When I got home, I met Sister Feng in the courtyard.
Sister Feng was holding a little eldest sister's coat in her hand. She stood on the east corridor and looked at Jia Lian, then at Qingwen who was running behind him, and then she smiled and said: "Coax your sister Lin."
alright?"
Jia Lian also knew in his heart that some of the things he said in Daiyu's house might not be very useful to Sister Feng, so he wanted to step forward and coax her too.
Based on the current relationship between him and Sister Feng, which has experienced so many collisions, frictions and emotions, it can be said that it is no exaggeration to describe it as Bi Jin Jian.
Therefore, as long as it does not threaten Sister Feng's fundamental interests, such as the status of a wife, the eldest son, etc., she will not care about it.
As a woman, if you have been wronged and don’t want to leave you, all the fussing with you is just to get a man to coax you.
Who would have thought that as soon as Jia Lian moved his steps, Sister Feng could see Jia Lian's thoughts. She waved her hand quickly: "Goodbye, there are guests at home, and they are all here to congratulate you. You go and accompany me first, and I'll give it to the little eldest sister."
Just change your clothes and come here."
After saying that, Sister Feng walked into the east chamber.
This choked sentence and the vigorous and resolute attitude that did not give him a chance to speak made Jia Lian stiff for a moment. So much so that Qingwen beside him couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
Jia Lian turned around and glanced at her with a neither salty nor cold look, and then she shut her mouth.
Stepping into the main room, I saw that the west room was full of guests.
Sisters Sanchun and Baochai Xiangyun came over. When they saw Jia Lian coming in, they all came over to greet him. The first words they spoke were congratulations.
Then Tanchun complained: "It was hard to tell in Sister Lin's room just now, but now I want to tell you and Brother Lian carefully."
Tan Chun held Jia Lian's arm, helped Jia Lian onto the kang, asked him to sit down, and softly apologized.
"You and Sister Lin have been engaged for half a year. Why did you hide such a big happy event from us?
Just hide it from us. We are also 'outsiders' anyway, so it doesn't matter. But the second sister is your serious sister. You want to marry her a sister-in-law. She should know, right? Otherwise, you won't know the whole family in person.
, if there is a collision, wouldn’t it mean that the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple?”
Because Tanchun said it jokingly and added an accent to the words "outsider", the sisters and the maids nearby couldn't help laughing.
Yingchun glared at her angrily, trying to pull her ears to make her stop talking, but Tanchun easily dodged it.
Jia Lian always liked this group of bright and beautiful sisters with different temperaments and qualities, and he felt happy when he saw them laughing and playing in front of them.
Therefore, Jia Lian understands Jia Baoyu's behavior of living and living in Rouwen Township.
He did not feel dissatisfied with the teasing of Tanchun, his cousin. Instead, he felt that this was a sign of the little girl getting close to him. He could see that although he was usually very kind to the Sanchun sisters, during the holidays or when he returned from an outing, he would
There are often small gifts brought to them.
But whether it is to welcome the spring or to celebrate the spring, while we respect and love him, we are also a little in awe.
Only Tanchun, a little girl, dared to make some light jokes with him occasionally. Jia Lian even knew that as long as he showed slight displeasure about it, Tanchun would not do this again in the future.
"But it's not that I deliberately hid it from you. It's just that Uncle Lin has recently died, and the old lady thinks that your sister Lin is still young, so she is not in a hurry to publicize it in a big way. In two years, your sister Lin will have her filial piety period. By then,
It's not too late to discuss the marriage again.
But you, third girl, since you said you are an 'outsider', why do I see that you are the most talkative here? Your sister Yingchun didn't even say anything herself, but you have finished all your words, and people who don't know have seen you, and you still
I thought you were a relative, but your sister Yingchun was a cousin."
Seeing Jia Lian teasing Tanchun in turn, the smiles on the sisters' faces became even greater, which made Tanchun a little embarrassed.
Just as she was about to speak, Xichun quietly said to Yingchun: "Second sister, if I heard you right, second brother said that third sister talks too much, right? Look, wait a minute, I tell you how annoying her words are, but she still doesn't admit it...
…”
Obviously, the two little sisters have some personal grudges. Although Xichun may not have deliberately added insult to injury, the effect achieved was the best.
Tanchun's face suddenly turned red, and she waited for Xichun with her sister's majestic eyes.
Xichun was young, she liked the gentle Yingchun the most, and was most afraid of the harsh Tanchun. When she saw this, she hurriedly pulled Yingchun's arm to protect her body, but she refused to admit defeat and passed Yingchun's ribs, making a face at Tanchun.
Seeing this, Tanchun couldn't help but laugh.
Jia Lian is a bit older than them and has not been as close to them as Jia Baoyu since he was a child.
Now in the past few years, Jia Lian has made great achievements outside, and even cares about his sisters at home several times more than in previous years.
