The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 533
When Jia Lian returned to the mansion, he went to see Daiyu first.

"Where did you go to drink again, making this man smell of alcohol?"

Daiyu personally brought Jia Lian a cup of hot tea to let Jia Lian sober up, and scolded him warmly.

"Today is Uncle Xue's birthday, my aunt invited me to have two glasses of wine with your sister Feng."

"Oh."

Daiyu understood, so she didn't care.Although I have never met this old man of the Xue family, I have heard of him quite a few times, and I know that he is a very bad person.

Suddenly realizing that Jia Lian was taking advantage of the time to pick up the tea, she even held her pair of jade hands. Daiyu's face was a little red, she pulled out her hands vigorously, and glared at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian chuckled, picked up the tea that still held the fragrance of Daiyu, and began to taste it in small sips.

He looked comfortable, his limbs were relaxed, and he just lay down on the chair so casually, anyone could see that he was in a good mood.

Daiyu suddenly felt that this scene was very warm.Although Lian's second brother couldn't accompany her all day long, every time he came to see her, he would do so with the best posture and the most relaxed mood, as if her place was his paradise, which made her very happy.

Walking to Jia Lian's side, he said with a smile, "Don't stay outside after drinking, go back and rest early."

Jia Lian didn't pay any attention, and continued to sip her tea. After a while, she put down her teacup, looked back at Daiyu who was frowning, and laughed.

"It's been so long since I've been back, why doesn't Sister Lin come to my yard?

Even if you don't want to look at me, your sister Feng misses you very much.She told me, I'm afraid you are angry with her, when you were free, you would come to our house occasionally.When I come back this time, I won't go there once, and every time she passes by the old lady's side, she will drop by to see you. "

After speaking, Daiyu was a little guilty, but also a little sentimental.

What Jia Lian said was the truth, the person who came to see her the most these days was not Jia Lian, but Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng would come to Jiamu's side every day, except that sometimes she could see Wang Xifeng when she was beside Jiamu, and from time to time, Wang Xifeng would also find time to come to her room.

Every time I come, I have to express my concern.

Although, she knew that Sister Feng had good intentions, because every time Sister Feng came to her room, she had a very good attitude towards her, greeting her with care.However, after more times, she still felt a little uncomfortable, and occasionally even felt bored.

She is such a person, she will be extra sensitive when she cares too much about others.

The main reason is that she knows that Sister Feng has no reason to treat her so well.Therefore, she couldn't help but wonder how much Sister Feng's concern for her was sincere, how much was fake, and how much was just for show.

Of course, even so, she is still grateful to Sister Feng in her heart, which is not contradictory.

Because, Sister Feng's attitude will at least not embarrass her, and it will make her feel inferior to Sister Feng.

So, occasionally she wanted to go to Sister Feng's Children's Hospital to see Jia Lian, but she held back.

She didn't want Sister Feng to think that she wanted to compete with her for favor, she didn't bother to do such a thing.Anyway, Lian's second brother promised himself that no matter how busy he was, he would visit her at least once every two days.

Although Daiyu didn't answer his question, just from the change in her expression, Jia Lian also guessed that she was a bit cautious.

He stood up, gently held Daiyu in his arms, and said softly, "Silly girl, you just think too much. In fact, your sister Feng is quite a nice person. If you don't believe me, you might as well listen to me. Try to get along with her.

It's not forcing you, but you think about it, as a sister, she takes the initiative to please you, if you avoid her, won't it appear that you are not as magnanimous as her?Of course, if she bullies you, you can just tell me, and I will clean her up for you. "

Daiyu hammered Jia Lian's chest twice. Seeing that Jia Lian wouldn't let her go, she managed to calm herself down and said hastily, "Who says I'm avoiding Sister Feng? I just don't want to see you..."

Daiyu blurted out.Indeed, she didn't go to Sister Feng's Children's Hospital, not only because she didn't want to see Sister Feng face to face, but also because she didn't want people to think that she was always looking for Jia Lian.

She knew that although Jia's mother and others did not allow them to talk about her and Jia Lian's affairs, there were still quite a few people in the house who knew about it.

She was just engaged and hadn't married yet, so she didn't want people to think that she, Daiyu from the Lin family, was not self-respecting enough.

So, in order to refute Jia Lian's words, she said this.But when she said it, she regretted it again. Jia Lian loved her so much. Would she hurt Jia Lian's heart if she said that?
But she obviously worried too much. Instead of getting angry, Jia Lian coaxed her and said, "Okay, okay, I know you don't want to see me, then the next time you go to see your sister Feng, Xiangling and the little eldest sister, I will run away." How about hiding in the backyard?"

