[Red Chamber] Jia Lian has an ancestor system

Ever since Jia Lian accepted task four, she has gone to pay her respects to the old lady every day, even if she was very busy that day, she would make up for it the next day.

On this day, I also brought Wang Xifeng and sister Qiao to pay my respects.

Jia Mu said: "I know you are filial, and you have a lot of things to do, so you don't have to come here every day."

Jia Lian said: "It's rare that my grandson has figured it out these days, and my ancestors still don't let me be filial."

Jiamu said with a smile: "I don't know when, but you seem to have changed. Recently, people in the family often praise you, saying that you are prudent and polite in dealing with others, and you are always thinking about greeting me. You treat your wife and children very well." Shangxin, it's no wonder that even girl Feng looks much ruddy."

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and said, "The old lady will make fun of me."

Jia's mother chatted and laughed with the three of them for a while, then suddenly asked Jia Lian, "I heard that someone from the Lin family has come?"

Jia Lian replied: "A distant uncle, my uncle died that year, and he also helped to do a lot of things. He seems to be a reliable person. Now he is working under the new Xunyan Yushi. He has been in Beijing for two or three years. ..."

Mother Jia listened, and hummed, "Since you are a relative of the Lin family, you should come and go frequently."

"My boy also thinks the same way. I asked Uncle Lin and Sister Lin to meet for a while, and just exchanged some pleasantries. I didn't go back to the old lady because I thought they lived far away. If the old lady wants to see you, I'll let him come for you too." kowtow."

But the old lady said: "That's not necessary, I'm already old, my mouth is very broken, and I don't speak very well. It's disgusting to chat with people I don't know well."

Sister Feng hastily stuffed a tangerine into the old lady's mouth, "What's the matter with the old ancestor? If your mouth is broken and your words are not nice, wouldn't we be broken..."

Many people praised Jia Lian for his filial son and virtuous husband who "played" in the first month. On the 21st day of the first month, the system gave him a clue to reward.Jia Lian glanced at the interface, and it said "Qin Keqing" impressively.

Uh... Jia Lian was silent for a while.

He can understand the clues given by the system to find Lin Song and Miaoyu, but what does "Qin Keqing" mean?The woman is dead, so he can't go underground to find her.

Jia Lian held back for two days, but he couldn't think of any reason.

Qin Keqing was the grandma of Dongfu at that time, could it be that she had some private money in her hands?But no matter how much private money there was, with her death, how much money was confiscated.Or does she have a clever way to solve the family crisis?If yes, who knows?

Big brother?Sister-in-law?Ronger?

If they know, why don't they use it?Why does Brother Zhen need to sell the land?Or did they forget?

When he was at a loss, Jia Lian couldn't help waking up the system.

"Ancestors, since we want to give the child clues, why is it so difficult and obscure every time? The last two times were easy, but this time it is really difficult to understand. Can't the ancestors clearly tell the child what to do to solve the family crisis? ? Going around like this is really exhausting."

The system scolded: "Do you think we don't want to tell you clearly? But the secret must not be leaked. This system is already the greatest gift of the sage ancestors. You still hate this and that, and complain about the road before you have taken that step. It's too difficult to walk, judging by the situation, you will give up sooner or later..."

Jia Lian was scolded for no reason, and immediately fell silent.

The system was also so angry that it said: "You kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on it!" Then it shut down.

Kneeling is kneeling... Jia Lian opened the gate of the ancestral hall angrily, and knelt alone in front of the ancestral tablet again.

Seeing this, a group of maids and servants outside the door discussed in a low voice:

"Why did Second Master Lian come to kneel in the ancestral hall again? Did he do something wrong? Was he punished to kneel?"

"I don't know. I heard that the Second Master Lian is very popular in the West Mansion recently. The Eldest Master has been feeling unwell recently, and the Second Master Lian even washed the Eldest Master's feet himself!"

"That's right, I also heard that Second Master Lian often took Sister Qiao to wander around the garden!"

"Second Master has been so popular recently, how could he be punished?"

As soon as Jia Lian left, Sister Feng knew it.

This time, she couldn't hold back her curiosity, and followed her to the ancestral hall.

When all the maids and servants saw the second grandma coming, they immediately stopped talking, and obediently stood at the door and called: "Second grandma."

"It's all gone, it's all gone, I haven't seen anyone watching the excitement at the entrance of the ancestral hall." Ping'er said, and called again, "Grandma, look——"

"You wait outside, I'll go in and ask." Sister Feng said.

Wang Xifeng entered the ancestral hall, closed the door, quietly came to Jia Lian's side, took a cushion, and put it beside him deliberately.

Seeing that Sister Feng also knelt down, Jia Lian couldn't help but asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"

"What does the second master do, I will do what?"

Jia Lian stared at her: "I'm here to do business, don't make trouble."

"How do you know I'm not serious? Who dares to cause trouble in front of the ancestral tablet?"

Jia Lian took a deep breath and said, "Since that's the case, do as you please, just don't quarrel."

Sister Feng picked something boring and knelt down in front of the tablets of her ancestors for no reason. She felt a little hairy, so she bowed and kowtowed.

