Daiyu frowned slightly. She was very smart and noticed that Jia Lian was not telling the truth, but she did not hold on to him. She just sat there and stopped talking. She looked gloomy and didn't know what she was thinking.
Jia Lian sat down next to her and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say you were opening a poetry club today? How's it going?"
"What can I do? You're not here, and Sister Zhen isn't here either. It's just a few of us, but we just respond casually."
Daiyu also lied. In fact, they had a lot of fun in the afternoon. After all, it was the first club in Kaishan, and everyone was in a high mood. If not for the fact that Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others returned home in emotions later, it had an impact on them invisibly.
, I’m afraid their good mood of opening a club to recite poetry will continue to this day.
Jia Lian smiled, "Then who won the first prize? I guess it's Sister Lin."
Daiyu's nose twitched. Although she didn't speak, the slightly arrogant and natural look on her face was so obvious.
Jia Lian was surprised at this: "You really won the first place? What was the topic you worked on? I wonder if I would be lucky enough to listen to Sister Lin's masterpiece?"
Daiyu was dissatisfied with Jia Lian's surprise, as if she, Lin Daiyu, was the most rare! I don't know who borrowed other people's poems in front of the empress to cope with the empress' exam.
"Yesterday you gave us so many begonia flowers, so we all chose begonia as the title. As for the Tanchun sister we wrote, we are all responsible for copying it. If you want to read it, just ask her to read it for you tomorrow. I can remember it.
Can’t stand it any longer.”
Jia Lian smiled and looked at Daiyu who hung the birdcage on the window step. He knew that Daiyu was quite arrogant.
That is to say, she knows that she is excellent, but she won't say it herself, and she doesn't even bother to show it. But if you can take the initiative to discover it and praise her, she will be very happy and treat you as a close friend.
For example, when she returned to the province in Yuanchun last time, she found that Jia Lian had "quoted" her poems. Instead of being angry at all, she was secretly happy. She felt that Jia Lian could think of her poems in that situation, so he naturally recognized her very much.
Moreover, he used his poems so carelessly, obviously because he felt that he was close enough to him and was sure that he would not expose him. This is another meaning.
At this time, Daiyu was obviously very confident about her winning poem, but she was not willing to tell Jia Lian directly. Instead, she asked Jia Lian to go to Tan Chun and ask for the manuscript, so that Jia Lian could finally see her masterpiece.
I am even more impressed by her love and talent.
However, Jia Lian did not need to go to Tanchun to ask for the manuscript, and he probably knew about Daiyu's masterpiece.
It was also because of this that he was surprised that Dai Yu won the first prize. Because if he remembered correctly, in the original novel, the girls in the Grand View Garden gathered for a poetry party, and Baochai won the first prize in the first club to chant Haitang.
Because the president Li Wan felt that Baochai's Begonia poems were more dignified, more subtle and powerful, and were superior in character to the romantic and chic Begonias written by Daiyu, so he judged Baochai first and Daiyu second.
Unexpectedly, after he intentionally gave begonia flowers to the girls in the Grand View Garden and asked them to chant begonia flowers, Daiyu would take first place.
Could it be that he forcibly twisted it, causing them to write about Begonia, but it was different from the original? When I had time, I wanted to take their manuscripts and take a look.
In fact, there is a detail hidden here that Jia Lian ignored.
After all, Daiyu in this life is different from the original one. Not to mention her relationship with him, Daiyu herself has a noble and rare nobleness, which has long made her different from other daughters in the Grand View Garden.
Therefore, although Miharu, Daiyu and others still refer to each other as sisters, in fact, due to this closeness, they have a higher level of respect for Daiyu.
Even sister-in-law Li Wan is no exception.
In the original work, Daiyu is just a sister-in-law who is loved by Jia's mother. Li Wan usually cherishes her a little, but he will not shrink from her changing his principles and actions. Therefore, when faced with Baochai and Daiyu's work between brothers,
, Li Wan could praise Baochai's more upright and elegant poems without any worries.
