Chapter 447: Miss Duo and Li Wan

That afternoon, Jia Lian went to the Bingma Si Yamen to make the handover, and then began to prepare for matters related to going south.

As for Shenji Camp, Jia Lian doesn’t have much energy to take care of it now. He had only visited the headquarters of Shenji Camp after the Great Court Meeting before, and after getting to know the main generals and people in charge, he basically didn't care much about the affairs there.

Although in his plan, understanding and reforming the fire equipment of the Wei Kingdom will be an important task for him in the future, but he is not in a hurry. He has to come back from Jiangnan anyway. .

When I returned home in the evening and entered the East Crossing Hospital, Liu Xianglian came to report.

"Have you taken care of all your family affairs?"

"I have reported back to the Marquis that everything has been taken care of, and I have troubled Brother Zhao and the others to give it to my subordinates here. A subordinate was arranged in the border mansion, and from now on, the subordinate will live in the mansion."

Liu Xianglian was originally handsome, but now she has lost her cynical and prodigal attitude and has changed her appearance. The simple and close-fitting clothing not only shows a bit of competence, but also makes him look more masculine and heroic.

Liu Xianglian consciously changed his appearance without his instructions. Jia Lian was naturally very satisfied. He nodded and said: "I heard from Baoyu and Lai Shangrong that you also have a property in Beijing. In fact, you also have a property in Beijing. There is no need to move to the mansion, just come here every day."

Liu Xianglian's family was poor, but it was also a poor family. It was said that there were two or three servants serving her family. When I moved to Dongkuaoyuan, I could only live in a row house for people to live in. Naturally, the conditions were not the same as having someone to serve me at home.

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Marquis, but I have neither elders nor wives and children at home, so I really have nothing to worry about. Why not move here and train with Brother Zhang and the others every day, which will not only improve your The relationship with the brothers can also be at the disposal of the Marquis at any time."

Liu Xianglian saw it very clearly.

Jia Lian not only held the two practical positions of being the commander of the Western Army and Horses Division and the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion, but he was also often entrusted with important tasks by the emperor and went out to the capital to handle affairs. It can be seen that the Holy Family is prosperous.

The most rare thing is that Jia Lian is still so young and has just been ennobled, so there is a vacancy around him.

Since he had this opportunity and was recruited by Jia Lian at this time, he would be really stupid if he could not seize the opportunity to gain Jia Lian's trust and reliance.

So, let alone his wandering around, even if you really have any concerns, you have to put them aside for the time being and focus on Jia Lian's side.

　"Very good, that being the case, I will not break the promise I made to you that day. From today on, you are the third deputy of my personal guard.just. Well, let's do this. The more than ten personal guards recruited from the Military and Horse Division will be under your control from now on.

If there is more, I won’t explain it to you. I will just say one thing. I, Jia Lian, will never treat my own people badly, let alone my brothers. So, don’t be afraid that you will have nothing to do with me in the future. I'm just afraid that you don't have the ability to do things well. Do you understand? ”

Jia Lian patted Liu Xianglian’s shoulder and found that he was a little taller than Liu Xianglian. Yes, his appearance was not as good as his, his height was a little different, and his figure was also weaker than his, status and so on. , not to mention, in this way, there is no need to worry too much about this subordinate stealing his limelight in the future.

How did Liu Xianglian know what his Lord Marquis was thinking now? He was so excited at this time, When Jia Lian's palm touched his shoulder, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said seriously: "I understand, from now on, thank you Lord Marquis for your support and cultivation! "

"Hehehe, get up. By the way, get ready. Tomorrow morning, I will hold a banquet in the hall here and invite Xue Pan. At that time, you and he will toast a few glasses of wine and apologize. From now on, your affairs with the Xue family will be settled. Forget it.

Do you have any objection to this matter? ”

Liu Xianglian naturally had no doubt about this and nodded in agreement.

So Jia Lian ordered people to go to Xue’s house to invite Xue Pan to a banquet tomorrow, and then Went to see Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng told him the news, saying that he had decided to invite the palace to invite the imperial concubine to go home to visit her relatives on August 15th this year, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. .

“August 15th? "

It is only the first month now, and there is still more than half a year before the Mid-Autumn Festival. In fact, Jia Lian wants to invite Yuanchun to go home to visit relatives as soon as possible, because in that way, Daiyu, Baochai and others can move in as soon as possible. Entering the Grand View Garden.

Without the Twelve Golden Hairpins of the Grand View Garden, it is incomplete.

