[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 67

As a son, Jia Lian could only accept his mother's teasing, but unfortunately Zhang couldn't really discover his true thoughts.That's right, except for Jia She, who was also reborn like him, probably no one can understand his complicated emotions now.After attending the wedding, Jia Amnesty took Jia Lian and went to get drunk for a rare occasion, so that Jia Lian had to use internal energy to completely drive out the alcohol in his body the next day before he got on the carriage to the Meridian Gate.

Although his father was somewhat unreliable, he was still reliable at critical moments.Unfortunately, it's just too lazy.If Jia She could be a little more self-motivated, he wouldn't have to bear such a heavy burden for the Rong Mansion alone.

The life of the Hanlin Academy is much calmer than that of the court.The most expensive job of compiling books was not Jia Lian's turn. After sorting out the materials, Jia Lian, who just drafted some documents every day, was so bored that he also took out the pulse records stored here in the Imperial Hospital.It wasn't until one day when he received a letter from Lin Xu that he found a new target.

Lin Xu wrote to ask Jia Lian for help in finding a book.This book was not circulated outside, and it was Lin Ruhai who told his son that he seemed to have seen it in the Imperial Academy, and Lin Xu remembered his cousin who had just served in the Imperial Academy for a short time.

It was Lin Xu's letter that reminded Jia Lian that the military generals of the Rongfu were not short in terms of money, but they were far behind in terms of cultural background.It's not that there are solitary ancient paintings in the warehouse, but there are not many of them.Such things as ancient paintings have to be considered by chance, but orphans are different.

Jia Lian has a system, and the system has all kinds of books.He could check it at any time, but other men in the Rong Mansion did not have this opportunity.Although he is the only scholar in Rongfu now, if Meixi enters the door, he will add a child, and his child will lose at the starting line, which will be bad.

For the development of future generations, Jia Lian finally began to copy books for a long time.Compared to the rooms full of books in the Imperial Academy, just looking at the list in the system already made him dizzy.Thinking of the future of Rong Mansion, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Of course, the first copy Jia Lian copied was the one Lin Xu asked for, so it was a thank you for reminding him.

While copying the books, Jia Lian lamented that it is no wonder that many scholars are reluctant to leave the Imperial Academy.The collection of books in the Imperial Academy is not to say that it should be printed, but it is also extremely rich. It is the wish of many scholars to copy all these books home for collection.Therefore, it is not that there are no scholars who have been staying in the Imperial Academy and are unwilling to move their homes just to copy books.

After getting acquainted with the Imperial Academy and knowing that there are still such a group of people in the Imperial Academy, Jia Lian had to say that he was shocked.The status of scholars in his heart has changed again...

The diversity and complexity of people are really as the system taught him at the beginning. No matter what his identity is, his ideas and how he treats people will change as the environment changes.There are too few people who can stick to their hearts like these scholars.

Just when Jia Lian was silently increasing the collection of books in the Ronghou Mansion, and working hard for the whole mansion's transformation from Wu to Wen, his marriage with Mei Xiruo finally went through the whole process, and the wedding date was set.

As Jia Lian was a marquis and the only son of Jia She and his wife, Zhang's dowry was naturally very considerable.Except for the fact that the wild geese hunted by Jia Lian himself seemed extremely sincere, the entire betrothal gift plus the silver at the bottom of the box was worth about 3 taels of silver.

In fact, Mrs. Zhang wanted to offer more betrothal gifts. Since the official separation of the family, Jia Lian came up with a lot of money-making ideas.Now that three years have passed, the Ronghou Mansion cannot be said to be as rich as an enemy, but its financial resources can be regarded as one of the best in the capital.It's just that Cheng'en Gong's mansion was originally from farming and studying, and the accumulated wealth of the family through several generations is also limited.

When Empress Mei married Emperor Longxu as his side concubine, Mei Yi and Mrs. Mei cruelly gave her a small half of the family's property as a dowry.Now if Meixi gets married, the Mei family also wants to prepare more dowry for her, but Mei Yi has been away from the court for many years, and every year he only accepts so much of Engong’s salary, and the family’s Zhuangzi’s shop has only so much output over the years, it’s hard for a clever woman Cooking without rice, if you want to save face for Meixi, you have to consider the reality.

Therefore, before the Rong Mansion formally hired her, Mrs. Mei found an opportunity to communicate with Mrs. Zhang, and then officially decided on the current betrothal gift.

Although it is a bit regrettable, Mrs. Zhang also understands very well, she is also from a scholarly family, so she naturally knows that such a family does not value yellow and white things so much.It's not that such a family is poor, but compared to honorable gold, silver and jade wares, orphan calligraphy and paintings are the family heirlooms of these families.

Mrs. Zhang remembered very clearly that compared to Mrs. Wang's dowry like that of a nouveau riche, her dowry made Jia Shishi secretly laugh at it for a long time.If it weren't for Jia She, who knew a little about gold and stone, and understood the value of these things, the relationship between their husband and wife would have been even worse.

In any case, Jia Lian and Mei Xiruo's wedding date was set, which made both families heave a sigh of relief.Jia Lian is a promising young man with a clean backyard, so he is the best candidate for a lady in the capital to choose a husband; and if Meixi is Situ Yuan's cousin, Situ Yuan treats this cousin very well, plus he has the halo of an invisible prince If it weren't for the news of the marriage contract between Mei Xiruo and Jia Lian a few years ago, there would probably be an endless stream of people asking for marriage.

