Baochai was sent from the rear gate of Grand View Garden to Hengwu Garden, where both Yingchun and Tanchun helped clean up the room.
In fact, there is nothing to deal with. Every place where the ladies live in Grand View Garden has maids who are responsible for guarding and cleaning.
After Sister Yingchun and Baochai had a brief conversation, Jia Lian called the mother-in-law and maid from Hengwu Garden and ordered: "You guys, send the second and third girls back."
Yingchun and the two were puzzled: "Second brother, won't you come with us?"
"You guys go first. There are a few things about Uncle Xue that I forgot to explain to my aunt at the table. I will talk to your sister Bao and tell her the same thing when she sees her aunt."
"oh."
Yingchun nodded, bowed to Jia Lian, and went out after the mothers-in-law put on the lanterns. However, before Tanchun left, she turned back and glanced at Jia Lian and Baochai.
It wasn't that she thought there was anything wrong with Jia Lian's statement, but she found that when Jia Lian was speaking, Sister Bao, who had always been steady and reserved, actually showed a bit of nervousness on her face.
I was just a little surprised. I thought that although Sister Laibao and them were sisters, they were not my sisters after all. It was understandable that she would be a little shy to talk to Brother Lian alone.
After seeing off Yingchun and others, Baochai stood on the corridor for a while, then Fang and his maid Ying'er turned around and returned to the house.
Seeing Jia Lian sitting at the tea table, slowly drinking tea, Baochai stopped again.
Ying'er was keenly aware of the strangeness of the atmosphere. With a quick glance, she quietly retreated from Baochai.
"They left?"
"Um."
"What are you standing for? Sit down and talk."
Baochai's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, she walked to the low kang by the window, and sat on her side with her knees bent.
"Tell your mother not to worry too much about your brother. One year will go by very quickly. I will also ask someone to report to the Ministry of Punishment Prison so that they can take more care of him.
If you want to see him, you can go and visit him, but it's best not to do it too frequently, as it will only attract criticism. If you go to visit him once every ten days, there's no problem."
"I know, I will tell my mother."
"As for your family's business in the palace and your titles in the Household Department, you are doing more and making more mistakes now. It is best to wait and see for the time being and wait until this storm passes.
Even if something goes wrong, there is still room for correction after your brother comes out, or when my uncle comes back from patrolling the border."
Hearing Jia Lian take the initiative to talk about this, Baochai sighed.
Perhaps this is the reason why my mother would rather wrong herself and the Xue family than promise herself to the second brother Lian.
Today's Xue family really needs the help of someone like Brother Lian to survive.
Just like the brother's matter and the family's reputation as a royal merchant, these two matters that made the mother extremely worried were discussed in a few words by the second brother Lian.
Moreover, she also knew that if the second brother Lian was willing to contribute, the result would be much better than expected.
So he hummed softly and said, "I understand."
Seeing Baochai sitting upright on the soft bed, with a graceful and upright posture, and a thoughtful look in his eyes, Jia Lian knew that a smart woman like Baochai could talk to the point without going into details.
So he skipped the conversation and said with a smile: "Sister Baochai, don't be reserved in front of me. Since aunt has promised you to me, from now on, I will be responsible for your sister's life. I will be your sister's eternal support."
I know that my sister is far more talented than any other woman in the world, and I hope that she will be my good wife in the future. If my sister is always so reserved and dare not say anything in front of me, how can I do it?"
Baochai was still thinking about the future of his family, when he suddenly heard what Jia Lian said, he felt ashamed and anxious, and couldn't help but look at Jia Lian.
Seeing Jia Lian's face full of jest, she knew that Jia Lian was deliberately humiliating her.
Seeing that Jia Lian had closed her mouth and smiled after finishing her words, obviously waiting for her reply, she lowered her head and said softly: "Although my mother promised you, you promised to respect my wishes, but now I haven't agreed yet... Of course, it doesn't count.
number……"
"Oh, isn't my sister willing?"
If it were before, Jia Lian would not be so anxious. But after he got the exact information from Aunt Xue, he would naturally not be afraid of Baochai turning her back in shame.
