The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House
Chapter 53
Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, choking on what she said later, her face turned red, then blue, then gradually darkened, with uncontrollable anger.She shook her lips, her face seemed to be convulsed, and there was an indescribable distortion. In the end, her lips were tightly pressed together, and she didn't make any more noise, but the two lines of tears on her face became more and more surging.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's teary face, Jia Lian felt uncomfortable, frowned slightly, and turned her back to her.Even in the face of someone who makes him extremely unhappy, he still doesn't want to see a woman cry.
Madam Xing stared blankly at the situation in front of her, seeing that Madam Wang was completely suppressed by Jia Lian and couldn't move, she applauded countless times in her heart.Really relieved!Who would have thought that the Wang family, an imposing and arrogant daughter of the Wang family, would end up in such an embarrassing situation today.Although she didn't understand what happened, but seeing Mrs. Wang's guilty look, Mrs. Xing knew that it must be Wang's wrongdoing.
This Wang family is really shameless and shameless!Knowing that I made a mistake first, but pretending to be pitiful in front of others, there is no such reason.
When Jia Lian held his hand behind his back, he rubbed his index finger and thumb, all he could think about was the plum tree in his family, and he had long forgotten that there was a Mrs. Wang waiting for him on this occasion.
Madam Wang hatedly lowered her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but she couldn't hold back her breath. Anyway, she lost face, and Yuan Chun in the palace was his only hope, and he couldn't make any mistakes.Just because of this sliver of hope, he choked on his thick skin and forced himself to stay here.
Mrs. Xing thought that Mrs. Wang would cry and run out, so she looked at her unexpectedly: "But what's the matter, what happened to make my siblings so sad? Well, don't wrong yourself, if you feel wronged, it's too wronged Now, let's go to the old lady and have a good talk. If Lian'er is really bullying others because of his promotion, let alone the old lady, I will make the decision for you, sister-in-law."
As Mrs. Xing said, she pretended to help Mrs. Wang to sit beside her.
Mrs. Xing intentionally left which pot unopened and carried which pot. She knew that Mrs. Wang was wronged, but she insisted on exposing her scars and asked her to describe her own shortcomings.
Mrs. Wang naturally understood, and glared at Mrs. Xing angrily.When did even her useless sister-in-law learn how to be a ghost, and she knew how to use "two-faced three swords" against herself? It's too much!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help recalling the changes in her rights in the past two years, her nose was sore with grievances, and her tears were rushing down.Mrs. Wang proudly didn't want people to see her tears, and covered her face with a handkerchief.
"Look, you must be extremely wronged. Lian'er, you see that you are so angry with your second aunt, why don't you tell me what's going on?" Mrs. Xing asked with a smile on her lips.
Jia Lian turned to look at Mrs. Wang, seeing the tears of this servant, so she sat down at the end far away.
Mrs. Xing didn't really ask Jia Lian, but she told Mrs. Wang.She deliberately pointed her mouth in the direction of Mrs. Wang's ears. "I see, this matter must be clarified in front of the old lady!"
"No, it's not a big deal at all, why bother to make trouble in front of her old man." Mrs. Wang choked up for a moment, and immediately suppressed her excitement, gradually calmed down, and even her mouth became a lot smarter, "The old man usually does it for you." Aren't we children worrying enough? We should be filial, so that her old man can enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren, and don't let her be disturbed by these chores in the house, otherwise it will seem useless to us juniors. You say Isn't it, sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Xing glared at Mrs. Wang angrily, but she didn't expect to be choked back by Mrs. Wang, her face darkened immediately, and she sneered, "It's exactly what you said, who wants to bother her old man? I don’t say anything, I just said that because I care about you, you don’t appreciate it.”
Mrs. Wang didn't expect that she would be pushed back by Mrs. Xing, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Forget it, don't mention this. I have an important matter to discuss with Lian'er today. This matter is extremely confidential, please avoid it. "
"Hey, there are secrets in this house that I can't know? I'm really curious, what can I not hear?" Mrs. Xing was angry with Mrs. Wang, so she didn't want to give her face.