But it can’t be done in this life. Anyway, Dai Shi is superior to everyone in terms of chicness and dexterity of mind. Therefore, for the sake of Daiyu as the master, Li Wan and others naturally recommended Dai Shi to be the first.
.
This is actually consistent with the aura carried by Jia Lian himself. Even someone as noble as Yuanchun had the same attitude when reviewing Jia Lian's poem manuscript that night.
It is conceivable that even if Jia Lian did not borrow Dai Yu's masterpiece that night, Yuanchun would still rank Jia Lian's poem that she felt was "not amazing enough" in her heart as the top one, or even the first one.
This is the combination of celebrity effect and noble effect.
Unless someone can come up with a significantly better masterpiece to prevent the judges from being biased, in future poetry society competitions, Jia Lian and Daiyu will obviously have an inherent advantage.
Daiyu hung up the birdcage and went to hug the "big rat" on the ground. Suddenly she felt her little hand tighten and Jia Lian had already pulled her to sit next to her.
Her little face turned red, she quickly glanced out the window, and then asked Jia Lian shyly what he wanted.
"Since you started a society to compose poems, I'm afraid you also have a name for it. What is Sister Lin's name?"
Daiyu, who was nervously thinking that Jia Lian was going to do something inappropriate to her again, was stunned when she heard this and lowered her head without looking back.
Zicuckoo happened to come into the room at this time and interrupted with a smile: "Our girl's name is 'Concubine Xiaoxiang'. It was the nickname given to our girl by the third girl."
"I want you to talk more."
Daiyu was very shy because of Jia Lian. Being so close to Jia Lian and his strong masculine aura made her little heart flutter.
There is also a reason for her "elegant nickname".
It turns out that when everyone was discussing the nickname this afternoon, Tan Chun said that on that day Emperor E and Nv Ying shed tears and stained the bamboo, so the mottled bamboo is also called the Xiangfei bamboo. It just so happened that Jia Lian was a general, and there would be an expedition in the future, and Daiyu
Living in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she loves to cry. If she misses Jia Lian, the bamboos in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion will naturally turn into mottled bamboos, so she is given the title: Concubine Xiaoxiang.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although she was extremely embarrassed, Tanchun's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.
"Concubine Xiaoxiang? This is an elegant nickname. It shows that the third sister is very good at picking nicknames for others."
When Jia Lian heard that Daiyu was indeed given the title of Concubine Xiaoxiang, he thought that "Daoxiang Lao Nong", "Hengwu Jun", "Jiao Xia Ke", etc. were probably all available, which made Jia Lian feel very cordial. Thinking about it
Why don't you take the time to enter a club before leaving and feel the yearning atmosphere that you could only guess in books in your previous life?
Daiyu was ashamed to talk about the account number, and it was hard to argue with Jia Lian's words. Because aside from Tanchun making fun of her, she herself felt that the account number was very good, better than others, otherwise, she would not
By default.
He secretly twitched his hands under the table. Seeing that Jia Lian still refused to let go, he could only give up and changed the subject: "When we were composing poems today, everyone missed a key person."
Jia Lian heard the sound and laughed: "Is it Xiangyun?"
Daiyu looked at Jia Lian in surprise, admiring Jia Lian's quick response. She nodded and said, "That's right. Everyone said, how could you forget about her if you don't do it well?"
"Why are you talking about her all of a sudden? Don't you dislike her the most? You have to quarrel with her every time she comes."
"Who quarrels with her every time..."
Daiyu retorted angrily. In fact, out of three times, there is at most one time...
Thinking back to this, Daiyu reflected on herself. In fact, she didn't want to see Xiangyun anymore. It was just that the little girl was outspoken and talked a lot. She also liked to stick to her and live with her every time she came over. Therefore,
It often made her unhappy, and both of them were a bit stubborn, so it was common for them to quarrel.
In fact, she didn't take the "conflict" with Xiangyun to heart, because many times, when she thought about it afterwards, she felt that it was her own fault, or it was just a trivial matter. She didn't expect that she would actually think so in the eyes of others.
