The Second Master of the Red Chamber

In the entire Grand View Garden, if there were women that Jia Lian did not dare to provoke, then Zhen Yuhuan must be one of them.

As the legitimate daughter of the Zhen family and the candidate for the crown prince's concubine, her identity is very sensitive.

A Princess Zhaoyang has almost put him in a dilemma. If the prince is cuckolded again, then he can really consider raising an army to rebel.

Zhen Yuhuan, a little girl, can be impulsive and ignorant, but Jia Lian cannot.

Therefore, it was not until he quickly walked out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion that Jia Lian's trembling heart gradually calmed down.

"Whoosh!"

A wooden arrow shot out from a bamboo grove beside the road and stuck straight into the mud.

Soon, a well-dressed boy of eight or nine years old came running excitedly from the path on the slope.

Seeing Jia Lian, the boy seemed surprised and hurriedly hid the wooden bow behind his back, becoming shy for a moment.

"Lian...Hello, Uncle Lian..."

Looking at the boy who came forward to greet him politely, Jia Lian bent down and pulled out the wooden arrow stuck on the ground, holding it in his hand to observe.

Although it is a simple wooden arrow with no metal arrowhead or tail feathers, the arrow body is straight and the arrowhead is sharpened. If it gets stuck on someone, I'm afraid the damage will be serious.

The boy was Li Wan's only son Jia Lan who had finished his homework and went out to play.

Seeing Jia Lian sizing up his "arrow feathers", Jia Lan felt a little uneasy.

"I was on the slope trying to shoot a bird on a tree, but I never thought I would miss it. It disturbed Uncle Lian, and my nephew was deeply disturbed..."

Facing Jia Lan's explanation, Jia Lian took the wooden arrow, gestured to the wooden bow in his hand, and asked, "Did you do all of this?"

"Well. I heard Uncle Lian say that our ancestors started their careers through military service. I also saw that Uncle Lian also joined the army, so I thought that since I am also a descendant of the Jia family, I should not lose the reputation of my ancestors, so I should also learn to ride horses and archery. .

But my mother forced me to study every day, so I had to make this bow and arrow myself, and practice it when I had nothing to do..."

Jia Lian smiled. If this bow and arrow were really made by Jia Lan himself, if nothing else, he would have a very strong hands-on ability.

Returning the wooden arrow to him, Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's a good thing that you have such ambitions. But the world is different now. Studying for exams and gaining fame is the most right way in the world. Don't let all the outstanding descendants of my Jia family go to the battlefield and sacrifice their lives." Gain wealth and fame.

So there is nothing wrong with your mother letting you study.

But you are right. As a descendant of the Jia family, you really have to know how to ride a horse and shoot arrows.

Although your wooden bow is good, it is just a plaything after all. If you have the courage, go to my training ground and find my soldiers. Just say it was me and let them choose a suitable bow for you to practice with. "

"Really?"

Jia Lan just listened attentively to the previous sermon. When he heard the following, Jia Lan opened his eyes wide and asked happily.

Just like children in later generations like toy guns, little boys in this era all like bows and arrows.

As the eldest grandson of Jia Lanrong, it was not difficult to get a real bow and arrow. It's just that Li Wan and others didn't allow it.

Now if Jia Lian is willing to give him a real bow and arrow, it is expected that Li Wan and others will not be able to say anything for Jia Lian's sake. So he can legitimately own a real war bow?

If you use that to shoot birds, it will definitely be more effective than the one in your hand...

Seeing Jia Lan's happy look, Jia Lian sighed deeply. Among the children of the Jia family, Jia Lan was indeed the one with the best talent and temperament.

However, such children do not receive enough attention and favor.

Take the pet peeves of Jia Mu and others as an example, I am afraid that if he pulls the bow string, it will be a huge stain on his rich and jade hands.

So he touched Jia Lan's head and said, "Of course I won't lie to you.

But you have to promise me that after you get the bow and arrow, you can only practice it in a safe place such as a martial arts field.

Just like what happened just now, even though it was just a wooden arrow, if it accidentally hit someone in the garden, wouldn't it be too late to regret it? "

Jia Lan felt ashamed, "Second uncle taught me that Lan'er knew his mistake. Second uncle, don't worry, I won't be like this next time."

The attitude of knowing his mistakes and being able to correct them made Jia Lian even more satisfied as he rubbed the seeds on his head and said with a smile: "Go ahead."

Jia Lan bowed to Jia Lian, and then happily went out of the garden.

Jia Lian stood there and watched him go away. After thinking for a moment, he followed the path straight to Daoxiang Village.

He felt that he had some opinions about Jialan's training and had to have a good talk with Li Wan.

Daoxiang Village is not as quiet as Xiaoxiang Pavilion. In the fields, you can occasionally hear the noises of chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock.

Jia Lian originally thought that Daoxiang Village would be quite lively, because in his memory, Li Wan's young widowed aunt and two cousins ​​were both in Daoxiang Village.

Unexpectedly, when Jia Lian opened the wooden fence and walked into Daoxiang Village, he didn't see any extra people.

It wasn't until I arrived at Li Wan's main room that I saw Su Yun carrying clothes and going to the side yard to dry them.

"Is your grandma here?"

"Grandma was in the house just now. Does Second Master have anything to do with her? I'll call her."

Seeing that Su Yun was about to put down the wooden basin and go to the main room, Jia Lian waved his hand and said, "No, you can go about your business."

While talking, Jia Lian also glanced at the colorful clothes in the wooden basin held by Su Yun. They were all small items, probably women's underwear, and most likely they belonged to Li Wan, otherwise Suyun, the chief maid of Daoxiang Village, would not have had to wash and dry them herself.

