[Red House] Raiders of life

On the second day, Lin Ning really went to the house.

Xiaofengxian really had a bit of a temper. When she saw Lin Ning, she did not know where to find a dagger and put it on her neck. That posture seemed to wipe her neck if he tried hard.It made Lin Ning laugh.

These days, it's easy to do things with money, and even though Jia Daishan passed away more than ten years ago, the power in Jia's army has been weakened, but he can still find three or two good people through various relationships to serve as guards.

As soon as Lin Ning beckoned, someone stepped forward and removed the sharp weapon from Xiao Fengxian's hand.

A trace of despair flashed in Xiaofengxian's eyes, Lin Ning was a little surprised that it was rare to have such backbone.After the food and drinks were cleaned up, Lin Ning asked Xiao Fengxian to sit down. Xiao Fengxian looked wary, but Lin Ning didn't mind, and directly stated his intention.

"You were bought by King Kangjun and given to me. If I don't want you, even if you walk out of this house, what will happen to you?"

Offending Lin Ning is tantamount to offending King Kangjun.Most of them are people who help King Kang to punish him, an actor who is not upright, toasts and does not eat fine wine.By the time……

Xiao Fengxian's complexion turned pale.

Lin Ning sighed, "You can live here in the future. I will arrange all the servants in the house, and they all listen to you. I will come to sit here from time to time."

Seeing Xiaofengxian's face turned gray and her figure was shaking violently, Lin Ning said again: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. But on the bright side, you are my person, and if I love you to the extreme .”

Xiao Fengxian was taken aback, and frowned at Lin Ning.

Lin Ning explained: "I need a cover."

This is the result of Lin Ning's thinking all night.With Xiao Fengxian's current situation, I'm afraid that everyone in Beijing will know that he was given to him by King Kang.If you don't want it, even if you go out and say you don't want it.That little Fengxian didn't have a good end either.

There are many injustices in the world, and there are many people like Xiaofengxian. Lin Ning didn't have the Holy Mother to save them all.If it's nothing to do with her, she can turn a blind eye.But it can't be because he puts others in trouble and loses his life.He has a bad conscience.

And he did need a cover.In the past few years, he has not been close to women, he is pure-hearted and ascetic, which is really inconsistent with his previous image.Many people have been surprised.There are so many people like Rutu Mingyi that he doesn't mention.There are even many who have sent women of all colors to try out.He is very annoying.It's better to recognize the good manhood and want to marry Xiaofengxian.It saves cleaning.It also saves Jia Mu from trying her best to stuff him with women and eyeliner.

Xiao Fengxian couldn't believe it, "Master, this is..."

He pursed his lips and wanted to ask if it was impossible, but he was struggling in society after all, so he didn't ask after all.

Lin Ning smiled, but he didn't bother about it. He just accepted the reason and said: "In the future, if King Kang comes over, just act like you are favored by me in front of others. Other things, you You can do whatever you want. I will give you a sum of money every month, and the servants in the mansion will also be at your disposal. If you want to leave the mansion, there is nothing wrong with it."

Someone protects me, so I don't have to rack my brains to deal with all the nobles, and I don't have to do such shameful things to destroy the lintel, and it would be great to have a stable place.

Xiao Fengxian complied, and then let down her guard against Lin Ning.Sitting at the same table with each other, they just chatted for a while.Only then did Lin Ning know that Xiao Fengxian's ancestors were also scholars, and his father had also served as an aide to Prince Yizhong.Although it is not a wealthy family, it also has a noble character.

Because of the incident of Prince Yizhong, his family was in trouble, so he became a lowly citizen and was sent to be an actor since he was a child.Before Wang Ren, it wasn't like no one had touched him.Survival is not easy, who would not want to live if they could?Xiao Fengxian grew up in a theater and was raised as a famous actor in the future, so she is naturally a smart person.

Although he doesn't want to, but for the sake of his life, if others only touch him a little bit, it's fine. If they want to be strong, he will try to avoid it.Zuo is just that Master Li wants him, so he moves out of Master Song.

Now that he is somewhat famous, many people in Beijing have a certain degree of affection for him.Whoever praises him can still know. If he is not too prominent and powerful, he is naturally unwilling to offend others.No one would go directly to others and ask if you really liked Xiao Fengxian.

