Jia Lian went around the pink oil big shadow wall and went west through the west corner gate from the side road. He was planning to go out of the private alley of the two houses through the east courtyard from here.

He had just walked up the veranda when a handsome woman in her twenties walked up to him. She was wearing a yellow satin jacket with fallen leaves, a green-white collared middle coat, and a pine horse-faced skirt. When he walked closer, he saw that her face was like a peach and her posture was slender.

Compared to Sister Feng's youthful and decisive look, her eyes were full of excitement, unlike Li Wan, who was as cold as a log.

Jia Lian couldn't help but take a few more glances at her, causing her face to turn red. She used a handkerchief to pretend to wipe the non-existent sweat stains on her fair neck, and smiled shyly,"Brother Lian, do I have flowers on me? I'm so embarrassed!"

Jia Lian blurted out,"It's only Eldest Sister-in-law's fault for being more delicate than a flower. She was absent-minded for a moment. She was really rash!"”His words were unlike his usual style.

Madam You's face was flushed red." You're just trying to fool people with nice words. How can I be more delicate than your little wife?" she spat.”Today, for some reason, Madam You had the guts to tease Jia Lian.

Jia Lian quickly calmed his mind and changed the topic,"Is Eldest Sister-in-law here to pay her respects to Old Lady?”As he spoke, he moved aside to make way.

Madam You smiled faintly." That's right!" He walked forward and brushed past Jia Lian.

Jia Lian walked a few steps and suddenly turned around to stop Madam You." Eldest Sister-in-law, please stay!"”

Madam You froze for a long time when she heard that. Then, she turned around and smiled."Brother Lian called me?"

"Big sister-in-law, this little brother has a favor to ask of you!" Jia Lian cupped his hands and smiled.”

"What is it?" Mrs. You also smiled and replied," Do we need to invite a family?”

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment." I'm just a little embarrassed to say it!”

Mrs. You quietly took a few steps back and looked at him in confusion." Brother Lian, is there anything inconvenient to say? I still have to go see the old lady!”

Jia Lian quickly waved his hand." There's nothing inconvenient." I just want to ask if there is a quiet and idle house near the back street in the East Mansion.”

Madam You thought of some of the rumors about him. They were as absurd as her husband's.

The emphasis was on the word secluded.

Mrs. You pondered for a moment." There's a house in Flower Branch Alley, two miles away from Rongning Street, which is still empty. Your brother often says that he wants to rent it out, but he hasn't found another house yet.”

"Good sister-in-law, tell Big Brother Zhen to rent that courtyard to me!" Jia Lian hurriedly said. There will definitely be a lot of silver!"

Madam You saw his anxious look and smiled.""Brother Lian, you just got married, why are you so busy renting a house? Don't have any bad thoughts, or I'll tell Little Feng right now!”

"Sister-in-law doesn't know," Jia Lian said,"but I told the old lady that I wanted to repent. I also received the Four Books and Five Classics from Second Uncle, so I decided to study hard for a year." The reason why he was looking for a house outside was that he was not afraid of Eldest Sister-in-law laughing at him. His wife was in the house, and she would be with him all day long. How could he read the second half of a word?”

After all, Mrs. You was someone who had experienced it before. She knew that it was easy for him to change his mind at his age." It's hard for you to have such determination! Much better than your brother! There's only one point. It's far away from there and no one is controlling it. If you don't learn well and use the excuse of gathering bandits or even looking for women, then it's my fault.”

Jia Lian smiled and said,"Eldest Sister-in-law, you can rest assured. Jia Lian will definitely study behind closed doors this time and will not be tainted by the mortal world!"”

Hearing his words, Mrs. You was upset and replied casually,"If that's the case, I'll order the key to be sent to you.”

Jia Lian gave her a long bow." If I hadn't met Eldest Sister-in-law today, I wouldn't know what to do! Thank you, thank you!"

Madam You quickly avoided it." What's worth it? I only hope that you will be nominated for the Golden Roll next year so that you can bring glory to our family!”

Jia Lian took out a 100-tael ticket from his pocket." Sister-in-law, this is three months 'rent. You can take it first."”

How could Madam You accept it? "We're all family," she hurriedly postponed,"giving these to us is treating us as outsiders!" If your Big Brother Zhen finds out, he will say that I'm from a small family and have no knowledge, making me suffer for no reason.”

Jia Lian had naturally heard of the rumors in the East Mansion. Madam You had married Jia Zhen for less than three to five years and had been very loving back then. Unfortunately, Jia Zhen had always been unreasonable and liked the new and hated the old. After a while, she had thrown it to the back of her mind. On the surface, she treated her as a Bodhisattva, but in fact, she had long forgotten about it and only cared about her own pleasure.

You shi's maiden family was not prominent, so she could not stand up straight. She could only let Jia Zhen rub her, saying that she was a gourd with a saw-off mouth.

It was bright and beautiful outside, but in fact, it was difficult to say. Who knew what was on her mind?

She was also a pitiful person!

Jia Lian stepped forward and placed the ticket in her palm." Eldest Sister-in-law, just tell Big Brother Zhen that he wants me to use it. There's no silver at all."”

Madam You still did not agree.

Jia Lian smiled and said,"Keep it, listen to me!"”

Madam You was in a daze. What did she mean by obedient?

By the time she reacted, Jia Lian had already walked far away.

Madam You held the ticket and could not calm down for a long time. She only told a few jokes in front of the old lady before rushing back.

As usual, Jia Zhen was not in the Ning residence.

You shi then took the initiative to let the servant give the key to Jia Lian.

There were more than 20 rooms in this courtyard. Jia Lian tidied up the courtyard in the middle. He spent 100 taels of silver to buy five honest and skilled craftsmen to act as craftsmen. They moved bricks and stones one after another to build the glass furnace.

However, if one did not have experience and skills, this thing could not be easily fiddled with!

Fortunately, there were two craftsmen who had burned the kiln before. According to Jia Lian's drawings, they knocked and knocked on the kiln.

Among them, there was no lack of Jia Lian personally taking action, or even starting from scratch.

The days passed like this. Every day, Jia Lian left early and returned late. The others did not mind and just thought that he went to drink and watch the show again.

However, ever since Jia Lian went out that day, Feng Jie had borrowed a courtyard from her sister-in-law after taking a few steps. Ping Er had also seen Jia Lian and her sister-in-law pulling and tugging from afar. She had been furious and had returned home to speak coldly to Jia Lian.

At this moment, Jia Lian's mind was filled with glass furnaces and glass fragments, so he had no time to chat with her.

When the good news finally came from Flower Branch Alley, a month had already passed.
