The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 47 Coveted
Jia Lian didn't expect Mother Jia to invite him over. Except for the New Year's Eve, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten at Rongqing Tang.

After tidying up, I brought Ping'er and Xiangling to Rongqingtang.

Rongqing hall seemed a little quiet, Jia Lian came back when he saw Jia Baoyu, Jia Mu was patting him on the back and talking, while Daiyu sat alone on the other side, her small mouth pouted in aggrieved way, her face The tears are still wet.

Jia Lian guessed that it was probably Jia Baoyu who threw the jade just now.

This damn plot fit!
Going forward to salute Jia's mother, seeing Daiyu who had stood up and looked at him silently, Jia Lian laughed and said, "Why are you crying again, but who bullied you?"

Mother Jia, who was comforting Jia Baoyu, realized that she had neglected Daiyu, so she sighed: "No one bullied, but just now your brother Bao fell ill again and smashed his jade for no reason. Your sister Lin Xu I was scared."

With that said, Mother Jia turned around and took Daiyu into her arms, comforting her too.

The hall became even quieter for a while, only the voice of Jia's mother coaxing her grandson and granddaughter.

Jia Lian glanced at the people around again. Wang Xifeng, who is used to warming up the scene, for some reason, also stood behind the crowd today, without showing his head.

Jia Lian showed her a good-natured smile, and then said: "In my opinion, Brother Bao may not be ill. I'm afraid he saw Sister Lin coming to our house, he was happy and didn't know how to express it, so he smashed it." Let Yu come to express."

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu, who was embarrassed at first, looked at Daiyu and nodded frantically.

Then Jia Lian said to Jia Baoyu again: "But brother Bao, I'm not talking about you. Sister Lin is a guest from afar, and you are a cousin. You should be more polite and act more carefully. Just like old ladies and wives. I love you, I can see that there is something wrong with you, if you scare Sister Lin, wouldn't Uncle Lin who is far away in Yangzhou also feel bad?

Uncle Lin agreed to send Sister Lin to our house for the sake of the old lady. Before leaving, he repeatedly told me to take good care of Sister Lin.So, if you offend her, don't say that the old lady is unhappy, I'm afraid you won't be able to justify it here. "

Jia Baoyu was most annoyed by other people's lectures in his life, but Jia Lian was the elder brother, and he was oppressed with great principles, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Jia Lian's momentum meant to suppress Jia Baoyu, Mrs. Wang was a little unhappy, but she didn't say anything.

On the other hand, Mother Jia seemed to feel a little distressed, and said: "Okay, I really haven't seen you, you used to have a temper that had nothing to do with you, why did you go to the south, and you talked a lot?
They are children playing around, so it is wrong for you to say these things to scare him. "

Jia Lian smiled and cupped her hands, "What the old ancestor said is true, but I just told him a few words in vain. I think sister Lin will be hurt by the old lady, so she won't suffer any more grievances."

Jia Lian wants to respect Jia's mother, but there is no need to be afraid of saying something that will make her unhappy.As for Mrs. Wang, she can stay where she is cool. The person who has enslaved his wife for so many years and kicked her away at the end is the most disgusting.

Of course, this can't be said in person, because the relationship between the two layers of elders is above all.

Jia Lian didn't take Jiamu's words to heart, but Daiyu, who was next to her, was tearful when she saw her.

Lian's second brother was scolded by the old lady because of her...

This is the most sensitive time for Daiyu to enter Jia's residence for the first time.

Just now Jia Baoyu pestered her to talk, but she didn't say anything about it, Jia Baoyu didn't say anything, just tore off the jade he was wearing and threw it on the ground.

Not to mention, she could also tell that Jia Baoyu wasn't angry at her, there seemed to be something wrong with him.It's just that when the other people saw this, it seemed as if some earth-shattering event had happened, and they were all messed up, which scared her a little.

What made her most sad was that Jia Mu, who clearly loved her so much before, saw that Jia Baoyu was "ill" and immediately couldn't care about anything else. She just took Jia Baoyu to comfort her and left her behind. .Could it be that her old man is blaming me for offending Second Brother Bao?

Because of this, Daiyu finally knew what it means to say that the person the old lady loves the most is the second master Bao, and she understood even more that no matter how much the old lady loved her, she would eventually be ranked below this Baoyu.

This was her most intuitive feeling just now, and she also knew that the reaction in that situation was the least deceptive.

In contrast, as soon as Jia Lian showed up, she just saw her bad face, and criticized Jia Baoyu's behavior of supporting her in front of the old lady and his wife, but she was very moved.

Jia Lian didn't intend to make a big fuss, anyway, when Daiyu came to Jia's mansion, she must be raised by Jia's mother. He couldn't snatch Daiyu and raise her in his courtyard, could he?

That being the case, it was inevitable that Daiyu and Jia Baoyu would meet every day.

Fortunately, Jia Baoyu is just a little kid with no heart, so there should be no threat for the time being...

