Chapter 104: Procrastination
Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng have been in love and sweetness for the past few years, although there is a slight suspicion, so many days of separation, they have long left this two-point suspicion behind, and when they heard that Jia Lian was back, they hurriedly greeted him.
"Uncle Guo is back, Uncle Guo is overjoyed!"
Jia Lian grabbed Wang Xifeng's Qianqianyu hand, pinching and pinching, looking at her as if water was about to flow.
To say that Jia Lian has been dry for half a year, when Lin Ruhai is there, he helps to tidy up the family business, and the Lin housekeeper has always been by his side, so he doesn't necessarily have to have fun in front of him, right?
When Lin Ruhai was seriously ill and unconscious, Steward Lin didn't stare at it, but when the four princes came, he had to endure it.
When the spirit is sent back to his hometown, the Lin family clan is a century-old scholar family, and he is polite, not to mention a girl, but a flat-headed mother and daughter-in-law are all well-behaved, and they are not easy to make times.
On the way back to Beijing, I thought I could relax a little bit, but when I heard about the eldest sister Feng Niangniang, I had to run over day and night.
Jia Lian is not a gentleman, but he has to be like a hungry wolf.
Wang Xifeng was looked at by him, his face turned red, and he was still reluctant to let go of Jia Lian's hand, and his phoenix eyes squinted at him.
Jia Lian was swept away by her affectionate eyes, and her whole body was crispy, where could she still bear it, and then hugged Wang Xifeng to the bed.
was about to do something, listening to the sound of muttering outside, which made people lose all interest, and shouted angrily,
"Who's out there!"
The voice quieted down, and Ping'er came in and replied, "It's Aunt Xue's Xiangling, Aunt Xue sent her to deliver something." ”
Jia Lian thought about Xiangling, remembered a certain beautiful woman, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided, "Xiangling, but that Xue Da fool's room person? ”
Ping'er replied, "It's her." ”
Wang Xifeng said jealously, "You remember her." ”
Jia Lian hurriedly coaxed, "Didn't you bump into it by accident before! ”
waved his hand, let Ping'er go down, and his hands began to be irregular again, lighting fires everywhere, and he was about to continue to act clearly when he heard that there was a girl outside to report, and the master invited the second master.
Jia Lian cursed once, but he couldn't, so he could only clean up.
This time I had to be disturbed again and again, not to mention Jia Lian, even Wang Xifeng was a little annoyed, called Ping'er in, asked her to help clean up, and asked,
"What is this aunt sending Xiangling to do?"
Ping'er hurriedly responded, "Where is Xiangling, is Wang's daughter-in-law, and she is getting more and more blind, and she is talking back and forth this day." ”
Wang Xifeng said, "Strange way, I said that my aunt asked Xiangling to come over and do it all day?"
Ping'er then took a bag from the outside, opened it and saw that there were three or four hundred taels of silver tickets and broken silver, Wang Xifeng looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, but one hundred taels turned over so much, it is a good business.
Ping'er made a mistake last time, and it was the time to be cautious, looking at such a big profit, he didn't feel at ease, so he cautiously persuaded,
"Grandma, the slave maid is a little scared when she sees that this profit is so big, as the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts, what if something happens?"
Wang Xifeng's subordinates were stunned, her greed for money and power remained the same, but after what happened before, she was much more cautious, and what Ping'er said made sense, but.
Wang Xifeng sighed and said, "I don't know how to do it, but the whole house is full of pomp and circumstance, so I said that now, I can't turn around for a while, and I have to use my dowry and silver to fill it, even if I have gold and silver, I can't stop spending like this!"
Ping'er thought about it too, she had the heart to persuade Wang Xifeng to restrain one or two, or tell the old lady about the family's difficult things, but thinking that she was so strong on weekdays, she still didn't dare to say much.
