[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 4

Jia Lian was holding a brush at the small desk in the outer room and earnestly traced the red. Mrs. Zhang walked in quietly, and after waving Mo Yi who was guarding at the side to retreat, she walked slowly to her son.Although aware of his mother's arrival, Jia Lian put down his brush after finishing the large characters in his hand seriously, and greeted Zhang respectfully: "Mother."

"My Lian'er has grown up and is sensible." Gently stroking Jia Lian's head, Mrs. Zhang looked at him kindly and felt more relieved, "Thank you for your hard work, Lian'er."

"I'm not working hard, mother!" Jia Lian said firmly.

It's good that he is a dandy and doesn't like reading, but compared to the suffering he suffered when he was exiled, it's nothing more than memorizing books and practicing Braille now.Thanks to his efforts, his mother, Mrs. Zhang, was able to get out of bed and walk with a rosy face, which is very good.

Reciting the "Book of Songs" is very boring, even with the easy-to-recite method taught to him by the system, it is not so easy.At this time, Jia Lian relied on some vernacular scripts provided by the system to pass the time and relax his mind.

Of course, the system told him to pass the time and relax his brain.It is impossible for the reborn native Lian Er Ye to understand such an overly modern term.

Jia Lian liked the dialogue books, and he was young, and he had read a lot of such scripts as "Hui Zhen Ji", so when the system proposed to provide him with some scripts, he readily agreed.Today's Jia Lian has not officially started enlightenment, it would be strange if he reads with a book in his arms, it's okay to be in a daze in the middle of the sky, at most people think this child is quiet.

Unfortunately, the script provided to him by the system is completely different from what he thought!More than half a month later, he read a total of three story books, all of which described the stories of the back houses of high-ranking officials or wealthy families. Learn more.

In his previous life, he had only heard Jia She's words before he knew how terrifying the superficial kindness and second aunt were, but that was just a kind of hearing rather than understanding.After reading these scripts, he realized that it was not so easy for him to grow up healthy.

It was also at this time that he recognized his father, Jia She.

Jia She said that he distanced himself from him to protect him. Jia Lian wanted to believe it but was afraid. After reading these three scripts, he knew the truth of Jia She's words.If there is anything wrong with his father, Jia She, it is that he is too foolish and filial to Jia Shishi and has no ability to resist.

This kind of Jia She can't hate Jia Lian, and can't get close, so it's better to follow the way of getting along in the previous life.If he can break the previous fate, then Jia She doesn't need to be exiled, and he can just be his old man in his yard.

Also after reading the script, Jia Lian has been hesitating whether to talk to Zhang Shi.After all, the affairs of Rongguo Mansion are the affairs of the inner house, and he, a big man, can't interfere in these matters.Well, he is still only a three-year-old boy, and he is still very early to be a man, but this age limits him even more.

Which honorable or noble family is run by a man?

Even if there is no mistress, it is taken care of by the housekeeper and nun at home.A man who wants to do big things has to do ordinary things, but he can't become a housekeeper.

Then again, can he master the skills of house fighting just by reading three house fighting stories?Jia Lian didn't believe that he had that ability. If he could be that good, he would have already memorized the "Book of Songs".Think about it, the "Book of Songs" has only 3 characters, and the "Book of Rites", which is also the Five Classics, contains three rituals-"Yili", "Zhouli" and "Book of Rites".

"Rituals" has 56115 words, "Zhou Li" has 45806 words, and "Book of Rites" has 99027 words, adding up to nearly 20 words, and the system requirement is still that it must be memorized in one month!Fortunately, the system has already told Jia Lian that this "Etiquette" needs to be recited by him at the end. He can get in touch with it before that and is allowed to recite some first, otherwise he really doesn't know if he can stick to the end.

Jia Lian felt that after his mother Zhang's problems were resolved, even if he could not compare with those great Confucians, he would definitely be much better than his second uncle, who had always been rumored to be able to read.In other words, how many scholars in this world can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics backwards?At most, the Analects of Confucius and the Great Learning, which are widely used, can do this.

But even this is worthy of admiration, it is really not easy for a scholar.

He is still just reciting. Thinking about it, a scholar has to thoroughly understand the Four Books and Five Classics, and he has to write an stereotyped essay on just one or two sentences.With just a few hundred words, not only must there be something to say, but also a brilliant literary talent...

Jia Lian only felt that when he was first reborn, he thought that he had to study hard and rely on the imperial examination to become an official, which was ridiculously naive.There are not many scholars in this world who can read well.Even if 300 people become tributes every three years, compared with the whole world, the proportion of scholars is still terribly small.

Grandfather Jia Daishan really loved his aunt Jia Min, so he found such an uncle for her.

