[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 3

Under Jia Lian's coquetry, Mrs. Zhang shared the custard with him, and Nanny Song, who had always been serious, smiled happily.Grandma's appetite has been getting worse and worse recently, and every time the food passed on is almost unmoved, she withdraws it and rewards it to the maid below.

The little master is sensible and knows how to take care of his mother.

Nanny Song's gratified eyes caught Jia Lian who was feeding Mrs. Zhang the last custard with a silver spoon. He turned his head, smiled sweetly at the old nanny, then lowered his head slightly to hide the tears in the corners of his eyes.

Jia Lian remembered very clearly that the acquitted Erfang didn't care about him and Jia Amnesty who were sentenced to exile, but in the end it was a middle-aged man whom he didn't know who ordered the little officials who escorted them.When he finally left the capital, the middle-aged man helped an old lady to see him off.

And the old lady who watched him leave with tears in her eyes was Nanny Song who was always serious by Mrs. Zhang's side.

Thinking about it this way, I have to thank his good second aunt. If she hadn't taken advantage of Mrs. Zhang's death to send out many servants in the big house, Nanny Song would have ended up just like Nanny Zhao. Sell.However, because of this, there was one more person on Jia Lian's trustworthy list.

The elder of the Rongguo Mansion, his own father, Jia She, is not on this list yet. Although Jia She said that he distanced himself from him to protect him, he also believed it, but the estrangement that has existed between father and son for more than 20 years is not so easy to solve. of.

What's more, the current Jia Amnesty is not the down-and-out old man who told his son the truth in the prison cell.Mrs. Zhang is still alive. Although Jia She is not as lewd and playful as the latter, there are also many concubines in the backyard.

Jia Lian stayed in the main room to talk with his mother, and they had dinner together but did not see Jia Amnesty, only a woman said that he would be finished if he didn't come over tonight.Jia Lian, who rejected Mother Zhao and carried her to the ear room, sighed long in his heart. He had a lot to do if he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of his previous life.With such a weak father like Jia She, he must not lose his mother.

Chunhua was sent out, Qiushi was demoted to a second-class maid, and Mrs. Zhang pointed out Mo Yi and Huaqing, the second-class maids beside her.Before, Mrs. Zhang thought that Jia Lian was still young, and the people around him were only a few years older than him to play with him. With Mammy Zhao by her side, nothing would go wrong.Now it seems that she is still thinking too simply, no matter whether Zhao Mama is really careless or what, Jia Lian still needs a few safe people around him to rest assured.

Although Mo Yi and Hua Qing are second-class maids, they are taught/taught as first-class maids. Now one is twelve and the other is thirteen.Compared with the girls from everyone's background, some of them get married at the age of 13, and those who are able to serve their masters are able to meet their benevolent masters, so the age of these two maids is not too old among maids.

Returning to the ear room, Jia Lian asked Mo Yi and Hua Qing to call hot water to freshen up, then ordered no one to watch the night in front of him, just wait outside, and went straight to the bed to lie down.

Finally alone, the former mother's kindness and son's filial piety did not let him forget about the flat voice.If he hadn't been in exile, maybe he couldn't behave so naturally in front of Mrs. Zhang, and he would have exposed the matter of his voice long ago.

Jia Lian concentrated all his hopes of changing the fate of his mother Zhang's early death on the flat voice. He believed that the voice that could send him back to the past would definitely not be simple.

"...Are you there?" Jia Lian's lips twitched slightly, he was afraid that the voice would be too loud for the girl and woman who were watching the night in the outer compartment to hear.

[Aristocratic son's cultivation system is at your service, host. 】

The flat voice sounded directly in Jia Lian's mind, he was not scared but excited as he had already experienced it.However, he understands what "son of a family" means, but what does "cultivation" mean?And "system", is the name of this voice?

Just like the one he heard before, some he understood and some he didn't.

"That..." Because Jia Lian couldn't control the volume because of his excitement, Mo Yi's voice came from outside the cubicle. "Brother Lian, what's the matter?" Jia Lian was so frightened that he didn't dare to make another sound, and he was relieved when there was no sound from outside after a while.

[The host can communicate with the system directly with his thoughts... just use what he thinks in his heart. 】The system added a sentence in a humane way, so that Jia Lian, a native reborn, could understand the meaning of the previous sentence.

After thinking for a while, Jia Lian asked a question in his heart.

[System, what is the meaning of the "rescue mother" mission you announced in the afternoon? 】

[As literally.The host needs to recite the "Book of Songs" with a total of 39224 characters within one month. After the system checks and confirms, the host can get a Tianxiang Xuming Pill.Tianxiang Xuming Pill can extend the life of the host mother, Jia Zhang, for half a year. 】

This time Jia Lian finally understood everything, and at the same time couldn't help being ecstatic.He trusts the voice that calls himself "the system". Since he said that Tianxiang Xuming Pill can extend Zhang's life for half a year, it must be possible!

