The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

The women talked and laughed tenderly, but the men's conversations were somewhat dull.

Although Xu Yuju was lively, but the timing was wrong, so he also fell silent.

So did Xu Yuheng.

Xu Zhian was very pleased with Jia Lian's high ambitions before, but now that Jia Lian has really become his grandson-in-law, he must have felt that Jia Lian's plans were too big, and that Xu Qingheng would inevitably experience ups and downs following Jia Lian in the future, so he also felt that it was necessary to persuade Jia Lian to listen He said, relying on the power of the Xu family and enjoying the honor with Xu Qingheng for the rest of their lives.Thinking this way in his heart, he couldn't open his mouth. After all, Jia Lian has already entered the eyes of today's nobles, and it is not easy to get out of his body.

"I don't have any other words to give you today, but I only want to give you one sentence. To accompany you is like accompanying a tiger." Xu Zhi'an, the old Shangshu, pondered for a long time, and finally spit out such a sentence.

"Thank you, old lady, for your advice." Jia Lian humbly agreed.

"...Let's take Qingheng home early, I don't know how many days you newlywed Yaner can be with you." Xu Zhian sighed.

"Yes."

"If you have an accident..." Xu Zhian couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

Jia Lian was silent. If he was asked to give up his previous plan for Xu Qingheng at this time, it would definitely not be possible. Now he can only stay away from her. If he is too close to her, if he travels far away, she will not would be too sad.

"Hey. Let's go back earlier." Xu Zhi'an gave a wry smile. Apart from knowing that Jia Lian was going to Guangdong, he didn't know much about other things, so he had nowhere to start asking. After lunch, go and tell your grandmother that I am afraid that her old lady will meddle in Jia's affairs, and I will send Qingheng and his wife away."

It is a moment to get together for a while.

"Yes." Xu Yuju agreed with a smile.

Several people got together and talked about what vacancies Li Bizhou and Xu Yuheng wanted to fill, and how the governor of Guangdong was. In case, Xu Qingheng was afraid of becoming a widow, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, when he reached the door of Mrs. Xu's room, he heard Xu Qingheng's giggling laughter in the room. Lifting the curtain and going in, seeing Xu Qingheng leaning against the old lady Xu's arms and talking as if he was young, he said in embarrassment: "Old lady, the old lady has spoken, he said to call fourth brother and Qingheng to come back immediately go home."

"But what happened to Jia's family?" Xu Qingheng asked hurriedly.

The old lady Xu was annoyed that Xu Qingheng only went out, her mind was full of the Jia family's affairs, and she made a gesture to tap her on the forehead.

"It's not about the Jia family, old lady..." Xu Yuju deliberately glanced at the old lady Xu, and then forgot about Xu Qingheng's companion.

"Are you afraid that I will instigate others? Hmph, you are underestimating me too much." Mrs. Xu sneered, but she saw that Xu Yujuan's expression was a little dazed, and she thought that it was only natural for her to return home in three dynasties. Xu Zhian made Jia Lian and Xu Qingheng return immediately. Naturally, she has deep meaning, so she didn't bother, pushed Xu Qingheng out of her arms, scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "Jia's daughter-in-law, go back to your house."

As soon as the words "return to your home" came out, Xu Qingheng's eyes turned red and he laughed for a long time, but now he shed a few tears, thinking that Jia Lian will go to a foreign post in the future, and she will see her every now and then Mrs. Xu, seeing Jia Lian was not so easy, so she got up and straightened her clothes, bowed to Mrs. Xu, followed Xu Yujue out, walked a few steps, turned around, wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at him. go out.

The man Xu Yuju naturally didn't understand Xu Qingheng's daughter's thoughts, coughed, and protected her into the sedan chair, led the sedan chair all the way outside, and when he reached the front yard, he saw Jia Lian was already waiting under the porch, so he rushed to Jia Lian. Clasping hands, he watched the group of them go out.

Xu Qingheng was puzzled why he had to leave again so quickly, and wondered who was talking so much that Jia Lian could not be seen by Xu Zhian, so on the way, he ordered the entourage who followed the sedan chair to invite Jia Lian to come and talk.

