Rongfu

But she said that Mother Jia wrote to her son-in-law three times this year, wanting to take over her two granddaughters, but she was always rejected with excuses, and she was very unhappy. She didn't want her son-in-law to write to agree this time, and she immediately smiled happily. Not from ear to ear.

Seeing this, Yuanyang, who was holding her shoulders behind her, asked with a smile, "But the two cousin girls are coming?"

"Exactly, the son-in-law has already agreed." When mentioning the son-in-law, he couldn't help but think of his poor daughter, and his eyes turned red again, and said: "There are three children in the family, and the one I love the most is mine. Min'er, but I don't want to end up with a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man. It really cuts off my heart... If my two poor granddaughters can come, I will feel good seeing them Lai finally has some consolation, besides, those two children are my flesh and blood, Min'er, if they can't watch them under my nose, I will really feel uneasy."

It's not because she's afraid that her son-in-law will treat her granddaughter harshly, but because she's afraid that her son-in-law will remarry again. When she thinks that her two granddaughters will live under the hands of her stepmother in the future, she can't help wiping away her tears. It's better to ask her granddaughter to come to her side Come on, with her watching, it's always the same.

Seeing the old lady weeping, all the maids in the room were very busy and coaxed.

Yuanyang had no choice but to quickly divert this, and said: "The old lady thinks about who she will send to pick up the two cousin girls, and she must send a letter there as soon as possible, so that the two sides who come and go will miss it."

"Good girl, thank you for reminding me." Mother Jia hurriedly asked someone to answer the letter, saying that she would ask someone to pick it up. After thinking about it, she said, "Go and see what Lian'er is doing. If you are at home, ask him to come over for a while." trip."

The clever girl immediately responded and went out the door.

"The old lady wants to ask Second Master Lian to pick her up?"

"It would be inconsiderate to send a servant there. Lian'er is not eating, drinking, watching theatre, or wandering around outside all day long. It is better to send him an errand. Furthermore, cousins ​​who are first relatives are always closer and more at ease than servants. These can also show how much our family attaches importance to our two granddaughters."

"The old lady wants to be thoughtful and considerate."

"The old lady is really the most loving elder, she is always thinking of the cousin girl."

"It doesn't mean that being able to be the granddaughter of the old lady is really a very lucky thing."

All the maidservants flattered her lips as if they had been smeared with honey, which only made Jia Mu smile.

Just as he was talking, he heard a rumor from outside: "Second Lord Lian is here."

The members of Jia's family, no matter male or female, are born with good skins. Even Jia Lian, a well-known prodigal, is actually handsome and suave, without the slightest imaginary look of wretchedness. Just look at this skin, It's also very coaxing.

"Greetings, old lady." Jia Lian asked with a smile on her face, "I don't know what orders the old lady told her grandson to come here? You just have to say, depending on what kind of big business he has, my grandson will have to do it for me even if I'm so terrified." The old lady is doing well."

This mouth is full of slippery nature.

Jia's mother was proud of herself, but she laughed and cursed, "Your mouth is used to deceiving people, but it's not a big deal. There's no need to make you lose your mind. Only your uncle wrote to allow your two cousins ​​to come to our house." , you are the only one who is suitable and free at home, why don't you go and pick up your cousin yourself."

When Jia Lian heard that he was going to go far away, he was not very happy at first, but felt that it was hard work. How can it be more comfortable than being happy and happy in the capital?But after thinking about it, Yangzhou has always been a well-known place of elegance, and even the Fireworks and Willow Alley is quite different from the one in the capital. It would be wonderful if I could go and see it.

He also thought about the fact that the dominatrix at home has always been very strict with him, and this trip to Yangzhou is far away from the dominatrix, so he can do whatever he wants?

Thinking of it this way, Jia Lian was no longer unhappy, and was even very excited and couldn't wait, so she immediately replied: "The grandson will definitely live up to the old lady's trust, so I will go back and ask Brother Feng to pack my luggage. Just wait at home with peace of mind, grandson will definitely take good care of the old lady's two darlings."

Seeing that he was so active, Mother Jia was very satisfied in her heart, she smiled and told him a few more words, and then told him to go back and clean up.

Wang Xifeng was leaning on the kang, and Ping'er was beating her legs. The master and servant were chatting and laughing, and suddenly Jia Lian came in with a happy face.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Hey, look at this, did you pick up money on the road or did your ancestors open a private treasury and ask you to pick it?"

"It's alright, alright, I haven't provoked you recently." Jia Lian sat down next to her, snatched her tea and gulped it down, saying, "Don't be idle, the old lady sent me to Yangzhou After picking up the two cousins, you hurry up and help me pack my luggage, and I'm leaving tomorrow."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help sneering when he heard the words, "I've never seen you be so active in ordering you to do something on weekdays, but this time it's strange, who got rid of your laziness?"

Jia Lian rolled his eyes, and said, "Look at what you said, the old lady has a life, dare I not?"

After all these years with Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng knew this man very well. To put it in a vulgar way, she knew what shit he wanted to shit as soon as his butt poked out.

"Then you have to thank the old lady for sending you such a beautiful job. Yangzhou is really a good place, but..." Wang Xifeng glanced coldly, and said lightly: "I can remind you, the old lady misses you. It's not a day or two for the two granddaughters, don't let me feel that the sky is too high once you leave, if you delay the old lady from seeing her granddaughter, let's see if the old lady will take care of you."

How could Jia Lian not know that she was afraid that she would go out to fool around and deliberately bring out the old lady to talk?