Clenching his fists, the smile on the corner of Jia Lian's mouth froze suddenly, and he asked eagerly in his heart:

[System, Tianxiang Xuming Pill can only extend mother's life for half a year, after that half year...]

[After half a year, the efficacy of the Tianxiang Xuming Pill is exhausted. 】

Jia Lian's breathing became heavier and he lay stiffly on the bed. After a long while, he asked again:

【System, is there any medicine that can completely cure my mother? 】

[Yes, Jia Zhang's body is weak because poisoning has never lost his vitality. A poisonous gentian produced by the system can cure all poisons, and it is even more invulnerable to all poisons after taking it.Afterwards, use Zijing Yurong Dan to nourish the body, and Jia Zhang's body can fully recover. 】

Before he had time to rejoice over his mother's rescue, Jia Lian was startled by the system's claim that her mother was weak because of poisoning.

[You said mother was poisoned? ! 】

[According to the symptoms, Jia Zhang's poison is a poison called Qian Ri Zui.This kind of poison is rare. After being poisoned, the body will gradually weaken, and eventually die of physical weakness. 】

It turned out that his mother's death was not a normal death.Jia Lian opened his mouth wide, almost unable to breathe. His mind kept echoing what Jia She said to him in the cell, "Your mother can't escape the hands of that poisonous woman."

That's it!

Didn't Dafang's situation become more and more difficult after Zhang's death in his previous life, and finally he was completely marginalized in Rongguo Mansion?

Jia Lian gritted his teeth. In his previous life, he actually regarded Mrs. Wang, who killed his mother and enemy, as an elder to respect and admire him, thinking that she really cared about him!His good second aunt, could it be that she has been calculating the title from now on?Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty or generation, the eldest son has inherited the title, why on earth did the second aunt have such an idea that their second wife would inherit the title!

Jia Lian's face became even more ugly when he thought that his grandmother drove his father to the barn to make his second uncle Jia Zheng live with her in the main house of Rongguo Mansion.Presumably, it was his grandmother's eccentricity that fueled the second aunt's eccentricity, but he didn't know whether his good grandmother was completely ignorant or even directly involved in the mother's poisoning incident.

If the real grandmother also took action in this matter, it would not be so easy for him to change the future.Now, it is better to find a way to save his mother's life, so that he may have one more person who can negotiate.

[System, how can I get the poisonous gentian and the purple cyan jade pill you mentioned. 】

[The host can get a poisonous gentian if he recites the Four Books upside down, and a Zijing Yurong Dan if he recites the Five Classics upside down. 】

It's okay, it's okay, it's not that he has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics backwards. After his rebirth, he was already prepared to study hard, so he felt that the system's requirements were... what!

[System, how many words are there in the "Book of Songs" you just mentioned? ! ] Jia Lian's eyes are red.He is a dude who doesn't like to read and can only read a few words. Is it really okay for the system to have such high requirements?

[A total of 39224 words, the host.By the way, remind the host that the host only has one month to recite each book of the Four Books and Five Classics. 】

【…】

Jia Lian rolled his eyes and passed out. The system wanted him to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics in nine months!This is the Four Books and Five Classics, not the Three-Character Classic of Thousand Characters!

What would be the consequences if a child who has not yet enlightened said he wanted to read the Book of Songs?Naturally, the adults praised it and then started to learn from the basics.Although the Jia family came from a military background, it is not that they have no methods and methods for educating children. Naturally, it is impossible to overthrow the children.

Therefore, it is impossible for Jia Lian to tell Zhang that he wants to study the "Book of Songs", and the task given to him by the system is not to thoroughly understand the "Book of Songs", but to memorize it.Fortunately, the system provides the "Book of Songs" that only he can see, otherwise he really doesn't know how to complete this task.

In addition to this task, the system also issued some small tasks for him.For example, if he completes ten big characters every day and persists for three days, the system will reward him with a Peiyuan Pill.The efficacy of this Peiyuan Pill is not comparable to Tianxiang Xuming Pill, but it is very effective in nourishing qi and blood.

Every time the Peiyuandan Jia Lian got, he would find a chance to turn it into tea for Mrs. Zhang to drink. Although it could not cure her completely, it could make her recover a little.Of course, once the drug was stopped, Zhang would immediately weaken, so Jia Lian had to make calligraphy practice a part of his daily plan.

Glancing at his thin wrist, he sighed resignedly and picked up the brush to continue painting red.In order to have his own mother to protect him, he really wanted to completely change his old dandy style.However, he is also grateful to the system from the bottom of his heart. Whether it is rebirth and returning to the past or providing medicine that can cure Zhang, it is all given to him by the system.

Another point is that if there is no systematic temptation, he probably won't be able to last long whether it is endorsement or calligraphy.He has been a playboy for more than 20 years, and now he suddenly wants to start studying. It is not enough to rely on his own willpower.
