The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 7 The Peacemaker

Wang Xifeng didn't expect Jia Lian to even calculate the time. It can be seen that he really wanted to go, and he didn't intend to please Jia Mu, and he felt anxious and angry for a while.

She thought that Jia Lian did this to anger her.

"Hmph, this Yangzhou is not Chang'an. You can ride a horse for thousands of miles, can you bear it..."

For Wang Xifeng's blatant contempt, Jia Lian didn't answer at all, and said directly to Jia's mother: "Ancestor, please let the grandson go. If nothing else, letting the grandson go is better than letting the housekeeper and daughter-in-law go." Sister Lin attaches great importance to it, and my uncle would be more than happy to send Sister Lin to Beijing."

Jia's mother looked at Jia Lian seriously, and sighed: "It's hard for you to have such a heart. If so, let you pick up your sister. But you should go by boat. Even if you can bear the hardship, don't let you Sister Lin also suffers with you?
You go down and get ready. When the mansion prepares the boats, you can go south. Remember, you must bring your sister Lin back to Beijing safely. "

Mother Jia was indeed surprised by Jia Lian's initiative. After all, according to common sense, if she didn't force her, the young and old in the family who only knew how to enjoy themselves would not be willing to move at all!

But no matter what Jia Lian's thoughts are, Jia Mu is still happy that he is willing to take on this errand.

As Jia Lian said, even if she was sure that Lin Ruhai would not go against her wishes, if Jia Lian went to pick her up in person, Lin Ruhai would know how much the Jia family attached importance to Daiyu, so he would have no reason to refuse.

One more thing, let these unworthy descendants do some serious business, go out and walk around, so as not to stay at home all day long and make trouble...

"The old ancestor thought very well. It was the grandson who thought wrongly. How about this, the grandson rides south first, and then the mansion prepares a boat to go to Yangzhou. When the grandson arrives there, he assists the uncle to transport the aunt Once the funeral is settled, and then take sister Lin back to Beijing by boat, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" Jia Lian said with a smile.

Jia's mother was very surprised. If she had suspected that Jia Lian was deliberately trying to sell her off in front of her, she didn't think so now.

These children and grandchildren in the family are used to enjoying the blessings, who is willing to suffer?What's more, she didn't even decide to let Jia Lian rush over to express her condolences, so why did he still decide to ride on horseback?
It can be seen that the fruit is somewhat sincere.

"Look all of you, it's better for you two to be a nephew than him to be a nephew!
Well, Lian'er, since you have agreed in this way, go down and get ready.If you do a good job on this errand, I will give you a lot of rewards when you come back. If you don’t do it well, or let me know that you are slack, I will definitely not forgive you. "

After hearing Jia's mother's reprimand, Jia Zheng said "son is ashamed" and other words, while Jia Amnesty just bowed his head and listened to the training.

Jia's mother was really in a bad mood. Seeing that the matter was settled, she asked Jia Zheng and others to leave.

After leaving the Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng persuaded Jia Lian, "This trip to the south is far away. If you ride a horse on a dry road, will your body be able to bear it?"

"Thank you, master, for your concern, but my nephew is young, so I can't guard against it."

Jia Zheng didn't say anything more.

Jia Lian then said to Jia Amnesty who was on the side: "Master, after leaving Jiangnan for so many years, what do you miss? If there is anything, just tell your son, if you go on this trip, you will try your best to find it for the master."

Jia Amnesty glanced at Jia Lian, and snorted coldly, "Is there anything in the capital, and I need you to help me find it? Just take care of yourself and don't cause trouble for me outside!"

After finishing speaking, he and Jia Zheng nodded slightly, then flicked their sleeves and sped away.

Jia Lian pretended to be embarrassed, and said to Jia Zheng, "Perhaps I broke the Grand Master's jade bottle last time, and the Grand Master's anger is still there, so..."

Faced with Jia Lian's explanation, Jia Zheng nodded to express his understanding.

In fact, he also has a lot of dissatisfaction with Jia Amnesty.

He thought that since the old lady wanted the two brothers to go to the south of the Yangtze River so much, and he couldn't get away from government affairs, Jia She should take the initiative to take on this task.

Anyway, Jia She has nothing to do except drinking and playing with his concubine all day long!
Also, Lian'er is usually considered an obedient child, so why does she frowned at him and beat and scolded him so often?

