The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House
Chapter 41 Professor Lian's Bottom Line
Jia Lian smiled nonchalantly at Shang Yinzhen's inscrutable eyes, "What is decided at the top of the court is the state's plan, and it is the place where the pillars of the country should go. Isn't it for nothing that a farmer like Cao Min takes up the post?" A place. The early people have nothing to ask for. If there is a field, they can plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn, and the grass people will be satisfied."
Yinzhen read a bit of indifference from Jia Lian's bright eyes, it seems that he really doesn't care much about the power and power in the court, but Yinzhen likes such a person more.For those who are too keen on tactics, once they are relied on, they will inevitably feel arrogant. What's more, they want to "reverse the customer", which will eventually develop into a disaster sooner or later.But Jia Lian is different. His enthusiasm for farming is comparable to others. He has great talent, can be indifferent to fame and wealth, and is also a sweetheart.There are very few people like Jia Lian who are talented but not greedy for power. It is my luck to meet him.
Yin Zhen has already decided in his heart to find an official position for Jia Lian, but now that the matter has not been settled, he will not refute Jia Lian's words.In the future, he will find a bright future for Jia Lian. The more Jia Lian doesn't want it, the more he will give it.
"Let's not mention this matter for the time being. We will discuss everything after the Northwest is calmed down. The method you mentioned for Tudou is all according to your ideas. Just let me know about other aspects, and I will mediate. You don't need to worry about it."
Jia Lian nodded in agreement, turned his head to look at the field, staring at it in a daze.When the autumn wind blows, pieces of potato seedlings turn out green waves, which are so green that people feel refreshed after seeing them.
Yinzhen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the field, but he didn't have Jia Lian's mood, he only hoped that the result of this field would be as Jia Lian described, this new grain could really save the Northwest army from food shortages The problem.
It was related to the rations of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Northwest, Yinzhen still had to be cautious. Before leaving, he deliberately took away two bags of newly dug potatoes, took them back and prepared to distribute them everywhere for people to eat, and confirmed that they were safe. Things are the safest.
Jia Lian understood the fourth prince's attitude of doubting new things, so he generously asked someone to pack ten bags for the fourth prince to take back.
"If these potatoes are harvested quickly, they can be harvested in about four or five days. They can be loaded and transported immediately, and they should be transported to the northwest before the freezing. As for the transportation, horses and manpower, etc., the Fourth Highness needs to come down and worry about it." .” Jia Lian instructed Yin Zhen before leaving.
Yin Zhen nodded, said goodbye to Jia Lian, and rode away.Su Sheng didn't go out to accompany the fourth prince recently, but stayed instead. He looked at Jia Lian awkwardly for a while, and found that Jia Lian ignored him, and was still bending over to pull up those potatoes on the ground, and then instructed those people how to dig in the ground Leftover potatoes.Su Sheng wanted to go forward several times, but found that there was no suitable time.
Jia Lian was so busy that his feet were covered in mud. Seeing that it was getting dark, he came out of the field, but he saw Su Sheng still standing in embarrassment with his head down, looking at him in a daze.
"Why hasn't Guard Su left yet?" Jia Lian asked.
Su Sheng moved his eyes, and smiled embarrassedly: "I wanted to talk to you about something, so I stayed here, and saw that you were too busy to bother me, so I kept waiting."
"Then please." Jia Lian invited Su Sheng to the nearby Zhuangzi to have a drink. The food was freshly picked from the Zhuangzi. After the meal, there was autumn watermelon just picked from the ground. It was sandy, sweet and juicy.
Su Sheng loves watermelon the most, and he almost ate the whole one by himself.Jia Lian sat on the kang, smiled and handed Su Sheng a handkerchief.
Su Sheng wiped his mouth, thanked Jia Lian for his hospitality, and then got down to business, "Zi Ning has been bored at home these days and won't listen to anyone's persuasion. I heard that you have a good relationship, so just I want to beg you one more thing, see if you can help persuade him?"
Jia Lian has been busy recently and has no time to care about other things. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he has indeed not heard Jiang Zining's noise for some days.
"Why, what happened?"
Su Sheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't really know, he was always afraid of me, so he would definitely not want to say anything I asked. Besides, his second uncle had an accident in Yangzhou a few days ago. It is said that he was negligent in his duty and ignored the sentiments of the people. Marquis Pingyuan took the initiative to plead guilty and asked the emperor to demote him. Now he has been demoted to Bolan County in the northwest to be an official. He will take office after the next year. It is estimated that he will return to Beijing in a few days and talk to the old man Have the last reunion year."
