Chapter 343 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 14
The next day, it was the day for Jia Lian to marry Wang Xifeng. As Jia Lian's brother, Jia Lang naturally had to change into festive clothes to accompany Jia Lian. Jia Lan and Jia Xichun of Ningguo Mansion acted as Jia Lian's bed boys and rolled the wedding bed properly. Jia Baoyu followed Jia Lang all the time and refused to leave.
Soon the bride's sedan chair arrived. The servants of the Jia family were joyfully distributing wedding money and saying flattering words. The entire Jia family mansion was filled with the sound of firecrackers because of Jia Lian's wedding, and guests were coming and going in an endless stream.
It was on such occasions that Jia Lang got to know all the people in Ningguo Mansion and his relatives in the Wang and Shi families. At the same time, Jia Lang's excellence also made Grandmother Jia very proud, making her even more proud and satisfied with Jia Lang.
God has no intention of destroying the Jia family; He has bestowed upon our family a son of the unicorn.
Lang: It means a beautiful stone like jade or a green coral, and also describes a clear and loud sound. "Chu Ci·Nine Songs·Donghuang Taiyi" records: "I stroked the long sword and the jade earrings, and the sound of the jade was like a jade." The name implies high quality and gorgeous like jade. White and gorgeous like jade. In the name, it often means precious and warm like jade.
At this moment, Grandmother Jia only felt that the name she gave to Jia Lang was really correct, and Jia Lang really fits the meaning of the word Lang.
The Second Wife only found this ironic. Her son was Baoyu, while Jia Lang was just a stone that looked like jade. Between the precious jade and the beautiful stone, the precious jade was naturally more valuable.
Soon the newlyweds were sent to the bridal chamber, and the guests drank and chatted happily. It was lively all the way until the end, and everyone in the Jia family was exhausted, and the servants also looked tired.
The Second Madam was really busy today. After all, she was the housekeeper of the Jia family. Her nephew was marrying her niece from her mother's family, so she naturally dared not be negligent. After finally seeing off all the guests, the Second Madam went back home exhausted and lay down.
Jia Lang first returned to his room and pretended to be tired and asleep, then changed into the clothes of a servant in the Jia family, painted his face and exposed skin black, and took advantage of the dead of night to find the second wife's residence.
After taking those pills that were beneficial to the soul in the last life, Jia Lang's abilities have finally been unlocked a lot. He squatted in the bushes beside the outer wall of the Second Wife's courtyard. He first opened up his mental power and carefully explored the Second Wife's courtyard, not missing any corner.
Soon, Jia Lang discovered that there were many good things in the Second Wife's storehouse. In addition to the storehouse, Jia Lang also found a hidden compartment in the small Buddhist temple in the Second Wife's bedroom. Under the cover of darkness, Jia Lang quickly climbed over the wall and entered the Second Wife's yard.
Following the route perceived by his spiritual power, Jia Lang first came to the back of the second wife's warehouse. Since the portable space obtained in the previous world had a distance limit, Jia Lang had to use this method to put the things in the warehouse into the space.
After packing, Jia Lang did not leave in a hurry. He opened his personal space and sorted out the items he had packed. He put the items with obvious imperially made marks and Rongguo Mansion marks in the Second Wife's warehouse back into the warehouse, and also put the boxes of things back.
I hope this will delay the Second Wife's discovery of the problem. After all, it's not a good idea for Jia Lian to have such a thing happen right after he got married, right? Jia Lang thought irresponsibly.
There was still a Buddhist temple left. Considering that the temple was inside the second wife's bedroom, he might be discovered if he entered through the main door. If he did not go in, the distance was too far and exceeded the space limit. Jia Lang could only turn around and come to the window behind the temple. He first pried open the wooden bolt of the window with a blade, and then climbed in quietly.
After entering the Buddhist hall, Jia Lang did not waste any time and walked straight towards the hidden compartment in his perception. There was no need to open the secret compartment. As long as he got close to it, Jia Lang could directly put everything inside the door into the space.
It’s still the same operation. First, sort out the things you just packed in, find out the things with special marks that cannot be converted into cash, the worthless things, and the special items, and then see whether to put them back, destroy them, or keep them.
The boxes in the secret compartment were mostly filled with banknotes, documents, letters, contracts and other items. Jia Lang looked through them casually and found that in addition to land deeds, house deeds, and servants' indentures, there were more deeds for money imposing seals.
Sure enough, in Dream of the Red Chamber, Wang Xifeng was not the only one in the Jia family who lent money at high interest. The second wife did it earlier than her!
Although Jia Lang wanted to burn the deeds, he decided not to do so because he thought that burning them would eliminate the evidence of the Second Wife's crime. Considering that many of the bad things the Second Wife had done were done in the name of Jia She, Jia Lang deliberately took away all the seals and other items from the Second Wife that represented Jia She's identity as a first-class general.
It is still impossible to return it to Jia She. After returning it, who knows when these things will be got by the second wife again. Anyway, Jia She is his biological father. Instead of giving his seal to the second wife, it is better for him to use it himself.
After tidying up for most of the night, Jia Lang finally took away all the things he could use from the Second Wife's place. He left the small Buddhist temple with a satisfied mood, and even remembered to close the window again when he left.
It was still dark, and there were not many servants walking around the Jia Mansion at this moment. Except for a few servants who were responsible for night watch and gatekeeping, almost everyone was still asleep.
Jia Lang did not meet any other servants on his way back. He could not help but be grateful that Jia Lian used to live in the second house and the courtyard was not far away. Otherwise, according to the actual size of the Jia Mansion, he did not know how long it would take him to get back to his residence on his own two feet.
After not sleeping for a whole night, Jia Lang looked a little sleepy. Fortunately, everyone had been busy for a long time yesterday and didn't seem very energetic this morning. Jia Lang didn't seem out of place among them.
Soon, Jia Lian brought Wang Xifeng to pay their respects. Wang Xifeng had already prepared a gift for Jia Baoyu and his family before the wedding. She didn't expect Jia Lang to be there, so Wang Xifeng had one less gift.
In order to test Jia Lang's position in Jia Lian's heart, Wang Xifeng deliberately told Jia Lian about this matter in a joking tone.
"Second Master, I just learned yesterday that Brother Lang has returned to the capital. I am here to pay my respects to you today. I wonder if it would be disrespectful for Brother Lang to give the same gift as Brother Zong?"
"Langdi's biological mother is a concubine, and her status is higher than that of Zongdi. Zongdi is young, so you can just give him some children's toys. Langdi is different. Although he is young, he has already been enlightened, so you can prepare some pens, ink, paper and inkstone."
Although Jia Lian is not good at studying, he is good at interpersonal relationships. He has already seen the value of Jia Lang, and also clearly sees how Jia She and Jia Mu value Jia Lang. Naturally, he will not treat Jia Lang the same as Jia Zong.
As soon as Wang Xifeng heard what Jia Lian said, she understood that Jia Lang, the illegitimate son of the Jia family who had been sent to Jinling early on, was definitely not as unvalued by the Jia family as she thought. If that was the case, then she, her brother and sister-in-law, naturally could not look down on him.
