Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

On the tenth day of May, Rongguo Mansion was full of guests.

Although Jia Yun's official position is not high, the fault is that Jia Lian, an uncle, is behind his back, and he acts like a son and personally arranges the marriage for him.All of a sudden, the four princes and noble families in the capital, as long as they had a little contact with Jia Lian, all came to congratulate him.

Li Wan's envious eyes turned red when he saw it, and he sighed around Sister Feng: "Yun'er is really lucky. Although she doesn't have a father, she has uncles and aunts like you. If I see Lan'er's marriage is going so well, I will be happy." Even if you die, you can close your eyes."

On the big day, Sister Feng didn't want Li Wan to spoil the scenery, so she hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, Lan'er's marriage will only be better."

Only then was Li Wan satisfied.

The next day, the newlyweds and their elders met their elder relatives.Du Ruoxin made clothes, shoes and socks for the entire Rongguo Mansion according to the etiquette of her husband's family.Jia Mu took the shoes and socks and praised them a few times, and rewarded her with a set of gold-studded rubies.

Jia Amnesty received 200 taels of silver bills, and Xing Shi followed Jia Amnesty and drank tea.

Sister Feng followed Jia's mother, and she was also a ruby ​​head.Like Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian gave Jia Yun a red seal.Jia Yun thought it was a bank note and kowtowed to accept it.

After confirming their relatives, Jia Amnesty led the newcomers to visit the ancestral hall, and added Du Ruoxin's name on the genealogy with his own hand. From then on, Du Ruoxin became Jia Du's family.

After the round of etiquette, Jia Yun took Du Ruoxin back to the room to change clothes and prepare for the banquet.

Du Ruoxin is not good at housekeeping, Jia Yun's mother, Fifth Grandma, is in charge of the family books and money. Today she has someone to register the rewards from the elders. Although the money does not need to be repaid, the young couple should remember the kindness of the elders.

As a result, when she opened the red envelope Jia Lian gave, Fifth Grandma was stunned.She rubbed the corner of her eyes and looked carefully again. Yes, it was indeed a contract for a five-hundred-acre farm.

Grandma Fifth hurriedly called Jia Yun: "Yun'er, daughter-in-law, come here."

Jia Yun and Du Ruoxin hurried out to ask what was going on, and Grandma Wu handed the Tian Deed to Jia Yun: "Here is the red seal from your second uncle."

Jia Yun was stunned when she looked carefully, and grabbed Tian Qi for a while: "It's too precious, we can't bear it."

Grandma Fifth nodded: "You can talk about it yourself."

Jia Yun's mother was quite sophisticated, she didn't think that what Jia Lian sent would be taken back.However, she also thought that this gift was too expensive.Jia Yun's real uncle only brought over five copper coins, and his wife even murmured a lot of nasty things.

But it was said that Jia Yun came to Xuancao Tang holding the Tian Deed, and Jia Lian was taken aback when he saw him: "Why didn't you change your clothes, and you will go to meet the guests to toast later. I will introduce some acquaintances for you. You will encounter trouble in the palace later. , you can ask them for help.”

Jia Yun's throat was a little choked, and when she came to Jia Lian, she knelt down: "Second uncle is like Yun'er's reborn parents. If it hadn't been for the second uncle's cultivation, Yun'er would still be living on the street. These things Yun'er kept in mind, This time, you have arranged such a decent wedding for my nephew, and my nephew will remember you for the rest of my life. However, your gift is too expensive, and my nephew dare not accept it. Uncle, take it back, and leave it to several dignitaries in the future Brothers and cousins, there are five cousins ​​in your family, and this expense is really not small."

Jia Lian took the Tian Qi and looked at it, then asked with a smile, "Let me ask you, if Uncle goes away for a day and recites words, do you care?"

Jia Yun nodded without hesitation: "Of course, my nephew will do his best."

"Your cousins ​​are in trouble, will you help them?"

Jia Yun nodded hurriedly: "One day, my nephew will definitely do his best to take care of his cousins ​​and give them the greatest help."

