[Red Mansion] Master Jia

As soon as Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion, he met his nominal father, Mr. Jia She, in the garden.

He didn't bother to salute him, but he didn't expect that Jia She didn't care, so he yelled directly: "Lian'er, it just so happens that the master is looking for you."

What happened on the street made Jia Lian sullen, and when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at him.

Only then did Jia Shen notice Jia Lian's attitude, and he couldn't help feeling angry: "What's your attitude? I haven't settled with you for what happened last time." Jia Amnesty was referring to the last time the servant of the household department came to "copy" Yin Zi, and this stinky boy actually pushed everything on him, leaving him speechless, and received a lot of reprimands in front of Jia Mu.

Mother Jia doesn't like to see herself very much recently. When she greets her, her nose is not her nose, and her eyes are not her eyes. She only cares about joking with her second brother Jia Zheng.

"Master, what's the matter?" Jia Lian asked expressionlessly.

Xing'er pretended to be a quail, and her head was hidden in her clothes.

As if thinking of something difficult, Jia She said with a snort, instead of continuing to struggle with his son's "disrespect", he asked him to do something: "I saw an ancient fan in the hand of a scholar in Chunfeng Building today, you go and give it to me." buy it."

"Buy?" Jia Lian sneered, "Master, why didn't you just buy it yourself?"

Jia She blew his beard: "Stinky boy, it's not that I won't give you money. Go to Gongzhong to pay 100 taels, and you must get that ancient fan back for me." After that, he also threatened: "If you can't get it back, You don't have to see me anymore, get ten boards yourself!"

Jia Lian didn't want to pay attention to Jia Amnesty's order at first, but when he thought of the money in Jia's accountant...he nodded and agreed to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty told who the man belonged to, and told Jia Lian to get the fan. Seeing that his son could do anything, he thought he should be able to handle such small things well, so he left satisfied.

Jia Lian walked slowly to the accounting room with his hands behind his back, and the accountant seemed to be a bit embarrassed by Second Master Lian, "Second Master Lian, does the Eldest Master want to pay money again?"

Jia Lian gave a soft "hmm" and waited for him to take the money.

The accountant dawdled, and said: "This month... the big room... has..."

"Can't you get 500 taels?" Jia Lian didn't scold or get angry, but just looked at the 50-[-]-year-old tent without a smile.

"Second Master Lian, 500 taels is a bit much." The accountant rubbed his hands, then glanced at the account book on the table.

"Just give it to me, and sister-in-law Zhu just let her ask me." Because Sister Feng is pregnant and is still in the first three months, all the housekeeping matters in the mansion belong to Li Wan.

The accountant opened his mouth, but said nothing more helplessly.

Jia Lian's attitude became tough and he withdrew 500 taels of snowflake silver from the cashier, and for some reason a monk and a monk came to mind again.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian felt more and more that magic should be mastered as soon as possible, otherwise he might meet with them one day if they have different ways and do not conspire with each other.Let’s just say that the protagonist of this red building is another Jia Erye——Jia Baoyu, who seems to be a "fairy" descending to earth.

And that ghost fairy...

They may all be their own enemies!

Jia Lian narrowed his eyes, thinking silently in his heart.

The next day, when the magic power returned to normal, Jia Lian returned home soon after going out.He took a fan and asked Xing'er to tell Jia Amnesty to wait in his study.

Even though Jia Amnesty is ignorant, he still has expertise in looking at antiques. He took the fan handed to him by his son with a happy face, looked at it carefully, and finally showed a satisfied smile.

"It's a good job, Lian'er." It was rare for him to praise her.

Sitting on the chair, Jia Lian took a sip of hot tea and glanced at Jia Amnesty through the mist of steam and water, with a relaxed expression.

500 taels of silver left 490 taels of silver. He just spent ten taels of silver on buying a fan frame and a blank fan, and then found someone who had the original fan. He didn’t want to sell it if he didn’t lack money. Jia Lian didn’t want to buy it at all. Borrow it to have a look, and then "copy" to imitate the exact same picture drawn on the newly bought fan paper.

Therefore, the ancient fan Jia She is holding now is just a replica he copied with magic.

A fake is a fake after all, with his current skill, the "painting" on this fan may only last for a month.

A smile appeared on the corner of Jia Lian's mouth.