Jia Lian reckoned that Jiang Zining cared about his second uncle's affairs, but he didn't know if it was because of guilt or fear.Then he nodded and promised that Su Sheng would find time to visit him.
Su Sheng bowed gratefully and wanted to say goodbye.Jia Lian hurriedly ordered Zhuangzi's steward to pack a cart of watermelons for Su Sheng and take them back.
"I have a big appetite, but I can't eat so much in one go."
"Just put it in a cool and ventilated place to ensure that it won't go bad before you finish eating. There are also a batch of late-ripening ones. When the weather is cold, choose them and store them in the warehouse. As long as they don't freeze in winter, they can still be stored Eat it during the Chinese New Year." Jia Lian said.
Su Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if picking up gold for nothing, he was very surprised and said: "That's good, I love this food the most, if I can eat my favorite fruit during the Chinese New Year , I am not afraid of those annoying entertainments anymore."
"Okay, when the batch of melons comes down, I'll send someone to deliver them to you." Jia Lian laughed.
"Farewell, I'm lazy, I don't know fine things, and the maids and women at home are even clumsy. I have to ask Brother Lian to help store it, and send it to me when the time comes." Su Sheng said here, cupping his hands and rushing Jia Lian bows.He has two hobbies, kung fu and watermelon.In front of eating watermelon, self-esteem is almost negligible.
Jia Lian smiled and agreed, saying that he had made a note of it, and would definitely send him some baskets of watermelons during the Chinese New Year this year.
When Su Sheng heard this, he was indescribably happy. His usually domineering and serious face now smiled brightly like a flower.His affection for Jia Lian doubled even more, he admired his talent, and he admired his personality even more. In short, this person got him watermelon to eat, and he was good at everything.
Su Sheng faded away from his usual calm face, revealing an extremely simple and honest smile.After being polite again and again, he said goodbye to Jia Lian.
Until Jia Lian watched his back disappear, he still felt that what he saw just now was another Su Sheng.
This person is a bit interesting. Before and after meeting, they have two completely different personalities. At first, they seem serious and cold and not easy to get close to, but then they become silly, honest and enthusiastic.
Hearing Jia Lian's description of his cousin Su Sheng, Jiang Zining was filled with jealousy. While chewing what was in his mouth, Jiang Zining said to Jia Lian, "That's why you made him like him, and he showed his true nature. People who practice martial arts are a bit simple-minded, but I Cousin has made a name for himself with His Highness the Fourth Highness, and his temperament has also become a bit unpredictable like His Highness Fourth. He has always been cautious and defensive in his actions, but once he shed that cold skin, he was really warm and loyal. ,like me."
Jia Lian sneered, "If I'm like you, I won't make friends with him anymore, just think about it."
Jiang Zining was upset: "How good I am, you can find me for the work you will contribute in the future, and you will die!"
Jia Lian smiled, then he looked at the empty plate in front of Jiang Zining and asked him, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, fragrant, crunchy and soft. You said that this food is amazing. It tastes so delicious after being fried in oil and mixed with some salt." Jiang Zining commented happily on the French fries.
"As the saying goes, eating others' hands is short, you can tell the truth, what are you worrying about lately?" Jia Lian asked indifferently.
Jiang Zining rolled his eyes and said guiltily, "What's the matter, what can I do, I'm a heartless person, how can there be anything."
Jia Lian raised her eyebrows and met Jiang Zining's guilty eyes: "You said "what's the matter" three times, are you okay?"
"I...I'm fine." Jiang Zining glanced away, thought for a while, and said to Jia Lian, "The old man sent the second uncle to the northwest, but the second uncle was not reconciled, and came back arguing, saying that it was for filial piety. Celebrating the New Year with the old man, I don’t know how uneasy this winter will be. I have been worrying about this for the past two days. Cousin Su doesn’t know, and I can’t tell him about the family ugliness. Tell me, do you have any Is there a place for me to stay for a while?"
"No." Jia Lian said simply.
Jiang Zining wept bitterly, "Should I refuse so simply? At least put on a show of hesitation and make me feel better."