Jia Lian smiled and handed the land deed back: "This is not the case. You will do everything you can to help us, but it is easy for me to take out this farm. In the past few years, you have helped me with more than a small farm? Besides, your mother It was very hard to raise you and grow up. Now that you have grown up, why not let your mother live a more relaxed and decent life? Let those who have despised your mother open their eyes and let out the taint they have suffered all these years. It is your responsibility to be a son, do you think so?"

Jia Yun's nose felt sore when he heard the words, he nodded repeatedly, and took Tian Qi: "Thank you, Second Uncle, my nephew will never disappoint Second Uncle."

Jia Lian patted Jia Yun on the shoulder: "I can trust your character."

Jia Yun wiped her tears with her sleeve, and bowed to leave: "Second uncle, sit down, nephew will leave."

Jia Lian waved his hand: "Come here earlier after changing clothes, hurry up and have a baby after work, many important things are waiting for you, time is tight, I can't afford to delay."

Jia Yun was sighing with emotion. Hearing this, she wanted to laugh again, but she didn't dare to laugh, so she hurried back.

At that moment, Sister Feng came over and said, "Yun'er is really sweet."

Jia Lian nodded: "Well, this kid has a conscience."

Sister Feng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Speaking of which, Ling'er is not young anymore. He is seventeen years old, and he has been with us for two or three years. He has worked tirelessly. Although he is not as capable as Yun'er, he has worked hard. What do you think about his marriage? Woolen cloth?"

Jia Lian was surprised: "His marriage? What did his mother say?"

Sister Feng said angrily: "He followed you, of course he asked what you meant. Her mother has someone to choose, but I'm still hesitating."

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat: "Why hesitate, girl is not good?"

Sister Feng pursed her lips: "It's not bad, it's just that her status is a bit low and she doesn't deserve Ling'er."

Jia Lian looked at Sister Feng: "Her mother is interested, is it from the house?"

Lin Xiaohong is a smart person, in her previous life she could catch up with Jia Yun, but in this life she might not be able to meet Jia Ling, but Lin Zhixiao is the housekeeper of the house, they often come and go, it is very likely that they have come into contact with each other.

Sister Feng said: "It's that girl Lin Zhixiao who is doing business with me now. She's very clever. I'm going to keep it for Sister Qiao as a companion."

Jia Lian laughed immediately: "What's the point of this? She must be good if you can praise her. If you think her background is low, you can accept her as a goddaughter, and you must have an extra dowry." Sister Feng laughed immediately: " This is a chaotic generation, her mother is my goddaughter."

Jia Lian suddenly burst out laughing: "You are so cheeky, Lin Zhixiao is a circle older than me, yet you are his mother-in-law? Don't laugh at me to death!"

Sister Feng laughed herself: "Well, she didn't ask me for business, otherwise, I would accept Lin Xiaohong as a goddaughter, and then let her out of her nationality to become a good citizen, so that her seniority is right, and her status is also worthy."

Jia Lian nodded: "You can arrange it."

Sister Feng clapped her hands: "Just do it if you say it, and do it quickly if you want to do it, so as not to have to start again in a few days."

Jia Lian smiled: "It's up to you, since Lin Xiaohong has taken care of your daughter's reputation, you should give her a dowry."

Sister Feng said "Huh" and turned her head to look at Jia Lian: "You rarely ask about these things, why are you so concerned about this girl? If you don't know you, that girl looks like the Lin family, I doubt she is you It's a lost gem."

Jia Lian was stunned when he heard the words: "So obvious?"

Sister Feng nodded.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Let me tell you, I used to plan to match her up to marry Yun'er."

Sister Feng was stunned: "Yun'er? This? Why do you have such a plan?"

Jia Lian squeezed Sister Feng's cheeks: "Do you believe in past and present lives?"

Sister Feng immediately raised her eyebrows: "What does Second Master mean? Don't scare me?"

Jia Lian smiled: "I'm just making an analogy. For example, some people dream of things that don't exist. People usually call him a prophet. Have you heard of this?"

Sister Feng nodded: "I know this, King Wen Mengxiong. My grandfather once met an eminent monk who said that my grandfather was a good man of ten generations, and he should make a fortune and be full of children and grandchildren."

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows: "This is all a fortune teller's trick to cheat money. I said that life and death can be seen in dreams. I once had a dream. In the dream, our Rongfu committed a crime for no reason, and finally ransacked the house. The whole family After leaving the prison, the clansman scattered and scattered, and some villains looted all our leftovers, and even targeted Miss Qiao..."

