In the afternoon of that day, Jia Lian went to the Bingma Si Yamen to make the handover, and then began to prepare for matters related to going south.
As for Shenji Camp, Jia Lian doesn't have much energy to take care of it now. He only went to the base camp of Shenji Camp after the Great Court Meeting, and got to know the main generals and people in charge.
I don't care much about things over there anymore.
Although in his plan, understanding and reforming the fire equipment of the Wei Kingdom will be an important task for him in the future, but he is not in a hurry. He has to wait until he returns from Jiangnan.
When I returned home in the evening and entered the East Crossing Hospital, Liu Xianglian came to report.
"Have you settled all your family matters?"
"I reported back to the Marquis that everything has been taken care of. I also bothered Brother Zhao and the others to arrange a place for me in this mansion. From now on, I will live in the mansion."
Liu Xianglian was naturally handsome, but now she has lost her cynical and prodigal attitude and changed into a simple and close-fitting outfit. While showing some ability, she has become more masculine and heroic.
Although Liu Xianglian consciously changed her appearance without his instructions, Jia Lian was naturally very satisfied. He nodded and said, "I heard from Baoyu and Lai Shangrong that you also have a property in Beijing. In fact, there is no need to move to the mansion.
Just come over and order it someday."
Liu Xianglian's family was poor, but it was also a poor family. It was said that there were two or three servants at home. When they moved to Dongkua Yuan, they could only live in a row house for other people. Naturally, the conditions were not the same as having someone to serve at home.
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Marquis, but I have neither elders nor wives or children at home, so I really have nothing to worry about. Why not move here and train with Brother Zhang and the others every day? This will not only enhance the relationship with the brothers, but also
Always at your beck and call."
Liu Xianglian saw it very clearly.
Not only did Jia Lian possess the two qualities of holding the palm seal of the Western Soldiers and Horses Division and the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion, but he was also often entrusted with important tasks by the emperor and went out to the capital to do business. This shows the prosperity of the Holy Scroll.
The most rare thing is that Jia Lian is still so young and has just been ennobled, so there is a vacancy around him.
Since he had this opportunity and was recruited by Jia Lian at this time, he would be really stupid if he could not seize the opportunity to gain Jia Lian's trust and reliance.
Therefore, let alone his wandering around, even if you really have any concerns, you have to put them aside for the time being and focus on Jia Lian's side.
"Very good, that being the case, I will not break the promise I made to you that day. From today on, you will be my personal guard, the third deputy captain. Well, let's do it this way, you were recruited from the Soldiers and Horses Division
More than a dozen personal guards will be handed over to you from now on.
If there is more, I won’t explain it to you. I’ll just say one thing. I, Jia Lian, will never treat my own people badly, let alone my brothers. So, don’t be afraid that you will have nothing to do with me in the future. Just be afraid that if you don’t have the ability, you will
Things are done, do you understand?"
Jia Lian patted Liu Xianglian's shoulder and found that he was a little taller than Liu Xianglian. Yes, he could not surpass him in appearance, he was a little taller, and his figure was weaker than him, not to mention his status and status, so,
You don't have to worry too much about this subordinate taking his limelight in the future.
How did Liu Xianglian know what her Marquis was thinking now? He was very excited at this time. When Jia Lian's palm touched his shoulder, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said seriously: "I understand, from now on
Finally, thank you Lord Marquis for your support and cultivation!"
"Hehehe, get up. By the way, get ready. Early tomorrow morning, I will hold a banquet in the hall and invite Xue Pan. When the time comes, you and he will toast a few glasses of wine and apologize. From now on
Let the matter between you and the Xue family be settled.
Do you have any opinion on this matter?"
Liu Xianglian naturally had no doubt about this and nodded in agreement.
So Jia Lian ordered people to go to Xue's house to invite Xue Pan to a banquet tomorrow, and then went to see Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng told him the news that he had decided to invite the imperial concubine to the palace on August 15th this year, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"August 15th?"
It was only the first month of the year, and there was still more than half a year before the Mid-Autumn Festival. In fact, Jia Lian wanted to invite Yuanchun back home to visit his relatives as soon as possible, because in that way, Daiyu, Baochai and others could move into the Grand View Garden as soon as possible.
It is incomplete without the Twelve Golden Hairpins of the Grand View Garden.
However, when I think about it, the Grand View Garden has not yet been fully constructed and properly arranged. It will take at least two or three months to be fully prepared.
