[Red House] Second Master Liangshang Lian

The author has something to say:

From July 7rd to July 23th, there are red envelopes for comments~

The day before the opening of the Hall of Beauty, the entire Jinling was very lively. The Chaotian Palace ordered by the emperor a year ago was finally successfully completed. As the most grand place for ceremonies in Jinling, the people went to the gate of Chaotian Palace to wait for the emperor just after dawn. Come in person, there will be a celebration in the evening to celebrate the success of the Ministry of Industry and the engineering team.Although the common people could only wait and see from the outside, everyone was excited and excited. Almost none of them had seen what the emperor looked like. When they heard that the emperor was leaving the palace this time, they all wanted to see the emperor's demeanor.

When Jia Lian heard about this incident, he was discussing the layout of the studio with Craftsman Dou in the Hall of Beauty.

The Hall of Beauty is not that big, and there is Wangshui Pavilion next to it, so Jia Lian did not set up another office, but he still left a small space for Craftsman Dou as a studio.Craftsman Dou used to make jewelry at home, and after setting a completion time, he would send it to the shop.After hearing that Jia Lian was going to set up a jewelry-making room for him in the shop, he thought at first that Jia Lian wanted to come to supervise the work at any time, but although he was not unhappy, he was somewhat awkward.But later, Jia Lian explained to him why such a room was set up. Jia Lian’s meaning was very clear and firm. The setting of the studio is very necessary. Firstly, he wanted to give Craftsman Dou a better working environment. It is because he thinks that this can save Craftsman Dou's time, and most importantly, it will be much more convenient when he draws a new drawing and needs to explain the work to Craftsman Dou.Finally, he also stated that he would never interfere with Craftsman Dou's work, let alone supervise him.

Maybe he was moved by Jia Lian's sincerity, but Craftsman Dou seemed a little ashamed.

After discussing everything, Xing'er came with news.Jia Lian didn't have much interest in seeing the emperor, and there were so many people, even if he went, he might not even be able to see the emperor's head clearly, so why bother to join in the fun.

Seeing that Craftsman Dou was excited, Jia Lian let him go.He didn't want to see it, and he couldn't let others see it, "The left and right shops are open tomorrow, you can go and watch it, remember to come early tomorrow."

Craftsman Dou nodded repeatedly, and took Xing'er to join in the fun.

After the two shops were settled, Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion. When passing by the garden, he saw a girl sitting by the river feeding fish from a distance. He wanted to go back directly, but after thinking about it, he went straight walked over.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Jia Yuanchun turned his head and showed a gentle smile when he saw the person coming: "The second brother is also here to feed the fish?"

Jia Lian sat down on the stone bench beside her, but she didn't answer the question: "Why does the eldest sister feed the fish herself? Just leave this kind of trivial matter to the maidservant."

There are various types of koi raised in the ponds of Rongguo Mansion, and there are usually people who are responsible for feeding the fish.

Fortunately, Jia Yuanchun didn't pay much attention to it, "You also said that feeding fish is a trivial matter, and I can't do it anyway. Besides, it's different from feeding fish by yourself. Seeing the fish food swarming up, I feel much happier."

At the end of the sentence, she sprinkled a handful of fish food into the pond again. When the koi of various patterns and colors saw the food, they jumped up one by one, eating very happily.

Jia Lian grasped the words in Jia Yuanchun's painting, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Is elder sister troubled recently?"

Jia Yuanchun was slightly taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "Why is Second Brother asking that?"

"Elder Sister's inner worries are written on her face, why can't I see it." Jia Lian knew the reason for Jia Yuanchun's distress, so what he said was half-truth and half-false, and Jia Yuanchun might be able to say something like this.

Jia Yuanchun subconsciously touched her face, and the moment her fingertips touched her skin, she felt amused in her heart. How could the emotion on this face be felt?It's just that the action has been made, and she might not even believe it if she refute it, "I'm afraid my second brother won't be able to understand what's on my daughter's family's mind, let alone help me."

Jia Lian recognized the meaning of Jia Yuanchun's painting, and said, "What does elder sister mean by this? Could it be that she doesn't believe that younger brother has the ability to help you? Or is it that in the eyes of elder sister, I am just a playboy who only wants to have fun?" Younger brother, it’s not enough to share the elder sister’s worries.”

These words were a bit provocative, which also made Jia Yuanchun less calm and calm at first, "Second brother, don't worry, I have no such intentions. It's just that this matter is very important to me, and I don't know whether I should say it or not. "

Jia Lian softened her tone: "I understand that Eldest Sister has something on her mind and she doesn't want to say more, but you know that worrying too much hurts your body. I just care about Eldest Sister. Besides, if Eldest Sister doesn't say anything, how can you know that I can't help you? I'm afraid that apart from me, there is no one in Rongguo Mansion who can help you, otherwise you wouldn't be alone."

Jia Yuanchun lowered her head slightly and remained silent, but the handkerchief she held tightly in her hand still revealed her feelings. After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and scattered all the fish food in the handkerchief into the pond. Then he turned his head and asked Jia Lian with firm eyes: "Second brother is really willing to help me?"

The koi in the pond had all eaten and drank enough, and their chubby bellies finally stopped rolling.

