The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 317 The Jia Family Girl
Seeing that Jia's mother had finished asking what she wanted to ask, Jia Lian was ready to leave.

Although most of the women present were of good color, it was a pleasure to be among them.But Jia Lian is an adult man with status and status after all, he doesn't want to be rude, and he doesn't want to be observed by others in every word, deed, and action.

Helpless, although Jia Baoyu didn't dare to ask about the princess anymore, he pestered him, asking why he didn't see Shangfang's sword since he was an imperial envoy, and so on.

And Mother Jia didn't intend to drive him away, instead she asked, "I vaguely heard people say that the masters unanimously elected you as the patriarch?"

"It's just acting as the patriarch. He said that he will take care of the affairs of the clan first. When the son of sister-in-law You grows up, he will return it to the head of the house."

When Jia Mu heard this, she understood the considerations of the men outside, and couldn't help frowning: "Why, now that you respect uncle, you still refuse to stay at home, or do you want to go back to Xuanzhen Temple?"

Jia Lian waved his hand helplessly: "Masters have persuaded me many times, but I just respect Uncle's sincerity, so I can only follow him."

When Jia Mu heard this, she had nothing to say except silence.

Even though she is the ancestor of the Jia family, she doesn't care about Jia Jing becoming a monk.When Jia Daihua was here, he couldn't control him, let alone her aunt!

Inside and outside the hall, other people didn't care much about whether Jia Jing became a monk or not. They only heard one thing clearly.

That is, Jia Lian is the patriarch?A hundred-year-old clan, with branches and leaves scattered, always has many branches and side houses, and life is getting more and more unsatisfactory.

But why do they still live in the capital and surround Ningrong Second Mansion?

Without him, because you can get the help of the two governments!

And the person in charge of this relief is the patriarch.

After all, no matter how rich the two prefectures are, they will not be able to gain any glory. Only the patriarch is obliged to support and take care of the incompetent clansmen.

Even Jia Zhen, every year when the crops are sent to the field village, they will deliver food and goods to each house, or directly ask them to go to Ningguo Mansion to pick them up.

Now knowing that Jia Lian has acted as the acting patriarch and has control over the distribution of the family's supplies, it naturally makes them look at Jia Lian even more eagerly...

While Jia Lian was talking, seeing all the younger sisters and sisters-in-law standing there, she walked two steps to Daiyu and the others without being told by Jia Mu.

Tanchun gave up his stool very neatly, and helped Jia Lian to sit down.Then she took Yingchun's arm and prepared to stand next to her second sister for the time being.

However, the maids in the hall had already received Youshi's order to observe the scene at any time, and upon seeing the situation, they had moved two extra stools over. Tanchun and Jia Baoyu sat down around Jia Lian.

Hearing Jia Baoyu's question again, Jia Lian glanced at him and replied with a smile: "Of course Shangfang has the sword, but His Majesty will give it to me on the day the princess leaves Beijing."

"So that's the case. Unfortunately, I still want to see if Shangfang Zhanmajian is really as rumored, soaring like a dragon and a phoenix, majestic and majestic."

Although Jia's mansion had a hidden sword, it was just an ordinary sword style.The Shangfang sword made with the Longquan system is exclusive to the imperial power. Under normal circumstances, only the emperor can use it.

So ordinary people can't see what Shang Fang's sword looks like.

Jia Lian then laughed and said to Jia Baoyu, "It's not difficult if you want to see it.

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. When I leave Beijing, I will take you with me. You can walk with me to the desert in the northwest and see the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. Maybe there will be some benefits. must. "

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was very moved.

It's not that he wants to travel thousands of miles, but he just thinks that if this is the case, he will have a chance to see the well-known Princess Zhaoyang who has never met before...

After all, he could only think about it. Looking back at his mother's warning eyes, Jia Baoyu bowed his head knowingly.

"Second brother, are you really leaving Beijing again?"

Suddenly hearing a delicate voice with a hint of trill, Jia Lian turned around immediately, because it was Daiyu's voice.

I saw Daiyu sitting upright on her small bench, looking straight at him with watery eyes, with obvious reluctance in her eyes.

Looking at Yingchun and Tanchun and others, there is a similar situation.

Just after nodding, Daiyu and the others became more nervous and reluctant.

Lian's second brother has only been home for half a year, and he is going to leave Beijing again, and this time he will go farther than before.

I haven't seen him for a long time, just in case...

It is said that there is still fighting at the border. Although Lian's second brother went out of Beijing by order, he is in a dangerous place. Is there a surefire way?