When Daiyu heard Jia Lian's reply, she didn't speak for a while, but Jia Lian noticed that Daiyu's arms that were placed on his sides suddenly lifted up, wrapped around his waist, and then tightened a little.

Jia Lian was very satisfied, and felt that his level of coaxing Daiyu had improved again.Look at this reaction, obviously very satisfied with his answer, maybe even touched.

It's just that before Jia Lian could enjoy Daiyu's tenderness for a moment, she saw Daiyu forcefully break free from him, with a faint look on her graceful and dexterous face.

"You should go back, let Zijuan see you off."

Daiyu turned sideways and preached like this.

Knowing Daiyu's concerns, Jia Lian also felt that the meaning of coming tonight had been fulfilled, so she also planned to leave, but she rejected Daiyu's proposal to arrange for someone to send her off.

The "street lights" (lanterns on the turrets) in Rongguo Mansion were not extinguished until the third watch, or before the masters rested, so Jia Lian didn't have to worry about going dark.

"I'll go to your yard tomorrow or later to have a look. You just have to sit in the house openly and don't need to hide in the backyard."

Daiyu's sudden voice was brisk and playful, but when Jia Lian turned her head, Daiyu had already turned around and walked to the kang, picked up a book that had been thrown on it and looked at it for herself.

So Jia Lian answered "Yes" with a smile, turned around and left without bothering her anymore.

When he walked outside, he happened to bump into Zijuan. Jia Lian was about to say or do something habitually, but saw Zijuan bowed to him, and then bent down with extremely softness, cleverly avoiding him went to the house.

Jia Lian was taken aback. Didn't this girl like to tease him before, saying that he was their girl's holy medicine for healing?
Looking back, Jia Lian couldn't help curling her lips when she saw Zicuckoo's quick small steps, and walked towards Jiamu's room with strides.

I don't usually come to see the old lady, it can be said that I am too busy, and the old lady also explained that there is no need to come to pay her respects, but now I have arrived at the Rongqing Hall, if I only see Daiyu and don't go to see the old man, it will seem like nothing. wrong.

Jia's mother was already planning to take a rest at this time, but when she saw Jia Lian coming to say hello, she still asked a few words.

"Did you go to see your sister Lin just now?"

"Yes...the main reason is that I haven't greeted the old lady for two days, so I stopped by to have a look at her."

"lie."

Jia's mother chuckled and didn't care about Jia Lian.

In terms of common sense, she is still very good.Moreover, Jia Lian was kind to Daiyu, which she was happy to see, and it was not in vain for her to give Jia Lian her sweetheart.

From an emotional point of view, Sister Feng is just a granddaughter-in-law who she thinks is good and can make her happy, but Daiyu is different, she is a direct granddaughter who is related to her by blood.

If she was really asked to choose between Sister Feng and Daiyu, she would choose to side with Daiyu.

In fact, this is what Sister Feng was most worried about when she found out that Daiyu and Jia Lian were engaged.It was only later that I slowly figured out that Mother Jia is getting old, and it is a problem to live for a few more years. Moreover, she is now Mrs. Hou Ye, with her own confidence, and she is not as afraid and awed by Jia as she used to be. mother.

She also saw that Jia Lian was a bit drunk, so she didn't let Jia Lian stay any longer, she looked around twice, and when she saw the mandarin ducks coming in, she ordered, "It's late at night, call two people and see him off."

Yuanyang took the order, without any expression on his face, immediately went down to prepare, and then took two servants to escort Jia Lian back with a lantern.

There was no words all the way, Yuanyang just politely illuminated him from the side, Jia Lian turned her head and looked at her a few times, apart from feeling that this little girl is the kind who looks better the more she looks, she also clearly sensed that she has something on her mind.

Thinking about it, I held hands with other little girls, hugged them, and even almost kissed them.

But in the past few days since I came back, I haven't had a chance to speak to her.In this way, it is normal for people to have resentment in their hearts.

So when he was about to walk to the gate of the courtyard, Jia Lian stopped suddenly, walked over with Yuanyang's guarded look, reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "No need to send it off, go back. Serve the old lady well, there will always be One day, I will have someone carry you from the old lady's house to mine."

When Jia Lian said this, Yuanyang's face turned red, like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, and hurriedly took a step back, blushing and afraid to answer.

In the back, the two maids who saw their posture clearly laughed with chrysanthemums all over their faces.

