Fengjie's Courtyard is located northeast of Jia Mu's Courtyard, so Yuanyang sent Jia Lian directly out of the back door of Rongqing Hall.
It was already dusk, and Yuanyang, as the lantern holder, was supposed to be walking in front to light the way, but because of something on her mind, she gradually stopped walking.
Jia Lian turned around and looked at Yuanyang, who was walking slowly with his head lowered.
Tall figure, slender waist, slender shoulders, duck-oval face, high bridge of nose... she is a standard beauty.
Under the reflection of the lights and twilight, even the slight freckles on his face were invisible at this time, making him look even more beautiful than usual.
Perhaps noticing that he had stopped, Yuanyang also raised her head and saw Jia Lian looking at her. She suddenly felt her face was hot and her hands and feet felt like they had nowhere to rest.
This feeling made Yuanyang very embarrassed. She tried hard to calm her beating heart, but couldn't help herself for a long time because she couldn't help but wonder if Jia Lian had figured out her feelings.
Jia Lian laughed and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Yuanyang?"
Yuanyang took a deep breath, raised his head, and said seriously: "It's nothing. Second Master, let's go..."
While talking, he turned on the lantern in his hand and led Jia Lian from the side to the front.
Jia Lian was so happy. After appreciating the front, it was also a good choice to appreciate the graceful curves at the back.
But not far away, a group of people came in front, and it was Wang Xifeng who was rushing to Jia Mu's house.
According to the rules of Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and others can only go back and eat by themselves after Jia Mu has eaten.
"Hey, why is this Sister Yuanyang? Why do I bother you to see her off in person..."
Wang Xifeng came forward and realized that the maid holding the lamp was actually a mandarin duck, and she immediately laughed.
Before Yuanyang saw Wang Xifeng, he had already calmed down all his emotions, returned to his calm and generous manner, and said to Sister Feng: "He is the master, and we are maids, who should not be given away."
With that said, he handed the lantern to Qingwen who also came forward, "But since you are here, I will go back first."
After bowing to Sister Feng and Jia Lian each, Yuanyang turned around and left.
"If you still don't keep up, follow the mandarin duck girl and don't let her fall."
Sister Feng hurriedly called a maid with a lantern to follow her, then looked back at Jia Lian and said with a smile: "You go back first. If you are not hungry, wait until I come back to eat. I have something to tell you..."
After Jia Lian nodded, Wang Xifeng looked at Qingwen.
The little hooves who wanted to die had been trying to follow her here before, but now that they saw her second master going back, he stood over again, obviously not planning to follow her anymore.
Relying on Wang Xifeng's previous temperament, she would have already cursed so hard that Qingwen couldn't find her mother, but she couldn't hold it back at this time.
He also wanted to send someone to follow him, so he said to Jia Lian: "You are going to take office tomorrow, so don't go out to practice tonight. Take a good rest and you will be energetic tomorrow.
I'll ask the kitchen to boil hot water for you. You go back and let the girls take care of you. Take a bath first. Maybe I'll be back. "
After Jia Lian came back, just a few days after the New Year, he began to practice Qigong in the back of his study every day again. An hour every night, then come back to take a shower, then accompany her to have a look at Jia She, and then come back to sleep...
At first, Wang Xifeng suspected that he went out to meet the two foreign beauties as an excuse. Later, he used the excuse to go over and take a look, but he did not lie to her.
The small courtyard was now almost turned into a martial arts training ground by them, with all kinds of swords, guns, swords and halberds, and a few grown men were beating you to the death late at night.
Not only that, they also set up two targets in the long and narrow hall behind the courtyard. She went there that day and shot a few arrows.
She originally thought she was not a weak woman, but she could only draw the smallest bow, and she had to stand very close to barely hit the target. But the woman named Aqi could stand twice as far away as her and hit the target easily. She was so angry that she lost all interest, dropped her bow and left.
Jia Lian nodded and did not refuse Sister Feng's proposal.
Then Wang Xifeng became happy, gave Qingwen one last look, and left with several others.
"Are you really not afraid of your second grandma?"
With only the two of them left, Jia Lian lowered his head and looked at Qingwen, who had long been eager to go home with him.
"I didn't do anything wrong. What am I afraid of her for?"
Qingwen didn't understand what he meant, and then she remembered that she was glared at by Sister Feng just now, and said nonchalantly: "I am the second master's... maid, shouldn't I follow the second master? Besides, the second grandma doesn't either What are you talking about?"
Jia Lian looked at her and said in his heart, if Wang Xifeng hadn't changed a little now, it would be difficult for Qingwen to live a long life under Wang Xifeng...
So he bent down and picked her up, scratched her nose hard, and then said: "Even if you are mine, she is your second grandmother after all, so what does it do to you to offend her? You just need to be dealt with." "
This was not the first time Qingwen was hugged by Jia Lian, so she cooperated very cooperatively by holding Jia Lian's neck with one hand and holding the lantern steady with the other.
