The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

Mrs. Wang's heart trembled, and she shrank her neck slightly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer, Mrs. Wang's heart tightened again and again.

When he thought about what he had done, the other party would definitely not do anything to her because he had no proof.Mrs. Wang raised her chin slightly again, pretending to be fearless.

Of course, this subtle expression change of Mrs. Wang did not attract the attention of other people in the room.Everyone turned their attention to the entrance, waiting for Jia Lian who had returned from the northwest.

After a while, Jia Lian entered the door with a tired face.After seeing Jia Mu and others, he went back to visit Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing, changed his clothes immediately, and then came to Jia Mu's residence to sit for a while.

Mother Jia smiled and pulled Daiyu beside her.When Daiyu saw Jia Lian, she was overjoyed and hurriedly got up to say hello to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian smiled politely: "It's good to grow taller again. I have a gift for you and the sisters, and I will ask Feng'er to give it to you later."

Daiyu and Sanchun sisters expressed their thanks.

Jia's mother smiled even more, "Since you left, your brothers and sisters have talked about you a lot, and they are worried that you will suffer because you stay in a poor place in the northwest."

"Each has its own scenery, but I don't feel the pain. I have suffered more than this." Jia Lian said.

When Jia Mu heard this, "You have to ask clearly, what kind of suffering have you suffered?"

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, forgetting for a moment that he was a pampered son and brother, so he perfunctorily said to Jia's mother, "It's in my heart."

Jia's mother was surprised, and secretly speculated for a while, guessing that Jia Lian's child was talking about his mother's death, her heart instantly felt sad.

"I've been thinking about her for so many years. Your mother is a virtuous and filial person, but it's a pity that she was not blessed enough to see your future. But you are so upbeat, I think she will be able to rest in peace under the nine springs."

Mother Jia shed a few tears as she spoke.

Everyone gathered around to comfort him, and then Jia's mother burst into tears and laughed, and praised Jia Lian for his mother's demeanor when she was there.

Jia Lian didn't expect that Jia's mother would think so far when he said something nonsense.But the deity's biological mother... Jia Lian really ignored this point after time travel.Now that I think about it, since his mother is Jia She's original spouse, her family background should be higher than Mrs. Wang's, but I don't know why in these years, no one has ever heard of this relative?

"Your mother, Mrs. Song, left too early! You were just sensible at that time, and you experienced the pain of losing your mother. How could you not feel bitter?" Mother Jia lamented her heartache, "How many years, your uncle's side I haven’t sent any news once, so it seems that I’m still blaming us.”

Jia Lian heard that there seemed to be something wrong here, and wanted to ask in detail, but seeing that Jia Min was looking at him, he stopped opening his mouth knowingly.It seems that someone knows the inside story, so I will ask Jia Min some other day.

Seeing that Jia Lian understood what she meant, Jia Min smiled and said to Jia Mu: "Mom, let's not talk about these sad things, let's talk about something happy. You have to ask Lian'er what he did when he went to the northwest this time. What, what happened, we all want to know."

Mrs. Wang echoed: "That's right, I don't know how hard it is there. But look at our Lian'er must be a blessed person, look at his face, it is getting whiter and whiter. So elegant and handsome."

Only then did Jia Lian realize that Mrs. Wang was there, and he heheed twice in his heart.You don't need to think about it, this guy must have made some messy things while she was not in Beijing, which made Jia's mother feel sorry for her again.

People of Jia Mu's age usually have a good and bad relationship, not to mention that she loves Baoyu the most, so it's not surprising that she forgave Mrs. Wang.

Thinking of Baoyu, Jia Lian quickly glanced around, and finally saw Baoyu's timid little head behind Tanchun.

Baoyu has been hiding behind the sisters, just not wanting the second elder brother Lian to notice him. When he lowered his head and muttered "I can't see me" No. 30, his heart suddenly jumped, and he felt that the surroundings were quiet.Baoyu raised his head with a premonition, and sure enough, he saw the eyes of Lian's second brother.

Suck--

After Baoyu took a cold breath, he held his breath and walked up to Jia Lian awkwardly.

The people present were used to Baoyu's cowardly appearance when he met Jia Lian, and they all found it funny.

