[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 59

The days of keeping filial piety were a rare leisure time for Jia Lian.Although learning is endless, after years of hard work, there is basically nothing the system can teach him, and what he has to do now is to spend time making this knowledge his own.

Get up early to practice swordsmanship, read books and practice calligraphy after breakfast, take a lunch break to practice internal strength, do two stereotyped essays in the afternoon, and play the piano and flute in the evening.Occasionally, Xue Pan, who came to seek abuse in disguise and admired him even more, instructed Xue Xunman to break away from the Xue family.

Xue Xun is a very responsible and courageous man. He was able to marry Xue Wang's wife for the sake of the Xue family, and now he can also give up the other seven houses for the sake of Xue's family lineage.As for the qualifications of the imperial merchants, although Jia Lian looked down on them very much, the status of the imperial merchants was still much higher than that of ordinary merchants, so Xue Xun was unwilling to give up.

Jia Lian was noncommittal about this, and based on his relationship with Situ Yuan, there was no problem with his qualifications as a small imperial merchant.

The time passed like this, and the scorching sun in July was just at the time when Jia Lian's filial piety period was officially over, and soon after Jia Lian received an unexpected guest from the capital.The only son of King Shuigen of Beijing and the fifth princess, the future elegant and talented King of Beijing who will sweep the capital—Shui Rong.

This Shui Rong is just five years old now, and although he hasn't seen him for a while, he obviously still remembers Jia Lian who once visited his home.His big eyes fixed on Jia Lian's handsome facial features for a long time before he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Jia Lian.

"This is what my father asked me to give you."

Jia Lian took the letter, opened it and read it at a glance, then looked at Shui Rong with complicated eyes.Speaking of which, this child is not the same person as the King of Beijing Jing who admired Jia Baoyu so much in his previous life. That water-melting one is gentle and personable, but this one is a child with a sparse expression.

Not surprisingly, who doesn't wear a mask?Even Shui Rong, who was born in the palace, had to hide himself in order to live a good life.

However, Jia Lian couldn't believe that Shui Gen believed him so much.Shui Gen actually entrusted his only son to him at this critical moment, the only explanation Jia Lian could think of was that it had something to do with Situ Yuan again.After the death of Shui Gen and his wife in the previous life, who took over this Shui Rong?

Jia Lian couldn't remember, but he understood that it seemed that this little guy was going to have something to do with him in this life.If the life trajectory of Shui Gen and his wife hadn't been changed because of him, probably the time of the two of them is almost the same.

Before Situ Yuan was formally canonized as the crown prince by Emperor Longxu, the Prince of Beijing and his wife died in a hunt in the suburbs of Beijing because of frightened horses, leaving behind the son of Prince of Beijing, Shui Rong, who was less than six years old.

Jia Lian in this life understands that this is not an accident.

No matter how Emperor Longxu was an emperor, how could Situ Yuan's little tricks be hidden from him.Therefore, Shui Gen, who is Situ Yuan's brother-in-law and controls half of the military power of the northern border garrison, cannot live.This was a warning to Situ Yuan, and also Emperor Longxu's protection for his other sons.

It's a pity that Emperor Longxu was old after all, and his behavior completely angered Situ Yuan.Afterwards, apart from Situ Rui, all the other sons of Emperor Longxu went to Hades.And Emperor Longxu, who was the overlord, couldn't control Situ Yuan. At that time, he could only rely on Situ Yuan and Situ Yuan, whom he once wanted to completely abandon.

I don't know if Emperor Longxu really can't understand Situ Yuan, who took full control of the power immediately after he came to power, or wants to use another method to help his son clean up these cancers.

Jia Lian didn't know the correct answer, he only knew that the Ronghou Mansion in this life would not be on Emperor Zhaoming's purge list.

It's just that Shui Rong, an obviously precocious kid, how should he take care of him?

Rubbing his forehead, Jia Lian called Feng Jian in the water-melting silence and asked him to arrange a courtyard for the prince of Beijing.At this time, he suddenly realized that it would be impossible without a mistress in the mansion, and everything had to be done by himself as the master.

Although doing this personally is nothing more than explaining everything to the subordinates.

Shui Rong should know something, since he came to Jinling, he has been very obedient and never goes out easily.It wasn't until he bumped into Jia Lian practicing sword in the garden one morning that he had the cheek to come to see Jia Lian practicing sword at this time every day.

Although he was used to all kinds of stares, the corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched after being silently watched by such a paralyzed kid every day. After nearly ten days, he finally felt that he couldn't continue like this.

"My son, what's the matter with you?" Jia Lian, who was wearing a blue training suit after sword practice, walked gently to Shui Rong, knelt down and asked.

"...teach me martial arts." After remaining silent for a while, Shui Rong said to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian said slowly, "Martial arts is very tiring."

"I'm not afraid of being tired!" Shui Rong said eagerly, "Father said you are very powerful, I want to learn from you, so that I can protect father and mother!"

Seeing such water dissolution, Jia Lian suddenly had an idea in his heart.He didn't know whether Shui Rong in his previous life was capable of both civil and military skills, but in this life, Shui Rong was sent to him, and the news from the capital also confirmed that this was Situ Yuan's arrangement, so it's okay for him to have one more apprentice, right?

He has been struggling alone for more than ten years, it should be good to come to someone to share with him.

