imperial court has issued an order that Uncle Shi's entire family will be exiled and will leave soon. I thought you should go meet them again. I don't know when we will meet again."

After hearing this, Xiangyun also became sad.

Although the Shi family was not very kind to her, after all, he had raised her for many years, so she still had some feelings for this uncle.

Mr. Zhan immediately took Xiangyun to change into casual clothes and went out by car to visit the Shi family.

Although they had been taken care of by Master Zhan many times and no one in the prison deliberately humiliated Shi Nai's family, the living conditions in the prison itself were very poor. After being locked up in there for such a long time without seeing the sun, everyone's complexion was extremely terrible. In addition, they were unkempt and smelly, looking like a group of beggars. There was no trace of the former marquis's mansion.

Although Xiangyun's clothes were simple, they were clean and tidy, her face was rosy, and she had not suffered any hardship at all, which was in stark contrast to them.

Master Zhan glanced around and saw that many people's eyes were filled with jealousy.

This was because Master Zhan intentionally wanted Xiangyun to take off all the gold and silver jewelry, jade rings and other accessories on her body, otherwise it would arouse even more jealousy.

When Master Zhan went to rescue Xiangyun before, these people had just been arrested and imprisoned. They still had a sense of luck in their hearts, thinking that with such a large family like the Shi family, there must be relatives and friends who could help overturn the case or rescue them. They also had a serious lack of understanding of the hardships in prison, so they were not jealous of Xiangyun being taken away by Master Zhan as a concubine.

But it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. They seriously overestimated their ability to withstand hardship, and after just over a month, they could no longer endure it.

Now that I see Xiangyun so happy, I feel that my own family is working even harder.

Why should they have to suffer, but little girl Xiangyun doesn’t have to?

Isn't it just selling yourself to be a concubine? It seems that everyone can do it?
Some who have suffered enough now want to sell themselves into slavery rather than continue following the historian.

Shi Nai certainly knew what these people were thinking, but now that his family was in trouble, there was no need to force others to follow him, which would only make them hate him. So he smiled bitterly and said to Master Zhan:
"My dear nephew, I have always known that I am guilty and exiled, but my family is innocent."

"My wife and children are too closely related to me. I have no choice but to continue to follow them to the border to suffer. But I have several concubines and some slaves at home. I don't think the court will care."

"I intend to sell them all to my nephew in exchange for some silver as travel expenses."

"What do you think, nephew?"

After hearing this, Mr. Zhan said righteously:
"What did uncle say?"

"I brought a thousand taels of silver with me, which I will give to my uncle as a gift on his journey."

"Uncle, just use it. Don't ask me whether I will sell it or not."

"Uncle, you have been on a long journey, and you have encountered so many difficulties and dangers along the way. How can you not have someone to serve you?"

Mr. Zhan took out a handful of silver bills from his pocket and stuffed them into Shi Nai's hand.

Although most of the women who can become concubines are not bad looking, Mr. Zhan has high standards nowadays and he doesn't like ordinary vulgar women.

With Master Zhan's current physique like that of Tang Monk, it's hard to say who is taking advantage of whom when he takes in a group of ordinary concubines!
He had originally planned to give three to five hundred taels as a token of his appreciation, but after being frightened by Shi Nai, he immediately raised the amount to a thousand taels, thinking of it as spending money to avoid disaster.

Shi Nai thought he was being polite, and after hesitating for a while, he realized that he really didn't want these people, so he gave up.

The people who had listened to the entire conversation suddenly became agitated. They regretted not selling themselves earlier and became even more jealous of Xiangyun.

This atmosphere was very obvious, and Xiangyun also noticed it. She felt unhappy, so she and Shi Nai hugged each other and cried bitterly, then said goodbye to Master Zhan and left, no longer worrying about the lives of these people.

On the way back, Xiangyun snuggled in Master Zhan's arms, silent all the way, obviously in a bad mood, so Master Zhan comforted her:
"All good things must come to an end. If you have deep feelings for each other, then keep in touch and help each other. If you have shallow feelings for each other, then you should just break up and don't worry about such things."

Xiangyun sighed and shook her head:
"Master, you have misunderstood. I am not angry because they are jealous of me. I just cannot understand why there are so many people in this world who are obsessed with the red and the white."

