[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

The happiness of a man is always very simple, let alone a group of teenagers who have not yet been crowned.

At the beginning, they were not familiar with each other, especially the barrier between scholars and noble children was born, so Jia Lian and Jia Zhu played with their partners with similar preferences on the first day.

The change came at night, when everyone gathered around the bonfire to eat roast leg of lamb. Of course, wine was indispensable, and they got high by accident.As the masters, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu naturally couldn't follow other people unconsciously, so they saw how drunk these people were.

Zeng Jinghuai said he wanted to compete with the big head, but he threw his fist and it was empty; the rest of the laughing, chattering, and sleeping to death are nothing, Li Shao and Song Zi'an The two insisted on fishing for the moon...

The two brothers Jia Lian and Jia Zhu felt that they couldn't put it into words, and they both decided not to get drunk in the future.But it's not without its benefits to be abnormally drunk. Although I was ashamed when I woke up the next day, after laughing, there was no barrier left.

After playing, Jia Lian realized that Ke Minglang had been with his father for many years, and his knowledge was quite extraordinary.Except for Zeng Jinghuai, who was released with his father, the others grew up in the capital and never went out, so they were naturally very interested.Every time you talk to me, the chat is in full swing.

Later, everyone had a picnic outside, and all the ingredients were handled clumsily by these boys and buddies. Jia Lian, an experienced capable person, stood out instantly, and said without any shame that he was "amazingly talented and outstanding", and the others Just looked at him with admiration.

However, the free time was very short. After three days, everyone began to go back one after another. Jia Zhu felt a little slack these days and had to go back to the house, but Jia Lian didn't stay enough at all, so he asked him to help tell his grandmother One sound, come back later.

When he was left alone again, Jia Lian slept until three poles in the sun every day. After half a month of idleness, he began to miss the bustling and lively capital again, so he packed up and went back to the mansion.

He didn't tell the mansion before that he would come back, so he was a little surprised when he came back to the mansion, and then Jia Lian noticed that there were some strange expressions on the faces of these people. After asking, he found out that it was the old lady who wanted his father and the others. Show him a wedding.

I can't help but look at my small body speechlessly, no matter how early you get married in ancient times, you can't wait so impatiently, right?Knowing this, Jia Lian didn't intend to go back to her yard, so she turned around and went to pay her respects to her grandmother, and asked what was going on by the way.

All the way outside the grandmother's yard, I heard the grandmother's maid said that there were guests inside. After a while, the maid went in to inform Jia Lian, and then came out and said to Jia Lian, "Second Master Lian, the old lady invites you in."

Jia Lian nodded and asked casually, "Who's the guest here?"

"It's the second wife's natal wife who brought the young lady over to visit."

The eldest lady of her natal family... Jia Lian walked in with doubts, and saw a strange middle-aged woman and a little girl with red phoenix eyes at a glance. She didn't pay much attention, and turned directly to her grandmother, bowing honestly: "Grandma, Lian'er is back."

If there were no guests today, Mother Jia would definitely have scolded him, but in front of the guests, she smiled and said kindly: "It's good to be back, this is your second aunt's aunt and cousin, call quickly." Hello."

Jia Lian nodded and said to the mother and daughter of the Wang family, "Hello, aunt and cousin."

While greeting each other with Wang's cousin, Jia Lian suddenly remembered that his wife in the original book seems to be a phoenix eye?Isn't this Wang Xifeng? !

Subconsciously glanced at her again, unexpectedly meeting the little girl's eyes, seeing the other party looking away shyly, Jia Lian immediately retracted his eyes in embarrassment, and turned around to see all the female elders looking at them with smiles, and suddenly felt a little wronged...

Although the little girl was indeed pretty, he really didn't have any evil thoughts about a little girl with baby fat, and absolutely didn't have any lies!But this kind of thing can't be said, Jia Lian can only bid farewell to grandmother and the others in a hurry.

However, the old lady and the others only felt that Jia Lian was shy and laughed even more happily, but in front of Wang Xifeng, the tacit understanding between them did not show it.

It took a lot of time to return to his own yard, and just as he approached, he saw Qimei at the gate of the yard.As soon as Qimei saw her young master, she immediately stepped forward with bright eyes, and said with a smile, "Second Master, you are back!"

Jia Lian nodded and asked her, "Why are you here?"

"You didn't say you were coming back today. The servant has arranged your things and wanted to come over to welcome you." Qimei followed the young master's footsteps into the room with a smile on her face, and took the bag from the little maid's hand. Handing the handkerchief to Jia Lian, he said, "Young master, you have been at the village for so long, and you miss me... the cooking skills of our mansion? What do you want to eat at night, this servant will order someone to prepare it..."

