[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 35

Although Jia Lian's first day as a companion was not as thrilling as it was, it was not too far off.First he dealt with the Seventh and Ninth Princes in the palace, and when he came back, he heard the news that the Rongning Second Mansion was going to divide the clan, and then his grandfather showed his prestige in the Rongqing Hall and put Jia Shishi under house arrest!

Jia Daishan said nicely that he asked Jia Shishi to go to Lixiangyuan with him for the elderly, but the discerning people in Rongguo Mansion knew that this was house arrest in disguise.What's more, Grandpa Guo didn't just let it go, but he followed the Lai family, who was Jia Shi's right-hand man.

Lai Shangrong, the eldest son of Lai who was about the same age as Jia Lian in his previous life, was released by Jia Shishi's grace and became a free man when he fell into a grass.Since he was a child, he has lived the life of a young master in Lai's mansion, which is not much worse than Jia Lian.Later, in the year of the coronation, the Mengjia Mansion donated his future, and at the age of 30, he begged the Jia Mansion and was released as a county magistrate.

To be honest, Jia Lian and this Lai Shangrong have an average relationship.Firstly, the status and status of the two are different, and secondly...it is obvious that Lai Shangrong is only a descendant of a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, but in the end, he is better than the serious second master of the Rongguo Mansion. It is also impossible.

In this life, Lai Shangrong still received grace from birth.But now that Jia Daishan is going to search Lai's family, it is impossible for Lai Shangrong to go as smoothly as in his previous life.Even if he is a free man, it doesn't matter that the Lai family gets everything from the Rongguo Mansion. The Lai family has been dealt with. He is only a six-year-old child, what other options do he have besides selling himself as a slave?

What's more, after Jiang Jie found out what Lai Da's family had done, no one could predict what the Lai family's ending would be.The Lai family is not just greedy for ink, the death of Jia Daishan's aunt, and those concubines who had miscarriages before they were born, are not something that Jia Shishi can do alone.

After the prince entered the study, there were only five holidays a year: New Year's Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Wanshou (the emperor's birthday) and his own birthday. Even on New Year's Eve, he still had to go to class.Since the prince has no vacation, it is impossible for them to have companions, and they must enter the palace every day rain or shine.

Fortunately, just as miserable as the accompanying reading, there is a master who goes to the study to let the prince accompany the reading, which can give little relief.Officials can take a bath once every five days, but they only have five days off throughout the year!Unlike Shang Qing who immediately turned bitter when he heard the news from the Ninth Prince, Jia Lian only raised his eyebrows slightly.

Even if he wasn't a prince's companion, under the arrangement of the system, he didn't have time to rest. Now the difference is not big.

The teaching in the study room ended that day, and on the way to the school, the Ninth Prince suddenly stopped talking with the Seventh Prince, turned his head and stared at Jia Lian with bright eyes: "Jia Lian, I heard that your mansion is having trouble with the Ningguo Mansion Fenzong, is it true?"

"Your Highness, Jia Lian is not very clear about this matter." Jia Lian bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"Oh, I don't know, or can't tell?" Ninth Prince Situ Rui's eyes were full of interest.He was not afraid of asking Jia Lian if he would feel uncomfortable or something. He is a prince, and a prince naturally has the capital to be willful.

Jia Lian lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes, and said in a calm and respectful tone: "Although Jia Lian is the companion of His Highness Ninth Prince, he is still under six years old. As Jia Lian, he is temporarily unable to participate in major clan affairs."

"Oh, that's it—" the Ninth Prince stretched his tone, and finally turned around, raised his head and said to the Seventh Prince who was holding his hand, "Seventh Brother, I thought Jia Lian was both civil and military at a young age. It will be different, but in the end he is still the same as us, still treated as a child by the family."

"Xiao Jiu, don't mess around." The Seventh Prince Situ Yuan frowned.

Obviously, Xiao Jiu understood the importance of Jia Lian's move. Why did Xiao Jiu dislike Jia Lian since he took office?If it was because he thought that Jia Lian was just a vain name before, after seven or eight days, Jia Lian's level and ability have also been shown, so what is Xiaojiu's reason now?

"Brother Seven, just protect him." Situ Rui snorted coldly.

Now that Jia Lian is not his person, they are starting to protect him. If Jia Lian really becomes his person, does he, the younger brother, have to step aside?

Situ Rui was absolutely unwilling to admit that he was jealous of Jia Lian.From the time Jia Lian began to show his ability to match the rumors, Situ Yuan's attitude towards him became gentler and closer.Even if he knew what Situ Yuan was really planning, Situ Rui still felt very uncomfortable.

Forget about Zhang Mao before, but now there is Jia Lian, it would be nice to have his younger brother as his right-hand man by Brother Qi's side!

Of course, Situ Rui was just playing petty like this at most.The importance of the Zhang family and the Jia family to their brothers is clear in his heart.

Jia Lian could only smile wryly, but Shang Qing beside him had a gloating expression.Both of them were companions of the Ninth Prince, one was from a scholarly background and the other was from a military commander's family. As a result, he, who was born in a scholarly family, was inferior to Jia Lian in riding and archery, and he was even inferior to him in cultural subjects!

The Ninth Prince obviously liked him more than Jia Lian, which finally made Shang Qing feel a little better.No matter how good Jia Lian is, it doesn't matter how good he is, if he doesn't get the love of the Ninth Prince, he still wants to stand out as a companion, so let's dream!No matter how capable he is, his background determines many things.

