Rebirth of the Red Mansions: Jia Lian's way of turning over

Chapter 22 A Reminder from the Zhang Family

"Then according to this score, only Lixiangyuan is left in the house, which is a bit bigger?" Wang Xifeng was a little discouraged.

"That's right, according to the old lady's disposition, she is used to being ostentatious. The first three upper rooms in Rongqingtang will definitely be turned into a flower hall, and the five upper rooms she will enter last will at most give Yuan Chun and Baoyu, then let Sanchun live in Baoxia, and finally let us live behind Rongqingtang, and listen to her orders at any time."

"Also dispatched, is she using us as servants?"

"I'm afraid it's not as good as it is. You see, Nanny Lai and Yuanyang next to her are no more decent than the master. We may not be able to please the two of us after we have done something, so let's move to Lixiangyuan. A dozen or so rooms are more than enough for the few of us to live in." , and I can get a bigger study room for me, especially that there is only one door connecting Lixiangyuan to the house, and no one else will come in after the courtyard door is closed."

"What about my butler?"

"The small entrance behind our Rongxi Hall will never be short. You can use it as a place for recreation. After serving the old lady's meal at night, you will return to Lixiangyuan. If you feel tired from walking, let the boys It’s okay to carry you away.”

"Then don't I have to go back and forth?" Wang Xifeng was not happy at all, "Besides, Sanchun's living in Baoxia is a bit crowded, and there are exactly three rooms in the small entrance behind Rongqing Hall, so it would be best to leave them three Grandma, I work in Lixiangyuan, which happens to be close to the back street, and the manager is also close to me, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take care of it quickly if there is anything going on in the house."

"Now the mansion is about to observe filial piety, how many things can there be? After the filial piety is over, people will leave the tea, and there are not many things. Isn't there a mandarin duck at the old lady's place? Isn't she used to serving Zhou Quan? Let her Arrange it early."

From the bottom of his heart, Jia Lian didn't want the old lady to live a comfortable life.

Grandfather Jia Daishan was killed by her, her own grandmother was made difficult to find by her, and all the bad things in her previous life were caused by her. If these things had not been too involved and had no evidence, and they had really damaged the reputation of the Jia family, he, Jia Lian, would still be Happy to stinky old lady's.

But this matter can also be done slowly, when he finds the evidence, spread it out in front of the old man, and see how the old lady will deal with it.

Without the support of the old man, no matter how much the old lady's authority is, it will not be as good as it is now.

Wang Xifeng saw that he didn't care much about the old lady, so she put it aside. Speaking of which, she didn't like the old lady very much.

"Then, I'll ask Ping'er to arrange someone to clean up the yard later, and when the old lady and the second room set a fixed time, they will move together."

"Well, there's one more thing I'll just tell you. You must keep it a secret, and don't even tell Ping'er." Jia Lian took out a handbook from his bosom, "This is one of the cabinets that the Holy Majesty promised to my Jia family." As long as someone from my Jia family wins the Jinshi examination, they will be able to sit in that position sooner or later, Second Mistress Lian carefully hides it."

Wang Xifeng's eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would King Beijing come to deliver the decree? He is a prince who adopted a different surname Wang's family for nothing, not to monitor the four kings and eight princes. Could there be other things? So as long as he appears, it must be the Holy One who wants him to coordinate the four princes and eight princes."

Jia Lian smiled, "It's a pity that there are not many capable people in the house. Few people have noticed. If grandfather is still awake, he will know that I may have succeeded in the picture I made a while ago."

Wang Xifeng snatched the handwriting and looked at it carefully, especially the imperial seal on the head, which definitely cannot be forged.

"Don't be too happy, our Jia family still has to pay something. This cabinet is for us four princes and eight princes, so you will walk around with them more in the future, and the gift will be more rewarding, Bei Jing The king will definitely come to inform them, you must not reassure them, but you can’t say it, it’s best to be tacit.”

"Understood! Those people at the funeral will definitely come later, grandma, I know what to do."

"Well! One more thing, the second room must not be known. The reason why there was no decree on this matter is because the Holy Majesty wants to crush the remaining unfaithful ones, such as your Wang family."

