Say goodbye to the beauty and ride to Beijing.

Because the time was perfect, he practiced martial arts with his guards in the outer courtyard.

"Second Master, I have something to report to Second Master."

Zhao Sheng walked to his side with steady steps and whispered.

Jia Lian stopped his gesture, looked up at him, nodded and said, "Go to the study and wait for me."

A quarter of an hour later, Jia Lian walked out of the study with a gloomy expression. He turned back and glanced in the east direction, a coldness flashing in his eyes.

After returning home, he found that the layout of the courtyard was basically back to normal, so Jia Lian asked Sister Feng: "Didn't you leave Yingchun and the others to play more at home?"

"Come on, why didn't I stay? It's just that they don't care about playing with me, a common man. If you don't come back, they will leave."

Wang Xifeng said, holding Jia Lian's arms with both hands, pulling Jia Lian into the house, and whispered: "Something happened in Dongfu today, do you know?"

"What's up?"

"I don't know why, but Sister-in-law You, who has always been honest and responsible, offended Brother Zhen for some reason. The couple had a quarrel at home. I heard that Brother Zhen even beat Sister-in-law You..."

"It's not like you don't know what kind of person Uncle Zhen is. No matter how careful you are in serving him, there will always be times when he is dissatisfied. Is there anything to be surprised about?"

Although Jia Lian expressed indifference, because Sister Feng was supporting Jia Lian with both hands, her chest was also close to Jia Lian's strong arms. Therefore, she keenly felt that Jia Lian's arms moved when he said these words.

She couldn't help but look up at Jia Lian in surprise. Based on her understanding of Jia Lian, she vaguely realized that Jia Lian was not in a good mood now.

She was not keen enough to judge the relationship between Jia Lian and Youshi based on this... Although it was rare for an educated family like theirs to beat their wives, it was not unheard of, let alone Jia Zhen.

She only thought that Jia Lian encountered something unpleasant outside.

I wanted to ask, but when my head was close to Jia Lian, I suddenly smelled a very faint fragrance.

This faint fragrance was mixed with the smell of sweat derived from Jia Lian's martial arts training.

Wang Xifeng was familiar with everything about Jia Lian, including the smell of sweat, which she felt had a light fragrance that was not unpleasant, so she could distinguish other smells from it.

"I saw that you were not in a good mood when you went out. How dare you be angry because you failed to hook up with a good family outside?"

Jia Lian is about half a head taller than Wang Xifeng, and he noticed it as early as when she made small movements.

He was very surprised. Wasn't it? He rode back to Beijing, the wind blew all the way, and practiced boxing and kicking for half an hour when he came back. She could still smell it?

You know, that Miaoyu is not a woman with heavy makeup. Jia Lian is very sure that Miaoyu should just have a little elegant fragrance on her clothes. Anyway, even if he is not serious, he can't smell it.

Could it be that these ladies smelled the special smell secreted by the same female?

"Stop talking about these things here, I have something else for you.

This is the approximate quantity of various types of wood that the master and I have negotiated. You can send it to the Xue family and say thank you to my aunt..."

Seeing Jia Lian take out a slip from his arms, Wang Xifeng didn't bother to investigate the origin of the fragrance on Jia Lian's body, and said hurriedly: "I have to go to the steward's room to do some work later, and it's time to pay the monthly payment, so I'm busy.

Don't come.

Besides, I was not present when you and the master were discussing it. I don’t know exactly what you thought about it. What if the explanation is wrong? Wouldn’t it be a mistake?

According to me, it’s better for you to make the trip yourself, it’s only a few steps away, wouldn’t it be appropriate to explain the matter at once?”

When Jia Lian heard what she said, he didn't say much. He put the list back into his arms and went out while the weather was dark.

"No matter how busy you are, you are not in a hurry. At this moment, you are sweating. You should take a shower before going over. Be so respectful."

Wang Xifeng felt a little happy when Jia Lian nodded and sat down.

She gradually found a way to get along with Jia Lian. Although the heartless one acted with more positive ideas and even said he was arbitrary, he would still listen to her as long as what she said was reasonable.

So he hurriedly arranged for the girls to take care of him and bathe him.

…

In the backyard bathroom, Xiangling and Qingwen were alone, helping Jia Lian wipe his body gently.

They were all a little surprised when they saw Jia Lian frowning and not teasing them like he usually did.

"What is the second master thinking about?"

Finally, Qingwen couldn't help but tilted her head and asked.

