The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

After Jia Lian left yesterday, Jia's mother and others have been waiting in the flower hall.

It was getting dark, but Baoyu still didn't come back, which worried them all.

Mrs. Wang was very worried: "Could it be that he was robbed by someone on the way back?"

As soon as the words fell, someone over there said that Jia Lian had left the city.

Jia Zheng woke up immediately, and his mother ran up to him and whispered something.

Jia's mother didn't think much about it at first, but she was a little flustered by Jia Zheng's analysis, but she still scolded Jia Zheng severely.It's fine, just blame him for thinking too much, otherwise Jia Lian would not have had such a relationship with her just now.

"Wait cautiously overnight and see what happens tomorrow."

……

At dawn, Jia's mother woke up suddenly.Last night she slept on the imperial concubine's couch with all her clothes on, and there were Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Li Wan in the room as companions.Mother Jia's scare made Mrs. Wang and other people who were sleeping on the table wake up too.

"Haven't you come back yet?" Jia Mu was still a little confused.

"No." The maids replied.

"The old lady should go to the inner room to have a serious sleep. How can she endure this. When Baoyu comes back, we will tell you." Madam Xing covered her mouth with a handkerchief and yawned.She really regretted that she didn't find an excuse to go with the old man yesterday, and spent the whole night here in vain.This man is getting old and can't bear it.

When Jia Mu saw that Jia Zheng was not there, she asked.

Mrs. Wang replied: "I left in the middle of the night."

"Where's Lian'er? Has Lian'er come back?" Mother Jia then asked.

Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "He went out of the city overnight, he must be busy with official business, it's so early in the morning, the sun just dawned, how could he come back so soon."

Mother Jia thought about it too, nodded suspiciously in her heart, squinted her eyes and sighed with a sad face.Did something really happen to Baoyu's child?If he was delayed by an affair, or went to a friend's house to play, he would send a servant back to take a message.He's not the kind of impolite child who didn't come home all night without even a message. Could it be that he was really guessed by the second child, and this child was murdered!

Mother Jia was so frightened that her palms were sweating, her limbs began to numb, and her whole body was sweating.Mother Jia took the tea brought by the mandarin duck, her hands softened, and she dropped it on the ground.

The sound shook everyone in the room to look at Jia Mu.Jiamu shook her upper body, her eyes were half-closed, and she fell down.Everyone rushed forward, and Mrs. Xing yelled for the doctor to hurry.

Jia's mother closed her eyes as soon as she saw it, and someone running outside shouted, "Second Master Bao is back."

Jiamu opened her eyes suddenly, sat up violently, and rushed forward nervously to meet Baoyu.Jia Zheng also got the news and came in a hurry.

Baoyu entered the door with a tired face, and when he saw Jiamu, he smiled and saluted, "Old ancestor, you don't look very energetic, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter, where did you go last night? We were worried all night." Mrs. Xing got angry when she saw Baoyu came back unscathed.If the elders of the whole family stay indoors and stay up all night waiting for him as a junior, isn't he afraid of losing his fortune?

"You child, what's the matter? You didn't go home last night and you didn't send someone to inform you?" Mrs. Wang asked.

Only then did Baoyu see clearly the anger on everyone's faces, and then look at Jia's mother's worried face, knowing that she had caused trouble.Baoyu hurriedly explained what happened after going to the temple to burn incense yesterday.

Because he was tired and didn't want to study yesterday, but he didn't dare to use the excuse of stomachache, so he made up an excuse to torture Jia Mu to allow him to go to incense.The name is to pray for the elders, but in fact he is just going out for a walk.After Baoyu donated money at Tiekan Temple, he walked around and happened to meet a young man who came to offer incense like him.This young man was handsome and handsome, although his clothes were a little rough, it didn't spoil his beautiful face at all.When Baoyu saw her, she couldn't help but want to please her and get close to her, but she was a little ashamed to speak out, and secretly blamed herself for not being good enough to talk to that young man.

While hesitating, the boy came over. Baoyu happened to be crazy and blocked the boy's way.The two gave way together, left and right, moving in the same direction. After doing this twice, the two actually looked at each other and laughed.

So the two got acquainted.

Baoyu learned that the young man was named Qin Zhong, and he was very envious when he saw his handsome features, pink face and red lips.Qin Zhong also had the same thoughts, and admired and admired Baoyu.The two hit it off right away, and became more and more congenial. After going down the mountain, they mentioned Baoyu and found a nearby tavern to eat and chat.Because it was still early at that time, the two chatted very congenially, and because the other side sent the boys to eat and drink, they were all slightly drunk and forgot the time.

