The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

As soon as Jia Lian's car arrived at the gate of the Rong Mansion, the gatekeepers seemed to be crazy. They knocked their feet on the ground in a hurry and ran towards the mansion, shouting "Second Master Lian is back".

Xing'er got on the pedals and asked Lian Er Ye to get out of the carriage.The two masters and servants then walked towards Rongxi Hall. The young servants they met along the way had strange expressions on their faces, with averted eyes, and occasionally there was a mocking look in their eyes.When they arrived outside the Rongxi Hall, several young men who were close to Jia Lian gathered around and carefully told Jia Lian what had happened.

"...Because I ran out of time in the morning, the old lady is angry at the moment, suppressing her anger and waiting in Rongxi hall, waiting for the second master to come back."

Jia Lian didn't care much about these things, and just asked, "Did you find Baoyu?"

"Not yet. I've searched all over the house, but I can't find anyone."

Xing'er was terrified when he heard this, his forehead was covered with cold sweat immediately, "Second Master, the man hasn't been found yet, the old lady is in a rage right now, why don't we go in."

Jia Lian: "Can you run away?"

Xing'er pursed her lips embarrassingly, and shook her head.That's right, everyone has walked here in a big way, and if they run again, they will definitely annoy the old lady even more.

Jia Lian asked Xing'er to listen to him and whispered a few words to him.Xing'er ordered, nodded.

Zhou Rui's family stood by the door and looked secretly at Jia Lian's master and servant. Seeing their master and servant standing at the door, they seemed to be hesitant to leave. The old lady has been waiting for you for a long time, and she hasn't had breakfast yet."

Zhou Rui's family's words contained subtext: If you dare not enter and run away, that would be a great disrespect.

Jia Lian chuckled: "You who serve the old lady are all blind, don't you know how to serve her well?"

Zhou Rui's family was taken aback, wanted to refute but couldn't speak, so they had to bow their heads and remain silent.

Jia Lian snorted coldly, and strode towards Rongxi Hall.Judging from the servants and maids waiting outside the hall, it seems that the two masters and wives are all gathered.This is funny, Baoyu ran away, and the whole family came to him to have a party without going to look for them, and came to have a child with him.

Jia Lian would like to hear what crooked theories these people have to blame on him.After entering the door, Jia Lian immediately heard Jia's mother yelling sharply, and then broke a teacup.The steaming hot tea was spilled on the ground, and one of the broken porcelain splashed to Jia Lian's feet.

Jia Lian looked down at the broken porcelain and kicked it away.

Seeing his little move, Jia's mother became even more angry, "You bastard, your younger brother is lost, if you don't send someone to look for it, where did you hang out with?"

"All the people in the mansion were sent out to look for him, but they still couldn't find them. How useful are the three or two people in my room? Even those who had served Baoyu and knew his habits couldn't find him. It can be seen that he If you want to hide, no matter how many people there are, you will be looking for it blindly."

As Jia Lian spoke, she turned her gaze to Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on the left side of Jia Mu's lower head.She had a pale face and looked haggard.But those eyes staring at people are very energetic, staring at him fiercely, wishing to turn his eyes into sharp knives and stab him.

Mother Jia stood up angrily, covering her chest with one hand, her body seemed to be crumbling, and pointed at Jia Lian with the other hand, shaking and shaking, "Baoyu is lost with you, don't worry about looking for it, but talk smartly in front of my old lady." Rebuttal, you—”

Jia Amnesty saw that the situation was not good, and anxiously gave Jia Lian winks, hoping that he would give in quickly and make amends to the old lady.

Jia Zheng, like Mrs. Wang, stared at Jia Lian, slapped the table and shouted: "Unfilial son, evil animal!"

When Jia Lian heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he glanced at Jia Amnesty, then turned to Jia Zheng: "What did you say?"

"I scold you—"

"Second brother, Lian'er is my son. What do you call him? If he is an evil animal, what am I, what are you, and what is mother?" Jia She felt that he should stand up at this time. This time they were right.

Jia Zheng was choked for a moment.

Jia's mother looked at Jia She in surprise, and sneered: "After all, it's my son, I want to protect the calf. Does he have no son?"

Jia Amnesty was startled, with a sour feeling in his heart, his brows were furrowed, and he muttered in a low voice with extreme displeasure and aggrieved, "Then I'm your son too."