****************************

Autumn is here, and the farm in Jia's family has recently produced less and less produce.Rent collection and food collection in autumn need to be reviewed and arranged by competent leaders.

There is no housekeeper in Jia's house now, and Wang Xifeng is pregnant, so she is naturally out of energy.Li Wan, on the other hand, is kind-hearted and soft-hearted, unable to do such a big thing.

As for Mrs. Xing, Mother Jia never thought about it.

She herself is old and frail, and has not been in charge for many years. In addition, Baoyu begged her to behave in front of her every day, and Mrs. Wang also counted fomi and offered them to her with Baoyu's hand.

Thinking of Baoyu and Yuanchun, who had no news of entering the palace, Jia's mother softened for a moment and let Mrs. Wang out.

When Mrs. Wang went to pay her respects for the first time, she kowtowed to Jia Mu, she was very grateful, and she sincerely vowed that she would never do this again, that she would take good care of the house and would not be greedy again.

Wang Xifeng originally raised a baby and didn't want to let go of the housekeeping power, but Ping'er finally persuaded her that the baby was not easy to come by. The second master also said that it was a boy, but it was a gift from God, so she was asked to be very careful.It made sense for her to hear it, she temporarily put down the things in her hands and rested.

Mrs. Xing saw that Mrs. Wang had made a big mistake, and she was released within two months. She was dissatisfied and hinted at Jia's mother many times. , only beat Mrs. Wang, and let her make a good fortune in Zhuangzi as soon as possible.

One day, Mrs. Wang called Jia Lian over.

Jia Lian pretended to read the black book of the "God of Law" these days. Everyone in the house knew that the second master of Lian begged the right god. "Come.

That's what it says in the book. As the name suggests, Guangming must be the kind of sect that abandons evil and promotes good. It is the god of Guangming Dharma.There were indeed a few servants who went to the Second Master Lian to inquire about it. For those who inquired about these things, the Second Master Lian had a very good attitude towards them.

In fact, Jia Lian read all Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and even Legalism, Huang-Lao, Mohism and other classics every day. He roughly swept through all of them and remembered them in his brain. The massive amount of data on the server hit his brain, and he could hardly forget it.

And Jia Lian, who has read many classics, can now be said to be comparable to any great Confucian or polymath in the world.

Wang Xifeng didn't want Mrs. Wang to ask Jia Lian to go out to handle errands. What happened a few days ago made her not sure what this "aunt" was thinking, and she was afraid that the second master would not be able to handle the errand.

Knowing Mrs. Wang's temperament, Wang Xifeng was quite worried.

She really loves and hates the present Jia Lian. She loves him and is alone now, and she doesn't even think about the maids and daughters-in-law anymore.

And Jia's mother also sent a message after she became pregnant, asking her to arrange a room for Jia Lian, but she endured the bitterness to mention it, but Jia Lian refused. Long'er and a Zhao'er waited on him.

Moving away from the pregnant wife and being arranged by the mistress as a housekeeper is the rule of a rich family. No matter how domineering and jealous Wang Xifeng is, it is impossible and dare not violate this "female virtue".

For this reason, she deliberately gave up Ping'er to Jia Lian.

But Jia Lian bothered her for always mentioning that the waiter who greeted Ann refused the matter in front of Jia's mother, and even released a "gentle" smile at Wang Xifeng.

This not only made Jia's mother strange, but everyone in the family thought that Lian's second master was unbelievable.

That's Ping'er girl!

Not to mention being handsome, it's good to behave like one in the world. The second master Lian liked it very much in the past.

For a while, everyone in Jia's house, from wives and young girls to young servants and girls, all said that Second Grandma Lian was a jealous hag.

Wang Xifeng pays respects to Jia Mu every day, but she can only hold back her smile and bear the reputation of "hagsha" alone.Now she is eager for Jia Lian to find another woman to share her "pressure".But this Jia Lian didn't know why she was so pure and ascetic now, like an ascetic monk in a temple. These days, Wang Xifeng knew that Jia Lian had never touched a woman, let alone a handsome young man.

Those good-looking boys who didn't work in the past... were also sent by Jia Lian to work in Zhuangzi one after another.

Although Jia Lian didn't like Mrs. Wang calling him, it was hard for him to find a reason to refuse to see his elders.

