The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 4 Jia's illegitimate child

Don't say that this is an information-underdeveloped world.

The news about Jia's taking back the illegitimate child spread all over Ningrong Street before he got home, then the four kings and eight princes and some family friends, and then the entire imperial capital, and finally reached the ears of the current Holy Majesty through the Jinyi Army.

It seemed that the news was not exciting enough, and then came the news that Jia's illegitimate son died of a sudden illness halfway.

This naturally aroused people's discussions and conjectures.However, after discussing for a while, I felt that the illegitimate son died rightly, timely and well.

It would be strange if he didn't die.

While people were waiting for Jia's mansion to select an auspicious day for the funeral, news spread that the illegitimate son had broken out of the coffin in Tiekan Temple.

With the messengers of Tiekan Temple spreading the news all the way, the outsiders got the news before the people of Jia Mansion.

When Jia Lian and Zhou Rui rushed to Tiekan Temple to pick up Jia Min, many people had already rushed to Tiekan Temple to watch the excitement.

People wanted to see who this illegitimate child who caused a storm of public opinion was.

However, the illegitimate child seemed very calm at this time.

He was drinking tea with Miaoyu while playing Go.

Go is Yunzi, tea is Laojunmei, both are high-end products, and Miaoyu's aloof demeanor complement each other perfectly.

Miaoyu has always had an aloof style, labeling herself as not being in contact with the powerful.It's really surprising to drink tea and play chess with an illegitimate child today.

Only Jia Min knows the inside and outside situation.

Although Miaoyu practiced on the surface, she prided herself on being noble.In fact, there is still a secular heart.When I arrived at Tiekan Temple, I just wanted to use it as a springboard to enter Rongguo Mansion and become Baoyu's guest.

She treats others with cold eyes, but she is especially enthusiastic about Baoyu, which is the proof.

Today, I took the initiative to find him, the illegitimate son, because he was about to become the half master of the Jia family, so as to show goodwill to the Jia family and attract attention.

Just like Iron Kan Temple, it is also a springboard for her.It's a big day, but it's just treating him as a spare tire for Baoyu.

Jia Min came to this conclusion not only with the evidence in the book, but also with the basis of reality.

Miaoyu took the initiative to ask him to drink tea, play chess, chat with him, and asked Jia Min if he had ever read a book.

The dead ghost Jia Min has never read a book and is out-and-out illiterate.However, the reborn Jia Min is a top student.A college student from a previous life can be regarded as a person here.The level of ancient prose is also quite good, and he can speak two foreign languages.

Naturally, Jia Min would not admit that he had studied. Not only did this not match that dead ghost, but he also wanted to play a game of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

If he pretends to study for a year or two, and then goes to the exam to pass the exam, is he a child prodigy?
Of course, it is true that an illiterate person won the exam in a year or two, and it is difficult not to be a child prodigy.I'm afraid it will make those scholars and children who never pass the Juren examination envious and hateful to death.

When necessary, Jia Min was very happy to be able to slap his enemy in the face with this matter.

At that time, it might be entirely possible to turn one's spare tire status into a regular one.

Even in the future, in front of the literary young sister Lin, the intellectual beauty Baochai, and the peerless beauty Keqing, you can feel proud, right?

Although these cuties have some stink problems, sister Lin is mean and mean, but they are just a means of self-protection by relying on others, like a little hedgehog, to protect themselves and prevent others from hurting themselves.

Miaoyu is a bit pretentious and scheming, but she just wants to take the curved road to enter Jia's mansion, catch a wealthy son-in-law, and find a long-term meal ticket.

Baochai is naturally the most scheming one. When she came to the imperial capital, she originally participated in the If You Are the One emperor's draft, but was rejected because of unqualified hardware.She is suspected of being a BMW girl who is determined to marry into a wealthy family.It's just to find a backer, to find a place to settle down.

The common feature of these peerless beauties is that they end up miserable in the end.Now that he has caught up, he can't let them sink with the wrecked ship of the Jia Mansion.

If it doesn't work, it is also a good choice to get a small sampan and abduct them to an unnamed island.

Besides, which peerless beauty doesn't have stink problems?The more beautiful she is, the more problems she has.

What men need is tolerance, openness, grandeur, big picture and chivalry of protecting flowers.

Knowing from Miaoyu that the peerless beauty Qin Keqing is not dead yet, this is an opportunity.It's just that her matter is a bit troublesome, her seniority is wrong.

With Jia Min thinking so wildly, he naturally lost the game of chess.

Sure, lose well.Wouldn't it be a shame to win a charming girl?

"Brother Ming, let's go, the old lady and wife may be anxious to wait."

We are all here, and you are still playing chess here.

Jia Lian felt that Jia Min was a little ignorant of current affairs.

Are they in a hurry?Not likely.

Although Jia Min thought so, he got into the car.

So, a group of six carriages set off, marching towards the city in a mighty manner, followed by spectators along the way.

When I arrived at Ningrong Street, I opened the curtain and looked around. There were people standing on both sides of the street, pointing and pointing from time to time.

Are you still welcome?Not so.Was it organized beforehand?The atmosphere doesn't seem too warm.If the little flags were waving and shouting "Welcome, welcome, welcome," it would be like that.

