The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

At first, Zhen Yingjia didn't pay much attention to Su Lan, and most of the officials in Jiangnan were subdued by him.There are also a few people who toasted and refused to eat fine wine, using Su Hanshan's method of sending their children to avoid disasters. Since they want a child to be safe, naturally they will not tell their children those secrets that will bring them a fatal disaster.Ask Zhen Yingjia to say that Su Lan doesn't know anything about officialdom.

It wasn't until there was a message from Suzhou that Su Lan had disappeared for no reason, that Zhen Yingjia was frightened and lost her soul.Not only did they keep an eye on Lin Ruhai more closely, but they also stepped up inspections at various ports of departure from the province.Naturally, Zhen Yingjia found nothing.

But Daiyu suddenly found out the whereabouts of Miaoyu and Liu Xianglian, and she felt emotional.In the previous life, like them, I was an orphan without father and mother, each with its own quirks.For example, Miaoyu's self-proclaimed aloofness, Liu Xianglian's unrestrained appearance, and her own hurt in spring and sad moon, although the appearances are different, each has its own suffering inside.

But what Daiyu didn't expect was that the parents of the three might have lost their lives in the same official strife.And the father of Miaoyu and Liu Xianglian are both admirable and loyal people.In this life, Miaoyu's parents are irreparable, but her parents are still alive, and Liu Zheng and his wife are still well, no matter what, they must fight hard against the Zhen family.

Ever since she learned that Su Lan had been accepted into Baoqingtang, Daiyu was full of thoughts; Lin Ruhai also had her own thoughts.

Afraid that Jia Min would think too much when recuperating, Lin Ruhai didn't completely hide the official affairs from Jia Min. Jia Min felt that the Lin family was in danger and worried too much.

After dinner that day, the husband and wife dismissed the servants, and Lin Ruhai picked up some things about Su Hanshan and Liu Zheng and told Jia Min.

After Jia Min listened, she sighed: "I remember that Mrs. Su is only a few years older than the master, and Mrs. Su has only the most gentle temper. I didn't expect Mrs. Su to be so stubborn that she was killed like this. The master said that Mrs. Su settled in Liu Langzhong's family? With Miss Su's status, it is always reassuring to enter the capital safely, does the master have any arrangements?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "We don't need to worry about it, Master Liu has made his own arrangements." Then he told Jia Min about Liu Zheng.

Brothers Liu Zheng and Liu Xing have been living in their ancestral home, Jia Min doesn't know it, but when it comes to Li Guogong's mansion, Jia Min is most familiar with it.The four princes and eight princes are all connected with relatives, and Jia Min often visited these honorable families back then.

"I didn't expect Liu Langzhong to have such a background. Back then, I was a guest at Duke Li's mansion with my mother. I vaguely heard from the elders that there are outstanding children in Duke Liu's family. It's just because they are thousands of miles away that I haven't seen them. Thinking about it now, This is Master Liu. Since Master Liu was on guard in Songjiang Mansion, how could he be involved in the private salt case in Yangzhou Mansion?" Jia Min sighed.

Lin Ruhai said: "Songjiang is close to the sea, so there are docks for foreign boats to go out to sea; there are occasional pirates harassing the people along the coast. When Mr. Liu Zheng was in Quanzhou Prefecture, he was the best at dealing with pirates, which made the pirates frightened; When we arrived at Songjiang Mansion, we also beat up a group of pirates, but seized a large amount of salt, but there was no salt. It turned out that the pirates were pretending to be private salt dealers. In this way, Lord Liu and the salt owl formed a relationship Later, Master Su died in office, and Master Liu had a very deep friendship with Master Su, but he felt that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, so Master Liu sent his wife and children to the capital, and simply gave it a go."

After hearing this, Jia Min sighed: "So there are so many reasons. From this point of view, Master Liu is a strong man. It's just that Master Liu said that he had formed a relationship with Yan Xiao. Who doesn't know that the person behind Yan Xiao is the real Dashuo?" Rat, Mr. Liu's move is unavoidable."

Lin Ruhai sees this level better than Jia Min, "Ma'am, what you said is wrong. Madam can see through things. There are so many learned people in the court, and the saint has ruled the world for more than 30 years. Can you not understand it? Not only the saint understands, but those The people behind Yanxiao also understand. Lord Su, Lord Liu, like me, are all transferred to Jiangnan from other provinces. This is a sign that the sage wants to win over the power in Jiangnan. How can those people tolerate Lord Liu. Even if Lord Liu is in Songjiang, Just like me, I have to deal with it."

