The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 80 Persuading Shen Conglin (please subscribe!)

Jia Shan and the four of them stayed in the ancestral hall until midnight.

She also slept until midnight, and in the latter part of the night, Jia Shan vaguely heard the sound of the door opening.

When he opened his eyes, Lin Zhixiao appeared in front of him.

"Lin Zhixiao, why are you here?"

Jia Shan asked subconsciously.

"Fourth Master, the time has come. I will take you back."

"So fast?"

Jia Shan raised her head and looked at the sky outside. It was pitch dark outside, with a few stars hanging in the sky emitting cold white light.

Jia Shan reached out and pushed Jia Cong and Jia Huan beside her.

Jia Huan only turned over.

Jia Cong opened his eyes drowsily and rubbed them subconsciously.

"What's wrong, Xiaosi?"

"The time for punishment has arrived. Lin Zhixiao is here to take us back."

"Oh, I'll sleep a little longer."

Jia Cong lay down again, and Jia Shan glanced at Jia Cong helplessly.

Turn around and continue calling Jia Huan.

"Huan'er, wake up quickly, Lin Zhixiao is here to pick us up."

Jia Huan was indifferent, and Jia Baoyu sat up from the quilt.

"Are you going?"

Jason nodded.

"The hour has come."

"Let's go then!"

Jia Baoyu stood up from the ground wrapped in a quilt.

Jia Shan glanced at Jia Cong and Jia Huan, who were wrapping themselves into insects on the ground, and then turned her eyes to Baoyu.

"Second brother Bao, please wait a moment, Huan'er and third brother haven't woken up yet."

"Then wake them up quickly."

Jia Baoyu urged Jia Shan impatiently.

"The ground in this ancestral hall is so cold and hard that I didn't even sleep well."

Jia Shan's eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly, it's true that nature is hard to change.

I just thought he had changed his gender after attending the academy for two days, and now he has returned to his former virtuous nature.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have so much hope for this gem.

Jia Shan resignedly reached out and continued to shake Jia Huan and Jia Cong.

Jia Cong couldn't bear it anymore and stood up from the ground.

Seeing Jia Huan still sleeping, Jia Cong frowned.

"Huan Laosan, if you don't get up, we will leave you here alone."

Jia Huan turned over again unmoved.

Jia Shan wanted to continue calling him, but Jia Cong stopped her.

"Stop calling him, let's go!"

Jia Shan and Jia Cong looked at each other and deliberately made the sound of leaving footsteps.

Jia Huan stood up from the ground.

"You really have to leave me."

Jia Shan and Jia Cong stood still and stopped. Jia Cong glanced at Jia Huan and rolled his eyes angrily.

"This ancestral hall is cold and hard. If we don't really leave, why should we pretend to leave?"

"you!"

Jia Huan turned his head to the side angrily.

These two brothers were really happy enemies, Jia Shan sighed.

"Let's go quickly, Huan'er!"

"If your third brother Cong really wants to leave, he will still stand here."

Jia Huan's slightly questioning eyes fell on Jia Shan.

Jashan's eyes were full of sincerity.

Finally, Jia Huan turned his attention to Jia Cong again.

At this time, Jia Cong stood there looking like a stinker.

"Four gentlemen, let's go!"

Lin Zhixiao spoke appropriately to break the silence.

"go!"

Jia Baoyu, who had been pampered since childhood, couldn't stay any longer and took the lead to step over the threshold.

Jia Shan followed Jia Baoyu and ignored Jia Cong and Jia Huan.

After getting on the carriage, the four of them wrapped themselves in quilts and closed their eyes.

Lin Zhixiao glanced inside the carriage.

"Drive the horse slower."

The groom nodded, and after a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion. The door was opened wide as a greeting, and when the carriage entered, the door was closed.

In this way, Lin Zhixiao sent the four people back to their respective yards without any obstruction.

When the four of them woke up again, it was already broad daylight.

Jia Shan was called over by Jia She.

When he arrived at Jia She's house, Jia She's eyes were all black and blue, and his whole resentment was about to turn into reality.

Jia Shan looked at Jia She with a smile.

"Dad didn't sleep well last night."

Jia She nodded with resentment on his face, and then his expression became serious.

"My ancestor really said last night that he would entrust your father with my dream."

Jia Shan was stunned, Jia She was actually afraid of her ancestor's dream.

Thinking of the lie she told last night, Jashan nodded seriously.

"Dad didn't sleep well because of this?"

Jia She sighed deeply.

"Your father and I have been so useless all my life, how can I sleep!"

"Why can't you sleep? It's your grandfather's decision to behave like this. It's not your own decision. Even if the ancestors are dissatisfied and don't go to my grandfather, they will do something to you."

Jia She was stunned, this was really the case.

It's not like he thought about it himself, not to mention that he gave birth to two sons who were not up to par.

This is not a disguised contribution to the family.