When the sun was setting to the west, Qin Zhong was finally woken up by the young servant who was sober. Afraid of being scolded by his father at home, he hastily left.

Baoyu stayed where he was for a long time before leaving. The boys took a shortcut because they were afraid that they would not be able to make it in time.Unexpectedly, the wheel of the car sank into a puddle on the way, and after a lot of tossing, they felt outside the city gate, but it just happened to close the gate.It was useless for Baoyu to ask people to be accommodating, and there was no way to send someone to deliver a message to Jia Mu, so he had to turn back and find a nearby village or county to stay.

"Can you find a tavern nearby? Then your father sent someone to look for you, why didn't you find it?" Mother Jia asked strangely.

"Isn't it the diligent driver of the carriage, who drove the carriage into the backyard of the tavern to feed the food, and the wine was eaten in the private room on the second floor, so I guess that's why I didn't find it." Baoyu lowered his head and replied embarrassingly.Without saying a word, he moved closer to Jia's mother, and then glanced at Jia Zheng fearfully.

When Jia Zheng listened to Baoyu's story, he clenched his fists furiously. As soon as Baohong's words fell, Jia Zheng jumped up two or three steps, pulled Baoyu out from behind Jia's mother, and slapped him across the face. .

Snapped!Snapped!

One click to the left, another click to the right.

"You bastard, your square head is not inferior, but you are stubborn. I'll kill you today and apologize to your ancestors!" After Jia Zheng said that, he grabbed Baoyu by the neck and pulled him out.

Baoyu was so frightened that he burst into tears and called out "help the ancestors" and "help the mother".

Jia Lian entered the door, saw the commotion, and laughed, "Hey, the little bastard is back?"

Jia Zheng, who was dragging Baoyu, glanced at Jia Lian, his face was full of humiliation, and he hated Baoyu even more for being a troublemaker, so he dragged him out of the yard.

Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and others stopped him a little, but they couldn't hold back Jia Zheng.Besides, Baoyu made them guard all night for nothing this time, which is indeed a bit too much.

Jia Lian stood at the door and watched Baoyu leave with pursed lips. Yesterday was a coincidence. Before he went to Cheng Shuliang's house, he went to Xiaoling Village, and happened to see Baoyu flirting with a beautiful young man in a nearby village.Jia Lian was completely disappointed in this child, so naturally he didn't care.If not, he would not be in such a situation today.

Jia Lian turned to look at Jiamu and the others.Surrounded by Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others, Jia's mother looked at Jia Lian guiltily, and raised her hand to him as if she wanted to say something.

Jia Lian bowed slightly, said that he should go to court, and turned around.

Jia's mother hesitated to speak, and looked at Jia Lian's back regretfully, feeling empty and cold.

"What happened yesterday? I was in a hurry. I forgot things, and you didn't remind me. And you and your wife even said something that doubted your own nephew. How shameless!" Mother Jia was furious. Spit in the direction of Mrs. Wang, "I'm too soft-hearted to indulge you until today. I've only let you out for a few days, and you've become more and more of a monster, provoking my relationship with Lian'er! Give it to me Get out, sooner or later this family will be broken up by you, a vicious woman!"

Mrs. Wang was inexplicably abused by Mother Jia and looked at strangely by everyone. Her face was bloody and painful as if someone had scratched her face with a knife.Mrs. Wang lowered her head fiercely, wishing she could bury her head in her collar.She shrank back like a tortoise.

Mother Jia was in a hurry. After sending Mrs. Wang away, she fainted and was helped to rest.

The people in the house dispersed.

Mrs. Xing was very happy, she just came when she saw Jia She, and whispered to him: "The master is late, I didn't see the way the old lady got angry at her younger siblings just now, that's really... and she spit!"

Jia Amnesty looked surprised, turned around and asked Mrs. Xing, "Where's Lian'er?"

"Going to the court." Mrs. Xing pursed her mouth, "he was really wronged this time. I don't know how the second couple thought that Lian'er would murder Baoyu. Our Lian'er is stupid, go provoke The Demon King of Confusion?"

Jia She sneered: "I think the second child has long been unconvinced. Yesterday he must have thought that Lian'er would meddle in her own business again to frighten Baoyu, so he deliberately said it was a serious injury and murder, in order to attract the attention of the old lady. If this is true in the future Finding out that Lian'er treats Baoyu like that, the husband and wife will take advantage of it, and they can charge Lian'er with a 'felony'."

"Master, what is their purpose in doing this?" Mrs. Xing asked puzzled.