Mrs. Wang frowned in embarrassment, and turned to look at Jia Lian tentatively, hoping that he would promise to drive Mrs. Xing away.
After waiting for a long time, unexpectedly Jia Lian raised her head and only said: "There is nothing that the mistress of the house can shy away from. The second aunt said if she has something to do, you are fine and I have something to do, so I will leave first."
As Jia Lian spoke, she put down the teacup, and the moment her slender fingers left the rim of the cup, Mrs. Wang panicked and shouted "I say".
Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Xing with great reluctance, frowned and said to Jia Lian cryptically, "No matter what happened earlier, everyone was at fault. Whether I harbor evil intentions or you deliberately scheme against me, after all, the current situation is not right. You and I expected it. The thing was sent to the palace, and now it is in the hands of the queen. When the day after tomorrow, the queen mother's birthday, I'm afraid it will be taken out and sent to the queen mother. When your eldest sister presented the treasure, she mentioned you. If this incident gets out, I'm afraid it will really hurt you. Your eldest sister is a weak woman, and she is just an inconspicuous female official in the Queen's Palace. She is soft-spoken and can do too little. In such a short time It's impossible to solve the matter without revealing any traces. See if you have any connections, if you can help, just do your best, not only helping the family, but also helping yourself."
Mrs. Wang paused, seeing Jia Lian's deep eyes, she seemed to be thinking about it, and then said: "You just got such a good official as the servant of the household department, and you can shine on the lintel, you don't want to live such a good life for only a few days, right? "
Not to mention that the big family and the second family of Rongfu are still a family, even the four major families with different surnames, there is also a saying that 'one prospers both prosper, one loses both'.
Jia Lian naturally understood this principle. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Mrs. Wang. He saw that this woman had only a short time, and the tears on her face were gone, only her face was calculating, which was quite powerful.
Seeing that Jia Lian had listened to her words, Mrs. Wang's face became much calmer, and she even slandered Jia Lian in her heart, "I have to help this if I don't want to."
Jia Lian lifted the lid of the tea, threw it on the table casually, raised Erlang's legs, and twirled his fingertips back and forth on the rim of the cup that was glowing with enthusiasm.free, boring.
Mrs. Wang held back for a while, but couldn't wait any longer, "Lian'er, the palace gate is about to be closed!"
Mrs. Xing was too frightened to speak, she heard that this matter has something to do with the palace.It sounded very serious, and she was really afraid of the possibility of being ransacked and punished.
"Lian'er, this—"
Jia Lian glanced at Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing immediately understood and closed her mouth.Jia Lian turned his eyes again and looked at Mrs. Wang coldly.
Mrs. Wang stood up eagerly, and also looked at Jia Lian, as if she was very confident that she could wait for Jia Lian's answer.
"This is a favor—" Jia Lian frowned slightly, her voice was still steady, and then she made a long and flat tone at a key position, "I, no, help!"
Madam Wang's heart fell from the sky to the ground in an instant, and shattered into a puddle of flesh.She twisted and twitched the corners of her pale mouth, and finally... the last bit of hope was gone.Her teeth were chattering, her limbs were trembling uncontrollably, and her face was even hotter. After several times of begging, she was rejected by a junior. This kind of humiliation made her feel more humiliated, ashamed, and painful than being directly slapped.
"You...you..." Mrs. Wang was so angry that her whole body was weak, and she stuttered at the end of a sentence, and gradually couldn't speak clearly, and she couldn't stand up to the loud mosquitoes.
