The promotion of a child to an official position is a great event for any family!
Therefore, Jia Zheng ordered Jia Lian to go in and report the good news to Jia Mu, which was a necessary procedure.
Jia Lian took all his things directly to Rongqing Hall.
Along the way, whether it was the servants in the outer courtyard or the servants and maids after entering the inner courtyard, they all surrounded him as if they were curious. The clever one even said congratulations to Qian'er.
Even if Jia Lian didn't pay much attention to them, they were all smiling. After Jia Lian and others passed by, they were still praising them loudly.
They all knew from their posture that Mr. Lian had been promoted again!
How can this be described? It seems that if the eldest master is in trouble, the second master Lian will be able to seize the title! Who knew that Mr. Lian could be promoted without relying on his title? Isn't this a good thing both internally and externally?
Everyone knows that Mr. Lian is really going to be prosperous!
So let alone Mr. Lian ignoring them, even if he spat in their faces, they would still accept it with a smile.
Jia Lian was not pretending to be cold, but he was trying to please too many people with a smear on his face, and it was quite tiring to give him a good look, so he simply ignored them. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why high-ranking officials like to keep a straight face.
When I walked to Jia Mu's main courtyard and came out of the hallway, I saw two girls, one big and one little girl, talking in the corridor.
The older one has a tall figure, a slim waist, delicate features, and a beautiful appearance, which is impressive.
The younger one was wearing deerskin boots, blue cotton trousers, and a peach-red dress. She was very well dressed.
Although she was a small and delicate little girl who had not yet fully grown, she was very articulate at this time and kept talking to Xi Ren. It was not until Xi Ren hurriedly came up to say hello because he saw her that she replied. Looking over the shoulder.
At this time, they were facing each other head-on, and Jia Lian could see her appearance clearly.
A small round face, pink and smooth, white teeth and bright lips, above the bridge of the small nose, there is a pair of clear and big eyes, as if there is a light of cunning wisdom!
When she saw Jia Lian, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then she hurriedly ran forward, bowed politely, and said hello: "I have met the second brother Lian."
Raising her head, she saw that Jia Lian was still looking at her with his eyebrows raised. She suddenly said unhappy: "We haven't seen each other for two years, and second brother Lian doesn't recognize me anymore? I'm Xiangyun..."
As he said that, Xiangyun raised his hands, brushed the bangs from his forehead with one hand, and pulled his face with the other hand, trying to make his face bigger so that Jia Lian could see clearly who she was.
Jia Lian smiled and finally said with a smile: "It turns out to be Yun'er. She has grown so big after not seeing her for two years. When she saw her at first sight, she almost didn't recognize her."
Xiangyun snorted, showing that he was not satisfied with Jia Lian's statement.
Jia Lian walked down with a smile and asked, "When did you arrive at home? Why didn't I know?"
"I arrived yesterday afternoon..."
Xiangyun said casually and asked Jia Lian: "I heard them say, brother Lian, you have been promoted... Hey, are these your official uniforms and official hats..."
Xiangyun was a little girl and had no taboos. When she saw the official uniforms and other items carried by the maids at the back, she stepped forward to check them out.
Xiren felt something was wrong and called out quickly.
Xiangyun also noticed the rudeness and retracted his hand. However, seeing that Jia Lian didn't seem to take any blame, he smiled sweetly at him and said, "Old lady, they are all waiting for you in the house. Let's go in quickly!"
Jia Lian nodded and followed her footsteps.
Xiangyun originally lived in Jia's house for a long time. Later, the wife of the original historian died of illness, and Xiangyun went back to observe mourning, so he didn't see Jia Lian when he first came. Later, when Xiangyun came over, Jia Lian went out again, and he never saw her.
So in Jia Lian's impression, Xiangyun was just a six or seven-year-old little girl. Now she was two or three years older...and she was still a little girl.
Before he even entered the house, a group of chattering maids and sisters came to greet him, and they also circled around him curiously.
The official seal and waist badge were all new to them because they had never seen these things before.
"Bring it over quickly and let me take a look."
Jia Mu walked down from her seat and greeted Yingchun and others without waiting for Jia Lian to come forward to greet them. valley
The maids hurriedly brought the things up to show Jia Mu...
In the hall, Jia Baoyu looked at the group of common people. Sitting on the stool, he felt bored and lonely, so he turned his head to talk to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, your illness is better. You have not been here for more than ten days. We But I'm all thinking of you.
You can go to my room later, I’ve left something good for you, someone else gave it to me during the New Year..."
