The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

"If I don't come back, I don't know how I will cry."

"Who wants to cry like that?" Xu Qingheng laughed angrily.

Seeing that Xu Qingheng calmed down, Jia Lian was also relieved, and was about to take back Xu Qingheng's hand, but saw her tightly hugging his waist, lying firmly on his arm.

"Anyway, you can't sleep with me..."

"You asked me to go back to Jinghuanzhai to sleep?" Jia Lian was a little happy when he heard that he couldn't sleep well for half a month.

"No, please look at the fourth brother for me. I fell asleep. Is my braid inside the quilt, or is it exposed?" Xu Qingheng turned his head, so that Jia Lian could see the little braid on her head, and put it close Seeing Jia Lian close his eyes, smelling the clean and fresh breath on his body, he wondered in his heart when he would come back after he left.

Jia Lian tried to pull her hand away, but seeing that she couldn't pull it away, she told her to lie down like that, yawning from time to time, thinking wildly to make herself fall asleep, thinking more and more, only to feel that Xu Qingheng's breathing became clearer and noisy, and fell asleep more and more like this No more, she had nothing to do, holding a hand on her face indiscriminately, probably blocking Xu Qingheng's nostrils, she couldn't help turning her head, so the hand that was originally on her face slipped down, Unconsciously, she slipped onto a soft place, and after her heart skipped a beat, she heard Xu Qingheng's breathing like a veil, and immediately felt that the sleepless breathing was even more restless, so she stretched out her hand and pulled Xu Qingheng inward. After a push, he sat up, turned on the lamp by himself, randomly found a book that Xu Qingheng read every day, and sat on the chair beside the bed to read the book.

Early the next morning, Jia Lian went out after opening the courtyard door.

After Xu Qingheng got up, Wen Yu immediately handed her a note.

Opening the note, seeing the words "in the quilt" written on it, Xu Qingheng let out a laugh, pursed his lips and smiled for a long time, thinking that she should be ranked third, Jia Lian couldn't sleep on the left and right, so she still slept here , so not to mention deep affection, it can also be regarded as harmony between husband and wife.

So Xu Qingheng also wrote the word "thank you" and asked the maid to pass it to Jia Lian in front of him. When Jia Lian replied the word "you are polite", he saw the dog in the yard clumsily circling around biting its tail to play, so he wrote on the note again. It was written "Please take a look, my husband, do I sleep more on my side or more on my back", and it was still sent to Jia Lian.But for a moment, Jia Lian replied the note and agreed, but Xu Qingheng wondered boredly whether he was lying on his side or on his back when he slept.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, when Xu Qingheng woke up, he saw a flower stick next to his pillow, on which he tirelessly recorded a certain moment when Xu Qingheng fell asleep, turned over at a certain moment, babbled at a certain moment, and Calculate how long you sleep on your side, how long you lie flat, how much you move inward, and how much you move outward.

Looking at the flower lottery, Xu Qingheng couldn't help regretting that she had been fighting with Jia Lian for half a month, and only discovered such an interesting game when he was about to leave. It's just a pity that Jia Lian's records were too detailed, which made her want to play again. There is no reason.

Just thinking about how to find an errand for Jia Lian, Yingchun hurried in, wearing a double ring bun and a silver-red fringed skirt.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up to the old lady's place. Brother's letter of appointment has come down. Elder Master and brother have already passed away." Yingchun joyfully supported Xu Qingheng and went out.

Xu Qingheng hurriedly put away the papers, tidied them up, then pretended to be happy and went out with Yingchun. The two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law went into Jiamu's yard, and saw Jia Zhu accompanied Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and his wife. , probably because of a happy event, even Baoyu, Tanchun, and Jiahuan brothers and sisters came with them.

When Jia Zhu, Baoyu and others saw Xu Qingheng coming, they hurriedly congratulated her.

"It's really double happiness." Madam Wang smiled, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Jia Zheng shook his beard and regretted, "It's a pity that he swore to be loyal to the prince before, but he actually wanted to get Lian'er out of the capital and go to Guangdong."

"Go to Guangdong?" Yingchun first heard that Jia Lian was going to be an official, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed. Now that she heard that Jia Lian was going to leave Beijing, she was immediately poured cold water on her, and quickly turned her eyes to Xu Qingheng.

Xu Qingheng pretended to be surprised and said: "How could this happen, my grandfather also helped to find an errand."

"Although I'm helping you find it, it's better than not having an errand for your cousin or direct brother." Jia Zheng said dissatisfiedly.

"Master..." Jia Zhu frowned slightly.

