[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 38

"Auntie brought my little cousin into the palace?" A faint light flashed in the seventh prince's black eyes, and then the curve of his lips gently raised again, "Isn't my little cousin cute, Bilian?"

Since Empress Mei became a queen, his grandfather Mei Yi has put them under strict control.After resigning from the official post as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he even locked the door of Cheng Engong so that he could not go out easily.Empress Mei is the eldest daughter of Mei Yi, and there is only one younger brother under Empress Mei, and the entire Mei family has no other children except the siblings.

While Mei Yi's family stayed at home to cultivate their minds and minds, his son had nothing to do but to raise several grandchildren for him with his wife.After having five grandchildren, Mrs May finally gave birth to a baby girl three years ago.

The average family does not want to have a girl, because the girl is a loser.For the aristocrats of the family, daughters are vigorously cultivated from birth, because they are important marriage tools.However, for a scholarly family like the Mei family, whether it is the former Empress Mei or the current Mei Xiruo, they are all loved by everyone.

Had it not been for the previous emperor's will, Empress Mei would not have become Emperor Longxu's side concubine.Mei Yi would rather her daughter marry into a small family and become the wife of the house than to have anything to do with the royal family.The fate of the king is hard to bear, and the Mei family, who has already lost a daughter, will never want to see Mei Xiruo also marry into the royal family.

Fortunately, Empress Mei and the Seventh Prince had a deep affection for the Mei family. Emperor Longxu was also very satisfied with the well-informed Mei family. After knowing the Mei family's plan, he promised not to let Mei Xiruo marry into the royal family or the clan.If not, even if Empress Mei wanted to see this little niece again, Mrs. Mei would not bring her into the palace to pay her respects.

The Mei family is the Seventh Prince's natal family, this is an unchangeable blood relationship, so the Mei family is naturally the Seventh Prince's party.After Jia Lian showed his ability and temperament, the Seventh Prince thought it was a good idea to make him his cousin-in-law.

In the eyes of the Seventh Prince, this marriage is an excellent idea.Although Jia Lian is still young, his determination and city are comparable to those of some adults.Such a talent Situ Yuan was unwilling to let go easily, marriage is the strongest relationship of interests, once Jia Lian and him became relatives, the Rongguo Mansion would naturally become his influence.

Jia Daishan's real job is basically the same as his false job now, and the Rongguo Mansion is separated from the Ningguo Mansion, and Jia She and Jia Zheng are well-known in the capital for being pedantic and pedantic. The Rongguo Mansion has fallen from the top of the capital to the second Going forward, the marriage between such a family and Cheng'en Gong Mansion can basically be said to be a good match.

After getting along for this period of time, Situ Yuan has confidence in his vision, he believes that Jia Lian is absolutely capable of making his little cousin happy.Mei Ruoxi is the daughter-in-law of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, and also the cousin of the prince. She cannot marry casually.

Jia Lian and Mei Ruoxi are both less than seven years younger, so there is no need to worry about their reputation.In this way, the two of them can be strong since childhood, even if they are not childhood sweethearts and talk about marriage in the future, it is not a blind marriage.Situ Yuan thought that although he was looking out for his own interests, he had also considered Mei Xiruo, his little cousin.

If he hadn't passed his inspection, Jia Lian would have no chance of becoming his cousin-in-law.

"Yes, Miss Mei is very cute. The empress loves her so much, she said that she would stay in the palace for a few more days." Bilian replied with a smile.

As the queen's confidant, she also knew a little bit about her little master's plan. Just now, she quietly looked at Jia Lian, but she was quite satisfied with his appearance and temperament.Presumably, the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Mei will not have any objections after seeing her.

Jia Lian, who has practiced martial arts and his martial arts is not bad in the system evaluation, naturally sensed the scrutiny of the court lady Bilian. After hearing the conversation between the Seventh Prince and this court lady, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.This is not the sixth sense of a warrior that can detect danger, but an indescribable strange feeling.It's just that there was obviously no room for him to interject, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.

"The queen mother didn't want to let the little cousin out of the palace because the fifth sister felt lonely after she got married." The one who made fun of the queen was not the seventh prince who always treated his mother with filial piety, but the ninth prince who was equivalent to Empress Mei's other son, " But this little cousin is more than three years old, and I have seen it with my own eyes, Brother Seven, have you seen it?"

The grinning expression covered the shadow under his eyes.He knew that Situ Yuan had such an arrangement, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.Before, he was still sighing that he could no longer run on Jia Lian as he wanted, but the sudden realization of this sigh made him a little unprepared.

Seventh brother was a little too quick, once it was confirmed that Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion were separated, he made arrangements so quickly, it seemed that he was really interested in Jia Lian and Jia's family.

The seventh prince shook his head: "As a prince, I can't go out of the palace easily, how can I see little cousin Xi Ruo." However, judging from the looks of both uncle and aunt, this little cousin should not be too bad in appearance Go, think about it and the exquisite Jia Lian can be regarded as a match made in heaven.

A little girl's clear voice like a silver bell could be heard in the distance, Jia Lian followed Zhang Mao and wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by the Seventh Prince raising his hand: "Little cousin Xi Ruo is only a little over three years old now, you two don't have to be so careful."

