The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

The sounds of mourning and mourning from the Eastern Mansion kept coming. Mother Jia leaned on the lake blue satin to guide her pillow and looked at Jia Lian who was drinking by herself. The two brothers, Jia Zheng and Jia Zheng, have been abolished; Jia Zhukong has talent and learning, but is a little lacking in human relations and poor health; Baoyu doesn't know when he will be able to make a fortune. who?

Lin Ruhai's matter is a big one, and Jia Lian will definitely not joke with her about it.It can be seen that Lin Ruhai is really going to poke the hornet's nest, and the Wang family wants to ask the Jia family to persuade Lin Ruhai not to poke.

The Jia family was caught in a dilemma, so, it is better to take advantage of the bad reputation and "no" man in the family who can make up his mind, and keep a low profile, neither getting close to Prince Yizhong, nor standing next to Lin Ruhai, waiting Now that the dust has settled, we'll see how it goes.

"Lian'er's brother came here during the Chinese New Year, and it's not easy to talk. When the business in Dongfu is over, I will be a little Dong and ask you brothers to get together and learn together." Jia's mother knows current affairs. The person smiled kindly and handsomely.

Jia Lian swallowed the drink in his mouth, "Thank you, old lady."

Mother Jia smiled all over her face, and when she saw that there was one piece of jade left, she pretended not to care and said, "There is still one piece, brother Lian, let's play with it too."

Jia Lian smiled, what Jia's mother meant was that in the future, Jia's family will no longer have a psychic treasure who will first eliminate evil spirits, secondly cure injustice, and thirdly know disasters and blessings. If she admits this, she will truly give up partiality Second room, really convinced.Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and put the jade in his arms.

"Old lady, Second Master Lian, Mrs. Lin is leaving." Outside the floral felt curtain, the parrot reported.

Jia Mu immediately beckoned Yuanyang to come over, and said in a low voice: "Everything given to Mrs. Lin will be halved. Tell Mrs. Lin that I think of my aunt and sister Yu. I ate two more glasses of wine and left. A few tears, I can't bear to see him again."

Yuanyang nodded hurriedly, and immediately ordered to go down. After a long time, he brought someone to bring the dishes from the East Mansion. Here comes the food and drink."

"Let the eldest girl watch and return the gift." Jia Mu smiled, and looked at the mandarin duck standing on the ground serving Jia Lian's dishes. She saw the mandarin duck with a smile on her face, standing in front of Jia Lian in a bright green gauze dress, and Smiling to Jia Lian, "Lian'er, take the mandarin ducks back home. You only leave a few clumsy girls in your room to look after the house. How is it plausible?"

The mandarin duck who was holding the wine bottle shook her hand, quickly put down the wine bottle and knelt on the ground, blushing and said: "Old lady, you are..."

"Get up, don't you think you still look down on Lian'er?" Jia's mother smiled, and seeing that Jia Lian was still eating wine and vegetables, she was neither surprised nor pleased with her words, and became more and more determined to make amends for her grandson. win over.

"I'd rather stay by the old lady's side and serve her all the time." Yuanyang swears, she only thinks that Jia Mu is still suspicious of her, so she wants to send her away.

Jia Lian put down his chopsticks, glanced at Hu Po who was holding a tea cup, took the blue and white tea cup from Hu Po's hand, rinsed his mouth and wiped his mouth, then got up and said, "Thank you for the reward from our ancestors." Then he bent slightly and said to Yuanyang : "Okay, follow me."

Yuanyang met Jia Lian's eyes, and couldn't help but feel agitated. At first, she was a little confused, but then she thought that now that Jin Cai has become the chief executive, why should she follow the example of those shallow-sighted people, but still kowtow and refuse, when she heard Jia's mother cold With a snort, he had no choice but to stand up and follow Jia Lian out with a blushing face.

Along the way, Yuanyang wanted to talk several times, but was too shy to say so, followed Jia Lian from the corridor through the wall into Jinghuanzhai, only to hear Jia Lian say, "Tell Zhao Tianliang, the mandarin ducks are finally back to us", and immediately wondered if she came. Why do you have to tell Zhao Tianliang again, what about the word "we"?

