Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber
Chapter 187
Time flies and it's the time of the Chinese New Year. This time everyone gathered together and celebrated the New Year lively.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xichun finally got the news from Jia Wu.
Jia Wu said that during this period of time, apart from teaching Jia Rong, Jia Jing was secretly dealing with Prince Zhongshun. Watching him act a few times, he seemed faintly crazy.
In addition to these, there is one more thing, Jiamu's illness in Xifu has become worse and has not recovered, and now she is completely in a state of suspense.
Jia Wu checked carefully and found that Jia's mother was seriously ill a few days before Xichun's wedding. What's more strange is that Jia's mother had been seriously ill for so long. Jia Wu also discovered it by accident.
There is also the Lai family, now they are impoverished, Nanny Lai can still hold on, but the people below can't take it anymore.
The Jia family can no longer give them any benefits, so what are they still doing?
In the end, all the members of the Lai family left except Madam Lai.Living in the capital is very costly, and they can survive in smaller cities.
But Jia Wu couldn't find out their whereabouts. It seemed that they disappeared as soon as they left the city gate.
Xichun put down the letter paper, and picked up the letters from Nanny Hu and Jia Jing to read.
Mother Hu said that there were occasional turmoil in the capital, but they closed their doors and lived their lives regardless of everything, so they were not affected. Recently, in the Nan'an Palace, she also tried to provoke the relationship between Liu Mama's people. Now some people have other ideas, and finally She also mentioned Jia Jing, saying that she went back several times to give gifts, and the gifts received by You Shi or Xu Shi were always worthy of recognition. She never saw Jia Jing, but judging by the behavior of Jia's servants, it didn't seem like what's the matter.
Jia Jing's letter from home said that everything was fine with him, but he was busy with too many things.After Xichun got married, You stayed in the mansion to help the housekeeper, which saved him a lot of trouble. He also said that Xu learned quickly, and now he looks a bit better. Jia Rong is also working hard, and now he has put some things aside He did it for him, and he did a good job. He planned to practice Jia Rong for a while and then let him out. Finally, he told Xichun to take good care of himself.
Xichun looked at the three letters, and looked back in the direction of the capital with a sense of loss.
She wants to go back.
Xichun wanted to go back to Beijing to see for herself. After discussing with Jin Han, Xichun began to move things forward or backward as much as possible, and finally freed up a few months, and returned to Beijing in June.
Tanchun went back to Beijing with her, firstly to send Yingchun to get married, and secondly to go back to Shanxi for a visit. After all, she has been out for so long, and if she doesn't go back, Mrs. Zhao will kill her.
Xichun returned home like an arrow, making the carriage faster along the way, and endured motion sickness, but Tanchun looked back from time to time, and occasionally thoughtful.
Seeing Tanchun like this, Xichun couldn't help asking, "Third sister, who are you waiting for?"
Tanchun was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "No one."
Xichun leaned on her shoulder, "Third sister, in this world, it's hard to find three-legged men, but there are many men with two legs."
Tan Chun's eyes widened in shock, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Hurry up and shut up."
It was only after he finished speaking that he realized, "You...you know?"
Xichun twirled a plum and put it in his mouth, "Yes, I know, tell me, when did he confess to you?"
Tanchun was even more confused, and stammered, "Confession?"
Xichun nodded, "Yeah, looking at him like that, we thought it would be a while before he said anything."
"Us?" Tanchun was even more confused, his mouth opened and closed, and finally he covered his face and sighed, "So I was the only one kept in the dark?"
"No." Xichun corrected her, "It's because you didn't think about that."
Tanchun was silent for a long time before saying: "Who would think about that when he has nothing to do, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary."
Xichun chuckled, "If he really did something out of the ordinary, I would have killed him long ago."
Tanchun: ...the fourth younger sister suddenly became very cruel.
Tanchun said slowly, "At first I just thought he was a good man, a good friend, took good care of me, and was a good big brother. After knowing some of his experiences, I admired him, and I hope I can be like him in the future.”
In Tanchun's eyes, Yan Yang is very powerful. He is so attractive at such a young age that he has built such a large family business with his own hands.
In Tanchun's eyes, Yan Yang is her role model and her goal. She has never thought about the relationship between men and women.
Therefore, when Yan Yang confessed to her suddenly, Tanchun's first reaction was that Yan Yang was joking with her.
So Tanchun smiled and patted Yan Yang on the shoulder, "Haha! Brother Yan, you can't fool me this time, you and I are both men, this excuse is too fake."
Yan Yang held back with anxiety, his expression twisted, "I don't know if you are a man or a woman?!"
Tanchun was surprised at first, but she still didn't believe it. She felt that she hadn't shown her feet.
When Yan Yang saw Tanchun, he knew what she was thinking, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Have you forgotten that time when you fell into the water?"
Tanchun: "..."
I can't remember how Tanchun went back that day, but I only remember Yan Yang's words kept replaying in her ears, Tanchun was in a daze for two days, and then ran away with Xichun.
Xichun's expression was filled with hatred, "What are you hiding from! It's not like you did something wrong!"
Tanchun also had regret on his face, "I don't know, anyway, I subconsciously avoided him when I saw him those few days."
Anyway, Tanchun fled subconsciously, but she left without seeing Yan Yang's reaction.
Tanchun bit her lip and asked softly, "Fourth sister, do you think... did he give up?"
I don't know whether Yan Yang gave up on Xichun, but she knew that Tanchun was interested in Yan Yang. Thinking about it carefully, Yan Yang's trick of boiling frogs in warm water can be said to have been done with great skill.
