The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Zhongju, a student who studies hard, is completely different from Zhongju, a dude who is ignorant and incompetent.

Although Jia Lian "turned his prodigal son back" in the past two years, in the eyes of many people, it was "unreasonable" for him to be elected.Encountering such a thing, many people speculate in their hearts how much money Jia Lian spent on fraud.Although I guessed it, who dared to say it?

Even Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had to bite the bullet and squeeze out smiling faces to entertain those who came to congratulate Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian.

As the rightful host, Jia Lian had just left Jia Mu's house, and was surrounded by several young maids and asked to go to Rongxi Hall.

Jia Lian walked along the corridor to the hall of Rongqing Hall, and saw Jia Min walking slowly, dressed in a dignified and dignified way, exchanged a few pleasantries, and asked the little girl to ask Jia Min to talk to Jia's mother before going out. When I went there, I saw Aunt You's sister-in-law wearing a blue dress of the same color coming out of a simple sedan chair.

"Sister-in-law Zhen is here." Jia Lian said with a smile.

"Hurry up and congratulate your second brother Lian." Youshi pushed Xichun.

Xichun, who was only a babbler, stood next to Youshi and bowed to Jia Lian, her mouth was vague, probably because Youshi gave her too much sugar, and a stream of crystal saliva flowed out of her mouth first.

Youshi hurriedly bent down to wipe it for her, and said embarrassingly: "Brother Lian, your sister Xichun is still young, so I laughed at you."

Jia Lian smiled, and asked Youshi and Xichun to go to Jia's mother's house. Before he could say anything, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law standing in front of the Chuihua Gate first apologized for Youshi and said, "Grandma Zhen wants to see the old lady and say congratulations before going back." Well, otherwise, why not go to Rongxi Hall to join in the fun?"

Jia Lian didn't feel pity for Youshi, but admired her a lot. Now that she can arrange for Jia Qiang to go and grab the only source of wealth in the sect, she can be regarded as a fan hero. She walked a few steps to the east before entering through the hallway. In the courtyard of Rongxi Hall, you can see that the banquets have been set up in the deer roof houses on both sides.

"Where are those female relatives?" Jia Lian asked the little girl next to him when he heard that the noise in the room was made up of men's voices.

Xiao Yao'er smiled and said, "All the female relatives have gone to Dongkuayuan, and the dozens of idle rooms over there are full of people."

"...the master over there has a lot of things, so people have to look carefully. No one is allowed to go into the house that shouldn't be allowed in." Jia Lian originally thought it was okay to celebrate, but now seeing the banquet held in such a big way at home, he felt again. It's too ostentatious.

"Second Master, Master invites you to come over." Quan Fu and Quan Xi came over and said, without waiting for Jia Lian's consent, they surrounded Jia Lian to the banquet set up under the main corridor of Rongxi Hall.

The atmosphere of delicious food and wine permeated the entire Rongxi hall. When Jia Lian arrived at the wine table, he saw Lin Ruhai, Feng Tang and Shi Ding brothers also came, Xue Pan, Feng Ziying, and Chen Yejun were all there.

When he arrived at the table, he was surrounded by Xue Pan and Feng Ziying. Xue Pan stuffed a glass of wine into Jia Lian's hand.

"Second brother Lian, if you don't make a song, it's enough. It's a blockbuster! Drink this cup quickly." Everyone booed.

Jia Lian glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and saw that Jia Zheng and Feng Tang were already drunk, but Jia She and Lin Ruhai were just drinking lightly, and when they wanted to drink, they heard Jia She and Jia Zhu say repeatedly : "Don't tell him to drink! He won't be able to read for a few days after being drunk."

Although Lin Ruhai knew the reason why Jia Lian was "ranked among the best", he also put on a gesture at this time: "Exactly, the exam will be held in March next year. If he gets drunk, he will have a headache for half a month, and it will take a lot of time."