After entering Jia Lian's room, he saw that Jia Lian put a psychic jade back into the sapphire blue embroidered green plum sachet on his waist in a bright room, and threw the other into the burning three-legged jade incense burner and worshiped again. After paying homage, Quan Xi and Quan Lu came in with almond tea and handkerchiefs, their hands and feet tied up more and more. They didn't know whether to help Jia Lian wash his face or express his ambitions. After all, with Jin Cai's current status, In the future, she can be regarded as a person with great promise.

"Second Master Lian, I don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the clang of jade pendants and the rattle of boots, Jincai couple, Zhao Tianliang, and another Liu Xianglian holding a mandarin duck sword came over.

Jincai's family saw Jia Lian, pulled the mandarin duck with mixed joy and sorrow, and asked Jia Lian, "What does the second master mean by looking at the old lady?"

Jin Cai said: "According to me, the old lady is showing her favor to the second master. She must be thinking that if Yuanyang belongs to the second master, she will be sent here to show that she will not pursue the matter of her boxes; if not , it’s here, and it just happened to win over the second master.” Because Yuanyang finally came out of Jiamu’s yard, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuanyang stayed by Jiamu's side all day long, anxious to come out, but when she came out at this time, she couldn't understand what to do now, she stood twisting her arms and legs, and saw Zhao Tianliang kept looking at her with her eyes, twisting slightly When he saw his face, he still peeked evasively, and shook Jin Caijia's hand shyly in his heart.

People from Jincai's family heard that Jia Lian specially called Zhao Tianliang to come here, but they didn't know what Jia Lian meant. Seeing that Zhao Tianliang was born with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a big physique, he was considered handsome, and he was Jia Lian's grandmother, so he was half satisfied. Holding Yuanyang's hand, he smiled and said, "How will the second master arrange Yuanyang now?"

"Mommy Zhao is also in charge of house affairs now, but it's a pity that she can't read. Since Yuanyang can read, it's better to help Nanny Zhao first, and live in my yard in the backyard every day. Just buy some shoes and socks for me." Jia Lian sat down. On the grand master's chair, holding a black chess piece, hesitated for a while, and then dropped that piece on the chessboard in front of him.

Jia Lian didn't intend to accept her, Yuanyang put her heart back into her stomach, and seeing Zhao Tianliang's thief eyes in front of Jia Lian kept peeking, guessing that she must have been caught by Zhao Tianliang at some point. Zhao Tianliang also had the audacity to ask Jia Lian to beg her. She was unwilling to stay in the Jinghuanzhai and be Jia Lian's roommate, but she felt that Zhao Tianliang was fine, so she quickly thanked Jia Lian.Losing his mind, he looked at the handsome Liu Xianglian with great interest, and was amazed that there was such a beautiful person outside Jia's family, so he followed Jin Cai's family and Zhao Tianliang to Zhao's house to meet Zhao Nanny.

"Tomorrow, the second master will go to Ningguo Mansion to pay tribute to the mourning ceremony. The funeral carriages and horses, the village where he stayed, and the temple have all been tidied up." After Jincai finished speaking, she laughed softly: "Uncle Zhen Tomorrow, someone who intends to show off the Ningguo family in front of the second master is intimate and wealthy, and the younger one will also have a view of wealth if he follows the second master."

Jia Lian also thought of this, but he didn't take Jia Zhen's "showing off her wealth" seriously, and even wished that Jia Zhen would spend all the money on Jia Jing's wife's funeral. Chess play chess.

Liu Xianglian put the sword on the high table, sat down opposite Jia Lian, looked at Jincai, put her face on her face and said, "Master Lin likes your Master Zhu very much. I just sent Master Lin off too. Look at Lin The master got into the sedan chair and still talked to your uncle Zhu."

"Ah."

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Liu Xianglian has also seen the Jia family's affairs clearly in the past ten days. She only heard that the servants of the two houses are not in contact with each other. The theory is that people from the two rooms should rush to curry favor.

"Why are you in a hurry?" Jia Lian laughed.

