The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian, who sent Mrs. Xing away with a few words, didn't take this matter to heart.

In today's Jia's mansion, even Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang have to think carefully when talking to him, let alone Mrs. Xing.

It's just because she is stupid and scheming, and she is her nominal aunt, so she should give her some dignity and maintain the name of filial piety and benevolence.

When walking home, Jia Lian suddenly stopped, turned around and called to the back: "Come out, what are you doing sneakily."

As his words fell, a pretty, flower-like girl really appeared from behind the narrow wall.

She clasped her hands behind her back and stood on her toes, walking over with a shy yet generous appearance, "How did the second master find me?"

"How did you find you? You followed me from the old lady's house, and you still want me to see you?"

Jia Lian conveniently gave Qing Wen a thud on the head, and when she skillfully covered her head and stared at him, Jia Lian suddenly laughed again.

A girl of Qingwen's age really looks different every day, but she hasn't seen her for more than three months, and she feels that she has become more beautiful again.

Slender arms and slender legs, hibiscus like faces and willows like eyebrows.

Water snake waist, slashed shoulders, the most standard beauty.

"Second Master, what are you looking at!"

Because Qingwen was born in Jia's mother's place, she was raised by Jia Lian these years, and she was allowed to wander around all day long.Moreover, everyone in any room gave the people behind her a bit of disrespect, which made her almost become the boss of Rongguo Mansion.

Even in Jia Mu's room, she can come at any time.Therefore, she calculated that after Jia Lian went to see Jia Zheng, there was a high probability that she would come to see Jia's mother, so she went here as an outpost in advance, hoping to find a chance to talk to Jia Lian.

After all, her calculations were correct.

It's just that when she faced Jia Lian alone, especially when she was stared at by Jia Lian so directly, she became shy again, afraid that Jia Lian would do something shameful to her in public.

What was she afraid of? As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jia Lian bending over to hug her. She was so frightened that she immediately dodged, but it was not as good as the premeditated Jia Lian. Sitting in arms.

"What are you doing, it's sunny, someone saw..."

Qingwen pushed Jia Lian a few times and protested.

"What are you afraid of? No one in the Mansion knows that you are my little wife. It's only natural for men to hug their little wives. Even if they are seen, it's nothing."

Jia Lian just talks nonsense, but in fact he is also worried about being seen.Ordinary maids and daughter-in-laws are okay, if they are seen by Sanchun and others, it will have a bad influence.

It's just that he hasn't seen this girl for a long time, and he feels strange in his heart, and remembers that when he got this girl at the beginning of the year, he carried her back to his yard in the same way, so this kind of thought came to his heart.

Anyway, it was only a few steps away, so Jia Lian looked around and walked directly to his courtyard with his baby girl in his arms.

Seeing this, Qingwen knew that it was useless to resist, so she could only accept her fate and let Jia Lian hold her.

But she is just like Jia Lian in her heart, and she is not afraid of being seen.She even thought that it would be better to be seen by other maids, so that they would know her position in the second master's heart.

Ever since she was questioned by Jia's mother and other people knew that she stayed by Jia Lian's side for several years and was still innocent, her "old face" was completely lost, and some people who were jealous of her even secretly chewed and made up her words There are many.

Why her character doesn't please Jia Lian, what's more, she has a physical defect, so she is disgusted by Jia Lian! !
It's really tolerable, my aunt can't bear it.

As long as they know that the second master is like this, and condescendingly hug her for a walk, it is guaranteed that they will be so envious and jealous that they will never be able to say those words again.

Because in Manfu, apart from her, no other woman has this honor.Well, Missy doesn't count.

So, half shy, half joyful, Qingwen put her arms around Jia Lian's neck, leaned into his ear while walking, and spoke privately.

The left and right are nothing more than some children's feelings and parents' short-sightedness, plus a little bit of complaints and informants.For example, did Jia Lian like the new and dislike the old, because she went to Lixiangyuan to see those "music and art teachers" in person under Wang Xifeng's order, and they were all first-class beauties.

