[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

Although Wang Xifeng knew that her cousins ​​would leave early from what Jia Lian had said before, she didn't expect that the time would be so tight, so she spent the whole next day preparing gifts for the elders of Jia Lian's family, and because she was going to move again, They are juniors again, so they need to thicken up a bit.

On the other side, although Zhang Xiuqi showed that he couldn't bear the two children's entanglement, but he was leaving tomorrow, he still sat there patiently and played with Sister Qiao and Lin Ke all day long.

Zhang Xiujin said that he was not as talented as his younger brother, but to Jia Lian, this cousin was very experienced in dealing with all aspects of things. After he instructed many things, Jia Lian certainly did not see the light of day, but he did straighten things out a bit.

So when Zhang Xiujin and Zhang Xiuqi left, Jia Lian was still quite reluctant to part.

Zhang Xiujin looked at Jia Lian's eyes that could be regarded as thirsty for knowledge, and after being amused, he persuaded: "I think my cousin needs a clearer, so it will be easier to deal with many things. Of course, if my cousin wants to be lazy, it is better Easier."

Jia Lian rubbed his nose, "My cousin can see the essence through the phenomenon in just a few days, haha, haha..."

Before Zhang Xiujin said anything, Zhang Xiuqi who was standing by and listening to them suddenly said: "Cousin will be a good official."

"It doesn't matter if you are a good official or a bad one." Jia Lian rubbed Xiu Qi's head and said with a smile, "Just have a clear conscience."

After all, in Jia Lian's impression, the life of some good officials is really too hard. He still doesn't want to take on this title.

"I don't know when this farewell will be..."

Zhang Xiujin felt a little emotional. The servants who stayed in the capital all these years would also pass the news of Jia Lian back to their hometown. It is true that he is a little tired, but Jia Lian can be regarded as a glorious person...

So he felt that this trip was really right, and he even faintly regretted that he could not re-establish contact with his cousin sooner due to some matters of Zhang Jia's family, but it is not too late now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiujin looked at Jia Lian and said with a smile: "Cousin will return to Beijing sooner or later, we will still get together."

"Yes." Jia Lian nodded with a smile, and suddenly looked at Zhang Xiuqi narrowly, jokingly said, "I must be feeling something about this situation, why don't you compose a poem for my cousin?"

Zhang Xiuqi immediately turned black and turned his head away from Jia Lian.

"Hahaha..." Zhang Xiujin laughed and shook his head, then cupped his hands at Jia Lian and said, "We should go, cousin, goodbye."

Jia Lian also bowed back, and seeing Zhang Xiuqi bowing his hands at him, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at him.Zhang Xiuqi said awkwardly, "Cousin, goodbye", and got into the carriage.

After standing still and watching the two leave, Jia Lian walked back with the guards, but before they had gone far, someone ran over and called them: "My lord! Wait! My lord!"

Jia Lian turned around when he heard the voice and saw that it was the guard guarding the gate, so he asked, "What happened?"

"Go back to your lord." The guard took a breath, and then continued to respectfully say: "There is a convoy at the gate of the county, and the sign on the carriage seems to be the sign of the Lin family who came here before."

When Jia Lian heard it, she thought it might be her aunt and the others who had come to bring the festival gift, so she nodded and said to Long'er, "You go and greet her."

Long'er responded and turned back to walk towards the gate of the county, while Jia Lian continued to lead the people at a walking speed in a leisurely manner.

Less than one mile away from the county government office, the Lin family's carriage caught up with him. When Jia Lian turned around and saw that the luxury of the leading carriage was somewhat different, he stopped and looked at it strangely.

Naturally, it was impossible for the coachman of the Lin family to pass him directly, so he stopped beside him, jumped off the carriage, bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master Biao."

Jia Lian glanced at the carriage behind which should be a ceremony, and then looked at the carriage in front of him. Before he could ask a question, he saw the window open, revealing a small face with picturesque features, "Second Brother Lian..."

"Daiyu?!"

At this moment, Lin Sheng, the chief steward of the Lin family, came down from the carriage behind and bowed to Jia Lian, "Master Biao, please forgive me for bringing Miss here without prior notice."

Jia Lian didn't bother to ask Daiyu why she came here, thinking that her body had never been strong, so she hurriedly asked the coachman to drive the car to the Yamen, and then speeded up with Lin Butler to catch up.

Daiyu had already got off the carriage, and when Lian's second elder brother came over, she immediately leaned forward and said, "Daiyu has bothered Lian's second elder brother and Lian's second sister-in-law."

Jia Lian shook his head, led her inside, and asked Daiyu's nanny Wang Momo, "Is Daiyu feeling unwell on the road? Come in quickly, and I'll ask the old doctor to come and have a look."

"Miss is indeed a little tired, it would be great if you can see the imperial doctor."