Wang Xifeng pondered for a while and said, "That's it, what you said is still reasonable, it's hard for you to think of me like this, it's just that the form is not up to anyone, now use my dowry silver to do this business first, don't touch the public school, and when the situation gets better in the future, then cut it off." ”
Ping'er said yes.
On the other side, Jia Lian went to the big study, Jia Yu and his wife, Jia Jing and his wife waited early, and Jia Lian stepped forward to say goodbye.
After Jia Yu cared for a few words, he asked, "On that day, you went out of Beijing with your sister Lin, why did you come back and your sister Lin didn't come back?"
Jia Lian responded, "When my aunt died, I had an order to let Sister Lin and Cousin Lin keep filial piety at the tomb for a year, but they couldn't come back. ”
Jia Yu replied "En", he didn't care about his affairs, only the old lady was concerned, so he asked two more questions.
Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it, "Then I don't know how to deal with your Uncle Lin's funeral?"
Jia Lian was surprised, and with a roll of his eyes, he knew what Mrs. Wang's question meant, so he replied,
"Uncle Lin's funeral is naturally in accordance with his will, most of the family property was sold and then handed over to the imperial court to help the disaster in Shanxi, the emperor thanked Aunt Lin for his loyalty to the people, and also sent the four princes at that time, and the current emperor praised it in the past and named the Duke of Wensu. ”
When Jia Zheng heard this, he was a respectful and upright figure, and when he heard this, he naturally praised, "Brother Lin Shi is dedicated to doing things for the court and the people, and he is a model for us to learn!"
His heart is extremely envious, Wen Sugong, that is almost the highest praise of the literati, although he was flattered because of his daughter Feng Jieyu, but in the end it is not as noble and decent as Lin Ruhai with his own ability.
Madame Wang opened her mouth, but she still couldn't say anything.
Compared with Jia Zheng's ignorance of family affairs, she knows that the family is difficult, and it is related to her daughter's decency, so she is naturally anxious, but first, Jia Zheng expressed her attitude and she can't refute it in public, and secondly, she has always shown mercy and kindness, how can she show her face of coveting the family property of orphans and widows in front of Dafang, Jia Zheng and her younger generation Jia Lian.
I didn't know what to say for a while.
As for Jia Yu and his wife, they don't care about their affairs, so naturally they don't care about themselves.
There was silence in the study.
Jia Lian was not a patient person, so he asked, "I don't know what the old lady called me to do?"
Jia Zheng and his wife didn't speak, and Jia Yu, as the head of the family, naturally had to say,
"The Emperor Taishang was physically unfit to abdicate, and today's consideration of the world's heart is nothing more than a "filial piety" word, the saint serves the Emperor and the Queen Mother day and night, and can not be a little filial piety, thinking that the hearts of parents and children in the world must be the same, the concubines in the palace have entered the palace for many years, and they are allowed to have a Chongyu Courtyard House, where they can be stationed in the guards, they may wish to invite the inner court to enter their private affairs, and they can do their best to make the most of their personal feelings and family. ”
When Jia Lian heard this, he said, "But this big sister is coming back." ”
Mrs. Wang responded, "But exactly!"
Jia Lian listened to this, and thought about what Mrs. Wang asked Uncle Lin about the future before, he is also in charge of the housework, where is there anything he doesn't understand, if he was in the past, he would definitely have to get involved, and he would have to get a quick one or two thousand taels, but now is different from the past.
As soon as he came, when he was in Jiangnan, he knew what kind of person Aunt Lin was, even if he was seriously ill, a few simple words to him would make him enlightened, and since he should take care of Sister Lin and Lin Rui's two children, how could he move his inheritance.
Second, since he has caught up with the present in Jiangnan, he naturally knows that his future cannot be in the inner house, so he has the heart to excuse himself and say.
"This eldest sister was named Jieyu Niangniang, and it is a major event in the clan to save relatives of the Hui nationality, why not ask the eldest uncle and the old lady to discuss one or two. ”