Sister Feng suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Who is it? I'll peel his skin..." Sister Feng was half-swearing and was startled: "Is it Jiaqin Jiachang, that's why you hate them so much?"

Jia Lian was busy comforting her: "I said it was a dream."

But Sister Feng took it seriously: "Did someone save Qiao'er? Oh, it was Xiaohong, it must be her, because I plan to leave her and Yan'er to Qiao'er as a companion, it must be her..."

As she was talking, Sister Feng suddenly realized: "Isn't Yun'er the one who rescued Sister Qiao?"

Jia Lian regretted it immediately, and hurriedly explained: "It's a dream. You said it was a dream. You don't even think about the dream I had. Who dares to touch me now?"

Sister Feng's eyes immediately became moist, she was frightened by Jia Lian's description.In an instant, the woman in the back room had an epiphany: How could the emperor justify killing someone?Otherwise, how could Wang's Boat Company become the court's?

Sister Feng leaned on Jia Lian's arm and rubbed her wet cheeks: "Second master must be careful not to cause any accidents, otherwise, what will we five children do?"

Jia Lian was busy comforting him: "There must be nothing wrong with our family. Uncle Lin, your third uncle, the Feng family and the Wei family, and Rong'er. I have Pingziying in my hand. These are all our support. Who dares to touch us? Don't you think so?"

Sister Feng suddenly raised her head: "There is also the First Princess Yu Liuyue, she is likely to be the Crown Princess in the future, and then..."

Jia Lian covered Sister Feng's mouth: "Hush!"

Sister Feng nodded, and Jia Lian let her go. Sister Feng said, "She is our child's god-aunt, don't you think so?"

Jia Lian nodded: "Yes!"

Sister Feng reached out and grabbed Jia Lian: "She will do it!"

Jia Lian raised his forehead immediately, it's not a good thing for a woman to be too smart.

Sister Feng was frightened by this, although Jia Lian said it was a dream, but Sister Feng thought that Jia Lian would not be indiscriminate. At the same time, Sister Feng remembered that Jia Lian's temperament suddenly changed during that period, and he started to make progress.

Sister Feng guessed that Jia Lian was probably dreaming at that time.

Although Jia Lian didn't say why the Rong Mansion ransacked the house, Sister Feng knew that it was illegal and disciplined, like the second wife's usury in the past. Once this matter was exposed, it would definitely be a catastrophe.Sister Feng was a little scared at once, but fortunately Jia Lian kept admonishing her, so she was cautious, and the nun of Shuiyue Temple asked her to do something, but she refused.

When Sister Feng thought of someone trying to murder Sister Qiao, it was as if her heart had been taken away.Therefore, starting from this day, Sister Feng began to strictly control the subordinates, especially the few people who worked under her command. The first one was Wang Er.If I had been touting the matter of breaking the marriage at that time, I don't know what would happen now.

Thinking of this, Sister Feng couldn't wait for a moment, so she hurriedly called Wang'er's family over and asked, "What happened to that brother Zhang Jin you mentioned last time?"

Wang'er's family trembled when they heard this.

Sister Feng didn't like people being vague, so she stared at her immediately: "I'm asking you something, are you deaf?"

Wang'er's family immediately kowtowed: "Grandma, don't ask, it's all slaves who are blind, and shouldn't be soliciting that bald nun. Brother Zhang Jin and her fiancé are both dead, because the marriage was forcibly broken up, and they drowned together to death."

Sister Feng asked: "Do you know whose house Buni hooked up with later?"

Wang'er said: "This servant didn't inquire about it, but later that Tuni met me again later, and showed my eyes to me, saying that our house is not as grand and confident as that of Concubine Wu's house, and he will handle the matter with one word. gone."

Sister Feng waved her hand: "Go down."

Wang'er's family tiptoed back, and suddenly, Sister Feng shouted again: "From now on, you are not allowed to associate with that nun. Next time we will donate sesame oil to change a nunnery. They are all filthy, how can they cleanse their sins for others!"

Wang'er's family retreated slowly, and Ping'er couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with grandma these days, why is she suddenly so nervous and has a particularly violent temper?"

