When Xiren saw Jia Lian appear in his courtyard, his eyes were bright.
When Jia Lian walked over with a smile on her back, her hands behind her back, she clenched her little hands nervously. She has always been calm and sensible, but she forgot to introduce Jia Lian's identity to her mother beside her and her sister-in-law hiding behind the door. She could only let her brother nervously and carelessly smile in front of her.
"A common woman pays homage to the Marquis..."
Hua Mu also wanted to kneel down to greet Jia Lian like a beautiful flower, but Jia Lian helped her up in advance, and then said with a smile: "Old lady, you don't have to be polite. I passed by here and came in to ask for a cup of tea. I hope you won't be weird."
"This, is it strange or not..."
Ignoring Hua Mu's flatterment, Jia Lian glanced at Jia Baoyu and then glanced at the attacker before entering the door. The attacker just lowered his head.
After Jia Lian entered the room, Hua Zifang, Hua Mu and others had not yet recovered and could not help but focus on Xi Ren.
"Girl, what's going on? Why are all the masters of the Jia family here?" Mother Hua pulled the attacker and asked in a very low voice.
"I don't know either, just ask my brother."
Hua Zifang hesitated for a moment, "I said I saw Mr. Bao here, so I came in to take a look."
Hua Zifang's words reassured Hua Mu a little. She just said that it was barely okay for Mr. Bao to come to their shabby place. After all, he was the master that her daughter had served for many years. He was also a child, and he was a bit playful.
This Master Lian didn't even need to inquire carefully to know that he was a person in the sky. How could he be friends with these mere mortals?
Then Mother Hua sighed: "God, I don't know what kind of incense was burned in our house, but today we have summoned all these people. Girl, why are you still standing there, why don't you go in and serve the two masters."
Xiren nodded silently and walked into the room. Seeing Jia Lian looking at their home, while Jia Baoyu stood beside Jia Lian blankly like a child who had made a mistake, she stepped forward and took a brand new tureen to pour tea for Jia Lian, saying at the same time: "Our home is simple. The tea is not good either, so I have no choice but to offend the second master."
Jia Lian turned around and glanced at her, smiled inexplicably, sat down, took the tea bowl and began to sip slowly.
Xiren was worried and not as smart as before. Jia Lian didn't tell her so she just stood there. Jia Baoyu didn't know Jia Lian's intention of chasing him this time, so he couldn't say anything. He could only glance at the inner room, where there were three or five women gathered at the end of the kang, curiously stretching their necks to peek outside. child.
The girls noticed his gaze and hurriedly avoided it. Their shy looks made Jia Baoyu even more stunned and his eyes went crazy.
Suddenly Hua Mu came in, scolded Xi Ren for not serving him properly, and then led his niece, niece and others inside to let them meet Jia Lian.
Only then did Jia Lian have a chance to look at these striking aunts and cousins.
If Jia Lian remembered correctly, Xiren had a cousin in red, a girl that Jia Baoyu could not forget as soon as he saw her. Jia Lian just came in with some strange thoughts.
Apart from Xi Ren, there were four girls in total. The eldest was sixteen or seventeen years old, and the youngest was only about seven or eight years old. They were all quite pretty.
Although Jia Lian didn't see the "girl in red" at first glance, because the girls were all dressed in bright red and green clothes, Jia Lian still found the target easily.
The girl, who was wearing a green coat, looked about twenty-eight years old. She was smart and handsome, and looked forward to the spring. At first glance, she was undoubtedly the most beautiful among the sisters in the Hua family. Even when it comes to being smart and beautiful, it is slightly better than Xiren.
Turning his head and looking around, he found that Jia Baoyu's eyes were firmly attached to this girl. Jia Lian was sure that the girl in green was the girl in red.
After another look, Jia Lian smiled at Hua's mother and said, "The Hua family is indeed a beautiful place. Not only did they raise a girl like Xi Ren, even my old lady praised and liked her, but also the girl from my relatives is also a beautiful girl." It’s so beautiful.”
Girls from ordinary families were already shy, so they couldn't bear Jia Lian's praise in person, so they all shyly hid behind Hua Mu and Xi Ren.
When Jia Baoyu saw this, he blamed him again
He glanced at Jia Lian enviously again. He also wanted to strike up a conversation with these girls, but he was afraid of being rude to them, so before Jia Lian came, he just looked at them secretly. How could Jia Lian always praise people's beauty when they met.
Hua Mu was laughing from ear to ear. If the man next to her said this, she would still be suspicious of his intentions, but facing Jia Lian's status and character, their daughters would hardly even be qualified to be teased by him.
