The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Only then did Jia Lian say solemnly: "Mother, there is no need to think too much about the family background for the marriage of the Jia family's children. After all, as long as the two of them live well together, it will be done."

Yuanchun said: "You don't care, let alone a small family, which aristocratic family is not a good match, how can a good marriage be as casual as you said, and two families can join together, learn from each other's strengths and make up for their shortcomings, share prosperity, wealth, and wealth. Don't be sloppy."

Jia Lian knew that his ideas were not suitable for the time, so he didn't insist, and smiled: "These three families are all old acquaintances, Han Tong is most valued by the father of the eldest sister-in-law, and he has a family background. I guess his daughter is similar to the eldest sister-in-law. It's better to leave these three paintings to Baoyu to choose, after all, he needs to look at them well."

Yuan Chun nodded, "That's natural. You take the painting back and you're ready to propose marriage."

Jia Lian wrote it down and just left the palace. He returned to the Rong Mansion and told the old lady about the mother's will. After everyone saw it, they hurriedly ordered the painting to be sent to Baoyu's room. Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Since it was the mother's choice. , and they are all officials and eunuchs, so they must be good.”

Aunt Xue praised: "It's even rarer to have good looks and temperament. I think Baoyu will be distracted this time, and he can't make up his mind."

Sister Feng jokingly said, "It's better to follow his brother and marry him back to be his equal wife!"

Several people laughed, and the old lady still counted. "Quickly tear your mouth, thinking that a flat wife is such a good one, I don't know what Brother Lian will marry in the future, and I will go to the ring with you!"

Sister Feng sighed: "At that time, I will be with the old lady, regardless of his three wives, out of sight and out of mind."

The old lady smiled and said, "I will close my eyes and be quiet at that time. I don't care about your business."

Jia Lian came out of the room, Yuanyang came over, "Second Master"

Jia Lian turned around and smiled: "Sister Yuanyang, are you thinking of me again?"

He also glanced at her hand. The mandarin ducks are a little awkward today, and their face is not natural, it seems to be red. "Second master, this slave has a few words to say to the second master, I don't know if the second master has... Kung Fu listen. "

Jia Lian cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Sister Yuanyang has a life, so how can I not have time, so I have a lot of time."

Yuanyang nodded and said in a low voice, "Second Master, please come with the servants."

So Jia Lian followed her curiously, went out from the back porch of the old lady's yard, and stopped at the edge of the porch. This place is far away from people, and it is convenient to talk. This makes Jia Lian can't help but think about it. Little excited. Yuanyang looked left and right, and there was no one around, so he lowered his head and twisted the corner of his clothes, wanting to talk, and was very embarrassed. Jia Lian smiled: "Sister Yuanyang, if you have something to say, just say it, if there is any problem , and just tell me, I will help you."

He took two steps forward, but Yuanyang took two steps back, "Second Master, don't come forward."

The little face blushed. It made Jia Lian also very embarrassed, as if he had thought wrong and only heard Yuanyang say: "Yesterday, the wife said a lot to the slave, and asked who the slave's family is, if there is anything else, just say something, and then come out to reward I bought many things, including clothes and skirts, as well as gold and silver clasps and bracelets."

Jia Lian said in surprise: "This is a good thing! You are the most powerful in front of the old lady. All these years, with you, the old lady is at ease, and she can't be without you all the time. It is also due to the wife to care about you."

The mandarin ducks became more and more red, and the girl who was usually generous and hearty became: Qiqiai Ai, she could only twist the veil and hold it tightly. Jia Lian laughed: "If you have any doubts about the mandarin ducks, you can tell me, Even if it is a big thing, I will definitely give it to you. If you feel bad and tell me, you can tell Ping'er, Jin Chuan'er and the others, and ask them to tell me, the same is true."

"No, don't tell them."

Yuanyang said softly, "If they knew, those little hooves would definitely make fun of me."

Jia Lian was even more curious, "Then I will ask, what is it that embarrassed you?"

Yuanyang tried to speak several times, but felt shy to say it, and walked to the side of the maple tree. Jia Lian was also speculating, remembering that Mrs. Wang had given Yuanyang a lot of property at this time, and suddenly thought of a possibility. He smiled and walked over, "If I'm not mistaken, Auntie has a crush on you and wants you to be Baoyu's auntie"

Yuanyang glanced at him and nodded with a blushing face, "Although Mrs. didn't say it explicitly, she meant it inside and out, and said that Second Master Bao lacked a big girl who knew both cold and heat, and neither the old lady nor her. rest assured."

Jia Lian looked at the mandarin ducks carefully, and saw that she was wearing a half-new lotus-colored jacket, a green satin-pinch vest, and a water-green skirt underneath. There are a few freckles on his cheeks. Fortunately, his father Jia She has been paralyzed for several years now, otherwise he would have forced him to marry the mandarin duck. But he could not have imagined that this time it was Mrs. Wang. Is there a more suitable aunt than Yuanyang, the big girl who is in charge of the old lady's self-care keys? If you want her, it is like asking for the old lady's self-care property, which is a huge fortune! Thinking about it this way, Mrs. Wang did this It's normal. One more thing. Originally, Jia She wanted to marry Yuanyang as his aunt, but he also coveted something from the old lady, so Jia Lian smiled and said, "Then I should congratulate Sister Yuanyang! It's just that we should stay away in the future. , the provincial people gossip."

