Not far behind Rongqing Hall, in a small building beside the corridor.

This is the small courtyard where Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian live.

"Oh, the second master is back!"

Under the verandah in front of Baoxia, Ping'er, wearing a green satin vest and a thin white silk pleated skirt, saw Jia Lian returning and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Jia Lian was originally in Suzhou to "help" Lin Daiyu with her affairs, but the previous head of the Jia clan passed away. As a descendant of the Jia family, he should naturally stay here first, so after receiving the news, Jia Lian hurried back.

As for Lin Daiyu, she will stay in Suzhou for the time being and not take care of it.

"Ping'er, I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm getting more and more confused!"

After saying this, Jia Lian stretched out his hand to lift Ping'er's chin.

Ping'er dodged away with a smile and said: "Second Master, you have just come back, so you should go inside and rest first!"

Jia Lian didn't take it seriously. Ping'er was his future aunt. This was known to everyone in the house, but Wang Xifeng was very jealous and kept suppressing it. Even if it was a bit ambiguous, it was still a matter of love.

Jia Lian, who was already a veteran, immediately put his arms around Ping'er's slender waist and said sweetly: "My heart and soul, my baby, I will have no shortage of you when I see you."

Jia Lian has been coveting Ping'er for a long time, so he started to move as he spoke. Although Ping'er knew that sooner or later he was Jia Lian's man, but without Wang Xifeng's permission, he naturally did not dare to do anything wrong, so he broke away and walked directly into the house.

go.

Jia Lian sneered and shouted to Ping'er who was leaving: "Come back, you naughty little woman, I'll let you run away."

Ping'er walked into the house and spat: "If I don't run away, grandma will see her and she won't want to see me."

But Jia Lian didn't take it seriously. According to the past, Wang Xifeng should greet the old lady at this time. This is why Jia Lian started to do something as soon as he came back.

After being away for several months, I have already become impatient, so I will take advantage of this time to get enough.

Jia Lian walked into the house and saw Ping'er building potted plants. Hearing Ping'er's words, he immediately became unhappy and snorted: "You don't have to be afraid of her. When I get angry, I will smash this jealous jar to pieces."

Jia Lian was getting excited when suddenly Wang Xifeng walked in from outside the courtyard and said in a demonic tone: "Oh, the second master is back."

Wang Xifeng glanced at Ping'er and said in a cold voice: "You are also a bitch. The second master has just come back and you don't know how to serve him."

Judging from this tone, it seems that Wang Xifeng heard a lot of what he said earlier.

Jia Lian snorted coldly and said: "Ask her, I have been hurrying along the way, but it's not going well when I get back to my house."

Seeing that Jia Lian seemed a little moody, Wang Xifeng stopped trying and said to Jia Lian, "Second Master, you have worked hard all the way!"

With that said, Wang Xifeng stepped forward and took off the cloak that Jia Lian was wearing. It was really outrageous that he had already entered the house and was still wearing a cloak.

Jia Lian enjoyed Wang Xifeng's service, and his heart softened. He said in a gentle tone: "I'm not at home, thank you for your hard work."

In the feudal dynasty, when the husband was away, the wife had to take care of all the big and small things in the house. There was no one to support her, so it was naturally harder. This is common sense.

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she was also relieved and spat: "Hey, stop talking. I have little knowledge, a stupid tongue, and a straight heart. If someone gives me a mallet, I will use it as a needle. My face is too soft, and I can't stand up to them."

Say a kind word and your heart will be filled with compassion."

Ping'er on the side snickered when she saw this. She didn't know what Wang Xifeng's temper was. He couldn't be as docile as Wang Xifeng said, but this was also Wang Xifeng's cleverness.

Sure enough, Jia Lian was now taking advantage of him, and all his previous dissatisfaction was gone.

Ping'er was not idle either, and came over with a basin in his hands. Wang Xifeng reached out and fished out the sweat towel from the basin, twisted it twice, and then handed it to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian took the sweat towel and wiped his dusty face, feeling refreshed immediately.

"Brother Zhen, what's going on? He was fine when he went there, how could something happen?"

At this time, Jia Lian asked about Jia Zhen. After all, this was the reason why Jia Lian came back in a hurry.