The relieved Jia She took out an invitation from the drawer.

"Your uncle asked you to come over and attend the cultural banquet."

During the cultural banquet, Jia Shan instantly remembered the experience of being taken to the cultural banquet by Shen Conglin.

The people there don't know how to speak well, just like each other.

Of the three sentences, he couldn't understand two and a half.

What's even more hateful is that they also like to tease themselves. When they see that they don't understand, they start to laugh at him.

Even though they meant no harm, he still didn't like them.

Thinking of this, Jia Shan looked at Jia She pitifully.

"father"

"no!"

Jia She, who had already anticipated what Jia Shan wanted to say, immediately interrupted and rejected Jia Shan.

Jia Shan looked at Jia She without wanting to speak.

Jia She sighed again.

"Shan'er, you are not young now, and you have an official status. You have to go to all the banquets that your father tells you to go to. Networking is the foundation of a person's career. Without connections, it will be difficult to move forward in the court."

Jia Shan looked at Jia She silently.

Dad, don’t you feel bad when you say this? He is still old even though he is young.

After all, he is still a child. Is it appropriate to let him make connections and socialize as a child?

Jia She called Lin Zhixiao directly and asked Lin Zhixiao to keep an eye on Jia Shan.

Lin Zhixiao promised to complete the task and saluted Jia She.

Jia She was so sleepy that he went to catch up on his sleep and asked Lin Zhixiao to take Jia Shan to the Shen family.

The prepared carriage arrived, and the coachman took down the horse stool from the carriage.

Jia Shan got into the carriage resentfully.

Soon after arriving at Shen's house, Shen Conglin's book boy was waiting outside the door.

Jia Shan got off the car, and the bookboy came to Jia Shan diligently.

"Zhengbi, you're cumming again."

When Jia Shan saw the book boy Zheng Bi, she subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Zheng Bi's head.

As he stretched out his hand, Jia Shan suddenly realized that this boy was taller than himself.

Zhengbi lowered his head and let Jia Shan touch it.

Jashan touched it with her hand happily.

"Why do you grow up so fast, Zhengbi? I remember you were about the same size as me before."

Zhengbi smiled coquettishly at Jia Shan.

"How many years older than you, Fourth Master? My parents are poor. I didn't have enough to eat at my parents' house before, so I looked a little thinner."

Jia Shan nodded and naughtily pinched the flesh on Zhengbi's belly with her hands. "It seems like your recent meals are pretty good~"

"That's right. The uncle treats me very well. He lets me eat whatever he eats."

"Fourth Master, please come in quickly. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Rajashan went in enthusiastically, and Jashan followed him.

The Shen family's house is structured like a courtyard, with four rooms in total from the entrance to the east, west, east, and west.

After Shen Conglin got money, he renovated the entire Shen family's old house based on the structure and construction of Jia Shan's yard.

Nowadays, it has been greatly changed, and the entire yard has been made very elegant.

The main stroke opens the door to the east chamber, which is Shen Conglin's study.

Jia Shan walked in and was shocked by the Shen family's collection of books.

He knew before that the Shen family had a lot of books, but he didn't expect there to be so many.

There were actually more books packed out than Lin Daiyu's.

This huge study room was divided into three parts by Shen Conglin. One part is for the Shen family's book collection, and the other part is Shen Conglin's desk, which is used for writing and reading.

The remaining part was turned into a reception area by Shen Conglin.

"Uncle, your study is really nice."

Stepping inside, Jia Shan couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Conglin, who was reading, raised his head and looked at Jia Shan with a smile in his eyes.

"But some books, no matter what, can be better than yours."

"It's different!"

Jia Shan sat down opposite Shen Conglin.

"Uncle's study has a scholarly elegance, and mine has..."

Jashan chuckled.

Like Jia She, he likes all kinds of antiques.

It's just that his aesthetic point of view is a little different. The cultural relics collected by Jia She are all exquisite, and passing on just one piece can save future generations.

He combines the eccentric aesthetics of his ancestors into one, and they are all the funny essence of his ancestors.

He also put these essences together, and when you walk in, it's a collection of jokes.

"I heard you collected another set of cups."

Jason nodded.

"I received a set, but it was a gift from someone else. I didn't spend any money, so uncle, don't talk about me."

Jia Shan looked at Shen Conglin with desire for survival in her eyes.

Shen Conglin sighed again.

"Your father, General Jia, has a normal vision. Why is your vision so hard to describe?"

Shen Conglin sighed again.

Jia Shan felt insulted and looked at Shen Conglin with her lips pursed.

"Everything in the world has its own good, and I just like this. Although it is a bit weird, uncle, you can't just look down on me. One day there will be a group of people who like these things as much as I do."

"so what?"

Shen Conglin's eyelids raised slightly.

"so."

Jashan smiled evilly.

"So when uncle and Princess Hengyang reach that point, will Your Majesty agree with you two?"

