It was the seventh day of July that year, which coincided with Fu'er's fourth birthday. Wang Xifeng had recently sent Ping'er to bring her to Lixiangyuan for a visit. This girl was so smart and cute that everyone in Lixiangyuan liked her very much.
Cong Ming 123 Romance made her a big y as a birthday gift. This was also very popular with children in later generations. Fu'er never left his hand day and night after seeing his love, and even the adults were jealous. Xichun simply sent it to the painting.
He wanted one. Jia Cong then drew a few pictures for 123 Romance, talked for half a day, and lent her to Xichun to slowly work on them. By the way, several other girls also made many pictures and put them in the house to play with.
After he came back from making a bunch of dolls, 123 Romance quietly came back to Jia Cong: "There are paintings everywhere in Miss Lin's house."
Jia Cong was stunned: "Hua'er? Doesn't the fourth sister like Hua'er? Sister Lin also likes it?"
123 said romantically: "The paintings painted by the fourth girl are ordinary paintings."
Jia Cong became more and more confused: "Is there anything unusual about the paintings?"
123 Romance said: "Miss Lin's house is full of...the kind of paintings you usually draw, with Arabic numerals and icons. Houses, bridges..."
Jia Cong said "Wow": "Engineering drawings! What are they?"
123 Romance said: "I asked Miss Lin, she said that when she saw the various pictures, she was thinking of drawing two of them herself."
Jia Cong was worried. It was obvious that Lin Daiyu had become interested in architecture in the past two years due to their authentic approach. However, this industry cannot be done behind closed doors. It is an industry with a strong sense of presence. These days, women cannot leave the house without stepping out.
Where could she go to see the scene? After thinking about it for a long time, she finally went to Daiyu's place to inquire about it.
Sure enough, Lin Daiyu's house was covered with all kinds of drawings, ranging from an entire village to houses, bridges and even tombs. There were also many Yin and Yang Bagua diagrams that Jia Cong couldn't understand. Those who didn't know it thought Daiyu was a fortune teller. Jia Cong scalped
Numb: "I said Mr. Lin, what are these!"
Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't move around, I've just been looking for a way."
Jia Cong hurriedly put his hands behind his back: "Promise not to move! Sister Lin, you don't want to be a construction master, do you?"
Daiyu shook her head and said: "It's not caused by those tunnel maps of yours. I probably have some traces. Don't make any noise. I'll be able to spell them out in a few days."
Jia Cong didn't understand, and said: "It's just that if you just read these books, I'm afraid it's just talk on paper. And if you haven't seen the scene, it won't be of much use."
Daiyu quickly turned her head and her eyes shone: "Is there any way you can let me see the scene?"
Jia Cong finally didn't grab his neck, so why didn't he stop talking? But he was really helping him, so he thought about it: "It's easy to take someone out of the house, but sister, do you dare?"
"
Daiyu also hesitated for a while: "Just look at the tunnel, there's no one around."
Jia Cong said quickly: "Then... if you really dare to go and see it, I will arrange to go."
Daiyu hesitated for another half day, then turned to look at a room full of drawings: "I'm really working behind closed doors now." Then she gritted her teeth and said, "Go!"
Jia Cong snapped his fingers.
A few days later, Daiyu pretended to go out of the courtyard to stroll outside, and quietly slipped into Lixiangyuan.
Jia Cong and others were already sweating from waiting. When they saw her, they hurriedly shouted: "Sister, hurry up and change your clothes! Now Zi Yizhi is leading the brothers for a run, and there is no one else around." Then he pointed to a girl with eyes next to him.
The bright girl said, "She is Xiaoxi."
When Wu Xiaoxi saw her idol, her eyes almost turned into candles, and she hurried forward to salute: "I have long admired Mr. Lin's name."
Daiyu hurriedly returned the gift: "I don't dare to accept it!"
Jia Cong said sadly: "Can you make up for the gift after you finish everything? Time is too tight right now." What Daiyu said was funny.
The two of them hurried to the room where Hong Xiu and others were staying. Wu Xiaoxi prepared ordinary clothes and hurriedly changed Daiyu into them. After a while, Lin Daiyu became a peasant girl. When she came out, Jia Cong
Jia Huan all laughed, "What a village girl." Daiyu also smiled and said, "I think she looks good."