"The so-called self-inflicted crimes can't be lived. Whoever caused the trouble will settle it by himself. Heh, I don't have the leisure to take responsibility for your mistakes. Besides, I am a mere servant of the household department, how capable I am, dare to stretch out my hand to the emperor. Go to the harem? Even if I have the ability, I will never help you, so you give up. As for the dangerous possibilities you mentioned, they are indeed very likely to happen, but I believe that someone who is used to stealing has The strength of 'digging the door and stealing the hole', in short, there must be a solution under the strength of someone. Moreover, the eldest girl in the palace should also be a person with general knowledge, and it is impossible for her to do something called It's a stupid thing that the whole family is buried with you, even if her temperament follows you, but the experience in the palace these years is still rewarding." Jia Lian's stern sarcasm completely defeated Mrs. Wang's last defense.
Mrs. Wang was numb, with a blank face, big eyes, half-open mouth, and her legs were limp. When the maids had no time to react, she slumped on the ground.
Jia Lian snorted coldly, and overturned the teacup in hand, but it was only limited to overturning on the table.He is not as wasteful as Mrs. Wang, who just throws things.At any rate, these cups are top-grade products from official kilns. One cup can be exchanged for more than ten catties of rice, so it must not be extravagant.
But just so lightly, everyone knew that Jia Lian had really lost his temper.In the whole room, except Mrs. Wang, the rest of the trustworthy servant girls all knelt down in fear.
A woman took the lead, and said to Jia Lian obediently, "Second Master, calm down." Then, everyone comforted him in this way.
"Oh," Jia Lian bid farewell to Mrs. Xing briefly, then cast a sideways glance at Mrs. Wang, and said coldly, "Second Wife, this is just the beginning, you have to bear it well, otherwise you won't be able to sing in the future."
Forget it, he brushed his sleeves and went away without looking back.
That back view is so outstanding that people can't help but feel daunted.
All the servants slandered in their hearts: Second Master Lian is becoming more and more heroic, and people can't help but look forward to it, but they don't dare to have any obscene thoughts about him.
Mrs. Wang looked desperate, the feeling that her last hope was completely shattered made her life worse than death.Lost all face, spent all money, her mother's family broke up, the second room seems to be gone now, Yuanchun... what else does she have, she really deserves to die!
Mrs. Wang rushed out of the door excitedly.
Mrs. Xing stared at her back happily, and shouted deliberately: "Eh? Brother and sister are so anxious to leave, so busy that they don't have time to tell me? Hehe... I will come here often in the future, and we will often walk around when we see each other." How nice!"
Mrs. Xing chased to the door and shouted. Seeing Mrs. Wang walking away, she turned around, clutching her stomach and laughing loudly.So relieved!So cool!
Since the room is full of cronies, Mrs. Xing has no scruples and smiles indistinctly.So much so that Jia Amnesty, who had heard the news, saw this scene, and almost thought that Mrs. Xing had lost her mind, so she went to call the doctor.
Mrs. Xing covered her mouth and restrained herself, the general sat down and described the scene to Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty was delighted to hear that, and slapped his thigh, regretting that he was not there.
"That's right, I sent someone to inform the master a long time ago, why did the master come here?" Mrs. Xing looked at Jia She suspiciously, wondering which concubine's room he was enjoying and eating wine and wasting time.
When Jia Amnesty thought of Jia Lian, he looked embarrassed, subconsciously covered his face with his hands, and since he realized something was wrong, he pretended to scratch his face, "I just happened to have a stomachache, I wanted to show respect, and I missed it abruptly." After Jia She got the news, he wanted to watch the fun for a long time, but two days ago, the incident involving the widow of the Sun family made him ashamed to see Jia Lian again, and he has been avoiding him for the past few days.Today is the same. He hid outside the west wall for a long time, and dared not come until Jia Lian left.
Mrs. Xing didn't understand Jia Amnesty's 'difficulties', and she sighed that he missed the wonderful things. She cheerfully packed her clothes, then got up solemnly and went to Jia Mu's place to show her respect.
Not long after Jia Lian left Rongxi Hall, he was invited over by someone sent by Jia's mother.Mother Jia didn't know about the big event that happened in Dafang's second room just now, but she still had a cheerful face, smiling so kindly.She kept asking Jia Lian how he went to the household department on the first day today, but who could make things difficult for him.
