Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

On this day, the gate of the Rong Mansion opened wide, from the gate to the inner gate, all red lanterns cleared the way, Jia Lian waited at the gate of the mansion, followed by servants and maids lined up with wild goose wings.

In front of the hanging flower gate, Sister Feng is leading the spring greetings, and behind her, the girl and mother-in-law spread out two wild goose wings.

The Rong Mansion used the most noble etiquette to welcome the distinguished guests from the two mansions.

This time, the banquet for the male guests was still held in the Rongxi Hall, while the banquet for the female guests was held in the Daylily Hall.Although the Rongxi Hall is still occupied by the Second Household, the Wang family is on the verge of life and death right now, so no one can force them to move at this time.

Moreover, Jia She made it clear that he liked the elegant scenery of Huayuanzi and was unwilling to move back to Rongxitang.

Jia Lian has not yet accepted the title, so it is not suitable to live in Rongxi Hall, but it is just right to live in Daylily Hall.

Jia Lian's forcing Jia Zheng to move at this moment is considered mean, but Jia Lian's retreat shows that he is broad-minded and tolerant.Let Uncle Zhang and Prince Tengju give him a high look.I think this child can be taught!

On the contrary, Jia Zheng, a person who relies on and refuses to move, is annoying.

This is really a blessing in disguise!

However, Wang Ziteng, like Jia Zheng, relied on the merits of his ancestors to become an official. The reason why Wang Ziteng is better than Jia Zheng is that he started as a guard in the inner court, and he was a close minister of the emperor when he debuted. One-handed case-solving skills.

Wang Ziteng won the emperor's favor in the inner court. He was transferred from the inner court guard to the deputy general of Xishan, and then the general was promoted all the way. Later, because he helped solve a strange case, the emperor took a fancy to his ability to solve the case, and was transferred again to the inspector's office. The deputy capital censor, because of repeatedly solving strange cases in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was promoted steadily, and was worshiped as a first-rank official. Now he also serves as the minister of guards, a powerful official.

Uncle Zhang took the road of imperial examinations. He was a Jinshi with two rankings, and he was a county magistrate. With his political achievements, he worked through his qualifications step by step. He returned to Beijing and started as a bachelor, and now he is a prince and a tutor.Although it is a false title, he is a close minister of the emperor. The emperor consults on political affairs on a daily basis, which is equivalent to participating in political affairs, even if he is half a prime minister.

Wang Ziteng likes scholars, but Zhang's uncle looks down on meritorious families, and has always kept these people at a respectful distance.Before, they both worked in the palace as errands, but they respected each other like 'ice', and the well water does not violate the river water.However, from now on, because of Jia Lian, the two of them will probably be able to find a subtle point of support.

In an intriguing palace, many friends are better than many enemies. Uncle Zhang and Wang Ziteng toasted and smiled, tacit understanding.

The atmosphere on the side of the female relatives is much warmer.

Because everyone is surrounded by the common darling Feng Bao, Sister Feng can read words and talk, and today there is no Mother Jia present, Sister Feng let go of her heart and made witty remarks, which only made the old lady of the Zhang family laugh constantly.

Mrs. Zhang's family discussed with the two wives of Wang's family about Sister Feng: "Why is the old lady biased? According to me, she is biased towards our niece and daughter-in-law. Look at this mouth. I am so happy to die. Who would be willing to let her Wronged!"

The second wife of Wang has accumulated a lot of bitterness because of the Wang family, but the family ugliness cannot be publicized, so she can only be vague: "It's a long story, and it worries me when I think about it, so don't say it!"

Mrs. Zhang knew that she might not trust her when she talked lightly with the Wang family, so she also stopped talking about Sister Feng's pregnancy.The atmosphere became lively again.

In the end, the host and guest broke up happily!

Uncle Zhang made a list of books for Jia Lian before he left, so that Jia Lian had time to read it carefully, and Tete told Jia Lian: "The Wang family's way of being an official cannot be copied, and Wang Ziteng not only relies on the shadow of his ancestors, but if you want to climb If you are tall, read more books!"

