[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 89

"Mei Hanlin?" Mei Xiruo put down the needle and thread in her hand, looked up at Jia Lian, "Why did you suddenly think of asking about his family?"

"I heard my wife say something a few days ago." Jia Lian smiled, playing with the half-embroidered purse that Mei Xiruo had just put down.

Mei Xiruo squinted at him and reached out to snatch back the purse: "This needle is still on it, so I'm not afraid of being pricked." While tidying up the sewing basket slowly, she said slowly, "A few days ago, my natal mother and sister-in-law came to visit me. By the way, let’s talk about the Mei family. I don’t know where the Mei family found the relationship with their natal sister-in-law, but after meeting their grandfather, it became clear that they wanted to connect with the Mei family.”

"I think it's because my grandfather never agreed." Jia Lian's eyes drooped slightly.

"It's natural." Mei Xiruo packed up the sewing basket and took a sip of the warm tea beside her, "Grandfather attaches great importance to the reputation of the Mei family, although the Mei Hanlin family has never exploded since they came to the capital. If something bad happens, but just trying to get along with the Mei family, my grandfather doesn't like it."

Mei Yi is a noble person at heart, there was no way for her daughter to marry into the royal family, and when she married Mei Xiruo, she was merciless towards Jia Lian's school entrance examination.This is true for the grandson-in-law, and even more so for the clan.

"So, the Mei family's evaluation is not bad?" Although Jia Lian worked in the Imperial Academy in the early years, but the time was short after all, and now it has been several years, so naturally he has no connection with the Imperial Academy.Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he is not able to intervene in the selection of the officials of the Imperial Academy.

"Master, are you following their house?" Mei Xiruo looked at Jia Lian strangely.She also knew about Jia Lian's friendship, so she shouldn't have anything to do with the Mei family anyway.

"A letter came from Jinling, saying that Mei Hanlin was supported by Xue Xun's younger brother when he was not yet famous, and he couldn't repay him, so he let his second son marry Xue Xun's baby niece." Jia Lian didn't like it. Said without hesitation.

Although the Xue family's influence on him is not as great as before, they can be regarded as his people no matter what.If you don't like the Xue family, you naturally don't like him.In his previous life, Xue Ouyi also lived in Rongguo Mansion for a period of time. In the end, he didn't know whether Xue Baoqin married into the Mei family or not, but judging from the current situation, it is estimated that he is not too optimistic.

Mei Hanlin's actions are not bad to say that they are ungrateful. Although many scholars act like this, they will cover it up no matter what.Mei Hanlin is not shameless, otherwise he would not be gradually alienated from the Xue family.Second Aunt Xue wanted to carry on Second Uncle Xue's last wish, so she wanted to carry the marriage through to the end.

It's a pity that Uncle Xue is no longer here. If he were, he might not be obsessed with marriage anymore.

"Now this Mei Hanlin wants to regret the marriage, but the Xue family doesn't want to give up?" Mei Xiruo said after thinking for a moment.

"Xue Xun doesn't want to marry the Mei family, but his siblings have the right idea."

"The idea is right? Is it stubborn?" Mei Xiruo looked cold, "As a mother, I don't think much about my daughter, but only think about the marriage contract that was made when I was still a baby. So if you say you can't get on the stage, you can't get on the stage. Big families don't make baby kisses for their own children."

Whether a child can stand still is unknown, and parents who engage young children at will are irresponsible.Who knows if there will be any accidents with the betrothed object, if there is, the impact on the child's reputation cannot be easily recovered.

Mei Xiruo's shock and anger made Jia Lian smile. What he loves and cherishes the most is her sincerity towards her and the children.It's not that Wang Xifeng didn't have sincerity in her previous life, it's just that her sincerity was more focused on power. It was his playfulness and lack of motivation that made him like this, and it was also because of her own personality.

Now that he has Mei Xiruo, Wang Xifeng and Jia Zhu are doing well.Live a better life than your last life, that's fine.

"What are you going to do with this matter?" Mei Xiruo's eyes were burning.

"This is a matter of the Xue family, Xi Ruo." The old God Jia Lian was there, "What I have to do is to give Xue Xun the information about the Mei family. If even such a housewife can't do anything, he The former Patriarch of the Xue family will not live until now."

So Xue Xun, who knows how to judge the situation, will not know the plan of the Mei family?It's just thinking that Xue Baoqin's marriage to Mei Hanlin can pave the way for Xue Pan. If he can't raise a domineering person like Xue Pan, he will write to him to ask for advice?

Jia Lian is Xue Xun's master, but he doesn't clean up the mess for him.

Jia Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, he has been too kind for so many years, which made Xue Xun a little forgetful, even he dared to calculate at will.And what Xue Xun did without telling him, do you really think he doesn't know anything about it?It's just that he pretends not to know.

It's really just like what the system said, there is nothing permanent in this world except interests.

Xue Xun, who was far away in Jinling, received a letter from the capital not long after. Seeing that there was only news about the Mei family in the letter and no other news, he felt nervous.It seems that Lord Rong is somewhat dissatisfied with him, but he doesn't know where he is dissatisfied.