"The Wang family? My uncle?"

"Yes, in the future, your uncle will be promoted step by step, and then he will climb high and fall heavily. At that time, there will be so many troubles, big and small, and the Holy Majesty can handle them whatever he wants. Because of this, we can't let him be on guard in advance, otherwise this handbook will be useless gone."

Wang Xifeng frowned, and sat at the side sullenly, thinking about her whole family of Wang's family, it seemed that they were all paving the way for her uncle.

"Second Mistress, it is impossible for your uncle to let go of his military power. Ever since he dared to unite with the old minions of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, the fate of the Wang family has already been doomed. You can imagine that our Four Kings and Eight Dukes dare not mess with those things again. What kind of colossus is that, how much will the Holy Majesty fear, the current Holy Majesty may turn a blind eye to our old faces, but what about the next new emperor? He would like to see a subject with deep military power coercing him?"

"I understand, I just hope that my elder brother will not be implicated."

"My good second grandma, don't worry, I will help you look after your elder brother, I just need some dandies here to support the scene, control your elder brother's social circle, those people will not encourage your elder brother to do something illegal thing."

Wang Xifeng is still central, and she doesn't understand why she suddenly became like this. When she first got married, she was still proud of being from the Wang family, but in the end...

"Okay, don't be sad, we still have a lot of things to do. Now that the elder master and your second master and I have fallen out, we will have to rely on ourselves in the future. I'm afraid you will make things difficult here. But the master will help you find With the King of Beijing as a backer, we will go over in two days."

"What? To Beijing Palace?"

"Well, let's go in the name of thank you. You help me prepare some good gifts. By the way, I have to prepare a gift for the third prince. This gift is very precious, but we must not let others know. We can do it this time. Victory depends on the three princes negotiating peace. For this, the three princes have shown their prowess with the Holy Majesty, so if we want to get involved, we will naturally rely on King Beijing Jing."

"Third prince? The third prince who is not valued? What are you paying attention to him for?"

Jia Lian smiled slightly. If he was in his previous life, he would have said the same thing, "As long as the seventh prince from Concubine Ning of the Song Dynasty fails to ascend the throne, he will not be able to escape the title of a county king. Wouldn't it be nice to have a prince as a friend?" Okay? What's more, this person should turn over. The longer he holds back, the more powerful he will be after turning over. I heard that he is filial day after day, and he is more attentive than other princes."

Wang Xifeng nodded, "That's right, the prince is something we can underestimate, we don't give these two gifts privately, let's go directly to the office, if the old lady wants to bring the second master of politics, it can't be done without spending a lot of money , just borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

"Borrowing flowers to present Buddha, how do you know that the relationship between the Lord and the King of Beijing will be very good? If the second master is gone, what will happen to your father?"

"Of course I know. If it wasn't for the fact that the King of Beijing Jing believed that you wanted to make friends with you, why didn't this letter be sent to the old lady or the second master? It was only given to you, Jia Lian! But since it was given to you, my lord You should study well."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng took out a list from the cabinet, and smiled maliciously, "The Zhang family sent someone to send a list of books today, saying that it is inconvenient to see each other in the future, so you should prepare early and wait until you come out." Old Mrs. Xiao Zhang wants to test the teacher himself, but if there is any slack, it is said that the Zhang family's family law is very strict."

The corner of Jia Lian's mouth twitched, and he took a look at it. The dense two-page book list was hard to buy, let alone read or memorize.

"Master, I have asked Wanger to go outside to buy things for you. It will fill up your study in a maximum of two days. Mrs. Zhang also said that although you planned well, you have never experienced anything before, and the result is smooth sailing." , is that your foothold is unstable, so you should try your best to make yourself a useful talent, so that you won't be put aside and become a mascot."

"So, most of these books are about agriculture, construction, etiquette, and various customs and customs. When you get out of filial piety and start rushing for the exam, you can apply what you have learned and walk around to see it. It can also be regarded as gaining knowledge."

Jia Lian was quite shocked by these words, but after a visit to the Zhang family, the old man cared so much for him, but he reminded him at this time that it is not a simple person who can see through his schemes so quickly.
