The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Shi Guangzhu felt abrupt when he uttered his words. In the past, it might have been a joke, but now because of Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun's reputation is not good, so this joke can't be taken, so he said goodbye vaguely.

Chen Yejun knew that Qiu Jingui was precious, and he was afraid of being blamed by his family if he took it home, so he didn't even mention the words he said to bid farewell to Jia's mother, cupped his hands, and followed Shi Guangzhu in a panic. , Feng Ziying, Li Cheng, and Li Jin left.

Jia Lian took the clothes and looked at them in his hands, compared them with Liu Xianglian, and asked Liu Xianglian, "Do you know what the old lady means?"

Liu Xianglian said suspiciously: "Of course the old lady hurts the younger generation, so what else can she mean? But I don't know where Brother Shi said that."

"The old lady feels sorry for Miss Yuanda. This dress is not something that ordinary people can have. I gave this dress to let people know that Miss Yuanda has a rich dowry." Wild Duck Mao, very compassionately said: "Why bother, for a piece of clothing, at least hundreds of wild ducks will die."

Liu Xianglian looked at Fu Diqiu in confusion, and was stunned for a while, remembering that Chen Yejun left immediately because of Shi Guangzhu's joke. In this way, it means that Jia Lian expected it right?So he nodded, pushing this and that, he couldn't help thinking about the deep meaning of Jiamu's gift to him in the past.

"Send it back to the old lady." Jia Lian gathered Maodiqiu and sent it back to the little girl's arms.

The little girl wrapped it up carefully, and didn't dare to say a word, so she hurried back to Rongqing Hall, entered Jiamu's room, and said, "Second Master Chen didn't dare to accept it. Second Master asked me to give it to the old lady. return."

Jia's mother was leaning on the kang and using the hot kang to warm her waist. She leaned on the Yin pillow and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Chen dare to accept it? It's just a piece of clothing."

The little girl didn't dare to hide anything, so she explained it in detail from beginning to end.

This little girl was originally with Nanny Lai. Mother Jia refused to pay attention to her before. In the past two years, she saw that she was born more and more outstanding. She saw that the facial features were compared with pearls and amber, so she asked her to wait on her. Now It was named Glass, replacing the little girl Glass that was given to Liu Xianglian earlier.

At this time, Jia Mu heard what the glass said. Because Shi Guangzhu had broken her mind, she had a clear conscience, but for the sake of leveling the bowl of water, she had to say to the glass: "Go find your sister Amber and ask her to put the bird in the cabinet again." Find out the gold ones and send them to the second master."

Glass hastily agreed, seeing that bird gold is more golden and emerald than duck fur, he was envious, took his hand and touched it, hurriedly wrapped it up and went to Jinghuanzhai, went there and entered the door, and saw in the bright room Jia Lian was eating noodles while reading a book, and sitting across from him was a young man who had just celebrated Jia She's birthday, and said: "The old lady heard that Mr. Chen would not accept it, so she asked Sister Hu Po to put the clothes back. , and took out the big clothes that were pressed at the bottom of the box, the old lady said that this clothes would be the most suitable for Lian Erye, so she asked me to bring them." Saying that, she was about to go forward and unfold them.

Quan Xi and Quan Lu hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice, "Second Lord is eating, don't let this old clothes get dusty." After walking four or five steps, he opened the bag and revealed a piece of bird gold, and asked Jia Lian to have a look.

Glass Nahan said that such good clothes still dislike falling dust?

Jia Lian turned her head and looked at it, turned around and sipped two mouthfuls of noodle soup, and said, "I have to thank the old lady." Then he got up and said to Xue Pan, "please stay with me", because he felt that the old clothes might not be worn by anyone, and he didn't care. He refused to put it on, but also put on his big cloak of azurite feather gauze, and followed the glass to Jiamu's place to thank Jia.

Out of the corridor through the wall, Jia Lian felt that the little girl was pretty and she was the best of the family in her age, so she asked, "Who is your old lady?"

Glass smiled and said, "Second Master forgot that I came here with the Lai family?"

Jia Lian said, "I remember that there was another person who came in with you."

As soon as these words came out, Glass's expression darkened immediately, and he said softly: "That one died within two months after coming in. The old lady asked me to recognize Mrs. Lin as a godmother because of this, so that if she gets sick, there is also a place to stay A place to recuperate."

