The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 166 Invisible and sultry
Watching the fourth prince go back to the imperial city with a satisfied smile, Jia Lian suddenly realized that he has the talent to be a flattering minister...

It's a pity that Emperor Ningkang is the kind of emperor who is not easy to fool, so he can only work honestly and down-to-earth, so as to please the boss.

Turning around, he saw Jia Zheng walking slowly with his hands behind his back, "Lian'er, I heard that someone is coming from your uncle's house. Who is it? Why don't you stay and accompany me?"

"It's cousin Su, the eldest son of my second uncle. He has something to ask for my help."

Jia Zheng knew that the Zhang family was a thriving family, so he tried to restore the family relationship on behalf of Jia She, but failed, so he was more concerned.

"Your second uncle is a good man, and the son he raised is also outstanding. You are similar in age. It is right to have more exchanges, and it will also help make up the relationship between our two families."

Jia Zheng ordered such a sentence, and then asked suspiciously: "Who is the other person beside you just now?"

As soon as Jia Zheng said this, Jia Lian knew that Jia Zheng must have seen something nearby.Asking Zhang Su is just throwing bricks to attract jade.

Remembering that Jia Zheng has been an official in the court for more than ten years, he may not necessarily have met the fourth prince.

He didn't intend to hide it, so he moved closer and whispered to Jia Zheng: "I would like to tell the master, it is best not to publicize it.

The person who was accompanied by his cousin Caisu just now was the fourth prince of the current dynasty, His Highness King Xiao.He had a little matter to bother his nephew, but he didn't want to say anything, so cousin Zhang Su didn't stay long. "

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was secretly surprised.

He said that just now he saw Jia Lian and Zhang Su walking out with a familiar young man in the corridor, but he didn't expect it to be the Fourth Prince.

Jia Zheng didn't dare to be careless about the whereabouts of Tian Huang's nobles, he quickly nodded and said: "I know, don't worry, I won't tell others."

As he said that, Jia Zheng couldn't help looking at Jia Lian with a complicated expression.

At Jia Amnesty's funeral, there were countless princes and nobles who came to express their condolences, even the princes, how many came...

But those people are looking at the face of the Rongguo Mansion, they are old friends of the family, so they will interact with them.

And obviously, the fourth prince, who was only in his teens, obviously didn't come here for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion, he had a relationship with Lian'er!
Lian'er's personal friendship has expanded to such a level?
Ever since his daughter flew on a branch and turned into a phoenix, Jia Zheng didn't show it on the surface, but in fact, he was always floating on the road, and he was very happy in his heart.

I just feel that I am sitting on Rongxitang's buttocks, and I am much more stable.After all, he is considered half the head of the country anyway, so his status at home is naturally even more different.

Now it seems that Lian'er is really not to be underestimated.The old lady is indeed wise. It is the most appropriate way for us, uncle and nephew, not to have any quarrels, to manage the family business in harmony and to complement each other.

"Hey, you young people may be able to communicate casually, but I still want to tell you that His Royal Highness Xiao Wang has different identities after all. When you communicate with him in the future, you must remember that no matter how cautious you are, Don’t exaggerate, what you shouldn’t say, what you shouldn’t do, don’t be careless.”

Jia Zheng originally wanted to tell him not to get involved in the imperial family's infighting, but thinking that the fourth prince was an optimist among the princes, he probably had nothing to do with these things, so he didn't say much.

"Second Uncle, the carriages and horses have been prepared, and all the necessary documents and paper bindings have been loaded onto the cart. The stewards are asking when to leave." Jia Rong stepped forward and asked.

"Two quarters of an hour later, I'll go in and get ready."

After Jia Lian and Jia Rong finished talking, they turned around and cupped their hands to Jia Zheng, "My nephew understands what the master said. If there is no other order, I will go in. Later, Rong'er and I will go to Tiekan Temple to arrange for my father." The mourning hall, as well as cleaning and tidying up the place where the guests on the funeral night will come back to stay with us tomorrow."

"Well, this is business, you go and prepare. Don't worry at home, I will take care of you outside."

……

Asking Ah Qin to take down the 500 taels of silver and put it away, Jia Lian went back to the study and found the maid Baozhu and Ruizhu standing at the door.

