Chapter 317 The Girl from the Jia Family

Seeing that Jia’s mother had finished asking her questions, Jia Lian was ready to leave.

Although most of the women present are of good color, it is a pleasure to be among them. But after all, Jia Lian is an adult man with status and status. He neither wants to be rude nor wants his every word, deed, and move to be observed by others.

Helplessly, although Jia Baoyu did not dare to ask about the princess anymore, she pestered him and asked him why he didn't see Shang Fang's sword since he was an imperial envoy, and other such questions.

Jia Mu had no intention of driving him away. Instead, she asked: "I vaguely heard someone say before that the gentlemen unanimously elected you to be the patriarch?"

"You are just the acting patriarch. That’s all, he said that he will take care of the family affairs first, and when Sister-in-law You’s son grows up, he will hand it over to the eldest son.”

When Jia’s mother heard this, she understood the considerations of the men outside. , couldn't help but frown: "Why, now, you respect my uncle, but you still refuse to stay at home, and you still want to go back to Xuanzhen Temple?"

Jia Lian waved his hand helplessly: "All the gentlemen have done it. I have tried to persuade him many times, but I just respect my uncle sincerely for his devotion to the Tao, so I can only obey him."

When Jia Mu heard this, she had nothing to say except silence.

Although she is the ancestor of the Jia family, she has no control over Jia Jing becoming a monk. When Jia Daihua was here, she couldn't control him, let alone her aunt!

Others inside and outside the hall did not care much about whether Jia Jing became a monk or not. They only heard one thing clearly.

That means, Jia Lian is the clan leader? A century-old clan is growing and spreading, with many branches and side houses, and its life is becoming more and more unsatisfactory.

But why do they continue to live in the capital and surround Ning Rong’s Second Mansion?

Nothing else, because we can get help and care from the two governments!

The person responsible for this charity and care is the clan leader.

After all, no matter how wealthy the two houses are, they will not get much glory. Only the clan leader has the obligation to support and care for the clan members who are unable to take care of them.

Even Jia Zhen would deliver grain and goods to each house every year when the crops were harvested, or she would directly ask them to pick them up at Ningguo Mansion.

Now that they know that Jia Lian has served as the acting patriarch and controls the distribution of family materials, they naturally look at Jia Lian more eagerly one by one...

And Jia Lian speaks. In the meantime, seeing all the sisters and sisters-in-law standing there, he walked two steps to Daiyu and others without Jia Mu's instructions.

Tanchun gave up his stool very neatly and helped himHe sat down with Jia Lian. Then she took Yingchun's arm and prepared to stand against her second sister for the time being.

However, the maids in the hall had already received orders from Youshi to observe the scene at any time. Upon seeing this, they had brought two extra stools over. Tanchun and Jia Baoyu sat down around Jia Lian.

After hearing Jia Baoyu's question again, Jia Lian glanced at him and replied with a smile: "Of course I have Shang Fang's sword, but your majesty will not give it to me until the day the princess leaves the capital."< br />
"That's it. Unfortunately, I still want to take a look to see if this Shang Fang horse-killing sword is really as majestic as the rumors say, soaring like a dragon and raising a phoenix."

Although the Jia family has swords, they are just ordinary sword styles. The Shangfang Sword, made in the Longquan style, is a thing that belongs exclusively to the imperial power. Under normal circumstances, only the emperor can use it.

So most people can’t see what Shang Fang’s sword looks like.

Jia Lian smiled and said to Jia Baoyu: "It's not difficult for you to take a look.

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books and wait until you leave the capital. On the day, I will take you with me, and you will walk with me to the northwest desert to take a look at the beautiful mountains and rivers I am facing. Maybe I will make some progress but not necessarily."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, Very moving.

It’s not that he wants to travel thousands of miles, he just feels that if he does this, he will have the opportunity to see Princess Zhaoyang, who is famous even though he has not met her...
< br />After all, he could only think about it. Looking back at his mother's warning eyes, Jia Baoyu lowered his head knowingly.

"Second brother, are you really leaving Beijing again?"

Suddenly hearing a delicate and vibrating voice, Jia Lian immediately turned around, because this was Daiyu's voice.

I saw Daiyu sitting upright on her small bench, looking straight at him with watery eyes, with obvious reluctance in her eyes.

Looking at Yingchun, Tanchun and others, there is a similar situation.

As soon as they nodded, Daiyu and others became more and more nervous and reluctant.

Brother Lian has only been home for half a year, and he is leaving Beijing again, and this time he is going further than before.

Let’s not talk about not seeing him for a long time, just in case...

It is said that there is still a war at the border. Although the second brother Lian left the capital under the order, he is not Is there any foolproof way to deal with dangerous situations?

