The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 420
The New Year atmosphere in Ningguo Mansion is far inferior to that in Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Lian walked all the way in, and found that there was no festive atmosphere except for some red lanterns hanging everywhere, and the white walls everywhere were brand new.

The servants probably also wandered around, so that when Jia Lian entered Ningxuan Hall from the courtyard, he didn't see many people.

But after entering Ning Xuantang, the situation is much better.

The maids and servants standing here are probably not much lower than Jiamu's Rongqing Hall in terms of quantity and quality.

Many of the maidservants still had faces, so Jia Lian couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

"This servant has seen Lord Hou!"

"Is your grandma at home?"

"Here, Master Hou wants to see Grandma? Let's invite Grandma out now..."

"No need. Sister-in-law is pregnant and inconvenient. I'd better go see her."

After simply asking and answering a few words with the maids standing on the corridor, Jia Lian gave Aqi and Aqin behind him a look, then stepped into the main hall alone, and then followed his memory to Youshi's room.

"Lord Hou~!"

When Xu Shi heard that he was coming, Yindie and another little girl came out to meet him. When she saw Jia Lian, Yindie's face was full of joy, and she stepped forward to salute respectfully.

Knowing that Jia Lian came to look for her grandma, she got up and said with a smile: "Grandma knows that Master Hou is here and is waiting in the house. Master Hou, let's go in."

Jia Lian nodded and walked directly into Youshi's bedroom.

As the hostess of Ningguo Mansion, You Shi lives in the main hall dignifiedly.This is not like Mrs. Wang, who can't live in the Rongxi hall, but only lives in the nearby courtyard.

As the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, Ningxuan Hall is comparable to Rongxi Hall in terms of specifications.

The inner hall where the owner lives is also five large rooms, with small rooms surrounded by large rooms, and even an inner corridor. If an assassin who is not familiar with the layout breaks in, it may take a while to find the owner. .

"Second uncle..."

Youshi knew about it as early as when Jia Lian passed through Dongfu and discussed with the housekeepers.

Originally, she wanted to go out to find Jia Lian, but she was afraid that she would be too eager and cause suspicion, so she didn't act.

Later, when she heard that Jia Lian had entered Ning Xuantang, she knew that he must be looking for her, so she tidied up and waited quietly in the room.

At this time, seeing Jia Lian walking in, he hurriedly went forward to greet him, calling out in a pleasant voice.

Jia Lian also saw Youshi standing by the window as soon as he entered the door.

This woman is still so beautiful and dignified, but her belly has obviously bulged, which affects her plump figure.

He also saw that in the spacious room, there was no servant at this time, and the second maidservant Yindie who greeted him earlier did not follow him in either.Jia Lian knew that this was Youshi's arrangement, so when she greeted her, he stepped forward to take her arm, and with one arm around him, he took Youshi into his arms.

Seeing You Shi's earnest eyes, Jia Lian lowered his head without hesitation, and kissed her red lips that were lightly rubbed with rouge.

Couples who have been away for a long time will inevitably be more enthusiastic.It was Jia Lian who was concerned that Youshi was about to give birth, so he let her go ahead of time.

"Second Uncle~~"

Youshi was a little ashamed, lowered his head, and murmured.

Although I met Jia Lian privately in the past, they either took advantage of the funeral or other conditions, or they met in Tianxiang Tower.

It was the first time to have fun in her room so openly and openly at this time. This kind of frightening feeling was both scary and vaguely exciting.

Jia Lian also felt that the beauty's lips and teeth were fragrant and her breath was very attractive, so he took her hand and sat on the armchair next to her, and then let Youshi sit on his lap, and while rubbing his ears and temples, he talked about the business.

What is business?However, Jia Lian asked Youshi if he had encountered any difficult problems in the past six months, and Youshi was concerned about his dangers outside.

Maybe they both know that time is precious, so the two of them didn't ask the bottom line. It's just that between you and me, lust is growing.

You Shi felt a little guilty, and whispered in Jia Lian's ear, "I'll call Yindie in for you."

Seeing Jia Lian shaking her head, You Shi remembered that she had given Yindie to Jia Lian for a long time, but Jia Lian had never accepted it. She had already guessed in her heart, so she gently explained: "I only accepted Yindie girl two years ago." Those around me, at that time, brother Yizhen was so focused on pleasing Rong's daughter-in-law that he didn't pay much attention to me and the people around me, so she was still a virgin.

Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to give her to my second uncle. "

Jia Lian raised his brows, this Youshi is indeed too virtuous and sensible.

However, he had already checked whether Yindie was a virgin, and naturally it wasn't for this reason that he didn't accept it.

Didn't explain anything to her, just changed the subject and said: "Just now when I came to your side, I found that the number of maids in your courtyard has increased a lot?"

