[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Jia Zi suddenly turned to Lin Hai, hesitated for a moment, and asked curiously: "Could it be that someone has taken a fancy to Jia Lian and begged to come to you? Come on, tell me who it is from." Girl? I'll ask Xiao Min and ask her to check it out." At the end, Jia Zi grabbed Lin Hai's arm, looking anxious.

However, it is not difficult to infer from Jia Zi's words that in this matter, the person Jia Zi believed was Jia Min, not Jia She and Mrs. Xing - just as Jia Lian was asked to marry Wang Xifeng, Jia Zi did not believe it. Jia Amnesty can handle this matter well: even though this matter was decided by Jia Mu at the time, and Jia Amnesty had no way to resist even if she objected, Jia Zi still kicked Jia Amnesty out of the trust list: wait for her to be with Jia Min After the investigation, I will tell Jia Amnesty, and I think Jia Amnesty will not have any opinions—after all, he may not be able to find a better one.As for Mrs. Xing, she was not as good as Jia She, so naturally she couldn't believe it.

"You know." Before Lin Hai could answer, Jia Zi pursed his lips and said to himself, "Lian'er has no other advantages, but she is sweet-talked, can coax people, and has a good skin. Alas, It's all Wang Xifeng's fault, if it wasn't for her, Lian'er would have gone to get married..."

Hearing the word "marriage" blurted out from Jiazi's mouth, Lin Hai couldn't help laughing suddenly.It never occurred to him that Jia Zi would actually say this: Princesses have always been married, when did it become Jia Lian's turn to be a big man?

However, looking at Jiazi's resentful expression and his regretful look with his fists, Lin Hai couldn't help but see a scene of a princess getting married: exotic customs, crowded crowds, and festivities all over the sky. Shili's red makeup, but the person sitting in the red sedan chair in the middle, has changed from a princess with red eyes to Jia Lian who is crying and wiping away tears.

In fact, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jazi realized that he had made a mistake.Hearing Lin Hai's undisguised laughter, Jia Zi slapped Lin Hai in embarrassment: "I mean Lord Shang. If Lian'er had never been married before, wouldn't he be the best candidate for Lord Shang. When he married How can a little princess or county owner who has fallen into the prince's family be so troublesome now. With his mouth, he will definitely be able to make the little girl happy."

"You," Lin Hai pinched Jiazi's nose amusedly: "How could you think of such an idea, huh?" Lin Hai never thought that Jiazi would have such an idea, and even directly think about the decline The little princess and county lord of the prince's family.In fact, Lin Hai also knows that even though these fallen princes have a good wish in their hearts to make their families rise again through marriage, neither the emperor nor the new emperor will surely satisfy their wish.Therefore, Jia Lian, who is also a fallen noble, is really a good candidate.

However, Jia Zi seems to have forgotten one thing: the right to choose this kind of thing is not actually in Jia Lian's hands, but in the hands of others.

"I didn't say anything wrong. Everyone gets what they need." Jiazi spread his hands and made a gesture of helplessness, but he couldn't hide the mischievous smile on his face: "However, it's a dead end now." : No county head will want Lian'er anymore."

"Nonsense." Lin Hai slapped Jia Zi's hand lightly, and said with a smile, "Be careful, Lian'er heard it, and cried directly to you!"

Jiazi raised his eyebrows and said in a pretentious manner: "He will only be grateful that I still miss his marriage. By the way, you haven't said who mentioned this to you? Okay, no kidding, I think Lian'er's conditions are pretty good: Although a few fourth-rank officials can be killed if a plaque falls in the capital, Lian'er's fifth-rank is a bit low. But, you have to admit, Lian'er That face is pretty good, right? Of course, it’s still a bit worse than Rong’er and Qiang’er.” At the end, Jia Zi still didn’t forget to praise his two little nephews.

Lin Hai laughed happily: "It sounds really good."

"Right," Jia Zi climbed Lin Hai and nodded, "You haven't said which girl is so lucky?"

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment: "What?" Hearing Jia Zi talk about Jia Rong and Jia Qiang growing better from Jia Lian and Shangzhu, Lin Hai was already teased to death, and he didn't remember what the two of them were talking about. It got here.Therefore, when Jiazi suddenly changed the subject again, Lin Hai couldn't react for a while.