This made the sisters in the family all want to get close to Jia Lian, but they were also a little timid.
And because of her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, she became sensible early in her childhood and was more self-reliant and self-reliant than others.
She was the first to see that Jia Lian was not a self-respecting person. When facing his family, his personality was still as easy-going as before, so she dared to talk and joke with Jia Lian tentatively.
Now, although Jia Lian pushed her into the car instead, seemingly dissatisfied with her talkativeness, because Jia Lian smiled at her and said it, she could naturally see that Jia Lian had no displeasure at all, and she felt very happy in her heart.
Women in this world all know that a capable brother is a lifelong source of support and confidence for a woman.
Especially after getting married, with such an elder brother from your mother's family around, others will not dare to bully you. Therefore, it is very stupid to keep such an elder brother by your side without knowing how to get close to you.
Tanchun was embarrassed to speak, so he walked to the side to take care of Xichun.
Jia Lian glanced at him and saw that Baochai was still so elegant and quiet, sitting alone and looking at everyone with a smile. Only after meeting his gaze, he looked away with shame.
Then Jia Lianfang looked at Xiangyun, who was wearing a red dress.
In Jia Lian's impression, Xiangyun is the most lively and talkative girl.
In this way, she was sitting quietly aside at this moment. Although her expression was the same, she also seemed a little out of place.
Recalling what Zicuckoo had said before, Jia Lian thought for a while, called Xiang Ling who was standing next to her after serving tea, and gave an instruction.
He was so mysterious that it naturally aroused everyone's doubts, and they were embarrassed to ask questions.
They didn't ask, but Jia Lian stood up on his own initiative and said to Xiangyun: "I was in Sister Lin's room just now. Thank you to Sister Xiangyun for speaking up."
As the elder brother, Jia Lian was so solemn that Xiangyun was a little overwhelmed.
She hurriedly stood up and waved her hands: "No, it's nothing... As long as the second brother doesn't blame me for talking too much like the old ladies and others, and causing today's trouble..."
Xiangyun didn't expect that Jia Lian would make a special trip to thank her for such a trivial matter.
Moreover, Jia Lian's words also suddenly aroused the grievance in her heart, so her face was a little depressed and her tone was a little low, but she couldn't hold back her emotions.
Seeing her look like this, Jia Lian made some guesses and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, but the old lady scolded you?"
Xiangyun turned his head away and said nothing.
If she doesn't say it, someone will say it for her.
"The old lady didn't scold Sister Yun, but her aunt scolded her. Just now in the old lady's room..."
Tanchun stood up at the right time, trying to clarify the situation that Jia Lian didn't know.
Seeing this, Xiangyun quickly shook his head at her and signaled her not to say more. She didn't want to bring her family affairs to the Jia family.
Moreover, although the old lady didn't blame her on her lips, she definitely blamed her in her heart. She was young, but she knew in her heart that every year she came to celebrate the old lady's birthday, the old lady would basically keep her to play for a few days before giving her away.
go back.
But just now in Rongqing Hall, the aunts talked about the arrangement of going back after dinner, but Jia Mu did not make a special trip to stay with her. Compared with her aunts who often scolded her, this was what made her most sad.
Seeing that Xiangyun didn't want to say anything, Jia Lian just smiled softly.
At this time, Xiangling took out the things from the inner room, and Jia Lian said to Xiangyun: "Because of Baoyu's stubbornness, I have caused sister Yun to be wronged. Brother Yu deeply apologizes.
In any case, when we were not here before, Sister Yun was the only one who spoke out and defended you, Sister Lin, and me. This is considered a favor that I owe to my sister.
This is the remaining one when your sister Feng made a new bracelet. If my sister doesn’t dislike it, she can accept it. It can be regarded as a small favor for my brother."
With that said, Jia Lian took the jade box from Xiang Ling and handed it to Xiang Yun.
"This, how can I accept this..."
Xiang Yun immediately refused. Jia Lian had already expected this and gave Qing Wen, who was eating rice next to him, a look. Qing Wen understood and took the initiative to step forward, take out the shining golden bracelet from the box, and forcefully put it on Xiang Yun.
While smiling, she said: "Miss Yun, just keep it. Ask the three girls, the four girls, and even Miss Bao, which one of them has not received a small gift from our second master?
Now, after all, Miss Yun, you are the one who suffers the most, so no matter what, you have to accept this bracelet."
Sanchun and others were a little envious at first, but when they heard Qingwen say this, they were a little embarrassed, so they quickly asked Xiangyun to accept it.
When Xiangyun saw that it was a gold bracelet, he didn't dare to accept it, and he couldn't disobey it. Suddenly he noticed that the bracelet was very big and heavy, so he quickly said: "Let's forget it. The bracelet is too big and I can't wear it. I'll throw it away later."
It would be bad..."
After saying that, he took it off and gave it back to Jia Lian.