After a while, Jia Lian beckoned and drove the horse over, took the reins and told the horse to follow the sedan chair slowly, saw that the curtain of the sedan chair was slightly opened, looked inside, and saw Xu Qingheng's small and clean mandible, He smiled and said, "I don't know what orders grandma has?"

Xu Qingheng was afraid of being seen by passers-by on the road, so he lowered the curtain a little more, and asked softly, "Why did grandfather send us out so early?"

"The old lady is afraid that we drank too much tea from Xu's family." Jia Lian chuckled lightly.

Seeing that he was unwilling to tell the truth, Xu Qingheng withdrew his hands and put down the curtain, speculating in his heart all the way, thinking about it, and then realized that Xu Zhi'an was thinking that Jia Lian was going to take a job abroad, so he wanted to call them husband and wife It's a pity that Xu Zhi'an didn't know, they went back to Jia's mansion early, and Jia Lian must rush to Jinghuanzhai to catch up on sleep.Thinking of this, I felt a little unhappy, so I lifted the curtain again, and saw that Jia Lian had not left, and at this time he still made the horse walk slowly beside the sedan chair, seeing him in green and white, as if he had no home and no tiredness. Youxia'er is generally free and easy, so he chuckled lightly and said: "When I get home, what is fourth brother going to do?"

Jia Lian smiled and pointed to her eyes, telling Xu Qingheng to look at the invisible dark brown.

Xu Qingheng chuckled, "You deserve it, who told you not to sleep at night!" As soon as the words came out, a suppressed laughter was faintly heard, and she immediately blushed and put down the curtain, spat in her heart, regretting the order Words that people misunderstand.

There was nothing to say all the way, when they entered the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian went straight to Jinghuanzhai to catch up on sleep, Xu Qingheng led the servants back to the backyard, and entered the backyard, because the nanny who had just brought seemed to be wanting in front of Old Madam Xu. He stopped talking, so he had to beat them again.

After that, Xu Qingheng sat in the east room with his hair stretched out in a daze for a while, tried his best to read the book, but after a while, his thoughts flew to Jia Lian, thinking that he really wanted to stay up with her at night, and it would be impossible to catch up on sleep during the day. ?Since when is such a day?

Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard the report from the little girl outside the door: "Grandma, the eldest girl is here."

Xu Qingheng lightly brushed his temple hair, he didn't sit up, he still held the book and leaned on the Linghua pillow on the kang, saw Yingchun opened the curtain and came in, he smiled and said: "Sister, don't you take a nap?"

Yingchun said with a smile: "I was going to rest, but Baoyu went back to the east, so the girl Xiangyun came to me and made trouble for a while. Later, the little girl at the front door came in with a message, and it was for my sister-in-law. I hurriedly sent it over." Saying that, seeing Xu Qingheng sit up straight, he took two quick steps forward and delivered the delicate bronzing invitation to Xu Qingheng's hand.

Xu Qingheng hurriedly accepted the post. Originally, he thought it was Jia Lian's family's relatives inviting her as a bride. When he opened the post, he saw that it was the name of General Shenwu's Mansion. Looking closer, it was Feng Ziying's wife. As the host, the Yue family invited Xu Qingheng, Chen Yejun and other children's wives to gather in her courtyard.

Xu Qingheng understood who Jia Liansu was friends with in the daytime, and knew that since Yue Shi invited her, she must have a meeting, so he closed the post and said to Yingchun with a smile: "Understood, on that day you Take it easy too, and go out with me."

"Hey." Yingchun agreed, and without waiting for Xu Qingheng to ask, he said: "Although the brother of the Feng family has not sworn sworn brothers, the friendship between them is similar to that of sworn brothers, so we don't have to be too cautious in the past. It's just that I just took a look, and the big sister over there is also going, so it's not good to favor one another and make her gossip, so this is a gift..."

"Is there a rule?" Xu Qingheng weighed in his heart what gifts this woman would send and where they would get them from, so she heard what Yingchun said, so she pinched the post and looked at her.

