Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 16 16 Zhang in memory
This pre-meal teaching, my uncle explained it to Jia Lian.Zhang Hu really has no secrets.

Then there was the family dinner, and Zhang Hu was reluctant to let Jia She sit down. Not for Jia Lian's sake, Jia She had to squat down to eat today.

However, relying on Jia She's face, the estrangement between him and his wife's family for many years has been improved.

Not long after, the Zhang family's table arrived.

Different from the seven plates and eight large bowls in Rongguo Mansion, the Zhang family only had one uncle and two other guests, Jia She and his son. The three of them had six dishes in total.

Taibai smooth pork, Hanlin cooked chicken, roasted double carp with white cauliflower, Nanxiang tribute radish, spring rolls with soybean oil and Xunshui eel.

Jia Lian can't see the door, but if you have a discerning eye, you can tell at a glance that this is Taibai's family banquet.

It is said that Meng Haoran traveled from Xiangyang, Xiangzhou to Guangling, passed through Anlu, and visited Li Bai, a poetic fairy who lived in Baizhao Mountain in Anlu. Li Bai met him in Lumen Mountain in the southeast of the city in order to thank him for living in Xiangyang for ten days, and became a friend of Wangnian. In order to show my affection, I specially arranged for Mrs. Xu to host a banquet to treat me.

Mrs. Xu carefully prepared and arranged a feast for Meng Haoran.Since then, the Taibai family banquet has been passed down from the smoke of Baizhao Mountain.

The banquet noodles have a great reputation, but they are also serious home-cooked dishes.Even though it reflects the importance attached to Jia Lian, there is no exception.

The Zhang family's eating rules are also different from the Jia family's lively banquets. Here, the Zhang family eats without talking or sleeping.

The meal was eaten quietly and without any excitement, but Jia Lian ate it with relish.

People are in high spirits during happy events, and Jia Lian is happy with everything he sees at this moment; compared to the big fish and meat of the Jia family, the simple meals of the Zhang family are all delicacies on a jade plate.

At the Jia family's banquet, Jia Lian was just like the broker who accompanied the leader at the table in his previous life. But at the Zhang family, his uncle who kept putting food in his bowl made Jia Lian feel that he was a return son of the Zhang family after a long trip.

This made Jia Lian feel more and more comfortable in the Zhang family.

It was already the end of the feast, and there was no hostess in the Zhang family, so it was not easy to entertain the Jia family and his son to stay overnight.

Jia Lian was not the one who had no vision, so he said goodbye to his old father.

When parting, his uncle took Jia Lian's hand and said goodbye reluctantly. It was so difficult to leave him that he sent Jia Lian to the door to stay.

"Come and visit uncle more often. Your cousin will come here in a while, and you two will be very close to each other!"

It was the first time that Jia Lian was missed so much, and he was also moved.

"When my nephew settles down, he will definitely be the first to bother my uncle!"

Jia She also said flatteringly.

"My uncle, please come back. If Lian'er is too busy to come, I will come often!"

Jia She's shameless Zhang family uncle rolled his eyes, snorted coldly, sent Jia Lian to the car and closed the door.

Jia Lian sat in the car with official documents from the Ministry of Personnel, feeling happy.

Starting from tomorrow, I will be an official of Honglu Temple under the Ministry of Rites, a serious official.

Jia She, who was sitting on the other side of the car, felt uncomfortable seeing his son so happy.

Jia She, who had been a popular division chief and a national-level reserve cadre, despised his son's worthless appearance the most.

Old Jia She twitched his beard and opened his mouth.

"Master Xiao Jia, how do you feel about your rapid rise to success?"

Jia Lian knew that Jia She was jealous and hurriedly complimented him.

"Thank you, Mr. Jia, for your support. I will rely on you more in the future!"

There were a few jokes between father and son, and Jia Lian was full of praise for Jia She, which made the old child Jia She feel satisfied.

Seeing that his son was focused on his official position, Jia She gave a few words.

"Son, you understood what your uncle said after you went out!"

Jia Lian fiddled with the official document, but didn't take it seriously and replied.

"That sentence?"

Seeing that his son was not paying attention, Jia She took Jia Lian's official documents with his hand and spoke seriously into Jia Lian's eyes.

"It's just how close you are to your cousin!"

Jia Lian still didn't take it seriously. "Hey, isn't it just to let my son and cousin move around more?"

The angry Jia She gave Jia Lian a slap on the head.

'My silly son, are you not wondering where your aunt, cousin, cousin and others are at your uncle's house today? '

Jia Lian really didn't understand why he was beaten. He had beaten himself several times today. This old Jia She didn't know what it meant to have a tube removed.

However, his father was serious, and Jia Lian corrected his attitude.

"What does father mean?"

Jia Amnesty nodded to Jia Lian.

"I mean, your cousin might also be a foreign official!"

Jia Lian really didn't expect this.

"Ah, what father means is that my uncle arranged for me to go to such a good yamen for his son!"

Seeing that his son was confused, Jia She mocked.

"Otherwise! Could it be that the reason why I licked my face and went to the Zhang family's door to ask for an official for you was to protect your cousin?"

Jia Lian suddenly felt that the family affection had changed, but he immediately woke up again.

It's not a lie that his uncle likes him, and it's not a lie that he arranged for him to go to a good workplace to provide convenience for his son.

It's the best of both worlds, there's no need to make yourself feel like you've been betrayed.

Of course, Jia She's reminder to himself is not to provoke anything, but to wake him up. People's help is not in vain.

Want to understand this, Jia Lian no longer entangled.

asked suspiciously.

"Isn't the Zhang family the leader of Qingliu? Why does my uncle's style of doing things not look like Qingliu at all?"

Jia Lian didn't know what to say, so Jia She took over.

"It seems very philistine, doesn't it?"

Seeing Jia Lian nodding, Jia She said.

"Hmph, if your uncle hadn't been a philistine, he wouldn't have been the first person in the Zhang family to revolt; he used to be a dandy raised by the Zhang family."

Jia She said that he was very unconvinced.

"Huh! Now that I'm so successful, I can't look down on me, the playboy I was with him back then!"

This son's closeness to the Zhang family made the old widower Jia She feel happy and worried at the same time.

"Don't miss your uncle too much. This is all your mother's legacy. Without your father being so kind to your mother, and our deep relationship as a virtuous couple, how could you have the good fortune you have today?" !”

Jia She was really afraid that his precious son was coaxed back by his brother Jia Zheng, and then coaxed back by the Zhang family.

The old man turned on the nagging mode, remembering his late wife with deep affection; it seemed that there was never a bad time in the life between the two, as if Lao Jiashe would chase his wife the next second.

The Zhang family in Jia She's mouth was a young lady from a noble family. She was a good match for any man who fell into his hands.

It made Jia Lian feel that if he had a choice, he would choose a girl like Jia She's mother.

But Jia Lian thought about today's experience and the Zhang family's rules, and became silent about Jia She's words.

If you think about it carefully, how could a girl from such a family be rebellious and follow Jia She? After following Jia She, her speech, behavior, cultural accomplishment, and eating habits are incompatible with the Jia family.

Then how much did she have to accommodate the Jia family, and how many grievances she suffered, to live her life!

Is such a marriage really happy?

Jia Lian has no more expectations for marriage.
