Wang Xifeng was right. Jia Lian did come to the study.

As for Wang Xifeng, there is really nothing to say about her beauty. She is just too strong in personality and too jealous. In this era, few men should be able to control her.

Obviously, the predecessor was particularly unable to control it.

We have only been married for two years and are still in the sweet period. What will happen in the future?

So, Wang Xifeng is both smart and not very smart. In this era, when couples don't get along, the woman is the one who ends up being pitiful.

It’s no wonder that as one of the Twelve True Beauties, the most colorful woman in the Red Mansion, her ending was that “the agency was too clever, and it cost Qing Qing her life.”

As far as Jia Lian is concerned, he either doesn’t want this woman Wang Xifeng, or he needs to take good care of her and contain her temper. Otherwise, she will definitely be a huge stumbling block in his future work and life. Make some trouble and come out.

But having said that, the woman’s shoulders are really not bad, she is slim and plump...

Sitting on the simple cool bed in the study, Jia Lian shook his head Shake his head.

After all, she is just a woman. How to deal with it will be discussed later. For now, the most important thing is to think about how to change the current situation.

The first thing is reputation. If you can save it, try your best to save it. He doesn’t want to really become a street rat.

Secondly, of course, it is to improve one's strength and status as soon as possible.

This is the feudal era. Without respect for human rights, without strength and status, you can only live as a fish and a fish for others, living without dignity.

What's more, the Jia family will be in danger of being destroyed in the future. He doesn't want to think that at that time, he will be unable to do anything.

Thinking about what his predecessor left behind for him, apart from the identity of the young master of the Duke’s Mansion, he only had the title of Tongzhi of the state. He was a bought official. He had no real job at all and could not earn a job for his wife. return.

The huge Jia clan has many women with imperial titles, including four in Ningrong and Rongfu alone. But Wang Xifeng, a prominent figure in the two houses, was not there. Perhaps this was the reason why the ladies were so presumptuous in front of him.

It can be said that he now has no official title, and even his status in the family seems a bit embarrassing.

Can it not be embarrassing?

Even his own old man was pushed aside to cool down. How can he be dignified when he is beaten and insulted by the old man every now and then?

I still came here to help my second uncle with the housekeeping. I controlled the lifeblood of ordinary slaves, so I gained some prestige, prestige in the slave world.

Taking a deep breath, Jia Lian felt the difficulty.

In fact, in any era, without special opportunities, it is difficult to get ahead and establish a career.

This is also the main reason why wealthy young men like Jia Lian choose to live in peace and prosperity. It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I don't know how to do it.

Although he has the memory of two lives, his knowledge and vision are more advanced, but if he really wants to immediately dive out of the abyss and fly into the sky, he still can't do it, and there is no sure way to do it. Plan, everything has to be planned slowly.

If you were to be a copycat like those who traveled through the ages, you would gain fame by capturing the attention of powerful people.

Let’s not talk about how shameful it is, let’s just say that the memories left to him by this guy he traveled through time are mostly about how to play with women!

When it comes to academics, he is a scumbag who entered the Imperial College through the back door and was unable to graduate normally. He can be said to be a complete waste snack.

How can such a person, suddenly possessed by Wenquxing, create masterpieces that will be handed down for generations without arousing suspicion from others?

And he himself knows nothing about the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight Parts, and has no real talent or knowledge. Once he answers questions on the spot, his secret will be revealed.

In contrast, it is better to rely on the power of the family honestly, find another reliable official position, concentrate on business, and take the route of official career and economy.

Just like the winner in life, Baoyu’s father Jia Zheng.

By the way, the economy...

Jia Lian suddenly jumped off the kang, came to the back of the largest bookshelf, and pulled out the hidden compartment, and suddenly there were streaks of yellow and white. The light shines through.

Here is all his private money!

My predecessor was accustomed to being rich, so I spent money lavishly, and my finances were restricted by the person in my family. It was not easy to have such a balance.

I counted it carefully and found that it added up to more than two hundred taels of silver.

According to what Grandma Liu said in the original work, twenty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to live for one year, so this small drawer of gold and silver is enough for an ordinary family to live for ten years!

But soon the joy in Jia Lian's heart dissipated.

He thought that with his wealth, he could not even match the maid in the protagonist Jia Baoyu's room.

In the original work, when Qingwen died, the inheritance left behind was three to four hundred gold, that is, three to four hundred taels of silver.

In such a comparison, the dignified Second Master Lian is really too shabby.

Perhaps, you have to think of ways to get money, otherwise, it will be difficult to do things without money.ah.

The family does have money, but it is all in the hands of Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng will make trouble with him even if it is short of money, and he will be embarrassed to take advantage of the family's money.

After all, most of the money in Wang Xifeng’s hands was the dowry she brought from her natal family, and the rest was “saved” by her hard work in the past two years with the help of the housekeeper. ……

“Bang bang~”

There was a knock at the door. Jia Lian hurriedly grabbed a handful of silver from the drawer and put it into his purse, then reset the drawer. , withdrew.

“Come in.”

It was the boy Zhaoer who brought him food.

Generally speaking, after the meal is cooked in the kitchen, the meal will be delivered to the master's house.

Being kicked out by Wang Xifeng, he naturally would not go back to eat, and he did not want to starve himself, so he ordered his servant to go get the meal in advance.

As the Rongguo Mansion is a Duke's Mansion, it does not have the virtue of strict economy. The food is always rich, and the cooks at home are also good at cooking, so Jia Lian had a good meal.