Lixiangyuan has a door leading directly to Ningrong Street, so no one knew they were leaving Rongguo Mansion. Cars and horses had been prepared outside, with Jia Cong and Jia Huan escorting them. Yao'er drove the car himself, and the group ran away like thieves.
Since Lin Ruhai returned to the south, Daiyu had not left the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and she was a little excited as soon as she got in the car. The other three people in the car were now masters of rules and regulations, and jumped out of the car curtain to take a peek.
Although it was inconvenient for Daiyu to stretch her head to the middle of the car window like them, she still had a sneak peek at a lot of scenery on the road, and she was in a good mood. They did not go straight to the mansion in the south of the city, but went out of the city gate and passed through the city guard.
The bridge went around Jia Cong's "base".
Liu Feng had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw their carriage coming from a distance, he quickly opened the door. The horse stopped and the carriage slowly stopped. Everyone got down from the top one by one until their feet hit the ground and their hearts felt at ease. They couldn't help but
Look at each other and smile.
After calming down, Jia Congcai said: "Actually, Sister Lin and Brother Yaoer have been famous for a long time, but they have never met. Now that we want to watch the scene together, we don't have to worry about so much. Men and women are all reduced to 'human beings'
'That's it."
The two of them had been curious about each other for a long time, but they didn't dare to look at each other. They bowed as usual and quickly looked away. At this moment, Liu Feng also closed the door and came over, and everyone saw each other. Because it was the first time they saw each other.
Mr. Lin, who has been famous for a long time, and Liu Feng Xiaoxi were quite excited. They really couldn't care less about greetings at this moment. They hurriedly led Daiyu to take a rough look at the yard, then opened the tunnel and held up the lantern.
Walk down slowly.
Although Daiyu pondered various drawings every day, she had never seen real objects such as tunnel mechanisms. It was extremely strange. She slowly looked at it all the way, and she was not tired after walking so long. They did not dare to go out of Gong Sanyi's water tank, so they only entered it.
Just put a vat in and hold up a lamp to shine. I went up to the garden of the big house in the south of the city. While there was no one in the garden, I walked around for a while, sat down and ate some snacks - the snacks were naturally brought by Jia Huan. Jia Cong made a special decision
When Jia Huan was around, everyone judged who was fatter. Unfortunately, no one said that Jia Huan was fatter. Jia Huan was very happy.
Then they went to Zhenwu Temple. They thought they could do this without being noticed, so Yao'er took the wrong path and went up to the Medicine Master Buddha Hall. From the first moment they saw Qin Keqing looking at him and smiling. Yao'er hurriedly said to behind him: "
Madam Qin is here."
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "What are you playing at?"
Jia Cong hurriedly came out and said with a smile: "We have invited a great Feng Shui master to check the scene." After looking around and seeing no one else, he turned around and asked quietly, "There is only one bride to be married here. Everyone else is here."
Not here. That village girl in red, do you want to come out?"
Daiyu smiled and said: "Since you are here, I will naturally congratulate you in person."
Jia Cong said, "This is Mrs. Qin, she will soon be Mrs. Liu." He turned sideways and asked them all to come out.
Qin Keqing also came to Rongguo Mansion to pay respects to Jia Mu in the early years. Daiyu had met her before, so she recognized her immediately and blurted out: "Isn't this Brother Xianrong's wife?"
Jia Huan said: "That's right! She has returned to secular life a long time ago, and now she is engaged to Brother Liu, and the ceremony will be held next month."
Jia Cong sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity that the couple is going to create the world together, and there is no one to take care of many things in the escort agency."
Qin Keqing said: "Don't worry about this, I will arrange it well."
Lin Daiyu had no idea about this story and looked at them with wide eyes. Qin Keqing smiled slightly and said, "Miss Lin needs to go out for a walk."
Daiyu was only eleven years old, a very curious age. How could she withstand the temptation to "go out for a walk"? She couldn't help but agreed. Yao'er hurriedly said: "It's just a walk around, today we are
You came here secretly, so don't alert the nunnery master." Keqing nodded and led them around for a while before returning to their original place. Everyone congratulated her again, and Qin Keqing thanked her with a smile.
After returning to the tunnel, everyone was about to talk about Qin Keqing, but Daiyu suddenly spoke and said with certainty: "There is another exit."
Jia Cong was stunned: "Mr. Gong said that day, there are only four exits."
