The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 599
Seeing that there was something to be expected, Jia Baoyu smiled all over his cheeks, his mind was full of thoughts about how to get along with such a woman in the future, how to please her, etc., and he had no time to pay attention to the resentful eyes of his chief maid looking at Jia Lian.

But for Jia Lian, recruiting the girl in red to Jia's mansion was just a matter of convenience, and it would not cause any disturbance in his heart at all.

But the girl Xiren was more likely to arouse his interest.Seeing him staring at him, Jia Lian smiled slightly, turned his head to Jia Baoyu and said, "Brother Laobao, go and invite Xiren's brother and mother in together, and say that I have something to discuss with them."

"Oh well……"

At this time, Jia Baoyu was very grateful to Jia Lian, and obeyed Jia Lian's words. He never thought that there was an attacker, so why should he invite the Hua family to come in.After getting the order, he got up and bowed to Jia Lian, then went out in a hurry.

Seeing Jia Lian pushing Jia Baoyu away, Xiren's expression changed, but he didn't express anything. When he found Jia Lian's teacup was half empty, he went forward to pour tea with Jia Lian.

She is also a woman of twenty-eight years old, with a beautiful appearance and a rather tall stature. Perhaps for the purpose of "returning home", she put on a half-new narrow-sleeved flower robe that Jia Mu had given her before. Bowing and bowing his head not only added a bit of solemnity and nobility to him, but also fully revealed his exquisite figure, which was quite different from the pure and honest appearance that Jia Lian saw in Jia's mansion in the past.

Jia Lian was overjoyed to see it, and when she turned around to serve tea, she not only purposely held onto her cool little hand, but also pulled her into her arms when she was showing annoyance.

As the two pushed and pulled, the tea was naturally easily overturned, and part of it fell on Jia Lian.

Xiren is worthy of the name of virtuous and virtuous. Seeing her refusal, she let out a light "Yeah", and suddenly her strength increased several times. She turned over and knelt beside Jia Lian, took out her handkerchief and wiped the gap between Jia Lian's legs. While wiping the wet robe, Jia Lian nervously asked if it was ironed.I didn't even think about it, the tea in their house is brewed once, even if it is stored in a warm pot, it will only be warm after half a day.

So Jia Lian didn't reply to her words, just looked at the little beauty in front of her with a smile.

No matter how readers of later generations evaluate Xiren's appearance, she is the second woman in the "You Sui Volume". Three women with separate verdicts.The other two are Xiangling and Qingwen.

"I'm gentle and docile in vain, empty clouds are like osmanthus and orchids. It's a blessing to be an actor, but it's a pity that the young master has no chance."

Although the verdict is not all commendatory, the recognition of his beauty and disposition is beyond doubt.

Xiren's cousin is better than her in beauty and purity, but in terms of dignified appearance, tall and plump figure, and elegant and appropriate manners, she is not comparable to her cousin of Xiaojiabiyu.

The reason why Jia Baoyu fell in love with the red-clothed cousin at first sight when he was surrounded by attackers was because Jia Baoyu's nature was prone to nympho, and the second was that Jia Baoyu just liked the red-clothed cousin, just like he liked Daisy. Jade is better than Baochai.

Three things, maybe the red-clothed cousin is different from the attacking people, and the wild flowers are different from the domestic flowers.

For Jia Lian, attacking people is also a half-wild flower.Therefore, Jia Lian can give a more pertinent evaluation. On the whole, Xiren should be better than her cousin.

Xiren wiped it a few times, then suddenly stopped.One is that she also noticed that Jia Lian was looking at her, and the other is that the water was sprinkled in an inappropriate place, and she didn't feel it when she was in a hurry, but now that the atmosphere has calmed down, she would feel embarrassed if she moved here again.

Jia Lian was already moved by his looks, but seeing her shy and bowed head in silence, she became even more moved.Pulling him up, regardless of Xiren's worries and objections, he insisted on showing off his desire, and then kissed his slightly opened mouth...

But after Jia Baoyu went out, he didn't see Hua Zifang and Huamu, but Hua Zifang's voice could be vaguely heard at the gate.

Deliberately took the opportunity to look for the figure of the green beauty, but unfortunately, only the two youngest of Xiren's sisters were playing in the courtyard at the moment, and when they saw him coming out, they all hurriedly avoided, as if they had been instructed by the adults, Don't dare to bump into him.This made Jia Baoyu very disappointed, he was in a daze, and then walked towards the gate alone.

Sure enough, Hua Zifang and Huamu were outside the door, presenting tea and snacks to Jia Lian's entourage and guards.Hearing Jia Baoyu say that Jia Baoyu greeted them, the two quickly dropped their belongings and followed Jia Baoyu back to the main room with all their fists and sleeves ready.

