The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 103 Alert
Zhao Sheng was deliberately stayed at home by Jia Lian to monitor Jia Zhen. Of course, there were also situations in Jia's pardon.

If the matter was urgent, Jia Lian even taught Zhao Sheng how to send him a letter.

After listening to Zhao Sheng's report on the family situation in the past year, Jia Lian frowned.

Sure enough, Jia Zhen is still stubborn...

It seems that it is time to start preparing some back tricks in case of a rainy day.

"Little man, I have seen Second Master..."

After letting Zhao Sheng go down, Jia Lian recruited Sun Zairen.

After he greeted him, he smiled and asked, "How is your restaurant doing?"

"Thanks to the second master, according to the second master's instructions, the villain has opened a small restaurant in Juxianfang, Xicheng. The name is also called Juxian Tower according to the second master's instructions. There are three floors up and down. The third floor is private rooms, but not many, only a few.

Now the business is not bad, because the second master said, there is no need to shy away from the relationship between the villain and the second master, and there is no Xiao Xiaoxiao who comes to bother.If things go on like this, it is estimated that within two years, the villain will be able to earn back all the capital invested by Second Master..."

Seeing that Sun Zairen looked happy, as if he had won his life's work, Jia Lian also smiled and said, "It's very good.

But I have also said that I do not open a restaurant just to make money, but more to give you an identity so that you can do things for me.Since the business of the restaurant is still good, you don't need to report it to me one by one. I trust you, and you can handle the specific management matters yourself.

Now, I want to tell you something... Do you know about Sun Jiarong, the eldest son of our East Mansion? "

When Sun Zairen heard it, he immediately laughed: "The villain just happens to know that he is a regular customer of the restaurant. It's because I heard that the second master of Juxianlou is the proprietor, so he brought the children of your house with him when he was free. Come over for a drink.

The villain sees that they are the second master's nephew and nephew, and there are often discounts, so they always like to come.

In addition to Uncle Xiaorong, there is also Uncle Xue, who is also a relative of your mansion. Tsk tsk, this gentleman is very generous every time he comes to make a deal. Please join us and take care of our family's business..."

It is common for the children of the Jia family, up to the patriarch Jia Zhenqi, to invite prostitutes, gamble and drink together.

Especially after Xue Pan came to Rongguo, because everyone knew that the Xue family was rich, and the children of the Jia family, including Jia Rong, were very courteous, so that they could cheat him of his money for whoring and gambling.

Xue Pan is also a straightforward person. He has only been in Jia's mansion for a few months, and he has become one with all the children of Jia's mansion.

However, Prince Teng was not in Beijing, and Jia Zheng didn't care about him, so after Mr. Xue arrived in the capital, he was hooked by the children of Jia's family, and it became ten times worse than when he was in Jinling City.

One of the original intentions of poor Aunt Xue when she first came to Beijing was to let Xue Pan restrain his temper under the constraints of his uncle, aunt and others. How did he know that this would be the result...

"Idiot Xue?"

Jia Lian smiled, he didn't expect this guy to take care of his business before meeting him.

It's not surprising that Juxianlou sells all kinds of Jiangnan wine, and it's not far from Ningrong Street. Where do they go for a drink?

He didn't pay too much attention, and only said to Sun Zairen: "Since you already know someone, it's easy to handle. If they go to drink again in the future, you should find a way to establish a good relationship with them, and it's best to let them introduce you as a confidant." Hand it over, especially this Jia Rong."

Although Sun Zairen didn't know Jia Lian's purpose, he didn't ask much, nodded and smiled: "It's not difficult, although the villain's status is low, but all the young masters know that the villain belongs to the second master, so treat the villain well." You're welcome.

They are also young people, good at drinking and sex, and showing off their loyalty. As long as the villain is trying to please them, and dare not say anything else, it will definitely not be difficult to build a good relationship. "

"So good."

After sorting out the foreign affairs, he went to see Aqi and Aqin's two daughters again, and left after feeling that there was nothing missing in Ping'er's arrangement.

After dinner, he took Wang Xifeng to serve soup and medicine for Jia Amnesty, and returned after completing the formalities.

Jia Lian sat on the kang and washed his feet. Taking advantage of the presence of Ping'er, Qingwen and Xiangling, Jia Lian called them to him and told him, "From now on, we should try not to eat and drink with your second grandma. Let the people in the kitchen arrange for someone to deliver it. The three of you take turns, and when it’s time, take someone to the kitchen to pick it up.”

The three of Ping'er didn't feel anything after hearing it, but it should be so, but Wang Xifeng laughed casually after hearing it: "Baba told them what to do, are you still afraid that someone will poison us?"

Wang Xifeng was joking, but after she said it, seeing Jia Lian remained silent, she said in amazement, "Are you really worried about this?"

Wang Xifeng never thought that Jia Lian really meant this?Poison them in the Duke's Mansion?Who can do it?Who has the guts? ?
Jia Lian glanced at her and said: "You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. When the old man is dying, there is nothing wrong with being careful."

