Jia Zheng was called here by someone sent by Jia Lian.
At any time, it is most effective to use Jia Zheng to deal with Jia Baoyu.
Although Jia Zheng could not do anything to Jia Baoyu in the end with Jia Mu's presence, Jia Baoyu was as intimidated as a little quail by Jia Zheng's full aura, hiding behind Jia Mu and trembling, and the effect was also Will suffice.
Being willful and reckless also requires momentum. When Jia Baoyu faced Jia Zheng, all his confidence was taken away. Wherever he still had the domineering momentum when facing Daiyu, Xiangyun, etc., he could only shrink his head when facing Jia Lian and others. , let everyone see the joke.
In addition, Jia's mother, who has always doted on Jia Baoyu since he was born and even obeyed his advice, today also imposed sanctions on Jia Baoyu for the first time...
Not only did they order to block his nearest passage to Daiyu, but they also ordered people to restrict his freedom of movement.
It can be said that from now on, as long as someone sees the newly built wall and the servant girl who is on duty at the gate of Daiyu Courtyard all day long, Jia Baoyu's status in the minds of the people in the mansion will deteriorate.
The demon king who once existed in Rongguo Mansion and even the entire Jia family dared not mess with him. His status as a "living dragon" is destined to be gone forever.
Jia Lian is the most noble and irresistible master of the fourth generation of the Jia family. This concept will be unshakable in the minds of every Jia family.
This is the effect that Jia Lian has been working hard to create, but today's incident has completely set the tone.
Jia Mu's birthday banquet was not over yet, and there were still guests who needed to accompany her, so after Jia Mu dismissed Jia Zheng, she led her troops back.
Jia Lian also saw Jia Zheng rushing over to help him calm down, and personally escorted him out of Rongqing Hall.
"Don't worry, Lian'er. After I go back, I will ask your second aunt to discipline Baoyu well. If he obeys the discipline, he will be content and abide by his own rules in the future. If he continues to disobey, he will dare to act like he did today, without brothers or elders, rebellious and forgetful of ethics." I will definitely expose his skin!"
After hearing Jia Zheng's calm and solemn words, Jia Lian just smiled.
As long as Jia's mother is around in this life, Jia Zheng will never be able to expose Jia Baoyu. I'm afraid that as soon as he had an idea, Jia Mu would teach him a lesson.
However, Jia Lian still respected Jia Zheng for having such an attitude, so he bowed, clasped his fists, and said, "You are serious, sir."
At the same time, I also noticed Jia Zheng's words. Because Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang have been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for more than ten years, the titles of "Master" and "Mrs." have become deeply ingrained.
Therefore, everyone in the house refers to Jia Zheng as the master, and Mrs. Wang as the wife. Even when Jia Zheng mentioned Mrs. Wang in front of him before, he always said "tell the wife" or "your wife". I don't know what to say. Since when, Jia Zheng also started to refer to Mrs. Wang with the more accurate title of "Second Aunt".
Although it is a small change of title, it can be seen that in Jia Zheng's heart, he recognized his identity as the eldest son, and at least he no longer faced Jia Lian in a condescending manner.
Back in Daiyu's room, all the extra people had dispersed. Only sisters Baochai, Xiangyun and Sanchun were still in the room with Daiyu.
I don’t know what they said, but the tense atmosphere in the room that made people hold their breath and concentration was no longer there, but instead it was quite hilarious.
Even the tears on Daiyu's little face disappeared, and her face was full of shyness. When Jia Lian came in, she was about to tear Tanchun's mouth apart due to Baochai's obstruction.
When she saw Jia Lian coming in, she stopped talking, turned around and sat back on the couch, not daring to look directly at Jia Lian.
"Hehehe, look, our second sister-in-law is so shy, isn't she?"
Daiyu stopped fighting, but Tanchun didn't seem to let her go. Seeing Daiyu's appearance, he smiled even brighter.
"Third girl, if you keep talking nonsense..."