Qimei's face was flushed, but Jia Lian didn't pay attention to it at all, and replied to her while changing his coat, "Just ask the kitchen to prepare a bowl of wonton for me."

"Okay, master, just wait a moment."

After changing his clothes, Jia Lian sat on the couch and looked at the account book for a while. Seeing Qimei walking in with a tray, he stood up and sat down at the table, took a mouthful with a spoon, and praised: "Zhuangzi Although the food is good, the mansion also has its advantages, this cooking skill cannot be found outside."

"The young master likes it. The kitchen may be so happy to know! The slaves will give some rewards in a while."

Jia Lian nodded, this has always been like this in this mansion, so he is not stingy with the reward money.

After Qimei finished speaking, she stood aside and stared at him with a dazed expression. After Jia Lian finished eating, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and when he looked up, he saw her expression, and asked, "Why such an expression?"

Qimei twisted her handkerchief, and asked a little uneasy: "Everyone in the house is saying that the old lady wants to meet you for marriage, and the servants are worried that when the new lady marries in, it will be difficult to get along with..."

"Even if the new wife is difficult to get along with, as long as you do your own thing well, she has no right to punish you for no reason." Because seeing Wang Xifeng today, Jia Lian knew that her marriage would be a matter of time, so she looked at Qi Qi seriously. Mei Dao: "With a new master, you will be worried that I understand, but the premise I will protect you is that you will not lose your sense of propriety. As a big maid, you should also appease the emotions of other servants, instead of being punished by a servant yourself. No rumors of results yet."

Qimei's eyes turned red, she bit her lips and nodded, "It's the servant who neglected his duty, and the servant will definitely reflect..." But what made her even more sad was that the young master didn't treat her differently...

The next day, when Jia Lian came to pay her respects, she saw Wang Xifeng again. She felt a little strange, so she heard Jia Zhu next to her say, "My mother left my cousin to live in the mansion. Men and women are different. We will leave after we invite Ann." Bar."

When Jia Lian heard this, she nodded seriously. Normally, the girls from her own family just met in a hurry, and the girls from other people's families naturally wanted to avoid suspicion, so after asking An, they left with Jia Zhu.

As for Mrs. Wang, who watched the two brothers leave, she was very anxious. She kept her niece in the mansion just to let the two of them cultivate some relationship. When the time comes, the uncle and his wife will not be able to stop the marriage, but Her son really doesn't understand her mother's heart at all!Isn't it a fool?

The two brothers didn't know what she was planning. Jia Lian, who was walking side by side with Jia Zhu, said helplessly, "I wanted to ask my grandmother why she suddenly thought of showing me a match, but I couldn't find a chance."

Jia Zhu glanced at him and said, "Actually... You can ask Lian'er about this."

"What? Brother Zhu actually knows?"

"Yes." Jia Zhu nodded, and then said a little embarrassedly: "After I came back from Zhuangzi, I told my grandmother and uncle that you would come back later, and my grandmother said, 'You can have a hand in the marriage of the cousin next door. , presumably it has already been enlightened, it is better to settle the marriage early and determine the sex'..."

When Jia Lian heard it, he felt very tired. He co-authored him, so he cheated himself?

On the other side, Mrs. Wang, who waited until evening for her son to come back from her husband, called Jia Zhu to her side as soon as she saw Jia Zhu came back, and said, "I want to match your cousin and Lian'er's marriage, so you can't be like your sister." A little wink? It's fine if you don't give it a chance, why are you holding back your mother?"

After Jia Zhu heard this, she frowned and disapproved: "This is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. If the mother is interested, she can directly mention it to the uncle and aunt. If the man and the woman give and receive privately, wouldn't it be a mistake to the cousin's reputation?"

"Of course it's a beautiful thing, what kind of private giving and receiving?! And this thing was done in private, how could it spread?"

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." Jia Zhu said solemnly: "My son has long said that our servants need to be restrained. Isn't what happened to Lian'er a lesson?"

Mrs. Wang was choked by her upright son, and dissatisfied: "Do you think that mother will not be in charge of the family?"

"Of course not. The son just thinks that these servants are used to deceiving others, so he reminded his mother."

"Wait!" Mrs. Wang suddenly woke up and said angrily, "I'm talking about your cousin and Lian'er, don't talk about it elsewhere!"

Jia Zhu, who had learned badly from Jia Lian these days, sighed regretfully in her heart, and said: "My mother's request, forgive my son for not being able to do it, it is really against my way of doing things, my son still says that , if you are interested, you can directly mention it to your uncle and aunt, if it is not possible, you can get the consent of grandma first."

Mrs. Wang was depressed. If it wasn't for worrying that the eldest son would not want to marry their Wang family daughter, why would she go around such a big circle, but her own son is a dead-headed one, and he even educated her as a mother, so she can only continue. Think of another way.