The most understanding brother Lian is like this.
I will never quarrel with her again.
Without intending to use words to change the views of Jia Lian and others, Daiyu deliberately said: "Although I quarreled with her, to be fair, that girl is not inferior to others in terms of writing poems and sentences. She is also on good terms with us... and San Yatou and the others.
, Now we are setting up a poetry club in the garden, if we don’t invite her, she will definitely refuse to comply if she finds out later.”
"What you said makes sense, then why don't you just ask the old lady to send someone to pick her up? I think with her joining, you will definitely not be deserted when you open a poetry club in the future."
Daiyu said: "Originally this was not difficult, but when the old lady and the others came back in the afternoon, they seemed to be in a bad mood, so we didn't dare to disturb them."
"That's up to you."
Daiyu looked up at Jia Lian and suddenly said angrily: "You said you would bring Sister Zhen back this morning, but now she hasn't come!"
Daiyu saw that Jia Lian clearly understood what she meant, but pretended not to understand.
"Hahaha, I understand. What Sister Lin means is that I have lost your good sister who is exactly the same, and you want me to pick up Sister Xiangyun in order to atone for my sins?"
Daiyu snorted and nodded in response to Jia Lian's smile. Then she couldn't hold back her smile and hurriedly stopped it.
"It's no problem to take Sister Xiangyun over, but I found a problem. I said to Lin Daiyu, why do you feel that I, a majestic prince, am being bossed around by a little girl like you? This makes me lose face.
"
Jia Lian's sudden words made Daiyu confused, and then she said angrily: "If you don't want to, forget it. I'm not forcing you."
With that said, Daiyu waved her little hand and was about to stand up and walk away.
Jia Lian smiled and took advantage of Daiyu's movement to hug her in his arms. He lowered his head and said close to her, "Look at how anxious you are. When did I say no? It's great to be able to serve the great Lord Lin Xiang."
It’s my honor.”
…
After coming out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jia Lian saw that it was still early and went to where Yingchun lived.
Taking Xiang Ling into the territory of Ziling Continent, Jia Lian felt that everything here was strange, and he realized in his heart that he had lost some care for his girl for a long time.
When the maids of Zilingzhou discovered Jia Lian's arrival, they were very happy and rushed to inform Yingchun one by one.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"My little sister has met my second brother."
In front of the main house, Jia Lian raised his eyes and saw Tan Chun and said with a smile, "The third sister is here too."
Tanchun said: "It's early today, so I came here to play two games of chess with my second sister. Second brother Lian came here specifically to see my second sister, right? In that case, I won't bother you much and leave first."
Tanchun was tall and tall, with handsome eyes and slender eyebrows. Not only did he look smart and smart in appearance, but he also had a smart demeanor in his behavior. After smiling and saying goodbye to Jia Lian, he left with his maids.
Yingchun welcomed Jia Lian into the house, served Jia Lian a cup of tea with his own hands, and then asked politely: "Why does my brother have time to come to my place so late?"
"It's rare that I have free time today, so I came here to see you."
Jia Lian said, caring about Yingchun for a few words, and then glanced at Yingchun's house and said: "Do you usually lack anything useful in this house? If there is anything, just tell me and I will have someone bring it to you.
"
Yingchun sat opposite Jia Lian and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, brother, but I don't lack anything in this house. Usually Lian's second sister-in-law takes care of me. Even if there is something missing, she would have already ordered it to be delivered.
of."
Jia Lian nodded. Sister Feng was the most considerate in both big and small matters, so naturally she would not treat Yingchun harshly.
But I'm afraid that's all. Yingchun is much closer to him now, calling him "brother", but she still treats Sister Feng by her full name just like everyone else. This shows that the relationship between her aunt and sister-in-law is
The relationship can only be maintained at the level of mutual respect.
