The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 195
"The Qin family brother, I thought he looked good, and Baoyu was the same age, so I let him study and play with Baoyu.

So it seems that I don't know people.

After all, he came from a small family, did not have a good education, and it is understandable that he has less self-control, but he did not expect to be so unself-disciplined, and to do such absurd and rebellious things, which almost hurt Baoyu. "

In order to completely dispel the doubts of the whole family, Jia's mother did not hesitate to take the fault to herself.

Aunt Xue understood what Jia Mu meant, and she also helped out: "You don't have to say that, old lady, there are all kinds of people in the world, some are good, and there are naturally bad ones.

I think Baoyu is a rare good boy, and he was trained by the old lady since he was a child. He is knowledgeable in books, etiquette, and sensible. All the children in the world are inferior to Baoyu. "

"Hehehe, the aunt's wife said that, she praised him too much, how could he deserve your praise of him..."

Jia Lian was too lazy to listen to Jia's mother's whitewashing meeting here, so she took a break from their conversation and left.

"Lian'er, just wait."

When Jia Lian turned around, it was Mrs. Wang who chased him out and stopped him in the corridor.

"What's your order, madam?"

"Come here, I have something to say to you."

As Mrs. Wang said, she walked from the corridor to her next room.

Jia Lian was not suspicious, and went up the corridor again.

Mrs. Wang is quite tall, a bit taller than Aunt Xue, but even at this age, she walks in a smooth and square manner, and she can control the temperament of a noble lady very well.

From the faint surviving curves, one can imagine that she was also a rare beauty when she was young.

The butt is also big, no wonder it is so fertile.

In this era, it is not easy to successfully give birth to three healthy children.

I don't know if people really have a third eye. Although she didn't look back, Mrs. Wang still realized that Jia Lian might be spying on her.

This made her walking posture a little distorted, but fortunately her lower part was not far away, and she was much more comfortable after turning into the house after a few steps.

Ask Jia Lian to sit down, and ask the maidservant to pour tea himself.

Mrs. Wang was rarely so polite to him, but Jia Lian just smiled and said, "If Madam has any orders, just tell me. My nephew can do it, and I will do my best."

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Lian carefully, feeling secretly melancholy.Could it be that Lian'er's stupid appearance before was really just a faux pas, the purpose was to deceive all of them, until she realized that the old man was not long to come, so she stopped hiding it and successfully won the title in one go?

If so, his city mansion is too deep.

"Thank you for clarifying the matter of your brother Bao."

Mrs. Wang said with some sincerity.

She cared more about Jia Baoyu's reputation than Jia's mother, so she questioned the events of that night in detail early in the morning.

Although what the mothers-in-law say is similar to that of Jia Lian and his wife, under her earnest questioning, one can still guess that Baoyu was indeed instigated by that little villain of the Qin family to do absurd things together!

What she didn't expect was that Jia Lian not only didn't make trouble that night, but rather defended Jia Baoyu...

At first, she wondered if Jia Lian had some bad ideas, but it wasn't until Jia Lian still did that in front of Jia's mother that Mrs. Wang felt that perhaps she had been too caring all along.

After all, if Jia Lian really wanted to harm them, there were so many people just now, as long as Jia Lian poured dirty water on Jia Baoyu, her son's reputation would be ruined!
So for this, she also felt that she should thank Jia Lian.

"My wife is serious. We are all a family. There is nothing to thank. As an elder brother, if I don't help him, can I still harm him?"

When Jia Lian said this, he felt a little suspicious in his heart.

Compared with Jia's mother's superiority, Jia Zheng's ignorant and pedantic, in fact, he and Mrs. Wang have always understood the competition between them the most.

And last time because of the sacrifice, I almost tore my face.

So Mrs. Wang took the initiative to talk to him alone, which made him a little surprised, and he couldn't help but feel a little more alert.

Mrs. Wang nodded and smiled at Jia Lian, then she didn't bother with the matter, and asked instead: "By the way, I heard that you and Feng girl locked up the Jingxu of Shuiyue Nunnery?"

Jia Lian thought this was Mrs. Wang's main topic, and was about to respond with a "confession" that she had made with Wang Xifeng long ago, but Mrs. Wang continued: "I have already heard Feng girl talk about the specific things, alas, I didn't expect that she would do such a conscienceless thing behind her back. I didn't even know it was my crime.

What you did was right, such a scourge really cannot be kept. "

Jia Lian opened his mouth, thinking that this should not be Mrs. Wang's lines.

