Youwei, the heir of the Red Chamber

When Zhou Rui's family came to Rongxi Hall, they were stopped outside by two new faces and armed men in Tsing Yi.

"My lord has ordered that without his permission, no one can enter this door."

"Presumptuous, you don't go to inquire, anyone in this house doesn't know my mother Zhou, let me tell you, the old lady asked me to pass on the words, let the old man go to her old man's place now, if there is a delay, pay attention to your words Skin!" Zhou Rui's family put their hands on their hips, pointed at the two of them with a handkerchief and scolded them.

The two burly men kept their faces blank and ignored them, standing guard outside like two door gods.

Zhou Rui's family had no choice but to retreat.

Jia Amnesty had already heard the commotion in the room, and regardless of the troubles, he took the key to the new door of the warehouse and wandered happily in the yard.

The personal servant Liu Da is now a newly appointed official, and now that the master has gained power, he himself has risen.Seeing such a commotion outside, he hurriedly asked: "Master, why don't the slaves deal with it?"

Jia She waved his hand, stroked his dark green silk-cut crane cloak, narrowed his old eyes, and said with a smile: "After all, it was the old lady who asked me to come here, so please show me some face. You go and check on the slaves in the house first." In the last round, everything that should be replaced has been replaced. Master, what I have now is silver."

"Okay." Liu Da responded excitedly, and ran out the door with his feet loose.

After waiting for a long time, Jia's mother saw that Jia Amnesty still hadn't arrived, and was about to let people go again, when Zhou Rui's family opened the curtain and came in with a sad face.He hurriedly asked, "What about Nizi?"

A member of Zhou Rui's family knelt on the ground, "Old ancestor, now the slaves can't even enter the door of Rongxi Hall, and can't see the elder. The two dog slaves said that they only listen to the elder, even the ancestor's." Do not listen."

"Okay, okay." Mother Jia was in a hurry, said "good" twice, and then sat on the chair dizzily.

"Old ancestor." Mrs. Wang hurriedly walked over to help her, and called the maids and maids to put on hot handkerchiefs, calling for the doctor.There was an instant chaos in the Rongshou hall.

After waiting for a long time, Mother Jia finally recovered and cried, "I regret leaving such a troublesome child, but now the one is bullying me."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Old Ancestor, your health is important, let's talk about the rest later."

Mother Jia waved her hand and said to Zhou Rui's family: "Pass on my order, let the boys in the house go and tie up that rebellious son. If he dares to resist, I will personally go to the Holy Master to accuse him of a serious crime of unfilial piety." !"

Zhou Rui's family got the order and hurriedly got up and ran out. Just as they were running to the door, they collided with the old man who had just opened the curtain to come in.

"Ouch." The two collided into a ball and fell to the ground.The mandarin ducks next to him rushed to help Zhou Rui's family.

The old man who just came in was lying on the ground rubbing his waist, crying for pain.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang shouted: "It's not proper to be so noisy. Why don't you hurry up and reply."

The old lady was quick-witted, quickly straightened her waist, and knelt up.Weeping: "Old ancestor, second wife, it's not because the slave is not polite, the slave is frightened."

Jia Mu rubbed her temples and said, "What's going on?"

The old man cried: "The old man sold all the servants and women in other yards, and the old woman is leading the people in front."

"What?!" Mother Jia's forehead became hot and she passed out.

"Old ancestor..." Mrs. Wang and a group of women and maids gathered around, and there was a commotion again.

When Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing got the news, they couldn't be careless. They were worried about being reprimanded by Jia's mother, so they ran to find Jia Lian with fear in their hearts.

When Jia Amnesty came, Jia Lian was painting. Hearing the sound of pushing the door, his hand paused, and a drop of ink dripped on the rice paper, staining it black.Jia Lian put down the paintbrush in his hand and said, "It's a pity."

