Chapter 696

Let’s talk about it again on the birthday.

But Shi Xiangyun followed everyone back to the hall. After waiting for a while, Jiao Shun came back. Then he took the initiative to inquire about Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang: "Old lady, I wonder if the second sister is doing well recently? Why have you never seen such a festive day?

She showed her face?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang, and then hesitated: "Since your second sister has hysteria, she has...ah, why don't I want the whole family to be neat? But..."

Mrs. Wang beat the drum and patched it: "It's a good thing you are thinking about her. It's logical that you should have arranged for you to meet again, but now you are both bodies. It would be great if you are injured by her - wait a little longer

, Whether it is her illness better or you may be happy to have a noble son first, it will not be too late for your sisters to meet again."

When Shi Xiangyun heard what they said, he thought Yingchun was so crazy that he subconsciously stroked his lower abdomen and wanted to give up the idea of ​​visiting Yingchun.

However, when facing the angel, Jia Baoyu, who dared not say anything, suddenly jumped out and shouted: "The old lady and the wife thought they hadn't seen the second sister for a while. She is very good now.

, speaks clearly, and doesn't look like..."

"Who asked you to go?!"

Mrs. Wang interrupted him with a stern voice and scolded: "She is fine when she is cured. If she gets crazy, she can kill and set fire! You must dare to run to the Jinlou privately and carefully your father.

Skinned you!"

This anger made Baoyu shrink his neck again.

Shi Xiangyun looked around, but she always felt that there was something else. However, she was separated from Rongguo Mansion by a layer and now she is married as a wife, so she can't find out the truth in public.

But without asking clearly, I feel uneasy.

So I had to pull Tanchun into a corner in private and ask carefully.

However, Tanchun is the initiator of Yingchun's imprisonment, so how could he tell the truth to Xiangyun?

I made up a more perfect and smooth excuse and finally got Xiangyun Lake over.

In the end, Xiangyun had no choice but to order Cuilu to get a large box of precious medicinal materials to refresh her mind and ask Tanchun to help him transfer it to Zhujinlou, which can be regarded as talking about the feelings between cousins.

Tanchun took the medicinal materials and turned away from the hall. He was about to call two familiar servants to send them, but suddenly he was strangled from the slanted back. Then he heard Baoyu's indignation coming from his ears.

Voice: "Sister tell me the truth, what's going on?"

Tanchun never thought that Xiangyun was just perfunctory, and his brother came to him to ask questions again.

At that moment, Yangzuo said in confusion: "What did the second brother say? Why can't I understand?"

"Yes, yes!"

Jia Baoyu let go of her wrist and took a step back, looking sad: "You are old now, and you have become the chief manager of Sister Feng, so naturally you won't let us idle brothers and sisters go.

In my eyes!”

"What did my brother say?!"

Tanchun gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just helping my wife with some chores temporarily. After a few months, I will have my own good things to serve me! As for the second sister, if she is good, who else will there be?

Will she be locked up and not allowed to meet people?!"

"Yes, but the second sister is obviously fine..."

Seeing Tanchun being really annoyed, Jia Baoyu's attitude suddenly softened and explained embarrassedly: "I have been hysterical since I was a child. You can tell at first glance that my second sister never looks confused!"

Tanchun sneered: "Why didn't my brother argue with his wife just now and could rescue his second sister?"

"this……"

Baoyu was speechless.

Nowadays, he is afraid that he is the only one in Rongguo Mansion who still cares about Yingchun. This is certainly Baoyu's advantage, but it is impossible to make him argue with his mother in public for his second sister.

If it were Lin Meimei, there was still a little possibility.

Seeing his fear, Tanchun's anger suddenly disappeared, and Yixingshan said: "If my brother was willing to listen to us, he stood firm in the engineering field, how could he be at home now.

Can't even get in touch?"

After saying that, he ignored Baoyu and handed the medicine box to a servant, then turned around and returned to the hall.

Jia Baoyu was so frustrated by her words. After careful consideration, she felt that it made some sense, so she rarely tried to work hard.

But after thinking about it, he added another premise to himself: I need to find Lin Meimei first. If I can’t find Lin Meimei, it will be boring to live in the future. Why are you still the bird official?

As soon as he made up his mind, he saw Jiao Shun walking towards this side with grinning, rubbing his arms and pinching his shoulders while walking.

"What's wrong with Brother Jiao?"

"Harry~"

Jiao Shun waved his hand and said with a smirk: "I accidentally tripped by the bushes just now."

"Are you hurt?"

"I'm so thick-skinned and not so easy to get hurt."

Jiao Shun waved his hand again, looked into the hall with the flow, and asked, "Have Uncle Shi ever been back?"

"I haven't come back yet, I guess the treasury is not finished yet."

"oh."

Jiao Shun nodded and bowed, "Then Brother Lao Bao will sue me. Xiangyun is two-body after all, so I have to take her back to rest earlier."

