As one of the two most extraordinary women in the Red Mansion, Baochai is as famous as Daiyu, and is truly one of a kind in the world.
As a visitor from later generations, Jia Lian already deeply admired his name in another time and space.
When I came to this world and got a glimpse of her beauty, I was first moved by her appearance, and then I got a glimpse of her character. I just felt that her character was like the white snow on the mountain, and her character was like the moonlight on the empty mountain at night.
Sigh: There is nothing more elegant than this among women in the world.
If such a person can be obtained by legitimate means, why would he bear to give it to others?
Therefore, Jia Lian did not hesitate to treat Daiyu with dignity and spared no effort to win her heart.
Judging from the current results, he may have succeeded more than half of the time. As long as he works harder, he may not be able to achieve what he wants.
Perhaps, we can try harder on Aunt Xue next. There is no better daughter than a mother, let alone a good and filial child like Baochai.
After coming out of Xue's house, I still entered the Grand View Garden through the back door, followed the path around Dazhu Mountain, and when I passed Daoxiang Village, I suddenly heard the sound of Lang Lang reading.
Looking up, I saw Daoxiang Village in the night, with lanterns hanging slightly in several tile houses, illuminating the dim fields and graceful fences. It really looked like a corner of an exquisite countryside.
Jia Lian stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, then led the accompanying girl Xiang Ling and turned towards Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Just when Jia Lian turned around and left, Li Wan, who was sitting by the window in Daoxiang Village, seemed to feel something. He looked up at the dark night sky outside with a gloomy expression.
Then she turned her head and glanced at the shadow of her son holding up a book and reading through the paper on the west window, and her heart calmed down again.
…
Rongguo Mansion suddenly became restless after nightfall.
This restlessness lasted for a long time, disturbing everyone in the Rongguo Mansion. Even Jia Lian, who was hiding in the Grand View Garden and enjoying the peace, was not spared.
Xiaohong held up her skirt and climbed up the white stone steps in front of the Cuicui Temple step by step. When she came to the mountain gate, she squinted her eyes and looked in through the crack in the door. She couldn't see anything clearly in the pitch black.
.
So she took a step back and knocked gently on the wooden door.
After a while, the old woman who was guarding the door opened the mountain door and looked at the girl outside the door in surprise. As a servant who had served Miaoyu when she grew up, although she had lived with Miaoyu for more than a year, she did not often move around the house.
I don’t know Xiaohong.
"My name is Xiaohong, and I am the waiter in the second master's and second grandma's room. Please tell me, the second master is here. I am following the instructions of our second grandma to ask the second master to go back and deal with important matters."
"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Xiaohong. Second Master Lian is studying Buddhism with the abbot in the nunnery. Please wait a moment and let me go and report."
Xiaohong hesitated for a moment, then nodded, watching the servant woman close the mountain door again, and then the footsteps disappeared.
Xiaohong couldn't help but feel a little unmotivated, thinking that if it were Sister Ping'er who came here, this person would not dare to lock her out of the mountain gate.
Then I thought, this person may not look down on her, maybe there are other reasons.
I thought that someone in the house had once said that Master Miaoyu on Mount Liancui was not only beautiful and fairy-like, but also had profound Buddhist teachings and a far-reaching reputation. He might be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. Otherwise, how could someone like Mr. Lian be brought to life?
Are you willing to call yourself a disciple?
As for the others, they, the maids who serve in the room, naturally understand that their master, grandma and master, are actually people who do not believe in Buddhism.
Why does Second Master Lian admire this wonderful jade? Could it be...
Xiaohong's face turned serious as she thought about it, and she didn't dare to think any more. At this moment, the mountain door creaked open, which startled her, and she quickly looked inside.
I saw that the original woman had already changed her smile to a warm one, "Miss Xiaohong, please come with me."
Xiaohong nodded and followed the old woman into the nunnery, but she became nervous in her heart, thinking that if she saw something she shouldn't see, should she pretend to be stupid or not?
However, things were not as complicated as the little girl expected. The old woman in the nunnery took her straight from the courtyard and walked a few steps to a place full of flowers.
Through the lattice wall covered with wall creepers, you can see candlelight filling the air under the rose trellis on the other side.
Handsome men and beauties are sitting at the stone table, making tea and admiring the moon. There are waiters beside them shaking fans to drive away mosquitoes.
Xiao Hong quickly straightened her expression and stepped forward to greet her.
