The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 265

The news that the Jia family's mother was crowned a noble concubine was like a gust of wind, sweeping through every family in Beijing.

Many well-known families are secretly discussing, is it possible that the century-old government residence of the Jia family is really about to regain its glory?
Otherwise, how could the holy family be so thick?All of a sudden, the mansions that had a good relationship with Jia's mansion sent people to congratulate them one after another.

The other families are so concerned about this matter, let alone the Jia Mansion itself?
From the day when the news was received, Jia's mansion suddenly boiled over.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, etc., were ecstatic, busy putting on makeup and preparing to enter the palace to thank you.

Wang Xifeng, as a second-rank imperial order, is now naturally qualified to ride a big sedan chair and accompany Jia Mu and others into the palace to thank her.

Besides, this was the first time she enjoyed the rights brought by this status, so she was naturally very active. After receiving the order from Jiamu, she immediately went home and took out the Fengguanxia Piece that she had just made and spent a lot of money to wear.

Just when Jia Lian came back from the Yamen, she stopped and asked, "Our mother has really been promoted to a noble concubine, have you heard the news?"

Jia Lian was wearing an official uniform, sitting casually on the edge of the bed, watching Wang Xifeng who tried on clothes repeatedly.

Wang Xifeng has a slender figure, but her capital is relatively strong, and her stature is also among the group of women who are taller.At this moment, all the outer clothes are removed, and he only wears a thin and corseted middle coat, and he wears sporadically golden imperial clothes, which sometimes feel inappropriate and have to be taken off and put on again. A pretty young woman in her prime, with the most graceful beauty of her figure.

This is his own wife, Jia Lian naturally sees it aboveboard.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng also noticed Jia Lian's peeping. Seeing his admiration and smiling eyes, she was obviously very satisfied with her beauty, and she was ashamed and proud in her heart, so she gave Jia Lian a quiet look, pretending not to know Jia Lian. I was looking at her, turned back and only looked in the mirror, while smiling:
"From now on, I will obey you.

Just now the master also said that when you built the garden, you took this situation into consideration, so you insisted on building our garden according to the best standards.

The master can't praise you enough for this, saying that you have foresight and foresight. If it weren't for you, our family would have made a big mistake.

But at the same time, the master and the others are also puzzled. I don't know where you got the news. It's really strange to be able to predict it so early in advance.

The old lady also asked me, but how do I know, I can only say that you are mysterious now, and you don’t explain a lot of things to me, and I don’t know..."

Wang Xifeng was thinking about it, and under the service of Ping'er, Feng'er, Xiaohong and other maids, it took a long time before she barely put on the imperial uniform.

Suddenly felt a pair of arms on the waist, and at the same time, a familiar breath came from the shoulders and neck, Wang Xifeng grabbed Jia Lian's tricky hands, and said coquettishly, "Don't make trouble, you're wrinkling my clothes."

"Why, your man is more important than a piece of clothing?"

Realizing that Jia Lian was putting more and more weight on her body, Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at the person in the mirror, and reprimanded: "What nonsense, you are going to enter the palace later, if it gets dirty , wouldn’t it be a big deal for your noble to blame me for my disrespect.”

"Since you are worried about this, why don't you go, anyway, it's fine if there are old ladies and the others entering the palace.

It's not to receive rewards, but what's the point of being led around the palace by groups of court ladies and eunuchs, standing around in expensive places for half a day?In my opinion, it would be better not to suffer that. "

"what do you know……"

Wang Xifeng blushed, ashamed to tell the truth.

What women care about is naturally different from their men.

Even if it is punished to stand, it is a great honor to be able to stand in front of the empress and empress dowager.

If it is possible to have a word with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager again, it will be a matter of great honor if it is spread.

Besides, at worst, you can still have a cup of tea in the palace of the new imperial concubine, right?
Who would have thought that the elder sister of the Jia family, whom she met back then, would have such a fortune as today, she would have to congratulate her in person, and let her have a look at her new obedience by the way...

So, don't look at it as just a trip to the palace, there are many details that women care about here, how can Jia Lian, a rough man, understand!

Jia Lian really didn't know what it meant to kneel down to a bunch of irrelevant women, but he could tell that Wang Xifeng was definitely going.

So he leaned into her ear and whispered something, which immediately made Wang Xifeng's face turn red, and she looked back at Jia Lian with tears in her eyes, not daring to answer a word.

Ping'er and the others stood close by, but even with their pointed ears, they could only hear a few words indistinctly.

