[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 40

Jia Lian's slightly frowned eyebrows fell into Mei Xiruo's eyes, and her black eyes rolled away. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Jia, isn't Bai Lu right?"

"No, what she said is not wrong to a certain extent." Jia Lian squatted down in front of Mei Xiruo.

Under the combined effect of Yijin Forging Bone Pill and martial arts training, his height far exceeds that of his peers.After squatting down like this, his eyes were just at the same level as Mei Xiruo who was still a little Douding.This is a method taught to him by the system. It is said that when facing children, talking with such eye-level eyes will make the other party feel respected, and the conversation will go smoothly.

"But what she said is incomplete. Husband and wife can't live a lifetime by playing games together." Jia Lian smiled, but his eyes were empty and confused. difficulty……"

"Ah..." Mei Xiruo still tilted her head, her face full of troubles, "Young Master Jia, Xi Ruo can't even understand what you said, what should I do?"

"It's okay." Jia Lian returned to reality from the memories with Wang Xifeng, and he patted her on the head lightly, "Xiruo is still very young, when Xiruo grows up, she will understand what I mean .”

"Brother Lian is a bully, and Mingming's mother always said that Xi Ruo has grown up to be a big girl." She pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "The same goes for cousin, brother Lian and you, they all treat Xi Ruo like a child." !"

Jia Lian's address for her had just changed from Miss Mei to Xi Ruo, and she immediately changed from Young Master Jia to Brother Lian.But it is precisely because she is a child that Jia Lian doesn't feel anything wrong with her change of words. If the person who did this was a little older, he probably has to think carefully about the various gains and losses involved.

"That's because Xiruo, you are indeed a child." Jia Lian finally stretched out his magic hand to Mei Xiruo's cheek and squeezed it lightly. The soft touch made him sigh with satisfaction in his heart, "The child will Like a child, don't think too much now, just enjoy your childhood. The childhood of children like us will not be long."

As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, Meixi's big black eyes darkened quickly.The gloom disappeared so quickly that Jia Lian, who was looking at her at the same level, didn't notice it, let alone the people around her.

"I told you I'm not a child anymore, don't touch my head like this all the time!" The little girl raised her hand to protect her baotou with the word "pearl chain" hanging on it, and scolded Jia Lian.

"Yes, yes, Xiruo is a big girl." Jia Lian stood up, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.

Such an innocent, soft and well-behaved girl, under the upbringing of the Mei family, must have a completely different personality from Wang Xifeng when she grows up.There is nothing wrong with a woman being competitive, but without such brains and methods and being cruel and ruthless, it is absolutely impossible for the reborn Jia Lian to make such a woman his wife.

After glaring at him fiercely, Mei Xiruo turned her head and ignored him, but muttered in her mouth: "Just continue to perfunctory me like this, daddy is like this, cousin is like this, and you are like this, no wonder mother often talks to me in private. It's not a good thing for Mammy to talk about men."

Jia Lian, who has a keen sense of hearing, staggered abruptly. Is this how you understand the sentence "men are not good things"?With a wry smile, he turned his head sideways, clenched his hand into a fist, and coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and then asked, "Miss Mei, are you going to continue to visit the Royal Garden, or go back to the empress?"

"Hey, I already called you Brother Lian, and you called me Xi Ruo before, why did you turn back to Miss Mei again!" She wrinkled her nose cutely, and Mei Xiruo looked at Jia Lian dissatisfied, "Could it be Lian?" Brother, you don't regard Xi Ruo as a friend?"

Although she is the spoiled daughter-in-law of Duke Cheng's mansion, but because the gate of Duke Cheng's mansion is closed, the whole family does not go out or entertain guests except for necessary entertainment. Since she was born, she has not been accompanied by her peers. The fifth elder brother who is closest to her in the palace is also nearly six years older than her.

Entering the palace this time is the first time she has left the house, and Jia Lian is the first person she knows who is similar to her age.What's more, this is the person that her family and her prince's cousin have agreed to be close to, otherwise how could she be so naturally close to him.

But just now, because of Jia Lian's words, she really felt close to Jia Lian.

If Meixi is only in her early three years old, it is true that she is still naive in some respects, but the family she grew up in is destined to be different from ordinary three-year-old girls.

Jia Lian didn't get along very much with his daughter in his previous life. In this life, he himself is a fake child, and he has little contact with Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun from the second room. How could he know what an ordinary three-year-old girl should be like.

Therefore, the relationship between the two reached a harmony in such a weird way.

"I'm sorry, Xi Ruo is right, brother Lian will never make mistakes again." Jia Lian didn't want to explain anything to a child, so it would be better to admit his mistakes directly. If Mei Xi was satisfied, he would be relaxed, "Then Xiruo, have you decided, should you go back or continue to visit the garden?"

Looking up at the slanting sun in the sky, Mei Xiruo quickly made a decision: "Let's go back, it's getting late, Xiruo will have to leave the palace with mother soon."

