[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"Ma'am, the third young master is back." The mother-in-law came to report.

"Well, go get someone to call him." After Shi Shi replied casually, he grabbed Jia Min's hand again, and said with full of pity: "My Min'er is not worthy even if he is an emperor and grandson." No? I was born to be a fool, but I chose a son from the Lin family after a thousand choices! I have really wronged my Miner." She really felt a pity. Even if she is the official wife of a prince, she is worthy of her status.

Jia Min's expression was coy, and she replied shyly: "Lin... is a good one." After finishing, she bowed her head with a blushing face, Sha was very touching.

"Ruhai has a good character and outstanding talents. He is a rare good man. It is my sister's blessing to marry him." Jia Zheng said seriously.

Jia Daishan also loves his daughter. As early as when he fell in love with Lin Ruhai, he invited him to visit him, and asked Jia Min to take a look at Lin Ruhai from the screen, and collected Lin Ruhai's poems for his daughter to comment on.Later, when he led Lin Ruhai to the garden, he "coincidentally" ran into Jia Min.Seeing that the young children were also satisfied, they asked Emperor Wen of Zhou to order a marriage.

Later, during Jia Daishan's expedition, Jia Min also sent the purses and shoes he made with his own hands to Lin Ruhai's widowed mother. What delicious food and novelties he made on weekdays would also be left to the Lin family. portion.Mrs. Lin's family also knows how to be a human being, so Lin Ruhai personally sends all kinds of things to Jia's mansion to give to her future daughter-in-law.Lin Ruhai also taught Jia Zheng the skills of the imperial examination from time to time, and occasionally took him to a poetry meeting.

After going back and forth, Mrs. Lin's family and Lin Ruhai became more and more satisfied with Jia Min. After Jia Min learned of Lin Ruhai's outstanding talent and humble character from Jia Zheng, she became more and more secretly committed, and put all her heart on him. up.

When everyone was happy and a couple of young children were secretly looking forward to the day of their marriage, only Shi Shi was dissatisfied.Although the four generations of the Lin family were marquises, it was Lin Ruhai's turn that he lost his title long ago.The Lin family is thin and passed down in one line, and Old Master Lin died early, so there is no brother who can help him.Although the daughter can be housekeeper as soon as she passes by, she is still a little bit short after all.But fortunately, that kid from the Lin family looks good. Even if his family background is a little lower, but with the support of the Duke's Mansion behind him, he will have a bright future. Moreover, the Lin family would not dare to bully her Min'er.

"My younger sister has always been the best in talent and appearance." Wang uttered compliments against her will, because she and Jia Min, a sister-in-law, were at odds.

Du Taiwei ruled the County Uncle Wang's family and believed that women's ignorance is virtue, and they paid little attention to their daughter's education. Since childhood, Wang and other sisters only learned needlework and other things that their daughters should learn, and they didn't know a single word.Under the pampering of Jia Daishan and Shi Shi, the unborn Jia Min has learned everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.She wanted to study poetry with Xiao Zhang, the eldest sister-in-law of a scholarly family, but her mother didn't like her eldest sister-in-law and she had two sons to take care of, so she had to bring her own poems and essays to find the next best thing. It's the second sister-in-law Wang's.

From the very beginning, Mrs. Wang refused to go on the pretext of being a heavy housekeeper. Jia Minhui naturally guessed that the second sister-in-law was rejecting her on purpose, so she mentioned it to Mrs. Shi sullenly.Shi Shi is such a protective person, Min'er, whom she regards as a treasure, never dislikes you as Jia Wang's illiteracy, how dare you refuse without knowing good or bad!

While constraining Wang to set the rules by his side, he excused Jia Zheng's hard work in studying and rewarded the beautiful pearl who waited by his side.

If Wang Shi hadn't bowed his head to Jia Min knowingly, and Shi Shi had to let Wang Shi go for the sake of his grandson Jia Zhu and granddaughter Yuan Chun.Even so, Mrs. Wang also suffered a lot. The addition of a vixen in the room did not say anything, which aroused Jia Zheng's dissatisfaction, which made Mrs. Wang hate Jia Min from the bottom of her heart.

"Our young lady has such a good-looking appearance, and she is so beautiful, if the young master of the Lin family holds it in his palm, it will hurt too much!" Nanny Lai said flatteringly from the side.

"Mommy!" Jia Min said shyly.