"What happened?"
"Back to the Second Master, Mother Zhao's two sons were beaten. Now, Mother Zhao has found the Second Grandma to cry and complain. The Second Grandma can't handle it, please ask the Second Master to go back..."
Xiaohong was a little bit tight-lipped, and it was obvious that she had some things that she couldn't say in front of outsiders.
But Jia Lian had already remembered that Zhaoer complained to him at noon, and he tacitly allowed Zhaoer to take revenge on the Zhao brothers.
When her son was beaten, it was common sense for Mother Zhao, as a mother, to ask Sister Feng to make the decision. But because the beater was Zhao'er, and there might be other personal guards under him, it was difficult for her to deal with it, so she asked him to go back.
That makes sense.
He just said that Sister Feng never bothered to be a looker. Even before he traveled through time, no matter how late Jia Lian came home from wandering outside, she never asked Ba'er to find or invite him.
Sister Feng wants to have face, so she won't do such a humble and embarrassing thing.
Therefore, whenever she sends someone to find her, it must be for serious business. Jia Lian has always been quite satisfied with Sister Feng.
Although he didn't take the Zhao brothers' matter to heart, Jia Lian still had to give Sister Feng some face and go back as soon as possible.
So he drank the tea that Miaoyu handed over and said with a smile: "It's already late, so I won't bother Fairy Miaoyu anymore. I'll visit you another day."
"please."
Miaoyu's expression did not change, she also stood up gracefully, clasping her hands together in a graceful bow.
With her cold face, stunning appearance, and spotless clothes, she is indeed no different from a Taoist fairy.
Jia Lian couldn't help but take another look, then called the two maids and went down the mountain.
Originally, Jia Lian only thought that Zhaoer and others were just teaching the Zhao brothers a lesson and didn't take it too seriously. However, when he returned home, he realized that things were not that simple.
When Jia Lian stepped into the courtyard gate, the first thing he saw was a pair of men sitting on the ground, their bodies wrapped in gauze, like mummies.
The corridors on three sides in front of the main room and the east and west wings were filled with maids and servants watching the excitement. They were smiling and chattering, which was very different from the endless scene below.
His arrival made them quiet down a bit, but it also made the two "mummies" excited. The two climbed on each other and rolled towards Jia Lian, shouting to the sky.
Jia Lian was shocked and couldn't help but slow down and asked: "These, two nanny brothers? What are you...?"
"Brother Lian, you have to make the decision for us. We two brothers are so miserable. Our lives are ruined."
"Well……"
"Damn it, Zhao'er, Feng Fei, and... and... Anyway, they are all your personal guards, and we didn't provoke them. This afternoon, Zhao'er took them with him.
We two brothers were stuck in an alley, and we were beaten up without any hesitation."
"That's right, look at how we were beaten. Oh, it hurts me so much..."
Two brothers, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong, rushed to file a complaint and wanted to prove it with broken arms and legs. But as soon as they moved, they broke out in cold sweats and couldn't speak clearly.
Before they could explain clearly, another woman rushed out of the main room.
"Brother Lian...you are back...you must make the decision for your two brothers..."
But it was Mother Zhao.
Mother Zhao also cried loudly and was no longer as well-mannered as usual. She grabbed Jia Lian as soon as she came up and wiped her eyes with tears. What she said was roughly the same as what the two Zhao brothers said.
Jia Lian took a closer look at the injuries of the two Zhao brothers and made sure they were not faking. Then he took a long breath and said to Zhao's mother: "Mom, please don't worry. I will definitely check this matter clearly. If it is really Zhao's mother,
I will not forgive them lightly for their mistakes."
After finally comforting Mother Zhao, Jia Lian walked towards Sister Feng who also walked to the corridor and looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile. It was clear that she was not too worried about the fuss.
"Originally I didn't want to bother you about family matters, but in today's matter, it was your people who beat people, and the two nanny brothers who were beaten were the two nanny brothers. I can't make the decision, so I can only invite you back."
Jia Lian nodded, walked sideways into the room, and immediately saw Zhao'er kneeling in the outer hall.
Hearing the noise, Zhao'er, who was kneeling with his head bowed, raised his head, and several thick red scratches were clearly displayed on his face.
"What is this?" Jia Lian asked curiously.
Zhaoer glanced at Jia Lian's side, stared at his mother Zhao fiercely, lowered his head and said nothing.
