But he said that Jia Lian had met a group of elders and then returned to his room.

Although Sister Feng has been busy recently and has not had a moment to spare, it can be seen that Jia Lian has returned from a long journey, but she has to take time to receive him.

Since there was no one else in the room, she gave a salute with a smile: "I'm so happy, my uncle! I've had a hard journey all the way. I heard yesterday's call from the head of the horse, saying that I'm going back to the house today, so I've made some preparations."

With a glass of water and wine to dust off the dust, I wonder if I will be able to give you a bright and false collar?"

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian glanced at her, but there wasn't much of a smile on his face. He just threw his body across the bed and rested his arms on his head, seeming quite unhappy.

"You cruel thief!"

Wang Xifeng also changed his expression immediately. He pointed at Jia Lian with one hand on his waist and a handkerchief in the other, and cursed: "I haven't written many letters to my family since I was away for more than half a year. Now that I have finally come back, I am the first to show off my face."

Got it!"

Jia Lian glanced at her again and said helplessly: "I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

Wang Xifeng was always a very unreasonable person, not to mention that her long-awaited enthusiasm was reflected on her cold face, so how could she still bear her temper?

At that moment, he put his hands on his hips and cried out: "After you left, I was busy every day trying to make ends meet, just for fear of losing your face. But now it's better, I've lost my face!"

Jia Lian has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and is used to the gentleness of women from water towns. Now he hears such arrogant words again, and naturally he feels a little uncomfortable.

But after all, it was his fault first, so he couldn't get angry at Wang Xifeng, so he could only explain with a smile: "I'm really not blaming you, but the changes in my family have been too big, which makes me feel a little unhappy."

As he spoke, he told what he had seen and heard on the dock.

He added: "Because of this decree, the second master went to Jiao's house specially - in order to meet the second master, I actually went to his house specially!"

After a pause, he asked gloomily: "My uncle has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years, but he has never received the gift of a knighthood and bounty, right? He is a seventh-grade official who has just resigned from the country, but what does he deserve?"

"Kekeke..."

After Wang Xifeng heard this, she burst into laughter, punched Jia Lian in the chest with her pink fist, and joked: "It turns out that our uncle is jealous of him! What's the matter? Is he guarding Jia Lian in the south?"

I have been following Uncle Lin for a long time, and I have the idea of ​​​​living in eight seats? Then I will tell my wife tomorrow and ask the eldest daughter to find a place for you..."

"Hun, say something!"

Jia Lian hurriedly covered her mouth, pulled her to the bed, and cursed with a half-serious smile: "Little Hoof, I just returned to Beijing, and you want to drive me out again. Do you think I'm in the way?"

"Bah~"

Wang Xifeng spat in his ear as if it was tickling, and cursed in a disgusting voice: "Obviously you are the one who is enjoying yourself outside, and you are not clean, so you poured dirty water on my head!"

The two of them were laughing and joking for a while, feeling a little emotional, when they suddenly heard someone talking outside, which made them both feel a little disappointed.

Wang Xifeng turned over and sat up, arranging her hair, and shouted, "Who is outside?"

Ping'er came in and replied: "Brother Shun asked Xiangling to send back the pair of cards."

"What the hell, Brother Shun."

Jia Lian sneered: "I am now an official of the imperial court, and my title is higher than mine!"

Then he started to think about it again, and sighed: "I went to Jiao's house to meet the second master, and I happened to see a very distinctive maid, who looked very neat. Because I was suspicious that there was no such person in our family, I asked casually,

It seems to be called Xiangling - I heard that Fool Xue bought it before he came to Beijing? I don’t think he was willing to be ruined by that slave!"

Before entering Beijing, he would never have dared to say these words in front of Wang Xifeng, but since he was used to being unruly in Jiangnan, there were no taboos anymore.

"Ai!"

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she immediately said sourly: "After a trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou, I should have seen some worldly things, but why am I still greedy? If you really love her, it's not worth anything. I

How about going to get Ping'er and replace it with her?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that Jia Lian didn't respond in anger, he said seriously: "I'd better change my title in the future. Before, I could say that he was a helper from the eldest girl, but now it seems that he has really won the favor of Long Live Master based on his ability.

I don’t dare to be a slave anymore!”

"Um."

Jia Lian reluctantly agreed, and simply stood up and said: "Brother Zhen is going to give me a banquet in the evening, so I will go early and come back early."

