The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 54

Jia Lian was not surprised at Zhao Nanny's request.

Brother, brother, was originally a natural follower by the side of our young masters.

Naturally, Jia Lian would not be ignorant of the existence of these two milk brothers, but Jia Lian really looked down on the two brothers Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong!

Listening to the name is a good name, but unfortunately, they are obviously tarnished.

Jia Lian knew all about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and domineering and bullying other servants in the mansion.Moreover, they dared to do this obviously because of their relationship with Jia Lian!
In my heart, I didn't really want to talk to these two brothers, but now that Mommy Zhao has begged him, I have to give Mommy Zhao a favor.

It just so happens that such a useless guy should be kept under his nose, so as not to ruin his reputation elsewhere.If they are really difficult to teach, keep them by your side, and if you find out that they have done illegal things in the future, you can just get rid of them at once, so as to avoid future troubles forever.

"What mother said is simple. After mother returns, she will tell the two elder brothers to come and find me in my study tomorrow afternoon."

After hearing that Jia Lian agreed so happily, she was very happy and immediately got up to thank Jia Lian.

Jia Lian hurriedly asked her to sit down.

Wang Xifeng also smiled at the right time: "My mother should help me with this matter. Speaking of it, I am not worth it for my mother. Why did I nurse him like this? I don't know how to remember my mother. With that benefit , I don’t know how to subsidize my own family, but to subsidize the outsider.

Take this trip to the south of the Yangtze River as an example, he just took the silver and stuffed those mud legs like he didn't want money, why did he completely forget about his two nurse brothers? "

"Grandma, don't say that. It's hard enough for my brother to go to the south of the Yangtze River this time. How can he think so much? If he can do the errands assigned by the old lady, he is already very capable. I went to the old lady's house earlier. Here, the old lady even praised our brother." Zhao Momo laughed.

After laughing and chatting for a while, Jia Lian also had dinner, put down the chopsticks, and seeing that Madam Zhao was about to get up, she hurriedly said with a smile: "Although mother is drinking, don't pay attention to me, I always eat faster."

Zhao Momo also sat down and said with a smile: "I heard from grandma that my brother brought this wine from Yangzhou? I ate very well, so I drank two more cups. I am old, and I am not usually old. drinking."

Wang Xifeng often comes here for business, upon hearing this, he immediately said: "Ping'er, you order someone to move out the whole jar from the backyard, and then send two boys to deliver it to Mother Zhao's home."

"How does this make..."

"It's okay, just treat him as a son who respects you when you are old."

Jia Lian looked at it with a smile, Wang Xifeng's handling of these matters was indeed very beautiful.

Sitting on the side and drank half a cup of tea, and waited for Mammy Zhao to finish eating, before asking: "It's rare that my mother came here today, but there is something I would like to ask for advice."

"Brother, tell me quickly." The purpose of coming in today was fulfilled, and she got another jar of good wine. Mother Zhao was very happy, and when she heard Jia Lian had something to ask, she immediately wiped her mouth.

But Jia Lian asked with a smile: "Mother, do you know what the state of Linzibo's mansion, that is, my maternal ancestor's house, is like, and how did the two families become like this?"

"This……"

Zhao Nanny glanced at Wang Xifeng, seeming a bit embarrassed.

Jia Lian asked all the girls to go down, and then she heard Mother Zhao say, "If someone else asks this question, I won't dare to say it again, but now that my brother asks, I will talk too much."

Nanny Zhao raised her head, seemingly lost in memory:
"Speaking of my brother's grandfather's family, it is a new family.

Ever since your grandfather was granted the title of Linzibo, the family has been thriving, and we have some friendship with our father-in-law. In the first few years, we often came and went.

only……

Presumably my brother also knows that our two families have not been in contact for almost ten years, do you know why? "

Wang Xifeng, who came back after packing up her things, was also a little curious when she heard the words: "I'm also surprised, it's clearly our wife's natal family, why have I never seen anyone from their family in the two years since I was married, and ours also Never go to their house.

I felt strange, and I had asked others in private, but others were also hemming and hawing, so I didn't dare to ask more.

Mom knows what's going on? "

Zhao Nanny sighed again: "Speaking of this matter, we have to start with my wife marrying into our family.

At first, it was because of the personal relationship between the two masters that they made a marriage agreement.

It's just the old man's temper, brother and grandma also know that he always does his own way and is very domineering, how can he tolerate others' restraint and advice?
But the wife was born in the general family, and she is also a bit stubborn, and she is not willing to blindly accommodate the elder.

Especially brother Hu's elder brother, after brother Hu died young, his wife became depressed and ill.The old man was still like that, he didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife at all, and there were two troubles.

