Because it was late at night, Sanchun and others did not stay in Rongqing Hall for long. Soon after Jia Lian left, he followed Li Wan out.
Perhaps because tonight's "big event" was a shock to them, they were a little excited and had no intention of going back to their rooms to rest as soon as possible. Tanchun suggested that they go to "Sister Feng's Courtyard" to have a look at "Sister Feng".
The other sisters agreed and echoed.
"You go ahead, I won't go."
Daiyu glanced at them, Leng Qiuqiu said a word and prepared to turn back.
Tanchun quickly grabbed her and said with a smile: "No, Sister Lin, let's go together, okay..."
It was late at night, and it was inconvenient to disturb my brother-in-law's courtyard. It was easier to get there because of the crowds. As soon as Daiyu left, Jia Baoyu was embarrassed, and he must have left too, this one too, and that one too, when the time came.
Can't go.
Daiyu didn't know Tanchun's considerations, so she didn't comply. It wasn't that she didn't dare to go to Jialian Courtyard, it was just that she didn't like to go with Tanchun and others, because these people always liked to tease her, which annoyed her.
In addition, Jia Baoyu's presence is also a reason.
Seeing that Daiyu insisted not to go with them, Jia Baoyu next to him had a dark expression. In his eyes, Daiyu's refusal to go with them was naturally entirely because of his last offense.
He wanted to say goodbye, so that Daiyu could be with Tanchun and the others with peace of mind. But he was very unwilling to say it. From now on, he and Sister Lin really have to be distinct. Where he is, there can't be any.
Daiyu, and where there is Daiyu, he cannot be there?
With a look on his face, Jia Baoyu suddenly took a step forward and said seriously: "Sister Lin, are you going to keep avoiding me like this?"
Jia Baoyu suddenly spoke out, with a loud voice and a heavy face. Everyone present was startled and looked at him.
Tanchun also subconsciously let go of Daiyu.
Daiyu, who was about to be entangled by Tanchun and others, could not refuse. Her face darkened, she looked up at Jia Baoyu and said coldly: "Why should I avoid you? Wherever you go, others have to go."
, If you don’t go, do you mean to avoid you on purpose?”
Seeing these two people quarreling with each other again, Li Wan felt a headache, so he wanted to smooth things over with a smile and separate the two.
But I saw that Jia Baoyu today was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. Not only was he not angry when Daiyu retorted, but his heavy face became lighter, and he said seriously: "Oh, since Sister Lin is not avoiding me, why don't you talk to me?"
Shall we go to see Sister Feng together?"
"I'm tired, why don't I want to go?"
Daiyu was mentally prepared to argue with the unreasonable Jia Baoyu. Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu not only did not speak rudely again, but instead spoke so calmly that he also turned down the fighting mode by half.
Jia Baoyu looked at Daiyu with burning eyes and said warmly: "I know that what happened last time was my fault and I offended the girl with my words. However, if the girl is a thoughtful person, she should also understand that I..."
Jia Baoyu said, laughing at herself, because she was afraid that Daiyu would not give her a chance to speak again, so she immediately continued: "Now that I know that the girl already has her own heart, I will naturally not offend her in the slightest. From now on, I
Just like the third sister and the others, I wholeheartedly wish you and the second brother Lian...
However, no matter what, you and I should not have been separated like this. My father and your mother are biological brothers and sisters. We are not as close as real brothers and sisters, at least we should not be separated from each other.
Yes. If it is because of me that the girl is worried, I am here to apologize to you, and I will kneel down to you..."
When Jia Baoyu mentioned something touching, he actually lifted up his robe, as if he really wanted to kneel down and admit his mistake to Daiyu. This made Li Wan and others feel touched and amused at the same time, and they quickly stopped him.
Tanchun was very relieved and felt that Jia Baoyu's attitude was very rare. In the future, everyone will live in the garden. If Daiyu and Jia Baoyu always have such resentment, not only they themselves will feel uncomfortable, but others will also suffer.
Influenced.
That's good. As long as these two people talk to each other, it will be easier for everyone to get along.
As a cousin, Jia Baoyu's attitude of admitting his mistake showed his sincerity, but it made Daiyu very uncomfortable.