Zhaoer was cleaning up the leftovers and was surprised to see his second master actually take a book from the bookshelf to read.

How much grievance and blow did the second master have to suffer before he could give up on himself and waste time with these things?

Same, first he was beaten up by the elder, and now he was kicked out of the house by Mistress Lian...

Because he put down the food box, came close to Jia Lian, and whispered He said: "Master, do you want me to ask someone to accompany me to relieve my boredom?"

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and said funny: "Aren't you afraid that your second mistress will find out and skin you?"

There are hundreds of maids and daughters-in-law in the two houses of the Jia family, and there are always some who are easy to get hold of. In this regard, Jia Lian has the memory of his predecessor, so he has a clear family.

"As long as I am happy, my slaves are not afraid of life and death."

Even though he said this, there was still hesitation in Zhao'er's eyes. In the past two years, Mistress Lian's prowess has become famous among the slaves in both houses.

But the words had been spoken, but one could not lose his loyalty, so he said again: "If not, shall I call that boy Fushun to serve you?"

"Fushun ?”

“He is the youngest son of Uncle Long. Although Uncle Long does not look very good, Fushun is very handsome and elegant. He is fifteen this year and is ranked in the second door. , look at him like that, no one should have taken advantage of him, so I will..."

Zhao'er is still trying his best to sell, his charming look is undisguised, butWhen his vision went dark, a copy of "The Code of the Wei Dynasty" hit him directly on the head. He trembled with fright and hurriedly knelt down while looking at Jia Lian in confusion.

Jia Lian was angry and angry, and at the same time secretly afraid.

As someone who has read famous books, he naturally understands what Zhaoer means. At the same time, he also understood that people in this era mostly regarded Long Yang's incident as a relic of the ancient times. It was an elegant thing and not something to be ashamed of.

The stubborn Jia Lian is probably tired of playing with women and wants to change his tricks.

Fortunately, this high-quality rabbit is even rarer than that beauty, and with the control of the tigress at home, I didn’t try it... I carefully searched the memory and determined that he has not succeeded so far. , and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he came a few years earlier. If he had waited until Sister Qiao got acne before he traveled through time, the end would have been settled by then. How should he face this broken body?

　“Get out of here, I am.”

I am full of depression and have nowhere to express my feelings, so my temper naturally becomes bad.

As if Zhaoer had been granted amnesty, she quickly picked up the food box and exited the door, feeling extremely aggrieved at the same time.

What’s wrong with the Second Master? Didn’t you say that when you came back from the Marquis of Xiangyang last time, there were two handsome young actors in his family who were very greedy in their words? Didn’t this slave help you pay attention? Now why are you beating me instead of asking for favors?

Alas, the second master probably suffered too many blows today, so he is moody. It is best not to offend him.

After closing the door and about to leave, I heard a voice coming from inside: "Wait a minute at the door!"

Huh? Second Master has figured it out again?

After waiting for a while, Jia Lian came out and handed him a heavy package.

"Do you know where your sister Hexiang lives?"

"Um, I know..."

"There are two hundred silver in it, you Send it over and hand it over to your sister He Xiang personally."

Zhao'er opened his mouth, he still didn't know about He Xiang being kicked out by Wang Xifeng.

What did he want to ask, but seeing that Jia Lian looked bad, he didn't dare, and just said: "Other than sending money, the second master has nothing to say?"

Jia Lian shook his head.

What can you say? He was just trying his best to make up for the problems left by his predecessor.

Shaking his head, Jia Lian turned around and entered the room, picking up the books on the ground.

First, be familiar with contemporary politics and laws. If nothing else, let’s be a qualified contemporary person first.

　……

At night, Wang Xifeng came home from work and asked the maid: "The second master has not come back?"

"No."

Wang Xifeng sat down angrily Sulking on the kang.

Ping'er said: "Wang's wife said that the second master has been staying in the study and has not gone anywhere. I heard that he is studying..."

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes. : Do you believe this?

Ping'er didn't know what to say and was silent for a while: "Are you going to invite the second master back? If the wife or the old lady asks you later, it won't be easy to reply."

In the two years since they got married, although the second master and his second grandma have had disagreements from time to time, in the past, when the second master was annoyed, he would go to Hexiang and his wife's room to sleep. This is the first time that he has left home to sleep in the study without any reason. .

"If I don't go, what am I afraid of? He did something shameful, and he is angry, and he wants me to kowtow to him to apologize?

Who is he? , even if he goes to the old lady, he has no face, why should I take care of it for him?

If he is willing to sleep in the study, let him sleep all the time."

Ping'er had no choice but to say: "Someone has to send some quilts to the second master. Although it is hot, it will be cold at night. It will be bad if you catch a cold..."

"I don't care whether he lives or lives."

While talking, someone outside said: "Second Master Bao and the girls are here..."

It turned out to be several members of the family The sisters and Jia Baoyu came to visit together when they heard that Jia Lian had been beaten.

These people are the treasures of the family, and Wang Xifeng did not dare to be disrespectful, and hurriedly got up to greet them.

When asked about Jia Lian, he only said that it was a small injury and it would not be a problem. Now he was delayed by something outside.

Jia Baoyu and others were originally paying filial piety as a routine, so they didn’t care too much when they heard that Jia Lian was fine. They had a cup of tea here and were escorted by the wet nurse and maids. Went back next time.
