Red Mansion Beijingwang

"Heaven and earth."

With nothing to do, he had nothing to do but eat wine and listen to music. He put on a white brocade dress and walked on the winding and gorgeous corridor, heading towards Luoyue Residence with familiarity.

Not far away, a young man in brocade clothes walked towards him. He looked slightly surprised when he saw Shui Rong's figure, and tried to dodge him. But now that he had encountered him, he could not lose his etiquette, so he had no choice but to bravely go up to him.

Shui Rong also saw the person coming. He had a handsome face and rich brocade clothes. He was Jia Lian, the legitimate son of the eldest son of the Duke of Rong.

I met my "uncle" while eating wine and listening to music. It was really interesting.

Jia Lian also moved forward at this time, groaned deeply, cupped his hands in greeting and said: "Young master is also here, it's a coincidence that he went there."

"Oh"

Shui Rong raised his eyes to look at Jia Lian, who was smiling. His eyes moved slightly. He was having fun outside, and the title of the prince was inappropriate. He thought he wanted to remind him, but he didn't expect that Jia Lian was so understanding. He was indeed Rongguo Mansion. He is very thoughtful in his ability to handle external affairs.

After a deep groan, Shui Rong gently chinned his head and said in a clear voice: "Brother Lian came here alone?"

"Heaven and Earth" is a place of pleasure, and there is no skin-trading. Most of the people who come here invite their friends to eat wine and listen to music in groups, and there are very few people who are alone.

Of course, Shui Xiong is an exception. After all, there is a Cuili that sings specifically for him, so it is not boring to come here alone.

Jia Lian smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty, I don't have any hobbies. It's enough to have wine, food and music. If I have some free time, I come here to have wine and listen to music, so I didn't invite anyone."

Shui Rong didn't care in his heart. Who didn't know that Jia Lian had a lustful temperament. Occasionally, listening to music could make him happy, but most of the time, it was melodious music that matched his mood.

However, he didn't say much. He just looked at Jia Lian's sullen expression and made some guess in his mind. He was afraid that the Yaksha at home was too tight and had only half a day to spare, so he didn't have time to invite people!

Fortunately, his wife is gentle and generous and will not be like this.

After groaning, Shui Rong said, "Brother Lian, if you don't mind, you might as well sit down together."

Jia Lian looked surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the prince would invite him. This kind of treatment should not be available to the rare gem.
Although they are both legitimate sons, and he is also the eldest son of Duke Rong, he should be valued more highly. However, Jia Lian is not loved by Jia's mother. No one in the mansion pays much attention to him. Most of the elders focus on him. After Baoyu, even his daughter-in-law was always in front of Baoyu and behind Baoyu, and they only wanted to please Jia Mu and the second wife.

I'm used to this kind of transparency, but I'm really not used to it. However, when the prince invited him, how could Jia Lian refuse, so he hurriedly accepted.

Upon seeing this, Shui Rong said nothing and led Jia Lian into "Luoyue Residence".

As soon as Jia Lian sat down, doubts suddenly arose in his heart, and he asked softly: "Young master, are you familiar with the Du family?"

Jia Lian also knew something about Du Yuejiao. She had already refused to receive visitors. It was true that no one wanted to come in to this "Luoyue Residence", but no one had this honor. Looking at the people guarding the courtyard outside, they didn't stop her. There must be something inside.

Shui Rong took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to look at Jia Lian, and said casually: "Yue Jiao and I are close friends."

Although it was said casually, it was indeed true.

Jia Lian understood clearly when he heard this. He had long heard that there was a noble person behind the Du family, so no one had ever dared to cause trouble "in the world." Now that he thought about it, this noble person was the Prince of Beijing County.

After a while, Du Yuejiao walked over, looking at the young man sitting upright with full eyes, and said in a clear voice: "The young master is here."

Shui Rong chuckled when he heard this. Du Yuejiao was a sensible person. Now that there were "outsiders" around, she naturally couldn't call her boss, let alone a young man.

After a pause, Shui Rong introduced: "This is the young master of the Rongguo Duke's mansion. Let's come over and listen to a little song. I can help you arrange it."

When Du Yuejiao heard the words, she moved closer and said with joy, "You are the young master of Rongguo Duke's mansion. How could the slave family not know about it?"

To say that Du Yuejiao's tone was calmer, Shui Rong didn't think much about it, but what did he mean by his beaming expression? Isn't it because the Duke of Rongguo's house belongs to Shu Rong's wife's family, and they are such a spoiled brat that they really need to be dealt with.

At this time, Jia Lian also stood up to greet him. As a pleasant person, how could he not see the fishiness in it, so he was polite.

Du Yuejiao nodded slightly and said immediately: "Since the two young masters are here to listen to music, I will show my shame."

With that said, he arranged for the maid to prepare.Not long after, fine sandalwood was lit in the incense burners in the elegant room. Through the hazy curtains, a graceful figure could be vaguely seen sitting in the next hall, burning incense and cooking a piano, and the sound of string strings could be heard. Euphemistic and charming.

In front of the plan, there was a banquet of wine and food on the table, and while they were drinking wine, Jia Lian said: "The Du family has extraordinary piano skills. I am lucky enough to listen to it today, and I am blessed by the young master."

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously when he heard this. In his opinion, compared to the so-called piano skills, this little girl's ventriloquism was the best.

However, these are not enough to tell outsiders. After glancing at Jia Lian, Shui Rong asked casually: "Brother Lian is still white now, right?"