Jia Min was originally intelligent, and he knew everything. He said bitterly: "Jiangnan is already a first-class rich and honored place. Those people are not satisfied. They even have to earn money that is prohibited by the national law. They are really greedy. Let Miss Su be safe. Send them to the capital, and then catch all these rats in one go."

Lin Ruhai said she was right, and softly comforted her wife not to worry too much. The most dangerous moment has passed, and it's time to fight back.Although the specific plan was not disclosed, Jia Min felt relieved after hearing it.

The husband and wife talked about some official affairs, because the Lin family was closely watched, even if Jia Min wanted to spy on Su Lan, he was afraid that Su Lan's activities would be revealed, so he had to give up.

After a few days like this, Lin Zhong and his wife who went to the capital for the Dragon Boat Festival came back.The husband and wife arrived in Yangzhou in a hurry, and hurriedly sent people home to report.

It happened that when the messenger boy came back, the Lin family was relaxing in the backyard.Ever since Liu Xing began to recuperate the body of the Lin family, he talked about the benefits of exercise, and now the whole family spends time walking around the backyard every day.

After listening to the woman in charge, Daiyu said that besides Lin Zhong and his wife, there were also several people from the Rongguo Mansion who came with her, so she asked, "Who is the person sent by my grandfather's family?" The woman in charge returned the truth and said It's the second master Lian.

Daiyu laughed when she heard this.

The last time the Rongguo Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter to the south of the Yangtze River, the purpose was for Lin Ruhai to speak well for Yuan Chun in front of the Crown Princess, but that was still something to ask, except for Zhou Rui, they only sent two third-class servants.The person who came back this time was the grandson of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, and he was a close man.You must know that Jia Lian went to Jiangnan in the previous life to deal with the Lin family's family business for many generations, and it was of great benefit; the first time he brought him to the capital, only two third-class servants came.

Daiyu just asked casually, but Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were also angry when they heard this.His husband and wife are naturally not angry about the past life, but the Lin family is obviously angry with the second wife, and Jia Lian, a eldest son of the eldest son, came to wipe his ass, this Rongguo Mansion really behaved badly.

Annoyed is annoyed, my natal nephew came back to Yangzhou for the first time, and I still want to see him.The Lin family glanced at the homely clothes on their bodies, and each went to change.

When Jia Lian arrived, it was already noon, and then he sent word that the old lady had arrived in the upper room, first to greet Lin Ruhai and his wife, and then to meet Daiyu's sister and brother.This was the first time Jia Lian saw his cousins, but for Daiyu, it was a meeting of acquaintances.

Ask Daiyu to say that this cousin is not considered a very gentleman, but he can be considered a bit of a bottom line among a bunch of soft-boned men in Rongguo Mansion.At least, in the case of the stone nerd, this cousin disapproved of threatening and falsely accusing the stone nerd with a few fans; another thing is that the Laiwang couple took a fancy to Caixia and wanted to propose marriage to their son, and they asked Jia Lian and his wife. I agreed, and later I heard that Laiwang's son is not a person who eats wine and gambles, so he also disapproves of this marriage.It can be seen that even if he grew up in a place like Rongguo Mansion, this cousin's heart is not very bad.

Daiyu was thinking about her previous life. Jia Lian had already kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and his wife before standing up. Jia Lian was naturally born very well, but her face was already slightly greasy.

The Lin family is all looking at Jia Lian, especially Jia Min and the Zhang family who are very close. Seeing that Jia Lian is tall and tall, with a jade face and eyebrows, high nose and handsome eyes, he vaguely looks like his elder sister-in-law Zhang, but there is no part of Zhang's original body. Wen Qi, on the contrary, was a bit slick at such a young age. He was very emotional in his heart, and said lightly: "What's the matter with Lian'er coming to the south this time?"

Jia Lian didn't realize that this aunt whom he hadn't seen for a long time had an imperceptible dislike for him. He only thought that Jia Min's words were cold because of his poor health. Did you say that your aunt is ill? Lian'er came here without stopping, the ancestors, the master, and the wife all missed my aunt very much, so they ordered me to come and visit." Because the Lin family just slapped the second room, Jia Lian didn't mention the second room.