Lin Ruhai is not only from a noble family, but also from a scholarly family, and even a Tanhualang.It's a pity that the Lin family didn't have many heirs, and my aunt had no children for many years after her marriage, and she finally had Lin Daiyu, who was not very healthy.In the end, the Lin family became extinct, and the Lin family's property became the Jia family's Grand View Garden and the private property of the old lady and the second wife.

After experiencing rebirth, Jia Lian is no longer stubborn about the retribution of the reincarnation of the gods and Buddhas, although he is surprised why the second wife who has done so many bad things has not received the slightest retribution.Even though it was strange, he was still full of guilt towards his uncle Lin Ruhai and cousin Lin Daiyu.

He failed his uncle's entrustment and used all the property he obtained from the Lin family to fill the vacancy in the Rongguo Mansion, but in the end he watched helplessly as Jiamu and Second Aunt forced Lin Daiyu, who had used up his dowry, to death.Looking back now, Lin Ruhai has been an official for so many years, and he is Jane's confidant in the heart of the emperor, how could he not see his calculation and pride at that time.But Lin Ruhai has no one to entrust, so he can only choose to trust his wife Jia Min's natal family.

Maybe, the Rongguo Mansion was eventually copied and it was also inseparable from this.

Jia Lian used to think that his second uncle, Jia Zheng, was so upright, but now he thinks that his second uncle is a pseudo-scholar, and it's just an embarrassment to a scholar.

After taking the exam for more than ten years, I still haven't passed the exam for a scholar. In the end, I got an official position thanks to the grace of my ancestors. That is a member of the Ministry of Industry.

All day long in the mansion, he talked about poetry and painting with the Qing guests he raised, but whether it was Jia Zheng or his Qing guests, which one was recognized for his accomplishments in calligraphy, painting and poetry?Even the literati circle in the capital can't get in!

Looking at Jia Lian's immature face with all kinds of expressions that did not match his age, Mrs. Zhang sighed, and pulled him to the side couch and sat down.

"Lian'er, mother wants to have a good talk with you."

"Ah?" Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Zhang in surprise, shouldn't he talk to his mother.

Mrs. Zhang tidied up her son's clothes before putting him in her arms and whispering into his ear, "Lian'er, what do you mix with tea for mother every time?"

Now Jia Lian was no longer shocked but terrified, how should he explain to Zhang Shi?Will Mrs. Zhang think that he is a monster who returns to the sun after death, and will he find monks or Taoist priests to deal with him?Recalling Wang Xifeng's madness and Jia Baoyu's coma, Jia Lian's face turned pale.

Jia Lian's terrified appearance made Zhang frowned, and she patted him on the back: "Don't be afraid, Lian'er. Mother knows Lian'er is a good boy, but mother just wants to know where Lian'er got the medicine... Yes, I hope Lian'er will be more careful, it doesn't matter if her mother finds out, but if someone else finds out..."

Jia Lian naturally understood what his mother had said, but as a three-year-old child, he shouldn't understand it. He didn't know how to react.But just like what Zhang said, his actions are not comprehensive at all, Zhang can tolerate him and even help him, but what if others find out?

Did the existence that claimed to be the system really want to help him, or did he treat everything about him as a staged drama, as an adjustment for the system in its spare time?

Jia Lian has no answer to everything. In this reborn world, he is alone.But now, Zhang's words lit a bright light for him.No matter what, the mother's love for the child is selfless, the grandmother is to the second uncle, the second wife is to Jiazhu and Baoyu, and Wang Xifeng is to Qiaojie.Since this is the case, Zhang Shi should treat him the same way, right?

Jia Lian suddenly calmed down when the suspicious black eyes met Zhang's gentle and tolerant apricot eyes.There was also a pale smile on the baby-fat face, and he said to Zhang: "Mother, Lian'er worshiped a master, and the master gave Lian'er the medicine, and asked Lian'er to give it to mother once every three days." , can alleviate the toxins of the thousand day drunkenness in the mother's body."

Jia Lian had a master, Mrs. Zhang, whom no one else knew, and had guessed it in private, but her poisoning was no longer in her consideration.

"Lian'er, you said mother was poisoned?" Zhang's face turned pale, and she couldn't think of asking Master Jia Lian for the time being.

Carefully observing Zhang's expression, she found that she really didn't overdo her abnormality. Jia Lian nodded obediently and said, "Well, the master said that mother, you have been poisoned for a long time. People in the world use this kind of poison more often. The imperial physicians and imperial physicians basically couldn’t find out. The symptoms of poisoning are mainly the gradual weakness of the body. No matter how you take care of it or take medicines that nourish qi and blood, it will not work. In the end, you can only... "

Zhang naturally understood what Jia Lian didn't say, and now she was as pale as Jia Lian.If it wasn't for his son's sudden obeisance to some master and realizing that she was poisoned, then the final result...

Just thinking about it, Zhang couldn't help shivering.
