The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 44

(Xiaohe didn’t make the second update yesterday, and overestimated my own strength, so this one is very fat! Well, I have a fight with the little turtle, try to add more updates today, "Red Mansions" New Year’s Day No. [-] Please support Xiaohe a lot!)
The big restaurants in the capital are different. When the food is delivered to Fengwei Hutong, it is still warm. Xing Zhong rarely drinks the wine bought from outside. Since his family Xiuyan figured out how to use fruit to make wine, especially wine , Xing Zhong just had a small cup every day. Who didn't say that their family was young when they were in Suzhou?

Jia Lian also liked this, and the two used up a jar of Huiquan wine and half of the jar of wine, and Xing Zhong simply gave Jia Lian the remaining half of the jar.Before leaving, Jia Lian took out the land deed and bank notes.Xing Zhong and Lu Shi couldn't figure it out, what happened to the money?
Jia Lian smiled drunkenly and said, "My nephew has already settled the house deed properly, and nothing can go wrong. It's just that my nephew couldn't accept the 1 taels of silver that my uncle entrusted. Don't get angry, uncle. I heard my nephew slowly say that with Uncle Jia Lian De Meng’s care and guidance these years, I have lived a somewhat human appearance, not as muddled as before. My nephew has long wanted to honor his uncle and aunt, but he has never known what to do Fortunately, I have this opportunity now, this house is for my nephew to honor your elders."

How can Xing Zhong want it!The husband and wife wanted to stuff the money back no matter what they said, but Jia Lian ran away in a flash, no matter how willing he was.

Looking at the banknote in his hand, Mrs. Lu suddenly laughed and said, "Jia Lian is quite interesting. Anyway, you wrote a letter to the old ship king, asking him to help Jia Lian's business, rather we Making less money this time will make Jia Lian's business flourish."

Xing Zhong smiled: "I need to write a letter, but you are the best at writing. Why is Mr. Chuanwang trying to sell my face? He is clearly dragging our family for your sake. The name of Mrs. Xing's family is comparable to mine. The county magistrate of Wu County is very helpful."

Lu's business is getting bigger and bigger, the key is that his daughter Xiuyan is there to advise and advise.In the beginning, the Lu family just wanted to live a better life, and then they wanted to save a lot of private money for their daughter, but the Xing family seemed to have suddenly turned their fortunes, and they met many nobles along the way. He earned such a huge family business in a short while.

After thinking about it, Lu nodded and said, "That's fine, but you still need to mention Jia Lian in everything, so as not to hurt the child after something happened in Rongning and Ningfu. I heard from Xiuyan that the disaster of Jia's family was caused by a few fans." Brother Lian was beaten up by their elders because of this, hey, how can there be such a shameless father. He doesn't want to accumulate blessings for future generations, and he only cares about playing evil, and he is not afraid of losing his life!"

After these years, the Xing family couple can also see that Jia Lian's nature is not bad.

Let's say that Jia Lian thought he had done something important and went home excitedly. Now it was Shen Shi, and Wang Xifeng didn't rest, so she sat in the main room and waited for her husband to come back.In the morning, she was scolded bloody by the second wife, and then she had a meal at the eldest wife's place. She could be as angry as she wanted, and held back her energy until Jia Lian came back to settle the score.

Ping'er heard the commotion in the yard, hurriedly said in a low voice: "Grandma, it's probably because the second master is back."

Wang Xifeng sneered coldly, could she not hear, the little tune was annoying, and Jia Lian had no idea what was going on, he had never been so happy before!

"Grandma, the second master is happy right now, so don't say those words." Ping'er persuaded, but how could Wang Xifeng care about it? Stand there with white eyebrows and red eyes and ask the two wives to lecture, to see if you have any face!"

Wang Xifeng left Ping'er and was about to settle accounts with Jia Lian. As soon as he reached the door, he was overwhelmed with the smell of alcohol. "Knowing that I have worked hard, my lady specially came to pick me up?"

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes secretly, and just about to say a few harsh words, she saw Jia Lian holding a wine bottle in her arms like a baby, and she was about to reach out to find out what happened.

Jia Lian dodged it with a smile, and walked in with leisurely steps: "Second Grandma, don't worry, Ping'er, go get a crystal cup, Second Master, I'll pour it for your grandma myself."

Wang Xifeng nodded helplessly at Ping'er, not too long ago, Ping'er found two translucent and translucent western crystal glasses, and placed them in front of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, one on the left and the other on the right.The husband and wife sat opposite each other in front of a plum blossom table. Jia Lian carefully poured the grape juice from the jar into the crystal cup, and looked at Wang Xifeng expectantly.

Holding the wine glass, Sister Feng smiled and said, "I think it's something rare and worthy of our second master's treasure. It turns out that it's just grapes, not as good as the fragrance my wife gave me!" Sister Feng turned her head away Instruct Ping'er: "Bring the sweet-scented osmanthus dew that we only got and give it to the second master to taste."

Jia Lian sneered and said: "The things of your Wang family are naturally precious, but I have been used to being beaten since I was a child. I can't drink any fragrant dew, so I only deserve this!"