Daiyu was so ashamed that she wanted to stare Tanchun to death with her eyes, but Tanchun was so frightened that she hurriedly hid beside Jia Lian, so that Daiyu did not dare to follow her, which made Tanchun even more proud.
Jia Lian then tapped Tanchun on the forehead with one finger and scolded with a smile: "Don't bully your sister Lin."
Tanchun is the most active one among the Sanchun sisters. Today was the first time I heard about this "big news". I knew without asking that she must have taken the lead and made fun of Daiyu before.
Tanchun covered her head and shouted proudly. Seeing that Jia Lian ignored her and walked straight towards Daiyu, she punched Jia Lian on the back, silently accusing Jia Lian of going too far.
This move naturally made Yingchun and the others laugh, and even Xiangyun, who was originally looking a little forlorn, couldn't help but laugh along with him.
Baochai saw that Jia Lian had pulled up a stool and sat in front of Daiyu, but Daiyu was too shy to face him directly and sat on the side more and more, waving to Yingchun and others.
The sisters understood and followed Baochai out.
"Sister Lin?"
Jia Lian called several times in succession, but Daiyu only said a soft "hmm".
Then she noticed that Jia Lian was holding her little hand, and she was startled. She shrank her hand and turned around quickly, and then she suddenly realized that Tanchun and others had already left.
After she relaxed, she allowed Jia Lian to hold her little hand on his lap, but she still couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jia Lian.
Jia Lian saw how cute and adorable she looked, and couldn't help but want to reach out and wipe away her tears. But as soon as he raised his hand, Daiyu thought he was going to do something to her again. She immediately tilted her head back and hid, and her eyes became fierce.
"Hahaha, what happened just now? Seeing you crying like that makes me feel so sad, you know?"
Jia Lian was still laughing at the front, but in the second half of the sentence, his tone became a little affectionate.
He didn't ask, but when he asked, Daiyu's eyes suddenly narrowed, her mouth tightened, and she was full of grievances, which immediately showed in her expression.
When Jia Lian saw this, he immediately raised his buttocks and sat on Daiyu's couch, hugged her into his arms, and patted her to comfort her.
This made Daiyu unbearable. She hid in Jia Lian's arms and sobbed softly.
But Daiyu never liked complaining, so even if Jia Lian asked her in every possible way, she just shook her head and said a few perfunctory words without saying anything.
It was Zijuan who came in to serve tea to Jia Lian. Seeing that Jia Lian really wanted to ask about specific matters, she repeated the matter to Jia Lian as it was.
"If Miss Shi Da hadn't been here to help our girl speak today, I don't know how much injustice our girl would have suffered.
I just feel sorry for Miss Shi, because she said a few words for our girl, which completely angered Mr. Bao, and made Mr. Bao smash the jade. I'm afraid that the old lady and the madam don't like to see Miss Shi in their hearts. "
Zijuan only dared to say this because there was no one else in the room. She had a deep intention, that is, she did not want Shi Xiangyun, who spoke uprightly, to be wronged, so she specifically told Jia Lian, wondering if Jia Lian could protect Xiangyun.
After all, with Jia Baoyu's crazy and lustful look at that time, their maids really didn't dare to get into trouble, and they felt guilty for causing Xiangyun.
Jia Lian had only guessed that Jia Baoyu made trouble in Daiyu's house after knowing about it, but did not know the details.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a little angry. I was thinking about a little trick to take away that thing from Jia Baoyu, so that Jia's mother wouldn't have to wait all day and scream "baby root" and "life root", as if it were a huge treasure, which made people's lives. bother.
Now that Zijuan has spoken for her, Daiyu no longer hides her thoughts, sits up and looks at Jia Lian: "You asked me to treat Baoyu as an ordinary cousin, but you don't even know what he said about me today.
He said, he said that I married you because of your power and wealth, and he called me a person who follows people's influence, woo woo woo..."
The more Daiyu talked, the more aggrieved she became, so much so that she couldn't fully express what she wanted to say.
Jia Lian, however, could not empathize with Daiyu at this time at all, because the words Daiyu said made Jia Lian laugh.
Power, wealth? Follow the trend?