So Ping'er brought up the prepared gifts for Yingchun and the others, and prepared to let the three little girls come to liven up the atmosphere after Wang Xifeng was misfired by him.

Of course, there are also Jia Baoyu, not many.

Seeing that Yingchun and the others got their favorite gifts, Jia's mother was very happy, and kept thanking Jia Lian. The brothers and sisters were in a rare harmony, and Jia's mother was happy again.

Hearing Wang Xifeng say that the meal is ready in the dining room, he waved his hands to Yingchun and said: "Okay, I'm happy for you, put away all your things, and take a good look after eating."

Jia's mother is not a stingy person, so she wouldn't really hold a grudge against Jia Baoyu because Jia Lian was not polite to Jia Baoyu for a while.

At the banquet, she still took good care of Jia Lian, after all she said it herself, this was a reception banquet for Jia Lian and Daiyu.

Thanks to the honor of the two of them, Madam Wang, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng were also able to form a separate table beside them, and they all sat and ate together.

After dinner, it's time for tea and chat.

Jia Lian turned his head and said to Ping'er, "Take Xiangling down to eat."

He also instructed Xiangling alone: ​​"Follow your elder sister Ping'er more from now on, and if you don't understand anything, just ask her. You don't have to come back after dinner, just go back to rest. If you can't find your way, just go Let your sister Ping'er send you off, do you understand?"

The Xiangling chick nodded like pecking at rice.

Jia Lian felt a little emotional, Xiangling was too obedient and her character was too weak, she would feel uneasy if she left him, and she could only entrust her to Ping'er.

Everyone sat and drank tea, and the lights were brightly lit. Except for the maidservants standing around, everyone else's every move was watched by everyone.

Jia Lian's small gestures and even what he said to Xiangling were heard.

Some people had their own thoughts, except Jia Erbao, who seemed to see such an outstanding girl next to Jia Lian at this time, and his eyes were straightened for a moment.

When Xiangling left with Ping'er, she hurriedly asked Wang Xifeng, Yingchun and others.

There was nothing to hide about this matter, and everyone was happy to tell it as a news story.

Jia Baoyu clapped his hands when he heard this: "Great, great, such a good person, thanks to being met by Lian's second brother, otherwise, how could he come to our house? If he wanders outside and is seen by those dirty-hearted Wouldn't you be poisoned alive?"

Jia Lian chuckled, he was praised by the second master Bao, at least, in his eyes, he was not such a dirty-hearted person?After Jia Baoyu finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Lian, stood up, went to Jia Mu's ear, and whispered something in a whisper, which could not be heard from a distance.

It's just that after Jia's mother heard this, she took a brief look at Jia Baoyu and asked him to sit down, speechless for a while.

After everyone drank some tea, Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian and said with a smile, "Lian'er, you look like you just now, you seem to be very satisfied with the girl you brought back?"

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows. Could it be that Jia Erbao really wanted to rob him, so he asked Jia's mother to be a lobbyist?

If he really dares to do this, he will knock out a few ribs of his little boy!

"Look at what my ancestors said, who doesn't like such a good girl? When I was on the boat before, sister Lin also wanted it, but I didn't give it to her."

Daiyu glanced at Jia Lian, hummed and said nothing.She doesn't have it, Lian's second brother likes to make up nonsense.

"Hehe, aren't you afraid that girl Feng will be jealous?"

Mother Jia glanced at Wang Xifeng with a smile, and everyone understood the meaning in her eyes without saying much.

Wang Xifeng wished she could find a crack in the ground to sneak in, it was all because of the unconscionable people who caused her to receive so many inexplicable looks...

Jia Lian also took a look at Wang Xifeng, shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid, if she dares to be jealous, her shoulders will be broken."

"Hehehe..."

Jia Lian's words immediately made everyone laugh. Even Mrs. Wang, who has a face of ten thousand years, shook her head, amused by Jia Lian's self-confidence.

Wang Xifeng even looked over sullenly, not knowing what to say.

If you dare to push my old lady's shoulders, I will bite off a piece of meat for you!

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Although you can convince her, I don't want to see your yard goofing around all day long.

I thought, since you already got such a good girl, that little girl named Qingwen, why don't you give it to Brother Bao.

They will also move out of my house next year, and I was thinking of choosing a few capable people to serve them, and I don't want Brother Bao to also take a fancy to that girl.Just now you also said that the older brother should let the younger one go, maybe you should let your brother Bao too? "

What Jia Mu said shocked everyone.

Brothers in a family had conflicts over the fight over the maid, I only heard about it from other people's houses before, but I haven't bumped into it yet.

But I didn't take it too seriously. Thinking about what Jia Mu said was so reasonable, and with Lian's second master's temperament, he might not really care about such a little girl, so he would definitely agree.

Many people think so. After all, in their hearts, what Jia Mu said is like an imperial decree. Who would dare to disobey it?