Therefore, this method is also effective in the short term.But only in the short term.Xiao Fengxian herself knew that this would not last long, but her status was humble, she had no power and power, so she could only let others bully her.I know the faces of those people these days, and I'm afraid I can't hide.There is also a bit of death in my heart.

After all, although he has become an actor and his reputation has long since disappeared, he believes that he is innocent, and he is not afraid of what others will say. Being an actor is not what he wants, and he is worthy of his surname even if he enters the underworld.But if he is a good boy, if he is really raped by others, he does such shameless things, and becomes the taboo of others, then he will ruin the reputation of the whole family for several lifetimes, and he will have no face to see his ancestors again. Zong.

Lin Ning sighed, but he didn't expect that he had such a background.I am even more lamented that the world is difficult. Fortunately, he is wearing Jia She, if he is dressed as a little phoenix...

Lin Ning couldn't help shivering, and didn't even dare to think about it.

The house was given by Tu Mingyi, and Tu Mingyi temporarily gave it to a few people to look after Xiao Fengxian, but he couldn't keep using his people.Lin Ning sent the servants back to Tu Mingyi the next day, and he bought what he could use from the dental shop, and made up for the servants in all parts of the house.

I went around Liuli Street again, bought a lot of good things and sent them to the house.

So, within three days, the word "Master Jia Amnesty Jia fell in love with the famous actor Xiaofengxian, opened another house, spent a lot of money on it, and loved him very much" spread throughout the capital.

Instead, Jiamu called him over and scolded him, "I thought you had changed your temper these few years, and the prodigal son turned back, but it's only been a few years!"

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows, "The person sent by the King of Kangjun, does the old lady think that the son can not be?"

Jia Mu was choked completely in an instant.If not, wouldn't it be a proper slap in the face of Duke Kang?

Glancing at Jia Lian at the side, Lin Ning's face softened, "Don't worry, old lady, I can still tell the difference. No matter how much you are favored, you are just an actor, and you will never be brought into the mansion, let alone hinder Lian'er. .Tomorrow I will submit a booklet, and ask Lian'er to be crowned prince."

Mother Jia was stunned for a while, and then began to panic!

Nima!The old lady just wanted to take this opportunity to catch you and make you scruples.I'm not asking you to invite me to be the crown prince!In this way, Jia Lian's birthright is determined.Song's status in the mansion will also rise.So even if she made a big fuss about this matter to discredit Jia She's situation, what's the use.At that time, no matter how much rumors there are in the mansion, the most they can do is to allow Jia She to take care of him, and Jia Lian and the Song family will be in charge.

Although Jia Lian is now the heir in the mansion, this is still very different from the status of the son approved by the emperor!

Mother Jia's heart trembled, and she sighed secretly: Jia Amnesty is so willing to retire to the honorary care?After all, he is only 40 years old.

Lin Ning twitched his lips, didn't care about Jia Mu's thoughts, and directly resigned and brought Jia Lian out.

Jia Lian couldn't help calling out, "Father!"

Lin Ning stopped, "What's wrong?"

"Little Fengxian..." Jia Lian said hesitantly, "I don't care about a little Fengxian. People outside say that you spend a lot of money for Xiaofengxian. When you didn't come just now, the old lady also reminded me openly and secretly that this family It's mine, don't let you vacate the house and give it to a shameless actor."

Lin Ning frowned, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "She wants to provoke our father-son relationship!"

Jia Lian said: "I know that my father is different from before, and the current situation does not require my father to pretend to be absurd. So even if my father really likes Xiaofengxian, he will act in a proper way. These days, my father is the little Impatiens flower The money I got didn’t go to the cashier, it was all my own private treasury. I knew it in my heart. Besides, even if the money from the government was used, it belonged to my father. It’s not mine now. My father often said that as long as you have the ability , why worry that the family wealth will not come. In fact, my father doesn't have to ask me to be crowned son for me."

Lin Ning could not hide the smile in his eyes, and he was very proud of himself. Look, his educational ability is still good.Jia Lian has been completely reborn.

