In the Rongguo Mansion compound, everyone finally dispersed.
The two maids, Xiao Que and Xiao Jixiang, also walked back happily.
Suddenly, a young boy jumped out from behind the three-foot-high potted crabapple flower.
"Xiao Jixiang, I heard that you received rewards, how much did you receive?"
Jia Huan stood in the middle of the road with his hands on his hips, his eyebrows squinting and his eyes furtive.
Xiaoque and Xiao Jixiang were both Aunt Zhao's maids. They were well aware of Jia Huan's temperament, and they became wary when they saw his malicious look.
The young Xiao Jixiang even hid the purse he had just opened for Sister Xiaoque to see behind his back. Then he glared at Jia Huan and said, "How much we have received is none of your business!"
Everyone in the house knew that the servants who were assigned to serve Aunt Zhao and her son had been unlucky for eight lifetimes.
They are not afraid of Jia Huan.
Jia Huan saw Xiao Jixiang hiding the money with sharp eyes, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurriedly stepped forward and said with a face: "Quickly, give me half..."
"No, this is the reward given to me by Master Lian, why should I give it to you!"
Little Jixiang is only nine years old this year, and is the youngest and most junior girl in the house.
But under the influence of his ears and eyes, he is not afraid of Jia Huan, his master.
Seeing him making unreasonable demands, his childish eyes widened even more, and his white and tender face was full of anger. Such a little round-faced girl is so cute even when she is angry.
It's just that cuteness is worthless in Jia Huan's eyes.
He immediately said angrily: "You don't know how to show appreciation, you are worthy of using that money. If you don't hand it over to me, you will see how I deal with you!"
If the soft one doesn't work, then the hard one will do.
Jia Huan felt that he had to come up with the master's money.
While speaking, she also glanced at the little magpie next to her.
As the eldest maid next to her aunt, he certainly knew that Xiao Que would definitely receive a bigger reward.
But he was only nine years old, and Xiao Que was fifteen or sixteen years old. He would definitely not be able to defeat him, so he only picked the soft persimmon Xiao Jixiang.
Anyway, he was used to bullying Xiao Jixiang, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.
Seeing that Xiao Que was interested and didn't interfere, he saw the opportunity and snatched Xiao Jixiang's wallet containing money.
"Give me!"
“No, it just can’t be done!
"
"Okay, you idiot, just wait for me..."
Jia Huan, who was knocked to the ground by Xiao Jixiang, suddenly started to curse.
Now it was not just a matter of whether he could get the money from the robbery, but it was also a matter of humiliation for his majestic master to be pushed to the ground by a little slave.
After he stood up, he saw Xiao Que and a little girl who was also passing by, laughing at him, and became even more furious.
Just when he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach Xiao Jixiang a lesson, firelight and voices came from the second door, and then he saw a large group of people walking in.
Seeing the leader, Jia Huan was instantly frightened and wanted to leave.
"stop."
Seeing Jia Lian and Heping'er, Xiao Que and other maids did not dare to neglect and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
When Jia Huan saw that he was discovered, he could only obediently step forward and clasp his fists: "I've seen Brother Lian..."
"What are you arguing about here?"
Upon hearing the question, before Jia Huan could cast a flattering look at Xiao Jixiang, a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, Xiao Jixiang had already loudly replied: "As for the second master, the third master Huan wants to steal my reward!"
Seeing that Jia Lian looked wrong, Jia Huan hurriedly explained: "No, no, I just saw that she got so much reward money, and I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to spend it all, so I wanted to help her spend it..."
As he said this, maybe he felt that he couldn't explain it, and his face turned red from holding back.
Ping'er, who was behind Jia Lian, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. And the women and maids led by Ping'er behind him all made mocking sounds.
They looked at the tall and heroic Jia Lian in front of them, and at the Jia Huan in front of them who was tiptoeing and rubbing his feet, and they all felt interesting in their hearts.
They are all men from the same house, how come they are so different? Well, maybe comparing the second master Lian with the third master Huan is a contempt and insult to the second master Lian.
He also robbed the little girl of the reward money, how could Mr. Kuihuan think of this!
Jia Lian was speechless when he first heard Xiao Jixiang's words.
But when I think about the situation of Aunt Zhao and her son in Rongguo Mansion, as well as Jia Huan's peeing, it's really his style.
Without saying anything, he turned around and said to Ping'er, "Give him two slings of money."
"yes."
Ping'er Yingying agreed, then turned around and took out two large bunches of money from the basket carried by the women.
They were all left over from before. Ping'er took them back on Wang Xifeng's order so that he could use them if there is a reward next time.
"Above Heaven"
"Thank you, second brother, thank you, sister Ping'er~"
When Jia Huan saw that Jia Lian wanted to give him money, his eyebrows came together in joy.
Speaking of which, he was a great man in the house, but he was very short of money.
