Lin Hong was a few years older than Jia Lian, in his thirties, slender, kind-looking, humble, and aggressive.This kind of person is more reasonable and more reliable in his work, and they are often trustworthy subordinates of the big shots.

Jia Lian deliberately chose to go there when lunch was approaching. After all, he had to drink two cups of something to say something.

After entering Lin's mansion, Jia Lian called out when they met: "Master Hong."

"Don't dare not dare, Second Master Lian shows his love." Lin Hong hurriedly gave way, "Just call me Yansheng as in the past."

After exchanging some pleasantries, after having tea, Lin Hong asked his servants to arrange the wine and dishes.

Pushing the cups and changing the cups, each exchanged a few words, took the other's pulse, Lin Hong pushed back, and there were only two people in the room.

Lin Hong asked, "Miss Lin, is she alright?"

They are all people who know the inside story, and Jia Lian also felt that there is no need to hide anything, so he said: "You know the girl's body. Although she has grown up in recent years, her foundation is weak and her foundation is weak. Every spring and autumn, she always has to toss about her. Fan. How many imperial physicians have been sought to see, all said that there is a deficiency in the mother's womb, and now it is better to take care of it."

"I don't know what the second master said. Although she is my distant niece in terms of seniority, she is also my master after all. I was just an orphan with no branches to depend on. Me, teach me a lot. Your lord is not only my benefactor, but also my mentor." Lin Hong is also a sincere person, and he spoke very earnestly.

"Since the surname is Lin, regardless of closeness, they are her family after all. The third master is alienating." Jia Lian said again.

"Having said that, I am somewhat self-aware." Lin Hong took a sip of his wine, "Now that our girl is getting older, after coming to the capital, I have wanted to visit the mansion many times to see our girl, or I don't have the time , or if you have time, you will never be able to muster up the courage.”

"Our mansion is just a grand gate. In fact, there are not so many rules. Guests come from all directions, and it's too late to welcome them. You can rest assured." Jia Lian replied.

The two of them still said some polite words like you come and go, but they didn't cut into the topic, which made Jia Lian feel a little boring.

After thinking about it, he took the initiative to say: "I was in the Lin residence a few days ago, and I heard from the housekeeper Lin that the third master originally wanted to talk about a good marriage with sister Lin?"

Lin Hong had always been a sensible person, and he and Jia Lian knew each other well. He didn't think it was necessary to hide it, but he didn't know how to speak. Now that Jia Lian finally put the topic on the right track, he was secretly happy, put down his wine glass, and glanced at Jia Lian again.

He smiled and said: "We are not outsiders, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. Miss Lin's life experience, knowledge, appearance, and interior are not comparable to ordinary official women. You can only find someone who matches her. "

Jia Lian: "That's natural. Sister Lin's talent is the second in our garden, and no one dares to say that she is the first. I think so, and the old lady thinks so too. The granddaughter who is too late to hurt naturally has to choose a Appropriate will do."

"Exactly, at the beginning, the master explained that since the girl went to her grandfather's house, everything will be decided by Mrs. Shi. With the contacts in your family, I can naturally find a suitable family for the girl. I am from a poor family, how dare I make a mistake. It's just that ..."

Jia Lian stared at Lin Hong: "But what? Which nobleman is the third master looking for?"

Lin Hong looked at Jia Lian, and smiled again: "Second Master Lian is also a smart man, why should we play charades, why don't you tell us what you guessed?"

Jia Lian had no choice but to say, "In this case, why don't we specify at the same time?"

Lin Hong nodded: "Okay."

Then, Jia Lian and Lin Hong bent their thumbs almost at the same time, stretched out four fingers, and moved the four slender fingers each.

It all shows that people don't speak secretly, but sometimes, there is no need to tell the truth between open people.

Jia Lian and Lin Hong showed gratified smiles at the same time, each nodded and toasted a glass of wine.

After drinking the wine, Jia Lian said, "Don't dare to hide it. When Steward Lin told me about this, I had the answer. It's just that we have never been on good terms with this 'noble man', and we don't know who to turn to for a while. Mention. You work with Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang is close to the nobleman, what kind of connections do you have?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Hong hastily waved his hand and said, "Second Master Lian, I have only met the nobleman for a few times, but it can be seen that he is suitable for our girl, and our girl is not one in a million. According to my Thoughts, as long as we find an opportunity for them to meet, there is no need for us to show up at that time, and the marriage will be bestowed by the Holy One. What you like is more effective than a hundred words from others."

With a common direction and drinks to add to the fun, Jia Lian and Lin Hong chatted quite speculatively.He also thought that the second master and the third master were calling out to see outsiders, so he simply called him brother and brother. Jia Lian called him brother Yansheng, and Lin Hong called him Lian's second brother.

It wasn't until Shen Shi that Jia Lian returned to Jia's mansion in a drunken state supported by Xing'er in the carriage.

Wang Xifeng served the old lady for dinner, and didn't have time to go back to the house until it was time to light the lamps. Hearing from Xing'er that the second master Lian was a little drunk, he came to the side room to see what happened.

