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

Jia Lian, who has never been an official or held power in his two lifetimes combined, doesn't want to be in the Rongguo Mansion at all. Even if he knows that Yuan Chun is in power again, he doesn't care. Now whether it's Wang Ziteng or someone else, it's true that he wants to hit him. Difficult slightly.

The more financial resources he has, the bigger Jia Lian's property shop will be, and the people who follow him will naturally increase, not to mention that his caravans and horses have become retirement places for retired soldiers in the army, and his caravans, pavements, and roads With the food and grass in hand, unimaginable protection can be obtained in the northwest.

This place in the northwest has always been bitter, cold and difficult. There are many businessmen who come and go, but they will not improve the local residents too much. Most of them are just smuggling and trafficking in people and goods. Apart from gaining some military merits, there is really no benefit at all.

If Jia Lian hadn't been afraid of the third prince, he definitely wouldn't have come here so easily, but he would naturally have to take back a large part of his contacts in the Rongguo Mansion, so he could do a lot here. Gold is also much more convenient.

The former Prince Teng prospered from here, and Jia Lian was hard-pressed to get here. Naturally, he would poach the corner of the wall with great enthusiasm. With in-depth interests, everyone can have enough food and clothing. There is no need to worry about having nowhere to settle after being disabled. , there are much fewer ruffians in the army, and the law and order in the city is rare and clear.

All of this is Jia Lian's real government. If he can cultivate a few scholars during his term of office, his political achievements will be excellent, and he can even be promoted to two levels.

Because he could see these benefits, Jia Lian worked hard, and Wang Xifeng continued to encourage him in the future. As long as he passed this initial hurdle, the future would be much easier.

When I was in Rongguo Mansion before, at most I just wanted to buy an official. I ate, drank and had fun all day to please the old lady and the second wife. I have to do things, and I will be able to climb to the height of the cabinet in the future. It sounds exciting.

But Jia Lian thought he was doing well, but others didn't think so. He always thought that no one in the Rongguo Mansion in the northwest was optimistic about him, and everyone thought that he was not even as good as Jia Jing after being admitted to Jinshi.

If you can't fight and go to the border, that's just wasting your life.

The second wife has been living a comfortable life recently, and it's funny when she thinks about it. Jia Lian, who has been feared by her and her second brother for a long time, has only such a promising future. It's really unpredictable!

The second wife, who has been approved by her second brother, has recently started to let people tidy up the house. The old lady's bisque closet is not big, but she also has two bedrooms inside and outside. Far.

In the eyes of the second wife, Baochai, who has completely ruined her reputation, will definitely not object, and she will even be extremely happy. At least Baoyu is willing to want her. Think about it.

In this regard, the old lady turned a blind eye and closed her eyes as if she didn't know.

After Xiren and Qingwen arranged Baoyu's things outside, they looked at each other and sighed. After Miss Bao came in, they didn't know how much the second master Bao would value them.

How dazzling Baochai used to be, how uneasy Xiren and Qingwen are now, even the prince can't escape her charm, how can the two girls match her.

Baoyu heard that Sister Bao might come to live in Rongguo Mansion, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself, she was so happy all day, she didn't spend a quarter of an hour in a daze, this person has been cured of her stupidity before she came, The attacker saw it in his eyes, and secretly went to inform the second wife at night.

After the second wife learned about this, Baochai was bound to win, and with the Xue family's current power, it would be impossible to reject her.

But things do have surprises in the world, after all the seventeenth prince used to like Xue Baochai so much, almost everyone knew that he didn't marry Baochai just because Baochai was not as good as Ji.

Even if such a woman is of low status, Concubine Zhen, a mother, cannot allow others to use her to mock her son again.

No matter what happened that night, the Taishang Emperor said everything was violent, not treason or disrespect.

The seventeenth prince's title was not taken away, and the new emperor was even posthumously proclaimed a prince. Is there anything wrong with such a person who wants a woman to be his widow?

Concubine Zhen went to find the new emperor after learning about the accident of the elder Xue family.

I don't know how they negotiated. After that, a palace lady came to Xue's mansion and scolded Baochai, asking her to wear a woman's hair in a bun and be a widow for the seventeenth prince. Baochai was designated as the prince's side concubine.

We were not able to be together before him, and after the death of the Seventeenth Prince, Baochai couldn't escape. Baochai couldn't laugh or cry at such a disparity in status, but she was happy with it. It's boring, but it's better than being abused in Rongguo Mansion.

When the seventeenth prince's concubine heard about this, she sneered, but she was powerless to refuse. She wanted to see what this legendary beauty looked like.

Concubine Zhen's move undoubtedly shattered Mrs. Wang's illusions. Baochai and the others could not count on them at all, and the Zhen family would not allow them to calculate too much, but what should Baoyu do.

Baoyu, who waited left and right but didn't wait for anyone to come, gradually became stupid again, and occasionally couldn't wake up when he was in a daze.

In this way, Mrs. Wang and the old lady still don't believe in this evil. Since Baochai can't count on it, she can only count on Daiyu.

The old lady who had forged Jia Min's letter so perfectly was quite confident that Lin Ruhai would be skeptical if she took this evil letter. No one knew Min'er's filial piety better than her.

Presumably Lin Ruhai has been able to find out Miner's character clearly, and also knows how much Miner attaches importance to the Rongguo Mansion. As Baoyu is her favorite grandson, Miner will naturally think that this is a good son-in-law candidate. Baoyu has to be mentioned from time to time.