Yingchun hurriedly nodded, sat next to the edge of the kang, pointed to the east and said, "Sister-in-law Feng's sister-in-law also knows that she is not a person who cares about those three melons and two dates. It is the big sister on the east side, when she was a girl at home The original is also generous, but in the past two years, I have become more and more careful. If the things given to other sister-in-laws are different from those sent to the Chen family, they will be the same price, and she has something to say. Therefore, earlier, my brother would There are also rules on how much to give and how much to return."

"It's easy to do that." Xu Qingheng nodded, and then said with a sudden smile: "So, we don't have to worry about anything, we just wait until that day to go out."

Yingchun smiled and nodded, Xiangyun was too young, Tanchun didn't come here often, she was lonely at home, and rarely went out, so she couldn't help being a little excited.

"Send someone to inform your brother, so that he won't do anything else that day." Xu Qingheng paused, thinking that if Jia Lian was free that day, he would still need him to send him off.

Upon hearing the words, Yingchun immediately asked Siqi to send a little girl to spread the word, and then dutifully told the old man in Zongli who invited the couple to have tea and dinner one day. Except for today, relatives and friends will invite you every day in the future, even You Shina will invite Xu Qingheng to sit down for a while.

Xu Qingheng pondered what should be done, nodded and agreed while listening to Yingchun's words, suddenly saw Yingchun's girl Siqi come in wearing a blue cloth floral dress, and then whispered a few words in Yingchun's ear, after that, Yingchun's face changed It has changed slightly.

"But what happened?" Xu Qingheng asked hurriedly.

"...Yuanyang just heard from Hu Po that Aunt Zhao came over today and whispered in the old lady's ear that she probably has one. Please help her to block the second wife." Yingchun glanced worriedly. A glance at Xu Qingheng's stomach.

Xu Qingheng said with a smile: "We don't need to spend money or effort on the birth of the second master on the left, it's just a matter of saying congratulations when the child is born."

Seeing that Xu Qingheng was so open-minded, Siqi hurriedly said in a low voice: "Grandma, if there is another male over there, it will make our side even more desolate and desolate. The third master Huan is getting bigger, and Brother Lang can also give it to him." Greetings, old lady, although the uncle is sick and sick, he is a man after all, not to mention that there is a smart second master Bao..."

After all, there are few men in Rongxitang and lack of confidence.

Xu Qingheng was stunned for a moment, then touched his belly subconsciously, and then saw Miss Qianjin Yingchun and Maid Siqi all looked at her expectantly, suddenly it felt like a heavy burden fell on her shoulders, and she understood Rongxi more and more. The importance of having children on the church side.Although Jia Lian is capable and able to hold his ground, Jia Lian has no children for a day, and Rongxitang's side is somewhat lacking in confidence, which makes people feel weak in succession.

"Everything, let fate." Xu Qingheng sighed softly.

The sister-in-law Yingchun didn't feel comfortable talking deeply, so she rambled a few more words, and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, she said to Xu Qingheng with a smile: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and change your clothes and go to the old lady's place, the second wife and the eldest sister-in-law are just fine Come on, the old lady is deserted."

Xu Qingheng nodded absent-mindedly, and still sat on the couch and asked the maid to change her clothes. After changing the clothes, Jia Lian did not come around, thinking that Jia Lian would not eat with Jia Mu on weekdays, so she took her maid Wen Lan with her. Wen Yu went to Jia Mu's place, because Xu Qingheng showed his power yesterday, and Jia Mu didn't dare to show her power when she set the rules for the first time, so Xu Qingheng took care of this meal easily.

After returning from Jiamu's place, and setting out the meal in the east room, Jia Lian came over in a change of old silk clothes.

Jia Lian washed his hands in the basin that Wen Lan was holding, sat down on the kang and asked Xu Qingheng to sit down as well, and said with a smile, "Is there something wrong with the old lady?"