Ge Kui also echoed a few words, seeing what Jia She and Lin Ruhai said, Xue Pan said loyally: "I'll drink it for Lian's second brother." So he took Jia Lian's wine glass and drank it, and surrounded him again Jia Lian sat next to the table to toast.

Jia Lian poured wine to Feng Tang and others one by one with the jug, and after toasting with others, he handed the wine glasses to Xue Pan, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and others. After toasting one by one, they saw Xue Pan and Feng Ziying The others were already drunk, so Jia Lian also retreated from the wine shop by sending them to Jinghuanzhai to rest, and watched Quan Fu and others send Xue Pan and Feng Ziying to his room to rest.

Seeing that the hangover soup had already been delivered here, he asked someone to serve them to drink the hangover soup with sober stones in their hands, and then leisurely carved peach pits while watching them go crazy with alcohol.

Everyone's wine was pretty good, only Xue Pan sat on the chair and grinned and teased Feng Ziying, and after being punched twice, he still couldn't stop laughing.

Seeing them all with their heads up and their legs crossed, Jia Lian agreed to their nonsense without saying a word, and suddenly heard Feng Ziying and Xue Pan standing up and calling sister-in-law, so she looked up and saw the mandarin ducks flushing red. Standing in front of the door with a face in a dilemma, he scolded Feng Ziying and Xue Pan: "What are you talking about, carefully ask Brother Liang to hear you."

Feng Ziying and Xue Pan didn't believe that Jia Lian would be clean and self-sufficient, so they suddenly saw a maidservant with an outstanding appearance and well-dressed clothes, and they deliberately made a fuss, and now they heard about Brother Liang, so they knew that they had misunderstood, so they resented sit down.

Xue Pan said angrily, "Second Brother Lian's house is too boring."

Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun thought so, so before they sobered up, the three of them supported each other and went to Rongxi Hall, passing by Yuanyang, and looked at her face intentionally.

"A group of obscene seeds who talk nonsense after being fed with cat urine!" Yuanyang cursed silently after the three of them walked away, and then walked over with a smile, "Second master, the old lady said there are too many people here, let us Zongli's was squeezed to the back instead. She came to ask the second master if he wanted to hold a banquet for a few days in a row?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "One day is enough to be lively. As for those in the Zongli, tell them to get together on August [-]th. If there is a banquet in succession, I won't be able to find time to visit the family in the same year. Seeing our family's grandeur, the poor people dare not come to our house."

Yuanyang nodded, and said with a smile: "Second master is more clear after all. The aunt just mentioned the second master's marriage to the old lady, and the old lady has asked the aunt to come forward. The old lady said that the second master only reads his own books. , Don’t ask these things, it doesn’t matter.”

Just speaking, I saw another youngest son say: "The ladies in the Dongkua courtyard want to see the second master, and the second wife sent the young one to invite the second master to come over."

Jia Lian said nothing, Yuanyang laughed and said, "You don't have to ask the second master to go. The old ladies and aunts are going there." After that, he led the youngest son back out.

Jia Lian sat quietly in the room alone, as if withdrawn from the hustle and bustle of Rongguo Mansion. When I visited the same year, I was tempted to fall into a deep trap by someone with a heart. I actually put down the peach pit at this moment, got up and went to study in the study in the front yard.

The feast ended in the evening. When Jia Mu and Jia She heard that Jia Lian was studying, they did not dare to celebrate lively. On the second day, although there were still people coming, Jia Mu and Jia She did not dare to come again detain a guest.

On the third day, the same year came to visit. Jia Lian exposed his shortcomings, so he invited Jia Zhu and Ge Kui to accompany the meeting, and told each other about the same year. They said goodbye and went back.

On the fourth day, Jia Lian took Ge Kui out and paid a visit to those rich families or those who lived in the inn in the same year. He joined Shi Guangzhu's team to marry the eldest daughter of the Zhen family.