Jia Min heard this, and said with a half-smile: "I'm fine. Since I've seen it, I'll go back and tell my mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law as soon as possible, so as not to worry them."

Jia Lian was used to being mixed up in the Ningrong Second Mansion, and this flattery with a smiley face was always good for her. Who would have thought that her aunt, whom she loved so much when she was a child, almost choked to death the moment she met her after seeing her for seven years.

Seeing that the smile on Jia Lian's handsome face froze suddenly, Daiyu couldn't help covering half of his face with a handkerchief, but she smiled with crooked eyebrows.

When Jia Min hit a soft nail, Jia Lian scratched her head in embarrassment: "That's not true. Lian'er naturally came to see her uncle and aunt, and also her cousins, but the old ancestor also arranged other important matters."

Only then did Jia Min's expression soften, and he said: "It's a long journey from the capital to Yangzhou. It's hard for you to travel such a long distance at such a young age. I'm afraid you'll be tired on the journey. Go and have a rest first. I'll wait until you have some thoughtful words." It’s not too late to talk after eating. If you want to do something in the south, whoever you want, you can tell me, even your uncle. If there are any dishes you want to eat, or places you want to visit, you can also tell me.”

After hearing these words, Jia Lian immediately thought of how her aunt treated her in the same way when she was young, speaking softly and caringly.Ever since my aunt was released with my uncle, no one treated me like this anymore.My father shouted at me, my stepmother didn't care, my grandmother loved my grandchildren, but I couldn't surpass Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, and when Baoyu came later, everyone had to back off land.

Thinking of his childhood, Jia Lian put away his usual tactful demeanor and said with a smile: "The ancestors indeed ordered my nephew to do something important, but there is no rush at this moment. My nephew will go to rest first. , Come back later to talk to my uncle and aunt."

Jia Min stood up, adjusted Jia Lian's collar, and said with a smile, "Go, let's relieve fatigue first."

Jia Lian should have gone out, the guest room has prepared hot water for him to take a bath to relieve his fatigue.From the capital to Yangzhou, the journey of more than ten days was boring on the boat, and he was sweating all over in the scorching heat. Jia Lian felt very uncomfortable early on. Seeing Jia Min's thoughtful arrangements, his heart warmed.

It's just that after the girls of the Lin family prepared their clothes, shoes, socks, soap, etc., they all withdrew.Jia Lian was taken aback, thinking that the rules of a scholarly family are indeed different. When at home, which man is not a pretty girl who waits for the bath?

After Jia Lian left, Lin Ruhai smiled and said to Jia Min, "Those things have nothing to do with Lian'er, so why should you scare him. Lian'er was stunned by what you said just now."

But Jia Min sighed lowly, and said: "When we left Beijing, Lian'er seemed to be fine. We haven't seen each other in the past few years, and she has become so smooth-tongued. I don't know what her mother's family has become now. We know each other clearly. It was annoyed that the Wang family had nothing to do with the elder brother. The mother knew it and went in, but she just sent Lian'er to Yangzhou. Why did he take care of a grandson of the eldest family to do such a thankless job. I see him as a substitute Rending the vat didn't realize it, and felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but want to hit him all of a sudden."

After all, Jia Min is the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion. Seeing the appearance of the future Xijue, how can he support the lintel, he must feel anxious.

After hearing this, Daiyu sighed inwardly: In the previous life, the second wife took over the lawsuits and exploited them with huge profits. Didn't they all use the name card of the eldest son?Although Wang Xifeng also got involved in these things later, but in the end, he did not have as many sins as Wang's, and his crimes were not as serious as the second house, but the long house was first found out, and Cousin Lian did indeed cover the vat for others.

Lin Ruhai knew what his wife was worried about, and persuaded him: "Since Lian'er is here, let's stay with him for a few more days, first to ask about the situation in Beijing, and second, to mention a few words about Lian'er. Lian'er is only a weak crown, and he looks shrewd , Presumably no one taught him these things, if someone reminded him, he might not be able to understand."

Jia Min sighed: "That's all I have to do. I'm really ashamed to talk about those things about my natal family. Not only did Hu'er go, but even my married daughter was almost harmed. When my father is here, I can be more restrained. After my father has gone , I don’t know what the trouble has become these years.” Speaking of this, Jia Min couldn’t hide the worry on his face.

