The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Originally, the Xue Wang family wanted to carefully check the account books of various places in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the major shops and businesses in Jinling City, but when they were disturbed by the matter of monks and Taoists, they canceled their previous plan and prepared to pack up the money. Then set off as soon as possible.

Because of the need to raise more living money and the urgent matter, Xue Wang not only gave the two tea estates in Hangzhou to other people, but also handed over a tea mountain to Zhen Yingjia's second son at a low price. I only hope that when their family goes to the capital, the foundation in the south of the Yangtze River will be taken care of more.

Even though the Jinling Governor and the Zhen family are not of the same mind, the Zhen family has run two generations in the south of the Yangtze River, and the father and son are the emperor's confidantes. It is not a problem to take care of a Xue family. Xia readily agreed to the matter and promised to suppress other merchants for the Xue family.

Being able to get the Zhen family's right words, Xue's family was naturally very happy. After thinking about it, Xue Wang sent Xue Pan out to show solemnity, and asked him to go there to hand over the land lease to the Zhen family.Of course, because of Xue Pan's temperament of causing trouble everywhere, Xue Wang sent several other reliable stewards who had accumulated many years to accompany him, and even told him face to face for several days, wishing to teach him the principles of life again.

Although Xue Pan was impatient, he was still fooling around. During the few days in Hangzhou, he was very honest. Apart from accompanying Master Zhen, he seldom went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, so he settled the matter smoothly. It made the old family members who followed me feel relieved, and only felt that the master's family still had hope in the future.

Unexpectedly, they only sent a message to go back, saying that everything went well on this trip, and the uncle was very well behaved outside, Xue Pan, who had been honest for more than half a month, caused a disaster on the way back.

It turned out that Xue Pan left home this time, intending to take advantage of the absence of his mother and sister, so that he could experience the fragrance of Hangzhou City and the beauty of spring.It's a pity that I don't know which gods I have collided with. He is an old hand who doesn't care about meat and vegetables. He has been in Hangzhou for so many days. Apart from being in a slump, I didn't have much fun.

He came here in high spirits but returned disappointed. Seeing that he would no longer be happy as soon as he stepped into Jinling City, Xue Pan was very unhappy on the way back.The master put on a face every day, and the few confidants who were always happy started to act like monsters in order to get rewards.While the old stewards were not paying attention, they really got their hands on them. They led Xue Pan into the secret door of a good woman several times, and he really won the Qiaozong and got a lot of rewards.

After Xue Pan had enjoyed this different kind of fun, he couldn't let it go for a while, and when he was approaching Jinling City, he found various excuses to lead his servants around.That day, he was so lucky that he caught a glimpse of a real girl from a good family on the street. At that time, he couldn't even move his feet, so he asked the servants around him to inquire.

Because the girl was beautiful and refined, and the rouge between her eyebrows was very eye-catching. The servants of the Xue family found out her name without much effort. They also knew from the ruffians in Xianhan Street that there was no male in this girl's family. , the only old mother who depended on each other for life, Dian Dian'er went back to announce the good news.

Xue Pan felt satisfied after hearing this.He has always believed that he has a few bad money, so there is nothing to settle.The little girl gave birth to delicate skin and tender meat, and there was only one old mother in the family. How would the mother and daughter spend their money?It is necessary to ask a master like him to rescue the suffering.Immediately, he didn't ask anyone to ask any more questions, so he just asked the boy to come to the door with the silver, saying that he would take a good concubine for the uncle of Xue's family in Jinling, and he came in the evening to take her away.

This family is none other than Zhen Shiyin's wife and daughter who were rescued by Jia Lian when he came to Jinling for the exam.Miss Zhen, formerly named Yinglian, has been renamed Zhen Zhen by Jia Lian, and she lives thriftily and frugally with her mother, Zhen Feng, guarding the money and land left by Jia Lian.

She was going out that day to exchange needles and thread for some money to support the family, and the little girl beside her was also left at home to help, but she did not expect to meet Xue Pan's master and servant.Even if she felt something was wrong and immediately hid in the crowd, the news from her family was sold to Xue's family by the street thugs who took money, causing such an innocent disaster.

Mrs. Feng had already made a marriage arrangement for Zhen Zhen before, and she would marry her to a scholar in Lin County when she turned 15 years old.The two of them are both talented and beautiful, and the young scholar asked someone to deliver some things to the mother and daughter of the Zhen family from time to time after seeing each other for the first time, such as seasonal fruits and vegetables, fashionable small jewelry materials, every now and then. There are a few poems in neat and handsome handwriting, which shows full sincerity.

With such a congenial fiancé-in-law, Zhen Zhen would not want her to be a concubine, not to mention that the servants of the Xue family wanted her to be a concubine.

After going through all kinds of ups and downs of being abducted and trafficked when she was young, and the mother and daughter relying on Mrs. Jia En to keep the family business, Zhen Zhen's gentle temperament is also filled with tenacity. A pair of freshly sharpened scissors.

That little servant has been by Xue Pan's side since he was a child, and You Qi is such a bastard.Seeing that the Zhen family did not have a mature man to guard him, and Zhen Zhen was born out of the world, his eyes were particularly lewd when he spoke, and he always looked at Zhen Zhen's body. There is no one who is unwilling to go to the girl, and it is clear that she wants to grab it.

