The Red House Returns the Pearl Lin's Home

Because she saw Little Swallow in her wedding gown arguing with others, Lin Lu thought that she was about to meet her destined good sister Xia Ziwei and start the first plot of Huanzhugege, which was full of blood, but unfortunately the next day after the prison Based on the information presented, I told him that it was actually not the case.

It's been a long time, and Lin Lu now only vaguely remembers that at the beginning of the story, Little Swallow had cheated on her marriage and even messed with an official in court.

He flipped through the thin sheets of paper in his hand. At this time, Little Yanzi had never met a beautiful master and servant who came to Beijing from Jinan to seek relatives. It can be seen that this person had done a lot before the story of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" started. It's the act of pretending to be a bride.

And little Yanzi is not seventeen or eighteen years old as she looks, her real age is only 15 years old, because she has practiced three-legged cat kung fu, her bones developed earlier, she looks taller and more mature than her actual age, which is quite similar to Lin Lin's situation .

Lin Lu didn't put too much energy on it. Since the plot of returning the pearl hadn't started yet, he didn't need to worry about it. On the contrary, moving out of Jia's house was imminent.

He had already boasted to Lin Lin and Lin Daiyu that he would move out of this den before the New Year's Eve. Now that the New Year's Eve was approaching, he naturally had to act.

Jia Lian was sitting with Wang Xifeng, listening to Jia Qiang's story about buying twelve girls from Gusu, when suddenly the curtain was pulled open, and Ping'er's voice was lower than usual: "Second Master, Second Grandma, Uncle Lin coming."

Wang Xifeng heard that her voice was different, so she quickly winked at Jia Lian, Jia Lian understood, gestured for Jia Qiang to sit still, stood up by herself and said, "I'm here at this time, I'm afraid my cousin has something to do, I'll go out and have a look. "

As soon as the words fell, Ping'er said in a soft voice: "Uncle Lin has encountered something troublesome, and his brow is sweating in a hurry, and sister Ning will not persuade him."

As soon as Jia Lian heard it, she knew it was a reminder that she had already reached the door and was waiting to go out, but Lin Lu had already lifted the curtain and rushed in.

Jia Lian took a look and yelled badly to herself first. Lin Lu's eyes were wide with anger, her eyebrows were erected, and her face was swollen and flushed.

Seeing that his complexion was really bad, Jia Lian hurriedly smiled and said: "What's wrong with my cousin, but whoever is not open-minded has offended my cousin, just tell me, our aunts and cousins ​​have nothing to say, it is me If it can't be solved, the old lady and the elder master can also help, our family will never be bullied by outsiders!"

Seeing that Jia Qiang was there, Lin Lu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, her expression became even more ugly, and she sneered, "Second Cousin Lian speaks better than he sings. Having said that, I, as a cousin, can rely on you to make the decision."

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian suddenly turned his face, and couldn't keep smiling, Wang Xifeng hurriedly stood up and said, "Cousin Lin, what are you talking about, but if you can help, how can your cousin not be dedicated? "

Jia Qiang had already seen that something was wrong, he was closer to the Ningguo Mansion, and it was the first time he saw Lin Lu, knowing that he shouldn't listen to what was said next, so he hurriedly stood up and bid farewell to Jia Lian and his wife.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng couldn't get away to see him off at this time, but fortunately Lin Lu didn't seem to intend to turn his face in front of outsiders, and didn't intend to stop, Wang Xifeng hurriedly ordered Ping'er to lead Jia Qiang away.

Lin Lu waited for Jia Qiang to go away with a gloomy face, and then moved the corners of her lips, and said with a half-smile: "I will tell Lian's second cousin, Sister Feng, that cousin, I met a clever sect on the street today."

Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat, and he managed to pull himself together and said, "I don't know what happened to my cousin?"

When he asked this question, Lin Lu's expression changed in a blink of an eye. It was still cloudy just now, and her speech was half cloudy, but suddenly the sun was shining brightly. Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat again by such a nervous reaction.

This guy didn't regard himself as an outsider, so he pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "I was out shopping after drinking tea with a good friend, but I saw a kid looking around. I'm going to turn my back on someone, but the guy who followed me—to be precise, the guy who was borrowed by me to follow my brother recognized the thief, saying that he came out with me last time, and he also found out that this kid was secretly Followed me."

As soon as these words were released, Jia Lian's heart stopped beating, and he just felt his heart sinking directly. After a long time, he said awkwardly: "Cousin Lin?"

It's not that he doesn't want to deny it, but judging by Lin Lu's reaction, it's obvious that he's the one who did it. Besides, the person listening to him is still being detained, so he can't help but deny it.

