[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 60

It's not that Jia Lian messed up the mandarin ducks.

Lin Ruhai, who has followed Situ Yuan, will never stop at the official position in his life as a third-rank patrol salt censor.When he was still inspecting Yan Yushi, the eldest daughter was pointed out to the Ninth Prince, the future King Zhongshun, so Lin Daiyu's son-in-law, who is Lin Yiyu's younger sister, is definitely not as good as Situ Rui, but not too bad.

Jia Baoyu is just the second son of the sixth-rank officer, not worthy of the third-rank official's second daughter.However, Shui Rong is different, he is the son of the Prince of Beijing, the future King of Beijing.Even if he didn't become an official, he still has a lot more status than Jia Baoyu.

Although Shui Rong is the king of the opposite sex, he still has the identity of Emperor Zhaoming's nephew.What's more, he will not have the disrespectful thoughts of other four kings and eight princes. I dare not say that the future will be smooth and bright, but at least if you marry him, you don't have to worry about ransacking your home and you don't have to worry about being rich.

Jia Lian felt that for a girl like Lin Daiyu, a rich and idle person with the temperament of Shui Rong was the most suitable to have a deep affection with her.Lin Daiyu is very smart and well-informed, and she knows that Rongguo Mansion's financial situation is not very good without having studied housekeeping, but she is more suitable to be a princess who does not need to socialize too much compared to the lady who is all-round and easy-going.

Of course, this is just Jia Lian's own idea. As for whether Lin Daiyu can really get together with Shui Rong in the end, we can only wait and see later.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min welcomed Jia Lian's arrival very much, and the little tuoyouping who followed him was also loved by the couple.Although the expression on Shui Rong's face is a little less, but his appearance is pink and polite, and coupled with his status as the son of Prince Jing, it's strange that the couple don't like him.

Because of his young age, Shui Rong followed Jia Lian to the inner house of Xunyan Yushi's Mansion, and met Lin Daiyu, the second daughter of the Lin family who could sit up and play with a rattle by herself.

Lin Daiyu did not suffer from congenital frailty and often fell ill like in her previous life, and she never took medicine when she could eat.Although Jia Min experienced the ups and downs of moving from Huai'an to Yangzhou when she was pregnant with her, it was not a big problem because the whole way was by water.In addition, Jia Min did not seek medical treatment with Lin Ruhai for pregnancy in this life, and the husband and wife are both in good health. Although Lin Daiyu is the youngest daughter of the two in middle age, she is just an ordinary baby with a little physique It's just a little empty.

"Little cousin is really cute Yuxue, did my uncle give her a scientific name?" Jia Lian teased Lin Daiyu with a smile on her face.I don't know why, but this little girl is just like her brothers and sisters, she is very enthusiastic about this cousin she just met, giggling.

"Your uncle asked her to follow her brother and sister, and the word 'photo'." Jia Min looked at his nephew playing with his little daughter lovingly, and said slightly angrily, "Lian'er, even though your younger sister loves to laugh since she was born, she is not like she is today. Laughing so hard like this. I remember that Xu'er and Xi'er were also very attached to you when they were young."

Jia Lian raised her eyebrows slightly: "This can only mean that everyone loves Lian'er, aunt."

Jia Min smiled and patted him, "Just make me laugh!" Then she turned her head to look at Lin Daiyu, who was sitting upright, and glanced at Lin Daiyu's Shui Rong who was smiling in Jia Lian's arms from time to time, "This official mansion cannot be compared with the palace in the capital. , Your Majesty has been wronged."

Shui Rong hurriedly stood up, and bowed his hands to salute: "Madam is too polite, Shui Rong follows Master for learning, not for pleasure. Moreover, this mansion has small bridges and flowing water, which is quite like the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It is different from the buildings in the capital."

Jia Min's eyes lit up, she covered her mouth and chuckled, glanced at Lin Ruhai, who was sitting on the side drinking tea calmly, and then looked at Xiao Daiyu, who was in Jia Lian's arms, staring curiously at Shui Rong with wide eyes, and followed Jia Lian There is an idea in the same mind.

It's just that the two children are still young now, it's too early to talk about marriage, we still have to wait until later, I just don't know if they have this fate.

Facing Jia Lian's clear peach blossom eyes that see everything, the aunt and nephew smiled in unison.But because Shui Rong is Jia Lian's apprentice, Jia Min decides that she can't tell Lin Ruhai about her thoughts yet.Although he is much more open-minded than ordinary scholars, and he doesn't take too much pedantic ideas, but Jia Min is not very sure about this matter of seniority.

"Your Majesty is really good at talking." Jia Min's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, making the roots of her ears slightly red.Although Jia Min doesn't look like the fifth princess, she is very similar to her mother's gentle aura.

Shui Rong lowered his head slightly: "It's all taught well by Master."

Before studying with Jia Lian, none of the teachers invited back from the palace dared to point out his faults.Coupled with his talent and intelligence, he can learn everything quickly, all he can hear is blind praise.Only Jia Lian, the master, would teach him the principles and methods of being a human being, tell him what the world is like, and make him understand that even if he is the son of the royal family, this identity is not omnipotent.

Shui Rong finally understands why his parents agreed to his apprenticeship, because Jia Lian is really a responsible master.He will protect him like his parents, but he will not blindly protect him so that he cannot see the darkness of this world.During this period of time, he really grew up, although he still didn't quite understand why neither his parents nor his master kept secret about why he was sent to Jiangnan, but he only said that he would understand when he grew up.