Secondly, it is indeed necessary to have a good time to invite Yuanchun home. Counting from this point of view, only the Mid-Autumn Festival is the best day.
Anyway, my trip back to Beijing will be at least in April or May. If I prepare for another two or three months, the grand event of Yuanchun Provincial Provincial Government will be easily organized.
Therefore, he agreed with Jia Zheng's decision.
So the uncle and nephew divided their work again, Jia Lian went to prepare his own affairs, while Jia Zheng also continued to prepare the garden and arranged to write a memorial to invite Yuanchun to return home.
On the second day, Liu Xianglian's apology to Xue Pan went smoothly.
Xue Pan himself was a big man, a person who only drank wine and talked about loyalty. With Jia Lian as a peacemaker, and Jia Lian inviting Jia Baoyu and Lai Shangrong as witnesses, after Liu Xianglian seriously toasted him with three glasses of wine,
Not only did he smile like a normal person, but he also called Liu Xianglian a good brother.
Even Jia Baoyu didn't like Liu Xianglian's "condescension" to be Jia Lian's personal guard, but he was happy because Liu Xianglian could be stationed in Jia's house and he could meet her often, so he apologized.
Wine, it was a perfect ending.
It is worth mentioning that Xue Pan also sent a letter to Jia Lian with a thousand silver tattoo, saying that his second uncle died a year ago and his aunt wrote to report it. Aunt Xue was not in good health and could not go back, so she could only send a letter home.
, to express comfort.
As for the sacrificial silver, it was naturally a silver note. After Xue Pan asked Jia Lian to go to the south, he had someone change it into silver and send it to his second uncle's house.
Although Baoqin's father's death had been expected for a long time, when he actually heard the news, Jia Lian couldn't help but sigh that the life span of people at that time was indeed too short.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as you reach a certain age, a serious illness can easily kill you.
Sure enough, life is rare in the past seventy years, and it is indeed rare for people to live as long as Jia Mu. Therefore, it is no wonder that people at that time had the saying of accumulating blessings, and called those who had short lives as unlucky people.
As a result, Jia Lian became more determined to exercise every day, and practiced for an extra hour that night.
But unexpectedly, when he was about to go home and take a shower, he met a woman.
A somewhat pretty woman carrying a food box.
"Second Master Lian..."
On the roadside at dusk, a woman's voice pretending to be coquettish and frivolous greeted him, and Jia Lian raised his head and glanced up.
It turned out to be Qingwen's cousin, the legendary wife with a lot of worms, and a lot of girls!
At first, Qingwen felt sorry for her cousins and asked Jia Lian to bring them to Rongguo Mansion to eat. Since there were so many bugs that would kill them, the couple helped in the big kitchen...
Speaking of which, there are many girls, but they are one famous character in the original work.
With some good looks and a libertine personality, he became very popular in both houses of the Jia family, and almost all the men in the two houses were "promiscuous".
Not only did the romantic young master Jia Lian fall under her pomegranate skirt, but she even made the clean and white young master Jia Baoyu of the troubled world get pressed on the kang and ate a lot of tofu...
It can be said that she is the most romantic woman in the Red Chamber.
Although this woman was considered destined to be with him, Jia Lian certainly had no interest in her, so he nodded casually and walked forward.
Seeing Jia Lian ignoring her, Miss Duo seemed a little annoyed. She stamped her feet and saw Jia Lian about to walk over. At this moment, she saw Jia Lian's handsome figure, the bulging muscles on her bare arms, and the cold wind coming from Jia Lian's body.
The faint scorching breath made her lustful.
He immediately took the idea into his mind, and as soon as the sheep suit fell down, he fell on Jia Lian.
Jia Lian never expected that this woman would dare to do this. Firstly, she was still carrying something in her hand, and secondly, because she was a relative of Qingwen, he did not kick her immediately, which gave her an opportunity.
The moment he fell towards him, a pair of hands began to wipe his body.
"Do you think your life is too comfortable?"
The cold voice made many girls shiver all over because they threw themselves on Jia Lian and faced Jia Lian's charming "manly sweat" aura.
He timidly let go of Jia Lian, raised his head and glanced at Jia Lian, and said sarcastically: "What does Second Master Lian mean by this? The slave family is just grateful to Second Master for taking him in and wants to repay Second Master..."