"Second Master, this servant tells you what's in your heart, and you make fun of others!"

There were still tears in his eyes. Jia Lian asked, "Don't you want to?"

Chapter [*] is already a nail in the coffin. The mandarin ducks did not speak, but shook their heads. At this moment, Ping'er came up from behind and jokingly said, "Oh, so why is it that the new aunt is here, why are we talking with our second master?"

Yuanyang spat: "The dog can't spit out ivory, I'm annoying, you're still making fun of me! Bah!"

As soon as she spoke, she was about to leave. Ping'er hurriedly pulled her, "It was my fault, it would be boring to leave."

Jia Lian asked: "Why are you here?"

Ping'er smiled and said, "Second grandma asked the slaves and maids to send paintings to Second Master Bao, and when I came back, I saw you guys staying so far away, so I can't turn around and take a look."

Jia Lian frowned, "What do you think?"

When he raised his hand, he was about to twist her face. Ping'er didn't hide, so Jia Lian twisted it lightly, "I don't know what a happy event you'll have if you don't come!"

Yuanyang saw that they were making such a fuss in front of her, and turned around in embarrassment, "None of you are good people, I'm leaving, let you make trouble!"

"Don't go!"

Ping'er held her back with a smile, "Seriously, since the wife has a crush on you, she must have made up her mind. The old lady loves Second Master Bao so much, how can you disagree?"

Jia Lian also said: "Sister Yuanyang, I'm afraid even the old lady knows about it now and wants to leave you to Baoyu. Tell us what you think, let us know what you think, and you can rest assured. ."

Yuanyang didn't care about being shy at this time, and said more aggressively: "What's the idea! I'll be finished if I don't go."

Ping'er hurriedly persuaded: "You can't stand it hard. What the old lady has decided is also about the second master Bao, and it will not be changed easily. Even the second grandma can't refute it."

Yuanyang said: "That's why I'm worried. If the old lady must let me go, I'll cut my hair to be my sister-in-law, and I won't marry a man for the rest of my life, how can I be happy and clean!"

Jia Lian just laughed. Yuanyang said angrily: "Second Master, when people are in trouble, they take you as serious people and make fun of me."

Jia Lian hurriedly comforted: "I said that you are too stubborn. Why don't you want to be Baoyu's concubine? Baoyu is also a caring person and will definitely not lose you."

Yuanyang said: "Others only talk about the stars holding the moon, so I won't join in that... hilarious. I live my own life, if it's going to be a lifetime, it's better to die."

Jia Lian glanced at Yuanyang Gao, "You don't like Baoyu"

Then nodded, "This kind of thing really can't be forced."

Ping'er said: "Since you don't want to, I will teach you a way, and it will be over without any trouble."

Yuanyang said: "What is the method, let me hear it."

Ping'er smiled and said, "You just tell the old lady and say that you have already given it to Second Master Lian, so they won't want it anymore."

Yuanyang was angry, embarrassed, and anxious, and spat: "What are you talking about! The second master is here, the previous attack is not over yet, and you lead me again, you will bring disaster to him!"

"What else is there with me"

Xiren also came from behind, and asked with a smile. Yuanyang had a bad face, "I said that you are good-looking, and Second Master He Bao is rushing to ask you to be a concubine in the future!"

Immediately, his face was shy, "I only ask one question, but you: take the words."

Yuanyang slipped and said, "Tell you to settle it with me, but you will make fun of me."

Ping'er told her about the original tail. Xiren smiled and said: "Ping'er said the best way, why not?"

Jia Lian listened, since Yuanyang doesn't want to give in to Baoyu, it looks like he won't give in to himself. "Sister Yuanyang, what do you want me to do to tell the old lady that you don't want to marry Baoyu?"

Ping'er said: "If Erye, you tell the old lady, then you'll be convinced that you want a mandarin duck. It's the same as attacking someone."

Jia Lianwei: "Then what can I do to make the old lady give up and say that Baoyu is going to marry, maybe it's a matter of one thing."

Xiren said: "It's better to ask the second grandmother to tell the old lady"

Ping'er said: "Second grandmother is not easy to say, this is the same as second grandfather."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "If you don't want to marry Baoyu or me, there are only two ways."

"Which Two Ways"

Yuanyang asked. Jia Lian said: "First, I will help you redeem yourself and go back. As long as you leave our house, the wife will not be able to please you."

Yuanyang hesitantly said: "But the slaves are reluctant to bear the old lady and have not taken care of them."

Jia Lian stretched out another finger: "Second, I just explained it to the old lady directly. The old lady is reasonable and will definitely not force you."

