"Master Hou..."
After leaving the side room a little, Jia Lian finally turned around and looked at the woman in front of him.
"What else do you want?"
"Master Hou is leaving in such a hurry. Is there something wrong with Jiaojiao? Master Hou, don't worry. Jiaojiao is still young and it is inevitable that she is ignorant. As long as Master Hou is willing to teach her, she will be very obedient."
Lord Hou, look, Jiaojiao is Daiyu’s sister. In the future, the two of them will serve Lord Hou together. It will be a good story if it is told, right? "
A good story? I'm afraid Daiyu will vomit to death.
Jia Lian was a little curious as to why this woman was so persistent. She had just tried to send her daughter to his room a few times before, but she didn't expect that today, she would actually do something like this!
So he shook his head and said, "No, your daughter is very good. I'm just curious. You humiliate your daughter over and over again. Don't you really feel any shame in your heart?"
"What does the Marquis mean by this? It is her destiny to be able to serve the Marquis. How can it be an insult? The Marquis is really good at joking."
Chen's expression changed slightly, but he forced a smile.
Jia Lian felt that it was a luxury to talk to her about integrity, so he smiled and said: "Oh, since Madam thinks that serving me is your destiny, then I think Madam still has her charm, so why not be more generous, and you can come and serve me too?" how?"
Mrs. Chen was startled for a moment, then raised her brows, and glanced at Jia Lian shyly, "Master Marquis, do you really think that I am still attractive to my eyes? I am already over thirty this year..."
Jia Lian looked at her calmly. To be fair, although this woman looks to be in her thirties or forties, she has a pretty good figure and does have some pretty looks. It is probably because of her crude and clumsy personality that she was able to marry him because of her pretty looks. The only scholar in the Lin family.
But, let alone compared to Mrs. Xu, who is younger, more beautiful, and more dignified and graceful than her, even Aunt Xue looks much younger than her, and her temperament is completely incomparable.
Therefore, Jia Lian had no chance of falling in love with her. He just wanted to see where this woman's lower limit was, so as to understand the nature of all women in the world.
He kind of enjoyed working on this.
Jia Lian's interest was obviously misunderstood by Mrs. Chen. She flipped up her hair and looked at Jia Lian coquettishly for a few times, then quietly came closer and whispered: "If the Marquis really takes a fancy to me, I will be the best." It's not that I can't agree, but I have two conditions. If the Marquis is willing to agree, I will become the Marquis's..."
As she spoke, she took advantage of the situation and fell into Jia Lian's arms. On the one hand, Jia Lian was curious about what she said, and on the other hand, she did have some beauty. He didn't push her away, he just smiled and asked her what her conditions were? "First, let my husband be the acting head of the Lin family and be in charge of the distribution of the Lin family's property. I know that this is just a matter of words to the Marquis. The Marquis will not refuse to agree."
Jia Lian has long seen this purpose of women. Thinking about it, for the Lin clan's side clan, being able to sit on the position of acting clan leader and be in charge of the distribution of ancestral property is the most attractive thing to them.
"Second... After the Marquis has acquired our bodies, he will legitimately take Jiaojiao into his house as his concubine. I dare not say much else. At least the title and status that Daiyu's niece has, Jiaojiao must also have." .
Moreover, I am Lin Hong’s wife after all, and it would not sound good if the news about mother and daughter working together with the same husband spread. Therefore, it is impossible for me and Jiaojiao to follow you. At most, during these days when you are in the Lin family, as long as Mr. Hou If necessary, just summon me, and I will serve the good Marquis wholeheartedly..."
Seeing Chen saying this seriously, Jia Lian smiled inwardly. Yes, this bitch is still afraid of him blackmailing her.
"Oh, since Madam knows that she is a married woman and dares to obey my summons to serve, are you not afraid that Lin Hong will know?"