Daiyu said: "There must be an exit."
Jia Cong asked why.
Daiyu said: "Your house crosses the moat and occupies the water level; Zhenwu'an is the earth level; Mr. Gong's water tank is empty and does not occupy the water, but it occupies the fire level, probably because it is the kitchen.
The exit of my uncle's big house in the south of the city is the garden, and it also occupies a wooden position. There must also be a gold position."
Jia Cong was overjoyed: "There is indeed a treasure!"
Daiyu said: "I don't know the specific location yet. There are many variables. I need to think about it for a few more days."
Everyone said, "Don't worry, I've been waiting for two years!" Only Jia Cong sighed, "I've been waiting for four years, okay?"
Daiyu asked about Qin Keqing again, and Jia Cong said, "We are too pressed for time today. Let's talk about it in detail tomorrow. This story is quite long." Daiyu nodded.
Since they didn't dare to stay too long, after seeing the real thing once, everyone hurried back to Lixiangyuan. Yao'er went in first to clear the place and drove everyone to their respective rooms to hide. Daiyu quickly slipped out of the carriage and changed back into clothes.
, walked back as if nothing happened. Back in her own room, Zijuan had searched Rongguo Mansion several times, and now she was extremely anxious. When she saw them, the girl hurriedly came up and asked her where she was. Daiyu only coaxed her.
She accidentally fell asleep in the newly built large flower house. Zijuan was an honest person, so she believed her immediately and kept urging her: "Girl, please don't sleep outside randomly in the future, for fear of catching the cold."
The matter began to end quietly, and Jia Cong thought that was all. Unexpectedly, after more than ten days, Daiyu wanted to see it again. Jia Cong took the sign she wrote to convey the order, turned around and asked Jia Huan: "
Why do I think Sister Lin will become addicted to watching the scene?"
Jia Huan held the noodle fruit in his mouth and shouted vaguely: "I think so too!"
Yao'er sighed: "In my opinion, although Miss Lin is gentle, she has a similar temperament to Xiao Xi. I'm afraid she doesn't want to be surrounded by walls."
Jia Cong nodded: "That makes sense. So once she got a chance, she wanted to see it a second time."
Jia Huan frowned and said: "If you help her, it seems wrong; if you don't help her, why do I want to help her?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "If you don't want to help anyone, you have to help Mr. Lin. If others don't help us, let's wait for help. Disciple, do you accept the hard work?" Yin patted Yao'er and said, "I have to trouble you to drive again, senior brother!"
"
Yao'er said with a smile: "My father is the owner of a horse store, so I am naturally good at driving."
When Lin Daiyu visited the tunnel for the second time, Jia Cong and others knew that they had underestimated her. She was much more meticulous than the first time. She also brought a ruler and compass, and took a triangle ruler made by Jia Cong to check and measure many details.
, obviously not to go out for a stroll at all. It’s just that this time she probed a little too carefully, and only read a little bit when it was time to go back. Because she straightened up and said: “It’s much clearer in person than on paper. Next
Let’s look at the next one.”
Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said, "How long will it take to find out the treasure?"
Daiyu hummed: "You've been waiting for four years, and you still care about such a small amount of time?"
Jia Cong was speechless. He took a charcoal and drew a picture of future generations. A little man was holding a bowl to catch his tears. Everyone who saw it laughed.
They had just returned to Lixiangyuan that day. Before Daiyu had time to change her clothes, she suddenly heard Liu Feng, the gatekeeper outside, shout loudly: "Miss Ping is here!" Daiyu was so frightened that she sprained her legs. Fortunately, Xiaoxi was nearby.
Hold her.
Jia Cong hurriedly greeted her and saw Ping'er coming up with a smile and saluting: "Second Master sent me to tell you that our grandma is here."
Jia Cong was overjoyed and hurriedly warned: "Don't overwork yourself! I'd rather be bored for these ten months, it's important, it's important!" This treasure in the original work is gone.
Seeing that he said it carefully, Ping'er nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Third Master. I will tell our Second Master and Second Grandma when I get back." So he hurried back.
Because Sister Feng had been managing the house very smoothly in the past few years, she didn't want to hand over the power so early and wanted to take care of it for a few more months. She was frightened after hearing what Ping'er brought back. After thinking about it again and again, she said to Jia Lian:
"The girls are getting older too, why not let them follow my sister-in-law to take care of me these days?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "Of course. Do you think it will be the second aunt's turn again? Our ancestors and I have already had an understanding. You just have to worry about raising her."