However, when I think about the fact that the Grand View Garden has not yet been fully built and properly arranged, it must be fully prepared. , it will take at least two or three months.

Secondly, it really takes a good time to invite Yuanchun home. Counting this way, only the Mid-Autumn Festival is the best day.

It doesn’t matter, anyway, my trip back to Beijing will be at least in April or May. If I prepare for two or three months, I will be able to handle the grand event of Yuanchun Provincial Provincial Government with ease.
< br /> Therefore, he agreed with Jia Zheng’s decision.

So the uncle and nephew divided their work again. Jia Lian prepared his own affairs, while Jia Zheng also continued to prepare the garden and arranged to write a memorial to invite Yuanchun to return. Waiting at home.

On the second day, Liu Xianglian’s apology to Xue Pan went smoothly.

He is a mad man, a person who only drinks and talks about loyalty. With Jia Lian as a peacemaker, and Jia Lian also inviting Jia Baoyu and Lai Shangrong to testify, Liu Xianglian not only smiled and acted like a normal person after seriously toasting him with three glasses of wine, but also said that he was a good brother. , shouted at Liu Xianglian.

Even though Jia Baoyu didn’t really like Liu Xianglian’s “condescension” to serve as Jia Lian’s personal guard, he thought it would allow Liu Xianglian to stay in Jia’s house and he could see her often. He also became happy, so the apology drink ended successfully.

It is worth mentioning that Xue Pan also wrote a letter to Jia Lian with a thousand silver tattoo, saying that his second uncle died a year ago, and his aunt sent a letter to report that Aunt Xue was in poor health and was inconvenienced. When I go back, I can only send a letter home to express my condolences.

As for the silver offering, it is naturally a silver note. After Xue Pan asked Jia Lian to go to the south, he asked someone to exchange it for money and send it to his second uncle's house.

Although Baoqin's father's death had been expected for a long time, when he actually heard the news, Jia Lian couldn't help but sigh that the life span of people at that time was indeed too short.

Once you reach a certain age, a serious illness can easily kill you.

Sure enough, it is rare to live seventy years in ancient times. It is indeed rare to live as long as Jia Mu. Therefore, it is no wonder that people at that time had the saying of accumulating blessings, and called those whose lives were short-lived as unlucky people.

From this, Jia Lian became more determined to exercise every day, and practiced for an extra hour that night.

But unexpectedly, when he was about to go home and take a shower, he met a woman.

A somewhat pretty woman carrying a food box.

"Second Master Lian..."

On the roadside at dusk, a woman's voice pretending to be coquettish and frivolous greeted him, and Jia Lian looked up. .

It turned out to be Qingwen’s cousin-in-law, that is, the legendary wife with a lot of worms, a girl!

At first, Qingwen felt sorry for her cousins ​​and asked Jia Lian to take them to Rongguo Mansion for food. Because there were so many worms that could kill them, the couple helped in the big kitchen...

Speaking of which, these girls were a famous character in the original work.

With a bit of beauty and a libertine personality, she became very popular in the two houses of the Jia family, and almost all the men in the two houses were "promiscuous".

Not only did the romantic young master Jia Lian fall under her pomegranate skirt, but even the clean and white young master Jia Baoyu of the troubled world was pressed on the kang and ate a lot of tofu...

It can be said that she is the most romantic woman in the Red Chamber.

Although this woman is considered destined to be with him, Jia Lian shouldRan had no interest in her, so he nodded casually and walked forward.

Seeing Jia Lian ignoring her, the girl seemed a little annoyed. She stamped her feet and saw Jia Lian about to walk over. At this time, she saw Jia Lian's handsome figure and the bulging muscles on her bare arms up close. , and the faint hot breath coming from Jia Lian's body in the cold wind made her lustful.

Immediately took the idea into consideration, pretended to fall, and fell on Jia Lian.

Jia Lian never expected that this woman would dare to do this. Firstly, she was still carrying something in her hand, and secondly, because she was a relative of Qingwen, he did not give her a kick immediately, so he let her Given the opportunity, the moment he fell towards him, a pair of hands began to wipe his body.

"Do you think your life is too comfortable?"

With a cold voice, Yin Yin rushed to Jia Lian and faced Jia Lian's charming "manly sweat" aura. Unable to extricate herself, Duo girl shuddered all over.

Timidly let go of Jia Lian, raised his head and glanced at Jia Lian, and said sarcastically: "What do you mean by Master Lian's words? The slave family is just grateful to the second master for taking him in and wants to repay the second master. ..."