Jia Lian clasped her fists when she heard the words: "I was about to tell my uncle that my nephew had been studying the Four Books in private, and was preparing to visit the family in August Qiuwei. I was about to come to ask my uncle for advice, but I didn't expect that my uncle would always miss my nephew, and my nephew was really grateful. "

Uncle Zhang was slightly stunned, and then relieved: "That's good, I was afraid that you would get lost in your youth and get carried away. I didn't want you to have such great ambitions, and it would not be in vain for your mother to remember when she was dying."

When Jia Lian heard his uncle mentioning his mother, his throat was slightly choked, and he said for a while, "I'll tell you the truth, Uncle, I've been investigating what happened back then, but I have no clue. Hey, it's all because I'm not good at learning, and I'm in vain for being a son!"

Uncle Zhang's family was silent when he heard the words, and said for a moment: "You were still young at that time, no wonder you, some things cannot be done by human beings, and it is not the time for this matter, just stay safe and don't be impatient, the truth will come out one day!"

Jia Lian suddenly became excited: "Uncle, do you mean that the death of my brother's mother was really tricky?"

Uncle Zhang's eyes were cold: "I already have some clues, although I'm not very sure, don't worry, one day..."

Uncle Zhang said and patted Jia Lian vigorously: "You are good, God rewards hard work, if there is anything you don't understand, come to the house and ask me anytime!"

Jia Lian sent Uncle Zhang away, feeling very excited, went back to find the jade ruyi, and muttered to it: "Mother, you wait for me, sooner or later, I will let them pay with blood!"

For a while, I thought about Zhang's uncle's official worship of the second rank, and the emperor's favorite minister, but said that things should not be done. Could it be that the enemy is more powerful than uncle?Fu recalled that his grandfather and grandmother were in a hurry to cover it up, was there some shady deed in it, or was it just like Zhang's uncle said, something that could not be done and had to bear the pain to cover it up?

Jia Lian hoped it was the second type, otherwise, Jia Lian didn't know how to face it!

Jia Lian frowned and thought hard. At the time when Jia's family was convicted and the judgment was so quick, maybe they could find clues from it. Unfortunately, he was in prison at that time, and he didn't know who was the one who contributed to the incident.

Jia Lian suddenly thought of the Kuo Shao who died in Wudang Mountain. Is he also related to his brother's death?

Jia Lian always had a premonition that his brother's death might involve the secret Wudang Mountain in his grandfather's heart!

It's a pity that there is no evidence, and everything is in vain.

What Jia Lian can do right now is to constantly strengthen himself.Jia Lian started to read according to Uncle Zhang's book list, but he felt restless and couldn't continue, so he had to put down the book and get up to practice in the well room, forcing himself to calm down slowly.

Sister Feng bid farewell to Zhang and Wang's relatives here. After returning to her room and waiting for half a day, she did not see Jia Lian returning.So they sent someone to inquire, but they said that Uncle Zhang's family had been away for an hour.

Sister Feng couldn't help being restless, as if something was going to happen, so she took the little girl's hand and slowly came to the study to look for Jia Lian, but she saw Long'er guarding the door alone, without Jia Lian.Sister Feng asked, "Where is your second master?"

According to Jia Lian's instructions, Long'er said, "Second Master is studying books in the backyard, and there are no outsiders!"

Sister Feng spat: "Am I an outsider? Hurry up and get up!"

Long'er said he couldn't go in, but he didn't dare to compete with Sister Feng at all. The second master got married for three years before he got the good news. Yes, the second master said to read the book, don't disturb it, the consequences will be serious!"

These were all Jia Lian's truths, and Long'er only dared to repeat them back and forth, but Sister Feng didn't like this at all. The more Long'er persuaded her, the angrier she became, and he believed that Jia Lian was groping the girl in the study and pressing the boy.

Sister Feng was blown by the wind all the way, and broke into the backyard, but unfortunately, Jia Lian was nowhere to be found in the study, small bedroom, and even the tea room.Sister Feng suppressed her anger and listened intently, hoping to find Jia Lian, but unfortunately, apart from the sound of the cold wind, the only sound left was her own breathing.

Sister Feng frowned: "This is really a ghost!" Turning her head and glaring at Long'er, "You dog slave, you don't know that the second master is out?"

Ping'er was busy instructing the maids to pack up the silver utensils, precious bowls and cups, and carefully picked up the antique screens on the case, and then went back to the main room to serve Sister Feng, and seeing Sister Feng sulking there angrily, she couldn't help wondering , I was still talking and laughing just now, how did my time change in the blink of an eye?

