The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Liu Xianglian was born with a chivalrous spirit and courage, and was born rebellious. In his eyes, the etiquette and rules that others abide by tremblingly are nothing but dung, because he thinks that people's behavior is often difficult for the world.It was fine when his parents Gaotang was there, but since his parents died, he lost his restraint. Because of his handsome and romantic nature and his love of acting on stage, I don't know how many troubles have happened in Beijing these years. If he dared to treat him too slowly, he might have already been caught by others.

Coincidentally, not long after Jia Lian went to the southeast, Liu Xianglian accidentally had a dispute with another dude from another family, and the two sides fought with sticks and fists.In order not to implicate others, he packed a package with the help of his friend Feng Ziying and others, and traveled southward from Beijing, riding a horse with a sword, admiring flowers and willows all the way, and even arrived near Quanzhou Port, where he encountered several small and big scenes. riots.

Some of them were pirates and Japanese pirates guarding the chaotic frontier defense and went ashore to take advantage of the fire, and some were rebels who were stubbornly resisting.Liu Xianglian was originally a hot-blooded young man, how could he see them attacking the unarmed people, so they naturally drew their swords to face each other. After a fierce battle, she met several soldiers under Jia Lian's command. Afterwards, they killed the enemy and defended the people together, and gradually became irreversible.

Liu Xianglian is not from the military, but she is more valiant than ordinary soldiers in killing the enemy, so she was naturally recommended.After Yan Ran saw it, he saw that he was from the capital city and was also a child of everyone, so he specifically mentioned something to Jia Lian. Jia Lian was also taken aback. He didn't expect to meet an old friend here, so after making some arrangements, he invited him to have a drink together. one time.

The age difference between the two is not too big, and there are many interesting and old news about the capital, and they soon became brothers. Jia Lian mentioned the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds, intending to recruit Liu Xianglian under his command, and first served as a school captain in the southeast to accumulate some merits. , Wait a few years before returning to Beijing with him to find another job.

Liu Xianglian also has a great ambition to make great achievements in her heart, but she doesn't like reading, and she is impatient to be flattered and flattered, so she has been unable to achieve high levels and low levels for so many years.It can be said that Jia Lian's words hit his heart, so he agreed on the spot, took the initiative to drink three bowls of good wine to express his gratitude, and the next day he brought his bundle and belongings to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was originally guilty of messing up the mandarin ducks in her previous life, which caused Liu Xianglian to leave her family. She felt that she was repaying her kindness and revenge, and she intended to make up for one or two. They could all be relieved by Jia Lian, and not long after, Liu Xianglian really regarded Jia Lian as her elder brother with a different surname, and when she talked about marriage in a joke, she asked Jia Lian to make the decision and choose a beautiful wife for him.

Hearing such a sentence that was verbatim from the previous life, Jia Lian almost choked to death on the tea in his hand, coughed for a long time, panicked so much that the guards outside the courtyard came in to check, and finally suppressed it.After finally relieving his cough, Jia Lian took Liu Xianglian's hand first, swearing to God that he would find a good wife for him and take care of the family business.

In fact, Liu Xianglian just blurted out a sentence on impulse, not wanting Jia Lian to be so solemn, so he also solemnly bowed to Jia Lian, asking him to take care of him, the two of them had reached a serious agreement on the matter.

Just as Jia Lian made up his mind that he must choose a dignified lady as his wife for Liu Xianglian, before he finished writing the letter asking Jia Min to look on her behalf, he received a message from Xing'er, telling Mrs. Wang that she wanted to marry Tanchun indiscriminately. And how they are going to respond.

Although he had never met his cousin Tanchun in two lifetimes combined, he couldn't bear to be a girl who was angered for no reason and went to fill that fire pit, plus the old grievances with Mrs. Wang, and the love for Xing'er. The way he did it was admirable, and then he naturally thought of Yingchun and others' evaluation of Tanchun, saying that he is a very smart and clever person, even if he has a slight deficiency, his flaws are not concealed.Beautiful and talented, strong-tempered and capable of running a family, isn't this the woman Liu Xianglian likes?

As far as Yu Tanchun is concerned, even if Mrs. Wang's plan fails this time, she will find another filthy person to make up for it, and she will never find a good and affordable marriage for her. Mrs. Wang has said it, and it is not easy for others to come forward directly.Comparing the two, although Liu Xianglian's family is in decline, she still has a small official position at the moment, and she can be called a prodigal son.

After making up his mind, Jia Lian looked at Kong'er and talked to Liu Xianglian alone. He not only said that Tanchun was good, but also briefly talked about the second room of Rongguo Mansion, and asked Liu Xianglian to weigh it up and see if he would like it. Get married.

How many years have the family affairs of the Ningrong Second Mansion been in the capital, Liu Xianglian naturally has heard of it, but he is not a pedantic, bluntly said that he is a man, as long as the future wife is of good character, the family members next to him are good. What kind of errand has nothing to do with the girl.Hearing what he said, Jia Lian knew he was willing, took the Mandarin Duck Sword presented by him with both hands as a token, and sent it to Beijing with an appropriate person.

Even though Jia Lian's letter rewarded him for his neatness and generous rewards, Xing'er was really not happy about taking on such an errand.The key point is that although Liu Xianglian has an official position, he is a military commander. Jia Zheng prefers literature, so it is not the right way at first glance, and things are very difficult.