Sister Feng sighed: "Really, I didn't notice."

Suddenly, Sister Feng remembered why she was nervous, and immediately thought of Lin Xiaohong: "I guess it's because I've been busy these few days, so you call Wang Er to come in, no, call Zhao Liangdong."

When Zhao Liangdong came, Sister Feng said: "You sort out the population book in the house. Seeing that August is the old lady's birthday, I'm going to release a group of people, and those girls who are old enough to get married will also be grouped together. , and, call Lin Zhixiao's family, I have something to say."

Lin Zhixiao's family came soon, and greeted Sister Feng after entering the door: "Second Grandma!"

Seeing this, Sister Feng smiled and said, "Huh, why aren't you called a godmother?"

Lin Zhixiao's family laughed and said: "Those are just jokes, how can they be taken seriously."

Sister Feng nodded, "It's just a joke, but I asked you to discuss it today, but I want to accept your Xiaohong as a goddaughter, are you willing?"

Lin Zhixiao's family laughed foolishly: "Grandma, don't joke."

Sister Feng was immediately annoyed: "Am I free? You just said if you want it or not?"

Lin Zhixiao's family was naive at the beginning, so Sister Feng teased her. She was just a little insensitive, but she was not stupid. Looking at Sister Feng's face, it seemed that she was not joking, and she kowtowed: "That's true, it's our Honger's blessing." Thank you, grandma, for your attention."

Sister Feng raised her hand: "Get up, your daughter has become my goddaughter, you and I are godparents, don't kneel and kneel in the future, and there are no outsiders, don't talk about those empty etiquette."

Lin Zhixiao's family thanked him and got up.

Sister Feng wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so she decided on the marriage, and said with a smile: "Well, you are happy, I have another matter to discuss with you, someone has taken a fancy to our Hong'er, and wants to ask to marry back and be his daughter-in-law. "

Lin Zhixiao's family was shocked when they heard the words, they were very afraid that if Sister Feng said something to make Xiaohong a child, it would kill them.Although they are small families, they love Lin Xiaohong like the eyes of their eyes. If it weren't for the fact that every family in the mansion has to work as an errand before they can ask for grace, they would not want Lin Xiaohong to enter the mansion.If what Sister Feng said was wrong, they didn't have the guts to refuse.That would ruin Xiaohong for the rest of her life.

She was so frightened that her voice trembled a little: "Who is grandma talking about?"

Seeing her trembling, Sister Feng laughed and scolded: "I'm not a tigress either, I'm just a matchmaker. Why are you so scared?"

Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly waved his hands: "No, it's just an acquaintance of grandma, I'm afraid our family can't afford it."

Sister Feng snorted: "Who dares to dislike my goddaughter of Wang Xifeng. Let me tell you, it's the boy Ling who lives in the front yard. His mother has mentioned it to me for a long time. I have been busy arranging Jia Yun's marriage. Kong’er, do you think it’s possible?”

Lin Zhixiao's family was secretly happy, but they couldn't believe it: "Grandma is talking about Master Ling, but we are servants of the family, and this status..."

Sister Feng nodded: "I've thought about it a long time ago. August is the old lady's birthday. The old lady is 73 this year. This is a critical moment. Your second master said that he would celebrate the old lady's birthday. This matter has not yet been finalized." Decided, don't tell it, anyway, I will release a group of people in August, and Xiao Hong will be expelled from the inside, she has become a good citizen, your family also has a small fortune, and Ling'er can be regarded as a good match."

Lin Zhixiao's family was busy kowtowing: "I'll go back and discuss with our family."

Sister Feng nodded: "It should be, I like Xiaohong that girl is smart, no matter whether the marriage is successful or not, I will take Xiaohong out of her citizenship, you can rest assured."

Lin Zhixiao's family left with a thousand thanks.

Here, Sister Feng told Ping'er: "You call me Fourth Sister-in-law."

The fourth sister-in-law is Jia Ling's mother, and Jia Ling's father is the second son of the fifth old man.The fifth old man is the fifth younger brother of Rong Guogong Jia Daishan, who has no inheritance rights and separated out early.Jia Ling and Rongguo Mansion haven't released the fifth suit yet, so their blood is very close, which is why Jia's mother regards Xiluan and Jia Ling very much.

