The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Knowing that Jia Lian hadn't practiced for three to five years, he might not even be able to touch the edge of the Guibang, so Lin Hai no longer held him to study hard in the mansion, but a few confidantes took him out every now and then to walk around. , I went to some places where the market was mixed with fish and dragons, and I often took him out for socializing, banquets, and literary meetings, and met many Yangzhou gentry and talents.

Jia Lian, as the grandson of the Duke and the only son of a first-class general, is humble, polite, humorous, and knowledgeable, but he has also won the favor of some elders and made friends with one or two friends.Those who have girls of the right age in the Yangzhou mansion also inquired about the intention of the second master of the Jia family who came from the capital to choose a wife in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, when Jia Min went out to eat several times, there were several wives. Reserved and veiled to inquire about her tone, thinking of marrying the girl in the family to Jia Lian.

This time, the people who spoke were much better than before. The girl herself is dignified and beautiful, and her father and brother are also upright. Jia Min was happy to go back and talk to Lin Hai a few times, circled a few good candidates, and asked Lin Hai to look at the girl's house again. wind reviews.

No matter how much he teased and disliked Jia Lian, Lin Hai cared very much about the lifelong event of the only disciple, and as soon as Jia Min mentioned it, he told her in detail the manuscript he had inquired about a long time ago.

It's just that Jia Lian's wife will be the grandma of the Rongguo Mansion in the future, she will play an important role in the back house, the situation in the Rongguo Mansion is complicated, there are two layers of mother-in-law, and now the head of the house is still the aunt of the second room, so this person must be smart, stable and able to stand, too sharp Bi Lu or too gentle and docile are useless.

Once this item is added, it may take some more time to carefully observe the characters and temperament of the girls.Jia Min could only hold back, and held two flower viewing parties on a day-to-day basis, inviting women from all families to come to the house to enjoy the scenery and listen to the opera.

It's a pity that before she could decide on a candidate with all four corners, Jingzhong Jiamu and others sent someone to send an urgent letter.When Lin Hai went down to the yamen that day, he also brought a copy of the residence newspaper with a solemn expression.

Lin Hai also sniffed something unusual from the mansion newspapers in the past few years. Based on some clues, he speculated that Li Jijiu's seat in the Imperial College might not be guaranteed. It was fast and heavy, and several Hanlin's petitions were also refuted, which means that there is no room for half-heartedness.Now that the mansion newspaper has been issued, Li Jijiu will cut his job for the people and never use it.

The Li family is not a noble family, now Li Jijiu has completely cut off his official career, and the Li family has no one else who is an official in Beijing, so it suddenly fell into ruin.

Such a big event happened to the in-laws' family, and the marriage between the Jia family and the Li family had such expectations, so Lin Hai naturally wanted to tell Jia Min that he knew about it.And in the letter that Jia Min received, Jia's mother talked about the same thing in a long way.

Seeing Lin Hai finally came back from the yamen, Jia Min, who had been frowning all this time, sighed while serving tea: "You think it's a good thing. Zhu's daughter-in-law has only been in the door for a long time. Last time, the old lady said that she had already let her go." I started working with the second sister-in-law to manage the house, and this happened. I heard that it was a charge of ineffective supervision, and the adults of the Imperial College have not had accidents before, so why is the punishment so severe this time?"

There are many honorable and high-ranking officials in the Imperial College, or there are disagreements in temperament, or old family grievances. It is inevitable that there will be bumps and conflicts. It is also a common thing.However, it is the only case since Li Jijiu was directly cut to the end and stated that it will never be used.

Li Jijiu's accident will definitely delay Jia Zhu's future.On the one hand, Jia Min was worried about his nephew, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for his nephew and daughter-in-law.Although she didn't have the chance to meet Zhu's daughter-in-law Li Shi, she sounded like a virtuous and dignified daughter-in-law. Her second sister-in-law had always had eyes above her head, and now she might rub Zhu's daughter-in-law hard.

Ever since she gave birth to Daiyu, Jia Min's heart has become softer than before, thinking that a good girl will be rubbed by such a thoughtful mother-in-law after she gets married, and then put the little Daiyu in, I just feel like my heart is going to be broken.

Lin Hai took the tea and took a sip, then pulled Jia Min to sit on both sides of the kang table, put down the mansion newspaper and smiled wryly: "It's just for this. It's just a pretext. I only feel sorry for the family of my nephew and daughter-in-law. I'm afraid they will die soon." I'm going to pack up and go back to the countryside of Jinling. I don't know if we will see each other again in this life. Fortunately, the Li family in Jinling is also a famous family, and there are great Confucian scholars like Mr. Li. They are protected by clan members, and being a squire is safe enough that the old man always makes him happy. of."