"So what if he knows about it. The Marquis thinks he is some kind of good guy who has the reputation of being a scholar. In fact, he is just like that. He has no skills and he likes to hook up with other people's wives. As far as I know, he is with Chengdongtou Liangshui. Widow Li from the shop has an affair. So, even if he knew
I'm not afraid after all, I have my own words to deal with him. Moreover, if he knew that it was the Marquis who asked him to become the leftover bastard, he wouldn't even dare to let out a fart even if he kept it. I want to find an official position for him.
If not, the Marquis will be merciful and give him a minor official of the eighth or ninth grade. In this way, he will be satisfied with keeping it and will no longer be able to interfere with our affairs..."
Chen's eyes lit up as he spoke. She came from a humble background, and at first she thought it would be great to be a scholar's wife. Later, when she saw the dignity of an official's wife, she dreamed of becoming an official's wife too.
Therefore, this is also the reason why she wholeheartedly gave her daughter to Jia Lian as a concubine. Seeing the attitude of the officials in Suzhou towards Jia Lian, she felt that as long as she climbed into Jia Lian's power, it would not be difficult to find an official position for her famous husband!
Jia Lianxi looked at her and suddenly threw her away. In her doubtful eyes, he smiled and said, "What you said is not difficult. However, I suddenly regretted it.
Seeing that Madam is so open-minded about such things, I guess she has let Lin Hong be the kind of leftover bastard you call her before, right? "
"This... how is it possible? I am the only one who treats the Marquis like this. How can anyone else compare with the Marquis..."
Chen's face was red with embarrassment and she stammered in explanation, but Jia Lian just looked at it coldly.
Sure enough, among all the women in the world, there are some who are reserved, some who are dissolute and casual, some who are chaste and strong, and some who are shameless.
This Chen family obviously belongs to the latter.
After taking a look behind him, sisters Aqi and Aqin were also looking for him. Jia Lian completely stopped his joking and said seriously: "I already know Madam's plan. Regarding the candidate for the head of the Lin family, I am currently discussing with the clan. Several clan elders discussed whether it would be Lin Hong in the end. It depends on his own fate.
As for your daughter, I advise you to choose a son-in-law for her as soon as possible. There is really no point in forcing her to marry this prince. There are many wives and concubines in this house, and there are countless beauties. With your daughter's beauty, it is really difficult for her to stand out among them.
Finally, I don’t like to be disturbed again and again, and I don’t like people who don’t know how to advance or retreat. Before I get angry, I'll give you one night to move out of the inner courtyard.
If you haven't moved out early tomorrow morning, my own soldiers will come to help you. It will become a joke by then, but don't blame me for not reminding you. "
After Jia Lian finished speaking, he gave the two maidservants a look and took them away.
On the way back to the house, Jia Lian asked A Qi when they arrived.
"After we took a bath, we went to Lin Xiangjun's courtyard to greet the second master. Miss Zijuan said that you had gone back, but we didn't see the talent coming. We happened to see Mrs. Chen throwing herself into the arms of the second master, thinking I didn't want to ruin the second master's good deeds, so they didn't happen.
Who knows, the second master didn't seem to like her appearance very much and pushed her away, so we came out to help the second master escape. "
Jia Lian smiled when he heard this. He actually realized that he was a bit of a charmer.
Xu family in Yangzhou also wanted to recruit him as a cheap son-in-law before. This time, someone even washed her daughter directly, wrapped it up like a palace maid and brought it to him for him to enjoy.
Speaking of which, with his increasingly casual attitude towards things, even if Chen's appearance was declining, Lin Jiaojiao would come to seduce him. If the time and place were changed, it wouldn't be a big deal if she just took them at will.
However, Daiyu had just lost her father, and Jia Lian also knew that Daiyu did not like her as a cousin. Naturally, Jia Lian did not want to do anything that would be detrimental to his identity at this time, so as not to damage his image in Daiyu's mind. .
He looked back at his two maidservants who had changed their clothes. One was as sweet as a white lotus, and the other was as lonely and cold as the clear moon in the sky. Both of them had just taken a bath, and their bodies exuded the unique fragrance of young women.
