The Second Master of the Red Chamber

There was a sudden sound of horse hoofbeats on the broad long street, and everyone in the Jia family knew that Jia Lian had returned home.

Sister Feng met Jia Lian in front of the moon cave door between the main courtyard and the east cross courtyard. She slowed down her pace, looked at Jia Lian who walked directly in front of her, and asked with a smile: "You said you were busy, why did you come back suddenly?"

"There are some temporary arrangements."

Jia Lian responded casually, looked at his lovely wife's bright face, stretched out his hand to tuck a strand of black hair on the side of her face behind her ear, and then gently caressed her face, feeling its smooth and warm touch.

"What are you doing? There are so many people watching."

Sister Feng opened Jia Lian's hand and said angrily.

Jia Lian snorted softly, but went the extra mile and hugged her with one arm. Completely ignoring the eyes around her, he said in Sister Feng's ear: "I'll go see the old lady first. You can prepare the food and bath water at home." wait for me."

After saying that, he kissed her forehead gently, then glanced at Qingwen who was pouting behind her, and strode away.

Looking at Jia Lian's handsome back, Sister Feng almost stamped her feet angrily, secretly scolding Jia Lian for becoming less self-respecting and being intimate with her in public.But she herself had to admit that the feeling of being pampered by her husband in public was really quite satisfying.

So she calmed down her expression and turned to look at Sister Aqi and Aqin who were holding Jia Lian's old clothes. Sister Feng said lightly: "I've been following your Lord Marquis out these days, thank you for your hard work. Give them the things, you go down first. Have a good rest, I will reward you later."

"Yes. Thank you, Second Grandma."

Honor Hall.

Mother Jia's eyes were drooped, looking at Jia Lian who stood like a green pine tree below, and said displeasedly: "Are you in such a hurry to return to Beijing just because of the Xue family's affairs? I say brother Lian, it is a good thing to be enthusiastic, but don't forget it. The stakes on your own shoulders.

Then Xue Pan's failure to cultivate his own body and the disaster he brought upon himself were his own fault. Are you guilty of risking your life for him?If you get into unnecessary trouble because of this, wouldn't it harm your future and defeat your ambition to glorify your ancestors? "

"The old lady misunderstood. My grandson's return to Beijing is not for the Xue family's affairs, but he does have other arrangements.

Of course, her grandson also heard about Xue Pan, and Aunt Xue personally begged her for it.Since she thinks highly of her grandson and is a relative, her grandson will naturally help if he can. "

Jia Mu snorted.Unlike Sister Feng, she pays attention to everything Jia Lian does outside, so she can't tell whether what Jia Lian says is true or false. She can only say: "I know you have always been the most assertive, and you will never be confused about the interests. In this case, I have nothing to say, you just have to figure it out yourself."

"Yes. My grandson has just returned to Beijing. If my ancestor had no other instructions, would my grandson have resigned first?"

"go Go."

When Jia Lian left, Jia Mu sighed deeply.

To be honest, Jia Mu did not expect that Jia Lian would return to Beijing at this time.It's not that she doesn't know about Aunt Xue going to Tianjin Wei, but according to her, Jia Lian is not a soft-hearted person who easily listens to the "good advice" of his elders.Otherwise, this grandson would not have suffered so much from her ancestor in recent years!
Calculating the time, I am afraid that as soon as Mr. Xue arrived at Tianjin Wei, he would have persuaded Jia Lian, so that he could return to Beijing so quickly.It seems that we really cannot underestimate this Xue family!

But that's it, no matter what method she uses to convince this stubborn donkey.At least it shows that this stubborn donkey is not indifferent. As long as the method is right, he is still willing to listen to the words of his elders.

Thinking of this, Mother Jia glanced at Yuanyang, who was chasing Jia Lian's back with her eyes, and suddenly said: "Yuanyang girl, you blame me for keeping you by my side and not giving you to Brother Lian earlier, so that you can see each other now Is it difficult for him?"

Yuanyang didn't expect Jia Mu to say this. She didn't know what she meant for a while, and said quickly: "No, no. It is my good fortune and blessing that I can stay with the old lady and serve the old lady. How can I blame the old lady?"