"No matter how hard it is, Xiren is able to be where he is today, all thanks to the kindness and cultivation of the family. Being appreciated by the old lady of your family is a blessing she earned in her previous life..."
"Old Madam, you are too modest. For a girl like Xiren, there will be people vying for her in every house she goes to. Our Jia family is no exception."
Jia Lian's words were a bit incomprehensible, and Hua Mu, Jia Baoyu and others could not hear anything. However, Xiren, as the person involved, immediately understood the implication, and his cheeks suddenly felt a little hot.
They are fighting for it, but who is fighting for it? Who to fight with? This is a no-brainer.
Xiren couldn't help but wonder, could it be that when he saw Second Master Bao coming to his home, he was worried that his heart would be taken away by Second Master Bao, so he quickly came in and declared his independence?
My heart was pounding, inexplicably complicated, and pounding nervously. All this time, she didn't know whether her master Jia Lian's attitude towards her was good or bad. After all, she had lost her virginity to Jia Lian out of necessity due to an accident.
Afterwards, Jia Lian was also lukewarm to her, alternating between hot and cold, causing her to often fall into self-doubt. It's fine now. No matter what Jia Lian's attitude towards her was before, today he was able to step into his humble house in person, which proved that he was not a completely dispensable character. He still cared a little about his little friend who had been bullied by him. The maid's.
Jia Lian didn't know that just a few words from him could make Xiren's self-defense reach an extremely high level. In his opinion, he stepped into Hua's house today just out of curiosity and stopped by to take a look at the girl in red.
He would not admit that he was a little worried when he noticed Jia Baoyu appearing in Hua's house. Putting aside Jia Baoyu's innocence and childishness, this little kid still has a way of coaxing girls. Although Xiren has a relatively mature mind, there is no guarantee that he will not be truly moved by such a gentle and kind-hearted young master, and end up giving up on his "first love".
Even so, it's nothing. He wasn't very interested in Xiren to begin with, but as a man, he always didn't like his woman to fall in love with someone else.
Seeing that Jia Lian was easy to talk, Hua Mu wanted to please her. Jia Lian, for Xiren's sake, muttered a few perfunctory words, and then said, "I've drank the tea. I still have a few words to explain to my younger brother. I wonder if the old lady can give me a place with my two brothers?"
Hua Mu was startled, and then she firmly believed that Jia Lian was going to start teaching Jia Baoyu, his disobedient brother, so she quickly agreed and led the other girls except Xi Ren to retreat.
As for the attacking sister-in-law, she had already slipped out of the back door.
"But you're attracted to it?"
Jia Baoyu's eyes were reluctantly peeled away from the "girl in red". Without any regrets, he suddenly heard Jia Lian making such a joke, and was immediately embarrassed and at a loss. He hurriedly said: "Brother Lian, what are you talking about? What... look... I've taken a fancy to..."
"I've noticed since I entered the house that your eyes have never strayed from other people's bodies. Isn't this because you are attracted to them?
You don't have to be shy. If you really like her, just tell me. Maybe I can help you achieve your wish. "
"Huh...what nonsense..."
Jia Baoyu stuttered in embarrassment, and at the same time he couldn't help but have thoughts in his heart.
Although Jia Lian took away the person he cared about most when he was an ignorant young man, he still had no doubts about Jia Lian's character, and he couldn't hate Jia Lian from the bottom of his heart.
For now, he was originally worried that Jia Lian would use his brother's power to teach him a lesson, or go back and file a complaint with Mrs. Wang. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian didn't seem to mean it at all, and just made fun of him.
So, he couldn't help but start to think about how sincere Jia Lian's words were! Although he looks down on those who seek fame and wealth, he
But he also understands that Jia Lian can accomplish many things that he cannot, and it may be very easy.
"Nonsense? If you think I'm talking nonsense, just pretend I didn't say anything. Oh, what a pity, my girl looks like she's almost getting married. Maybe the next time someone sees me, she's already a human being. I'm married. Oh, I think after this time, you won't be able to see her again, so it doesn't matter."
Jia Baoyu's heart suddenly tightened. Yes, given the disparity in family status between the Jia family and the Hua family, and the fact that he was restricted from going out, after seeing him this time, he might never have the chance to see him again in the future!
When he thought that such an innocent daughter would never see him again, he felt so uncomfortable that he almost cried.
Seeing his appearance, Jia Lian suppressed the smile in his heart and looked at the attacker next to him.