Sure enough, Baochai just lowered his head and said nothing when he heard this.
Jia Lian took the opportunity, walked to the kang, and sat down gently.
Baochai was slightly startled when he noticed his move. He moved his body and wanted to get up, but he felt that doing so was too much like a frightened bird.
Moreover, although Jia Lian was sitting on the same kang with him, he was not right next to her, but about two or three bodies away. This distance could give her a certain sense of security.
With such hesitation in my heart, I lost the opportunity to get up and walk away.
Therefore, Baochai only slightly turned his legs together and sat upright from the side to avoid facing Jia Lian face to face.
Before Jia Lian sat down, he expected Baochai to avoid her. When he found that the other party was not there, he naturally did not move rashly. Instead, he took advantage of the time when Baochai did not dare to look directly at him, and quietly admired the young girl.
Although this was not the first time he looked at this beautiful woman who was tied with Daiyu for the first place in the list of twelve beauties, every time he looked at her, he found it pleasing to the eye.
Even though it was still early spring, the thicker clothes prevented him from seeing her beauty to the maximum extent, but just looking at her cheeks, neck and slender hands that could not be completely covered by the clothes was enough to make Jia Lian sigh:
The Creator is so wonderful that he can carve a woman into such a flawless shape.
Ice muscles and snow bones are the most perfect interpretation of her.
Her lips are red without being dotted, and her eyebrows are green without being painted. She has a regular appearance and a plump body.
If there is any woman in this world who is worthy of the four words "national beauty and heavenly fragrance", it is probably her.
Baochai became nervous after Jia Lian sat next to her. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from Jia Lian. When she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she probably realized that Jia Lian was sizing her up, and she felt even more ashamed.
Yin turned his body a little further to the other side, and then said softly: "Brother Lian is a hero of the world. Not only does he have a prosperous official career, but he also has Sister Feng inside. Sister Lin, who is unparalleled in the world, agrees with me. His life is so perfect, so why bother?"
No longer be obsessed with Baochai."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Baochai's words seemed to be rejection, but in fact, when Jia Lian heard them, they made him smile.
He quietly came closer and said softly: "It seems that my sister has completely forgotten what I said last night. What is perfection? If you can't have your sister by your side in this life, your life will not be considered complete."
Baochai's eyebrows were lowered, but of course she had not forgotten them. On the contrary, the words Jia Lian said last night had gone through her mind a thousand times during the day, so much so that she could still remember what Jia Lian said at that time.
Every word, and the tone and demeanor when saying each word.
The more she thought about it, the more shy she became. She turned completely to the other side, with her back to Jia Lian: "Even if I believe what the second brother Lian said, has the second brother Lian ever thought about what if... what if, if I really follow my mother's arrangements?
, then who will I be in the future?
Sister Lin is a fourth-grade rural monarch conferred by the saint, and her status is noble. I heard that the second brother Lian also promised Uncle Lin that he would marry him as his wife in the future.
In this way, even if Sister Lin marries you as your concubine, her status is second only to Sister Feng, and no one would dare to bully her.
And what about me? How is brother Lian going to treat me?
Is she a rough girl like Qingwen Xiangling, or worse?"
Although he couldn't see Baochai's expression, Jia Lian knew that Baochai must be very serious when he asked such a question. He also knew that his answer would determine Baochai's final choice.
He tentatively put his hand on Baochai's shoulder, and when he noticed that Baochai's body trembled, he did not hesitate, gently pulled Baochai's body back, let her lean back on his shoulder, and then said softly:
"Silly girl, if I didn't really like you, respect you, and want your sincerity, why would I agree to let you make your own choice?
You just need to know that your position in my heart is no weaker than anyone else's.
Your sister Lin's title was obtained by her father for her. I can't promise it to you yet. But I can promise you that if sister Lin has it, you will have it too.
Regardless of my status as a concubine or the wedding gift in the future, I will do my best to give you the best.
Not for anything else, just because you are worth it in my heart."
