After Jia Lian arrived in Kyoto, he was first busy making his subordinates return to the Beijing camp, and then went to hand over the Qin errand with Shui Rong, and was busy until the afternoon before returning to Rongguofu.

Because it was the first time he returned to the house after going south, this time he didn't go through the back door, and after the carriage that Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong came to pick up entered Ningrong Street, it stopped outside the black oil gate. Jia Lian jumped out of the carriage and asked, "How is Sister Lin's situation?" The ancestors in the house loved the sisters around them the most, and when they met Sister Lin, they wanted to like it. ”

Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong sent Lin Daiyu back to the house first, and they both smiled at this time: "What the second master said is that it is said that the old lady hugged Miss Lin when she met, and she loved her very much." Now Miss Lin is visiting the lord and lady of the two rooms with a few grandmothers. ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he was slightly satisfied. Although he acted rudely, he also had a delicate side, since he promised Lin Ruhai to take care of Daiyu, if he turned his head and made her feel wronged, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed to go to Hangzhou again in the future.

When the porter of the black oil gate saw Jia Lian returning to the house after nearly half a year, they all came to bow down to meet him, and said in unison: "The little one welcomes the second master back to the house." ”

Jia Lian nodded and stepped into the door.

Someone in the door had already heard the news and was waiting, it was Jia Lian's little maid Xing'er and Wang Xifeng's personal maid Ping'er.

Wang Xifeng is strong, and he has long said that he wants Ping'er to make a room for Jia Lian, so Ping'er is equivalent to half a master in the house.

Xiao Xing'er was weak and didn't dare to fight with Ping'er, at this time the two came over together, and Ping'er stepped forward first and said: "Second master, grandma knows that you are back, and she has prepared fragrant soup and new clothes, please wash the dust on the road." ”

When Jia Lian heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It's still a proper arrangement for Ping'er, and I know that I fed lice all the way." ”

His wife Wang Xifeng has never been gentle and considerate, Jia Lian knows that she is at most telling Ping'er to arrange it.

At the moment, several people walked together, and they had not returned to the house for nearly half a year, Jia Lian inevitably asked about the situation in the house, and Xing'er and Ping'er answered them one by one. Rongguo Mansion has been peaceful for a long time, and the whole mansion has been blinded by drunken gold, and it is difficult to make any big changes. Jia Lian left the house for half a year, as if he had never left.

When passing by the abandoned school yard in the east courtyard of the garden, Wang Shanbao's family greeted him and said with a smile: "Second master, I know that you are back, the master and the lady are waiting to see you." ”

Jia Lian nodded and said, "This is as it should be." ”

As he spoke, he asked Wang Shanbao's family to lead the way.

Seeing this, Ping'er on the side hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Jia Lian's ear: "Second master, it's better to go back and change into regular clothes first and then meet the master." ”

Jia Lian is still wearing a Biao Buzi official uniform, and it is actually a bit rude to wear it to meet the elders.

Jia Lian didn't care so much, with a wave of his hand, he just let Wang Shanbao's family lead the way.

The group went to Jia Yu's upper house.

Jia Lian was led in by Wang Shanbao's family to meet him. When he entered the door, he saw Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing sitting on the top.

It is also rare for these two to sit together, Mrs. Xing is getting older and frail, and Jia Yu is a heavy person, so the time to sleep in Mrs. Xing's room is really small over the years.

Jia Lian entered the door and bowed his head first.

The eldest lord Jia Yu saw that Jia Lian was full of commotion, and after a long time, he asked Jia Lian, who was visiting, to get up.

… Thinking about this Jia Mansion, which son is not afraid of his father? is the only Jia Lian, who began to come to power last year and fight openly with Jia Yu, who is Lao Tzu, which made the Rongguo Mansion unpeaceful, and he is still like a nobody.

When Mrs. Xing saw Jia Lian getting up, she smiled and said, "Lian'er... When you're away from home, can you get your business all the way? ”

Jia Lian replied: "It's appropriate." ”

The two of you replied a few words back and forth, although they are mother and son in name, but they have never had many contacts, and there are few words, so there is nothing to say.

