[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 2

It's just that Zhao mama dared to say that in front of him, did she pretend that he didn't understand?Without the experience of the previous twenty years, he must not understand, now... Jia Lian's beautiful peach eyes flashed coldly.To put it bluntly, Madam Zhao is trying to curry favor with her two masters, but to put it bluntly, as a slave, she is making her own decisions.

Patting Nanny Zhao's hand to signal him to put him down, Jia Lian gave Nanny Song a sweet smile: "Nurse Song, is mother feeling better? Lian'er wants to go in and say hello to mother, is that okay? I haven't seen mother-daughter love for a few days, and Lian'er misses her mother very much."

Nanny Song wanted to refuse, but her heart softened after seeing the worry and admiration in the beautiful peach blossom eyes that the young master inherited from her grandma.My grandma was not seriously ill, and the imperial doctor also said that it was just overwork and some physical weakness.So, it's not a big deal for the little master to visit the house, right?

Glancing at Nanny Zhao, who was silent with her head down, Nanny Song bent slightly and led Jia Lian into the house: "Brother Lian is really filial, but grandma is not in good spirits, don't disturb grandma after brother Lian goes in. It is."

"Lian'er will be good, Nanny Song." Jia Lian nodded solemnly, her cute appearance made the girl who was standing by the door and pulling the curtain couldn't help but lowered her head hastily.

The servants of Rongguo Mansion all know that Uncle Xi's yard rules are the strictest, some respectable nuns and maids in the wife's place dare to play jokes with the little masters, but grandma can't do it here.The rules and requirements of grandma who was born in a scholarly family are completely different from those of Rongguo Mansion who was born in honor.

However, it is precisely because of this that the wife only cares about the eldest grandma of Rongguo Mansion.It is no secret in Rongguo Mansion that Jia Shishi, the wife of Duke Jia Daishan of Rongguo, loves her second-wife grandma, Wangshi, who also came from the same family as her in the four major families of Jinling.

Seeing this scene, Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, he never thought that there would be such a well-behaved servant in the Rongguo Mansion.The rule of Rongguo Mansion has always been that the servants around the noble master are more respectable than the young master at home, so Jia Rong from the East Mansion called their big steward Lai Sheng and Grandpa Lai one by one.

The so-called noble status naturally refers to the old lady and the second wife's master and second wife, and has nothing to do with their first wife.Mrs. Xing's Wang Shanbao's family is incomparable with Mrs. Wang's Zhou Rui's family. Who made Mrs. Wang the wife in charge of the Rongguo Mansion?

The wife of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is only the order of a sixth-rank Gong. Even if Mrs. Xing is Jia She's successor, it is also the order of a first-rank lady. In the end, the Rongguo Mansion is run by Mrs. Wang.This is not only because Mrs. Wang is the original wife, but also because of the powerful Wang family and Jia Shishi's partiality.

Lowering his eyes to suppress the sarcasm, Jia Lian obediently followed Nanny Song into the main room, paid his respects to the pale woman in her twenties who was lying on the imperial concubine's couch and wore ordinary clothes, and then walked up Go forward and ask with a worried face.

"Mother, are you feeling better?"

Seeing his son worrying about him so much and being so filial at such a young age, a smile appeared on Mrs. Zhang's pale face.

Zhang's appearance is not particularly beautiful, but the gentleness and gracefulness of her body coupled with the bookish atmosphere cultivated by a scholarly family make her more interesting the more she looks.If not, no matter how powerful the Zhang family behind her is, Jia She, a dude, would not value this wife so much.

"With Lian'er caring so much about mother, mother will be much better." Mrs. Zhang patted Jia Lian's head, making the circles of his eyes turn red.

Without the protection of his mother, what kind of life does his eldest son and grandson live in Rongguo Mansion?His young memories still include Mrs. Wang's greetings to his cousin Jia Zhu, but he can only stand aside, hiding a lot of envy in his heart.

He went back to when his mother was still alive, and heard the voice say that he still had a chance to save her!No matter what it takes, he will save his mother.Compared with his father who showed a little love for him before his death, he still believed in the woman who looked at him with different eyes and was extraordinarily gentle.

"What's the matter, Lian'er?" Zhang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he held Jia Lian in his arms, patted and comforted him carefully, while coldly glanced at Zhao Nanny who came to greet Jia Lian, "Zhao Nanny, I let you take care of Lian." How do you take care of the big and small things in my son's room?"

"Grandma, this servant has always done my best to take care of Brother Lian!" Madam Zhao knelt down instantly, touching her head to the ground and said honestly, "Brother Lian said before his nap that he wanted to eat custard when he woke up, and this servant is counting the time." I went to the kitchen to give orders, and before I left, I specifically told Chunhua and Qiushi to stay in brother Lian's room. But when I came back, there was no one in the room, and brother Lian was lying on the bed alone like a nightmare .”

Mrs. Zhang heard that her pale face was stained abnormally red due to anger, and her health has become worse and worse since she hosted the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the mansion. ordered bed rest.

