Jia Lian returned to the front hall smiling all the way.

Originally, I just wanted to see Miaoyu with my own eyes and see what this woman, one of the twelve most beautiful women, really looked like.

Jia Lian was also surprised when he teased her on a whim.

I don’t regret it.

Anyway, Miaoyu didn’t really become a nun, and his doing so was not considered blasphemy against the Buddha.

Anyway, Miaoyu has six unclean roots. Let her experience the love between men and women in advance, so as not to make her heart filthy and unable to control herself when she comes to Jia's house and sees the fake man Jia Baoyu. .

Anyway, Jia Lian thought he couldn't do it if he wanted to learn from Jia Baoyu, who was "fresh and refined" and would not hesitate to demean himself and the group of men to cater to all women in order to please them. Arrived.

As for an abnormal woman like Miaoyu, it is estimated that only a person and behavior like Jia Baoyu can get along with her, so Jia Lian never thought of making friends with her like an ordinary woman from the beginning. , to impress the heart with vain pursuits.

Therefore, Jia Lian felt that today's incident would probably leave a deep impression on her heart for such a noble woman who did not regard all secular people in her eyes and claimed to be aloof and pure.

As for whether this impression was good or bad, Jia Lian didn't care.

Seeing that Daiyu was still being baptized by the master, Jia Lian did not care about feeling sorry for her. After explaining to Grandma Wang and others, he left Panxiang Temple.

Found Zhaoer and others, who were gathering under the roots of a big tree to play dice. When they saw Jia Lian, they all hurriedly put them away.

“Have you heard what I asked you to inquire about?”

The family named Xing is located in the area to the left of the temple. Although they are separated by a wall, they all belong to the Panxiang Temple. They rent it out to people from outside all year round. There are about seven or eight families."

Hearing Jia Lian's question, Zhaoer stepped forward like a dog and replied with a smile.

Jia Lian asked them to lead the way to Xing's house.



Moreover, Xing Xiuyan, as Mrs. Look at the truth.

Panxiang Temple was originally a small temple. Later, the land was enclosed and walls were built, which separated some of the original houses of the temple. Later, the temple was no longer needed, so it was rented to others at low prices. houseThe son lives in poverty.

The Xing family took advantage of this convenience and has been renting it for seven or eight years.

On this day, Xing Zhong, the head of the Xing family, went out to do work, leaving only his wife Shao and his daughter Xiuyan at home.



Mother Xing asked: "Are you looking for Miaoyu again? If you go to see her so often, won't Miaoyu bother you?"

"No. , Sister Miaoyu is very nice."

Xing's mother smiled and said: "Then remember to come back early for dinner."

Xing Xiuyan agreed to her mother's words, hugged the baggage and left As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I looked up and saw several men walking over.

Seeing that they seemed to be heading towards their home, Xiao Xiuyan thought for a moment, gestured to them, then turned around and shouted to her mother inside: "Mom, our family Are there any guests today?"

"What guests?" Xing's mother heard her daughter's voice, dropped her head and walked out.

Seeing several strangers who had arrived at the door of the house, he quickly protected his daughter behind him and asked: "Who are you looking for?"

Looking at Shaw's obviously wary look , Jia Lian, who had just led Zhaoer and Zhang Yong to find him, couldn't help but secretly thought, ordinary people in this era really have no sense of security. They are so scared when they see strangers. Miaoyu was like this before, and so is the woman in front of him now.

In comparison, the little girl is much more normal.

"May I ask if this is uncle Xing's house?"

Jia Lian asked Shao with his hands raised.

"Who are you?"

Jia Lian didn't want to frighten Shao and others too much, so he directly revealed his identity after hearing this: "Junior Jia Lian, I heard my wife say this when I was at home. My uncle and his family live in Panxiang Temple, Suzhou. They happened to have arrived in Suzhou recently, so they came here to visit their uncle and aunt."

Shao looked at Jia Lian and the others carefully, hesitated for a moment, and asked : "Are you from the Rongguo Mansion in the middle of the capital?"

It's no wonder that Shao was cautious. Although she knew that her husband had a very good sister who married into the Rongguo Mansion in the middle of the capital and became the head wife. Very rich. After all, she and her husband are not from the same mother, and the relationship between brother and sister is relatively weak, so that they have hardly communicated with each other for more than ten years.

When she suddenly heard that the other party had sent someone to see them, she naturally felt very surprised and sudden.

"Exactly."

Jia Lian smiled and looked.He glanced at the girl who poked her head out and said with a smile: "Is this Xiuyan's cousin?"

Seeing that Jia Lian even knew his daughter's name, if he wasn't a bad guy, he would probably be fine.