"Your second uncle deserves it. He should be guilty of harming you. He is afraid of you. What are you afraid of?" Jia Lian asked back.
Jiang Zining was stunned, then he slapped the table confidently and shouted, "That's right! What am I afraid of!"
Jia Lian picked up the teacup, sipped the tea carefully, and looked at him, always feeling that he still had something to hide from him.
Jiang Zining asked Jia Lian to wait, then turned around and went into the room. After a while, he had two extra pieces of paper in his hand and handed them to Jia Lian.
Jia Lian saw that it was a land deed.
"These two land deeds belong to two forests, and they are all plums. Unfortunately, the saplings are not good, and the plums they bear are bitter and astringent. It's not good to keep it, and it's not good to use as firewood. Anyway, staying here with me is more tasteless than tasteless. I gave it to you. You have always been able to turn waste into treasure. I thought you must have a solution. Let me tell you, this thing is something I don’t want, just keep it. Don't treat it as a favor. The favor I owe you will last forever, and I will keep it in my heart!" Jiang Zining patted his chest and said very righteously.
Jia Lian smiled, and she was not polite, she didn't even say thank you, and just put the title deed into her sleeve.
"Hey, you are too impolite." Jiang Zining complained.
Jia Lian sneered: "It can be seen that your words are not true, and you are not sincere."
"No, no, am I joking? I mean it, hehehe..." Jiang Zining took a peek at Jia Lian, but still avoided it.
"I heard you said a lot, but you didn't say anything about what really worried you. You just said you owed me a favor, but now you're ungrateful, and you don't mention anything." Jia Lian analyzed.
Jiang Zining showed an expression of 'I'm being talked about in the center', and he looked up at Jia Lian listlessly: "How can you tell it at a glance, it's not really a big deal, but I'm really entangled in something, I don't know if it should be Whether it fits or not. In fact, it’s not a big deal, it’s probably just someone’s temporary joke.”
"I'm getting engaged." Jia Lian specifically said to Jiang Zining.
"I know." Jiang Zining became embarrassed.
Jia Lian chuckled lightly, "Don't you congratulate me?"
"Ah, yes, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on your wedding with the daughter of Prince Li, I wish you a happy life together forever." Jiang Zining congratulated with a smile.
Just now when Jia Lian saw Jiang Zining's hesitation to speak, he guessed in his heart that there was something that would make him hesitate to talk to him.Jiang Zining is a heartless, honest person.He was willing to tell himself about the scandals of his family, so it was probably related to him, which made him embarrassed to speak up.Jia Lian thought about what could be related to him again, and made him feel embarrassed, so he came to the marriage that he had just made with the Prince of Li County recently.
Jia Lian stared down at the teacup in his hand, then suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Zining, "Is it... related to the Palace of Prince Li?"
Jiang Zining's heart skipped a beat, and he even felt that he had heard it wrong because of tinnitus.He hid this matter so heavily, how could Jia Lian know?
Jiang Zining asked Jia Lian tentatively, "Have you settled your marriage with the palace? Can you go back on your word?"
Jia Lian looked at him as if he wanted to swallow Jiang Zining alive.
Jiang Zining hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I really don't mean anything malicious. I just heard some criticisms about the second girl of the county prince's mansion recently, and I'm just worried about you."
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Criticism?"
Jiang Zining was so frightened that he hurriedly explained to Jia Lian: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't ask for it on purpose, I just heard it by chance."
Jia Lian glanced at Jiang Zining coldly, motioning for him to continue talking.
"It is said that when the second girl traveled north and south with her father, she didn't look like a girl in a boudoir at all. She was merciful everywhere, and even eloped with a wild man. Later, the adulterer was dealt with by the prince in a 'military law', and said She's no longer, isn't she..." Jiang Zining couldn't say the rest, and blushed deeply.
Jia Lian's eyes revealed a coldness, and he stared at Jiang Zining: "You are a big man to listen to these gossips, don't be ashamed!"
"I'm wronged. I said I heard it by accident. Well, I heard it from my second aunt and sister." Jiang Zining said.
Jia Lian glanced at him coldly, frowned, and remained silent.
Jiang Zining slapped himself, "I said I shouldn't be talking nonsense, you forced me to say it! You should hit me!"
"Stop messing around and answer me seriously. Where did your second aunt hear it?" Jia Lian asked.
Jiang Zining shook his head.
