[Red House] Second Master Liangshang Lian

The author has something to say:

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

As soon as he entered the Hongyun Building, a waiter trotted over, "Second Master Lian is here, may I ask whether you are going to eat in the private room or on the second floor?"

Jia Lian used to come here to eat often, so the shopkeeper and staff of Hongyunlou knew him.

"Is Mr. Yang here? Where is he?"

The clerk clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Yang. He has been here for a while and is sitting in the private room. I will take you there."

Jia Lian followed the clerk to the door of the elegant room. The clerk took him and left. Jia Lian opened the door and entered. The first thing he saw was a brocade figure from behind. Hearing the sound, the figure stood up and turned around.

He is a handsome young man, about the same age as himself, although his lips are not as red and white as his own, but his brows are bright and he looks like a man without a city.

"Young Master Yang."

"Young Master Jia."

The two sat down facing each other after greeting each other.

As soon as he sat down, Yang Qian couldn't wait to ask: "What happened to Miss Jia? I write to her every month, but I haven't received a reply from her for several months. During this time, I have been worrying whether my The letter has troubled her, if I hadn't received your letter yesterday, I even wanted to pay a visit."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "I didn't mention what it was in the letter. How does Mr. Yang know what I want to say about elder sister?"

Yang Qian's expression froze, seeing that Jia Lian was just joking, he said in an embarrassing manner, "I don't know the second son of Lian, isn't it obvious why you sent me a letter all of a sudden, Miss Jia must have told me about her and me. I told you. I don’t know if the elders of the Jia family don’t want her to marry me, a little colleague?”

"Mr. Yang is serious. Your father is a first-rank official with a high position and authority. How can you be willing or not." Jia Lian's words were really not polite.Although Yang Qian is only a fifth-rank acquaintance, his father is a first-rank official of the imperial court. The position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry holds real power, so even if Yang Qian's rank is not high, it will not affect his rights and status. He is still young, and in a few years, he will be able to get a high-level position no matter whether it is based on his own strength or Yang Shangshu's right to speak in the court.

Furthermore, Jia Zheng is just a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, and in the final analysis, he is only a deputy official of the Ministry of Industry, a subordinate of Yang Shangshu. Leaving aside the glory of the entire Rongguo Mansion family, he only talks about the second wife of the Jia family. What does Jia Zheng have? The qualifications despise Yang Qian.

But even so, Jia Zheng would not agree with Jia Yuanchun marrying Yang Qian.Because his purpose has always been only one, and that is to let Jia Yuanchun enter the palace as a concubine.

In his eyes, how could Yang Qian be compared with the emperor.

"Why is that? Could it be Miss Jia..."

Seeing Yang Qian's expression, Jia Lian knew what he was guessing, so he hurriedly said, "Mr. Yang, don't think too much. Eldest sister is not married yet, and she is devoted to Mr. Yang. It's just that the letter you wrote, elder sister, did not receive it." , all of them were taken away by my second aunt, and the elder sister was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do about it. Because the second aunt felt sorry for the elder sister, and the elder sister was kind and gentle, the second aunt was afraid that she would be bullied by her in-laws after she married, so she did not mention it for a long time. As for her marriage issue, in my opinion, as long as Young Master Yang reassures Second Aunt, she will agree to the marriage."

Hearing this, Yang Qian was moved and blamed himself, "I did not do this right. I should have come to propose marriage earlier and let the elders know my intentions. How about this, I will order someone to bring the marriage with me tomorrow. My Geng Tie went to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage, no, I should go in person!"

Jia Lian quickly shook his head and said, "Mr. Yang, don't be impatient. This matter is not so easy. Even if you propose marriage in person, so what, will this allow my grandmother and second aunt to see your sincerity? I'm afraid that Mr. Yang will be killed by that time." Splashing a pot of cold water will not only disappoint the elder sister, but Yang Shangshu will also be embarrassed in writing."

Yang Qian frowned slightly, and said a little discouraged: "This is neither that nor that, what should I do according to what the second son of Yi Lian said?"

