"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber

The corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched a little. It seemed that Jia Amnesty really planned to let him take care of the whole second room.

Because of the complicated feelings for Jia She, now Jia Lian can neither call the elder nor father, but can only use his name instead.

But none of these can express the depression and anger in his heart when he saw Jia Yuanchun at this moment.

Jia Yuanchun is the most favored person in the entire Jia family except Jia Baoyu. Before Jia Baoyu was born, she was even more favored than Jia Zhu. This is also related to her sweet mouth and likability.

But he just refused to accept it. He was not as good as Jia Zhu, and later he was not as good as Jia Baoyu.

But what is she, Jia Yuanchun? She is just a girl, born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she must have a precious life?No matter how valuable it is, can it be more valuable than yourself, the heir of the Rongguo Mansion?Why are the girls born in Jia's mansion so easy to call after her?

At this moment, Jia Lian's deep dissatisfaction broke out.

Jia Lian said indifferently: "Your parents' grave is on the outskirts of the city. Let sister-in-law Zhu take you to pay respects tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he waved his hands, looking a little impatient: "Go to sister-in-law Zhu now, she I will arrange it for you."

Jia Yuanchun clutched his sleeve tightly, lowered his head without saying a word, followed Jia Lian's order to find Li Wan, who also treated her indifferently, arranged a room for her and left her alone, maid The mother-in-law is even more unworthy.

Jia Yuanchun looked at the empty room, except for some daily furnishings, there was not a single good decoration. Seeing this scene, Jia Yuanchun couldn't control the sadness in his heart anymore, threw himself on the bed and began to cry.

She thought that being taken out of the palace by her uncle would lead a good life, and that she would no longer live the life of an inhumane person in the palace, but she never thought that her uncle had no intention of caring about her, and just threw her to Jia Lian Who is Jia Lian? He is the son of the uncle who adopted the second room. Even if he separated from the uncle, he would not talk to the second room. She is also the daughter of a guilty minister, what else can she do besides relying on Jia Lian?

Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun wiped away his tears, he had better establish a good relationship with this second brother first.

Even though the life in the palace wears down his aura, even if his heart is no longer so resolute, but Jia Yuanchun is Jia Yuanchun after all, the daughter's family that was meticulously raped by Shi Taijun, and he always knows how to make himself live better.

Therefore, from the second day on, Jia Yuanchun put on a smiling face, facing everyone in the village, and even cooked in person every day, making soup for Jia Lian, Jia Lan, and Li Wan. Learned how to flatter others.

Jia Lan and Li Wan's attitude towards Jia Yuanchun gradually became much better. After all, they had no enmity or estrangement with Jia Yuanchun. Later, Li Wan matched Jia Yuanchun with a little girl.

On the contrary, Jia Lian's attitude has never changed, which makes Jia Yuanchun a little discouraged and at the same time a little angry.

Jia Lian would only sneer if he knew, but a person who can only live under his own protection dares to have any opinion on him. Does he really think that he is still the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion?

These days, Jia Lian also has a headache. Jia She doesn't recognize his son, and he somehow shoulders the burden of the second house, and Wang Xifeng has already given away half of the property left by his mother. If nothing happens now If you do it, then you will have nothing to do but sit back and eat.

It's not that he doesn't want to drive out the people in the second room, it's just that he also knows the importance of reputation now, don't you think Jia Amnesty was banned because of his reputation?

This official, Jia Lian, is not counted on, but a good reputation will do him some good.

On the other hand, Jia Lian also saw Jia Lan's talent in reading, and thought that if he helped Jia Lan at this time, maybe Jia Lan would give him something in return in the future?As long as Jia Lan is not a white-eyed wolf in the future, it will be fine.

The most urgent task is how Jia Lian plans his future.

But when Jia Lian was at a loss, an unexpected guest came to the door.

That was Xue Baochai's family who had made a marriage contract with Jia Baoyu.

At that time, Aunt Xue took advantage of Rongguo Mansion's disaster and appointed Xue Baochai to Jia Baoyu. In fact, she wanted to give Xue Baochai a future. How can I say that Jia Zheng was the head of Rongguo Mansion at that time? It is also to inherit the Rongguo Mansion. If Xue Baochai marries Jia Baoyu, then Xue Baochai will become an official wife, which will definitely be of great benefit to Xue Baochai.

