Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 42 I’ll fight you

Dongfu is dirty, only the pair of stone lions at the door are clean. The West Mansion was in chaos, and the eldest son huddled in the East Crossing Courtyard.

Jia She not only lived in Dongkuaoyuan, but also opened another door. It looked like the main entrance, but it was not the main entrance.

The ancients were very particular about their home doors. It was unimaginable for a house to have two front doors.

Speaking of the main entrance, it is also called the middle entrance. The main entrance of the noble official's house is usually not open, and you usually go in and out through the side door. When there is an imperial edict, guests of high status come to the door, and the head of the family returns from an expedition, the main door will be opened, which is also called the middle door.

If it weren't for Jia Mu's presence and suppression, the two houses in Xifu would have been in trouble long ago.

So the question is, did Jia Mu deliberately indulge? Still powerless?

It's hard to talk about things in the East Mansion. Here in the West Mansion, if the old lady hangs herself with a rope, who would dare to disobey her?

Jia Lian's leisurely mood did not last long. He heard someone shouting from a distance, "I hit, I hit."

Opening his eyes and looking at the main door, Xiao An held the door and gasped for breath; "Second Master has won, and Second Class A is the first."

Jia Lian was overjoyed, but his face did not change much. He closed his eyes and lay back down, but his heart was in turmoil. It's not easy, but this first step has been taken. Regardless of the future of the Jia family, his own future has seen the light of day.

It’s not that Jia Lian has never thought about joining the army. The question is why is the Jia family suspected? Aren't they just the two Jingying Jiedu envoys?
  Although it was during the period of the Supreme Emperor, it was impossible to hold back that the two princes had so many people in the capital, and their network of connections was like a vine. To put it harshly, they controlled the entire capital. The two Jia Daishan brothers were still very sober, so they chose to let their sons take the path of civil servants. They would rather study for the imperial examination than go to the army to polish themselves. Of course, this is also because Jia She and Jia Zhen couldn't bear the hardships in the army.

Jia Lian doesn't think he can endure this hardship. Even if he can endure this hardship, he can't go this way. Really leaving, the emperor thought to himself when the time came. The direct grandsons of the two princes of the Jia family joined the army. After entering the capital camp, they responded to every call. Even if it is pushed out and held up to make a flag, it is still very troublesome for the imperial power.

The Xungui Group used to be a helper for the Supreme Emperor to secure the throne. As the Xungui Group developed and grew, it would inevitably evolve into a threat to the imperial power. For today, the Xungui Group is destined to be divided and attacked.

Under this background, if Jia Lian tried to get involved in the military power, he would really die.

Jia Lian, who squinted his eyes, listened to the laughter coming from his ears. He waited until everyone's mood stabilized a little before starting to do it. After everyone calmed down, Jia Lian said: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao An!"

In a rare act of generosity, Guixiang took out a piece of silver that she had prepared and stuffed it into it. Xiao An thanked her again and again and said, "When I come back, I will rely on the housekeeper's carriage."

Rongxi Hall!
  Knowing that Jia's mother attached great importance to Jia Lian's imperial examination, Lai Da went to take a look at the examination in person. However, he came a little late, and there were too many people to get in. When he saw Xiao An coming out of the crowd and running back, Lai Da felt happy and quickly asked his servants to squeeze in.

No, he hurried and hurried slowly. When he caught up with Xiao An, he was already at the main entrance of the East Crossing Courtyard.

To be able to stand firm in Jia's house, in addition to being an old man who was married to Jia's mother in the past, there is also the fact that Lai Dan is able to do things and knows how to do things.

What does it mean to be able to do things? One of them is very important. When there is a happy event, the owner of the family must be the first to show up. Better to be the bearer of that good news. Now it seems that it is definitely too late for Jia Lian, but it is not important. At this stage, Jia Mu is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Jia family. Serve Jia Mu well, and no one can shake the status of the housekeeper.

Lai Da hurried to the Rongxi Hall, where Jia Mu was looking at her with dismay, and finally heard Lai shouting at the top of his lungs: "We're hit!"

After getting up, Jia Lian patted his butt and said hello: "Wash up and change clothes, go see your ancestors."

After cleaning up, Jia Lian nodded with satisfaction when he looked at himself in the mirror. He was such a handsome young man.

Jia Lian was in front, Guixiang and Xiao An were behind. Others wanted to follow, but Jia Lian sent them away.

After walking a few steps out of the house, Yingchun came running up with her skirt in hand. Jia Lian stopped and waited with a smile. Yingchun who came forward was more lively than before. She bowed and said, "Congratulations, second brother! Congratulations, second brother!"

Jia Lian's heart felt warm. In this Dongkua courtyard, the relatives who sincerely wished them well would probably be the Spring Festival.

He raised his hand and touched Yingchun's forehead. The little girl looked like a cat, squinting her eyes and enjoying being fucked. Jia Lian said somewhat proudly: "A mere scholar, I can't be overly happy with this little fame."