Jia She sneered, and proudly showed off in front of Mrs. Xing: "Don't you understand? This is called indebtedness. Even if Lian'er has the status of a lord, it doesn't matter that she can't hold her head up in front of them. In other words, they have something to hold Lian'er is dead, and from now on Lian'er will have to repay the favours. What are you going to pay? The second child seems to be a scholar, but in fact he is an official fan. With his arrogant nature, now that Dafang's second room is in such a tense situation, he must not be able to speak I begged Lian'er, so I planned to use this 'arrogant method' to force Lian'er to submit."

Mrs. Xing nodded, as if she had just woken up from a dream, and then she looked at Jia She in shock, she really didn't expect Jia She to analyze the truth.

Jia Amnesty brushed off his beard in a dignified manner, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mrs. Xing, and said with a wicked smile: "Why, you think I'm just a useless wine bag and rice bag as a husband? Don't forget, I'm the son of the Rong family. The old lady taught it seriously. It’s just that these years, I was forced to be like this, after all, I just don’t want to be reconciled.” Jia She sighed and turned to look in the direction of Jiamuyuan.

He was really wrong, outrageously wrong, to let himself fall to such a point just because of his anger, just to win favor.Lian'er, on the other hand, has a much clearer heart than him.He owed this family, and even more owed Lian'er, for not being able to teach and nurture this child as well as the old man did back then.Fortunately, Lian'er is a child who strives for his own strength, has a decent mind, and finally grows into a talent.

"Ah... ah... Father, I was wrong! Ah..."

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing were about to go to Rongxi Hall, when they suddenly heard piercing cries of pain, and felt that something was wrong. As soon as they entered the door, a woman greeted them and whispered that Jia Zheng was practicing family law here to teach Baoyu.

Jia Amnesty glanced at Baoyu, who was lying on a long-legged stool and was beaten until she screamed.

Jia She rushed over angrily, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm ashamed of my father's instruction. My father lived in this Rongxi hall before. Naturally, I will teach this unfilial son a lesson here, so that the old ancestors under the nine springs can see clearly!" Jia Zheng said rigidly.

Hearing this, Jia She suddenly felt that the place where he lived was a cemetery.

"you--"

Mrs. Xing coughed and signaled Jia Amnesty not to talk nonsense.Every time Jia Amnesty quarreled with Jia Zheng, they never won, and ended up gaining a reputation as a jerk for nothing.

Jia Amnesty understood Madam Xing's meaning in an instant, pointed at Jia Zheng with shaking fingers, rolled his eyes, laughed, and asked someone to bring a stool.

"Okay, okay, since the second brother is so filial, I can't lag behind, and I will accompany you." After Jia Amnesty sat down, he told Mrs. Xing to go back by herself. She is a woman who can't see blood.

Jia Amnesty held the new tea served by the servant, and watched Jia Zheng while drinking it.

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and at the urging of Jia Amnesty finally raised his hand and continued to beat Baoyu.

Baoyu was still crying and crying.

Jia Amnesty signaled the boy to get a rag to cover Baoyu's mouth.Jia Zheng stopped in a daze and looked at Jia Amnesty.

Jia She said with a smile: "Looking at how hard the second brother is working so hard, the eldest brother can't just sit idle, can't he? Just keep your mouth shut, so as not to disturb you, a quiet scholar!"

Jia Zheng's face turned purple with anger.

"Second brother, what are you doing in a daze, keep going, keep going." Jia Amnesty raised his hand to signal.

Jia Zheng glared at him, looked at the stick in his hand, gritted his teeth and hit it again.

Jia She took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and Baoyu, who was gagged, groaned softly.Sure enough, as his precious son said, the world sometimes looks wonderful from another angle.

After drinking up a cup of tea, Jia Zheng also stopped.Baoyu on the bench had already been in pain so much that his facial features were grimacing, and cold sweat fell to the ground in a puddle.Jia Amnesty had never seen such a desolate and slightly ugly Baoyu.In fact, if you think about it carefully, apart from a good-looking face, there is nothing worthy of liking about this child.

When Jia Zheng lost his stick, a servant helped Baoyu up slowly.Every time he moved, Baoyu's face was distorted in pain, and he limped and was helped away by his servants.

The second master Bao came back and was fined, and the hustle and bustle of the morning finally came to an end.

Everyone thought this would end like this.

But when Second Master Lian came back before dusk, everyone in the Rong Mansion realized that this was just the beginning.

