[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 84

Jia Lian doesn't care what other people think, but he has to care about the thinness of the people around him.After checking Jia Cang's homework today, he asked the writer and learned that Mei Xiruo took a rest in the flower hall after finishing today's affairs, and walked to the backyard of Rongxi Hall with some small things that he went shopping a few days ago. .

When he reached the second gate, he stopped while holding the pen, and handed the things he was holding to the woman at the gate.Today's Ronghou Mansion has very strict rules, and young servants like Zhibi basically don't have the opportunity to enter the backyard, and those women are responsible for the physical work in the backyard.

Jia Lian is very satisfied with such rules. He has studied a lot of scripts in the system. In the palace compound, the emperor's concubines can give birth to dragon and phoenix twins for the emperor. It is better for him, a small family, to pay attention .Although he believed in Mei Xiruo's way of dealing with people, leaving comments was fiercer than tigers. Real life is not a storybook, and not everyone has the good luck of the protagonist in the storybook.

"Master, why did you come in at this time today?" Mei Xiruo, who was flipping through the ledger, looked at Jia Lian who was walking in in surprise. Jia Lian would not set foot in the backyard at this time of day.Even the two's son, Jia Cang, also moved out of the backyard after going to the Zhang family to study. Normally, she only had time in the morning and evening to see Jia Cang.

After the woman who followed behind put down the things in her hands, Jia Lian signaled the mothers and maids in the flower hall to go out, then came to sit down beside Mei Xiruo, and embraced her affectionately: "The first two I did some shopping outside today, it wasn’t anything good but it was interesting. I happened to have time today, so I brought it in for my wife.”

After Jia Lian and Mei Xiruo returned to Beijing, the name of the Ronghou Mansion was changed.The husband and wife who are the heads of the house are the master and the wife, Jia She and Zhang are the old master and the old lady in the mansion, and Jia Cang is the only third-generation uncle Cang in the mansion.

Putting down the account book and looking at the things on the table, Mei Xiruo picked up a bamboo hairpin and played with it: "These things are not delicate, but they have an indescribable smell."

Holding Mei Xiruo's hand playing with the hairpin, Jia Lian said casually: "These things are just for playing with, to feel the wildness, and it is impossible to really wear them."

Glancing at him charmingly, Mei Xiruo said with a smile: "That's right, the master is Lord Hou, and I am Mrs. Hou Ye, so naturally I can't wear these cheap accessories."

"You're making fun of me again." Stretching out his finger and scraping her pretty bridge of nose, Jia Lian said with a smile, "If you like, you can wear it in the house. Your husband is not one of those pedantic old wives."

Mei Xiruo blinked her eyes, said with a broken smile, "Master, just tell me what's going on today, why do you need to play Tai Chi with me?"

Uncomfortably touching his nose, Jia Lian coughed and said, "Xi Ruo, I know what you are worried about, but for my husband, I hope that I can spend more time at home like this."

Mei Xiruo didn't speak, but looked up at Jia Lian's graceful chin with a puzzled expression.

Smiling at her reassuringly, Jia Lian said slowly, "Even though Uncle Lin and Rong'er have contributed to the second uncle's official position, this is the trend of the times. Your Majesty has long paid attention to the nobles who occupy a lot of court resources. Dissatisfied, now that the world is at peace, His Majesty's hands are free. Although the Ronghou Mansion drew a clear line from the Four Kings and Eight Dukes more than ten years ago, but..."

Mei Xiruo understood the unfinished words behind, she nodded with a serious expression: "Master, do you want to avoid the time when His Majesty purged the court?"

"If possible, this would be the best." Jia Lian smiled wryly, "But I think His Majesty will not let me be free for such a long time."

He was the sharpest knife in Situ Yuan's hand to stab the nobles. Perhaps Situ Yuan would not let him be involved in the initial shock, but after the end, it was strange that he, Rong Guohou, was not made into a typical model.However, as early as when he was reborn, he was already mentally prepared to be regarded as a pawn by Emperor Zhaoming, at least now his pawn was reused by Emperor Zhaoming, and he would not even be disqualified as a pawn like in his previous life.

The emperor's mind is indeed the most difficult to fathom. If he hadn't systematically used Situ Yuan from his previous life to do various analyzes for him, he wouldn't be so sure now.Situ Yuan, the Emperor Zhaoming, wanted to become a Mingjun, and Mingjun naturally cared about his reputation very much.

The nobles of the Daqing Dynasty were all heroes who fought together with Qing Tai/Zu. Now that several generations have passed, even the heroes will not return to the glory of their ancestors, but the emperor who is the descendant of Qing Tai/Zu cannot just go through fire and tear down bridges. of.Situ Yuan wanted to be clear about the moths in the court and also wanted to have a good reputation, so he didn't just use him, Marquis of Rong Guo, as a raft.

In his previous life, the raft in Situ Yuan's hand was water-soluble, but compared to this King of Beijing, Jia Lian, the marquis of Rongguo from Jia's family, carried more weight.After all, Shui Rong has royal blood flowing through her body, while Jia Lian is the real queen of the four kings and eight princes.With Jia Lian around, Situ Yuan can show that it's not that he doesn't give chances to the heroes and nobles, but that they themselves are depraved and unwilling to make progress.

