[Red Mansion] Master Jia

Only he and Xing'er knew about Jia Lian's Zhuangzi, and Sister Feng probably guessed it, but she didn't care.After all, it was Jia Lian who saved up his private house to buy it with great difficulty, and the area is not big, so it couldn't catch her eyes.

"Xing'er, how big is this Zhuangzi?" Jia Lian only walked for a while and walked all over the land.

"Back to the second master, this... I guess it's only a hundred acres of land." Xing'er looked around, and forgot about the land at a glance. The acreage is not the best, it can be regarded as an upper-middle-class field.

Jia Lian glanced at Xing'er, the servants of Jia's mansion were always "me" and "you", when they were afraid or begging for mercy, they were "slaves", "little ones" and "servants".He didn't mind too much, and it wasn't that the Banner family was too particular about the rules, but the Rongning Second Mansion didn't mention the titles of slaves and slaves, but just listened to the housekeeper Lai, who actually let the juniors of Jia's family say "Grandpa Lai" one by one. " shouted...

This is too much!

Jia Lian can't understand this.

He was also a person who used to call slaves and servants, and there were even a few apprentices. They were all very cautious in front of him, let alone servants and maids.If a servant in the family dares to ride on his head if he is old because of his seniority, and let him call him "Grandpa XX", he will make him cry day and night, regretting his mistake!

Xing'er didn't notice the second master's gaze, that's what the servants of Jia's mansion call their master, if it's in Baoyu's room, let alone the servants, only the maids in the room, big and small, can all flirt with the master and take Qiao Woolen cloth.

As the breeze blew across the field, Jia Lian could even smell the dirt. He sighed: "Zhuangzi is a little small." He is short of money!There is also a lack of land!

If he wants to recover his magic power, there is another way, which is to build a mage tower.When Jia Lian came out of Rongguo Mansion, he looked at the layout of the capital city. His mage tower should be built in the Forbidden City in conjunction with the formation. There are many government offices in between.

But, can the emperor agree?

Jia Lian shook his head and sighed inwardly.

This social class is clearly defined, and the imperial power and official authority cannot be violated. There, he can't buy land even if he has money. What's more, he hasn't got the money yet, and the title of Jia She has not been passed on to him.

Jia Lian had already made up his mind, not only wanting money, but also titles.Erfang's calculation will inevitably come to nothing, Jia Lian will not let his title of title run away.

It's the same thing if he doesn't want to inherit, if someone plots to rob him... Jia Lian's mouth curled up into a dangerous smile, he is willing to die, and he doesn't want others to touch his things.

Jia Lian walked along the edge of the field, Xing'er was behind, wondering what the second master was thinking.

Over there...Jia Lian looked from a distance, he was used to seeing the vastness of the Orpheus Magic Continent, the people in the Qing Dynasty were still too dense, for example, on the other side of the river, the fields were all small, and there were still a few acres nearby. Covered with many earth embryo houses.

"Second Master, that's Liu Family Village." Xing'er pointed to the crowded place on the other side of the river.

"Go and see." Jia Lian was on a whim, not only had he never seen the countryside here, but Second Master Lian himself had never seen what a real farmhouse looked like before.

The two walked over. The villagers were dressed in ashes and went down to the ground with hoes on their shoulders. It was not long after noon at this time, and the sun was still poisonous.

Seeing them all, Xing'er felt hard work, and suddenly felt that he was the son of Jia's family, and he had always been valued by Lian's second master, and his life was much better than theirs.

Let’s just talk about eating meat, he can eat it every two days, and his parents are also the stewards of the shop outside.

Jia Lian didn't put on airs until now, he suddenly thought of something, with a smile on his face, and even exchanged a few words with the old farmer here.

In the evening, he and Xing'er live in this small village. The head of the village is from Liujia Village. The family is quite rich. He signed a living contract with Jia Lian and belongs to good people. He just helps manage the production of this hundred acres of land. That's all.

Xing'er wondered why her second master lived for 20 days in this innocuous village, sometimes leaving him behind and disappearing.

Two days before leaving, Xing'er heard a rumor, and told the second master with great interest: "Master, there is big news in this Liu Family Village!"

"Oh?" Jia Lian was holding a book in his hand, and Xing'er could read a few words. It turned out to be "The Analects of Confucius".

He quickly glanced at Second Master, hiding his surprise in his heart, Second Master wanted to devote himself to learning.However, after thinking about it, he guessed that the inside might be a erotic novel, but the outer cover is serious.

Qing coughed, and Xing'er said something to Jia Lian: "...then Grandma Liu has no son, and she lives only on her son-in-law. Her son-in-law can't lift his hands or shoulders. People in the village have a lot of difficulties. I didn't expect it!" Xing'er said that he was excited, and his spirits were flying.

Jia Lian smiled, "What's the matter if I didn't think about it?"

"Second Master, you don't know that when Grandma Liu went to the market in the village, she heard some gossiping women talk about a stone pagoda in the back mountain, and it is said that if you make a wish after worship, there is a high probability that it will come true... ..." Xing'er turned his head to look at Jia Lian, and sure enough, seeing that his second master was very interested, he couldn't help continuing: "Anyway, it's not far from home, and this countryman is also solid, so Grandma Liu will follow those women together. I went up the mountain and kowtowed a few times, I didn't even know which fairy's fairy house that stone tower was, so I made a wish..."

"Grandma Liu's wish must have come true," Jia Lian said.

"Hey, how did the second master know?"

"If it doesn't come true, you kid won't tell Grandpa."

Xing'er scratched his head and laughed twice.