Jia Baoyu naturally agreed.

So he led him to meet Xiangyun again.

Seeing that he had been there for so long before he came back, Xiangyun couldn't help but ask: "What did Sister Feng tell you?"

Jiao Shunchong bowed Luoquan and pulled Xiangyun aside and complained: "She didn't just say that, but she also surrounded me like crazy and grabbed and bite the two hundred thousand taels of silver. The emperor wanted to copy it, and

It’s not me who ignored me!"

His complaints were not entirely performed. Wang Xifeng is a fight against Wushao, but he is really cruel when he starts!

Seeing that he had a rare look of bitterness, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly covered his mouth with the back of his hand and said, "My second sister-in-law is so rich, this time she lost 200,000 taels of huge amount.

It’s not her fault for going crazy because of this.”

Jiao Shun looked back at the people in the hall and whispered: "In fact, it's not just because of wealth. She was originally incompatible with Brother Lian, but now she has lost the Wang family as her backer. In the future, she is in the Rongguo Mansion.

I'm afraid it's hard to be as strong as before."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Xiangyun was silent.

She married into the Jiao family from Rongguo Mansion, and it took only half a year to calculate, but this time she returned to the Grand View Garden, she always felt that things were wrong.

The only thing that has not changed much seems to be the only brother Bao, but he still can't be called a good thing.

"Okay, don't think so much. Let's just live our own life behind closed doors."

Seeing this, Jiao Shun hugged her and comforted her for a few words, then went to look for elders such as Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and other elders to bid farewell, and took Xiangyun directly back to her home.

After the couple left, Aunt Xue, who had been silent, hurriedly took her daughter and niece to leave. When she first came to the capital, Rongguo Mansion was regarded as a safe haven by her, but now she always feels a little out of place.

…………

The sedan was parked in the second door clamping passage.

Jiao Shun picked up the royal blue curtain and was about to help Shi Xiangyun get out of the sedan chair, but Shi Xiangyun took the lead in handing over a roll of paper.

Jiao Shun took it and opened it and saw that it was the birthday picture with Jia Mu as the protagonist.

Then Shi Xiangyun said, "It's getting late, so the master quickly sends the things to avoid waiting there for a long time."

After hearing this, Jiao Shun casually picked up the painting, reached out to help him again, and said, "It's just a copy of the painting, what's the point of being urgent?"

Shi Xiangyun took the lead and pushed him again: "She likes to be stubborn. If she is too late to get rid of her, I don't know how many tears she will shed."

Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Jiao Shun had to 'reluctantly' and said, "Well, then I'll go and go early, put down my things and say a few words and leave."

Then, without waiting for Shi Xiangyun to react, he pecked her on the face, and then he laughed and left.

Shi Xiangyun touched his cheek and watched him walk away. Then he walked towards the backyard surrounded by Cuilu, Xiangling and Hongyu. Qingwen said that she would not go back to the Grand View Garden.

When I returned to the backyard, I saw Xu pulling Qingwen and chatting.

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly took a few steps to come forward to greet him, but was pulled by Xu and said repeatedly: "What are you doing with these vulgar things? Be careful not to hurt your body!"

Shi Xiangyun snuggled into Xu's arms and said in a sweet voice: "Mother is joking, I'm not that delicate."

While holding her in a familiar way, Xu leaned over to look at the gate of the yard. After a while, Jiao Shun came in, he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Why, Brother Shun didn't come back with you?"

"I came back together, but he still had some official duties to deal with, so I asked him to do it first."

"Why can't this kid tell the difference between inside and outside?"

When Xu heard this, Yang said angrily: "Is your wife and children more important than official business? Wait until he comes back, and see how I teach him a lesson!"

Although I know that my mother-in-law's attitude is mostly for me to show it.

But Shi Xiangyun was still quite helpful and laughed and said, "Mother doesn't have to be bothered. When did the master neglect me? He worked hard outside, so why isn't it for this family?"

Xu patted her back with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's good that you can understand, it's good that you can understand! When the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, I'll let him stay at home for a few days, how can I do it all.

You have the final say!"

He paused and said, "If you are bored, let's invite a few female singers who sing and storytelling to come."

"Why don't you ask outside? Isn't there a core officer here for the ready-made one?"

"If you listen too much, you will get tired of it, so it's better..."

What is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, let’s not talk about it for now.

But Jiao Shun rode his bike as usual and rushed to Taohua Lane all the way. When he entered the courtyard gate, he ran into Chunxian.

Chunxian was about to shout, but he covered his mouth and smiled and said, "Don't shout, don't shout, where are your girls?"

Chunxian pointed into the study.

Jiao let go of her and quietly touched her into the study.

But Lin Daiyu was sitting at the desk, holding the book "Pride and Prejudice" intently reading it.