Mei Xi Ruo Liu frowned slightly, her background meant that her foresight was unmatched by ordinary inner house wives.When Jia Lian said this, she still didn't understand.But even so, she still couldn't help feeling anxious. "Husband, how much can you guess about His Majesty's thoughts?"

It is not allowed to speculate on the king's will, but from ancient times to the present, how many courtiers would not do this in private?The courtiers who have been valued by the kings in history, whether they are loyal or treacherous ministers, are the people who are most able to figure out the holy will.

Jia Lian shook his head lightly: "Your Majesty's thoughts, I, as courtiers, can guess at will. What we need to do is to follow His Majesty's orders."

Seeing that he didn't want to go deeper, Mei Xiruo changed the subject in a considerate manner.Even though Jia Lian didn't reveal much in these few short sentences, she understood a little bit about what was going on in the court.Since her husband is not anxious about the delayed appointment, why should she get angry about it.The husband has his own arrangement, what she has to do is to take care of the housework and the backyard for him, and give him a stable rear.

Just when she was relaxed and no longer tense, a nausea suddenly appeared in her chest.After covering her mouth and retching a few times, she looked at Jia Lian with suspicious eyes.As a mother, she naturally knew how to react during pregnancy, and thinking about the little days that were a few days late this month, a warm smile bloomed on her face.

Jia Lian was startled, and grabbed her wrist to feel her pulse carefully.Although the pulse condition is not very obvious, it can already be confirmed that it is Hua pulse.Jia Lian was a little speechless about this, he only stopped exercising during intercourse after chatting with Mei Xiruo last time, even if those few days were the days when Mei Xiruo was easy to conceive, it was too fast, right?

"Master?" Jia Lian remained silent for a long time, making Mei Xiruo feel uneasy.

"Xiruo, you have been pregnant for nearly a month." Jia Lian put away the complicated emotions and said to his wife in a gentle voice, "Recently you have been worrying too much, you need to take good care of your body."

Mei Xiruo's recent weight loss is caused by both worry and pregnancy. Now that she knows she is pregnant, she thinks she will take good care of herself according to her temperament. Speaking of this, Jia Lian can't help but complain a little.

In her previous life, although Wang Xifeng loved Sister Qiao very much, what was more important to her was the authority of the Rongguo Mansion; and in this life, Mei Xiruo did not value power as much as Wang Xifeng, but before Jia Cang, he was Meixi. If the most important thing in his heart, after having Jia Cang, he felt that his status was obviously lower.Now that Mei Xiruo has another one in her belly, his position has to be further back.

But such a strong wife who knows what is most important to him is what Jia Lian needs. He has too many things on his body, which make it impossible for him to indulge in tenderness like Jia Baoyu, so his wife can't be Lin Daiyu is a woman who regards feelings as everything.He didn't have time to be by her side all the time, let alone deal with her romance and sensitivity.

In this life, Lin Daiyu has her parents by her side, and her temper is not as sensitive as in her previous life, but she is still a little naive. In this way, she is destined not to be able to make great achievements in the court, so she is really a good match for her.Jia Lian's black eyes darkened even more when he thought of his cheap apprentice who was talented in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry.

When Lin Xu's child is born and Lin Daiyu successfully gets married with Shui Rong, his guilt towards the Lin family will be completely dissipated, right?Jia Lian laughed secretly, he really didn't expect that he would be such a conscientious person, after being reborn, he would do so much for the Lin family while trying to change his situation.In fact, seriously, he just let Jia Min hug the first child, but just like that, the fate of the Lin family is completely different.

"Husband, are you unhappy?" Mei Xiruo took a full view of Jia Lian's expression, her eyes drooping slightly.

"How could it be?" Jia Lian chuckled, "Cang'er wants to study, it would be good to have another child under Cheng Huan's lap." He put his hand on Mei Xiruo's still flat belly, "I hope this is a daughter like you , Xi Ruo."

The red lips opened and closed a few times, and finally all the smiles were filled in those beautiful black eyes: "If this is a son, master."

"Of course I will love my son, my lord." Jia Lian smiled and showed her gleaming white teeth. "Is it possible that we can't afford to support a son in such a big mansion? It's just that I hope we can have a daughter. Xiruo."

"I don't care about my master's thoughts. But whether the child is a boy or a girl depends on God's arrangement."

Ronghou's mansion was full of joy. As soon as the head mistress announced that she was pregnant, eunuchs came to the palace to pass the decree. Their head, Rong Guohou, rested at home for nearly three months, and the Holy Majesty finally issued an order appointed decree.

Jia Lian was appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of Officials by Situ Yuan, Emperor Zhaoming, and he jumped two ranks directly from the previous inspector Yushi to become a second-rank Beijing official.

He also thought that Situ Yuan wouldn't let him fall into the whirlpool so soon, and ended up with such an appointment.After seeing off the Xuanzhi eunuch, Jia Lian sat alone in the study for two hours.At this point, he had no choice but to move on.

There was no turning back when he opened the bow, since he chose Situ Yuan, he had no way out.