Xichun patted Tanchun's hand, "Don't think about it anymore, if there is a fate, it should be yours and you can't escape."
Tanchun was still a little dazed, and Xichun directly talked about Yingchun's marriage to divert her attention.
Sure enough, Tanchun didn't think about it any more, "Both families want to make a big deal, but there is no time."
Mainly Wu Hai, he wanted to personally marry Yingchun and go back to Lingnan to worship, so there was not enough time, after all, it was impossible for the imperial court to give him such a long vacation just for his marriage.
Xichun is very satisfied with Wu Hai's kindness, so she tried her best to help Wu Hai, "Now let's go back to the capital to have a look, the Wu family also has a house in the capital, but no one lives there for too long, although Some servants looked at it as a bit deserted, so I thought about whether I could clean it up, marry my second sister into that house at that time, and then slowly return to Lingnan."
Tanchun also thought this was a good idea, "It's fine, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable for my second sister to travel from the capital to Lingnan in a sedan chair."
The two talked about Lin Daiyu's marriage again, "Sister Lin's marriage will be next spring, but after calculating the time, we can only spare a few days to send Sister Lin out of the court."
Tanchun felt nothing, "It's good to be able to personally send Sister Lin out of the cabinet. Before you came out of the cabinet, I was able to help entertain the guests. I watched you say goodbye and get married, but Second Sister and Sister Lin could only accompany you in the back." Watching you, seeing your bridal sedan go out, you have to hurry up to the tall building."
Xichun couldn't help laughing when she recalled the shadow she saw on the Tianxiang Building when she returned home.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then slowly talked about the gift.
When Xichun returned to Beijing, she still lived in Nan'an Palace, and Madam Hu asked Lidong to bring someone to wait at the gate of the city early in the morning.
Lidong lost a lot of weight. When he saw Xichun, he knelt down and kowtowed to pay his respects. Xichun quickly got her up and got into the carriage to talk.
Lidong's whole temperament is different. She used to be lively and cheerful and loved to laugh, but now she can sit quietly by the side without saying a word. If you don't pay attention, it's really easy to ignore her, but Lidong opened her mouth , I know that she has something in mind, and she speaks slowly, with a little more calmness.
Xichun was also very happy to see Lidong like this, and at the same time, she also understood that Madam Hu taught her with all her heart.
"How is the medicine? Is there any discomfort now?" Xichun said while reaching out to take Lidong's pulse.
Lidong's eyes began to turn red, such a good master, how could she be so stupid at the beginning, self righteous for the sake of the master, and almost harmed the master.
Lidong answered Xichun's words sentence by sentence, and then talked about the situation in Nan'an Palace.
After speaking, his mouth was dry, and Ru Hua handed him a cup of tea. Lidong took it and smiled at Ru Hua, but his mood suddenly became complicated.
In the end, the lack of the first-class maid was filled by Ruhua. It was not that Xichun was biased, but that Ruhua started to work hard after knowing the vernal equinox. Everyone saw her performance. After she passed the assessment and became a first-class maid, the following None of the maids and mother-in-law were dissatisfied.
Lidong lowered his eyes and encouraged himself in his heart.
If Xichun is still willing to use her, then she is still useful!And who stipulated that there can only be four first-class maids?Thinking of the words that Madam Hu beat her during this time, Lidong's mood stabilized again.
Lidong raised his head, his eyes were clear and clear, revealing a faint determination.
Seeing Xichun, she felt even more satisfied.
Arriving at Nan'an Prince's Mansion, Xichun noticed the change in the atmosphere in the mansion.
Hu Nanny smiled and prepared vegetables for Xichun, "Don't worry, Princess, it's just a little quarrel."
Nanny Hu slowly talked about the changes in Nan'an Palace these days. After Xichun finished listening, she thanked Nanny Hu repeatedly, "There is also the matter of Lidong. If it wasn't for Mammy's trouble, how could she figure it out so quickly."
Hu Nanny only said that this is what she should do, "If we used to discipline a little bit in the past, she wouldn't be like this."
Xichun didn't mean to blame Nanny Hu at all, after all, when she came to Jia's mansion as a monk, Nanny was only responsible for teaching her, and Lichun and the others were incidental.
Mother Hu said again: "I also asked Lidong carefully about this matter, and asked her what kind of things she encountered that made her have these thoughts. Finally, I analyzed and found that Lidong had this idea, half of which belonged to me, and half of it belonged to her. Belonging to someone secretly guiding."
Xichun's good mood suddenly disappeared, "Can you find out who it is from?"
Hu Nanny shook her head, "The time is too long and there are not enough manpower, but based on the analysis of those who know it, it is inseparable from the old lady of Jia's West Mansion."
After Xichun finished her rest, Mother Liu came to see her. When Xichun saw her this time, she clearly noticed that she was much older than last year, and she lost the confidence to speak to her.
Xichun smiled, and only followed her words, but refused to answer anything, only saying that she was relieved that Mama Liu was in charge.
On the second day, Xichun went to the Buddhist hall early in the morning, and did not let the maids inform her, so she greeted her directly outside the Buddhist hall. When Liu's mother heard the news, Xichun had already gone back to Jia's mansion.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xichun finally got the news from Jia Wu.
Jia Wu said that during this period of time, apart from teaching Jia Rong, Jia Jing was secretly dealing with Prince Zhongshun. Watching him act a few times, he seemed faintly crazy.