Because Xiangyun's words were reasonable, everyone also discovered that the bracelet did not fit her hand. On the contrary, Xiangyun was only eleven years old, and the bracelet Sister Feng made for herself must be too big for her to wear.
Jia Lian, who had expected it, smiled and said: "This is my brother's negligence. I would like to trouble Sister Yun to find a mother she trusts after she goes back and let her take it out and help her melt it and recast it."
After saying this, Jia Lian smiled, turned around and sat back on the kang, not giving Xiang Yun a chance to speak.
In this way, Xiangyun really didn't know how to refuse, so he could only bow to Jia Lian to thank him in the eyes of everyone's encouragement, and then sat down obediently holding the jade box.
After saying a few words, they felt that it was getting late and Jia's mother was going to have another banquet, so Tanchun and others took their leave.
Before leaving, Baochai glanced at Jia Lian with respect in his eyes.
Baochai has been in Jia's house for two years. Because of his good character, he is deeply loved and respected by Xiangyun.
Therefore, Baochai knew a little about Xiangyun's family affairs, and knew that Xiangyun was the daughter of a noble family, but behind the scenes there were many difficulties.
She hadn't realized it just now, but after sitting down and thinking about it, she suddenly realized how properly and carefully Jia Lian had done things in the past. Today, he made a special trip to thank Xiangyun for giving him a gift. How could he have given a gift that was obviously inappropriate due to negligence?
From Xiangyun?
I was afraid that Jia Lian also knew something about the Shi family, so he gave the gold as a gift. He was also afraid that Xiang Yun would not dare to sell or discard it because it was a gift from an elder, so he specially gave him an oversized bracelet.
In this case, Xiangyun is not suitable for wear, so it is logical to sell it. Even if Xiangyun listens to Jia Lian's suggestion and has someone melt it out and recast it, the excess can naturally be used as cash.
Because the bracelet is already thick enough, if you want to shrink it, you can only reduce the amount, otherwise it will be too bulky and not like a bracelet.
Baochai didn't know if she was overthinking it, because if it was really as she thought, then Jia Lian's attentiveness and his way of dealing with people would have really reached a level that even she could not reach.
meaning.
Should such a man really exist in the world? Baochai shook his head and expressed doubt.
As soon as the sisters left, Sister Feng came back.
Just from this small detail, Jia Lian knew Sister Feng's little thoughts, so he hugged her over and sat on his lap, smiling and saying: "Didn't we already agree on the matter of Girl Lin? Why are you jealous again?
"
"Who is not jealous?!"
How could Sister Feng admit it? She even got a little angry and tapped Jia Lian's forehead, scolding: "You have no conscience, if I were jealous, I would have turned the world upside down with you when you insulted Xiao Qin's family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Who would have thought that I thought of you wholeheartedly and even ignored my dignity to help you call Rong’s daughter-in-law, but you didn’t appreciate it at all and said that to me..."
Having said that, Sister Feng felt really aggrieved.
Jia Lian quickly stopped, hugged her and kissed her, making her change from resentment to shyness, then he put his arms around her slender waist, using his palms to warm her whole body, and sighed: "Look at you, what are you talking about?"
Are you about to cry?"
"Who is crying..."
"Of course I remember all the benefits you did to me. To be honest, if it weren't for my lady's magnanimity, how could I, Jia Lian, have such a comfortable life today?
If I had not known that the lady is not a stingy person, how could I have dared to promise my uncle to take care of Sister Lin for the rest of her life, in the hope that Ehuang Nüying would enjoy the blessings of the whole family? All these are dependent on the fulfillment of the lady."
Hearing what Jia Lian said, Sister Feng rolled her eyes and said, "She's so beautiful as you."
Even though she knew that Jia Lian was trying to make her happy, she still liked to hear such words. What else would she do? Men are carefree and the world is like this. She loved Jia Lian so much that she was reluctant to leave, so she could only let Jia Lian handle these matters.
Already.
What she fears most is that Jia Lian is so carefree and yet dismissive of her concessions and tolerance, and even treats her without words. Then she is the ultimate failure.
Fortunately, Jia Lian is not such a person.
Therefore, seeing Jia Lian sincerely coaxing her, the unhappiness in her heart was almost gone.
Unexpectedly, Jia Lian said again: "I still have an idea in mind, let me tell you about it."
"What?"
"Within two years, I will definitely let you give birth to a big fat boy for me. Therefore, I may be cruel to you every night in the future. You should be mentally prepared."
As soon as he said this, let alone Sister Feng, even Qingwen and Xiangling, who were hiding behind the door curtain, looked at each other and couldn't help but widen their eyes, feeling that they had heard something they shouldn't have heard again.
Qingwen burst out laughing, but she was afraid that Sister Feng would hear her, so she quickly covered her mouth.
I don't know what I thought of, but suddenly my smile disappeared, my expression was full of resentment, and I glanced at Xiangling.
If Xiangling realized something, she took a step back with a guilty conscience.
