The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Lin Zhixiao's family saw that Mrs. Wang had sons and daughters, and they didn't take the fact that Aunt Zhao gave birth to the second wife and third master of Jia's family to heart. Tell Mrs. Wang about the matter of staying behind closed doors. After babbling some irrelevant words, she went out of Mrs. Wang's door and went around to the room where Caixia and others were on duty at the back of the house. Feng and Cailuan opened a camphorwood box to show her.

"It is said that this wood does not attract insects, and it will not be broken after hundreds of years." Caiyun patted the box with his hand.

"Where did this box come from? There is also a piece of camphor wood in the old lady's room, but it is not so big, and it can only hold some small clothes." Pearl smiled, slightly pursed her lips, and looked at the other boxes piled up in the room.

Caifeng smiled and said: "I brought it from the storeroom. There are still some in the storeroom. I will use this box to pack clothes for my wife when I get back."

"There are still so many good things in the warehouse?" Pearl stroked the smooth lid of the box.

"That's not true. Our Jia family has been an old family for how many years. Even if we dig in the ground, we may not be able to find any treasures. You don't know, the good people over there will ruin people." Caifeng After Mrs. Wang was trapped in this courtyard for more than three months, people from the capital finally came, wishing to shake off the pain she had suffered.

Lin Zhixiao's family was standing by the door, only to see the pearl eyeballs staring at the box and turning around, obviously focused on the box, but the Caifeng was only thinking about complaining, and didn't pay attention to Pearl's weird behavior. In her heart, she originally thought that Jia Mu was distressed by Mrs. Wang, so she asked her maid to serve Mrs. Wang. At this time, she thought that it was not the case. This pearl seemed to have received an errand from Jia Mu just like her, and she was full of suspicion. After leaving here, I just met Caixia who couldn't ask for ginseng, and came to discuss with the other maids with a mournful face before asking for ginseng. After hearing Caixia say a few words, she sighed that even if the old lady knew that the old lady forgives the old master and the second master Lian abused her. What is the use of Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Wang?If the old lady's eccentricity can come in handy now, the couple will not be in the current situation.

Lin Zhixiao's family walked out of Mrs. Wang's yard along the corridor, seeing the paint peeling off everywhere on the old carved beams and painted buildings, and felt sorry, went to the front yard and sat in the hall, and finally found a decent and respectable daughter-in-law. , said a few words with the daughter-in-law, but saw that the manpower here was full. She wanted to help take care of it as Jia Mu said, but she couldn't get in. Finally, she followed a daughter-in-law to a courtyard for a temporary stay. When I entered the yard, I saw that the yard had been abandoned for more than three months, and weeds and dandelions were growing in the cracks between the bricks on the ground.

Lin Zhixiao's family had been to Jinling's old house earlier, and knew that the courtyard was Jincai's, but when Jia's mother came, she asked her to inquire about the relationship between Jincai and Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, so she pretended not to know and asked the guide. Daughter-in-law: "Whose yard is this? It doesn't look like it's unoccupied. I don't know if they will be happy if we live here for a few days."

The daughter-in-law who led the way smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Lin just stay here. This was originally the yard of Jincai and his wife, who were in charge. Who would have thought that the couple did something wrong, and the old man came out of the coffin, and they were packed up and didn't know where to escape. went."

Lin Zhixiao's family knew that Jincai and his wife had gone to Beijing to join Jia's mother. They thought about what this daughter-in-law said. The Jincai couple didn't look like Jia She and Jia Lian. It's true, Elder Master and Second Master Lian have lived here for more than half a year, and under their care, don't you miss the past at all?"

The daughter-in-law pursed her lips when she heard this, and said, "Sister-in-law Lin's words are very nice. My father was almost killed, so how can we reminisce about our old love?" He led Lin Zhixiao's family in, because before the capital came, Zhao Tianliang beat them both hard and soft. , so he didn't want to ruin his future by talking too much, and just said, "I don't think Jincai and his wife dare to come back. Sister Lin just stay at ease."

Lin Zhixiao's family asked the little girl to put down her luggage, walked around Jincai's somewhat spacious courtyard, and looked from room to room. Clothes and some odds and ends of silver, it can be seen that Jincai and his wife left in a hurry, not like people who have friendship with Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, seeing Lin Zhixiao enter with a blank face, Lin Zhixiao's family hurried up to meet him and asked, "How is the Eldest Master?"

"It doesn't look like it can be cured, but it's not a serious problem right now. A few men are scheduled to leave in September." Lin Zhixiao looked at the room and asked in surprise, "Is this Jincai's room?"

Lin Zhixiao's family nodded.

Lin Zhixiao didn't ask any more questions, and just said: "Zhao Tianliang said that the red jade was favored by the second master, and he was working as a maid for Miss Yingchun. When I got back to the mansion, I sent her to Miss Yingchun's room." Now that big girl shouted three words very awkwardly.

Sitting on the edge of the kang, Lin Zhixiao's family sighed: "... I wanted her to be a little girl in silence, but when she grows up, she begged to be released, but now..."

"I heard that Miss Yingchun intends to promote her to be a first-class maid." Lin Zhixiao added.

