[Red Chamber] Jia Lian has an ancestor system

The money Sun Shaozu sent to the Ministry of War was in place, and he successfully filled the vacancy of the Gyeonggi Colonel, and he took office as soon as he spoke.

As the troops stationed in Gyeonggi had been idle for a while recently, the admiral instructed to strengthen training, so Sun Shaozu had to stay with the army.Although the station was not far from the capital, it would take half a day to go back and forth, so Sun Shaozu had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​living in the mansion.

As soon as Sun Shaozu left, the days of Yingchun became easier.Zhang's mother still spoke with a gun and a stick, and she didn't have a good face.Fortunately, the maids such as Xiuju always protect her, and Jia Lian has a contract in hand, so those women and maids dare not make mistakes.

Xiuju felt that the days were gradually looking forward, and said to Yingchun, "This is all thanks to the second master Lian."

Yingchun asked puzzledly, "Second brother's credit?"

Xiuju then said: "I heard people say that the second master Lian returned the master's 2000 taels of silver, and the master only gave the money to his superiors, so that he was able to be a school captain... Although he is still a Beijing official, he doesn't have to live in the mansion all the time. "

Yingchun was a little surprised, but also a little dazed, recalling that when she returned home, she said a lot of frustrating words to her second brother, not thinking that her second brother would be willing to spend so much money, and gradually regretted it.

"The way I see it, it's best not to say anything about these things. Presumably the second master Lian also secretly paid back the money. It would be a big deal if the second grandma found out."

"Also, if Second Master Lian orders anything in the future, we will do as he wants. He will definitely not harm us."

Yingchun nodded, with mixed emotions in her heart, and said nothing.

When Jia Lian heard that Sun Shaozu had left Beijing, a stone fell in his heart. Although he didn't know what the future would hold, at least Yingchun was safe in the near future.

In the hot summer of June, Jia Zheng's protégé, Fu Shi, who had donated his sentence, received news that his sister, Fu Qiufang, had confided in Jia Yucun.

Sister Feng said: "At first I thought it was a continuation, but I didn't want to be a concubine. It's a pity that the sister of the Fu family is almost 26 this year. Although she is a bit older, she is good-looking and good at poetry and books. I see After two times, it's no worse than the girls in the garden."

Jia Lian said with contempt on his face: "This Fu Shi is also a guy who wants to make a fortune and climb high. I really don't understand why the second master would like him."

"Now the post about marrying a younger sister has been delivered, and it's scheduled for the end of the month. Do you want to go then?" Sister Feng asked again.

Jia Lian replied decisively: "No, you just go and get some food."

Sister Feng muttered: "It's just a side room, and it's over with a sedan chair and carried in. It's done in a big way, and everyone doesn't worry about it."

Jia Baoyu heard that Fu Qiufang said that she had become a concubine with Jia Yucun, but she was so angry that she cursed: "A girl with both beauty and talent has been spoiled by these people again."

Xiren hurriedly stopped Jia Baoyu: "Second master is not afraid of taboos when speaking, so why call it a waste? Brother Fu's family kept her because he wanted to win over the rich and powerful. Now the elder of Yucun is also the chief minister after all. A place to stand on. Although the identity is just a concubine after entering the door, how do you know that you will not be righted in the future?"

Jia Baoyu glared at Xi Ren and didn't bother to argue.Since he went to the academy, in the past six months, Xiren has reminded him of the benefits of the imperial examination everywhere, which made him very impatient. Although he wanted to alienate her, she was still familiar with her life and thoughtful, and he couldn't do without her everywhere...

Now he just snorted and walked out the door.

The attacker asked: "It's getting dark, where is Second Lord going?"

"Go to the old lady's house."

Jia Baoyu didn't want to go to Jia's mother, he wanted to go to the garden to talk to Sister Lin, but he didn't want to tell Xiren.

Unexpectedly, Xiren guessed it as if, turned around and took a lantern to catch up: "It's getting dark, I'll show the way for the second master."

Jia Baoyu reprimanded: "No need, I want to walk alone."

Xiren stood where he was, feeling aggrieved, but he was used to it, so he murmured: "Then the second master will come back earlier."

As dusk fell, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was filled with dim lights.

Lin Daiyu had nothing to do, so she took out the crimson bead hairpin that Jia Lian had sent her, and looked at it carefully under the light.

Zijuan said: "Girl, this hairpin is very beautiful, why don't you see you wearing it?"

Lin Daiyu touched the agate beads and said, "I wanted to wear them, but I couldn't find the time to wear them."

Zijuan was a little confused: "Does it take time to wear this hairpin?"

Lin Daiyu didn't explain, just happened to be Jia Baoyu walked in: "Sister Lin, what are you looking at?"

Lin Daiyu put the hairpin on the dowry box, turned around and stood up: "It's getting dark, why did you come here?"

Jia Baoyu had sharp eyes, saw the hairpin, reached out to take it, and said: "What kind of pattern is this? It's so unique, and it suits you well."

Lin Daiyu was taken aback, took the hairpin over, and asked, "You don't know what kind of trick this is?"

Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "I've never seen it before, how could I know, my dear sister, tell me the answer."

