Chapter 157 The situation of Li Wan and his mother

"I heard that my former son Lan'er was ill. Is he feeling better now?"

It was boring to work with Li Wan, so Jia Lian decided to He asked.

Hearing Jia Lian speak, Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, walked three or four steps away from Jia Lian, and replied: "Thank you for your concern, uncle, he didn't What's the matter? I just caught a little cold by chance. After taking medicine, I was almost better.

Thanks to the second uncle who opened a door here, it is now convenient for him to kneel down with the elder. If it’s more, we can’t walk far back and forth, so it won’t be a big deal.”

When Jia Lian heard this, he nodded secretly.

Li Wan originally lived on the east road of Rongguo Mansion. He used to go to kowtow to Jia She, but he wanted to go west, go out of the west corner gate, and then go east to the east cross courtyard.

Now that the door here is open, the most convenient people are Li Wan and his son.

Going from here, the distance is shortened by more than three times.

Seeing Li Wan walking side by side with him, he was embarrassed to tilt his head to look at him, so he casually smiled and said, "It's okay if everything is alright.

I just listened. The grandfather in the school said that with so many children in our family, no one can compare to Lan'er in terms of reading and learning.

Looking at it from this point of view, in the future, the mantle of the master will be held by Lan'er. Only then can we inherit it. In this way, my eldest sister-in-law is the biggest contributor to our family."

Li Wan's face turned red when he heard this. If he hadn't known that Jia Lian was not a mean person, he would have thought so. Jia Lian was mocking her.

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, apart from serving her parents-in-law and raising her son, she only has one errand every day, which is to take care of the sisters-in-law at home. The housekeeper's affairs have nothing to do with her.

As the only great-grandson of Rongguo Mansion, her Lan'er was not favored by the elders in the family at all.

If not, why should she place all her hope on her son to be self-reliant and desperately urge him to study and make progress so that he can have a bright future in the future?

She knew that with Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu in the Rongguo Mansion, it would never be her Laner's turn to share it.

So, while forcing her young son to study, she also tried her best to save money for him. She didn’t spend any money that shouldn’t be spent. Wang Xifeng even laughed at her for this. She doesn't care about being "stingy" either.

Knowing the pain in his heart, Li Wan just said: "Thank you very much to his second uncle for his kind words. But I just hope that he can grow up healthy and safe. As for inheriting the mantle of the master, , I don’t have extravagant hopes. If nothing else, gems are better thanHe is much smarter. Both the master and his wife are placing their hopes on Baoyu..."

Jia Lian turned his head and glanced at her. Seeing an indescribable loneliness on her face, he smiled and said : "Sister-in-law, do you think I'm joking with you? If you don't believe it, I can bet you that within ten years at most, Lan'er will definitely be successful, and by then she will definitely be able to bring back a name to our Jia family.

By then, I’m afraid it won’t be difficult for him to fight for his sister-in-law’s life and come back. "

"This..."

Li Wan was shocked. She stopped and looked at Jia Lian.

If others said this That's all, she just smiled and treated it as a compliment.

But when Jia Lian said this, she couldn't help but think about it.

Who is Jia Lian? ? In just two or three years, he transformed from a playboy to a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, holding the chief seal of a government office, and is now a man of infinite fame!

If there is nothing strange about Jia Lian , Li Wan didn’t believe it.

Now, Jia Lian actually said this. Could it be that he had some evidence?

Could it be that Lan’er really had the appearance of wealth, and then was Did Jia Lian see it?

This is no wonder Li Wan doesn’t care. Her biggest vision is that in the future, Jia Lan can study and gain fame, and then enter the court as an official. This is the only way for Jia Lan to gain a great future. This opportunity is also her only opportunity.

After all, Jia Lan is not Jia Zheng. Even if he doesn’t succeed in reading, there is still a legacy written by the old man before his death, so he can be proud of it. Entering the Sixth Department of the Imperial Court as an official...

If Jia Lan can't get ahead in school, she will be a commoner in the future, and she will also transform from the eldest mistress of Rongguo Mansion into a common woman.
< br /> Jia Lian’s words easily hit the point that Li Wan cared about most.

“Are you serious about what your second uncle said? Lan'er, can you really pass the exam? "Li Wan raised his hand a little rudely. If Jia Lian hadn't been her uncle, she would have grabbed his arm and asked.

To select a scholar through the imperial examination is like passing thousands of troops. Single-plank bridge, until it succeeds, no one dares to say that he will succeed!

Seeing Li Wan’s huge reaction, Jia Lian once again knew that people in this era had little belief in becoming an official through the imperial examination. How high.

Without any intention of dragging Li Wan down, Jia Lian nodded.

Then he thought of Li Wan’s verdict: “With great power, great honors and high rank. It's dark and miserable, and the road to hell is near. ”

Obviously Li Wan did not live long, after surviving so many years, it was so easy to bring up a son, but it was too late to enjoy the blessings, which is really sad.

Then he advised: "So, sister-in-law, you should take good care of yourself. In the future, you will have countless blessings to enjoy."

Li Wan Regardless of the last sentence, seeing Jia Lian so determined, I couldn't help but feel great confidence in my heart.

I said in my heart that after I go back, I must give Lan'er more homework!

Poor little Jia Lan, if he knew that his miserable and inhumane life for so many years was all caused by Jia Lian's few words, he would probably not be able to help but feel revenge.

……

Before entering Rongqing Hall, Li Wan deliberately kept a distance from Jia Lian and did not go in with Jia Lian.

But it was obvious that she was overly worried. No one in Rongqing Hall paid attention to her. When Jia Lian came out, they fixed their eyes on Jia Lian.

Li Wan stood beside him silently.

Jia Lian also walked into the middle and greeted Mrs. Jia, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue.

Looking at the empty embroidered stools on the ground, Jia Lian knew Jia Mu has guests here. Sure enough, with a casual glance, he saw that behind the silk screen, women from several clans were half-hiding with their heads peeping out.

Seeing his gaze, they all hid in embarrassment...

"Lian'er, your master was taken in by someone sent by the palace. Knowing what happened, your wife and I are a little worried.

You are also an official now, do you know what you don’t know?”

Jia Mu also Don’t talk nonsense and ask straight to the point.

Jia Lian replied: "Old lady and madam, don't worry, maybe it's a good thing, and it's a great thing."

"Oh, what do you mean? "Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were shocked at the same time.

At this time, Mrs. Wang could no longer afford to be polite to Jia Lian. She sat up straight and asked, "Lian'er, do you really know something? If you know, please tell us in detail..."< br />
Jia Lian shook his head again: "I can't say the specific reason. We will have to wait until the master returns home to truly know.

Madam, please be patient, it may not be too long. , the palace has just sent a message back, so why should I talk too much?

We can just wait."

Although Jia Lian is 80% certain that it should be Yuan Chunfeng After all, the concubine's matter is not 100%. If he had said this in advance, but later Jia Zheng did not enter the palace because of this matter, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

As for whether it will be slapped in the face if it is a good thing...

There are only good things in the world and bad things.

Given the current situation of the Jia family, the possibility that the emperor personally summoning him would be a bad thing is extremely low. Moreover, if it is really bad, it will be as big as an earthquake and landslide. By then, everyone will be busy protecting themselves, and who will care that he said the wrong thing?

Jia Mu and others were obviously dissatisfied with Jia Lian's statement, but when they saw Jia Lian's relaxed expression and indescribable confidence on his face, they felt a lot more relieved and secretly began to guess.
