Chapter 82: A Private Banquet
On this day, Jia Lian had just come back from outside and was about to ask Ping'er to help him remove his coat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But I only heard Wang Xifeng eat and say: "Second master, don't be busy, now that you are a big celebrity, how can you have time to stay at home, Aunt Xue came early, saying that she invited the second master to receive good things." ”
"Oh~ Aunt Xue has been here, so let's go together." Jia Lian said disappreciatively: "Aunt Xue's house is not another family, Feng'er, what kind of flavor are you eating~"
Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Lian and said: "Isn't it another family, it's not good to say that the old mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it. If you ruin the second master's good deeds, it's really a big sin. ”
Jia Lian had long been accustomed to Wang Xifeng's half-truths and half-truths, so he said to Ping'er on the side: "Ping'er, you come to comment, I said let her go with me, but she refused, but she was still so suspicious, isn't it unreasonable?" ”
Ping'er said: "I don't think our second grandmother is unreasonable, who doesn't know that the second master is now fragrant, and they are all thinking about how to pull it, I heard that there are still people outside who want to send concubines and second masters, we have not served well, why don't the second masters take one or two by the way, and teach us how to please the second master?" ”
"It's really damn it, I thought you could say a fair word, but I forgot that you weren't with Feng'er." Jia Lian pretended to say.
However, Ping'er still refused to let him go, and said: "Second master, don't care who I'm with, you just tell me if there is such a thing?" ”
Speaking of which, Ping'er is not presumptuous for no reason, because many people are begging for Jia Lian's exclusive right to sell Wuliang wine in a city, but Jia Lian only picks those wealthy families who have strength and a good reputation to cooperate, so some people who have not obtained the exclusive right to sell Wang Sun Gongzi actually want to vote for Jia Lian's favor, some give antiques and antiques, some send gold, silver and jewelry, and some people specially buy the girl who has never been in the world to give Jia Lian as a concubine.
It's just that all of these have been rejected by Jia Lian, but I don't know where the news came from, and it actually reached the ears of Wang Xifeng and Ping'er, and Ping'er asked it today.
Jia Lian finally knew why the master and servant were so angry today, but he could only explain with a wry smile: "This thing does exist, but if someone else wants to do this, I can't help it, besides, I haven't already refused on the spot, since you heard about it, I don't believe you don't know my reaction at the time." ”
At this time, I only heard Wang Xifeng snort coldly and said, "What, you really want to accept it to let us know?" If that's the case, you can go back now, and get all the dirty and smelly things back. ”
When Jia Lian heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Come on, I can't afford to provoke the two of you, can't I still hide?" Let's wait for me to go to Aunt Xue's to take it. ”
After speaking, Jia Lian turned around and walked outside the house, but when he was about to go out, he turned his head and said, "Ask again, are you going with me?" ”
Wang Xifeng replied: "The second master will take it by himself, my aunt and grandmother are still in charge of a lot of things inside, and they are busy." ”
So Jia Lian no longer insisted, and he didn't take the maid to follow, so he went to the residence of Aunt Xue's family in the northeast of the garden.
When I arrived at Aunt Xue's place, Aunt Xue, who was trustworthy, personally greeted her at the gate early.
As soon as she saw Jia Lian, Aunt Xue shouted affectionately: "Brother Lian is looking forward to you, they all say that Brother Lian is busy now, but the old body said that he is afraid of something, and he can't stop without resting when he is busy, and I don't know if it has disturbed Brother Lian'er's official business." ”
Jia Lian said: "Look at what my aunt said, the outside is for outsiders to see, our family pays attention to what these things do, but yesterday I also met with my aunt at the ancestor, if my aunt had something, but I didn't say it, but I want to spend money for me today." ”
Aunt Xue listened to it and said with a smile: "How is it a waste of money, I told Brother Lian earlier, and when I have nothing to do, I will come to Aunt Lian to sit here for a while, but Brother Lian is too coincidental and never comes; Early this morning, your Xue Pan brother got some new things out of nowhere, I thought that Brother Lian, you haven't been here for a long time, so I went to invite you little two, why don't you see Feng Yatou and Ping'er coming? ”
"She and Ping'er still have some trivial matters to do, so I can't wait to come." Jia Lian replied casually, and then asked: "I don't know what good things my brother Xue has gotten, so why doesn't my aunt miss me so much?" ”
As the two spoke, they walked into the house surrounded by the maids.
I saw that there was a seat in the house, and Xue Baochai was directing the maids to arrange the wine and food.
Xue Baochai saw Jia Lian coming in, gave a slight salute, and said, "Second brother Lian is good." ”
Jia Lian saw that Xue Baochai seemed to be a little unnatural, and she didn't like her mother deliberately pleasing herself, so she didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I've seen my sister, but there are no outsiders today, so why be so polite." ”
Xue Baochai nodded and stood behind Aunt Xue.
Then I saw Aunt Xue smile and said: "It's all a family, let's get rid of those false courtesies, today your uncompetitive brother doesn't know where to go, but he still has some filial piety, this morning he didn't know where he found such a thick and long pink crispy fresh lotus, such a big watermelon, such a long fresh sturgeon, such a big Siamese pig with a Siamese tribute, said to let us try it." ”
Looking at Aunt Xue talking and gesturing, Jia Lian interjected and said, "It can be seen that Brother Xue is filial to his aunt in his heart. ”
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "He only has this to say, so I ordered him to go to the old lady in the house, and the wives also shared some of it, and then thought that just because there were too few things, it was unevenly divided, and others were just fine, but Brother Lian couldn't eat it, so I went to invite my brother to come, and now that you are here, your unobtrusive brother doesn't know where to hook the fence, that's it, we don't have to wait for him, how about only the three of us today?" ”
Jia Lian knew that because the Xue family died early, Xue Pan was left with a stupid overlord who was not stingy, although Xue Baochai was smart, but she was a woman.
Looking at the huge business of the original family, it has not been a few years, and now it is so depressed, Aunt Xue is anxious, but she can only hate Xue Pan for not fighting, but there is nothing she can do.
Now I came to Kyoto to take refuge in my sister and live in Rongguo Mansion, although the Rongguo Mansion treats Aunt Xue's family like the most honored guests, and Jia's mother treats Xue Baochai like her granddaughter.
But Aunt Xue looked at her only son Xue Pan, who was still in the same way as when she was in her hometown, and Jia Lian, who was originally similar to him, has now become a hot figure in the capital, but Aunt Xue is not in a hurry, always thinking that Jia Lian can bring Xue Pan to the right path.
It's just that Jia Lian knows Xue Pan's nature, so he hasn't picked up this stubble.
At this time, I only heard Jia Lian reply: "Originally, there were some trivial matters outside, and I was a little upset, and when I returned home, I couldn't see that I was at ease, just because my aunt was sympathetic, and I could enjoy oral speaking, how could I not be happy." ”
