Honor Hall.

Jia Lian glanced at Jiamu's face quietly, and then returned to normal in the next moment, and said with a natural expression: "Grandmother really is getting younger and younger as she lives. Look at her complexion and spirit, even my mother can't compare."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a cold light flash across his cheek.

Jia's mother wanted to reprimand Jia Lian, but when she heard this, she felt very good, and her anger became less.If Jia Lian compares others with her, she may think that Jia Lian is glib, but Jia Lian just said that Mrs. Xing is not as good as her, so she thinks this must be the truth.When she thought about looking down on the Xing family, she felt that she would not be able to get on the stage anywhere, and that being able to marry into Jia's family was due to her blessings in her previous life.

It's just that she was comfortable in her heart, but she refused to show it on her face, "Don't coax me, an old woman." Then, her tone became cold: "You said you want to do business, but I didn't ask you carefully. I'm relieved from the bottom of my heart. But I didn't expect you to be as confused as your father, and you didn't let me worry at all. "

Jia Lian was shocked: "What does grandma mean by that?"

Mother Jia snorted coldly: "What do you mean? You know your father is addicted to gambling, and you just don't want to warn him, but you still want to open a gambling shop!"

The fat on the old lady's cheeks trembled a few times in anger, and Jia Lian's face was covered with spittle after she spoke. Jia Lian raised his hand to wipe his face but didn't dare, and finally gave up struggling, allowing Jia's mother to give a long speech and distort the facts.

"Although our family is not related to the emperor, we are also a famous family, and the most important thing is reputation. You said that your business is not good, so you have to open a gambling hall. It will be good in the future, and the fat will not flow to outsiders, and your father will save it. If the money is thrown outside, you father and son will stay in the gambling house and make trouble together!"

Seeing that Jiamu had come to an end, Jia Lian said seriously: "Since grandma called me over to ask questions, she just wanted to know the real situation. I understand how grandma feels. Since grandma asked, I must tell the truth. Although I don't know who it is I told my grandmother that I want to open a gambling house, but this is absolutely nonsense, it is slander! My father is addicted to gambling all day long, and I have been persuaded many times to no avail. I am deeply heartbroken, how can I open a gambling house? Just bought a shop, and the business has not yet started, how can it become a gambling house. Grandma, don't listen to the villain's slander and wrong her grandson!"

These words of the villain's slander pierced Jia's mother's heart, and this villain was Mrs. Wang.It's no secret that she prefers the second son's family in the mansion. Although she thinks that Jia Lian must not know that it was Wang who told her about it, she still feels a little uncomfortable hearing her grandson say that about the second daughter-in-law.But when Jia Lian said that he didn't open a gambling house, her tone softened a lot, "If I wronged you, I wouldn't call you here for questioning. It's just that there is no wind without waves, and you must have done something that is misunderstood." , let me also hear these rumors." She never mentioned who that villain was.

"Grandmother, don't worry, my grandson is a person who knows good from bad and knows right from wrong. He will definitely not do anything that dishonors the family's reputation. Originally, I wanted to talk to grandma after I made some achievements, but today grandma asked, then I I will also explain to you what business I want to do." Jia Lian did not intend to ask Jia Mu to tell Mrs. Wang, because it would only make Jia Mu even more unhappy.The only thing he couldn't figure out was that although Mrs. Wang was at odds with the eldest family in her heart, she never showed it, and there should be no complaints behind her back. Besides, Jia Baoyu is still a milk baby, so it is unreasonable to say that she did this for Jia Baoyu .

But soon, he knew the reason.

After Jia Lian personally promised that she would not open a gambling house, Jia's mother had nothing to say. As for what business Jia Lian wanted to do, she was even more indifferent, "Forget it, you are old enough to have your own opinions. A lot of interference."

"That won't work. I have to reassure grandma. I'll explain it to you in detail."

Mother Jia: "..."

