As one of the two most extraordinary women in the Red Mansion, Baochai is as famous as Daiyu, and is truly one of a kind in the world.
As a visitor from later generations, Jia Lian had already deeply admired his name in another time and space.
When I came to this world and got a glimpse of her beauty, I was first moved by her appearance, and then I glimpsed her character. I only felt that her character was like the white snow on the mountain, and her character was like the moonlight on the empty mountain at night.
Sigh: There is nothing more elegant than this among women in the world.
If such a person can be obtained by legitimate means, why would he bear to give it to others?
Therefore, Jia Lian did not hesitate to treat Daiyu with dignity and spared no effort to win her heart.
Judging from the current results, he may have succeeded more than half of the time. As long as he works harder, he may not be able to achieve what he wants.
Perhaps, we can try harder on Aunt Xue next. There is no better daughter than a mother, let alone a good and filial child like Baochai.
After coming out of Xue’s house, I still entered the Grand View Garden through the back door of the Grand View Garden. I followed the path around Dazhu Mountain and passed through Daoxiang Village when I suddenly heard the sound of Lang Lang reading.
Looking up, I saw Daoxiang Village at night, with lanterns hanging slightly in several tile houses, illuminating the dim fields and graceful fences, really like a corner of an exquisite countryside.
Jia Lian stepped forward, hesitated again, then led the accompanying girl Xiang Ling and turned towards Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Just as Jia Lian turned around and left, Li Wan, who was sitting next to the window in Daoxiang Village, seemed to feel something. He looked up at the dark night sky outside with a gloomy expression.
Then she turned her head and glanced at the shadow of her son holding up a book and reading through the paper on the west window, and her heart calmed down again.
…
Rongguo Mansion suddenly became restless after nightfall.
This kind of restlessness lasted for a long time, disturbing everyone in the Rongguo Mansion. Even Jia Lian, who was hiding in the Grand View Garden and enjoying the tranquility, was not spared.
Xiaohong held up her skirt and climbed up step by step along the white stone steps in front of the Cuicui Temple. When she came to the mountain gate, she squinted and looked in through the crack in the door. It was so dark that nothing could be seen clearly.
So she took a step back and knocked gently on the wooden door.
After a moment, the old woman guarding the door opened the mountain door and looked at the girl outside the door in surprise. As a servant who had served Miaoyu since she was growing up, although she had lived with Miaoyu in Guancui Nunnery for more than a year, she didn't often move around the house, and she didn't know Xiaohong.
"My name is Xiaohong, and I am the waiter in the second master and second grandma's room. Excuse me, the second master is here. I am following the instructions of our second grandma to ask the second master to go back and deal with important matters. ”
"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Xiaohong. Mr. Lian is studying Buddhism with the abbot in the nunnery. Please wait a moment and let me go and report."
Xiaohong hesitated for a moment. , still nodded, watching the servant woman close the mountain door again, and then the footsteps disappeared.
Xiaohong couldn't help but feel a little unmotivated, thinking that if it were Sister Ping'er who came here, this person would not dare to lock her out of the mountain gate.
Another thought, this person may not look down on her, maybe there are other reasons.
I thought that someone in the house had once said that Master Miaoyu on Mount Cui was not only very beautiful, but also like a fairy. Moreover, the Dharma is profound and the Taoism is famous far and wide. He might be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. Otherwise, how could someone like Mr. Lian be willing to be called a disciple?
As for the others, they, the maids serving in the room, naturally understand that their master, grandma, master and master are actually people who do not believe in Buddhism.
Why does Mr. Lian admire this wonderful jade so much? Could it be...
Xiaohong's face turned serious as she thought about it, and she didn't dare to think any more. At this moment, the mountain door creaked open, which startled her and she quickly looked inside.
I saw that the old lady had already changed her warm smile, "Miss Xiao Hong, please come with me."
Xiao Hong nodded and followed the old lady. As the woman walked into the nunnery, she felt nervous. She thought to herself that if she saw something she shouldn't see, should she pretend to be stupid or not?
However, things were not as complicated as the little girl expected. The old woman in the nunnery took her straight from the courtyard and walked a few steps to a place full of flowers.
Through the lattice wall covered with wall creepers, you can see candlelight filling the air under the rose trellis on the other side.
Handsome men and beauties are sitting at the stone table, making tea and admiring the moon. There are waiters beside them waving fans to drive away mosquitoes.