In fact, he knew that it would be dangerous for his parents to stay in the capital, and he came to Jiangnan to seek refuge.If he hadn't seen Jia Lian practicing sword, he wouldn't have watched it every day, and even proposed to learn martial arts from him.He wants to protect his parents, so he has been working hard.

Even though, he already vaguely knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't protect his parents.Just because, although his father is a prince and his mother is a princess, above them, there is an emperor who holds the power of life and death!

Jia Lian noticed that Shui Rong's mood was unstable, so he squinted his eyes slightly, then bent down and put the little Daiyu in his arms in front of Shui Rong: "Rong'er, isn't Master's little cousin cute?"

The little baby's dark and bright eyes were full of water-soluble reflections. The innocent eyes and the pink mouth that opened his mouth made the water-soluble eyes gradually soften, and he reached out and touched her face lightly.

Lin Ruhai sat aside and listened to the words of several people and Lin Daiyu's laughter. After drinking the tea in the tea bowl, he gently put down the tea bowl and stroked his beard. Then he asked, "Lian'er, are you going to end up in next year's examination?"

"Yeah." Jia Lian nodded, "Lian'er only hopes to pass it in one fell swoop next year, and then Qiu Wei can directly participate in the capital."

"According to your level, Lian'er, it's not difficult for this boy to take the exam." Lin Ruhai said slowly, "Just getting the title of scholar is just the beginning of the imperial examination, you must not be proud."

"Uncle, don't worry, Lian'er will definitely not be like this." Lin Ruhai taught him like a father and did not make him feel disgusted.On the road of imperial examination, the only one who can help him besides the system is this uncle.Lin Ruhai was always a candidate, and his experience in imperial examinations was exactly what Jia Lian lacked.

This is also the reason why he came to Yangzhou this time.Before, he only asked Lin Ruhai for advice on homework through letters, but the matter of the imperial examination is more troublesome, so it is better to explain it in person.

Jia Jing, a Jinshi of the Jia family, is not of the same clan as him now, and next year Jia Jing's filial piety period will end, then he will directly hand over the title to Jia Zhen, and he will become a monk to become a Taoist priest.Without Jia Daihua's suppression, Jia Jing can finally do what he wants without forcing himself.

Although, his being a Taoist priest is just another disguised escape.Because he could not gain a firm foothold in the court as a civil servant, he simply gave up completely, and the illusory alchemy became the sustenance of his soul.

As for the Zhang family, he is now writing a letter from Jiangnan and returning to the capital to ask for advice. How can it be convenient to come directly to Yangzhou.

"It stands to reason that Lian'er is now a Marquis, and you don't need to take the imperial examination to apply for a position with the Holy One." Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian with a warm look in his eyes. He had a good impression of Jia Lian, at least compared to the one who was introduced by him. Jia Zhuqiang, who went to study as a teacher, "But there is a big difference between civil and military in the court. If you want to gain the respect of those civil officials, you have to rely on the imperial examination to be an official."

"Uncle, don't worry, Lian'er understands." Jia Lian's expression was calm, "Before the clan was divided, the heads of Rongning and Ningfu made a plan to change the two houses, but it's a pity that Ningguo's mansion seemed to be successful. It's a failure... and our Rongfu," he paused at this point, "you also know the temperament of father and second uncle, uncle, so the burden of this is naturally on me and cousin Zhu."

Lin Ruhai was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly, "Lian'er, Zhu'er..." After all, he still didn't continue, but changed the subject abruptly, "In short, you all have to work hard."

His Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and in his generation, he has no relationship with the previous Mrs. Lin's natal family.Now Lin Xu is also single-handed, if he can have a cousin like Jia Lian to watch and help, he doesn't have to worry too much in the future.

What Lin Ruhai didn't say, Jia Min didn't know Jia Lian but understood that at most Jia Min thought her husband didn't like Jia Zhu, but she didn't know that Jia Zhu had no chance of becoming an official because of her father Jia Zheng's name.Perhaps the Jia family is nothing in the capital, but maybe there will be a pedantic censor who will write a letter of advice to the emperor.

"Lian'er knows the heavy responsibility on Lian'er's shoulders, please rest assured uncle." Since Lin Ruhai didn't say it clearly, Jia Lian pretended not to know.

In this way, Jia Lian and Shui Rong lived in Yushi's mansion.Jia Min arranged the two of them in a courtyard, which was originally arranged, but Shui Rong said that it was inconvenient to separate him from Jia Lian's martial arts practice, so they ended up living together.

Lin Yiyu hasn't arrived home yet, one of them is related to Jia Min and Lin Daiyu, and the other is still young, but the etiquette defense is not that serious.In this way, Shui Rong followed Jia Lian to the backyard every day to greet Jia Min and tease Lin Daiyu by the way.

The more Jia Min watched, the more satisfied he was with Shui Rong, and although the relationship between Shui Rong and Lin Daiyu was not as harmonious and loving as Jia Lian and Mei Xiruo were at the beginning, it was also very interesting.After all, Lin Daiyu is still a baby who can't speak. If Shui Rong develops any special feelings for Lin Daiyu at this time, Jia Lian will definitely not accept it.

When he was with Mei Xiruo, he was ridiculed by the system as a child lover. If Shui Rong had feelings for Lin Daiyu at this time, he would be a baby lover.

As for the baby lover, according to the system, it is definitely the case of a pervert with psychological problems!