Lin Hai thought about it for a long time, and also recruited his staff to discuss it. He always felt that this matter might still have an inseparable relationship with the abolished prince.The Holy Majesty is getting older, and his suspicions are getting worse. Anyone and anything related to the palace change in the past will be killed rather than let go.There is nothing actually wrong with the Li family, otherwise, it would be settled by cutting his job for the people.It's just that Lin Hai has been away from Beijing for too long, and many news are always unclear, which is also helpless.

Jia Min also knew that this matter was unusual at first glance, so she didn't ask any more questions immediately, but it's just that they are both officials and officials, so they can't help but feel sad.And she also met Jia Zhu many times before leaving Beijing with her husband.The child is good at home, but his mind is a little delicate, and he is a little conceited because of his outstanding playing skills.

Originally, the marriage with the Li family would inevitably be talked about by the villain with red eyes, but such a thing happened at such a critical moment when Qiu Wei was approaching. I don't know if Jia Zhu can bear it in her heart.If the standard is lost due to gossip, it will be even more overwhelming.

Thinking about the current chaos in her natal family, Jia Min's dissatisfaction subsided a little, and she said what Jia's mother asked for in the letter: "The old lady wrote to ask Lian'er to go back. Now there is chaos there. Very well, Zhu'er has to prepare for Qiu Wei and to go out for the Yue family, and the elder brother and the second brother are not very familiar with common affairs. You also know that the mansion over there has not been as good as before since the old lady left. , Many things can be done by the stewards, and Lian'er must go back to support one or two."

As soon as Lin Hai saw the mansion report today, he guessed that the Jia family should ask Jia Lian to go back, which is not surprising.Seeing that Jia Min was unhappy, he comforted her instead: "Lian'er is a descendant of the Jia family, and now the family is not at peace. It is a matter for him to go back and take care of one or two, otherwise he will not care about the family members, and he will lose his morals." He will be criticized by others. Besides, although I want to keep him in Qiuwei, it will take many years of hard work. As the only son of the big family, he can't leave home for so long without talking, and it will not be conducive to his growth."

Jia Min glared at Lin Hai when he heard the words: "Where can the Ningrong Second Mansion find a teacher who can make fuss like you and is willing to patiently teach Lian'er, and he will grow up. Don't waste your studies when Lian'er goes back, I will be Amitabha .”

Hearing Madam turning a corner and praising him for his knowledge, Lin Hai felt quite complacent in his heart, but his face was unmoved, and he just patiently explained: "Madam's words are wrong. You must know that human feelings are sophistication. Before Lian'er went to Jiangnan, he didn't think No matter how much he has been out, he has never seen the warmth and coldness of the world. People in the Jiangnan area or the two thin noodles are also very polite to him. Only this time, when he goes out to do housework, he probably needs to know the height of his eyebrows. Always a good thing."

Lin Hai didn't need to think about it to know that the Rongguo Mansion asked Jia Lian to go back this time because there must be some difficult things for him to do, and he might even pull the banner on the Xunyan Yushi Mansion.But Lin Haiyi couldn't prevent the family reunion under such circumstances, and Er Jialian's not showing up in Yangzhou would not be good for his official reputation in the future, so he simply let him go back to see it.

Although Jia Min understood the difficulty of her natal mother and elder brother in her heart, and felt that her husband Lin Hai's eloquence was somewhat reasonable, but he still couldn't let it go. After all, he sent someone to invite Jia Lian to talk and asked him what he meant.

"If you don't want to go back, just say it straight, I will make the decision and go back to the old lady for you, just say that I am troubled now and can't leave you."

As soon as Jia Lian came, Jia Min saw that the young Pianpian had grown taller and stronger than last year, so he immediately forgot his understanding of Jia Mu and others, and even changed the tone of the conversation.

Lin Hai hurriedly lowered his eyes to drink tea, and Jia Lian also felt dumbfounded, and quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "When the whole family is in trouble, how can I hide my laziness. Even if my aunt doesn't ask, Lian'er will tell my uncle and aunt tomorrow when she says hello. of."

In the previous life, the affairs of Zhu's sister-in-law's house were also troubled by the people of Rongguo Mansion.At that time, he was doing housework with a few housekeepers, and he had to run errands to inquire about him, and he often complained when he returned home.

Last year, Jia Lian also thought about whether to mention this matter.However, there was no news about the accident and downfall of the Li family. When the two families got married, it was the Jia family who took advantage of it. If he spoke without evidence, he would be regarded as having ulterior motives and let it go.

Although Jia Lian had a rift with the second wife, he and Jia Zhuoyu were actually cousins, so they didn't have much animosity when they got along.Now that Jia Zhu is in a state of desperation, it's no big deal if he goes back and helps get around a little bit.

Since Jia Lian wanted to, Jia Min didn't say much more. He just talked about preparing Cheng Yi for Jia Lian's luggage, and he also wanted to mention some servants who followed Jia Lian back.

Jia Lian sneaked away from his busy schedule and ran to Jinling, pinching the physical evidence he had collected around before, tied up several slaves who took care of the ancestral property, and sold them directly.
