Chapter 238 Playing at Dusk

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Xifeng was naturally a little bit disgusted.

But then he adjusted his mentality.

As long as the unscrupulous people don’t go out and fool around, it doesn’t matter if there are only two or three people at home.

"I heard that Sir Alex has made a fortune again today, so I'm here to congratulate you." Wang Xifeng smiled, stepped forward to take the wine glass from Xiang Ling's hand, and motioned for Xiang Ling to join him.

Then he saw that Jia Lian just smiled and ignored her, then walked over and asked with a smile: "Why don't you tell me, how did you get all the money outside?"
< br />"It's only three thousand taels, that's a lot?"

Seeing Jia Lian reply without raising his head, Wang Xifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said with a smile: "Yes, yes, everyone knows that we are The second master of Jia Lian is now so powerful, how can he take a mere three thousand taels of silver into his eyes?

It’s just that the young man has short eyelids.

Therefore, the young man is I respectfully invite the second master to have a glass of wine, and then ask the second master to give me some advice."

Wang Xifeng said, holding the wine glass in one hand and the bottom of the glass in the other, serving wine to Jia Lian.

As the eldest daughter of the Wang family, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never touched her hands in the years since she married into the Jia family. She has taken good care of her bare hands.

Compared to Xiang Ling’s weak little hands, they are a little less immature and look even more slender and beautiful.

She also has long nails, dotted with bright khat, which adds a bit of coquettishness to these beautiful palms.

Jia Lian suddenly remembered the woman who fell off her horse in the Prince's Courtyard today. At that time, he noticed that her hands were also decorated with high-end nail polish.

I think having long nails painted with khaodan is also a symbol of a status woman in this era...

Without thinking too much, I watched Wang Xifeng raise the glass to her mouth with both hands. Next to it, under the nose, the fragrance of wine combined with the fragrance of the beauty's bare hands is exactly what makes people's hearts flutter.

So he drank her whole sip, and Wang Xifeng was caught off guard, grabbing her slender waist and holding her in his arms to sit down.

"What are you doing? The girls are still here..."

Wang Xifeng's cheeks turned red. After sitting firmly, she patted Jia Lian's thigh to show her dissatisfaction.

"I've finished eating."

Jia Lian put down his chopsticks, lowered his head in Wang Xifeng's ear, and whispered: "Don't you want to know where the money came from? Let's go Come on, let's go insideTell you slowly. "

After saying that, Jia Lian picked up Wang Xifeng by the waist, stood up and walked to the back room.

"Yeah, you are going to die. I still have something to do, so don't mess around... …”

Wang Xifeng couldn’t tell Jia Lian’s thoughts, and immediately twisted up.

It was just nightfall, and it was not time to rest yet! Moreover, when In front of Xiang Ling and other maids, she always felt ashamed when the two masters went in and did bad things.

Ping'er was packing things in the back room at this time. When she saw the second master and second grandma coming in like this, she smiled slightly. For a moment, he put down what he was doing and was about to leave.

Seeing that Jia Lian was determined, Wang Xifeng obeyed in her heart, so when she saw Ping'er, she stretched her neck and gave Ping'er a Ping'er's understanding eyes.

Ping'er nodded to her knowingly, and then went out. Looking at the two girls with different expressions in the second room, he said seriously: "You two go to the room. Watch at the door, don't let anyone in, I'll go to the kitchen to get some hot water and come back. "

Xiangling nodded. She knew the rules, so she took Qingwen's hand and retreated outside to watch.

Qingwen said: "You guys keep watch here. It'll be fine now. I just went to get food for the second master, and my feet are sore. I'll go back and take a rest. "

After saying that, he left with an unhappy mouth.

Ping'er couldn't talk about her, so he nodded with the well-behaved Xiangling and left the back room. The door went to the small kitchen.

…

In Rongqing Hall, when Jia Mu and others heard what Jia Zheng said, their faces were full of disbelief.

"You mean, Lian'er won 10,000 taels of silver in a poetry competition outside?

Even the Prince of Beijing was so impressed by Lian'er's literary talents that he promised three thousand taels of gold just to obtain a manuscript written by Lian'er himself? ? ? ”

Jia’s mother said this with a forehead-deep greeting.

In the hall, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, including Jia who came around after hearing the noise Sister Baoyu, as well as the surrounding maids, servants and others, were all dumbfounded.

Jia Zheng knew that Jia Mu and others would not believe it, so he had been prepared for it.
< br /> "This is what the historian of the Palace of Beijing just said in person, and my son copied it down immediately. The old lady asked me to read it. ”

Jia Zheng took out his manuscript and presented it to Jia Mu respectfully.

