Chapter 18: Jia Zheng (Today's Second Watch)
Another girl led three people to wait in the house, and someone went to tell Jia Zheng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Jia Lian secretly looked at the furnishings in the house, and silently compared it with the big house in his heart.
I have to say that the intersection of the nouveau riche like a house full of gold and silver over there, this side does look a little more high-end.
However, Jia Lian was also curious in his heart, since Jia Zheng had such a good reputation and such a high evaluation outside, how could he still have time to teach him personally? Wouldn't it be better to teach Jia Baoyu with this kung fu?
Just as I was thinking about it, a little girl came in and blessed Jia Lianfu.
"The slave has seen the second master of the chain, the master, please move to the study."
Jia Lian got up and followed the girl out, and Jia Zheng was reading. Jia Lian hadn't seen Jia Zheng in the past few days, so he didn't feel it, and unexpectedly, in Jia Lian's heart, Jia Zheng's weight seemed to be heavier than Jia Yu's, and Jia Zheng was more tolerant of Jia Lian than Jia Baoyu.
Jia Lian quietly observed the middle-aged man in front of him and sighed in his heart.
Although Jia Yu and Jia Zheng are not much different in age, Jia Zheng looks much younger than Jia Yu, and he is upright, even if Jia Lian has some guesses about him in his heart, his good feelings are soaring at this moment.
"Nephew greetings uncle."
Although Jia Lian guessed in his heart, his face was not obvious.
Jia Zheng heard the voice, put down the book in his hand, got up and helped Jia Lian up.
"I'm in better shape, I had something in my department a few days ago, so I didn't have time to see you, I heard your aunt say that it's already better?"
Jia Lian said yes, and Jia Zheng motioned for him to sit down.
"I've discussed it with your father, since you don't like to study, then you don't need to go to school in the future, anyway, people like us don't ask you to get famous."
Jia Lian was surprised, thinking of his strictness to Jia Baoyu in the TV series, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Is this to give him up?
Although he didn't want to go to the ethnology where his friends were everywhere, Jia Zheng didn't want to be so obvious.
Seeing that Jia Lian didn't say anything, Jia Zheng glanced at him. According to his previous temperament towards Jia Lian, he told him that he didn't have to go to school, and that he should have jumped up a long time ago.
Picking up the tea on the table and taking a sip, Jia Zheng looked at Jia Lian with relief.
"Big, sensible, uncle is very happy to see you like this."
After speaking, he patted Jia Lian's shoulder again.
"Your aunt said a few days ago that she wanted to marry her niece to you, and she would marry her, but you didn't agree, but why?"
It turned out that they were waiting here, Jia Lian was really speechless, and the two of them were too anxious, but the more anxious they wanted to marry Wang Xifeng to him, the more he didn't want to marry.
was really impatient, and he couldn't pat his ass and leave, Jia Lian simply said with a bitter face.
"Uncle, actually, I've heard of that girl's name, and I'm not a fan of that type of girl. If the husband and wife are not harmonious, they will also be tired of uncles and aunts. ”
Jia Zheng was just polite, according to Jia Lian's words to him in the past, shouldn't he just agree?
Jia Lian saw Jia Zheng's words choked, his heart was dark, and the bitterness on his face increased a little more.
The two were silent for a long time, and Jia Zhengcai spoke a little helplessly.
"People are terrible, in fact, that child is not what the outside world rumores, but her parents went early, so her personality is stronger."
Jia Lian scoffed, he had never seen such an ugly appearance.
Maybe even Jia Zheng himself felt a little embarrassed, and after a few words, he let Jia Lian go.
Mrs. Xing had never had a chance to speak before at Jia's mother, and was sent back directly.
Jia Yu had analyzed the pros and cons of marrying Wang Xifeng to her before, so her heart was very congested at this time.
As soon as Jia Lian entered the courtyard, Mama Zhao greeted her.
"Madame is waiting for you in the house, and her face will not look good when she comes back."
Jia Lian nodded when he heard this, and he was a little satisfied.
Mrs. Xing's face was not good-looking, which showed that Jia Yu thought the same as him, which was good news. In this kind of battle between the two armies, the most feared is the pig teammates.
Entering the house, Jia Lian gave Mrs. Xing a salute, and Mrs. Xing nodded indiscriminately before she spoke anxiously.
"Your aunt is determined to stuff her niece into our room, and the old lady seems to be satisfied, but I'm afraid it's hanging this time."
Jia Lian naturally knows this, but the highest person in this family is Jia Mu, and Jia Yu doesn't dare to resist, what else can he do except be strong?
Feeling aggrieved, Jia Lian thought about it and spoke to Mrs. Xing.
"Mother's family is not suitable?"
Although he is actually more interested in the legendary flower-like sister Lin, he is only four years old now, and he has to wait until the Year of the Monkey......
In addition, there is really no one who can remember the woman in the Red Mansion, even if it is the predecessor, the real lady is rare.
Is it possible to find an Oiran to come back? Don't be funny, even if you are married home, you are a cheap concubine, if you dare to marry and be a wife...... That's against the law......
So he can only pin his trust on Mrs. Xing's mother's family.
Mrs. Xing waved her hand when she heard this, her face full of regret.
"Where is the right one, but there is a girl, but this year she will be nine years old, and her age is not compatible."
Jia Lian was made big by the forced marriage, so he simply threw everything to Mrs. Xing and Jia Yu, and picked up the carbon bar again to ponder.
Anyway, Jia Yu is even more reluctant for his son to marry such a daughter-in-law.
Jia Lian reluctantly drew a diagram with charcoal before, but it was not easy to follow.
First of all, it's too big, and secondly, it's easy to get your hands dirty.
Of course, he also tried to cut it a little smaller with a knife, but it was too brittle and broke at every turn.
As a result, Jia Lian didn't think about how to fix it all morning.
Since the pencil is not easy to get, Jia Lian thought about it again, why not use the simplest quill pen?
Just do it, Jia Lian had nothing to do anyway, so he simply pulled Xing'er Wang'er to the big kitchen.
Because I had already had lunch, there were not many people in the kitchen at this time, but two old women were still cleaning up.
Seeing Jia Lian coming in, he hurriedly put down the things in his hand and came up to say goodbye.
They are all old people, Jia Lian didn't want to embarrass them, she only said her own request, and the cook hurriedly went to the wings of the goose and plucked a few feathers for him.
Jia Lian originally thought that as long as there was ink, it could be used, but who knew that after writing a few words, the front end of the feather softened.
Looking at the transparent feather tube, Jia Lian thought about it and ordered someone to bring a basin of boiling water.
He remembered that bones usually hardened after cooking, and he didn't know if this would work.
After such a toss, it was not until dinner time that Jia Lian finally reluctantly made one.
The bare pole learned to be held vertically with a dagger on the tip of a fountain pen, and a cut was made in the place where he wrote. It's always easy to use, but unfortunately it's still not as convenient as the pencil pens of later generations.
When Jia Yu came back, Mrs. Xing hurriedly stepped forward to talk about this morning's incident, and Jia Yu's face became more and more ugly.
If Mother Jia really disregarded their wishes this time and insisted on letting Jia Lian marry Wang Xifeng, I am afraid that the title of the big house in the future will not be considered.
