[Red House] Second Master Liangshang Lian

"Oh, this street is so deserted that even a dog doesn't want to wander here. Where did the high rent come from? This cloth shop was bought by the shopkeeper, and there is no such thing as rent." The man said exaggeratedly.

Jia Lian showed displeasure upon hearing this unrestrained words.Xing'er on the side even pointed at the man's nose and cursed: "You bastard, do you ever talk like that? Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths."

The clerk also knew that he said something wrong, and immediately made a gesture to slap his mouth, "Look at my stupid mouth, my son is so majestic, how can I compare it with a dog."

Jia Lian's brows twitched, these two people couldn't get along with the dog, what happened to the dog and they wanted to spoil it like this.Seeing that the two were silent, he returned to the subject: "Since the terrain is not good, why do you want to buy a shop here?"

The man didn't dare to say any more useless words, so he replied honestly: "The price of a shop in a good location is also high. Like this cloth shop, the upper and lower floors only cost 80 taels of silver. As you can see, there were a lot of people at the beginning. I came here to buy shops because of the cheap price, but in the end I lost all my money, so the shops on this street were more than half empty in a short time, and I heard that the prices of the shops on the nearest street were much lower."

Jia Lian asked again: "If you want to buy a shop, who should you talk to?"

The man thought for a while and said, "As for the shopkeeper Du at the first shop at the end of this street, he owns half of the empty shops on this street."

Jia Lian stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't speak, the man thought Jia Lian didn't want to buy any more cloth. He was anxious and asked, "Master, do you see this cloth...?"

Jia Lian was thinking about something when he was suddenly interrupted, and immediately frowned: "Wrap it up and send it to Jia's mansion tomorrow. Just say that the cloth was ordered by Mr. Jia, and you can pay the bill with the housekeeper Lin Zhixiao. By the way, choose another one." The finest women's silks and satins will also be sent over."

He doesn't have any spare money to buy Yunjin now, but after inquiring about so many things, he is too embarrassed not to buy anything, so he simply puts the account on Jia She, since he, as a son, also cares about Lao Tzu. .As for the women's silk and satin, it was for Mrs. Xing.Although he didn't have much contact with Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing didn't have a high sense of presence in the family, and she was confused, but since he had to call her mother, he had to do enough to save face, so as not to be blamed.All in all, it is best not to be an enemy, if not a help.

The clerk nodded again and again: "Okay, don't worry, my lord, it will be delivered tomorrow." No matter what you ask, just spend money to buy cloth.

After leaving Buzhuang, Jia Lian did not go to find the shopkeeper Du, but took Xing'er to the nearby famous Hongyunlou for dinner.

Although the food of the people in Jia's mansion is not bad, it is far worse than the restaurants outside.Xing'er stood beside Jia Lian and dared not sit down. Jia Lian gave him a bowl full of dishes after a few words of persuasion to no avail.It’s rare to have a meal outside. Even though he was standing, Xing’er still ate with gusto, feeling overwhelmed with happiness. Perhaps he ate too much, and a chicken wing fell to the ground with a shaking hand. His heart ached, thinking Without even thinking about it, he picked up the chicken wings on the ground and wanted to put them in his mouth.

Seeing this, Jia Lian immediately stopped him, "What is this doing? It's very strange."

Xing'er put down the chicken wings in his hand embarrassingly, but his eyes were still reluctant to leave the chicken wings.

Jia Lian shook his head amusedly, and seeing that there was only one chicken leg left, he tore it off and handed it to Xing'er, "Eat it, if it's not enough, make another plate."

Xing'er stared at the chicken legs in a daze, and after a while he came back to his senses and said in a nonchalant manner: "How can this be, Er Ye, you can eat it." He was already very satisfied to be able to eat chicken wings.

With a big wave of his hand, Jia Lian put the chicken leg into Xing'er's bowl involuntarily, and said proudly, "Eat it as soon as I let you eat it, and you push a chicken leg back and forth. Those who don't know think I treat you harshly."

When Xing'er heard this, she was moved to tears.The dishes of Hongyunlou are famous far and wide, and the people who come to eat are all dignitaries. His family's second master not only brought him to eat, but also gave him big chicken legs. His nose was sour, and he didn't know what to say.

Jia Lian pretended not to see Xing'er's expression, and said flatly, "You have been serving me for so many years and you know that Second Master is a person who values ​​affection. As long as you are sincere to me, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Xing'er looked at the chicken legs in the bowl, swallowed, and nodded again and again: "I can learn from my heartfelt heart to Er Ye. From now on, I will do whatever Er Ye says. I will never go west when Er Ye says things. Second Master's order."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. I just want to say that our family has a big business, and there are many people with mixed tongues. From now on, say what you should say, and don't say a word if you shouldn't say it. If there are people in this family You should also pay attention to the wind and grass. Of course, you can also choose one or two capable people to help you."

If you want to survive in Jia's house safe and sound, you can't do without an eyeliner.

Xing'er nodded heavily while gnawing on the chicken leg, expressing that she understood everything.

The dishes of this Hongyunlou really live up to its reputation, a plate of ordinary garlic and amaranth is quite delicious.As he ate, Jia Lian had a plan in his mind. If he opened a restaurant in the future and the food was more novel and delicious than here, wouldn't it be a big profit.However, opening a restaurant and opening a chess and card room are two different things. To open a restaurant, you must have a more spacious shop and a first-class chef. room, the rest is for later.

