Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 290

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and after [-] days of lingering in Qianqing Palace, the imperial concubine's Zigong was sent to the Xianling Funeral Palace outside Tianshou Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, where she would be buried with Xuanlong for more than a full month.

Because some descendants of the royal family of the Zong family are far away in the south and the north, and the journey back to Beijing is far away, so they don't have time to attend the funeral of the Qianqing Palace.There is also the funeral of the Queen Mother as the suzerain country, and the Dagan court will also send obituaries to several neighboring countries, and the royal families of these countries will also send people to Beijing to express their condolences.

Oh, after the death of the old concubine, Jiade still conferred the posthumous title on his biological mother, posthumous title: Respectful, Honest, Filial, Quiet and Compassionate.

It's now mid-April.

Yang You returned to Beijing. He couldn't make it to the funeral, and now he is presenting his mausoleum to observe his mourning. Jia Ying made a special trip to meet his friends and learn about the situation in the north.

The news that the grassland is about to be chaotic has been fermented for nearly half a year, and there is a lot of noise in Beijing, but until now, no results have been seen, making people have to doubt whether the news is true or not. Than patience.

After returning from Xianling, Jia Ying went to find Jia Lian.

"It's rare to see you in the mansion."

The two brothers get along as they please, and they always meet with a few words of sarcasm.

"What are you talking about? My own yard. If I'm not here, where else can I go." Lian Er had lived a very comfortable life recently, with a rather high-spirited appearance, and soon he didn't know who he was.

"It looks like something good has happened?" Jia Ying looked at Lian Er's erratic appearance, and found it funny.

A month ago, this guy was still begging me to help him leave the capital earlier, pursuing his own world of two, seeing Sister Feng as if he had met an enemy, but now he has another face.

Lian Er couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said: "I also have something to look for you. It was originally a month ago, but because of the national funeral, I almost forgot about it."

"what's up?"

"Liu Xianglian once came to look for me."

"Why, did he go back on his word?" Jia Ying wasn't surprised. Human nature is such that what is delivered to your door always feels contemptible, and what you don't get makes you more greedy.

Lian Er nodded and said, "Looking at him like that, he seems to be somewhat regretful."

"Well, if I knew today, I shouldn't have accepted the invitation of the third sister. If I hadn't pulled Liu Xianglian to the door, this would not have happened. Now the third sister is still arguing to become a monk. Let me and the second sister No matter how much I persuade you, I am willing to change my mind."

Jia Ying didn't know what to say, he had always respected Youshi, but he didn't know much about You's second sister You Sanjie, he had met them in Dongfu that day, and even ate with them together After drinking, she has a beautiful appearance, and her temperament is hot and tender. It's no wonder that such a woman goes to a family like Ning's mansion and doesn't make gossip.It's not that Jia Ying is a gentleman and can sit still, it's just that the two women are not his type.

"You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing. She is your third aunt. Even if there is something, I shouldn't open my mouth."

For Jia Ying's words, Jia Lian was not surprised. After getting along for so long, they knew each other's temperament more or less.From his point of view, except for those few in the mansion, Jia Ying's attitude towards others was always a bit indifferent.

It was probably passed down from one of the ancestors' blood. This kind of cold temperament does not distinguish between East and West. The elder of the East Mansion, the girl Xichun, the West Manor and his old man Jia She, all have this personality.

"That's not what I'm talking to you about. Liu Xianglian didn't know where to get the news that it was related to you. I didn't ask about the specifics, but I agreed to help him spread the word."

When Jia Ying heard this, she wondered, "He wanted to see Third Sister You, so why did he come around here?"

As he said that, he looked at Jia Lian again and asked, "Could it be that you are taking my name for something?"

Lian Erhun didn't care and said, "What can I do? I'm just worried that Liu Xianglian will use his martial arts skills to mess around, so I use you to support the scene. He even dares to beat Xue Pan."

Jia Ying thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Since what he said is serious, let's meet."

"Yang You has returned to Beijing. If you think of a foreign job, he can help you find a post as a general judge in Shanxi. The title of a second-rank general is also sufficient."

Having a title and having an official position are two different things, just like Jia Ying himself, Uncle Jingning, and Chaopin Jue today, but they just sound nicer, the key is to look at the soldiers and horses in their hands. Military experience.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lian Er said, "I was just about to tell you, so I won't go as a foreigner."

Jia Ying looked over in confusion.

Mentioning this, Jia Lian said excitedly: "The day before the national funeral, I invited the old lady and the second sister, and the old lady agreed."

After hearing this, Jia Ying was speechless for a long time, and didn't know what to think.

To be honest, when Lian Er asked him to help him find a foreign job and wanted to take Er Sister You to leave Beijing, Jia Ying agreed in his heart. As far as the current embarrassing situation between him and Sister Feng is concerned, there is no shortage of ways to deal with it coldly. Sister Feng always No matter how long the hand is, it is impossible to reach the second sister You who is beside Lian Er from such a distance.