"Hehe! My Min'er is shy." Shi smiled lovingly.

Just when everyone in the room was enjoying themselves, the curtain was raised.

"The old lady called me here, but what's the matter?" Jia Lian said with a cold face, I was impatient all over my body, hurry up and I'll leave. .

"You! What's your attitude now!? I'm your mother!" Shi Shi was so angry.

Jia Lian is so innocent, to be honest, is it my fault?He thought that he was just telling the truth, his "mother" would not send someone to invite him every time she didn't have something important to ask him.

"What is the third brother doing? Mother has always been the most kind and kind. A son of man puts filial piety first. Is this your attitude towards mother?" Jia Zhengyi scolded sternly.

Ever since he received the news that his father Jia Daishan and his third younger brother Jia Lian had returned in victory, Jia Zheng was both happy and jealous.The joy is that his father is safe and sound, the position of the Rongguo Mansion is more stable, and his status as the second master of the Rongguo Mansion is as safe as Mount Tai; what is jealous is that the third brother not only wins but also makes great achievements, and all the princes' families who come and go Praise the third brother for his youth and promise, and the tiger father has no sons, but ignores him, the number one student who is four kings and eight kilometers away.And this jealousy reached its peak when Emperor Wen of Zhou issued a decree announcing that Jia Lian would be promoted to General Zhaolie of the fifth rank and take the post of Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army.

"Forget it." Shi Shi knew that this unpleasant young son was offending him, so he reluctantly asked lovingly: "You just returned home, where did you go to be naughty? It made your father tired and had to Arrange the residence of the soldiers for you."

"The matter of arranging the soldiers is handled by the housekeeper Zhang. Why do you need the master to arrange it yourself? Just now when I wanted to say hello to the master, Zhan Cai told me that the master has already gone to sleep after returning home, so don't disturb me!" Jia Lian said without blinking. He directly exposed Shi Shi, and then said: "Uncle Niu has a new funeral, I just went to pay my respects and pay respects."

"What!?" Shi yelled angrily.

Seeing Jia Zheng and Jia Min looking at him in surprise, Shi tried his best to calm down, and said peacefully: "Zhen Guo Gongfu and our Rongguo Gongfu have always been on good terms. It's a good thing that you have the intention to sacrifice, but your sister doesn't." I'm going to get married today. Isn't this..." bad luck.

Shi looked at Jia Lian reproachfully with the eyes of an ignorant and rebellious son, Jia Zheng even took on a look of contempt.Wang's expression is quite friendly, she knows that her mother-in-law and husband don't like this son/brother, and she also knows that Jia Lian is Jia Min's twin brother, but her father also died early, and the eldest brother Wang Ziteng relied on her to marry him. After the Jia family, Jia Daishan used his contacts to support him, and he was stuffed in the southwestern Yunnan camp as a school lieutenant.Although she was in the inner house, she also knew that Jia Lian was the favorite of Emperor Wen of Zhou, and now her reputation in the army was even more prosperous. It would definitely be good for her brother to befriend Jia Lian.

Jia Min distracted everyone's attention, and said coquettishly: "Mother." When she was a child, she had no close relationship with this twin brother, and even hated him a little.Under the misleading of his mother, he thought that he was just a rough warrior who could wield knives and guns. He was not as familiar with military books as his father, and he was not as talented in literature as his second brother. It's useless like the big brother, the mud can't support the wall.But as she grew up, she found that her younger brother was not that bad, but her mother always looked at him with prejudiced eyes.She tried to speak well for her younger brother and ease the relationship between her mother and younger brother, but...for the first time in her life, her mother scolded her.

Jia Min still clearly remembered the disgust on Shi's face, as if he was not her own son but her enemy.

From that time, Jia Min knew that her mother's prejudice against her younger brother was not built overnight, nor could it be easily eliminated overnight.

Jia Lian was keenly aware of it, and looked at her twin sister with a strange expression.

Shi Shi took a deep breath, stopped beating around the bush, and said directly: "Didn't the emperor reward you with some exquisite things? Sister Min is married, and you, a younger brother, should take some out to add makeup. This is to let the Lin family know that sister Min is supported by her natal brothers, and you will also have a bright face."

All the big and small affairs in this "White-eyed Wolf"'s yard are in charge of by Nanny Qi, who was left behind by the dead old woman before she died.If Nanny Qi hadn't been the old man who took care of Jia Daishan since she was a child, and Jia Daishan always respected her very much, the Shi family would have kicked her out of the house a long time ago.