Lin Zhixiao's family was so worried that they forgot to bring tea to Lin Zhixiao, only thinking that if Yingchun called the eldest girl, where would this place the eldest girl Yuanchun?If Jia's mother complained about Yuanchun, and she couldn't directly shame Yingchun, she would have to find fault with the maids around Yingchun in the future to beat Yingchun and not compete with Yuanchun. The red jade was produced to win over the couple?

"What's the matter?"

"Let's take one step at a time." Lin Zhixiao had no idea at this time, he raised his hand to find a cup of tea in a bowl, and saw that the tea was clear and pleasantly fragrant, it was obvious that Jia Lian had ordered someone to bring good tea to praise him, wrinkled He frowned, sighed in his heart that the boat would naturally go straight when he reached the bridge, and he had no choice but to listen to what the superior said.

Two days later, Zhao Tianliang came to ask Lin Zhixiao to help prepare the thank you gifts from various families in Jinling. Seeing that there were only at least eight long boxes for the Li family, he was puzzled but didn't dare to ask, so he only got up early on the third day to help Zhang Luo He ordered people to prepare carriages and sedan chairs, and prepared to send Jia Lian and Yingchun to Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.

After waiting outside the door for a while, I met Jia Lian, who was like a crown jade, wearing a green satin shirt with a crisp white fat jade button on his waist, leading a small emerald green sedan chair out of the door, and hurried forward to say hello.

Jia Lian asked Lin Zhixiao to get up, and rode out as before. After walking a dozen steps, he looked back at Lin Zhixiao.

Lin Zhixiao hurried forward, "Second Lord?"

"Now, who is temporarily acting as the chief executive?" Jia Lian wondered if Jia's mother would ask her to be the chief executive.

"... Jincai." Lin Zhixiao said.

"I don't know who it is, so it's him." Jia Lian snorted.

Lin Zhixiao couldn't tell from Jia Lian's attitude whether Jia Lian was close to Jin Cai or not. After waiting for a long time, Jia Lian didn't see him asking again, so he reined in embarrassingly and backed away.

"In the future, don't call me big girl Yingchun big girl, just call me big girl or girl."

Jia Lian spoke abruptly, and Lin Zhixiao quickly responded, thinking that Second Master Lian is completely pushing Miss Yuanchun out of Rongguo Mansion?

Jia Lian saw that Lin Zhixiao was honest again, and he thought that the daughter in his family could say "there is always a banquet in the world", no matter how honest she was, she knew it well, and went all the way to the yamen of Liangjiang Governor's Mansion without waiting for Huo Cheng and others to greet her. Come up, get off the horse first, hold Huo Cheng's hands, and said with emotion: "I don't know when I will see you again when I return to the capital."

Although Huo Cheng never got real money from Jia Lian, Jia Lian quietly hired his brother, who was struggling to make a living, to be the second shopkeeper in the shop, because Jia Lian was never in front of him. Mentioning this matter, he also told him to feel that Jia Lian is a person who really cares about other people's urgency and values ​​loyalty, unlike those sons and daughters of aristocratic families who would only throw a few taels of stinky money at you when they need you, so at this time he also sighed with emotion. Wanqian said: "Second Master Lian, don't forget us when you go. We will meet again in the mountains and rivers. Maybe we will be lucky enough to go with Master Li after he is transferred back to the capital. Maybe we can meet each other." Li Rui, Li Bizhou, and Xu Yuheng spoke.

Li Bizhou and Xu Yuheng had been waiting at the Yimen, and when they saw Jia Lian, they couldn't help but stepped forward.

Xu Yuheng smiled and said: "Coincidentally, grandfather will have his birthday in the next year, and we are about to go to Beijing together. At first we didn't know when you would return to Beijing, and we wanted to delay it for a few days, so we could spend more time with you. Now it happens that the two families are leaving together."

Seeing that Xu and Li were also going to Beijing, Jia Lian couldn't ask for more. He hurriedly followed them and said, "Among the six arts of a gentleman, five rites, six music, five shooting, five imperial controls, six books, and nine numbers, these I don’t know anything, and I was thinking about hiring a gentleman to teach at home. Now, I have a ready-made husband.”

Xu Yuheng sneered and said, "Why are you a nerd again? Although it is said to be the six arts of a gentleman, I don't see anyone seriously wanting to learn these one by one."

"That's all for learning, I don't dare to claim to be a gentleman." Li Bizhou said modestly.

Xu Yuheng only thought Jia Lian was joking, and said with a smile: "So, I will call you a gentleman from now on?" All the way forward, he walked into the study of Li Rui's inner courtyard, and saw a woman holding a chess record and leading two little maids. Go out from the study door.

I saw the woman was fifteen years old, with all the green temples piled behind her head like a cloud, two strands of scarlet headbands seemed to be indistinctly exposed in her hair, two strings of red coral pendants hung on her small ears, and her body was also of the same color. The pomegranate red dress with no frills or embroidery, the red all over her body reflected on her face, making her face as ice-like as snow, with water-cut eyes calm and clear.

"Second brother Lian..." Li Bizhou didn't expect Li Wanting to come out of Li Rui's study at this moment, and it was too late to stop Li Wanting, so she went to see Jia Lian.

What a beautiful yellow-haired girl...

Jia Lian thought.
