The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian and Jia Zhu were studying, and Amber, the maid next to Jia Mu, had already entered the door, "But what's the matter?" Mr. Li saw a graceful maid getting closer, put down the book in his hand, and asked road.

Hearing the question from the husband, she replied, "Returning to the teacher, the aunt is back, and the wife said that the two brothers should go to see relatives!"

Her behavior is really a bit unruly, but the maids and women in the Rongguo Mansion have always behaved like this, and Mr. Li has long been used to it, not to mention that the two students are also in self-study now, so they waved to Jia Lian He said to Jia Zhu, "Then you two can go today, just don't delay your homework, I will check tomorrow."

Jia Lian and Jia Zhu agreed, packed up their textbooks and left together, but they differed slightly in their attitudes.Jia Lian was really looking forward to seeing Jia Min, this is sister Lin's mother, but she stayed in Suzhou a few years ago to accompany her husband to observe filial piety, and now she just came back.

Speaking of it, I have to sigh that Lin Ruhai's luck is really not very good. Jinshi and the imperial conferment, Tanhua, who has just been an editor at the Imperial Academy for three years, has won the sacred heart, and his future is limitless.In the end, my father died, well, I started to keep my filial piety, and finally I was about to be filial piety, and my mother died again. In the end, I continued to keep my filial piety. Now almost six years have passed, and I don’t know if the emperor still remembers him.

But it doesn't matter if you don't remember it. If you really don't remember it, Jia Min's existence will be more valuable. It's nothing to show your face in front of you and change your future.Didn't I see that even Jia Amnesty, who was ignorant and inexperienced, donated an official to him? Over there, Lin Ruhai was so talented that being a good official was not a problem at all, and Jia Daishan could also be regarded as a virtuous person without avoiding relatives.

It's just that compared with Jia Lian's expectations, Jia Zhu is not too happy.He himself doesn't have much memory of Jia Min's aunt, and his only opinions come from the Wang family who is at odds with Jia Min.

Speaking of Mrs. Wang, because of her own illiteracy, she has never had a good impression of those talented women. Although she said it very dismissively, she was actually extremely jealous in her heart. Among them, the jealousy of Jia Min is the most serious.The same family belonged to four great families. Jia Min was carefully trained by the Shi family since he was a child. He is knowledgeable and talented. It's not uncommon, and the Wang family obviously has nothing to ask her to befriend.

It's just that it's all right, but Mrs. Wang has become Jia Min's second sister-in-law. There is no need to mention the messy things between sisters-in-law. Although Jia Min doesn't remember it, Mrs. Wang doesn't remember it at all. It's all engraved in the bottom of my heart, and I hate Jia Min so much.Don't look at Wang's face in front of Shi's face now, he is very favored, but this is all because Jia Min was not there. Jia Min was not married at the time, and if Wang and Jia Min had a little disagreement, it must be It was her fault, not to mention, she was jealous every day when she saw what Shi gave to Jia Min.As long as one gets a good item, Jia Min must pick it first, and everyone else stands aside and waits. Only when Jia Min picks the rest can it be her turn.

Besides, Jia Min has always liked Mrs. Zhang, who has also studied, which made Wang even more dissatisfied. But what made her most unhappy was when Jia Min got married. She looked at the ten miles of red makeup. Being able to hold back her dissatisfaction, even her housemate Zhou Rui's family couldn't help being envious, "I'm afraid my wife gave all the treasures of Rongguo Mansion to Miss Min."

What's more, although Lin Ruhai is only two decades old, he has already been a high school candidate, but Jia Zheng, who has been called an excellent student for a while, has never been selected by the two scholars.The only thing that gave her some comfort was that Lin Ruhai soon lost both his father and mother, and Jia Min followed him to observe his filial piety and returned to Suzhou, so he would not appear in front of her often.

Under the influence of Wang, Jia Zhu's feelings towards Wang are naturally difficult to develop in a good direction, but now that Jia Min's return interrupted his study time, he feels more and more in his heart. Not happy anymore.

Seeing his unhappy expression, Jia Lian deliberately asked with a smile, "Brother Zhu, isn't he happy to see Auntie?" The same address as Jia Zhen, to show that the relationship is not too close, but for the time being, no one feels that it is wrong, after all, he has been called this way since the very beginning.

Of course Jia Zhu would not admit it. Jia Lian was right, but as a child who is not very good at hiding, it is also difficult for him to hide his thoughts in front of Jia Lian, a fake child, "Of course not, just because my aunt Come and delay your study..."

