Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Chapter 104 Procrastination

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng have been loving and sweet for the past few years. Although there is a little rift, the separation for so many days has long since put aside the rift.

"The uncle of the country is back, the uncle of the country is very happy!"

As soon as Jia Lian took hold of Wang Xifeng's jade hands, he pinched and pinched again, looking at her as if water would flow from his eyes.

It should be said that Jia Lian has been in drought for half a year. When Lin Ruhai was around, he helped organize the family business, and the butler Lin was by his side all the time, so he shouldn't be having fun in front of him, right?

When Lin Ruhai was seriously ill and unconscious, Steward Lin stopped staring at him, but when the fourth prince came, he had to endure it.

When the spirit is sent back to the hometown, the Lin family is a century-old scholar family, gentle and polite, not to mention a girl, even a straight-faced mother and daughter-in-law are well-behaved, and it is not easy for him to make mistakes.

On the way back to Beijing, I thought I could relax for a while, but when I heard about the eldest sister Feng Niangniang, I had to rush here day and night.

Jia Lian is not a gentleman, but he must be like a hungry wolf.

Wang Xifeng was stared at by him, her face flushed, she was still reluctant to let go of Jia Lian's hand, and she squinted at him with her phoenix eyes.

Jia Lian was swept away by her affectionate eyes, and her whole body was as crisp as before. She couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately hugged Wang Xifeng to the bed.

Just about to do something, listening to the muttering sound outside, disturbed people's interest, and shouted angrily,

"Who is outside!"

The voice fell silent, and Ping'er came in to reply, "It's Xiangling from Aunt Xue's house, and Aunt Xue sent her some things."

Jia Lian thought about Xiangling, and remembered a certain beautiful woman, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided, "Xiangling, is that idiot Xue's roommate? That mole of Guanyin on the center of the eyebrow."

Ping'er replied, "It's her."

Wang Xifeng said jealously, "You remember her."

Jia Lian hurriedly coaxed, "Isn't this just a coincidence before! This Xiangling should be better and better."

He waved his hand to let Ping'er go down, and his hands started to become irregular again, lighting fires everywhere, and just about to continue to act, he heard that there was a girl outside to report, and the master invited the second master Lian.

Jia Lian cursed once, but had no choice but to clean up.

This time I had to be disturbed again and again, not to mention Jia Lian, even Wang Xifeng was a little annoyed, so she called Ping'er in and asked her to help clean up, and asked,

"What did this aunt send Xiangling over for?"

Ping'er hurriedly responded, "Where is Xiangling, it's Wang'er-in-law, she's getting more and more winking, and she's actually talking back and forth today."

Wang Xifeng said, "Strange way, I said what did Auntie ask Xiangling to come here in full bloom?"

Ping'er then took a bundle from the outside room, opened it, and saw that there were three 400 taels of silver bills and broke the silver. Wang Xifeng nodded with satisfaction, but 100 taels turned over so much, it was a good deal.

The last time Pinger made a mistake was when he was being cautious. Seeing such a huge interest, he was worried after all, so he cautiously advised,

"Grandma, seeing how big this profit is, I feel a little scared in my heart. As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts, so what should I do if something happens?"

Wang Xifeng had a meal under his command, her temperament of greed for money and power remained unchanged, but she was much more cautious after the previous incidents, what Ping'er said was also reasonable, but.

Wang Xifeng sighed, "I don't know why, but this mansion is full of ostentation, saying that now, it's impossible to turn around for a while, and I have to use my dowry money to fill it. I have a mountain of gold and silver." I can't stop spending like this!"

Ping'er thought the same thing, she intended to persuade Wang Xifeng to restrain herself, or tell the old lady about the family's difficulties, but considering how strong she was usually, she still didn't dare to say much.

Wang Xifeng pondered for a while, and said, "Forget it, what you said is still reasonable. It's hard for you to think about me like this, but the form cannot be controlled. Now use my dowry money to do this business first, don't touch the public, and wait until later." The situation is getting better, just cut it off."

Ping'er said yes.

On the other side, Jia Lian went to the big study. Jia She and his wife, Jia Jing and his wife had been waiting for a long time, and Jia Lian came forward to say hello.

After a few words of concern, Jia Amnesty asked, "That day, you went out of Beijing with your sister Lin, why did you come back, and your sister Lin didn't come back?"

Jia Lian replied, "When my aunt passed away that day, I ordered Sister Lin and Cousin Lin to keep a filial piety in front of the tomb for a year, but I couldn't come back."

Jia Amnesty replied "Yes", originally he didn't care about his business, only the old lady was concerned about it, so he asked a few more questions.

Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it anymore, "Then I wonder how your Uncle Lin's funeral will be handled?"

Jia Lian was surprised, and when he rolled his eyes, he knew the meaning of Mrs. Wang's question, so he replied,

"Uncle Lin's funeral will naturally be handled according to his will. After selling most of the family property, it will be handed over to the imperial court to relieve the disaster in Shanxi. The Supreme Emperor is grateful for Master Lin's loyalty to the people, and sent the fourth prince at that time. Now The emperor praised him in the past and made him Duke Wensu."

Jia Zheng heard that he is a person who has always been respectful and dignified, so he naturally praised, "Brother Lin is dedicated to serving the court and the people, so he is a model for us to learn from!"

He is extremely envious in his heart, Mr. Wen Su, that is almost the highest compliment of a literati. Although he is flattered because of his daughter Feng Jieyu, he is not as noble and decent as Lin Ruhai with his own ability.

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, but still couldn't say anything.

Compared with Jia Zheng who doesn't know about family affairs, she knows that the family is difficult, and it's about her daughter's dignity, so she is naturally anxious, but first, Jia Zheng has made a statement, and she can't refute it in public; second, she has always treated her with compassion and kindness. To show others how to show the face of coveting the family property of orphans and widows in front of Dafang, Jia Zheng and junior Jia Lian.

I didn't know what to say for a while.

As for Jia Amnesty and his wife, they didn't care about their affairs, so naturally they have nothing to do with themselves.

There was silence in the study.

Jia Lian was not a patient person, so he asked, "I don't know what the master and wife called me to do?"

Jia Zheng and his wife did not speak, so Jia She, as the head of the family, naturally had to speak.

"The Supreme Emperor was ill and abdicated. Today, there is nothing more considerate of the world than the word "filial piety". The Holy One serves the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager day and night, but he cannot be filial. Thinking that the hearts of parents and children in the world must be the same, The concubines in the palace have been in the palace for many years, and if there is a house in the other courtyard of Chongyu, they can stay in the guarded place, so they might as well invite the inner court Luanyu to enter their private residence, so that they can fully use their flesh and blood and family relationships."

Upon hearing this, Jia Lian said, "But this big sister is coming back."

Mrs. Wang responded, "That's right!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian thought about what Mrs. Wang had said about Uncle Lin's funeral. He was also in charge of the household affairs, so there was something he didn't understand. Come, but today is different from the past.

First, when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he knew what kind of person Mrs. Lin was. Even if he was seriously ill, a few simple instructions to him would enlighten him. Besides, since he promised to take good care of sister Lin and Lin Rui A child, which makes him how to get his hands on his inheritance.

Secondly, since he has made a fortune in Jiangnan, he naturally knows that his future cannot be in the inner house, so he deliberately excused himself and said.

"This eldest sister has been conferred the title of Empress Jieyu. It is a major event in the Hui family to visit relatives. Why don't you ask Uncle Jing and the old lady to discuss it."