Jia Lian closed the book, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Let's go and make a wish too!"

"Ah?" Xing'er was startled, Second Master still believes this?Usually the Buddha and the Taoist, the second master is too lazy to wait...

Xing'er went out, inquired about the location with the villagers, gave the farmer a handful of copper coins, and asked him to lead the way, and the two of them followed up the mountain.

"Second Master, that tower—"

When Jia Lian passed by, there was a woman kneeling and kowtowing in front of the pagoda.

Xing'er went over to strike up a conversation, and after chatting for a while, he realized that the old woman in front of her was Grandma Liu, and she came to fulfill her wish today, and even killed the family's big rooster.

She made a wish yesterday, and picked up ten taels of silver on the way back. Some villagers saw it and spread the word.I heard that this happened more than once. Other poor families either found work in the city or made money from outside. There was also a family in the village whose man was sick, and unexpectedly met a brilliant doctor who came into the house to beg for water. By the way, I will see a doctor. After a dose of medicine, the man will be able to go to the ground the next day.

……

There have been a lot of weird things recently!

Xing'er clicked her tongue, turned her head to look at her master, only to find that the second master was also kneeling in front of that crude stone pagoda, meditating silently, presumably making a wish, and then kowtowed.

"Second master..." Xing'er whispered.

"It's just a wish. Let your second grandmother blossom and bear fruit soon."

Xing'er understood that the second master missed his son.

Apart from being pregnant with the eldest sister in the year of the wedding, the second grandmother has nothing to do in the past few years, and she doesn't let the second master spoil others... The second master also has difficulties in his heart.

At this time, Grandma Liu looked at Jia Lian's master and servant dressed in rich and noble clothes, and she was so courageous. When she started talking to the second master, she knew that she was related to the second grandma. Xing'er stood bored and curled her lips, but it was Wang Jiayuan's house. It's just a shabby household, but the second master was very polite, and he wanted to follow the village chief's house in Liujia Village as he talked.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Grandma Liu said that they were from Rongguo Mansion, and the village chief rushed to welcome the guests into the house.

Jia Lian explained his purpose.It turned out that Grandma Liu said that when she made a wish, she found a dozen books stuffed in the gap of the stone tower, only one of which was thicker, and the others looked exactly the same.

These books are very expensive in this country.

At that time, Grandma Liu and several women in the village decided to put the book in the village head's house. The village head's house had a boy born son. I heard that after reading it for a few days, I said that I couldn't understand it.

Jia Lian said he wanted to read it, but the village head asked his son to take out the book, "This book is indeed repeated." He read ten identical black books, and the words inside looked like they were written with fine charcoal pens.

"There's another thick one." The Tongsheng picked up a thick book and handed it to Jia Lian.

Xing'er saw that there were two languages ​​written on the cover of the book, and he could recognize a few words - "Comparative Dictionary of Guangming Dharma Book".

The remaining line is a crooked strange rune or a "painting"?

Tong Sheng said: "I have also read this book. It is indeed a dictionary for the unknown characters to be compared with ours. But I studied it for two days and found it too difficult. I only understand a few words in the black book. I guess the black book It’s like a missionary book, but the writing has never been seen before, it’s not Sanskrit, and it’s not from South Vietnam... maybe it’s in Kuqa, Khotan, Kucha, or Loulan.” Speaking of this , he was obviously smiling and teasing.

His task was to examine talents, and he was just curious about the characters of such a remote "small country". When Jia Lian expressed interest, the village head actually gave him three or five black books, and even the only dictionary. gave.Xing'er held the book and followed the second master back to Jia's mansion. On the way, the second master even smiled and asked, "Do you think your second grandma will really have one?"

"Yes! There must be! Didn't Grandma Liu say that the magic god is very effective." Xing'er said something pleasant, but she was bumped into by someone without paying attention, and the books were scattered all over the floor.

Xing'er opened his mouth to scold, but it turned out to be Jia Dairu from the school.

"Is there something wrong with my uncle?" Jia Lian asked.

"Lian'er..." Jia Dairu also taught Jia Lian knowledge, but Jia Lian was not as good at reading as Jia Zhu, so he had to make comparisons and reprimands. At this time, he was begging him, and he didn't even know what to call him.

"If you have any difficulties, can your nephew and grandson help you?" Jia Lian thought of Jia Rui's illness, so he must have asked Sister Feng for a good ginseng root, and boiled the "solitary ginseng soup".

Jia Dairu's flushed face still explained why he came here, Jia Lian looked down at the paper bag in his hand, and asked Xing'er to open it to see, it turned out to be a bunch of inferior ginseng.

"It must be that the boy in the pharmacy is not sensible. Xing'er, go to the pharmacy in the house and tell me what I want. Pick a good ginseng with 'whole beard and whole tail'. My uncle and I will go to his house. You hurry up Some, if you can't do it, you will be hit thirty times!"

"Hey, Second Master." Xing'er hurriedly handed the book to the concierge, and ran to the pharmacy by himself.

Jia Lian was going to follow Jia Dairu to see Jia Rui, who was seriously ill. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a strong smell of medicine. It is inseparable from the bronze mirror under his pillow.

Jia Rui fell asleep at this time, Jia Lian took out the mirror, Jia Dairu told the origin of the mirror at this time, it turned out to be a lame Taoist who said it could save lives.

Jia Dairu looked disapproving when he said this, the mirror did not save his life at all, but his grandson's condition became worse day by day.

"I think this mirror is a bit evil." Jia Lian stroked the mirror with his palm, he frowned slightly when touching the front side, and smiled when he was touching the back side.
