The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Although Rong Mansion's wedding banquet today was grand, after the eunuch Xia Shouzhong, the Chief of the Six Palaces who came to watch the ceremony on Yang Yuan's behalf, and several princes and relatives returned to the palace, most of the guests got up and said goodbye before holding the lamps.It's not that Jia Lian's popularity in the court is not good, otherwise it would not be necessary for Ningrong and Rongfu to hold a banquet together today. In fact, it is to discuss friendship with him in the same generation. Usually wanton frolicking, and now he has elders and children who are about the same age as him, so he can't let go of his hands and feet, so he can only socialize affectionately and give up.

As for the fiercest teenage boy Erlang who always makes trouble at wedding banquets, they are all younger than Jia Lian, not to mention, and most of them are afraid of Jia Lian because of his father and grandfather's advice for many years.Especially the few who took the lead in the military post, they had a lot of beatings before they came, and their legs were a little weak when they saw Jia Lian's half-smiling but meaningful eyes, how could they dare to make a mistake.

It's not easy for the guests to force Jia Lian to drink too much. Jia Yun and others who were with Jia Lian blocked the wine and tried their best. He didn't take any medicine, but only drank a bowl of decoction to relieve the hangover, and stood at the door with a bright red face to see off the guests.

When the guests from outside dispersed, Jia Zhen and other cousins ​​of the same generation wanted to drag Jia Lian to have a drink, but when they looked back, there was no sign of Jia Lian?After asking again, only the young servant nodded and bowed and said that the second master Lian had already been served by someone to return to Rongfu from the corner gate, and he left a message saying that people don't have to wait for him anymore.

Jia Zhen and the others couldn't help laughing and scolding, Jia Zhen was more interested in showing off her patriarch's prestige, but Jia Lian, the rightful lord, was not around, and the people who were close to him disappeared, these people were meaningless after all, and soon dispersed up.

When Jia Lian returned to Rongxi hall, daughter-in-law Xing and daughter-in-law Wang were bringing some noodles to Daiyu.Nine dishes and nine bowls, the number is auspicious for a long time, but the dishes are not the usual ones in the ordinary wedding room, but the authentic ones prepared by a few cooks in the kitchen of Rongxi Hall. Yangcai, look good in color and fragrance, all of them are warm and nourishing dishes.

Such caring and meticulous, Daiyu unconsciously lost her shyness when she first arrived. After thinking about it for a while, she asked softly who was next to the second master at this moment, and asked people to find out what happened to the second master. Mo He had to eat too much wine on an empty stomach, and ordered someone to boil some more spleen-warming soup for the second master to use when he came back.

Every time Daiyu said something, Xing's daughter-in-law and Wang's daughter-in-law answered yes with low eyebrows, showing great respect for Daiyu, but when it came to the last one, Wang's daughter-in-law hadn't had time to report it to today. The kitchen prepared several kinds of soup for Daiyu to choose, and when the door of the wedding room opened, Jia Lian pushed the door open with a smile and entered.

Madam Xi and the daughters-in-law who were serving in the room today were all from the past. When they saw Jia Lian opening the door to look at them, they came to their senses. By the way, they greeted a few unmarried maids and retreated together. , close the door and stay far away, and Wang's daughter-in-law personally took the two girls to the stove to boil hot water.

Just as Daiyu was more at ease, she came back when she didn't want Jia Lian. Her peach blossom eyes were only looking at her, which made Daiyu flustered and flustered.

Jia Lian's eyes couldn't help lingering for a while on Daiyu's white neck exposed between her crow-like black hair, her throat moved slightly, and after struggling for a while, she put on a gentle smile again, stepped forward and took Daiyu's hand, People are brought to the table.

"Forget it's time for you to pass on the food, so I thought of a way to get rid of people and come back. How about we use some together? I'm afraid you haven't had a good meal since yesterday, so I let the stove cook some hometown food. I don’t know if the food suits your taste or not, so let’s try it first.”

As he said that, Jia Lian used the public chopsticks to pick up a chopstick of tender fish for Daiyu, and another chopstick of tofu, and then picked up an empty bowl and picked out vegetables to eat.

Daiyu was already so ashamed that her whole body was a little stiff. Hearing that Jia Lian was so carefree and full of tenderness and love, she also felt a little better in her heart. It is the serving chopsticks and the bowl where the spoons are used by the girls when serving dishes.

