In the Rongguo Mansion compound, people finally dispersed.

The two maids, Xiao Que and Xiao Jixiang, also walked back happily.

Suddenly a young boy jumped out from behind the three-foot-tall potted crabapple flower.

"Xiao Jixiang, I heard that you received rewards, how much did you receive?"

Jia Huan stood in the middle of the road with his hands on his hips, his eyebrows squinting and his eyes furtive.

Both Xiaoque and Xiao Jixiang were Aunt Zhao's maids. They were well aware of Jia Huan's temperament, and they became wary when they saw his malicious look.

The young Jixiang even hid the purse that he had just opened for Sister Xiaoque to see behind his back, then glared at Jia Huan and said, "How much have we received? Guan What are you doing!"

Everyone in the house knows that the servants assigned to serve Aunt Zhao and her son have been unlucky for eight lifetimes.

They are not afraid of Jia Huan.

But Jia Huan saw Xiao Jixiang hiding the money with sharp eyes, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a face: "Quickly, give me half..."

"No, this is the reward given to me by Mr. Lian, why should I give it to you!"

Xiao Jixiang is only nine years old this year and is the youngest and most junior in the house. Girl.

But under the influence of his ears and eyes, he is not afraid of Jia Huan, his master.

Seeing the unreasonable request, his childish eyes widened, and his white and tender face was full of anger. Such a little round-faced girl is so cute even when she is angry.

It’s just that cuteness is worthless in Jia Huan’s eyes.

He immediately said angrily: "You don't know how to show appreciation, you are worthy of the money, if you don't hand it over to me, otherwise see how I deal with you!"

If the soft one doesn’t work, then use the hard one.

Jia Huan felt that he had to come up with his master’s money.

While speaking, she also glanced at the little magpie next to her.

As the eldest maid next to her aunt, he certainly knew that Xiao Que would definitely receive a bigger reward.

But he was only nine years old, and Xiaoque was fifteen or sixteen years old. He would definitely not be able to defeat him, so he only picked the soft persimmon Xiao Jixiang.

Anyway, he was used to bullying Xiao Jixiang, so he didn’t think there was anything wrong.

Seeing that Xiao Que was sensible and didn’t interfere, he saw the opportunity and snatched Xiao Jixiang’s wallet containing money.

　“Give it to me!”

　“No,It just doesn’t work!

　

　“You’re such an ignorant thing, just wait for me...”

Being knocked to the ground by Xiao Jixiang Jia Huan suddenly started to curse.

This time it was not just a matter of whether he could get the money, but his master, being pushed to the ground by a little slave. This was a matter of humiliation.< br />
After he stood up, he saw Xiao Que and a little girl who was also passing by, laughing at him, and became even more furious.

Just when he rolled up his sleeves, he wanted to teach him a lesson When it was auspicious, firelight and voices came from the second door, and then a large group of people came in.

When he saw the leader, Jia Huan was instantly frightened and wanted to leave.
/>
　“Stop. ”

Seeing Jia Lian and Heping’er, Xiaoque and other maids did not dare to neglect and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

When Jia Huan saw that he was discovered, he could only obediently step forward and bow. He clasped his fists: "I've seen Brother Lian..."

"What are you arguing about here? "

Upon hearing the question, before Jia Huan could give Xiao Jixiang a flattering look, Xiao Jixiang, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, had already replied loudly: "In reply to the second master, Huan San He wants to steal my reward money! "

Seeing that Jia Lian looked wrong, Jia Huan hurriedly explained: "No, no, I just saw that she got so much reward money, and I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to spend it all, so I wanted to help her spend it..."

As he said this, perhaps he felt that the explanation did not make sense, and his face turned red from holding back.

Ping'er, who was behind Jia Lian, couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words. And Ping'er, who was leading the group behind him The women and maids even made mocking sounds one after another.

They looked at the tall and heroic Jia Lian in front of them, and then at the Jia Huan in front of them who was rubbing his hands and feet, and they all felt interesting in their hearts.
/>
They are both men in the same house, how can they be so different? Well, maybe comparing the second master Lian and the third master Huan is a contempt and insult to the second master Lian.

He also robbed the little girl of the reward money, how could Mr. Kuihuan think of it!

When Jia Lian first heard Xiao Jixiang’s words, he was quite speechless.

But when I think about the situation of Aunt Zhao and her son in Rongguo Mansion, as well as Jia Huan’s urine, it’s really his style.

He didn’t say anything, turned around and said to Ping’er: “Take two slings of money. give him. ”

　“Yes. "

Ping'er responded Yingying, then turned around and took out two large bunches of money from the basket carried by the women.

They were all left over from before., Ping'er took it back on Wang Xifeng's order, and can use it if there is a reward next time.

“Thank you, second brother, thank you sister Ping’er~”

When Jia Huan saw that Jia Lian was going to give him money, his eyebrows came together in happiness.

Speaking of which, he is a rich man in the house, but he is very short of money.