Seeing Jia Lian staring blankly at those memorial tablets like a bodhisattva, Sister Feng really couldn't figure out why this man behaved so strangely recently?If there are any unspeakable difficulties, coming here to disturb him will only add to the trouble.So I thought, or I'd better go.

When she was getting up, Sister Feng caught a glimpse of Qin Keqing's tablet, and there seemed to be a faint black shadow. She leaned over and took a closer look, and it turned out to be a big spider.

Sister Feng said, "Okay, why are there spiders? Hasn't anyone come to clean it recently?"

Jia Lian got up too, and saw the spider lying motionless on Qin Keqing's memorial tablet.

Sister Feng took the feather duster hanging next to it, and the spider crawled away quickly as if it had sensed it.

Jia Lian persuaded: "Forget it, don't overturn the ancestral tablet."

Sister Feng searched for a while, but the spider was gone, so she hung the feather duster back to its original place, and brushed Lixiao Qin Keqing's memorial tablet with a handkerchief.

Jia Lian asked strangely: "Why do you wipe it yourself? Don't you think it's dirty?"

"What's wrong with this? I had a good time with her, and when she left, she entrusted me with a dream. It's nothing if I wipe her tablet."

To dream?Never heard her mention it.Jia Lian looked at Sister Feng, and a certain thought flashed by.

This task is to treat his wife better, and the clue given is Qin Keqing. I have been thinking about whether to ask people from the East Mansion, but the real question should not be the people from the East Mansion, but the person next to me. .

Jia Lian suddenly realized, and hurriedly pulled Sister Feng over and walked out of the ancestral hall.

Wang Xifeng was startled, and subconsciously threw it twice, but Jia Lian's strength was far from his own. After struggling for a while, she gave up and let Jia Lian pull her outside.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Ping'er was also taken aback, and hurriedly followed up to persuade him: "What can't the second master talk about?"

Jia Lian stopped and said, "Ping'er, go down first, I have something to ask Second Mistress."

Ping'er saw that the expression on Lian Erye's face was very strange, but fortunately, he was not angry, so he relaxed a little, and replied: "Speak slowly if you have something to say, don't worry."

Sister Feng's wrists turned red from being twisted by him, and she swung his hand angrily: "What kind of pill did you take to lose your soul? You are caring and considerate at times, and unreasonable at times?"

Jia Lian laughed and said, "But it hurts to be scratched by me? Let me have a look?"

Seeing that he suddenly became concerned about others inexplicably, Sister Feng hid a fire in her heart: "You have been very weird recently, don't you have a nightmare and don't know it, I think I can find someone to treat you well, drive you away Exorcism."

Jia Lian smiled obediently and bowed obediently: "I was too excited just now, and I didn't bother to explain for a while, Second Mistress, Jia Lian will apologize to you now."

Wang Xifeng folded her hands and said, "Don't, I can't stand the second master Lian's sunny and cloudy days."

Jia Lian didn't gossip anymore, and asked directly: "Tell me first, Qin Keqing entrusted you with a dream before leaving? What kind of dream did you entrust? What did you say? If you tell me, I will explain it to you. listen."

Wang Xifeng was stunned. No wonder he pulled her out just now when she said that Qin Keqing entrusted her dreams to him. Could it be that Keqing also entrusted her dreams to him?

Back then she was young and vigorous, and the Jia family was at the peak of prosperity. She didn't want to turn into a decline in a few years. She also regretted that she didn't listen to Qin Keqing at that time, otherwise she wouldn't be so passive now.

After thinking about it for a while, he told Jia Lian the two points Qin Keqing said.

One is to set up more farms, houses, and acres of land near the ancestral tombs to prepare for the cost of offering sacrifices. ①

The second is to set up the family school here. ①

After Jia Lian heard this, he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Wonderful! It's really a good plan. Grandma Rong really has eyes. If the sacrificial industry does not enter the government, if it declines in the future, there will still be a place for her descendants to go to study and work in agriculture. If they are not in order, they can pass the imperial examination and prosper again." .” ①

Wang Xifeng said again: "She also explained that everyone has set a rule. In the future, the house will be in charge of the land mu, money, food, sacrifices, and supplies for this year. Such a circulation, there will be no competition, and there will be no disadvantages of pawning .” ①

Jia Lian nodded and said, "These are all things to say. First of all, we need to buy more farms."

But Wang Xifeng said: "Although the strategy is good, we don't have any spare money to do these things right now. I also regret it. If I did what she said and bought the villages and fields around the ancestral grave, how much money could be saved?" , You can also transfer some of the clan members back to the business, so that every morning when I open the door, they all stare at me and ask me for money."

"If you have the heart, it's not too late now." Jia Lian said confidently, and was about to go to the layman.

"You haven't said anything about yourself yet! You've been doing something wrong lately, but you've also been entrusted with a dream by your ancestor?"

It was still inconvenient for Jia Lian to tell the ancestors about the system, but only said: "Exactly, the ancestors scolded me..."

After hearing this, Sister Feng was dubious, but she really couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, so she had to follow Jia Lian all the way out of Dongfu.
