Now that he has figured out the source of the conflict between the two families, Jia Lian has no reason not to take action.
It’s nothing more than a brush with shame. It’s not a shame to bump into my grandfather’s family.
Anyway, no matter how you look at this matter, it is the fault of the Jia family. In other words, how angry my grandfather’s family is proves how much they treat their daughter, sister, his biological mother. Love and care. From this perspective, if he can get the approval of his grandfather's family, the greater the chance he will be taken seriously.
But in this matter, you have to pay attention to methods, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
After more than ten days of careful preparation, the old man’s seventieth birthday has arrived. As expected, the Jia family did not receive the invitation as usual, so Jia Lian presented the birthday gift and took the two of them there quietly.
Following the route that I had learned about earlier, I arrived at Zhang’s house. The carriage drove into the flow of traffic that also came to celebrate my birthday. Except for a boy who came to guide me, it did not attract any other attention.
Jia Lian heard the lively sounds coming from around him, and occasionally some loud and hearty congratulations and greetings. Jia Lian opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
It is indeed a prosperous home. At the front door, there is an endless stream of guests coming to celebrate birthdays.
Finding an opening, Jia Lian called Zhang Yong and Zhaoer, who were carrying birthday gifts, to come forward. The concierge in charge of registration smiled and said welcome, while asking which distinguished guest they were.
"Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian."
The inquiring concierge did not notice the surprised look of his companion who suddenly raised his eyes. He started writing and sang: "Rongguo Mansion." The government has arrived..."
Since the other party did not want to check the invitation, Jia Lian was not too troublesome, so he put down the birthday gift and led the people to the door.
“Stop.”
A young man walked out of the door with his head tilted and asked suspiciously: “Are you from Rongguo Mansion?”
"Exactly."
The young master's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately showed a ferocious look. He stood in front of Jia Lian with his hands on his hips: "Go away, you are not welcome in our home!" ”
The sudden change made some people who had not yet entered the door stop in their tracks, which was very strange.
After all, it is rare in the entire capital to block people who come to celebrate birthdays.
There were also one or two people who seemed to know about the grudges between the two families, and they all showed smiles as if they were watching a show.
Jia Lian did not show any unhappiness. He looked at the young man up and down and said with a smile: "Is this my cousin Tao? We haven't seen each other for many years and he has grown so big? Today is my grandpa's birthday. , I came to celebrate his birthday, but cousin Tao turned me away.I'm afraid it's inappropriate. ”
Zhang Tao was very sure that no one from the Rongguo Mansion was invited to his family, but now that the other party came uninvited, he still spoke to him in the tone of an elder, which made him feel unknown. Angry.
“Who is your cousin! We don’t have the kind of love you have in our family, so please leave and don’t force me to do anything! "
Zhang Tao said, about to drive Jia Lian away. He didn't want to disturb his grandfather's birthday because of irrelevant people!
Sure enough, this is the real general's disciple. , if one is dissatisfied, he will do it directly.
Although Jia Lian also knows that the other party does not mean to hit him, but just wants to push him away, Jia Lian will not let the other party touch him.< br />
He stood still at first, but when the opponent pushed his hand towards him, he tilted his body slightly, grabbed the opponent's wrist, and pulled him back.
How could Zhang Tao have expected Jia Lian? He moved so fast that he immediately lost his balance and threw himself excitedly towards the stone ground in front of him.
“Third Master...! ”
The surrounding Zhang family servants suddenly exclaimed, but before they could react, they saw Jia Lian grabbing the back of their third master’s neck, and with a strong force, he pulled their third master back. He was dragged back. They breathed a sigh of relief and then glared at Jia Lian.
Jia Lian looked at Zhang Tao who had just stood up and said with a smile: "I know that cousin Tao and I haven't seen each other for many years. Don't be so enthusiastic, just hug your cousin when you come up. Okay, no more fuss, I have to go in to pay my grandpa a birthday. ”
Zhang Tao covered his sore neck that was strangled by his collar and coughed twice. His heart was filled with anger.
Hearing Jia Lian laugh at him again, he suddenly became angry. Angry: "I'm hugging you like a mother, but you dare to insult me, look at the punch~!" ”
It’s wrong to just do something, and it’s wrong to scold your mother. Jia Lian, who had already turned around, was just deciding to teach this stupid boy a real lesson when he saw an elegant man rushing out of the door. A young man.
“Brother Tao, don’t stop! ! ”
After being yelled at by his brother, Zhang Tao seemed to realize what day it was. He had already rushed behind Jia Lian. He hesitated for a long time, but still did not really let Jia Lian see his small fists.