As he said that, seeing that Jia Lian was unmoved, he felt aggrieved again, "Although I'm not as naturally beautiful as my sister-in-law, I'm not ugly at all. Why is the second master so incomprehensible about style?"< br />
Originally, she dared to take the initiative to hook up with Jia Lian because Qingwen was favored by Jia Lian and knew that Jia Lian was a kind person to his servants.

In fact, since they entered Rongguo Mansion, thanks to Qingwen’s relationship, the couple has lived a comfortable life in Rongguo Mansion.

Because of this, she has been looking for a lot of guests that she can appreciate... Of course, those who can give her benefits, and those who are a little dissatisfied are okay.

As for Jia Lian, she didn’t dare to covet him at first.

It’s just that I happened to encounter it today, so I couldn’t help it. Because judging from her countless experiences with men, there is no man who does not cheat, and she has never thought about climbing on Jia Lian's high branch, and she has never thought about seeking any benefits from Jia Lian, she just simply wants to After having a romantic relationship with Jia Lian, she felt that there should be some opportunities.

Seeing Jia Lian condescendingly looking at her as if he were a dead person, she felt fear and regret. Her body, which was originally thin and weak compared to ordinary women, shrank back more and more.

When Jia Lian saw her like this, he softened his expression a little.

"First of all, I am not interested in you, let alone a woman who can do anything for you. Do you want me to make it clearer?"

Faced with Jia Lian's still cold and stiff attitude, Duo girls could only respond in conversation.

　"Secondly, when I took you and your wife in, it was only because Qingwen begged me so hard that for her sake, I allowed you to enter the house and receive a share of the public meal.

You have been in the mansion for a short time, so you should know the rules of the mansion. If you want to live well, you have to abide by the rules. Next time..."

"No, I don’t dare. , I don’t dare to do it anymore, please spare my life...”

Sex makes you stupid, and it does the same to women.

Before, lust filled my heart and I lost all care. Now I was scolded by Jia Lian and I remembered the consequences.

Not to mention that Jia Lian was out to kill the general. In his eyes, killing a person should be a very simple matter. Let’s just say that if Mistress Lian knew about this, she would not be able to bear the consequences. Walk.

So he knelt down and begged, not daring to make Jia Lian really angry.

“Go down.”

“Yes, thank you Lord Marquis for your forgiveness...”

Looking at this, she is even more seductive and vulgar than Aunt Zhao. The woman shook her butt and left, before Jia Lian turned around and shook her head.

He has always been relatively tolerant towards women, and this woman was one of Qingwen’s only two relatives in this world, so Jia Lian let her go so easily.

But on second thought, I don’t blame this woman for being bold. Perhaps his charm is really too strong for such an experienced woman to be able to control him.

More importantly, he remembered that in the original work, Jia Lian took the initiative to seduce this woman, and even spent money! But now, when this woman saw him, she couldn't wait to pounce on him. It can be seen that his charm is not just given to him by this handsome body.

What’s more important is that his temperament is so charming!

Thinking of this, Jia Lian still disliked being touched by the woman, so he wiped it with his sleeves and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, when I raised my head, I met a pair of beautiful and gentle eyes through the lattice window on the front wall.

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then walked over.

It turns out that Sister Feng’s Children’s Courtyard and Li Wan’s Courtyard are both behind Madame Wang’s Courtyard, but Li Wan’s Courtyard is directly opposite Madam Wang’s Courtyard, while Sister Feng’s Children’s Courtyard is a little to the west.

The East Crossing Courtyard is in the east, so every time Jia Lian goes home, he will pass by Li Wanyuan. Sometimes, in order to take a shortcut, Jia Lian even enters Fengjie Courtyard directly from behind Li Wan Courtyard through the trail.

Therefore, there is really nothing surprising about Li Wan here.

When I got closer, I saw Li Wan still holding scissors in her hand, and knew that she was pruning flowers in her small yard.Did you see the scene just now?

"My sister-in-law is in a good mood. Well, this pot of spring begonias looks really good. It shows that my sister-in-law takes good care of it."

Li Wan originally consciously kept himself hidden. After just staying there for so long and watching the show, she suddenly realized that Jia Lian had seen him and was walking towards her. She subconsciously wanted to run away.

But then I thought about it, I was trimming flowers with scissors in my hand, what were I afraid of?

Moreover, Jia Lian was outside the wall and he was inside the courtyard. There was a wall in between, so it didn't matter.

So he calmed himself down and responded to Jia Lian's words.

