On the second day, the funeral procession in Xiling was so huge, there were so many people, and the scene was solemn and majestic. It does not need to be elaborated.

It is only said that after Jia Mu, Feng Jieer and others left, the entire Rongguo Duke's mansion became empty immediately.

After Li Wan ordered a batch of fruits and vegetables in the big kitchen and ordered them to be delivered to the small kitchen of Daguanyuan, he walked back to the garden and felt that everything was deserted.

In the past, on the corridor where you could bump into someone every three or five steps, you didn’t see a single person.

It wasn’t until I reached the door of Sister Feng’s Courtyard that I heard bursts of laughter, accompanied by faint childish sounds.

Li Wan stopped and asked Su Yun beside him: "I heard that Mr. Hou leaves the city every day recently, leaving early and returning late?"

Su Yun replied: "It seems so. Yes. I heard people in their courtyard say that since Mistress Lian left Beijing, Mr. Lian went out very early every day and came back very late."

"Yes."

Li Wan nodded and said to Su Yun: "You go back first, I will go in and see Qiao girl."

Su Yun did not doubt that he was there, and left after saluting. go.

As expected, Sister Feng’s Courtyard is not as deserted as elsewhere. As soon as Fang entered the courtyard, Li Wan discovered that the sounds he heard before were coming from the west wing.

You can guess without looking that it must be Qingwen’s little hooves gathering the crowd to play cards. Moreover, Jia Lian and Sister Feng's daughter Qiao'er should also be there, because at the same time she heard the little maid making Qiao'er giggle.

Unintentionally going in to disturb their interest, Li Wan hesitated for a moment and walked towards the main room.

It was quiet in the main room.

When I walked to the next room, I saw Ping'er in a light blue dress, sitting by the kang doing acupuncture.

Ping'er was very serious about her work. It wasn't until she raised her head to look for something that she saw Li Wan looking at her at the door. She quickly called out: "Why is grandma here!"

Get up and say hello.

Li Wan stopped her, walked over and looked at the insole with delicate patterns embroidered in Ping'er's hand, and then looked at a pile of insoles on the stool next to him. They were the same size and style, but with different patterns. , couldn't help but ask: "Why do you make so many insoles?"

Ping'er knew that Li Wan had a modest personality and was not too formal, so he smiled and said: "Our second master often goes out. So make more for replacement."

Li Wan picked up a pair of insoles, feeling the quality of the material and the fine stitching, and sighed: "It's hard for you to be so attentive. Your father and grandma are like you. The girl is their blessing."

Ping'er was a little embarrassed by the praise.Thinking, "Actually, I seldom work as a female worker for the second master. Most of our second master's personal items are made by Qingwen. My second grandma and I only make some occasionally."

Li Wan felt something in his heart after hearing this, and said, "When I came in just now, I heard a lot of commotion in the west wing. I guess it was that girl Qingwen playing cards with someone inside again?"

"Hehehe, yes. Since the second grandma left Beijing, the second master has been busy with business outside. She has nothing to do all day long, but she only invites people to play cards to kill time."

"You too Don’t you care?”

Ping’er was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: “I want to take care of it, but I can’t, and there is no way.

Grandma doesn’t know, we I don’t know how much the second master loves her. Even when the second grandma is at home, he doesn’t care about her, so what about me?

Fortunately, although this girl is more playful, she still has some worries in her heart. She never gets into trouble for fun. She is quick with her hands and feet and can do things better than others. Over time, even the second grandma came to accept her."

Li Wan was silent for a long time after hearing this.

She couldn't understand that Jia Lian could pamper a maid to such an extent. It was common for people of all sizes in this courtyard.

Ping'er knew what Li Wan was thinking, and his stepsister laughed and said, "Grandma, you don't have to be surprised. Speaking of our courtyard, Qingwen is not the only special girl?
< br /> Grandma Xiangling also knows that she is clearly a well-behaved and ignorant person, but she prefers to study.

When the second master and second grandma are not at home, she is alone every day She stayed in the room reading and didn't go anywhere. Qingwen brought people back to play cards these two days, which might have disturbed her, but she didn't argue with Qingwen. She would go to the garden every morning with her books in her arms. Go to the Xiaoxiang Hall. It is said that it is a quiet place to study, and it is also convenient to ask Miss Lin for advice.