In just one sentence, she seemed to have some clues, and with a turn of her eyes, she knelt down in front of Jia Mu and said, "How could Yuanyang not know how much the old lady has treated me over the years?

Even though I'm just a girl, I still know what's good and what's good.Let's not talk about the old lady's kindness to me again, let's talk about it now. Is it possible that Yuanyang is so confused that he doesn't understand the old lady's painstaking efforts?

The old lady intentionally gave the mandarin duck to Mr. Lian out of pity and care for me.But how can Yuanyang not know that I am also in the old lady's house, and the old lady does not despise me and treats me as a person. If I leave the old lady, Yuanyang will be nothing.

Even when she got to Master Lian's house, she was just a rough girl.If Mr. Lian and Mrs. Lian take pity on me, it will be easier for me. If not, I will be nothing more than a rootless duckweed. How can I feel at ease in the old lady's house?
Moreover, the old lady's lifelong cultivation and knowledge, Yuanyang only learned a little bit, which is enough to be used for a lifetime.So now the old lady wants to drive me away, but Yuanyang is determined not to do so.This is what Yuanyang said from the bottom of his heart. If there is any falsehood, Yuanyang will be taught to suffer the consequences. From now on, he will be lonely and helpless, and no one will love him for the rest of his life. "

Since everyone in Rongqing Hall knew that Jia Mu intended to give her to Jia Lian, Jia Mu no longer concealed it, but taught her some tips for survival in the inner house from time to time, which made Yuanyang very grateful.

In fact, she didn't lie.Yuanyang herself also understood that even if she followed Jia Lian now, it would be difficult for her to stand out among the monsters in Sister Feng's Courtyard. At best, she could only be a foil.

She is unique only when she stays with Jia Mu, and everyone in the house respects her.Only in this position, even Jia Lian would pay special attention to her.

Therefore, she was really in no hurry to leave Jia Mu, and she also knew that Jia Mu had no intention of letting her go for the time being.

Jia Mu was very satisfied with Yuanyang's statement. She smiled and said, "If you think so, it's really worth all my hard work.

Speaking of which, you have been with me for so many years. Originally, I was planning to promise you to Baoyu, which could be regarded as giving you a home.It was only later that I accidentally heard the girls making fun of me and found out that you, little girl, actually fell in love with that boy Lian'er, so I changed my mind.

You are right. There are many girls in Lian'er's house who are prettier than you. If I let you go now, you really won't have any advantage. You might as well follow me, the old lady, and learn some tips for settling down. Taoism is the best policy. "

Since Jia Mu intends to cultivate Yuanyang, she naturally hopes that Yuanyang will be loyal enough, so that it will be worthy of her investment.

Yuanyang was very grateful when she heard that Jia Mu said that she changed her mind because she knew in advance that she liked Jia Lian.After all, not every master can take care of his slave's wishes.

……

Sister Feng's nursery, the bath behind the flower hall.Jia Lian soaked in the pool naked, and the warm water wrapped around his skin below his shoulders, seeming to dissipate all the fatigue from his body.

"Go down."

Qingwen took the clothes from the little maid and kicked her out of the bathroom without politeness. Then she put the clothes on the carved pear wood stand. She also walked to the edge of the pool and knelt down like Xiangling, giving Jia Lian a squeeze. Other shoulder.

After a long time, she saw that Jia Lian was silent, but she couldn't help it, and asked with a smile: "How long will the second master stay home this time? It won't be like last time, only staying for two days and then going to Tianjin Wei again, right?"

After asking, she was not discouraged when she saw that Jia Lian just closed his eyes and enjoyed himself, ignoring her, and asked: "Why did the second master come back this time? Is it really like what the second grandma said, that he beat people to death for the sake of the Xue family uncle?"

"I have to say that this Mr. Xue family really deserves it. I heard that before he came to Beijing, he had beaten someone to death, but the other person was powerless, so he just let it go. Now it's better, and so are others. He is a son of an official family, and his official rank is not low. Now the Xue family has no choice.

When my former wife, Mrs. Xue, came into the house, she cried so sadly. "

"Speak up."

