[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

Back at the frontier of the big house, Jia Lian was stopped by his servants as soon as he entered the yard, "Young Master, Eldest Master, please go directly to the main room for dinner after you come back."

When Jia Lian heard this, he couldn't help but glanced at the sky, the sun was still rising as usual, so why did his father go crazy and ask him to have dinner today? !

But since he couldn't figure it out, of course he wanted to go and have a look, so Jia Lian nodded and turned around to the main room.

But Jia She, who was sitting in the room sulking, saw his son walking in, and just about to lose his temper, he saw the plate in Xing'er's hand, frowned and asked, "What is that on? Where did it come from?"

After bowing his hands and saluting, Jia Lian turned his head and glanced at it, and said nonchalantly, "I just came here from my second uncle's place. The snack tastes good, so my son brought it back."

When Jia She heard this, he slapped the table in a rage and said, "Your father, am I missing your food or your clothes?! Let you go to the second room to beg for food?!"

Jia Lian hadn't done anything yet, but Mrs. Xing, who was beside her, was startled by Jia She, and she even shrunk her body to lower her sense of existence, not wanting to get involved between Jia She and his son.

But when Jia She saw that Jia Lian was silent, he didn't intend to turn off the fire at all, so he dropped another cup on the ground, and said angrily, "I have plenty of money! You are my son. If you need anything, don't ask me for it. Instead, go to me. Second, what kind of housekeeper should I learn, he knows nothing!"

Originally, Jia Lian was going in his left ear and out of his right ear, lamenting that the cup rolled on the carpet with a bang, but it was not broken. When he heard his father's words, he raised his head in a "swipe--" and kept nodding his head, saying: " Father, you are right!"

Jia Amnesty still had a series of anger that did not dissipate. As soon as Jia Lian's words came out, he felt a little uncomfortable. He even felt a little regretful and couldn't express it. gone?"

"No." Jia Lian stretched out her hand with a smile on her face. "Father, didn't you say that your son will ask you for everything he lacks? My son has a limited number of monthly appointments. It is really not convenient to go out to play with friends. Thank you..."

On the one hand, Jia She felt that Jia Lian was only interested in profit, and on the other hand, he felt that his son's appearance of plucking wild goose was well-known to him.But no matter how brazen he was, he was still his own son, so he took out a stack of banknotes from his bosom and handed them to Jia Lian, "Your father is not mean, here you are!"

Jia Lian took it over readily, and listened to his father, "I will not harm you if I become a father, and you will always listen to me..." In this way, he opened the bank note in his hand, glanced at it casually, and said with a smile: "Son, I know this is a bit abrupt, but my son is about to get married. It's not a problem to always reach out to you if you don't have any money in your hand. How about you give your mother's dowry to your son?"

Naturally, this mother was not talking about the stepmother Xing family, but his biological mother Zhang family who had passed away. He went the wrong way during the transition of power in the year, and caught up with the death of his grandfather, so he went back to his hometown to observe filial piety.

The Zhang family is also a scholarly family. Although the scholarly family is not as wealthy as the Jia family, but the accumulation of several generations, the Zhang family's dowry was also large.Originally, Jia Lian thought that Jia's family had a lot of monthly silver, and he didn't have any big expenses, so it was enough, but he just opened his mouth when he was in a hurry.

As for whether his father would be willing, anyway, he just mentioned it casually, and it doesn't matter whether he gives it or not.

Jia Amnesty was indeed a little surprised, but he didn't like Zhang's dowry either. After thinking about it, he said, "You can give it to you, but I won't give it to you if you ask me for money in the future."

Jia Lian raised her eyebrows, thinking that it was necessary to get to know this cheap father again in the future, but after thinking about it, he didn't hesitate at all when he stuffed the bank note into his bosom.

"Of course, my son is not a spendthrift." That's what the promise said. Jia Lian really didn't intend to rely on his cheap father to make a fortune. This rich man is already very proud of himself for not getting rich.

That's why his father was really willing to give his mother a dowry. Jia Lian felt that he would rely on the money and manage well in the future, which would be enough for him in the future. As for the wealth of the Jia family, he was really not greedy. He doesn't have much skill, so if he wants so much money, he might as well be a rich man with a little power.

Jia Amnesty beckoned someone to bring Zhang's dowry list, but he didn't pass it and gave it to Jia Lian, saying: "Although your mother's dowry is in my hands, I don't care too much about it. Don't ask about the profit and loss. Me, you handle it yourself."