"It's about Lian'er!" Jia Zi tilted his head, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Isn't it because someone has taken a fancy to Lian'er, so he mentioned Lian'er's marriage to you? Let's say it first, someone like Wang Xifeng must be No way. First of all, you have to have a good personality. You tell me which girl you are from first. I will ask Xiao Min to inquire about the usual style of a girl from that family first."

Lin Hai looked at Jia Zi in puzzlement: "When did I tell you that someone mentioned Lian'er's marriage to me? What's more, if you don't go directly to Xie, you have to go to Wei Cheng." After all, Wei Cheng is Jia Lian's real uncle.

"No?" Jiazi pouted, looking disappointed: "It's really boring. I thought someone had mentioned this to you!" Of course, in Jiazi's view, Jia Lian should marry sooner. De: In this way, a little girl Jia Yingchun will not have to bring her niece with her every day.Of course, another point is to completely cut off Wang Xifeng's hope of re-entering Jia's family, so that Wang Xifeng will not think that Jia Lian is keeping festivals for her and can't do without her!

Lin Hai looked at Jia Zi with a broken smile, and said in his heart, "Now that kid is devoted to the Ministry of Industry and vows to trample Jia Zheng completely under his feet, how can he care about such a thing!"

No matter what Jia Zi thought, Jia Lian devoted himself to the Ministry of Works, and was praised by his superiors several times in succession, which made Jia She very proud: his son is a hundred times better than that prudish one, no matter how prudish he is, he can pretend to be prudish, and Jia's mother no matter how serious he is. So what if he is eccentric, in terms of ability, isn't he much worse than Jia Lian?Otherwise, why did the minister of the Ministry of Industry praise Jia Lian, but scold Jia Zheng like a dog?Could it be that the dignified servant of the Ministry of Industry still scolded the wrong person?

And Jia Zi really didn't have much time to take care of Jia Lian's family affairs: she was very busy with the affairs of the capital camp alone; It's up to Jia Zi to make up his mind; plus the matter of Jia's clan, since Jia Jing hasn't come back yet, Jia Zi has to help keep an eye on...

In this way, before the first lunar month, Jia Zi was already so busy that he didn't even have time to pay attention to some news in the city, so how could he have time to care about Jia Lian's still-unknown marriage?

What's more, Jia Lian's work in the Ministry of Industry has gradually begun to be handy, and Lin Hai, Wei Cheng and others are watching. Zi is worried - if Lin Hai hadn't suddenly mentioned that Jia Lian should marry again, Jia Zi would not have said so much.

Fortunately, they were very satisfied with what they gave to the descendants of the clan during the Chinese New Year, and they did not cause any trouble for Jazi.However, why did Jiazi never expect that when she was busy walking around, someone from the Jia clan would find her directly at the door.

Looking at the person who has been circling around the gate of his house for the past two days, Jia Zi got off his horse without even thinking about it, and rushed directly in front of the man, pointing the long whip in his hand at the man's throat, and shouted sharply: "Say, Who are you? What are you here for? Who sent you here?"

Staring closely at the daring young man in front of him, Jiazi's arms gradually tightened: If the person in front of him made any changes, or dared to lie, then she would definitely not be polite anymore——Just now She didn't hit hard directly, but it was just because the man's eyebrows made her faintly familiar.

The visitor was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a long face and delicate features. He wore a half-worn long gown that was well washed, and there was a bit of wit and intelligence between the brows.

At this moment, this seemingly clever man was obviously startled by Jazi's whip, and almost fell to the ground even with the things in his hands.Facing Jiazi's sharp gaze, the visitor barely suppressed the fear in his heart, and said with a little trembling: "Grandmother, I am Jia Yun!"

Hearing this name, Jiazi was slightly taken aback, put away the whip in his hand, and carefully sized up the person who came: "The old five's family in the west corridor of the back street?"

The back street mentioned by Jiazi is located behind the main street of Rongning Street, and it is the settlement of the Jia family.Except for the Ningrong Second Mansion, most of the descendants of the close branches of the Jia clan in Beijing live here.And the so-called fifth child in Xilangxia is not an outsider, but the grandson of Jia Zi's uncle. Therefore, in terms of relationship, Jia Yun and Jia Zi are closer than Jia Lan of Rongguo Mansion.However, Jiazi's uncle was separated from the Ningguo Mansion long before Jiazi was born, and he rarely had any contact with him in normal times.And after Jia Yun said her name, Jia Zi finally remembered this young man who had been busy helping Zhang Luo when Jia Zhen passed away.

