Chapter 597: Noble Character
"Second brother Lian, you don't have to be like this, I, I don't blame you, you get up quickly......"
No matter what strange thoughts turn in her heart, Daiyu is a pure-hearted person after all, she said to Jia Lian, and then looked at Jia Baoyu.
Those beautiful eyes stared at him, meaning I don't know what to do, you come and help me......
Jia Lian also immediately looked at Jia Baoyu's side.
Originally, to apologize to Daiyu was to eliminate Jia Baoyu's dissatisfaction with him, but at this time, seeing that Daiyu was fine, he immediately put on a more humble smile and looked at Jia Baoyu flatteringly.
Jia Baoyu sat down again after helping him up to welcome the Spring Festival, and watched Jia Lian playing there, he was unmoved, and even ate a bite of food slowly.
If Daiyu didn't look at him with "asking for help", he would have sat for a while longer to see if Jia Lian had any other tricks.
The room fell silent.
Jia Baoyu put down her chopsticks, took the towel handed over by the maid and wiped her hands, and finally turned around and looked down at Jia Lian.
"You are in the house over there, and when you meet people, you will say, "The eldest lord was killed by me, why, now that the enemy you think of killing your father is standing in front of you, you don't want to avenge your father, what are you doing on your knees on the ground?"
Jia Baoyu's words shocked many people.
They haven't heard of this rumor yet. But looking at the tense atmosphere in the hall, everyone was thoughtful, and they didn't dare to say anything or do anything.
Jia Lian's face was even more pale and hot, but he didn't expect Jia Baoyu to even know this.
But he only worked with one...... Two...... A few people have said it, and where they meet people, they will say it......
was panicked in his heart, but he knew that now was the time to decide his life and death, if he didn't answer well, let alone ask Jia Baoyu for help, it would be Jia Baoyu, maybe he would have to clean him up.
Therefore, he also ignored the changes in the diversity on his face, and said with a flattering smile: "What did Brother Bao say, the eldest man obviously did something bad and didn't dare to see the old lady, so he hid out to eat and drink at night, and happened to meet the rebels on the road and killed him, how could I be indistinguishable from right and wrong, and blame the blame on Brother Bao's head?"
It must be a rumor made by something that has a black heart and no conscience, and if I am caught when I turn around, I will definitely pick his skin ......"
As Jia Lian spoke, the expression on his face slowly changed, and the more he spoke, the more determined he became, and the last sentence even showed the meaning of impassioned anger and hatred with Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu looked at him, and his clean face quietly pulled out a touch of mockery.
After a few breaths, when Jia Lian's heart began to feel uneasy again, he nodded and said, "Recently, the situation outside is complicated, and all kinds of rumors can be heard everywhere, and this king has long been used to it.
It's okay for others to do it, but I heard that the second brother Lian also had this misunderstanding, and this king was really troubled.
Since the second brother Lian understands the righteousness, this king is a lot more at ease. ”
Jia Lian hurriedly said: "There will be no misunderstanding, there will be no misunderstanding, the eldest master did die in the rebellion, this is a fact that the government has confirmed." Whoever dares to spread such rumors in the mansion again, don't bother Brother Bao, I will immediately tie people up and beat them to death! ”
Jia Baoyu really laughed out loud this time, nodded and said, "Since Second Brother Lian didn't misunderstand, I will be relieved." By the way, you're here to apologize to Sister Lin tonight, right? Now that Sister Lin has forgiven you, what are you still kneeling there for? ”
When Jia Lian heard this, his face suddenly turned sneered again, he knelt on the ground, bowed down and said, "Actually, I came, in addition to making amends to Sister Lin, there is another thing I want to ask Brother Qiu Bao to ......"
Jia Baoyu smiled and was silent.
Jia Lian naturally knew that Jia Baoyu was deliberately looking at his jokes and waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
But he didn't dare to be dissatisfied.
In fact, until now, he still thinks that Jia Baoyu and the others are plotting rebellion, but they have successfully controlled the capital.
How dare a person not bow his head under the eaves?
Rebellion and rebellion are the things of those loyal and righteous people, who just want to save their lives!
Before coming over tonight, he had already made plans, as long as he could save his life, he was willing to do anything, and he could accept any grievances.
So he didn't care about the gaze next to him, and kowtowed twice at Jia Baoyu, and then said, "Please also Brother Bao...... No, no, no, I ask His Royal Highness King Jing to save me for the sake of his past feelings......
At that time, the family was very worried and afraid, worried that there would be officers and soldiers to raid it, in order to keep the family, I had to go to the Du Mansion, the prime minister's mansion at that time, and also sent some gadgets in......