Mr. Shao immediately showed a surprised smile and greeted quickly: "It's such a rare visitor. I didn't expect that after so many years, my eldest sister can still remember us. Well, how is she doing now? "

"Our wife has always lived a long and healthy life, very good."

"On the contrary, she is such a lucky person..."

Shao Suddenly he became embarrassed, looked left and right, and said in embarrassment: "Our family is poor. You see, this distinguished guest has come to our door, and we have nothing to entertain. This..."

Jia Lian heard this I looked inside the courtyard and found that although the courtyard was really not big and there were not two rooms, it was very neatly kept and very clean.

"My aunt was joking. I am a junior and it is inappropriate to bother me rashly. If my aunt says this again, she is blaming my nephew."

After hearing what Jia Lian said, Shao Shi Xiao's eyes narrowed.

Although Jia Lian did not wear gorgeous clothes because of Jia Min's new mourning, it was just his ordinary plain clothes that could not completely conceal his noble demeanor. living.

Looking at Jia Lian’s fair skin, handsome appearance, and his every word and deed, he was even more elegant and courteous that ordinary people could never match. I thought to myself that if such people were all bad people, I’m afraid there would be only a few in the world. There are no good people left. So he ran away with his last concern and greeted several people to come in.

Jia Lian followed in, but Zhaoer and Zhang Yong behaved well and just stood outside the door, refusing to come in no matter how Shao called them.

The style of such a big family makes the Shaw family secretly admired.

So he personally took a new bowl and poured tea with Jia Lian. When he saw his daughter standing blankly by the side, he quickly said: "Why are you standing there stupidly? I haven't come here to see your expression." Brother?"



Although he was born into a poor family, Xing Xiuyan's etiquette is somewhat like that of an ordinary person. Even people from a big family would not be able to find anything wrong with it.

Jia Lian also took a rough look at Xing Xiuyan.

The little girl in her teens, although her skirt was made of hairpin, was clean, her golden eyes seemed to be shining, and she looked very cute. In particular, her whole body exudes an elegant and elegant temperament that is unlike any other woman Jia Lian has ever seen before.

It can be seen that he is Miaoyu’s discipleyounger brother.

However, although Xiuyan has inherited Miaoyu’s aloofness, she does not have Miaoyu’s aloofness and aloofness that can be seen at a glance.

No wonder I will be able to write poems like "It doesn't seem to be an ordinary color, the shades are determined by the ice and snow." It is conceivable that when she grows up in the future, she will also be an elegant and elegant beauty with both talent and appearance.

"Come, please sit down and drink tea..."

Shao pulled out the bench beside the table, wiped it with his sleeves, and invited Jia Lian to sit down again. .

Jia Lian knew her mentality. He would feel uneasy if he was polite to her, so he invited each other and sat down, and then asked: "Why isn't uncle at home?"

"He went out to work with others. I heard that Zhang Yuan's family in Nancheng was going to build a manor outside the city and they were short of laborers, so your uncle went there. He is really busy these days. I'm afraid I won't have to come back until very late."

This is the pain of running around for the sake of family income. Although Shao told the truth, he couldn't help but stare at Jia Lian, for fear that he would show disgust.

Jia Lian didn't, so he casually chatted with Shao for a few words, thinking that things might be over with Daiyu, so he didn't want to stay any longer.

He took out the twenty taels of silver that had been wrapped in silk in advance, and then said apologetically: "I am in a hurry, and I came to the door without preparing a gift. It is really rude... How many taels of silver are there? , just buy some clothes for sister Xiuyan, it is also a little bit of my kindness."

"How does this make..."

Shao quickly refused, they Although he was poor, he still knew the money. It was so heavy, how could it only be a few taels.

Jia Lian smiled and saw that none of them answered, so he bowed and took Xiu Yan's hand and put the silver into her hand.

"This, alas...Xiuyan, why don't you thank your cousin quickly, you girl..."

Shao saw Jia Lian giving seriously, but after all, he couldn't resist it in his heart The temptation was just based on false politeness. While letting Xiuyan say thank you, he blamed Xiuyan for not answering the question.

Jia Lian originally came here just to see Xiuyan in advance. Now that his purpose was achieved, he stood up and left.

"I have other things to do, so I won't bother my aunt anymore. When my uncle comes back, I'll ask my aunt to say hello on my behalf."

"Why don't you just leave? "It's almost noon. It's not too late to stay and have dinner before going..."

Shao tried his best to persuade him to stay, but he couldn't. He could only watch Jia Lian and others suddenly arrive. Left suddenly again.

I felt a little dreamy in my heart.

Reaching out to pick up the small package that her daughter was still holding, she carefully untied the fine blue silk.

Wow, there is indeed a pile of white flowers inside, all of which are small silver ingots the size of one or two taels. He took out one and bit it to confirm that it was real. The smile on Shao's face became brighter and brighter.