As soon as Jia Lian heard that Jia Zheng had beaten Baoyu in Rongxi Hall, he went to Jia's mother and sued Jia Zheng without saying a word.

Jia Zheng heard the news and came here, and he was quite confident when he entered the door.He did have a reason. When he beat Baoyu today, he used his ancestors as an excuse, so that Jia Lian had no chance to refute.

When Jia Mu saw Jia Zheng coming, she scolded her head and face, "You really beat Baoyu in Rongxi Hall?"

Jia Zheng nodded innocently, "My son did this to—"

"You bastard, how could you do such a thing!" Without waiting for Jia Zheng to explain, Jia's mother scolded, "In ten days, it will be your nephew's wedding, and the Rongxi Hall is going to worship heaven and earth to welcome guests It's a place of joy for the guests, but now you let that place be stained with blood first, which is a great taboo and unlucky. What are you thinking! Now you don't live in that place anymore, and you can't go anywhere with Baoyu, but why? Which place to choose, I think you are sincerely trying to find trouble for your nephew!"

Jia Zheng was taken aback by what Jia's mother said, and at first he wanted to defend himself, but when he heard him mention Jia Lian's marriage, Jia Zheng suddenly realized.He actually forgot all about it, and it was about to be Jia Lian's marriage.

Jia Zheng turned his head slowly and looked at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was facing the direction of Jia's mother, standing upright.Before he had time to change into his official uniform, just looking at it from the side, he felt so majestic and majestic.His face was calm, his eyes were looking straight ahead, he seemed lifeless, but there seemed to be a more surging rage hidden under his calmness.

Jia Zheng's heart trembled, and it was only now that he clearly realized in his mind that he already had the honorable status of a Marquis.His current status at home is no longer that of Jia Lian before he left.At that time, although he was promising, he would still be constrained by these elders in the Rong Mansion.But now that he has been promoted to a real position and has an enviable title, his rank is suddenly higher than that of him and Jia She.Then there is this unmarried daughter-in-law, she is the daughter of the county king...

The hairs on Jia Zheng's entire body stood on end.Thinking frantically in his mind, he kept asking himself what he did yesterday, why he suspected Jia Lian, and why he wanted to provoke the relationship with Jia's mother that he thought was right.

Jia Zheng has been staring at Jia Lian, but Jia Lian has been ignoring him.It seems that his nephew felt that he had lost his status when he quarreled with himself, so everything was said by the old lady.

Because of Jia Mu's self-reflection yesterday, she was afraid of hurting Jia Lian's relationship with her again, so this time she spared no effort to vent her anger for Jia Lian and scolded Jia Zheng vigorously.Even though her heart hurts, she still has to scold.This time, even if she wanted to be biased, she couldn't do it.The fault lies with the second child, Jia Lian has already been wronged, if she is partial again, I'm afraid this Rongfu will fall apart.

Jia's mother was famous, no matter how much the second room scolded them, they couldn't leave Rongfu, and they could coax them back later.But Jia Lian was different. This child had already been made a marquis, and his wings had long grown hard, so he could fly as soon as he said he wanted to.The reason why he reluctantly stayed here was because he was overwhelmed by the rule of "filial piety".

As long as she is in this family, it is impossible to separate.So even if it's for the second wife, she has to live well and live for a few more years.

Jia Lian stood there, watching with cold eyes the mother of Jia, Jia Zheng and his son.Jia Lian read a lot of information from Jia Mu's meaningful and sad eyes.Mother Jia still loved her youngest son Jia Zheng the most. The reason why she scolded him was probably because Jia Zheng was really unreasonable.As long as there is even a little chance to quibble, she will probably spare the second room.

This is partiality.

Of the two children, there will always be a preference in the mother's heart, which makes no sense.

"Lian'er, you see, I have already trained your second uncle. You see, your second uncle also explained that he wanted to beat Baoyu there out of filial piety. Just because of this kind of affection, don't talk to your second uncle. Uncle cares about it. Let's pretend that this has never happened, and you must never mention it to Prince Li." Jia's mother changed her face instantly, and said to Jia Lian with a smile.

Jia Lian blinked, "Okay."

Mother Jia liked Jia Lian's straightforwardness very much, and nodded cheerfully, thinking that the matter was over.

"But the taboo of seeing blood must be broken, otherwise who will be responsible if something happens in the future?" Jia Lian said to Jia's mother, then looked at Jia Zheng coldly.

Jia Zheng was uncomfortable being looked at, and when he wanted to scold, he realized that Jia Lian's eyes had been drawn away, and everyone present didn't seem to notice Jia Lian's excessiveness.Hateful!Jia Zhenggan gritted his teeth, itching with hatred.

