The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 32

(Thank you Su Liuyan for the peace talisman, okay?)
The marriage of the Yang family was quickly implemented. Although Yang Youzhi was reluctant, he was not an idiot after all. Seeing that Xing Zhong refused to help, he even scoffed at his assertion that he was in love with Miss Xing. Yang Youzhi understood This time, he not only offended Mr. Jing, but also offended the Xing family. The worst thing was that he lost the trust and support of Master Lan.

Under the persuasion of his grandparents, Yang Youzhi also understood that marrying Miss Jing was the best result.In the past few years, others didn't know, but Yang Youzhi knew it in his heart, because he was too keen on networking and dealing with those high-ranking officials, so he inevitably fell behind in his studies.If this time he enters Beijing and doesn't win the list, and his family doesn't have foreign aid to help him, wouldn't he be beaten back to his original form again?
When Yang Youzhi thought of the simple and almost shabby days in the past, he couldn't help clenching his fists.Anyway, the Xing family is nothing more than a small county magistrate, and when I become prosperous in the future and become a close minister of the emperor, I must ask the Xing family to take the initiative to give me Xiuyan to relieve the shame I have suffered today!
As soon as the new year was over, the Yang family went to Taicang to marry the youngest daughter of the county magistrate with drums and gongs. Not long after the marriage, Yang Youzhi even left his newly married wife and went to Beijing alone to take the exam.As soon as he left, it was like Xing Xiuyan's good intentions at the beginning, the Yang family turned upside down, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not harmonious, it was a trivial matter, Yang Youzhi's concubine Wei'er and Jing's protracted tug of war began.With the support of the old lady of the Yang family, in the end the main room of the Yang family was not like the main room, and the concubine was not like a concubine.

The Yang family suddenly became a joke in the eyes of the old neighbors on the East Street. Because of her exquisite embroidery skills, Mrs. Zhu has been coming to the Xing family every few days to teach Xiuyan female reds since a few years ago.This Mrs. Zhu is the best at speaking, and she came from a household, her knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary village women, and after a few days of hard work, she can see that Daiyu is different from vulgarity, and her words are even more elegant and vulgar, which attracts Daiyu Jade Zijuan wanted to hear it even after hearing it, but her enthusiasm for learning needlework was somewhat stronger than that of Xiuyan.

As soon as the new year is over, the river from south to north begins to heat up, and the entire Suzhou-Hangzhou area begins to be active again. Ships return from overseas every day, and the whole ship is full of spices, gems, colored glaze, and ivory. I don’t know how much Rare treasures poured into the inland of the Celestial Dynasty from under the eyes of Shibosi.The first batch of ships that Jia Lian waited for finally entered the port, and he only let go of half of his hanging heart.

At the beginning, the date of returning to Beijing was postponed on the grounds that there were thieves on the canal, but now that spring has begun, Lin Ruhai's hundred days have already passed, and Jia's family has only been urging him for a few days, so Jia Lian can't help but wait any longer.But the ship of Shibosi did not come back, how could Jia Lian dare to leave half a step?

It's all right now, as soon as his ship entered the port, the merchants who bought goods broke through the gate of Xing's house.Jia Lian estimated that the change of hands would be three or four times the bonus, and it was only in the Jiangnan area. If the goods were sold back to Beijing, Jia Lian was very happy when he thought of the money flowing into his pocket.

"What are you laughing at, Second Master?" Ping'er playfully flicked Jia Lian's eyes with a handkerchief.Seeing Ping'er's pretty appearance, Jia Lian hugged her in her arms and said with a smile, "Poor girl, I'll go to the Caijin Building when the second master leaves the house, and I'll get you some decent jewelry."

Ping'er spat: "You think I'm Miss Xing and Miss Lin, who am I? I deserve that too!" Ping'er corrected himself, "What's more important, Second Master bought some expensive things for Second Grandma. She flatters the old lady at home, but she has to control the whole family. It is the hardest thing, Second Master, don't let Second Mistress feel cold."

