The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Since Lin Hai was injured, the matters under the jurisdiction of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials have been divided between the left and right servants. Everyone knows that Lin Hai has regained his life this time, and they are afraid that he will also retire from office. The position of Minister is equivalent to a vacancy.As for the candidates, according to the historical rules and the current family members, Jia Lian's appointment can be said to be a matter of everyone's expectations.

On the second day after Jia Lian galloped back to the capital, Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of the Six Palaces, personally brought his disciples and grandchildren to the Rongguo Mansion to pass the decree, and went directly to the second word of temporary generation, ordering Jia Lian to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and to quell the rebellion. For meritorious service, he was conferred the title of Bo Rong Enbo, his mother and grandmother both received edicts, and his father also received awards, and the plaque bestowed by the imperial pen has already been handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make it.

Because of Yang Yuan's trust, Xia Shou Zhong's official prestige is growing day by day, and now most of them send his disciples and grandchildren to handle errands, and he will not go out of the palace to deliver the decree in person.Today, not only did he come in person, but after announcing the decree, he helped Jia Lian get up affectionately, and went to Rongxi hall with him to have tea.

Received the title of first-class minister, and was promoted to earl, such a great kindness and favor, Jia Lian's face was just ordinary happy, and after receiving the decree, he looked as usual with Xia Shouzhong's courteous entertainment. Obviously, he had already got it when he met the saint in the palace. Got the news.The rest of the people in the mansion were really shocked by these two edicts, and when they got up, they were a little dazed. It was not until Jia Lian and Xia Shouzhong entered the room one after the other to drink tea that Jia's mother suddenly came back to her senses and wept with joy. , Jia Amnesty also happily shouted that the whole house will be rewarded.

Mrs. Xing was a little dissatisfied, avoiding people muttering something, "I knew it early in the morning, but I didn't know to tell the family, and we were not prepared for the trouble." Unfortunately, she was too careless in her life, and she turned her head and let people know about it. , and had another big meal.After Jiamu finished scolding, she sent someone to spread the word, saying that whoever dared to chew the second master's tongue, the mansion would not be able to tolerate it, and Mrs. Xing was so ashamed that she was sick for several days and refused to go out.

On the day when Jia Lian was promoted again, all the mansions of his colleagues and friends sent gifts, and even the mothers of several princes also sent congratulatory gifts in order to thank them for saving lives during the palace chaos. Yingchun and others have asked Empress Jia Lian also generously accepted them, and made a book for registration. Jia Lian presented the booklet to the imperial court in a playful way when she turned around, and never left a word for herself.

On the second day of Jia Lian's promotion, Yan Ran, He Wei'an, Liu Xianglian and others who were also established during the palace chaos were also rewarded for their meritorious deeds. Yin Feng.Most of these people had good friends with Jia Lian in the first place, and the posts about banquets were lined up until two months later.

Jia Lian had just taken over the position of Minister, and it was the time when the official duties were complicated, and there were various banquets to attend, so he was so busy that he never touched the ground.Mother Jia and the others were considerate of his fatigue, so they only invited him to see the seats on the list for their banquet, and didn't let him worry about the rest.

Seeing that the relationship between the two parties was still moderate, Jia's mother picked an afternoon when Jia Lian was resting in the mansion, sent a mandarin duck to invite him to the upper room politely, and asked Jia Lian's diet and daily life kindly.Jia Lian knew that the mansion was calm these days thanks to Mother Jia's presence in the back house, and Daiyu would have to rely on Mother Jia to suppress Mrs. Xing when she married, so she was extra respectful, feeling that Mother Jia had something to say. After speaking, he took the initiative to pass the words.

"The grandson is busy all day long, and he can't be filial to the old lady every day. He came back last night and heard that the old lady's food was not delicious, and he didn't have time to ask. He was really ashamed. If there is anything wrong with the old lady, I will definitely You have to tell your grandson, so that your grandson can show some filial piety."