Jia Amnesty's slightly bitter and bitter words seemed to be clamoring dissatisfiedly that Jia's mother favored the second wife.

Jia Mu's body was shocked suddenly, and her eyes fell on Jia She for a long time, with an indescribable emotion, it seemed that there was a bit of disgust and helplessness in her anger.

After all, she didn't feel guilty at all.

Jia Mu got angry at Jia She: "Shut up, it's none of your business here, just talk about Lian'er bullying Baoyu."

Jia Amnesty's heart is also fleshy, no matter how bastard he is, he has grown from an innocent baby to what he is now.He really hurts, even if he corrects himself and behaves well, so what, the old lady still prefers the second wife.

Jia Lian saw that Jia Amnesty was in a bad mood, and gradually narrowed his eyes, his whole being calm and pretentious.

"Bullying? Oh," Jia Lian looked at Jia's mother coldly, and his tone was full of sarcasm, "this reason should be explained well. Baoyu was not born by me, nor was I taught, nor was I taken care of. What does it matter to me? He came running alone, and I have asked someone to send him back to you immediately, but he was unwilling to break free and run away. What can I do if I have legs growing on him, maybe I want to keep him Can I break his leg? I'm afraid that if I do that, others will not know how to arrange me."

After Jia Lian finished speaking, his eyes turned to Mrs. Wang.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wang stared at Jia Lian, her tone was fierce, she didn't look like someone who was sick and bored.

Mother Jia took a deep breath and found that Jia Lian couldn't control the child anymore, so she sneered angrily: "Okay, you have to be reasonable. It's true that Baoyu ran away without permission. This, and the reason why you didn't send someone to look for Baoyu, I don't have to pursue it, but you tell me, why did you imprison Nanny Li in the firewood room, and even made insulting remarks?"

"Speaking...is not rude? Heh, she's describing herself." Jia Lian sneered, her complexion as cold as cold jade covered with frost.

Jia Mu: "What?"

"Even if I explain it, the two parties must insist on their own opinions. Some people still don't believe my explanation, so why should I waste my words." Jia Lian sneered.

Jia Zheng blushed and wanted to get angry, but Jia She kept staring at him eagerly. He also expected that he would be picked on by his elder brother if he spoke, and he didn't bother to lower his status to defend this matter with him.Hmph, the clearer clears himself!

But Baoyu was a hateful child and disappeared without a sound.If the reason is unavoidable, that's all. If he is self-willed, he has to spank his ass.

"You have a reason for what you say, so of course we believe you." Jia's mother said with restraint, she really wanted to see how reasonable Jia Lian was.

"Oh, it's just such a small matter that turned out such a big wave of flowers." Jia Lian turned his eyes and looked at Jia's mother with a cold look, "Baoyu came to me and hesitated to talk. He was obviously afraid of me, but he wanted to stay with me." I slept together, and I wanted to send him away, but he ran out like crazy. How can such a strange behavior be okay? After Li Nanny came, she questioned me indiscriminately, which is even more strange. Even if she is fine , as Baoyu's nurse, she is also responsible for guarding, but she shirks that she has no milk, so it has nothing to do with Baoyu's escape, how ridiculous. She has taken care of children, she should know that Baoyu is six or seven years old The child is the most playful and doesn't know his age, so he shouldn't take his eyes off him for a moment. If she hadn't been a bad guard at the beginning, how could Baoyu have escaped."

"This..." Jia Mu was startled by Jia Lian's cold eyes, her angry heart seemed to be suddenly wrapped in a layer of frost, and gradually subsided and calmed down.

Jia Lian saw that Jia Mu's emotions finally regained her senses, and began to express her doubts: "It's just a baby, where can I go? It should be wandering around the mansion. If you can't find it in the mansion, there are so many people and no one." Knowing or seeing where he went, there is only one possibility."

Jia's mother understood Jia Lian's meaning, her eyes widened, and she forgot what she was angry with earlier, and asked him eagerly, "You mean someone is helping him and hiding him on purpose?"

"It's hard to tell." Jia Lian glanced at Mrs. Wang, who was already looking a little flustered, and asked someone to bring Nanny Li up.