Mrs. Wang smiled very comfortably: "Don't say it, after all, it is the errand that the lord is looking for, what is the worst possible situation? Go in and listen to what Brother Lian has to say." The breath in his throat finally came out, and he took Baoyu briskly to Jiamu's room.

After entering the room, I saw Jia's mother smiling, with a very calm face. Jia Amnesty was as regretful as Jia Zheng, and kept saying to Jia Lian: "There is no need for this poor official to do it. Why bother to eat that?" suffering?"

Xu Qingheng wondered if the Jia family wanted to make Jia Lian reach the sky in one step?

"Tell your father-in-law and uncle to do activities later. It's better to find an official in Jiangsu area than to go there." Jia Amnesty glanced at Xu Qingheng intentionally.

Xu Qingheng lowered his head and remained silent. Could it be that the whole world is a king's land? Doesn't Jia She think that Jiangsu has become their family's possession?

Jia Lian glanced at Xu Qingheng reassuringly, then looked at Jia Mu, and said shamelessly: "It's because the grandson is not capable enough, and the old grandmother is worried and frightened."

"Although it's not a good official, at least it was found by the loyal prince. Besides, the immediate boss is also a friend of the prince for many years. It's just a formality, to stay for three to five years, and get promoted later. An idler's mouth. I don't want to do this, and I don't want to do that. It's better not to be an official and enjoy the blessings at home." The old god Jia Mu sat on the couch with her hands folded, her face happy Anger is obscure.Although she didn't know what Jia Lian was going to do, Jia Min was her daughter after all, and she vaguely sensed from Jia Min that going here might lead to a bright future, so she didn't pay attention to the little sesame official.

Now that Jia Mu had spoken, the corners of Jia She's mouth twitched again and again, but he couldn't say anything else.

Jia Zheng thought about it for a while, and felt that what Jia's mother said was very reasonable.

Baoyu, Tanchun, etc. don't know, and they are not qualified to intervene.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, you also want to go with me? Brother Lian is only an official. I don't know that it is important to make good friends with the gentry in one party. If you neglect those local snakes, you will suffer a loss. In this case, you have to call your nephew. The daughter-in-law went with her to make some arrangements. My nephew and daughter-in-law are from a family, so she should be able to deal with those family members of the gentry and women with ease." Mrs. Wang thought in her heart that Jia Lian would be able to come back in three to five years, so it must be I took the newlywed Yaner's wife away, so that the Rongxi Hall will be returned to her without any effort, "So, do you want to take the eldest wife home to take care of the Rongxi Hall?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia She when she was talking, seeing that Jia She became angry when she heard the word "big wife", she was overjoyed.

Sure enough, before the others could say anything, Jia Amnesty slammed his crutches on the ground angrily: "What are you doing after picking her up again? Just ask her to steal things from my house?"

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, so she wanted to see Jia Lian's expression. When she turned her head to meet Jia Lian's understanding expression, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Jia Zhengfang only regretted that Jia Lian's official position was not high enough. Now he followed Mrs. Wang's and Jia She's words and said, "Nephew and daughter-in-law must follow, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the in-laws. The Elder Master doesn't allow the Eldest Wife to come back." , so, who does the old lady want to take care of? Who does Rongxitang want to take care of?"

Mrs. Wang seized the opportunity and said: "...Why don't you ask Lan Ge'er and his mother to help out, Mr. Li's character is known to Mr. Lian and Brother Lian..."

"No way," Jia Zhu interrupted Mrs. Wang's words with two coughs, and said with a bow, "My son is weak and needs her to take care of her, and Lan'er is young and needs her to raise him. In this case, Mrs. Li also has no skills to spare. I'm afraid You will wrong the old lady even more." Annoyed that Mrs. Wang would always do such a thing of "caring about other people's worries" and causing him and Jia Lian to have a rift, she coughed twice again.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, so how do we manage such a big house?" Mrs. Wang asked anxiously.

For a while, the hall became quiet.

Jia Lian laughed heartily, no matter what, it's not Mrs. Wang's turn to take care of her.

Xu Qingheng had watched Mrs. Wang's drama enough, and knew that it was time for her to appear on the stage, so she took a step forward and said sadly and generously: "The Xu family's upbringing is that filial piety is the first priority. With the old lady and the elders around, I would rather bear the burden." If the old lady and the elder master want me to take office with the second master, they will not trust my ability. If so, I might as well ask for a letter of divorce. Feng, I shaved my head to be my sister-in-law." As she spoke, she walked up to Mother Jia with tears in her eyes and was about to kneel down for her.

Mother Jia hurriedly bent down to hug her, stroked Xu Qingheng's back comfortingly with one hand, and pointed at Mrs. Wang with the other, and said, "You're so happy, you're out to cause trouble again! If you don't stare at Rongxitang for a day, you Can't you feel uncomfortable all over?"