Saying that, he walked out.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly sent her out reluctantly, but who knew that at the door, Jia Lian suddenly turned around and pinched her face again, and said with a smile: "You are waiting at home, I will take care of you when I come back!"

Wang Xifeng was only concerned about shame and joy at first, but after Jia Lian left, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

I couldn't help but pull Ping'er away and asked: "Do you think the second master is different this time when he comes back?"

Ping'er was also vaguely aware of it, but he still smiled and said comfortingly: "How can this be different? We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and we are already a little alienated from each other."

…………

Let’s go back and talk about the other protagonist who returned to Beijing this time.

"Sister Bao's, Sister Yingchun's, Sister Tanchun's, these are for little sister Xichun."

Lin Daiyu counted the gifts on the table one by one. When Zijuan arrived outside, she raised her head seemingly inadvertently and met the eyes of Baoyu who refused to miss her.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Daiyu took the largest gift and said, "These are for you. If you don't mind, take them."

"younger sister."

Baoyu stepped forward and took a box in his hand, glanced at the gifts next to him, and said with a smile: "Why do I have so many gifts?"

Lin Daiyu suddenly had a serious look on her face: "If you think it's too much, just leave it for me!"

Baoyu hurriedly used his body to suppress it with all his strength, and kept saying: "No more, no more, I want it all, I want it all!"

Lin Daiyu looked at him and smiled again. Remembering what she saw on the pier, she said curiously: "I just got off the boat and heard that an angel came to the house, but he still wanted to deliver a decree to the servants in Sister Feng's house. But this is...

What happened all of a sudden?"

Baoyu briefly explained the origin of Jiao Shun, and then said: "He was awarded this award probably because of the work-study policy - both the master and Sister Bao praised it and said it was a good way to bring benefits and eliminate disadvantages."

, and even asked me to write an article based on it."

"Yo~"

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with her backhand, and said with surprise: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year. I don't think you will be successful, but you will write some political articles?"

"Sister, stop teasing me!"

Jia Baoyu said with a sad face: "When I saw the official career and economics, I got a headache. How can I write anything? In the end, I asked Sister Bao to ask for some advice, and then I managed to cope with it."

"Hmph~"

Hearing him mention Baochai one after another, Lin Daiyu felt a little unhappy. She couldn't help but snorted and asked, "Then why do you want to be useless to me instead of being taught by Master Bao?"

Seeing that she seemed annoyed, Baoyu hurriedly said with a smile on her face, "I just like useless things."

"OK!"

Lin Daiyu didn't want to but became even more annoyed. She turned her back and covered her face, stamping her feet and saying, "You really think I'm useless!"

"Good sister, this... you, I..."

Baoyu was so panic-stricken that he stamped his feet and said, "I wish I could take out my heart and show it to you!"

As he said that, he raised his hand and patted his chest, but heard a crisp sound.

Baoyu then remembered something and hurriedly took out the wagtail incense string from his arms. He held it to Lin Daiyu like a treasure and said, "Sister, look what this is! This is a gift from Prince Beijing. I'll leave it for you."

It’s been a long time.”

Lin Daiyu originally took it and took a closer look. When she heard that someone else had given it to her, she immediately threw it back and said, "I don't want anything that a stinky man has taken!"

While the commotion was happening, Sanchun and Baochai both heard the news and rushed over.

The sisters were very eager to meet each other, but after Daiyu met Sanchun, she took Baochai's hand and looked up and down.

Xue Baochai couldn't help but wonder: "Sister, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

"Sister is very appropriate."

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I'm just curious about how my sister has such great ability. She can even teach cows to recognize rhyme and rhythm, and she also learned how to play the five sounds of Gongshang!"

Xue Baochai was confused when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Baoyu. When he saw Baoyu laughing behind him, he suddenly felt enlightened.

He pulled Daiyu behind him with his backhand, stopped in front of Baoyu and said with a smile: "I don't think there is a cow in this house, so we have to keep an eye on Sister Lin and don't let her be chewed by the cow!"

This is obviously comparing Daiyu to peony, but if you look closely, it seems to have some other meaning.

But before anyone else could think about it, Baoyu raised his horns on his head and shouted "moo, moo".

The sisters were all laughing and could not care about anything else.

But at this time, Xiren came looking for him, saying that Uncle Zhen of Dongfu wanted to meet Jia Lian, so he invited Baoyu and Jiao Shun to accompany him.

Baoyu was reluctant in every way, but she couldn't resist everyone's persuasion. Even Daiyu said that the cousins ​​hadn't seen each other for half a year, so they should get together to be affectionate.