But doing this is equivalent to fighting against Mrs. Wang. Jia Lian and his wife can attack Mrs. Wang and ignore what she said, but Yuanyang can't. Mrs. Wang has always said nothing in front of these girls. This is what makes Yuanyang embarrassed. Where can there be a way to have the best of both worlds? Yuanyang is hesitating, Ping'er smiled and said: "In my opinion, it is better for the second master to ask the old lady for you, and then you are resolute and refuse to repeat the shameless words you said just now. Master's attempt will naturally fail. Madam will not want you anymore. Even if she wants to, she will wait until the old lady is gone."

Xiren agreed: "This saves a lot of trouble."

Ping'er then joked: "Of course, you can also tell the old lady directly that you don't want to marry the second master Bao, but only marry the second master Lian. The effect is better. The wife will die."

"Bah! Little hoofs, think I'm your cows who don't drink water and press hard: head, you must talk to the men to be independent without your troubles, I'll tell the old lady myself."

Jia Lian hurriedly pulled her and smiled: "Since Sister Yuanyang found me, I will naturally think of a way for you to push it."

Yuanyang listened, and then blushed and thanked Jia Lian by bowing her knees. It caused Pinger and Xiren to laugh. Yuanyang was so angry that she scolded, and Pinger Xiren persuaded her for a while. The wife mentioned Mandarin Duck. "I've watched this girl with cold eyes for several years. She is very careful and careful, and I begged for Baoyu, but I'm afraid the old lady won't let it go."

The old lady thought for a while, "This girl is the most sincere, and here is the only child I can trust."

Sister Feng hurriedly said with a smile: "By the old lady's side, whether it's the moldy silver or the delicate girl, it's naturally reserved for Baoyu. Madam, it's better to let Yuanyang wait for a few more years, and let's talk about it when the training is good."

The old lady smiled and said, "Why didn't you ask for it for Lian'er?"

Sister Feng replied: "Second Master Lian is not worthy of such a good girl. You Ping'er and the others are not satisfied."

Mrs. Wang said: "I also mentioned it by accident. If Brother Lian wants it, then treat it as if I didn't say it!"

Sister Feng just laughed, thinking that if the second master really has any thoughts, she doesn't know. She doesn't talk about it now, and smiles vaguely. The old lady said: "I wanted to stay with the mandarin ducks for a few years, and when I die, I will give it to me. Baoyu. But now Baoyu is devoted to studying, people are stupid, and I am even more worried. There are a few girls around him, and they are more dedicated when she is out of the moon, and nothing else. The previous one also left. Not only I gave the mandarin ducks to me. He also brought Amber together, as long as Baoyu can recover, my old lady will be relieved."

Mrs. Wang immediately got up and said, "The old lady and I thought about it together. Unfortunately, there is no one around me who is similar to the mandarin ducks, otherwise, the old lady would not speak more."

It seems that giving the mandarin ducks to Baoyu is already a sure thing. What should I do?

Chapter [*] The things left to Baoyu are about to be negotiated here. Amber listened and rushed out to report to Yuanyang. After finally finding it, Amber dragged Yuanyang and anxiously said: "It's not good, The wife begged you to be the auntie of Second Master Bao, and now the old lady has agreed. You should think about what to do!"

Amber knew Yuanyang's intentions, so he was anxious for her. The girl saw Jia Lian also together, and suddenly smiled: "So my sister was with Erye earlier."

"What did the dead girl say?"

Yuanyang stopped her and spat: "It's not what you think, I'm just asking Second Master Lian to think of a way, there's nothing else."

Ping'er smiled and said, "We said just now that the mandarin duck's hooves don't look down on it."

In front of Jia Lian, Yuanyang was very embarrassed, "I'm a girl, what the second master thinks, you're just talking nonsense!"

Who knows, Jia Lian smiled and said: "If you look at it, how can you not look at it?"

"oops!"

Yuanyang hurriedly covered his face, not wanting to scold Jia Lian for being shameless, so he sat down on the stone with his head down in shame. Amber advised: "If you don't want to, think about it quickly, I'm afraid it will be decided later."

Yuanyang said: "Just follow one heart, serve the old lady and return to the west, and never marry."

Amber said: "If you want to say why the second master of Bao is not good, I think it is good! It's better than the third master of Huan"

Xiren smiled and said: "You think about the third master Huan, and you are not afraid of Caiyun making trouble with you"

Amber blushed, Jia Lian pretended to be curious and asked, "Why did they get together?"

Ping'er hurriedly pulled away, "Second Master, the matter of the mandarin ducks is important now, what should I do?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "It was a very simple matter, since Yuanyang is unwilling to marry Baoyu, then say I like it, and the old lady and aunt will never mention it again, but Yuanyang is afraid of getting involved with me, so she will be cruel to leave. I'm leaving, my mind has turned into water, what else can I do?"

Yuanyang said angrily: "Second master, you are still joking, I will hit the wall and throw into the well from here, and I will die!"

"Don't stop!"
