The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 107 I'm Xiangyun

It is a great joy for any family to have a son named an official!

Therefore, it is a necessary procedure for Jia Zheng to order Jia Lian to go in and announce the good news to Jia's mother.

Jia Lian took all his things directly to Rongqingtang.

Along the way, no matter whether it was the servants from the outer courtyard or the servants and maids who entered the inner courtyard, they all moved forward to surround them in surprise, and the clever ones even congratulated Qianer repeatedly.

Even if Jia Lian didn't pay much attention to them, they were all smiling, and after Jia Lian and the others passed by, they continued to praise loudly.

They all knew from their posture that Second Master Lian had been promoted again!
This is so amazing that it can be described. Originally, if the Elder Master thought it was going to fail, Second Master Lian would be able to seize the title!Who knew that the second master Lian could be promoted without relying on his title. Isn't this a beautiful thing both inside and outside?

Everyone knows that Second Master Lian is really about to get rich!

So don't say that Second Master Lian ignored them, even if he spit on their faces, they would still pick it up with a smile.

Jia Lian wasn't pretending to be aloof, but there were too many people trying to flatter her by showing her face. It was tiring to really show a good face, so she simply ignored her.Probably this is one of the reasons why those high officials like to put on a sullen face.

Walking to Jiamu's main courtyard and going out of the hall, I saw two girls, one big and one small, talking in the corridor.

The older one is tall and slender, with a slender waist, delicate features, and a beautiful appearance. This is striking.

The younger one was wearing deerskin boots, blue cotton trousers, and a peach blossom red dress. He was very cheerfully dressed.

Although she is small and delicate, a little girl who has not yet fully grown, she is eloquent at this time, and she keeps talking to Xi Ren, until Xi Ren rushed forward to say hello because she saw her, and she didn't return. Look over your head.

At this time, they were facing each other head-on, and Jia Lian could see her appearance clearly.

A small round face, pink and smooth, white teeth and fresh lips, above the small bridge of the nose, in a pair of big clear eyes, there seems to be a cunning light!

When she saw Jia Lian, she seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then hurried forward, curtseyed politely, and greeted, "I've seen the second elder brother Lian."

Looking up, she saw that Jia Lian was still looking at her with a frown, and she suddenly said unhappily, "I haven't seen you for two years, and the second elder brother Lian doesn't recognize me, does it? I'm Xiangyun..."

As he spoke, Xiangyun raised his hands, pushed aside the bangs on his forehead with one hand, and pulled his face with the other, trying to make his face bigger, so that Jia Lian could see clearly who she was.

Jia Lian smiled, and finally said with a smile: "So it's Yun'er. I haven't seen her for two years and I've grown so much. I almost didn't recognize him when I saw her."

Xiang Yun snorted, showing that he was not satisfied with Jia Lian's statement.

Jia Lian walked down with a smile and asked, "When did you get home, why didn't I know?"

"I arrived yesterday afternoon..."

Xiang Yun said something casually, and asked Jia Lian: "I heard from them that you, Brother Lian, have been promoted... Hey, is this your official uniform, and your official hat..."

Xiangyun is a little girl, and she has nothing to hold back. Seeing the official uniforms and other things carried by the maids behind, she stepped forward to check.

Xiren felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly called out.

Xiang Yun also noticed the impoliteness, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment, but seeing that Jia Lian didn't seem to want to blame him, he smiled sweetly at him and said, "The old lady and the others are waiting for you in the house, let's go in quickly!"

Jia Lian nodded and followed in her footsteps.

Xiangyun used to live in Jia's mansion for a long time. Later, the original historian's wife died of illness, and Xiangyun went back to observe filial piety, so Jia Lian was not seen when he first came.

Therefore, Xiangyun in Jia Lian's impression was a little girl who was six or seven years old, and now she is two or three years older... and she is still a little girl.

Before entering the house, a group of maidservants and younger sisters came up to greet him, and circled around him curiously.

They felt fresh about the official seals and waist cards, because they had never seen these things before.

"Take it here and let me see."

Jia's mother got down from her seat, and greeted Yingchun and the others without waiting for Jia Lian to come forward to greet her.

The maids hurriedly brought up the things for Jiamu to see...

In the hall, Jia Baoyu looked at this group of ordinary people. Sitting on the stool, he felt bored and lonely in life, so he turned his head to talk to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, your illness is better. You are not here for more than ten days. We But I miss you all.