Jia Lianyuan sent out a total of four servants. He still doesn't know who was caught by mistake, and he hates him to death. Seeing that he is about to offend Lin Lu to the end, he also regrets his mistake and secretly scolds himself for being reckless.

——If I knew that when I found out that the Lin family had contacts with such powerful people as Liu Tongxun, I should have stopped, otherwise why did I get to the point where I am now passive?

Jia Lian really doesn't want to think about the consequences of this matter, Lin Lu and Lin Lin are not easy to provoke, Xue Pan and Jia Zheng are still lying on the bed, what relatives are not relatives, these brothers are very happy to turn their faces the Lord.Thinking of this, his scalp was numb, his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't say anything else for a while.

"As soon as I heard about this kind of thing, I was naturally very angry, so I asked Hulao to interrogate him carefully - Lian's second cousin also knew that Hulao had been with Ziyu since he was a child, and my younger brother was born in martial arts. He knows a lot of ways to punish people, and after so many years, Hulao has also stolen a lot of teachers." Lin Lu glanced at Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng who were fidgeting, "Maybe there are indeed people who are not afraid of death, but How many people can endure the torment that life is worse than death? Under severe punishment, what news can’t be obtained? As soon as Hulao makes a move, he will confess everything in twos and threes.”

After talking nonsense, Jia Lian's face turned blue, and Lin Lu didn't seem to realize it. The old god sighed and sighed: "In fact, when this kind of thing happened, I should have reported it to the police. My father has a criminal record. Tan Hua, a second-rank official, upright and honest, passed away at Ren, and now, even though my sister and I are alone, no matter what happens, there is the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture who decides for us. From the government. But it’s a coincidence that my friend also has friendship with the governor of Shuntian Mansion, and he said that there is no need to bother Shuntian Mansion with this matter, and he can take care of it when something happens, so we settled it in private."

After Lin Lu finished speaking, she paused deliberately, guessing that Jia Lian had almost digested the words, and then sneered: "Who am I, Lian's second cousin and sister Feng also know, the mother-in-law in the house said My younger sister has no dust in her eyes. In fact, I am the elder brother who is the most petty and vengeful person. To tell you the truth, I have read the sage books for more than ten years in vain. I didn’t learn anything, Lao Shizi’s repayment of kindness with kindness is all false, I only know that if someone else hurts one of my fingers, I will destroy his ten fingers in return.”

Hearing that he brought out Hailancha to suppress people, his words were cold inside and out, and at the end it was a naked threat, and the intention of turning his face was very obvious. A little unsteady on my feet.

On the contrary, although Wang Xifeng's expression was slightly different, he immediately covered it up, pinched the veil and smiled: "It should be like this. Cousin Lin has been bullied, so naturally I can't make that villain feel better."

As she spoke, she naturally leaned forward slightly, and with the cover of her long sleeves, she gently squeezed Jia Lian's cold hand, signaling him not to be so discouraged.

Taking advantage of the heat from her fingers, Jia Lian managed to force a smile just now and said, "Cousin Lin is right, this is what we men do."

"It's great that Lian's second cousin, Sister Feng, thinks this way. We are the same kind of people," Lin Lu bent her lips, and then she smiled again, and said coldly, "Didn't my cousin and sister hear that?" What nonsense the boy said was sent by Lord Wang and Lord Li, but in the end, like a mad dog, he even bit the second cousin Lian on the head."

Lin Lu looked up at Jia Lian's pale face, her dark round eyes were full of trust and respect, and her expression softened: "My second cousin Lian also said that our two families are cousins, and we couldn't be closer. What is my family? Lian's second cousin also knows about the situation. Ever since my father and mother passed away, my sister and I lived alone in this world, only relatives from my grandmother's family remained. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust? Woolen cloth?"

Jia Lian's heart was like falling from a height of [-] feet, and when he was about to fall into the latrine, he was lifted up to a height of [-] feet. He was overjoyed and ignored the dizziness caused by such a change, and hurriedly put on an angry look. He slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Of course it is. Cousin Lin knows what kind of person I am. How could I do such a thing to my cousin?"

Wang Xifeng also laughed and said: "I'm afraid it's the villain deliberately provoking. There are such villains all the time, so they can't see the good of our two families! Fortunately, my cousin is smart and didn't fall for it."

"Of course, don't care who's behind that guy. He's trying to get me to turn against Lian's second cousin and use me as a weapon. How can I satisfy him?" Lin Lu was quite cooperative and angrily cursed. , "I just don't know who is so vicious and vicious, and dare to do such a vile thing to stir up relatives. I have already asked Hulao to interrogate that boy, but he is very strict in his mouth. Believe me."

