The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian is still young and promising now, and he is one of the most handsome people in the noble family of Beijing. Even if he is not so respectful and filial, Jia's mother's attention to this grandson is only second to her lifeblood Jia Baoyu, and she has always been thinking about him. He wanted to choose a lady from the family as his wife.

After all, Jia Lian is in his twenties this year, so many people would run away at this age, but he is still alone, and there are a lot of discussions outside, some say that Jia Lian has a hidden disease, and some say that he restrained his wife so no one would dare Xu married, and that vile tongue-chewing, Hu Qin, what is it that the elders in their family are unkind, and they don't care about the incense and heirs.

Outsiders said it lightly, but they didn't know that they were worried about Jia Lian's marriage.Before the girl of the He family died suddenly, Jia's mother called Jia She to the upper room for questioning. Jia She said that it was not good for the girl, so she proposed marriage to Jia Lian.Later when Jia Lian left Beijing, Mother Jia also found a few families with similar families. The girl herself was virtuous and dignified, but she didn't want Jia She to always pick her nose and eyes, and anyone could say a lot of things that she didn't like. Just let go.Who told Jia She to be Jia Lian's father, and it would be useless without his nod?

At that time, Jia's mother was holding her breath, and she also wanted to wait and see what kind of father-in-law Jia She could find for Jia Lian, to see if she had the ability to let Jia Lian find a golden branch and jade leaf to come back to honor her ancestors, but she never expected that He would be waiting again. family.

When discussing marriage, they all found out clearly that He Shoubei has a daughter from the first line under his knees.That Miss He passed away. Could it be that the He family, looking at Jia Lian's success now, wanted to pick a girl from the side branch to marry to make up for it?Given Jia Lian's background and current official position, the legitimate daughter of the defending family is barely worthy, but the girl from the side branch is not worthy no matter how much dowry she has.

Jia's mother was worried that Jia She was used to being absurd, and she sold the eldest son's marriage for some money, and specially ordered Jia She to be sent for questioning. They don't have to worry too much about nothing, but they refuse to say a word, which makes Jiamu get angry again out of thin air, and orders him to get out.

Mother Jia would also like to ask if there is another girl in the He family who is still in her prime, but she has nowhere to start and no one to ask, so she can only suppress all kinds of speculation and watch Jia Amnesty order Mrs. Xing to prepare a banquet. seat, put on a look to greet the couch sweep.

On the day of Xiumu, He Shoubei came to the door with his youngest son, He Weian, and together with Jia She and Jia Lian and his son, had a good time in the east courtyard. After leaving the East Courtyard, Jia Mu and the others came back to their senses.

Sure enough, as soon as the He family left, Jia Amnesty came to the room with a sandalwood box to say hello, and Yingchun who came back with him bowed her head shyly and shyly. .

Seeing at a glance that Yingchun was combing her hair for the first time today, there was an exquisitely carved golden hairpin inserted obliquely on the hairpin. The pigeon blood inlaid on the hairpin was as red as the size of a thumb, so Jia Mu knew it. Shang smiled more and more lovingly, and took the initiative to ask: "You have also been tired all day, what can't you say tomorrow? Carefully exhausted your bones, it makes people worry."

Jia Shen hadn't heard such considerate and caring words from his own mother for many years, and he was a little stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he rolled his eyelids, and didn't respond to a smile, and directly talked about what he had prepared. Ci'er: "Today my son has a big happy event to report to the old lady. Lian'er was very good with the brothers of He Shoubei's family in Yunqing Prefecture when he was traveling in the north, so Master He gave them the young son of the fifth family. I fell in love with the second girl of our family, and this time I came to the door to ask the second girl to be my daughter-in-law. Both of us are military officers, so there is no need to pay attention to those sour rituals. The son has already made the decision, and the token of the He family has also been given, etc. In a few days, the official media will come to change Geng Tie, and this matter will be complete."

Jia Lian followed Jia Amnesty, seeing that his father didn't even give the old lady face at the moment, he felt helpless.When it's time to be tough, I have to be a turtle, and I have nothing to say about such an insignificant matter.

Mother Jia didn't expect that Jia Amnesty would not answer her words, the smile on her face froze for a moment, then she continued to praise as if nothing had happened, and then asked Amber to pick up the box and show it to her for a closer look.

The family background of the He family was well off, so the token given to the youngest son and daughter-in-law was naturally not shabby.

As soon as she looked at the token, Mother Jia knew that the He family valued Yingchun, or Jia Lian, and the smile on her face became wider, and she looked at Jia Lian with relief: "I look at this door. The marriage is very well matched. It is really a blessing for the second girl to have an elder brother like Lian'er. Now that this matter is settled, even though the second girl is still young and there are still several years before she gets married, the dowry should be prepared first Get up. The dowries of the girls have their own rules, and it is serious to open the warehouse first to find some good wood."