He didn't say everything clearly, just to cover up his thoughts, but Jia Lian has already misinterpreted or explained his meaning very bluntly, "Brother Zhu, don't say that, aunt is our relative. , although I have never seen them before, but I also heard my mother say that my aunt is kind, not to mention that my uncle is also a flower lover, wouldn't it be more beneficial to meet them than to study hard."

"What's more, isn't that what grandma meant?" Jia Lian said more, and Jia Zhu's face became more and more unhappy, "We always have to listen to grandma, even if it is just a little bit of resentment in our hearts, it is also extremely unfilial. yes, right?"

He deliberately asked with an innocent look, Jia Zhu's face is not just unsightly anymore, it is completely turning blue, "It's better to pay attention when Lian'er speaks, now that you are young, I will When you are a Tongyan Tongyu, I don't care too much with you, but if you see outsiders, you will definitely not be happy." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Jia Lian thought it was ridiculous listening to his words, but she still had a serious look on her face, watching Jia Zhu go farther and farther, until she couldn't see anyone, then raised the corners of her mouth, and said to the boy next to her, " It's done, let's go back too. Since grandma told us to go see my aunt and uncle, we must not be late.

In Jia Lian's heart, Jia Min is indeed a very strange person who wants to take a look, but the person he pays most attention to is Lin Ruhai, a future second-rank official. At his current age, he has a good relationship or something It seems unlikely, but it is still very feasible to make a good impression, especially compared to Jia Zhu and Jia Zheng.

In fact, Jia Amnesty had no interest in meeting Lin Ruhai, mainly because he felt speechless, but he was also a brother-in-law after all, not to mention that Jia Daishan was watching, and Jia Zheng was also standing by, so he could only bite the bullet and talk to Lin Ruhai, although the common language was very different. It is hard to find, but as long as you are willing to look for it, you can always find it. After a while, we chatted about the customs of Suzhou.

Jia Zheng is different, he likes to socialize with scholars very much, and Lin Ruhai is the most high-end one among all the scholars he associates with, now that he has the opportunity to get closer, of course he really wants to get more of Lin Ruhai's literary temperament , but he has always looked serious, and now he heard Jia She and Lin Ruhai talking about folk customs, but he really couldn't get in the way, and he couldn't help but resent his elder brother for being colorless, and used those vulgarities to contaminate Tanhua's brother-in-law.

It's just that in Lin Ruhai's heart, whether it's better to chat with Jia She or Jia Zheng is more appropriate, but he doesn't know. Anyway, Jia Daishan is very happy to watch his son and son-in-law talking and laughing happily.

Jia Lian went to Rongxi Hall together with Mrs. Zhang, and because they both wanted to see Jia Min early, they were faster than Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia and Zhu.There were quite a few unfamiliar people in the main room, and it was easy to figure out that the elegant woman by Shi's side was Jia Min just by looking at her attire and temperament.

Seeing them coming in, Shi Shi immediately said, "Lian'er, come quickly, I have seen your Aunt Min."

To please women, no matter how old they are, is really a compulsory course for Jia Lian at this age. As soon as he opened his mouth, he won Jia Min's favor, "Although I have never seen it before, but I saw it. But my aunt is very familiar!" By getting closer like this, he also learned from Jia Baoyu. In Jia Lian's view, Jia Baoyu's greatest advantage is that he can easily please women. How can he not learn from him? After all, although he doesn't need to please his older sisters, he still has to please the elders.

"You are the only one who can talk." Shi Shi loves Jia Min the most, and now he hears Jia Lian say nice things, he is naturally in a good mood, even the smile on his face is much more sincere, Jia Lian is very sure, before he only listened to Shi Shi I've seen such expressions when watching Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun.

Mrs. Zhang also said along the way, "My sister-in-law is like a wife. Lian'er sees his wife every day, so naturally I think my sister-in-law looks familiar." At this moment, Mrs. Shi was even happier.

Even Jia Min said, "Lian'er is so talkative, how can aunt not give you a gift?" She had prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to present to Jia Lian and Jia Zhu, but now she listened to Jia Lian's words, He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and said, "It's not worth much, so let's play with it."

Yuan Chun was standing beside Shi Shi with a smile. He was also joking at first, but now seeing the jade pendant that Jia Min said was worthless but was actually very valuable, his eyes changed slightly, and his mouth couldn't help it. He opened the mouth and said, "Lian'er has a sweet mouth, but big brother is a little bored."

Jia Lian's face has always been thicker than the city wall. Although she understood that she was mocking her clever words, she smiled nonchalantly, "Why, compared to Sister Yuanchun, I am really nothing."