"Didn't you just hear that maid in the pavilion say that the empress will keep you in the palace for a few days?" Jia Lian accompanied Mei Xiruo to Empress Mei's palace, but after walking a few steps, he remembered Bilian's words If so, he couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, I forgot." Mei Xiruo looked at Jia Lian annoyedly, and then said miserably, "Brother Lian, can you come and accompany me while I'm living in the palace?" She didn't call herself Xi Ruo any more, but called me directly.

"Brother Lian is your ninth cousin's companion. He usually studies in the study from morning to afternoon, and learns riding and archery in the school yard after afternoon. After the day's study is over, it's almost time to leave the palace." Jia Lian said I am willing to cultivate more relationships with my future daughter-in-law, but the reality does not allow it.It is an exception for the two of them to have such a meeting today.

Mei Xiruo's pink mouth immediately flattened.She thought she could have one more playmate, but in the end she could only play by herself.

"Don't be unhappy, after Xiruo leaves the palace, if Brother Lian has time, he will go to Cheng'en Gongfu to find you, okay?" Even if his relationship with Mei Xiruo cannot be formalized, Jia Daishan will bring him Jia Lian is still very sure about visiting Cheng'en Gong's mansion.

This time, he and the two children of Mei Xiruo were asked to meet, but the elders of the two families had to come forward to talk about anything.Although Jia Lian felt that the elders of the two families had probably reached an agreement.But finally, the two parents and elders have consulted the opinions of their two children, otherwise why would they let them meet.

The more he thought about it, the more complicated Jia Lian simply put all these things behind him.When his IQ was not enough, the system tried every means to cultivate his analysis and planning ability, but after he habitually racked his brains to figure out everything, the system taught him to learn how to be confused.

If it weren't for Jia Lian's extraordinary understanding, he would probably have become a lunatic under the contradictory education of the system.

There is a distance between the Imperial Garden and the Yongshou Palace of Empress Mei. A group of people passed through the door between Yangxing Zhai and Jingtian Zhai, and Mei Xiruo couldn't move.Jia Lian was willing to serve his little daughter-in-law, but the nanny behind them was not for decoration.

In the middle of the journey, after Meixi Ruo changed the arms of three nuns, the gate of Yongshou Palace, Yongshou Gate, appeared in front of everyone.

After the little eunuch was passed on, Jia Lian followed Mei Xiruo into Yongshou Palace for the second time.The last time he came was his first day as a companion. After the morning class in the study room, he came with the two princes to greet the queen.Since the Ninth Prince was raised under the name of Empress Mei, he, the companion of the Ninth Prince, naturally had to pay a visit to the Queen.

In the main hall of Yongshou Palace, Empress Mei sat on the main seat of the main hall, and on the first seat below her right hand sat a middle-aged woman with a gentle smile in a fragrant robe.Thinking about it, this woman should be Mei Xiruo's mother, Mrs. Mei.

Knowing that this Jia Lian might be his future mother-in-law, his actions were more regular when greeting the queen, and the smile on his face was also more gentle.It's not so easy to marry this sweet wife, and just now on the way, the system gave her a little knowledge about the Mei family.

In her previous life, Mei Xiruo married only the No. [-] from a poor family, but this No. [-] was the confidant of the Seventh Prince.Moreover, this No. [-] candidate made a promise to Duke Cheng'en's mansion when he proposed to marry Mei Xiruo, unless he was forty years old and had nothing to do, otherwise he would definitely not accept two colors.

It was rumored in the capital that the No. [-] candidate had a deep affection for Miss Mei, but the system told Jia Lian the truth that the Mei family's requirement for marrying a daughter is that the son-in-law must promise to be a couple for a lifetime, provided there is no problem with the succession of the offspring.

Regarding the rule that a concubine's wife at the age of thirty or forty has no place to take concubines, Jia Lian has learned from Zhang that this is a rule shared by most scholarly families.But for Xungui, the children of poor families, and the family of farming and studying, this rule is simply something they sneer at.

Especially those students who came from a poor family and finally made it to the dragon's gate, they have a soft spot for taking concubines.For them, the concubine is their face, if there is no concubine, what is the point of being an official!The imperial court has regulations, and the fourth-rank officials are only allowed to take concubines. This is the biggest difference between them and ordinary people.

But the second place in the previous life was able to agree to this request from Cheng'en Gongfu, which only shows that the whole Cheng'en Gong's family really regards Mei Xiruo very seriously.Moreover, to the Seventh Prince, Mei Xiruo, the little cousin, is indeed different.You know, Emperor Zhaoming's princess and sister also had concubines and concubines after they got married, and he never intervened.But Mei Xiruo's second-best husband-in-law was approached by his brother-in-law, the emperor's cousin, to have a heart-to-heart talk with him!

For some reason, the interaction between Situ Yuan and Mei Xiruo in Wanrui Pavilion suddenly flashed in Jia Lian's mind, who was kneeling under Queen Mei.

Cousins ​​and cousins ​​are indeed the most dangerous relationship in the world!