Hearing this, he smiled and replied: "How could I have offended her? I am usually very respectful and respectful to her. Otherwise, how could the Second Mistress take me with her wherever she goes?"
It’s not like I’m going to ignore the second master just to please her, then I’m afraid you’ll be unhappy again. "
Qingwen pursed her lips and strongly defended her behavior.
"That makes sense!" Jia Lian laughed.
"If not, then you will be responsible for pleasing me when I am at home. When I am not at home, you will try your best to please her. How about that?"
Qingwen's mouth pursed even higher, and she looked at Jia Lian with bitterness and hatred, because after listening to Jia Lian's words, why did she feel that her status was so low that she could only survive by pleasing others!
But he felt relieved immediately, nodded, and buried his head in the crook of Jia Lian's neck.
Being able to be carried and walked by the second master is her unique privilege!
When they arrived at the courtyard, Qingwen took the initiative to jump out of Jia Lian's arms, and then began to summon Xiang Ling.
"Second Master needs to take a bath. You go in and find some clothes for him to change. I'll ask them to put hot water in for Second Master. Hurry up..."
After Xiang Ling responded, she went to the corridor, called out the few rough servants in the courtyard, and led them to carry buckets of hot water to the bathroom.
The big bathtub was soon half filled. Qingwen stretched out her hand to test that the water temperature was suitable, then kicked out all the other girls, leaving only her and Xiangling to undress and untie Jia Lian, and then helped him into the bathtub. .
Serving Jia Lian to bathe has become the exclusive domain of her and Xiang Ling. This is something that Wang Xifeng has tacitly agreed to, so the two of them cooperate very skillfully.
Xiangling took a handkerchief and wiped Jia Lian's body, while she stood outside the tub and squeezed Jia Lian's shoulders carefully.
When she realized that Jia Lian was being squeezed very happily by her, she smiled and discussed: "Second Master, I have something to ask you..."
"tell me the story……"
"I have an uncle and brother who are living outside the country and have nowhere to live, so I want to ask the second master to buy him into our home. No matter what he does, he can have a livelihood."
Jia Lian turned around and glanced at Qingwen, "Your uncle and brother?"
"Well, when I was a child, I lived with my aunt, brother and sister-in-law. Later, they sold me to the Lai family, and I was able to come to this mansion."
Jia Lian frowned when he heard this.
She knew that Qingwen was bought by the Lai family from outside, but she had never asked her about her life experience in detail. Now that she heard her talking about it, she couldn't help but ask.
But Qingwen shook her head and said that she couldn't remember anything about her parents when she was a child. She only remembered living with her brother and sister-in-law. When she got older, her brother and sister-in-law sold her to the Lai family for a few taels of silver.
After hearing this, Jia Lian asked: "They have sold you, why do you still help them?"
"They also had no food to eat and they sold it to me when they couldn't survive. I have stopped arguing with them a long time ago."
Qingwen said generously.
In fact, she was sold by her brother and sister-in-law when she was less than ten years old. She was very angry and angry at that time.
But who would have known that her fortune would turn around, and she would become prosperous through it, and the resentment in her heart towards her brother and sister-in-law would naturally dissipate.
Not long ago, her brother sent someone to ask her for a way to make a living. He said many good things to her, and she lost all her anger. She also wanted to show her snobbish brother and sister-in-law how powerful she was now, so she agreed to help them get into Jia's house.
How wonderful the Jia family is. Even if you are just a servant, you will not have to worry about food and clothing, and you can also receive a monthly salary. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded with silver during the holidays. It is simply the best job in the world. .
Jia Lian also had some impression of Qingwen's brother and sister-in-law...
Not to mention her brother, the most important thing is her sister-in-law, who is known as the "most beautiful girl" in the Red Mansion.
But he didn't care about this, he just saw another advantage in Qingwen.
Although he is usually sharp-tongued and harsh with others, he is still a person who misses old friendships.
Moreover, when I heard her talk about her life experience, she was homeless and had no fixed place to live when she was a child. Therefore, her prickly shell was probably developed just to protect herself, and she felt a sense of love and affection in her heart. Heart.
"What would your brother do?"
When Qingwen heard that Jia Lian wanted to agree, she immediately said: "He knows how to butcher, and this is what he has been doing for a living!"
When she was happy, she stopped massaging her hands and subconsciously hugged Jia Baoyu's neck.
But he didn't know that she was standing outside the big bathtub. In this way, Jia Lian's head was resting on her chest.
However, for the convenience of serving, she took off her coat in the bathroom. There was no extra clothes to block her. The tightness of the restraints and the soft elasticity of her bulging breasts made Jia Lian feel a little wonderful, so he smiled and agreed: " In this case, I will talk to your second grandma later and ask your brother to sign the contract and help in the big kitchen from now on."
"Hehe, thank you, Master, that's so nice~!"
Qingwen suddenly became happy, and quickly massaged Jia Lian's shoulders with her ten slender and nimble fingers.