Hahaha, we all laughed at her, saying that she would definitely come back with a top score in the future."

Ping'er said it in a relaxed and comfortable way, and Li Wan also laughed.

Compared to Qingwen, a maid who gathered people to play cards in the master's yard, Li Wan accepted the fact that Xiangling loved reading.

She even admired Xiangling for this.

With her appearance and temperament, as well as her willingness to study and be wise, she might have some good fortune in the future.

Just as Li Wan and Heping'er were chatting, they suddenly heard Qiao Jie'er's cry coming from outside. Ping'er's face tightened, and he quickly put down the things in his hands and came out to ask what was going on.

"Sister Ping'er, the little eldest sister accidentally fell..."

"Ah, why did you fall and get hurt? ”

“No, no, it’s just a mark on my forehead, not even the skin is broken...”

Although the little maid said it was okay, Ping’er was still worried. He ran to the west wing to check the situation.

Li Wan also went over and took a look to make sure that there was nothing wrong with him. He also saw that the whole yard was making noise due to Sister Qiao's bump, and he had no time to pay attention. Li Wan stood on the corridor for a long time and left silently.

Walking into the garden alone, looking at the empty and beautiful garden scenery, Li Wan lingered for a moment and chose to walk to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
/>
“Where are you girls and Miss Zhen? "

"Just now, the third girl came over to invite our girl and Miss Zhen, saying that the peach blossoms on Qinfang Gate were blooming, and invited them to come and see the peach blossoms. ”

When he heard the maid say this outside Daiyu’s house, Li Wan did not enter the house. He gave a few instructions such as taking good care of Daiyu and Zhen Yuhuan. If there is anything needed or missing, just send someone. He told her and Li Wan left.

On the way back, he suddenly saw a man sitting on a stone reading by a small stream under the bamboo forest outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
< br /> Take a closer look, isn’t it the bookworm Xiang Ling?

The bright spring light spreads around her through the gaps in the bamboo, and accompanied by the slight sound of water, it creates a good mood.

Li Wan couldn’t help but stop and look a few more times before lifting his legs and walking away.

Back in Daoxiang Village, Li Wan went to his son Jia Lan’s room first.

Seeing no one, Fang asked the maid who was sleeping on the recliner outside.

The maid who woke up hurriedly said: "Lang Ge'er has finished his homework and went out to play with his homemade bow and arrow. . "

Hearing that his son had gone out to play again, Li Wan subconsciously showed displeasure. Finally, when he heard that he had gone out after completing the homework assigned by her, Fang Huanming immediately sent someone to retrieve him. The thought of coming.

Turned around to leave, but suddenly turned back to the maid and said: "I have nothing to do today. If you are sleepy, just go back to the house and rest. If you sleep here, what if you get sleep sickness? ”

After saying that, Li Wan ignored the reaction of the moved and ashamed maid, and turned back to the main room.

Li Wan’s widowed aunt came to Beijing because she had business to attend to. Yes, she happened to be taking her daughter back to her parents' home in the past two days, so Li Wan didn't even have anyone to talk to at this time.

After changing clothes, he sat in front of the dressing table and looked in the mirror. Her clear and delicate face was as dull as the ashes of dead wood. Depressed, she subconsciously took out an eyebrow pencil from her makeup package to modify it.

Suddenly she remembered that this eyebrow pencil belonged to Jia Jia.Lian brought one of the makeup sets she had brought back from Jiangnan and assigned her to it, but the hand she held did not move for a long time.

After a long time, I let it go.

If there was no intention, why was it disturbed in the first place?

If there is affection, why are we alienated now?

After all, people who are unlucky are doomed to have a bad life.

…

On Ningrong Street, Jia Lian walked directly home after getting off his horse.

"Why are you back so early today? Have you had lunch?"

Ping'er carried Sister Qiao and walked to the corridor with a happy face. Look at Jia Lian.

“We ate outside the city.”

Jia Lian took his daughter from Ping’er. Seeing tears on her little face, I couldn't help but ask what was wrong.

Ping'er told the story about the little girl who accidentally fell while running away.

Jia Lian didn’t care too much. Children are naturally restless, and bumping into each other is common. Naturally, he will not be as harsh on his servants as Sister Feng.

He held his daughter in his arms and coaxed her until she giggled, then handed her back to the maid in charge of taking care of her.

