The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Because Jia Lian had pretended something in his heart, Jia Lian put on a crown and put on clothes before his hair was completely dry, and left the mansion. The big girl who asked Mrs. Wang to come to invite him to talk to him was gone again.The girl dawdled for a while, seeing that everyone in Jia Lian's yard was cunning, she couldn't find out where Jia Lian was going, so she could only go back in dismay.

When Mrs. Wang frowned and ordered someone to talk to the two young men who usually go out with Jia Lian, Jia Lian had already left Xinger and Wanger in the teahouse to listen to the book, and walked into Dexin Hall from the side door by himself. In the backyard, two spies sent by unknown people were left a few streets away and bumped into walls everywhere by means of the suspicious array that had been set up long ago.

Holding two bundles of fragrant cloud gauze in his arms, Jia Lian walked in, thinking about the tighter situation in Beijing than a year ago, humming a few Suzhou Pingtan tunes on his face. He prepared a house in Dexintang, and he was going to take a bag of tea to taste.As soon as he opened the cabinet door, something hit him on the back, and when he turned his head, the Xiang Yunsha in hand disappeared.

Reluctantly turned around, Jia Lian glanced angrily at Yang Yuan, who was throwing the marbles in one hand and holding Xiang Yunsha in the other, and stared at the marbles still rolling on the ground, and said in a strange way: "I don't know if the Sixth Prince is here." , What a negligence, please forgive me, my lord." As he spoke, Jia Lian pressed his junior who was in pain from being hit by marbles, and went to make tea with his teeth bared.

That appearance is not so much an apology as a provocation.Yang Yuan was not at all annoyed by his subordinate's audacity, instead he touched his nose embarrassingly.Seeing that Jia Lian didn't intend to talk to him for a while, Yang Yuan turned his eyes away, casually threw the marbles to Xia Shouzhong who was watching his heart in the corner, and happily unpacked the burden.

He tore off the outer cloth three or two times, Yang Yuan stroked his short temples with satisfaction, then suddenly sighed: "You say you, what a big deal, but a few bolts of clothing material, you can't bear to give it to me. Could it be that our friendship over the past few years is fake? It’s true that I’m kind and respectful when I’m needed, and just look at people when I’m not.”

The production of xiangyun gauze is not much, and there are even fewer delicate colors like pink. The ten pieces that Jia Lian sent over were caught by his eldest daughter again, and they wanted to cut skirts to wear.Yang Yuan was embarrassed to rob things with his daughter, so he had no choice but to face the concubine's half-smiling eyes, divided the little princess into half, and sent someone to look for Jia Lian when he turned around, but was dismissed with a few words.Fortunately, on the way back to the mansion, he heard the guards report that Jia Lian had come to Dexintang with two pieces of cloth, so he rushed back with Xia Shouzhong, and it really was a worthwhile trip. ,

Jia Lian originally felt a little unfamiliar in his heart, but now Yang Yuan's excellent singing and reciting skills have disappeared. Hearing this, he tried his best to clear his throat and replied, "Your Highness is serious. I'm clumsy, please forgive me, Your Highness." Take a look at my trip." Turning around, Yang Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat of Dama Jindao, pondered whether to make a long gown with pink borders, or asked the embroidery room to rush to make a gown with powder foundation and flowers, and poured a cup of tea. .

Yang Yuan wanted to snort and laugh at Jia Lian's embezzlement of his beloved cloth, but when the words came to his lips, he thought of his increasingly rich private treasury, so he nodded with a smile on his face, put down the materials and took a sip of tea, and praised: "This Is it the new Taiping Monkey Queen who came up from the tea mountain in Huizhou? Sure enough, the tea is good, and the aroma will be more fragrant after a while. I will go to the palace tomorrow to pay a little respect, and the uncles and brothers will also send some, and the money will be settled. It's gone." Yang Yuan didn't need to say which sum of money was referring to, as the people present knew it well.

Jia Lian had just found a comfortable seat to sit and sip tea. Hearing the words, she was silent for a moment but couldn't help but said, "Then you must not enter the palace wearing a pink robe, that person hates you wearing pink the most." When it was over, Jia Lian turned away with a look of horror.

The Holy Majesty is an old man who is surrounded by beauties in the harem. He has always been used to looking at the pink, tender and pretty young concubines around him. It is a thousand things that are not pleasing to the sixth prince, a burly man who likes pink. The clothes and fabrics of the palace are all missing a color, but Yang Yuan is indomitable.

Xia Shouzhong's triangular eyes glanced at Jia Lian inconspicuously, but Yang Yuan curled his lips and smiled: "How can he take care of such trivial matters now? It's better than my good brothers who are filial. I heard you Did you ask someone to follow you when you came over?"

When Yang Yuan brought up the business, Jia Lian straightened his sitting posture and said solemnly, "Exactly, I felt something was wrong as soon as I left the mansion, and I finally left him behind. I guess I will have to work hard for the brothers to help clean up later. I think it will be a big deal. Some people can't sit still."