Did not see any inappropriate scenes.There were two people in the room, and Jia Lian was sipping the tea in the cup slowly and comfortably, as if the tea in his hands was not the rough tea brewed by the Hua family, but the fine tea brewed by the beauty's superb technique.Xi Ren was standing far away in the corner, his face was flushed, his head was lowered, but he was even more beautiful than usual.

Jia Baoyu originally thought that Jia Lian called Hua's family in to discuss the matter of hiring Xiren's cousin, but after Hua Zifang and others saluted, Jia Lian resumed chatting with Hua Zifang and others.

For a while Jia Lian asked about Hua Zifang's livelihood, Hua Zifang said with shame on her face: "I'll tell you the truth, the villain is not very capable. I have been working in a restaurant in the city for the past few years. Although the salary is not much, I am close to home. , and it’s convenient to take care of my wife.”

Jia Lian was just looking for a random reason to support Jia Baoyu to leave. After listening to Hua Zifang's words, he saw that she was not only physically strong, but also had a clear logic in his speech, so he decided to take him under his wing.

So he said with a smile: "I don't want Brother Hua to be a restaurant too. It just so happens that I have added two restaurants under my name, and one of the shopkeepers has not yet been finalized. If Brother Hua doesn't mind, I would like to ask Brother Hua to help me.

Of course, the place may not be as close to home as Brother Hua is doing now. If Brother Hua has doubts, forget it. "

Although Jia Lian said it lightly, all three of the Hua family were stunned except Jia Baoyu.

The ones who were most excited and astonished were naturally Hua Zifang and Huamu.

Who is Jia Lian?It can be said that even Hua Zifang had inquired about Jia Lian, but she didn't dare to say that she knew it well, because what he heard from other people was too mysterious.

In fact, there is no need to study it carefully, only the word "Hou Ye" is an unattainable existence for the Hua family.

Now, such a person actually took the initiative to solicit, and not only his words were polite, but he also asked himself to be the shopkeeper according to the meaning of his words! ?

Hua Zifang only felt that the good luck came too suddenly, and she was dizzy. Fortunately, Hua Mu reminded him, so he quickly knelt down to thank him, but he also stammered excitedly.

Jia Lian didn't care, he also saw that the Hua family had sold their daughters to make a living in the early years, but now they can lead a small life under Hua Zifang's leadership, and he felt that Hua Zifang should be a person who can do things, so he got up. The heart of employing people.

Of course, the main reason is that he is Xiren's elder brother.Using my own woman's big brother, not only can I feel more at ease, but also can make the beauty return to my heart, so why not do it.

Anyway, his power is expanding now, and he needs manpower everywhere under his name, whether it is official or private.

……

When Jia Lian left, he also took Jia Baoyu away, and Fang went to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and dismounted the happy Jia Baoyu, Lin Zhixiao stepped forward and said with a smile: "The second master is finally back home, the old lady wants you to hurry up." It’s been a while, and today there are distinguished guests visiting.”

"VIP?"

Jia Lian was a little surprised, after all, there are not many people who can be called distinguished guests in front of Jia's house.

Lin Zhixiao didn't dare to show off, and said bluntly: "The wife of Zhen's family in Jiangnan has arrived, and now she is in Rongqingtang, the old lady and the wife are with them."

As soon as Lin Zhixiao finished speaking, Jia Lian hadn't said anything yet, but Jia Baoyu's expression changed before he left, and immediately said, "Second brother Lian, this Jiangnan Zhen's family is the Zhen's family you mentioned after you returned from Yangzhou last time."

Xu was afraid that Jia Lian wouldn't understand, so Jia Baoyu added, "That's the one. You said that their family has a younger sister who is very similar to the Zhen family who was born to Sister Lin?"

Jia Lian looked back at him, and said for a while, "That's right, it's the Zhen family."

"Hehe, speaking of the Zhen family, we have been friends with our family for nearly a hundred years. It can be said that apart from our relatives, there is no other family that has such good friendship with our family. It is a pity that the two families are far away in the north and the south, so it is inconvenient to communicate.

Now Mrs. Zhen's family has personally come to Beijing to visit, the old lady and the wife are very happy... Uh, Second Master Bao..."

Lin Zhixiao didn't know what Second Master Bao was thinking, so he laughed and made a narration, but was caught by Jia Baoyu, who couldn't wait to ask: "Then do you know who came to Mrs. Zhen's business, who and Sister Lin?" Is the younger sister who looks like her here too?"

"Well, this... Firstly, I don't know which sister Bao Erye is talking about, and secondly, all the family members of the Zhen family are here today. When they entered the mansion, this old slave didn't dare to come and watch, so I didn't I know, if Second Master Bao wants to know, I will help you call my guy out and ask..."