Without further ado, Jia Lian lifted up his robe and left.
Jiang Zining hurried to catch up and asked him what he was going to do.
"Go to Li County Prince's Mansion."
"You're not going to do something stupid at Li County Prince's Mansion, are you?"
Jia Lian stopped, grabbed Jiang Zining's arm, and forced him to ride over with her.
It happened that the king of Lijun was at home. He heard that Jia Lian had come to visit in a hurry.As soon as they met, Li Junwang smiled and wanted to explain and apologize for the drunken incident before, not wanting Jia Lian to speak first.
"Now there are some bad rumors about the second girl, and please use your relationship as soon as possible to curb these rumors, so as not to damage the reputation of the second girl." Jia Lian knew that in such a big environment in ancient times, rumors were so important. This kind of thing is a deadly sharp edge to a girl's family. No matter it is true or not, once it spreads, it will definitely damage the reputation of the boudoir.Jingxin is the person Jia Lian chooses to identify, and she should take the responsibility of protecting her.
King Lijun was stunned for a moment, then in a daze, then he became furious and asked Jia Lian how he was very excitedly.
Jiang Zining was pushed out by Jia Lian and gave an explanation by force.
Prince Li was so angry that he almost raised his gun and went to Jiang Zining's second aunt to settle the score.
"I'm afraid she also got the news from other people. The key is to find out where the source of this matter is and stop it completely, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Jia Lian continued, "The prince is from the royal family and has a wide network of contacts. Please use all your connections as much as possible." , stop it in time, and preemptively strike. For the sake of the second girl's reputation, we must not be passive in this matter."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Wang Yelin of Li County called people to send news to his relatives, asking them to help investigate, and the other side of the Gyeonggi Yamen also sent a message, and also sent a letter to the princess of the county... After Ye Lin was busy, Then I remembered Gu Jialian's side.
"Thanks to my nephew for reminding me, otherwise this incident will definitely get out of hand." Ye Lin was still angry, and hit the table with his fist, making the tea bowl rattle, "Who the hell dares to fight with my county prince's mansion?" No deal."
Jiang Zining looked at Jia Lian awkwardly, it was hard for him to say anything, it would be embarrassing to stay here any longer.
Jia Lian said to him: "This matter still needs to trouble you to go back and make some indirect remarks, and find a way to find out from your second aunt to see who she heard from. It's best to give me the news tonight."
Jiang Zining nodded in agreement, and then left.
The king of Li County immediately grabbed Jia Lian's hand excitedly, "Thanks to your cleverness and quickness, you told me the news in time. Nephew, I am willing to guarantee my life. My Jingxin is absolutely innocent. What? There is nothing wrong with running away with mercy. Even if she travels with me, her mother and concubine will be in charge of discipline, and she will be taught the rules by the nurturing mother bestowed by the palace. If my girl is not innocent, then there is no innocence in this world something!"
"My lord, you don't need to get excited, I know. This incident is very strange. It's not too soon or too late. It's very strange to insist on showing up when the two families are negotiating marriage. There are hundreds of them, and you can tell the truth from the fake without going through special verification.”
"Oh?" Lijun Wang looked at Jia Lian more and more appreciatively, curious how he was so sure that his family's Jingxin was innocent.
"What do you mean 'run away mercilessly, people were quietly dealt with by the lord', how did they know such a private matter so clearly? If it really happened, with the lord's ability, it would naturally be cleaned up in secret, sealed off, and no one will be left behind. Possibility of leaking secrets. And these things in the rumors are made up like oral storybooks, and the story is told vividly, as if they were on the scene. It is obvious that someone deliberately made up the story to slander the second girl's boudoir name." Jia Lian explained.
King Li Jun nodded in admiration, and patted Jia Lian on the shoulder, "I was confused before, and I wanted to ask you the truth by pouring alcohol. What is a friend in adversity? That's it. Good boy, Jingxin can take a fancy to it." A man like you is her luck."
"My lord praised me absurdly, and the younger generation didn't do anything, just reminded me with my mouth." Jia Lian said politely.
The King of Lijun was even more happy to see that Jia Lian was modest and modest, and he didn't mean to take credit for it. If it wasn't for this urgent matter to be dealt with, he really wanted to have a drink and have a deep chat with Jia Lian this time.
Jia Lian also knew that it was not good to delay Li County King's work at this moment, so he left in time, and also said that he would also send people to investigate.
