The Second Young Master of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

In the 18th year of Hongzhi, the emperor enshrined the concubine Jia as the queen, and named the third prince born by the queen as the prince. Jia Lian was named the Marquis of Chengen because he was the queen's elder brother.

Moving into the brand-new Hou's mansion, Jia Lian felt it for a long time, but there was no surprise on his face. On the contrary, the new Mrs. Hou, Wang Xifeng, kept talking about how the second room lost the Jia family's ancestral title. came back.

Jia Lian didn't refute his wife's words, but he was thinking in his heart that the title of Marquis of Cheng En was not earned by them. In terms of merit, it was also for welcoming the Spring Festival. , it will be his turn.

On the contrary, his position as Minister of the Household Department was earned through his own hard work.After all, the emperor was seriously ill and the prince was young, so putting him in such an important position was not to cause trouble for the prince.

That night, Jia Lian had a dream, a very strange dream.Jia Lian in the dream, as a bystander, saw his life experience.

The first half of the dream is no different from Jia Lian's real life.He is the second son of Jia She, the great master of the Rongguo Mansion. His mother, Zhang, comes from a scholarly family. His grandfather Jia Daishan specially asked him to marry him.

Jia Lian had an elder brother named Jia Hu, and their brothers' names were all given by their grandfather.Jia Lian had never met a brother whose name matched his own, because when Zhang was pregnant with Jia Lian, Jia Hu slipped and fell into the lake while playing in the garden, and unfortunately died at the age of four.At that time, Mrs. Zhang was seven months pregnant, and after this blow, her fetus was very angry. Although she managed to save the child, her body was also severely damaged. After giving birth to Jia Lian, she collapsed and died.

Jia Amnesty and Fa's wife had a good relationship, so it was inevitable that they would not like to see Jia Lian. When the old lady saw that the big house had lost its mistress, she took Jia Lian to her and kept her by her side.

Later, Jia She married his second wife, the Xing family, a woman who was far from the Zhang family in terms of knowledge and family background.The old lady was worried about Xing's raising Jia Lian, so she continued to keep him.

Jia Lian had heard too many stories about stepmothers abusing her original spouse's children from nurses and maids, and she had no problem with that. The second uncle and second aunt are so nice, and he doesn't care about him. If he returns to his father, he will definitely be like Jia Zhu. He is forced to study by his second uncle every day.

When Jia Lian grew up, her second aunt Wang was the matchmaker, and she married her niece Wang Xifeng as his wife.Wang Xifeng's personality is sharp and bright, but her appearance is bright and beautiful. When the two were newly married, their relationship was very harmonious.

But later, Wang Xifeng helped his aunt to house the house, was busy with Jia's family, and even lost the son they had been looking forward to for a long time because of this, and Jia Lian himself couldn't bear to be lonely.

Gradually, the content of the dream began to be inconsistent with Jia Lian's memory.

In the dream, Lin Ruhai died young, and because he had no children, he entrusted his family property and his only daughter to the Jia family. However, the Jia family won the millions of Lin's wealth and built a beautiful Grand View Garden, but they refused to marry Dai Yu, forcing her beauty to wither...

Yuan Chun entered the palace, first as a female historian, then as the concubine of the Ninth Prince.When the sage abdicates and the nine princes inherit the throne, Yuan Chun will become a virtuous concubine, and the Jia family will reach the pinnacle of eminence...

Jia's family was almost exhausted, and the housekeeper Wang Xifeng couldn't make ends meet, so she used the monthly money in the house to give away interest, and relied on the power to force her to withdraw from the engagement, resulting in her death...

Wang Xifeng is tossing around at home, Jia Lian is not to be outdone, so he fools around outside, the country is filial to the family, so he dares to marry the second wife privately...

All of the above together constituted the crimes committed by the Jia family when they ransacked their homes.Looking at the absurdly out of shape "Jia Lian" in the dream, Jia Lian finally woke up in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, fortunately...

This is a dream, just a dream, the reality is a little scary, Jia Lian patted his chest, still a little scared.

Looking at the sleeping wife next to him, and thinking about the woman in the dream, Jia Lian lost all sleepiness, got up quietly, walked to the window, and stared at the moonlight outside the window in a trance.

Jia Lian didn't understand why he had such a strange dream, whether it was a warning or a reminder.

But since he had dreamed it, he couldn't help but make a comparison, when did the difference in the dream start.

Jia Lian traced back the memory and finally stayed in the time when Sister Lin came to Beijing.

Unlike the rush in the dream, Sister Lin came to Beijing after her aunt's filial piety had passed, and she was not alone, she brought two half-brothers with her.

At that time, Jia Lian didn't think that the arrival of the Lin family siblings would have much to do with him, maybe it was because there were a few more children in the family and how much money they could spend.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Lin had a lot of friends, and when Lin's cousin went out to visit, he unexpectedly met his mother's cousin Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang asked Lin Jin to bring a letter to Jia Lian, asking him to meet.Jia Lian was deeply surprised. After his mother passed away, the Zhang family had no contact with the Jia family, and no one asked him why he was remembered again after all these years.

Accidents are accidents, Jia Lian still went to the appointment, not for anything else, but for the momentum of the Zhang family in the court.

Jia Lian's late grandfather, Zhang Yu, is today's teacher. He is highly respected and has many students. The three uncles are also prosperous in official positions. The eldest uncle Zhang Chenglin is the second assistant of the cabinet, and his promotion to the first assistant is just around the corner.

