The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Since parting ways with the Nan'an Palace, Jia Lian has changed from the quietness of reading and enjoying the scenery in the cabin a few days ago, and almost every time he arrives at a larger pier, he leads Wang'er, who is still injured, out of bed. Come back smelling of alcohol.

At first, there were a few old servants who had been instructed by Jia's mother to inquire about the whereabouts of one or two Jialians, but they were entertained by Xing'er who stayed behind with good wine and meat. After eating yellow soup, how can you still remember what the old lady meant before you left?Seeing that Jia Lian is very talkative, he doesn't care whether everyone is on duty on time, but there are some bold people who start to gamble all night and fall asleep during the day, so they have no time to pay attention to the movements of Jia Lian's master and servant.

The men outside became more and more absurd, and within a few days the women guarding inside also became addicted to gambling, eating and drinking, and the two nuns from the Sixth Prince's place inadvertently flirted with each other, and they were also in the cabin Be happy, even if a thunder falls from the sky, it may not bring your soul back.

Before the boat left the border of Shandong, all the people who got off the boat lost their dignity. Only Jia Lian's close personal Xing'er, Wang'er and the two nuns brought back from the outside couldn't go to the table because they didn't have much capital, and they still worked hard without complaint. Duty, from time to time, I have to beat and urge the boatmen to do their best, so busy.

Before leaving Jining Mansion, Jia Lian suddenly brought back a team of newly hired bodyguards from outside. He only said that they were going south together as guards, and then led Wang'er and the bodyguard off the boat.

Chang Sui, the boy in the boat, was dumbfounded and anxious for a long time, until the sunset was full, and then went to Xing'er to talk to the group of bodyguards with hot food and wine.Ask yourself, this group of people is really outrageous these days, and the second master has a lot of clothes and food. If you recently turned your face because everyone didn't serve you wholeheartedly, and everyone's face is ugly, you have to try to make up for it. Fan, so as not to go back to eat and hang up.

This time Xing'er wasn't so easy to talk to, and after whetting their appetites for a long time, he spit out in a vague, half-truthful way, saying that the head of the bodyguard had never met the second master in the tavern. Not only did they lose their temper, but they were going to Yangzhou, so they simply invited them to board the boat together, so as to be companions on the road.

Xing'er made the point clear, some of the bodyguards over there were half-drunk and laughed wildly, and with a few words he sold his head of bodyguards to the new owner: "They're all good people of Miss Jiaojiao. , but huddled in one place again, the one who doesn’t do anything is probably not a bastard, and he is not acquainted with each other, but he really became half brothers.”

After inquiring and summarizing, the leaders of the servants thought they knew everything, put their hearts back in their stomachs, and started to talk about the master.

It's strange that the second master of Dao Lian always has a smell of fat and powder on his body when he comes back these few days. He actually found such a happy place, and finally brought the wine and meat brothers on board to manage the food and drink. It's not like a fat sheep.

I don't know how the elder master is so fickle and greedy for money, how he is willing to prepare so many private expenses for the second master Lian.I just feel sorry for these slaves, who have served so long with all their heart, because when they came out, the cash given by the old lady was not enough, so they couldn't feel comfortable.Second Master Lian didn't care about these old servants at all, he only cared about his own happiness!

But after one night, Chang Sui, the ten or twenty young men on board, also divided into two groups.Those who are a little more honest, still remember their duties, while eating wine and playing money, they are also a little worried, fearing that something will happen in the future, while others are itchy, and after a few days, they start to make friends with the nearby ships. The Hua Niang who waited for the secret door business flirted with each other, and from time to time tried to find a way to achieve good things.

This is why after the old Duke left, Mother Jia made the decision to release all the soldiers who had served the old Duke.Otherwise, as long as the old man went to the battlefield with the old man, how could he not recognize that the walking, sitting and lying of the pair of bodyguards is the way of the army?This is really taking the phoenix as a bald chicken.