As for the fact that the Rongguo Mansion has no money, it’s okay to have no money. As long as the Rongguo Mansion has power and status, their Xue family can also make a lot of money through this, so it can also help Xue Pan.

But he never expected that the Rongguo Mansion would be over before the engagement was made, Jia Zheng and his wife would die in exile, and his natal family Wang's family would also be over.

Aunt Xue fell ill immediately after each bad news. Although Xue Baochai was in a hurry, she calmed down to serve Aunt Xue. When Aunt Xue recovered, mother and son began to discuss the marriage contract.

According to Xue Pan, since the Rongguo Mansion is gone, his sister naturally cannot marry the son of a criminal minister.

But Aunt Xue is reluctant to part with the 40 taels of silver. It was agreed at the beginning that 20 taels of it is Baochai’s dowry, and the remaining 20 taels have to be paid back. Did it float?

"If it doesn't work, let Jia Amnesty pay back the money. After all, it was borrowed by their Rongguo Mansion." Xue Pan said very bachelorly.

"Nonsense," Aunt Xue glared at Xue Pan, "Is it possible for you and me to gain Jia Amnesty's position now? I sent someone to give them gifts before, but they all returned them." , obviously Jia Amnesty doesn't want to deal with our family."

Xue Baochai agrees with this point: "Back then the big house and the second house of the Rongguo Mansion had such a big quarrel, it was obvious that their faces were torn apart. Even the second house was exiled, and the big house never showed up. It can be seen that there is something to do with it," said Xue Baochai He was also very frustrated: "It would be nice if the eldest son still remembered some old love. After all, the second wife who was against the elder was finished, but there is only a son like Jia Baoyu left. If the elder intends to let Jia Baoyu go, the daughter will marry him. It wasn't too bad in the past, and my brother can climb up to the old man, that's a good thing."

"What you said is true, I can really climb up to the Eldest Master," Xue Pan's eyes lit up, "The Eldest Master's current status is extraordinary, if I climb up to him, maybe it will be much better than following the Rongguo Mansion back then. .”

Xue Baochai looked at her brother's bewildered look, and smiled wryly: "But does my brother think that the elder brother will help the second wife?"

"That's not necessarily true," Xue Pan curled his lips nonchalantly: "Now the Elder Master has a very good reputation, why don't we go to pay a visit sometime, maybe the Elder Master really won't stand by and watch."

Aunt Xue thought it made sense: "Anyway, this involves Baochai's life, so we have to try it." After saying that, Aunt Xue ordered the housekeeper to prepare a generous gift, and decided to visit the door the next day visit.

Then, and then there is no more, because before Xue's family visited Jia Amnesty, the news of Jia Baoyu's unconsciousness spread, and at the same time, there was also the magical psychic that was passed on by the Rongguo Mansion before. Baoyu smashed the news.

Aunt Xue gasped and shouted: "No, this is absolutely not possible. Jia Baoyu has become a useless person. How can he have a marriage contract with my Baochai? We must call off this marriage."

Xue Baochai wept and wiped her tears, only lamenting that her fate was unlucky. Then Lin Daiyu was given to the fifth son of King Yongjun, how could she have made a marriage contract with a living dead man?

No matter how good-hearted Xue Baochai was, she couldn't hold on at this time.

Xue Pan immediately jumped up: "Mother, don't worry, I will go to Li Shangshu's mansion to divorce my sister right now." Saying this, he ran to Li Shangshu's mansion with his servant without even bringing the gift.

Jia Amnesty looked Xue Pan up and down, who had never seen him before, and smiled: "It's not just Mr. Xue who came to visit today, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter?" Xue Pan panted heavily, staring at Jia She: "I'm here to retire, and our family Baochai will never marry Jia Baoyu, that trash."

Jia She nodded: "I understand, after all, Jia Baoyu is a useless person now, and he is really not worthy of Miss Xue's family." Xue Pan's complexion finally improved, and then Jia She said: "However, this engagement is not good enough. It has nothing to do with this official, it was Baoyu's parents who made the marriage contract at the beginning, and now that the marriage contract is broken, you should also find Baoyu's parents."

"His parents are already dead."