Nodding casually in response to the greetings of the two maids, Jia Lian entered the door, and sure enough, besides his obedient maid Xiang Ling, there was also his nephew and daughter-in-law Ke Qing in the room.

Qin shi was sitting, drinking tea, while looking at the little maid Xiang Ling who was standing by the table.

It really looks like myself sitting in front of the makeup mirror a few years ago...

Qin's beautiful eyes like the stars and the moon made Xiangling feel uneasy, and it was difficult to walk away, feeling a little tormented in his heart.

Seeing Jia Lian walking in, Xiangling felt relieved, hurriedly moved out, and called to Jia Lian, "Second Master..."

Jia Lian touched a strand of braid beside her ear, then looked at Qin Shi, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Qin stood up with a smile on her face, first she was blessed, and then a bone-crushing voice followed:

"Daughter-in-law met uncle~"

After saluting, I replied: "Second Aunt still has a few words to explain to Uncle, so I came along with her. It's just that I haven't seen Uncle come back for a long time, so Second Aunt asked me to convey it to Uncle."

Every time Jia Lian went out, Sister Feng always had endless things to explain, but they were all trivial and repeated things.

The only thing I haven't mentioned before is that Sister Feng disliked Tiekan Temple and had to stop the coffin and receive family and friends. It was crowded and inconvenient, so she asked another person to go to Shuiyue Temple to clean up a few rooms and come out. live alone.

Sister Feng likes luxury and is used to having fun, so it is not surprising to have this idea.Jia Lian thought it was wrong at first. Although he had no respect for Jia Amnesty, the night before the burial, the two of them should watch the night together.

But thinking that Shuiyue Temple is only a few steps away from Tiekan Temple, it would not be a sin to pack up a loose place to let the wife who is exhausted during this period of time have a good rest, so she agreed.

"In addition, my aunt and mother-in-law said that my uncle was a man, so I was afraid that I would not be careful enough, so I asked me to go with my uncle so that I could help take care of the things inside..."

Hearing this, Jia Lian subconsciously asked, "Why did you arrange it again? Didn't you say to trouble Sister-in-law You?"

"It was originally my mother-in-law who went there, but the imperial edict of the Duke of Shan State passed away. My mother-in-law has to prepare a funeral at home, and I have to go to mourn tomorrow, so I can't get away, so I arranged for my daughter-in-law to follow my uncle..."

Jia Lian just remembered this.There are many high-ranking noble houses in Beijing, and one or two will die every now and then, and the contacts between people are very frequent.

Since Mrs. You couldn't go, it would make sense to let Mrs. Qin go. Originally, Jia Rong would also go with her on this trip, so it's okay to let his wife go there to help.

It's just how she hears Qin's accent, she doesn't seem to be traveling with her husband, but rather wants to go out with him for the night...

Seeing that Qin had finished speaking, Jia Lian asked Xiangling if the clothes and bags were ready.Xiangling replied that the preparations were almost done, but Qingwen found that the girls had messed up his set of clothes. She scolded the little girls earlier, and now she took someone back to reorganize.

Qin's own things were already ready to be moved into the car, so there was nothing else to do at this time, and he just waited to go out with Jia Lian.

Seeing Jia Lian sitting on the teacher's chair in front of the desk, ready to wait for Qingwen to come out, she stepped forward shaking her waist, and asked softly, "Are you disappointed, uncle?"

"??" Jia Lian glanced at Qin Shi.

"How do you feel, uncle is not happy when he heard that it was not mother-in-law who accompanied you there?"

Jia Lian frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Xiangling next to her, subconsciously stood back two steps, she felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, there was danger!

Seeing Jia Lian like this, Mrs. Qin became more and more convinced that Jia Lian was guilty. She simply put her arms on Jia Lian's desk, turned her body sideways, looked at Jia Lian with a smile on her face, observed the subtle expressions on his face, and continued to say aggrievedly:

"I'm not as capable as my mother-in-law, but during this time, I followed my mother-in-law and tried my best to help my uncle and aunt take care of things. It's really sad that my uncle despises me like this."

With her graceful body and the breath of a young woman rushing towards her, Jia Lian raised her head to meet Qin's condescending eyes, and found that there were [-]% of them beautiful and seductive, and [-]% of them were joking.

Jia Lian knew that the girls were probably acting as demons because there was no one in the room at this time.

I don't know if such a seductive attitude is sincere or fake...