Not long after Jia Lian returned to Rongfu, he received a message from Jiang Zining, saying that what his aunt and sister were talking about actually came from Jiang Qingshan.
This is strange, how could such a big man want to spread such gossip, Jia Lian suddenly became alert, thinking that Jiang Qingshan and Jia Zhengsu had always had a good relationship.
Jia Lian immediately ordered Xing'er to investigate Jia Zheng's personal servants. At night, Xing'er came back in a hurry with an angry expression on his face: "That guy wants 100 taels of gold before he will say anything."
"100 taels of gold?" Jia Lian heard this number, and suddenly remembered the matter that he used this amount to confess to Li Nanny, "What does he have to do with Li Nanny?"
Xing'er was stunned for a moment, wondering if the second master Lian didn't know who this person was, so he understood the relationship between this person and Nanny Li. After going to Zhuangzi, I haven’t seen their mother and son contacting each other again.”
Jia Lian chuckled twice, stood at the door with her hands behind her back, and looked at the nine pots of rice placed under the west window porch of the courtyard. After pollination, all of them had grown ears and matured.
Jia Lian casually picked up the small dustpan and cleaned them up one by one, leaving only the rice stalks in the basin.
Xing'er: "Second Master, will you give me the money?"
"Of course I won't. By saying that, he has already admitted this matter for his master." Jia Lian thought about it for a while, and decided to tell the old lady about it, and let her make a choice.If it is handled properly, the head of the family will continue to respect her as an ancestor, otherwise, they can only distract themselves and find another life.
Jia Lian just dealt with the small fights in the past, not serious.But this time is different, it is about the reputation of his wife who has not entered the door, those people are so unscrupulous and merciless, then don't blame him for turning into a hell Shura and turning this family upside down!
The author has something to say:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Fish: About yesterday’s small theater, some relatives asked Jia Lian why he threw Baoyu into the pigsty. Baoyu, you are so smart and witty, answer it yourself!
Baoyu: Because... no, I’m actually stupid, so I don’t know the answer /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ I just know how to obey Lian’s second brother. Jia Lian: She has already answered
Baoyu: /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~(My world is only sad)
Jia Amnesty: A friendly reminder, Lian'er, you used a typo, Baoyu means 'he', not 'she'!
Jia Lian (with a blank face): You used it wrong.
Yinzhen read a bit of indifference from Jia Lian's bright eyes, it seems that he really doesn't care much about the power and power in the court, but Yinzhen likes such a person more.For those who are too keen on tactics, once they are relied on, they will inevitably feel arrogant. What's more, they want to "reverse the customer", which will eventually develop into a disaster sooner or later.But Jia Lian is different. His enthusiasm for farming is comparable to others.

"No." Jia Lian said simply.
Jiang Zining wept bitterly, "Should I refuse so simply? At least put on a show of hesitation and make me feel better."
"Your second uncle deserves it. He should be guilty of harming you. He is afraid of you. What are you afraid of?" Jia Lian asked back.

Jia Lian smiled, and she was not polite, she didn't even say thank you, and just put the title deed into her sleeve.
"Hey, you are too impolite." Jiang Zining complained.
Jia Lian sneered: "It can be seen that your words are not true, and you are not sincere."
"No, no, am I joking? I mean it, hehehe..." Jiang Zining took a peek at Jia Lian, but still avoided it.
"I heard you said a lot, but you didn't say anything about what really worried you. You just said you owed me a favor, but now you're ungrateful, and you don't mention anything." Jia Lian analyzed.
Jiang Zining showed an expression of 'I'm being talked about in the center', and he looked up at Jia Lian listlessly: "How can you tell it at a glance, it's not really a big deal, but I'm really entangled in something, I don't know if it should be Whether it fits or not. In fact, it’s not a big deal, it’s probably just someone’s temporary joke.”
"I'm getting engaged." Jia Lian specifically said to Jiang Zining.
"I know." Jiang Zining became embarrassed.
Jia Lian chuckled lightly, "Don't you congratulate me?"
"Ah, yes, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on your wedding with the daughter of Prince Li, I wish you a happy life together forever." Jiang Zining congratulated with a smile.