Jia Lian took it as a pleasure to listen to these words of the little beauty.

When he got to the courtyard, he put her down. As soon as he approached the main room, he heard Sister Feng's voice coming from the hall.

"Ping'er, what do you think is in these boxes? They are so heavy that I can't even move them..."

"Your second master is getting more and more mysterious, and even locked it up with a lock."

"How about you go get a hammer and we'll pick the lock?"

"No, it's not good...Second Mistress, just wait a little longer, and you'll know when Second Master comes back."

When Jia Lian heard this, she smiled slightly, and then opened the door curtain and went in.

Sure enough, Sister Feng was standing in the middle of the pile of boxes, bent over, resting her chin with one hand, frowning with a look of overflowing curiosity.

Seeing him enter the door, he hastily greeted him, and said with a smile, "You're back, what is the master looking for you for?"

"It's just something out there and in the garden."

As she said that, Jia Lian squinted at her, and said with a smile, "I just heard in a daze that someone was going to pick my lock. Why, I haven't cleaned it up for a few months, and someone's skin is itchy again."

"Go, go, what a treasure, I'm afraid people will see it. If you don't want me to see it, it's fine, who cares about it!"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but glared at Jia Lian.

Ping'er in the room and Qingwen who followed in snickered when they saw this.

It's just because they have all witnessed what the second master said about cleaning up with their own eyes.Hehehe, the domineering and lawless Second Mistress Lian was spanked by the second master on her lap. It was both funny and gratifying.

Jia Lian sat on the nanmu chair in the main hall and waved to Ping'er.

Ping'er didn't know why, so he came over anyway.I saw Jia Lian lift the hem of his robe, revealing three small keys tied inside.

"The third one, take it off and give it to her. I really don't want her to see it. She might feel like a cat's paw scratching her heart."

Hearing this, Ping'er laughed, bowed Yingying, stretched out a pair of pure white hands, and untied the key from Jia Lian's waist to Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows, "Just a key?"

"Otherwise, how many do you want?"

Wang Xifeng didn't speak anymore, she had already discovered that those copper locks were of a brand-new unified standard, but she didn't expect that there was really only one key.From this point of view, it should be the same thing, what is it?

Happily turning around to open the box, I heard that Jia Lian ordered Qingwen to close the door.

"Is it necessary to be so mysterious?"

Muttering something, Wang Xifeng became even more curious, knelt down on the spot, and opened a box.

"what!"

"ah!!"

As Jia Lian expected, successive sounds of surprise sounded out.

Accompanied by this astonishing voice, and from the box, the gorgeous light reflected on Wang Xifeng's beautiful face.

Wang Xifeng's hands trembled, and even her pupils shrank. After being stunned for a second, she couldn't wait to reach out to check.

Not to mention her, even Qingwen, who just turned around after closing the door, ran over at a fast pace.

Ping'er also wanted to go there, but Jia Lian held her hand and sat in Jia Lian's arms without paying attention.

"Father..."

"Why are you in a hurry, things don't run away, I'll go see them later, let me kiss and kiss first."

Jia Lian had been moved by the appearance of his concubine when Ping'er took the key from his waist, so he didn't care about Ping'er's tweaking, turned around and hugged her and kissed her.His arms also held her body tightly.

"It turned out to be true!"

On the other hand, Wang Xifeng didn't pay attention to the person Jia Lian was bullying her at all, she was all focused on the box in front of her.

It's because the boxes are all in one color, and they are all filled with the same standard, exquisite trapezoidal small gold bricks!
She picked up a piece almost instinctively, put it near her mouth, and bit it with her front teeth.

The familiar hardness made her immediately sure that Jia Lian was not teasing her, it was real gold, more real than gold!
Turning her head and glanced at Jia Lian, although she immediately found Ping'er "struggling" in Jia Lian's arms, she didn't have time to worry about it.Opening Qingwen's "dirty" hand, she picked up a piece and bit it, then immediately turned her head and lowered her voice, turning her head and asking like a thief: "Where did you get so much gold? The rest Are those boxes, too?"