Xu Qingheng got up to prepare the dishes for Jia Lian, and saw that the dishes on the table were common home-cooked dishes, which were even simpler than those of Xu's family. , I went over, and only said that Xiangyun is not a serious sister-in-law, so I don't need to serve her, but only serve her and Yingchun, and I am afraid that Xiangyun will be cold, so tell me to be more comfortable, don't restrict yourself too much."

"That's good." Jia Lian smiled, put down her chopsticks suddenly and cupped her hands to Xu Qingheng, "I have to say sorry to grandma, I originally agreed to invite grandma to tea tomorrow, but I don't want to get away tomorrow because I have something to do." Get out."

"Fourth brother is out of his mind, and he is not in a hurry." Xu Qingheng smiled, holding chopsticks in his hand and smiled at Jia Lian: "Fourth brother has a grandma in one bite, I don't know, but I wonder how I got so big grandson."

Jia Lian was taken aback, laughed loudly, and remembering Yue's invitation, he said to Xu Qingheng: "If you see the eldest sister in the east, you can see her twinkle in her eyes, or ask her about her husband's house by knocking on the side drum, then take her with you." Go to a place where no one is around, and whisper to her to tell her not to worry too much, and say that the elder brother-in-law is going to keep the outer house to win over people to go to the future. If she is busy, it will damage her husband's reputation and future. She asked again , You just say that Brother Zhu also knows about this matter." This matter must be prevented before it happens, otherwise Yuan Chun may use some means.

Hearing the word "outside house", Xu Qingheng's eyes widened suddenly, thinking of the Xiaohuazhi Lane mentioned by Jia Lian earlier, he felt that he must be doing something bad if he kept the outside house, and when he wanted to ask more questions, Jia Lian didn't mention it anymore. up.I just felt that I should tell Jia Lian about Aunt Zhao's happiness, so I said carefully, "I heard that Aunt Zhao has one."

"Second uncle's treasured sword is not old yet." Jia Lian said indifferently.

Seeing Jia Lian's attitude, Xu Qingheng had to put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "Today, Yingchun is worried, even playing chess..., if..."

Jia Lian paused while holding the chopsticks, thought for a while, then put down the chopsticks, folded his sleeves and said to Xu Qingheng solemnly: "I've been thinking about this for two days, and I'm about to tell you about it."

"What's the matter?" Xu Qingheng looked at Jia Lian with piercing eyes.

Jia Lian hesitated for a while, then said: "I will go here, maybe a few months, maybe years before I can come back. Therefore, I think that if I leave a son and a half behind, you and your mother will have a hard time in the wind and frost. Today, it’s better to take precautions before they happen, and the matter of having children will be mentioned when I come back. You just change places and be a carefree little girl for a few more years.”

Xu Qingheng was stunned, and suddenly understood that Jia Lian was indifferent before, because she was afraid that she would become pregnant. Although she understood Jia Lian's meaning, she was inexplicably lost in her heart, shed tears unconsciously, and said: "You only think like this, Why don't you think that if you don't come back, I will be alone in Jia's house..."

He slipped his tongue and said something unlucky, spit hastily, and looked at Jia Lian with tears in his eyes.

Jia Lian propped herself on the small dining table with one hand, and handed a twisted silk handkerchief to Xu Qingheng in the other, "It's useless to think about the fact that I won't come back. All I can think about is what to do when I come back. I want my child to be carefree and carefree." Instead of being born to be stared at by a bunch of hungry wolf eyes, if you don't notice for a while, he will make people weak and sick, or..."

"Use the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" Xu Qinghenghui replied with a serious heart, seeing Jia Lian nodding and ruthlessly pulling off the handkerchief in his hand, she couldn't help feeling conflicted, even though she had a mother's family, she could often go back to her mother's house , but you must never raise children in your natal family. If you are so afraid, you will have to keep your heart in your throat at all times, and beware of the whole family; Live like a year?

"Listen to me, the future will be long, and the future will be long."

"I know, you're always right." Xu Qingheng gritted his teeth resentfully, no longer in the mood to eat, and didn't care about the ways of being a wife. He threw away the handkerchief in his hand, and lazily got up and lay down in the west room. go.