Jia Lian looked at the melon seeds on the little head on the stretched out slender neck, smiled and pinched Qingwen's cheek, which she never tired of pinching, and said: "I was wondering when I would eat you two little girls."

"Yeah~~"

The two girls, Qingwen and Qingwen, were immediately embarrassed. Qingwen even resisted and scratched Jia Lian.

But after seeing Jia Lian making fun of them, he didn't do anything else. He just turned sideways and motioned for them to wipe the other side. Qingwen and Xiangling looked at each other with some resentment.

Second Master, don’t just talk without practicing.

Today, they all have been worried for a long time because of Jia Lian's ambiguous words before leaving the house.

I just thought that today’s second master’s good day will also become their big day...

"Second Master will say these things to tease us. In fact, he doesn't look down on us at all. He only likes Second Grandma Heping'er!"

Qingwen couldn't help but wanted to be more explicit.

She was the concubine that Jia Mu paid to Jia Lian, but she had been living in this courtyard for almost two years, and she was still in perfect condition!

If word spreads, she will be very embarrassed.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Jia Lian laughed, "Xiao Nizi, are you feeling spring again?"

Jia Lian was a little proud. For such a beautiful little girl with a unique personality, she thought about devoting herself to him every day. This was a very wonderful thing.

In fact, Jia Lian often had the urge to accept these two beauties earlier.

However, in this era, contraceptive measures are really poor or harmful, and Jia Lian doesn't want to hurt the foundation of these two babies.

Anyway, he also had Sister Feng and Heping'er, a pair of "burnt rolls" to enjoy first, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Moreover, watching them smile and laugh like this is also a different kind of enjoyment.

So he grabbed Qingwen and gave her some small punishments and severe punishments. He also tried to soothe her restless heart. Then he stood up, asked them to clean themselves, put on normal clothes, and went to Lixiangyuan.

Lixiangyuan is located in the northeast of Rongguo Mansion. It is the place where the old man retired in his old age.

The houses and yards are all small and unique, and the scenery is quiet.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Jia Lian came to Lixiangyuan after the Xue family moved in.

When they heard that Jia Lian came in person, the Xue family paid great attention to it.

Aunt Xue and Baochai came out to welcome her.

"I've met my aunt, sister Baochai."

After greeting and returning the gift simply and skillfully, Aunt Xue welcomed Jia Lian into the main hall. After hearing about Jia Lian's intention, she smiled and said, "It's just a small matter. You can just send a girl over here. How can I pay you back?"

Take a trip yourself."

Naturally, Jia Lian would not say that he was afraid that the little girls would not explain clearly, and said with a smile: "Not really, I just remembered that I haven't come to visit my aunt for a long time, which is really rude. I simply took the opportunity to come over and have a look, and ask my aunt by the way.

You and Baochai are still used to living here, but do you have anything I need to tell you?"

Valley

"Hehehe, brother is interested, but you don't have to worry. Your wife takes great care of us and has considered everything for us. I won't trouble you."

When you ask for help from someone, you have to show your attitude. Even if it is just a small talk, you should still say it.

So Jia Lian was not busy talking about business, but asked Xue Pan.

"He, he is a horse without a bridle. How can he have a home all day long? No, he doesn't know who he is looking for when he goes out.

However, when I heard about your birthday yesterday, he still clamored to go over to celebrate your birthday, but he gave up after we told him that we wouldn't do it during your filial piety period."

"In that case, I would like to ask my aunt to express her gratitude for me when he comes back. Thank you very much."

Jia Lian naturally knew that Aunt Xue wanted Xue Pan to be friends with him.

But there was nothing he could do. Although he didn't consider himself an elegant person, nor did he claim to be a gentleman, he really looked down on Xue Dashou's vulgar behavior.

Every time we meet, it's just a nod.

On the contrary...

Jia Lian raised his head and glanced down at Aunt Xue. Hengwu Jun Baochai stood quietly beside his mother.

I heard that she seemed to have failed in the election.

But Jia Lian only took a look at it. He knew what kind of person Xue Baochai was. He was not someone like Miaoyu and Daiyu, who could be coaxed into their arms with just a few words.

At least, at the moment, he is not strong enough to taint this woman.

So it's useless to think too much.

After coming out of Xue's house, Jia Lian did not go home immediately, but went to the study room of Dongkuaoyuan.

Here, Sun Zairen has been waiting for a long time.

"Young man, please see the Second Master."