Seeing that Daiyu hesitated to speak, Jia Lian hurriedly swallowed all the rice in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I'm not very particular in ordinary times, but I surprised you. I think the girl stays here, how many times?" Looking at it with both eyes, you are always a little uncomfortable, why don't you tell them to retreat, we two can eat at ease. It's just bowls and chopsticks, and I don't even need them when I'm on an errand outside."

It will take some time for the girl and mother-in-law to fetch the table and chopsticks. Jia Lian doesn't want to leave some irrelevant people here to block the eyes.

It's just that what he said was so sincere, Daiyu's eyes moved slightly, she lowered her head and put a piece of crystal meat in a bowl for Jia Lian before eating. Jia Lian was so happy that she filled another bowl of soup for Daiyu. Yin Yin persuaded her to use it, and there was a back and forth between meals, with tenderness and sweetness, her cheeks flushed at some point.

After eating, Daiyu's heart became a little confused for some reason, and she lowered her head again, not daring to look at anyone. Jia Lian sighed inwardly, her face was watertight, so she took Daiyu to drink the Hebei wine. He took her to sit in front of the dressing table facing the mirror, and combed out the soft horns that he had prepared earlier.

Daiyu was puzzled, Jia Lian stood behind her and chuckled, untied the loosely tied hair band on her head with one hand, picked up the comb and straightened her hair carefully: "Today, the maids will wait for you to wash your hair. Is it later than usual? My hair is not dry yet, and I have a headache after sleeping carefully. Besides, the phoenix crown is so heavy today, and your hair is a little smooth, so you can feel better."

No matter if it was the maid or nanny that Daiyu married, or the servants who could serve in this Rongxi hall, whoever was not a human being, the job of wiping hair has long been rushed to do it.But at this moment, Jia Lian combed her hair appropriately, which really made Daiyu feel a little warm in her heart, and her heart, which had been wandering for a day, fell to the ground, and she became a little dizzy.

Jia Lian had been distracted by looking at the Western-style glass mirror, so he naturally took in Daiyu's drowsiness which was revealed in a comfortable expression. After thinking about it for a while, he remained calm and did not mention going to bed. Instead, he talked about the day of marriage. What happened to you: "You are jolting a lot in the sedan chair today? Because we left earlier than the old ladies thought, we can only walk slowly on the road because of the time. I'm afraid I'll tire you out."

Although Daiyu was drowsy, she turned her face away when she heard this, cast a sidelong glance at Jia Lian from the mirror, and said angrily, "You still said that. Before you stopped Mr. He like that, grandma and the others laughed stiffly." Yes, you just let people in, but today is a good time, Brother Zhang feels wronged by bullying people like that, and he will ignore you in the future."

The Lin family has no close children, and Daiyu's only younger brother, Lin Zhang, is still a half-grown child. Most of the people blocking the door at the Lin family today are sons of relatives who used to help.Lin Zhang originally wanted to make things difficult for Jia Lian, but he didn't think that Jia Lian would bribe the insider, and the insider and the outsider broke in, making him so angry that tears would come out. At that time, there was a commotion.

Having been exposed by his sweet wife, Jia Lian only smiled, and deftly tied Daiyu's hair in a bun, and continued with deep meaning: "Zhang'er is still young, how can he understand his brother-in-law and my heart? It's really my fault to say that I was so anxious to pick you up, but I didn't have a suitable person to accompany you, making you wait for me for half a day. Rong'er wanted to bring him and his nephew's son to us and get out of here Bed, nephew and daughter-in-law can also talk to you, but their family is so incompetent, how can they come here to spoil the fragrance of books here."

At the end, Jia Lian's hot palms had already embraced Daiyu's waist, and secretly hugged her in her arms, hugging each other and walking towards the couch, coaxing in a low voice: "It's getting late at night. , you are so tired again, let's rest first."

But the red luan tent, the mandarin duck quilt, the crow's hair and snow skin, who can sleep peacefully, will have to make trouble until it is really late at night, and Jia Lian will come out in his clothes to ask for water.

Jia Lian looked very satisfied, the dowry mother of the Lin family watched carefully for a long while but didn't see her own girl, so she must have the courage to step forward to persuade her.Before Daiyu got married, Jia Min called the two nuns to her side to give them some advice, fearing that Daiyu would be weak and Jia Lian would not know the seriousness.

Hearing the old nanny's hesitant persuasion, Jia Lian was not angry, just rolled his eyes in a foolish manner, and said perfunctorily: "After a day of tiring, this mother should go to rest early, and she will serve your grandma tomorrow. Besides, my daughter-in-law, of course, I love you more than you."
