The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Daiyu looked at Jia Lian affectionately with a pair of clear phoenix eyes, and there was a natural romantic attitude between Gu Pan, which made people feel a little loving and close at first sight.Jia Lian exchanged a glance with her, feeling a little regretful.Sister Lin was born slender and frail, and she might not be able to withstand the cold winter in central Beijing. He really shouldn't have given those few pieces of fine fox fur to He Si'an, a rude warrior like that. That's it.

Jia Lian was thinking about getting some leather materials from the north to buy winter cloaks for everyone, when Lin Zhang, who was snuggling up in Jia Min's arms just now, moved over, with a pair of phoenix eyes that were exactly the same as Daiyu's. Turn around, staring at Jia Lian slyly but not speaking.

Jia Lian's two dynasties are people who can hold grandchildren together, and he loves such a little baby who still smells of milk, but Lin Zhang is afraid of life and wants to get close to him, so he hugs him affectionately and coaxes him He said: "Brother Zhang, do you still remember me? The second elder brother Lian who often writes to you. It doesn't matter if you don't remember. After a few days you settle down, I will take you to have a good time in Beijing. The scenery here is very similar to that of Yangzhou." It's different, and it's not the same as the places you saw on the road, as long as you like it."

Lin Zhang just showed a small smile, hugged Jia Lian's neck very affectionately, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Second Brother Lian, why did you give my sister all kinds of interesting gadgets, There are also the rare treasures brought by foreigners across the ocean. To me, they are the four treasures of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone of the study. Even printing a zizi requires Wenqu Xingkui. Is it because my father beats too many hands and wants to ask for it from me? account?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhang hurriedly twisted his limbs and crawled back to Jia Min. Jia Min slapped him on the back and reprimanded him for being unruly, but he was still smiling, holding Jia Min's arm, smiling and looking at Jia Lian, and said loudly: " I want to learn how to ride a horse from my cousin! My cousin nodded just now!" While saying that, she also acted coquettishly and shamelessly, causing Jia Min to glare at Jia Lian angrily.

Jia Lian suddenly felt dumbfounded.This brat is really weird, it's no wonder that he has developed so many thoughts and courage at such a young age, he teased and laughed at him as a cousin, and he didn't forget to play tricks, making him bow his head in order to hear clearly It was said to be a promise, and the thick-skinned one could be scraped off and mounted on the window.

Glancing at his aunt's helpless expression, Jia Lian rubbed his nose resentfully, thinking about how hard Uncle Lin had been in disciplining this little devil king, he felt at ease again, and agreed to Lin Zhang's nonsense, and helped Persuaded: "Don't worry, aunt. Although my cousin is a good seed for studying and studying, shooting and hunting is also a must for young brothers and masters. It strengthens the body and sharpens the will. No one accompanied me in Jiangnan before. Cousin, don’t you still have me now? I happened to teach my cousin how to ride a horse when I was taking a bath. Then I will teach him how to ride, surrounded by servants, and pick a docile filly. You can just wait for my cousin to give it to me in a few years You can hunt rabbits and add vegetables."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lin Zhang looking over with both surprise and joy. He probably didn't expect him to help talk about Xiang. There was a bit of embarrassment in his eyes, as if he felt a little guilty for the previous mischief. Jia Lian smiled slightly and looked at Lin Zhang. Blinking his eyes, he was like a big brother, very reliable and magnanimous, in exchange for Lin Zhang's big smiling face, but he sighed leisurely in his heart.Cousin Lin is still too young. How can he not be scolded or punished by his master?If you have less experience, you just don't know the dangers in the world.

When Jia Min was in Yangzhou, she was worried that her youngest son would become shy and introverted without the company of suitable people. Now Jia Lian was willing to play with Lin Zhang. But Yu couldn't help looking back and forth between her cousin and younger brother several times, frowning thinly, always feeling that something was wrong, and couldn't help giving Lin Zhang an angry look, making a big grimace directly.

The Lin family had traveled long distances for more than a month, and at this moment they were exhausted. Jia Lian talked with everyone for a while, and after sending everyone to the Lin family's house in Beijing, he left and returned home, so as not to let Lin Hai Jia Min had to bear the fatigue to greet him.

Although Lin Hai and his wife were reluctant to part with him, but Lin Haiming'er was about to enter the palace to face the saint, and Jia Min wanted to quickly tidy up the house and bring his belongings so that he could walk around with others. After a few words of advice, he agreed on a day to visit Rongguo Mansion, and then Let him go.The person who hated Jia Lian the most became Lin Zhang, holding in his hand the great holy mask that Jia Lian told Xing'er to run out to buy when he was queuing to enter the city, and waved his tender little hand reluctantly.

As soon as Jia Lian returned to the mansion, he was surrounded by boys guarding the door, saying that it was the old lady who invited the second master to come over.He nodded, and casually tossed a purse stuffed with copper coins, which attracted a lot of looting from the boys. Looking back, Xing'er and Wang'er went home to see their daughter-in-law, and hummed a little tune by themselves.

As soon as he entered the upper room, the room was really crowded with all the masters, big and small, except for his father who always looked naked and hugged the antique baby, even his second uncle Jia Zheng sat at the head of the old lady and drank tea solemnly. Baoyu was so frightened that he almost shrank into the old lady's arms.