Sister Feng was pregnant, the child was hard-won, Sister Feng didn't know the seriousness, but Ping'er was a bystander, and hurriedly went up to comfort her: "What's wrong with grandma, she even beats and curses when she gets angry, why bother to be angry with herself? "

Sister Feng was very angry, she couldn't figure it out, she said that Jia Lian didn't go out, and there was no sign of anyone, could it be that he had spread his wings?

Sister Feng was very confused, she was inevitably suspicious, and quietly told Ping'er: "Go to the old lady's yard to look for mandarin ducks, and take a look at your second master by the way, and ask if their second master has been there. Where did you go now?"

Ping'er replied yes, and before leaving, Sister Feng said again: "Hey, by the way, go and see Sister Lin, and ask Sister Zhen's family if she is short of anything!"

Ping'er responded.

Sister Feng pondered, Jia Lian hadn't gone out, so she must be in the mansion. If there is anything in the mansion that attracts Jia Lian, it must be beauties. There are no beauties in the mansion, but the old lady has three beautiful beauties in her house.

Sister Daiyufeng is very relieved. Firstly, she is young, and secondly, Jia Lian has always regarded her as her own sister.

The rest are Zhen Yinglian and Yu Liuyue, who are thirteen or fourteen years old and just in age. A lively beauty like Yu Liuyue is a copy of Sister Feng. Eating rice and porridge is nothing interesting. Jia Lian probably does not care about it.

Only the slender and beautiful Zhen Yinglian made Sister Feng choke in her throat.That appearance, that waist, that smiling face, that eyebrows and eyes are beautiful no matter how you look at them, and that voice is even softer and brighter, mellow and melodious, which makes people feel soft to the bone.

She has a gentle temperament and is kind to others. Even Sister Feng can't wait to hug her in her arms and rub her, let alone a big man like Jia Lian.Isn't that moths to the flame?

Sister Feng was not worried at first, she was confident that she could hold Jia Lian, but now she is very worried, and she only blames Sister Feng for her inconvenience.

If she really got involved with Miss Zhen's family, an aunt might not be able to dismiss her.

Sister Feng regretted it very much in her heart. If she had known this before, she would have let Ping'er serve Jia Lian years ago. It was nothing more than a bowl of soup and medicine, and she was not allowed to have her eldest son in front of her.

Not to mention how Sister Feng regretted it too late, but said that Ping'er was ordered to go to Rongqing Hall, and before anyone entered the door, he heard bursts of laughter, but it was Jia's mother and Daiyu Zhenyinglian who played cards and gambled with the little girls in Duyue.

Yuanyang sits behind Jiamu and reads the cards for Jiamu, playing tricks quietly while Jiamu is not paying attention, and directs the three girls to take turns to point punches for Jiamu.

Jia Mu had already won a lot of copper coins in front of her, and she knew that the girls did it on purpose, so she still squinted her eyes happily.

When Yuanyang saw Ping'er, she hurried over to greet her.

The sisters greeted each other hand in hand, Ping'er smiled and asked, "Why are you so complete today?"

Yuanyang crooked her mouth, and the two went outside and muttered to each other: "Yu Liuyue had a quarrel with her cousin and came back again. Daiyu and the others started the game to tease her. I was so happy, I put water on purpose, let her win a box of money, and then I was happy. Later, I saw the old lady listless and dozed off while sitting. My wife is wasting time, no, the spirit is very good!"

Ping'er Yile: "You are really a roundworm in the old lady's stomach. If you give it to someone in the future, I don't think the old lady can eat anymore."

Yuanyang doesn't like to hear this the most, so he opened his mouth and spat: "Oh, you have a man yourself, and you think everyone likes a man. If you say this again, the relationship between our sisters is over!"

Ping'er hurriedly bowed his head to admit his mistake: "My dear sister, don't be angry, let's just say something joking, we are so unfeeling, we are not a day-to-day friendship, just curse a few times when you are angry, break up the friendship if you just open your mouth and keep it shut, and you won't be afraid of the cold anymore human heart."

Yuanyang snorted: "I know you're joking, so I'm standing here. If someone else said that, I would have slapped her all over the face!"