This is a threat of running naked. The young man was in his hands for a while, and Lin Lu was holding the handle of Jia's big house in his hand. Jia Lian's smile froze, and then he covered it up as if nothing had happened, and patted his chest to promise: "Cousin, don't worry." , I’ll send some people to investigate immediately, so my cousin’s grievances won’t be in vain, and the ignorant thing has bullied our men, so it’s okay if we don’t teach him a lesson?”

"Leave it to Lian's second cousin. Of course, I can rest assured 1 times and [-] people." Lin Lu smiled and nodded, giving him a reassurance.

Seeing Jia Lian's expression softened, Lin Lu rolled her eyes, and immediately changed her expression, her face was full of pink and purple, the standard expression of a melancholy boy, she brushed her right hand to her forehead, and sighed: "Don't talk about this, I'm getting angry because of this kid." It's not worth losing your life, Lian's second cousin and Sister Feng are the top managers in the house, so don't worry too much about it—Is there something I want to ask Sister Feng?"

You are the one who speaks nonsense, and you are the one who speaks people's words, and you sing bad faces and red faces at the same time. Rao, with Wang Xifeng's mentality, he was confused by him for a while, then regained his energy and said with a smile: "Look at what Cousin Lin said. Well, with our relationship, it’s enough to just say something, do I still dare not do my best? Why use the word 'begging' instead?"

Lin Lu put on a very embarrassed face and struggled for a long while before scratching her scalp and said with a bitter face: "Now it will be New Year's Eve soon, I am the head of the family and the head of the Lin family, so I should take on the responsibility of worshiping the ancestors and gods." The responsibility of the family - this naturally has no reason to do it at the grandfather's relative's house, so I reckoned to find time to move to the Lin family's own house, so I won't bother here anymore."

After Jia Lian heard the first sentence, he knew what he wanted to say, and couldn't help but smiled wryly to himself. He also had a clear mind about this matter. It was in accordance with the rules and etiquette that the brothers of the Lin family were leaving. , but with Jia's mother as a hindrance, Lin Lu mentioned it again this morning, but was blocked back.

Jia Lian also understood Jia's mother's clutching hands and refusing to let her go. Since the construction of the Grand View Garden began, money was spent like water. Only then did a general structure come out, and most of the money in Jia's treasury had been wiped out.

The Rongning Second Mansion has a large population, and after the death of the older generation, the new generation continued to divide the family and the land. The real estate and farms in their hands are getting less and less, but they still have to put on the grandeur of the Duke's Mansion. Tight, some can't turn around.

What's more, the New Year's Eve is approaching, and the servants have to be rewarded, and the eunuchs who come to fight the autumn wind have to be dealt with. The Rongguo Mansion is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface.

But the virtuous concubine in the palace is very honored to visit her relatives, there is no delay, the construction period of the Grand View Garden cannot be delayed, and the Jia family has no money in their hands, so naturally they want to play other people's ideas.

As relatives-in-law, the Wang family, the historian, has a heartfelt expression, and the Xue family is even more generous. Xue Baochai's entry into the palace depends on Jia Yuanchun's help. Even if he loses the election, there is still Jia Baoyu, a good husband. She is considerate, and has not waited for Mrs. Wang to open her mouth in the past few months. She carried the wooden box to Mrs. Wang's room several times to find it, and threw out several 10 taels of silver bills in exchange for Mrs. Wang's countless praises for Xue Baochai. talk.

With such a role model in front of her, after comparing Madam Wang, Lin Lu and Lin Daiyu, who are sitting still and as stable as Mount Tai, are even more unfriendly.

Of course, Lin Lu also gave Jia Mu a generous gift after the family-protesting edict came down. Mrs. Wang's connections are another mistake.

Jia's mother is also very clear about Mrs. Wang's thoughts. Although she has no intention of helping Mrs. Wang, she is also providing help secretly. After all, it is their Jia family who benefit from what Mrs. Wang does.

No matter how close Lin Lu and Lin Daiyu are, they are only grandchildren and grandchildren, and they are no better than mother Jia's son's grandson. It doesn't sound like any guilt.

But Mrs. Wang has limited means, and Lin Lu is not easy to mess with. After spending such a long time, stealing chickens is nothing, not to mention gaining nothing, and she was pointed at her nose and mocked a few times. Mrs. Wang is shameless Losing the adults, Jia's mother was not happy.

Jia Lian went through the doorway in his heart, and when he saw that the other party gave him this hot potato in a blink of an eye, he still had to accept it, so he said bravely: "What's so difficult about this, my cousin is sincere and filial, so I should It's okay to organize the ancestor worship ceremony, it's not that the old lady doesn't understand the rules, it's because you brothers and sisters are so painful, and you can't bear to let go for a while."

