Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Although Jia Lian is the eldest son and grandson in Rongguo Mansion, his status is not the most honorable one.Previously, there was Jia Zhu who was very good at reading, and he suppressed him so hard that Jia Zhu even snatched his place in the Guozijian, which belonged to him, and then another Jia Baoyu came.

If it is said that Jia Zhu is still two points convinced, he is indeed better at reading than himself. The family has always wanted to switch from martial arts to literature since his grandfather, but neither his father nor his second uncle had that talent.My father is a complete playboy, illiterate in writing, and although my second uncle claims to be a scholar, he is just a dead reader and can't adapt at all.Otherwise, before his death, his grandfather would not have used his old face to ask him for an official position as the master bookkeeper.But Jia Zhu is better than his father, so he is already a juren. Unfortunately, his body is not good. Reading is a physical task, and he likes to do things that make people more attractive.

His health got worse and worse, and he became seriously ill when he came out of the Jinshi examination.

And because of the failure, he was severely scolded by his prudish second uncle. With depression in his heart, he became more attentive and hardworking in his studies.In less than two years, he emptied his body and died of an illness.

Originally, I thought that it was time for Jia Zhu to come out on her own.But the Wang family gave birth to Jia Baoyu.

If Jia Baoyu can bring benefits to the mansion, that's fine.It doesn't matter if it's really a talent.But what is Jia Baoyu.On weekdays, his daily life is similar to his, and he just hangs out in the inner curtain, except flirting with the maids, having fun, and there is nothing else to do.

However, she was born with only a title of jade, but she won the favor of thousands of people in the mansion.

No matter what, this made me unconvinced.

Before he was reborn, he was just a little jealous and said a few acid words, but after rebirth, he only felt that he was really too stupid before.How could he be jealous of such a worthless person.

Yes, not at all.Jia Baoyu's cleverness and obedience is indeed better than many people, but what's the use?He hates official career so much, every time he uses this to persuade him, he always looks disgusted and displeased.Moreover, his cleverness was not put into stereotyped literature, but was used in poems and some rouge gouache researched on his daughter's house.Neither is partiality.Even when it comes to poetic talent, he is not as good as Sister Lin at the top, and Sister Bao at the bottom, so what is there to be proud of.

That being the case, his cleverness was of no use at all.

It was such a person who had made him jealous for more than ten years.In the end, it was also because of him that he exhausted himself to death.

Jia Lian only felt that he was really stupid enough to be thorough.

After being reborn, Jia Lian only wanted to change his destiny wholeheartedly, but the timing of his rebirth was a bit wrong.It was just a few days after marrying Wang Xifeng, this is not a good time, although he is not a very smart person, but he still understands himself.He himself is really not a student, and he probably has no hope for the imperial examination.

Fortunately, he also understands his own strengths, he is eloquent and slick, and his character is very suitable for officialdom.

After being reborn, Jia Lian thought about everything carefully, and finally decided, just waiting for an opportunity.

If he remembers correctly, Sister Lai Ribao is a person of great fortune and great blessing, as long as he can get on line with her, he may not be in his prime.It's just that it's not easy to get in touch with Xue Baochai.And although he only heard about it, he also knew that Xue Baochai would never want useless people.If this is the case, he must enrich himself well before Xue Baochai comes.

After two years of preparation, Xue Baochai and his family finally came to Beijing.

After some preparations, he finally got in touch with Xue Baochai. Although there were a little twists and turns in the middle, he finally reached an intention to cooperate with Xue Baochai.

He originally thought that Xue Baochai was taught by Meng Shihan after getting married, and this ability became stronger day by day, and won the favor of Prince Yu and the Holy Majesty, but now it seems that it is not like that.Because it didn't take long for Xue Baochai to get a chance to work abroad.

The magistrate of Lantai County.

Although he is only a seventh-rank official, he still has real power in his hands. As long as he performs well when he is in office, even if he does nothing.With his background, his official career will be much smoother than ordinary Jinshi students in the future.So he was very happy, but he didn't expect that his wife would almost hold him back.

When people in the Mansion talked about Wang Xifeng, everyone said that she was a shrewd person, with very strong abilities and wrists, surpassing more than ten men.But as far as he is concerned, he is just a fool who believes what others say?I really thought she was important in Mrs. Wang's heart.It has been two years since she married into their mansion, and she has not seen her own identity clearly.She was the eldest wife's daughter-in-law first and then Mrs. Wang's niece, but she was so good that she turned around and let Mrs. Wang play around.

Although she recognized Mrs. Wang's true face through her own efforts, she was still hopelessly stupid.He actually listened to other people's words, and actually told himself not to be appointed outside, and to stay in the mansion, waiting to inherit the title in the future.The noble title in this mansion belongs to him, although it is a third rank, but it is just a false title and has no strength at all, not even a salary.

There is no such thing as something that is really caught in one's own hands.

"Second Master, we've arrived at the mansion. It's time to get out of the car." Just as Jia Lian was thinking, he heard Zhao'er's cautious voice from outside.

Pulling Jia Lian out of the memory, she looked a little stunned, she straightened her clothes almost subconsciously, and then answered, "Okay, I see." After saying this, he walked out of the car.This is a habit he developed when he was the county magistrate in Lantai County. Because of some things that happened, he is now very unaccustomed to having servants or maids serving in the car, and Zhaoer and the driver are always sitting outside together. .