"Yes, yes, yes, it is indeed going to be broken. In fact, this is also easy to handle. It is bad luck to ask a mage to help." Mrs. Wang didn't want to rely on the second room for any accidents in the future, so she hurriedly agreed.

Jia Mu gave her a blank look and said nothing.She really annoys Mrs. Wang now, it's all because of her that the second child and Baoyu are in this situation.

"That's what I mean too, but people have to ask me to come and find someone who really knows how to do it." Jia Lian emphasized.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was so tangled up in her heart.How can Jia Lian read minds?She was just about to find some half-immortal to fool her, but this guy blocked her mouth first.

……

In the afternoon, three eminent monks really came to perform rituals.Finally, while Gao Zeng and others were having their vegetarian meals, a servant sent by Jia Lian went to Mrs. Wang's place.

Mrs. Wang: "What's the matter?"

Xing'er: "Second master asked the younger one to convey that it cost a total of 5000 taels of silver to ask an eminent monk to do it."

"What did you say?" Mrs. Wang frowned.

Xing'er repeated the words again.

Only now did Mrs. Wang understand that Jia Lian had sent someone to ask her for money.It seems that he has the meaning of "the matter is caused by the second master, and the money should be paid by the second family".Mrs. Wang hesitated to speak, wanting to argue.But when he thought of the price of bringing this matter to Jia's mother, he gritted his teeth and took the money silently.

This money is the money she got from pawning two ancient paintings two days ago. It was intended to be sent to the palace for Yuan Chun, but now Jia Lian intercepted it.Since she was tricked by Jia Lian last time, the cash in her dowry has disappeared, and the remaining items have to be put in.

Mrs. Wang bit her lip in hatred, blood flowed down the corner of her mouth, she didn't know it.

Jia Lian didn't believe in the taboos of ghosts and gods, but since the ancients believed them, he had to respect the ideas of his future daughter-in-law.Besides, this second room is not cheating for nothing, and he can't always be bullied for nothing.Let Erfang know the price of messing with him, knowing that it hurts, they will naturally have a long memory.

After Aunt Xue heard about the turmoil in the past two days, she became more and more disappointed with Mrs. Wang, and she couldn't dream anymore. It was too obvious that her elder sister couldn't get along in Rongfu.Both Aunt Xue and Baochai knew that this place of Rongfu was at Jia Lian's discretion, and there was no point in staying any longer. Instead of looking shameless, they might as well go there early, leave a beautiful distance, and give each other something to think about.So before Jia Lian's big wedding, Aunt Xue left with a pair of children.

Mother Jia is a good poker friend when Aunt Xue is a good friend, and she is a bit reluctant.

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "The old house is not far from here. If the old lady misses me, just send someone to tell me. I will come to play cards with you every day to relieve your boredom."

Jia Amnesty echoed: "This is very good." Because since Aunt Xue played cards with Jia's mother, he no longer has to bother telling stories.

Aunt Xue laughed, she hoped she could walk around with the Rong Mansion in the future.Rong Mansion is one of the best high schools in the capital today, as long as they can make some connections, their Xue family will save a lot of trouble.

Jia Lian saw that Aunt Xue was sensible and interesting, unlike Mrs. Wang, she had a slightly better impression of her.But in the final analysis, the essence of Jia Xue's relationship is to take advantage of it, and he will not be so stupid as to have a good impression of the Xue family.

As for the second room, Jia Lian had long ignored these top grades.Besides, his unmarried daughter-in-law is quite interested in them, so of course he has to 'live'.

March [-]th is the official day of Jia Lian's wedding.

On this day, the Rongguo Mansion was full of guests, including the royal family and aristocrats headed by the four princes, as well as the emperor's own handwritten gift of "a perfect match".The wedding was lively and lively, and the process went smoothly. It was a very happy day.

Naturally, Daiyu and Jia Min's mother and daughter also came to congratulate her.

When it was late at night, the guests dispersed.

Jia Min accompanied Jia's mother to socialize for a long time, so she directly took her daughter to stay for one night, planning to come back tomorrow.The mother and daughter chatted about the daily life over there, and chatted about the behavior of the new wife.

Over there, Daiyu hasn't seen Yingchun, Tanchun, etc. for a long time, and they are also chatting in the boudoir.Baoyu suddenly came to join in the fun, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he just interrupted the topic.

In the end, Baoyu didn't know why the sisters couldn't get along, Baoyu suddenly dropped jade, and burst into tears.