"The old lady is right. Lin Zhixiao's family is a kind-hearted person, and it's not bad to follow her." Jia Lian didn't know whether the dead one was Qingwen, or the one in front of him was Qingwen. After thinking about it, he arrived at Jiamu. In front of the room, seeing pearls, parrots, and the emeralds that Liu Xianglian added after he arrived were all distributing the jewelry headflowers that Yingchun dug out in the corridor, and said to turn around and ask how Xu Qingheng was playing in the warehouse after Yingchun left, After Amber closed the curtain, she went into the suite and thanked Jia Mu who was sitting on the kang and reading Buddhist scriptures.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't wear that bird gold, Jia Mu ordered him to sit down when he was still jealous of Chen Yejun's crooked jealousy, and said with a smile, "I ate some of that elephant nose. It tastes good." It’s just fresh, and it’s not very tasty to eat too much.”

Jia Lian said: "It's not worth killing an elephant just to eat an elephant's trunk. I also sent a message to tell them not to be filial to such things."

Jia Mu smiled, asked Jia Lian to sit down beside her, and said tentatively, "What do you think of the Chen family?"

"He's very lively."

Mother Jia sighed. She didn't want to take care of Yuanchun at first, but seeing that Yuanchun was one year older after the Chinese New Year, and she was nineteen years old, she couldn't see it, so she wanted to take care of it a little bit, "I didn't give them a house in the past Since you have been in contact with him again this year, is this gift going to be given again?"

Jia Lian said: "It's just that we buddies are playing around. It's enough for me to give Yejun some gadgets during the Chinese New Year."

Jia's mother knew that Jia Lian knew her thoughts well, so she simply opened up and said, "Your elder sister Yuan was raised by more than a dozen nuns since she was a child. She has roots of wisdom and a good life, but now... Now I intend to marry her into the Chen family. Although the Chen family is also the descendant of the prince, but now it is becoming more and more difficult to put on airs. Only his father is still the admiral in the Shenji camp, and there is no other one. Someone who can see."

This admiral was no different from Admiral Li Ruina, and no one cared more about the ostentatious Shenji Camp in the past two years.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Ancestor, how can a younger brother be a matchmaker for a sister? If the ancestor is looking for someone, just send a matchmaker."

Jia's mother said this to Jia Lian because she was afraid that Jia Lian would obstruct her. After asking a few times, she saw that he was always in a tone that had nothing to do with her, so she said, "I'm tired of being with you for a day. Let's go back."

"Yes." Jia Lian agreed, and slowly retreated out. Suddenly, when he left the warm and fragrant room, the cold wind outside made his hairs stand on end. He was not in a hurry to go back to Jinghuanzhai. Go out of the backyard and go straight into the Yingchun yard.

When Yingchun heard about it, she brought Siqi to welcome her, and said with a smile, "Why did my brother come to my side?"

Jia Lian saw that there were only a few small paths in her yard that she swept lightly with a broom, and the other places intentionally kept snowflakes, so she didn't go inward, so she went into the gatehouse and stood there and asked, "How did you play in the warehouse with Miss Xu?" fine?"

Yingchun smiled and said, "We dug through a lot of things together, and we found one or two good things as if we were looking for treasures. Later, big sister Yuan proposed to eat barbecue, and we enjoyed the snow in the garden. Later she came I’m sitting here, leaving a book for my brother, has my brother returned to Jinghuanzhai? The book has been sent to my brother’s room.”

When Jia Lian heard it, she immediately understood that Xue Pan had also gone, so Quan Xi and Quan Lu accepted the book without mentioning it. After nodding, they asked, "Did she ever invite you to their house?"

Yingchun hurriedly smiled and said: "Not only please go to their home, but also to other people's home. She said that there will be a party in a few days to pick me up, and next month she will pick me up for a good sister's birthday, and urged me to write I received three or four self-recommended posts from Mao Sui, and invited me to join their reading club, embroidery club, plum blossom poetry club, and a Go meeting."

"She understands that you don't have a wife to lead you out, and intends to lead you out," Jia Lian said.

Yingchun smiled and said, "Who said it wasn't?"

Seeing that nothing happened, Jia Lian wrapped her cloak and went out. On the way, she thought that there were so many games played by the little girl's house. She walked forward through the alley and entered the Jinghuanzhai. Outside, she heard Xue Pan and The laughter of Quan Lu and Quan Xi, when he went in, Xue Pan became serious.

Xue Pan got up and said to Jia Lian, "Sister Feng also said that what Lian's second brother said is reasonable, so what Lian's second brother said is really reasonable."

Jia Lian said: "Since it makes sense, you can listen to her."

