Everyone thought that this was just a trivial matter. Jia Baoyu was still a child, and he just liked the pretty girl after seeing her. It did not rise to the level of fighting between brothers for women.

It wasn’t until I saw that Jia Lian didn’t respond to Jia Mu’s words for a long time after hearing the words that I felt a thump in my heart.

In fact, Jia Mu didn’t want to say this. After all, she was a person of status and dignity, and she was not willing to take back what she said.

Long before Jia Lian came back, Jia Baoyu had been coquettishly asking her to win over Qingwen, but she never agreed and only made perfunctory words.

I was pestered by Jia Baoyu a few times, and looking at Jia Baoyu’s well-behaved appearance, I really couldn’t bear to make him unhappy, so I felt relieved.

Anyway, the person hasn’t been handed over to Jia Lian yet, so it doesn’t matter.

Just now Jia Baoyu came to her ear and said that Brother Lian already has such a good maid, so just give Qingwen to him, one for each of them is just right...

Jia Mu then decided to speak for Jia Baoyu.

"Don't think that I don't mean what I say. In fact, you know that I am the one who can't do anything to your precious brother, and he has a stubborn temper. If you feel that you have suffered a loss, I will compensate you separately. You. I don’t care about anything in this house. If you like it, just ask.”

Jia’s mother stared at Jia Lian and was really unhappy. Could it be that Jia Lian even changed her words for a girl? Don't even listen?

Jia Mu’s words also made other people who felt that Jia Mu was partial understand. Children are more willful and want good things when they see them. Jia's mother can't refuse them, so she has to exchange them with other things for Jia Lian.

This is already very caring for Jia Lian. After all, the meaning of Jia Mu’s words is probably that the maids around her can choose at will. Jia Lian has always been a pragmatic person. Instead of competing with Jia Baoyu for a little girl that has not grown yet and making Jia's mother unhappy, wouldn't it be just right to pick a bigger one and put it back in the house?

Wang Xifeng was also afraid that Jia Lian would have a seizure, so she quickly smiled and said: "Look at what the old lady said, although I won't argue with a little girl, after all, the old lady is for us and for our own good." In this case, I will promise the ancestor on his behalf that the little girl Qingwen should be given to Brother Bao, so that their children can have fun together.

But the ancestor cannot keep his word, but I do. I admire a few things in your house very much. I never dared to think about them before. Now that my ancestor has said this, I won’t be polite..."

Of course Wang Xifeng has Selfishly, she didn't want Qingwen to enter her door. But more than anything else, she was still afraid that Jia Lian would offend Jia's mother. If that happened, wouldn't all the things Jia Lian had done to please her family be in vain?

But I heard Jia Lian say in a bad tone: "My ancestors are talking to me, why are you interrupting? Go back."

This time, everyone became even more nervous. In the past, they had only seen Second Grandma Lian talking loudly to Second Master Lian, and Second Master Lian was smiling. How had they ever seen Second Master Lian scold Second Grandma Lian? Doesn't this go against common sense?

Even Wang Xifeng was stunned, but he did not retort as others thought. Instead, he stared at Jia Lian for two seconds, twitched the corners of his mouth, and backed away with a snort.

Jia Lian finally faced Jia Mu head-on. Seeing her bright eyes, he suddenly thought of Jia She.

It’s no wonder that Jia She complained that Jia Mu was partial. Although the old lady acted upright, her partiality really needed to be cured.

He shook his head and said to Jia Mu: "Ancestor, don't say anything about compensation or not. People are the ones you give to your grandchildren. Even if you want to go back, you can't do anything. It's just a matter of words, how can my grandson be disobedient?"

Jia's mother laughed, and she knew that Jia Lian was a sensible person and would never make trouble over such a trivial matter. Everyone is unhappy.

But I heard Jia Lian say again: "However, if Brother Bao is involved in this, I'm afraid that won't be the case..."

Jia Lian said, turned around and looked To Jia Baoyu who looked hopeful.

Erbao, Erbao, I originally felt some sympathy for you when you had no bad intentions and the ending was so sad, but now that you have touched my head, Don't blame me for not being polite in the future.

"If the grandson remembers it correctly, when the ancestor gave the gift to the grandson, he agreed to make up for the loss of the grandson's inner belongings, and to give Qingwen to the grandson as his concubine. Now she was taken away from him halfway. Brother Bao wants to go, I'm afraid it's not right.

