The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

As soon as Jia Lian returned home, a young servant hurried over and told him that the old master Jia She told him to go to the study as soon as he came back. So I told him to go and ask him to find a way to get it.

While Jia Lian was thinking about whether there were news of antique treasures in the capital recently, he walked towards Jia She's study. Although Jia She's courtyard didn't occupy a large area, Jia She's outer study was no bigger than Jia Zheng's outer study. Small, it's just a pity that Jia Amnesty doesn't like to make fuss, and this place is more used to make fun of the concubines.

No, just as Jia Lian let the doorman into the house to report, a maid came out of the house with her head bowed sideways, greeted Jia Lian in a hurry, and then trotted away.

After the maid left, the servant hurried out again to invite Jia Lian in. Jia Lian stroked his forehead and sighed, striding into the door of the study, only to see Jia Amnesty still looking lazy, reclining on the big chair, seeing him Jia Lian did not move half a point.

"Master, do you want something from me?" Jia Lian quietly looked at Jia She's face, but because of Jia She's calm and leisurely appearance, he became more and more uncertain, and his tone seemed cautious.

"Could it be that I can't find you if I have nothing to do?! You are still my son, and you hang out in that yard all day. Those who don't know think that your second uncle is your father!" Jia She suddenly sat up straight and replied contemptuously.

"Where did my son ever think that way? Master, don't get me wrong. If the daughter-in-law hadn't been forced to be a housekeeper, how could my son not be filial to the master." Jia Lian hurriedly said with a low eyebrow and a pleasing smile.

"Hmph! What's going on in your good second aunt's mind? She thinks I don't know? I just want you and your wife to be clear-headed. Don't give your heart and soul to others. You don't know why you were sold. Jia She still sneered to himself, got up and walked to the window sill, and looked out the window thoughtfully.

"Master, don't worry, my daughter-in-law is bright in her heart. How can she say what she said? It's just that she told her son that she knows how difficult the master and wife are in front of the old lady. We are juniors. I can't do it, but I still have the ability to take good care of this house for the master and wife. She doesn't care what others say, but she must not let the master and wife misunderstand her." Jia Lian's words were a bit loyal Well, this is the situation in this family, the whole family is holding a precious jade, and the other children have become a foil.

"Forget her intentions, hey! Let's not talk about these nonsense, I came to you because I have something serious to tell you." Jia She waved his hand. It's not that he didn't see the behavior of his son and daughter-in-law in the past two years, but he just became angry. It is inevitable that there will be some indiscretion when you come up.

"Sir, please tell me." As soon as Jia Lian heard that there was something serious to do, his attitude immediately became much more respectful.

"You should know the news that Mrs. Lin is going back to Beijing, right?" Jia Amnesty said something before stopping again. After seeing Jia Lian nodding with a puzzled face, he continued: "Master Lin was in secret that day. He also sent someone to send me a letter. He said that it is not appropriate for our family to go on like this after all, especially when you are in your 20s and you don’t even have any serious errands. ,so what…."

"Master, I don't want to lose to my daughter-in-law, but... the old lady believed that Brother Zhu could study and be a high-ranking official, so she asked the master to give him the seat of the Imperial College, so that I could only barely admit it in the ethnology. After a few years of writing, after Brother Zhu died of illness, although the number of seats in the Guozijian was vacant, it is a pity that I am getting older, but I really want to go to school again, just thinking of studying with a group of children, I really feel that Some...besides, I don't think I'm good at studying." Jia Lian replied in embarrassment when she heard this.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, why are you rushing to explain? Are you blaming me for giving you the seat of the Imperial Academy to Brother Zhu?!" Jia Amnesty interrupted Jia Lian impatiently, angrily glared at him.

"Hey! I didn't say that. I just heard the master mentioned Master Lin. I thought the master planned to ask me to study with Master Lin. That's why I said so." Jia Lian scratched her hair innocently and said. .

"Hmph! I also know that you are not good at studying! It's just that Mrs. Lin said that if you want to be an official, you don't just have to go through the imperial examination to become an official. I also think that you don't have much ability to be a high-ranking official and be a person with real power. The petty official is still willing, so he wrote to me and told me that the emperor will not send him to work in other places when he comes to Beijing this time, but no matter what official position the emperor intends to hold for him, he will arrange for you at that time. A proper position is not too difficult, if you are willing to study hard with him for a few years, sooner or later there will be a bright future, you should think about it..." No matter how much Jia Amnesty messed up, he still hasn't messed with his son. He is not at the level of character, so he is not surprised at Jia Lian's confession.

"Since there is such a good thing, why doesn't the master think about it for himself? Besides, besides my eloquence, I can't find any other skills. It's not good for me to use words to deceive people every day, right?" Jia Lian didn't dare I believe that such a good thing happened to him, but I can't deny that I am a little moved. After all, although he is an official, he is just a donated fifth-rank fellow judge, and he looks good on the surface.

"I've been around for decades, even if I had any ambitions when I was young, it would have been useless long ago. It's better to let you go out and make a fortune. I also want to remind you that Mrs. Lin's willingness to help is because of us in the past few years. For the sake of being a good niece, to put it bluntly, your sister-in-law earned this opportunity for you, you must take care of yourself, don't be like the master, you can only mess up to the end in this life." Jia She said here, his tone There was a resentment hidden in it, although this resentment could not be easily erupted, but it could not prevent him from thinking about it and grinding it out from time to time.

