Shi Xiangyun, who stayed up until very late last night, got up from bed sleepily and found that Sister Bao, who never liked applying makeup, was actually doing her morning makeup in the mirror, looking very serious.
She got out of bed, walked over wearing only thin clothes, lay on Baochai's shoulders, looked at Baochai's beautiful and flawless face in the glass mirror, and said with some envy: "Sister Baochai, you are so beautiful, just like the Yang in the book."
The imperial concubine is so beautiful."
Baochai helplessly looked at Xiangyun in the mirror.
If someone else said that she looked like Concubine Yang, she would definitely be displeased, thinking that they were mocking her for being fat. But Xiangyun is an outspoken person who is the most upright and righteous person, so she would naturally not think so.
Even so, Baochai still ignored her and only focused on her makeup.
"Sister Bao, let me help you."
Xiangyun came forward and wanted to help, but Baochai quickly stopped him.
"No, I've already done it. I'll give you my place. You should do it yourself. I don't dare to ask you to help me dress up."
Baochai knew her own advantages, and she also understood that a man like Jia Lian would definitely not like a woman wearing heavy makeup.
Xiangyun is a little depressed. What she likes most is that Baochai helps her dress up, but Baochai obviously doesn't trust her skills and aesthetics, and doesn't like asking her to help her dress up.
"Sister Bao, are you going out again today?"
"Well, I want to go out for a while..."
"Sister Bao, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"
"You...my uncle said he would come to see my mother and me, so I want to go back. Are you coming with me?"
"Oh, forget it then."
Even though the prince's appointment to the cabinet had not yet become known to everyone, his mere official position of being the governor of the Beijing camp and controlling the nine provinces had already made him famous in both the government and the public.
Although Xiangyun is not as afraid of meeting "lu beetles" as Jia Baoyu is, as a child, he is naturally afraid of meeting such high-status elders.
"Girl, Second Master Lian is here."
Following Ying'er's message, Jia Lian's tall figure walked in.
Xiangyun was very happy when he heard Jia Lian's arrival, but suddenly he remembered that he was wearing very thin clothes and had no time to go back and get dressed now, so he could only greet Jia Lian shyly.
Jia Lian nodded to her, and then said to Baochai: "The carriage is ready, is it packed up?"
"Um."
"In that case, you follow Ah Qin to the carriage and wait for me, and I'll pick up Miss Lin."
"good."
Xiangyun was confused by the conversation between the two.
Sister Bao wanted to go back to see her uncle, and brother Lian went back with her. She could barely figure it out. After all, Wang Ziteng and Jia Lian were officials in the same dynasty, so it was normal to take the opportunity to meet.
Why does Brother Lian still have to go pick up Sister Lin?
Seeing that Jia Lian was about to leave, she hurriedly asked: "What, second brother Lian is accompanying sister Bao home, will sister Lin also follow?"
Jia Lian smiled and said, "I promised your Sister Bao and Sister Lin that I will take them out of the city for a walk today."
Xiangyun's eyes immediately lit up: "For a walk outside the city? Can you take me with you? I haven't been out of the city for a long time. I really want to go out for a walk..."
Xiangyun twisted his clothes with his fingers and looked at Jia Lian and Baochai coquettishly and expectantly.
Baochai didn't speak, just looked at Jia Lian.
Jia Lian looked at the little girl approaching and hesitated for a moment.
But for the sake of the overall plan, Jia Lian still reluctantly rejected her.
"Next time, the time this time is limited. Next time, I will not only take you, but also the three girls and the others to go out to the city and have a good time."
Xiangyun didn't expect that Jia Lian would refuse her "reasonable" request. After all, Sister Bao and Sister Lin had already brought them, so there was no reason for her to be too much.
Although she was a little disappointed, Jia Lian usually took good care of their sisters. Since she refused so simply this time, there must be inconvenient reasons, so she did not bother and just replied: "Okay, remember to do it next time."
Take me and the third sister, the second sister, Qin'er, Xiao Xichun and the others..."
"good."
Jia Lian touched Xiangyun's little head, turned around and walked out.
Arriving at Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lin Daiyu was still sleeping in!
Jia Lian was speechless. He sat on the edge of the bed and pushed her. The little girl muttered dissatisfiedly, then turned over and continued to sleep while wrapped in a cool quilt.
"Lazy man, get up, the sun is shining on you!"
After two snaps, Jia Lian patted Daiyu's butt twice.
This can be regarded as waking people up.
Daiyu sat up holding the quilt, glaring at Jia Lian with frowning eyebrows.
The weather is so nice today, perfect for sleeping, but this person comes to disturb me, which is really annoying.
"Get up quickly, the weather is nice today, I will take you out to play in the city!"
Um?
Daiyu suddenly stopped feeling sleepy and looked at Jia Lian doubtfully: "Really?"
Daiyu couldn't even remember the last time Jia Lian took her out of the city to play. Anyway, she still remembered the time when Jia Lian took her to visit the temple outside Suzhou when she was nine years old.