Of course I am willing to give in, but I am afraid that others will hear about it and think that Brother Bao is relying on the favor of his elders to take over his brother's house. As for the concubine here, the reputation of these two treasure brothers is not good.

If such news reaches the master’s ears again, I’m afraid I don’t know how angry the master will be.”

Jia Lian said this loudly and loudly, everyone could hear it.

No one thought what Jia Lian said was wrong. If it weren't for this concern, Jia Mu wouldn't have hesitated for so long.

But after thinking about it, she felt that it was not a big deal. After all, the person was always in her hands. As long as Jia Lian didn't pester him, who would care about such a small thing?

Now that Jia Lian has said this, I am afraid that he is unwilling to give up, which makes Jia Mu feel troubled.

Although she really wanted to force Jia Lian to surrender, Jia Lian did not dare to say anything in the end, fearing that the harmony in the family would be gone. The servants would also spread gossip about her, which she didn't like to see.

But Jia Lian said to Jia Baoyu again: "Well, speaking of it, this matter is actually between us two brothers. If it is consensual between us brothers, are you willing to give me If I am willing to accept it, then others can’t say anything.

“Really, Brother Bao?”

Jia Baoyu also felt embarrassed at this time, he didn’t know Qingwen yet She was already Jia Lian's concubine in name only, but she only thought she was a girl, so she took advantage of her favor.

So when facing Jia Lian, she inevitably felt a little embarrassed, "Second brother Lian, I..."

Jia's mother stopped talking at this time. She saw it. Jia Lian has his own ideas.

Sure enough, Jia Lian waved his hand to stop Jia Baoyu's words and said with a smile: "It is only natural that elder brother should give way to younger brother. Since you sincerely want it, how can I not give it to you?

But you can't let me suffer too much. Let's talk and discuss it easily, and avoid others saying that you took advantage of me.

Let's do this, you give the attacker in your house to your brother, I'll give you Qingwen, how about it?"

As soon as Jia Lian said this, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang couldn't sit still.

Especially Mrs. Wang, she didn't know about this at first, and she also felt that Jia's mother doted on Jia Baoyu too much. If such a thing spread, it would really not be good for Jia Baoyu's reputation.

Now that I heard Jia Lian begging for an attacker, I disagreed even more.

She looks pretty good at Xiren, at least much better than Qingwen. She hates goblin-like characters the most. Although Qingwen is still young, her facial features and demeanor are comparable to those of Aunt Zhao back then! If the attacker were to replace someone like this in Jia Baoyu's house, she would probably vomit to death.

The key is that others will think that Jia Lian is generous and gives way to his brothers.

Jia Lian caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang's expression from the corner of his eye, smiled, and continued to dig a hole for Jia Baoyu: "How about Brother Bao? You also know that our ancestors used to take three first-class large The maid asked me to choose, but I didn’t choose Qingwen. I wanted Qingwen by name at the end.

I reluctantly gave up my love. Think about it, Qingwen is better than Xi Shengsheng, no matter what, you are not at a loss. ?”

Jia Baoyu originally wanted to be with Qingwen because of her good nature. When he heard what Jia Lian said, he knew that he could not take someone away without paying the price, so he nodded immediately. : "Okay, I promise you..."

How can a child weigh the pros and cons so much? Although he thinks Xiren is good, he is still not as good as Qingwen.

Jia Lian laughed and looked at the attacker standing beside him. The little girl was obviously injured. After all, Jia Baoyu agreed to Jia Lian, which meant that he recognized Jia Lian's words and said that she was not as good as Qingwen.

I think the little girl’s self-esteem was a little hurt. But she was very sensible. She just raised her head once and then lowered her head again.

On the other hand, Qingwen, who was next to Xiren, looked a little angry with her teeth and claws arrogant. She was obviously very angry that the two brothers Jia Lian treated her as a commodity.

If the people present were not all people she could not afford to offend, she would have jumped out and cursed them.

“What nonsense~!”

Jia’s mother finally couldn’t bear to watch Jia Lian bully the children.

The fact that Xiren can get one or two silver coins a month at such a young age shows that she is worth this price in the eyes of Jia Mu. How can a little girl who has just entered the house for less than a year be able to do that? Compared to that?

