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

Why did Mrs. Wang hesitate? The reason is very simple. Wouldn't it be a pity for herself if she didn't collect some "hard money" from the property she passed through.

Ordinarily speaking, Shi Taijun took care of Zhang's dowry, but it was an expedient policy for Jia Lian when he was a minor, and he should have full authority to return it when he gets married.

But the old lady was getting old, so she didn't think about it for a while, Mrs. Wang pretended not to know, and didn't remind her. Jia She thought that the old lady would definitely return it on her own initiative, so she didn't tell Jia Lian. As for Jia Lian, she didn't know about it at all, so It was only delayed until today.

Now, Jia Lian knows that the birth mother still has a dowry, and it is impossible for Mrs. Wang not to pay it. But thinking that she has lost some income every year, of course she can't be happy.

Reluctant to return, Mrs. Wang dragged on for two days and asked someone to settle the accounts. She gave Jia Lian the account books of the shop and the farm, and said at the same time that she had managed the accounts for him for so many years. How not easy.

Jia Lian used to trust Mrs. Wang very much. After all, he was an elder who watched him grow up and had a relationship with Wang Xifeng. But after knowing the reason for the breakdown of the relationship between the Zhang family and the Jia family, and the truth about Mrs. Xing's entry, Jia Lian's The idea also changed.

After reading the account book, Jia Lian completely lost his affection for Mrs. Wang and even the whole Second Household.

Zhang's dowry is so rich, not to mention gold, silver and antiques, just a few Zhuangzi, the production is extremely rich, and the location of the few shops is excellent, whether it is operated by itself or rented out to others, the income is very rich.

But looking at the account book handed over by Mrs. Wang, people who don't know the inside story must think that the land of Zhang's Zhuangzi is barren and the store is located in a remote place, otherwise how could the income be so bleak.

Jia Lian is not an idiot, and you can understand the mystery of it after thinking about it. There is no need to tear yourself apart with Mrs. Wang. After all, we are a family, but in the future, we must be far away from the Erfang family.

What annoyed Jia Lian was that he was estranged from the second room, but Wang Xifeng still had a fierce fight with Mrs. Wang, and took care of the housework every day, so she couldn't listen to Jia Lian's words.

After all, she and Mrs. Wang are aunts and nephews, a natural blood relationship, and Mrs. Xing is just a step-mother-in-law, so there is no need for her to rush to serve her.

For this, Jia Lian also had no choice but to look down on Madam Xing because of her low background and lack of knowledge. Naturally, Wang Xifeng was the same, so she reluctantly refused to come.

After that, Yuan Chun entered the palace, first as a female historian, and soon became the concubine of the Ninth Prince. Mrs. Wang was even more proud at home, and kept saying that Yuan Chun was blessed.

Although Jia Lian only has a false title, he has more contacts with his family and understands the overall situation of the court.That is, the sons of the first empress are gone, and there are the seventh and eighth princes who came after him. The ninth prince is at the bottom, and the mother's family is not visible. If you die, you will be a prince.And the Ninth Prince has already had a concubine's son, Yuan Chun will give birth in the future, and it will be the end of his climb to the position of side concubine. How can he catch up with the head mistress of the high family family? What kind of blessing is this.

Not long afterward, the Seventh Prince chose a concubine. Because of his hard-fated character and difficult heirs, the sage and Empress Liu lowered the requirements for the Seventh Prince's concubine.

Because Yingchun's temperament is not suitable, Shi Taijun is not willing to let her run for the election. Mrs. Wang is afraid that Yingchun will overwhelm Yuanchun in the election, so she does her best to oppose it, but Jia Amnesty insists and still puts Yingchun's name on the list.

After several twists and turns, Yingchun finally entered the palace, bearing the title of side concubine but enjoying the treatment of the main concubine.

Jia Amnesty thought that welcoming the Spring Festival into the palace would bring infinite benefits to himself and the Jia family, but who knew that the Seventh Prince gave him nothing except letting the eldest son move into the Rongxi Hall, and instead went to the Jia family to collect the debts. Let them quickly pay off the silver owed to the Ministry of Accounts.

Until Yingchun gave birth to the eldest daughter, none of the male members of the Jia family moved their official positions. Jia Lian immediately understood that the Seventh Prince had no intention of supporting a disabled person, so he asked Zhang Chenglin to find a seventh-rank release, and brought Wang Xifeng and Qiaojie with him. I took office.

Uncle is right, even if you are a relative of the emperor, you can't be useless, otherwise the superiors will use you, and they don't know what you can do.

Apart from his own future, Jia Lian had another important reason for leaving Beijing, which was that he didn't want Wang Xifeng to take care of Jia's middle class.

Don't think that the big house is the serious head of the family, but as long as the old lady is still there, everything is empty talk, and after paying off the money owed by the household department, the Jia family's wealth is almost wiped out. Zhuangzi's future and a few shops can't make ends meet, what's the point of wrapping them in it, it's better to concentrate on having a son and wait for the future.

Sure enough, in the second year of Jia Lian's tenure, Sister Qiao became an older sister and had a lovely younger brother.Jia Lian was very excited and determined to fight for the good life of his children.

Unexpectedly, on the eve of Jia Lian's promotion due to his outstanding performance, the Seventh Prince, who had already become the crown prince, had an accident. Jia's family was confiscated and ransacked, and Jia Lian's official position was naturally dismissed.