Jia Lian's eyes gradually deepened, and he said seriously: "Don't worry, elder sister, every word and every sentence of mine is from the bottom of my heart. If there is anything I can help, I will do my best to help elder sister."

The corners of Jia Yuanchun's mouth raised slightly, feeling warm in his heart.Because of the eldest room and the second room, she has never been close to this second brother, and she knows very little about this brother. She only heard that he was young and temperamental and liked women, and later heard that he didn't like official career and chose to go into business. .Right now, it seems that these rumors are true or false, at least the word dandy cannot be used on him.

Maybe it was really desperate, so Jia Yuanchun told the story of Yang Qian, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. The first part was already known to Jia Lian, and the other part was what happened later.

Although Jia Yuanchun is young, her mind is quite clear when things happen. She believes in Yang Qian's feelings for her. Even if something happens and she can't communicate with each other, he will definitely send someone to inform her. It is impossible to keep silent. There was no news, so the only possibility she could think of was that someone hid all the letters.She thought about it for a long time, and only Qiu'er and her mother, Mrs. Wang, knew about this matter. Qiu'er was responsible for delivering the letter. She had been loyal to her for many years, and she had no reason to treat herself like this.In this way, it is the mother.Originally, she didn't believe that her mother would do those things without telling her, but just a few days ago, her mother asked her to prepare to enter the palace as a draft girl. She also said that as long as she won the emperor's favor, the entire Second Household and even the Rongguo Mansion would be destroyed. All will be proud.She also said that she bears the ups and downs of the Jia family on her shoulders, and there must be no mistakes after entering the palace.

When she heard these words at that time, she was shocked beyond measure, and her heart was throbbing.

She understood that in the eyes of her parents, she was just a tool to protect the family's honor and status.They didn't care at all whether she wanted to enter the palace, or how many dangers there were in the deep palace.

Later, she went to Mother Jia to make the decision for her. Naively, she thought that Mother Jia would love her dearly, but she didn't expect that her crying only got her a light sentence from Mother Jia.

Entering the palace to be favored by the emperor is the only destination in your life.

After hearing this sentence, she was disheartened and lost all thoughts.

She can't fight against Jiamu, let alone her family, all she can do is obey Jiamu's wishes, go to the place where no one can see people and spend this life in pain.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, I will find a way to inform Mr. Yang of the situation." After listening to Jia Yuanchun's narration, Jia Lian also sighed in his heart.Originally, he planned to help Jia Yuanchun mainly because he wanted to divert Mrs. Wang's attention. Compared with himself, she must be more worried about Jia Yuanchun's marriage, so she has no time to stare at him anymore.But after hearing Jia Yuanchun's suffering, he thought of her future ending, it was really pitiful to die in the palace at a young age.

Now that he's here, try to change the ending, which can be regarded as helping others.

Jia Yuanchun's eyes lit up, but the next second his face was full of sorrow, "Tell him what to do, grandma won't agree."

At this time, Jia Lian already had a countermeasure in his mind, but there was one thing he had to be sure of, "Let me ask you, elder sister, do you really think Mr. Yang is a beloved man who can grow old with you forever?"

Although Jia Yuanchun didn't know why Jia Lian asked such a question, he still nodded firmly and said, "I believe him."

A few words will suffice.

The next day, the Hall of Beauty opened.Jia Lian still started publicity some time ago, and the central content of the publicity is the four words unique.Many girls and women feel that it is very novel when they hear that all the jewelry styles of the Hall of Beauty are made in one piece, because no one likes the jewelry they buy to be the same as others.

On the first day of opening, the crowd at the entrance of the Hall of Beauty was even larger than the day when Wangshui Pavilion opened.Many people who often go to Wangshui Pavilion to play board games threatened to join in the show when they heard that Jia Lian opened a jewelry shop nearby. Some bought for their mothers, and some bought for their wives.

"Mother, look at the gems inlaid on this jade bracelet are so beautiful."

"It's true that all the jewelry is not the same, it's so beautiful!"

"The price of such beautiful jewelry is not very expensive, let's buy a few more!"

"The pendant on this necklace is so unique, it looks like a moon."

Because the shop was full of people, Jia Lian had no choice but to stand outside the shop, Xing'er beside him said, "I thought I would have to pay for two babysitters this time, but I didn't expect so many people to come."

Jia Lian smiled: "There was nothing I could do about Wangshui Pavilion at that time. After all, this street was deserted. Even if many people came, they might not necessarily go in, so I could only find two people to bring the atmosphere. This time it's different. , people will only buy jewelry if they see it looks good.”

Xing'er admired Jia Lian even more, "Second Lord is the most considerate."

In the next few days, the reputation of the Hall of Beauty gradually spread, and many female family members of aristocratic families would send people to buy jewelry, and their reputation became better and better.

Jia Lian also got busy, drawing drawings every day, and his head hurts from drawing.

"Second Master, I have a letter from you!" Xing'er hurried into the office and put a letter in front of Jia Lian.

Jia Lian gently rubbed his temples, and glanced at the envelope on the table. After seeing the name on it clearly, he paused, and then quickly opened the envelope.

After reading what he admired, Jia Lian showed a faint smile, and then told Xing'er, "Prepare the carriage, and I will go to Hongyun Building for lunch at noon."