Xiao Hong quickly straightened her expression and stepped forward to greet her.
“What happened?”
“Back to the Second Master, Mother Zhao’s two sons were beaten. Now Mother Zhao has found the Second Grandma to cry and complain. The Second Grandma will deal with it No, please go back, Master..."
Xiaohong was a little bit tight-lipped, and it was obvious that she had some things that she couldn't say in front of outsiders.
But Jia Lian had already remembered that Zhaoer complained to him at noon, and he tacitly allowed Zhaoer to take revenge on the Zhao brothers.
As her son was beaten, it was natural for Mother Zhao to ask Sister Feng to make the decision. And it made sense for Sister Feng to let him go back because the one who hit him was Zhao'er, and there might be other personal guards under him who were difficult for her to deal with.
He justTo put it bluntly, Sister Feng has never bothered to be a look-alike. Even before he traveled through time, no matter how late Jia Lian stayed out and came home, she never asked Baba to find or invite her.
Sister Feng wants to have face, so she won’t do such a humble and embarrassing thing.
Therefore, whenever she sends someone to look for her, there must be something serious. Jia Lian has always been quite satisfied with Sister Feng.
Although he didn't take the Zhao brothers' matter to heart, Jia Lian still had to give Sister Feng some face and go back as soon as possible.
So he drank the tea that Miaoyu handed over, and then smiled and said: "It's already late, so I won't disturb Fairy Miaoyu anymore. I'll visit you another day."
“Please.”
Miaoyu’s expression did not change, she also stood up gracefully, clasping her hands together in a graceful bow.
With her cold face, stunning appearance, and spotless robes, she is indeed no different from a Taoist fairy.
Jia Lian couldn't help but take another look, then called the two maids and went down the mountain.
Originally Jia Lian only thought that Zhaoer and others were just teaching the Zhao brothers a lesson and didn’t take it too seriously. However, when he returned home, he realized that things were not that simple. .
When Jia Lian stepped into the courtyard gate, the first thing he saw was a pair of men sitting on the ground, wrapped in gauze like mummies.
The three corridors in front of the main room and the east and west wings were filled with maids and servants watching the excitement. They were smiling and chattering, which was very different from the ouch-filled scene below.
His arrival made them quiet down a bit, but it also made the two "mummies" excited. The two climbed on each other and rolled towards Jia Lian, shouting to the sky.
Jia Lian was shocked and couldn't help but slow down and asked: "These, two nanny brothers? What are you...?"
"Brother Lian, you You have to make the decision for us, we two brothers are so miserable, our lives are ruined."
"Uh..."
"Damn it, Zhao'er, still There is Feng Fei, and... and... Anyway, they are all your personal guards, and we did not provoke them. This afternoon, Zhao'er took them and blocked us two brothers in the alley. It’s just a severe beating regardless of the circumstances.”
“That’s it, look at what we were beaten into, oh, it hurts me to death...”
Brothers Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong rushed to complain, and they also wanted to show their broken arms and legs to prove it. As soon as they moved, they broke out in cold sweat from the pain.Speech is unclear.
Before they could explain clearly, another woman rushed out of the main room.
"Brother Lian... you are back... you must make the decision for your two brothers..."
But it was Zhao's mother.
Mother Zhao also cried loudly, and she no longer had the usual good manners. She grabbed Jia Lian as soon as she came up and wiped her eyes with tears. What she said was roughly the same as what the Zhao brothers said. Pretty much the same.
Jia Lian took a closer look at the injuries of the two Zhao brothers and made sure they were not faking. Then he took a long breath and said to Zhao's mother: "Mom, please don't worry, I will definitely do this." I will investigate clearly. If it is really Zhaoer and his friends' fault, I will not be merciful."
After finally comforting Zhao's mother, Jia Lian walked to the corridor and looked at him with a half-smile. , Sister Feng obviously doesn’t mind watching the excitement.
"Originally I didn't want to bother you about family matters, but in today's matter, it was your people who beat people, and the two nanny brothers who were beaten were the two nanny brothers. I can't make the decision, I can only Invited you back."
Jia Lian nodded, walked sideways into the room, and saw Zhao'er kneeling in the outer hall.
Upon hearing the movement, Zhao'er, who was kneeling with his head bowed, raised his head, and several thick red scratches were clearly displayed on his face.
"This is it?" Jia Lian asked curiously.
Zhaoer glanced at Jia Lian’s side, stared at his mother Zhao fiercely, lowered his head and said nothing.