Jia Lian answered briefly one by one.
Jia's mother sounded good, but she didn't believe it, she just shook her head: "Don't fool me, the first day you go, you are still such a young boy, how can you convince everyone. Someone will look down on you and hold resentment! This Fighting in the officialdom is more powerful than the battlefield. There are many intrigues. They hide their knives in secret and kill people invisible. You are the only remaining grandson of our Rongfu long house. You can't have any accidents. Think twice before acting. , be cautious, talk less and do more, get closer to your colleagues more, and don't be stingy. Don't be afraid of small losses, so you can last for a long time."
"That's right." Jia Lian nodded.What Jia Mu said was indeed a deliberate order and a good intention.
"I'm afraid that you are young, and the relationship among colleagues is a bit rough. There is no big patriarch in the officialdom who can protect you. It makes people happy and worried at the same time." Jia Mu said, patting her own cheek. Chest, take a deep breath.
"Old Ancestor, don't worry. No one else can compare to Lian's Second Brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been made a servant at such a young age. The Second Brother convinces others with his talent and virtue. People gradually understand, and they are like us, wanting to bow down to the second brother. Tell me, who in our Rongfu dares to say that he is not convinced by the second brother?" Daiyu said.
When Jia Mu heard this was the reason, she hugged Daiyu into her arms and said, "This family belongs to you and sticks to my heart."
Daiyu smiled shyly and acted like a baby.
Jia's mother was even more happy.
Tanchun secretly observed the situation of Jia Mu and Jia Lian, pondered for a while, and then said a few words.Give real examples and use facts to support what Daiyu said. It is nothing more than talking about which servants were consuls in front of Jia Lian, how they have changed, how they admire Jia Lian, etc. In short, they are all good words to set off Jia Lian's image.
Jia Lian listened very well and raised her eyebrows, admiring Tanchun's ability to see the wind and turn the rudder.This exquisite style is even better than Mrs. Wang's.But after all, she is a concubine who begs for life in front of Jia's mother, which is fundamentally different from Mrs. Wang.It is not easy for her to be so 'competitive' because of circumstances.
In contrast, Yingchun seemed to be much kinder, and he smiled and echoed a few words, so he didn't say anything.But she was happy for Jia Lian from the bottom of her heart. When Jia Lian went back earlier, a maid brought Yingchun to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake as a congratulatory gift.As for Xichun, she was still young, and every time she saw Jia Lian she felt a little cowardly, she just nodded with a smile and didn't speak too much.Xing Xiuyan is not here, she is now learning to be a housekeeper from Mrs. Xing, so it is normal that she is not here at this moment.Even if she is here, with her nature, she should avoid suspicion.
Jia Min laughed enough and said, "Is there really anything I can't do? Write to your Uncle Lin happily. He has been an official for so many years, and he can always give you a few words of wisdom. If you ask, he will definitely give you money." Send them off!"
"Then I really have to ask, I have a problem right now." Jia Lian smiled, and immediately thought of Zhou Qingyuan.This person gave him a very familiar impression, a kind of instant sight of Jia Zheng coming to his face.Even if this person is fine now, it will be a problem sooner or later, so we have to take precautions in advance.
Jia Min was very happy when he heard the words, and just took this opportunity to write to Lin Ruhai.Her illness has almost recovered, and Daiyu's child's symptoms have not appeared for half a year, besides, she has stayed at her mother's house long enough.Husband and wife should not be separated for a long time, and she was always concerned about Lin Ruhai's health. She had told the chief physician about Lin Ruhai's symptoms of being weak, sleeping and sweating, and obtained a lot of ways to maintain her health and regulate her body.
Now she doesn't think about her son anymore, sometimes Jia Min thinks it's better not to raise an ignorant son.For example, Baoyu, raised by the second sister-in-law, is the devil incarnate who makes people always worry about it.On the surface, the kid was afraid of his second elder brother Lian, so he went to school to study in a serious manner during the day, but when he got home, he would have fun in front of the old lady like a wild horse that had run off the rein, and what he did behind his back was even more disturbing Don't be ashamed.
