Youwei, the heir of the Red Chamber

Chapter 15

There is still more than a month before the palace examination, but Jia Lian is not in a hurry, taking advantage of this time, he will sort out the affairs of the house.

Now besides himself and Xiao Yingchun, Jia She has another eight-year-old son, Jia Cong, born of a concubine.Jia Lian is well aware of the principle that a wealthy family is all prosperous, so he will not abandon the education of his younger brothers and sisters.On weekdays, in addition to letting Mrs. Xing take care of her, she personally chose a famous teacher to teach at home, and often read the homework, but most of the children's playful nature was suppressed, and they started to read books in a proper manner.

But Jia Lian's clean life didn't last long. After a few days, the old lady of Rongshou Hall came to invite someone in the yard.

This old lady has always been a special messenger in the Rongshou Hall. When she walks out of the Rongshou Hall on weekdays, she is also the one who speaks among the servants of the mansion. However, after this period of rectification, she has become much more honest. Goodbye Seeing Jia Lian's expression of indifference, his heart improved a bit, stood at the door, rubbed his hands coyly, and said, "Second Master Lian, the old lady invites you to come over." After thinking about it, he felt stiff again, and added: "The eldest lady is over there too."

Is the Xing family over there too?

Jia Lian put down the chess pieces in his hand, stood up, and smoothed his cuffs, "What's the matter?"

The old lady hurriedly said: "It's Miss Feng from the second wife's inner family who came."

Jia Lian raised his handsome eyebrows.There is absolutely no rule for men to receive female relatives. It seems that it is absolutely right not to put Yingchun there. "You went back to the old lady and said that my imperial examination is coming soon, so you won't pass."

"This..." The old lady's fleshy face was wrinkled into a ball, and the hem of her blue and white gown was wrinkled from rubbing. "The old lady said that it's very easy for the girl to come here once. It's good for the two to meet each other. Besides, they are all going to get married, and there are not so many rules."

marriage?Jia Lian heard the point of the words.Only then did he recall that this original body had a fiancée from the Wang family.

It's just that even unmarried couples have no reason to meet before marriage!

Jia Lian turned around and continued to sit on the soft couch. While reading a book, he began to study the chess game.Hei Mou looked at the book seriously, and ordered without turning his head: "Just say that I am reading a book, I can't get distracted, I can only be 'disrespectful'."

When the old lady heard this, she said anxiously: "The old lady is still waiting--" Before she could finish speaking, she was frightened by Jia Lian's cold eyes and stopped, so she had to change her words: "Young servant, go and answer." Scratching his feet, he dragged his fat body and ran to Rongshou Hall.

In Rongshou Hall, at this moment, Mother Jia is happily nibbling melon seeds, listening to the young girl telling jokes.

"Old ancestor, do you know what the old man said? He said,

"Hahahaha... you, Sister Feng, are really smart...hehehe." Jiamu praised while smiling.

Wang Xifeng laughed heartily, and continued: "I also heard this from other places. There are often distant relatives in the house. When we meet on weekdays, we can always talk about something new."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "It's really fresh. I like to be lively in this room every day."

Wang Xifeng took the peeled melon seeds and put them in Jia Mu's hand, and said with a smile: "If the ancestor likes it, I will tell you often in the future."

Mother Jia smiled and nodded, looked at Wang Xifeng carefully, and liked her more and more, she said to Madam Wang: "Your niece looks very good, and your temperament is also very good, your natal family is really good."

Wang Xifeng's red face immediately burst into a smile, "My ancestors don't know, but now, all the old people in the house, who have met my aunt, all praise me. I just say that I am only three points as good as my aunt."

"Hehehe, your mouth—"

Mrs. Wang also covered her handkerchief and said with a smile: "This niece is spoiled by my brother, and she speaks freely."

Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "Aunt, I don't want people to tell the truth." Then she said to Jia Mu, "Old ancestor, you have to decide for me."

"Hahaha..." Mother Jia laughed out loud at Wang Xifeng's mouth, and said repeatedly: "The master, the master..."

Mrs. Xing sat dryly at the side, unable to intervene, her face showing embarrassment.

While several people were chatting and laughing, the old lady who reported the letter came in through the light yellow curtain.Arched waist, unable to see clearly.

