At dinner that night, Sister Feng said that Daiyu had a cough again and that Jia Mu had hired a doctor for her.
Jia Lian didn't say anything after hearing this. Daiyu was prone to coughing during the spring and autumn equinoxes every year. Jia Lian, who had followed this little girl since childhood, had long understood this pattern.
Perhaps yesterday's day and night of welcoming her back to the province was too tiring for Daiyu, so it was not surprising that she was induced early.
Only after dinner, Jia Lian still went to Daiyu's room to visit.
I happened to find Zijuan feeding Daiyu some decoction. Although Xiaonizi frowned tightly, her complexion was not bad.
"I just heard your sister Feng say that you were sick. I was nervous for a while, but now it seems that you are fine at all."
Jia Lian walked up to Daiyu, took a look at her, then sat down on the low stool next to her, and smiled casually. From his look, it seemed that Daiyu was fine, but he seemed very disappointed.
Zijuan shook her head. She now knew a thing or two about Jia Lian's methods of coaxing Daiyu. Being different was her biggest characteristic, so she could best please her girl.
Daiyu, on the other hand, gave Jia Lian a cold look. She originally thought she was fine, but her throat was a little uncomfortable when she got up early. When Jia Mu and others found out, she took it as a serious matter. Not only did she ask the doctor to take a look at her
, and there were decent people in the house, whether masters or slaves, who came to care about her.
Dealing with people one after another is what really makes her feel tired.
After finally waiting for Jia Lian to come over, she had already thought about how to respond to Jia Lian's concern. Who knew that he would actually say this when he opened his mouth?
Still nervous for a little while? He is clearly not nervous at all!
Daiyu deliberately thought about it angrily, but she was happy again. What he said was in line with his temperament. Like himself, he also didn't like false politeness. If something really happened to him, he would definitely
I'm probably more nervous than anyone else.
But I still have to pretend to be unhappy.
Jia Lian seemed to not see her dissatisfaction. He turned his eyes and leaned over to put his hand directly into her quilt.
"What to do?" Daiyu suddenly became alert, but found that Jia Lian just took out her hand, rolled up his sleeves and looked at it.
"I heard that the imperial concubine gave you an excellent jade bracelet yesterday. Where is it?"
Taking this opportunity, Jia Lian took a look at Daiyu's small wrists and arms. They were indeed white, tender and slender, as if they could be bent with a flick of a finger.
Realizing that Jia Lian was not trying to do harm to her, Dai Yuhai breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Since it is a precious thing, of course it should be left alone. How can it be worn on her hand all the time."
As he said this, he realized that Jia Lian's eyes were impure, so he quietly took his little hand away and hid it back under the quilt.
"Oh, it's rare to hear you say the word expensive. In that case, why don't you show it to me?" Jia Lian said with a smile.
Daiyu was a little embarrassed, "Sister Feng also got one. If you want to see it, why don't you let her show it to you?"
Jia Lian was just looking for a topic to chat with, and he didn't want to take a look. Seeing Daiyu's shyness, he smiled more and more: "Sure enough, your concubine's character is precious. I have never seen you so rare for anything I give you. Why did she give it to you?"
Do you cherish your things like this and hide them away from others?"
When Daiyu heard this, she frowned, wondering when did she not care about the things he gave her? And when did she hide them so that no one would see them?
It's just that the jade bracelet given by Yuanchun had a special meaning and she was embarrassed to take it out.
Could it be that Jia Lian didn't even understand this? He must have deliberately tried to push people away, so he glared at him dissatisfied, "I don't know if you are seriously here to see me, or if you are here to cause trouble. If you are here specifically to cause trouble,
Then please go back, I am going to bed and have no time to argue with you."
"Hahaha."
"I'm not trying to cause trouble, I'm obviously just jealous. Our royal concubine only comes home every ten years, but who would have thought that you would be treated differently, and even precious jade would be outshined by you."
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it, it's rare for the empress to go home, so all the rewards are prepared in advance and distributed according to distance.
Almost all of us only got one share. It's not like you, who got three share. You know that Sister Lin is beautiful and lovable, even the imperial concubine who met her for the first time is like this. She really makes others envious."
Daiyu's face turned red, she understood what Jia Lian meant.
Last night Yuanchun met her for the first time in Rongqing Hall, and he gave her a string of fragrant beads as a face gift. At the end of the wedding ceremony, like the Sanchun sisters, she also got a book and a simple set of pens and inkstones.
As a gift.
Finally, Yuanchun gave her and Sister Feng a bracelet each. Calculated in this way, she indeed received three gifts from Yuanchun, the best among all the Jia family.
However, as long as she is not an idiot, she should know that most of Yuanchun's unique care for her must have come from Jia Lian!
Although she was not very clear about why the aloof Yuan Chun cared so much about Jia Lian and even showed so much love to her, she understood the relationship.
Of course, she also felt that her appearance must be an important reason why Yuanchun treated her differently...
Thinking like this in her heart, Daiyu said: "It's nonsense again. Whoever said that you gave many gifts means that the empress is most... what she cares about most is Baoyu. It's not like you haven't seen the way the empress looks at Baoyu.
, just like my aunt treats Baoyu!"
Daiyu said, feeling really envious in her heart.
She had no brothers or sisters. Unlike Jia Baoyu, not only did she have all her brothers and sisters, but even her eldest sister, who had lived in the secluded palace for many years, cared about him and loved him like a mother.
Baoyu is the enviable person who is loved by thousands of people.
