Chapter 375 This brother is extraordinary

Long before Princess Zhaoyang and Jia Lian moved into Kunyu Pavilion, the county magistrate and others asked Kunyu Pavilion to vacate the entire third floor, leaving no one idle.

Jia Lian didn’t feel anything wrong with this.

If there was nothing going on at the city gate and the three of them entered the city quietly, he would naturally not do anything special.

Now that the identity has been exposed, there are naturally more things to consider. If there is less trouble, there will be less trouble.

The three fathers and sons of the Xue family came to Jia Lian's room under the guidance of the child.

The second master of the Xue family was very polite and saluted Jia Lian when they met.

It was a pity that he was too weak and needed the support of his children. He almost fell down when he bowed.

Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and then said sincerely: "Uncle Shi, there is no need to be polite. With the nearly one hundred years of friendship between our families, Uncle Shi can just call my nephew by his name."

While speaking, he took the second master of the Xue family from the hands of the two Xue family brothers and helped him sit on the chair next to him, then turned around and sat down.

The second master of the Xue family looked ashamed, but he couldn't help but go against Jia Lian's words again and again.

"In that case, please forgive me for asking you to call me my nephew."

Jia Lian smiled, then looked at the second master of the Xue family standing behind him, looking like The somewhat reserved Xue brothers and sisters.

"Are these two brothers Xue Biao and sister Bao Qin? When I was in Beijing, I often heard my aunt mention that the son of brother Xue Biao was a talented person, quiet and sensible. Sister Bao Qin was pretty. , far better than ordinary people. When we meet today, we can see that what my aunt said is true."

When Jia Lian said this, a boy and a girl who were only in their teens became even more embarrassed, with expressions on their faces. Ashamed.

The second master of the Xue family knew that after the death of his brother, it was difficult for his sister-in-law to maintain the family business alone, so the family moved to Kyoto, and they still live in his sister's home, which is Rongguo Mansion.

And Jia Lian is the young master who inherited the title from Rongguo Mansion.

Therefore, I didn’t find Jia Lian’s words surprising or abrupt.

"Biao'er, Qin'er, why don't you come forward to meet your second brother Lian."

Hearing their father's words, both Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin looked straight, as if I had rehearsed it in my mind for a long time, and I obediently came forward to pay my respects:

“I’ve met Brother Lian...”

It’s normal to meet peers, regardless of age. No matter how big the difference is, you should return the favor.

But Jia Lian’s identity is there after all, so it’s notNot too humble, just smiled and raised his hand.

"Brother Scorpion, sister Qin, please get up quickly, there is no need to be so polite."

Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin raised their heads, although they could feel Jia Lian's kindness to them. I mean, I don't dare to make any mistakes in front of my father.

When he quietly returned to his father's side, he saw his father shaking his head and talking.

"They can't live up to their aunt's words. I just found out that the two of them had met their nephew in a tea shop outside the city before...

In vain My nephew used to make decisions for us, but these two ignorant people actually took away the things that my nephew loved most.

I have already taught them a lesson for this, Please kind nephew not to take it seriously."

After saying that, the second master of the Xue family didn't stop, and immediately frowned and looked at Xue Baoqin, "Qin'er, why don't you take out the jade pendant and return it to me quickly? You, second brother Lian, and apologize to second brother Lian."

When Xue Baoqin heard this, his small face without any blemishes suddenly frowned, as if he was aggrieved.

After all, I didn’t dare to disobey my father’s words, so I had to take out the jade pendant from my arms, walked to Jia Lian, held it in for a long time, and then said: "Brother Lian, I’m sorry, I’ll give this back to you~"< br />
As he finished speaking, there were tears in his big eyes, which became more and more watery.

She felt aggrieved.

If her father and mother hadn’t often taught them not to spend money randomly when going out, she would have been willing to spend more money at that time.

If so, she would have known that Jia Lian was a distant cousin, so naturally it would be the same.

However, her father did not understand them at all. After knowing this, he scolded them and now asked her to apologize...

Looking at Xue Baoqin holding her hands Wearing a jade pendant and standing in front of him, crying, Jia Lian was stunned for a moment.