Jia Lian couldn't help but click her tongue, thinking that it was really her uncle who was still alive who could save the face of the snobs in this mansion, but he still had a smile on his face, and went to salute Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Xing Wang. , Before Jiamu could speak, she took the initiative to report: "The grandson has already accompanied my aunt's family to the Lin Mansion, and my uncle will go to the palace tomorrow to meet the saint. The grandson thought that the old ancestor was also anxiously waiting, so he came back first. Auntie I have already said that once they settle down, they will bring their cousins ​​to greet you."

Jia Lian had a smile on his face, and he was very close to Lin's family, he could not say that he was talking happily with Lin Hai. Jia Zheng coughed lightly and put down the tea cup, and was about to go back to the study to tell the clean-up guests to come, when Jia's mother feigned anger and said: " You monkey, you are all officials, and you are so unreliable in your work. The house of the Lin family has been unoccupied for many years, and your uncle and aunt just came back to Beijing. It must be difficult to get anywhere, so you should Wouldn’t it be cheaper to ask them to come back and live in our mansion first, everything is well-prepared? At that time, it will be tidied up slowly over there, and it will be convenient to move back. "

Seeing Jia's mother teaching Jia Lian, Jia Zheng turned a corner when he said what he said, and he was not in a hurry to leave. He nodded and stroked his well-maintained beard. Yes, Lian'er, although you have made some progress now, you should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and listen to the elders more to benefit yourself."

As long as Jia Zheng doesn't open his mouth and keep his mouth shut, Jia Lian is very patient with him. I took back the words I planned to teach Baoyu, and left here following Jia Mu's words to drive people away.

Just now Jia Baoyu got out of Jia Mu's arms like a monkey, and sat down on the edge of the couch with his legs hanging down. Because of his excellent health, such a loose posture was actually pleasing to the eye.Mrs. Wang wanted to reprimand him, but Jia's mother gave him a faint glance, which made him more courageous.

Jia Baoyu sneaked a glance at this cousin who usually made him despise and inexplicably fear, and after a while, the curiosity in his heart still prevailed, and he asked loudly: "Second brother Lian, the cousin of the aunt's family was born with us. Brothers and sisters, do you look alike? Why didn’t you invite sister Lin to live with us? She is the only one in her house, so she must be very lonely, and the sisters were playing together when she came here. gone."

Jia Lian was originally smiling with gentleness and kindness, listening to Yingchun talking to him in a low voice, but now he heard that Baoyu had fallen in love with Sister Lin before they met, so he could not help but cast a cold glance at Baoyu, staring at Baoyu stiffly, as if nothing had happened. He turned his head and answered Yingchun's request in a low voice.

Baoyu wasn't sure whether he was dazzled or something had offended him. Just as he felt a little sad, Jia Lian turned around and answered him solemnly: "Cousin Lin has parents and brothers, so naturally she wants to have fun at her parents' knees, and she also wants to marry her." Caring for the younger brother as an elder sister, how can you just come to our house to benefit from it? If you love your cousins ​​and cousins, when they come to visit the old lady with their uncles and aunts, just come with me to treat Cousin Lin well."

Although I am convinced that Uncle Lin's 1 people don't like Baoyu's irresponsible temperament, and my aunt is also concerned about Mrs. Wang's behavior, she declined the old lady's offer to make her more intimate. Jia Lian still didn't want Baoyu to get too close to Sister Lin, so she just First draw the road, make up your mind that on the day when the Lin family members come to visit the mansion, you must drag Baoyu to the side of your uncle and cousin, so that Baoyu can be influenced by the scholarly family, and don't want to go to girls all day long. Get close.

As soon as Baoyu heard that he was going to accompany Lin's cousin, his face dropped.Uncle Lin has a high official position and is said to be a very sophisticated and sophisticated person. Cousin Lin has been enlightened as soon as he can walk. I heard that he has started to study the Four Books in the past two years. Reiki, what's the fun talking with such a person?

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and glanced at her mouth, she seemed to be a little disdainful, but her face softened a lot, and Jia Mu even smiled and praised Jia Lian for finally being a good brother.

Speaking of Jia's mother, Jia Lian was regarded as a top-notch child among her children and grandchildren, who was excellent in everything, and had a connection with the palace. Not loving enough, separated by a layer.It's rare that Jia Lian intends to accompany Baoyu in front of Uncle Lin this time. Why isn't she happy?

With Baoyu's character and appearance, there is no one who doesn't love anyone who meets him. When the time comes, let Uncle Lin take the school exam, and he can accept him as a disciple if he can't. When the time comes, his knowledge will improve, and his marriage with his granddaughter will also be good. Those who are close to the water will get the moon first, and they will be more harmonious.

Jia's mother was full of Baoyu's bright future, and Mrs. Wang was both happy and unhappy at the moment, but she didn't realize that there was something different in Jia Lian's smile towards Baoyu, so Yingchun looked carefully at it. After a while, Jia Lian cautiously took advantage of tea time to get far away.

Jia Lian smiled and glanced at the gentle and silent Yingchun, she had already made a long list in her heart, and was going to ask someone to pass a message to the second uncle and recommend some good books so that Baoyu could study hard and practice hard.
