The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 109
In Dongkuayuan, all the slaves and servants who were on duty or not on duty, swarmed around regardless of food.

Mrs. Yang came out to see Mrs. Xing, and wanted to talk to her brother. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly stopped a young man and asked the reason.

"My aunt doesn't know, but the news from the mansion over there said that the second master Lian will choose ten people in Nanyuan, who will be responsible for escorting the second master in the future.

Aunt and grandma think about it, the second master is now an official in the military department, and a new official is taking office. The huge military department does not know how many people are needed. With the second master, maybe he can be on duty in the yamen in the future, then But it's a great thing, can the servants hurry up and try it..."

The little servant finished speaking quickly, not wanting to waste any time, so he slapped a thousand children casually and ran away.

Seeing this, Yang's mood naturally became worse.

She can understand the thoughts of these servants. Among the servants around the second master in the mansion over there, those who are responsible for escorting the second master Jia Zheng to go to court every day and who can help Jia Zheng carry the official sedan chair are the only ones in the mansion. Arrogant, obviously superior.

They were jealous, and now that Jia Lian is on a job, they naturally want to win over this Qiaozong!
Suddenly feeling powerless, Jia Lian's status as a direct eldest son had already overwhelmed them, and now they have to be matched with high-ranking officials.If things go on like this, even if Jia Amnesty doesn't like Jia Lian anymore, she and her Cong'er will have no chance at all.

Now, what should she do, and what else can she do...

……

In the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.

After the old man's death, the secluded courtyard that was originally deserted is now prosperous again.

Because the Xue family lived in.

The Xue family is a noble family in Jinling, although most of the servants who came to Beijing on this trip were resettled in the Xue family's old house, only a dozen or so were brought into Jia's mansion to serve.But the exquisite life of the Xue family has not diminished, which makes this small and exquisite courtyard glow with extra vitality.

At this time, the Xue family also heard the news that Jia Lian was made an official, but because Jia Lian was a junior, and now his father was sick in bed, it was not easy to congratulate him in person.

However, some discussion is inevitable.

In the main house in the backyard, Aunt Xue's bedroom and the outer hall, the mother and daughter of the Xue family were talking, when suddenly Xue Pan walked in carelessly, and shouted when they met: "Mom~... my sister is here too, um, you heard No, the second elder brother Lian in their mansion has been promoted, and he is still promoted! I heard that it is the commander of the army and horse department, who is in charge of fighting and other things on the interface. Hey, don’t be afraid of fighting with others in the future. Leave me alone and ask Second Brother Lian to lead someone to clean them up..."

Aunt Xue was angry at this moment, when she saw Xue Pan and heard what he said, she immediately lost her temper.

"You are ashamed to say that he is only four or five years older than you, and now he is an upright fourth-rank official. What about you, besides eating wine and watching theaters every day, what do you do? You are usually asked to follow the shopkeeper more If you learn to govern the world economy, you will be miserable!
You are envious of others now, but you don't know their official positions, which are all gained by going to the bitter cold places in the border.

As for you, you have the guts to mention a fight, you dare to hurt someone's life just because of an actor..."

The more Aunt Xue talked, the more angry she became, so that her complexion became pale, which caused Baochai to give her a quick pat on the back.

Xue Pan came in happily to announce the good news, but he was ostracized the moment they met, and immediately called out: "Isn't that incident all over, why do you keep mentioning it? Do you have to ask me to replace that incident?" Can't you pay for your life?

If you want to complain that I'm not as competitive as Lian's second brother, and I can't bring honor to your old face, then I'd rather go to that battlefield and fight for fame and come back, just because you're old and worried.

Alas, why bother to compare with others, but don't think about it, how can our family compare to his family?What is this, Lian's second elder brother will inherit the title in the future, according to the current situation of their family, he will be at least a second-rank or third-rank general...

That's it, what do we compare with others?
You still blame me, and tell me who to blame, can you blame me for being born to no one? "

Seeing Xue Pan go on and on, Baochai said: "You can stop talking a few words, I didn't see that my mother is like this, so you are still angry with her."

Speaking of it, the Xue family is not as particular as the Jia family. Baochai and Xue Pan usually call "Mom" at home, and only when outsiders are present, they call "Madam" or "Mother". The relationship between them is closer.

"You let him talk."

Aunt Xue got even angrier, and scolded: "I'm surprised, you're usually out there, aren't you quite domineering, why do you always presume that it's because of your family background when you meet someone you can't compare with?

You don't want to make progress yourself, and you blame your family background for not being able to compare?Our family's ancestors were also first-rank officials, and they are not too far behind theirs. "

Hearing this, Xue Pan laughed instead, "That's the old calendar from so many years ago. Don't be convinced, Mom, you can't compare with us. Seriously, how many companies in the world can compare with them? Keeping it so rich for a hundred years?
We can't compare to them, we are not ashamed. "

Aunt Xue just laughed angrily, saying that he is smart, she has never had an opinion in her heart, and saying that he is not smart, these questions are quite clear, and she can't refute them.

"You, that's just a little nonsense. I'm too lazy to talk about you, and you won't listen to me.

Our family is not good at all, and we have left you a job title of the household department after all. I just hope that you will be more careful and don't lose this too.Otherwise, even if I go underground, I will have no face to face the ancestors of your Xue family. "

When Xue Pan heard this, he still wanted to talk back, but was glared at by Baochai next to him. After thinking for a while, he felt that it was boring, and said in a dispirited way: "Oh, if there is nothing else, I will go out first."

When Xue Pan went out, Aunt Xue took Baochai and sighed: "Your brother is like this, I don't want him to be able to honor his ancestors, but I only hope that he can support this family business in the future, and don't let others plan it." Fortunately."

In fact, Baochai was also somewhat dissatisfied with her brother, but it was her brother after all, so it was hard to say anything bad about him, so she only comforted her: "Mom, don't say such things, brother is still young and ignorant, maybe in the future he will When I got older, I woke up.

Didn't mom hear that Lian's second cousin was similar to his elder brother when he was a teenager, but it's only changed in these years. Looking at it now, do you think there is anything wrong with him? "

what……

It has to be said that Baochai is indeed good at comforting people, and with just one sentence, Aunt Xue turned her worries into joy and looked forward to it.

"What you said is that your aunt is a character who can't lie, and what she said in the early years must be true.

Thinking about it carefully, the last time we saw him in the old mansion in Jinling, he didn’t have any serious official positions or titles, and now it’s only been less than two years, who would have thought there would be such an earth-shaking difference? "

The more Aunt Xue thought about it, the more strange she felt. The first time she saw Jia Lian, she felt that Jia Lian was not comparable to the children of ordinary aristocratic families.

Who would have thought that she would have missed her sight, that Jia Lian could have such an encounter and fortune in such a short period of time?

The promotion is so fast that they can almost catch up with the older generation!

"Feng girl, she is a lucky person."

Aunt Xue suddenly sighed.

When Baochai heard this, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The greatest luck for a woman in the world is to be able to marry a good man.

Cousin Xifeng seems to be the lucky one, but what about her?

The emperor gave grace, in addition to hiring and selecting concubines, he also selected famous women from aristocratic families for the princesses and princesses of the royal family to serve as talents and praises.

My mother sent her Geng Chen up last autumn, if she hadn't, then of course she wouldn't say anything.

Even if it passes, from then on, I will probably become a female official next to those royal ladies, and my fate is completely in the hands of others.

So, what qualifications are there to talk about happiness?

　Don't underestimate any of the four major families in Jinling. The first generation of the families who dared to be big in the capital of the founding of the country were all close officials and celebrities around Taizu.