Sure enough, when Jia Mu heard that Sister Feng wanted to raise her grandson wholeheartedly, she even praised: "Girl Feng is now in a safe place." Then she ordered Li Wan and Yingchun to run the house together, while Tanchun was waiting to help. Jia Cong naturally ran away.
I won’t go into details one by one without mentioning a bunch of thank you gifts and rewards.
The next month, Liu Xianglian and Qin Keqing got married. Qin Ye thought that Liu Xianglian was going out to do lumber business, and his daughter had to go with him to help take care of the shop, so he was quite reluctant to leave Beijing temporarily. Fortunately, Liu Xianglian's shop was only
In Panlong Town, it was very close to the capital and easy to travel to and from. Qin Zhong was reluctant to leave, and faced Liu Xianglian with an angry face every day. It was Qin Ye who persuaded him: "Your brother-in-law must establish his own business.
It's better than being an escort in the past, and it's safer."
Liu Xianglian's current circle of friends is no longer the same as before. Those dandies are gradually alienating him. He also knows that he is already a big king, and he is more and more reluctant to interact with them, fearing that he is neglectful of words. On the other hand, Feng Ziying, because the two of them have always been good friends.
, never stopped. Baoyu was also invited, and suddenly he saw Qin Zhong in the banquet, as if in a dream. However, Qin Zhong had never seen him because his sister was getting married, so he had never seen him. But Yao'er saw him and quietly
He walked over and pulled Qin Zhong: "Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion is looking at you."
Qin Zhong then looked around, and sure enough he saw Baoyu already looking at him and shedding tears, with mixed feelings. On that day, they went to Jia's family to study together, but they only knew that they were fooling around every day without making any effort. Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
When a white colt passes by, it gives birth to a young man with a white head and a sigh, just like the changes in the sea.
Baoyu came over, took Qin Zhong's hand and cried, "Is your sister okay?"
Qin Zhong's eye circles were red at this moment. Hearing this, he immediately held back his tears and laughed out loud: "Okay, tight."
Baoyu was stunned. Looking at his appearance, he was really happy. He quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Could it be that you have already taken her out?"
Qin Zhong said with a smile: "I was making arrogant claims that day. How could I easily pick her up with my little skills? Even if I picked her out, how many years would it take? My sister will be old when I win the exam.
Yes. My sister is such a good person, so naturally she doesn’t have to wait that long.” Yin quietly echoed, “The bride is my sister!”
Baoyu was overjoyed and said with his hands: "It's her! Great kindness! They really deserve each other!" He then sighed, "Brother Liu also said he wanted a stunning beauty in his early years. If he really gets one, he will."
Seeing that he was carried away again, Qin Zhong glared at him and said, "If I didn't know your bad temper, I would beat you, would you believe it?"
Baoyu was stunned.
Qin Zhong was often with Jia Huan and others these days, and learned many actions and words, so he covered his face with his hands: "Sure enough, everyone in the world is getting older, but you are still a fool. Baoyu, you are so tall.
Let's have some snacks." She put her hand down and saw that he was still at a loss. He also caught a glimpse of Jia Huan eating happily on the full snack plate, so she pointed at him and said, "I still have something to do, so you can ask Huan'er."
Only then did Baoyu realize that Jia Huan was among the crowd! He was eating and chatting with others. Jia Cong was also sitting next to him. I wonder when the two of them became so familiar.
Are you there? Looking back, Qin Zhong has left. He has no choice but to walk over to look for Jia Huan.
Jia Huan was arguing with Wu You about "Which of Hua Rong, Legolas or Hawkeye has better archery skills?" Jia Cong was so embarrassed by their divine proposition that he listened with interest, holding his chin, suddenly Wu You
He was silent. Jia Huan was still lowering his head and eating fiercely, and asked: "Why don't you say anything? Are you admitting defeat?"
Wu You whispered: "Your brother is here."
Jia Huan took a long spring roll in his mouth and turned around to look. His brother Jia Baoyu stared at him with wide eyes. Jia Huan was also stunned. After half a day, Jia Huan took a bite of the spring roll and got the rest.
Inside, he chewed twice physiologically and waved to Baoyu with a smile: "Hello, second brother~~"