"If you're looking at the power and influence of others and trying to curry favor with them, I can understand that. After all, it's all for the sake of gaining benefits!"

"But belittling others won't bring them any benefits, but will only create personal hatred. Why do so many people always like to kick someone when they are down and want to step on them whenever they see them?"

"Oh, Xiangyun, you are remembering the bullying they did to you over the years!"

Master Zhan patted Xiangyun's chest and assured her: "Don't worry, sister Xiangyun, this kind of thing will never happen in our house... Well, at least it won't happen to concubines and maids. As for those below, Master is too lazy to care."

Xiangyun laughed when she heard this, her eyes rolling, and she couldn't help laughing and said:
"I heard from my sisters that if anyone dares to cause trouble in the backyard, the master will beat her with a big stick!"

"The master has spoiled the sisters to the point of being unbelievable. None of them have the slightest girlish reserve. They are as flirtatious as they want to be."

"They have been saying a lot of embarrassing things to me these days. They have been enjoying teasing me all day long. It's so embarrassing."

"What the sisters talked about most was the master. When he beat people, he wanted to kill them."

"But they also said that the master also rewards the sisters who behave well by beating them."

"I just don't understand why the rewards and punishments are all the same?"

After hearing this, Mr. Zhan also burst into laughter.

"Your master's stick skills are as good as those of a god. I can use them freely. I can strike when I want to and retract them when I want to."

"If you keep fighting, it will be a reward. But if you stop fighting at the critical moment, it will naturally be torture."

Xiangyun had never been involved in human affairs, so how could she understand the twists and turns involved? After listening to Mr. Zhan's explanation, she became even more confused.

Master Zhan smiled and said:
"This is a simple matter. Wait until I give you a beating and you'll know the answer."

Xiangyun blushed and said:
"Master, are you planning to take her home?"

"That's right. When we find a good day, the master will officially take you in as his concubine."

Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, then stared at Mr. Zhan with her beautiful eyes and said boldly:
"I think tonight is a good day, why bother looking for another one?"

Master Zhan was stunned. Looking at Xiangyun's bravery, he liked her even more. He immediately hugged her tightly and nodded in agreement:
"Yes, tonight is a good day, the master will take you in when he returns!"

After returning to the mansion and getting off the carriage, Master Zhan gave orders to hold a concubine ceremony for Xiangyun tonight and asked all the concubines to prepare gifts.

After the girls heard the news, they came over to congratulate Xiangyun and teased her, making her blush. Only then did she leave behind all the "magic weapons" she had prepared.

"My dear sister, these are the master's favorite treasures. You must use them one by one tonight and tell your sisters tomorrow what you think of them."

At first, Xiangyun dealt with them with a blushing face, but later she saw that they were becoming more and more outrageous. The things they brought were more and more explicit, which made people blush and their hearts beat fast just by looking at them, let alone using them. Xiangyun, who was embarrassed and angry, had a tantrum and took Ping'er to drive out these bad sisters who came to make trouble. Only then could she sit down peacefully and start to dress up.

Ping'er entered the mansion only a few days earlier than Xiangyun, but she was already a woman. After being taken in by Master Zhan, she gradually realized that her master was different from others. Later, she conspired with Master Zhan to summon Wang Xifeng for a few days, and she witnessed all kinds of magical powers of Master Zhan.

Now that she was assigned to serve in Xiangyun's room, she did not dare to be jealous at all. Instead, she was happy that her new master Xiangyun was easier to get along with than a shrew like Wang Xifeng.

She pulled Xiangyun in front of the mercury mirror that showed every detail, opened the beauty gift bag provided by Mr. Zhan, laid it out on the dressing table, picked up the large and small brushes, and began to carefully paint Xiangyun.

Beautiful women all have their own talents for makeup. Master Zhan didn’t quite understand these things, but when these beauties in the Zhan mansion got together, chattered and tinkered with them, they soon figured out what those strange things were for, and they all loved them as treasures.

It was the first time that Xiangyun saw this epoch-making cosmetics. Just looking at the familiar face in the mirror, after Ping'er drew it in a few strokes, the face became completely different. The originally cute and lovely face suddenly became incredibly beautiful.

Xiangyun pinched her cheeks gently and cried out in disbelief:
"Ah, Sister Ping'er, you are so amazing, I can hardly recognize you!"