Jia Lian laughed and said: "You girl, other people can't wait for selfishness, but you are good, you are always thinking of your second grandma. Forget it, my private money must come from you."

When Ping'er heard Jia Lian say that he only had a little private money, he couldn't help but smile: "You are not honest, be careful that I will expose your old background in front of the second mistress! Tell me, why do those merchants come to the door every day, and you turn your hand away?" How much silver did you earn? You are still crying poor!"

Jia Lian panicked, quickly let go of Ping'er's hand, stood up from the chair and bowed deeply, and said with a smile, "Please, Miss Ping'er, keep it a secret for me!"

Ping'er said angrily: "Hmph, if I was that dishonest, the second mistress would have committed suicide long ago, how can the second master just sit here and make a fortune first? However, Ping'er has a thoughtful word to say to the second master. "

Seeing Ping'er's solemn expression, Jia Lian hurriedly pushed Ping'er to the seat he had just sat in, and he picked a chair not far away: "Say it."

"Second Mistress is interested in Yin Zi, Second Master doesn't know, if Second Master lied that he was injured this time, Grandma didn't think much about it in a panic, otherwise Second Master's little trick would have been hidden from her! I'm afraid I just came out of Beijing, and Second Grandma figured it out. Otherwise, why these days the Jia family always sends letters to ask questions, but Second Grandma doesn’t send me a message? This doesn’t seem like her style!”

Jia Lian was even more flustered. It was not his original intention to marry Wang Xifeng. Jia Lian originally hoped to find a girl who had nothing to do with the four major families as his wife, so as not to be restrained by the second wife in the future. Who knew that the old lady was so partial to the second wife. Regardless of Jia Lian's wishes, he decided to appoint the second wife's niece for him.

Jia Lian's current small fortune is not easy to accumulate, if Wang Xifeng finds out, what's the difference between this and the second wife's knowing?The second wife is a vampire, and she insists on draining every penny she has.

Seeing the rapid changes in Jia Lian's expression, Ping'er couldn't bear it, and hurriedly comforted him: "Second Master, don't worry too much, Second Mistress is still your daughter-in-law after all, your money is her money, her money"

Before Ping'er could finish speaking, Jia Lian had already snorted coldly, "Her money must be Wang's money."

Ping'er was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know what to say to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian sneered and said: "You don't have to hide it from me. I don't know which expenditure in the family, which expenditure? How could it be possible to spend 5 taels of silver in a year? This doesn't include human relationships. It’s a Maitreya Buddha with a big belly, and you don’t need it even if you work hard to eat and wear! It means that we masters don’t care about you, otherwise, if you get serious, your second grandma and second wife can’t escape alone!”

Ping'er was shocked, she came from Wang's family after all, Wang Xifeng trusted her, kept many things secret, and even took the money with her own hands, now that Jia Lian pointed it out mercilessly, Ping'er was ashamed and embarrassed. Shame, I wish I could run away immediately.

Seeing this, Jia Lian lowered her cold tone, and said softly, "You should also be careful. Now that you are a woman of the Jia family, don't you go to the Lord, and instead sacrifice your life for the Wang family? Of course I feel uncomfortable."

"Second Master." Ping'er looked at Jia Lian timidly and pitifully, wanting to speak.

Jia Lian listened, and said with a smile: "You are a smart girl, you should know what I care about most. Now that the weather is getting warmer, we have to go back to Beijing. I only hope that if you have something to say, say it. Some things are better kept in the bottom of my heart.”

Ping'er nodded, and said in a low voice: "I understand what Second Master means. Later, I called the women and servants who came with me, and told them to keep their mouths shut."

Jialian and Lian were talking when Zhao'er knocked on the door suddenly: "Second Master, Second Master Bao in the capital sent someone to deliver something to Miss Lin, and said he was waiting outside the gate. Miss Lin asked Miss Ping'er to go and see her. "