"..." Jia Lian was silent for a while, "I see, I will ask Nanny Qi to bring the things over later."

Shi Shi never thought that he could succeed so easily, he thought it would take a lot of talking!

She insisted: "How can you, a man, know what your daughter's dowry needs? I will send Nanny Lai to go back to the yard with you to choose!" There are many good things in the yard of this unfilial son, not to mention back then The old woman left him gifts from He Niu Guogong's mansion and Wang Dashi's mansion. It is said that there are many rare treasures bestowed on him by the emperor over the years, but she has been greedy for a long time.As the saying goes, "Parents are there, selfless wealth", this unfilial son didn't know what tricks he poured into the master, so that the master allowed him to have a private treasury, and warned her not to interfere.And this "white-eyed wolf" doesn't know how to be filial to his own mother, he is really not filial to his son.

Without waiting for Jia Lian's approval, Shi Shi went on to tell Nanny Lai: "You just take a few rough envoys and follow the third master back to the courtyard, and choose some good-looking things that Sister Min can use, and you will be fine." Choose something that the young master of the Lin family will love to add to sister Min's makeup, but don't let the Lin family look down on our Jia family." We need to cut the mess quickly and settle the matter directly.

Nanny Lai has served Shi Shi for many years, so she naturally knows what she thinks, maybe she wants to choose some things for her daughter as a dowry, and also choose a few for her beloved second son, and finally withhold some to enrich her private house.

She quickly nodded and bowed, and said flatteringly: "Old lady, don't worry! This old slave will definitely take a good look at it, and won't lose the face of Miss and Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Lian ignored the two of them singing together, and said: "No need, I don't like outsiders entering my yard, I will let Nanny Qi be responsible for this matter. Nanny Qi has been with the old grandmother for decades, and each family welcomes and sees them off. She is very experienced in dealing with people. Moreover, the Zhang family has a scholarly family from generation to generation, and is very noble. Nanny Qi will know what is suitable to choose, and I will ask her to show the master what I have chosen first." After finishing, he After glancing at Jia Min, he left.

"You!" Shi Shi was really overwhelmed.

"Mother." Jia Min and Jia Zheng nervously supported Shi from left to right.

"Look at it! Look at it!" Shi said quickly, "This is my son who was born in October, and this is your good brother! Tell me! Apart from being angry with me, this son also has What's the use!? Even the boss is more filial than him!" A heartbroken look.

It's also inconvenient for Wang Shi and Nanny Lai to interrupt.

After all, one is a daughter-in-law, so how can you say that the uncle is wrong, and the other is just a servant, and there is no reason to say bad things about the master.

Jia Zheng comforted Shi: "Mother don't need to be angry, the third brother has always been like this. If mother doesn't like it, it's rare. There's no need to be so angry, it hurts your health!" A good son who cares about his mother.

"Mother, don't be angry, I think my brother has just come back, and he is so tired." Jia Min excused Jia Lian in a reasonable manner.However, she glanced at Jia Zheng suspiciously.

What the second brother said just now seemed...

"Congratulations to the third master on his triumphant return." Nanny Qi led a group of servants to salute at the gate of the courtyard.

"Please get up, Mammy." Jia Lian's cold expression softened.

"Later, I will prepare the green jade pen holder that the emperor gave me, thirty pieces of makeup satin, and other things suitable for adding makeup. I will take them to the master at a later date. Let the master have a look first, and then together with the list Take it to the old lady."

Nanny Qi frowned, she knew that the woman had no good intentions and was thinking about the young master's things all day long.In the heart of Nanny Qi who has served the Rongguo Mansion for three generations, Jia Yuan, the first Duke of Rongguo, is the master, the current Duke of Rongguo Jia Daishan is the uncle, Jia She is the young master, and Jia Lian is naturally the young master.

"Third Master, don't worry! Nanny will definitely take care of it and won't let the old lady worry about it." Of course, no matter what he thinks in his heart, Nanny Qi is still very well-behaved.

"That's good."

"Little uncle, little uncle!!!" A childish voice sounded.

Jia Lian lowered his head in response, and saw a ball of balls rolling towards his calf.

He bent down and hugged Yuan Gungun with raised eyebrows and a chuckle, "What's wrong? I haven't seen you for a while, Lian'er has grown into a chubby pig!"

