[Red House] Lixian

"This city is really prosperous, with a lot of people and a bustling market, which is even higher than our Jinling." Hong Chun sat in the carriage, secretly opened the curtain to peek outside.

Huang Yang saw it, stretched out his hand to hold it down, shook his head slightly, and glanced at the girl Jia Mei from the corner of his eyes.

How dare you be so unruly in front of the mistress?

Hong Chun stuck out her tongue, not daring to speak any more, and sat straight beside Wei Qian.

Wei Qian secretly smeared Baihua dew, and was cultivating her eyes according to the secret technique of Lingwan, closing her eyes and resting her mind, pretending to take a nap.But when Jia Mei heard Hongchun's words, she couldn't help but look out of the window. "Yes, this Chang'an is indeed prosperous. It's more lively than the last time I came back, which shows that today's emperor is Sheng Deming, and this Lihe year name is used well."

Jia Mei thinks about her biological mother, and is worried about returning to Jia's mansion, her eyes fall out of the window in a daze.

Rongning Street, after passing the gate of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Mei came to her senses, and soon saw the big stone lion at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

"Ah—" Wei Qian groaned softly, opened her eyes involuntarily, and quickly looked out the window.

According to what Ling Wan told her, she opened her eyes and saw the two big stone lions lying outside the Rongguo Mansion.

Wisps of green air fell into the lion's body from above, and the two lions stared in all directions like living creatures, guarding the gate of Rongguo Mansion.Following Wei Qian's gaze, the stone lion turned to look at Wei Qian as if it had a spirit.

Immediately, Wei Qian shuddered and understood why Xuan Yun refused to let her open her eyes early.

When you see the other person, of course the other person can also see you.

Fortunately, this stone lion is not an evil spirit, it is just a stone statue of a beast guarding the Rongguo Mansion.Feeling the Jia family lineage in Wei Qian, she didn't pay attention again.

Wei Qian broke out in a cold sweat for no reason, and Hong Chun next to her was so frightened that she hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you not acclimatized? Would you like something to eat?"

"No need." With a forced smile, Wei Qian thought to himself.There is no movement of the stone lion at the gate of Ningguo Mansion. Could it be that there is some mystery in it?

"Auntie, we're here." Outside the carriage, Jia Lian came to invite him.

"I'm fine, you go to the old sister of the Wang family and invite them down." Jia Mei got out of the car by herself, and Dai Lan, Huang Yang, and Hong Chun followed, and finally Wei Qian landed with the support of everyone.

The three gates of Rongguo Mansion were all open, and guests kept coming and going.

At this time, Jia Lian invited the three daughters of the Wang family who were in the carriage behind to come down.

It's not the first time for Wang Ziteng's wife to come here. When she saw those diners, she smiled and said to Wang Xifeng's mother and daughter: "Look, this is the official family of a prince."

Now the Ningrong Mansion is no longer what it used to be, but as long as Jia Daishan is still there, outsiders must also take a high look at the Rongguo Mansion.Even if it's just Jia Amnesty's continuation, the ostentation is not inferior to those first marriages of the rich and powerful.

"The wedding banquet is still three days away, and it's already so lively at this time."

Three carriages stopped at the door, and a man in a blue jacket immediately ran out of them.

Lin Zhixiao first came to report to Jia Lian: "Young master, the uncle said that there are guests at the Rongxi hall, so you should take the female relatives to the east courtyard first."

Then, Lin Zhixiao saluted Jia Mei and stood beside Jia Lian.

"Guest? Which family are you from?" Jia Mei glanced at the sedan chairs parked beside her, and recognized the logo on the sedan chairs: "Is it Nan'an Palace?"

"Exactly."

The four kings and eight princes are all the dignitaries of the first dynasty. Jia Mei knew that Jia Shishi would definitely be with her old relatives at this time, so she took the initiative to bring the Wang family to Jia Shen's side from the east corner gate.

Now Jia Daishan and his wife live in Rongxi Hall, Jia She is in the east courtyard, and Jia Zheng's family is in the west.Jia Mei has a bad relationship with Erfang, so she will never take the Wang family to the west.