Jia Lian ate alone, then went to the study outside the front yard to deal with some things, returned to the backyard at [-] o'clock, and vaguely heard Xu Qingheng talking before entering the room, and when he went in, saw Xu Qingheng pretending to be asleep face in, and said silently He took off his outer clothes and lay down beside the bed, and after a while he heard that her breath had stabilized, so he turned over and thought about the next day's affairs.

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Lian went out to inquire about foreign affairs, Xu Qingheng went to ask Jia Mu's house, asked about Jia Amnesty's decoction, and then led Yingchun in a sedan chair to the house of the sister-in-law in Zongli as a guest.

After more than half a month like this, Jia Lian went out early and returned late every day, Xu Qingheng was also busy seeing the female family members of Jia's family, Feng Ziying and others, and the two met each other every day, but they only exchanged a few words of pleasantries before they parted.

One day, Jia Lian was listening to Lin Zhixiao's account report in the study of the outer courtyard, when he suddenly saw Zhao Tianliang rushing in in a panic, suppressing his excitement.

"Second Master, Prince Zhongshun has an invitation."

"But there are clues?" Jia Lian was stunned.

The corners of Zhao Tianliang's mouth curled up, and he said with a smile: "It should be, the second master didn't know how furious the person who came to pass the message from the Zhongshun Palace is! Seeing how angry he is, I know that the second master's affairs are eight or nine times inseparable!"

Lin Zhixiao didn't know what Jia Lian's business was about, so he didn't dare to delay and said, "Second Master, hurry up and change your clothes. Is Second Master riding a horse or a sedan chair?"

"My lord has an invitation, it's a matter of utmost urgency, so of course I have to ride a horse." Everything is ready, only Dong Feng is in need. Previously, Jia Lian was afraid that the loyal and obedient prince would be too capable, so he really found a fat job for him. Seeing that Dong Feng finally came, He didn't change his clothes, he immediately lifted his skirt, and led Zhao Tianliang to rush out. When he arrived at the door, he saw the man from Zhongshun's mansion with a mournful face, but he didn't dare to show any joy. Go to Zhongshun Palace.

Arriving at the gate of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, it seemed that Prince Zhongshun couldn't hold back his face, and now he sent Chang Shi to meet Jia Lian outside the gate in person.

Jia Lian followed the long history to go inward, and entered the small garden where he was loyal to the prince to play when he came back last time. At the door, he saw Qi Guan coming out crying, wiping his tears.

Seeing Jia Lian coming, Qi Guan said in a low voice with some shame: "Second Master, hurry up, the prince is waiting for you." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Jia Lian thought that Prince Zhongshun was furious, and followed Chang Shi in, and sure enough, he saw Prince Zhongshun standing in the pavilion behind a cluster of Lingbi stones without saying a word.

"Greetings to the prince." Jia Lian bowed.

Prince Zhongshun softened his face, gave Jia Lian a hand in embarrassment, then slammed his fist on the red lacquered pillar, and said with a sneer, "It's rare for you to beg me once, and the matter was already in order, who would have killed someone on the way?" Cheng Yaojin, in the end, he fell short!"

"My lord, what is it that made my lord so angry?" Jia Lian pretended not to know.

Prince Zhongshun was dressed in a bright purple official robe, as if he had just come down from the court. After his chest heaved and fell, he pretended to be ashamed and said: "What else can it be? It's just that you, a junior, begged me. The king wants to be a favor. I had already found a very good future for you, but I didn't want you to fall into the eyes of the King of Beijing. Now he is obstructing it, and the king tried his best to protect you, so I got you to Guangdong, otherwise I don’t know where you will be dispatched!”

"Is there room for change in this matter? This junior really can't think of where the king of Beijing can hate him so much!" Jia Lian said hastily.

"Hmph! Thanks to my dedication to you, I don't want things to be ruined by your hands! You are so big, how can you not know the truth that you would rather offend a gentleman than a villain?" Prince Zhongshun sneered confidently, absolutely not He admitted that his ability was limited, and only said that Jia Lian didn't know how to behave and offended people who shouldn't be offended.

