Seeing that he was about to reach the door of Qiu Shuangzhai, Yingchun gradually lowered his head and rubbed his feet forward step by step.
Siqi often heard her mother and grandmother talk about Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian's faults, so naturally she didn't want Yingchun to approach Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng. When she saw Yingchun's hesitation, she quickly stepped forward to hold Yingchun and said:
"The eldest master and the eldest wife still have to make the decision about a girl's marriage. Why not go and beg them for their favor and risk your life to cry, because they won't be soft-hearted and make the decision for the girl."
Xiuju just saw that Yingchun, who had always been soft-hearted and had no idea, had made a decision on her own for the first time. She was happy for her in her heart. When she saw Yingchun stopped by Si Qi's words, she also hurriedly said:
"The girl loves to play chess. She has memorized many chess records. She naturally knows that if she is always indecisive, always afraid of the wolf and the tiger behind, and just has an idea, then it will be strange that she can win this game.
When big things happen, the girl needs to make up her mind about her own affairs."
Yingchun never raised his head or opened his mouth. He paused for a while and then continued walking slowly towards Qiu Shuangzhai.
"The second girl is indeed here, and everyone is waiting for her inside."
A gentle and kind voice came to her ears. She was so surprised that Yingchun looked up and saw that the person in front of her was slim and graceful, with a charming face. He was not Ping'er, but who was he?
Yingchun Nana said:
"I...I came to see my third sister. Is she in the house?"
Ping'er had already understood Yingchun's temperament, and thought to himself, "Sure enough, the second master guessed it, everything is right." He pursed his lips and smiled, without revealing it, and just said:
"It's not convenient for us, the second master, to go to the girl's room, so we all went to the Moon Pavilion in the southeast to sit and talk."
While talking, he led Yingchun through Xiaocuitang, which is surrounded by corridors, and along the bluestone path, all the way up the mountain.
Like the Tanchun Garden, this earthen mountain is covered with banana trees and sycamores. The southeastern part of the mountain is the highest point in the Grand View Garden, and there is an octagonal pavilion built there.
There were still dozens of steps away from the pavilion, and Ping'er stopped and said with a smile:
"While the second master is talking to the girls, we won't go there."
Instead, Siqi and Xiuju were also retained:
"Shishu and the others are also playing catch under the tree. Let's go over and have a look."
.
The location here is high and open, which makes people open-minded and refreshed.
Jia Lian, Xifeng, Daiyu and Tan Chun were drinking tea and talking about the independent economic accounting of Grand View Garden.
Tanchun was originally very interested in managing the Grand View Garden, but now that he had Jia Lian as his backing, he naturally became more and more confident.
But there was something about welcoming the Spring Festival today, and Tanchun was still worried about it, so he felt a little absent-minded from time to time and kept looking in the direction of Zhujin Tower.
Wang Xifeng was so shrewd that he could see Tanchun's thoughts at a glance and gently pushed Jia Lian:
"The temper of the second sister can really make a person anxious. Do you think she will really endure it like this? Or, will she get so anxious that she goes to the old lady? Also, what if she goes to the old man?
"
Jia Lian took a sip of tea, picked a candied date from the fruit box, put it in his mouth, and said with a leisurely smile:
"My eyes are good at seeing people.
That girl Xiuju is loyal to her second sister and acts in a measured manner. When she learns the news, she will naturally try to persuade her second sister at all costs.
Besides, my second sister can’t be wrong either.”
The Twelve Beauties of Jinling are the twelve women in Jinling Province who are the best in appearance, talent, and temperament. Yingchun is ranked seventh. Could it be that she is a mediocre and stupid person?
Before he finished speaking, he heard Daiyu chuckle:
"Second brother Lian is a living Zhuge. Look, isn't that second sister here?"
Yingchun walked into the pavilion and saw everyone's eyes staring at her. She quickly lowered her head and muttered:
"Okay, what are you looking at me for?"
Jia Lian saw that she had obviously changed her clothes and made up again, making her look even more beautiful.
It was the spring of the twenty-eighth year, and although his appearance was not an alluring one, he was at least an upper-middle-class figure. What stood out in particular was the beauty of his cheeks, which had fresh plump cheeks, and his nose, which was greasy and goose-fat.
But, what's more, he has an innate gentle and quiet temperament, which adds a bit of weakness and pity, which is quite touching.
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"We are all waiting for the second sister to make up her mind."
"Me? What ideas can I have? I..."
Before Yingchun could finish his customary spoken words, he was interrupted by Jia Lian:
"I wonder if the second sister has understood what I just said to her?"
Yingchun pulled the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head for a long time, and finally nodded. Although she still didn't raise her head, the words she spoke every word were very clear:
"I'm here just to say something from the bottom of my heart so that you can understand me."
Wang Xifeng's eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't help but open her mouth to speak, but Jia Lian stopped her.
The sound of welcoming spring is not loud, but as gentle as the summer night breeze:
"Ever since I was six years old, the old lady saw that I had a silent temper, so she asked me to learn to play chess more.
In fact, playing chess is fun only when someone is accompanying you, but how could I be so lucky? I have always been able to play chess by myself.
The imperial concubine in front of me asked us to do lantern riddles, and what I did was: 'People with good luck have endless merits, and it is rare to have merit but not luck. Why are the days and days in chaos, just because the numbers of yin and yang are different'.
The master guessed it was ‘abacus’, but actually my answer was ‘go’, but I nodded and said that the master guessed it right.
Firstly, it’s because I think it doesn’t matter what’s right or wrong. Just let everyone be happy; secondly, because I thought about it and felt that the master’s guess was quite appropriate.
Other people's chess games are well-planned and ever-changing, but my chess game is a dead game of chaos and chaos. It doesn't work at all. It's not so much a chess game that has a lot of foresight and foresight, but it's more like being manipulated by someone else.
abacus.
Since Second Brother Lian understands my situation in this house, he can also understand that I read "Tai Shang Induction" over and over again every day, but I told myself over and over again.
I must have owed money to others in my previous life, so I have to repay the debt in this life. Since there is no way to bring blessings and misfortunes, people can only bring them to themselves, so I can only hide. I don’t want any blessings or disasters. I just want
As long as the whole family is harmonious and harmonious, it doesn't matter if I am wronged."
She rarely said more than ten sentences in one breath, and her face was already flushed. After holding it in for a long time, she finally added:
"Second brother Lian said that he would never let me suffer any injustice in the future. I wonder if that's true?"
At this time, Jia Lian no longer looked as lazy as before. He stepped forward and solemnly took Yingchun's wrist:
"My second sister, over the years, I have been 'sorrying for your misfortune and being angry for your misfortune.' Now you have come to your senses. It's all better. As long as you stand up, my brother will be your backing.
Who else can make you feel wronged?
You must first understand that you are Miss Jia Er of Rongguo Mansion, the cousin of the imperial concubine, and you are still in your own home. If you want to protect your interests, how could you not be able to do so?"
Jia Lian never noticed that he said Lu Xun's famous saying in excitement, which shocked Daiyu and Tanchun so much that they couldn't help but gasp.
Especially for Daiyu, she couldn't help but chew on the words "Sorrowful for her misfortune, angry for her inability to fight" over and over again, and her admiration in her heart was beyond words:
I only knew that Brother Lian had amazing literary talent, but I didn’t know that he had such profound Zen knowledge!
It’s just eight words, compassionate, yet sharp and penetrating. It’s true that only those who have had the “great enlightenment” of Buddhism can say such inspiring words.