The corners of the mouths of the two Mrs. Wang froze, and it was hard to say that they would go to Jia Wang's by themselves.In addition, Mrs. Wang Zisheng wanted to arrange Wang Xifeng's marriage, so she followed Jia Mei to the big room.

Seeing that Jia Amnesty's arrangement was a bit messy, Jia Mei frowned secretly: After all, there is no serious master, and elder brother really needs someone to take care of him.

At the gate of the courtyard, Jia Mei didn't want to see those concubines, so she ordered Lin Zhixiao to say, "People from Nan'an Palace are here. My mother and elder brother must be seeing guests. I don't know where the second sister-in-law is now? The relatives of the Wang family have arrived. How can she ask for help?" Come and entertain me?"

When Lin Zhixiao heard this, he hurried to the second room to report.

Just at this time Mrs. Wang came out of the Buddhist hall, and came to pick him up when she received the news.

When the sister-in-law met, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Standing by the side, Wei Qian listened to Mrs. Wang and Jia Mei reminiscing about each other's past, feeling vaguely wrong.Although the two were full of smiles, their tongues and arrows intersected secretly, and even Wang Xifeng felt that something was wrong.

The two wives of the Wang family saw that something was wrong, so they took the initiative to change the topic. Mrs. Wang Ziteng said: "Sister, I'm tired of waiting for the horses and horses. My sister feels a headache after walking all the way. Let's find a place to rest."

Back then, Jia Mei had a good relationship with her sister-in-law, and she often gave Jia Wang a bad face when her sister-in-law was in charge of the house.It is normal for the two to have a bad relationship now.But Wang Ziteng and Wang Zisheng's wives are serious daughter-in-laws of the Wang family, and they are the backers of Jia Wang's family in Jia's mansion. After listening to the words of the two sister-in-laws, they don't give Jia Mei any common sense.

He simply said to Jia Mei: "Lian'er sent someone to bring the news a few days ago, and the apartment has been prepared early. The two sisters-in-law don't need to go to the other courtyard in the capital, the second room has already been cleaned up. As for the younger sister..." Jia Mrs. Wang smiled sarcastically, looked at Wei Qian, and said, "Master, there are many concubines here, so my sister must not want my niece to mix with those scumbags."

Jia Mei's complexion changed, how could she not tell that this was secretly mocking her as a concubine who lived a low life?

"Back then, my grandmother's courtyard was vacant, and my mother had someone clean it up two days ago, so my sister and niece can live in it." Jia Wang said with a business-like look: "By the way, do you want to take my sister to the south courtyard?"

"No need, I know the way!" Jia Mei said coldly.

"Then sister, do whatever you want." Jia Wang immediately left with the Wang family.

Before leaving, Wang Xifeng secretly gave Wei Qian a wink, and Wei Qian shook her head slightly, indicating that it was okay.

Wang Xifeng and Wei Qian have known each other for many years. As soon as they met, Jia Wang targeted her close friend, making Wang Xifeng immediately have a bad impression of this aunt.The seeds are planted, but still worried that there will be no chance to germinate in the future?

When the Wang family left, Jia Mei told Lin Zhixiao: "Where's your guy? I don't have anyone here, let her come here."

Lin Zhixiao nodded again and again, found his son, and took Jia Mei to the courtyard where his grandmother lived.

Of all the houses in Rongguo Mansion, Rongxi Hall is naturally the best.Jia Mei's grandmother also lived here as the head of the house, and Jia She grew up in Rongxi Hall since childhood.Jia Mei followed suit, better than her two older sisters.But his grandmother seems to have built a Buddhist hall in the south courtyard for the sake of quietness, and sometimes she will live there for a few days.

Now that Jia Shishi is living in Rongxi Hall, he naturally won't let Jia Mei live with him.So I sent him to the Chaoyin Academy built by his grandmother.

"Chaoyin Cave?" Seeing the plaque on the yard, Wei Qian immediately thought of it.

"That's right, my grandmother believed in Buddhism, so she built this other courtyard back then."

Walking into the yard, looking at the small courtyard, Jia Mei sneered: "See, this is trying to punish me!"

Chaoyinyuan has been unoccupied for many years, and even the small Buddhist hall here has been closed for many years.Except for an old locust tree in the yard, there are no other plants.