Jia Mu took it blankly, glanced at it casually, and noticed that everyone They were all very curious, so they simply handed the manuscript to Jia Baoyu, who was squeezing in front of him, and ordered: "Baoyu, come and read it for everyone. ”

"Okay!"

Jia Baoyu, who considers himself to be the most talented among the men in the Jia family, took the manuscript papers very neatly as if he was being rewarded.

He still didn’t believe it. Could it be that Brother Lian really became a monster?

After a while.

Jia Baoyu lowered his arms dully and glanced at the people around him who had almost the same expression. A feeling of powerlessness came to his heart.

Especially, seeing the astonishment in the eyes of his sisters, he felt that he would no longer be able to keep the last piece of pure land at home.

Brother Lian, you are really not a human being...

If not, how could he write such a good sentence!

"The most unbearable thing in the world is that the beauty can say goodbye to the flowers in the mirror and the trees."

"The wind has changed, the snow has changed, and the dreams of the hometown are shattered... ”

Secretly compared the words and phrases with which he was most proud. Even though he was unwilling to do so, Jia Baoyu knew that he had been crushed!

For a moment, Jia Baoyu even thought that it would be better if he had little knowledge and had not learned a few poems.

In that case, maybe these poems were written by predecessors and were used by Brother Lian, but he didn’t know it...

It’s a pity that I turned my head to take a look. From the look in Sister Lin's eyes, Jia Baoyu knew that this was an impossible hope.

Even though he has little talent and little knowledge, Sister Lin is extremely intelligent.

With Sister Lin’s uprightness, if her predecessors had said the same thing, she would have pointed it out without any hesitation, so she wouldn’t worry about Brother Lian’s feelings!

As a former daughter of the Hou family, Jia’s mother, although not particularly talented, has developed good taste skills since she was a child.

At least she is much more elegant than Mrs. Wang.

She could also hear that these poems were indeed extraordinary.

Those two quatrains were nothing more than these two poems. Even when she read them, she found them thought-provoking and memorable.

When the beautiful face leaves the mirror, it is like the blooming flowers taking off their branches and falling into the mortal world.

What a fitting metaphor.

When she was young, she was not a beauty.

Jia Mu quietly touched her gray temples, and immediately realized that this was an embarrassing behavior, put it down quickly, and then asked Jia Zheng: "Are these really written by Lian'er? Could it be that you are mistaken? Ever since Lian'er was a child, I have never seen him say a few decent words., it would be really strange if he could write these things. "

Although Daiyu also felt that this incident was strange, when she heard Jia Mu disparaging Jia Lian in public, Daiyu couldn't help but said: "Old lady, the second brother Lian went to Yangzhou to pick me up. At that time, I actually said something, and even my father felt complimented after hearing it. "

"Oh, what are you talking about? "

Daiyu felt that it was not appropriate until she said it.

But seeing that Jia Mu didn't take it seriously, she let it go, thought about it, and simplified the things of the day. She said it for a while.

She did this purely to clear up Jia Lian’s name and prevent others from looking down on him like that.

The second brother Lian is just stable and reserved, and doesn’t like publicity.< br />
But, it’s so strange. If Brother Lian is really capable of composing poems and lyrics, then why did he bother himself to teach Xiang Ling in the first place? Why should he teach Xiang Ling himself in his courtyard? .

Thinking back to every time I went to Xiangling’s house to teach her, whenever Brother Lian came home, he would always come over to have a look...

Could it be that Brother Lian was just busy? On the one hand, and on the other hand, is it for the convenience of seeing me?

Daiyu, who suddenly felt embarrassed, was busy looking for a suitable reason.

Yes, his father asked him to take him. When he went to Beijing, he must have promised his father to take good care of him.

It was not easy for him to take care of him when he stayed in the old lady's house, so he asked him to go to her courtyard often. It's good to check from time to time to see if you're sick again and how well you are...

Even yesterday, when he rarely came to see me, he told me to go to his hospital.

From this point of view, maybe you should go and sit more often when you have time, so as to live up to his hard work...

　"The life and death of the family and the country are all about it, *********!" Sure enough, good sentences and good ambition, this is the ambition of a man's family! ”

When Jia Zheng heard this sentence from his niece, he praised it and glared at Jia Baoyu fiercely.

A beast seeking death, if you are half as good as Jia Lian If he is sensible and motivated, I don’t have to worry so much!

Without glaring twice, he noticed that Jia Mu also started to glare at him. Jia Zheng immediately calmed down and said to Jia Mu: "My son also learned from his colleagues in the past. Having heard this sentence before, they all said that it came from our family Lian'er.