Not having the nerve to look any further, Jia Lian immediately walked up the wooden corridor and entered the main room.

There was probably no incense in Li Wan's house, only the faint fragrance of bamboo and wood, which showed the elegance and simplicity of the owner. There was no one outside, and Jia Lian and Su Yun had just spoken. If there was someone in the room, they should have known that he was coming, and would not have reacted at all.

If he were in Mrs. Wang's or Mrs. Xing's room, Jia Lian would either sit quietly and wait, or call the waiter, and would never move.

But this was Li Wan's house, and Jia Lian had no reason to be pedantic. He walked directly into the room with curiosity and exploration in his heart.

As soon as he stepped into Li Wan's embroidery room, before looking at the decoration and layout, Jia Lian's eyes were completely attracted by the graceful figure in a sky blue dress sitting in front of the makeup mirror in the northeast corner.

After taking a closer look, he guessed that Li Wan was lying there and asleep. No wonder he couldn't hear him coming.

Jia Lian felt more at ease. While looking at Li Wan's room, he walked towards her.

From the mirror, you can see Li Wan lying with his face between his arms. It can be guessed that this pretty widow must be sitting in front of the dressing table, too lazy to dress up, so she took a nap.

It was rare that Li Wan was not shy at this time, and Jia Lian sat aside generously, admiring the beauty of Li Wan's figure.

The only pity is that I can't see Li Wan's sleeping face.

Come to think of it, she will look a little less cute and playful and a little more mature and elegant than Zhen Yuhuan when she is sleeping.

Time passed by, and just after Jia Lian's eyes wandered back and forth inch by inch for an unknown number of times, he suddenly noticed that Li Wan's body shuddered, and then began to tremble slightly.

Jia Lian frowned and thought it was because the weather was still cold.

He deliberately woke Li Wan up, but didn't let her sleep in the cold for a long time. I also thought that with Li Wan's temperament, if he woke up, he would be ashamed to be in the same room with him.

It would not be a good idea to drive him out.

In addition, I also wanted to see Li Wan sleeping soundly. As soon as his mind changed, Jia Lian stood up unexpectedly, walked to Li Wan, stretched out his hands, but hesitated again.

Then he laughed to himself. If it had been okay before, after the wedding in Yuanchun last year, I was just one step away from executing Li Wan on the spot in a secluded place in Li Wan's courtyard.

So, it is really ridiculous to be so coy at this time.

So he no longer hesitated, bent down and put one hand through Li Wan's legs, put one hand around Li Wanyu's back, and carefully and slowly picked him up.

Li Wan's body is very light, and she is quite tall, weighing only about a hundred pounds.

Although it is light, it has a slim waist, full hips and long legs, which makes it feel very material.

In order to prevent Li Wan from waking up, Jia Lian did not dare to make any further observations. He just glanced at him and noticed that Li Wan's face was frowning and his expression was confused, which did not look like he was sleeping peacefully.

Jia Lian, who was worried that Li Wan had caught a cold, had no choice but to walk gently to the bed.

While he was being careful, he suddenly felt a pair of soft jade arms hugging his neck, and at the same time, an inaudible voice sounded like a cry of complaint in his ear:

"No, uncle, you can't do this~"

Jia Lian was startled and suddenly looked down at Li Wan.

However, he found that her eyes were still closed and her expression was still abnormally hurried, but her body senses noticed that her body was shaking much more violently than before.

Jia Lian's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Although he had never seen a beauty talk so gibbering, Jia Lian knew intuitively that Li Wan should still be sleeping, and this dream was probably related to taboos and beauty!

uncle?

In the entire Jia family, he is probably the only one who can be called so by Li Wan.

Jia Lian was inexplicably excited, and there was a battle between heaven and man in his heart. Unexpectedly, the jade in his arms trembled heavily, and he woke up faintly.

Seeing Li Wan's open eyes with an obvious look of confusion, Jia Lian smiled and explained: "Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand me. I just saw my sister-in-law sleeping there, and I was worried about catching a cold, so I thought of moving her to another room." Come up on the bed.”

The look in Li Wan's eyes slowly gathered.

Following Jia Lian's words, she turned her head and glanced at her own fragrant couch, which was close at hand, and then looked at Jia Lian subconsciously. Soon her face turned red and she struggled: "Put me down~!"

There was shame and uneasiness in Li Wan's anxious voice, but more of it sounded like he was at a loss due to panic and embarrassment.

Jia Lian did not disobey her.

After smiling slightly, he put Li Wan on the bed, pulled the quilt over her, covered her, and then turned around without saying a word.

"Wait……"

"Sister-in-law, what else can I do?"

Li Wan's cheeks turned red. Looking at the calm Jia Lian, he finally turned his back to Jia Lian and said, "No, it's okay... Thank you for your concern, uncle..."

Jia Lian smiled slightly. After walking out of the room, he raised his right hand and found that several fingertips were stained with water.

A faint exciting breath came from above.

With a hint of joking on his face, Jia Lian walked to the door of the main room, stood inside the door, closed the double doors, and closed them.

In the room, Li Wan, who heard Jia Lian's walking away, turned over and sat up, looking at the empty door in a daze.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone else walking in. Li Wan, who thought it was a maid, didn't care. It wasn't until he found that the other party was actually taking off his clothes in front of him that Li Wan took a closer look.

At this glance, Li Wan, who had not yet distinguished between dreams and reality, felt his head was spinning. He stared blankly at the person in front of him. In front of her, he took off all his clothes and walked towards her naked.