A few days ago, the old lady just woke up and wanted to call Baoyu.Jia Min saw that Jia Mu was washing and happened to be free, so she took someone to call Baoyu in person. Before entering the house, she heard the sound of frolicking in the house. , his own mouth also pouts, obviously wanting to kiss, and also euphemistically called "eating rouge".At that time, the disgusting Jia Min almost vomited her lunch. She has been living here in the back house for many years, and she has heard of the affairs of those men outside, but this is the first time she heard that someone would call kissing "eating" Rouge" title.
And Baoyu's behavior doesn't look like a legitimate son!Even when the eldest brother was young, he never saw such indecent behavior as Baoyu.
Afterwards, Jia Min asked someone to inquire about it, and Baoyu really shamelessly came to eat rouge when she saw a beautiful maid.It made her stare at Daiyu nervously for the past few days, for fear that her daughter would leave her sight, and it also prompted her to go home as soon as possible.
So, she doesn't ask for this son anymore, people shouldn't be greedy, just cherish what is in front of them.As long as the three of them can be together safely, she will be satisfied.
Jia Lian looked at Jia Min as if he was in a bad mood, so he sent someone to ask afterward.
Jia Min came to see Jia Lian in person and told Jia Lian what was in his heart.Jia Min is the most at ease when he leaves it to Jia Lian to do anything.As for Baoyu eating rouge, Jia Min also said it.
Jia Lian was very displeased: "I sent four wives to him before, why is it useless?"
"It's not useless, it's useful! It's just that the child pretended to be pitiful and made a fuss in front of the old lady a few days ago. The old lady dismissed the four wives behind the back of the second master. She was ruthless to everyone in the room." No one is allowed to tell you the truth, whoever tells it will be dealt with according to the family law, and will be punished with [-] boards. If the beating continues, it will be fatal. Who dares to say it? Besides, the old lady’s room is full of people in front of her. Naturally, I will not be loyal to you." Jia Min said.
Jia Lian narrowed her eyes and sneered: "I see, please tell my aunt."
"You can't tell me what I'm suing. The old lady Baobuqi knows that she is so cruel that she doesn't even recognize my daughter. She spoils Baoyu so much that we can't fight recklessly. Besides, I'm about to I've gone back, so we can't divorce her mother-daughter relationship." Jia Min worried.
Jia Lian nodded, reassuring Jia Min.As soon as she left, Jia Lian asked someone to call Hong'er who was beside Baoyu.Jia Lian still didn't say anything, just had a gloomy face, and Hong'er was so frightened that she knelt down to apologize for her mistake, and confessed the truth.
"Second Lord, it's not that the slaves are hiding it intentionally. It's because the old lady has become suspicious these days and has been punished harshly. A slave's life is nothing. I'm afraid that my recklessness will hurt my parents, so I haven't dared to say it. Second Master Bao sent away the four wives. Now the old lady rewarded four beautiful maids to enter Second Master Bao's room. The name is the same, except for the name 'Xi Ren', Musk Moon and the like are complete. The servant girl is still a third class now, and can no longer enter the second master Bao's room. Just watch." Hong'er cried.
"If you don't like it, don't do it. Discuss with your mother, stay at home for a while, and I will pay you the money. After that, I will have a good job for you." Jia Lian said.
When Hong'er heard this, she was very pleasantly surprised. Being with Second Master Lian has a better future than Second Master Bao.She hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, and within two days, she did as Second Master Lian said, citing her poor health as an excuse to hide at home for the time being.Baoyu has new maids to play around with, and he doesn't like to take care of Hong'er who just obeys Lian's second brother and urges him to take medicine and study.Hong'er felt at ease now.
But Jia Lian was in a "good mood" and set his sights on Baoyu, the little fat man who was obedient and obedient.