Jia Min on this side was still worrying about Jia Lian's future, while Jia Lian on the other side felt that her aunt's concern was a bit warm that she hadn't seen for a long time, but she was still unaware of Jia Min's good intentions. The servant came in and took out the tub, and then another servant girl came in with an ice basin, lit the incense, and left again.

Jia Lian was exhausted from the boat and the car. He couldn't sleep well on the boat, and he was indeed tired. Now there was a hint of coolness in the room, and the smell of incense was not strong, but refreshing, so he fell asleep on the bed.

This sleep was very sound, half an hour before dinner, Jia Min sent a maid to call.The servant girl woke up Jia Lian, and after bringing the washing water, she backed out again without helping Jia Lian change her clothes.It turned out that the rules of the Lin family were different from those at home, but it made people feel more comfortable.

Jia Lian tidied up and went to the upper room, and saw Lin Ruhai and his wife were sitting on the upper room, but Daiyu and Lin You were standing by, obviously waiting for him.Jia Lian hurriedly saluted, and after Lin Ruhai sat down, Daiyu and her siblings also sat down together.At this time, Lin Ruhai and his wife talked to Jia Lian in a pleasant manner, asking about the situation in Beijing, whether Jia Lian and his wife were in harmony, and what they were busy with every day.

Speaking of other things, it's okay, Jia Lian is already smart in quarrels, and he responds decently, but when it comes to errands, Jia Lian really can't handle it. "Lian'er donated a co-prefect two years ago, but she didn't take up the post, she only had a false title. Now she's doing some household chores at home."

Two years ago, when Jia Lian got married, he donated an official on his body at that time, which looked a little better.But in the end it was a bad day.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min nodded. They had correspondence with the capital from time to time, but the letters did not detail these common affairs. They just asked about the situation of the mother-in-law who sent the letter every time, and the old friends who traveled to and from the capital. Inquire about the situation of Yi Er Rong Guo Mansion.They all knew this, and the two of them also felt that this was not a good thing for the family.It's just that one is a son-in-law and the other is a married aunt, so they don't care about it.

Now, in Jia Min's words, the Wang family of the second room has become enmity with the Lin family, so we might as well give some support to the first room.Firstly, the eldest house can suppress the second house; secondly, Jia Min doesn't want to see her mother's family destroyed in the hands of the second house.Even if personal enmity is not discussed, the Linjia family is still in-laws, after all, both will suffer.

"Did you take care of general affairs, socialize and entertain, and exchange gifts? Do you have the key to the warehouse?" Jia Min still asked with a pleasant face.

Jia Lian has been doing this for two years, and after several experiences, she is no longer as thin-skinned and shy as she was two years ago, but when Jia Min asked about this, Jia Lian still couldn't help but blushed. "Second Aunt holds the keys to the warehouse now. Feng'er and I are young, but we are just learning how to handle errands. How can we hold the keys now."

Jia Min nodded, seeing that it was almost time, she said: "You are young, and now you have a family again, and there is an old woman on top, my aunt should not have said you, but since you are here, I will say something Mouth, whether you can take it to heart or not is up to you. Eat first, and then talk after eating."

So, he ordered the meal to be served.

Because Daiyu was young and Jia Min was the elder, there was nothing to avoid about this meal. The whole family and Jia Lian were at the same table.After the meals were prepared, the maids withdrew, and there was no one in the Lin family who specialized in serving dishes.However, some hot dishes do not taste good after being served cold, so they are served one by one after the meal is served here.Jia Lian saw that the portions of the Lin family's dishes were not large, but the dishes were rich, most of them were light dishes, but the taste was extremely delicious.While eating, I sigh in my heart that Huaiyang cuisine is famous all over the world, and it is really exquisite.

After the meal, Jia Lian searched for space and brought up the gift list.

Originally, when Jia's mother was in the hall, the gifts sent by the Lin family to the capital were sent to the Rongguo Mansion, and the gift givers of the Rongguo Mansion ordered the Lin family to bring them back.This time, since Jia Lian went to Jiangnan in person, he brought the Dragon Boat Festival gift and the Mid-Autumn Festival gift together, as well as a gift from Jia's mother to Jia Min.

Jia Min glanced at the gift list and handed it to Daiyu, this time there was no second room to return the gift.This was originally expected by the Lin family, and no one cared.

After reading the gift list, Jia Lian had also rested enough, so Jia Min asked about the situation in Beijing.