Her little face turned red immediately, partly because of Jia Baoyu's words, but more importantly, in front of Li Wan and others, she couldn't help it. Seeing Jia Baoyu kneeling down for her, this was obviously a mockery.
The pressure sent people, so he took a step away, glared at Jia Baoyu and said: "Who is separated from you, who wants you, and wants you to apologize to me. You clearly think that I am living too peacefully. After a few days,
I must find something to do to make the old lady and aunts hate me..."
】
Thinking of the grievances Jia Baoyu had suffered over the years, Daiyu's face suddenly shrank, and in the blink of an eye she was on the verge of tears.
Jia Baoyu said quickly: "If my sister doesn't want to be separated from me, then go to Sister Feng's courtyard with us. Only in this way can we prove our sincerity."
"Just go."
Daiyu didn't want to make such a fuss with Jia Baoyu in front of everyone anymore, so she turned around to go back. She would have fallen into Jia Baoyu's verbal trap, which made her feel guilty, so she lifted her legs and walked directly to Sister Feng's nursery.
Seeing that Daiyu was really aroused by Jia Baoyu's words and took the initiative to go over, Tanchun and Xichun quickly stepped forward and held Jia Baoyu's arm, looking very satisfied and happy.
Even Li Wan came over, looked at Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "Baoyu has finally grown up and is more sensible than before. He knows how to let his sister go."
In terms of age, Jia Baoyu is not much older than Jia Lan, so he takes care of Li Wan, the younger ones in the family. As far as Jia Baoyu is concerned, she is called the eldest sister-in-law, but in fact she is not much different from her elders.
Being able to get praise from Li Wan and others made Jia Baoyu, who had the courage to put down his face and speak clearly to Daiyu, finally feel that it was worth it, so a smile appeared on his face.
…
Jia Lian stayed outside for a while. When he returned home, he heard the singing of orioles in the house and knew that Sanchun and others had arrived, so he straightened his clothes and stepped in.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as he entered the door, it was true that Sanchun had arrived and Daiyu was also there. However, Jia Lian was still a little surprised when he saw that even Jia Baoyu was there.
"Brother Lian is back..."
The sweet voices, coupled with the superb looks of the sisters, made Jia Lian involuntarily happy, and she greeted them with a smile.
Sister Feng also stood up: "Okay, I have known for a long time that you are not looking at me. Now that the real owner is back, you can ask him personally what you said. I will go see the little eldest sister."
After saying that, Sister Feng gave Jia Lian a look that seemed both complimentary and affectionate, and then she drifted away.
Jia Lian guessed that Sister Feng was moved by his heroic appearance and domineering tonight, so she admired him even more. So she smiled and sat directly at the head of the kang. She asked Yingchun and others to sit down, and then said with a smile: "
Why did you think of coming to me tonight?"
Tanchun said: "We came here with Sister Lin."
Daiyu: “??”
I have known for a long time that this is a stinky sister. I will never believe her words or pay attention to her again.
Because Tanchun was gouged out several times, it was difficult for her to explain at this time. The more she explained, the more passive she became. Daiyu, who had suffered a lot, knew that pretending not to hear at this time was the wisest choice.
As expected, Daiyu didn't answer, and Tanchun couldn't continue to sing on the stage. However, Yingchun saw Daiyu's eyes brimming with anger, and smiled and said, "Something big happened in the house today. We are all very curious. We were just in the old lady's house."
, I didn’t dare to ask any more questions, so I thought of coming to my brother’s place to sit together, as I was afraid of disturbing my brother’s rest.”
Jia Lian, who was laughing at Tanchun's words, shook his head when he heard this and said, "Why bother? You can come and sit here. It's not too late for me to be happy."
While speaking, Jia Lian turned his head and looked at Jia Baoyu who was standing aside, "Really, Brother Bao, let's see how many days it has been since you came to my place. You used to like to come here."
Jia Baoyu immediately felt embarrassed when he heard this, his fair face turned red, and he said quietly: "It didn't take long...it's mainly because I know that Brother Lian is always busy and it's not easy to disturb him..."
Jia Baoyu really liked to go to this courtyard when he was little, because Sister Feng and Heping'er were very kind and caring to him, and they both had stunning looks, so he naturally liked them.
