Chapter 575 Crux

Because it was late at night, Sanchun and others did not stay in Rongqing Hall for long. Not long after Jia Lian left, he followed Li Wan out.

Perhaps it was because tonight’s “big event” was a shock to them, which made them a little excited, and they had no intention of going back to their room to rest as soon as possible. Tanchun suggested going to "Sister Feng's courtyard" to see "Sister Feng", which was approved and echoed by the other sisters.

"You go ahead, I won't go."

Daiyu glanced at them, Leng Qiuqiu said a word and prepared to turn back.

Tanchun quickly grabbed her and said with a smile: "No, Sister Lin, let's go together, okay..."

It was late at night, so it was inconvenient to go to Brother The disturbance in the sister-in-law's courtyard was originally made easier by the large number of people. As soon as Daiyu left, Jia Baoyu was embarrassed. He must have left too, this one too, that one too, and then he wouldn't be able to go.

Daiyu didn’t know Tanchun’s considerations, so she refused to comply. It's not that she doesn't dare to go to Jialian Courtyard, it's just that she doesn't like to go with Tanchun and others, because these people always like to tease her, which annoys her.

In addition, Jia Baoyu’s presence is also a reason.

Seeing that Daiyu was determined not to join them, Jia Baoyu next to her looked sad. In his eyes, the reason why Daiyu didn't join them was entirely because of his last offense.

I deliberately wanted to say goodbye so that Daiyu could be at ease with Tanchun and the others. The words came to his lips, but he was very reluctant. From now on, he and Sister Lin really have to be distinct. Where he is, there cannot be Daiyu, and where there is Daiyu, he cannot be there?

With a look on his face, Jia Baoyu suddenly took a step forward and said seriously: "Sister Lin, are you going to keep avoiding me like this?"

Tan Chun also subconsciously relaxed. Opened Daiyu.

Yingchun sighed: "My brother drove the Lai family to the north to guard Zhuangzi. I heard that it is extremely cold there and winter is about to come..."

Lian Li Wan They all came over, took a look at Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "Baoyu has finally grown up and is more sensible than before. He knows how to let his sister go."

If he really can pass the examination, That is the glory of our ancestors, and even our house has glory. ”

Although Yingchun didn’t explain it clearly, everyone knew that Yingchun pitied the Lai family. After all, Lai Da and the Lai family were considered old according to this world, and each of them had suffered fifty or sixty years of illness. Staff. Not to mention, Grandma Lai is over 70 years old, just like Mother Jia. When her son and daughter-in-law leave, will she follow or not?

Yingchun smiled and responded to Jia Lian The first sentence: "We came out of the old lady's house, justCame here together. Originally, my eldest sister-in-law was with us, but when we got to the hospital, she said she would go back to see Lan Xiaozi and went back first. ”

When Jia Baoyu mentioned something touching, he actually lifted up his robe, as if he really wanted to kneel down to Daiyu to admit her mistake. This made Li Wan and others feel moved and funny at the same time, and they quickly pulled Live with him.

It is so difficult to be a scholar, let alone pass the provincial examination. Just look at the twenty rooms of the Jia family and so many children. Over a hundred years, those who have won the examination will only be two. Just three people.

He also caught a glimpse of Daiyu Leng Qiuqiu’s eyes, but didn’t pay attention. No matter how insightful he was at people’s hearts, he wouldn’t realize that his words to make his sisters happy could turn Daiyu around. I'm jealous!

Of course, the most important thing is Qingwen's little hooves. Every time he comes over, she frowns at him, with impatience written on her face. Jia Baoyu himself I don’t know when he offended this aunt so deeply.

Tan Chun said with a smile that from a family like Jia’s, anyone who was born as a slave in his family could take the exam. It is naturally a glorious thing to be successful in the examination.

However, no matter what, you and I should not have been born like this. My father and your mother are biological brothers and sisters, you and I The two of us, not to say we are as close as brothers and sisters, at least should not be alienated from each other. If it is because of me that the girl is overly worried, I am here to apologize to you, and I will kneel down to you..."< br />
"So, it’s not that Lai Shangrong is not good. It’s just that our Jia family is not good for him. Not only is it not good, but it is also an indelible shame in his official resume. Every time he thinks about it, he may It made him anxious and unsatisfactory."