When he first arrived at Lin's house, Jia Lian was robbed by Jia Min, but he quickly dismissed it. At this moment, he still didn't realize that there was something wrong with running errands for the second room as a future raider. It's nothing more than those in the letters, and the Lin family knows it too.

When Jia Lian was resting in the guest room, the Lin family had already read the letter brought back by Lin Zhong, confirming that Nanny Chen had harmed the Lord.Now when asked about the trivial matters of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Min casually asked, "Lian'er has been married for two years, does Feng girl believe it at all?"

Sister Feng was originally very beautiful, but now she and Jia Lian are a young couple, and they have a very good relationship. It has been so long that there is no movement at all.Jia Lian didn't expect Jia Min to ask this, so he smiled and said, "Not yet, thank you aunt for your concern."

Lin Ruhai and Daiyu pondered for a while, if Wang was able to attack Jia Hu back then, it might not be impossible to attack Jia Lian and his wife now.Otherwise, Jia Hu would be killed, and if Jia Lian's title and family fortune fell to Jia Lian's house in the future, wouldn't all the previous work be in vain?

Because of Daiyu's presence, Jia Min didn't ask any further questions.

Fortunately, Jia Min didn't ask any more questions, and Jia Lian quickly changed the subject, saying: "The old ancestor received a gift from his aunt before, so he was very happy, but the old ancestor thought that the aunt had been released with my uncle and was far away from the capital all these years. If there is any misunderstanding, or my uncle and aunt heard some slander, they sent my nephew here. The ancestor told me that if my aunt has a grudge against her family, I must explain it clearly so that my uncle and aunt don’t misunderstand. " After speaking, he glanced at Daiyu and Lin You.

Although Lin Ruhai and his wife did not regard Daiyu as a child for a long time, and even did not shy away from Daiyu in official affairs, Jia Lian was not from his own family after all, so Jia Min ordered Daiyu's maidservant to come in and take the two sisters into the house. After going down, he dismissed the servants in the room again, and then he said with a smile: "How can there be any misunderstanding? It's just that I was confused before, but now I want to understand something."

Since Jia's mother sent Jia Lian to settle the peace, she naturally didn't hide some things from him, not to mention that in Rongguo Mansion, the servants lacked rules and couldn't hide it from others.Although Jia Lian and Sister Feng only take care of the daily chores at home, they are very well informed about the news in the mansion.

Seeing that Jia Min had dispatched his servants, Jia Lian directly said what Jia's mother had told him: "Uncle and aunt are elders, and there are some things that I should not say as a junior. It's just that now that the old ancestors have age, I will take the place of the elders." When the ancestor made this trip, he naturally wanted to bring the meaning of the ancestor to him, if he said something bad, uncle and aunt, don't blame me."

Both Lin Ruhai and his wife nodded with smiles.

Jia Lian continued: "The old ancestor said that the aunt had nothing to do after marriage. She was more anxious than anyone else. Even if the old ancestor had to employ people, there was no one who was not dedicated. There are several beggars. Mammy paid a lot of effort to find out. Mammy Lai's sister will never try to harm my aunt, this is one of them.

In addition, the ancestors were also extremely anxious when they heard about their cousin falling into the water.But my aunt is thousands of miles away from the capital, even if there is a servant who didn't manage the concierge well, so that the slave who betrayed the master found a gap, beat, sold or killed, don't let the family be separated because of this.We are close relatives of flesh and blood, after all, we must support and help each other.This is the second. "

Because Jia Lian was the nephew of Jia Min's family, Lin Ruhai seldom spoke when his aunt and nephew talked.After hearing this, Jia Min sneered, and asked in a rather earnest tone: "Lian'er, do you believe in the words that you want to support and help each other if you are close relatives?"

Jia Lian knew that he had no skills, but he believed it since he was a child, otherwise he wouldn't have let the Wang family run the house, and his husband and wife obeyed orders without any dissatisfaction.So Jia Lian said frankly: "That's natural. Since ancient times, hasn't it been like this in the clan?"

Jia Min asked again: "Then your real uncle has returned to Beijing, how many times have you visited him? Have you ever helped each other with your uncle's cousin?"

Jia Lian choked suddenly.

When Jia Hu fell into the water, Zhang's childbirth was difficult when Jia Lian was born. The Jia family and the Zhang family had a very bad quarrel, even Lai Chang, the chief executive at that time, was handed over to the Zhang family for execution, and the two families naturally separated.