Jia Lian seemed to be able to hear Wang Xifeng's beating heartbeat several times away.

"Isn't it? You'll know if you open it and have a look."

Jia Lian still looked so calm, as if the whole box of gold bricks, which the world would place insanely when they saw it, was nothing more than idleness in his eyes.

Sister Feng didn't care about Jia Lian's attitude anymore, she immediately walked to the door of the room, first closed the latch that Qingwen had not inserted firmly, then glanced outside through the window for a few times, and then walked back again.

Glancing at Qingwen, she took a deep breath, walked to a box next to her, and opened the lock.

Xu was a little too excited, and it took twice as long as before to barely open the second box.

Ding……

Although it was silent, the three women in the room seemed to have heard the sound of gold and stone colliding.

Qingwen was stunned, and Ping'er also sat in Jia Lian's arms and did not move. Only Wang Xifeng looked at the box that was almost exactly the same as before with a flushed face, and immediately stepped aside to continue enjoying the pleasure of opening the box.

After opening all the boxes one after another, Wang Xifeng couldn't bear it anymore, sat down on the ground, and murmured: "It's all gold..."

At this time, where does she still have the prestige of Lian's Second Mistress, and where does she still have the dignity of Mrs. Hou Ye?It's like a beggar who is about to starve to death, seeing hot meat buns.

But among the three people present, only Jia Lian silently laughed at her once, and the other two maids, neither Ping'er nor Qingwen, paid any attention to Sister Feng.

One of them covered her cherry mouth, and the other opened her bright eyes, both of them looked very shocked.

Seeing that they were really stunned, Jia Lian smiled inwardly, turned Ping'er's face away, and kissed her red lips.

Ping'er didn't pretend to be reserved at this time, she responded enthusiastically.After noticing Jia Lian's deep kiss, he stuck out his tongue to respond.

Because she knew Wang Xifeng so well, she wouldn't care too much about whatever Jia Lian did at this time.

Wang Xifeng turned her head to look at them, and frowned, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she got up and checked one box after another. After confirming that all the gold should be real, she took out two pieces of gold and held them in her hands. Then he closed all the boxes and walked up to Jia Lian.

After Jia Lian took advantage enough and let go of Ping'er, she looked at the gold bricks in her hand and asked in shock: "Where did all these gold come from? Could it be that the rumors are true, are you really... ..."

Wang Xifeng's eyes were already bright and bright, but at this moment they continuously projected a dazzling brilliance.

Although he knew that Wang Xifeng was a money fan, Jia Lian couldn't help but shook his head seeing her behavior like this, pulled her to sit on the other lap, and said with a smile, "Oh, what rumors did you hear?"

"That's right, some people said that you took the opportunity to corrupt ink in Yangzhou by doing business for the imperial court, blackmailed those salt merchants, and even killed people..."

Wang Xifeng's voice was low, as if afraid of being heard by others.

Jia Lian was a little surprised, he didn't expect that even Sister Feng got wind of it, it seems that Emperor Ningkang really didn't lie to him, the courtiers must have started to attack him when he was still in Yangzhou.

"Then do you believe those words? Look at me, I look like a greedy person?" Jia Lian raised Sister Feng's face with one hand and asked jokingly.

Sister Feng subconsciously shook her head, she knew that Jia Lian was "indifferent to fame and fortune", and she used to complain that Jia Lian spent a lot of money and was generous to some irrelevant people.

But the facts are in front of us.If Jia Lian was not greedy, where did the gold come from?

She checked it carefully, and that one box was at least two or three thousand taels of gold...a total of ten boxes!
How much does this have to be.

Wang Xifeng felt that she was going to faint.She was born in the Wang family of the four major families, and she is still the eldest daughter. She is confident and knowledgeable, but she has never seen so much gold!
The most money she has seen is the silver deposits in the treasury of Rongguo Mansion.

But the dark silver nuggets sealed in those big and heavy black boxes are nothing compared to this shiny, brand-new gold bricks.