Later, this sentence was an order to Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing, who came to announce the good news with Jia Amnesty, hurriedly stood up and responded, and praised the young master of the He family. Occasionally, when she glanced at the Bodhisattva-like Mrs. Wang, her eyes were full. Brightly showing off and mocking.Upbringing a daughter is said to be the aunt's job. Right now, Yingchun has got a decent marriage first. Mrs. Wang's own daughter has been trapped in the palace for many years without earning a living, and no one cares about her concubine daughter. She is called Mrs. Xing How unhappy.

Mrs. Xing is so undisguised, and Mrs. Wang is not blind, how can she not feel it, she can only secretly curse a villain.She really didn't expect that bastard Jia Lian to attract so much attention in the outside world, her own daughter was suppressed to death, and she insisted on marrying her, and she didn't know what the military officer who was born in a barren land took a fancy to Jia Lian.

Jia Mugao sat at the head, and naturally had a panoramic view of the eyebrows and lawsuits of Mrs. Xing Wang. She laughed in her heart that the two elders still only competed for trivial matters at their age, and they were lazy in disciplining and restraining them. Er Yin turned back to Jia Lian: "Today the boss and his wife are both here, and I have something to say to the old lady who is annoying. Brother Lan is enlightened, and the second girl, the younger sister, has a place to go. Lian'er is the most beloved among brothers and sisters, why is it lost in your hands? You don't want to take Joe in his marriage, you must let the child have someone who knows hot and cold."

Given Jia Lian's age and not having a family yet, it can indeed be regarded as the dereliction of duty of Jia She and Mrs. Xing as parents.

Mrs. Xing blushed and did not dare to speak, and she did not dare to compete with Mrs. Wang any more, she complained bitterly to Jia She in her heart.How many times did she bring up Lian'er's marriage, and every time she provoked Jia She to scold her, and if she was not allowed to interfere, now she would be forced to be ostracized by the old lady.

When Jia Amnesty heard about this, she was not very angry, so she turned her head and gave Jia Lian a vicious look.Everyone felt that it was him, the old man, who delayed his son, but they didn't understand that it was this evil bastard who had hardened his wings and became wild, and ignored him at all, and asked him to help cover it up when he turned around.

Before, after hearing the gossip outside, he was also angry, slapped Jia Lian on the table and yelled at him, asking him what kind of wife he wanted to marry back. , People like them have absolutely no reason not to marry a wife and have children.

At that time, Jia Lian's brat didn't have a playful smile on his face, but he thought about it for a long time, and only gave "like-minded" four nonsensical words, which made him fall back in anger, thinking that Jia Lian was prevaricating indiscriminately, swearing and swearing Regardless of this nonsense, but later, when he was not in the mansion, he sent someone to bring the girl next to Jia Lian to interrogate him.

At that time, he suspected that Jia Lian had walked off the dry road or that he really had a hidden disease, so he interrogated the person, knowing that Jia Lian had been changing clothes every now and then, and he was really innocent with the boys and maids, so he let go of the matter muttering. , thinking to himself that this evil obstacle really broke his mind.That is to say, the old man doesn't care about his reputation, otherwise he would have hit the board earlier and let this brat lie on the bed for ten days and a half months to wake up his mind.

After receiving Jia Amnesty's slap in the face, Jia Lian felt embarrassed, and couldn't help but took a step forward, taking Jia's mother's words: "The old ancestors have wrongly blamed the master and wife. The master and wife are very compassionate. My son's marriage took a lot of effort, but the fate has not come, there are always some unsatisfactory things, so it was delayed. Speaking of it, it is more of my own fault."

Mother Jia waved her hands when she heard this, and cut off Jia Lian's words, and retorted: "Nonsense, you little people don't know the seriousness, they should be disciplined as old people. Marriage is a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words." , if they allow you to act willfully, then you should blame them both. I am old, and I can't surpass them to be your master, but I can't just watch you at your age and have no one in the house. "

If it is said that Jia Mu's opening words still occupy righteousness and teach her children and grandchildren, the last sentence shows her own selfishness.How could Jia Lian not understand that he was waiting for him here after talking so much before, and his complexion immediately sank.

Jia Mu was still smiling, pretending that she didn't see Jia Lian's ugly face, so she asked someone to bring up the newly dressed Hu Po, and said lovingly: "The girls in my room, Hu Po is a top-notch girl. She is also good at needlework, so you can take her home and let her be a housemate, so I can rest assured that there will be people who know what's cold and what's hot in the future."

Even though she had secretly promised Jia Lian a long time ago, Hu Po was still an unmarried girl. When she heard that the old lady wanted to give her to Jia Lian in a fair and just way, she blushed a long time ago, lowered her head and dared not speak, her body Instead, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jia Mu and Jia Lian respectively.

Ever since Jia Lian came back from Ping'an Prefecture, Mother Jia had noticed that Hu Po had a heart-wrenching heart, and she knew all about Hu Po's fawning over the big house and her frequent visits to Jia Lian and Yingchun's brother and sister's room. An infatuation prevented it from happening for a long time.Anyway, there is Xiren and Qingwen in Baoyu's room, and it is also reasonable for her to reward Jia Lian with an amber.When Amber really enters Jia Lian's yard, it may not be certain who to send the news to.