Jia's mother also praised the sweetness of the fresh green stem rice from the kitchen yesterday. She used half a bowl more and ate half a hawthorn pill before she could eat and sleep peacefully. But when Jia Lian said this, she nodded kindly and showed her Slightly sad, he sighed softly.

However, what she originally wanted to say was on the lips, and she still couldn't figure out how easy Jia Lian could talk at the moment, so she put it down and didn't mention it, and only explored the way with another matter.

"You must have heard about your Aunt Xue's Jiabao girl. Originally, this is a relative of yours. You have already helped that Brother Pan for the sake of my old woman. It is already the most benevolent, I don't So I can talk to you about their family again, but you also know that this girl's family will marry for a lifetime, and she can't be careless. Although Bao girl is not from our family, she grew up so big in front of me. I couldn't bear it and wanted to help Let me ask you, the Xia family, really must be Bao girl?"

Making friends with eunuchs, especially the eunuchs trusted by His Majesty, or at least not making enemies, is something that all the aristocratic families in the capital are doing, but they are unwilling to disclose it by coincidence, so Jia Lian never said how his relationship with Xia Shouzhong was. , Mother Jia never asked, everyone tacitly.

Jia's mother felt that Xue Baochai's appearance was wronged by marrying the master of the Xia family, and she was not sure how to handle the matter, so she didn't reach out rashly, but only asked Jia Lian for the pity in her heart.

Xia Shouzhong's nephew, Xia Heng, begged for Xue Baochai. Jia Lian had already heard about it from his subordinates. Xia Shouzhong also tried his words, and wanted to see his attitude.

In all honesty, Jia Lian felt that with Xue Baochai's own appearance, talent, sentiment and character, it would be more appropriate for the Wang family to decide to send her into the palace, and it might even be more suitable than Wang Xifeng's temperament. Really wronged.But Xue's family has rotted like that, Xue Pan is extremely disappointing, Xue Baochai is going to be an old girl, there is no better candidate for a while, and he doesn't know the Xue family's own intentions, so he didn't say much , just a little beating, please don't force the Xia family with power, don't get married and don't make enemies.

When Jia's mother asked, Jia Lian thought for a while before opening his mouth: "I don't know what Aunt Xue's place means? I still have some thin noodles outside. If Auntie and they really don't want it, there is no one in Xia's family who does not drink water and press his head forcibly." The truth is that their marriages are irrelevant, and there will be no additional disasters. But the younger sister of the Xue family is not too young, it is not easy for a girl in this world, and it is not easy to procrastinate for a long time."

When Jia Lian said this, Jia's mother understood what he meant.The Xia family can see that it is not difficult for the Xue family in his face, but after rejecting the Xia family, Xue Baochai's life will not be guaranteed by Jia Lian, it all depends on her own fortune.

Having said this, Jia's mother put down the teacup, and she didn't hide her intention anymore: "You probably also heard the rumor that the second wife intends to marry Baoyu and hire Baoyu as his wife, but I don't agree with this matter." If you are willing, now that something about Xia's family has happened again, Baoyu's naive nature is even more unacceptable. However, I have someone in my heart who I want to discuss with you, and that is the Prince of Beijing."

Hearing what Jia Mu said was so solemn, Jia Lian couldn't help sitting up straight, and when he heard the honorary title of King of Beijing, he suddenly smiled, but the smile faded before his eyes, and asked calmly: "But someone handed it to the old lady. What's the matter? Even if Wang Yuanfei of Beijing is gone, and Shui Rong will marry ten or eight more, the Xue family's family status will be considered low."

Jia's mother knew that many old lords in Beijing began to flatter her again, and it was all thanks to her grandson. Even though she was still a little complacent, seeing Jia Lian's expression was not right, she couldn't help but feel nervous, and thought about it carefully. But he was a little uncertain.She was silent for a long while before she said: "I'm a little uncertain about who said it, and I'm afraid I'll criticize my relatives. But if I'm willing to let Bao girl recognize a god-in-law in our house, the Beijing Prince's Mansion is willing. .”

