Chapter 498 Senior Sister Lin stayed to play with me

"Uncle Shi, this is the yard my mother arranged for Mrs. Zhen and Mr. Lin Xiang. It is not convenient for me to go in. What do you have? If necessary, you can give orders to the maids and servants inside. My nephew is always ready for orders in the outer courtyard."

"Well, you can go."

Looking at the young man, he bowed respectfully and left. , Jia Lian nodded secretly. Jia Yucun is worthy of being a second-class Jinshi, and he teaches his son well.

There are two sons and one daughter in Jia Yu Village, among which there is a son and a daughter born to Jiao Xing, but both are still young. This older one was the son of his deceased wife, and Jia Yucun had just introduced him to him, obviously training him as his successor.

The courtyard of Yingtianfu Yamen Residence is very spacious and beautiful.

Jia Lian walked forward along the corridor. Within a few steps, he saw Daiyu leaning on the railing alone, staring at the deep courtyard in front of her.

"What are you doing standing here? Where are Xiangling and the others?"

Daiyu turned around after hearing the voice, the loneliness in her eyes disappearing at a visible speed, hiding it, she looked back He glanced at the wing at the back and pointed with his lips.

Jia Lian had actually heard the voice of the woman coming from the wing over there, and just asked casually.

Looking at Daiyu’s expression, Jia Lian couldn’t help but smile and said: “Why, seeing Xiangling’s mother and daughter reunited happily, are you jealous?”

“You are a talented person. I'm jealous."

Daiyu's face was slightly red, and her original sadness was turned into embarrassment by Jia Lian.

But also, although she has lost her mother for many years, how can she compare with Xiangling. Xiangling lost both of her parents before she could remember. Now that mother and daughter are finally reunited, if she is still jealous, wouldn't she look very ignorant and without moral character?

Besides, how could she be jealous? It was just that she had just watched the reunion of Xiangling's mother and daughter. They held each other's arms and cried, and held hands and talked about their care. She was a little sad at the sight.

Of course, Jia Lian didn’t really think that Daiyu would be jealous, although Daiyu’s personality might be a little sensitive, and you could even say that she was petty. However, the character and purity of Daiyu are definitely hard to find in the world.

To give you the simplest example, no matter when, where, or under any circumstances, even if you think your parents may harm you in this situation, Daiyu will not harm you in the slightest. idea.

So he smiled, stepped forward and took Daiyu's little hand, "Since I'm not jealous, let's go in and see what they are talking about."

Daiyu didn't comment and just followed Jia Lian's footsteps.

In the simple and elegant room, Feng Shi, Jiao Xing, Xiang Ling, and several maids and servants were scattered around.

When they saw Jia Lian and his wife coming in, they all stood up and saluted.

Jia Lian didn’t expect Jiao Xing to be here, but he returned the favor. Then Jiao Xing left consciously and left with her maid.

In this way, there are basically only one person left in the room.

Mrs. Feng and her daughter looked at each other. Under her daughter’s pleading eyes, she took a deep breath, stepped forward and knelt down to Jia Lian, who had just sat on the couch, and said, "I am, Mrs. Zhen Feng. , I would like to thank the Marquis for his kindness in saving my daughter’s life and raising me.

I have no repayment, so I voluntarily sold myself to enter your house. Whether it is cleaning the house or guarding the gate, I am at your disposal. I hope you will The Marquis has shown mercy and mercy."

Seeing her mother like this, Xiangling also quickly stepped forward and knelt down with her mother, looking at Jia Lian pleadingly.

Not to mention her two, even Daiyu and several other maids in the room looked at Jia Lian like this, for fear that Jia Lian would not agree.

After previous exchanges, they all knew the situation of the Zhen family.

The Zhen family has long since disappeared, and Xiangling’s father has been a monk for many years, with no news at all. And Xiangling's mother, Feng Shi, has been living in her natal family, and she is not very popular at all.

In this case, it is better to go to the Duke’s Mansion to get a public meal. Not only will this not only provide you with food and clothing, but you will also be able to stay with your daughter day and night, making up for the shortcomings of more than ten years!

Although sold into slavery, it may not be so easy for Feng to accept emotionally, as he is a wife of a squire clan.

But she also understood that even a slave from a wealthy family would be in a much better situation than her previous situation. The most important thing is that she has repeatedly confirmed before that her daughter is not willing to leave Rongguo Mansion and her master Jia Lian no matter what.

Therefore, if she wanted to be with her daughter, she could only sell herself and enter the Rongguo Mansion. After all, with her power, she has no chance of taking her daughter away by force as long as others don't want to!

She didn’t dare to take her daughter away.

After taking it away, where will you go? She herself was living in her natal family and was despised by others. Should she take her daughter back to her natal family and suffer hardships with her?

Then why has she been looking forward to finding her daughter day and night for so many years? Is it just to prevent her from living a life of wealth and suffering along with her?

So, after a simple weighing, she agreed to the suggestion Jiao Xing gave her. Anyway, she has no children except Xiang Ling, so she can be a slave, and it will not affect her heirs.

