The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the broad long street, and everyone in the Jia family knew that Jia Lian had returned home.

Sister Feng met Jia Lian in front of the moon cave door between the main courtyard and the east cross courtyard. She slowed down her pace, looked at Jia Lian who walked directly in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Don't you say you are busy? , why are you back so suddenly?"

"I have some temporary arrangements."

Jia Lian responded casually, looked at his lovely wife's bright face, stretched out his hand and touched the side of her face. A strand of green silk was tucked behind her ears and caressed her face, feeling its smooth and warm touch.

"What are you doing, so many people are watching."

Sister Feng opened Jia Lian's hand and said angrily.

Jia Lian snorted softly, and instead went the extra mile to hold her in his arms with one arm. Completely ignoring the eyes around her, he said in Sister Feng's ear: "I'll go see the old lady first. Are you ready?" Good food and bath water, wait for me at home."

After saying that, he kissed her forehead gently, then glanced at the pouting Qingwen behind her, and strode away.

Looking at Jia Lian's handsome back, Sister Feng almost stamped her feet angrily, secretly scolding Jia Lian for being less self-respecting and being intimate with her in public. But she herself had to admit that the feeling of being pampered by her husband in public was really quite satisfying.

Then he calmed down and turned to look at Sister Aqi and Aqin who were holding Jia Lian's old clothes. Sister Feng said lightly: "I have followed your Lord Marquis out these days. Thank you for your hard work. Give them the things. You go down and have a good rest first. I will give you another reward later."

"Yes. Thank you, Second Grandma."

Rongqing Hall.

Jia Mu’s eyes were drooped, looking at Jia Lian who was standing like a green pine tree below, and said displeasedly: "Are you in such a hurry to return to Beijing just because of the Xue family's affairs? I said Brother Lian is so warm-hearted. It's a good thing, but don't forget the stakes on your shoulders.

It's Xue Pan's fault for not cultivating himself and causing disasters. Can you be guilty of risking yourself for him? What if you get into trouble? Unnecessary trouble will damage your future and defeat your ambition to glorify your ancestors?"

"The old lady misunderstood. My grandson's return to Beijing this time is not for the Xue family's affairs, but for the sake of There are other arrangements.

Of course, the grandson has also heard about Xue Pan, and Aunt Xue personally begged for her grandson. Since she thinks highly of her grandson and is a relative, if My grandson will naturally help as much as he can."

Jia Mu snorted. Unlike Sister Feng, she paid attention to everything Jia Lian did outside, so she couldn't tell whether what Jia Lian said was true or false. She could only say: "I know you have always been the most decisive, and you will never tell the difference again."Not clear about the stakes. In this case, I have nothing to say, you just have to figure it out yourself. ”

　“Yes. The grandson has just returned to Beijing. If the ancestor had no other instructions, the grandson would have resigned first? "

" "Go, go." ”

When Jia Lian left, Jia Mu sighed deeply.

To be honest, Jia Mu did not expect that Jia Lian would return to Beijing at this time. It’s not that she didn’t know Aunt Xue went to Tianjin Wei, but according to her, Jia Lian is not a soft-hearted person who easily listens to the "good advice" of his elders. Otherwise, this grandson would not have been so angry with her ancestor in recent years. !

Calculating the time, I am afraid that as soon as Mr. Xue arrived at Tianjin Wei, he would have persuaded Jia Lian, so that he could return to Beijing so quickly. It seems that Mr. Xue really cannot be underestimated!< br />
But that’s it, no matter what method she uses to persuade this stubborn donkey. At least it shows that this stubborn donkey is not inexperienced. As long as the method is right, he is still willing to listen to the words of his elders.

Thinking of this, Jia Mu glanced at Yuanyang, who was chasing Jia Lian's back with her eyes, and suddenly said: "Yuanyang girl, you can blame me for keeping you by my side and not giving you to Lian earlier. Brother, is it difficult for you to even see him now? "

Yuanyang didn't expect Jia Mu to say that. She didn't know what she meant for a while, so she quickly said: "No, no." It is the slave's good fortune and blessing to be able to follow and serve the old lady. How can there be any reason to blame the old lady? "

In just one sentence, she seemed to have some clues. With a turn of her eyes, she knelt down in front of Jia Mu and said, "How could the old lady treat me so well over the years? How can I not know?