Only then did Jia's mother understand, no wonder Jia Lian didn't care about Baoyu's running away, no wonder he locked up Nanny Li, it turned out that he had expected something strange in this matter.She had wondered before that when a doll ran out, how could so many people in the Rong Mansion not find it, and someone helped hide it.Mother Jia also cast suspicious eyes on Mrs. Wang and Nanny Li.If today's incident is still Wang's being a monster, as long as she has the evidence, she will not spare her, and she will not want any face in the future, even if her elder brother who is a high official comes to ask for it, it will be useless!

Mrs. Wang hurriedly gave Nanny Li a wink, her gaze was stern.

Nanny Li plopped down on her knees, and immediately cried out that she was wronged, and then pretended to be innocent and asked Jia Lian, "Second Master Lian, how could you wrong this old slave so cruelly? The second master is just helping."

Jia Lian stood with his hands behind his back, with an indescribable smile on the corner of his mouth, he raised his head slightly, like an ice sculpture, no matter what Nanny Li said, he didn't move a bit.

There was a commotion outside at this time, and a child's cry was heard, and then a happy mother-in-law came to announce: "Second Master Bao has been found!"

Jia Mu immediately stood up and happily asked where he was.Then, three thick women entered the door with a stronger woman in their arms. The woman held Baoyu tightly in her arms. Ren Baoyu couldn't escape no matter how hard he struggled in her arms, he could only cry blindly. .

After entering the house, the mother-in-law released Baoyu and knelt on the ground to greet Jia Mu.

Baoyu cried until his eyes were red, and when he saw Jia Mu there, he ran over and threw himself into his arms aggrievedly, saying: "They are so unruly, they dragged me back. I don't know who is the master. Married It's scary to be like this dominatrix when you get married!"

"Who were you born? If a woman didn't marry, she would have you?" Jia Lian asked with a sneer, Baoyu immediately withered, and hid behind Jia Mu in fear, not daring to look at Jia Lian.

Mother Jia asked Baoyu why she ran out. Baoyu flinched and looked away, saying only that she was wrong and acted willfully.

Jia Lian sneered. It stands to reason that adults shouldn't care about children, but at this time he really didn't like Baoyu who was "repenting".Originally, she looked pretty good, with thin skin and tender flesh, exquisite facial features, as beautiful as a doll in a New Year painting, but her temperament was really spoiled, and now she is a little eccentric and a little hypocritical.I'm afraid that when I grow up, I will become very eccentric and hypocritical.

Mrs. Wang gave Jia Lian a dissatisfied look, coaxed Baoyu to come over, crying, "My son!" Then she stroked Baoyu's back and hair with tears in her eyes, feeling very distressed.

Seeing this, Jia's mother felt a little soft-hearted, after all, Mrs. Wang hadn't seen Baoyu for a long time because of her order.

"How did you find him?" Mother Jia asked the woman kneeling on the ground.

The mother-in-law was still gritting her teeth secretly because she had just been insulted by Baoyu. When she heard this question, she looked at Baoyu, not knowing what to say.

Jia Lian interjected, "Old Ancestor, I think Baoyu's mood is not stable, why don't you ask your aunt to take him to rest first, and we'll discuss other matters carefully."

Jia Mu nodded and ordered Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard the sound of caressing, and didn't want to leave, but she had to go because of Jia Mu's order.

When the people left, Jia Lian said: "I sent these four women. After entering the door, I heard that no one was found, so I ordered Xing'er to check the door in the backyard."

The mother-in-law then explained: "The servants listened to what the second master said, went to Lixiangyuan to check the door leading to the outer street, and found that the door lock was smashed open. The slaves thought that since the second master Bao came out After entering the mansion, it must be at some relative's house, and the nearest one is the Ning mansion in the east of the mansion. The servants went to inquire, and found out that the second master Bao had left the mansion with two young servants to pick up medicine and tea smoke, and ran to Brother Rong stayed overnight in Dongfu. Brother Rong didn't know that our house was making a fuss looking for someone, and Second Master Bao told him that he knew about you."

When Jia's mother heard this, she was also a little angry. Baoyu was always a well-behaved child. How could such a thing happen today and lie?Is this the well-behaved, sensible and kind-hearted Baoyu that she loves so much?

Jia Zheng was so angry that his face was red and his ears were red. He scolded Baoyu for being a jerk, and he was about to set up family laws.Jia's mother stopped him a little, but seeing Jia Zheng's insistence, she let him go.

Not long after, Baoyu's howling pain came from the east of the mansion.