Liu Xianglian hurriedly said: "Why are you not in a hurry? Master Lin was born in Tanhua, and he is also a doctor of Longtai Temple..."

"How did you learn to be such a philistine?" Jia Lian smiled, and then saw two piles of books next to the wall, and hurriedly got up to get one to read, and saw that it was printed and punctuated. "The Classic of Tea", after reading a few pages, he said, "Where is Quanxi?"

Quanxi hurriedly came in with two cups of longan soup, and when she saw Jia Lian reading a book, she smiled and said, "I forgot to tell the second master, this book will be delivered at noon." Then, he put the longan soup on the low table .

"You bastard, you don't say a word when you deliver it." Jia Lian flipped through a few more copies, and seeing that the printing was fairly fine, he said, "Go to Xu's house to deliver letters to the uncle, second master, third master, and fifth master. Go there tomorrow."

"You forgot to go to Ningguo Mansion tomorrow? Are you going to see the funeral companions in the next few days?" Liu Xianglian reminded.

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "Then send someone to send it today."

Liu Xianglian also came over to flip through the book, saw some strange symbols in the book, and read the meaning of the symbols printed on the title page of the book, frowned and said, "Do you have to struggle to remember the meaning of these symbols after reading a book?"

"Those who know how to read will naturally understand the meaning." Jia Lian went to the west room to get a flower stick, pondered for a while, and wrote on the flower stick, "Lian is a layman. I got a copy of "The Classic of Tea" by accident, and I was very happy, so I asked my servant to take it to a bookstore to print it, and I ask Mr. Biting to forgive me if I offend you." Punctuation was also used on the flower tag, and I took an envelope to seal it In the book, only five "Tea Classics" were left, and the others were sent to Xu's house by Zhu Long, wondering if Li Wanting would be annoyed or happy when she saw this book?

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Jia Lian came out of the police hall wearing a dark blue arrow sleeve and a silver crown, and saw Jia Chi, Jia Dun and others were already waiting for him, as for Jia She, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Zhu and Li Wan were restrained at home because Jia's mother feared that they would be lured by Jia Zhen and Wang Ziteng to get involved in the affairs of Prince Yizhong's mansion, so they didn't come.

Liu Xianglian had nothing to do when she was free, and she also wore moon white arrow sleeves and powder-soled soap boots presented by Jia's mother, and followed Jia Lian to Ningguo Mansion to watch the excitement.

Everyone sat in the sedan chair, and before entering the door, they saw a group of noble slaves dressed in mourning to greet them. When they got off the sedan chair, they were welcomed in by Lai Sheng and other dignified stewards of Ningguo Mansion. The disciples of the first sect of Ningguo Mansion greeted them and invited them to the mourning hall of Jia Jing's wife. When they arrived at the mourning hall, they saw filial sons, virtuous sons, virtuous servants and slaves in linen and filial piety kneeling from the side hall to the Nuan Pavilion to the hallway.

When a group of people saw the people from the Rongguo Mansion coming, they howled mournfully at the top of their voices. Among them, a few outstanding people cried to death, and the sad words they chanted were very touching.Waiting, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, and Jia Qiang just showed up.

Jia Zhen leaned on her crutches and said sadly: "I was a step late when I was talking to the Qi family of the Marquis of Xiangyang. Don't blame Brother Lian." As he spoke, he led Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian forward.

Jia Lian curled her lips slightly. After Xin Dao divided into clans, Jia Zhen painstakingly planned, and now she finally called the Four Princes and Eight Dukes and some Pingyuanhou and Dingchenghou are close to the Ningguo Mansion. The disciples of this sect showed generosity, and imitated him and gave Jia Qin and others errands, thinking that Jia Zhen would just wait and see what good things Jia Qin could do for him.I went to the mourning hall to pay homage to Jia Jing's wife. I saw that there were twelve male and female servants everywhere. After a rough calculation, Rongguo Mansion now only has less than 200 servants whose names are on the booklet. There are at least four to five hundred servants.

A group of people went to the antler house on the left side of the main hall, and saw Wang Ziteng, Wang Zisheng, Shi Ding and others sighing and moaning in that room.

When everyone in the room saw Jia Lian coming, they immediately fell silent.