Now Baoyu has drunk the medicine for two months.He takes medicine three times a day, and eats half a plate of candied fruit every time he takes medicine. In just two months, he has rapidly gained weight and become a leader in the fat world.Because Baoyu is still young and not tall, she is chubby and cute.But after he stopped taking the medicine, he still couldn't get rid of his habit of eating sweets, so he might continue to gain weight.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's teary face, Jia Lian felt uncomfortable, frowned slightly, and turned her back to her.Even in the face of someone who makes him extremely unhappy, he still doesn't want to see a woman cry.
Madam Xing stared blankly at the situation in front of her, seeing that Madam Wang was completely suppressed by Jia Lian and couldn't move, she applauded countless times in her heart.Really relieved!Who would have thought that the Wang family, an imposing and arrogant daughter of the Wang family, would end up in such an embarrassing situation today.Although she didn't understand what happened, but seeing Mrs. Wang's guilty look, Mrs. Xing knew that it must be Wang's wrongdoing.

"Oh," Jia Lian bid farewell to Mrs. Xing briefly, then cast a sideways glance at Mrs. Wang, and said coldly, "Second Wife, this is just the beginning, you have to bear it well, otherwise you won't be able to sing in the future."
Forget it, he brushed his sleeves and went away without looking back.
That back view is so outstanding that people can't help but feel daunted.
All the servants slandered in their hearts: Second Master Lian is becoming more and more heroic, and people can't help but look forward to it, but they don't dare to have any obscene thoughts about him.
Mrs. Wang looked desperate, the feeling that her last hope was completely shattered made her life worse than death.Lost all face, spent all money, her mother's family broke up, the second room seems to be gone now, Yuanchun... what else does she have, she really deserves to die!
Mrs. Wang rushed out of the door excitedly.
Mrs. Xing stared at her back happily, and shouted deliberately: "Eh? Brother and sister are so anxious to leave, so busy that they don't have time to tell me? Hehe... I will come here often in the future, and we will often walk around when we see each other." How nice!"
Mrs. Xing chased to the door and shouted. Seeing Mrs. Wang walking away, she turned around, clutching her stomach and laughing loudly.So relieved!So cool!
Since the room is full of cronies, Mrs. Xing has no scruples and smiles indistinctly.So much so that Jia Amnesty, who had heard the news, saw this scene, and almost thought that Mrs. Xing had lost her mind, so she went to call the doctor.
Mrs. Xing covered her mouth and restrained herself, the general sat down and described the scene to Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty was delighted to hear that, and slapped his thigh, regretting that he was not there.
"That's right, I sent someone to inform the master a long time ago, why did the master come here?" Mrs. Xing looked at Jia She suspiciously, wondering which concubine's room he was enjoying and eating wine and wasting time.
When Jia Amnesty thought of Jia Lian, he looked embarrassed, subconsciously covered his face with his hands, and since he realized something was wrong, he pretended to scratch his face, "I just happened to have a stomachache, I wanted to show respect, and I missed it abruptly." After Jia She got the news, he wanted to watch the fun for a long time, but two days ago, the incident involving the widow of the Sun family made him ashamed to see Jia Lian again, and he has been avoiding him for the past few days.Today is the same. He hid outside the west wall for a long time, and dared not come until Jia Lian left.
Mrs. Xing didn't understand Jia Amnesty's 'difficulties', and she sighed that he missed the wonderful things. She cheerfully packed her clothes, then got up solemnly and went to Jia Mu's place to show her respect.
Not long after Jia Lian left Rongxi Hall, he was invited over by someone sent by Jia's mother.Mother Jia didn't know about the big event that happened in Dafang's second room just now, but she still had a cheerful face, smiling so kindly.She kept asking Jia Lian how he went to the household department on the first day today, but who could make things difficult for him.
Jia Lian answered briefly one by one.