Wang Xifeng was silent. For the sake of the housekeeper, she fought with the servants all day long, but it was all trivial matters, and she never thought of involving life and death.

"Aren't you worrying too much, who can harm us, and who dares to harm us after eating bear's heart and leopard?"

"If I die, who may benefit, who may harm us."

Jia Lian said calmly, his words also made Ping'er and the others shudder. Obviously, none of them had thought about this issue, and at this time Jia Lian's words couldn't help shaking their hearts.

"It's just because of a title? As for... There are so many mansions in Beijing, and it's not just our family that has titles. They are all inherited by whoever should inherit it. I've never heard of people fighting to death for this..."

Jia Lian was quite surprised when such words came from Wang Xifeng's mouth.

But if you think about it carefully, it is in line with Wang Xifeng's character and knowledge.

If she was really a visionary woman, she wouldn't have ended up like that in the original book.

Unable to see clearly the fundamental contradiction that is directly related to his own interests, he blindly flattered Mrs. Wang, but on the contrary offended the serious mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing.

Maybe she thought it was natural to be close to her aunt and do things for her, thinking that her aunt would treat her well and not abandon her...

It's a pity that Mrs. Wang is really just using her after all.

After all, Sister Feng missed her by not studying, and she will not learn from history.Her cognition and knowledge of the world come from the current world.

As everyone knows, the real world is often shrouded in fog.Sister Feng is the one who is fascinated by the illusion of harmony of the rich and prosperous family.

In order to attract Wang Xifeng's attention, Jia Lian had no choice but to look at her, and said solemnly: "First of all, just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't mean there is no such thing.

Because those who died in the struggle for family interests, in the struggle for title inheritance, will not climb out of the coffin and tell you about it. "

Wang Xifeng was shocked when he heard it.

She's not unintelligent, she just doesn't want to believe such a horrible thing that she hasn't seen or heard.

Now being reminded by Jia Lian, she was startled to realize the horror of this kind of struggle involving huge interests.

She even suddenly thought of her father...

It seems that before grandpa was about to pass away, he got sick and died!
She didn't dare to think about the reason, because she felt that it was too scary.

In the world, is there anyone you can trust?

Seeing that Sister Feng's complexion was a little pale, Jia Lian was afraid that he had overcorrected and that Sister Feng would fall into persecution paranoia, and she was in a state of anxiety all day long.

So he softened his tone: "But don't worry too much, indeed, as you said, there are not many people who dare to harm us in this world.

I am reminding you, just in the spirit of carefully sailing for ten thousand years, and let you pay more attention before I successfully inherit the title.

Even if I'm overthinking, it won't hurt us if we are too careful. Do you understand this truth? "

Wang Xifeng and the others didn't speak, but Qingwen nodded her head again and again. She opened her beautiful big eyes and said, "I understand what the second master said. I heard it said in the storybook that this is called 'fraternal killing' !"

Jia Lian raised her eyebrows and looked at Qingwen in surprise.

Originally thought that Qingwen's knowledge could only be seen from the stage, but in all the plays, she dared not act in such a big drama of family struggle and brother-in-law.Because this might offend the royal family, and it might offend the giants!
Who knew that this girl had hidden a trick, she could also listen to storybooks?I don't know where I heard it, but I still remember it in my heart.

Only to hear Qingwen frowned again, pointing her finger and said: "But, the second master's brother is only the third master Cong, he is still so young, how can he fight with the second master..."

Wang Xifeng was dissatisfied with Qingwen's blind behavior, and scolded: "You little girl, what do you know about movies, go away."

Then Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian and asked, "Is it because of Cong'er?"

Of course Wang Xifeng did not forget that Jia Amnesty deliberately said that he would pass on the title to Jia Cong and Jia Huan in order to anger Jia Mu that day.It's a pity that such words did not cause too much trouble in the two prefectures. Everyone only said that the old man was ill and confused, so she didn't care.

Thinking about it now, if something really happened to Jia Lian, the title might really fall to Jia Cong!
Jia Lian smiled, neither admitted nor denied, just followed her words and asked: "Cong'er has been brought up to the eldest wife's knee, haven't you heard about it?"

Wang Xifeng curled her lips, and said disdainfully: "Of course I know. I heard from the eldest wife that Aunt Yang took the initiative to hand it over to her to take care of it. A little thing raised by the aunt, can it be changed by living with the eldest wife for a few days?" ?”

Wang Xifeng really didn't pay attention to this matter at first, after all Mrs. Xing's own foundation is not stable. Could it be that after Jia Cong has been with Mrs. Xing for a few days, the family will recognize his status as "son"?

That's a joke.

However, if you think about it carefully, you can see that most of those people really had improper thoughts.

No wonder the unconscionable man guarded all the gates of the old man's courtyard as soon as he came back.From this point of view, unconscionable worries may not be groundless worries, and it is really good to be on guard against those people.
