240 Reunion after a long absence
240 Reunion after a long absence
At this time, Jia Lian was also leaning against me with Sister Feng, and I sat on the kang with yours in my arms and looked at the gifts from Qiqi, Daiyu, and Gou'er. He sighed and said, "It is said that good fortune tricks people, but I believed it. How could we think that there are things that can only be staged in this drama around us. I usually look at this snow geese and feel that sister Lin treats her differently. At that time, I just thought that they had a good relationship growing up together, how can I think that she has such a great fortune."
Jia Lian put one arm around Sister Feng's waist, rubbed her body with the other, and kissed her face and neck from time to time, which made Sister Feng's body feel weak. She looked back and gave him a coquettish look, "What are you doing in broad daylight?" What? I’m not afraid of being seen as a joke.”
"Who's joking? I've missed you so much these two years I've been away, why don't you let me have a sweet kiss when I come back?" Jia Lian tilted her head and pecked her on the mouth presumptuously after speaking, the loud noise scared her The two jumped.
Sister Feng came back to her senses and patted Jia Lian with her face blushing, "Just do it, I don't know you yet? I don't know how you're messing around outside!"
"My grandma, you have wronged me to death. Uncle Lin is so sick that I dare not go out to have fun. The whole family depends on me!" , can't say it!This tigress in the family is a serious one, don't dare to provoke her!
"Hey, don't you come to scare me with those words. I've never seen a cat that doesn't steal fish, a mouse that doesn't eat greedy, and you don't talk about Uncle Lin. I don't believe it anymore." Wang Xifeng snorted, and her husband-in-law How could she not know?She couldn't bear to watch him, not to mention he stayed outside for two years, but she just turned a blind eye, so where would she care if he was so far away? "Let me be serious. You have been in Yangzhou for two years, but you haven't heard of this matter? What about a fourth-rank official in the capital? Or a close minister of the emperor, you think Uncle Lin doesn't know anything about it?"
"I haven't heard that Uncle Lin is very ill. He seldom wakes up and has been kept on medication." Jia Lian really didn't know about Lin Ruhai's feigning illness. There were only a few people who knew about Lin Ruhai's real illness. Jia Lian lived in the outer courtyard and did not often come to the inner courtyard. The servants of the Lin family were sold out several times, and those who remained were more loyal.Lin Ruhai usually walks around in his own yard at most and does not come out for activities, so it is very good to hide this matter.Second, Jia Lian doesn't worry about it, where is Yangzhou City?Where did Jia Lian go? He is rich, free and unattended, but he is like a fish in water. If you ask him which brothel in Yangzhou city has more beautiful girls and which garden has the best skinny horses, he will probably know. Be clear.He doesn't know much about Lin Ruhai, let alone a little girl like Xueyan.
It's just that Sister Feng asked, and he couldn't say that. He could only pick up some things he knew and evade the important ones and replied, "Don't care if Uncle Lin knows or not, it's useless to say these things now. Just treat that girl well." , all in all, it’s good for us.”
Jia Lian thought that this snow goose was really his lucky star!Let's not talk about the previous master, but if he can get along with her two brothers.After that, the future and money will not be worrying.What's more, she lives at her own house, and her daughter-in-law took good care of them in the past. This ready-made relationship can't be wasted!
"Well, I know, it's good that I've been facing them all the time. At first, I thought that sister Lin would be pitiful this time. A good official daughter has just become an orphan without father and mother. The future is uncertain. How do you live? I don't think that someone recognized a god-sister, but this god-sister has two elder brothers who are high-ranking officials. If you want me to say that Uncle Lin knew about this a long time ago, he must have arranged it a long time ago. , What a shrewd person he is, that's Tan Huaying, how many people can get such a one out of the test. Can you give yourself, the only daughter, some backup?"
"Yo, our grandma not only has a compassionate heart, but also such a shattered mind!" Jia Lian laughed twice, and when she saw that Sister Feng was going to beat her, she squeezed her hand and said, "Grandma is right." , I reckoned! Uncle Lin knew the identity of this Xueyan early in the morning. You don’t know, I heard about her name in Yangzhou City! I heard that when she was just five or six years old, she Some eminent monks kowtowed to her, saying that she is capable of reincarnation. Although the people outside only knew that it was someone from Lin's mansion who didn't know her name, everyone in the mansion knew that it was the girl Xueyan who was talking about it. The mansion inquired carefully, and they said it was so evil, they said everything, and even said that she could see ghosts!"
Sister Feng was startled by Jia Lian's deliberately weird tune, she patted her chest and said, "Really? Don't scare me with nonsense! I lived together a few years ago, and I didn't see what she has. It's different, I don't believe what you say!"
"Who knows if it's true or not, but it's all spread like that! Just listen to her and be polite to her in everything. After all, there is no such thing as a storm, and it can be spread to so many people. It can be seen that there were some people in the beginning. About this matter, I thought that if it was true, then this snow geese might have a great fortune and origin. It’s just a cameo scene. I think the latter is more likely, but it’s none of our business whether it’s true or not, you think! At that time, her brother didn’t have the ability to value her so much, so many years let her After suffering so much as a girl, how can I make up for her? In short, getting along with each other will do us no harm but a lot of benefits, just remember."