Although I am just a girl, I still know what is good and what is bad. Let's not talk about the old lady's kindness to me again, let's talk about it now. Is it possible that Yuanyang is so confused that he doesn't understand the old lady's painstaking efforts?

The old lady intentionally gave the mandarin duck to Mr. Lian out of pity and care for me. But how can Yuanyang not know that I am also in the old lady's house, and the old lady does not despise me and treats me as a person. If I leave the old lady, Yuanyang will be nothing.

Even when she was in Mr. Lian’s house, she was just a rough girl. If Mr. Lian and Mrs. Lian take pity on me, it will be easier for me. If not, I will be nothing more than a rootless duckweed. How can I feel at ease in the old lady's house?

Besides, the old lady’s lifelong cultivation and knowledge, Yuanyang can only learn a little bit, which is enough to be used for a lifetime. So now the old lady wants to drive me away, but Yuanyang is determined not to do so. This is what Yuanyang said from the bottom of his heart. If there is any falsehood, Yuanyang will be taught to suffer the consequences. From now on, he will be lonely and helpless, and no one will love him for the rest of his life. ”

Since everyone in Rongqing Hall knew that Jia’s mother intended to give her to Jia Lian, Jia LianHer mother no longer tried to hide her secrets, but taught her some tips on how to survive in the inner house from time to time, which Yuanyang was very grateful for.

Actually, she didn’t lie. Yuanyang herself also understood that even if she followed Jia Lian now, it would be difficult for her to stand out among the monsters in Sister Feng's Courtyard. At best, she could only be a foil.

She is unique only when she stays with Jia Mu, and everyone in the house respects her. Only in this position, even Jia Lian would pay special attention to her.

Therefore, she was really in no hurry to leave Jia Mu, and she also knew that Jia Mu had no intention of letting her go for the time being.

Jia’s mother was very satisfied with Yuanyang’s statement. She smiled and said, “If you think so, it’s really worth all my hard work.

Speaking of which, you followed. After all these years, I originally planned to promise you to Baoyu, which could be regarded as giving you a home. It was only later that I accidentally heard the girls making fun of you, and I realized that you, little girl, actually fell in love with that boy Lian'er, so I changed my mind. I have an idea.

You are right. There are many girls in Lian'er's house who are prettier than yours. If I let you go now, you really won't have any advantage. It's better to follow my old lady and learn some ways to settle down and make a living."

Since Jia Mu intends to cultivate Yuanyang, she naturally hopes that Yuanyang will be loyal enough, so that it will be worthy of her investment.

And Yuanyang heard that Jia Mu said that she changed her mind because she knew in advance that she liked Jia Lian, and she was very grateful. After all, not every master can take care of his slave's wishes.

……

Sister Feng’s Children’s Courtyard, the bath behind the flower hall.

Jia Lian was soaking naked in the pool water. The warm pool water wrapped all the skin below his shoulders, which seemed to be able to dissipate all the fatigue from his body.

"Go down."

Qingwen took the clothes from the little maid, kicked her out of the bathroom without politeness, and then put the clothes on the carved pear wood On the shelf, he walked to the edge of the pool, knelt down like Xiang Ling, and squeezed Jia Lian's other shoulder.

After a long time, she saw that Jia Lian didn’t speak, but she couldn’t help it. She asked with a smile: "How long will the second master stay home this time? It won’t be like last time. He only stayed for two days and then returned." Have you gone to Tianjin Wei?"

After asking, she was not discouraged when she saw that Jia Lian just closed his eyes and enjoyed himself and ignored her, and then asked: "Why did the second master come back this time? Could it be that it is really the second grandma? As you said, beating people to death for the sake of the Xue family uncle?"

"I would say that this Xue family uncle really deserves it. I heard that before he came to Beijing, he had beaten people to death. It's just that the other party is powerless, so let's leave it alone. Now it's better, he is also a son of an official family, and the officialThe son is still not low, now the Xue family has no choice.