Xue Xun's face became even more ugly when he thought of cooperating with Wang Ziteng to dump a lot of wood, stones and antiques from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital.Originally, the Xue family and the Wang family had been estranged from the previous silver incident, but the news and business opportunities offered by the prince really made him unable to let it go easily.

When Xue Xun was thinking about how to regain Jia Lian's trust, the next incident let him know that he completely lost the protection of Marquis Rong Guo just for that little money.

After being separated from the other households of the Xue family and losing their job as an imperial merchant in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, most of the products sold in the shop under the name of the Xue family came from Jia Lian, and those products could not be obtained anywhere else.Although the Xue family's profit from consignment sales is small, it is more than when they were in the imperial business before.

But Jia Lian stopped supplying goods at this time, and there was an extra treasure house from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River!

"Father, the shopkeeper of Shannonfang is here to urge again, asking when the batch of perfume ordered by Madam Zhifu will arrive, and there is also Qiannong Embroidery..." Xue Baochai trotted in sweaty, and his face paled when he saw the desk. After the ugly Xue Xun, I can't say the following words.

Xue Xun smiled wryly, and waved at his daughter who was always doting on him: "Let all the shopkeepers go back, those who have ordered things, come to apologize one by one with gifts, and say... those things are not up to us now." Xue's shop is sold."

"Father..." Xue Baochai's red lips parted to speak, but under Xue Xun's gaze, the words in his mouth changed into, "I see."

Close the study door intimately, Xue Baochai who had just walked out of the yard saw the worried Xue Wangshi.Her footsteps stopped and her eyes flickered slightly, but she still went up to meet her: "Why is Mom here?"

"My son, how is your father? Is there a solution?" Wang Xue asked eagerly.

Xue Baochai looked at her with complicated eyes for a long time, and finally shook her head: "Father and shopkeepers prepared gifts and came to apologize one by one, explaining that those products will not be provided by our Xue family in the future."

"What, is Marquis Rongguo really so cruel?" Xue Wang's voice was more than an octave higher, "If it weren't for our Xue family's hard work for so many years, he would have so much money? Now it is crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Our Xue family has no credit for it." There is also hard work, if we say that our Xue family is not allowed to sell it, how can we live! Your father is too talkative, as long as you reveal that Rong Guohou went to our Xue family's way to do business... "

"Mom!" Xue Baochai interrupted Xue Wang's words loudly, looked around and found no one, and then she was relieved, and said sharply to Xue Wang, "What is the identity of Lord Hou and what is the identity of our Xue family! Lord Hou He is the confidant of the saint, even if the business affairs are leaked, it is nothing, at most, he will be punished, what about our Xue family?"

Xue Baochai didn't want to talk about the rest, she had no idea what kind of temperament Xue Wang was after all these years: "Mom, what can be said and what can't be said, you'd better think about it."

After speaking, she left quickly.Xue Pan is studying hard, preparing for Chun Wei a few months later, even if he fails this time, it can be regarded as an experience.Xue Ou and Xue Baoqin are not in the same room as them, and now she is the only one who can help Xue Xun.

Also, wasn't Xue Wang's fault this time? If she hadn't urged Xue Xun to cooperate with Wang Ziteng, how could Rong Guohou not show any affection.At the beginning, she told Xue Xun that it must have a deep meaning for Rong Guohou not to participate in such an easy money making matter, but Xue Xun was fascinated by money at that time!

It took some time to completely disown the relationship with the Xue family, and another year came and went.In June, Mei Xiruo gave birth to a white and fat baby girl, which Jia Lian couldn't put down, so she named her "Lei" when she crossed the full moon of Jia She.

It's just that Jia Lian is usually busy with official duties, and Mei Xiruo also has family affairs to take care of, so Jia Lei was carried to Zhang and Jia She's yard during the day, and stayed with her parents at night.Jia Lian and his wife are different from other aristocratic couples. When the children were young, they always put them in front of their eyes before being at ease.

When Jia Cang was in Yangzhou, he moved out of the main house of the couple after he was three years old, and now Jia Leizi is the same.

At night, the husband and wife were woken up again by Jia Lei. Seeing Mei Xiruo expertly hugging and breastfeeding her daughter, Jia Lian's peach blossom eyes were particularly bright under the candlelight due to the moisture.When I was in Yangzhou, firstly, it was because of safety issues, and secondly, I knew from the system that breastfeeding is better for children. Jia Cang was breastfed by Mei Xiruo himself.

It was okay when I was in Yangzhou, the whole house was decided by their husband and wife, and the people below did not dare to object.But now, in order to allow Jia Lei to have a mouthful of breast milk, the couple have tried a lot of ways to find a nanny who can hide the truth from Zhang.That's it, Jia Lei is not as good as Jia Cang, she can only eat the nurse's milk when she is at Zhang's during the day.

Looking at the light blue in Mei Xiruo's eyes, Jia Lian said distressedly: "Sister Lei will have supplementary food in three months, and I have already ordered Zhuangzi to bring a milk-producing sheep and a cow. You don't have to work so hard."

They have to be a housekeeper during the day, and take care of their daughter at night, and the husband and wife don't want to have a girl and woman watching the night, so they can only take care of themselves.Besides, this kind of tiredness is also sweet, which is not the case with family happiness.
