In the afternoon of that day, Jia Lian went to the Bingma Si Yamen to make the handover, and then began to prepare for matters related to going south.
As for Shenji Camp, Jia Lian doesn't have much energy to take care of it now. He had only visited the headquarters of Shenji Camp after the Great Court Meeting before, and after getting to know the main generals and people in charge, he basically didn't care much about the affairs there.
Although in his plan, understanding and reforming the fire equipment of the Wei Kingdom will be an important task for him in the future, but he is not in a hurry. He has to come back from Jiangnan anyway.
When I returned home in the evening and entered the East Crossing Hospital, Liu Xianglian came to report.
"Have you settled all your family matters?"
"I reported back to the Marquis that everything has been taken care of. I also bothered Brother Zhao and the others to arrange a place for me in this mansion. From now on, I will live in the mansion."
Liu Xianglian was naturally handsome, but now she has lost her cynical and prodigal attitude and changed into a simple and close-fitting outfit. While showing some ability, she looks more masculine and heroic.
Although Liu Xianglian consciously changed her appearance without his instructions, Jia Lian was naturally very satisfied. He nodded and said, "I heard from Baoyu and Lai Shangrong that you also have a property in Beijing. In fact, there is no need to move to the mansion. Just come over and order it someday."
Liu Xianglian's family was poor, but it was also a poor family. It was said that there were two or three servants serving the family. When I moved to Dongkua Yuan, I could only live in a row house for people to live in. Naturally, the conditions were not the same as having someone to serve me at home.
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Marquis, but I have neither elders nor wives or children at home, so I really have nothing to worry about. Why not move here and train with Brother Zhang and the others every day? This will not only enhance the relationship with the brothers, but also Always at your beck and call."
Liu Xianglian saw it very clearly.
Not only did Jia Lian possess the two qualities of holding the palm seal of the Western Army and Horses Division and the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion, but he was also often entrusted with important tasks by the emperor and went out to the capital to handle affairs. It can be seen that the Holy Scroll is growing.
The most rare thing is that Jia Lian is still so young and has just been ennobled, so there is a vacancy around him.
Since he had this opportunity and was recruited by Jia Lian at this time, he would be really stupid if he could not seize the opportunity to gain Jia Lian's trust and reliance.
Therefore, let alone his wandering around, even if you really have any concerns, you have to put them aside for the time being and focus on Jia Lian's side.
"Very good, that being the case, I will not break the promise I made to you that day. From today on, you will be my personal guard, the third deputy captain. Well, let's do it this way, you were recruited from the Soldiers and Horses Division More than ten personal guards will be handed over to you from now on.
If there is more, I won’t explain it to you. I only want to say one thing. I, Jia Lian, will never treat my own people badly, let alone my brothers. So, don’t be afraid that you will have nothing to do with me in the future. Just be afraid that you will not be able to do anything wrong. Things get done, got it? "
Jia Lian patted Liu Xianglian on the shoulder and found that he was a little taller than Liu Xianglian. Yes, his appearance is not as good as his, his height is a little different, and his figure is weaker than his, not to mention his status and status. In this way, he doesn't have to worry too much about this subordinate stealing his limelight in the future.
Liu Xianglian didn't know what her Marquis was thinking now. He was very excited at this time. When Jia Lian's palm touched his shoulder, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said seriously: "I understand, from now on Finally, thank you Lord Marquis for your support and cultivation!"
"Hehehe, get up. By the way, get ready. Early tomorrow morning, I will hold a banquet in the hall here and invite Xue Pan. When the time comes, you and he will toast a few glasses of wine and apologize. From now on Forget it between you and the Xue family.
Do you have any opinion on this matter? "
Liu Xianglian naturally had no doubt about this and nodded in agreement.
So Jia Lian ordered people to go to Xue's house to invite Xue Pan to a banquet tomorrow, and then went to see Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng told him the news, saying that he had decided to invite the imperial concubine to the palace on August 15th this year, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, to go home to visit her relatives.
"August 15th?"
It's only the first month now, and there's still a little more than half a year until the Mid-Autumn Festival. In fact, Jia Lian wanted to invite Yuanchun back home to visit her relatives as soon as possible, because in that way, Daiyu, Baochai and others could move into the Grand View Garden as soon as possible.
The Grand View Garden is incomplete without the Twelve Golden Hairpins.