The convoy didn't stop, and went directly through the gate with two big stone lions.As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large, somewhat empty courtyard, which looks as deep as 50 meters.

Just looking at this courtyard proves that the Jia Mansion does have some background.

According to the book, there are nine gates in Jia's mansion.This doesn't seem like a good thing.

Ancient buildings were custom-made in many cases.Who can have nine doors?That's the emperor's palace!

A normal prince's mansion has seven gates, but a state-level government like Jia's mansion should have five gates.

However, the Rongning Second Mansion has been doing this for more than a hundred years, and it seems that this is not a big deal.Perhaps this dynasty is different from other dynasties?

The convoy turned a corner and entered another courtyard, which was smaller than the previous one, but the scene became lively.

The surrounding area is full of flowers and trees, some of them are familiar, some are not, so it is difficult to study them carefully for a while.

Jia Lian and others in front got out of the car, and Jia Min got out of the car immediately.The people waiting not far away began to gather around.

The leader was a handsome young man who looked about eighteen or nineteen, taller, thinner, very white, handsome and unrestrained, resembling the little fresh meat from his previous life.

"My nephew has met my fourth uncle."

The young man bent slightly and bowed lightly.

"This is Brother Rong from the east."

Jia Lian made an introduction in time.

"Oh, Brother Rong, is your daughter-in-law feeling better?"

For some reason, Jia Min cared about his wife the first time they met.

"It's much better, thanks to Fourth Uncle for thinking about it. The Second Master has something to say, and I want you to go see him first."

Why are you so concerned about my wife!

Thousands of horses galloped in Jia Rong's heart.

The second master is Jia Zheng, Jia Min's cheap father.

A group of people soon arrived outside the gate of Dongpozhai, Jia Zheng's study.

"The master invites the fourth master to go in."

A man in his 30s was already waiting at the door.Looking at the clothes, he looks like a follower.It should be Li Shi'er, Jia Zheng's long-term follower.

Jia Min followed him in, and saw several people gathered around a table, playing chess and drinking tea.

Sitting in the middle seat was a clear-cut man in his fifties. Although he was not standing, Jia Min quickly judged from the length of his upper body that this man was about 1.7 meters five.Wearing a Confucian scarf, his face was expressionless.

On the left and right, there are three middle-aged men of about the same age. They should be Zhan Guang, Shan Pinren, Cheng Rixing and others who were invited by Jia Zheng.

"The unfilial son kowtows to the master."

Although Jia Min didn't want to kneel and kowtow, he did.

There is no way, when you get here, you have to abide by the rules here.Now is not the time to be impulsive.

"Get up."

Jia Zheng said expressionlessly.

However, there was an expression on his face immediately.

Jia Lian and Jia Rong next to him had been secretly staring at Jia Zheng's expression, and they immediately caught Jia Zheng's expression, which was a trace of displeasure.

Because Jia Zheng hadn't finished speaking, Jia Min got up.

The two looked at each other and smiled imperceptibly.

It seems that the second master doesn't like this illegitimate child very much, which is a good thing.

"Thank you sir."

What Jia Min said seemed to be without sincerity.

"Go to the old lady."

Jia Zheng waved his hand and buried his head on the chessboard.

Damn, don't ask my dead old lady?I almost died, and you didn't ask about the situation?You don't care about my body?Am I still your son?

Alas, this cheap old man is like this, it seems that what is written in the book is still correct.You didn't scold me as an evil animal today, you just gave me face.Sure enough, it is cheap and not good.

When I went out, I saw a big beautiful woman waiting at the door.

Her hair is combed in a bun, and a hairpin is stuck on it. From a distance, I don't know what it is made of. A few beads are dangling gently on the hairpin.

Duck egg-shaped face, fair and tender skin, a pair of curved eyes, seems to be able to speak.His lips were pursed lightly, seemingly motionless.

The upper body is a blue waistcoat, which fits tightly and sets off the beautiful curves.The two mountain peaks undulate gently with breathing.

The green trousers exposed under the skirt are trimmed with a yellow piping, and a pair of dark green embroidered shoes are glued to the ground.

"The servant has seen the fourth master."

The woman bent down slightly, then raised her head, with a demeanor that was neither humble nor overbearing.

"But sister Yuanyang?"

Jia Min was almost certain that this person was Jia Mu's big secret mandarin duck.

Yuanyang showed a slightly surprised look, obviously a little surprised that Jia Min recognized her.

"It's the servant girl. The servant girl came to pass on the words of the old ancestor. The old ancestor was a little tired. He asked the second master Lian to lead the fourth master to meet him elsewhere first. See you some other day."

Why am I also your own grandson, the first time you visit the door, you will be tired.This is the rhythm of not wanting to meet each other.

It's fine if you don't want to meet, this is setting the tone for the mansion and declaring that I am not welcome.

This old lady must be a little impatient, she is not a general partiality.

"Since the ancestor ordered, I will go elsewhere first. When the ancestor is free, I will go to pay my respects."

Looking at the backs of Jia Min and others leaving, Yuanyang was a little confused.

How did he know it was me the first time we met?

Naturally, Jia Min didn't have the time to pay attention to Yuanyang's doubts, he had to go to other hills in the mansion to pay his respects to finish the procedure.

On a narrow flower path, five or six people blocked their way.

Looking at that look, it is very unfriendly.