Even if you make mistakes, you just teach them patiently. Doesn't Lian'er listen to you?

Jia Lian didn't know what Jia Zheng was thinking, if he knew that Jia Zheng was fighting for him like this, he probably couldn't help laughing.

From the point of view of Sajia, you are always treating little brother Baoyu even worse than you...

Going to the study again, after explaining a few necessary words to Jia Lian, Jia Zheng said: "You are also used to handling common affairs, I don't worry about other things, just one sentence, take more people down, and be careful on the road.

There is also the cost of this trip, you go down and figure out how much you need, just go to the cashier to get it.This can be considered a big event, don't try to be frugal, and nothing else will matter. "

Jia Lian should be on the surface, but he also has some feelings in his heart.

Speaking of which, the boss Jia Zheng is pretty good, at least he is pretty good to him. I think this is the biggest reason why he can always help Jia Zheng's housekeeper here with peace of mind.

……

In Rongqing Hall, after everyone had dispersed, Mother Jia sent someone to find Wang Xifeng again.

"I heard people say that Lian Er has been sleeping in his study outside for the past few days?"

Mother Jia asked with a calm expression. Seeing this, Wang Xifeng immediately showed a grievance, and nodded bluntly.

"What is it for? Even if the couple quarreled, they shouldn't ask him to move outside. Even if the servants knew about it, wouldn't they laugh at you?"

In fact, Wang Xifeng had long intended to use Jia Mu's influence to subdue Jia Lian and force him to submit, but seeing that Jia Mu was in a bad mood recently, she didn't dare to disturb her.

Today, when I was asked about it actively, there was no hesitation, so I gave the speeches I had prepared a long time ago.

"...Because he always protected that girl, he refused to follow me when I sent her away. I asked him to ask my wife what she wanted, but he didn't dare to go, so he got annoyed and moved outside in a fit of anger.

I begged him repeatedly but refused to come back, even when I asked Pinger to send him pillows and blankets, Pinger was scolded by him...

I really have no choice but to ask my ancestors to uphold justice, but I also think that my ancestors have been sad for my aunt's illness recently, and I dare not upset my ancestors over such a trivial matter, so I dare not tell my ancestors. "

Although Wang Xifeng's words fit perfectly, Jia's mother was not so easily fooled.

The girl who committed theft and got all the stolen goods was just a moth she made to send out the people in Lian'er's original room.

However, since the person has already been sent away, it is impossible to pick it up again, "Since she made a mistake first, it is not wrong for you to send her away. She is just a shameless girl, if Lian'er quarrels with you over such a trivial matter , I am on your side, and I will definitely not follow him.

But having said that, after all, Lian'er is also a man in the mansion, and besides you, there is not even a single person in the house.When other people see you, they will also laugh at you, saying that you are so jealous and can't tolerate others.

That's all, I'll be the master for you guys. I'll call Lian Er back later and tell him to choose one he likes from the maids on my side. How about paying him compensation for you? "

As Jia Mu was speaking, she glanced at the big maidservants around her, and all the young girls she saw were shy, but they didn't dare to speak out against it.

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a long while, and seeing Jia Mu tilting her head and staring at her, she smiled and said, "My ancestor still loves me. The maids in this room of my ancestor are all like spring onions. If Lian Er is not satisfied, Knowing that I sent one away, he actually exchanged him for a better one, so why wouldn't he thank me?
It's just that I'm a little bit embarrassed. I originally thought about keeping Ping'er in his room in a few days, but the old ancestor was generous and gave me the person in advance. In this way, I have earned a person for nothing. What do you want me to do? Thanks to the ancestors? "

Although there was a thorn in her throat, Wang Xifeng still had to force a smile.

She could hear Mother Jia's intention to warn her, and for a moment she wondered if she had acted too hastily and did not leave enough escape for herself, which caused Mother Jia's dissatisfaction with her.

In fact, no matter whether a woman is generous or jealous, everyone is a woman, and everyone knows the reason. As long as Jia Mu is on her side, it doesn't matter.

But since Mother Jia said it today, she didn't dare to take this title, so she brought Ping'er up to show her "sweetness".

Mother Jia smiled and nodded, expressing her satisfaction at Wang Xifeng's understanding, and then she really sent someone to pass on Jia Lian.