"I don't know what kind of future the lord wants to find for the younger generation? Now that he has gone to Guangdong, what kind of future is it?" Jia Lian was ashamed but impatient to know about himself. Seeing Qi Guan coming over with a cup of tea, He hurriedly took the teacup and handed it to Lord Zhongshun with both hands.

Prince Zhongshun intentionally refused to accept it, and said in a hurry: "Originally, this matter is already guaranteed. If you weren't troublesome, how could it make me feel ashamed together with you?"

"Yes, yes." Jia Lian still bowed his head and served the tea.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't dare to complain, Lord Zhongshun took the tea, took a sip, and handed it to Qi Guan to put it on the table, then said slowly: "But don't worry, Guangdong is far away, but it's also in my king's house. In the hands of people, this king took some effort to transfer you to Hong Helong, the governor of Guangdong. Although you are only a small local magistrate now, you are young and have your own family to take care of you. Naturally, your future prospects are limitless. "

Jia Lian was like a concubine in mourning, and now he heard Prince Zhongshun's words, he was both sad and happy: "With the words of the prince, the younger generation will naturally not worry about the future. It's just that the younger generation has just got married and is about to leave Beijing. I'm afraid..."

"How can you love your sons and daughters at such a young age, and the hero is short of breath?" Prince Zhongshun didn't think so, and then sneered: "It's a good thing that this king wrote a handwritten letter for you to guide you..."

Jia Lian quickly expressed gratitude: "Thank you, my lord, for your hard work for the younger generation. The younger generation is very grateful for your great kindness!"

Prince Zhongshun stroked his beard in satisfaction, then sat down on the grand teacher's chair covered with a tiger skin mattress in the pavilion, first handed a recommendation letter to Jia Lian, and after Jia Lian carefully put it into the lapel, he said: "That Hong Since Helong is my king's man, he naturally treats you like his own nephew. It's just that Kuang Yanbing, the governor of Guangxi on the west side, you need to be on guard against him. That guy has always been vengeful, sinister and vicious, and he doesn't know how to take care of himself. Things, I prefer to find out the right and wrong of others, it is not easy to get along with, you are young, when you encounter his personnel, you would rather endure the momentary anger than contradict him."

Jia Lian nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your suggestion."

Prince Zhongshun felt relieved, put his hand on the tiger's head on the handle, and smiled at Qi Guan: "Ask someone to make seven or eight kinds of wine and dishes, and I will invite Brother Lian to eat two."

Jia Lian hastily declined and said with a smile: "Don't dare to bother the lord, lord, I'm afraid the Xu family doesn't know about this, and the younger generation needs to tell one or two, lest old Shangshu Xu be reckless and offend the King of Beijing again."

"Go, wait until the day you leave the capital, I will practice it with you!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness." Jia Lian cupped his hands again and again, and when he was about to leave, he turned around reluctantly, "I don't know what the lord's original plan for the younger generation is..."

"The household department is rich and deficient." Prince Zhongshun said concisely but with a hint of color.

Jia Lian pretended to be heartbroken and mourned, so he said goodbye and went out. When he reached the door, he thanked Chang Shi three times, and then rode straight to Xu's house.

When they arrived at Xu's house, because Xu Zhi'an and Xu Yuheng's ancestors and grandchildren were not there, Jia Lian only left a few words, then rode to Lantai Temple again, entered Lantai Temple through the back door, entered the small courtyard of Lin's family, first saw Daiyu coming to greet her Xu Qingheng was well, and after entering the room, he could smell the scent of medicine from the Lin family that lingered all year round.

Lin Ruhai was half lying on the bed resting his mind, and Jia Min was sitting by the bed holding a scroll.

After Jia Lian paid his respects, Jia Min asked Jia Lian enviously, "I heard that Aunt Zhao is moving again?"

Jia Lian nodded.

Jia Min sighed, and was about to persuade Lin Ruhai with a few words, but seeing Lin Ruhai coughing unceasingly, she swallowed the words back into her stomach, sighing secretly that if Lin Ruhai was strong enough, Daiyu wouldn't be the only one of them now.