Daiyu pursed her lips slightly, snuggled into Jia Min's arms, her eyes sparkled, as if she was also waiting for a good show.

Baoyu met Daiyu's eyes and was overjoyed. This was the first time that Daiyu's younger sister looked at him with such interest. He should have jumped up happily, but it's a pity that Lian's second brother was...

"Second brother is well." Baoyu greeted Jia Lian in an embarrassing manner.

Jia Lian: "You didn't go to school because you knew I was coming back? Waiting here?"

Baoyu was overjoyed, and nodded to Jia Lian with a busy smile. He was worried that he had no excuse to perfunctory.

Jia Lian: "Nonsense, no one knows the exact date of my return, let alone notified in advance, how did you know?"

It was only then that Baoyu realized that it was Lian's second brother who set him up. Now that it's done, he can't find any other excuses to perfunctory. "me……"

"He's not feeling well in his stomach, so Second Brother should be considerate of him." Yingchun covered her mouth and smiled, and read a sentence in a low voice, as if she was helping Baoyu to plead for mercy, but she didn't intend to add fuel to the flames.

Who doesn't know that last time Baoyu skipped school because of the excuse of a stomachache, and made medicine jars for half a month.

It's a lot of fun now.

Baoyu's face instantly became embarrassing, and she was slanderous and talkative in her heart, and all the good feelings she had for Daiyu before were all frightened away.

"I see that your stomach is seriously ill, and it hasn't been cured yet." Jia Lian sighed, with a slight smile.

Mrs. Wang grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, gritted her teeth and endured it, the hatred in her heart!He was obviously her son, so she was the one to discipline him, so why should he meddle in Jia Lian's position?

But she can't say that now, and now that Jia Lian is in the limelight, and she is not welcomed by Jia's mother, she can't fight head-on, so she can only wrong her son Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to continue to grit her teeth.

Jia's mother laughed, feeling that Jia Lian was going to embarrass Baoyu, and said to him, "Look at your tired face, go back and have a rest earlier, we will take care of your brother's affairs, so you can't do everything."

"It would be unfilial of me to worry the elders about such a trivial matter. Besides, the ancestors have always loved him, so I should take care of him even more." Jia Lian turned around and ordered someone to invite the old doctor again.

Baoyu was so frightened that he cried immediately, and got into Jiamu's arms, arguing not to see a doctor or drink bitter medicine.

Holding Baoyu in her arms, Jia's mother scolded Jia Lian: "You just came back, what are you doing to scare him, good boy, what medicine to drink!"

Regardless of Jia Mu's words, Jia Lian sat down with a smile and called Baoyu over.

Baoyu looked at Jia Mu aggrievedly, and Jia Mu gave Baoyu a wink to reassure Baoyu, "My mother-in-law will support you, don't be afraid."

Then Baoyu walked up to Jia Lian awkwardly.

"Have you read "Han Feizi·Yu Lao"?" Jia Lian asked suddenly.

Baoyu froze for a moment, then nodded, "I've seen it, the book is still on the table."

Jia Lian ordered Baoyu to fetch it, and then pointed to a paragraph above, and asked Baoyu to recite it in public.

When Baoyu heard whether he was reading or memorizing, he nodded happily and recited the above sentence aloud.

Mother Jia nodded happily, and praised Jia Min in a low voice: "Baoyu is smart and loves to read."

Jia Min smiled perfunctorily, without making judgments.

Baoyu: "When Bian Que saw Duke Huan of Cai, he set up a room. Bian Que said: You have a disease in your body, and you will be afraid of being cured. Marquis Huan said, "I have no disease.... After staying for five days, Duke Huan's body hurts, which makes people ask Bian Magpie fled to Qin, and Marquis Huan died."

Mother Jia: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Baoyu felt that something was wrong when he was reading, but he couldn't stop. He put down the book and looked at Jia Lian with aggrieved eyes.This time, I was tricked by Lian's second brother again!

Originally, he thought that the second brother Lian was simply letting him study, but he never expected that the second brother Lian actually wanted to cite scriptures to persuade the old lady to let him see a doctor and take medicine.

Mother Jia was terrified, thought for a while, and grabbed Baoyu's hand, "Your second brother is right, you should be treated immediately if you are sick. ...Hey, just listen to your second brother and take a good look at the doctor."