No matter what the chaos on the ship is like, the servants are not dedicated to serving them, as long as no one steals the locked gift for the Lin family in the cabin, and no one comes to mess around in his own cabin, Jia Lian just doesn't know. There is no time to come back except when sailing.After these servants became more and more ugly, Jia Lian also stayed outside directly for a day or two.

Although the Sixth Prince has not been able to go to Beijing in recent years, relying on the underprivileged officials under his cultivation, he can be regarded as a little powerful in Shandong and Liangjiang. There are also various shops and Zhuangzi all the way from the vicinity of the capital to the important town of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.

Previously, Jia Lian only had a peek at the facts from the books. This time, he walked along the road, saw the prosperous scenes of various places with his own eyes, and talked privately with officials and shopkeepers from all over the place. Only then did he really understand the great cause of the Sixth Prince.In addition, since Jining Mansion, he has been assisted by a group of royal private soldiers who pretended to be bodyguards, and went all the way south to settle accounts and buy properties. Many plans that he had in his heart were implemented one by one, and he felt even more emotional and full of pride.

As for those domestic servants who steal, rape and play tricks, Jia Lian just begged them not to make trouble. As for whether to serve or not, what did he do in his previous life?It's just food, clothing and washing, and I don't care about it at all.For a while, it was another kind of relationship between master and servant.

When they entered the border of Jiangsu and the boat was moored in Huai'an, half of Jia Lian's money with him before his departure had been turned into properties along the canal. The big salt merchants in Yangzhou were probably surprised when they saw it.

Yan Ran, who was disguised as a bodyguard, didn't think that Jia Lian, a prodigal son from a duke's mansion, could be so capable. In the end, it was an eye-opener. With Jia Lian's initiative to get close, the relationship between the two can be called harmonious, Yan Ran He and a group of brothers even gave Jia Lian the nickname "Death Wants Money".

Jia Lian laughed it off, and acquiesced to such a name, jokingly mentioned Huai'an scenery, saying that he wanted to set up a table in Huai'an mansion, to thank all the brothers for escorting them all the way, and it was also a farewell banquet.

This was also discussed in Beijing.After Huai'an, the Jia family's fleet will go straight to Yangzhou Mansion to visit Lin Yushi's family. How can Lin Hai not recognize the private soldiers of the royal mansion.Even if Linhai is avoided, Yangzhou is a tax-heavy place, and the Yansi Yamen is also located here. There are so many eyeliners inside and outside the city.Therefore, as soon as they enter Huai'an, this group of people will go ashore and leave.

Finding a secluded small courtyard of Fengyue Pavilion and having a good meal and wine, Jia Lian came out with a box in both hands, and bluntly said that half of it was for the brothers' expenses, and the other half would ask Yan Ran and others to help him a little. For him, the "precious" Western things prepared on the road before were invited to be eaten by Nan'an Shizi at a high price.

The things are complete, and the cover has already been set up. Now the only thing missing is the helper Bo invites you into the urn.

Now Yan Ran also intends to make friends with Jia Lian, so it is not a problem to cheat Lao Shizi, who is not his own, with a different surname Wang Shizi, and he agrees with a smile, and leads many brothers to pour Jia Lian's wine, and the quarrel lasts until midnight After they left, Jia Lian didn't go back to the boat, just drank a cup of sober tea and found a random room in the yard to rest.

After returning to the boat early the next morning, Jia Lian ordered his men to set sail directly, and followed the wind and water to the wharf of Yangzhou City.

The boat from Rongguo Mansion had just docked, and the steward of the Lin family who had been counting the days and waiting at the pier hurriedly asked the servants to drive over the horses and horses parked not far away, straightened his clothes and hats, and greeted them personally. The kid who was fairly skilled in equestrianism rode on his horse and ran all the way back to the city to report the news.

When the steward of the Lin family paid a visit to Jia Lian, the servants of the two families loaded the earthen gifts they had brought into the car in batches. Lin Hai, who was handling official business in the Yansi yamen, and Jia Min, who was handling family affairs in the back house, both received the letter. Son.