Daiyu listened and pretended not to hear. When Jia Lian came over, she stood up and bowed obediently.
"Sister Lin is back too. By the way, how are you and your uncle's health? Are you feeling better these days?"
Hearing Jia Lian's question, Daiyu nodded and said, "I would also like to thank my second brother Lian for the ginseng he sent us years ago. My father and I ate some and both felt better."
"That's nothing. If it's really useful, I still have some there. I'll ask the maid to bring it to you later."
Jia Lian smiled casually, found an empty stool and sat down.
Even knowing that Jia Lian was very generous to her, Daiyu couldn't help but feel moved at this moment.
According to his father, the ginseng given to them by Jia Lian, especially the two high-quality red ginseng plants, might not be able to buy even one for a few hundred taels of silver outside. Even his father thought it was valuable. Yes, he said he wanted to know what Jia Lian had given him, but he must not have accepted it at that time.
Just something like this, now just listening to her saying it is effective, I still want to give it to her...
Daiyu only felt that Jia Lian's kindness to her was a little unreal.
She knew that Jia Lian himself was not very wealthy, Lian's second sister-in-law was very tight-lipped, and his father was not good to him, so even if he didn't need this kind of good ginseng, he could still exchange it for money. It could be exchanged for a lot of money. .
Seeing Daiyu's appearance, Jia Baoyu was shocked.
It's over, it's over, when did Sister Lin become secular and buy her off with just a few ginseng roots?
Is it so difficult to maintain a pure body in a troubled world? Even the body of a pure daughter like Sister Lin, who is rare to find in the world, has been polluted!
No, I have to rescue the pure and innocent Sister Lin.
"If Sister Lin wants to use ginseng, the old lady has everything in her house. I will ask her to bring some to Sister Lin tomorrow, so that Brother Lian doesn't have to spend money. He has all these things that are hard-earned..."
"Who said I want to use it! Even if you ask for it, I won't want it."
Daiyu glared at Jia Baoyu. I'm still waiting for you to beg, and I don't want others to know that I'm frivolous, so I just came back here and asked for this and that. In this way, even if the old lady is willing to give, she doesn't mean it.
Daiyu and Jia Baoyu are about the same age, both are still young, and there is no relationship between men and women at this time. Most of them are just children playing together, and whether they are compatible.
Originally, she was far away from her hometown and relatives, so she was sensitive at heart. Apart from Jia's mother, the only person she often saw in this mansion was Jia Baoyu, who greeted her with greetings. Originally, she recognized Jia Baoyu as her cousin.
But until Baochai came last year, Jia Baoyu immediately took away most of his attention from her and went to please Baochai every day. This made Daiyu very unhappy and even suspected that Jia Baoyu was not sincere in his kindness to her before. When she sees someone who is "better than her", she abandons her.
As for Jia Baoyu, a little kid who is only eleven years old this year, he is used to being arrogant and domineering at home. He doesn't know how to treat others. Even if he is more attentive to his good-looking daughter, how can he guess Daiyu's thoughts?
Every time I offend someone, get angry for a while, and try to please someone for a while, I can't quite get the point right.
It would be okay if there was no example from Jia Lian, and Daiyu would gradually be able to think more clearly. It's a pity that Jia Lian, this golden cousin, has done so well that Daiyu's expectations for Jia Baoyu have been infinitely higher. Compared with this, it is natural that Jia Baoyu has more bad habits.
So, every time Daiyu got angry, she would involuntarily take Jia Lian to her. When she first came to Beijing, Jia Baoyu's busy and rude behavior was thought to be Jia Baoyu's nature. What happened later was just a disguise, so she regretted that she should not forgive him, and she regretted that she should not forgive him. You shouldn't talk to him.
Such an unpredictable Daiyu makes Jia Baoyu, who really wants to please her, often have one head and two heads!
For example, at this time, Jia Baoyu clearly wanted to please Daiyu, but Daiyu thought that Jia Baoyu was reminding her that she was not as favored as him by Jia Mu, so much so that she had to rely on him to beg for a ginseng!
Because she didn't want to pay attention to Jia Baoyu and didn't want others to see that she was unhappy, she walked up to Jia Lian and asked, "Didn't Brother Lian say he went to the border to lead troops? Why did he bring so many ginseng back... I Listen to what Tanchun and the others say."
Jia Lian looked at Jia Baoyu and felt inexplicably happy.
Just one Lin Daiyu can torture you to the point of death. You still want to miss Qingwen. You little brat, you really don’t know how high the sky is.