Seeing this, Jia's mother said, "Why, Lian'er is outside? Let him in quickly."

The old lady hurriedly replied: "Back to the old ancestors, the second master Lian said that the palace examination is coming soon, and he has to hurry to study, so I won't come to see you today."

When Jia Mu heard the words, her face darkened, and she scolded: "Where is it? If there are guests coming, there is no reason not to accompany you. It's okay if you don't read this book for a day. Hurry up and pass on my words, let them Come here quickly."

"This..." The old lady's face showed embarrassment, and she rubbed her hands in the sleeves in the cage uneasily.

"Don't go soon!"

Due to the majesty of Jia's mother, the old lady ran out again.

Mother Jia snorted coldly at Mrs. Xing, who was smiling awkwardly at the side, and said, "If you can't give birth to a son, why don't you know how to discipline him?"

Mrs. Xing felt wronged for a while.He said in his heart, "You old lady can't take care of it, and I expect someone else to take care of it." But with a smile on his mouth, "Don't worry, old ancestor, this child has a lot of studies these days. It is inevitable that he will be irritable. When the daughter-in-law goes back, Haosheng talk to the master, let Haosheng discipline."

Just as Jia's mother was about to speak, an old man in a gray gown came outside, who was Mrs. Xing's right-hand man, called Mrs. Liu.As soon as this member of the Liu family entered the door and saw Mrs. Xing, his expression relaxed, and he greeted everyone one by one.

Mrs. Xing said: "What are you doing here?"

Mrs. Liu replied: "Returning to the eldest lady, the previous buyer came and said that he wanted you to see it for yourself, madam."

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard the words, there was a shock in their hearts.

Mrs. Xing said to Jia Mu: "There is something going on ahead, so the daughter-in-law will come back later, and this will pass first."

Mother Jia cast a sideways glance, and said a cold "hmm".

Seeing Mrs. Xing standing up, everyone Liu hurriedly walked ahead, lifting the curtain.

After the master and servant went out, Mother Jia's face became even colder, and she said, "One or two are so impolite!"

A strange look flashed in Wang Xifeng's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant. With a smile on his face, he said, "Old Ancestor, calm down. It's good that Second Master Lian is so motivated. He will also win honor for the family in the future."

When Jia Mu heard this, her face became even, she wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said, "You don't know, now that the family is so honored, there is no need for them to fight for those things. There is no one in sight all day long." , That's all, it's rare for you to come, how can you not let him come to see you. You just wait, I will always let you see one time today. "

Wang Xifeng blushed and nodded.

The three of them talked for a while, and then saw the old woman come in with the curtain lifted.The face is more anxious.

The old lady had just entered the house, so she knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed a few times, and replied: "Go back to the ancestors, just went to the Rongxi Hall, and the servants there said that the second master Lian has left the mansion..."

Jia's mother was startled and said: "This impolite boy!" As soon as she finished scolding, she covered her heart and said, "I'm so angry..."

"Old ancestor, take care of yourself." Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng surrounded her, trying to comfort her again.

At this time, Jia Lian was sitting leisurely in the carriage, looking out at the worldly people through the window.

Thinking of these messy little things in Jia's house, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.

No matter how brave Duke Rong was back then, his way of choosing a wife and his ability to run a family were extremely poor.He actually let his two heirs live under the woman, so that one is content with pleasure and the other has no interest in official career.In addition, he failed to discipline the children of the clan well, so that he developed a disposition of extravagance and lust, and had nothing to do to give birth. If things go on like this, he will surely fail!

"Second Master, where are you going?" Liu'er asked while driving the car outside.

"Go to the scholar's mansion."

Naturally, Jia Lian didn't go out to avoid Wang Xifeng.As the palace examination approached, Jia Lian finally decided to visit his grandfather.Lin Ruhai praised him a lot before, and had people inquire about this person's style in private. This person is indeed a good teacher and helpful friend.I am a fledgling and my foundation is not stable. With the help of this person, I will naturally be more secure in the future.

Liu'er was stunned for a moment, unable to regain his senses, after turning his head a few times, he finally understood, and immediately whipped the horse, and the carriage rumbled forward.