"It's the grandson." Hearing Jia Zi call out her background all at once, Jia Yun felt relieved and nodded quickly: "I never thought my aunt would remember my grandson." With a bit of anxiety, Jia Yun was naturally relieved when he heard that Jia Zi knew about him: Jia Zi didn't directly kick him out, so he still had a chance to tell his reason for coming.

"I met you during Chinese New Year." Jiazi nodded, with a smile on his face: "You came to see me for something! Come on, let's go in and talk about it."

Hearing Jia Zi directly asked if she was looking for her for something, Jia Yun couldn't help showing a touch of embarrassment on her face: If it wasn't for the fact that there was no other way, Jia Yun would be too embarrassed to come to Jia Zi—after all, he and Jia Zi The aunt didn't say a few words at all, and she still wanted to ask Jiazi for help this time. He really didn't know if Jiazi would help him.

Looking at Jia Yun's shy expression, Jia Zi already guessed in his heart why Jia Yun came to her.Therefore, after entering the door, Jia Zi took the opportunity of ordering his servants to prepare dinner for the guests, and asked someone to check Jia Yun's affairs and see if he had caused any trouble.If it’s not a big deal, Jia Zi wouldn’t mind helping him out—just because Jia Yun didn’t have the nerve to come to his house after wandering around for several days, it’s estimated that if it wasn’t really that there was nothing he could do, he would not come.

"Sit!" Calling Jia Yun to sit down, Jia Zi asked again with concern: "How is your mother?" Jia Yun's father died early, and the mother and son depended on each other.Therefore, Jia Zi could only talk about Jia Yun's mother casually first.As for what Jia Yun asked, Jia Zi naturally would not ask easily: if the matter is within the range she can handle, it is fine, if not, Jia Yun asks her but she refuses, it is not so good—so, Jia No matter what, Zi has to delay until the person who went to inquire about the news returns before making a decision.

"My aunt is worried about you." Jia Yun replied respectfully with a half-respectful body, "Mother is fine. Knowing that my grandson is going to visit my aunt today, I specially asked my grandson to buy some things for my aunt." !” Jia Yun said, before putting the things she had been carrying on the table.

Looking at Jia Yun's expectant and shy expression on Jia Yun's face, Jia Zi knew what was going on when he thought about it: the life of those Jia clan members in the back street is naturally not rich, and they usually live in poverty. Li is also mostly supported by the Ningrong Second Mansion.Therefore, Jia Yun was naturally worried that she would not like what he brought.

"Look at you kid," Jiazi said with a smile, "You're here, what else are you bringing?"

"It's just some small cakes," Jia Yun said with a quick smile, "It's good that my aunt doesn't dislike it." Jia Yun said, and secretly looked up at Jia Zi, for fear that Jia Zi would dislike herself because of the cheap cakes.

Seeing Lin Yan's excited look when he knew there was a pastry, Jiazi couldn't help laughing: "Cake? It seems that Yan'er is lucky. By the way, you know that Yan'er is my youngest son." .”

Seeing that Jia Zi didn't feel disgusted by the crude things he brought, Jia Yun breathed a sigh of relief: It's not that he's stingy, but the money to buy these pastries, he managed to scrape together Made it up.And Jiazi, as the daughter of the Duke's mansion, the mighty General Xiaoning, and her husband is a well-known servant of the official department, she has never seen anything good, or eaten anything delicious.Therefore, Jia Yun was really embarrassed to come to the door with these cheap things, and worried that Jia Zi would not like these things.

Coincidentally, just as Jiazi mentioned Lin Yan, Lin Yan rushed in from the outside and threw himself on Jiazi's lap: "Mother, you are back, I miss you so much!"

"Naughty boy." Jiazi pinched Lin Yan's face with a smile, then pointed to Jia Yun next to him and said, "This is Yun'er, the son of your fifth sister-in-law in Rongning Back Street. This little fat man is my youngest son." Lin Yan." Jia Zi smiled and introduced Lin Yan to Jia Yun.