Fortunately, Xing'er had a good eye and knew how to prescribe the right medicine. He managed to get on the line with Jia Zheng's trustworthy retainer and lured him with a lot of money. Sure enough, the retainer accepted the conversation and agreed to go to Jia Zheng to talk about marriage. It didn't take long to coax Jia Zheng into writing a marriage certificate.

It wasn't until the marriage certificates were sent to the yamen for registration and the Liu family's gift was sent to Rongxi Hall that Mrs. Wang, who was still hesitating among several families, knew that Jia Zheng had promised Tanchun, and her face was livid with anger. Pinching the arm of Zhou Rui's family, he ordered her to find out which family Jia Zheng had promised.

Mrs. Wang couldn't go up and down in one breath. She searched for various names in Rongxi Hall to torture Aunt Zhao and others. Mother Jia felt very uncomfortable. , even the mother-in-law from Liu's family who came to greet her refused to see her. She reasoned that she had a headache, so she just let Yuanyang go out and say a few words and it was over.

Only Tanchun, who had waited hard for many days, was finally completely relieved, and when he gently stroked the Yuanyang sword wrapped in red silk with his palm, he also felt a little more hopeful.A few days ago, when Wang's daughter-in-law came to pay her respects, she brought the sword in a painting scroll, and sent word to Mr. Liu's family, asking her if she would like it.Tanchun knew that it was Jia Lian who found a way out for her, she was very grateful in her heart, and after thinking about it for a while, she didn't care about being shy, so she nodded on the spot, and now she finally passed the way.

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, Tanchun's engagement is always a great joy. The elders all rewarded things according to their status, and the sisters also came to congratulate. Hearing the concubines talking about the rich congratulatory ceremony given by the wife and grandma to the third daughter of Rongfu, I feel very uncomfortable.

It's not that Jia Zhen loves the little money.The family property in Ning Mansion is larger than that of Rong Mansion, and the number of people down the generations is much smaller than that of Rong Mansion, so the expenses are much smaller, and Jia Zhen doesn't think of a mere congratulatory gift.His headache is the marriage of his sister-in-law, Third Sister You.

Jia Zhen is a lustful person. After her remarriage, she was greedy for You Shi's fresh and good looks and once doted on her for a while, but within two years she lost her interest and left it behind.Later, the only son Jia Rong married his wife, Zhen Shi. Jia Zhen also coveted her daughter-in-law's beauty, but the Zhen family was very powerful, and the family members who accompanied the house would not say anything, and the Zhen family always guarded against him like a thief. Jia Zhen tried a few times He couldn't get things done even if he went back, and seeing that it was not easy to force it in the face of the Zhen family, he let go.

Zhen's refusal to submit, it didn't take long for Jia Zhen to set her sights on You's natal younger sister who often came to Ningguo Mansion to fight the autumn wind, and coaxed both You's second sister and You's third sister into her hands.Not wanting that the older the two sisters are, the second sister is more gentle and gentle, but the third sister starts to quarrel endlessly, and Mrs. You still wants Jia Zhenming to accept one of them back in a fair manner, and every time Jia Zhen is disappointed, she starts marrying the third sister Out of mind.

Jia Zhen is the most ruthless, since he had this heart, he directly said the words to Third Sister You's face.The second sister You's face changed when she heard that, and she was trying to comfort her younger sister, but she didn't expect that the third sister You also had a good heart, and she had a good man in her heart, so she generously asked Jia Zhen to talk to Liu Xianglian for her. marriage.

As soon as she heard that the remaining ones that were accepted were all selected, Jia Zhen had no choice but to agree immediately, and sent someone to look for Liu Xianglian when she turned around. It was only because Liu Xianglian was not in the capital that she couldn't find her for a long time. People, they can only endure Third Sister You for a few more days.

Now that she finally got the news of Liu Xianglian, but she was engaged to a girl from Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhen really beat her chest and stamped her feet in annoyance.One is a young mistress who has lost her chastity in a dilapidated family, and the other is a lady from a noble family. As long as men in this world are not stupid, they should know which one to choose.Third Sister You still wants to be a wife, but doesn't she want to fall into his hands?

The idea of ​​Jia Zhen and the Youshi sisters is broken, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Zhen's grandma Youshi and Xiaorong's grandma Zhen are very clear about it, so they just don't talk about it.Zhen's business has nothing to do with him, and he can still listen to the excitement, but Youshi always hates bleeding in his heart, and only because he is afraid of Jia Zhen, he has to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and keeps silent.

Now that she heard that Third Sister You couldn't marry the sweetheart of her dreams, and Jia Zhen was so annoyed that she was a little lazy to see her sisters, Youshi finally braced herself and acted like the eldest sister.She picked three or two passable ones from the small official's family attached to the Ning Mansion, and asked someone to go to Jia Zhen and Mrs. You and tell them that she wanted to choose a good match for Third Sister You.

Third Sister You was naturally unwilling, although those people looked respectable, they couldn't compare to Liu Xianglian.But Mrs. You is old and mature, she sees it much more clearly than her, and no matter how she makes troubles, she picks out a man from a wealthy family who has no elders, and licks her face to ask Jia Zhenyou to agree.

Jia Zhen was naturally happy that Mrs. You was so kind, and not only helped to settle the marriage, but also gave Third Sister You an extra 200 taels of silver as a dowry.As for Second Sister You, she still had a marriage contract with Zhang's family friend, so she had no other choice for a while, so she continued to live with her mother in a small courtyard arranged by Jia Zhen.
