The Red House Returns the Pearl Lin's Home

Surrounded by zhulezi, Wang Xifeng was wearing a peach red flowered jacket, and was sitting upright on a large golden heart and green satin cushion, holding a small copper fire chopstick in her hand to shake the ashes in the hand stove, when suddenly she heard a sound, Looking up, Jia Lian lifted the curtain and came in, sat down on the kang, and complained angrily: "It's freezing cold, and I've blown the cold wind outside for most of the day just for the sake of the relatives' garden."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly gave him the stove, ordered Ping'er to make tea, helped Jia Lian straighten his collar, and said with a frown, "Don't the boys who are following you have any sense? The men are cold outside, don't you?" If you know, ask someone to come in and tell me? And who is on duty to follow, so careless, the second master told me, and reported to the wife and sent it out!"

"I'm so busy running around, how can I take care of this?" Jia Lian poured a mouthful of hot tea with Ping'er's hand, and the tea poured down his throat into his stomach, and he shivered hard, before he regained his strength. , sighed, "It's just started now, not to mention me, the second master will stay there after he leaves the Yamen, and he's not wearing thin clothes. No matter how tightly covered he is in such a horrible weather, his teeth will still tremble from the cold." .”

After a pause, he suddenly remembered something. Jia Lian pulled the stove into his arms and turned to look at Wang Xifeng: "Did something happen today? The second master was still busy, and I saw a slender eyebrow." The slender-eyed boy went to report something, the second master was so angry that his face turned yellow, he left the mess and left without saying a word, the elder master always doesn't care about these things, everything is on my head Come on, otherwise how can I wait until this hour to get out?"

Wang Xifeng's pretty face froze, she pursed her lips and did not make a sound.

Jia Lian saw that something was wrong, thought for a while, and smiled: "Don't fool me with words, we are the two closest people in the world after all, suffering and freezing for so long in vain, how can I finally even have a baby?" Can’t you get any plausible reason?”

"Where did I hide it from you on purpose, it's really hard to say," Rao Wang Xifeng has always been a competitive rouge tiger, she couldn't help but blushed when she heard this, and flicked the veil at him, red lips stopped Staying on the upside, he frowned in embarrassment, and then said, "Isn't it because of the second wife, and the three aunts and grandparents in the inverted Baoxia hall!"

"How do you say it?" Jia Lian became even more interested, seeing Ping'er go out tactfully, leaning his head on her shoulder, sniffing the scent of rouge on her neck, caressing her white, tender and smooth skin, her voice was slightly lower than usual , "Second Wife is a serious aunt, what can she do and say, so that the Second Master is so angry?"

"It's said that it was purchased by the mansion, or is it because of a garden with a foundation just built outside? Hey, it's really not a big deal, but it's shameless to say it, and I'm afraid it will be a joke to the second master." Wang Xifeng paused after finishing speaking. , Seeing that Jia Lian was a little moved, but still insisted on listening to her continue, she could only sigh, "The second wife took three or four wives and a few account books today, and seems to have gone to find Cousin Lin."

"I'm confused. How can the housekeeper's wife take the account book to the girl who lives here?" Jia Lian was slightly taken aback. He was also a good hand in dealing with foreign affairs. After figuring out the joints involved, he couldn't help but frown and said, "The second wife is targeting the Lin family?"

Crying poor to my sister-in-law's orphan, this is really something a wife of a wealthy family can do, and no one else can think of such a brilliant idea.Jia Lian looked down on him quite a bit, moved the corners of his mouth, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

After all, Mrs. Wang is the second wife of Jia's family and Wang Xifeng's aunt. He can't say some nasty words, but this is too unreasonable. Looking at the situation, the Lin family must have made a fuss over to the old lady's side. Go, the whole family followed up and down without face.

"Second master still said, where is this?" Wang Xifeng couldn't help lowering her voice, and said carefully, "I heard what the old lady said, and I'm afraid that the second wife still wants to ask people to live in the house. What about the monthly rent—"

Jia Lian was stunned for half a cup of tea this time, then bowed his head and remained silent for a while, Fang said: "It's thanks to her being able to open that mouth..."

"Actually, it's nothing. They live in Jia's mansion, so they should show something. I usually pay close attention to the things that the Lin family brings to Beijing. They are all of the highest quality. After all, the Lin family is no worse than ours." Where to go? It's not that cousin Lin doesn't have money in his hand, so how can there be any reason to eat uncle? The second wife's method is a bit wrong, but when I think about it, it may not be unreasonable." With an extra layer of blood relationship, Wang Xifeng finally My heart is still partial to Mrs. Wang, so I have to describe it for her.

Jia Lian sighed: "Cousin Lin and I are close cousins ​​after all. He also plays very well with Baoyu on weekdays. The second wife behaves like this, as if we deliberately bully their widows and widows."

Wang Xifeng added fire to the hand stove he was holding in his arms, and said with a smile: "Second Master is overthinking again. Ever since Cousin Lin's cousin Lin came, has there been a bit of negligence in the house? Don't talk about others, at least Mr. My wife has never owed me the slightest bit, especially my sister Lin's treatment. Let alone the three girls in our family, I don't think even Baoyu can do much better. The Taiwan confession case kowtows every day, just now is it worthy of them?"