Jia Yun's grandfather was Jia Daishan's second younger brother, who passed away early.One son is Jia Yun's father, and he is not a long-lived person.

This is also the reason why Jia Lian valued Jia Yun so much in the previous life and was willing to take care of him.Jia Lian is very soft-hearted, and he also pays great attention to blood relationship. In his last life, his only shortcoming was lust.The rest is really fine.

Closer to home.

Lin Zhixiao went home and said that Lin Zhixiao was very satisfied, because he had more contacts with Jia Ling, this child was honest and willing to work, and he did not have the exaggeration of ordinary children from big families.Down-to-earth and filial, and willing to take care of younger siblings, such a person, as a son-in-law, they will be regarded as old-age dependents in the future.

Lin Zhixiao came to see Jia Lian in the evening, and agreed to the marriage without hesitation, and expressed his gratitude to Jia Lian's Sister Feng for promoting Xiao Hong, and promised that as long as Jia Lian needed it, he would help Jia Lian's family for the rest of his life.

The next day was an auspicious day.

Jia Ling's father died, and Jia Lian made the decision. Jia Ling saluted Lin Zhixiao and called him father-in-law.Lin Zhixiao gave Lin Xiaohong's Shenggeng horoscope to Jia Lian, and Jia Lian exchanged Jia Ling's Shenggeng horoscope on the spot.

Sister Feng called Lin Zhixiao's family to meet with Jia Ling's mother's fourth sister-in-law, and they were right to see and wear them. Jia Ling's mother gave a crested hairpin as a token.

Lin Xiaohong can't wear it right now, but in August she redeemed herself and became a commoner.Furthermore, no one in Jia's mansion strictly regulated these matters.

Lin Zhixiao's family gave his son-in-law Jia Ling a set of green shirts, including shoes and socks, a jade ring on the edge of the robe, and a Wensheng scarf on his head.

The fourth sister-in-law flipped through the clothes and needlework and was full of praise: "Miss Hong is really ingenious, only the old lady in this needlework mansion can compare with Qingwen in front of her."

Qingwen originally followed Baoyu, but Yuanchun thought that there were too many girls in Baoyu's room, which was not conducive to reading, so only Xiren Sheyue was left behind. Not to mention that Yuanchun and Wang's mother and daughter have the same taste and don't like Daiyu Qingwen is such a clever and dexterous person.

The rest of Qingwen, Sheyue, Qiuwen, Qilu, Bihen, and Qianxue in Baoyu's room were all expelled by Yuanchun.

Mother Jia liked Yuanchun, and she let her do whatever she wanted without interfering. Anyway, Mrs. Wang was dead, Mrs. Xue was not a problem at all, and Mrs. Yuanchun was also a hanger-on.No one in this house competes with her for precious jade.

Therefore, Qingwen was kicked out of Rongqing Hall, and now Sister Feng is doing needlework in the sewing room.

Sister Feng valued Qingwen very much, and she had promoted Qingwen to be the steward of the sewing room.

This is also Sister Feng's deliberate kindness. If she hadn't been jealous of Yuan Chun's face, Sister Feng would have arranged Qingwen for Yingchun.Si Qi is one year older than Yingchun, she is seventeen this year, she should get married long ago.Sister Feng plans to deal with this matter in August.Besides, when Si Qi married Pan You'an, they had to stay in the mansion together to help Sister Feng Jia Lian, so it was impossible to marry with Yingchun.

Therefore, Sister Feng thought of Qingwen, who was as capable and pungent as Si Qi, to call Yingchun.

Since Xiaohong has been with Sister Feng, she has a different status. The relationship between her and Qingwen is less due to Baoyu's involvement. They were very sympathetic to each other and became good sisters.

Looking back, she said that since Xiaohong was engaged to Jia Ling, it was not suitable to be Qiaojie's girl, so Sister Feng asked Xiaohong to go home to prepare an embroidered wedding dress, and brought up Qiuwen to make up for Xiaohong's vacancy.

Xiaohong strongly recommended Qingwen: "Grandma, why don't you want Qingwen, Qingwen is the smartest and most capable of all the girls." Sister Feng said with a smile: "Si Qi is going to marry Pan You'an."