Jia Yun was somewhat flattered by the intimate address.Therefore, Jia Yun, who stood up the moment Lin Yan rushed in, bowed to Lin Yan and respectfully said, "My nephew, Jia Yun, greets my uncle."

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, and only after seeing Jia Zi nodding slightly towards him did he realize that the "little uncle" was actually calling him himself.Realizing that he had another nephew this big, Lin Yan quickly put his hands behind his back, and said like a little adult: "Get up, we are all a family, you are welcome."

Jia Yun smiled and stood up.And Lin Yan's gaze has been attracted by the pastry bag placed on the table.

Swallowing his saliva lightly, Lin Yan looked at Jia Yun with a smile, and the smile on his face was also very kind: "Yun'er, is this yours? What's in it? Can it be eaten?"

"It's a snack brought by my nephew, if..."

Before Jia Yun finished speaking, Lin Yan hurriedly said, "Can I have a taste?" As he spoke, Lin Yan kept looking at Jia Yun and blinking, looking cute.

"Of course." Jia Yun nodded with a smile.

Seeing Jia Yun nodding, Lin Yan rushed over, quickly opened the package, carefully picked up a piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth, nodded and said, "Delicious, delicious. Mom," Lin Yan held up the pastry and handed it to her. It came to Jiazi's mouth and said with a smile: "You eat too."

With Lin Yan's hand, Jia Zi also took a bite of the pastry, and squeezed Lin Yan's ear with a smile: "It's really good. Yun'er has taken care of it too."

"My aunt is scolding Jia Yun for saying that," Jia Yun said modestly, "As long as my aunt and uncle like it."

At the moment, Jia Zi was chatting with Jia Yun with a smile on his face, not citing Jia Yun's intention at all; and beside him, there was the sound of Lin Yan eating cakes non-stop.

In fact, Jia Yun is smart and good at talking, and has always been very likable.If he was facing someone else at this moment, he probably would have found a chance to speak out his intentions long ago.It's just that Jia Zi is the most famous aunt of the Jia family, a well-known Rakshasa on the battlefield, with a fierce reputation outside, Jia Yun has an unconscious awe of Jia Zi, so naturally she dare not flatter others Casually flattering Jiazi, for fear that Jiazi would feel dissatisfied with him because he had fallen into the prestige of his ancestors.

It wasn't until Lin Hai came back that Jia Yun finally relaxed: Although she didn't fully recover her former intelligence, she also lost the restraint she had when facing Jia Zi.

And Jia Zi also learned about Jia Yun's situation from the people sent to the back street: Jia Yun had no father since she was a child, and lived with her mother, relying on the family's support to grow up so big.Like most backstreet people, Jia Yun has no property.The difference between Jia Yun and Jia Chang, Jia Ling, and many others is that Jia Yun did not develop the habit of being lazy and idle, but took on the family's livelihood prematurely, and learned about the warmth and coldness of human relationships...

In the end, under Lin Hai's coaxing, Jia Yun finally revealed his intention of coming: he has grown up and wants to ask Jia Zi for help to find him a job that can support him and his mother.

In fact, after watching the construction of the relatives' villa in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yun originally wanted to find a job in the garden like Jia Qin and Jia Ling of the same family.However, the person who is in charge of these matters now is Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng is always a greedy person, he can't afford money to gain connections with Wang Xifeng.Therefore, he can only come to Jiazi to try his luck first: if Jiazi really refuses to help, he can only find a way to borrow some money from his uncle Bu Shiren, and then ask Wang Xifeng.

Originally, seeing Jia Zi's kind appearance, Jia Yun thought that he could speak easily; but, until Lin Hai came back, he didn't have any chance to mention this matter.Even though he finally opened his mouth at this moment, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that Jiazi would say something ugly directly.

"So you want to find a job?" Jia Zi shook his head lightly: "I thought..."

Lin Hai looked at Jia Zi in confusion, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Jia Yun on the side also looked at Jia Zi curiously.

"It's okay." Jia Zi smiled, turned his head to look at Jia Yun: "You child, just tell me no to this kind of thing, why bother freezing in front of my house for a few days!" Jia Zi never mentioned it. How did she talk about him before, as long as Jia Yun said her intentions, she would find a way to attract him elsewhere.

