[Red House] Second Master Liangshang Lian

Jia Yingchun took a bite of the malt candy, dangling her short legs in mid-air, and waited until the malt candy in her mouth was finished before saying, "I don't know how to kick shuttlecock."

"Let them teach you how to kick."

"They taught me, but I still can't learn it. They say I'm stupid and don't want to teach me anymore."

Jia Lian frowned indiscriminately, seeing Jia Yingchun looking at him, he felt a little sympathetic, and his eyes gradually warmed up, "Second brother, can I teach you?"

Jia Yingchun blinked and shook her head silently for a long time, "I'm stupid, I can't learn."

Jia Lian pursed his lips and remained silent. He liked children, but he didn't know how to coax them. In his opinion, he was still a child now.To say that Jia Yingchun is really pitiful, Jia She doesn't care about her, even her own father ignores her, let alone Mrs. Xing, a stepmother.But now, the servants are neglecting her. If the girl wants to kick the shuttlecock, even if she can't kick it well, she has to play with her. There is no reason for the servants to play happily and let her watch.

Jia Lian coughed twice, and two people not far away heard the sound and immediately dropped their shuttlecocks and trotted over to salute Jia Lian, "Second Master."

Jia Lian didn't give them a good look, but said in a deep voice, "Leave my second sister here, you'll be happy to kick it."

Even people who didn't care much at first knew that Jia Lian was unhappy when they heard this. Jia Yingchun's wet nurse couldn't understand why Jia Lian was unhappy, but she didn't dare to offend Jia Lian, so she smiled and said, "Second Master, don't you?" I know, Second Miss doesn't like to kick shuttlecocks, so Qing He and I let her eat sweets here, you can see how happy Second Miss is."

Jia Lian glanced at them coldly, her voice was not the slightest bit warm: "Anyway, you also change her clothes, the cuffs are all faded."

Jia Yingchun's wet nurse, surnamed Sun, is not bold but not young. Because she was sent to Jia Yingchun by Jia's mother, she is very mean.After Jia Yingchun was weaned, she still wanted to go back to Jia's mother, but Jia's mother forgot about her, and she suppressed her anger in her heart, so she poured it all on Jia Yingchun.She couldn't beat her and scold her, so she was lazy and negligent in Jia Yingchun's food and clothing.

Nurse Sun was impatient, but she still had a smile on her face: "Second master doesn't know, the clothes of the second girl have always been sewn by the aunt herself, but the aunt died shortly after she passed away last year, and the madam didn't deliberately Tell us how to take care of the second girl, so we can't blame us for this."

Jia Lian became angry, "How dare you use your mother as an excuse for not being able to do things well? According to what you say, it is all the mother's fault. Could it be that the mother deliberately treated the second sister harshly?"

It's abhorrent, to treat a child who is only a few years old like this when his mother is gone.At most, Mrs. Xing just let her go. It should be impossible to specifically ask Nurse Sun to treat Jia Yingchun harshly.Apparently, this wet nurse thinks that Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing don't care about it, so she is even more lazy and slippery.

These words are serious, and Qing He on the side has long been frightened and crying.

Nurse Sun was also in a hurry and explained repeatedly.

"Qinghe, you take your second sister home first, she eats maltose all over her body, you wash her up." Jia Lian saw that Qinghe was only in her teens, and she is still a primary school student at this age, presumably she is just playing around. , unlike this wet nurse, who is cunning.

When Qing He heard that Jia Lian not only didn't scold her but also let her go first, she immediately stopped crying and took Jia Yingchun's hand to leave.Just as Jia Yingchun took a few steps, she suddenly threw off Qing He's hand and ran to Jia Lian, stretched out her small hand and tugged at Jia Lian's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, don't be angry."

Jia Lian's heart softened, he rubbed Jia Yingchun's little head, and said gently: "Okay, second brother won't be angry anymore. Tomorrow second brother will teach you how to play shuttlecock and draw, okay?"

"Okay!" Jia Yingchun rolled her eyes and followed Qinghe away.

Seeing that Jia Yingchun was gone, Jia Lian regained the iceberg face just now, "Did you hear me, bring my second sister to the small pavilion in the garden at this time tomorrow."

Nurse Sun had a mournful face, thinking that she just said she was not angry anymore, isn't she still angry? I have never seen the siblings get close before, why is Jia Lian so concerned about Jia Yingchun now?

"Did you hear me!"

Nurse Sun was so frightened that she quickly replied: "I heard it!"

"I won't tell my mother what happened today, if you let me know that you are not good to the second sister, see how I punish you, and then I will let my grandmother kick you out!"

"Don't dare, don't dare again!" Nurse Sun was so anxious that she was about to cry.

After dismissing Nurse Sun, Jia Lian returned to the pavilion, still worried.Nurse Sun dared to be so bold because she saw that Mrs. Xing didn't value Jia Yingchun, but when Mrs. Xing greeted Jia Yingchun, the servants dared not take Jia Yingchun seriously.So in the final analysis, the root of the problem is Mrs. Xing.So it is useless to just warn Nurse Sun, the key point is to solve the root of the problem.

