[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 53

Jia Shishi's pale face only made the wives who came to pay respects mistakenly think that she and Jia Daishan were deeply in love with each other. After all, at this time, no one thought that the birthday of the Duke's wife was also the third day of August.Everyone in Jia's family was preoccupied with Rong Guogong's funeral, among them, only Jia Lian knew why Jia Shishi's complexion was uglier than theirs.

Jia Shishi's [-]th birthday in the previous life was the last glory of Rongguo Mansion, and the three-day birthday banquet was full of ostentation for Rongguo Mansion.To be honest, the date of Jia Daishan's death was not calculated by Jia Lian, nor was the Tianxiang Xuming Pill taken every six months on time.

However, Jia Daishan died at the end of October in his previous life, but in this life it was three months earlier.Although almost three months of medicine was wasted, Jia Lian was very satisfied with the result.

From now on, on the third day of the eighth lunar month, can Jia Shishi still do something big?It's not appropriate to have a family banquet even if you hide in your own house, let alone a show with wine.

When Jia Daishan passed away, Emperor Longxu did not come to mourn in person but sent the Seventh Prince Situ Yuan to represent him.As a result, everyone in the capital who looked at others came to the door one after another, and the gates of Ronghou Mansion could be said to be endless, and the mood of everyone in Jia's Mansion did not change.

For Jia Shishi, the anniversary of Jia Daishan's death is to poke her heart again. With so many people coming to express their condolences, wouldn't it be impossible for her to have a birthday party by herself in the future!As for Erfang, these honorary contacts are now owned by the big family and have nothing to do with them.

On April [-]th in Jia Daishan, Lin Ruhai, who was far away in Huai'an, came to the capital with a pair of children. Jia Min couldn't come because she was pregnant and couldn't go out.After Lin Yiyu kowtowed to Jia Daishan in the mourning hall, she followed the servant girl to the backyard to meet Jia Shishi, and Jia Lian received Lin Ruhai and his son.

Seeing Jia Lian with picturesque features and gentle demeanor, Lin Ruhai was stunned for a long while.

Jia Min, the nephew, knew about the fact that he attacked the Marquis because of his military exploits in northern Xinjiang, but he hadn't seen him for many years. He always thought that Jia Lian should be a tough boy like his father-in-law, but when he saw it, it was completely different from what he imagined. no the same!

This Jia Lian looked like a romantic official who came out of calligraphy and painting, and at a glance, he didn't match up with a general at all.

Standing beside Lin Ruhai, Lin Xu looked at Jia Lian curiously. He and his younger sister Lin Yiyu often heard their mother talk about how close they were to this cousin when they were young in the capital. Brother mother's blessing.

After seeing her now, it made his already close heart a little more.

His Cousin Lian's demeanor was a bit warm and clear, not much worse than his classmates in the academy who looked like Jiangnan celebrities.I just don't know how accomplished he is in learning, if he is not bad, then we should really get close to him.

Jia Lian still stared at Lin Ruhai and his son without squinting. In the previous life, the uncle who Jia Daishan died of him did not return to Beijing to express his condolences, but only sent a housekeeper and a few servants.All three members of the family have come here in this life. Apart from the fact that he was demoted to Xijue to Marquis of Rongguo, it is also time for him to be promoted.

Jia Lian didn't know everything about many things in his previous life, but he did know one thing.Lin Daiyu was born in Yangzhou. It is said that when she was born, the whole city of Yangzhou was full of flowers.The Lin family is different from the Jia family. The Jia family had a young man who was born of love and made half of the capital boil, but the Lin family was Lin Daiyu who gave orders as soon as Lin Ruhai was born. This matter can't be spread!

And Jia Lian would know, it was because Jia Shishi wanted to show off his granddaughter.In the eyes of the old lady, her grandson was born with a psychic treasure, and her granddaughter was congratulated by Baihua when she was born, isn't it a perfect match!

Jia Amnesty is still alive, even though Jia Lian is the master of Ronghou Mansion, he can't be the mourner.Although Jia She wished that Jia Lian would do the funeral for the host, but he, a dandy old man, really couldn't do something that violated etiquette.If he could do it, he wouldn't be suppressed like that by Jia Shishi and Erfang in his previous life.

Jia Amnesty knelt in the mourning hall, Jia Lian brought Lin Ruhai and his son, who had bowed and offered incense, to the outer study room, and after a few pleasantries, Lin Ruhai sent Lin Xu to the backyard to pay his respects to Jia Shishi.After the door of the outer study room was closed, Lin Ruhai looked inexplicably for a long while before he said, "Xi'er won't go back to Jiangnan with Xu'er this time, and I'll have to trouble Lian'er to take care of my cousin when the time comes."

"Xi'er?" Jia Lian raised her eyebrows.

"It's An An." When Lin Ruhai talked about his child, the lines on his face became softer, "An An is a nickname given by Min'er, you know Lian'er, I gave the jade mentioned in the letter earlier. She gave her baby name, while Lin Xi is her scientific name."

Jia Lian said nothing.The Lin family really is a scholarly world, which is different from their Jia family, a name is so complicated.Thinking of his last life when he died at the age of 33 without even a word, he only felt sad.Jia Shishi never thought that it would be enough to add a title to the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest family, but Jia Amnesty didn't think about it at all...

Even though he felt that Lin Ruhai was not devoted enough to Lin Daiyu all his life, and he didn't even know what kind of life she lived in Rongguo Mansion, but at least Lin Ruhai really loved Lin Daiyu and his current child.