At first, with the Duke of the State there, the Elder Master would be able to be honest for a while after being beaten with sticks, but after a while, the Duke of the State also went, and no one could control the Elder Master.

After only two years, his wife died of a disease. "

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were a little silent. They had heard some of these inside stories, but they didn't go into details.

Sure enough, Wang Momo continued: "This is not the most important thing. The elder brother's grandfather's family is not completely unreasonable. It is not because of this that we will never get in touch with our family. Although they are very critical of the wife's death. , but also helpless.

Things come from behind.

I don't know why, it seems to be a note written by my wife before I was alive, but somehow it ended up in my brother's grandparent's house. I heard that there are many bad things about the old man recorded on it, so I am completely annoyed.

Your uncle has a bad temper. Because of this matter, he came to question the old man, and the two had a conflict. It seemed that brother's uncle beat the old man. The old man got angry and asked someone to beat your uncle out of the house. up. "

Jia Lian and the others didn't know about this inside story, so they all understood. No wonder the relationship between the two families is like this.

It's not difficult to understand at all, Jia Amnesty who is not under the control of Jia Daishan, has taken over the title again, who else is in his eyes?You can also do the thing of beating your brother-in-law.

It's an indescribable feeling, with a person like Jia She in the booth, the people around him don't want to feel better at all.

Jia Lian also felt embarrassed. Looking at it this way, it is very difficult to recognize this relative again.As long as Jia Amnesty survived for a day, the anger of the grandfather's family would not disappear for a day.

But to give up at this point, Jia Lian was a little unwilling.The sky is big and the earth is big, and my uncle is the biggest. If Jia Lian wants to make a career, he needs the support of his mother's family, because that is his own power!

Just like Wang Ziteng, although he is Wang Xifeng's uncle, he is also Mrs. Wang's elder brother, and the uncle of Jia Baoyu and others!

If Wang Ziteng had to choose between him and Jia Baoyu, I'm afraid Wang Ziteng would be very embarrassed.

Who knows that the matter is not over yet, Mammy Zhao paused for a long time, and continued: "After Brother and Uncle was beaten out, although he put down his harsh words, he didn't come to pester him again afterwards, everyone thought the matter was over like this.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the old man went out to meet friends, but he was surrounded by his brother's grandfather and his own soldiers. He dragged the old man out of the carriage on the street, and beat the old man viciously with the whip I smoked..."

Both Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were astonished, and there was such a thing, they could only say, well drawn!

It turned out that Jia Amnesty had not only been beaten by the father-in-law of the old country, but also beaten by his father-in-law.

However, could this be the reason why Jia She likes to beat him?

"After the old man recovered from his injuries, he lost his temper and smashed everything in the room...

Since then, the two families have no contact with each other.

The second master wanted to restore the old relationship between the two families. He once came to see the old man with a heavy gift, but unfortunately he didn't even go in. "

Jia Zheng is very popular in the court. It can be said that if Jia Amnesty inherits the title of the old Duke, then Jia Zheng will inherit the connections of the old Duke.

People in the imperial court gave Jia Zheng a little face, and even those with equal status respectfully called Jia Zheng "Political Elder" in person.

Uncle Linzi's mansion didn't even sell Jia Zheng's face, which shows its decisive attitude, alas, it's difficult.

Wang Xifeng could see what Jia Lian meant by inquiring about this matter, and she gave Jia Lian a meaningful smile at this moment.

Small sample, but also want to stand on their own...

But her curiosity has been aroused, she still asked: "You said earlier that their family is prosperous. I don't know exactly how to prosper. I just heard that his two uncles are officials in the court." Woolen cloth."

Zhao Nanny immediately said: "It's not in front of the official, the official is not young!
Not to mention that the old man of their family is still alive, but the wife's two elder brothers are also more promising than the other.

My brother, his uncle, inherited the old man's ways, served in the army, and now he has become a general. I heard that there is a town in the northwest or northeast, and it is the commander-in-chief who guards it!

His second uncle is also great, and he is still in the capital. I heard that he is working in the ministry. The official is bigger than our second master. I don’t remember clearly if he is a servant or something. Know. "

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Second uncle is already a doctor in the military department, two ranks higher than the master."

"Tsk tsk tsk, grandma, look, isn't this Xingwang's family? It's said that the brothers who fight the tiger are father and son soldiers. With these two brothers in their family, I'm afraid there will be at least 30 to [-] years of wealth."

Mother Zhao sighed very much, even Wang Xifeng was a little surprised, fortunately the two families have stopped dealing with each other, otherwise the unscrupulous would have to bully her even more with this help!