"Remember, remember, don't worry! Everything will be taken care of for you. I'm not bad to them. Besides, they've always been nice to me, and they like our eldest sister very much. Yes, seeing how rich and expensive the gifts are, I heard that apart from the old lady, our gift is the biggest!"
"It's just to thank me for taking care of me in the past two years. If you give it to you, you can keep it."
"Well, I see that there are quite a few gadgets for the eldest sister. They are not worth much, but they are rare and interesting. The eldest sister likes them very much, so she won't let others touch them!" Speaking of which, Sister Feng gave Jia Lian a sideways look, "I said No matter how much I waited, I didn’t come back, so I took my old and new cousins on a trip to the mountains and rivers, I’m sorry that I waited and waited at home and counted the days, my gray hair is about to come out.”
"I'm talking nonsense again. It's not that I took them out to play. I don't know how much I look forward to coming back soon. I have been alone for the past two years. You think I don't want you or our daughter! It's just borrowed The nobleman’s ship has to obey orders, if I can serve that master well, and leave a name in front of him, you can just wait for me to earn you an imperial order, and my wife will come back!”
"Really? Why is the nobleman so arrogant, tell me quickly, and also, why did you date this person?" Wang Xifeng regained his energy when he heard it.His eyes were piercing, as if he was looking at a better tomorrow.
"I told you that you still don't understand, I'll tell you later. It's not a good thing to know too much now, so be careful not to get involved." Ruo said that the master was hooked up by him.It would be better to say that someone took the initiative to find him. He didn't know why at the beginning, but after a long time he realized that he was probably a drunkard who didn't care about drinking!This is for this new cousin!
I don't know if they were old acquaintances before, or were they old friends with her two brothers?It's just that this matter is not easy to spread, so he can only keep it in his stomach and wait for the future.
"Oh! If you can't say this, you can always say something else!" After finishing speaking, Sister Feng leaned into Jia Lian's arms.He asked in a low voice, "How much money did you get back this time? But you have to give half of it to me?"
"What money are you making? Look at what you said. I just went to a relative's house to help out. Why do you think of me so much? This is the kind of person I am in your eyes?"
"Tch, you can go outside and say this. I don't believe it in this room. You, a person who can make money in a boiling oil pan, will see the profit but not the profit? Who are you lying to? I don't want to Just tell me straight up!" Sister Feng straightened her body abruptly, staring at Jia Lian with her red phoenix eyes. "Tell me, is that money spent on some wild woman outside?"
"My second grandma! What do you want me to say to believe it? How much money does Uncle Lin's family have for me? Don't be unreasonable!" Jia Lian kept calling for grievances, but she was thinking about this dead woman and Her aunt is the same, she can only deduct money from him, it is really hateful.
"No money? How could the Lin family have no money? I heard that Jin Jinfu carried a lot of big boxes. What's in them, can you tell me?"
"You ask me. Who should I ask?" Jia Lian was also depressed when this matter was mentioned. After staying in the Lin Mansion for two years, it was time to go to Gusu, only then did he know that there were so many large boxes in the warehouse of the Lin Mansion. , What Daiyu said she didn't know, it's just that her father told her to take them to Beijing and hand them over to the treasury.It is a crime of deceiving the emperor to say that all the things inside have been registered in the account book and the booklet has been put on.
Speaking of this, what else can he say?You can't just open those boxes with the shame of not thinking about it!It's not really about money or life.
"Really? What is so important? I heard that they are all sealed by the government! Didn't you open a box to take a look? I heard that it is safe inside. I guess it must be gold and silver. nice one."
"You also said that it is affixed to the government's seal! How can I open it? You are hoping that I will be bad, right! You are a little heartless, it's useless for me to miss you so much outside." Jia Lian said and took Sister Feng Push it on the kang, bent down and gnawed, which made Sister Feng laugh a little bit!
Ping'er, who was guarding the door, heard the teasing laughter in the inner room and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to let the little girls in the yard see her face, and took a deep breath to suppress the jealousy in her heart, but the nail prints on her palms betrayed her. her mind.
She has been with Sister Feng the longest and knows her temper best. If she shows a little love for Jia Lian, or wants to compete for favor, then the fate of the other three girls who came with her as a dowry will be the same. her fate.
But how could she be reconciled, she is obviously a stupid asshole, who was sold and helped to count the money!well!But life is good, there is no way.She can only bear it now, and continue to live on the basis of retreat. If there is a way, if you don't fight, you fight, right?If she hadn't stated that she wanted to marry a steward and continue to be a nanny, would it be her turn to be the housekeeper?Even when it's her turn, she can't sit still!