As he said that, seeing that Jia Lian was unmoved, he felt aggrieved again, "Although I'm not as naturally beautiful as my sister-in-law, I'm not ugly at all. Why is the second master so ignorant of the style?"
Originally, she dared to take the initiative to hook up with Jia Lian because Qingwen was favored by Jia Lian and she knew that Jia Lian was a kind person to his servants.
In fact, since they entered Rongguo Mansion, thanks to Qingwen's relationship, the couple has lived a comfortable life in Rongguo Mansion.
Because of this, she searched for a lot of guests that she could appreciate... Of course, those who could benefit her and were a little bit dissatisfied were fine.
As for Jia Lian, she didn't dare to covet him at first.
It's just that she happened to meet him today, so she couldn't help it. Because based on her countless experiences with men, there is no man who doesn't cheat, and she never thought about climbing up Jia Lian's high branches, and she never thought about it. If she wanted to seek any benefits from Jia Lian, she just wanted to have sex with Jia Lian. She felt that there should be some opportunities.
At this moment, seeing Jia Lian condescendingly looking at her as if he were a dead person, she felt fear and regret, and her body, which was originally slender and weaker than that of an ordinary woman, shrank back more and more.
Seeing her like this, Jia Lian softened his expression a little.
"First of all, I'm not interested in you, and I'm even less interested in a woman who can do anything for you. Do you want me to make it clearer?"
Faced with Jia Lian's still cold and stiff attitude, the girls could only respond by chatting.
"Secondly, when I took you and your wife in, it was only because Qingwen begged me so hard that for her sake, I allowed you to enter the house and receive a share of the common meal.
You have been in the mansion for a long time, so you should know the rules of the mansion. If you want to live well, you must abide by the rules. There will be a next time..."
"No, I don't dare anymore. I will never do this again. Please spare my life..."
Sex makes the mind faint, and it does the same to women.
In the past, lust filled my heart and I lost all care. But now that I was scolded by Jia Lian, I remembered the consequences.
Not to mention that Jia Lian was out to kill the general. In his eyes, killing a person should be a very simple matter. Let's just say that if Mistress Lian knew about this, she would not be able to live with it.
So he hurriedly knelt down and begged, not daring to make Jia Lian really angry.
"Go down."
"Yes, thank you Lord Marquis for your forgiveness..."
Seeing this woman, who was even more seductive and vulgar than Aunt Zhao, shaking her butt and leaving, Jia Lian turned around and shook her head.
He has always been relatively tolerant towards women, and after all, this woman was one of Qingwen's only two relatives in this world, so Jia Lian let her go so easily.
But when I thought about it, I didn't blame this woman for being bold. Maybe it was because his charm was so strong that even such an experienced woman couldn't control it.
More importantly, he remembered that in the original work, Jia Lian took the initiative to seduce this woman and spent money! But now, when this woman saw him, she couldn't wait to pounce on him. It can be seen that his charm is by no means Just this handsome body gave him.
More importantly, his temperament is so charming!
Thinking of this, Jia Lian still disliked being touched by the woman, so he wiped it with his sleeves and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, when I raised my head, I met a pair of beautiful and gentle eyes through the lattice window on the front wall.
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, then walked over.
It turns out that Sister Feng's Children's Courtyard and Li Wan's Courtyard are both behind Madam Wang's Courtyard, but Li Wan's Courtyard is directly opposite Madam Wang's Courtyard, while Sister Feng's Children's Courtyard is a little to the west.
The East Crossing Courtyard is in the east, so every time Jia Lian goes home, he will pass by Li Wan Courtyard. Sometimes, in order to take a shortcut, Jia Lian even enters Fengjie Courtyard directly from behind Li Wan Courtyard through the trail.
Therefore, there is really nothing surprising about Li Wan here.
When I got closer, I saw that Li Wan was still holding scissors in her hand, and I knew that she was pruning flowers in her small yard, and she must have just seen the scene just now.
"Sister-in-law is in a good mood. Well, this pot of spring begonias looks really good. It shows that my sister-in-law takes good care of it."
Li Wan was consciously hiding, so she stayed nearby and watched the play for so long. Suddenly she realized that Jia Lian had seen him and was walking towards her. She subconsciously wanted to leave.
But then I thought about it, I was trimming flowers with scissors in my hand, what was I afraid of?
Moreover, Jia Lian was outside the wall and he was inside the courtyard. There was a wall in between, so it didn't matter.
So he calmed himself down and responded to Jia Lian's words.