"It's not for this matter, I have had this idea for a long time. You are an adult now, and you are in an official position, and you are busy with official duties. Naturally, you can't compare with Cong'er staying by my side every day. I have invited famous teachers for Cong'er, and everything is fine. .It will inevitably make people think too much."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Father, how old are my sons, you think I am the same age as my third brother. My son understands that there is a difference between concubine and concubine. The third brother will help me in the future."

Lin Ning is very helpful to Jia Lian's behavior of calling father when he is serious and serious, and calling him affectionately when he is coquettish or begging for mercy.Oh, anyway, he just doesn't want to be his biological father and son, so he has to be called Master.It doesn't sound right.

"You don't care about it, but you can't care about the servants in Qi's mansion. Although there are differences between the sons and daughters, the ancestors' etiquette is here. But..." Lin Ning chuckled, "Didn't your second uncle and I have a quarrel at the beginning? ? Our mansion also has a criminal record."

Jia Lian snorted, and his eyes flashed sharply, "We have no control over the west courtyard, but who in our house dares to spread such gossip!"

"They don't dare, but it's not that they can't. If they don't say it, they don't necessarily think so in their hearts. If some people have such thoughts, they will inevitably treat you with less respect. After all, the mansion and the west courtyard are in the same line Yes, many servants have broken bones and tendons, how can they not be affected. Besides, there is an old lady above! The old lady is not a person who is willing to be lonely."

Lin Ning curled his mouth, and continued, "Anyway, this title can only be inherited by you, so it's better to ask the crown prince to settle it for you earlier. Firstly, it will save the old lady from making dirty tricks at that time, and secondly, it will prevent the mansion from making troubles." People's minds are impure, three times..."

Lin Ning paused for a while, "He is still young, so he can't think of so much. But it is hard to guarantee that he will not be teased by people with bad intentions in the future. Stop his thoughts early, and save the trouble of fighting against brothers in the future because of this. It's for his own good too."

When Lin Ning said this, Jia Lian stopped insisting.

The two talked all the way, walking all the way, and unknowingly arrived at the gate of Jia Lian's courtyard. He is married now, and with Mrs. Song around, it is not convenient for Lin Ning to barge in like this.Turning around, he wanted to part ways with Jia Lian, but saw a small figure jump out suddenly and threw himself into his arms, "Grandfather!"

Lin Ning's eyes softened in an instant, and he bent over to hug Jia Ying, "Grandpa's sister Ying is getting heavy again, and in two years, I'm afraid my grandfather won't be able to hold her."

Jia Ying is over two years old and can already speak clearly.She raised her cute bun face and retorted aggrievedly: "Not fat!"

This is to complain that everyone thinks she is fat.Although she speaks clearly, she can only speak short sentences, and it is difficult to speak long sentences for the time being.

Lin Ning laughed, "Yes! Our sister Ying is not fat! Who said that sister Ying is fat? Sister Ying told me Grandfather, grandfather will help you teach him a lesson!"

"Mother!" Jia Ying complained angrily, turned her head and glanced at Jia Lian again, and then added, "Father! You are fat like a ball!"

Lin Ning glared at Jia Lian, his daughter actually said that he was fat as a ball, and you, a father, can say that too.

Jia Lian rubbed her nose, then turned her head and glared at Jia Ying.It's really one thing and one thing.

Jia Ying is not afraid at all, who would let Lin Ning be here.A child has a strong sense of who can protect her.She climbed onto Lin Ning's neck, buried her face in Lin Ning's arms, and looked at Jia Lian with a little complacency, making Jia Lian dumbfounded.

Only then did Lin Ning realize that Jia Ying was holding a palace flower. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "But you stole something from your mother again. You are still young, so you can't wear this palace flower. Can you wear it when you grow up?" When you wear it, how much you want, and how much grandpa will buy for you. Grandpa is not short of money!"

The corner of Jia Lian's mouth twitched, and he almost rolled his eyes. Is there anyone who shows off to his granddaughter that he is not short of money?

Jia Ying shook her head like a rattle, "I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it! Yinger's! My aunt gave it."

Lin Ning turned to look at the nanny who was following Jia Ying.The nanny hurriedly replied: "Today, the Xue family took twelve palace flowers and asked Zhou Rui's family to give them to the second grandma and several girls in the house. The second grandma didn't like these things. Seeing that my sister was holding them in her hand and refused to let them go, she simply Gave her to play."