Ping'er and Xiao Yi'er begged for a long time, Yuanyang finally smiled: "Look at you stupid, who is really angry, tell me, what's the matter, your master and servant will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!"

Ping'er blushed, and stretched out two fingers: "It's not the two of us who are playing with flower guns again. I don't know where the second master is now. The second grandma regretted it when she turned around and asked me to come out for a stroll. When I met the second master, it’s easy to describe it.”

Yuanyang sneered: "It's true that your second grandma got pregnant so easily, she didn't say that she could rest and have a safe pregnancy, but she gave birth to these suspicions. She thinks that no one can live without a man, bah, get out of here as soon as possible, I'm not taking care of men for you !"

Ping'er hurriedly stopped: "Why is my sister getting annoyed again? My sister doesn't even think about it. The second grandma is suspicious that my sister will let me come? Besides, what kind of temper is the second master? The elder sister next to the old lady is respectful , Second Mistress is so smart, how could she commit such a bastard?"

Yuanyang frowned: "Really?"

Ping'er snorted: "If it's not true, it's still cooked. Our second master is not those bastards. Rabbits don't eat the grass beside their nests, but you fairies, unless the old lady gives it to them, otherwise, the second master will not." Smudge."

Yuanyang heard that Sister Feng valued her so much, and her face became happy: "You don't dare to be suspicious." Finally, he frowned: "Who is this suspicious?"

Ping'er glanced at the room, Yuanyang followed her and immediately understood, and said with a smile: "She is a sensible person, this one really deserves it!"

Hearing this, Ping'eryan's face changed, and he thought to himself, could it be the old lady's intention?

Seeing Ping'er's complexion turning red and then white, Yuanyang softened her heart: "I'm teasing you!" Then she pouted and sneered: "Your grandma is also a fool, the Zhen family is not a small family, how can you allow your daughter to be a young girl and keep her head upright?" Husband and wife still have to pick and choose!"

Ping'er blushed, and pursed her lips in joy: "My sister's mouth is really dead-speaking!"

Yuanyang was happy, and poked Ping'er's forehead with his finger: "It's not that I will say it, but if you care about it, you will be chaotic. You are a clever person, and if you touch a man, you will be stupid!" After speaking, she sighed: "Hey, I will say it soon You, I don’t know what to do tomorrow, people like us are still at the mercy of the master, I am not convinced when I think of this!"

Yuanyang seemed to be angry with herself, and waved her hand: "Go back, your second master hasn't wandered here for three or four days, and the old lady is still talking about it, go back and bring a letter, the old lady is getting old You don’t know me, but I know that the grandchildren are all the same in the old lady’s heart. Sincerely, no one surpasses the other, but it’s just a hand for the weak and a hug for the little one.”

Ping'er knew that the fight between the second master and the second grandma and Jia's mother was not so simple. It was just that Yuanyang favored the old lady. She felt that the old lady was good in everything and that others were bad, but she didn't want to offend Yuanyang, so she nodded hurriedly: " Hmm, I will definitely tell our second master and second grandma about my sister's golden words."

Yuanyang smiled wryly: "It's because I have a bad temper and talkative, and I'm not talking to you, I just can't see the old lady is so old, and she has to worry about being wronged for her children and grandchildren, and she sighs and sighs all night. It's not a taste!"

Ping'er was not easy to answer Yuanyang's words, she couldn't take care of the affairs of the masters, and she couldn't handle the affairs of the second master and second grandmother, so she could only listen.

But Ping'er is still very happy, at least the second master is not stuck here, and it will be easier for her to do business when she goes back.

Ping'er happily went back to Dede's house, where Sister Feng was fidgeting, Ping'er said something like this, but she was not as aggressive as a mandarin duck, she said it very tactfully, Sister Feng thought about it, and finally believed it.

After saying that, Ping'er got up: "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look, maybe the second master will be back soon, it's cold outside, let them boil more hot water for later use."

Sister Feng smiled and grabbed Ping'er's hand: "Good Ping'er, thank you for your hard work, sit down and call them, so please let them go, there is no need to worry so much, our master and servant are good at talking."

Ping'er was so frightened by Sister Feng's gentle smile that she felt uncomfortable all over: "Master, you should call me a little hoof, grandma looks like this, I don't know what to do, and I'm so scared! Could it be that I did something wrong and offended grandma? Not happy?"