Jia's mother sounded good, but she didn't believe it, she just shook her head: "Don't fool me, the first day you go, you are still such a young boy, how can you convince everyone. Someone will look down on you and hold resentment! This Fighting in the officialdom is more powerful than the battlefield. There are many intrigues. They hide their knives in secret and kill people invisible. You are the only remaining grandson of our Rongfu long house. You can't have any accidents. Think twice before acting. , be cautious, talk less and do more, get closer to your colleagues more, and don't be stingy. Don't be afraid of small losses, so you can last for a long time."
"That's right." Jia Lian nodded.What Jia Mu said was indeed a deliberate order and a good intention.
"I'm afraid that you are young, and the relationship among colleagues is a bit rough. There is no big patriarch in the officialdom who can protect you. It makes people happy and worried at the same time." Jia Mu said, patting her own cheek. Chest, take a deep breath.
"Old Ancestor, don't worry. No one else can compare to Lian's Second Brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been made a servant at such a young age. The Second Brother convinces others with his talent and virtue. People gradually understand, and they are like us, wanting to bow down to the second brother. Tell me, who in our Rongfu dares to say that he is not convinced by the second brother?" Daiyu said.
When Jia Mu heard this was the reason, she hugged Daiyu into her arms and said, "This family belongs to you and sticks to my heart."
Daiyu smiled shyly and acted like a baby.
Jia's mother was even more happy.
Tanchun secretly observed the situation of Jia Mu and Jia Lian, pondered for a while, and then said a few words.Give real examples and use facts to support what Daiyu said. It is nothing more than talking about which servants were consuls in front of Jia Lian, how they have changed, how they admire Jia Lian, etc. In short, they are all good words to set off Jia Lian's image.
Jia Lian listened very well and raised her eyebrows, admiring Tanchun's ability to see the wind and turn the rudder.This exquisite style is even better than Mrs. Wang's.But after all, she is a concubine who begs for life in front of Jia's mother, which is fundamentally different from Mrs. Wang.It is not easy for her to be so 'competitive' because of circumstances.
In contrast, Yingchun seemed to be much kinder, and he smiled and echoed a few words, so he didn't say anything.But she was happy for Jia Lian from the bottom of her heart. When Jia Lian went back earlier, a maid brought Yingchun to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake as a congratulatory gift.As for Xichun, she was still young, and every time she saw Jia Lian she felt a little cowardly, she just nodded with a smile and didn't speak too much.Xing Xiuyan is not here, she is now learning to be a housekeeper from Mrs. Xing, so it is normal that she is not here at this moment.Even if she is here, with her nature, she should avoid suspicion.
Jia Min laughed enough and said, "Is there really anything I can't do? Write to your Uncle Lin happily. He has been an official for so many years, and he can always give you a few words of wisdom. If you ask, he will definitely give you money." Send them off!"
"Then I really have to ask, I have a problem right now." Jia Lian smiled, and immediately thought of Zhou Qingyuan.This person gave him a very familiar impression, a kind of instant sight of Jia Zheng coming to his face.Even if this person is fine now, it will be a problem sooner or later, so we have to take precautions in advance.
Jia Min was very happy when he heard the words, and just took this opportunity to write to Lin Ruhai.Her illness has almost recovered, and Daiyu's child's symptoms have not appeared for half a year, besides, she has stayed at her mother's house long enough.Husband and wife should not be separated for a long time, and she was always concerned about Lin Ruhai's health. She had told the chief physician about Lin Ruhai's symptoms of being weak, sleeping and sweating, and obtained a lot of ways to maintain her health and regulate her body.
Now she doesn't think about her son anymore, sometimes Jia Min thinks it's better not to raise an ignorant son.For example, Baoyu, raised by the second sister-in-law, is the devil incarnate who makes people always worry about it.On the surface, the kid was afraid of his second elder brother Lian, so he went to school to study in a serious manner during the day, but when he got home, he would have fun in front of the old lady like a wild horse that had run off the rein, and what he did behind his back was even more disturbing Don't be ashamed.