His Royal Highness King Jing Mingjian, we were really just for self-protection at that time, and we had no intention of helping the rebel party, let alone plotting rebellion!
I also ask His Royal Highness King Jing to intercede with the court and open the net to ......"
Jia Lian looked at Jia Baoyu expectantly.
What he said is actually true, if you succumb to the general trend, even if it is rebellious, then now there are hundreds of official eunuchs in the capital, which one is not considered rebellious?
At that time, could anyone dare to disobey the second prince and oppose him? But Jia Lian also knows that Hugh has two official words, and the imperial court is even more so!
If anyone wants to deal with him, that's enough proof!
But if Jia Baoyu is willing to protect him, it is a trivial matter, after all, he has neither done anything wrong, nor has he provided any substantial help to the anti-party.
Even he had a guess that all this, including the recital of the royal history, was instructed by Jia Baoyu, and the purpose was to clean him up.
It's a pity that he doesn't dare to think about this kind of thought.
With Jia Baoyu's current fortune, he can't afford to resist at all.
Jia Baoyu looked at him and said lightly: "The affairs of the court have their own court judgments, although this king has the power, he cannot bend the law for personal gain." ”
Jia Lian's face suddenly turned pale.
The other people's expressions also changed, but when they saw Jia Baoyu, they said again: "However, the second sister has never begged me for anything before, and now it is rare to ask me once, if I don't care at all, I can't bear it."
Well, I will have people verify your affairs later, and if it is indeed as you say, I will help you tell the truth to the court. But if it turns out that the facts are not what you said, then there is nothing I can do. ”
Jia Baoyu's words were really plain, but when Jia Lian heard it, he was like being pardoned!
He immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "Thank you Brother Bao, thank you His Royal Highness King Jing...... Your Highness, rest assured, there is absolutely nothing in what I said......"
Jia Lian's joy was completely on his face.
He knew that Jia Baoyu and others didn't like to talk full, and when he said this, he had already promised to help him.
Jia Lian's performance made people who originally thought that Jia Baoyu was just polite and did not necessarily really help each other
So, Yingchun, who had been standing beside Jia Baoyu, showed tears of gratitude in his eyes.
She is not good at asking for help because she is afraid of being rejected.
So when Jia Lian found her, stated the benefits to her, and asked her to help intercede, she was extremely refused.
How could he listen to her for such a big thing?
This is the idea of welcoming spring.
But now Jia Baoyu made it clear that she was willing to help Jia Lian, and for her sake, she was very touched and warm.
It's a feeling of being cared for and cared for.
It's a pity that she didn't feel it in Jia Lian, a genuine brother.
"Okay......"
Kowtow to make amends, bow down and do small tricks, just watch it for a while, and feel a little annoyed when I keep watching Jia Baoyu.
Let Jia Lian stand up, and suddenly asked, "What are you doing on your back?" ”
Jia Lian was stunned, he didn't want Jia Baoyu to be such a smart person, and he couldn't see this.
"This, this...... Isn't it often said in the drama that 'guilty of petitioning'? It's just that I couldn't find 'Jingtiao' at home for a while, so in order to show my sincerity to make amends to Sister Lin, I went to the firewood room to have someone tie it up...... Is there anything wrong? ”
Jia Baoyu naturally knew this trick, and after listening to him, he said: "Second brother Lian should read more books and understand more things in his spare time."
That's it, now that the eldest lord is newly mourned, there are many things over there, and in the future, the second brother Lian will not have to spend time worrying about the affairs of the mansion here, and concentrate on handling the funeral of the eldest lord. ”
Only then did Jia Lian understand that Jia Baoyu wanted to deprive him of the power of the housekeeper of the outer court.
Since he got married, he has been assisting Jia Zheng in the affairs of the outer courtyard in this mansion, and now it has been seven or eight years, so it can be said that when he was in charge of the house here, Jia Baoyu was still a pure child!
Now, most of the time Jia Baoyu thinks he is an eyesore and wants to kick him away completely......
Although there were some emotions in his heart, he knew that he was not qualified to refuse.
Besides, if he acts like this now, it can be said that he has lost his face in front of the minions, and it is better not to let him take care of things.
So he responded neatly.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang and the sisters in the house had not finished eating, they repeatedly thanked Jia Baoyu and said goodbye, and then went out decisively.
……
Jia Lian's dramatic exaggeration refreshed the understanding of Jia Baoyu's identity among everyone in the hall.