Baoyu sniffled, nodded resignedly, thinking that he would have to drink the bitter medicine for another half a month, and he wanted to die.

How could Jia Lian let Baoyu just hang around like this, after leaving Jia Mu's place, he specially told the old doctor who was invited, "His condition relapses, I think the dose of medicine should be increased, and take it for a longer period of time, so as to completely cure him."

The old doctor met Jia Lian's eyes and nodded knowingly, "Second Master Lian, don't worry, the younger one will definitely follow suit."

"Make some bitter, but good for the body."

Jia Lian asked one more word before leaving in a huff.

After returning to his room for the second time, Jia Lian was going to get into the study.

Feng'er and others immediately knelt down in panic and kowtowed to Jia Lian to apologize.

"You guys are..." Jia Lian narrowed her eyes, anticipating that something must have happened during her absence.However, it would be strange if nothing happened. After all, Mrs. Wang was never a peaceful person.

"Master, the study... was burned." Feng'er muttered.

"What!" Jia Lian immediately lifted the curtain and rushed into the study, but saw that the wall next to the window was burnt to blackness, the window should have been burned too, but now a new one was replaced.

"The servant girl expected that the master would want to see it when he came back, so he didn't ask anyone to repair it. It's just that the window can't be kept, and the things in the house can't be kept. The servant girl made a good idea and asked someone to change the window first. "Feng'er explained.

Jia Lian stared down at the pots of broken things on the ground, groaning silently.

Feng'er came up to Jia Lian and knelt down, "Master, it's all the servant's fault. The servant was negligent and neglected. She didn't take good care of this room. The servant is really useless. Please punish the servant severely!"

Jia Lian squatted down.

Feng'er's heart tightened, and she lowered her head even more frightened.Second Master Lian is going to get ruthless?Are you going to grab her hair and look into her eyes and question her harshly?

Feng'er's body trembled uncontrollably.

Jia Lian grabbed a handful of soil, squeezed it, then dropped it, stood up, and stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

Feng'er's heart also rose along with Second Master Lian's body, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.It turns out that Second Master Lian just wanted to grab the dirt!

Jia Lian's slender fingertips still occupied the soil, and he held his hands behind his back, rubbing the remaining soil with his index finger and thumb, as if thinking about something.

"When did this happen?"

Feng'er: "Just twelve days ago."

"After my letter has been delivered?" Jia Lian asked with his head turned.

Feng'er nodded in agreement.

"Master, these pots of things are the most precious to you, slaves should die!" Feng'er kowtowed while crying.

"Why are you crying, get up, it's not something important." Jia Lian turned around, went to the counter and looked through it. Fortunately, all his record books were still there, because they were far away from the window, and they were not damaged.

Feng'er was dumbfounded, and stared blankly at Jia Lian: "Second Master, aren't you the most precious seedlings? You were very careful when you asked Mei Guo to take care of the peony before. This time, you took care of these pots of seedlings yourself. It should be more precious, why..."

"It is indeed more precious, but that was before autumn. After the harvest in autumn, the contents of that pot are just dry stalks. What's more, it's not the nine pots that broke. You said I still have Why should you be angry?" Jia Lian asked with a chuckle.

Feng'er was even more stupid, staring blankly at the broken flower pots on the ground, "Why, these pots were brought in by myself."

"The flower pots are the same, but the soil in them is different. Apparently my pot was stolen by Li Daitao." Jia Lian said.

Feng'er was amazed, no wonder the second master wanted to pinch the soil just now, it turned out to be for this reason, this move is so powerful!

Jia Lian asked someone to tidy up the study, went back to the dormitory to rest, and then suddenly asked Feng'er: "Recently, have there been any servant girls in the big room who have been transferred or disappeared suddenly?"

Feng'er thought for a while, and said: "There is one. I heard from Wang Shanbao's family two days ago that it suddenly disappeared. I can't even find it. Everything in the house is gone. It seems to have fled."

Jia Lian: "Did you report it?" Slaves who fled without authorization can report to the government.

Feng'er shook her head: "That's not known."