Although she got this position now, life is not so easy. The second master only let himself show up before driving her out. She has no children yet, and if she becomes pregnant in the future, she can still accommodate her. Own?It seems that it is time to find a way out for myself. Maybe I should consider what the second wife said. She is also my master's aunt and an elder. Even if things happen in the future, she has a reason to hold her own, right?
Ping'er was thinking about it when he saw the jade bracelet beside Mrs. Wang enter the yard.A little girl went up to say hello, quickly adjusted her mood and greeted her with a smile, "Why are you here? But what's the matter with Madam?"
"My sister asked me to come over and pass on the message that my wife sent someone to call the second master. It must be something, I don't know too much." Yu Chuan is Jin Chuan's younger sister, and she is not yet ten years old Usually, Jin Chuan always protects her, and only assigns her some light work, which makes her a little heartless now.Just do what you want, don't use your brain at all, don't worry about it, just like a child.
Yu Chuan's voice was not low.Jia Lian and Sister Feng in the back room heard it. Sister Feng hurriedly pushed Jia Lian off her body, sat up and buttoned her button, and said embarrassedly with a red face, "I don't know what my wife will ask you to do? It's improper. After the meeting, we have to eat!"
"What else can you do? Auntie is afraid of being like you, thinking about something in the Lin Mansion!" Jia Lian snorted dissatisfiedly lying on the bed, his desire and dissatisfaction coupled with his disgust for Mrs. Wang made him very uncomfortable. good.
Thinking of the words that Uncle Lin said to him when he woke up occasionally, even though they were all preaching, it warmed his heart, even though his father had never said those words to him.Why did he flatter that master so much, hoping to befriend Xueyan's two elder brothers? Wasn't it because he had heard what Uncle Lin said.I feel that some people have ulterior motives, and if this continues, there may be no good results waiting for him, but my father is not counted on, and he can only rely on himself to find a way out.
"How do you talk? Be careful to let people hear you, and let your wife annoy you."
"What wife? She is your kind of wife. Why haven't I seen you call her so close to my mother? I usually only see you go to her place to say hello to her sooner or later. Have you ever seen you go to my parents?" Jia Lian was immediately annoyed when she heard Sister Feng's words. up.There are a lot of things that he didn't think about before, but since Uncle Lin taught him, he also started to think about it carefully. He is not a stupid person, but he was blinded and no one disciplined him, so he never went in that direction. thought deeply.
At the beginning, Lin Ruhai's words of persuasion were just to look at Jia Min's face, thinking that he had helped a lot in Yangzhou, and hoping that if he stayed well, he would be able to take care of Daiyu more in the future.Later, when I saw that the child was asking for advice with all his heart, and the things he had experienced were really pitiful, I thought about teaching him more. It's shocking.
He can still tell who is sincere to him and who is not. One is his uncle who is very kind to him and has taught him well, and the other is his aunt who has been plotting against him. He can't figure out which one is more important to him?
He also thought of his grandmother's partiality. Although he felt uncomfortable in the past, he thought that he was so much older than Baoyu, and his grandmother took good care of him in the past, and he never cared too much about it, but after Lin Ruhai's advice, Thinking about my father who lived in that side courtyard, I felt so uncomfortable.
Seeing him just came back today, his good aunt called someone to come to her house, not to say that she felt sorry for him, but instead treated him like her subordinate in charge, he was the serious master of the mansion, saying To put it bluntly, after the grandmother passed away, their second room would be separated. Who gave her the right to treat her like this?The more Jia Lian thinks about it, the more upset she becomes. What is she relying on?
"Look at what's wrong with you. Your nose is not your nose, your face is not your face. Who are you showing your temper? It's my fault that I didn't show filial piety to your parents. Every day, the big family's human relations, food and lodging I don’t have to worry about which one to wear, I’m going to the wife’s office, I’m just going to my aunt’s place to report on daily things, you..."
"Okay, okay, let me say something and you should say something, who made you lose your temper?" Jia Lian sat up impatiently, remembering what Uncle Lin had hinted at, and the reason why his aunt had chosen this daughter-in-law for him that his aunt had said at the time, his eyes became more and more serious. Wang Xifeng was also taken aback by the look in her eyes. Although she relied on someone to support her and often made noises with Jia Lian, how had she ever seen him look at herself with such eyes?I was also a little timid for a while.
He murmured, "You, if you think I'm wrong, you can just say it. I will often go there to pay my respects when I have time in the future. This is okay! I am such a hard-working butler, and it is not for our future. Our child, why are you so fierce? Besides, your mother is not your own, and your father is not very important, they live so far away, and they have to go out of the gate every day when they pass by..."
As he said that, he felt a little wronged. He had been away for two years, and he was expected to come back anyway. Not to mention being sympathetic to her, but to face her with a straight face. She was really suffering! Weep.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll go over and have a look, and I'll talk to you when I get back." Jia Lian put on his shoes and got off the kang to adjust his clothes.Thinking about those things in my heart, can I talk to her?I don't know if she has one heart with me,