Probably after the incident at Shuiyue An, he didn't like coming here very much. After all, it was Jia Lian and Sister Feng who arrested him and Qin Zhong Zhi'er in the first place, even though his brother and sister-in-law protected him and favored him.
, but he also has self-esteem, so naturally he feels a little shameless to face it.
Of course, the most important thing is Qingwen's little hooves. Every time he comes over, she frowns at him, with impatience written on her face. Jia Baoyu himself doesn't know when he offended this aunt so deeply.
.
In the end, it was naturally because of Daiyu. It didn’t start when he found out about Daiyu’s engagement, but when he discovered that Daiyu was alienated from him and angry at him, but she was very close to Jia Lian.
Jia Lian didn't take Jia Baoyu's evasive words seriously, and turned around to continue talking to Yingchun: "Did you discuss it, or did you come together by chance? Tell me, what are your curiosity? I think, most of the curiosity is fake.
I'm afraid that like others, when the house was short of money, I heard that I seized a lot of dirty silver from Lai's house, so I wanted to instruct me to operate in secret and give you some money to buy rouge."
"Oh, look at the second brother, he actually speculated on us like this and looked down upon us."
"That's right, we are not short of money..."
Tanchun and Xichun, one pretended to be angry, the other subconsciously argued.
Daiyu looked on with cold eyes: Humph, indeed he knows how to make people happy. This is probably how he makes Sister Feng and the others happy, not just me.
Yingchun smiled and responded to Jia Lian's first words: "We came here together after we came out of the old lady's house. Originally, the elder sister-in-law was also with us, but when we came to the hospital, she said to go back and see Lan
Boy, just go back first."
Look at Lan Boy? Jia Lian shook his head, not knowing whether he was regretful or proud, and smiled without saying a word.
He also caught a glimpse of Daiyu Leng Qiuqiu's gaze, but didn't care. He could see people's hearts again, and he wouldn't realize that his words to make his sisters happy could make Daiyu jealous!
Tanchun still didn't listen to Jia Lian's words and asked, "Second brother Lian said that we are just like everyone else. Does that mean that someone has already wanted you to give him money?"
Jia Lian smiled and said nothing. It is true that when he came back from Dongkua Yard and stopped by Mrs. Xing's yard to see Mrs. Xing and Jia Cong, Mrs.
There is plenty of room for maneuver...
He even directly hinted to him that if he was afraid of being suspected, he might as well store the things in her courtyard. In the end, Jia Lian just asked her if she was missing something, and agreed to give her fifty taels of silver.
Tanchun and others had some speculations, but they didn't ask further questions and asked about the Lai family.
Sanchun and others were originally curious. Because the Lai family has always existed in the house since they were born, they were no strangers to the Lai family, Aunt Lai and others. Now they were naturally concerned about how Jia Lian would deal with these people.
Jia Lian was also patient and told them almost everything. Of course, some of the profound meanings did not need to be explained in detail to the simple sisters.
Yingchun sighed: "Brother drove the Lai family to the north to guard Zhuangzi. I heard that it is extremely cold there and winter is about to come..."
Although Yingchun didn’t explain it clearly, everyone knew that Yingchun felt pity for the Lai family. After all, Lai Da and Lai were considered old in this world, and they had received fifty or sixty canes each. Not to mention, Grandma Lai
Like Jia Mu, she is over seventy years old. When her son and daughter-in-law leave, will she follow him or not?
Tanchun was afraid that Yingchun would say pitiful words about the Lai family again and make Jia Lian unhappy, so he interrupted: "I think the second brother handled it well, and the Lai family is to blame. Who told them to be greedy? They have embezzled so much. It is said that
It’s appalling to go out.”
Jia Lian knew that Yingchun could not bear to see others suffer, so he smiled and comforted him by saying that he had sent someone to escort Lai Da and others to the north and that nothing would happen. Yingchun then turned from worry to joy.
When Tanchun saw this, he couldn't help but feel envious of Yingchun. She had a brother who loved her so much and coaxed her. Unlike himself, he only had an unlucky brother who was messy all day long. With this look, not to mention relying on him in the future, that boy would not
If you cause trouble for yourself, everything will be fine for you.
Simply speaking, although Jia Lian was not her biological brother, he was still a cousin, so he threw away his worries, remembered a topic and continued to talk to Jia Lian: "Lai Da deserves it. I just heard that Brother Bao said that he has a son who has passed the examination as a scholar.