It's not very surprising, they are all from Jia Mu's courtyard, so they naturally know the status of Yuanyang in front of Jia Mu.

From the fact that Jia's mother was willing to let Yuanyang take Jia Lian home in person, one can get a glimpse of Jia's mother's thoughts.

Jia Lian glanced back at the two women, gave them a majestic look, then turned around, stretched out his hand to pinch Yuanyang's cheek again, but didn't care if he didn't, turned around with a smile and strode into the room. courtyard.

As soon as he left, the two servants hurriedly congratulated Yuanyang.

"Look at Second Master's posture, but he has fallen in love with Miss Yuanyang. In the future, Miss Yuanyang will become the aunt in Second Master's house, so don't forget to support and support us."

"It's more than just falling in love. I think the second master likes the mandarin duck girl very much. In the future, the mandarin duck girl will be honored and favored in the second master's house. I'm afraid she will have more status than in the old lady's house."

"That's right, I've seen that Yuanyang girl is a person with profound blessings, as expected."

The words of these two maids made Yuanyang blush even more.Reining in her mind, she said sternly: "Sister-in-laws, don't talk nonsense, the second master just said it casually, how can it be taken seriously."

He retorted casually, and Yuanyang, who knew how powerful Sister Feng was, felt that it might not be a good thing for Jia Lian's words to reach her ears tonight, so he half asked, half threatened to say to the two wives: "Second Master is the master. , Sometimes it is inevitable to act casually, but I am an old lady, so I hope that the two sister-in-laws will not spread the word about what happened just now. You all know the temper of the second master. He doesn't like it the most. The servant who chews his tongue..."

"Don't worry, girl, how dare we chew on the root of Second Master's tongue, just now Second Master glared at us and almost scared our souls out.

So don't worry, Aunt Yuanyang, we will keep our mouth shut about what happened just now. "

Seeing that the two maids were friendly, Yuanyang felt relieved, and looked back at Sister Feng's nursery, but she couldn't help her heart pounding again.

Jia Lian suddenly stopped and looked at her before, making her think that Jia Lian was going to belittle her again.

Who knows, Jia Lian just patted her head and gave her a definite promise, which made her shy and moved.

The second master is busy with important affairs, yet he still has such delicate thoughts... He must have seen his own thoughts, so he deliberately comforted her like this.

It's such a good feeling to be valued.

……

But when Jia Lian came home, Ping'er and the nanny were playing with the little eldest sister in the house.

The little eldest sister is almost two years old. Not only can she walk by herself, but she can also speak more clearly.Seeing Jia Lian coming in, the little guy's eyes lit up, and while staggering towards Jia Lian, he happily pulled Jia Lian's trouser legs and called out, "Daddy, Daddy~!"

Jia Lian was so relieved that he bent down and hugged her up. Seeing his daughter's face becoming more pink and jade-like, and her face like gold and jade, she smiled and said "eh" several times, which made the little guy giggle, and even more so. It's not enough to make Jia Lian happy.

The two intimate scenes of father and daughter moved Ping'er and Nanny very much, and they showed knowing smiles.

After being teased by Jia Lian for a while, the young lady suddenly thought of something, clapped her hands and said, "Daddy, go out and play with windmills."

Although the little girl's words were not complete, she expressed her meaning very well.She pointed to a windmill made of paper on the table, and pointed to the outside of the gate. It was easy to understand that she wanted Jia Lian to take her out to play with the windmill.

Ping'er knew that Jia Lian had just returned from drinking at Xue's house, and upon seeing this, he quickly said to the little elder sister, "Be good, elder sister. Daddy has had a drink and can't go out with you. Let Xiaohong accompany you, okay?"

The little eldest sister frowned, and immediately raised her head to Jia Lian, sniffing gently.

The slight smell of alcohol was also very irritating to the young lady, so the young lady hurriedly said goodbye and replied to Ping'er: "Okay, listen to Auntie. Daddy smells bad, wait for him to take a bath before letting him go." He's playing with Big Sister!"

Ping'er took the little sister out of Jia Lian's arms, and called Xiaohong, and asked Xiaohong and her nanny to play in the yard with the little sister.

Seeing that Ping'er had arranged all these in a few moments, and the young lady was very obedient and cooperative, Jia Lian couldn't help laughing and said, "I can't tell, the little girl is quite obedient to you."