Compared with Jia She, Lin Ruhai is worthy of the title of father.

"Scientific name? Uncle, as my aunt said, hired a teacher for my cousin?" Jia Lian asked with a faint smile.In her previous life, Lin Daiyu also studied under the teacher Jia Yucun, but she didn't seem to have a scientific name. Could it be that this is because of him?

"It's natural. To my Lin family, a son is as precious as a daughter!" Lin Ruhai said firmly, but Jia Lian sneered coldly when he heard it.

If it is really as precious, how could Lin Daiyu have such an ending in her previous life.If Lin Daiyu is a boy who can inherit the incense, Lin Ruhai will really go all the way to the dark, didn't he think about leaving a way out for his child?And this scientific name...

The gap between Lin Daiyu and Lin Xi is not small; it is just like the gap between Jia Yingchun and Jia Cheng.

However, Jia Lian, who is a man, can understand Lin Ruhai's thoughts.If his Qiaojie had been a boy, and if Wang Xifeng's boy hadn't been lost, maybe he would have thought about changing and becoming a responsible father.

Jia Lian secretly laughed at his thoughts, even if he had a son, what would he do with the one in his previous life?Not the same stupid!

"What plans does my uncle have for my cousin's draft next year?"

Smiling wryly, Lin Ruhai said helplessly, "What your aunt and I think is that it's best to put down the sign at the last pass and get married by ourselves."

Jia Lian didn't answer this matter, but changed the subject abruptly: "Uncle, after you return to Jiangnan this time, you will be promoted?"

"How do you know?!" Lin Ruhai stared at Jia Lian in surprise.It was Emperor Longxu's secret decree that he was going to be promoted to the Xunyan Yushi. Even Jia Min didn't say anything about it. How did Jia Lian know about it?

"Do you still remember the letter my grandfather wrote to you?" Jia Lian spoke in a subtle way, but Lin Ruhai was shocked when he heard it.

Jia Daishan's letter to Lin Ruhai was naturally not straightforward, but it also revealed a lot to him.At the very least, he is still working hard to deal with the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and it is precisely because of the old father-in-law's suggestion.And who is standing behind the Ronghou Mansion, he also knows a little bit.

"How sure are you, Lian'er?" Finally, Lin Ruhai asked with a serious expression.

"Aside from that one, Uncle, who else do you think has this possibility?" Lifting her chin to the south, Jia Lian smiled half-smile, "Do you think those few people in the south of the Yangtze River can really last for a long time? Now that the old lady is alive, she must show some dignity, or... there is Luoyang, can you still see the shadow of that family?"

Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat, Jia Lian's words had been made very clear: "Lian'er, you mean your cousin...?"

"Uncle, you should be very clear about the significance of the position of inspecting salt censor." Jia Lian tapped his finger on the coffee table, "You should be thankful that your cousin is still young."

The salt inspection censor not only manages salt affairs, but also purchases valuables for the court and investigates social conditions. It can be said that he is the most lucrative official position in Daqing.Those who can be selected by the Holy One for this official position must be the Holy One's confidantes.But no matter how confidant he is, the emperor can't believe that he can not be moved in the face of such huge benefits. Therefore, the inspector of the salt censor is appointed every three years, and basically no one stays.

Lin Ruhai's complexion changed drastically, and his usual gentle voice was completely hoarse: "Listen to Lian'er, is it possible that the Holy Majesty doesn't intend to let me be the only one?!"

Jia Lian smiled enigmatically.Of course he couldn't guess what Emperor Longxu was thinking, but Lin Ruhai died in office in his previous life, and it was the fourth time he had stayed on as the Xunyan Yushi at that time.With Lin Xu and Lin Xi twins in this life, Emperor Longxu happened to be more able to make a fuss.

Marrying a princess as a son-in-law was not a good job in the Daqing Dynasty. There were very few princesses who could stay in Beijing, and the son-in-law could not be promoted to an official in Beijing for the rest of his life.Compared to Lin Xu marrying a princess, it is indeed better for Lin Xi to marry into the royal family.Although Xunyan Yushi is only a third-rank official, this official position has a different meaning after all.As Lin Ruhai's eldest daughter, as long as she didn't enter the harem, Lin Xi should be the main wife no matter what.

Lin Ruhai's complexion changed again and again, and finally he made up his mind and closed his eyes and opened them to stare at Jia Lian, "Lian'er, uncle is putting the whole family's life on your terms!"

He could have expressed his choice in cryptic language, but in the end he decided to be blunt.Just like what Jia Lian said, there is no other choice but that Emperor Longxu. If he doesn't make it clear at this time, everything will be different after that superior.

Jane's role in the emperor's heart is not so easy to do. In the past few years, he has been in dire straits in the south of the Yangtze River. If it weren't for the Jia family's influence in the south of the Yangtze River to help him secretly, he would not be able to get to where he is today. uncertain.

It's not that the Zhen family didn't care about wooing him, but in the end they gave up after thinking secretly.

The Zhen family can only exist today because of the old lady who was the nanny of Emperor Longxu. That old lady is now over 70, who can guarantee how long she will live.When the crown prince was abolished, Emperor Longxu did not show mercy to the two or four princes from Concubine Zhen Gui. One was killed directly, and the other was placed under house arrest.

Although Jia's mansion was not as beautiful as Jia Daishan's, but with Jia Lian, the Marquis of Rongguo who had made great contributions to the Northern Xinjiang Jurchens incident, the Holy Majesty would not be able to forget Jia's mansion!