When Jia Lian said these words, he was complaining in his heart. Fortunately, it was this era. In future generations, he would have been slapped by the woman long ago. No, maybe twice.
Not to mention how Jia Lian felt about his speech, but when Baochai heard it, the biggest stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
In fact, she did not resist her mother's arrangement for her, because she had long discovered that she admired Jia Lian in her heart.
She also wants to accompany such a unique man, create an era with him, and realize the value she wants to realize through him.
Her only concern was her status in Jia Lian's heart.
After all, in this era of distinction, slaves cannot go hand in hand with their masters.
She could allow herself to be lower than her cousin Wang Xifeng, who made her a latecomer. But she couldn't accept that she had to be lower than Jia Lian's other wives and concubines.
In fact, there are only three wives and concubines of Jia Lian now: Sister Feng, Daiyu, and Heping'er.
At least that's the case on the surface.
She heard from her mother that Jia Lian said that if he could get her, he would treat her as a national treasure.
Although her heart was warm, she heard it from others, and her mother might not have tried to persuade her and embellished her white lies. Now she heard Jia Lian say with her own ears that she was not weaker than anyone else in his heart, and he would follow the instructions given.
Treating her according to Daiyu's standards made her feel relieved.
Because in her heart, she believed in Jia Lian's character and words. This was the result of her observing Jia Lian's behavior over the past few years.
Therefore, even though she knew that it was inappropriate for her to lean into Jia Lian's arms, she could not make up her mind to get up.
She somewhat enjoyed this quiet and wonderful feeling, which was something she had never experienced in her teenage life.
Baochai is like this, let alone Jia Lian?
Tonight was the first time that Jia Lian held Baochai in his arms. In the past, it was either because Baochai was frightened or he took advantage of his unpreparedness, it didn't matter.
Feeling the fragrance coming from this beautiful and fragrant girl, Jia Lian felt excited. Because he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, from now on, this woman would belong to him.
He didn't ask Baochai if he agreed, but quietly moved Baochai's body closer to his arms to enjoy more tenderness.
People are always greedy.
Finding that Baochai seemed to be silent in his inner world and unresponsive to his actions, Jia Lian couldn't help but look sideways at Baochai's profile and snow-white neck.
Baochai's ice muscle and jade bones have always been the place he coveted the most. Now it was only a breath away from his mouth and nose, making him unable to restrain himself.
He lowered his head, wanting to kiss Fangze.
Although he was extremely careful, he still underestimated the girl's vigilance.
Almost as soon as she felt the man's hot breath on her cheeks, Baochai came back to her senses.
There was no need to look back, the clever Baochai knew what Jia Lian wanted.
She dodged away from Jia Lian's shoulder and stood by the kang, her cheeks extremely red and said: "It's time for Brother Lian to leave. They will be back later."
The women Baochai mentioned were the servant women who sent the two Yingchun girls down the mountain.
Jia Lian was a little disappointed.
Isn’t it said that a girl who falls in love has zero IQ?
Even Daiyu couldn't resist his gentle offensive, which made him push forward step by step. How could Xue Baochai push him away suddenly in such a harmonious situation just now?
It didn't bother me, after all, if it was easy to win, she wouldn't be Xue Baochai.
I feel regretful. From this point of view, I don’t know how long it will take to have a real kiss. But no matter what, I will succeed after marrying the other person, right?
Nodding, Jia Lian stood up and prepared to leave. After taking two steps, he looked back at Baochai: "You won't regret it, will you?"
Baochai met Jia Lian's eyes in surprise, and immediately understood what he meant, and felt very unhappy.
What kind of regret? It’s obvious that she hasn’t agreed yet!
After all, this was not the first day she met Jia Lian. She knew that Jia Lian's thinking was wild and unconventional, and he had an unconventional but effective way of speaking.
Perhaps it is precisely because he is such a special person that he attracts me so much.
Blushing, Baochai nodded imperceptibly.
Jia Lian felt relieved, waved his sleeves, said goodbye, and walked out of the room with brisk steps.