What if brother Lian has something wrong with him, then...

Thinking of this, Daiyu felt an inexplicable tightness in her heart, and an extreme fear was already welling up in her heart. in her heart.

She doesn’t knowWhy do I worry about this? Even the old lady and the others probably don't think so, which seems a bit unfounded.

But she was very worried. She really couldn't imagine the consequences if Jia Lian never came back.

In that case, wouldn’t she lose a...

A cousin who loved her and took care of her so much.

Daiyu has a sensitive mind, so she thinks more and more profoundly than others. She does not want Jia Lian to go to such a far and dangerous place.

For Tanchun and others, Jia Lian was traveling under the emperor's order, which was the most important business.

Although I was reluctant to give up, in the end I could only secretly bless and say something like, "It's a long journey, so take care of it."

Jia Lian accepted the concern of his sisters and took a look at the delicate Daiyu.

When she comes back from this errand, Sister Lin will be in her cardamom years...

Finally, she is looking forward to the day when she will sprout.

Jia Lian just said a few words to Daiyu and others. Seeing the rare opportunity, other women in the hall naturally wanted to get close.

A smart woman immediately thought of an excellent reason.

Seeing that Jia Lian had a chance to talk, she immediately interrupted with a smile: "Brother Lian has been busy with big things outside, and we rarely see you all year round.

This is your sister, nicknamed Xiluan, she is twelve years old this year.

Luanluan, if you haven’t come forward yet, I’d like to pay my respects to your second brother Lian!”

Feng Yun You Cun, a woman with a cautious tone, pulled the shy girl from her side and introduced her to Jia Lian.

The girl was very shy, but she didn’t want to lose her etiquette in front of everyone, so she followed her mother’s strength and slowly walked up to Jia Lian and bowed: “I’ve met the second brother Lian~ "

Jia Lian smiled and stood up to return the favor.

The Jia family has eight rooms in Beijing and a large number of people.

Fortunately, the men had many opportunities to come into contact with Jia Lian, so Jia Lian recognized most of them.

But it’s hard to say for these cousins ​​who never leave the door.

According to Jia Lian's observation just now, in this hall today alone, apart from Daiyu and Sanchun, there are about twenty girls under the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Most of them were unknown to him, only some that looked familiar, and he probably knew which houses and households they belonged to.

This Xiluan is too young, he really looks unfamiliar. However, her mother Jia Lian knew her and was Jia's mother.

Jia XiluangangJia Baoyu stepped forward to greet Jia Lian, but Jia Baoyu couldn't move his eyes away from him.

Unlike Jia Lian, he had been raised by Jia's mother since he was a child and especially liked beautiful girls. Naturally, he recognized most of the girls in the family.

After all, we are from the same clan. During the holidays, we always go to Rongguo Mansion to pay respects to Jia Mu.

If you come with your daughter or granddaughter, you will naturally have the opportunity to meet Jia Baoyu.

But Jia Baoyu can’t remember other things. Remembering which sister is good-looking is his specialty.

When I saw Jia Xiluan at this time, I couldn’t help but secretly praise in my heart: Sister Xiluan, she is really getting better and better. I have thought she is good since I was a child!

Jia Mu, who was at the head, also took a look at this girl immediately.

She nodded secretly, then smiled and said to Jia Lian: "Your aunt is right. That was all before. Now that you are the patriarch, you should also recognize the sisters and nieces in your family. So that we don’t recognize them when we meet in the future, and we end up making a joke.”

With that said, Jia Mu made the decision and called all the girls over so that Jia Lian could take a look at them.

The other women were worried that Jia's mother had taken advantage of them and showed their faces in front of Jia Lian. At this time, there was no one who did not cooperate with Jia's mother and brought out their daughters and granddaughters one after another. Let Jia Lian recognize it and ask Jia Lian to take care of him in the future.

To be honest, there were so many girls, living in separate rooms and even generations apart, so Jia Lian could not remember them all clearly at the same time.

But I found out that the Jia family’s genes are really good, even if they are just girls from one side of the family, they all look well-behaved.

The most outstanding among them is Jia Xiluan, plus Jia Qiong’s younger sister, Fourth Sister.

Jia Lian was a little impressed by Jia Qiong’s sister, but the one who impressed her the most was Jia Qiong’s mother.

Burning the young woman, killing the waist. That was all several years ago.

Originally, according to Jia Lian's habit, the sister he met for the first time had to be given some kind of meeting gift.

But today there are too many sisters and nieces. Even if Jia Lian takes off all the small items he is wearing, there will not be enough to give them away. So Jia Lian could only give up and send a word of concern and praise instead, and that was the end of it.