Not for anything else, just because he felt that he was about to be turned into a cute girl by the girl in front of him!

He didn’t know how to describe it. Xue Baoqin was definitely a girl who could not help but like her at first sight.

The little girl whose cardamom has not yet opened still exudes a childlike and innocent atmosphere.

That aside, all the handsome girls in the world have their own cuteness in this age group.

However, Xue Baoqin is not just that.

Not only does she have the innocence and cuteness of a girl, but she also has a beauty and coquettishness that should not be shown at this age!

On the small face of Guazi, not only the facial features are exquisite and exquisite to the extreme, but the skin is also supple and smooth to the extreme.

White and rosy, it seems that such words can only be used on her, without any exaggeration.

Against the background of hanging black hair, the same goes for the delicate neck.

Coupled with the slender figure wrapped in a pink hairpin skirt and the ten slender green jade fingers exposed from the cuffs, the whole look is just like the heroine coming out of the two-dimensional world, which is unbearable. Touch it, for fear that if you are not careful, it will be damaged.

In terms of pure natural beauty, even the little Daiyu I saw when I first went to Jiangnan is a little inferior.

Because Daiyu had been in poor health since childhood and had been taking medicine all year round, although her complexion was fair and beautiful, she was a little less energetic and rosy than Xue Baoqin.

Such an innocent girl was standing in front of Jia Lian, as if she had been greatly wronged, which made Jia Lian feel overwhelmed.

"Sister Qin doesn't have to be like this."

Without taking the jade pendant in Xue Baoqin's hand, Jia Lian gave the girl a reassuring look, then looked at the second master of the Xue family and explained : "Uncle Shi must have misunderstood.

When I first arrived here, I was penniless, so I pawned a jade pendant I had with me.

Sister Qin did the same. I didn’t want to see others bullying me, so I came to help. It not only helped me out of trouble, but also allowed me to successfully pawn the money. It was a two-fold favor for me at once.

　say Get up, I should thank Sister Qin properly."

As he said that, Jia Lian stood up and slightly cupped his hands towards Xue Baoqin.

Seeing this, he was impressed by Jia Lian's magnanimity and sighed deeply: "Even so, since this thing is the nephew's personal belongings, he must also like it very much. It is definitely not something that a little girl can steal for herself."

"It doesn't matter. Don't say that this is a transaction where you pay the money and deliver the goods, you and I are willing to do it.

That's not the case. Today I met Sister Qin for the first time. As a cousin, I just like her. It is natural to give as a gift."

While speaking, seeing Xue Baoqin working hard with her hands raised, he held up her small hands with one hand, and slowly closed her outstretched fingers with the other hand, smiling warmly : "It doesn't matter, sister Qin, just take it."

Baoqin's cheeks turned slightly red and she quietly retracted her hands.

　"Uncle Shi, there is no need to say more about this matter. It's just a small thing, what's it worth?"

Seeing that Jia Lian really meant it, the second master of the Xue family couldn't say anything more. He asked Xue Baoqin to express his thanks to Jia Lian. , paused for a long time, and gave his son Xue Biao a look.

Seeing this, Xue Biao calmly took out the things his father had given him before and presented them to Jia Lian respectfully.

Seeing Jia Lian’s confusion, the second master of the Xue family explained.

"My nephew may also know that my Xue family's caravan has arrived outside the city as early as three days ago.

" It has not been able to enter the city because of Na Jiedu. The rich man in the government is bullying others.

If we hadn’t happened to meet our wise nephew to rescue us today, our Xue family business would not only have suffered serious losses, but even Qin’er’s reputation would have been ruined by that shameless villain. In my hand."

The second master of the Xue family glanced at his daughter, whose face was slightly pale, cupped his fists and said: "In order to express my gratitude to my nephew, I will also give you these three thousand taels of silver notes. My nephew will definitely accept it."

Jia Lian had already seen clearly what was unfolding in Xue Biao's hand. They were several well-made silver notes. The first one was a bank check issued by Datong Bank, the largest bank in Beijing. The amount of each ticket was as high as one thousand taels!

Even big banks rarely issue banknotes of this denomination, and they are usually only issued to powerful and reputable people or families.