Jia Yu saw that Jia Lian had come to see them on a routine basis, so he immediately slapped the coffee table in his hand and shouted, "Lian Er! To tell you the truth, how did Jia Rong from Lidong Mansion provoke you last year? I can't get out of bed at the end of the year when I was beaten by you! If this matter spreads, and the people in other rooms say that our Rongguo Mansion is bullying the patriarch of Ningfu because of its great power, my face will be gone, master! ”

The matter still happened. Jia Lian was calculated by Third Sister You last year, and in the past, Ning Guofu beat Jia Rong so that she couldn't take care of herself. And at that time, it happened that King Beijing came to the door and pulled Jia Lian into the Qincha team and went south, and this matter was suppressed.

At the end of the year, when Jia Rong came to Rongguo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Jia's mother, she was carried by someone, which was really miserable.

Jia Lian, as a beater, was a little dissatisfied when he heard Jia Yu's question at this time, and said coldly: "Why, does Jia Rong dare to come over to complain, look at what kind of he did, he dared to be a bad person at a young age!" Just told me to beat him, and that was for the sake of his relatives. ”

Jia Yu casually threw the teacup in his hand and scolded: "Okay, you bastard..."

The teacup was dodged sideways by Jia Lian.

After Jia Yu threw the teacup, he immediately got up, came over and grabbed Jia Lian, but instead lowered his voice and said:

“… Anyway, I won't have anything to do with you about Dongfu. Tell me, after Jia Min is gone, what is the name of Lin Ruhai, the dowry of the Jia family, that she brought with her? Lin Ruhai gave birth to a girl, so he wouldn't give the silver to his brother of the same clan? ”

Jia Lian was thrown a teacup, and his heart was on fire. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian came over but suddenly changed his words, which made Jia Lian stunned.

Jia Yu is still chattering, and now people close to him know that Lin Ruhai is about to cut off his heir, so it's no wonder that he has the idea of making money. When Jia Min got married, the old man was still there, and Lin Ruhai was considered to have climbed the Jia family at that time. Jia Min is a concubine, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the dowry brought a mountain of gold, and Jia Min is very hot when he thinks about it now.

At this time, Mrs. Xing thought that the two were going to quarrel again, so she also stepped forward and wanted to persuade her before making trouble.

Seeing Mrs. Xing coming, Jia Yu let go, not because he was afraid that the troubled matter of planning his sister's dowry would be discovered, but because he didn't want to share Mrs. Xing's pie.

Jia Yu motioned to Jia Lian with his eyes, wanting to see if Jia Min's dowry was a problem. Jia Lian should know the inside story in Yangzhou, so he came forward to ask Lin Ruhai for money, and it didn't hurt to share some soup for Jia Lian to drink when the time came.

Seeing that Jia Yu let go, Jia Lian straightened his clothes, and somewhat understood that Jia Yu had only mentioned the matter of Jia Rong, I was afraid that it was just a disappointment for him, and the serious matter was still waiting here.

However, Jia Lian didn't have the heart to plan the dowry of the dead, and said with a frown: "The dowry on my aunt's side is naturally reserved for Daiyu, how can there be any reason to return to my mother's family here, and the old man's thoughts are also a little stumbling." ”

After that, Jia Lian turned around and left, lest Jia Yu would make a noise to stop him, so he stepped out of the door in only three or five steps and walked away.

Jia Yu stayed in the house, and because Jia Lian directly exposed the embarrassment, he turned his head and glared at Mrs. Xing on the side. When she retreated, Jia Yufang gritted her teeth and said, "This rebel! I don't accept the kindness of the end, I really want to be honest with the master! ”

……

Jia Lian walked out here, secretly feeling bad luck in his heart. and Ping'er Xing'er, who was waiting outside, left the east courtyard of the garden together, crossed the north-south sandwich, and turned back to their own yard.

Sister Feng's Wang Xifeng is at home, she and Jia Lian have grown up together since childhood, and they have seen each other again after a few months.

After Jia Lian changed his clothes and came out, Wang Xifeng asked Jia Lian if he had any rewards from the court on his next trip to the south.