Ping Erh did not take credit for it, but just smiled and replied:

"It's not that my makeup skills are so good, it's mainly because the makeup is so good."

"If you like, I'll teach you slowly later."

"In fact, the master likes us to be without makeup the most, especially he likes to put facial masks on us personally, but tonight is your big day, you have to look your most beautiful."

"Young lady, please don't feel wronged just because you are just a concubine. After tonight, you will know that our master is not an ordinary person. Let alone being a concubine, even if I am a maid by your side, I am luckier than being the general's wife in Rongguo Mansion."

The women in the Zhan Mansion were relatively sensible. They knew that Master Zhan's situation was special, so all the unusual circumstances were circulated internally and never told to outsiders.

Although Xiangyun got along well with everyone before, as long as she was not taken in as the master's wife, she was not considered a family member, and many unusual things were never mentioned to her.

Now that Mr. Zhan is going to officially take Xiangyun as his concubine, Ping'er begins to treat her as the real mistress of the house and confides some secret things to her in private.

Xiangyun was puzzled, but when she wanted to ask in detail, Ping'er stopped talking and just said:
"Even if I tell you now, you may not believe me. Wait until after tonight, when you experience for yourself how different the master is. Then it will be much easier for me to explain to you."

Xiangyun urged her several times, but there was no response, so she just kept the matter in mind and would talk about it after tonight.

The makeup was done, and the next step was to get dressed. At this stage, Xiangyun blushed again.

"Sister Ping'er, why are you teasing me like the other sisters? This dress is so short and revealing, how can I wear it?"

Xiangyun was furious. She grabbed Ping'er's arm and shook it hard with a pouty mouth.

In front of her, what was propped up on the hanger was clearly a light purple new Chinese style evening dress. It was made of palace silk, smooth and close-fitting. There were not many embroideries on it, but the craftsmanship was outstanding, simple yet elegant.

The only problem is that it's a little short, with the hem only reaching the middle of the calf, and the sides are split wide, all the way to the base of the thigh, so the beauty is barely visible while walking.

Ping Erh saw this and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed:

"My dear girl, you are wrong about me."

"This is not my own decision, but the rule of this mansion."

"Not only you, but all the concubines in the mansion wear this sexy suit when entering the bridal chamber."

"Not only do you have to wear this dress, you also have to match it with socks and high heels. You can't miss either one."

"Our master is a lecher. These rules are specially made to make him happy."

"Young lady, you will understand later. To please the master, the concubines in this mansion will resort to all means, such as sleeping on the same bed, having the same mind as sisters, dancing, chanting, telling stories... everything is available."

"Young lady, you have to think of some interesting ways to attract the master to come here in the future. Otherwise, there are too many wolves and too little meat in the mansion, and it may take a long time to catch the master."

After Ping'er's reminder, Xiangyun remembered the "magic weapons" left to her by her sisters before. Looking at the tempting clothes, shoes and socks in front of her, she had a preliminary understanding of her master's "lust" for the first time, and she was speechless immediately.

Seeing that she agreed, Ping'er smiled and took off her clothes, helped her put them on, and then helped her walk around the room a few times in her high heels.

"These heels are very high. You need to keep your chest up, stomach in, and hips lifted when you walk. Practice this afternoon when you have time. You will wear them more often in the future, so you need to get used to them sooner."

Afterwards, Ping'er brought over a large box of jewelry and asked her to pick out some accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and only then was the preparation work completed.

After nightfall, the ceremony of taking a concubine officially began.

Xiangyun sat in a sedan chair, carried by someone, and first went around the mansion, and then was sent to the front of the hall. Ping'er helped her get off the sedan chair, stepped over the fire basin, stepped on the red carpet, and walked into the hall with lotus steps.

Master Zhan had already been sitting in the center of the hall, with several concubines sitting on his left and right. To the accompaniment of the female troupe in the mansion, Ping'er supported Xiangyun and walked forward slowly, bowing to Master Zhan.

"My name is Shi Xiangyun. I greet the master and all the sisters."

Xiu Yan waved her hand, and a maid brought a tray with a wine jug and wine glasses on it.

Xiangyun first toasted to Mr. Zhan, who drank it and said a few words of encouragement. Xiangyun then toasted to each of her sisters one by one.

Everyone took the wine glasses, drank them all, and then placed the gifts that had been prepared long ago on the tray as a gift.

