The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Hearing that Dafang and his son had arrived, the smile on Mother Jia's face that was teased by Jia Baoyu disappeared.

As soon as she came back yesterday, she heard from the eldest girl who stayed in the house that the old master came to talk to her, and just in time for Zhu's daughter-in-law to give birth, she went back to the east courtyard.Jia Amnesty was an uncle, and it was true that his nephew and daughter-in-law avoided giving birth. Jia Lian was a cousin, and he couldn't find fault with the widow and sister-in-law. Fang made a note.I just feel that this family is cold-hearted.

At this moment, Mother Jia can't remember that the Xing family was chosen by her for Jia She. She feels that the Xing family's small family is not worthy of the stage. .

Jia Mu's face was indifferent, but Jia Amnesty was all smiles.He had never had a few good faces from Jia Mu in his life, so naturally he didn't take Jia Mu's cold face to heart, and he didn't bother to think about it. He only thought that his pair of eyeballs were used for breathing. Looking at Jiamu's unkind face, she said happily to herself: "My son has a very good thing, and I came here to tell the old lady, and I will make you happy too. A serious double happiness is here."

Mother Jia snorted coldly when she heard this.She is quite old, if she is not pissed off by this evil, it means that her ancestors have accumulated virtue, Amitabha, what good things can you expect him to bring back?What's more, if Jia Amnesty directly said to report, wouldn't that mean that it had already been settled, and he just informed her, the lonely old woman?Just as she was about to speak, Jia Amnesty had already spoken in passing, but she was never given a chance to speak.

"The old lady also knows that Lian'er's luck is not very good, and he is not young, but he doesn't even have a marriage, no family and no job, which is really worrying. Although sister and brother-in-law help each other, it is also delayed. After so long, my son always feels sorry for his poor mother."

Ever since Jia Lian's grandparent's family had an accident, Jia Amnesty never mentioned such a family, and he seemed to have completely forgotten his beloved wife, and the whole house was silent, as if Jia Lian jumped out of a crack Yes, such a sentence came out of nowhere today, which made Jia's mother change her face in an instant, and sat up straight and stared at Jia Amnesty.

Jia She, however, seemed to have no idea what he said. He sighed and returned to his smiling face, stroking his beard very contentedly: "Fortunately, the ancestors bless you, my son has accidentally lost his opinion on calligraphy and painting these days. I have some affinity with Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, but it happens that there is a girl in the family of Shangshu's relatives who is about the same age as Lian'er, so Shangshu asked me, and my son thinks it is a good match, so he has left a token. Look, old lady, isn't this a natural marriage?"

"Master told Lian'er about the girl from Shangshu's family?"

Before Jia's mother could speak, Madam Wang, who happened to lift the curtain and came in, asked directly in shock.People heard before they came, such an unruly thing was actually done by Mrs. Wang, who has always been disciplined and responsible for nearly 20 years. It can be seen that this thing is unexpected.

Jia Lian stood behind Jia She in a bored manner, saw Mrs. Wang's expression clearly when she came in, and naturally couldn't miss the flash of jealousy, so she smiled meaningfully at Mrs. Wang.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wang's mind is now on Jia Lian's marriage, and she doesn't care about Jia Lian at all. She calmed down and picked up the second chair from another chair that Jia's mother gave her, and sat down. The seat of leaving Jia Zheng is opposite to Jia Amnesty.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's gaffe, Jia's mother softened her expression and helped Mrs. Wang make up for it: "Although you watched Lian'er grow up and loved him as much as Zhuer Baoyu, his marriage has its own master. The eldest wife is in charge, no matter how anxious you are, there is no reason to overstep them."

Mrs. Wang agreed with a smile when she said something, and Jia Amnesty twitched when she heard it. Mother Jia glanced at Jia Lian who was indifferent, and then asked slowly: "You are also a person with sons and daughters. I don't care about those things in the past. You, toss around in the yard as you like, but I don't know when our family has moved with Liu Shangshu's family from the Ministry of War. Why do you want to give his girl to our family?"

Speaking of this, it is obvious that Jia She does not believe that Jia She can have any contact with someone like the Minister of the Ministry of War.If Jia Daishan was still alive, and the people from the Rongguo Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion met, Mrs. Shangshu would still smile and ask Jia Mu to sit on the seat, but now...the husband died and obeyed the son, and the glory of Jia Mu for most of her life was gradually lost because of the unworthy children How dare you expect Jia Amnesty to be so promising, to find such an affordable marriage for Jia Lian without saying a word.

Jia Amnesty made Jia's mother choke on these words, but he had heard such words so much that he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he wanted to show off how he got on good terms with Liu Shangshu and put Jia on the same page. The mother also choked for a while before she felt relieved: "Why don't you call it a book without a coincidence. Some time ago, the mansion was looking for doctors and medicines everywhere, and I also wanted to go out and search for it. When I was resting in a tea shop, I ran into a black shop with fake antique porcelain plates to fool people. The old lady often said that our family is benevolent, so how can I turn a blind eye to it? It was Liu Shangshu who was blackmailed, so we hit it off right away?"