"You go and inform Wang Shanbao's family to deal with this matter. This person probably was instructed by someone to take the money and leave, and he can't find it for a while. I'm not afraid, as long as the mastermind behind the scenes is still there, as long as she keeps the money The nine pots of things are the evidence of a crime, so don’t worry about being caught.” After Jia Lian said this, he washed his hands and lay down on the bed, the fatigue of the journey crept up on him in an instant.

Feng'er happened to meet Wang Shanbao's family at the gate of the courtyard. After explaining the matter, when she came back in the blink of an eye, she saw that Second Master Lian was fast asleep.Feng'er helped the second master cover the quilt, and she stood guard at the door.In the future, she will definitely raise her spirits and never let anyone take advantage of the loopholes to harm the interests of the second master.

……

About half an hour later, Mrs. Wang came back from Jia Mu.As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhou Rui's family hastily greeted her. It was obvious that she had been waiting here for a long time.

"Ma'am, it's not good. I heard that Second Master Lian asked Wang Shanbao's family to report the crime."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Wang asked.

"The missing boy." Zhou Rui's family whispered.

Mrs. Wang was startled, she was almost unsteady when she sat down, and sat down on the ground, "It's just a missing boy, he noticed it when he came back? It's disgusting to report the crime to the police!"

"That's not it." Zhou Rui's family also took a breath, looking at Mrs. Wang who was getting thinner day by day, and felt aggrieved in her heart. It was so beautiful to be the second wife's companion at the beginning, but now she took a wrong step. Zhou Rui's family had a premonition. After all, the second wife still can't beat the second master Lian, and now she has another handle to fall into his hands. "Ma'am, no matter what those nine pots are, you can't keep them."

"You don't have to worry about this. I will be careful and handle it myself." Mrs. Wang rubbed her temples, sent Zhou Rui's family away, and then went to the Buddhist hall to take care of the nine pots of seedlings alone.

Mrs. Wang looked at these seedlings in puzzlement. They were yellow, with a stem, and hairy soft thorns growing on their heads. They looked familiar, but after careful study, they felt that they had never seen them before.It should really be some rare species, very valuable.Otherwise, Jia Lian would not be forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, and even wanted to report the crime to arrest people.

Mrs. Wang curled up her lips, as long as she thought of Jia Lian jumping like crazy, she finally felt a little better.I don't know how rare these plants are, so I need to invite a powerful person to have a look. If it doesn't work, I can go to Jia Lian's place to find out. If it is really a precious thing, I can send it to the palace for my daughter.It is also an excellent thing to ask her to use this thing to please the queen, so as to win extra favor.

Mrs. Wang thought about it and smiled beautifully.Picking up the handkerchief, it got wet, and took care of the nine pots more carefully. She even wiped off the dust on the edge of the flower pot.

Baoyu in that room drank the bitter medicine, and was eating a plate of candied fruit in a dull mood. The sweet things that are so sweet to the throat are now his favorite, and only sweet things can make his astringent and bitter mouth more tasteful.

Baoyu waited for a long time before seeing Hong'er running in, and hurriedly asked: "Did you find out? How long did the old doctor say I will take the medicine?"

Hong'er laughed and said: "Second Master, you can give up. Then the old doctor can say it. Let's talk about it for a month. If you want to continue to strengthen, you can ask Second Master to drink for two months."

"What did the old lady say?" Baoyu asked nervously.

"The old lady said: just a month."

Baoyu patted his chest hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong'er glanced at him, and continued: "Then my aunt said, 'Don't think about it like last time, repeat it'. The old lady hesitated, and at this time Miss Lin also said, 'Physician Zhang ordered me to take medicine, It must be continued, even if the symptoms are relieved, it is absolutely unstoppable, it needs to be consolidated for two years to get rid of the root." The old lady nodded and agreed to the old doctor, saying that the second master should drink for two months to completely get rid of the root. "

When Baoyu heard this, it was as if a thunderbolt struck his head from the sky. His head fell and he fell on the couch.

It was so bitter, he wanted to cry so much.

For two months, he might as well die of suffering.

"No, I'm going to talk to my ancestors." Baoyu was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Hong'er, "Master, you forgot, my wife told you a few days ago, but now it's different from the past. It’s not like being favored by the old lady like in the past, tell the second master to be good, and make less trouble in front of the old lady, otherwise it will be bad for the whole second wife, and the second wife will have to suffer with the second master.”