Jia Lian scolded lightly, but actually he was thinking about it in his heart.The story of Xue Pan beating someone to death last time has been widely circulated. At least everyone in the Jia family knows about it, but he still doesn't know how to restrain himself. He is simply harming others and himself, and it is not a pity to die!

Qingwen felt tired after squeezing her hands a few times, so she said lazily: "When the second master comes back this time, do you want to save Uncle Xue? I feel that if the second master doesn't save him, he will be dead!"

The chattering girl kept interrupting Jia Lian's thoughts. Jia Lian finally replied: "Oh, do you think I can save him?"

"Of course you can. As long as the second master wants to save the person, it will not be easy for him to die!"

"Hehe, sycophant."

Jia Lian was also amused by Qingwen. He turned his head and looked at the extremely beautiful appearance of this girl and said with a smile: "Instead of having the time to care about others, you should care more about yourself. Come on, lower your head and open your mouth, let me see During these days when I was away from home, did you disobey me and secretly eat sweets?"

Qingwen was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she still obediently lowered her head and opened her mouth, allowing Jia Lian to reach out and check.

"Not bad, fresh lips, tender tongue, white teeth, fresh inside." After carefully inspecting it, Jia Lian nodded with satisfaction.

Both Qingwen and Xiangling have been raised by him since they were eleven or twelve years old. To him, they are absolutely rare treasures. Naturally, they must be cherished at all times to avoid unnecessary flaws.

So she looked at Xiangling, who also opened her mouth consciously.After finding that both maids were obedient, Jia Lian happily rewarded them with a kiss, then stood up, dressed, and returned to the main room.

Sister Feng has been waiting for Jia Lian to speak.After cleaning up, she hurriedly walked to the west room and said to Jia Lian, who was sitting on the kang enjoying the beating of her back and shoulders by her two maids: "I heard that my aunt went to Tianjin Wei to look for you. Why are you the only one coming back? Where is my aunt?"

"Auntie can't stand the traffic, so I go ahead."

"Oh."

Sister Feng came over and sat next to Jia Lian, stared at Jia Lian for a few times, and said with a smile: "So, you were really invited back by your aunt?"

Seeing that Jia Lian was silent, Sister Feng asked curiously: "Are you really planning to personally intervene in Uncle Xue's case? This matter is not easy to handle. The Ministry of Punishment has intervened, and I heard that there is also Prince Zhongshun's Mansion!"

Jia Lian glanced at her and said, "Why, didn't you write to me repeatedly in the past few days, asking me if there was any way to save idiot Xue, and now you don't want me to intervene?"

Sister Feng hummed: "If you can help, I naturally hope you will. After all, he is my aunt's only son. If you can save his life, it will be good. But I don't want you to do it knowing you can't do it... you understand me?"

Jia Lian smiled slightly, held Sister Feng in his arms, and rubbed and played with her like a beloved thing, until she made Sister Feng very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Jia Lian was silent, Sister Feng didn't ask any more questions. She just lay quietly in Jia Lian's arms, enjoying the rare love.

But Jia Lian's hands were very dishonest and he touched her body again after a while. She hadn't seen Jia Lian for more than half a month, so she soon became a little restless.

She raised her head and looked at Jia Lian with confusion, "You..."

Jia Lian also glanced at her and suddenly remembered something. He took out his Western watch from his arms and took a look at it. He immediately let go of Sister Feng and said, "Okay, it's almost time. I have to go out. I have some things to do."

Seeing that Jia Lian actually stood up, straightened his clothes in the mirror, then walked away.

Sister Feng was so angry that she sat down by the kang and sulked.The two maids behind her saw this and were about to quietly get off the bed and run away, but unfortunately they were caught by Sister Feng's eyes.

"What are you two doing? Give me a hand! If your second master can't do anything about you, I can't do anything about you."

Qingwen Xiangling didn't dare to act rashly. Qingwen changed her expression and stretched out her hands to pat Sister Feng's back with a smile. She said at the same time: "Look at what Second Grandma said, being able to give orders to Second Grandma is something we can't wait for. Woolen cloth."

"Oh, really? Then from now on, just follow me like Ping'er."

"Uh, this, okay, okay..." (End of Chapter)