Jia Lian led the servants to give way to the side of the road, and saw Shi Guangzhu happily riding on a horse wearing red flowers, and Feng Ziying, who was a bridesmaid, followed behind on a horse, and the rest of the Zhen family's dowry team was endless. There are dozens of them.

"As expected of the Zhen family, what a bold spirit." Zhao Tianliang sighed.

With a smile on Jia Lian's face, from the corner of his eye, he saw that everyone on the street was amazed by the wealth of the Zhen family, wondering how many people were bluffed by the Zhen family, and took money and handed it to them to put a stamp on them.

Fortunately, the weather was cooler, and the red wedding procession was rich and festive, just like a scene of prosperity, and did not disturb the people waiting on the roadside.

After the team had passed, Jia Lian was about to go to Xu's house again, when he saw a man in a half-worn satin shirt rushing over to bow to him.

"Excuse me, is this the second master Lian of the Rongguo Mansion? Is the second master Lian going to the Xu family?"

"Exactly. I don't know which Zun's house is?" Zhao Tianliang answered for Jia Lian.

The man said: "We are the Li family's in-laws, Fang's family. Today our wife took three girls to visit Xu's house, and encountered a team from the Shi family's Zhen family on the way. In order to avoid the welcoming team, the eighth girl's sedan chair went into the alley. Now that the wedding party has gone, the wife's sedan chair in front has long since disappeared. The little one came to ask, since we are going the same way, can our sedan chair go with the second master to Xu's house?"

Zhao Tiandong sneered and said: "It's sunny, you go to Xu's house by yourself, are you still afraid of being robbed?" Looking to the opposite street, he saw a blue and white sedan chair being carried over.

Zhao Tiandong's words were from Jia Lian's heart. At first, Jia Lian thought that the man had something important to do when he came over in a hurry, but now he just said that he would follow and was impatient to answer, but it didn't matter to him to ask Fang's family's sedan chair to follow him. Losing, he said to the man: "Let's ride faster, if you follow, follow."

The man agreed, and waved to the porter carrying the blue and white sedan chair to follow.

Jia Lian didn't say anything, and still rode ahead.

"Second Lord, what are the Fang family doing? It's not that they don't know the way, they just go there by themselves." Zhao Tianliang muttered.

Jia Lian said: "Never mind him, the road is not ours, whether we like to follow or not."

After Zhao Tianliang heard this, he didn't want to argue with a little girl, and he also felt that it was really inappropriate for the wife to take someone out and carelessly leave her on the street.

All the way to the front of Xu's house, only to see a few people coming out of the gate and said with a smile: "I also said that the eighth girl never comes, so this is here."

Jia Lian ignored Fang's affairs, and still led the people in with presents. When they reached the front yard, Li Bizhou, Xu Yuheng, and Xu Yujue came out to welcome them.

Xu Yujun laughed and said, "Second brother Lian is really unexpected, elder brother and third brother are expected to go to high school, and you are really surprising to go to high school." Saying this, he dragged Jia Lian to the backyard.

Seeing that Li Bizhou's family was still living in Xu's house, Jia Lian felt that Xu's family had handled it well and that the two families were not separated, so he followed them inward, saw that Xu Yuheng's footsteps were still a little vain, and laughed at him twice.

"Second Master Lian, our girl called the younger one to thank Second Master Lian." The man in half-worn satin came to bow to Jia Lian again.

Jia Lian looked back and saw the curtain of the sedan chair move, and said with a smile, "The street doesn't belong to me, but we just happened to walk together. What can we be thankful for?" See Xu Zhian.

Xu Yuheng didn't understand the reason, so he asked Jia Lian.

Jia Lian told the inexplicable story of the Fang family, and Li Bizhou, who was still wearing plain clothes because of his younger sister, immediately pointed at Jia Lian and said, "You're too messing around, so just ask them to come by themselves. You don't know that my mother is inexplicably I really like that Fangba girl, and before I left, I recognized Fangba girl as my goddaughter. Because your sister-in-law is caught in a dilemma, you gave her such a life today, I don’t know how many gossips will be caused.”