Zhen Zhen didn't speak, and pointed the scissors directly at her own neck when the servant was pacing over, and directly poked a bloody gash, so frightened that no one dared to take a step forward, for fear that she would really kill herself .If this beautiful aunt died, wouldn't the master who was waiting scratching his head tear him alive?He stopped persuading Zhen Zhen too much, turned his head and ran back to report the letter.

When Xue Pan heard that Miss Zhen was so strong, she flinched a little at first.Since he was eleven or twelve years old, he has been interested in the affairs of men and women, and most of them are willing to throw themselves into his arms. If he robs a good house for a little girl who is about to grow up, he will definitely be scolded when he returns home.But when the people around him urged him, he felt that it was no big deal.However, when she scolded and changed to Mei Jiao'e, sometimes it was beneficial, she still brought someone to knock on the door after sunset.

Zhen Zhen had made up her mind to die as early as when the servants of Xue's family came to her door.After hearing someone yelling at the door, she kowtowed to Jia Engong's longevity tablet with her tearful mother, and went out with the scissors.Even if their small family can't shake a big tree like the Xue family, she will always feel sick of them when she dies.

In the end, before Zhen Zhen committed suicide, Sun Xiaoxiucai, who was betrothed to her, ran up with a few close classmates holding sticks, and loudly reprimanded everyone in the Xue family for their evil deeds.Sun Xiaoxiucai ran all the way and even lost one of his shoes, his eyes were red with anxiety, staring at Xue Pan who had brought people to block the door of Zhen's house, wishing he could eat his flesh alive.

They were just a few poor scholars, Xue Pan didn't pay attention to them, but he didn't expect the soldiers patrolling the street to follow them.The leading guard didn't even pay back the money that Xue's boy stuffed, and drove away everyone in a business-like manner, and really treated Li, rich and poor equally.

Xue Pan was ashamed and annoyed, he didn't dare to embarrass the servants in the street, he only planned to break into the door and rob people later, and it would be better to beat the scholar to death, but he didn't expect that the sesame and mung bean officials here were so bold that they were invited by the scholars. He sent a yamen servant, and at the same time went to Zhen Erye to report the news.Second Master Zhen heard that the mother and daughter had been favored by the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing, and that the family still had the longevity tablet of the young master of the Jia family, so he pushed the concubine in his arms and came to talk to Xue Pan. When he stopped, his face was also very ugly.

Although Xue's family made a lot of money for them, the dignified Zhen's family did not have a lot of offerings from this family.Ken promised the Xue family that Zhen Yingjia and his son still valued the Xue family's two in-laws in Beijing.When Jia Lian was about to pass the county examination, Zhen Yingjia betrothed his beloved daughter to him, which shows the meaning of appreciation and support.Now that Jia Lian is soaring into the sky, even if the two families fail to get married, the Zhen family doesn't have any ties to him, instead they always think about reconnecting with each other.

Since the mother and daughter of the Zhen family had a relationship with Jia Lian, and even the local officials knew a thing or two, the Zhen family did not want to cause more trouble out of love and reason.When Second Master Zhen spoke, Xue Pan stopped, no matter how unwilling he was, and led them away sullenly.After returning home to discuss with Zhen Yingjia, Second Master Zhen informed Jia Lian of the matter in a secret letter to show his sincerity.

As for Zhen Zhen's family, after a day of shock, Mrs. Feng was so sick that she couldn't get up, and regardless of her daughter's young age, she invited the village elders and wanted to arrange the marriage for the two children first.Sun Xiaoxiu had no relatives, so after getting married, he simply moved his wife and mother-in-law there, and lived an intimate life, only waiting for a few years older to consummate the house, that's another story.

When the letter from the Zhen family was delivered to Jia Lian, he had already taken over the secret mission to track down the scarlet monk and the lame Taoist.These days, he has to finish the repairs to Prince Zhongshun's mansion on the bright side, and he has to teach Lin Zhang how to ride and shoot when he is resting.

Mother Jia was not worried, but as before, she resolutely did not mention Jia Lian's incident. Even Lai Mammy said because of her lack of tone when speaking in private, "It's not a good sign that Second Master Lian is so careless about marriage." , and she was ashamed, and she was so ashamed that she didn't show up for several days. Later, it was Jia's mother who asked Lai's daughter-in-law and gave her a ladder, so Lai Momo came out again.

Nanny Lai didn't try to please her, and the others naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense. Earlier, she thought that Yingchun was going to be unlucky and neglected her kitchen steward. After thinking about it, she made dim sum for ten days without repeating the same thing. Send it over, lest someone will settle accounts after autumn.After all, losing face is a small matter, but losing face is a major matter.

While Jia Lian was discussing the business, he also mentioned a sentence in the letter to the big shopkeepers in several places in the south of the Yangtze River, asking people to add some makeup to the girl of Zhen's family, and wrote another letter to Zhen Yingjia's residence in Jinling, agreeing frankly. For the connection with the mother and daughter of the Zhen family, I thank Erye Zhen for his generous help.
