Not to mention how Ping'er made excuses to stay after entering the bathroom, and how he, Xiangling Qingwen and others cooperated with the master's misbehavior. In short, the first bath after Jia Lian returned home was very fragrant and beautiful. Full of pride.
When he returned to the main room to change his clothes, he saw that Qingwen's face was full of displeasure. Even dressing him was messy.
You know, Qingwen is known for her dexterity and dexterity, so there must be a reason why she is like this at this time.
"What’s wrong with you."
It was okay if Jia Lian didn't ask. When Qingwen asked, Qingwen immediately pursed her lips. She looked up at Jia Lian and said angrily: "Second Master is very partial. Not only is he partial, but he also always lies!"
Jia Lian heard some clues and couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, how could I be partial and lie to others?"
Seeing Jia Lian like this, Qingwen's eyes became more and more aggrieved, but she couldn't help but look ashamed.
"The second master has the nerve to say, Xiang Ling, you put Xiang Ling... Humph! The second master is a liar."
Qingwen's face was as red as a small apple.
It turned out that she and Xiang Ling had taken Jia Lian's bath together before. They were old acquaintances and had a good time.
Even if Ping'er intervenes later, it doesn't matter. After all, she knows that Jia Lian will not touch her and Xiangling's bodies, so it is also a benefit to have Ping'er around, as he can help extinguish the flames between her and Xiangling.
The facts were as expected, and soon the second master and sister Heping'er were fine.
She and Xiang Ling were also very experienced in helping, and occasionally she would deliberately cause trouble, causing Ping'er to scold her.
Everything was fine up to this point. Even when she saw the second master carrying Xiangling onto Ping'er, she didn't think much about it. She just thought that Jia Lian wanted to use Xiangling to cheer up.
Who knew, the next scene immediately made her expression freeze, and she immediately rubbed her eyes that widened involuntarily.
Second Master...did you go to the wrong place?
She quickly looked at Xiang Ling with concern, only to find that there was no big problem with Xiang Ling at all, and she even soon became as peaceful as she was, making a melodious and gentle sound.
It was only then that she was sure that the clown was herself.
For a moment, shock, grievance, unwillingness and other emotions came to my mind one by one.
The second master clearly said that he did not touch them for their own good. He also said that he took Xiang Ling to Jiangnan this time just to help Xiang Ling find her mother.
The result is this?
Xiangling, we got there first! Qingwen became angrier as she thought about it.
You know, she is the first person in Jia Lian's house to have the title of concubine, and it was given by Jia's mother.
Ping'er took the lead and she endured it.
After all, Ping'er was indeed a few years older than her, and she was also the Second Grandma's number one confidant. The Second Mistress had selfish motives, and there was nothing she could do if she wanted to promote Ping'er first.
However, Xiangling actually came first...
She felt she couldn't bear it.
If she hadn't wanted to spoil Jia Lian's mood, she would have made a fuss in the bathroom.
Now, those two shameless little hooves were thrown into the bathroom by the second master and washed and bathed in a large bucket of water. She and Jia Lian were the only two people in the room, so of course she no longer hid her thoughts.
She wanted Jia Lian to give her an explanation.
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Jia Lian seriously without blinking.
"Hahaha, what did I do to Xiangling?"
Seeing that Jia Lian not only did not face this problem, but was still laughing, Qingwen was immediately annoyed.
The shame on his face completely turned into grievance, he stopped buckling Jia Lian's belt, dropped his hand, lowered his head and said with tears in his eyes: "I know, there must be something wrong with me that makes the second master dislike me, so the second master just left." Another lie.
In fact, it's not that it's better and more comfortable to be a maid, but the second master looks down on others, so that's why he doesn't want her, right? "
The more confident people are, it is always difficult to accept being hit where they are confident.
Qingwen has absolute confidence in her appearance and figure, but she is repeatedly defeated by others. She refuses to accept it, and at the same time, she can't help but have a trace of self-doubt. Is there something wrong with her that makes Jia Lian keep touching her?
Jia Lian saw through Qingwen's little thoughts at a glance.
Therefore, even though he looked at her aggrieved look, he was not in a hurry. He straightened his clothes and belt, and then he was able to hold the little girl who was taller than his heart in his arms, and sat on the edge of the bed, as if He said as if coaxing a child: "Okay, don't think so wildly, it's really not what you think."
"Tell me, Second Master, what's going on? You even accepted Xiangling, why are you unwilling to accept others?"
Qingwen raised her head, her face as clear as water hibiscus was already covered with tears.
She was born very similar to Daiyu, and now with her pear blossoms and rainy appearance, she seemed to be born out of Daiyu. Even compared to Zhen Yuhuan, who looked like Daiyu, she felt no less generous.
So much so that for a moment, Jia Lian had the illusion that the person he was holding in his arms was that little girl Daiyu.
However, Jia Lian understood clearly if he looked closely.