Another year passed, Jia Lian hadn't been in the capital in the past few years, so it was impossible for him to attend the banquet held in the palace, and this year he couldn't avoid it.Jia Lian's official position is only the sixth rank but a super rank Marquis, so he is naturally qualified to sit in the Qianqing Palace.Compared with those who can only sit at a table for three people outside the Qianqing Palace, he can enjoy a table by himself with a carbon basin around him, which makes people sigh the importance of status.

Only the third-rank and above Beijing officials are eligible to participate in this banquet. There are more than 300 people in total, but less than 100 people can sit in the Qianqing Palace.In the twelfth lunar month of winter, he had to sit in the cold wind and eat vegetables that were all solidified oil, and he had to be proud of it, which made Jia Lian sigh.

And he is also one of these people.

The first Chinese New Year in the Ronghou Mansion was extremely rich, not to mention that the whole mansion was replaced with red lanterns, and the dishes were also extremely rich.Although there is always chicken, duck and fish, everyone in Rongfu who has been vegetarian for three years during the Chinese New Year is still smiling.

Only this year has the atmosphere of Chinese New Year. In previous years, no matter how many dishes were placed on the table, there were only vegetarian dishes.

Although Jia Lian has not yet been crowned, he is already the master of the Ronghou Mansion and has become an official, so he not only has no red envelopes, but also has to give them to Jia Cheng.In the end, under his aggrieved muttering, Mrs. Zhang still wrapped a big red envelope for him.

During the Lantern Festival, Jia Lian did not enjoy the lanterns with his family, but made an appointment with Mei Xiruo early on to enjoy the world of two.Whoever said that except for this day, only young women can go out of the house on the third day of March. Jia Lian can't let go of this opportunity.The two will become husband and wife in the second half of the year. It is rare to be alone before marriage, but it is worth remembering for the couple for a lifetime.

Speaking of being alone, Jia Lian's servants and long followers are unavoidable, and Mei Xiruo is accompanied by a nanny and several maidservants while wearing a gauze hat.But being able to walk side by side with Jia Lian on the street like this is already very happy for Mei Xiruo.

Because of Mei Xiruo's shining eyes, Jia Lian answered fifteen lantern riddles and won her a unique plum blossom palace lantern.When Jia Lian handed the palace lantern to her with a smile, she felt that the gauze hat was about to be unable to cover the temperature on her face, and her rapid heartbeat couldn't be slowed down.Even if she is not vain, the envious eyes of those around her can't help but make her feel elated.

Such an excellent young man as Jia Lian is her future husband, and he cares and loves her so much, as long as she is a woman, she cannot help being tempted.

"Are you tired from walking? I reserved a private room at the Wenguang Building, let's go and sit there." With Jia Lian's skill, Mei Xiruo's violent heartbeat couldn't escape his ears, but he also understood her reservedness. , so it is recommended to simply ignore it.

Mei Xiruo nodded slightly, and left here in harmony with Jia Lian.It wasn't until the group of people walked away that Jia Zhu walked out of the crowd with a complicated expression.Wang Xifeng looked up at him secretly, and then thought about Jia Lian's elegant and handsome appearance, and couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

Although she was very reluctant, she had to admit that Jia Zhu was indeed inferior to his cousin who was a marquis.But after marrying, since she is already Jia Zhu's wife, she has to think about him in everything.With her status, it's not easy to discuss marriage. Jia Zhu's background is not very good, but as long as he is willing to make progress, it will be fine.

After three months of marrying into Jia's mansion, the relationship between Jia Zhu and her is getting better and better. Otherwise, he would not have accompanied her, his wife, to go out to enjoy the lanterns today.It's just that the look on Wang Xifeng's face turned cold when he thought of Fei Ming's grievance-like look before going out.

That slut was a housewife bestowed by Jia Shishi, but privately gave her a lot of eye drops in front of Jia Zhu. If she hadn't handled it properly, wouldn't the relationship between her and Jia Zhu be alienated? .Although her mother-in-law and aunt Mrs. Wang doesn't like Fei Ming, she can't be too partial to her, so she is the only one who can find a way to deal with it.

Wang Xifeng believed that since she could completely dispel Jia Zhu's plan to raise Fei Ming as an aunt in the first month of their marriage, it would not be difficult to completely drive Fei Ming out of Jia Zhu's backyard.As for whether Mrs. Wang would arrange for a woman to come in after kicking out the room arranged by Jia Shishi, Wang Xifeng didn't care for the time being.

Anyway, her good aunt had promised long ago that she would not release anyone from Jia Zhu's room until she gave birth to her son.So as long as Jia Shishi can't point out Jia Zhu, will Wang Xifeng, who has taken over the housekeeping of Jia's house from Mrs. Wang, give Jia Shishi a chance to get better?

Years ago, Jia's mansion invited another imperial physician, and Jia Shishi, who was able to sit up and say a few words, lay down again because of eating problems.It's not that everyone in Jia's mansion didn't do enough to take care of her, but that this one was clamoring to eat this and that when she was a little better.

In the past few years of observing filial piety and recovering from illness, Jia Shishi ate very lightly. After eating a few extra meals of this big fish, big meat and heavy oil, her appetite was satisfied, and her body was completely stretched.

Jia Zheng was very dissatisfied with this, but he could only let it go under the crying of his new daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng.The old lady is greedy, and she can't be persuaded by a junior, either to make the old lady angry, or to satisfy the old lady...

He gave Emperor Longxu a job as soon as Ding You finished, but his official position has not yet been determined.At a time when Wang Ziteng was still in need of help, he couldn't do anything to his new wife.
