[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 41

Mrs. Mei raised her head and looked at Queen Mei, who was seated above. The curvature of her mouth and the smile in her eyes showed that she had a good first impression of Jia Lian as a son-in-law candidate.She had known for a long time that neither she nor her husband could decide on her daughter's marriage, but the candidate proposed by the prince's nephew was quite satisfactory, otherwise she would not have brought Mei Xiruo into the palace so soon.

Even if Mrs. Mei is not satisfied with Jia Lian, at least he has met her many requirements.Jia Lian's family background, appearance and personal ability are good. The only thing that people criticize is his father, who is known as a dandy and a lecher.Fortunately, Jia Amnesty has restrained himself in the past two years, and Jia Lian has Zhang's mother, which gave him some points.

The first meeting between Jia Lian and his young daughter-in-law ended like this, and the subsequent development was also different from what he thought.Jia Daishan didn't take him to visit Duke Cheng'en's mansion, after all, it was too eye-catching.In the end, Jia Daishan and Mei Yi met at Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital. One was because the branch sect wanted to re-purchase the sacrificial land, and the other was taking the whole family to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat.

Regardless of the process, Jia Lian finally kept his promise to see Mei Xiruo.After that, although the two did not finally confirm their identities due to age issues, the two elders turned a blind eye to each other and even secretly helped them in their private contacts.

With the passage of time, Jia Lian has become used to asking someone to give Mei Xiruo every time he gets something good.

This good thing has a wide range. It may be a clay doll or a bamboo basket made of wicker that he found outside, or it may be a poem or a chess score he came across by chance, and it is more likely that he found a good one. A snack or a dish or a pastry.

Mei Xiruo, who was growing up, also kept her brother Lian firmly in her mind. At least, the first time she made a net, the first purse she embroidered became Jia Lian's treasure.

And because of this, Jia Lian's life also fell into dire straits.You know, Mei Xiruo has five older brothers, not to mention Situ Yuan, the prince's cousin with a huge age difference who loves her as his own sister!

Not to mention, with these brothers-in-law taking turns finding fault, Jia Lian became more interested in Mei Xiruo.In addition to the fact that the frequency of sending things has changed from once every two or three days to almost once a day, some poems written by myself will be attached from time to time.

It was during this interaction that Jia Lian's understanding of Mei Xiruo gradually deepened.He also understands that in his opinion, the system's education method can be said to squeeze him, and it is nothing to these children of scholarly families.

Mei Xiruo was nearly three years younger than him, and the Mei family had no requirements for her except four books, five classics and stereotyped essays, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and fu were her most basic courses.And as she grows older, she takes more courses, such as housekeeping, female red, chef, identification of antique gold and stone, identification and preservation methods of fur and satin...

Jia Lian remembered that when Mei Xiruo complained to him about having too much homework, she also said that her courses were less than a third of those of her brothers.He finally understands why those real families can always be passed on for so many generations. Even if the family is hit because of some things and no longer falls high and low, as long as there are still descendants of the family who have mastered this knowledge, there will always be a day of comeback.

Had it not been for the system's oppression and coaxing, Jia Lian would not have learned so many things. Even if the system said that he wanted to be a powerful minister and needed to master these things, he would just listen.And he hasn't really stepped into the court yet, but he already understands that what the system taught him is really useful.

Jia Lian, who will be twelve years old in a month, is wearing armor covered in blood and scratches, and the small non-phase kung fu in his body is constantly running, finally barely resisting the ubiquitous severe cold.The fire was burning in the snow, and a huge earthen jar on the shelf was bubbling, and the smell of meat came out, making the men who sat around in a circle and described themselves as embarrassed couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Jia Lian, is this pheasant soup ready soon?" The dark-skinned, long-bearded man with a scar from his eyebrows down to his chin flattered Jia Lian, who closed his eyes and meditated.

Opening his eyes and looking at the crock, Jia Lian took out a paper bag from his arms and sprinkled some powder into it.The rich fresh fragrance came out immediately, and the sound of a group of people swallowing their saliva became heavier.

"The soup is ready to drink. As for the pheasant chicken, if you don't mind pinching your teeth, you can pick it up and eat it together." Jia Lian said as he got up and walked to the frozen lake in the distance. Go find a way to get some fish, just thinking about such a little pheasant soup can't fill your stomach."

The men sitting around laughed a few times, and each took out a wooden bowl under the yelling of the black-faced man. After each got a piece of chicken and a bowl of hot soup, they sat beside the fire After roasting, it was still eaten with the dry food that was too hard when it was frozen.

In the past, when they left the camp to perform missions in this season of heavy snow blocking the mountains, the only thing to fill their stomachs was this dry food that was so hard that it could directly knock people unconscious.And since Jia Lian joined their team a few months ago, not only their survivability has improved, but their food has also become more abundant.