After all, the biggest advantage of banknotes is that they are easy to carry, so that people do not have to carry heavy and heavy amounts of silver from east to west, from south to north.

The shortcomings are also obvious. The most important one is that most banknotes can only be exchanged at fixed cities and fixed banks. Because only in this way can the bank check the votes internally to prevent counterfeiting and false claims.

To be honest, he had expected the Xue family to reward him. I just didn't expect that the second master of the Xue family was so generous, and he could make three thousand taels at a time.

He remembered that Jia Lian once donated a thousand taels of silver to a prefecture magistrate!

After a moment of silence, facing the gazes of the three Xue family members, Jia Lian shook his head and said, "I can't accept this money."

"This... ahem, my dear nephew, I know that my nephew is a man of honor and integrity, but if there were no nephew today, my Xue family caravan would have lost an unknown amount of goods.

This is the only way I can express my gratitude to my nephew. Please accept it, my dear nephew!"

The second master of the Xue family was a little anxious and wanted to stand up and ask Jia Lian to accept the gift.

His worship was extremely sincere. Based on the money he spent on this trip, if he hadn't met Jia Lian, even if Wutuo City only detained 30% of his goodsgoods, he would have to lose at least ten to twenty thousand silver worth of goods.

Not to mention, that dude still wants to get involved with Qin'er!

Jia Lian stopped the second master of the Xue family from being polite, but still did not change his words at all.

"I really can't accept this money, and I won't accept it."

Jia Lian sat at the top, speaking calmly.

"Let’s not talk about the Xue and Jia families. Since the founding of the country, they have accumulated nearly a hundred years of friendship. I still hear people say that the four major families of Jia Shi Wang Xue and Xue are in the same spirit. Branches, when they are prosperous, they are both prosperous, and when they are damaged, they are both damaged!

Let’s just say that in this world, the second wife of the Jia family and the mother of the Xue family were also close sisters.

And mine Mrs. Wang is the niece of the mother of the Xue family!

Now, Aunt Xue, seeing what she has done, does not dislike my Jia family for being despicable. She brought a pair of children all the way to Beijing to be next to us. While living in the country, I often came over to chat and laugh with my old lady.

How much trust and family connection is this?

Now I just happened to have the chance to be here. I accidentally helped Uncle Shi once within the scope of my ability, and then asked for reward from Uncle Shi. This not only belittled my character, but also belittled the long-lasting friendship between the Xue and Jia families. It also failed Aunt Xue’s support for our Jia family. Trust.

If I really accepted this money today, I’m afraid that after I return to Beijing, my old lady will find out and scold me for being too greedy for money and focusing on small profits over righteousness.

This matter really cannot be done."

Jia Lian frowned and finished these words with a serious face, and then ordered Xue Biao to put the banknotes away again.

Xue Tadden was immediately at a loss.

With his father's explanation on one side and Jia Lian's loud words on the other, he could only turn back and look at his old father innocently.

"But..."

The second master of the Xue family wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Jia Lian: "Uncle Shi, there is no need to say any more, I have made up my mind. Yes. "Oh, I forgot to ask my uncle. What was the result of the doctor's diagnosis and treatment?

I was busy just now and forgot to see my uncle. But I was so tired that my uncle came to see me with his sick body. My nephew is really ashamed."

"What did my nephew say? You shoulder the important responsibility of protecting the princess, so naturally you don't have to stick to such small details..."

The second master of the Xue family frowned and hesitated. Obviously still unwilling to give up like this.

It’s just that Jia Lian has already talked about other topics, so he can’t bring up the old ones again. The feeling of not being able to give away a lot of money made him look a little embarrassed.

Xue Biao saw that his father had no idea. After raising his hands for a long time, he could only silently return to his father's side.

On the other side, Xue Baoqin kept Jia Lian's actions in his mind from beginning to end, his eyes floating.

This second brother Lian is really different from ordinary people... No, very unusual!

Thinking like this, his tender fingers could not help but secretly rub the piece of jade pendant that he had been holding in his hand, and then, while his father and others were not paying attention, he stuffed it into his arms again. .