However, when I think about it, the Grand View Garden has not yet been fully constructed and properly arranged. It will take at least two or three months to be fully prepared.
Secondly, please ask Yuanchun to go home. You really need a good time. Counting this way, only the Mid-Autumn Festival is the best day.
Anyway, my trip back to Beijing will be at least in April or May. If I prepare for two or three months, the grand event of the Yuanchun Provincial Provincial Party will be successfully held.
Therefore, he agreed with Jia Zheng's decision.
So the uncle and nephew divided their work again, Jia Lian went to prepare his own affairs, while Jia Zheng also continued to prepare the garden and arranged to write a memorial to invite Yuanchun to return home.
The next day, Liu Xianglian's apology to Xue Pan went smoothly.
Xue Pan himself is a big man, a person who only drinks and talks about loyalty. With Jia Lian as the peacemaker, and Jia Lian inviting Jia Baoyu and Lai Shangrong to testify, Liu Xianglian not only smiled and seemed fine after toasting him three glasses of wine seriously, but also spoke like a good brother. Liu Xianglian shouted.
Even Jia Baoyu didn't like Liu Xianglian's "condescension" to be Jia Lian's personal guard, but he was happy because Liu Xianglian could be stationed in Jia's house and he could see her often, so he apologized. Wine, a very happy ending.
It is worth mentioning that Xue Pan also sent a letter to Jia Lian with a thousand silver tattoo, saying that his second uncle died a year ago, and his aunt wrote to report it. Aunt Xue was not in good health and could not go back, so she could only send a letter home. , to express comfort.
As for sacrificial silver, it is naturally a silver note. After Xue Pan asked Jia Lian to go to the south, he asked someone to exchange it for money and send it to his second uncle's house.
Although Baoqin's father's death had been expected for a long time, Jia Lian couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news. The life span of people at that time was indeed too short.
As long as you reach a certain age, a serious illness can easily kill you.
Sure enough, it is rare to live seventy years in ancient times. It is indeed rare for someone to live as long as Jia Mu. Therefore, it is no wonder that people at that time had the saying of accumulating blessings, and called those whose lives were short-lived as unlucky people.
As a result, Jia Lian became more determined to exercise every day, and practiced for an extra hour that night.
But unexpectedly, when he was about to go home and take a shower, he met a woman.
A somewhat pretty woman carrying a food box.
"Second Master Lian..."
On the roadside at dusk, a woman's voice pretending to be coquettish and frivolous greeted him, and Jia Lian looked up.
It turned out to be Qingwen's cousin, the legendary wife with a lot of worms, a girl!
Back then, Qingwen felt sorry for her cousins and asked Jia Lian to take them to Rongguo Mansion to feed them. Because there were so many worms that would kill them, the couple helped in the big kitchen...
Speaking of which, there are many girls, but one famous character in the original work.
With some beauty and a libertine personality, she became very popular in the two houses of the Jia family, and almost all the men in the two houses were "promiscuous".
Not only did the romantic young master Jia Lian fall under her pomegranate skirt, but she even made the clean and white young master Jia Baoyu of the troubled world get pressed on the kang and ate a lot of tofu...
It can be said that she is the most romantic woman in the Red Chamber.
Although this woman was considered destined to him, Jia Lian certainly had no interest in her, so he nodded casually and walked forward.
Seeing Jia Lian ignoring her, Miss Duo seemed a little annoyed. She stamped her feet and saw Jia Lian about to walk over. At this moment, she saw Jia Lian's handsome figure, the bulging muscles on her bare arms, and the cold wind coming from Jia Lian's body. The faint scorching breath made her lustful.
He immediately took the idea into consideration, and as soon as the sheep suit fell down, he fell on Jia Lian.
Jia Lian never expected that this woman would dare to do this. On the one hand, she was still carrying something in her hand, and on the other hand, because she was a relative of Qingwen, he did not kick her immediately, which gave her an opportunity. The moment he fell towards him, a pair of hands began to wipe his body.
"Do you think your life is too comfortable?"
The cold voice made Duo girl shiver all over because she threw herself on Jia Lian and faced Jia Lian's charming "manly sweat" aura.
He timidly let go of Jia Lian, raised his head and glanced at Jia Lian, and said slyly: "What does Second Master Lian mean by this? The slave family is just grateful to Second Master for taking him in and wants to repay Second Master..."