Turning around, Wei Qian said: "Finally, it has been cleaned, otherwise the yard has been unoccupied for many years, and the weeds are overgrown. With the fallen leaves of the old locust tree, it should be full of yellow leaves."

"Brother must have someone clean it on a regular basis." Jia Mei came to the nearby Buddhist hall.Looking through the window, I saw that the Avalokitesvara of Sending Children was nowhere to be found, and said to Wei Qian, "This white jade Avalokitesvara was originally enshrined here, and it was invited by my grandmother from outside. Now it seems that it must have been taken by your second aunt." gone."

However, whether it is the Buddhist hall or the main house, they have all been cleaned well.There are a lot of tea sets, porcelain, curtains and mattresses.

"I have a good relationship with my grandmother, so it is logical for me to live here. You can also say that it made me miss my grandmother. I think it was my mother's handwriting?" After Jia Mei saw it, she ordered Dailan and the three to clean up the house.

Jia Mei pulled Wei Qian to sit on the stone bench under Lao Huai: "Did you write down what I told you on the way?"

"Write it down, if you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy, my daughter knows."

Rongguo Mansion is not Wei Mansion after all.In the Wei Mansion, it was Jia Mei who made the decision, but in the Rongguo Mansion, she had to bow her head and be a minor. After all, Jia Mei's biological mother was still in Jia's mother's hands.

If Jia Mei made a slight mistake, Jia Shishi would not be able to take it easy on her, but he could take it on her mother.

"You have also seen the situation in Jia's mansion just now. There is no personal housekeeper for your uncle at the big house, just your uncle and your cousin, so your second aunt is in charge of all the housekeeping."

Jia Mei sneered: "I have had a bad relationship with your second aunt since I was in the boudoir, and she must be a housekeeper at this time, which must be bad luck for us."

"After all, my mother and I belong to the Wei family, so what else can she do?" Wei Qian didn't think so, "We just came here to celebrate my uncle's remarriage. Could it be that she can drive us out?"

No, no matter how sick Jia Daishan is now, he is still the head of the family.It is not allowed for a woman to dominate Jia's mansion.

"Of course I don't worry about them depriving us of food and clothing, but your marriage will definitely be attacked by them." Jia Mei still doesn't know Jia Wang's family?

Taking the opportunity, wouldn't he take advantage of Wei Qian's marriage to stab them a few words?

"Just be patient, anyway, we won't be staying in Jia's house." Jia Mei said calmly, "Just don't cause trouble for your grandmother."

Naturally, this grandmother was not Jia Shishi, but Jia Mei's biological mother, Aunt He.Because Jia Mei was born, she also has a foothold in Jia's mansion.But after all, Jia Mei is far away in Jinling, and she can't reach her own mother. How can she rely solely on Jia Daishan?

That's why Jia Mei kept in touch with Jia She, and also wanted to let Jia She take care of her mother.

Of course, Jia Amnesty is Jia Shishi's own son after all, and it is impossible to expect him to help Aunt He deal with Jia Shishi.You can only rely on him, don't let Aunt He be treated badly.

Therefore, Jia Mei didn't want to come back to Jia's house at all.If it wasn't for Yu's disagreement, she would have thought of taking Aunt He away.

Wei Qian was sensible since she was a child, and understood that Aunt He was the biggest concern of Jia Mei in Jia's mansion, so she nodded repeatedly: "Daughter knows."

After settling down, Jia Wang rushed over again.

"Just now I was busy dealing with the old relatives of the Wang family, and treated my younger sister poorly. Surely my younger sister won't be angry?" Jia Wang led a team of people.In addition to Zhou Rui's family, there are eight maidservants, each of whom is gorgeously dressed.After seeing it, Wei Qian compared it with Hongchun and others around her, and smiled wryly in her heart: This Jia's mansion is really luxurious!

Those first-class maids are no less well-dressed than the ladies of low-level officials.

Jia Wang's face was black-hearted, Jia Mei had learned about it a long time ago, and after a few words, Jia Wang's eyes fell on Wei Qian: "I think this is my niece, right? I didn't pay attention with Feng girl just now, so I looked alone. She really is a beauty."