As soon as he entered the door, it was true that the three springs were here, and Daiyu was also there. However, Jia Lian was a little surprised when he saw even Jia Baoyu was there.

Jia Baoyu felt embarrassed when he heard this, his fair face turned red, and he said: "It didn't take long, mainly because he knew that Brother Lian was always busy and it was hard to come. "Excuse me..."

Daiyu didn't want to make trouble with Jia Baoyu in front of everyone anymore, so she turned around and went back. She fell into Jia Baoyu's verbal trap, which made her feel guilty, so she raised her legs and took small steps directly. Went to Sister Feng's nursery.

But I saw that Jia Baoyu today was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. Not only was he not angry when Daiyu retorted, but his heavy face became lighter. He actually said with a serious face: "Oh, since Sister Lin Instead of avoiding me, why don't you come with us to see Sister Feng?"

Daiyu, who was already about to be pestered by Tanchun and others and couldn't refuse, her face darkened and she raised her head to look at Jia. Baoyu said coldly: "Why should I avoid you? Wherever you go, others have to go, and if you don't go, you are deliberately avoiding you?"

The idea of ​​exploring spring cannot be miscalculated. , even if it weren’t for Jia LianKnowing what's going to happen next, I'm afraid he will be willing to cultivate such a seedling.

I have known for a long time that this is a stinky sister. I will never believe her words again and ignore her.

"Brother Lian is back..."

The sweet voices and the superb looks of the sisters made Jia Lian feel happy involuntarily. Greet and respond with a smile.

Jia Lian guessed that Sister Feng was moved by his heroic appearance and domineering tonight, so she admired him even more, so she smiled, sat down at the head of the kang, and greeted Yingchun and others. He sat down and said with a smile: "Why did you think of coming to me tonight?"

After all, the contemporary imperial examination is really difficult. Even a simple scholar's title has to go through the county examination. Only by obtaining qualifications through two-level examinations, namely the imperial examination and the government examination, and finally taking the college examination, can one obtain the qualification of "student member" from the hands of a provincial academic officer, which is also commonly known as a scholar.

"That's right, we are not short of money..."

Daiyu: "??"

Jia Baoyu said quickly: " If my sister doesn't want to be separated from me, she can go to Sister Feng's courtyard with us, so that she can prove her true intentions."

Jia Lian didn't take Jia Baoyu's words of evasion seriously and turned around. Continue talking to Yingchun: "Did you discuss it, or did you come together unexpectedly? Tell me, what are your curiosity? I think, most of the curiosity is fake, I'm afraid it's just like other people, when the house is short of money, I heard that I seized a lot of dirty silver from Lai’s family, so I wanted to instruct me to operate behind the scenes and give you some money to buy rouge."

Thinking of these years, because of Jia Baoyu, Daiyu's face suddenly shrank due to some grievances she suffered, and she was about to cry in the blink of an eye.

Tanchun and others still didn’t understand Jia Lian’s previous words, but she somewhat understood the last sentence and fell silent for a moment.

In terms of age, Jia Baoyu is not much older than Jia Lan, so he takes care of the younger ones in the family, Li Wan. For Jia Baoyu, she is called the eldest sister-in-law, but in fact she has nothing to do with her elders. What a difference.

When Tanchun met, he couldn't help but feel a little envious of Yingchun. She had a brother who loved her so much and coaxed her. Unlike himself, he only had an unlucky brother who was confused all day long. At this rate, not to mention relying on him in the future, and if that kid doesn't cause trouble for himself, everything will be fine for him.

Don’t think too carefully about how Lai Shangrong would answer at that time. He must have felt at that time that even if his parents were from a farm background, they were more respectable than the powerful and wealthy slaves of the Duke's government.

Simply, although Jia Lian was not her biological brother, he was still her cousin, so he threw away his worries, remembered a topic and continued to talk to Jia Lian: "Lai Da deserves it.I heard from Brother Bao that he has a son who has passed the examination as a scholar. He heard that he will also take part in the next provincial examination to take the examination. I don't know if this matter tonight will affect him.

As a cousin, Jia Baoyu's attitude of admitting his mistake showed his sincerity, but it made Daiyu very uncomfortable.

Tanchun was very relieved and felt that Jia Baoyu's attitude was very rare. In the future, everyone will live in the garden. If Daiyu and Jia Baoyu always have such resentment, not only they themselves will feel uncomfortable, but others will also be affected.