　As for the dignity of the Zhen family, she already had no idea. When her husband abandoned her, she was heartbroken and no longer thought about the Zhen family.

Now that she is pitiful, if she is asked to find her daughter, that is, to find hope for the rest of her life, she will naturally stay by her daughter's side until she dies.

Facing everyone's gaze, Jia Lian frowned and asked: "Did Madam have thought carefully about what she said? Although it is very simple for the house to adopt an extra servant, I don't want Madam to have any problems. Reluctantly.

As for the madam’s desire to stay with her daughter, I can naturally understand it. This is why I agreed to Xiang Ling and help her find her relatives.
< br />So, even if you don’t sell yourself into the government, you can still stay with Xiang Ling. I can promise to take you back to the capital and rent a house for you in the capital. In this way, if Xiang Ling wants to see you , and it’s very easy. If you want to see your daughter, you can also come in and see her.

As for your daily expenses, you don’t have to worry about that. Xiangling girl has been with me for so many years, and I don’t see her on ordinary days. She has spent a penny carelessly. I don’t even know how much she has saved in her private house. Anyway, it is enough for you to live without worries."

As soon as Jia Lian said this, everyone hurriedly moved towards the fragrance. Ling looked over with a hidden smile.

Yes, Mr. Lian is a generous man. Who in the house doesn’t know how much he loves Xiangling. As a result, Xiangling usually gets many rewards. Woolen cloth!

When Xiangling heard Jia Lian's words, her expression became excited. She quickly looked at Feng, nodded vigorously, and almost said, "Don't worry, mother, I have money, I will support you!"

For Xiang Ling, she was definitely not willing to leave Jia Lian. However, she didn't want to wrong her mother. After all, she didn't even sell herself into Jia's family. Although she had long thought that she was a maid of the Jia family, it was true that the Jia family had not asked her to write a deed, and her monthly money had always been deducted from Jia Lian's monthly money.

Therefore, Jia Lian’s suggestion was a way to give her the best of both worlds, and she was very grateful to Jia Lian for thinking about her in this way.

Mrs. Feng met her daughter's eyes and smiled instead. She turned to Jia Lian and kowtowed again, saying sincerely: "I thank you so much, Lord Marquis, for being so considerate of my mother and daughter. However, Forgive me for being greedy, but I still want to be a slave in the house. In this way, not only can I be closer to my daughter, but I can also avoid living alone in a house with no one to talk to.

Please also ask For the sake of Xiang Ling, Lord Marquis, please allow me to sell myself into the house!"

"Mother..."

When Feng saw her daughter, she wanted to dissuade her. , then took her hand and shook her head.

How could she not understand that even Jia LianWhat she said was true, how could she be worthy enough to accept this kindness again? Moreover, she has lost her daughter for many years and now she has just reunited. How can she have the face to spend all the love her daughter has saved over the years?

Besides, there is no advantage in living outside and following her daughter into the Duke's Mansion. Even if she doesn't consider the difficulty and cost of meeting in the future, she still doesn't worry about her daughter hanging around in the Duke's Mansion alone. .

Therefore, she felt that Jiao Xing was right and finding a way to enter Rongguo Mansion was her best choice.

Since she was not related to the Rongguo Mansion, so if she wanted to enter the Mansion, the only way was to sell herself into the Mansion.

Fortunately, through just the small details, she became more and more certain that Rongguo Mansion was a house of good deeds, and Jia Lian was also a virtuous person.

In this way, she doesn’t have to worry about being treated harshly after entering the mansion.

For Jia Lian, he just wanted to help Xiang Ling find her mother. He didn't care much whether Feng went into the house to accompany Xiang Ling or lived alone outside.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Jia Lian didn’t want to talk nonsense and nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, I will make it happen for you.

But you are the one who has made up your mind. If you don’t give birth to a child in my family, you don’t need to sign a life-long contract. How about this, after you return to Beijing, you can sign a five-year life contract first, and after five years, you can stay as long as you want.”

When everyone heard this, they all knew that Jia Lian was so lenient to Feng for Xiang Ling's sake.

Although there were short-term contracts in the world, in order to ensure the absolute loyalty of slaves, wealthy families usually only signed death contracts, which were life-long contracts, and they were slaves and maids for the rest of their lives. There is no room for you to regret.

Therefore, several maids from the Jia family and the Lin family looked at Feng with envy.

Of course, Mrs. Feng also understood this truth. She didn’t know what to say for a moment, so she could only kowtow to Jia Lian to express her gratitude: “Slave, thank you so much, Lord Marquis, for your generosity!”

“ Thank you Second Master for your generosity..."

Xiangling also followed her mother and kowtowed to Jia Lian to thank her. When she raised her head, tears filled her eyes. She looked at Jia Lian with eyes full of gratitude and nostalgia.

When Feng saw this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Xiang Ling and her daughter stand up, holding hands, clearly full of words to say, but because he was not around to explain in detail, Jia Lian also understood why Daiyu did this just now A man ran out to enjoy the breeze.

So Jia Lian soon did not want to stay here any longer, and immediately bid farewell to Jia Yucun and his wife.