Jia Lian's expression paused when he heard this, and he didn't try to hide it. He said a little embarrassedly: "If I go back to the young master, my father donated a colleague to me. I usually help with the housework."

Seeing this, Shui Rong understood clearly that there was a custom of donating officials in the Qian Dynasty, usually with a name. For example, the Tongzhi donated by Jia Lian had a false position, had no real power at all, and never had to do anything. This kind of thing is not called an official position. .

After a pause, Shui Rong said with a smile: "Brother Lian is the legitimate son of the eldest son. Sooner or later, the title of Rongguo Duke will fall on you. It doesn't matter whether you are white or not."

In the Duke of Rongguo's palace, Jia She was the one to seize the title, and as his only legitimate son, Jia Lian was naturally the next one to seize the title. This was understandable.

Jia Lian looked confused when he heard this. Although this was true, few people mentioned it, and the title property of Rongguo Duke's mansion was given to the second wife. What's the use of just inheriting a title.

It's just that although the prince is kind-hearted at the moment, after all, he is also the son-in-law of the second wife, and they are not confiding in each other, so how could Jia Lian talk nonsense.

After groaning, Jia Lian said harmoniously: "Young Master is right."

Shui Rong naturally saw Jia Lian's strange look and had some rough guesses in his mind. After all, anyone who was not blind could guess a thing or two about the abnormal property distribution in the Rongguo Duke's mansion.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong smiled and said, "If Brother Lian has plans to become an official, I can help him."

Shui Rong, as a son-in-law, has to help out the Duke of Rongguo, especially Jia Lian, the future successor to the Duke of Rongguo. It's not that he is only concerned about the Yue family, but Shui Rong needs to put things in order in the capital. , Rongguo Gongfu did not make a trip in private.

The so-called courtesy reciprocates, so I wanted to support Jia Lian so that the Rongguo government would feel at ease. Only when they need support in the future will they be willing to do so. This is called investment.

Don't think that Shui Rong is investing randomly. Jia Lian is a typical dissolute playboy with many problems, the biggest of which is "lust", and he is not an ordinary lust.

The original work records the affair with the second Bao family on Sister Feng's birthday, hooking up with several girls while her daughter was out of the smallpox room, and Jia Jing's secret marriage to the second sister You during his mourning period. His deeds were so numerous that even Jia's mother scolded him for "not caring about the good stuff." "Everything smelly comes into the house", he is a "dirty seed", he can be said to be the leader, second to none.

However, although Jia Lian was lustful, stole love and jade, and flirted with married women, it is an exaggeration to say that he was a complete "bad guy". Although he was lustful, he was not evil. Even if he was romantic and happy, he would try his best to To achieve "mutual love", unlike his father, Jia She, who robs, coerces and induces, whether it is a girl or a member of Bao's family, she and Jia Lian have a feeling of "love between husband and concubine", it is not The overlord forced his bow on "Hu Lai".

The most advantageous proof is that when his father Jia She ordered him to seize the ancient fan from Shi Duozi, Jia Lian just came to the door and begged the other party to sell it. Seeing that the other party refused to sell it, he had no choice but to give up without any further threats. There was no inducement, not to mention Jia Yucun's unscrupulous and insidious frame-up, and even more so, he later reprimanded Jia Yucun for ruining his family and career for a few fans.

From this point of view, Jia Lian is still a person who has a bottom line in doing things, and what he lacks is nothing more than personal morality.

But what do you say about this so-called personal morality? Wei Wu's ambitions have far-reaching influence.
Support is support, but Shui Rong will not support you randomly. At least you have to prove your worth. Now this Jia Lian can be regarded as Shui Rong's feedback to the Duke of Rongguo.

When Jia Lian heard this, he became more and more surprised. The prince was trying to support him.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be happy in his heart, but he was facing Jia Lian. He paused, cupped his hands and said, "I appreciate the kindness of the young master, but I don't like to study and seek an official position. If I become an official, I'm afraid I will lose the prince's love." , and someone needs to take care of the affairs in the house, so I hope the young master will not blame you."

Shui Rong didn't say anything when he heard this, but he couldn't help but have a higher opinion of Jia Lian. If nothing else, at least he was self-aware.

After groaning, Shui Rong asked casually: "I'm curious, you can't spend your whole life worrying about the affairs of the government, right?"

Jia Lian didn't understand Shui Rong's attitude and felt a little uneasy. After hearing Shui Rong's question, he thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I want to do business to make some money, but I don't have any good skills."

For Jia Lian, the inheritance of the title is a sure thing, but with Jia Mu's attitude, he should not think too much about the title. Therefore, his main purpose is to make money, so that his life can be guaranteed.

However, the so-called business, the small ones don't like it, the big ones don't have the skills, and since he has not yet become a noble, many things are inconvenient. He just can't get through it, even if he has this intention, it will be difficult to achieve it.

Shui Rong chuckled lightly when he heard this, and then said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and I won't force you. If there is a way to do business in the future, I will invite you to join me."

Since Jia Lian wants to make money, Shui Rong will also help him, which can be regarded as giving back to the Rongguo government, and making money, Shui Rong will not disdain the money, otherwise, he will not open a guild hall.

When Jia Lian heard this, he couldn't help but show joy on his face. Among the princes, he had nothing to say. Moreover, with the power of Beijing Prince's Palace, it would be easy to find a way to do business. But the wealth will be great! ! (End of chapter)