Aunt Zhao who raised him was greedy and stingy. Most of Jia Huan’s money was saved by Aunt Zhao, saying that it would be used for his future wife.

Secondly, although Jia Huan is young, he has developed many bad habits early on.

Let’s not talk about spending money arbitrarily. He doesn’t have much money to spend arbitrarily.

The only thing is that he also likes to find people to gamble with, thinking that he is very smart and can win money from others, but most of the time he loses all the coins he has saved with great difficulty.

So much so that, many times, he didn’t even have money to buy snacks when he went to school.

That’s why I envy the small auspicious reward. In his opinion, Xiao Jixiang was his aunt's slave and his slave, and asking her to give him money was a sign of respect for her.

How dare she not know how to show appreciation? After she goes back, she must ask her aunt to take care of her!

Ping'er has been with Wang Xifeng's housekeeper for many years, and is naturally familiar with Jia Huan.

But Ping'er is not like other people who are sarcastic towards Jia Huan. In Ping'er's eyes, Jia Huan is just a child who has been taught bad things.

In the past, she was a servant and could not say much, but now it seemed that Jia Lian wanted to discipline her, so after giving two slings of money to Jia Huan, she also told her: "Take the money and go find you three times." Sister, please stop bullying the little girls while they are playing, otherwise your second brother Lian will be angry."

"No way, it was Xiao Jixiang who bullied me, she even pushed me down, Ping'er If my sister doesn't believe it, ask them."

Jia Huan, who lacked care and was ridiculed since childhood, had a good impression of Ping'er, who was gentle, peaceful and easy to treat others.

When I heard his soft words, I was even more moved. Not wanting Ping'er to misunderstand, he immediately pointed at Xiao Que and the others and explained.

It’s a pity that Xiaoque and others have been disgusted with Aunt Zhao and her son for a long time, and they turned away with disdain when they saw this.

But Ping'er just smiled and stood beside Jia Lian.

Jia Lian originally wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that there was nothing to say.

It would be impossible for Jia Huan to be brought up like this without Mrs. Wang’s deliberate indulgence.

But what does this have to do with his big house?

　correct? With such a crooked neck, he doesn't have the confidence or energy to do such a thankless task.

Moreover, Jia Lian knows that in a few years, when Jia Huan is a little older and has more "skills", he will be easy to cause harm to Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu and others.

Therefore, I’d better keep this little thing and let Mrs. Wang wait for the headache. It has nothing to do with him.

So he turned around and said to Ping'er: "You go back first, I'll go see the master."

After Ping'er agreed, he committed himself to seeing Jia Lian off, and then So I took the mothers-in-law back to Sister Feng's Children's Home.

And here, Jia Lian can easily see Jia Zheng.

Although Jia Zheng felt that Jia Lian's grandiose "second ancestral temple" was a bit too unconventional, but after hearing what Jia Lian said, he had many intentions. He could not object, so he just said: " I'm afraid that the elders in the clan may have objections."

"It doesn't matter, in a few days, my nephew will invite the elders in the clan to discuss matters. If there are any problems, my nephew will solve them himself. ”

Jia Lian now has the title of clan leader and is already qualified to take charge of clan affairs.

The most important thing is that the head of the Jia family not only controls the management of the family's sacrificial fields, but also controls the distribution of interests for the branch clan members. There are not many people in the clan who oppose the clan leader. room.

Even if some people object, it is not a cause for concern now that he is a Marquis and is known to be a popular figure in front of Emperor Ning Kang.

On the other hand, if Jia Mu asked, she would have to organize her speech.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jia Mu sent someone to tell Jia Lian to come over.

Jia Lian said goodbye to Jia Zheng. When passing by the west courtyard of Rongxi Hall, he met a woman on the back porch.

"I have met my aunt."

Jia Lian stood on the side of the road and bowed slightly.

In fact, with Jia Lian’s current status, it is not an exaggeration to even stand and let Aunt Zhao come to salute first.

But seeing as she is Jia Zheng’s concubine, she is an elder, and Jia Lian has always maintained a humble and polite image, so she doesn’t care about this.

And Aunt Zhao’s eyes brightened when she saw Jia Lian.

He arrived in front of Jia Lian in three steps and two steps at a time. He returned the gift in a similar manner to Jia Lian, and then said with a smile: "Brother Lian is now a Marquis. How about you?" So many gifts... By the way, I haven't congratulated Brother Lian on being made a Marquis!"

"Auntie, you're welcome."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, Haha, just nowListen to what my short-lived kid said, did you give him two ounces of money? "

" "It's just a little pocket money, it's nothing." "

"Where, two ounces of money is nothing in Brother Lian's eyes, but in our eyes, it is almost my monthly salary..."

Aunt Zhao’s face is full of smiles. Coupled with her peach-blossom face and good looks, she also feels a bit like a beautiful girl with a spring breeze blowing on her face.

But, But Jia Lian was not able to seduce him.