Just now when Jia Lian saw Jiang Zining's hesitation to speak, he guessed in his heart that there was something that would make him hesitate to talk to him.Jiang Zining is a heartless, honest person.He was willing to tell himself about the scandals of his family, so it was probably related to him, which made him embarrassed to speak up.Jia Lian thought about what could be related to him again, and made him feel embarrassed, so he came to the marriage that he had just made with the Prince of Li County recently.
Jia Lian stared down at the teacup in his hand, then suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Zining, "Is it... related to the Palace of Prince Li?"
Jiang Zining's heart skipped a beat, and he even felt that he had heard it wrong because of tinnitus.He hid this matter so heavily, how could Jia Lian know?
Jiang Zining asked Jia Lian tentatively, "Have you settled your marriage with the palace? Can you go back on your word?"
Jia Lian looked at him as if he wanted to swallow Jiang Zining alive.
Jiang Zining hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I really don't mean anything malicious. I just heard some criticisms about the second girl of the county prince's mansion recently, and I'm just worried about you."
Jia Lian raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Criticism?"
Jiang Zining was so frightened that he hurriedly explained to Jia Lian: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't ask for it on purpose, I just heard it by chance."
Jia Lian glanced at Jiang Zining coldly, motioning for him to continue talking.
"It is said that when the second girl traveled north and south with her father, she didn't look like a girl in a boudoir at all. She was merciful everywhere, and even eloped with a wild man. Later, the adulterer was dealt with by the prince in a 'military law', and said She's no longer, isn't she..." Jiang Zining couldn't say the rest, and blushed deeply.
Jia Lian's eyes revealed a coldness, and he stared at Jiang Zining: "You are a big man to listen to these gossips, don't be ashamed!"
"I'm wronged. I said I heard it by accident. Well, I heard it from my second aunt and sister." Jiang Zining said.
Jia Lian glanced at him coldly, frowned, and remained silent.
Jiang Zining slapped himself, "I said I shouldn't be talking nonsense, you forced me to say it! You should hit me!"
"Stop messing around and answer me seriously. Where did your second aunt hear it?" Jia Lian asked.
Jiang Zining shook his head.
Without further ado, Jia Lian lifted up his robe and left.
Jiang Zining hurried to catch up and asked him what he was going to do.
"Go to Li County Prince's Mansion."
"You're not going to do something stupid at Li County Prince's Mansion, are you?"
Jia Lian stopped, grabbed Jiang Zining's arm, and forced him to ride over with her.
It happened that the king of Lijun was at home. He heard that Jia Lian had come to visit in a hurry.As soon as they met, Li Junwang smiled and wanted to explain and apologize for the drunken incident before, not wanting Jia Lian to speak first.
"Now there are some bad rumors about the second girl, and please use your relationship as soon as possible to curb these rumors, so as not to damage the reputation of the second girl." Jia Lian knew that in such a big environment in ancient times, rumors were so important. This kind of thing is a deadly sharp edge to a girl's family. No matter it is true or not, once it spreads, it will definitely damage the reputation of the boudoir.Jingxin is the person Jia Lian chooses to identify, and she should take the responsibility of protecting her.
King Lijun was stunned for a moment, then in a daze, then he became furious and asked Jia Lian how he was very excitedly.
Jiang Zining was pushed out by Jia Lian and gave an explanation by force.
Prince Li was so angry that he almost raised his gun and went to Jiang Zining's second aunt to settle the score.
"I'm afraid she also got the news from other people. The key is to find out where the source of this matter is and stop it completely, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Jia Lian continued, "The prince is from the royal family and has a wide network of contacts. Please use all your connections as much as possible." , stop it in time, and preemptively strike. For the sake of the second girl's reputation, we must not be passive in this matter."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Wang Yelin of Li County called people to send news to his relatives, asking them to help investigate, and the other side of the Gyeonggi Yamen also sent a message, and also sent a letter to the princess of the county... After Ye Lin was busy, Then I remembered Gu Jialian's side.
"Thanks to my nephew for reminding me, otherwise this incident will definitely get out of hand." Ye Lin was still angry, and hit the table with his fist, making the tea bowl rattle, "Who the hell dares to fight with my county prince's mansion?" No deal."
Jiang Zining looked at Jia Lian awkwardly, it was hard for him to say anything, it would be embarrassing to stay here any longer.
Jia Lian said to him: "This matter still needs to trouble you to go back and make some indirect remarks, and find a way to find out from your second aunt to see who she heard from. It's best to give me the news tonight."