In the next hour, Jia Lian introduced his board game business to Jia's mother emotionally.He knew that Mrs. Jia didn't understand a single word, so it didn't matter, so he also said it, and she would listen to Mrs. Wang's words and talk about his business later.

After listening, Mother Jia asked in a daze, "How did you come up with these weird ideas?"

"Grandmother doesn't know, I like to read travel notes from various places. I read these in books. I thought that being alone is worse than being happy with others, so I extracted what was said in the book and designed a new gameplay. Jinling There must be no such shop, so it is very novel. I assure you, I will pay back the 50 taels of silver that I gave to my second aunt that day, within two months."

Mother Jia didn't know much about what she heard, but she didn't want to delve into it. She was tired of hearing it long ago. As for the words of 50 taels of silver, she listened to her heart, "I'm very pleased that you have this kind of heart. But I still have one I have something to tell you."

Jia Lian had a bad premonition, "Say it."

"You are not young now, and you are starting to do business. You must have someone to help you. Your second aunt's niece is good. I met her once. She has a good appearance and a bright personality. good match."

Jia Lian: "..."

It turned out that Mrs. Wang had this idea. She first complained to Mother Jia, and then took this opportunity to recommend her niece. Later, she took the title herself. Her niece is the hostess of Jia's mansion, and her status as Mrs. Wang will not to be shaken.

This wishful thinking is really good enough.

But he is not the real Jia Lian, and he will not be deceived by Mrs. Wang's conspiracy, let alone be fooled by her niece's beauty.Besides, how old he was, he was still a teenager, so he couldn't even talk about marriage.

However, people in ancient times married early, and the reason of being young cannot be evaded.

"It's the grandson's fault that the tired grandmother is worried, but the grandson doesn't want to start a family yet."

Mother Jia was taken aback, then frowned and said, "You've reached your age, so there's no reason why you can't start a family. Besides, you're wasting your own time, and you can't let the girl from the Wang family spend it with you."

The implication is that Jia's mother has taken a fancy to Wang Xifeng, so Jia Lian must marry Wang Xifeng.

Jia Lian sighed, and his face was clouded with sorrow, "It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't start a family now. Everyone in the house knows that I started a business, but it takes a lot of energy and time to do business. I can do it. I am alone now, and I am married to Miss Wang and I can’t take care of her. I blame myself so much. As a man who stands upright, I can’t do such an irresponsible thing.”

Mother Jia was a little anxious, "You don't need to pay for all the expenses of getting married. You just have to live with your wife and go. It's not as powerful as you said."

Jia Lian raised his head, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "That's different, how can I let my family follow the busy schedule by marrying a daughter-in-law, and contribute money and energy. Then I'm too unfilial! Of course, I mainly For the sake of Miss Wang, the Wang family is also a well-known family. Now that Miss Wang is marrying in, it is inevitable that someone will say that she married a worthless dude. Husband and wife relationship."

"Nonsense, you are just playful and afraid that someone will control you." Jia's mother said so, but she was also analyzing Jia Lian's words in her heart, and she suddenly felt that what Jia Lian said was not unreasonable, "I'm waiting for you to complete the business. But don't spend three to five years, then I, an old lady, won't follow me."

Jia Lian smeared honey: "You are not old at all, you don't look like my grandmother at all, but like my mother."

Mother Jia felt good, she smiled and nodded Jia Lian's nose, "You are the only monkey who can talk!"

For a while, the atmosphere became more cheerful, and Jia's mother left Jia Lian to eat before letting him go back.

In the next few days, Jia Lian has been busy decorating the shop and making board game props. It seems that the weather is calm, but in fact, he has a decent person to observe everything secretly, and he will not let the slightest disturbance go away.Fortunately, his prudence was rewarded, soon Rui'er caught the person who had been following him all this time, once he was caught, he took him to the shop to meet Jia Lian.