To be honest, everyone in the Jia family, including Jia Lian, didn't dare to say it on the face, but they felt a little resentment towards Yingchun and even the seventh prince in their hearts.

Whose family produces a prince and concubine, it's not that they are promoted and rewarded with silver, and the scenery is infinite. It's only their family.

When Jia Lian returned to Beijing with his wife and children, the sage's treatment of Jia's family had already come down. They were all released, and the dowries of the female relatives were returned.

A family that has been rich for several generations suddenly fell down. No one is used to it, and they are not used to it, and it is a mess inside and out.

First of all, the old lady couldn't bear it anymore, and she fell ill. Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang didn't deal with each other, and they had frictions every day, which made everyone feel uneasy.

Jia Lian was so annoyed that he simply suggested that Jia She build a wall in the yard. Anyway, the two of them had already separated, so they should live their own lives, and it was quieter.

The house leak happened to rain all night, and before Jia Lian could sort out the housework, even more bad news came. The nine princes killed their father, the saint was seriously injured, and before his death, the seventh prince was abolished as the crown prince and the eighth prince was replaced.

Killing the king is a serious crime to punish the nine clans, but the nine princes were born in the royal family, and it is unrealistic to punish the nine clans, so they were changed to the Yi clan, and the wife and mother clans were all wiped out. Fortunately, Yuanchun was only a concubine, otherwise the Jia family would be finished .

However, although the Jia family saved their lives, the seventh prince was sent to the northern border by the former emperor, and it would be difficult to recover.

Spring went to autumn, time flew by, only three years later, due to the perverse behavior of the new emperor, the seventh prince came back again and ascended to the ninth fifth place.

Jia Shele was so sad that he suffered a stroke and died soon after. Jia Lian became the head of Jia's family.

Today, women are not good at sex, and the harem is empty. There are only concubine Shu Yingchun who gave birth to two princesses, and concubine Chen who gave birth to the second prince.

The Chen family has been in the army for generations, and Jinpin's father and brother all started their careers with military exploits, and they have made great military achievements. They followed him when he was still in Youzhou. They can be called friends in times of need.

Today, I don't want Concubine Shu's natal family to have no one, and seeing that Jia Lian's evaluation was good when he was released, he was sent to the household department.

Now that I think about it, the person Jia Lian is most grateful to is Zhang Chenglin. If he hadn't listened to him and left Beijing to take up a post, but had been doing nothing in the capital, he might not be able to use him if he gave Concubine Shu some face today.

You know, the two cousins ​​of the Lin family are both Jinshang's confidantes. When Jinshang was exiled to Youzhou, they took refuge in him. In name, they are also Concubine Shu's cousins. Who should I use?

Jia Lian is quick-witted and works hard in the household department. He is also the uncle of the third prince. Shangshu's position.

Looking back on the difference between his own experience and his dream, Jia Lian found that the biggest variable was the Lin family.

In that absurd dream, Uncle Lin died young and had no children. He left a huge family property to the Jia family, and he even took over the property himself.

In reality, Uncle Lin lived much longer and did not pass away until a few years ago. Before his death, his grandson, granddaughter and grandson all saw it, so it can be said that he has no regrets.

The little cousin who died young in the dream turned into two somehow, and they were both smart and capable. first success.

The more Jia Lian thought about it, the more he felt that the cousins ​​of the Lin family were his lucky stars. Without them, he and the Zhang family might never have had an intersection. Hou, how could it be as beautiful as it is now.

Thinking about it further, without the relationship of Lin Jin and Lin Yu, it is still a question of whether the third prince can be the prince, and whether Yingchun can be the queen.

Jia Lian's guess was correct, but it was not deep enough. Tu Feng chose Yingchun back then, there was really Lin Jin's reason in it, otherwise, not to mention the queen and prince, Yingchun would not have entered the palace at all.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian wanted to establish a good relationship with the two cousins.After all, they are not the biological children of the aunt, and they have no blood relationship with the Jia family. The elders of the two families are gone, and the relationship is easy to fade.

After much deliberation, Jia Lian finally came up with the idea of ​​marriage.The Lin family has never had many children, and this is also the case in this generation. Lin Jin has one son and one daughter, while Lin Yu has no children.

Lin Wei is already the crown princess, so don't think about it, but Lin Xun, who is both civil and military, talented, has not yet made a marriage proposal, so he is a good match.In recent years, the threshold of the Lin family has been trampled down by matchmakers. Lin Jin didn't nod in a daze, saying that it would be after Chunwei.

How could it be so easy to get a young Jinshi? Everyone thought that Lin Jin was trying to shirk, but in fact he didn't catch his fancy.

Jia Lian has a young daughter named Jia Kou, who is the same age as the Crown Princess, because the situation of Jia's family has improved since she was born, she has been carefully raised since she was a child, and she is excellent both in appearance and conversation.

If Jia Kou can be promised to Lin Xun, Jia Lian thinks it will be wonderful after thinking about it, and plans to tell Wang Xifeng after dawn, and ask her to ask someone to go to Lin's house to ask.

Regardless of whether the marriage is successful or not, Jia Lian believes that those terrible things in the dream will never happen in his life.