Jia Lian still had a very clear understanding of this point. Sister Feng was mostly an egoist, and it was difficult to pay much attention to Yingchun, a sister-in-law whose uncle did not care for her and who did not love her grandma.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking of the original work, Yingchun was so gentle and kind that even the people who served in her house dared to bully and despise her, so Jia Lian ordered Yingchun to be killed.
The maids and servants serving in the courtyard called over.
"Slaves, please pay your respects to the second master..."
Jia Lian sat at the table and looked at the maids and servants kneeling in front of him. At a glance, there were only seven of them.
So Jia Lian asked: "If I remember correctly, my sister used to have two serving maids and two servants. When she moved into the garden, the old lady said that there was a lot of space in the garden, and she might not be able to take care of some areas.
Give each of you two extra maids and two nuns to serve, not counting those responsible for sweeping. So, each of you should have at least ten more servants in the house. Why are there only seven of them?
?”
After hearing this, Yingchun didn't know how to answer.
A young daughter-in-law at the bottom quickly said: "Reporting to the second master, our girl's house is not smaller than other places. It is enough for us to serve the girl..."
"Did I ask you to speak, Zhang Zui?"
Jia Lian suddenly became angry. Not only was the young daughter-in-law who was speaking stunned, but the others also looked at each other and suddenly became nervous.
"Do you want me to do it myself?"
Hearing Jia Lian's cold voice, the young wife trembled, raised her hand hesitantly, and began to slap herself.
"Brother..." Yingchun stood up and wanted to beg for mercy. Jia Lian patted the back of his hand to calm him down, and then looked at one of the honest-looking women.
"You tell me."
"Going back to the second master, when our girl and the third girl moved into the garden, we needed manpower everywhere, and the house was temporarily overwhelmed. The second grandma did say that the second girl's place is small, and there is only one woman in charge of sweeping.
enough……"
Jia Lian said: "Even so, people are still wrong."
"One of them took leave a month and a half ago, and there is Zhu'er's mother...that is, our girl's wet nurse. Together with these three people, we have a total of nine people at our disposal in the girl's house."
Jia Lian laughed when he heard this: "Took leave half a month ago? I don't know when our Jia family gave slaves a holiday that lasted for half a month. Was she buried in the grave by her family in turn?"
No one dared to reply to Jia Lian's words, so Jia Lian didn't say much and asked again: "Why isn't Zhu'er's mother here?"
"She is old. She has hardly come to our girl's house since before we moved into the garden. Our girl was considerate of her and never said anything..."
The young daughter-in-law who was palming her just now saw that the situation was not good and couldn't help but said: "My mother-in-law is the girl's wet nurse. She has nursed the girl since she was a child. Now she is old and has physical inconveniences. It is the girl's kindness that allows her to rest at home, right?
Girl, please say something."
Yingchun's face was full of worry, "Brother, it's really okay. It's enough for me to have them at my disposal. Brother, there's no need to be angry about this. It's no use hurting your body."
Yingchun has a gentle appearance and fair and delicate skin. At this time, his face is full of worry, and one hand unconsciously holds Jia Lian's sleeve, looking extremely sad and pitiful.
This made Jia Lian's eyes involuntarily reveal a look of love.
Such a kind and beautiful woman should have been held in the palm of someone's hand and taken care of, but because she had no love and support from her parents and her personality was weak, she suffered all kinds of neglect and unwarranted grievances since she was a child.
It was so easy for her to grow up, but she married a vulgar and evil man and was abused so much that she died in less than a year. How cruel the author was to write such an ending!
Therefore, Jia Lian not only has to protect her in this life, but also vents his bad breath!
He has already asked people to bring Sun Shaozu to Beijing. Next, it is time for him to plan it carefully.
As for these people in front of me...
Although it is just a small thing like missing work, it also reflects their usual attitude of serving the Spring Festival.
Jia Lian had long known that there were unruly slaves in the Yingchun House, led by his wet nurse, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He originally thought that with his presence in this life, these people would not dare to cause trouble, so he did not rush to deal with it. Now it seems that he is still kind.
.
It's time to clear things up and let others see that Jia Lian's sister will never be slighted or bullied.