Before Lin Zhixiao finished speaking, Jia Baoyu had already run away, which made Lin Zhixiao dumbfounded.

Jia Lian silently watched Jia Baoyu's running back with a gloomy expression, didn't say much, waved his hand, continued to go to Dongkuayuan before getting off his horse, and then went home.

Xu Shizhen's family is really a rare guest to Jia's family, there are not many people in their own courtyard, and there is only one kind maid beside the husband and wife, Xiao Hong.

"The servant came back to pick up the key at the order of the second grandma, and will go out soon... Does the second master want to change clothes? The servant will serve you first."

"Ah."

As the daughter of Lin Zhixiao and his wife, Xiaohong has learned the skills of her parents. Although she has only been with Sister Feng for a year or two, she has already become the most trusted and valued person by Sister Feng. Squeezed down by her, the status is second only to Ping'er.

Even so, he still rarely had the opportunity to contact Jia Lian.Because usually Xiangling and Qingwen occupy the place next to Jia Lian, especially Qingwen, I don't know why, but she doesn't like her, not only defending her, but also directing her and Xiangling's little girl to call Tan Yun and Hui Xiang run on her together.

If Sister Feng didn't like her and Ping'er acted justly, she almost couldn't get along in this courtyard.

I didn't expect to meet Jia Lian by chance today, and Qingwen and others are still away. If she doesn't seize this opportunity, then she will be the daughter of the chief executive and his wife.

Therefore, he took Jia Lian's robe and changed it very carefully and considerately. When he was thinking about how to get closer to Jia Lian, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a puddle of water on the hem of Jia Lian's robe.

"Oh, why is Second Master's robe wet here?"

"I accidentally spilled it while drinking tea."

Xiao Hong immediately squatted down to check, and then said: "It's soaked in some of the pants. In such a cold day, it's good to catch a cold. Second master, wait a minute, the servant will bring a new one for the master before going out. Woolen cloth."

After speaking, regardless of whether Jia Lian agreed or not, he immediately went to Jia Lian's closet to find his pants.

Jia Lian has been thinking about things in his heart.There were plans on how to build a firearms battalion and how to supervise the building of warships in Tianjin, as well as the Zhen family.

As early as when the Zhen family made Zhen Yuhuan recognize him as a righteous brother, Jia Lian felt that there was something in it, and finally couldn't figure it out, so he didn't take it seriously.It wasn't until a piece of news that Jia Lian heard by chance not long ago that Jia Lian suddenly realized.

Therefore, when the Zhen family came to visit, the whole family was very happy, including Jia Baoyu, but Jia Lian almost didn't like it.After all, no one likes someone to plot and take advantage of him.

That's why he wasn't in a hurry to meet this Mrs. Zhen's family, and acquiesced that the little maid would help him change his pants.

At first I thought it was just to change the outer cotton trousers, but who knew that my legs suddenly felt cold, and I looked down, ah, it's good, this girl Xiaohong even took off his underwear, and she looked still Insufficient, still staring at his last concealer, with a serious look, it seems that he wants to take it off and take a look at it!
Jia Lian almost didn't even think about it. She tapped her little head and scolded with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I'll catch a cold? If you don't move fast, what are you doing in a daze?"

Xiaohong, who was already treacherous, was taken aback by Jia Lian's actions, and thought Jia Lian was angry, so she responded quickly, took Jia Lian's pants and helped him put them on, and her movements were more than ten times faster than before.

At the same time, I was a little worried.The reason why she dared to move Qingwen and the others to protect her well-protected baby was because she was not only the one Jia Lian recruited to the courtyard, but also from Jia Lian's usual attitude towards her, she felt that Jia Lian treated her very well. interesting.

If these are all her own thoughts, and the second master has no such intentions, then the risk of her acting like this will be great. If Jia Lian gets angry, she will pack up and leave, and at worst, she will be severely punished by Sister Feng and others.

Jia Lian could see the shame and worry of this girl. In fact, what he meant just now was to take off quickly. Who knew she didn't understand and didn't say anything, and was frightened.

When things come to this, it's not easy to talk back, anyway, the time is not right today, so I just raised Xiaohong's sharp and delicate chin, looked at her shy expression, and then said with a smile: "I usually look like a Okay, who knows, just change some outer clothes and it will be slow, not refreshing at all. I also said, when will you, together with Qingwen and Xiangling, serve me in the bath, it seems that you have to take it slow , You girl, you still have to practice and practice."

After finishing speaking, he put down Xiao Hong who was stupefied by him, and went away with a smirk on his face.