Daiyu wanted to say that she was fine, but seeing Lian's second brother's expression, she opened her mouth and did not say anything.When Jia Lian was leading them to the back house, he remembered to ask Lin Daiyu, the housekeeper, why she came here.

"Miss misses the young master, so I asked the master and wife to allow her to come and visit the young master." Mr. Lin then explained: "Because it was a sudden decision, so the mansion did not send any more letters to the young master."

After hearing this, Jia Lian nodded to show that he knew, and took them straight to the main room.Lin Ke was with Sister Qiao during the day, so as soon as the Lin family entered, they saw a much healthier Lin Ke.

Wang Xifeng greeted people, and at the same time ordered his servants to arrange a place for them. Looking back, he saw not only Lin Daiyu, but also Lin Butler and others looked at Lin Ke with excited faces and flushed eyes. It's too full, but she still wants to hug Lin Daiyu to coax her: "Don't cry, there is nothing sad."

Lin Daiyu looked at her younger brother, couldn't help but choked up and said, "I really never wanted to see my younger brother so healthy, I couldn't help it for a while, second sister-in-law Lian, please forgive me..."

"Then you shouldn't cry." Wang Xifeng gently helped wipe away tears, and said with a smile: "Cousin Lin will definitely be in better health in the future, so I can't just wipe away my tears every day, right?"

Lin Daiyu held back her tears, nodded and said, "Daiyu knows."

Jia Lian didn't know what to say when she was with such a delicate and weak girl, so she told Wang Xifeng to squat in the county government office. The time is also very fast.

Some time ago, after the county collected taxes after the autumn harvest, there was still a lot of surplus after excluding the part handed in. He set aside the salaries that should be distributed to the government, and he has been thinking about how to spend the remaining part.

In order to reward the fast and good village for road construction before, Jia Lian has already given away 30 taels, and now the county doesn't know where else to go, he really can't think of it for a while.

Unexpectedly, I thought that when I sent my cousin of the Zhang family away in the morning, my cousin suggested that I find someone to clean up the guests. The staff should come up with ideas or something, similar to Zandian.Moreover, it seems that it is not easy for him to find someone with outstanding ability, just like he said about the second uncle's Qingke, how can it be so easy for them to keep those who are really capable?

Thinking about the matter, his face couldn't help wrinkling. When Zan Dian saw him, he wanted to help him solve his problems, so he asked in a low voice: "My lord, what are you worrying about? Do you need help from an official?"

"Before my cousin left, I suggested that I find an aide by my side to share the burden. I am thinking about how to find..."

"Sir, do you still need to share?" Zandian was a little speechless when he heard it. In his opinion, County Magistrate Jia is definitely the most idle county magistrate he has ever seen. If you still have to share, why do you still want to be an official?

When Jia Lian heard this, he glanced at the subordinate who was indifferent, but after he reminded him, he realized that he was only in charge of a county at present, and it seemed that there was really no need to spend money to hire staff.

As for the money spent in the county, Jia Lian said directly to Zan Dian: "Tell everyone in the county government, no matter which department it is, to come up with an area that our county needs to improve. Well, within three days, when the time comes Have a meeting and report collectively."

"A meeting again?"

The county magistrate who had just walked in was the fastest to finish speaking, and immediately took a careful look at the county magistrate. Seeing that he was not angry, he secretly looked at Zan Dian and smiled bitterly in his heart. Although they are not frequent when they are working, they will always be busy for a long time after the meeting, and as time goes by, they are a little afraid of hearing those two words.

And Jia Lian was indeed not angry, but it didn't mean he didn't have a small belly. He admitted that he was sometimes a little narrow-minded, so when he heard the words of the county magistrate at this time, he smiled and said: "The time has been changed, and the meeting will be held in the future." , remember to inform.”

After finishing speaking, he turned his hands away, called two officials to follow behind, and wandered off in the name of "patrol".Zan Dian, the queen of Liuxian County, looked at each other with a wry smile.

Jia Lian in this county is almost exhausted from shopping, but it's just killing time, walking aimlessly.Passing by a woodcarving stall on the way, I bent down and picked up two exquisitely crafted wooden hairpins to play with.

"If my lord falls in love, why don't I give it to you..."

The stall owner is a man who is honest and responsible. The only thing that is special is that he has various deep and shallow scars on his hands.Jia Lian saw it at a glance, and raised the corners of his mouth and said cynically, "I've accepted your intentions, but I'm not a person who is short of money. It would be embarrassing to talk about things without giving money!"

After he finished speaking and asked how much it was, he put the money on the stall and turned to leave, but he heard the voice of a girl's house calling from the alley on the right.

Turning around and seeing the officer's expression, he obviously heard it, so he led the people to follow the sound, and after turning a corner, he saw that the people blocked by two hooligans looked familiar, and he didn't know what the reason was.
