After the incident that night, the Jia family quickly returned to its previous peace. On this day, Li Wan still took the sisters of the Jia family to read and write together, while Baochai and Yingchun sat on the couch and watched Nv Hong. It looked like she was embroidering a silk handkerchief. Daiyu and Baoyu were sitting on the other side. Daiyu held up a book and Baoyu looked at it. From time to time, he would give some pointers, and Daiyu responded with a smile.
Xichun herself sat by the window with her chin propped up and a picture album in one hand. While looking at the scenery outside the window, she was trying to figure out the painting methods in the album. Tanchun and Li Wan were discussing a calligraphy rubbing. Most women in this era Life in the boudoir is generally like this.
Tan Chun pointed at one of the characters and said, "Sister-in-law, please teach me. I really don't know how to write here." Li Wan held the rubbing and looked at the character carefully, then smiled and said, "You really shouldn't ask. I, even if I speak clearly, you can’t understand it. Even if you understand it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to write it. Such words must have been copied by a famous writer who can write! How can I have it? What kind of famous person is he?"
When Tan Chun heard this, he let out a disappointed sound and said, "What should we do?" Li Wan couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw her like this: "Aren't you practicing Chu Shu and Wen Zhengming's small regular script? Why are you thinking about practicing Yan and Ti again? ?" Tan Chun sighed and stroked the calligraphy on the rubbings and said, "I really like the calligraphy of Mi Xiangyang and Yan Lugong! I just can't practice it! I'm so stupid!"
Li Wan laughed when he heard this and said: "Originally these two fonts are very upright and masculine fonts. How can it be suitable for a daughter's family like you to write?" Tan Chun leaned on the table distressedly when he heard this and said: "But I just want to practice!" Li Wan had no choice but to say: "I haven't practiced it before, so I'm afraid it won't be good even if I write it down."
When Baochai heard this, he raised his head and smiled and said, "Everyone else is just like her. Third girl has a magnificent temperament. Maybe we can't write it, but you can do it with just one try." Tan Chun smiled when he heard this. Said: "I hope so!"
Daiyu heard clearly from the side, and she had secretly curled her lips. She even fawned over the three girls, as if no one knew she was a good person! Baoyu next to her snorted softly when she saw Daiyu, He couldn't help but raise his head and look at her in confusion: "What's wrong with my sister?"
Everyone looked at Daiyu after hearing this, and Daiyu immediately came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought that calligraphy is no better than anything else. Although hard work can make up for one's weakness, in the end, one still seeks spirituality. If one really loses one's spiritual energy, then It’s like printing a book! It’s better if you don’t practice. If you start writing but don’t write well but still write, I’m afraid it will lose its flavor again. Even if you want to write in the future, you won’t be able to write!”
When Baochai heard the words, he smiled slightly, lowered his head and continued to embroider the handkerchief. When Tanchun heard the words, he also said the same, and sighed: "What can I do..." Everyone saw her frowning face and explained that it was funny. , Daiyu rolled her eyes and smiled: "If you really want to practice, I know a famous teacher who is very good at facial expressions. Are you willing to ask for advice?"
Tan Chun immediately came to his senses and said: "Famous teacher? Who?" Li Wan said with a smile: "Don't listen to Zhu'er's nonsense. How can she, an ordinary boudoir lady, recognize a famous teacher? She is just teasing you, but she really does. Are you still preparing to go to Shuxiu to become a disciple?" Baochai also smiled and said: "It's better to rest! It's only by asking the adults to listen to what I said that I got a good result!"
Daiyu snorted softly when she heard this and said: "I really know it! If you don't believe it, forget it!" Tan Chun stepped forward quickly and said: "Believe it! Believe it, believe it! Good sister, I believe it, just tell me secretly.
Come on!" Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw this.
Daiyu also smiled and said: "You also recognize this person! He is the second brother Jing of Dongfu, why have you forgotten? The second brother Jing's calligraphy is very good. Wasn't it his facial expressions that he first practiced?"
When Tanchun heard this, he lay back down with some disappointment. Daiyu asked curiously: "Didn't I tell you this? It's just up to you whether you can become a famous teacher." Tanchun sighed and said: "Sister Lin, Young Master
Are you fooling me? I didn’t know that my second brother can write very well. But where can he have time to play with us?"
Tanchun sighed and said, "I haven't seen my second brother for almost half a year. Where can I ask him to teach me how to write? Is it a dream?" Baochai slapped Tanchun in anger and said, "You're talking nonsense!"
Chun smiled, but everyone fell silent after laughing. Xichun held her chin and sighed: "The last time I didn't see my brother for so long was when he was practicing in Xuanzhen Temple..."
Everyone was silent and seemed to have lost interest. Daiyu turned to look at Baoyu and said: "Last time we asked you to go and talk to the second brother for a few words, have you gone?" Baoyu looked at Daiyu's big black eyes.
The caring look on his face made him feel a little sour, but he still smiled bitterly and said: "Where can we talk? I finally found the one who sent people all over the Shenjing City a few days ago, but where can I get there?"