Jia Lian was a little strange. He knew that Youshi and Qinshi had sent out many concubines and maidservants who used to be around Jia Zhen and Jia Rong. Why are there so many people serving in her room?

She knew that Youshi was not someone like Wang Xifeng who compared and talked about prestige and pomp.

Hearing this, Youshi raised his head and glanced at Jia Lian, and when Jia Lian was a little suspicious, Youshi laughed and said, "It's much more than before.

When your elder brother Zhen was here, many places in the house were wasted.

Now there is only me and Rong's daughter-in-law in the family, plus your uncle Jing and your brother Zhen, there is not much space to use, so I cut off all unnecessary ostentation.

I used this to send out a lot of people, but some of them were innocent, and I couldn't keep any sympathy, so I put them next to me and Rong's daughter-in-law, waiting for orders. "

Jia Lian understood that it was so.

Although some of them were sent out, because there were fewer places to employ people at home, more people were free.

For example, in Rongguo Mansion, if Mother Jia suddenly went there one day, wouldn't the hundred or so people serving in Rongqing Hall immediately be free?
Seeing that Jia Lian understood, You Shi said again: "However, I can't use so many people around me by myself. It's a pity to let them go for nothing. Why don't I recruit them and let my second uncle see them? In the past, how about I give it to my second uncle?"

"Second Uncle, don't be suspicious. Although I can't guarantee that these people are innocent, at least, they were people who seldom showed up in front of Uncle Zhen before. There are still some people who only entered the mansion this year to wait for orders. ..."

As Youshi spoke, he glanced at Jia Lian, seeming to be joking, but also a bit playful.

Jia Lian was speechless.

He believed what You Shi said was true. After all, no matter how lustful Jia Zhen is, her eyesight and energy are limited, and Jia Jing is not dead yet, so he still has some concerns about his actions, so it is impossible to prostitute all the maids and daughters-in-law in the mansion, which is normal .

At worst, Ningguo Mansion also has hundreds of family servants, so every year some newly grown slaves and maids will come into the mansion, and Ningguo Mansion may also buy some slaves and maids from outside every year.

Therefore, as long as Youshi has the heart, he will definitely be able to collect a lot of good-looking innocent maidservants from the mansion...

But this doesn't mean that he will be willing to pick out the beauties from the group of maids who have been selected by Jia Zhen.

In fact, Ruoning State Mansion is truly peerless, let alone someone like Qin Keqing, as long as he can be compared with Youshi, he doesn't mind meeting him once or twice.

But obviously, it's hard.

He can question Jia Zhen's character, but he won't question Jia Zhen's vision.

Although he didn't have any intentions of chasing beauty in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Lian also knew that it was Youshi's good intentions, so he just held her face and said with a smile: "There is no need to rush this matter, I will talk about it someday when I have the energy Bar."

"Oh."

But Youshi has seen that Jia Lian doesn't take her proposal to heart.

In fact, she didn't have to send someone to Jia Lian. The reason why she intentionally collected some good-looking maids by her side was indeed based on the current situation of Ningguo Mansion. Those maids would be easy to cause trouble if they were placed elsewhere, such as having an affair with servants and servants. some type of.

So, it's better to put it by her side.In this way, if there are many beauties around him, Second Uncle Lian will always miss her more.

With skill, it is easier to come to her side.

Although You Shi knew that he was pretty good looking, he was seven or eight years older than Jia Lian after all. Maybe in a few years, he would become less and less attractive to Jia Lian.

As for Jia Lian, from his wife Wang Xifeng to the maid Qingwen, who is not younger and more beautiful than her?

She knew that what she occupied was nothing more than a "curiosity hunt".She knew her strengths and weaknesses, so she naturally knew how to make Jia Lian pay more attention to her.

After confirming that Jia Lian had no intention of summoning Yindie, nor wanting other people to serve her, she could only calm down the anger she provoked by herself.

And how could Jia Lian have the heart to let her serve him with such a big belly, just when she was about to kneel down to the ground, he helped her up and sat on the kang.Immediately, he kissed her on the forehead and told her to take good care of the baby. He would come to see her another day, and then went out.

Although the current status is not what it used to be, it is better to avoid the troubles that can be avoided.

As the acting patriarch, it is inevitable for him to deal with You Shi, but it is better not to make things too obvious to make people suspicious.

So I went out to the verandah, recruited Aqi and Aqin, and headed towards the Grand View Garden.

Entering the Grand View Garden from Ningguo Mansion, you have to pass by the foot of Tianxiang Tower.

When Jia Lian came here, he saw that the whole Tianxiang Building was quiet, even if he entered through the main entrance, no one would be able to see him.But being cautious by nature, he went around to the hidden place and climbed up from the turret...