Xiren obviously understood what Jia Lian meant and said, "That's my aunt's daughter. She's fifteen this year."
Fifteen...
In this era, the most suitable age for girls to get married is fifteen, sixty or seven years old.
Jia Baoyu was finally seduced and couldn't hold back her thoughts, and timidly said: "Brother Lian, do you have any way to prevent her from getting married? What's the good thing about getting married? Isn't it good for my daughter's family to always remain innocent... …”
Jia Lian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and even Xi Ren couldn't help but glance at Jia Baoyu, his eyes speechless.
Jia Baoyu also knew that he had made a mistake, so he thought about it with a grimace, and then said, "Well, second brother, do you have any way to let her come to our house?"
"Well, there is a way...but it depends on what you mean.
If you really like someone, then ask someone to hire her and marry her into the family in a glamorous way. If you don't know how to deal with these red tapes, I can certainly help you organize it. "
Xiren said hurriedly: "Second Master, no, the old lady and my wife won't agree. How can we, from a small family like us, reach such a high level?"
Xiren didn't know why Jia Lian wanted to persuade Jia Baoyu to marry her cousin, but she knew that it would definitely not work. What kind of family they are, and what kind of family Jia's family is, how can they be compatible? Even she once hoped to get the status of an aunt beside Jia Baoyu at most.
Jia Baoyu was also stunned, and finally said dullly: "Sister Xiren is right, the old lady and the madam will not agree..."
[In view of the general environment,
No matter how naive Jia Baoyu was, she knew that her family would not agree to let her marry a commoner girl. If Jia Mu is more talkative, his mother will definitely not agree.
Jia Lian smiled. Sure enough, Jia Baoyu was like Qin Zhong at his core. He was a person who dared to think but not do anything. In other words, he couldn't take on the responsibility.
I asked him to marry her home, but I didn’t say that she would be the official wife. But thinking about it, Mrs. Wang would definitely not allow concubinage. In Mrs. Wang's eyes, Jia Baoyu is a pure and flawless jade, a precious treasure, how can she be tainted by a vixen!
Jia Baoyu was afraid of Mrs. Wang and did not dare to resist at all. Jia Lian had long known this.
It is absolutely impossible for such a person to protect the people around him. He couldn't even protect himself.
So Jia Lian ignored Jia Baoyu and looked at the attacker: "The mansion is currently recruiting maids. Your second grandmother also said that you want to choose a few useful people to be at your disposal. I think your cousin is very good. You can go back and tell me I'll ask your aunt and uncle, if they are willing, Rongguo Mansion is willing to hire you at a high price for a period of three years. After three years, you can get married independently."
Although Xiren's cousin is a little beauty that I pity, but for Jia Lian who is used to seeing beauties, it is just to satisfy his curiosity.
But for an ordinary boy like Jia Baoyu who never leaves home, this kind of innocent and innocent girl may be extremely lethal, just like the "second girl" he saw in the countryside on the outskirts of the city. Not to mention, Jia Baoyu is someone who can't take his eyes away from a good-looking girl, so it's not surprising that Jia Baoyu falls in love at first sight, because he falls in love at first sight a lot.
But after all, it was Jia Baoyu who took a fancy to it first, and Jia Lian was not ruthless enough to rob him indiscriminately, so he had the previous
Joking. If Jia Baoyu was interested, helping him would be enough to make up for the debt of taking away Xi Ren.
What, Daiyu? Sorry, Jia Lian didn't feel owed, he thought it was a just act.
Before confirming that Jia Baoyu did not have the ability or ideas to protect others, Jia Lian temporarily gave up the idea of giving the person directly to Jia Baoyu. He didn't want to do bad things with good intentions, and let alone a good girl's family, he would be tortured after entering Rongguo Mansion.
It's better to keep it by your side and give it to Jia Baoyu when he grows up. If Jia Baoyu hasn't grown up in three years, then I'm sorry, there is no reason to keep holding up this girl.
When Jia Baoyu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. It's good to be a maid, then he can see it every day!
Xiren sighed inwardly, knowing that once her cousin went in, she would never be able to come out again in three years. Even she could barely squeeze her teeth in front of these two men, let alone her young and troubled girl.
Fortunately, Jia Lian wanted to bring her cousin and Master Bao together. No matter this, she already felt deeply guilty for Jia Baoyu. If she could make up for it with her cousin, her conscience would be at ease. As far as my cousin is concerned, whether it is Second Master Bao or Second Master Lian, she is considered to be the one who has the upper hand.
So he put away the jealousy in his heart and nodded, saying that he would try his best to make peace.