Jia Lian didn't answer Yang Qian's question, but suddenly asked: "I heard that Yang Shangshu had to do everything by himself in order to successfully complete the project of Chaotian Palace. Now that the project is completed, will the emperor reward Yang Shangshu?"

Yang Qian didn't understand why Jia Lian changed the subject suddenly, but when he thought that whether he could marry Jia Yuanchun would depend on Jia Lian's decision, he had no choice but to reply honestly: "It should be, my father has contributed a lot this time. The emperor has already praised father in front of all the officials, presumably the decree of reward will come down soon."

Jia Lian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "In that case, then you will tell Yang Shangshu to let him go to the emperor tomorrow, and let the emperor take back all the rewards of gold, silver and jewels, and exchange them for other rewards."

Yang Qian frowned first, and said puzzledly: "Why is this? Such a violation of the holy will may annoy the emperor..." At this point, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly realized: "Wait, your It means to ask my father to ask the emperor to give me a marriage! When my father is being reused, I think the emperor will readily agree to give him a marriage."

It seems that Yang Qian is not that stupid, he can understand everything.

Jia Lian said with confidence: "Second Aunt can reject anyone's marriage proposal, but can she resist the decree? Besides, if the marriage is bestowed by the emperor, it will be of great significance. Grandmother and Second Aunt should feel at ease."

Yang Qian patted his thigh excitedly, and said loudly: "What a good idea! Very good!"

Unexpectedly, he would be a month old when he came to this world, Jia Lian felt a little funny in his heart.

Back at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian told Jia Yuanchun about asking Yang Shangshu to invite the emperor to marry him. Jia Yuanchun agreed to this, because she couldn't think of any other way.It's just that she is still a little worried about Jiamu and Mrs. Wang. If she violates Jiamu's wishes, she may no longer have a foothold in her natal family after marriage.

It didn't take long for the emperor's imperial decree to come down.

That day, the emperor sent two eunuchs to the Jia Mansion and the Yang Mansion to announce the decree. Needless to say, the Yang Mansion, especially Yang Qian, was so happy from ear to ear. When rewarding the eunuchs, he was even more generous. Weighing the gold ingot in his hand, he smiled happier than Yang Qian.

In contrast, apart from Jia Lian and Jia Yuanchun, no one in the Rongguo Mansion was happy. If the eunuch who announced the decree was not still standing there, Mrs. Wang might cry. Jia Zheng lowered his head and looked down. Gloomy, let alone Jia's mother, she suppressed respect on her face, but she was trembling with anger.That gaze stared at Jia Yuanchun like a knife.

After the eunuch finished reading the last sentence to choose a date to marry, Jia Yuanchun respectfully knelt on the ground and took the imperial edict with both hands, with no surprise on his face.

"I want to congratulate Miss Jia, who doesn't know that Yang Shangshu is capable of writing and martial arts, and he is handsome, and he really matches the girl." The eunuch squeezed his throat and congratulated.

When everyone stood up, Mrs. Wang's legs were limp. If the maid beside her hadn't helped her up, she might have fallen on her back and made a big joke.

Fortunately, Mother Jia was still a little sensible, and immediately asked the maid to reward the eunuch after she recovered.

The eunuchs who can be ordered to leave the palace to announce the decree are all people who are worthy of the emperor's side, and they cannot be neglected.

When the eunuch received the reward, he first weighed it, and then his expression froze, with disdain in his heart.In the eyes of this eunuch, this is not an ordinary declaration, it is a marriage bestowed by the royal family, what an honor, but this family does not seem to be very happy, and even the reward is only decent for face.

After the eunuch left, Mrs. Wang finally couldn't help crying.Jia Zheng gave her a disgusted look, then sat down on a chair sullenly, his face livid.