Shen Conglin was stunned, why did this happen?

Jia Shan stared at Shen Conglin without blinking.

"Speak up, speak up."

Jia Shan urged Shen Conglin with a gossipy look.

Shen Conglin looked at Jia Shan's head with a dark face.

Jashan covered her head.

"Princess Hengyang and I are brothers and sisters. You must not ruin the reputation of the princess."

'yes!yes!yes! '

Without ruining the reputation of the princess, even a blind person can see that there is something special between you two.

The emperor of this dynasty married women just like the previous dynasty, and there were several consorts from poor families.

If you like it, say it boldly, there is nothing to be shy about.

Shen Conglin was a little annoyed by Jia Shan and hit Jia Shan on the head a few more times.

Jia Shan covered her head and looked at Shen Conglin aggrievedly.

"Uncle, what are you afraid of? The princess obviously likes you too. How dare you say that you won't take the imperial examination this year? There is no princess reason."

Shen Conglin's complexion turned darker.

He really couldn't say it without him, but he did have some feelings for the princess.

Seeing Shen Conglin become silent, Jia Shan stopped covering her head, and her bright eyes fell on Shen Conglin.

"If you like it, say it loudly. Princesses like Princess Hengyang are rare. It's definitely not a loss to marry her, especially"

Especially Princess Hengyang is so powerful. If my uncle marries her, then he will have a powerful princess aunt to support him. Then he can become a playboy and walk around in Kyoto.

This was his little thought, but Jia Shan didn't dare to say it.

Otherwise, according to Shen Conglin's character, his head should not be used as a wooden fish.

After listening to Jia Shan's advice, Shen Conglin began to hesitate.

Maybe he really should show his love to the princess. Even if he doesn't succeed, he will have no regrets in his life.

Thinking of this, Shen Conglin slapped himself hard.

How could he think so? What if the show of love fails and the princess ignores him.

After all, he was just a poor student with no power or background. He was able to meet the princess only because of his teacher.

He is nothing without a teacher.

Rather than the relationship between them becoming awkward, it is better to keep this love deep in our hearts. Shen Conglin's eyes gradually became firm.

"uncle!"

Jia Shan pushed Shen Conglin with her hand, and Shen Conglin looked at Jia Shan seriously.

"Don't be so talkative. The princess is a fairy in heaven. Your uncle and I are just insignificant grains of dust on the earth. How can we be worthy of the princess?"

Shen Conglin, who had just been brave for a moment, was beaten back to his original shape by his own slap.

Jia Shan was really angry to death with Shen Conglin's stupid head.

Does he have to let the princess confess to him before he can understand the princess's feelings?

The brightly dressed Princess Hengyang appeared at the Shen family.

This cultural banquet is no ordinary cultural banquet, it is held under the emperor's order, and will be attended by envoys from the Qianxiang Kingdom and the royal family.

In this regard, the emperor was afraid that something would happen, so he sent Princess Hengyang to preside over it.

Princess Hengyang, with no change of expression on her face, stood at the door of Shen Conglin's study.

The princess maid spoke carefully.

"Your Highness, do we want to go in?"

Princess Hengyang shook her head towards the maid.

Then the maid's expression became filled with indignation.

"Then why is Mr. Shen so confused about amorous feelings? The princess acts like even his little nephew can see it. Why can't he see it?"

"Don't talk too much!"

Princess Hengyang's face darkened.

The maid glanced at Princess Hengyang and closed her mouth.

Then the scene in the house changed.

Jia Shan stopped trying to persuade Shen Conglin about his relationship issues and took the initiative to ask about the cultural banquet.

Shen Conglin talked with Jia Shan in detail.

In summary, this is a diplomatic banquet, which will be attended by members of the royal family and envoys from various countries.

Jashan's eyes lit up.

"Will there be group fights then?"

Shen Conglin was stunned and frowned in disbelief.

"How could such a disgraceful thing happen to a civil society that demonstrates the majesty of our great country?"

Disappointment flashed in Jashan's eyes.

Barbarians do not understand civilization, especially the Qianxiang Girl Country.

This country is the most shameless and has the least moral bottom line.

To show him the majesty of a great country, you need to use force to show it, otherwise he will not understand.

Suddenly Jia Shan thought of Tanchun.

Daqian was defeated, and Tanchun seemed to be the one she married far away.

Thinking of this, Jia Shan frowned.

Shen Conglin continued to reason with Jia Shan, but Jia Shan said she didn't want to hear it.

In these little days, it’s time to blast him with little boys.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

Because of Jia Shan, under Shen Conglin's instructions, Zhengbi went out to pick up two chickens.

Princess Hengyang, who was standing outside the door, smiled awkwardly when she saw Zhengbi coming back.

"I heard that senior brother also wanted to participate, so I came over to join him."

Zhengbi nodded, holding the chicken and bowing to Princess Hengyang.

"Princess, come in quickly, the uncle is inside."