The more he talked, the more joyful Jia She was. In his heart, Jia She was very proud of the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War who was not as good as himself in the field of antique appreciation. Naturally, he spoke with high spirits, and made Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's face pale when he said it.Although Jia Lian couldn't see his face, he could still imagine the triumphant look on his face, and couldn't help laughing inwardly.

Those two shops were bought by Jia Lian before he went south to Yangzhou, and they staged such a show on purpose to make the marriage teacher famous.I also don't know that Liu Shangshu, who has always disliked the troubles of antiques, always drinks with Master She who is obsessed with this way these days, and the meals are delicious.

Jia Amnesty's mouth was dry, and he took a few sips of the tea that was still hot, which made Jia's mother even more disgusted. She still didn't believe Liu Shangshu, so she agreed to marry him because of this kindness.Among all the sons and daughters in the capital, which ones have not been compared with each other in order to talk to each other.A girl from Shangshu's family, even if she is not the daughter or granddaughter of a direct relative, is precious if she can get Shangshu to take care of her marriage.Unless there's something wrong with this girl.

Jia's mother was about to ask, but after talking for a long time, Jia Amnesty revealed the cup: "Because of the speculative contract, brother Liu proposed marriage to me. She is the niece of my sister-in-law's natal family, and the youngest daughter of He Shoubei in Yunqing Prefecture. , Deyan, Ronggong are brilliant in everything, Mrs. Shangshu loves her like a heart, and she is very suitable for Lian'er. I also thought it was very good after hearing it, so I exchanged tokens with Brother Liu."

Jia Lian heard that Jia Amnesty changed from "Shangshu of the Ministry of War" and "Shangshu Liu" to "Brother Liu" without saying a few words. He couldn't help lowering his head and covering his mouth and coughed lightly. When he raised his head again, he saw Mrs. Wang relaxing. He changed his sitting posture, and there was still a bit of contempt that could only be understood in his expression.

In fact, it's not just Mrs. Wang. Mother Jia couldn't hide the disappointment on her face when she heard about the official position of the family with whom Jia Lian was married.She knew that her eldest son was never in tune, so how could she possibly get a good marriage, as expected, she was just a relative who was randomly dropped by someone to beat the autumn wind, and she thought she had picked up a treasure.

Jia's mother changed her face but did not open her mouth. Mrs. Wang sat beside her for a long while with jealousy and hatred. When Jia Lian became the daughter of Shangshu's mansion, she couldn't help it now. There was something in her words: "The matter of Yunqingzhou Son, although our family doesn’t know much about it, we are familiar with other places. Last year, Li Shoubei from Ping’an Prefecture came to Beijing to report on his work. Didn’t he also come to our house to post a post to visit? I think the two places are adjacent, and the rules are similar There are too many, and when the time comes to hire Lian'er, there won't be any major mistakes."

This is the marriage that the assassin Jia She made for Jia Lian. The Yue family's family status is too low.When she got engaged to Jia Zhu, Madam Wang's biggest regret was that the official status of Li Wan's family was not obvious, and she never stopped worrying about Jia Lian's wife's family background. Seemingly watching Jia Lian's ups and downs, at this moment, she suddenly knew that Jia Amnesty was so out of tune that he ruined Jia Lian's future. Mrs. Wang really made a wish in her heart, and she planned to offer three more sticks of incense to the Buddha when she went back.What kind of thing is defense? If you come to the house to send a post respectfully, Jia Zheng may not even go to see him in person!

Mrs. Wang's words were really harsh, even Jia's mother glanced at her lightly, but Jia Amnesty seemed not to understand her meaning at all, and nodded along, smiling in response: "Your brother and sister are right. But Lian My son is my only son, and his daughter-in-law will be the young mistress of the Rongguo Mansion in the future. The eldest grandson welcomes his relatives and hires him. The mansion has its own rules. I will entrust this matter to my younger brothers and sisters. I don’t need to worry too much, just follow the rules. The old lady thinks what the son said is right?"

Jia She said that women love to fight over these useless things, and there is no need to tell the second wife about the benefits of this marriage, lest they have bad intentions and secretly tamper with each other.Let them be proud first, and spend the betrothal gift firmly, and naturally when you look back, you will have a look at their excitement.

When Jia Amnesty mentioned the dowry, Mrs. Wang's unexplainable joy was suppressed.Rongguo Mansion has the rules of hiring the grandson of the grandson, she can be said to be very clear in her heart.When Jia Amnesty married his first wife, all the ancestors of the Jia family were still alive, and the marriage between the Duke's Mansion, which was in charge of the military, and the Prince Taifu's family, was such a pomp that the people of the capital talked about it for several years, until Jia Lian was born, Some people compare that marriage with the later ones.

Even though many of them were from the ancestors' private houses to subsidize Jia She, the eldest grandson, but the public also gave away more than half of it, and Mrs. Wang only saw Shanzi once when she was in charge of the account reconciliation, and it hurt for more than a month.The idea of ​​buying a copy for Jia Lian according to that quota had just started, and her heart was on fire.

Mrs. Wang couldn't refuse directly, but she refused to answer. She just held on with a smirk and made up her mind to delay the conversation, but she didn't expect Mother Jia to nod after a little thought.

"You are his father. Since you think this marriage is good, then go according to the etiquette. There is no need for my old lady to say anything about the ready-made rules left by my ancestors."