As he said that, seeing that Jia Lian was unmoved, he felt aggrieved again, "Although I'm not as naturally beautiful as my sister-in-law, I'm not ugly at all. Why is the second master so incomprehensible about style?"
Originally, she dared to take the initiative to hook up with Jia Lian because Qingwen was favored by Jia Lian and knew that Jia Lian was a kind person to his servants.
In fact, since they entered Rongguo Mansion, thanks to Qingwen's relationship, the couple has lived a comfortable life in Rongguo Mansion.
Because of this, she looked for a lot of guests that she could appreciate... Of course, those who could benefit her and were slightly dissatisfied were fine.
As for Jia Lian, she didn't dare to covet him at first.
It's just that I happened to encounter it today, so I couldn't help it. Because judging from her countless experiences with men, there is no man who does not cheat, and she has never thought about climbing on Jia Lian's high branch, and she has never thought about seeking any benefits from Jia Lian, she just simply wants to After having a romantic relationship with Jia Lian, she felt that there should be some opportunities.
At this moment, seeing Jia Lian condescendingly looking at her as if he were a dead person, she felt fear and regret, and her body, which was originally slender and weaker than that of an ordinary woman, shrank back more and more.
Seeing her like this, Jia Lian softened his expression a little.
"First of all, I'm not interested in you, and I'm even less interested in a woman who can do anything for you. Do you want me to make it clearer?"
Faced with Jia Lian's still cold and stiff attitude, Duo girls could only respond in conversation.
"Secondly, when I took you and your wife in, it was only because Qingwen begged me so hard that for her sake, I allowed you to enter the house and receive a share of the common meal.
You have been in the mansion for a long time, so you should know the rules of the mansion. If you want to live well, you have to abide by the rules, and there will be a next time..."
"No, I don't dare anymore. I will never do this again. Please spare my life..."
Sex makes the mind faint, and it does the same to women.
In the past, lust filled my heart and I lost all care. But now I was scolded by Jia Lian and I remembered the consequences.
Not to mention that Jia Lian was out to kill the general. In his eyes, killing a person should be a very simple matter. Let's just say that if Mistress Lian knew about this, she would not be able to live with it.
So he knelt down and begged, not daring to make Jia Lian really angry.
"Go down."
"Yes, thank you Lord Marquis for your forgiveness..."
Seeing this woman, who was even more seductive and vulgar than Aunt Zhao, shaking her butt and leaving, Jia Lian turned around and shook her head.
He has always been relatively tolerant towards women, and this woman was one of Qingwen's only two relatives in the world, so Jia Lian let her go so easily.
But when I thought about it, I didn't blame this woman for being bold. Maybe his charm was so strong that such an experienced woman couldn't control it.
More importantly, he remembered that in the original work, Jia Lian took the initiative to seduce this woman, and even spent money! But now, when this woman saw him, she couldn't wait to pounce on him. It can be seen that his charm is not just given to him by this handsome body.
More importantly, his temperament is so charming!
Thinking of this, although Jia Lian still disliked being touched by the woman, he wiped it with his sleeves and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, when he raised his head, he met a pair of beautiful and gentle eyes through the lattice window on the front wall.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then walked over.
It turns out that Sister Feng's Children's Courtyard and Li Wan's Courtyard are both behind Madam Wang's Courtyard, but Li Wan's Courtyard is directly opposite Madam Wang's Courtyard, while Sister Feng's Children's Courtyard is a little to the west.
The East Crossing Courtyard is in the east, so every time Jia Lian goes home, he will pass by Li Wan Courtyard. Sometimes, in order to take a shortcut, Jia Lian even enters Fengjie Courtyard directly from behind Li Wan Courtyard through the trail.
Therefore, there is really nothing surprising about Li Wan here.
When I got closer, I saw that Li Wan was still holding scissors in her hand, and I knew that she was pruning flowers in her small yard, and she must have just seen the scene just now.
"Sister-in-law is in a good mood. Well, this pot of spring begonias looks really good. It shows that my sister-in-law takes good care of it."
Li Wan was consciously hiding, so she stayed nearby and watched the play for so long. Suddenly she realized that Jia Lian had seen him and was walking towards her. She subconsciously wanted to leave.
But then I thought about it, I was trimming flowers with scissors in my hand, what were I afraid of?
Moreover, Jia Lian was outside the wall and he was inside the courtyard. There was a wall in between, so it didn't matter.
So he calmed himself down and responded to Jia Lian's words.
