Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 24 Dragon Boat Festival
  It was said that the leg was broken, but in fact it was not the case. If the leg was really broken, it would not have been done by the servants, but by Wang Zisheng himself.

However, Wang Ren also suffered a lot. His legs were hit several times with a stick, both light and heavy, and he screamed in pain.

Wang Zisheng's wife, Wei Shi, came over after hearing the news and lay on Wang Ren crying: "You can beat me if you want, but beat me to death first."

This time Wang Ziteng didn't even bother to do anything. His sister-in-law was going to die in front of her, so how could he attack her? He turned around and left angrily. Seeing this, Wang Zisheng had no choice but to give up and follow Wang Ziteng back. Only then did Wang Ziteng tell the truth in the study.

"It's best not to get involved in royal affairs. The emperor said he wanted the Zen position, but in fact, after he fell ill at that time, he was worried about his brother's resentment, so he chose Jinshang, who has always been calm and dignified. It's hard to explain why Jinshang came to the throne. He was a good grandson at the time, and now he is a good grandson. Prince An was brought up by the Supreme Emperor. I have been on the throne for five years now, and I am very cautious. Any slight disturbance will be magnified. Your Majesty has been slow to establish a prince, and the third prince is so active, I am afraid that he will violate taboos."

Wang Zisheng has also been an official for many years, so he naturally understands what Wang Ziteng means. On the surface, Wang Jiaming follows His Majesty closely. Now that Wang Ziteng is being re-employed, it is at the juncture of his career. How can he have some off-site factors to affect him? ?
  Finally ushered in a period of peaceful life, Jia Lian's life has not changed much for the time being.

The Rongxi Hall is just across the wall, and we visit it once a day, but it is difficult to feel a sense of belonging.

Jia Lian, who has entered a state of concentration on reading, has a weak sense of presence. After reading with peace of mind every day, he draws little books in his spare time and asks Xiao An to deliver them on time. Wang Xifeng, who had waited for a month for the second volume, asked Ping An to reward Xiao An with fifty articles.

Because of Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng's literacy speed has improved rapidly. Ping'er's reply is no longer a verbal message, but a handwritten letter by Wang Xifeng himself. There are not many words, more than fifty, and the writing is not good-looking. You can see that it is all It's emotion, not technique.

[Brother Lian, I received the picture book. I like it very much. I can already read 500 words and learn to count. The female teacher said that if I study for two more years, housekeeping will not be a problem in the future. The Dragon Boat Festival will be in one month. I hope to see you again. 】

Jia Lian could feel Wang Xifeng's desire to marry her immediately between the lines. The image of Wang Xifeng biting the pen came to mind. She couldn't think too much about it, it was too...

Ping'er stood aside and watched quietly as Jia Lian read the letter. It was such a short letter that Jia Lian read the incense stick before putting it away. Ping'er thought to himself: The second master loves the young lady in his heart. According to reliable information, there is no maid in the second master's room to accompany him in bed.

There are no secrets in the Jia Mansion to Wang Xifeng. The only maid beside Jia Lian is Guixiang. According to the experienced mother-in-law, Guixiang is still a virgin. From the perspective of Wang Xifeng and Heping'er, Wang Ren, who was only thirteen years old, took in two maids, and Jia Lian, who was only fourteen years old, had never tasted a woman. It was definitely not a human problem, but self-discipline and commitment.

"Tell Feng'er that the handwriting is good and the letter is also very good." Jia Lian was quite proud of himself and influenced Wang Xifeng bit by bit. If she listened to him in everything, her destiny would be changed.

Ping'er got the message and was about to say goodbye. Then he took out a sachet, his face turned red, and he mustered up the courage to say: "I did this..." Jia Lian looked happy when he saw it, grabbed it and said: "Yes, Ping'er looks like a good and ingenious girl at first glance, and the sachets she makes must be excellent."

Ping'er lowered his head, his chin resting on his chest, and his voice sounded like a mosquito chirping: "I'm going back."

He turned around, almost staggered, and ran away. Jia Lian was behind: "Slow down, it will be a long time in the future."

This is a reassurance for Ping'er. The fate of the servants is in the hands of the master. This is an era of human slavery. As a modern person, Jia Lian has become accustomed to it from the initial discomfort. Presumably, the senior time traveler at the time also experienced such a process, but I didn't know how fast it was.

Qingming Festival in April and Dragon Boat Festival in May, time flies by, and it is only one month before the county examination begins.

The county examination is held in June, which is the season of scorching heat. It is said that the county examination was originally held in autumn, but during the reign of the Supreme Emperor, it was changed to summer, the government examination was held in autumn, and the hospital examination was held in winter. In this way, scholars who have experienced severe cold and heat will be able to Hetian will give great responsibilities to the people of Sri Lanka. If you want to be an official, you must first suffer. That is to say, the Gongyuan was adjusted during the Taizu period, otherwise you will suffer even more.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the Jia Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and organized a lot of things. The academy was on holiday, and Jia Lian rarely had time to rest.

