The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Although Mrs. Wang is angry that these vicious men have hooked up all the good men, she also knows that no matter whether it is true or not, it is really ugly that there is something wrong with the old man and the girl in the son's room. stop.

It's a pity that the servants of Rongguo Mansion are not so easy to manage, they are all very courageous, Tweety and the others have already fed a few veterans with money, so they can naturally find out everything.

Cui'er sneered when Jia Lian heard about it, and while serving Jia Lian's clean face with a handkerchief, she also laughed softly: "We all think that the charming person should have nothing to do with the second master, but Aunt Zhao's temperament is not good. Tough and frizzy, don't you turn your face when you see a charming woman serving the second master's pen and ink in the inner study? It's also because you have been favored recently that you are so bold."

Jia Lian just laughed. He is a nephew, so it's not easy to comment on his uncle's rear house.However, my second uncle, Jia Zheng, has always regarded himself as a gentleman and regarded the sages and sages as his standard. In the backyard, the ones who are favored in the backyard are all charming, charming, aggressive and unruly Aunt Zhao. very interested.

As for why a master from a family background let the girl in his son's room serve the pen and ink, only Jia Zheng understood in his heart.

If it is said that there is really nothing in the heart, this is too deceptive.

After thinking for a while, Jia Lian put down the handkerchief and then said: "You guys should keep quiet these days, just stay in the yard and do needlework for me, and those who run errands and deliver things will pick some unsightly little girls. It attracts people's eyes."

It doesn't matter how the second room is, but the old lady picked this girl for Baoyu herself, and she really slapped the old lady on the face for such a disgraceful thing.Since the death of Mrs. Tai, the old lady has been the No. 1 female family member in the inner house, and now she is the ancestor of the two houses. She hasn't lost such a big face in many years, how can she not be angry.

The old lady and the second wife were all annoyed, and all the maids and women in the mansion had to tighten their skin a little bit.He was not popular these days, and the big girls in the yard were all outstanding-looking and lively, so it would be a big loss for someone to stare at him as a raft.

Knowing that Jia Lian was doing this for their own good, Cui'er and the others hurriedly responded respectfully, and then jokingly said: "The beauties and elder sisters in Master Zhu's room dare not go out, and they said they wanted to make some big clothes for Master Zhu. Autumn wear, how can we go out? Although we are a little clumsy, it is not easy for the second master to always wear the needlework of the embroiderer outside. Besides, it is hot and sunny, and it is really nice to be able to stay in the yard and do needlework It's the second master who loves us."

In fact, Jia Lian didn't say anything, they didn't have the guts to wander around the mansion recently.The old ladies and wives are unhappy, can they still vent their anger on the girl next to them?They are slaves in the small east courtyard who don't rely on both ends, so they should be more careful.

Seeing that they knew the seriousness in their hearts, Jia Lian put the matter aside, ate some chicken shredded cold noodles with hot tea one night, and went to his small study to do some writing.

The Four Books and Five Classics can be unintelligible, but the writing is human skin. He couldn't bear this kind of hardship. His handwriting has a shape but no strength of character.

His copybook still has the words that the sixth prince laughed at him face to face, and he had the cheek to ask for everyone's original handwriting.Rongguo Mansion did not lack these things, but if they were not in the treasury, they were at Second Uncle Jia Zhu's. Jia Lian really didn't bother to ask for them, lest they use it to take money to teach him.Begging with the sixth prince, one is willing to give and the other is willing to take, and it is even more intimate.

Jia Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief after about an hour, and put the pen on the brush washer. Xing'er Wanger, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, hurried in to say hello, both of them looked happy. look like.

Rubbing his sore and swollen wrists, Jia Lian smiled and took the hot towel from Xing'er's dog-legged hands and put it on, then leaned on the back of the chair and asked lazily: "Are you here to be thieves? Give me your waist." Second master, I straightened it out. Seeing you two bastards are shaking, I think the master likes it?"

Xing'er nodded again and again, thought for a while, and ran to Jia Lian's side to squeeze his shoulders, flattering him: "The two Xiujuan and Xiuli are really a good pair, good-looking and flattering, the master likes it when he sees him." The little ones said that the second master specially found it for the master outside, and the master was so happy that he praised the second master, and the younger ones got this amount alone. The money is worth it, and the face is hard to come by. This is all thanks to the second master luck."

Xing'er didn't hide any secrets, even though there were only Jia Amnesty in the study at that time, and two female operas who had already dressed up as good families, He and Wang'er, he still showed it to Jia Lian as a comparison.