After dinner, Jia Lian went home.

He wanted to go home and think about the shop carefully, but just as he entered the courtyard, there was a slender figure rushing in front of him.

Jia Lian was startled, and instinctively took a big step back, and then he heard Xing'er's scream.

It turned out that he had stepped on Xing'er's foot.

But now he doesn't have time to care about Xing'er's feet, even if he can't step on him, he won't be able to cripple him.

"Second Lord, save Xue Zhu!" Xue Yuan cried with pear blossoms in the rain.

Jia Lian was taken aback, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that Xue Zhu was the maid who climbed into his bed that night.

"What's up with her?"

Xue Yuan wiped her tears, faltering and hawing, unable to explain why.

Jia Lian had a headache, "How can I save her if you don't explain the reason clearly?"

Only then did Xueyuan whisper: "After the second master went out, she immediately went to the master's room, and didn't come out for a long time. Later...then she was taken away by Tweety next to Madam."

There are two masters in Jia's mansion, no need to guess, the master Xue Yuan mentioned must be Jia She.

Jia Lian yelled in his heart that something was wrong, "Why did she go to father's room?"

Xueyuan grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and said: "She is obsessed with ghosts, and I won't listen to any persuasion, saying that she is unwilling to be a maid for the rest of her life. She said...she said... "

Jia Lian is most afraid of people half-talking, listening to people will get angry, and they will be anxious to death.

"What? You said it."

"She said that since she can't be the second master's aunt, she should be the master's aunt, but it doesn't make any difference if she moves from one yard to another..."

Jia Lian really wanted to cover his ears, but he couldn't listen anymore.

This is all fallacy.

As soon as he was about to speak, he met Xue Yuan's pitiful gaze, not because he was careless, but because he had also seen such gaze from Xuezhu's eyes.He didn't feel moved at all, just felt creepy.

"Since you don't listen to the persuasion, you should stop her. There are so many people in my yard, but you still can't stop her alone? I've only been out for a long time, so I'm going to make this happen for me. Are you going to let her go?" Ansheng."

Xueyuan pouted and said aggrievedly: "I thought Second Master cared a little about her, so I didn't dare to do anything to her."

Jia Lian was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Dare to love or his fault.

Since time travel, he hasn't cared about anyone.

"Where's father?"

Xueyuan replied: "Master just went out and is not at home."

Jia Lian: "..."

Run away?

Isn't this a shrinking turtle?

"Xing'er, go out and find out where your father has gone." After ordering Xing'er, Jia Lian looked at Xue Yuan and said, "Come with me."

Xueyuan didn't dare to ask more questions, and followed Jia Lian out of the yard.

It's a long way to go to Mrs. Xing's residence. Jia Lian didn't choose to take a sedan chair because he had to think about how to deal with Xuezhu on the way.Originally, he thought that when he opened the shop and made money, he would give Xuezhu and Xueyuan a sum of money and let them go out of Jia's mansion and go home.If they don't want to, he can also send them to serve Jia's mother. No matter what, he has to deal with the evil that Jia Lian did.

Unexpectedly, Xue Zhu would go to find Jia Amnesty behind his back.

This made him explain in front of Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing is also a woman, how could she remain indifferent to Jia She's promiscuity.She couldn't control the matter of taking concubines, but she was afraid of offending Jia She.After all, she was just numb.But this time the situation is quite different. She put people in Jia She's room to please Jia She, but what's the matter with her son putting people in his father's room?

Although he didn't do this, in Mrs. Xing's heart at this moment, he is just a son who ignored his stepmother and sent the maids in his yard to his father.

He was wronged enough.

At this moment, Xueyuan, who was following Jia Lian, felt a little complacent in her heart. She had always looked down on Xuezhu's coquettish appearance, and she could just follow her way.It's good now, she got into trouble, Second Master Lian might not be able to tolerate her anymore.In this way, she has one less competitor.

When they arrived at Mrs. Xing's courtyard, Jia Lian first asked the maid at the door to report.

After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, the servant girl came to send word that Mrs. Xing asked him to go to the main room.He asked Xueyuan to wait at the door of the main room, and he lifted the curtain and walked into the main room.

As soon as he entered the door, Jia Lian saw Xuezhu kneeling on the ground.

Soon, his eyes left Xuezhu's back, and then he respectfully saluted Mrs. Xing who was sitting there expressionlessly: "Mother."

Madam Xing pointed to the lower right seat and said, "Sit down and talk."

The tone didn't sound too bad.

Jia Lian took a step forward, stood beside Xuezhu who was looking ashamed and angry, and said sadly: "I heard about this just after I came back, and I was anxious and angry, so I hurried to apologize to my mother. Yan, no matter how the mother punishes, the son will never complain."

His words stunned Mrs. Xing who had prepared a lot of complaints.

"You don't know?" Mrs. Xing stared at Jia Lian's face, afraid of missing any expression on his face that could show that he was lying.

Jia Lian said firmly, "I really don't know. If I knew she would do such a thing, I would definitely inform my mother as soon as possible and let her decide."