The young man drank his brother, and then hurriedly walked to Jia Lian, cupped his hands and said: "My brother is rude, I have offended you a lot, please forgive me. ”
Jia Lian glanced at Zhang Tao, who was standing beside him, constantly attacking him with his eyes, and then at the young man in front of him.
He was also a handsome man, but he was just like him. Compared with others, they are a little worse than him.
Because he returned the gift by handing over his hand., smiled and said: "Cousin Su, there is no need to be so open-minded. Cousin Tao just wanted to try my boxing and kicking skills. We are both from military backgrounds, so this way of meeting is not unusual."
Listening to Jia Lian calling him cousin, Zhang Su seemed to have understood Jia Lian’s identity, but still asked: "Dare I ask who you are?"
"Jia Lian, my younger brother. , I met my cousin Sui."
It was indeed him. Zhang Su finally settled on Jia Lian in his mind, but he could not help but hesitate.
The other party was so polite. According to his self-cultivation, he should have responded with a polite word, which is the behavior of a polite gentleman. However, the other party was Jia Lian! This made it impossible for him to speak even when the words in his mouth reached his lips.
Jia Lian knew this very well, but pretended not to check it. He raised his hands and smiled again: "I came here today because I heard that my grandpa lived seventy years old, so I came here specifically to wish him a happy birthday. Cousin Su is not ready to let his little brother stand here all the time, right?"
Zhang Su is several years older than Zhang Tao, and he is no more reckless than Zhang Tao. He looked around and saw that there were already several people coming to congratulate him. Shou's guest knew that he could not be entangled any longer, so he suppressed other thoughts, cupped his hands and replied: "Please~"
Jia Lian smiled slightly, and replied "please", and then smiled. Go inside the gate.
"Brother~!" Behind him, Zhang Tao pulled Zhang Su's arm and stared at Jia Lian's back with dissatisfaction.
"Shut up. If you have any questions, wait until you tell your father!"
Quietly glaring at his younger brother, Zhang Su put on a bright smile and stepped forward to personally welcome Jia Lian into the house. .
So Zhang Tao could only keep his mouth flat and continue to stand at the door as his welcome lady.
…
After entering this door, half of today’s goal was achieved, and Jia Lian couldn’t help but feel happy.
After Zhao'er and the two were taken away by Zhang family servants to make other arrangements, Jia Lian turned back to Zhang Su and said, "I haven't been back for so many years, but my family is still as friendly as before. After paying my grandpa's birthday this time, I want to live here and never leave."
Zhang Su was speechless for a while, why looked at such a tall and handsome man, but he looked like a piece of dog skin plaster.
Return to your home... If this is your home, what does it mean for us to live here?
But having said that, when Jia Lian said this, he also remembered some things from his childhood. At that time, the relationship between the two families was quite good, and my aunt often brought this cousin over for short stays. Tao Di was still young at that time, but he was about the same age as Jia Lian, so he was quite capable of playing, and he had done a few things that seemed childish and ridiculous now that I think about it, but they were also quite childish...
It’s a pity, thingsRight and wrong, in a blink of an eye, it turned out that after so many years, the closest relatives of the two families had not even met each other.
It’s all because my aunt asked someone to marry a beast like that...
Thinking of his father and others’ judgment of Jia She, Zhang Su felt a little kindness just now The feeling immediately dissipated.
"Please~"
Jia Lian glanced at Zhang Su, aren't you tired of holding it like this? From the beginning to the end, there was only a "please", not even a word of address, let alone greetings. After all, we were also comrades who "peeed far away" together back then.
Zhang Su invited Jia Lian to the banquet venue outside the hall, and finally said a relatively long sentence: "You can sit here for a while. There may be people you recognize here, so please feel free to do so. Today in the mansion We are busy with work, so please forgive me for any negligence."
After saying that, he apologized, turned around and left.
Jia Lian chuckled, Zhang Su's attitude was much better than he expected. Since he came today, he never thought about the courtesy he would receive. Being able to let him in and stroll around freely was probably because of the old man's birthday. As juniors, they didn't want to get into trouble.
This is also the reason why he chose this time to come.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Lian? I didn't expect to see you here."
" Two young people with arms around their backs came over, a little joking. ’s smile.
Jia Lian also smiled and went up to greet me, saying: "This is my grandma's house, why can't you see me? I'd like to thank you all for coming to celebrate my grandpa's birthday. You can eat and drink well in a while. If If you feel inconsiderate, just come to me, no need to be polite."
"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say..."