"Little uncle lied! Lian'er didn't become a fat little pig!" Although little Jia Lian was young, he already had his own aesthetics, and was very upset that Jia Lian said he was fat.

Little Jia Lian pursed her lips and said in dissatisfaction, "It's all my fault for putting Lian'er in a lot of clothes, that's why I got fat."

"Uncle!" Another group... the little one who could barely see his waist hugged his thigh, and looked at Jia Lian enviously.

Jia Lian laughed, and after hugging Jia Lian with his right hand, he held up little Jia Hu's buttocks with his left hand.

"It's because the weather is getting colder. Mammy put on extra layers of clothes for my younger brother because he is afraid that he will be cold. My younger brother can't mess around." Jia Hu had a tender face and taught his younger brother with reason and evidence.

"Lian'er knows." Little Jia Lian was very convinced of this elder brother, and nodded obediently.

"That's good." Jia Hu nodded in satisfaction, looking at Jia Lian with an imperceptible desire for praise in his eyes.

"Hu'er is such a good brother!" Jia Lian praised with admiration.

After being praised, Jia Hu's little face was flushed with excitement.

Jia Lian looked at the nanny who was following Jia Hu and little Jia Lian, and asked strangely, "Where's brother and sister-in-law?" Where did his stupid brother and gentle sister-in-law go?

"Eldest lady was unwell after autumn, so she stayed in the yard and didn't come over." The old nanny sent by Xiao Zhang's family to look after Jia Hu and Xiao Jia Lian replied respectfully, paused and then said: "Uncle has made some friends. Greeting the army back from outside, I think they are still getting together." In the midst of showing off how powerful his younger brother is and respecting his elder brother.

Jia Lian fully understood what she hadn't said.

"What's wrong with sister-in-law? Did you invite the imperial physician to take a pulse?" Jia Lian asked with concern.The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Xiao Zhang has done a very competent job. She gave birth to two lovely children, Jia Hu and Xiao Jia Lian, and took good care of his incomprehensible brother.

"My wife said it was the root cause of the disease when she gave birth, so I just invited the doctor who was raised in the mansion to come and leave a few doses of medicine to drink." The old mother said with a worried face.

Jia Lian's face darkened. When Jia Hu was born, the old lady Zhang was still there, so Shi naturally didn't dare to make trouble.However, when little Jia Lian was born, the old lady Mrs. Zhang was no longer there, and Shi Shi did not do anything in the open, but secretly sent a few beautiful girls to Jia Amnesty, and from time to time revealed that he wanted to hug little Jia Lian. Going to Rongxi Tang to raise her made Xiao Zhang even unable to sit well during the confinement period, and was worried and frightened all day, so the root cause of the disease fell.

"I will take my post later and go to the palace to ask Imperial Doctor Zheng to come over to treat my sister-in-law. Nanny Qi will also take a branch of the century-old ginseng that the emperor just gave to my sister-in-law." Jia Lian teased the two in his arms. Little nephew, while explaining.

"General...general...something happened!"

At this time, a soldier from other places ran over led by a servant from the mansion.

He was sweating profusely and saluted Jia Lian, saying: "General, my subordinates and other brothers just saw a man who was hit by a horse and seriously injured on the street, and the people around him said he was the uncle of the Rongguo Mansion! The man is unconscious now, the other brothers sent him to a nearby hospital, and the subordinates immediately ran back to report to the general!"

"What did you say?" Jia Lian suddenly turned his head and said in disbelief.

"I don't know the exact situation, but I just heard from a few young men who were with me that when I was buying a load of candied haws, a horse suddenly rushed out from the side and hit him directly, and I fell into a coma immediately. It's gone." Seeing Jia Lian's reaction like this, the soldiers knew that the man who was hit was probably the general's eldest brother, so he hurriedly told everything he knew.

"What about the man riding the horse?" Jia Lian asked angrily.

"It's gone now."

Jia Lian was very angry and laughed back, he was very angry: "Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"General!" Ran Feng and Chi Cang, who had just returned to the mansion, rushed over as soon as they heard the news.

"Pass down the general's order, summon the personal guards, put on armor and hold soldiers!"

Jia Lian gritted his teeth and said word by word: "This general wants to see who is not afraid of death! Do you really think that this general kills few people?" The murderous look in his words made Ran Feng and Chi Cang and the others couldn't help but shudder.