Zhao'er carefully helped Jia Lian get off the carriage, glanced at the side door, and said in a low voice, "Second Master, it's up to the housekeeper to pick him up in person. This time, Second Master has returned home in good clothes." Said this When she spoke, Zhao'er couldn't help but have a look of complacency in her tone.

In fact, during the three years in Lantai County, the second master did not have any meritorious demerits at the beginning, and his political achievements can only be regarded as mediocre, but this is already a very rare thing in a noble family.Needless to say, before he left, Er Ye had cracked a major femicide case of a vile nature, successfully caught the perverted murderer, and won the hearts of the people.When they left, the common people also gave Erye a plaque of Master Qingtian. You must know that such a title means that Erye has won the hearts of the people, and the review of Erye's future career is very important.

This time when he returns to Beijing, the second master's official position must be promoted.

When he went out with the second master back then, many servants laughed at him. An official position the size of a sesame seed deserves such joy.But now they don't talk about it.

After two lifetimes of life, Jia Lian's temperament has settled somewhat. At this time, he said with a faint smile: "It's just a coincidence and good luck. That's why we got a case. Don't go around talking about it so that people don't think it's wrong." He became frivolous with just a little merit." He had just returned to Beijing, and it was the time when he was being assessed by the Holy One, and he didn't know how many eyes were on him, and it must not be because of a carelessness, the gain outweighs the loss, and it will be ugly.

"Yes, Second Master, the servant knows." Zhao'er also knew that Jia Lian was currently undergoing a trial assessment, so naturally she didn't dare to be careless and immediately bowed down to answer.

Jia Lian still had some trust in this young man who had been by his side for several years, so he nodded and stopped talking.

Lai Da also came over with a few young men, and said with a smile: "The second master is back. The old lady has been thinking about it for a long time, so she sent the servants to wait for him early in the morning. It was a hard journey for the second master. Come in quickly." Although the words sounded warm, there was a hint of displeasure in the tone after listening carefully.

Jia Lian glanced at Lai Da, nodded slightly, and did not speak.Lift your feet and walk inside.As for Lai Da, relying on a little affection in front of the elders to support him, if it was before, he might still think it was a snake, but now.He has already learned a truth, that is, no one will wrong him if he is wronged in this life.Life is so long, there is no interest in living too much, not to mention that although Lai Da is said to be the chief housekeeper of the mansion, he is nothing more than a slave after all.

He is the master, only he will show him face, there is no reason for him to show face to himself.

Lai Da watched Jia Lian walk in without saying a word, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face quickly.Does the second master Lian really think that being a small sesame official for three years is a big deal?Even if he has meritorious service, he will be promoted to one level at most, and he will be promoted to one level from the seventh rank, which is only from the sixth rank, and he is still a petty official.

In the capital, those of the fourth and fifth ranks are all caught, not to mention that he is merely from the sixth rank, which is not worth mentioning.If it weren't for the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian would be nothing.Now it's time to put on a face for him.I really don't know what to say.

Lai Da is a shrewd person. Although he has 12 points of dissatisfaction with Jia Lian in his heart, he doesn't show much on his face.

Jia Lian was not interested in Lai Da's attitude at all. In fact, Zhao'er and the others might not know it yet, but Jia Lian himself had already received an order on the way back. This time, he will directly enter the Ministry of Officials to be the head of the official department.Although it is still not very eye-catching, the Ministry of Officials is a good place to be in charge of the appointment and removal of civil servants in the world.The power in his hands is much greater than that of his second uncle who is Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Industry.

What's more, he may not have no chance of promotion in the future.

Of course, Jia Lian would not tell anyone before the official transfer order came down.

"Second Master, what's the arrangement with Aunt Hui?" Zhao'er suddenly asked.The Aunt Hui he was talking about was called Qiu Yun, who was the housekeeper Jia Amnesty gave to Jia Lian before he took office. Because she was really a smart person, Jia Lian promoted her to her within three months of following Jia Lian to Lantai County. Became an aunt.At the beginning, she was called Aunt Qiu, but later Jia Lian saw that Qiuyun was really smart, and even helped him a lot in government affairs, and every suggestion he made was of great help to him.

Even before returning to the case of killing women, Jia Lian might not have been able to solve the case so smoothly if she hadn't found the key clues.She deserves credit.

It was precisely for this reason that Jia Lian ordered all the people to call Aunt Qiu as Aunt Hui, implying that she was smart.

When Jia Lian heard Zhao'er's words, a dazed look appeared on Jia Lian's face, "Look, I almost forgot about this hero. Go over and tell Qiuyun first, and let her follow us. As for the plan, we will wait until later." It’s over, let the second grandma arrange a place for her to live.” In fact, at the beginning, when Jia She gave him such a housekeeper, he didn’t like it.But Jia Amnesty acted as if he couldn't refute, and seeing that she was as beautiful as a flower, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.Otherwise, she would not have given Qiu Yun's contract of sale to Wang Xifeng directly.

But now I regret it a little.Compared to Wang Xifeng, this Qiuyun is a hundred times smarter.Not only is she gentle and considerate in life, but she is very comfortable serving herself.She is very thoughtful and can help me a lot in government affairs. Although sometimes her suggestions are a bit narrow because of her limited vision, but as far as women are concerned, she is already very good.

"Yes." Zhao'er replied.