"Yeah, second brother can definitely do it." Yingchun nodded firmly, hoping that Jia Lian would be fine.

Since Jia Lian took the initiative to visit her, Yingchun's situation of being ignored in Dongkua Hospital has been greatly improved. Even Mrs. After all, she is Jia Lian's valued sister. How dare a stepmother from a lowly background dare to make a mistake.

After accompanying Yingchun and saying a few words, Jia Lian continued to go to Rongxi Hall.

When everyone arrived, Rongxi Hall was already a "happy place". To be precise, everyone had their own thoughts. With Jia Mu taking the lead, the main theme is joyful. Jia Lian is also a scholar at the age of fourteen, and he is still ranked first in the second class, that is, fourth.

Speaking of this, Jia Lian couldn't help but secretly muttered, he was fourth in all three games, and I'm not an Arsenal fan.

When Jia Mu saw Jia Lian, she was naturally very happy and said loudly: "My dear grandson, come here quickly."

Jia Lian came forward with a very formal look. He straightened his clothes before crossing his arms and bowing: "My grandson is lucky enough to win. He will continue to work hard. He will never let down his grandmother's expectations. He will study hard and strive to reach the next level."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Jia Mu said three words "good" in succession, with only a thin slit left in her eyes when she smiled.

Are you happy? so happy! Jia's family's policy of abandoning martial arts and embracing civility was formulated by Jia Daishan's generation, and Jia's mother was one of the executors. There was Jia Jing before, but he was a bastard and Jia's mother couldn't control him. After Jia Zhu entered school, Jia's mother saw hope. It is difficult to say that the doting on Jia Baoyu in the novel is not due to the influence of Jia Zhu's untimely death.

"When Brother Zhu entered school, the family made great arrangements and hosted banquets. Now that Brother Lian has entered school, naturally we can't treat one favorably. As I wish, this banquet must be laid." As soon as Jia Mu spoke, Mrs. Wang's face changed. It's ugly, but Mother Jia doesn't care. It's not the daughter-in-law's turn to be the master of the family.

When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately took it: "My good grandmother, there is no rush in this matter."

Mother Jia's smile suddenly disappeared and she looked at Jia Lian doubtfully: "Why, Brother Lian doesn't want to?"

You see, if she doesn't follow her wishes, her good grandson won't bark anymore.

Jia Lian's face was still full of smiles: "Grandma, I'm just a scholar, and I don't have the qualifications to be an official. I really can't celebrate shamelessly. My grandson is thinking, it's better to wait until after the provincial examination next year. If he is lucky enough to win, it won't be too late to make a big deal. If he doesn't win, it won't be too late. If you do it, others won’t gossip.”

This sentence brought back the memories of Jia Mu. This was not the time when Jia Zhuyuan tried to go ashore, and the Jia family arranged it in a big way. The fourteen-year-old scholar was really the best among people. It seemed that the next year's rural examination was easy to get, but Jia Zhu failed in the rural examination. Jia's mother, who had high expectations, was very disappointed. There are a lot of people gossiping outside. Why: I wonder if there is a Jinshi in the family. After pondering for a long time, Jia Mu said: "That's right, then we won't do it. But if your good grandson goes to school, the grandmother has to express it. Think carefully about what you want, and grandma can do it. You will definitely be satisfied when you arrive.”

When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately felt happy. Is there such a good thing? But at this stage, I don’t really want anything in particular.

"Grandma, I've spent a lot of money since I started studying. Why don't you give me a little reward? Do you want your grandson to do a lotus fall first?"

Jia Lian looked like he had fallen into Qian's eyes, and made a begging gesture with his hand. Jia's mother burst out laughing when she saw this.

Mainly because of the contrast, Jia Lian, who was used to being strict and serious during this period of time, suddenly appeared like this.

The old lady smiled so hard that she didn't look down on Jia Lian at all. In the eyes of people nowadays, this behavior is called "entertaining relatives with colorful clothes", which is an act of filial piety. It is ZZ correct in this era.

"Okay, okay!" Jia Mu said "good" three times in a row, and waved her hand with great momentum: "Brother Zhu spent a thousand taels on this, so I will reward you with a thousand taels."

"Thank you, grandma!" Jia Lian quickly put the matter into action and bowed deeply.

The purchasing power of silver in the book is astonishing. Jia Lian and Bao You's second sister only had five taels of silver per month. A thousand taels of silver were spent on Jia Zhu's celebration, which shows the extravagance of Jia's family.

Naturally, the one thousand taels of silver had to be pocketed, so Jia Lian pretended to be dumbfounded and asked Jia Mu to cash it in immediately.

The happy Mother Jia immediately asked Mrs. Wang to cash it. Mrs. Wang reluctantly took out the key and gave it to Li Wan, asking her to execute it.

Jia Lian spent some time to make the old lady happy, and said a few words, "This is a hozen." Seeing that the atmosphere was up, Jia Lian left.