Baoyu was taken aback, and sat back stupidly, unable to believe that he was now in a situation where he wanted to see other people's faces.In a fit of anger, he shook his hands and quit, "How can I still be the second master of the Rong Mansion to live with such aggrieved life!"

"Why not? There are too many people who live their lives by looking at people's faces. Even the first-class prime minister has to look at the saint's face to do things? Why are you wronged, let alone us maids and servants in this mansion, Second Master Lian, Third Master Huan, and Third Master Cong, everyone lives their lives based on the face of others." Hong'er scolded.

Baoyu looked at Hong'er in astonishment, never expecting her to see through the truth so clearly at such a young age. "you--"

"Second Master, let's eat candied fruit. I'll go to the kitchen and tell them to add food to Second Master to make some delicious food at night. What would Second Master want?"

"Sweet and sour, sweet and salty, in short, don't want bitter, not sweet." Baoyu said.

Hong'er nodded, went out, turned left, and met her mother Lin Zhixiao's family waiting there, she hurriedly said: "I've coaxed, I will definitely take the medicine obediently and not make a fuss, you can go back to Second Master Lian at ease."

"You have to live up to it. You must remember the kindness of the second master Lian for you as a big maid. Don't mistake your master for a while." Lin Zhixiao's family reminded his daughter, and then he said worriedly, "Don't save me. Thinking about other things, the master is now protected by the old lady, so he can do well. When the old lady gets old, I don't think she will be able to live a good life as a wife, let alone a concubine or something like that. "

Hong'er sneered: "Is that how mother looks at me? I can't even look down on such a devil king if he grows up."

The daughter of Lin Zhixiao's family nodded her forehead, "Come on, let's make it big, you are so beautiful, and you don't even look at our identities. Forget it, let's not talk about it, I'll go back to the second master Lian, just watch him carefully." .”

Hong'er nodded, and after seeing her mother off, she went to the kitchen and ordered dishes according to Baoyu's request.

……

Three days later, it was the auspicious day for the Rong Mansion to hire the Prince of Li County.

After Jia Amnesty carefully prepared the dowry list and handed it over to Jiamu for review, Jiamu filled in ten more items.After the gifts were packed into boxes, they were tied with bright red silk and carried outside the mansion. Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, they walked through the streets and alleys, playing drums, and were led by a matchmaker all the way to the Lijun Prince's Mansion.

After all kinds of betrothal gifts are presented in the courtyard, Jia Lian holds the marriage letter and asks the officiant to accept it, and then the king of Lijun can happily tell the guests of the temple.

This marriage is of great significance to King Li. One is the marriage of his doting daughter, and the other is the son-in-law who has tested his sin and his own will. The twists and turns are all good luck. Wangliu Jialian and others had a drink at the mansion to reminisce about the past, and after inquiring about the Northwest in detail, they were reluctant to let him go.

After Jia Lian returned home, Jia She rarely told Jia Lian like a father: "Your father-in-law is straightforward and a rare good man. He treats you well. In the future, you must treat your wife well."

"I know." Jia Lian felt that what Jia She said was nonsense, and he would naturally love his daughter-in-law.After agreeing, it is time to say goodbye.

Jia She blew out his beard and stared: "Are you leaving now?"

Jia Lian turned her head: "Is there anything else?"

"No... yes." Jia She rolled his eyes and replied unhappily.Zheng was worried about what to tell Jia Lian, but when he looked up, he saw that Jia Lian had really left, and was about to step out of the door, "Come back!"

Jia Lian turned around and stood by the door, "Are you alright?"

"I heard..." Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes again, his tone hesitant, "You met... an acquaintance in the northwest?"

"No." Jia Lian simply replied to him, and then asked him if there was anything else.

Jia She scratched his nose, rolled his eyes, and looked at Jia Lian, "Sun Shaozu? Are you sure you haven't seen him? I heard that the reason why this kid was exiled to Fujian to do hard work is all because of your good deeds!" "

Jia Lian deliberately thought about it, "It seems that there is such an unimportant person, what can you do?"

"Of course I do my job!" Jia She blew on his beard and slapped the table.