I feel a little regretful because I was reckless today. Usually she would just sit in the house and look through the window from afar. Today, she hadn't seen Jia Lian passing by for a long time, so she couldn't help but go out and trim the flowers.

Second uncle, he shouldn’t misunderstand...

That slutty wife is so shameless! She had heard from servants before that she still didn't believe that she was such a lustful woman. Fortunately, Uncle Lian was not such a casual person.

Thinking of what he had seen before, Li Wan couldn't help but feel angry. He was angry that the toad wanted to eat the swan meat.

But when he thought of Jia Lian's decisive rejection of the other party's temptation, Li Wan was secretly happy. God knows how nervous and worried Jia Lian was when that shameless prostitute jumped on her.

"What are you thinking, sister-in-law?"

Jia Lian is so generous. Just looking at Li Wan, who is wearing a moon-white dress and looks beautiful and elegant, she feels that she is in a good mood. Pleasure.

And he knew that his glorious image of being unmoved by women was seen by Li Wan, so he felt even more refreshed. It's like, if no one knows about doing good deeds, it always feels like a hidden gem, but if you do good deeds, you happen to be seen by someone, and that person happens to be the school beauty.

Only those who have experienced this feeling will understand.

So Jia Lian stood unceremoniously outside the courtyard wall, talking to Li Wan through the wall and watching Li Wan's reaction.

Seeing her sneaky expression, she asked directly. He felt that his image in Li Wan's heart must be tall and majestic.

Li Wan knew that she should take the initiative to avoid him at this time, but seeing Jia Lian's openness, she felt embarrassed to run away.

So he lowered his head, and after a while he quietly replied: "Second uncle is in the house, often, often surrounded by girls and wives, so..."

Oh my god, what are you asking?

Jia Lian’s eyes lit up and he said with a smile: “What did sister-in-law say? Oh,It refers to the incident just now...

It’s not often, but every now and then, I always encounter some.

If it’s a good-looking one, I’ll teach you a lesson. If it’s an ugly one like the one just now, like what my sister-in-law saw, I’ll teach you a lesson and warn you next time.

Sister-in-law, do you think what I did is right? ”

Li Wan’s face turned red and he couldn’t help but turn away.

She didn’t even know why she asked that question. When she saw that kind of thing, she was shocked. You should have not seen it.

The second uncle felt the same way. He didn’t know that he asked the wrong question, but he still answered seriously.

Moreover, although Jia Lian’s tone was calm, There was no frivolous intention, but his words always gave her a strange feeling... It seemed like teasing?

It didn't quite look like it! As the daughter of Jijiu, she was also from the Rongguo Mansion. The eldest mistress, no one has ever dared to tease her, so she can’t judge very well.

“Well, that woman doesn’t look ugly to me...”

This was Li Wan's inner thought, and he murmured it unconsciously. Who would have thought that Jia Lian still heard her even if she whispered so quietly.

"Ugly or not, it all depends on who you compare yourself to. If compared with my sister-in-law...Suyun and Biyue beside me, they are far behind. ”

Jia Lian just said casually that Suyun and Biyue were not very outstanding beauties, but they were pretty good among the maids.

In addition to being young and pure, her appearance was The value is probably similar to that of many girls.

But if there are many girls compared to Li Wan, then it is naturally far behind.

Jia Lian actually did not expect that , Li Wan would take the initiative to bring up the topic of many girls, but he was happy to continue.

Without saying anything else, just looking at Li Wan who was usually simple and stoic, showing a shy posture, It’s a rare sight.

Jia Lian wanted to see more of this kind of sight, but he still made a mistake and didn’t get the scale right.

What is Li Wan? We were both ladies, and the two of them had talked normally before. Even if some of the words did not suit each other's identities, she could regard them as saying something wrong for a moment.

But if she couldn't hear the meaning of Jia Lian's words anymore, She felt that Jia Lian should have doubted her IQ.

So she trembled as if bitten by a snake, and glanced at Jia Lian with a pretense of frowning.
/>
Everyone says that early spring is cold, but Jia Lian only wears a thin middle coat and a strong coat...

Jia Lian lowered his head and glanced at himself, then saw Li Wan's expression of wanting to see but not daring to look. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you invite me in to sit down? I haven't seen Lan'er for a long time. I miss him so much." "

"No, no, Lan'er is reviewing her lessons! My second uncle has just practiced boxing, so it's better to go back and take a bath and rest first..."

Li Wan After saying this, he bowed and bowed, not daring to look at Jia Lian, turned around and left.