"It's not Chinese New Year yet, let's get drunk first." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.

It wasn't that Jia Lian was too drunk to wake up. He drank hangover soup earlier and slept for a while. When he woke up now, his energy was much better.

"I heard from Xing'er that he went to the Lin Mansion for a drink?" Wang Xifeng asked.

Jia Lian pressed his temples, nodded, and suddenly said: "This Xinger has so many mouths!"

"Don't blame him, I forced him to say it, why, does this Master Lin have any private affairs with you that should not be disclosed?" Wang Xifeng poured a cup of tea for Jia Lian in a rare and virtuous manner.

Jia Lian sat up on the bed and took the tea: "What can I do? I just want to ask Miss Lin, Lala's family. I'm only worried that if the rumor spreads to the garden, someone from the Lin family will take her back to Gusu , there is going to be another scene."

He got up and got out of bed after drinking tea, put the teacup on the table, and stretched his muscles and bones.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "What you said is really reasonable. The devil king of our family will make a fuss to alarm the whole family."

Because Jia Lian reached an agreement with Lin Hong, he was in a good mood.If there is really another orthodox concubine, or even an imperial concubine... then in the future, even if the family is in trouble, at least someone in the court can help to say good things.

This big event really made him feel at ease, and seeing Wang Xifeng was so considerate, reflecting the faint candlelight, her face also improved a bit.Jia Lian suddenly walked up to Sister Feng, took Sister Feng into her arms, embraced her, and put her head on her shoulder.

Sister Feng was taken aback, but she heard Jia Lian say, "You have worked hard this year. If I can accomplish something good here, half of the difficulties in the house will be relieved."

Sister Feng hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"I only have an idea now, and I can't say it yet. But I'm sure."

Wang Xifeng would usually hold back any good or bad things that happened to Jia Lian in his heart, and even deliberately concealed them from her, but now that he suddenly took the initiative to report, he felt uneasy.

She asked sternly: "Are you going to do something like the old man again? It's finally calmed down, and now it's on the cusp again, don't—"

At the beginning, the old man was confiscated with foreign officials and smuggled goods. He was detained in Ping'an Prefecture and spent a lot of money to settle it. Although Wang Xifeng was also very courageous, it is different now. Now the mansion is barely able to pass a year... No matter how courageous he is, he is now learning to restrain his edge.

After hearing this, Jia Lian smiled softly, patted Sister Feng on the back, and said, "Where do you want to go? Don't worry, it's not a desperate thing."

It's strange that Sister Feng's heart is a little relaxed, she is already an old couple, seeing him so gentle and stable at this time, Wang Xifeng's heart seems to have returned to the time when she first married into the mansion several years ago... Now, There was a hint of shyness on the smooth face.

These days, she felt that Jia Lian was a little different. She couldn't say whether this change was good or bad, but at this moment, she could be sure that it was good.

Tired for a while, Ping'er shouted outside: "Second Mistress, Lin Zhixiao's family came here to ask a question."

Sister Feng said to Jia Lian, "Then I'll go back to the house first. You drank too much today, so you can rest."

"Go."

Sister Feng went out of the house with a happy face, and Ping'er joked: "Grandma has been in for so long, and she is so happy when she comes out, but what happy event is there?"

Seeing Ping'er's smiling face, Wang Xifeng was about to listen attentively, so she looked serious and asked, "Don't be silly, have you changed your new clothes for the Chinese New Year, Miss Qiao? The child grows fast, and she made it according to her stature. Clothes can't be worn anytime soon."

Ping'er replied: "Tomorrow, I will go to remind you."

In the past, the clothes were made according to the size of the body, and it was fine if they couldn't wear them anyway. Now adults must be frugal, and children must not be left behind. Sister Feng sighed slightly in her heart: the new year is sad, but after passing the new year, there is the next one...

Jia Lian didn't feel sleepy either. While lying down thinking about something, a long-lost voice sounded.

"Seeing that you know how to treat your wife well, we are more relieved." The system said.

Jia Lian was overjoyed, the system finally paid attention to people again.

"Don't just worry, ancestors, you haven't shown up for a long time, hurry up and assign tasks, otherwise I will never feel at ease."

The system replied: "It's the New Year's Eve now, and things like ancestor worship are presided over by the patriarch. You can help and do these things well..."

"Then it's better to set up a formal mission. It's good to be serious." Jia Lian doubted that the system that appeared today was dominated by the soul of the elder, and it was not reliable at all.

"Okay then... There's really nothing I can do about you."

With a "ding", Jia Lian glanced at the interface:

[Task [-]: Respect elders, love wives and children. 】

Specific content: The ancestral system does not only require the host to be kind to the deceased ancestors, but also to be more concerned about the living.After receiving the task, the host needs to treat the elders in the family well, and care for the wife and children in the family.

Mission reward: a clue.

Jia Lian couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of mission is this...

The system sensed Jia Lian's thoughts, and spit out, "You stupid thing, this is an extra reward for you, do you still despise it?"

"My child dare not, but my child will do well."

The author has something to say:

Jia Lian doesn't feel comfortable if he doesn't do the task~~~
