The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 19 Guiding Jia Lian
Naturally, Mu Xu didn't know about the recent bustle in Jia's mansion. When he came to the outer study, Jia Lian had already been waiting here.

When the two met, Mu Xu asked Jia Lian to sit down and ordered someone to bring tea.

Jia Lian sat down, and then he said that he was interested, and it was really about Xue Pan's affairs, and then he handed over the gift list from Xue Pan's family.

Mu Xu took the gift list and put it on the table without looking at it.laughed,
"Brother Shi is really polite, don't say that you and I are family friends, and besides, I just said a few words casually."

"No matter what, it's all thanks to the son's help." Jia Lian continued,

"Besides this matter, the main thing is that the old lady at home wanted to thank Wang Hao for her love and care for Cousin Lin."

After hearing this, Mu Xu asked,

"I don't know if Lin Shimei is in good health after the Wu hospital is treating Lin Shimei?"

Jia Lian replied,

"Cousin Lin has recovered a lot since she took the medicine prescribed by Wu Yuanzheng. I heard from my wife that I haven't coughed much since autumn this year."

"That's good, and my mother's wishes are not in vain."

The two talked for a while, and a little girl from Concubine Zhang came in.

She came in and bowed to Mu Xu, and told him what Concubine Zhang had said. It turned out that the old concubine wanted to keep Wang Xifeng at the mansion for dinner, and asked him to take care of Jia Lian.

When Mu Xu agreed, the little girl saluted Mu Xu and Jia Lian again before leaving.

Seeing this girl's rules, Jia Lian couldn't help sighing in her heart, this is the rules that a rich family should have.

Unlike in my own mansion, the cats and dogs around the elders also have to be respected.Just like him, he is said to be the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, but who takes him seriously?When I saw the nuns and girls in the old lady's room, I treated them with courtesy.

Jia Rong in the East Mansion next door was worse than herself. When she saw Lai Da and Lai Er, she came to call out Grandpa Lai.

There is no way, who let my father not live up to expectations, and the old lady only has Baoyu in her eyes, and he, the decent heir of Rongfu, can only live in the second room.

Seeing that Jia Lian's expression was not right, Mu Xu hurriedly asked him if he felt unwell.

Jia Lian replied that he was afraid that Wang Xifeng would not be able to speak, which disturbed the princess and princess.

Mu Xu naturally knew that this was an excuse, and it was not good to ask other people's privacy. How could he know that Jia Lian thought so much just because his girl knew the rules.

When they were at the dinner table, the two then talked about the fun places in Shenjing City.

I have to say, it is not a family, do not enter a family.Wang Xifeng is good at speaking, and Jia Lian is not bad either.

Speaking of these is not only vivid, but also can always take care of Mu Xu's mood.

Mu Xu didn't know what to say about Jia's mansion in the original book. Could it be that a broken stone is so good, and a decent heir would not be cultivated. Strange.

Although there should be deeper reasons for the decline of the Jia family, but with the method of cultivating descendants of the Jia family, even if it is not defeated in the original text, it is estimated that it will not last long.

It has always been a taboo for a family to have no successor.

Judging from Jia Lian's cleverness, he should be able to do well if he seeks an errand in the court seriously.

To be honest, Mu Xu liked Jia Lian quite a bit when he read the original work in his previous life.Because he is the only person in the Jia family who can still do business. Although he is a bit lecherous, he still has a conscience.

To say that he is the only person who can handle serious business is really not flattering him, because he handles the Jia family's foreign affairs.And it's funny to say that the other person who can do things is none other than his wife Wang Xifeng.

It is said that he has a conscience because he really did not have a big evil in the original book, when Jia She and Jia Yucun conspired to steal the stone nerd's fan.Jia She even beat him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed because he said, "For a few fans, it's nothing to do to ruin someone's family."

Perhaps the only criticism in the original book is that he went to deal with the funeral of Lin Daiyu's father, Lin Hai, and swept away the Lin family's wealth.

But it can't be all his fault, he may have been greedy for some of them, but most of them have entered Jia's mansion, or how did the Grand View Garden, which cost several million taels, be built.

This is also the reason why Mu Xu felt sorry for Lin Daiyu and hated Jia Wang's family. He didn't even like Jia's mother.

Your family spent several lifetimes of family wealth, and even forced a little girl to write the poem "Three hundred and sixty days a year, wind, knife, frost, and sword force each other hard", and finally ended up crying and dying.

Among them, Jia Wang's is the most hated one. In this original book, he recites Buddha every day, but he does worse than anyone else.