And Mrs. Xing didn't care about Jia Yingchun because Jia Amnesty and the original Jia Lian, her parents and brothers didn't take care of her. She must think that she doesn't need to take care of her as a stepmother.

He wants to reform Jia She, but there is no good way yet.But he can let Mrs. Xing know that his elder brother still cares about Jia Yingchun.

"What is the second brother thinking? He looks preoccupied."

I don't know when Jia Yuanchun came to the pavilion.

Jia Lian came back to his senses, but he didn't say anything about Jia Yingchun, "It's nothing, it's just that something is not going well in the shop."

Jia Yuanchun: "I can't help you with the things in your shop. If you have any problems that you can't solve, you can go to Young Master Yang for help. You have done us such a big favor. We are grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts."

Yang Qian?

Jia Lian thought about it and thought this was also a solution.

"Elder Sister, you are getting married soon, and I don't know what gift to give you, so I made a set of gem head masks. I drew the style myself. I don't know if you like it or not." Jia Lian pushed the box to Jia Yuanchun as he spoke. before.

Jia Yuanchun opened the box, and the first thing that caught his eye was a lot of sparkling rubies. The design of each piece of jewelry was very unique, and it was worth a lot of money at first glance. thing."

Jia Lian: "Eldest sister's marriage is a big event, and I was worried that you would not like this gift. I don't know how much dowry grandma and second aunt bought for elder sister, it must be very generous."

As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, she regretted it. Mrs. Wang didn't know, but Jia's mother had already hated Jia Yuanchun, so why would she want to add such a generous dowry to her.

Sure enough, Jia Yuanchun's eyes became a little disappointed, "My mother loves me so much, so she didn't be harsh on the dowry. I am already satisfied that she can do this. As for my grandmother, she is still angry with me. She said that the dowry is as long as As long as you can live with face, you don't need to enter the palace, so you don't need to deal with the palace people."

Jia Lian had no choice but to say: "Grandmother is getting older and her ideas are becoming more stubborn. Eldest sister doesn't need to think too much, as long as you live a happy life in the future, that's enough."

After a few words, the two left the garden.

In the next few days, Craftsman Dou still didn't get any mussels. Even if he went to the aquatic product store before dawn, it was useless, so he simply closed the shop and ran to the aquatic product street. He waited from dark to dawn, but did not see the two Burly man.Later, the shopkeeper of a seafood store couldn't bear it, so he told him the truth.It turned out that the two burly men had already given a lot of silver taels to the fishery shops, so that all fishery shops were not allowed to buy, and they would bear all the losses.

Craftsman Dou became angry immediately, and scolded the shopkeeper for being immoral.Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper was even more wronged than him, saying that he had nothing to do. Those two people seemed to be easy to mess with. He and the other shopkeepers were ordinary people, so they couldn't compete with powerful officials.

When Craftsman Dou heard that the matter was not that simple, he hurriedly reported it to Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian heard that the mastermind behind the scenes was not another jewelry shop, he couldn't figure out who was going to punish him for a while.

But soon, Yang Qian helped him find out something happened.He sent someone to find the two burly men, and followed them for several days, and only then did he find out the clues.It turned out that these two people were servants of the palace, Wang Ziteng's entourage.

This matter has something to do with the Wang family?Could it be that Mrs. Wang said something?But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. Mrs. Wang had worked so hard on Jia Yuanchun's marriage recently, so she shouldn't have the time to punish him. But if it wasn't because of Mrs. Wang, why would Wang Ziteng have trouble with a junior like him?He is also a high-ranking official, would he do such a flawed thing?

And he didn't remember that he had offended Wang Ziteng.

Just when he was frowning, Yang Qian helped him a lot.

Yang Qian's maternal grandfather's family is in Suzhou. His ancestors made their fortunes in the aquaculture industry. Later, in his generation, he passed the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, he went to high school, and later became a fifth-rank official in Suzhou. Even so, But his maternal ancestral family did not stop the water production business.

All in all, Jia Lian will send people to Suzhou every half a month, and it will be enough to ship a few boxes of mussels back to Jinling. As for the price, Yang Qian said that he can lower the price, but Jia Lian did not agree. Whatever the price is, there is no need to lower the price because of their friendship.

Pearl's problem was finally solved, but Craftsman Dou was busy with business in the shop and didn't have time to go to Suzhou, but this was a very important matter after all, so Jia Lian sent Xing'er and Wang'er to go there.

At noon, Jia Lian came to Mrs. Xing's yard with a gemstone ring selected in the shop. Mrs. Xing was preparing to eat, and when she saw Jia Lian coming, she asked him to eat.Jia Lian smiled and said that she had already eaten, and then put the small box containing the ring in front of Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing's eyes lit up when she opened the box, and she was very satisfied with the ring, "I know you are filial, but unfortunately I am not as rich as your second aunt, so I really can't help you, let alone in front of your grandmother. talk."

"Mother, don't say that. It would be too unfilial for me to ask my mother for help in everything. However, since mother said so, I have something to tell you. I don't know if you agree."