"Don't worry, my son. Don't worry, master. Even if you don't tell me, I don't dare to treat my younger sister and younger sister Lin badly. Besides, just seeing how tricky my younger sister is, I don't have the ability to make her suffer." Jia Lian replied with a sneer. .

"Bastard, can you talk nonsense like that? That's your own sister!" Jia Amnesty reached out and slapped Jia Lian on the back of the head angrily, angrily angrily said.

"No, no, no! I didn't say anything." Jia Lian quickly shrank her neck and denied it repeatedly.

Seeing Jia Lian's smirking face, Jia Amnesty was so angry that he simply kicked Jia Lian out of the study.

Jia Lian followed the old man's feet and quickly jumped out of the door without any pain or itching. After standing still, he did not forget to turn around and bow to the door before leaving calmly with a smile on his face.

Jia Lian returned to the small courtyard with a smile on his face. Seeing him in a good mood, Ping'er couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She knew where Jia Lian had gone before, so she wondered if she was called by the elder?Don't you get scolded for going today?Or did the old man promise some benefits?How else would the second master look so happy?

Seeing her husband entering the door with a smile on her face, Wang Xifeng also had a look of astonishment on her face, and kept looking at Jia Lian. After a long time, she said, "Didn't the second master go to see the master? But What good thing did the master see again and asked you to come back to ask for money?"

"This time the master didn't ask for money, not only did he not ask for money, but he also said a good thing." Jia Lian sat down calmly, and before Ping'er stepped forward to serve him, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank several sips.

"Oh? What a good thing?" Wang Xifeng didn't quite believe that the father-in-law, who had always only got beauties and antiques, would share something good with her husband.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's questioning face, Jia Lian didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, she patiently told Wang Xifeng what Jia She said and what she had pondered on the way back.

Wang Xifeng was originally a person who wanted to improve his face. When he heard that Jia Lian might have a chance to succeed, how could he not be happy to agree?Thinking that this is the result of her willingness to be kind to Lin Daiyu on a daily basis, she is even more happy to think that she has protected Lin Daiyu with all her heart and soul in the past two years, and it is really not in vain.

"According to what you said, I should treat Sister Lin better in the future. You must know that Master Lin only has Sister Lin as his own daughter. Even though he has many sons now, he must still want to leave the good things to Sister Lin in his heart." , no more than my uncle, if my family can't take care of me, how can I take care of us?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile on his face.

"That's natural, but I don't know where Master Lin will sit in the future, and I don't know much about the affairs of the court. I'm afraid I have something to learn in the future." Jia Lian also said with an undiminished smile.

"Second master really doesn't understand something. Isn't there a master from grandma's family who can ask for advice? Just like grandma said, the relationship between second master and grandma's family is the closest. This kind of matter should ask the master from the mother's family to help. It's a pity that the master of the natal family has too many things to take care of, and even the aunts, grandmas and nephews who are far away in Jinling have to take care of them, and they ignore the immediate ones." Ping'er came over with tea and heard the conversation between the two, so it was inevitable. Insert a few words.

"I'm afraid it's not that the second uncle never thought about finding a serious job for the second master, but because the second master got a reputation as a dandy before he got married, the second uncle didn't dare to mention such things, for fear of ruining his reputation. Fame, right?" Wang Xifeng replied with some feeling after hearing Ping'er's words.

"Huh? I'm so bad!? Then why did he agree to you marrying me?" Jia Lian asked in disbelief, as if hearing Wang Xifeng's unkind words for the first time.

"It's not that the second uncle and the third uncle are worried that I won't marry well, and that others will tell behind their backs how sorry they are for my parents who died young, and my aunt must have worked hard to persuade and guarantee that the second uncle is a smart person, so naturally I am very willing." Wang Xifeng's eyes darkened, and she replied calmly.

"Oh! It turns out that grandma really dislikes me in her heart, but how can I say it? We have been married for several years. Grandma has a big heart and gave birth to a daughter for me. It is necessary to change my appearance in the future and work hard to earn a veritable imperial order for grandma. That's the right thing." Seeing Wang Xifeng getting depressed for no reason, Jia Lian brazenly bowed and bowed, trying to make Wang Xifeng happy.

"You are really... What are your orders? If you say that I don't care, it must be bluffing, but I hope that the second master will do things in a down-to-earth way. Don't be like Baoyu. Everyone says he was born noble, and there will be great people in the future. Good luck, but like what the second sister said, is there any man in the world whose good luck is in the inner house? It’s a shame that no one in our house can persuade the old lady, so it can only be like that It's over." Wang Xifeng said coquettishly and amusedly when Jia Lian made such a fuss.

"Grandma taught me that." Jia Lian bowed again and again, and replied solemnly.

It stands to reason that Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were able to show off their power in Rongguo Duke's mansion, and the person behind them was Wang Ziteng. Xue Pan beat someone to death in Jinling, and finally retreated unscathed. It seems that Teng has never really done anything serious for his two younger sisters. Otherwise, how could Jia Lian have only one donated acquaintance?With Jia Lian's quick-witted and eloquent temperament, if he can make a move, he may not have a real job to do, but what is puzzling is that Jia Lian in the original book has never had such an opportunity in his whole life. Whether it was really because he was too helpless to appear on the stage, or because there were other unknown circumstances, it is impossible to test.