Seeing that he was pleased, he took the two of them into his arms and said with a smile: "I have been busy with affairs these days, and all my fists and kicks have been wasted. As my bodyguards, you two have the responsibility and obligation to supervise me. I practice martial arts diligently.
So, how about you all come to my room tonight and let’s practice together? "
This is not the first time that the two sisters have been raped by Jia Lian at the same time.
He was in his arms, so there was no resistance.
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Ah Qin couldn't help but smile sweetly. After arriving in Suzhou, I don't know whether Jia Lian wants to abstain from sex or because Lin Xiangjun lives next door and has not touched her for many days.
Seeing that Jia Lian was finally interested in them, he was naturally secretly happy and nodded shyly.
As for my sister Aqi, although she was embarrassed to say anything, her blushing face and saying nothing was the greatest acquiescence.
Jia Lian became even more happy. After kissing each of her sisters on the face, she let them go into the house to find Xiang Ling, asked Xiang Ling to arrange a wash, and told her that she was going to Jinling to meet her mother.
…
Jia Lian didn't have much to do in Suzhou, so he took the shortest time to complete the inventory of the Lin family's property. What could be taken away, such as deeds of land and real estate, real gold and silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., were all shipped out. Walk.
Lin Youquan was left to slowly count the rest.
As for the acting patriarch of the Lin family, Jia Lian finally let Lin Hong, the only scholar in the Lin family, serve as the acting patriarch. This was also the result of the final compromise of the elders of the Lin family.
There is no way, a person with a reputation as a scholar still has a lot of status in a poor family. Just look at Jia Dairu, the old man of the Jia family school. He only has the reputation of being a child, but he has been in charge of the family school for many years.
Although he only taught a group of incompetent children, it was enough to show the importance of fame to ordinary people.
In this era, as long as you have fame, at least you will not die of hunger. Even if you are good at doing some business, such as setting up a private school to teach, you might be able to make a fortune.
Anyway, Jia Lian feels that in this era, the price of studying is very expensive. If you want to study, you have to pay filial piety to your husband, which can also be called a greeting gift. If you are too low, others will not teach you.
As for why Jia Dairu’s family is still so poor...
Whether you are poor or not depends on who you compare with. Compared with Rongguo Mansion, Confucianism in the Jia Dynasty is definitely poor. But compared with ordinary people, Jia Dairu was richer.
No matter what, his family still has a few servants, and the house is also a large single-family house in the capital.
Secondly, the purpose of the Jia Family School is to allow those who cannot afford to study among the eight brothers in the Jia family to go to school for free.
Therefore, most of the children in the Jia family school do not need to pay tuition fees, but the family provides materials uniformly. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that those Jia family children in family studies do not cherish the opportunity to study, because their families have no money anyway.
Therefore, Jia Dairu's homeschool students could not make much money, but those who sneaked into the homeschool due to family ties could make some money.
For example, at Jia Baoyu's request, Qin Zhong went to Jia's home to learn reading. Qin Zhong's father, Qin Bangye, immediately asked someone to seal twenty-four taels of silver as a meeting gift and send it to the Confucian family of Jia Dynasty. He was also worried that the gift would be less. Make people laugh...
Twenty-four taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family of five to live for a year, but they could only provide a child with a man who was not very talented as a teacher. Therefore, it is normal for people in this era not to be able to read.
However, although Lin Hong was made the acting clan leader, several clan elders were in charge of the Lin family's ancestral property in accordance with Lin Ruhai's orders.
Jia Lian, the Lin family's ancestral home, also had no intention of letting Lin Hong's family live there. Instead, he asked Lin Youquan to seal it up after finishing his work, leaving only a few servants to do daily cleaning and maintenance.
He felt that Lin Hong's family had a bad family tradition and did not want them to harm his son's family.
Go north along the Grand Canal, enter the Yangtze River from the intersection of the canal and the Yangtze River, and sail to Jinling.
Jinling City, the old residence of the Jia family.
As the home built by Ning Rong, the founding hero of the country, its grandeur, magnificence and solemnity are unparalleled by other homes.
Walking among them, you can truly feel the heritage of the Jia family.