When he came to the inner room to change his clothes, it was rare to see Qingwen there. Jia Lian couldn't help but smile and said, "Why, you didn't go out to play cards today?"

Qingwen smiled and said, "What a coincidence. The second master said that they only know how to play cards. It’s just that the second master is away from the family and has nothing to do, so he only plays occasionally..."

Qingwen felt a little guilty. In fact, it was because Sister Qiao fell in the west wing, but fortunately she was not seriously injured.

But even so, some timid people who dared to stay in the land of right and wrong quickly made excuses and ran away.

When there are fewer people, the game will naturally break up.

Of course, Jia Lian also made fun of Qingwen casually. As far as he is concerned, a beautiful girl like Qingwen, who is naturally beautiful and loyal to him, is willing to stay at home every day and wait for him to come back. She just has a hobby of playing cards. What is there to blame?

So he pinched her cheek and asked Ping'er about the situation at home.

Ping'er said that everything was business as usual at home. Li Wan was temporarily in charge of the trivial matters in the house, and Aunt Xue was in the garden watching the girls, but nothing happened.

“By the way, grandma came here just now.”

“Oh, what is she here for?”

“It’s not like that He seemed to have something to do, so he said a few words to me and left."

Because Jia Lian and Heping'er didn't say anything serious.Next to her, Qingwen gave the clothes to Jia Lian who was dressed and said: "Someone brought in some fresh seasonal fruits in the morning. What do you want to eat? I'll wash it and serve it to you, okay?"

When Jia Lian heard this, he knew that this girl was probably greedy.

"You pick up what you like and wash it, and you can eat it when I come back."

Jia Lian picked up Qingwen and looked at her red and tender cherry mouth Just a kiss. He turned around and saw that Ping'er's face was glowing, so he stood there and pointed at his face.

Ping'er had no choice but to put down his clothes for the time being, walked to Jia Lian and kissed him, and then watched the satisfied Jia Lian stride away.

Seeing this, both Ping'er and Qingwen knew that their second master probably wanted to go to the garden first. Moreover, most of them went to see Miss Lin.

Ping'er and Qingwen guessed well. Jia Lian had indeed entered the garden, and it was indeed his first step to arrive at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is built along the water, quiet and elegant.

Jia Lian, who had been here countless times, walked to Daiyu’s room with ease.

Oh, it’s noon, and this girl is actually hiding in the house and sleeping in.

Jia Lian walked over and looked at Daiyu, who was lying on her back wantonly on the couch, with one snow-white arm half exposed outside the quilt. Her sleeping appearance was very different from that of a fairy. Jia Lian couldn't help but smile.

Without any explanation, he picked up his arms and stuffed them into the quilt for her.

During this period, I saw the fairy daughter's eyebrows frowning slightly, turning slightly to the side, and a shallow cry came out of the two cherry lips.

Jia Lian was very happy to hear this, and couldn't help but lower his head and move forward.

The original intention was just to take a quick peck while Daiyu was sleeping. The clinker was pleasant to the touch and made people ecstasy. Jia Lian was a little greedy, thinking that Daiyu usually refused to kiss him, so he might as well get his money back with interest at this time.

It is human nature to go to Long and look forward to Shu, and Jia Lian is no exception.

Taking advantage of her lips, she tries to knock her lips together. I open my teeth and want to curl my tongue. After curling his tongue, he seemed to have lost his mind and couldn't bear to let go!

With him like this, no matter how deeply he sleeps, he still has to wake him up. What's more, the lovely person on the couch didn't sleep deeply, so he quickly felt someone's intrusion.

When Jia Lian realized something was wrong and wanted to evacuate, it was already too late.

With a guilty conscience, he kept staring at Daiyu’s little face. Such an article makes it easier to appreciate Daiyu's face and deepen the enjoyment of the soul. On the other hand, he was on guard against Daiyu waking up.

Suddenly I saw those tender and tender eyesHer eyes suddenly opened and she stared straight at him. Jia Lian, who had been alone for a long time, had no time to retreat.

Jia Lian, who felt a little embarrassed, simply stopped thinking about retreating.

Anyway, this girl is already his, and it’s not like she hasn’t been kissed before!