Jia's mother wiped her tears distressedly, but she didn't believe that Baoyu was a liar. Besides, Jia Lian had hinted before that someone ordered him, and insisted on clarifying the matter.

Mother Jia summoned hoe medicine and Mingyan to inquire carefully, and the two young servants said that Baoyu took the initiative to ask them to order them.Mother Jia interrogated Nanny Li again, and Nanny Li was so frightened that she couldn't bear it. She knew in her heart that there would be no good fruit for her confession, so she insisted on it, saying that Baoyu didn't know how to get out.

After all, this matter became Baoyu's self-willed convulsion.

Jia's mother was very upset, but she also knew that she could only let it go, and she couldn't find anything after further investigation, but she was a little unwilling, so she turned to ask Jia Lian what she meant.

Jia Lian only said lightly, "It's good for the ancestors to be the masters", without further words.

Only then did Jia's mother suddenly realize that Jia Lian's attitude towards her seemed to have changed, and what happened today seemed to hurt his heart very much.Now he is working for the fourth prince, and his future is promising, and his ruthless anger at him at the beginning really discredited him a bit.

As soon as she was in a hurry to get angry, why did she forget, and now Lian'er's identity is very different from before.

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "You have been wronged in this matter, and the follow-up matters are up to you to deal with."

Jia Lian immediately looked down upon Nanny Li.

Nanny Li trembled all over and became frightened.

Jia Lian: "It's your responsibility to take care of Baoyu. Since you people are doing nothing, don't take up space for money. It just so happens that there is a shortage of manpower in my village. It's good if all the mother Li's family moved to the village to take care of the crops and seedlings, at least If you don’t take good care of it, it’s just a matter of reducing the production of a few acres of land, so you won’t lose a big living.”

When Nanny Li heard that the whole family was imprisoned, she trembled in fright and hurriedly kowtowed for mercy.

Jia Lian said nothing.

Seeing how pitiful Nanny Li was, Mother Jia wanted to intercede, but seeing Jia Lian's cold attitude, she didn't open her mouth.

She didn't need to divorce their grandparents for a servant.

"Besides, those maids in Baoyu's Courtyard, I think they are all playful and can't fulfill their duties. Every time I see them, they like to play around by themselves, not to mention disrespect to their master, and even bully Baoyu. I heard that last time the Empress Dowager rewarded the snacks from the palace, Baoyu even shared them with these maids in private, which made the whole house known. No wonder all the maids in the house wanted to sharpen their heads and go to Bao Erye's room , with such treatment, who would not want to go. Not to mention whether it is in compliance with the rules for Baoyu to distribute the imperial snacks to his servants, and whether they should want it. It is said that these maids should do a good job after receiving monthly money It is their responsibility to keep an eye on their second master Jiabao carefully. They made the same mistake as Nanny Li, and if they punished Nanny Li, they should be punished. That day when Baoyu was with the old lady Everyone in the room will be kicked out and sent down to the kitchen to serve as rough envoys."

"They will all be punished? But..." Jiamu recalled that there were four or five maidservants who followed Baoyu in her room that day, including Sheyue and Qiuwen, all of which were carefully selected by him. It's a pity that all the things that were put in Baoyu's house were taken away, "Can you..."

Jia Lian saw through Jia Mu's meaning at a glance, cupped his hands and said, "Then it all depends on the old ancestor's wishes."

Jia Mu met Jia Lian's eyes and closed her mouth.Just now she simply said that Jia Lian should deal with this matter, if she raises doubts at this time, then she will slap herself in the face.

Mother Jia gritted her teeth and said, "I have no objection, you handled it very well."

"Then let's do it like this. There are fewer people in his room. Let's ask these four nuns to fill in for the time being, so as to urge Baoyu to study." Jia Lian looked at the four nuns standing in the middle of the ground waiting for orders, "here The four were originally invited by me to teach Brother Cong, but now it seems that Baoyu needs to be taught more, so let's hold on to him first."

Mother Jia took a look, sighed, and nodded helplessly.

Even though this incident just passed away like this, Mrs. Wang's mother Jia still made a note of it.She absolutely did not believe that Baoyu, an innocent child, could do such an inexplicable thing.Originally, on Mrs. Wang's side, she planned to ask him to reflect on it for three to five months.Looking at it now, this child really doesn't have anything to do with her, so let her stay in Fudong for a good life.

