Jia Xichun's mother didn't get up early, her father was heartless and left the whole family to refine pills, and her brother, Jia Zhen, was a bastard. He didn't even care about her and left her by the side of Grandmother Jia of Rong Manor.
Now that Jia Lian had caused such a ruckus, even if Jia Zhen did not care about Jia Xichun, she still brought Jia Xichun back.
She didn't want anything from her family to stay in Rong Mansion.
Now, no one knew what kind of life Jia Xichun was living in the Ningguo Manor, but they heard that he was not doing well.
"Alright, Sister Feng, you guys go to the Second household to bring Tanchun over. I'll go to the Ningguo residence to bring Sister Xichun over.
Even though we don't get along with the Second household and the East residence, we can't implicate Younger Sister Tanchun and Younger Sister Xichun in this matter.”
Jia Lian promised Jia Yingchun.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Seeing that Jia Lian agreed to Jia Yingchun, she was very happy, but she was not good at expressing her gratitude.
"Brother is still very magnanimous."
Shi Xiangyun listened to Jia Lian's words and her good impression of Jia Lian increased.
He felt that Jia Lian was very broad-minded.
Wang Xifeng didn't say anything about Jia Lian's decision. In any case, she was happy to have Jia Lian as her backbone.
Whatever decision Jia Lian made, she would support him with both hands.
Regarding Jia Lian's generosity, Wang Xifeng also felt that Jia Lian made her love him more and more.
"Second Master Lian, Old Lady hasn't eaten for two meals in a row. Old Lady wants to eat chicken marrow bamboo shoots and hopes that Second Master can give a sign for this servant to take to the kitchen and have the kitchen prepare it for Old Lady.”
Just as Jia Lian was about to capture her heart, Yuanyang ran over and respectfully requested Jia Lian.
"Chicken marrow bamboo shoots, this old lady really knows how to eat…
When you go back, tell the old lady that there are chicken bones, but she doesn't want chicken marrow bamboo shoots.”
Hearing Yuanyang's words, Jia Lian immediately sneered.
She didn't care about Yuanyang's words about Grandmother Jia not eating for two meals.
Because Jia Lian knew that Grandmother Jia could not bear to die, even to the point of moaning without illness, she still had to take Jia She's invitation to the palace to invite the imperial physician back for her to see.
As for the chicken marrow bamboo shoots, it required hundreds of black chicken thigh bones to be stuffed into the jade finger bamboo shoots and fed with chicken juice to cook.
Just this dish alone cost 50 black-bone chickens.
In the past, when Grandmother Jia ate this dish, she had wasted countless black-bone chickens.
One had to know that the black-bone chicken that Grandmother Jia had left behind after eating this dish would not be eaten by anyone. The rest of the black-bone chicken had to be thrown away.
As for why Grandmother Jia would do this, it was all for the sake of dignity.
Therefore, Jia Lian would not let the kitchen cook some chicken marrow bamboo shoots for Grandmother Jia.
If Grandmother Jia really wanted to eat, she would go to the Second household and the Shi family.
"Second Master Lian, the old lady really hasn't eaten for two meals. Please ask the kitchen to make some chicken marrow bamboo shoots for the old lady.
The old lady loved to eat chicken marrow bamboo shoots.”
"If there are chicken marrow bamboo shoots, the old lady will definitely eat them.”
Seeing that Jia Lian did not agree, Yuanyang immediately became anxious. She rarely lied and could not help but beg Jia Lian.
It seemed that she had secretly come here for the sake of Grandmother Jia's health when she saw that she had not eaten for two meals.
In fact, it was Grandmother Jia who was greedy. Without Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's instructions, the kitchen did not dare to cook for Grandmother Jia.
Therefore, Grandmother Jia thought of this method to let Yuanyang come over and tell Jia Lian that she was on a hunger strike.
Only chicken marrow bamboo shoots are willing to eat.
However, how could the mandarin ducks, who had never lied in their lives, deceive Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng?
Even Lin Daiyu, who had not said anything, felt that something was wrong.
"Second Master has long set a rule for the daily food of the various masters. As an elder, Old Lady should set an example and not break the rules.”
" Besides, the old lady has three dishes and a soup for every meal. We have never mistreated the old lady…We can't do anything if the old lady doesn't want to eat…"
"After all, the residence has just paid off one million taels of silver and donated 350,000 dans of grain. The residence does not have much money left to feed a few hundred mouths.”
Wang Xifeng stretched out her hand to stop Jia Lian as she stared at Yuanyang.
What he meant was that no matter what Yuanyang said, it was impossible for Grandmother Jia to eat chicken marrow bamboo shoots.
In Wang Xifeng's eyes, she could handle matters in the Inner Residence by herself. There was no need for Jia Lian to waste his breath here.
Yuanyang opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
He could only bow to Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun, and Shi Xiangyun before leaving.
…
"This b * stard, the heir of the High Duke's Public House wants to be calculative with this group of people. Without the demeanor of a noble family, how is he any different from a poor family?
Sooner or later, the Rong Mansion would be defeated by this disobedient creature.”
Yuanyang returned to Rong Qing Hall and reported the matter to Grandmother Jia truthfully. Grandmother Jia, who was waiting for the good news, immediately scolded Jia Lian when she heard this.
In the past, if she wanted to eat this chicken marrow bamboo shoot, she would eat it at least five or six times in three days. Moreover, after eating it five or six times, she would get tired of it and change her taste.
Now, not only did he have to beg for food, but he also had to beg for food.
"Yuanyang, go to the East Mansion to find Brother Zhen and borrow 100,000 taels of silver from him.
I'll return it to him in the future!"
Grandmother Jia sat on the soft couch and scolded until her mouth was dry. Then, she ordered Yuanyang.
Since she couldn't get through to Jia Lian, she couldn't let her quality of life fall behind.
If Jia Lian didn't give it to him, he would ask Jia Zhen for money directly.
"Yes, sir!"
Yuanyang timidly replied to Grandmother Jia before leaving with her life…
…
"Brother Lian, look at these flowers. Why don't you write a poem?”
It was at the pavilion in the backyard garden at night…
It was drizzling. Jia Lian brought Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu, and the other girls to play. Looking at the spring scenery in front of him, Lin Daiyu suggested to Jia Lian with a smile and her melodious voice.
"Alright, alright! Brother Lian is such a big official and has even earned sister-in-law Feng an imperial mandate. He must be very knowledgeable.”
Shi Xiangyun applauded and agreed.
On the other hand, Xifeng Wang's expression was a little unnatural. She knew best what her husband was capable of.
It was better to say that Jia Lian had no ink in his stomach than to say that he was full of knowledge.
"Hmm…"
Jia Lian didn't reject Lin Daiyu's suggestion when he saw the women's expectant gazes…
He lifted his foot and pinched his chin as he muttered to himself…
"Good rain knows its season, it will only happen in spring.
The wind entered the night and moistened everything silently.
The clouds on the wild path are all black, and the fire on the river boat is only bright.”
After a while, Jia Lian thought of something. If Jia Lian couldn't do things, he could still be a plagiarist.
This world was a parallel world. The countless poems that had been passed down through the ages in his previous life did not exist in this world.
Thus, after thinking for a while, Jia Lian brought out the poem of the Sage of Poets, Du Fu, about the joyous rain on a spring night.
Hearing Jia Lian's poem, Wang Xifeng, who knew what kind of person Jia Lian was, couldn't help but open her mouth wide as if she didn't know Jia Lian.