"If you don't get up anymore, you're lying."
Daiyu pouted, but after all she couldn't resist the temptation of going out to play in the city, so she got out of bed obediently.
Zijuan and Xueyan, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, immediately came to help her dress and wash.
In the past, Daiyu would chase people away at this time, but now she won't. Anyway, this person can't be chased away.
While Daiyu was dressing up, Zijuan served Jia Lian a cup of tea, and then asked: "Second Master wants to take our girl out of town to play, have you told the old lady?"
Jia Lian glanced at her and said, "No. If you think it's necessary, you can just go and let me know."
Zijuan doesn't quite understand what Jia Lian means by this. In her opinion, it is necessary for a girl to go out and inform her elders.
But thinking about the relationship between Jia Lian and Dai Yu, and following Jia Lian out, what could possibly go wrong?
So he said: "In that case, let me and Xue Yan follow. The girl is weak, and we will take care of her, so the second master can rest assured."
"That's how it should be."
Daiyu didn't know that someone was already waiting outside. Since she was going out to play, she naturally had to dress up beautifully.
Therefore, it took a long time before Daiyu was fully armed.
Jia Lian was a little worried that Baochai would be tired of waiting, so he hurriedly took Daiyu to the back gate of the Grand View Garden.
Before leaving, Zijuan quietly asked the little maid in the courtyard to inform Jia Mu.
Along the way, Daiyu naturally asked questions, such as why she suddenly wanted to take her out of the city to play, where to go, etc.
When I came to the back door, I saw two carriages, one large and one small, parked on the street. The small one was an ordinary-sized carriage, and the big one was naturally the special seat commonly used by Jia Lian and Sister Feng.
Daiyu didn't think of Sister Feng until this moment, and said to Jia Lian with some hesitation: "Didn't you call me Sister Feng?"
She didn't see the maid next to Sister Feng.
"I took your sister Feng to this racecourse last time, but she won't go this time."
This statement dispelled Daiyu's worries. She was thinking about which carriage she should get on.
Getting into a big carriage means that you may have to sit with Jia Lian. With Jia Lian's temperament, there is no telling how she will be bullied on the road.
It doesn't seem very reasonable if he goes to a small school. Not to mention that he and Zijuan are crowded together, leaving Jia Lian alone in a big carriage feels like isolating him.
She didn't need to think clearly, Jia Lian made the decision for her, directly took her little hand and walked to the luxury carriage.
Daiyu then boarded the big carriage, while Zijuan and Xueyan obediently went to the carriage behind them.
When Daiyu was helped into the carriage by Jia Lian and opened the curtain, she was immediately stunned.
In the luxurious and bright carriage, there was a beautiful woman sitting there!
Jia Lian came up from behind and saw Daiyu standing at the door, so he led her inside and asked in surprise: "How come you can't recognize each other with such big eyes and small eyes?"
Daiyu snorted softly, turned around and sat to the north, facing Baochai from the south to the north.
Baochai took a deep breath and calmly greeted Daiyu: "Girl Lin."
Daiyu was embarrassed to ignore people now, so she just asked in a bad tone: "Why is Sister Bao here?"
Baochai didn't answer and looked at Jia Lian.
She didn't communicate with Jia Lian about many things. She just had to believe that Jia Lian could handle it well. As for Dai Yu's squeeze, she was mentally prepared and wouldn't care at all.
"I was having a drink at my aunt's house last night. During the dinner, we talked about the time being right now, which is suitable for an outing in the city. It would be bad if it gets hotter in a few days.
Your sister Bao said that she hasn’t been out of the city for a long time, and it suddenly occurred to me that I haven’t taken you out for a long time either, so I thought it’s rare that I have time now, so I’ll take you two out for a nice tour.”
"Yeah?"
Daiyu glanced at Jia Lian with a meaningful look, and then said to Baochai Leng Qiuqiu: "So, it is only thanks to Sister Bao's blessing that I can come out today?"
This was not the first time Baochai had experienced Daiyu's harsh words. She didn't seem to care and just said: "Originally, I didn't really want to come out because I was afraid of disturbing you and Brother Lian. But Brother Lian said it's okay.
They said it would be more lively when there are more people, so I came."
"Since he said it would be more lively when there are more people, why didn't he call Girl Shangyun and Girl Qin, but he called you?"
No matter how much Baochai can embrace all rivers, he can't do anything against Daiyu who doesn't leave any room in her words.
She stopped talking and looked at Jia Lian again.
At this point, there is actually no need to hide it. As long as Daiyu is not stupid, she should have guessed it. Now she just wants to see what Jia Lian is going to do.
She believed that Daiyu had the same idea as her.
Facing two pairs of eyes with different expressions but the same beauty, Jia Lian felt a little sweaty inside.
He coughed lightly, opened the curtain and said to Zhang Yong and others outside: "Let's go to He Ji Porridge Shop first."