Even though Li Wan was pregnant, he still went to the warehouse in person, took out the silver and asked someone to carry it in a box to deliver it to Jia Lian.

Not wanting to meet Jia Lian head-on, Li Wan couldn't help but sneered: "Why, is Second Master Lian worried about his future?"

Jia Lian had no intention of competing with a woman who was destined to be a widow. He smiled and said, "It's better to be more careful about this money."

Li Wan heard this and thought: What's wrong with me? Talking nonsense to my brother-in-law.

Jia Lian said a few polite words, so that Li Wan did not have to go there in person, and returned to Dongkuoyuan with the money.

At dusk, Jia She suddenly arrived and said, "You little beast, what do you need so much silver for? Come and get it from me."

Jia Lian looked at him silently and thought to himself: Why did I forget about this old beast? I was careless.

Jia She saw that he was silent and was ready to beat and scold him. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian did not give up this time and stood calmly without any intention of hiding. He said, "My grandmother rewarded me with this silver. My father wants to take it away. Please give me some money." Ask grandma.”

He had no choice but to use Jia Mu to suppress him. Unexpectedly, Jia She didn't buy it and said: "Stop talking nonsense, at such a young age, what do you need all this money for?" Jia Lian said lightly: "Where is the dowry that mother left for me? This Do we need to calculate the accounts?"

After a woman marries, her dowry becomes private property and is inherited by her son after her death. Legally speaking, it is clear everywhere that Jia She took the property left by Jia Lian's biological mother as his own, and no one bothered him. If someone really wanted to make a fuss, Jia Lian would be accused of being unfilial, and Jia She would also be in trouble. .

"You little beast! Ask for a beating!" Jia She raised his hand and struck, but Jia Lian stood still. Jia She's slap turned halfway and landed on Jia Lian's shoulder. Jia Lian, who was already famous, was really not someone Jia She could hit whenever he wanted, and was even said to be a slap in the face. When she turned around, Mother Jia saw the palm prints on her face, it must have been a scene. Thinking of this temporarily, a slap fell on his shoulder.

Jia Lian still felt the pain, and suddenly his eyes flashed fiercely, glaring at Jia She fiercely.

The old guy probably didn't expect that Jia Lian was still in this state, so he took two steps back in fright.

Jia She was so frightened by his son that he backed away. He suddenly became angry and stepped forward to kick him. Jia Lian still stood still and said calmly: "You guys have done something and you know it in your heart. If there is another time, don't blame me for looking for him." The emperor files a complaint."

Jia She was so frightened by these words that he immediately backed away. He raised his finger and pointed at Jia Lian and said, "You little beast, what are you talking nonsense about?" After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and said angrily: "Bitch, you can't live without death."

Jia Lian was waiting for this, and shouted angrily: "You dare to call my mother a bitch? I will fight with you!"

As he spoke, he turned around and picked up the sword hanging on the wall, and pulled it out with a bang. The sword had been sharpened and was a sharp weapon that could kill people.

Seeing Jia Lian's face ferocious and his eyes red and desperate, Jia She was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. When he looked back, he saw that Guixiang had rushed towards him, holding Jia Lian's waist tightly, and shouted: "Master, leave quickly!"

The sword in Jia Lian's hand was pointed at Jia She, and he dragged Guixiang forward for several steps. Jia She was horrified when he saw this. He thought that Jia Lian was really angry, and he didn't want the money anymore. The sword had no eyes, so he opened it quickly. slip.

After Jia She left, Jia Lian struggled for a while before he stopped. Guixiang was so frightened that his head was covered with sweat, and he kept comforting him: "Second Master, my good Second Master, you can't do it, you must never do it."

Naturally, Jia Lian couldn't explain to Guixiang. He was just doing it, and if something happened, Jia She would be unlucky, and so would Jia Lian. If someone is charged with "unfilial piety," within the system, it will be considered a social death and their future will be ruined.

Seeing Jia Lian's gloomy face and not speaking, Guixiang immediately called everyone else to the yard. Guixiang, who always had a smile in front of Jia Lian, now had a sinister expression and a cold tone: "As long as a word about what just happened is spread, You must all be thrown into the dry well behind." A group of servants quickly said that they would not tell anyone about it even if they were killed.

These people do not hate cinnamon because cinnamon saves their lives.

This kind of thing was enough to silence Jia Lian and Jia She.

Jia Lian calmed down and went to Jia She's door instead. The old man didn't dare not to see him. He no longer had the capital of the past to see him when he wanted to see him and send someone to send him away when he didn't want to see him.

"From now on, no one is allowed to interfere with the people and things in my yard without my approval."

Jia She looked at him sullenly, but didn't say a word. He really didn't know what Jia Lian's mother-in-law said in her dream.

Is this the killer move that bitch told Jia Lian to protect herself? Jia She didn't dare to think too much!