It's not even comparable to the numbers.

She silently calculated in her heart that so much gold must be worth at least 30 silver.

God, the things in the ten or so small wooden boxes in front of me are several times more than what she, plus Jia Lian, have earned through their concerted efforts over the years! !

This, nothing will happen...

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian worriedly.

She originally thought that she was a brave person, and that there was nothing she dared not do.If it weren't for Jia Lian controlling her, she would definitely not be as "honest" as she is now.

But at this moment, she once again deeply understood that compared with her own man, she was still weak.

No matter how conceited she is, she also knows that, given her 100 years, she may not be able to get so much gold!
But Jia Lian was immediately carried to her.

She was even afraid, the next moment, the Emperor's Jin Yiwei came to check on her man.

Jia Lian still felt quite normal and satisfied with Sister Feng's reaction.

But he still shook his head and said with a smile: "Could it be that you don't know that the Lin family's property is now in my hands?"

"So, all this gold belongs to Miss Lin and her family?"

Wang Xifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.It's not that she doesn't know about the Lin family's property, but in her opinion, even if the Lin family's property is rich, it will only be assets such as antique calligraphy and paintings, real estate title deeds and so on.

How could it be such neat gold bricks!

That's why she guessed that Jia Lian got it because of his greed for ink.Because she also heard people say that those salt merchants in Yangzhou are very rich.

I also heard from the edicts of other houses before that some courtiers talked about his man blackmailing the salt merchants, and all the salt merchants went to the capital to inform the police.

She was so taken aback at the time, but she showed complete disbelief on her face, and even scolded the tongue-twisting Yan Ming once.She always had doubts in her heart, so when she saw this huge amount of gold before, she became suspicious.

"Then, do you plan to...?"

Wang Xifeng looked up at Jia Lian with staring eyes, the look of anticipation in his eyes was really funny and cute.

From Sister Feng's point of view, no matter how the Lin family accumulated so much gold, since it was delivered to her...

Her brain has been fully activated, thinking about how to keep the gold in her hands.

Jia Lian saw through her thoughts at a glance, slapped her on the butt angrily, and cursed: "Don't think about those fancy intestines, since I gave you all the keys, I let you keep them.

But you can remember, all these golds were given to you by Sister Lin. From now on, if you treat her badly, how can you live with your conscience? "

Naturally, the gold would not belong to the Lin family.

All the property of the Lin family that he brought to Beijing was sealed up in the Lin family's courtyard.

These golds were all moved out of the Zhao family's secret room at the beginning, part of it.

As for how Jia Lian mixed them into the Lin family's property without anyone noticing, there is no need to elaborate.

In short, it is not difficult to extract more than 300 taels of gold bricks from the secret room of the Zhao family out of the massive wealth with a total base of [-] in Yangzhou.

As for those people who followed him into the secret room and knew the existence of gold bricks, they were humble and didn't know how Jia Lian's accounts were done.

Second, they each received enough benefits.It is not difficult to buy a few people who are already loyal to him.

In other words, even if they report themselves, Jia Lian is not afraid at all.This is why he dared to carry these boxes of gold back home.

Even if someone inspected it halfway and said it was the property of the Lin family, who would dare to question him?Detain him?
This batch of gold was originally cast and hidden by the Zhao family.

As for why this part was given to Sister Feng, one was as he said, to make Sister Feng think that she had received great benefits from Daiyu's family, so that she would treat Daiyu kindly in the future.

The second is to tell this stinky bitch to shut up and establish the family throne.

I couldn't be more clear about Jia Lian, Sister Feng's son.

That's why he held these golden things up in front of her eyes for her to see, instead of giving her a silver ticket directly.

Firstly, most of the banknotes in his hand were given to Princess Zhaoyang, and secondly, Wang Xifeng, a woman, is a typical money lover, and she likes yellow and white things the most.

Dangling a stack of papers in front of her, she is certainly excited, but why is it so dazzling and dazzling like real money?