Raising his hand to touch Shui Rong's head, Jia Lian said softly, "The martial arts I have learned cannot be passed on to the outside world, my son."

"I can worship you as my teacher!" Her big water-melting eyes sparkled.

His words made Jia Lian slightly frowned.After all, Shui Rong is a much-loved son of a prince, and his mother is a royal princess, so his personality is naturally impossible to be as gentle and polite as in his previous life when he grew up.Understanding belongs to understanding, but it is uncomfortable to hear.

"About apprenticeship, son, do you want to communicate with the prince and the princess first?" Jia Lian's gentle smile on the corner of his mouth soothed Shui Rong's dissatisfaction because he didn't immediately agree, "If you want to be my apprentice, you have to learn a lot. It's just martial arts. After your parents agree, let's consider formal apprenticeship."

Feige passed letters very quickly, and Shui Gen and Jia Lian had stayed together in Beijiang for two years, so they still had a good understanding of his abilities.Now that he is willing to accept Shui Rong as his apprentice, as a father, he naturally has no reason to object.The ending of him and the princess has basically been determined, and it would be good to find more support for Shui Rong.

Shui Rong is too precocious, even if Situ Yuan is willing to take care of him when he ascends the throne, he might feel disgusted or even hostile towards Situ Yuan because of their husband and wife's death.Otherwise, they wouldn't have reluctantly sent Shui Rong to Jiangnan instead of sending it directly to the Seventh Prince's residence.

The final result is that Jia Lian has an additional official apprentice who kneels three times and kowtows nine times. Even though this apprentice is dissatisfied with serving tea and water, he still does it.Jia Lian just said "hehe" to this, and a month later, Shui Rong officially became Jia Lian's admirer just like Xue Pan.

Compared with Xue Pan, he is Jia Lian's apprentice and has a closer relationship with Jia Lian, making Shui Rong complacent in front of Xue Pan for a long time.As for this, Jia Lian can only lament that Shui Rong is just a child.

Since Shui Rong is a real child unlike an old man with a child's skin, Jia Lian's lessons for Shui Rong are not as exaggerated as he used to be, but the most basic skills of poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting must be mastered.

Unlike Jia Lian, who was forced by the system to achieve his current achievements after rebirth, Shui Rong is a child who takes the initiative to learn, even if the learning process is hard and tiring, he is willing to do so.Looking at such a watery appearance, Jia Lian finally understood the difference between him and a watery one.It's no wonder that Shui Rong had no parents in his previous life and was able to get along well among the literati in the capital. Presumably he also spent a lot of time studying to have the ability to attract friends like that.

At the beginning of October, news came from the capital that Lin Xi, who participated in the draft, went through five passes and killed six generals, and finally passed three passes to leave a mark, and was designated by Emperor Longxu to the Ninth Prince Situ Rui as the Ninth Prince's Concubine.The wedding date was set one year later, and after receiving the decree, Lin Yiyu went south by boat and returned to the Lin family to be married.

Jia Lian, who had learned the news from Situ Rui a long time ago, was not surprised. He ordered Feng Jian to pack up and prepare to take Shui Rong to Yangzhou.When Lin Daiyu was born in Yangzhou on the Huachao Festival, Jia Lian was still observing his filial piety, so he had to send his servants to send congratulatory gifts.This time he happened to come to congratulate her, and to see her little cousin who is now more than half a year old.

Jia Baoyu's reputation in the capital is not very good now.

Before he was born, his grandfather Jia Daishan died; during his birth, Mrs. Wang was physically injured due to dystocia, and now she is still unable to get out of bed easily after a year; and her grandmother had a stroke on the day of his birth, and she is still unable to speak and move.

All kinds of things made him an unknown existence among the people, and the piece of psychic jade in his mouth also displeased the Jia family.This piece of precious jade actually protected him. When he was in Mrs. Wang's womb, Mrs. Wang took a lot of pills to prevent miscarriage, and she was born with dystocia, but these didn't affect him at all.

He is in good health, and he doesn't even catch a cold easily. He is white and fat, and he is very cute.As long as you don't say it, others will never believe that he suffered so much torture when he was in his mother's womb, let alone believe that he was a child with dystocia.

If it is said that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's feelings for him were only reserved, his bad habits made the couple really give up on him.When I was a baby, I didn't want mothers-in-law, but liked beautiful young maids, and when I caught Zhou, I even grabbed red rouge.

With Jia Zhu, the eldest son who can study, and Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of a mother who is in poor health, the attention Jia Baoyu can get is really limited.No matter how bad he was, it came out of his stomach. Mrs. Wang still had a different attitude towards him than towards Jia Lan.

Even if he occasionally complains in private that he can't even beat her as a mother, he won't turn a blind eye.Although Jia Baoyu is not as favored as he was in his previous life and had a smooth sailing when he was young, he will not be completely reduced to a transparent person like Jia Lan or Jia Huan, so he should be considered happy.

Such Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian will definitely not have entanglements with Lin Daiyu again.Even if Jia Min still dies young in this life, she has a sister who is a princess above her, and Lin Xu will marry a wife at that time, so don't worry about being uneducated.

His eyes scanned Shui Rong's body up and down, and the smile on Jia Lian's lips deepened.

He understands the character of his own apprentice, compared to Jia Baoyu who claims to love and protect flowers, Shui Rong is a better husband-in-law candidate, and his uncle should be satisfied.