The "magic weapons" given before were just for fun. The real gifts must be presentable.

Fortunately, Master Zhan has always been generous and has never stopped giving his women various gifts. Otherwise, with his frequency of taking concubines, the women would have gone bankrupt sooner or later.

After everything was settled, everyone dispersed. Master Zhan took Xiangyun's hand and went into the room.

This room was also carefully decorated, with big red wedding characters, red stickers and hangings, wedding candles and a veil. All the configurations were no different from the bride's bridal chamber.

Master Zhan took Xiangyun by the hand and bowed to heaven and earth, then he hugged her and sat on the bed.

Xiangyun looked shy, but still calm and confident. She came over to help Master Zhan undress, saying:
"Master, it's late, please enjoy your meal slowly."

Master Zhan kissed her hard on the face twice, then did not do anything. Instead, he knocked on the bed and shouted angrily:
"Why don't you come out quickly?"

Xiangyun was stunned and saw someone rolling out from under the bed. Xiangyun was startled and when she looked carefully, it was Third Sister You.

"Ah, Third Sister, why are you here?"

The third sister didn't care about being caught at all. Instead, she puffed up her cheeks and shouted angrily:
"The master is too brave. I am worried that Sister Xiangyun can't handle it, so I came over to help. Sister, you don't have to thank me!"

"Who should thank you?" Xiangyun's face turned red, she felt embarrassed and angry.

Both of her personalities are quite straightforward, so they usually have a good time playing with each other.

Normally, the two of them would just laugh and joke around without restraint, which would be fine, but who would have thought that on such a day, this girl would actually come here to make trouble in the bridal chamber, which immediately made Xiangyun very angry, and she came up and tried to push her out.

The third sister ignored her and knelt down, hugged Master Zhan's thighs, and cried with a drooling face:
"The master said that he wanted to take me as his concubine, but now you have taken my elder sister and the second sister and left me aside. This is really too much!"

"Master, why don't you take me in as well? I'll go home and talk to you about this, and let you try the mother-daughter cooperation based on the sister's unity."

Mr. Zhan was at a loss for words, he stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead lightly, then scolded her with a smile:
"You were too young that day, so I let you go. Since you are so impatient, I will take you in later."

"But don't mention the mother-daughter cooperation anymore, so you don't get beaten up by Old Lady You when you go back."

After hearing this, the third sister rolled her eyes and pouted:

"Do you think I don't know about the veil party that the master organized?"

"We are all family, so you don't have to pretend to be innocent in front of me."

"Sister Xiangyun doesn't know the benefits of the master, but I know it very well. Even if it is for the sake of filial piety, I have to help the master make this happen."

"..." Master Zhan was speechless for a while, "My goodness, how come you are as filial as Baoyu!"

"Forget it, forget it. Just do whatever you want with it!"

"But tonight is your sister Xiangyun's good day, so don't make trouble here."

After receiving the promise, the third sister turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she stopped, turned back and looked at Xiangyun with a smile, and said mischievously:

"Sister Xiangyun, do you really not need me to stay and help you?"

"I'm telling you, I've secretly seen the master visiting my elder sister and my second sister, and even the two of them together couldn't withstand the master's beatings. I'm afraid you can't handle it alone!"

Xiangyun was furious, so she reached out to pick up the pillow and hit her third sister with it in anger.

The third sister laughed, reached out to take it, threw it back, turned around and went out, closing the door behind her.

After seeing her third sister leave, Xiangyun put the pillow back to its original place with a red face and continued to help Master Zhan undress.

This time, Master Zhan no longer refused. He hugged Xiangyun and began to measure her body inch by inch.

Xiangyun only felt her whole body getting hot. She closed her eyes shyly, biting her lower lip tightly, and let Master Zhan carefully savor this top-quality delicacy.

Mr. Zhan was a man who was kind to women. He knew that Xiangyun would definitely not be able to bear it, so he was doubly gentle and considerate.

After the tearing pain, Xiangyun quickly began to understand why the family rules in the mansion were to be beaten with a stick.

This method really makes people love and hate it, and it can really make people suffer from death.

After several fierce battles, Xiangyun was finally defeated. She begged for mercy and agreed to all humiliating conditions. She regretted not keeping her third sister or Ping'er.