I was very irritable in my heart, and I couldn't wait to get out of the control of this dominatrix, but I said with a playful smile on my face: "My good grandma, just don't worry, I am doing business for the old lady." Yes, how dare you mess around? Besides, I already have such a lovely wife at home, I just wish I could stay with grandma all the time, so how could I hang around? It must have come back with wings.”

With such nonsense, even Ping'er would not believe him, let alone someone as shrewd as Wang Xifeng?

After hearing this, he spat at him, "Stop fooling me with your tricks, how can I not know what kind of virtue you are? I can't see you and I can't care about you when you are away from home, but you must be careful It’s fine if you don’t let me know, it’s up to you, if you really let me grab something, I’ll expose your skin.” After that, he got up and walked out of the room, probably to pack his luggage for him.

Ping'er glanced at Jia Lian, who had a bad face, and said, "Second Master does what he does, but don't mess around outside. Yangzhou is a prosperous place, and compared with the capital, it has a different flavor in all aspects... As long as I really angered grandma, I'm afraid the second master will be sad." After saying that, he followed her master's footsteps and went out.

Jia Lian became more and more annoyed, "It's the opposite, one or two dare to point at the nose of the master!" The man in the other family is the head of the family, and he keeps his own words. His house is fine, the women climbed onto his head one by one, is this still a human life?

Because Jia Mu was in a hurry, everyone had to pack up overnight and set off in a hurry the next morning.

As soon as the dominatrix left the house, Jia Lian suddenly felt that the sky was blue and the water was clear. Even the old woman was pleasing to the eye. Going to the local Fireworks and Willow Alley for entertainment, I feel that this day is really a fairy.

"Second Master, take it easy, how long will it take you to arrive in Yangzhou? The old lady is still waiting at home." Xing'er persuaded with a bitter face.

Jia Lian sneered, "Are you afraid that your grandma will beat you?"

"Since the second master knows grandma's temperament, it's still like this... Don't say it's the skin of a slave, second master, your skin will be exposed by grandma. Besides, we have indeed lost a lot of time on the road , if this continues, it’s not easy to explain to the old lady.”

"That's all, master just take it easy." I don't know whether it's because I'm afraid of the dominatrix at home or if I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to the old lady.

For the rest of the journey, Jia Lian finally became a little more honest. Although he still had to tease and hang out with some girls on the boat, he did not waste time.

On this day, Jia Lian and others finally arrived at the Yangzhou wharf, and Zhong Bo, the steward of the Lin family who had already been trusted, was waiting for him on the shore.

Originally, he didn't recognize Jia Lian, but when he saw the group of people who were all dressed in silk and satin and exuded a sense of wealth, he knew it, and immediately stepped forward.

"Dare to ask, but it's the second master Lian?"

Jia Lian nodded yes.

The smile on Uncle Zhong's face deepened, "The slave is Lin Jinzhong, the steward of Lin's mansion. The master knew that the second master Lian arrived today, so he sent the servant here to wait. The house has prepared a banquet for the second master Lian. Grandpa takes the wind and washes away the dust."

Knowing that he is the housekeeper of the Lin family and not an ordinary servant, and that he was even given the surname "Lin", he knew that this person must be the most useful confidant of the Lin family, so Jia Lian bowed hurriedly and said with a smile: "The housekeeper Lao Lin has been waiting for a long time. "

Jia Lian is used to being a slippery person. Although he can't write well, he is not stupid in his mind. In addition, the housework in Rongfu has always been taken care of by the husband and wife. They often walk outside and come into contact with many people of all kinds. After going there, I also developed a pair of "wisdom eyes". Knowing in my heart that a servant like Lin Butler took money as a reward, it would be a failure, so I simply became more polite and respectful.

Uncle Zhong repeatedly said, "Don't dare not dare", and invited Jia Lian to get into the carriage, and then ordered the servants behind him to help carry all the salutes into the carriage.

The Lin family's mansion is far less luxurious than the Rong Mansion, and the servants in the mansion don't wear gold and silver like the servants in the Rong Mansion. Therefore, when they entered the mansion, the eyes of the servants brought by Jia Lian couldn't help revealing There was a bit of contempt, and even a hint of arrogance when facing the servants of the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai is a genius who has been in the officialdom for half his life, how can he not see such a thing?He didn't show it on the face for a while, but he shook his head and sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that what his daughter said was true, everyone in the Rong Mansion really had two eyes of snobbery and a heart of wealth, and secretly rejoiced that he followed suit so early According to her daughter's thoughts, let her prepare for the pomp, otherwise, once she steps into the Rong Mansion, I'm afraid she will really be despised as a poor relative who comes to beat the autumn breeze.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai secretly decided to bring some more gold and silver to his daughter tomorrow, watching the servants of the Rong Mansion behave, I am afraid that they will not be so comfortable without money to manage their lives.

Fortunately, Jia Lian was not that shallow-sighted. The Lin's mansion looked simple at first glance, but whether it was the antiques in the house, tea sets, bowls and dishes, and other daily utensils, all of them were top-notch gadgets, which was enough to show that the Lin family was It's not poor at all, it's just that it doesn't like to make publicity, it's not like Rongfu's way of publicizing wealth and honor in the open.

Jia Lian couldn't help thinking that the old lady at home once said that the ancestors of the Lin family were the fifth lineage, and they were the family of Zhong Ding, but they were also a scholarly clan... He couldn't help but think to himself, this scholar's style is really particular about restraint.

Seeing the background of the Lin family, Jia Lian became more enthusiastic and respectful towards Lin Ruhai, shouting "Uncle" very affectionately, toasting frequently, and only drank until late at night until he was a little drunk before giving up.

Sister Lin Mohan and Lin Daiyu never attended the banquet, they just asked someone to prepare the hangover soup early, and then took a rest first.