Jia Lian didn't go into the details of what was involved, left and right were just a good word, so he nodded noncommittally, and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence that the princess went there, it can be seen that the luck of the natal family is not good, and the whole family is gone. It's because I was too frightened that I didn't pick it up. Fortunately, all the girls in our family have agreed to go out, otherwise it would be really troublesome."

Since the last generation, Prince Beijing's mansion has been silent in the court, but his heart is not small. He is confused with King Zhongshun. Concubine Yuan's family has also participated in this palace chaos. When they free up their hands, the title of King Beijing It's unknown if he can keep it. It's really urgent to go to the doctor right now, but there is no one who is willing to help.It's just that Jia Lian didn't expect that the Beijing Prince's Mansion was no longer in this category.

Mother Jia was secretly delighted to have another noble family, but after listening to it, she really broke out in a cold sweat.The leader of the rebellion and his party members have already been imprisoned, and the Beijing Palace has been calm and there has been no news at all. She was careless and almost killed the whole family.

There was no need for Jia Lian to say anything, Mother Jia dismissed the idea and waved her hands again and again: "Since this is the case, it can be seen that the feng shui of the palace is not good, and Bao girl can't fill it in. Otherwise, I won't hurt you, Aunt Xue and the others to death in the future."

Seeing that Jia's mother understood the pros and cons, Jia Lian smiled good-naturedly and nodded in agreement: "That's exactly what the old lady said. Anyway, there is me at the other end of Xia's house. Aunt Xue doesn't have to worry too much. She has to do it for the Xue family. My sister is very picky. But in my opinion, the Xia family has a bad reputation, but there are some benefits inside."

Not to mention money, with Xue Pan's personality, the ability to cause trouble is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is Xia's identity and Xia Heng's temperament that can firmly convince him.Although it was a bit embarrassing for my brother-in-law to send my eldest brother-in-law to prison, but when the time comes, it will be safe and sound, and there will be no more family ruin, which is a blessing.

Mother Jia had no other choice, and she sighed to Jia Lian a few more times, and got Jia Lian's promise that the Xia family would not bully the orphans and widows of the Xue family, so she put the matter aside and talked about her while looking at Jia Lian's expression. The thing that was really on my mind.

"You have finally decided to spend your life forever, and you are still Miss Yu from your aunt's family. I am really happy for you." Jia's mother paused for a while, seeing that Jia Lian smiled a little when she heard this, and her mouth felt a little bit bitter. , or bite the bullet and continued: "But you have been refusing to get married for so many years. I am always afraid that you have other thoughts in your heart. You also know that Yu'er is your aunt's heart, and I love her very much. I'm not afraid that you will be annoyed, it's really only a little worse than Baoyu, if you treat Yu'er poorly, I will be ashamed to see that your aunt is still second, and these people's hearts are really going to be ripped out."

Today, Jia Lian has always been gentle and polite, and Jia's mother insisted on saying all these words. Seeing that Jia Lian didn't look very upset after she finished speaking, she took a deep breath and added a few words: "It's important that your heirs last, but you In the current situation, even if you marry a girl from a small family, there is no hindrance, I love you, and I love you, Sister Lin, so if you want to blame, blame me."

Being human in two lives, the previous life was still the same. Jia Lian did take a lot of light on the relationship between men and women, but he didn't want to attract such speculation.

"The old lady has a kind heart, why would my grandson blame you," stood up sincerely and bowed to Mother Jia, Jia Lian continued gently, and for the first time in several years looked at Mother Jia with admiring and respectful eyes: " But the old lady is too worried, and the grandson doesn't have any other thoughts, it's just that these things were taken lightly before, and in the future, she will treat Yu'er like pearls and treasures."