Later I learned that this was mentioned in Ru Hai’s memorial to the Holy Emperor. I originally thought that Ru Hai wanted to support Lian’er, so he deliberately promoted him.

Now that my niece said this, it seems that it really came from his mouth.

If you look at it this way, I'm afraid that Lian'er really has some talent and can make these sentences, which makes sense.

It’s just why he didn’t show it much before... I can’t guess what he’s thinking, I’m afraid I can’t ignore it with common sense. ”

Mother Jia doesn’t care much about her family, country or world, but she was deeply touched by Jia Zheng’s words.

Jia Lian, this grandson, really cannot be treated like an ordinary person!

Take what happened yesterday as an example. In the face of such a big event, most people would not want to take advantage and hide when money is given out!

Jia Lian was so generous that he took the initiative. He handed over all his father's inheritance to build a garden for his family!

Although looking back later, he probably wanted to force Zhen'er to give up the site of Hui Fang Yuan, but this is not what ordinary people should do. The way they act.

She and Mrs. Wang are willing to pay because they really love Yuanchun and can't bear to see her unable to go home to see her when she has such an opportunity.

But as for Jia Lian, Yuanchun was only a half-year-old boy when he entered the palace. What did he want to do? Is it just for fun? Based on all the previous experiences, this kid Lian'er may have really escaped the category of "common people". The way of behavior and the way of doing things cannot be ignored by common sense.

It is impossible to say, these poems may really be written by him.

"Old lady, I just I heard that Lian'er has also returned home. Instead of speculating here, why don't we call him over and ask him from the other side? "

Mrs. Wang, who had no interest in poetry, suddenly said.

Jia Mu raised her forehead and said, "Look at me, it's not right."

Yuanyang, go and invite him over and tell him that we have something to ask him. ”

There are particularities in what kind of person you should use to invite.

Today’s Jia Lian cannot be like before, just any little maid can do it. I went to call him.

…

Before it got completely dark, Yuanyang didn’t waste any time and left Jia Mu’s courtyard alone to go to Sister Feng’s Children’s Hospital. Come.

Her mood is a bit complicated, but the most surprising thing is that she is surprised.

As the most prestigious maid in Jia Mu’s house, she is also the servant with the highest level of education.
/>
This is due to the fact that both of her parents have been elderly people in Rongguofu for several generations, so she has a basic foundation for loving reading since she was a child.

Later, she served Jia Mu, Jia Mu She is also an elegant person. Even in order to please Jia Mu, she did some hard work on reading and literacy.With such effort, she was able to leave the other ignorant maids far behind.

This is actually one of the reasons why other maids cannot shake her status.

When Jia Mu is old, she needs such a considerate person with both ability and political integrity to take care of her.

Because of this, she is one of the few maids who can understand the good connotation of those poems.

Originally Mr. Lian was good enough, but I didn’t expect that everyone still misjudged him...

Yuanyang didn’t know what kind of mentality he should have. Reasoning should be admired and revered, but she found that such thoughts were not too serious.

Because, the more perfect Mr. Lian is, the further away he is from maids like them...

Yuanyang is very familiar with Sister Feng’s nursery, and usually helps Jia Mu take care of things. , she had to deal with Jia Lian and his wife, so she did not go through the main entrance, but directly entered Sister Feng's children's courtyard from the side moon cave door, and went up the corridor of the main room.

The yard was quiet except for the faint chirping of insects, which seemed a bit noisy in the quiet dusk.

"Sister Yuanyang, why are you here."

Yuanyang walked to the door of the main room and saw no one. He hesitated for a moment before opening the door curtain and going in.

Looking forward, I saw Xiangling sitting on the edge of the tea table, her head propped up on her hands, in a daze.

Hearing the noise, he came back to his senses and immediately greeted her, a little nervous.

"Why are you here alone? Are your father and grandma at home?"

"Here, there..."

Xiang Ling Some blushing, both grandma and grandpa have been feeling better for a long time.

There was also Sister Ping'er who didn't come out after going in...

Although Yuanyang didn't see or hear anything, she only saw Xiangling subconsciously going inside. Looking back, I thought again that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were still at home, but all the door curtains were down, and I still didn't realize anything.

Her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly let go of Xiangling's hand, "Go and tell your father, just say that the old lady called him."

After Yuanyang said this quickly, he ducked out of the room.

Then I heard Jia Lian’s voice coming from the inner room: "The old lady called me, right? Sister Yuanyang, wait a moment, I will go with you right away."

Yuanyang didn't reply.

After a while, Jia Lian walked out of it.

The sky was very dark, dimming Jia Lianfeng’s handsome appearance.

The mandarin duck is loweredHead, not daring to look back.