It's just that the mother-in-law ordered her sister-in-law Mrs. Wang to act as the housekeeper temporarily after seeing her seriously ill ten days ago. Does anyone dare to neglect her Lian'er so much now?How could the grandma who had been in charge of the family for several years not know how the servants of the Rongguo Mansion praised her high and trampled her low, but she didn't expect the tea to cool so quickly when she left.

Squinting her eyes slightly, she kept patting Jia Lian, and Zhang's tone was cold: "Anyway, it's wrong that you are not with Lian'er, Madam Zhao. You can also tell Chunhua Qiushi to go to the kitchen. If you are worried that they are too If you don't know the novel well, there are quite a few women and maids in Lian'er's yard."

He will definitely not be stingy with his son, Mrs. Zhang. There are two first-class girls, four second-class girls, eight third-class girls, one nanny who is the head nurse, and several women who are in charge of sweeping and cleaning.Why is Jia Lian the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion and the grandson? It is normal for her to be inferior to Jia Min, the aunt who married only last year, but it would be unseemly to be inferior to Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the second room.

Thinking of Jia Zhu, who was praised by her mother-in-law for being able to study all the time, Zhang's expression became even colder.Mrs. Wang doesn't know what kind of son that illiterate mother can raise, but she is just sweet-talking and deceiving.Relying on being two years older than Lian'er and being sensible, she acted coquettishly and foolishly in front of her father-in-law. If her mother-in-law and Mrs. Wang hadn't done something secretly, how could her Lian'er be younger than Jia Zhu!

Mrs. Zhang was also suspicious of her own weakness this time, but Nanny Song did not find any clues after a detailed investigation, so she had to let it go temporarily.Nanny Song was born in the imperial court, so she knew a lot about the secret methods in the backyard.

If she hadn't been too naive when she first got married and didn't like the serious Nanny Song, how could she have resorted to tricks to not conceive for several years.In the end, because of her mother-in-law's condemnation, she had to stop the concubine's concubine from avoiding the soup, and let the eldest son of the eldest son be born.This not only slapped her in the face, but also turned her Lian'er into the second master of the long house.

Fortunately, there are people who are more jealous of that child than she is, and without her taking action, the child was born with congenital frailty, and died before his first birthday.As for the person who took the shot, and the person who cleaned her tail later, she has evidence in her hands.

For Lian'er, even if she doesn't want to get blood on her hands, she will do it!The patting movement stopped, and Mrs. Zhang hugged Jia Lian tightly: "Forget it this time, Lian'er is fine, and I will fine you three months of silver rice. Next time, ma'am, don't blame me for selling your whole family. Go out. There are also spring blossoms and autumn fruits..."

"Mother, Lian'er likes the honey water made by Qiushi very much. It's warm and sweet after drinking it. Lian'er was a little scared at first, but she's not afraid anymore. However, Chunhua cried and told the mother that Lian'er didn't want them. I'm with you, but Lian'er didn't say that?" Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Zhang innocently, but what she said made Mother Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, stiffen.

Staring at the little child in his arms for a while, Mrs. Zhang felt inexplicably sad.In just a few days, her Lian'er has grown up and used her brains.Lian'er's father, Jia She, didn't know anything about the backyard. Lian'er had tasted warmth and coldness at a young age...

Jia Lian didn't expect what his few words would make Zhang think, he just didn't want to keep Chunhua by his side.Live again, if he let go of the danger around him, why would he do it again.Jia Lian, who was completely ignorant of Zhai Dou, was only a fifth-rank fellow-knowledgeable, and had never been in officialdom. He didn't know how to keep an enemy's eyeliner by his side so that he could pass on false information to the other party.

"Mother Zhao, since Chunhua doesn't want to serve Lian'er, send her back to her mother. Qiu Shi, please teach/teach her well, and let her temporarily receive the monthly money of the second-class maid. A big girl, go over there." Zhang's tone was indifferent, and the servants on the side held their breath and remained silent.

Zhao mama kowtowed and said yes, and stood up tremblingly with Zhang's permission.If grandma didn't make a move, it would be fine, but if she made a move, she would have replaced the two big maids in Brother Lian's room, and Chunhua was even sent out of the inner courtyard directly.Thinking about what brother said to Mrs. Zhang before, Nanny Zhao lowered her head even lower, she was secretly vigilant in her heart, she can no longer treat brother like a child, she doesn't want to lose the dignity of grandma Lian Errands.

At this moment, the curtain of the door was raised, and the girl guarding the door came in with an ebony plate, on which was a bowl of custard with yellow and orange sprinkled with shiitake mushrooms and chopped green onion. "Grandma, Mother Chang in the kitchen said that Nanny Zhao ordered to bring a bowl of custard to brother Lian, and when she went over there, she heard that my brother was here, so she brought it here."

"Bring it here." Mrs. Zhang took the custard, scooped it up with a silver spoon and fed it to Jia Lian who was leaning in her arms.Jia Lian blushed and ate a few mouthfuls, and hurriedly whispered, "Mother can eat too, the custard stewed in the kitchen today is not bad." He is already in his 20s, what is it like to ask his mother to feed him.