Zhang Mao knew about the arrangement of the Seventh Prince and had already communicated with Zhang Song, so he stopped immediately.And Jia Lian seemed to realize something at this time, and after moving his feet uncomfortably, he stood beside Zhang Mao and lowered his head.

Even if he didn't think about renewing his relationship with Wang Xifeng, is he really suitable to talk about marriage at his current age? !Although he knew very well that the meeting of the two children was arranged by the Seventh Prince alone, but Mei Xiruo's identity made him unable to raise any objections at all.

The future emperor's little cousin, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, he won't be Jia Lian!This is a great way to get on the future emperor's ship. The Seventh Prince has already offered an olive branch. He would be stupid if he didn't accept it.

As the crisp and soft voice became clearer and clearer, a large group of people got closer and closer to Wan Ruiting.

I saw a little girl wearing a red dress embroidered with a phoenix wearing a peony pattern and combing two buns walking in the front. Her cheeks were slightly bulging with baby fat, which made people want to pinch her cheeks. impulse.The small pink mouth was opening and closing to say something to the girl in the emerald green court maid, and the small hands with fleshy dimples pointed at the flowers in the imperial garden from time to time.

"Miss, we have arrived at Wan Rui Pavilion." Hong He smiled and said to the excited little girl, "Do you want to take a rest?"

Mei Xiruo turned her head to look, then turned her head and blinked at Hong He: "Sister Hong He, there are already people in the pavilion."

"It's okay, Miss." Hong He looked up, and said to Mei Xiruo after the Seventh Prince nodded slightly, "The ones in the pavilion are Miss's cousins ​​His Highness Seventh Prince and His Highness Ninth Prince. It should be the end of today's homework, and the two Highnesses came to the Imperial Garden to relax."

"A cousin from the Queen's aunt's family?" Mei Xiruo tilted her head, her chubby cheeks became more prominent, her cute appearance made Hong He's fingers folded in front of her lower abdomen tremble.Ms. Mei is so cute, but it's a pity that I can't pinch it to try the texture. Hong He deeply regrets this.

"Yes, ma'am."

Recalling the explanation of her father and mother before entering the palace, Mei Xiruo straightened her body and walked towards Wan Rui Pavilion with graceful steps.Her performance like this made Jia Lian, who had been paying attention to this side since she appeared, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, he sighed heavily in his heart.

This is the real young lady of an aristocratic family. She is still at an age when she should act like a baby in the arms of her parents, but she has already imprinted this rule into her bones.

Jia Lian, who grew up under the oppression and teaching of the system, finally understood that it is not easy to be a son of a family and a daughter, and Wang Xifeng, who can't even read a word and only reads the account book, has never been considered a daughter of a family.Qualified noble daughters and daughters are not necessarily proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but etiquette, communication and housekeeping are compulsory subjects since childhood.

Wang Xifeng is good at communication and housekeeping, but she is much worse at etiquette.

Mei Xiruo finally walked into Wanrui Pavilion, with a bright smile on her small face, she squatted properly and bowed her knees to greet Situ Yuan and Situ Rui.

"Cousin get up quickly." Situ Yuan stretched out his hand to support Mei Xiruo.It was also the first time he had seen this little cousin, but her appearance, which was very similar to the face of his fifth sister who married into the Beijing Palace, made him have a good impression of this little cousin.

"That's right, cousin, you don't have to be so polite with your cousins." The Ninth Prince continued, and handed a plate of mung bean wishful cakes to Mei Xiruo, "After walking for so long, cousin, you are hungry, do you want some? This mung bean ruyi cake? This is my cousin's favorite cake."

If Meixi saw that the Ninth Prince was younger than the Seventh Prince and claimed to be her cousin, she would know that he was the prince raised in front of her queen's aunt.Reaching out to take a mung bean wishful cake and taking a bite, the smile on her face became even sweeter: "Well, Your Highness Ninth Prince is right, it's really delicious."

Looking at the smiling and silent seventh prince from the corner of his eyes, the ninth prince smiled and patted Mei Xiruo's head: "Look, Brother Seven and I both call you cousin, and you still call us Your Highness? When there are no outsiders, just Our cousin is fine."

Mei Xiruo was stunned by Situ Rui's words, she turned her eyes, raised her fleshy fingers, and pointed at Zhang Mao and Jia Lian, who were not far behind the two princes, who were dressed completely differently from the eunuchs: "Aren't they outsiders? "

In Mei Xiruo's heart, the maids and eunuchs are servants of the royal family, just like her maids and servants, they are all belongings of the master's family, so naturally they can't be regarded as outsiders.But Jia Lian and Zhang Mao are obviously not from the palace, so are they also considered outsiders?

With just such a question, Situ Yuan knew that his little cousin was as smart as ice and snow as Queen Mei had said before.And this made him look forward to the marriage between the Mei family and the Jia family even more.He walked up to her a few steps and knelt down to look at her, smiling warmly: "Both of them are not outsiders, they are people trusted by my cousin, so Xi Ruo doesn't have to worry."