Well, how to say it has changed.

"Sister Feng agreed?"

Besides, Jia Ying couldn't think of any reason why Lian Er was happy about this matter.

"You guessed it right. To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with her sudden virtuousness. Instead, I feel a little ashamed of being with her in the past. She said that since she couldn't hold her back, she couldn't just stay stiff, but she just needed me to answer her." Zhuang, restrain yourself from now on, and bring the second sister into the mansion once the national funeral is over."

"Now that I have my second sister, I'm completely relieved."

Listening to Lian Er's self-talk, Jia Ying looked at him with a hint of pity, why is this guy as easy to coax as a fool, do you call Sister Feng virtuous?

Seeing Jia Ying's strange gaze, Lian Er thought he didn't believe him.

"Second, don't believe me, I'm serious this time. I was really absurd in the past, but that's not my nature. It's a last resort to resist domestic violence. She's changed her personality now, and I didn't If you need to continue to freeze, man, you should always be more magnanimous."

Why is the word domestic violence so novel when it comes out of Lian Er's mouth?

Obviously there was a chance to save it, but he went up to give the head away by himself. Jia Ying didn't know what to say.

As for Sister Feng's change of character, he didn't believe it at all.

What is Sister Feng's motto? She never believes in retribution from the underworld. Such a person will not shed tears when he sees the coffin, and will suddenly change his temper?

"Do you believe it?"

Jia Ying felt that she had said something nonsense.

Sure enough, I only heard Lian Er say: "Why don't you believe it? The old lady has agreed to do it. Are you afraid that she will go back on her word?"

In fact, Lian Er also had her own plans in mind. Ever since the farce at the birthday party, Sister Feng would not even let him touch him. Now, every day and every day, as long as he wants, she will follow him. They also follow him, but it's not like before. If they want to change to a new way, they have to beg again and again, and they are frequently rejected, which seriously affects the harmony of husband and wife.

If he hadn't changed his temperament, he would have followed him like this. If it had been like this, his Second Master Lian would not have had sex with the Bao Er's family.

Looking at Lian Er who was still lusting after her, Jia Ying couldn't help but want to remind her, but she opened her mouth, how should she speak?
Said that Sister Feng is playing 36 tricks, please enter the urn?Or is Sister Feng thinking about the life of Second Sister You?

"When are you going to take people into the mansion?"

"It will take a while until the limelight of the national funeral passes."

"There are some things you don't like to hear, but I still want to say them."

Jia Ying looked at Lian Er and said: "Now you are the serious master of the Rongguo Mansion, and your status is different from before. You know why the Eldest Master didn't get a title. During the national funeral, if you dare to marry without authorization, how many heads do you have to grow?" It's enough to cut. What about the stone nerd, isn't he just picked out by outsiders?"

"But, my second sister and I have already paid homage." Lian Er didn't care much about it, but Lao Tzu stumbled before him, which made him a little worried.

"Speaking of Second Sister You, Zhang Hua's family, I told you to send them to other places, did you do so?"

Lian Er said with a guilty conscience: "The money has already been spent, and his family also agreed to divorce. They begged me not to leave their hometown, and I can't force anything."

Jia Ying was a little annoyed and said, "I know you are good-natured and kind-hearted, but you can't be kind to a woman. This will harm yourself. If you want to do everything, you should do it cleanly and don't leave an excuse for others. .”

"Do you think that it is kind of you to give money and leave their family outside Beijing? The Zhang family will miss you? Childish! How many men can bear to take away their wives and daughters? You are not afraid that their family will go to the Yamen to sue one day. Are you taking advantage of your power to repent of your marriage and grab your wife by force?"

"Second boy, is it serious? They would have the guts?"

Without Sister Feng, they naturally wouldn't have the guts.

"Let's not talk about anything else, you send someone to see if Zhang Hua's family is still there."

Jia Lian thought about it secretly, and after a long time, he called out: "Call Xing'er."

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and added: "Forget it."

Turning around to look at Jia Ying who was inside the room, he said, "Second brother, the few around me can hide it from others, but they can't hide it from my room. You should send someone there."

Jia Ying shook her head and said, "I said earlier that I just pretended to be ignorant of the matter between you and Second Sister You. I'm telling you this today because I don't want to see you stumble in the future."

"Second, I"

"Brother Ying is here." While speaking, Sister Feng's voice sounded outside the door, and then the curtain was lifted, and Sister Feng walked in with a smile on her face, Lian hurriedly stopped in the middle of her words.

"You two brothers, what are you talking about?"