Anyone who knows Daiyu should know that these points have absolutely nothing to do with this girl.
It's impossible for Jia Baoyu not to know Daiyu's personality. He would be very angry if he could say such a thing.
But now Jia Lian didn't dare to laugh, otherwise Daiyu wouldn't be able to spare him, so he looked indignant and cursed: "Okay, so I thought he was just a kid, willful and ignorant, but I didn't expect that he would slander him like this Our sister Lin!
Others don’t know, and I don’t know it, but Sister Lin is the most indifferent person in the world who regards money as dirt.
How dare he say that to you, I really don't understand.
Besides, when it comes to power and wealth, how has Sister Lin ever been weaker than me?
Sister Lin is a "village monarch" personally conferred by the current emperor, and her official position is the fourth rank, while I am the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division, and I am only the fourth rank.
So Sister Lin and I are clearly on the same level, why did she ever need to rely on my power?
As for wealth? How did he know that the dowry left by his uncle to his sister alone was much more than the money in the two Jia family's treasury combined! Sister Lin is so rich, how can she take a fancy to the three melons and two dates in my house?
Based on this calculation, isn't what he said extremely ridiculous? "
Although she had long known that Jia Lian could coax people, Daiyu was still stunned for a while and forgot what she wanted to say before.
Although she feels that she is not a common person, she is not so arrogant that she thinks that she is the most indifferent person in the world. She feels that she still cares about her status as an official lady. As for treating money like dung...
She just doesn't like money. If she had money, she would still be happy to keep it. How could she treat it like dirt...
As for what Jia Lian said next, she was even more speechless. Let's not talk about wealth. After Jia Lian counted the Lin family's property, he told her some things. She was indeed surprised by the rich dowry her father left for her.
But to say that she is on the same level as Jia Lian is nonsense. How can we generalize between nobility and official status? According to what Jia Lian said, his position as a marquis was of the first rank according to rank!
Not to mention, her status as a country prince meant she only wanted to be noble, but her power was almost zero.
Therefore, Daiyu looked at Jia Lian blankly, as if she wanted to see through Jia Lian's eyes why Jia Lian was telling lies with his eyes open!
Jia Lian didn't feel that what he said was wrong at all. He hugged Daiyu again and continued to coax: "But Sister Lin can't be angry with Baoyu. He has been spoiled by the old lady and his wife since he was a child. It is normal for him to be arrogant. .
Besides, doesn’t Sister Lin know why he lost his temper today? "
"What?"
Daiyu pretended to be puzzled, but her head dropped.
Girls at this age are far more mature than boys. So although Jia Baoyu is one year older than Daiyu, Jia Baoyu is not as mature as Daiyu when it comes to matters of men and women. To put it more clearly, Jia Baoyu is more naive than Daiyu.
Daiyu understood some of the reasons why Jia Baoyu was angry. Even if she didn't understand it before, when Jia Lian came over later, she bluntly said "the hatred of seizing his wife". Need to elaborate on Jia Baoyu’s purpose of seizing his wife?
Jia Lian knew that Daiyu was just faking it, so he didn't expose her. He smiled and said, "Why else? It's naturally because he also likes Sister Lin."
"Bah, damn it, you're talking nonsense again~" Daiyu was so embarrassed that she pinched Jia Lian twice.
No matter how forward-thinking and disrespectful Daiyu was, she couldn't bear to be in Jia Lian's arms and hear Jia Lian say that others liked her, even if it was obvious.
Jia Lian immediately grabbed Daiyu's little hand and said with a smile: "What's the point? If others like you, it can only show your excellence, but it's nothing. Why are you so shy? In my opinion, the more people like you, the more beautiful you are." Well, it proves more and more that I, Jia Lian, have good taste. My sister Lin, a fairy descended from the earth, has peerless appearance, and is one of the most beautiful beauties throughout the ages."
"Bah, bah, bah, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are. I will ignore you."
After all, Daiyu was not influenced enough by Jia Lian, and she could not openly accept such remarks. She gave Jia Lian a few blows, stood up and walked away.