"Grandmother, the second wife is very considerate and considerate of my nephew, and it's too late for my nephew to be grateful." As Jia Lian said, he also went up and knelt in front of Jia's mother, "Old lady, although we are newlyweds, we still have to decide which is more important. It is clear. In the whole family, the old lady and the old man are naturally the most important. If I only know how to serve the old lady and the old man, it will delay my future, which is disloyal; Not filial. Simply now that Qingheng is willing to stay and take care of the two old people, it can be regarded as having both loyalty and filial piety."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Mother Jia hurriedly waved her hands and asked Jia Zhu and Baoyu to help Jia Lian up.

Jia Amnesty also said anxiously: "Get up, you are young, you have a bright future, how many years have you been in office? Do you still care about those years?"

Jia Lian stood up and seeing Xu Qingheng still in Jiamu's arms, he reached out to support her and shook her hand.

"...my nephew's daughter-in-law is still young, so she can only take care of some internal accounts, and Brother Lian, the external account, is still not at ease handing over to her," Mrs. Wang quietly glanced at Jia Lian's letter of appointment, disdainful of the small official position, while It's a pity that Jia Zhu lost his job at such a young age, "If something happens at home and my nephew and daughter-in-law panic, what's the matter?"

Jia Lian's eyelids twitched, and when she saw Xu Qingheng wiping her tears, she cupped her hands and said, "After my grandson leaves, I need my grandmother to take care of the family affairs in the future. She can only take care of small things, and those big things are big things." , and the old lady has to make up her mind."

Jia's mother smiled slightly, "Of course, you can just rest assured that you are an official outside." I am afraid that she will use her own body to pay for those expenses when she checks the customs.Thinking of it this way, my heart skipped a beat, and I suspected that Jia Lian didn't ask Xu Qingheng to take care of the foreign account, and Xu Qingheng used his dowry to show off. It was the two couples who discussed it early in order to avoid being tricked.

"Brother Lian, you haven't reported to the Ministry of Officials yet. Go ahead. The prince's mansion has prepared generous gifts to thank you. The Xu family will also go there, and your uncle Lin's house will also go to say something." Mother Jia handed over the letter of appointment. After giving it to Jia Lian, he looked at Xu Qingheng again, and said kindly, "I know you are a good boy, and I just told you to come in, and I was wronged. You should go back and help Lian'er pack her luggage. Everyone else should leave... Brother Huan, where's your aunt?" He said and waved to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan got Jia Mu's good looks, and immediately went to Jia Mu and said: "Yesterday, my aunt said that she had a stomachache after eating, and now she is resting at home."

Mrs. Wang froze, glanced at Jia Huan, who didn't know what to do, and thought to herself that Mother Jia was going to vent her anger on Jia Lian at this moment?But seeing Jia Lian gone, how can Xu Qingheng manage such a big Rongguo Mansion by himself!

"Too careless! Second daughter-in-law, my son said that Aunt Zhao should be more careful with her meals, but this happened again!" Mother Jia burst out intentionally.

When Jia Huan was young, seeing Jia's mother defending Aunt Zhao, she couldn't help but show two points of satisfaction on the ground.

Mrs. Wang knew that Aunt Zhao was just a plaything in Jia's mother's heart, and she was just venting her anger for Jia Lian, so she made up her mind to bear it for the time being, and lowered her head and said, "I listened to the old lady and told the kitchen to be careful." , Auntie Pihuan'er likes to eat some weird things outside, she often takes money to send the little girl to buy outside, I can't stop it. "

"You can't even restrain your aunt, so you're worrying about this side instead?" Mother Jia said angrily.

Xu Qingheng saw Jia's mother reprimanding Mrs. Wang in front of them, and was thinking about whether to persuade him or not. Seeing that Jia Lian and Jia Zhu went to help Jia She and Jia Zheng go out, she beckoned Yingchun, Tanchun and Baoyu to follow her. backed out.

After leaving the door, Jia Zhu congratulated Jia Lian again with a face full of shame.

Jia Lian sighed and said: "After I go, the family will rely on my second uncle and elder brother to help me." Saying this, he bowed to Jia Zheng again.

Jia Zhengxu gave a helping hand, but remained silent with a guilty conscience.

Jia Zhu hurriedly backed away, "My brother, why are you so heretical? Change your clothes and go to the official department."

"Yes." Jia Lian hurriedly ordered the boys to send Jia She back to Rongxi Hall, and when Jia She left, seeing Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu's father and son going back to Lixiangyuan, Baoyu, Tanchun and Xiangyun followed Following Yingchun to Yingchun courtyard, he took the letter of appointment and walked towards Jing Huanzhai. After walking a few steps, when he turned around, he saw Xu Qingheng following him holding a handkerchief.