Lin Lu clapped her hands and said with a smile: "What Lian's second cousin said is exactly what I thought, the old lady is full of compassion, we brothers and sisters can only be grateful, how can we have other thoughts?"

After a pause, he added meaningfully, "It's just that Lian's second cousin also saw that our two families were getting too close, which made the villain angry and tried to provoke our relationship. As the saying goes, 'Ming Qiang' It's easy to block, but hard to guard against', we are in the open, he is in the dark, if it happens a few times, we will be suspicious of each other, and it will also damage the relationship-it's just that I can't talk to my grandmother about some things."

Jia Lian glanced at him in surprise, understood his hint, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "That's the reason, I understand, it's just right to ask your sister-in-law to go."

Wang Xifeng was still hesitant to tell Jia's mother about such things, but seeing that Jia Lian had already agreed, she also agreed.

Lin Lu achieved her goal, stood up contentedly, said a few polite words, and said goodbye.

He has only been here for a stick of incense, and Jia Lian feels as if it has been ten years, sweating all over his body, before he can breathe a sigh of relief, he sees Lin Lu who has already walked to the door, suddenly stops and turns her head, her goose egg face is full of happiness With a smile: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell my cousin. A good friend and I partnered up to set up a shop for fun, but I don't have anyone at hand, so I want to borrow one from my cousin." .”

Seeing Jia Lian looking over in surprise, Lin Lu expressed panic and immediately explained: "That friend and I are not short of money, the shop has enough funds, and all the goods are ready, and we will be going soon." We opened the business, but we found out that there is a lack of experienced staff at the end of the matter, what can we two juniors know, and we can only ask our cousin if we are cheeky—if it is difficult, let it be, just a small matter."

——That is to say, the shop does not need him to pay half a copper, but he has to count another share of the dividends.Jia Lian is such a fine person, why can't he understand the meaning of his words, and said with a smile: "It's not worth anything, my cousin is interested, and I, my cousin, will naturally support it with all my strength. Bring it to my cousin personally."

Lin Lu thanked her again, and then lifted the curtain and walked out with joy.

Jia Lian sighed for a long time, and fell down on the kang wearily: "My cousin Lin is more difficult than ten businessmen." Sometimes good and sometimes bad, just like changing faces in Sichuan and Shu, changing faces is faster than flipping through books.

Wang Xifeng personally poured him a cup of tea, frowned and said: "Second Master, you also know what kind of help the Lin family is staying in the house. It’s hard to explain there.”

"You pretend I don't know this? What can I do? You have heard what Cousin Lin said. There are knives and thorns pierced between the words and sentences. How can you be friendly?" Jia Lian held up the teacup and took a look. Drank it all, and sighed, "If you offend the second wife, you will be offended. Don't we help the Lin family move out, and the second wife will be so pleasing to you and me? Only Baoyu is her real son."

Naturally, Wang Xifeng understood that he was alluding to the open and secret struggle between the eldest house and the second house. She had a special status, being married to the big house as a daughter-in-law and also an aunt who was in charge of the second house, so it was hard to say anything.

Jia Lian also didn't have the desire to go deep into this topic. It was enough for him to know what was going on in his mind. Some things couldn't be said clearly, even to his own wife, so he touched his green scalp and changed the subject: "Lin Cousin is really a capable and resourceful person, and when he said something, I would call him stupid."

Wang Xifeng also felt sorry for her. Lin Lu really dared to speak and act, and the conversation fell down in a crackling manner. She didn't give the couple any time to reflect, and completely controlled the conversation.

And the most wonderful thing is that although Lin Lu is aggressive, she is not disgusting at all. He first detained Jia Lian with words, and then let him go in a flash. After Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian had a fight, they didn't forget to give another big sweet date. Jia Lian was so worried that he lost his temper completely.

Jia Lian really doesn't have much ill feeling towards Lin Lu now, the first room and the second room have been at odds for a long time, it's simply unrealistic to say that they will live in harmony forever, and it's only a matter of time before they turn their faces.Since she was going to get rid of Madam Wang's face after all, now she did Lin Lu a favor and earned a favor, and Lin Lu even bought one-third of the shares in a shop.

Jia Lian was not stupid, he naturally recognized who the "good friend" Lin Lu was talking about, and he knew about Hai Lancha's friendship with Lin Lu when he sent a servant to follow him on the first day.

That was no one else, the celebrity in front of the emperor, the 17-year-old first-class bodyguard, he took the shares in the shop, at least he didn't have to be afraid of being bullied.

The profit of a shop is still small, and the wonderful thing is that Jia Lian can finally connect with a powerful figure in the court, which cannot be bought with any amount of money.

Don't say that Lin Lu just told him not to care about his personal affairs, and he could get money into the account every month, that is, he asked Jia Lian to pay the money in