"I heard that the Marquis is coming, and I have already cleaned all the rooms in the main courtyard. The Marquis and Miss Lin will take a look first. They can live wherever they want."
Jin Cai, the father of Yuanyang, has been looking after houses in Jinling these years. I don’t know if it was because of the mandarin ducks, but Jia Lian was not impressed by the little old man.
wrong.
He is a man who is loyal to his duty.
Since it was his own home, Jia Lian chose the main house without hesitation and let Daiyu live in the side courtyard.
Returning from Daiyu's house, he found Xiangling sitting alone in the room in a daze. Jia Lian walked up to her, sat next to her, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"
Xiang Ling turned around and hurriedly started to get up, but was pulled closer by Jia Lian, so she stopped obediently.
"Are you thinking about your mother?"
"Um……"
Xiang Ling nodded, with a rare complex expression on her face. There is a bit of yearning, but also a bit of worry and hesitation.
Perhaps, for her who has lost her family since she was a child, the word mother is too unfamiliar to her.
If Jia Lian had not told her that her mother had been found, she would not have believed it.
"We will go to the government office early tomorrow morning. If your mother arrives in Jinling City by then, you can see her.
It's too late today to visit the government office. "
"Yeah, I understand."
Xiangling was afraid that Jia Lian would misunderstand, so she quickly waved her hand. In fact, she is not as eager to see her mother Feng as others think. After all, she has been here for so many years, so why bother in one day?
"Second Master and Miss Lin are tired from traveling around, and Miss Lin is so weak, so naturally she needs a good night's rest, so there's no need to worry.
But my second master was so kind to me and even helped me find my mother. I don’t even know how to repay my second master. "
"repay?"
With the obedient and pretty maid in front of him with absolutely excellent appearance, Jia Lian became accustomed to being rude, "You have been following me for so many years, haven't you always been repaying me? You have done much better than that little girl Qingwen, have you forgotten? "
When Xiang Ling heard this, a red cloud flew up on her face, and she nodded in approval.
Jia Lian couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He is a handsome pair. In addition to being both naturally beautiful, each one is more interesting than the other.
One is flamboyant and has a cunning and aggressive personality. One is just the opposite, well-behaved, quiet, slow-tempered, and often too cutesy.
Yin rubbed her delicate body in his arms and sighed with a smile: "So, it's not me who is good to you, but you who are good to me. Do you understand?"
However, I am really worried. "
"What?"
"You said you are so obedient and so good. If your mother doesn't want you to be a maid next to me and suffer injustice after seeing you, wouldn't it be a big loss for me? I have been used to having you for so many years. This little girl is here to stay. If you leave, I will be sad for a long time."
Hearing this, Xiangling suddenly became anxious. She quickly got out of Jia Lian's arms and said anxiously: "No, no, no, I will never leave the second master in my life, never!"
However, the more dull the girl is, the more serious her appearance and words are, the most touching and disarming.
Jia Lian was originally teasing her, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but become serious and asked, "What if your mother insists that you follow her?"
Xiang Ling's face suddenly became tangled, obviously she had never thought about this problem. But facing Jia Lian's gaze, she quickly came up with an answer.
"If my mother really wants me to go with her, I will tell her that the second master has been very good to me over the years. The second master is also the best and best person I have ever met. Apart from the second master, I I'm not going anywhere. Unless the second master wants to drive me away, otherwise, I'm not going anywhere, not going..."
Maybe this question was too difficult for her. As she talked, the little girl couldn't help crying.
Only then did Jia Lian realize that he had committed a sin.
The little girl finally had the opportunity to see her mother, but she still gave her such a difficult problem. Secretly giving himself a slap, Jia Lian held the little girl's face and looked at the tears hanging on her face, which was crystal clear and as delicate as if it could squeeze out water. He gently wiped it away with the tip of his tongue and comforted her repeatedly. .
Jia Lian's intimate behavior naturally made Xiang Ling feel sad and shy. She quickly fell into Jia Lian's arms and enjoyed each other's tenderness before giving up.
