After learning that Tanchun was about to get married, Jia Baoyu and Baochai came to Tanchun's residence together.
Jia Baoyu entered Tanchun's yard and shouted: "Third sister, why are you so ignorant? Why do you want to ask for a marriage? You and I will go to see the old lady, and I will ask the old lady to help you put down the marriage."
"
When Tanchun heard this, he couldn't express his feelings. Anyone with a discerning eye knew how could Tanchun, a girl who had not left the court, write a letter on her own and ask for a marriage without the order of her parents. This time, the marriage was between Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Wang
How could she disobey the Madam's joint instructions?
If Baoyu really wanted to do good for these sisters, she should work hard to support the Jia family. If there was a man in the family who could afford the family business, there would be no need for her to get married.
"Second brother, the emperor has already issued an edict, and the old lady can't change it, so you don't need to trouble the old lady anymore. Be careful, the master knows about it, and he will punish you again."
After hearing this, Baoyu immediately burst into tears, held Tanchun's hand, and sobbed: "Why is the third sister so miserable? I heard that the imperial army didn't win the battle? Why do you still need your daughter to get married?"
There was a lot of fuss about the marriage, and even a boudoir daughter like Tanchun knew that the marriage was to redeem the captured Prince of Nan'an County, and the emperor did not approve of the marriage.
But so what?
Thinking of his future destiny, Tanchun couldn't help but burst into tears.
Baochai was also in the house. After hearing Baoyu's childish words, she felt equally disappointed. She had no way out and could only hope that Baoyu would wake up.
"Baoyu, don't say this nonsense. Don't let the outside world hear it. It's not right for our family to complain about Nan'an Palace behind our back. If you want your sisters to live well, stop playing around and study hard. It's the right thing to do.
."
Baoyu didn't like the calculations of the officialdom, and he couldn't accept Tanchun's marriage. After hearing Baochai's words, he was about to fall out.
At this time, Tanchun no longer had to compromise, and continued Baochai's words, saying: "Second brother, Sister Bao is right. Our family is not as good as every year, and we are struggling to survive and only use money to support ourselves. This time
By replacing Princess Nan'an in marriage, I can also buy some time for the family. If you take advantage of this time and study hard, you will live up to my heart."
"Sister Bao advised me to study, and you also advised me to study. There are so many officials in the imperial court who are the scholars you envy. You have to rely on the third sister to get married in order to buy peace on the border. I hate those scumbags the most in my life, you guys
Why bother forcing me?" Baoyu finally couldn't hold it back and fell out with Baochai and Tanchun.
At this time, Yingchun and Xichun arrived at Tanchun's residence. After hearing Baoyu's words and what Yingchun said, Xichun couldn't help it.
"Since the second brother feels sorry for the third sister, why can't he study seriously? As long as the second brother succeeds in his studies, even the old lady and the second master cannot refute your opinion. Then he can make the decision for the third sister with his own strength."
When Baoyu saw so many sisters pressuring him, he couldn't stay any longer and turned around and left.
Several people in the room shook their heads and looked at each other with a wry smile.
Yingchun didn't want Tanchun to continue to be sad, so she asked, "Does the third sister want to do anything?"
Tanchun turned his back, wiped his tears, and whispered: "I'm going to get married, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for the rest of my life. Before I left, I just hoped that the sisters would meet and say a few words. 2
Sister, can you leave a message for me to Sister Lin and ask her to come and see me off."
Yingchun was very embarrassed after hearing this. Although Dafang had a good relationship with the Lin family, he was not sure about inviting Daiyu over. As for the reason, in addition to the relationship between Lin and Jia's family, it was Baoyu's reason. Baoyu was still so old.
They were messing around in the house, making it impossible for the sisters to even talk about their marriage.
Among these sisters, only Xiangyun was engaged to be married to the Wei family. Before Wei Ruolan went to southern Xinjiang, they got married in a hurry. Unfortunately, Wei Ruolan was captured with the Nan'an County Prince. It is not clear what the situation is now.
clear.
However, this was Tanchun's last wish before leaving, and Yingchun really couldn't bear to refuse.
"I'll try to leave a message for Sister Lin. But I'm not sure about asking Sister Lin to come over."
Tanchun also knew the reason and did not force it.
Xichun said with dissatisfaction: "Third sister, why bother worrying so much. Sister Lin can help for a while, but can she help for the rest of her life? Second brother is not making progress himself, do you still want to hurt Sister Lin?"
Obviously, Xichun saw Tanchun's thoughts. He was just concerned about Tanchun's face and did not mention the hatred between the two families.
Yingchun took Xichun's hand and shook her head.
How could Tanchun not know that her demands were too much, but Jia Zheng was her father, how could she not care about her upbringing. The discord between the two families became increasingly serious. When the old lady passed away, and the treasure jade was useless, how could she survive in the future?
Baochai stayed at the end, holding Tanchun's hand and saying nothing.
It would be impossible to send a message to the Lin family in Yingchun, so I took Xichun to Wang Xifeng's place.
Wang Xifeng was silent after hearing Tanchun's request.
The second wife thought that she could exchange favors from the Prince of Nan'an through the marriage. Little did she know that even if the Prince of Nan'an came back, he would not get any good results. The other three princes did not make any big mistakes and were happy when the emperor took over power.
Only by handing over power can we maintain our current status.
The Prince of Nan'an suffered a defeat, which made the emperor lose face. It would be a good thing if his house was not confiscated, but he did not care about the Jia family at all.
"After all, we are sisters. Sister Lin doesn't bear any grudge against you, so she will definitely not refuse. You go ahead and write a post. I will send someone to send it to Sister Lin."
Just as Yingchun was about to say thank you, Xiaohong ran in from outside and said that Brother Mao was crying. The three of them didn't care about anything else and hurried towards Brother Mao's house.
Brother Mao is the son of Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian. He is only a few months old now. Wang Xifeng was afraid that he would be surprised by the coming and going of people, so he found another place to handle housework. He specially arranged for Ping'er and Xiaohong to take turns watching in the yard.
, so you can rest assured.
When he returned to the yard, Mao Geer saw a familiar person and immediately stopped worrying.
The nanny was afraid of being punished, so she explained: "When the eldest brother woke up and couldn't see his grandma and the girls, he started crying. The slaves couldn't comfort him."
Brother Mao listened to the nanny's words and responded a few times.
Everyone in the room was amused by his appearance. Wang Xifeng said to the nurse: "I also know that you are doing your best and I won't blame you."
Seeing that Brother Mao was fine, Yingchun planned to go back and write a post. Just as he was about to leave, Brother Mao started crying again and stretched out his hand to Yingchun.
"Brother Mao wants my aunt to leave. Just play with him for a while and then go back and write a post."
Wang Xifeng didn't want her son to be wronged, so she stayed with Yingchun. Brother Mao was young after all, and he got tired after a while, so he asked the wet nurse to take him down to rest.