But I felt a little regretful in my heart, for being reckless today. Usually she would just sit in the house and look through the window from afar. Today, she hadn't seen Jia Lian passing by for a long time, so she couldn't help but go out and trim the flowers.
Second uncle, he should not misunderstand...
That stupid wife is so shameless! She had heard from servants before that she still didn't believe that she was such a lustful woman. Fortunately, Uncle Lian was not such a casual person.
Thinking of what he had seen before, Li Wan couldn't help but feel angry. He was angry that the toad wanted to eat the swan meat.
But when he thought of Jia Lian's decisive rejection of the other party's temptation, Li Wan was secretly happy. God knows how nervous and worried Jia Lian was when that shameless prostitute jumped on her.
"What are you thinking, sister-in-law?"
Jia Lian was so generous. Just looking at Li Wan, who was wearing a moon-white dress and looked elegant and elegant, he felt happy.
He also knew that his glorious image of being unmoved by women was seen by Li Wan, so he felt even more refreshed. It's like, if no one knows about doing good deeds, it always feels like a hidden gem, but if you do good deeds, you happen to be seen by someone, and that person happens to be the school beauty.
This feeling can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
Therefore, Jia Lian stood unceremoniously outside the courtyard wall, talking to Li Wan through the wall and watching Li Wan's reaction.
Seeing her sneaky eyes, she asked directly. He felt that his image in Li Wan's heart must be tall and majestic.
Li Wan knew that she should take the initiative to avoid him at this time, but seeing Jia Lian's openness, she felt embarrassed to run away.
So he lowered his head, and after a while he quietly replied: "Second uncle is in the house, often, often surrounded by girls and daughters-in-law, like that..."
Oh my god, what are you asking?
Jia Lian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "What did sister-in-law say? Oh, it was referring to the incident just now...
It's not that often, but every once in a while, I always encounter some.
If it's a good-looking one, I'll give it a lesson. If it's an ugly one like the one just now, just like my sister-in-law saw it, I'll teach you a lesson and warn you next time.
Sister-in-law, do you think what I did is right? "
Li Wan's face turned red and he couldn't help but turn sideways.
She didn't even know why she asked that question. If she saw something like that, she should have never seen it.
The second uncle felt the same way. He didn't know that he asked the wrong question, but he still answered seriously.
Moreover, although Jia Lian's tone was calm and not frivolous, his words always gave her a strange feeling... as if they were teasing?
Not quite like it! As the daughter of Jijiu and the eldest mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, no one had ever dared to tease her, so she couldn't make much judgment.
"Well, that woman doesn't look ugly to me..."
This was what Li Wan was thinking, and he murmured it unconsciously. Who would have thought that Jia Lian would hear her even if she whispered so quietly.
"Whether she is ugly or not depends on who she compares with. If she compares with my sister-in-law... Suyun and Biyue beside me, she is far behind."
Jia Lian just said casually that Suyun Biyue was not an outstanding beauty, but she was pretty good among the maids.
Apart from being young and pure, her appearance is probably similar to that of many other girls.
But if Naduo girl is better than Li Wan, then she is naturally far behind.
Jia Lian actually didn't expect that Li Wan would take the initiative to bring up the subject of many girls, but he was happy to take it up.
Not to mention anything else, it was a rare sight to see Li Wan, who was usually indifferent and stoic, showing a shy posture.
Jia Lian wanted to see more of this kind of scenery, but he still made a mistake and didn't get the scale right.
After all, Li Wan was born in a noble family. The two of them had a normal conversation before. Even if some words did not suit each other's status, she could regard them as saying something wrong temporarily.
But if she couldn't hear the teasing meaning in Jia Lian's words, she felt that Jia Lian would doubt her IQ.
Therefore, as if he had been bitten by a snake, he trembled all over and looked at Jia Lian with a frown and displeasure.
Everyone said that it was cold in early spring, but Jia Lian was only wearing a thin middle coat and a majestic coat...
Jia Lian lowered his head and glanced at himself, then saw that Li Wan looked like he wanted to see but dared not look. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister-in-law, won't you invite me in to sit down? I haven't seen Lan'er for a long time. I miss him so much."
"No, no, Lan'er is reviewing her homework! My second uncle has just practiced boxing, so it's better to go back and take a bath and rest first..."
Li Wan said, bowing and not daring to look at Jia Lian, turned around and left.