When you go to my room later, I will keep something good for you, it was given to me by someone else during the year..."

Daiyu listened and pretended not to hear. When Jia Lian came over, she stood up instead and bowed obediently.

"Sister Lin is back too. By the way, what's wrong with you, and Uncle's body, how are you getting better these days?"

Hearing Jia Lian's question, Daiyu nodded and said, "I would also like to thank Lian's second elder brother for the ginseng that he brought over years ago. My father and I ate some and felt much better."

"That's nothing. If it's really effective, I still have some. I'll ask the servant girl to bring it to you later."

Jia Lian smiled casually, found an empty stool and sat down.

Rao knew that Jia Lian was very generous to her, Daiyu couldn't help being moved at this moment.

According to what his father said, the ginseng that Jia Lian gave them, especially the two high-quality red ginseng, may not be able to buy one for a few hundred taels of silver. Even his father thinks such things are precious. Yes, he said he wanted to know that Jia Lian sent these things, and he definitely wouldn't accept them at the time.

Such things, now just listening to her say something is useful, but I still have to give her...

Daiyu just felt that Jia Lian's kindness to her was unreal.

But she knew that Jia Lian himself was not very rich, Lian's second sister-in-law was in charge, and his father treated him badly, so even if he didn't need this kind of good ginseng, he could still exchange it for money. It could be exchanged for a lot of money. .

Seeing Daiyu's appearance, Jia Baoyu was startled.

It's over, when will Sister Lin become secular, and she will be bribed after asking for a few ginseng?

Is it so difficult to maintain a clean body when born in troubled times? Even Sister Lin, who is hard to find in the world, is also polluted as a pure daughter!

No, I have to rescue the pure and innocent sister Lin.

"If Sister Lin wants to use ginseng, the old lady has everything in the house. Tomorrow, I will ask her old man to bring some to Sister Lin. I don't need to make the second brother Lian spend money. His things are all hard-won..."

"Who said I want to use it! Even if you ask for it, I don't want it."

Daiyu glared at Jia Baoyu.I'm still waiting for you to ask, and before I let others know that I'm frivolous, I came back here to ask for this and that.So even if the old lady is willing to give it, it is not sincere.

Daiyu and Jia Baoyu are about the same age, they are both still young, and there is no relationship between men and women at this time, mostly only the emotions of children playing and playing together, whether they get along or not.

Originally, she was far away from her hometown and relatives, and her heart was sensitive. In this mansion, besides Jia Mu, Jia Baoyu was the only person she often saw to greet her. Originally, she somewhat recognized Jia Baoyu as her cousin.

It's just that when Baochai came last year, Jia Baoyu took most of her attention away in an instant, and went to please Baochai every day, which made Daiyu very unhappy, and even suspected that Jia Baoyu's kindness to her before was not sincere. Seeing a person who is "better than her", he abandons her.

And Jia Baoyu, a kid who is only 11 years old this year, is usually arrogant and domineering at home, so he doesn't know how to let people know. Even if he is more careful with his beautiful daughter, how can he guess what Daiyu is thinking?
Every time I offended, got angry for a while, and flattered me for a while, I couldn't quite hit the point.

It would have been fine if Jia Lian hadn't set an example before her, and Daiyu would be able to figure things out gradually.It's a pity that Jia Lian, this golden and jade-like cousin, did a really good job, which made Daiyu's expectations for Jia Baoyu infinitely high. Compared with this, it will naturally appear that Jia Baoyu has more bad problems.

As a result, every time Daiyu got angry, she would involuntarily take Jia Lian with her. Shouldn't be talking to him.

Such an unpredictable Daiyu makes Jia Baoyu, who really wants to please her, often have one head and two big ones!
For example, at this time Jia Baoyu clearly wanted to please Daiyu, but Daiyu thought that Jia Baoyu was reminding her that she was not as favored by Jia's mother as he was, so much so that she had to rely on the other party to help her get any ginseng!
Because he didn't want to talk to Jia Baoyu, and didn't want people to see that she was unhappy, he walked up to Jia Lian and asked, "Didn't the second brother Lian say he went to the border to lead troops? Why did he bring so many ginseng back... Listen to Tanchun and the others."

Looking at Jia Baoyu deflated, Jia Lian felt inexplicably happy.

A single Lin Daiyu can torture you so much that you will not live or die, and you still want to miss Qingwen, you little brat, you really don't know how powerful the world is.