In case Lian's second elder brother has any troubles, then...

Thinking of this, Daiyu inexplicably felt her chest tight and uncomfortable, and a kind of extreme fear had already welled up in her heart.

She didn't know why she was worried about this, even the old lady probably didn't think so, it seemed a bit unfounded to worry about.

But she was very worried, she really couldn't imagine the consequences if Jia Lian left forever.

In that case, wouldn't she lose a...

A cousin who loves her so much and takes care of her.

Daiyu has a sensitive mind, so she thinks more and farther than others. She doesn't want Jia Lian to go to such a far and dangerous place.

For Tanchun and others, Jia Lian was traveling at the emperor's order, which was the most important business.

Although reluctant to give up, in the end, I could only secretly bless and say something like "the journey is long, so take care of it".

Jia Lian accepted the concern of the younger sisters, and glanced at the delicate Daiyu.

When she comes back from this errand, sister Lin will enter the age of cardamom...

Finally looking forward to the day of germination.

Jia Lian just talked a few words with Daiyu and the others, and the other women in the hall saw the rare opportunity, so they naturally wanted to make friends.

A wise woman immediately thought of an excellent reason.

Seeing that Jia Lian had a gap to speak, she immediately interjected with a smile: "Brother Lian has been busy with important affairs outside, and it is rare for us to see you all year round.

This is your younger sister, nicknamed Xiluan, who is 12 years old this year.

Luanluan, before you come forward, I will pay my respects to your second elder brother Lian! "

The charming woman, with a cautious voice, pulled the shy girl from her side and introduced a sentence to Jia Lian.

The girl was very shy, but under the eyes of everyone, she didn't want to lose her manners, so she followed her mother's strength, walked slowly in front of Jia Lian, and bowed: "I have seen the second brother Lian~"

Jia Lian smiled and stood up to return the salute.

Jia's family is in the eighth room in Beijing, with a large population.

The men are okay, they have many opportunities to get in touch with Jia Lian, so most of them know Jia Lian.

But it's hard to say for these cousins ​​who don't leave the door.

According to Jia Lian's observation just now, in today's hall alone, apart from Daiyu and Sanchun, there are about twenty girls under the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Most of them are unknown to him, but he is familiar with them, and probably knows which houses and households they belong to.

This Xiluan is too young, he really looks like a stranger.But her mother, Jia Lian, knew her and was Jia's mother.

As soon as Jia Xiluan stepped forward to greet Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu couldn't take his eyes off him.

Unlike Jia Lian, he was raised by Jia's mother since he was a child, and he especially likes beautiful girls, so he naturally knows most of the girls in the family.

After all, they are members of the same clan, and they always have to enter the Rongguo Mansion to pay respects to Mother Jia during the festivals.

If you bring your daughter or granddaughter, you will naturally have the chance to meet Jia Baoyu.

But Jia Baoyu couldn't remember other things. Remembering which younger sister was good-looking was his specialty.

Seeing Jia Xiluan at this time, I couldn't help but secretly praised in my heart: Sister Xiluan, she really is getting better and better, I have seen her pretty since I was a child!
Jia Mu, who was at the head, also looked at the girl immediately.

She nodded secretly, then smiled and said to Jia Lian: "Your aunt is right. It was fine in the past, but now you are the patriarch. You should also recognize the sisters and nieces in the family, so that you don't recognize them when you meet in the future. It was a joke."

With that said, Jia's mother called the shots and recruited all the girls for Jia Lian to have a face-to-face interview.

The other women were worried about being taken advantage of by Jia's mother and showed their faces in front of Jia Lian. At this time, who would not cooperate with Jia's mother, they brought out their daughters and granddaughters one after another, let Jia Lian recognize them, and asked Jia Lian to come A lot of care and stuff.

To be honest, with so many girls separated from each other, even from generation to generation, Jia Lian couldn't remember clearly for a while.

It turns out that the Jia family's genes are really good, even if it's just a side room girl, all of them seem to be well-behaved.

Among them, the most outstanding ones are Jia Xiluan, plus Jia Qiong's younger sister, Sijieer.

That's all for Jia Qiong's younger sister. Jia Lian was a little impressed, but the one who impressed me the most was Jia Qiong's mother.

Burning young women, killing waists.That was all, years ago.

Originally, according to Jia Lian's habit, the younger sister who met for the first time had to be given a gift or something.

But today there are too many younger sisters and nieces, even if Jia Lian took off all the small things he was wearing, there would still be not enough to give away.So Jia Lian had no choice but to give up and send a word of concern and praise instead, and it passed.
