The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian took a step back subconsciously, and finally stepped forward with a slight smile to salute Jia Zhu: "Brother Zhu."

Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jia Lian, and hurried a few steps over to grab Jia Lian's arm, so anxious that his servant, the pen and the inkstone, called him "slow down" repeatedly, lest he be caught on the slippery cobblestones. Accidentally fell on the trail.

Uncle Zhu is his wife's eyeball, the number one talent praised by his master, even if his skin is a little oily, they can't bear it.

Jia Zhu couldn't help frowning, and her expression was no longer as happy as before.Now he is also a person who is about to enter school and get married, but the servants around him are so startled and cautious, it is really out of place.However, the few servants were personally arranged by the wife, who were careful, diligent and dedicated, so he couldn't reprimand them casually, lest they chill the hearts of loyal servants and make the wife look bad.

Seeing all the changes in Jia Zhu's expression, Jia Lian didn't know what to do, just waiting for Jia Zhu to explain his visit with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Wang has always regarded her sons very closely. Jia Zhu is the eldest son and Mrs. Wang's only son for more than ten years. .Afraid of the wind in winter and the sun in summer, the servant girl asked three times a day, lest there was something inappropriate.Jia Lian often felt that Mrs. Wang might have left one eye in Jia Zhu's room when she slept.

Finally, I got a precious jade the year before last, and when I was full moon, I was taken to the old lady's room to be raised. There were old ladies on the third floor and the outer three floors around me. The surveillance is even stricter.

In the future, when Zhu's sister-in-law came in, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a lot of secret rivalries, each of them wanted to be the master of Jia Zhu's house, and I didn't know how angry she was.

At this moment, Jia Zhu looked like he was looking for him, maybe someone had already gone to Rongxi Hall to report the news, and then he should be accused of delaying Jia Zhu's admission to school.

Jia Zhu herself should also be aware of how much his parents and elders value his studies, but he didn't say much nonsense, pulling Jia Lian and asked anxiously: "Lian'er, why are you having a hard time seeing off your eldest sister today? When she left How are you? Are you reluctant to go home?"

It wasn't that Jia Zhu insisted on making things uncomfortable for himself and the old lady at the critical moment of schooling, and came to Jia Lian as soon as he returned home to greet his wife, but he was also thinking about his only younger sister, Yuan Chun.He also asked Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang just kept saying that Yuan Chun was for him and Baoyu, and reminded him to remember Yuan Chun's goodness, so she urged him to go back to the room to study and solve the problem.

After thinking about it, Jia Zhu realized that apart from Jia Lian, there was no one he could ask questions in this mansion, so he had to ignore the persuasion of the servants and find him.The younger sister of the same mother, if you don't listen to her appearance when she leaves home, Jia Zhu always feels a little bit uneasy.

Jia Lian suddenly felt dumbfounded.Taking a breath of air and suppressing the smile on his face, Jia Lian still thought about the situation at that time with all his heart, and replied seriously: "The master asked me for something, so he delayed for a while, but he didn't delay sending his eldest sister. My brother also knows that Yuan girl has always been dignified, stable and polite. I saw that although she was reluctant to stay at home, she still managed it. The Huangmen who picked me up also took my purse, thinking that she could take care of Yuan girl more. You Don't worry too much, our brothers will naturally be her support in the future."

Yuanchun is more than just grasping it, it is clearly full of ambition and determined to earn a fortune, but the old lady and wife are a little sad and worried, which is probably more bearable.But Jia Lian didn't plan to talk to Jia Zhu about these things.

Glancing at Shi Yan, who looked disapproving when he said that he and Jia Zhu would be Yuan Chun's reliance in the future, Jia Lian patted Jia Zhu's arm lightly, and withdrew his hand calmly.

Jia Zhu didn't notice Jia Lian's actions.He first wondered for a while how the master could find Jia Lian when he went to the ministry today to find something to do, only to realize that the master in Jia Lian's words might not be the same as he thought, and then he was immersed in pity for Yuan Chun, only Following Jia Lian's words, he couldn't stop nodding.