Xue Pan smiled, and said: "You should listen to her, but there is an old saying that a man should marry at thirty, and a woman at twenty. I have to marry two years later. During these two years, I must marry Listen to Brother Lian."

"You came to my side to drag the text. Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Jia Lian knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and as he said it, he went into the east room, turned around a little, and saw it On the carved cabinet of the three-entry babu bed and the second entry was a small light blue bundle inlaid with gold, and he immediately sat on the cabinet and opened the bundle facing the lamp.

Xue Pan followed him in, sat on the third step, and leaned on the Ruiyun pillar while watching Jia Lian unpack the burden, while laughing and said: "I think the second brother's business is doing well, and I also want to get involved. That's all, the second brother's shop in Jinling makes more money than our Xue's."

"It turns out that you are a very wise and foolish person. That's easy to say. Let's ask the shopkeeper to discuss with your shopkeeper. It's just the capital. If your uncle finds out..." Jia Lian unwrapped the green cloth bundle in his hands, and Seeing a letter on top of it, he opened the letter and discarded the grand rhetoric and colorful allusions, then saw Xu Qingheng said that he specially got a ruler letter for him, so he looked at the cover of the one in the package that depicted mountains, rocks and ancient trees I flipped through the book, and sure enough, in the lower script with hairpin flowers, I wrote the molds for birthday celebrations, congratulations on newlyweds and newborns, mourning the loss of spouses and elders, and even ordinary correspondence. To send letters by post, just follow this model.

Jia Lian rubbed his forehead and sneered, then Xu Qingheng must have seen that he communicated with Xu Yuheng and Xu Yuzhen in the same vernacular, so he sorted out this ruler slip for him, and thought it was very useful, after all, with Xu Yuheng Just a few, if you write this kind of vernacular for other people, it will make people look down upon you, so you wrap the ruler carefully again, and then think about how to return the gift. Since this ruler is written by others, if you take some ready-made gold Sending the hairpin and silver hairpin over seemed to be insincere, so after thinking about it, he bent over and spread his legs and took out a glass box from the drawer of the cabinet under him, counted through the glass, and saw that there were peaches in it. Although the twelve zodiac signs carved on the core are not lifelike, they are also very interesting to play with. Just as he was about to explain to Quan Xi, Xue Pan snatched the box away.

Xue Pan put the box in his arms, jumped two steps away, and said with a smile: "Second brother Lian, quickly tell me, which beauty is this gift for? Don't pretend that I don't know, your little bag is from Fang's daughter's family. The head wrapped in Lingpin, Jiangya seawater and eight-treasures veil, may have the scent of osmanthus oil on it." Saying that, he was about to snatch the veil and smell it.

Quan Xi hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Xue can't do it, it belongs to Miss Xu."

When Xue Pan heard that she was Jia Lian's fiancée and not an outside actor, he didn't dare to make a fuss, took out the box from his bosom, and said repeatedly, "I've offended, I've offended."

Xue Pan didn't mention it, but Jia Lian didn't know that it was for wrapping his hair, so he took the handkerchief and sniffed it, and sure enough, he smelled a faint fragrance. After a while, he just said to Quanxi: "Tomorrow, someone called Zhao Tianliang sent the twelve zodiac signs with peach pits in this box to Xu's family, and said that they were for Mrs. Xu to play with. After seeing Mrs. Xu, she naturally knew that they were given to him Miss Xu's."

Quan Xi hurriedly agreed.

Xue Pan opened the box, looked at it carefully under the light, and saw that it was indeed a monkey and a golden rooster carved with a maroon peach core. Know how to behave? The second elder brother took his daily handkerchiefs and spread them carefully in this box. People see that they are half-new and not old, so why don't you understand what you mean?" Saying that, he was about to rob Jia Lian. The handkerchief was put in the box for him.

Jia Lian hurriedly raised his foot to block him, and said with a smile, "Don't play with those gaudy things, this is to be sent to the old lady. It doesn't matter if I let people see it, and let people have no face." Then he said: "It's getting late, you will inevitably violate the night ban if you go out at this time, follow me to the study outside to rest, and let's discuss business deals." Then, he tore off the handkerchief and stuffed it in the cabinet, and only took the ruler to ask Go outside the study.

The two of them were in the west room of the outer study, separated by a bogu shelf, one sleeping on an arhat bed and the other on a kang, talking without saying a word.

Early the next morning, heavy snow fell all over the place.