When my predecessor, Aunt Xue, came into the house, she cried so sadly. "

" "Talk too much." "

Jia Lian scolded lightly, but actually he was thinking in his heart. The story of Xue Pan beating someone to death last time was widely spread. At least everyone in the Jia family knew about it, but they didn't know how to restrain themselves. , It is simply harming others and harming oneself, it is not a pity to die!

Qingwen squeezed her hands a few times and felt tired, she said lazily: "Second Master comes back this time, do you want to save Uncle Xue? I feel like if the second master doesn’t save him, he will be dead! "

The chattering girl kept interrupting Jia Lian's thoughts. Jia Lian finally replied: "Oh, do you think I can save him? "

"Of course it can, as long as the second master wants to save the people, it will not be easy to die! "

"Haha, you are a flatterer. "

Jia Lian was also amused by Qingwen. He turned his head and looked at the extremely beautiful appearance of this girl and said with a smile: "Instead of having the time to care about others, you should care more about yourself. Come on, lower your head and open your mouth, let me see if you have disobeyed me and secretly eaten sweets during these days when I was away from home. "

Qingwen was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she still bowed her head and opened her mouth obediently, letting Jia Lian stretch out his hand to check.

"Not bad, fresh lips and tender tongue, Hao The teeth are fresh. "After Jia Lian carefully inspected it, he nodded with satisfaction.

Both Qingwen and Xiangling have been raised by him since they were eleven or twelve years old. They are absolutely rare treasures for him. Naturally, You must always cherish it to avoid unnecessary flaws.

Then he looked at Xiangling, and Xiangling opened her mouth consciously. After finding that both maids were obedient, Jia Lian happily rewarded them with a kiss. Then she got up and dressed, and returned to the main room.

Sister Feng had been waiting for Jia Lian to speak. After finishing her clothes, she hurriedly walked to the west room and sat on the kang, enjoying the back and shoulders of the two maids. Jia Lian said: "I heard that my aunt went to Tianjin Wei to look for you. Why are you the only one coming back? Where is my aunt?" ”

“My aunt is too tired from the traffic, so I take the first step. ”

　“Oh. "

Sister Feng came over and sat next to Jia Lian, stared at Jia Lian for a few times, and said with a smile: "So, you were really invited back by your aunt? "

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't speak, Sister Feng asked curiously: "Are you really ready to personally intervene in Uncle Xue's case? This matter is not easy to handle, the Ministry of Punishment has intervened, and I heard that there is also Prince Zhongshun's Mansion! "

Jia Lian glanced at her and said, "Why, didn't you write to me repeatedly in the past few days, asking me if there was any way to save Fool Xue, and now you don't want me to intervene? ”

Sister Feng hummed: "If you can help, I naturally hope you will. After all, he is my aunt's only son. If you can save his life, it will naturally be good. But I don't want you to do it knowing you can't do it. ...Do you understand what I mean?"

Jia Lian smiled slightly, held Sister Feng in his arms, and played with her like a beloved object, making Sister Feng very uncomfortable.

When Sister Feng saw that Jia Lian was silent, she didn't ask any more questions. She just lay quietly in Jia Lian's arms, enjoying the rare love.

But Jia Lian’s hands were very dishonest and he touched her body again after a while. She hadn’t seen Jia Lian for more than half a month, so she soon became a little restless.

She raised her head and looked at Jia Lian with confusion, "You..."

Jia Lian also glanced at her, suddenly remembered something, and took out his Western watch from his arms. When he saw it, he immediately let go of Sister Feng and said, "Okay, it's almost time. I have to go out. I have some things to do."

Seeing that Jia Lian actually stood up and straightened himself out in the mirror. After taking off his clothes, he lifted his legs and left.

Sister Feng was so angry that she sat by the kang and sulked. The two maids behind her saw this and were about to quietly get off the bed and run away, but unfortunately they were caught by Sister Feng's eyes.

"What are you two doing? Give me a thumbs up! If you, the second master, can't do anything about you, I can't do anything about you."

Qing Wenxiang Ling then didn't dare to move rashly, but Qingwen changed her expression, stretched out her hands to pat Sister Feng's back with a smile, and said: "Look at what Second Grandma said, being able to give orders to Second Grandma is something we can only hope for."

　"Oh, really? From now on, just follow me like Ping'er."

　"Uh, this, okay, okay..."