For one thing, Aunt Zhao who raised him was greedy and stingy. Most of Jia Huan's money was saved by Aunt Zhao, saying that it would be used for his future wife.
Second, although Jia Huan is young, he has developed many bad habits early on.
Let’s not talk about spending money arbitrarily. He doesn’t have any money to spend arbitrarily.
The only thing he likes is that he likes to gamble with others. He thinks he is very smart and can win money from others, but most of the time he loses all the coins he has saved.
So many times, he didn't even have money to buy snacks when he went to school.
That's why they are jealous of small auspicious rewards. In his opinion, Xiao Jixiang was his aunt's slave and his slave, and asking her to give him money was a sign of respect for her.
How dare she not know how to appreciate her? After she goes back, she must ask her aunt to take care of her!
Ping'er has been with Wang Xifeng's housekeeper for many years, so he is naturally familiar with Jia Huan.
But Ping'er is not like other people who are sarcastic towards Jia Huan. In Ping'er's eyes, Jia Huan is just a child who has been taught bad things.
She used to be a servant and didn't say much, but now it seems that Jia Lian wants to discipline her, so after giving two ounces of money to Jia Huan, she also told her: "Take this money to play with your third sister and the others, but don't bully me anymore." Little girls, otherwise your second brother Lian will be angry."
"No way, it was Xiao Jixiang who bullied me. She pushed me down. Sister Ping'er didn't believe me and asked them."
Jia Huan, who lacked love and was ridiculed since childhood, had a crush on Ping'er, who was gentle, gentle and easy to treat others.
Hearing his soft words at this time, I was even more moved. Not wanting Ping'er to misunderstand, he immediately pointed at Xiao Que and the others and explained.
It's a pity that Xiaoque and others have long been disgusted with Aunt Zhao and her son, so they turned away with disdain when they saw this.
But Ping'er just smiled and stood beside Jia Lian.
Jia Lian originally wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that there was nothing to say.
Jia Huan was brought up like this. It would be impossible without Mrs. Wang's deliberate indulgence.
But what does this have to do with his big house?
correct? With such a crooked neck, he doesn't have the confidence or energy to do such a thankless task.
Moreover, Jia Lian knew that in a few years, when Jia Huan was a little older and had more "skills", he would be able to do harm to Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu and others.
Therefore, it is better to keep this little thing and let Mrs. Wang wait for the headache. It has nothing to do with him.
So he turned around and said to Ping'er, "You go back first, I'll go see the master."
After Ping'er agreed, he dedicated himself to seeing Jia Lian off, and then took the mothers-in-law back to Sister Feng's Children's Hospital.
And here, Jia Lian can easily see Jia Zheng.
Although Jia Zheng felt that Jia Lian's "Second Ancestral Temple" was a little too unconventional, but after hearing what Jia Lian said, he had many intentions. He could not object. He just said: "I'm afraid, the elders of the clan Objection.”
"It doesn't matter. In a few days, my nephew will invite the elders of the clan to discuss matters. If there are any problems, my nephew will solve them himself."
Jia Lian now has the title of clan leader and is already qualified to take charge of clan affairs with full authority.
The most important thing is that the head of the Jia family not only controls the management of the family's sacrificial fields, but also controls the distribution of interests for the branch clan members. Originally, the people in the clan did not have much room to oppose the clan leader.
Even if some people object, it is not a cause for concern now that he is a Marquis and is known to be a popular figure in front of Emperor Ning Kang.
On the other hand, if Jia Mu asked, she would have to organize her explanation.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jia Mu sent someone to tell Jia Lian to come over.
Jia Lian said goodbye to Jia Zheng. When passing by the west courtyard of Rongxi Hall, he met a woman on the back porch.
"I've met my aunt."
Jia Lian stood on one side of the road and saluted slightly.
In fact, with Jia Lian's current status, it is not an exaggeration to even stand and let Aunt Zhao come to salute first.
But seeing as she was Jia Zheng's concubine, she was an elder, and Jia Lian had always maintained a humble and polite image, so she didn't care about this.
As for Aunt Zhao, her eyes brightened when she saw Jia Lian.
He came to Jia Lian in three steps and two steps at a time, returned the gift in a similar manner to Jia Lian, and then said with a smile: "Brother Lian is now a Marquis, and you still have so many gifts... By the way, I haven’t congratulated Brother Lian on being made a Marquis!"
"Auntie, you're welcome."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, haha, I just heard from my short-lived boy that you gave him two ounces of money?"
"It's just a little pocket money, nothing."
"No, two ounces of money is nothing in Brother Lian's eyes, but in our eyes, it's almost my monthly salary..."
Aunt Zhao's face is full of smiles. Coupled with her peach-blossom face and good looks, she also feels a bit like a beautiful girl with a spring breeze blowing on her face.