But he didn't leave the room, but walked to his makeup mirror in the corner to check his makeup.
She herself didn't realize that all the grievances in her heart were completely dissipated in a few words from Jia Lian. Not only that, knowing how Jia Lian views today's events, even if she encounters someone saying that to her again in the future, she will not be as aggrieved and confused as she is today.
Seeing Daiyu leave Jia Lian, while Jia Lian was sitting on the bed with his hands behind his back, just looking at Daiyu's back with a smile, as if he was doing nothing, Zijuan hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "While the second master is here, , I would like to lodge a complaint with the Second Master, but I don’t know if the Second Master will accept the complaint."
Jia Lian was stunned, and even Daiyu in front of the makeup mirror couldn't help but look back.
"Who are you going to sue?"
"The person this slave wants to sue is none other than Miss Qingwen in the second master's house!" Zicuckoo raised her head and observed Jia Lian's expression carefully.
As expected, Jia Lian frowned, then smiled and said: "Why did she offend you? For the sake of you girls, just say it. If it is really her fault, I will arrest her and apologize to you."
Although Jia Lian said it generously, Zijuan could still hear Jia Lian's intention to protect Qingwen. Otherwise, there is no need to specifically say "If it is really Qingwen's fault", the implication is to tell her that it is a trivial matter and forget it.
The more this happened, the more determined Zicuckoo was in her determination to file a complaint.
"She didn't offend me, I just complained for our girl!"
Hearing Zijuan say this, Jia Lian finally became more serious. Looking at Daiyu, Daiyu shook her head at her, saying that she didn't know.
"Come and listen." Jia Lian sat up.
So Zijuan told Jia Lian in detail what Xue Yan had told her before.
When he heard Zijuan's complaint, Jia Lian looked solemn, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, Qingwen was right, he did have something that he couldn't get away from at that time...
Therefore, strictly speaking, Qingwen cannot be entirely blamed for this incident.
However, if Xueyan is not allowed to come to him, she can come and report it herself. It can be seen that Nizi must have some selfish intentions and should be taught.
Jia Lian's silence made Zijuan feel that Jia Lian did not take her complaint to heart, so he immediately said: "I know this is just a trivial matter to the second master, but to us girls, this is not a trivial matter!
Today Aunt Qingwen can stop Xueyan from finding the second master, but tomorrow Yuwen and Xuewen can stop me, or even the girl, from looking for the second master.
Our girl originally lived in this mansion, and the only people we can rely on are the old lady and the second master.
The old lady is too old to be disturbed by everything. If we are not even qualified to see the second master, then who can she talk to and make decisions about if she suffers any grievances in the future? "
"Zicuckoo, stop talking..."
Beside her, Daiyu's face was clouded and her tone was low. It wasn't that she was very angry, but Zijuan's words aroused her sensitive mind.
Not only was she a dependent, but she was not Jia Lian's "right couple". No matter how nice Lian's second brother was, it was impossible for the people in his house and subordinates to be as nice as him.
Therefore, it is normal for them to look down on themselves and even make things difficult for themselves...
Jia Lian knew that Daiyu was the most sensitive to such matters, and even easily got into trouble, so he did not explain anything for Qingwen, and said bluntly to Zijuan: "Okay, I understand what you said. When I go back, I will discipline her well." she!
Don't think I'm just using empty words to deal with you. After today, if she doesn't repent and something like this happens again in the future, how about I tie her up and let you girls deal with it yourself? "
Jia Lian understands that although Qingwen is arrogant by nature, she also understands superiority and inferiority. Her pride is more towards those at the same level as her or those with a lower status than her.
She probably didn't know about Daiyu's engagement to him yet. If she knew, she would definitely not dare to neglect Daiyu again.
If he does it again in the future, and he is delivered into Daiyu's hands, with Daiyu's character, he won't really do anything to her...
Jia Lian deceived Daiyu with her prescription.
Sure enough, both Zijuan and Daiyu felt relieved when they heard that Jia Lian had no intention of protecting Qingwen.