He heard that he would have to take part in the next provincial examination to take the examination, and he didn't know if tonight's incident would affect him.
If he really can pass the exam, he will be a proud ancestor, and even our family will be honored."
Tanchun said with a smile, from a family like the Jia family, it is naturally a great honor for someone who was born as a servant to pass the examination.
After all, the contemporary imperial examination is too difficult. Even a simple scholar has to go through the county examination and the government examination to obtain qualifications. Finally, he takes the college examination and obtains the "student member" from the hands of a provincial academic officer.
"Qualification, also known as scholar.
It is so difficult to become a scholar, let alone pass the provincial examination. Just look at the twenty-fourth house of the Jia family, there are so many children, over a hundred years, only two or three people will succeed in the examination.
Therefore, if one of the slaves really emerges from the seedlings, it will naturally be big news and worthy of bragging: In our Jia family, every slave released from the house will succeed in his career, which shows that he is a family of poets and writers!
The idea of Tanchun cannot be miscalculated. If Jia Lian had not known what happened, he would have been willing to cultivate such a seedling.
But it's a pity that he knew that he was a disloyal and unscrupulous person. He didn't want Tanchun and others to still have a good impression of him, so he looked at Tanchun and said: "For the Lai family, it is a glorious ancestor, but I am afraid that for me, the Jia family
He said that he might not be able to take advantage of this."
Jia Lian's obviously subjective words surprised everyone. Tan Chun said blankly: "What does second brother Lian mean by this? Could it be this person...?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "Scholars, especially those who are successful in reading, are not arrogant people.
It's okay if he doesn't become famous. He needs to rely on the power of my Jia family. Once he becomes famous and has full wings, I'm afraid that my Jia family will only be humiliating to him. After all, in the world, except for saints,
, who is qualified to be the master of scholars?"
Tanchun and others didn't understand Jia Lian's previous words, but she understood the last sentence and fell silent for a while.
Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "Second brother Lian is probably too worried. Brother Lai is not such a person. He is a very good person..."
Except when Lai Shangrong was studying abroad, whenever he returned to Beijing, he would naturally not forget to establish good relationships with several important figures in the Jia family. He was not stupid, so he naturally understood that even if he was successful and wanted to become an official, he would not forget to enter the official career.
We also need support from the Jia family.
It is not easy for him to get in touch with Jia She, Jia Zheng and others, but with his intelligence, it is not easy to win over this little kid Jia Baoyu.
Faced with Jia Baoyu's different opinions, Jia Lian was not anxious at all. He just looked at him quietly and asked: "Oh, if you were Lai Shangrong, when you were studying, your classmates asked you where you lived and who your parents were. How would you answer?
When you are in high school and are proud of your success, the teacher who is a high-ranking official in the government asks you again, how do you answer? Finally, when you are an official, your colleagues continue to ask you, how are you doing?"
Jia Baoyu squirmed, speechless. He was noble, not stupid, so he naturally understood what Jia Lian meant.
Don't think too carefully about how Lai Shangrong would answer at that time. He must have felt at that time that even if his parents were born in a farmhouse, they would be more dignified than the powerful and wealthy servants of the Duke of Guo.
"So, it's not that Lai Shangrong is not good. It's just that our Jia family is not good for him. Not only is it not good, but it is also an indelible shame in his official resume. Every time he thinks about it, it may make him anxious and unwilling to eat.
"
Jia Lian's words were so calm and emotionless, but it was impossible to refute. Even the youngest Xichun began to think deeply, feeling that the world of adults is really complicated. In the past, everyone talked about this person with the surname Lai.
Everyone appreciates it, saying that the Lai family has a Qilin...
Daiyu, who originally didn't care about this matter at all, turned her eyes sideways and looked at Jia Lian blankly.
Brother Lian is really very sensible. Could it be that he can penetrate people's hearts? However, it is possible that this matter cannot be resolved, but it may not be possible! As long as a person is loyal and broad-minded, he can naturally accept a humble background. He said this,
I'm afraid he is certain that the scholar named Lai, like his parents, is disloyal.
Daiyu had something in her mind, but she just didn't say it.