Jia She hurriedly walked to the desk and said anxiously: "Lian'er, the old lady fainted, what should I do, if there is something wrong, it is a crime of unfilial piety. The current emperor is the one who values ​​filial piety the most. "

Jia Lian calmly put her hands in the clear water, and after drying her white hands, she straightened her sleeves and asked, "With the old lady's concentration, master thinks she will faint because of this matter? Master is too Look down on her old man."

"This..." Jia She thought about it for a while, this old lady is the best at taking care of herself, her body is stronger than her own, it seems that she is not so fragile.But... "But if the old lady stays awake, if the news gets out, the fake will become true."

Jia Lian chuckled, rolled up the picture scroll on the table, threw it into the wastebasket, and said with a smile: "Whether it is a real disease or a fake disease, it must be cured. My son happens to know a Qihuang sage, so why don't you invite me to the house to give it to you?" Look at the old lady."

Jia Amnesty was taken aback, how can this fake illness be cured?

In the evening, Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing, and Jia Lian went to Jia Mu's Rongshou Hall together, accompanied by a white-haired old doctor.

Jia Amnesty tilted his head and took a look, and felt that he was indeed a bit of a fairy.

At this time, in Rongshou hall, everyone gathered together, and Mrs. Wang took care of the bedside herself.

Jia Amnesty gave Mrs. Xing a wink, and Mrs. Xing quickly ran over, pushed Mrs. Wang aside, and said with a smile: "Just now, you were only concerned about dealing with the affairs of the house, and you didn't let the servants inform you. That's when I found out that the old lady was ill."

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and said: "Now the old man is surrounded by some stupid people, and others are not close to him, how do we report this?"

Jia Zheng beside the bed also had a livid face, and said to Jia She: "The old lady was so mad by the bad things that my brother did, and now she is so late, if the Holy Majesty picks it off, I'm afraid the crime will be light. No way."

Jia Amnesty couldn't stand such a verbal attack, just about to get angry and say something stupid, when Jia Lian said with a gentle smile: "Second uncle misunderstood."Then he said: "Father, in order to hear that the old lady had fainted, he personally invited Mr. Wu, a medical expert outside the city, to treat the old lady. It was too late. Now that the old lady has come, why not ask the old gentleman to treat the old lady first?" The old lady is sick, and then she will talk about other things."

Jia Zheng raised his head and looked at Jia Lian carefully, thinking that this was quite different from the playboy he remembered, and looking at his eyebrows and gestures, he was more secure than those princely children.

Here, before Jia Zheng could speak, Mrs. Wang said first: "I don't know where this country doctor came from. The old lady is noble, how can I let these people die."

Jia Lian smiled gracefully, "Did my second aunt ever hear of a hermit coming out of the mountains? This doctor usually doesn't take it lightly. It was because my father begged me several times that I came to the house to see it in person. Second aunt is doing this to let you down." Does Father have any intentions?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was speechless, Jia Amnesty hurriedly added embellishments and said, "What Lian'er said is that the old lady is sick, and you don't ask for a doctor, and you don't know what An is thinking?" Then he said to the white-haired doctor beside him: "There is Mr. Lao."

The white-haired doctor stepped forward and took out a cloth bag from the boy behind him. Once the bag was opened, he saw rows of shining silver needles.In an instant, everyone in the room was terrified.

Just as Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were about to stop them, they were stopped by the people brought by Jia Amnesty, unable to do anything.

Jia Amnesty was also a little apprehensive, but when he saw Jia Lian's calm expression, his heart sank.Looking at the shining silver needle again, he thought to himself: "This time the old lady is going to suffer. Old lady, it's not that the son is unfilial. Lian'er is right, if you are sick, you need to be cured!"

Everyone held their breath and stared at the old gentleman's hand holding the silver needle.When she saw the silver needle slowly falling on Jia Mu's head, she couldn't help squinting her eyes.

Jia Lian raised the corners of her lips, put one hand behind her back, and quietly watched the silver needles being inserted into the acupuncture points with precision.

Sure enough, the old lady woke up with a start when she heard "Ah——".

The old gentleman quickly held the old lady down, and persuaded: "Old lady, there is only one injection left, please bear with it."

