King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 316 Double Harvest

"Second Grandma, Second Master is back!"

Hearing the report from outside, Wang Xifeng, who was joking with Ping'er, muttered, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"It's really strange. In the past, when Second Master went out with Uncle Xue, he never came back until he had had enough fun!"

After saying this sentence, Ping'er gave his judgment: "In my opinion, the second master has really changed his character now, and he has improved even more since he added errands!"

Wang Xifeng saw Jia Lian's changes, and she was very happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on face.

"He can change his sex, I think the sun must come out from the west!"

As soon as Wang Xifeng finished speaking, Jia Lian walked into the room and took off the headgear he was wearing.

Ping'er stepped forward to take the hat, put it in a side cabinet, picked up the dust whisk, and cleaned up the snowflakes on Jia Lian's body, and at the same time ordered someone to bring hot tea.

"Yo... the second master came back so early, didn't you go to sit with a good friend?" Wang Xifeng smiled slightly.

Opening her arms and letting Ping'er do the trick, Jia Lian said with a smile: "Feng girl, look at what nonsense you are talking about, who else can get into my eyes except you!"

"Really? I looked at the mansion, but there are many people who have entered your eyes, let alone the outside!"

He seldom went out to fool around anymore, Jia Lian was suddenly unhappy when he corrected so many wives and still made such a mockery.

With a cold snort, he walked to the side and sat down, his expression became gloomy.

Seeing his complexion changed, Wang Xifeng felt that he had passed, and quickly stood up and begged for forgiveness: "Second Master is angry with me? I am a woman with long hair and short knowledge, so don't be angry with me!"

At this time, Lin Hongyu came in with a teacup, and Wang Xifeng took the teacup in his hand, and walked in front of Jia Lian with a smile on his face.

"Second Master, don't be angry, I won't talk nonsense in the future!"

Seeing that the steps given by Wang Xifeng were high enough, Jia Lian's dissatisfaction dissipated, and then he took the teacup from his hand.

At this moment, Ping'er interjected: "Second master drank tea, this matter will be considered closed!"

"Hmph, today I will not remember the faults of villains. If I do it again... I will not be so easy-going!"

After saying this, Jia Lian snorted coldly a few times, feeling extremely happy in his heart, this is what a man should look like.

After returning to the chair and taking a seat, Wang Xifeng asked, "Didn't you say today that you were going to show your face in front of Lord Thirteen, why did you come back so early?"

"Don't mention this matter, I went to Xue's house with Rong'er, and after the ceremony... I couldn't get close to the Thirteenth Lord!"

"When the Thirteenth Master was leaving, Brother Lu helped introduce us... We just talked to the Thirteenth Master for a few words, and let him know that we are already candidates for the Dragon Guard!"

Wang Xifeng twitched her lips and said, "In this way, it's your hot face sticking to someone's cold ass!"

Although the words were not pleasant, they were telling the truth, and Jia Lian had no way to refute them.

So Jia Lian changed the subject and said, "If you want to say that the one who showed her face the most today is Yun'er on the back porch!"

Through this period of contact, Wang Xifeng was already very familiar with Jia Yun, so she asked, "What do you mean?"

"Yun'er works for Xue's family and knows all about those foreigners' affairs. Today, when Master Thirteen asked, Xue Da fool didn't know the fart. It was Yun'er who helped him out!"

"The Thirteenth Master left just now, and even sent Yun'er an errand, now he can be regarded as the Thirteenth Master's disciple!"

Jia Lian's last sentence did not mean to be half joking, and Jia Yun is really different now.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This kid Yun'er was already very clever, but now... he can be regarded as flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix!"

"That's right... So when it comes to human life, I really can't explain it clearly. The old saying is that the world is impermanent!" Jia Lian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

However, their conversation also reached the ears of Lin Hongyu who was serving in the house, which made her both happy and worried.

I am happy that Jia Yun has a bright future, but I am worried that there will be a gap in the identities of the two parties in the future, and there will be no chance to join hands with each other.

The relationship between men and women is so subtle and elusive.

Besides Jia Yun, when Zhu Jinghong returned to the palace, he did not relax, but continued to be busy in the alley.

He wants to find out the specialties of each foreigner, group them according to their specialties, and at the same time urge them to carry out "research".

All matters, big or small, are temporarily presided over by Jia Yun, which makes him more tired than before but also more satisfied.

When the sun was setting to the west, Jia Yun left the alley and rode home against the heavy snow.

In the past, he traveled on foot, but today Zhu Jinghong rewarded him with a horse to show how much he valued him.

There is no doubt that Jia Yun is so proud of the spring breeze at the moment, that the bitingly cold snowflakes at this moment are all beautiful scenery in his eyes.

All the way to Beicheng, when he was approaching his small courtyard, he happened to meet Ni Er again.

"Second Master Yun...how did you ride a horse today?"

Ni Er, a man in the rivers and lakes, has sharp eyes, and it is easy to see that this horse is not simple, so he quickly approached and scrutinized it carefully.

"This horse... looks like a war horse in the army. It is rare to see in the market. How did the second master get it?" Ni Er asked curiously.

Jia Yun smiled and replied, "It was awarded by a nobleman!"

Although he was already working for Zhu Jinghong, Jia Yun always followed the principle of keeping a low profile, so he didn't say anything to show off.

"Now you are working for Xue's family, so this good horse...was also given by Xue's family!"

Faced with Ni Er's speculation, Jia Yun smiled without saying a word, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"A good horse...it really is a rare good horse, but it's not easy to raise it well!"

"Second brother also knows how to raise horses?" Jia Yun asked curiously.

"I haven't done anything before, so I know a little bit about everything!"

"In the future... I will ask my second brother for advice!"

Ni Er smiled heartily and said, "It's just a trivial matter, let's go... I'll buy you a drink!"

The two of them had said they wanted to drink a few times, but they hadn't been able to make it. Today when Ni Er mentioned it, Jia Yun naturally nodded in response.

After returning home, tied up the horses, and bid farewell to mother, Jia Yun and Ni Er went to the restaurant.

During the serving time, Jia Yun suddenly asked: "Second brother... do you know how many foreigners are there in the capital? Where do they appear?"

Ni Er is definitely a know-it-all about matters on the ground in the capital, and he started to talk about it when he heard this question.

Zhu Jinghong was interested in foreigners, so Jia Yun naturally wanted to know more about them, and he planned to get in touch with these people more in the future.

If he can find the talents Zhu Jinghong needs from among them, he will be more appreciated by this person.

There is no way, there is a faster road to advancement than being appreciated by noble people.

"For foreigners, there are not many in the capital, and there are not many in the capital...there seems to be some in the west city!"

"Tell me carefully!"

Afterwards, the two chatted freely, and after about an hour, the two of them returned home when it was dark.

Although Jia Yun returned late, the mother at home kept the lights on and waited until her son returned safely.

"Yun'er, the little red girl from the second grandma's yard came today, and she sent a set of clothes specially to thank you... What did you help her cover up last time!"

Hearing the voice from her mother's room, Jia Yun looked on the bed after responding, and she saw a stack of blue robes.

The material of the robe is of good quality, at least it costs ten taels of silver. The money must have come from Lin Hongyu's own house, which shows how much she cares for Jia Yun.

Picking up the robe, Jia Yun suddenly felt that she was also very lucky in her life.

After all, it is extremely difficult to have a double harvest in career and love.