She felt a little regretful because she had been so reckless today. Normally, she would just sit in the house and look through the window from a distance. But today, after not seeing Jia Lian pass by for a long time, she couldn't help but go out and trim the flowers.
Second uncle, he should not misunderstand...
That slutty wife is so shameless! She didn't believe it when someone told her that she was such a lustful woman. Fortunately, Uncle Lian was not such a casual person.
Thinking of what he had seen before, Li Wan couldn't help but feel angry. He was angry that the toad wanted to eat the swan meat.
But Li Wan was secretly happy when she thought of Jia Lian rejecting the other party's seduction so decisively. God knows how nervous and worried she was when that shameless prostitute jumped on Jia Lian just now.
"What are you thinking, sister-in-law?"
Jia Lian was so generous. Just looking at Li Wan, who was wearing a moon-white dress and looked elegant and elegant, he felt happy.
He also knew that his glorious image of being unmoved by women was seen by Li Wan, so he felt even more refreshed. Just like when you do good deeds and no one knows about it, you always feel that you are hiding behind the scenes, but when you do good deeds, you happen to be seen by others, and that
She also happens to be the school beauty.
This feeling can only be understood by those who have experienced it.
Therefore, Jia Lian stood unceremoniously outside the courtyard wall, talking to Li Wan through the wall and watching Li Wan's reaction.
Seeing her sneaky eyes, he asked directly. He felt that in Li Wan's heart, his image must be tall and majestic.
Li Wan knew that she should take the initiative to avoid him at this time, but seeing Jia Lian's openness, she felt embarrassed to run away.
So he lowered his head, and after a while he quietly replied: "Second uncle is in the house, often, often, often surrounded by girls and daughters-in-law, like that..."
Oh my God, what are you asking?
Jia Lian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "What did sister-in-law say? Oh, it was referring to the incident just now...
It's not that often, but every once in a while, I always encounter some.
If it's a good-looking one, I'll teach you a lesson. If it's an ugly one like the one just now, just like my sister-in-law saw, I'll teach you a lesson and warn you next time.
Sister-in-law, do you think what I did is right?"
Li Wan's face turned red and he couldn't help but turn sideways.
She didn't even know why she was asking that question. If she saw something like that, she shouldn't have seen it.
The same goes for my second uncle. He didn't know that he asked the wrong question, but he still answered seriously.
Moreover, although Jia Lian's tone was gentle and not frivolous, his words always gave her a strange feeling... as if they were teasing?
It’s not like that! As the daughter of Jijiu and the eldest mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, no one has ever dared to tease her, so she can’t make a judgment.
"Then, that woman doesn't look ugly to me..."
This was what Li Wan was thinking, and he murmured it unconsciously. Who would have thought that Jia Lian would hear her even if she whispered so quietly.
"Whether you are ugly or not depends on who you compare with. If you compare with my sister-in-law... Suyun and Biyue beside me, there is a long way to go."
Jia Lian just said casually that Suyun Biyue was not an outstanding beauty, but she was just okay among the maids.
Apart from being young and pure, his appearance is probably similar to that of many other girls.
But if Naduo girl is better than Li Wan, then she is naturally far behind.
Jia Lian actually didn't expect that Li Wan would take the initiative to bring up the subject of many girls, but he happily continued it.
Not to mention anything else, it is a rare sight to see Li Wan, who is usually indifferent and stoic, showing a shy posture.
Jia Lian wanted to see more of this kind of scenery, but he still made a mistake and didn't get the scale right.
After all, Li Wan was born in a noble family, and the two of them had a normal conversation before. Even if some words did not suit each other's identities, she could regard them as saying something wrong temporarily.
But if she couldn't hear the teasing meaning in Jia Lian's words, she felt that Jia Lian would doubt her IQ.
Therefore, as if he had been bitten by a snake, he trembled all over and looked at Jia Lian with a frown and displeasure.
Everyone said that it was cold in early spring, but Jia Lian was only wearing a thin middle coat and a majestic coat...
Jia Lian lowered his head and glanced at himself, then saw that Li Wan looked like he wanted to see but didn't dare to look. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you invite me to come in and sit down? I haven't seen Lan'er for a long time. I miss him so much."
"No, no, Lan'er is reviewing her homework! Second uncle has just practiced boxing, right? It's better to go back and take a bath and rest first..."
tomato
Li Wan said, bowing and not daring to look at Jia Lian, turned around and left.