Daiyu's eyes were as clear and clear as a spiritual spring in a paradise land, as clear and peaceful as this girl's, full of aggression and purpose. When people saw her, they couldn't help but want to deal with her.
So he slapped her on the butt and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about your sister Xiangling's matter. It happened by chance and was not my intention.
Besides, even if I took her in, it doesn't mean that I lied to you.
You ignorant girl, tell me for yourself, where did your second master treat you badly?
If you want money, your monthly salary has been increased to twenty taels. Is it one cent lower than other aunts in the house? If you want someone to serve you, wouldn't you also ask Tan Yun to serve you? Not to mention, what are the benefits of the courtyard? When did your second master forget about you?
Just like just now, if it weren't for my help, would your second mistress be willing to reward you with such a large piece of gold?
Tell me again, which concubine in the world lives as freely and freely as you do? I do whatever I want to do every day, and I can go wherever I want to play.
If I hadn't been supporting you, you really thought that others would tolerate you and give in to you. "
Qingwen felt uncomfortable being spoken to by Jia Lian. To put it this way, she seemed a little ignorant when she was angry with Jia Lian.
But she was smart and immediately thought of the words: "When did I say that the second master was not good to me? They just said that the second master was partial.
What you mentioned, Ping'er and Xiangling are no less important than me.
Anyway, I only know that I am the first concubine in the master's house. After the second master tricked her home, he has been unwilling to take her and even asked Ping'er and Xiangling to take the lead. "
Hearing Qingwen's slightly lack of confidence, Jia Lian laughed in his heart.
Holding the charming and clever little pretty girl in his arms and listening to her invitations to be pampered is a kind of enjoyment in itself, so Jia Lian is happy to listen to her complaints.
"Partial? I am naturally partial, but well, I am not partial to Ping'er and Xiang Ling, but to you, a stupid girl."
"Um?"
Qingwen raised her head, expressing that she didn't quite understand.
Jia Lian leaned close to her ear and whispered something, which immediately made Qingwen blush, but she couldn't help but her heartbeat quickened.
After Jia Lian left her mouth, she quickly asked: "Is what the second master said true?"
"Can I still lie to you? Let me ask you, suppose you have a yard with many flowers. When the flowers bloom, will you save your favorite flowers for the end and enjoy them slowly? ?”
Qingwen thought for a moment and nodded.
Although she thought for a moment that she would pick the best ones first, she thought it was right to follow Jia Lian's thinking.
The most important thing is that Jia Lian said that the reason why she kept her pure and white body was to better appreciate and play with it.
She didn't doubt this at all, because she could find clues from her interactions with Jia Lian.
The second master really liked her graceful figure and said she was a rare "little white tiger". She didn't know what a white tiger was, but she knew that the second master liked this thing very much, and he also liked to kiss it. Others don’t have this special and shameful treatment!
"Then, when will the second master plan to take her..."
Qingwen, who has been persuaded by Jia Lian again, no longer worries about the order, she only cares about the time when she grows up.
"Are you so anxious?" Jia Lian asked with a smile.
Qingwen was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
It was just that Jia Lian was not at home. As soon as Jia Lian came back, she would inevitably see some inappropriate scenes for girls, which made her girlish heart a little uncontrollable.
She admitted she was a little anxious.
"To tell you the truth, your sister Xiangling's mother told you that Xiangling's real age is not just a few months older than you, but a full year older than you.
You are too young, wait and see. "
Although she was surprised that Yu Xiangling was one year older than her, Qingwen was still a little dissatisfied when she heard Jia Lian mention this again.
"Why are you so young? Xiangling is not as tall as me..."
She tied up her hair to compare with Xiang Ling's height, but the honest Xiang Ling couldn't compare with her.
Who knew that when Jia Lian heard this, he immediately became interested.
"Oh, really, let me measure it."
Qingwen was sitting in Jia Lian's arms with her back to him, and as the weather was getting hotter, she wore less.
So Jia Lian's hands easily got into her clothes and measured her. Then Jia Lian said regretfully: "Be impartial, Xiangling is indeed older than you."
"Bah, that's not what I'm talking about!"
Qingwen was so embarrassed that she quickly took out Jia Lian's An Lushan claws.
She and Xiang Ling lived in the same house, getting along day and night, and even bathed together most of the time. How could she not know that Xiang Ling was...a little older than her!
The second master is really bad.
Realizing that Jia Lian was determined to be evil and wanted to pinch her, she simply turned over and hugged Jia Lian's waist, pressing the front against Jia Lian, leaving a smooth jade back for Jia Lian to touch.
Jia Lian didn't care either. He wanted whatever was given to him. So Qingwen discovered that all she had done was useless. As long as it was in Jia Lian's hands, she would not be able to live in peace.
But at the same time, she became even more certain that Jia Lian did not lie to her.
The second master really cares about her.
So, she forced herself to get up, knelt on Jia Lian's thighs, leaned into Jia Lian's ear, whispered like orchid, and said in a coquettish voice: "Since Xiang Ling is hair-haired, then wait until my next birthday." When the time comes, the Second Master must also treat everyone equally, otherwise, people will no longer believe what the Second Master says."