Jiao Shun sneaked around behind her, spread the birthday party picture, and quietly placed it on the desk.

Lin Daiyu was still unaware of anything and was still unable to put down the scroll.

Seeing this, Chunxian, who was protruding to the door, couldn't help but stop talking. He was confused and accidentally bumped into the door panel. Lin Daiyu was only alarmed. When she looked up, she saw that it was Chunxian, so she looked down and continued reading without caring about it.

At this time, the pictures on the table suddenly came into view.

“Huh?!”

Daiyu couldn't help but exclaim, put the book in her hand aside, carefully picked up the scroll and looked at it for a while, then looked up and asked Chunxian: "Where did this painting come from?"

After asking, she saw Chunxian staring at her back in a daze. She immediately understood something and turned around suddenly. She saw Jiao Shun grinning at her.

"Oh~"

Lin Daiyu exclaimed again, then gave Jiao Shun a angrily glance and said, "Why is Brother Jiao elusive? He is not afraid of scaring people out of trouble."

"Tsk~"

Jiao Shun smacked her lips and pointed to the picture in her hand and said, "I came here to deliver the painting to you. Since you are surprised or not, then this painting..."

Before he could finish his words, Lin Daiyu had already protected the painting in her heart, her eyes full of vigilance.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun couldn't help laughing, and then picked up "Pride and Prejudice" beside him and said, "How is this book? Is it still a quick look?"

Lin Daiyu looked at the cover of the book and sighed: "Sure enough, ten miles are different from the customs and the pronunciations are different. The words from thousands of miles away are actually unique, which is very different from our heavenly dynasty."

"That's natural. This book is considered first-class among the many stories in Uxi - and the author is still a woman, which is even more rare."

When Jiao Shun said this, seeing Lin Daiyu's leisurely look fascinated, he couldn't help but smile and said, "My sister is outstanding in talent. Why not just follow this book and write a book about the joys and sorrows of our Daxia?"

"I?"

Lin Daiyu was stunned for a moment, then asked back: "What do you write?"

She didn't ask why, but asked "what to write", obviously she had already thought about it.

"This is not simple, just start with the people and things around you and write..."

Jiao Shun originally wanted to instigate her to write a book called "Dream of Red Mansions" based on her own experience, but when she spoke, she suddenly felt that it was inappropriate.

The main reason is that if you write according to actual experience, you will inevitably remember the past and delve into the present.

The former is prone to rekindling of old love, while the latter...

If Lin Daiyu thought about it and felt frustrated by the situation of becoming an outdoor room, and then strengthened her desire to go south, what should she do?

So he quickly changed his words and said, "For example, the matter of Ou Guan, isn't there anything to write about?"

"What's going on with Ou Guan?"

"yes!"

Jiao Shun was running the train track: "Actually, I heard Jiang Yuhan - Qi Guan, who once sang opera in the Zhongshun Palace - tell a similar story. It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, two people were sent to the opera troupe since childhood.

The boy, one is called Xiaoshitou, and the other is Xiaodouzi..."

Next, he told the plot of "Farewell My Concubine" vividly, and the story was roughly based on the movie, only changing the background of the times to the late Qing Dynasty and early summer.

Lin Daiyu initially thought he was the story he made up according to the official, but as she listened, she fell into it. When she heard it at the end, Cheng Dieyi committed suicide by laughing and dying on the stage, she was already full of tears.

If there is no Ouguan, she may not be able to be involved in the emotional entanglement between the two men. However, since she has accepted the existence of Ouguan, it will not only be without obstacles to enter, but will be able to understand the joys and sorrows of it better than most people.

"This story, this story..."

She sobbed and slowed down for a while before finally saying everything: "I, I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to defeat this story."

"Try it first."

Jiao Shun smiled and hugged her into his arms, holding a handkerchief to help her wipe her tears, and said, "Anyway, Jiang Yuhan has gone to Wuxi Country, so no one wants to snatch this from you."

Lin Daiyu was sad for a while before she gradually recovered and then became immersed in the story.

After a while, he turned around and shouted to the door: "Go and find the official of Ou."

Chunxian, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, responded with a strong nasal sound.

Soon after, Ou Guan walked in quickly. Seeing Lin Daiyu's eyes red and swollen, she subconsciously looked at Jiao Shun again.

But Lin Daiyu said, "I just heard Brother Jiao tell a story, and the protagonists of the story are also two opera singers..."

This time it was Lin Daiyu's turn to tell the story, and it was hard for her to listen to it once, and she remembered more than 90% of it, and only a few paragraphs needed to be supplemented by Jiao Shun.

After telling the story of "Farewell My Concubine", Lin Daiyu asked again: "I want to try to write this story down, whether it is a storybook or something - but I know nothing about the opera, and a small part of it will still want you.

Assist from the side, but I don’t know if you are willing to…”

Plop~!