"Uncle, this is a recommendation letter written by Prince Zhongshun for his nephew." Jia Lian said, took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai carefully read the words in the letter, and saw that it was nothing more than orders for Hong Helong to take care of Jia Lian, etc., so he smiled, handed the letter to Jia Lian, coughed twice and said, "So, you will leave in half a month. It's Beijing."

Jia Lian nodded.

Lin Ruhai sighed, "Did you tell your wife?" Unknowingly glanced at Jia Min, "Time is short, go home and comfort her."

"Yes." Jia Lian hurriedly agreed, recalling how she hadn't talked to Xu Qingheng during the past half a month, she felt ashamed, and seeing Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's affectionate appearance as a husband and wife, she slowly backed out. The door, seeing the little girl Xueyan coming, said to Xueyan: "Tell your girl, and tell her to go back to Rongguo Mansion often to talk to my second grandma when she is free."

"Yes."

Jia Lian nodded, and went out as before. On the road, he sent his close servants to talk to Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Xue Pan. We waited in the small courtyard to the north of Jinghuanzhai.

It was almost evening at this time, and the red lotus planted in the water tank in the small courtyard was blooming.

Feng Ziying was dressed in purple and wore a sword at his waist, while Xue Pan was dressed in a red brocade embroidered suit, pinching his waist and pointing at Chen Yejun with a smile.

Probably because what he did went very smoothly, Chen Yejun also became very energetic at this moment.

"Everyone, I'm late." Jia Lian cupped his hands repeatedly when he saw the backs of the three people from a distance.

"It's better to come early than coincidentally. I just arrived." Feng Ziying smiled, and when Jia Lian approached, he put his hand on Jia Lian's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "The first one just received Kou Guan." letter, now he is waiting for the opportunity, and the opportunity needs to be determined by you."

"He has Xianglian to meet him in the south. When I go south, I will meet him before I mention it." Jia Lian's eyes moved slightly. Jia Yucun knew Kou Guan. After Kou Guan fled, Kou Guan had to help him in this matter.

Xue Pan didn't know anything about Guan Kou. Although he realized that Jia Lian had something to hide from him, he was always careless and didn't ask questions. He only waited for Feng Ziying to say something, and said, "Second brother Lian has done it here, and I have to do it on my side." Hurry up to do business before Lian's second brother."

"I don't know if the eldest sister will rest assured that you leave Beijing in a hurry?" Jia Lian said.

Xue Pan smiled boldly and said: "She wished that I would stay in the shop to support the family every day, and Mom and Baochai wished that I would make progress and make them leave uncle's house early."

"That's good." Jia Lian nodded.

Chen Yejun laughed and said: "It's really God's help that everything goes smoothly. I was always on guard against your eldest sister, because I was afraid that she would be so talented and smart that she would see the flaws. Who would have thought that she is so reasonable now, and a few days ago she even took out some The money came to tell me to treat my colleagues to a drink."

Jia Lian saw that Chen Yejun didn't know that Yuan Chun had asked Xu Qingheng behind his back, so he was too lazy to talk to him in detail, and said: "Now what the four of us are doing, it's better to keep it a little secret, if the family members know, I don’t know how much more right and wrong will be made.”

The other three followed suit and nodded.The four discussed what to do in the future. Seeing the setting sun, Feng Ziying pushed Jia Lian and said with a smile, "It's all over after today's gathering. When you leave the capital in the future, we don't know where we are. The future will be a blessing." Woe, the four of you and I must also advance and retreat together!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian immediately ordered Quanfu and Quanlu to fetch the best daughter Honglai, instead of using fine porcelain wine cups, they just ordered them to bring a sea bowl as big as a fist, poured four bowls full, and the four touched each other. Bowl, without saying anything, he drank the wine in one gulp, and then Jia Lian sent the other three out.

After Feng Ziying left, Jia Lian still went to change clothes in the small courtyard in the south, and after having a cup of tea, he walked slowly to the backyard, thinking about how to talk to Xu Qingheng, walked along the alley, and entered the courtyard Suddenly, a black puppy with a naive expression like a bear ran past him.