Lin Daiyu felt a little lost for no reason, and then felt that only she knew about this thing?She put away the crimson bead hairpin, took a round fan, waved it leisurely and said, "I named it crimson bead hairpin."

"Crimson pearl hairpin." Jia Baoyu touched it for a while, "It really has a good name, and it blends with its temperament."

Lin Daiyu saw that Baoyu really didn't know the crimson bead hairpin, so she couldn't help but glanced at him: "It's so late, why do you still come into the garden? The attacker didn't follow, it's really rare."

"Don't mention her now. Today I heard that Fu Qiufang's sister promised to be Jia Yucun's concubine, but she said it's pretty good. I was upset for a while, so I went in for a walk to relax."

Lin Daiyu also met Fu Qiufang once, and knew that she was a talented girl, but it was inevitable that she felt sorry for her because of such a brother.

The two talked about some things, and saw the attacker come to the door with a lantern.

She smiled and said: "I just went to the old lady's place to answer a call, but I didn't see the second master. I guess the second master must have come to the garden."

Lin Daiyu mocked: "I just said how can it be 'rare'..."

Xiren didn't understand the cause and effect, so he just smiled and said, "Second Lord, the garden will be closed later, so let's come over to the girl's place another day during the day."

After Xiren left, Zijuan couldn't help saying: "Sister Xiren is following too closely."

Lin Daiyu looked outside the door, sighed, and said, "Forget it, just close the door."

At the end of the month, Fu Qiufang was not yet married, so Xue Pan nervously called Jia Lian out for a drink.

Xue Pan said: "I said that Miss Qin's marriage is likely to fail."

Jia Lian asked in surprise, "But what happened?"

"The book about retiring the engagement has been handed over today. I have written a lot of gossip. I can't explain it. It probably means that the two fathers mentioned the marriage at the time. Not to mention the three matchmakers and six hires... After a lot of talk, I want to divorce the engagement."

Although Jia Lian already knew that this matter was going to be Huang, he couldn't help but show a surprised and regretful expression when he heard about it.

Xue Pan took a sip of his wine and sneered: "The Mei family returned to Beijing half a month ago, and they haven't been in touch since they came back. Everyone knows what it means."

Jia Lian said: "This is the end of the matter, it's okay, at least make it clear, let's choose another virtuous person."

"I'm also the same, it's just that old people like to sigh long and short."

"Find another better one, and my aunt's knot will be over."

"It's easy to say. Right now they are two orphans. They have no father or mother. They can only rely on their mother to make decisions. However, during these days, mother is angry and sick again..." When Xue Pan said this, Jia Lian suddenly felt the pain in front of him. This person has changed a bit, he is no longer the foolish overlord Xue, he has become much more mature.

After drinking some wine with him, Xue Pan was in a very heavy mood, but Jia Lian was in a good mood.

Yes, his selfish thoughts finally became a reality.

Originally, he only thought that if he wanted to make Daiyu give up, he could only find a way to make Baochai the second grandmother of Bao, but the old lady didn't like Miss Bao, so she had to rely on the power of Concubine Yuan.

But in his heart, he prefers Baoqin.For one thing, Bao Qin is the only girl in the garden who has not entered the Bo Ming Division, so she is blessed.When the Jia family was in decline in the previous life, although the Mei family also avoided this marriage for various reasons, Bao Qin's elder brother was very capable, the family business was booming, and he loved his sister very much. Even if the engagement was divorced, he could find a good marriage for her .

Second, Jia Lian heard that Baoyu and Baoqin had a good relationship, they could eat and play together, Baochai was mature and stable, but she was old-fashioned, and the two had an awkward relationship because of their economic and official careers...

After returning to the house, Jia Lian and Sister Feng mentioned the Mei family's divorce. Sister Feng was also surprised, and then thought: "How good is this wedding banquet?"

Jia Lian said: "What's the matter, but the engagement has been retired, so it's okay to find a better one?"

Sister Feng shook her head and said, "Of course the rich family has confidence, but their family is all supported by their aunt, so what should they do?"

"Doesn't the old lady like Baoqin? She also intends to be a matchmaker for her. In my opinion, it would be good to promise Baoyu."

Sister Feng smiled: "It's not like you don't know who the old lady has in mind. Besides, the wife prefers Miss Bao, so the two sides are at odds."

Jia Lian pretended to be joking and said: "This is not better, the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins."

Sister Feng pondered for a moment and said: "If you want to talk about Miss Qin, she is an excellent person. She has the atmosphere of Miss Bao and the gracefulness of sister Lin. She has excellent appearance and talent. She has played with her father from this province to that since she was a child. Province, the foundation is good enough to withstand tossing, not weaker and sicker than sister Lin, and her temperament is more lively than girl Bao, so she doesn't hide so much thought, if I decide, putting aside these worldly prejudices, choosing girl Qin is the most suitable."

After Jia Lian listened, he didn't say anything. Why didn't he know why Sister Feng didn't want to choose Baochai?Baochai is more thoughtful, she will become Bao's second grandma in the future, I'm afraid it won't be Sister Feng's turn to be in charge of the family...

He said: "You can't gossip about this matter, being divorced is not a good thing after all."

"Don't worry, I still have this measure."
