Jia Lian heard what she said and said: "That's exactly what I said. But our family is able to have the situation it is today, thanks to the blessing of our ancestors. When the ancestral hall opens tomorrow to worship the ancestors, I will offer a few sticks of incense to the ancestors." , and sincerely kowtow a few more times."

(Xu Li: There is such a big commotion after giving something, and I dare not give rewards in the future, what should I do?)

Wang Xifeng: Shangxian doesn't seem to like asking people to burn incense and kowtow, what should I do?

After thinking and thinking, Wang Xifeng still said: "I remember our ancestors said before, don't just know how to burn incense and kowtow, you should do more good deeds, and accumulate more merits to benefit future generations."

Jia Lian heard this and said: "I don't know when it happened. But it's good to do more good deeds. Whether it can benefit future generations or not, it is a matter of accumulating virtue. We just need to be ashamed of our hearts. "

The couple kept whispering, and both of them were so excited that they couldn't sleep.Just thinking that Jia Lian would have to go to work tomorrow morning, he drank two bowls of tranquilizing tea before falling asleep.

Because of this imperial decree, waves were stirred up and down the Rongguo Mansion.Especially the servants of the mansion suddenly realized that everything in the mansion belonged to the great master, and the title and mansion would also be inherited by the second master Lian.Now Second Lord Lian even earned an extra title for himself and his descendants.But I originally thought that the second master was the only official in the mansion, and the whole Rongguo Mansion was supported by the second master, so the second master was the family in the mansion, and I kept hearing the old lady and the second wife say that the mansion would belong to Baoyu in the future. this is not right.For a time, everyone had this kind of enlightenment.

Within two days, for some reason, there were rumors in the mansion again, saying that the Elder Master Jia She had asked the Second Master to live in Rongxi Hall for many years because he saw that he was in poor health and needed to recuperate. Raise your children and be filial to your mother.This kind of rumor spread from Rongguo Mansion, and it has been heard in the whole capital.

All of a sudden, the whole capital knew how Jia She, the first general of the Rongguo Mansion, was filial to his mother and friendly to his brothers.It made his whole reputation better, and dilute everyone's original impression of him as lewd and lustful.

When Jia She in Rongguo Mansion heard the rumors, he just curled his lips.Guessing this in my heart, the old lady probably asked someone to say it.Although this statement is good for the reputation of myself and my second brother, I really don't want to be famous.Originally, I just wanted to be a ridiculous and useless old dandy so that no one else could remember me.Now that this reputation is spread, I'm afraid I won't even be able to go out of the house to shop for antiques.It seems that I can only follow the imperial decree and just stay in the mansion to recuperate.At that moment, he really nested up and could not leave the yard easily, and just hugged his antique calligraphy and paintings every day as a pastime.

As for Jia Zheng, who had always claimed that he would not be sick, he also felt that he had regained some face after hearing this.I kept telling myself in my heart that it was true that I lived in Rongxi Hall to take care of government affairs for my elder brother for many years because of his poor health.Lian'er was taught and raised by himself since he was a child. Now that he can build himself up and make contributions, he can rest assured that the family will be entrusted to him.And he was finally able to let go of these vulgar things and concentrate on political affairs.Take the time to teach Baoyu, Huan'er and Lan Geer well, and when they are also successful, they will be able to retire to live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

Anyway, after a few days of self-discovery, Jia Zheng was finally able to go out normally and go on business.It's just that every time I see Jia Lian always looks very comforted, and says in his mouth: "Lian'er is also promising now, since you can be appreciated by the saint, you must dedicate yourself to your duty and not slack in the slightest, so as to live up to the grace of the saint. It's not in vain of what I taught you since childhood."

Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Lian's teeth ached, and he thought to himself, what have you taught me.When I was studying with Big Brother Zhu, I couldn't keep up because I was young, but you never said that you would make up for me alone.Just a few random reprimands.The second aunt on the side must have said that our young master has to study hard in the cold window, he is only a few years old, he does not need to work as hard as Zhu'er, and it is not too late to start studying when he is a few years older.Then just let yourself have fun.But now that I think about it, I really have to thank my second uncle for not teaching me carefully, otherwise I might be forced by them to be weak and sick and die young like Big Brother Zhu.

No matter how much he thought in his heart, when he met Jia Zheng like this, Jia Lian could only say yes and be extremely grateful.Every time she went back to her room to complain to Wang Xifeng, she would laugh at her for a long time, and said: "The old lady just got back the face of the second master, didn't the second master hurry up and use you to put gold on his face. In this way he is For many years, he has worked tirelessly to help his elder brother manage the house, and also selflessly helped his elder brother to educate such a promising young talent as the second master. Where can we stop? Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, he wants everyone to think so. Anyway, you can’t go out to argue with gongs and drums. Just watch it. From now on, if we ask him to hold on to it, there will be plenty of people. You are scolding us. From this point of view, although the second master is not very good as an official, he still has a sense of purpose. You just bear it honestly."