After Jia Lian was startled, seeing the dog running to the feet of the maid Wen Lan to act like a spoiled child, she laughed and said, "When did this dog come here?"

Wen Lan bowed to restrain the dog, and said with a smile: "It was raised by Grandma You's family. Grandma saw that she liked it, so she hugged it. It has been raised in the yard for more than ten days."

Jia Lian coughed, thinking that after more than ten days, he never noticed it. He entered the main room along the colorful gravel on the ground, opened the curtain, and met Xu Qingheng who was about to go out to call the dog. Time looked at each other.

"Fourth brother is back." Xu Qingheng stepped aside without embarrassment, and invited Jia Lian into the room. Just as he was about to call Wen Lan to lead the dog to the sitting room, he heard Jia Lian say in a low voice, "I will leave Beijing in seven days. For a while, I didn't care about the dog, and hurriedly lowered the curtain to follow in. Seeing Jia Lian smelling of alcohol, his tall body pushed the leading pillow on the kang in the east and lay down obliquely, and hurriedly followed.

"Appointment?" Xu Qingheng asked nervously.

"But it will come down in one or two days, and it will start in about seven days."

Xu Qingheng clenched his fists, sat on the chair on the kang in a daze, forced a smile for a long time and said: "You can go ahead without worries, others can say that you regret teaching your husband to find a prince, but I... "

"Why think about it?" Jia Lian sat up and handed her hand to Xu Qingheng to lead her to sit down together. Seeing that she didn't pick her up, she said, "Even if you don't want to, I will leave." Jia Lian Persisting determinedly, he moved his fingers, and seeing that Xu Qingheng still didn't answer, he took his hand back.

"...What about after you come back?" Xu Qingheng asked, "At least let me understand what will happen when you come back?"

"When I come back..." Jia Lian couldn't help but frowned, thinking, "When I come back, I'm afraid there will be countless messes to clean up."

Seeing Jia Lian's expression, Xu Qingheng immediately understood that his thoughts had turned to Qiancheng's official position again, and immediately puffed up his face, and after a long time, he said to himself: "It turns out that when you come back, it will be different from now, and it's the same if you don't want to." To."

One sentence pulled Jia Lian's thoughts back, and Jia Lian smiled immediately: "So you are thinking about this, how could it be the same, when I come back, I will have children with you, and we two will live a good life."

"...Just keep a child." Xu Qingheng said with hope, the long night was long, and it was hard to sleep alone, so it would be better to keep a child by your side.

Jia Lian's face turned cold immediately, "Don't mention this, it's no joke, one carelessness ruins the child's life, or the father is not around, and develops a cowardly and timid temperament, what will it look like?"

Xu Qingheng wanted to argue a few words, but felt that since Jia Lian refused to give birth, what could she do to him?Thinking full of desolation, it's been a long time to see people's hearts. Originally, Jia Lian's future was the first in his heart, and she was second. Now even the child who has no shadow is ranked in front of her.

At night, he washed up in a trance and went to bed. After lying on the bed tightly covered with the quilt, Xu Qingheng unconsciously turned his head to look at Jia Lian. Turning her head away, when she felt that Jia Lian put her hand on her waist, she couldn't help reaching out to push his hand away, and when Jia Lian got closer, she simply ignored him.

"I know what you're thinking at the moment." Jia Lian hugged Xu Qingheng with one arm, and still rested the other hand on the back of his head, looking up at the tent, he slowly sang, "...Although the flowers are already blooming , you don’t pick wild flowers on the side of the road. Remember my love, remember my love, remember that I am waiting every day, I am waiting for you to come back, don’t forget me.”

"What a strange tone." Xu Qingheng chuckled, turned over and put his arms around Jia Lian's waist, seeing that he hadn't avoided it for the first time, blinked his eyes, he had calmed down after being made such a joke by him, and sighed secretly that he really did It's so deceiving, thousands of words linger in my heart, and finally said: "If you are picked by someone, you will become a broken flower and a willow, and you don't have to come back."