Lin Ning took a closer look, and found that the palace flower was not like a gold hairpin or anything sharp. It was made of silk yarn, but it was soft. It didn't matter for children to hold it as a toy.Jia Ying is still young, and she likes brightly colored things since she was a child. This palace flower style is not particularly novel, but the workmanship and texture are not bad, especially the beautiful colors.No wonder she likes it.

It's just that Lin Ning suddenly thought of the scene where Zhou Rui's family gave palace flowers in the original book, so he couldn't help asking, "How did Zhou Rui's family send them?"

The nanny was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand what Lin Ning meant, but she replied politely, "The second grandma of Zhou Rui's family came here first, let the second grandma pick four sticks, and then go elsewhere. By Second Mistress's side, the slaves knew about this. Second Mistress asked her if she was planning to send it to other places for selection, but where would she go after leaving her place?"

"Zhou Rui's family said that second grandma should choose first, and then go to Er Miss and Miss Lin. These two girls live together, and they live close to second grandma."

Lin Ning smiled, but it was really different.The Song family is in charge of the power in the mansion, and now the second house is in decline, but the first house is in full swing, everyone wants to curry favor with the housekeeper.In addition, Yingchun is very respectable in the mansion now, and Dafang is a short-term protector.Zhou Rui's family naturally didn't dare to give it to others first, so that Yingchun would fall behind.Yingchun was elected, so naturally she couldn't lose Daiyu who lived next to Yingchun.

The nanny was even more suspicious, why did she think the old man's sneer was too ironic?

"Second Grandma said that no matter who is given first, there is no reason for the girl's family to pick the rest. Let people repack the twelve palace flowers according to each girl's preference, and bring them to several girls."

Lin Ning was startled, and nodded slightly.After all, it is the Song family that everyone was born in.The original book said that Xue Baochai was considerate in handling things, but this matter was really not thoughtful.Although Lin Ning is now a man in the outer house, he also pays attention to the inner house and knows what's going on in the inner house.Now the girls are all acquainted, and they are discussing to set up a poetry club, and they are often together.

If you want to send it, you can send it together when everyone is together.Or if you want to sell this favor to Zhou Rui's family, you have to sort out each person's things yourself.It should be noted that gift giving is also a science.

Because it was getting late, it was winter again, and it was windy outside, so Lin Ning handed Jia Ying to the nanny and asked her to carry Jia Ying into the house.Then he took Jia Lian to the study.He had nothing else to do with Jia Lian, but when he heard about the palace flower, he couldn't help but think of Daiyu, and then Jia Min.

Lin Ning said: "Now it's the end of the new year, and in a few days it will be your Aunt Min's birthday. This is the birthday taboo of the first year of her death."

Jia Lian was taken aback, but Lin Ning didn't say anything, he really didn't remember it.Nowadays, the Ministry of Industry is sorting out the details of various projects at the end of the year, and is so busy every day that it does not touch the ground, but it ignores this.There was a bit of shame on the face, and it was funny, the Song family was married not long, Yangzhou is far away, and the two families have no other activities except for the important festivals.Even ordinary things such as letters and courtesy, most of them were sent directly to the old lady without going through Song's hands.It is understandable that Song did not know Jia Min's birthday.

It's just that the old lady claimed to love this daughter the most, but these days she is focusing on the matter of Jia Cong and Xiaofengxian, trying to drive a wedge between their father and son and brother, and she doesn't mention Jia Min's jealousy.

Ah!

"Ms. Min is married after all. She is from the Lin family who took her husband's surname, and she was buried in the Lin family's ancestral hall. It's not easy to do this kind of thing in our family."

This is not because Lin Ning is unwilling, but because of the rules of this era.

"Although the Lin family has an ancestral house in Beijing, the ancestral house has been in disrepair for a long time, and her current spiritual seat has not been moved to Beijing, but is enshrined in Gusu, her ancestral home. In this way, the ancestral house in the Lin family's capital will also be done. Not very good. I thought, after two days you rest, go to the cashier to get 1000 taels of silver, and send your cousin Lin to the monastery. Put up a longevity card for your aunt there. From now on, your cousin Lin will often go to sacrifice .The rest of the silver can be used as sesame oil money. Your cousin Lin can also fast in the monastery for seven days to pray for your aunt."