Seeing the long needle that was getting closer and closer, Mother Jia opened her mouth to bite the old man's palm, and only heard an even louder scream, "Ah—"

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing: "..." I can't tell that the old lady can be so fierce at times.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang: "..." Speechless.

After a lot of ups and downs in Jia's mansion, he finally established the status of the head of the big house.

Jia Lian didn't have this ambition at all, he grasped the big direction, and let Jia Amnesty to deal with the small aspects.

After the big house moved into Rongxi Hall, Jia Amnesty arranged Jia Lian's room in the courtyard next to it, which was clean and bright.After Jia Lian had seen it himself, he nodded in approval. Although it was not as good as the previous Kangping Palace, it was considered comfortable.The sun was shining outside, and Jia Lian was in a good mood. He took a look at the post in his sleeve and then stuffed it back into the sleeve. It was too early to go at this time.

Now that the Supreme Emperor is still alive, the foundation of the new emperor is not stable, and coupled with the abolition of the crown prince, this game of chess is really messed up.

"Brother..." came a voice like glutinous rice.Jia Lian looked up and saw a little girl in emerald green clothes standing at the gate of the yard, about six or seven years old, submissive.

The nurse at the back rushed forward to pull the little girl, and smiled apologetically at Jia Lian: "Second Master, it's the slave's fault. I didn't like Miss Yingchun, so the slave will take the girl away."

Jia Lian remembered that this little girl was very vague in his memory, and she should not have had much contact with her, but he vaguely knew that she was his own—sister Jia Yingchun.Thinking of this, my heart softened.Back then, all the people in Prince Kangping's mansion were brothers, and the only younger sister entered the palace as a princess after she passed the appointment. I thought she had found a good home, but I didn't expect...

"Brother," the voice was timid.

The nurse hurriedly said: "Girl, I will make you another one, I don't want that one."

"Oh..." Yingchun reluctantly looked up at the book tree, then followed the nurse's pull and walked out.

Jia Lian looked up and saw a small kite in the shape of a wild goose hanging on a branch of the sycamore tree. "Wait a moment."

The nanny stopped and looked back at Jia Lian, only to see Jia Lian leaping up to the tree with the strength of the tree trunk, reached out to take the kite in her hand, and jumped down again without any damage.The nanny has lived for so many years, when has she ever seen such a stretching hand, she opened her mouth wide in shock.

As if Jia Lian hadn't seen her, she walked up to the little girl with a kite and said with a smile, "Yingchun, do you like kites?"

With a timid look in Yingchun's eyes, she nodded slightly.

Jia Lian reached out to caress her little bun, then reached out to take her little hand, and put the kite on the little palm. "Go and play."

Only then did the nurse come to her senses, and said, "Second Master, the girl can no longer play now, it's time to go to the old lady's side. Second Master Bao just wanted to play with his sisters."

To play with Master Bao?What's the point!Jia Lian's eyes turned cold, and the nurse took a step back in fright.

"You take the girl with you on weekdays? How is your daily routine?" Although the voice was gentle, it gave off an invisible sense of oppression.

The nanny only felt numbness in her back, and stammered: "The girl is usually at the old lady's side, playing with Master Bao."

When Jia Lian heard this, she narrowed her eyes.Although Yingchun is a concubine, Jia She does not have a daughter-in-law, so she should be brought up as a daughter-in-law. Why is she being the baby's playmate all day long? Let's look at the behavior of Jia She and Jia Zheng. Jia Lian I doubt the old lady's parenting ability.

"Don't go today, take Yingchun to play, and after noon, I will learn to read in the house. I will find a female teacher to go there later."

"Yes." The nanny hurriedly responded.

Seeing Yingchun's timid eyes, Jia Lian softened her heart and said with a gentle smile, "Yingchun is good, go play kite first, brother will find you a good playmate this afternoon."

"En." Yingchun nodded obediently, secretly staring at Jia Lian curiously, mixed with joy.

