[Everyone, I know that Red Mansion has to write an emotional drama, but this is not in Jinling, so... I will try to compress the plot as much as possible and let the protagonist return to Beijing as soon as possible]
"The master is back. I have to go there and talk to you when I get back!"
Seeing Jia Lian running out, Wang Xifeng quickly chased him out: "Hey... change your clothes first!"
Seeing Jia Lian running back again, Wang Xifeng sarcastically said: "I thought you would gain experience after traveling far away, but I didn't expect you are still so irritable!"
Jia Lian pinched her butt and said with a bad smile: "I'll deal with you when I come back soon!"
After changing his clothes, Jia Lian rushed to Jia Zheng's office.
In fact, Jia Zheng also learned that Jia Lian was back, so he hurriedly took leave and returned to the mansion.
After the trial of Jinling's case was completed, the details were sent back to the court and caused a stir, but Jia Lian didn't even send back the letter, which made Jia Zheng very angry.
"Master, Second Master Lian is here!"
In the study, Jia Zheng sat at the top, his expression visibly gloomy.
"Let him in!"
After a while, Jia Lian opened the curtain and entered the room, came to Jia Zheng and saluted respectfully.
"It took you half a month to go to Jinling. Why is there no news at all?" Jia Zheng asked sternly.
"When my nephew left, the case had already been concluded. He thought it was over, so he didn't write back!"
Of course, things were not that simple. It was Jia Lian who just followed Xue Pan and ignored Jia Zheng's explanation.
As he said, the cases have been concluded, and it doesn't matter if there is no news.
"fool……"
The severe scolding made Jia Lian feel as if he had been struck by lightning. He was so frightened that he knelt down and apologized: "Master, please calm down. My nephew understands his mistake!"
Without asking Jia Lian to get up, Jia Zheng asked: "Tell me honestly, what did you do when you went to Jinling!"
"If you dare to hide anything, you will not be spared!"
Jia Lian was really frightened. He quickly changed what Wang Xifeng said just now and said it to Jia Zheng.
After listening, Jia Zheng's expression became indifferent, but the anger in his heart subsided a little.
He also discovered that Zhu Jinghong had a good impression of the Jia family, which made him have to understand the key.
After taking care of the family for these years, Jia Zheng is no longer the scholar he once was. He knows that this world is all about interests and there will be no love without reason.
"Go and ask the eldest master to come over!" Jia Zheng said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
After about ten minutes, the eldest man of Rongguo Mansion, Jia She, came over, looking exhausted.
Glancing at Jia Lian who was kneeling on the ground, Jia She didn't care much and sat directly on a chair nearby.
"What's the matter?" Jia She looked at his brother.
"Brother, this is what happened..."
After a detailed explanation, Jia Zhengsui asked: "Why do you think the Thirteenth Master is taking care of me like this?"
Unexpectedly, Jia She replied calmly: "The inside story? Is the matter so complicated? The Thirteenth Master is only fifteen years old now!"
The implication of this is that Zhu Jinghong does whatever he wants at a young age and there is no need to interpret too much.
"As for the medicine they send, it's just for Brother Ruhai's sake and has nothing to do with our family!"
Not to mention, Jia She's analysis really hit Zhu Jinghong's idea, but Jia Zheng didn't believe it.
Jia Zheng was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Brother, what happened in Jinling recently, I can't tell whether the Thirteenth Master is wrong!"
Standing up from the chair, Jia She said coldly: "Second brother, I advise you not to worry about this. It's better not to interfere with the affairs in the palace!"
After saying that, he walked directly out of the study without stopping, leaving Jia Lian stunned.
When did my father act so resolutely?
In fact, Jia She guessed what his brother meant and thought that the prince had instructed Zhu Jinghong to show his favor to the Jia family. After all, his eldest daughter Yuan Chun was the prince's concubine.
Four years ago, Crown Princess Lu Shisi died of illness. Now Jia Zhengcun has the desire to help his daughter straighten up, and then follow the prince's wishes to revitalize the family, which makes sense.
But Jia She didn't think so. Since the inheritance of the royal family from Yizong, heads were killed every time.
The Jia family has already missed it once, which has led to the current situation of one family and two countries. Jia She really doesn't want to get involved in these things anymore.
In Ning Rong's Second Mansion, being a wealthy and idle man was enough in his opinion.
"It seems... I have to go find Brother Jing!" Jia Zheng thought to himself.
………………
"Girl, these are sent by the boy outside. They are all high-quality supplements..."
Hearing Zijuan's joyful voice, Lin Daiyu woke up quietly, then propped herself up and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Who sent these things?"
Zicuckoo replied while taking care of it: "It was a reward from the Thirteenth Master, and the Second Master Lian brought it from the Jinling Palace!"
"Thirteenth Master?" Daiyu said. This was the second time he heard this title.
The last time I heard about Zhu Jinghong, he was the one who labeled the Xue family as a bully, which made Lin Daiyu think that although he was a direct descendant of the royal family, he was a villain who bullied men and dominated women.
But now this "evil man" suddenly gave her medicine, which made Daiyu very puzzled.
"Go and ask Brother Lian why the Thirteenth Master gave you the medicine?"
Although she felt it was unnecessary, now that her master had spoken, Zijuan agreed.
"Sister Lin?"
As soon as Jia Baoyu entered the house, Daiyu laughed and cursed: "What's the noise about?"
"I heard that my sister's place was busy, so I came over to take a look. Why is my sister alone?"
Of course Daiyu was not the only one inside and outside the room, but all the servants were ignored by Baoyu.
"It's not busy here, go find someone else to play with!" Daiyu lay back again.
Baoyu came closer and asked, "We just finished eating, why did my sister lie down again?"
"I'm tired and want to take a rest. Don't bother me!" Daiyu closed her eyes again.
Seeing that Daiyu had no energy to play with herself, Jia Baoyu sat aside and saw several large boxes placed next to her.
"These are all... medicinal materials?"
Sitting on the chair, Jia Baoyu asked the little girl Xue Yan the tea, "How did my sister find these things?"
Seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't answer, Xue Yan explained: "Is it a reward from the Thirteenth Master?"
"Did the Thirteenth Master reward him?" Jia Baoyu was particularly surprised.
"What medicinal materials were rewarded?"
"They are all high-quality nourishing medicinal materials. I heard from the servant that they are better than those in our house. We girls can have enough of these for a year!"
Hearing Xue Yan's show off, Jia Baoyu felt a little angry and immediately said: "What's so great...I will give Sister Lin more good things in the future!"
The room was quiet for a while, and soon Zijuan came back from Jia Lian and told the whole story.
"So it's to praise Uncle Lin!" Jia Baoyu muttered, feeling relieved for some reason.
Lin Daiyu also woke up at this time, and heard that she was given the medicine to praise her father. The so-called "no reward for no merit" no longer existed.
I saw Daiyu get up from the bed, and then said: "Keep some of these medicines, and send the rest to the ancestors for disposal!"
"yes!"
"Sister, you've got to think about it. How about I go out for a walk with you?"
Lin Daiyu tilted her head and smiled: "Second brother, you were punished just a few days ago, and now you are only thinking about having fun, so be careful and you will be punished by your uncle again!"
"The master is outside. We just don't go out. How could he know..."
"Besides, I brought a few books with me. When the master saw me, he said it was stuffy in the house, so I went outside to read!"
After saying all these nonsense, Jia Baoyu came closer and whispered: "Sister, speaking of reading, I got a few strange books recently, which are very interesting... Do you want to read them?"
"What strange book?" Daiyu asked curiously.
"Let's go...just follow me and you'll find out!"