However, he was not able to seduce Jia Lian.
Moreover, Jia Lian was also confused as to why Aunt Zhao was so close to him.
But it probably wasn't to seduce him.
According to Jia Lian's understanding, although Aunt Zhao has a crude and even stupid character, she should still be quite loyal to Jia Zheng.
This can be supported by the fact that I can't find any information about Fengyue about this woman from my memory.
You know, before he came to this world, Jia Lian was a man of good graces and was not afraid of meat and vegetables.
Any woman who has three points of beauty is eager to swallow her up.
However, Jia Lian, who was thinking like this at this time, also found some of his original self from his memory. He did not dare to carry out many of the stupid woman's coveting scenes because he did not get Aunt Zhao's response.
"If you have anything to say, aunt, please tell me. I have to go see the old lady." Jia Lian's eyes were slightly cold and he took a step back.
Aunt Zhao also saw Jia Lian's impatience, so she smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's about your brother Huan.
Your brother Huan is not as talented as you. He has been impatient since he was a child, and he will definitely not have much potential in the future.
It's just that he is your cousin after all, Brother Lian. I just thought, for this reason, if you can win over him in the future, it will not only be a great honor for him, but also the master and I will be grateful for the rest of our lives. Your kindness. "
In Aunt Zhao's eyes, Jia Zheng is naturally very powerful.
But Jia Zheng is a noble civil servant. In the past, whenever she asked Jia Zheng to take care of Jia Huan, Jia Zheng would take the opportunity to ask how Jia Huan's studies were and whether he studied diligently.
Well, what can she say about this? She doesn't know shit herself, how can she possibly teach Jia Huan?
As for Jia Huan, although he has been studying for one or two years, Aunt Zhao can also guess what he has learned specifically from his usual appearance.
So I can only make vague remarks.
At this time, Jia Zheng would snort: When he reads the book thoroughly, he will naturally have a bright future without my support. If you don't study carefully, don't talk about pulling him down in the future. If I don't kill him, it will be his fate.
How dare Aunt Zhao mention this in front of Jia Zheng again.
Knowing that Mrs. Wang would not give Jia Huan anything good if the family separated in the future, she was always worried about her son's future.
This is why she is saving money so hard now.
Now there is a Jia Lian in the Jia family, not to mention a higher official than Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian is not as aloof, pedantic and hard to talk to as Jia Zheng.
Therefore, when she heard from Jia Huan tonight that Jia Lian had given him two slings of money, she immediately came up with an idea and told Jia Huan that when she saw Jia Lian in the future, she should behave well and obediently.
With this idea, now that she met Jia Lian, she naturally wanted to have sex with Jia Lian.
Hearing what Aunt Zhao said, Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and looked down at her.
Although she looked down upon this woman to some extent, her attitude of being a parent who loves her son and has far-reaching intentions is still affirmative.
But how old is Jia Huan now? Is he ten years old?
Isn't it too early for such a little kid to be busy looking for a way out for him instead of teaching him well, correcting his temper first, and then letting him study hard?
Well, maybe Aunt Zhao doesn’t know how to teach Jia Huan.
He heard Wang Xifeng and Heping'er say that Jia Huan was very timid in front of others, but in front of Aunt Zhao, he treated Aunt Zhao with the attitude of "a husband will obey his son even if he dies".
Shaking his head, Jia Lian responded casually: "My aunt is serious, we are all a family, why should we be like this."
"Hahaha, I know that Brother Lian is a warm-hearted person and will not ignore his brothers..."
"If there's nothing else, Auntie, I'll leave first."
Jia Lian knew very well that Aunt Zhao didn't understand etiquette, so he was too lazy to argue with her. He said goodbye, ignored her look of reluctance, and walked to Rongqing Hall.
After spending a lot of words, he explained his intention of building the Zhongyi Temple to Jia Mu. Jia Mu had no intention of forcibly interfering with him. She just asked him to explain it clearly to the elders of the clan, and then said a few words of concern to him. Let him go back and rest.
It is worth mentioning that Jia Mu still asked Yuanyang to send him off.
Jia Lian had not paid attention before.
Now that I think about it carefully, I don't know since when, every time I saw Jia Mu, if necessary, Jia Mu would usually ask the mandarin duck to see him off.
With Jia Mu's shrewdness and understanding of the ways of the world, it would never be accidental.
Could it be that she saw that he was interested in Yuanyang, so she made it happen on purpose?
Or does she feel that she has not been close to her since she was a child, so she wants to use the best maid around her to make up for it, and also to capture his filial piety? Or perhaps, what she has the best is Yuanyang and Xiren.
Among them, the attacker gave it to Jia Baoyu, so the other one was decided to be given to him to show fairness?
If it is the first two, if it is the last consideration, Jia Lian just wants to say that it is not necessary.
Because Xiren was already his.