"Exactly, and it's not my family's female family member, why send her?" Xu Yuheng even echoed Li Bizhou.

"It should be nothing, right? Because thinking about it, it's still eight poles away from whether a man and a woman will marry each other, and besides, they are just following behind." Jia Lian laughed, seeing that Li Bizhou and Xu Yuheng, both of them, regarded the woman as a scourge. Thinking it was interesting, he went all the way into the inverted hall, only to see Xu Zhian sipping tea with a small purple sand pot in the inverted hall, squinting his eyes slightly to look at them.

After Jia Lian greeted him, Xu Zhian immediately asked: "Brother Lian, what's wrong with you in this exam?" He didn't believe that Jia Lian's ranking would be so high.

"Why did the old man say that? Brother Lian worked very hard. We sent someone to congratulate him five days ago. Isn't he still studying?" Xu Yuheng asked hurriedly.

Xu Zhi'an remained silent, sighed for a long time: "Forget it, I won't ask any more. Brother Lian, come and practice bow and arrow with me." After finishing speaking, he asked people to take the bow and arrow and prepare to release the pigeons.

Jia Lian was wearing wide-sleeved clothes, so he rolled up his sleeves with his hands, and then followed Xu Zhian to make fun of him. Fang shot an arrow, but saw Li Bizhou's wife, Fang Shi, wearing a long autumn-scented coat and silver-red kimono in a bun. The silk skirt came from the place where the pigeons were released.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Jia Lian put away the bow and arrow in his hand.

Li Bizhou turned the finger on his thumb to look at Fang, "Why are you here all of a sudden?"

"Who else can you come here for?" Fang looked at Jia Lian with narrowed eyes and a smile, "Brother Lian really did a good job."

Jia Lian smiled in surprise, "Why did sister-in-law say that?"

Fang said with a smile: "My mother kindly took the eighth younger sister to go to relatives, and met a red welcoming team on the way. She didn't know that her own sedan chair was cut off by the wedding team. If the eighth younger sister's sedan chair was on its own, It’s okay to come to Xu’s house, but the fourth brother personally sent it. Now it’s okay, my mother’s treatment of my eighth younger sister has been publicized, and now my mother is feeling ashamed.”

Fang's words contained guns and sticks. Jia Lian was startled, and twirling a feather arrow on his finger, he smiled and said, "I understand what sister-in-law means. Please tell my wife, sister-in-law, next time I don't dare anymore, seeing your eighth younger sister's sedan chair following behind, I'll just go another way."

A gust of wind passed under the shade of the trees, and the leaves that were not resistant to the autumn wind rustled down.

Fang Shi was originally aggressive, but now he lost all confidence, folded his arms, bit his lips and smiled, "I can't blame you for this, it's just that someone wants to use you to deal with my mother. You don't know that my mother just now Hearing that you sent her here, you immediately blushed in front of the old lady, and wanted to apologize to the eighth younger sister. After returning to Fang's house, the whole family heard that the mother had lost the eighth younger sister, and they had to trouble the fourth younger brother to send her to the house. When they came to Xu's house, countless people would poke mother in the back, saying that she was deliberately embarrassing the eighth younger sister and throwing her on the street, saying that the Fang family's face has been thrown at the Jia family."

Jia Lian saw that it was another dispute between the Fang family's heir and concubine, so he couldn't bear to worry about it. He still wanted to practice archery. He took two steps, and saw Fang's two steps forward: "Fourth brother, it's not that I'm spreading rumors behind my back for no reason. A slanderer. My eighth younger sister has an idea—she can always follow my mother whenever she goes out. Now that my mother lost her, she will take her out next time to make up for it. She has been weird for half a year Yes, I have to make some lotus poems and embroider some lotus flowers all day long, and there are two flowers on the handkerchief." Then, he showed Jia Lian two slender fingers.

Li Bizhou wondered: "Why is this matter brought up again? Throughout the ages, there have been many Ai Lian."

