Jia Lian returned to the front hall smiling all the way.
Originally, I just wanted to see Miaoyu with my own eyes and see what this woman, one of the Twelve True Beauties, really looked like.
He teased her on a whim, and Jia Lian was also surprised.
No regrets at all.
Anyway, Miaoyu didn't really become a nun, so his doing so was not considered blasphemy against the Buddha.
Anyway, Miaoyu's six sense organs are not clean to begin with, so let her experience the love between men and women in advance, so that she will not be upset when she comes to Jia's house and sees the fake man Jia Baoyu, and she can't control herself.
In any case, Jia Lian thought that it was impossible for him to learn from Jia Baoyu's "fresh and refined" attitude, to demean himself and the group of men to cater to all women, and thereby please the girls.
As for an abnormal woman like Miaoyu, it is estimated that only a person and behavior like Jia Baoyu can get along with her, so from the beginning, Jia Lian never thought of making friends with her like an ordinary woman in the hope of impressing her.
Therefore, Jia Lian felt that today's incident would probably leave a deep impression on her heart when dealing with such an upright woman who did not pay attention to all worldly people and regarded herself as aloof and pure.
As for whether this impression was good or bad, Jia Lian didn't care.
Seeing that Daiyu was still being baptized by the master, Jia Lian did not care about feeling sorry for her. He explained to Grandma Wang and others before leaving Panxiang Temple.
I found Zhaoer and others, who were gathering under the roots of a big tree to play dice. When they saw Jia Lian, they all hurriedly put them away.
"Have you heard what I asked you to inquire about?"
"Hehe, I heard about it. The second master is right. There really is a family named Xing living outside the Panxiang Temple. Just to the left of the temple, even though they are separated by a wall, they are all the houses of the Panxiang Temple.
It is rented out to people from outside all year round, and there are about seven or eight households."
Upon hearing Jia Lian's question, Zhaoer stepped forward like a dog and replied with a smile.
Jia Lian asked them to lead the way to Xing's house.
Xing Xiuyan is also a rare woman in the Red Mansion. Although she is not included in the main list, it is certain that she should at least be at the top of the supplementary list.
Moreover, Xing Xiuyan, as Mrs.
Panxiang Temple was originally a small temple. Later, the land was enclosed and walls were built, which blocked some of the original houses of the temple. Later, the temple was no longer needed, so it was rented out at low cost to poor people who had no houses to live in.
The Xing family took advantage of this convenience and has been renting it for seven or eight years.
On this day, Xing Zhong, the head of the Xing family, went out to do some work, leaving only his wife Shao and his daughter Xiuyan at home.
Xing Xiuyan helped her mother with the usual needlework, packed up the books and textbooks she borrowed from Panxiang Temple the day before, wrapped them in bags, and came to bid farewell to her mother.
Xing's mother asked: "Are you looking for Miaoyu again? If you go to see her so often, won't Miaoyu bother you?"
"No, Sister Miaoyu is very nice."
Mother Xing smiled and said, "Then remember to come back early for dinner."
Xing Xiuyan agreed to her mother's words, hugged her baggage and walked out. As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she looked up and saw several men walking over.
Seeing that they seemed to be heading towards their home, Xiao Xiuyan thought for a moment, gestured to them, then turned around and shouted to her mother inside: "Mom, are there any guests coming to our house today?"
"What kind of guest?" Hearing her daughter's voice, Xing's mother dropped her head and walked out.
Seeing several strangers who had arrived at the door of the house, he quickly protected his daughter behind him and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Seeing Shao's obviously vigilant look, Jia Lian, who had just led Zhao'er and Zhang Yong to find him, couldn't help but secretly thought, ordinary people in this era really have no sense of security. They are so scared when they see strangers. Miaoyu was like this before.
, and so is the woman in front of me now.
In comparison, the little girl looked much more normal.
"May I ask if this is Uncle Xing's house?"
Jia Lian raised his hands to Shao and asked.
"You are?"
Jia Lian did not want to frighten Shao and others too much, so he directly revealed his identity: "Jia Lian, my junior, once heard from my wife when I was at home that my uncle's family lived in Panxiang Temple in Suzhou. He happened to be in Suzhou recently, so he came here specially to visit me.
Uncle and aunt."
Shao took a careful look at Jia Lian and others, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you from the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing?"
No wonder Shao was cautious. Although she knew that her husband had a very good sister, she married into the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing and became the head wife, and she was very wealthy. After all, she and her husband were not from the same mother, and the relationship between brother and sister was relatively weak.
As a result, we have hardly heard from each other for more than ten years.
When she suddenly heard that the other party had sent people to see them, she naturally felt very surprised and sudden.
"Exactly."
Jia Lian smiled, glanced at the girl who stuck her head out, and said with a smile: "Is this cousin Xiuyan?"
I saw that Jia Lian even knew his daughter's name. If he wasn't a bad guy, he would probably be fine.
