The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Jia Lian was very embarrassed, as far as he was concerned, he would rather not see him; otherwise, he would have to despise his own character in his heart.

After the Ning family's procession winds its way out of Ningrong Avenue, Jia Lian's group and Xu Qingheng's sedan chair slowly head towards Rongguo Mansion.

Entering from the east corner gate, Jia Lian hurriedly ordered Jia Yun and Jia Zao to lead Li Bizhou, Yuan Jingfeng, Chen Yejun, Feng Ziying, and Shi Guangzhu to meet Jia Amnesty in the Dongkua courtyard first, and then he led Xu Yuhang, Xu Yujue and the sedan chair Xu Qingheng from inside went to Rongqing Hall.

At the hanging flower gate in front of Rongqing Hall, Jia Lian turned his head, unable to bear to look at the sedan chair.

But Xu Yuzhen was happy to be Jia Lian's brother-in-law, and deliberately pulled Jia Lian's sleeve to embarrass him, and insisted on asking him to watch.

Jia Lian turned her head to look helplessly, and couldn't help being startled. Although she heard that Xu Qingheng was thirteen, she couldn't help but fantasize about her growing older. Who knew that she was pink and tender, with immature and plump cheeks, like The twelve, feeling helpless, turned his face away again.

Xu Yuheng and Xu Yujue only thought Jia Lian was shy, so they deliberately laughed at him and said, "Why are you more petty than Qingheng?"

"I've met the fourth brother." Xu Qingheng blessed Fushen, seeing Jia Lian's eyes flickering and refusing to look at her, he looked at him more curiously, thinking in his heart: Fourth brother has such a shy temper.

"It's windy here, come in quickly." Jia Lian said to the wife at the door again: "Tell the old ancestor that sister Xu Qingheng is here."

The daughter-in-law didn't know which Xu's family it was, so she secretly glanced at Xu Qingheng, seeing that she was an extraordinary beauty, she hurried in to report.After passing through the front hall, in front of the door of Jia Mu's room, pearls, amber, chess, ruby, and mandarin ducks have already come out to welcome them.

After the mandarin duck closed the curtain and everyone entered, without waiting for everyone to salute, Jia Mu had already asked Hu Po to take off the pomegranate red silk fox fur cloak outside for Xu Qingheng, and then ordered the mandarin duck to lead Xu Qingheng to her side and hold her hand first. Seeing that her hands were small and soft, she asked her to sit on the couch next to her again and again, and said, "It's cold outside, I'm afraid there will be snow particles in the next half day. She just came in from the outside, quickly put the foot stove under her feet "Looking with a smile on his face, he saw Xu Qingheng's round face, slightly raised chin, and lively and bright eyes. At this time, he took off his big cloak, revealing a goose-yellow tapestry narrow jacket, willow-green pleated skirt, and a double bun She is light and small; when she saw that she was still wearing a golden bell for children's life on her wrist, she immediately smiled from ear to ear, and touched her small earlobe lovingly with her hand, and saw that brothers Xu Yuheng and Xu Yuju were going to see each other, He hurriedly said to Jia Lian, "Take your brother to your father's side quickly. Your sisters and sisters are all waiting to see you in the east room."

"Yes." Jia Lian had mixed feelings, glanced at the immature Xu Qingheng again and again, and then led Xu Yuheng and Xu Yujue outside again.

"What, my little sister is worthy of the fourth brother? In the future, the fourth brother will call me uncle." Xu Yuyu jokingly put his arms around Jia Lian's shoulders.

Jia Lian pursed her lips and smiled.

"Hmph, I haven't seen you so shy in the past." Xu Yuheng sneered. Like Xu Yuzhen, he felt that Xu Qingheng's talent and appearance matched Jia Lian very well, so he also felt that he was shy, so he deliberately wanted to force him to say more. In a word.

If the person who is engaged to him is sixteen or seventeen, Jia Lian can barely picture the elegant things such as Zhang Chang's thrush, qin and se and singing in his heart, but if Xu Qingheng is replaced, Jia Lian thinks that he will buy bunches of candied haws from time to time to tease her , As for the thrush, qinse and ming, it's better to avoid it. When I arrived at the front hall and saw the mandarin duck following me, I told her: "Get more small fruits and send them in...don't let people bully Miss Xu."