Putting these authentic and false letters together, the credibility is extremely high, at least Mrs. Wang didn't notice anything unusual when she saw it, especially Jia Min's private seals are no different from the real ones, and all the lines are exactly the same.

The grains of that kind of jade are rarely consistent, and this kind of fraudulent means is really extremely superb.

The old lady chose a date and brought Mrs. Wang to the door of Lin's house in person. This time they came to propose marriage in a serious manner, and they didn't intend to slander anyone or accuse anyone.

Lin Daiyu, who has not been to Rongguo Mansion for a long time, as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, naturally has to come out to greet guests when there is no hostess. She is a junior who is not good at showing faces to the old lady and the second wife. Even if she is unhappy, she can only smile Greet people.

It's just that in the past few years, Lin Daiyu has become unparalleled in the world, her porcelain-like skin can be broken by blows, and even a trace of blemishes can hardly be found. The black hair is carefully erected and fixed on the back of her head. Smart and pure, especially those eyes are very clear, every frown and smile is full of girlish ethereal.

This girl is not inferior to Baochai at all, no wonder Baoyu values ​​her more.

Both the old lady and Mrs. Wang think so, and the marriage of the two Yu'er's is of course a matter of victory and not defeat, otherwise where would they find such a symbolic girl to bring Baoyu back to life.

Seeing their eyes from top to bottom, Daiyu was not very happy. Standing in front of them, she was valued like an object, and she might be calculated at any time.

As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Daiyu learned from her nanny that she should cheer up to welcome the guests and must not embarrass the Lin family, so Daiyu smiled slightly and motioned for the old lady and the second lady to sit down.

"Grandmother and Second Aunt came to Lin's Mansion for something today? If it's all right, we can let Daiyu go to Rongguo Mansion. How can Grandmother and Second Aunt be tired?"

"My dear Yu'er, my grandmother is here today to propose a marriage, but you must not come in person. Will your father take a rest today?"

The old lady held Daiyu's hand carefully and smiled very kindly, as if nothing had happened between them.

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, "Propose marriage? There is only Daiyu in the house."

The old lady couldn't help laughing, "Yeah, isn't it just to propose marriage to you? Baoyu and you are also childhood sweethearts. You two cousins ​​grew up together and you have different feelings. In the future, Daiyu, you will marry Rongguo Mansion. Life will be easy."

Daiyu's brows were deeply frowned, "Old Ancestor, don't you know that Daiyu is already engaged? Father has already engaged Daiyu a year ago, and now the six rituals are over."

"What did you say?" Wang screamed in disbelief, "What kind of marriage was arranged? Who is that person?"

Such an aggressive tone is really unpleasant.

Daiyu didn't show her face, and said weakly, "I heard from my father that he is the second son of the servant of the Ministry of Rites and the grandson of King Qing."

The status of this kind of person is not low, and he is much better than Baoyu. The most important thing is that this person has a teacher-student relationship with her father. Since last year, that person has been studying in Lin's residence, and she is an unmarried teacher. The relationship between brother and sister, marrying him is far more comfortable than marrying Baoyu.

"I heard that there are visitors from the mansion." At this moment, a handsome young man suddenly walked in from outside, and walked to Daiyu's side in a few steps, "Junior Sister, is this your grandmother, the ancestor of the Rongguo Mansion?"

Seeing him appearing suddenly, Daiyu blushed and nodded her head, looking really shy.

Tu Jiang smiled and cupped his hands at Mrs. Jia, "My boy, Tu Jiang, has seen his grandmother. Is my grandmother still in good health?"

This shameless person directly called Mrs. Jia as her grandmother. The appearance of swearing sovereignty almost made the old lady mad. After looking up and down, she didn't think there was anything good about him. He looks like he is not worthy to lift Baoyu's shoes, Lin Ruhai really deserves to be blind.

But no matter how rude Tu Jiang is, he is surnamed Tu and is a member of the royal family.

Old lady Jia couldn't pretend to be ignorant, so she could only smile and said, "A good boy, just call me grandmother. Are you the second son of the Minister of Rites? The boy who is engaged to Daiyu?"

"If you go back to grandma, it's the kid. The kid just happened to be valued by the master, so he won the favor of the junior sister. Originally, he waited for the junior sister to reach Ji before going to see the grandmother, but today the grandmother has come to the door. How can the kid turn a blind eye."

The submissive Tu Jiang has a great demeanor. He looks like a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, but he already has the solid and reliable feeling of a man, which makes a little girl like Daiyu really unable to turn his eyes away.

Daiyu looked up secretly, her eyes were even redder, her fingers couldn't help but get entangled together, her panicked smile made Tujiang stiffen her waist again, standing like a coquettish.

Wang's eyes were full of poison, wishing he could spit all over his face, to see how these two shameless lecherous bastards could gain a foothold.

At this moment, old lady Jia suddenly put on a straight face, "It's fine if you don't know the inside story, Daiyu, since you know that your mother has betrothed you and your cousin Baoyu, how can you find someone else?"

"What?" Daiyu looked at the old lady in confusion, unable to react for a while.

Tu Jiang's face darkened, "Baoyu? But Jia Baoyu from Rongguo Mansion? I've heard people say that this cousin loves stunning girls the most. What is grandmother going to do?"

"You don't have the right to speak here." Mrs. Wang called out coldly.

"I don't have a place to speak? Then I have to find my father or grandfather? They should have a place to speak! My family has never met anyone who dared to snatch a marriage in person."