As soon as Jia Lian saw Daiyu's appearance, he knew what she was thinking, so he deliberately laughed at her: "No, you are even jealous? Baoyu is her younger brother, so it is normal for her to care and love her a little."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Daiyu was annoyed, "Go away! Who is jealous? They just think that Baoyu has parents and a sister to care about, unlike me, who has neither parents nor
I have no brothers or sisters, so I can only let you bully me, so you can leave."
Daiyu angrily wrapped herself in the quilt and rolled it up, obviously not wanting to talk to Jia Lian anymore.
Seeing that she was really annoyed, Jia Lian bullied her and coaxed her again. But Daiyu was not easy to coax, she would shake her away even if she touched her, so Jia Lian smiled in her ear and said: "Since you envy Baoyu, he has brothers and sisters.
, I have a way to get you back in the game."
Daiyu ignored it.
"Sister, I can't change you anymore. If you don't dislike me, just treat me as your brother from now on.
Really, as long as you are willing to call me 'brother', or 'brother' or 'good brother', I will love you as if you were my own sister. Do you agree?"
When Jia Lian's voice became more and more inappropriate, Daiyu raised her hands to cover her ears, but it didn't work. She still heard every word clearly.
She sat up in shame and annoyance, staring at Jia Lian speechless.
What kind of "brother" or "good brother"? Just fantasizing about calling Jia Lian that way would make her heart beat violently in shame!
Jia Lian, however, did not understand Daiyu's shyness and continued to confuse him: "Think about it, as long as you change the name you use to me, not only can you eliminate a person who always bullies you, but you can also get someone to love you immediately.
, my good brother who loves and cares for you, this deal is a good deal no matter how you calculate it. You are so smart, how can you not even figure out this abacus? "
Daiyu once thought that she had enough understanding of Jia Lian's thick skin, but she still didn't expect that Jia Lian could say such things.
"You still say that! You are such a talkative and bad guy, I will beat you to death..."
Daiyu was almost out of temper, she no longer showed any concern for her ladylike image, and punched and kicked Jia Lian.
Fortunately, she was weak and wrapped in a quilt, so she posed no threat to Jia Lian. Instead, she made Jia Lian laugh even more.
"Zijuan! Zijuan, come in quickly..."
Daiyu couldn't stand it anymore, so she summoned her generals, and together they beat Jia Lian out. "Second Master, what did you say again? Look how embarrassed our girl is..."
Zijuan held back her smile and led Jia Lian out of the room, but finally couldn't help but ask.
She had never seen Daiyu look so helpless, she almost jumped off the kang and started a fight with Jia Lian. That lively look was nothing like the sick and sick look she had before.
Daiyu dared to look coldly at her and use fists and kicks, but a maid dared to laugh at her? Jia Lian straightened his posture and squinted at a certain maid.
Zijuan's heart thumped, and she quickly lowered her head and began to regret her provocation.
But it was too late, her body was spinning for a while that was both unfamiliar and familiar. When she came back to her senses, her mouth had been sealed, and she herself, just as she had imagined, fell into someone's arms.
As before, she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being noticed by the people inside.
"ah……"
A crisp exclamation suddenly sounded in her ears, waking Zijuan up.
She pushed Jia Lian away and looked up, and saw that it was Xue Yan. She breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time became nervous.
It is true that being seen by Xue Yan is much better than being seen by other unrelated people, but her behavior is too outrageous. After all, Daiyu herself is not married yet. She, a maid, kisses me with my uncle, and she can spread the word.
I apologized with death.
Jia Lian saw her worry, so after being surprised, he hurriedly lowered his head. When Xue Yan passed by with a tea tray and was about to go into the house, he stretched out his hand to hook her neck and let her come closer.
"Second, second master..."
Xue Yan was extremely nervous. Was she going to be "silenced"?
"Don't be afraid."
Jia Lian was a little funny when he saw Xue Yan stuttering.
Daiyu's two maids are both quite good, one is intellectual and wise, the other is cute and naive, and both are above seven or eight in color.
A gentle smile dispelled Xue Yan's worries and fears, then she bent down, kissed her gently on the forehead, and left.
Although Zijuan felt that Jia Lian's handling method was too simple and direct, it was still effective. So looking at Xue Yan who was standing there with a blushing face, she walked over and said softly: "Silly girl, the second master is just casual.
Don’t take it too seriously. It’s just that the girl is worried, so don’t talk to her about this kind of thing. If the girl asks, just say that you accidentally bumped into me just now, and go in.”
"oh……"
Xueyan always felt that Zijuan was smart and understood Daiyu's thoughts, so he listened to her in everything. After hearing this, he quickly raised his arm to wipe his forehead and went into the house.
…
After staying in the study room of Dongkuaoyuan for an hour and practicing at night for another hour, it was already late at night.
It's not that Jia Lian likes to practice at night with a lantern hanging high, it's just that he usually doesn't have time during the day, and he happens to have plenty of time at night, and he doesn't like to stay up late to read at night, so he practices at night, and when he's tired, he goes back and lets the pretty maid take care of him and take a bath, which is just right.
Sleep until early the next morning.
Over time, I got used to it.
I don't know if it was because of the beautiful moonlight tonight, but Jia Lian didn't take the main road, but went back through the path.
When passing by Li Wan's side courtyard, I subconsciously looked in and saw Li Wan sitting alone on the platform.
The cold and cold figure looked even more lonely under the moonlight.
Jia Lian couldn't help but stop and stand where he was.