Jia Amnesty wanted to go to the gambling house as soon as possible, and didn't care about the marriage at all, but Mrs. Xing felt mixed joy and sorrow. The joy was that if Jia Yuanchun didn't enter the palace as a concubine, then the long house would lose its prestige in the future, let alone Don't think about relying on Jia Yuanchun's power to control everything in Rongguo Mansion.What is worrying is that only Jia Yuanchun has reached the draft age in the Rongguo Mansion. Although the long house and the second house are not on the same page, she still understands the truth that one prospers and the other loses. Jia Yuanchun represents the glory of the entire Jia mansion. This honor is somewhat beneficial to the long house's future.

Looking at Mrs. Wang's expression, which was uglier than eating shit, Mrs. Xing felt relieved for a while, and she was more happy than worried.Although Jia's mother never said it clearly, no one in the house knew that Jia Yuanchun was going to enter the palace in the future, especially the people in the second room, who would always mention it from time to time, for fear that others would not know.Why don't you just send your daughter into the palace to be a concubine? If you don't want to be a queen, so what if you marry the emperor? To put it bluntly, she is just a concubine.

It's good now, isn't this the fifth watch song, it's too early to be happy!

Even though she wanted to gloat now, she really didn't have the guts to have Mother Jia present.But this doesn't affect her happy mood at all, she doesn't speak, just watch the play quietly.

"How could this be...how could this be..." Mrs. Wang didn't care about her face, she couldn't hold back her airs anymore, she cried and muttered to herself, as if she had received a big blow.

Mother Jia remained silent for a while, and her expression gradually softened.Just when Jia Lian thought she had accepted the reality, Jia's mother suddenly walked up to Jia Yuanchun and slapped Jia Yuanchun in the face.

This slap was very loud, it made Jia Yuanchun's eyes red, and Madam Wang stopped crying suddenly, and looked at Jia Mu dumbfounded.

Even Jia Zheng, who has always been prudent, showed a surprised expression.

"Did you already know that?" Mother Jia asked with a stern look.

Everyone looked at Jia Yuanchun, Mrs. Wang's eyes were full of disbelief, she never believed that this would be planned by Jia Yuanchun, Yuanchun is so obedient and sensible, how could he go against her will!

One side of Jia Yuanchun's face was swollen quickly, and one can imagine how hard Jiamu's slap was.

Jia Lian also didn't expect that Mother Jia, who was always kind on the surface, would be so ruthless. Since he was the one who came up with the idea, he had to say a few words, otherwise he was afraid that if Mother Jia became unhappy, the other half of Jia Yuanchun's face would be swollen.

"Grandmother calm down, this matter..."

"I did know about this for a long time, and I was the one who gave the emperor the idea of ​​the marriage." After finishing speaking, Jia Yuanchun looked at Jia Lian, "This is my own decision, and it's none of anyone's business. Second brother kindly wishes me I understand, but you don't have to defend me. I did something wrong. I shouldn't have told Yang Qian to find a way to ask for the imperial decree without telling my family. Grandma should be angry. I have no complaints about this slap. It's just me I don't regret making this decision, because I don't want to trade my whole life for your glory and wealth."

Jia Lian's words were interrupted by Jia Yuanchun. He knew that Jia Yuanchun didn't want to involve him in this matter. After all, she didn't have many chances to come back after getting married, and he had to continue living here.

Jia Yuanchun wanted to thank him for helping her.

At this time, Jia's mother shouted angrily: "You bastard! You are getting more and more courageous. You dare not even listen to my words. It's the opposite of the sky! Since you were born in Jia's family, you should know how to repay your kindness. I will give Jinyi After more than ten years of jade food, in the end, he raised a white-eyed wolf!"

Now Mrs. Wang cried even more fiercely, pointing at Jia Yuanchun and said: "You have no conscience, how can you say such a thing? What's wrong with being the emperor's concubine? Why don't you want to? You have to be angry." I'm willing to die, right!"

Jia Yuanchun had expected this result a long time ago, but when the facts were in front of her eyes, her heart still couldn't restrain the pain. This is the family she has always trusted. From the announcement to the present, no one sincerely wished her Happiness, they only think about the interests of the family, but her life is nothing.

That's good too, in this way, she will feel less guilty and worry less.