Jia Lian was greatly touched by the fact that Qingwen, who had always been naughty and cunning, made such a seductive move.
Jia Lian, knowing that the gun would go off if he continued to get tired of it, grabbed Qingwen, hugged her and kissed her, and then asked her to take care of the house at home, while he headed towards Jia Mu's flower hall.
…
Jia Mu's flower hall is located behind the main building of Rongqing Hall. The terrain is very open, which is most suitable for night banquets and moon viewing.
When Jia Lian came over, it was already very lively here.
"Second Master is here!!"
"Second Master Lian is here."
The greetings came and went one after another.
The voices were crisp, delicate, and filled with joy. They were the voices of the maids.
Elegant or charming ones are mostly for young wives.
Others who expressed flattery and compliments were mostly from servants and wives, and Jia Lian paid no attention to them.
Walking into the hall, as expected, almost all the masters of the two houses were here.
Separate seats too.
In the middle of the flower hall, there is a vertical screen one and a half feet long and one foot high, dividing the flower hall into two.
There are three seats on the left, where the female relatives of the two houses are seated, but there is only one seat on the right. Jia Zheng is sitting at the top, with Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan sitting at the bottom, which looks very unattractive.
This is also the current situation of the Jia family.
There are many female relatives, but there are very few male ones.
First he gestured to Jia Zheng, then Jia Lian walked straight to the chief on the left and bowed to Jia's mother above, "I've seen the old lady before."
"Hurry up and take your seats. I just told my concubine and the others that if you don't come, the show will start."
When Jia Lian walked over, except Aunt Xue who was sitting with Jia's mother, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang who were sitting at the next table, everyone else stood up to show respect.
Even Jia Mu spoke with a smile and had no intention of holding him accountable for being late.
"yes."
Jia Lian agreed and bowed down to indicate to Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xing and other elders.
Taking advantage of this emptiness, he took another glance at the women present. Sure enough, everyone with names from the two houses was here, including Youshi and Qin Keqing. They were standing in the corner, each with his own charming smile, peeking at him secretly.
Under the public gaze, Jia Lian naturally had no expression, and then said goodbye and went to the right.
"Hello, second brother Lian."
"Meet Uncle Lian!"
Jia Baoyu and the other three stood up to say hello. Jia Lian nodded and motioned for them to sit down. Then he bowed to Jia Zheng and sat down next to him.
After the maids set the tableware for Jia Lian, Jia Zheng personally picked up the jug and poured wine for Jia Lian. He said with a smile: "The old lady hasn't been so happy for a long time. She just said that there is no drama without wine, so she is specially called The little actors from Lixiangyuan came, saying that they made everyone happy.
Taking advantage of this day, we, uncle and nephew, can have a drink together. "
When Jia Zheng poured wine, Jia Lian quickly held the quilt in both hands to show respect.
But there was no disturbance in my heart. Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and others were naturally happy. After all, Jia Lian waved his hand, and the official treasury immediately received an extra thirty thousand taels of silver out of thin air.
Doesn't Jia Lian's generosity deserve a good attitude from them?
If they knew again that Jia Lian casually rewarded Sister Feng with tens of thousands of taels of gold, I'm afraid their attitude would be even better!
This is also true. When you have money, you can use money to maintain family ties. When you have no money, you can use smiles to maintain family ties. When you have no money and don’t want to spend time with a smiling face, you can only take care of your own mood and forget about family ties.
For Jia Lian now, it doesn't matter if he can maintain family ties in the simplest way. He will wait until he is in a bad mood one day and then we can talk about it.
As for the fact that he is still in the period of filial piety and cannot put on a show, Jia Lian will certainly not point it out specifically. Unless he intends to cause trouble for Jia Mu.
I believe other people don’t dare to say it even if they think about it, they can only think about it in their hearts.
After having another drink with Jia Zheng, Jia Lian saw that there were too few people at the table, so Jia Lian asked, "Why don't you see Cong'er?"
Jia Zheng was stunned. Jia's mother had always treated guests, but when had she called Jia Cong?
However, Jia Zheng was still very sensible. He only glanced at Jia Huan on the table and knew that Jia Cong should be present at this time.
So he pretended to be confused and said: "Yes, didn't the old lady say that today is a family dinner, why didn't anyone call Cong'er?"
In the past, everyone could ignore Jia Cong, but now that Jia Lian's status has risen, if he cares about his concubine, no one dares to look down upon him.
The surrounding maids and servants didn't know how to reply, but Mrs. Xing's wife came up and said with a smile: "The eldest lady asked Mr. Cong to study hard, so I didn't call him."
"Go and call him over."
Jia Lian gave an order with a calm expression. What else did the woman want to say? Suddenly seeing Jia Lian's brows darkening, she did not dare to hesitate and quickly agreed and left.