When Jia Lian first heard this from his friends, he couldn't believe it. It's incredible that his natal family is so prominent.

It's just that no matter how prominent the Zhang family is, it has nothing to do with him. After Jia Lian was surprised, he put this matter behind him.

It's not because Jia Lian is lofty and disdainful of the power of the foreign family, but that since he was a child, the Zhang family has never sent anyone to see him, and the old lady and second aunt often say that the Zhang family is not good, saying that they are indifferent to Jia Lian .

After all, Jia Lian was born as the son of everyone. No matter how good his parents are, but they don't recognize him, so there is no reason to be cheeky.

It was different when the cousin posted the post, he definitely had no reason not to keep the appointment, the worst thing was to maintain the status quo, in case someone in the Zhang family had a whim and thought of him as his nephew.

Jia Lian went to meet Zhang Yang purely with a speculative mentality, and didn't want the two to meet, but Zhang Yang scolded him instead.

Jia Lian immediately became unconvinced. Since when did he refuse to see the members of the Zhang family, it was clear that they had never been there, okay? There are also things sent by the Zhang family. How could he not want them? He never thought that his private house had too much money .

The more the two talked, the more something went wrong, and they both felt wronged. If Zhang Yang realized something, he suddenly didn't say anything, and dragged Jia Lian back to Zhang's house.

Zhang Yang is the youngest son of Jia Lian's third uncle. His father has been released from his post and is the governor of Fujian. He is studying in the Imperial College and followed his uncle in Beijing.

Zhang Yang took Jia Lian home and brought him directly to his uncle Zhang Chenglin.Zhang Chenglin was very excited when he saw Jia Lian, and said that he looked like his younger sister who died young, and that Zhang Yu and his wife would be very relieved to see Jia Lian grow up.

Jia Lian was not an idiot, he had doubts when he spoke to Zhang Yang before, but seeing Zhang Chenglin revealing his true feelings, he confirmed his thoughts and called his uncle and aunt repeatedly.

After staying in Zhang's house for a long time, Jia Lian finally figured out the reason of the matter.It turned out that the Zhang family didn't care about him, but after Zhang's death, they sent people to Jia's house to see Jia Lian, but the old lady tried to stop them, and the things they sent were always sent back.

Zhang's scholarly family has the most backbone. His in-laws don't want to see him, so how could he take the initiative to come forward? As for the grandson, he is also the grandson of Jia's family.

The old lady and the second aunt could lie to themselves, but the words of the uncle and aunt may not be unreasonable. Jia Lian returned to Jia's house, checked carefully, and finally had to admit that his grandfather's family were really good people.

After all, the old lady has always been partial to the second wife. If he, the eldest son's son, is close to his wife's family, what else can they do.

Recalling the innocence of his childhood, Jia Lian really wanted to slap himself twice. He was young and ignorant, he didn't like reading and was fond of playing. If he were a serious and responsible parent, no one would force his children to learn, but the old lady and the second aunt would Indulge him, let him be happy.

Obviously, their purpose was to raise themselves up and use them up, but this alone was not enough. The second aunt also married her niece over, which made her and her father completely divorced, and followed the second room wholeheartedly.

Zhang Chenglin saw that Jia Lian only had the false title of an acquaintance, and he was wrapped up in the general affairs of the Jia family all day long, and he looked ugly, so he asked him if he wanted to find a real job, but if this was the case, he had to leave the capital and go to other places to develop.

Jia Lian was greedy for the prosperity of the capital, and thought that he would inherit the title in the future, so he hesitated for a while.

Zhang Chenglin didn't force him either, saying that whenever he thought about it, he could come to him again.After talking about Jia Lian's future, Zhang Chenglin talked about Zhang's dowry, and asked Jia Lian if he ever took over.

Jia Lian was at a loss when he asked, did his mother leave him a dowry? He had never heard of it.

Zhang Chenglin was furious when he heard the words. Mrs. Zhang is Zhang Yu's old daughter, and she has been loved by the whole family since she was a child. Carrying is full.

Mrs. Zhang left early, and these things belonged to Jia Lian. In the past, when Jia Lian was young, it was normal for Jia Amnesty or other members of the Jia family to supervise them, but now that Jia Lian has grown up, it is time to return them to him.

Jia Lian, who was spoiled and spoiled since childhood, has only two hobbies in his life, one is beauty, and the other is money.

Hearing that the Zhang family still had a huge dowry left for him, Jia Lian was excited, and Guan Zhang Chenglin asked for the rubbings of the dowry list, and hurried back home.

Zhang's dowry is not in the hands of Jia She, but the old lady is in charge, and the specific management is under the watchful eye of Mrs. Wang.

Seeing Jia Lian asking about her mother's dowry, the old lady did not refuse, and asked Mrs. Wang to hand over to Jia Lian as soon as possible.After all, the old lady is not short of money. When she was in charge of her daughter-in-law's dowry, she was afraid that her son would spend too much, so she had no intention of being greedy.

As for letting Mrs. Wang run the business, there is no other way. After all, the old lady is too old to manage so many things, but she asks Mrs. Wang to keep accounts for her annual income.

Handing over the dowry is not a complicated matter. The furniture and antiques are all dead objects, which are locked in the warehouse. They are just the ledgers of a few shops and farms, and it can be completed in half a day, but Mrs. Wang's face shows Hesitant look.