Sister Feng took off the cloak on her body, handed it to Ping'er, looked at Jia Ying and said, "If you don't say that you are brothers, each of you, he won't see you anymore, You just returned to Fu'an and gave birth a few days ago, and you came here."

While talking, his eyes turned back and forth on the two of them again, and he asked with a smile: "Why, I'm not chatting hotly with you, and when I come, they all become dumb. Could it be that you speak ill of me behind your back? "

Lian Er was full of worries and didn't want to start a conversation, Jia Ying laughed and said, "I don't know who else in this house dares to speak ill of you."

"Hey, these words are flattering me. Do I still hear less of those words that curse me?"

With that said, Sister Feng looked up at Jia Lian.

Lian Er smiled and said, "Look at what I do."

"It just so happened that you came back, you were chatting with Brother Ying Er, I'll go out for a while."

Jia Ying was not used to Lian Er's not treating his brother as an outsider, so she sat quietly.Sister Feng looked at the two suspiciously, wondering whether the two brothers really said something bad about her.

Jia Lian explained: "A few days ago, Liu Xianglian asked me to bring a message to the second child, saying that there was something to talk about, but I was busy and forgot. Now I have to answer someone's letter."

"Second, wait for me for a while."

Jia Lian was good at talking nonsense, Jia Ying didn't expose it, choosing a date is worse than bumping into the sun, since I decided to meet, let's do it today, and nodded first.

"Look, where are the girls in the room? They don't even know how to serve a cup of tea. Ping'er, serve tea to Erye Ying."

When there were only two people left, Sister Feng spoke first.

"It's not an outsider, what is the second sister-in-law up to?" Jia Ying asked.

Sister Feng sat down on the other side of the couch, while Jia Ying sat on a chair inside the room.

"In the past two days, a few new relatives have come to the mansion. First, Xue Biaobaoqin from my aunt's family came to Beijing to seek refuge, and then my wife's niece and two nieces from Mrs. Zhu's sister-in-law also came. The old lady loves to be lively. So he kept him and told me and the girls to arrange to live in the garden, and then I settled him down, and it was necessary to send some money and arrange a few servant girls to take care of him."

"You guys and girls, who cares about these things, the people who come here are all relatives, and you can't break the etiquette. Everyone in each room must be taken care of, otherwise it will inevitably make me unfair again, just this one , is enough for me to be busy."

"Second sister-in-law who is capable will do a lot of work. In this house, if it is thoughtful and decent, there are few people who can compare with you." Jia Ying casually said a few compliments, which made Sister Feng happy for a while.

"I heard that the old lady has granted Brother Lian a happy event?" Jia Ying asked casually.

Sister Feng looked at Jia Ying with a smile and said, "The relationship between your brothers is so good, why don't you know about it? Why bother to ask when you know it well."

Jia Ying opened her mouth to speak nonsense: "I've been busy with the national funeral recently, and I don't even have time to go back to the mansion. Some time ago, I was taking care of my aunt at the Lin mansion. I didn't know this, I only found out today."

Sister Feng didn't believe it at all, she just didn't say anything.

"Congratulations to the second sister-in-law yet."

"Congratulations on what?"

"Second brother Lian has applied to the Ministry of Rites to ask for a letter of appointment for the second sister-in-law. I think it won't be long before the second sister-in-law's letter will come down."

Speaking of this, Sister Feng also showed a smile. From now on, she doesn't have to look down on Youshi's commandment. Of course, the benefits are more than that. Although he was in charge of the house in the past, he had no real name. After all, his name was not justified. If it's not going well, you have to look at the two wives' eyes in everything you do, and you don't do your best to please.

It's different now, Jia Lian inherited Rong Guojue, she is the rightful owner of the Rong Mansion, she is the official mistress of this mansion, from now on she doesn't have to look at anyone's eyes, and she is not afraid of two If the wife is unhappy, she will be the housekeeper.

When the old lady is here, she follows the word filial piety. After a hundred years, the whole family will be good or bad, depending on what she says.

Sister Feng felt like a thousand-year-old daughter-in-law was finally about to make it through.

"It's a matter of nothing, the concubine's new funeral, I don't know how long I'll have to wait." Sister Feng said politely and modestly.

Jia Ying nodded along with the words: "That's true, but as long as the title is still on Lian's second brother's head, it will not be a matter of time before the order is ordered. Husband and wife share the same fate, even if there is something, there is no need to fight for a moment. Although the order is not down , but your status is different now, as the official grandma of the Rong Mansion, most of the family's peace and harmony in the future will fall on your head."

Sister Feng heard the implication, what is meant by not having to fight for a while, clearly meant something else.

"Second Master Ying, our Second Master invites you to go outside, saying that Uncle Liu is here."

Jia Ying immediately got up to bid farewell to Sister Feng. He said everything he could say and did everything he could do. can't figure it out
let it go.