Seeing Xing'er's hand gesture, Jia Lian knew that these two actors had been sent to Jia She's heart.He had promised those two actresses before that as long as they could hold Jia She close for three to five years, Jia She would not be allowed to use their power to bully and threaten their lives. The future of the children they gave birth to would be determined by him. , no matter how bad it is to have all the food and clothing for a lifetime.I just hope they don't disappoint him.

"My son gave me a maid, where did I get such good fortune?"

Jia Lian sneered, feeling very absurd in his heart.If the ancestors are alive in heaven, they are afraid that they will be swallowed again by their unworthy descendants.It was just a bad idea.

Here Xing'er pinched Jia Lian's shoulders, while Wang'er stood obediently for a while with his hands tied. Seeing that Jia Lian had no other orders for the time being, he went to the table to pack up.

Jia Lian looked Xing'er and Wang'er back and forth for a while, then suddenly asked: "Our family's serious in-laws, the Lin family's aunts and aunts who went to Yangzhou with their family, do you all know?"

Xing'er Wang'er was startled when he heard the words, and then nodded together.The aunt is the old lady's direct daughter, and the two families have been moving around constantly. That is to say, the aunt and the aunt went to Yangzhou to take office in the past few years, so there is less communication. The etiquette is dear.

The old people in the family often talk about the style of my aunt when she was at home in the past, saying that even a lucky girl is not as good as her aunt before she enters the palace. female.

There are some words that are much more ugly.Not only the aunt was arranged, but even the aunt was lost.

Xing'er and Wang'er looked respectful when they heard about the Lin family. Jia Lian knew in his heart that this was because the Jia family hadn't been completely suppressed by the Wang family, and the old lady was far more useful in the back house than the second wife. In the next year, the maids and servants at home will change their appearance.

It is true that the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

Jia Lian lowered her eyes, put the cold handkerchief on the table on the table, and said in a deep voice: "I remember that Xing'er's godmother is an old man who serves in the old lady's yard? She has a lot of friendship with Lai Nanny." Wang’er’s father and mother used to be in the east courtyard. In addition to going out with me, you should first inquire about the affairs of the aunt’s house these days. Listen."

Wang'er readily agreed, but Xing'er felt a little troubled, he hesitated for a while, and asked hesitantly: "But second master, then Lai Mammy is not easy to fool, she always asks about the second master's yard through my mother." Well, when the time comes, the little one will always say something..."

"For example, where did your second master find two girls to come back to serve as envoys to your grand master? What did you say to the grand master, why don't you just copy it to Nanny Lai?"

Of course Jia Lian understood what Xinger said, so he gave Xinger a look with a smile, and asked, "Will the wolves catch your usual cleverness? I don't even know what to say or not to say?"

If you don't know this, Jia Lian's peach-blossom eyes are as calm as a deep pool, looking at Xing'er from head to toe: "What's the use of your second master raising you year after year?"

Seeing that the two young servants were hanging their heads and dared not speak anymore, Jia Lian stood up, stretched his shoulders and neck, and gave them a little sweetness: "An Xin has done what the Lord ordered, and when the time comes, it will not only be money, but also money." I have communicated with any girl in the yard, and I will help you to arrange it, and keep it decent."

After hearing this, Xing'er was okay, but Wang'er immediately became overjoyed, swallowed his saliva and boldly asked: "Second, Second Lord, even the sisters around you can do it too?"

Wang'er was interested in Yiren, and Jia Lian had already seen it. Although he felt that Cui'er and Wang'er were more compatible in temperament, he had to like it to be reconciled, so he let them go.

Unexpectedly, Wang'er, who is usually the dullest and naive, would be so courageous this time.Jia Lian laughed and nodded: "As long as you can make people think of you, the second master will fulfill you. When the time comes, one of you will do business with me, and I will not lose you."

Wang'er's eyes lit up with what he said, as if he wanted to go home tonight and tell his wife.

After instructing Xing'er and Wang'er a few words to be cautious, Jia Lian went back to the house to rest, but the lights in Rongxi hall and the upper room were lit until midnight again, and even a rare gift of filial piety was given to Jia's mother. Jia She, who had increased his appetite, was inexplicably reprimanded.If it weren't for the two warm words of Xiuli and Xiujuan, the Elder Master would inevitably suffer from headaches for several days.

As for Aunt Zhao and the big girl who caused the trouble, one of them was diagnosed as pregnant, and for the sake of the offspring, she was just detained in the yard to have a baby, and the other was manipulated into a raft.