Baoyu sighed and said: "You don't know that the second brother's status is different now. Wherever he goes, he is not protected by a group of military generals. In addition, he is now so famous in Shenjing City. Wherever he goes, it is not overcrowded. Everything is crowded.
Come and see him! A few days ago, didn’t I tell you about the most popular drama in the market today?”
The most popular play in the city of Shenjing today is "The Marquis of Jinxiang is angry and raises rebels, and white robes kill the rebels at night." The sisters of the Jia family have also heard of it. Jia's mother was not feeling well a few days ago.
Li, the family invited several opera troupes to come over to sing operas, including this part, which the Jia sisters also watched with gusto. Even in the previous life, it took a long time for a big star to appear in the family, let alone this entertainment industry now.
In an era of scarcity? The people I spend time with day and night are actually put on the stage and acted out... This is so interesting!
Looking at the little girl dressed as a martial arts student on the stage, wearing a silver-blue opera robe with four small flags on the back, Jia Jing's horse was also "artistically transformed" into a silver gun, holding a white riding crop in one hand and waving a silver whip in the other.
Guns, dancing with the "rebels" in black shorts, rolling to the ground from time to time, the Jia sisters' faces were rosy and excited, but they were also secretly worried, especially when Jia Jing stabbed Fan to death with one shot.
The pale-faced Marquis of Jinxiang and Xiangyun couldn't help but stand up, applaud and cheer loudly, which inevitably caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Jia's mother was also very happy because of this. Afterwards, she rewarded the Chongxi Tower theater troupe with a lot of money. So the Jia sisters knew that Jia Jing was now a famous "big shot" in the world, but they still didn't change for a while.
…
Baoyu sighed and said: "Whenever I have the chance to go up and say a few words, can I not go up? Have I ever made a mistake in the things my sisters have entrusted to me? It's just... Alas! I heard that my second brother was on the street a few days ago.
When he was leaving, he was robbed by some girls and wanted to kidnap him back to get married..."
"What did you say!?"
Everyone immediately became energetic. Xue Baochai said angrily: "You can't talk nonsense. How can you talk nonsense about such a thing?" Baoyu immediately exclaimed: "Where am I talking nonsense? This is clearly the case!" Baoyu drooled with envy and said:
"You don't know that there are many such unruly and willful noble ladies in Shenjing City, plus those girls from small families, now they all regard the second brother as their wishful husband, and they can't wait to kidnap him back to get married immediately..."
Li Wan frowned slightly and said, "Okay, don't talk about this anymore..." What's it like to talk about getting married in front of a bunch of ladies in the boudoir... But Baoyu shook his head enviously and said, "It is said that the second brother was walking in the past few days.
On the street, my hair was torn off or my clothes were torn, so I couldn’t see my second brother! After that, he was always surrounded by soldiers from three levels inside and three outside. How could I get along? Second brother
Even when he saw me, he just nodded and left. How could he have time to talk to me?"
Everyone was a little weird when they heard this, but Daiyu lowered her head quietly, feeling a little worried in her heart. Her clothes were torn? Then my sachet is okay? He won't lose my sachet! Then
He wants something from me next time, but he can’t!
Daiyu was in a daze while fidgeting with her embroidered handkerchief with her fingers. Baochai quietly pulled her. When Daiyu came back to her senses, she saw everyone looking at her strangely. Daiyu couldn't help but blush. Yingchun stepped forward and said doubtfully:
"Are you tired? Why are you so stupid again?"
Daiyu smiled and was about to speak, but she heard Wang Xifeng coming in with a smile and saying, "Oh! Why are you so complete today?" Daiyu immediately changed her tone and said with a smile, "What a disgusting thing! We ourselves
It’s such a good place, why are you here again?”
Wang Xifeng smiled and rolled her eyes at Daiyu and said, "You think I'm here to see you? I won't serve you today! I'm here to see my fourth sister!" Everyone looked at Xichun in surprise when they heard this.
Xichun also stood up slightly nervously and said: "Second, second sister-in-law, are you looking for me?"
Wang Xifeng stepped forward and took Xichun's little hand, smiled and touched Xichun's hair and said, "Isn't this just looking for you? Come and see who the second sister-in-law has brought for you? What are you doing standing outside the door after you come in?" Xichun became more and more frightened.
He looked towards the door and saw a strange man walking in. He lowered his head slightly and did not look at the people in the room, but first saluted Xichun and said: "Fourth Miss! My slave Wang Fuzhong is here to take Fourth Miss back home."
Everyone was stunned, Xichun said timidly: "You, who are you? Why go back to the mansion?" Wang Fuzhong smiled and said: "This servant is the chief executive of the Dongfu personally appointed by the uncle, and now he is in charge of the Dongfu.
As for the matter, my uncle specially sent someone back today to say that he will be returning home in the afternoon and asked me to take the Fourth Miss back to his home first."
Wang Fuzhong raised his head and smiled, looking at Xichun who was a little dazed, and said: "Fourth Miss, let's go home."