And Jia Lian was also very confused, wondering why Aunt Zhao was getting close to him.

But it should not be to seduce him.

According to Jia Lian’s understanding, although Aunt Zhao has a crude and even stupid character, she should still be quite loyal to Jia Zheng.

This cannot be found in memory. The information about Fengyue related to this woman can also be used as evidence.

You must know that before he came to this world, Jia Lian was romantic and suave, and he was not taboo about meat and vegetables.

Any woman who has three points of beauty is eager to swallow her up quickly.

But Jia Lian, who was thinking like this at this time, also found some of his original self from his memory. For this stupid woman There were many coveting scenes, but I never dared to implement them because I didn't get a response from Aunt Zhao.

"If you have anything to say, Aunt Zhao, please tell me. I still want to see the old lady. " Jia Lian's eyes were slightly cold, and he took a step back.

Aunt Zhao also noticed Jia Lian's impatience, so she smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's about your brother Huan.

Your brother Huan is not as talented as you. He has been impatient since he was a child, and he will definitely not have much potential in the future.

It’s just that he is your cousin after all, brother Lian. I just thought that for this reason, it would not only be a great honor for him to be able to win over him in the future, but also My master and I will always be grateful for your kindness. ”

In the eyes of Aunt Zhao, Jia Zheng is naturally very powerful.

But Jia Zheng is a noble civil servant. In the past, she would always ask Jia Zheng for mercy, and let Jia Zheng If Zheng Zheng takes care of Jia Huan, Jia Zheng will take the opportunity to ask how Jia Huan is studying and whether she is diligent in studying.

Well, what can she say about this? She herself doesn’t know shit, how can she possibly teach Jia Huan?

As for Jia Huan, although he has been studying for one or two years, Aunt Zhao can also guess a little bit about what he has learned from his usual demeanor.

So I can only make vague remarks.

At this time, Jia Zheng would snort: Wait until he reads the book thoroughly.Well, when the time comes, he will naturally have a bright future without my support. If you don't study carefully, don't talk about pulling him down in the future. If I don't kill him, it will be his fate.

In this case, how could Aunt Zhao dare to mention this in front of Jia Zheng again.

Knowing that Mrs. Wang would not give Jia Huan anything good after the family was separated, she was always worried about her son's future.

This is why she is saving money so hard now.

Now there is a Jia Lian in Jia Mansion, who is a bigger official than Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian is not as aloof, pedantic and hard to talk to as Jia Zheng.

Therefore, when she heard Jia Huan say that Jia Lian gave him two ounces of money tonight, she immediately came up with an idea and told Jia Huan that when she saw Jia Lian in the future, she should behave well and obediently.

With this idea, now that she met Jia Lian, she naturally wanted to have a friendship with Jia Lian.

Hearing what Aunt Zhao said, Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and looked down at her.

Although she looks down upon this woman to some extent, her attitude of parents loving their children and having far-reaching intentions is still affirmative.

But how old is Jia Huan now? Is he ten years old?

Isn’t it too early for such a little brat to be busy looking for a way out for him instead of teaching him well, correcting his temper first, and then letting him study hard?

Well, maybe Aunt Zhao doesn’t know how to teach Jia Huan.

He heard Wang Xifeng and Heping'er say that Jia Huan was very timid in front of others, but in front of Aunt Zhao, he treated Aunt Zhao with the attitude of "a husband will obey his son even if he dies".

Shaking his head, Jia Lian responded casually: "My aunt is serious, we are all a family, why should we be like this."

"Hahaha, you know that Brother Lian is a warm-hearted person. People will not ignore their brothers..."

"If Aunt Zhao has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

Jia Lian knows very well what Aunt Zhao doesn't understand. Due to politeness, I didn't bother to bother with her, so I said goodbye, ignored her look of reluctance, and walked to Rongqing Hall.

After a lot of talking, he explained his intention of building the Zhongyi Temple to Jia Mu. Jia Mu had no intention of forcibly interfering with him. She just asked him to explain it clearly to the elders of the clan. , then after caring about him for a few words, he let him go back to rest.

It is worth mentioning that Jia Mu still asked Yuanyang to send him off.

Jia Lian had not paid attention before.

Now that I think about it carefully, I don’t know since when, every time I saw Jia Mu, if necessary, Jia Mu would mostly ask the mandarin duck girl to see him off.

With Jia Mu’sBeing shrewd and well-versed in the ways of the world will never be accidental.

Could it be that she saw that he was interested in Yuanyang, so she made it happen on purpose?

Or does she feel that she has not been close to her since she was a child, so she wants to use the best maid around her to make up for it, and also to capture his filial piety? Or perhaps, what she has the best is Yuanyang and Xiren.

One of the attackers was given to Jia Baoyu, so the other one was decided to be given to him to show fairness?

If it is the first two, if it is the last consideration, Jia Lian just wants to say that it is not necessary.

Because Xiren was already his.