But Jia Lian didn't bother to continue talking with him about this, he hadn't figured out how ugly Yinmao was in the mess of the big house, how could there be that kind of unconsolable brother-sister affection that cares about the brothers next door.

Without waiting for Jia Zhu to speak again, Jia Lian hastily sealed his words, and asked worriedly, "Brother Zhu just returned to the residence? My brother should go back soon and do it well, otherwise it would be a big deal to delay this year's hospital examination."

Jia Zhu is now studying with the great Confucian Li Ji Lun, who is the uncle of his future father-in-law Li Jijiu, and it is because of this in-law relationship that the highly respected Li Daru is willing to accept Jia Zhu as his disciple.With Li Daru's teaching and Li Jijiu's arrangement, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion regarded Jia Zhu's reputation as a scholar in this court examination as a certainty, and no mistakes could be tolerated.

Even the cousin who didn't like reading the most on weekdays began to persuade her, Jia Zhu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and immediately forgot what she wanted to say before, said goodbye to Jia Lian in a hurry, and walked away quickly with the servant .

As soon as Jia Zhu left, Jia Lian was afraid that there would be something annoying waiting for him, so he hurried back to his yard, sweating all over his body.

Yiren and Cui'er, who were leading the little girls under their command, were quarreling with sour words, and Xing'er had just brought Bihuan back from the old man's yard for their second master, when Jia Lian suddenly came back by herself. hurried away.One by one, those who played fans, those who poured tea, and those who ran out to order someone to bring water for Jia Lian to take a bath. The corners of the clothes are not exposed.

Jia Lian saw it, but he was only trying to save an innocent life, and he didn't want to spread the affair of the father and son fighting for the maid, so he just pretended not to see it, let the maids take care of him lazily, and waited for the hot water to be lifted. He told them to go out after he came in, and by the way, he found the Hou Han Shu that he hadn't finished reading yesterday.

Because Jia Lian didn't use maids to take care of the bathing since last year, several big maids often suspected each other in private that someone secretly took the first place, and they just talked to each other to no avail. Now that they hear such orders, they just laugh. After a while, he went out as he said.

There was a third-class girl with a water-snake waist and a melon-seed face, who was stimulated by Bihuan and wanted to sell well. Tweety waved to her, but she still looked at Jia Lian with watery eyes, and her voice was soft and sweet: "Second Lord, for a family like ours, you are born rich and noble, unlike the men of the Second Household who have to study hard work to earn a future by themselves, why bother yourself?"

After she finished speaking, the eyes of the maids next to her were about to burst into flames, Tweety stood beside her wishing she could tear up the scumbag who knew how to hook up with men every day, but because she didn't know Jia Lian's thoughts, she could only keep her face green Waiting, praying to God and worshiping Buddha in my heart, I am afraid that Jia Lian will really fall in love with her when he is fascinated by ghosts for a while.

Jia Lian didn't let the girl get out immediately, because she was so happy that she was startled.

Hearing these words in two lifetimes added up made his ears callous. "People like them" the eldest son of Xijue, the eldest son of Xijue, has the shade of his ancestors lying down, studying hard and taking the imperial examination is something that the second house brother has to do.With the same meaning, the old lady said, the master said, the wife said, and the wife of the second room even talked about it all the time.Although the second master believes that everything is inferior and only studies are high, he never disciplines himself like he whipped Jia Zhu.

But it is also this group of people who compare themselves with Jia Zhu every day, and even the servants look down on him, the unlearned and incompetent Second Master Lian who is not as promising as Jia Zhu.

It's true anyway, except for him, Jia Lian.

Curling her lips with a cold face, Jia Lian directly said "Pull it out", which completely suppressed the rich heart of wanting to be an aunt.

After all the maids retreated in silence, Jia Lian pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, without even taking off his clothes, stretched his long legs into the bathtub, slammed into the water heavily, and let out a long and comfortable sigh.