Jia Lian gulped down the wine in front of him, not a single drop remained.Only then did Wang Xifeng realize her husband's anger, and hurriedly laughed and said, "What about the Wang family and the Li family? All my belongings belong to the second master!" Suddenly staring round, she looked at Jia Lian puzzled: "This is the grape juice we used to drink? Why does it taste different?"

Jia Lian smiled proudly: "Naturally it's different, this is brewed by the sisters of the Xing family themselves, using the best ingredients."

Wang Xifeng's heart was moved, and she asked tentatively, "Sister from the Xing family? Is it the eldest wife's niece?" Seeing Jia Lian nodding her head, Sister Feng finally decided that her husband went to the Xing family during the day. She hurriedly laughed and said: " Aunt Li's family also said that she met you on the road, so you went to Uncle Xing's place, hey, Uncle's family came to the capital for the first time, why didn't you tell me, so that I could go over and help."

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng intently, and said suspiciously, "You!"

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "Look at you, what do you think of me? Isn't your uncle my uncle? Fortunately, I asked you what you were doing this morning, but you lied and refused to tell me. If you knew, I must go together to pay my respects to my uncle and wife."

Jia Lian smiled gratifiedly: "Second Grandma is so smart, don't you know why?" Jia Lian waved his hand and asked Ping'er to go out to guard the door. When only the husband and wife were left in the room, Jia Lian said solemnly: "Is the second wife angry today? Not only the second wife, I'm afraid even the old lady is also angry!"

Seeing that Jia Lian had expected all this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help being wronged and said, "You villain, you know that my family will embarrass me, but you still insist on doing this. Don't tell me I'm no better than your uncle's family in your heart!"

Wang Xifeng cried and told Jia Lian all the harsh words during the day. Jia Lian hugged Sister Feng full of heartache, and persuaded in a low voice: "It's mine, isn't it, I wronged Second Grandma. From now on, I don't care about anything. I don't want to hide it from you, our husband and wife will live a good life with sister Qiao."

Wang Xifeng knew that half of the goal had been achieved, and imitated Ping'er's gentleness and caution, holding Jia Lian firmly in her hands.But Jia Lian said, "I'll show you something."

He led Wang Xifeng out of the courtyard, and went directly to the study in the outer courtyard. The two passages were locked, and when he heard someone knocking on the door, the women who were watching the night were still cursing and didn't plan to open the door. Miss, she was so frightened that half of her soul was lost, and when she saw that it was Second Mistress, the murderous god, she was even more dead.

Wang Xifeng ignored these and let Jia Lian lead her away.

Jia Lian's outer study was placed next to the Grand Master's courtyard. It was used to entertain some male guests on weekdays, and a few books were placed just for appearance.Wang Xifeng never came here, firstly it was not good to bump into strange men, and secondly there were all handsome servants here, Wang Xifeng was not worried about big troubles.

The people in the study outside probably didn't expect Jia Lian to come at this time, they hurried to make tea for supper, Jia Lian threw them all out.He himself was pushing the wooden shelf of Duobao Pavilion behind the desk, and Wang Xifeng watched helplessly as a pillow-sized hole emerged from the back of Duobao Pavilion.

"Look what this is!"

Jia Lian proudly opened the wooden box to Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng stammered, "Second Master, where did you get all this money?" Wang Xifeng was already in a cold sweat. If he made a small move in front of him, could it be that the second master coveted Miss Lin's family property?If the elder finds out, the couple will never end well.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Of course I earned it in the past few years." There were dozens of bank notes neatly placed in it, all of which were in large amounts of 1000 taels.

"You always complain that I and the Xing family are too close. How can you know how good uncle and aunt are? Hey." Jia Lian told Sister Feng how the Xing family helped him make a fortune and how to succeed. Sister Feng felt like a five-flavored bottle , I don’t know what to say.She was happy that her husband had his own career, but also angry that Jia Lian kept such a big deal from herself.

"I can't give you the money yet." Jia Lian said again, "It's not that I don't trust you, but that you are not safe in handling things."

Wang Xifeng said angrily: "Why am I not secure? Even the old lady and wife say I am good, but the second master hates me!"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Look at you, come here when you are in a hurry, can't you listen to me? Let me ask you, how much dowry money have you paid for the housekeeper all these years since you married into Jia's house?"

Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Naturally, there are countless favors. I am dedicated to this family, how many favors I have given in openly and secretly! Let alone say that my wife wants to flatter and attack others, saying that I took two dollars out of her monthly silver. You don’t have to leave the public house for two gifts, but how dare I really do it? It’s just to save yourself some money, so is it true that you’re really going to ask the second wife for those two strings of money?”

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian didn't appreciate it at all. Instead, he snapped the lid of the banknote box and said displeasedly, "Second Wife! Hmph, this is what you asked for."

"Second Lord, let me be fair with my conscience, who am I for, not you! Don't please the second wife, how can you inherit the title in the future? Our family is not hereditary, and the title will be taken back from the Elder Master. Now I just ask the second wife to say a few more good words in front of the empress, and it is unknown if the emperor will ask you to marry me for another two generations when the emperor is happy."
