The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

In the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, because Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were suspicious of the girl in Jia Zhu's room, Jia Lian didn't know how many incidents happened out of thin air.

Since Lin Hai took the initiative to take over Jia Lian's future life that day, Jia Lian's schoolwork has become several times heavier than before.

According to Lin Hai's words, since he has already made a bet, he will naturally have to save more capital, and when the time comes, he will be rewarded for his merits, and there must be more places for people to boast, so that the superiors can have multiple excuses, right?Li forced Jia Lian to take the county and government exams early next year, and he was only allowed to succeed or not, which made Jia Lian lose a lot of hair.

Jia Min, who has always had a straight face, also came to urge him to make progress.Jia Min didn't know Jia Lian's secret affairs, but she was busy looking after Jia Lian's daughter-in-law. These days, she had figured out the conditions for choosing a good son-in-law among the big families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jia Lian is the grandson of Xijue of the Duke's Mansion, this one alone has overwhelmed many handsome men, and his handsome face is so graceful that he is even more popular with his wives, grandmas and girls. □□The national government is at a time when its prosperity is declining, and the gentlemen of the literary generation are either useless or too motivated, which makes Jia Lian not very popular among many gentlemen with ups and downs in officialdom.

Once Jia Min made up his mind, it was still important for Jia Lian to make progress on his own.Although a child student or even a scholar is nothing, at least he can boast that he is eager to learn and has a good reputation when he goes out.After all, among the children who grew up in such a heap of splendor, few can be as hardworking and self-disciplined as Lin Hai, and there are more cockfighting and running dogs. If they are willing to go to school, they will be able to impress some elders.

At that time, Jia Lian will have talent, looks, and family background, and he dare not say that he is rich and beautiful, and he can still choose one of the ladies with good looks, and he can't be much worse than the eldest girl of the Wang family.

Now that Jia Min has made up his mind, he can't help but watch Jia Lian even tighter. Even the four big girls, Hongxiang and Lvyu, are called back to beat him.

While reciting the book, Jia Lian drank all kinds of tonic soup. Within a month, he developed three or four bright red and shiny pimples on his face. He was so anxious that he covered half of his face with a paper fan when he saw everyone, and put Jia Min in a hurry. He couldn't laugh anymore, and asked the doctor to give him medicine to set him on fire. Even Lin Hai liked to bring him to meet people even more.

Looking at Lin Hai's gentle and gentlemanly demeanor, Jia Lian only felt that his teeth were aching.

Why is he so angry?Naturally, it was not because of the imperial examination.For a child from a poor family with little foundation, it may be very difficult to be a child and a scholar, but he has a gentleman like Lin Hai, and he is full of talented scholars and scholars in his contacts. He is not stupid like a pig, so he has taken advantage of it.

What he worries about is another one.

A few days after revealing that he secretly took refuge in the Sixth Prince, Lin Hai called him to the study to give him some instructions.First, the Lin family shouldn't have known about this matter, so the Lin family will naturally continue to be ignorant.Second, Lin Hai himself also felt that the sixth prince could be handed over, so he would not obstruct Jia Lian's actions, but Jia Lian's actions must not let him notice again.

Jia Lian was annoyed by this second worry.Uncle Lin is as shrewd as a monkey in foreign affairs, and he lives under Uncle Lin's nose, trying to completely cover up how difficult it is, and with the care of his aunt beside him, it is even more difficult to perform.

Originally, the schoolwork was not easy, and Jia Lian had to worry too much about acting in this kind of Western drama with Uncle Lin every day, so he got angry and affected his appearance.

Even the shopkeeper of the horse that the sixth prince placed in Yangzhou mansion admired the perseverance of the second master Lian, and couldn't help but mention it in the secret letter to the master.

As a result, Jia Lian, who had just figured out the trick, received a secret letter from Beijing, asking him if he had taken a selfie in the mirror recently and drew a small portrait of himself. When Jia Lian replied angrily, he scolded half a page before getting down to business.

This day Jia Lian had just read the account book and was about to have a sip of tea and start to endorse, when the servant who was serving Lin Hai came trotting to invite him over.

Jia Lian's hand holding the pen couldn't help but tremble a little. Seeing the boy's smiling and obedient face, he breathed a sigh of relief, changed into another neat clothes and went over.

When he arrived at the study room, Jia Lian glanced calmly at the servants standing by the courtyard gate. Seeing that their expressions were as usual and they had no intention of closing the door quietly, he walked in with his head held high, and bowed to Lin Hai gently and politely. Say hello.

Lin Hai nodded slightly, then took a sheet of letter paper from the stack at hand and handed it over, indicating to Jia Lian to read it first.

Jia Lian took it respectfully, opened it and read it, and found that it was a certain page in the middle of a private letter.

However, the Prince of Nan'an accidentally got a set of music boxes during his travels. It is exquisitely crafted, has a unique Western flavor, and is excellent in shape, color and sound quality. It was presented to the nine princesses in the palm of the hand a month ago. The nine princesses love it very much. Concubine Xian also specially recruited Princess Nan'an to speak in the past, which was very honorable.

Unexpectedly, within five days after the Ninth Princess Fangchen, many more expensive and exquisite music boxes have sprung up in several larger foreign firms in central Beijing like mushrooms. The set that the princess got was mediocre or even slightly worse, which caused quite a disturbance.

The person who wrote the letter should be a colleague of Lin Hai who has a close personal relationship, but in a few words, he wrote the coquettishness of the Ninth Princess, faintly revealing his dissatisfaction with the interference of the Xian Concubine and the Ninth Princess in the previous court, but also revealed one or two things about Nan'an. The palace was in a state of embarrassment when it failed to flatter.

Jia Lian didn't try to guess the identity of the person who wrote the letter, but restrained a slight smile and returned the letter with both hands.

Lin Hai curled his lips, and said with a sneer: "It's true to clap your hands and laugh, what are you pretending to do here? I'm afraid that the embarrassment of Nan'an Palace is now, you have expected it a long time ago."

Jia Lian's face remained unmoved, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth hardly changed: "Recently, the students have put on a lot of pretense, and they also find it interesting. It may not be possible to change it for a while, but I hope the teacher will be happy."

Recently, Lin Hai has always been trying to make things difficult for him, and he also wanted to let his close friends see the embarrassment on his face. Jia Lian was depressed and could only smile, not because his face was stiff.

Lin Hai thought for a while, then nodded, obviously agreeing with Jia Lian's reasoning: "In that case, you can go back and continue to study the book. There is Yan Ruyu in the book, so that your aunt won't bother you. Besides, next time Xiu Mu, I have an old friend from Jinling, and you just happened to write a few more articles, so let him take a look."

Lin Hai's old friend is the uncle of Jia Zhu's father-in-law Li Jijiu. He has first-rate character and writing, but he has a bad relationship with Li Jijiu, and he himself has no intention of career.

Jia Lian didn't know these old grievances, nor did he know the names of Lin Hai's old friends, so he agreed according to the etiquette.

After Jia Lian turned around and retreated, Lin Hai picked up the mansion newspaper that had been left on the table, hesitating in his heart whether he should tell Jia Zheng about the last change in the letter, and finally put down his pen and closed his eyes to rest.

It's just a guess in his mind, if he doesn't agree with his words in the end, he may kill someone, so it's better to wait for the future.