"Yes." Yuanyang agreed with a smile, knowing that the "people" in Jia Lian's mouth were Mrs. Wang and Yuanchun's mother and daughter who had cut off ties with the Wang family because of the Jia Xu family's marriage, so she agreed and went.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, Erheng has a thick skin, she doesn't bully others, so who can bully her?" Xu Yuyu laughed.

Jia Lian didn't dare to agree with this, and led Xu Yuheng and Xu Yujue forward, saw Quanfu holding a gift list, took it and looked at it, and said, "Take it, and when Aunt Xue's birthday, I will also quietly give gifts according to this list." .”

Quan Fu accepted the order and left.

Xu Yuheng guessed that it was Xue Pan who brought the gift, shook his head and said: "You said him, I met him two days ago, and I just saw him quarreling with his uncle on the street. It's boring to see me. His elder brother walked away chattering, so he dared to come over and complain to me, saying that the girl of the Wang family did not allow him to give his elder brother money, but his elder brother treated him like a money bag, and even after eating flower wine in a restaurant He asked someone to put it on his account. He said a few words to his elder brother, and for a moment carelessly brought out the name of the Wang family girl. Because of this, he went home and was taught a lesson by his mother and sister, and then saw his elder brother, both of them were unhappy, so they quarreled on the street again."

Jia Lian was glad that he didn't blame him for the mess, but Wang Xifeng actually had the heart not to ask Xue Pan to give Wang Ren the money, which was beyond his expectation. In the small courtyard ahead, even before entering, one could already hear lively laughter inside, listening carefully to what everyone said was all brushwork and ink, and suspected that they were appreciating calligraphy and painting.

When the three of them entered the small courtyard, they saw Jia She sitting in front of him on the kang in the room. On Jia She's left was Jia Zheng, and on his right was Ge Kui. The young men slipping down below, even Liu Xianglian, were among them.

"What is this playing, so lively?" Jia Lian asked with a smile.

"...Look at Tang Bohu's paintings." Ge Kui said without embarrassment, not knowing where to put his eyes.

Jia Lian first saw Jia She and Jia Zheng still holding glasses in their hands, as if they were about to study carefully. Looking at the ground surrounded by the crowd, he saw three or four Tang Yin paintings on the kang covered with red felt strips. The spring and the palace, on the stone pile in Zhongshan, on the boudoir couch, or a man and a woman are in pairs, or there is an extra maid pushing and helping, coughing, seeing Liu Xianglian also looking at it curiously, stretching out her hand to poke Liu Xianglian's head Kai, "Who gave it to you?" Luckily, he memorized a lot of poems and poems before Jia She's birthday, and prepared to deal with today's shooting and drinking orders. , Throughout the ages, to deal with a man's banquet, two kinds of wine and sex are enough.

Jia She said with a smile: "That boy Pan'er is still thinking about me. Although we are no longer in contact because of the Wang family, don't forget him." He is now "useless" and can only enjoy his eyes. The painting was exactly what he wanted.

"Yes, yes." Jia Lian clenched his fists and coughed, and seeing Li Bizhou, Yuan Jingfeng and others commenting on the brushwork in a straightforward manner, he suspected that he was too vulgar to see the profoundness of the painting, so he simply led Liu Xianglian out and called When the person put the banquet in, he remembered that Zhuangtou in the south had brought an elephant, one of the eight treasures, as a tribute. Because he couldn't bear to eat the elephant's trunk, he asked someone to cut the elephant's trunk in two and send half to Jia. Half of the mother's small kitchen was given to Jia Zhu and Li Wan. After seeing the snowflakes falling outside the door, the two red plum trees in the yard were ethereal and romantic, so she entered inside a little over her own strength and said, "Two masters, gentlemen. Brother, how about we combine poems and sentences together?"

Jia Amnesty frowned, and said to Shi Guangzhu and Chen Yejun, "You brother is good in everything, but you have read too many books recently, and you have developed an old-fashioned temperament, and you like to spoil the fun from time to time."

Shi Guangzhu and Chen Yejun smiled and said yes.

Jia Lian smiled, and Shi Guangzhu said, "Where are the girls in Brother Lian's family?"