The Ninth Prince had a panoramic view of the reactions of the two accompanying readers, Jia Lian's helplessness made him secretly proud.No matter what, Jia Lian has to accept what his master does.And Shang Qing's stupidity, he doesn't want to say anything anymore, anyway, the Shang family was originally chosen by Seventh Brother to cover up, and Shang Qing's behavior will only make their Shang family's life more difficult in the future.

The department of the Ministry of Rites said that it is very important. After all, etiquette, sacrifices, banquets, schools, imperial examinations and foreign affairs activities are all in charge of this department, and it is an indispensable department in the court.But it is okay to say that this department is not important. The operation of the court without the above aspects can only be regarded as a deficiency.

Usually, the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is either held by an official who is about to become an official, or someone who is not reused by the emperor but has a good reputation. Shang Qing's father, Shang Wenjie, is the latter type of person.The Shang family said it was a scholarly world, but in fact, Shang Qing’s generation was only four generations old.

Shang Wenjie's grandfather came from a poor family. He was only a scholar in the previous dynasty. He happened to become one of his staff when Qing Taizu conquered the country, and the current Shang family came into being.Shang Wenjie's father is not considered to be very talented, but he just happened to meet by accident, or why Lin Ruhai's ancestor was also a staff member who followed Taizu Qing and was conferred the title of Marquis in the end, but what kind of title is the Shang family? nothing.

Situ Rui's words and deeds made the Seventh Prince shake his head helplessly in his heart. Even if he valued Jia Lian and the Jia family behind him, they still couldn't keep up with Situ Rui's weight in his heart.Situ Rui is Situ Yuan's younger brother, and even if Jia Lian and the Jia family are really in the same boat as him, they are just his servants.

But Situ Yuan has long understood the importance of people's hearts under the upbringing of Empress Mei. Since he wants the Jia family to be used by him, he naturally has to show respect no matter what.

"Jia Lian, you probably don't know because of your age, but the fact that your Jia family is splitting up is not only spreading in the whole capital, but also in the palace." The Seventh Prince said with a smile.His words have already been handed out, as to whether Jia Lian and the Jia family can understand it, it is their own business.

Jia Lian paused when he heard the words, and then rubbed his nose in distress: "This matter has spread to the palace? Jia Lian thanked the Seventh Highness for reminding me."

Glancing at him from the corner of his eye, the Seventh Prince nodded secretly.This Jia Lian is quite clever, and it seems that he can be made.Look at it more, if it is really good, you can let Zhang Mao continue to do the following things.However, is he poaching the corner of his big brother in disguise?

Thinking of the prince's attitude towards Empress Mei relying on Emperor Longxu's favor, Situ Yuan's lips curved into a sneer.He and the queen mother are indeed the prince/son/tang, but it doesn't mean that there is no gap between them and the prince.Besides, in the eyes of his elder brother, the prince, he didn't think that he and the queen mother were doing anything great to him.

After successfully completing a day's accompanying reading work, Jia Lian came to Lixiangyuan to see Jia Daishan without changing clothes when he returned home.He guessed a bit of the deep meaning of Situ Yuan's words, but whether it was true or not, he could only confirm after Jia Daishan listened to it.

It was very deserted in Lixiangyuan, after Jia Shishi moved here, there was no joy and laughter that used to be in Rongqingtang.Just because Jia Daishan ordered that Jia Shishi needs to rest, please An as long as you are in the yard, don't disturb her.Jia Yuanchun, who was raised by her side before, also went to the second bedroom's yard now.

After standing outside the West Wing and saluting, Jia Lian followed Jiang Jie to Jia Daishan's study.After expressing his thanks to Jiang Jie, he walked in.

"Lian'er is back, why did you come to grandfather's place today without even changing your clothes?" Jia Daishan spoke kindly, but the expression on his face was very flat.

He dealt with Jia Shishi like that, and his mood could not be adjusted so quickly.No matter how bad Jia Shishi was, she was still his first wife.What's more, the reason why he dealt with Jia Shishi was ultimately because of the second wife.

As long as he thought of Jia Zheng, Jia Daishan's mood couldn't get better.Even with a promising successor like Jia Lian, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are also his blood and blood. As a result, one is a dandy and the other is a hypocrite. It is strange that he, a father, can be in a good mood!

Now even if he finds the shortcomings of his two sons and wants them to correct them, it will be too late. Jia Zheng is nearly thirty years old, and his son Jia Zhu is ten years old. Why should he give him to him in front of his son and daughter? Can't you hold it up and adjust/teach it?

Even if Jia Daishan could bear this face to educate Jia Zheng, he still couldn't do what he wanted.He is old, and the injuries on his body have tortured him year after year, making him lose the drive he had when he was young.

Seriously speaking, if Jia Shishi hadn't often told him that Jia She was stubborn and pampered, didn't kiss his mother, and couldn't bear the responsibility, he wouldn't follow the second wife.Looking at it now, although Jia Amnesty is a bit of a dandy, he is much more useful than Jia Zheng.

At least, he will know that he made a mistake and is willing to change.What about Jia Zheng?He had already been taught badly by his mother, so why did he think that his second son could inherit the Rongguo Mansion? Did he read all the books in the stomach of a dog!