A few days ago, the old lady just woke up and wanted to call Baoyu.Jia Min saw that Jia Mu was washing and happened to be free, so she took someone to call Baoyu in person. Before entering the house, she heard the sound of frolicking in the house. , his own mouth also pouts, obviously wanting to kiss, and also euphemistically called "eating rouge".At that time, the disgusting Jia Min almost vomited her lunch. She has been living here in the back house for many years, and she has heard of the affairs of those men outside, but this is the first time she heard that someone would call kissing "eating" Rouge" title.
And Baoyu's behavior doesn't look like a legitimate son!Even when the eldest brother was young, he never saw such indecent behavior as Baoyu.
Afterwards, Jia Min asked someone to inquire about it, and Baoyu really shamelessly came to eat rouge when she saw a beautiful maid.It made her stare at Daiyu nervously for the past few days, for fear that her daughter would leave her sight, and it also prompted her to go home as soon as possible.
So, she doesn't ask for this son anymore, people shouldn't be greedy, just cherish what is in front of them.As long as the three of them can be together safely, she will be satisfied.
Jia Lian looked at Jia Min as if he was in a bad mood, so he sent someone to ask afterward.
Jia Min came to see Jia Lian in person and told Jia Lian what was in his heart.Jia Min is the most at ease when he leaves it to Jia Lian to do anything.As for Baoyu eating rouge, Jia Min also said it.
Jia Lian was very displeased: "I sent four wives to him before, why is it useless?"
"It's not useless, it's useful! It's just that the child pretended to be pitiful and made a fuss in front of the old lady a few days ago. The old lady dismissed the four wives behind the back of the second master. She was ruthless to everyone in the room." No one is allowed to tell you the truth, whoever tells it will be dealt with according to the family law, and will be punished with [-] boards. If the beating continues, it will be fatal. Who dares to say it? Besides, the old lady’s room is full of people in front of her. Naturally, I will not be loyal to you." Jia Min said.
Jia Lian narrowed her eyes and sneered: "I see, please tell my aunt."
"You can't tell me what I'm suing. The old lady Baobuqi knows that she is so cruel that she doesn't even recognize my daughter. She spoils Baoyu so much that we can't fight recklessly. Besides, I'm about to I've gone back, so we can't divorce her mother-daughter relationship." Jia Min worried.
Jia Lian nodded, reassuring Jia Min.As soon as she left, Jia Lian asked someone to call Hong'er who was beside Baoyu.Jia Lian still didn't say anything, just had a gloomy face, and Hong'er was so frightened that she knelt down to apologize for her mistake, and confessed the truth.
"Second Lord, it's not that the slaves are hiding it intentionally. It's because the old lady has become suspicious these days and has been punished harshly. A slave's life is nothing. I'm afraid that my recklessness will hurt my parents, so I haven't dared to say it. Second Master Bao sent away the four wives. Now the old lady rewarded four beautiful maids to enter Second Master Bao's room. The name is the same, except for the name 'Xi Ren', Musk Moon and the like are complete. The servant girl is still a third class now, and can no longer enter the second master Bao's room. Just watch." Hong'er cried.
"If you don't like it, don't do it. Discuss with your mother, stay at home for a while, and I will pay you the money. After that, I will have a good job for you." Jia Lian said.
When Hong'er heard this, she was very pleasantly surprised. Being with Second Master Lian has a better future than Second Master Bao.She hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, and within two days, she did as Second Master Lian said, citing her poor health as an excuse to hide at home for the time being.Baoyu has new maids to play around with, and he doesn't like to take care of Hong'er who just obeys Lian's second brother and urges him to take medicine and study.Hong'er felt at ease now.
But Jia Lian was in a "good mood" and set his sights on Baoyu, the little fat man who was obedient and obedient.
Now Baoyu has drunk the medicine for two months.He takes medicine three times a day, and eats half a plate of candied fruit every time he takes medicine. In just two months, he has rapidly gained weight and become a leader in the fat world.Because Baoyu is still young and not tall, she is chubby and cute.But after he stopped taking the medicine, he still couldn't get rid of his habit of eating sweets, so he might continue to gain weight.