It would be okay if he does not become famous, and he needs to rely on the power of my Jia family. Once he becomes famous and has full wings, I am afraid that my Jia family will only be a humiliation for him. After all, except for saints, who else in the world is qualified to be the master of scholars? ”

Jia Baoyu really liked to go to this courtyard when he was a child, because Sister Feng and Heping were both kind and caring to him, and they both had stunning looks, so he naturally liked them.

After saying that, Sister Feng gave Jia Lian a look that seemed both complimentary and affectionate, and drifted away.

"Oh, look at the second brother, he actually speculates on us like this, They all looked down upon us. "

But unfortunately, he knew that this was a disloyal and unscrupulous person. He didn't want Tanchun and others to still have a good impression of him, so he looked at Tanchun and said, "For the Lai family, it's Guangzong Yaozu, I am afraid that for my Jia family, I may not be able to get this honor. "

Sister Feng also stood up: "Okay, I have known for a long time that you are not looking at me. Now that the real owner is back, ask him personally what you said. I will go see the little eldest sister. Go. ”

Daiyu was mentally prepared to argue with the unreasonable Jia Baoyu. Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu not only did not speak rudely again, but instead spoke so calmly that she also turned down the fighting mode. Half.

While speaking, Jia Lian turned his head and looked at Jia Baoyu aside, "Really, Brother Bao, just think about it, how many days has it been since you came to my place? The kid really likes coming here. "

Because Tanchun gouged out a few times, it was difficult for her to explain at this time. The more she explained, the more passive she became. Daiyu, who had suffered a lot, knew that she pretended not to hear at this time, so she It was the wisest choice.

Jia Baoyu looked at Daiyu with burning eyes and said warmly: "I know that I was wrong last time and I offended the girl with my words. But, as long as the girl is a Those who are thoughtful should also understand that I..."

Except when Lai Shangrong was studying abroad, whenever he returned to Beijing, he would naturally not forget to establish good relations with several important figures in the Jia family. He He is not stupid, so he naturally understands that even if he is successful, if he wants to become an official and enter an official career, he still needs the support of the Jia family.

Jia Lian, who was laughing at Tanchun's words, shook his head when he heard this and said, "Why bother? You can come and sit here with me. It's not too late for me to be happy."

Her little face turned red immediately. Firstly, because of Jia Baoyu's words, but more importantly, in front of Li Wan and others, she couldn't keep her face off. Seeing that Jia Baoyu still wanted to kneel down to her, this was clearly a mockery and pressure, so he took a step away, glared at Jia Baoyu and said: "Whoever is separated from you, who wants you again, wants you to apologize to me, you This person obviously thinks that I am living too peacefully. In a few days, I will find something to do to make the old lady and aunts tired of me..."

Jia Lian is also patient, almost like them. Of course, there is no need to elaborate on some of the profound meanings with simple sisters.

Tan Chun still did not listen to Jia Lian’s words and asked: "Second brother Lian said that we are just like everyone else. Does that mean that someone has wanted you to give him money before?"

Jia Lian smiled and said nothing. It is true that when he came back from Dongkua Courtyard and stopped by Mrs. Xing's courtyard to see Mrs. …

Tanchun and others had some speculations, but they didn’t pursue the matter and asked about the Lai family.

Seeing these two people quarreling with each other, Li Wan suddenly felt a headache, so he wanted to smooth things over with a smile and separate the two.

Miharu and others were curious to begin with. Because the Lai family has always existed in the house since they were born, they are no strangers to the Lai family, Grandma Lai and others. Now they are naturally concerned about how Jia Lian will deal with these people.

Daiyu looked on with cold eyes: Huh, sure enough he knows how to make people happy. This is probably how he makes Sister Feng and the others happy, not just me.

It is not easy for him to get in touch with Jia She, Jia Zheng and others, but with his intelligence, it is not easy to win over this little kid Jia Baoyu.

Tanchun and Xichun, one pretended to be angry, the other subconsciously argued.

Jia Baoyu suddenly made a sound, with a loud voice and a heavy face. Everyone present was startled and looked at him.

Seeing that Daiyu was really aroused by Jia Baoyu's words and took the initiative to go over, Tanchun and Xichun quickly stepped forward and held Jia Baoyu's arm, looking very satisfied and happy.