"If I say one word, you will have ten words to answer it." Jia Lian just looked at her and smiled, "Why is the old lady doing this? Can't you see it?"

"Of course the old lady has her own considerations. I am the most stupid person, what else can I see?" Wang Xifeng pretended to be stupid and said something, paused, and couldn't help but show a little complacency on his face. "I'm not blind yet, I've figured it out a long time ago. Look at the things in Cousin Lin's courtyard. I stuffed them all the best. I never disdain, regardless of what their brothers and sisters think. Anyway, I will never offend myself." place."

"However, I have heard a few old ladies talk badly by chance, saying that Miss Bao has a refined manner and good character, and that Miss Lin is aloof and aloof, with a clean eye." Jia Lian didn't believe it, and teased her with words.

"Second Master is wrong. Who is to blame? Is it all on me?" Wang Xifeng snorted lightly, "My mouth grows on other people, even if I heard the wind, don't tell me? Do you want all the women not to talk about the two of them anymore? Suddenly these two girls came to our house, they are about the same age, and they are not bad in appearance. Among the servants, there must be a comparison."

"Don't be sloppy with me. Cousin Lin's temperament is naturally inferior to that of Xue's sister. It's true, but it shouldn't be spread to the point where everyone in the two houses knows about it." Jia Lian was not fooled, and sneered slightly. .

"What's the matter with the second master today? Why is Hao Duan Duan holding on to the Lin family? What's the big deal? I was still yelling about being cold just now, but it's not cold now?" Wang Xifeng was a little impatient, this time There are indeed Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue behind her. Although she doesn't want to admit it directly, she doesn't think there is anything wrong. She naturally follows the old lady's thinking, but there is no need to offend the second wife for nothing.

In the contest between the two most powerful people in the inner courtyard of Jia's mansion, she only needs to fish in the troubled waters without offending both sides, and she will naturally feel like a fish in water and be proud of herself.

Jia Lian couldn't help sighing, and said with a smirk, "I'm not going to hide it from you, let's just say it. Cousin Lin is fine, but I always feel that the pair of brothers in the Lin family are weird. A bit of a skewed talent, after so many years of exploration, I also have a bit of experience, but I can't see through these two people."

"Is there anything you can't see through? A child who is only two and a half years old." Wang Xifeng still had three points of disbelief. Seeing that he spoke with seriousness, he cheered up a little bit, "What's the situation with you, Cousin Lin?" I also saw that he is the second devil king in the house, and Baoyu is a natural pair of cousins. In lawlessness, he is better than Baoyu. Earlier, the two of them jumped from the rockery with cowhide bands and almost fell Frightened to death following people, the old lady still can't stop reciting Buddha's name. Yes, but I really can't imagine what he can do in the future."

Jia Lian opened his mouth, thinking of Lin Lu's usual behavior, he really felt that he was overthinking, but the "Lin brothers" were two people after all, he thought to himself that even if he was worrying about Lin Lu, he definitely didn't think too much about the other person. Yin said: "Not to mention cousin Lin, if you just look at second cousin, you will be different from ordinary people at first glance."

Lin Lin's death house is in the West Courtyard and the Upside Down Baosha Hall. Except for the first time when the three of Lin's family entered the Jia's mansion, Wang Xifeng met once, and she really didn't see each other at other times. Thinking about it now, it feels like a sawed-off Hulu, it's not worth mentioning, so he smiled and said: "I have already said it myself, he is just a little orphan, and he is said to be the disciple of the abbot of Qixia Temple, but it doesn't really matter much at all."

"Let's not talk about background, just talk about ability. I heard people say that the second cousin sleeps at three o'clock every day and gets up at five o'clock every day. He is the most diligent and hardworking, and his kung fu is also very good. If he takes martial arts in the future, it will be a way out." " Jia Lian didn't say a word, and she showed Lin Lin's appearance and style. Even if she was an outcast, she was definitely not an outcast of ordinary people. Qin Keqing, the daughter-in-law of the grandson of Ningguo Mansion, was also an outcast. The four princes will wear mourning clothes for her funeral.

When Wang Xifeng thought about it, he really tasted something, but he didn't take it too seriously, he still said: "I didn't say that my second cousin has such a personality, he is so frivolous and arrogant that even the old ladies would be surprised by it." I feel uncomfortable. Although I am a woman with knowledge, I also know that even ordinary relatives are people who like to be gentle and obedient, let alone dealing with people in the officialdom? Don't talk about others, it is the second master. Look, the same errand , would you like to send someone like Cousin Lin who is always smiling and talkative, or would you like to send a cold-faced ghost to do it?"

After a pause, Wang Xifeng summed up the central idea: "So let's talk about the second cousin, whether he can enter the court and become an official is still a matter of choice. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he enters the court, in my opinion, his future is very limited. .”

"Yeah, although I can't convince you, you haven't convinced me either." She said she was right, and Jia Lian felt a headache when he heard it, so he didn't continue to entangle on this issue, and just said, "My point has been made, you And it’s still good to hear, there’s no need to freeze the relationship between relatives for a little thing, the world is impermanent, who in this world can’t ask for it?”