Jiang Zining nodded in agreement, and then left.
The king of Li County immediately grabbed Jia Lian's hand excitedly, "Thanks to your cleverness and quickness, you told me the news in time. Nephew, I am willing to guarantee my life. My Jingxin is absolutely innocent. What? There is nothing wrong with running away with mercy. Even if she travels with me, her mother and concubine will be in charge of discipline, and she will be taught the rules by the nurturing mother bestowed by the palace. If my girl is not innocent, then there is no innocence in this world something!"
"My lord, you don't need to get excited, I know. This incident is very strange. It's not too soon or too late. It's very strange to insist on showing up when the two families are negotiating marriage. There are hundreds of them, and you can tell the truth from the fake without going through special verification.”
"Oh?" Lijun Wang looked at Jia Lian more and more appreciatively, curious how he was so sure that his family's Jingxin was innocent.
"What do you mean 'run away mercilessly, people were quietly dealt with by the lord', how did they know such a private matter so clearly? If it really happened, with the lord's ability, it would naturally be cleaned up in secret, sealed off, and no one will be left behind. Possibility of leaking secrets. And these things in the rumors are made up like oral storybooks, and the story is told vividly, as if they were on the scene. It is obvious that someone deliberately made up the story to slander the second girl's boudoir name." Jia Lian explained.
King Li Jun nodded in admiration, and patted Jia Lian on the shoulder, "I was confused before, and I wanted to ask you the truth by pouring alcohol. What is a friend in adversity? That's it. Good boy, Jingxin can take a fancy to it." A man like you is her luck."
"My lord praised me absurdly, and the younger generation didn't do anything, just reminded me with my mouth." Jia Lian said politely.
The King of Lijun was even more happy to see that Jia Lian was modest and modest, and he didn't mean to take credit for it. If it wasn't for this urgent matter to be dealt with, he really wanted to have a drink and have a deep chat with Jia Lian this time.
Jia Lian also knew that it was not good to delay Li County King's work at this moment, so he left in time, and also said that he would also send people to investigate.
Not long after Jia Lian returned to Rongfu, he received a message from Jiang Zining, saying that what his aunt and sister were talking about actually came from Jiang Qingshan.
This is strange, how could such a big man want to spread such gossip, Jia Lian suddenly became alert, thinking that Jiang Qingshan and Jia Zhengsu had always had a good relationship.
Jia Lian immediately ordered Xing'er to investigate Jia Zheng's personal servants. At night, Xing'er came back in a hurry with an angry expression on his face: "That guy wants 100 taels of gold before he will say anything."
"100 taels of gold?" Jia Lian heard this number, and suddenly remembered the matter that he used this amount to confess to Li Nanny, "What does he have to do with Li Nanny?"
Xing'er was stunned for a moment, wondering if the second master Lian didn't know who this person was, so he understood the relationship between this person and Nanny Li. After going to Zhuangzi, I haven’t seen their mother and son contacting each other again.”
Jia Lian chuckled twice, stood at the door with her hands behind her back, and looked at the nine pots of rice placed under the west window porch of the courtyard. After pollination, all of them had grown ears and matured.
Jia Lian casually picked up the small dustpan and cleaned them up one by one, leaving only the rice stalks in the basin.
Xing'er: "Second Master, will you give me the money?"
"Of course I won't. By saying that, he has already admitted this matter for his master." Jia Lian thought about it for a while, and decided to tell the old lady about it, and let her make a choice.If it is handled properly, the head of the family will continue to respect her as an ancestor, otherwise, they can only distract themselves and find another life.
Jia Lian just dealt with the small fights in the past, not serious.But this time is different, it is about the reputation of his wife who has not entered the door, those people are so unscrupulous and merciless, then don't blame him for turning into a hell Shura and turning this family upside down!
The author has something to say:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Fish: About yesterday’s small theater, some relatives asked Jia Lian why he threw Baoyu into the pigsty. Baoyu, you are so smart and witty, answer it yourself!
Baoyu: Because... no, I’m actually stupid, so I don’t know the answer /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ I just know how to obey Lian’s second brother. Jia Lian: She has already answered
Baoyu: /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~(My world is only sad)
Jia Amnesty: A friendly reminder, Lian'er, you used a typo, Baoyu means 'he', not 'she'!
Jia Lian (with a blank face): You used it wrong.