Although Jia Lian was appointed as a filial son, everyone saw that the Rongguo Mansion was alienated from the four kings and eight princes, and separated from the Ningguo Mansion. How could they openly oppose Jia Zhen just because of the name of a filial son?Besides, they were all flattered and flattered everywhere, and the Rongguo Mansion did not give them any gifts during the Spring Festival, so how could they be willing to put on cold butts at this time?So they talked around Jia Zhen and ignored Jia Lian.

The Wang family brothers and the Shi family brothers resentfully waited for others to leave the room, and then took their nephews to sit in the room with Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian.

The banquet was quickly set up, all of which were dried or fresh delicacies from mountains, south, sea, north, Central Plains, foreign countries, and aged with fine wine. There were also eight children with red lips and white teeth, who had obviously been specially trained and taught to warm the wine and pass on the dishes.

Just looking at the banquet table and listening to the sound of the flute outside, Jia Lian counted the money Jia Zhen had spent, then took a chopstick and put a piece of hoof into Liu Xianglian's bowl. He poured wine for him, hurriedly snatched down the jug, poured wine for everyone at the banquet one by one, saw the man sitting next to Wang Zisheng looked at him and glanced at Liu Xianglian, thinking this was Wang Ren, Wang Xifeng brother.

The Shi family brothers didn't talk much, just sat quietly, as if they understood that the Shi family had to be tied with the Jia family even if they didn't like the Jia family, and they were still unhappy.

Wang Ziteng and Wang Zisheng were very friendly. When they saw Liu Xianglian, they asked a few words and praised Jia Lian for his virtue. Brother Lian must come that day, after all, Aunt Lin is not a person who likes to listen to operas, so you come to ask him how to learn, and we will benefit a lot from listening."

Jia Lian knew that Wang Ziteng wanted him to be a lobbyist, and persuaded Lin Ruhai not to poke the hornet's nest, and smiled, "I forgot my uncle's birthday, and I have already made an appointment to go to Xu Shangshu's mansion to ask for advice. It's not good for outsiders. I can only neglect my uncle."

Liu Xianglian paused while pinching the chopsticks, convinced that Jia Lian was avoiding Lin Ruhai, and seeing Wang Ren looking at him contemptuously, she snorted immediately.

Wang Ren didn't expect Liu Xianglian to snort coldly at him, and held the wine glass to persuade Jia Lian affectionately: "Brother Lian, these are just playthings, you must not take them seriously, girl Feng..."

"Shut up!" Wang Ziteng knew in his heart that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were abolished. Jia Zhu is not a person who understands ordinary affairs. For the present plan, he can only persuade Jia Lian, who has a good reputation, to go to Xiaozhi to persuade Lin Ruhai with emotion and reason. Seeing Wang Ren's reckless remarks and directly saying that Liu Xianglian is a child prostitute, he hurriedly stopped him.

Jia Lian chuckled, this Wang Ren looked like Xue Pan earlier and thought that their Wang family's self-talking marriage would definitely come true, but now he didn't say anything, just called the Wang family to make a fuss, otherwise he was still worried about how to end it. I didn't know the relationship between the Erfang people and the Wang family, because I thought the banquet was too greasy, so I didn't eat.

When they heard that the hour was up, everyone got up, Jia Lian took Liu Xianglian in a four-wheeled canopy car, got in the car and just read a book, Liu Xianglian lay on the car window and looked out at the funeral procession like silver mountains and snowy seas, once again Ask Jia Lian, "Second Master Lian, but something is wrong with Master Lin?"

"Ah."

"What's wrong?" Liu Xianglian asked hurriedly.

"Children, why do you ask so many questions?" Jia Lian closed the book, and silently recited the words of the sage in the book.

"Second Master Lian—" Liu Xianglian called out, seeing that Jia Lian ignored him, she immediately jumped out of the moving car, squeezed into the funeral procession and disappeared.

Jia Lian opened the car window and took a look. Now he had to see what Lin Ruhai would do before he could decide what to do. He also heard that Feng Ziying was looking for him, so he invited Feng Ziying into the car to talk.