Jia Zheng sent someone to call Jia Lian to talk. When he saw Jia Zhu, he came forward to greet him. Jia Zheng asked, "The county examination is coming soon. How sure are you, brother Lian?" After hearing the question, Jia Lian thought about it for a moment. Seeing Jia Zhu pricking up her ears and listening, she secretly wanted to laugh. There is no doubt that Jia Zhu and Jia Lian are not close. When they meet, they usually say a few polite words but never talk in depth, let alone discuss knowledge together. This phenomenon is obviously abnormal in Rongguo Mansion where men are not popular in Jia Mansion.

"Replying to my uncle, I am not sure of the outcome this time. I just want to gain some experience and prepare for the future." Jia Lian naturally did not tell the truth, so he answered very modestly. Jia Zhu couldn't help but said: "I heard from my classmates in the Imperial College that you were very popular with the original Professor Zhang at Qingyun Academy, and now the left minister of the household department admires you. The master is also very attentive to you. Why are you so humble?"

Well, Jia Lian was surprised, very surprised. This fight means, let me go wild? First of all, you are bragging. When I fail the exam, how about you taunt me and hit me with insults? Is this the beginning of the fight for the inheritance of Rongguo Mansion? By the way, Jia Zheng came here specially to do this, is he going to cooperate with the performance again?
  "I haven't studied seriously for a long time, so I'm really not sure." Jia Lian became more and more reluctant to tell the truth, and his tone was perfunctory.

When Jia Zheng saw this, he smiled and said: "Brother Lian is a steady man. The two of you are the seeds of study. We will be more affectionate in the future."

Jia Lian smiled hypocritically and responded seriously: "This is natural!"

After Jia Lian said goodbye and left, and the father and son were left alone, Jia Zheng asked with a sullen face: "Little beast, how should you treat your brother?"

Jia Zhu quickly knelt down and said, "Father, what my son said is all the truth. It's Jia Lian who is dishonest."

Jia Zheng wanted to curse a few words, but felt that it was unnecessary. After all, Jia Zhu was the hope of him and Mrs. Wang.

"Okay, you can go down too." Jia Zheng originally wanted to say, don't listen to your mother talking about nonsense in the future, but he didn't say anything after thinking about it.

After Jia Zhu retreated, Li Wan was waiting outside. Seeing that his face was not good, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Did father-in-law talk about you?"

Jia Zhu and Li Wan had a good relationship, and when they were about to tell the truth, Li Wan suddenly turned his head and vomited next to him.

The maid saw him at the side and hurried over to help him. Jia Zhu was at the side and said anxiously: "Go and ask the doctor quickly."

At the evening banquet, Jia Lian came late and saw Jia's mother looking happy. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were also happy, but Jia Zhu and Li Wan were not seen. Jia Lian stepped forward to greet him and said: "Grandma looks very good, just like the Guanyin in the painting. Is this a happy event? I am happy to say it." After hearing this, Jia Lian's expression became a little kinder. Jia Lian is more pleasing to the eye.

"You hozen, your mouth is getting sweeter. Your sister-in-law is happy, and your eldest brother Zhu is getting a queen. Yuanchun in the palace asked someone to take care of the news, and now he is very useful in front of the queen. It can be said to be a double happiness." Jia Mu explained happily.

Jia Lian listened and thought, in the future, Jia Zhu will be gone, and you people will not care much about Li Wan and Jia Lan. You will only focus on Baoyu. I'm afraid you've been saying weird things about Li Wankefu and Jialanke's father in private, right?
  Of course, Jia Lian couldn't express what he was thinking in his heart. He smiled happily and said, "Grandma is wrong. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. It should be the third time for happiness." Jia's mother beamed with joy at the good words and praised her repeatedly. Jia Lian congratulated Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang again, and they thanked them happily. Jia Zhu arrived before the banquet started, and Jia Lian congratulated her again. Jia Zhu nodded slightly reservedly and thanked Jia Lian, as if he was a brother, friend or brother. In fact, Jia Zhu is in a good mood now and feels that Jia Lian is not as hateful as before.

The last person to arrive was the You clan. Jia Zhen, the clan leader, and Jia She, the heir to the title of Rongguo Mansion, were not present.

This situation is quite interesting. When he learned that Li Wan was happy, You also congratulated him and then explained: "My uncle has made an appointment with the head of the family to go out to a banquet at the Prince's Palace in Beijing, and asked me to pass on a message."

Finding that the faces of Jia Zheng, his wife and Jia Zhu were unnatural, Jia Lian secretly thought, interesting, interesting. Immediately he read again: This stupid Jia She went out to a banquet and didn't even say hello. No wonder he didn't see anyone for a whole day.

"I know about this, there's no need to wait for them." Jia Mu smiled and said haha, and the matter was over.

Men and women were at different tables, and Jia Mu was accompanied by a bunch of women. Jia Zheng was the only one with Jia Zhu and Jia Lian. Jia Baoyu was still young and was taken by Jia Mu. When Jia Lian saw this father-son situation, he felt very unhappy as he was a nephew and a younger brother, so he had to act humble. But there is nothing to be done. I can only pick up the wine glass and go to toast Jia Mu first.