Mr. Shao immediately smiled with surprise and greeted quickly: "It's such a rare visitor. I didn't expect that after so many years, my eldest sister can still remember us. Well, how is she doing now?"
"Our wife has always been blessed with good health and good health."
"Indeed, she is such a lucky person..."
Shao suddenly became embarrassed. He looked left and right and said in embarrassment: "Our family is poor. Look, this distinguished guest has come to our door, and we don't have anything to entertain him. This..."
After hearing this, Jia Lian looked into the courtyard. Although the courtyard was really not big and there were not two rooms, it was very neatly kept and very clean.
"Auntie is joking. I am a junior and it is inappropriate to bother me rashly. If auntie says this again, she is blaming my nephew."
After hearing Jia Lian's words, Shao's eyes narrowed in laughter.
Although Jia Lian did not wear gorgeous clothes because of Jia Min's new mourning, his ordinary plain clothes could not hide his noble demeanor at all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at Jia Lian's fair skin, handsome appearance, and his every word and deed, he is also elegant and polite that ordinary people can never match. I thought that if such people are all bad people, God
I'm afraid there won't be any good people down there. So I threw away my last worry and greeted a few people to come in.
Jia Lian followed him in, but Zhaoer and Zhang Yong behaved well and just stood outside the door, refusing to come in no matter how Shao called them.
The style of such a big family made the Shaw family secretly admired.
So he personally took a new bowl and poured tea with Jia Lian. When he saw his daughter still standing by the side blankly, he quickly said: "Why are you standing there stupidly? Why haven't you come over to meet your cousin?"
Xing Xiuyan had already put down her book. After hearing her mother's words, she politely stepped forward to greet Jia Lian.
Although he was born into a poor family, Xing Xiuyan's etiquette was somewhat like that of an ordinary person. Even people from a big family would probably not be able to find anything wrong with her.
Jia Lian also took a rough look at Xing Xiuyan.
Although the teenage girl wears a hairpin skirt, her body is clean, and her golden eyes seem to be shining, making her look very cute. Especially her whole body, which has a faint radiance of ashes.
Her elegant and elegant temperament was unlike any other woman Jia Lian had ever seen before.
It can be seen that he is Miaoyu's apprentice.
However, although Xiuyan inherited Miaoyu's aloofness, she did not have Miaoyu's aloofness and aloofness that could be seen at a glance.
It’s no wonder that in the future, she will be able to write poems like “It seems that the color is not ordinary, the shades are in the ice and snow.” It is conceivable that when she grows up in the future, she will also be a top-notch beauty with both elegance and elegance, talent and appearance.
"Come, please sit down and drink tea..."
Shao pulled out the bench beside the table, wiped it with his sleeve, and invited Jia Lian to sit down again.
Jia Lian knew her mentality, and he would feel uneasy if he was polite to the other person, so he invited each other and sat down, and then asked: "Why isn't uncle at home?"
"He went out to work with others. I heard that Zhang Yuan's family in Nancheng was going to build a manor outside the city and they were short of laborers, so your uncle went there. He has been so busy these days that he just didn't touch the ground.
I’m afraid I’ll have to come back very late.”
This is the pain of running around for the sake of family income. Even though Shao told the truth, he couldn't help but stare at Jia Lian, fearing that he would show disgust.
Jia Lian didn't, so he casually chatted with Shao for a few words, thinking that things might be over with Daiyu, so he didn't want to stay any longer.
He took out the twenty taels of silver that had been wrapped in silk in advance, and then said apologetically: "I am in a hurry, and I came to the door without preparing a gift. It is really rude... There are a few taels of silver in here, so I will buy two for sister Xiuyan."
Just a piece of clothing, it can be regarded as a little bit of my thoughts."
"How does this make..."
Shao immediately refused. Although they were poor, they still knew each other. It was so heavy, how could it only be a few taels?
Jia Lian smiled and saw that none of them answered, so he bowed and took Xiu Yan's hand and put the silver into her hand.
"Well... Xiuyan, why don't you thank your cousin quickly? You girl..."
When Shao saw that Jia Lian was giving the gift seriously, he could not resist the temptation in his heart. He just asked Xiuyan to thank him out of politeness, and at the same time blamed Xiuyan for not accepting the words.
Jia Lian originally came here just to see Xiuyan in advance, but now that his purpose was achieved, he stood up and left.
"Junior has other things to do, so I won't bother my aunt too much. When my uncle comes back, I'll ask my aunt to say hello on my behalf."
"Why are you leaving? It will be noon soon. It's not too late to stay and have dinner before going..."
Shaw tried his best to persuade her to stay, but was unable to do so. She could only watch Jia Lian and others suddenly arrive and leave suddenly.
I felt a little dreamy in my heart for a moment.
He reached out to pick up the small package that his daughter was still holding, and carefully untied the fine blue silk.
Wow, there was indeed a pile of white flowers inside, all of which were small silver dices the size of one or two taels. He took out one and bit it to confirm that it was real. The smile on Shaw's face became brighter and brighter.