If I didn’t come in the end, it was naturally because of Daiyu. It didn't start when he learned that Daiyu was engaged, but when he discovered that Daiyu was alienated and angry with him in every possible way, but was very close to Jia Lian.

Probably after the incident at Shuiyue An, he didn’t like coming here very much. After all, it was Jia Lian and Sister Feng who captured him and Qin Zhongzhi'er in the first place. Although his brother and sister-in-law both protected and favored him, he also had his own reasons.Dear, you will naturally feel a little embarrassed to face it.

This is very good. As long as these two people talk to each other, everyone will get along easily.

Jia Lian knew that Yingchun could not bear to see others suffer, so he comforted him with a smile and said that he had sent someone to escort Lai Da and others to the north, and nothing would happen. Yingchun then turned from worry to joy.

Jia Lian’s obviously subjective words surprised everyone. Tan Chun was stunned and said: "What does second brother Lian mean by this? Could it be this person...?"

Faced with Jia Baoyu's different opinions, Jia Lian was not anxious at all and just looked at him quietly. He asked back: "Oh, if you were Lai Shangrong, when you were studying, your classmates asked you where you lived and who your parents were. How would you answer? When you were successful in your high school education, your teacher who was a high-ranking official in the government would ask you again. , how do you answer? In the end, you are an official, and your colleagues continue to ask you, how are you doing?"

Being able to get praise from Li Wan and others made me brave for a while, put down my dignity and talk to Dai After Jade explained clearly, Jia Baoyu finally felt that it was worthwhile, so a smile appeared on his face.

Jia Lian stayed outside for a while. When he returned home, he heard the singing of orioles in the house and knew that Sanchun and others had arrived, so he straightened his clothes and stepped in.

Tanchun said: "We came here with Sister Lin."

Jia Baoyu squirmed, speechless. He is noble, not stupid, so he naturally understands what Jia Lian means.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Scholars, especially those who are successful in reading, are not arrogant people.

Tan Chun was afraid that Ying Chun would say anything pitiful to Lai Jia again. , made Jia Lian unhappy, so he interrupted: "I think the second brother handled it well, and the Lai family is to blame themselves. Who told them to be greedy!" It was shocking to hear that so much had been embezzled. ”

She even directly hinted to him that if he was afraid of being suspected, he might as well store the things in her courtyard. In the end, Jia Lian just asked her if she was missing something and promised to give her fifty The two silver coins were settled.

Jia Baoyu said hurriedly: "Brother Lian is just too worried. Brother Lai is not such a person. He is a very good person..."

Therefore, if a slave really pops out of the seedling, it will naturally be big news and worthy of bragging: In our Jia family, every slave who is released will succeed in his career, which shows that he is a family of poets and writers!
< br /> As expected, Daiyu didn't answer, and Tanchun couldn't continue to sing on the stage. However, Yingchun saw Daiyu's eyes brimming with anger, and smiled and said, "Something big happened in the house today. We are all very curious. Just now we were in the old house." In my wife's room, I didn't dare to ask any more questions, so I thought of coming to my brother's place to sit together, for fear of disturbing my brother's rest. ”

“I am tiredYes, don’t you want to go? "

　……

" Jia Baoyu said, laughing at himself, and because he was afraid that Daiyu would not give her a chance to speak again, he immediately continued: "Now I already know that the girl has already As long as you belong to your heart, you will naturally not be offended in the slightest. From now on, like my third sister and the others, I will wholeheartedly bless you and my second brother Lian...

Look at Lan Boy? Jia Lian shook his head. He didn't know whether he was regretful or proud. He smiled and said nothing.

"Just go."

Jia Lian's words were so calm and emotionless, but it was impossible to refute. Even the youngest Xichun started to think deeply, feeling that the world of adults is really complicated. In the past, when everyone talked about the man named Lai, didn't they all praise him, saying that the Lai family had a Qilin...

Daiyu, who originally didn't care about this matter at all, also turned her eyes sideways. He looked at Jia Lian blankly.

Brother Lian is really very sensible. Could it be that he can penetrate people's hearts? It's just that this matter is really irresolvable, but that's not necessarily the case! As long as he is a loyal and broad-minded person, he can naturally accept a humble background. By saying this, he is probably sure that the scholar named Lai, like his parents, is disloyal.

Daiyu had something in her mind, but she just didn’t say it.