I thought that everything would be fine if I paid respect to Jia Mu, but I never thought that Aunt Zhao was acting like a monster. She shouted from the side: "Brother Lian has paid tribute to mother-in-law, but can't he see aunt and sister-in-law Zhen?" Mrs. Wang had a look on her face after hearing this. Looking at Jia Lian with a smile, Youshi twisted her body unnaturally and turned to face Jia Lian. It was really difficult to get involved, so she had to do this to avoid being accidentally injured.

Jia Lian didn't care, the main thing was that Aunt Zhao was good-looking, so it was okay to tolerate her for a while.

Jia Lian smiled without getting angry. He took a jug and poured it for himself. He said to Mrs. Wang and Youshi: "I am young and cannot drink well. It is a coincidence that I will give this glass of wine to Auntie and Sister-in-law Zhen. I'll do it, you two." random."

After a combination of elimination and beating, Jia Lian defused Aunt Zhao's evil tricks with a glass of wine. She was at a disadvantage because she was young.

Mrs. Wang pretended to sit still, with the wine glass sticking to her lips. Youshi stood up in a dignified manner, took the glass and drank it.

Aunt Zhao still refused to give up, with a proud look on her face. Just when she was about to start chasing her, Jia Lian gave her a vicious look. When Aunt Zhao met her, her heart went cold, her hand shook, and she knocked over the wine glass in front of her. After a moment of chaos, Jia Lian calmly retreated with a smile.

Returning to our table, we had to continue toasting to Jia Zheng. Thinking that Jia She was happy outside, Jia Lian cursed him dozens of times in his heart, why didn't the old man die soon?

Over here in the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, Jia She was receiving a toast from others when he suddenly shuddered.

When Jia Zheng arrived, he accepted the toast seriously and drank it all without raising any fish. Jia Zhu sat aside, smiling and waiting for Jia Lian to propose a toast. Jia Lian could only pour another glass and continue to pay tribute to Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu also sat still and accepted the toast. She did her job very thoroughly and did not take advantage.

Before Jia Lian could take a bite of the food and drink some wine, Jia Zhu stood up, held the cup and said, "I also respect Brother Lian."

Well, looking at his hypocritical smile and the malicious look in his eyes, Jia Lian knew that one of them would fall today.

Drinking together? Do you know what an alcohol test warrior is? Do you know what time travel is?

After traveling through time, Jia Lian tested the plug-in. One is that he has a good brain and a high IQ, and the other is that he has a good body and is durable.

You weakling actually dares to provoke me. Today I will let you know why the flowers are so red.

"Thank you!" Jia Lian picked up the wine glass and touched it deliberately. After the two of them finished drinking, Jia Lian picked up the wine pot and said, "As the saying goes, three glasses are served after one touch. How about you and I, brothers? Let's leave one more."

When Jia Zhu saw that Jia Lian's face was already red, her already good-looking face was even more red at this moment, making people jealous and good-looking. Jia Zhu, who felt that Jia Lian was dying, simply picked up the wine glass and fought.

Jia Lian just pulled Jia Zhu and talked about brotherhood. The two drank one glass after another, and played seven or eight rounds in a row.

Seeing Jia Lian blushing terribly, but still not falling down, it was Jia Zhu's health that was not good. She started to blush, then turned white, and finally turned blue. Jia Zhu drank so fast that she felt a little dizzy. She stood up unsteadily and saw Jia Lian pouring wine from the jug again. She wanted to stop him, but because he didn't want to lose his footing, he fell to the side. Thanks to Jia Lian's hand, he helped her in time. , so he didn’t stumble.

Even if he didn't fall, Jia Zhu couldn't control it anymore. She started vomiting wildly.

In the middle of the night, Jia Zhu woke up. Li Wan had already gone to sleep, and beside him was the maid from the first floor who was keeping watch. When she saw him waking up, she came over with prepared tea. After drinking a pot of warm tea, his energy recovered a little. The first thing Jia Zhu said, leaning on the bedside, was to ask: "How is Jia Lian?" The last scene in his mind at this moment was that Jia Lian was also shaking. , almost in place.

The maid looked at Jia Zhu's face and whispered: "Second Master Lian also drank a lot. After he got drunk, he also had someone help him back."

Jia Zhu's face looked better. She was most afraid that the maid would say that Jia Lian was fine and continued to eat and drink.

"The second master was very angry at the time and said some harsh words." The maid carefully reminded that she had to bear the burden of Li Wan's pregnancy. As a person around me, I naturally favor Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu was still a little afraid of Jia Zheng. When she heard this, she asked, "What did father say?"

"The second master said that my mistress is a stupid woman, that I have lost the love of brother and brother, and that Aunt Zhao is the main fault."

Well, Jia Zheng actually saw it very clearly, but he didn't say it at the time. When the matter was over, he would jump out and give advice. By the way, let me clarify for Mrs. Wang, they are really a loving couple.