The heartbroken Jia Lian tried to collect a last wave of interest before Daiyu could react and kicked him, so his movements were sudden and violent, even rude.

With him like this, Keren'er, who was bullied by him, seemed to finally react and started to squirm. A pair of weak arms also took out from the quilt and pushed him.

Such resistance was almost negligible to Jia Lian.

What was even more gratifying for Jia Lian was that he found that Daiyu soon became too lazy to resist. Not only did her body slowly relax, but she actually began to respond to him.

Jia Lian was still proud at first, feeling that Daiyu had finally figured it out and was no longer too reserved, or perhaps she missed him too much this time, and she wanted to help him out because of her feelings.

With such an image in his heart, Jia Lian would naturally not be polite. Even because of male instinct, he was soon not only satisfied with the little beauty's beautiful lips and sweet tongue, but also turned over on the bed, just like the night Qingwen dedicated herself, asking for wantonly from her small body.

But Jia Lian is still Jia Lian after all. Although he was temporarily confused by Daiyu's beauty and didn't think too much, he soon realized something was wrong.

It is true that through his unremitting efforts, he and Daiyu have become extremely close. Even when Daiyu occasionally gets emotional, she can't help but let him take advantage of her.

But it shouldn’t be like this...

Jia Lian raised his head and looked at the delicate body beneath him, which was kicked slightly, as beautiful as a peach blossom, and the bellyband that had been peeled off by him was exposed. But he wrapped his arms and legs tightly around himself. Even after he raised his head, he still couldn't help but want to raise his head and kiss his "Daiyu". Jia Lian's heart skipped a beat and all movements stopped suddenly.

The little beauty tried her best to lean up and kiss Jia Lian twice. She noticed that Jia Lian no longer responded, but looked at her silently. She seemed to understand something, her movements slowly stopped, and her face flushed. , also dissipated at a visible speed.

But her hands and feet were still reluctant to let go.

Jia Lian stood up, sat on the edge of the couch, and said for a long time: "Are you, Yuhuan girl?"

"Well..."

A gentle response broke Jia Lian's luck and made Jia Lian feel confused.

　“Why not...”

　“Because I like you!”

A pair of slender jade arms that I had seen before came around from behind and wrapped in front of me, followed by the feeling of the delicate jade body pressing against my back.

　“I like my adopted brother. I have liked him since he picked me up from the freezing lotus pond. I like him very much.

So brother-in-law, don’t worry, it was all of my own free will..."

My body is covered with a beautiful body, and what I hear in my ears is the soft whisper of a beautiful woman.

Jia Lian had no doubt that the little beauty on his back was not lying to him. At this moment, as long as he turns around, the delicate beauty behind him, who is almost one and the same as Daiyu, might be able to be completely captured by him...

Jia Lian raised his hand and shook it. Holding the pair of jade arms clasped in front of his chest, he gently opened them when the other party trembled, and then stood up.

Looking back at Zhen Yuhuan who was sitting on the fragrant couch, looking forward to it, shy and puzzled, Jia Lian forcibly turned his head and said: "What I did just now was because of my brother's offense. I will tell my sister another day." Apologize!"

After saying that, Jia Lian lifted his legs and left directly.

On the couch, the delicate and beautiful Zhen Yuhuan, with her clothes in messy clothes, watched Jia Lian leave like this, her mouth opened, but she could not say anything to keep him.

When she was young and ignorant, she would sacrifice everything for the person she liked, including her own innocence.

Although she also understood at this time that Jia Lian probably regarded her as Daiyu, so he took advantage of her while she was sleeping and took advantage of her.

She didn't mind it, but felt a little disappointed and aggrieved.

Could it be that she was so much worse than Sister Lin? Even if it was like this, why did her sworn brother leave without looking back...

After murmuring sadly for a while, Zhen Yuhuan suddenly faced her again. With a blushing face, she raised her hand and touched her lips.

Numb and crispy, it seems that the taste of the stepbrother still remains!

"Ah, I'm so embarrassed..."

Zhen Yuhuan didn't know what she thought of, she murmured, fell on the bed, wrapped herself in the quilt, and fell on Daiyu's side I turned around on the bed several times.

It wasn’t until a long time later that she got out again, carefully tied the clothes that had become more and more messy due to her movements one by one, and then lay back in the quilt again, with her head Guali is thinking about some things that are not available...