Wang Xifeng came to Jia's mansion eager to show off, dressed in a natural and luxurious atmosphere, while Wei Qian tied her hair and practiced, she was just wearing a small green skirt, which was the same style as Jia Mei's red skirt embroidered with roses, with some simple grass embroidered on it, Feiyan.

"It's too plain." Jia Wang tsk-tsk: "I happen to have two red cloths here, and I'm too gorgeous in my clothes, and these little girls are just right. We people, wearing those red clothes, look tender." for what?"

Jia Mei's face was dark, and she could hear Jia Wang's accusations against Sang and Huai.

"Don't bother auntie." Wei Qian smiled softly, and said with a modest smile: "My nephew is used to dressing plainly, so it's really uncomfortable to change suddenly. I heard that cousin Jia Zhu has reached the age of blind date now, so it's better for auntie to keep it. It might as well be a meeting gift for my cousin."

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Wei Qian dropped the topic, and Jia Mei reacted immediately: "Speaking of which, how is Jia Zhu's marriage? Mother is getting older these years, it's your mother who has to worry about it. If it doesn't work, you can let it go Is the sister-in-law of the eldest brother's continuation here to help with the look?"

When Jia Amnesty was mentioned, Mrs. Wang's heart skipped a beat.If it was said who in Jia's mansion disliked Jia She's Xu Xian the most, no one would dare to say if Mrs. Wang said one.

If someone is difficult to deal with, who will be the steward?Moreover, if there is no signboard of Rongguo Mansion, if Jia Zhu from the second room wants to go on a blind date, it will be of a different level.

"By the way, the second brother is still in the Ministry of Industry?" What's the point, mentioning Jia Zheng's official rank, looking at his fifth-rank imperial order, Jia Wang looked at the triumphant Jia Mei.

No matter how bad it is, Wei Yan gave Jia Mei a third-rank order!

"Your second brother is just like that, so he can't compare to your younger sister." After being extremely angry, Jia Wang returned to her smile, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my younger sister's life is better. My brother-in-law got promoted step by step with the Huang family's line, but my niece This marriage..."

Seeing that Mrs. Jia really poked Wei Qian's marriage, Jia Mei's face darkened.

Everyone has rebellious scales, and Wei Qian, like Aunt He, is the two most important people of Jia Mei. Of course, Wei Ying must be added now.

"Look at what sister-in-law said, is it possible that sister-in-law is going to show Qian'er another lover?" Suddenly, a soft female voice sounded not far away, Wei Qian looked up, and his eyes lit up.

I saw that person was beautiful and refined, with a high bun, and there was a spirit of wisdom between his brows.

Jia Min was wearing a gold silk pleated skirt and came slowly holding an incense fan.

Looking at Jia Wang with a half smile but not a smile: "If sister-in-law is so worried about Qian'er, why not find her a lover from the Wang family?"

Jia Amnesty continued, and Jia Min also rushed back from the south, following Jia Mei back and forth.

Although the relationship between the two sisters is at odds, their dislike of Jia Wang's is even stronger.At this moment, they looked at each other and smiled, and both of them ran against Jia Wang's with words.

Jia Mei said: "I just came back, I haven't had time to meet my father, so it's not good to mention this matter to my father. Since my sister-in-law is interested, why not mention it to my father so that he can break the engagement?"

Who is Jia Daishan? If he really tells the story, why is it unclear that Jia Wang is mocking Jia Mei?

"I heard that my brother-in-law is now officially ranked as the third rank? I want to congratulate my sister. If my brother-in-law can win you a first rank in the future, my sister will not forget my sister."

"My sister is not bad either. My brother-in-law Lin is now receiving the Holy Family and has a bright future. I'm counting on you to support me."

Both of them had orders of the third rank, Jia Wang saw them talking about their husbands, and thinking about Jia Zheng, secretly bit a mouthful of silver teeth and swallowed them into his stomach.

Jia Mei and Jia Min were chatting and laughing, although the two had disagreements when they were young, but now their husband's family is in the south, Yangzhou and Jinling are not far away, and there may be a possibility of joining hands in the officialdom.

No matter how big the conflicts were when you were young, aren’t you still on your own outside?

The two reached a tacit understanding, and Jia Wangshi was directly angered away with your words and me.