Zhao Tianliang took the glass box and came in quietly. He first heard Xue Pan snoring like thunder behind the Bogu rack, then he saw Jia Lian wrapped up in the quilt and called softly twice. The horse came out and rode all the way to Xu's house.

Arriving at the door of Xu's house, he said his future intentions, so he followed the people to see Mrs. Xu, stopped in front of Mrs. Xu's door through the curtain, kowtowed and handed the glass box to the maid to send in, and got a reward, thank you Well, let's go.

In the room, Mrs. Xu was sitting on the kang in the inner room drinking tea, watching Xu Qingheng prepare the needlework for the embroidery competition, put the box on the kang table and leave it alone, and saw Xu Qingheng peeking at the butterfly love he was doing now and then, as if he was not in the mood When the flowers were embroidered, he took the pear-wood ruler and drew it from her hand, and said angrily, "Let me ask you, if you send the ruler letter, you will send the ruler letter. What are you wrapping it in?"

Xu Qingheng felt pain in his hand, covered his hand and said in doubt: "I told someone to take it casually, I don't remember what it is?" Because she felt that the nanny must understand, she went to peek at the nanny, never thought of being hit on her hand again, and hurriedly covered it He knelt down on the kang and begged for mercy.

"I'm not afraid of being underestimated!" Mrs. Xu scolded, and called the two nurses who followed Xu Qingheng out and kept a nurse who was watching the house to come in. After the three of them knelt down, they said again: "Everyone is old. Confused, just eat good wine and good food, and don't care about serious business."

The two nannies knelt on the ground tremblingly, and couldn't figure out what went wrong for a while, only the nannie Liao who was left to look after the house was secretly happy.

Xu Qingheng was still at a loss, thinking about it again and again, only remembering to hand the book to the girl and ask the girl to wrap it in something, and asked cautiously: "Old lady, what's wrong?" It was obvious that the old lady Xu had allowed her to send the ruler letter , but also suffered two feet, can not help feeling wronged.

The old lady Xu saw that she was really ignorant, and knew that she was a person who only cares about the stuffing and not the skin, so she sneered and said: "You children, you are happy to go out for a while, who cares about such trivial things, but someone saw it at that time. I didn't understand a little bit, but later I just felt that I could accuse someone of a vegetarian corpse with this matter, so I just came to me and said." Leaning at Nanny Liao, he sneered: "Which girl have you mentioned to get it? Giving it away with a headscarf?"

Nanny Liao is only in her thirties, and speaking of it, Xu Qingheng eats the most milk from her, but she is not qualified enough, and she is overwhelmed by several old nannies in their 50s and [-]s. The old lady punished the two old nannies, not wanting to burn herself, so she hurriedly said anxiously: "I dare not tell others, I only tell the old lady."

Mrs. Xu spat: "It's a good thing you have the face to say that you didn't tell the truth at the time, and you are the most hateful people like you!" As she said, she asked someone to drive Nanny Liao out, and scolded the nanny who followed her. : "Everyone is in a daze, can't you see this kind of thing?"

The two nannies saw that Nanny Liao, who was ambitious to step on the two of them, was dragged out, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "The girl is getting older, and the little girls will take care of the things in the room. I don't recognize them for a while... ..."

"You still have the guts to say this, you two and the girl in the girl's room will all deduct half a month's money." Mrs. Xu said.

The nannies hurriedly kowtowed to express their gratitude, and then they quietly left when they saw that Mrs. Xu had nothing to say.

Xu Qingheng was shocked when he heard that it was wrapped in his own turban, and regretted not seeing what it was wrapped in, so he asked the maid to find Yingchun's girl to give something, laughed and pulled the old lady Xu's sleeve, chuckled Said: "Old lady, let's go and get the scarf back."

"Send it out and come back, isn't it more of a cover-up? I only hate your carelessness, your maid's carelessness, and that blind villain who dares to put dust on your face just to climb up. If there is a next time , I don’t punish others, I only punish you.” Mrs. Xu took the ruler and hit Xu Qingheng’s hand again, seeing her leaning up to hide, and seeing her secretly looking at the glass box, she pretended to be angry and supported the old lady. Mammy got off the kang and went out.

Xu Qingheng rubbed the back of his hand, saw several blood marks on Bai Nen's hand, went to look at the carved glass box, saw that the peach pit was very fond of it, immediately opened the box, poured it on his hand, and looked at it carefully, But I knew that Mrs. Xu might not have asked people to secretly look at her, so I intentionally said angrily: "It's a plaything for children, who loves this?"