Fearing that Jia Lian would lose her mother, and then her natal family completely cut off contact with Jia's family, Jia Lian was tortured by others, and when Mrs. Zhang was alive, Zhang's family still had contact with the eldest house.Later, the Rongguo Mansion did something very excessive.

It stands to reason that after the wife's filial piety, the Rongguo Mansion wants to renew Jia Amnesty, although they should tell the Zhang family, the Zhang family will not be very obstructive.But Mrs. Xing's family background is indeed lower, and I don't know if the Jia family was worried that they would disagree with the Zhang family or something else, and they didn't inform the Zhang family when they continued.

This is a severe slap in the face of the Zhang family.Originally, Xu Xian was supposed to be a concubine to his first wife, but now that Xu Xian enters the house and doesn't know how to meet his first wife's family, what is the difference between not recognizing his first wife's status?Since then, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Jia family has become even weaker.

Later, Mrs. Zhang passed away, and his son was released after he kept his filial piety, and the two families cut off contact.But two years ago, Zhang's eldest son was transferred back to the capital, and now he has become the Minister of Rites.

Although the two in-laws have become enemies, Jia Lian is the direct son of the Zhang family after all, and has nothing to do with the grievances of the previous generation.If Jia Lian wanted to go to pay a visit, Zhang Shilang might not be able to recognize him, but Zhang Shilang was tired of Jia's family and drove Jia Lian out. As a junior, Jia Lian couldn't bear this kind of grievance?

Jia Lian's face was flushed, and she whispered, "Isn't uncle refusing to recognize me? Why should I make trouble for myself? My aunt is not the same as my uncle's family."

Jia Min thought of his elder sister-in-law, sighed, and said softly: "Speaking of which, my discord with Mrs. Wang has nothing to do with you being a junior. You can come all the way to Yangzhou for the sake of your ancestors." Mediation, why can't you go to Taifu Zhang's house to resolve the misunderstanding between you and your uncle? Now that you are married, you should have your own opinions in daily communication. I'm not mentioning it, you should think about it yourself."

These few words couldn't penetrate Jia Lian's heart for a while, but they were enough to shock Jia Lian.Seeing Jia Lian's thoughtful look, Jia Min stopped talking.If Jia Lian was smart, he would naturally beat the drum without a heavy hammer; if Jia Lian was stupid and stubborn, he would be inseparable from each other, and talking too much would be useless except to annoy others.

Jia Lian pondered for a while before laughing and said: "My aunt educates the younger generation, and my nephew dare not refute it. It's just that the situation of my nephew and uncle's family is different from other families. How can it be compared with a family like ours that walks around every day? My aunt only cares about the pain of the ancestors. In the face of my aunt, how can I bear to make my ancestor sad."

Since Jia Min mentioned Jia Lian, she stopped entangled in this issue, and changed the subject and asked: "Lian'er, you also think it's my aunt, don't you?"

"This..." Jia Lian was stunned, held back for a long time, and only said, "My nephew doesn't dare."

Jia Min laughed with a snort, and joked: "Tell me, why did mother call you here? It's just for these few things, there is absolutely no need for Er Ye Lian to run errands."

Jia Lian then said: "The old ancestor said that now the king of Ruijun wants to accept his side concubine, and he also asks his uncle and aunt to do his best..."

"Nonsense!" Before Jia Lian could finish speaking, Lin Ruhai stopped him.It is a big taboo to meddle in the affairs of the royal family, especially the fact that Ruijun Prince's House accepted the side concubine was originally promoted by people with ulterior motives.Not to mention the Lin family, anyone with some political wisdom will not interfere in this matter.

Jia Min kept talking to Jia Lian in a pleasant manner, but Lin Ruhai stopped abruptly, startling Jia Lian.Jia Lian hurriedly looked back, but heard Lin Ruhai say: "If a girl from a noble family wants to enter the palace, she can participate in the selection in an open and honest manner. How can she go this way. I live in Lantai Temple officially, just because I heard that If other families take such an unscrupulous path, they should also read a book, how can they commit crimes knowingly?"

Jia Lian's studies have been neglected for a long time, and he is not familiar with etiquette. He only thought that his uncle's official residence and inspecting salt censors were first-class vacancies. Even if the Lin family hadn't misunderstood the two matters in Rongguo Mansion, this matter should not be mentioned.