At first, this person was stubborn and refused to say anything, but Jia Lian used a tael of silver to pry his mouth open, and the moment he got the silver, he confessed everything.

He said that his name was Xu Tieniu, he lived in a small village in the suburbs, and he was a distant relative of Zhou Rui's family, but they had lost contact with him many years ago.Some time ago, Zhou Rui's family suddenly found him and gave him a sling of copper coins to let him follow Jia Lian and inquire about everything about Jia Lian, no matter how big or small, and tell her everything.

"Second Master Lian, I've said everything I need to say, just let me go, and I promise I'll never follow you again!" Xu Tieniu stood beside him bent over, with a fawning expression on his face.He took Jia Lian's two taels of silver, and Zhou Rui's family's penny was nothing in his eyes. In the end, it was Lian's second master who was generous.

Jia Lian snorted coldly: "Let you go? You spread rumors about me, and you expect me to let you go easily?"

As Mrs. Wang's confidant, what Zhou Rui's family did must be instructed by Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang is not stupid, she also knows that she can't use the people around her, but the distant relatives of Zhou Rui's family.It's just that Xu Tieniu's mouth was not reliable at all, so he turned around and confessed to Zhou Rui's family.

Xu Tieniu stomped his feet anxiously, "I don't dare to spread rumors about you, I just tell my aunt what I saw and heard!"

Jia Lian slammed the table, and the lid of the teacup jingled, "The facts are in front of you, but you still refuse to tell the truth! Could it be that you are not the one who said I want to open a casino? Which of your eyes saw that I was going to open a casino? Who told you that I'm going to open a casino? Isn't this a rumor?"

Xu Tieniu's eyes grew bigger and bigger, and finally he said in shock: "What casino, when did I say this? Did your aunt tell you?"

Jia Lian narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Tieniu, seeing that he really didn't look like he was lying, so he softened his tone, but the majesty on his face remained unchanged, "Then how did you tell your aunt? If you dare to lie to me, I will hold you Go confront your grandmother and see if she can spare you!"

Xu Tieniu didn't dare to hide a word anymore, and quickly told Jia Lian everything he had said to Zhou Rui's family.Indeed, he only saw Jia Lian often coming to this street, and knew that he wanted to open a shop, but he just didn't know what kind of shop he wanted to open.So after Jia Lian left, he inquired about Du shopkeeper, and heard that it was a chess and card hall, so he conveyed the exact words to Zhou Rui's family.

Jia Lian believed this explanation, because Xu Tieniu didn't need to lie to him.So Mrs. Wang described the chess and card hall as a gambling hall, in order to make Jia's mother feel that he is not doing his job properly, so as to recommend her niece Jia's family.

Mrs. Wang's method is not clever and wicked.

Jia Lian fell into deep thought for a while.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't say a word, Xu Tieniu repeatedly assured that he was absolutely not lying, and hoped that Jia Lian would not escort him to Jia's mansion.Although he didn't know why Zhou Rui's family asked him to do this, but looking at Jia Lian's face, he knew that something good must happen, he must have offended Jia Lian.If he was escorted to Jia's mansion, he didn't know if he would be ordered to come out again, "Second Master Lian, please let me go, at worst, I will return the money to you, I don't want it anymore."

Jia Lian came back to his senses when he heard the voice of asking for forgiveness, and said slowly: "Don't say anything about today's matter, you will follow me in the future, and you can inquire about whatever you need to inquire about. It's just that what you say to your aunt in the future is not up to you to decide. , as long as you do what I say, I will give you another tael of silver and save your life. But if you obey the law..."

Although Xu Tieniu was not smart, he was not so stupid that he couldn't understand the meaning of Jia Lian's words, "Although she is my aunt, we are really distant relatives, and she has been ordering me around for so long, I don't want to listen to her anymore. Instructions to do things. The second master put his heart in his stomach, and I will definitely obey your words!"

Jia Lian raised the corner of his mouth, showing a satisfied smile.