Words such as "come back at night" and "this dress" are not very clear, but it is not difficult to understand why my second grandmother reacted so much just by connecting them together.

Wang Xifeng was not allowed to be guessed by the maids, she glanced at them with dark phoenix eyes, saw that they bowed their heads obediently before passing by, then changed the subject and asked Jia Lian, "Will you escort us into the palace later?"

She saw that Jia Lian refused to let the maids change their clothes, so she asked.

When Jia's mother travels, the descendants of the two prefectures accompany her as guards. This is the most basic rule.

But Jia Lian smiled and said: "My wife is so beautifully dressed, I don't worry if I don't keep an eye on her."

"Poor mouth." Wang Xifeng laughed.

……

Outside the gate of the mansion, housekeeper Lai Da and others had already prepared a five-by-eight-carrying sedan chair, and Jia Zhen had also arranged for dozens of accompanying guards in Tsing Yi to stand on both sides of Ningrong Street.

The overall scene looks unusually rich and prosperous.

Seeing Jia Lian coming out on horseback, Jia Zhen and his son greeted him with a smile.

"Last time when we were discussing about planning to build a garden, I didn't believe Brother Lian's words, but who knew, Brother Lian really got what he said.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Brother Lian should tell us all about it, how did we see the good fortune of our family? "

For people from aristocratic families, maintaining face relationship is the basic accomplishment.

Therefore, before she thought of a way to deal with Jia Lian, Jia Zhen would not fall out with Jia Lian, and even smiled more than before every time they met.

But Jia Lian is the same, the only difference is that Jia Lian knows Jia Zhen's malice towards him through You's mother-in-law and his own eyeliner in Ningguo Mansion.And Jia Zhen probably didn't know what Jia Lian was thinking, otherwise, when he saw Jia Lian, he probably wouldn't be able to laugh.

"Brother Zhen is serious. I just guessed casually, and I didn't expect what happened today. Brother Zhen's words are really flattering younger brother."

"Brother Lian is modest, isn't he? We have no outsiders here, and we are all brothers and nephews of the whole family. Is there anything we can't say to us? Or, Brother Lian felt that we were not serving in the court, so he told me It’s useless, so I’m not happy to say…”

Jia Zhen pretended to be joking, but her words were more instructive.

It was because there were some children of the Jia clan present who had heard the news and came to watch the excitement, such as Jia Huang, Jia Qiong, Jia Chang, Jia Yun and so on.

A little smile appeared on Jia Lian's face. Could it be that Jia Zhen wanted to take advantage of her status as the patriarch to exclude him from all the children of the Jia clan?
It's true, these Jia family's children who usually eat and wait to die, relying on the family's shadow to live a much better life than ordinary people, most of them are ambitious and talented.

This kind of person, of course, is bragging and farting after eating wine. I think I am the best in the world, and I think I am first-rate in intelligence. I can't be an official because of bad luck and bad background.

If Jia Zhen, the patriarch who was also eating and dying, shared the same hatred with them and resisted Jia Lian, who looked down on them when he became an official, they might really be twisted into a rope, but it's another matter if the knot is not strong.

Although Jia Lian really looked down on these bastards from the Jia family, he didn't bother to fight with them, so he laughed and said, "Since Brother Zhen insists on asking, I dare not tell the truth.

To be honest, the younger brother is just guessing based on the current situation.

To give the simplest example, Baoyu's uncle, our uncle, led the army to patrol the border and made great achievements.

And the uncle is already a first-class one, so how can His Majesty treat our mother badly?

Brother Jane, right? "

After Jia Lian finished speaking, he ignored whether these people could understand or not, and rode away with a smile.

Jia Rong and the others looked at each other, although they didn't quite understand the necessary connection between the two things Jia Lian said, but somehow felt that Brother Lian (Second Uncle Lian) was so powerful and so unpredictable!

After all, Jia Zhen is the head of the Ningguo Mansion, and has dealt with people inside and outside the palace. She has a keen sense of politics, and quickly realized what Jia Lian meant.

The prince can't be sealed, so it's only logical that the emperor bestow favor on his niece!
For a while, he felt very uncomfortable.

He didn't want to admit that there was a gap between him and Jia Lian!
But the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't convince himself that Jia Lian's judgment was wrong, so he felt very uncomfortable.

How did he know? Jia Lian was born knowing it.

Now that things have happened, it is much easier than they imagined to find a plausible reason.

It's just that maybe Jia Lian didn't expect that he guessed half of the truth right away.