On the one hand, he disagreed with Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu's marriage, and spent other people's money.On the one hand, he still seduced Xue's family with the golden and jade romance, and kept receiving benefits from Xue's family.It can be said that this woman is both greedy and vicious.

Mu Xu remembered the events in the original book, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.Having another glass of wine with Jia Lian, he deliberately asked,
"What is brother busy at home all day?"

Jia Lian didn't think much, and replied naturally,
"Help the uncle's house with the foreign affairs."

Mu Xu pretended to be surprised, "Hey, isn't that right, Brother Shi is not the heir of the Rong Mansion, why does he live in the Uncle's Mansion?"

Jia Lian replied with an ugly face,
"Because I lost my mother when I was young, the old lady took me to her knees. After all, the old lady is old, so I followed my uncle and aunt..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't go on talking, in fact, he also knew in his heart that the situation in his house was not in compliance with the rules, and sometimes he had to deceive himself when he thought about it, and he didn't want Mu Xu to point it out today.

Seeing his ugly face, Mu Xu didn't care, and said,

"The last time I was a guest in your mansion, I didn't see Uncle She Shi. You said that he was ill, but I didn't think much about it."

"I heard the meaning of Brother Shi's words today. Could it be that Shibo She doesn't live in the main courtyard of the mansion?"

"If you ask me to say that Uncle Xi is too careful, although the Rongxi Hall is regulated by the Duke of the Kingdom, it only needs to live in the side courtyard of the main house."

As he spoke, he deliberately shook his head, as if admiring Jia Amnesty's courtesy.

Jia Lian felt even more aggrieved, his father was not wise, he was driven to the East Road Yard, and he was almost going to live in another house, no wonder his father wanted to open another black oil gate in the East Road Yard, he thought it would be It was done on purpose for others to see.

But now the side courtyard of the main hall of Rongguo Mansion lives in the second bedroom. Thinking of this, Jia Lian drank another glass of wine and put it heavily on the table.

Mu Xu pretended to be concerned and said, "Brother Shi, what's on your mind, why don't you tell me to listen, I promise it will only enter my ears."

Jia Lian ate too much wine, just now he was provoked by Mu Xu, and he didn't care about outsiders seeing the excitement in his house, so he explained the situation in the mansion.

Of course Mu Xu knew it in his heart, and still made a surprised expression,
"I'm afraid it's not in compliance with the rules in your mansion? If you let someone who is interested know, I'm afraid you will have to participate in your mansion regardless of age. Doesn't the old lady care?"

Jia Lian thought, no matter what, the old lady handed over the entire Rong Mansion to the second room, just like Wang Xifeng's wife, who said she was in charge, but the key to the warehouse was in the second room.

Recalling that the old lady used to say that in the future Rong Mansion will be owned by Baoyu, he didn’t think much of it when he heard it, but now it’s ridiculous to think about it, if Rong Mansion is all owned by Baoyu, then he should How to deal with yourself.

Jia Lian was very upset, the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know who to talk to, so he decided to go back to the mansion and talk to Wang Xifeng, but then remembered that she was Wang's niece, and she always turned to the second room on weekdays.

Looking at Mu Xu in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up. It is only bystanders who know the truth. It is better to ask outsiders for their opinions. It is about his own interests. How can he let outsiders see his own jokes.

He didn't hide anything at the moment, and told about the things in his house in detail, and also what the old lady and the second room did on weekdays.

Mu Xu listened, thought for a moment, and then pretended to hesitate and said,

"There are some things I shouldn't have said, but I have a crush on Shixiong. If I don't say it, I'm afraid Shixiong will be harmed by others in the future. This..."

When Jia Lian heard that someone was going to kill him, she was so frightened that she woke up from the wine, and hurriedly asked,

"Your Majesty, are you kidding me again?"

Seeing Mu Xu's hesitation again, he quickly got up and bowed, and said eagerly,
"I also ask the son to look at the friendship between our two ancestors and give us some advice."

Mu Xu got up to help him sit down, waved to the servants around him to go out, and then said in Jia Lian's eager eyes,
"According to what Shixiong said just now, the old lady and the second room of your mansion will want Jia Baoyu to inherit the title of your mansion in the future, am I right?"

Jia Lian nodded naturally, he is not stupid, he just deceived himself and others in the past, and he didn't point it out, so he didn't dare to think about it.

Seeing him nodding, Mu Xu went on to say,
"Brother also knows that the royal title is inherited and has its own laws. Where is it that one's own family closes the door and gives it to whoever it is, isn't that a mess?"

Then he guided Jia Lian and said, "Brother, think about it, under what circumstances, the title of your mansion can pass on to the cousin of the second room instead of passing the title of brother, who is a serious successor?"