"There are many people who love lotus, but no one loves only two lotus flowers." Mrs. Fang looked at Li Bizhou seriously. , and after all, she was more inclined to Mrs. Fang, so she naturally felt that Fang Wenhui's behavior was weird, "You men are careless, and you don't know that those daughters like to borrow things to express love. When it comes to this, the fourth brother has his own sense of propriety. Make up your own mind, if you send her off like this today, an open-minded person will naturally have nothing to say; a person full of evil thoughts may have to invent something." After finishing speaking, he saw that he had delayed Jia Lian and Li Bizhou Xu Zhian got impatient with shooting pigeons, so he hurried to go.

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered: "Sure enough, there are no trivial matters in the inner house, and even trivial matters make my sister-in-law mobilize people like this."

"Don't think she's wordy, she's a teacher who never forgets the future. When you avoid those troubles, you'll know that your sister-in-law has benefited." Li Bizhou laughed.

Jia Lian said in his heart that he didn't intend to get involved in those troublesome things in the first place, and spent half a day shooting pigeons with Xu Zhi'an, and in the evening, he went to Mrs. Xu's yard to say goodbye to Mrs. Xu.

After staying there, I saw Mrs. Xu's three big rooms, only silverware was still placed in the open room, and the screens and curtains were mostly in plain colors, which was quite different from his previous two visits. Now Mrs. Xu is sitting on the lion-headed tiger-foot couch with Ai Lu pillows. She is leaning forward and talking to Mrs. Fang sitting on her left. Mrs. Fang is surrounded by three handsome girls. Mrs. Xu On the right side, there were two daughters-in-law, Xu Qingheng, the only girl from the Xu family who stayed in the capital, did not come out.

"Brother Lian is going home? The banquet is already ready, let's go back after eating." Mrs. Xu laughed.

Jia Lian said: "My second uncle and elder brother will check my homework at night. If I get drunk, I'm afraid they will take offense."

The old lady Xu nodded, folded her hands and said, "I'll turn around and tell your grandmother, tell her to tell your master not to force you like this, it's hard to break your body."

"Thank you, old lady, for loving me." Jia Lian backed away as she spoke.

"Brother Lian, there is a way to start a family first and then a career. When will the matter between you and Qingheng be settled?" Mrs. Fang asked suddenly, and then she glanced at Fang Wenhui.

"It should be in September." After Jia Lian finished speaking, he didn't want to get involved in the Fang family's strife, so he withdrew, went straight out, followed a daughter-in-law out of the courtyard gate of Mrs. Xu, and went to the house again. After walking east for a hundred paces, seeing that the daughter-in-law was busy, and seeing that he was not far from the outer corner door, he sent the daughter-in-law away, and then went forward to see a round-faced maid wearing a double-ringed bun coming out suddenly. According to Xu Qingheng's temperament, she didn't show up this time, she might have sent this servant girl, so she said with a smile: "What do you girls want to say to me?"

The little maid smiled and said, "How did Second Master Lian know that our girl had something to say to Second Master? Our girl said that she was very grateful to Second Master for saving her. If she hadn't met Second Master, she would always come to Xu's house or Fang's house." It's embarrassing." As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he choked up, "This time's matter may not be due to inattention, Madam always looks at our girl..."

Seeing that something was wrong, Jia Lian listened impatiently, and immediately moved forward.

The little girl didn't expect Jia Lian to leave just like that, she didn't dare to disturb others, so she took two quick steps to follow, "Second Master, please do draw your sword to help me with something, otherwise, our girl's life will be completely ruined."

The little girl's voice was so shrill that Jia Lian stopped curiously and asked her: "The last meeting was at Li's house, and everyone's maids were waiting by the girl's side, why did something happen to your girl, but you were nowhere to be seen? "Looking at the ignorant look of this little maid again, she is not wearing a skirt yet, only wearing a floral jacket and a pair of ivory plum blossom trousers, she looks innocent and innocent.