Jia Lian nodded, "It's okay to send my cousin. But if my cousin is staying for seven days, my son can't accompany her. It's better to let Mrs. Song go with her. It's good to have someone to take care of me. After all, Cousin Lin is still young. "

"She is a housekeeper, and she has a lot of things to do at the end of the year."

Jia Lian chuckled, "The rules in the mansion have been established in the past two years, and there are reasons to follow in general matters. The nuns in charge around her can make the decisions. Besides, it's only been a few days, so it doesn't matter!"

Looking at his expression, Lin Ning knew that he was looking for a chance to relax when Mrs. Song went out.After all, the Song family is both the great mother-in-law and the step-mother-in-law in the mansion.Both the old lady and the Xing family are not worry-free, but they still occupy the status of elders, so she will inevitably be a little angry.

Lin Ning glared at him and waved his hand, "Go, go!"

Jia Lian laughed and went away, and Lin Ning began to write a note to invite the crown prince.The emperor approved it quickly.On the third day, Jia Lian's son's name was confirmed.

Years passed in a blink of an eye.

One day in the first month, Lin Ning had just returned from having a drink with Tu Mingyi outside, when Lai Lu came to report in a hurry, saying that Lin Ning had people staring at the Ningguo Mansion before, but now there is something abnormal there.The old lady had a very close relationship with the Ningguo Mansion during this time, especially caring for Jia Rong's wife, Qin Keqing, and sent her an old slave who was good at recuperating women's bodies.

Lin Ning's heart tightened, and he quickly asked someone to call Jia Lian who had just entered the house not long ago.

"Did Dong Fu post a post asking your daughter-in-law to enjoy plum blossoms tomorrow?"

Jia Lian was taken aback, "I heard her say this, it seems to be true. The old lady will go too."

Lin Ning frowned, "Let her watch carefully and see if there are any other abnormalities in Dongfu. In particular, let her pay attention to an old slave named Chunfang next to Grandma Rong. Everyone calls him Nanny Gui."

Jia Lian looked at Lin Ning suspiciously, and Lin Ning explained: "She belongs to the old lady!"

Jia Lian was even more puzzled, "But is there something wrong with Grandma Rong?"

Lin Ning opened his mouth, and finally decided to tell her the truth, "I told you before that the old lady pulled the second room to support the Zhen family, and the Ningguo Mansion secretly joined the eldest prince. Now the old lady may change her mind. The eldest girl is still here. In the palace. If the eldest girl can be favored, the second room will naturally rise, and I will be able to feel proud. If the eldest girl gives birth to an heir, the Jia family will have a prince of their own blood, will they vote for other princes?"

Jia Lian was speechless, "Even if the eldest girl gave birth to a prince, she is still young, so she can't compete with the grown-up princes."

Lin Ning hehe, "We know, but the old lady and Dong Fu don't necessarily think so. After all, the emperor still looks young and vigorous."

Jia Lian rolled her eyes, this is indeed the thinking of the old lady.only……

"The eldest girl has been in the palace for several years, and there has been no movement. How can the old lady be sure that the eldest girl will be favored?" Jia Lian suddenly thought of what Lin Ning said just now, and asked in surprise, "Could it be related to that grandma Rong?"

Lin Ning's eyes flickered slightly, "You also know that our family supported Prince Yizhong at the beginning. It's just that we supported Prince Yizhong because he was the prince and heir at the beginning. When he was abolished and defeated, the late emperor chose After the current Holy Majesty succeeds to the throne, he naturally gave up on this idea. But the East Mansion still has a lot of contact with the imprisoned Prince Yizhong. If I guess right, Grandma Rong is probably Prince Yizhong blood."

Jia Lian opened his eyes wide, what a big secret!He just thought it was strange that a powerless woman went to the East Mansion to be the future wife of the Jia family, but he never expected that there would be such a big secret in it!

"Exchanging the daughter of a loyal prince for the future of the eldest girl, and even putting Dongfu on board, the old lady is really..." Lin Ning sneered and shook his head.

Hehe, let's do it!Just do it to your heart's content!