For the maids and servants, Second Master Lian is a serious master in the family, but now in front of Second Master Bao, he can only nod his head blindly, which shows that Second Master Bao is very different from before after all.
Yes, they all say that "the king is the minister", and it is said that "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die".
Second Master Bao is now a person at the level of a "king", and Second Master Lian is just an insignificant courtier in front of him.
And the second master of Lian is the master of the family,
So, Second Master Bao is one level higher than the master? The master of the master?
Compared with the "cranky thoughts" of the minions, Mrs. Wang and others are naturally much more calm.
After all, they know more than the maids, and they have long been aware of the other meanings given by the change of Jia Baoyu's identity.
Jia Baoyu saw that everyone didn't move, so she asked Yingchun: "Second sister, have you ever had dinner?" ”
Yingchun shook his head, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
In fact, she didn't dare to stay here in her heart, but unfortunately Jia Lian left too quickly, and seemed to have completely forgotten about her, the girl who helped him.
"In that case, then you can sit next to Sister Bao."
Jia Baoyu said, helping Yingchun to the middle of Baochai and Daiyu.
Seeing this, everyone sat down again.
Mrs. Wang and the others sat down, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Baoyu, is there anything to do with Lian Er?" If you promise to help him now, will it affect you in any way? ”
The meaning of Mrs. Wang's words, if it is not easy to do, leave him alone.
This can be regarded as a knot in Mrs. Wang's heart many years ago, and the title of the family has always been on Jia Yu's side, and it cannot be passed on to Jia Baoyu.
Now that time has passed, Jia Baoyu no longer needs that title, but she still subconsciously feels that it is a good thing that the people of the big house are dead.
Even if Baoyu doesn't need it, it's good to give it to Lan'er......
Jia Baoyu looked at Mrs. Wang, blinked, and blinked.
"Poof......
Daiyu paid too much attention to Jia Baoyu, she was also familiar with Jia Baoyu's temperament, and when she saw his portrait, she couldn't help laughing.
Then Fang remembered that this was in front of his aunt and future mother-in-law, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and when everyone looked at her, he immediately explained: "The second brother is lying, when he lied before, it was like this......"
What Daiyu didn't make clear was that Jia Baoyu reacted weakly after her lie was exposed.
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, she also felt that Jia Baoyu had a strange expression, and vaguely saw something meaningful.
Listening to Daiyu's explanation, Fang woke up a little.
Then I felt a little inexplicable sadness in my heart, my son grew up, and I, as a mother, lost to others after all.
Jia Baoyu glanced at Daiyu, and then smiled herself.
"Don't worry, Mrs., it's not a big deal, Baoyu knows how to deal with it."
Jia Lian's matter is indeed nothing at all.
As he himself said, he was just afraid of wanting to protect himself, and from this level, he belonged to the same nature as Zong Zhe and others, and it was not in the empirical evidence of rebellion at all.
Otherwise, the huge capital, I am afraid that nine out of ten mansions will be raided and questioned.
The second prince's rebellion this time is a special situation, and the time is extremely short, after Jia Baoyu and others entered the city, in order to stabilize the situation, they all had a lenient attitude. Unless there is an actual crime of treason, there will be no wanton involvement.
Therefore, the matter of Jia Yu and Jia Lian, Zong Zhe and others did not even write it in the article, but just asked about Jia Baoyu's meaning and turned it over.
As for the performance of the imperial history Wang Lang, it was indeed instructed by Jia Baoyu.
Anyway, it is impossible for Jia Lian and the others to know the real situation in the court, and the handle is in his hands, isn't it rubbing at will? Even if you don't take his life, let him know that it's powerful.
Otherwise, Jia Mu and the others may not be willing to lock up Mrs. Xing in Shuiyue Nunnery, and Jia Lian may not be so honest.
As for why he didn't kill Jia Lian, there were many reasons.
For example, Jia Lian has no unforgivable evil deeds, and even in the two years he has just crossed over, he gets along quite happily with him, and he has some friendship.
In fact, compared to why he didn't kill Jia Lian, it is better to ask, why did he kill Jia Lian?
Just because you didn't report it once?
He's not so brutal and murderous.
Kill him to take possession of Sister Feng? Although Jia Baoyu doesn't claim to be a good person, he really can't do such a tasteless thing.
Therefore, although it is not pleasing to Jia Lian, it has not yet reached the point where it is impossible to take his life.
Jia Yu and Jia Lian's trivial has long disappeared under his words.
Unexpectedly, he didn't reveal this, but he scared Sister Feng'er, who has always been bold, and earned Sister Feng'er a fragrant promise by the way, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