This sentence stopped the little maid for a while, and the little maid hesitated for a long time before she said: "The girl's handkerchief was blown away with the wind that day, I went to find the handkerchief for our girl."

Jia Lian asked again impatiently, went out of the corner gate, and led Zhao Tianliang to wait out of Xu's house, but he heard Zhao Tianliang muttering: "The wife in this room is too cruel, such a flowery girl, I want to promise it to a sick and consumptive ghost." Congratulations."

"Where did you hear that?" Jia Lian raised his head and looked up at the sky, wondering why the eighth girl in the house took him as a life-saving straw?Could it be that his reputation outside is that good?

Zhao Tianliang said with a smile: "The one who stopped us was the brother of Aunt Ba's aunt. The second master also knew the person that the eighth girl was going to marry. They came to ask the second master to tell that family not to choose Congratulations to Eighth Girl."

"If you don't pick her, which one should you pick? I went to stop her, but it seemed like I had some entanglement with those eight girls." Jia Lian said unhappily, and couldn't help feeling that today was very unlucky, and he was recognized without doing anything. As a life-saving straw.

Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong originally wanted to have an affair with Jia Lian, but seeing that he had no intention of it now, they had no choice but to do so.

Riding out of the main street where Xu's family is located, they suddenly heard someone calling Second Master, they stopped their horses, only to see that the person coming was the elder brother of Miss Fangba's aunt.

The man ran over sweating profusely, and was about to pull Jia Lian's reins, but was separated by Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong.

"I beg Second Master to deliver this letter to Mrs. Li in Jinling." The man said, handing a letter to Jia Lian.

"A letter asking for help from Jinling?" Jia Lian asked.

The man nodded again and again, and said with a mournful face: "Now I can only ask the second master, please be merciful and merciful to save the girl's life. Earlier, the second master could even save the young master of the Liu family who had a problem with the second master, let alone What about the little girl who has no grievances or enmities with the second master." As he spoke, he immediately knelt down in front of Jia Lian's horse.

At this time, it was approaching sunset, and there were only a few pedestrians on the street. Jia Lian turned to look at the Xu family, and saw that the Xu family had disappeared. Yes, she has already asked for it.

"Let's go." Jia Lian took the reins and wanted to go, ignoring the man.

"Second master, the girl said that you are different from other men and will not look down on her, so she begged the younger one to beg the second master. The second master is afraid of causing temporary trouble, but our girl will be ruined for the rest of her life. What?" The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Jia Lian said, "I'll give you some money. You can go to Jinling to deliver a letter to Mrs. Li right now."

The man was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "As soon as the young one leaves, the wife will ask someone to sue the government, the young one is a fugitive slave."

"You don't want to cause trouble yourself, so you still talk about me?" Jia Lian sneered, seeing that the man was silent, he led Zhao Tianliang and others forward.

The sun was setting and the autumn wind was blowing slowly. Jia Lian lowered his head slightly, feeling that the wind on the road was not clean, and then said to Zhao Tianliang: "You go to Xu's house again, and ask someone to pass it on to Grandma Li, and ask her to persuade you Advise her mother, what's the benefit of marrying the eighth girl to a tuberculosis ghost? It's better to marry her to a well-matched family. In this way, others will not be able to accuse Mrs. Li of treating the concubine's children harshly. Otherwise, the whole world will know Well, the limelight of Xu Li's family has just passed, and that of Fang's family has risen again. If Grandma Li asks, you can tell her everything that happened to us during the day, we have nothing to hide."

Zhao Tianliang saw that Jia Lian ignored the man first but turned around to try to persuade Fang Shi, so he quickly agreed and said with a smile: "No wonder people come to beg Second Master, because they have seen the second master's knife and tofu heart."

"Tofu heart?" Jia Lian was taken aback, then crawled on the horse and laughed, "I have never been praised like this in my two lifetimes."

Everyone just laughed along with him, no one paid attention to the sentence of two lifetimes.