"As for the ill-gotten money she left behind..."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Lian, and when Jia Lian was about to speak again, she interrupted again: "Young girl Feng also said that you took half of it for Shuiyue Temple to use for operation, and the rest will be transported back to the city and bought." Grain hires people and builds porridge sheds to help the poor.

This is also good, in this way, the sins committed by Jing Xu can be eliminated to the greatest extent, and my heart can also feel at ease. "

Jia Lian slammed her mouth, and couldn't help but say: "I thought, my wife wanted me to transport the things to the mansion for payment!"

Mrs. Wang was silent for a while, and then said: "One thing, her money is all ill-gotten gains, so it's natural how it came from and how it is distributed.

On the other hand, if it is transported to the mansion and returned to the account, not to mention that it is difficult to establish a name, I am afraid that the servants will suspect that the mansion's disposal of Jingxu is to steal people's money, so it is not beautiful. "

What else can Jia Lian say, isn't this what he was going to use to deal with Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang said it, how should he respond?

Simply shut up and don't speak.

"So, the two of you, keep the money for the time being, and distribute as much as you can to the poor, which is considered a kindness.

By the way, Jingxu is also a person who often walks in front of the old lady, and now the old lady doesn't know about it, I will tell the old lady later, that's it, you don't have to worry about it. "

Mrs. Wang said slowly.

Jia Lian just looked at her. Is this his response to defending Jia Baoyu?Not only did they not mind at all that they took away Jingxu and replaced Shuiyue Temple as the host, but even threw such a huge amount of money directly to them.

Temporarily unable to guess Mrs. Wang's intentions, Jia Lian didn't bother to guess, and just said: "So, thank you madam."

Jingxu's looted wealth is worth at least 1 taels. It is undoubtedly a piece of fat, and Jia Lian has no reason not to eat it.

Maybe it's because Mrs. Wang doesn't know about visiting relatives in the future, otherwise, she might not be so noble, I'm afraid she can't wait to hold all the money in her hands...

There was really nothing to talk to Mrs. Wang alone, so Jia Lian bid farewell after finishing talking about the topic.

"Well, you go."

Madam Wang looked at Jia Lian who was striding away, she put away her smile, but she just stopped smiling, not as gloomy as before.

Jia Lian guessed right, the reason why Mrs. Wang is so generous suddenly is that she really intends to reciprocate.

Jia Lian's attitude towards Jia Baoyu today made Mrs. Wang somewhat relieved and sober.With the current situation, it's not good for her to get into trouble with Jia Lian.

One is the harmony of the family, and the other is that the daughter has just become a concubine and her status is unstable, and Wang Ziteng, Jia Zheng and others are still needed to help.Jia Lian barely counts as a share.

Therefore, letting Jia Lian and his wife swallow Jingxu's private property smoothly is her intention to show her goodwill.

In fact, Wang Xifeng is also responsible for this. When counting that night, Wang Xifeng deliberately did not let the Jia family's wives know the exact amount.

When Mrs. Wang asked her last night, she intentionally underreported the number.Mrs. Wang was born as an aristocratic daughter, and has been in the Jia family for 20 years. Her vision is still quite high, and ordinary wealth really can't move her heart.

What's more, she still dislikes such unclean money, so she decided to give it to Jia Lian and his wife generously.

Mrs. Wang was thinking about it, and Jia Lian could understand how much she had put in so much painstaking efforts. When she suddenly saw the untouched teacup on the table, Mrs. Wang felt very speechless:

Could it be that he is still afraid that I will poison him!

Mrs. Wang's mood suddenly changed. Do you think she is an ignorant idiot like Yang?What kind of status is she, how can she do such a low-level thing?

So he stood up with a flick of his sleeves, asked the maids to pack up, and went to Jiamu's side again.

In fact, Mrs. Wang misunderstood Jia Lian again.

Not drinking tea or drinking casually is just a habit formed by Jia Lian, not because she is afraid of her being poisoned.

Jia Lian knew very well that Mrs. Wang was not stupid, and as the biological mother of the imperial concubine, she had a high status, and it was hard to find anything worth risking herself for.

Such a person, on the contrary, is safe.

Unless one day, when he himself is not steady and falls from power, Mrs. Wang will be able to grab something for her Baoyu.

Today's Mrs. Wang probably can only acquiesce to Wang Xifeng's lending, which may allow them to destroy the Great Wall by themselves.