When Daiyu heard this, she secretly sighed in her heart: This Rongguo mansion is too whimsical, after being slapped in the face with gifts from the Lin family, she still has such wishful thinking.

Naturally, this matter cannot be worked out, and Jia Lian has been working on it for two years. Knowing the level of his eyebrows, seeing that what Jia's mother ordered could not be completed, he stopped the topic, talked about other family matters, and then left.

The next day, Jia Lian searched for Lin Ruhai's office and found Jia Min, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Jia Min laughed first, took Jia Lian to the garden, and sat by the lotus pond by herself.It's midsummer now, with lotus leaves in fields and stalks in bloom, Jia Min dismissed all the servants, throwing bait into the lotus pond one by one.

Before Jia Lian could speak, Jia Min stared into Jia Lian's eyes and said, "You don't need to ask, I have not been coerced by anyone, and I have no difficulties, and I have nothing to hide. Your uncle treated me very well, and those gifts you gave to Mrs. I know all about it."

Jia Min finished all the questions Jia Lian wanted to ask in one breath, causing Jia Lian to open his mouth.

I just heard Jia Min continue: "On April 25th this year, Brother Yu stumbled and fell into the lotus pond here. Not only that, but he was also deliberately pushed into the water. If it wasn't for timely treatment...Since then, I have rarely fed it myself. The fish in this pond." When Jia Min said this, he almost couldn't continue, obviously terrified.

Although Jia Lian didn't have any splendid decorations in his belly, he had been clever since he was a child, and hurriedly persuaded him: "My cousin has passed this test, and the great fortune is yet to come."

As a mother, Jia Min naturally loves such auspicious words, her face became better, and she continued: "Since you are here, I will not hide it from you. We found half of the clues about Brother Yu. It's because the person in the gatehouse has close contacts with Mrs. Wang's companion, so we can't blame him for nothing, and we don't know the mastermind for the time being. But I've already finished the interrogation of Nanny Chen's family. Tricked in the middle."

Jia Lian shuddered when he heard this.At that time, my aunt was a married woman. Could it be that the second aunt was really so vicious that she couldn't tolerate my aunt?

"I asked you yesterday, why the nephew and daughter-in-law have not moved after two years of marriage, and it's not a random target."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Lian shivered for the second time in the scorching heat. "No way, Feng'er and I both respect our elders and behave well. How could such a thing happen? The second aunt often praises Feng'er as her right arm."

Jia Min sneered: "If you have no descendants, whose title will it be?"

Just one simple sentence, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, blasted Jia Lian to pieces. "How could such a thing happen? It's about Nanny Chen. After my aunt found out, Nanny Chen must have been instigated by someone? Or someone was greedy for Nanny Chen's family's house-watching errand in the capital, and it's not necessarily a false accusation. "

Jia Min laughed and said: "It's true or not, you have to guard against it. After you go home, you only eat at your parents' place, or cook your own food in the small kitchen, or send your cronies to the kitchen to pick up the meals. No one is called in between." Intervene, take a look at it for a while. Although the children look at fate, but you are now in good health, what if you have it. These words, whether you believe it or not, I just said this."

Jia Lian is still a little confused.

However, Jia Min asked about Jia Lian's knowledge, and persuaded Jia Lian to read more books while he was young, but not to take the imperial examination, at least he should be familiar with the criminal law, and don't get into trouble if he is confused.Then, Jia Min told Jia Lian a few examples of strife in the officialdom and people started from the back house.

Lin Ruhai has been an official for many years, and he has seen and heard many such examples; especially when he was the magistrate in Jiujiang, some gentry and wealthy households would kill you for the sake of their family business. Family title.Jia Min gave a few examples at random, and Jia Lian was terrified when he heard it.

When Jia Min saw that Jia Lian was really scared, she said softly: "Your mother is very knowledgeable about books and etiquette. If she was here, she would not want to see you so poorly educated. You always said that Mrs. Wang is very good to you, Why is it that besides praising you, she is just ordering you and your husband? Zhuer was taught by her husband since she was a child, and she entered the Imperial College when she was fourteen, but is there someone who can plan for you?"