Jia Yun was also obedient, and immediately smiled and said, "Isn't it embarrassing, grandson!"

"What's so embarrassing about that?" Jia Zi smiled and said, "In this case, I'll ask directly: what kind of job do you want?"

As soon as Jia Yun heard that she was good, she quickly responded with a smile: "As long as the grandson can support himself and his mother, it will be fine."

Hearing Jia Yun's words, even Lin Hai on the side nodded: Not greedy, but also filial, if he can keep it up, this Jia Yun is really a usable person.

"Do you want to join the army?" Jiazi thought for a while, then asked softly, "Or do you want to do business, or are you better at handling common things?"

As soon as Jia Zi heard the word "join the army" in Jia Zi's mouth, Jia Yun was shocked: Does Jia Zi really want to throw him into the military camp?Alas, if he had known this, he might as well have gone to Wang Xifeng directly!

"This..." After hesitating for a while, Jia Yun said softly: "The grandson also wants to join the army and be loyal to the country. However, the mother only has one child, the grandson. If the grandson leaves after joining the army, wouldn't the mother have to worry about it? Isn't it the grandson's unfilial piety?"

How could it be possible that Jia Zi could not understand the meaning of Jia Yun's words: She never thought that the Jia family, who was born in the military, would not be in such a state now, and that not many descendants of the Jia family wanted to join the army: If her grandfather Jia Yan found out, he would probably sit up from the coffin in anger.

"In that case," Jia Zi stared until Jia Yun was in a cold sweat, and then said, "It happens that I just bought a few shops recently, why don't you look after them for me first. I have too many things to do, and I don't have time to be busy with these things , with you watching, I can rest assured. If you want, come over tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. "

Originally, when Jiazi didn't go back and forth, she still had to watch what happened in the shop under her name.But now, Xin Qin has to be busy with the affairs of the mansion and take care of the shop under Jia Zi's name, it is really too busy.Therefore, Jiazi has long wanted to find someone to help.It happened that Jia Yun came over to seek business, and he was the grandson of Jia Zi, so Jia Zi simply handed over the shop to Jia Yun and Zhang Luo.

Hearing Jia Zi's words, Jia Yun was slightly taken aback: He never thought that Jia Zi would trust him so much, and directly handed over his shop to him.

"Aunt and grandma don't worry," Jia Yun nodded emphatically, looking moved, "The grandson will definitely live up to the trust of my aunt and grandma."

"I dare to say that, of course I believe you." Jiazi smiled: "Okay, then you can come over tomorrow morning. I will have someone take you to the shop. The shop may need some simple renovations, so you can start right away." Keep busy, no problem?" Jia Zi is naturally not worried about Jia Yun betraying her: no one in the entire Jia family knows her violent temper, if Jia Yun really dares to betray her, she will really die deal.

In the end, Jia Yun thankfully took the medicinal materials and cloth that Jia Zi specially prepared for his mother and went home.Jia Yun's mother was naturally taken aback when she saw Jia Yun returning home with so many things, and was even more pleasantly surprised when she heard that her son had already got a job with Jia Zi.

After knowing that Jia Zi had no scruples in handing over the shop under his name to Jia Yun, Jia Yun's mother also urged him to do things well and never let Jia Zi worry about it.

Early the next morning, Jia Yun came to the Lin Mansion wearing the clothes his mother had washed for him overnight, and followed Xin Qin to the shop that Jia Zi had recently bought.Jiazi went to Gyeonggi Daying early in the morning.

It's just that Jiazi never thought that just after she came home at night, she saw a familiar figure standing at the door of her house, stretching her neck and looking nonstop at the way she came from.

The author has something to say: Let Jia Yun run errands for Jia Zi in the future, so there is no need to recognize Jia Baoyu as a father

small theater:

Lin Yan: Cousin Lian, do you really want to get married?

Lin Hui: I heard that the Princess and the County Lord are both good-looking, and they will not wrong Cousin Lian

Lin Daiyu: Since it belongs to the county lord, she must be well-bred and won't bully Cousin Lian all day long.

Wei Ruolan: The most important thing is that the county master must be easier to serve than Wang Xifeng, and Cousin Lian's life will be easier than before

Jia Baoyu: That is, you will no longer be able to find concubines

Jia Lian: Get out, you don't even have the qualifications
