The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 55 Getting Started
Now that the source of the conflict between the two families has been clarified, Jia Lian has no reason not to act.

Left and right are just a touch of dust, and it's not shameful to bump into my grandparents' house.

Anyway, this matter, no matter how you look at it, is the Jia family's fault, and in other words, how angry the grandfather's family is, it proves how much they love and care for their daughter, younger sister, his biological mother.From this direction, if he can get the approval of his grandfather's family, he will be more likely to be taken seriously.

But in this matter, we have to pay attention to the method and method, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

After careful preparation for more than ten days, the old man's [-]th birthday has arrived, and the Jia family did not receive the invitation as usual.

Arriving at Zhang's house along the route that had been inquired about earlier, the carriage drove into the traffic that also came to celebrate the birthday, except for a young man who came to guide him, he did not attract other attention.

Jia Lian could hear the lively sounds coming from around him, and occasionally some loud and hearty congratulations and greetings, Jia Lian lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Sure enough, it was the Xingwang House, and there was an endless stream of guests coming to celebrate the birthday at the front gate.

Finding a gap, Jia Lian greeted Zhang Yong and Zhao'er, who were carrying birthday gifts, and the concierge who was in charge of the registration smiled and said welcome, while asking which distinguished guest it was.

"Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian."

The inquiring concierge didn't notice the surprised eyes raised by his companions, so he wrote with a pen and sang: "Rongguo Mansion is here..."

Since the other party didn't want to check the invitation, Jia Lian would not be troublesome, so he put down the birthday gift and led the people to the gate.

"stop."

A young son came down from the door with his head tilted, and asked suspiciously, "Are you from the Rongguo Mansion?"

"Exactly."

The young master's complexion changed suddenly, and he immediately showed a vicious look, and stood in front of Jia Lian with his hips crossed: "You go, we don't welcome you in our family!"

The sudden change caused some people who had not yet entered the door to stop, which was very strange.

After all, in the entire capital, it is still rare to stop people who come to celebrate birthdays from the door.

There were also one or two people who seemed to be aware of the grievances between the two families, and they all showed smiles watching the show.

Jia Lian didn't show any displeasure, looked the boy up and down, and said with a smile, "This is cousin Tao, I haven't seen him for many years, and he's grown up so much? I'm here to congratulate Grandpa on his birthday today." Shou, Cousin Tao shut me out, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Zhang Tao was sure that no one from the Rongguo Mansion was invited at home, so let it be fine that the other party came uninvited, and talked to him in an elder tone, which made him even more angry.

"Who is your cousin! We don't have your relatives in our family, you go away, don't force me to do it!"

As Zhang Tao said, he was going to drive Jia Lian away.He didn't want to disturb grandpa's birthday because of irrelevant people!

Sure enough, this is the real general's son, if he is not satisfied, he will do it directly.

Although Jia Lian also knew that the other party didn't mean to hit him, but just wanted to push him away, Jia Lian would not let the other party touch him.

He stood still at first, but when the opponent pushed his hand, he tilted his body slightly, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and moved back.

Zhang Tao didn't expect Jia Lian to move so fast and lose his balance in an instant, so he jumped excitedly towards the stone ground in front of him.

"Third Lord...!"

The surrounding servants of the Zhang family suddenly exclaimed, but before they could react, Jia Lian grabbed their third master's neck by the back of his neck, pulled his third master back with all his strength.They breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian looked at Zhang Tao who had just stood firm, and said with a smile: "I know that my cousin Tao hasn't seen me for many years, so I won't be so enthusiastic. I should hug my cousin when I come up. Okay, let's stop making trouble, and I have to go in to pay grandpa's birthday Woolen cloth."

Zhang Tao clutched his aching neck that was being strangled by his collar, and coughed lightly twice, already filled with anger in his heart.

Hearing Jia Lian laughing at him again, he was furious: "I hugged your mother, how dare I bully you, watch the punches~!"

It's not right to start a fight, scolding his mother is wrong. Jia Lian, who had turned around, was about to teach this stupefied boy a real lesson when he saw a refined young man rushing out of the gate.

"Brother Tao, don't stop!!"

After being yelled at by his brother, Zhang Tao seemed to realize what day it was today. He had already rushed behind Jia Lian, hesitated for a long time, but still didn't really let Jia Lian see his small fists.