They are not people who only care about appearance!

Even if Xiren searched through the two houses, it would be difficult to find another one who was so loyal and sensible. This was why Jia Mu specially transferred her to Jia Baoyu's house, because she felt relieved. .

After saying a few words about Jia Baoyu, Jia Mu took a deep look at Jia Lian.

If it wasn’t a misunderstanding, she would have thought that her grandson’s city was very impressive!

As the ancestor of her family, even if Qingwen was not originally hers, it would be easy for her to want a girl. Who in the house would dare not to listen to her?

But as for Jia Lian, he seemed to understand this truth, so he had no intention of offending her from the beginning.

Whatever he said first, the ancestor wanted, it was just a matter of words, without even compensation. At first, I really thought he thought so, but later I realized that this was just one of his strategies.

I said this just to avoid conflict with her, or in other words, to give her a step down!

Then, he decisively transferred the conflict between his peers and between the two brothers Jia Baoyu and himself.

How generous he was. He gave in to the people he wanted by name. He just gave up a reason not to make him suffer too much, so that everyone felt that Jia Lian was a sensible and sensible man who did not make any mistakes. None of them.

Turn around and offer to exchange Xiren?

He must be sure that neither he nor Baoyu’s mother would agree to exchange Xiren for Qingwen.

Seeing Jia Mu staring at him, Jia Lian stopped sitting, stood up and bowed and said: "If our ancestors think this is inappropriate, then forget it. My grandson doesn't even want to attack anyone." Now, give both to Brother Bao."

Jia Lian said it sincerely, without any hint of sarcasm, but the more this happened, the more uncomfortable everyone felt.

Old lady, you are really too partial.

The one who felt the deepest feeling was Daiyu. She was not used to this kind of life style centered on Jia Baoyu.

She couldn’t understand why Jia Baoyu wanted to compete with Jia Lian for the maid, but Lian’s second brother could only retreat again and again?

Could it be that in this family, only the second brother Bao is really the treasure, and everyone else must give way to him, whether it is himself, who is younger than him, or the second brother Lian, who is older than him?

Daiyu’s first impression of Jia Baoyu was actually good, but obviously, compared to Jia Lian who traveled thousands of miles to the south of the Yangtze River to express condolences to her mother and took care of her considerately and carefully for more than three months, Jia Baoyu None of that.

But it was Jia Baoyu who bullied her and Jia Lian just after she arrived! Daiyu now only thinks that Jia Baoyu is a first-class person like Lin Jiaojiao and is annoying.

Jia Mu has been in business for decades and naturally understands what other people are thinking at this time.

If she goes further at this time, it will definitely make people think that she loves Jia Baoyu too much and is too partial, which will also chill Jia Lian's heart.

Take a step back, Jia Lian has already set up steps for her, and she can go back without losing dignity.

She suddenly felt that she had really grown old in the past few years. She didn't care about family affairs, and she didn't even pay much attention to what her eldest grandson looked like.

If her guess is correct and Jia Lian really has such a plan, in the future, I am afraid that he will have the final say in this family sooner or later...

Alas, by then, Why should I worry so much when I have already been buried?

Yin waved his hands and said: "Forget it, let's let this matter go. Okay, Baoyu, don't make any more trouble. I'll pick another good girl to serve you tomorrow, so don't listen." It's his. Tell me about you, Xiren has been serving you for so long, and you just go and trade it with someone else, without even thinking about whether it will hurt someone else's heart?"

Jia Mu Smiling and pointing at Jia Baoyu's forehead, he dismissed the matter.

Jia Baoyu usually considers himself a close friend in his boudoir and the person who cares most about his daughter’s family. But now when Jia’s mother said it, she regretted that she should not have agreed to Jia Lian. Secondly, he was embarrassed because he didn't want Qingwen, so he buried himself in Jia Mu's arms and pretended that the ostrich wouldn't come out.

Jia Lian bowed his hands in time and said: "My ancestors are wise."

Jia Mu chuckled, full of resentment, "You have eaten the rice and drank the tea. I I won’t keep you anymore, so go ahead. Take your good girl with you and put it in the house well so that no one else comes.Seeing the anger! "

Jia Lian knew that Jia Mu was angry, so he stopped staying. He said goodbye, waved to Qingwen who obviously didn't look very smart next to him, and turned around and left the teahouse.