He entered Mrs. Wang's room, and seeing Wang Xifeng looking at him with a bitter face, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to say "Why are you here?"

Wang Xifeng didn't want to move, but Mrs. Wang was her aunt after all, and she was her current second aunt, and her pregnancy was safe, so she couldn't refuse for a while.

Mrs. Wang made fun of their young couple's "eyes expressing love". Jia Lian was quite amused. This Wang Shijing couldn't see the appearance of being imprisoned for making mistakes a few days ago. Her tone and demeanor were the same as before. Madam said to ask Jia Lian to inspect Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing...

After Jia Lian heard this, she thought in her heart that Mrs. Wang might not be sincere, and she was just using him, a rich man, as a pretense for the previous matter.He just said no time.

Wang Xifeng lowered her eyes, she stopped before, but Madam Wang didn't listen.Taking a peek at Jia Lian's expression, he felt unhappy.

Mrs. Wang didn't seem to expect Jia Lian to reject her, she couldn't help but said unhappy: "Lian'er, this Rongguo Mansion will be yours in the future, and the second aunt is just helping you take care of the housekeeper. If there is no one available for a while, the second aunt will not It will make you tired, why are you still lazy about your own business?"

"I'm really not free." Jia Lian's voice was cold.

Hearing this, with a "shua", Mrs. Wang's face darkened.If it wasn't for showing her current "justice" and "selflessness", how would she call him.

Apart from Jia's mother and eldest uncle Jia She, no one in this house really dared to show her face. In the past, Lian'er and his wife didn't flatter her, so why are they deliberately angry with her today?If it's really because of the silver thing... hold grudges against her...

Seeing her expression, Jia Lian smiled, and suddenly asked in an unclear tone: "Second Aunt really wants me to visit Zhuangzi?"

"Of course, is there a fake?" Mrs. Wang didn't know what Jia Lian meant for a while.

"If there are people who are greedy for Mo Zhuangzi's future, I think I can deal with them by myself?" Jia Lian calculated the money in his hand. These days, under the name of Jia Amnesty's collection of antiques, he accumulated three to five thousand taels of silver from it. The madam secretly had some opinions, but she didn't dare to ask the accountant to question her eldest uncle, Jia She. Jia Lian filled his own pockets like this, and in addition gave Jia She the fake ones, which earned him praise for his successful work.

Jia Lian himself felt that he was really "ashamed of receiving it".

Mrs. Wang listened to Jia Lian's question at this time, and she looked at Jia Lian seriously suspiciously. Jia Lian was still Jia Lian, even the small mole next to her ear was the same as before, but her temperament really changed a lot, I don't know if it is good or bad.Mrs. Wang hoped that Jia Lian would continue to indulge in womanizing as before, if... she secretly glanced at Wang Xifeng's stomach, thinking if... the future title... Baoyu...

Mrs. Wang suppressed her thoughts, now is not the time to think about this.

She only thought that Jia Lian wanted to get some benefits from disposing of some servants, so she hinted to Jia Lian: "If someone in the village is greedy for ink, it is up to you to fight or sell..." Most of the farm heads are A small part of her people who are disobedient are the children of Jia's hometown, but don't think that they are all loyal to their masters. Mrs. Wang read the account book, and those old guys' prospects are even lower. There must be a lot of tricks. If Jia Lian finds out something, it will be of great benefit to her.

Jia Lian stroked his index finger and thumb, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'll take over the job."

Before leaving, he glanced at Wang Xifeng meaningfully. "Feng'er, you'd better stay in the room, rest a little longer, and don't disturb Second Aunt any more. You know, be good! Be careful, son!" The last two words were whispered softly, and they were only heard by Wang Xifeng , but it seemed to magnify into the apex of her heart.

Involuntarily, she trembled inexplicably.

Wang Xifeng's face turned pale, wondering what Jia Lian meant by that?

His words...as if to warn her...There is something in his words.

Suddenly Wang Xifeng felt that staying in this room made her stomach feel a little uncomfortable. After thinking about it, she decided that she had listened to Jia Lian's words, so she found a reason to leave in a hurry, which made Mrs. Wang very strange.

Immediately, she waved her hand, let Zhou Rui's family enter the room, cleaned up the large glazed plate containing peanuts and fruits on the table, and removed the red-patterned batik tablecloth that exuded a faint fragrance.