"Shut up." Jia Lian coughed, and seeing Xu Qingheng still following, he let her go out of the foyer of Jiamu's courtyard, and then went forward to the mountain gate through the wall to repay the debt, and said, "You have seen what happened just now, if you really called her When you manage foreign accounts, it’s like giving gold to a child, and you’re being plotted against.”

Xu Qingheng said in a low voice: "It's not about that matter." He raised his head and looked at Jia Lian with red eyes, "I'm afraid you won't miss me when you leave."

"...Maybe I'll think about it too." Jia Lian mumbled after some consideration.

Xu Qingheng let out a soft snort, and walked along the corridor of the carved beams and painted buildings into the south room of Jinghuan Zhai. When he entered, he saw Quan Fu and Quan Luzao waiting with their newly-acquired official robes.

"This little sesame official made it." Xu Qingheng picked up the official robe from the plate held in Quanfu's hand, shook it, then put it down again, and went to find the beauty bed where Jia Lian usually lay crooked, and then Reach out to move the staggered pieces on the chessboard.

Jia Lian stood up straight and asked Quanfu to help him change his clothes. He looked at his appearance in official robes in the mirror held by Quanxi. Seeing Xu Qingheng's actions from the mirror, he coughed first, and then saw that she was unmoved. He coughed heavily again.

"Could it be possible that you still want to take away all the things in the Jinghuanzhai?" Xu Qingheng weighed the chess pieces in his hands, and felt funny when he saw Jia Lian blowing his hair.

"Just bring some daily necessities." Jia Lian's eyelids twitched. It was hard to ask Xu Qingheng to put down his things in front of Quan Fu and others, so he could only bear it, and heard Zhao Tianliang, Zhao Tiandong, Zhu Long, You Gan, Li Ping, Cao Zhirui, Cao Zhijian, Cao Zhicheng, and Jin Cai came to express their congratulations, and after a promise, Jin Cai was ordered to come in, and the others dispersed.

Jin Cai came in with a bow, and congratulated Jia Lian again. Seeing Xu Qingheng sitting on Jia Lian's couch, she didn't dare to look around, and lowered her head to wait for Jia Lian's orders.

"This time, I will take Quan Fu and Quan Lu with me..."

"Thank you, Second Lord, for your kindness." Quan Fu and Quan Lu, who were conscientiously arranging Jia Lian's official robes, were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Quan Xi and Quan Shou, who were not named, were in a daze for a while, then lowered their heads unwillingly.

Jia Lian glanced sharply at Quan Fu and Quan Lu, and then continued: "Zhao Tianliang, Zhao Tiandong, and the three brothers of the Cao family, five big and small, follow me; butler, let Lin Zhixiao and his wife go with him .The luggage I brought, except for my frequently used things, I only bring some local things from the capital to give away, and I don’t need to bring anything else.”

"Yes." Jin Cai hurriedly agreed, looked at Xu Qingheng hesitantly, and asked, "I wonder who grandma will send to follow the second master?"

Xu Qingheng was stunned, knowing that what Jin Cai was talking about was to send a girl to follow Jia Lian to take office.Before he could speak, he heard Jia Lian say, "It's enough to ask Lin Zhixiao's family and Yuanyang to go with them to manage the local female relatives. Others don't have to go with them."

"Yes."

"As for the others, stay and take good care of the house, tell the family not to be troublesome, and other rules remain the same. Although I am not in the capital, I have written a letter every month to tell me about the news in the capital—in addition, the eldest wife Over there, she is afraid that she is tired of living in one place, and asks her to live in another place. Also, if Aunt Zhao really gave birth, I am afraid that the old man will move to have another child. If he can't be persuaded, let him All right; if there is a young eunuch from the palace, just take the silver and send him away, don't begrudge the money, and also," Jia Lian paused for a while, and waved to Jin Cai, thinking of nothing else, "That's all, That's all, let's go."

Jin Cai agreed, then bowed and retreated.

"Fourth brother is so considerate, it really gives me peace of mind." Xu Qingheng sighed softly.

Jia Lian laughed and said, "This is what a husband should do."

"What a husband should do, isn't it just this?" Xu Qingheng pointedly said, his eyes flicked over the things in the room, his lips moved, and he wanted to tell Jia Lian to keep these daily things so that she could Seeing things and thinking about people, thinking about it, resting this thought, putting the chess pieces back to their original places, then getting up and saying: "The journey is approaching, and you have a lot of business trips, so you don't have to go to me at night, just here." Take a break." After saying that, he walked out gracefully.