Ping'er, who was helping Jia Lian to stand up and undress him, smiled.The little girl really listened to her, and this was due to Sister Feng, maybe it was to flatter her, or maybe it was to make her take care of the little eldest sister more wholeheartedly. "Aunt Ping".It's just that it's inconvenient for the little girl to distinguish, and she likes to be called aunt directly.

Children also have good eyesight, because Ping'er speaks exactly what he says in the courtyard, even the nurse who spends most of his time with the little eldest sister every day and the two little maids who take care of her are obedient in front of Ping'er.As time passed, the little eldest sister naturally knew that Aunt Ping was a big shot, and everyone was afraid of her.

As a result, apart from being afraid of Sister Feng, the little girl listened to Ping'er the most, which was not even comparable to her wet nurse.

"Why hasn't grandma come back yet?" Ping'er asked.

"She went to talk to Mrs. Qin, and she probably won't be back in a while."

"Oh."

Ping'er took off Jia Lian's coat, rolled his eyes, and suddenly leaned over to Jia Lian's ear, jokingly said: "Second Master is very powerful today, Second Master must be very proud of Grandma Xiaorong's appearance. "

Ok?
Jia Lian turned her head to look at Ping'er who suddenly became enchanting, a little surprised.

Ping'er has always been very solemn and self-restraining, this is still rare, teasing him outside the bed.

Jia Lian, who wanted to see what she wanted to do, just stood still and replied, "It's okay."

Such a Versailles appearance naturally made Ping'er smile leisurely, put his hand on Jia Lian's shoulder, turned to the other ear and asked: "Ping'er is just curious, how did the second master convince the second grandma?
I saw the second grandma at noon, she didn't seem to be angry at all. "

Jia Lian chuckled, and didn't intend to hide this concubine's reassuring behavior, and said bluntly: "What else can I say, just say that I regard Xiao Qin as you. Originally, your second grandma shouldn't treat her as a concubine." Staying in the house to sleep, in the end it was cheap for me, who can she blame?"

Ping'er's face turned red slightly, although he guessed so, but when he really heard Jia Lian say that she was using her as an excuse, he still couldn't help giving Jia Lian a blank look.

Kneeling down, he continued to untie Jia Lian's trousers, while muttering to himself, "Second Master, does he know that after Second Master went out at noon, Second Mistress interrogated me."

"Oh?"

"Second Grandma asked me, when Second Master came back, he would see me.

The second grandma suspected that the second master had lied.If Second Master saw me when he came back, it would be impossible for him to mistake Grandma Xiao Rong for me again. "

When Jia Lian heard this, her heart tightened slightly.

I forgot about this one.Sure enough, Sister Feng is not easy to deceive, she pretended to believe in herself completely, but turned around and interrogated Ping'er, how cunning!

However, since he didn't bother him later, it was always Ping'er who helped him lie, because he asked, "How did you answer?"

Ping'er raised his head, raised his eyebrows coquettishly, and said with a smile: "Second Master, don't worry, I said that I accidentally fell asleep, and I didn't see Second Master at all, and I didn't talk to Second Master, let alone know, Second Master What did you do when you sneaked into the house..."

Jia Lian smiled. Sure enough, this girl is very smart. Even if she has never confessed to him, she can still handle Sister Feng. She is a good girl.

Ping'er stripped Jia Lian down to a short trousers robe, then stood up and stared at Jia Lian with a smile.

"I don't know, I was nervous at that time, I was afraid that if I answered a wrong word, it would make the Second Mistress suspicious and ruin my great affairs.

Slave helped the second master so much, how can the master thank me. "

Jia Lian chuckled, hugged Ping'er, and said with a smile: "You have helped me a lot, and I really should thank you very much.

But your father doesn't have anything, why don't you promise him with your body? "

While talking, he picked up Ping'er horizontally and threw him on the bed, trying to repay her well.

Unexpectedly, Ping'er flaunted coquettishness, but flinched when she tried to be serious.

In a panic, she got up, tidied up her clothes, saw Jia Lian half lying on the bed and looked at her with a smile, she laughed again: "That's not okay, it's clearly a pleasure for the Lord, how can I thank me."

"Oh, what does Miss Ping want?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet, why don't I remember it first, how about asking Master to honor the benefits when I make up my mind someday?"

Jia Lian looked at this concubine with a clean and beautiful face, fair complexion, and plump body, and suddenly felt that she became more lively and interesting.

So there is no disagreement, and he replied with a smile: "Okay, as long as you don't want to rebel and take your second grandma's position, I will take care of you."

"Then remember it well, don't deny it when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, Ping'er rolled Jia Lian's eyes, and hurriedly went out to fetch water.