The young man stopped his younger brother, and then hurriedly walked in front of Jia Lian, cupped his hands and said, "My younger brother is rude, I have offended you so much, please forgive me."

Jia Lian glanced at Zhang Tao, who was standing beside him, who kept attacking him with his eyes, and then at the young man in front of him.

He is also a handsome man, but compared with others, he is a little worse than him.

Yin clasped his hands back and saluted, and said with a smile: "Brother Su, you don't have to look outside like this. Cousin Tao just wanted to try my boxing skills. We are both born in the general family. This way of meeting is not unreasonable." strange."

Hearing Jia Lian call each cousin one by one, Zhang Su seemed to have understood Jia Lian's identity, but he still asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Little brother Jia Lian, I met Cousin Su."

Sure enough, it was him.Zhang Su finally decided on Jia Lian's position in his heart, but he couldn't help hesitating.

The other party was so polite, according to his self-cultivation, he should also reply with a polite word, which is the style of a gentleman, but the other party is Jia Lian!This made the words in his mouth reach his lips, and he couldn't even utter them.

Jia Lian was well aware of this, but pretended not to investigate, cupped his hands again and laughed, "My little brother came here today because he heard that grandpa's seventieth birthday was here, and he came here specially to pay homage to his old man's birthday. Cousin Su doesn't know how to prepare, so let him go." Little brother has been standing here, right?"

How many years older than Zhang Tao is Zhang Su, and he is no more reckless than Zhang Tao. Seeing that there are already several guests who came to celebrate his birthday, he knows that he can't continue to entangle himself, so he holds back other thoughts, cups his hands and replies: "Please ~"

Jia Lian smiled slightly, and replied "please", and then went to the gate with a smile.

"Brother~!" Behind him, Zhang Tao pulled Zhang Su's arm and stared at Jia Lian's back dissatisfied.

"Shut up, if you have any questions, wait until you report back to your father!"

Glaring at his younger brother quietly, Zhang Su put on a bright smile and stepped forward to welcome Jia Lian into the mansion in person.

So Zhang Tao could only keep his mouth shut and continue to stand at the door as his welcome lady.

……

After entering this door, half of today's goal has been achieved, and Jia Lian's mood can't help but brighten up.

After Zhao'er and Zhao'er were taken down by Zhang's servants to make other arrangements, Jia Lian turned back to Zhang Su and said, "I haven't been back for so many years, and my family is still as friendly as before. After paying my grandpa's birthday this time, I want to live here and not leave." gone."

Zhang Su was speechless for a while, why looked at such a tall and handsome person, but it was like a dog's skin plaster.

Back at home... If this is your home, what are we living here?
But having said that, when Jia Lian said this, he also remembered some things from his childhood.At that time, the relationship between the two families was pretty good, and my aunt often brought this cousin over for a short stay.Brother Tao was still young at that time, but he was about the same age as Jia Lian, so he was able to play well, and he did a few things that are childish and ridiculous when I think about it now, but they are also quite childish...

It's a pity that things are different, and in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and the two close relatives have never even met each other.

It's all my aunt's entrustment to marry such a beast...

Thinking of his father and others' judgment on Jia Amnesty, Zhang Su's sense of intimacy that had just arisen dissipated immediately.

"Please~"

Jia Lian glanced at Zhang Su, isn't it tiring to carry it like this?From the beginning to the end, there was only one "please", not even a word of address, let alone greetings.At any rate, he was also a comrade-in-arms who "pissed away" together back then.

Zhang Su invited Jia Lian to the banquet venue outside the hall, and finally said a long sentence: "You sit here for a while, there may be people you recognize here, so please feel free. The business in the mansion is busy today, if there is any negligence , please forgive me in advance."

After speaking, he apologized, turned around and left.

Jia Lian chuckled, Zhang Su's attitude was much better than he expected.Since I came here today, I didn't think about the kind of courtesy I would receive. Being able to let him in and wander around freely is probably because of the old man's birthday. They are juniors and don't want to be troublesome.

That's why he chose this time to come.

"Hey, isn't this the second master Lian? I didn't expect to see you here."

Two young men with their shoulders crossed came over and smiled jokingly.

Jia Lian also greeted her with a smile, and said: "This is my grandfather's house, why can't you see me? Today I am grateful that you all come to pay respects to my grandfather's birthday. You can eat and drink well for a while. If there is something not thoughtful, just come here." You are welcome to find me."

"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say..."