Sister Feng smiled and said: "This is what Mother Zhao rewarded him with. Haha, I didn't expect that Mother Zhao, who usually looks gentle and gentle, is so capable. If we hadn't pulled her just now, I'm afraid that You, a confidant, have been torn apart by Mother Zhao."
Jia Lian understood and went straight into the house without saying anything.
Sitting down on the Kang in the west room, Jia Lian said in a deep voice before Mother Zhao could speak: "Don't worry, Mother Zhao, I will investigate this matter clearly, and I will never let the two mothers speak. My brother has been wronged and wronged.
Here comes someone."
Several servants came in, and Jia Lian ordered: "Go to the second door and ask someone to interfere with Feng Fei and others. Call all the people involved in the matter and say that I have something to interrogate them."
Hearing what Jia Lian said, Mother Zhao calmed down a little. Sister Feng took advantage of the situation to support her and said: "Mom was crying like this just now. It's been a long time, you must be hungry, right? I asked people to prepare tea and snacks. Mom will go down to rest and refresh herself. It won't be too late to explain everything in front of the second master when those people come in. "
Sister Feng knew that Jia Lian must be very annoyed, so she took Mother Zhao away with half coaxing and half pulling.
After a while, Sister Feng came back and saw JiaLian looked at her with admiration. She sat down next to Jia Lian with a smile and said with a smile: "Usually you always say that I am incompetent, can't control people outside, and don't let me get involved in outside affairs. Now your subordinates Someone beat up your nanny, what do you say?"
How could Jia Lian not know what Sister Feng meant? Sure enough, this girl was still worried about her banning her from interfering in foreign affairs. If she had the slightest chance, , let’s talk about it.
In fact, Jia Lian didn't really confine her in the house. It was just that she was fearless at the time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was arrogant. If left undisciplined, it will definitely lead to trouble.
Nowadays, Sister Feng has suffered a lot of losses and has been trained by him for a few years. She has changed a lot.
Moreover, perhaps because of her growing power, this lady no longer clings to her old ways and begins to try to learn. Although this did not happen overnight, at least she learned to be humble and no longer as ignorant and arrogant as she once was.
Therefore, Jia Lian did not prevent Sister Feng from getting involved in any foreign affairs at this time. Otherwise, he would not have told her about the changes in the palace situation earlier.
But no matter what, this woman’s attempt to challenge his authority cannot be tolerated.
So Jia Lian glanced at her sideways and said coldly: "Oh? If I say that this matter is my intention, what will you say?"
"Ah, how is this possible..."
As expected, Sister Feng opened her mouth wide in shock, with a look of disbelief on her face.
After looking at the few confidant maids in the room besides him and his wife, Sister Feng came closer and said, "Did you really let them do it? You really did it. What about the Zhao brothers?" It’s not a misfortune. I heard from Zhao’s mother that the two brothers were not only beaten with bruises all over their bodies, but also had one of their hands and feet broken.
Zhao’s mother also said that she asked the doctor and it was not true. It was a simple fracture, but it was really crippled. If there is no miracle, I am afraid that it will never heal in my lifetime..."
As she said that, Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian with eyes full of awe.
I originally thought that it was the Zhao brothers who offended Zhaoer and others, so they were taught a lesson. Sister Feng also knew a thing or two about the nature of the two brothers. If Zhaoer collaborated with those who killed embryos, it would be very possible for him to hurt someone in a rage.
But if this is Jia Lian’s intention, then... no matter what the Zhao brothers say, they are also Jia Lian’s nannies, and they will be abolished as soon as he says they will be abolished?
Jia Lian looked at each other indifferently, but frowned in his heart.
Theoretically speaking, he only hinted at Zhao'er that he could cripple one of the Zhao brothers' hands, which meant that at most he could only cripple one hand. And it seems that Zhaoer and the others have done much more than that..
It would be reasonable to say that Zhaoer was impulsive on his own, but it would be impossible for his subordinates to accompany Zhaoer to be impulsive.
Moreover, they have not informed themselves in advance!
Thinking of this, Jia Lian stopped being careless. As the Lord, Jia Lian is confident that he has enough control over the people closest to and most trusted by his subordinates.
He did not doubt the loyalty of Zhaoer and others, and even somewhat guessed their intentions in doing so.
That’s why he took over the cause and effect in front of Sister Feng when he didn’t understand the whole picture.