Wang Xifeng had nothing to hide from her husband, so she whispered the reasons one by one to Jia Lian.

After hearing this, Jia Lian was shocked and said: "This kid's luck is really amazing. He actually got an advantage and was made an earl."

When he was in Yangzhou, Jia Lian had a very bad impression of Jia Yun. If it hadn't been for him, how could Jia Lian have become nothing but a decoration, with no profit at all.

Wang Xifeng also lamented Jia Yun's luck when he heard this, and said: "Don't mention it, Brother Yun's luck is really high. Not only did he inherit the earl, he also received the honor of the emperor. I heard that the emperor also gave Brother Yun a gift.

The word "Critical Minister" means "Critical Minister". After hearing this, the old lady was so happy that she rewarded the government with double the monthly salary!"

"Hmph..." Jia Lian snorted coldly and scolded: "Don't mention that little brat in front of me from now on, it will make you angry."

Listening to Jia Lian's dissatisfied words, Wang Xifeng suddenly felt uneasy. Like Jia Lian, he seemed to dislike Jia Yun very much.

Jia Yun is not easy to get along with. He even dares to say "no" in front of old lady Jia's mother, which makes the whole family unable to come to Taiwan. Will he be afraid of Jia Lian?

If he were an ordinary nephew, Wang Xifeng would naturally not care, but Jia Yun was blessed with great fortune. Not only did he inherit the title of Dongfu, he was also an earl, and he was even more favored by the emperor. This fate ensured that he could be easily accepted by others.

Not to be bullied.

If there was a quarrel with Jia Lian, I'm afraid it would be Jia Lian who would be shameless.

But Jia Lian was so angry that he said with displeasure, "What do you think this rebel is doing? It's bad luck."

Wang Xifeng heard the words and said nervously: "Hey! What's going on? You still don't understand me. If he hadn't won the emperor's favor, now even the old lady would give him three points. It's okay for me to say this. Do you think

Who am I for?"

Jia Lian was not an ignorant person. His face looked better, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "The Holy One is also confused. Why are you praising such a little beast?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Everyone has his own destiny!"

Seeing that Jia Lian was talking about the emperor's fault, Wang Xifeng changed the subject and said: "Now the house is busy with brother Zhen's affairs. When the white things are finished, I guess the old lady will send you to Suzhou to take care of sister Lin. The Lin family has no heirs.

There is only Sister Lin here, and as the eldest brother now, you have to shoulder the responsibilities of the eldest brother and father."

It was okay not to mention these things, but Jia Lian felt unhappy when he mentioned it, and said impatiently: "Come on, Sister Lin is fine! She doesn't need to be taken care of by an "outsider" like me."

Wang Xifeng heard this and laughed angrily: "Are you so stupid? Is this what I'm talking about?"

After saying this, Wang Xifeng winked at Jia Lian and continued: "Don't forget the Lin family's business.

Sister Lin will probably be with Baoyu in the future. According to the old lady's preference for him, and with Sister Lin together, most of the family property will probably be divided between them. Besides, Sister Lin also has the money left by her aunt.

That dowry, that dowry, even opened the eyes of the wife, saying that my aunt is the real noble lady of the government. There is so much, but it is not enough for a pair of children. What do we have? Is it possible that in the future you will also have a dowry?

Do you want to live your whole life in a side house in the East Road Courtyard, just like the great master, holding a title for nothing?"

Jia Lian: "..."

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng continued: "The Gusu Lin family is just a distant branch that cannot be reached with eight poles. Just leave them three melons and two dates and let them fight among themselves. How much more can be given to them?"

Listening to Wang Xifeng's talk, Jia Lian felt more and more uncomfortable. He didn't know this. He originally accompanied Lin Daiyu to Yangzhou with this idea, but now the situation has changed. Let alone making some money, even if he takes a step closer, he will be betrayed.

Said to be an "outsider".

"It's too late. Before Uncle Lin left, he made the decision to betroth Sister Lin to that brat Jia Yun. That "family property" has already been taken care of."

Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were both shocked when they heard this. Wang Xifeng even said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Don't make excuses."

Jia Lian sneered and said sourly: "I hope it's a joke."

Seeing what Jia Lian said so solemnly, Wang Xifeng also understood that the matter was true and could not recover for a long time.