"Second master, that servant led the girl there first." The nanny asked cautiously.

"Go." Jia Lian waved his hand.

After the nanny and Yingchun left the yard, Jia Lian thought about it before heading to the main room of Rongxi Hall.

At this time, Jia She was looking at the room full of antiques and treasures, his old face was covered with chrysanthemums when he smiled.Mrs. Xing was waiting on the side, serving refreshments.

When the villain outside came in to report Jia Lian's arrival, Jia She was willing to run away from his calligraphy and painting.

When Jia Lian came in, what he saw was that the room was full of antiques piled up with tables and chairs, and his heart sank.I know how much money there is in the treasury, and with the expenses and extravagance of so many people in the house, I'm afraid it's because there's less money in and more money out, and if things go on like this, it will definitely decline.It seems that it should be mentioned.

Holding half of the diorama, Jia Amnesty said with a smile all over his face, "Lian'er, you are here, and you will be able to try it in a month or so. My father thought you were busy."

Jia Lian showed a faint smile, found a seat and sat down.

Mrs. Xing hurriedly ordered the little maid to bring hot tea, but she was worried about disturbing the father and son, so she retreated outside the door.

"Mother stay here." Jia Lian stood up and said, "I have something to ask you when I come here today."

Mrs. Xing has never been liked by Jia Lian and Jia She since she was born, and Jia's mother is partial. She has always been a wimp, and suddenly became a family. Now her stepson respects her so much, and she is flattered in her heart, hurriedly said "What's the matter with Lian'er, mother just takes care of it."

"Now Yingchun is seven years old, and she is also an upright lady in the Duke's mansion. My son thinks that she should be well-bred. Now that the mother manages such a huge mansion, naturally there is no time. The son wants to find a wife to come back. Teaching poetry and book etiquette will not disgrace the prestige of the family in the future."

Jia She said: "My daughter's family, just play with the children in the house, and I will marry in the future."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "My master's words are wrong. It's fine for ordinary people, but he was born in a duke's family. In the future, he will marry a son of a noble family. If he is good-looking, with the honor of our family, it's not a bad idea to be married to a prince's son in the future. .”

Prince's son?Jia She's heart fluttered.If there is a powerful son-in-law in the future, it will be enough to overwhelm the second wife.No matter how good the eldest girl in the second bedroom is, didn't she also enter the palace as a maid?Although she is a female historian, she is still a servant who serves others.Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty felt joyful, and said with a smile all over his face: "Okay, it's up to you, and you will decide the candidate."

"Master, don't worry. But..." Then he changed the topic and said with a smile, "But if you can have a decent status, you will have a higher family status in marriage in the future." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Mrs. Xing.

Although Jia Amnesty is a fool, he is not stupid, and he can understand the twists and turns.After a few turns in my heart, I made a decision.

Mrs. Xing was taken aback, but before she could react, she heard Jia She laugh and said: "Oh, you are still thoughtful." Turning to Mrs. Xing, she said, "You didn't have a man and a woman when you entered the house. Yingchun girl's biological mother has also gone, and now it belongs to your name, and she will be born and raised by you in the future, so you can raise her well."

Since Mrs. Xing entered Jia's house, she has not been pregnant for many years, and the doctor diagnosed her infertility. If the original wife hadn't left a man like Jia Lian behind, and the old lady's selfishness, I'm afraid she would have been regarded as The seven rules were abandoned.Although the concubines also conceived and had children, they were separated by some distance.It is also a happy event to have so many daughters who are so legitimate.In addition, Jia Lian personally proposed that there is no reason why she shouldn't, and she repeatedly replied: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely teach Yingchun girl well."

Sure enough, a few days later, Jia Lian found someone and invited a foster nun and a female teacher to teach Yingchun personally, and ordered the people around him to do their best.

Every time Mother Jia asked people to come to pick Yingchun to accompany Baoyu, Madam Xing also found reasons to shirk her.Anyway, there are girls from the second room and the girl from the Shi family, and there is no shortage of me.In the future, it might be my reliance.