“Senior Sister Lin, just stay and play with me...”

Jia Yucun and Jiao Xing’s relationshipDaughter Yuchai may have seen a beautiful girl like Daiyu for the first time. After seeing her by chance before, she heard that she was her senior sister and she immediately fell in love with her. Not only did they run after each other, but now they heard that Daiyu was about to leave, they were even more reluctant to leave. They pulled on Daiyu's clothes, trying to get her to stay and play with her.

Poor Daiyu is a lonely person, facing such a little girl and being embarrassed to throw away the money from her senior sister, she always looks very embarrassed.

Jiao Xing saw Dai Yu’s embarrassment, stepped forward and took her daughter, and said with a smile: "Your father and your uncle Shi have already agreed that this time we will go to the capital together. If you I can’t bear to leave you, senior sister. You can see her on the ship when the time comes.

They still have things to do, so stop making trouble.”

“Oh, Okay then..."

The little girl frowned and reluctantly let go of Daiyu's clothes.

When Jia Lian and Jia Yucun in front turned around and saw each other, they couldn't help but smile.

"I originally wanted to keep Brother Lian down for a drink at noon. Since Brother Lian has other arrangements, Brother Yu will not force it."

"The days ahead are long."< br />
“Hahaha, okay, the days are long!”

…

Because when they came to Yingtianfu, Jia Lian and Xiang Ling rode in the same carriage. .

When returning, in order to give Xiangling and her daughter space, Jia Lian asked them to ride in his carriage.

In this way, he himself got on Daiyu's car justifiably.

As soon as he boarded Daiyu's carriage and opened the curtain to go in, he saw Daiyu frowning and staring at him: "Why did you get up here?"

"I My car was occupied by Xiang Ling and her mother, so I came here to have a ride with you. Well, isn’t Sister Lin welcome?”

Daiyu didn’t believe how a maid, He De, could dare to occupy his car. The carriage of the Grand Marquis!

"Aren't there still maids sitting in the back? If you ask them to make room for Xiang Ling and the others, will they be unwilling?"

People like Jia's family At the door, the maidservant who works closely with the young lady usually rides in a carriage when she goes out. Only the servants and maids could only walk along.

As for the reason, no one has said it, it has always been like this anyway.

"Hey, my sister Daolin used to be a considerate and good mistress, but she turned out to be a harsh one. You tried your best, but you actually ordered me to snatch their carriage. How could you say such a thing with your little cherry mouth?Such cold and heartless words? "

"If you are considerate, then you can let them sit with you. What can you do to squeeze me..."

Daiyu's little face turned red. . Just because she and Jia Lian had some small intimate behaviors, but almost all of them were in private rooms, that is, when no one saw them.

At least so far, she has not had any intimate interactions with Jia Lian. Riding in the same carriage.

A carriage is a very private space, just like a room. Now that Jia Lian gets on her carriage, she is worried that others will laugh at her.

" In my capacity, it would be even more inappropriate for me to be crowded together with your maids, right? "

"Bah..."

Seeing that she could not speak to Jia Lian, Daiyu decisively took out her usual skills and spat at Jia Lian.
< br /> Jia Lian burst out laughing, "Okay, I admit, I want to ride in the same carriage as you. Who told Sister Lin that you are so lovable?"

Haha, Senior Sister Lin, just stay and play with others..."

"Ah, you are going to die, you are not serious! ”

When Daiyu heard that Jia Lian actually imitated Jia Yuchai’s way of trying to save her, she suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body and her cheeks turned red.

However, in her heart, she felt Still very happy.

Since she was a child, she has never met any outsiders. This is the first time she has met a little girl who likes her so much. Therefore, although her previous enthusiasm towards Jia Yujiao was a bit I was at a loss, but after thinking about it, I was quite happy.

After all, although many people in the Jia family did not dare to say it, the details showed that they all felt that they had a bad personality and were unlovable. .

Humph, isn’t this girl very lovable?

Who knew that Jia Lian would make fun of her!

Look at Dai After being teased like this, Jia Lian was panting and her face was flushed. Knowing that Dai Yu couldn't bear the teasing, Jia Lian stopped his hand at the right time. He sat down closer, took her little hand, and let her lean gently against his chest. Inside.

Although Daiyu was shy about this, Jia Lian and others had come up, and she could not drive him down again.

"By the way, Sister Lin, you used to Have you been to Jinling City? "

"Maybe I have been here before, but I have no memory. "

Daiyu answered truthfully. Jinling is the central city in the entire Jiangnan. She should have been here with her parents when she was a child.

"In that case, I will take you to visit Jinling City how? ”

DaiyuHear the words and move. There are few ladies who don’t want to go shopping without leaving home.

Besides, Jia Lian is accompanying her.

But after thinking about it, Daiyu still said: "Xiang Ling and her mother have just reunited. I'm afraid it's hard to let them follow us everywhere."

"It doesn't matter. , I’ll just let them go back first.”

After saying that, Jia Lian let go of Daiyu, opened the curtain, and ordered a group of people to take Xiangling and her daughter back to the old house of Rongguofu first. Then he took Daiyu towards the West City.