Mother Jia ignored her, and Mrs. Wang's anger was directed at Meiren, saying that she didn't wait until dawn, so she gagged and handed her over to Ren Yazi.

The women watching Jiaomen collected ten taels of silver before voicing the news. As for the face, it was Baoyu's big girl, charming, who stumbled and knocked her head, and moved out to raise her.

Except that Baoyu cried a few days later when she heard that Meiren had gone to high fever, the incident passed quietly.The servants of Jia Mu and the second wife and two families all kept their mouths shut, and occasionally they would only say some unclear words when they mentioned it.

After disposing of the charming, the seat of the eldest girl next to Baoyu became vacant. Mrs. Wang originally wanted to send an older girl beside her, but in the end she was suppressed by Jiamu's filial piety and failed to do so.Jia's mother had just been slapped in the face by the charmer, and she was not in a hurry to pick another big girl for Baoyu.Anyway, Baoyu was kept in the green gauze closet beside her, and the maids around her would help take care of Baoyu from time to time, so it was okay to take care of it first.

After hearing these things, Jia Lian dropped his hands.Busy with inquiring about the news, sorting out the secret property of the Sixth Prince, coaxing his father, and reading and writing, Jia Lian felt that he had no skills at all.

After ten days, Jia Lian just came back from seeing the sixth prince outside, when he heard that his wife had sent someone to pick up the eldest daughter of the Shi family, and she had placed her in the green gauze cupboard to live with Baoyu.

Cui'er was not feeling well, so she replaced Yiyun to meet Jia Lian.Yiyun dipped the handkerchief into the copper basin held by the little girl, and said softly: "Mother Zhou next to the second wife said that she would send Miss Shi back after Baoyu's birthday. I don't think so. The old lady is very special." He specially selected two second-class maids to serve Miss Shi, and even opened a small storehouse to pick things for Miss Shi, it seems that she lived there for a month or so."

Mother Jia felt sorry for this grand-niece, and when she received a battle, it was not small, she was giving things and picking people, and there was a lot of discussion among the people below, and there was such a good thing that she compared the eldest daughter of the Shi family with her own eldest daughter who entered the palace, saying There is everything.

Jia Lian hummed, and it took a while to realize that among the two girls the old lady picked for Shi Xiangyun, one was Hua Xiren who later followed Baoyu and married Jiang Yuhan.Brother Feng'er and Ping'er's master and servant also mentioned it back then.

"Since you have already picked it up, you should go and ask your wife what gift is prepared there, and give me a copy after you come back to consider. In the future, there will be various things from the second sister, and also from the cousin of the Shi family. Just treat them the same." Can."

The second girl, Yingchun, lost her aunt when she was born, and now she is still raised in the wing room of Mrs. Xing's courtyard. The nurses and nurses have not yet given birth to a crooked slave who bullies the master because he is an upright man who sends girls to inquire from time to time. Heart.

If it is to please Jia's mother, it is natural to be more devoted to Shi Xiangyun than Yingchun.But Yingchun is Jia Lian's own sister, even if she is a concubine, she is much closer than Shi Xiangyun.Jia Lian didn't expect Jia's mother to live, and it was his grandson's filial piety to treat her as one.

Yiren responded in a low voice, and then replied with a slight smile: "Why do you need the second master to give orders in person, then we are all made of wood. Sister Cui'er sent someone early in the morning to ask, at this moment, the little girls It should be all ready, but those things are left, Second Master, do you want to take a look at them later?"

"No need, you have always handled things properly, and you sent them directly to the knot. If you opened the cloth and clothes box, you would each pick some to make clothes to wear. You can discuss with Tweety about how to divide them. Everyone in the yard has them."

Jia Lian didn't care much about the historians, so he didn't take Shi Xiangyun too seriously. He also rewarded the maids and sat down to drink tea and rest.Today he met with the Sixth Prince and Mr. Li, the Sixth Prince's aide. They had been planning for a whole day, and now they are relaxed and feel very tired.

Seeing Jia Lian's tired face, Yiren was a little hesitant about what to say, or Jia Lian saw her face when he wanted to refill tea, and asked, "What else?"

"It's not a big deal," Yiren felt a little ashamed when he saw that he had delayed his errand, and told Jia Lian about the matter while pouring tea: "My natal uncle has been helping to send chariots and horses for the past few days. I heard that the second wife just Send people to Li's house to give presents, and tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will ask the decent men in the mansion to go there for Uncle Zhu, and the wedding will be held in autumn."

Naturally, Jia Lian is the only decent man in this mansion who can go out and do errands.