Just now Jia Min told Jia Lian about the case of his uncle and aunt who murdered the eldest son. Now when he asked this question again, Jia Lian recalled his growth experience, and confirmed it one by one. Although his second uncle and aunt were good to him, they did everything for him in front of his grandmother. He said good things, but he always allowed himself to be playful and mischievous, and never pressed himself to improve.However, the attitudes towards Big Brother Zhu, Second Uncle and Second Aunt are completely different.Jia Lian is not a fool, they have been married for two years, even if they do not make progress, they will not be unable to tell the good from the bad, now that Jia Min mentions it, I feel cold all over my body.

"I didn't expect that the second uncle and the second aunt were such vicious people." Jia Lian said.

Jia Min said: "It's good to see through Wang's character early. I haven't met your daughter-in-law, so I shouldn't say anything wrong with her. But I think Wang's style is lawless; everyone says that niece Xiao Auntie, if your daughter-in-law is a good one, that's fine. If she also relies on her power to disregard the laws of the country, you have to find a way to persuade her. Otherwise, you and your father will still have to bear the burden of any troubles in the future. guilt."

Jia Lian didn't dare to take this matter lightly anymore, he should be thanking him, and made up his mind to rectify the family tradition when he returned to Beijing.

Jia Min smiled and said: "Didn't you say yesterday that the whole family should watch over and help each other? How can you be separated from your aunt now? I said these words, whether you believe it or not, don't blame me for instigating your relationship with your family. You just arrived Yangzhou, if you’re bored and panic, go for a walk. Your brother is still young, I can only send you a few proper people, but no one will accompany you. Let’s go for a walk. Although Yangzhou is not as good as the capital, it is still one or two. Waiting for the bustling place, and the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is different from that of the capital city, so there are some places worth visiting. The weather is hot, so go early and return early, and beware of heatstroke."

Before Jia Lian went south, he had already inquired about the delicious food and fun in Yangzhou.Needless to say, Huaiyang cuisine, a wealthy young man like Jia Lian, has long heard that Yangzhou's thin horses are famous all over the world, and made up his mind to see the beauty and gentleness of Jiangnan women, but now he is frightened by Jia Min's words, and unexpectedly Feel meaningless.

Why are you still visiting the Qinlou Chu Pavilion? When Jia Lian returned to the guest room, he first sent his confidant Zhaoer to send a letter back to Beijing, asking Sister Feng to pay attention to her diet, and to take care of her famous post.

When Jia Lian came to the south of the Yangtze River, Jia Lian wanted to go shopping for a few more days. Jia Min also took advantage of this to teach Jia Lian some forbidden areas of the law, what things must not be done, and taught him the way of being a human being and the way of life.Because Jia Lian lost his mother when he was young, no one really planned for him, so he has no skills, but after all, he is the legitimate son of the Taifu's daughter Zhang, and he is quite clever in nature, but he can't see it at all.

Originally, when he first arrived in Jiangnan, Jia Min's attitude towards him was cloudy and uncertain. Sometimes he was kind and gentle, and sometimes he spoke harshly.It wasn't until Jia Min learned the truth for several days that Jia Lian realized that he had grown up so much, and although he was well-clothed and well-fed, he had never been taught so carefully by anyone.

Oh, maybe there is.When I was young, my grandfather also taught me the principles of life, but every time I came back from my grandfather's house, my grandfather was not very happy. Later, when my grandfather passed away, I never went to my grandfather's house.But whenever I went to my grandparents' house when I was young, my uncle treated me very well. No wonder my aunt said that I should not go to my uncle's house.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian couldn't help asking Jia Min about his grandfather's family.Jia Min sighed, and in as calm a tone as possible, he described the process of the grand master Zhang's family and Jia's family from marriage to enmity.Because of Jia Hu's falling into the water, he only killed a few servants around Jia Hu at that time, and handed over the housekeeper to Zhang's family, but the instigator was never found, and Jia Min was not sure that it was man-made.It is only said that the matter has passed for many years, and the two families insist on their own opinions, and let Jia Lian judge by himself.

In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Hu is a forbidden word, and no one has ever mentioned it to Jia Lian; when the old lady Zhang Fu just saw Jia Lian, she felt sad for her daughter and grandson, and Jia Lian was young, so she would not mention it to him, so Jia Lian just now. Knowing that he once had a brother.

At the beginning, when Jia Min told him the words about seizing the heirloom and seizing the title, although Jia Lian was also terrified, he felt faintly in his heart that his aunt had been released with his uncle all these years.