"Then you should go to Baoyu's elder brother. There are still people in the second house. There is no reason to find me, the big house that has been divided." Jia She sneered: "It is more appropriate for Mr. Xue to go to the suburbs to find Jia Lian." As he spoke, Jia Amnesty waved his hand, and Xue Pan was respectfully invited out of the mansion.

Jia Amnesty is not interested in taking care of the second wife's affairs.

So, there was the fact that the Xue family came to visit Jia Lian today.

"Mrs. Xue, Mr. Xue, Miss Xue." Now Jia Lian can't even call Jia She, the old man, and he is even less interested in calling the relatives of the second room.

As soon as Xue Baochai heard it, she knew that Jia Lian didn't like her family anymore.

But now it's not a question of whether there is a good impression, but a question of the marriage contract.

Xue Baochai winked at Xue Pan.

Xue Pan quickly understood: "Second Brother Lian," this time Xue Pan is a good learner, the last time he rushed to Jia She's place in a hurry, even though Jia She met him, but he didn't have anything to do with his own affairs As a result, Jia Amnesty sent someone to fool you away, and when he returned home, he was told by Aunt Xue for a long time, so this time, Xue Pan was more polite: "Brother came this time to let Lian Er Brother help yourself."

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, who is your second brother Lian?

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't speak, Xue Pan was also embarrassed, so he had to turn his eyes to Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue gritted her teeth, there was nothing to hesitate at this time, the matter of Baochai was more important: "Lian'er, Auntie is here this time to talk to you about Baochai and Baoyu."

Because Wang Xifeng wanted to call Aunt Xue Wangshi, even though she was unhappy in her heart, Aunt Xue was not wrong to call her aunt, and Jia Lian did not correct her.

Aunt Xue continued: "It's not that our Xue family dislikes the poor and loves the rich, it's just that Baoyu is like this now. As a mother, I really don't feel relieved to hand over my daughter to him."

No mother would marry her daughter to a living dead.

Jia Lian nodded, expressing his understanding: "What do you want to do?"

Aunt Xue paused, saying this was too rude: "Auntie just wanted to break the engagement between Baochai and Baoyu."

Jia Lian glanced at Xue Baochai who was bowing his head: "You can talk to the other side about this."

This over there refers to Jia She's first room.

Aunt Xue's face turned ugly, and she stretched out her hand to suppress Xue Pan's gesture of complaining, and said, "How can you say that Lian'er is now the head of the second room, and Lian'er has the final say on such matters."

"Then how do you want to retire?" Jia Lian asked.

"At the beginning of the engagement, the second room was going to take 40 taels of silver from us. It was agreed that 20 taels of it would be Baochai's dowry, and the remaining 20 taels would be a loan," Aunt Xue put the original IOU on On the table: "Now that my Baochai is about to dissolve the engagement, this money..."

Jia Lian's eyebrows trembled. This meant that I should pay back the 40 taels of silver. Why?

Aunt Xue also saw Jia Lian's displeasure, but when she thought about it, it was 40 taels. Aunt Xue couldn't hold back her tone: "Since we, Baochai, took the initiative to resign, we can't let Lian'er suffer too much. That's fine. , for the 40 taels of silver, Lian'er will return 35 taels."

You are so generous.

Jia Lian sneered inwardly. In fact, what Aunt Xue did was pretty good, but it was impossible for Jia Lian to help the second house pay back the money. He already had a lot of idlers in the second house.

Jia Lian snorted coldly: "I can't control this matter."

"How can you not control it, you are the head of the second room now." Aunt Xue said anxiously.

Jia Lian glanced at them indifferently, and said with a smile, "I'm only an adoptive. Now the second wife's son, Jia Baoyu, is not dead. Even if Jia Baoyu dies, this Jia Lan is the second son's eldest son and grandson. For such things, you Let’s tell Jalan, I won’t make the decision.”

Aunt Xue was in a hurry, Jia Lan was only a few years old, and now she was relying on Jia Lian, how could she get so much money back.

Aunt Xue's face was pulled down: "Lian'er, you can't be so disregarded. Back then, my sister was kind to you."

It’s okay if you don’t talk about it, Jia Lian immediately exploded when he mentioned it, and said directly: "Go, invite Li Wan, Jia Lan, and Jia Yuanchun over here. I don’t care what Jia Zheng did at the beginning. Let them be real descendants." Think of ways to."