Jia Lian knew that Shi Guangzhu was asking about the actresses who accompanied him, so he said, "Let them all out, this is the first snow this year, fine and small..." Before he could finish speaking, Jia Shen mentioned that he had returned After a few "masterpieces" and the boudoir "treasures" accumulated over the years, a group of young men coaxed Jia She to get them to open their eyes, and even Xu Yuheng and Xu Yujue followed them out of curiosity. .

Jia Lian had no choice but to get out of the way, and asked a group of people to surround Jia She to go to Jia She's room, and then sat down helplessly, a little envious of the elegant taste of Luxuean's barbecue, eating wine and reciting poems in the book. Jia Zheng, Ge Kui, and him said in embarrassment, "I'll make Master happy today."

Ge Kui is Xibin, so naturally he has nothing to say; Jia Zheng squeezed his glasses with an ugly face, and hesitated for a moment: "It's not very ugly." , looks much better, at least now it barely touches the edge of the word Fengya.

"...Is Yejun engaged?" Jia Zheng's immediate priority is Yuan Chun's marriage. It seems that another year will pass, and Yuan Chun is now eighteen, and there is no longer any delay.

Jia Lian said: "I haven't seen him for more than a year, so I don't know about this." No wonder Jia Zheng "took the time" to come over. He wanted to see his son-in-law, and poured wine for Jia Zheng and Ge Kui. Fu said that mandarin ducks were looking for him outside, so he went out of this door and went east to the gatehouse of the courtyard, and saw Luoxue Yuanyang, Yingchun wearing a feather gauze gown, leading Xu Qingheng, wearing a Guanyin pocket and a gorilla felt, came over.

"Fourth brother." Xu Qingheng called out holding the stove.

Jia Lian nodded, wondering why she changed clothes so quickly, then remembered that Jia's mother loves people's clothes, and thought that Jia's mother seemed to like Xu Qingheng very much, after all, she was not willing to give up the bird's gold. He took it out and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"The old lady asked the girl to come and celebrate the old man's birthday." Yuanyang handed the umbrella to the little girl, and heard a burst of laughter in the room and the sound of slapping the table, and said with a smile: "Do you also play drumming and passing flowers here?"

"That's right." Jia Lian said to Xu Qingheng: "There's no need to see each other. The master is having a drink right now. If you go in, the others will also be cautious." As for the group of young people, fearing that Xu Qingheng would think that Jia She was neglecting her, he asked again, "How are you with the old lady?"

Xu Qingheng smiled and said, "It's all good."

"...Except for two people who are not good, everything else is fine." Yingchun interjected.

Those two people are Mrs. Wang and Yuan Chun. Jia Lian was thinking about Xu Qingheng's coming as a guest, but the two of them didn't say anything, just smiled, which was embarrassing enough, and Tanchun followed closely Looking at Yuan Chun, these three people alone are enough to cool down the scene; it must be that Mother Jia wanted to drive Xu Qingheng away from beating Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter, so she sent mandarin ducks to Xu Qingheng and Yingchun Xiang under the guise of celebrating Jia Amnesty's birthday. Come here, otherwise I didn't mention it when I entered Jia's house, so why would I mention birthday wishes now.Fearing that the dirty words in the house would come out, he led them outside. After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out how to coax the 13-year-old yellow-haired girl, so he thought that the biggest hobby of women is shopping, and women in today's era can't go shopping. Shopping malls, can't you visit the warehouse?So he said decisively to Yingchun: "Take the key, and lead your sister Qingheng to our warehouse."

Yingchun was taken aback, and was about to say that there was no reason to ask the guests to go to the warehouse. After all, if Xu Qingheng misunderstood that the Jia family was showing off their poverty, then it would be bad, and then Jia Lian said: "Well, I'll go with it, too. Call a few little girls, whatever you pick, just take it out and play with it."

Yingchun had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Xu Qingheng also wondered what Jia Lian asked her to do in the warehouse, but wondered if Jiamu's work would be finished for a while, and also wanted to kill a while before going there, so he smiled and said: "Fourth brother, is there something in the warehouse that our family doesn't have? ?”

"Baby is not counted. It's just a pile of things piled up in one place. It's a pleasure to look at if it's dazzling." Jia Lian glanced at Xu Qingheng's small white and fat hands, and saw that there was a golden bell hanging on her wrist. I sigh in my heart that this is his little daughter-in-law.