It doesn't matter if the princes want to win over important officials in the court, or build weapons in private to support private soldiers, build momentum, cultivate power, everything cannot be separated from money, Yang Yuan has an extra Jia Lian to help him make a lot of money, so naturally there is no money for it. Big hands or greedy.No matter how concealed it is, people can always catch some clues on the top of the store, and it is inevitable that someone will come to test it.This is just the beginning, this kind of situation will only increase in the future, Jia Lian and Yang Yuan also know it well.

Yang Yuan moved his somewhat stiff neck, and said with a sneer, "You just do things as usual, none of our brothers are vegetarians. Besides, someone is about to be in trouble, so after a while, naturally we won't be able to take care of it." is you."

Jia Lian nodded tacitly.Although I haven't found out the truth yet, but I put together the sporadic news I got on the business road, and the soldiers and horses went ahead before the food and grass were moved. I am afraid that someone wants to learn how to abolish the prince.I don't know if the people this time will have the luck to guard the imperial tomb.

Yang Yuan came here today to see the big accountant he had been away for a long time, so he had to take care of his family affairs.Sitting and eating tea for a while, when Xia Shouzhong went to get the teapot to refill the tea, Yang Yuan took the initiative to ask: "After you came back, I heard that someone from your clan went to visit the house of a small official surnamed Qin. adopted daughter?"

"How can you not know?" When Jia Lian mentioned this, his heart was filled with unknown anger, and he couldn't help sneering: "The old lady and the second wife of my family in Dongfu all regard the girl from the Qin family as a sweet pastry, and I just wish I could rush to burn it. What about this hot stove?"

As soon as Yang Yuan heard it, he understood that Jia Lian already knew the origin of the Qin family, but he didn't know that besides the Ningguo Mansion, even the Rongguo Mansion had this idea, so he couldn't help being surprised.Now that Jia Zhu married a wife, even if the Li family died suddenly, the emperor would not let the Qin family be a successor. Now in the Rongguo Mansion, there is only one suitable young master, Jia Lian.

Yang Yuan looked at Jia Lian for a while, shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I'm not tempted when I look at you, that's good. The women in the inner house are ignorant, so I really think this is a good thing? Marrying the Qin family, at least two generations No head. If it wasn’t for Jia Jing who couldn’t get out of the past, I’m afraid he wouldn’t lose the future of his children and grandchildren and just hope for the safety of his family. Just wait and see, when this thing is settled, Jia Jing should become a monk Go, your relatives in the house are a blessing in disguise at the moment. Your grandmother and aunt are really too long-handed, so you can't let them do bad things."

Mrs. Wang is better. Mother Jia has been suppressing Jia Lian through filial piety, which is really annoying.He has two worries today, one is the sinful account of the Qin family and the Dongfu father and son, and the other is his own wife selection.

The superiors only think that the Ningguo Mansion is useless, so they can no longer help the abolished prince. Marrying an illegitimate daughter in the past to keep the mansion safe is also worthy of the Jia family's achievements. I have an explanation to the veterans, but I certainly can't think of Ningguo Mansion. Such a man could not be successful enough to have adulterous affairs, so much so that the emperor did not forget to leave a will to deal with the Ningguo Mansion later.Jia Lian is from the Rongguo Mansion, so he can't keep an eye on the mansion over there all the time. I really don't want Jia Rong to take the Qin family back again.

As for his own marriage, although Jia Lian was not afraid of Jia's mother's schemes, this time and time again was really annoying.On the way here just now, Jia Lian didn't think about asking Yang Yuan to choose a reliable daughter as his wife under his command, but after thinking about it for a long time, Jia Lian still dismissed this idea.No matter how uncomfortable it is, Jia Lian also wants to have a confidant to accompany her for the rest of her life like her uncle and aunt, and she can't make a hasty decision just to avoid calculations.Anyway, Jia Amnesty is still alive and well, but no matter how many means Mrs. Jia Muwang has, she can't get past Jia Amnesty to get him engaged.

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Lian suddenly got up and bowed solemnly, raised his face and said with a smile: "At this moment, Xiangwen has two things I would like to ask you to extend your hand to, so I would like to thank you for your kindness first."

Yang Yuan was picking up tea to drink, he threw half of his body without paying attention, rolled his eyes angrily, didn't care about his wet robe, just stared at Jia Lian and cursed a few times, and told him to fart quickly .

Seeing his cold face too much, Jia Lian didn't feel afraid, so she just explained the matter simply and clearly.One is to ask Yang Yuan to find a way to let the sage choose another son-in-law for the daughter of the Qin family, and the other is to ask Yang Yuan to help him return to Huan, so that the Ningguo Mansion really collapses.After all, if he couldn't write two Jia characters in one stroke, the Ningguo Mansion would not be able to please the Rongguo Mansion if it really fell.

With a dark face, Yang Yuan responded one by one, and he didn't want Xia Shouzhong to help him change clothes, he was about to go back home.As he walked, he still scolded Jia Lian: "You son of a bitch, the last time I didn't report the matter of salt to Lao Tzu, I sent someone again, and I waited for Lao Tzu to come and settle the score with you."

Knowing that Yang Yuan was talking about the last time someone used the hands of a big salt merchant in Yangzhou to plot against Lin Hai, Jia Lian, who had learned the news from Yang Yuan in advance, helped resolve the matter. Respectfully send people away.