Looking at Jia Zheng every day, he put on an attitude that he is a great hero in the mansion and that he is kind to your wife.Jia Lian was really helpless, who said that it was his elders.And I really grew up with the second bedroom, I don't know how they teach my outsiders.Now tell them to always put on an appearance that they can't live without their teachings, maybe others will really believe it.Who can I ask for reasoning?

Therefore, Jia Lian always hides when he can, but he can't escape, so he can only respectfully greet him, and then quickly find an excuse to walk away.It's just that I really don't dare to slack off to the couple at ordinary times, for fear of being said that I am ungrateful.

Soon Wang Xifeng realized that it was not only Jia Lian who needed to be patient, but also herself.Seeing that my aunt also followed the second master, she often put on a stance of her hard work, and said something, "Now that you and Lian'er can support the family, your second uncle and I can let go of it with confidence. " "Now let us live in Lixiangyuan with peace of mind, and don't have to come to say hello to me every day as usual." "I don't expect anything else, I only hope that Baoyu can reunite with him. It’s enough for my brother to be as successful.” After hearing these words, Feng Lazi wished she could go up and tear off her mask.Going back and telling Jia Lian, it was disgusting to both of them.

But when the two of them came back, they realized that the ginger was still old and spicy.It's strange that the old lady asked people to spread the rumor, so she was waiting here.Although it is also good for the reputation of the Grand Master, but more I still want things to develop as they are now.Tell the eldest master not to dare to stand out easily again, tell the eldest son not to get rid of the second room easily at any time, and tell the two of them not to be disrespectful to the second master and his wife in this life.And in the future, if my husband and wife don't pull Baoyu and the others, they will probably be pointed at their noses and scolded.

Having figured this out, Jia Lian and his wife looked at each other in dismay.I just feel more disgusting than swallowing a fly, but I can't show a little bit.Now I can finally understand how Erfang felt when he received the imperial decree that day.

******

Seeing the disgusted look of the couple, Xu Li couldn't laugh or cry.But in order to appease my first target, I specially found a kind of elixir called contraceptive pill for Wang Xifeng.Oral one, can have three years of contraceptive effect.It can also take care of the body specifically for Sister Feng's continuous childbirth, and restore the body to the state before giving birth.

******

When she woke up the next morning, Wang Xifeng remembered the pills she had taken in the morning, and her mood brightened up.I didn't tell anyone, just thanked him sincerely in my heart.

And no matter how upset Jia Lian was, he still had to go to work every day.As soon as he entered the house that day, Sister Feng took off her official clothes and put on ordinary clothes with her maids to wait on him. A group of people were busy around him when she heard Jia Lian say, "Today I heard a rumor at the yamen of the household department that Uncle Lin would I was transferred back to Beijing. And I was promoted several levels at once, and I want to go to the household department to directly serve as the right servant of the household department."

While arranging Jia Lian's clothes, Wang Xifeng replied casually: "There is another matter. If it is true, uncle Lin will become your immediate boss. Is there any reason? Why did such a rumor suddenly come out?"

Jia Lian finished tidying up his clothes and sat down, took a sip of tea from Feng'er and told all the maids in the house to go down, then said in a low voice: "I heard that because the treasury is not rich, there are several incidents in succession. When the disaster happened, the imperial court couldn’t even bring out the money for disaster relief. The saint wants to recover the debts owed by the ministers in the court, and he probably wants to ask Uncle Lin to come back and collect the debts.”

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng also choked for a moment, and then said: "Uncle Lin, how could you offend a saint? Why did you do such a thankless job? He is in charge of the salt administration in the south, and he may have blocked many people from getting rich. , Now that he is returning to Beijing to pursue the payment of the debt, he must not make the officials of the Manchu Dynasty hate him."

"I guess we provoked him to do this job." Jia Lian said with a smile, "You think there are ten panaceas in total, each of our husband and wife has one, the Lin family used four, and the Xue family used less than half. I offered the remaining three and a half to the saint. The Lin family has more than the saint, so the saint is not at ease."

Wang Xifeng also laughed when he heard this, and asked, "Then do you think Uncle Lin is unlucky or lucky?"

Jia Lian replied: "It's really hard to say. You think the Uncle Lin we dreamed of died in office in a few years. At that time, it happened that these princes were all grown up, and they probably wanted to pay the salt tax. I stretched out my hand. Maybe I fell into someone's scheme."