After saying that, he turned back to Baochai and said: "When I went to call her, she was still sleeping in, so she hadn't had breakfast yet. Let's take her to have some breakfast before setting off."
Jia Lian has led troops in battles, and he knows that the enemy's troops are too strong at the moment, so it is better to avoid them for the time being.
Sure enough, Jia Lian's words caused Chai and Dai to lose their offensive look.
Daiyu was a little embarrassed, although because of Jiamu's kindness, they did not have to go to greet her early every morning, and their children could be lazy and sleep in.
But sleeping until this hour is not a glorious thing after all.
Baochai naturally understood that Jia Lian was slowing down the attack, so he shook his head and showed a hint of ridicule.
In the carriage behind, Zijuan, Snow Goose and Ying'er were sitting there with big eyes and small eyes.
After all, Xueyan was young and could not hold back her anger: "Sister Ying'er, why are you here?"
"Why are you here, I am here."
Ying'er is not Baochai, and she didn't give in to Xueyan's consciousness.
In her heart, their girl is no worse than Miss Lin, or even better.
Xueyan was just asking politely, but when Ying'er retorted like this, not to mention the intellectual Zijuan, even she felt something was wrong.
"The Marquis took our girl out to play in the city, and we accompanied our girl out!"
"You came out with your girl, so naturally I came out with our girl!"
Zijuan stopped Xueyan who was still arguing with Ying'er and asked: "So, Miss Bao is also in the car in front?"
He was obviously more polite to Zicuckoo Ying'er and nodded.
Zicuckoo frowned deeply.
Sure enough, what the girl was most worried about happened. She didn't know what was going on in the carriage in front of her.
Zijuan is a little worried about Daiyu and wonders if Daiyu can handle the current situation with her temperament.
The carriage and Jia Lian's personal guards slowly drove away from Ningrong Back Street. Before they reached the east side of the street, they were suddenly chased by several fast horses from behind.
"Master Marquis, a decree has been sent to the palace, and the Marquis is ordered to enter the palace immediately to pay homage!"
The sudden sound stunned Jia Lian, who was about to speak to break the calm in the carriage.
At this time, if the emperor is not busy eliminating dissidents and supporting party members, why should he be anxious to see him?
Could it be that you have figured it out and don’t want to keep him cold anymore, or have you encountered some unsolvable problem and thought of him?
Jia Lian was like this, and Baochai Daiyu in the carriage also looked surprised.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Baochai immediately said: "We are summoned by the palace, so brother Lian should go into the palace quickly. As for the fun, we can talk about it later."
"
Daiyu opened her mouth and found that Baochai had finished speaking, so she remained silent.
However, Jia Lian said: "I finally have the opportunity to take you two out, how can I give up halfway?
Just wait, if it's nothing important, I will come back as soon as possible."
Although Baochai didn't agree with Jia Lian's idea of ignoring the emperor's order, seeing that Jia Lian had made up his mind, she still nodded and said: "In that case, Lin Yatou and I are waiting for you at my house. You don't have to worry, even if you are delayed today, tomorrow will
It’s the same if we play again, business matters first.”
Baochai was so familiar with this section of the road that he naturally knew that the carriage was driving not far from his door at this moment.
Daiyu was dissatisfied that Baochai made the decision for her so easily, so she said: "You can go, but you won't have to go far anyway. Zijuan and I will just go back by ourselves. When you have finished handling the business, we can go out to the city."
Just for fun."
From Daiyu's tone, Jia Lian heard that Daiyu was no longer interested in going out to the city.
He didn't want Daiyu's heart to be completely cold, otherwise he would have to spend more energy to coax her back.
So he took Daiyu's hand and said: "I might be back soon. Listen to your sister Bao, you go to your aunt's house to rest first.
Have you forgotten how much your aunt took care of you when she was in the Grand View Garden? She would be sad if she knew that you stayed outside the house."
Jia Lian's words made Daiyu hesitate.
Daiyu, like Jia Lian, has always had a good sense of Aunt Xue. And Aunt Xue, no matter what the reason, is indeed very good to Daiyu, and Daiyu will remember all these things in her heart.
Seeing Daiyu's hesitation, Jia Lian added: "As you know, I'm in some trouble right now. I still don't know why the emperor announced my entry into the palace.
You don’t want me to be distracted and worried about you in the palace, right?
Be good and be obedient. If you have any questions, please wait until I come back to talk to you, okay?"
What Jia Lian said was a bit shameless, a typical example of bullying a gentleman.
But the effect is amazing.
Even if Daiyu no longer cares about the secular world, she still knows that Jia Lian's career is very important to him and even to the Jia family.
Didn't you see that the whole family seemed so nervous yesterday when they heard that Jia Lian was dismissed from office?
She didn't want to bear the charge Jia Lian had laid on her.
"Well, then. I'll just go and see my aunt."
Daiyu said and looked at Baochai, her eyes seeming to say, I went to your house for my aunt's sake, not because of you.