Sister Feng smiled and said: "This is what Mother Zhao rewarded him with. Haha, I didn't expect that Mother Zhao, who usually looks gentle and gentle, is so capable. If we hadn't pulled her along just now, I'm afraid you, a confidant, would have been killed.
Mother Zhao tore it apart."
Jia Lian understood and went straight into the house without saying anything.
Sitting down on the kang in the west room, Jia Lian said in a deep voice before Mother Zhao could speak: "Don't worry, Mother Zhao, I will investigate this matter clearly, and I will never let the two nanny brothers be wronged.
Someone come."
Several servant girls came in, and Jia Lian ordered: "You go to the second door and have someone call Feng Fei and other people who interfered with the matter in, and tell them that I have something to interrogate them."
Hearing what Jia Lian said, Zhao's mother calmed down a little. Sister Feng took advantage of the situation to support her and said: "Mom has been crying for so long. She must be hungry, right? I asked someone to prepare tea and snacks. Mom will go down to rest and refresh herself."
, it’s not too late to explain everything in front of the Second Master after those people come in.”
Sister Feng knew that Jia Lian must be extremely annoyed, so she took Mother Zhao away with half-coaxing and half-coaxing.
After a while, Sister Feng came back and saw Jia Lian's admiring eyes on her. She sat down next to Jia Lian with a smile and said with a smile: "You always say that I am incompetent and can't control the people outside and don't let me get involved.
Things outside. Now that your men have beaten your nanny, what do you say?"
How could Jia Lian not know what Sister Feng meant? Sure enough, this lady was still very upset about her prohibiting her from interfering in foreign affairs, and would use it to argue with her whenever she had the slightest chance.
In fact, Jia Lian didn't really confine her in the house, but she was fearless at the time. It would be an exaggeration to say that she was arrogant. If she was not disciplined, she would definitely get into trouble.
Nowadays, Sister Feng has suffered a lot of losses and been trained by him for a few years. She has changed a lot.
Moreover, perhaps because of her growing power, this lady no longer clings to her old ways and begins to try to learn. Although this did not happen overnight, at least she has learned to be humble and is no longer as ignorant and arrogant as she once was.
Therefore, at this time, Sister Feng and Jia Lian did not prevent her from getting involved in any foreign affairs. Otherwise, he would not have explained to her the changes in the palace situation earlier.
But no matter what, this woman's attempt to challenge his authority cannot be tolerated.
So Jia Lian glanced at her sideways and said coldly: "Oh? If I say that this matter is my intention, what will you say?"
"Ah, how is this possible..."
As expected, Sister Feng opened her mouth wide in shock, her face full of disbelief.
After looking at the few confidant maids in the room besides him and his wife, Sister Feng came closer and said, "Did you really let them do it? You really did it. The Zhao brothers are not doing badly. I heard from Mother Zhao.
Said that the two brothers were not only beaten with bruises all over their bodies, but also had one of their hands and feet broken.
Mother Zhao also said that she asked the doctor and found that it was not a simple fracture, but a real cripple. Without a miracle, she might not be able to heal in her lifetime..."
As she said this, Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian with eyes full of awe.
I originally thought that it was the Zhao brothers who offended Zhaoer and the others, so they were taught a lesson. Sister Feng also knew a thing or two about the nature of the two brothers. If Zhaoer collaborated with those murderers, it would be very difficult to hurt people in anger.
possible.
But if this is Jia Lian's intention, then... no matter what the Zhao brothers say, they are still Jia Lian's nanny brothers, and they will be abolished as soon as he says they will be abolished?
Jia Lian looked at each other calmly, but frowned inwardly.
Theoretically, he only hinted at Zhao'er that he could cripple one of the Zhao brothers' hands, which meant that at most they could only cripple one hand. But it seemed that Zhao'er and the others had done much more than that.
It is reasonable to say that Zhao'er is impulsive on his own, but it is unlikely that his subordinates will accompany Zhao'er to act impulsively.
Moreover, they have not notified themselves in advance!
Thinking of this, Jia Lian stopped being careless. As the lord, Jia Lian was confident that he had enough control over the group of people closest to and most trusted by his subordinates.
He did not doubt the loyalty of Zhao'er and others, and even somewhat guessed their motives for doing so.
That's why he took over the cause and effect in front of Sister Feng when he didn't understand the whole picture.