The Xing family who had been sitting next to her wanted to stretch her head to see how much money was there. Her family background was much worse than that of the Zhang family in front of her. The money in the house is limited, and now seeing that Jia Lian can have a large sum of money at the age of 12, he suddenly feels sour and jealous.

Xing's move was not small, both father and son noticed, Jia Lian pretended not to notice, lowered his head and continued to look at his biological mother's dowry list, but Jia Amnesty was not so good-tempered, and directly shouted: "Since Liu Lian'er is eating here, you Why don't you go and see how the dishes are not ready yet?!"

No matter how unwilling, Xing was still afraid of Jia Amnesty, so he could only walk out slowly.And Jia Amnesty waited for her to leave, and then said to Jia Lian: "Your mother's deeds of dowry will be sent to you when they are found. How to arrange it is your own business, and I will not care about it in the future." gone."

Jia Lian nodded, and put the dowry list into her bosom and put it away.

Jia She's food here has always been good, and he feels that there is no need to be frugal, so he has no scruples. Jia Lian is eating here today, although there are only three people, but the table is full of food, no matter what, he can't eat it. Finished.

Although Jia Lian thought it was a bit extravagant, it was a matter of his father's own yard, and he didn't have the right to meddle in other things, so he just cared about eating happily and enjoying his taste buds. When I prepare three or four dishes, I feel that I can come here a few more times in the future.

After eating, Jia Amnesty asked his servants to lead Jia Lian to move things from the warehouse where Zhang's dowry was stored, while he went back to sleep.

The three rooms where the mother's dowry was kept had not been cleaned for an unknown period of time. As soon as Jia Lian opened the door, she was coughed by the dust. The servants cleaned it briefly before Jia Lian walked in.

After checking, most of them are books, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain curios, and some may be jewelry from my mother during her lifetime. There are a lot of them, but many of them are very old. You don’t need to open the cloth and satin, just look at the outermost layer. I knew it was useless.

But even so, Jia Lian didn't get rid of it when he ordered people to move it into his yard. In the afternoon, he didn't leave a single hair of those three warehouses.

When Jia She found out after waking up, he didn't say anything, and handed the box he found to Jia Lian who was a little embarrassed, "This is your mother's dowry shop, Zhuangzi, the title deed of the land and the servant's deed of sale, and her You take all the money from your private house."

Jia Lian didn't open it immediately after receiving it. He was not so urgent, but just thanked his father sincerely: "Thank you."

Jia Amnesty shook his head nonchalantly, and said, "There are some rare treasures that I like when I see them, so I don't need to look for them if they're not."

"My son knows, if you still like something, you can choose some to enjoy."

Jia She waved his hands in distaste, "What good things can there be!"

After bidding farewell to Jia She, Jia Lian hurried back to his yard. It was still early in the evening, and he took his two personal maids and other servants to arrange his mother's dowry.

Because he doesn't like reading, there is no special study room in Jia Lian's yard. Just looking at these books, he still had someone tidy up a room dedicated to use as a study room, but when he took out these books, he saw that many of them were already gone. Damaged, although he doesn't know the value of rare books and ancient books, he still has a little understanding of the cost of reading, and he feels distressed immediately.

Jia Lian felt even more distressed as he didn't know how much it would cost to restore so many ancient books.

Even if he wanted to tidy up, he couldn't finish it all at once. He ordered someone to prepare a bowl of chicken noodle soup for him, and when the sky darkened, he prepared to tidy up tomorrow.

Although he didn't move heavy objects, but he is now a rich young master, and he has been busy all afternoon. When he saw the steaming chicken noodle soup, he immediately started to eat it. He didn't feel so hungry. Then I slowed down and tasted some soup slowly.

When he raised his eyes and saw the box on the small table on the bed, which he had brought from his father, he realized that he had forgotten about it, so he asked Zhaoer, the little servant, to bring it for him.

Father opened the lock in the main house, and now it was just hanging on it. Jia Lian took it off with one hand, and then looked through it with the soup bowl in one hand. On one side, only one-third of the height of the box was missing.

Immediately he was not in the mood to drink the soup, put down the bowl and immediately took out those banknotes with both hands. After counting them one by one, there were as many as 13 yuan, and his cheap father gave it to him indifferently. How rich is he? !

Shocked, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but then realized that his thoughts were a little off, and Jia Lian looked at the thick stack of land deeds, which should be more valuable...

After handing over to the others, Zhao'er, who was ready for the vigil tonight, saw his second master's expression as soon as he came in, and suddenly asked nervously, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Master, I just suddenly realized how lucky it is to be reincarnated..."