The next day, when Jia Lian came to discuss things with Jia Mu, he saw Baoyu lying on the couch, complaining about his buttocks hurting and wiping tears with Jia Mu, as if he was dissatisfied with the new nuns in his room.

Mother Jia couldn't be the master of this matter, so she had to say: "It just so happens that the man who makes the decision has come. Go and beg your second elder brother Lian."

As soon as Baoyu saw Jia Lian coming, he was so frightened that he hid his head behind Jia's mother, not to mention begging him, and he dared not even speak normally.

Jia Lian looked at Baoyu deliberately and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"

"No...no." Baoyu bowed his head in a low voice.

Jia Lian didn't look at her anymore, but turned to Jia Mu and said, "You ordered the repairs to the east of the mansion earlier, but now you have prepared the materials and manpower. In two days, we can start work as soon as the drawings come out."

Mother Jia just remembered this, and Madam Wang's face appeared in her mind, she immediately frowned and shook her head: "For now, let them live like that."

Jia Lian had expected this answer, and after agreeing, he proposed to Jia's mother that he would go to Yangzhou again.

Thinking of Jia Min, Jia's mother burst into tears, "My old lady has not seen her for nearly 30 years, so I might as well go with you so that I can go and see my precious daughter."

Jia Lian was silent for a while, said "I will take your words with you", and hurriedly held his hands to salute and leave, leaving Jiamu alone to sit there in a daze.

After a while, the little maid came in and sent a message: "Madam, Zhou Rui's family is here, bringing many scriptures copied by the second wife, and—"

"Let her go!" Jia Mujie cut her off and scolded before she finished speaking.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Wang wept alone in the Buddhist hall, in a daze, day and night.

……

After Jia Lian was ready, he took a boat to Yangzhou.After arriving, Jia Lian began to be busy non-stop.It shows that 10 taels of silver was used to buy a lot of land in Yangzhou, and then inspected the planting of herbs and rice.Jia Lian felt at ease when he saw that everything was going up well.

As for the painting of the male sterile rice flower that he left for the people in Zhuangzi before he left last time, it didn't seem to have any effect.Although he offered a thousand taels of silver as a reward, the collection failed because the local farmers did not know how to identify them, and the plants themselves were hard to find.And the one I found by chance in Rongfu was relatively thin, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to succeed in one go.Hybridization is to use three-line rice, in addition to male sterile, there are male sterile maintainer lines and restorer lines.Because without the support of modern technology, this process may have taken longer in ancient times.

At present, we can only vigorously promote the method of planting in suites for the time being. There are also some methods such as raising shrimps and crabs in rice fields that can quickly bear fruit.Hybrid rice is still a long road, which requires patience and time.

Two days later, Lin Ruhai came to him with a smile: "Good nephew, uncle has good news for you."

Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai suspiciously.

"Earlier, I ordered someone to turn that painting into a reward notice and posted it at the gates of the four gates of Yangzhou City. Now it's past the earing season, so I put it aside and forgot about it. An old man suddenly came to the door the day before yesterday and said that he had it in the backyard. I was a little puzzled, so I asked the housekeeper to check it out, and it looked really similar to the characteristics you described in the painting. We are free today, let's go over and have a look together?"

Jia Lian's eyes lit up immediately, before Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he had already stepped to the door, smiling and stretching out his hand to invite Lin Ruhai to go first.

Lin Ruhai smiled and pointed at Jia Lian: "You child, I understand that, except for the things on the ground, there is nothing else that can make you feel good."

The two soon arrived at the farmer's house. Under the recommendation of the old farmer, they came to a small river in the backyard of the three small houses. There were some weeds growing along the river, but there were many borders circled by stones.Look carefully, there is a rice seedling in the border.

Jia Lian took a magnifying glass and carefully observed each one three times, because these rice seedlings were short, and Jia Lian lay down on the ground to observe them.

With the breeze blowing, the willow branches swayed, and a fat green worm landed on Jia Lian's head with a "click".

The author has something to say:

Big Fish: Take a bite of Daiyu, Daiyu... 23333, so funny.

Daiyu (picking up the chopsticks very calmly, took a piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth): "I heard you want to eat me?"

Big fish: Σ(°△°|||), no, no

Jia Lian: Ask readers, why is there no small theater today?

Big Fish (turns out the red scarf and puts it on, serious): I blame the Spring Festival Gala...