"I really don't know how that kid Jia Lian practiced. I'm also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for more than 20 or [-] years. The hunting skills in the snow are simply incomparable with that kid." The black-faced man took a mouthful of hot soup. After eating a mouthful of dry food, he felt his body warm up along with his stomach before he spoke.

"Boss, I remember very well that when Jia Lian was assigned to our team, your face was so dark that you couldn't even see the scars." A man in his early twenties next to the big man joked.

"Isn't it!" The man sitting opposite swallowed the soup in the wooden bowl, sighed contentedly, and then continued, "The boss is still telling us to be careful in private, saying that Jia Lian sent us from the capital. This gilded honorable son needs to be treated with care. In the end, fortunately, Jia Lian was assigned to our team, and our team has made a lot of contributions in the past few months!"

The black-faced man glared at them viciously: "We have noble children who come over from the capital every year to be gilded. Is there any difference between Jia Lian's thin skin and tender flesh? Who knew he was so fierce. He really deserves to be Rong Guogong's grandson is different from those honorable children!"

The black-faced man was very satisfied when all the men calmed down. Finally, his prestige as the captain is still there, and these bastards still know that they can't refute him casually.Just when he was about to nod his head, Bai Shan, the man who was teasing him, got up and walked over him quickly, and then the voice came from behind him.

"I got so many fish so quickly, I really have your Jia Lian!" Bai Shan smiled and took a large string of fish in Jia Lian's hand, "Sit down and rest for a while, I left a portion in the crock. These fish We'll just deal with it."

"Brother Bai, please." Jia Lian nodded politely, walked back to the previous seat and sat down, and said with a gentle smile, "The cold weather made these fish go crazy with hunger, even if you don't need the bait, they can't stop biting the hook. That's a lot in one go."

"It's also Jia Lian, you are good at martial arts. It's not so easy for ordinary people to break through the ice." Li Nian, who was the first to tease the black-faced man, picked up the earthen pot and poured the remaining soup and chicken into Jia Lian's wooden bowl, and took it from the side A jar of clean snow is put back on the shelf, ready to wash the fish processed by Baishan after the snow melts.

The black-faced man Che Jin coughed in embarrassment, he didn't expect to be heard behind his back, but fortunately Jia Lian's temperament was different from those of ordinary noble children.

Although Jia Lian's demeanor and speech were a bit out of tune with these big bosses, he not only endured hardship, but also completely defeated them in terms of force.Those of them who came from military households have always believed in the principle of big fists. A strong man like Jia Lian should naturally be respected by them.

What's more, Jia Lian is not only good at martial arts.After these few months, the few of them have fully experienced Jia Lian's medical skills and strategies. After returning to the barracks this time, Jia Lian probably won't stay in their vanguard spies.

Jia Lian was holding a wooden bowl and sipping soup, her long and white fingers looked particularly slender and crystal clear against the snowy light.If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that the owner of such fingers would have killed many enemies with such high martial arts skills.

To be honest, the thin skin and tender meat that Che Jin mentioned is really not a derogatory term for Jia Lian.This guy came to the northern border of the Daqing Dynasty for a few months, and his white and tender skin hasn't changed much. All kinds of abnormalities really make them, the soldiers who have been stationed in the north all the year round, dumbfounded.

"Jia Lian just happened to worship under the name of Master by chance." The strange eyes of the men staring at his fingers made the corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitch. He knew that these men didn't mean anything malicious but just thought his fingers were pretty so they just looked at them more.but--

Just a few months after he came to the northern border, he already understood the meaning of the system's joke of "a three-year soldier's sow competes with Diaochan".If it weren't for his own powerful force, it's really unclear what a son with his appearance would encounter in this barracks.

Being far away on the northern border, the background in the capital is not very useful, otherwise there are so many princes and brothers who come to gild every year, and there are not many who can go back all of them.

So what Situ Yuan said was that he wanted him to come to the north to take over Jia Daishan's former contacts and subordinates. In fact, he saw that Jia Lian and Mei Xiruo's relationship was getting better and better, so he sent him to the north. right? !

Even if cousins ​​and cousins ​​are not in a relationship, the risk factor is still not small for Jia Lian.Situ Yuan is still the prince now, so Mei Xiruo gave him the little shoes for his subordinates so openly. After he ascends the throne, will he be in a worse situation?

Could it be that what Situ Rui secretly told him was true, if the Mei family hadn't required his son-in-law to have only one wife, would Situ Yuan really name Mei Xiruo as his side concubine?It's not right to say that, Situ Yuan just married Jia Lian's cousin Zhang Fang last year, and the couple are well-known royal model couples in the capital.

Situ Yuan didn't have a concubine room in the previous palace for Zhang Fang!If the relationship between him and Zhang Fang is still all fake, Jia Lian can only be shocked by his master's indifference and then feel chilled.
